If the codename for Plutonium on the bomb project was 'Copper' then I wouldn't be surprised if 'Pu' as an homage to 'Cu' also factored into his decision.

There were eyewitness reports that the gunmen were talking to each other in French. So, that's something. If they were recently-arrived refugees that probably wouldn't be the case, though it doesn't rule out long-term embedde

The article isn't saying you can claim executive compensation for SR&ED. He's saying that the SR&ED tiers are tied to net profits, which executive compensation counts against. So you can increase CEO pay to push more of yo

I don't understand the intricacies of FDA approval so I might be confusing things here, but why is Theranos' front page currently claiming "Theranos Receives FDA Clearance"?

But it's not really any harder to do it properly. So many good libraries exist. You kinda have to go out of your way to use the wrong thing here.

What is disrespectful about removing repo access? What, did he need to fix those last-minute bugs for his former employer?

Neat. How does it work? Like, do they compile one system's triggers to some sort of intermediate language, and then compile that back to the target system's language? Does the resulting code resemble something a human would write?

Genuinely curious how it's possible to port things like triggers from one engine to the next, when they may have fundamentally different syntax and semantics.

Wait, so the water purification project led to the discovery that neutrinos have mass? EDIT: Oh okay, I get it now. The project wasn't about building water purification systems, they just needed really really pure water to run particle

You're crazy if you think the paraphrasing was less offensive than the actual quote. I actually support Linus' (and the entire kernel team's) decision to be the way they are. You're discrediting his wit by saying the O

Maybe I'm confused, but it seems like he won the prize for completely unrelated work. Does the prize committee award it for the full lifetime work and simply pick one nominal project to credit, or has Arthur McDonald simply done two

I mean, it's a pretty accurate paraphrasing ( https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/7/7/80 ): > Of course, I'd also suggest that whoever was the genius who thought it > was a good idea to read things

The biggest disappointment for me, from poking around the tvOS SDK docs, is that the high-fidelity microphone (which clearly must exist on the remote in order for the Siri-enabled features to work) is not accessible from a public API. Here&

He means that the submission guidelines (capital letters) makes it impossible to follow the brand identity. He's referring to HN the piece of software, not the community.

The most important part of this story seems to be glossed over – how did an IAM key that the author insists only had access to the Alexa service get used to spin up EC2 instances? Either the author is just mistaken/lying about that poi

The news to me here is that those contests actually pay out. I assumed the vast majority were just marketing ploys, where they never picked the winner, or chose one of their own sock puppets. After all, who would ever know?
