I reiterate what I said. There is eBay, there is etsy, there are all those other places for physical goods. You'd think an Internet company would cater first to the digital-ness of the Net. Do you know what a pain it is, for example, for a single writer to sell an eBook independently?
Putting all those 250GB hard drives lying around to good use!
Having spent a lot of time on both the selling and buying side of "professional services" I can see that most successful sales pitches are built around giving the purchaser a sense of certainty of the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

I actually think that in many cases it is more difficult for someone who is knowledgeable to convey that sense of certainty because in so many technical situations the technical answer to simple questions is "it depends on the details of what you want to do". The "right" answer in a sales context is usually "yes, this will solve your problems" and worry about the reality once the contract is signed.
Let's talk about something more interesting:

1. Open Angel Forum has gotten a dozen startups funded.
2. Open Angel Forum is now in eight cities, and will be in San Francisco this Thursday.
3. The Launch Conference next winter will be a platform for 30-50 startups to launch AND raise their seed/A-rounds.

These SEO attacks are absurd at this point... I may be outspoken, but this is a slam job done by a group of SEOs who have it out for me. It's sad that they can take over HackerNews so easily.
back on my old account... had linked that to Facebook, so had to activate my FB account to login reset password, deactivate again, etc.

Anywhere I can buy that Pocket Hi-Fi? Honestly, if it pumped out epic audio quality, I'd be more than happy with that interface (with more pixels in the text fields, I've got some other-language-named songs). iPods have been noticeably insufficient for my Grados, and that'd be a perfect complementary style.
These industrial projects tend to have a massive amount of inertia (which is probably a good thing overall, you don't want people to migrate your plane autopilot to React.js because it's fashionable) so it doesn't surprise me that experienced devs who only deal with these codebases and don't lurk on HN aren't exposed to Rust.

If your used to web technology standards Rust being stable since 2015 makes it a mature tool. Almost outdated really. On the other hand if at your work C99 is still new and shiny Rust is basically brand new tech which might be worth looking into in a few years. People who work on long term, critical projects want boring, reliable tools.

Non Invasive Ventilation is the preferred mode to assistant patients with the lung pathology COVID creates. This requires higher than normal lung pressures for oxygenation as the concentration of O2 can be detrimental to the lungs causing a worsening. The extra pressure means a lower concentration of O2 is needed to help the patient.

Intubation adds more risk to the patients lungs recovering because the volumes of air moved in an out can also cause injury; as the lungs are no longer moving as well with the increased fluid COVID patients experience. A full featured ventilator is not a silver bullet, it is a sign that things are very serious for the patients lungs. The shorter amount of time on the ventilator the better, which also means no ventilator unless absolutely necessary.

Using a mask like this does the basics, but we do have to rely on the patient to move their own air volumes in and out. Often they are able to do this, so this mask could provide real benefits.

The bubble helmets you can see in Italian hospital footage have been shown in an 2016 study to reduce the need to intubate and put patients on a full featured ventilator. The caveat being the COVID pandemic experience will glean a lot more insight into keeping patients from being intubated and off of full featured ventilators.
Surely they can't be infected but I know that when I get sick, I have a lot close contact with my dogs, which includes that they sometimes get saliva on them (sleeping on them and drooling and/or coughing near them), which means their fur would carry the virus.
i just append until the file is large enough.

i one time made a html version that takes a query. js finds the line matching the text then hides everything before the previous seperator and after the next one. if a key is pressed it seeks the next match, if there isnt a (next) match foo-07.html forwards the query to foo-08.html which might not exist (haha) it shouldn't be so hard to update the js with a max value or check if it exists first but without such luxury it worked amazingly well for the amount of code involved
I am working on https://dev.events – an ad-free, open-source listing of developer conferences, meet-ups, and training.

Remember that any improvement we make will immediately make the situation worse temporarily because of the aerosol masking effect. The temperatures are lower than they should be because of our emissions blocking out the sun, once the emissions improve the temperature will jump up.
No, it's a third option because God is outside of time. So, since the term "always" is tensed, it doesn't apply.

I think that what's wrong is the idea that a single decision, specially one involving sex and money, can determine 'the kind of person' you are. Extremely simplistic and unrealistic point of view.
While I can't think of an instance where I've seen this myself, I remember my real estate agent warning me about this when I was buying my first house. Some buyers will simply not consider any offer you make if your first one is so far below what they are asking that they consider it insulting.
As somebody who is attempting to transition from my old industry into web development, I am biased, but I disagree.

I was a good ranch hand before I was a good fine dining waiter. I then proceeded to become a good engineer, and now I am proceeding to try to be a good web developer. My life would have been a lot more boring, had a stayed a ranch hand, or a waiter, or an engineer.

In calculus, you learn about local maxima and local minima. Your life can have these as well. You sense that you're at a maxima, and if you proceed in any other direction, you will go down. Some people refuse to take any step that feels like a step down, even if the path can take them to a higher local maxima than they were at before.

