Armchair Physicist here, not a real one.

There are two reasons why you'd say black holes emit radiation. An interesting one and a very interesting one (warning, other peoples scales may be calibrated differently to mine).

1) Black holes accelerate things massively, so they're travelling at an astonishing speed before they "enter". This can result in huge amounts of x-rays being emitted due to heating things to millions of degrees (well beyond white hot!). It's not the black hole itself, but the black hole is certainly to blame. http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/astro/blkbin.html

2) The weirder one. Hawking radiation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawking_radiation

Hawking radiation happens when a pair of virtual particles "pop" into existence near the event horizon. Normally these pairs annihilate quickly, but if it happens near the event horizon it's possible for one of the particles to fall in and the other to escape. This results in a loss of mass of the black hole (told you it was weird) so could be considered to be the black hole emitting radiation.
This is really the true secret: max-width: 100% is usually the first and often only change needed. Nice work.

We've been told in ideal conditions, low weight (fuel mostly gone from burning or dumping it) and about sea level altitude a generic 777 can land on an 800 meter/2,600 foot strip. Add weight and/or altitude and the length goes up, but not impossibly.

We also don't have to assume a successful landing, just an intent of one, e.g. the plane could have crashed before then or the landing could have been ugly.
I love this idea - I no longer like using Twitter Bootstrap because it's just so huge! And 90% of the time I find myself creating an override file to style it to my websites feel.

I do love their grid system though, does anyone know of a great lightweight grid system that's robust like Bootstrap's?

On the one hand being against MORE STUFF is a perfectly reasonable position. There's too much accumulated cruft in legal documents that has no real purpose besides make-work for lawyers.

On the other hand it's absurd to dogmatically oppose MORE STUFF regardless of what the stuff is. The added terms in Apache-2 make sense for a US-based collaborative software project that accepts contributions from businesses that hold software patents. They may be pointless legalese for a Canadian-based project whose contributors are mostly individual developers, but that doesn't make them an assault on developers' freedoms.

My understanding so that the height reached is one of the much more speculative pieces. It's based off the plane pinging a satellite and could easily be off several thousand feet. (Read that earlier)
We’ve shown that people will risk fines, lawsuits and whatever consequences that may come just to be able to watch a recent movie in slippers. Just to get the kind of experience they deserve.

The main techniques we have now will make the planet uninhabitable even if nothing goes "wrong." Pollution is an ongoing disaster.

I think it's clear we should be spending more time, money, and effort on truly renewable and environmentally friendly power sources. People have been turning that discussion into a "nuclear or not" debate for a long time, which has certainly hampered whatever progress we have made in that direction.
Making inflammatory comments with no supporting material, reasoning or other form of exposition does nothing to inform or encourage useful discourse.

Even if you had a point (I'm not claiming anything one way or the other) that point is poorly served by a flippant passing comment. Why would being a wealthy country make someone more adept at misleading their populace? If they were, what would be the benefit?

As a PhD student doing research in data analysis, I support governments being open with data whole heartedly. UK government schemes like this [1] are invaluable.

You may be referencing two different kind of radiations:

- the one emitted by the heated matter falling in / spinning around the black hole (the quasar referenced in the article [1])

- the Hawking radiation. Basically a pair of particle/antiparticle randomly appears near the black hole event horizon, one of the particle falls into the black hole while the other one escapes. The black hole would eventually evaporate if you waited long enough. [2]

Show HN: Feedio – Bridging the gap between you and your subscribers
Firstly, I fail to see how the lyrics from a Jay-Z song from 2002 are anything other than completely irrelevant to the Ban Bossy campaign. But if you're going to bring it up, we might as well do it right.

1) Pharrell says those lines not Jay-Z. This is the same person who wrote/sings/produced the Academy-Award nominated "Happy" song from Despicable Me.

2) The context of lyrics within a song, the intended meaning of the song itself, and intended audience of a song should obviously be taken into consideration. On a site like HN, that so often seems to point out the ridiculous nature of arguments against video games causing violence, citing lyrics of someone's husband as somehow a statement about.... well I have to be honest, I can't follow the logic of the point you're trying to make... is disappointing.

