A few problems with the Sydney stores too.

They show it opening in Sydney (Homebush Bay) in 1975 - that was actually Atarmon. I don't know when it closed.

At some point they had one in Moore Park, but I believe that closed when they opened the Rhodes store.

Now there's the Tempe store.
Given these people's immediate reaction to resort to scraping, I'm honestly kinda surprised they didn't setup basic practices of at least going through proxies (or free ride off of Tor, ugh).
Why would it make any difference if one used different currency's.

As the currency of money is not known it is pretty obvious that one needs to store that in another column.

Some of it has to do with controlling costs. The FIA contract out some of the more common technology (which is so tightly controlled that there's no room for real innovation) so that teams can spend their budgets on increasing performance.

One example is that McLaren provide a common ECU to all teams[0]

I'm fascinated by the distinct types of structures that gravity and other forces create at such large scales. The really zoomed-out views of the universe remind me of neurons in a microscopic view of the brain.

When I was researching this stuff last year, I tried to use the Millenium Simulation (the world's largest n-body simulation at the time, 2 billion cubic light-years) to visualize this effect using webgl, but wasn't quite satisfied with the result [1]. Thanks to Illustris I've found out that one of the researchers on the project has created several excellent visualizations that seem to use some of the techniques from the larger simulation. They are worth taking a look if you're interested in visualization/simulation or how galaxies form [2].

Very little of this follows PEP8. The code appears to have been written as tersely as possible, even in cases where it would have utterly no effect on the 600 SLOC limit.
These seem helpful, particularly in multi-round negotiations (which is pretty much anything in silicon valley, but actually isn't a great model for a lot of transactions in the wider world, unfortunately), but for me, the single most important key to getting good outcomes from negotiations is pretty simple:

BATNA. i.e. know what your best alternative to a negotiated agreement is before starting negotiations, and be able to walk away. As long as I have that, it's easy to be dispassionate and rational (and thus polite, honest, thorough, good at documentation, etc.)

Indeed, thanks for clarifying my overly dramatic point with a more proper definition of the Birthday paradox.

Yet, even once corrected, 50% chance for collision in a set of 2^64 UUID (which can occur way earlier than 2^64) is way too much for me to go to sleep at night, knowing there are more efficient, smaller (often twice smaller, ex. 64bit PK instead of 128bit PK), guaranteed collision-free ways for producing PKs.

And there's another problem with UUID collision rates. Many versions of the UUID rely on PRNG, and PRNG quality varies wildly from system to system.

A defect in the PRNG (it has happened) can start producing UUID with orders of magnitude higher collisions than the model offers. It's a problem that's better not to have.
Yes, it was sarcastic - I wouldn't let everyone carry a small nuclear device either.

How to get back net neutrality FAST (for tech companies) – hardcore edition
If YouTube, Netflix,... can detect on which provider they end-user is on, the end-user should receive a message like:

Short:

"Youtube is inaccessible to Comcast, your ISP. To get back your Youtube access, protest here (link), write CEO Comcast (email) or address your politicians (here). We have also created a 'For the people protest'. In case you want to switch providers, these seem to be your options: 'page with providers according geolookup'"

I hope we will soon be available again!
You can contact us concerning this on support-netneutrality@youtube.com

Sorry for your inconvencience, this will hopefully be resolved soon,
CEO Youtube

-- click for long version --

Because of Net neutrality (wikipedia link to net neutrality), we can't guarantee stable access without paying. This would be a huge cost for Youtube and we are unwilling to pay for a service that is provided to / paid by the enduser (you)."

There are thousands of ISP's in the world, we can't pay them all off for 1 billion people. We have the option to protest now (and hope you join us) or to raise our prices in the near future, for something you are already paying for.

In support of net neutrality, we oppose the following ISP's: "list of ISP's". In the next days, they will receive a crippled internet, without access to the following services (list of tech firms / websites blocking their services for those ISP's).

AUTOREPLY on support-netneutrality, with more info. Mailinglist for everyone who sends to support-netneutrality.

Make this open software, so everyone (all other tech companies) can use this and can set this up fast.

This will hopefully be resolved soon, contains a link to a status page (and the only Twitter Account that can be viewed?), with some messages, eg:

Facebook joins Strike for Net Neutrality freedom

Netflix joins Strike for Net Neutrality

Could someone explain why array writes are so expensive? I understand that a write would mark a cache line as dirty (significantly increasing eviction time cause you have to write-back) and that it could probably prevent the compiler from enregistering stuff. However, I don't get the aliasing and the "a write is really a read and a write" argument.
Jup I recommend creating [Postgres domains] for everything that is not specifically already a Postgres type.

Want to store an order id create a OrderId domain.
Want to store weight create a gram domain.
Want to store quantity create a quantity domain.

That way it becomes much more easy to spot logical errors and maintain data consistency.

Also one can use it to create something like an auto ORM.

[A domain Is like a user defined child type of the system types that can have some extra restrictions.]
Edit: and there was no contract or anything written so i guess im pretty much screwed.

Depends on your jurisdiction. Depending on how long you worked and how vindictive you feel, perhaps talk to a union rep or a lawyer. Even if you didn't explicitly agree to a particular pay, it may be assumed legally that you get some sort of pay for the job you performed.

So they would need to build a pipeline through Mexico and then purify the water?

Because if they used raw sea water it would likely cause problems as the evaporated spray left salt. How much energy is it going to take to build that pipeline, pump water in and purify it?

It's a cool idea, don't get me wrong. I just wonder where the water is coming from. That whole area already doesn't have enough water.
The one snag I see in this is 'Gather your Chips'. In the modern consumer-corporate environment the customer has only one chip: money. The corp holds all the other chips ( quality of service, timely delivery, terms of contract ).

