Yeah the hangout interface is pretty bad. We've been able to get our viewers to completely avoid the hangout interface and use Crowdcast for all interactions. Right now only the speakers have to deal with the hangout interface. The host invites them directly to the hangout.

Although it works fine 90% of the time, we were able to run the largest virtual conf in history, every once in a while hangouts does still do strange things. Luckily for that reason we made Crowdcast decoupled from the video service, you can use it with Livestream, Ustream, or anything with an embed code.

Creator of Game Artist Hunt here! Game Artist Hunt presents you a list of 10 hand-picked freelance game artists per week. Each list will stay on our site for 4 weeks.

We have been developing mobile games for ~2 years. As game developers, we have to get the arts done in the most convenient way for us. This would depend on the tools the artist use and if we are capable of using the same software to modify or not, especially animations.

So we bring you a list of freelance game artists along with the tools they use and the minimum hourly rate up-front.

The game artists freelance will be contacted by the client directly. No middlemen, no service fee.

Moreover, it’s also free for everyone!

We’d love to hear what you think, features you wish it was there, suggestions, anything!

What kind of argument is this? "It would really hurt to amputate my leg, so let's just wait and let the gangrene go further for now."
Yeah, the "doesn't carry the sleep debt" bit is dubious at best. Maybe not at much. But it doesn't fit my experience at all. Anecdotes not being data, and all that, but for me at least I still wear down over time with a couple of uses of modafinil a week unless I actually make sure to catch up on sleep, to the point where I am careful to limit how often I use it, even though it is far easier to avoid totally crashing with than caffeine and generally feels less stressful on the body (whether that feeling reflects reality, I don't know).
>If this proves to be true in humans as well...

Wake me up when they publish that paper.

A lot of them are already metric.
Like the name and it's a neat idea.
The explosion seems to be in the air so seismic shock - basis for 21 tons TNT - is lower than would be oversize. I think - based on the blast wave in the video at 7 seconds sound travel distance - it is several hundred tons TNT, 200-500.

I take armodafinil for a chronic fatigue condition that has been ruled out as any of the diagnosable sleep disorders. It absolutely causes me to sleep less, but that probably has to do with it making me want to go to sleep just a little bit later and not having room to add more sleep in the morning.

It also builds tolerance in a kind of annoying way; it prevents me from napping or sleeping even when it no longer makes me not tired.
They may not have used it because being taught something is easier than inventing it. A famous example: the knowledge of opening milk bottles wasn't independently discovered by all blue tits, but it spread in the population (http://www.britishbirdlovers.co.uk/articles/blue-tits-and-mi..., http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/03766357940...), presumably because one smart bird invented it, and others copied him.

Also, even if a single smart chimp discovered complex language on its own, what good would it do? (S)he would also have to know another smarter-than-average chimp who was smart enough to pick it up, and then, the knowledge would have to spread to a larger group fairly soon in order to survive.

Chimps could be relatively close to the brink of learning complex language, needing only a relatively small push to get over it.
Building shareware and selling it has nothing to do with building a business, let alone co-founders. What the author here has done is comparable to a composer selling music or an author selling a book. He built an ebay tool, and ebay sells it for him. There are many indie game developers and app developers that are successful the same way (microsoft and apple take on the sales and marketing burden respectively). Finding a co-founder is inapplicable to his situation.

The piece might as well be called "how to avoid building a business". If you want to build a business, shareware can be a good start, but avoiding getting help is no way to build something that eventually you want ticking without you. Building a business does not equate to simply making money. Any capable programmer can make money either through employment or on their own. This should never be confused with building a business.

As for building a world class business, no matter how capable you are, if you still believe you can do it alone, you still haven't grasped the magnitude of what you're in for or the foundations you need to build. Businesses are made of people. A business builder is a job creator. If you have a team working like bees, you've built a business. If you have money growing on trees, it's just income.
Yes, I was wrong about typing data. They collect it: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/speech-inking-...

Although it is possible to turn it off.

I think it would do them good to be more clear on how exactly they use and collect that data.

In fact I think this page should be read by everyone here: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-10/windows-privac...

I didn't find anything huge about application data, I'm sorry. Worst case scenario: your computer crashes and an error report contains a memory snapshot with some of your data. Like any other mainstream operating system today.

This discussion shouldn't defer evidence to either mine or your authority or personality. It doesn't matter if I was aggressive or not. In fact, my defence of Microsoft is relative. In my opinion, it is stupid to feel offended about Microsoft's privacy practices, while supporting an even more invasive behaviour by Google. Among those two it is Google, whose business model of selling targeted ads actually depends on collecting personal data from their users. Yet it seems, they are above any scrutiny.

That's what I've been trying to say. I didn't say anything about any anti-Google ads, because I have no idea what those are.

Finally, seeing people selectively whine about privacy on a social network, even a rudimentary one, like HN, seems absurd.
Agreed! Thank you for a much improved plan compare :) I do think there's room for innovation-- we just have to implement reliable software first.

