We also have to consider the (near future?) implications of machine learning on sifting through the "noise" that is generated with tools like this. In fact, by knowing that one is using such a tool, one could envision a scenario where this data adds more information about the user and not less - in particular about everything that one is not actually searching for or what OS the user is actually using. Consider that just clicking on a random search link with a browser automation engine probably doesn't look like a real user browsing without considerable effort on the developers part. Here we arrive at counter ML :)
What about Near-Eye Light Field Displays[1][2]? From what I've seen those look to have promise in solving some focus problems and some of the problems with how cumbersome most VR/AR displays are. As a bonus, they can correct for prescriptions.

There's nothing wrong with posting older material to HN if it hasn't had attention yet. I'm not sure if this story had, though.

The "new" in "Hacker News" is more like a second-hand clothing store in my neighbourhood that used to be called "New to You".
Yeah, at least we got a quick cite. I believe they had to sacrifice a bit on the rigour of the methodology to be able to do it at scale. For example, atmospheric correction of the data, methodology, validation, ...

We've also improved a lot on our methodology since our own paper was published (using more sophisticated classification algorithms, for example).

Not too fussed, I've got a lot more cool stuff in the pipeline...
Thx for this.

How so? Let's say I build a popular, free, social media network. My income from the free service is zero, but the popularity has investors (which could even be average Joes pooling their money together) quite willing to buy it for millions of dollars. My wealth has now increased by millions without a respective change in income.

> Why aren't noodles bread?

I tend to think that they're not considered "bread" for two reasons:

- Their form factor is not appropriate for the concept "bread".

- They don't contain perceptible air bubbles.

Really, it's mainly the first one.

Two categories can be, um, vocabularily distinguished for pretty arbitrary reasons. Noodles are just a case of the same thing from a nutritional perspective leaving the prototype for the "bread" concept far enough behind that they're perceived differently.

I think it could apply, a significant part of the advantage is that they already have the OS and they're building the app eco system.

But then again, first mover advantage has been more of the exception than the rule for quite a while in tech.

Edit - Androids "auto add to dictionary" creates a lot of stupid capitalizations.
No way. That would be something like 3,000 deaths per year, versus 30,000-40,000 per year for cars. Airliners do about 1/7th the passenger miles that cars do, so the fatality rate would be pretty close. It would still be a bit safer than driving, but not much. Certainly not 100 times safer.
Looks interesting. But how many people it can hold?

We're talking about people who fall within a certain age range. Personal responsibility is something that makes sense when talking about a person, not a population. To my mind, therefore, personal responsibility doesn't have much to do with good policy.
Bit of a non standard question: we drop ship and/or resell a lot of items from retailers. Sometimes this is against the retailers terms of service. How bad is that legally? At worst, could it be criminal, or civil only? (Some stores ban resellers altogether, some just have restrictions.)

It's nuts that they haven't done it already. The late 80s, early 90s crusaders/falcon knights/black knights sets could be put together in something approaching what I'm envisioning, but it was underdeveloped.

It's not a moral duty, it's a Robb Report level luxury. One does not need to be particularly articulate or present a rational argument, especially when dealing with matters of morality. Sadly, rhetoric and appeals to emotion, empathy, and common sense are more effective if your goal is to sway others.

> This phrase does not mean "All good men should continually natter on". It is also your moral duty to present a cogent argument

What I was trying to say is there will be times where you are not as prepared as you like. It's not about presenting an airtight, cogent argument, it's about having the courage to say something like, "Officer, stop beating the shit out of this guy in a wheelchair. He's clearly isn't resisting and you're being a dick."
It sounds like a business to me. Unions pool labor for negotiating power, they don't pool financial resources to create value.

Labor unions are alive and well in the United States. What's your implication? Don't beat around the bush.

Jesus, that really does sound soul-crushingly abominable.

I remember working night jobs surrounded by that sort of crowd. Everywhere you look it feels like you're witnessing the distressed underpinnings of all civilized behavior disintegrate in the throes of abandon.

To wit: Comes the day that I find out 9 in 10 people found this one particular night job (which shall remain nameless) because they had all connected at narcotics anonymous meetings. A month or two later I'm at the book store reading up on (what else?) computers. I had developed a crush on one of the girls I worked with, and I glance across the store, and there she is, sitting on the floor with a book in her lap.

