Even in Japan it's cheaper to fly between Osaka and Tokyo than take the train. The train is a lot more convenient, though. There are only a few corridors where high speed rail makes sense. Northeast US. Texas Central…
For a moment I thought it was going to be another chat app. Instead it's... something? A one sentence description at the beginning of the page wouldn't hurt...
Landscape pictures can serve as a reminder of what you were doing, a sort of diary. Sure, you could find professional photos, but they won't be as rooted in your memory. By looking at an old photo you remember where you…
Although there are teething issues, for US allies the unit the F-35 is attractive due to a unit cost which is lower than any of its competitors (such as the Eurofighter Typhoon). For domestic use, the F-35B STOVL jet…
It's worth mentioning that while electric turbopumps are a lot better that pressure-fed designs, for larger engines they aren't as effective as using pre-burners (due to the weight of the batteries). It does make the…
I think this article misses the point of Georgism: that the land tax replaces all other taxes. In other words, while land belongs to the government (people), individuals are entitled to the entire product of their labor…
Not having fast FP64 is a design decision. Space isn't free, and FP64 takes up a lot of space that could be used on delivering higher FP32 perf, which is more important for video games.
Well, he's not Gavin Newsom, so good luck if this is true!
What should the US do than? Spend our tax dollars on foreign handouts? If US companies want to invest in SE Asia there is nothing stopping them.
Google's hardware is for inference, not training.
815 mm^2 die size! That's at the reticle limit of TSMC, a truly absurd chip.
A bit suspicious right before the US election, maybe it's under attack. We'll find out soon enough.
Railroads in the US are privately owned, for the most part.
Cargo dragon doesn't have a pad abort system. Dragon 2 would be able to escape just fine, though. Cargo dragon could _technically_ survive if didn't get blown up too much.
I took the class (6.828) last semester at MIT, and the labs do a great job of handling a lot of the annoying x86 stuff so that you can focus on the more interesting parts of writing an OS. I know this because for the…
Also don't forget Japan's Akatsuki space probe which will will attempt to insert itself in orbit around Venus in November. It "missed" in 2010 due to an engine failure and had to wait 5 years for another attempt:…
Rinon, you are correct. The Supreme Court (perhaps foolishly) decided that private to private transfer of land is permissible under eminent domain. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelo_v._City_of_New_London
The only thing I found annoying was his pet peeve about "the internet being down". I might tell someone that to get the idea across. Of course, I could say that "I was unable to establish a TCP/IP connection with the…
It's disheartening that despite the continual stream of information pouring in about the NSA the average citizen remains comparatively indifferent and the media and most representatives seem to be supportive of the…

This is an example of a how to do a great OSS website: http://git-scm.com/ Granted, it is a bit easier to make a succinct website for something like Git rather than the entire Python project.

Just checked MtGox, Bitcoin is now trading at $46... it was around $35 this time yesterday. Things seem to be getting out of hand.
The price of Bitcoin is currently hovering around 37 USD. I remember when Bitcoin was $2.00 after the first crash, I never expected it to rebound so quickly. Announcements such as Namecheap's lend credence to the…
In my first game we were both confused about which snake we were and ended up hitting the wall at the same time.
