Really unbelievably cool. And that last example has me thinking that it's practical enough for real-world applications—the diagram is just so much more self-documenting than CSS or a series of jQuery calls could ever be.
Without seeing your installation one can only guess at a possible explanation, but it may be conceivable that a ground loop in the system was causing interference with all devices at a level higher than the common-mode rejection capability of the HDMI receivers. This might explain why your other devices would stop working when you plugged in the cable box. Maybe the GE cable was lacking a ground connection that was present in the other cables?

You seem intent on believing the worst about my experience and efforts, and that's okay, as I said before, "take it for what it's worth." :)

But you did nail item #1 - I was primarily interested in learning/experiencing, and secondarily interested in adding value. That's one of the reasons I lost motivation and shut down the site, it is extraordinarily difficult for coupons/discounts to add value to businesses across the spectrum of business. Some businesses it works great for, many it doesn't. It was when I had that realization that I decided to end it.

I did spend time (sorry, probably not "much time") brainstorming business ideas that actually would add value to the businesses I knew, and I think some of those ideas are good, but just not feasible for me to do alone, so I'm not even pursuing them either.

I have a friend that has spent _years_ and tons of his own money working on his startup, and it's still struggling to succeed. I learned a lot from him as he was my mentor through this process. I hope his endeavor takes off, but it's a long road, and he has worked incredibly hard. I can connect the two of you if you actually want to talk to someone like that.

Back to School: Free Resources for Lifelong Learners Everywhere
We are exploring an alternate mode of vacation (one might say, the French model, although not because it is not national) -- in which the company essentially shuts down august till labor day, on top of a couple weeks of ordinary flexible paid time off. We hope that this will enable people to take real vacations (without worries that something really important is happening around the lab), and the lab isn't hamstrung when missing someone important. Plus, a month of free time allows people to take a serious sabbatical and do something really substantial outside of work.

Those we around a month of productivity, we think that people will end up being more than 10% more productive/happy/creativity, and the people we can attract may be 10% better suited to our work. We think it's a perk hardly any other american company can match; great hackers value their time.

More than any of these, philosophically, we want to allow our colleagues to experience the world. We want them to experience freedom.

Don't know if it's really conquering, but here's a trend that I've seen:

In the past, American products were regarded as the best and Made in USA meant quality. Next were Japanese products and consumer electronics. Starting 5-10 years ago, I began to see the well-regarded brands like Sony and Toshiba become more of a boutique brand (overpriced compared to what it offered) as they focused more on style than functionality. Most recently, products from China and Korea-based companies (Haier, Samsung, LG, Hyundai) have started to become more mainstream.

This just shows that there will always be up-and-coming competitors who will out-hustle, out-engineer, and out-build the previous market dominators if they don't keep innovating and staying fresh. The smaller competitors, given enough time, will catch up.
Does that require the obnoxious 100000000000, or could that be left blank?

Proscribed fun is hard. I can think of about 20 great engineers who would be turned off by a scotch library and free trips to the driving range (is it software for country clubs?) Substitute any of foosball, ping-pong, beer kegs, red-bull, razor scooters and whatnot. You're only going to please half the people, half the time, and probably the wrong people, because who really ever liked razor scooters and nerf guns, anyway?

Career and skill development is a perk that is really overlooked. It's a start to offer unlimited Amazon books. However, companies could go much further and offer seminars and full blown courses. It doesn't even have to be expensive corporate training. You could pay a grad student to teach a full blown machine learning course for less than half the cost of a weekend long training seminar.

I'm sorry, but I don't think you can say that "startup failed" if you haven't even quit your day job and focus 100% on your startup.
Maybe you can say that investigation/discovery phase didn't yield desirable results.
Please tell me you read that article and didn't find it odd how extremely one-sided and positive it was.

Also, it happens all the time. And with a publishing machine as big as the NYT, it's bound to happen there as well. Remember Jayson Blair? Different symptom, same cause.
Well, isn't power always corrupting? Consider the sex that would occur in a marriage where the wife has no skills or earning potential (so she must submit to the husband's will or become effectively homeless if he divorces her).

