Caveat: a lot of people think if nootropics and stimulants like modafinil when they hear 'performance-enhancing drugs'.

This talk does not appear to be about those at all, but pretty much solely about steroids and certain sports (specifically, just baseball's batting; comments criticize talker for any generalization beyond that).

Some interesting points I hadn't heard before:

> A little calf has a lot of growing to do. Milk has a lot of insulin-like growth factor in it, which causes insulin resistance. Insulin resistance in a human being is somewhat troubling to our metabolism, not to mention the foreign proteins in milk.

> The Paleolithic was a very cold period; humans were forced to the shoreline about 50,000 years ago, at the height of the last glaciation, actually got worse about 17,000 years ago. Rapid expansion of human brain that took place during that period was, one, probably engendered or assisted by need to survive that brutal ice age; and two, by the seashore-based foods that occurred because we were forced to the shorelines for protection to the cold.

> The Paleolithic was a very cold period; humans were forced to the shoreline about 50,000 years ago, at the height of the last glaciation, actually got worse about 17,000 years ago. Rapid expansion of human brain that took place during that period was, one, probably engendered or assisted by need to survive that brutal ice age; and two, by the seashore-based foods that occurred because we were forced to the shorelines for protection to the cold.

> The people who try to do caloric restriction are trying to turn down the insulin IGF pathway--growth and reproduction. Claim: If I eat very little I will live long. What do you think of that? Think it's bogus. Cause a miserable life. Spoke to their society; some admit to being cancer-? [sp.?] or to cheat.

> Distance runner versus versus sprinter. But for sprinter--10 seconds, of course they are happy. The other guy labored for 2 hours. But the sprinter is burning energy for 4-5 hours after the sprint--at a prodigious rate. You don't have to be doing something to benefit. The post-exercise period from a high-intensity session lasts for many hours, during which your body consumes huge amounts of fatty acids.

Can happen in German. But I find written English actually worse, because it is often so ambiguous to parse---so you have to keep the words in mind and not just the partial abstract syntax tree (or whatever it is that my brains stores for complete sentences).

Good answer. Is there no cost whatsoever to having many buffers open? I like the simplicity of just cycling through rather than searching for whats-its-name-again - seems to be easier to remember for my fingers as well.

A couple of years ago I used to keep 100s of tabs open in FF. Then I went mobile and started caring about watts. Not the same situation, but I think it influenced my few-files-open habits.

Given what China will demand and the likelihood that Facebook will give in to 'gain market' there better be some way to distinguish between Chinese customers of Facebook and everyone else. Having anyone in the Chinese government even being able to see what passes for my small page or two would be enough for me to close up shop and di di mau as we used to say in Sunny Southeast (Vietnam). I can barely tolerate what they (the Chinese government) have done to their own people but if the idiots in charge (at Facebook) extend this access to their other customers it will make their recent screw-ups look like quality work...

Ask HN: What will be the impact of the emerging USA wireless duopoly?
The proposed merger of ATT and T-mobile would give them about 39% of the market, with Verizon at 31% .

( See http://www.latimes.com/business/atmergerchart.eps-20110321,0,3614806.graphic )

Not sure how we feel about this merger, but it will potentially impact anyone working on mobile apps.

The FCC has opened up comments here -

http://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/ecfs/upload/display?z=kdhv1

The docket is 11-65 .

Now is the time to tell them if we think it's a good or bad idea, or what conditions should be imposed.

This seems like the right time and place to discuss what conditions would improve the market, or if an effective duopoly is a good idea at all.

(Some issues that come to mind are locked handsets, contract terms that make it harder to switch phones and carriers.)

San Francisco, CA

Affine Systems generates data about online video using computer vision (face recognition, product recognition, scene classification, etc.) for advertisers to use in targeting and filtering their online video campaigns.

We did over a million dollars in revenue last year working on campaigns for major brands. We recently raised our B round, led by Crosslink Capital, the investors behind Pandora.

We are looking for test-driven engineers (and sysadmins) to work on an internet-scale video processing pipeline using Python, MySQL, Selenium, ffmpeg and other open source tools. Its goal is to find and ingest videos from web pages and to generate and store metadata about those videos using our vision algorithms written in C++.

You aren't expected to have a background in computer vision, but it would be great if you are interested in learning more about it. We are building a cross-functional team, so you will work closely with our computer vision experts to plan new capabilities and bring them into production.

We are also looking for computer vision experts who feel the need as we do to build an engine that can watch and understand all of the world's video. This is truly the greatest AI problem as there is no more quintessentially human activity than watching TV.

