All of the above, really. It's a crowded country which strenuously objects to building across the countryside, so re-expanding the rail network is hard and the existing network is fairly full of passengers. The key ports don't necessarily have good rail links. Generally once containers are landed they're taken to a distribution center in the Midlands, taken out of the container and re-packed onto pallet trucks to individual stores.
You might like to see two of the Hoodie-ers talking at LXJS, and taking a skeleton app to supporting multiple users with data storage, the whole talk is 20 minutes, but the coding part is much, much less. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyjwlvwOoA4&hd=1
I do not think that the press from D-Wave is good for quantum computing in general. For this reason:

" I predict that the very same people now hyping D-Wave will turn around and—without the slightest acknowledgment of error on their part—declare that the entire field of quantum computing has now been unmasked as a mirage, a scam, and a chimera." - Scott Aaronson

If D-Wave fails it will cause at least a decade of non existent funding to QC in general because it will be reduced to the level of cold fusion in the press.
How can anyone possibly recommends draconian services like "Microsoft OneDrive" and "Google Drive" as alternatives for moving off Dropbox. This looks more about dropping Dropbox for the sake of dropping Dropbox, rather than anything else.

> The correct command has always been `find . not* -print0 | xargs -0 ~/code/random/args.py`

If you need to be portable, you can do pretty well with

find ... | sed 's/./\\&/g' | xargs command

This will only break with filenames that have newlines in them.

The reverse is very much true too.

Having seen what some new pilots make and the shit routes they get all this talk about how negotiations somehow favor them over senior pilots is odd, those negotiations are refinements of existing contracts which have always benefited those with the most years. They encourage staying at your airline because when you don't you fall in rank and pay, the same when you get bought out. Hence when mergers occur the different unions have to agree to their members don't lose out.

In a highly specialized and professional trade as pilots are I am still trying to see why a union is necessary.

Things like Shor's are more obvious in gate based architectures, and would likely be faster - unfortunately there's not been as much as much scaling in building those architectures. DWave has stated that they're also less interested in these sorts of applications, probably for performance issues as well as actual value. Enabling the NSA to break crypto is ok, but selling 20 general purpose systems optimizers for drug manufacturers, engineering firms etc. might be more profitable or more interesting to them now. DWave addresses this distinction here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-switch/wp/2014/01/10...

While a nice feat (32bit on <32GB heaps) 64bit pointers allows for storing metadata (more than 3bits* ) in the pointer itself. Having the class id alongside the pointer can be quite profitable. Other than that the 32bit pointers are a clear win with small heaps.

* If the hardware ignores the lower 3bits they can be utilized for various needs (e.g biased locking[0])

Things are changing in a way. There is Slide from Strava ( http://labs.strava.com/ ). Where you just roughly click where a path is and it creates nice path from its database of gazillion GPX tracks. It can be used as an iD editor plugin already. There are scripts for automatic lake and building creation from satellite images but most interesting thing seems to be coming from Digital Globe.

In this year state of the map USA ( http://stateofthemap.us/session/mapping-the-world-in-raster/ ) they said that this year SDK is coming where they would automatically draw buildings and streets from satellite images and you would get APIs to play with this and insert into OSM. (They already provide images to OSM through Bing and MapBox). So yes drawing streets and buildings isn't fun but you need people to know what is a street/cycleway POI and etc.. There are also projects for figuring out one way streets, max speeds.
Nothing that you do not control yourself can be considered secure. If you must use a 'cloud storage', consider it to tantamount to be 'in the public domain'. In other words, don't put anything in 'cloud storage' that you would not be happy seeing printed on the front page of the New York Times for all the world to see.
The hole campaign is a joke, they are blaming Dropbox for the crimes sanctioned by the citizen of the USA. Or do they really expect that a company like Dropbox cares about anything but money?

Laws in that direction existed already before. For example if you left your car unlocked and gets stolen you're partly responsible for damages caused by the thief with the car (e.g. if the thief ends up in an accident driving with your car).

Essentially it boils down to, if you're in charge of some resource that can cause legally relevant interference (acts of piracy, fraud, etc.) you're in responsibility to secure it.

The already existing laws just got a little adjusted.
"Just make engines" seems a little bit dismissive. Their marine division consists of a range of acquisitions which have spent the last 150+ years building pretty much every type of mechanic and electrical component on some of the most advanced ships of their time, as well as complete ship designs.

They may not employ a fleet of ship crew, but given that they keep winning large contracts, presumably companies that do have fleets of ships trust that they know how to handle ship-design and automation.

The Dangers of Stopping Event Propagation
We absolutely think that open sourcing code is important, but not just a giant lump of all of it; a mountain of code not always useful.

It's still early days for us but we are considering open sourcing reusable parts of our platform or allowing people to host their own if they wish, but we haven't yet decided on which we will pursue yet.

Pretty cool execution. However, in terms of usability, a 2D version with each side laid out would be much better, as the 3D cube just adds limitation and hides parts that could otherwise be visible. This would also more easily allow adding new samples, which is hard on a cube. Subdividing the loop would also be neat.

