Interesting, and a bit scary, wouldn't you say? Not with Duo necessarily, but I've always been wary of someone else having physical control over my data.
Skin and blood... are you Dexter?
I've been working on this in my spare time for a while now. I built it to scratch an itch I was having with keeping track of things I'd come across online.
I wanted something that could; track links in one click, give me visual references of all the stuff I had collected, archive the page as it was when I viewed it and give me ranked full text search across all my stuff. It's pretty beta at the moment so I'm very open to constructive feedback.
(update: it's amusing how I switched from lemmings to ants in the below without noticing, because I remember this problem told about ants. Won't change it now).

Well, you're almost right. The point of this problem is that many people find it quite difficult because they think an ant may "survive" for quite a while on the ledge, getting reflected by other ants. So maybe it starts near the middle, gets reflected soon, then gets reflected again, and who knows how much time it can survive by reflecting off other ants which it directs to the edge during these reflections.

Your solution doesn't address this because it only looks at two ants and doesn't explain why couldn't many more other ants make it possible for one ant to survive longer. But actually your solution does contain the crucial insight to solving the puzzle, which is

SPOILER SPACE

to notice that the reflection doesn't actually do anything. When two ants collide and reflect, we can pretend that they just walked past each other - the movements will be the same and the identities of ants don't matter. If we look at it that way, after 1 minute all ants are off the ledge trivially, as they just keep walking in the same direction. The reason this problem is interesting is that it looks tough before this one insight, and completely trivial afterwards. So the collision rule does add nothing, but not everybody can see that, and that's kinda the point of this puzzle.
> Internal corporate politics don't contradict the ideas of free markets.

They don't, however they contradict the libertarian vulgate: planning and dirigism aren't necessarily and always wrong.
You're welcome. Great idea by the way. I could see myself using it after watching your intro video.
The other countermeasure is windows angled downward so that the laser would have to be on the premises to get a direct bounce. Not viable for most homes, though.
Thank you for your insight and suggestions! This example is really a toy implementation to show what the Cx language looks like, so it is not really suited for a robust hardware core. With this example I put the emphasis on how easy it is to understand what the Cx code does, and UART is a good use case because it is small enough.
This is a highly unscientific sampling, but most deep-tech blogs I follow seem to be on gh-pages these days. Medium, less so - I get mostly essays from those.

Jekyll gives you a lot of bang for the buck (including making static assets relatively easy to deploy) and Github provides syntax highlighting in their hosted service.

The drawbacks (as far as I'm concerned) are that Jekyll is overly temperamental, and that even "modern" site generators like Hugo (http://gohugo.io) require switching off too many defaults or tweaking many knobs.

Besides, even if you _now_ feel ease of editing is less important, a couple of years down the line it will be paramount.

I've long felt the need for something "better" myself, and run my site off a Dropbox-synced folder using a custom engine (which I'm currently re-writing - see demo site at http://sushy.no-bolso.com).

But I'm OK with reinventing my bit of the wheel (it's been nearly 13 years now, so I know what I want from a CMS).
That’s a private deal that Stallman made with CCC. You are not a party to that deal – i.e. you did not agree to it, therefore you are not bound by it.
Consider that one of the challenges to early Photoshop was be doing graphics manipulation that is right at the edge of what the hardware at the time is capable of, I don't think that stuffing a relational database engine between the raw bits and the drive would be helpful.

The challenge needs to add the condition of the app stretching the hardware capabilities so hard that a whole pile of not-so-clean optimization tricks are necessary to get the performance up to the acceptable level.
Well that's interesting. This may shed light on some of the seemingly conflicting results. On Mac OS X 10.10.1, Chrome 41.0.2264.2 (Canary):

Steps:

1. Open browser, open [1] in new tab. Get code X.

2. Open [1] in new incognito window. Get code Y.

3. Reload that incognito window. Get code Y.

4. Close incognito window.

5. Open [1] in second new incognito window. Get code X.

Subsequent iterations of opening/closing regular and incognito windows and/or restarting Chrome all yielded code X.

Does this support hierarchies? Ex. a table with material path.
thanks for this amazing post site
It appears so:

"As a result, the aircraft departed with a takeoff weight 1,244 kg more than stated on the load sheet."

If 50 women weigh 94 kg instead of the assumed 69 kg, that difference is also reached.

I'm surprised that the 737 has such a low error tolerance.
From the article, checking in as "miss" was entirely appropriate. That's not where the mistake was made.

The mistake was how their software reasoned poorly about passengers with "miss" as their honorific.