And finally 3) Here are some lyrics from Jay-Z that seem pretty relevant to your comment:

"...Rap critics that say he's Money, Cash, Hoes
I'm from the hood stupid, what type of facts are those
If you grew up with holes in your zapatos
You'd celebrate the minute you was having dough
I'm like f-ck critics, you can kiss my whole a--hole
If you don't like my lyrics, you can press fast forward...

...I don't know what you take me as
Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has
I'm from rags to riches, ni--as I ain't dumb
I got 99 problems, but a b-tch ain't one, hit me"
Are there no online communities that you can't complain about?
It's very arguable that every decisionmaking process must come down to a number, as we're talking about people and not cattle.

In this perspective, having people working on projects would be an appreciation of the "multidimensional" nature of people.

After all, contemporarily, psychology started to think of multiple intelligences rather than a single one.
If we assume this is true, what's the sense of assigning a single number to a person? Either it's false that multiple intelligences exist, or it's useless to single-dimensinally evaluate them. Then, let's start to assign 10 numbers instead of one.

I don't say that single-dimensional ratings are inherently wrong, but just that they're too narrow minded.
"Scaling up" such procedures would mean scale up something wrong and inefficient; it's not real scaling up.

I would propose to throw standardized tests in the garbage, and try novel approaches in the evaluation processes of people; I find hard to believe that assigning a number to a person is the only possible (and practical) perspective.
'Nothing Is Perfect': Tim Berners-Lee on 25 Years of the Web
Actually, I think it will be healthy. I'll probably do 2-3 interviews a week, so it's not like I'll be eating burgers for every meal. Burger Bear's burgers are made with very good quality beef. I am somebody who exercises regularly, and from my work at my startup Tribesports, I'm very aware of how to balance my activity and diet. In fact, one of the things I might do on the blog is record my weight and health throughout the project.

Hooked – How Companies Create Habit Forming Products
It looks like they've cloned all of Ionic? What is going on here?

http://angulargap.github.io/
I think we are talking about different things here.

I'm well aware that 99% of companies could get by with any old web framework. Should they, though? Of course not. Since we're talking about rails, let's use that example. It's an extremely productive, flexible, capable rapid application environment. And yes, it's not a speed demon, especially when used naively, no-one denies that. So why do companies choose it?

It's not because they're stupid or inexperienced. It's because the tradeoffs of higher productivity are worth the penalty in execution speed. Slightly higher server costs are worth the massive boost in productivity compared to other options. Why do you think it's so popular? If you're going to reply "because people are cargo cult following lemmings", you are simply wrong. The tradeoffs make sense to them, that's why.

So you're a sysadmin. Linux uses python all over the place. Why is that? They could have used any old language. But they chose python, even though it's slower than C, because the tradeoffs - easy to read, write, maintain - are worth it.

VFX could not be a more different environment than rapid web application development. As you say, 1% improvement means big bucks. You know what 1% improvement gets you on the web? Diddly shit. And every few percent raw speed increase on the web, as you drop down into the less dynamic frameworks, costs you massively in dev time, maintainability, hireability. It is a balance people strike. If I could increase my team's productivity 10% at the cost of doubling our server expenses I would take that deal instantly.

I can't speak to the fads you mention, except I also generally disdain them. But progress does happen. Which is why the web sites for the films you help make are probably not just written in any old web framework, they're probably written in rails or node or what have you, because the tradeoffs are worth it.

Remember what site you're on. This is about startups, small companies trying to grow fast. It's not about hyper-optimised rendering farms. Different worlds, dude!

Anyway, I think you actually agree with me, and I with you, if we just step into each other's shoes for a second.

Although I don't know what's so hard about making a couple of animated videos. 99% of the time you can just use any old rendering framework. I mean you just ask for a frame, it generates it, and saves it to disk right? Dude, I could do that with povray in 1995 on a 386. Whyever would you need 16 thousand computers for that? And 5PB of RAID? I can store a whole movie in like 3GB and that's 1080P! Actually my imac can make pretty realistic graphics in games, maybe you should buy one of them? Shit's easy right? : P
Ben Horowitz: 5 Reads
As nknighthb says, it's hard to say without access to the full paper. I googled for it, but couldn't find it.