Hi, guys im co-founder of this project, here's a summary

Problem:
Sharing 3rd party content on social, despite relevance or value, does not yield a positive ROI for influencers.

Hypothesis:
If an influencer had full-control of an interstitial ad space then they would be incentivized to share more 3rd party content

Solution:
Embed “interstitial” ad space into 3rd party content
(e.g. http://lnkplg.co/RGPp)

Current Stage:
Building case studies with highly visible social accounts with a focus on improving public facing UX.

Remote Team:
1 full-stack dev (Tampa, FL)
1 sales/hustler (DeLand, FL)

Kevin & ShowHN:
We realize our website and dashboard need work, however, we feel improving our interstitial ad’s Atarimae Hinshitsu (function) and Miryokuteki Hinshitsu (enchantment) is paramount.

Any advice on demo UI/UX would be appreciated!

>When you have secret courts and secret interpretations of secret laws you don't have a process to change them.

Technically there's internal whistleblowing. Besides, the fact that there are secret courts wasn't secret, so you could campaign against having those courts be secret. If there's anything being done that actually violates the law, you'd have full whistleblower protection (if you go through official channels). If it's just your disagreement with the law, you can act against that (as the EFF had been doing for years before Snowden) without breaking it.
I'd prefer to skip metric and redefine the foot as the distance light travels in a nanosecond ~ 11.8 inches. The length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299792458 of a second seems a bit arbitrary to me.

I would also vote for any candidate that would ban anything but powers of 2 in the definition of computer storage.

I believe the HN ranking algorithm rewards recent comments, to the point where often the newest comments are at the top.
Actually, only 6 days, as each subject was given first one of the two diets (low-carb or low-fat), then the other.
Maybe because many of us used cross compilers across multiple programming languages?
As a C-enthusiast, I came in assuming that I wouldn't like this. It actually looks very interesting though.

Modules and imports look to make things much smoother, function pointers and structs are friendlier, and more explicit data types are something many C projects already adhere to.

I'm curious to see how/if the compiler handles blocks and C11 threading/atomics, with the proper libraries (blocksruntime/musl).
> This is a weird response to a comment that quotes Snowden at length providing technical advice to the IETF.

Viewed another way, its a perfectly obvious and not at all weird response to a comment that quotes Snowden explicitly disclaiming that he is any particular, before providing a very vague general impression of things "like" a particular technology about which he was specifically questioned, without providing anything that looks like actual specific technical advice.
I would expect potential acquirers would be a lot less interested anyway given the founders are moving on.
Yeah, people tend to underestimate how complex the respiratory tract is. Cough assist is basically just a machine that holds an insufflation pressure and an exsufflation pressure for specific times to emulate a cough. Independently of the servo programming they're less complicated than speech.

Hemispherectomy (removal of one half of the brain) is a treatment for Rasmussen's encephalitis when it's sufficiently severe (or the seizures are not responding to drugs). If done very early in life, the plasticity of brain makes it such that those patients grow up to be normally functioning adults. We believe this is because the regions that specialize for different tasks are able to combine their function on the same half.

Think of, for instance, the "language" areas (Broca's area and Wernicke's area). (The following over-simplified explanation assumes typical right-hand dominant individuals for the sake of brevity.) If you inactivate that area in the left hemisphere (using drugs or transcranial magnetic stimulation), you'll lose "language" processing of data that occurs around 1 Hz (in English, this corresponds to individual words, phonemes; in tonal languages, this includes tones of lexical significance). If you inactivate that area in the right hemisphere instead, you'll lose "language" processing of data that occurs an order of magnitude slower than that (in most languages, this corresponds to pitch and volume changes over the level of the sentence, and can convey prosody information such as speaker intent as well as speaker identity).

Due to specializations like this, hemispherectomies are not performed later in life. You would get symptoms similar to stroke patients. But for all areas, not just language.
Thanks, apologies for that error.
Sigh, I'm a cynic, this is an amazing accomplishment and all I could do was think that yeast will now be considered a controlled substance that I have to give my drivers license to buy like Sudafed.

Sorry the original idea didn't pan out. Good luck on the new endeavor!!
> The rule of law should apply to everyone equally. I get that Ed Snowden is a likable guy and the documents he released may even have been a force of positive change in the world, but that doesn't necessarily absolve him of having to face trial. You can't go easy on him just because you agree with his politics.

Its pretty clear the rule of law doesn't apply to our intelligence services. How about you work on that first before going after the little guy?

There's reason to believe that there are other processes that would have to co-occur, like an increase in the extracellular space to allow for clearance of these toxins, AB proteins, etc.
We would be able to think reasonable normally, apparently, assuming the sleeping half doesn't send confusing signals.

There have been quite a bit of research on people with severed brain stems, where the brain halves effectively are cut off from each other and limited to communicating through external senses. In those situations the brain halves are actually exceedingly good at trying to obscure that anything is wrong by making inferences of actions carried out by one brain half that the other one could not possibly have knowledge of.

