Definitely doesn't make sense. I use hangouts constantly. It is my default app for SMS and chatting with family. I like having one consistent thread between different desktop devices, as well as mobile. Yes Slack has replaced it for work, but that's no good for family, at least not mine. Until this has desktop support there is no reason for me to buy in. Why not have (one of) the most important feature of hangouts (and all of the other competitors) on these new apps?
I like to read my Kindle for a while after going to bed, just using the backlight only - I find this is sufficiently dark to trigger my sleep reflex, and it feels much more efficient to spend 20 minutes or so reading rather than lying in bed waiting for sleep.

I guess it is because default linux package managers already do a great job.
Could you provide some specific examples? That's almost word for word what people say about Bootstrap, too, and it'd be nice to know what shaped your opinion.
Venus - like Mars too, is missing an essential element for terraforming: water. On both planets this is long lost, and the constituent elements, espcially hydrogen, is gone from the surface.

Unless there is a way to massively mine the rocks for the hydrogen and oxigen, there is no other way to terraform a planet like Mars or Venus. I am afraid that would put the terraforming efforts like hundreds of years ahead.

>I can't notice how it is affecting my sleep

Personally, since I began a regular exercise program I need less sleep, I assume attributed to better quality sleep when I'm actually there.
Any chance you could provide some details?

Ask HN: Review my startup – MD in your pocket
Hello!

We’ve just launched our landing page (http://aidlab.com) and would appreciate any feedback.

Idea:

Aidlab is a health tracker that will help in recognizing heart illness or overtraining thanks to regular, easy to take, short monitoring sessions.

Why?

Traditional heart disease can lead to a heart attack during a race, even in apparently healthy middle-aged runners, and many young runners train and race with undetected congenital heart conditions. The same goes with temperature. No matter what the temperature is outside, your core body temperature will increase over time with exercise. When you run hard – your body generates a large amount of heat, and if you can’t get rid of it effectively, this could result in a heat stroke.

Example of use:

1. Stay Active as usual: Do your favorite workouts, including gym sessions or biking

2. Monitor Your Health: See the response of your body based on the everyday activity

3. Adjust Intensity: React to abnormal ECG signal or increased body temperature

We'll try to answer every question.

Thanks!

Aidlab Team
I personally don't use Mac OS(X), but what I understand is that Homebrew is a project designed to give the functionality of a Linux command-line package manager to OSX.

For most (all? Slackware...) Linux distributions, there is ONE package manager: for Debian/Ubuntu it's APT, for Arch it's Pacman, for RedHat & friends it's RPM, etc. There is exactly one, because all the files which aren't user data or configuration are owned by some package or other. It's all well and good when there's a clear need for this on OSX, and so Homebrew must keep up to date with the official software management and keep itself contained, not breaking anything. Having a second package manager on Linux, which doesn't treat Linux as the main target platform, seems both pointless and asking for trouble.

Alternatively, you could be harsh and figure that the downvoters were saying, "No, you don't prefer Homebrew. You prefer your distribution's package manager, and thou shalt use it correctly."
Genius Programming
easy fix for the prosecution: Use parallel reconstruction. I'm sure they're on this as we're commenting here.

Once the information has been gathered, it's out there. You can't unsee it. It will always be there. Now, I don't think we should protect child porn users, but this is a general issue with mass surveillance. Laws change and suddenly somebodies actions that were once legal and are now illegal will be useful for the investigators as a basis for parallel reconstruction or just plain extortion or blackmail.
And if it breaks it would have had to be replaced anyway?
True. And Microsoft responded with a ULCPC (Ultra Low Cost PC) version of XP that cost them $11-$16 or so -- which they could easily get back by installing crapware.

This left Linux with no cost advantage on parts, or a negative cost advantage, if you added more crapware.

The much higher costs of shipping Linux then killed off the Linux netbooks.

The higher costs included extra testing and parts qualification, extra shipping and advertising costs, and, in particular, massively increased support costs. (One Linux user support call wiped out the profit margin on multiple sales.)

Does it work for them, though? I don't remember their successful products arising from this process; they never had a bunch of email services before Gmail, nor multiple mobile OSs before Android, nor different browsers before Chrome, etc. The closest might be Google Video before YouTube, but it wasn't really the same kind of product.
On the other hand, I've never gotten writable optical media to last longer than three years, despite storing them in a cool dark closet.

> The best nootropic is getting a good nights sleep.

The above is a direct quote from OP. Where's the metaphor? You're grossly mistaken!

> but that it is something that performs the same function

Can sleep gives one supranormal cognition? No.

Does sleep perform the same function as modafinil (a drug which gives you more time to work since you need less sleep)? They're nearly opposites.

Does sleep perform the same function as melatonin? A hormone that allows greater sleep "efficiency" than normal sleep. No.

You're grossly incorrect again.

> And I don't think it's derailing the topic to talk about relevant alternatives.

It's a category error.

The sleep conversation is above everything else. It takes focus from the subject at hand.

It happens a lot with noobs. They don't know anything about noots, but know something about sleep/exercise/whatever and decide that's a good topic to talk about.

It's like a conversation about Tesla, and then someone talking about walking—because it's an alternative. OK, the subject may be interesting per se, but it is of little relevance.

I've been leaning that way lately, having only just tried kvm virtualization on a server at home.

The discovery of kimchi made me try KVM and it's a very nice web gui for home use, or laptop use. So yes I might just replace VirtualBox with kvm soon. I just have no experience with the guest drivers for Windows provided by libvirt.

