Of course, that might just be what they WANT us to think.

In music there's also the interesting phenomenon that you and the other musicians are converging on an agreement about when the beat is - but sound travels only a foot per millisecond, so you can't possibly be hearing each other at the same time.
True, a lot of people get wrapped up in the presentation and are sparse on content, as I believe happened here.

However, the goal of these is often not to go in depth but to give your audience main points to remember. So, there is plenty of room to give an entertaining and contentful talk.

I am disappointed when people try to play it safe by avoiding humor or by hiding their personality. Making yourself relatable and engaging is important too!
Websites for applications of computer science
Hackernews seems to focus on the applications of programming to a limited area (mostly start-ups that deal with disrupting social media, sharing, entertainment, etc.)

I haven't seen much discussion of how computer science can be used to disrupt fields like science, energy, medicine, etc..

I'm wondering if you guys have any suggestions for websites that discuss the application of computer science to a broader scope of fields.

Sleep, do you get enough?
I sleep from 3 to 7 hours a day and sometimes I feel badly because of it. But I have so much work to do: job, college etc and it's impossible to do everything in 16 hours a day if I would sleep 8 hours.

Do you get enough sleep? What would you suggest me? If you didn't get enough sleep in past, what was effects on your health?
They are tampering with your car though. Your feelings about the matter don't change that fact.

Where exactly do you draw the line on LEO getting physical with you or your things? Would you mind if they started putting things on the roof of your house? How about in your back yard?

I am guessing that you draw the line wherever it suits you personally, like most people. There are some people who love their cars though. What about them?

Ask HN: text to speech for email
Hi, I've been given the task of coming up with a solution where when someone receives email, my solution will call them and read out (convert the text to speech) the email to them.
So, I'm wondering how should I go about it? I'm familiar with PHP, Mysql, html & javascript. I'm also learning ruby + rails.
Any insight will be welcome, anything.
He didn't say the topic wasn't relevant, he said getting to an insightful comment required wading through a ton of garbage. I tend to agree.

Designing comp packages that work is incredibly complicated. Anyone who proclaims some sort of blanket "solution" to the problem of how to compensate "bankers" probably knows so little that they don't know what they don't know. Normally in situations like that people on hn don't comment at all, but because this issue is so political everyone thinks they have the answer and need to share it with the world.
I find the word 'fuck' plenty interesting. Also I hardly think, in the context of giving presentations/talks at conferences, that it is overused like 'awesome'.

In fact the presentation seemingly in question (the documentation one) only uses the word 'fuck' once (and 'shit' once) that I saw.

Honestly from my perspective the excessive talk of drinking and booze is much more worrying than some perceived overuse of a random English word.

The reason why I personally think Google+ usage is leveling off is because Google has been adding user engagement features like "What's hot on Google+" or the Youtube pop-over search. Why would they clutter the screen with this kind of stuff if they claim they have such a large user-base? Probably because there is a large number of people who don't have anything to do.

For me at least, I can definitely say I feel the same way about Google+ as I did about Buzz and Wave. They were kind of cool to mess around with in the beginning but eventually I forgot about them. The only reason why Google+ seems to be sticking around a bit longer is because of how visible it is on the top navbar as well as how invested Google has been into making it into some sort of central hub for all their products.

But who knows maybe it'll be like their search engine and gain quality over time. Doubtful though..
A lot behind success has to do with luck (quote from pg's "How to make wealth"). Perhaps Jobs was unique in that he was lucky in business twice, not just the once like most who succeed in business (e.g Microsoft Windows & Office), then can't do it again no matter how hard they try, even with a fortune to help.

You're being snarky about Siri for some reason. But what you describe is in fact similar to the Ground Proximity Warning System, a feature of modern aircraft. When the computer announces "pull up! pull up! terrain!" you can be certain the pilot pays heed.

The risk adjusted returns of a venture-capital funded startup for a a founder with assets < 100k and non-entrepreneurial opportunities of > 100k is about negative 100-200k. In other words, you'd pay money to not be a venture-capital funded startup founder in that scenario.

How to Choose the Right Cookware for Your Kitchen
Majority of credit unions outsource their online banking to companies like orcc. My credit union has better online banking than Wells Fargo (not hard to beat).

The ATM access do require small changes in behavior (i.e., don't forget to get cash back in Safeway), but it is quite possible to achieve.
Where did I ever mention any model of my own? Arguing against something does not imply my stance on anything else. You're committing a fallacy here.

