I know some are salivating over this but it's still far behind the DevTools built into Chrome. For example, how do you inspect the DOM? How you do you look at generated runtime elements? How do you inspect cascaded styles? Why use two tools when the other is just a proxy to a subset of the functionality built into Chrome's dev tools?
I'm thinking about this, but one of my motivations for doing it was to have only primary-sourced, up-to-date information - there's so much rumour and third-hand information on forums when you search for visa requirements, and I wanted to do something more authoritative and trustworthy.

But it could work as long as the comments are clearly separated from the "official" information.

You might want some country aliases; since the first items in the drop-down had full country names in them, I expected to have to type "united states", not "US".

Works great, otherwise. Seems handy as a standalone service; it'd help even more if integrated into a travel site like Hipmunk.

I didn't say you fabricated it, just that it doesn't follow from the story. That there was something to offset also doesn't imply sexism was in the mix of things to offset.
It should be saying "no information available" for those, as I haven't done the research on the transitional arrangements for Romania and Bulgaria that might be in effect (such as in the UK) until 2014.
U-Haul's designing that to last though a beating and carry cargo for a boat you can go as low as a 125 lbs for the trailer. As a SUT-200-S will handle a 200LB boat and it's shipping wieght is 125 lb. http://www.clcboats.com/shop/products/boat-gear/boat-transpo...

Anyway, sure there are limits, but a nice 14 foot boat at 1,000lb plus 500lb for the trailer is still a decent boat IMO.
Err... WTF?

If the entrepreneur got a choice between the two, the 2% royalty might be conceivably worth it in some cases.

Letting Sony/ABC pick, however, means any deal you do on the show has an automatic minimum of 5% equity tacked onto the investment price. And that's pretty significant considering I've seen plenty of deals for as low as 0-10%.
I've seen that meditation comes in lots forms, so I'm guessing some of the people who chose "I have never tried it" might think that it gets done kind of like the movies promote it, where you sit down and chant or hum. Would be nice to get a good starting point resource from someone that has experience on it. One thing that seemed interesting to me is that meditation doesn't have to be on a silent place, and the actual noise around you could also be part of it, so I'd be very interested in knowing more.
Do you really think Yammer needs a Mac app?
This is cool as far as it goes. However what I'd really like to see (though it would obviously be a lot more work) is an analysis that tracks the deals through to consummation. I've read that a very high percentage fall through before funding (HyConn was one of the high profile examples.)

Alternatively, those feelings are what's really important, and the matters at hand are just trivial details that, by accident, happen to be the focal points for discussion.

All this discussion of who heard who tell what joke, or who tweeted what when, or who should have responded differently, are mostly just distractions.
"Is it possible to be unhealthy on an omnivorous diet? Look at the average American."

I'm not arguing that point, and I already conceded it earlier, don't misdirect.

If you think a little B12 every once in a while is the only supplement required on a vegan diet, with a little D in the winter, I hope that you aren't observing such a diet, or you've already failed in understanding even the basics of the nutritional and biological science required to even have a chance at making it work long term.
This is great and is certainly something I'll use as I'm exploring summer travel options. One thing I would love to see though, is a simple "yes" or "no" at the front of the sentence. I had to read "US citizens do not require a visa to visit Argentina." a couple of times to make sure I had it right.
> The cure for sexism is apparently... more special treatment for women?

Hah!
Yep. I've always figured the best thing to do (for Dragon's Den, I've seen a lot less Shark Tank but it seems identical) is to be ready to capitalize on the advertising and then aim for no-deal.

Especially since what I've heard about the process of getting the deal actually done (as opposed to TV done, a lot of them fall through post-air) is that it'll sap a lot of time and effort anyway.
> However, the IETF is currently trying working on the WebRTC effort for standardizing Skype-style audio and video conferencing via web-browsers.

Now I see why Nokia (with an ex-Microsoft CEO) doesn't want VP8 to succeed. Microsoft bought Skype for $8.5 and is looking to protect that investment. Wouldn't be the first time that had happened at least.

brew is homebrew and as a new mac user you will want and adore it.

its a package manager, but more than that it has scripts to handle the mac's strange edge cases.

so many packages wasted so many hours of my life before homebrew took over.
I also miss this feature however there are options:
a) for small and mid-sized tables you can use a SELECT + conditional INSERT or UPDATE or INSERT-on-exception-UPDATE works

Hi, I tried a search for "model based testing" and the results seem not to be of very high quality. Are you lacking sources?

