As a service provider I'd like to see more of the UI for "Monitor Multiple Apps/Services". We monitor several hundred devices each with between 2 to 8 sets of service metrics, I'd like to see how that works with "UpHound" and how your UI scale's for large numbers of devices and uptime checks.

Also can you capture data from our privately hosted nagios instances?

We currently use Centreon as a front end to Nagios and can, through quite a fine-grained ACL mechanism, allow our end users to logon and see uptime metrics for their hosts and service checks. Yes the Centreon UI isn't quite as stylish but I don't see a compelling reason to consider Uphound for now.

Sorry folks, but I'd rather have seen a more fully fledged demo or mockup before parting with my email address. At the moment this just looks like vapour-ware and if you pivot to go do something else I don't want you spamming me.
Nowadays his 'prime year' 1 paper per year would be considered an unacceptably low rate and result in him being thrown off long before his breakthrough.
ROS is definitely the way to go. Aside from the plethora of existing libraries for preexisting robots, its the 'industry-standard' for personal robots. Plus, its really quite easy to learn, well-documented and capable of really impressive things.
> "Not only that, but if you're using money, it's much easier to use someone else's money instead of your own, you just won't be too careful about how you spend it."

Sounds logical on paper but doesn't bear out in reality - just about every country where health care is provided via "confiscated funds" pays dramatically less for better outcomes than the USA where people are responsible for spending their own money.

The Parasite(tm) is more bedtime-story boogeyman than observed reality. They exist, but in far fewer numbers than reported, and their effects on the system far less grave than prognosticated.
NetBSD does that as well.
Most recently used. And by implication, most commonly used.

Well, which is it? There appear to be two categories, one on the top and one on the bottom. Both appear to be some formula of recently used, commonly used, and likely to use again but it's not clear what the difference is or what the secret sauce part of the formula is (.exe size, for example?). The only thing it's obviously NOT, is a strict "recently used" formula. Also the submenus are just weird. It would seem to be "recently used files" for the associated application but with putty, for example, there's only a single random .jpg file and attempting to open it causes an error. Obviously I suppose, putty can't open jpgs, but why is it even there and how do I get rid of it? No idea. I can "unpin" it but it doesn't go away.

Also, to the main point-- the contents of that menu have changed substantially from windows XP, meaning that I pretty much have to throw away most of what I learned from the previous version.

It's really a mess. Some things I launch from the start menu, others I launch from a desktop icon, others I have to search for using the search box. Outlook and firefox are in the quicklaunch area. Even one tool I use all the time (procexp.exe) never gets added to the start menu, yet the videogame LIMBO is there, which I played once last year over the course of a few days and then opened it once for 5 minutes 1-2 weeks ago and haven't touched it in the interim.

It's not that it's so horrible I can't get things done, but all this UI change improves nothing about my user experience over windows XP (which still had a section for recently used apps, which was a convenient and useful addition to the core design.). The search is faster, and adding search with a new results UI as the fallback behavior to what used to be the "run..." command window was a very sensible tweak.

But the new UI tends to cause some minor annoyances any time I want to do anything of the sort of power-user stuff I used to do when I was younger. My prior knowledge of windows is rapidly becoming useless and I'm getting very little from the OS in return.
Write a blog howto setup a wordpress website. That's something new.

Off course if there is something else you could show that you can reach a significant goal that needed some persistence please pursue it.
>Their opposition has merit; it's easy to point to Fukushima and Chernobyl as major disasters.

The disasters are one thing.

The constant lying from authorities, government and assigned experts was another. They were caught pants down telling lies and misinforming in handling the Fukusima accident.

This breaks trust. And for projects like that, that involve billions of dollars (enough to fuel much payola and greed), it's easy not to have much trust in the good intentions of those building and managing them in the first place.
Well what he said still stands: "ou have the discipline and endurance to finish things, even or especially if they don't appeal to you all the way."
>It's tempting to think of the Moto G as some kind of "Nexus Jr.," a cheaper way to buy into the clean UI and quick software updates that Google's reference phones have always received. However, Google is making no promises about versions of Android beyond version 4.4, and speculating about whether Android 4.5 or 5.0 or whatever will roll out to the Moto phones as quickly as KitKat is a pointless exercise.

Again shooting themselves in the foot.
Largely a focus on maximizing short-term and near-term "productivity" - as we understand it here and now - rather than allowing the leisure for both basic sanity and for larger thoughts.
Oh, and I should add: Life can be better after university.

