Apply HN: Horde.tv – Live stream any show or YouTube video
prototype: http://www.horde.tv

15 second gif walkthrough: http://i.imgur.com/7AGRMnF.gifv

Why:

Live streaming is everywhere (Livecoding, Meerkat, etc), and the interactive experience of watching live + realtime chat is great. But all these apps focus on live broadcasts when there are so many existing videos that would be exciting to watch with a live audience (ie: Bob Ross on Twitch). Not to mention, these existing videos tend to have much higher production value, compared to some live streams on periscope and others.

We’ve created a site where anyone can create a live channel of their favorite videos. Everyone is synced to the same second of the video as it plays so you can chat in realtime. Videos are embedded directly from YouTube and Vimeo (original creators still benefit from YouTube ads and revenue).

Growth:

We’ve partnered with a handful of popular YouTubers to create their own live channels from their YouTube videos. Many YouTubers love the idea of increasing viewership and having a chance to showcase their videos to a live audience.

Who’s behind it:

We’re a team of two engineers who have worked on several apps together. Hobby YouTuber with over 15 million views.

Progress:

We’ve built the prototype and are launching it for the first time right now. Neither of us are UI designers so please excuse the mess :) we’re open to comments & suggestions! Or you can email us: hello@horde.tv

TLDR: Horde lets you watch youtube videos and tv shows like you’re watching a tv channel (with realtime chat).

MS Office exploit analysis – CVE-2015-1641
That's fair, absolutely if you put it that way then yeah MVPs are much more frequent.

I think I see the experiments you're doing more as internal development. I.e. I run bits of my code dozens of times a day to make sure it's working (or not), which I see as analogous to running bench experiments.

Also, I'm thinking more about traditional pharma biotech where you can run tons of experiments but the drug has to be put into people at some point and there's actually a lot that can go wrong there that can't be easily forecast. The only time you get hints at whether your drug is "viable" is when you're in clinical trials and even then until succeeding in Phase III there's a ton of potentially catastrophic risk.

For the record I was a bench biochemist for the better part of a decade, so under no circumstances do I mean to denigrate bench science.

You'll be a lot healthier, therefore feel a lot better, if you go to the nice grocery store (not the discount store or walmart) and buy the pre-made fancy salads, the ones with meat protein and dressing and all the stuff ready to eat in the plastic box. They're cheap, taste great, incredibly fast, reasonably filling, and keep in the fridge a couple days until they're questionable.

If you're not leaving the house a minimum of every other day you're probably doing something wrong right there. If your commute doesn't go past a nice grocery store, again, a sign you're doin life wrong.

They'll have names like "Asian style cashew chicken salad" or "cobb salad" or whatever. Just open the box, dump the sauce glop on top, shovel down, and you're done.

I must have eaten thousands of those things, no exaggeration, when I was going to school and working two jobs at the same time. I bet they were 75% of my calories around exam week.

The only thing worse than being stressed all the time would be being stressed and fat, or stressed and sick, or all three.
If the `someRuntimeVariable` is statically evaluate-able, then some compilers (uglifyjs, for instance) support limited inline evaluation at compile time, which could be enhanced by community effort.

If not, then it won't :) But you still would have the same benefits when requiring stuff with plain string literals, and additionally you'd have the freedom to require dynamic stuff on the cost of lesser optimizations. You don't lose anything.
And if Vim or Emacs couldn't do soft line wrapping, you'd have a point.
The Voyage is closer to "Paperwhite 1.1" than the Oasis if you want to go down that route, but what it is is a new product in the Kindle family. Just like the Paperwhite was a new Kindle product, and the Voyage, and even the Kindle Touch. They all improve over the previous flagship model, but are fundamentally different in some regard (Kindle Touch - touchscreen, Paperwhite - backlight, Voyage - premium materials/capacitive page turning/first 300ppi screen, Oasis - longer battery life and new form factor) and are sold in parallel for a long time.

Just because it has backlighting doesn't automatically make it the successor to the Paperwhite or even an incremental improvement. There is literally one already: the newest generation Paperwhite which has the same 300ppi screen as the Voyage and Oasis and improved backlighting in the same form factor than the 1st generation Paperwhite. It's still being sold, it'll probably still be sold and improved on for many years to come and I can even see it becoming the new "basic" device from Amazon.

That's how Amazon does Kindles - multiple lines of products which are differentiated from eachother in some way or another. You can even see this with last year's Voyage. They released it, it looks like a premium Paperwhite, but then they came and brought some of the features like the 300ppi screen back to the Paperwhite. The Paperwhite didn't go anywhere, it was still sold, and it's still being sold now.

