Do you get arrested for crimes you did not commit sufficiently often to make recording all your activities worthwhile, or is this primarily of value to the incredibly paranoid?
What if we make this gadget even smaller and embed it into, say, glasses, then connect it with portable hard drive? I am too lazy to do the calculations, but assuming the disk space for a month worth of footage costs $300, it is not out of reach of average person. Maybe our children will have complete record of their lives, will always be able to recall what happened to them, what are the names of people they met, what they have agreed upon, what really happened during last blackout etc. They will never have to search for the lost things, they will just rewind the video log to see where they had put them.

The downside is that this limits the privacy and makes people do what they are supposed to do, and not what the actually want to do -- their boss (parents, teacher etc.) will just look up the video and see what one had done at his work (school) time. We also really would not want anyone to browse our life record as they wish. The data will need to be heavily encrypted and protected from unauthorized access.
New Project - The Programming Games Wiki
As a big fan of programming games I've always wished for a decent site with information about the different games. After waiting in hope I finally gave in and created my own :-)

If you're a fan of programming games I'd love to hear from you.

Otherwise please feel free to criticise my choice of platform :-P

I recently participated in a fashion startup. There are a number of books you might want to read to get a crash course in the business, one in particular is Fashion for Profit by Frances Harder.
MacPorts can be hard to grep if you haven't used a BSD before (not that it's great anyway), and Fink is a bit more painful than apt et al.

If you're on OSX, the ace up it's sleeve is Homebrew[1]. Definitely the easiest package management system anywhere.

Places I have lived where more people cycle the drivers have a better attitude. Cambridge, Amsterdam and Vancouver are great to cycle in, London reasonable, smaller industrial cities where cycling is rare = terrible

I used to commute on a motorbike and the cars to be very careful of were:
SUV with mom in the front and a kid in the back, BMW with guy wearing suit, hot hatchback with 4 teenagers in - you just gave any of those a wide berth!
I'm 43 and got accepted. It would be interesting to know some stats on all this stuff.
Similar to the famous Boston cemetery study. It shows the age at death of people in a cemetery drops linear as you approach the current date. whereas people 100years ago all died in their 60-80s
Xoom.com, Western Union, Moneygram, Payoneer are also some options. Haven't used them though. PayPal is definitely a winner for Freelancers.
You should check out Homebrew for Mac. I've found it a little bit more reliable than Macports, and it's actually reasonably easy to create your own packages. To create a new package you can just `brew create http://foo.org/crufty-package.tar.gz` and 90% of the time the generated recipe just works and the other 10% it requires you to tweak the (quite readable) ruby file.

Also, while Homebrew has an official repo, it's managed through git and hosted on Github. So for any given piece of software, chances are pretty good that someone out there has packaged it.
The people in their study (a group of 12, "bunch of volunteers, usually undergraduates but sometimes businesspeople or graduate students") don't seem like a group that would actually understand the value of their assets despite the value being explicitly clear for purposes of this study. They should do the study with a group of 100 financial experts and see if the results are the same.
Thanks for the great ideas! We're definitely going to implement them.

Two important facts about rare earths help explain why: They're not earths, and they're not rare.
Mostly against primitive fighters particularly on the Russian front. Assuming similar exaggeration of successes by each sides publicity offices you can probably divide the figures by 2 or 4.

Even if all these had been against night heavy bombers it's a tiny part of the losses
There are two tools that I really like -- Zotero does a great job of organizing references, keeping related things together, and has a decent search capability. The target audience is academia, but it works just as well for other kinds of use cases. I also keep a personal wiki running on my laptop to take down notes and organize my thoughts. I've tried a bunch of them and Confluence from Atlassian is my favorite. It has the ability to embed all kinds of different media and it's $10. Xwiki is pretty good too.

edit: bad grammar :)
For those who haven't seen, it appears this blog post was prompted by this Quora discussion: http://www.quora.com/Why-did-Wesabe-shut-down-while-Mint-did...
What Does Success Mean To You?
Or you you could do the next best thing and only have sex with one person who also only has sex with you otherwise known as monogamy. You get the sex and the safety. Best of both worlds. The rest of the world may act harmfully but that doesn't mean you have to.

