Ah, apologies, so this would be impossible with a living thing.

If we substitute for a machine? Could you, perhaps, build a strong enough spaceship to dip in close enough to dangle something passed the horizon, and then accelerate away again? I don't suppose you'd be able to measure anything from the resulting object, even if you could get it back...

Even if you couldn't, I still find it implausible that even large objects would travel across the even horizon effectively instantaneously.
I live in the Midwest. My monthly expenses are roughly half of your monthly rent.

"The Ascent" is one of the greatest movies I've ever watched, the one with which I even began to somewhat identify myself with. By the way, it is based on a groundbreaking novella "Sotnikov" by Vasily Bykov [0] which is interesting to read in it's own sense.

Leonid Maryagin is "Леонид Марягин" in Russian. Here's his Wikipedia page [1] and here are the torrent links to the "Public enemy - Bukharin" [2] [3].

The point I was trying to make is that altought the code looks like C, it is Objective-C code from the compiler design point of view.

It is an Objective-C struct that shares the same semantics as a C struct.

Similar to many other languages that have kept compatibility with C to easy code sharing between code bases.
> Mozilla's engine looks more solid for universal use
> The only problem is that it's harder to embed in another software

Well , you cant have it both ways. There was spideymonkey-node a few years ago , but Mozilla doesnt seem interested in maintaining that. In fact there are quite a few mozilla abandonned projects,(XULRunner...) that could have competed with node-webkit.
Besides market issues, it is just really hard to make a very sophisticated game on a touchscreen. The controls are inherently imprecise and require you to cover up a third of the screen anytime you're interacting. The SNES game landscape would have looked very different if it had a control scheme with those properties. The popular sorts of games for mobile are the sorts of games that actually work well with the limitations of the phone hardware.
I think it's because of the App Store's roots in iTunes. Searching for media—music, let's say—usually requires you to know the name of the artist, album, or song. How rarely does someone know the name or developer of an app?

If I were to search for music in the same way I search for apps, I'd never find anything I was really looking for. The terms are too broad. However, searching for music (even if using overly broad search terms) at least lets you preview a song, so you can judge if you're about to make a good purchase.
East St Louis is not in St Louis. It's (1) in Illinois and (2) across the Mississippi river, and there is a 0% chance of accidentally wandering there.
Peer pressure, my friend.
You've totally missed the point. As I acknowledged in the comment you just replied to, nobody uses the crappy certificate UI in browsers. The fact that the UI exists means it is possible to change your certificate list.

It is not possible to have users configure different DNS roots. DNS is part of Internet connectivity.
Quite honestly, shameless self-promotion of this is getting really tiresome.

Well Uber can dismiss the employees.

But Gett can take Uber to court, and possibly make a criminal complaint.
That's approaching the singularity, not the event horizon, no?

EDIT: OK, maybe it is, but from which observation point? An external observer may never see someone cross the horizon, but their local time would keep on ticking. Time always seems normal to you, remember, just other peoples' goes crazy in highly relativistic situations.
Having grown up in St. Louis, I will say that the statistics about violence are highly skewed. Yes, the rates of violent crime in East/North St. Louis are extremely high. However, it's not terribly difficult to avoid these areas (unless you're really into strip clubs). The suburbs and most of the rest of the city are no less safe than comparable areas in the bay area.

My first thought when reading this was that MSSQL (which i'm most experienced with) would automatically optimize this query. I'd think postgres can too. If I saw this happen in MSSQL I'd start by clearing the statistics for the table.

My second thought was that 20 seconds is a long time for a query and there's probably a better solution using a materialized view.
You picked a particularly poor example. The application compatibility layer does not incredibly hamper the OS whatsoever. First of all the ACL is only active when known executables that have problems with the newer versions are running. As an educated guess it would not take more than a millisecond to ID the .exe. Secondly what the ACL does is fairly benign - what it amounts to in simple terms is that it simply uses a different code path for a very narrow set of functions. The cost associated with loading an 'extra library' is so marginal that you would find it hard to measure.
This shouldn't surprise anybody. It's the very same behavior that drives stealing a game, that drives protecting yourself from being knocked off.
The Html5 boiler plate project decided against shared JavaScript CDNs: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/pull/1327

No. If you jump to the end of the long discussion, the last comment says:

I'm sure there will be a similar discussion in the near future (especially as things such as SPDY / HTTP 2.0 get more traction), but for the time being, we'll stick with the CDN.
But each slice of pie is infinitely divisible, or nearly so, so it makes no difference.

At the end of the day, the currency will hold some amount of economic value. For bitcoin at the moment, it's about $10 Billion USD. The total gross world product (GWP) is currently the equivalent of about $70 Trillion USD. So lets imagine a single crypto currency holding the entire GWP.