If anybody remembers "PlayFun" by Tom7 (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~tom7/mario/), which learns playing NES games by locally trying to optimize a bunch of objective functions based on lexicographical ordering of the bytes of the NES Ram. That system probably would've found the easter egg, because it can look into the future to find the best moves. Tom7 did try Punch-Out, but his AI-player lost the game before reaching the bosses mentioned in the easter egg: https://youtu.be/YGJHR9Ovszs?t=4m39s
Would love to use it!

Keep constantly catching myself on the idea that having this kind of search would be so much of use and then here you are.

Good luck, upvote!
Linux kernel magic. It is called IFB. Check this explanation at the FireQOS tutorial: https://github.com/firehol/firehol/wiki/FireQOS-Tutorial#con...
It's more like the method of drawing the blood was thought to be the problem. A venous draw is going to be pretty clean, in that whatever tissue got stuck in the aperture of the needle is going to be dwarfed by the quantity of blood taken; I've read that the actual assaying machines use very little of the blood, which makes sense because the reagents used are expensive, plus to the extent you're using optical scanning to read the results (what else might you use?), thinner will tend to be better (note most of the preceding is WAGs on my part from basic principles).

Whereas a fingerstick produces a few drops of blood that flow to the surface moving past the tissue and cells that were cut getting to the blood vessels, and they'll contribute unrelated proteins, lipids from cell membranes, etc. etc. On its face, many many people have said this is so problematic real evidence that it worked was needed; heck, even a theory would have been nice, but neither were forthcoming.

We've opened up access so anyone can create a channel. It's pretty easy: just pick a channel name and add videos.

Here are some live channels we created from our favorite shows:

VSauce, Numberphile, Veritasium: http://www.horde.tv/channels/mind-blowing-science

Interviews from Startup School: http://www.horde.tv/channels/startup-interviews

TEDx: http://www.horde.tv/channels/ted-talks
Lots of things are quick, simple and painless, but also utterly useless. If the labs don't work, how did they prove it could be all of those things?

I like public prices and a nice phone app, but that's completely peripheral to the actual objective of real, reliable, verifiable medical data.
Who gets to decide where the US's nose belongs? I am with you that we should never support these knuckleheads like Bin Laden (which we are doing a-freaking-gain with the Syrian resistance), but it certainly has felt a lot like damned if you do, damned if you don't with the US. We get involved in some way and everyone yells that we shouldn't be and if we don't get involved everyone yells that we aren't helping.

Saying that "America's disastrous history of foreign intervention IS THE CAUSE OF ALL OUR PROBLEMS TO DATE" is pretty silly. I bet most of Asia and Europe are pretty darn happy that we intervened during WWI and WWII and I'd be willing to bet that most South Koreans are pretty happy that we intervened during the Korean War lest they be subjects of that little, fat megalomanic Kim Jong Un. Do you disagree with those interventions? If so well then I guess we are done here because we will never agree on anything. If not, then what is the deciding factor on when to get involved and when not to get involved?

The fact of the matter is that we rely on oil from the middle east and we are always going to get involved there because it is in our national interests. Until we have zero reliance on foreign oil that isn't going to change. It would certainly be wonderful if everyone just kept to themselves and we didn't get involved with anything, but that isn't practical. The problems in that area of the world really have very little to do with the US. They have been fighting in the middle east for all of recorded history. Certainly longer than the US has been a nation. Our involvement hasn't helped anything, but I am increasingly of the opinion that nothing will help things over there.
Indeed. This looks a lot more like a high profile investor using his audience to litigate the issue in the court of public opinion and dragging some guys name (who may or may not have a claim to Cruise) through the mud.

Personally, I've seen in the past people who have contributed significantly to projects which later became successful and did not reap the rewards of their work because of, among other things, harassment via the legal system. IMO, this doesn't look good for sama.
Rrtr Is Dead, Long Live React Router
We're into semantics here. Portable requiring a CPU shim vs portable not requiring one. More complicated cpu/bus interfaces require the first one but if you can just use volatile for IO as done in embedded work you get much smaller and/or faster code.

If a device has registers that are sensitive to multiple read/writes of the same address and ones that need caching and write combining for performance in the same 4K page then it was designed poorly. :)

PCI bridges need to support legacy mode. Otherwise DOS programs and drivers wouldn't run correctly. The BIOS sets up a compatibility MTRR setup for this reason and you can see the Linux kernel print it out on boot.

