I think in this case geocar is implying that you'd only get an IPv6 address. Since vast portions of the internet aren't available over IPv6 it's not a very useful internet.
Its a 90's RPG that makes fun of other 90's RPGs.

I'm not sure if the "message" of the game is easily translated if you weren't playing JRPGs in the mid-90s. But for example, the "bee" that is dying early on always manages another explanation (should you ask for it).

Its a very dry sense of humor, that would be lost on anyone who hasn't played many 90s era RPGs. Instead of a crazy innovative storyline, it is more of a long comedy sketch that makes fun of other JRPGs.

For example: when you get a "Bike" (fast movement) in the game, you aren't allowed to use it as soon as you get your 2nd party member (only one person can ride the bike at a time, duh). Fast movement is basically a joke in the game. Overall, the game is willing to mess with game mechanics as a joke in of itself.

Example 2: A giant pencil will eventually stop you in your tracks. To get rid of the giant pencil, you need to find the "Pencil Eraser". Get it? Its an eraser... that erases giant pencils. Pun pun pun...

Its more about quirky jokes and humor than overarching plot.
I find it fascinating that content creators consistently underestimate the durability of their work while technologists overestimate the durability of theirs.
can you elaborate on the path of the government funding innovation? (your sentence, "the government will fund something if they consider it innovative" - I'd like to hear more.)

I don't think VC's and angel investors ever directly fund innovation (in fact they're allergic to it until proven by the market) and I would not be opposed to exploring the government route toward funding of these innovative ideas. I think there is an interesting space between projects founders are personally able to finance, and the minimum cash needed to prove innovative ideas of merit in the marketplace. airbnb's binder full of credit cards and 7 rejections show this pretty clearly.[1][2]

what does the government route to innovation look like?

That may be true, but in this context not totally informative, as the Beatles basically invented the modern concept of hugely successful pop stars who wrote their own songs. There was a lot more for publishers to do to earn their money -- namely find people to record the songs in their catalog -- in the prior model. There wasn't really much of a precedent at the time for what would come to be accepted as a fair deal.

I tried to illustrate why I'm excited for this being the FIRST.

Just to challenge your thinking about what comes next:

> kind of just make me roll my eyes. We've been hearing things like that for decades. Is it really going to blur the lines of reality?

Tricking your vision is HUGE to changing your reality. We perceive up to 80 per cent of all impressions by means of our sight.

-=> Give the form factor a couple of years. Every sensor in there is being miniaturized by the day. Magic Leap (and others) are using tricks to project imagery directly onto your retina. Google's already filed

> People also think it will change video games forever, but I honestly don't see how. It improves immersion, but for me, immersion isn't even on the top 10 list of things that I care about in games.

-=> Ok I'll bite, on gaming - Go play Elite Dangerous + DK2 + Motion Sim and tell me that you don't believe you're flying in outer space. It's that good. More accessible, and I bet we see a lot of these, is VR coasters w/motion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcmQr2y5Z88 - another easy one to try is Assetto Corsa + DK2 + driving wheel.

Games are a popular idea about VR's application but doesn't scratch the service in terms of application - training, social interaction, SEX, therapy, etc, etc.
Nice! Now we just need a Dwarf Fortress emoji tileset.
If a being does something bad to another being that it did not need to do with the knowledge that it was bad and unnecessary, then morally that is not ok.

If a being does something that it needs to do in order to survive then that is morally ok, even when that thing is ultimately fatal to other beings.

There is a whole world of options between those positions, of course. We have the equipment to eat other animals because we evolved that way and in the past we needed to do that in order to survive. That we may no longer need to do so is where the moral quandry comes into play.

>> So you're OK with recognizing bad drivers, but you want to force a service to keep contracting with them anyway despite their poor performance?

If you want to put it that way, yes.

Employment rights were hard won and a lot of people, myself included, do not enjoy the likes of Uber undermining them in the name of (slightly) lower prices and (maybe) better service.

As I said elsewhere - in a regular job there would be dialogue with management, chances to improve, formal warnings etc.
I got bored over my holiday vacation. I have hobbies, but I find them less interesting if they're not distracting me from anything.

I'm currently working on a project which makes me jump between Swift and Erlang/Elixir on a regular basis. I actually enjoy Swift's OCD typing, particularly in exchange over not having to maintain those mind-numbingly redundant header files any more.

All in all I feel as if Steve Jobs would have been proud of what the Swift team has accomplished - lots of "great artists steal" in the functional programming department while still being disciplined enough to not go overboard with features and staying true to Apple's design culture in general.

That said the lack of pattern matching really is something I've come to miss too and Elixir application code in general feels much more elegant and almost effortless to read and write in comparison to Swift.

Playgrounds are fun and all but IMHO Joe is very much right - all the cruft, the arcane NeXT "magic spells" as well as the mouse-heavy Xcode dependence should make way for new ways to do things. The kids "ain't stupid" I mean young programmers probably all grow up with some command-line fu, essentially making Unix the new lingua-franca (besides Javascript;) so why not embrace OSX/Darwin and go for something more along the lines of how RubyMotion does things?

