How about the 3-way Cree bulbs that Amazon sells: http://smile.amazon.com/Cree-B...

Would that meet your requirements?

Eventually (when the tech is ready)I want my watch to be my phone so that in theory I can wear it alone

The future is NOW and it is less than fifty bucks!

The candelabra bulbs were made to (poorly) mimic the shape of candle flame, and now we are attempting to mimic that imitation because we have gotten used to the way it looks :)

In 1910 Sears. Roebuck was sold both (portable!) gas and electric lamps and chandeliers. Sears, Roebuck Home Builder's Catalog: The Complete Illustrated 1910 Edition

It has never been easy or cheap to change the way you illuminate your home. Think of the ways light affects how we perceive food and table sevice, skin tones, colors and textures in wall coverings, fabrics and so on.

yes, but that need to be plugged into amp with "inverse RIAA curve", ie base boost and treble cut to match vinyl's properties, and boosted from the hundredth of a volt to the 1 volt or more a PC or your TV might need to function

. . . or not.

Here's a $51 sale price (regular $80) Turntable at Bestbuy with built in speakers, a headphone jack, RCA out (line level not phono) and USB connection:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/je...

You can buy if from Amazon too:
http://www.amazon.com/Jensen-J...

I assume it's a mediocre player, with even crappier speakers, but you can buy it, put an LP on it, and play it through the built in speakers, without any scanning software, and without a specially inverse RIAA curve Preamp, or any other hardware.

Records have a bit of a resurgence as being hipster, as well as people still having lots of old records they want to listen to (or convert to PC)

Amazon has a few of these, and I'm sure other online retailers do. Just search for "LED Edison bulb".

Only for multi-packs of 800 lumen lamps: http://www.amazon.com/Cree-9-5... what if you need a 1600 lumen lamp?? Also off topic why does Chrome think lumen is a spelling error?

If the wise denizens of /. can tell me I just need to plug thing X into slot Y to get [1TB, like my Macbook], I'll send in my order.

Sure, plug one of these into one of these into one of the USB-C slots on the Chromebook.

And neither would the The Rutles. Although in the Rutles case, stealing could be deemed "fair use" in the form of paraody. Then again, what does "Piggy in the Middle" really have to do with "I am the Walrus?" (.tekram ot tnew yggip elttil sihT)

I do not use a watch anymore since I have a phone that tells me the time.

I eventually got a regular watch when I realized that every time I reached to my phone in my pocket to check the time was one more time I'd probably drop the phone. The watch SAVES me money over time. Also: visibly checking your phone when you're with someone usually tells them you're bored, while a quick glance at a watch isn't as bad. Finally: when you check a watch, you're done right away, while checking your phone for the time can often lead to an endless cycle of checking email, text messages, Facebook, whatever; you can lose a lot of time that way.

I was debating getting the F-91W, just for the nostalgia of it (and the Amazon reviews are pretty funny), but ended up finding the MQ-24-1(Black) and MQ24-1E instead. They look decent as well, and take a beating.

It doesn't even take a CNC machine shop. Or even a lathe, for this matter. Here is a book describing manufacturing a fully automatic 9x19mm submachine gun at home from readily available parts such as steel tubing (apparently, you can actually find the right tubes to work even as a barrel - obviously it's not rifled, but close up it doesn't matter all that much), and with tools such as metal saw and file.

> Oh? Have you factored in the cost of ensuring that you always have an offsite and fully up to date copy, not to mention secondary and tertiary copies for transit time in case your primary datacenter/server happens to kick the bucket/get stolen/evaporate?

Assumption: They guarantee that your backups/archives are safe.
Reality: "You are responsible for properly configuring and using the Service Offerings and taking your own steps to maintain appropriate security, protection and backup of Your Content, " Notice the words "and backup". If they lose your data it's your problem, not theirs. http://aws.amazon.com/agreemen...

> It's easy to compare the cost of an offered service to what you can pick up seeming similar equipment for from Amazon or Newegg... the realities though are far more complex.

Not to those who are 'skilled in the art'. For example. a copy of CrashPlan, two 3TB drives locally, one 3TB drive at a parent/friends house. For the paranoid, two 3TB drives at two peoples houses. Assumption: network bandwidth is sufficient and/or not much data change rate and/or happy to shuttle drives backward and forward.

Or, if you don't want to use crashplan, use rsync or other such replication technique. Set up md5sum scanning to run every few weeks at each location, takes a day or so to run and you're 100% certain that bitrot hasn't set in.

Advantages:
* I can touch each physical box.
* It's massively cheaper.
* Recovery is much quicker since I can just grab the physical copy.
* I know how the backup infrastructure is designed. If something goes wrong it's my fault, I can't rail uselessly against the sky gods if suddenly all my data goes away.

Disadvantages:
* You have to maintain it. You can't trust the sky gods to maintain it for you - a drive fails, you have to buy&replace. Forget to configure something/validate something is done correctly then it's your own fault.

