I guess Incubus's song Stellar, Stellar.js, Stellar the band, any number of companies named Stellar, and "Stellar" the adjective describing pertinence to stars should all be upset too.

Oh wait, you're just using this as an opportunity to plug your own work... Move along then.
My naive assumption would be that implementing flywheels in high performance situations without negatively impacting the engine is difficult.

At least that would be my assumption given the trend of hybrid vehicles and lack of comparable change in larger ones. F1 uses much stronger engines so maybe the tech is more directly usable.
Of course it does, otherwise I'd be able to register an unlimited number of accounts to get as much free Stellars as I wanted.
If you are trying to advertise an open developer position at your company, I can't think of a worse way of doing it.

What's wrong with you, McFly? Why won't you work for your good pal Biff? You chicken?

I have worked at a startup before. And I have worked in "safe" jobs. Truly safe jobs don't even exist any more. If I'm going to be "at will" anywhere I go, I'm going to make my primary job the one where the employer can reliably make payroll for the foreseeable future.

Never mind even 40 hours a week. If you're a startup, I might give you that 16 hours you think I waste on leisure activity as my second job, in addition to the primary job I can count on to pay my bills. I'll go full time with you only when I start to believe you're not going to make me unemployed, burnt-out, and homeless six months from now.

People aren't just looking for base pay. They want financial security. It does no good to offer a $150k annual salary if the business ledger says that you can only pay that for three months. It does no good to offer a potential $1M in stock options, if the VC or private equity investors are going to ensure they never pay out. People are not stupid, and a lot of people in this industry have already been burned multiple times. So telling them to just stop being pussies and to get their asses back in the fire is insensitive and condescending. And I'm already sick of working for people who don't respect me.
Facebook and Twitter must invest in the deal in one way or other.

Facebook's free access in India and some other countries is part of their internet.org project (or the team that deals with that). In that model, Facebook has a partnership with the local telecoms. The telecom opens access to that domain for every customer and Facebook pays the telecom for the data access.

Launching Helpful – A community-built product
'200 years old' is ancient in the US.

I live in a 100 year old brick tenement in Brooklyn, though, and hear very little of our neighbors myself— occasional creaking floorboards, and some sounds from the staircase near the front doors, but that's about it.
%of total accidents is amost meaningless. % of accident deaths or even %of totaled cars would be a much better indicator. A parking lot fender bender is vary different than an 80MPH head on collision.

Also, even if speeding is not the direct cause of an accident it increases the damage resulting from an accident.

PS: It has been estimated that hard limiting private vehicles to 40MPH would have saved over 2 Million lives in the US. Not that I am promoting such a low speed limit but people really don't understand the dangers of speed. Every year after 1945 at least 30,000 people died with a peak well over 50,000.

I think it's a sure sign of dysfunction any time a company is trying to discourage use of their product.

A healthy company in a healthy market loves additional demand. Imagine if there's some new kind of fruit that everyone wants to buy. The local supermarkets are flooded. Are they going to say, "this fruit is too popular and causing too much strain on our infrastructure, so we demand additional compensation from the fruit growers"? Hell no. They're going to say, "This is awesome! We're making so much cash! Hire more workers! Build out the stores! Buy more magic fruit!"

Many ISPs have managed to set up their product offerings such that they don't want additional use of their product. That's a major screwup on their part, and one they should fix.

It's interesting to look at cellular carriers, which started out this way but have mostly overcome it. For example, AT&T started out offering "unlimited" plans to iPhone users, and inevitably iPhone users used "too much" and this caused trouble. Now they only offer metered plans, and the attitude is different. Oh, you want to stream video constantly and use dozens of GB per month? Come right this way, we have a plan just for you, and you'll get a nice bulk discount. Contrast with Clear, who I used for a little bit as a home connection. They advertise "unlimited" and say it's suitable for replacing a home broadband connection, but if you actually try to use it that way, they throttle you into the ground and tell you to stop being abusive.

Techies as a whole seem to be really resistant to metered pricing for internet connections, but I think standardizing on that approach would solve a whole bunch of problems.

Often (but not always) in the UK, the laser is accompanied by video footage which shows where the beam has been trained and it is a combination of both the video and laser reading (shows on the video) which is the evidence. (all tripod mounted - so I suspect many of the issues detailed are well known). Sounds like that would give good supporting evidence for a challenge.

However, traffic violations is most places are about revenue raising so anything which reduces the opportunities - like accuracy and fairness - are unlikely to get much of a look in.

The manufacturers of speed cameras take a percentage, and it is a windfall for the municipality.

I live in an area where stationary speed cameras are around every corner (Montgomery Co, Maryland). I've lived here long enough to know that there's no way the county would spend money on the equipment and man power to maintain and operate that network, just to break even for the sake of safety.

