The axis on the left is for the blue party rounds line, and the axis on the right is for the red total rounds line.

I assume this is because party rounds have never been more than 3.7% of total rounds, so showing them on the same scale would have left the party rounds line rather hard to glean anything from.

A better approach would probably have been to express the counts as ratios to their 2005 values; they could then have been presented on the same scale.
Couldn't you add more battery? Sure it's more weight but I'd imagine more battery would result in slightly higher power output and an increase in flight duration. The added weight would help against wind gusts too.
Popcorn Time didn't do ANY of that.
Do a Google search for intitle:index.of mkv -html -htm -php -asp -txt. Popcorn Time is THAT with a pretty UI. That's it. It in no way addresses any of the complication with releasing a movie in a consumer friendly way without theft.

Yes, the movie industry needs to change. But one cannot compare the hurtles they have to jump (and figure out how to eliminate) with a site that does nothing but put a pretty image on content theft.

There's whole catalogs of movies I bet the movie industry would love to make available but can't simply because they can't get streaming licenses from some now defunct band that did the musical score for it (for example). You cannot just gloss over these kinds of challenges by saying, "Well, some thief who knows PHP can do it!".
Nope. We're pretty much limited by battery technology on that front; you need bigger batteries to provide more power, but those bigger batteries mean more weight, which means more power needed just to stay aloft. For a battery powered multicopter, I think an hour or so is about the highest you can get (I don't think I've seen any that claim over 40 minutes), and as you point out, most drones are closer to the 15 to 20 minute range.

Of course, there are other designs like fixed wing planes which can be a bit more efficient though more complicated to navigate in confined spaces and without the ability to hover, and you can use internal combustion engines which can get you much longer flight times due to the higher energy density of their power source. But I don't think you're going to find any of the affordable, battery powered multicopters that get you anything over an hour (and even then, I would set my expectations at more like a half-hour for anything affordable in realistic conditions).
Pointer, length, encoding. In 2015, giving me a bag of bytes labeled "string" is about as meaningful as saying it's "music" or "a picture".
It happens all to frequently because the 1% tends to be very long lived. If 99% of babies died in the first year of life, all of your friends would still be more than one year old.
I interpreted the OP's use of "MVP" to mean the founders' self-proclaimed "MVP," not necessarily an actually viable product. To your point, if it were actually viable, then a "viable" product that "doesn't even work" would be a contradiction in terms.
If you need long endurance, then you likely need a fixed-wing system. In general, the efficiency goes: fixed wing > complex single rotor (helicopter) > multi-rotor (e.g. quadcoptor)
Why does it look like some sort of flying bomb? I'm much more terrified of that hitting me than a rectangular piece of plastic that doesn't look like a ballistic missile.
What makes replacing "China" with "The United States" in that statement any less plausible?
No, it's definitely not feasible for a startup. Contracts are very common in a lot of jobs, but the friction they generate don't make sense in a startup. That's why you get all that startup equity, to deal with that risk.

Qualitative research is still scientific. I'd go so far as to say just as scientific as quantitative research, holding the field of study constant.
Maybe you're right and everyone else on this comment thread are suffering from some cognitive dissonance?

I'd be willing to bet much of those SO questions and replies are a part of keeping up the Meteor hype with most questions being answered by a core group of devs.

The PR machine for Meteor is crazy. It's funny because this 20M will go to generating more hype and PR opportunities, while the actual development will fall to these wide-eyed open-source evangelists who will give up their time for free to make it better.

Then Meteor will be sold to Facebook and all these open source developers will realize that their work was driving up the valuation for a bunch of investors who couldn't care less about their code or the products it powered.

I'm having a relatively cynical day, I can't tell if I woke up this way or if this Meteor news is what set me off.
Great site, awesome UI. I'm also working on a web app using Meteor. This just gave me some inspiration.

