Typical 5-4 conservative activism vote this SCOTUS is known for. We're going to be paying the price for the Bush years for a long time now. I mean, we're not even talking paying for abortion here, merely birth control, which if you cared about lowering the amount of abortions.

How long until VD treatments, HPV vaccines, etc lawsuits get to this court for moral/religious reasons? These religious activists have only been encouraged of late with a SCOTUS not having issues in what sane countries would call theocracy. This is on top of state legislatures running in legislation to limit access to abortion clinics. I guess the message here is that the state and business can and should tell us to have children against our will.

This SCOTUS is an embarrassment, almost every time history has given them an opportunity to do something modern they just seem to slide into the GOP-style politics that defines the 5 conservative-leaning judges. We're regressing and its concerning.

Hopefully, this will be a lesson to the electorate on how important it is to vote, especially getting young people to vote in presidential elections. The guys who are retired if not dead that put in a long gone POTUS still have their views forced upon the electorate via lifelong SCOTUS appointments.

The article stated that Titan may be able to use Loon's wind data (exactly for what it did not say) which implies that Google will (obviously) be collecting and storing wind data for each balloon. This may open up a new line of business for Google. We could soon see them selling access to their data to the government (wind data, that is) or to other corporations that are invoked in similar activities in that part of the atmosphere.

Furthermore, using data collected by the balloons, in conjunction with model forecasts generated by NOAA, could lead to some interesting/challenging/fun new algorithm development - using wind data from some subset of balloons to predict the trajectory of some other subset of balloons. Sound like fun!
I'd recommend just using Google GSON instead; it gives you a low-level API comparable to json.org (though much better internally IMHO), as well as a powerful annotation/reflection driven API.

Bro, we're never reaching those planets, FTL travel is a fantasy. Are you really willing to bet whatever life is on Mars on the hope that humans will someday be able to travel faster than light? What we could learn from extraterrestrial life, even if it's only microbes, could open vast new areas of biology research - potentially curing diseases or teaching us to survive in a much warmer Earth.
I don't think that's the point.

The problem with a lot of home automation and internet-of-things stuff is proprietary lock in, either from new young companies that could be dead in 18 months or established monsters looking to slurp your data. Having an open source foundation is the only viable long term approach to something that needs to live as long as your home infrastructure. If this lot cease being able to make the boards then at least, in principle, you can. (Or more likely someone else can pick up the ball without any license cost). If you've built around a Nest and that stops being made then you're screwed.

I have to admit I don't think either in extreme is going to work. You need the combination of standardisation with non-cloud dependency but also commercial viability. i.e. an Android of Internet-of-Things without Googly influence is needed, but without a rich backer it's hard to see where it will come from.
I used Orkut in the early days (from 2004 - 2008). The growth trajectory was similar to facebook. All the elite colleges in India were using it in the beginning and then it rapidly spread across other colleges.

But the thing was:

1. There was no News feed. You had to actually visit your friend's wall to make a comment/see what they were up-to.

2. That other person would know the next day that you visited their profile. This discourages people from taking interest in the lives of others. You didn't want to come across as a creep or having nothing better to do with your time.

3. Communities/Forums were a big thing. There wasn't too much to do so you visited "communities". It became a turf war between Indians, Brazilians and a few other countries over content. So if you were from another country, you would get the feeling of not belonging here. I always thought that it drove people from other countries away.

4. Facebook created a personal bubble/universe centered around you. Discussions on forums/pages were not a high priority. News feed was the game changer. I remember people moving away en masse from Orkut to Facebook around 2007 - 08.
It's not just New York. In Boston lots of foreign investors, mostly Chinese. They are coming in over asking prices, with cash. Basically impossible to compete with.

Redfin recently released a housing report[0] that acknowledged the recent "recovery" as fueled by investors, regular home buyers are still on the sidelines. This is clear to me via anecdote, I've heard from friends and online forums from people in the JP area where multi-families are being bought in droves by corporate landlords. It seems to me that the historical pattern of real estate transactions being between generations and socio-economic classes will be no more. If the corporate landlords want to sell, they'll be selling their portfolios to other investor types. I wonder if in another 20 years we will have an exodus to the 'burbs similar to the 50's and 60's.

