...using NASA's money. SpaceX's money is coming from NASA. So, no, SpaceX is not doing more per dollar than NASA is.

And fwiw SpaceX so far doesn't have anything resembling a rocket that'll make it to the Moon much less Mars. Let's first see if they can even get people into LEO first (using decades of research and knowledge that NASA paid for, of course)
A New Hour of Code
Certainly seems to be true in my case.
I don't understand how it works or could possibly work. How is your app going to detect that someone is accessing one of my accounts from Israel, as indicated in your screenshot?

Do you have software running on google's servers so that it knows what IP addresses are accessing gmail/evernote/one of the other services and can geolocate? (Obviously not). So how is this supposed to work?
I often wonder about price when I see great domain names like this. Sometimes they seem to boost the product and many times it doesn't matter. I saw a post on reddit about examine.com. I think the guy said he paid like 40k for the domain and he believes it was a big part of why they were growing. He basically said that he had money from previous business selling and he figured even if the site didn't work out the domain name would get him back most of that money if not more if he had to resell it.
No, much larger than the issue of open-source is that we already have dozens of major communication protocols that are not based on open standards or that do federation (one implies the another).

XMPP does OTR for example. And you know, the cool thing about an open standard is that it can have many clients. Throw federation in the mix and then many people will actually find it desirable.

Otherwise it's just a matter of being new and shiny. Because other than that, I don't understand how this new messenger competes with Hangouts, Skype, FB's Messenger, WhatsApp, Viber, iMessages, FaceTime, Snapchat, Y! Messenger, Lync, HipChat, Slack, IRC in general, or plain old calls and SMS messages, which are pretty cheap lately in Europe (at least in my country). Note that I enumerated about a dozen of popular alternatives.

I expect new entries to brag about something more than UI. Because my phone has the best UI ever - I just call somebody and that somebody responds because everybody has a phone number. I want to see open standards, federation and encryption, because otherwise new entries are useless for me.

So another proprietary walled garden that promises to keep my conversations secure, cross their hearts? No thanks.
I get the impression there were simply a lot fewer coffee/tea shops (a greater proportion of high street space was taken up by now-bankrupt retail, Woolworths and HMV and Borders). And the quality of the coffee was certainly worse.
They already know the correct answer if they are only showing you one image to solve.

When there are two images to solve, they know the correct answer to one. The other is shown to thousands of people, and eventually it is solved with high confidence.
From what I've understood about Paypal, international entities are more or less completely separate from Paypal US (hence these sorts of events).

Commonly it was API features that work subtly differently depending on the region of the world you're in, but help pages also end up with completely different URL schemes.
It's a bad link, doesn't work in the US either
Making Joyent the Best Place to Run Docker
Here are some of the problems I had with previous employees that tighter hiring filters would have prevented. Now that my mindset is "don't hire the wrong person" instead of "hire someone", I don't have these problems.

- Developer who only worked when being directly monitored. Every feature he worked on was seriously late.

- Sysadmin who had good technical skills but was scared to give anyone bad news until it was so bad the project was in serious danger.

- Developer who stayed stuck at the same junior skill level for four years because he never learned from his mistakes.

- Manager who was too timid to hold his directs accountable, which both decreased team performance and demoralized the team members who cared about their jobs.

I was able to help two of them grow out of these problems, but it took a lot of work. I failed with the other two and fired them, but only after they had caused a lot of damage to productivity and morale.

Sure, but many sites including Google like to ignore these (or at least have done so in the past).

The rationalisation is that users don't change settings like these, so their location is a better indicator than what their browser thinks.

Interesting, though the file api is not so useful beyond very basic needs, and tcp/udp seem to be completely missing.

It used to be that the major limitation in computing was hardware. Look at the creativity that it spawned.

This can be summed up in one word: demoscene. In fact I thought the article would be about the demoscene, just from its title.

History shows hardware kept getting faster, but there has been no decrease in the amount of ever larger, slow, unreliable software.

That's what I think someone who took this 30-year-leap would perceive if they switched from a computer of the 80s to a new system today: "This app is how many bytes!? It's pretty and all, but it can only do this? Why does it take so long to boot up?"

What exactly is the point of "programmmer productivity" and whatever problems some programmers think that this justifies?

I think it's more like a combination of laziness and selfishness: programmers want to be more "productive" by doing the least work possible, and at the same time are uncaring about or underestimate the impact of this on the users of their software. Trends in educating programmers that encourage this sort of attitude certainly don't help...

Yes, proprietary can be secure. But my question to you is why bother?

As a business model open-source arrangements such as Red Hat or the countless Hadoop services show that you don't really need to lock down the source code to create a successful business around it.

With communications software, the costs a closed-sourced software with magical trust-us crypto getting fully compromised is incredibly high. If people can't trust their basic tools to be private, nor be able to verify it, than they can't assume any conversation they have is private. That's a scary world IMO.

This is particularly true for broken encryption more than the presence of memory exploitation such as Heartbleed or Shellshock.
Hey dkarapetyan,

We're challenging the 'passive' vs 'active' paradigm. Most of the time we do exist in these binary states, rather somewhere along a spectrum between those two points. We think that if the opportunity is a good enough match - based on what you say you want - then you might be open to talk.

