It seems like it's a pretty small crystal (largest dimension is about the width of 4 human hairs - if I understand correctly). I'm curious as to how they actually found it...
> one way to deal with this may be to have engineering teams on stand-by, ready to helo to a broken drone ship and do repairs.

If the ships travelled in groups of 3+ then in the event of a failure the other two ships could tow the failed ship? Is this feasible? I honestly have no idea.
As a matter of fact, Servo was broken in 32-bit for quite some time, although it isn't at the moment.

Search for what you can do for an Android phone that isn't on the very latest version of the OS, and then look up stats of how many Android phones are not, and will never be, on the latest version of the OS. That's unconscionable. To not backport fixes to devices, and to stop shipping updates to them mere months after their release in some cases.
I'm sorry you strongly dislike those books. I think they're quite good. I can't imagine why you would say he is "trying to get you stuck". Do you have a specific example?

Correct, this paper demonstrated that the Pb doesn't move around too far that it would invalidate the previous measurements. This was done using atom probe tomography.

Also, It was accepted at the end of last year and took a bit to publish, not unusual.

I believe that anywhichway hasn’t found the names of the “independent[…] audit[ors]” in that document. He’s being harsh, but his point is technically true: the text reads ‘should’ first. Hopefully, a matter of days.
Originally, I did just that with my service. The problem is when you need simple information like "What browser and version are you using" when someone says something "isn't working". Capturing User Agent during form submission takes an otherwise painful step out: asking a non-technical person to find out what version of Internet Explorer they are running. There are still people who think "The Internet" is "the Blue E on my computer". Similarly adding required fields like "What's your site's address" when you run a multi-site service. All valuable things to have specified so that you can answer any questions with the first response rather than having to ask a pile of followup questions when customers don't provide enough info.

With a general purpose email, you don't get that.

The advent of PCR and complete sequences of large numbers of viral genomes makes this sort of analysis fairly easy, although far from foolproof, these days.

Before the era of molecular biology, isolating the agents of disease was considerably more painstaking. There's an outline of the isolation of the polio virus here:

http://www.virology.ws/2008/12/19/100th-anniversary-of-the-i...

But even once that was done, all scientists had was a procedure to make a test-tube full of liquid which would give you polio. They could reasonably surmise it was a virus (and they were lucky it wasn't a prion!), but beyond that, they knew nothing: not the nature of the virus, not how to culture it, not how to fight it. Gleaning that knowledge meant putting their lab coats back on and going back to the bench for a few more decades.

They have a contractual obligation to abide by their Terms of Service (that you sign when you sign up for Gmail) or notify you of changes to them.

I guess I should expand on my previous comment...

Despite what that github page says about not having any reason for making these sculptures, I'm currently thinking of them as a way to highlight the kinds of concepts and technology that our computer-saturated world relies on to operate. Of course the obvious audience is people who already have an understanding of computer science, but by making them aesthetically pleasing I hope to expose people who aren't interested in algorithms to some of the algorithms that influence or make up the technology they rely on. They're intended to be shown in a gallery space, but now that I have space to show in they're more than 500 miles away from me; hopefully I'll put a show together later this year.
12 to 15 percent more efficient because you eliminate people? And where is the part where a miricle occurs and the laws of physics are modified?

The efficiency and pollution problem with cargo ships can't be fixed with more crgo ships. That's just insane. Build a dedicated high-speed nuclear, wind and solar powered high speed cargo train connecting the US coasts and the gulf. This alone would eliminate some ten thousand cargo ships per year making the trek through the Panama Canal. During this trek they burn over a million dollars of bunker fuel, the nastiest most polluting fuel you can burn.

Methinks this is just one of those "let's burn government money 'cause they don't know any better" scams. Not the first time.
yeah the title is misleading. The "food stamps" part was when his family first immigrated from the Ukraine. So it was when he was a child and I don't know how long that lasted. But looks to me that his post-school adult years were just fine in terms of finance. Sure he gained and list millions but in the end was still doing better than most.

Sheesh. I retract my "skeptical about that" bit.

I think you're right that this won't be a big deal for Apple. It won't really hurt them much.

However, basing your actions solely on the impact to yourself and ignoring the potentially huge negative impact for your customers is exactly the sort of thing that causes me to call it "unconscionable".
In the sense that they would have the down payment on a condo in the Mission, yes. But that's not what "winning the lottery" implies.

SMS is slow and clunky, let alone MMS which takes a while longer to send, both of which is hardly "instant" in receiving.

Then trying to send a block of text will spam your friends depending on phone and service which formats it into multiple txts.

these pain points are why I only use sms for very logistical messages to family/friends and move to online platforms to share materials and communicate more effectively.
That is not how to use "let alone."

Not with current ship designs. It takes an enormous amount of power to tow a loaded cargo ship. They're built with some power redundancy, but not enough extra to tow another loaded ship.

I am hoping Servo is going to increase the use of Rust. There aren't many resources for it at the moment even though it is at version 0.9. I would think that a language nearing "1.0" would have a wider community by now. Here's hoping!
When each shipment nets maybe $30,000,000 for the shipping company and you pay about £20,000 for the crew during that time, you'd need to save a lot of money elsewhere to make this worthwhile.
I think Powerball and MegaMillions are the two people usually think of when they think "the lottery", at least in the states that I've lived in.

Looks like they're just trying to not make it obvious that Macs can have security problems. I don't think many regular users (who probably think Macs are invincible) are going to actively look for security announcements about their invincible Mac. And when they look at the release notes, many of them won't be convinced to stop what they're doing and install some unnecessary updates.

I only understand the broad strokes well enough to say for certain. My assumption is that they can do anything they want with the "Double Irish" money, but they avoid bringing it back into the US if at all possible since they'd have to pay corporate income tax on it at that point.
Yes, it's generally true. Capital losses can generally be used to offset subsequent capital gains, or up to $3000 of ordinary income a year.
I disagree that any part of the universe is insignificant. We're all important.

Word. I was looking at the numbers for MegaMillions - seems like one of the payouts is 1 million dollars - which I think can easily turn into 400k if you took a lump sum. There are also a few payouts that are smaller sums.

This is a sort of silly question, but does one only 'win' the lottery if they get the jackpot?
What kind of sad the world we live in when someone would seriously believe this. There are plenty of Lotteries whose pot sizes are not in the millions that people play. For the vast majority of Americans having that sum would be life changin and the equivalent of winning the lottery. Even if you're making a low six figure salary that sum is more then respectable, considering the likely expenses you have and that after taxes your take home pay will be way less. Seriously, for me to be like, man that's whatever I would have be making closer to a 7 figure salary, and even then I would still be conscious of the general socio-economic issues at hand to know that's still a large sum of money. Many people retire on less, give me a break.

No, certainly not for hiding his incompetence, but I think the point was more: don't be too graphic in wishing him to discover what sex in jail can be. That’s an… understandable reaction, but inappropriate on a public forum. He’s got family who cares about his well-being, and the next days are going to be tough for them too. Imagine talking to his mother, or children: the facts, they are going to need them to understand, but nothing violent or tasteless (and I think you did a great job).

He didn't kill anyone; I'm sure one can save a lot of lives with that kind of money, but… I’d rather see you compare him to Kerviel (I'd disagree) or that Barings' trader (closer). The Head of security at Target, or Sony might be more accurate cases.

Well, yeah, that official role (combined with its past history of performance in the role) is a big part of why its a trusted third party in the use of USD as money.