Entrenched power in a group of >2 people works the same way. In the case of the US Government, most Americans don't seriously consider any other country of residence, so our leaders get away with all sorts of disgraceful acts.

Without competition there will always be corruption.

Due to a fluke of the geography and history of the US, it has been difficult for the central government to get all that strong. In the past it had to do things like build out cities over marsh land (New Orleans) or provide useful services (like the post office, railways). But now that it has a hold on power, our entitlement system is broken and most of the tax dollars flow to special interests (the military, oil industry, healthcare, finance).

So I think your observation is true, but due to a more general principle... which is the innate brutality of all humans when granted power over others.
That solar netbook is $USD372.94 (Sh35,000). 14 hour battery (1 hour noon sun gives 0.5 hour worth of battery life), 1.3kg, 1GB RAM, 250GB HDD, 1.3 GHz atom (single or dual), 10' screen. http://global.samsungtomorrow.com/?p=4768

Presumably, an ARM-based solar netbook would have even longer battery life. But the (netbook) apps aren't there yet, and aren't coming, so they stay with x86 and Windows.

btw: the kindle, with passive E-ink, has 2 months battery (i.e. over x100 longer)

1) Sit down in front of your work

2) When you feel like stepping away from your work (which may be immediately), attend to the thoughts, emotions and physical sensations you are experiencing at that moment.

3) Report your findings here.
Hm, well thanks for the clarification. I just reread it several times and it's not clear. I'll agree that it's ambiguous. It would be interesting to know more. Is this a fixed 25 day cut off then, or is it prorated? Kind of alarming is the part where the monthly salary as an example is £100, surely he meant to type £3000?

It sounds like you might work there? If so I have a couple questions for clarification, in addition to (1) clearing up that the £100 thing was just a random number and not representative (since some Chinese developers do make in that range, so it's not an impossible salary to claim). (2) Did "What’s normal for time off varies from country to country" mean that US employees of the company (for example) are expected to use less days than european ones? That the cut off for what is considered "unreasonable use" differs depending on company. (3) If the answer to that is yes, then are salaries matched to standard market rate in the economy each employee lives in? Are SF based employees paid 20 times as much as the guy in Bangladesh for the same work? (4) With a worldwide workforce, how does the company handle paying social insurance tax and providing for benefits in each country? Are competitive insurance plans offered, a different one for each employee? Or is there some insurance company that is able to provide insurance for all employees regardless of what country they are citizens of and resident in? Thanks for any clarification you can provide, these are all interesting subjects.
BoJ Still Only Talking.
possibly. but until then, it's a smart way to demonstrate how the extension works.
The advantage of "streams" is that it can be used to elegantly define infinite sequences recursively.

For example, you can define powers of two as:

var powersOf2 = new Stream(1, function() {
return powersOf2.scale(2);
});

(untested) which means that the sequence of powers of 2 begins with 1 follows with the the same sequence scaled by 2!

The implementation in the linked article however seems to be flawed, since it doesn't store the node's tail after computing it. This means that to get each element of the sequence you have to compute all the elements before it (even though you already did in order to get to that element).

This works not only for numbers but for other infinite sequences such as expressions in a language. I recommend the book Higher Order Perl if you're interested in this.
In 10k years, in the year 12011. the human race is going to be extinct one way or the other, either we all kill each other over resources or we advance way beyond biological and physical barriers, I hope someone finds this clock and thinks, how quaint.

How will a double-dip recession really affect tech IPOs?
Here's the thing.

Let's suppose you write down all the syntactically valid 1 byte programs (in some language, say, Python). there aren't many of them, and you can certainly write them all down.

Now write down all the syntactically valid 2 byte programs, then 3, then 4, and so on. Now you have a list of all valid programs.

Some won't terminate, and some won't print anything, but any number that can ever be computed by any program will be printed by (at least) one of these.

But there are only countably many of them. That means that most of the numbers between 0 and 1 will not be printed by any program. Ever.

