If this story is correct, then the source of the problem is that the junior pilots accept the senior pilots as union leaders. If the junior pilots started their own union, the senior pilots would have less leverage, because if they go on strike, there's a replacement batch of pilots that can take over the most important operations, so the airline won't immediately vanish. So the unions need to come to an agreement where the junior pilots get better treatment.

Any example that you could, you know, share?
I was simply contextualizing CHY872's claimed savings.

The stated crew savings should account for a sizable chunk at 44% of operating expenses, unless capital expenses are an even larger share. I don't know the numbers and the article doesn't supply them.
The two major Belgian providers offer the same: Telenet only offer their own network, while Belgacom is a member of the international Fon network. I think both providers only offer the service to people with more expensive subscriptions, but I could be wrong about that.
Or, you know, male significant others could take up an equal amount of responsibility in the household.
The simple explanation why is that both problems are very hard to solve in isolation. Combining the problems makes it even harder.

That said, of course it is better to try to solve the real problem and not only the decomposition. I think that the focus on cheap compiler passes is a bit obsolete now. A cheap debug-build with some optimizations is good, but for a real production build where speed is needed I am willing to wait quite some extra time to get the last few drops of performance.

I've seen some researchers looking into solving the combined problem which feels promising. That kind of interest combined with the nice modularity of LLVM makes me quite optimistic that there will be nice results that are relevant both academically and industrially.
Jerry Cooperstein gives an "Intro to Linux" course on edX
The quality of the Macbook Air outweighs any downsides having to use OS X (which I agree isn't that great). And OS X isn't so bad that it's worth my while to try to run Linux on my Mac.
One more point on the AF 447 incident: sidestick control interface which failed to provide feedback for inputs supplied by the other pilot. Dubois was attempting to correct the aircraft's attitude but was frustrated in this by the copilot's erroneous control inputs. The flight control systems averaged the inputs.

Fail.
This is a great example of the different UX demands of pure creative tools. If this were for getting "work" done then it would be an awful interface: it gets in the way of you programming the result you want. However in the world of music, inspiration and serendipity are just as important, if not more so. An awkward-yet-still-fun interface can imprint itself onto the distinctive sound of a device just as much as any of the audio-generating circuits.

The 303, counterpart to the 808, is a famous example of this. Try and program in a preconceived, sensible melody and you'll be tearing out hair out. Bash in a semi random series of button pushes and the thing will produce instant acid techno.

The problem is that those unions seem to operate in a very short-sighted selfish way with no regard for the consequences or even the interests of their own junior members.

Thing is, I hear lots of stories about how American unions devastate their own industries. Why is that? Dutch unions make sure their members (including the young ones) are fairly compensated, but they are invested in the long term health of the industry, because that is also the long term livelihood of their members. Generally there are regular talks where employers, unions and government discuss this on an equal footing and reach an agreement that everybody can live with.

So why don't US unions work like that?
Extrapolating a bit there?
Generally, the hardware doesn't ignore those bits, so you'll need to mask em, and that costs some performance. All in all, it's probably a win, but it's not entirely free either. It really depends on what you're going to stick in those extra bits.

Java's assumption that you'll use those bits to address more memory is not a bad one; after all, for workloads between 4 and 32GB there's probably no optimization better than dramatically increasing memory density.

No. The quantum mechanics that "supports" many-worlds (as in, many-worlds seems to be the simplest explanation for the observed effects) has been in the realm of "scientifically proven fact" for >70 years. D-wave will not add significantly to the pile of evidence that already exists.

As for time travel, I can't possibly imagine how you think the two are related. Bell's Theorem was verified 50 years ago. D-wave will not add to the pile of evidence that already exists for quantum non-locality, it will not contribute to exploiting quantum non-locality for the purposes of time travel (if such a thing is even possible -- as we understand it, non-locality can't even be used to transmit information femtoseconds back in time), and it will not contribute to proving or disproving alternative theories for non-locality.
D-Wave was covered a few months ago by Lev Grossman <http://time.com/4802/quantum-leap/> in a much more balanced piece.

