Looks like the other bomb disintegrated on impact.

From Wikipedia:

The second bomb plunged into a muddy field at around 700 miles per hour (310 m/s) and disintegrated. The tail was discovered about 20 feet (6.1 m) below ground. Parts of the bomb were recovered, including its tritium bottle and the plutonium. However, excavation was abandoned as a result of uncontrollable ground-water flooding. Most of the thermonuclear stage, containing uranium, was left in situ. The Army Corps of Engineers purchased a 400 feet (120 m) circular easement over the buried component. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill determined the buried depth of the secondary component to be 180 feet (55 m), plus or minus 10 feet (3.0 m).
Wouldn't it be:

let x = (...args) => { /* some function gunk */ };

So I wonder if this is allowed:

let x = ...args => args.join(',')

I doubt any of these articles make or break an application. They're just good publicity, for both YC (for appearing difficult to get in) and the author(s).

I would be highly skeptical that the President would have told the American people "Oops, our bad. That was just an accident". It's very likely that the government would have blamed the attack on someone other than the U.S. even with the evidence in their hands that it was an accident. Seriously, can you imagine a U.S. President admitting to the public that the military just 'accidently' killed millions of people?
What the article neglects to mention is that after months of searching, they never found the bomb. It's still somewhere under the silt near Tybee island, biding its time.
"A stable matching algorithm" is the real trick here.

Easy. Assume all orders are limit orders, because non-limit orders don't need to exist. Perform the Gale-Shapely stable marriage algorithm http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/academic/class/15251-f1... Where the preference ordering of each person is assumed to be the order that maximizes their return. (The difference in the limit order prices.)

The actual situation is much simpler since all players have the same preference ordering, but this is just to show that it's easy to find one stable pairing.

Would you be willing to let us take a peek at that code? It could be interesting to compare and contrast to what Lua offers.
I'm not sure I follow what you're saying, so let me briefly restate my thesis:

Schools spend a lot of money on athletic programs because school boards approve budgets that allocate those funds. The school boards do this because the voters who elect school board members like athletic programs. Further, those same voters and parents often contribute funds for athletics above and beyond those being contributed by the taxpayer.

Voters want school athletics, voters get school athletics. The degree of "freedom" that students enjoy within the school athletic system wasn't what I meant by "democratic".

Having seen all the coffeescript pushback here already I'm not surprised at the pushback here now. The truth is, it takes maybe a day to get really comfortable with using the fat arrow, and after that you wonder why it was any other way before.

Sometimes I wonder if a lot of the anti-coffeescript people in this forum are simply Javascript native programmers and don't want any change period. I can't think of many programming languages that stop changing - seems to be the norm.

Such articles can be good. It depends on their focus. It wouldn't be good if people wrote articles talking about how to trick us. But if they tell applicants how to avoid mistakes that will make it harder for us to appreciate them, that's great.

Any time synchronization protocol I know of takes into account network latency and attempts to compensate. As measured by perfectly synchronized clocks against the same reference source (leaving aside for the moment that there is no such thing), the received timestamps of a message originating from one location and being received by two locations at different lengths of cable from another will reflect the difference in the time it took to get from one to the other.

Gold iPhone 5S No Longer Available Until October
This approach reminded me quite a bit of what Mojo::DOM and Mojo::DOM:CSS modules give you, and the ojo command line tool for perl (called as perl -Mojo).

Here's section 5 from that article rewritten:

perl -MList::MoreUtils=zip -Mojo -E 'say g("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_territori... > tr:not(:first-child)")->pluck(sub{ j { country=>$_->find("td")->[1]->text, border=>$_->find("td")->[2]->text, surface=>$_->find("td")->[3]->text, ratio=>$_->find("td")->[4]->text } })' | head

{"ratio":"7.2727273","surface":"0.44","country":"Vatican City","border":"3.2"}
{"ratio":"2.2000000","surface":"2","country":"Monaco","border":"4.4"}
{"ratio":"0.6393443","surface":"61","country":"San Marino","border":"39"}
{"ratio":"0.4750000","surface":"160","country":"Liechtenstein","border":"76"}
{"ratio":"0.3000000","surface":"34","country":"Sint Maarten (Netherlands)","border":"10.2"}
{"ratio":"0.2570513","surface":"468","country":"Andorra","border":"120.3"}
{"ratio":"0.2000000","surface":"6","country":"Gibraltar (United Kingdom)","border":"1.2"}
{"ratio":"0.1888889","surface":"54","country":"Saint Martin (France)","border":"10.2"}
{"ratio":"0.1388244","surface":"2586","country":"Luxembourg","border":"359"}
{"ratio":"0.0749196","surface":"6220","country":"Palestinian territories","border":"466"}

And here's the original command:

curl -s 'http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_and_territori... | scrape -be 'table.wikitable > tr:not(:first-child)' | xml2json | jq -c '.html.body.tr[] | {country: .td[1][], border: .td[2][], surface: .td[3][], ratio: .td[4][]}' | head

Fairly comparable, but there's a whole world of Perl modules for me to pull in and use with the first one.
I am also specifically interested in what techniques they they are using to determine the levels of change -

that's my point. as someone who had no idea of this, i would think that the author was a raving lunatic or something. at the very least put the thing in quotes and have a citation at the end.
This is not even wrong. Trade matching is a) not a stable marriage problem and b) the return is unknowable.

