I confirmed that the official app does not give the optimum experience. I experimented with Disco Hue and Hue Pro.

Hue Pro is good, and straight forward. I like the 'energize' and 'concentrate' settings, basically bright yellows. At night, I like to set 'deep blue', I find it relaxing. The warm colors are really cool, the oranges, reds and purples. It can really set the ambiance for making out with your partner, if that's your thing, LOL.

I schedule the 'energize' setting at 7 a.m., and this kinda forces me to wake up :p. I like scheduling on/off times to help me structure my day, because honestly I tend to be late.

One thing I like about Hue Pro is that there is an option with 'X' 'Y' sliders that allows you to select different colors than the RGB approach.
>The Internet and technology, has largely killed the mall. Teenagers, for example, no longer need to go to the mall to exchange gossip and be "seen." They also have high amount of disposable income. (see: millennials and car usage for similar changes in a market) And Shopping online has become too easy for many people.

I wonder how much is because of helicopter parenting: parents won't let their kids out of their sight until they're 18 these days. That'll keep kids from going to the mall to hang out. Also, the middle class is dying out and people have less disposable income, and jobs fit for teenagers have all dried up; this probably means teens aren't getting cars as much and are stuck at home. However, even back when I was a teenager and hung out at the mall, we teenagers did little more than make the mall look busy. We didn't buy very much, except maybe ice cream cones, and dinner at food court.

Malls have always had crappy prices for a lot of stuff, but they were convenient. But now Amazon is more convenient, and a lot cheaper. The only thing keeping malls open these days is clothing stores; there's rarely book stores or electronics stores or music stores or other kinds of stores there any more, just clothes. You can buy clothes online, but it's a crappy experience because you can't try them on and you can't feel them. You can still buy consumer electronics and appliances at Sears, but they're teetering on the edge of bankruptcy so that isn't going to last long.

>There are other reasons that malls have been struggling as well (Suburban sprawl is a big one, especially due to factors such as in part, the Concentric Zone Model [0] (as housing stock gets older, and population increase, many persons move further out to newer/better/larger housing stock, and the previously housing is then taken up by a lower socio-economic class, which may no longer be able to support the local mall.

Yep, I saw this in Phoenix. The malls near the urban center are smaller and older, and not doing well. "Metrocenter" mall used to be a really nice mall decades ago, and these days it's derisively called "ghettocenter". If you go to those malls, you'll find half the stores closed, and wonder to yourself how they're still in business.
My concern/hesitancy with github (possibly completely unfounded) is that the site is primarily targeted at developers. So while I already have a github account, and developers appreciate it and that setup, I think it's kind of hostile to non-developers. Non tech people don't like/want to be referred to a git page.

Say for example I want to show commercially/professionally that I can predict elections, real estate prices, gambling markets or pedestrian/traffic movements, and I convey this through words and visualisation. I think in a lot of that space, any window/connection to git or software development is a barrier to many of the people who would hire me to do such, and the technical people would dig deeper if they wished. Or they can home in on the specifically technical articles.

So is it possible, if hosted on git pages, to divorce the page on a presentation level from any concept of git/repositories/software development concepts if I so choose?

Its not like you can get Half Life or DOTA2 outside Steam either (well, Half Life 2 is on the Play store. I guess everyone at some point bows to Ma Google). Every Valve game since HL2 has been Steam exclusive, and uses it for DRM. Since Valve self publishes their own games, can you really blame EA for wanting to do the same with their own DRM system?

> Most people will never live in a house that is destroyed that prompts a home insurance payout, and if you are someone who has their home destroyed, you will get back way more than you would put in in a lifetime because the average likelihood of it happening is so low. But not having the insurance would wipe out your wealth - you lose the house and writeoff the loss and have nothing left after the fact, and at best you spend an entire rainy day fund with a mortgage on the land to rebuild, and even then you are doing significantly more impactful damage than any rainy day fund could account for.

Homeowners insurance has broadened considerably from simple catastrophic fire coverage. Most claims are relatively small, and can involve things like pet bites, stolen property, guests being injured, wind damage, etc.
The natural progression of all software industries has always been to use proprietary first movers to dominate and control the market with DRM and lockin, burn it down, destroy all consumer and fan engagement, and then slowly flicker out where the corporate goliath that dominated first is eventually supplanted by an open community that should have been there in the first place, but everyone drank the koolaid.

