I do all of it. Get up at 5:30, take a cold shower, meditate, hit the gym (3 days lifting, 2 days cardio, weekend off). Strict diet - counting calories, macro nutrients, supplements, always analyzing, improving, observing, researching. Balanced sleep routine. No bad habits like smoking, drinking, taking recreation drugs. I also play acoustic guitar, apparently it can add up to 7 points to your IQ and is generally a positive influence on overall wellbeing. Routine and discipline is the key.
I think it can take a hundred milliseconds or more to actually capture. It has to switch the camera from preview mode to capture, which involves a change in resolution, encoding and perhaps recalibrating white balance and automatic gain. So press the button and hold for a beat, or when you release the button you make shake/blur the image at the moment of capture.
For me, C programming is kind of like Calculus, Physics to modern day Engineering.

If you don't know Calculus, Physics, you can be a very good construction workers but hard to know the fundamental behind why/how the Buildings, Cars, Airplanes, are designed that ways.

Same for C, if you don't know C. You can certainly a very good program Python, java script, web developers, but might not have deep understand of Kernel, Browser, Database, Network, nor why Java, Go and Rust need all those new language features.

Hrm, I tinkered a bit about a year ago and it was ~10 mins.
Please. You really think the government hasn't decided anything in your life? The very infrastructure of the USA and why it is an oil-guzzling, car-crazy country is thanks to government design. The ghettoisation of urban neighbourhoods, resulting in poor education and high crime rates came about thanks to government legislation.

Unless you have a very comfortable income so you can buy your way into a relatively "government-safe" situation (which is made available to the rich thanks to more government intervention btw), then you are very much at the whim of the government (or powerful corporations, which are essentially the same thing) for much of your basic day-to-day operations.

It would be the same amount of data if they scale the image on the client and transfer it. The problem isn't compression quality or resolution, it's that it doesn't properly autofocus or adjust for very bright or low light conditions.

I have made countless cross-platform AR apps for mobile and desktop. Never an issue with WebRTC/getUserMedia, iOS, windows, etc. However Android is always a nasty problem. From incorrect aspect resolutions, image stretching, silent fails. Each device needs a custom fix which is time consuming and costly. No wonder why Snapchat went an alternative route.
I would have followed up with that concern.
Keep in mind that in some cultures prolonging talks is a form of saying "No". Continue trying to get to "no" with the current potential customers. But at the same time, keep looking for potential customers who will quickly say "yes". That's who you really want. The two ways to get to "yes" are: finding the right potential customers and building the right product. Mostly it is building the right product and the right product is one that solves an immediate pain for the customer.

Good luck.
Soylent- the UBI of nutrition!

Soylent distribution machines in every school and prison cafeteria, on street corners, any place where food scarcity exists. Each has a single button which dispenses a soylent, free of charge. No limits, no strings. All the soylent you can carry! Do away with food stamps- send 150 bottles of soylent a month, by mail, to any human being who can ask for it.
Not quite as tiring as people complaining about it. Just drop the style sheet and continue reading.
One thing I was talking about with some other people is to have a community kitchen. You could buy prepared food, or if you have more time than money you could buy the ingredients sold there and make it yourself in the kitchen. This could be really great for people that lack a kitchen (like college students) or for people who weren't taught how to cook.

The major problem with this is who's responsible for cleanup, and how would we divide labor for this place. What do y'all think?
If you want to blame private grocery stores for obesity (and I don’t think you can), it’s only because they don’t exist in poor areas and they’re too hard to get to. If the government wants to attack the problem, public transport is the solution, not “free” restaurants. Public transport is an example of something governments are good at.

> Bitcoin transactions are pretty simple in what they do. You can do one single thing. One type of transaction. Skipping some details, it all boils down to TO (who is receiving money), FROM (who is sending money) and AMOUNT (how much money). This let’s bitcoin be a store of value with the capability to transfer the value between participants in the network.

Doesn't Bitcoin script allow you to do far more complex things than just send btc from person A to person B?
There's one huge flaw with the American Free Diner, and it's that it would inevitably be supplied by a place like Sysco or Aramark. Not only that, it would be the cheapest option with the lowest quality ingredients, and it would still wind up being relatively expensive to run.

I remember the Malcolm Gladwell piece ripping Bowdoin for serving good food, and thinking how he got it all wrong. There are so many schools that wind up with garbage from Aramark, and they still pay an arm and a leg for it.
But... that's not using GPUs? What use is a ML benchmark that is only measuring CPU usage?
Does it matter? I don't expect someone from corporate to be regularly sweeping my Motel 6 room for hidden cameras. That doesn't mean I don't have an expectation of privacy or that Motel 6 has no responsibility to protect that expectation.

