>And is easier on people with limited vision

This is an unfortunately common misconception. Sometimes yes, sometimes not. It is highly dependent on condition, in particular with what part of the field is obscured/impaired. I lack around 90% of my FOV - no central vision - resulting in ~20/200 acuity and while I find black on white to be incredibly discomforting I also don't get on with many 'high contrast' dark schemes. At the same time many of my friends with similar acuity but different conditions would be driven screaming from the room by some of my color scheme choices.

The contrast/color sweet spot varies (anecdotally, at least) greatly across both conditions and individuals.

> Negroponte's failure with the OLPC project comes to mind. A mix of cheap netbooks, tablets, and phones made it quickly irrelevant.

To be fair to OLPC, it just predated those other devices. It [the hardware] was developed precisely because cheap laptops didn't yet exist, and then the form and market came into existence and obsoleted a large part of the project's efforts (the physical hardware development, not its educational goals).

Meh, not really, the computer doesn't understand the images it's mixing, it's just using some clever algorithms to piece together an image. It has no awareness of the images you're giving it. I couldn't give it an image of a narwhal and an image of a horse and expect it to give me a unicorn.

You want to inform the userbase of what, why, where, and how. Get them to convert, or in this case adopt and/or contribute.

You can start by creating a Landing page. Keep it static and you can host it with Github Pages.
The site should contain an Intro (what, why, where) and reading friendly Docs (how).

It also does not hurt, to include an option for people to donate e.g Gratipay.

My 7yo is pretty big into minecraft and lego both. We have close to 30k bricks in our inventory, and he did get a minecraft specific lego set for christmas. We have a LOT of fun building things from minecraft into lego sets and vice-versa. I thought that he would prefer to build things in the virtual world (prototyping etc) before building in lego, but he really enjoys the physical process in lego and then trying to make the virtual (and at times more restrictive) blocks in minecraft.

Frankly, Kaldi is nearly impossible for mere mortals to use. It's 100% targeted at people doing PhD work in speech recognition who have a colleague who already knows how it works and can set it up for them.

IMHO, there is a big opportunity for someone to come along and repackage it in a user friendly way, but the people who actually understand it are too busy doing "real work" to bother with such frivolity.

I always thought Steam Machines were intended to be a hedge, if Microsoft continued down the Windows 8 path of "make everything a Metro tablet app and lock out Win32 games". Since Microsoft did a near-total 180 on that for Windows 10, Steam Machines don't have much of a purpose anymore, but could still be judged a success. You don't call a hedge "failed" if the bad scenario never came to pass; it was good risk management.

Filter bubble might be addressable using ideas related to "information quotient": If FB decides it's worth trying to "show you the content that will most effectively challenge your views", then we pop the filter bubble, promote good content, etc etc.

Note - I don't just mean, "content that disagrees with you", because 95% of that is shit (Sturgeon's Law), but, content that effectively disagrees with you. That actually has a chance of changing your mind.

Information Quotient, as I understand it, is the idea of "What information will teach me the most?"

Linux gaming support will be a slow process, but it has definitely improved a great deal in recent years thanks in large part to Valve's efforts. I think that Steam Machines were more of a signal to consumers and developers that Valve is ready to make Linux gaming viable, and to Microsoft that Valve is ready to take them head on re: walled gardens and desktop app stores, which were more of a concern when Steam Machines were first announced.
Am I alone in thinking insults like naive don't belong in discussions on Hacker News?

Steam Link definitely undercuts sales. It's a great experience if you have a steam pc in the house.

But steam box isn't dead. It's not like a console where the platform IS the hardware. Steam's platform is... Steam. Valve can keep at this. Steam compatible games are on the increase.

I think this is still toe in the water stuff for Valve.

Wait till Half Life 3 is a steam box exclusive. ;)

But will you get a ticket for riding/parking it as a "motorcycle"? Without indicators and other regulated features, it wouldn't be allowed on the street as a motorcycle, or even a moped. I don't think it would qualify as a dirt bike for off-road either as there are many regs there too. Can you ride it in bicycle lanes? If it is anything other than a bicycle I don't see where one would be allowed to use it.
Just a nitpick, but I find the code part hard to read. Not sure if it is the colors or what. You might get some other feedback on it. Good luck!

Unbranded generally means generic, off-brand usually signifies it's branded, but not with a recognizable brand. Generic products are generally cheaper, but off-brand products can try to masquerade as higher-market items (especially when you're dealing with a purchase as infrequent as a mattress) and can claim higher margins.

To be fair, you haven't defined awareness in any meaningful way. Concepts are just coded by specific patterns of neural firings - there is no reason a neural net can't theoretically also code concepts meaningfully (of course, understanding that process and getting it work perfectly is decades away, IMO).
I'm just waiting for the day when Microsoft moves on to subscription based service. Basically I'm assuming that they want their win10 user base high enough and then one day they say "we changed our licensing policy to subscription based" and then everyone has no choice but to pay $20 or whatever every month or be locked out from their machines. There's probably some small print in the win10 EULA that conveniently allows them to move onto this model under the ruse of "rolling releases"
The "free will" bit is more of a joke than anything, based on a quote from Scot Aaronson's book (explained in the GitHub Readme):

> I couldn’t even beat my own program, knowing exactly how it worked. I challenged people to try this and the program was getting between 70% and 80% prediction rates. Then, we found one student that the program predicted exactly 50% of the time. We asked him what his secret was and he responded that he “just used his free will.”

