Author here. Thanks for all of the comments it's been fun watching the dialog unfold!

A few notes:

This solution will, in most cases, be part of a broader "responsive" strategy. Would all content from larger contexts get delivered to a mobile device? Shouldn't! But that's not this library's responsibility.

The library is an abstraction of responsiveness, for lack of better term. intention.js creates a framework for describing thresholds (mobile-phone) on an axis (width) and how they change. The thresholds and axes described here and in the documentation are not part of intention.js, they're an implementation of common responsive concerns.

The separation between presentation and content is entirely up to the developer or designer implementing the library. For example, you may decide to implement the application of grid specific classes on width-context change (presentation). But maybe you only care about swapping high res images out for the smaller ones on high speed connections or devices that have high res displays (content). Or a combination of both presentation and content: you would like to place a section of the page somewhere else in the evening, a portal to long form articles. you get the idea...

Going forward I'm looking into creating generators for implementations of intention.js for common responsive concerns (variety of widths, touch, etc.). Removing the dependencies on jquery and underscore. More documentation! And etc.

There are a few misconceptions about money here.

- QE is about creating new money. The buying of loans is merely a way to distribute it; instead of just giving the money away, the central banks buys an asset (any asset would do) so nobody gets an unfair advantage through distributing the new money.

- all loans can be repaid. At the end, people would just own dollar bills which in turn don't depend on anything else for their value.

- a lot of the confusion around money comes from confusing different sorts of money as being the same thing. We commonly use two sorts of money: Base money (e.g. dollar bills) that depend on nothing. This form of money can only be (legally) created and destroyed by the central bank. The second form of money is Bank money which is a loan of Base money. THis form of money can be created or destroyed by many individuals and banks.

- As an example of Base money vs Bank money, when I pay $100 into a bank, I have really loaned the money to the bank - it owes me $100. Yet I can "spend" this loan with my bank card and by goods from a shop, now the shop is owed $100 by the bank. The loan is a form of money; I really did have some Bank money. But the original $100 bills were sat in the bank vault, and they are definitely still (Base) money.
So you do design and production (is HTML/CSS and a bit of JS really coding?), great! I have a feeling most web designers are in that boat, though I've never worked in that field before. Not all designers are web designers though.
Like with the prescient Ladies' Home Journal predictions, much of what hasn't happened isn't so much that we couldn't do it, but that we can do it and find it uninteresting or inconvenient after all (like moon colonies: doable, just not much point given the cost involved vs benefits).
I would be willing to consider the International Space Station an equivalent of the Moon colonies, as it serves much the same purpose; research and training, but is more convenient.

Switching to colemak has helped to alleviate a lot of the wrist pains I was having for a while. http://colemak.com/
I would buy that. I have very large hands and this keyboard is the most comfortable one I have ever used by far. I have a good mechanical keyboard which caused me nothing but pain.

I used to have corrective glasses that did what he described. I can't remember what the type of lens was called, and Google is being unhelpful. But walking in and out of shade was definitely a bit annoying because it kept repolarizing.

> ✗ Moving sidewalks (do airport conveyors count?)

I'd say so. Open question: how would we put benches on moving sidewalks?

P.S. I am amused you didn't include hovercars.
No. A keyboard should have keys for typing and nothing more. Do one thing and do it well.
I disagree with the conspiracy idea, but from what I've seen the bar should be pretty low for the intelligence of the population (at least in this area). Most of the people I know ignore pretty much everything that has been going on with snowden and as for the SEA, they would probably thing it was part of the Syrian government.

An undergraduate math education is more than enough to teach the current high school math curriculum.

From my point of view though, if my statement above is true, that is very sad. As I don't think it should be. The math curriculum is horribly deficient. But software doesn't seem to be the answer to fixing the curriculum.

This page kind of explains it:

The middle image is how I used to be. My fixed desk was too high (even with my chair at maximum height) and so my arm/wrist was bent up.

I then got a height-adjustable desk and a monitor stand, and I made my setup more like the top image. However, my monitor is quite a bit higher that what is shown in that first image. I look straight ahead and don't tilt my head down.
Why Ballmer had to go
You're right we're speaking a bit tangentially. Hadn't heard of the Friis argument that frequency doesn't matter as long as antennas on RX and TX are the same. I'm not sure I understand it yet.

Nevertheless, let's get some numbers on the page to see if I'm misunderstanding the subject.