Wow, that article is excellent, and says everything I could have said, but better.

> really high-quality information that is useful for decision makers in relevant fields

Decision makers of any import have no shortage of high quality information. The availability of information is not a significant limiting factor on good decisions by powerful people. For example: Trump has the greatest information resources in the known world at his command yet he makes shitty decisions basically nonstop.

A shortage of information is not the social problem of today. The big social problem today is the selection of information. That has more to do with tribal trust and culture than the information itself.

For all the shortcomings of Wikipedia (and there are many), it is a source of information that is widely trusted and used across tribal boundaries. A "news" organization that achieves the same thing would be good.

There are plenty of people and orgs doing great investigations. The problems are getting them eyeballs, and getting past the trust barrier.

Who knows if Wikitribune will do it.

Supposedly that's why its been successful. Or at least that's what the HN crowd tells me why teenagers like the app.

Personally, I don't buy it. Snapchat still manages to onboard new users who eventually learn how to use the app despite all its shortcomings, because people really want to use Snapchat. Having 'good UX' is just a shortcut for having people inside your app who aren't as committed to it.

I wouldn't be so sure about that. There are a lot of "about to switch" people out there, in both directions, who are just waiting for either the extra nudge or the extra reason to not switch.
Show HN: Turn your SMS into postcards for your grandma, every month
So handsome! I love him!
OP here.

Built this to solve my own problem: remembering to send updates to my across-country grandparents.

Instead of trying to teach them how to use instragram/facebook/twitter/snapchat to see my updates, I thought it would be easier to convert my digital updates into an experience they are already used to: mail.

Every month, the services sends an SMS reminder to reply with a picture or two + a caption. We then hand design the postcards and ship them to your recipient.

Though the product & designs are built for the elderly, we also have a few customers using it for other loved ones in their life.

While nothing beats picking up the phone to call my grandmother, I've noticed that sending monthly postcards makes it easier to contact her. I now have less guilt about being in touch with her so I have less anxiety about calling her. It also gives us topics to talk about—she asks me about the pictures I've sent her.
I only heard him say "Never swipe to the page on the right".
My girlfriend noticed that she can use filters now. She has iPhone 4S. That may be related. I don't notice any other difference myself.
My SO decided to go to a web dev bootcamp a few years back. Before they went, I taught them 6502 asm so that they'd have some idea of how a computer works under the hood. It seems to have helped, and they were clearly the top of their class.

Albeit it's hard to separate the effects of that from simply living with someone who can talk with you at the end of each day of class.

If I were to go through it again, I'd do it with an MSP430 instead. The 6502's lack of registers that are the same width as the address bus (and therefore the multiple steps of indirection required for full pointers) obfuscated some of the concepts I was trying to convey.
Data protection laws? Provide some examples.

Google does this on all of their products. And people that have left Google have made their own versions of this software for others to use. For example: https://www.fullstory.com/
Let me tell this to you. No normal company operating in Germany can write in their internal rules that relationships between executives and subordinates are forbidden (maybe the military can do this). This is against the law "Persönlichkeitsrecht". If it affects visible the work for others then it can have consequences but the knowledge alone that an executive and subordinate have a romantic relationship cannot be declared as wrong in Germany. Another example for prove: http://www.bottroper-anwalt.de/artikel/liebe-arbeitsplatz-wa...
That's Privacy Badger's USP: https://www.eff.org/privacybadger
Not necessarily. I don’t know how the decision was actually written. It may not have protected all coworker relationships. The fact that a newspaper article phrases is that way doesn’t mean it’s entirely accurate.
And especially for email clients, they sucked. You know why? Cause I couldn't check my email anywhere. With mobile devices this is less of an issue. But even with those, often I want to access an account I don't have (or don't even want to have) configured on my phone/tablet.

And guess what, nothing beats the convenience of the web's 0-install in those cases.
The BBC Micro didn't have the UK schools market entirely to itself.

I was born in 1971 and both my primary and secondary schools had LINK 480Z computers by Research Machines. The primary school only had the one, but the secondary school had a lab with 12 or 16 (I forget) of them. Later on it replaced them with a larger number of RM Nimbus PCs (again from Research Machines) which used 80186 processors. Yes, you read that right: 80186 processors. As you'd expect, they were not properly compatible with real PCs.

I was lucky enough to get a BBC Micro at home a couple of years after starting secondary school; my parents held off because they thought that maybe it was just a short-term interest. I think they might be convinced by now.

In 2010, 18 million people lived in a food desert, without reasonable accessibility to any grocery store, and 41.2 million people live in a food-insecure household.

