Yes, you might be perfectly right and she should know the legal outcome in her country, but reading this here I somehow have to assume that Proposition 19 was accepted and the jury was stoned.

Unfortunately, these twins can't answer the question of neural data incompatibility, because, again, they grew up together.

My guess is that when we start inserting info directly into the brain, the most immediately successful way will be to hijack existing inputs directly (vision, audio, etc), and the most successful long-term approach will simply be to just lob the data in in some suitable encoding with some suitable high-quality feedback and let the neurons do the hard work.

I for one would be delighted if someone were to start a business making the razors-and-razorblades business model untenable.

It's anticompetitive, distortionary, harms interoperability, and tempts businesses into spending endless amounts of money in an arms race that could better be spent making their products better.
Ask HN: Flexible meal subscriptions coming to Bay Area soon
Dear HN,

I and a few friends are going to launch a Flexible meal subscription service to help busy individuals and families save time and money from cooking or eating out.

We're working on getting quality chefs / restaurants on board. If you're in SF Bay Area and wants to be in for the beta, let me know.

Some upfront info: A few reasons why you might want this service
- If you can't cook or too busy to cook, we aim to be much more affordable than eating out
- No more stressing out over what to get for dinner.
- Stop eating the same thing all the time. We want people to experience different kind of food.
- Stay flexible. As long as the meals aren't already made, you can hold them for another day, in case you want to eat out whenever.

I owe you if you can give your thoughts. I'll buy you a drink if you're in SF ;)
1. Do you have any feedback (positive or negative) on the business concept?
2. Would you pay to subscribe to this service? How much per meal typically?
I believe you have your terminology mixed up.

AGW stands for 'Anthropogenic Global Warming' and 'AGW proponents' are those people who actually support the thesis that industrial CO2 emissions are causing catastrophic warming. It looks like you would have a very confused bot on your case if you went on twitter with comments like the above.

If you had shown the same humility and caution before calling him names AND posting inflammatory posts on HN, nobody would have known about this.

If you notice, he chose not to publicize this on twitter & HN unlike you.
It's really so you can say "just go to this site" when you have lots of relatives asking you which electronic gadget is best in its class. After all, they really mean "which one should I buy?" Hence the name of the site.

There's now a "Mac Pro Server" option available, which includes OS X Server, but is priced a bit lower than if you take the base Mac Pro and configure it with the same hardware but without OS X Server.

(Take the base Mac Pro, raise the RAM from 3GB to 8, add a second 1TB hard drive, and you've got the same hardware config as the Mac Pro Server, for about $30 more, and without OS X Server, which would add another $499 to the price.)
Zed's complaint about the Ruby fork: http://github.com/martinemde/learn-ruby-the-hard-way/issues/...
On the other hand, how cool would it be to wave your hand in front of your computer to mute it, or to flip through slides by moving your hands back and forth? Think less full-body motions and more simply tracking the position of hands, allowing for touch-screen like interactions without actually needing to touch the screen. There are lots of things I can see this being really useful for (especially 3d modeling; I recently saw an article about an iPad program which lets you model as if you were working with clay, and I would love to have something like that for my PC).

Taken in isolation, that might appear over the top, but as you can see from subsequent comments by martin on that thread and his attempts to elicit symapthy on HN by posting an inflammatory post [1] and tweeting about it [2], martin has clearly shown who has less class here.

On the contrary, Zed has chosen not broadcast this to the wide world though he is clearly the "injured" party here.

For 1) I don't have any further new arguments.

For 2) - To summarize, your objection is that only the elites would only care vote, thus the elites would oppress the masses? But if the masses noticed they were getting oppressed, wouldn't they take the time to vote? The case in which they don't care to vote is when the government is being well run, which by definition, is a good outcome. The failure case is actually that the people who have the most time to vote would end up being the lazy/idle who aren't busy working or raising a family.

For 3) filtering based on net wealth is a crude measure for sure, but the goal is results in the aggregate. In general, people with a net worth above the median income are more capable, responsible, experienced and longer term thinking. Yet the wealth requirement is not so high you're filtering out all but the wealthy. The bulk of the voters will be the responsible middle class. Will it filter out some responsible people and allow in some irresponsible people? Sure - but its only a first pass filter. As for teachers, I actually wouldn't allow any government employee to vote. Its a complete conflict of interest. But if teachers were allowed to vote, they wouldn't be prevented by income alone. Sure starting teachers often make about 75% of median income. But they do move up in pay in a few years, plus they have income during the summer. A teacher who saved 10-15% a year (which is low when you include paying down a mortgage as saving) would be able to hold office when they are around 35, which is fine with me. (I also disagree that teachers are working for the betterment of society more so than anyone else. A teacher chooses the job because it provides a secure, ample paycheck and because they enjoy the pleasure of influencing other people (or to put it more crassly, the pleasures of power))
I mean, what's the interface on the iPad going to be? A bunch of sliders.

