the dimensions above 3+1 (space + time) are not part of spacetime proper

This depends on how "spacetime" is defined, which, as far as I can tell, depends on who is doing the defining. I've seen some papers where the word "spacetime" is applied to the full 10- or 11-dimensional manifold on which string theory (more precisely, superstring theory) is done; I've seen others which carefully use "spacetime" only to apply to the 3+1 manifold we actually observe, and use other terms like "internal symmetries" to describe the other dimensions.

That said, I think there is a more fundamental issue with a model which says there is only one electron and it moves in a twisty path through all 10 or 11 dimensions instead of just 4. (I see you actually had in mind a model with the twisty path not including the time dimension; that won't work either, see below.) Such a model could be constructed, but in order to compare it with experiment, it would have to make predictions involving only the 4 dimensions (3 space + 1 time) that we actually observe. In other words, whatever is happening in the other dimensions would have to boil down to determining the numbers or coefficients that appear in the ordinary 3+1 dimensions, things like the mass and charge of the electron; we have no way to actually observe "movement" in the other dimensions, and we certainly do observe electrons moving in the 3+1 dimensions, so the only predictions we can test are predictions about movement in the 3+1 dimensions, and other things like the mass and charge of the electron that we can measure in 3+1 dimensions.

In other words: any model that says "there is only one electron" has to include that one electron following a twisty path in the 3+1 dimensions we observe, regardless of what it says about the electron's path in other dimensions. And whatever it says about the electron's path in other dimensions can't be tested experimentally anyway, except if it makes predictions about numbers like the mass and charge of the electron that we can measure.

My argument is based on the twisty path moving through n dimensions (including the first 3) and not necessarily through the +1 of time.

Time has to be included, because we observe electrons at different times. A twisty path that didn't move through the time dimension would predict that we would only observe electrons at one single instant, and then they would all vanish (because the single electron underlying all those observations doesn't move through the time dimension).

I'm not seeing how a sperical radius can come about from a slice along a path

Remember that the "slice" is 3-dimensional. When you are imagining a circular slice, you're imagining a 2-dimensional slice. The 3-dimensional analogue of that is a spherical slice; in other words, the intersection of a 3-dimensional slice out of spacetime with the twisty tube that is the electron is a sphere.

I have learned and used both within the last few months with the most up to date versions of both and I settled on Angular for our CRUD business applications.

Angular is more mature, well thought out, better supported, much better documented, is logically consistent throughout, supports the concepts of MVC properly (unit testing is a breeze), much easier to use with REST backends I could go on and on.

There simply is no comparison.

Ember, even after the major changes recently, feels like someone's idea of how MVC should be done without consulting any existing standards or ideas about MVC or REST or any related technology and just throwing in things without thinking them through.

Angular feels far more trustworthy and serious to me than Ember by many orders of magnitude.

Neither though are even close the level of documentation and support and widespread relevant reference apps as I was used to in the .net world (for example), but Angular is the more solid choice in my opinion.

I would recommend Angular over Ember at this point in time unreservedly for making actual applications versus websites.
For the most part, though, errors must be subtle and small to escape notice for very long. If, for instance, Device A kills everyone who uses it in five minutes, this will not go undiscovered for long. Unfortunately, we can not remove the chance of that happening.

Though if I were standardizing this software, I would seriously consider mandating that devices MUST NOT (in the RFC vernacular) have real-time human-calendar clocks on board them. Some sort of calendar-based errors could indeed be highly correlated and impossible to respond to quickly, and if the device simply doesn't have it it can't crash because of it.

(I'd also like to mandate buffer-safe languages that aren't C.)

((Also, I'd like a pony.))
Would be nice to be able to sort popularity by social network. I'm more likely to be interested in Twitter links than Facebook links (going by what I consume in each platform)
> What this ends up requiring is that the plaintiff state specific factual allegations as to what the defendant is actually doing wrong.

