Non-engineers see this as a failure. Engineers and scientists see this as an awe-inspiring success from which to learn, iterate and try again. I don't fault reporters for exagerated headlined focusing on failure. They don't know any better. That is not what their lives are about and most might be challenged to understand that nothing in that video constitutes failure in the context of evolving a design. In fact, failure is absolutely necessary in order to better understand the problem you are trying to solve.

Nice! My work was 6510 machine language, hence all the "coding in decimal" -- using mneumonics to _write_ my code (ie: "lda" for "load the accumulator") didn't occur to me, and neither had using hex. Using assembly (lda vs whatever the decimal equiv was) wouldn't have made sense anyway, since I didn't have an assembler -- I just POKEd all my code into memory. Then I'd (typically) hijack the keyboard interrupt (with the final call in MY code to the real kb handling code) and my code would run -- things like switching screen colours everytime you pressed a key. But I learned about looping, conditions, CPU program counters, registers, flags, boolean logic, memory addressing...

Good times.

This made it difficult for Amazon to enter the tablet market with Kindle Fire: almost all manufacturers were unwilling to make it for them, because Google would kick them out of the OHA if they did, and they'd be unable to make Google-based Android phones.
Just walking videos going down the street, maybe showing the architecture, the stores, the people. You get to hear the sounds, see the sights, and get a sense for what the pace is. It could have narrative or not. It could be indoors or not. I think this is something that can be crowdsourced.

>But, as I understand it, they will always need to land some rockets at sea.

Yeah, this is something I didn't realize. Flying back to land requires fuel, which cuts into the payload capacity. If a payload is too close to capacity, a sea landing may be the only option.
Ah you are rite, overlooked that
That's why I qualified it with "a particular roast." But I probably should have added another factor: amount of grounds. I've found the manufacturer's recommendation of two scoops to be ridiculously strong, but maybe that's because I typically use a strong roast and don't water it down.

Since everything has a price, there will be market for it.

I guess that you might know that we devs don't have the final say on all of this. Clients or employers dictate in one way or another the way to go with front end web dev. If it were for me and I guess many devs, we'd just settle for one or two frameworks max. and just ignore the rest and their existence.

It's tough market out there dude!
I don't agree that failure is absolutely necessary. I think success is generally more informative, because it gives you data about something that works end to end.

If your rocket blows up on the launch pad, you just learned that you shouldn't overpressure your fuel tank (or w/e). But if your rocket lifts off, goes to space, and lands, you learn thousands of things that work that you can use again.
Neither is important if they have offline-cached copies of Wikipedia (all the content of which is readily available for download and made available under a CC-BY-SA / GNU GFDL dual-license), which can then be distributed on optical media, thumb drives, or some other relatively-inexpensive data distribution medium.

This is something that's totally compatible with net neutrality while providing the same benefits you're advocating.

Complete destruction is obviously expensive. Finding a way to prevent an explosion if it falls over after landing seems worthwhile.

If it hovered for 5 seconds at .5 meters, for example, could it burn off enough extra fuel?
Anybody know anything about the tech they're using to guide the stage to the barge? Since the flight is so short, I suppose they could get a GPS position on the barge at liftoff and pre-program that as the initial target, but I'd think they need some kind of terminal guidance actually tracking the barge to hit it reliably. Maybe visual or radar, or a radio beacon or something?
Convenience and radio waves will be the death of us all. Why do car companies not have expert security and RF guys on staff? This is so predictable.

You should read Cleartrip's statement when they exited internet.org today. Especially, this bit: "So while our original intent was noble, it is impossible to pretend there is no conflict of interest (both real and perceived) in our decision to be a participant in Internet.org."

The protests are not against free data at all. Internet.org could have very well given 100megabytes/month free. They could support it with ads, which is perfectly neutral, if they wanted.

Saying that "the poor don't/can't make the right choice for themselves so let us chose for them" - now, THAT IS ivory tower thinking.

And, as added value... My personal experience is that Logo Design (and upkeep) is a low priority, but should always be an active priority. Keep in mind where your logo will be used (web, print, swag, etc...), and don't be afraid to work on a new design, you may have been off the mark with your original design. That said content trumps design a lot of the time, unless the design is super bad, then it gets in the way of your content.
When I lived LA, they would ticket 15mins after the start time. Also in LA there is a whole entire Parking Enforcement division. You might find multiple tickets clustered around the same time. Typically that means 1 officer working there way up the street if the address is similar. Also I think they can ticket at anytime during street cleaning even if the cleaner has passed thru.

Hoomi sits somewhere between email/password login and social login. Users still get the benefit of Single Sign-on (that grows as more developers adopt), but don't have to have (or tie their account to) a social profile. You're also welcome to use your phone number to create a Hoomi account.

As far as Persona goes, one of the major differences is the primacy of mobile as a medium for login. And while Persona focuses on using email addresses as identifiers, we go one step further than that, isolating users/apps into their own ID spaces that aren't tied to any particular existing identifier. As a result, a user can change their email address with us without disrupting their service or updating their applications (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Persona/The_implementor_...), and users don't have to divulge this information if it's not necessary, as with apps that just use login for personalization.

We're rapidly building and adding features to Hoomi, and you can expect to see the benefits to users and develoeprs grow as we flesh out users' ability to create profiles for themselves that they can give their apps access to.
The probability of some point to be chosen is 0 for any probability measure that has a density.

The fallout from that memo was instantaneous and widespread. I worked in wireless at the time and everyone I knew at all of the carriers began to pull Nokia inventory. This was not true in many markets.

