Regarding the saltwater submersion: I think your scenario is not correct.

The whole orange thing displayed on that page will be have to be in contact with saltwater. Otherwise the ultrasound pinger (the cylindrical aluminum thing) doesn't even start emitting pulses... (conductive liquid on sensor pads is how they normally detect that they have to turn on)

The "lifetime" of 30 years, or 17'000 operating hours is for how long it's certified to run in a non-crashing normally operated airplane.

The 30 days in saltwater probably means that no moisture will have crept in through the covers and seals: You can rinse the power-connector and Ethernet with deionized water, let it dry, connect to the computer and read it out.

{A assume that these devices are read out much more often in cases of non-fatal crashes where they weren't subject to the elements that much.}

The block diagram they show has an separate component for the nonvolatile memory, in a "Crash Survivable Housing". Also I assume that the company at least has some plan for accessing data given a complete disintegration of the memory module, probably by contacting single flash chips.

I've seen this behaviour, too. Could it be worse in Yosemite if you have iCloud Drive enabled? Of course, Apple ought to listen to their own advice of "never do I/O on the main thread" but then they don't bother with sandboxing their own App Store apps, either.
This is silly. I'm an Indian (country with largest penetration of mobile phones, primarily GSM) and I can reasonably say that a large majority of the population knows exactly what a SIM card is.

Phones here are not appliances that you buy from the carrier. The device and the service are properly decoupled enough that people know the difference.

The Navier-Stokes have no problem with stall. The problem is that the Navier-Stokes equations are hard to solve (to use them predictively). The Euler equations do not account for turbulence at all. The Euler equations are good at modeling pressure, which is good for lift and shocks, but does not predict drag, and does a bad job when stall occurs. The RANS equations (a simplified form of the Navier-Stokes equations), do account for tubulence, but one needs a good turbulence model. No turbulence model handles stall well on a broad spectrum of cases, but the RANS equations do do pretty well for attached boundary layers (loosely, when shapes are "aerodynamic" -- like an airplane rather than like a truck or sphere).

Replying to you because you're the dev, just thought I'd let you know that your gravatar system is case sensitive, it seems to only work with all minuscules, yet google login seemed to automatically add capitals. So the combination means gravatars dont show up.
This seems quite nice. With traits, this could become fully generic, as well: with a generic version of FromError, you could try! a function returning Result<R, E> for any error E.
"Gigantic"

-> True. I don't know if it's the biggest in the world but it is indeed gigantic.

"The best food in France [...]"

-> Bullshit. The best food in France (like, probably, anywhere else in the world) comes from small local producers.

"Where France’s Top Chefs Buy Their Food"

-> Probably only partially true. Top chefs (Michelin starred) source their products directly from small producers (see above).

"But ask most Parisians if they’ve heard of it, and they’re likely to shrug and shake their heads."

-> Total bullshit. Most Parisians know about it, and it's been featured on national TV (including popular show like Top Chef and Master Chef) times and times again.

I loved erlang. I still do. To me it is the most well designed language/library set for distributed programming. I love their approach about error handling.

But I find golang much more accessible. Erlang does not scale down, for simpler tasks, erlang feels like an overkill.

Also while I love erlang syntax, and the functional style, my colleagues find golang lot more palatable than erlang.
> the author mentions "suction,"

Yes, and he defines it immediately: "suction, i.e. negative pressure relative to ambient" which is exactly the same as 'negative gauge pressure'. So why is this problematic?

> the wing isn't being "sucked" into that

And he never says it is. You're attacking a straw man.
He seems to think that equities are some kind of sinkholes where the money simply gets tied up or disappears. He doesn't understand that the money used to buy a share has to go to the seller of the said share, who might in turn use it to consume. It's actually an incredibly common fallacy that keeps getting brought up time and again.

Just to clarify, the quoted article says:

> Todo esto es habitual. Prácticamente ningún país del mundo dispone de la tecnología necesaria para construir un satélite “100% nacional”.

"All of this is normal. Practically no countries have the technology needed to construct a satellite that is "100% national"".

Furthermore, the article quotes an article by ARSAT itself, where it clearly states what parts are to be outsourced.

http://www.arsat.com.ar/novedades/arsat-awards-contracts-for...

Unfortunately I can't translate that because I don't know how to translate the technical terms (even though I am a technical person myself, I don't know the terms mentioned there, I assume because they are particular to satellite development), although it mentions a hardware component and the space "payload"
Another point to consider:

Apprenticeships only pay off for the company if they can expect the apprentices stay with them for a few years after the education is done.

