Doesn't have to be "brainwaves". The brain has a few outputs that can be highjacked (e.g. a computer with a neural interface that appears to be another muscle in the body). I don't know whether the bandwidth of these outputs is sufficient for interesting communication; we've evolved to take in far more data than we produce.

Edit It seems that more direct methods of neural interface are already plausible: http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/37873/
It makes his point irrelevant; those workers' interests pale in comparison to that of the owning interests of those corporations. He presents unions as the sole cause of the problem, which is not only intellectually deceitful, but quite incorrect. More importantly, it reveals an underlying agenda that needs to be challenged as strongly as possible in civic discourse.

In fact, private prisons and unionized guards aren't even on the same side, due to the former hiring largely non-union labor. And the private prison industry has been growing and lobbying faster than ever:

Back in the days I used blogging software called Greymatter. It was bunch of Perl scripts which generated HTML file for each post and month. Serving flat files is of course fast and easy for web servers. Since Greymatter did not use database at all, search and comments were a huge pain. I don't blog anymore, but I was wondering if there is any blogging apps that creates flat files for all posts and front page, serves comments from DB via AJAX and also stores all posts in DB for better search?

The truly minimum rate is really low, though, at least for some societies. For example, if the U.S. imprisoned at the same rates as Norway (0.07%), it would have around 250,000 total prisoners. And even there the number is arguably higher than the absolutely necessary minimum. If you dig into who's imprisoned in Norway and why: 1) a full 20% of the prison population are there for administrative offenses like nonpayment of fines; and 2) most of the rest are there for nonviolent drug offenses.

What I have started to do is to write a short to-do list at the start of each day. If I don't finish it that is fine but it helps me at least set up some tasks I need to do and get to them as quickly as I can.

However, one thing. Hard problems are FUN. Double for hard problems that have some bearing on current work, even if it isn't critically important to the immediate moment. So I think it is important to allow for a certain amount of productive distractions.

I would also add one more thing. These rabbit holes can be good for another reason when running a business: they keep you on your toes regarding to what you need to do to succeed and sometimes the solutions are important ones to pursue as a business strategy.

Show HN: We all need a boost of positive energy!
Startups are hard. They are also lonely (even with cofounders) especially when you go through the lows that all startups experience.

Family and friends might support us but it is not the same. I remember having a real bad day; I was in line at the bank to withdraw the last $500 in my account to pay rent when an old lady in front of me asked why I was so gloomy. I told her because of work troubles and she basically smiled and said you will figure it out. That really stuck with me! She had no idea who I was or what I was going through but that random boost of positive energy was just what I needed.

That's what we hope to capture with Positive Cheer. We send simple, brief, personally written emails at random (a little surprise in your inbox!) just to send some positive energy your way. You can even submit and share your own messages with our users.

www.positivecheer.com

We would love any and all feedback, do you like our concept? design? font? We wanted to project something more reflective then cheesy. You can also email us at positivecheer@gmail.com or twitter @positive_cheer.

Good luck to all you YC applicants!

Best wishes always,

a better point is the preface to the guava project docs:

"The Guava project contains several of Google's core libraries that we rely on in our Java-based projects"

given that, it is fair to say "this is essentially an internal codebase, and we would prefer to develop it ourselves so that it fits our internal practices and standards; however, it is an extremely useful set of libraries, and we are happy to share it with the open source community so that you can use it too, if you like"
I'm a fellow Sodexho hater, but sorry, your argument isn't compelling. While you might not like their food, you clearly find its "value" (taste, convenience, etc) superior to the alternatives (bringing lunch, taking a longer lunch, hanging jobs, etc). You don't have the right to open a competing restaurant inside a McDonalds either; that doesn't make them the Men With Guns.

That's the usual case, but I've found myself a few times sitting in a university library reading books in a Wikipedia-esque way. Read a few chapters of one, find an interesting footnote, grab the book it references off the shelf and follow up on that, and soon there's a pile of 15 books on my desk...

That's a good point, but opening a single store (as in the article) is nothing to hang your hat on - pretty much every country has a social elite who could support a few stores.

In the heart of Hanoi there's a KFC (there's a few throughout VN, at least in the tourist areas) and the Vietnamese economy is booming... in Vietnamese terms. They're still incredibly poor with a 30% inflation rate, and the KFC is charging Vietnamese prices, not western prices. KFC may have plonked some stores down and localised them a bit, but that doesn't mean that the locals have anything like a western quality of life.

I found it interesting that although the food in the KFC was different (though still fowl), it was the same experience in terms of disinterested teenage staff, overloud music, and grimy plastic seating...
As one great example of productive rabbit-holing, Knuth was frustrated by the computer-typesetting tools available to write a computer science book, so he wrote TeX; and then there weren't good fonts for it so he started designing one; but he needed a font-designing tool so he wrote METAFONT; etc. Eventually he got back to his book.

