The physics approach seems to be doing something pretty close, through the de-facto combination of traditional journals and arXiv. As the post says, the arXiv isn't itself peer reviewed, but many of the papers there are also published in journals, and the arXiv entry says that if so. The physics community has basically detached the peer-review and the access/archiving phases: the peer-review stays with journals, but the arXiv stores a PDF of the result. Some journals have even automated the pipeline; a number of physics journals will automatically upload an arXiv version of every published paper.
Am I missing something or is this a typo: "Premium electric sedan with seating for up to seven"? I could see seating six, but seven?
fair as long as theother rightsholders involved are informed..... it is their choice whether or not to force the license issue - for all we know they decided to let sony have software X..... if this is done without implicit cooperation with other rightsholders, its sort of stretching......

Ask HN: Anyone using Blekko instead of Google?
With all the anti-Google sentiment welling up, there are usually a post or two about DDG popping up, but I hear almost nothing about blekko (http://blekko.com/) anymore after their launch and subsequent coverage on TC in 2010.

The few times I have tried raw Blekko (basic search no tweaks with slash tags) it seemed like very comprehensive search results, but they werent ordered to my preferences so I found myself digging to page 4 or 5 before finding what I wanted. I dont know if Google's personalization is just that good or their search is that good.

Is anyone using them? Is anyone giving Google search a run for its money?
not exactly.... they are enforcing their own copyright, and by virtue of the license wording, using it as easy leverage to insist the infringing product is cleanly complying with similar licenses before granting a new license.
The upgrades have marginal cost to Tesla and a lot of value to the customer. The Model S Performance adds a bigger battery, better inverter, leather, and active suspension - imagine this costs Tesla about $5k and they can double the price of the car.
The Roadster was based on the Lotus Elise, it looked good. The Model S is an in-house design, and I agree it's nothing really special.
Can you explain a bit more about #2? I'm not sure I understand fully what you mean.
Well it does say that by policy they don't tell you why you're being disabled, so it really is "accounts".
Since they are measuring exits, you would need to add companies that closed into the calculation, as that is a form of 'exit'. Then you can average it, but to get a better idea, dump the numbers into a standard deviation calculator and you will get a range between the 2 standard deviation to get a better idea. This way, it will take into account 'variance'. http://easycalculation.com/statistics/standard-deviation.php

There's mention of rear-facing jump seats as an option, that probably gets you 2 in front and 5 in back but the 5 in back probably only works well if they are children.

MI:1. Physical security hack. It's a stretch, but physical security is the first step to network security. When I worked at a bank, we kept the locations of our data centers pretty hush-hush. The employees badges didn't even have the bank logo.
School's not a bad place to do this sort of fraud since there is a lot of legitimate traffic on the same network. That said it should still be pretty simple to flag accounts that have had a majority of clicks from a very small set of IPs.
Home loan
As 2012 approaches and the housing market still left in limbo, potential home buyers need the best mortgage advice this New Year. Based from previous mistakes of home buyers and the changes in the housing market and the laws that govern it, here are the 3 most important mortgage tips for this year.
Thats how things work..... why would you spend time and money on something that is not likely to cause you damages? It is a calculated risk..... andnthey arent eliminating the risk, just reducing it.
To be fair, 2007 was 5 years ago.
$50K is IMHO an insane amount of money to spend on a car. I haven't spent more than $9,000 on any car I've bought in the last 15 years.

Of course if you have the money and want to spend it that way, I have no objection. I might be there in 5 years to take it off your hands after you've financed the depreciation, depending on how they hold up in real world use.

Basically in the trunk area you can have rear-facing seats which can easily fold flat. 7 is 2 in the front, 3 in the middle, and 2 in the back.
The battery pack and associated circuitry is a array of solid state components.

An internal combustion engine has thousands of different parts - many of them moving, unmonitored and uncontrolled.

The EV is much simpler to manufacture and maintain. The GM EV1 was famously robust and low maintenance.
Personally i believe this is one of the reasons the previous generation of EV's were canceled - it radically changes the profit spread on a vehicle. The old school manufacturers make a lot af profit on vehicle maintenance and parts - this is about to change.

