We already know the answer. There were several close calls during the Cold War, and while the powers involved always chose to respond (they had to, it was doctrine at the time), they always chose to respond cautiously. Both sides wanted to avoid a "hot" war at almost any cost. For an example of how bad things could get with both sides still responding cautiously, read about Able Archer[1].

A first strike in the cold war was expected to be all out -- many, many missiles at once in an attempt to disable the enemy before he could respond. One explosion, in the middle of nowhere, is not a sensible first strike. I'd think "accident" would be the top hypothesis, even if "What are we dealing with?" was definitely a burning question.

There were plenty of times when a much more credible first strike came up. Computer glitches that made it look like dozens of missiles were already in the air. Large exercises that looked legitimately like immediate attacks. Those were scary crises, but they were navigated with caution and skill. A lone explosion in the middle of nowhere wouldn't even rate as a close call, I don't think.

No wonder Carl Sagan loved to smoke weed; you need a little bit of that chronic to appreciate the article. So what they're saying is that, if we forget time and talk only of spatial dimensions, that in the 4th dimension, where our 3D world is essentially a flat "membrane", that a 4D black hole in this 4D world collapsed, and a 3D ripple is created (in the 4D world), and the world we we know is this membrane on top of this 3D ripple that is uniformly expanding with uniform temperature. I wonder if dimensions are additive, ie a 4D object in the 4D world is an 8D object?
"Completely" is not true, but maybe completeness isn't the important/essential advantage of verticals.

>Protecting doctors from frivolous lawsuits is fantastic in theory,

In principle, we want everyone to be protected from frivolous lawsuits. The $250k limit for all practical purposes protects doctors from nearly everyone's lawsuit, frivolous or not. The absence of normal market forces in medical practice makes it even more important to have competent and strong oversight. We get none of that in Texas. Hey, at least malpractice insurance is cheap! (I wonder if it really is.)

OTOH, there are now very few reasons not to travel to another country for major health care, like surgery. Something bad may still happen, but you aren't likely to pay as much for it, and you might even be treated more fairly if it does.
Most prior Apple designs have been close to stock ARM core implementations coupled with a PowerVR GPU. There hasn't been much if anything to steal, given that Samsung also licenses PowerVR GPUs and is also an ARM licensee.

The A7 is interesting in that it's the first mainstream 64-bit part, but I see Samsung being far more interested in the A53/A57 (designs that Samsung gets straight from ARM) than the A7. The A7, if rumors are true, is a sort of hybrid approach to use one of the next generation, 64-bit ARM cores early, similar to what Qualcomm does.

EDIT: ARM nomenclature is such a mess. The A7 runs ARMv7 or ARMv8 using a sort-of A57 dual-core architecture, but should not be confused with the ARMv7 Cortex-A7.
Considering the border search exception dates back to legislation by the First Congress in 1789, I don't think they'd have much of a problem with the current interpretation.
> When you invent something really useful that's never existed before... don't you deserve something awesome in return?

This probably feels like the ethically correct outcome when you've invented something interesting, however it runs counter to free market economics. Being first can provide a competitive edge but it isn't the only factor.
Maybe Apple leveraged some advantageous deal with them in exchange for not suing them anymore
I tend to think that the notion of borders and jurisdictions were much more important and understood in the past than today.

Easy air travel and mass communication of all forms has blurred our sense of national/jurisdictional borders, but they certainly still exist.

Crossing an international border is something significant, you are leaving behind one social contract and entering into a different one.
Never used Jersey so cannot comment on ease of use at the code level. It may be similar, but it'll likely not have other nice features that Play has that sets it apart from other Java Frameworks.

I was comparing against any Java Framework that depends on J2EE and JSP though as that comes with an excessive amount of baggage that's really hard to get rid of totally (like excessive use of XML tooling/configuration). If one's reason for never touching Java on the web is because of the XML nightmare it generally brings, then Play is the framework one has been searching for. There's no use of XML anywhere that is required and templating/views are similar to what one would do in any scripting language since they're really Scala (Lift) templates and not kludgy JSP that reminds me of ColdFusion.

Also, being built on Scala shapes Play 2.0 in ways that other Java Frameworks are not by design, since Scala is generally against excessive verbosity and it's a Java habit that dies hard for some even when trying to avoid it.

I'll admit I'm biased against excessive XML tooling and configuration, since I come from a PHP & Python background in web development, but I dislike all that boilerplate. I realize it's sort of a common part of almost everything Java, but it's also why I stay away from Java on the web as much as possible.

Edit: Jersey does make use of JSP[1] (Java Server Pages). Some may not find that to be bad thing if they're used to it from prior experience, but I would avoid it personally. If coming from a dynamic programming background on the web (Node.js, PHP, Python, Ruby, etc), JSP is not a fun time.

So he means something like what a surge protector blocks?

I suppose they could have neglected to put a fuse in the circuit which should have protected it against a surge that would damage some very expensive equipment (not to mention cause nuclear detonation.) But I don't know. I wasn't there to see and I didn't read the report. And we all know fuses fail as well - would that be the fourth out of five failsafes?

