Does anyone else find that SO is great cor answering beginner level questions, but completely inaccurate beyond that?
Depends on the bird and mode of flight. Large birds like condors basically glide like fixed-wing aircraft, flapping every few minutes; hummingbirds flap at 200 Hz and use various aerodynamic tricks to stay aloft. The flight in the video looks similar to the that of those toy flapping birds powered by a rubber band. It's possible to flap & fly without fully articulated twisting wings, just not as efficient.
For me, the biggest red flag was "done in 8 months time".
Nice CG though, and additional points for flying a RC plane with a camera on it on the path of the bird.
You're able to control very little about the world and the way things turn out. Many people win the lottery. Heck, what's the point of doing a startup if you were just born into tons of money if money's the final goal?

Richest guy in the graveyard or "remembered" guy in the graveyard, YOU'RE STILL IN THE GRAVEYARD. You can either be miserable your whole life and then some, by always thinking about how you're perceived, or you can easily be content and even be OK with dying knowing you did your best at every step and not "regretting" decisions.

The outward "success" doesn't really mean crap (IMHO). Sure, million bucks is nice, sure recognition is nice, but being true to your passions and being the best you... now that to me is success. It really is in the journey, not the destination, and is hardly something people who aren't extremely close to you would know about.

(To those of you who've already guessed, Viktor Frankl's heavily influenced my views here, so props to him!)

"Steve Jobs dated stars..." part was total crap. The only thing I've ever found in that kind of "success" is emptiness. Give me a hard problem, and let me have a crack at it... I only fail, if I give up out of fear of what I perceive as "ultimate failure" of not being able to solve the problem.

The biggest fail in this article to me was how he's supposedly a dad of three and that part barely gets a mention beyond his license plate. I'm a dad of 3, and it's hard as hell trying to keep up with everything & I love it! I was looking forward to see how Linus does it, and apparently it's by having an interesting license plate... (link bait)
That's the most annoying inconsistency for me. I think that could be a patch to the wing applied after they managed to pull out the cloth from the spar (if you look at the blog a bit, there are some posts showing that issue). I think the shitty cut around 1:20ish could be them looking down during a screwed launch attempt, and splicing back in after adding the patch. You'll notice in the following video the patch is there from the start.

There is a Dutch news clipping from about a week after video 13 that shows the dude without the patch, which is puzzling. Again, easily explained as using an old photo from before 13, but still.
It was the shrinkage of the chamber that I was thinking of, but I didn't really know how much it would be. Thank you for the information.

I'd imagine domain squatters have snapped up all the common misspellings of popular mail providers, so a DNS lookup probably isn't as beneficial as you might imagine.

You Want My Facebook Password?
That doesn't look off to me. There is a dark spot in the first frame -- it's just masked by the much larger shadow going across the whole wing.

It seems fake to me, but I have yet to be convinced there's CGI. If it were CGI, within 2-3 hours someone will post a statistical analysis of the images. That would be extremely obvious, whereas most people in this thread are pointing out things that are ambiguous.

I mean they if they got the trees, the shadows, and the grass right, then I have a hard time believing they forgot to remove a dot somewhere on the wing. Those aren't the kinds of mistakes you would expect if someone was trying to match CGI to real footage.
Ask HN: Someone please make this app - Universal dashboard
Everyday on my iPhone and/or laptop, I check:

* Email, Stocks, Weather, Google Analytics, News, Facebook, Twitter, etc

I wish there was an app for the iPhone or a program for the laptop that I just open, it automatically logs in to all the services, and then shows the latest updates from each service in a separate page, which I swipe (on the iPhone) or click (on the laptop) to get to the next page.

Having to open one app, see the updates, close/minimize it, open the next app, see the updates, close/minimize it, etc, is annoying.

Are there any apps/programs out there that do this?

How do you guys handle this problem?

That's exactly right. We think most people will love the free tool for their personal use, and that many businesses will be willing to pay for End-to-End Encryption and CloudCache.
No - but pointing out that something happens in nature, and _for_that_reason_ shouldn't be bothering people. Nature being full of violent deaths does not have anything to do with whether fictional deaths on TV are good or bad, yet this was (IMHO) implied.

Domain names are very illiquid and there are lots of different ways to define worth. On the low end, there is this price: how much could I sell it for tomorrow in a no-reserve auction? On the high end, there is this price: how much could I sell it for if I spend a year cold calling and negotiating with potential end users?

Almost any domainer will tell you to completely ignore automated appraisal services like Estibot. Most will also tell you to ignore professional appraisals; they are better at estimating auctions prices than anything else.
This is of course not as sophisticated as exiting PaaS solutions but together with SWF, Cloud Formation, etc. Amazon keeps delivering all the pieces necessary to build one. This greatly benefits customers (and further ties them to the platform) but it should make uneasy any PaaS vendor building on top of it. The claim from Vogels that they have no desire to go in the PaaS business rings more hollow now :

> And this is wrong answer as well.

