That's partially why I like the idea (if not the implementation, apparently) of Mr. Yuck and his friend that I just learned about, Mr. Ouch [0]. To me, it looks like he gets the point across pretty well-- come near here and die. There's no need for left-to-right reading and the cause and effect are in one clear image.

Pretty odd time for a press conference, right?

I actually only use the right shift and very barely use the left one myself

When getting it wrong starts costing them money, is my guess.

I'll answer your question with another question: how much money did they lose because of this power outage?

Until the money lost is greater than the costs associated with adding redundant, backed up power supplies, they probably won't be added.

Flaps do increase drag (especially at higher speeds) but they also decrease the stall speed which is why they're deployed during takeoff and landing-- they allow a slower takeoff speed. In effect, at lower speeds, the lift increase has a bigger effect than the drag.

I interpret that to mean that the NSA said "Add this and give only us a way to turn it off"

They didn't lose though. They're back without having to change anything on their end.

The fact that the maximum tweet length doubled means that Twitter's external behavior did change

I moved my i3 arrow keybindings over from jkl; to hjkl. MOD+H does horizontal split, I think? I remapped it to MOD+B to be right next to the vertical split key.

They both have an insane false-positive rate as well as an insane false-negative rate (95%, as other people have pointed out).

I don't think the article ever really answers the question that it posed in the subtitle: does insurance cover hagfish slime?

Invoking Betteridge's law of headlines, I'm guessing not?

World Cup 2014 probably beats July 20, 1969 as far as pure viewership numbers go

Edit: 600 million watched the moon landing [1], 3.2 billion watched the World Cup [2]

You understate the issue-- the GPIO pins had a default throughput of 230 Hz [https://communities.intel.com/message/207904#207904]

At the company where I work, they temporarily disable accounts for both paternity and maternity leave to prevent that exact issue.

On the other side of things, there are certainly laptop computers without active cooling-- the new MacBook, for instance

You can swing your arms around as much as you like, but if you swing them into someone's face, that's illegal. As someone posted above, you can make food with peanuts as much as you'd like, but if you sneak peanuts into someone's meal who you know is allergic to peanuts, that's illegal.

Tweeting gifs? Fine. Tweeting gifs at someone with the intent to cause harm? Illegal

But you can't charge and use it at the same time

I'm seeing studies showing the reverse-- endorphins can suppress insulin creation (and lead to hyperglycemia) (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2944808). Got any links? Really interested in reading more (see username)

It's not just 'load' the syringe. There's a liquid and a powder that has to be mixed. First, the liquid is injected into the powder. Remember to remove the protective cap from the vial and the two protective caps from the needle (apparently, people frequently forget the one on the vial and break the syringe). Then, mix by rolling, not shaking, for 30 seconds. Then, withdraw the mixture into the syringe and inject it.

Not only does it need to be kept refrigerated, the shelf-life isn't that long to begin with (about a year).

I'm also a T1D and there's a reason that, despite the various seizures I've had in my lifetime, I've never received Glucagon.

Cake icing squirted between your gum and cheek also works (although everything ends up sticky and blue by the end of it).

Edit: I didn't mean to sound like you didn't know what you were talking about, I just wanted to expand on what you were saying about 'show and tell'

I can't imagine there's anything "important" enough that would bring down the whole plane with one shot. I mean, sure you might kill a person or two, but pretty much every system is double- or triple-redundant, even the pilot(s).

I'm running Chrome in Win10 and it does the exact behavior you describe only Linux/OSX doing.

> Anyhow, the upshot of this is that US rocket scientists spent literally tens of billions of dollars developing hyper-locally-optimised rocketry schemes, most of which failed outright. For the remainder, for every dollar of kerosene they didn't have to buy, they probably spent upwards of $1000 on exotic aerospace hardware. Finally, they gave up and just bought kerosene-based engines from the government.

What do you mean by this? The Mercury Atlas launch vehicle used kerosene / LOX in its first stage. The Saturn V used kerosene / LOX in its first stage and LOX / LH2 in subsequent stages.

Also, for the majority of spaceflight, both manned and unmanned, "US rocket scientists" were the government, right? Especially after WWII.

What's a more efficient way of getting from San Francisco to LHR? Via ship, the long way?

I'd probably buy one or two.

In college, I was a mechanical engineer living with a CompSci major, CompE major, and a CompSci / CompE double-major. I'd occasionally stop them when they were explaining things to me with "Explain like I'm a MechE". Slightly less self-deprecating than "mathematically inclined idiot", but same gist.

Because of this, I was also quite useful as a rubber duck for debugging.

If it can work with one phone, Apple can easily modify it to work on any phone

This isn't something newly discovered, I hope.

In this case, the user clicking through the prompt isn't the issue. They wanted to run the non-malicious installer and so they did. If they read and re-read the prompt, they would still make the same decision
