Authority's Duration
I studied under C J Rallis (thermodynamics). He was an extraordinary man and my only regrets was that I did not spend enough time with him. He was born in Mozambique and taught at the University of the Witwatersrand for many years. He was the only engineer that had a Thermodynamic Cycle named after him since the 19th century.

I could write a book about my experiences with him and how we finally produced an engine that had only one moving part!

That's what set me off. But the author's page has more recent stuff (2005 or so, I think).

There's also the fun "what's the most recent citation" hunt in the references section of undated papers - I had noted 1998 in this particular one.
Mac OS X has two different international settings: Language and Formats. The first one controls the interface language, the second one date/time, currency, and other formats. I hate using interfaces in my native language, so I set Language to English, but still have Russian formats.

It's an old article from Netword World but it is interesting. I read it a while ago but I remember that was very informative in how William Yeager conceived the architecture of the multi-protocol router (which in deed I think it was the multi-protocol feature the big hit of Cisco over Wellfleet).

Relationship Testimonials | anxiety management
Life is a fabric of relationships.Unfortunately it only takes one relationship (out of many) to send your life into a fast downward spiral.For example, maybe you have a bullying boss and your relationship (or lack of relationship with your boss) is affecting your family relationships.Or perhaps you have a wife or husband and you’re afraid the relationship breaking down in certain areas. And this is making you insecure and depressed.
Yes but then you need a certificate to store (your private key). If you are in the same computer it is not a problem, if you move to another one, then you need to take the certificate with you. I think the problem is not as easy if you want proper security mechanisms.
Right now, I'm in a Chinese net cafe, and 2 out of my 6 nearest neighbors are on Happy Farm.

The Business of Hacking You | TechJaws.com
I can't help thinking that you're conflating being poor with being socially problematic. Poorer and less educated immigrants often do the jobs that no one else wants in their new home and take opportunities that were denied them in their home countries. Just think of all the past generations of poor Chinese, Irish and Italians that were vilified for being poor - and how things have moved on since then.
"MySql and PostgreSql are actual threats to Oracle's profit margins. Guess which one they picked to kill."

"As the Harvard University labor expert Lawrence Katz explains it: 'If you think about the labor market today, the top half of the college market, those with the high-end analytical and problem-solving skills who can compete on the world market or game the financial system or deal with new government regulations, have done great. But the bottom half of the top, those engineers and programmers working on more routine tasks and not actively engaged in developing new ideas or recombining existing technologies or thinking about what new customers want, have done poorly. They’ve been much more exposed to global competitors that make them easily substitutable.'"

Does that make sense? Is it "engineers and programmers working on more routine tasks and not actively engaged in developing new ideas" who are faring worst among engineers and programmers? What kind of education reform would have to happen to increase the likelihood that most working engineers and programmers are actively engaged in developing new ideas?
This makes the book publishers' dilemna much simpler than the music publishers'. 99.99% of people don't read more than 30 books a month - though people might sample more different books and be more willing to drop books they didn't like, on a flat fee.

So what they should do is offer a $30/m for 30 books a month subscription. I'd be perfectly willing to pay that for access to their entire library, with the ability to at most read through 30 books per month. Another way to do it would be per page, so that you can sample many different books... e.g. 10000 pages for $30/m (assuming about 300 pages per book on average).

I would buy that in a heartbeat. I'd still buy physical books, but only those I want to own. Meanwhile, whoever's pulled this thing together gets a solid yearly income of $360 from me - much more than they get from all but the heaviest readers today.
That's silly... it would use up lots of battery, defeating half the point of eInk.
Hrm. Real conservatives don't buy crappy (new) products, they prefer to wear out old good ones.

Yes, there are processes that remove CO_2 from the atmosphere. And these only have enough power to compensate for natural outputs of CO_2, like that produced from respiration.

When we burn fossilized fuels, we're taking fossilized carbon and putting it into the atmosphere- billions of years worth of the natural process of fossilization reversed nearly instantaneously. In order for that to be compensated for naturally, we'd have to increase fossilization rates. This is impossible. Only a comparative technological solution to increasing fossilization rate (i.e. figuring out how to bury all that atmospheric carbon) will work.

Don't forget about remittance. Lots of immigrants send a chunk of their income back home. Think of the ads, Can I send money to {[India, Mexico, ...]|random} and get free cell phone minutes?

Incidentally, the point is not that immigration prevented unemployment from rising to 66%, but simply that the number of jobs tends to be proportional to the size of the population. New people == new jobs.