The part count on a typical automobile is 30000 according to toyota - I would love to know what the Model S count is - even with the 6000 battery cells.
The wiki page mentions "review authority over unrelated products". It sounds like someone (the SFC? the busybox people?) will be able to see all their code to ensure that there aren't any more violations. Anyway, it's hard to believe that the person who wrote that page is whining about something or someone being unclear.
IPO shares are already allocated by the opening bell. It's a little bit confusing, but IPO shares are actually sold privately prior to opening day.

Another important thing to remember is that there are two sides to every trade. Presumably, the guy who has shares on opening day has at least as much information about the stock that a retail buyer does, and he's choosing to sell. To be a buyer, you have to have a stronger belief about the future of the company than the market price indicates.
> you would have disclose your bank account and personal information for it to work

You would have to disclose someone's bank account and personal information. If even nigerian-style scammers have no problem finding mules, I'd guess home-grown con artists could do that with ease.

What kind of verification is Square employing?
I agree about some of the options, just not options in general. It's a way for them to get the bottom tier price down though which is important for marketing.

I agree. While other hn readers might rationalize by blaming the government, it is gross negligence to consider working without health insurance. You are exactly one misfortune away from tragedy and this event should have been a warning.
Suffice to say I would never work for anyone so willfully irrational.
Dreamhost handle my photo collection fine.

Also, Dreamhost at least gives you shell access, which is a big plus. And, contrary to a comment above, you can build your own environment. I have an up to date python 2.7 virtualenv from easy_install, and same for ruby.
Dude. I think you need some serious help, because I think you are suicidal. I'm not kidding. Or, the way you think, you might as well be.

You don't believe that life is worth living unless you achieve $STARTUP_RICHES. And you are okay with death as the alternative.

There are lots of ways to achieve wealth and security. In fact, doing an internet-based startup is statistically one of the lower-probability ways of doing that, compared to say, a job in finance.
New Banking Trojan Caught Breaking CAPTCHA
> Fishermen

The fishing industry is in dire straits because too many boats are chasing too few fish. Boats have been getting bigger hauls for decades, partly because the power block allows small crews to shoot more gear, but mainly because of better data.

The bridge of a modern trawler looks like that of the starship enterprise. A captain spends most of his trip looking at computer displays, reading sonar data. A skipper lives or dies on his ability to find fish, by combining his knowledge of fish behaviour, tides and currents with his sonar data.

It's for this reason that the fishing industry is consolidating into fewer, more sophisticated boats. The Annelies Ilena is currently the biggest trawler in the world at 144m LOA and 11500 tons displacement. It is capable of processing 350 tons of fish a day. Boats of this size are only economically viable because better data methods allow them to reliably find fish.

> Maritime pilots

Largely replaced by computers. In most modern ports, pilotage is only necessary for the biggest boats and the most difficult conditions. Higher-resolution charts and differential GPS obviate much of the need for the local knowledge of pilots. Computerisation has hugely reduced the crews of merchant ships. Some of the biggest vessels in the world operate on a crew of less than twenty.

>Airline pilots

The US armed forces now have more drone operators than pilots. Those are being replaced by software as fast as ethics will allow. I'd be astonished if there's a single fixed-wing pilot left in the military in 20 years time.

Civilian aviation should have abandoned human crew years ago. For every Miracle on the Hudson, there are a dozen accidents that no computer would have allowed to happen. Computers are just better at flying than people.

Ultimately, this isn't about "software" as we see it today, it's about artificial intelligence. We need to get our heads around the idea that within a few decades, computers will be more intelligent than us. Unless we understand the implications of that fact, we're doomed.
That would undermine Romney's campaign efforts too.
But Apple tends to show off 1 or two models and let you choose the options yourself. Tesla should just focus on two models and leave the options below the fold.
You should have been split up into smaller teams then. 6-7 people with a max of a couple minutes per will only take 15mins.

I think automatic keyless entry refers to proximity-sensitive door locks that open automatically when you get near the car with the "remote".
They offer rear-facing seats for people under 5' tall (read: children) that you can install in the trunk.
Wait, didn't you say you make 50k-70k monthly?