To answer your question, no - I honestly would not feel safe. But "dramatically close" is different altogether. When I think "dramatically close" I think about the time my kid ran into the street and I grabbed him from in front of a car... I needed to act urgently to avoid disaster.

I could be wrong though (and often am.)
I was confused by this as well. I don't think every page needs to have the product description and mission statement at the top, but I should at least be able to click on a logo to find out more.

As is, I actually had to type in "ghost.org" manually into the URL bar because they don't have a link from their blog to their website.
What I never understood is why they embrace rendering templates at the server. Is it simply a matter of "because we can and it's nice for the people that want to use it", or is there a real real reason why pushing raw HTML via AJAX request is better?

I always thought the status quo in the web development world was to use a framework like Backbone.JS to communicate with your backend and use a client-side template engine to render the templates.
The argument you heard is correct. The casings are likely made of something that is completely unaffected by saltwater, the pressures involved are neither astounding nor even interesting in this context, and... marine organisms? Which ones? Harsher than a botched re-entry?
IMO since OSSv4 was proprietary for a while, the kernel folks invested most of their efforts developing ALSA, so by the time OSSv4 opened up and became a viable choice, ALSA had much better sound card driver support.

Another big issue is that OSS doesn't support MIDI or USB sound card input, which is a pretty huge functionality gap for people who are using those features.
I agree with the above. As a Java and Scala programmer I've tried both and Play! 2 Scala is a joy to use if you're fond of idiomatic Scala and functional programmming.

I use Eclipse with the Scala IDE plugin and although I write all of my code in Scala, I do have a couple of dependencies to Java libraries (the interop works perfectly, but of course you should be careful when mixing immutable code with potential sources of mutability). The Intellij plugin is probably still the more stable of the two, but as mentioned by yareally the Scala IDE is the officially maintained one so you can expect new features to come to Eclipse before Intellij.
Which part is hard for you to understand? That Apple has patents that are applicable irrespective of the underlying hardware?
That's probably true.
Uh, what exactly is shocking about this? The government has the right to know the precise identity of each and every person that's crossing its borders.

That is the question. Personally, I'd argue that Twitter and Google+ are informative, but there are significant differences to be sure. I haven't been much involved in Google+ communities, I wonder if 'Not Mine' pressure is higher there than it is outside on Google+.
Since when is covering your face a religious issue?

My wife is Muslim (and black), she doesn't cover her face, nor does any of her family, most of whom have been to Hajj and are quite religious. My wife's face wasn't covered when we were married by a Sunni Imam in a Muslim ceremony.

So is requiring someone's face to be visible a religious issue? A racism issue? What is it? How about tucking in a chain? Does that infringe on someone's religious beliefs?

No one "felt like" going to war during the Cold War. Avoiding war was the top priority in everyone's mind. And I mean everyone -- leadership, public, on both sides.

That's why it was a cold war. If anyone on either side had wanted a hot one, they could have started it easily a dozen times over.
Say you sell lumber, and I sell furniture, and buy a lot of my raw materials from you. You start making furniture too, and your furniture seems a little too inspired by mine, maybe going over the line of what's legal, so I sue you. However, your lumber is still top quality despite that, so I keep buying your lumber even while suing you over your furniture.
Good point. The military should know where their own planes are, too.

I'm not sure that same == fair.

If a worker is going to work remotely, is it a better evaluation of her skill to have her do her coding test remotely or have her do it in the office? Likewise, is it fair to ask a potential remote worker to take on an endeavor that's much more cumbersome than it would be for an in-office worker.

The other part of the argument is that the hiring company may be affecting its ability to evaluate a candidate by subjecting him to a situation that's pretty different from the job's reality. Ostensibly, the point of having someone work out of the office is to see how well he'll do if he gets the job, but in the case of a remote worker, this may not be a good indicator.

I think all of this is highly debatable, and there's probably no right answer, but there is lots of food for thought!
I propose Gnu Zealand.
First off both of what the sibling posters said is true.

1. Israel makes big claims of being an advanced democracy, unlike the Saudi monarchy

2. I wasn't singling Israel in particular. I wouldn't visit Saudi Arabia for the exact same reasons.

But there is another point where your parallel breaks, there is no way to get to Palestine without going through Israel, so if you are a social worker involved with the welfare issues in West Bank or Gaza, or even a Christian pilgrim trying to go to Betlehem, you have no choice but to submit to the ordeal.
Whoops, you're right. I didn't consider that the poster went to a private school, in which case all bets are off.
It's optional; nothing forces you to use them vs doing the AJAX du jour.

Play templates are particularly speedy though, they get compiled into JVM bytecode. I actually prefer doing things that way and keeping markup and JS to a minimum. It 'feels' faster and more robust to me.
Market microstructure is such a massively complicated topic that few insiders, much less the SEC, thoroughly understand it.

For instance, after NASDAQ went down for 3 hours on August 22, the SEC asked the NYSE and NASDAQ for a detailed timeline of events. Each exchange blamed the other. The SEC's response? It told the exchanges to cooperate and please fix the problem, declining to make any further public comment [1].