I'm not a lawyer but in the case of patent infringement I expect the plaintiff to be able to show said infringement. It is a technical matter that can be deduced from the product by studying its functionality. The defendant practically cannot hide infringement.
Unfortunately that behavior pattern is exactly one that abusive users exhibit as well: innocuous review, long delay, glowing review of "target" business.
Be warned: many people, especially engineers, are inexperienced and/or poor interviewers. So quality candidates who are savvy enough to look at the interview as a two-way street might very well rule you out as an employer if you're not thoughtful and strategic about who you put in front of them.
These fail to address the actual problem--poor standards for issuing patents. Fix things on the issuing side, and all the patent troll problems go away.

These random attempts to fix things on the enforcement side of things tend to seriously harm the ability of small inventors to bring legitimate infringement suits against large infringers.
I am not a doctor. It is explained that each patient they had, added to the total population of patients that might sue them. I don't know if there is a statute of limitations on malpractice to mitigate that pool.

He didn't mention other frameworks - but how JS doesn't give you two-way bindings. Which it doesn't. Your second point is about Handlebars, which isn't even mentioned in the comment you replied to.
It's posts like yours that caused me to originally dismiss Angular out of hand and waste time with other frameworks until I came back around and took a better look at it.

Please reconsider whatever it is you think you're doing, it's seriously not helping anyone.
Well I agree with a lot of what you said there, almost all of it in fact. I do think we have problems and I do hate the apathy also. I am very critical of government and when I see others ignoring issues I get incredibly annoyed. Now that you've expounded on it I think I agree. At first I took it as just another guy bashing the US, which these days is an easy target. But I was wrong.

> it required me to observe a less technical person doing so.

That's a really fantastic observation. I suspect that lots of these changes are meant for those kinds of people (who happen to make up the majority of the world) and not for tech folks at all.

But yeah, I notice that if I ask a question, quite often the results I get are on question asking sites like Stack Overflow -- it turns out I usually get very good results that way too ;)
As you say - once you know what's going on it's not that magical at all. It literally looks at the text source for you function definition and injects the arguments you ask for. Certainly, when I first looked at it I felt the docs didn't explain that little nugget so you sort of wonder how your arguments are injected. More of a doc problem than an obfuscation issue, I think.
Obviously, I had such stories where I had spent many hours doing what I wanted in a manner I wanted it to do. For example, I had problems with content transclusion and had to dig relatively deep into the source code to figure why I'm not getting what I believe I should. Software without bugs is nearly non-existent, and Angular is still not very mature in some aspects.

But in overall, Angular is very easy - after you spend a day or two toying around, groking the terminology and core concepts. Way easier (in my opinion) than, say, Sproutcore (which I found too complicated to my tastes to invest time learning).
I use this tool extensively and it's awesome: http://sprightlysoft.com/s3sync/ It has the same name. Check out -TransferThreads parameter for paralel uploads/downloads (see Documentation link). I use it for syncing dozens of buckets each containing tens of thousands of small files and it works without a glitch.
I assumed this was about whole brain simulation / emulation. Needless to say, I was disappointed.
Can you expand on your experience with IE8 and Angular?
I think you're getting it wrong. This doesn't make "Heightened Pleading" difficult. The whole idea is to say the defendant is infringing on such and such in their manufacturing process. It seems to me that this is the extent of Heightened Pleading.
My parent suggests two way binding requires manually annotating the DOM, implying that it's an Angular-exclusive feature.

Furthermore, those who don't like annotation aren't writing JavaScript views, they're writing HTML templates and annotating them with some JS, which means the parent offers a false dichotomy.

If you rethink the description/title, you'll probably be inclined rethink the way you write the articles themselves. It makes me wonder if we'll see a change from "good writing" to "quick, digestible nuggets of information served without nuance" that's even more striking than the current content landscape. When Google makes strong decisions like this, it really opens up the playing field to others who have different ideas and may not even need to court advertisers.
That seems like a complete conflict of interest. Do you mean that they require you to have your account managed, for a fee, in order to get matching funds?

