Keep in mind that isn't necessarily how news works. If the FBI estimated $1.2 billion, that is a news-worthy fact in of itself. If an expert witness tallied a lower number it would never "replace" the FBI number unless the FB

I always wondered if you could from the ground up visualize, delineate, and track ethnic neighborhoods in NYC without human input. All of the historic naturalization documents and ship manifests have been digitized and OCR'd now and in

Anyone doing this in a serious fashion will have something similar to this kind of setup: Device has a per-device key burned in at the factory and the private keys sit in a manufacturer HSM. Updates are signed by the manufacturer and also e

I've been funding CSS Grid implementation work for 2+ years so that eventually no one needs a framework for grid layout. Go play with it in Chrome and help squash bugs :)

I find it fascinating that through the business lens, Google is competing with Facebook to sell more ads by going into low earth orbit . We didn't get flying cars like they promised in the Jetsons, but that sounds pretty futuristic.

The city deserves a "bug" for that. Computers might not be able to distinguish between those easily, but I'd bet most humans (especially ones not from Portland) would have no idea either. Addresses are not set in stone -- it&

One thing sticks out as a red flag to me: they invented their own spot index (the Winkdex(R)) to price their NAV and that index includes BTC-e. BTC-e is a widely used site in the Bitcoin world, but no one knows who operates it or exactly wh

I highly recommend using an existing DNA service (I use FTDNA) to sequence the Y chromo and/or MTDNA of your living direct relatives (where it makes sense.. only one Y for male line, etc) because the samples are kept in storage and you

Wouldn't you rather use CSS Grid to replace grid frameworks? http://igalia.github.io/css-grid-layout/

In case you want a more "mainstream" sample, I see this on bloomberg.com: IE9 6.20%, IE8 4.09%, IE11 3.80%, IE10 3.12%, IE7 0.42%

It might even make more sense to just use fonts for the icons and leave SVG out of it entirely. I'm referring to the OpenType COLR/CPAL tables Microsoft is pushing: http://opentype.info/blog/2013/07/

The sad part is that the Tokamaks were being defunded in order to fund ITER, which wasn't even built yet. I'm not sure what wound up happening. I visited the one at MIT and got to see it fire live from inside the control room, but

In NYC I couldn't want this more. For example, traffic on the Queensboro bridge gets backed up regularly entering Manhattan in the morning. If you go down to the streets the bridge exits out onto, cars/trucks are routinely parked

Aereo's model wasn't limited to OTA. It wasn't publicized a lot, but Bloomberg TV was the first non-OTA channel to stream over Aereo. http://online.wsj.com/articles/SB100014241278873239815045781...

Related -- Due to Han unification[1], many glyphs you see on the screen in different languages share the same Unicode codepoint. The problem with this is that you no longer have an easy one-to-one mapping to have certain languages render in

I would not have that take-away.. I would instead say that probably most of the users of the signal features described in the article are not concerned with making their code cross-platform.

Curious if anyone here (possibly besides parent) who is running this in production? I thought it looked like the best option for a custom configurable stack (and keeping it up-to-date with security fixes), but there are so many moving parts

You're just making allegations. It says in the contract that the subscription price is based upon how many subscribers subscribe to the service (they need to cover their costs of implementing 24/7 support and a help desk). It prob

The tracing JIT was removed from Spidermonkey because it was brittle and didn't perform as well as the traditional JIT compiler(s) (Jaeger..., Ion...) that replaced it.

Yeah, I'm not sure why it should be assumed the web works the same as a dedicated feed. If I refresh a webpage that has "realtime" market data, I still had to wait for HTTP(S), the web server, network latency, my web browser,
