I've been working on my sleep schedule lately as well. I'll list some of the things to try.

1. Determine your "sweet spot" for hours slept. Mine is anywhere between 8.5 and 9.25 hours. Too much more and I'm groggy for the rest of the day, and much less won't allow me to perform at my best for that day.

2. Try to sleep and wake at the same time every day. Sleeping in on the weekends may feel good that day, but then Monday comes and waking up at normal time again feels like hell. If you keep you schedule constant, your body will optimize its different sleep cycles for the time it expects to get.

3. Try becoming an early riser. Humans are diurnal (!nocturnal) animals. This means that if you continue to sleep after sunrise, your body will want to wake up so you won't get as deep of a sleep.

4. If you have a super hectic schedule that doesn't allow a constant sleep schedule, try polyphasic sleep. I haven't tried it myself, but it may be worth a shot: http://www.dustincurtis.com/sleep.html

If you want to help keep your sleep schedule constant, here are some tips I've found helpful:

1. Avoid screens like a computer and TV an hour or less before bed. Try a book instead.

2. Avoid caffeine at least 3 hours before bed (probably obvious, but worth saying anyway)

3. Try chamomile tea to get to sleep quickly.

4. Artificial lighting sucks. Avoid it as much as possible. Open a window in the daytime and get to sleep earlier to avoid several hours of artificial light. You may save some $$$ on energy as a side effect.

5. To wake up quickly, go for a walk outside as soon as you wake up.

I hope some of these help.

"Swearing is absolutely a status strategy"

Not always, but it risks being perceived as such, which is why it's a problem.
How about structuring bonuses more like an earn out. When companies are acquired an earn out is typically included so that the owner of the acquired company has an incentive to run the company in the most profitable way. If bankers bonuses were based on earn outs that are paid over 3-4-5 years then they will reconsider risk since compensation is deferred.
Wow. It's pretty clear that any comment on Hacker News that advocates free markets will get down voted.

Why is this?

Do people assume we are Republicans?

I am not a Republican.

I am not a fan of Fox News.

I am a fan of fairness, and after exhaustive study of economics it seems plain to me that the road to fairness is through free markets.

There is a difference here. Police can follow you monitoring your whereabouts in public.

They don't follow you onto private property, this device can do that.

Also the only reason they put these on cars instead of on a person, say in a briefcase or a watch is b/c miniaturized active tracking tech isn't cheap/available enough--soon enough it will be.
For those following the IPv6 issues - this is one of the real, justifiable, not-fluffy ideas that make sense for IPv6. Even then, this idea is still fluffy. RFID is a cool idea, but too passive for some of the cooler applications.

I think it's neat, but it will be stagnant until we make really tiny wifi chips, extremely flexible mobile broadband plans for multiple devices per person, or create new low-power, low bandwidth, ad-hoc wireless networks for these applications.
I believe this is specific to OSS, which was deprecated after it went closed source for a bit and ALSA replaced it:

I'm fairly happy using the OpenAL API instead to generate audio cross-platform at the moment.
I pretty much hit my sweet spot in my work. I work until I want to sleep. Then I sleep. When I wake up I continue to work. It makes for real weird cycles like 20-24 hours of no sleep, 12 hours of sleep, 20 hours of no sleep, 6 hours, 14 hours of no sleep.. It's awesome.
I wanted something like this a few years back for small scale billing. I decided to partner with a local print shop who was able to get me a good pricing on 2 color prints and envelops. I never was able to find a place with a good API that handled low quantity orders with a reasonable price. ($0.45 a bill)

Sendwrite is too expensive (obviously has a different target audience). I had to sign up to get prices.

RIAA Admits It Wants DMCA Overhaul; Blames Judges For 'Wrong' Interpretation
If there is no compelling suspicion, why then would a search be needed? Are you saying that we should get rid of the second amendment or change it?

IMO, we certainly should draw the line at "a judge has to sign a piece of paper...". Why would you want to give even more power to law enforcement? Do you generally not feel safe enough or do you just not care because it doesn't really affect you in a significant way?

Before you answer that....Are you one of those people who believes that the war on drugs is a good thing? (i.e. It's not basic intellectual fraud...) Or, are you one of those who think that no government would ever attack themselves or their own people; especially not the US Government? Or, that there are terrorists around every corner waiting to get you?

These are clear indicators to me that you've been brainwashed and if you've answered yes to any of those questions, you can feel free to not respond to any of my questions. Also please accept my apology if I've offended you. If not, I'd love to hear your responses.
Why does it bother you that an application is using so much RAM? Do you only have 2 GB or something like that? I'd prefer that applications used my RAM since unused RAM is just wasted electricity.

