They update themselves in real time, if you have several you would have them on different pages of the home screen and would need to swipe accross them to see them all. (not sure if that's the right terminology, I mostly use an iPhone too)

No, that 12,345 meters for Sakhalin-I is not depth. It is the total length of the well, and 80%+ of that is horizontal deviation.

The deepest oil well that I know of is BP's Tiber well: http://www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=2012968&c..., 10685 m but probably measured from the rig floor, so about 9400 m actual drilled depth, starting 1259 m subsea.

By the way, the extra amazing thing about the Kola well is that core was collected over the entire well depth. This means that the drill string had to be pulled out hundreds of times during drilling to recover the core, and explains why the project took 20-odd years to complete.
I wouldn't say they _created_ any money. Took investor's money? Yes
The starting elevation of the Kola Superdeep Borehole is reported as 350 m asl, though on the map in one of the papers I have it looks closer to 320 m.

Birds don't fly by flapping up and down - they flap down and back, then fold the wing and pull it forward and up.

If you just flap and up and down you move up and down, but you don't fly. You need motion to cause forward acceleration, not just up and down bobbing.

Fake, it's simply impossible for the shown flapping method to cause him to fly.

See here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSikfcJezy4#t=180s and notice how the bird folds the wings as it pulls them up, then spreads them as it pushes down. The folded wings give less resistance to the air than the spread ones, and that difference lets it fly. Without that you can't fly by flapping. To move forward it also has a front back motion that is harder to see in the video, but is still visible.
This is a simple problem and its kinda amazing that no one else has solved it yet. Good Luck!

Others have said this too - We needs a Linux version, hopefully usable on the command line too.

I added an implementation [1] in diesel [2][3], which uses select.epoll (or libev, on non-Linux systems) and got a around 150x speedup [4]. I only repeated the tests a few times (but they were all close) and didn't install the Go compiler so I could test against Go (I'd be interested to see how this stacks up on your machine). Like you say in your post, it's nice to have something wrap up the bother of epoll for you.

My impression from this thread was that he's (allegedly) done this a few times already, so some of the adrenalin has probably worn off.
I just see a Hollywood that ran out of ideas a long time ago and is desperate for a fresh story. The big movie pushes I've seen this year are John Carter, based on a character that first appeared a hundred years ago, and the Hunger Games, based on a book series that first appeared less than four years ago. Then I see a new Three Stooges film coming out that, among other crazy things, features an appearance of several Jersey Shore cast members. Many other big budget films this year are sequels: Wrath of the Titans, The Avengers, Men In Black 3, etc.

And here, Prufrock451 is a lucky one. Hollywood is starving for ideas, but even when innovative writers come up with a good idea, Hollywood prefers to go with established money-makers and often red-lights obscure ideas. I think they're so willing to go with Prufrock451's story because it got so popular on reddit. There's lower risk. They see that this story can attract a lot of eyeballs, and are hoping that those eyeballs will translate to box office success.

Hollywood likes to blame its decline on pirating, but in reality there are very few new ideas coming out of Hollywood anymore, and they expect to make money repackaging old ideas, putting them in 3D and charging a premium. Hopefully stories like Prufrock451's become more common and we get to see more original ideas make it to the big screen. I certainly don't want to see more movies with the old stooges and the new Jersey stooges.

Scala is actually less complex than Java by far.

I'm sorry, but I can't let this one go by. I can accept the argument that FP may be less complex once you get used to it (not sure I agree but let's go with it) and immutability by default is great but just because Scala and/or it's surrounding community allow or encourage this style doesn't mean that Scala-the-language is less complex than Java-the-language. That's a statement bordering on the absurd - I would say that Scala is demonstrably massively more complex than Java. Many of the things that make Scala great are extremely complicated, both theoretically and practically. That doesn't stop it being great but it does make it complex.
It is minimalistic and that's great! You say it is P2P, so would I end up paying for someone else's traffic like torrents ? I didn't see anything in the settings though.
> Imagine trying to find a blog post explaining why your 4 year old version of an image upload gem doesn't work on JRuby. It's no fun :)

This really depends if you are running a hobby on a server, or running a business. I update client side apps cause it is exciting and it doesn't matter to me if it breaks. If it does, we cry foul and the developer updates a patch hopefully within a few days or weeks.