Whipping up a simple GUI with a couple of action functions really should come with the least amount of needlessly distracting development abstractions.

It probably would also mean less Apple developer time wasted on the next potentially buggy Xcode feature..

Less is more, but again Apple is getting there, especially now that we might be on a path to more complementary open-source development tooling - so to me, doing Swift with Xcode is super productive and fun already!
Google SBIR, STTR and CRADA. This is how so many of the common technologies that underlie our very way of life were created in the 20th century. Semiconductors, the Internet, database systems, computing in general, etc. etc. etc. People forget the government initially funded so much of the technological foundation of our daily lives through DARPA and other programs, and they are continuing to do so for those willing to take advantage of it.

Slack is really just a rich-text jabber client.

Four New Elements Added to the Periodic Table
If you work from home you have to set boundaries and go out of your way to set the tone. Meaning, everyone knows you are working those hours at that place everyday. When you're not within those hours you're not working, period. This is how I worked from home when I telecommuted.

Being a startup founder now, I don't really find a good balance and my health is suffering. So I'm trying hard to follow my own rules this year. It's tough. There is so much work to do.
I don't disagree it's a decent indicator, it's more the implications for employment rights I don't like.
Ideally Binge On would only apply to the supported video providers, rather than throttling all video. However, there are rather three imperfect approaches to the problem:

1) Hacker's approach: Route all mobile traffic through a VPS/VPN using an OpenVPN client, available on all relevant mobile platforms. This way your mobile provider only sees VPN traffic. This will also bypass HTTP header injection used by Verizon and AT&T for third-party tracking. You won't get the free bandwidth from Binge On, but at least your provider won't be watching your traffic.

2) Active customer approach: Turn off Binge on. The problem here is that the customer won't be able to take advantage of the free video streaming provided by Binge On.

3) Regulatory approach: Have the FCC enforce net neutrality.
I got a big RAM laptop from Lenovo back in 2012 and it is great! I bought the RAM from Crucial, however, because Lenovo charged entirely too much for it.
Product Engineering as a role is also critical in hardware companies, where discipline-focused engineers such as mechanical, electrical, firmware, etc. need to implement the features of the product. Many times, they fall into the trap of making an impressive feature set work and then thinking they can start selling the product.

What is missed are critical design elements such as:

- Cost of materials/assembly

- Power consumption and distribution

- Reliability of the system

- Durability of the system

- Supply chain integrity and robustness

- ...

It seems that a lot of the new robotics companies and many KickStarter projects fall into this trap: under-budget the product development, both in time and resourcing, and release their product prematurely.

This is all quite obvious to people who have participated in successful consumer or enterprise hardware companies, but young companies are still vulnerable. Advice would be to get it all working as a prototype, then, expect another major project of turning it into a Product before releasing.

> how rare? This point was kind of just glossed over.

It varies widely between memory chips, memory controllers, and a variety of other factors.

Not to mention, Rowhammer was first disclosed early last year, and many vendors started shipping BIOS updates to prevent Rowhammer on the memory controller level months ago; additionally the problem has been fixed from the start on DDR4 RAM (the bug has been known to memory vendors before, but not been deemed a security problem, so the fix wasn't applied retroactively to DDR3).

So finding actually exploitable devices now is going to be difficult.
Having tried both the Oculus and Glass, I'd say the Oculus is more exciting. The Glass had about the least capacity a user could tolerate - slow with few pixels. The Oculus is about the most you cram into a wearable, even if you have to pay a lot for it.

It's based on the google calendar api. It serves the purposes of a calendar, todo list, evernote and emacs org-mode as well as being a really pretty time visualizer. The idea is to be able to visualize your time, from the scale of minutes to decades. It also tracks your "focus", that is- which activity held your attention and for how long.

It seems like the asynchronous approach that they take to interviews makes it easier to do more of them.

I usually try to learn/use a language I don't use at work. Then take a leisurely approach to learning the new language. Many times it works. Many times it doesn't. I try to do things I know I won't be doing at work right now. The stuff I do outside of work is just because I'm interested in it. I also workout, watch TV and meet up with friends etc... which involve not being at work mentally.
I didn't see anything wrong with the old logo. Too bad you felt the need to change it.

I'm excited to see the future of VR, but I'm ultimately looking at a $1200-$1500 investment at least for a new computer and an Oculus. I simply don't have the money for that right now especially in the early consumer stages of a product.

I will say that I have tried DK1 and I was extremely impressed with it. That being said, I'll probably jump on this bandwagon in the next 3-4 years.
My graphics company designs for 96GB. But the time the software ships , the high end should be there.
If you are running Windows it makes a huge difference to have an SSD and even if what you are doing is writing Word documents and sending emails and stuff like that the difference is night and day.

