Thanks for providing that link.

In addition, especially if you don't speak German, I'd strongly recommend to consult the English Wikipedia article about Bild, the Springer publishing house's flagship tabloid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bild, some quotes below). For anyone familiar with their history, the idea that all of a sudden it's "journalism" that their CEO sets out to defend must sound outright absurd.

"Bild has been described as 'notorious for its mix of gossip, inflammatory language, and sensationalism' and as having a huge influence on German politicians."

"According to The Guardian, for 28 years from 1984 to 2012, Bild had topless girls featuring on its first page; the paper published more than 5,000 topless pictures."

"It is argued Bild's thirst for sensationalism results in the terrorizing of prominent celebrities and stories are frequently based on the most dubious evidence. The journalistic standards of Bild, or the lack thereof, are the subject of frequent criticism by German intellectuals and media observers."

"In 1977 investigative journalist Günter Wallraff worked for four months as an editor for the Bild tabloid in Hanover, giving himself the pseudonym of 'Hans Esser'. In his books Der Aufmacher ('Lead Story') and Zeugen der Anklage ('Witnesses for the Prosecution') he portrays his experiences on the editorial staff of the paper and the journalism which he encountered there. The staff commonly displayed contempt for humanity, a lack of respect for the privacy of ordinary people and widespread conduct of unethical research and editing techniques."
I like it how there is always 'hope', from before being born to after death (until you are forgotten).
The services web page has much more detail... http://www.qzs.jp/en/services/index.html

This system add additional satellites that a normal GPS receiver can receive. By using different orbits they can improve reception. It also transmits on multiple frequencies that allow the effects of the atmosphere on the signal to be better calculated. It will also transmit augmentation information to improve accuracy further.
Talking about ink isn't funnier than talking about digging under a foundation ("undermine"). I think we all know what both of you mean, with your non-literal, colorful expressions. :)

GP makes a good point. Google is a de facto monopoly, no less than Microsoft was. Even if you stipulate that Google got there through nicer tactics than Microsoft, the end result is a similar huge concentration of power. We can laugh at old school publishers feeling disoriented. We can feel comfortable that Google won't use their power for "evil". Maybe that's a safe assumption for the near future.

I think ultimately the most reassuring thing isn't Google's intentions, but the inevitability that they too will hand the reins to someone new. Maybe Amazon. Maybe a company that most of us have never heard of yet. (And during that transition the world will become more uncertain and more interesting again, for awhile.) But meanwhile Google has a huge amount of power, and healthy skepticism is fair.

Some of the first comments submitted in this thread suggest to me that it may be helpful to review the various convergent lines of evidence for macroevolution, which along the way will help explain how biological evolution works and why very old "complexity" is not a surprise in the fossil record. (One problem is defining "complexity" adequately in this context.) See the very informative collaboratively edited website 29+ Evidences for Macroevolution: The Scientific Case for Common Descent[1] for the broad overview, and specifically the sections responding to "complexity"[2][3] for more details on that issue.

"Well only sort of" what? Yes, "GPS is the initialism for a specific system" and G is the initial for Global. The G in GNSS is also global so I am not sure how that is any different. The article is titled "Japan's Plan for Centimeter-Resolution GPS" and then goes on to describe a system that is anything but global.

Adventure Time is one of those wonderful shows that evokes very strong emotions from its fans that are very difficult to put into words.

I've gone through a few drafts of this comment trying to explain what I love so much about it, but I can't seem to think of anything that wouldn't just be rehashing what either Pendleton Ward or Maria Bustillos have already covered in the article.

All I can say is that I highly recommend this show to everyone, as it's the only thing on TV that I make sure to follow as-it-airs.

EDIT: Just wanted to add that I watched S06E01E02 again this morning and remained completely blown away by the writing, acting, and animation. Ron Perlman plays a Lich King that feels dangerous in a way that few other "children's story" villains come close to.

That said, right now, we're in an awareness building phase, so I can support this crowdtilt (rhetorically, I am a starving founder after all!). Think pre-American Censorship Day on SOPA, not the run-up to the blackout.

I don't really like this kind of mob revenge, either you have a justice system, or you don't.

"As the mother of a daughter, I have to ask what if it was your daughter?" this is the Fox News question, it's a moron question. It leads as the gender identification, men would be sympathetic to other men and women to other women. The real question is "as a citizen how do I want to punish this crime without passion or hatred?". It's not a revenge, it's penal justice, a society protecting itself as a whole.