There are two things I noticed in the web page (not the paper) that triggered questions immediately.

Firstly the claim "Because they had so many bags placed in so many different locations, they were able to statistically control for outside factors such as humidity, temperature and forest and soil type". The map only has 19 or so locations. Seems a bit few to me to control for so many variables. Or am I mistaken?

Secondly, the map has areas colored green, but the legend runs from yellow via orange to red. What does green mean? Radiation at normal levels?
Yep, they are completely in their right to do so (though the content of the docs site is under Apache 2 so it's a slightly different license). Just wanted to point that out the work might have originated elsewhere.
The CSS file could be more minimal if "@charset "UTF-8";" were removed. The only reason this is required is because of the UTF-8 character in the comment.
At first such implants will likely be high cost and therefore only available to the wealthy, making them our betters. Contrast that now with having the latest tech (like an iphone), which may have its own benefits but not necessarily make one better for owning it.
Go where your passions lie, don't just go after what you are able to do right now. Find something you absolutely love doing and go after that. Sometimes we get caught up in the day to day money making and forget to live. Ask yourself why you got into coding or QA to begin with, you might be in the wrong field for the wrong reasons.
What's the issue exactly?

I guess github should replace their "Fork me on github" banner with a "Rip off my work" banner.
That's a good point, but in this case, I'm guessing that Tom will be more than happy with me blogging about how good his burgers are a few times a week, and introducing 500 new customers :-)
Even yesteryear's Java EE does not require the configuration you mention. See e.g. this example: http://jdevelopment.nl/minimal-3tier-java-ee-app-xml-config or this one: http://henk53.wordpress.com/2012/04

Specifically you don't need to create a schema, xml mapping and POJO model. In most cases you ONLY need the POJO model. The XML mapping is almost never needed and the schema (DB structure) is generated automatically from this POJO model. Hibernate specific config is certainly not the norm to have, especially not in its own file. At most you may want to set one or two attributes in the Java EE/JPA standard persistence.xml file.

You also rarely need any GlassFish specific config. It exists, but needing it is the exception rather than the rule.

I wonder how you can talk about both hibernate and GlassFish configs btw. GlassFish ships with EclipseLink, so you don't need hibernate as well (they both implement JPA and will even conflict when used together).
I am dyslexic, and have struggled with reading all my life. Saccades are physically exhausting for me, and so I get fatigued quickly. I also subvocalise, which slows me down to 180 wpm or thereabouts.

RSVP is helpful because it removes the need for saccades, and so reduce fatigue. They also force you to stop subvocalising. As a result, I am able to read at 600 to 700 with high comprehension now. And over 1,000 to 1,200 wpm with enough comprehension to be useful for things I just need the gist of.

1,200 wpm. It's crazy. I never thought it would be possible. But I suspect that if I continue to use RSVP, it will have a profound effect on my life. There is so much stuff I do not read, because I find the normal experience so painful.

This is expensive $$ for the project. I assume that this burger retails for $8-10 dollars and that his location will sell 200 burgers a day. So he is giving up 1% of revenues for 1 1/2 years! Freemium doesn't work in the restaurant space.
A very well-written article that promotes thinking, or better yet, re-thinking. The main point to take away is this: don't take for granted current, commonly-used constructs and architectures, they're the result of decades of tradeoffs designed to tip-toe technology's constraints. Today most of those constraints are long gone and the assumptions don't hold anymore, if we could just forget the bad parts instead of accepting them as gospel and use these five decades of experience to build something new and better, maybe we could finally stop our current methodologies from curbing our progress.

Kudos to the author.
and you are not ignoring. And yes the flat fad is dead already and this "work" is just a rip off. So one can "hate" it as much as one wants.
Too true, Norway, despite having one of the works richest populations, are also hardcore pirates. It's not a question of money, it is exclusively one of service.

Delayed releases? Pirate. Poor quality? Pirate. Ad-riddled media? Pirate.

