It's mainly derived from the frequency and magnitude of the wave. The frequency derives from the period of the binary system, which in turn derives from the masses of the two black holes. Once the period has been determined it's

So I downloaded this thinking it was a hoax but my PIN is totally in there. I immediately deleted the file but I'm wondering what liability I might have now for receiving stolen data? Even more stupidly I did this on my employer&#x27

Startled to read this, since I point to syntax highlighting as the single biggest boost to productivity since I started coding (back in the monochrome monitor years). Now coding without it feels like trying to play chess with non-Staunton

Uber may not be making a profit directly on the leases, but it's clearly a way to get more drivers at a lower effective wage. In one week in May, Schmitt earned $604 for 28 hours of work, she said — a slightly better-than-ave

This is like saying eating less meat is worthless because the only valid choice is to go vegan. The Volt has comparably practical electric-only range to popular "full-on" electric cars like the Leaf (~50 miles, so plenty for dail

Is there no distinction for "read-only collaborators"? We build software for many clients, they often request some (say 2 to 10) of their own users be added to the repository but only for viewing our work, not committing new code

It's sort of like a casino saying the chips are worth zero because the cashier works for a different company. This is exactly how pachinko gambling works in Japan. You win a prize (doll, medal, etc.) in the pachinko parl

There's a significant misconception in this article: Today, the fate of a module is decided by NPM the company, and they are not afraid of deleting your module and letting someone else have it. This is not what happene

This will only get worse, since millennials will also be saddled with paying their parent's generation's pensions. Inflation is the obvious answer, I just wonder if it will come without a major upheaval first.

The problem is that "is going to stay smallish" is a prediction that has a very high chance of being wrong in the very long term. There's also an assumption that the organization retains its understanding of the monolith ind

My concern with this is embedded right in the article: One of the benefits to the majestic monolith is that it basically presumes that the people who work on it also understand it. I don't consider this a benefit, it i

To expand on this somewhat, Airbnb likes to pretend their business is about the unregulated and largely legal practice of people renting out an extra room, or perhaps every once in a while their whole vacant home for a short period of time

I'd be interested to see the original photos for those two. I expect a lot of the "art" we sense in those came from the photographer, not the algorithm.

It seemed to work reasonably well since the typical user was only needing it an hour or two each week. All of those users needed some authoring ability so Reader wasn't a solution in this case.

A recent client of mine dealt with this by buying dedicated laptops to run Tableau on, when you needed to use it you just tracked down one of them. Seems like there should be a rule of thumb around this--software licenses should not be so

Usually it was a loss in an earlier period that you've rolled forward to offset profits in a later period. They can expire though, so if you don't make a profit in time they become worthless. Companies carry them as an asset on

This can't possibly just be a hardware play. This investment would buy 1.3 million Oculus Rifts at retail price. At component prices and figuring economies of scale lets say it could fund the construction of perhaps 5 million units.

This is roughly my guess as well, though I'd guess a ZIP code or some similar geographical construct (ZIP3, ZCTA, etc.) rather than a city name.

At the start the only spots are on campus, but I'm hoping they will eventually offer true one way trips ala car2go, which I've found to be a fundamentally more useful service than zipcar. $6/hour if you only need one hour to

Because it is actually not easy? Keep in mind Apple has unprecedented resources so not easy is not really a problem for them, as Musk pointed out recently they've hired thousands of people to work on this. Also I think it has been do

I think if there's one thing Ford should be afraid of from Apple it's not taking marketshare, it's taking profit share. Apple has carved out exactly that slice of the the smartphone market where you can make a profit, and le

This is a classic case of learning nothing by averaging together two different populations (as acknowledged in the article, critically-acclaimed indies and mainstream blockbusters). Its like averaging the height of an NBA team with a kinde

The half-billion dollar number seems overstated, that was a theoretical market cap and doesn't imply that much money really changed hands. If I'm reading this correctly Anchorage's actual takeaway was "only" about

I'd suggest an escrow system but their coupon system seems to make this problem nearly unfixable: It said no money had changed hands from the sale of Mr Hunt's course "as the fraudulent instructor had created coupon c

I think if there's any lesson to be taken from this it's that presenting bounded, well-described (and thus easily undertaken) sub-projects is probably more effective than simply inviting developers to "help out" in some
