Nassim Taleb is compiling his own aphorisms in this document. And he said that when he reachs 500 he will write a new book. Awful title change.

One of the advantages of having a Linux front router on your home network is the ability to run your own caching nameserver for the whole network.

And if you install a VPN server there, and VPN clients on your mobile equipment, then you can also access that nameserver from anywhere.

I know that it's straightforward, I'd like to hear about pros and cons I haven't found myself.
To me personally there is big difference between spending millions in R&D to develop something novel that would have never happened and spending millions in R&D just to make sure you get there first. I rather have something 6 months later free and clear than having to wait 20 years for a patent to run out.

It's a difference between creating something no one would have otherwise, and simply winning a race to claim property rights on something.

Which is really pity, but you can't expect too much.

Watching the presentation, I felt that Elon wants to make an impression of XXI-century spacecraft - but he doesn't want to get into shoes of Doug Engelbart making a thing so great nobody will pay him to fully use that. No, Elon firmly wants not the perfect, but profitable solution. Which is very understandable.

There are multiple places where SpaceX could really try to do better. The problem is, they'd spend much more money and time and get much less predictable results. Considering they already pushing envelope pretty hard, it's likely a wise decision to also use some more proven technologies.
There's 2 (stable) kinds of heavy water : deuterium and tritium. Deuterium is perfectly safe, and it's heavier. Nobody's ever drunk it in even tiny quantities though, so there could be surprises.

Tritium is only arguably stable though, and you definitely should not drink it. It's perfectly safe to swim in it though, just keep it outside your skin.

Drinking deuterium is going to be very expensive though, given the effort necessary to separate it. Poisoning someone with tritium is going to be more expensive than pouring molten platina over them though.

Any preference for the oxygen in the cubes ? O16, O17, or O18 ? O16 would be the "common man" oxygen. All three are safe. None of the other isotopes are stable enough to be produced in significant quantities.

Making heavy ice cubes out of H2O with the O17 is probably the cheapest "nuclear" way to produce heavy ice.

Cheaper than I would have thought.
Pro tip: get in line sufficiently before closing time that you are guaranteed entry. Proceed through the first few rooms, then loiter. Move much slower than the horde of crowds flowing through the halls. Spend an hour looking through the early exhibits (I could spend a day in the room of tapestry maps alone), until the entrance is closed and the crowd thins. Make your way to the chapel and enjoy until they kick you out - I was in there for 15 minutes with just a few other people! (Albeit in October, not "peak" season).
who knew "heavy water" was a thing? Unfortunately it looks like consumption is not recommended.

Wouldn't that break the whole point of links and page rank? I link to things I genuinely like or find useful. The only things I nofollow are things I bitch about, because I am petty and don't want to give them any google juice. Other than that, a link is an endorsement, and if Google doesn't like me "liking too many things", that's Google's problem for not understanding websites that are the work of love.

I vaguely remember in Dawkins' book that he said he was going to put a touch-sensitive screen near some flowers to see if any of the biomorphs would attract bees. The idea was that the biomorphs would evolve to be ever more pleasing to bees, and it would be interesting to see what patterns they took. Does anyone else recall this, or is it a figment of my imagination? I don't suppose anyone has tried this? Could be fun to try with an iPad.
Is that why I was downvoted?

This is hilarious, because we can all guess why.
Personally, I don't think the community reaction has been overblown at all. If nothing else, they have acted in profoundly bad faith by soliciting free work from the open hardware community in exchange for the promise of an open hardware business model.

They can't just say "you guys should design a bunch of stuff for us for free, but any minor improvement we make is proprietary and WE'LL SUE YOU INTO THE GROUND IF YOU TRY TO USE IT IN YOUR DESIGN!".

Patents and closed source software are the enemies of the Open Source Hardware/Software movements. They lied about their intentions, and people feel betrayed.
If they had been up front about their business model, I suspect they would have not received as much support from the community as they did - support which was instrumental to reaching the status that they have.

During rocket racing several years ago, XCOR participated with a rocketplane - a plane which only has a rocket engine as the sole mean of motion. They did two back-to-back flights. Between wheels stop and wheels start they had to prepare the rocketplane for the next flight. They did that in under 9 minutes - about 20 people simultaneously working on the plane, checking and loading with pressurized gases, fuel (ethanol, I think) and oxidizer (LOX).

I doubt Dragon will have turnaround in minutes. But in days, under a week - I think it's quite possible, as a routine operation.

> If it was a common and global practice and everyone on the the Internet ran his/her own local unbound dns cache, how would the root DNS servers fare with the additional load?

Anycast solved this ages ago. Also, the TTL on most TLDs is 172800 seconds, so you'll have NS entries cached for the 'com' 'org' 'gov' etc. GTLD servers almost immediately and then never bother the root servers again for two days.

The Japanese game industry is a great place to look if you want to see companies that understand this principle. Companies like Atlus (now owned by Sega) are almost as big as any other AAA developer or publisher, but they've flourished by producing concentrated, well-polished semi-niche titles, with (by modern standards) fairly small teams and budgets, and doing it consistently. Their games give me a similar feeling to a lot of the games of the 80s and early 90s, which were made by core teams of under a dozen (or even half a dozen) people that were still (unlike modern indie games) supported by large corporations and not just a couple dudes in a basement. It's a "third way" to the game industry (compared to the West, where there seems to be little in-between the indies and the AAAs for whom millions of sales is a failure) that is arguably closer to its roots than either.

the UI is fantastic. What type of job seekers are you focused on? It looks like there's a technical focus to the listings and the "self" descriptions.
Speaking as someone who contributed a few scrapers to the inspectors general project (https://github.com/unitedstates/inspectors-general), I think this is a great and worthwhile effort. It's actually not that hard to contribute a scraper if you know a little Python (and maybe a way to learn a little Python if you don't).

