Link to the paper [1] (with microscopy images) in the Journal of Applied Physics leads the 3rd paragraph of the article.

The third oldest living organism ever documented was a Bristlecone Pine dubbed "Prometheus" in Great Basin National Park (the same park as the story).

It was at least 4862 years old before being cut down for study!

Can you elaborate a bit more on what you found bloated about Atom-Shell over Node-Webkit?

I've been going down the AS route as I too found Node-Webkit was stale and AS was very active.

I may switch to NW.JS if the reasons are compelling enough though...

Hmm... didn't work then started working for me. It appears re:splashed is just sourcing (i.e. hotlinking) from unsplash [1] anyways. Reusing the images is fine under CC0, but I'm not sure if unsplash cares if re:splashed is hotlinking.

Anyways, you can see the images over at [1] http://unsplash.com

I hate to one-up -- but I stumbled (via startuptabs) across re:splashed [1] yesterday.

It's a site with 563 free high res stock images, also with the same (CC0 1.0) license.

The biggest advantage I see is HTML imports [1] finally providing a common bundling mechanism for HTML/CSS/JS. Custom elements can also finally get devs out of <div> hell.

This and Web Components [1] in general are high on my list of technologies to learn.

No doubt influenced by the MIT Bitcoin Project [1] that gave $100 in BTC to every MIT undergrad this fall.

I was going to comment that this sounds like an opportunity to get mileage out of the huge amount of typeinfo already provided by DefinitelyTyped by building a tool to convert .d.ts into .d.flow files.

After investigating this thought, it looks like this already at the top of the list for future plans for Flow:

> "But Wilson says the population has steadily grown, and he estimates between 30 and 50 wallabies live on Lambay today."

There's also a small population of Brush Tailed Rock Wallabies living in Kalihi valley on the island of O`ahui, Hawaii. The are descended from a pair that escaped from a private zoo in 1916 [1].

Estimates on the population vary, but the state estimated it reached as high as 75 animals in the 90's [2].

Occasionally someone will snap a photo of one, such as this one in 2013 [3].

Thank you for pointing this out!

For those wanting to avoid upgrading to a new boot2docker release you can patch the vulnerability with the following command from the boot2docker shell:

  sudo sed -i "s/DOCKER_TLS:=''/DOCKER_TLS:=auto/g" /etc/init.d/docker && sudo /etc/init.d/docker restart

This will enable TLS by default and restart the docker daemon. Note that this will also kill all of your running containers.

And at the other end of the spectrum: the state of Hawaii has told UberX and Lyft to stop all airport service until they obtain permits and pay fees.