They might be confusing executor issues with beneficiary issues. The cost of maintaining an extra house, until it sells, can be kinda high in some areas, for example. And there are ways of handling this in the legal system, most of which involve the beneficiaries getting much less money (starting with asking a judge to assign an expensive lawyer as executor instead of whomever). And unfortunately some folks can't really keep their stuff together by themselves when you're alive under normal conditions, so dumping executorship on them is just going to totally mess them up, they can't run one household now temporarily they have two.

Someone who's totally clueless about 500 foot yachts is just going to get screwed over either as executor or inheritor... hope at least one of them is semi-clueful about yachts, hopefully ahead of time. There are bottom feeders who look thru the legal notices in the paper and will descend on the grieving victims with absolutely ridiculous offers to take the hassle away... for pennies on the dollar, if that. Oh that classic Ferrari in perfect condition, well, I can't really offer more than scrap steel price for that, and next thing you know some poor widow gets screwed out of $100K.
It was never about money. It's designed to offer a dream to those who cannot afford not having one, therefore contrary to what the article author claimed, poor especially needs lottery.

In fairness, the original source gives a calculation that's basically a more quantitative version of Gowers's dimension-of-intersection-of-Cantor-sets argument, and yields the same conclusion.
Great text - from the document, they were apparently both written during WWII and declassified "recently" - as far as I can tell, roughly three years ago.[0]

The editors have taken the original manuscripts and made them more presentable. In their own words:

"It is not our intent to cast Alan Turing’s manuscripts into a journal style article, but more to provide clearer access to his writing and, perhaps, to answer the questions “If Turing had have had access to typesetting software, what would his paper have looked like?”" So consider this to be "Alan Turing meets LaTeX".

Some interesting quotes:

"For instance if it is known the 20% of men live to the age of 70, then knowing of Hitler only Hitler is a man we can say that the probability of Hitler living to the age of 70 is 0.2. Suppose that we know that Hitler is now of age 52 the probability will be quite different, say 0.5, because 50% of men of 52 live to 70."

"Suppose that one man in five dies of heart failure, and that of the men who die of heart failure two in three die in their beds, but of men who die from other causes only one in four die in their bed, but of the men who die from other causes only one in four dies in their beds. (My facts are no doubt hopelessly inaccurate)."

"Straightforward Cryptographic Problems": This is a chapter heading that precedes the cryptanalysis of the Vigenere cipher, demonstrating the use of probability theories to the cryptanalytic methods used, among other things. There are over 20 pages dedicated to this. (Perhaps straightforward to someone with a background in the topic, but I still got a kick out of the title)

Thank you for the comment. I didn't have enough time to finish the paper, so it is more than a little rough around the edges. I have intentionally reduced professionalism in this paper to save time and energy so that I can spend it on more effective pursuits. The reason I tacked on the whole question of "Was IPsec itself poorly designed?" "Why didn't this get reported in 2013?" "What should we do about software vulnerability?" was to get interest from people who generally get nothing from a vulnerability announcement in software they don't use. Thus, the audience of this paper is very different from the traditional audience of people who read vulnerability announcements by the hundreds. Like another user commented, I tried very hard to put the important stuff first so that people like you could stop reading when they became disinterested.

You have convinced me to release a version of the report without the soapbox for people like you:

@polskibus,

Heterogeneous can mean different things. Drill attacks problems where there is no well defined schema. Other heterogeneous data source tools are more about accessing different data sources, all relational.

To do what Drill does requires that SQL be changed from a statically typed language to a dynamically typed language that generates code on the fly. Drill also does this in parallel.
Just thinking about all I have to learn alone causes an anxiety attack.

"According to the indictment, two of the professors began to apply for patents on some of the technology in the United States, beginning in 2010."

It would seem difficult to steal and simultaneously patent an idea in the US. Am I misunderstanding the title or the article?