So it's more appropriate to say that checking in as "miss" was what exposed the problem, not that it was the root cause.
I believe that clients are available for most native MobileMe platforms as well.

Ms. is actually the title that was promoted as a less-sexist alternative to Miss/Mrs. which, like Mr., does not depend on marital status.

Miss is the one specific to unmarried women.
Fantastic news - a great achievement.
The problem wasn't "female" checking in as "Miss" but "Miss" attributes being mapped to "kid" attributes
Simple data design flaw, or the absence of such. "Ms", "Miss", etc is only a title and that's about it. Want a flag child/adult, well, add it then. Or better yet, use age to determine average weight even more accurately.

Edit: It usually means a disaster when people try to read "between the lines". One favourite example is trying to infer purpose/role of the server based on its hostname. When hostname starts with "X" it means only one thing - the first character of the hostname is "X", no more, no less.
It's interesting how quality has changed over the years for children videos.

This is what I watched when I was growing up (it came out in the late 70s, so it was already around for a while by then though): Schoolhouse Rock, Interplanet Janet [0].
This is really how I knew the planets growing up. "Mars is red, and Jupiter's big, and saturn shows off its riiiiings, uranus is built on a funny tilt, and neptune is its twiiin, and pluto little pluto is the furthest planet from the suuuun, whoo hoooo"

When my brother was growing up (around 2001, so I was 11 at that point), they had this song [1]. Kind of jazzy and relaxing. It went over the planets a few times in the verses, slowly taking the time to walk the children through it, and the way Nick Jr worked back in the day, the same episode would be on 3-4 times in a row every day, so the kid could really take it in. I could recite it from my head to this day.

A couple years later (2005) you start getting songs like this [2], I'm glad I didn't have to rely on this for memorizing the planets? Still, it's only a minute long, I think this is when kids started to hit lower attention spans.

I was trying to see what kids have these days. Since I'm basically seeing children as early as 5-6 months given an iphone/ipad to watch youtube, I figured I'd start there.... 99% of children's programming online is really crappy garbage shovelled out for dirt cheap with usually disturbing imagery subliminally thrown in. For example, this video [3] (I couldn't get through all three minutes, it was too monotone, repetitive, and the mouths on still frame were buttholes)

Jumping away from YouTube (originated content), I did find a shorter video by "Netflix Jr." [4]. It came recommended by reddit parents. Fastpaced rapping, jumping around, but not badly animated but I do wonder if children would grasp all of the concepts from it.

Trying to find the latest one that came out, was this [5] that wasn't hard for me to get through like the second-to-the last one (and hey it mentioned pluto lol)

Source? This is ongoing research but the hypothesis is that vaccinated people spread the same rate as asymptonic COVID-19 carriers.

For example: https://globalnews-ca.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/globalnews.ca/n...
It's a virus. Mutation to avoid detection is par the course.

Essentially, each replication means mutation, and over time, variants emerge. Think of why you need a seasonal flu vaccine and not one flu vaccine.
Oh definitely. We have a whole morning snuggle routine where I tell her different ways each day how I love her before we get out of bed.
Do you forget that the American president used to make all important announcements via official means? Has the Obama administration been lost to history?
Even if it's unknown, my advice is still the correct advice, and this is what is recommended by medical professionals. Wear a mask after you got the vaccine.
We have different definition of coup then. Coup for me utilizes the military to seize key assets. This was a crowd destroying things like the BLM/ANTIFA crowd.

We are in for some dark times ahead.
> So as we soon as we pass law making it a protected class, that argument will be null and void, correct?

For business discrimination in general, maybe.

For specifically constraining the expressive freedom of media (including social media) businesses, quite plausibly not, because a statute designating a protected class can't negate other people’s First Amendment rights, since the Constitution is superior to statute law.
Multiple folks on Twitter hinted at inaccuracies in Dan Rose’s recollection of events at Amazon. In fact, when you mentioned Paul Davis, I realized I was looking through the comments to see him [1] point out these inaccuracies since he is known to hang out here on HN.

Turns out being associated with a failed coup is bad for your brand. Lessons to live by.
Is my conclusion wrong? Best to err on the side of caution -- wear a mask, even if you got the vaccine. Period.
Most of the Plus additions are reasonable as a separate commercial offering.

What concerns me most is that "on-the-fly reconfiguration" and "advanced load balancing" [1] has been introduced as Plus. It feels like they freeze an existing feature for OSS offering and all the improvements on these primary product features will be commercial.

It's a bit unfair to call it a skin on top of Bing etc... DDG isn't another HotBot.

There's quite a bit more happening in the background : https://dukgo.com
Many startups are C corporations which typically do not have a sole "owner" i.e. I'm an owner of BackType, I'm also an owner of Google if I buy their stock, etc.