And in Germany there's a big cultural bias for keeping jobs long years. My impression is that that's not the case in the USA.
They always offered updates in 100$ steps, and price wise the 64G is where the 32G would usually be. If they really kept the previous logic, the 16G would have been gone and the lineup would start at 32G, or we'd still start at 16G but the 128G would be 100$ higher than it is now.

That's on this basis that I was thinking, they couldn't get themselves to start the lineup at 32G. I guess it's the same pressures at play as for the 8G iPhones.

I pay $176/month for 3 lines with AT&T and all 3 lines still have the unlimited data @$30/month on them. I can buy 3 subsidized iphone 6s for $600+tax total ($200 each) or I can buy them each at $650. The price per month works out to about $27/month per phone. Will AT&T knock $27 off per month per phone if I buy them outright? The answer is no. I've talked to supervisor after supervisor about it and there is no discount if I upgrade and buy the phone outright up front. So I ask, where's the incentive?

AT&T is by no means perfect but given all the traveling I've done and my experiences with Verizon and T-Mobile (never tried Sprint) I've found that AT&T and Verizon are interchangeable and T-Mobile is not quite on the same level.

I know my rate plan hasn't become more expensive when I upgrade so how can I expect that it will become cheaper if I bring my own device?
What they did - fraud.

How they did it - shill bidding.[1]

Why this is illegal - You aren't allowed to manipulate the market.

Why the regulator acted - They needed to make an example of a HFT firm as there is a perception that HFT firms manipulate the market but regulators don't understand and therefore can't regulate them.

My take - This was 'low hanging fruit' and an 'easy win'. Obviously market participants need to trust in the integrity of the market prices and I think the firm in question made it obvious what they were doing. I'm skeptical that the SEC will catch the 'big boys' who are a heck of a lot better at covering their tracks.

I've noticed that most examples of regulatory capture provided in the Wikipedia article involve regulatory agencies failing to enforce rules on selected companies (e.g. BP was allowed to drill in the Gulf of Mexico without doing the environmental legwork, Goldman Sachs was allowed to manipulate the commodities markets, etc.), which resulted in Very Bad Things happening.
These cases don't show that "big government" regulation is bad. They show that failure to regulate is bad.
Off the top of my head, I can't think of too many examples of companies using the government to their own ends. OTOH, I can think of many examples of government restricting the freedom of corporations in the name of some social good. For this reason, I think that if we scaled back the government, corporations would have more power, not less. (Not to mention other negative effects of government abdicating its responsibilities in particular areas.)
May be I am missing something (I am not in the US). But, do you have to pay rent for the device if you go for the subsidised option? If so, then its not a subsidy. If it is a subsidy, then you are clearly gaining the subsidised amount. The only thing that you are losing is the ability to switch carriers for the contract period. Also, are you not allowed to choose a plan of your choice if you go for a subsidised phone?
He did say "no known" detriments and from all I've read and heard, that remains true. There's correlations and linkage suggestions flung all around in the medical industry, but until proven, I think it's perfectly alright to say "no known" whatever.

Besides the patronizing of the parent post, I do think your argument is valid. Mostly since you use the phrases "stronger possibility." But again, without clinical proof, your argument is only as good as parent's.
There are ethical questions about the person ripping off multiple different products and not crediting them. He is taking a bunch of things and putting them in a nice shiny box with almost zero end user configuration required. Now, that's a moral question and I'll let you all decide if it's right or wrong.

Coming to the technical aspects of the box, the product is fine in the sense that it does exactly what it says technically - routing your connection via Tor. Using verified credentials over Tor is a bad idea for that specific identity. If you're the kind of person who's going to buy this, I can take a guess that a large percent of the population wouldn't really know how it works and will think "I'm anonymous and private now, thanks to this little box" and use the Internet exactly as they were using it before - bad idea. The concept is flawed simply because a layman will use email and facebook over Tor and then bam! you can identify him instantly.

A little bit of both: my warrantee had long expired, but there was an extension for this very specific issue, since I believe it affects 100% of macbook pros from that series.

I've looked into this a bit more and it looks like my comment is entirely unhelpful: mine is a mid-2010 MBP, so while our issues look similar, they probably are not. Sorry about that, I should have checked before.
This is before AOL bought Netscape, before Loudcloud/Opsware, before Ning, before A16Z. It's interesting, knowing what came later, to see how he's described. It's a sympathetic profile, but it hints that he might be a one-hit wonder.

Here's what I find, as someone who's straddled both Anglo-Saxon and Germanic systems.

- In the UK, a lot of people have degrees, but it doesn't seem to matter what the degree is in. You have English and History grads trading bonds. You used to be able to get an options trading job straight out of school (some of my old bosses joined at 16, and are now the movers and shakers in certain option markets) but not anymore.