With Play 2.0 in Java, there's more verbosity (though nothing like any J2EE framework) in using Java and lack of syntactical sugar features as well as functional programming features (which are widely used in parts like JSON for Play). Also, you don't get the benefits of such things as optional parameters in Java.

Don't get me wrong, the Java version of it is going to be better than any other Java web framework you ever encountered most likely (especially if everything else one tried was based in part on J2EE/JSP since Play has none of those and no XML bs config). However, you do lose some of the Scala niceties when going that route. You still can still call to Scala bits of the API in Java and templates themselves are all Scala (Lift templates), but it's still not quite the same.

If using something like Intellij, you can still mix and match bits of Scala and Java in the same project (but not within the same class file) without too much trouble. Not sure how the official Scala IDE that TypeSafe maintains handles that offhand.

For people without kids or other family responsibilities who can't even be bothered to show up for free, government-funded work-training?

That doesn't sound like being forced to live on $1/day to me. Yes, of course I can voluntarily not accept the money and goods being offered to me, but that's not really the point.
This pattern is incredibly useful, once I had it available I started seeing it constantly. Particularly for binding functions to events while retaining context -- very common in JavaScript.

Knowing the value of `this` at the beginning of a function makes for much more readable code. Fat arrow and all the other ES6 features available in CoffeeScript and Traceur are now too valuable to live without imho.
I was working as an enumerator for the U.S. Census in the year 2000 and one of the people on my team realized that for 2 hours worth of pay she could buy office supplies that would save us all (and the government) 60 hours worth of work.

She was stressed because there wasn't any official channel for us to buy office supplies other than the stuff they sent us.

I told her to buy the office supplies and say that she worked another 2 hours; this was breaking the rules but this did not strike me as at all unethical.

Now, not long after the 2008 crunch I was getting pissed about how long builds took on my cheap laptop (on which I was running both the client and server sides of a complex app).

Getting a better machine from management was out of the question, but I liked other aspects of the job, and 2009 wasn't the best time to go job seeking. So I bought myself a top end desktop computer and three inexpensive monitors.

When I left that company they wanted to buy the machine off me so as to keep all the proprietary code and data on it, but as things worked out, the value of my own proprietary code and data on that machine was worth a lot to me so I kept it, and fortunately things never went to court.

This type of decision has risks (for instance, you don't want to be the guy who loses a machine with social security numbers on it and forces his employer to pay for credit monitoring for 70,000 people) but it can be the right thing to do sometimes.
> and it was only that final, highly vulnerable switch that averted calamity

What does "highly vulnerable" even mean? Could it have been triggered by the wind? If I'm the guy at the control panel, am I accidentally hitting that switch a couple of times per week? Maybe the only way that switch gets triggered is if I black out from the stress and my nose hits it on my way to the floor.

I get the significance of three/four barriers failing, but if the fourth one has a one-in-a-billion chance, is it really fair to say North Carolina was "dramatically close" to being nuked?

Hmmm, they ask for your email address, but there is no privacy policy on the site. What are they going to do with your email address? Use it, spam it, sell it to others?

Also, no loop-back check on email. What's to stop you signing up a dozen other people to this free service? It would be polite to bounce a "confirmation" email back first before sending.

+1 on the earlier comment about samples, and indication of notification format.
You have missed the point. It is not that the government has access to your itinerary, it is that low-level government officials (apparently) have access to your itinerary with no administrative oversight whatsoever. The NSA at least puts on a show of getting FISA court approval. But DHS isn't even going through the motions.

The key passage from the article:

"The implication is that rather than search its own ATS database of copies of PNR data, the ICE investigator searched the airline’s own internal PNR database, using the DHS root access to the Sabre computerized reservation system (CRS) used by American Airlines. That was probably easier than searching ATS because the way DHS “ingests” PNR data from CRSs into ATS leaves the data less well indexed in TECS and ATS than it was (and still is — the airline sends DHS a copy, but of course retains the PNR data itself) in the CRS.