There isn't a wrong answer to this question unless you are asking an engineer about a specific manhole cover they have data about.

> Manhole covers are round because manholes are round.

That's clearly not the whole story. There is no reason why a shaft has to be covered by the same shape as the shaft. If there were significant drawbacks to having round manhole covers, we'd just have another shape with dimensions large enough to not fall down. There aren't, in fact round covers are fairly easy to manufacture as long as high precision isn't required, as simcop2387 noted.
This makes a lot of bold claims.

Need to see some credibility or explanations for these claims before I trust it.

Agreed with others that it's probably fake, but there I disagree that it's impossible. One of the slightly counter-intuitive things you learn when becoming a pilot is that you take off into the wind rather than with a tailwind. The wings don't care what your ground speed is when creating lift, they care about your airspeed. Given a big enough "kite" and a nice headwind and of course you can do this. Kitesurfers, kiteboarders, and hangliders do this all the time. The flapping may or may not assist, but it's certainly not doing the brunt of the work.

First of all, I can certainly empathize with you, and very I'm sorry to hear you're going through this difficult time. Most of the advice offered in this thread is quite practical, and it's great to see such a close-knit support group here at Hacker News.

My advice is simple; as cliche as it may seem, take the time to read The 4-Hour Workweek by Tim Ferriss. This book addresses most of the psychology behind your discontent and offers a slew of energizing solutions that should help get you out of the proverbial rut.

If I may, here's a great poem a wise man once shared with me:

Take time to think...It is the source of all power
Take time to read...It is the foundation of all wisdom
Take time to play...It is the source of perpetual youth
Take time to be aware...It is the opportunity to help others
Take time to love and be loved...It is life's greatest gift
Take time to laugh...It is the music of the soul
Take time to be friendly...It is the road to happiness
Take time to dream...It is what the future is made of
Take time to give...It is too short a day to be selfish
Take time to work...It is the price of success*

I believe it was Eric Ries who once said; "Entrepreneurship is synonymous with failure." Try to learn as much as you can from this experience. Stay hungry, entrepreneurship is in your blood. If need be, take a step back and re-focus. No one ever said it was going to be easy.

Good luck bud!

Ok, I am going to share my story here regarding the comment below that got downvoted.

FWIW, I still feel constrained by the hetero-normal taboos of our society, and the fact is that this happened after I was already married and was reading while caring for my second child. However..... I was spending two hours a day reading while taking care of my second child (feeding him, holding him while he was asleep, etc. Wonderful times.

Anyway, I was reading Plutarch's "Life of Lycurgas" where he talks at length about sexuality in ancient Sparta. Plutarch is a witty and very interesting ancient author. I have enjoyed reading most of the works I have read by him. Anyway, he talks at length about the social functions of pederasty (from other sources, presumably non-penetrative) and wife-swapping in ancient Sparta, and the upshot is that both of these have to be seen, if we take him seriously, as back-bone institutions on which Sparta's political structure was built (reading van Gennep's "The Rites of Passage" has only further solidified this view in my head btw).

Anyway, this brought up an interesting question for me. In our culture we say that sexual orientation is something people are born with but is that really true? How fluid is this really? Logically, the only answer I could provide given the material I had read was that it had to be fairly fluid, and that if I was born in such a society, I would probably be happy living out these norms. That puzzled me for a bit.

But then the realization hit, and that was that these things are deeply fluid. You can't cure someone from being "gay" and make them "straight" because these are both artificial restraints. And all the sudden, the male body became erotic for me. The female body never lost the eroticism attached, but I began to see how sexualized the male body could be also.

So I don't know what these categories even mean anymore.

Does this only work for browsers? How about the iMac itself, or Windows? If that works I can throw my keyboard and mouse away.

Also I have a question - how does the iPhone communicate with the browser? Is it through 3G/4G network to a web server which in turn talks to the client - being your browser? If so, this delay is a significant problem. If there's a way to communicate directly between the browser and iPhone thru wifi this would make you millions and millions of $$$$$

Looking at the go version[1] I am not sure if will work as expected. Maps in go are not thread safe.[2] So it could be the go version is out performing the others do to the lack of synchronisation. There are several ways to fix this in go, the easiest might just be to use a mutex around the accesses to the cache. But it would probably be better to use a readers writers lock.

edit: (that said I am not sure if the C version is thread safe either I haven't read the docs for the hash table he is using.)

edit 2: (looks like the C version is not thread safe either).

You're correct that updating a map from multiple goroutines without synchronizing is unsafe. But the overhead of using a RWMutex (http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/sync/#RWMutex) in this case should be negligible compared to the I/O code.
