You also need a lot of energy to make a car, or to build a combustion engine. Yes, battery driven cars are particularly polluting to produce, but a couple tanks full of gasoline will make up for the difference.

There was a precursor to the steam engine in ancient Greece [1]. Invention happened throughout history, but the context has to be there for the invention to be applied, the inventor to be free to invent and rewarded for doing so, and the flow of information to occur so other inventors can build on top of their work.

Case in point, no single individual invented the steam engine, it was a process that involved dozens of people across decades before a truly useful steam engine resulted, and the only reason those people could contribute is because of a society which didn't claim inventions as toys for a palace or required then to work all day every day as a farmer. See for example the difference between north and south Korea, same people, same starting point, different society and government, radically different outcome.

I absolutely agree with you. Free Speech is not a thing on private boards or sites on the internet. Moderation is a good thing if you want a healthy online environment and conversation.

That said, I think the moderation Pao symbolised on Reddit as a whole was a very wrong move. The Community certainly did. All the subreddits are individually moderated and the subreddits are opt-in; there's very little need for an overarching moderation of Reddit major.

Combine this with the rules for moderation being so vague everyone was asking what they actually were, and the reason given was "safety". Safety?

To me, "Safety" is a red-cloth term. It smells of the agenda used to rule the masses by fear and security, and to me Reddit is the exact opposite. But in reality, it was probably just an honest answer to Reddit's Community and investors both, that they wanted Reddit to be a safe product.

Well, nobody joined Reddit because it was "safe". It's the wild west of the interwebs, subreddits progressively darker as you find more weird stuff and you have to tell yourself "no - I don't need that" (who hasn't ventured to r/aww - darkness comes in many shades).

tl;dr Reddit is set up as a wild west with moderated towns, it is counter-productive to clamp down on everything with "safety" as the rallying cry.
After interviewing enough, my conclusion has been to not get so enamored with a particular company. It is just like falling in love with a particular university, or a particular person on first sight - irrational, and usually ends up with dashed hopes & missed opportunities from being too single-minded (and even lower pay).

I have had this experience with big and small companies - one big company gave the silent treatment during salary negotiations. Some smaller companies have lost track of the process at various stages. My approach now is to just mentally tally the companies I am interviewing with and if one falls on the wayside, I keep it in mind as negative signal for any future interaction with anyone with an association with the company - the strength of the signal depends on the size of the company (the larger, the smaller weight) and the nature of the problem.
Is there an automatic script to thumbnail images? That simply multiplies the number of problem images in your data store.
10 meg?

4k is all the rage now on mobile.

just taken a chunk out of someone's download quota with that nice background!
Not sarcasm. Disappoint continually by Boy who cried wolf.

I also remember this happening with the mars rover. I was expecting gigabytes of hidef images. YouTube images / twitch streams.

The technology we have in space always seems to be 40 years older than what we have in Earth.

Tiny, grainy images. No mass-fabrication of research devices. Weak computers. Long development times. Multi-billion dollar cost overruns (ISS, Hubble).

In USA, outside of military technology, science also overpromises and disappoints, perhaps for funding / political reasons. See http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2014/02/12/275896094/.... Then http://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/magazine/physicstoday/a....
I remember being in Denmark a couple of years ago when there was a massive spike in the electrical price. Think it was due to low wind and that Sweden had abruptly shut down one of its power plants.
As an effect it costed the Danes more than 11-12 USD to run the clothes dryer (one time). So it can be expensive to depend on others :)
#1 rule in tech: listen to your users.
Did you read the article? They quite clearly make the point that there is no clear, direct relationship between offense rate and severity of punishment (17 vs 18 year olds), and they speculate this is because much of the behavior in question happens on autopilot. Hence CBT.
Only a qualified lawyer can say.

But then what? Look at positives, and decide? Or just forward all positives to LEA, let them decide, and nuke what they indicate? LEA probably wouldn't like that.
Bing Digital stole my website
~10 years in flight.

~20 times the speed of a bullet.

~5 billion kilometers away.

And there are pictures from this. What a feat.
I believe the imaging tech is also constrained by the radiation environment.
There was no reason that it needed to be said, as no one claimed the thing he is refuting.
Creating development environment with Vagrant
Vagrant stands on the shoulders of giants. Machines are provisioned on top of VirtualBox, VMware, AWS, or any other provider. Then, industry-standard provisioning tools such as shell scripts, Chef, or Puppet, can be used to automatically install and configure software on the machine.
I was thinking the exact same thing reading the article. It would have to be an actual class, preferably taught by the same person (to control for personal charisma etc) that does not directly translate into behavioral modification but does teach something useful (to avoid dropout/motivation differentials) Music? Sports? I'm not sure.
Really? Then he was stupid. Breaking a jar of cholera in a room full of people does jack shit and nothing, at most the people would need to shower. At best they should wash their hands before eating.

