Don't worry, it was just an amusing and honestly really impractical idea :)

The idea would be to make an educated guess at where each word occurs in the video - going off the time and subtitle data from pysrt - and build a dict linking words to when they occur in the video. You could then use MoviePy and stitch together a video version of the generated dialogue, by looking up the appropriate clip for each word.
Also, were the ideas really that outlandish? Staying in other peoples' homes has been around basically forever. Vacation rentals was even a totally mature market.

@Metaphorm, Good post. A good example of damaging criminals from an Ivy League School is Marc Dreier (Yale for undergraduate studies and then Harvard Law). In the 45 minutes interview "Unraveled", he said there is so much pressure to succeed when you graduate from such top schools that you do all sort of things just to prove you have made it. But then again, you wonder how true that comment is.. :)
This test seems to be mostly about a) familiarity with the song and a little bit about b) knowing the notes that are part of a scale. Several of the "incorrect" melodies could be correct in that the notes played are pretty much all within scale, they're just not the right ones for the song.
There are likely other considerations.

You may not want another nation's ground-based radars tracking your launch, for instance.

Though I suspect that superpower nations have satellites in orbit intended to detect rocket launches, for the obvious nuclear war reasons. They all have an interest in knowing whether the payload is bound for orbit or for ballistic re-entry within their borders.

I think the main concern is that a payload that might fall into the ocean can be guarded by heavily armed naval vessels, whereas one that falls on land might have bits stolen by locals before the soldiers get there, in such a way that no one could be sure whether those bits were destroyed or captured.

Military payloads are also probably more likely to want to be in polar orbits. That doesn't have much to do with launching over the ocean so much as the direction of the launch from California being southward.

Bankrate: Mortgage Rates Hold Steady
I think you're excluding the abuse of prescription drugs (and for that matter alcohol) in your assessment with the 70% and 7.5% numbers, which are very important -- they are the drugs which haven't been the victims of a concerted and well-funded aggressive propaganda campaign by social conservatives spanning many years to demonize the drugs.

I think your point about drinking and driving isn't quite accurate: I think if you refine your definition of drinking and driving in both survey results about actions and survey results about laws you may find different results: many people have drank a couple of beers before driving home; fewer have driven blackout drunk. Most agree the latter should be illegal, but the first? A more appropriate analogy would be, instead of suggesting we ban drunk driving (a universally laudable goal to ban not a substance but a particular misuse of it), how many Americans do you think would say alcohol should be illegal? I'd say on the order of zero.

You need to understand survey results in the context of the previously mentioned propaganda campaign: people don't quite exactly say what they really believe in the face of this, they say what they have been conditioned to believe in some sense. We need to look at their actual actions and provide context for the responses from them in terms of what they do. If someone really believes marijuana should be illegal, they won't try it or use it. Similarly with the harder drugs. We are slowly undoing the damage that has been done to this country with the anti-drug campaigns but it takes time; marijuana is the beginning. It's not really fair to say Americans are actually anti-drug after such an effective brainwashing session.

Also all of your points are based on survey results: and when it comes to drugs what people say they do or want and what they actually do or want are quite distinct. I don't think relying on them is reasonable: instead to get some accurate proportion we'd need to look at the drugs coming in and do some calculus based on how they are distributed among the population.

As to 'WWOOF', any organization that continues to perpetuate the myth that 'organic' means anything of value to anyone is one I'm never going to like.

Yeah, let's cover our food with natural fertilizers that are less effective, sometimes dangerous, and more likely to run off into rivers and cause ecological damage, just so someone can think they are gaining something while spending more. Great.

How should I deal with discouragement as a graduate student?
There are classes where a lot of people get A's. But I have a first hand experience to tell you that it's not easy. Just because majority got an A in a very small number of classes, does not disregard equal number of classes where majority fights for a C. It also does not say that people getting A's did not work their asses off.

Grade inflation does happen in some courses. But it's not easy and is far from a joke.

In the article you mentioned, the average is A-. Which means half of the smartest people recruited off from high school struggled to make it to 90 average, even after worrisome inflation. At worst, that's a 5-7% grade inflation.
Darpa Dabbles with Software Obfuscation Solutions
Ask HN: Best Mac OS X Password Manager
I currently use Keychain / iCloud, 1Password, and Stickies to manage my passwords. Because one tool doesn't handle everything. (For instance, I put the "2FA" stuff like my first pet's name in Stickies.) Which I imagine is less secure than having just one solution.

