Apparently there are floodplain issues in the area which requires the wall to be built away from the border towards the interior of the US. As I understand it, SpaceX's property isn't on a floodplain but floodplains surround the facility. So to prevent excessive flooding/water build up the walls will have to built away from the border, further into US territory.
My question is, does this mean that with the wall, will the US will be giving land to Mexico? If I was to build a fence inside my property, after a number of years the land would become legally my neighbours - does this apply here? By putting in border fencing/walls/barriers inside US territory cede the land outside the fencing/walls/barriers to Mexico?
Can't find the link either - the latest article on Arianespace was either Friday or Monday and I did comment on it. There is http://aviationweek.com/space/... which was part of the discussion and I commented on that as well.
AvWeek has the world's worst website for a news organization. Amazing articles, shitty, slow website with content appearing and disappearing all the time.
I don't see Arianespace being allowed to continue with the current business model - they really need somebody new and aggressive to change the direction they're going in because unless they do, I can't see them being allowed to continue.
It would be a shame, but from what it sounds like in AvWeek, it's a real possibility that Ariane is going to be allowed to die out. The Ariane 6 looks like a non-starter with it's launch costs being 2x and more than that of SpaceX.
I think they really need some bold leadership there that is willing to look at different operational models if they're going to survive.
I know the engineers, scientists, mathematicians, chemists, aerodynamicists, material scientists, etc. involved in the various efforts to get into space would find your statement quite offensive.
Launching satellites *is* amazing - read up on the subject some time.
I know over the years, there have been some discussion on whether or not spaceflight should be big government funded (von Braun was a big proponent of this) or leave it to entrepreneurs/adventurers. While Paul Allen's Stratolaunch is somewhat in limbo now, it seems like in the US the trend is to go with entrepreneurs with SpaceX, Orbital and Blue Origin leading the way. Hopefully the SLS development effort will be retired, as will the Ariane 6 both being too costly compared to the commercial options meaning that the only big government launches will be from Russia and China.
I picked SpaceX, Orbital and Blue Origin because if you total their launch manifests for 2019, they'll have at least 30 - There will be multiple manned missions in there (by Blue Origin and SpaceX) and quite an array of different capabilities.
It's one thing for the second biggest economy in the world to have 30 launches but I think it's a lot more impressive that private capital will provide the same number of launches
The tools sound fascinating but rather than using them to discover bugs and propose fixes, shouldn't the data be used to figure out *why* the errors were made in the first place and come up with approaches, procedures & tools that avoid them in the first place?
A Null Pointer Exception is really a failure on the part of the programmer to keep track of their pointers, either they're not initializing them correctly or they are being inadvertently/incorrectly changed during execution. I would think that an analysis of the reason for the errors (ie using an unititialized pointer, setting a pointer to an invalid value either as an incorrect variable value or going outside the bounds of table) should be fairly easy to quantify and then put in procedural fixes that will lessen the probability that the error will be repeated.
Automating the detection process and suggesting fixes will not necessarily improve the quality of the code (unless the "fixes" are properly evaluated for not causing problems elsewhere in the execution of the application) but using the data to understand why the problems are being made and apply changes to eliminate the them from happening again in the future will.
I remember twenty/thirty plus years ago when researchers found aluminum ions in the brains of Alzheimer's sufferers and there was the suggestion that cooking without aluminum pots and pans would prevent Alzheimer's. It seems that the aluminum ions were a symptom of Alzheimer's and not a cause - but on the plus side it gave steel cookware a good boost.
If it's true that this bacteria causes Alzheimer's, then it's good news as it should be fairly easy to eradicate.
You're vastly oversimplifying Chrome Apps - our app (Jade Support https://chrome.google.com/webs...) is very full featured with Javascript based UI, WebAssembly Compilers and Bluetooth Communications. User data is from GDrive (and soon also to allow OneDrive) which uses up the bandwidth you're talking about.
But a lot of work is being done at the thin client level and it performs very well - especially when you compare it to Windows apps written in C++ doing the same function on a platform with the same processor, memory and storage.
Google got a lot right with Chromebooks and performance for apps (not just web pages) is one of them.
Personally, I am quite impressed by how Chromebooks operate (not so pleased with Google's treatment of user data) but not so much when you get the same (literally) hardware running Win10 - I compared an Acer Chromebook with Win10 machine with identical specs, processors, etc. They were the same machine except the covers are different colours.
There seems to be a lot of bloat that keeps the Windows Machines from running at what I would consider a decent speed which is why I asked the question to see if there are any plans on improving the performance of these machines.
For our business, I've had to test out low-end Win10 machines to work with our software. I've been generally surprised at how sluggish these laptops (2-4GB DDR and 32-64GByte SSD) come up as well as bring up and run applications. Will these computers offer better performance or do you really need a system with a 2+GHz clock and more than 5GB of DDR?
If a song is less than 29 minutes and 37 seconds (which takes up one and a third sides of a record) then it's not worth listening to. Or at the very least, coding to as I am now (although to be totally accurate, I'm waiting for a build to finish).
Nobody but political punditry pay attention to their results and then only when they support their political ideas, otherwise nobody looks at the results or takes them seriously.
That's not quite their purpose. Polls like the ones Mr. Cohen paid to manipulate allows Mr. Trump to stand up in front of his audience and say "I have an 87% approval rate on the highly respected, scientific *whatever* poll. Not only that, the equally comprehensive poll by *clickbait* says that 94% of you are saying I've got the country on the right course!" and it allows Fox News to say that "The biased CNN/NBC/WashingtonPost/NewYorkTimes polls don't match what we're seeing in terms of Mr. Trump's popularity with our own polls."
As seeing how the the Win10 laptops I've bought over the past couple of years have never given us any option other than to set the systems up or login with a Microsoft ID.
Maybe you can login without an MS ID if you load from a disk/over the Interwebs, but not from the prepackaged machines I've seen.
Incidentally, the Acer is now running Mint and the HP is now running Ubuntu. The Lenovo is my daughter's and her college just provides Visual Studio so we're stuck there.
Sorry, I've had nothing but trouble with Win10 and when I've put in bug reports they've been ignored. Cap that off with forcing me to login with a Microsoft ID and the various emails telling me how I can earn points.

You have to do this to protect against illegal aliens.

Nice one.

The Acer systems that I was testing were identical, 2GB DDR, 32GB SSD, Celerons.

There was a lot of people complaining about it but when things were all said and done it's a great program that's helpful for kids and their families.

Three Minutes, thirty seconds? Bah! Poseurs.

It's faked references to support a lie.

Thank you - I don't think it's of much help now but if I ever have to get a Win10 machine in the future.

Adios!
See AC reply - this very eloquently states my thoughts on Disney and their appeal through their own streaming service.
