This article doesn't make the connection, but it's an interesting hypothesis to assume that all cold blooded creatures that were big couldn't maintain their body temperature after a drop in temperature from a comet impact, but that creatures that were small already were better in coping with fluctuations because of their smaller size.
It would, but the size would be impractical and it's too costly. Quick estimate, let's assume we need 10W for 10 seconds, that's 100 Joule of energy. The energy stored in a capacitor is 0.5CV^2. Say we use a 10V capacitor then C = 2 Farad. They exist, but they are very large (look them up on amazon for instance). You'll probably need more like twice the capacity though because it's impossible to extract all energy from the capacitor, and it's lossy to convert it to a constant +5V / +12V.

Apply HN: Tutorack – Find teachers and courses for everything you want to learn
We are developing an app to let you search and find tutors, institutes, online courses, videos, articles, books, etc. for anything you want to learn - from physics & deep learning to dance & guitar.

While similar services exist, they restrict users in what they can search for (only offline tutors or just online courses or just academic subjects) and are mostly listing based services where they charge tutors to list their names. We want to keep it free for the users, including people who list as a teacher, and earn through advertising, affiliate marketing.

We already have a working product at www.tutorack.com - however, it still needs a lot of data.

Ultimately, we want to create an ecosystem where its super simple for people to sign up and share their knowledge of niche areas. For eg. if you have specialized knowledge in battery technology, maybe you can sign up as a tutor and people interested in learning about this can get in touch with you. This is especially important for countries like India where affordable and accessible education is a big problem. Even with much more educational content being produced, effective discovery remains an unsolved problem.

Happy to answer questions and get feedback - thank you.

After reading the original doc, by the style used and some slang (although it could be on purpose), I would say the author is from Chile.

I'm glad to find people that still fight the system in this side of the world.
Definitely this. It also allows the codebase to evolve as the languages, platforms and frameworks come and go.
The breeding strategies of this species might be having an effect on its gender ratio, as well as its conservation status. Males in other species of the pig family have been observed to be solitary at maturity. This solitary life may find aggressive males confronted with human populations, leading to their individual deaths, and thus contributing to the gender skew and increasing species endangerment.
Hey, just watched the demo, looks very useful! Do you mobile (iOS/Android) versions of the product too? Cause usually I am struggling to find relevant docs on the email on my phone when running errands and Vaultedge would be perfect for that. :)

Web needs domain-specific declarative languages that are oriented toward non-programmers. W3C is often painted as a villain of some kind when it comes to HTML5, but it's important to remember that there are different working groups and some of those groups were working on specifications that were sound, but never got browser support.

In any case monopoly is bad. People are writing frameworks and languages that transpile to JS because they are not happy with the default option. In addition to more general VM there also should be a more robust standard library, that any language targeting it will have access to.
Because "mega" is ambiguous. It can mean different things.
Not OP but I found Lollipop pretty laggy and that it didn't add much I wanted, most of Google's updates come via Play now anyway. So also no reason to upgrade to Marshmallow either.
I think the combination of such aptitude combined with the will to change the world for the better, is more rare than those two attributes alone.
Ah yes, the old "I do it because everyone else does it" excuse. It's not the system that's broken, it's every individual politician who chooses to follow that path. "You won't make it in industry X unless you do Y" is pure self-serving bullshit.
You can find answer to this easily enough. Some at Google were pushing Dart, read reaction to that from Mozilla, Apple and Microsoft.

To borrow an example from here in Zambia. In the 1960s Zambia used to have a textile industry that produced clothes sold in the region. That's disappeared because it couldn't compete with cheap imports from Asia and second-hand clothes from the west. A bit of protectionism would be required to get that industry started again, and with enough investment, it could eventually hopefully become competitive without protectionism.
OP should provide a source for their statement. But if you want to go this way, their LinkedIn profile shows they never worked for Uber.