That's 10 percent of the population with no access to healthy food, and 1 in 7 Americans going hungry every year.

And this guy wants to build Diners (where no grocery stores exist) and not only collect food there, but cook and serve it to people. And thinks this will solve our nutrition problems.

Sorry, but this guy is a fucking idiot. Besides the fact that this would be a bigger infrastructure project than fixing all our ailing bridges and roads, How are you going to handle thousands of people all wanting to eat at the same time? Are you going to provide transportation for them all? Leftovers? Handle all possible allergies, dietary and religious restrictions? Is the food going to cover a range of cuisines, since people in the US all come from varying backgrounds and traditions?

There's probably a thousand different problems with forcing people to go to a specific place every single day just to get a meal, besides the fact that this would never get funded by the government, because almost all food banks and soup kitchens are privately funded, because the government won't.
I have a lot of software I bought on the App Stores for Mac and iOS, hundreds, maybe even over a thousand dollars' worth. If I switch platforms, I can't use that software any more.

As a European that has moved to the USA, I find these "food deserts" here appalling. In order to have access to local, fresh, quality ingredients, you need to be in an outrageously high income bracket. There is absolutely a food supply problem.
That's a pretty dramatic take. Social media use in general probably declines with age, and although I'm not sure how you'd quantify it, I bet that using social media primarily as a form of social proofing declines even quicker with age. All young people "perform" because their self-awareness is on extra high alert and their personalities are half-baked. This has been true since the dawn of high schools.

Potential improvements:
— Ability to find items from the event directory with a search field.

— Ability to filter items (groups / events / etc.) based on a type. For example, “show only groups with recent events” as a way to put the relevant content to the top of the list.

— Stop using “jumbotron” CSS element in the top, because it wastes a lot of room from the actual content of the service.

— Redesign (maybe with a card layout?) to modernise the visual layout. Tachyons http://tachyons.io/ has some building blocks to start with… (even if you decide to keep the old Bootstrap -based structure in the beginning of a rewrite).

This is a very insightful comment. I think one relevant factor is the demand for factual information vs entertainment content.

I struggle with what the appropriate mindset should be for someone undertaking journalism. Is a pre-existing belief in the legitimacy of various institutions/governments helpful or harmful to the process? Is respect/deference to officials, wealthy people, celebrities, etc., helpful or harmful?

Because there is so much demand for entertainment (of which partisan reporting is one form) I am really not sure how much actual demand there is for truthful, in-depth coverage.

The choice of what to cover entails a view foisted upon readers that some things are more worthy of our attention than others. So how can a journalism organization be upfront about the inevitable gaps in coverage so that readers will know to ask for coverage and know that the org is aware of the topic but lacks resources to cover it.

For instance, a story about the issues going on in Syria and no story about decaying highway infrastructure might entail the belief that one is important and the other is not important. So I think the ideal news organization would locate every story on some sort of content map that defined exactly where it fit into the organization's broader mission.

A story about Syria might be filed under "America's foreign engagements" and a story about decaying highways could be filed under "Tracking America's infrastructure quality and infrastructure projects". Personally I would love to see lots of coverage of infrastructure, as it is one of the few ways we can hold local, state and national governments accountable for one of their most important responsibilities.

But the idea of a front page that reflects (only) everything that is important that day is where (I think) the biases start to creep in.

Anyway, sorry about the digression, just wanted to express my appreciation for the parent comment.

I don’t know, isn’t this the same as all social media? I remember reading something along the lines that playing golf is posted on Facebook twice as much as doing the dishes, yet people spend 5x more time doing the dishes.

And if we step back from social media, what about regular pictures? They’re supposed to take candid moments of the real world, but even if we’re having a bad day, we smile and act happy for pictures.

I agree that a divide between reality and ideal is happening here, just that it isn’t really new.

It's so weird how different our perspectives are given that my father too left when I was 6. Despite feeling some... I dunno, I guess a wish that I'd had a relationship with him. But I don't feel any bitterness or anger towards him. He did what was right for him and I can't fault him for that. Sure, it meant I didn't have a Dad and we now don't have a relationship because there was never time for that to grow, so that's a little sad, but I don't harbor any resentment for that. I'll have a pint with him if I see him, he's a nice guy, I like what I know of him, I see a lot of myself in him, but he may as well just be some other guy. We've probably not spent more than 6 months of time together in total since I was 6. I'll be 42 this year. It would be easy to harbour resentment for that, but what's the point? It doesn't serve any purpose, it won't change anything. It won't bring us closer together. It'll just make two people feel bad without any positive value.
