UPS already has drones, they are called people, and they work pretty well.

UPS will go to a driverless (or remote-controlled) truck with a human in it to run packages to doors before they do a truck (human-driven or otherwise) with drones launching from it.
The article seemed to suggest there was a "girls section" and that everything else was the boys section. To my eyes and I assumed every sane person, it appears there is a "dolls section" and then every other section. The dolls section isn't exclusive to just girls and the rest of the toy store certainly isn't exclusive to just boys.

Similarly with what the author called the "girls games" section of the games area. It is my understanding that the games are organised into genres. The "cutesy" section isn't exclusive to just girls and the rest of the video games aren't exclusive to just boys.

Tight regulation in F1 and other racing forms keeps the focus on the driver, not the car.

F1 has always been about the car, and the most heralded of driver in one car often becomes completely humdrum in another, and vice versa. Tight regulations simply change the parameters that the car makers have to optimize, and ultimately came about because without continually restricting the engineering, the cars were becoming impossibly fast.

The only series that are really about the driver have identical cars. I believe that is how the Formula E thing is planned, for instance, at least to begin.

Andrew came to see us the other day and chat about their vision for Linux Voice. They know what they are doing and all have a solid publishing background so we can't wait to see how it turns out.

It's a really refreshing approach and they are committed to giving back to the FOSS community from the profits generated by it. I also really like that they plan to release the content for other uses after a brief embargo.
And? so what? who wants AAAA.com? and if you do you probably have some other domains to choose.

Because if you shop locally, more of your money stays in your community, resulting in healthier local economies. Instead of your dollar spent at Walmart getting cut up and sent to Madison Avenue and Beijing, it goes to the local PR agency and a local cut-and-sew factory that you may not have even known existed.

Also, those better prices are due to the fact that Walmart's buying power means that they tell the supplier how much they will pay for the item, and leave it to the supplier to figure out how they can manufacture it and still make a profit. You can imagine the corners the supplier needs to cut to make that happen.

Ask HN: How possible is to create your own currency?
So, suddenly Bitcoin is a currency. But doesn't that mean someone just decided to "create" money?
Isn't that illegal? After all you're just making 0's and 1's out of nothing.
In relation to my question, what about bitcoin mining? You get some machines to mine for them, which is basically making bitcoin out of thin air. (i may be wrong, i don't know how mining works)

Slightly off topic, the Pinterest-style layout (not horizontally-aligned) is annoying. It's difficult to read.

Other than that, congrats! IntelliJ is the only IDE that keeps surprising me in positive ways (like, "OMG, it can do that?")

"some savings" says the parent. A diminishing return is still a return.
I think so. It's still the main domain and probably the only tld that should exist (outside of .org and .gov) to avoid confusion. Even before the most recent additions of tlds .com maintained its dominance with .co, .name, .info, .biz, etc. Personally I would trust an entity with a .com for a given domain name (even over .net). .menu, .uno? Wtf... ridiculous.
I'm all for Linux, but this won't happen. The people who leave XP due to running out of paid support options will find no comfort in Linux. Commercial support is too fragmented and not as discoverable as on Windows. People who do not care will stay on XP still. Companies will upgrade to Windows 8, or perhaps 7. I don't see a big demographic switching to Linux right now.
> It's no longer about best car + best driver.

It already wasn't about best car 15 years ago, or in the 90s for that matter. Turbos were banned in 1989 for instance.
The updated Gradle support and Presentation mode are my reasons for upgrading. This may be the last release for me as I am starting to use Go more instead of Java.
Not even close. Intellij is more of a platform than just a Java IDE these days. They're busy at work on Kotlin, and still have all the other languages and frameworks to work on.

Thanks for posting this. It wasn't meant to be a snarky comment, but I did leave out some basic assumptions which I thought were obvious. "Usually" the larger the screen the further away most people will sit from there screen. Right now, I'm on a 21" monitor sitting about 3'2" (already out of the 2'6" for added benefit of a 4K screen if you take this chart as gospel) from the screen. If I went up to a 28" monitor, I would most likely move it back at least 6" so that I don't have to move my head and eyes around too much. That would put the screen about 3'8" from me which is within the range of full benefit of 1080p but outside the range of 4K for this size and viewing distance.
CAFE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_Average_Fuel_Economy) is the reason more new cars are being produced with small turbocharged engines. Manufacturers are able to get the same power from a small turbocharged engine with less fuel consumption through the use of direct injection, variable valve timing and lift control, and better engine controls/sensors.

Sadly the article just quotes a Verge article (http://www.theverge.com/2013/12/3/5169878/ups-is-researching...) which itself just quotes some anonymous people at UPS, and then has a couple of people's reactions to the rumors. So not very interesting.

I guess the Techcrunch article adds some predictable jokes and a meme illustration, leaving us to ponder the idea of what our grandparents would think about this article--premise, illustration, and all. Or better yet, the idea of our grandparents being shown this article in 1963 by some future-man. The notion of a future flying delivery robot would have been passe--it's the illustration that would have blown their minds.

This is annoying. If anything because "too girly" boys can't use it anymore too. For example, the formally boys names of Alexis and Evelyn. Girls started to outnumber boys with that name and suddenly you couldn't give your boy a "girl's name."

I like this model, and hope the magazine catches on. Hopefully it will help provide one more step in figuring out how to help compensate people who do FOSS for their efforts.

