That presumes some foreknowledge about where that will happen. No part of the world is immune from a Hitler or Stalin coming to power, so for all you know he'll inherit those toys.

The thing to do is to launch 100 Tomahawks so that you can then use stealth aircraft to trash the SAM sites and interceptor aircraft that reveal themselves to shoot them down.
That was Humble INDIE bundle.
No problem with it being from big publishers.

Only on Origin though? Ayup, that's a dealbreaker.
This deal sounds great, but I'll take a pass. There's no point in denying that EA is doing something good, but knowing their way of doing business leads me to believe that they're just doing this to make Origin more popular and get more possible future customers. That's certainly not a bad thing, after all they're a company that wants to make more money, but I choose to avoid participating in anything they do.
Well, producing child pornography is a crime that is inherently victim-ful. (I do not include cartoon CP here)

Producing drugs today happens to have victims because of social policies etc, but those aren't inherent to the act of producing the drug.

There are victims in the production of certain modern day goods (like electronics, clothes, etc.) but that doesn't mean that manufacturing iPhones necessarily leads to exploited Chinese workers. (although one could make the argument that selling iPhones at the price that they are sold for today cannot be realistically achieved without having Foxconn-style factories)
The F-35 has EODAS for spherical optical threat detection vs OLS front only on a Su-35 Flanker.

Also, a Su-35 Flanker cant fire a missile at 50km without radar lock, which would be difficult against a F-35. Even if they did fire a future Long-Range IR missile, the F-35 would detect and release flares to avoid the missile. Also, the kinetics of the missile would make it hard to track a F-35 during terminal phase.

A F/A-18 has significant less range and time on station than F-35, with both internally fueled. The F/A-18 carries all weapons externally.

As for your comment about stealth when the F-22 fires a missile, that assumes the F-22 doesn't change course after firing said missile. The F-22 would most likely turn away from the target, so they are not staying behind the missile relative to the target.

Pretty much everything you said in this entire thread is wrong or at least misguided.
I think the broader principle of this post is solid. It's one that I've been thinking a lot as a friend asked me to advise his dating-site startup.

I don't like the space for one major reason (and job hunting is isomorphic with dating): to optimize making money you have to fail to deliver on the expectations of those for whom you're matchmaking.

With dating/jobhunting if you create a supremely efficient market place that finds the match almost immediately your customers go away. They don't need your service any more. It behooves you to increase the inefficiency of your marketplace to deliver almost-matches that keep people interested and paying, but not quite good enough to make them leave.

Perhaps you could argue that a job board is different because employers are repeat finders and will come back again and again - the adultfriendfinder approach, people who keep getting laid keep paying.

Either way they're tough businesses to make money on AND deliver a great service.

LinkedIn does a ton of other things of course, to monetize, and isn't just a job board. But that just raises questions about some of their other practises of holding your own data hostage - which seems to be a key business model for social network monetization at the moment, and that's a whole other question.

I do believe that chromium doesn't send too much data to google compared to chrome but i also find that chrome/chromium is significantly faster at loading many sites that i use on a daily basis and could be reason to switch, also with firefox's 6-week release schedule it seems that many people are becoming frustrated with the constant updates, all decent reasons to consider a change of default web browser.
> You can make a ton of money but if you rent you pay (indirectly) the same property tax as your neighbor and the same as the tenant five years ago paying 1/2 the rent (since the same landlord has held the building the whole time and you can't re-appraise under prop 13).

You seem to be confusing SF rent control with California property tax re-appraisal rules. Prop 13 limits on the increase in tax basis value of property don't affect landlords ability to raise rents.

> If you buy, meanwhile, Googlers pay extra only to the extent property values rise.

And, because of Prop 13, not more than 1% more for that reason per year, unless they buy new property or do something else that allows an unlimited move to full market value.
Ember.js is incredible. But, I highly recommend looking into the non-opinionated options out there as well.