Are you now still happy talking about the collection of all the reals? Most of them (by which I mean uncountably many compared with countably many) can never be printed or calculated.

Great little story, if I wasn't supposed to be working right now I'd check out the game more. (Maybe it'll hit the Humble Bundle next time around.) They seem to understand that the greatest threat to any creator trying to monetize a product is obscurity, not piracy. Also, when you release something, some amount of Value is created and you're not going to be able to capture all of that Value no matter how hard you try. But things like this that actively play the torrenters can let you capture more of it than you otherwise wouldn't have.

Same here. I've been seeing the redesign for at least a week already. I wonder how I keep getting in test groups. It seems like every time a major site like Google or Amazon does a redesign I end up seeing the it way before everyone else. I wonder how these sites chose who to show the redesign to first as test cases?
Really nice idea. Sounds like an easy interaction to enable the buttons as well when you actually want them. Although FB is by far the most prevalent and dangerous in my opinion, it would be nice to have G+, and Twitter controls as well.
Have you ever heard of a computer algebra system (CAS)? It's the generic name for software that performs symbolic mathematics, anything from the algebra that 8th graders are taught to differential equation solvers used in modern physics research. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_Algebra_System

The specifics don't matter, the bottom line is, anything that Mathematica can solve, this can be useful for, simply by solving the equation for the chosen dependent variable (the red number) every time you adjust the value of an independent variable (any of the black numbers).
Well, good riddance.

> Don't worry, you could keep the futon, VCR player and Charoodles--but our 100+ employees and the state income taxes they pay each year would be coming along with us.

Laughable. Sure, move the company out of state. And maybe 10 of your employees will move with you, if that many. And then the second time I ever hear of savings.com - this being the first - will be when they go out of business.

Taxes are the cost of civilization. Anyone who takes advantage of the things that taxes buy, but whines about paying for them deserves ridicule and derision.
> TFVC is a centralized-server model that requires constant and active communication between a client (read: developer) machine and the server. If, for example, the network goes down for 1 hour, development grinds to a halt. The reason here is that TFS will mark all files as read-only on the filesystem until you have asked the server to check them out for you.

Perforce works the same way, causing much frustration for me whenever I have to work with a slow and unreliable p4 server (and, despite Perforce marketing, those exist). You can override p4 and make writable the files you want to edit without telling the server. But when you want to check in a changeset, you have to tell the server you edited the files, otherwise they will get left out of the changeset. Worse yet, if you try to get too clever with your local copy's settings, the p4 utility might overwrite your changes with a newly checked-in version the next time you update your local copy.

When I worked at Microsoft in the early part of the last decade, we used a Perforce fork called Source Depot. (Internet mentions of sd are rare, but here is one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/491295). I have no experience with TFS version control, but it looks to have taken a lot of inspiration from sd, which was a fresh breath after the previous revision control tool which didn't even support branches.

Ask HN: How to rip videos from sites like CNN.com?
So, my brother is a film maker and I am a computer scientist and we had an idea the other day to make a documentary film about the 2012 US Presidential Election and the role that big business plays in it. Who knows if we will actually complete this. Right now it is just an idea.

What is the best way to rip videos from "streaming only" sites like CNN.com? An example of some footage I'd like to get is:

http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/09/07/republican.debate/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

I examined the page with a HTTP Debugger and also viewed source code but could not seem to find the original source URL of the video. I was wondering if it is possible to find the URL of the video somehow and if it is, how?

Thank in advance for any insight you may provide! :-)

Also, it has just crossed my mind that this type of question might not be acceptable here, since you're not really "supposed" to download videos from streaming only sites. If this type of question is not acceptable please politely let me know.

Sorry, but this doesn't actually do anything. Using beforeRequest there is no guarantee that your script will be loaded in time to block the request, so in practice you only end up blocking facebook trackers about 50% of the time.

The webRequest API will fix this when it is released, but for now this extension does not do anything.

If you are using Firefox, Opera, or Safari you can use the Ghostery extension which does this and blocks a few hundred other trackers.