But he was: 1) already a tenured professor at the time; and 2) had a sabbatical year in the middle as well. So he was able to choose to delay one kind of productivity to follow this other rabbit hole instead, and ultimately probably end up more productive as a result. The normal productive solution, of course, would've been to just muddle through with whatever typesetting system his publisher was using, and stay focused on the book.

One of the few occasions that I wish I had a mac.

Few questions: Aren't you entering a field which has patents covering gesture controls on media exactly like this?

A comparative advantage of mice and keyboards is that a minor amount of energy, (but large amounts of co-ordination) are leveraged into larger changes.
Wont this limit the number of the gesture controls you can incorporate?

(OTOH - if you had enough fidelity, you would just need a dummy keyboard. You would just have to map finger movements with key presses. you could just create a webcam of your own as well.)

Which community would that be? 4chan? Reddit? The rest of the internet that also regurgitates memes?

You cannot 'engage with' the internet as a whole. No community owns a meme: it's the fact that so many people reproduce them that makes it a meme. The problem here is that some folks do feel they, or their community, own a meme. These people are the problem, not this guy with a place for a game. Or at least, he's another kind of problem.

Ask HN: Product launch ideas. 
Our product is genuinely affordable due to lower cost structure and we know we have a better & polished product in the making. Lot of thought based on our experience & study has gone into building it.

How do I position myself & convey that it is a "cheaper & better" version without sounding off as a "cheap" product, where I am passing on the benefit of cost to customer.

We are market followers & not leaders, though we have implemented everything ground up after studying market players & our experience (40+ yrs of building products collectively). But we have some really good ideas in roadmap that we intend to implement. Yet, I don't want to come across as just cheap alternative.

Need inputs to position ourselves as a brand that is passing on the benefit of cost to customers with a great product offering. Thanks!

>Also, note that many drug offenders have a violent history, but the police were only able to make the drug charges stick. Also note that in many cases the drug offenders were selling on street corners, playgrounds, and such, and residents were begging the police to move in and arrest the gang members.

"In many cases" is disingenuously broad. That's not the case at all. Here is a great primer on the topic - http://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/143/s...

When we talk about the War on Drugs driving incarceration rates, we do not speak solely of drug possession. It's economics.

There is immense demand for narcotics because people love to get high. Since narcotics are illegal, engaging in their trade becomes a risky proposition, which in turn drives up prices. Since narcotics are such a lucrative endeavour, there is a lot of competition. Since competing groups lack the capacity to settle their differences through the judicial system, violence is often the answer they resort to.

By making the trade legal you will remove all of these problems overnight.

>America first and foremost has a crime problem. And it has a crime problem due to terrible law enforcement.

Convicting and incarcerating people has little to do with law enforcement and more to do with the laws they were accused of breaking and the judicial system at large. Police officers round people up; they have no responsibility in determining whether they get locked up.

> But if law enforcement is mostly lax, but is inconsistently and randomly harsh, then you get high crime and a very high total incarcerated population.

So, you agree with me then: large amounts of people who are correctly locked up shouldn't be locked up.
Can you point out specific examples of this 'art done by anonymous street artists' that he is 'selling'? I don't think you can. Neither the "Le" meme, the concept of "rage comics" nor the texts that have made "Good Guy Greg" into a 'good guy' have been made by a particular person in any of these communities.

You don't actually know what his towers were going to defend and it seems he was hiring artists to render instances of these memes to be defended. That there are individuals who are offended has nothing to do with 'their' content being ripped off. In fact, I doubt any of these people that send 'hatemail' ever were part of the initial creation of a meme. I doubt they ever put any effort into creating a reproduction of a meme, more than surfing to a website and entering a text that was automatically placed over an image. These people are just assholes and you shouldn't defend them.

The funny thing about the iPad's image as "just a toy" is that it has always been an incredibly powerful and capable computer, for a pretty reasonable price all things considered.

Many hospitals have been using tablet based computers for years. And think of all the touchscreen based systems out there. Kiosks. Some ATMs. Etc. I'm honestly somewhat curious about why so many people would think that removing a physical keyboard, changing the form factor, and making software easier to use would translate into a device becoming trivial in purpose. The only thing I can come up with is the concept of difficulty being inextricably linked with capability. The "REAL programmers debug memory dumps LIVE!" sort of machismo. If a jumbojet were so easy to pilot that a 4 year old could safely fly one I imagine people wouldn't take it very seriously for a while either.

What amuses me most about this is that we already went down this exact same road with the PC long ago. The PC was a toy, and not acceptable for use in serious business, until IBM started legitimizing the idea (after which Apple II sales shot up, ironically). And yet from day 1 the iPad has always been more capable than, say, the Apple II.