Offering someone half of that ought to produce a pretty good quality of candidate. Especially if it's actually 'half of what we make' and not just a fixed number - that's a strong incentive to grow the business.

Who knows, you could end up free of it and making more than you would've originally.

Seems foolish just to shut it down.
Yes you should be able to run Vnc from a browser using the java viewer. I have done this in the past - when VNC was free and open source. However, it appears they have now gone to a paid model. You would have to make sure the school allowed remote access via the VNC port 5802 - their firewall might block access to it. I also found VNC to be relatively slow for screen updates. If the school district is using Windows (as many do), you could also use the Windows Remote Desktop client from the Netbook to access a Remote Windows machine set up as the server. You would need to install the Remote Desktop service on the remote machine, and enable it. If you had fixed IP you could access it via the IP, else you can use a dynamic DNS service to map it to a domain name and access it. Remote Desktop is very fast over broadband connections.

I don't think it's any coincidence that I remember 1998-2004 as the era when "Little" Google consistently wowed me, as a user, with every product, every feature, even every verbal statement that you made.

The specific feeling of trust that I had during that time, due to an impeccable track record - trust that they would always do what I intuitively perceived to be the right thing, is long gone. Whether it's the all-holy SERP, or the grand strategy, my highest hope is that further decline will be as slow as possible. I do not believe that it is possible for any company, under any circumstances, to grow that large without losing its way. It's simply the nature of human organizations.
I think the design is a smart move. They're getting parity on design with it while differentiating via the technology. A more distinctive car would be more of a risk that the market doesn't like it or it becomes dated too quickly, especially given that it's aimed more mainstream than the Sportster.

Besides, looking similar to the marques you mentioned is excellent for a first attempt at a design. If you're going to take one shot at it that really has to work first time, that's pretty good company.
How about changing your webmail provider, your mobile OS and the cloud services integrated with it?
This seems in line with YC's expressed desire to 'kill Hollywood'. Keeping peoples' attention off of Hollywood-owned content is the first step.
Well, I haven't noticed that but I'm not out there in CA or an iPhone or a Mac user. The alleged Google/Apple hiring blacklist conspiracy seemed to cast them both in a pretty awful light.

But the plural of "gut feeling" is not "data", it's...hmmm.

Granted an electric motor is simpler and more durable than an internal combustion engine. The rest of the car, though, is still a car. It has a transmission, suspension, brakes, etc. all of which will need maintenance and repair like an ordinary car. And it remains to be seen how the battery packs will hold up over time, warranty notwithstanding.
If w3schools has a use-case it's a quick reference which fairly exclusive from buying and reading new books or trying to parse specs

Sadly w3schools has some serious SEO-mojo enough to win out for a lot of search queries for basic reference in html/css/javascript. At least we can be thankful experts-exchange has seemingly gone away.
I have had s similar experience...

A friend of mine had an Adsense account and would click on his own advertisements while in school. He would do this every day in the same class. He would also ask other students in the class to do the same thing. Each month, he would show me the check he received from Google.

I too had an Adsense account but I ended up losing my account about a month later. Only problem is, I was running a legitimate forum in which there were 300+ people that were active. This forum was created because we all played the same online game and created clans. We used the forum to keep in touch with other clans and to strategize. Never did I click on my own advertisements.

Once I lost my Adsense account, I reported my friends account but nothing ever happened except he kept receiving his check each month.
Intro:

I used to run a profitable Facebook gaming company but got bored of it and let it die slowly.
Today I believe I should have made better use of my company assets (I had 12 millions users) to help me with my current ventures.

Suggestions:

Have you read the E-Myth book? It seems that you are facing a problem the book discusses (technician vs manager vs entrepreneur).

On Mixergy someone (can't remember who) spoke about how turning a service company into a product company with a repeatable sales process helped him scale. In your case it would allow you to step away.

Instead of being the centre of your company, couldn't you create a product (a newsletter, an annual report, training, etc...) that you could sell?

Could you reinvest some of your revenues into training people to replace you?
The link garnered genuine laughter.
I think it's hard to compare to Apple because they don't make cars. People spending > $50,000 on a car will tend to want more choices than people spending $500 on an iPad.
That seems to be an odd 'gut reaction'.

