This is a tradeoff due to mission priorities. Embedded nacelles (as in fighters) reduce drag (the point of this project is to increase efficiency), but complicate matters of structural support and increase engine vulnerability in case of fire. These have superior shielding to runway debris and birdstrikes, but such incidents are extremely rare.
Depends on the load factor ( # of kilos/m2 ) that applies to the plane. You could increase the cabin size by 20% but only increase max load by 5% and then you'd have 15% more space into which to put passengers and luggage.

I myself would be happy with larger, lighter, slower and more fuel-efficient planes. But then I am also perennially hoping that dirigible passenger liners will make a comeback.
This is in no way responsive to my comment, which wasn't about whether the USG would coerce Microsoft.

Possibly contrived example: An airgapped Windows machine. We've eliminated the possibility of any data exfiltration (all the software vulnerabilities in the world can't transmit on a downed interface), but that does not mean that the encryption itself is not defeated in some way by the existence of a "master key" or some other flaw that allows an attacker to access the data offline.

Truecrypt has now been proven to have no such flaws.

It's unlikely that Bitlocker will ever be proven in the same way.

Anyone that has a legitimate fear of that kind of attack, the bad guys with guns coming in and seizing your stuff, would use Truecrypt over Bitlocker out of an abundance of caution.
The title has changed and it is now clearer, the title was originally "Amazon Dash built on Parse".
It wasn't an overreaction, it was merely defending their decision and implementation. It was far from "embarrassing".
By default, Scala's parallel collections use fork/join on JVMs > 6, so using Scala probably isn't going to change much for you.[1]

Also, note that this guy's company makes software that directly competes with the JVM's fork/join framework, so he's not exactly an unbiased source.[2]

Anyone familiar with DataDraw?
If a person cannot find free condoms in the US, there is a serious problem with that person's searching. The government gave out a ton grant money that was to be spent on free condom dispensers (oddly multi-colored from one vendor). States and public health clinics will give them free in various programs.

And let's not forget the machines in a huge number of gas station rest rooms across the country. Most of them are $0.75.

If a person cannot find free or ultra-cheap condoms today, the person really is not trying and probably should be doing other things.

Also, as many of the folks at work discovered, the free contraceptives were accompanied with a larger than cost increase in premiums.
Why exactly is it hard for reverse engineers to discover how Bitlocker is keyed? If it's because it colludes with compromised hardware, why isn't that just as problematic for Truecrypt?

The 1.2TB model uses 22 watts for writing at 1200MB/s (54MB per second per watt). I guess performance comes at a power cost.

Yeah, I had some of the same concerns. Thanks for the details response.
Noted.

If you read our "App" page, you would have seen 'sympto-thermal method of fertility awareness' mentioned at least once. Check out "Learn" for a literal book's worth of information (complete with references) about how this works. We've taken an approach of trying to ease people into this, but maybe that hasn't come across in this instance.

How would you suggest we introduce the topic without scaring people off with such scientifically dense-sounding terms as "sympto-thermal method"? Is anything we can say going to be believable to our target customer off the bat?

The lead example of FirstMark Capital is not new and its not a trick. A VC investment comes with pro-rata rights to invest in future fundraising rounds to maintain their % ownership of the company. A VC firm will allocate capital to a new portfolio company to follow-on in future rounds. FirstMark's fund is too small to utilize their pro-rata right in the late stage rounds of Pinterest. They have offered their LPs the option to use the right (which may be an obligation in the fund's limited partnership agreement). The "inside track" here is being an investor in a VC fund that funds a unicorn. Hardly a trick.
I'm sure there are some cases where this is useful, but I'm not really sold. The pitch at the beginning is "satisfying PEP 8 doesn't mean it looks good!" But then it seems most of the changes cleaned up in the code (indentation level, indents on split lines, spacing between operators) are just PEP 8 violations. I think you could find a more convincing demonstration.

