Yes, that's the goal, a descent to land instead of water. One hopes SpaceX will be granted permission to move ahead with that scheme instead of having to perform more tests into water.

I'm sure there are safety concerns that have prevented this until now. The successful retro-file to zero velocity over water may help resolve those concerns.
Might be. Think there might be some psychology too.

Sometimes I'll go out to a bar and get absolutely shitfaced drunk (8 double G&Ts, for instance) and wake up the next morning feeling fine. I'll pour myself one drink at home before bed and wake up the next morning feeling like death.

A bit of energy exertion to walk to the bus stop and get home may have made all the difference.

Alcohol (ethyl alcohol) has no taste

But it does have a very distinct mouthfeel which is part of taste sensation. But mainly alcohol is very good a taking up the flavour compounds of anything you add to it. This is a really big factor in what makes alcoholic beverages distinct. Also the fermentation process breaks things down and releases flavour compounds from the thing fermenting in a way that is hard or impossible to get other ways.

But most alcoholic drinks can be duplicated without any alcohol and taste exactly the same

If this actually is the case, and I very much doubt it, why hasn't anyone done it? All non-alcoholic wines I've tested on the market today taste quite bad and bear only a passing resemblance to their alcoholic counterparts. If someone could make a non-alcoholic wine that could hold its own in a blind taste test against a collection of reasonable even just $20 bottles I'd be be beyond happy. I would probably even be willing to pay a premium over the cost of an equivalent bottle of alcoholic wine.

If its so easy as you claim it to be why are all current commercial efforts so incredibly far off the mark?
Having a robot juggling the hard drives would not make that much sense. The reason why we have optical disc and tape robots is that the tape and discs need a separate device that reads/writes them. With hardware there's not such need.

With hard drives it would make more sense to do some development on the electronics side and build a system where lots of drives can be simultaneously connected to a small controller computer. All of the HD's don't need to be powered on or accessible all the time, the controller could turn on only few of them at a time. And of course also part of the controllers could be normally powered off, once all the harddrives connected to them are filled.

A major thing Jobs learned in between his tenures at Apple is that it's not enough to design great products, you also have to design a great business model that can deliver them to market. Business model design is just as difficult IMO. (He learned this at Pixar positively, and at NeXT negatively. Pixar's campus is a great example of business design, along with their deal with Disney. This skill also sheds light on why he hired Tim Cook so early after his return to Apple.)

Whether Jobs would have learned the same without NeXT/Pixar is anyone's guess. I suspect he would have.

I find almost the opposite. The first couple of glasses of beer or wine of the evening is almost always the one that tastes the best. At the end of a long evening of drinking things just taste less and more muted and I'm far more happy drinking 'less good' drinks than I would be at the beginning of the evening.
You might even call it "community antenna television". The difference seems to be that in CATV, the community shares the one antenna.
Unlikely. Some assets will probably be distributed to depositors, but chances are you'll get less than 10% if anything.
Basically what happens under bankruptcy is the trustee sells all the assets of the business. From that revenue, the trustee pays any costs related to the administration of the bankruptcy proceeding, whats left over gets distributed to the creditors.

What you say is interesting, but how much time would he have lost before he could launch if he had to write a system from scratch?

On the other hand when using something ready like git allowed him to launch quicker. If he gets traction he can always write a new system later, if not then he has saved up on a lot of time.
This is the easy way out for them. Instead of battling the unjust done to their users, they simply call it a day and leave millions of people with non-refundable money they were trusted with.

I am absolutely certain the owners or at least an elite top at Mt. Gox have made a gain from this. Due to the nature of Bitcoin we will never 100% be certain where the coins exactly went, but it's highly unlikely they just vanished in air somewhere.

> He said a transpiler trasnlates from a higher-level language to a lower-level language

No, he said a compiler translates from a higher-level language to a lower-level language:

"You are technically correct in that compile already implicates a translation, but we usually use that term [= compile] refering to a translation into a lower level language"
So if something doesn't help the UX it's not worth having? In that world everything would be pure HTML.

I'm kind of wondering why they need so many different servers to fetch the file from the remote host.

It would be smart to at implement rate-limiting, and also delegate to a specific server close to the host to fetch the image, and then sync the image/file across their own networks to whatever server needs it.