A nervous compulsion to go say "hi" creeps in, so I consider how to strike up conversation and start in her direction. I see she's with someone. The brain-damaged guy, who sits next to her at work. He speaks slowly, with this lazy, distant gaze, and the hypothesis is that he was in a car accident, since he's physically normal and healthy. We catch eyes, but given his situation, there's no hint of emotion. Just a lost half-sleepy nod hello from him. I'm surprised they're hanging out outside of work. I'm steps away, when she slumps over into the book in her lap, then startled, staggers to her feet with this absurd, slurred giggle. She almost walks into a book case when Damage Case catches her around the waste, and they sort of stare into eachother's eyes. We have crossed into uncharted territory, and I'm disturbed at what's all-to-obvious. I buy my book and leave.

Monday morning. I reassess the situation in the office. Damage Case is brain damaged as usual. A handicapped person. Clueless, and incapable of normal social interaction. At the printer I bump into "It Girl" and ask if she finished that book she was reading. Confused and searching... What book? She does not remember being at the book store. At all. I make a joke, and she laughs harder than necessary, and I notice for the first time that all her molars are gone.

Over time I learn that everyone in the office had lived lives ravaged by a managerie of drug addictions, and "It Girl's" life was in the process of being unravelled by herion. She was a prostitute on the down-low, especially for anyone who had access to heroin.

Thanks to everyone else ruining their lives outside of work at that place, I looked like some kind of wunderkind model citizen. And with that I was promoted well beyond my experience or qualifications, and paid handsomely, all because of the disparity between me and the human wreckage I shared the room with. I made that much work out in my favor, and got the hell out of there as fast as possible.
You have to look at total passenger-miles. Currently planes are over 1000 times safer. I think it actually might approach 10,000.

This is why Windows has options to disable animations and other effects, and everything does feel noticeably more responsive when they are disabled --- windows and menus appear and disappear instantly.
Soleio: The Man Who Got Us to 'Like'

For 2014, the latest year listed, airlines did 607,772 million passenger miles, highway vehicles did 4,371,706 million.

The current level of safety can't be accurately measured, because airline fatalities don't happen often enough. Whatever the level is, it's far better than cars. But the hypothetical one-full-plane-crash-per-month scenario does not compare particularly favorably to cars.

* Which states require the existence of typical officer positions? Perhaps list out what California, Washington state, and New York require.

As noted in the Officers section of the handbook, Delaware doesn't require any specific positions.
Under the "internal affairs doctrine" of U.S. federal law, it's doubtful that another state can technically require that a Delaware corporation appoint a specific officer position, but some states purport to do so and it's most pragmatic to simply comply with their requirement. For example, California and New York (though not Washington) require that Delaware corporations doing business within their borders disclose the following specific officers:

- CA - CEO, Secretary and CFO

- NY – CEO

* What is the distinction between CEO and President? CFO and Treasurer?

For early stage startups, there’s not much distinction between CEO and President or CFO and Treasurer. Generally, the board of directors determines the officer positions and duties. In many cases this is spelled out in a startup’s bylaws. For example, under the bylaws on Clerky, the CEO has general supervision and control of the business and other officers. The President has the same duties as the CEO, but is subordinate to the CEO. The CFO and Treasurer also have similar duties – to handle the startup’s financial matters, including deposits, maintaining books, etc., but the CFO supervises and directs the treasurer’s responsibilities.

* What are the pros and cons of formally naming all the co-founders as officers of the corporation (assuming the typical 2-3 founder situation)?

One of the pros of naming all of the co-founders as officers is convenience. Everyone has the ability to sign things (bank account, tax returns, etc.) and it’s handy to not have to track down one specific founder. For some teams, for whatever reason, having all of the founders hold an officer title seems to improve the dynamic amongst the founders.

A potential con is the time spent on these sort of corporate formalities, but that’s not usually an issue when there’s a healthy founder relationship.
I agree with these parts of your argument:

() The big problem we have had, particularly as regards software patents, is that it has been much too easy to get one. They need to be restricted to actual technological advances, and not just cases where changes in the landscape enable applications that are novel but obvious, like sending document scans over email. (A document scan is digital data; email is a transmission medium; sending data over a medium has been done since the telegraph.)

() It's not at all clear that the existence of NPEs per se is a problem. As long as we allow patent rights to be sold at all -- and I don't really see how we could prevent it; any rules we came up with could be gamed -- I don't see how we could prevent their sale to NPEs. And then, the fact that an entity is non-practicing doesn't seem to me to justify denying it its rights.

() "I fear that focusing on so-called patent trolls will simply result in superficial legislative and judicial solutions." -- I share this concern to some extent.