Sure, sliders are convenient. But there are accelerometers, image processors, DSP on the microphone input...and multitouch lets you do some thing that don't make sense with a mouse, like pinching to alter the ratio of two two-dimensional values at once (or more). The CPU in the phone or pad is fast enough to do some fun things with complex numbers or whatever and spit out the results via MIDI to a heavy duty DSP. That would be quite useful for simulating vocal tracts or physical modeling things like woodwind reeds or brass tonguing (the different sounds a trumpet player can make by how they put their lips/tongue to the trumpet mouthpiece). There is gear to do this sort of thing already, but most hardware has only multiple 1-dimensional controllers or a joystick, effectively requiring a whole new set of playing techniques. Smartphones make it easier to adapt the input device to the specifications of the player rather than the other way around.
Their documentation is inconsistent, but it one place it also says Chrome on XP causes the warnings. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and upgrade to their Custom SSL.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you mean by 20%. If you get an employee for a year, do you get 20% of the yearly salary? So you have to find 5 people per year to get paid as much as the people you find? (on average)

If so, does that truly not sound ridiculous to you? If all people got employed through recruiters then the recruitment business would make up about one fifth of the total economy!
Well, it doesn't happen on other drivers, so the fact that NVidia is replacing a lot of the X11 arcitecture makes sense that they would be the only ones to have this problem.
I would pay $10 to $15 a meal.
The feature has been in the dev channel for weeks. I am glad they decided to implement pdf support in the browser, and I love the speed at which it works. I also love the lack of chrome and the ability to right click on the pdf and save it.
However, the Foxit software they are using is not very good IMO. I had it installed previously on my machine, and it crashed a lot with files over 20 pages. Now Chrome crashes almost every time I open a large PDF file.
So, I uninstalled Foxit Reader and reverted to Acrobat. It is slower to open, but doesn't crash nearly as much as Foxit.

Why didn't the Chrome team incorporate the original Adobe Reader instead of Foxit?
Put differently, a 30mpg, 4500lb car gets 713e6 feet-pounds/gallon (30m/g * 5280f/m * 4500lb). A loaded crawler gets 756e6 feet-pounds/gallon (42fpg * 18e6 lb). Not so different after all! And the car looks much less attractive if you look at just the payload.
there are no Wayland-only applications as yet, and Wayland can run X11 applications transparently. The plan is to essentially host the X server on Wayland, which can interact with the GPU in a slightly more sane way.

My condolences for the Intel card. Intel had good support for many years, until... last year or so... when the Intel developers totally lost the plot and decided to break everything for everyone. And they are refusing to fix it for older cards :(.

The nice thing about hobbyist developers is that they tend to be more responsible to their users.
I'm not sure if this helps in your situation, but when I'm running VMware I don't share any local directories. I use rsync to manage the virtual server directories since it's similar to how I deploy to my remote servers.

Having to manually "deploy" code to a local virtual server can be tedious, so running a background process that watches your local directories for changes helps a lot.

I've calmed a bit since the original postings. I can see why he was upset and I know that the right thing to do was to remove the book. I had good intentions and I did this out of homage, not to steal or claim any credit.

I've always been a fan of Zed's work. I will continue to be despite getting defensive about this.
I understand what you're saying - but I doubt including a README with the contents "you agree to not distribute this file and delete it when done listening" would do little in minimizing any potential fines.
This is a silly argument, though - she was not distributing in perpetuity, and the result is way out of proportion with actual damages. If a total of 100 song copies were downloaded off of her computer, and market price of the songs are $1.30 on iTunes, the damages were no more than $130. In that case, it is as if she deprived them of a maximum of $130, and it should be treated as theft of that amount, at worst. Thieves don't pay back 10000x what they stole, they go to prison.

If she's very unlucky and it was downloaded 1.5 million times off of her computer (doubtful - Comcast would have shut down her computer for going way over her bandwidth quota, and the ratio of sharers to downloaders is quite a bit higher than 1:1000-1:1000000), then maybe it's justified.

This is even without factoring in the likelihood that those people would have bought that music otherwise, rather than downloading in bulk and listening to a small percentage, as is common.

I personally know a dozen people who could have written the Linux kernel, at around the time Linus wrote it. What none of them could have done, through, is manage the project when it took off the way Linus did.

I suspect 100 years from now, the place you will hear the name "Linus Torvalds" the most will be in management classes in business and engineering school. His actual software will be a footnote, merely the platform upon which he demonstrated how to manage a large open source project. Kind of like Henry Ford and the automobile--Ford made important contributions to the development of the automobile itself, but it is his figuring out how to make the automobile factory that is the main thing we remember him for.

You're asking a really good question, but if you'll may I think you're asking the wrong one.

To answer your question, why shouldn't your browser support quick and easy viewing of PDF files, I think the answer is that my browser's job is to render HTML downloaded over a given protocol (such as HTTP or HTTPS) and appropriately supported non-plugin extras as best as possible.

For example, I have a virtual world. This virtual world is designed for a niche, lets say vehicle mechanics. You can look at any vehicle and strip it down or away to see each layer like an onion skin in my world. Why should your browser do that instead of giving it over to a plugin by the format company's author?

If your browser does that the people that write the browser have to support it to a certain extent - if they implement the popen() function in the spec, well they're importing the standard into the browser but if popen("/bin/ls") works then so should popen("/bin/ls;cat%20/etc/passwd").

My point is that the people that make browsers make really great browsers, the people that make PDF readers make great PDF readers. To pull the browser guys off to make a PDF reader is the same as pulling a PDF reader guy to make a browser, it's not their core business.

I'd rather trust a company for whom PDF reading is core business (like sumatra) than those that feel PDF reading is only part of their revenue stream (like adobe).
Yep! That's why I went there the first time. It was amazing, so I went back again on my next trip to Atlanta. Interestingly, he was in the "kitchen" (at the woodfire grill, actually) cooking both times -- most well-known chefs are more restaurateurs than chefs.
Where can I pledge money for the cause? I'd up the bounty myself if I could.
I don't know Zed in person, but the harshness presented online is excessive. While I agree Linus can drive many programmers to tears I can't remember him calling anyone a hippie or saying someone lacks class.
Wow, that's quite expensive. As another poster mentioned, looking into a currency exchange service such as xe.com would be a good idea. Essentially you do an ACH transfer to them and then they do a transfer to the recipients bank account. Not only is the transfer cheaper than a wire, but you should get a better exchange rate.