Even if the burning platform concept was correct, releasing it in a companywide email instead of strategically shifting the company and then announcing the change in a measured, considered fashion would've been much better for their cash flows.

Purchasers at large operators don't turn on a dime, usually, but I would argue that the CEO of a handset manufacturer declaring their entire existing lineup of products is going to be discontinued in viscerally graphic terms is one of the things that might spur such quick change.
If internet.org was really about providing internet access to people who otherwise can't access it, what is stopping Facebook from making it open? In current form lets say internet.org allows access to 100+ websites. I assume speed will be slow anyways. So make it open. Speed and data cap will be a deterrent for people wanting to abuse the platform (and things like torrent etc can be blocked anyways)

But I guess that will not serve facebook's interests. As an Indian, I actually prefer no internet at all compared to a moderated list that I am allowed to access. The way things are moving - Govt. has to act to provide internet in India for the last mile consumers anyways. With curated access there is a danger of wanting to maintain status quo because that kind of access - checks a tickbox.
I've used it for a while. I think the ecosystem is great. I don't have too much of a gripe for the things that most do (slow startup, can't handle large files). However, there's a bug with full screen on OSX that is a deal-breaker and keeps sending me back to Sublime: if you swipe between full-screen instances of Atom, sometimes modals end up in the wrong place, but you can't get to that instance. So you have to hard-kill, and imagine if that modal is a Save As. (the other day it did something differently strange and annoying: Have 2 projects, A and B open. Swiping between full screens, it only showed A.. only way to get B was to select from Window menu, and this behavior kept persisting whenever I'd swipe away)
Why isn't it? I'd say as a markup language, it touches on a lot of computer science topics: data structures, semantics, abstraction, etc. Also, I think it's a great entry point that could lead to an interest more "serious" CS topics.

09 Avalon uses same principle as in the article and is most likely vulnerable. Functionality that I have encountered:

Battery charged in fob:

Walk up to car push any button located on handle of doors to lock vehicle or push button on trunk to open trunk.

Within proximity to any door lights under side view mirror light up, interior lights also turn on. After touching driver handle driver door opens, any other door handle touched (within proximity to fob) will cause all doors to open.

Battery dead:
Trunk will open if fob is held directly near button.
Similar behavior on doors fob must almost be in hand pushing button. Valet key can open the driver door. Buttons to unlock etc dont work. Have to hold fob near push to start to start vehicle. Depending on proximity during drive the alert on dash may light up.

Few times I or S.O. has driven off without key (luckily realizing within a few miles of house or location of key). The Avalon will continue to run only having the alert on the dash. I'm guessing my defense here would be to let the batteries die in the fob. Ill still get most of the functionality without the risk. Keeping the battery one (when I want to sacrifice security for convenience) stored in a cage. Really like the attack though.

> If it hovered for 5 seconds at .5 meters, for example, could it burn off enough extra fuel?

The Falcon 9 cannot hover. The thrust of the single landing engine, even when throttled down to minimum, will provide significant lift to the empty rocket. That's part of what makes this maneuver so difficult and so awesome: it's called the hoverslam, where you achieve 0m altitude and 0m/s velocity at time = 0.

For reference, though, the Grasshopper/F9R-dev1, could hover due to it only having 3 engines, not 9, and because they could ballast it with additional fuel.
Maybe he could push it into place with some surplus soviet rocket engines?
> gaining a competitive edge with them over those who don't have access to them

I don't think Adderall/Strattera/Concerta/Ritalin/etc is as effective on those without ADHD as you're implying it is, and those who actually have ADHD (myself included) are not better at a job just because of the supplement. Remember that the drugs wear off, and those hours unmedicated can kill productivity in other ways from constantly being distracted - disorganization, forgetfulness, procrastination (not don't feel like it, think depression), inability to stop multitasking (this can really kill), ignoring details, impatience,... i could go on.

> As more reputable companies emerge in the sector I think I may well end up giving the products a go

Do you really need to though? There's no free lunch; these supplements are going to have side effects. Using baseball as an analogy here, if you're on a major league team getting millions to push your body for the few years you can keep up, i can see the draw of steroids. But if you're in the minors, why entertain the idea of anything other than basic nutrition, exercise, and a good night's sleep?
Seriously, a huge uproar over a marketing 101 textbook promotion. Attempt to alter consumer behavior in a manner that favors your brand by giving away a free sample. Does anyone seriously think Uber will continue this promo indefinitely? Of course not. I'm guessing the culture in Toronto is most people drive drunk because cabs cost too much, so this kind of promo is intended to help gain traction in the most lucrative market segment for Uber, the bar/club closers.

I'm the creator of FileSearchEX, a search tool for Windows 7 and higher. Downloads average 10,000/month but sales are in the trash. I've been telling myself it's because of piracy. We scored some big clients in the past after all.

So, I'm retooling myself to make HTML5 apps. Before I leave the C++ WinAPI/ShellAPI world for good, tell me I'm right, wrong, or just plain stupid.

Do you like FileSearchEX? Do you have a need for it?
Fair enough. But consider the fact that there ARE alternative solutions and internet.org is not the most optimal.

Why not give X megabytes/month data to the user for free and let HIM chose what the "essential internet services" for HIM are? Internet.org is a non-profit so it would be completely fine giving it for free. But even if they wanted to recover their costs, they could do it in a neutral manner - by ads.

Even with your premise accepted, there are better solutions. Internet.org's current model makes sense only when you consider the ulterior motives as well.

But religious people can exercise their right to give input in the formulation of law---the same right all citizens share regardless of the philosophy that guides them to favor one position over another. After all, arbitrarily excluding religious viewpoints from public discourse would be discriminatory, would it not?