I'd also posit that the majority of Uber drivers do not work in <$10/hour minimum wage markets (NYC, LA, SF, Boston, DC, Portland, Seattle) - or rather, the cost of living that they work in would not allow for that to be a sustainable wage.
Can't you invoke a simpler random generator? Let's say primes % 4 ?
Did they predict that I'd wire the {d,f} input to a PRNG? Did they predict that I have a lot of digits of pi memorized, or that I could use the hex 'spigot' formula to generate digits of pi, then convert d=0, f=1 (or the inverse)?

Did they predict which method I'd wire it up with and the exact source of the program I'd use to do so?

I'm going to hazard a 'no', so it looks like I have free will.
> > no sick days, paid holidays, vacation, unemployment coverage, insurance, etc.

> You realize that the people that demographics of people who like to drive for Uber are those coming from minimum wage jobs, who have none of the above either.

After deducting the portion of SE taxes equivalent to the employer share of payroll taxes (which isn't counted in employee wages), the wage is equivalent to $10.43/hr, which is only a hair above minimum wage in CA.

And, in CA, minimum wage earners are covered by mandates for unemployment coverage and, depending on employer, paid family leave and (since July 2015) paid sick leave.

Well I just looked through tons of dividend distributions and stock price doesn't drop by the amount of the dividend in like 95% of cases. I don't dispute the theory about why you are right, it absolutely makes sense, but there's a mountain of evidence that it doesn't happen in reality.

For most companies the dividend distribution is less than average daily variance of stock prices. Which is why your strategy won't necessarily yield great results. A 3% yield distributed four times a year is only 0.75% of the stock value.

The SEC also has special rules for extremely large dividends so that the ex-date is after the distribution date.
I really appreciate the author taking the time to write this book. I have read his previous book Lisp Web Tales and learned many things from it.
Not really, but the time they were actually shipping the olpc in non-trivial deployments, the netbook revolution was already here. Intel also had the education aimed Classmate netbook as well. 2007 article on the two competing platforms:

>nd then the form and market came into existence and obsoleted a large part of the project's efforts

It was also a terrible, terrible product. The crappy screen, low ram, low performance, lack of software, etc. When I used one I considered it something for toddlers or preschoolers. The Classmate by comparison is something I could use right now if I had to and still be mildly productive with.

The market moves fast and OLPC wasn't ready for it. They built their house on not just last gen technology but last junky gen technology (milquetoast AMD designs, shovelware linux distro, etc). They got leapfrogged trivially. The fact that they couldn't see that is inexcusable. Moores law reigned supreme back then.

While the OLPC was ambitious, it pretty much is the poster boy for incompetent central planning by out of touch technocrats who thought they were smarter than the market, educators, and policy makers.

I agree. You're totally right. But does the fact that we're not perfect mean that we shouldn't strive to be? Is there any evidence that our court system doesn't have room for improvement?

What worries me is that when people see a case like this, they take it for granted that our court system is abusable and denigrate the abuser. But any system that incentives abuse is itself a corrupt and flawed system that will give rise to more abusers.

Imagine, for example, a country with no laws against murder.

This is a very good idea. As others have said, and the creator acknowledged, there isn't a lot of content yet. Community contribution would be very cool.

I'm not sure if I have a good idea here or not, but focusing on older and/or more esoteric languages is a potential niche. For instance, and these are real examples, maybe I've inherited some SAS code with a nasty DATA step and I don't really know how a MERGE works. Or COBOL. I always have ridiculous COBOL things to google.

As someone else pointed out, though, I think you need some cross-search between idioms. I might not know what a SAS DATA MERGE is, but if I look for a SAS join, tell me how to do it in PROC SQL or the DATA step.

Keep going, I think this is very cool.
The important thing is that Linux games on Steam remain strong enough so that publishers continue to port their games to Linux. I believe that is the case (mostly because Unity makes this relatively easy, so it's worth it to chase the 2%).

As long as Linux game support remains strong, Valve and game makers have a lever on Microsoft, which is all they want. They don't care about Linux, they just care about not being squeezed by Microsoft.

Steam Machine can die, but it can be quickly resurrected as long as the games are there.
>it should be noted that $16/hour as 1099 income is not at all the same thing as $16/hour as a regular W2 employee. A rough equivalent would be about $11/hour.

Not quite. You only take off some of the employment taxes, not the income taxes (which you would still have to pay as a regular W2 employee). It will likely only be about a dollar an hour or so.

However the advantage of being self-employed is that you can deduct expenses such as fuel. (Which brings up another point...fuel will need to be considered when calculating net income).
