Huge Virus Breakthrough Could Mean a Cure For the Common Cold
GPS is unlikely to work from inside the cargo hold of an airplane.

But someone with a very long yagi antenna could probably transmit a signal to an overhead airplane. Due to the way airplanes travel only in corridors it wouldn't be too hard to set someone up on the ground.

File-sharing in such form may not be anonymous, for example one may keep a snapshot of what's on that disk, and then check again after somebody have used it. That could catch anyone wet-handed for sharing anything, albeit legal or illegal. The anonymity is not as easy to preserve as it sounds like.

Likewise some may put virus into the disk (internally or automatically due to the virus itself) which the next person may not have their computers patched and have no anti-virus installed.
Here's the freakishly quote: "...Garry Kasparov's brain is freakishly efficient, it's running on about 23 watts while Deep Blue doesn't know how to use energy that efficiently. So, one of the problems that biological computers have solved is how to take in energy and turn it almost into, magically, freakishly efficient computation."

The analogy should work both ways, though. I'm pretty sure Kasparov couldn't add 100 billion numbers together inside of a second, either. Nor is there any amortization of the cost of his currently 23-watt brain; how about the energy expended during years of development of his brain, whereas the computer could be produced with relatively low energy cost?

It should be of no surprise that humans are efficient at calculating things of survival importance, like emotion, decisions, etc. Over the span of billions of years, across tens of millions of square kilometers, under an algorithm where failure means permanent termination, our brains have evolved out of necessity to be that efficient. To me, it is far more freakish how efficient computers are at doing what they do. In under a second, billions of computations can occur in my several year old machine, all in some exact order, and without error. With that in mind, it's even more freakish that it often takes so much time to open Firefox.

How to get Paul Graham to take you to lunch and review your start-up idea
If you're in the Bay Area, dying to sit down w/ Paul Graham, here's one quick and easy way to get what you want and help out a worthy cause at the same time.

Bing Nursery School, affiliated with Stanford University and 1 of the top ten nursery schools in the US, is holding its annual Autumn fundraising auction on Sat. Nov. 13, 6pm, to raise money for scholarship fund, helping poor families to send their kids to Bing. Item #406 on the silent auction block is "Talk About Your Start-up w/ Paul Graham"!, estimate value is $500. The starting bid however is around $10. The auction is open to public.

Here's a partial description of the item:
"In this amazing opportunity, Paul will take you to lunch and spend an hour talking with you about your startup idea, or help you come up with an idea that is suited to you. Don't miss this once in a lifetime chance to help make your dream a reality!"

http://www.stanford.edu/dept/bingschool/giving_harvestmoon.html

Please help this worthy cause. Bing is an awesome school and I wish every parent can send their kids to Bing. Every year Bing staffs and parents put in so much efforts to raise around $300,000 so Bing can offer more scholarship to deserving families. This is your chance to help and get some help for yourself.

http://www.stanford.edu/dept/bingschool/index.html

Disclaimer: I'm a Bing parent and volunteering on the Solicitation team for this Bing auction. If you need help in either attending or bidding, please contact the school or PM me directly. Thanks.

More disclaimer: Paul Graham has nothing to do with this submission.

Add: if you want to bid and can't be at the auction, please contact Bing Nursery, they'll be happy to make arrangements for your bid.
And yet, even with the most amateur and underfunded campaign imaginable and opposition at all levels of government, it still got ~45% of the vote in a year that heavily favored conservatives.

I choose not to interpret this as a setback for legalization, but as proof that prohibition is in its dying throes.
Yes it is an achievement. Even a beggar owns a mobile phone. As an Indian what really bothers me is, you can get free sim card but to get a decent meal you have to spend 50-90 Rs (1-2$). Again most of the worker's daily wage is (3-4 $). The food prices are keep on increasing. Are we missing something?

In 2006 I met with many investors in Moscow, Russia, but the meeting ended unsuccessfully. Distance I then? Honestly, yes. But I was sure that they are just complete morons and do not understand what I did. I brought everything to the end and one year after the launch of my project was bought Fontlab, and now my technology used in Adobe Illustrator CS 5. I was upset now, after the YC rejection? Yes. But I really thought a great project and bring it to the end. We make a new Google. 2 people, Moscow. If you're interested, let me know - bourdine@gmail.com

While that seems like a bad idea now, there's a very necessary reason for Newton doing it that way.