Ask HN: How do your organize your knowledge base?
Each day I discover, learn and enjoy some new information/aspect about the world while reading books, articles, comments, newspapers or discussion boards such as HN or Metafilter. Sometimes parts of it are good - say comments or sections in a HN thread/article or certain paragraphs in a book. Other times the whole is good - say a beautiful article in NYT that I like to capture along with my thoughts that will help me recall and enjoy the whole article later. Yet other times, I could find useful tips, any kind - technical, financial, spiritual, career or related to aspects of life.

All this information is certainly disjoint, covers multiple topics and very little of it is immediately useful. Unfortunately I can't seem to figure out a way to organize it. I have tried a number of techniques/tools - evernote, delicio.us, pocket.com, clipboard.com, keeeb, bookmarks, sending mails to myself, mindmaps, highlighting, tagging, text files stored on github, writing mails to myself and so on. But as time passes the notes/boards/links keep on increasing or I lose discipline/interest to maintain it and so I forgot what I have read, learned or collected. When I need something, I get the feeling that I know about it or have done it before but can't seem to recall the details - so i have to start search again. It's embarassing, frustrating and disappointing at times. I often wonder when people posts old links or recall wonderful information on HN threads that they read years ago - how do they do it?

How do you effectively summarize, organize and recall your knowledge base - the information/experiences that you collected over years, processed and digested?

It's just a question of time before a ship with a human captain will become uninsurable because the automated alternative is deemed safer.

It only seems prudent for a company like Rolls Royce whose marine division includes a substantial amount of ship automation and ship design to invest R&D resources into ensuring they're on the forefront of that development.
Because it doesn't really matter which company L was: the point applies across markets. When you finance all of your sales with only the products you make as collateral, market failures come easily.

An interview with Clive "Max" Maxfield – FPGAs and Embedded
"Max’s numerous technical articles have appeared in a wide variety of magazines, including ED, EDN, Chip Design, EE Times, PCB Design, and the electronics and computing hobbyist magazine Everyday Practical Electronics (EPE). Also, he has held contributing editor or executive editor roles at Programmable Logic DesignLine, Chip Design Magazine, SOC Central, and Everyday Practical Electronics. Max has presented papers at technical conferences around the world; e.g., in 2010 he presented at the Embedded Systems Conference (ESC) Silicon Valley in April, ESC India in July, and the Embedded Live Conference in London, England in October; in 2012 he gave the keynote presentation at the FPGA Forum in Norway and also a guest lecture at Oslo University in Norway.<p>Max is the author and/or co-author of a number of books, including Designus Maximus Unleashed (Banned in Alabama), Bebop To The Boolean Boogie (An Unconventional Guide to Electronics), Bebop BYTES Back (An Unconventional Guide to Computers), EDA: Where Electronics Begins, 3D Graphics on Windows NT, The Design Warrior’s Guide to FPGAs, FPGAs: Instant Access, and How Computers Do Math.<p>"When I say microcontrollers I mean microprocessors also — both of these are just about the most inefficient way of performing these calculations known to humankind because they do things sequentially, instruction by instruction, which is very slow and very inefficient. The only reason that everything looks so efficient and impressive these days is because we are talking about running out processors with clock frequencies around 2.4 gigahertz, which is pretty much the same frequency we use in a microwave oven. Scary! The end result is that we’ve got processor chips that consume a humongous amount of power.""
It probably varies a bit from what type of organisation you are running.

Then, listen to people, understand where they are at, offer something which means that they develop personally. Make sure everyone is really clear on what you are trying to achieve and then give them the rains to lead and achieve that together. My product development teams have a very strong idea of where we are going with the products and they do 95% of their work without any input from me.

Again, listen to people. Attend meetings, not to control things but essentially keep your ear on the ground for issues or friction then resolve it quickly with the person in focus. Also I attend meetings to inform people on what is going on in the rest of the organisation.

We run a very open organisation, so we discuss budgets and how we approach things very openly. Open discussions about how we are expanding are important. One effect of this is that we have very little in the form of politics in the organisation.

A lot of this can sound like clichés, and it is, if you don't do it well and with people in your focus. The organisation we run is there to support a great group of people doing great things. Not the other way around.

I think so, but not super significantly. I don't think that's so much the point though - the claim is that they'll scale much faster than moore's law. Given the likely end of moore's law, this is a pretty big deal. So even if they're mediocre now the claim is that they could be amazing in 5-10 years.

FBI’s Most Wanted
>The real threat isn't from alien intelligence, but from alien AI. A dumb AI, at that, of the kind that mindlessly travels the galaxy, self-replicates, and harvests material without discrimination. But again: a race advanced enough to develop such technology would probably be aware of the consequences of letting it run amok. There would be checks against that scenario by design.

Don't have too much confidence in that. If a civilization creates AI, it could possibly improve itself and become incredibly intelligent, but still keep the simple goals that it was originally programmed with. Thus endlessly self-replicating, consuming the universe to create bigger computers, or destroy threats to itself, or preserve it's existence as long as possible.