Is it reasonable to expect these solutions to converge? Now that Apple Safari has content blocking hooks, I fantasize they'll add hooks for suggesting passwords and filling out forms. So that Safari and 1Password aren't clobbering each other.

Instead of managing passwords, I'd like some kind of key exchange, a la ssh. Is that on the horizon?

Adrian Wong, the Google Glass Engineer Who Defected to Facebook, Rejoined Google
I grew up in a Chinese household, and I swear, Chinese people are way too obsessed with university branding. It's not even about quality of education, it's a cultural status phenomenon. If you take 10 mothers, the dick size of each one is directly proportional to the US News (yes, specifically US News) ranking of the university of her child. And if Timmy, some random kid in school, had a 2380 SAT, then as a fellow Chinese kid, you'd hear about it somehow.

Thankfully my parents weren't this crazy, but I've seen Chinese families spend thousands on SAT preps, or parents discouraging their kids from playing sports to chase a 4.4 GPA. I hear it's even worse in areas like Cupertino.

I mean, I respect the pusuit of education, but this obsession with college is a poisonous byproduct. Those kids aren't even better off after college anyways. It's all pride. Look at Jack Ma. 22.5 Billion dollars, and Harvard is still like Gatsby's Daisy to him.

You actually prove his point more than anything. The German Empire was very short lived in part because it attempted to impose a political order onto a variety of ethnicities. The policy of germanizing these groups, Kulturkampf and its associated so-called 19th century Ostsiedlung (of "Drang nach Osten" fame) went hand in hand with the imperial drive to assimilate and subjugate its members culturally and religiously. The resulting resentment contributed to WWI. Despite certain national undertones during WWII, the major cause for WWII was imperial in nature, i.e., the attempt at reestablishing the German Reich, this time across Europe, as well as the expansion of the Russian Empire in the form of the Soviet Union which likewise tried to eradicate conquered nations and ethnicities in order to create a Soviet people (what some sarcastically call Homo Sovieticus). They failed. The latter, which managed to live on for another 50 years after WWII, failed in part because the idea of the Soviet people as buckling under the seething pressure of national and ethnic difference and consciousness.

That seems to play into the parent's point though:

* Not-so-exceptional people are not granted admission
* Exceptional people are demonstrably exceptional even before admission

There is no path for unexceptional people to find exceptional success by simply going to the right school, like certain interest groups want you to believe. The flaw is thinking that academia and business are supposed to be intertwined at all, of course. They are completely separate institutions for a reason.

There are avenues such as taking project based classes in the area you want to start something, doing an independent study, working on senior research in field one wants to work in. You can do what Google guys did in senior thesis time.

But I agree, it would be nice to have a guided entrepreneur-track independent study style option. Or at least a more startup-friendly environment and outlook in departments.

I thought this was a bit of marketing genius on Porsche's part to capture some media attention. I saw a lot of headlines that read "New Porsche charges twice as fast as a Tesla".

Of course there are two caveats: (1) the new Porsche doesn't quite exist yet, but also (2) I think Tesla could fairly easily respond with the same charge time.

As I understand it, Superchargers skip the Tesla's onboard chargers (that normally do AC to DC conversion) and use their own array of chargers working in parallel to deliver direct current right to the battery as fast as it can take it.

So it feels like Tesla could provide 800V chargers with little to no modification needed to the cars. Does that sound right? I know they've been experimenting with higher voltage chargers.

That's why I think we should elect officials on a local level, then send the winner to state to compete against the other local winners in the state, then on to the national level. After the local level everything is funded by taxes and highly regulated to attempt to give everyone a fair chance.

I think it would highly diversify the elections and give the people more of a sense of power. A local election is a lot easier to run than a national one.
Military spending creates a large number of jobs, allows claims of being patriotic, and hence creates votes. Social programs are very large as well and there is enough spending there as well to generate jobs and create votes.

Space, not so much. Refocus the young from the Kardashians to space and eventually we might sway politicians. For the most part I think commercial exploitation of space is more likely once the money factor works itself out. Then science can hitch rides and have more interest in it as commercial interest increase awareness

Life as a Digital Nomad
Every college and university has a strong incentive to attempt to select the best applicants. It is safe to assume that the best schools have thought a lot about how to pick the best candidates and it is also safe to assume that the administrations have figured out criteria that highly correlate to future applicant success.