One thing that my friend who works in Open Data has told me is that it's important for websites like this to exist, to be able to point non-technical people at them and say "SEE. THIS is why you can't just publish everything as a PDF".

Well [2] ... I don't think they're kidding.

Please note that oxygen, even if mildly purified from what's in the athmosphere is one of the most destructive substances there is. If you're standing in 72% or more oxygen, a cough will burn you to a crisp. Much of the age related damage in human bodies is ultimately the effect of too much oxygen in one place at the same time.

I know how it sounds, but please do keep in mind : oxygen is toxic, makes anything corrode, burn or explode (literally, you can coax half the noble gases into burning in sufficiently pure oxygen). Keep in mind the human body consists of water, carbon, oxygen and nitrogen. Everyone of those will react violently with oxygen, and while athmospheric concentrations are obviously safe, concentrated oxygen is NOT[1]. For the love of God, DO NOT aim a can of pure oxygen at a flame.

And yes, concentrated oxygen can keep you alive with a damaged lung system (e.g. done to newborn infants, post-operational care, etc). Please do not confuse that with the idea that it's good for you. Please remember that 2-3% of people that that is done to end up with severe burns on their body (due to something unexpectedly catching fire with pure oxygen aimed at it). This is with professionals handling it.

This sounds like a great project! Worth bearing in mind though that computer screens only output in RGB, whereas the colour vision of bees is shifted to that of people; it's more G-B-UV than RGB.
My best guess. From RFC 3986 (link below)

For example, the semicolon (";") and equals ("=") reserved characters are
often used to delimit parameters and parameter values applicable to
that segment. The comma (",") reserved character is often used for
similar purposes. For example, one URI producer might use a segment
such as "name;v=1.1" to indicate a reference to version 1.1 of
"name", whereas another might use a segment such as "name,1.1" to
indicate the same.

I was luck enough to score an after hours (nightime) guided tour of the Basilica (including this chapel) several years ago. We nearly had the entire place to ourselves and saw rooms that were kept off the general tour. We saw stone that is now extinct and art that melted my face. We lingered so long the guards chased us out. There are no words for how beautiful this place is.
One of the things I see you regularly talk about, and something that bothers me a little, is this idea of crypto "pedigree". That is, folks without crypto backgrounds attempting to write crypto software tend to, in my observation, evoke your ire, and the ire of many others in the field.

Taking that for granted for a moment, would this security audit be for the folks who've already become part of this class of "elites", or is this something one would do in an effort to be taken seriously in the security community by those currently in it?

So, I didn't know what they were so looked them up. According to some of the reviewers on Amazon, the purpose of Whiskey stones is not to chill your drink, but rather to only very slightly chill whiskey below room temperature. That is, as one of the reviewers says, they are great for their very specific purpose and useless for everything else and they are not an ice replacement.

So, they're not bunk - they just weren't designed for your use case.

Of course, as another reviewer suggests, a cheaper way to chill your whiskey by a degree or two would be to put the glass in a fridge for a minute ;-) (Then again, someone else comments saying that "You don't want to chill your glass, because the moisture will effect your whiskey. You're still exposing your whiskey to the moisture (water) as the glass warms.")
Too bad, what ever it is I'm not gonna be able to se it.

A midline section is the obvious one. And there are images by him in the chapel that have similarity to coronals too. Of all the images that look like anatomy the most famous one of the brain is the least obvious one in my opinion. Although that said, it isn't too much of a stretch to see it. I wouldn't really call it that stylised so much as obscured, presumably to prevent the bill payer moaning.
Out of curiosity, when do you call text book image stylised? MR and CT images are basically the same as textbooks but without the colour. Many texts actually use the MR image as their image as they are so very good (sinus area possibly excluded).

The day has come: Welcome Generation Ten
The GPU microops continue to change for the same reason we got x87, MMX, AVX256... We expect the very best performance from our graphics coprocessor, and sometimes the fastest way to do something is with a new hardware op.

The GPU doesn't get more complicated to support OpenGL; OpenGL gets more complicated to 1) meet the needs of developers and 2) support the GPU.

The real way to stop adding new features & ops every year is to stop caring about whether your GPU is fast.

P.S. The GPU is a computation engine that is more parallel than the CPU, but it is not analogous to a CPU with more threads. A GPU basically cannot branch (if/for/while) worth a damn, for example.

Nexium was available OTC right after the patent expired because the company that made it went through the OTC approval pathway. It was actually a sales strategy because plenty of people will buy brand name OTC drugs where if the got an Rx most pharmacies require the generic be provided.
There's a better one still IMO. It's a place of worship, you're supposed to look at the images and ponder your relationship with, and position before, the Almighty Creator. If you're messing around with your camera, or others are, then you're invariably far to distracted to meditate on higher things.
Yes thats the level I have seen quoted. I think I will wait 9 months and get one for 10% of the price...
I guess my comment about it being OTC in other countries is that there have been plenty of drugs approved in other countries that were eventually pulled. Luckily the US never approved them.
Looks like flash is still good for something.
So, looking at the architecture, it seems like you have some design components that overlap with pieces design components in CoreOS. I'm not clear as to what components are really application components vs. platform operations components, so maybe that's it. But the use of rsyslog in lieu of systemd seems like really going against the CoreOS grain. Is this really a function of trying to mirror Heroku as closely as possible?