Also, there are very few artists which can actually live of their art alone, WITH copyright. That wouldn't change much without it. It's how things always have been, despite what the content industry would like you to believe. Your petty appeal to emotion won't change it, either.

Finally, ignoring the fact that rms is a strawman in this context, if you'd ever read what he writes about selling software, you'd know that it does not really matter to him as long as the essential freedoms are preserved (beer vs freedom).
This fails because it ignores the root cause. All banking crises are informational in nature. Circulating more of the right kind of information is nearly all the regulation you need. What information? Positions, live or daily, in detail. No more too big to fail, and many other problems simply disappear.

In contrast, most regulatory proposals betray a belief in installing a tough cop of some kind to combat 'evildoers'. Guess what, the evildoers are just people doing their jobs. We need to tweak the system to stabilize it, and for a regulated industry like banking the government has all the power it needs to do so.
UberCab becoming Uber is another pretty good example of this name switch to get ahead of regulators from a brand perspective.

You bring up Marxism, and it's interestingly relevant.

Happiness and liberty, for Marx, are about deliberately creating our material world. That is, every man is equally free to shape the conditions in which he lives (so far, presumably, as he is physically able). Capitalism, for Marx, undermines this by alienating the labourer from his product (the product is owned not by him, but by his employer) and through the continual growth of capital. To gloss over some important details to get to the point, this means: labourers are really and truly enslaved to their labour, which precludes the free use of that labour to shape their world, while the capitalists are enslaved to profit and so can only shape the world (or cause it to be shaped by their labourers) in so far as it grows their capital.

As a complementary result, Marx's ideal of communism has this desirable peculiarity about the relationship of labourer and labour: the product of labour becomes the true, free expression of the labourer's self.

I'd say Mr. Bukiewicz is doing his best, under the capitalist mode of production, to make his work an expression of himself: he even calls his knives art.

Read the about section of Made by Hand (http://thisismadebyhand.com/about/) and you'll see that they aim precisely to expose instances of production where the relationship between producer and product, and consumer and product, is personal and social—just like Marx always wanted.

(Attentive readers may note that the existence of purely creative work as a legitimate means of subsistence today, and the fact that Joel is able to make overpriced knives for a living, may seem to obviate this impetus for communism. I've heard it suggested that this change in society may be the very reason worldwide communism hasn't yet developed. Look elsewhere for that commentary, I haven't researched it yet. Interesting though, right?)

As a productive member of society myself (wtf? The implication here is rather insulting is it not?) I also appreciated Fedora's upgrade situation this time around.

1. Run preupgrade.

2. Reboot.

3. Load up Awesome WM (installed from a 3rd party repo months ago) without issue.

4. Load up Opera (which I installed months ago straight from Opera, again with no Fedora involvement) without issue.

5. Go to youtube and start playing some music with Adobe Flash (you get the pattern...) without issue.

6. Continue working.

I too, do not understand the GP's criticism.
I don't know if you've kept up with where things are at with credit unions, but my credit union's online banking is quite nice, and there's a credit union co-op network that means that ATM's which are fee-free and can take deposits are never very far away.

It would be nice to have more physical branches (maybe that's another thing a co-op network of credit unions could handle), but really, switching to a credit union was way easier than I had ever imagined.
Two thoughts:

"Fuck" seems like an excellent filter. It lets people who are more concerned with appearances and rules rather than content know that what I'm saying isn't something for them. That's ok, not everyone has to like what I say; the quicker they come to know that probably the better for both parties. The kind of person who could become offended by a simple word choice is just so different from me that I doubt we'd ever get along.

My second thought is that it also just seems like a more powerful form of the word "very" or "really" to me; only more fun. Like those words, if you overuse them it will get annoying, but otherwise I just don't fucking care.

About Hypnosis facts
Hypnosis is recognized and used as a therapy in many parts of the world to cure a host of diseases. Hypnosis is being used in the treatment of neurological disorders like phobias, depression, and habit disorders. It has found a place in medicine and surgery. People have found ways to use hypnosis even in the field of sports and entertainment.

You mentioned how bankers you worked with gamed the system in your other post. If gaming the system is so easy as a banker, please tell us how much money you gamed?

If you were there for 18 years as you said you were then you should have gamed a ridiculous amount of money out of the system and you would have been through at least 1 if not 2 recessions, 1 of which as a fairly senior banker.

My view: scale/size of market

A small business is going to be mainly local/regional.
A car dealership is a small business - might make the owner(s) millions, but still a "small" business.

Car manufacturers like the new Tesla Motors are start ups.

There's plenty of start-ups that aren't tech based, but tech firms probably lend themselves to scaling thus the majority of them being start-ups.