The bigger problem is that because the brain halves control different parts of the body, we'd likely lose a lot of our physical function.
Should be the other way about as Oberon came before Plan9.

I'm using this too (after suffering all the other supervisors), and I have no clue why runit isn't the standard tool in Linux. Can any Linux expert explain that?
I feel the same about all the intelligence-language ideas which I find pretentious most of the time. 'Look at how incredible we are'. Most of the time these kind of ideas are plain ignorance turned into flattery.

Computers history taught me that high resolution is not needed to achieve complex forms of communications (for instance ascii had 3 level deep structure separator, pretty much ignored). I feel like an 4K version of a fish, sure I may have finer and more complex communication scheme, but that doesn't mean they don't communicate the same idea between each others through different and simpler means.

About voice control, most people don't even understand what they do with it. Ask someone to modulate vowels to match a foreign accent. Or sing. The variations between airflow, tone, timbre, etc... Then you start to understand a bit more about what your vocal apparatus can do.
Sure. I see one in the mirror every morning.
So why does a lion need to sleep for 18 hours then?
This is incorrect information. (... Like so many biology/chemistry comments I see on HN.)

Caffeine is more like an adenine analog, not a cAMP (3'-5' cyclic adenosine monophosphate) analog. It binds adenosine receptors, not primarily cAMP receptors. It has indirect effects on cAMP, but I am not aware of direct ones. Also, your description of cAMP signaling sounds confused, since cAMP is an intracellular second messenger. I am not aware of an extracellular retrograde signaling process for this molecule.

Sorry, and your implication that cAMP is a byproduct of ATP consumption is totally wrong. cAMP is synthesized directly from ATP, a reaction catalyzed by the regulated enzyme adenylate cyclase.
You're missing PIC, AVR and quite a few other architectures that exist in the uC space(and Rust could be a great target for).
"Metrication Matters" (Google TechTalk from 2007)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgtsSM7vN0M

It starts a bit slow but stick with it. I'm currently rewatching it after several years so I'm not sure there is a calculation. I think there is. A lot of the production in the US already is metric so it shouldn't be that expensive.

Remember that everybody else also had to change their (many) measuring systems over to metric. It went remarkably well.

> Non REM Stages 3 and 4: Deep slow wave sleep (SWS)

> REM-sleep when dreams occur

> FFI patients cannot go past stage 1

It appears they are getting sleep, but only stage 1 sleep. That might be what keeps them alive for 9 months. If stage 1 was blocked, I venture to guess their survival duration would be much lower.

The Go specification has them all, though perhaps not in the tabular format you might have liked: http://golang.org/ref/spec#Channel_types Be sure to follow the links through to the "select" statement and the other operations.

Some of what I was discussing is merely implied, rather than spelled out. A spec does not discuss the consequences of failing to implement it. However, if you could imagine a "network channel" somehow making its way into a "select" statement that the programmer expects to, you know, actually work the way the specification says it should, it could be a huge error to discover that your "network channel" actually triple-sent some message before the ACK finally came back or something.
This, more than anything else I have read on the subject (plenty), is the most compelling reason I can see for having a cofounder.

However, solo founders are not necessarily “alone”. Support networks exist outside of business partnerships: friends, colleagues, spouses, mastermind groups, etc. can all help alleviate loneliness.
Don't worry about picking the wrong tools - everybody does that and a CS education won't help.

If you want an informal coding education, I 100% recommend Code Complete [1]. Its an old book but absolutely fantastic. Please give it a try.

If you want to improve your CS education, Google (the company not the search engine) recommends interviewees read Introduction to Algorithms before their interview and do practice problems on Topcoder [3].

There is a lot of good information here, but being a stickler for detail, I found the frequent grammar errors distracting. It seems like with all the self-advertisement conversion signup forms, it would be helpful to have an editor, or a native speaker of the language it's written, go over it.

A screenshot or video will help a lot. I registered and created an ad and still didn't know what the website/service is for. Why doesn't the homepage say it's a link shortener that adds an interstitial with a 15 second countdown and then link to the target page?

In your HN comment you write "Solution: Embed “interstitial” ad space into 3rd party content (e.g. http://lnkplg.co/RGPp)" Perfect, write that on your homepage including the link.
I agree that you should stop complain about anything IT-related in government and instead try to make a change (and complain about, let's say, bogus process of winning government contract)

You might very well be in a different situation to me if your fatigue previously made you sleep more than you necessarily need. For my part I sleep less than average already without taking anything at all, so I might very well be pushing the lower end of the viable long term sleep amounts.

My system for avoiding clutter on desktop is mildly effective. I do all of my hoarding in Evernote - articles, photos, emails, notes, etc.

One degree is 40,000 km / 360 = 111 km at the equator. But Greenwich is at 51 degrees latitude so you apply a cos (51.5°) = 0.622 factor. That's why 1 degree of longitude at latitude 51 is 69 km. Does that help clear it up?

Thanks for the reply. The philosophy for Redux seems to keep the core as agnostic as possible, and that's why getters are outside of core.