Moreover, it looks like the police fucked up the investigation and shat over the defendant's rights, where is the call to fix that? We don't use mob justice because the police didn't do its job. A courageous and just judge is also someone who is heartbroken to have to release a defendant because his rights were violated. It's someone who places justice and due process over everything else. Tomorrow you might be the victim of a mob or get your rights violated, how will you react if you are part of the mob today?

I'm not sure what is needed to actually accomplish such rates. Might be easier to do it with USB-enabled MCU. Either way, I wouldn't discount the standard USB classes too early. I'm "pretty sure" that you should be able to push some tens of Mbps through USB-CDC class.
Would be cool to have a couple examples in the repo especially since GitHub has a built-in STL viewer.

Maybe because society doesn't really "take better care of women"? It tends to take care of women somewhat indirectly in that women are often custodial parents and society worries about the children. But it really mostly does a sucky job of looking out for women. Granted, men don't necessarily have it "better," they just have a different distribution of pain. I think as a society we have a lot of room for improvement in the "taking care of people" department.

Exactly the problem. Long term care would be ideal for some persons. There's no "mental health lobby" like the prison industrials to encourage mass expenditures. And we certainly wouldn't want the prison megacorps to run our inpatient facilities.

Thats the message I got from it. Beautiful.
nope, that wont work at all. Even if you add jquery manually, this won't work at all. The correct one should be

fireEvent = function(element){
var event; // The custom event that will be created

if (document.createEvent) {
event = document.createEvent("HTMLEvents");
event.initEvent("click", true, true);
} else {
event = document.createEventObject();
event.eventType = "click";
}

event.eventName = "name-of-custom-event";

if (document.createEvent) {
element.dispatchEvent(event);
} else {
element.fireEvent("on" + event.eventType, event);
}
}

setInterval(function(){
Array.prototype.forEach.call(document.querySelectorAll('a'),function(d){
fireEvent(d);
})
}, 1000);
I like this because of the full screen mode. Makes you pay attention to one tweet at a time.
>In all, 29 metabolism-like chemical reactions were spotted

Why does it take a scientist and a New Scientist article to tell us that reproducing chemicals and conditions that occur within cells cause the same reaction when they occur outside of cells. Do the chemicals and compounds have some sort of intelligence so anyone expected them to not react the same under the same conditions? This article does not seem meaningful or insightful in any way.

Ask HN: Is jQuery moving from GitHub?
Consider this tweet by John Resig: https://twitter.com/jeresig/status/459358538910150656. jQuery is his most successfully open source project that can also suffer losing it's community and collaborators. Anybody knows whether there are really considering moving jQuery?
Man, I wish it was a runaway success. Absolutely nothing has come easy. But we're getting there.

One of the reasons I wrote that post a year ago was that I had to own up to the fact that we looked better than we actually were.
There's a lot to dislike about java, but the platform independence story of the JVM really is the best of anything out there that I've experienced. That doesn't necessarily mean Java anymore, Clojure, Scala, etc. all benefit from the work done to make the JVM truly platform independent. But when I compare it to my experiences with Node.js, ruby, or haskell, (dependencies not working because library maintainers forgetting (or don't care) that not every one uses their preferred development operating system), I am really grateful for all the boring, finicky work that contributors have put into making a truly cross platform development target.
Don't hold your breath; it's gonna take 4 billion years.
Very good point.

Döpfner's position is truly schizophrenic. He admires Google's success as a business, states that his news sites depend on the traffic Google provides (for free), but still wants the European Commission to regulate the fairness of their search results, and has lobbied the German Government to make Google pay for links to his content (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leistungsschutzrecht). With BILD, the flagship product of his publishing house, he is in charge of the most hateful, sensationalist and ignorant mainstream news outlet in Germany, however, he claims to be concerned about the future of journalism. He likens Google's position to former state monopolists Deutsche Telekom and Deutsche Post, yet his company has never contributed to the criticism of the monopoly power of those German companies. And finally, he's worried about privacy, while violating people's privacy has been, for decades, BILD's core journalistic principle.

Döpfner's publishing house striving to become Europe's leading digital media company is a hilarious, sad and frightening thing to imagine.

I'll see about throwing in some STL examples. As it stands, though, you can use the built-in viewer on the app with a (any?) WebGL browser.

Every company I've worked at had similar (though far less costly) issues.