Here's a rough link budget with some estimates

TX/RX antenna gain is around 0dBi (seems reasonable [1])
TX power = 16mW = 12dBm [2]
RX sensitivity = -90dBm (personally, better than -100dBm seems aggressive)

Roughly, our link budget formula can be...
Path loss = TX power + TX gain + RX gain - Rx power [3]
Path loss = 102dB

Ideal free space loss over 1km at 900MHz is around 91dB [4]. Therefore, we have about 10dB margin in our link budget to transmit 1km. We also have a few dB margin in the antenna and receive sensitivity estimate.

So when did they start actually have these things in stock? I know a few months ago whenever I'd check they were unavailable.

With this price reduction, I guess Apple should cancel their 5S/5C event, no need since the phones will flop due to everyone with their shiny Nexus 4's.

You can pause it via scrolling or swiping. Its as fast as the Twitter stream is. I thought about mechanisms for slowing it down, but haven't implemented any.
In that case this is no worse than stealing a cookie for a site which required 2FA, which presumably requires local access.
I'm on this plan, and can definitely recommend it. Also, enabling LTE on the Nexus 4 is very, very easy if you're in a T-Mobile LTE area.

> "Be skeptical. But when you get proof, accept proof."

A useful article, but one that perpetuates a myth about science -- that theories are eventually either conclusively proven or disproven, as they are in mathematics. In science, because its theories are about reality, theories can be conclusively disproven (falsified), but they cannot ever be proven true once and for all. Instead, they remain potentially falsifiable by new evidence. Philosopher David Hume aptly summarized this precept by saying, "No amount of observations of white swans can allow the inference that all swans are white, but the observation of a single black swan is sufficient to refute that conclusion."

I say this because any number of times in the history of science, an established theory, one that people believed to be beyond question, was replaced by a better theory, one that explained more with fewer axioms, or that addressed new observations that invalidated the original theory. Examples include:

* The Ptolemaic solar system theory that asserted that the earth was motionless at the center of the solar system, orbited by the sun and planets. This theory was replaced about the time of Galileo by the heliocentric theory.

* The idea that disease was caused by bad air, an idea from which we get the words "miasma" and "malaria". This theory was eventually replaced by the germ theory.

* The Phlogiston theory. Phlogiston was believed to be a flammable essence that was consumed or "dephlogisticated" when things burned. We now know that combustion is caused by high temperature and a mixture of fuel and oxidizer, and there is no phlogiston.

* The ether theory, the idea that light waves propagated through a luminiferous ether, not unlike water waves in water. This idea was replaced by relativity theory, which does away with the need for a propagation medium for light.

Many scientific theories are well-supported and very likely to be true, but none of them ever becomes absolutely true, beyond refutation.

This perpetual falsifiability idea separates empirical science from mathematics. In mathematics, once formally proven, an idea is placed beyond refutation. In science, this is never true.
If there is pain involved with one option, then it's logical to assume that time will change. When I do get wrist pain, it does cut into how I use my time.

High time to buy a N4
The simplest way to improve efficiency would be to crack down on end of life care abuses. However the population that benefits, senior citizens, is one of the most entrenched and powerful political lobbying groups in the US.

There is something bizarre about the American psyche that leads us to overspend on end of life care. It makes no sense. Countries like France and Canada don't allow it and get huge efficiency gains b/c of it.

Americans are also uniquely litigious. We expect doctors to be perfect and demand extreme degrees of training and accountability. The minute the smallest mistake is make (the kind which most of us make dozens of times per day in our normal jobs) we expect the legal system to assist us with revenge and remuneration. This not only ads tremendous cost but drives up the quality of doctors to the point where there are barely enough people qualified to go through medical training. Top tier med schools typically over admit and have to weed out a few students each year. Still others burn out b/c they could not handle the rigor.

It would make sense for us to significantly lower the bar on physician quality and for the government to stop providing reimbursement for much of the costly end of life care that is now routine... but those solutions will never fly.

Most of the critiques about our system (and this one, disguised as a plea for efficiency) are complaints about what has happened prices after the market has responded to all the incentives, psychologies, laws, etc. This leads to the proposed solutions usually being variations on price controls.

Americans want to be fat, we want to smoke, we want to have our "insurance" pay $200K for our last week of life hooked up to a dozen machines while our semi-estranged families arrange time off work to fly in and not feel too bad about themselves for being absent from our lives..., and we want to be able to file a lawsuit if a 1 in 100 mistake occurs. These are the privileges that we pay top dollar for.

