That will be huge if true. Gravity wave will tell us many things about the very early universe(first few 100,1000s of years!), for which we have very little data now. Its an amazing achievement for LIGO just after 10 days of its start.


I had used it once. But the speed it gave to me is too slow. I could not even open a basic site without waiting for 10-15 seconds. Had I done something wrong or is this speed same to you?


It can be very slow because of the nature of the communication method. :(


There is a link of DB attached(https://mega.nz/#!WBg1zAIA!dg0g2Q0kDm1q6r1WBMPe0-nrP3wxvokeF...). Can anyone verify weather the images actually point to "The Monopoly Man" or is a test image.


How can they hide the bug in an open source project after fixing it. Isn't commit public?


What is the benefit of having time period larger than geosynchronous satellite? I see quite some satellite like that, e.g. OPS 6638 which has a time period of 6,701.8 minutes. I can think of no benefit of it, and on the downside it will require stronger rocket and provide low visibility.


There are some reasons for science spacecraft to be in high orbits but most of what you see is decommissioned comsats in graveyard orbits, which are supersynchronous. This is because such orbits have the least chance of decaying or of colliding with other satellites and creating a debris problem.



hey, where'd you get that?


Why do browser people always forget about favicons? Most browser saved favicon on private browsing and then this.


...and used favicons for the bookmarks.


Mind telling me why that is an issue?

My bookmark bar is entirely favicons. I remove the name and this allows me to fit more in quick-access without having to delve into folders.


Same here. Sadly Safari does not use fav icons in the bookmark bar, so all of mine are emoji.

Unfortunately, you run out of sensible emoji very quickly, so my brokerage ends up 🎲, Github ends up 🐱, and Hacker News ends up ⌛️.


Because Microsoft.


If we now use 20% energy of battery as batteriser claims, how can it extend the life of battery by 800%.


What percentage of the requests is handled by CDN?


I believe that only CNAMEs use the CDN for custom domains (naked domains do not) [0]. So that rules out a chunk but there will be lots of cache misses too. Maybe someone from GH can confirm.

[0] https://help.github.com/articles/about-custom-domains-for-gi...


github.io will still also hit the CDN. It's just custom naked domains that will miss.


Their docs mention ever 200 response code request is cached, so I'd say a majority of the requests?


Why hasn't Mt. Gox disclosed what they know about the attack?


Reportedly because the police is still investigating the case and publicizing everything could harm the (slim) chances of finding the criminals.
