Unsure of how much editing you've done but I've made over 10,000 edits over the past 9 years and that's not been my experience (google my HN username + wikipedia).
Fascinatingly in one of the comments sections, someone referred to this product which looks like it's almost exactly the same product, just not directly made by Intel: http://de.aliexpress.com/item/2014-Original-MeegoPad-Meego-T...
Hey Bemmu, great story! Come and talk about it in one of the next HN Kansai :)
> Can you point out some "hive mind" ideologies here on HN?

I have a problem with HN voting conceptually, compared to Slashdot - on Slashdot, you were supposed not to downvote a comment that you disagree with. The purpose of upvotes and downvotes was to facilitate discussion. On HN, the policy seems to be - if you agree/disagree, upvote/downvote (although I am not sure it's official, that's what I have been told, I may have been trolled :-)).
> they purport to show that slower more polite driving is more efficient

Where are you seeing this?
I wonder if the VCs now regret just giving the company back to the founder who lost their money. $11m revenue growing this fast is a lot.
Same. I just said I was no longer using WhatsApp. Sure, it puts the pressure on them to switch, and makes you the bad guy for a while, but it works.

I mean, they are not going to stop using it for other people, but at least your communication will be somewhat private. At least until WhatsApp finds a way to siphon data from other apps that is.
Actually, a restaurant can ban you for anything outside of specific protected classes like race, gender, religion. A restaurant can ban you for your political beliefs, who your friends are as long as they are not a protected class, they don't like the breed of dog you have, or anything else. Welcome to a free country.
Downvoting is a form of criticism.
Yeah, the real selling points seems to be around the features. But i don't think people care enough about all that if majority of their friends are on WhatsApp.
As I understand it, Fox News was created as a "junk food" alternative to traditional media. By cutting back on investigative journalism and focusing on commentary and shows like "The O'reilly Factor" Fox could create "news" content for less than their competitors. I'm not sure if the apparent "right" lean was due to the ownership or to market realities that made that kind of content more appealing to right-of-center media consumers.

This model has been pretty successful financially and the other major media outlets in the US have followed suit (though often leaning left instead). I think MSNBC was one of the first with the obnoxious melodrama of Keith Olbermann.
Just a few hundred more million murders of our own citizens and we'll be more open, honest, transparent and efficient, we promise.

We need to learn from Hollywood. Always get a share of the profit off the top. Any other kind of profit sharing is not worth it.
IMO they (Lawyer, MD, some C level execs) are lower upper class. Tech professionals are Higher middle class.

A friend of mine once shared learnings from a university class that talked about markers of each class.

Lower class can be marked by immediate gratification (sometimes out of need): Buying a bag of chips and soda because you need calories now, spend that tax refund on a TV because you want something to make yourself feel better and you "know" the end of your poverty/pain isnt ever coming, better to spend today than wait for a broken promise to come true.

One of the middle class markers is deferral of gratification for greater future gratification: buying a home instead of renting forever, going to school to eventually make more money, buying a jumbo pack of toilet paper today to save 12c a roll for the next year.

The upper class marker is that of unlimited gratification and a separate economic; You can have anything you (reasonably) could want and the basis of your life is not monetary/material but more about economic power, political influence, access to inaccessible people and places. Examples might be anything that is actually "exclusive" (as opposed to the marketing term applied to everything), relating to and breeding with people at or above your ranks and, various markers of your importance in this world to show off to others (Awards, recognitions, philanthropy) ...
Now I know this is not going to sound "rational", but...

I saw the example early on the page about evaluating whether or not to outsource their clothes shopping, and just stopped. Anyone for whom this is even a valid concept is so far removed from who I am that I just am not going to value their advice.
Telegram is really popular in some countries and is a more convenient for me as well because of that.
Just one thing to keep in mind: it is run by VK.com's original "creator" and that social network reportedly had (and still has) very close relationships with Russian agencies. It is surprising how easily people forget about such things as soon as people turn into "opposition" and leave the country and/or their main business.
hah I had the same problem, finally about two years ago I decided it was time to ween myself off the book. A guy in my area has a small school which is largely focused on getting players off-book with the top couple hundred standards. It's definitely a slow process at first, but what I think is remarkable is how (even setting aside the blues or rhythm changes tunes) how much faster memorizing new tunes goes once you've done 50 or 60.