Asimov's own biases shine through pretty clearly in the initial bit:

One thought that occurs to me is that men will continue to withdraw from nature in order to create an environment that will suit them better. By 2014, electroluminescent panels will be in common use. Ceilings and walls will glow softly, and in a variety of colors that will change at the touch of a push button.

Windows need be no more than an archaic touch, and even when present will be polarized to block out the harsh sunlight. The degree of opacity of the glass may even be made to alter automatically in accordance with the intensity of the light falling upon it.

He was, rather famously, an acrophobe who disliked heights and open spaces and never flew when he could help it, so apparently he'd prefer a future without windows and sunlight.

There is an underground house at the fair which is a sign of the future. if its windows are not polarized, they can nevertheless alter the "scenery" by changes in lighting. Suburban houses underground, with easily controlled temperature, free from the vicissitudes of weather, with air cleaned and light controlled, should be fairly common. At the New York World's Fair of 2014, General Motors' "Futurama" may well display vistas of underground cities complete with light- forced vegetable gardens. The surface, G.M. will argue, will be given over to large-scale agriculture, grazing and parklands, with less space wasted on actual human occupancy.

This depiction of life pretty much exactly mirrors the completely walled-in life of The Caves of Steel, which many readers found dystopian, but for him was more of a utopia.

Ask HN: Raising Money Outside of an Accelerator
HN,

I have what people like to jokingly call 'a good problem'. My web application usage has surged over the past few months to the point where I'm running out of money. My website is making some money, but not enough to cover all of the bills. Usage has steadily gone up and most recently spiked causing my funds to disappear fast. I know a lot of people think that their idea is the next big thing and what not but I really feel like my product has the chance to make decent money down the road. I need to be dedicating all of my time to it to actually get it into the black and actually churning a profit. I know at the current rate I will not have enough funds to last until the next batch of YC applications.

So I ask you, HN, are there other straight-forward alternatives for a single founder to raise capital outside of startup accelerators? If anyone could at least point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time.

Yeah, this is my default posture. Something tells me a lot of this RSI nonsense is due to bad technique.

I code, game on a standard keyboard, no issues - don't get me wrong, I've had RSI before, but it was down to technique, posture.
Wait, so you're not using the additional TI power amp?

Well shit... Now you have my attention. I obviously missed something if I was off by two orders of magnitude. I'll take a closer look when I have some more time.

In the meantime, I would strongly suggest adding as many technical details to the kickstarter page as you can (output power, for starters. A (rough) schematic would be fantastic).

Edit: Actually, do you have any specs on the antennas you've tested?
Best value of well known brands perhaps. You get various Chinese brand ~5" phones with 1920x1080 resolution, 16GB ROM for that price or less now. And those are typicall dual sim, and take 32GB SD-cards too.

Build quality for most of them are probably not as quite high as the Nexus 4, but the one I have at least is very well built.
The parallel I was making is that a numerical term invalidated an equation, rendered it meaningless, not that the circumstances were identical.

Not to mention, most office space is pre-constructed out of snap-to-fit desk/cubicle walls. The chance of me getting a height adjustable desk is between zero and a very small number.

If you buy this phone, get a case for it. The thing slides off of pretty much anything, including apparently flat counter tops. Screen replacements are $130 and take 2 weeks. You won't get the awesome feel of the beveled edges, or the nice solid feeling of a thin but reasonably weighted piece of equipment, but definitely get a case lest you watch in horror as your shiny new phone crashes onto your hard tile bathroom floor after sliding off the granite counter top like a magical hovercraft.

Smart glass exists (Transitions lenses), as do radioactive batteries (using beta-decay by a company called BetaBatt, and RTGs used by NASA).

Is there a place to download coursera videos like you can with Udacity? I'm really interested in the Scala course, but it just kind of sucks that it can only be taken during a certain time frame. I've been working my way through Programming in Scala, but the course seems like it'd be a great compliment for understanding the "functional" style of programming.

As it is now, I feel I'm simply a compiler which translates my imperative Python background into Scala syntax.
Wireless charging was one of the reasons why I got a Nexus 4. It's a shame the stock wireless charger is so terribly designed though (no adhesion and unnecessary angle). Judging by the reviews it's gotten, looks like I'm not the only one who hates it.