Cholera causes diarea, but that is about it. It is only dangerous when you don't have access to clean drinking water. Also it spreads orally.
I'd rather have nothing than 1kB/s.

Get someone serious who knows what they're doing to get us real bandwidth out there. Not someone who just is trying to perpetuation a cozy desktop in the public sector.

We need real science breakthroughs and greatness. Not expensive programs where people unethically misconstrue "discovery" when it's just a cheesy attempt to get more funding.
Back in the day I would have been in the same place as you, but since our first son arrived I'm down to far less gaming time - at the moment I'm lucky to get six hours a week, at which point this becomes far more appealing.
Silicon Valley might not be representative of the nation or the world, but (thankfully!) anonymous internet forums aren't, either.
While Goedel's first incompleteness theorem indeed shows that there will always be true statements that don't follow from a given set of (computable) axioms, this is almost never a problem in practise. It is hard to find natural examples of such statements. Almost every mathematical statement (or its negation) you or I can come up with is a consequence of the axioms of ZFC set theory, or whatever other foundation you prefer.
The political and economic capital. Big stack updates like this cost a pretty penny. Who's going to advocate for increased taxation to secure a bunch of admin databases?
To me it looks like they (especially the main guy operating the computer) is putting on an expression for the sake of the camera.

Cool how two people can get completely opposite vibes from a picture :)
It is one thing to torture bad guys to save millions of lives. It is quite another to accept that you have crushed the testicels of five year old boys for no reason.

KSM was a really, really bad guy though. Manning didn't cause any deaths.
There are lots of small, even one-line modules in NPM.
So I don't believe the comparison.
What you're saying is that you saved 10% electricity and helped the environment at no cost to you. (You might have bought some expensive LED lights, but at least they'll last a number of years.)

I also got a little annoyed this year when my energy provider informed me that the electricity costs would sink (pegged to actual marked prices) and the fixed costs would rise. That change made my electricity more expensive only because I use very little electricity. Regardless of that change though, using more electricity would still cost me more — so there is no reason to leave the lights on for good measure. The change just reflects the nature of utilities. The utility has to maintain the grid no matter how much electricity you use. If the fixed costs increase that just means the pricing is more realistic.
What a shady company, they probably also get extra traffic from having Bing in the name.
Woot. Yay. Mind bending. In the extreme.

So, on our way out, maybe we can toast this possibility. A beer with cancer or old age, on the possibility there might be alien microbes on earth.

Sarcasm, yes. Lack of imagination -- I clicked on this thinking I would find relevant expressions of daunting imagination. But, instead, unfortunately... when I enter this into my equation of (You are going to die + X = ?), unfortunately this remains zero'd out as entirely irrelevant.

It is almost as if the whole "you are going to die" factor in my equation is the equivalent to zero. And everything else is zeroed out. Except for those dare, rare - often very mad, surely, or genius - sons of bitches that do not actually like being zero'd out and actually expect not to be.

Well. Fuck them. Do not even try.
Isn't that what you get when going to the site while not being logged in?

(I echo the comments that say that Reddit has great subreddits like /r/Haskell and it's easy to mis all of this when you are just subscribed to a few subreddits.)
Logically those who care enough about Reddit to sign the petition would tend to be frequent users of the site and content creators, not casual users who probably don’t care about Reddit’s development at all.
There are APIa to find naked people. Some are terrible, pifilter, which is designed specifically to recognise body parts is pretty good.
It's had a Core OS group, not a CoreOS group.
> I personally respect freedom of speech, except hate.

The problem is that as soon as you draw such a line, you need to appoint a censor to determine what qualifies as "hate". As Christopher Hitchens asked: "To whom would you want to delegate the task to decide for you what you could read? To relieve you of the responsibility of hearing what you might have to hear?"

Typically this job falls to the public prosecutors. Who will make mistakes, misapply and pervert the laws. Sometimes with good intentions, sometimes with malice.

It is not just an abstract argument, it has very real consequences. Here in Finland we had a case [1] where an MP (now MEP) was convicted of hate speech for making a point about freedom of speech by asking a question along the lines of: 'Why is it ok to write that Finns might be culturally and genetically predisposed to get drunk and kill people, but not ok to write that Somalis might be culturally and genetically predisposed to rob people and live on welfare?'

