Stop complaining about vc, or culture; Canadians regularly blow billions on prospective mining companies on tsx-v. which never report any revenue.

Alberta spearheaded a funding model in the oil patch in the 90s, which is now accessible to the other provinces, which I believe could be useful in the tech sector. The capital pool company, http://www.tmx.com/en/listings/listing_with_us/ways/capital_...

We get a bunch of proven tech execs together, they issue shares, then they have 24 months to go find something worth buying and growing.

So instead of serial entrepreneurs, I believe we could also foster midlevel serial ceo's for instance I would buy stock in a jaquesm, pg or whoever, headed shell company to go and buy out some up and coming tech.

At least I think you could kickstart building a company out of aquihiring zombie startups. I would do this but I'm a no-name.
Torture Porn - A splatter film or gore film is a sub-genre of horror film that deliberately focuses on graphic portrayals of gore and graphic violence[1]

Some are even torture porn with explicitly detailed and violent rape scenes[2]. These are also planned to be banned if I am not mistaken.[3]

Grunt is just generally a helpful little task runner and good for automating many things in general web development - running tests, concatenation / minification, linting, HTML / CSS / JS preprocessing and so on, if that floats your boat. It really is worth giving it a go.
I was just trying to point out some of the big name startups that came from the Waterloo area (Disclosure: I am part of BufferBox and live in KW).
I think this looks really cool, but I have a smartthing. I'd be interested to see this encompassed by their system, because one device does not a secure home make. But by itself I'd have to buy one for every room and angle to make me feel actually secure.

> In either case post to HN and as many other places as you can that are relevant to make sure their status as litigious wankers is recorded as far and wide as possible ;-)

While the idea of getting the word out there that these people are idiots is amiable, it's not the best idea legally. Now they can prove that you saw their original email and probably have scumbag lawyers who can use this post in other ridiculous ways (claim it proves malicious intent, for instance... no idea what they'd actually do).
> This study does not show that cocaine has a negligible effect. It shows that cocaine has a less than poverty effect for children that make it to term. Big, big difference.

You're right, I overstated my claim. The effect is negligible with respect to the effects of poverty.

> Cocaine causes increased rates of premature birth

The studies you've linked do not support your statement. The studies say that cocaine use is associated with, not that cocaine is the cause.

re: [1] I never disputed that PT infants have developmental problems.

re: [2] "Studies revealed that in most domains, the neurobiological effects of PCE play a subtle role, with effects no greater than other known teratogens or environmental factors. Associations between PCE and negative developmental outcomes were typically attenuated when models included conditions that commonly co-occur with PCE (eg. tobacco or alcohol exposure, malnutrition, poor quality of care)." and "Preconception and prenatal cocaine use is commonly associated with poor pregnancy outcomes with psychosocial, behavioral, and risk factors, such as poverty, poor nutrition, stress, depression, physical abuse, lake[sic] of social support, and sexually transmitted infection. Illicit drug use during pregnancy is a major risk factor for maternal morbidity and neonatal complications."

re: [3] "Cocaine use during pregnancy was associated with significantly higher odds of preterm birth"

re: [4] "Prenatal cocaine exposure is significantly associated with preterm birth, low birthweight, and small for gestational age infants."
Actually there is better and worse.

Verbs/functions are easier to compose and recompose; they're easier to reason about (there is no "state" in verbs; verbs are declarative.)

Nouns (assume: with behavior; not just data -- otherwise you are in FP-land again) are harder to compose and recompose, harder to reason about (state transitions).

Consider calculating age. Assume general FP and general OOP ways of solving the problem. Then:

ageOf(p)...
...ageOf() can potentially be applied (or modified to apply) to different value types.
...self-evidently does not mutate p or cause a state transition (assuming FP).

p.ageOf()
...can only be applied to value types/classes that support that operation.
...may or may not mutate p/cause a state transition of p.

One is much easier to reason about and reapply when the world changes.
Yes, I must be a real luddite... That's why I'm on HN. because I think technology is really awful. Also, thanks for letting me know when the first aircraft was invented. Since I consider the concept of bending time and space dangerous, I must not know anything about mechanized flight.
The 4.5" 1280x720 screen kills it.

It needs to have at least 5" 1920x1080 to display 1080p content without destroying information and to match or exceed the HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S4 (and S5 since they ship in 2014).

And preferably non-Pentile AMOLED.

And also removable battery and one or more SD/micro-SD slots.

It's a pity since everything else seems great.

Yea, what kind of display made since 2005 doesn't support hdmi (note: dvi -> hdmi is really easy and readily available)? Analog video died in 2001, and only persists in corporate America, and it is so horribly outdated broken and crappy I can't fathom wasting development effort to get a vga port or adapter working.

