The scans focused on a particular area. The technology works by placing 'plates' in desired location and collecting the particles that hit those plates. They could only place plates inside the pyramid where they had access, and collect from particular (sic) paths. They aimed for a best-guess area previously unknown but speculated upon. I assume they will repeat the experiment wherever possible to gather more data in the future.

Sounds like my job, my life. IN the grand scheme of things, nothing much has changed in millennia.

I never beat her. The question you were aiming for is "Do you still hit your wife?"

It demands a yes/no answer and thus always appears to be an admission of guilt. Your question leaves it open to answer any way you like.

i think it's also that the technology has been around long enough that consumers just aren't excited by this 'new thing'. Thinking of apps, when smartphones came out there was for a few years excitement about apps and what they could do, camera apps with filters, games, social media, nerd utilities. Every business and every schoolboy's aunt made an app for their service. I can't even remember the last time I went to the app store.

The excitement died, the brilliance faded and now I just want a headphone socket and a music player that isn't trying to sell me a paid service I don't want.

Depends on which country you are in. Your bank card in some European countries is not allowed to receive or store info about the items you purchased, but the shop obviously will and there is a limit on what they can do with that info and for how long they can store it.

So if I pay for petrol with a card and also buy donuts and coffee the bank and the shop cannot market to me according to what I bought, but if I join a loyalty card scheme then I'm opting in and the shop can, but not the bank.

In Norway btw, where govt. are strict about this sort of thing.

IN the video he claims not to have owned a cat or talked about cats for 20 years. they chose a subject that they are certain they have, as a couple, never exchanged words on.

Explaining away doesn't explain. For an average, normal FB user, this was as scientific as they could get. It would be nice to see someone repeat the experiment with a pro-hacker type on hand and a packet sniffer ++.

There are too many people giving a company like fb, who have form on the implementation of morally and ethically dubious practices, the benefit of the doubt, all the while dismissing any and all claims of users. It looks fishy at best, and I'm not name calling, it isn't allowed on this forum, but there are a disproportionate number of FB defenders popping up wherever this story surfaces.

I read that at the time of publication. It made me both sad and angry; all of those children... because of what amounted to bureaucracy. I can't imagine what being a parent at work and too far away to react in time must have felt like. Harrowing stories.

No problem and glad to be of [di]service. I was familiar with the URL you posted, and probably should not have commented as a reply to you, but there you have it. :)

If you have an existing COBOL app you can convert it to a web app and develop using a simpler syntax with more features through SystemZ from Zortec Intl. I've worked with them personally and they were super-duper.

COBOL isn't so bad when you use a modern variant that purposefully deals with many of the complaints surrounding it.

I have a newer iPhone through work, so my 4 is only used for calls, sms and music. I'm keeping it until it dies and then moving away from Apple. What I really want is a true GNU/Linux phone.

Just tried this on my iPhone 4 (yes 4!, iOS 7.?) and I get 4 when adding 1+2+3 quickly, and sometimes 10 or 11(!?).

Looks like this is a feature, not a bug, or else it would have been fixed sometime in the last 8 years! /s

Actually sounds good. I'm tired of Apple devices going in a direction that doesn't fit with what I want, and have never been impressed with Android.

I followed the link, but don't quite understand the product. Does Ubuntu Touch OnePlusOne replace the OS on the device? So I buy one of the supported phones listed, and then erase and replace Android with this in it's place? Or it installs on top of?

For any Mac users wanting to try out text to speech and who didn't already know, it's built into OSX. Have a look in your Preferences panel.

It can be very useful if you want to 'read' something while looking at something else, like a game.

Here in Norway I have never once seen a non-Scandinavian layout keyboard. Not once. As I'm from the UK I have considered getting a UK or US keyboard for coding at home, but at work it isn't an option, mostly because we all have standard equipment and because ø,æ & å.

Ctrl + [ won't work on any non-English keyboard as the square parenthesis are hidden behind a modifier already. This is a constant problem with software, and now hardware, manufacturers that they assume everyone in the whole wide world is using a US keyboard.

Yes, you can remap and fiddle to make it work but that isn't the point, the point is to pay the same price, sometimes more than Americans and get the same value and experience. Instead we get an inferior experience that requires hacks. Not good at all.

