That's a paradoxical thing to say, since you probably discovered him through his free soloing. You might not have been his fan had he not free solo'd.

That's a shame because it's pretty useful to say e.g. you're in a 15 FTE company with about 20 colleagues.

I do believe Windows Phone does that perfectly, if it's any help...

Well why do you think we should? I don't know of any positioning principles that do not rely on measuring the distance to some known reference -- be it a star, sattelite, ground station or your place of departure.

Yes, and additionally the problem is then not Euclidian anymore. For example the triangular inequality (distance from A to B directly is always shorter than or equal to distance from A to B via C) does not hold. I'd guess that that wil

> Indeed, between 2002 and 2007, employment at breweries actually declined in the midst of an economic expansion. I'm not sure this is a bad thing. Although it means loss of jobs, it also means the breweries got more efficient (prod

Times have changed. If Russia were to invade Finland today, they wouldn't do it in the midst of winter, with large armies along roads that can easily be cut off. I think the Fins are right in preparing for the worst, or as the departme

Although I think ship control can definitely be made more user-friendly, what you are asking for is of similar complexity as a self-driving car.

Since it's funded by DARPA this is most likely the envisioned application.

This site/app is my favorite because you can compare three models side by side: gfs, ecmwf and nems.

Seconded! A classic.

Interesting phenomenon! To me it makes intuitive sense when viewed as a uniform distribution of money between 0 and ~$100. Bottom graph approaching linear. In that light these kinds of posts can be a bit disappointing: "here, have a si

Latex still is the least bad option for technical writing. I never get used to Word's figure captioning, numbering and referencing, and although the equation editor is vastly improved, multiline alignment is still tricky. And version c

It would take a lot less training however, if 'programming in English' was widely available.

Would be more viable having a stock of frozen sperm and a minimum requirement on female crew. Still, I don't think that is the primary function of these submarines. Edit: seems that women have only recently begun serving on submarines:

If the issue is crash safety and weight distribution, wouldn't very lightweight people pose as much of a problem?

One source I know of are the 'cultural dimensions' by Geert Hofstede [1]. I find it useful as a mental model, though it's a simplification of course, and thus open to criticism. Doesn't tell you how to handle this situat

OT: thanks for bringing this up! It is this kind of clash of informed opinions that I read the HN comments for.

It seems OP uses the arc lamp for its almost-point-source qualities. Halfway down the first page he simulates a led source, it will create a less sharp focal point.

At times I do need an audio/video converter, and it is always a bit of a pain sifting trough all the dubious and low quality freeware programs. Although Handbrake is not really dubious, last time I tried it wasn't very user friend

The most surprising thing is that the whole chain of events seems to have been nobody's intent. From wikipedia: Chalfie and Tsien invited Prasher and his wife, Virginia Eckenrode, to attend the Nobel Prize ceremony, as their guests and

I'm a bit skeptic. They have several very good examples, and those are really impressive. Everything about how often these striking results occur is 'coming soon' though. And since it is neural network-based, being lucky some

That's less elegant than I hoped for. Still works though!

I always wonder with these kinds of puzzles how one can come up with an initial settings that (a) yields a unique correct solution and (b) has a logical next step at every step (so doesn't require thinking ahead x steps to arrive at a
