> I know the Shuttle carried DOD Secure comm equipment in addition to it's in the clear UHF and VHF Radios. I'm assuming that ISS has something similar.

There's some obvious reasons why the International Space Station might be less likely to carry sensitive US military communications gear than the NASA Space Shuttles.
W3C has been proven useless or harmful time and time again. If it hadn't been for WHATWG they'd be at ICANN level of awfulness by now.
My last guess is that you're in a country advertisers don't care about. Other than that, I've lost interest and hope you enjoy your loophole ;)
A naive approach would be to have a portion of the subscription cost set aside and then distributed based on each customer's views, I'm sure that approach would have plenty of problems thouhg.
This is a bummer, I hate to see stuff like this happen. The payload in this rocket was the heaviest that has been included in an Antares launch, I doubt this had anything to do with the failure, but hopefully we'll find out.

Rocket science is hard, after all.

In the video, there are several pieces of debris that fly off and spin in a helical motion, I wonder what those bits are!

We just got ours:

Thank you for applying to Y Combinator; however, your startup was not selected to interview for the upcoming Y Combinator batch. We carefully reviewed thousands of applications and since there's a limit on the number of startups we can interview in person, we had to turn away a lot of promising groups. It's alarming how often the last group to make it over the interview threshold ends up getting accepted to YC. That means there are surely other good groups that fall just below the threshold.

Unfortunately we can't give you individual feedback about your application. This page explains why: http://ycombinator.com/whynot/

We sincerely hope and encourage you to reapply for the next batch. Applying multiple times in no way counts against you and a surprisingly large number of companies are funded after applying more than once.

We're trying to get better at this, but it's practically certain that groups we rejected will go on to create successful startups. If you do, we'd appreciate it if you'd send us an email telling us about it; we want to learn from our mistakes.

I went camping at Snow Mountain in Mendocino Forest a few weeks ago. Not a drop of water anywhere, only dry stream beds. Extremely high risk of fire. No sign of mammals larger than chipmunks.

Meanwhile, I'm sure this hasn't changed: http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21596955-drought... — choice quote: “Last week Barack Obama visited Fresno, in California’s fecund Central Valley, to announce $183m of federal aid before spending three days golfing on well-watered courses in the desert.”
same, the anticipation is killing me.
Not to slight your friend, but his was an unmanned launch to resupply the ISS, it's relatively common, comparatively easy, and successful (1 other failure in just under 80 missions).

No disrespect intended, but this is a disruption for the ISS, a loss (hopefully insured) for Planetary Resources, a real setback for Orbital... there's no point in sugar coating anything, it sucks. There's just no point in dwelling on it, either. RCA and move forward.

Politicians, like most of the public, prefer to believe they have power over markets, and will use top-down rationing, rather than market-based pricing. See the gas/oil shortages of the 1970's, vs letting the market choose the price and having supply/demand automatically equalize based on price.

Also, some of the officials making the rules on water restrictions are guzzlers themselves [1].

Under Orbital's license for this launch, LLO 14-091, they were required to take out more than $110 million in insurance for liability and government property. The portion of the insurance specific to U.S. government property is $45 million.

So, that'll be paying out.

Yeah, HTML/CSS/JS have lots of warts and hangovers from their respective document-oriented origins. But recent developments have been great, and there are myriad tools to make working with these technologies pretty enjoyable (SASS in particular changes the whole business of styling.)

I think that ultimately, building cross-platform, cross-device apps is always going to involve a fair bit of work. The web's still the best tool for doing that, and it's getting better.

"We are the inventors of the technology but we have no intentions of commercialising it or monetising it in that way," he said.

I agree it would be a lot easier and plausible for the biomedical sciences and for material/organic/inorganic synthesis. Certainly the theory work will be done by scientists and the design of experiments. Hmmm I wonder for people developing equipment if we could write a whole bunch of plugins that allow a robot to construct different modules of equipment from raw materials and a built-in 3D printer. Again theory and design by the scientist but won't have to spend hours building and testing each component. There are very few scientists I have met or heard speak, and I am at a top 10 grad school, that are doing any method/technology development that are a huge leap from pre-existing science and technology.

Pure speculation but I wonder if they rushed to test the engines that just flew. AeroJet's parent company claims they have lost over $31MM on the AJ-26 YTD[1]. There may be pressure from higher-ups to push through the issue seen at Stennis in May.

You're right: replacing HTML with protocol buffers wouldn't do much to make the web smoother. HTML is immediately parsed into a tree stored in memory, and the initial parsing overhead is negligible compared to asset load times (on this site, for example, Chrome reports parsing took ~0.4ms, whereas loading the tiny upvote arrow took a whopping 45ms). Once loaded, pages wouldn't be any more smooth than they are today if they used a binary encoding: regardless of whether you ship trees as binaries or text, after the initial parse the in-memory data structures used by the browser will be essentially the same. GZIP is fairly efficient at encoding HTML tags, and protocol buffers (and any other binary format) would have to encode all of the non-tag text on the page anyway. The gains from binary formats there are minimal.

Controlling browser prefetching and load ordering would do much more than rewriting to use a binary format, as would alternative layout options, as would better image formats, as would more performant VMs (e.g. better asm.js support), as would... A near-endless number of things. Text vs. binary for the initial document tree doesn't make an appreciable difference.
I have seen some taxi companies trying to add convenience--for example, I tried using TaxiMagic when I was in Denver for a conference. When it worked, it was great! I could see the car on the map as it arrived...But, the next time, I tried it during a mild snowstorm and the cab never arrived. So, I gave up on using them--but I imagine that with time, traditional cab companies will have more reliable apps. So, where will that leave Uber?

