I have had this experience in Maryland in 2009. Luckily it wasn't a very serious emergency in then end. There was a small explosion in our heater and I smelled smoke, so I wanted the fire department to check it out. I called 911 repeatedly on my cell and repeatedly got a busy signal, finally I went back in the house, got out my computer (before smart phones) and looked up the local fire department number. After they arrived they asked me if I called 911, and I said I couldn't get through and they said I needed to keep trying so they had it for their records?!? The fact that they asked sort of implies that this happens often (or maybe they just knew that I had called directly). It was a weird experience, and turned out that I was lucky that the heater hadn't completely exploded. I definitely don't think I will ever trust 911 again.
Because building one is non trivial. It deters competitors from attempting it.

Ukraine mandates paid leave, which can be extended for up to 3 years (with partial pay), which created an unintended consequence - it's extremely hard for a young woman to get hired, and it's next to impossible for a young woman with a hint of pregnancy to get a job.

There are anti-discrimination laws, but proving anything in court beyond reasonable doubt is time-, money- and energy-consuming.
The "10k for 3 days" is not the type of charge for a guest using wifi in a room. It's the type of charge for a large event using wifi in the hotel's convention/conference center. And that number is not so far off what a lot of places charge for such things.
Again, this is not the type of charge for guest-room wifi. This is the type of charge for convention/conference center wifi, where an event wants to do something like live streaming. Typically the most cost-effective option is for the event to bring its own gear with a high-speed cellular connection; the conference/convention facilities at this Marriott were actively jamming such gear to force use of the Marriott's own connectivity at high prices.
Demonstrably untrue. The people affected are persistently, spectacularly unsuccessful. It's unclear why more investment into helping with Ebola would work where previous intervention in other crises has failed.

the math actually works, given a strong enough cable. You would lower a tether from geosynchronous orbit, and simultaneously extend a tether into space. Thus, the total mass stays centered in geosynchronous orbit, and the lower tether gets pulled towards earth because of gravity, whole the upper tether gets pulled away because of centrifugal forces.

Thus, in the end, you have a tether that lightly touches the ground without force and stays in the same place, and an outer tether that extends about a third of the way out to the moon. The tensile forces would be strongest in geosynchronous orbit and weakest at the ends of the tether.

Another benefit of this construction is that you can use the outer tether to launch spaceships into space at escape velocity without any need for propulsion. You can even use tethers on other planets to catch such payloads again.

This construction does not eliminate the need for propulsion to reach orbit. But, you now can push against the tether instead of slippery and ever-thinning air, and you don't need to worry about lateral acceleration.

Missiles used by the military already use inertial navigation to avoid GPS jamming issues so it's definitely possible.
The sickness you are suffering from is much worse than Ebola and much more difficult to treat.
Depends a lot on the libraries, too. I had to scrape a bunch of HTML recently, which I prefer to use XPath for; the library I used -- HXT, if I remember correctly, it was the horrible one that uses arrows -- made my program perform on par with Ruby, and when I benchmarked it, I found it was allocating about 2GB of data throughout the program, while parsing a document that was probably around 100KB.

> so the folks who are bright but not selfless go into advertising and entertainment and consumer products, areas where it's "ok to get rich."

I think the answer is to figure how to stop people from getting rich off advertising and consumer products (and wall-street speculative manipulation of financial instruments).

More realistically, the answer is to make sure that science is well-funded and scientists get great pay without tying that to adding artificial restrictions to their results.

> Haskell won, even beating the reference 'C' implementation

This has always interested me. I have never gotten an answer, and I suppose I can't seriously expect one now, but I am still compelled to ask:

Why did you put C in quotes up there? Why isn't Haskell in quotes? You didn't put C in quotes in other parts, but that isn't what I'm talking about.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. Obviously, Haskell can buy you a number of guarantees, but just like the fact that your program type-checks isn't proof against logical errors, it also doesn't mean you wrote the stop condition for this recursive function correctly, or that you are not going to run out of memory at runtime.

In practice, and it has also been my experience, as long as you leverage the type system, the debug time necessary to get a correctly-working program in a statically, strongly typed language tends to be significantly shorter than with a dynamic language (or with a statically typed language with a more primitive type system). The size of the code is often comparable as well.
I can't seem to find that. You mention something about risk -- but I'm not sure which risk that is. As I understand their license page, you need a license per developer. The resulting code you're free to sell under a closed license. If you want to sell work under a closed license, you're covered. If you want to sell it under an open license, you can sell it under the AGPL. Exactly what are you missing from this kind of dual-license?
That could be it... thanks. I went as far afield as Hammer (DragonflyBSD) -- but didn't think to look at BeFS...

