We haven't had government mandated net "neutrality" for the past 20 years and I've yet to see anything like that pop up. Lets keep the government out of it and let the two sides duke it out. Seems like it would be a poor decision for the ISP to make, because they'd be purposefully pissing off their customers.

I've wondered how well being The Oatmeal has financially treated Mr. Inman. Even with the popularity, does he still barely pay the mortgage? Olympic-size pool in the backyard full of $100 bills? If he's driving around in a top-shelf Model S, I guess he's not starving.

Regardless, very cool that Musk ponied up. Makes me want to go buy a Tesla even more now.
That's from 2012. This was a new plea for another $8MM USD.
That URL refers to Inman's first pledge drive, for $800k, to save the site. Musk donated $2500 and Inman raised almost $1.4m.

Inman is now asking Musk directly for $8m, to build a museum. The only primary source is this tweet - https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/466518346574626817 - which simply says "I would be happy to help."
On the contrary, he's a politician riding the wave of militaristic nationalism that he helped create. Patriotism and such have nothing to do with it.

I think that "no word about the keys" is simply due to a huge gulf in understanding. To the people giving out the advice, it's obvious that "reissue your certificates" implies "with a new private key", so obvious that they can't even imagine someone doing otherwise. It's easy to skip out on the basics that you're sure "everyone knows".
What's even more curious about this, is that many people are reporting that they like the page, even if they've never visited it.

I like the idea of &only as it greatly simplifies an understanding of the borrow checker. However, I think we still need to be able to mark things as immutable for things like rodata stuff, mapped in rom, persistent data structures, etc. And if we're going to be marking mutability, I would prefer immutable to be the default. It probably matters more for function arguments than locals, though.
The document that you linked to is the judgement confirming the legality of Miranda's detention at Heathrow. It's not a pierce of legislation; its a judgement. It doesn't compel detention, it just confirms that it was lawful [1].

The judgement was also handled-down six months after the event, so how can you claim that it means the UK authorities had to detain Miranda at the time?

[1] I've already said that I agree that his detention was valid (ie lawful).
I admired Tesla's research. Now I've heard his words on eugenics, my admiration only grows. Eugenics is not about killing people. It's about ensuring children are born into the best possible environment for them to succeed.

Left-wing metropolitan elites always seem to crush any debates around eugenics, but whilst we're not allowed to talk about it, it's happening here in 2014. Project Prevention are doing great work in sterilizing drug addicts (voluntary sterilization in exchange for cash) to prevent children being born into misery.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_Prevention

We need to stop reeling off Godwin's law straw-man arguments against Eugenics and consider why a number of national heroes (including Winston Churchill, Walt Disney, Theodore Roosevelt, George Bernard Shaw, John Maynard Keynes, John Harvey Kellogg) were proponents.
DevOps for mobile apps: challenges and best practices
The Decline and Fall of BIND 10 [pdf]
While quality of education varies with the professor, I would argue that it also varies with the student...possibly even more so.

Let's assume Instructor A teaches Introduction to Nordic Studies at a non-selective university. Two of the factors that control the design of that course (there are many, I'm just isolating two) would be:
-the instructor
-the students

In ideal conditions, the course iteratively develops into some dynamic equilibrium where aggregate student learning is optimal (yes, I realize this is fantasy).
Replace those non-selective students with students from a highly-selective university, while keeping the same instructor. Imagine how different the course might develop.

From a learning standpoint, if you are a student that is talented enough to be admitted to a highly-selective university, the latter course would likely result in you learning more.
In reality, there are a lot of other factors that impact the growth and development of any individual student, but all things being equal, if you are a smarty, you will probably learn more in a class with other smarties.
Wow! That is wicked-cool! Thanks!
My reading of the "debacle" was more that a fringe industry had been squatting on a particular band for a really long time, and was able to frighten a bunch of churches into complaining to Congress that they didn't want to have to buy new gear. I would understand that sort of excuse for AM broadcast, but why the hell don't wireless microphones run over more modern radio tech anyway?

Of course I don't suggest that cognitive radio could have existed in the 1930s. Instead I suggest that it should be given more room to operate now. So they had a problem demo seven years ago: what has happened since? Is it "off-the-wall" to wonder why licensing hasn't changed in response to the invention of the integrated circuit?

EDIT: I'm talking about opening specific, limited bands ("a few more spectrum slices") to unlicensed use, in precisely the fashion in which 2.4 GHz is currently open, although at higher power. Though I do dream of the FCC folding (in much the way I dream that of the DEA or CIA), I realize that in serious conversation with serious people one must focus on the tenable.

Well, we have strict advertising and trading standards laws.