More often than not the customer won't be in any position to negotiate other than declining to take the service. For a big corp that's no real loss.
Domain business is one of the most shadiest business on the web. I wasn't aware of the verisign fees but honestly, it is about time to either disrupt whole domain industry or start democratizing it. Every registrar company take its users for a ride.
I still think Firebug + WebDevelopmentToolbar + FF Web Dev Tools is the greatest combo for any browser.

Do I need to do any web dev work? Just do it in firebug.

Do I need to drastically change my browser's behaviour? There's probably a setting for that in the web dev toolbar.

Do I want to do anything that involves monitoring or changing the browser itself? check the FF web dev tools.

Between the three, I don't understand how people can claim chrome has a superior toolset.

Actually, it does follow. If there are particles of the energy described in the original link, there are many more particles of lower energies also hitting the Earth's atmosphere, including energies accessible at the LHC. And none of these resulted in the Earth's destruction.

The same logic applies to the argument that any black-holes or otherwise dangerous particles would simply zip by the Earth (stated in a sibling comment to yours). Particles of slightly lower momenta come in higher numbers, so these would produce the dangerous particle, but not retain enough momentum to escape. Since the Earth has not been destroyed, there are no particles produced at low enough energies for us to destroy ourselves.

If you Show HN, and someone takes enough time to give it, that's valuable to you no matter the tone.

"Didn't get it, not wasting any more time" is an incredibly valuable comment to receive because it helps you understand the most common occurrence for your home page, someone landing and immediately moving on. You'd normally never get feedback from that traffic and not know why they bounced. Now the builders know what to fix to increase engagement.
PF_RING is an option but it requires a kernel module and specific network cards. Before then, the memory map sniffing feature of the Linux kernel [1] can improve libpcap performance. Not quite to 10G speeds, though, but I think enough for most cases :-)

Close to nothing would happen. The relevant quantity to understand is the stopping power (usually referred to by us physicists as dE/dx). Stopping power drops significantly as energy of the charged particle increases. So for very large energies, very little of that energy is deposited over a given distance (in an absolute sense).

This principle is how some radiation therapies work to treat cancer. Because the stopping power curve for protons is well understood, a proton beam can be tuned to deposit all of its energy is a fairly small area.

Aside/Rant: this question clearly can be answered by someone with expertise in the field. So why did people feel the need to speculate about it instead of just waiting for someone who knows how to answer it?

Doing Math vs.Thinking Mathematically: What's the Difference?
This is called a boustrophedon decomposition[1] (the name comes from the movement an ox makes when plowing a field). It's used for minesweeping robots among other things. Constructing the decomposition simultaneously covers the space being explored, so a robot can explore and mow grass at the same time. Applied as a coverage algorithm, it's much more efficient than a random walk.

The robot is usually modelled as having a non-zero footprint since coverage is often a goal, but a radius of zero can be used for exploration. To explore a space with minimum obstacle radius R and robot radius r, each sweep can be 2(R+r) units wide.

Apple Legal Process Guidelines for US Law Enforcement
My thoughts exactly. This is one part favouritism and the other part double-dipping (a.k.a greed). Another metaphor adding onto your example is the local or state Government charging individual car manufacturers to use certain public roads like highways.

"We've determined more Fords drive on this particular than any other brand of car, pay up or Ford vehicles will be intentionally limited or cut off from using this road" — Users (or in this example motorists) have already paid the appropriate entities; car registration, licence fees and insurance, now the road authority wants a cut from every car manufacturer because they're responsible for the roads being used.

When you put it all into perspective with those metaphors, it really highlights how damaging and ridiculous anti-net neutrality laws could be for the Internet.

Ask HN: Another startup or a comfortable position?
I am a full stack engineer.

I have been doing startups since I was 21 years old. Since then, I experienced consecutive failures in 3 different startups, being a technical co-founder in all of them.

1st startup: After bootstrapping the company for 2.5 years (launched after 1 year), team fell apart due to drama relating with equity.

2nd startup: Company received $500k in funding, burned through it, launched within 4 months, and died when it failed to pick up traction. Lasted 1 year.

3rd startup: Company received $100k in funding, finished MVP within 3 weeks, launched, failed to pick up traction. Lasted 8 months.

Ever since, I've been planning my 4th startup, and have managed to finish the MVP on my own, while working at a full time job. It's been 8 months, and I have found a solid team to get this company off the ground. We just finished our homepage and is ready to launch this week.

However, I recently received an offer from a very successful startup, with high salary, stock options, and awesome benefits.

I am at a crossroad right now. I have no idea what to do next.

Startup life is tough, and with each and every failure, I felt devastated. I've been poor most of my life, but I've been doing my best at not giving up and have learned tremendously through each failures.

If you were in my position, what would you do?

If your signup process is understandably complicated and you require a minimum commitment of $2500/mo, then it's probably okay for you to tell potential customers to give you a call.

If your signup process can be automated and you only charge $25/mo, and you still tell people to give you a call, then you will lose business because 1) the friction of a phone call is worth more than the difference between your offer and a competing offer; 2) it's impossible to tell whether your offer is worth the friction in the first place, because your pricing is unknown; and 3) people just assume that you'll charge $2500/mo because that's the usual price point where people say "contact us". If someone else comes along and offers an inferior product for $35/mo, they'll get all the business because monkey psychology.

I think because the common usage of birthdates doesn't take the timezone into account. e.g. if you were born on January 1st 9pm PST, that's January 2nd 12am EST – but your birthday is still considered January 1st no matter where you are in the world. So trying to correct such dates for timezones will show users their incorrect birthdate.