Notably, there’s nothing to indicate that the ICE investigator needed approval from a supervisor to go into Sabre, or tried some other source of PNR information (e.g. the internal ATS database of DHS copies of PNR data) first. Root access to Sabre was apparently at his fingertips, and his use of it warranted no special comment and no recording of compliance with any authorization protocols. It was a routine tool for him."
Actually all the transactions were in cash, he paid me in cash and i refund ALL in cash too. His idea was just about how the webpage layout should be, very standard layout, nothing more than that, and some ideas were just "borrowed" from some other websites. Thanks a lot for the replied.
That's specifically not what the article fails to mention, because it states where both of the bombs were found.

You're just thinking of a different narrowly avoided nuclear catastrophe.

What Google's Calico Anti-aging initiative will actually do
The biggest missing piece in curing most diseases IMHO is that we do not yet have any good computational model for a cell. If we had a way to simulate an individual cell for a specific person in a computer program (which is a hard problem) we could actually cure cancers pretty easily (by testing millions of pharmaceutical compounds on the spot against each person's cancer cell model) and also make great strides into all other human diseases.

Only a very few scientists have worked in the field of whole cell simulation so far (see http://goo.gl/heurd for one effort) and this problem is a PERFECT application for Google's big data expertise.

Here's what I'm guessing Calico will do:

1. Fund scientists who work on technologies that can detect various chemical concentrations of cells in vivo.

2. Build a multi-petabyte database of chemical concentration timelines generated in this way, which are run against human cell cultures experiencing varying environmental conditions.

3. Run complex big data statistical algorithms to determine quantitative measures of causation between all these chemicals and with DNA sequences in the cell.

4. Use this information to build an accurate computational model of a human cell.

This is an area of research that (1) would improve therapies across the board for all major diseases at once (2) has few short-term financial incentives, meaning only a huge research initiative could attempt it, and (3) requires significant big data expertise.

Thoughts?

If you're on a family plan, the marginal cost could still be cheaper. For my share of it, it's $10/mo plus however much data I choose (I'll stick with the grandfathered unlimited plan for $30).
>most people don't write breathless articles about the one time they were only one switch away from death 50 years ago.

This article isn't about one person one switch away from death, it's about (potentially) millions of people one switch away from death after three of four switches failed.
That was another incident....

"By agreeing to settle the case, the DHS avoided either any new appellate precedent limiting its borders search authority, or any judicial review of the specific basis for its actions with respect to Mr. House. As in other cases, the DHS treated the threat of judicial review of its actions as the ultimate danger to be avoided at all costs, even if that required destroying evidence it had previously claimed was vitally needed."

What a cancerous growth this DHS is.

It might lead to fewer successful lawsuits, but I'm not sure why it would lead to fewer lawsuits.
What bugs me most about Go is that it is already filled with internal inconsistencies, and since it practically demands idiomatic usage, these aren't easily avoided. In C++ one can at least avoid using "bad" parts and patterns.
US was narrowly spared a disaster of monumental
proportions when two Mark 39 hydrogen bombs were
accidentally dropped over Goldsboro, North Carolina
on 23 January 1961

The plane was carrying 2 of those bad boys. But it sounds like the whereabouts of both may have actually been determined.

The bombs fell to earth after a B-52 bomber broke
up in mid-air, and one of the devices behaved
precisely as a nuclear weapon was designed to behave
in warfare: its parachute opened, its trigger mechanisms
engaged, and only one low-voltage switch prevented
untold carnage.

As it went into a tailspin, the hydrogen bombs
it was carrying became separated. One fell into
a field near Faro, North Carolina, its parachute
draped in the branches of a tree; the other plummeted
into a meadow off Big Daddy's Road.

In other words: For 'apps', games etc. this looks really neat. But a website, say a blog..., shouldn't need to show a progress indicator before any content shows up.

Well, that's factually incorrect since the Security Intelligence Review Committee oversees CSIS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Intelligence_Review_Co.... And there have been several hearings to which Richard Fadden has testified in front of MPs.

However, it's worth pointing out that SIRC's credibility is shot with the appointment of people like Arthur Porter.

It's Mac OS X. Plus you shouldn't name it that. Call it Wave or something else.
If the safety mechanisms are failing catastrophically then how will the bomb even detonate? The timing mechanisms have to execute perfectly to get a full power detonation and should be designed to become inert in a catastrophic breakup anyway. If any part of the switching mechanism becomes damaged the bomb should should/could be designed not to be able to detonate without relying on any electrical switches.

I hear you. My mother enforced a minimum GPA for sports participation. I took mostly Honors and AP courses. I had a C midyear on my report card in a math course and my parents told me there would be no more sports until I had only As and Bs.

Yes, some teachers are hired primarily to be coaches. Some, not all of coaches teach gym class. However, my best teacher ever was a guy called Coach K because he and his father coached football for years. Coach K taught AP physics and engineering courses in high school. He was an Army guy and previously worked at McDonald-Douglass. He made learning fun and exciting. Perhaps Coach K is the exception. Student athletes are there to learn first and a teaching coaches' primary job is to teach.