Be it web standards, OSes in general, word processing, graphics editing, CAD, 3d modeling, compilers, network protocols, graphics APIs, video game engines, and now VR. The only industry that I've seen even resist for a moment this tempting devil of profit has been 3d printing, which has been in many regards losing to "ease of use" DRM restricted proprietary tonka toys in recent years.
Decompilers don't "deoptimize" programs. Compilation is a very lossy process (reused variables, moving variables to other registers, etc.). The best you'll get is some C code that, when compiled, would do the same thing as the original assembly (but probably slower). Interesting idea, nonetheless.
This is fascinating to me. Do you consume fiction purely for analyses of the writing/acting? Of course, either of those things done poorly can quickly make one focus on the fabricated nature of it, but to not have any real capacity to entertain fantasy as reality when there are no obvious negatives or doubts to point out seems to be a rare thing.

If you're unable to "suspend disbelief", what is the actual gain from that experience if no engaged entertainment value is received? Does it only come from being a so-called "grinch"?
No, actually they don't.

It's extremely difficult to reason about, and decide how points would be placed. Could someone give me an explanation of how this works, and the value of this? It seems like it supports statistical distortion, and making the data fit your view point.

White plastic highlights defects including contamination with other colors (or materials), burn marks, and shrinkage. It is common for one injection machine to be used for many colors and types of plastic, but since white is such a pure color, it is very easy to see swirls or traces of other colors in the part. Even different batches of white plastic can cause unsightly marks; getting some nylon in your ABS part will certainly ruin it. Burn marks (which are dark) obviously stand out more against white than any other color, and are generally caused by either the mold or plastic being too hot. Shrink marks are caused by uneven cooling of the plastic because of machine settings or part design, and are most visible on white because of uneven reflections and small shadows. Even tiny scratches can ruin the glossy finish of a smooth part.

Since Apple has huge volumes, they can dedicate machines to injecting a single mold, and ensure that plastic colorants are matched across batches; the rest of us (with volumes of less than ~100-500k/yr) have to settle for grey.

If anyone wants to chat about part design and manufacture, let me know.
Even then it's way better to save that money... After you save it once you have it forever, and can use it to borrow against.

eg. Save it for a down payment, when you buy your place with the insurance money you saved, get a credit card for the amount you used for downpayment, and then rebuild your savings using the credit card for your emergency fund.

Sitting down is great for passive entertainment, of which Vive has a lot of. But also, VR is for immersive interaction... and for that, standing up with tracked controllers is not only compelling, it's essential.
Black makes it easier to hide defects. White makes any tiny issue show up very clearly, it's hard to get the exact shade of white right, and you'll need to run lots of plastic through the machine to make sure no little bits of other colors are still waiting in there to ruin your new pieces.
If Olympics increase annual tourism by 10% as I have seen elsewhere and in this thread, then that effectively doubles the tourism to Rio for the duration of the Olympics.

As others have pointed out, there are poor countries that have trouble eradicating mosquito borne disease (think malaria, which is transmitted via the same species as zika) that do not currently have zika. Increasing the speed of the spread of the disease does not seem logical given that we do not even have a vaccine.

Moreover, this is a rapidly evolving disease which is also sexually transmitted.

I would not recommend traveling to Rio or other Zika-invested countries right now. You can't just get vaccinated before travelling.

Doubling the tourism to Brazil for a month seems like a bad idea at best, hazardous at worst.

Before they implemented pipelining, they had all of the stages running in under 33ms on the ps4. Yes, this is lower input latency than on the ps3, but that's beside the point.
I think you need to look at more historical precedent. And the fact that our culture considers 13 year-olds children and ancient cultures considered them adults.
Thanks for posting this to HN. I originally published this some time ago when porting a heavily-multithreaded library from Windows to Mac and Linux. It should run on Windows/Linux/Mac/FreeBSD/etc. and it's been vetted and tested over the years. I even came across some backtraces from Steam's Mac/Linux app that indicated they were using my code a few years back, so there's that.

I'm a bit ashamed that I opted to write it in C++ originally. It doesn't have much in terms of standard library dependencies (just dequeue), but in the process of porting it to C I decided to also change how the inner notifications system works with regards to the cleanup of allocated memory for completed waits and now I'm stuck on a particularly nasty decision of whether to add a mutex, use reference counting, or let memory grow until an event is destroyed... and so the code is still C++ :)