Now, if I was Motorola or Samsung? Yea, I'd be worried.

Yeah, because the Samsung smartwatch has literally rocked the world. Seems to have dropped off the radar after it's initial hype, which was mainly about how they beat Apple to the punch. Now days, no one gives a shit about the samsung smart watch. And Motorola? They don't even matter anymore. And speaking of Timex. Compared side by side, that Samsung looks more like the cheap ass Timex as far as "smart watches" go. http://www.amazon.com/gp/produ... http://cdn.macrumors.com/artic...

However, that means someone's gotta put up some money for a earth transfer stage and a lunar lander. There off with a start on the commercial lander but first need to make it work, and will there be enough funding (wherever it may come from) to scale it up to industrial size? I wonder what Dennis Wingo http://www.amazon.com/Moonrush... has to say about this?

Unlike NASA, Musk, and Mars One use Mars as a goal. They romanticize about Mars because it's so far away (we'll put someone to Mars in 20 years and been saying that for past 50 years) and can put off building hardware for some poor smucks in the far future to get stuck with this task.

Hope this is not a Glomar Explorer repeat. And please no He3 talk (see Rei's above comment about lunar He-3 mining is pretty useless).

So, here is the question: what do they have, right now, that we don't know about?

What do you mean? The known unknowns or the unknown unknowns?

I used to think I knew what I didn't know, now I don't know...
I now know I need a lot more foil!

Where would a guy like me start? What can I do, as far as personal development, to give me a shot at building this "new department" within my company? Am I beyond hope?

Learn to program, learn to hack. There are resources available for both. It will take years and it's hard work, but without that, you'll just be another consultant following a script.

If you're not willing to take time and work hard, then yes, you are beyond hope for reaching this goal. Your best option in that case is to continue your current career path and just enjoy what you can of life.

...but will you even be able to buy a replacement battery for it in 100 years? I doubt you can get a replacement battery for a 20 year old laptop now.

Actually, you can.

And by 100 years, you'll be able to retrofit a cold fusion battery replacement into that laptop or Apple Watch.

I see lots of responses from folks attacking the flippant parts of Linus's comments like they were deciding factors. This tells me that you're not getting it. Maybe you've never used C++ for significant projects, or really only relied on the C-like portions of C++ and eschewed the other stuff.

The fact is, he barely even touched upon the real problems with C++, only mocked and ridiculed people who favor it. This wasn't an argument, this was just an insult.

However, if you want reasons, you can get them from one of the best sources possible. Find or purchase a copy of Effective C++ and More Effective C++ and while you're reading them, keep track of all the 'gotchas' that will tank your programs. From accidentally instantiating a dozen copies of an object to double-freeing it, you should swiftly realize that most of the code you wrote was a time bomb, hidden away in a layer or two of abstraction. That 98% of the code you've ever seen that's larger than a handful of classes is like this.

If that's not enough for you, look up the various ISO/IEC standards, and look for all the parts that are explicitly aimed at reducing ambiguity. From the start, C++ has undefined behaviors built right in, leaving it to the compiler to determine how syntactically correct code will perform. They're still trying to fix them; I hear c++17 is on the horizon, but in 2007, it was just a field of landmines if you started using the advanced features like templating or multiple inheritance.

The short version is that it was not a very good language. In the race to produce "C with classes," delivery was prioritized over quality, new features rather than stability, and the standards committee, partly in an attempt to maintain backwards compatibility, has produced a fair mess with overly complex syntax.

I've written a lot of c++ code, and I can't believe anyone who also has would prefer it to C, or something newer like Java, C#, or even scripting languages. I really have to assume that if you really vehemently stick to it, you're either a C++ guru with a few books and a decade of conference presentations, or you're a novice who hasn't done enough to understand the limitations.

In 1998 David Gelernter wrote a book that effectively argues that elegance and beauty in engineering are essential features that lead to benefits beyond the merely aesthetic.

He is still right.

The 'elegant' and 'concrete' example in TFA is ugly and hard to follow, even with plenty of understanding of lambda expressions and languages that offer them. I have other, better high level language options and other, better low level language options. C++ fails the test. C++ is not for me.

Yet another reason to push shared providers for ECC memory. The error correcting memory is so far not vulnerable to this attack, all the researchers that have tried it report that ECC memory identifies and corrects the corruptions. Of course some attackers may have found a way, but ECC minimizes the risk

Amazon says it uses ECC in their AWS machines, but other big hosts like Equinix say that ECC memory is "available". Be careful about your hosting, folks.

You need to get informed.

Page 21 "At the same time, the capacity to assert social and political control over the individual will vastly increase. As I have already noted, it will soon be possible to assert almost continuous surveillance over every citizen and to maintain up-to-date, complete files, containing even most personal information about the health or personal behaviour of the citizen, in addition to more customary data. These files will be subject to instantaneous retrieval by the authorities."
"Moreover, the rapid pace of change will put a premium on anticipating events and planning for them. Power will gravitate into the hands of those who control the information, and can correlate it most rapidly."