I started with Ember.js building my app, but realized it exceeded the needs of the project and strongly imposed the design of the application. Since I had the time to invest up front, I switched to using non-opinionated libraries:

- Rivets.js for DOM data binding: http://rivetsjs.com/

- Director for URL routing: https://github.com/flatiron/director (also see Crossroads.js)

- Stapes.js for observable objects: http://hay.github.io/stapes/ (Stapes provided the foundation for my controllers and models)

I was able to borrow lots of design concepts I learned from Ember when re-implementing, and the total JS file size ended up being about half.
Ember-data is still a giant puddle of suck, and I'm sure the Ember team knows it.

You are absolutely correct, but you could also afford to be a bit more polite. Sentences like "In other words, you have no idea what the difference is" might be true but they're also a bit rude.
Some may require "EA activation" which pops up at the first run of the game, but they don't require origin if they have a Steam key.
I'm not entirely sure what problem you're referring to here, but I wrote a tool to enable with mapping JSON to native Go types: https://github.com/ChimeraCoder/gojson . Basically, you specify the narrowest possible type that covers all expected (valid) inputs.

If your JSON is effectively "strongly typed" (most APIs are), this is going to be a huge win for you.

If your JSON is not, then you'll have a problem in any statically typed language (not just Go), because you need some way to reason about the type. You'll also have the same problem with dynamically typed languages as well - the main difference is that Go will never do implicit casts (I would view this as a good thing).

I've done a lot of work in Go involving JSON (that's originally why I wrote the above tool - to save myself time), and in practice, it's rare that I have to do anything more than decode, check for an error[0], and then move on.

[0] Which is something everyone should do in all languages, not just Go - once you've confirmed that there is no error, you rid yourself of a lot of possible bugs that could pop up later on in harder-to-discover places.
Respectfully, why not? Putting aside state regulation, what's your objection to recreational drug use?

edit -- I'm pretty sure your second sentence appeared after I commented. In any event, I don't mean to put you out. Just curious.
1) Definitely ask for more, they're low-balling you.
2) Take it as a lesson learned. The earlier you nailed this down, the better your negotiation position is.
>> ...alcoholism is often linked to highly driven, ambitious, over-achieving personality types...

I have come across this point multiple times in the past -- reading or conversing -- but never has a concrete source or study been cited. Not to say I don't agree with it -- anecdotal evidence is not always false.

It is really true though? I consider myself very driven and ambitious and also have a drinking habit, but know a few others who don't.
very cool - did not see an option to see everything all at once?

hi mr.?

I heard he's buying a car wash operation or two.
right - like a candidate anti-pattern - this person so lacks confidence in their abilities that they're trying to game the system to get attention (unfair probably but I'd be shocked if that wasn't the perception of many employers)
It is not "like a drug", it is a drug just like any other substances commonly called drugs. We just integrated it into our culture, and learned to live with it and accept the consequences of its use (on the societal level, personally it is still as capable of destroying lives as any other drug if abused). But it doesn't change neither chemistry nor biology nor physiology of what is happening.

So if someone talks to you about dangers of such things as marijuana while sipping wine or beer - you're talking to either dangerously ignorant or dangerously dull person.
Normally not that many (likely somewhere between 2000-5000, but almost certainly <10k; depends on time day, etc.) although the visitors may well be bunched up around the time the article comes out.

What can make traffic explode is if other news sites pick up on the article to do their own or if it triggers a viral response on twitter. But if you keep an eye on things you should have enough advance warning if that happens.

I'd make sure you have a good "about" page, the value of a techcrunch article isn't the amount of visitors but rather the fact that the visitors are often high-value (journalists, investors, M&A people, job seekers, etc.) so at the very least have an about page with mini-bios of the team, location and contact information.
TLDR is they do.

The medium form answer is look at the periodic table. There's block of s (which don't count because other than H/He they are buried deep in the atom) and a block of d where the full ones do have ridiculous low melting points compared to neighbors (like Zinc, Cadmium, Mercury...) and a block of p shell where the full p shells are the well known noble gases which are liquid at really low temps and the block of f weirdos who don't matter.

As for the f weirdos not mattering look at the electron configuration for something like Tb. Yes very nice that it has a peculiar collection of 4 level f shaped orbital electrons but I guess the more influential effect is the 5 level s and 5 level p and more importantly the 6 level s way out there in front of the mere 4 level f. Its kind of like D+D or pathfinder multiclass, oh, you have 2 levels of bard multiclassed into your level 10 sorcerer, well whatever, that bard isn't going to matter very much compared to the sorcerer level powers.

