Yea, all my dog breeds have had different behaviors; the only thing they had all in common was locality, and unconditional love.

1. Dachshund--huge appetite, genetic problems from over breeding. Fearless! As a child I had to pull her off the >100 German Shepard. She ran out and grabbed his neck until I got her to realease.

2. Bullmastiff--Big sweet, but with genetic problems due to
over breading.

3. American Bulldog/Pit mixes. The two had no obvious genetic problems, but for brothers from the same litter they had
vastly different personalities.(One was so aggressive, and
neurotic a vet put him on Prozac--didn't do anything, like my experience on SSRI's.) The one thing that I never expected was both would Only urinate and deficate in my backyard. I
took them on vacation and they held it for two days. I took them on walk and for 14 years they never once relieved themselves until they got home? I never used negative reinforcement? Actually, they were potty trained in a few day. One other thing, they were both males, but never lifted their leg to urinate? Neither of them would
over eat, even when given something really good?

4. One thing about all the dogs in my life; they seemed to
have more common sense than a lot of by buddies at the time?
I never saw my dogs eat shit, but if I did see them eat grass
when they were not feeling well--which makes sense? I never saw one eat shit, but their might be something good about about it(reintroduce good bacteria?)

5. They were my best friends!
Unusual disk latency (2008)
I left the defence industry eight years ago now, but back then (and based on that job posting below it looks like it's possibly still going on), it was a weird combination of ADA, C++ (sometimes C instead) and Java.
In the late 90s, there was a big push in both the US and the UK defence industries to start using off-the-shelf software more, which meant moving to C++ from ADA.

But you'd sometimes have weird systems of ADA being used for the "safety-critical" stuff, which interfaced via CORBA with C++ code controlling it (as a bigger system), and would then sometimes be exposed to the user again via CORBA in Java UI code! (never saw this (Java) on aircraft thankfully, only ships)

A certain UK system also had code for controlling the HUD in ADA, but the main flight control system in C++, again via CORBA interfaces..

This wasn't always the case - some Solaris stuff on submarines was all C++ (with Sun's compiler), but it was frightening the complexity of it.
The Latvians got that 5 years ago. GDP -26%, mass government layoffs, 30% paycuts for those that were left, housing prices -55%.

Once the housing cost factored out (extreme heating bills, unlike at least most of southern Greece!), cost of basic necessities here is not so incredibly different from Western Europe.

Youth unemployment was remedied by emigration.

There are some good developments giving an international exposure to Indian space research. Another commendable achievement is the Team Indus winning a $1 million prize money [1] as a part of Google's Lunar X-prize, for achieving significant milestones. They are mostly a team of fresh IITians mentored by a few senior guys [2] - entrepreneurs, enthusiasts and technology and industry veterans who started this. This was the only team from India participating in the X-prize, and is one of the 5 teams internationally to be selected for the first round of funding, from amongst other well funded entities. Incidentally my company Sasken [3] has provided the team with space in our Bangalore office for their operations and it is indeed exciting to see them succeed.

This is a better link for the quote, it provides the question and the rest of what Gates said (it is linked from your link):

http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/articles/2013-08-08/bill-gates-o...

One of Google’s (GOOG) convictions is that bringing Internet connectivity to less-developed countries can lead to all sorts of secondary benefits. It has a project to float broadband transmitters on balloons. Can bringing Internet access to parts of the world that don’t have it help solve problems?

When you’re dying of malaria, I suppose you’ll look up and see that balloon, and I’m not sure how it’ll help you. When a kid gets diarrhea, no, there’s no website that relieves that. Certainly I’m a huge believer in the digital revolution. And connecting up primary-health-care centers, connecting up schools, those are good things. But no, those are not, for the really low-income countries, unless you directly say we’re going to do something about malaria.

Google started out saying they were going to do a broad set of things. They hired Larry Brilliant, and they got fantastic publicity. And then they shut it all down. Now they’re just doing their core thing. Fine. But the actors who just do their core thing are not going to uplift the poor.

His answer is arguably self serving, but given the question, I wouldn't go so far as to call it an attack, it's a "I don't think their approach will help really low income countries", not a "it's useless".
Since the effect seems to be caused by a silicon component that isn't properly shielded from light, anything with a photon energy higher than the bandgap should do. The bandgap of silicon is 1.1eV, which means the effect should start in near-infrared.
Why pay-per-word just doesn’t work for tech blogging?
What? They also banned creepshots and similar subs.

