It's mostly the steep curve of learning the platform you're trying to emulate. Start here: http://emu-docs.org/ and read everything you can get your hands on.

Begin with the CPU and start emulating that. Then just start adding hardware bit by bit. It makes a lot more sense as you get into it.

For NES emulation, the community at nesdev.com is amazing for assistance if you get stumped.

Great idea Jonathan. I think a really simple and quick-to-build tool similar to what you suggest would be really helpful in situations like this. Right now people are eager to help out but there isn't a great place to see all of the photos and the best leads/analysis.
That sounds like what would normally be called a patron in English. See definition 4 here:

But I think patron may have connotations of influence over the artist. (I could be wrong on that.)

An aside that may be useful, DYMO has a somewhat supported JS library to print labels from a browser. I implemented it with an inventory system to print shelf labels, but I don't see why it couldn't be used here.
That's the crux of the entire debate. There arguably is plenty of evidence of multipliers, but the problem is that when your lab is the entire society, there's no counterfactual - there's no control group. So you can never quite say that in the absence of the debt spending, the multiplier effect wouldn't have happened.

Anti-keynesians (hayekians?) point this out regularly and like to say that the burden of proof is on the keynesians, which will of course be impossible for the keynesians to ever prove. So that's where they get their handhold on arguing against keynesian theory. (Note I'm only a hobbyist with this stuff so my explanations may be way off - this is just my own sense of it.)

Now, there's something to be said for sometimes accepting something that is not potentially provably false. I think Darwinian evolution is an example of something that is not a strictly technical theory, but there's been such a body of experimentation over the years that you pretty much have to accept it as fact anyway.

And there's work done in modern Causality about how to tease out causality from correlation in the absence of counterfactuals. I've been trying to struggle through a causality textbook by Judea Pearl but it's really weird advanced stuff.
Iiiiit's Pat!
You just need to apply heat to the top of the piggy bank while keeping the bottom cold. Its all in the theory.
I'm personally in favor of the TSA relaxing the rules, just as a lot of people here are opposed to any sort of rules. However a) I thought it would be intersting for people to engage with the reasons why some son't want to see those rules changed - for flight attendants, after all, the low risk -per-flight is multiplied by the very high number of flights they are on; and also to reflect that people opposing the rule change are organized whereas people supporting rule changes are not, and have so far greeted the proposed rules changes with total indifference.

So if the TSA decides to leave the current rules in place and continues to prevent passengers from carrying on anything larger than a paperclip, it might be because people who want change have failed to advocate for it. I'm surprised, for example, that Bruce Schneier has had nothing whatsoever to say on the the subject.

BTW I am not one to recommend the WSJ comment pages, but you can see further examples there of why many people prefer to trade freedom/dignity/convenience for security.
My video is on Youtube, so is quite easy. Using the google account I uploaded the video, I go to my video and click on "analytics". It is not listed, so any views are either from me or YC. But you also can dig deeper and see where your video is been saw from, mine analytics show that my video as once saw through a "ycombinator.com" player.
Its the difference between the purchase price and the settlement date. I've got no idea what really happened but can speculate that what happened was that an order to purchases 1.625M shares goes in, (that will cost $1B), the trades are recorded people who've sold get notified they sold @ $xx etc. Now the trader was hoping the price goes up by a few $, then sells again. Now if everything "works as planned" when the trades are settled at the end of the day the people who bought put their money in the people who sold get their money out and the left over is in the bank.

But if you buy the shares in the morning and the price goes down, if you want to 'hold' and wait, you need $1B to cover the purchase of the stock, but if you want to 'cut your losses' you just sell the stock again for what ever you can get before the markets close.

I'm guessing this was what happened, and at the end of the day the difference was $5.3M which the company had to come up with to balance their accounts. That left them with not enough money for day to day operations, poof they are dead.
I can agree with you there.

I'm just annoyed by how every other story is about "startups" when the name is Hacker News... Meh, I don't know, just saying.

When managers tell us implementing this feature, which they have never done themselves and have no possible way to experience, is super-easy and we're just lazy whiners for taking so long, we laugh them out of the room. Perspective matters.
Hum, no. Sandy/Ivy Bridge can only execute 4 double-precision instructions per cycle per core, in the form of two SSE instructions per cycle (one instruction doing adds, the other doing muls, executed by different units).

Doing 8 double-precision instructions per cycle would translate to either four 128-bit SSE instructions, or two 256-bit AVX instructions per cycle, which is not possible (unless I did not keep track of the latest AVX capabilities).
As are the Leslies, Shannons, Ashleys, and Tracys.