IE8 is a second class citizen in Angular and Angular UI, so some things that should work, don't. We've spent a fair amount of time patching it up and trying to get our patches merged into master. Here's a list of things we fixed: https://gist.github.com/olegp/f564ad1a17cadf269d44
I'm stereoblind[1], and had the chance to try out an Oculus Rift a few weeks ago. It's neat, but it's more like a viewmaster or a 3d film than it is "Seeing actual depth." The Rift was pretty cool, even as low-fi as it was. And experiencing simulation sickness, while pretty unpleasant, was also kind of wild. (Stick to simulations that put you in vehicles - avoid Half-Life 2)

Here comes the footnote:

[1] I only really discovered that I was stereoblind in 2006 (age 26), with the release of the album "10,000 Days" by Tool, which comes in stereo-optical packaging. Folks online were raving about the three dimensional artwork packaging, but for me, I had trouble seeing it. Whereas it seems people with normal vision can see the depth right away, it took me minutes of staring through the lenses in the packaging to see the depth of the (admittedly cheesy) artwork and photography.

I spent at least an hour going through that, and when I looked away, I had kind of a Wizard of Oz Color Television moment. I could see depth. Like, holy shit, I can see depth. I remember I just stared at a crumpled plastic bag on the floor.

The effect wore off, although sometimes manifested itself in odd places - particularly in an antique mirror we had kicking around. Looking in the mirror, I could see depth again. When I'm looking at vast expanses - a side-of-the-road scenic view off an Arizona highway - I can muster 'depth' again.

I later heard a report on NPR about how in some cases, depth perception can be re-learned, despite contemporary theories that if you don't learn depth perception by age eight (or so), the neural pathways will never form. In the radio program, the doctor exploring this gave his patients a string lined with beads several inches apart. Tie the string next to your bed, attached to the wall, for example. When you are going to or getting up from bed, pick up that string and hold it taught, and focus for x seconds/minutes on each bead.

Or get a copy of 10,000 Days by Tool and stare at it for an hour or two.

It really blew my mind, seeing actual depth in full clarity that first time. Upon further reflection, it made sense to me that my stereoblindness was why I was terrible at a sport like baseball, but not so bad at soccer, and why with first person shooters, I excelled where others instead got motion sickness. I can see with both eyes, but it's like my brain is using a less efficient algorithm to translate the signals into X/Y/Z. With large, far away things, it's easy. With a small object moving quickly in my direction, not so much.

You need to spend the rest of the year pruning and training the canes to be harvester friendly. The harvester itself shakes and beats the berries off.

Quality is questionable, as it will also harvest the unripe secondary clusters and any rot. (There are probably visual systems for cleaning these out.)

Grapes (and a lot of perennial fruits) are a little oddball in this discussion though, because they are very low impact. For example, you rarely (maybe once when first planting) have to till or fertilize or spray for weeds and we've got plenty of biodiversity in the turf.
No, that wasn't implied. He's just saying that's what it's there for in this example.

I really don't think it's accurate at all. Can you qualify it in any way?

For me, Drupal sucks for developers because you're configuring a bunch of objects to try to build a system but you're a) at the mercy of the initial design and b) going to run into hook soup hell, especially once a couple of plugins are installed.

Angular is nothing like that. You have a few classes of things you'll create. They're all well thought our and have very specific uses. None of them constrain you in any way, all the code inside is yours.

I don't get the comparison. I would never touch Drupal again however you would have to produce a very convincing argument to move me off Angular.
Reasoning is sound.

however have you considered charity and socialism (particularly marxism-leninism)?

Tell HN: If you're having trouble with Apple Developer things, Call Them
I realize this may be common sense to some of you, but after going through 2 months of crap with Apple and having all my iOS Dev friends tell me that it just "is how it is", I finally got on the phone with Apple today and let me tell you: it was wonderful. They finished my enrollment in its entirety in about 2 hours, and in fact told me that if I had not called, my issue may have literally never been resolved. Now my app is submitted for approval, and I'm thrilled.

Since I didn't even know this was an option, and it is not prominently displayed as an option, I thought I'd let you guys know.

The number to call is 1-408-974-4897

I've called 3 times today, no more than 5 minutes of wait time and usually only on the phone for 8-10 minutes before having my problems resolved.
You are citing an Orientalist, not a real Islamic source.