It is just a huge waste of bandwidth that 100+ servers need to fetch the file, instead of Facebook itself absorbing the cost.

In the linked post, the difference between 1 & 2 emerge in most communities, it's the September that never ended, the inner circle pulling up the drawbridge at the sight of the hordes of outer circle people swarming in. Group 3 belong to group 2 and are hoping to jump to group 1 but just haven't managed it yet (and don't know what it takes).

The caretakers seek to either preserve things how they were, or to make it conform to some twee memory (sentimental, nostalgic imagining of how it was, which doesn't conform to reality... i.e. people imagining HN was once better even though pg showed that the quality in the past and present was similar) or unrealistic ideal.

I personally don't think the first two groups can co-exist peacefully without a degrading in the quality of the experience from the perspectives of both groups. To please either group will rub the other the wrong way.

My take is that communities work best with gated circles and steps of promotion. That there is progression.

I don't mean karma (the computer measurement of progression and merit).

I mean that this is a social problem and people solve it and not computers. That all communities are able to recognise themselves pretty well, and would organise themselves accordingly.

I mean cliques.

Cliques cannot be coded out of existence as if they are a non-meritocratic scourge. They are an entirely natural way in which people organise themselves and people will continue to organise themselves thus.

I think that attempting to apply a meritocratic measure (karma, a technical solution to a social problem) will always fail. It needs to be recognised that it's a social problem that merely needs technical tooling.

By which, I mean that these self-identified networks, hierarchies, groups, should be able to control access, visibility for their collaborative work.

In the context of Stack Overflow, it's obvious that the goal of keeping everything visible at the highest scope is to drive as many eyeballs to unanswered questions as possible. But I would argue that it is better to allow sub-communities to thrive and to allow them to control the granularity of those sub-groups... thus putting them in charge of how many eyeballs see their particular set of unanswered questions.

Just like HN, a single SO tends to be far too broad. Just like HN, SO would benefit from allowing users to create smaller groups within the larger scope to deal with ever more niche interests.

Communities don't scale, so allow them to perform their own version of cell-division to remain highly relevant to their members.

The cable tends to get damaged fairly easily.
To give you a real example, I recently talked with the founder of Neovim who chose Waffle to manage their large open source project (https://waffle.io/blog/2014/04/17/open-source-spotlight-neov...). The main reason they used Waffle over Trello was the integration with GitHub Issues (the Trello-Github integration options aren't great, and there's difficulty around trying to get people to update the status of work in a tool that doesn't tightly integrate with all of GitHub's Issues, commits, PR's, etc.)
A lot of them are USB low-speed devices, especially the older ones, and the USB spec requires low-speed devices to have fixed cables because they have stricter cable-length restrictions than other devices.

It's true: Stack Overflow has changed. It's not bad (yet?), but it is different. The discussion on the linked page focuses a lot on bad questions, and there are plenty. But it's also much, much harder to ask good questions. To some extent the site is a victim of its own success: whereas I used to ask a basic question [1] and get several up-votes and a good answer, now I ask a basic question [2] and get almost as many down-votes as up-votes, plus the answers themselves get as many down-votes as up-votes, including some answers I actually liked but the community decided were so bad they couldn't just leave them at 0, they had to push them down to -1 and into the leper colony.
Tons of comments and answers insist I had an XY problem [3] when I did not.

Some of it is because "The good questions have all been asked and answered," and some of it is that the legitimate complaints about absurdly low-quality questions have gotten people into such a mood that a so-so question from a veteran user makes them spend their own reputation to down-vote each others' answers.

Stack Overflow has an XY problem: the real problem is that a lot of questions are just bad because the barrier to entry has remained too low for too long, but it thinks the problem is the XY problem.

Loving SO. One of the best moderated site in the world. Yes it's not perfect but i've yet to see a site as big as SO with a better moderation,given all the crap that get posted and fortunatly moderated.

One thing i wish I could do is to star a question in the question listing without visiting the actual question,so i can pick it up later,like a quick bookmark.Also i'd like to see more questions per page.

Give one exemple of a QandA site that has a better system than stackoverflow at that scale(i insist on the latter).There is none,because nobody has done better.

Communities scale when they have strict rules that help promote civil discussions and interesting content.
I won't bother responding to your first reply.

