So one of the things I used to work on is software for cognitive radios: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cognitive_radio. One of potential features of cognitive radio networks is that each node can share information about its local RF environment, to allow the network to make frequency-selection decisions based on global information. It's easy to describe, very hard to implement. Very, very, hard to implement in a way that works every time, like anything that goes in a car must.

Heck, we have so far to go even within the scope of the technology we have today. One of the things I've noticed as a heavy Uber user is that drivers tend to get confused when they're first hailed, and again when they pick you up. GPS systems tend not to give you a good fix on your orientation until you're moving,[1] and when you get a hail on the other side of town, they're really not very useful for giving you the optimal "first turn." This is a really simple thing, that's probably worth a lot of money to a company like Uber, that's really hard to get right with existing technology. With distributed decision-making of autonomous vehicles, you're talking about something orders of magnitude more complicated.

It's a terrible story. The victims came to be known as "the Radium Girls," and you can find a lot more on it by searching on that:

To be fair, most of a relational database is not in the query, but the query planner, the scheduler, and transaction management.... this is great syntax, but doesn't offer much more than that.

EDIT: Ironically for a "functional" language, this strikes me as more of a LINQ-type library that provides a query across an in-memory structure.
> What are the chances that the person you spoke to had any knowledge of the action you are talking about?

Little to none, but this is by design. If they had made such a decision, tracing it to them is difficult. Easier to tell the phone reps nothing and push the blame onto either end of the transfer rather than on the path in-between. How many people will pursue this past just venting about it on the Internet?

> For that matter, how do you KNOW that the ISP did indeed terminate your large encrypted file transfer?

If it's a single transfer, then you really can't. That said, you can establish a pattern. For example, if your connections always terminate around the 20-minute mark and this happens regardless of the other end of the connection (or the network path to that end-point), you could make a compelling case that it's the ISP's fault at the very least.
Not Sony but Sony Pictures Entertainment which is an american subsidiary.
This would have been a much more interesting origin story for the Matrix, esp to play off of what machines would optimize for regarding human longevity.
If I had to guess, so that the user can decide which parts to keep, based on the entire title. If they submit it via a bookmarklet, and the beginning of the title is "Some Corp Offical Blog | Mission Statement Blah Blah | Announcing The Worlds First" - you get nothing of value.
Google uses both.
Depends on what variables you're plugging into your moral calculus. Spam typically doesn't actually cause bodily harm, political repression, etc.
My biggest issue with the article is no mention of MSFT or Azure. MSFT is a public company and by all accounts their hosted business appears to be growing very rapidly. So to not even mention what they're doing and how AMZN would also be concerned about them as competition makes the article kind of weak.

Oh so like, Analogies are like butterflies! Not everyone understands them, and sometimes people who do still miss the point of them.
AppGyver dev here! The core of Supersonic is framework-independent, so we're not at a risk of becoming stuck with an old version. We're monitoring AngularJS 2.0 closely, and will bring all relevant components up-to-date when the time comes to switch over (or we'll keep providing legacy support if that seems like its required).

As an example: unlike e.g. Ionic, our navigation is not built on top of AngularJS, but leverages the native navigation stack instead. Angular can be used to enhance the core Supersonic bits (as we do in many places), but it's not a lock-in.
<input type="text" maxlength=80 /> would provide a better user experience
Downtown city driving is certainly a high bar. Even veteran taxi drivers make mistakes or bad decisions when choosing a route. But certainly it seems like a a solvable problem, given that most apps/GPS units can track, and aggregate data to find the optimal route.

I was impressed on my trip that Google Maps actually recommended alternate routes (on the fly), with time estimates based on traffic. I was able to cut off a dozen or so minutes based on it's suggestions.

Also very impressed with the foresight that an app like Waze offers. During my 8 hour trip I navigated for 4-6 hours and was easily able to warn my driver about hazards (cops, wind, accidents, construction). The kicker is that Waze is "powered" by human reporting - which suggests the ideal solution is a hybrid of sorts.
I'm not them.

