Don't you understand? Someone else read it before, therefore that must you mean you've read it before. If you didn't read it before, it must not be worth your time to read it now.

I'm with you, I truly do not understand this need to point out reposts as a negative. Sure, point out that it is a repost with a link to the original in case someone wants to read the comments from that thread as well. But there's no need to be negative about it.
Why not? As far as I know, the law will treat your bitcoins like any other property you own. It's not legal to steal them just because they're "bitcoins", nor are they inherently uninsurable.

Now, whether that's an effective deterrent and whether there's a realistic chance of catching the thieves is a big question, but there's nothing inherently different. It's not that hard to rob your house of cash and not get caught either. The main reason it doesn't happen is because the criminals who are good enough to do it have bigger fish to fry. If they found out that you had $100,000 under your mattress then there would be trouble.
Yes, you can either use QML or C++.

> Disagree.

Then you are disagreeing with the theory of relativity, because what I've said is what the theory of relativity says. See below.

> The EP demands that the laws of physics in the skydiver's frame and frame X are the same

True.

> so what you say here should be the same for the skydiver

False, because there is no law of physics that says the r coordinate has to behave the same in every LIF. The r coordinate is a global coordinate, not a coordinate in the LIF; so as soon as you talk about the r coordinate, you are not just talking about the LIF, you are talking about the relationship between the LIF and a global coordinate chart. And there is no law of physics that says that relationship must be the same for every LIF. In fact that relationship is very different for the skydiver LIF as compared to the LIF that is falling through the horizon of a black hole. So any reasoning you do based on the assumption that that relationship is the same for both is simply wrong.

> Of course in the skydiver's frame you wouldn't use terms like "global coordinate chart"

As soon as you talk about the r coordinate, you are using a global coordinate chart, whether you realize it or not. So by not using such terms, you are failing to understand a key aspect of the scenario.

> as that would be unnecessarily complex.

It's (somewhat) complex, yes, but it's not "unnecessarily" complex. As I've said several times, understanding the proper relationship between the LIF and the global r coordinate is crucial if you want to correctly state what relativity says about this scenario. You and the blog post author have given excellent demonstrations of the mistakes you make if you don't have that understanding.
It's a tool that can be used for either one. It helps women detect the fertile time of their cycle (which is typically about 6-8 days), so it can be used for both pregnancy prevention and achievement.
Both. It lets them know when they are likely to get pregnant, and when they're aren't. They can use that information to choose when to have unprotected sex (or protected) depending on what they want to happen.
That is a great question, I doubt it.

That said, Visual Studio is not a cash cow for Microsoft and making it totally free might be a key move in starting to win back dev mindshare.
I like to charge a flat rate for the first X number of hours, then charge $Y/hour after that. This forces me to gather the requirement before making an estimate. It discourages the customer from adding new requirement unless it is worth $Y/hour to them.
Regardless of whether or not one feels he's deserving of this - it's the payment all parties agreed to. Do companies now consider compensation notional? Should they be able to take it back whenever they feel like it? If they think that actually a chef was totally useless for the first year - why stop with options - why not make him pay back 50% of his salary?

This whole line of reasoning is senseless. Compensation was agreed to - that in the end Zynga valued their options less than they ought to have should be irrelevant to employees retaining them.

Neither of those things are impossible to build around bitcoins. If you catch the thieves, you can probably get the bitcoins back. The currency used has nothing to do with whether it's possible to build insurance around it.

You can hold folks off with nuclear weapons, but I don't think Russia would act any differently towards Ukraine if every citizen was armed. I don't think they count the cost.

Switzerland is well defended and would be last on the conquer list for Europe, but it would still be on the list. Without nukes, they cannot really keep a determined invader out. Particularly if the invader had nukes themselves.
Ask HN: What's with the billboards in San Francisco?
There are new billboards coming up all over San Francisco. Why have they not existed in the past? Has something changed? What can we do to stop them from ruining this beautiful city?
Well, to separate concerns. ActionController does what it's good at (routing and rendering), and your application does what it's good at (business logic). One tangible benefit of separating concerns in this way is that it makes it possible to use the application itself as a module behind different adapters. So you can put it behind a raw tcp api, or a 0mq bus, or a command line front-end, etc., without needing to change anything but the adapters.

