It's a loss /as an investment/ if you can't sell it for more than you bought it for (modulo inflation). You still got value in the form of shelter for your expenditure in the form of a mortgage just as you would have if

NIF is explicitly and publicly a weapons research facility; it's right there on their website[0]. If they happen to do some useful scientific or commercial work then yay but it's a nice byproduct. [0] https://lasers.lln

To expand on this: In most FPSes your move commands are binary, "W" or nothing. You can alter them a bit with combinations, Shift-W to sprint or perhaps Ctrl-W to crawl but you're still limited to a handful of preset speeds.

It lines up in some ways, not in others. Liberals are known for their high fertility rate as well as their opposition to abortion to ensure the highest number of offspring. Likewise the conservative obsession with childhood nutrition, educa

A former coworker of mine endorsed me for, among things I actually do know, "lubrication", "flexibility" and "potatoes". It took me a good while to notice and another good while to stop laughing. Of course a ti

I'm not really sure what you mean. If I have $100 in treasuries is there anything but a US gov't default that will prevent me from getting my whatever yield?

I am not a financial advisor and this is not financial advice. The underlying assumption in retirement planning is that your investment mix is supposed to change as you get closer to retirement. If you invest 60/40 at age 30 and you&#x

Is ~$5k a year to fund a roth IRA really going to crimp your style that much? Alternatively, if you can't afford to do that maybe you can't afford quite as hedonistic a lifestyle as you thought.

Thanks, none of the coverage I'd seen made the BoA/Countrywide distinction.

Also, is the battery removable? I won't be getting one (married to Verizon at this point) but a non-removable battery would be a second deal breaker for me.

"Additive manufacturing" is pretty vague, wish this went into more detail on what specific process they're testing. I'm hoping it's http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electron_beam_freeform_fabricat..

$16k is also a harder sell than $2k, especially for a pilot that may not end up being useful.

Are these actually shipping yet? I know a few places that would be interested in trying them out but the "shipping soon we promise!" is a hard sell.

You can get 8-core Xeons (X7550 to pick a random one) and 16-core Opterons (6378 for example). More importantly 2013 Xeons do much more per clock cycle than 2006 Xeons (and 2013 Opterons for that matter). Improvements in pipelining, branch

IANAL but I believe if the tenant can show you accepted rent it counts as a month to month lease and standard eviction process applies [0]. I don't know what it takes to show that but in general nyc courts are pretty tenant friendly. [0] h

You mean the internet doesn't just magically provide me with everything I ask for? ;) I appreciate the work you've done here. It's also a little sad that this level of examination is so rare.

I was kind of surprised that this wrapped up without including Cassandra. Excellent series regardless.

It's definitely doable either way but having a fixed maximum mailbox size makes a lot of things a lot easier. Individual users get moved in smaller and bounded chunks, you can spec storage utilization as a simple function of number of users

Yeah this is double-edged news for Pro customers. On one hand you can give people lots of storage. On the other hand they'll use it and it'll then be that much harder to ever move off big G.

Unscientifically I've seen between 1-3 messages per second via imapsync so ~a day. The bottleneck seems to be the IMAP protocol or rate limiting on google's side, I've certainly never seen it approach wire speed.

Heck the efficiency gains are the maybe the fourth most important reason I switched to LEDs. #3 is bragging rights of course, #2 is the instant-on vs CFLs (barely perceptible 1/10 sec until 100% brightness). #1 is the annoyance cost of havi

Don't get me wrong, I'm optimistic myself. I'm just a bit concerned about how some poorly defined cohort of 'people who don't read HN' are going to fare; not all of those trends are looking super rosy.

And I haven't been this excited (nay, giddy) since I was about 6 and reading Space Colonies For Kids or whatever. I'm a bit worried about the bimodality of the future but man the good parts are going to be good .