Is it not possible for someone to be an Apple/iOS or $Manufacturer/Android user and have their own opinions about _anything_ without it somehow being either labeled as fanboyism or anti-fanboyism?

I am tired of this false dilemma.
Disclaimer: I don't know enough about the legality/planned dev of CodeAcademy to know if this is actually feasible.

It seems like one of the best ways to compensate creators (and support another young company) would be to integrate the flattr platform. members, would create CodeAcademy lessons and at the end/completion of each lesson, users would be prompted to rate the course, write a few sentences of feedback (e.g. "What was the most interesting part of the lesson? What did you learn? What do you still have difficulty understanding?) and then are asked to click the flattr button and flatter the course author if they feel it benefited them.

Benefits include payment to authors, another metric to evaluate course quality, and a payment scheme that doesn't feel like it is draining your user's wallet.

Though again, I defer to my disclaimer.

Just because a company is for-profit doesn't mean it has to be "money-driven" in the sense that the term is being used here. In fact, for a company like Google for which many of its users have relatively low switching costs it only makes economic sense to do whatever it takes to keep the users happy and enthusiastic, even at the expense of some short-term profit.

The company is partly online service for foreign students helping them to apply to the academic institutions in Germany. Sounds stupid but, Germany is 3rd most applied country in the world for academic studies but also they have one of the most complex and hard bureaucratic application process which foreign students can't figure out and ends with frustration.

For example, if only 0.01% of students from all countries applying to German universities/courses/other academic studies would apply through our service it will give us - 300.000 euros annual profit. For now, I have only offices in Azerbaijan and Russia, hence only russian and azerbaijani students can be admitted by us and we already got 10% of students from these countries. We're going to open our branches in China, South Korea and Kazakstan in the next 5 months.

"all the anti-google sentiment" is nonsense. it's not really anti-google. people get emotional about products and companies they care about. the people who whine about every little change google makes are the same ones who whine about every little change facebook makes: the biggest fans of those products.
They're basically copying a strategy that has worked extremely well for Porsche.

Three base models with varying degrees of performance + a limited edition version. And then you can expect to spend ~10k in options.
Before the paranoia starts - I just deleted a comment that I made about a current YC startup where I know of a founder who's ignoring some health issues.

Lets try again and hopefully be better friends. I'm just trying to give some ideas for improving your conversion rate.

I'm curious why this page exists: http://www.rentul.com/spacebuffer?t=breckenridge
Why doesn't clicking on the image on the front page bring me directly to http://www.rentul.com/spacelisting?t=Breckenridge ?

I would also find more value from the listings if rates are posted with them so I'm looking forward to when you get that (and the rest of the photos) up.

The copy when you click on "Contact Owner" doesn't seem like it will convert well. The line "The only good spam is found in Hawaii." seems superfluous and confusing. The right answer is to run an A/B test with and without that line and compare. I would be interested in the results.

I'm also curious why you have the "Read full description" link to expand the listing? On my monitor the whole description fits on one page but maybe a smaller screen it looks better this way? What is the reasoning for that?

As for the signing in being a problem, I understand that signing in should be necessary to contact a property owner. I was just letting you know that it was my bounce point.

Good luck with your site. I'm sorry someone in the HN community wasn't receptive.
>an attempt to get the issue seen by people at google

Yes, precisely. A lot of other folks have chimed in with similar stories. I think their process is broken and I would like to help them fix it, both for my own monetary enrichment and because I still like Google.

Here is how I read this thread - someone links to a tool that wraps git with a prettier command line UI, you say that you don't need that, here's some magical aliases, others say but those aren't pretty like the tool we were originally discussing, you say "if you want a pretty UI, go use a tool that wraps Git and provides one" ...like the one from the original link? I don't get your argument, is there a reasonable place for prettier UIs wrapping common Git commands, or do we all just need to be more hardcore and learn to write good aliases?

While I agree that e.g. the Xenon headlamps or the two USB ports should be standard instead of options, I know some people who would PAY to have to use the keys to lock/unlock their car. I experienced numerous occasions on which I was not able to lock my car because of interfering radio signals.