Also, it's not possible to discern high-quality from low-quality papers in any way. As a graduate student, I weed out what I should read by reading the titles+abstracts in the order of the amount of citations. Citation amount maybe isn't the most optimal indicator of quality but it is a strong one.

In order of importance: Scope (does it cover all journals?), Quality (how do I know if something's worth reading), Speed (I noticed your search runs a little on the slow side).

Other than that the site looks great, I'd certainly switch if you would get the basics down :)
I hadn't checked in a while, but some spot-checking right now suggests it may depend on whether you care about conferences (which in my area are important). Seems to do a better job on journals, but to be 2-3 years out of date on conferences.

For example, it doesn't seem to have indexed much from ICML since 2010 (though, curiously, it indexes exactly 3 papers from ICML 2011): http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Conference/35/icml-in...

Similar story for AAAI: http://academic.research.microsoft.com/Conference/251/aaai-n...

One thing that's neat about GS is that it has a negative lag instead: it's already indexing papers from a bunch of conferences that haven't happened yet, and whose proceedings aren't officially out. It finds the versions that authors post on their own webpages, or in their institutional repositories, almost as soon as they're posted. For example, you can already read a good portion of the CHI 2013 proceedings if you search on the ISBN: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=%22978-1-4503-...

IANAL but I've got some "experience" in the legal area. A felony is a crime that is punishable by incarceration of more than one year. It doesn't matter if you were given one day in jail -- if the crime you are convicted of could have resulted in you being given one year and one day, it is a felony.
I think this is one thing the whole debate over the last week has taught me to ensure I am always critically thinking about anything that it is all down to people's perceptions - they are going to be completely different to mine.

For example, I tweeted this very article a couple of hours ago - and I've had people tell me it's nothing but "simultaneously trolling one side of an argument while patting the backs of the other side" to "thoughtfully written and makes a some worthwhile points, but also a lot therein to disagree with" and even "some good points, but do we really need to play the "but women aren't predisposed to technology" card?"

An article like this, and the events that happened themselves - everyone is going to view it with their own rose-tinted glasses, and no one is going to be happy.
Fwiw, I was searching for united states or american before looking for US. Just got Visas to visit Brazil, Liberia, and Ghana, so I know the process. All the sites for this info suck and you have a good opportunity to make something useful.

At this point Google has proven it only wants to focus on profitable ventures or those that tie into Google +. Any service/data aggregation that Google is solely depended on should be considered at risk of closure at any time, and such closure should not come as a surprise. Personally I am moving away from Google except for only the least valuable services; my email, calendar and everything else are moving elsewhere to paid services. It is the end of the age of innocence for Google.

Delta used to have an awesome frontend for Timatic (the system that all of the airlines use for determining their own liability in visa requirement issues) that I used exclusively. Sadly, it seems they've removed it from their new site.

I was able to find a similar offering[1] for free on Gulf Air's site, though.

A nice frontend to Timatic would be awesome, but I suspect that the licensing is too pricey...

The new Dreamliner jet is a good example of this (once they solve the battery problem and can fly the sucker...). It's massively more efficient than its predecessors (20% more efficient than the 767 according to Boeing). That's a huge jump.

I think you could make the same arguments about Google Code Search, which google shut down. It was a search, and the kind of service that would appeal to many of Google'e employees.
I think alot of the angst that comes towards people who sold their companies, is simply using the term "sell." That gives the impression that you went out and shamelessly hawked your product to the highest bidder.

I personally find that if you instead say that so and so was "bought out" by a bigger company, then that's much easier to come to terms with for most people. That phrase gives the impression that a bigger company saw much value in your company and just had to have it for themselves, leaving you little choice in the matter.
Because of my own myopic, self-interestedness I actually do think some programmers are smarter than most lawyers. But this article is not evidence or argument of that.

Knowledge wise they are on a par, though having said that you can't be a lawyer without knowing x > massive amounts of law, and you can be a programmer (not necessarily a good one) without knowing x amounts about a language, structures, and low level.

The kicker is abstract/mathmatical knowledge/ability. Lawyers require none. To my mind abstract problems require the most 'intelligence' as it were. But again that's personal bias.

Perfect example of quoting a sentence out of context.
"It's now very common to hear people say 'I'm rather offended by that.' As if that gives them certain rights; it's actually nothing more...it's simply a whine.

I'm the admin of this site (abiteofpizza). Thanks for the advice! The domain is the product of less than an hour of searching for an available domain, so I won't deny that it's probably not the best.

