Hi, I actually work in fuel system analysis.

The one issue with the blog post that nobody seems to realize or point out. Is that fuel consumption is measured, and calculated internally as kilograms per kilometer. The change to volumetric units is done for the benefit of the population.

This comes into play because namely, thermal expansion. Normally even in return less engines fuel is used to cool injector heads, as well as some body block parts (depending on engine design), as hotter fuel more readily reacts, and is already being routed to the warmed parts of the engine.
I'm not sure whether it's a practice everywhere, but many shops in NYC also indicate the "per unit" price: per gallon/oz/pieces etc. I use it all the time, and I wish it was mandatory by law for all products.
>>provided it has the right programming on what to do in specific conditions

That's my exact point - you can't hard code in every single possible problem. And in case autopilot doesn't have sufficient data or programming to handle the situation it has no other choice but relinquish control to the driver, at a moments notice. Of course it could always try breaking with full force, but a) breaks might be damaged b) breaking is actually a bad idea, if any of the wheels are on a soft surface(like in my example, after a tyre blowout the truck has moved closed enough to the edge that wheels on one side are now on grass - applying maximum breaking force in this situation will actually tip over the truck, the correct solution is to keep going until the truck slows down by itself). The truck might not know what surface it's on or where it's going(say a bird hit the laser sensor on top), so the autopilot would fail spectacularly in this situation, which would not be very difficult for an experienced driver to handle.
You can be a fanboy about something and still want to understand why people prefer the alternative.
Yet putting a missile into their vehicle, even when there is a chance their children are with them, isn't (and even if it is on paper, a law that isn't enforced might as well not exist).
“I consider myself unemployable”
You're missing the other part: "abridging the freedom of speech." Why use a noun phrase here? To draw in existing concepts of what the "freedom of speech" means.

Note that your interpretation cuts two ways. If the framers were not referring to some pre existing legal concept, and instead just meant literal speech, then a lot of the decisions expanding that concept are invalid too. Publishing a book, for example, has been interpreted as part of the "freedom of speech." But that's a legal fiction--publishing is an action, not speech. So is protesting, or uploading things to the Internet.
The part (59mn) where his former girlfriend confesses she's still angry, angry at a system that tries to trap you and turn everything against you and ruin your life... is devastating.
At the risk of sounding trite, so? Is any of what you just said a problem we should be worried about or a sign of something bad?
Seconded. I'm very grateful for this book.

Twitter needs to learn how to let me, as a small company advertise at affordable prices. Facebook learned this, even though we all know bots click on "Boosted" posts. Give us, millions of small companies lots of amazing tools and charge for it. (Start with multi user support for the corporate handle, buy Buffer and get back to respecting developers)
I did not click on this meta-click bait.
All this would do would change the timing of when the buzzer gets pressed. All of the players would start to buzz in as soon as Alex started reading, knowing that he would finish the answer and they would have a chance to think before he finished reading it.

Nice work! The article benchmarks a > 20X speedup for AES-128-GCM, for performance described in the text as "on par" with OpenSSL. It would be helpful for reference to have an OpenSSL column added to the benchmark table.

Sounds like you should be using Subversion then.

This is being used for a standard gun. A very dangerous weapon would be something like a dirty bomb or nuke.

But even then I disagree. Censorship is despicable and will be abused. Historically it has been far more abused than any other dangerous weapon and should thus be the first eliminated.
You could do even better if the tube were carrying electricity instead of gas. Maybe it would have enough power to carry a whole bunch of people at once? Hey, I think I'm on to something!
When you say that they're not independent, do you mean that the probability that the person knows the Final Jeopardy question is higher because they've managed to keep Ken Jennings from running away with it (i.e. they're better than the average person Jennings has faced)?

The GG did not stepped in, did not dissolve the assembly.

We will never know if she tried to do the right thing to save us from an election (saving money), or just tried not to make waves. We will never know what what would have been the result of an election had it happened in this particular condition.
It's really confusing to use even if you just want to look for some basic information, it also comes with the, apparently now obligatory, overwritten scroll behaviour that is a pain to use.

That seems like a coincidence, that the relative velocity between the car and the fuel shooting through its injector should be approximately the same as the relative velocity between the car and the road.

