I took another approach to this. I have been meaning to post it to HN for a while, though it is still a little raw. I call it geokode - https://geokode.com - it is meant to be like bitly for location. You can essentially choose what your

Well, it depends on how far back you want to go. All elements come from nuclear reactions in suns/stars which occur partly due to gravity. Some elements are unstable making them radioactive, some of which we use for nuclear fission. Big chu

This is sort of a tangent, but why don't more people use Amazon FPS. I know it requires that the customer have an Amazon account (which many customers do have), but it is supported in many countries. You can at least have it has one of the

The uncertainty principle does not state that you can't measure both position and momentum; it states that you can't measure both accurately. So, as your accuracy of one increases, the accuracy of measurement of the other decreases. Some pe

I think you missed the quote monjaro posted which I responded to "According to the generalized uncertainty principle, the Planck length is in principle, within a factor of order unity, the shortest measurable length - and no improvements in

What I stated above was an interpretation of the statement you cited. In essence, I (and many others) would posit that if you can't measure it, then you can never know it exists. So, the smallest length any object can have is the Planck len

Fair point. Depending on how you define it, all charges are an integral multiple of e or e/3 (see below). Either way, the relevant point to this discussion is that charge is quantized/discrete. As for the Fractional quantum Hall effect, bas

From my understanding, the Planck length is the smallest length there can be, and every other length has to be an exact integral multiple of the Planck length [1]. I believe the same applies to the other Planck units [2]- they are fundament

Note that the article you submitted has a trailing /, this submission doesn't and so was not detected by HN as a duplicate story - or so it seems.

This will hopefully make it much easier to build sites that span multiple clouds or at least can failover to another cloud.

I have tried both Namejet and Snapnames recently. I used Namejet two times to try to get domains that expired and were under redemption. For Namejet you need to place a backorder and state the amount you are willing to pay, though I believe