Perhaps it's some kind of homeomorphic encryption scheme. Hey it technically leaves the original message encrypted!
I think princetman was being sincere that he loved the experience. homebrew went to the trouble of telling us that we could restore the default permissions to /usr/local, that's nice.
Well, the IBM PC followed a generation of 8-bit CP/M microcomputers that were pretty much open.... though they were mainly used by businesses rather than home users.

> no more visiting the app store

You answered your own question.
My experience is quite the opposite. Lots of missing packages in brew compared to debian. And brew has been nothing but trouble for all the devs in my team. It keeps messing up /usr/local permissions for some reason. And if you don't update brew frequently it will bork itself. Apt-get or better yet aptitude is rock solid.

In France, where the posted initiative originates, there is a weird obsession among mainstream startups of getting partnerships with big companies ASAP. As if that can help with product-market fit or customer dev. It's as if startups are all about bizdev hounding corporate partnerships, for something akin to validation.

That's why, IMO, there are so few successful B2C/consumer products startups coming from France. Besides, of course, the usual reasons, the huge brain drain to SV, wrong mythology, lack of funding, stifling regulation.

The hounding for partnerships sometimes finishes in a pity acquihire with a tiny ROI.
I started out using Puppet, and in a new job chose Ansible instead. I never regretted it one bit - troubleshooting in Ansible, you know exactly where it broke. Troubleshooting in puppet was sometimes a giant mystery.

Also, if you used the same step in two different puppet manifests, it would totally freak out and refuse to run, even if the invocations were identical. I got the feeling that Puppet is for giant enterprise environments with automated agents everywhere, and Ansible is better suited for admin-driven runs.

Congress can hold hearings, they can issue subpoenas, and they can hold someone in contempt of Congress.

There is currently no case. Congress is simply holding a hearing to roast the guy for making some stupid decisions. If information comes to light that would indicate criminal wrongdoing of a private citizen or a non-elected member of the government during a Congressional hearing the justice department takes over. For elected officials Congress (specifically the Senate) has the option of initiating an impeachment trial.

I think some of you may have experienced this, but for me it was the first time. You pass on a job as an early employee with ample stock and then a year or two later, it has a high valuation and is doing really well. It feels so random sometimes and very frustrating. All I had to do was the same work at a different company and I'd be in a completely different life situation right now.

Just curious to hear if you also had this kind of experience and your thoughts on it.
Not commenting so much on the difficulty or differences as much as on the ability of software/analysis to anticipate us, gradually doing what makes us us. With my buying history, analysis could do a reasonable job of choosing and buying my future clothes. Spotify suggests decent music based on what I've previously liked. With relevant data, a service could feed me satisfying food I liked.

In praise of 'small astronomy'
Fair enough, I've personally never had that experience.
I'm always confused about our priority for us to become a multi-planetary species. Planets are interesting to us for their resources, but they provide a far greater risk: they're another huge gravity well. This means that it's expensive/resourceful to leave these places (as it currently is for earth).

So I'm confused to why not make space habitats our priority instead of other planets. Certainly inhabiting planets is something that will happen regardless, I'm just baffled to why it needs to happen before we build something like a Stanford Torus.
There is an irony here in that we are the only beings we (yet) know of that in any way appreciate the universe on an aethestic level, on subjective criteria we have determined ourselves. So we would be obliterating ourselves to save the universe for... ?
It's not a perfect solution but you can log into your Hangouts account on OS X's Messages app, so you can largely combine iMessage and Hangouts on your desktop in one app if you use both.

The previous Wells CEO gave a talk at stanford GSB in 2009 in which he explained the company's core strategy in consumer financial services: distributing decentralized products and services through cross-selling. [1]

Since cross-selling has been core to the Wells Fargo business model for many years, and proven an effective growth mechanism over that time, it wouldn't make much sense to just go round firing people over pursuing that mechanism responsibly. What does make sense is adjusting course sternly when that pursuit starts to look irresponsible, and it appears the current leadership is doing that.

If Elizabeth Warren had the brains to understand the financial services industry, she wouldn't have time to fling baseless legal allegations at dinosaur incumbents like Wells Fargo. She would be too busy disrupting them.

With an institution as old and large as Wells Fargo, the problem isn't that their strategy is bad. "How can it be bad when it's been good all these years?" It's actually much deeper than that: their strategy is yesterday's strategy, and that can be a big problem when you have the kind of organizational inertia Wells does.

Ha, thanks that's a comprehensive answer. Maybe have been a bit of both, looks like the downvotes have been countered now anyway.
> Earlier this year, federal judges in Massachusetts and Oklahoma made similar rulings and similarly tossed the relevant evidence. Thirteen other judges, meanwhile, have found that while the warrants to search the defendants' computers via the hacking tool were invalid, they did not take the extra step of ordering suppression of the evidence. The corresponding judges in the remainder of the cases have yet to rule on the warrant question.

It's nice to see checks/balances work every now and then. It's also refreshing to see public figures stand against "thinking of the children" when rendering judgements about our freedoms. My only concern is that it's still a narrow technical ruling, only invalid because the judge issuing the warrant did not have the authority to do so (it targeted people outside their jurisdiction), and while it's relatively easy in the physical world to constrain your search, it's much more difficult on the digital world unless the warrant is extremely narrow in scope. Once you've gotten access to someone's personal computer, you're going to get all the things, not just the child pornography. I would consider it the equivalent for getting a warrant (hand-wave the actual execution) to mount a GoPro your target and record their life, combing through the footage to find details relevant your case, but I fear a "hack their computer" warrant would be/is much easier to obtain.
