"But scientists have yet to develop an affordable, active water splitter with catalysts capable of working at industrial scales."
"The nickel/nickel-oxide catalyst significantly lowers the voltage required to split water, which could eventually save hydrogen producers billions of dollars in electricity cost"

Making it more plausible I suppose. The only thing I have a problem with is that they used a battery, which required electricity to be initially charged. The electricity had to be generated somehow. If we plan to use <insert renewable energy here> to charge the batteries to split the water to generate the hydrogen to power our cars, I think very few people will be driving.

> I don't think you are understanding what docker is doing. Docker interfaces with the kernel to provide security and isolation via cgroups and namespaces.

If I were to nitpick I would say docker is doing none of those things. LXC is. Docker is just freeloading off LXC while providing almost no benefits.

I tried Docker, but quickly discovered it was a cumbersome interface on top of LXC, and if you wanted to get any real work done, you needed to manage LXC yourself anyway. So ... Why should I bother with Docker in the first place then?

Docker may be good enough for some people, but I feel LXC, which Docker is actually built on is getting no credit, when clearly they deserve 99% of it.
Oh, that's okay then. When someone's enjoying themselves in a way that confuses you but otherwise has nothing to do with you, it's perfectly acceptable to be an asshole to them. Carry on, good sir! Keep making the world a better place!
But it really isn't. The only thing of minor note here is room temperature vs doing it at 60 deg C.
Well yes. The main part of your comment is descriptive: you are describing the state of the world as it is today.

However, there is a normative side to the debate as well. This is what I (and you in your first line) explicitly referred to. This side is about asking what state of the world is desirable. It is perfectly legitimate and good to ask this question, so that we might hopefully act upon the answer once it has been found. That is how progress is made in the world.
Any news on how they did this?

So a neutron star with a mountain would both emit gravitational waves and slow down due to that emission? Does that imply that pulsars that do not slow down are all perfectly spherical? (or at least perfectly symmetrical across their rotational axis?)
... and not a single word about how the necessary electricity needed to make this "zero emission fuel" is supposed to be produced.

Plus, all I know about hydrogen points to it not being anything close to "an ideal fuel for powering vehicles, buildings and storing renewable energy". It has very low density, requires cryogenic storage or very heavy pressure vessels, migrates through materials, and is explosive when mixed with air.

It is still a registered trademark, but "Kleenex" has been genericized:

Isn't that something you should decide for yourself?
Also, why do you assume there's a duality between hero and non-hero? The person did what they did. Simplifying it to the point of 'hero' or 'not hero' is overgeneralizing, I think. Acknowledge their achievements. Acknowledge their faults. Labels aren't a requirement.

I really hope "spy novels" is not what you'd consider actual evidence. As you say, it's not exactly a secret that the U.S. and Pakistan have been working together (since the 1970s at least, natch).

What is not widely known is just how fragmented and unbelievably complex that U.S.-Pakistani relationship actually is, not to mention the relationships of various groups within Pakistan, which is why the idea that "oh, the CIA just runs Pakistan" is so devoid in substance. Pakistan doesn't even run Pakistan, let alone any CIA puppet-masters.

Ask HN: Should investors have access to source code and servers?
I've seen opinions go both directions on this topic. I'm very curious to hear HN's input. It's a situation I'm dealing with right now.

In a standard venture capital investment arrangement, should an investor be allowed to have a copy of the source code to a product (and or have open access to all code), and root access to the servers the business operates (whether owned or rented)?

I think primarily this is an arrangement to be settled between the investor and the company, but I'm interested in what's considered normal practice.

In some cases, like Japan, they never really really recovered after 1990. Imagine if you were Bobsan, "It's been 20 years...." I shudder to imagine.

On a side note, looks like the nikkei really shows Japan's stagnation starting from mid 1990s....really isn't promising.

The identity of the poster is recorded as a core conceit of the system. The app/network is explicitly for sharing secrets between friends. It has to record and store who the secrets came from, in order to determine who their friends are and thus which users to show it to.

Before you even sign up it's quite clear that there can't be anything anonymous about this at all. It delivers plausible-deniability at best.

Their claims may be fuzzy. People may not be paying too much attention when they sign-up or use it. But they're quite clearly not trying to make an actually anonymous secret sharing site.

Even when cryogenic (and hydrogen needs to be deeply cryogenic to remain liquid. 20K compared to liquid nitrogen's 77K) it is not particularly dense. It barely makes sense to use it in rockets since it has such poor density, causes embrittlement, and requires a great deal of insulation if you want to store it for any reasonable amount of time.

If it is a chore to use the stuff for rocket science, I don't see it becoming a reasonable power source in more casual applications.

If I am factually incorrect about anything here, I honestly do want to be told so.
Typically an analyst would use both.

They tend to compliment each other for multiple reasons: Bing has imagery from a different time period (most of the time newer than GMaps, but some of the time older, which can be useful).

Bing also has the Bird's Eye view, and different aerial imagery in general, which can help with clarification and image artifacting.