The warning about choking on large data literals (which are probably one of the places where prettifying would be most useful, at least to me) also seems ominous.

edit: for my personal use, I tend to use flycheck with flake8 in emacs. This keeps me honest. Is the primary use case for something like this cleaning your own code or other people's?
and that book was?
I can give you a proof for (1). Use manhattan distance. Take an arbitrary point P. Sand can not get arbitrarily far from P.[0] Thus there is a highest distance n from P sand can reach. Whenever sand collapses, at least one grain gets further from P. Thus there are no collapses at distance n. There are a finite number of points at distance n, so there are a finite number of collapses at n-1. But that means a finite number of grains enter n-1, so finite number of collapses at n-2. And so on.

[0] Consider the path that the sand would travel to get super far out. The path cannot contain any adjacent empty cells (proved in the article). Thus it would take infinite sand to get infinitely far out.

Like any framework, it evolves... It takes the good things from something and integrates it in their own vision. Look at .Net which integrated CRUD apps (Ruby On Rails), "dumped" (not really dumped though, they keep it compatible) WebForms and moved to MVC, now you use MVC with tools like bower and Grunt (who would have thought about that).

It's the same thing everywhere, so it is with React, Angular, Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, Google, ... People iterate (and meanwhile, they copy, improve and/or innovate stuff). The difference lies in how you are marketing it ;)
If you read the whole thing, what he's talking about there are licenses, like Apache, that explicitly grant those patents that are only implicitly granted by the MIT and BSD licenses (and even that, he says down the page, does not really solve the sublicensing problem).

But Microsoft's explicit grant does not clarify the grant implicit in the MIT license (as the Apache license does) but restricts it, beyond even the minimum bar for being considered open source.

So, if you ask: "do I have permission to use the CLR source code as I wish, as long as I comply with the MIT license?" the answer is a resounding no, Microsoft does not grant you that permission (true, they might not have the specific patent to go after you, but they might, too, and they don't have to tell you).

“The colored boxes indicate which CPU core performed layout for each node”
It isn't necessarily - but there's a lot of places to hide in a large set of binary blobs. Can any effort spent reverse engineering any program (let alone an operating system!) compete with a line-by-line audit of the source of a single program?

Compromised hardware is another matter entirely. The old rule is, "if an attacker has physical access to your machine, it's not your machine anymore", and it's no less true here.
What a ridiculous and false assertion-- all you've demonstrated is that there are costs of entering the market.

That says nothing about the potentially enormous profits to be made if your redesigned condom beats the competition and becomes a new consumer favorite. Condoms are purchased by people in a wide age range, income bracket, geographic location, etc. Even a small percentage of the total market would be an enormous amount of money.

You might as well have said that Tesla Motors was a terrible idea, arguing that there's no money to be made in automobiles because of all the upfront costs of designing cars, building factories, and obtaining regulatory permission.

In fact, the entire point of starting any business is to overcome upfront costs by seeking long-term profits.

I think the really hard problems are almost unsolvable so waiting for them to be fixed before putting effort into this area doesn't seem wise.

In general we need a common mechanism to be able to make simple factual assertions in a web page or when describing a data flow.

The other very significant problem is that learning the technologies around rdf/owl/sparql is a lot of work and to be honest about it, most developers refuse to even learn sql properly.

I'm hopeful google's slow but steady focus on web page/email markup(for google now) will get the momentum behind solving some of the simple problems that it's insane we still have (things like, is there an address that describes this businesses location somewhere on this web page?).
Thinking of make as an example of "declarative programming" helps in appreciating its functionality.

This aspect needs to be highlighted to those who have knowledge of imperative/object oriented programming paradigms only.

Otherwise, understanding how those makefiles actually work can become confusing and painful.

I don't really understand what's going on in this client-side Web app space, and I'd love it if someone could clarify it.

My probably mistaken impression is that Facebook did this with React, decided that even with this virtual DOM, Web apps just weren't worth doing except as a backup to "real" native apps, and abandoned it.