I have an old netbook with a single core Atom processor and an SSD that I put in to make it shockproof and it feels incredibly fast compared to an i7 machine I have that seems to take 15 minutes to completely boot.
Making predictions about the adoption of technology is always perilous. However, after using Google's cardboard camera to take a few pictures on vacation and reviewing those pictures afterward I'm a believer. There's something about the immersive nature of those images that provide a very emotional contextual experience. If one is able to experience this with albeit relatively crude technology when compared to offerings like Oculus, I think these products could be very impactful.
The asynchronous text interview seems less expensive in both time and money for Automattic. Perhaps that lets them get away with a higher interview rate?

This. The X220 is still my day-to-day personal laptop, and I've yet to find anything else that's comparable (key feel, small size, durability, ease of service...)
I have so many problems with T-Mobile's Binge On and this is only making it so much worse.

So now it's:

* only providers they deem important enough to give the service to can use it (everyone else just gets their requests ignored)

* it MUST be unencrypted to get the no-data-usage benefits (I might be wrong on this one, i can't find where i read this)

* it needs to be done through a "blessed" app or it's not covered (For example, soundcloud is covered, but soundcloud through a browser is not...)

* video in the service needs to be heavily compressed (with no way of showing the user that this is happening or who is doing it or why it's happening)

* Now it comes out that video not even covered by the service must be heavily compressed... Again with no notification to the end users that this is happening, leaving them to point the blame at the site itself (netflix, youtube, etc...) since all other sites work fine.
What are the user agents?

Only 4G devices?

Does IPv6 speeds up connections? Does it fail more or less?
What is the cost?

A single magical digit for me is no answer.

It is the same reason that makes me dislike the GIEC.

Average are also failing to capture the non linearity of the adoption like "uneven distributions".

I have been working in real science, these figures are lacking everything that makes them serious: methodology, an abstract, estimation of the errors, the limits of the measure, a precise title ...
Are we still trying to make this work? This whole concept is a blight on the online economy.

This sounds like the opinion of someone who hasn't tried VR in any measure. I could be wrong, and maybe you have.

I agree that there is a ceiling of how much VR as a technology can 'blur the lines' of reality, but as someone who has a DK2 - I fully believe that VR is going to be huge in the future. It doesn't feel like you're 'sitting in a chair with a machine strapped to your face'.
Hello,

I sent an email the previous post you made here on HN, but never got a response. I am still very much interested in the position.
I did an internship in a place like that (nothing leaves your office, security clears the building at 5.30), it was the most relaxing summer I had in college I think.
Note: This is after a pre-screen from Matt Mullenweg (Automattic's founder & CEO). Matt only passes on the applications that look good to him. Hence the high ratio.
It's interesting to see how the aggressive tactics of Uber are affecting the automotive industry. Companies are partnering which would have never even talked to each other previously. I'm very curious to see how this whole thing plays out.
Good news for Qubes OS.
May also depend on how they got the resume. People applying in reaction to an ad? Recruiters? The "quality"of the resumes may depend on the source.
That is an exceptionally bad title. I though it wanted me to install an owncloud provided zip package or something.

I spent quite a bit of time on the Urton database in 2006. Would need to dig out the pre/post processing Perl scripts and see a more recent version of the database.

An area that would also be ripe for computational analysis is the texts from Spanish archives that are known to have been sourced from khipu readings. "Pärssinen, Martti & Kiviharju, Jukka. Textos Andinos. Corpus de textos khipu incaicos y coloniales. Tomo I & II" would be a good starting point.

Author here, happy to answer any questions/discuss the recommendations we provided.
I really appreciate this but would really really like it to be ECC ram. That and a nice 2K screen would be a really nice setup.
Durovis Dive was out before Google Cardboard (consumer version of Dive released in November 2013, Google Cardboard was announced in June 2014). Furthermore, there were VR headsets before the Oculus Kickstarter, VR is not a new field, it's just never truly been mainstream before (though it looks likely that it'll breakthrough to the mainstream in 2016).
Boy, I wish my ThinkPad X200s came with an IPS panel. I got the 'high res' screen option (1440x900@12") and the viewing angle is woeful. Using it even in a perfectly optimal position, washout/shift is still noticeable at either the top or bottom of the screen.

In my book, including a garbage-spec panel disqualifies a computer from being a quality product no matter what range it is otherwise part of. Sadly this is (was?) all too common.
Why such a low rate? This seems like it would automatically disqualify any but the most desperate job seekers.

Yes, if you come from functional languages then you might expect to close over values, but I don't think that in general "a closure is expected to close over values". In particular, both Scheme and Common Lisp close over variables, not values.

JavaScript also closes over variables, so it's not just "obscure" languages that behave this way.

Java only allows you to close over variables that are effectively final, to remove confusion on both sides (e.g. why doesn't the value in my closure change when I manipulate the original variable? vs. why does my the value in my closure change when I manipulate the original variable?)