I don't know if you can read Arabic: ذهب أبو حنيفة وشيخ الإسلام ابن تيمية، وهو رواية عن أحمد، إلى أن الحر يقتل بالعبد؛ لعموم قوله عليه الصلاة والسلام: «المؤمنون تتكافأ دماؤهم، ويسعى بذمتهم أدناهم» وهذا القول هو الصواب.

And from another source:

: القول الراجح أنه يقتل به؛ لقوله تعالى: وَكَتَبْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ فِيهَا أَنَّ النَّفْسَ بِالنَّفْسِ وَالْعَيْنَ بِالْعَيْنِ [المائدة:45]، وقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: (لا يحل دم امرئ مسلم إلا بإحدى ثلاثة: النفس بالنفس) وقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: (المؤمنون تتكافأ دماؤهم ويسعى بذمتهم أدناهم) وقول النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: (لا فضل لعربي على عجمي إلا بالتقوى) وقول الله تعالى: إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ [الحجرات:13] فهذه العمومات تدل على أن الحر يقتل بالعبد كما أن العبد يقتل بالحر، وليس هناك نصوص صحيحة تدل على أن الحر لا يقتل بالعبد.

Both of which mention that a free man can be killed for a slave.

Furthermore, I don't know why you are raising the issue of slavery. It is not related to the thread topic. The workers in the Gulf countries are not slaves in the actual sense of the word - it has very particular connotations.

That being said, I agree that the way those countries treat the laborers is inhumane, disgusting, and anti-Islamic, and should be abolished.

One of the central costs of a round trip to Mars is the fuel for the return flight. With enough water at Mars we can manufacture all the methane/oxygen rocket fuel we need on site.

The Mars Direct mission architecture and the NASA Johnson Space Center's Design Reference Mission derived from Mars Direct both assume we send hydrogen from Earth to manufacture rocket fuel for the return trip at Mars, combining it with atmospheric carbon dioxide into methane and oxygen, and saving 95% of the mass of the fuel versus bringing it all from Earth. They are estimated at $20-30 billion and $50 billion respectively (spread over ten to twenty years), compared with the earlier $450 billion price tag of the Space Exploration Initiative announced by President Bush 1, which was based on bringing all our fuel for the round trip with us from Earth. Not even having to send hydrogen from Earth would cut the cost further.

Methane/oxygen rockets have been rare outside of Russia, but Pratt & Whitney demonstrated a working model of a modded RL10 rocket engine running on methane/oxygen.

More to the point in the context of Mars missions, SpaceX is switching to methane/oxygen for their new Raptor engine.
The big problem with a general "loser pays" system for the US is that we use private civil suits for many things that much of the rest of the world uses government intervention for.

For instance, much of our civil rights enforcement comes about through private civil suits for employment or housing discrimination. We use malpractice lawsuits as a major part of dealing with bad doctors. We use consumers suing over bad products as a significant part of keeping consumer goods safe.

Your suggestion that the loser pays the lesser of what the two sides paid their lawyer is interesting, because it would not discourage lawsuits as much as a general "loser pays winner's costs" system, which is what is usually posed. Effectively, in the common case of a small party suing a big party, your proposal would double the plaintiff's cost if he lost. That would probably be a small enough risk that it wouldn't stop, say, a person who thinks they have been discriminated against in housing from suing--it would just mean he'd go with a less expensive lawyer than he might otherwise have used.
While reading this article, keep just one thing in mind: think back to every "teenagers these days" article you saw back in your teens, and how closely it actually reflected your own experience as a teenager.
Incorrect. I was saying that the joke example presented didn't in anyway show the difference in power that Angular gives you over raw js - nothing at all about Angular exclusivity.
I guess we just read it differently, then.

Barely ever, especially if you use JS as a functional language. I've seen most people setup the testing suite, but dealing with async is far too fiddly right now and thus tests/ is mostly boilerplate.

Not that you shouldn't be testing your JS, but that the tooling gets in the way of shipping code.
Well damn. Thanks for the review. I guess I expected it to Just Work. Glad I never wasted the money on it.