Newton presented Calculus exclusively in the more complex language of Euclidean geometry in order for it to be taken seriously by the intelligentsia, the royalty, and clergy of the era, as well as to make a bold statement about the historical magnitude of his discovery. In that era, Euclid and Newton were the book ends bounding all that was known of mathematics and natural philosophy(proto-science). So of course he had to write it the same way way Euclid would. Euclid's manner of logic and geometrical reasoning was lauded and unchallenged by both the church and the king, so there would be no way to refute a proof built upon the same language.

I think there are two levels of refutations which Newton was guarding against. First, it's the typical peculiar trait of mathematicians to achieve perfectionism in a proof. The margin for error is zero-it's either all right or it's all wrong. Everything you are working on is either the most important thing in the world, or utterly worthless folly. So it's a point of immense personal pride to present a work that is complete, irrefutable, and entirely self-consistent.

Second, considering the political & religious climate of the time, had Newton shown calculus without Euclid, the religious implications could have easily blown up into a scandal because his physics starts the ball rolling in formally challenging
several major foundations of Christian theology. If you consider that Newton and all professors of the era at Cambridge had to be approved as official clergy in the Church of England, so his job and his future career success would depend highly on not outraging his superiors. Many men who spark revolutions by challenging ancient power structures end up tragic martyrs. But Newton navigated that problem with equal mastery. He ended up the Master of the Mint, was elected to parliament, grew immensely wealthy, had the ear of the Queen, and became so famous that visiting foreign celebrities would mark him as the first person to visit upon arriving-even before the Queen!

For many decades after the publication of the Principia, Newton in fact concealed the derivation of the calculus using mathematical terminology we would now easily recognize as being similar to our own. But he did write it all down, he just never published it. There's an interesting story about this manuscript. Newton's friend, the secretary of the Royal Society kept this paper in safekeeping and private. Leibniz once visited England before he was famous and influential, and Leibniz knew Newton's secretary and visited him in London. The secretary allowed Leibniz to read Newton's private manuscript, describing the derivation of calculus, which no other people had ever seen. Not too much later, after Leibniz returned to the continent, he published his own book demonstrating calculus. Newton recognized the plagiarism, Leibniz denied it, and they maintained an intense personal feud for the next 40 years.

All you need in a voting machine is something that can properly punch the cards. That's what the problem in 2000. You don't need to send the votes over the Internet or store anything on the machine. It doesn't need to be secure.

But you will need a PC that costs a couple hundred bucks. And a card punch machine that has been around for decades. In other words, commodity hardware.

Once you've made your choices and your ballot's punched, you should be able to walk it over to a completely different PC that has a punch card reader. And maybe its got software from a completely different organization. Did it record your choices properly? Confirmed. Now, drop it in the box.

Simple. No possibility for fraud and you got a paper trail.
You've got your chronology wrong, the cell phone was introduced 1973 (that's why the OpenMoko device was called Neo 1973), predating the Apple ][ by four years.
There is a high learning curve associated with it, but this is your resume. When the person is looking at it, they may have no other information on you as of yet, meaning this right here, is your first impression. If I can spend twice the effort on this, and get an "improvement" of 10 or 20% (I'll leave the choice of units of measurement up to the reader...), in my mind that's worth it.

It also doesn't have to be all that difficult. My resume is a style supplied by someone else (it's a pretty standard cv format) with some minor tweaks. Look at the source I linked, and I think you'll agree that it doesn't look all that complicated and probably could be modified with your information, and tweaked here and there to get a fairly unique resume.
I found it on NPR. http://www.californiareport.org/archive/R201010110850/b

You can find more details on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_23_(2010...

It covers the three refineries that are the primary donors, two from texas and one in kansas city. the fact that ab32's suspension would be for very long time (because unemployment is unlikely to be below 5% for a year for a very, very long time -- if ever.)

There is an argument, but it's assumptions aren't good. The long-term job growth from green business will FAR outpace job loss from AB32. Further, if job loss was a real concern, one would expect to see pro-labour interest groups come out in support of prop 23, which did not happen!

Even the California utilities (who will lose fiscally) from AB32 have come out against Prop 23.
No doubt. I've built/run ATG sites for about nine years now and they're the only company with worse pricing models, worse sales policies, and less honest CEOs than Oracle. I'm actually hoping the acquisition brings some sanity to their licensing.