Tons and tons of places on AirBnB are not residences but full-time hotels. This is why the site is so hated by established interest groups. Tons of entrepreneurs are out there buying up or renting long-term housing and converting it into short-term rentals, all while avoiding the fees and regulations that apply to traditional hotel businesses.
Look at it this way: Your premium is a loss that has a 100% chance of happening.
Oh also, since you keep claiming that regulation like this cements Uber's dominance in the market place, then please explain to me why Uber is lobbying against this kind of regulation? They obviously believe that this regulation would not be good for them (presumably because of the costs involved, including slowing down the onboarding process for new drivers). So why do you think you know better than Uber does about what is good for Uber?
Is the living supposed to be minimalist, or is the expense sheet supposed to be minimalist? Because one seems true, whereas the other appears to rely on a fairly maximalist read of minimalism.
Spoke in Detroit on Blockchains, can't understand the mindset on innovation
My talk was a part of Detroit Startup Week and was the only Blockchain related event. Yesterday, Dan Gilbert of Quicken Loans/Cleveland Cavs fame had a talk on Fintech in Detroit with four "fintech experts". During the entire hour, nothing was discussed about blockchain tech, I was shocked as 50% to 60% of what I see discussed in media, communities and conferences involves blockchain tech.

I had to leave Detroit to work in a field I was interested in and passionate about, after explaining this in my talk, five other individuals told me how they felt the same way. Growing up I was interested in open source tech and other ideas that not one single person I knew had an interest in.

Since leaving Detroit, I've made it a point to speak at any event I can when I'm back in town. The community is definitely there and the turnout always improves, but no new projects or startups have evolved, no established industry representatives emerge and the business side stays stagnant.

When I lived in the city, I always felt the reason the most innovative ideas/projects went unappreciated was due to the city's manufacturing history and mindset. Seeing the frustration in Detroiters who have a similar interest is why I'm revisiting and asking for this community's opinion. For those who would be interested in reading more about this, check out my summary of the event and difficulties in Detroit: https://medium.com/@TonySwish/why-is-detroit-media-refusing-to-cover-blockchain-fc718b774a99
No, I just meant in general. Under the circumstances that you're fully employed for 7 or 8 years, and never need to make a claim, the maximum payout is always 24 weeks of unemployment supplements. Therefore, after 8 years, you might have paid more than you'll ever get back, even with incremental raises during that lengthier period of time.
>Odds are far better than good that your high performers are achieving what appears to be high levels of productivity by building technical debt into the application by taking shortcuts whether intentionally or unintentionally. Examples of shortcuts are not taking the time to design and architect things well at all levels (low to high — think objects and object hierarchies, database schema changes, etc.), failing to test adequately, and crafting code that is hard to read, maintain and extend.

I've seen this: young developers who get things done quickly, but when you look closely at it, it's not really well architected and ends up needing a lot of fixes and changes. And worse, as said here, it's hard to read and maintain, and seems to have almost no commenting so it's very hard to understand quickly what's going on when you're not familiar with that code.
"Let’s say you live in New York and earn $100,000 annually."

wtf ?

I didn't read the rest of the article after that statement.Too divorced from reality.

How about you start with "Let's say you work at a part-time temp agency doing manual labor for $8 an hour and your hours are restricted to 30 hours a week.You are socially trapped at the moment and see no way out"

Then the article would be more realistic.

Why leading vs. lagging metrics matter
I certainly am! Please tell more. :)
I definitely prefer non-fiction. I do make an effort to connect with people about current series/movies. But it is an effort, not something spontaneous. I feel bad sometimes that I can come across as too analytical. I'm not! I feel awe and deep emotion looking at documentaries, for example, or at the space station footage of the Earth. That is mind-blowing and very moving.

I noticed this the other day talking to my brother. He was excited about a new episode of House of Cards? I think. I watched it, it was cool. The representation of all the forces and intrigues inside American politics. Interesting! But then I tried to small talk, and said regarding the current election (and I am not American, btw): 'You know, I think Hillary is as corrupt as Sanders and Trump!'. He said with a blank face 'Oh sorry, I don't really know about that'. I immediately felt the disconnect between us.

I follow American politics mainly through Stephen Colbert and other comedians; I'm not too analytical and dry as to just read serious journals or political books: I like entertainment, but entertainment that contains at least a little bit of information about reality. I just can't spend a weekend watching a fictional series when I could be learning something about the real state of affairs, even superficially.

And I just don't want to judge people that like to do that, I even consider it as the normal, balanced thing to do. But I do feel how other people judge me for my preferences of entertainment, but I just can't help it.
Friends tell me that very sensitive code (ranking algos, etc) is not in the repo.

Personally, I also favor a single repo. You manage it the way you manage separate packages: with organization and some discipline. The magic is that command line tools like grep, sed & awk--and static analysis tools for refactoring--work really well. You can change a method signature and it just works. I've been part of monolith-breaking before (most recently at Trulia) and it definitely adds friction to the development process to work across such a rich graph of package dependencies.
You have nicely summarized how important to take care of employees. Though I am not manager, there is lot of stuff in common of the suggested advice. Hope every manager think/work the way you have written or at least try.