I was a bad waiter before I was a good one. I was a bad engineer before I was a good one. I'm not a great web developer yet. If your ego can handle going from good to bad, I think you shouldn't stay on your little local maxima, trembling that you'll get knocked off it by events you can't control. Jump off of it of your own free will.
No, I try to always downvote comments which are "I don't like it" "I don't understand" "$competitor is better" and similar.

In this case "they are idiots for caring so much about something I don't care for ".

It's nothing more than a smug putdown. It's like anti-intellectualism but for anti-quality or anti-effort.

> They seem to use the video-tag in some cases (Safari, maybe Chrome) but not in others

Not chrome, only Safari. So yes, this is basically the same thing as forcing flash as you either have to change the browser, get a new OS if you're on linux, install a plugin, download the file manually or cheat your user agent. Not very "standard" friendly to say the least.
one thing to note, safari5 for some reason won't work w/netflix streaming (their site asks for safari 3 + ) go figure.
We'll have gigabit fiber by then. 100mps will be wireless.

Apple appears to have really focused on hardware innovation for iPhone 4:

steel alloy antenna acting as frame

custom A4 chip

gyroscope

camera backslide illumination sensor

engineered glass and retina display

This seems like the biggest hardware upgrade to the iPhone to date. I think people will respond by making it a record-selling iPhone.
I'm on Linux too, I can't view Quicktime unless I install illegal codecs.
The Pacific Fibre guys are trying to do just that, as another poster mentioned.

Telecom NZ is of the mindset that bandwidth is a scarce resource that will run out and needs the maximum revenue extracted from it (yet never to be upgraded, capacity wise).

Which ironically leads to half of Southern Cross capacity lying fallow because their prices are too high.

Pacific Fibre cannot come soon enough, and when they do, Telecom cannot die fast enough.
Is the intended formula "make something unpleasant palatable by pairing it with something pleasant?" Because I think the effect is actually "make something cognitively challenging even more so by pairing it with powerful distractions." I also recall reading studies showing that men's cognitive performance degraded around pretty women, so perhaps these are simply fundamentally at odds.
Curious as to how you see B&N having lower supply chain cost than Apple? Apple is making 15M+ ipads, their unit costs on chips etc are going to be lower, B&N still has to source and develop the hardware for NC

I was aware of the technique of hiding the body, but that for me is unacceptable. It causes further delays to get content on the page. This inlining of the fonts is quite interesting.

It'd be nice to have a way of clients caching webfonts. Fonts could have a signature (checksum) and loaded from the user cache.
IIRC there was something (unconvincing) on a blog, and they did (nominally) encourage people to open new tickets for issues they cared about. No, that didn't keep me motivated. Words are cheap; actions speak louder. If they really wanted to encourage people to open tickets, they wouldn't robo-close them.

There are a lot of ways they could have avoided that mess. Keepalive anything with recent comment traffic is one that springs to mind, since those comments are often along the lines of "yup, still an issue as of version X.Y.Z" or "Hey, it's been N years, any word on a fix?".

How are they doing things differently from a merchant account perspective?

We just finished setting up a merchant account for one of our products and that process is a huge productivity bottleneck. There are a number of solutions out there today for startups who want to process payments (chargify comes to mind) but they all pretty much have the same problem - having to deal with a merchant account setup. If that takes weeks, the setup takes weeks too, even if the new gateway needs only a few minutes to get you started on their end.

I know Homakov is very talented, I really like his work!

But I find the article difficult to parse. Anyone know of a technical but more accessible article on the 5-6 points he mentions?
Well, it shouldn't be too hard for the author to write original 'Just CSS' then.
Concur. Besides, he is probably shooting less than 30 lbs which is enough for his stunts, when you want to be shooting 70-80 lbs for hunting. Given his technique, I'd like to see him pull that. As for "war", I've seen medieval estimates of 140 lbs, which always left me wondering, because after 20 years pulling 45 lbs myself, 140 lbs just means "injury" to me.
I agree with you. I looked into Persona to implement an SSO for our products (provider and client). I've never been able to understand OAuth in the context of an authentication mechanism so I left it.

However, Persona has very poor library support, especially for providers. The support channels are also very small, so you're not likely to find other people fixing the same issues.

I ended up just hacking an OpenID provider libary to get the result I wanted. It's a real shame because Persona seemed to be designed for circumstances very similar to what I wanted to do.
Why wouldn't they outlast? I'm not sure if hold up Subarus as the paragon of reliability given the headgasket issues that plagued certain years.
That's the billion dollar question, particularly because of the individualization necessary.
Yes - but IMO, as soon as you've shed any significant amount of load, you've failed.

If just 10% of a nationwide grid is down, there's a good chance the phone network won't work, internet will be down, trains won't run, credit card/payment systems won't work, etc. All those things have primary and backup systems, but somewhere in the chain of dependencies there will be both a primary and backup that have been shed, and the system designers thought "these two data centers are 500 miles apart, so won't fail together".

Why would people want to read work related articles during their commute?

Honestly it's just another newsletter I don't click on. Email is filled with way too many newsletters as it is.
I did see that, but the fact that facebook is even an option just put me off straight away.