But maybe because when you paste a value longer than the max it just chops off the end. That sounds good until you consider that the ultimate goal is to have people re-structure their titles to fit the constraints as best they can rather than just providing a "preview" of the content (e.g. first line of the content).

For example I may paste in:

> LambdaLite: A functional, relational Lisp database written in 250 lines of Common Lisp

That's 87 characters. It would get mangled to this:

> LambdaLite: A functional, relational Lisp database written in 250 lines of Comm

So now the person entering the title has to paste it into notepad, fix it, and then paste it into HK within the length requirements. That doesn't help anyone.

Instead just accept an infinite length, and provide feedback on it allowing people to alter the title to perfection until the error goes away, no mangling or deleting title contents.
this is really beautiful. makes me realize how much I miss skiing and traveling. the setting changes really make this stand out. well done!
oh no. Et tu PG? http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html
Quite the juxtaposition. Here in Thailand the police are now giving random drug tests on the street and extorting money from you.
I see where you are coming from, specially considering that spam makes up for a significant volume of the entire internet traffic. However, I'd think it wiser for one spammer to go free than for one person to be denied access to legitimate content.

I'm often being denied access to free content because I'm accessing from the "wrong" countries, and that's infuriating. If I start being locked out of free content due to my privacy measures, I'm probably going to start setting buildings on fire.

Worse user experience.

It chops off the end of pasted/bookmarklet titles.
LambdaLite creator here. I just wanted to point out, in case it is not clear, that LambdaLite doesn't really introduce a new query language per se. The syntax is just "write any Lisp code you want" because actual Lisp closures are used where expressiveness is needed. Hopefully, this means the learning overhead is actually less: instead of needing to know both Lisp and SQL, you only need to know Lisp. (Disclaimer: obviously there is still an API to learn, but that would be the case with any SQL client library too.)
That might also be true for 95% of all code.
It will import cython stuff, and vice-versa.

Water in the air has a large heatmass. So rain leaves a "shadow" in the infrared. Worse: it can make things invisible in infrared sometimes too.

Rain/fog distorts an image because there's droplets in the air that function as random lenses. This will affect infrared images just like it affects visible spectrum images. Only things with wavelengths larger than the droplets will be able to see through fog.
You don't think Google will figure something out when a bunch of tokens from different IP addresses are all being used by one IP?
They're essentially paying for the ability to customize their email address, set up incoming whitelists/blacklists (so someone with your address can't fill up your Dropbox overnight), as well as expedited email support.

Hmmm. Cute. I can probably drop those straight into my Bottle stuff.
I actually quite like the R language. A buddy of mine is in his University's PoliSci program and one of the requirements is to learn R for statistical and trend analysis. He could not stop complaining until I offered to help him learn it by learning it with him. After doing his first assignment, we were both impressed with what could be easily done in R to visualize data. I think he now realizes how useful of a tool R can be in his future career.
Or something like: <input type="text" onInput="if(this.value.length > 80) { this.style.background = 'tomato'; } else { this.style.background = 'white'; }" />.
Big Data Shows Friday Is the Weekday with the Biggest Sales Potential
A better analogy:

A start up is like a restaurant with 2 doors into the kitchen. 1 door from the outside, 1 door for servers to enter/exit.

In a restaurant the workers can easily spot problems. And if someone walks in usually you kick them out, or lose a batch of food. The cost is much smaller than hiring 2 full-time bouncers.

If, however, you now have a giant catering hall with 50 entrances to the kitchen and hundreds of people there, security / bouncers are necessary.

The problem is how to go from one to the other, and not realize you need security when it is too late.
Can you rent out your instance to someone else, or at least use it to mine some CPU-bound crypto? That way you'd be at least making some/most of the money back.
I've always wanted to know about the steady emission of what looks like steam/smoke(?) from the upper body (not nozzle) of the rockets in the pre-launch stage. Anybody knows more about that?
This is super-fun to play with.

It might be a good idea to reflect actual snow conditions, at least approximately. Of course that will get depressing, but accuracy seems in order.
I truly didn't mean to target you specifically.

I was trying to be preemptive instead of presumptuous. Please accept my apology. I can see how it might have been misinterpreted.