So I'm basically agreeing and disagreeing with you on this one. Once the hardware gets past a certain complexity you need to move from volatile to accessor functions/macros.
Kind-of off topic I guess, but we were just visiting an aquarium in Seaside OR a couple weeks ago, and they famously have an octopus in the tank, with no top on it that you can stand next to and watch it swim around.

While we were there, it was dancing for us, speeding across the tank like I'd never seen. He really looked like he'd love to be free. So the question had to be asked, "What if he wants to get out?"

The aquarium attendant told us something in the vein of, if he gets out, he gets out. If he wants to be free, he will get free.

I thought that was an interesting answer, though I'm still not sure how I feel about it. I can tell you that if it tried to get free while I was there, I'd probably get the heck out of the aquarium. It resembled an alien, and I'm afraid of most giant things from the sea.
The human part of any process will also eventually fail, and it's much more difficult to fix human bugs. Better to shoot for full automation.
I always like Google's serious attitude towards engineering, even after they have made some mistakes, they never try to hide anything.
In addition to the large requirement set that would have to be decided on that was mentioned elsewhere, it would probably be held back given the large hurdle involved in securing such a field. I'd imagine most of the teams would be apprehensive to be the first try to tackle that. Especially given that it will end up being reimplemented a bunch of times across browser platforms. It just sounds like introducing a large new attack surface.

Sometimes I feel we are precariously positioned at the tip of human achievement. I think we're lucky that the earth is abundant in resources to make up for our mistakes.
I would not put the original AirBnB into the lifestyle business category, but the non-profit category. If you look at how many people use AirBnB to share an air mattress in their living room to strangers it was an idea that would never have made money. It was only when they pivoted to their current approach that they became a huge success.

Actually AirBnB is a good example of how you can solve the chicken and the egg problem with networks. Because real estate rentals are local, it is possible to bootstrap a strong network in a geographically small location and then scale out. All the successful network businesses out there have used a similar approach (Uber, Facebook, etc).
If I started thinking about it too much, I'd probably become a vegetarian. So I refrain from thinking about the topic, which probably isn't a great idea, because then I remember all of the moral atrocities committed in the 1800s under the name of "not thinking about it too much" or "that's just the way it is".

I'm not saying we should be entirely complacent, but the response from the western world since 9/11, and ongoing, has been insane, and has caused more civilian deaths than any terrorist attack could ever cause.

Devices like this, or indeed body scanners, just add to the security theatre that makes corporations money and allows our politicians to further continue the narrative of fear that allows them to get away with almost anything.

I'll say it: if I were in a position to take his investment, this post would give me serious, serious pause.

To be clear, I'm all about transparency and talking about things like this in the open, but not like this. There's a lot we need to talk about as an industry, but this doesn't help.
I ask in the interview. A lot of companies are willing to share. It's a small red flag if they won't or can't tell you.
The existing solutions that the JS community had created were insufficient.

CommonJS is anything but - the synchronous loading and node-style resolution doesn't work well over a network, and the scoping doesn't work out-of-the-box in a browser. I wish node had just discovered and used AMD-style modules.

AMD is pretty great for what it is, IMO. It's minimal, it works (without transpilation!), and it's pretty easy to understand how and why given the language and environment it's defined for. I'm kind of sad that it "lost" to CommonJS. Still, the syntax (even though given JS, it really just falls out) isn't preferable, and it's still imperative, which makes tooling more difficult.

Modules give a better syntax than either CommonJS or AMD, with asynchronous loading that works on a networks, and imports and exports are declarative so that tools are easy to write.

Tree-shaking and static analysis are only possible with CommonJS/AMD if you strictly limit them to declarative-style use: imports at the top-level only, exports as a literal, etc. Deviate from that and tools trip up. In that case, it's better to have a new, clear, declarative-only syntax.
Or everyone else is just stealing the playbook, and consumers really don't care where the content comes from.

Readers of clickbait presumably get to such pages from social shares aimed to grab a click, and probably have no loyalty to the site producing the clickbait.
Why was this not discovered in due diligence with YC and VCs? Or did Kyle never mention this former cofounder in their fundraising discussions?

I understand Cruise raised over $17M of capital through two rounds, plus the accelerator. In theory that is three stages of due diligence from well-regarded firms in silicon valley who either missed this deal-breaker or gave the wrong advice.

VCs involved included Spark Capital, SV Angel, Felicis Ventures, Signia Venture Partners, Founder Collective, Quotidian Ventures, AME Cloud Ventures, Initialized Capital, Y Combinator, Homebrew Ventures, Maven Ventures, Zillionize, and Flight VC.

I found it curious that this Bot is really bad at recognizing apes: chimpanzees and gorillas specifically.
I fed it a lot of the images from a Google image search for these animals and more often than not it either doesn't recognize anything or considers them bears.