> how can you explain the modern world, in which the poorest residents of the industrialized countries consider their birthright many things that the Kings of old could literally not have gotten at any price?

Technology advances. I agree with the point you were trying to make (capitalism is not a zero sum game), but people expounding the benefits of capitalism tend to attribute to it the success of everything that it has touched. That's not necessarily correct. If an economic system controls 90% of the resources, we would expect it to have 90% of the success (even 90% of the growth!) under the null hypothesis that economic system doesn't matter.

> Don't just read the propaganda, think.

Oh no, the sheeple! Cut it out. Accusing your debate opponent of not thinking is beyond lazy.

> wealth has exploded under capitalism, and why it didn't explode under the older systems

Capitalism isn't an 18th century invention.

> why it doesn't explode even more under any of the several attempts to use another system that have been really tried in the real world

http://forum.axishistory.com/viewtopic.php?p=1811208&sid=33f...

> if your theories become so powerful they explain why the wealth explosion didn't happen at all

That's trivial if you believe economic progress is not a pure function of economic system. And you'd be a fool to believe that.

> you've probably got a bad case of the propagandas

Why do I even bother?
You still need to meet the FCC specs for not causing interference (in the US at least), which can be costly. And you can be sure that a bare board with no shielding around the RF sections is going to be pretty noisy.
> The decision only applies to corporations where it's owners are indistinguishable from the business itself.

If the owners are indistinguishable from the corporation itself, its not a really a bona fide corporation -- the entire premise of the corporate liability shield, the easier deductibility of corporate expenditures, and the existence of corporations as distinct legal persons is that the whole idea of a corporation is that it is a creature of law -- of government -- distinct from its stockholders governed by a government-approved charter.

No American city is a city like New York— its public transit system is an order of magnitude different in ridership from any other:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_rapid_tra...

That said, once a car isn't needed for day-to-day life in multiple neighborhoods in a city, and likewise once relaxed parking space requirements make it such that keeping a rarely-used car isn't trivially easy, (and especially an economy where reliable used cars have become far more valuable and unnecessary line-items in the budget might be quickly removed) the economics for young adults tilt pretty heavily toward tossing in gas money to with your car-owning friends or renting a car for $100 every few weekends when desiring a trip to the mountains. And urban families might become one-used-car-kept-for-10+-years families as opposed to one-car-per-adult families.

My understanding is also that Denver has a pretty-decent network of bike trails and a relatively-mild climate, which also means two-to-five mile trips can be pretty easily covered without a car.

Of course Denver won't become New York— but it stands a chance of becoming less of an auto-required city and more like the DC area, which is a relatively young metro area for the East Coast with a mass transit system from the modern era and new urban nodes at outer transit stops, and many people still own cars but plenty don't, especially in the urban core.

They're also an eyesore.

Not to worry, over the next several decades large cities will build out effective mass transit systems. High-speed rail will eventually come to America after years of debate.

It is important to keep in mind that the following is only an assumption. We'll be able to test it in few months when our website is live.

We have approached the situation from similar angle as many people here already described.

However, we involve a tool which allows people to make "cool albums" and can easy share it outside the site, into their existing communities.

We assume that since we will have almost none real users (beside the fake ones), inside action will be non-existent. Thus if the users use the tool to share outside, we might benefit from the outsiders checkout the album of their mates.

Of course, while this sounds clever, it hides risks - the early adopters should provide at least like-able content. And this, by experience, is not the general case. To be counted, also, is that our early adopter is someone who is already member of an existing community.

And whoever registers in the site should be carefully caressed to feel special in order to, at least, provide feedback.

tl;dr - fake accounts; a lot of personal attention from founders; people can benefit from the site without inside users.
It will likely be necessary to use existing third-party tools to translate newer bytecode back to a version which Android understand.