So basically, we're using all of our available options. BTW, this is all run of the mill stuff in mil/int circles, but with better resolutions and light/electromagnetic bands.
Crowdsourcing military actions? How repulsive.
I'm amazed at the ignorance in these comments.

First, yes this is cool new science. No one imagined nickel would work as a water-splitting electrocatalyst. This is very surprising, and awesome.

Second, the point of water-splitting is obviously not power generation. It's power storage, just like a battery, but with better transport and storage characteristics.
The answer should be obvious. The market isn't predictable at all, for the reason that there are any number of players, each following a private strategy. Without cheating, without using insider information, you're better off investing in an index fund and tracking the slow but reliable increase in market valuation, instead of trying to track the unpredictable peaks and valleys along the way.

More here: http://arachnoid.com/equities_myths

People who use the index fund strategy are statistically ahead of all other strategies -- I mean statistically. You can obviously find exceptions, black swans, but as a matter of probability and averages, you're better off in an index fund than any other market investment strategy.

Guess who swears by this idea, and who is going to make all his relatives adopt it after he's gone? Warren Buffet.
Agreed! I remember doing something similar for my science fair. Unless these scientist at Stanford have devised a way to dramatically improve the efficiency of the process then this is not a discovery at all!
The problem of selecting a good measurable metric is not solvable.
In my experience small but stable companies have a hard time justifying hiring new graduates. New graduates are especially expensive for their output. 2-3 years of experience goes a very long way into bumping the productivity of a developer. At the 2-3 year mark I can still hire them at junior developer wages without taking the hit of all their inexperience.

That said, I have been apart of new graduate hiring processes, but the most success I've had with those was bringing in multi-year interns and that process was a hedge against the up times in our industry.

[edit] Reading this it might seem like I'm implying that the current norm for people to consider SV vs WS is good. I don't mean that. I actually think that new developers would get the most bang for their buck developing "in the enterprise". There are lots of big companies that are not IBanks that can afford new grads and you would learn a lot working there (which should be the goal of a new grad).
This is funny but why stop at the headline? These rags exist purely to leech and hijack traffic and that defines more than just their headlines. The example URL was stolen from Reddit and as per the norm attributed in such a slimey, parasitic way there's no reason to go to the source after -

A better solution is to stop rewarding plagiarism and shitty sensationalism with traffic. A plugin that redirects you to the original source. Or actively fighting it - Reddit and Facebook can shut it out any time they want.

I have a lot of respect for Walter and for D. But having not enough time to try everything, I'm leaning towards doing a project in Nimrod[0] when I have the time.

D people who have some knowledge of Nimrod (or Nimrod people who have good knowledge of D) - where do you think D outdoes Nimrod? D is more mature, with a larger community, and a recognized brand - granted, and these are NOT trivial things -- in practice, they usually matter more than any specific feature. Yet, my question in this case IS about language/environment features.

As far as I can tell, all the examples in the article can be done at least as easily/tersely/nicely, if not more so, in Nimrod.

Lessons Learned from an All Girl Coding Class in Southern Indiana
I can't believe noone has mentioned NRO and NGA:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Reconnaissance_Office

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Geospatial-Intelligen...

Relatively less is known about them, since CIA and NSA get all the attention lately (to their detriment), but as far as we can tell (from Snowden docs), NRO has about equal budget to NSA, and NGA has about half (and CIA has 1.5 times NSA's):

http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/black-...

Considering the incredible things NSA has been able to do with its $10B/yr, a combined NRO+NGA budget of $15B/yr sure raises a lot of questions. Presumably, they do a lot of work similar to the OP's - but noone really know what the capabilities are.

> If I were to nitpick I would say docker is doing none of those things. LXC is. Docker is just freeloading off LXC while providing almost no benefits.

This was true in early versions, but now the default container "exec driver" is libcontainer (a pure Go container implementation), and you can swap to LXC "exec driver" if you wish. To say Docker is piggybacking on top of LXC is unfair when in reality Docker wrote thier own container implementation.

"The existence of such [gravity] waves predicted by Einstein’s theory of general relativity was beautifully confirmed by the observations of the binary pulsar PSR 1913+16 by Russel Hulse and Joseph Taylor (who were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1993)"

Really? Science articles (SciAm etc...) had led me to believe that gravity waves had yet to be detected.
There's a key point missing from this article: who gets respect where. Companies like Google are run by engineers while companies like Goldman are run by business people. This sounds obvious, but it has deep implications for how you are treated, how much potential you have to develop your career, etc. The best way to have a great career is to be close to the core of your employer, i.e. where the money comes from. If you aren't, you'll be a necessary evil who can be mistreated without much risk to the company (there are of course exceptions, like product managers at tech companies and quants at finance companies).

I think tech is a great place to be right now for anyone who can get a job in it. But my advice to new graduates is to be strategic in your career, i.e. look ahead 10+ years when you'll be more senior. Go in a direction where you'll be valued.

`docker rmi` can be tricky, but it can and does actually remove an image. The problem is if there is an image with multiple tags at the same commit (layer)... in this case it just untags until there are no other tags pointing to that commit.
Alternatively, you can use the ID, I believe that always removes as expected.
