I did, but it doesn't make sense in the context of the first one (it doesn't matter that peers may accept longer keys if everyone must use 2048 bit keys). But with your correction it makes sense.

I'm still interested in the reasoning behind accepting 2048 bit RSA keys instead of setting a 3072 bit minimum, which corresponds to AES128 in security[1][2].

There are some Sony screens that do this.
Observing the sameish discussions over the years, that size limit preference you are talking about seems to be steadily rising.

I'd hypothesize that if you analyzed tweets and comments about screen sizes, the ideal screen size per year would look something like this:

2011: 4.0 inch

2012: 4.3 inch

2013: 4.5 inch

2014: 4.8 inch

2015: 5.0 inch (projected)

2016: (median size for high end phones in 2015)

Eventually we'll get to something that is the most practical in use. I think 4.7 inch is pretty good, but of course I'm biased towards my current phone, and I'll probably update my preference with my next phone.

You really don't want things made substantially of glass when you have to hold them at arms length and bash them around nooks and crannies :) One of the nice things about Dyson vacuum cleaners is that you can take most of the important bits apart by hand - something other manufacturers don't seem to bother thinking about. Vacuums get blockages all the time, especially if you happen to have cat litter made from wooden chips...
The Colgan pilot pulled back on the yoke due to the belief that the aircraft had accumulated, and was stalling due to, ice on the tail. A correct response in this case is actually to pull back, rather than lower the nose as in a typical stall.
But the latency will probably be huge enough to be a blocker.

There's a bunch listed (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-3.1/gcc/Optimize-Options....), including

-O0 // Do Not Optimise

This sounds like it should do the trick (but I've not done C coding for quite some time, so I don't know if there's a nuance as to why it wouldn't), but would also presumably kill any other optimisation.

A better option may be to combine that with pragmas (https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Specific-Option-...) to switch optimisation levels within the code.

Anyone who's played with GCC recently know whether this would work or not?
I own the vacuum pictured in the first link. I bought it with high expectations and disappointment began to set in almost immediately. After 3 years of not-totally-clean floors and periodic struggles getting the rotating brush to work, I finally replaced it with a much cheaper competing brand. My carpets and floors have never been cleaner.
But you can pretty much ignore the time-telling functionality (I guess that's what most people do, anyway) and still retain the aesthetical value. Of course, watches might not be your thing, but it just sounded a little strange - do you value jewellery and its aesthetical value only until they have some sort of functionality?

P.S. I don't get smartwatches, too. At least, in their current incarnation(s).

Equating runs scored with game interest is mistaken.
That didn't seem scary at all.
It appears that you are placing a very high value on how shiny things are and their presentation. In that case Dyson is probably not for you; they are fundamentally an industrial engineering organisation.

I own that model of vacuum you have photographed, and it's just.... good. Lightweight, easy to push around tight corners, and sucks up everything in my flat in under 10 minutes without ever having to fight it. It makes it very clear that ever other model I've ever used was not very well-designed.

It is not the kind of status symbol that you appear to be seeking. Kirby makes those and I think you'd be a lot happier with their products.
> Form over function? They made something that looks elegant without considering how people use watches.

But people use watches as a fashion item. Form is very important in a smartwatch - the previously released Wear devices were criticized for looking geeky and non-watchlike. Having a smartwatch look like a regular watch is a big deal, and the very reason why this one gets praised and the others received mixed responses.
That's on top of the dimmed display. It runs in the dimmed power save mode, but when you "flick" the watch towards you (slightly exaggerated movement compared to a normal glance at a watch) it turns up and accepts voice commands (at least on the G).
No. To "pick up the glass" means something in this world, and you can imagine yourself doing it, which is why you "understand" it. "I see what you mean" means nothing different than "I get it", which even a blind person can understand. A better example would be, you can't really understand "to have sex" before you actually experience it (and even then, only for your own sex).
Indeed, flicker fusion for humans pretty much tops out at 80Hz, but you're underestimating the effects of smooth pursuit eye movement. For example, if you animate a fast-moving object at 80Hz on a 160Hz display, and follow it with your eyes, you will see two copies of the object. There's really no upper limit for this effect.

Do you use Google's services? If you don't, Google Now won't be as 'good as advertised' because it relies on that data which may not seem obvious at first (by the way, Windows Phone's Cortana is much better at requesting and displaying the background data it needs; Microsoft has leap frogged Google and Apple already).

I use Google Mail, Maps and, most importantly, Calendar. I've opted to share the information from those services with Google Now. I've found it's very reliable and useful.
Our Roomba does a good job on the corners. It has a rotating brush that sticks out.

I really hope Apple decides to call the iWatch something, anything really, that doesn't have the word "watch" in it. It's going to typecast it as something it's not, which is a time-telling device. That's really the most uninteresting and elementary functionality that these watches are going to provide. I really want to wear something that tracks heart rate, blood pressure, room temperature, sleeping habbits, etc. Telling time is the last on the list of shit I care that these things can do.

Yup - I think you've hit the nail on the head here - these guys probably spent most of their time up to their shoulders in water - keeps predators away, supports a big chunk of their mass, eliminates the "fall over and you're dead" problem - which would be something of an evolutionary disadvantage if they were purely terrestrial, and would probably preclude their very existence were this the case.

Also - it happily explains how it ended up in quicksand, at the bottom of a lake or what have you.

Edit: further to this, this is also supported by the huge chevrons on this thing, as if you're a big-ass dinosaur who likes to paddle, you're going to want to use your tail for locomotion, which mandates big muscles, which mandates big anchors for your big muscles.