It's more like they'll be quick to ban things that make noise and make them look bad. There are lots of creepy or illegal small subs, it's not until there's a huge stink made about them that they'll act.
Services like SSNDOB have been around for years now. We're talking 10 years old breaches here.
This reminds me of an old Finnish engineering legend from the early days of Nokia. The guys had just built an important prototype of some network equipment (early GSM base stations IIRC), which was going to be demonstrated for the press. All tests and previous demos had gone fine.

But as soon as the demo for the press started, the machine crashed. The management was upset. Later, the reason was found to be some old EPROM chips that are erased using UV light, and the photographers' cameras had strong flashes that went through the tapes covering the "window" on the chip. This caused the program memory to be corrupted when a photograph was taken.
"On February 6th I was notified that an updated version 4.0.6035 had been released which is supposed to resolve the issue."

It would have been useful to check whether that 'supposed' is true and if so, how they fixed this. Worst-case, they did the easy thing and obfuscated the strings.
Because it gives you a "large sound picture". If there's anything I've ever wanted in my pictures, it's for them to be large sound.

What's more, these ethernet cables work better passing data in one direction than the other. Here's me using ordinary, non-directional cables, like a sucker :(

Without commenting on whether the product is worth the price (I don't know enough about HiFi quality):

There is a bell curve of purchasing mentality - from a minority who buy solely based on what's cheapest, through varying degrees of cost/benefit tradeoff, through to a minority who will tend toward whatever is most expensive. It often pays to offer something to that latter group.
These cables are truly wonderful for deconstructing the Mozartian spacial qualities of the sound and to perpetuate the plateau-spreading fluidity of the music.
To be fair, that price is for the 12 meter (40 ft) cable. The 75cm (2 ft) cable is much more affordable at just £600.

The best part about that cable is that someone took the time to determine which direction it sounds best, and the cable is marked to make it straightforward to attach it in the best direction!
That's actually quite cheap compared to this: http://www.monoandstereo.com/2014/12/250000-eur-schnerzinger...
Great, I've been looking for an ethernet cable, I recently purchased a subwoofer cable for only £9,049 ( http://www.audiovisualonline.co.uk/product/8401/audioquest-w... ) and I was worried that I wasn't getting the best out of the sound as the cables earlier in the system weren't at this quality.

I am sure it is insured.

However, PSLV, ISRO's rocket has the best success record in the world. It has launched 71 satellites so far. 40 of these where of non Indian so this is not the first time ISRO is launching a non Indian satellite. It took Chandrayaan to moon and Mangalyaan to mars. I am sure Google's satellite is in safe hands here.

I was thinking the same. If just 5-10 rich guys ask their personal shopper for the best setup, "money not an object" and the shopper buys these cables, then it was worth it to set up the entire thing.
Having sat there, as a teenager, with a whole bag of 1N4148s and a mains test block, can confirm :)

That's an excellent link! Wasn't aware of it, despite heavy involvement in analytics.
> What if we not only swapped around genes, but edited genes directly to cure things? What if we added enhancements? What if we completely genetically engineered babies from scratch and called them "our children", would that be okay with you? What if we made AI enabled robots and called them "our children"?

All of these things will happen in the (potentially near) future. The world will be much weirder, but also better.

I mean you can argue that people shouldn't reproduce at all, but good luck convincing everyone of that any time soon. A significant percentage of people believe even having such a view is horribly immoral (it's associated with eugenics and other bad things) and that reproduction is a basic human right.

So if we are going to be reproducing, there is nothing wrong with removing genetic diseases.
I bet not even NASA would deploy such expensive cables on a spaceshuttle.

It says the length is 12m. At this price, surely that must mean 12 miles? or 12 megaparsecs?
Audiophiles are truly a sustain for economy
You know the price is wrong when there's a "Fiance Available" on the sale page of an ethernet cable :-)
"All audio cables are directional. The correct direction is determined by listening to every batch of metal conductors used in every AudioQuest audio cable. Arrows are clearly marked on the connectors to ensure superior sound quality. For best results have the arrow pointing in the direction of the flow of music. For example, NAS to Router, Router to Network Player."
As far as I understand locking/unlocking mutex inserts the necessary memory barriers.

Don't forget that JavaScript is singlethreaded, which makes a lot of things (e.g. GC) easier. I think if JVM or CLR was purely singlethreaded they would gain some more speed.

