Are you unaware of the distinction between qualitative and quantitative knowledge? Or are you suggesting that "attentive" owners have nothing to learn from measurements?

I work out every day, but I still wear my Bodymedia armband. I already know that my caloric burn was high yesterday, and I still get value from knowing how high.
Did nobody read the part in the study where they indicate one should do this 3 times in a row, so as to get to the magical 20-minute-ish level, where high-intensity training actually does something..?

Or should I get my eyes/reading comprehension tested?

We built Yumcoin because we think existing solutions for accepting Bitcoin are too complicated. A few people have to built custom sites to accept Bitcoin for their products (eg. Knife Party, James Altucher), but we think the process can be a lot simpler. We host your product, give you a short link you can share with your audience, and manage the Bitcoin payments for you.

There's lots of new features we're working on, but it's already useful and fun.

Here's an example Yumcoin link: https://yumcoin.com/p/osZO

I created a new account and didn't use the option to sign in with my Google account. The importer didn't ask me to sign in with my Google account, but is happily waiting for feeds to import from Google Reader. Surely it isn't able to do that without me authorizing it first?

Also, are there any plans for mobile apps? If yes, please tell me that you're going to charge for them.

Show HN: HNBlocker – Chrome extension that lets you block other HN users
I fail to see how this addresses the idea that Balanced was "promoting their brand." Was anyone questioning the engineering talent at either company?

Stripe wrote this blog post to promote their brand, Balanced let potential customers know that they have similar functionality. Both companies, in my opinion, offer extremely high-quality services (I have used both in production) and have great engineering talent. I do not think we should knock either company for "promoting their brand", it's important that potential customers (read: HN users) are able to make informed decisions. I think zende, pc, and the original blog post all do a good job of articulating the features available through their respective APIs.
All of the remotes I've seen require physical access to an unlocked car to initiate the re-synchronization procedure between the new remote and the car. This involves complex things like starting the car 5-10 times and pressing buttons on the remote at the same time
Great; so next time I sneeze, I'll accidentally turn on the garbage disposal?

Seriously, though, it reminds me of the "house of the future" from one of those ubiquitous films they showed us in elementary school way back in the day.
Keep in mind, if you can do your startup as OSS, it changes the game.

For example, look at Monty and MySQL. He sold to Sun, he didn't like the direction they (now Oracle) took it, so he forked his original codebase, and kept developing it in a new company.

There may be contractual reasons why this is difficult, but there are huge advantages to releasing your code if you can.
Can also check out tulip[0] which attempts to be a standardization of sort to give a common core interface to various event loop libraries, and defines a full event loop and adds coroutines on top[1].

Since it's a tentative distillation of existing systems and has an extensive design document, it might be simpler than diving into Twisted.

The problem was probably that there were too many lines of text before an actual question. TL;DR Just IMHO. I read it and can't figure out exactly what you're asking....

I take it these are the illustrations in question?

https://github.com/mgcrea/angular-7min/tree/master/app/image...

Did you copy the files directly from the NYT site, or did you draw these graphics using the NYT illustrations as a model?

If it's the latter, then the Times is in the wrong, IMHO[IANAL]... The characters and poses are generic enough, so as long as you draw them from scratch, I don't think it should count as infringement.

But if you actually copied the files from NYT, then you should definitely take them down.
You're posting on HN though. You cannot have a payment solutions post on HN without Balanced showing up and waving their arms all over the damn place. I understand this is a YC site but it's really annoying and distracting.
No, claims about the "purpose of morality" are non-factual statements of personal preference in any context.

Well, you lost me there. When I choose not to lie to my family and friends, or when I deal with others justly, I am behaving that way (i.e., morally) because I want a good, long, happy life. It is not a matter of "personal preference." (It is absurd to say, "It is merely my personal preference to live well by honest means. Others may choose differently, and live well by dishonest means.") If I lied to my wife, or cheated a customer out of money, I would suffer, and that's an inescapable fact. (If you don't understand this point, just ask and I'll explain why.)

Show me someone, out here in reality that lives a good, long and happy life by lying to his spouse, cheating his customers, and stealing to top it off at night. Or even someone that just does one of the three, occasionally.

There's a categorical difference between logical claims (which are abstract and which are true or false independent of factual context), fact claims (which are, in principal at least, subject to objective validation as true or false), and value (including moral) claims (which are statements of personal preference).

Sigh. In relation to an individual person's life, for every is, this is an ought. For example, suppose that I am driving my car down the highway. There is a giant boulder in the middle of the road ahead. If I want to live, I ought to slow down and turn to avoid it. So much for Hume!
It runs on mogas, but avgas can be used if an additive is mixed in. This way if you find yourself needing to land at an airport that only pumps avgas, you're set as long as you have that additive with you in your baggage compartment.
Plague Inc. is a great example of a pay model I think works wonderfully.

If you want cheats or you want to skip content, you can pay. If you want advanced expansion packs, you can pay. But you don't have to.