However, I don't entirely dismiss the patent troll problem either. I think the rules around patent litigation have made it too easy for NPEs, armed with low-quality patents, to shake down innocent businesses. There's just not enough risk to filing an infringement suit in bad faith. I think judges have to be empowered to fine plaintiffs for abusing the system, at least to the point of requiring them to pay the reasonable attorney's fees of the defendant if the suit is unsuccessful. It would have to be at the judge's discretion, as we don't want to discourage independent inventors from filing legitimate infringement suits against large companies. Specific evidence of abusive litigation would have to be present, such as:

() Suing end users of a product, who are much less able to defend themselves than the manufacturer.

() Inability to provide specific evidence of actual infringement: to say exactly what the defendant has done that infringed what claims of the patent.

() Forum shopping.

() The patent is invalidated on review.

Ask HN: Let's return to civility
Political-detox week[0] recently ended[1] (especially [2]) in which the resolution is that abstaining completely from politics is difficult since it touches many things and that the current guidelines' treatment of politics is correct.

However, I believe a large part of the problem isn't just the politicization of HN, it is that recent events (and people's response to events) have inflamed emotion in many people on all sides, which prompts us not just to share more political stories, but to respond in that spirit of emotion. Such response is understandable; I have been part of it too.

So, I offer my suggestion, that we return to civility. One of the great things about HN is that the level of discourse here is so much better than any almost community I've engaged with. Politics touches many aspects of our lives including the stuff that matters to hackers, so yes it will be inevitable that political stories will surface. And, yes, having political discussions even on only partly political stories will probably be inevitable[3]. However, even in those discussions, especially in those discussions, we must remember to try to remain civil, to not be overly negative or harsh or aggressive, to practice the principle of charity, etc. In fact, here is my political opinion, such level of civility will actually help us understand our points clearer, and can only help advance the discussion. That has remained true for almost all topics on HN, I can estimate that it help in these threads too.

The interesting thing about Google though, is their seemingly humble roots and how quickly they rose to billions in ad revenue. I still remember when they didn't exist. I believe that kind of quick, meteoric rise is a relatively new phenomena. A company of Google's scale would've taken 100 years to build, 50 years ago.

Your examples don't need late binding to have different semantics — dynamic dispatch will suffice. That's not different from any other OO language (except perhaps in C++ for non-virtual methods). That's how we get polymorphism out of subtypes, after all: methods are resolved based on the dynamic value of the receiver at runtime, yielding single dynamic dispatch. Regardless of language, the `this` or `self` reference within a method always semantically behaves as if it were an additional parameter (except in typed languages where the variance under the subtyping relation is reversed, iirc), and is often implemented as such, albeit usually implicitly.

Of course, late binding implies dynamic dispatch, but the reverse isn't true. On the other hand, almost every untyped OO language uses late binding (I can't even think of one that doesn't, off the top of my head...), as do some typed languages (those that target the .NET CLR, for example), so even with your stronger assertion JS far from unique in that regard.

That behavior is standard fare for OO. If anyone finds it tricky, I find it more likely that the struggling programmer has yet to internalize OO than that JS is doing something strange (in this particular case, I mean... JS does plenty of strange shit otherwise ;) ).
Napkin math suggests you are wrong, the grand parent is right.

I can't find the exact stats but in the US there are 2+ million injuries per year caused by road traffic crashes. We know there are around 300k signalized intersections [1]. If we estimate non-signalized intersections (ie. those with STOP signs) to 20x that number, that's 6 million non-signalized intersections. If 20% of injuries happen at intersections and are randomly distributed across intersections, then on average there will be 1 injury at a given intersection every 15 years.

So yeah it is likely that "multiple injuries" have occured at mosts intersections in the country.

Of those 5, 4 occurred in propeller craft. I think that it is relevant to include that kind of difference. Regional airlines and major airlines do work differently.
Actually moving parallel to it would make the artifacts worse as it'd distort the projection based on distance (i.e. parallax). With a rotation if you're rendering it onto a sphere, doing that rotation will have a very little amount of distortion from it comparatively. It still needs to be rerendered to be correct but this can allow for better intra-frame changes (say game runs at 60 hz, and you need 120hz) with less computation. As a sibling (to you) commenter pointed out, this will make the image slightly "fuzzy" or softer because you end up moving the image on a fractional amount of pixels. As I understand it though, that extra intra-frame can mean the difference between some people getting a VR migraine or not.

You better get to believing, because it is right within the realm of reality. Chrome is _terrible_.
I wonder if it does it to create intra-frame changes from rotation and/or motion of the head. If it does then that could help a lot with the experience
