Jupiter is a special case. Due to orbital resonances with the galilean moons the inner moon of Io experiences extreme tidal heating, which results in extensive vulcanism (Io's surface is the youngest in the solar system because of this). This creates a sulfur dioxide atmosphere around the moon which gets stripped off by Jupiter's strong magnetic field after which it eventually gets turned into plasma and forms the inner radiation belts around Jupiter.

Without those things happening the radiation environment would be far lower. Saturn, for example, has much milder radiation levels.

Also, life tends to evolve to tolerate whatever level of natural radiation background exists. Most, but not all, life from Earth would have trouble with the radiation levels near Jupiter but life that originated on a moon around a gas giant would probably be fine.

If anyone wants an idea for a scifi story posit a technological species arising on a planet that experiences significant levels of background radiation. Such a species would be able to more easily tolerate working with radioactive materials, as would their ecosystem. For example, something like the Chernobyl accident may not even be a serious problem for them, since every organism would be able to tolerate radiation exposure. They might be able to operate fission reactors without much shielding. And they might be able to tolerate the radiation exposure of interplanetary space without needing any special shielding at all.

We can't reasonably assume that Twitter uses this sort of question in all their developer interviews. We don't have enough data for that. Perhaps this guy was going for a role where solving problems quickly and under pressure was a key requirement. If that were the case, this is pretty much a perfect interview question.

In case, you missed it, the moot point in the parent thread as well as my agreement is this: "an offline installer should be a de-facto proviso, rather than being buried somewhere else." In other words, The fundamental issue in this rant of course is, "Why the hell should I do all that? Make it available in the front page!"

For sure, lycos/ddg/ask-jeeves/bing "Firefox offline installer" is an option that is not lost on us luddites :).

But did you also notice the parent comment: "Googling for things like "firefox standalone redistributable offline install" are a road to nowhere"? ;)
It's been pretty much essential. Earth's entire land area used to be wilderness. Now a substantial proportion of it is farmland, without which we wouldn't eat. It's a tool for enabling civilization.

It hasn't really started killing us yet -- the population is expanding. This civilization may and probably will collapse, like the Romans, but I'm not sure exactly how a civilization could grow exponentially forever, so it's kind of inevitable.

>> @zzsleepzz thank you for illustrating my point.

Well, your point is obviously misinformed and doesn't prove anything. Correlation does not imply causation. Read up a bit on history.

Yes, because this is a non-story.

This is not a fair dismissal of the issue. This says that man-in-the-middle attacks that occur on unsecured wifi networks will stay active after you move to a trusted network. And the safeguard of an addressbar showing where content is coming from isn't available when using apps.
You should resend this to Google now it's published, they might think again about fixing it or changing behaviour.

I applied to a couple jobs in the bay area and didn't do well. I had about the same reaction you did.

The result was that I started working really hard on side projects to see if I was really capable of working up there. That was the beginning of last year, and that pattern of work hasn't stopped. I've learned and built a lot.

About phone interviews though, I've been requesting Google Hangout interviews in place of them. And I've been a lot more comfortable I think because of the face-to-face interaction. Something to think about.

I found Word's equation editor (2007 onwards, not the crippled MathType before) very good for real-time typing of math in class. It's quite close to LaTeX when it comes to symbols, smart enough to use / for fractions or convert ² to a superscript 2, etc. and generally requires far fewer braces because spaces or operators are used to separate tokens, e.g. a^15+4 yields 𝑎¹⁵ + 4 because it makes more sense than 𝑎¹ 5 + 4 (what LaTeX would make of it). It also features WYSIWYG build-up of the equation as you type.

15 Ways The United States Is The Best (At Being The Worst)
Android devices switched up to high ram co figs because they had to. A typical Android device runs a ton of stuff in the background such as Facebook uploaders, sync services, location trackers, carrier services, manufacturer UI shells and crapwear, etc you just don't get on iOS devices. To be fair, a lot of these services can do useful stuff and the freedom to run stuff like that is one of the reasons some people like Android, but the result is a much larger overall memory utilisation.

Apples approach to extending background services was to engineer a 'motion coprocessor' to handle one class of background tasks as efficiently as possible. Samsung et al just saw the memory utilisation on their devices go up from the services they're running so they jacked up the installed memory.

The second consideration is battery life. Memory uses battery power all the time, whether that memory is doing anything useful or not. Apple is fanatical about power conservation. You don't get 10 hour battery life as a standard feature on your mobile devices by accident.
This is a good reminder of "everybody spies"

Ask HN: payment gateways/providers that don't require a bank account?