When users have to fiddle with settings to do the things they could do before without fiddling, what have you achieved? Apple used to be the UX good guys, now they are the devil in disguise.

Well, I'ma white guy in Scandinavia, doesn't get whiter than that and the police here are not giving an inch. I have a much worse opinion of the police here than in the UK where I am from.

Yeah, but when I was driving 12km/h over the limit I got a huge fine right there and then. I wasn't told to drive under the limit up the road while the police reviewed my behavior. I think that's what OP means, one rule for megacorps, another for the rest of us.

edit: My question is that when you have a company that has a track record, why do government contracts and private enterprise keep begging on the same street corner, instead of looking for work elsewhere, that is to say, why do they keep going back to Windows and not invest elsewhere as investment would lead to an acceptable (to them) enterprise Linux (Red Hat++ exists!)

Glad to hear it's working out well for you and that the naysayers were wrong about everything (incl. the AK)!

Are you the guy who got flak for putting a Mercedes engine in a Jeep and was then told to take an AK47 with you to Ivory Coast? Those discussions were inspiring, funny and tragic all in one, here and on reddit.

IN this podcast there is an interview with one of the creators from the ad agency. It's short and worthwhile.

It's the only time I can have a coherent conversation without being interrupted (married with children), alone, in a car.

I'm soon to be audio free, no auxiliary input on the car's system and FM is being turned off this month in Norway. So, silence from now on aside from the gibbering emanating from my very own pie-hole.

Isn't there also something nice about driving along with only the faint glow of green or blue from the dashboard, not the 46" screen that Tesla have 'tastefully' mounted in the dash?

The fan and AC on a touch screen is an immense failure. Here in Norway there are many tunnels on the motorway and in some conditions this leads to the windscreen steaming up a few seconds after entering the tunnel. Imagine not being able to see out of the car until you fiddle with a touch screen at 120 km/h. Hire cars, where you aren't familiar with the layout are going to be a lot of 'fun'.

edit: ignore the huffy tone this came out in, it wasn't meant that way, early morning.

I was talking about work as a professional developer. We can all 'make a site', there exists any number of solutions for that, CMSes like Wordpress, Drupal etc don't count in this argument unless _you_ wrote Wordpress or Drupal from the ground up. Being a wordpress hack isn't being a developer. You won't ever be asked to write something straightforward in enterprise, you'll need to know at least HTML5 & CSS & angular 1.0 & 2+ (or similar) & docker & gulp/grunt & backend & databases & jenkins & MVC & node/npm & version control & bootstrap (or similar) and and and.

99% of sites outside of a company that makes real money and doesn't just serve a page are sites that aren't what developers actually do at work.

I don't mind ads generally, people have to get paid and products have to get promoted (not really, but it's how the world turns). Tracking is something that I can happily say goodbye to and feel better about using the web knowing it is gone. If only this would come to desktop and not just mobile.

Browsers should make it much easier to manage cookies and privacy than they currently do. Even just getting the average user, including lazy old me, to go into settings and look through a long list of cryptically named gibberish in order to remove everything to do with facebook every time my SO has used the family PC is a chore. So much so in fact that I keep a PC from which my SO is banned. It's my Linux island.

> with MS and hardware manufacturers already working to tighten things from the other end (see HDCP and the various frameworks for "protected content" that MS has been working towards).

HN users would do well to keep this in mind the next time they are singing MS's praises about how MS are embracing open source and becoming the savior of all things programming.

Comedy aside, CSS isn't the problem, but if an experienced web-dev can't make a site without learning for 5+ years and then feel like they have no knowledge of web development then we have a problem, and that's where we are now.

The problem with the long list of frameworks and libraries available is that there is no easy way to make a web2.0 site without years and years of learning and then the resulting site is a mish-mash of what works without it being easy to maintain. Sitting here looking at .NET & angularjs 1.x and wondering where it all went wrong (actually, not the.,NET part, that seems to work).

I don't have it either. I have a 'moments' link on my profile page, not on my feed, but as I have not created any 'moments' for myself, it's just a blank page telling me what they are.

Of course they knew, Britain has a long history of camp in the theater. They maybe didn't know the words' meaning but they knew the gay subtext and overtones.