The solution is to use a .tar file, but give it a custom extension (like, say, .deb) and so when the user double clicks on it, the system knows it's a software package and installs it in the appropriate directory.

I think the biggest 'benefit' to having a drone perform these tasks is the fact a robot is carrying out the task.

For example, instructing a drone to assassinate is potentially closer to hiring a hitman, than murdering someone firsthand with a shotgun. Closer in the sense that the puportrator feels a sense of detachment.

I Fear My Dissertation Is Not Having the World-Changing Impact I [ . . . ]
“You can’t legislate your way out of a red-hot housing market, but the Board of Supervisors is trying to mitigate the damage,” Ms. Wolf said. “This is a big problem. If you don’t care about poor people, you should care about tourism, which is our No. 1 industry. You have to have a service class, and they have to have somewhere to live. If we’re all white yuppies, we’re not so interesting.

The arguments against rent control aren't premised on not caring about poor people - they are based on not privileging those poor people who happen to live in San Francisco. Being poor has a whole range of potential negative consequences, and that's why we have things like welfare, progressive taxes, and EITC.

Also, rent control benefits a lot of people who aren't poor, for no obvious welfare reason.

Regarding the need for service workers, the market can deal with that: wages will increase if enough workers leave due to rent prices. The outcome will involve higher prices for those services, but according to the second welfare theorem, it will still be an efficient outcome (please look up the second welfare theorem if you are busy typing "efficient for who?").

On the cultural side, I can see the potential benefits from having a mix of different incomes in a city. But statements like if we’re all white yuppies, we’re not so interesting betrays a certain animus towards Whites.
What if the 5,000 domains were seized and shut down to prevent a massive worm that had compromised millions of computers and would result in massive theft against millions of consumers?

In the vast majority of cases law enforcement and court actions against domains are justifiable and benefit the internet.
Last I looked, the HTTP/2 RFC didn't even specify DNS at all.

I regard this as the worst-case scenario. It is a baffling omission. The HTTP URI scheme [RFC7230] does nothing to clarify matters:

"If host is a registered name, the registered name is an indirect identifier for use with a name resolution service, such as DNS..."

In my view the WG has the opportunity to definitively fix the problems of dual-stack discovery and of apex record service names, and the refusal to do so is exceedingly disappointing. We're left with implementations of Happy Eyeballs that have lookup race conditions and therefore nondeterministic behaviour.

All the arguments against using service records are actually complaints about artefacts arising from the current ambiguity in resolution practices, and thereby perpetuate the problem.

The proper choice should be that all IPv6 sites should be resolved via SRV rather than raw AAAA lookup - this is the soft introduction that over the years will ramp up to a global first preference for service records, and remains compatible as a variation on Happy Eyeballs.

But entrenched positions don't change and I have no clout with the WG or with browser product managers, so I gave up.
Let's say a Mariott bus driver was caught racing down the freeway at 100mph in a company vehicle. Do you also wish to shut down Marriott, Inc for this offense? This is actually putting _lives_ at risk. Much more jailworthy than some mid-level manager's decision to violate some FCC rules, right?

I don't see FPGA acceleration being useful in mainstream computers soon. By the way, AFAIK the one in Novena is primarily intended for data acquisition, not acceleration.

FPGAs are generally good for accelerating data-parallel applications, but we already have had SIMD and GPGPU for a while. Both these technologies are only used by a small subset of the applications which could benefit from employing them. Why? I would say poor tools and abysmal programmer literacy. Automatic vectorization for SIMD sort of works, but it tends to miss lots of opportunities. Automatic acceleration with GPGPU is pretty much in the research phase. Manual development for SIMD and GPGPU takes skills that most developers don't seem to have at the moment and the trend towards high level, highly abstracted imperative languages isn't helping.

I guess at this point it might seem like I'm contradicting myself. The software side of things is lagging behind for GPGPU and SIMD, but these technologies are still mainstream. Why wouldn't the same happen for FPGA accelerators? My answer is cost. SIMD requires just a few small functional units and registers, a fairly small chip area in the processor compared to caches; the general purpose processor is itself a fairly small part of a SoC. GPGPU didn't require significant architectural changes from the shader model. FPGAs large enough to be useful, on the other hand, are expensive. Maybe economies of scale might make a smaller FPGA cheap enough to be included as an accelerator, but as far as I understand high transistor count / large area / low yield is unavoidable.

Plenty of exciting stuff going in research, but automatic use of accelerators would work much better by moving to a dataflow model of programming.

Personal prediction: non-monotonic same-ISA heterogeneous computing is going to be the next big thing, maybe in the form of reconfigurable pipelines. A bit more far fetched: phase-change materials for very aggressive short-term DVFS to lower latency on mobile.
This is the correct answer. Angular momentum in the system is conserved; as you move mass up the space elevator, the earth spins (imperceptibly) slower.