So back to your question, the filled p make great gasses at room temp not mere liquids you are totally correct here, the filled d have really low melting points for metals like Hg being a liquid as discussed, and the filled f are weirdos who fool around with electron configurations at mere level 4 when the real chemical action is at level 6 so they don't matter (sorta)

For a more correct, longer form answer someone else will have to step in.
You could always just scale your payment by how many of the games you can get on steam.
This is rather disappointing, and reminds me of an XKCD: http://xkcd.com/1138/
I've experience with 2 companies who had exposure on TC. Both companies mentioned very few signups from being shown there.

I don't like the technology stack they are working on and more than anything I hate the city they are based in.

You will resent your work and you will be unhappy with where you are geographically.
This is absolutely incorrect. Valve puts up with Uplay because they aren't a competing marketplace, but when EA wanted to make their new games sold on Steam require Origin installation as well, Valve told them to go fly a kite. That's why games like Battlefield 3 are not available on Steam at all.
I suspect a history of family related substance abuse. That usually does it.
As someone who no longer drinks, but spends a lot of time in bars (where I live its the only way to really socialize publicly), a soda water in a drink glass is nice, because it avoids awkwardness and seeming odd man out - ppl just assume its vodka or such.

Of course not liking bars is a different thing entirely :-)
Drug is a political term.
Alcohol affects people differently. We are all not the same.
I suspect they will still do a single burn somewhere around apogee of the first stage; if I understand correctly they are well into their gravity turn by the time it separates so they'll have some horizontal velocity they will need to get rid of.

Maybe they are going to push the gravity turn later into the flight so that the first stage doesn't participate in that as much?
> I don't like the space for one major reason (and job hunting is isomorphic with dating): to optimize making money you have to fail to deliver on the expectations of those for whom you're matchmaking.

For job hunting (but probably not dating), its at least conceivable that you can structure the charge model to one where one or the other party (or both) is paying for success in making a match (basically, that's what lots of non-web-based employment "matchmaking" services of various kinds do), so that you can, in fact, align customer satisfaction with profit maximization.
Was thinking that too. For all the verbiage, there was only a vague "I had only been averaging a couple drinks a day" way down the article as an indication of what the abstained-from baseline was. Averaging two? The "couple" numeric implies room for large values of 2, and "averaging" easily includes two days of nothing followed by 6 in short order.

This brings back the crux of those who argue such subjects: some people are the "a glass with dinner" type and experience almost no effect, some people are the "six-pack at a time" type and experience significant effect, and very few in either category seem able to acknowledge the other category exists at all. Their average may be comparable, but frequency * intensity produce wildly differing results.
He lost a little weight, but had an increase in asthma symptoms. He had a harder time winding down, but slept a little better.

I'm not sure what you got out of this article that confirms your aversion to this drug. Care to elaborate?
I don't drink but find myself in bars a lot. I also don't like soda and won't drink fake beer. A lot of the time I will get a cup of coffee. Depending on the bar they will have something decent brewing. Nicer bars its actually enjoyable, quality stuff. Rough dive bars its usually some instant garbage that's been on the hot plate all night that serves no purpose other than to wake up the drunks before they drive home.
Well it is a drug, there is no debate there. Like any drug, such as caffeine or aspirin, one must decide for themselves 1) whether the associated positives outweigh the associated negatives and 2) whether you're able to control your consumption so as not to tip scale from net positive to net negative. Legality and ease-of-acquisition are a part of this decision.

I like drinking, and brewing, and would never give it up; that said, it's crazy to me that others find it so far outlandish that someone would want to abstain. It's kind of like having kids: there are great reasons to want them, and great reasons to not want them. It shouldn't be hard to appreciate both perspectives.
Yup, I still think the last answer is wrong.
Ask HN: How to get media, blog coverage for a new startup/product/technology
What are some tips & tricks to get media coverage for a new startup that hasn't been _publicly_ funded yet?

