When real-time trading data is available from MtGox these sites show up to date charts and seem to be the most up-to-date. http://coinlab.com http://bitcoin.clarkmoody.com/

It's variable. Each miner decides (in software) which transactions to include in a block. Everything is in here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_specification Or read the source code for the standard client: https://github.com/bitco

I wonder if they are contracting with Blue Origin (Jeff Bezos's space company). They've been focusing on powered return from the beginning of their program. http://www.blueorigin.com/updates/updates-2011-11-17-video-o...

Schools using Khan Academy have the ultimate in "tracking" - each student has a customized class geared exactly to his or her current abilities.

The true problem is obviousness. Any machine is reducible to an algorithm is reducible to an integer. They are all the same. It's ridiculous to say that algorithms are "discovered" and not "made by man". There needs to be a better proced

I think the article said $10 billion dollars - not kroner for the acquisition (or $60 billion kroner). This sort of tax avoidance feel unethical to me - you have 600 employees in Denmark developing this software, but all the profits are bei

It's a shame to have to arbitrarily make this tradeoff. There is nothing inherent in saying that apps that desire rich client-side navigation are 100% the apps the DON'T require search engine support. Google does have a spec for hash-bang

I think there is a place for anchor URLS - they make sense as a means of expressing purely client-side navigation. Note that, by design, they will never be transmitted to the server - so there is no need to mirror the client-side navigation

The search engines complicate the design choice of client-side vs. server-side MVC. While there are ways to hint search engines to retrieve searchable views of our application data, it adds an additional layer of complexity to your applica

When many of us started using computers, all you could do with them was learn to program them. There were relatively few distractions of video games, or the Internet to draw your focus away. Today's computers are so engaging as a communica

I would have agreed with you several years ago - but Google has vastly improved this across their services over the last two years. There are still holes, but I now can switch accounts in a single drop-down on most Google sites I use. I st

I believe some mobile browsers do not support GZIP - but I don't have the data. Presumably older models (a dying breed) - but returning GZIP'ed content without receiving the appropriate accepts header is non-compliant with the HTTP standar

Is there still an issue with GZIP encoding S3-delivered static assets? From my reading, it looks like Amazon will not automatically convert assets to to GZIP encoding when the browser indicates support. Rather, you have to upload GZIPed f

This seems a politically motivated press release by the NTSB. Boeing certainly wants to get their planes back in the air. This misleading declaration that NTSB has identified a "cause" is the first step in removing the grounding order on

I think it's wrong that this level of product integration is what everyone wants; i.e. functioning as a tablet and as a laptop. One of Microsoft's most powerful profit generators was software integration (both in Office and Windows). But i

This story is a hack job. The reporter (James Glanz) is fascinated by quoting large numbers and pointing to the "waste". There are so many flaws in this piece I hardly know where to begin. From an economic argument, data center operators