That makes me think, if you had firstname + birthdate, you could probably be a tiny bit more accurate.
Looking at Sabre's own timeline, I cringe at what I suspect the codebase must look like. From what I read between the lines here, it looks like neither a carefully maintained legacy system, nor a proper rewrite at any point along the way, but more like 50 years of things bolted onto each other: http://www.sabre.com/home/about/sabre_history

For me SMS was a great way to give my users mobile access before having a mobile app or even a mobile friendly version of the site. Using Twilio I was able to whip up a system where users could use the 2-factor auth and the other main feature of my little app whether they had a smartphone or not. I still support these SMS features today because sometimes a text is just faster than an app. Sometimes, not always.
Well, it certainly shows creativity.
Just a general comment on airlines:

With US-based carriers, expect low prices, inflating awards points/miles, and bottom-level service.

With non-US based carriers, expect higher prices, no awards programs, and excellent service.

This is my experience flying in N. America, Europe, and Asia.
Any reason you called it "Sex Machine"?
I understand you're joking, but just to point out - digging a deeper hole probably wouldn't be much of a multiplier, while other public spending efforts could have much higher multipliers.

On the other hand, if the deeper hold leads to a valuable public resource...

Yes, it looks computationally difficult to us, with what we know, to make a universe simulation. But if we're in a simulation, everything we know is a parameter of the simulation. We know nothing about the energy/computational capabilities of the simulation host system. So the main argument made here assumes the conclusion: if we're not a simulation -- our perception is accurate the 'real' limtis to computing -- then we're not in a simulation.
Also, a bit of trivia: AA invented Sabre. Sabre can actually trace itself back to AA's first attempts at using computerized business process automation in the 1950s, before it was spun off into a separate company in 2000.

Should anyone be bored enough for a read, I actually think SABRE's history is sort of interesting: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabre_(computer_system)

I'm not sure you're on target here. Your describing everything that PG says not to do in the video:

"The video should contain nothing except the founders talking. No screenshots or postproduction wizardry please; we don't want this to turn into a video making contest. If you're going to spend time making something cool, put it into your demo/product.

Please do not recite a script written beforehand. Just talk spontaneously as you would to a friend. People delivering memorized speeches (or worse still, text read off the screen) usually come off as stupid. Unless you're a good enough actor to fake spontaneity, you lose more in the stilted delivery than you gain from a more polished message."

From what I read all these advices go against what YC expect on this pitch video.

No script at all (I can't look right now, but there are several sources on this claim). No video professionals either!

And the point of the video is not to pitch the product to a customer. It is to pitch yourself to YC. That said, I think the video is too long and you should focus more on you and why this product is a good choice, not the product advertising itself.

And your co-founders must be on the video. That's it. No excuses.
I like to think of Nibs like classes. A lot of times I'll have a certain design I want reused throughout the app, and this works perfectly. For instance, in an app I'm working on now, I have a few different views that have scroll-views inside of them, with each object of the scroll-view being a view itself. In the last of the chain of views, I use a nib because there's a solid amount of data there, and visually designing it in IB is easier to iterate and make it look exactly like I want it to. I have a .m/.h attached to the view (just a subclassed UIView) with a custom init method, returning what is basically a custom object (that happens to be that .xib). It's super efficient to make changes and keep things looking good when the data or the feature-set needs to change.
If anyone is attempting to build something like this, I'll just note that automating this process (spatio-temporally registering photographs and reconstructing 3D models of cities as they change over time) was essentially the topic of my PhD thesis, but on historical time scales (1860s-2000s) rather than minute-to-minute.

A lot of Keynesian economists are arguing that now is not the time for austerity. The government's current mission should be to lower employment even if it means higher deficits (and debt) _for now_. Once we are out of this slump, the argument is that most of the deficit will take care of itself (since some of the deficit is lower tax revenue because of unemployment + cost of automatic stabilizers such as unemployment benefits). We still need to fix the rest of the deficit/debt problem after the crisis, though.

The second important argument is that (again, right now), this emphasis on austerity is actively making things worse.

Well, it depends on your value of success. At my last startup, as I explain in the linked talk above, we used Lean Startup techniques to kill a number of ideas that we would otherwise have implemented. The startup still didn't make it, so you could call it a failure, but the customer development and iterative market-testing techniques gave us many more tries for the same money, so I am very happy we used them.

But if you want a more traditional success story, I'd suggest Boxbee:

https://boxbee.com/

I was a mentor at a Lean Startup Machine event ~18 months ago where I met the founder. He had a very hazy idea, and over the course of the weekend refined it into something more focused. He then used the Lean Startup techniques to build a business that had revenue from the first month, and was quickly in the black. Relentlessly refining both the user experience and the back end, he found product-market fit and came up with a sustainable plan. And he did this all in his spare time, mainly with his own money.