One could conceivably build a car with half-size injector nozzles that squirt in the same volume of fuel per unit time.
I'm not suggesting experts should drop what they're good at and work on integration, it's a job for engineers, think 'Apollo 11' kind of integration of different sciences into a single working product.
I don't think git pull would ever destroy your history (AFAIK it's exactly the same as a fetch+merge), at worst you end up in a merge conflict, but it's easily revertable. However after a git fetch and a git log you can see beforehand if there is anything nasty going on.

Will from Voxon here. Thanks for the interest. I'm happy to answer your questions if you have any.
The most frustrating thing about it is how hard it is to find knowledgeable people. I went in to the doctor for RSI symptoms that were nothing like carpal tunnel and she insisted I had to have carpal tunnel and started talking about getting surgery to release it within like 5 minutes of us meeting. Perhaps the most galling part of this was where she went "here, let me show you" and had me do the various exercises of holding your hands together that are supposed to lead to tingling if you have CTS and when that didn't work she just said "well anyway, you have carpal tunnel syndrome." Thankfully my physical and occupational therapists were more helpful.
The jealousy lever, better than nothing.
This makes me think that we'll end up with truck drivers who are more like tugboat captains. They know their distribution center and as automated trucks come in and park on the edge, they then do the fiddly work of getting it lined up at the right time to the right loading bay.
I'm not sure it makes sense for every person to create their own blog, especially if they're not going to post frequently. Few people will end up reading anything they write. Instead it may make sense to contribute content to another website. This could either be open-source / CC content, or they could be paid for their articles.

(Perhaps they could also embed programming challenges in their articles so people can try out what the article discusses...)
Go's existing crypto library is far from battle tested either (as well as being comparatively slow)
It's not seldom used in that way. In my experience, I would say that "far" by itself more commonly refers to "far along" until otherwise clarified with "far away".

The title is simply ambiguous.

The book The Trigger by Arthur C. Clarke and Michael P. Kube-McDowell covers that very idea, dealing with dangerous information that will eventually become public knowledge. It's not a main plot point for the book, but it is discussed by several of the characters.
They're certainly not interchangeable, but you don't really believe they are anyway.
Heard this before, sounds reasonable (for non-expert).
In 40's mentality in Japan, emperor was a god, and common citizens didn't matter a bit in war efforts. They were burning alive (tens of) thousands by carpet bombings on all major cities (also having many buildings built with wood helped spread fires), and it didn't move opinions of ruling elite a bit.

I would say atomic bombs were one of the many factors considered when finally giving up, but common US view of "hey we bombed them hard with our cool new toys, they craed their pants and gave up immediately" is not very accurate.
SOA, Micro Services and Isolation Evolution
I watched it a while ago and I believe the movie talks about Aaron possibly investigating on the correlation of results found in JSTOR's academic papers database in order to conclude on the influence of financing on their results (hopefully what I'm saying makes sense... I may also very well be wrong about this claim). I am myself very interested in this topic, regardless of whether that's what Aaron was trying to do when downloading these papers. Does anyone know if such an analysis has been performed since/before/ever ?
I don't find the picture funny, even though I understand all the bullet points from looking at the picture.

Yes, the man is confused because he's being pranked by the president. It would be funny if I was there.

But looking at this photo? It's not funny to me.

I suppose I would rank this picture a lot higher than a picture of a skyscraper in the list of funniest pictures, but neither would be above the "laugh" threshold.

Does everyone else here find it funny?
Pretty cool.
It's simple way to test effects.
I was hoping to see a list based on how the price of a product better communicates a product's value. It's sad to me that there is so much energy focused on the manipulation of the buyer as the goal.

Frankly, I consider the aggressive use of these tactics to be a sign that the company is manipulative and untrustworthy.

Schelling has been on my to read list for a while - it's definitely an interesting subject (his model on segregation is really cool too).