... and most people are going to find out too late what the NSA spying is really about.

Most have no clue what's really going on in the world... the elites are afraid of political awakening (aka global revolt). i.e. they fear you stopping voting for politicians and causing social and political change because the democratic system is a sham.

This (mass surveillance) by the NSA and abuse by law enforcement is just more part and parcel of state suppression of dissent against corporate interests. They're worried that the more people are going to wake up and corporate centers like the US and canada may be among those who also awaken.

A game for adults http://www.sharedwisdom.com/ar...
http://www.amazon.com/The-Mast...

Kids aren't likely to get stuck in a bad pattern just because that was the first thing they learnt, they are pretty flexible when it comes to acquiring new concepts.

Maybe. Certainly your kids won't enter the ranks of cut-and-paste programmers, totally dependent on stack-overflow.

Anyway, to start with I believe it's important that the kids learn the most basic of concepts (linear execution of simple statements, then maybe some control structures), and then hopefully they'll ask the question: "what if I want to change this so it does B instead of A?". At the point when they ask "how do trip planners find the fastest route between two arbitrary points" I'll start introducing them to Dijkstra and his magic :)

You're missing the crucial point Dijkstra was trying to teach, it has nothing to do with shortest path, it has to do with a way of looking at programming. Here's the textbook he used. It was about having a completely different mindset when you approach the computer, as compared to BASIC programmers.

Visit Amazon - I just read this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

It appears that all of these stories are translated into English: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb...

Note that there are two names on each book - Liu's name, the author, and various other names, the translators.

His largest and arguably most popular/well-known (especially outside of China) book series is getting proper English translations and sold in Western markets. You can purchase the first book of the series, _Three Body Problem_, from Amazon right now. Book two is due to be released in July.

A number of his short stories are also available in Kindle format from Amazon, but do not appear to have physical book translations available.

This is the book for you.

I think I owe everything to this book:

"Step away from the crazy person..."

You aren't seeing the world how the leaders are seeing it behind the scenes. Most have no clue what's really going on in the world... the elites are afraid of political awakening (aka global revolt). i.e. they fear you stopping voting for politicians and causing social and political change because the democratic system is a sham.

This (mass surveillance) by the NSA and abuse by law enforcement is just more part and parcel of state suppression of dissent against corporate interests. They're worried that the more people are going to wake up and corporate centers like the US and canada may be among those who also awaken. See this vid with Zbigniew Brzezinski, former United States National Security Advisor.

I'm curious myself about Curiosity, any way to get the hardware schematics for this thing? Like the real thing, not just a block diagram. How does it detect a short circuit? Just too much current sensed on this power rail = short? Or is there something more being done to analyze the kind of fault?

... people don't make "free choices" to begin with, the universe works on the laws of nature. The only way to safeguard our privacy would have to have been to build it in at its foundations early in history when it was being invented but that didn't happen because the people who invented it didn't really think about it too much because of computational and other limits of the technology of the time. The freedom and open-ness that gave us the internet ended up being its achilles heel.

Just look at early things like Gopher and email, all plaintext and early HTML as well. That was pretty much just asking to be spied on and let's remember, most of the internet is in plaintext so its trivial to see what they are doing.

All systems can be hacked given infinite resources and time, and given the political climate, Schneier would do well to see what science has discovered about reasoing. Reason doesn't work the way we thought it does, your sense of reality is controlled by emotion not truth:

"Considering how frequently, blatantly, and deliberately the US government has lied..."

The U.S. government is EXTREMELY corrupt in many areas, not just in this situation. A few areas of corruption:

Finance: in 2008, banks were allowed to steal from taxpayers. Bank managers were rewarded with extremely high pay: The Divide. "New York Times bestseller -- Named one of the best books of the year by the Washington Post, NPR, and Kirkus Reviews".

Health care: The new health care system will further bankrupt the country. The ACA, Affordable Care Act, is NOT affordable. The ACA benefits everyone but the citizens. #1 Best Seller: America's Bitter Pill: Money, Politics, Back-Room Deals, and the Fight to Fix Our Broken Healthcare System.

Prison system: The U.S. has the largest percentage of its citizens in prison, of any country, in any century. The prison system is hugely profitable for prison corporations. ACLU: With only 5% of the world's population, the U.S. has 25% of the world's prison population. ThinkProgress: The United States Has The Largest Prison Population In The World -- And It's Growing.

Violence: The U.S. government has killed, or caused the death of, an estimated 11,000,000 people since the end of the 2nd world war. War is extremely profitable for some corporations: House of Bush, House of Saud by Craig Unger. Bush and Cheney started a war that was profitable for them.