I did not grow up in a big city. I grew up in a place where a state degree from a good college was enough to show aptitude and I did not understand the value of attending and paying for a school like Harvard. Now that I am older, I have moved to a few big cities and currently live in SF. Unfortunately, in SF, having a Harvard degree is pretty standard / common and people that did not attend a 'top university' are regularly passed over for funding (YC) and positions at top companies etc.

I understand why. If I am a hiring manager and everyone in the world is applying to my company, I might as well pick people who went to Harvard / MIT / Stanford. But... it does mean that a decision someone made when they were 17 years old will keep them out of a lot of interviews regardless of how successful they were after they attending XYZ state college.

I attended a state college 15 years ago that most people on the west coast do not pay much attention to. I have now worked at some of the top companies in the world and I have noticed a really, really strong pattern.

People who attended no name schools and worked to get an offer at a great company are typically the best performers at the next company.

If I were looking to hire / fund someone, I would always look favorably on those that attended a top institution, then had a track record of success. In addition to the 'standard' applicant, I would look really hard at those that attended a lower tier school and 'outperformed' their peers.

> I think Harvard would still reject him, he doesn't seem to fit in with what a "Harvard Man" is.

I disagree for a simple reason- suppose Harvard could go back in time and reject Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg, or Stanford could reject Sergey Brin and Larry Page- do you think they would?

Of course not, even though you'd be hard-pressed to suggest that they were great fits for their programs since they dropped out after their first year. The reason is that unicorn students like that give those schools a huge amount of mystique, not to mention press, which adds a lot more to their image than most doctors, lawyers, or consultants could.

"Technically Speaking" = Political Double Talk

I know I will continue to be down voted BUT you need to get into politics. Because you are arguing the whole sentence "MOSH is a replacement for SSH." Means It is NOT a replacement? Argument is it has SSH as a requirement so "technically" it isn't replacing SSH, even though based on precise facts it actually does kill SSH and replace it when it is used? The authors of MUSH clearly make a one sentence statement of purpose to "replace SSH." Your statement "It isn't a replacement for SSH." is more correct?

It does have SSH required but it uses it for a limited authorization and than SSH on TCP is abandoned once the connection established and the connection is handed over (Replaced) to a MOSH UDP with encryption that is totally independent from SSH.

Makes me crazy that "technically" always means I will say the EXACT opposite of the statement and say that my opposite is more accurate than the stated statement.

This statement is technically true based on facts and declaration of the authors. MOSH is a mobile shell that replaces SSH connections. It doesn't matter that SSH is there the SSH connection is replaced with a UDP MOSH connection. Does it in literal sense in its actions.
Hijacking this thread for a download question.

Currently, to download a file you click on the link and the browser pushes the data to the native (not sandboxed) file system. Your code does not see any of the data.

Instead of an automated download, is there a way, on a user initiated download request to just get a handle to a native file (not sandboxed) and populate the native file yourself. Ideally we could then implement a faster download with multiple range requests against multiple storage end points. Or make other custom browser side transformations on the data.
Prefers it, sure, but a great craftsman could build a better house using only manual tools than I could using any tool I want in the same amount of time.

Also note that a carpenter building a house probably wouldn't choose the most powerful tools (tower crane, etc) even if financials were taken out of the equation.

It doesn't make much sense to compare go's standard toolchain to building a house without power tools. What an IDE gets you over a more unix-like toolchain is integration, nothing more. They have all the same capabilities, but an IDE is designed to make a specific prescribed workflow seamless. There simply is no good analogy for this, carpenters don't have a universal tool that acts as a nailgun, drill, power screwdriver, wrench and saw at the same time.

Kowtowing to the lowest common denominator shouldn't be done lightly. We are on a site called Hacker News, after all.
I acknowledge that this is an imperfect, perhaps fatally flawed, metric - I'm sure it skews young, for example. Something I noticed after posting is that Rand Paul isn't on the linked list (and is barely holding on in polls), but has 2 million FB follows. But who knows, I could see him picking up as the fields starts winnowing.

But I think it's fair to characterize Jeb's numbers as indicative of low interest. There are a ton of people on Facebook in demographics that Jeb needs to do well in to win. To stereotype (using known statistics), white males in their 30's tend to vote Republican - there are plenty of those on Facebook and I see them "sharing" conservative links every day (and I can see that many have followed guys like Carson and Paul). In our increasingly "filter bubbled" world, I think we're seeing people aggressively tune out milquetoast establishment types (on the right at least).