I imagine that there must be a floor to what can be charged such that a driver is willing to work for the service and such that Uber can earn a profit. So, let's imagine that the market segments and that Uber wins say 80% of the market and the rest is left between competitors (I say imagine this, because as someone mentioned, there is a STRONG inertia effect. If I already have a taxi app with my information in it, then unless the price/service advantage is large, then I'm unlikely to change.). I imagine that one area that Uber will still maintain an advantage is that they will have a pretty good map in large cities of the traffic patterns (based on tracking of cabs). I imagine that that routing information could be valuable to delivery services in general. While large players like Google, Verizon, UPS, and such already have such data, there must be smaller players for whom it would be useful. Cities themselves might find it useful for traffic planning.

Also, on a scarier note, Uber knows the route that its customers take. If it can link that data to demographics, then that might have some value for advertising along given routes, commercial real estate, etc.

I was at a top 10 grad school till 2 months ago. An assistant professor here wrote a paper which was a minimalist increment over her PhD work. Something you would expect to see in PlOs One but got published in Cell. I know of people in lesser ranked and less prestigious schools who have trouble getting more impacting papers accepted.
Negative!
Is Facebook really down?
Their costs would fall by that magnitude, sure. But so would everyone else's, so that doesn't immediately translate into higher margins.

I think it would benefit Uber more than rent-a-cars and other such services because of their greater effectiveness at finding rides to match with unused (driverless) cars, but that figure overstates it.

The thing that always drives me nuts with YouTube ads is when I look up an ad (usually a movie trailer) and then I am forced to watch another ad before I watch the ad I wanted to see.

I've always thought YouTube should charge corporations to host their content. Then instead of placing ads in front of Aunt Sally's cat video, the corporations more aggressively make ads that are interesting on their own (Like Old Spice. People look up their ads, they don't need to be held hostage to view them).
Incredible. I love the visualization, it fits the music perfectly. I could watch/listen-to this for hours. Great work, tobr
Off-topic but does anyone here have any first hand experience with redstation.com ? Hadn't heard of them before but have just checked their prices and they're in the same ball park as Hetzner. Surprised me given they are a UK based operation (our hosting always seems to be more expensive than equivalent stuff on the continent).
The rocket's payload may also be considered property. Lots of expensive equipment inside.

Very problematic is the potential of signers spam. Imagine people who blindly sign the keys only to appear listed when somebody looks for somebody well-known. Imagine ads in PGP keys.
Actually the problem here has to do with the scope where the declaration happens. If redeclaration happened as mentioned in your quoted text ie. assignment of a new value, there would be no problem. As is [in a different scope], a redeclaration of err is actually a declaration of a shadowed err variable.

>I think there is a much larger space using GPU to do the decoding as well.

I doubt that very much. Raw processing is very fast these days and I don't think you could make it faster with the GPU given the memory copying overhead. Look at darktable for an example of how the GPU is used intensively for the pipeline but the raw processing is all done by the CPU and is very fast.
Looks to me like they are embracing Typescript. This is basically a superset. If I was on the Typescript team, I'd consider it a victory.

I'm not a security expert.... but shouldn't exchange of the public key happen outside the channel of the message (ie. using a public key / certificate authority)? Otherwise, I could fake the message origination: write my own message, encrypt w/ my private key, and then sending you my public key -- you'd never know the message came from me rather than Snowden. (Could also do a more-sophisticated MITM.)
Searches for unfamiliar special characters should work. Single-character operators and syntactic sugar are one of the harder things to google for, and consequently, a big advantage of a purpose made language reference tool like you've made.

A simple solution:

? -> Optionals
?? -> nil coalescing
! -> Implicitly Unwrapped Optionals
<> -> Generics
as? -> type casting

…and so on

A Better solution:

provide a wikipedia-like disambiguation section for special characters (since `!` could be Implicitly unwrapped optionals, Forced unwrapping, or boolean negation)

The number 1 way to conserve water is to eat less meat. I don't think that people have learned this yet and most people have not changed their habits to consume less meat.

Serious question: why is it acceptable to change all kinds of behaviors, take shorter showers, fix leaks, turn off taps, and even install gray water systems, yet not change our behavior to eat less meat?

If you didn't eat beef for one day (1/2 lb beef = 1,250 gallons of fresh water) it could be the same as not showering for a month.

One exciting thing is happening in my field:
http://proceedings.dtu.dk/fedora/repository/dtu:233/OBJ/DOIu...

The TL;DR is that one international user facility is creating a universal locator for data that you can cite in your publications to point people to the raw data, which is curated by the facility and openly accessible. This is extremely cool! It may be of limited use without metadata about how the experiment was performed, but has the potential to be rather useful.

The DOE in the US is moving to put more of the research published with its grant money into the public domain--either with preprints, or if the publishers can be encouraged, the final articles (this seems to be under development).

For some of my friends in statistics, there seems to be a move towards reproducible research where you try to preserve the toolchain that was used to reduce the data--this is considerably harder.

So, I think that there's progress being made, but it takes time for change. Also, unless there are requirements from funding institutions, it's hard for individuals to justify the time requirements involved. While most of my raw data is on the web and a I put out a number of my reduction tools, maintaining the whole tool chain would be rather difficult.