I think that I had assumed, perhaps partly because of the existence of the book, that while memorizing pop or rock songs is relatively easy, permanently memorizing standards with a lot of changes was not a realistic thing, but now I know that its really more that the problem space is just larger for standards, and its just a matter of exploring that space for a while that you get familiar enough that you can listen and guess your way through tunes you're shaky on. Now, the book seems like more trouble than its worth on gigs because it takes a lot of my limited cycles to stare at it. But boy did it take a while to get to that point!
Fair enough. Cheers.
This can create false negatives when a request must be retried due to network failure but actually succeeded because the failure was during the response.

Idempotency is great for "debouncing" requests. If you want to tell difference between identical requests that are different transactions, add a unique transaction id of some kind.
How would that apply in this case? They're not paying per bag of trash or anything.
> So, to put it succinctly: fuck no.

Cheers.
I like that it doesn't know that anything went wrong.
Is there a programmatic way to figure out what letter corresponds to a given keycode without that key being pressed? Because you may have to display that info somewhere to give an indication what the user has to press.
Not being american I had to look it up: US kids can join the military at the age of 17 with parental conscent. That's kind of wild.
Hot tip, if you’re in Japan and don’t want to shake hands right now. Bow first. I find people of Japan will shake hands to make you feel welcome if you don’t bow.

I just had a young doctor in a hospital shake my hand, I would say out if the important cultural need to be polite and pay respect to someone older. I don’t care or blame him even though I was surprised.

On a side note, I would say upwards of 75% of people in Tokyo are wearing masks
I don't think that how much someone is willing to pay is a good way to measure what something's most productive use is. For one thing, it fails to account for the degree to which people have differences in what they are able to pay.
The cat is out the bag. Most of the people in the world will be exposed to this virus and survive. China knows this. China also knows it's not possible to remain isolated from the virus and its effects. Even if that was possible, China's citizens would have to remain in virtual isolation until a vaccine was developed. Who knows when that will be or the knock on effects.
I really don't remember the details and the original article may not have listed weight loss. It may have listed inches around his biceps lost.

I just remember it being hyped a bit concerning "yeah, he looks amazing -- but you can't take a break at all because when he had the flu, he saw crazy declines in a short period of time." I want to say a week, but that could be wrong.

I'm seriously bad with remembering names, titles, etc.

I also remember a friend who took up weight training after giving birth. She said she lost four inches around her waistline and only lost four pounds because muscle mass is generally heavier than other tissues.

I've had similar conversations with other women who were trying to lose weight or otherwise work on their physique. Some are downright disappointed by such results because they are looking for a specific number on the scale.

Sort of tangential: I knew a woman who quit smoking. Smoking suppresses the appetite and meets oral needs. People who quit often take up snacking as a substitute and their weight shoots up.

She said she would weigh herself and cry and her husband would basically talk her out of taking up smoking again because she was so upset at the weight gain.

Anyway, my mind organizes info its own way and I'm not always happy about it and it sometimes gets me into all kinds of social hot water because it sounds like crazy talk to other people. So this is probably not going to get better from here.

Cheers.
Me too. I want to express my deep gratitude to those who sustain myself and others. I show up at the grocery store and encounter a cornucopia of nourishing foods - how lucky am I. This is your time to shine farmers, truck drivers, food processors and grocery store workers. Thank you!
Film restoration, though it doesn't technically fall under "restoration".

I run a site [0] that has a lot of old and indie films. Some of these are really great, but terrible quality, because they are very old with very few copies in existence.

Proper restoration is a crazy time consuming process, and often requires you have access to some of the analog sources, and the machines to read them.

But... What if instead of a full restoration, you focus instead on just making it watchable? Allow some quality loss to trick the human eye into seeing what is important?

The best result so far is on The Great Train Robbery [1], and I have a brief breakdown of the process over here [2]. (I also put together a soundtrack for it, using a MIDI synth).

However... Currently the process is _slow_.

Restoring a full-length feature film, like I'm trying with the Blancheville Monster, will take months, despite it running in parallel to cover as many frames as the CPU/RAM combo can handle. (The Great Train Robbery took about 2 weeks).

Anything I can do to speed up the process is helpful. Unfortunately, the most time-consuming step (up to 20 seconds a frame, but usually around 1-2sec), is also the most important and I don't think I can optimise it. (The simplify step that uses k-means clustering).

The process is also not perfect yet. There is still too much quality loss. It's watchable, easily, but could still be better.