If your comparing the two options of

* Low risk wiser people increasing their risk and acting less wise so that high risk less wise people can have their cake and eat it to
* Or High risk less wise people lowering their risk and acting more wise.

I think option 2 sounds like a better if more difficult goal to shoot for.
I highly doubt this had much if anything to do with it.

I think it has much more to do with how you presented yourself and what you put on your application. I graduated from Oklahoma State University and do not have a résumé that I would brag about, especially compared to many here.

Perhaps it was tongue-in-cheek, but I'm not sure the "leave your marriage" advice has any backing whatsoever; in fact, it would appear to be quite the opposite effect on one's lifespan:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/4779267.stm

"Those who had been widowed were almost 40% more likely to die, and those who had been divorced or separated were 27% more likely to die. "

Overall, the article felt light on facts - even the title is even fairly linkbaity (live forever!). For an article on increased lifespan (with citations instead of hand-waving), this article is much better:

Try to stay in Palo Alto - the commute from the city is long enough (45-60m) to make it worth it.

Plus Palo Alto is awesome (but pricy).
I'm so sad that so many HNers can not understand what is the real value added by Ubuntu.
If more hardware is supported, it's because the kernel tends to get drivers for most hardware nowadays. If apps are getting better, it's not because of Ubuntu, but because of the apps developers.
The power of Ubuntu is only on marketting.
That said, if 95% of all components work on Ubuntu, maybe 99% of common components work on it, maybe 99.99% of things Dell sells work on it. You're still stuck by that $15 webcam Mom bought at Walmart, though.
So clearly it's not a billion dollar business.

Emacs is actually specified in the (leaked) script. I was very impressed when I saw that.
Reflectors do something, but not much. Cycling at night is fricking dangerous at the best of times, and cycling at night without lights relying on your reflectors is damn near suicidal (and also illegal in Florida where this story takes place):

http://www.floridabicycle.org/rules/bikelaw.html

If this dude was really riding without lights in the middle of the night then his fate seems more Darwin Award-worthy than anything else.
Someone was actually trying to do this in UK (saw them on Dragon's Den). Good idea but needs marketing power.
Suppose you have two variations of a gene; one produces larvae that prefer the taste of a vital organ, and eat that one first. The other variation prefers the taste of a less important organ, eating that first and eating the important organ only when it has exhausted its preferred option. If the second one is on average 5% more likely to complete its growing before the roach dies and its food supply rots, the second variation is likely to displace the first.

Why would larvae eat only one organ at a time in the order of taste preference in the first place? Well if two variations of a gene exist, and one produces larvae that are not picky and damage many organs while feeding, while another produces larvae that are picky and thereby confine their damage to.one organ at a time, then if the second behavior is more successful it will begin to replace the first.

The central.message of modern Darwinism is the accumulation of small changes can lead to big evolutions. Obviously I cannot say what the exact mechanism of this instance was but what I gave are examples of the types of incremental changes that may have contributed. Your incredulity is based on a straw man argument: you ask how does the animal know what the right order is, as if that had to come all at once ex nihilo.
> The technology consists of software that uses ultrasonic waves to create pressure on the hand of a user "touching" the projected hologram.

How do you suppose putting pressure on the hand creates the illusion of touch, other than by the sensation of touch? Would anything, for you, count as the sensation (and not merely the illusion) of touch, other than having an actual solid object there?
But are the voters any better?

The Myth of the Rational Voter: Why Democracies Choose Bad Policies is a 2007 book written by Bryan Caplan challenging the notion that voters are reasonable people that society can trust to make laws. Rather, Caplan contends that voters are irrational in the political sphere and have systematically biased ideas concerning economics. ...