These types of laws have very real chilling effects on public discourse. People are unwilling to engage in certain topics, which should be discussed, due to the fear of being prosecuted. In democracies trying to suppress or censor an idea or argument will just end up elevating them. In this case, the party to which the convicted MP belongs ended up becoming the second largest party and are now in the government. They no longer have to argue their case, they can simply implement it (and their immigration program was written by the MP in question).

The thing is not my project, I just stumbled over it and submitted it to HN.
You might want to add those to a GitHub issue.
Typically the technology aboard any space craft is 5 years older or older when it's being sent because it needs to be hardened and tested against the harsh radiation of space. So we're talking imaging tech from at best 2001 on this thing.

So yes bandwidth is an issue but so is the imaging technology. They couldn't put an HD camera on this thing.
Photos of most kinds of disgusting crime are legal.
I wonder if it is possible to check whether the request came through Tor, and not report it in that case? Bringing down exit nodes with CP reports does not seem like it would hurt the right people (only very indirectly).
Are there any other sources with constant up to date imagery like this? This looks great and would like to see other current satellite images, and maybe use them for visualizations or some projects.

I understand your point. In the announcement over at Reddit, people have noted how much of a textbook PR move this is looking like, so I'm assuming the "this is why" is equally calculated and not the whole picture.

However, you're right. The two reasons are not mutually exclusive.
>Reddit need not be that place.

Nope, but then again, being that place is what made it grow so large in the first place.
ScrumTotal – 100% mobile based ScrumTool
7 reasons why we launched 100% mobile-based Scrum tool (ScrumTotal)
The impact of digital transformation is real and agility is the need of the hour. ScrumTotal is not just an agile tool but also an invitation to shed the traditional mindset and explore the potential of true agility.
1.	If you can’t run the Enterprise agile workshop within the ambit of a mobile phone, you are really not agile. That's a bold statement! But if you think it is impossible, think twice it is all in your mind, you need to set your house right. So do your agility test, run your enterprise with a mobile based tool and continue to inspect and adapt until you achieve your goal of becoming agile. Embrace agility with a sense of urgency before you become obsolete like 52% Fortune 500 companies who have fallen off the list since 2000 (Ray Wang Disrupting Digital Business to be published by Harvard Business Review).
2.	Simplicity, thy name is agility – ScrumTotal is an effort in creating a very simple tool for doing all that you need to do in an agile workplace (with some room for enhancement). It is a good example of how you can think simple, and design elegant product with great user experience versus creating a complex feature-rich tool where 70% -80% features are probably never used. Do not make your people toil for something that will never be used.
3.	And finally this tool is an embodiment of fundamentals of Scrum - It is equally useful for learning Scrum and practicing agility. Certainly we need your help to make it more agile friendly.
ScrumTotal is available on Android and iPhone.
Outside of military technology? Clearly, you have not been following the the JSF (Joint Strike Fighter) program. Stealth, multi-purpose, VTOL fighter-jet, able to replace most combat aircraft for all three branches of service. Oops...

It's imaging hardware likely from 2001 or older. Remember this space craft has been in flight for almost 10 years, in development for several years before that and the imaging hardware needs to be well tested and hardened for space flight.
You're arguing over an analogy?

You do realise that two fists tend to be attached to one person, right? A one-two punch can (and often does) represent two attack vectors in quick succession originating from the same cause.
That assumes that torture which reveals reliable information doesn't have significant bad effects. For example the police could put away more criminals if they could just torture anybody, but then nobody would ever risk talking to the police, which might mean crime would go up.
Hydro-electric plants are also very often Black start-capable, even more so than nuclear plants. Basically you only need someone to go up to the upper reservoir and open the hatches manually.

Same holds for dips and surges, you can ramp a pump storage very quickly, same order of magnitude as a fossil plant. Additionally you don't need to have it running on base-load. That's why this mode of operation is currently not feasible for many gas-fired power plants. Gas prices vs electricity prices are so bad (at least in Germany) that you will always loose even in the most modern and most efficient plants if you try to provide control reserve. If you don't run on maximum efficiency you'll loose all the time, if you do, however, you cannot control dips in the power production as the point of maximum efficiency is often near maximum load.

You can run solely on renewables if you have enough hydro plants (see Norway).
I realise that this is probably a troll, but right now (http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/) New Horizons is 14 million kilometres from Pluto. That's 12 light seconds. By comparison, the moon is 1.5 light seconds away.

That picture you were complaining about was taken on 2015-01-25, over six months ago. The vehicle's moving at 16 km/s, which means that it was an additional 290 million kilometres away then. That's nearly a thousand light seconds away. Sixteen light minutes. By comparison, that's the entire width of Earth's orbit.