Just by following the flow of the money between wallets? Assuming that at least one of the wallets can be connected to an identity, guessing that the others belong to the same person shouldn't be too difficult, just by observing transaction patterns.
Most programmers, and especially the hipsterish HN crowd, simply cannot be trusted to write correct file manipulation code. In general, anything they produce will be riddled with race conditions and erroneous assumptions (e.g., that rename works cross-device, that close cannot fail) and that breaks in rare but possibly catastrophic circumstances.

The solution is copy-on-write file systems such as ZFS and Btrfs that ensure neither data nor meta-data are ever altered in-place and the reuse of correct file manipulation code (written by adults) rather than rolling your own, either from a library or something higher-level like SQLite.

Well said. There is really no need in buying Apple computer only to run Linux. You are wasting money. But I find OS X really enjoyable! Used it for more than ten years, it has quirks, it can be really annoying at the times, but it is the only system that gives you everything in terms of commercial software that is widely used in various industries and UNIX environment.
Not much market for them. For most applications, you're better off using a SoC with a built-in GPU and running your user interface code on the built-in CPU core(s).

It's a chicken and the egg problem. If the population is denser, than public transport systems like light rail, become cheaper and more effective. If the amount of people within 1km (i.e. walkable distance) of a light rail system doubles, then people are closer to a train station and it's potential customer base has increased.

HackingTeam latest sample is a very fresh sample compared with what we got in the past, it is a sample created post July 2015 hack, and it’s using the same code base as before. HackingTeam is still alive and kicking but they are still the same crap morons as the email leaks have shown us.

On one hand: That's a really good point. Thanks.

On the other hand: Everything can now steal my data "just" so adverts can be shown. Really?!

To me that's more outrageous than the original points I listed. My device and my data are left permanently insecure, all to protect their adverts. Even though I purposefully don't use applications with in-built advertising (because they can't be trusted with permissions), I can't easily turn this off.

This really makes my phone suddenly feel like "A rented device who's main purpose is to deliver advertisements to me" instead of "Owned device that helps me managed my life and communicate".

> its a difficult business decision for Google

It's a really easy business decision: User security, user privacy and user control are king. If each application wants to tie "functionality working" along with "internet access" and "advert was displayed" than each application can implement that for themselves. It's not hard.

That this is all baked into the actual OS instead with no (easy/toggle) method of user override is nuts.

Worst thing in 1984 was not surveilance but rewriting the truth. You can't have progress if you are not open and honest.

An IP based voting system is very easy to elude. Especially one without the need of creating an account. A Torguard[1] account at this point in time gives me 123 IP addresses + 7 I have available (home, office, VPS, other-office) it's 127 votes. Putting together a script that launches OpenVPN, votes and repeats is trivial.

Lobbying was made legal because it was (and will) happen regardless of legality. With legality, it can be documented and the details publicly released. If we made it illegal, it will just go back to being an "under the table" thing and we won't know who has been bought by whom.

Do I think lobbying (as a system) needs to be fixed/changed/altered/tweaked? Most definitely. But making it outright illegal is like making drug use illegal, people are still going to do it regardless. At least with it being legal, we can keep tabs and utilize harm reduction when necessary.
Smaller vehicles will be far more practical in an automated taxi model as well.

No one wants to own a single person car, because even a single person wants to be able to carry passengers if they need to. But lots of people will be making single person journeys all the time, so it makes sense for a taxi company to own them.

>complete dunces

You've probably got to be quite bright academically to get in but if you look at how their compensation works they mostly get a cushy job with a high salary paid for by a 2%/year or so charge on funds invested. Performance fees on exit are years away. So if they can say to investors "we're in all the hot starups like color.com" it works if the investors throw in billions even if the startups are disasters. So they may be dunces at understanding startups but are probably quite good at their core business of fund raising.
No, people taking trips is a good thing. Traffic is a mostly negative side effect of that, if they choose to travel by car.
> Most people who are successful as autodidacts are successful in college,

Yes and no. I had troubles in college every now and then because it interfered with my learning. That is, as soon as I found something more interesting to learn by myself I tended to quit paying attention to classes. It was similar in school too. But I owe it my career - all things programming was what I was doing instead of school assignments.
Alphabet’s Sidewalk Labs Plans Digital City for Google Car, Internet
When I was at university, everyone was switching to RoR web development, but most people said it was a pain in production.

