Does the current systemd journal not work for you today? On CoreOS, your app outputs to stdout which should log into docker which feeds logs into the journal which fleet exposes with fleetctl journal myapp.unit.

I realize that this isn't a proper logging product or anything, but it should be enough to hold you over. If this isn't working for you or you have a different use-case, hop in #coreos on Freenode and we can try to figure something out.
Not every client or wallet supports ownership of addresses. You could be sending coins back to a hot wallet, where they're indistinguishable from coins that I don't own and they don't even come back to my wallet balance. You could say "not my problem" but that's adding a lot of overhead to the brain of my wallet's mixing service that we didn't have to deal with before :)

This is great work, another fantasy of mine made reality and posted to HN!

Is their a tutorial for getting started with OSCAR? A "HOWTO" for analyzing a paper would make this program more accessible. If I could learn how to use it without spending too much time doing so, I would use it as tool for reviewing manuscripts. I would also like to use it on my own manuscripts to find mistakes.

I have a feature request: optical pattern recognition of mathematical formulas. It would be awesome to feed a program a pdf and have all of the mathematical formulas translated to LaTeX.
Postgres support was added to RDS a few months ago FYI.

Also I think it is just because MySQL is generally more popular than PG, so it is deployed first in most cases, with PG support being added later.

I don't care about the method, I care about a correct prediction.

But in the end it's the structure of the solution and the "guesses" that had to be done that contribute to the success more than the method.

For super high bandwidth things (video today) it makes sense to serve as close to the end user as possible. This probably means putting the server in your ISP's network. This probably violates what most people think of as net neutrality. But it makes sense from a technical standpoint. I think net neutrality needs to update it's thinking to accommodate this model. Maybe what should be neutral is the pricing for putting a server inside the ISP's network? How do you treat the ISP's own video service? Force it to be a different company that pays the same as netflix to store a server there?

The "Novel Ways:"

1) Housing stipend of $500/mo if employees live within a 10-minute walk of the office

2) A semi-annual retreat / hackathon where employees cook meals, hang out, bond, code, and present their projects

3) Plane ticket anywhere in the world that must be used between their 1 and 2-year anniversary at the company.

I know of many companies that already do #1 and #2, but I suppose I haven't heard of this complimentary vacation ever before. Seems like a pretty awesome perk, which shows they respect and value work/life balance.

No. The transmitters calculate signals such that constructive/destructive interference will combine to form a strong, clean signal in the precise location where the device is.

How exactly do you prove you don't possess something?
Even if they do have your private keys, they have no assurance that they have the only copy of them.

If you're forced to hand over private keys to a wallet that more than one person has keys for, there's nothing that prevents the other person from (with bad intent or otherwise) moving those funds to another wallet.
I have known for a long time that they were in Canonical's Carrier Advisory Group, and I can only wonder what use they have for Ubuntu phones. I think they didn't have much success in selling Windows Phone handsets on-contract, so maybe they are planning on offering Ubuntu as the third OS choice in place of Windows Phone (as in, Android/iOS/Ubuntu instead of Android/iOS/WP).

I first became aware of it when I was fresh out of school. I was talking to a more senior PhD researcher and we were having a conversation about other people in our department and he said something to the effect of, "Do you know Bob? I always thought he seemed like a good guy, but then the other day I discovered he was a frequentist. Too bad." I thought for sure I had mis-heard him at first.
It was also misleading. I didn't click on the link at first because I assumed it had something to do with the movie.

That only works in places where a free market exists. In the case of ISPs there are generally very limited options and no room for new competitors. That being the case, we don't have much of a free market or opportunity for proper capitalism to govern the entities involved. In situations such as that, unfortunately, we need a governing entity to set some ground rules to protect the consumers.
Maybe or maybe not. It depends on what you're trying to optimize for. One man's opportunity cost is another man's ability to weather a funding crisis that eliminates his competitors and provides him with a large opportunity once the business cycle is back on the upswing.

Inflation is a tax on assets held as dollars. That tends to make it highly progressive as savings tends to increase faster than income once you pass a certain inflection point.

The government already taxes other things (both to generate income and to alter behavior), so looking at inflation that way makes it easier IMO to make sound policy decisions rather than comparing it to executions.