Non tech example:
Stonyfield Farm = start-up
Farms an hour from me = small/medium businesses

There really is a wide gulf between the best series of Wusthof, and a handmade Murray Carter (or I presume Cut Brooklyn) kitchen knife. But the latter are not for everyone... like, stop paying attention for a moment and goodbye fingertips. The best knives are so thin and sharp, that you can dice an onion without tears because you've not mushed the thing up.

I have a set of good German knives too, and I reach for them when a softer, less brittle edge is needed, such as when dealing with bones or partially frozen stuff. They're still very, very good, but it would be easy to tell blindfolded which is which.

Disliking another's way of speaking, regardless of profanity, is generally considered a high horse. Someone who doesn't like the way slumdwellers speak for example. Or someone who doesn't like the way folks trained with clear diction speak.

If you dislike the way a person communicates - not the content, but the method - then you're of the opinion there's a better way they should be talking. Hence: high horse.

I think they're on a high horse because it's a word that hurts literally no one. I think it's fine to dislike it, be my guest. There's certainly words I don't use just because I'm not fond of them; but once you start telling OTHER people they can't use a harmless word that hurts absolutely no one because of some sort of "standard", well, that strikes me as quite a high horse indeed.

That's an awfully subjective position to take. I don't have a problem with rapid release, but I have a problem with passing off minor revisions and bugfixes as major releases.

I don't know where this recent trend of "version numbers are evil" came from, but it's entirely silly.

I'm denying the premise.

The most popular person in high school was almost certainly not a nerd. Nerds take a while to maxing out their social skills, but once they do I find they are almost as good at it as sales guys or MBA gals.

From my experience the most popular kid almost never had the time to dedicate to crafting the technical skills necessary to build a mega-successful online business, Social or otherwise. Nerds think about things far more than the typical prep or jock.
I'm assuming you mean this in a "move your money" kind of way right?

- what is in the world is it doing on the delicious clone I signed up for?

This is the same guy that writes about scaling hardware, no? Keep it coming.
One input method that a colleague discussed with me recently was in using a webcam to determine where keyboard input should go. The computer would track your eyes and where your focus went, and then make the application you're looking at have focus. So that it wouldn't matter where your mouse was, but when you typed the application you're looking at would get the input.
Agreed. This is something I was actually surprised at when I first got the HD, being a diehard physical button fanatic (had an iRiver H320, and fat Zune previously) I couldn't stand the idea of switching over to a touch interface, but I had to when my fat Zune died.

Fast forward a week or two after getting the HD, I was able to control the device almost as fast as the origin Zune in my car (without looking at it). It just felt somewhat natural, the way the placed the buttons. Didn't put too much thought on whether or not the positioning was partially intended for quick use.
If the author wanted to look, the Via header is actually not a great place to look. It's not the most accurate header in terms of telling you where the call is being handled.

If you look inside the SDP's (usually in the INVITE and 200 OK, potentially 183/180 or ACK) it will tell you where the actual RTP traffic is going. If those RTP ports and addresses are changed something is certainly foul. My guess is they are not.

If you see a Record Route header it means some proxy has inserted itself into the signaling traffic. Or again, if the SDP inside SIP header is changed.

For reference, an SDP looks like this:

v=0
o=- 1996782469 1996782469 IN IP4 203.43.12.32
s=-
c=IN IP4 203.43.12.32
t=0 0
m=audio 57076 RTP/AVP 0 101
a=rtpmap:0 pcmu/8000
a=rtpmap:101 telephone-event/8000
a=fmtp:101 0-16
a=ptime:20
a=sendrecv
That's true, but "infinite" and "unbounded" often also mean "there's no exact or precise solution, but at least for certain circumstances there's a useful approximation that works".

I can calculate pi to "enough" precision, whether I'm making a hula hoop, or a piston ring, or sending a probe to Saturn - I suspect a lot of what I'd like out of a functional "social graph" probably doesn't need much more precision than "three and a bit", 3.1416+-0.0004, or 3.14159265+-0.000000005.
The thing is, sometimes, instead of impressing people with their wit, some people just want to get to the point quickly. SAT words are great to know, and they have their place, but to use them in all contexts isn't always appropriate and is occasionally pretentious.

There's a brief description. What I've always wondered about this technology (without looking too much into it) is can I start a phone call on my home Wifi, unplug the router, and have the phone atomagically switch over to the Cellular network without losing the call? Because that seem like it would be difficult. And I don't really know if I want a service where I can't move around freely while on a call.