I find it strange that people still think of RAM as a precious resource that needs to be conserved and under-utilised. I'd rather have it used than have to fetch something from disk or the network.

When we get one those neural interfaces where a computer is implanted entirely in our nervous system, it'd be great if when I "wonder" what that thing taste like, I'd actually get to taste it, through the computer interfacing with my nerves.

Say I want to buy some flower for my spouse, at my the whims of my thoughts, a smattering array of flower images get into my head. I "wander" to the one I think my spouse would like, and when I feel like I want to smell it, I do. I'd then decide "Yes, buy it", and the order gets sent.
I see you fixed it. Cool. By the way, I've been using Redis extensively for a while and your tutorial is quite good. Congrats!

I don't specifically know anything about this implementation, but T-Mobile had the T-Mobile @ Home program, which allowed you to place cellular calls over WiFi without using minutes.

In that scenario, I was able to start a call on my WiFi and leave the house which seamlessly transferred over to cellular. Aside from the obvious, it's not _really_ much different than a cell tower handoff, and most people don't even realize that's happening all the time as you drive around.
Agreed. I've always felt an entrepreneurial spirit in the city. Might just be all of the screenwriters in the local coffee houses though.

Adobe to cut 750 jobs
But they are limited by resources. Say your 2nd cousin is a drug dealer. They probably aren't going to tail you in an unmarked car.

However, if they can slap a GPS tracker on your car they might just do that.

This technology allows them to cast a MUCH wider net allowing more potentially innocent people to be caught up in it.
I didn't mean to imply that for the right sort of person the odds are 100%. But they're pretty good. Probably over 30% and maybe as high as 50%. And since failing is usually pretty quick you could easily try 3 startups in 5 years.

As it turns out there is an easy way to know which group you're in: ask us. Like all venture investors, it's our job to answer that question, and we work very hard to try to do it well.
i see what you mean, i will work on that.. thanks!
Fine, but if we're being pragmatic, then it's better to stay with BoA because they're the biggest and they're too big to be allowed to fail. Your money is safer with them than anywhere else.

I would be interested in knowing who the partners are so that I can assure myself that they are doing business in a way that differentiates them from the megabanks.

On a side note: I was onboard with the BankSimple idea when I thought they were building a bank, now, I'm not so sure. I think it's a good idea, but not a great idea.

How is the money a formality? I don't understand what Dandelion plans to add beyond the money. The pitch suggests that this is for people looking for 2.5-5k for design, marketing, etc. It makes no mention of mentorship or any other benefits.

How long do you expect the process from application->funding to be? If its longer than 8 weeks I would rather raise my 5k elsewhere(like with a credit card). Maybe set a time limit on how long a class can exist before it is considered full(even if its less than 100 companies).

Why 100 companies? Is it just a nice, round number or is there thought behind it?
Lots of good, interesting ideas in that post.

A few comments:
In general, what data you capture, always depends on what you want to do with the data.
Any data model is an abstraction, which discards a lot of information. This simplification is what makes the data model useful.

Of course, storing social relations as an undirected, graph with a single type of edge, as is done in Facebook, is a gross simplification of real social structure. Everyone knows that; Facebook know that; but the fact is that you can build a lot of useful stuff, with even such a simple model. Is it perfect? No - I'm sure we will do better in future - but you've got to admit its amazingly successful, for such a simple representation.

So, we aren't going to be able to define a format for the social graph that is so rich, that it will capture all possible uses with it - but I don't see why we couldn't define a format that captures enough detail to do many a great many of the things we might want to.

Next point: graphs are amazingly flexible data structures; if you have a multigraph or hypergraph representation, or a set of graphs, you can represent an awful lot of rich information. Don't knock graphs too much. You could build an awful lot of cool communication functionality, if you had really any rich social graph representation, not necessarily the 'perfect' one.

The author also writes: "In other domains, a big graph would be good for recommendations, but friendship is not transitive. There's just no way to tell if you'll get along with someone in my social circle, no matter how many friends we have in common." Of course, friendship isn't strictly transitive; otherwise the giant connected component of a social graph, would be one big clique; but friendship is highly transitive. That's why recommendation works so well in Facebook. If A is friends with B, and A is friends with C, then there is a vastly higher chance that B is friends with C, than with some other random person. Sociologists have called this 'triadic closure' and studied it for years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triadic_closure

So, while the recommendations won't be perfect, as things like friendship aren't perfectly transitive, they'll potentially be very good. But what recommendation engine is perfect, anyway?