For bitcoin, that's $70 Trillion / 21 Million bitcoins = $3,333,333 per bitcoin. For dogecoin that's $70 Trillion / 100,000,000,000 dogecoin = $700 per dogecoin.

Both Bitcoin and Dogecoin are divisible to at least 8 decimal places (and the algorithms can change to permit greater divisibility), so your unit of currency is basically arbitrary. You can still spend $1 worth of a $3,333,333 bitcoin just as you can with dogecoin.

Dogecoin is just shifiting the decimal places around. It doesn't give you any different stake versus Bitcoin.

Ugh, this entire thing is in coffeescript too, now I have to learn coffeescript to make sense of this library.
Wow. The fact that this is being done in other cities, with two other competitors, and that they have names for this tactic shows that this is a company wide pattern at Uber rather than something the entire Uber New York team just thought up one day.

It is hard for something this unethical, and almost certainly illegal, to happen at several major Uber offices against at least three different competitors, and have its own name -without it being the company culture.

If you're looking for "San Francisco" feel, crowd, look, shops, and trendy neighborhoods in St. Louis. Go to the "Central West End" District. If there's one thing St. Louis can be proud of it's that district. That whole area from Forest Park (bigger than Central Park in New York) including the neighborhoods around it, Barnes Jewish Hospital, Children's Hospital Complex, GasLamp District, Central West End is really nice.
Great, now I just need a third-party package manager that only runs on their own javascript environment. Whenever I write a web application in something other than javascript (happens), that's quite a build dependency right there. I'd rather not have Ruby gems and npm packages in a Python project, for example.
Think about the CPU landscape in 1984. You had all these 8-bit home computers running at sub-2MHz. The IBM PC was 16-bits running at 4.77MHz, and most of those were actually using 8-bit buses (the 8088 vs. 8086). The super expensive IBM PC/AT was the top of the line: a 6MHZ 80286.

In comparison to all of this, a processor running at 8MHz that could do full 32-bit operations (though, yes, the external bus was half that) and with 16 32-bit registers. and no segments...mind blowing!
Yeah, man. I'd move in a heartbeat if it weren't for family in the area.

"This paper has already seen more, meaningful, peer review that most papers Nature publishes ..."

I really don't think that this is true. The useful bit of peer review is changes made to the original paper as part of the peer review process (both for accuracy and clarity of exposition). No feedback from arXiv readers has yet been incorporated into this paper; perhaps in a few months there will be an updated version that includes such feedback. Until then, people will have to search the net to get a feeling for how the wider field views his ideas.

In terms of feedback from conferences, plenty of results are presented at conferences prior to publication in Nature and other journals, so I doubt there is any difference in the review level here.
fwiw, none of us posted this and I'm not sure why it ended up here.
FWIW, the PC-BSD project (think "FreeBSD fine-tuned for the Desktop") has written various tools to help managing such things as FreeBSD jails easier -- see, for example, warden [0]).

If you're looking to try it out but don't need/want the desktop/GUI, there's also TrueOS. It's basically FreeBSD plus all the cool management tools they've written but minus the desktop/GUI.

This is one of the reasons traditional cab services are heavily regulated: to avoid these sorts of battles. It's in the interest of a municipality to have stable, predictable, reliable public transportation. Price wars, selective service, and tactics like these disrupt that stability.
rsync.net is run entirely on FreeBSD.

Further, it may interest you to know that we (JohnCompanies) used FreeBSD and jail to provide the first VPS services[1], back in fall of 2001. The VPS as we know it (which appears to be dying in the world of EC2-style instances) came into existence as a direct result of jail.

[1] Yes, Verio did have that bizarro VPS-like service that cost an arm and a leg a year or so earlier, but the VPS as you think of it was first provided (AFAIK) by JohnCompanies in 2001.
I think the biggest reason to use React is how it handles the DOM. In most framework views, DOM access is slow and can be a bottleneck. React addresses that problem by using a virtual DOM. In order to make a change to the real DOM, React computes a diff between the newly virtual DOM and the previously computed virtual DOM, and then it applies the diff to the real DOM. The triggering to the virtual DOM computation is done explicitly, hence React has a lot better DOM rendering performances.
Everything you can do in React, you can do with other frameworks (Angular's directives and isolated scopes for example), but React is a lot faster and easier to learn, and definitely worth looking into.
We have a JSON api and there is a good chance you can use our service (depending on the problem you are solving). I'll send you an email.

Just to play devil's advocate, would you apply the same standard to Musk's handling of the Tesla fires? His primary concern there seemed to be to disavow responsibility and blame the driver. While it's true that the fires were driver error, that doesn't change how combative he is about criticism (see: top gear).
It has done in the past, at least if the person doing the posting added their own editorial comments as I believe Hunter Moore did. However this issue hasn't come up so far because the main lawyer pursuing most of the civil cases, Marc Randazza, strongly believes this shouldn't affect section 230 immunity.