I imagine that some simple hidden camera work would be enough to make UK agencies take action - perhaps fake customers of their own - and then take legal enforcement.

I am kind of surprised that "regulatory enforcemen as a service" does not exist. Many complaints to the UK ad regulator come from competitors in the same industry.

The UK government department with responsibility for business got into some trouble when they issued a leaflet about "dirty tricks" - which included (if I remember correctly) 'dumpster diving' to get information. (This would have been before 2003 and probably before 2000, bt my web searching is too weak to find references.)
While eugenics is indefensible, it was an extremely popular theory at the time with support from a large portion of the scientific community.

Right, Web Forms, and, really, HTTP and HTML, treat
the client like a 'dumb terminal', one with some quite
amazing capabilities but, still, 'dumb' in that the
Web browser is just displaying some pixels and the user
is just entering data via the standard HTML 'controls',
text boxes, radio buttons, check boxes, etc.

For my site for now, treating the user's Web browser
as a dumb terminal is what I wanted. One reason: There
is less, hopefully nothing, new for a user to understand
about how my user interface (UI) works.

But, yes, at times, a more 'dynamic' Web page could
be of interest.

Right, JavaScript running in the client's Web browser can yield much more 'dynamic' Web pages. And, with AJAX, still more can be done to have 'dynamic' pages.

But so far for my Web site, I have yet to write a single line of JavaScript. Somehow ASP.NET writes some JavaScript for me and sends it to the user, but I don't know what that JavaScript code does and hope not to care.

My guess is that if I want to
write some JavaScript somehow there is a way in
ASP.NET Web Forms for me to do so, i.e., maybe just
put my code in the file of JavaScript code that
ASP.NET writes and Microsoft's IIS sends.

You mentioned a phone: My Web pages are just dirt simple
and each just 800 pixels wide -- I hope that the pages will look good on nearly any device with a Web browser right up to date as of, say, five years ago.

For a 3G connections, at

http://www.pcworld.com/article/253808/3g_and_4g_wireless_spe...

there is a graph of 3G speeds by various vendors, etc. and about the slowest is 0.59 Mbps. Fine with me: One of my Web pages sends, including the JavaScript file, for about 400,000 bits. So, the page should download on the slowest 3G connection in about 1 second. If I take the extra blanks out of the JavaScript
ASP.NET writes for me, then the page should load a little
faster still.

At least at my site,
Web Forms is sending mostly just some HTML; maybe, I don't know, ASP.NET Web Forms is slow on the server, but I'm not seeing
just why what Web Forms is doing should be slower for the data transmission or the user's Web browser than
some other way of sending HTML.
I agree with you.

In my experience, the value in unit tests is in refactoring. I'd only write them as I refactor [to confirm the functionality matches before/after the refactor].

Most of the modifications we do to common libraries, etc. involve higher level rewrites that would break the unit tests anyway and the only way to confirm things still function is integration tests. :/

> What would it mean if gravity waves are never found, even by equiptment we are sure should be finding them?

We are currently far, far away from that point. We're just at the beginning of a long, statistics-driven process.

If gravitational waves remain elusive, that would mean there is something profoundly wrong with the way we understand relativity. To be fair, there is arguably a lot about gravity which we don't yet understand - but gravitational waves are pretty much a required feature in many respects.

For example, without them our understanding of the orbital mechanics of massive objects would have to be revised. It would mean that massive bodies orbiting each other do not lose energy due to gravitational radiation.

> Are there any theories of gravity that don't include gravity waves?

Not any credible ones that I know of, maybe someone else can present one?
Okay, I'll spend some more time with it.

Would it also mean that changes from gravitational sources would affect other bodies instantaneously? Or have we already proven experimentally that's not the case?

It's easy to absolutely hate Edison without being obsessed with Tesla.

As for his beliefs on eugenics expressed in that quote, they were very popular at the time and not even particularly illiberal by contemporary standards - being more associated with a sort of scientific socialism like the Fabians - unlike the beliefs of Ford, or Shockley, for example, which were far to the right of their peers.
> "A key employee quit. "

Maybe they felt unappreciated, or overworked. You employ them, you don't own them. Why is the modern workplace starting to sound more like slavery than a job?
I think you have to define, for yourself, what it means to finish. For example, I see 2 forms of finishing here that you may want to consider:

1. If you are doing this as a learning exercise, and you find yourself quitting when you get to the point where you are no longer learning, then there is nothing wrong with that. You are indeed finishing, in a sense, because you have set your goal as, "I am going to work on this project up until the point that I am no longer learning." So, you tackle the challenges that further and expand your learning. If learning is your desired end result, then you have completed your stated goal.

On the other hand...