Note that the tether only moves at orbital velocity at one point. Below that point, if you want to get into orbit, you must accelerate laterally after releasing the tether.

Funny. I observed the same, yet my post above is at -39. Assume I touched a nerve. Don't criticise the government on HN, it won't win you friends.
I disagree. My locality is not better off. The centre of my town now nearly consist of fashion and coffee shops. And people working there are not more useful to society. They are selling nothing I need. I'd like to actually be able to purchase things that I use locally. The local society looses skills and functions. No service on broken parts, no local knowledge, well, except for fashion knowledge and his to package a latte.
The very first meeting I had with the best manager I've ever had, he asked me what my career goals were. After working for him for a while and demonstrating my interest in a certain sub-field, he got me an invitation onto a new team focusing on that sub-field.

Cruel and Usual Punishment: Is There a Humane Alternative to Prison?
Interesting reading the comments, seems DreamTeamFinancial.com went bankrupt and the domains were seized as part of the assets, even though some (many?) had been transferred elsewhere. I would guess you could get an injunction forbidding the domain seller who was liquidating the names from selling them until ownership was more closely established but it does seem like there is an education gap on domains that are "owned" by a company who then doesn't pay to renew them so they simply 'lose' ownership rather than selling them.
What a terrible thing to say. How can the actions of a state be immoral? The state defines morality, and is therefore always in the right. This guy is clearly insane.

Ha! Every Trader Joe's I've ever shopped at has actually been a pretty miserable shopping experience.

Sure, but in real life that's extremely unlikely. I never seen such a 'rootkit', meaning a rk complete at every level that disguises EVERYTHING (processes, connections, evades anti-rk software, etc.). It's been many years since the last time I was interested in security so things might have changed, but given the amount, time and effort that such a rootkit would take (to target specific OSes/versions) I'd say that it's highly unlikely unless it's gov-founded.
I find it strange that there's a debate about this. When it comes to cooking, medicine, law, architecture, hairdressing, design or sales, the best people manage a team and continue to practice themselves.

When a dev team manager doesn't understand the architecture of the systems and exactly how everything works, they cannot be in full control of the team.

Businesses need crossover people. People who can code AND who "get it" at a commercial boardroom level.
I've been using ARM machines as a desktop replacement for a few years now. Native applications run just fine on fairly modest hardware. However, for web browsing, a quad core Cortex-A9 around that frequency and with a 32 bit DRAM interface just crosses in the usable (but somewhat laggy) category. Cortex-A15 with a 64 bit memory interface feels much closer to modern x86 machines.

Novena's 64 bit memory interface might actually make a big difference. From my tests, a 1080p 32 bit framebuffer uses up around 1/4 of the system memory bandwidth with a 32 bit DDR3 interface.

I also get the feeling that desktop browsers (chromium, firefox) aren't very well optimised for ARM.

Did you test on newspaper text? 3% error rate looks like it, but the caveat would be that

(i) you want to tag other texts, and

(ii) a license for the Penn Treebank (i.e. the standard training set for English newspaper text) sets you back by about $3k,

plus another couple thousand if you want a commercial license for the Stanford tools (although GPLv2 means you can use it in a SaaS without getting one)
I don't think that's true, though. There are "safer" languages (for the informal notion of safety we're discussing). You're free to argue that the safety you gain in one language is not worth the effort, but you cannot argue that every language is equally safe.
There are already a few approaches out there for compiling C# to JS, like my JSIL (http://jsil.org/) and Script#'s unofficial successor, Saltarelle (http://www.saltarelle-compiler.com/). I believe there is a new Roslyn-based C#->JS compiler in the works as well.

I'm not aware of anything that approaches WebSharper's level of integration, though. It's a really impressive piece of work.
If you think you need 15 to achieve parity with the old salary, shoot for 30 (as a starting point). Your costs are systematically higher than an employee's, you'll have to pay taxes which were previously not disclosed to you as part of your income, you'll have to buy your own benefits, etc.

With regards to marketing to parents: in a similar situation, my strategy was to position the business as an extended job application to Google ("They basically won't take somebody these days who hasn't demonstrated above-and-beyond capabilities on the Internet") and continue doing so until mom and dad thought the Google idea was stupid when it was obvious that I'd make more money with the bingo thing. Also, try not to let this dominate your relationship with your parents, because their intersection with your professional choices is a very, very small part of life and they are, after all, your parents.

No shame in not liking the office life. It's virtually a cliche among my entrepreneur friends: we do this because we're totally useless for 9-to-5 at BigCo.
