Agreed!

This would be even better if it were a real terminal command-line app for OS X (and installable via brew) and Linux (and installable via apt).

Nice page, Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the layout, which is strange.

Why buy it? Looks like their customer base is heading for something close to 0 within a few years.

I had an Android phone. I hated the user experience. So, I got an iPhone. I now love my phone.

I'm an American, but that doesn't really play into it. I consider Google an American company also.

> "I'm a little biased, but I think the taxpayers saw very good value from this mission,"

I'd say that was biased. I personally would have rather $267 million be spent on something more permanent and practical. How about spending it on our Earth-based telecopes?

Not that I've seen. They went from the "the Columbine kids played Doom which is why they killed those people" more recently to "Guns kill people; We must get rid of guns", but even that is no longer in the news. The latest in the news is that conservatives want to shutdown the government and make poor people die without health care. But nothing about games.

If they want bad publicity to help sell it, they'll need to have something like beastiality with a donkey hidden deep in the game somewhere.

While I agree with some of what you are saying and I don't join in hipster hate, I think this is the main thing:

Any self-righteous style that tries to come off as cool and aloof that seem ridiculous to others is going to be made fun of. It doesn't matter what it is. Portlandia makes fun of hipsters. Zoolander made fun of high fashion.

Be yourself first and foremost: type on an old typewriter in the park, wear RPGs even though you were never formerly in the military, drink double Doppios from non-chain coffee shops, and break up with a girl because she said PETA stood for People Eating Tasty Animals. But being made fun of comes with that game.

Not every one.

I had a unitarihedron hanging from my rearview mirror in high school. It was pretty awesome.

> All it would take is for one major player to take a view on what was going to happen without hearing the fed data in an attempt to beat the market.

But why would they wait then? "Guessing" or working with known public information is perfectly legal. They should act upon that data immediately. A leak is much more likely, as they would be afraid of an investigation when they "guessed right". They were almost certainly trying to trade as if there were no leak, but they forgot to add the slight delay.

I wouldn't rule that out. Why wouldn't it make a great undersea battery?

Also, if we found Apollo 13 we could recover some Pu238:

Heck, there's Google (https://www.google.com/maps/views/streetview/oceans?gl=us&hl...), Virgin Oceanic (http://www.virginoceanic.com/), etc. exploring down there. Nothing wrong with a little deep sea action- even the military contribute.

It's much cheaper to explore the ocean than it is to explore space, and many benefits like: OTEC (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_thermal_energy_conversion http://cleantechnica.com/2013/05/05/lockheed-martin-to-build...), mining ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_sea_mining), etc.

Others agree:

http://www.cnn.com/2012/04/09/opinion/etzioni-space-oceans/i...

But, I personally think we should be exploring space and our oceans. We need to make it a top priority of all countries to fund energy and propulsion research to help make exploration cheaper. That means allocating adequate budget and raising taxes for something that the mass media and our government doesn't seem to give much of a shit about, because they don't understand the part of the world we currently are utilizing is running out of resources quickly and that we are constantly a stone's throw from mass extinction.

Hit-and-run by idiotic speeder.

One of the things I read about high speed city to city travel is related to commuting, not just business travel. But yes, I was changing the subject to public transportation, which I think is a serious problem in the U.S.

Yes, and someone locally just got in a terrible accident on a scooter. Brain damaged for life and lucky he didn't die.

I can't believe I got downvoted for that. I'm just stating facts about public transportation, regardless of type.

Lua is mostly just people using wtf in a l10n var (SoundWTF) or as a variable or something trying to be funny:

> more about project cost

And freedom. If you commute with a hyperloop, can you stop by the grocery store on the way home? Not easily.

But beyond cost and freedom, there is practicality. For a while I wanted to take the bus to work, but it would take 4 hours to get there (including 10 miles walking) and only 30-40 minutes in a car. They would provide a bus to make it only 30-40 minutes if there were enough people like me to take the bus, but how do they know? They never asked.

Here are the directions the government-sponsored online tool gave me for how to commute to work (miles rounded up):

03:04AM - start walk 8 miles from home address, 05:59AM - arrive at bus stop, 06:01AM - start first leg of bus trip, 06:15AM - stop first leg of bus trip, 06:17AM - start second leg of bus trip, 06:38AM - stop first leg of bus trip, 06:38AM - start walk 2 miles from stop, 07:09AM - arrive at work

I could do that if I had a collapsible bike and could shower and change at work, but I can't (and won't).

We have two problems:

1. Forced activities (sports, music, dance, etc.) and having to drive and fly all over with kids for these activities. These activities do not let kids imagine or have long amounts of free-play, though the arts aren't terrible in that regard, and they do foster relationships which might help your kids make friends to go play and have free time. So it is a trade off.