Making stuff that people use exclusively to show off is such a great business that the only reason everyone's not trying to do it must be some misguided faith in humanity.
Because will pay it. Some people think cabling, storage media etc. makes a difference in audio quality even when it is digital data.

Naturally this has no basis in any reality, but that doesn't prevent anyone from believing it.
What about glass, then that should work, right?
This will be perfect with the new HiFi Harddisks I'm developing at my startup.
They'll offer HiFi data storage to make sure your crappy youtube to mp3 rips don't lose quality when stored over a longer time period.

(I just made this joke in IRC too and somebody sent me this link http://www.enjoythemusic.com/hificritic/vol5_no3/listening_t... )

Maybe there is actually money to make off this!
As far as I know its just a Ethernet cable and that means that there would be no difference to the "sound".

It does have an extremely high bandwidth at 100 gbps (gigabits) but unless you have a audio file that requires 10 gigabytes per second then it is completely useless (Uncompressed audio is at most a few hundred kbps).

Also the pure silver and other features would not make a difference to sound quality.

So I would say go buy a $5 Ethernet cable as the audio is digital and the receiver will either get the packet or not, the cable can't damage the sound quality unless it's analog.
Is that possible via HN API? or it has to do HTTP requests in CLI?
I wonder if this is an automated pricing battle, similar to the $23.7 million dollar book about bugs on Amazon.

I onced interviewed for a job at a software company developping virtual instruments plug-ins. At some point in the interview, the guy told me this great story :

"We made some test once, and we changed the skin of the software, to a new color. Every people said the software sounded better with that new skin. Yet we changed absolutely nothing except the color."

I'm still wondering if some graphical configuration ( such as a bright color) wouldn't stimulate the brain more, making it more receptive in general, and to sound in particular, letting people "hear" better.

I'm in favour of space and scientific exploration as the next guy, but it is incorrect to equate basic sanitation and education with a welfare state. It seems pretty obvious to me that providing everyone with clean water and sanitation will have far greater economic (and social) impact than giving a very small number people access to very advanced technology.

India has some of the worst sanitation conditions in the world. You and I take clean drinking water and sewage treatment for granted.

There is a pretty strong case that educating women, giving women control of their reproductive systems, and giving women good hygiene, sanitation, and toilet facilities is the best possible way to lift populations out of poverty.

At this point in time, the technology required for autonomously producing food has already been available for some time.

I refuse to ever pay more than $300 for speakers or headphones or anything sound related, I think it's a healthy principle to go by. My theory is that being an audiophile serves as a psychological vehicle for yuppies to feel even more superior to everyone else.
Sensory experiences are incredibly subjective and different modalities interrelate in all kinds of complex ways. It could be said that everybody is synaesthetic to some extent, some just more so than others.

In many contexts outside science, whether some sensory difference exists objectively or not may not be relevant at all as long as there is a perceivable difference in subjective experience.

Not sure I understand you correctly.

The problem should happen with near-infrared, visible, and UV-light. Glass is transparent in the visible range, and depending on type, also in IR / UV, so glass won't work as a shield.

The easiest, reliable way to shield would be wrapping in aluminum foil (also helps against RF-interference).

What you are linking to is still two-way data binding. Which enforces a one-way flow of data.

Two-way binding: Read & Write. Read & Write happens through getter/setter methods.

One-way binding: Read only. Writes happen by external event listeners.

Both can be used to enforce one way flow of data. Just as one way binding can be used to have a uni-directional flow of data.

A pseudo code example with two-way data binding with one-way flow of data:

<input type="text" value=getOrSetValue() />

function getOrSetValue(newValue) {
if (newValue) {
// Send an event to a dispatcher with updated value.
} else {
return value // can be single value from model or derived value, such as calculation of multiple values.
}
}

I can see all sides of the arguments here. I do love API's, but I hate "frameworks", especially when they consist of useless functions like

function _MY_framework.enterprise.displayMessageInConsole(msg) {
console.log(msg);
}

That does something that would actually be easier in vanilla JS.
All years of writing JS may have made me blind, but that's how I see most JS frameworks. Mostly useless.

That said, manipulating the DOM in JS is a PITA. I can totally understand why you would want to do it another way.

I guess the DOM is not meant to be manipulated with ... And breaks if JS is turned off.

I think in the near future in maybe 5-6 years we'll see apps that are a mix of Browser and Native. That has the protected environment like a browser, that ask for permission to use hardware features, that can be accessed through high level API's, have native performance and run by typing an domain address much like WWW.