Then Google decided that Angular was the way to do Web apps, discovered they were doing it wrong and that Facebook's virtual DOM was the way to go, and abandoned Angular 1's approach for an approach tried and abandoned by Facebook.

Then Google moved on to Polymer and its HTML components approach, which might be fundamental to Angular 2 or might be a new approach that they intend to use with something other than Angular.

Again, I'm obviously confused about what's going on in this big players' next-gen client-side web app space. Could anyone clarify?
wow ! this one is cool ! From looking at the Repo - I see that you have used pygame in your project. So , how did it help in implementing the Emulator ?
I don't see how Bitcoin enables any of this - you use the term "frictionless" but the truth is BTC is simply low friction. There is already very little friction in the transaction of stocks, bonds and dividends - HFT platforms process trillions of transactions per day with much less friction than BTC (the current iteration of the blockchain will never scale to that volume). Operating agreements are already codified in software in the form of ERP platforms. Organizations will never operate completely transparently because there is a strategic advantage in having asymmetric information.
The earlier versions had two performance modes, one with lower power consumption. Not sure if its MB/s or iops per watt you should measure.

Searching Online May Make You Think You're Smarter Than You Are
I am self-teaching myself mathematics for a few years now and will suggest the following: Algebra and Trig, a subset of which is known as pre-calc. Don't short yourself on this because it is basic and you don't want to be struggling with it at the same you are struggling with the higher level stuff. I cannot recommend Sheldon Axler's Algebra and Trigonmetry highly enough. After much searching I found that and have been through it 3 times.

Next Calculus: I recommend Gilbert Strang's text book which will take you through what in uni is called Caculus 3, 1 being intro, 2 being differential and 3 being integral. I in the midst of this book and so can't speak to further but my plan is to move onto Strang's linear Algebra. After that, where to go depends on particular interest but leaving any of that out, in my opinion, will just handicap your further studies. Moder education does a lot of things wrong but the standard math sequence in use everywhere isn't one of them imo.

OpenBSD. Or any of the BSDs, but OpenBSD would be ideal.

That said, my confidence isn't exactly shaken either by the current lack of BSD availability (FreeBSD is supposedly "coming soon"). I'm getting by moderately well on Linux right now for my own "cloud" needs. It would just be nice to have my preference in operating systme (and ecosystem; I've taken a liking to OpenBSD's subprojects like relayd/httpd, OpenSMTPd, etc., and it's much easier to use these things on OpenBSD - or probably even on FreeBSD - than it is on GNU/Linux).
Silicon Houseabout – Find entrepreneurial housemates and create amazing startups
He doesn't want you to take his position personally. He does want you to pay for using his work, and gives plenty of reasonable justification why. If he's coming off as smug, then I imagine it's because he's dealt with people/entities that feel that infringing his work is a benign act when it takes a big financial toll on him.
I liked the tone: "just the facts, ma'am" simply doesn't work in this case, mostly because of the tone of the questions - which is 100% accurate.

His answers may be a little snarky and sarcastic, but the questions he is answering properly represent the attitude and tone of the people who use creative work without permission.
Japan has had polyurethane condoms as standard for at least 15 years (indeed there is the stereotype of foreigners stocking up on latex ones whenever they go home).

Polyurethane is definitely superior in many regards, but they are less stretchy than latex and if you're not used to them they can be a little frustrating.
Not nearly as smug as the person who thinks creative works are easy to create and thus should be free.
I must second the comment about the name. Most educators I know (and I know many) would avoid anything that suggests their work is templated or rote, and "classmill" kind of starts off on a bad foot with an educator audience. Seems like a neat project though, best of luck!
I'm sympathetic to his cause. Imagine having your work stolen and having to deal with this for years. It would be very disheartening work. It looks like he's trying to only go after those that are using his images to make money. If that's the case, they most certainly should pay for the service that he has provided.
If all parties agree to that there is nothing wrong with it.

Also, you can bet your bottom dollar that deals where money gets taken of the table are looked at even harder than ones where only new stock is issued.