Trading at high speeds is like the wild west right now with little to no threat of law enforcement.

Yes, when you are working with a company and sharing trade secrets only to have them turn around and take those secrets to make their own devices that compete directly with yours and then they make commercials making fun of said products and your customers, that doesn't really help the business relationship.
We use the templates to render email messages on the server primarily.

Note that Play doesn't force you to use the templates, you can plug in your own very easily or forgo them entirely and just push JSON out for client-side rendering.

We use that for monitoring our backend Akka cluster: Play streams JSON using server-sent events to the client for rendering Mustache.js templates.

I don't know the exact motivation for including compiled templates (we love them) but in practice Play is perfectly happy either way.

Gigantic multinational megaconglomerates are, well, huge. They may operate under the same overall banner, but operationally they tend to be almost fully independent entities. Many are legally distinct corporations with their own finances, budgets, and operations.

>It's recommended to have a fail-safe, but switches don't spontaneously turn on at even 1 in a billion and most people don't write breathless articles about the one time they were only one switch away from death 50 years ago

With the difference that law-mowers usually aren't dropped from 10,000 feet to the ground in airplane accidents.

And, when I'm not in my "let's cheerlead for engineering / throw-all caution-to-the-wind cavalier attitude", I wouldn't really guarantee that they'd stay turned off if that happened.

There's also the little known fact that lawn mowers usually don't even have the potential to kill 3 million people in an instant.

So, I'd rather go with the opinion of the expert who prepared the accident report and who was actually "a senior engineer in the Sandia national laboratories responsible for the mechanical safety of nuclear weapons".

As for the accuracy of the cheerleading: I've had fickle switches turn on on me. Much more frequently than one in a thousand even. Try some low cost electric products and you'd be surprised (nay, shocked).

If you're writing OO javascript, you often want to use "this" to refer to your object, but various things in js and especially jquery can change the meaning/scoping of "this". So for example, if you have:

var myObj = {
foo: 'bar',
baz: function() {
console.log(this.foo); //would give you 'bar', as expected

//but if you have some code that changes the meaning of this, for example:
$('.button').click(function() {
console.log(this.foo); //undefined, since now "this" refers to the scope of the event's callback function
});

//but if you use bind:
$('.button').click((function() {
//now "this" is scoped to refer to the main object
console.log(this.foo); //gives you 'bar'
}).bind(this));
}
}
The RSA CTO's answers are hilarious. He can't really be that clueless as the CTO of a security firm, can he?

That would be incredibly embarrassing in itself (which it already is), but the alternative is even worse (choosing the one with the backdoor on purpose).
I wasn't insinuating anything. I said nothing more, or less, than what I said. Any insinuation or implication otherwise is of your own making, and is quite disingenuous I would add.

I live in Canada, so I'm on the border with the US, and while I have certainly travelled worldwide (including to some less than democratic countries), I have overwhelmingly travelled to the US, both for business and personal.

And over the last while, I have become increasingly uncomfortable crossing the border into the US, as compared to how it used to be, based on hearing more and more stories of detention and unreasonable search (both in the media and personal accounts from people I know). I have personally experienced at the very least a new level of hostility and aggressive questioning on a few occasions that I had not experienced before.

So certainly there are other countries where this type of treatment is possible at the border, but I am expressing dismay at the fact that the US is now "one of those" countries, when it didn't used to be.

And yes, "unreasonable" is in the eye of the beholder, but they're my eyes thank you very much, so I may eventually just opt out of visiting the US for any reason.
Although something akin to this should occur, I think your post understates the computational enormity of the issue. Many diseases are not caused by single genes or single environmental conditions, but interactions between dozens of genes and the environment, even epigenetic factors. Big Data (huge data) approaches will begin to chip away at the mountain, but even with Google's super powers, it's a ways off.

> (1) would improve therapies across the board for all major diseases at once

How? Unless if by "at once" you mean they would begin the era of using this approach on any disease. But surely each disease will have its own puzzle.

That sort of cynicism is probably the chief enabler of such corruption. As with any other human endeavor, government will never be perfect, but that isn't a reason to give up on holding government to high standards.

It is reasonable to take precautionary steps in your personal life while at the very same time demanding that the government behave such that those steps are completely unnecessary.
Poor people want to have kids just like most of the rest of us. The idea that only people with means have the right to have kids goes beyond unreasonable and is actually inhumane.

And women often make decisions without realizing that the men in their lives are going to run away from responsibility, get arrested, develop a drinking or drug problem, crumble under the stress of trying to raise a family, or any number of other things. So they end up getting stuck with the necessity of raising their kids on their own in poverty.

Except in the case of medical problems and disabilities, poor two-parent families are typically the working poor, and they tend to have houses and such, and work multiple jobs if those jobs are available, since the jobs available to the working poor typically cap out at 30-35 hours a week with no benefits. And if they're not working, it's generally because they, just like middle class families, made decisions when they expected there would be jobs, and lost those jobs.
Right, anyway the point being that cloud-hosting the spreadsheets resolves the biggest problem with Excel, which is version control, but it introduces a new problem, which is data security on servers that you don't control.