Back to back, most likely - docking with cloacas and all that - unless of course this is a female, and they've estimated the size incorrectly, as it might have disproportionately massive legs in order to take the additional mass of a male on her back, and may in fact be a smaller dinosaur with abnormally stocky legs due to breeding practices.
Now is ok, but can be slightly odd. Like, a card will flash up on my watch mid-morning giving me directions and time to home. Or details of a football game three days in advance, which is cool, and I dismiss it, but it doesn't come back on the day etc.
There are really two things in the code. There is the spec about Markdown and two implementations that conform to the spec, written in C and JavaScript.

The former is a standard spec and test suite about derivatives of Markdown, some of which have basis in implicit and explicit blessing to use the name "Markdown." I'm not sure claim to the name makes sense in the spec definition is a valid claim, though.

It would be like requiring every author to specifically request official blessings to write about trademarked (registered or not) subjects. That'd be silly as it falls well within fair use of the name. The name "Standard" or to a lesser degree "Common" complicate ownership, certainly. I think I would have preferred the verb instead: "Standardized." Regardless, "Markdown" is the subject of the spec, not necessarily the product.

The latter implementations, however, probably shouldn't use the name Markdown in them at all if Gruber doesn't want them to use it. They really don't need to exist in the spec. They're just examples of valid interpreters. Spin them off and rename them, leaving the spec and tests.

What's clear to me in all of this is there is value in portable markdown that will parse the same across applications and services, whether we call it markdown or not.

The drama of it all is amusing, in any case.

God, yes. I chose the Moto X earlier this year exactly because of its screen size. At 4.7 inches, it's still a little too large for my tastes. I think 4 inches is ideal. But 5.2 is way too big, and I won't be upgrading to the Gen 2 Moto X.

I think those of us with human-sized hands have to take a step down to mid-range phones to get a decent sized phone, even if we're willing to spend the money for high-end specs. I was really hoping Motorola would corner the reasonably-sized market, but I guess they're just jumping on the phablet train with everybody else.

I'm no network engineer, but as I understand it, to support IPv6, companies need to replace their switches. I think it's fair to say that there are literally millions of switches that need replacing. We are talking billions of dollars in total investments. I really don't see how it's surprising that this will take a while. Billions of dollars don't hang on trees, companies need to earn the money before they can spend it.

At the same time, because IPv6 is used less frequently, it is more expensive. The price of electronics is determined by volume: the more you produce the cheaper it gets. This means IPv6 has a price disadvantage to IPv4, which is especially noticeable in the early years (of ~0.1% adoption). A device that is produced at only 0.1% the volume of the most popular devices will be considerably more expensive.

This is, in part, why we see an exponential adoption curve: the more people who buy IPv6 equipment the cheaper it gets, and the cheaper it gets the more people buy it, this chain reaction helps to cause the exponential adoption rate.

I'm not saying everyone will end up using IPv6, although I think it is likely, but I'm saying it should be no surprise that replacing billions of dollars worth of network equipment takes time.

A well played 1-0 baseball game that takes 2 hours to complete is an absolute joy to watch. A 1-0 game that lasts 3:30, not so much.

It's not the score or HRs or or the hits, it is the length of the game that is ruining baseball. Get the games back to 2 - 2.5 hours and it will be fine.
In baseball, the rules were not being 'changed' they were just being applied inconsistently because of human limitations. The umpire (or is it referee in baseball) is just another player - human and error-prone. When 'he' (is there a 'she'?) becomes a faultless, indisputable 'it', then that part of the game is lost.

Even in chess, these problems exist. Think of Bobby Fischer moaning about the cameras in 1972.

This is actually really big news for anyone running or interested in running a Docker-based PaaS system such as Deis or Flynn. DigitalOcean's cheap instances are a great match for Docker containers.

As of Deis 0.8.0 it only runs on CoreOS, and I believe most other DIY PaaS systems are moving the same way.

IMO Docker + etcd is a far more sane configuration than endless Ruby Chef scripts, or worse, Amazon OpsWorks.
Ask HN: Are founders personally liable if failed DE c-corp owes franchise taxes?
We've arrived at the difficult decision of shutting down our company, a Delaware c-corporation. However, we have outstanding franchise tax liabilities for the last fiscal year with the State of Delaware that the company cannot cover (it’s insolvent) and that I rather not pay for personally. Reviewing the requirements for a formal dissolution in 8 Delaware Code §277 (http://delcode.delaware.gov/title8/c001/sc10/index.shtml) it says that Franchise taxes have to be paid by the corporation before the Corporation can be dissolved.

I am assessing whether a formal wind-down (including settling company's tax liability) is the best course of action or whether we could pursue a hands-off approach and allow the Secretary of State to repeal the charter.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Great site! Very creative and well done.

There's more to it than that. My friends with Samsung phones have nothing but issues with the software; frequent reboots and horrible performance. Maybe it's simply because of their popularity that I hear about issues on Samsung phones, but regardless, I'll never buy a Samsung. I don't know much about the Sony. Does Sony do stock Android? Having as close to stock Android as possible is a major, major selling point for me. I would downgrade to a mid-range phone with stock Android over a higher-end phone with a custom skin or whatever.

I would say so.

I have a Moto X at 4.7 inches and it's a little too big for comfort. It's usable, and you do get used to the size, but I can't reach the top of the screen from every hand position. The HTC Incredible 4G I used to have, at 4 inches, remains my ideal screen size. Unfortunately, that means I have to compromise on performance, since there are now no reasonably-sized high end phones.