As for Dynamo itself, consulting on broken ATG projects bought my house and car, paid for my wedding and law school, and has guaranteed I'll always be able to find work or a billable engagement.

And I have to say, business practices and fiduciary self-interest aside, I'd rather use Nucleus than Spring/Struts/Hibernate/etc. with their sloppy configuration and implementation mechanisms.

Don't get me started on how much I miss DAS...
It's ok. We get to try again in two years, four years, six years, however long it takes. Someone who isn't me can still drive three miles to Oakland and buy weed at a non-medical dispensary.

And Proposition 25 passed, which is actually more important to California, as it fixes the fatal flaw in California's constitution.

Wikipedia explains its composite parts in a thorough and neutral-ish way, the newspapers make an argument against it based on the probably outcomes of its policies. I expected that the reader of wikipedia would also use its details to conclude that it is untenable; I apologize for the implication that wikipedia also spelled out why it is bad law =/
I think its worth mentioning that winner-take-all elections prevent you from getting your interests represented. So this whole debate is like fiddling with the alignment of your wheels when the car's no longer on the road.
I have a 13" in the mail right now. Been an IBM guy all my life but decided to give this guy a try. I really needed a good comp to use as a ssh client while I'm on the go, and the portability of it all seemed nice. Only thing I'm hesitant about is the proprietary parts that are in the machine. If the RAM goes bad somewhere down the road, I can't simply grab a new stick off of newegg and take a screwdriver to the machine. Somewhat annoyed about that, but I can understand the need to do so in a machine that's trying to cut size as much as this.
I have a 12.1" Asus UL20A that I bought last December. It isn't as thin as the new Air, of course, but it is a great alternative if you want to spend less and aren't set on a Mac.

In the last decade, I think I've pulled out a debugger only a handful of times. Apparently many people use them, but for me, understanding my code, writing tests, and tossing in some printfs has always been the way.
I don't have a problem with debuggers, butfor me it is usually about having theories and testing them. This testing can happen in a debugger or in a print statement or in a test, but a test always seems like the best idea, and a print statement usually seems more straightforward to me than trying to stop and inspect my program while it is running.
I don't know. The code you are cloning is already public (exception: private repos), so it leaking to a third party is a non-issue. Additionally, a MITM changing the code on-the-fly to give you a troian horse is quite impossible to pull off as this would completely change revision IDs which you'd notice.

The reason for public http cloning be there at all (as opposed to the git protocol) is restrictive firewalls (git's http support still isn't perfect), which are more likely to cooperate with http as opposed to https
I haven't watched the videos, but be wary of anything that claims to simplify math into some awesomely brief time frame. In my experience you come away with a conceptual understanding, but no ability to apply it. Convolution, for example. 99% of pages on convolution spend a long time describing what it represents, and using nifty animations to show you, but you still come away unable to solve all but the most basic problems.

1 of the top ten nursery schools in the US

Ok, seriously, this is getting ridiculous. Who the hell goes across the country compiling a list of the top ten nursery schools? I'm not convinced that such ratings are useful for universities, never mind high schools or lower tiers of education. The concept of a top-ten list of preschools just blows my mind.

(I still think it's great that PG is contributing to this in such a unique fashion, though.)
Make your startup happen, continue regardless of the rejection.
I second the opinion. It's like saying that AOL, Compuserve, and the BBS of the past decade had everything the consumer wanted. Why invent a page ranking algorithm then?

Though a typical internet user does spend an insane amount of time each day on Facebook, the experience is mostly related to 3 things (at least in my circle of friends and relatives): uploading photos, sharing videos and playing Zynga games.

The potential to expand from that point onwards is to base on the "profiles" of the users (and their list of friends) and show targeted ads/ services, etc.? But won't that data gathered by Facebooik still be related to shared videos and uploaded pictures as well as how much score you made on Farmville?

I'm pretty sure the pro-base wasn't split. Dealers/growers should account for a very small percentage.

Obviously the monied interests will have a louder message (prison unions, growers).

Also, why did you use "agin'" rather than "against"?

Most of the time, for me, debuggers are only used on assembly code, which it is not as easy to insert a print statement or a hook.
Currently the development builds of chromium also have footprints for Cloud Printing. It would be nice to see more about that working in the web services level.
That's probably a wise decision. I've been using a maxed-out 11" Air as my main development machine for the past week. I haven't had any issues so far. But I bet Apple will eventually release a version with a smaller bezel and a backlit keyboard.