Thank you.

One of the main problems with Quantum Crypto is it's implementation. You can make claims of infinite precision, and perfect entropy, etc. The problem is when you move beyond a blackboard you will be limited by the amount the amount that can be measured, which working with a classical computer ie IEEE754-128bit floating points are VERY finite.

I routinely check the publication dates of books where technical information will have changed, and recently got quite irritated when Amazon mistakenly directed me to the First Edition (2007) rather than the Second Edition (2012) of a reference book.

In that particular case, the book was about the business and finance side of independent film distribution. Information on that topic from 2007 is about as useful as an article on optimising web servers from 2004 - there might be some useful stuff in there, but a lot of it will be seriously outdated and the landscape's changed beyond recognition.

I also find articles on rapidly-changing technical areas to be essentially useless without time context. For example, I'll automatically discount any article about the more technical aspects of advertising on Facebook if it doesn't have a date on it. Advice that was valuable on that topic in 2010 is often useless or dangerous to your business in 2014.
So basically, D-Wave are working hard to make sure there will be a Quantum Computing Winter, two decades of darkness and cold for QC researchers before the field can eventually get going again.

So without going into too much detail, yes it would have taken longer. The reason is that we were solving quite a few non-trivial problems in terms of updating geographic road data. Just as an example, a small part of the data entry tools ended up being a road router similar to the one provided by Google Maps, but tuned to our use case. This tuning took quite a bit of work. Another piece was splitting the graph of all roads at each intersection. The algorithm here was simple enough but figuring that this was the right solution took a while.
The core tenet of those particular unions. It's not even remotely a requirement for unions in general. Plenty of unions in the world have a much healthier way of operating. Are there specific laws in the US that force unions to operate in such a destructive manner?

You are definitely on the wrong side of the derived works line here, and if your articles are not easily identified as yours that is because in my mind that only means the source has been obfuscated enough that I can't easily trace them like you do with the other stuff found on your site, but you're going to have a hard time convincing me they are original now. If you do not have an agreement with the original source of these articles then you are in breach of copyright law. That may be a conscious decision on your part though.

I would definitely support a ban in this case but at the same time I think there is a need for properly accredited translations (good ones, not crappy ones like these where according to one of the authors lots of nuance got lost) of good content found on non English language websites.

Maybe this is something the people behind Hacker News Magazine could look into, they seem to have the right attitude when it comes to re-using content.

> We do have a lot more leisure, but it is distributed at the tails of our lifespan, the times of lowest productivity.

That's fine, for retirement. But this viewpoint presupposes that kids' education is not productive, if not immediately and directly, but eventually and indirectly (eventually as adults, indirectly as productive members of society, which is more than being trained to do some specific job). Kids spend, what, 10-13 years on elementary and high school (and equivalents). And that is not even counting the ones who go into higher education.

Supposedly, this elementary education is necessary in order to be productive in a lot of modern jobs, and in order to be a productive member of modern society - society is certainly more complex than when your whole society consisted of your family's farm and neighbouring farms and a nearby village.

The only thing which might be said is unproductive with kids' childhood is the long summer breaks. Which is, perhaps ironically, a remnant of the past where kids needed to productive on their family's farm in the peak season (though I have for that matter gone to elementary school with the kids of farmers, who needed to be excused from school for some days because they needed to herd their sheep down from their gracing areas).

And to be nitpicking - when you worked with FPGAs, you probably didn't do assymbly code either. Unless what was implemented in the FPGA was a cpu core.

FPGA design is not writing a program with instructions that are executed by a processor. It is describing real hardware with registers, wires, memories, pins and logic gates. This description is mapped onto the actual resources in the FPGA. The result might be a CPU that can execute instructions available as bit values in a memory, but quite often it isn't.