> I assume that there isn't a big red light on the front, because if an intruder is there then that will give away the fact that they are being recorded.

Most surveillance cameras DO have a light when they're on. An intruder may recognize a security camera, realize it's recording, and leave. Would you rather have a burglar steal possessions from your home or be deterred from the presence of a camera? (a possible problem with the Canary is it doesn't look like a camera so regardless of light an intruder may ignore it)

That said, burglars are probably wearing some sort of mask obscuring their face, so neither scenario may make a difference. What really matters is monitoring in real-time and receiving alerts of suspicious activity and acting upon it.
The cost of OS is zero when acquiring a new computer through a retail outlet, and zero only for Linux users when acquiring computers through donations, salvage, etc.
Then it's not so surprising, that going with extra high end non common device before releasing one available for common users didn't attract investors. It looks very risky.

Canonical had to start with practical and common device, before going into super experimental one. And with resources from the first, go for more experiments.
Uh, no.

Those are the monitors HP aims at the enterprise. A lot of them have VGA only, and none of them have HDMI.

So in my organization, we have thousands of monitors that would require an adapter at minimum and maybe a couple dozen floating around that were special ordered one-offs that might have HDMI built-in.
This is something the majority of HN has absolutely no experience with, so they either a) try to relate it to the tech industry (and fail, see most of the terrible analogies in this thread), or b) reduce it to the most blackest and whitest of situations (see everyone here saying that outlawing pictures of rape is the death of free speech.)

Of course, if 1 in 6 men were victims of an attempted or completed rape, and if 9 out of 10 victims of rape were men,[0] I'm sure the conversations here would be very different.

The article suggests interrupt load is the major issue, although doesn't really say enough to inform us. A 12.5ms buffer means potentially just 80 wakeups/sec. They don't mention whether they use multiple hardware queues or if all interrupts hit a single core.

Engadget Review - http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/22/leap-motion-controller-re...
RethinkDB has an API that's very capable of doing CRUD operations (and a lot more). Probably the only way it could not fill your CRUD needs is if you didn't like the ways you can access it. We have official drivers for Python, Ruby and Javascript and community drivers for a whole bunch of other languages.
I would provide the counterexample of tech coexisting with scifi, that crude hang gliders were well within the technological reach of the ancients... however centuries of daydreaming about mechanical flapping bird wings kept them solidly on the ground.

Its entirely possible "something" going FTL will eventually happen. For some peculiar value of "something" and some peculiar value of FTL. However, it will probably resemble stereotypical deus ex machina sci fi reimaginings of classic WWII battleship and aircraft carrier movies about as closely as a modern helicopter resembles a really big hummingbird.

Unfortunately, much like flight, preconceived notions will probably hold back R+D in FTL until long past its possible start. Possibly if we'd just focus on "something else" then in 2013 we'd already be 50 years into practical FTL deployment.
Slow down there.

How to A/B Test Your App Screenshots to Increase Downloads
I don't think that is true. Plenty of companies are sued without notice for patent infringement. It's not generally the case that you have to notify the parties to a suit before initiating it.
This is like 50 steps ahead of anything that's actually happening, but I have to wonder what the potential destructive power of a warp-drive style FTL drive is. If you can create a spacetime distortion strong enough to move a ship around at FTL speeds, what happens when that distortion gets anywhere near the Earth? Will it cause some sort of total destruction to an enormous area? Change the orbit of the moon, the earth, asteroids? It would have a big effect on how any ships with such a drive are used. It could be sort of like SSBNs, where only major governments have them, and they only allow extremely senior and trusted people to operate them.

Seriously, how exactly does crowdfunding 'waste' more money than buying something - you have to pay taxes of everything you buy anyway. You can at best argue that it's a 'waste' if we don't hit the target and no phone is produced.

The reality is that the Phone industry isn't incentivised to build products like Ubuntu Edge. It's a limited run, high-end product rather than mass-volume. In that context coming up with interesting ideas and then testing whether there's interest with crowdfunding is completely appropriate.

ps I work for Canonical so obviously I'm biased.
I think everyone understands what Canonical is trying to do. They just question whether it's a good idea. It's very difficult to make the best phone on the first try. It adds a lot of project risk to Ubuntu for mobile devices to try.

On top of that, if you don't have OEM launch partners for phones, maybe you shouldn't be doing phones. If the carriers really want you, they will make the channel commitments that the OEMs need to green-light a phone.
LOL you got me. More specifically, proof of any example in the general category of one, and a solution to the other. Mix and match with the above how you'd like.

I have no idea why they did this; the device reminds me of Apple's new Mac Pro and presentation. I'm reminded of how awful that was received too. The panels could be condensed to two and then stacked. "One single, beautiful device." One horrible interface; no thanks.