Vaguely related: A thought I've been having lately is that instead of micro payments being a direct monetary thing, why not team up with ISPs, hosting providers, etc, and have an organization a "points" system similar to loyalty programs. Points can then be used to provide a discounts on hosting and bandwidth, and distributed both individually by people and by projects to contributors. This helps reduce some of the friction in transactions...

The "defending sensitive locations" thing doesn't make any sense -- you can just put in the clutch or shift your carbomb into neutral and let your inertia carry you from anywhere this could be realistically be deployed right into the sensitive location.

This is clearly an expensive replacement for a spike strip, something you can deploy to stop a vehicle from fleeing or travelling a long distance, not a short one.

It's in the text. "More programmers to care for". The programmer in the text is male, not gender neutral. The picture shows a model performing intimate function (most would consider a hug and a touch on the chest intimate) on a male doing white-collar work.

Unless you are specifically set on splitting hairs, there isn't much to argue about here.

I can't find this information anywhere in the article, where are you getting this from?

And even if this were they case, the article also states "I am inclined to believe that this particular incident was not the result of malice, either on the side of the trademark owner or Twitter - it was simply an error of judgement, and those happen to the best of us."

So where are all of these accusations about people "targeting" her coming from?
A minor nitpick: It was Andrew Wiles who proved Fermat's last theorem. Andre Weil was another incredible mathematician (responsible for, among many other things, the celebrated Weil conjectures), but did not prove Fermat's last theorem.

I can understand being on Windows XP (even though it’s still ridiculous) but what possible reason is there not to upgrade to IE8?
Huh? I'm not a native speaker, but I think "programmers" is a gender neutral expression.

No doubt the ad is targeted at men, but that alone doesn't make it sexist.
XP supports up to IE8; why on earth haven't they (been) upgraded?

Not to take away the intelligence of people but a hacker is someone who excels in situations as this - Limited time, limited resources/cheapness to spend money, Have objects X, Need functions Y.

That takes a hacker. Everything else is just a builder (be it building code, or cabinets, or robots). The core ideology of being a hacker is seeing beyond the normal functionality of the item like this roommate has seen. He looked at the wardrobe and saw a sliding table. That is hacking.
One could argue the whole distinguishing feature of modern for-profit organizations is that they are marketing entities with a side of innovation. Markets aren't created by God, they're created by marketers (or entrepreneurs acting as marketers).

Advertising (and broadcast media in general) seems to be an amplifier of existing beliefs or desires. I agree there's little statistical or scientific proof it can convince people of something the opposite to something they already believe -- though there's centuries of evidence that people CAN be sold to.

Marketing itself is a much broader function that also includes the supply-side: understanding the customer, and shaping the customer's complete experience with the company. Thus why it also includes branding, segmentation, and even product design / quality.

Maybe they're fun for you but not them. Your idea of "fun" doesn't apply to everyone, sorry to tell you. The idea of being grown up and responsible does apply to everyone, though.

Food and "things" are not the same as women.

The most entertaining part to watch is psuedo-embedded devices. All you need to do to upgrade, is throw out an entire $10M MRI machine and buy another. Yes your steam boiler is OK but the monitoring system runs XP and we don't sell upgrade kits of just a new monitoring system, although we could make you a deal on a completely new steam boiler system. Or a (in)security system, a HVAC system that runs independently but can only be reprogrammed using some weird XP only driver and software, or a zillion other PC assisted technologies.

I'm really interested in poker, HU specifically, and I'd be perfectly happy if I could play an AI that gave me a challenging game but the best I've found is Poker Academy Pro and that was pretty poor. I found the AI to be sort of ridiculous and quite exploitable. And I'm not a very good player, maybe a 10NL break-even player (without rake).

So if you know of a good AI that can crush microstakes, I'd love to know about it. Since I'm in it for the challenge and not the $$, I'd be happy to play a computer.
Ask HN: Are you seeing a lot more false positives with Gmail?
Over the past 2-3 weeks, I'm seeing so many "marked as spam but isn't really spam" emails that I'm suspecting something has changed with their algo. These are not just random, mom-and-pop emails that I'm talking about - I'm seeing email newsletters from major and minor companies that I've received for 5+ years go to spam. I'm talking about emails from Apple, Amazon, and even eBay being marked as spam. It's too wide to say "Maybe that company changed carriers?" or "Maybe a major email sender has been compromised?" - I bet I've marked more than 100 emails in the past 2-3 weeks as "Not spam". Some of those companies roll their own, some use constant contact, mail chimp, etc. It's gotten to the point where, once my spam folder has more than 10-15 emails in it, I go mark the emails as "Not spam" that are legit (usually at least one) and then empty the spam folder so I can more easily spot the next ones.

Anyone else seeing this behavior?

You can't really have an unmanned delivery truck. The truck can't put the package at your door, ring your doorbell, or collect a signature.

I don't think anything in life is ideal. That's just not how it works. You have to escape the fairy tale and accept the world as it is. I agree with the other guy who said most problems are caused by ourselves. It's really important to understand that you share this planet with 6 billion other people. Step back and reassess yourself, ensure what you think you need is actually a NEED, and be kind to other folks.

And this is just independents (mostly) and just Debian. I'm sure IBM and other major corps would be glad to help as long as its legal, which is not an issue with FOSS unlike windows.