All the blogs (TC, GigaOM, VB, etc.) have staff writers and these staff writers need to publish X amount of stories per week. Most of the time, they're not even stories, just gossip on who raised what and what these guys are doing. Little substance usually.

Is the best method to simply email writers and ask them to run a short story on what you're doing, your technology, your team, how you're trying to change a particular sector, etc.

It's easy for the likes of Max Levchin to get press coverage on an idea (Glow) before any tangible goods, but we're not all Max.

Would love some insight.

To extend on wiredfools remarks, the effect of non-full means lots of electron sharing going on. But if they're full, the (smaller) effects of relativity are the only effects so they're dominant. The neighbors are non-full so the sharing they do is way more important level than relativity level effects.
Seeing as everybody seems to want you to drink, I would like to say that I commend your ability to stay away from substances of abuse. I, for one, cannot.
Possibly. Healthwise, a drink or two every day is actually beneficial. The fact that he says he used it as a crutch, possibly. At least he recognizes it in the end.
The EFF quite possibly asks to be removed themselves.
Very little. I've made a pretty decent career of doing things that are hard or expensive or both, generally for cheap.

I built an semi-automated package dimensioner and barcode reader for about $5k in parts plus my time The NRE was probably around $40k. A fully automated one (including transport) starts at something like $80k. The company I worked for then might have lost money on the first one (only if you look at opportunity cost) but by the time they build three, they've saved at least $150k. Three of them plus the employees to operate them would have a similar throughput, higher dimensional capacity and better exception handling (what do you do with a damaged package? Or one that's leaking?) than the one fully automated system. An $80k system that can do 10x what your needs are is definitely more expensive even if the per-unit costs are the same because you're paying for idle time.

Elon Musk isn't going to call me up and ask me to build that system for him. But if he did I wouldn't have too many problems making it happen. The difficulty isn't making the machine, it's finding someone with the constitution to ride out the periods of uncertainty and doubt while all the bugs are being ironed out.

EDIT: When I've suggested that I could do the research and build a 10-20" prototype I'm referring just to the pipe positioning jig + orbital welding system. Not a small-scale hyperloop. That would be quite insane. Just a precision alignment jig and associated welding equipment to do the final fit and assembly of the pre-fabricated pieces.
This looks like a good deal, but I heard something about Origin being full of spyware. Is there any truth to this or is it just FUD?

Further your point that ti has been integrated into our culture, I've read interesting pieces (probably linked by HackerNews) where it was integral to the founding of culture at all. We're a pretty edgy species, and alcohol has historic significance in helping us come down from the anxiety of and reach political/social agreement.

Back to the topic, though I'd love to spider on the drugs-in-society vein, I'm glad OP documented the experience. Have a feeling it will make me much more conscience of the assisted wind-down when I grab a beer after work.
Not credibly; the transaction flow of mining looks very different from SR.
It's worse. BTC transactions are eternal and only one really expensive bit of big data shuffling away from being fully mappable as they touch named real people. So as this guy spends BTC, he's leaving footprints, narrowing the search space by connecting himself to things and to people. That metadata is very likely to be what outs him.

The initial deployment of the Phantom was a disaster. It wasn't maneuverable enough, and the lack of cannons made it almost useless in the fight. The "future" of missiles-only combat had to be rethought, and gun pods mounted to make the F-4 useful.
Clojure gets great performance with its immutable data structures, but no one pretends they're as fast as plain native java arrays or using mutation. It's normal in the Clojure community to drop down to using arrays or transients (http://clojure.org/transients) in high performance functions and then convert the result back to an immutable data structure. As long as you still present a pure interface, no one knows or cares what kind of mutation you do internally.
I can definitely relate to the workaholism issue.

I am really only interested in the Sims (I've never played any of them and am at least interested) which doesn't activate on Steam. It seems like you'd need to download Origin to get the game, which I am unwilling to do.

I wouldn't mind having Mirror's Edge but I loved the game so much that I burned myself out on the demo on PS3. I really love Burnout Paradise but already have it for PS3 (and am unlikely to put anymore time into it from scratch).
" alcoholism is often linked to highly driven, ambitious, over-achieving personality types." gives me a reason to worry.