Another way folks can help our 1st responders who are desperately short of equipment. Health departments everywhere should jump on the bandwagon and organize similar requests.
Yeah I've seen what people have made but they mostly appear to be modestly heated enclosures with desiccants. Desiccants get saturated very quickly here unless the box is super sealed (that's what I've been using for storage so far) so it's a drag. I also want to be able to heat this to maybe 80-85C to really dry out the nylon continuously in situ, so it has to be pretty well insulated or you'll use a ton of energy.
There is a historical argument against software patents. And one can be made for shorter durations for hardware ones now.
Plenty of families would benefit from dividing labor that way; the biggest (non-artificial) obstacle is probably the inertia from the realities of giving birth and breastfeeding.
Clarifying further, 'terrorism' means using fear (the 'terror' part) to achieve political goals (the 'ism' part). Peacefully blocking a highway might be civil disobedience, but it's nowhere near terrifying.
Alexander Zvonkin's book is worthwhile both for math pedagogy and Soviet insight... the OP doesn't link the full book... either http://www.ams.org/bookstore-getitem/item=MCL-5 or http://www.amazon.com/Math-Three-Seven-Mathematical-Preschoo... is a great example of a preschool Math Circle.

If math pedagogy is your main interest any of the MSRI Math Circle Library books are worthwhile. This includes "Circle in a Box" which is a Math Circle starter kit freely available here http://www.mathcircles.org/GettingStartedForNewOrganizers_Wh...
This looks roughly down from about 10k feet. For a midcourse or terminal ballistic missile, you want to be looking up, like the cobra dane radars or THAAD or patriot batteries. To find the launch, we rely on infrared satellite sensors like cobra brass, and use radar to track. But again, this would be inappropriate, and other radars would be used.
I'd be interested in what parts of Scala that an intelligent implementation of reification would harm.
I've been wondering lately how many young children would actually understand what is going on when the HBO ident appears.

So, in the speeds ipv4 was handed out before they ran out, how long would two /8s last? Weeks? Months?
You'd be able to slack on moving to ipv6 for those weeks, months. Whee.
> The markup on most products is such that US businesses could easily manufacture their products in the US at current minimum wages and still handily profit.

What data are you basing this on?

You're also ignoring the most important part - consumer choice. People buy cheap shit because it's cheaper. It's the foundation of Walmart. So let's say the companies here did manufacture here, but then a foreign competitor offers a significantly cheaper product - how do you reconcile that without going out of business?
> IPv6 /126

Uh, unless you're running BGP over this or getting a larger subnet statically routed to you, get a larger prefix. A /48 or /56 is the current recommendation [1] for business end site allocations.

I am not interested in seeing the rise of yet another image host that is not a nonprofit
The feds run various websites and create content for various reasons. NASA images are free to reuse with attribution, and lots of astronomy sites do. But you wouldn't want someone making a copycat of the reservation site and scamming people. So it makes sense for the US gov to assert some rights to protect its services--and the people it serves.
Indeed, until now there has been no financial incentive for those companies to sell the IPs. At a certain point demand and willingness to pay rise making sellers interested in selling. Or maybe IPv6 will happen instead. The problem is IPv6 requires a lot of very complex inventive alignment, whereas an IPv4 market will just result in a well understood price/scarcity relationship.
When Tinder launched, you could only choose pictures that you've used as your Facebook profile picture. I thought it was a brilliant way to cut down on bullshit because you have to use a picture you were willing to show the whole world (so, less likely to use that photoshopped portrait that doesn't even look like you).

Though eventually you could upload any image.

Either way, I don't think it's such a big problem. Most people know that the feeling of betrayal is the last thing you want your date to feel when you walk into the room. It's just not a winning strategy.
If a business can only exist if you exploit your labor force, then maybe your business shouldn't exist.

The portion of people that work jobs for fun or a little extra income are a minority. There are more examples of people working several minimum wage jobs just trying to survive.

Maybe there is a compromise somewhere though. How about if you pay the minimum wage, then the owners/stake holders cannot make more than the lowest paid person.

The head(s) of a company making good money(so I'm lumping some small businesses in here too), while saying that they just can't afford to pay their workers a decent wage, leave a bad taste in my mouth.