The concept of a "free" game has been completely destroyed by garbage like this.
That is a movie-plot threat; you're being silly. Vehicles can stream audio and video and GPS tracking data to dispatchers who would know where and how the car got broken into and could dispatch security. The cars don't need windshields and can be hardened to making breaking in more difficult. With cameras and GPS tracking in all the other cars in the area, not to mention surveillance drones and police helicopters, getting away clean is likely to be tricky.
1. convenient to buy - online will probably win , i think. From my personal perspective it's more convenient now for many products.

2. don't get to physically interact - most products don't need physical interaction , just visual one. And there's haptic feedback tech if needed.

3. slow to arrive - online is improving(1 day shipping, maybe better for a fee) and will be good enough for most cases.

And remember:store depend on volumes to pay the rent and keep the lights on. Once online takes enough market share from them, they'll might collapse under their own weight. Some even start to see this happening in financial statements of big retailers.
Hm, in that case it might be more forgivable. But from the photo here: http://cdn.theatlantic.com/static/mt/assets/science/andforwh... -- (note the filename, ha) -- it appeared to be a streambed where they built the pond.
Neither Apple nor Microsoft allow you to plug-in your own sync adapter. What if you do not want to use CalDAV/CardDAV, but your own protocol?

For example, Samsung, Asus and Sony do exactly that. They provide their own sync adapters. Maybe that's more important to them (and their customers) than generic CalDAV/CardDAV.
Bipolar's a terrible disease -- around 30% of people with bipolar disorder attempt suicide at least once, and around 15% of people with it ultimately die from suicide.

So glad that Stephen Fry is still with us, and is continuing to speak out about mental illness so well.

What if you are building for which the market already exists. You are just being another option in the market. Then I kind of feel that ship fast's meaning changes a little bit. Because now you know you will be compared with the earlier service as soon as you launch.

Architecting an Enterprise Mobile App
It's tempting to think that he's wealthy and working and so this disclosure is easy to make, because it won't affect his work life.

In theory we have anti-discrimination laws here, but it's hard to prove that someone hasn't employed you because of your mental health problems. And actors usually need to be insured when they're doing a film. It's hard for some actors to get that insurance, expensive, because of past mental illness.

Stephen Fry (among others in some UK media) is doing good work at destigmatizing mental illness.

Giving money to charity does not make you a better person, but is a common act of better people. It is interesting that you defined a philosophy where a person should take moral credit for never outgrowing their infantile narcissism. But Steve Jobs is a strange moral model, since some people believe he was simply amoral. Personally, I think it is often the primitive, constant focus on self that prevents us from making the most of our lives.

Cool didn't know it was next update for windows 8, but still a good sign.

I do find the dichotomy of supporting "open" protocols to their service, but not from their operating system a bit odd. Though in that respect Apple isn't much different regarding imessage/facetime/etc...

I guess I would rather have my device/os support open standards over the service I might use them upon.
I don't really disagree. I don't think public urination is anything other than poor behavior at worst. I don't think prosecuting teenagers for making out is the slightest bit sensible. The ritual of rugby players running around the field bare ass naked after they score their first try is nothing but funny, even if a kid happens to see it. And especially funny if a puritanical adult happens to see it. Separating out things that are not abusive from things that are is a different problem than dealing with people who we know are abusive.

The number of people doing truly horrible things to children is not small in that you have to organize groups of people just to deal with the wake of psychological destruction they leave behind, and we are disturbingly soft on those perpetrators if you ask me. That we have convicted violent child rapists out there to register in the first place is a problem.

I happen to think part the reason for that is that we don't truly care that much about kids and they have no voice to protect themselves. There are those who say "it's not that big a deal" - respected people who are in positions of authority- cops, judges, attorneys. It is a big deal, though.

One important aspect of party rounds that this post leaves out: not everyone comes to the party at the same time.

Party rounds usually happen because investor A is interested and invites B and C, who invite D & E, and the situation repeats itself over days/weeks. All along the way, the founder is able to angle for better terms (and price!) as investors realize they have less and less leverage.

By the end of the party, it looks like a waste since investors D, L and R were the best fit and could have covered the whole round themselves. But, what brought investors D-R to the table was everyone who came before them. We can't go kicking them out of the round now! So, everyone takes a group picture (Techcrunch announcement) and makes it sound like they're so cool that they've always been partying together; nobody needs to know that most of the people showed up at the end and can't really remember the founder's name that they used to get in at the door.

tl;dr: One important aspect of the party round is that founders get better terms and less stress by signing investors as they arrive at the party. To the founder, that may be worth it.

Thanks for another great blog post Sam, keep 'em coming!

> What about people born into wealth, who inherited the money their parents or grandparents earned by doing something useful for society?

There isn't really any difference. The parents kept the money they earned, and (quite rationally) chose to spend it on giving the children an economic advantage (that the children, more often than not, could not have earned for themselves.) To tax the children is to tax the parents.
Just curious, what were the reasons you decided to move away from Pivotal? We're looking for a new project management system and JIRA is one we've been looking at, but on first look, it does seem like information overload.
Hopefully this will bring the issue of mental health back to the fore AND make sure that funding for the appropriate NHS and outpatient services does not get tampered with.
Cool. How would such things work when it came to a prosthetic leg, for example? Suppose you built a robotic leg with, say, 80 or 100 actuators all working together. Could you train such a device to work on thought, mimicking a real leg, or is that out of the scope of what you're talking about?
I'm not expecting it to be free but FreedomPop's latest 3G/4G hotspot is quite a good deal if you want a mobile hotspot around but you don't really need to use it often.