On a production environment, this is much different. There's a reason why people say "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it." A down time of 5 minutes could cost one company thousands while another company millions. If the cash printing machine is down, having a broken image uploader would be the least of their concerns.
I've worked in the visual effects industry and I don't think this is CGI, at least not in the sense that most commenters mean, a digital rendering of the dude and the wings. If it is, there's a lot of small details that they got right. It could be, and the poor quality of the video makes it hard to tell for sure, but I think that's misdirection.

My guess is that the wings are not mechanical at all beyond being flexible, and he's just pulling on them to flap, and they pulled the guy from an ATV or something. His motion looks like a kite, when he's flapping wildly the front of his chest stays pretty stable and looks like it's anchored. The wings look like they could be modified versions of those kite-surfing things people use.

It's a hell of a lot easier to paint out a wire and a vehicle than it is to put in a synthetic flying dude. and that would get you the helmet-cam footage without having to do extra work.

Also there's tire tracks on the ground from previous takes.

edit: for example:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvD_0qZzhdo

It might not even be the wings providing the lift, he could have a whole chute behind it like in these videos.
Obviously it's a conspiracy to destroy HN by flooding it with inanity. There are so many red flags in this discussion.

(for the record, on my machine the go comparison was 97ms vs. 173ms, so pure python + diesel was 1.78x slower)
Franky My Dear, I don't care how the video was shot or how the wings were designed. I just know now, that it is Efiing Possible!!!!
> people whose job is to sling HTML or javascript

What was that? Coding HTML or programming in javascript might not be as mentally hard (most of the time), but is just as much work as anything else.
I am sorry if someone already pointed that out but i just realized how fake this is. Watch that video. http://youtube.com/watch?v=Q0tKFOcHyrI while guy is about to take off(1:49), everyone including cameraman runs for some reason and we can not see the guy with the wings for a second. Then when we see the guy again and there is a black squaure box next to big s logo this time. You can see that video is edited at 1:52
Project managers don't typically make such decisions. They ask how X is coming along, and how long Y will take.
Now there are lots of pretty damn good sites that YC alumni are making from launch day; but the fact that a good number isn't, suggests that PG might want to improve his filter process a bit.

Do beautiful sites at launch day correlate well with IPOs? I'll supply the answer: no. Many beautiful sites will not IPO. Many tech companies which IPOed had abominable sites at launch day. The long-term salience of this is an amusing historical footnote and nothing more.
well - the problem with doing this through WiFi would be that the setup would be so much harder because of all the various wireless router settings, firewalls etc.

What you're describing is CPS, but that's not how continuations would typically be used in a webapp, it's actually a compiler technique (I've always thought it was crazy that node.js forces you to do by hand something that should be done by the compiler). A language that supports full continuations as first class objects, for example some Scheme implementations, allow you to actually suspend the current execution (including the entire call stack) and store it somewhere, and then start executing it again at a later point in time. So your web container can start running a thread of execution for a particular request, suspend it after it writes its response then resume it again when it receives the next request corresponding to this web session. It allows you to write code like:

function handleSession() {
renderFormPage() // writes response with HTML for form
suspend() // wait for next request in the session
processForm() // process the form data - notice this is the same function
}

It's a very powerful technique and can make web programming very intuitive since you can have a single linear flow for a complex web interaction.

Why won't you drink it? Just because it's used for shielding doesn't make it radioactive.

Also water basically can't become radioactive. The isotope of oxygen with the longest half life, and more neutrons than the stable ones, has a half life of 26 seconds, so it doesn't stay radioactive.

If you manage to bind a proton (it's virtually impossible for oxygen, but lets say) and make fluorine, the result has a half life of less than an attosecond.

Deuterium is not radioactive, and tritium is hard to make (you need deuterium first, and there barely is any in your water).

The radiation could theoretically fission oxygen into other elements, but that's very unlikely, and the results have extremely short half lives.