By tradition, suicide can absolve guilt and cancel debt, can restore honor and prove loyalty.

In this respect I feel Japan's culture is superior to ours in the USA. For example, I felt Mark Madoff's suicide was entirely appropriate, a final act that put the rest of his life in a more dignified context. Yet every article one reads about it treats the suicide as an additional disgrace, yet another horrible thing we can blame on Mark and his father.

I went to the Meetup yesterday. Matt was talking about how it's not a replacement for AFNetworking, It's a completely rethought framework.

Also AFNetworking is going to be still maintained. He made it sound like if you're working in Obj-C you should use AFNetworking, Alamofire for Swift; two completely different entities.

I'm sure there will be a blog post soon.

Sure. If you have a job where you have to commute in every day, I can see how this wouldn't be a great place to live. But there are enough people -- especially the self-employed -- who can sustain this community it seems.
What other methods are you looking to introduce and when might they be an option?

I created a Stellar account but am in the minority of people who don't have a Facebook account and was a little disappointed.
+1 for the chain idea.
The "Connect with Facebook" button on Stellar's dashboard appears to be broken, or at least for me, anyway. Clicking it results in a "Loading..." message that never seems to go away.
The Math is correct. Those are the current prices. You are saying that Olacab like companies are able to afford to have low prices because they have investor money to operate at a loss. That may be true too. Yes, it will be interesting to see who can hold on for longer.

We have a reached a stage where rickshaws and cabs are competing for the same market segment, within the city.
>> It seems like shining a flashlight in one direction should produce thrust in the other. Is that not true or is it something different at work here?

That is absolutely true. Electromagnetic radiation effectively has momentum. Take the energy in joules and convert it to mass via E=mc^2 and then plug it in the momentum equation p = mv but using c as the velocity and you get p = E/c. Change in momentum over change in time is force, so we can then get to F = P/c. I believe the units are Newtons, Watts, and meters/sec. So with 300 Megawatts you can produce a whole Newton of force!

I used this on a physics final once, but hid the work because the prof expected us to use formulas for radiation pressure derived from electromagnetics and I had missed that lecture. Later I derived the general case of my approach and it matched the EM derived formulas. 50/50 if he would have appreciated it or marked it down. The question was "a 50mW laser is reflected off a mirror, what force is exerted on the mirror due to the beam?". Note that the change in momentum is doubled for reflection vs emission or absorption.
Do research on fast growing internet markets (think Asia/Africa - may need to go one level deeper like a region or major city).

Then see if that country or region has a dominant job board/classified website/real estate listing etc.

Millions of users are just coming to the internet in those countries and have room for growth. Many of the existing websites offer horrible experience.

If he wasn't using PHP people would complain that people who don't know PHP shouldn't critique it.

Generally someone who uses the language in question is best equipped to critique it.
Yes, that's possible. But no technical reasons are presented on why it should happen now - compared to all the false prognoses in the last fifty years or so.
> I can't believe it's not implanted at least in all interstate freeways.

If you're around DC, there are a bunch of automated speed detectors built into the highways, and it's the same story: People slow down for the trap, and then speed up afterwards.

If you're from out of town, you're pretty well screwed because you'll be following some guy who will, out of the blue, slow down for no apparent reason.
who says Kiro isn't using version control?

traditional web hosts provide a level of management that isn't present in VPSes. You may be able to get turnkey instances, but you still have to be responsible for managing them and maintaining them. Vs a traditional webhost where you don't have to worry about all that.

You can claim that its "outdated" and "akin to using tables for layout", but its also still a very valid workflow for a lot of people who don't want to be sysadmins in addition to developers
It's a great community. There's not really any membership. You can just show up and live here like you live anywhere else. And should you choose to buy food from the farm, you go to market on Saturday. Or you join the CSA.

>Your Facebook account is too new to qualify. Stay tuned for new ways to grab stellars.

I've had my facebook account for something like 8 years. Oh well.
Are you affiliated with the site and in a position to provide the data, or just scheming to grab as much data as possible before the site goes down?
Oh great, one of these. This thread should be highly productive.

It's not a terrific sign that the first set of complaints are about the syntax of PHP/FI, which was retired sixteen years ago. (Source: http://php.net/manual/en/history.php.php) If you're going to write an article about how PHP sucks, you should probably constrain yourself to how it sucks in this century.
The values are probably stored in float, which is ridiculous.
I think that's how it works in the UK. When the lidar detector catches you speeding it fires off a camera that takes 2 photos of the vehicle a set time apart. The car's progress is manually compared against a gauge painted on the road surface to see if you travelled far enough in the time between the 2 photos to have been speeding. This catches those times when a lidar detector gives a false positive.
See if you're not blocking FB with AdBlock or Disconnect.
> I don't see any grounds for what "93% who have agreed the restructured payments can sue the 7% who haven't" - what claim do you see there?

