Falcon9

Yeah, I noticed this after the fact. That one of them is listed as "unable to track" is still irrationally unnerving, if just a tad.

I was lazily mousing over satellites when I discovered that we had the audacity to launch these...

Seriously impressive interactive map, especially when you realize you can pause and click any "ship" for more information.

If this kind of thing had been available when I was in school, I may have had a whole different perspective on history.

Rather than a series of spots, it almost looks as though there's a dark streak across much of the equator, with a few vertical light colored stripes crossing it. Definitely curious what future images show.

-2 -4 -8 (is it increasing distance from zero?)

This is absolutely correct. Perhaps Hacker News culture is such that they realize such a warning can be overcome through a refresh, or possibly an incognito browser window if a cookie is preventing a second guess. Still though, within the rules of the game, there is no drawback of testing negative sequences, but there's a clearly defined drawback of entering an incorrect answer.

It makes sense to those of us who are using iTunes (especially iTunes Match). There are many of us. There are also many people who aren't using iTunes and they probably will stick with whatever is working for them now.

There have been a number of places letting people know to update iOS at 8AM PST for the 9AM launch of BeatsOne. Zane realizes that he's broadcasting exclusively to early adopters right now. As he said, "you've got to start sometime."

Jacobson's rebuttal is perhaps more fascinating than the Atlantic article, though I think the context of the article is necessary. Details such as: Johnson would coax two or three dealer errors per day in play, valued at +$200,000 per day; or that the Canadian mathematicians took some strange shortcuts in modelling or running simulations.

Diptic sells additional functionality, some of which I've happily paid for once I realized its value to me. It's been so long that I don't remember if the initial app was free or paid though.

Nice Halt and Catch Fire reference.

Why does it make any sense that these jobs with ridiculous numbers of qualified candidates would "get to be" the 1%, as opposed to those others you mention (iOS developer)?

Not asking you specifically, lordnacho. Just a question to the universe that's probably as useful as asking "why me?" whenever anything at all happens. Still though.