I know many people who would disagree with me, and one thing I do miss is the societal norm of weeks of free-time (which you won't get us much if you're chasing grades/networking), but I've found the financial freedom from being employed, and using one's free time to chase your own intellectual curiosities rather than those set for you much more enjoyable and rewarding.
My employer (Eastman Kodak) had one of the few industrial research reactors built for neutron activation analysis (NAA) from 1974 to 2007. NAA provided great trace analysis of impurities that caused problems with photographic film and solid state devices. The reactor was located in the basement of the research labs, next to my electron microscopy lab. I spent close to 20 years next door to this.

There were two main issues that caused the company to decommission the reactor. 1) replacement of the californium source would have been prohibitively expensive. 2) Because the neutron source also contained isotopes that could have been weaponized (with great difficulty,) we had to maintain 24x7 security - at great expense. The press reported on the removal (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/05/14/kodak-nuclear-react...)

During my tenure as "next door neighbor" to this, I was more concerned about falling on ice in the parking lot during the winter than any concerns from the reactor. The staff in the NAA lab were well-trained scientists who were quite careful and they monitored constantly for activity.
This is incorrect in several ways.

1) Ignores obvious intention of the author

2) "several"
I'm far from a musical expert, but I thought this was essentially how many instruments work: Each string/hole/whatever produces a different resonant frequency which is orthogonal from the others the instrument produces; therefore any combination of strings/holes/whatevers creates a sound that cannot be created by any other combination of strings/holes/whatevers.

Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

Edit (before someone nitpicks, I'll do it!): I'm aware interacting with instruments doesn't produce _only_ resonant frequencies; and that the off-resonance is what gives an instrument its characteristic sound, even when playing the same note as a different instrument.
>It is very disappointing how constricted the field of nuclear research is, as it is a demonstrably zero carbon footprint energy source.

Yes, if only it didn't have any other footprint...
If Google's plan is to leave the high-end of smartphones to its Android "partners" and stake out the low end with Motorola, that seems pretty smart. Its partners get to keep the high-margin hardware business that Google doesn't need anyway, Google puts a floor on how bad the low-end phones can be and still make it to market. And yeah, Google isn't in the position of competing with companies that it needs.
See my reply to s800.

Before you jump ship to precision tests of gravity: graduate students' mean time to graduation in our group is >7-8 years. Our experiments take several years to set up, at least a year to execute, and at least a year to analyze.

When a new idea/theory comes up, we can often test it quickly (or rule it out with existing measurements), but our bread-and-butter work is a direct confrontation with hard experimental problems.

For scale, we can choose to be separately sensitive to both the gravitational signal and the tilt of the ground due to a pickup truck parked outside of our lab.
Heh. Nice try! But no, orders of magnitude worse. Which international media sensation did Klein set off?

It's true that Klein obliged the Toronto stereotype of the redneck Albertan (and, shrewd politician that he was, used it to score points with his base). That's one reason it's so poetically fitting that you all elected Rush Limbaugh crossed with Marion Barry.
"In the next few years, this company anticipates 15,000 new openings for welders and pipe-fitters in the southeast. And the head of recruitment has absolutely no idea where the workers will come from. That should scare us all."

Oh FFS. If the company can't find 15k workers perhaps they should consider raising wages. Mr. Rowe's show has clearly demonstrated that no matter how unpleasant 99% of the world might find a particular job there's somebody willing to hold their nose (or put on a gas mask, etc) and do it for the right price.

Of course that's not really what most companies mean when they say, "we can't find workers": it's usually more "we can't find people who've already been trained who'll work for below-market rates while enduring blazing heat AND total shitbags for bosses - won't somebody make these uppity workers stay here?"
macs are also a premium price compared to PC's....not sure how comparably this is
What you do, however, is remove the reason job seekers go to college in the first place. There are not that many jobs that actually require a degree, other than as a superficial filtering mechanism, so you can take them out of that system.

The result is that demand for college decreases, therefore the price will decrease through the properties of supply and demand, which leaves an education that returns to being affordable for those who actually care about an education.

You are right that businesses will have to find a new filtering mechanism, but it can be one that doesn't come at the cost of making education unobtainable to those who want an education.
I wouldn't call a heap a "data structure", though. It will lead to mighty confusion, as heap-the-data-structure has nothing to do with heap-in-which-you-allocate-memory.
Very nice. You will save some space and allow for some typos if you stem and soundex before insertion. Also you can save space and improve the run time somewhat if rather than many separate bloom filters you build one large one where each item is post ID + word. If you do that you can also insert each word bare so you get O(1) empty result sets, helpful if you're updating the results with every keystroke in a search box.
It's about 5 business days for coinbase to enable your account, not to mention the risk of giving a vendor access to your bank out. And I think each buy/sell transaction also takes a few days to apply?

> transactions are nearly instant; confirmations take a few minutes

This is true for my credit card too.

> payments are irrevocable - no chargeback issues

As a customer, I prefer the ability to make a chargeback.