A month or so ago he pitched it at Jason Calcanis's LAUNCH conference and took first place. Now he's raising money to build an infrastructure well beyond the initial MVP-grade product.

But you can also look at historical examples. It's important to note that none of the Lean Startup techniques are new. It's meant to be a crystallization of things that some people were doing before, but that had never really been talked about. At the local Lean Startup Circle event, we had the founders of Dropbox and Cafe Press talk about how they worked, and it was very much in the start-small-and-iterate-relentlessly style that the Lean Startup folks are promoting.
You must not be flying the low-cost airlines in Europe. I have never seen any US-based airline that rivals the combination of low-price and bottom-level service provided by Ryanair. Unfortunately, the low-end airlines are so popular within Europe that it's increasingly hard to avoid them, even if you want to pay more, because they have many of the direct flights (especially to vacation destinations).
A really interesting book I read about this is Hard Landing by Thomas Petzinger Jr. This contains more than just a history of Sabre. I read it more because I work in the travel industry ;-)

Less OT: Using such a thing to pre-select the probably-right option on a gender picker might be actually useful without the false selections causing the "fake familiarty" problem.
I don't think this is true at all. Europe's low cost airline business is major. Easyjet, Ryanair, Flybe and Jet2 just to name a few. Obviously the service on these carriers is awful but flying between European cities for $50 a flight isn't uncommon. Personally my most consistent good service experiences have been with Air Canada. BA was good too as was Aer Lingus. I've only had two flights with them but I wasn't fond of AA.
This gem is too clever by half.
I guess the results will be published soon.

Now you've moved from saying I'm bad at math to calling me smug, and saying that I'm dismissing your data. I'm not dismissing your data; you have cited NO DATA.

Your first link referenced what amounts to a policy paper by the Detroit Regional Literacy Fund. Which is actually interesting because it implies the link goes to a study by the National Institute for Literacy.

As an aside, I'm not doubting the reputation of the National Institute for Literacy. I just don't trust any study I can't see the data from. This is a personal thing, but it comes from working and being friends with people that routinely manipulate data for Federal Policy Think-Tanks.

So first you have the Huffington Post with two sources, one that doesn't have any references in it and makes statements without visible justification and another that is The Wall Street Journal. Second, you've got a Yahoo Voices article: Your second link listed these sources: www.proliteracy.org, The Washington Post, Wikipedia, BBC News and the Associated Press. So you've got publications sourcing other publications.

The reason I don't immediately trust everything on the Huffinton Post and periodicals that don't actually source any studies AT ALL, is because they often draw inaccurate conclusions from bad data, or use sources that have no scientific grounding.

This happens a lot with medical studies.

The other problem is you seem to be assuming that the unemployed population is the same as the illiterate population. I don't know why you assume this, as your sources don't have any causative inferences.

Detroit has high illiteracy. Detroit also has high unemployment. Without a study, though, there is no implied causation.

If all you want is a citation from a periodical, I can do that: how about this that says 53% of recent college graduates are un- or underemployed?

Here's a taste:

This design flaw is certainly real, and is one of the many reasons why we have started migrating to a new design. In short, when the Agile Keychain Format was designed (in 2008), we weren't aware of all of the various problems that come from using unauthenticated CBC mode encryption.

I could plead that we were in reasonably good company in making that kind of error, but as I've since learned, research in academic cryptography had been telling people not to use unauthenticated encryption for more than a decade. This is why today we aren't just looking at the kinds of attacks that seem practical, but we are also paying attention to security theorems.
Why do you assume that domestic creditors will invest domestically, though? Pay a debt to Apple and a new factory will get built... in China.
I love this prognostication:

"The growth of the Internet will slow drastically, as the flaw in "Metcalfe's law"--which states that the number of potential connections in a network is proportional to the square of the number of participants--becomes apparent: most people have nothing to say to each other! By 2005 or so, it will become clear that the Internet's impact on the economy has been no greater than the fax machine's."

It hinges on a such a fundamental misconception of humanity. It matters not that people have nothing to say to each other, they will still talk at each other! But more importantly humanity has an endless depth of vanity that can only be treated but never filled by an endless depth of drivel. Never before in our history have so many said so much to so many with so little content.

Ok, enough pith for now. :-)

Whats odd about it is most psuedo-science involves magnets and conspiracy theories and this has neither. I can see a new fresh startup trying one at a time, but trying to innovate by giving it a go without both, seems a bit over ambitious. He really needs to add magnets and the CIA if he wants other alternative scientists to take him seriously.

He does have luminiferous aether, which is a plus.

Also don't waste your time on reverse image searches, I didn't find anything interesting.

On the other hand he is playing games with heat and calorimetry is notorious both semi-professionally and in psuedoscience land as being some hard to interpret stuff. So that is semi-traditional.