I literally wouldn't use PayPal if they paid me to use them (in fact I would pay for and setup a merchant account with online payments processing long before I would touch PayPal).
It's pretty clear they were doing this to harvest phone numbers of drivers (why does Gett give out their drivers' phone numbers?) rather than any attempt to actually disrupt Gett's business. I would be rather hesitant to call this "fraud", as that's a very serious allegation.

There's never been a coin that's been adopted anywhere nearly as quickly (which isn't to say it won't happen again, but it's definitely unusually successful).
For me the game was very addictive but playing it often felt compulsive instead of fun. Some of the levels were quite enjoyable but many of them felt like waiting for the random number generator to generate a level that was not impossible. Also, I felt that the new features as the game advanced were designed to increase the amount of luck needed.

Basically, the gameplay felt like I was repeatedly throwing dice until I got a certain combination of numbers. Also, in the later levels, the dice may randomly explode.
There is a hefty sun burn tax in Texas. 100 degree weather for sometimes 30 straight days. May - Sept are all 90 degrees+ without fail. The winter is colder than the bay area.
Three things:

1) There are almost certainly a lot of inaccuracies in here. I saw a few on a quick skim of the article.

2) Exponential growth is a hard thing for most people to wrap their minds around. The best tech investors--many of which invested in this round--understand it. Most bloggers do not. The former camp has a better track record on valuing companies like these, although of course a lot of investments don't work out. But I would much prefer to give money to the investors in this round to invest for me than the writers of this article.

3) It's easier to spew hate than it is to build value. While bloggers write stuff like this, companies can just ignore it and laugh about it over drinks in a few years.
This is amazing. I could have really used something simple like this in the past, and really appreciate the ability to use it in the future. Seriously, thank you!

Yeah, it's hard to come up with good examples. RSS itself isn't even a great exploration mechanism for finding stuff outside of a single site.

Thinking back to the good old days, my main forms of discovery were IRC, Usenet (with its underlying structure it made it easy to dig into weird/different niches at will)...

A few things were consistent about these mechanisms:
Each one allowed you to start in a specific niche/community, explore outside of it and become entrenched in wider/more diverse communities/interests.

They had some basic structure (channels on IRC, top level groups on Usenet), some form of curation/moderation (channel operators, news server admins who could white/blacklist content, rules/guidelines about cross-posting, some proactive moves against spam/off topic trolling), but ultimately were "open."

Anyone could get their foot in with some basic software, anyone could add their voice, and engage either with a group of people or one-on-one.
It's contained in the first graf. They were arrested. That's what the news is.

The rest of the article is background explaining who Hunter Moore is, to clarify why his arrest is newsworthy.

Bias much? An accurate description would be "gcc is licensed such that plug-ins must be at least as freely licensed as gcc is (GPL3) and LLVM is licensed such that proprietary modules can plug in". If that's a "kludge", then it's a pretty "interesting" use of the word, and one that can be applied to an awful lot of software. Further, it's philosophically motivated, not politically. Whether or not you agree with it is a different, and frankly irrelevant issue.

Actually, they are spreading in the wild, sort of.

There is a parallel universe, where people called "webmasters" upload websites to a hosting account with ftp. They use outdated php cms systems, their home directory is writable by the user/grourp that runs the webserver. They dont use version control and cant tell when a js file is injected with malicious code.
They all get injected with js malware every day. There is malware that targets cmses specifically and injects code in the cms libraries or config files directly.
Congresswoman interrupted during NSA interview for report on Justin Bieber
I hadn't heard of this before. But I'm a bit confused, how does an uber driver hit someone while searching for fares? Searching for fares in Uber means sitting in your car waiting for your phone to ding. The only reason to be moving around without a passenger is if you think that a different neighborhood is a better place to be to find passengers (as distance to the prospective passenger is important), but driving to another neighborhood certainly doesn't qualify as "searching" for anything.
Net Neutrality and Gaming: Things Can Get A Lot Worse
If you believe in software freedom for all users, then it is immoral to distribute proprietary software or enable others to do so. In that case it's not a kludge, it's a design feature to make it harder for others (eg, "software hoarders") to be immoral, and your points are incorrect.

If you believe in software freedom for all developers, so they can do whatever they want to do with your code, then yes the gcc design is horrible and your points are correct.

The choice of viewpoint is based on one's politics and ethics, even if isn't explicitly stated. You apparently don't believe in software freedom for all users, so you interpret RMS's objections as being "politically motivated."

But by the same token, clang has made a deliberate choice to not protect user freedom, which can just as easily be interpreted as a politically motivated decision.
And so it begins. The Bay Area is starting to lose some of its talent to other areas (in an already tight talent market). This is just one example and I ran into a few others in the past 2 months, that are in a gtfo state.