It is very reasonable to question whether this is really all that useful or whether doing it from the start is a premature optimization, but it isn't pointless.
Most people who read HN probably would never keep more than a thousand bucks or so in cash. Once you get a bunch of it, cash starts to feel "unsafe" and you deposit it at the bank, whereupon it becomes an obligation, a sort of "virtual currency" if you will. This "virtual currency" has various ways of being transmitted, and each way is at least somewhat reversible.

What about Bitcoin? If I have a bunch of it, can I convert it to an obligation with a reputable counterparty? One who will not store it in a form which makes it so easy to get away with, once stolen?

We can treat it like cash, but then we must wonder what we are doing piling up cash in our exchanges. Conventional exchanges do not work like this at all--there might be a good reason for that.

Correction: Backbone doesn't try to be the kitchen sink like Angular. Its source code is about 500 lines, and its docs say as much:

"Two way data-binding" is avoided. While it certainly makes for a nifty demo, and works for the most basic CRUD, it doesn't tend to be terribly useful in your real-world app. Sometimes you want to update on every keypress, sometimes on blur, sometimes when the panel is closed, and sometimes when the "save" button is clicked. In almost all cases, simply serializing the form to JSON is faster and easier. All that aside, if your heart is set, go for it.

Large business also means supporting old stuff. You can stop dreaming of HTML5 and start coding stuff working in IE7. Also, weirdo DMZ, weirdo User Right, weirdo proxy settings, ...

It is complicated, you have little clients that each represent a significant fraction of your revenue. They will pay well but drain your development team in pointless, unportable, customisations.

Large businesses is not a sexy world and companies catering their need are similarly not sexy.

American officials and aviation experts said it was far-fetched to believe that a passenger could have reprogrammed the Flight Management System.

Unlikely? Sure. Far-fetched? Not as far-fetched as many other ideas that have been floated recently.

I recently bought a highly realistic 777 model for MS Flight Simulator X [1], and it has a very good replica Flight Management Computer. Also, when you purchase the software, it comes with thousands of pages of manuals for the real jet.

You can see the FMC being programmed inside the simulator here [2].

Keeping 194 BTC in a hot wallet on your server is essentially the same as trusting $100,000 in cash to the minimum wage security guard at your bank. You'd certainly hope that the bank has procedures that he's going to follow correctly, but $100,000 is a lot to risk so perhaps a little extra security would be a good idea.

Mind you, you'd also rightly expect the bank to cover the loss if the guard just hands it over to a stranger.

Entirely agreed, this is what I was about to say as well. Being able to use html templates for me makes apps much less confusing and much more organized. Moving your html into your javascript just doesn't seem right. If there was a way that it would accept a mustache/underscore/other precompiled template I'd be all about it. But constructing html out of javascript functions and objects just doesn't sit right with me.

The idea that the Internet has removed middlemen is a persistent fantasy that has no basis in reality.

All the Internet has done is replace the middlemen. Tower Records is gone, but in its place is Apple, Google, Verizon, Comcast, AT&T, heck even the Pirate Bay.

And in case you hadn't noticed, big record labels are still doing just fine. They might make less on album sales due to piracy, but now they just require a cut of everything else before signing a new band.

France being divided into two colors in the mid 20th century was likely pointing to Vichy France (the government set up after the Nazi invasion of France in 1940). While most of France was de jure controlled by France, the northern and Western areas were continuously occupied by the Germans and this distinction is usually noted in WW2 maps and maps of Vichy France

There haven't been a ton of studies done, but the ones that have been carried out all show a perfect-use effectiveness of over 99%. But that definitely depends on how careful users are.
Yeah I agree. I'd be interested to see what that `rails_adapter` implementation looks like. In my experience, this sort of design often just moves a lot of the tricky questions about how to pass data around to the adapter instead of the controller.

Doing rendering based on the application telling the adapter what happened does seem to work pretty well though.
It is strange to see Angular labeled "large" and "monolithic" here, when it was blasted for being too small and simple by one of the Ember guys (http://eviltrout.com/2013/06/15/ember-vs-angular.html).

I have suffered trough JEE which is/was really humungous, and Angular is really tiny in comparison.

Kudos to you, it's alway great so see people talking about natural birth control methods without mentioning God or religion in the same sentence. It's virtually impossible to find good resources about the sympto-thermal method in English without landing on a very Christian-oriented website.