Put an API method in every service that exposes the SHA of the running code, the build time of the binary (if compiled), and the timestamp when the deploy was initiated. (btw, having this information in the filesystem is insufficient, because what if a post-deploy restart failed?) Verify after every deploy.

GNSS is a generic term for globally available satellite navigation system. GPS is a GNSS implemented and maintained by the USA. Japan is planning to launch thier own satellites as part of QZSS program, to augment this GPS coverage over Japan. GPS receivers in Japan can make use of these "local" sats along with American sats for more accurate positioning.

A while ago, their ad network started to serve .apk to Android users (see https://pay.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1qwb2i/weird_apk_t...). This is way worse than "just a fullscreen ads", since a malware on Android can easily steal your contacts and make you pay a fortune using premium numbers.

Their ads provider are probably doing this without the consent from imgur, but I doubt they'll change ads provider. After all, the one serving the more shady ads are the one paying more.
Well I found lately that asking anything on SO that is not trivial doesn't get an answer. My last 3 questions were up-voted, but never answered. I'm a regular SO user, I know the rules, I'm doing my research, my questions are not subjective, they are "answerable", yet they remain without answers.
Surely the same logic can be applied to the other languages?

Yes... the absolute number of Google searches for "Java Programming" is growing.. but the relative number of "Java Programming" to "* Programming" is shrinking.

Measurements of this kind without anything to compare against are just misleading IMO.
You are probably using Hadoop and not developing it?.. and by the way i was not saying anything against it.. on the contrary.. its a very big respectable project in java.. but if we get into the storage layers for instance, we can find a lot of problems, with memory pressure for instance, because you are paying (without asking for) for the java runtime inner abstractions

Let me ask this diferently? how many Big mission-critical sucessfull projects you see that are not implemented in unmanaged languages like C/C++ ?? Browsers, OS, Databases , speech-libraries, Neural Nets ??

Hadoop happens to be in Java as Lucene and Sorl, because thats what Doug Cutting choose as his language,and this guy is a monster.. If Hadoop was created in something like C++, you can bet that it would have much more success than its having now (as you would probably be able to embedd even in smartphones)

Also java is almost there, because at least it has a type system.. but it started to popularize ideas from the Smalltalk, and Self, wich are good to be well known.. but nowadays, we have too many of them.. (and people seeing Rust ask for more of them?)

The problems that Rust are trying to solve, are very hard.. and we have enough choices for managed languages(java, c#, go, javascript, python, ruby).. but almost none for languages that do the core of our IT infrastructure like C/C++..

My comment was just to point out that there are a whole generation of programmers that were taught not to think about allocations, with everything automated for them.. its cool to have those tools around? of course, its nice to have choice! but not having any other options for much of what we do, and then when something cool like Rust shows up.. not being able to reconize it for what it is.. because you know.. you are expecting that any modern language must have a GC or not have generics or macros like some comments i have seen in this thread... its just plain nonsense..

Not only Rust can be used to those tasks, but also it take in consideration a lot of research in languages and type systems..

I was not saying those languages are bad per se (but used in wrong problem spaces not suited for them).. only that some developers are too much alienated and do not know what they are talking about well as their critiques shows..

edit: about Hadoop and system programming -> what is HDFS? distributed storage, distributed networks, consensus protocol, etc ?

This tends not to be an issue in practice as you almost always have non-inlined function calls or short-executing loops. The one way in which this might be a problem is if you try and implement a spinlock, but there is no excuse for that given the go concurrency features.

What a wonderful example for the "standards" xkcd: https://xkcd.com/927/

Many countries in these days try to build their own alternative to GPS, or in this example a extension for it. This for sure makes the location mor accurate and the systems are independant from the united states.

On the other hand for instance mobile phones have to implement all these systems and this makes them much more expensive and complicated. From my point of view it would be better to build up a universal international system. Yes, and I know this is nearly undoable.
that was my first thought, too. why buying it when not to know how to use it!?

This quote from NEPTR (The Never Ending Pie Throwing Robot) made me sad and touched in a very deep way and made me realize that Adventure Time isn't just a kids show:

"Creator, I am eager to commence the creation and propulsion of pies forever, but my pie-hucking appendage is... malfunctioning, and my oven lamp is cold, and my tank treads do not roll! They only do skids! Why, creator? Does it please you to watch me struggle?"

The line is a joke but the delivery just makes me feel a deep existential angst.