I definitely think Apple is "cheating" somehow, because this thing boots up in 20 seconds, while my 2Ghz MacBook with the same amount of memory and an Intel X25-M takes 45 seconds to boot. I doubt it takes 25 seconds to check the state of the superdrive.
It's a setback. Conservatives weren't favored in CA. True conservatives want more individual liberty and a smaller government; you own your own body as well as the fruit of your own labor and talent.

IMHO, that's exactly the thinking that got us into trouble in the first place: that we have the capability to change nature, however we want, and yet we can't even predict earthquakes or give accurate weather forecasts.

Heck, we even have problems estimating the ecological footprint of anything.

E.g. that proof of concept electrical car that's extra efficient might require some rare metals to produce, and the manufacturing itself could have a bigger impact on nature than its usage. Only in the US there are tens of millions of drivers that will wait in line to buy such a car. And that electricity has to come from somewhere, like a nuclear power plant (which according to many, is less destructive to nature as wind or solar power).

This is a social problem that cannot be solved by technology.

While I don't share your opinions on marijuana, I do have negative feelings about some more harmful drugs. However I still don't want to lock people in a cage for decades should they choose to ingest them. Nor do I think the good done through "sending a message" by doing so would outweigh the injustice and cost of the law itself.

But keep in mind I'm a libertarian, and I generally support locking people in cages in fewer circumstances than the average member of the population.
Well, I bought a 13" MBP a month ago (waited two months in case of an Air update, which came two weeks later) after having a 15" as my primary machine for 3 years.

The screen size is fine and I didn't notice the difference going from 15" -> 13". I used my 15" later on though and it was kind of surprising, but I don't feel like the 13" is lacking.
Acer 1810TZ here. Its 11.6", 5 hours battery life, built-in 3G modem, and I popped in an Intel 80GB SSD. 4GB RAM, and it still cost less in total than the base model Air. It ran Ubuntu perfectly out of the box, including 3G modem, making it better than any other OS in terms of ease of setup..
Assume a simple, powerful solution could be created that would organize your job search, and make it easy to track everything.

This solution costs $35/month. After you sign up, will you be paying by Visa, Paypal, or WePay?

See? I'm willing to bet you would avoid paying for this service even though organizing, executing and tracking your job search is a pain in the ass.

If you are ready to pay, let me know, and the minimum feature set will be ready by the end of the week.

I find this interesting, because is it wise to apply to YC with an idea and face rejection or keep building and working on your product until you meet the common sets of attributes that YC looks for in founders. Thus making a better first impression and progressing the product further.

My opinion is that YC is a catalyst to further your startup and not the end all to make things happen.
I'm in geeklove with the MB(P) 13" line. I recommend it heartily to anyone willing to listen.

I moved away from a (dated) 15" Dell laptop to a 13" MBP for my primary work machine about half a year ago, and these are my experiences:

* I miss my dock and 2 monitors, but not as much as I thought I would.

* The real estate is fine for working with Eclipse/YourFavoriteIDE as long as you're willing to remove panels. (But I prefer hooking up an external 24" for major editing sessions.) The major gain is that MacOSX has way more keybindings for swapping between windows and applications than plain GNOME (or Windows) did, which makes it easier to live with less real estate.

* The A4ish form factor makes it easy to find alternative laptop bags. I've been carrying my MB(P)s around in a freebie a friend of mine got for volunteering at a music festival for the last 3-4 years.

* RAM and SSD are more important to performance than CPU, but I do occasionally max out my both cores and have to wait for some job to complete, but it doesn't really bug me (they were always going to be longrunning jobs). I'm more interested in shortrunning operations being instant than getting longrunning jobs to be faster.

One caveat is that I've never owned or used a 15+" MBP for any significant period of time, so I can't really compare against that, just the 15" Dell running Ubuntu and Windows.
Besides the line regarding Mt. Everest may relate to China, the rest of the post is about India.

What is really the truth is that the wealthy nations are unheard of the situations in poorer countries. What is obvious in our community (banks, credit cards) is not at all in some areas in the world. It's rare to see the problems when the problems are not in front of us.

The good thing about cheaper technologies is that, they are more accessible, could improve the conditions of people faster and have more impact.
