Much prefer the title "Moss Graffiti" to the link-bait original title "Using A Blender, This Guy Executes The Coolest But Most Illegal DIY Project Ever."

Cool project, awful title. "Most Illegal DIY Project Ever?" Seriously, I thought it was going to be a home-made suitcase nuke.
from the article:

The existing canopy manufacturing process requires loading
an acrylic shell into a forming tool, which then is slid
into a 93.3°C (200°F) oven. The canopy forms within the
mold over six days, during which “workers regularly enter
the oven to makes observations and manually adjust
positioning clamps to control the forming process”,
ONR says.

That must be one heck of a hard job

also:

An example is the decision to use 3-D printing rather
than forging to manufacture the bowframe that crosses
the canopy. Switching methods could save $31.5 million
over the programme of record at an investment of just
$342,000, Lockheed says.

nice use of 3D printing in a short run manufacturing situation

You said: "everyone except the USA" considers Gaza occupied.

That is not a fact; it's a statement made by you, based on what some member of the U.N. Human Rights Commission said.

The UNHRC does not legislate international law, and arguably they do not interpret it very intelligently either; they spend an inordinate amount of their time focusing on Israel's supposed human rights abuses, almost to the exclusion of all the other problems in the world, e.g. China, Pakistan, Turkey, Syria, Africa, S. America, and Russia.

As to your statement that Israel controls the borders to Gaza, that is simply not true. Israel and Egypt control the borders, which is a significantly different situation. I don't notice the U.N. claiming that Egypt "occupies" Gaza, yet by your definition and, apparently, the UNHRC's, they do.

The fact is, Israel supplies Gaza with electricity and data services, and they allow about 16,000 tons a week of goods into Gaza. They are rightfully afraid of deadly arms being smuggled into Gaza that would be used against Israelis, so they inspect all cargo from land and sea.

None of this precludes entrepreneurial activity in Gaza, however, as this woman demonstrates. It would be nice if there were peaceful relations and an open border, but that is up to the Gaza people to figure out, when they are tired of war and would rather negotiate some kind of permanent deal with the Israelis. But to get to that point, they have to put down their guns.

The problems with Web Mercator and spatial analysis are due to the way the projected data is distorted:

http://blogs.esri.com/esri/arcgis/2010/03/05/measuring-dista...

The zoom level bug you are hung up on was due to the way web mercator was implemented in Osmarender. This is why people are answering your concerns about teh zooming by pointing out osmarender is no longer used.

So no, don't use web mercator for analysis. But only worry about inconsistent rendering across zoom levels if you are using Osmarender.

IIRC, Solzhenitsyn notes in one of the early volumes of The Gulag Archipelago that you can kill a guy by tossing him in a room and throwing cold water on him. I don't know what it is about hypothermia that doesn't seem serious until you experience it personally but that must be what's going on here.

Reading Solzhenitsyn in the context of today's news might be worthwhile for people. If people can read all that, note the similarities between the NKVD's tactics and attitude toward the law and the CIA's, and walk away contentedly thinking to themselves "but our guys have good intentions and are a lot more selective!" we are hosed as a country.

As a European I think this has deepcultural roots, probably in religion. I'm struck by the way many elecators don't go to the 13th floor, or the 13th in a series of numbered streets is often called something else (eg in SF you have 12th Avenue, Funston Avenue, 14th Avenue...). People prefer to say someone 'passed' (presumably to the afterlife) rather than that they 'died'. And of course there's no swearing on TV - although this only applies to American swear words, it's OK to use words that are considered quite rude in English or Australia.

I have a theory that this is part of the American fondness for TV shows featuring English detectives (Elementary, Forever, Constantine and just about every mystery show on PBS): by speaking the same language but coming from a quite different cultural context, they're able to engage in narrative truth-seeking because of their obliviousness to or disregard for implicit American cultural mores.

"Cold shower" is a joke of an understatement. These men were kept awake for over 7 days at a time, subjected to sustained waterboarding, slapped and thrown around, left to suffer with festering bullet wounds, etc etc. All that while being told that their families were going to be raped, tortured, and killed.

I know if I was personally subjected to those things I might not be so averse to having my head cut off.
I hope everyone realizes that the HN guidelines call for changing titles when they are misleading or linkbait.

The French 10e division parachutiste arrested and interrogated around 24,000 suspects during the battle of Algiers, often using electrical torture, rape, etc., of which an estimated 3,000 were summarily executed.

This effectively put an end to the FLN presence in Algiers. Which, I suppose, gets to show that it can be effective in some circumstances, if you are willing to show the appropriate degree of ruthlessness.
most illegal ever? probably based on nothing, but since it's still a form of graffiti, it would generally be illegal unless you own the property you're adding moss to :P

An alternate form of this is cleaning the sides of dirty buildings to leave messages/art.
My little sister just got into with me on facebook about how it is perfectly ok to torture our enemies.

That's just the last straw for me. I would never have someone in my life, family or not, who would think raping people is acceptable. This is even worse. Even our enemies shouldn't be raped/tortured.

Sorry, but it is largely based on OSM Data. Filtered OSM data is stored locally, If query isn't found locally then it refers to other Open DB APIs such as Nominatim, Mapquest (I might remove Mapquest as someone told me its not up to date) etc.

