> Wow, that's huge! I'm wondering how this has not been noticed before.

Most likely it's not huge. If it were, it would have been noticed before.

As to why it's not huge... That's a very interesting question.
Use something terse, like maybe J [1]. Java or C++ definitely out of the question, too much boilerplate. Lisp would be difficult with only the left hand due to the location of '(' and ')' keys.

Probably simpler to just use one of those "make this page look prettier" browser extensions out there. (typically a part of those "read it later" apps)

I personally use readability for this (though I don't use it for mobile or any other purpose other than "make this pretty now"), and tried it now on pastebin and it seems to work fine.
hot cheap money does it. Wait for the FED to raise interest rates. I.e. why to invest in a startup when just keeping cash in a bank deposit gives you 7-10% return?

I read somewhere that the average return of VC companies hasn't been higher than traditional investments for the past decade. Wow! VC is high risk, should be high return. It is high risk with blue chip stock return.

This type of anomaly still functioning is possible only because of the low interest rates environment we have had for the past 15 years. Cheap credit enables this. People being forced to invest as they can't just keep money on 1% "savings" bank accounts helps that too. Once the hot air is out, it'll all go back to normal.
We've been directly stimulating the acoustic nerve since the 1960s. The first commercial "bionic eye" was FDA approved in February. Various brain-computer interfaces, invasive and not, have proven practical if still rather crude over the last 20 years.

"Matrix style" is already here, it just doesn't use a giant SO-239 in the back of the head.
I'm glad someone mentioned Existenz. God, that movie is weird, but it's definitely very unique in its biological approach to sci-fi. Very interesting though, check it out if you haven't yet.

Gopack: dependency management for go
The discussion here demonstrates the problem.

So lets take a moment and think about what we see vs what we do.

So if you take the Internet and extend it to its logical next step we've got 20 - 40gbits of bandwidth between everyone and everyone else.

We've got parallel rendering pipelines and physics simulation such that you can render a scene that is indistinguishable from reality to our poor brains, and then you can project all the moving pieces between any group of people.

So in a plausible future everyone is sitting inside a brain jar experiencing a 'shared world' in what is not unlike a giant World of Warcraft type experience, including the ability to do magic, conjure things out of thin air. While nutrients feed what's left of our bodies.

Is that exciting? Does that make for dramatic movies? No. But sadly it is the current path we are on.
The vast majority of American medical cost is also socialized, despite the propaganda (employer mandates to provide health insurance, medicaid, medicare, VA). It's just socialized in a very inefficient manner.
Amiato (YC W12) is looking for full-stack developers
We help web and mobile companies analyze their AB test data to optimize user experience. Aimed at product managers who aren't data experts, our cloud analytics service is unlike any other. It not only provides real-time access to all relevant data, both structured and unstructured, but also helps quickly learn why users do what they do (see www.amiato.com). Our customers can do in hours what previously took days. We've got great traction with notable gaming, mobile, and e-commerce companies and are growing fast.

We're looking for full-stack developers to help:

- (front-end): build beautiful, intuitive visualizations that help answer why. (We're fans of D3.js).

- (back-end): build and support a scalable, multi-tenant web application

We're big data experts that believe there's more to data than stats and charts. Data is full of stories that enlighten and empower, and we want to help people discover and tell them.

If this sounds exciting, drop us a note at jobs@amiato.com with a resume, profile, or background info. We will get back to you.

Sorry, I thought that HN was handling existing posts giving an upvote to the original poster.
I see, the only difference is that the new post has only one image :) Any restful APIs will work the same.
No, you can't. It is an administrative surcharge, not a service price increase. Thusly, it falls outside the sections you quoted.

What they will do, if you argue the point enough, is credit you the extra amount times the number of months you have left on your contract.

Also, the fee is per line.
The idea of a sub $500 AED from eBay makes me feel very nervous.
If you understand the basics of physics and the nature of Earth and the moon, as we did by about 1700, it's easy enough to grasp how you might get from one to the other given sufficient energy. A little over 250 years later, it happened.

I wouldn't necessarily rule out a major breakthrough in space travel, though it seems extremely unlikely. But transporter technology is so wildly implausible as to be effectively impossible, certainly in that time frame. Reassembling a full human being doesn't even begin to fit our current understanding or any suggested theory of physics.
Real estate hyperinflation is really, really damaging to a city's culture.
They couldn't create tech that was TOO forward thinking, IE creating tech that might be seen around the time of TNG - given that as a franchise they could still mine a reboot of TNG if the well for Kirk-era Star Trek runs dry.