The book is notable in use of irrationality, a rare assumption in economics. Yet the work is also a challenge to conventional public choice, where voters are seen as rationally ignorant. Conventional public choice either emphasizes the efficiency of democracy (as in the case of Donald Wittman) or, more commonly, democratic failure due to the interaction between self-interested politicians or bureaucrats, well-organized, rent-seeking minority interests and a largely indifferent general public (as in the work of Gordon Tullock, James M. Buchanan, and many others). Caplan, however, emphasizes that democratic failure does exist and places the blame for it squarely on the general public. He makes special emphasis that politicians are often caught between a rock and a hard place: thanks to advisors, they know what policies would be generally beneficial, but they also know that those policies are not what people want. Thus they are balancing good economic policy (so they don’t get voted out of office due to slow growth) and bad economic policy (so they don’t get voted out of office due to unpopular policies).

“Some 40 percent of students pay list price,” Trachtenberg says. “These are people from wealthy families; I have no compunction about charging them list price. They can afford it.” But the school’s financial aid numbers make it clear that the picture is a little more complicated.

It doesn't outright say so, but it seems that Trachtenberg is relying on the canard that students attending on loans are not actually paying full price, which is absurd.

I actually had a college send me an embossed certificate in the mail awarding me a "Faculty of Arts and Sciences Scholarship." It was a low-interest loan. I felt like they were making fun of me. It was humiliating. I really wanted to go to that school, and it was like getting an embossed "Fuck you" in the mail.
OS X comes preinstalled with Apache. No need for OS X server.
I've yet to have one of the "bad" problems with PayPal, but I'm always trying to stay a step ahead of them when I can.

For instance, if you're expecting a higher-than-normal sales volume (e.g. a launch day, version upgrade, promotion), it doesn't hurt to give their Merchant Services department a phone call (the number I was given was 866-837-1851).

Be sure you ask for Merchant Services if you're not connected to them by default—it's a whole other support organization from what I could gather on my last phone call with them a month or so ago.

They may be taken aback by the reason for your call, but you can go over your phone numbers and addresses with them to make sure they can get a hold of you in the event that a fraud trigger is hit. If they can't speak with you, they have no other choice but to shut you down until you call them.

You can also get them to put a note on your account about the expected volume increase, so that when the activity does go into review, it may not be such a harsh reaction (e.g. freezing withdrawals temporarily rather than totally shutting down incoming funds.)

For the price of their service, the wide range of things you can do with their APIs, and the support I've received thus far, there's not a whole lot left to complain about IMO. Maybe my tune will change if I experience some of the "trouble" you hear about online, but I think that the proactive approach I describe above may help prevent that from ever happening.
...and one key body of lobbied law is called the Code of Federal Regulations or CFR. It is an Executive Branch body of law, "judicially noticed" and therefore unquestionable as to its legitimacy. Regulations are drafted by bureaucrats in federal agencies, published as draft in the Federal Register, and eventually accepted into law. Once published in the CFR, it is law. A few of the Executive Branch agencies include DEA, FTC, FCC, and DOT. Check it out.

Wow, it must have been intellectually tiring for him to go through fifty-five years of life without ever saying anything that was true.

I use delicious to bookmark the articles, and put in a snippet of the article that helps me remember what it was about.

It was my rudimentary understanding that Lamarckian inheritance had been debunked; how else then could such precise knowledge of a cockroach's neurological functions have been passed on to the subsequent generation from the primary generation whence such a technique was first employed?

WOW. Thanks for sharing that article. I'm sorry I missed it when it came out. An article full of novel insights and heartfelt interest in the subject. And I used to work for the company the author headed ten years ago!

Highly recommended, and I'd point out that it's highly relevant the the meme du jour, which is that if you're not paying, you don't have the privileges associated with being a customer. Employer-purchased health insurance and bureaucratic health care programs have robbed patients of their power to be customers, and it's something I was never clued into before.

"I hope the service fails, and I worry if it succeeds."

Why? What is the point of hoping it to fail? And why would you be worried if it succeeded? If you could answer the latter questions with any sort of logic I would be impressed.

If Qwiki succeeds, some number of people like their product. If people like their product, than Qwiki added value for those people.