For $3.99/mo you get 500MB on the Sprint 3G/4G network and an additional $3.49/mo lets you roll over up to 500MB of unused data each month the thing is just sitting there unused. Yes 4G coverage is minimal nationwide, and I'd choose Verizon over Sprint given the choice, but for probably under $100/year my kids now have all the internet access they need for car trips. Additional GB are $20 if you use up what you've accumulated.

I have bipolar and ADHD. I've been speaking on it at tech conferences this year [1]. Recently we started devpressed.com [2], a forum where the tech community can talk about depression.

We need to destigmatize mental illness so that our friends and coworkers aren't ashamed to ask for help. There are a lot more people going through this than you think. If you're struggling, and don't have anyone to talk to, check out devpressed, or contact me.

Here's my (decidedly cynical, I know) take on this:

Sam's model makes sense if the investors actually care about the product and are able to at least somewhat judge & shape it.

If, on the other hand, funding startups is a lottery for the big payout item, party rounds make sense for investors. And the same goes for the company side - if you just hope for the big acquisition, at first glance guidance matters less than runway.
Seconded. I will use this immediately.

I don't even want to imagine a day Stephen Fry isn't around. What a horrible, horrible void there would be where he stood.

The insidiousness of this disease is in how well it hides itself in plain sight in many cases. And how terrifyingly easy it is to fall to it.

He said there is "no reason" for someone wanting to take their own life.

"There is no 'why', it's not the right question. There's no reason. If there were a reason for it, you could reason someone out of it, and you could tell them why they shouldn't take their own life," he said.

Glad to see a major figure going public about his struggle with mental illness. Though I don't think that those with a "celebrity status" should be pressured into sharing this information, let alone expected to do so, it's always comforting for me to see people slowly start to release their stigmas with discussing mental illness, especially on a personal level. As someone who has suffered from mental illness, it would do so much to be able to talk to others without worrying about the reactions and dismissal that comes from so many people I've encountered.

In the interests of correctness, that's a (rather common) misunderstanding of the phrase "immaculate conception".

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immaculate_Conception

"The Immaculate Conception should not be confused with the perpetual virginity of Mary or the virgin birth of Jesus; it refers to the conception of Mary by her mother, Saint Anne."
My fault, I stand corrected.

> A real-time, node-based video effects compositor for the web built with HTML5, Javascript and WebGL

I for one am really impressed. While I'm not up to date with node.js, WebGL (or even HTML5 tbh), the boundaries that people keep pushing with web technologies is pretty wild.

EDIT: Reading more, I'm not sure if I am proud or embarrassed about my narrow focus over the last few years. I'm proud that I'm making a good living due to it, but disappointed that I haven't been able play with these things. Reading about WebGL [1], I feel like there is a new world to explore (for web programming).

Ah you got my 99¢. Nice idea but needs some built in alarms! If you don't have anything in your iTunes library there's no sound, it doesn't even beep.
You're keeping the WWAN/WiFi interfaces awake, which burns a significant amount of battery, just because you want to gather data from the user.

On top of that, burning 2% overhead on UIEvent handling (which also impacts battery).

What a waste for something that users don't actually want you to be doing in the first place.
So you have a device that can open random car doors in seconds? Do you know where to get one? Do you know anyone who has one?

No, and I haven't claimed to do so. You're just setting up straw-men and attacking them now, and I don't know for what purpose. I've already said that I was talking in terms of a general sentiment that I think I detected in TFA, and not the specifics of this batch of incidents.

Help Scale Rescale (YC W12)
We are a team of eight building a simulation platform for engineers (of the non-software variety) to help them design their products faster. Our software has been used by a commercial spaceflight company to design rockets so you really do have an opportunity to make a dent in the universe here.

We are looking for a well-rounded software engineer to help us get things done quicker. You'll get a chance to learn more about the processes and tools that engineers and scientists use to build products and how high performance computing power in the cloud can revolutionize this design cycle. Simulation is a $40b market and used across a wide range of industries including aerospace, oil & gas exploration, and life sciences so there are a lot of interesting domains to learn about here.

As an early hire, you'll have the opportunity to make a meaningful impact in everything from our development process to our tech stack decisions.

We are well funded and offer a competitive salary with matching stock options. We are located in the SOMA district of San Francisco close to BART and Muni.

==========

Required:

• BS in Computer Science or equivalent

• Solid developer with experience building scalable and maintainable systems

• Opinionated about the art of building software but not a jerk about it

• Familiarity with cloud computing architecture, particularly AWS

Nice to Have:

• Experience in any of the following languages and frameworks (the more the better): Java, Hadoop, Python, Django, Knockout, Javascript

• Experience scaling and tuning both relational and non-relational databases

• Experience with HPC, particularly MPI

==========
