alemhnan | 8 years ago | on: 1962 U.S. Military Ejects Bear from B-58 to Test Escape Capsule

It's bit controversial anyway cause another comment tells a different story altogether:

'''According to the government white paper on the subject all bears were destroyed shortly on return to base. All but the last three bears suffered serious internal injuries and multiple broken bones. 'Several hundred' bears were acquired for this purpose, all of which were destroyed 'in or after the testing process, by the testing process or by gun shot to the heart to preserve cranial damage from impacts'.'''

Some enterprise software, most of the patterns are well know and the customization point are well defined. I would describe more as a well know domain with clear constraints than trivial software. They generate a lot of code also for high critical real time software (avionics and space) but that is not really trivial.

I don't know the details so I couldn't say. I was surprised as well to be honest. I talked briefly with one of the owners, he did know quite in a deep way what he was talking about. A lot of emphasis for the process, using new technologies but without the 'madness' that we see usually in the Javascript world.

It is useful if you are able to generate code from it. I know one big software company (more than 3000 employee) that generate 90% of all it's code base (~20M lines of code).

My MBP has 16gb as well and no problem whatsoever with that. But it's a 5 years old model and when I bought I had only 4gb. So 4x in 5 years. By extension I would probably need at least 2x 16gb in 3-4 years but instead I will be stuck with 16gb.

The difference with NSA recording naked people is that we are recording also the police behaviour, so it's a two way factor.

Most likely the police is behaving 'better' and without stirring up the need to complain that much.

As often happens on internet, when anonymous you are a kind of different human being then when you have an identity attach to you.

Could Ethereum (or a similar concept) be the solution of this kind of problems?

alemhnan | 10 years ago | on: That self-appendectomy

Well, the first one is a mother that did a C-section on herself saving the baby and not dying in the process. Pretty remarkable if you ask me.