Robert Zubrin's space elevator book analyzes this situation and concludes that most of the mass would either escape or burn up in the atmosphere. Only the bottom-most section would hit the ground.

His design contemplates anchoring to a movable ocean-going platform, both for this kind of safety issue and because it means you can steer it away from big-but-easy-to-track tropical storms.

And the space elevator is not something that would be developed by interplanetary travelers but by people who just want to get into Earth orbit.

I think it would mainly be useful for people either launching/maintaining a lot of satellites, or living in Earth orbit. Or if someone is producing energy or material in space (orbital solar power stations?) and they want to easily transmit it back to Earth, an elevator would probably be more efficient than weekly collection runs.
Not in the short term see (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroid_mining#Financial_feasi...). It is a lot cheaper, easier and less risky to mine even very rare minerals on Earth rather than do so in space. And will be too for the foreseeable future. Plus any investor doesn't want to dump platinum on the market as then the price would plummet and seriously erase the profit. And you'll want a lot of guaranteed returns to undertake such a financially risky investment.

This is why I really like the points Glenn Greenwald made in his debate with Bill Keller from the NYTimes. His meta point was that there is no such thing as being objective in reporting and any attempts to be objective just functions to obfuscate the bias that is unavoidable. At least when sources are openly biased and wear that bias on their sleeve, it becomes much easier to separate fact from opinion.

One of the important reasons Postgres connections are serviced by a separate process is that if that process segfaults, you only disconnect other connections (because if might have tainted shared memory when it died), but the main database process keeps running and you can reconnect immediately.

All that said, even if we just had a functioning alternative (even if it were significantly slower), it would give us options when we need uncensored, unregulated communication. It's better than having absolutely no options when your government oversteps its bounds.
Basically, Cloud SQL databases are written out to Google's storage system, which automagically replicates across several datacenters. If the primary datacenter that your database is in goes down, it's still replicated across other datacenters and the data at rest isn't at risk. When a connection comes in, we see that the database isn't up right now, and spin in up into a new datacenter (this happens automatically if your database is always on).

We offer two different ways of working with Cloud SQL: synchronous and asynchronous writes. With the synchronous writes, you'll get an OK back when you update the database, which lets you know that the write completed successfully and is replicated. If something bad happens, you'll get an exception back and can keep the data in memory until the database is live and accepting connections again.

A faster method is asynchronous, which performs the writes every second or so, so you're not waiting for replication to complete. If something dies during that second, you could lose data during that period and not know it.

Does this help?

Indeed. Hard to tell the nutcases from the truth tellers. Perhaps this is why some folks don't bother to refute the outrageous tales against them.
Another article that makes a really basic mistake involving "the secret".

You don't visualize yourself taking the steps to accomplish a goal, you visualize yourself and your feelings as if the desired goal has already been accomplished.

Not "I will lose 25 pounds!", but instead "I have lost 25 pounds and I look and feel awesome and am very happy and thankful to have done so!" - A great deal of the secret is replicating the emotional state you'll be in when your given goal is accomplished.

The idea being that, I suppose if you were to remove the supernatural element from it, it somehow gets your subconscious to motivate you to doing whatever it is you want done.

Calling it "positive thinking" really doesn't do the concept justice. Thinking of goals as already accomplished doesn't really fit that definition.
Django requires multiple processes, which makes sharing things like connections quite difficult. That is not sane.
Interviewed with their lead front-end engineer for a front-end engineering position. Everything was great then he asked me for my "story". I answered as best I could but I guess it wasn't what he wanted to hear so he re-iterated that he wanted to know if he would like working with me. I think that's great thing to determine but was put-off by the question-- I got the feeling I would be working with a bit of a tool.

He also put a ton of emphasis on it being a "start-up" and essentially said something along the lines of "in this type of culture its expected that you earn less". I can only guess they passed on me because of my salary requirements which are ~20k under the average. If that is the case which I can only guess it was, not exactly filled with respect or value for work/life balance. /2 cents

That's kinda missing that the whole point of researching space elevators is to dramatically change the value proposition.

Space will be economically uninteresting until somebody manages to drop the price-per-pound by a few orders of magnitude, and then an awful lot of things becoming economically interesting. A viable space elevator might just accomplish that.