We need the frickin' Hubble Space Telescope to take good pictures of planets at that sort of distance. It's a tribute to the New Horizon team's technical skill that they managed to resolve Pluto and Charon at all in that picture.

Wouldn't this result in providing a service for pedophiles or sick peoples to propagate and amplify their voice ?
The built-in types slice and map are type-safe and cover 90% of container needs. If you want to use a non-builtin container such as container/heap and you find yourself casting too often, write one or two little wrapper functions for your use case, which encapsulate your casts. This is also an opportunity to make the wrapper represent the problem domain better.
At least rel="nofollow" your link to the site ;)

Microsoft's PowerBI visualisations is open sourced
Of course it's some show for the camera, which doesn't mean they are not exited about the information they're getting.
Exactly. For us who worked on the big software projects, it's something we think of all the time, with the extremes:

- blindly making all class members private, most of the code is the burocracy and a little or even wrong job being done.

- allow everybody access to everything, a mess for the other aspects of brittleness.

Actively maintaining the balance is the hard problem which has to be done all the time as the requirements change all the time, but the task worth doing.
Just wanted to thank you for posting this (it seems no one noticed...), I found it very interesting.
Search for "golang".
Pain in the behind as it is to use and debug, if implemented correctly, it actually works quite well. Used this back in the day for some automated distributed build and test, and performed admirably. Ahh, memories...
You'd rather have zero data than data that comes in slowly? Come on this is hacker news. Quit being a troll.

If you have a better way to conduct communications between Earth and a space craft billions of miles away using technology from over a decade old then you should apply to NASA and prove it.

Remember they have the DSN which this can't tap into (afaik) which has higher bandwidth. But this shit isn't exactly easy. Even if it is easy this is a hardware design from 15 years ago...
A user above mention Microsoft's PhotoDNA. He could run the flagged images through that first and if it returns nothing maybe look at it.

Or don't look at it until a certain number of users flag it but still run it through the PhotoDNA. Now I am curious how imgur handles this problem.
These are from 5.4 million km away.
According to [1], in a few days (July 14) a Pluto system flyby is planned, at a distance of just 12.5 thousand km (and a speed of 13.78 km/s), and they can take images of Pluto's surface at 70m resolution. Pluto's circumference is 7232 km. So, do I understand this correctly that we can realistically expect to see much higher resolution images soon?

Or is the bandwidth really that limiting? It seems that even at 1kbps it would be possible and worth it to transfer some slightly higher resolution images. A typical color JPEG image at 640x480 is at most around 200kB, so that would take 27 minutes to transfer. For example here[2] is Mars at 640x480 in 38.4 kB. Is that unrealistic?

Considering the number of "Download" buttons on torrent sites, I wouldn't be surprised at all of some of them led to an .exe file. And the updates hint that the issue is slowly being resolved.

Nothing to worry about.
"We choose to go to the moon! We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard..."

According to the Office of Management and Budget, NASA's 2014 budget was $17.65 billion. Total spending on the military of the United States in 2013 was $610.1 billion. That means that NASA received the equivalent of 2.8% of our "on the books" (e.g. no emergency allocations) military spending or 0.492% of the total Federal budget.

Meanwhile, NASA delivers pictures of planets (no apologies, Pluto is a planet) so far away we can only barely see them from Earth and has provided the technology to park multiple upon multiple communication devices in orbit and around our solar system.

I can only imagine what they'd do with over $600 billion each year.
It's not a mistake, stop calling an orange purple.
Not to be confused with the Common Lisp Implementation Clozure CL (http://ccl.clozure.com).
Good point, thanks :)
I'd like to point out that space is an extremely large and harsh environment. The three main issues:

1) Distances are huge. Light needs ~5 hours to travel from Pluto to Earth. This means high-gain (=large), directional antennas, and low data-rates to make sure you actually receive the same data that the craft transmits to you (and vice versa).

2) Electronics need to be shielded from radiation and cosmic rays. On Earth, the atmosphere does a this for us (and we still get hit by cosmic rays, leading to things like randomly flipped bits). If you have a space-craft that cannot be directly controlled from Earth (because, 5 hours one-way communication time), you need it to be somewhat autonomous. Random bit-flips can spell disaster, so you need to either bring a ton of shielding, redundant (and well-tested, aka "outdated") systems, or both.

3) All these things add mass to your vehicle. Mass is the single largest cost driver in launch operations.

In summary, space is difficult and expensive to get to and operate in. This costs money. Money is finite, especially in a world where many people would like to see space exploration funding cut because it provides no immediate tangible return.
This seems to be a mistake or dupe of your other submission: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9869048