But I'm wondering: What's the business model you have?

I'm asking, because I'm in the same space. Mostly in Germany, but I also have an app for the English-speaking population: http://mynfp.net/

It costs 5.99$ and it's certainly nothing I can live from alone. However, the app is just an "appendix" to my SaaS business which is the same thing, but bigger and better, which generates revenue to be sunstainable in the long term.

fulfill his dream to work at Microsoft

I literally laughed out loud at that.

I talked to him at Evolve one evening with a handful of other devs while he does not explicitly say it (he is actually pretty humble) you get the impression that Microsoft would make him a distinguished engineer in a heartbeat if he would only say yes. Huge salary, millions in stock options and a write your own ticket kind of involvement like we saw when Russinovich took a job in Redmond.

Miguel is pragmatic, he sees one of the largest pools of developers (at one time the largest by far) and the opportunity to provide them with an exit strategy of sorts. They are bound to Windows now and Microsoft has to this point seen no value in giving those developers the tooling to take their apps out of the Windows ecosystem - so Miguel did just that.

Couple that with the fact that he saw C# and .NET for what it was, Java done right, and he got on board with the idea - but dont mistake for a minute where his heart is. He is a dyed in the wool lover of Linux. He respects Microsoft as a company and realizes that he can feast off their mistakes and doing big things.

Lines (chains, as per your article) have a "lot less area" than rectangles do, though. In other words, it's way, way easier to answer "what has crossed this line, at what time?" than "is there a needle in this haystack as large as Europe?", especially when the rectangle in question is basically of zero interest 99.9999% of the time, and you're tying up resources that could be pointed at China, North Korea, Russia, Iran, San Marino or other more 'interesting' places.

Furthermore, as your article mentions, they decommissioned some of that because it was too expensive and didn't serve much purpose with the end of the cold war. Even those guys' budgets are not unlimited.
This!

There are so many of these things but "Can I host it?" Is the one thing that I don't know of a solution that allows it. Seems like we need an open source one.

I agree with you that since your elements appear to not be a part of the HTML5 spec they must be custom and are directives, wouldn't it be a good idea to mark them as such in some way? Maybe prepend them with "an-" or something?

The reason being, considering that HTML5 is an ever evolving spec that it might be possible for a new element to be introduced that could be using the same name as one of your examples. That might muck things up a bit. At least visually, as I would imagine the directives would likely continue working the same as before. It's just that the "they must be directives" logic would fail in that instance.

Another factor is that technology improvements tend to favor increases in bandwidth over increases in latency (and there are hard limitations on latency, like the speed of light in distributed systems). This short paper by David Patterson is a great read on the subject:

Hey so think about this -- what if instead of a "staging repo" you just used branches? This is what they are supposed to be used for. In fact, you can make a pull request from a branch, then other developers can review it and the branch can be rebased and cleaned up before it's merged.
Thanks for looking it up. I'm still not seeing how to get to 4000 mg/day even with those high potassium foods.

4+ potatoes would be a lot for one day. 8 bananas would also be pretty extreme. As would 3+ cups of boiled spinach.

Mixing and matching those items would work but you'd have to really still work hard at it. And I just don't see enough of those items being in a normal daily diet to come close to 4000mg.

Even then, it's not like GCHQ would have qualms at using a spoofed cert (cert pinning could prevent this but isn't widely deployed), the express purpose of spooks is to use illegal methods.
So when methods like the rhythm method are used, it's a pretty bad idea (because it predicts fertility).

Performance is hard, but we should all be working together towards the things that matter the most. Latency is more important to optimize than throughput. Let's just focus on that.

I believe this is naive. First, it has no context. You optimize for what you need; there is no absolute best thing. If you have fantastic latency, but your throughput is not good enough to meet your needs, then, no, latency is not more important.

Second, while we tend to trade latency for throughput, it's not an even trade. That is, we tend to trade a small increase in latency for a large increase in throughput.

The insight the author had is a good one (although as others have pointed out, we've realized it before), but I think he oversold the conclusions.
Yes but LINQ also provides GroupBy() and ToDictionary() which can be used together to replace Where() or First() in subexpressions and restore performance. Simply banning a useful tool's use altogether just means you weren't any more willing to learn how to use the tool correctly than the programmers who were misusing it.