2. Too much homework. When homework is 3-4 hours a night in elementary school, something is wrong. If you are a strict homeschooler that has the kids working 24/7 or have kids in a private school where they spend 3 hours doing homework too often, talk to the teachers, and if that doesn't help, consider public school.

To provide the other side of that coin, I also think that some of what Fox News, the Tea Party, etc. push is bologna.

Consider the conservative view that we need to secure our border because illegal immigrants take jobs away from Americans.

Jobs aren't taken, they are given. Those jobs are not specifically given to illegals. You could have one, too. If they can live off of those jobs and send money home to their folks, it should be enough to live on. Maybe not enough to send your kids to college, but that isn't a guaranteed right.

Higher taxes and loopholes lead to U.S. companies hiring offshore workers, but that isn't the same for immigrants. We need more of them, like we had in the 1800-1900s, to boost our economy. I have never known a lazy, undedicated person to sneak over the border and work summers to send money home to their families. Those families should instead be in the U.S. and not in Mexico, etc. Then not only would the U.S. have a great labor force, but they would be spending that money on food and goods in the U.S.

Getting a little too meta here but your original comment was only: "If you actually want to have a discussion of those differences then you're going to need to point them out yourself instead of dumping a homework assignment in everyone's lap" but then you changed it to indicate you didn't think a Google translation was good enough.

He probably didn't post a translation because he knows most of us can either use Google translate or can read Chinese. That doesn't bother me and it shouldn't bother you.

I posted the translation because I think some people (including myself) need help reading Chinese and because I don't see value in bitching about someone copying and pasting Chinese. It's not homework. It's just Chinese.

I'd say most news media and many T.V. shows reinforce ideas that oppose accepting that there is an alternative viewpoint. Are you sure you haven't been brainwashed to hate Fox News and anything that shows a flag and an eagle with patriotic music in the background?

Let's try this on for size:

Is Fox News racist, elitist, sexist, and homophobic? My guess is that you just answered yes to at least 3 of those, however if I asked you for specific proof, you'd have a hard time making your argument in short order. Why is that? Perhaps because you didn't make up your mind for yourself. Someone else made it up for you.

Sure you can go Google and find whatever evidence you want to support those 4 viewpoints, but I'm 100% positive you didn't have evidence for all of the things you thought when I first asked the question.

I notice the original comment was amended to say Google Translate needs work (obviously), but I think it adds value, so here's a full comparison:

It's amazing how easily one can translate something these days instead of complain about having to read Chinese (http://translate.google.com/):

People [edit] The People's Republic of China since the founding of the ruling Communist Party of China, early through art, propaganda's "no new China without the Communist Party," "stability overrides everything" and other slogans, considered by some to be "brainwashed" behavior. Chinese Communist Party controls the media, civil society without freedom of opinion, but also through education, partial rendering methods such as modern history "positive ideological propaganda" has also been considered to be brainwashed behavior. Some have commented that the PRC during the Cultural Revolution massive and continuous education communist propaganda campaign, obviously brainwashing behavior; when opponents of the CPC will be treated as people designated as "class enemies," these people forcibly impose "Labour transformation "(labor camps)," thought reform ", power and violence, so that the whole community lost almost everyone free will to think independently. [12]

People's Republic of China Central Television, the official television media, is accused of playing the part of the existence of "brainwashing" refers to a Chinese young scholars CCTV braids play through indoctrination autocracy, to create personality I was poisoned the atmosphere of freedom and democracy to China, there brainwashing significance, and CCTV "News Network" selective "glossy", such as "propaganda network." [13] [14] However, the Chinese Communist Party and its supporters do not agree with these criticisms.

English "brainwash" means "brainwashed" by the Chinese "brainwashing" translated from the word; in the late 1950s along the Korean War, American soldiers were captured after the People's Liberation Army, day and night to accept the idea of ​​transformation of the Chinese Communist Party, were rescued after back to the U.S., even speak good words to help the Chinese Communist Party, then the U.S. correspondent Edward Hunter to use the term to describe the matter brainwash.

The problem with surfing sites like HN, S.O. is that it is engaging. On one hand, if you can use the creative side of your brain, supposedly this will help you with other problems, but on the much worse side of things, you get pulled into another activity for a long time, and you never gave your mind a break.

Taking a short walk is great because it doesn't take much of your brain to walk, so you can collect your thoughts. As one person on HN said some months ago, he used to have to take longer walks but now even a 5 minute walk is enough to clear his head.

The worst part about this for me is that it is a small office of non-developers with a serious work ethic, so any time I step out during the day, I feel like they are looking at me like I think I'm an elitist doing whatever I want. So, I try to limit walks to times where I'm really frustrated.

I wish that Atlassian would buy rights to Upsource so they could use it in Stash.

I agree. I think whoever is ok'ing things like the UI changes made in the past months and whoever approved this diff really is not doing what the majority of users are looking for. I think GH provides a great service, but something is wrong.