2. If you want to do more than learn, if you want to take your ideas to the next level and put something out there into the world that other people will benefit from and use, then this is a different form of finishing. If this is what you want to do, and you find yourself bailing when you are no longer learning, then you will need to either 1) muster up the power to finish the boring parts yourself or 2) engage someone to do them for you. If you do not have the energy to do those pieces yourself, or engage someone to do them, then you may need to evaluate if you have passion for the particular project that you are working on. I wrote about this previously [1]. On a related note, I have also written about "Doing the Work"; it might be helpful to you as you work through finding your way [2].

One of the biggest challenges in life is finishing as it is defined in point 2, above, because it involves pushing through when the going gets rough and boring, when no one believes in you but yourself, or when things are crumbling around you as you fight to not lose sight of the personal vision that you have to bring your light into the world.

"And in truth, I've never known a man worth his salt who, in the long run, deep down in his heart, didn't appreciate the grind, the discipline. The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather... a lack of will."

US-American "moguls" don't get killed as often as their Russian counterparts. And even Russia is careful about being too obvious, lest the totalitarian nature of the state becomes common knowledge outside (or beware even inside) Russia...
It's win win win. He gets a short term political boost, Musk gets the rocket business and the US sheds reliance on Russia.

The "real" problem of Eugenics is that, much like Communism inevitably mutates in an ugly direction, no matter what Eugenics starts as, it virtually always turns into something really, really ugly where some group of people, no matter what pretty words they may use to draw a veil of obfuscation over their actions, are just killing off some group they don't like.

> You can't always apply modern standards of morality to historical figures.

That's fine, but lets understand that this applies to Edison as well. Tesla fanatics judge him by modern business practices and regulations, but Tesla gets the hand-wringing reply of "but but at the time..." which seems unfair.

Lets also get something straight, its one thing to have a positive view of eugenics and another to be a fervent supporter. Tesla published that screed in, what we would call a sci-fi or futurist magazine, and signed his name to it in 1935, during the height of Jewish persecution in Germany. As an educated Serbian I'm sure he was fully aware of this.
Eugenics generally gets lumped into the activities of the Nazis leading up to and during WW2. Because of this, most people probably don't know that the United States and its citizenry were fairly fond of it and put it into practice regularly: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenics_in_the_United_States
That does make them an excellent model for humans.
See sibling note by 'rayiner. FM as broadcast now is really old tech. Car radios would have to be updated to have cognitive radio capability, if this regulatory regime were extended to that band. But that doesn't have to happen soon; the spectrum is vast and could certainly accommodate more unlicensed use without inconveniencing this particular use.

EDIT: In case this is still unclear: I'm talking about opening specific, limited bands of spectrum to unlicensed use. I would not nominate FM radio as the first such band. Just as wifi chips today are capable of not interfering on bands they don't use, super-wifi transmitters would not interfere on bands they don't use.
Love this quote!

Super admirable that Mr. Musk is willing to help given his extremely busy schedule. Shows that he understands the importance of the public being more knowledgeable about the origins of what our present-day technology relies on.
He funded and lead the design effort, which may be as difficult as any particular design job involved in it. The tone of the article is a bit enthusiastic towards Musk, but in some sense, Elon Musk certainly deserves a bit of "worship".

That is an excerpt from the article, the flavor of the article is not objective. It tries on the surface to support Musk. Talk about "An overweight, spiteful, nationalist Russian politician named Dmitri Rogozin". However it also on a deeper level criticizes him (and the Russians for re-acting!).

So if you read it carefully it is written to support ULA. How so? Here are few points:

* "On its merits, the injunction should not stand." and basically talks about how most space and military related Russian enterprises are state controlled so this injunction should be lifted as unrealistic.

* It is criticizing the Russians, saying they just angrily react to Musk's provocation. So it tries to shame them based on their rash decisions.

* It talks about how Musk's rockets had one failure. And they did, but how ULA has many many more successful flights.

Now some those things are not lies or fabrications. One of Musk's rockets did blow up. And Lockheed and friends did have many more successful launches. It is just the style it was written and ideas it presents seem biased to me. And on this topic, we probably won't be seeing any objective or unbiased articles. On a higher level, this makes for an interesting study in PR relations.
Do you know the movie Idiocracy? That is basically propaganda for that idea.

Tesla: "prevent the breeding of the unfit by sterilization"

Who decides who is "unfit"? In the not too distant past, and possibly even today, that might include the non-white, non-straight, non-wealthy, etc. I find it incredibly scary that you could so easily agree that others should decide who gets to enact their human instincts. Let's face it, it would almost certainly be old, white, wealthy men that would make those decisions.
