The kobo readers run linux and seem to be pretty hackable. You can put Android on them (I only saw Android v2.3 with a quick google though, not sure if they'll run something more recent).

I bought a Kobo Glo (which I'm very happy with, incidentally), intending to hack in a hardware page-turn key (or even a cordless wifi one using an ESP8266 if possible), but I could never work out how I would be able to do it.

The ebook reader companies, like most corporations, want the consumer to be locked into their ecosystem. I assume some of the cost of the reader is offset by the profit from ebook sales. So it would be against their business model to sell one where you could just easily install any software you want.
If the initial state of the light is known to F then you only need once per person.

However if the initial state of the light is unknown to F then your proposal would deadlock at 99 wherever the light starts off, because it will only ever be turned on 99 times, so 100 will never be reached.

The twice entry solution avoids this issue because if the light starts on then the most that 98 people will turn it on is 196 times, for a total of 197 "on" count, with 198 guaranteeing 99 people involved, but if the light starts off the 99 people will turn it on 198 times as well.
So, what are the rights and licenses for this data? I see that one of them is Yelp photo data from a Kaggle contest [0]. Yelp distributes another Academic data set, but you have to fill out a form and agree to their TOS [1]. So they're OK with the data being available like this?

Another random datapoint: When EdX/Harvard released a dataset showing how students performed/dropped out, I uploaded a copy to my S3 to mirror and linked to it from HN. I got a polite email the next day asking for it to be taken down. Academics are (rightfully, IMO) protective of their data and its distribution (particularly its attribution).

One thing I would love to see on here is stuff from ICPRS, such as its mirror of the FBI's National Incident-Based Reporting System [2]. As far as I can tell, it's free for anyone to download after you fill out a form. But it also should be free to distribute in the public domain, but for all I know, ICPSR has an agreement with the FBI to only distribute that data with an academic license.

(The FBI website has the data in aggregate form, but not the gigabytes that ICPSR does)

5000 IU of Vit D everyday? Is there a particular brand you take?
There is a popular Ruby gem which addresses this sort of concern:
https://github.com/rubysherpas/paranoia

Essentially it doesn't delete but gives the impression to the user that it deletes. I like this idea because it really does guard against mistakes.

I'm not sure if you have an ethical/moral concern with retaining data that a user thinks is deleted but that's another thing altogether (Personally, I don't.)
That's incorrect. At no point or state of charge can you connect two lead battery packs in parallel and have them oscillate charging/discharging no matter how long connected. Either one will charge the other or they will sit without changing.
Note that the only disagreement I have here (that I felt like articulating) is that the pay scales are "racist." Though I do want to point out that prohibiting unions from forming based on racial or country-of-origin lines is obviously a very reasonable thing for a country like Singapore to do. And so is prohibiting strikes without notice, or strikes, period, in essential sectors -- if you don't like it, go work in a non-essential sector.

I never understood this. The Tim Burton version of the film isn't a remake of this one. It's a direct adaptation of the book and is vastly more faithful to the source material than the GW version of the movie. Why people continue to compare them as if they're the same thing is weird to me. I enjoyed both almost equally but for entirely different reasons. Why others can't is beyond me...

There are plenty of successful open source projects with permissive licenses. GPL was probably the best license for Linux at a time when the debate was rife with a"winner take all" attitude. Today, maybe a permissive license would have sufficed.

I don't know if shareholders would take the drastic route of sueing Apple rather than pressuring them to fire the CFO that didn't use every tax loophole and replace him with one who does. The big holders[1] of stock like Vanguard, Blackrock, etc could influence other shareholders to vote a certain way and elect a new Board of Directors... the directors then fire the CFO and hire one who channels revenue through Ireland so they can save billions of dollars. That way, they can compete with the other companies[2] like Microsoft/Google/Oracle/etc using the aggressive tax avoidance strategies to save billions.

It seems like OP is already halfway to the RV lifestyle, and he's probably in close proximity to dump stations, so he might as well dispose of it in the 'correct' manner rather than throwing it in dumpsters meant for trash.
> [W]hen people talk about finding "happiness" they are actually talking about "winning at life". Which is impossible of course.

Winning at life is a process, not an event or a one-off result. It can be anything from really enjoying a hot chocolate while watching a sunrise, to nailing a product demo, to that first (or third) date with your crush.

Winning at life is not something you can be 'done with', except maybe by dwelling on and reliving past wins. But then isn't that a kind of winning, too?
Wilder and Pryor were the dynamic duo. Loved those movies.
> Where today we speak of "replay value", of games that you finish and then want to play again, no such concept existed back then. Instead, it was assumed that a game that was "beaten" (let alone "mastered") would be put away, and so a game should resist being beaten for as long as possible to make it "more worth the money."

I always thought the games being designed that way was to add replay value. You could get close to the end but then have to start over again because you missed something.

They also had the much better option of optional quests/points.

> A startup is a new business. It's not anything special.

Your host, Y Combinator, strongly disagrees: http://www.paulgraham.com/growth.html

This is not entirely true. While the general civil/criminal purpose distinction you make is broadly correct, there are provisions for "restitution" within the criminal court system that overlap substantially with the compensatory function of the civil court system, so its not accurate to say that the DA will not help you recover funds or that a criminal case will not restore your losses.

See, e.g., http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/victim_services/docs/restitution_guid...