The global comments kind of works but can be incredibly disorienting to read since it jumps from topic to topic.
Edit:

tl;dr - color is a 3D space. Colorblind people can only percieve two of these. This device may change the projection of the 3D space on their 2D space, but it will not magically make the third dimension pop out.

-- original post, a bit less synthetic.

Color is a 3D space (wherever you chose to put the axes, RGB, HSL...) because we have three subtypes of color-related light detectors, called cones, in our retina (there are more photosensitive cells, but they aren't involved in color).

Each cone is sensitive to a range of the visible spectrum, with peak sensitivity respectively in what we call red, green and blue. These ranges are overlapping, though, which allows our brain to interpret monochromatic light correctly by weighting the response of each type of cone.

See [1] for a schema and a more thorough explanation.

Note also that magenta exists as a color (ie unique subjective experience), even though no monochromatic light can evoke it. You get it by stimulating the red and the blue cones, sparring the green one.

All of this to say that with two cones, you're stuck in a 2D space of color blindness.

This tool may help colorblind people to get a different projection of the 3D space in their 2D detection field, but they will not be able to perceive the 3D space at once.

--

For those who didn't get their dose of photoreceptors trivia:

The retina also contains another type of detectors called rods, which are much more sensitive to light than the cones, and is involved in both day and night vision whereas the cones are only stimulated in daylight This explains why you don't percieve colors in the darkness.

At last, the recently discovered melanopsin containing ganglion cells are involved in the circadian cycle and other light-related acivity in the autonomous nevous system.

Not quite on topic, but I do believe a way needs to be found to make development of targeted therapies feasible for these ultra rare genetic disorders. The current model seems to be that they go through the standard clinical drug development pathway which is never going to be economically feasible for something applicable to such small cohorts of patients.

The best I can see is to invest very heavily in the common methods underlying how the therapies get created - gene editing, knockout / interference etc. The better these work, the less risk there is that a drug is going to fail at clinical trials. It means, a lot more basic research as well as applied research to translate the findings.

Then we need to work on smoothing the clinical trials pathway as much as possible so that if a method is operating from proven principles it doesn't have to jump every single hurdle as if it is completely novel. Obviously, there are huge risks here if it goes wrong. But on the other hand, we can look at the cancer space and see that patients get very ready access to experimental drugs there, and overall it is enormously beneficial to overall progress. Rare disease sits somewhere in the middle - people are not (usually) dying but their life quality is so heavily compromised that there ought to be some allowance for a more accelerated access to trial drugs than if we are talking about routine medical use.
Just the fact that you get push back on work like that suggests to me that these companies will never cure anything. They will treat absolutely disease, but cure nothing.
>Let us also find out why a non governmental entity is handling *

Ex-gov here. It is baked into gov thinking that the most desirable solution to difficult problems is to give it to the commercial sector. To a degree, it recognizes that a core responsibility of US gov is to support US commerce. One may argue how that philosophy encourages certain forms of corruption (swinging door, price abominations etc) but it's an accepted cost of doing business. What's good for GM is still, in those corridors, felt to be good for America.

I'm not arguing that this is a good thing. But it's how US gov thinks. That is why these problems are farmed out to the commercial sector. And as ex-gov, I can tell you that the government is a cash cow. And that's how they like it. And business. They like that too.
I will grasp this amazing opportunity and flood you with these questions:

Does that include the left pilot seat, the foam system, the bubble door, the bucket suspension system, or any of the other adaptions, plus getting it certified? The article specifies that some of the parts are surplus, but nothing in it says there are no new parts or modern avionics. It's entirely possible it'd still be worth it going with buying them outright, but the situation is more complicated than you suggest
Polymorphism typically referred to worms and viruses that changed their own code base as they spread. Most infections, however, happen from phishing emails either with attachments or linking to the payload. Changing the files produced so as to no longer be caught by antivirus signatures is trivial, and you can even create a unique variant for each phish.

Many legitimate programs will seem to act similarly - opening files and overwriting contents with something else. ID3 tag writers for MP3s, file type converters, batch image processing, etc. This means you can't match easily against the types of actions being taken.

Let's imagine, however, that the antivirus was still able to detect that something odd was happening. If it prompts the user, they will inevitably click 'yes run this file', because that's what they have always done. If it quarantines the file... well, you just add another few lines to the phishing email saying that the attachment is perfectly safe ("scanned by symantec" apparently...) and to go ahead and bring it back out from quarantine

Is that what determines a flop, though? Siri is definitely known, and added value to the iphone and the apple brand overall. While I use Google Now and think it is superior, I'm not sure if performance would be enough to label Siri as a flop.

Bing on the other hand, not so much.
Yeah. I understand the unfortunate symbolism of right-wing intruders taking the chambers but I still think in terms of injuries/ fatalities while staff and lawmakers were evacuated, this was a successful de-escalation. (This [well, 'taking' the parliament] happened in Germany, too, and no-one was talking about it anymore days later because nothing really happened.)

It is unfortunate though, that this strategy is only seemingly applied to white people.
