I wasn't commenting on using photon reaction - I was commenting on using this hypothetical reactionless drive (which would, presumably, produce more thrust then photon force - which the claimed device does from relatively small amounts of power).

If you had a reactionless drive, then the solar sail force would be negligible compared to the drive.
I definitely like the option of a title history + voting on which you believe is a "better" title. I also agree that limiting it to a certain threshold of karma, account age, etc, is appropriate.

Facts and stats from last AppSec Europe OWASP Media
Unfortunately the TTL settings on top-level zones are less than friendly if your goal is to withstand a DNS provider outage by changing the registration. The TTLs on NS records in the ".com" zone are two days long. So when you log in to your registrar of choice and change the delegation, it's still going to be two days before all resolvers are using your new choice. You can improve things for most resolvers, by lowering the NS TTLs in your child-zone (though few do), but about 10% of resolvers are "parent-centric" and you'll just have to wait the two days.

Using multiple providers, but using no more than two authoritative nameservers from each provider [1], is probably the way to go if your goal is to withstand a full-provider DNS outage. Unfortunately when you do that, you have to also consider that if DNS is your tool for handling day-to-day problems like web-server failures; then every time you need to make a DNS change, you need all of your providers to reflect it reliably and quickly.

Or put another way; using multiple providers can lower your day to day availability, because of the increased probability that at least one of your providers is slow to make changes when you need it.

Full disclosure: I work on Route 53.

[1] Most resolvers will try 3 different name servers before giving up, so if you have 3 or more from any one provider in can be ineffective.

It's actually rather easy to allocate belt positions, because the belt is a FIFO and allocates them itself :-)

However, the scheduler must track lifetimes and make sure that nothing still live falls off the end. This is also (not quite so) easy to do, because the scheduler knows exactly what is the belt behavior of each operation it schedules (the Mill is exposed-pipeline), so it is sufficient to symbolically execute a candidate schedule to know if it is feasible.

If not, the scheduler inserts a spill/fill pair at appropriate places and reschedules. This is guaranteed to terminate, and in practice usually is immediately feasible and rarely takes more than one iteration.

The operation scheduling itself is the standard time-reversed tableau scheduler used in VLIWs, probably 40 years old at this point.

I'm surprised the angle of measurement never came up. Isn't it the case that a reading has to be head-on for it to be accurate? It seems pretty obvious that at higher angles the observed distance delta will be smaller.
Dreamweaver is still, workflow-wise probably the most ideal app for doing HTML emails. When you construct something with dozens of nested tables, you do not want to work in the code, you want a clean split view that highlights across windows when something is selected. The best alternative is Pinegrow probably but it requires a specific html doctype that you may have to remove after the fact.

> Even if the startup had the patent, it is unlikely they would have the millions it would take to enforce it against Facebook

They wouldn't have to, it's much cheaper and faster for Facebook to just acquire them.

Make no mistakes: whenever you read in the news that Big Company just acquired Small Company, a lot of this is justified by the patents that Small Company filed. It is much faster and cheaper for Big Company to acquire that company, its patents, its team and its products than spending years in court suing them.
The diffusion of ideas is difficult to track and rarely do ideas have unique sources. So Asimov may have been influenced by Richardson as well as others, or come to similar conclusions on his own. John von Neuman believed that automated computation would allow something like Asimov's psychohistory, and there were other people thinking along similar lines.

In the modern world (shameless plug) my own novel deals with the problem of war from the point of view of computational biology (although, like Richardson, I am a physicist): http://www.amazon.com/Darwins-Theorem-TJ-Radcliffe-ebook/dp/...

One of the internal debates I had while writing it was whether to reference Asimov, but eventually decided not to, as the route by which I'd arrived at the ideas in the book had nothing to do with reading Foundation at the age of 13 many years ago (at least not so far as I could tell.)
I upvote many posts though. I generally only comment on the one's I find most interesting. I would not be able to find the post again looking though everything I upvote.

I agree that it's likely a market solution would be adequate in this case, and in developed areas in general. The market price for water in most places seems to be quite cheap. Thus why I was only criticizing the analogy, not the conclusion.

Well an example would be if the aircraft is sinking but the pilot is experiencing the sensations of gaining altitude because he feels the lift in the seat, he sees the angle of the wing against the horizon, and he hears the aircraft making the distinct noise it makes while climbing. But the instruments may tell him that he is not in fact climbing from the earth, he is descending, and he just feels like he's climbing because in the column of air he dwells, he is climbing. But that column of air itself is falling.

This disconnect between senses and reality is the whole reason even pilots that only fly visually require instruments. On a horizontal plane it's much easier for a person to determine if they're off course using visual reference points. For altitude it's much harder to determine using just your senses.

The issue here is that Express Checkout isn't available in all countries. When I was integrating PayPal for the startup I was working at last year we had to use Adaptive Payments because of this. I don't mean some small South American county nobody has heard of, the business was based in Ireland.