Finally, the author refers to the problem of finding an adequate model as 'AI-hard' - well, as I've said, any model - even the most perfect one (unless we go and make a copy of the entire state of the world) - is going to sacrifice something. So I see why coming up with a perfect model is impossible. But as to coming up with a model that is adequate for a great many of the possible things we might want to build; well, I'd say 'AI-hard' is an exaggeration.
That is an extremely cool project. Unfortunately, we don't know what format users are uploading, so we have to pass it off to an ffmpeg-powered service.
I think it was Adam Carolla who said that the guys who get laid consistently in high school don't go on to achieve anything. They don't have the drive.
Is it OK for them to open the trunk to place the device? What about a door, a gascap, a tailgate? When do we draw the line?

If it's not tampering with your car to place a tracking device on it. Is it fine for me to go around looking under bumpers for one to take?

I'd love to get my hands on one, I've got enough EE experience to have some fun.
You're not disagreeing with anyone. Taleb, the above commentator, and myself all agree that banks shouldn't get bailouts.

We also agree that murder is bad. But saying "murder is bad" doesn't stop murder.

Likewise, saying "bailouts are bad" won't stop a future bailout.

If you think Taleb's idea to limit bonuses is bad, then say so. But don't attack an argument he didn't make.
1a. If you must use a computer screen before bed, install F.lux (http://stereopsis.com/flux/). As the sun goes down, Flux adjusts the color warmth of your monitor to make it friendly as sunlight diminishes.

It takes a little to get used to, but its completely awesome once you are using it. When you disable it during the night and see your monitor jump to a bright, blinding blue shade you realize how painful it is on your eyes.

The way I smoke.. and I should quit
I appreciate your point and prefer physical controls when driving, but obviously one major advantage of the described approach is that the same space can be used to control different things - e.g., swap out the sat-nav area for air-con controls, put up weather or traffic reports if the music is switched off, etc.
You didn't refute what I wrote. You just quoted me and used it as a jumping off point for a rant of your own.

This is why I ask people who think they disagree with something I've written to find something I actually wrote and refute it. Otherwise more often than not they are (as you are here) arguing against something they mistakenly believe I said rather than something I actually did say.

What I said in the sentence you quote is that a lot of people automatically assume that economic inequality is due to injustice. I never claimed it never is, and in fact it's pretty clear from e.g. this passage I think it often is:

"There are a lot of ways to get rich, and this essay is about only one of them. This essay is about how to make money by creating wealth and getting paid for it. There are plenty of other ways to get money, including chance, speculation, marriage, inheritance, theft, extortion, fraud, monopoly, graft, lobbying, counterfeiting, and prospecting. Most of the greatest fortunes have probably involved several of these."

Well, even if Republic isn't that great the fact that they got overwhelmed on release day is a strong signal to other entrepreneurs, executives, and investors that the public wants this badly.

Let's hope the market responds and competitors are attracted to this niche.

It's probably not legal though for a private citizen to plant tracking devices on people however.

reddit and digg don't really have content suggestions built in. They should be able to compare your interests with other people's interests on the site and actually curate the submissions automatically for ones that you'll most likely like.

Right now everything is determined via actions, such as following subreddits and looking at the what's hot pages. It could be much more personalized with some machine learning.
Bailing them out is the same as adding RAM to a server to fix a memory leak.

Please. For the purposes of this conversation a "nerd" means what the OP wants it to mean, which is at least "someone who knows what a 'graph' is".

Whereas the technical skill required to build a basic electronic social network is "can you dial a phone?" Been that way for sixty years and more. For a dramatic musical rendition of the social networks designed by your parents (oh, wait, I mean your grandparents, maybe even your great-grandparents, how time flies) watch the first ten minutes of Bye Bye Birdie. Ooh, look, a video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKhR8QtQ4do

(I was never a fan of Bye Bye Birdie, by the way, but you can't forget that number once you hear the darn thing.)

Now, these days every eight-year-old has mastered a far greater technical challenge: Mobile text messaging. That's a better social technology because you don't have to talk, or say "hello" or "goodbye", or avoid communicating in seventeen directions at once.

There are things Twitter and Facebook can do that can't be done with chains or trees built on one-to-one texting, but I'm not sure any of them are more social. (Is anything more social than the game of phoning people and asking them to relay messages?) Really, the point of these higher-tech "social networks" is that they fill a gap by letting you be barely social and yet still be present in a bunch of people's lives. I can follow your tweets without you even knowing. I can add Facebook "friends" and then basically ignore them most of the time. I can be "introduced" to a friend-of-a-friend on Facebook without any of the real stress of even talking to them, let alone meeting them in person.
Your comment would be more helpful if you could explain why some of the garbage is based on ideals instead of facts, or provide your own facts. I'm not saying this to support the so-called garbage, but because I am about as unqualified a consumer as anyone of "comments on op-eds that address banking regulation", and maybe you could sift the wheat from the chaff for people like me.