> you can pay anyone anywhere at anytime - no bank holidays, no paying Western Union fees to send money oversees and have it still take days

I specifically excluded international transfers in my question. Anyway, these are heavily regulated and risk and volatility of bitcoin simply aren't worthwhile in comparison to the few dollars I would save.

> pseudo anonymous - you don't have to provide personal information to a financial organization to make payments

Could possibly be an advantage but isn't really true because coinbase would know all about me and all my transactions could be traced back to them by just traversing the block chain.

> many vendors give a discounts for users willing to pay in bitcoin vs. dollars

I would think about using bitcoin for this reason if I could convert USD -> BTC and quickly buy whatever I needed using BTC. But again this is something that takes days and who knows what the USD->BTC rate would be when I eventually do get my bitcoin. It's simply not worth it.

I'm paraphrasing Weinstein [insensitive!] from his answer to the Edge 2013 question. The wording of Weinstein's original requires more cognitive load (to associate the individual with the adjective he assigns) than necessary. My paraphrase closely follows Weinstein and attempts to reduce the reader's cognitive load, without endorsing Weinstein's choice of adjectives--which I do not endorse.
You misunderstand the world. The world largely doesn't care about skill or talent. It cares about credentials.

You've also thrown away your chance at meeting cofounders, because now your social circles are going to consist of workers who are largely not willing to give up their salaried jobs to take a chance, or they're in so much debt that they won't be able to even if they want to.

If you wanted to apply to YC with a cofounder, then they'll understand "we met in college." They won't understand "we worked together for 3 months at a random job." Relationships forged in college are much stronger than relationships found at work, so it's inherently risky to bet that you and your coworker won't get into a founder squabble and tank the company unless you've known eachother for years.

Good luck to you.

Apple used to cover all bases. There was iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, all the way up to the biggest iPod. So in the early 2000s, people at every level of the MP3 player market could be part of Apple's universe (which led to more PC sales and further MP3 sales and upgrading).

They've still not done this with phones, so they've left a giant hole for Android to fill, which in turn makes the platform more attractive to developers.
"blog howto setup a wordpress website. That's something new"

Irony I guess :) Hosting a wordpress site (on a VPS for instance) would be more interesting, somewhat less common. I suggested hosting, not setup :)
It requires comparing VPS offers, choosing a distro, securing the server (iptables/ssh), setup for MySql & Apache, installation of Wordpress, setup of a cache (with memcached?), backup strategy... It could be much more than just a blog post, and I know many professionals who are stuck with shared web hosting and who would love some help with a VPS for their hosting needs.
HepC is more difficult to transmit sexually and therefore somewhat less of a risk but, as you say, one that is underrepresented.
I'm not from the USA either, and while I remember counsellors proposing community college/trades, the societal view was that you would be doomed to work in a mediocre job with mediocre pay for life with that kind of education. Worse, if you didn't attend post-secondary education at all, you'd be lucky if McDonalds would hire you to flip burgers. Only those with university educations were going to make anything of themselves.

In hindsight it was pretty ridiculous that anyone actually spread that message, having no basis in reality, but when you are not even/barely a legal adult and have spent the vast majority of your life in school, it is difficult to see what the real world is actually has in store.
My mom had cancer surgery at Sloane Kettering in NYC. After surgery, which removed most of the cancer, she was put on a treatment regimen that involves a certain type of medicine (which she'll be on for the rest of her life.)

Because she matched a gene, she's able to take a medicine called Tarceva. In essence, this medicine makes her lung cancer a chronic illness -- it's present, but doesn't spread or metastasize. It's a similar strategy to the one now employed with people who are HIV positive.

Mom is still kicking, so this stuff is working.
I got over 4,000 users now on my open source noise android app psychoflute.

It looks like the original research paper that this press release is talking about is here: http://arxiv.org/abs/1307.6850

Actually that is a perfectly good argument except the people who make it are always being dishonest.

When Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft or the NSA say "why do you want privacy?", they specifically mean us and not them. It's not like we can look into Apple's servers and make sure they aren't abusing all the the private data they store about us. It's not like we're allowed to analyze the NSA's hitlist to determine if there's racial profiling going on there. These companies won't let us look at their source code to see if there are backdoors in supposedly secure products. And we're never going to be able determine exactly where a politician's campaign funding is coming from.

I would buy the argument "if you've got nothing to hide, then why do you want privacy?" if people making that argument were willing to apply those standards to themselves. They never want to do that, so I'm forced to conclude it's just a rhetorical device used to trick the naive into giving up their information for free.
if you look through their drivers, they use a sort of c++ without exceptions, but last i remember from debugging network drivers on osx, they looked like they were forked from freebsd a fairly long time ago, but were for a long time close enough to be able to see the roots(i don't know if it's still like that)