As other commenters pointed out we didn't have much choice of providers because of our business model (hotel booking). Stripe and Braintree didn't want anything to do with us, so we went with PayPal to start with. I think they are now using RBS WorldPay, but even that had it's issues...
Is The New York Times trying to manipulate your perception on marijuana?
The HN community takes a rather strict approach when moderating comments that contribute noise to the conversation. "Nice article!" comments are routinely downvoted. As is sarcasm, witticisms, memes, references and other styles of comments that occur frequently but do not contribute to the discussion. It's a knowingly doomed attempt to hold back the flood of noise that covers Reddit.

So, yes you are able to make an empty comment as a bookmark for yourself that is visible to everyone. But, you should expect it to be downvoted to invisibility.
Good points. The lifestyle I'd want for my kids would be more resources available per kid (whether they use them or not) and less effort expended to attain a resource, not the current situation where there are ever less resources that are ever more expensive in today's dollars to attain.

For example if they want wild salmon for dinner I'd like the rivers to be teeming with salmon, like they used to, and for a salmon to always cost $1 in today's dollars, instead of $15 a pound today and $30 a decade from now and so on.

And yes I'd like everything to be recyclable and recycled to the maximum extent, whatever is needed to keep the good life sustainable until the Sun becomes a red giant.

Yes sir. I thought Krita was going to be a good new alternative for Photoshop, being open source but sadly it's got basic things missing. You can't even nudge a layer using arrow keys you have to drag layer content with the mouse. Laggy too. GIMP is well, always GIMP. Paintshop Pro, Corel Draw, Painter those don't really hit the mark. UI is always just odd. I feel lost honestly. I'm glad I have cs6 master collection and plan on squeezing it for all I can over the next few years. I hate mucking around with Illustrator, though it's got some cool things it uniquely does. I use Xara Designer Pro for a lot of work. It's awesome and flexible but it's not gonna replace Photoshop.
tl;dr: There were too many paralegals relative to the number of judges in the department. The paralegals had no authority to work on cases that hadn't been viewed by a judge.

There was in fact a vast backlog of work, but the bottleneck was insufficient judges, not support staff.
[Australian] government to revoke employee share scheme rules within weeks
The effects of widespread disruption on nuclear power plants is one of the elements addressed in Alan Weisman's The World Without Us.

There are roughly 400 nuclear power plants in the world today. If disrupted for several weeks, they would eventually lose cooling capabilities, as grid, backup fuel, and ultimately cooking water, were exhausted. You'd see a few hundred core melt events scattered over the globe, and moreover, no real capability to address those -- Chernobyl was encased in a large concrete sarcophagus (and is in the process of being re-entombed). Fukushima has still not been contained and requires ongoing interventions to slow, not halt, leaking of radioactive material from four cores.

S.G. Collins, the guy who put together the "No, we couldn't have faked the moon landings" video, has a very good one on nuclear power which addresses a number of the systemic and very long-range issues involved in nuclear risks:

The number one thing this app should do is show me correct information. Don't ever show me cached version of the page from 30 seconds ago while you load. The only indication that I'm looking at a stale page is the teeny tiny loading bar at the top. I would rather see a blank loading page than the wrong information.

Oh and once the loading bar finishes, the list of alerts changes right out from under me and I often end up tapping on the wrong one. It makes me want to throw my phone.
There's some cognitive dissonance going on here.

All that he's doing is buying HEPA filter media and strapping a fan to it. You _can_ spend $1000 on a fancy plastic enclosure with a fan and the same media, but you don't have to. This seems to be a product created for people who will pay a large amount for something simply because it is expensive. (perceived quality)

This [1] is what I have, it is $130 and rated to capture 99.97% of particles > 0.3 µm and is as far as I can tell as good as or better than the filters he is using/selling. Having searched extensively, I could not find a higher class HEPA filter which was not built for a laboratory environment.

>These $1k filters are designed for 2.5 ppm particles, not dust (10 ppm) and allergens.

The units you are using 'parts per million' don't make any sense in this context.

You need a lot less grid if you're generating power on the roof of the building you park your car in.
The HEPA filter will also become ineffective really quickly unless you have a pre-filter to get rid of the larger particles first.
Does that mean you've converted it into a more digestible format that others could use :)
I once lived in a city with a community run fiber network. It was pretty damn amazing. They still have great rates for what you get: http://www.sfcn.org/sfcn/internet/

I paid about how much the "Plus" plan cost, without TV, just for 3Mps down/1Mps up in the next two places I lived. It really does spoil you when you've had a proper ISP compared with the TWC/Comcast/Cox monopolies that run in other locales.