I wasn't disappointed by the tech. To be frank, I think that they're simply giving themselves room to continue making money with rebooting other Star Trek franchises in the future
If I'm not mistaken, that's a fallacious slippery-slope argument. I'm still undecided on how to weigh language popularity against other factors, but surely relative popularity is an important factor in things that have a big effect on real-world software development, such as availability of libraries and tools. For now, at least, Go is much more popular than Nimrod, and also has more people working on the language implementation and surrounding tools.
If it saved your company > $100k a year, you'd probably rollout Chrome or at least ChromeFrame
Good advertising if this interview is legit.

Companies don’t purchase DDoS protection. Cloudflare for example offers incredibly strong DDoS protection for 200 dollars a month (also its harder to jack a cloudflare domain). If I extort you for 200-1000 dollars for 1 day why not make yourself immune for the minimal fee?

The other thing companies are built on is employees being able to create more value within the company than outside of it. Every single employee has the option of quitting and founding their own business. Several do. Many take a pay cut to exercise this right.

Here's their explanation of this one in particular:

its agents pay to interconnect with other carriers to
deliver calls from AT&T customers to their customers; and
(b) charges associated with cell site rents and maintenance.

Adequate in 5-10. I doubt this. I have trained students for 10ish years. I have seen what very experienced ED nurses (and consultants, anaesthetists etc) do with their 'diagnosis' from films, despite numerous courses and flash qualifications. This is without taking the film. Do it for years, see lots of things, make lots of mistake and then you'll get good.
Radiography students are generally competent for unsupervised chest radiography after about 6 months to a year. This is working 2 days a week, study for 3 days. You could probably produce a crap film but good enough to show ET tube in significantly less time, but a good operator has other ways to verify tube placement.
Portable x-ray in bigger towns provides a great service to rest homes, prisons etc and is fiddly and laborious. It's a niche market. The same (but less common) with mobile MRI. CT must be done somewhere in a mobile fashion, I haven't seen it.
It is easy to get a little twisted with terminology, but mobile x-ray generally means you push it around the hospital, portable meaning you carry it out the van, up the stairs, into the rest home (the 600kg mobile machine is not something you would carry easily).This terminology is widely abused though!
The cynic in me sees the insurance company trying to figure out if the part of the bolt that struck came from the cloud or the ground, and if the former, dismissing the claim as an 'act of god'...
Are your really saying that accounts who sockpuppet and vote-ring shouldn't be banned? (not saying this is what happened to the account being discussed)
TNG had to, they're the future; the current movie is the time-line of the original Trek; they can't do that, it wouldn't make sense.
In a true emergency, like if your hairs are already standing on end, sounds like all of the above should be discarded, with the exception of 5 and 6 - squat down, heels together, balls of feet apart.

Unless you could jump and roll away from the tree or something.
Right, but that was true of feudal structures too.
I think you missed the point of the reboot, Vulcan was destroyed, the time-line forever altered, this crew isn't going to re-live the events of the original crew.
There are hard limits to Access's internal engine (JET, IIRC) which you're likely to run into as time goes on. The unfortunate thing is that there isn't anything you can do to avoid the limits or recover once you've hit them.

On the other hand, you can install Postgres under Windows and then build an Access frontend over ODBC. This gets you the best of both worlds, IMO, at the cost of running a kind of odd stack. Cheaper than SQL Server though, and I like the maintenance story better.

TBH the last time I considered a solution like this I was consulting, so it was a few years ago, and all my clients either didn't sign up at all or went for a custom web solution instead, so I don't have a lot of war stories about this platform. I do think it would work though.
My impression is that most DRBD setups are such that the backing volume is marked to recall which node last had 'master' (ie. write capacity), thus avoids this issue. However, to achieve this reliably it needs out of band STONITH (shoot-the-other-node-in-the-head), eg. IPMI.
Cost of full body CT scan may be greater than that - it would likely put you in Hiroshima-survivor radiation dose range.

Edit: did some reading. The risk is surprisingly low. For a 45 year old a single whole body scan has a mortality risk of 0.08%, and if the same person had one annually thereafter till 75, its a 1.9% lifetime risk. David, Brennee and Ellison in Radiology, 2004.
It's this. You end up living with the consequences of your v1 design almost indefinitely, and that's a major tax on a team for what can sometimes be relatively minor benefits. Even in areas like Android where you _have_ to publish APIs, etc, I've seen the regret teams can have about a standard or API that seemed like a good idea at the time but turned into a major albatross.