So the question is, are you against Qwiki's intrinsic value proposition and offering, even though people might find it valuable? Or are you just against it because you don't think people will find it valuable?

If it is the latter, you should reword your story, title, and comment.
Topguest, an LBS startup soon to be based in San Francisco.

If you live somewhere other than SF, we could potentially pick you up on our migratory drive from NY. Or give you a couch to crash on when we get there.
Thats exactly what I was thinking.
Sounds accurate. They are only hoping now, not longer confident it will happen. They can still dream.
It's not a "review" so much as it is Lessig explaining why he is different, why he is important, and why he matters to you.

The pretentious tone (ridiculous parentheticals, using and linking "grok" for no reason) doesn't help, but all he does is criticize Sorkin for, as a "Hollywood type", missing the real story, which is how awesome and revolutionary the Internet is; plus apparently making the lawyers look too good. There should totally have been another line in the movie like, "Hey, by the way, isn't the Internet awesome and revolutionary? I'm not asking anyone's permission, in case you missed it, to put this website online. Compare _that_ to old models of distribution!"

He's talking down to both the moviemakers and the audience simultaneously, saying everyone will miss the _profundity_ of what this means about the Internet, like some bigger-egoed Sagan who criticizes space films that don't drive home how _big_ and _amazing_ the universe is, a perspective that too few seem to appreciate.

A lot of people make this point. I'm not sure I'm ready to pass quick judgement that the restaurant owner should reward loyalty with money. Restaurant owners can be pretty poor and a 50 cent raise would result in the owner having ~$1300 less in his pocket every year. While he appreciates loyalty, he might rather suck up the extra effort of replacing dishwashers than rewarding loyal ones. He could be armpit deep in debt, have a child in college, or otherwise have reasons that money is tight. Or, yeah, he COULD just be a rich asshole (note: restaurants are not cash cows).

The first time I ran a small business, I was shocked at how my thinking turned here. Someone asks for a raise and the money goes straight out of my pocket if I say yes. Which isn't a simple decision if the business isn't a huge profit center.
What makes the US health care system so expensive – Administration and Insurance
Oh, yay, I would have got a few percent off the list price that I was 70% away from affording.

They could have given me that money up-front, right? Only that would have been too honest. The fact that they called a loan a "scholarship" is all you need to know about how much respect they had for kids' understanding. They rely on kids not knowing what it's like to pay off loans. Or on kids wanting to cash in on their degree after college, which I had no desire to do.

I've been to parties in the bike room of the porc and I've been to Henley, both are pretty much as described. If anything Harvard is actually a lot more waspish and cliquey than they make it out to be. It's not the majority of the students but it has an enormous effect on the culture.
I don't get it. Unless the total cost of college was more than you're planning to make over your entire career (which I doubt) then how are you 70% away from affording it?
A few months ago I was looking for games of the kind you are listing on this site. I came up with more or less the same results of programs. Since I was looking for something that would allow me to link a neural network into an robot interface and compete with other programs none of them really helped me (though some of them are quite funny on their own of course)

But I found at least two other programs, that may be of interest to visitors of your site. The first (quite obvious) is the RoboCup site:
http://www.robocup.org/

No, you don't need to own a team of robots, since they offer a Simulation League:
http://www.robocup2011.org/en/content.asp?PID={EBB75948-5058...

So you can run your code in an rather complex environment, simulating a complex game and real robots.
Simulator software is here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/sserver/develop

Only bad point is, that it will run only in Windows.

Another interesting project for people interested in an even more realistic environment is the Player/Stage/Gazebo project.
This software (intended for research) allows to simulate real robots, their sensor hardware and environments. Software written can be used in the simulation module or in real robots.
While it is no game, the software could be used to build any kind of environment for robots to cooperate and compete.

I also wanted to do something in LINQ (LINQ to XML to be specific).
Around that time I was looking at Notational Velocity and it's Windows "clones". So I went and create something really quickly and decided to make it a bigger project.