Edit: and note, this was a tiny (less than 30k residents) at the time I had it. Incredible value for the service. I'm sure there's lots of happy customers there still.
I think the types of EPS files you can create is expansive. Not sure if it means that it supports more features of illustrator such as filters and that, but it may do more than SVG for that reason. Also does SVG support CMYK? Because that's definitely something EPS is used for, trading CMYK vector files.
Your example doesn't make any sense as that's not the case they were debating about, it is not an excuse not to turn over the weapon from a different country, it is about who can ask you to turn over the weapon. In Ireland, it is the Ireland's legal authorities who should be asking you to turn over the weapon and then hand it over to the US as long as they agree with the request from US. Using your example, the closest (not really the most accurate one) analog would be:

1. Microsoft is the landlord of two places, one in US and one in Ireland
2. US court ordered Microsoft with a US search warrant to enter the property of a customer in Ireland and grab his murder weapon. This is basically what's happening. No country in the world including the US are entitled to anything in a different country. Last I checked, the US does not own Ireland.
3. The right way, US filed a request with the Ireland's legal authorities and they issued a search warrant for Microsoft to grab the murder weapon. In this case, this is legal because of the international agreements between both countries. Ireland should be in charge of issuing the warrant and enforcing it, not Microsoft with a US search warrant. In fact, the said US warrant should not even be valid in Ireland.

The US government admitted that they can go to Ireland's authorities to issue a local search warrant based on the international treaties, however they whined that it would take too long. So, they instead issued a warrant against Microsoft and asked it to get the data from Ireland.
I don't remember accurately the documentation URL but there was a mention (I did lots of PayPal API development) that IPN cannot be always trusted and you should instead query the PayPal API (in a cron job fashion) to check if the transaction went through.

There are many reasons why an IPN will fail. Like having your firewall settings messed up, network issues on your or PayPal's side, PayPal actually sending an IPN but your infrastructure not making use of its information...

I'm 32 now and come from a branding/marketing background. I have a degree related to mathematics and accounting (accounting can be interesting, but most part of it is boring). I came to Canada from China. So my previous experience is close to useless here.

I'm building my first app now. And it has been delayed as hell (already cost me one year full time on it, my family live on our previous savings) since I'm the only one to work on it. There are just too many things needed to be done. UI design, information architecture, strategy... The most challenging part is writing code for both ends. I have almost zero knowledge of programming. Even most of the tasks/concepts seems easy, however, there are simply too many to learn and practise. It goes worse when they come together. But I still want to ship my app, because I want to use it and I'm fascinating to test the idea. I want to see the result. Even with the worst result, I'll gain enough skills and cases to start a career in programming.

So just hang in there, no one is able to learn programming for you. If you don't fix question A today, it will be still there tomorrow and get in your way. Little by little, I think you'll see some results in 6 months. It's not a short period. But compared with our life span, it is worth it. Like others said, building something is a good way to have a learning/practice path. Good luck to you and all fellows in the same boat.
Wheeler is still a dingo.
I have lidar jammers on my car, but Arizona doesn't use a lot of lidar. (Motors and sometimes bored DPS will, but typically it's Ka band radar via Stalker Duals.) Not really knowing how lidar worked, except that a "laser" pulse hits the car and reads back a speed, this article was great because it explains that the measurement process is far slower than you'd think (0.3 seconds!) which is easily enough time for my jammer to detect the inbound infrared and start spamming light on that frequency, which is what they do.

I don't think I've ever successfully jammed one, since again, AZ is mostly Ka, but it's pretty neat to know that they can work as advertised (since they're built in to the front of the car most likely to be targeted by lidar).

I think you should keep using the cloud but I'll respond to your points anyway.

1- you still need staff to deal with aws. I would argue that you need more.

2- HA is the same; DR is different. Use AWS for your DR ;)

3- What about them? there is literally no difference

4- see 3

5- a lot, I'm sure. Enough to justify owned physical equipment that you aren't sharing and doesn't get "retired" every other week

6- whatever I want, including putting them on glacier or sending them to my data center's cheap tape storage

7- it's a trivial part of the cost, why worry about it? or rent half a rack if you don't mind taking on a little extra cord-pulling risk
Seemed like he stopped at a visualization of the data, without any real interpretation.

I'd like to see some information on the density of the areas. For example, Chicago is listed as the metro region (8 million people) when the city itself only has about 3 million, and public transport hardly exists outside the city.

If the total rides had been divided by the city population, it would equal much closer to 200 rides per capita.
> If and when a usable p6 is released, who knows what the motto will be then?

I guess I don't see why that's an important question when:

- there's no horizon on which a complete implementation (or stable target for a spec/test suite, for that matter) is promising to arrive

- 5.x has demonstrated it's a living/growing branch with as much a future as any open source project

- By comparison, for something like Python, the concrete reality of having a plan for changing horses midstream seems to be more painful than just keeping on with Perl 5

Or are those false assumptions?

I don't really expect everyone to keep up with everything about Perl. I'd certainly had no idea 5.10 was even a glimmer in someone's eye for over a year after it had come out because I was busy with front-end work and PHP projects. And I'm responding partly because maybe I've missed something again and this is a learning opportunity.

At the same time, when someone speaks up as the GP did and asserts that technical decision makers have done their homework and picked things like Python or Java by comparison to insulate themselves from the spectre of version shifts and associated porting costs, I think they may have earned themselves a challenge.