Off topic, but I feel the same way about all the businesses saying we need cheap labor from Mexico or South America for the businesses to survive, since Americans won't do the job. It creates an underclass of people. If you can't find workers due to wage, and you cannot afford to pay more, the solution isn't to find a class of people that have it so bad, that living in poverty in America is a good option.
This is an outrage. Only private companies like Google, Facebook, LexisNexis, Experian, Equifax, Corelogic, Nielsen, Acxiom, Datalogix, Epsilon, Spokeo, Radaris, ID Analytics, eBureau, Intelius, PeekYou, Rapleaf, and Recorded Future should profit from information about me.

Tax cuts are not a great stimulus. The multiplier effect is low. A great deal from a liberal perspective would be a system in which higher education for qualified people has minimal cost, a system in which everyone has access to decent medical care, a system which invests in the future with infrastructure, scientific research, etc. These things cost money and lowering government revenue without corresponding cuts adds to the deficit in a way that has a low multiplier effect. Tax rates are quite low right now. Deficit spending is a tax, it's just a delayed tax. The moral thing to do with our present deficit spending is to spend in programs that will enhance the country. The tax cuts don't do this.
Cool spin on viewing tweets.

Since this shows multiple tweets from a single user, the ordering of the users becomes more important. I think its currently ordered by most recently followed. Some other orderings that might be interesting:

(1) Most recently tweeted

(2) Affinity - order by people I reply/RT the most

(3) List view - view users from a specific list

Also, would be nice if you could click on links in tweets directly.
As one who loves GNUstep/WindowMaker, but kind of gags about Gnome while tolerating it, I don't know exactly how to feel about this one. It looks... interesting?
Interesting how state-funded health care would prevent his doctor example completely. True, we might need more taxes, but the cost would be evenly divided among the 'suckers' who have ill family members and the 'suckers' who don't.
Can you expand on why this is so?
Right but the fact that it cut it's unemployment in half in 5 years time while the rest of the world sank into a depression leads you to ask what they were doing that caused that. The fact that "what Merkel was doing" was moving the country away from Socialism contradicts the initial assertion that "Germany is a socialist as a nation comes and they're one of the most prosperous countries in the world"
Germany is still significantly more socialist than the US currently, and US unemployment is higher than 6.7%.

Also, apparently the lower German employment is due to a socialist program in which the government gets companies to lower your working hours and makes up the salary difference.

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/04/business/global/04dmark.ht...

> Part of the answer is that, in Germany, Trumpf could take advantage of government incentives to reduce worker hours rather than lay off people, a system known as short work. In the program, the government gives workers partial compensation for the lost wages.
I went ahead and signed up, although having to sit through a presentation to get that far was somewhat onerous. (The presentation was fun, though, so it wasn't that bad.) I agree with other posters that at least a sampling of tasks available should be visible right at the outset for interested experts.

There's no facility for attaching files. If your output is anything other than short text in forum format, I don't know how you're expected to proceed.

That said, there are two texts for translation from German, and that's the kind of stuff I'm happy to do. Of course, one of them was 2,390 words, which is about a day's work for most translators. I'm not sure how "micro" that is. It would take me about two hours. If I end up with a couple of hours free this week, I'll consider doing it, but it seems a little disproportionate.

But - a very interesting site overall. I'm going to hang out there and help out from time to time.

Somewhat off-topic: I was a little taken aback at how many people talk about SEO on this site. I've always thought that if you produce interesting content, SEO will take care of itself. Are people being unreasonable, or am I being dismissive? (Check all that apply...)
Maybe the title should indicate this is about an "expert" mouse.
Nitpick: There are no "deg K", because it is an absolute system it doesn't have degrees.

Notice you also don't need degrees metre, degrees watt or degrees newton, because those are absolute units they are metres, watts and newtons. It is Celsius (and Fahrenheit) which are weird because they aren't absolute but instead have this arbitrary zero point.

Favorited, thanks for the link. I did find some good youtube channels tonight while researching this more. Listening to the pronunciation ... boy I have some work to do. I've gotten lazy with casual German pronunciation, but Latin is going to require way more practice.

This is, according to this link you posted yourself, a work-in-progress. There's no evidence this system is resilient to attacks or that it will work at scale. Only time will tell that.

While this is definitely better than the outrageous waste of energy promoted by BitCoin and other proof-of-work crypto coins, the fact that BitCoin has been so popular for so long proves that it doesn't matter if it actually is "good" as a crypto coin or not: all that matters is whether people believe its price will keep going up - even on HN you see people who couldn't care less if its energy consumption is on par with Argentina's as long as they can make a few bucks betting on it.