I hesitate to change the domain since the site has been around for a little under a year. I'd be afraid that it'd hurt my search placement too much. I do agree with you that the domain is a little bit difficult to remember though. I'll keep it in mind, and do some research on how a 302 redirect affects a site's ranking.

My opinion is that if this were a more sincere Kickstarter that focused on the child, I'd give it a pass. Instead it reads as a mother's ignorant views on sex and sexuality ironically being used to generate sympathy for gender issues and, ultimately, profit. She even manages to hate on developers by saying "as a businessperson" she feels like she's "at their mercy" instead of taking some responsibility and educating herself before hiring people she feels used by. She says she's glad her daughter's getting into it so she no longer feels swindled. What a great attitude to have about an entire industry and one's own willingness to learn.

Regardless of her wealth, I'm not cool with people taking advantage of Kickstarter by exploiting children, people with different lifestyles and serious social issues. Her Twitter campaigning illustrates her intentions even further.

An honest campaign would have been much more driven by the child. When I was this girl's age, I would have pounced at the chance to show people the nerdy stuff I was doing so I could prove how badly I wanted to go to a game dev summer camp, especially because I was a girl. If my mom put this together, I would have been embarrassed and ashamed.

Do away with the weird over-produced secret agent PowerPoint template of a presentation and ridiculous TLDR written by the mother. Do away with the weird marketing materials (a beer koozie that says "I drink like a girl, keep up!"?). Like any other gaming Kickstarter, I want to know more about what I can expect from this game rather than vague bullet-list promises to be "unlike other games", especially when the original cost was only going to cover 5 days of development. The girl has an entire diary of game ideas she could help sell herself with, but instead of substance I get to read trying-to-be-funny commentary not at all written by a 9-year-old.

Caine's Arcade (http://vimeo.com/40000072) comes to mind as a much better way to tell the story of a child's passion through their eyes.
Google has stated before they think of themselves as working on an AI. Like Google's scanning of books, reading all the academic articles isn't for popular consumption but for their knowledge engine. Think of IBM's medical engine. Zero chance they will stop scanning them, and a very low chance they will shut it down for the public.
Hypothetically, I wonder if there would be legal issues with running a bot to scrape data from Gulf Air's page. They don't seem to have a ToS which prohibits it, as far as I can tell; and I would expect the data itself to be non-copyrightable.

Why HN is broken
HN is broken for the same reason Google is. When something is more popular it does not mean it is more interesting. In fact, the opposite. The most popular links are bland and uninteresting. Upvotes are a great way to filter out spam, but not a good way to select for interestingness.
Neat! I wonder if you could crowd-source some of the missing data. I tested it with "I'm a US Citizen travelling to Macau." but didn't get any result. The US state department web site http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_pa_tw/cis/cis_955.html#en... says no visa is required.

I've been looking for data on the offer variance on deals that have one entrepreneur versus multiple partners. Can't seem to locate that info.

From watching it, it seems like entrepreneurs get more offers when they have partners, particularly there on set with them. Would match up with what is seen in other investing circles.

> 40W over 20 seconds doesn't sound too daunting.

It would be 40W _for_ 20 seconds, or 800 Joules, which is a lot of heat, enough to boil 3 grams of water that started at 20C or increase the temperature of 30g of aluminum by ~30C over ambient.
For one, I don't think I deserve to be hanged even once. I believe I cannot even be convicted for even minor crimes. Following the law has its benefits, not worrying (about being caught), is a significant one for me.
This is very true, as it can be hard to sit or focus, and it tends to bring up many uneasy thoughts and emotions. But it is very helpful to find a place of relaxation, since meditation itself is simply a vehicle for self discovery. Meditation is the journey, and the journey is the destination.

The ultimate "goal" is transcendence, which untethers your consciousness from your physical body and is quite a liberating experience.

The catch to it all, is that you can't have a goal while meditating, other than to be present in the moment, which is an admirable goal in itself.

Thanks, but I think you're missing the point of this conversation. The parent said:

>Being 'bored' is the best part - setting a time to do 'nothing' during the day. There's always something to do, something to see, someone to talk to, but there's rarely 'nothing' to do.

implying there is something inherently motivating in finally finding an opportunity to do nothing during the day. For me, that opportunity comes when I'm in bed, ready to go to sleep.

Regarding entering sleep states while being mindful, can I ask what you're using this ability for?