Weathering the Future with New Technologies
I think the OP's talking about those who want to implement the boards on their own, where you do have to worry about all those certification costs.
Sort of. But you can't statically decide it. In fact, really the only way to do it is with a GC (or ref. counting, etc.). You can't know until runtime when a node will need to be freed.

And my point still stands. The GC allows you to do things you otherwise couldn't.

Is there a reason not to anchor some of these? I know your very height restricted when anchored because of line weight, but why not anchored balloons as poor man towers? Or are they simply trying get beyond most weather?
Okay, so I'm playing devil's advocate here:

One good reason is usability. Users are forgetting their passwords all the time and as buttscicles pointed out it is for a lot of people much easier to just get an email with their password instead of going through the whole set-a-new-password-flow. We actually tested that 8+ years ago and although I don't recall the exact numbers, sending the password lead to much higher login rates than creating a new password. And I really mean _much_ higher.

Plus from a security perspective it's always better to secure the access to the DB instead of trying to minimize the damage. And btw the still common (unsalted) MD5 hashing of passwords is barely better than plain passwords.
Proving negatives is easy. /s
Google+ is much larger than Orkut and has far more active users. Orkut never caught on outside of Brazil. Even in Brazil, its userbase is shrinking as users adopt Facebook and Google+.
The latest post there that I was able to find was from April 2014 - is there any news? Am I missing something?
Notice how you're not giving an answer to Daishiman's question, merely downplaying the importance of having general data structures, though I'm sure you're quite happy that slices, maps and channels can be parametrized by the type of data they contain. Saying that general data structures are uncommon in the "real world" sounds like an example of Sapir-Whorf. I use Java at work and OCaml for a personal project and in both of them, having data structures that can be parametrized is very helpful. For instance, writing an AST with a type parameter allows to go from a AST<String> (generated by the parser) where ids are strings to a AST<Symbol> where a node's id is now a symbol (generated during semantic analysis).
Yup, the only way to really hide metadata is for every device to talk to every other device constantly, either with "real" data if they have something to send or "padding" if they don't. That way a sniffer can't tell who you're sending real data to. Everything else is vulnerable.

I don't think is necessarily a bad thing. You sound like a good starter of projects. For one reason or another you haven't followed them through. Either you haven't been truely interested enough to follow it through to the next stage and let yourself properly invest or you need a colleague that gets excited about projects with you to help drive each other along.

You're a step further than I get. But I see myself more as someone that will run with a project as oppose to creating one.

Good luck finding the one that sticks!

over the next several decades large cities will build out effective mass transit systems

Which, as the article points out, won't fix the traffic congestion, because as some people switch from driving to mass transit, other people will take their place by driving when they previously walked or just didn't make the trip at all. So mass transit can increase the total number of trips made, but it won't decrease road usage.

One of the major subsidies for auto drivers is deeply hidden in land use policies requiring huge amounts of free parking at all new construction, rather than the amount the developer desires at the price that the market will bear.

Auto-oriented land-use regulations (single-family-only neighborhood zoning, minimum parking regulations that can only be cheaply satisfied by surface lots, minimum setbacks, minimum lot sizes, building-height limitations, etc) also cause buildings to be built so far apart, with seas of parking in between and a road network that's inhospitable to walking due to poor pedestrian connectivity and the danger of high-speed traffic, that it isn't possible for pedestrianism to offer meaningful competition to automobiles in much new construction in the US. And since most transit trips begin & end with a walking trip, transit (publicly- or privately-provided) likewise becomes uncompetitive. And this is essentially all due to government policy, often at the local level but also sometimes essentially federally mandated due to FHA mortgage requirements and the like.

It's not foolproof, but that does require that you have released a sufficiently large sample of LaTeX source under your real name (or something that can be traced to your real name) for comparison. Additionally, if you really want to release something typeset like that, but you're worried about fingerprinting, my guess is that it's not that hard to deliberately change your personal style by using a minimal set of packages and when necessary restricting yourself to the most popular packages. Even if your new personal style still ends up unique, it wouldn't match the fingerprint of anything you've released under your own name.