I don't mean to offend, but I'm left wondering if the creators of image recognition services disincentivize their neural nets from recognizing something as an ape, gorilla or chimpanzee so as to avoid the same mistake Google made when it falsely recognized black people as gorillas [1].

Completely agree with this.

I used to marvel/sob quietly at how an entire PhD/lifetime's work could be summarized into a single sentence in a given textbook, but human's single greatest advantage is that we can absorb other people's knowledge and wisdom orders of magnitude faster than it took them to acquire it.

A given human life is finite in length and that length is relatively narrow in distribution. We are able to progress as a race as we don't have to waste time relearning how to start fire or engineer a wheel from first principles, much less derive calculus in the absence of other knowledge. If only we could find ways to teach current maths at a younger age, we would faster raise the next generation of mathematicians!
Note with respect to scalability you're only asking for one order of magnitude. Technologically we've advanced far more than one order of magnitude in the 15 years they've been developing the system, so we NIH'd it and started development here, there should be no technological limit.
Given that there are public images with your face in them and name connected to them, that can be searched by a neural net... Yes.
I don't know anything about the dispute. Sam Altman sounds genuinely angry. That said, I thought YC would alwready have in place strict agreements, especially mandatory arbitration clauses, when they dole out the money?

As to settling, I think about this farmer who was sued by Monsanto for stealing intellectual property.

He, and his wife had a dream of a small organic farm somewhere in the south. They were situated next to a big farm that used Monsanto seeds. Pollen from the adjacent property blew onto his property/crop. Monsanto took some of his corn crop and looked for their patented genes. They found some. (I'm unclear of the science behind their claim. I didn't think just pollen from the Monsanto field could take over an entire separate crop of plants?)

Anyways, the young couple wanted to vociferously fight the suit. Within weeks they were pretty much beaten up by Monsanto lawyers, detectives, and henchmen (paid witnesses).

His neighbor's reluctant advice was unless you want to spend a half million defending your innocence; just settle the Monsanto suit.

They have enough money to keep you in court for years. The neighbor didn't even want to be seen with the guy--Monsanto has detectives in the area, and supposedly keep detailed logs on these farmers.

And this is exactly why, 11 years ago, I set up Famipix (www.famipix.com).
Thanks for that -- I had no idea it could be taken that way. I meant for it to come across as, "Here's something exciting and new." I'll look into changing that; I definitely don't want to come across as disrespectful. Thanks again.
A human might have difficulty recognizing a Mazda 3 on a rainy night as well. You can adjust color temperature and white balance in post-processing, or film a couple minutes at night too. Point is, generating 7k images is not insurmountable, especially in this case with the criteria that it only has to recognize a particular car.
Compared to whom? China? Where they kill endangered pangolins so they can grind-up their scales and sprinkle it on their dicks because some moron centuries ago said it was an aphrodisiac?

Amazon is not really much like a mall; insofar as any brock.and mortar analogy is applicable, it's more like a retail store where some of the items on the shelf are sold on consignment for third parties, while some are regular first-party retail. Which isn't an entirely unheard of thing, though in brick and mortar it's probably more common for antiques, etc., rather than new consumer goods.
First of all congratulations on a) the science (built on the shoulder of giants...) b) the accessibility / interface and service

Wondering if you plan to open up a caption API of any sort? Can definitely use something like this. If you desire the training feedback, then that could be added as well as part of the API. I'd be willing to do that for some images. So if you do add a training feedback API, please make it optional.
This is a good movie plot, it just has one huge plot hole:

DC rush hour? Moving cars? Please. Independence Day made me suspend less disbelief.
> Even if Jeremy had signed a stock agreement, he wouldn’t have reached the standard 1-year cliff for founders to vest any equity.

How is someone not fulfilling hypothetical terms of an agreement that doesn't exist an argument that they don't have a claim? "Furthermore, had they signed an agreement stating that they wouldn't get compensation, they wouldn't get compensation. Therefore, they shouldn't get compensation."
I get the impression that LinkedIn is increasingly how people get jobs. A few people joined my team recently with very in-demand skills and it seems they were mostly hired through LinkedIn.

One guy in particular has a very long and detailed CV on his profile that he always keeps up to date. He also claims to have coached several friends to do the same, and they all started receiving better quality job offers almost immediately (he claims). He's a smart guy who seems genuinely interested in helping people so I have no particular reason to doubt him.

I think LinkedIn's value as a general business networking tool is pretty low, but for finding jobs it seems to be becoming more and more important.

Maybe the answer is only to activate your profile when job hunting.