Also people who started their web-dev career with it seem to have gotten the wrong picture of the web landscape. RoR is a highly integrated stack, but web-dev mostly isn't, hence the JS fatigue posts I guess...

Well, the hype kids from university switched to mobile rather fast, as the iPhone and Android came out, so no one I know is using RoR anymore.

But I think Fetlife (NSFW) is build on RoR.

I for myself think the times of big frameworks like RoR are over, with these cool new package managers every language has.
I don't mind the double-post, but I'll reply to both of them at once.

I have mental health issues. Nearly everyone I care about has mental health issues. Some of those issues are moderately serious problems, some are minor annoyances. It sucks having problems. I'm sad you have problems. I'm sad I have problems. I hope your problems resolve themselves, and/or you learn better coping strategies, and that life is as nice to you as possible.

But none of that changes my perspective that it's reasonable for me to characterize the world around me. And I have a limited cognitive budget. There's a whole bunch I don't know about the world, including mental illness, so I by no means assume that my model is terrific, but I still need to make choices. Y'know, I don't know if it will rain today, but I still need to decide what jacket to wear. Identifying other human behaviour as extreme is useful. Identifying other human behaviour as harmful is useful. Identifying other human behaviour as extreme-and-alarming-in-ways-that-seem-like-maybe-they're-mental-illness is useful. Knowing more would be better, but I've got a whole bunch of shit to learn, and this is seriously not my top priority. Based on all of the above, it seems to me that the only sane thing to do is sometimes identify other people's behaviour as crazy. And since I live in a city, with millions of people, most of the people I meet get an instant shallow analysis, because otherwise I wouldn't get anything done. So for my limited-cognitive-budget purposes, some people are "that crazy person". I don't know if I've never called a person "a crazy", but I don't see a problem with doing so.

To your point in this comment, I never for a moment said that "just because someone has a mental health issue, they're violent". I encourage you to read more carefully. I said that arguing about their probability of victimhood is a logical fail that does not help address fears that such-and-such a person is a threat. It has no predictive value, and will not persuade most people that have the concern in the first place.

Ultima is to this day the single most impactful RPG ever made in terms of its influence on future games, it seems nothing new has been done since, almost.

Ultima 6's keyword-based dialogue is in my opinion superior to today's dialogue trees, some of the keywords would be highlighted in the conversation, but some you would have to come up with on your own from your adventures.

Ultima 7 has a much more detailed world than even the modern Elder Scrolls games, its breathtaking how full that world is; Elder Scrolls is still playing catch up almost 30 years later, insane!

Ultima Underworld was also tremendously groundbreaking, it's real, texture-mapped 3D (in 1992!) and does all the things you'd expect from a modern RPG, which is why I am excited that "the band is back together", so to speak, making Underworld Ascendant (no Ultima branding, Underworld was originally not an Ultima game, but was rebranded and reworked for marketing reasons)

I could ramble for hours about these old games. But I'll stop here, go and play, people. :)
Banks can't arrest you for violating bogus immoral crimes. Your government can. You should be much more afraid of the government violating your privacy than your banks.
Kind of, but you still get the situation where an app wants to get your IMEI to identify the device, but is forced to ask for permission to 'phone', which the user promptly denies because that also allows the app to make phone calls.
That is the point. If software can't use multithreads, then strong single threads will win.
They aren't capable of handling the case where they aren't given access to a permission though, so that makes them potentially more prone to crashing.
That's what happens when conflicting tasks are left to the same management/company. Google's business model is not to make a secure OS or protect your privacy, it is to sell your eyeballs and data to advertisers. Any conflict between these views will usually resolve, maliciously or otherwise, toward advertising. Why do you think AppOps was removed?

I am sure there are people at Google who are tearing their hair, screaming about these issues. But management wants more money, not security or privacy.

As long as people vote with their wallet and buy Google products, they are supporting this. Yes, "I just don't care" is implicit support.