Essentially, it's up to the immigration offer to decide whether a certain level of equity disqualifies you from receiving TN status. Much more scrutiny is applied to the actual proposed employment, your responsibilities, whether these fit in the TN status categories, etc.

The TN is obviously not intended for self employment, but that becomes subjective once you've grown beyond a company of size one.
Noooooo! I can already imagine the pain writing HTML5 in 2014: "Well, IE9 is too slow to do common thing X reliably, so let's trigger the SunspiderTest optimizations using this hack..."

It's like finding out that IE9 only performs well on the subset of JS needed when you are drawing a fishtank..
In case you don't have IE9 installed, the benchmark results (quoted in the previous blog post) are:

cordic: 1ms +/- 0.0%
cordic-with-return: 22.6ms +/- 2.7%
cordic-with-true: 22.5ms +/- 2.7%

(Taken from http://blog.mozilla.com/rob-sayre/2010/09/09/js-benchmarks-c... )
Lots of people have them. It's just that Steve's is particularly strong and the transition from RDF to reality is particularly jarring.
It's just sad for competition. Competition for the least censored results (ha) and competition for ad dollars, search quality.

This said, I think an important difference that doesn't come out when a lot of coverage goes down about China / Google / Baidu is the way in which Google gets used in China. It's more complex than just "some people use Google, some use Baidu." For example, who uses which, and why? An interesting question...!
I was expecting it to be filled with red, not just have a very thin red border.
This is a big problem, yes. The momentum that you build up. I say it's like getting on a train. You can always get off later, it just gets harder and harder, and you are less and less able to leave for riskier or less immediately lucrative things.

For instance, I am probably trading away the chance to go spend a year doing more intensive language study in China if I take such an offer.

One reason to try to do _something_ is that, as of right now, I really don't have much runway to actually start something. I guess I could try to put together some brilliant MVP in time for S'11 YC, but... :)

I don't think prior restraint of domestic publication has been part of ICE's charter for a long time.
Please don’t watch entertainment (Netflix documentary) as a substitute for a book and think they are equivalent.
There are a few links to applications on this Quora thread: http://www.quora.com/Where-can-I-find-some-sample-YCombinato...

I'll see if I can dig up a few more.

The Dropbox one is a fine example though and you'd still be served well by it even though it was originally submitted years ago.
Agreed. I've only seen one in my life, but it was a fully amazing experience.
instant check

First of all, it's limited to only .com's. That seems silly. I think I'm in the fairly normal group of people who would want to check at least org and net too, if not io, pl, and all the other random strange domains. The instant check service does not seem unique and seems more limited than even the most basic domain checker.

name spinner

This idea is boring. Given a name already either prepend or append a word that falls into a given "group" and check for it's availability in a single TLD. This time that TLD is at least selectable.

expired domain search

Given a few words locate domains for which that is a substring of if they have recently expired or are in pending delete. I don't see how this is particularly useful, you're finding domains that may or may not be able to be bought in the near future (registrars can still take back a domain that is in pendingDelete status for a few to ICANN).

From my perspective this is fun from a "hey, I wonder what people use this substring and don't pay their bill" game, but not really for finding a domain name unless I happen to be inspired by one of the domains and check under a different TLD.

Overall

I think the approach that is being taken here is not original and has been done hundreds of times. I have a hard time naming things and have looked repeatedly for a "Name this thing for me!" service. This is another disappointment.

I do think that this is a problem domain that has yet to be solved and that a good solution would make a decent company. I don't think this service at this point comes close to even beginning to solve the problem.
Node can serve static assets just as well as any other web server.
Human beings deserve uncrippled tools, so I consider Apple's iOS appliances to be unworthy of us. But their customers are at least willingly buying into that dystopia, unlike Microsoft customers who were usually confronted with vendors who couldn't dare to sell you a box with a competing operating system even when asked.
That looks like it could be useful, but it has two flaws. One is that you can't copy and paste the escape sequences and the other is that it's difficult to find, say, the Russian alphabet if you don't know its numeric range.
In many ways Bill Gates seems to view MSResearch and the Gates Foundation as his legacy, more than Microsoft proper. Whereas for Steve, I think Apple is his legacy.
This is an interesting point you hit on and something that is stressed in scuba diving. Basically whenever you go out on a dive you only want to change one thing at a time. Only one thing can be "new" or "untested" or "new to you". Otherwise you run the risk of being task overloaded which leads to cascading failure - potentially catastrophic and/or nonrecoverable.
I wonder how hard it would be to copy this with old PC boards. Given how non-standard PC hardware is, I guess you'd have to know what motherboard you've got before you can start trying to mod it to network boot.