Is the crime that they invented a patentable concept and then they tried to then take it back to another country that happens to have some tension with the US?
It's 2015. UTF-8 won.
Absolutely. This is being pitched as a consumer product you can throw in your bag though, which has definite size and usability constraints. For safety you really don't want people carrying around a backpack stuffed with Lithium Polymer cells either, that's a disaster waiting to happen if someone falls over backwards and pierces one of the cells.
Except that they are both original sources. Two separate sites can come up with similar articles, especially if they collaborated with one another on it. The fact that both articles link to one another with one being described as easier to digest and one being more thorough implies that this is what happened here. Therefore, neither would be blogspam, just different approaches to the same topic. They both have their merits, one is easier to digest, one is a lot more detailed. If someone is interested in the other, they can easily get to it through the links in the respective articles.
Encoding of string types can be (and often is) implicit within the context of a program.

Encoding of an opaque byte array is a different story. E.g. Python 2's unicode vs string.
The investors are extremely appreciative of that... it'd be a shame if they had to invest in actual filling out their own gaps with the 20M they've raised.

That money is better spent convincing other developers that Meteor has no gaps.
Adobe Lightroom 6 Crack 2015 Serial Keys for Mac Download
Is the number of vulnerabilities for a product really a good indicator of it's quality? I seem to remember a year-end report showing Google Chrome as the browser with the most number of security bugs found, but some people said that was because they pay the most in their bug bounty program.
The argument isn't saying that arithmetic is random. It's saying that a lot of properties of number systems behave as if they are random.

A good example is finding arithmetic sequences of length K in the prime numbers (for example, the sequence 3, 5, 7 is an arithmetic sequence of length 3, as is 17, 23, 29). It can be shown that random sets that have a density similar to the primes (i.e. the chance that N is in the set is proportional to 1 / log(N)) have arbitrarily long arithmetic sequences - as, in fact, do the prime numbers.

> People want Meteor because it makes a lot of promises regarding productivity, but (as the presence of this article and multiple comments prove) the real interest is in a framework that has money for continued development.

I can't speak for others, but the reason I find meteor interesting is because it's one of the only frameworks to address isomorphic javascript, and because it has some really interesting realtime features out of the box. The fact that it's backed by a team that has some venture funding (and therefore some runway to continue improving it) is a definite plus.

> So without the financial backing Meteor is just another open-source web framework.

I don't understand this point. Even _with_ the funding meteor is just another open source framework. Isn't it great that we have a number of open source framework options to suit different needs?

> I really don't think that my company enjoyed paying me to rebuild a platform that they already paid for because the Meteor evangelist they hired before me decided they wanted to be an overpaid consultant instead.

You haven't really explained _why_ you needed to rebuild it. Perhaps meteor didn't suit the use case for this project or perhaps you felt more comfortable/productive in another framework. You haven't really made a case against meteor or a convincing argument about why adopters would need to switch to another framework if MDG failed as a commercial business.

It seems like Ember is going to become a bit more like React (which I'm very fine with).
The problem is you're relying solely on the propellers for lift. Batteries are heavy and only store a small amount of electricity. You need to attach a helium balloon or some other means of lift that doesn't require electricity.

Some sort of miniaturized hot-air system might work as well.
Apache has a number of vice-presidents. The reason is that making a release establishes that the Apache Software Foundation is standing behind the release and the licensing. The policy is that this requires the imprimatur of a corporate officer, thus each project has a VP who can sign off on releases.
I'm in a similar situation and trying to make those same decisions. We ended up picking the ex-wife of a family member. Our immediate family did not fit our criteria and after we talked with her it seems like the best choice.

However, we are still struggling with how to distribute the life insurance in this case. Currently, she would get it all, but I think setting aside x% for education for each kid is worth considering (maybe y% for after college graduation). I realize someone taking in someone else's kids will incur some costs, so I think they should get 'something' - with two more kids, they may need to upgrade their house.

Thoughts on %'s or amounts?
That totally works - thanks for the hint!

Do you have any insight as to why this happens? It smells like some kind of log parsing to present messages on login, but I've never received any such messages, and a quick vgrep of the various profile/rc's never turned anything up.
(I work at Meteor).