I don't know whether I see a claim, but I wondered whether a clever lawyer would. Reading around, I'm positing ideas for what might happen next.
Developers need to get a clue and copy this model or else they are going to be unable to sell suburbs to Millennials. The only reason it's so expensive there is because this is such a rare type of place to live.
Pretty excited for what comes of this. For devs reading, auth doesn't seem to be persistent - if I refresh I get logged out.
I think that when you send out photons, there is energy in them. Like, energy you would have rather have converted into momentum. ...IANAP.

Tolls booths are obviously about the revenue, which make the voter angry.

Not that I support his claim, just refuting yours.
We are not talking about colocation/dedicated hardware. We are talking about cloud infrastructure.

The provider pool that offers a mix of both (and has proper integration between cloud and hardware network) is pretty limited.

Their cloud offerings (without managed support) are pretty reasonable priced in terms of $/bang. This is my opinion.

> reliability and scalability is mostly a software issue

Your software is not going to save you if your network is cheaply build and maintained. Your auto-scaling setup will not do anything if your provider is having network degradation issues.

I never said the Rackspace is the only choice, but it's one of the better choices when you look at the big picture.

Especially if you require actual hardware to be part of your infrastructure.

I have been Softlayer customer for 4 years (when they first started, during EV1 days). Their network and support is superb. I also recommend them to people who want to take the hardware route.

I did not mention them in my post because I have never played around with their cloud offerings.

They were a bit late to the game and I have already invested into integration with other cloud providers (API, etc).

Cheers.
I work at Stellar. We wanted a method by which we could fund people once (to prevent someone from spinning up a lot of fake accounts to claim) hence the decision to move forward with Facebook. I know it isn't perfect, but we are doing our best to make the giveaway broadly accessible and not game-able. And we are working on other claim methods so yes, totally hear your concerns.
Did you actually look through the folders? There are multiple projects. Theres a wearable project, a phone/tablet project, art (mock ups I guess?), the server code (3, actually. The content, some update server, and a push server), source for 5 library projects (these could just be jars), and documentation.

They do a main, release, and lpreview versions of the app code. I'm not sure why they would do this. Maybe they didn't want to hide it in other git branches? It is example code after all.
Actually, not just money. It means that the community is able to draw in lots of talent, and the entire community is committed to the success of the community. So I'm not certain, but those high end photographs could have been taken by a resident who just wanted to make the website that much more awesome.

And this speaks to my overarching point: Small, dense communities work. Dunbar's number. When you have a group of people, all of whom know each other's names (we're wholly organized on Facebook, actually), the social cost of being an asshole is REALLY HIGH (as a recovering asshole myself, it's part of the reason I moved here). You can't honk your horn at somebody without the risk of that being your neighbor.

But most people don't have horns. They get around by foot, bike, or sometimes even a golf cart.
Really sad to hear about this - I love their iOS Apps, "Wild Friends" and "National Parks" in particular - beautiful photographs and I love the story telling aspect and frequent updates. I'll have to have a good look through them again before they stop functioning. Hopefully the content can be archived somehow - ideally in a way the app can access, although that's probably impossible without their help.
Have they tried selling prints? We also provide a photo to painting API that can be monetization for photo apps like this.
I love their product.

How data caps could reshape the economics of the Internet again
I met Mukesh Jha, one of the founders, couple of months back in a conference. It was amazing listening to his story of Autowale.in. His passion about this was apparent.
At this magnitude there aren't "mistakes in the contracts" - every provision, by including or excluding it, meaningfully affects the price of that bond.

Just like in insurance contracts - if you buy a policy for $123 that covers A, B and C but excludes D and E, then you don't get to argue if C should be fairly excluded or D should be fairly included - if the contract would've been different, then the price would've been different, and you got the price that matched the exact terms as written, not some other terms.

Bondholders may reasonably have conflicting interests - for example, if some bondholders have significant other investments in that country, then they have motivations to settle cheaply that would conflict with other bondholders, and it's not fair if those other bondholders get less of their debt back.

If you sell a bond whose terms that includes specific protection against that (the lack of provision that minorities would have to agree if majority restructures), then it's not reasonable to withdraw that protection afterward; a bond with slightly different terms is a completely different bond, even if the amounts match.

In serious contracts, expecting "take-backsies" isn't reasonable; either term X is in the contract or it isn't - that's what the exact agreement was, and not the other way.