My problem with this reasoning is that it seems to assume perfectly rational actors. For most problems you can do that in the long run, and it's generally a sane thing to assume, but in this case it's a ruin problem - one irrational person with imperfect/delayed information in a power position is enough.
When people describe crypto code as "constant-time", they typically just mean its execution time is data-independent.
It's a straight text press release, I found a Car and Driver gallery here: http://www.caranddriver.com/photo-gallery/the-trucks-are-ali... - the truck pretty much looks like a semi truck, the interesting thing to me is the image I linked to, which is the UI for 'highway pilot' mode.
Great list. Minor quibble-- I wish Nick had put the last part first. Pricing effectively is all about successfully communicating value. Your price is limited by your perceived differential value. Once you get that part, the rest of the techniques might be helpful to optimize, but if you start with the optimizations without really understanding how your value compares to your customers' alternatives, you may get a local maximum, but you won't get the best results.

Wow thank you! This is very useful information, for now I have been going with something similar to approach 1 but have been hitting the blurriness problem you mention when zooming.

The big challenge for me is the amount of text I have to render. It's quite a bit more than just a few health points in a video game, it's heavy duty analytics information from large datasets. I get the impression from working with webgl that it's focus, historically, hasn't been directed at all towards applications like this.

You're missing the point entirely. You can explain why people might find it funny, that's the point.
Yes, they were kept secret for decades and yet you know about them now. It's not always a question of how long can information that is considered potentially dangerous can be kept secret. Sometimes it's a question of can it be kept secret indefinitely if the information is deemed dangerous enough. Many would say no.
Go's crypto library is probably the best of all the "standard library" crypto implementations. The modal standard crypto library among other languages is a set of bindings to OpenSSL.

git pull just runs git fetch then git merge.

The supreme court has numerous times affirmed limits to free speech. For example, the espionage act has been ruled constitutional. Military officers are prohibited from releasing classified information. You're in trouble if you call in a bomb threat.

You segue onto hate speech and drawing lines; this seems irrelevant here.

Were a Lockheed Martin worker to send the plans for the F-35 to China, they'd be put in prison.

Were Intel transmit the designs for that supercomputer that Intel weren't allowed to build in China to get around export regs, they'd be put in prison.

If it were the case that the constitution allowed the government to (say) prohibit the exporting of certain military hardware (say, a nuclear bomb), but not prohibiting the export of an incredibly detailed document explaining every nuance, datum, etc of producing that same piece of military hardware, I'd argue that the constitution needed a brief update (perhaps as you mention to 'shall make not many laws'). To my knowledge, it does not.

Then either this case will lead to failure, or success by arguing that any export regs on ideas are unconstitutional (thus leading to the bizarre problem above) or a success by proving that the export regs do not, or should not cover what he has produced.
Universal Orlando is using robotic vehicles that move around a course and place the riders in front of large projection screens to get immersion. Some rides use polarized 3D glasses to enhance the experience. The tech is not exactly new, but the newest additions to the park (the Harry Potter-themed attractions) are using pretty much the same tech, just with a more modern robot that has finer control while carrying more weight.

As for non-ride tech, there was some recent coverage about Disney's new wristbands at http://www.wired.com/2015/03/disney-magicband/ (with commentary at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9177105) Universal has nothing like this currently.
This has just unlocked a dream for me. Imagine having a remote working kind of job (like, say a programmer). You could pretty much just do your job from the cabin of a long-haul truck pausing only occasionally to top up on fuel or drive through messy conditions the computer can't handle. It's an introvert dream come true.

If by world you mean earth, and by destroying you mean something like splitting planet open, then I presume way more than current arsenal of usable nukes.

It is harder and harder to economically squat because competition is now seamlessly global for basically everything except infrastructure. Only in a few very limited circumstances is rent seeking even a viable option today - namely those providers with natural monopolies like water/cable etc...

Across all industries, no one is safe from small disruptive providers. Wasn't even close to that case even a few decades ago.
Do you ever write code, test it, and then edit that code some more? If so you just "rewrote" history. The history in the VCS is whatever you decide it to be when you actually commit. You can carefully shape what the history looks like with any VCS by being careful about what you commit. Git and mercurial simply allow you to shape the history after committing as well.
Then you did succeed at convincing somebody out there! :)

There are plenty of tools that don't read their logs - more precisely, computer units where you don't log in, units that you don't operate on console. Embedded devices that perform some function and also keep some log, but which cannot be used for reading that log. You will need to read that log using something else. Plain text (ASCII, and now ISO Latin and UTF-8) is a fairly stable format for everything, and will be for the next 50 years.