I know this is nitpicking - but as a HW designer I really have a problem when people use the term "FPGA programming". ;-)

"You can, and should, make the strategic decision that you'll primarily write things which retain their value."

I'm a huge fan of Patrick's, but I couldn't disagree more on this point.

Choosing to write primarily about evergreen topics is ONE valid approach to creating value, but it's not the only one.

It's equally useful to write about topics that people have a burning desire to know more about, even if that desire will fade over time, provided you are building that knowledge into your strategy.

For example, one of the sites I run provides accurate, up-to-date information on optimal builds for World of Warcraft characters. That's the very definition of information that becomes rapidly useless. However, the time it takes to write those guides compared to the value it provides to me (in terms of advertising revenue) and my readers (in terms of giving a quick, accessible answer to a question they really want authoritative information on) makes those guides a very solid business proposition.

Likewise, I started an information site about the Oculus Rift a while ago. Again, everything on there is going to go out of date relatively fast - but whilst it's relevant, it's extremely relevant. And that allows me to build the site on a very small time investment and be in a good place to ride the wave of the DK2 and consumer release.

This is HN, for goodness' sake. Half the things we're likely all interested in are ephemeral. Anyone ever searched for information on Ruby on Rails configuration? Or Heartbleed? Neither of these topics are unlikely to change over time (said he, looking sadly at the wreckage of his Rails 1.0 sites), but it's still a solid decision both for business and value-creation reasons to write about them.

However, choosing to focus on evergreen topics is also a valid strategy.

(The rest of the article, by the by, is fantastic advice, and by the end of the week my main site is likely to be split into "news" and "articles", the latter of which will have a significantly deprecated - but still visible - date field.)
When I recently moved, the house was not yet completely finished, and not in a state where we could call our ISP to install broadband (we had to run coaxial inside first).

Luckily, my neighbor ran an open wifi hotspot, so we just used that for a few weeks. Sure, it was a spotty connection, but it did let us keep up on email.

I'm paying it forward by running an unencrypted 'guest' SSID, isolated (VLAN) from my encrypted SSID. Many consumer-grade wifi routers support this setup, and I can't see any reasonable excuse not to do this as a courtesy to visitors and neighbors.

The Bahamas and Switzerland both have a large number of off shore bank accounts. So there are more parrallels between them than between the Bahamas and Afgahnistan. It could also explain why the name is not being disclosed as the uproar in Switzerland would be huge.

This is bullshit. If you are working at Walmart you can't just take the day off on a whim nor would you because you can't afford it.

Can someone explain this to me? How does your ISP know that you're running an open wifi network? I doubt they drive around to every customers checking for them.

That said, I've been thinking about running an open hotspot. If it's on a different vlan, with only port 22/53/80/443 open and speed/number of connections throttled it shouldn't cause any problems for anyone, and it's just a nice thing to do.

Summary - if you don't want to break the web you should do this:

1. If you must use Javascript templating, inline the JSON into the document.

2. If possible, actually template the document too.

Yes, single page apps are faster (because of the joke called javascript loading ... yes there's async, but it's broken, and you can load a script to load other scripts, but really ...). Except for when they load. Then there's a trip to your server, a trip to the CDN for the Javascript, then another trip to your server to get the document you wanted.

Inlining the JSON saves 1 trip. Having the document already prepared saves another (since most browsers will render before the Javascript at the bottom).

You won't notice running on localhost. It probably works ok on a good connection, if you're located in the same timezone. But with 200ms latency (on a mobile) and two round trips (plus your initial get) it makes a difference. And people using lynx or no-script won't tell you they can't read your site.

For the ~80% of people who only visit your site once, this is close to optimal.

You could trim it down a bit by querying your document, and building your data model from the static content, but that's just over engineering.
As a non-native English speaker, the title bothers me : "Bigger" introduce a notion of comparison, so where is the "than" in the sentence ? Is it valid in terms of syntax?