I subscribe to so much different stuff right now, but the second a service demands I watch ads over just paying more, it stops receiving money altogether.

Freedom.
Oh really? I don't watch TV and rarely see 'mainstream' movies or listen to 'popular' music. And don't suffer any isolation symptoms because of that. Culture is not about watching evertyhing that's new and hot. There's enough of it accessible without having to pirate anything. 'Free for all' means turning everything into commercials and concentrating on mass market only.

PS think about games and what happened to them in the free or almost-free mass market, centralized and totally controlled by Apple or Google. Everything was simplified and stupified beyond reason and the revenue comes from tricking users into additional payments or from commercials. And creators not wanting to play according to Apple's rules have will be fked and refused access to the platform, which is a new for of censorship. Generally it's now better to make 100 shitty games than one great and I dont want the same to happen to books, music or movies.
Actually the burger in the picture is healthier than you'd think. It's very good quality beef. I have a balanced diet and exercise lots. I also subscribe to the 'fat is not the enemy' school of thought. Maybe I'll take some before and after photos to prove it!

I have no idea how one would come to your conclusion when there's evidence otherwise, that this was a deliberate action: the climbs, disabling of more than one communication system at different times, course changes, no calls back.
The things that matter in critical embedded systems are typically not captured by type systems: memory boundedness, running time upper bounds, overflows,... For these things even (controlled) C is a better option than Haskell today.
HN, more than most, is a global forum, and with that in mind people should really stop and think before offering their opinion on a subject where critical cultural context is almost surely missing from one's perspective.
WordPress: Sending Correct HTTP Status Code on Login Failure
You are starting from the assumption that this movement is in error rather than arguing it to be. The whole point of their argument is that the word "bossy" is used to police women's behavior in situations where the same behavior is considered positive for men -- so simply asserting that it always describes negative behavior doesn't exactly make a useful point.

Their claim may in fact be false. But starting from the assumption that it is false doesn't really add anything to the discussion.
This app is much simpler and cleaner than Basecamp. It has a great mix of features - I really like the kanban board, achievements and time counter.

> My general impression about being a boss is that "one should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself" does not apply for such situation.

LOL. How does this not apply: "As a boss I should treat my employees the way I would like my boss to treat me." Any reasonable person understands that the professional context means that the relationship between boss/employee is not the same as friend/friend, stranger-on-subway/stranger-on-subway.

> military style boss might value...that's just an example.

That is a terrible, contrived example based on some strange concept/stereotype/cliche of military leadership. What branch of the service were you in? Did your well respected NCOs run around acting like the guy from Office Space and pester people about their TPS reports?
1. Skimming the paper, it only matters if you need an efficient stable sort. If you just need O(1) memory you can stay with heapsort, which at least will have more reference implementations.

This lead me to look up browser sort implementations; http://stackoverflow.com/questions/234683/javascript-array-s... - it seems Moz uses mergesort and Webkit may or may not do something silly for non contiguous arrays.

So, there could be a use for it. For most applications you're about fine as it is.

2. I'm interested in hearing about applications where you're loading millions of array elements in people's browsers.

I was going to be cranky and make rude comments but I can envision people wanting to play with their data without loading it in specialized toolsets/learn R/build a DSL in $lang_of_choice.
One happy benefit of being able to read Russian is being able to use Yandex as a second or third point of view when researching a topic primarily through Internet search.

There also seems to be variation between Wikipedia articles in different languages that I would not ascribe to incompleteness. Does generally-accepted cultural "truth" about a topic or incident really differ so much?
There was definitely cream cheese/yoghurt/mayo on it when I had it yesterday!

It's also cooked with the same griddle and spatula at the moment. A lot of vegans might find that a little bit disconcerting. I don't know how it will be when he has his diner up though!
Just like most tech, it starts off extremely expensive then drops quite quickly. The human genome project cost $3 billion. The cost now is around $1000. Another order of magnitude price drop within 5 years?
This is awesome science (I would say a little more worthy of a kickstarter than Another burger joint). Fukushima is the Chernobyl of the sea, hopefully someone will do similar research to study it.