We tried a number of hosting companies before settling on OVH including the premium dedicated companies. They do have the occasional hiccup but overall we have been very impressed with the pricing and the support both reactive and proactive.

Yeah, it would be worth it if you actually got to experience anything besides instantaneous death. Also, what makes you think there would be no danger to the surrounding system? Bending space and time within our own solar system sounds like a good way to mess up a pretty intricate balance. Of course, everyone else on HN can read the source code of the universe so they know how impossible any of that is...
Just wanted to point out that I was one of those who did not complete the course. Because signup was so far away (3+months IIRC) from course start I overestimated the free time I would have.

NoSQL Databases, why we should use, and which one we should choose
IANAL, but it seems to me like browsers are violating their terms of use, too:

Any access to or use of craigslist to design, develop, test, update, operate, modify, maintain, support, market, advertise, distribute or otherwise make available any program, application or service (including, without limitation, any device, technology, product, computer program, mobile device application, website, or mechanical or personal service) that enables or provides access to, use of, operation of or interoperation with craigslist (including, without limitation, to access content, post content, cross-post content, re-post content, respond or reply to content, verify content, transmit content, create accounts, verify accounts, use accounts, circumvent and/or automate technological security measures or restrictions, or flag content) is prohibited.

I don't believe they can (or perhaps "should be allowed to") stop people from accessing their site via http (which is a protocol or api). Either way, it feels the same to me; I think it's relevant.

Seriously, how exactly does crowdfunding 'waste' more money than buying something - you have to pay taxes of everything you buy anyway.

Unless I misunderstood something, crowdfunding (in current form) has low effective outcome, since it's taxed as presales (which axes the raised funds significantly). I think it's a bit weird, since in essence this is fundraising, and not presales, but this how it works for some reason. Investment doesn't work the same way, and the input can be used for the intended purpose much more effectively.
The fact that they don't provide details probably means that the processor hasn't been announced yet. Presumably it will be faster than a Snapdragon MSM8974. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7082/snapdragon-800-msm8974-pe...
>The idea didn't violate any known physics.

the idea that space expansion generates effect that looks like FTL in fixed space model doesn't violate any known physics - just look at the highly red-shifted galaxies.

>The fact that we achieved sufficient advances in circuit miniaturization and battery technology to build a hand-held smartphone does not in any way imply that we'll be able to build a warp drive for a spacecraft.

we just need sufficiently advance (increase) energy production and learn to focus it so that the density in a given volume will reach the "mass density of black hole multiplied by c-square" - that will be a good start to manage the shape of the spacetime
Am I missing something? How is this phone any different from say Google Nexus 4, or Samsung Galaxy S4? E.g. Google Nexus 4 has almost the same specs other than RAM, Storage and Dual LTE. But it is only for $300.

More specifically, how does the Formula 1 analogy fit in? This phone is priced about the same as iPhone, Samsung Galaxy and has almost the same specs.

I would assume many/most of those emigrated people are in Scandinavia. It is a bit smaller step than moving to USA in the 19th century... (And much easier to move back, when the economy allows it.)

A more relevant parallel might be many internal moves in big countries to industrial areas, when industrialisation started.
HTML5 is also supported. From http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/:

"Native or HTML5, your choice

We recognize HTML5 as a core Internet technology often used to develop cross-platform apps. As such, the Ubuntu toolkit offers the flexibility to support HTML5 too. It’s your choice to decide whether you want to go native with QML and the best Ubuntu integration or HTML5 and less integration via Unity webapps."
What I'm pointing out is the mistake people make extrapolating from very few data points about the space of possibilities now and in the near future in a long tail of possibilities for 3D printing.

Per your example, It may very well be that nothing in the long tail of things to make with a 3D printer will appeal to you right now, and not for a long time. You may very well be a late adopter. But that doesn't mean that the entire space is useless, and of all the possibilities of things to 3D print, none of them will be useful or appealing to you personally. However, it will SEEM that way to you, since, by nature of a long tail, only a sliver of it appeals to you. Until that sliver gets discovered, by yourself or someone with more imagination, it's easy to jump to the conclusion that nothing will be appealing, given the samples you've seen so far.
You don't even need phantomjs, really. You can use python + webkitgtk+ through the gobject bindings. The problem with phantomjs is that it's using an old version of webkit from an old version of qtwebkit from qt 4.8, whenever that was released. By comparison, webkitgtk+ can be compiled from upstream webkit whenever you please.

If you insist on controlling webkit through javascript, you can use gnome-seedjs. But this is problematic/annoying because there's no commonjs implementation yet.. in phantomjs you can require() node modules in the outside context. Not so much in gnome-seedjs..

Also, X means it's not actually headless, even if you're using xserver-xorg-video-dummy or xvfb. For this reason, phantomjs got rid of the X requirement a number of versions ago.