However initially I used this for my other personal projects and Google function was active around that time. So it might be from locally stored results. I'll look into this as well.

Anyway thanks for your consideration, It reminded me that I almost forgot to add OSM contributors credits.

Cannot say I don't welcome Uber getting curtailed in all these places. Like many people have said, I doubt the drivers have the insurance to cover their passengers should something really bad happen whilst a passenger is in the car. Something to consider. Taxis are required by law to be insured in certain ways, as are bus companies and limo services.

Also, I like the traditional taxis and bus systems.
> I had very few issues with SOAP interaction between systems because they are just text files.

Did you write parsers for the messages by hand every time?

I did a bit of work with SOAP, and found interoperability to be a problem. Encapsulation and signatures both spring to mind. But then, i was using tooling on both sides. I shudder to think what dealing with SOAP messages manually would have been like.

This is primarily an issue I've seen with my students' work. They haven't always internalized the issues with folds, and the need to design around them to make sure that there appears to be a continuous flow of content.

Saying something like "There is no fold" is not going to help students recognize the issue.
> why do structs exist and why are their members public? why don't you just use classes with public?

To be able to reuse existing C code in a C++ compiler, while allowing them to participate in class hierarchies.

This is the real reason, but you don't need to explain it like that to new C++ devs.

Use struts when you just need a data container. Use classes when you need to add behaviour.

Simple rule, no need to talk anything about C.

"The fold" is where a newspaper folds in half. Unless your users are folding their computers in half, it really has no place in digital screen design. I agree that the closer to the top of a document you place something, the more prominence it has, but this has nothing at all to do with a "fold."

What will I do with massive parallel computing? Better simulations and writing non-optimized code in 1/10,000 lines of code (see Steps project at Alan Kay's VieuwPoints Research Institute http://www.vpri.org/pdf/tr2007008_steps.pdf and the steps papers at http://www.vpri.org/html/writings.php ).
See the lectures on the top of our web page http://morphle.com for some demo's by Alan Kay)

Since 2008 we at MetaMorph research institute are seriously attempting to build a single Wafer Scale Integration (WSI) with up to 800,000 cores (at 14nm) called SiliconSqueak that is a bytecode machine (like the B5500) running Squeak. In 2015 we sell 10, 60 and 300 core prototypes on an FPGA.
The final WSI will cost around $6000 and a 5000 core version (at 90nm) would cost around $500. We will need around 1500 people to buy it to become profitable.
You could cut it up into chips costing around $1 each.

The main effort is writing software for it. For example a Lisp bytecode machine, a port of the RoarVM and a version of OpenCroquet needs to be enhanced for it. However, running Linux on it would be pointless, it needs a new type of operating system based on its hardware based message passing.

You can also use it as an openflow switch with 100 50 Gbps optical links or as a RamCloud with half a terabyte of 3D memory. It is done in our startup that still needs two extra co-founders. a scientific paper will be released by our research group in a few months on the WSI.
Minor pet-peeve. But we should probably refrain from immediately jumping to "drug cartel" examples. It only further perpetuates the meme that privacy is only something criminals and perverts should be concerned with.

My favorite job advert was one for a large-ish company (200 people) that invited you to criticise their public-facing web application. The implication was that not following the instructions on the advert to a T would result in your application being ignored.

Clearly this was a lose-lose proposition.

Hilariously, I naively took them at their word and described amongst other observations how their application used far too many HTTP requests (i.e. they weren't using concatenation) and that the page size was phenomenally large.

Needless to say I got no response.

Another time an in-house recruiter for a company that creates a light-blue VOIP client that everyone uses, mentioned that there were free soft drinks and that the executive management were really down to earth. At which point I moved the phone away from my mouth, took a breath and regained my composure.
disclaimer: I'm a Juju dev

It's a lot more than configuration management. It's coordinating multiple machines across a cloud (public or private) - we call it "orchestration". It's not just "install this software on this machine", but "install this service (may be multiple packages of software) on N machines that are dynamically allocated from the cloud, hook it up dynamically to this other service on M other machines, and scale it all up and down." All with just a few trivial commands from the user. The GUI is just a tiny piece that tries to communicate the enormity of what Juju is doing behind the scenes.

With a few drag and drops on the GUI or a few commands on the CLI, you can deploy an entire openstack onto your hardware in minutes instead of hours or days. You can configure a highly available web front end, connect it to a highly available database cluster, with log collection and monitoring... again, this is something you can set up in minutes, not days.

Juju uses puppet and chef etc to configure machines - that's what those tools are good at. But Juju is at a higher level - connecting the machines together into services, and connecting the services together into an application.

That's a great point about human conceptual failsafes, but also, the failsafe I would be referring to in your optical illusion example would be the fact that you actually know what you perceive is incorrect, receiving that information from another data source - someone told you what you are seeing is incorrect. There is never a 100% foolproof failsafe, humans can still easily be manipulated and exploited, but manipulation doesn't work 100% across the board for humans either. Is there value in leveraging failsafes across a network? (I'm just throwing ideas out here)
That's why it's referred to as "The Coming Manufacturing Revolution". Technology is advancing at a rapid pace.