Hacker News was down
I'm getting an untrusted certificate warning... DDoS attack or server issue, anyone knows?
Phew, wasn't just me. Thought someone might have happened to my computer.
same thing here. protected by CloudFlare..blah..
Seems back up now, maybe they were just switching to CloudFlare? I didn't think HN was on CloudFlare before.
Traffic seems to be going through cloudflare. Probably to defend against a DDoS. Hitting the URL directly gave me an untrusted certificate. Going via http://ycombinator.com/ works fine.
CloudFlare just showed me a "Checking whether you are part of a DDoS" message
hahaha, great answer.

Our insurance company sent us a letter explaining that the anesthesiologist was out of network, and sent us a check for $9,500. A month later we received a bill directly from the anesthesiologist for the same amount, and we paid him ourselves. I obviously can't say what happened after he deposited that check, but I am quite certain that he was paid $9,500.

I'm getting SSL warnings from Certificate Patrol, anything to worry about?
You're right. Russia is such an upstanding world citizen, the idea that they would spy on others just beggars belief.
it's been down for a few hours. obviously back up now. :)
If you get the SSL warning on Chrome, you can enter "proceed" and then press enter at the keyboard.

Even if there's no "I understand the risks, let me proceed" button, this will work.
I have to agree that 16GB is not enough (big mistake when I bought my iPad). But 32GB should do just fine.

Otherwise, I have an iPad 3 and played with the iPad 2. The difference in the retina display is enough for me.
If its the same as me, it was nothing to be worried about:

You were getting served the CloudFare certificate, which annoyed Certificate Patrol because your browser because it was trying to access HackerNews.

You were getting served the CloudFare certificate for legitimate reasons from HackerNews.

The error I was getting was an SSL certificate error, so switching to cloudflare also was contributing to HN not being accesible.

As I listened to this story on the radio on my drive home last night I couldn't help thinking that Amazon's review volume is going to increase 10,000%. It's a common tactic; hype up a complete outlier and give people false hope they can follow the same path.
So Hacker News is being 'hacked' by hackers, and clicking 'proceed' past the security warning about insecurity is safe behaviour? ;]

The fact that there are multiple OS's out there means there is a battle going on. Dropbox serves a need that should be being defined by co-existing OS participants. But we see this everywhere in the Application space, so your point is valid, there is just an OS border, and an App border. I think what I'm trying to say is that border moves around a bit, and I'm cranky about that.

This is because each "atom" is of a considerable size to the larger clumps and imparts its excess momentum as angular momentum when it joins a clump. "Atoms" that are rotating around a clump in the opposite direction tend to skip off, and thus don't join and slow the rotation. I think.

cloudflare? really?
>Functionally, it makes little to no difference whether you're writing something that compiles down to JS or writing something that compiles down to its own runtime (assuming you turn source maps on your browser).

It actually makes a big difference. You can't use profiles, debugger, libraries, and other stuff which is platform specific but have to use JavaScript ones. Often, they don't play well with with languages which generate to JS.
When I switched to Cloudflare there was a period where the SSL certificate served by Cloudflare did not yet contain my domain name. It took several minutes for this to be resolved during which my site was pretty much inaccessible. I assume something similar may have happened here.

In the end it all worked out, but I was a bit surprised that Cloudflare does not at least warn you about this when you enable SSL.

I think it's a case of correlation, not causation: a product gets negative reviews if there are people buying it. Essentially, a product without reviews is a product that people aren't buying (hence, not reviewing).

It's kind of like a captcha for browsers. It proves that Javascript is working in the client (a legit browser or sophisticated bot), and it also slows down the traffic. If your client hits the server before the timer is out, you must be a bot.

Nice.
This is actually somewhat funny.

It combines the best parts of binary and text formats!

It's slow to parse just like text and impossible to change by hand just like binary!

What exactly do you mean by "compositional semantics"?

If you mean modularity, I've found Haskell to allow for more modularity than normal programs. Since you don't have side-effects everywhere, distant parts of your code are actually distinct and truly decoupled.

Haskell also makes it more natural to break your code up into small, self-contained modules; thanks to its type system, these modules tend to have well-defined interfaces that are easy for other people to use. It's surprisingly easy to write loosely-coupled code that works together.

Did you have something more specific in mind?

We're testing remote 3D rendering over WebRTC. We render the 3D world in the cloud. Video and controls go over a WebRTC-connection. I wrote a simple nodejs websocket server to handle the signaling.

It has been a quite wonderful experience despite the tech being somewhat experimental. Google Chrome offers excellent tools (chrome://webrtc-internals/ & chrome://webrtc-logs/).

First I wrote the client and a mock server to work in the browser while a colleague started implementing webrtc to work in the renderer with the PeerConnectionpp-lib. Debuggin was awesome, when you had a working mock renderer in the browser.

All the bugs I encountered we're my own and I found all the answers I needed in the dev API doc:
