It is almost a software change provided the TV is capable of a high framerate.

Alas, Sony et al made it a hardware issue, requiring re-purchase of recently-purchased HD hardware and requiring the most expensive & annoying forms where possible (battery-powered high-price easily-lost/broken glasses). This when a relatively cheap polarizing overlay with passive glasses (heck, contacts even) would have made it a no-brainer upgrade.

Uranium ... These numbers are way too pessimistic

Then cite your sources. The Wikipedia article I linked cites this MIT study for ~100 years supply at present rates of consumption: http://web.mit.edu/nuclearpower/pdf/nuclearpower-update2009....

I think this is way too pessimistic.

For liquid fuels I'd strongly suggest you check recent trends: BP's annual statistical review, CapEx spends and yields from Shell, BP, and Exxon, and projections from the EIA and IEA -- this isn't the Peaker fringe, by a long shot.

algae fuel

Tell me how much algae fuel you want and what conversion pathways (biodiesel, ethanol, synthesis, solids) you're referring to. Then give me acreages and water estimates. Oh, and how you're going to fertilize all that goop and keep pests out of it.

You've done some hand waves but I've seen no sources. Who or what do you rely on for information, estimates, models, or whatever else serves as the foundation for your optimism?
DataArt’s New Microsoft Gold and Silver Competencies for Multiple Categories
Lenovo have at least 20 laptop product lines. It's a generalization to call them all cheap plasticcrap, as they really do cover the entire spectrum.

I also don't see how Dell compete with the MBPs at all.
The crutial thing for people wanting to learn programming is to get "hooked". Once you're hooked, you'll learn everything there is to know about programming as and when you need it.

What is more important than teaching people to program, is showing them how to teach themselves.

Programming doesn't really have any big concepts that need massive amounts of prior knowledge to understand. It's just 1s and 0s. You can't really compare programming (Building stuff), to quantum mechanics.

I'd say pretty much all kids these days have access to a computer, and to the internet - a perfect environment for self teaching.

Just like 25 years ago when I was teaching myself, there is no barrier to anyone who wants to learn.

Telephone networks can be used to command and control spies too. Does that mean everyone who uses a public platform uses it for bad? No a subset of all users do.

I don't see what your comment adds to this discussion other then trying to justify their actions. I can use your logic for a few other examples:

Most terrorist enter the country by air travel, we need better airport screening.

Some people who cross the boarder illegally don't do so to find a better life, but to run drugs in america. We need better board protection and patrol.

Email is very useful to set up worm command and control networks, we should monitor or DDoS public email servers.

Your logic can be used to justify basically anything. Its a logically fallacy, the Strawman argument.
On the server side, I think it's time for the lightweight web frameworks to shine - like ruby's sinatra/padrino, python's flask and equivalents in your language of choice.

On the client side, I think everything still falls in 2 camps - Backbone for the minimalist, Angular/Ember for the rest.

I'm hoping the web makes progress on the shadow DOM soon, so we can get a higher level of client side encapsulation.
> The government plans to set up a website enabling tourists to apply for the visa and pay the fee. The visa would then be available for collection on arrival at any airport after three days.

Sounds like e-visa is a more appropriate term here. I thought visa-on-arrival usually implies that you can just fly in at any time (from my experience).

Blossom integrates with Flowdock
My parents are intellectuals both big on giving us opportunities. My dad was a major geek before computers were in every home but never programmed one or used one until he made one available for us. Before that he worked in a building where telephone switchboards were being operated. There he used a combination of Telex machines, morse code "beepers", voice radios and Minitel to help manage a sea port and handle emergencies when one arose.

He learned multiple languages during long night shifts talking with radio operators aboard ships in and near the harbour. At the time of retirement there were no computers in his office (save for arguably the Minitel).

One Christmas a few years before his retirement he brought home a Tandy 1000EX. We couldn't really afford it so we had to cut elsewhere but my parents knew that it'd be handy for us and they were right. We were one of the first families in the city with one and it helped shape my understanding of the world in ways I couldn't fathom at the time.

I'm glad my parents did the sacrifice.
It may be deceitful, but it makes for a better game. Seeing your five hit attack miss five times at 5% miss chance per attack will induce true frustration. Battle for Wesnoth doesn't care. It will be honest, and you will scream in anger.
ADHD is mostly understood to be a failure of executive function, which include brain processes that are involved with allocating cognitive resources to tasks. As such you get periods of poor focus from under-allocation of resources. At other times you get periods of hyper-focus from over-allocation of resources. This is also why certain stimulants work for those with ADHD, it stimulates the part of the brain that deals with executive function.

Since anyone can look over your shoulder and see your screen, and also anyone can torture you into giving up your passwords and log files, all encryption is worthless, and actually worse than no encryption at all since it gives you a false sense of security.

This is essentially the line of reasoning I'm seeing employed in this blog post.

SSL is valuable on IRC solely for letting you authorize with NickServ. If you are at a developer conference on the conference wifi, you would be foolish to connect to IRC sans-SSL and authorize with NickServ, especially if you owned any channels. If you blindly accept an unverified cert, that's your problem, but don't take SSL away from me because some people don't understand certificates.

I would agree with you, in the context of the fractional reserve system.

But in the case of a cryptocurrency exchange the credits and debits should be more or less equal, minus the trading fees. At least, that's how places like Mt. Gox promote themselves.

It may take longer to get your funds, if there is a "run" on the exchange, because of the flood of transactions into the system and the need to reconcile everything, but that would likely be measured in a few hours extra, not days/weeks.
Looks great! Well done!

Just a quick comment about the first heading:
"Every team have recurrent tasks to perform"
doesn't sound right to me. I'd probably put:
"Every team has recurring tasks to perform"
- or at least replace the 'have' with a 'has' :-)

Contrary to popular belief, it is not illegal to have a monopoly; it is illegal to have an abusive monopoly. If Amazon really does build a system where they truly can sell everything cheaper than the competition could even hope to, and then they do, well... great! That's a pretty big win for society in general.

If, on the other hand, they use their monopoly position to illegally crush everyone else, then raise prices until the next time they have to crush someone, you have an antitrust case. And note that there's already more than a whiff of accusations about the former going on, that they are using Amazon stock price to power a market domination move which they will then use to monopolize and extract rent. It's a bit hypothetical at the moment, but it's not as if nobody's looking for this to occur.

Amazon's stock price is, IMHO, pretty clearly predicated on the "crush all opposition than extract rent" model being what the market expects to see, incidentally. Stay tuned.
The two vaios I used after the 505g were utter cheap pieces of crap, and they haven't seemed to do much better recently. Whatever your beef with Apple is, saying that Sony is actually better in quality is crazy.
I think he was suggesting his son wasn't going to do a GCSE in IT which is eminently sensible. 15 years ago, I don't think many people could do a GCSE in IT. There were a few compulsory computing classes where we got to play with spreadsheets and word. But they didn't count towards anything and didn't distract much from the core curriculum. And we had a computer programming after school club that was very popular but then immediately shut down when a senior teacher discovered we were making games.

Ask HN: Resources for making hardware ideas into products
I am a software developer. I have a reasonably good idea about how to start a software based company from reading articles on this site. I sometimes come up with ideas for hardware, or a mix of software and hardware (something that plugs into your phone, and gets triggered by the accelerometer for example).

Are there any good resources to learn how I would go about putting my ideas to life. I could probably build a proof of concept prototype using Arduino, or Rasperry Pi, but then what? I would have no idea where to go from there.
I thought the same thing: Some drunk asshole with a rifle and box of bullets. Shoots the transformers randomly, finds a spot where something finally happens, with the oil pouring out, runs out of bullets, and goes home.

Hanlon's razor: "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity."

Next, bullet holes in rural road signs will be evidence of domestic terrorism.
I don't think we can trivially turn (fresh) water into energy (yet?), so I wouldn't use that word. It's true that with enough energy, we can generally get some water purified (and distributed).
One of the nice features of the Settler of Catan assistant for the iPhone is that it will roll the dice for you, and it keeps a chart of the results. Thus one has data to back up the complaint that "Your 3 is out producing my 6!"
I did something similar in the early 2000s. I sold public-domain books (as in created by government agencies) as pdf on cd on eBay.

The cost varied between $1-$10 with $5 shipping, and would cost me $1.20 out the door. I had everything automated with a robotic disc publisher/printer and stamp printer that I would work maybe one hour a week and bring in a couple hundred dollars each week.

It was definitely a great source of side income. The main market was people who didn't search google, since they could take the title of the auction, put it in google, and usually find the PDF right there.

There's still people doing the same out there but now the market's flooded and there's much less profit margin available.

That accounts for some of the people who use the exchange that way, but I'm not sure it applies to most of the funds that have stayed out there.
Amazon is already a far more diversified company than google. Google's revenue breaks down into: search, network (backbone ISP), and "other". Under "other" is gmail, gdocs, youtube, android, everything that isn't search. Google is very, very bad at productizing and monetiziation. They are even worse at maintaining customer relations with anyone other than advertisers. The same is not true of amazon, who began as a bookstore and have only become more and more diversified over time.
You might be right, but I could not come up with a anything better to put in the title then MVP, you have anything better I will change the title.
How Remixing Has Helped Revive Pittsburgh
As a startup, you should also use this information to help decide your company's own risk/reward ratio of pursuing a customer. I worked in a B2B startup, and when we tried to engage larger businesses we ran up against this "trust" issue. Every time, we spent lots of time and money talking with them and came away with nothing.

> Who other than Apple can really truly differentiate and survive in the PC business today anyway?

Anybody that cares to.

There is no manufacturer that claims to have extraordinary quality, no one that tries to make the cheapest possible system, no one focused on consumer support, and I'd probably get a dozen other niches if I keep trying for a few minutes. All PC manufacturers are trying hard to sell the same thing everybody else is selling, for a long while now.

Anyway, Sonny is not in the business of caring about what their consumers want, so I doubt they can differentiate in any good way.
I don't know anyone who has been able to pull USD out of Mt. Gox for months. The reason it was +$100/BTC on Gox vs. other exchanges was the people were paying a premium to get their current fiat holdings converted into something that they could pull out.

Now that avenue is apparently closed, too, so it will be interesting (to say the least) to see how this plays out.
The line in quotes is from the article. I was trying to counter it by citing TCS CEOs were not IITians.
I should have made it more explicit.
"[T]he vast majority of the time it's far stronger than what is required."

Oftentimes it's also just not what is actually required. Often you want uniform spacing with some jitter, not points drawn from a uniform distribution.
Tl;dr: NASA was only incidentally about science, it was cover for funding military/geopolitical goals. Once those goals (moon, shuttle) were achieved, NASA's risks and costs are exceedingly hard to justify.
"One explanation for this could be money laundering."

Reminds me of something a few months or so back (in 4chan/g/) when Samsung had some sort of a campaign that gave it's users free android market credits. I don't remember how you had to authenticate yourself, but it was easy to fabricate and people did it multiple times over. As a result, people made really bare android apps to buy from themselves to turn that credit into real money.
Some enterprises are, perhaps most. But tablets and phones HAVE made a dent, and some places are BYOD even at the computer level.

e.g. Google is very far from 99% Windows - and though it is not your standard "enterprise", it is far from unique.
PG's essay and this one are complementary. PG adds a valuable piece which is to question the idea that work is generally or largely unpleasant by nature. Both authors agree we must get over our momentary discomforts and press ahead to lead a fulfilling life. PG doesn't really say how, only how to recognize intellectually that it's necessary. Extrapolating what he says into procrastination advice, you might end up with "remember your goals" and "be able to delay gratification."

"Letting go" is a particular in-the-moment experience that is very valuable to understand. It sort of looks like "sucking it up" but it's a release rather than a bottling up, so it's right at the heart of the issue of managing your energy and willpower well rather than flailing around and beating yourself up in response to the pressures and goals you are laboring under.

Yep. I mean I know that every great breakthrough starts with a lot of "hmm...could [x] lead to a cure for [y]?", but every time I read about a "breakthrough" I anticipate follow-up articles about how good the trials are going, yet they never seem to materialize. I think we're all from a generation that's probably a little impatient, as well. ;)
Me too, recurring checklists is a very powerful tool.

A little "easter egg" is the backgrounds that comes after the first image in the header. Everyone who have read "The Checklist Manifesto" will understand. =)
Thankfully, that assertion has never been fully tested. I'm not so optimistic.
I don't like the notion of reinforcing bad intuitions.
Yes, yes, a million times yes.

The biggest problem with this weak type system is obvious with CSS3 Matrix Transforms. CSS3 matrix transforms are the biggest bottleneck preventing fast updates to many DOM elements. Without fast updates of many elements across an entire page (window), pulling off the awesome smoothly animated effects found in modern desktop and mobile operating systems is pretty much impossible, especially in a system that implements immediate mode graphics over retain mode (DOM).

Marshalling matrix3d updates from numbers in an array of length 16 to a stringified array to apply it to an element, only to have the browser have to convert that stringified array back into an array of 16 numbers is insanity.

If you want performance, you need a more robust type system than just strings and children. I'm an engineer at Famo.us and we would absolutely love it if we could do something in javascript like element.set3DTransform(someLength16Array); We could simultaneously update thousands of DOM elements if arrays and typed arrays were supported instead of stringified.

MVP doesn't mean it have to be perfect but it also doesn't mean that even basic things have not been taken care of.

so we've had a solution to the credential sniffing for 10+ years: our services support AUTH via something very similar to CRAM-MD5.

with that out of the way: you've missed the main point, and that is that it's really really hard (I would use the word impossible but I'm not 100% certain) to secure multiuser chat.

the sheer number of places that could be compromised is so high, that offering a 'secure connection' (which users associate with actually secure online commerce) is dangerously misleading.

we understand the threat model very well, and we recommend that you shouldn't trust us to secure your communications, and suggest something like fish instead.

Visualizing GPS data in R
Looking forward to seeing what the first/final version of this looks like and offers. Definitely need this kind of service a lot. I was thinking about something like this ever since I heard them speaking of a social checklist app on http://techzinglive.com/page/1419/250-tz-discussion-rise-of-... . Actually I would strongly think about adding a way to share and find checklists, maybe even a checklist store for larger checklists (e.g. conference planning) instead of having to come up with every checklist from scratch.

Good luck and endurance!
...unless you count a decade of Palm and Windows Mobile letting you install apps.
Exactly. The only reason to be afraid of that is if you have zero faith in the Dollar and thereby the Treasury/US government. And while I can somewhat empathize with the sentiment, if the US government collapses, we have bigger fish to fry here in the US.

The whole point of reporting the incident is that it's HR's job to track and decide whether this is a one-off rant or a pattern of public homophobic behavior, not the OP's.

Say he doesn't report this incident and then it happens again two months from now. Is he then supposed to go to HR and report both incidents at once?! In that case, it's definitely the person's job on the line, whereas if HR gets notified the first time, perhaps they get a chance to warn the individual before they step over the line too many times.
This does qualify as (very poor) encoding, to me - the malicious code is stored in padded ASCII, which has to be decoded to unpadded before being interpreted.

It doesn't use metadata, though, and I wouldn't call it steganography, since the image the data is in is never intended to be seen.