To the second, your linked article cites a study that does not control for hours worked, choice of field, or most importantly being in an equivalent position, which I specified in my comment.

Here's the wiki article on the gender pay gap and a relevant quote:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Male%E2%80%93female_income_disp...

However, in 2010, an economist testified to the U.S. Congress Joint Economic Committee that studies "always find that some portion of the wage gap is unexplained" even after controlling for measurable factors that are assumed to influence earnings. The unexplained portion of the wage gap is attributed by some to gender discrimination.

Worth noting that this excellent book looks like it might be rather dry - it is also dauntingly large. However, the author takes a novel semi-fictionalized approach which actually makes it quite easy to read.
I wonder if a clique based karma method would work. You would be assigned to a clique based on your voting and posting history, and then see the karma attributed by that clique.
You will if it's bigger than the alliwed hand baggage size. It'll depend on the boarding team and how strict they are though. If it fits the box at the boarding gate and there is not enough place fir bags at the racks, if you are boarding last it's probable that they ask you to check it, in this situation they won't charge you.

Companies have different policies about baggage, and even inthe same trip you may have problems if a leg is operated by a low cost. Even if the ticket was bought through the main carrier.

As one of the answers on the OP puts it, "I spend an excessive amount of time as of late trying to find a question that interests me enough to do the research to answer it." Karma SO-style doesn't solve that. I think buro9 has some really interesting ideas that might.
Personally I have to visualize the person's name in my mind written out in plain text, then I remember that visual image of their name and associate it with an image of their face.

This isn't a technique I read about somewhere, it's just what my brain has been doing at least since I was 7 and learned how to read and write.

Typically when I try to remember someone's name, I'll see the first letter of their name in my mind and it's enough for me to recall and say/write their name. Other times if I'm having difficulty remembering their name, given some time (5-60 seconds typically) I can generally recall their name by reading the image of their written name I originally memorized. Often this reading is more of a hint towards a the concept of a common name I know of (like Alex, John, Maria, etc) meaning I don't need to recall and read it letter by letter. While if it's a more uncommon or obscure name (like Agnomemnonas, or Urania) I generally have to recall and read it out letter by letter.

Personally I think it ties into the fact that I memorize everything in a visual and three dimensional way.

I tend to have conversations about how people remember names, specially with new people I meet, and as far as I recall, I've only met one person who memorizes names in written form in their head. However a lot of people I've met tend to not remember people's names till they see them written on paper/screen, so they'll try to write people's names down at some point if they don't get a business card with the person in question's name written on it.

I don't think "keeping the site clean", as the linked author mentions, should be the goal of moderators, with the exception of obvious spam or questions so confusing they don't make sense.

Moderators who close questions they deem as "dirty" questions on SO (e.g. my question here [1]), remind me of the Wikipedia moderators who delete an article I'm explicitly looking for as not notable enough to be on the site.

I wonder if their psychological motivations are similar, as well.

That's the wrong question. Plus you've precluded any ability for me to answer with an example as "at that scale" requires something equal or bigger within the limited Q&A space.

The reason it's the wrong question is that Q&A is merely one form of communication that can exist within a community.

Conversations (forums) are another.

News/Link/Image sharing (the reddits, HNs, Diggs, Slashdot, etc) are another.

Even e-commerce has communities (through reviews and recommendations - Amazon reviews are an example).

Communities are merely groups of people that have a shared interest and agree to use some form of communication to collaborate around that interest.

I would argue that Reddit is a great example of a community that allows the type of division I describe (through subreddits).

Reddit shows that by doing so that they are able to keep the quality very high with a low and highly varied moderation policy at every applicable level of scope.

Communities don't scale. But providing tools that allow them to naturally divide into smaller communities increases the total size of that group of communities whilst retaining a high quality and low moderation effort within each area.

Edit:

You've edited to add another line, but maybe you want to read this: http://shirky.com/writings/community_scale.html (Audiences scale, communities don't) .

Also, I think the Tragedy of the Commons applies http://dieoff.org/page95.htm and on Kuro5hin back in the day that argument was made fairly well and relates to the problems of scaling a community: http://www.kuro5hin.org/comments/2002/1/17/21155/1564/46#46