No remote hires, please. You must be willing to work at our office five days a week in a pair programming environment. Interns welcome.

If interested, please contact me (founder/ CTO) at bobby@affinesystems.com

Thanks.

Right. The general idea is: the bigger the font size, the more people will notice it, so make the irrelevant stuff small and the attention-grabbing stuff big. As to colors, I just saw something someone else posted that can help you develop a coherent color scheme:

http://www.techiemania.com/5-awesome-free-tools-to-help-you-...

And another article with good design pointers submitted to HN:

As to the logo, the same ideas apply: more whitespace between the title, tagline and "beta", vary the font faces to provide contrast, and try using contrasting primary colors to make it a bit more dynamic.

Are you sure about this? I'm not an expert by any means but when I participated in the Netflix Prize a few years, there seemed to be lots of investigation about different variations of neural networks.

For example, the Restricted Boltzmann Machine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boltzmann_machine#Restricted_Bo...), as far as I understand it, seems to be a variation of neural networks.

If you can post a link to an article that covers recent work in the area and explains why they none of them are breakthroughs, I'd love to read it.
(a) The empty list is treated as nil. (b) The scoping is in fact strange; what you saw, however, was a bug. (c) cons expects a list as its second argument.

This certainly isn't useable for anything, but I think it comes somewhat close to being lisp.

That's a really great point about organizing questions. So at what point would unanswered questions get moved to another page? Since for a new blog post, we wanted to have the least friction in getting started answering a question, and if you have to flip to another tab, that might be a barrier.

The High Cost of Low Teacher Salaries

Why should I pay $25 to spend 2 hours with a random person who may or may not be a competent teacher? You trash college a lot, but you don't do anything to inspire confidence in the Skillshare teachers or 'curriculum' (if there is any).

I'm curious to know your thoughts on what your feelings are on your own children's educations. Will you advise them to drop out of highschool and start working? Are you expecting them to go to university?
I agree that it's not the same for people as it is for companies. And it's ironic that the rash decisions (read high risk) taken by companies often affects individuals.

Being debt-free is a good financially and mentally, as you say. It's interesting that I am also in a similar situation as you -- I paid off all loans and then could afford to quit my job to bootstrap my company. We're in the same boat, and I'm enjoying every bit of it.
Right. Fair enough. But, even then, the requests come from the client browser, rather than our server, which is much less likely to be a problem to CL.
The power of aphrodisiacs?
I see time as a piece of string. Exactly how it appears depends on context.

Usually it is coiled up. The smallest coils might be days, the larger coils they form are then weeks or months, then years, perhaps decades or centuries if I'm considering historical events.

On a lower level, sometimes there are coils on the level of minutes and hours, or perhaps of ten minute appointment slots if I am waiting to be seen by a doctor.

Sometimes a piece of string is just a flat, boring piece of string, with the past on the left and the future on the right.

Sometimes the string gets tangled with itself --- the points that touch represent dates when related events occured.

Black Box from Air France Crash Found
To be honest, without explanation, I would have no idea what that image is trying to depict.
The eval throwing away context does not make any sense in retrospect. I think I made it that way because of some ghetto-scoping ideas.

You broke car and cdr somehow (these don't evaluate their arguments anymore), but I have no idea how you did this.

This was mostly a training exercise, this is why there is no significant use of monads in there: I simply haven't learned enough about them to feel comfortable using them.

> * it's not officially supported by Apple

MacRuby is an Apple project.

PyObjC isn't, but ships in Mac OS X. That's rather officially supported.

> * it binds to Cocoa (and if you're lucky it's even up to date and doesn't have that many bugs)

Not true. MacRuby is a prime example of a language that taps directly into the Objective-C runtime, eliminating the need for a bridge. And PyObjC is a great example of a mature bridge – it's been around and robust since the NeXT era.

That looks cool.

Where did you get the pricing from, to generate your cost estimates (ie. the 10/30c/gig)?
Ctrl-D and Ctrl-U are probably one of the most used commands I use as well. This is a must.
The problem with Crowdflow is the way they get the data. Instead of collecting their own data using GPS, WiFi SSIDs and Cell Tower IDs they ask users to submit their iPhone location data cache. This cache is filled from Apple's own location database and from the Skyhook database. So they are, in a way, scraping data from those two databases, which will probably lead to licensing issues.

Now, if there were an open database (open as in I can download it for my own use, not just query it via an API) for WiFi network <-> GPS coordinates and Cell Tower ID <-> GPS coordinates that would collect its data by letting contributors run a simple iPhone or Android app, that would be awesome.
