>Some folks might be able to obtain or sell it anonymously... This is wrong. Anyone with access to the equipment to use it, can obtain it anonymously by mining it. The fact that people choose convenience over security is not an inher

>You may, but it's certainly not illegal, and it's no different than what happened here. No one is arguing that it is illegal (not even the article). It is a bad system.

This showing up next to "LibHTTP: Open Source HTTP Library in C" on the HN front page made me giggle. Someone should start a website a-la bitcoinobituaries for C. C will be around for as long as everything under the sun has a C co

>Trip length simply has minimal safety impact. Yes, and trip length is pretty much the only metric that matters as airplanes are faster than everything else. Since planes are so fast, the only thing I "value" when flying is how

It borders on the impossible to fake data on this scale and in such amounts. The deficit forecast for 2009 (the year the crisis started) was 3.7 which got revised to 12.5 percent at the end of that year. Any sufficiently large institution o

The B-1 can not even reach Mach 1 at such a lot altitude. It's maximal operating velocity (at any altitude) is Mach 1.25. People tend to really underestimate how much harder it is to go faster once you reach 0.90 or so, especially at l

...and someone probably got the order wrong as the columns are too short. In the following picture we can see how tall the portico roof was expected to be and where it ended up: https://c2.staticflickr.com/4/3496/

Yeah, especially the beginning of the route, taken to avoid Malaysian airspace. Why would someone do that in the simulator? Also, having practically spent half of my free time flying around in FSX I can tell you, flying over any ocean is bo

Autopilot systems in aviation have become so complex and diverse that there is no single catch-all sentence to describe them. I guess you could come close with the phrase "a system designed to keep and guide the state of the aircraft w

It's the little details that are hard to explain, like the missing tongue or the brain damage.

I don't think that a lot of people are saying that it can not be done. What I hear people saying is that it is a bad idea. Sure, you can make a modular phone -that will be (de facto) technologically worse or more expensive than its non

This. I enjoy working here in Germany for this exact reason, unions and workers rights. It feels so damn great to work in a country where I feel that I am being treated fair and where I know that I can count on my colleagues (not just at my

Allow me to disagree. Therms and ideologies do not only describe what someone works towards but also how he does so. In the case of anarcho-communism and anarcho-capitalism both are very different. A striking difference is how each one of t

I guess you only include stuff you buy day to day. It would be interesting to see how much those companies are involved with the bigger things you buy infrequently (like a house or a car.)

It 100% will be a huge deal with flight sims. The Rift is ideal for that. In a few years, playing a sim without some kind of high immersion device like the Rift will be like playing a flight sim without a joystick today.
