Blocked in the UK. Can someone help us read our own website? Edit: why is this at -3? You guys are assholes.

Not an expert, but what you describe is testing different parts of the system. Real world data tests that the sensor system is creating an accurate model of the environment, whereas simulated data ensures that the vehicle makes correct deci

Having a space station is not important. Having the infrastructure to build and maintain a space station is important. When the US stopped sending people to the moon it stopped to be capable of sending people past LEO. A space station at

Right but what I'm saying is that two versions of the same library will live quite happily together, because node.js absolutely abhors global scope. The two versions have their own module-level scope to store functions and data. So go

That's not how it works. There will be two copies of x in the require cache. They don't know of each other's existence.

It's much weaker. Only reason for a password manager to use it is laziness or ignorance.

Marriage and religion are both prehistoric. They are cultural universals, present wherever you look. The ubiquity of marriage across vastly disparate cultures means either that there's a strong force compelling all societies to develop

Basically in the unrealistic situation of a closed system, GC can be faster. But it makes FFI significantly harder (e.g. V8 API)

Mobile devices are ideal candidates to be thin clients, because they are battery powered. If most instances of greater capability can be implemented as a thin client, then it's not CPU performance that is the bottleneck, but mobile ISP

It's funny that the MIT license has the reputation of being "The license you choose when you don't care about attribution, or it would be unreasonable to require attribution". As the article points out, copies of MIT lic

Think you're reading too much into it. Most software license agreements have silly rules and restrictions that nobody takes any notice of - at home. Businesses have to be more careful.

Seriously, if you're going to steal Wired's content and submit it to HN, please at least host it statically so it doesn't fall over immediately.

$10 off vs $10 credit is exactly the same thing unless you never buy anything from Amazon ever again.

Speaking personally, I do. Internet ads are usually a sign of low-quality content, for instance they seem to have an incredible power to turn previously esteemed newspapers into clickbait factories. The best content on the internet is ad-fr

There's a difference between thinking something and saying it. You're entitled to think he is a rapist, you're not entitled to say it (in public, without some kind of qualification like "alleged"). It's espec

I don't get what you're saying. How is it possible to write code without string literals? subprocess.check_call([ "/usr/bin/env", "echo" "hello world" ])

Flying cars are really about having a personal aircraft that can be operated by non-pilots -- like a car can be. i.e. it has to be fully autonomous, because the average person can't be trusted to perform the usual functions of a pilo

I'm sorry but that is astonishingly ignorant. The EU isn't an affront to the people who have fought and died, it is a project to bring European countries together after a thousand years of warfare and tens of millions of killed in

You're not taking into account future emissions. If everybody stopped buying PV cells from China, that would severely retard the development and rollout of PV, and so cause more emissions.

Renaissance Tech? Clearly at some level of expenditure you can beat risk/return of the market, but it doesn't necessarily scale either up or down. You need enough money to hire your army of PhDs, but not so much money that it star

And where does the average young person in Hong Kong go to watch MMA? YouTube. As a Brit, the only reason I can even comprehend your comment, is because I have read Americans talking about UFC on the internet, and watched some clips on yout

Another casualty of the internet. Before the web, you would pretty much only learn about whatever martial arts were available in your area. There was no objective truth. In the absence of evidence, comparisons between martial arts were done

Using the law to block crawlers is more like saying: 1. Google can come in 2. Other Americans can't come in 3. Chinese people can come in (or anywhere else where US laws don't apply) It might not be unfair, but it is certainly p

You can't apply that to infrastructure spending. Passenger and freight rail improves the overall efficiency of an economy, it's absolutely reasonable to attempt to determine the net benefit from it.