The notion that a 130h work week is admirable, desirable, sustainable or useful is ridiculous and should be criticised every time it's raised.

Unless you're working for yourself or working in a job where your contract compensates you by the hour then investing such huge swathes of time I think is destructive.

There is a reason workers united, fought and were martyred for the 8 hour work week and the creeping clawback by industry is a problem.

That aside, very interesting to see such a consistent time keeping record.

I am not angry with a feature of the language. I am angry with the people abusing a bug, for lack of a better word, that makes a simple language overly complicated. I am angry, because I didn't understand the whole comment. In my opinion that is not just my fault. It was, in many ways, terribly written. I think a little meta discussion is beneficial. Seeing that it is a question of logic and we are in a logic puzzle thread, I think, you should try to answer your question yourself.

> consistent

If that was a consistent feature, or better to say regular, there would be the -s inflexion on the verb, that the singular third person requires.

> well-understood

What does that even mean? In the referred article, were, as I said, at least two counts against the particular usage in the GP.

> How would you ...

What does it matter? Are you saying there is no other way? Why don't you give it a try yourself, it's not hard. For starters, just try replacing "they" with "F".
While you, and many others, have found cases where node is not a good choice, encountered bugs, etc (like literally anything else), clearly a large number of people have found node sufficient for their needs.

I’m perplexed by the suggestion that the only people who use node come from a design background. You know it’s used in the enterprise, by companies like Netflix, right? I don't read anything in this post that implies the author comes from a design background. Hell, I don't even know a lot of designers that write JS in the first place.

Must every JavaScript or PHP project posted to HN be plagued by this discussion? It's tedious.

People who write JavaScript and post it to HN know that lots of people who see it will feel this way. I have no idea what makes this feedback helpful.

Also, I didn't downvote you. But I didn't upvote either.

Do you supplement with proper amounts of vitamin K as well? Life Extension has a good vitamin D and K product which shows proper ratios and the forms of vitamin K required. If you only supplement with vitamin D, then you run the risk of (excess) calcium being directed toward soft tissue and other places, rather than where it should actually go.

Another sign you may have a magnesium deficiency is supplementation with vitamin D and K resulting in anxiety or difficulty sleeping. That is, you should be able to take D & K before bed without any issues.
Why not create one and move it around as necessary? I'm pretty sure that's what most date picker libraries do. Although you'd probably be moving it's location with js.
This is an interesting concept, and I think that desire has two faces: the first face of desire is desire driven for greed and aversion and delusion, as described in Buddhism. Principally, desire for becoming, desire for non-becoming and desire for sensual enjoyment (i.e enjoyment via our six senses, counting the intellect as a sensor and ideas being the objects we sense with it), as is taught in Buddhism.

The second kind of desire is that which you do not attach to. The outcome of these desires, whether accomplishing what you want or not, does not affect your mind. You don't crave these outcomes, or thirst for them.

In my opinion the distinction between "good" and "bad" desire isn't nearly as important as the distinction between what causes suffering and what alleviates suffering. Sense pleasures cause suffering when we attach to them.

AndrewKemendo's problem lies in the lack of contentedness, not lack of happiness. No matter how many sense pleasures we choose to indulge in, they are all impermanent and unstable, all ending, all unsafe.

VC: Questions we get all the time
Controversial statement: the number of actual, honest-to-god "10x developers" that exist in specific, narrow domains or contexts is so small that using them as a standard of comparison in any context (including their domains) is complete nonsense, and the number relative to the entire population of developers is so small that one can do just spectacularly well acting as if such a creature doesn't even exist.

First of all great work! Of all the search engines I tried (and I've tried at least 10), I found yours to be the next best thing after GitHub search.

Anyway, here are some links you can try for yourself:

No php results:

1. https://searchcode.com/?q=CORSConfiguration+CORSRules
1. https://github.com/search?l=php&q=CORSConfiguration+CORSRule...

Only SDK libraries, what I think would be useful if the search engine somehow prioritized code built on SDK/API over libraries (though I don't have the first clue how you would distinguish the two but that would be a killer feature because that is super useful)

2. https://searchcode.com/?q=createEnvironment+ElasticBeanstalk...
2. https://github.com/search?l=php&q=createEnvironment+ElasticB...

I can provide you with more examples, if that helps. Thanks!

There are two forms of nihilism, active and passive.

Passive nihilism can be found in Schopenhauer, Zen, Buddhism, Vedanta, detachment from the self and the fulfillment of idle fantasies [desire]. It is related
to a monastic/ascetic lifestyle and can be very hard to
deal with or fully espouse when one lives an active life inside modern western society (too many distractions).

Active nihilism is best described by Nietzsche, in his concept of the Ubermensch or the Antichrist. This is a strong individual who creates and projects his own morals, imposing his own Will upon the world whilst living his own life as a work of art. John C. Lilly's concept of metaprogramming and various mystical "systems" can also be seen as forms of this discipline.

The state of California is going crazy in this area. They're trying to eliminate the statute of limitations in all alleged non-consensual sex cases.

Sigh. People seem to always forget that we're a social species and a lot of our emotions have social roles.

Smiling as such does not make us feel happier. That is trivially proven, just as pretending to cry does nit make us sadder.

Thinking of happy things can make us feel happier, and thus we may smile.

But what makes us happiest of all is when other people smile at us (without being creepy). And so if I smile at you , and you smile back, then I will absolutely feel happier.