Yes, basically, any restful image processing API can perform the same way, such as http://www.rekognition.com/ and http://www.skybiometry.com/

Because usually you trust the x server.

This is saying that most client libraries are exploitable by a malicious x server.

A vulnerability in the x server itself, allowing a client to take control of it, would be rather more worrying to most people.
> So, why do you need to include JQuery?

Because it's the foundation of jQuery UI, and JQUI has modules that I don't feel like writing myself from scratch (sortable nested lists).

Still, the joins between Angular and JQUI (through AngularUI) are fairly visible. It's not a smooth ride at the moment.
I just checked out the language shootout. Go has really pulled ahead from where it used to be. Faster than SBCL or Ocaml or Free pascal on quad core 64-bit - that's impressive.

Clojure's done some impressive improving, too.
Simple solution: if a reasonable person would think the ambulance was unnecessary, the patient is billed for time. If necessary, it's socialized.
I don't want to push this next claim too far, as I only have "I have heard" to back it & no actual numbers or links, but...

I have heard on more than one occasion that the reason emergency services (ambulances, ER, etc) are so expensive is to recover the cost of all the uninsured users.

People can be refused at a clinic if they have no insurance, so they go to ER for everything, where in many places they cannot be turned away. Hospitals therefore have to bill YOUR insurance to recover these costs

That's why your ambulance ride is so expensive.
I guess the author was lamenting the absence of things such as the 3D user interfaces from Minority Report.
There was one point in the interview where I thought "ah, this gives me a clue where he's from!" -- the use of the term "fortnight". I don't know of any American who uses this term, so I'd guess he's in the UK. Also the use of the term "Uni".
Right. FF21 on Linux. I will.
The new movies were backward thinking by design. Into Darkness takes place 5 years before TOS and 100 years before TNG. Any radically new federation technology inserted there but not shown in TOS/TNG would just look out of place and be held against it.
Code or it didn't happen
>but it has not necessarily increased the well-being of the average person

2000-2010 was the greatest decade in all of human history for upraising the standard of living of the human race as a whole. The attitude in this entire comments thread sickens me.
Openness being part of the culture doesn't mean that everything Google does is disclosed publicly. Openness to the public, and openness within a company are two entirely separate issues, and there are obvious practical limits to both (at different levels) if you want to be competitive.
Forget the hacker/maker vs. "business guy" distinction. The article's central claim is the rise of a kind of person adept at playing the political game of VC -- raising a round, and then getting soft-acquihired if their company fails.

I, for one, have a hard time believing that every startup M&A transaction adds shareholder value to the acquirer. A more likely narrative, and one the author of the article calls into question, is that the entrepreneur has friends/other back-channels at the acquirer and uses these personal connection to engineer the "acquisition" of their company, at the expense of shareholders.
Regular-banned maybe. Good potential for them to reregister and stop the bad behavior. Best method is blocking them from getting upvotes but if their comments are productive then they should not be hidden. Hellban is the worst option, even below ignoring the situation. Who cares if someone gets fake points, especially when points are hidden. (Fake votes on submissions are a potential issue but that's not what we're discussing)
> If we spent the last thirty years inspired by what we saw in Star Trek, what’s going to inspire us for the next thirty?

I think video games, AAA and indie titles alike have got this covered for me. What inspires one man does not inspire another.

It's interesting that we don't see many portrayals of the future of the web or internet either, considering how large of an impact it has had on humanity in the past 20 years.
No you don't, because there's no obligation for the ambulance officers to pick you up and take you. A taxi is in the business of taking anyone they can anywhere they can. An ambulance is not. The only time they'll offer you a ride is if they judge that you may need of it, so already qualified ambulance officers have deemed you a possible candidate requiring their services. Moreover, they've only got one destination - the hospital - and it's not as if many people want to go there willingly. It's not as if you can call up an ambulance to pick you up and take you down to the pub for the night. If the ambulance officers are qualified to recognise medical emergencies (they are - that's their job) then they're qualified to determine who requires ambulance transportation and can filter patients accordingly.

The problem with 'a charity covering the bill' is that you then need people to donate out of goodwill. That doesn't often happen.

There's already fines and punishment for abusing emergency support systems (e.g.: calling 000/911/your country's equivalent). Even if you abuse that, and even if you mislead the call centre operator to dispatch an ambulance to your house, they're not going to ferry you to your desired location unless your vitals show reason to consider it a possible requirement.