There have been some discussions with Asana (asana.com) teams who are building their new data store with a DDP API published for their clients.
So far, they showed me video mockups of what they want built (they paid a graphic designer).

One of the big yellow flags to me was that they would be idea guys. They told me that they're willing to learn how to code, but considering they don't have super technical backgrounds (one is an electrical engineer, so he'd have the best chance at learning), they probably wouldn't be of aid in the interim.
Does it really need a domestic application to be interesting? It might not fit a Western political agenda, but I still enjoyed reading about it.

In any case, the information pertained mostly to the interactions between individuals and municipal authorities. I don't know that those relationships are really so disparate here and abroad. The political structure may differ, but the dynamic is probably very similar to what you see in democracies with a low voter-participation rate: aggregate everyday behavior winds up being a better mode of communication between the group and the authority than election results or town-hall meetings.
Someone sent me a WADL file the other day:

http://www.w3.org/Submission/wadl/

It didn't take long to find a tool which would generate a client library from it.

Three caveats:

Firstly, i was working in Java; WADL originated at Sun, so there are Java tools for it, but i doubt any other language has support.

Secondly, i don't think it really saved me much time. Hand-coding a JSON API client isn't exactly difficult. The main advantage i can see would be in dealing with an evolving API, where the implementer of the API can continually update a WADL file which clients can use in their build process to stay up to date.

Thidly, the generated code had a bug, and blew up on one of the data types returned from the API!

In fact, for b = 5, that infinite sum is equal to about 1.89.

lie between 0.08 and 0.59.

I'm still waiting for the Perpetual Eclipse.

The Perpetual Eclipse is a quadcopter that calculates where the sun is, triangulates where your eyes are, and just floats in the direct path light travels when it gets in your eyes.
the low bits of a million and one correspond exactly to the low bits of 0b1000001 = 65, "A". This seems incredibly unlikely

Not as unlikely as it seems. Ignore the "and one" part, and the question is simply why 10^6 is 64 modulo 256; but since 10^6 = 5^6 * 2^6 is a multiple of 64, it's must be one of {0, 64, 128, 192} modulo 256, which takes "incredibly unlikely" down to "one out of four possibilities".

(Going a bit further, you can rule out 0 and 128 because 5^6 is obviously odd, and you can rule out 192 because 5^6 is an odd square. But the most important part is that X000000 base 10 is immediately required to be XX000000 base 2 modulo 256.)
Also consider: corporate life. Pretty much every major corporation and most managers have to deal with the issue of foot draggers. That's why getting buy-in for new initiatives and policies is considered a worthy goal.
with respect to climate change, global warming is a threat to our entire ecosystem. In the coming decades, governments around the globe will face unprecedented national security threats mounted by flooding, extreme weather storms, scarcity of fresh drinking water, and shrinking food supplies. Countries that lack the resources or political will to act now may be visited by great tragedies. Natural catastrophes and famines driven by climate change may cause future wars and revolutions.

With respect to Fascism, the countries we used to refer to as "The Free World" have become Orwellian police states. This is much more than a privacy issue or a national security issue. We are headed towards a world where dissent is no longer possible. As governments continue to spy on literally all of their citizens, the types of non-violent protests and civil disobedience which helped bring about the end of the Vietnam war and racial segregation in the US will be proactively contained. Potential protesters will be identified, harassed, and intimidated long before the target dates of their planned protests. Heavily armed and violent paramilitary groups will occupy potential arenas of demonstration in the run up to events such as political and economic conventions. Meanwhile, the media will whip the public into a paranoid frenzy over "terrorists planning to attack" these events.

With respect to religion, the Middle East will continue to fight wars driven by religious fanaticism. I refer not just to radical Islamists, but to Christian fundamentalists and Zionists (both Christian and Jewish). In the Catholic spheres of influence, overpopulation and AIDS will continue to be a problem because use of condoms is discouraged. In the US, major policies which affect the environment and the fate of other nations will continue to be driven by morons who believe that the Earth is 10,000 years old and that the rapture is coming.