- In Switzerland (which I think is somewhat similar to Germany) not that many people have degrees, but everyone appears to be trained for their industry from a young age. My private banker is around my age, but started as a banking apprentice at age 16. He's a major asset for his international bank, and seems to know everything that folks in London know.

What are the pros and cons? I suppose if you do a degree in the UK, you can find a job in many different industries. But you'll probably have a steeper learning curve, since you won't be learning about bonds until you land at the desk. In the Germanic world, you'll somewhat hit the ground running. But you might find it hard to change industries, which is a problem at the moment for finance folks (major job cuts at the two Swiss investment banks).
Personally I have a resume/profile on Careers.StackOverflow.com, Angellist, CodeEval, Github...etc...

I don't expect engineers to spend any time clicking through profiles though. That's exactly the point, if you're recruiting for a startup you can afford to do things that don't scale (like reaching out the authors of your favorite open source repos, meeting people at conferences and meetups etc). If you need soooo many engineers right now that you need to employ tactics like farming LinkedIn...then we're a bad match anyway.

The point of my original comment was that some people (like me) prefer to be recruited in ways that don't scale because that lets us know that it's a certain kind of company (namely a small-scale startup that is hand-picking their team very carefully). And that's what appeals to me.

Serious Question: I know that since Vista, Windows can handle graphics driver and sound card driver crashes by restarting the driver.[1] That often leads to the program to crash too, if its using 3d graphics for example, but it does not require a restart of the whole system.

I don't what the point of lying about the source of the boards was. That was just stupid. This user htilonom is just milking it for all it's worth though.

I've seen those devices retail for as much as $30. $50 isn't unreasonable. That price should ensure they can deliver.

Let me put it this way. If I do a pkgsrc bulk build, what do I build it on?

Previously there was the XServe platform that I could have in a rack along my other infrastructure. They ditched that. The old MacPro's you could install in a rack, though they were massively overpriced for what it was a purely CPU-bound job. Now the new MacPro's are not rackable any more.

Mac Mini's were never great, but they were cheap enough you could buy a few and small enough that you could put somewhere, although it sucked.
The GSM standard was possible in 1981 when it was designed by a handful of public telecoms and regulators in Europe who had consumer protection and intra-european competition as a stated goal.

The new standard will be designed by corporate behemoths who's goal is lock-in and a competitive advantage (not just Apple and Google but companies like AT&T and Vodafone who want to kill MVNOs).
And with this sort of "use case" in mind, the vague name "Ever Accountable", innocuous-looking icon, and evasive description all work to the advantage of abusive users, by making it unclear to device owners exactly what this program is and what it's doing.

This doesn't match my understanding of how Tor works, and I'm happy to be wrong on this. Do you mean that their actions when logged-in/authorized will be identifiable as them, or if while using a Tor service, if you make any identifiable internet calls, the whole of the rest of your session is identifiable?

It depends on the application. For games, fotos, and videos glossy may be fine. But if you work a lot with text (as developer etc.) then matte displays are far better for the eyes.

For those that are curious, here is an image of the vault the article refers to, taken by my uncle earlier today: http://imgur.com/w6Jqku4 As you can see, it's currently under construction. The vault was created to withstand earthquakes, nuclear strikes, and various other sorts of natural disasters.

My uncle works for a company that creates archives of newspapers and licenses them to libraries, universities, etc. They had purchased the rights to millions of newspapers dating back to the civil war, but lacked the manpower to convert all of the microfiche into digital copies, and in turn have those digital copies indexed. The Mormon Church provides a massive labor force of people who are now digitizing the content for free, simultaneously making those records available to the public who hold subscriptions to that particular service and making them available for free to members of the Mormon Church. Through deals like this and over hundreds of years the Church has built the most impressive family history library known to mankind.

As a Mormon, I was required to know and research family history growing up, and am encouraged frequently to do so now. I just finished beta testing an iOS app called "family search" that the Church is building, allowing anyone to add pictures, video, stories, etc. of their ancestors. In doing so you run into people you are related to who are doing the same work, and learn thing about your roots you never would have known. It's fascinating, though I'm by no means a family history buff.

That observation is based on history. COBOL used to reign where Java sits now. The nature of corporations is changing, for the last nearly 20 years Java has enabled corporates to capitalise on investments in new hardware at a greater pace than COBOL did.

Golang is the new Java, you are watching it being born. Its not ready for the corporate world, its not on any large organisations radar (apart from its creator for course). The point is that Golang solves the problems of the future, it offer parallel execution to normal programmers.

In the future banks and large companies are going to stop having data centres of their own, CPU's are going to have 32+ cores. Java does not solve those problems natively.

Java is great, its got 40+ years of life left in it, but don't say that Java is strong because of its ecosystem. Ecosystems change from decade to decade.