Ambulance services are free here, insofar as you pay for a small tax on every rates bill (said rates cover ambulance and waste management services) edit: Apparently not since 2003 - it's now simply just covered by the State. There's no out-of-pocket expense. I can guarantee you that we don't have ambulances running people not requiring their services around 24/7.
When I hear people say this I think "there's someone without a lot of exposure". Yes the mistakes do happen. Aside from the fact that bugs will happen with your high level languages too, when you get on a good stride with C you will find the mistakes not as frequent, and you will become good at debugging and fixing them when they do happen. As mentioned on this thread they won't go to zero, and I'll admit they'll sometimes be a different set of problems than with other languages. But it's not totally unmanageable or unapproachable.

PS: your comment wold hold more weight if you had written C in your example. It looks like HN's italic formatter got in your way in the first snippet, but p = malloc(int) will not compile.
I think simply wrapping REST APIs with Java would work for Google Glass. My main concern is the performance of API like accuracy, robustness of infrastructure, etc...
If you talk to EMTs you'd find most calls are for elderly people with heartburn. Yes, some people abuse the system. Maybe offer one free ride a year or something.
I'm inclined to wonder if wearing a pointy metal crown would be better given the operating theory for lighting rods.
I switched from Knockout to AngularJS.

Knockout basically thoroughly entangles itself with my model -- I have to wrap my attributes in ko.computed() or ko.observable().

That makes unit testing messier and leaves me constantly trying to remember what is left as .dataAtttribute and what's been transformed into .dataAttribute().

I have to declare the bindings in Angular also, but after that it largely leaves my code alone. I shaved about 10% off my model code when I switched.
What makes you think this isn't our present?
Fair enough on point 2. But he'd have to be careful about viewing his Twitter account wouldn't he?
Could these one day be buried under houses like we once had cellars for cold storage, wine, curing of meats, etc? Would make for fewer temperature fluctuations - in an Australian summer, a shipping container would bake and perhaps any excess heat from temperature control or lighting could be released to heat the home above it?

"Honey, I'm just going down to the grow cellar to get herbs and pick spinach for dinner."

Of course, it would also be a huge space saving. My house is on a 750sqm block and I have a decent part of my garden allocated to growing vegetables (15+ types at any given time) and herbs (9-10 types). The ability to grow and share more would reduce food miles amongst other advantages.

If the growing supplies arrived via a subscription service and some of the power costs were offset by solar, the demand on hobby owners could be reduced enough to make it viable for more than just small and medium scale farmers.

Edit: Also, addition of aquaponics would complicate things, but might interest some. If you're going to be controlling temperature already, might as well do it for the fish too and cycle your water.

Not sure if they are using a Compactus-type system to really pack in growing space for the hydroponics, but if not that might be worth trying.

I think the 7$ dollars a month is reasonable for a great service, I'm a student (while working) but will continue to pay for my repos. I hope others do the same. I think a significant percentage of GitHub's user base are in school for something and could potentially qualify for this, but probably shouldn't if they can afford to pay. That said I use the student discount for Amazon Prime, so I am a hypocrite.

If my memory serves me right, they didn't need that funding to develop the Model S, they just took it to make the whole process a little bit less risky.

Similar to the desktop market, I think the tablet market is too saturated to change the game. You can only play catchups now.
How did Wave end up with that sort of mess? Isn't Google full of Very Smart People?
Yes, but how likely it is for your X server to get compromised? How often do you connect to your machine using an untrusted X server?

This is like saying your car can be stolen by anyone who has its key. Yes, it most likely can. Or that your house is vulnerable to anyone who's inside it.
Agree. But, there's nowhere we can test their stuff. When you go online, it only says reserve ur API key, then nothing happened!! I wonder whether they do have this kind of thing ready or just a great PR work~
X.org? Still vulnerable!? I am shocked, shocked, to see these holes still there. There's nothing really new here, what needs to be new is the will for programmers to finally go and fix this stuff.
It wouldn't be Star Trek (TOS), not that it really was. TNG took place over 80 years after the events of TOS, of course it looked more advanced.

This is Kirk, Spock and McCoy, their place and point in time in Star Trek history is basically set in stone now. To change it would mean you are not making Star Trek any more.
Man, I hope we get there before I buy a farm. Not that I think it's likely, but if I could experience for forever . . . or, instead, if I could just turn of my desire to experience for forever. Either alternative is better than the fate humans meet today.