With regards to spam, no employer can message you with a notification trigger unless you make a clear choice to declare interest, after the match. So as a user you exist in two states - matched vs interested match. Only when you are an 'interested match' is your identity revealed to employers and conversation unlocked.

Ping me if you have any questions.

Best wishes

The problems aren't really JBoss related. I have very little problems with Wildfly itself. It is a clear improvement over previous versions, I had some problems with v7 which required me to upgrade the JSF modules, otherwise JBoss would suddenly die (in a crash & burn way) with a certain application we had.

It's mostly the "memory is not an issue" attitude most java devs have. It's not JBoss specific, we also have some services written in pure Java suffering the same problems - but the majority of the Java apps run in JBoss here. Stress tests in test/qa usually don't bring up the issues I've seen, which sometimes only occur after weeks of running flawlessly with production-grade loads.

The 'fix' is then running the critical apps twice behind a load balancer, waiting for one of the 2 instances to die (for logs/memory dumps), automatically restarting them - and hoping they won't go down simultaneously. Truth is - memory management in Java is HARD. When problems pop up, apparently finding the source of it is very difficult. I can't count the times I've heard "we think it should be fixed now", only to be confronted with another alert that the service died again a few weeks later. If it was one service we'd run, it would be fine, but we run quite a few more - resulting in weekly interruptions, tickets, sending of memory dumps to developers, convincing them - again - that it is their problem and not mine, ...

So well - I'm sick and tired of Java. The only thing worse to deploy and manage are Ruby apps. But that's a personal opinion.

I was confused about all of this until I read your comment. Makes perfect sense now!

Also makes me think that they can dump the whole charade and provide no security check at all, but that'd probably make the service-providers uncomfortable and they lose the user as a source of human-intelligence for classifying things on google image searches.

> The state of Bob's photon changes exactly when Alice does her measurement [1].

No, it doesn't. If it did, then this would lead to faster-than-light communication. The whole concept of "exactly when Alice does her measurement" isn't even well defined!

> Why? The state of a photon is given by 2 real numbers

Actually they are complex numbers. But this part of your point is valid nonetheless.

> The 'magic' does happen when Alice measures her state.

No, the "magic" happens when the entangled pair is first produced. Alice's measurement changes nothing on Bob's side.
Is it just me or are these bounties really low. Unless I'm misunderstanding identification bypass could be incredibly damaging for the company and their customers, but it's only got a $3000 reward?

In my personal opinion you want to balance bounties against how much money that the person could receive using the exploits, vs the amount of trouble they could potentially get into.

> but not all these people are idiots

Not to be picky, but it bugs me to see when people talk about two different things and don't understand each other.

Intelligence is not a linear value that could be compared like "person1 intelligence > person2 intelligence". With both of these terms there are always skipped implication of the area of intelligence.

By "idiots" he meant "small amount of/incorrect knowledge in the area of audio quality and human hearing", and by "intelligent" you mean "big amount of knowledge and efficiency in the area of writing computer code".
Hi, I recently found myself spending a lot of time searching for syntax. Hence, I built a search engine that returns the snippets you are looking for right away. I would love to get your feedback!

Why have they not caught on?
Or both are. Here in the UK I've never made any attempt to optimize my taxes; I called HMRC once (when I saw a big increase in how much tax I was paying over the previous month's payslip) and they told me everything was fine, and that's the total extent of my interaction with them. (I even avoid ticking the gift aid box on charitable donations, as I think that's immoral). I agree that there is no legal obligation not to minmax your taxes, but I think there is a moral one.

As someone who came from Europe to the U.S. on an H1B and then won a GC through the lottery: it never felts at all as indentured servitude.

Increases were purely determined by employee performance.

I understand that it can be frustrating for local STEM candidates to compete against foreigners, but let's not forget that those locals include the full spectrum, from best in class to worse, whereas those H1B candidates have a much higher chance of already being top talent. You can't fault companies for choosing the best.

well yes and no. In a way it is a win-win situation: It is reasonable in that it doesn't aggravate the situation for those who block cookies. (yet) And those that allow cookies get at least some convenience in return for that.

1 shuttle launch:
$450M (reality)
7 people
53,600lb to LEO

1 SpaceX dragon launch (ignoring for a second that it doesn't exist yet):
$160M (target)
7 people
7,300LB to LEO

So even if the Dragon V2 comes in at its targetted price and capacities (and all historical evidence says it very much will not do that), it'll take 7 launches of it to match the payload of a single Shuttle launch. Doing some quick math here... 7 * $160M is... a hell of a lot more than $450M

So pound for pound the shuttle is half the cost of the Dragon V2's estimated price.

And in terms of actually mission profiles take something like STS-31, the Hubble launch. Payload mass there was 26,187lbs. Assuming that weight could somehow be split perfectly into 7,300 chunks and assembled in space that's still 4 launches on the Dragon V2, or $640M.
