The disappointing thing to me is all the time spent on this case: lawyers, administrators, jury members, and so on that could be doing something different, hopefully more meaningful to society. People blame the hospitals but this the game t

Basically the concept of rPython is you write your interpreter in rPython you get a jit for “free”. However your target language doesn’t have to be Python. A list of rPython projects is here: https://rpython.readthedocs.io/e

Are you serving files other then html/images/css, etc? 300tb is a lot, AWS cloudfront would be charging ~$6000/month by a quick estimate. Recognize they were probably taking a loss with your business, I'm surprised you d

Seems like the problem here is there is several high quality and well-developed formats, but the author and the commenters here dismiss them because of the different trade-offs they make. csv -- Simple for simple use cases, text-based, howe

If high quality light field displays become common place they might be. Think like a 3D display that looks more like a window then a display.

Maslow's theory was never proven and in fact is widely criticized but it provided a starting point for people to think about theories of motivation. Also see the ERG theory which builds off of it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&

Yes, it reminds me of the “Americans designed a pen that can be used in space, Russians just used pencil” joke. Even though that joke is wrong… graphite breaks off and is a fire hazard… in this case using dispensers seem to eliminate this p

Why not hydrogen? Hydrogen's weakness is volume and cost; but for shipping neither of those is a huge concern. Batteries are more efficient but given the scale for shipping that may not be as much

I think are right but not because of the size of the internet. Although the web has grown, the cost of computing and bandwidth has decreased and there’s a lot of open tools, technologies, and open datasets like YaCy and Common Crawl. The da

Sad to see commenters here not reading the article and just reacting to the headline. The article is about contagious vaccines for animals for diseases that do not currently spread to humans.

It sounds like A01- broken access control. Simply that judyrecords was marching through record ids and the backend was not authenticating that access. The backend I think they said is a relational database. This is the most common security

Games aren’t made to look physically realistic at all costs; it’s an artistic effort to try to make games look visually good, communicate with players clearly, and balance performance. SSAO is subjective if it looks good, but it often does

If you want a real answer, it’s because there are many other companies that would love to hire Mr. Cook and would be willing to pay a lot to do it.

Your spreadsheets look nice! I think if I was a banker I would be thinking "okay but what if no one shows up and wants to buy". All the spreadsheets say is that you will lose at least $140k (probably more if you didn't includ

If you think about it like gambling it makes sense. It takes about $14 billion per year to maintain the current price given that new bitcoins are "mined", so that's the theoretical supply inflation right now not subtracting d

If all apps go on strike, an app that crosses the picket line gets all the revenue in their market. This is related to the economic term "cartel", and why they are unstable in practice.

I get that but also consider that people are free to publish in other journals. Although it does make me uncomfortable that its a for-profit company, they only print 7-10 articles a month, so I can understand the financials mathematics of n

The article says "Our aim is to ensure that lack of funds is never a barrier to publishing with us." As in they will provide funding if someone can't afford it. Isn't this a really good thing? What is the average budget

Anyone want to guess as to why? Here is my guesses: * iMessage. Teenagers are pretty social and try hard to fit in. Teens may feel more "cool" and "in" to use the same type of device, and iMessage also cements that. * Af