It looks like Coreboot doesn't support any boards older than the Pentium II timeframe.
Am I the only one who thought this was some attack on Chrome? Whenever I hear talk about browser chrome I always think that Google's name choice was a little confusing. Probably best in the end, though, since it's a catchy name.
Tmux is a client/server system and GNU Screen isn't? Really?

How does GNU Screen work then?

I got a high score in this game once, calling Dell tech support to get a hard drive replacement. I had of course done all the troubleshooting in advance, so when the agent answered I said "Hi, my hard drive is having trouble, I've done this, and I've done that, ..." basically fast-forwarding through the script that I knew must exist. And I must have done it right because his response was "Uh...OK...looks like you have a bad hard drive, we'll ship a replacement right away." Yes!
That am aware of..but I am looking for a clone using PHP/MySql..and possibly Wordpress as the backend cms.
Considering that this is a startup community, it's really surprising to see the amount of negativity in the comments here and on other "work for a startup" posts.

Is it just that a lot of people here have been burned by enough startups that they're cynical?
But you can break a large diamond into one or more smaller diamonds. It's very likely that the Hope Diamond was originally part of a truly enormous diamond stolen in France and pared down.
More often than not, the regulatory agencies become captured by the very businesses they are regulating.
Yeah.. we were thinking to remove that functionality, your are not the first one to tell us that.
It might, but keep in mind the history of the planet. Those fish more likely came from a species that already existed in warmer waters. Over the course of time they slowly drifted in and adapted. Then they could be shut off from the outside world and still thrive due to their earlier adaption.
Haven't tried with such large datasets. Very curious about the results!

Should be fast, since Riot uses compiled and cached expressions and updates DOM nodes only if there is a change.

If there is a performance bottleneck, it can be fixed.

We'll be doing performance tests and comparisons later.
In fact in Japan atm I use a starboard (basicly a large projector with touch capabilities), in my classroom. If things like this became more common, I'm sure education could be shaken up a lot.

It is an excellent medium to teach a class withe.
Looks nice. React really is more of a pattern or (if you will) a design philosophy, so anything along those lines is appreciated.
However, I don't think being ~10x smaller is enough. It needs to be ~10x better as a whole, which in my view it isn't. The improvements seem more cosmetic than substantial.

Having had time to mull this over, I was not vitriolic enough. Disruption of sclerotic industries is a Good Thing. VoIP has destroyed the International call market and brought innovation to an industry that was impressed by Caller ID.

But if one company achieved success in the VoIP market over its competitors by dishonest, underhand or fraudulent means then they should be punished - enough to end the moral hazard.

This is why Über and the like are facing opposition from disinterested parties - because "disruption" of an industry by new technologies is a Schumpter style positive - but it is not a Cloak of Immunity for any particular company engaged in that disruption. We do not have a good track record in this - and that matters.

Yeah, but this seems like a pretty e2e solution to me now. Most people get an iPhone before their first credit card. They can not get an Apple Card directly on their iPhone with a few touches that instantly gets added to their wallet (the physical card takes days to ship), the card in the iPhone Wallet can now directly be used.
After a second look it's probably down to the movement of the drone rather than the smoothing algorithm
How? I was under the impression this tech was the same. Just like our cards’ chips are compatible.
> People will still be talking about how the US doesn't have contactless payments another five years from now. It's an inexpensive way to feel good.

From my personal experience, there were roughly about 80% of shops in NYC, up until the beginning of pandemic, that did not accept contactless or where it did not work. One particular supermarket next door had the proper POS for 3 years and it still wouldn't work even this May when I left.

The restaurants were even worse.
Regardless, I don't think ignorance would be a valid legal defense, despite whether someone recognizes random sequences of bits as personal property or not.
I think one of the fundamental flaws with American companies is that someone with "the right skills" means the person is a shoe-in at the time of hire. They are expected the walk onto the job with all the training, know-how, experience etc that the company needs at that very minute.

That's not an American problem. It is a global problem.

100 years ago you got job training. Then you had to pay colleges the privilege filtering you or your colleagues out for the companies. Nowadays even that is not enough, and businesses are demanding 2-3 internships because people are desperate enough to push all the costs of job training onto themselves.

It is a welcome change for many businesses, but the result is that too many people choose a field by accident. Then they have effectively wasted X years and X dollars. As a business, you don't foot the bill of training a potentially bad worker/student, but the entire society loses total productivity.
Got it. Seeding indefinitely. Thanks for the up.