But the growth would also have to continue. In all real populations, population size has an upper limit(see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrying_capacity.) Of course, it's easy to forget that if you think about humans because it appears that technology has increased the carrying capacity for humans to a yet-unknown level. It's true that humans are going through a population explosion right now, but of course at some point we'll hit an upper limit.
Yeah, something that caught my attention was the bragging about how much less power it uses. If I didn't already like Macs, I would certainly assume they were trying to make me feel better about buying a more expensive machine which will run perceptibly more slowly. Shutting down a processor core between keystrokes seems like one of those things that sounds great in theory, but in practice will produce the old familiar beachball more often, since sometimes my 24" iMac has trouble keeping up with my typing already.

But probably you can turn that off, just as I've had to do with the low energy settings on my iMacs and old Powerbook.
This seems like a very narrowly focused study. I don't think the overall effect of violence in movies is within our ability to understand, so while this is interesting, it doesn't really answer any questions.
Actually, if you read the Lenovo post, TVs are precisely why the 16:9 ratio is being pushed by screen manufacturers: there's more TVs made (at 16:9), therefore, if they maintain the same aspect ratio for all screens they manufacture, there's less waste in the glass cutting process, which means 16:9 screens will be cheaper than custom-ratio screens like 16:10..

Most of the time the raw unedited videos and/or transcripts where available somewhere on the web, so the problem isn't the the information is unavailable, it's that most people don't have the time or energy to go through it all.

There have been rumours pinning the releasedate of the tablet to somewhere in the fall of 2009:

So it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they delayed that for a couple of days just to be able to steal microsofts thunder.

The general reception of the latest batch of 'mac stuff' was pretty underwhelmed, if they top it off with a tablet then that will turn around to endless press coverage.

Hi, thank you for your detailed explaination. That's what I thought at first.
I personally use tiny tiny rss to read stuff form all over the web. And I already find it hard to keep up with all my feeds.

I'm am no one to give advises, but perhaps you should focus more on the RSS aggregator aspect of your project, with emphasis on social sharing (which lacks in other alternatives).

I think today people who want to read stuff from the web prefer choosing their sources personally, and subscribe to its rss feed. And use sites like HN to discover new sources.

But then again, I'm no expert, it's just my personal feeling :)
I read an interesting performance comparison a while back (which I can't find now) which had some surprising results for sqlite with concurrent access. As I recall, it turned out that it was much faster to close the db connection and open it again for each operation than to keep a connection open and rely on the file locking to mediate access.
I was thinking of a search box in HN itself. But I settled with the key word book mark for http://searchyc.com/%s in firefox.

>and they were racially and culturally more similar to the average native

You're speaking as if there were some completely objective and ahistorical measure of racial and cultural similarity. Many of these groups are considered to be racially and culturally similar to the "average native" today precisely _because_ they immigrated some time ago. Italians, for example, were not considered to be white even up to the mid 20th century.

"The GPL Is a License, not a Contract" by Pamela Jones

http://lwn.net/Articles/61292/

Basically, if you want to do something that copyright forbids then you can't, unless you get permission. The GPL (and other share-alikes) gives you permission, as long as you obey its rules. Break the rules and you no longer have permission, just as if you were paying a monthly fee for permission and then stopped paying.

Funny story about relative job security...

When I was still in the early stages of my first start-up, in autumn 2006, and working full-time at my consulting job, I was also interviewing with various banks. Through this excellent recruitment agent, I got a series of interviews at Lehman Brothers which ultimately culminated in them basically creating a job for me in their Front Office product management team and offering it to me.

This was a very good banking job. Front-office based, plenty of exposure to all parts of the bank, creative, intense, and well paid. I hesitated, because on the one hand I had committed into the business I was starting (to the tune of several thousand pounds, and, more importantly, to a close friend...), and on the other hand this was an excellent career opportunity from the "corporate career" point of view.

I remember discussing this with my girlfriend at the time. Being very pragmatic, she resolved the question: "Most people," she said, "hope their whole life that they'll be able to start a business. You have the opportunity to do it now, to realise something that for most people remains just a dream. You may never get that opportunity again... but the Lehman job will still be there in a year or two if you decide that start-ups are not for you."

Well, she was wrong about the Lehman job. I'm going to have to accept that I will never get a job there now.
Language changes over time. You are technically correct but no one is confused by the author's terminology, because people clearly understand what he means.

And since people clearly understand what he means, there is no reason for him to change what he says or writes, because by definition he is using language correctly: he is communicating.
Interesting. I take it as a given that if Google has an application, they're eventually going to develop an API for it.