In short: Water can't become radioactive, which is why it's so good as shielding. (However water can obviously be contaminated by something else that is radioactive - so don't go drinking the water in a nuclear reactor :)

I get what you're trying to say, and in addition to the CEO's you have mentioned, there are actually numerous other examples. (e.g. Jerry Yang, Michael Dell, Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield of Ben and Jerry's)

However, there is a huge "BUT" in the statement of suggesting entrepreneurs shouldn't go to college - and that is entrepreneurs SHOULD go to college. Let me explain:

While I wholeheartedly believe ambitious, talented, and opportunistic entrepreneurs don't necessarily need to finish college and get a degree to be successful, I do believe they need to be smart enough to get into a good university to begin with so they can meet the right people and find co-founders.

Even though I grew up in a pretty affluent suburb, almost none of my high school classmates ended up being entrepreneurs or tech entrepreneurs. Had I ventured out on my own without the college experience, I would most likely still be trying to create my first successful venture at the age of 40.

For many of the entrepreneurs you listed, they found their opportunity and market while in college. If the schools had not asked the right questions or if they had not had the opportunity to be in an environment where they observed a need, many would have never founded their dorm room start ups.

tl;dr: get into a great college, even if you don't plan on graduating.
Killing Industry: The Supreme Court Blows Mayo v. Prometheus
This is hilarious. He is being downvoted for pointing out one of the biggest serious issues with digital content licensing: The problem isn't just the DRM, but also that the licensing agreements usually (always?) destroy the traditional right to resell your book/movie/album when you are sick of it, or just when you would rather that a friend have it (say, when you finish reading a book).

Paying say $15 for an ebook that is nontransferrable, when the physical book is ALSO $15, is an absurdity that I can't imagine will stand the test of time. Our entire human history is on the side of the feeling that when you buy something, you can then give that particular thing away to someone else.

Current legal and market norms don't serve this basic human instinct yet, and it remains to be seen which shifts first. My money is on humans insisting to keep giving things away to their friends.

I just figured most people already know about it. And if you don't, then you should probably read up on typography first before I give you access to 100s of free fonts to use on your site…
I've used rsync --partial to move very large quantities of files between computers (> 1 million once). Especially on many files, it generally runs several times faster than the OS's copy-to-networked-computer functionality, and it resumes in an instant. It's even faster if you run a daemon on the other end, so you don't need to do a bunch of back-and-forth to determine if a file is new or not.

It boggles my mind that OSX (for example) doesn't just use this under the hood, especially when sending to other OSX machines. It's an OS speaking to itself - spinning up a daemon automatically on the receiver would be trivial.
No, it's a web app. Although I think most of the advice applies equally well to Mac apps.

Not sure if you've tried this because you didn't mention it...

How about letting them schedule and set future publish times for the items? As a small biz owner, if I'm in the groove of adding products, I would love to just spend 4 hours straight on a Sunday night adding all the products for the week and have the system publish them on a schedule I set. It's much harder (and more annoying) to do this fresh every day for 15 minutes than doing so in a large block of time.

If freshness of the content is a real concern, I'd pay for something like that to make my site appear more fresh.

Well, I'll counter-point that I was in a 3-5 person team room for a few years and it was terrible. I've been in an open office for the last 1.5 years and it's been amazing and I've never been more productive. In the team room, no matter what I did, people felt they had the right to interrupt me. In the open office, I put on my headphones and am free of distractions, and people know that if you have headphones on you don't want to be disturbed. So each to their own I think.

An Open Letter to Angel's Gate
Appointment with Computer Support Service
Two years ago I bought my mom an iPad. I was hesitant to do so because I wasn't sure if she would actually use it. A year ago I bought her a new iMac (upgrade from a previous gen. iMac). She likes it, but now considers the iPad to be her main computing device.

My 5 year old son spends 90% of his supervised 'computer time' on an iPad. He doesn't understand the concept of a pixel, or why it's good that we don't see them. He has an older iMac in his room, but still prefers using the iPad as his 'main computing device'.

Talk about burning a candle at both ends! The term 'desktop' is archaic when thinking about a computer as a tool. Designers and engineers on the forefront of technology are spending their time creating devices for the 'Post PC' generation... not creating a better 'desktop'.

Reading some of the comments here, I cannot help but picture the accountant who still keeps his numbers in a [paper] notebook. At least they still make pencils!
