"They need to dial it back some."

I had the same thought about Glastonbury, when they were talking about not running it a few years back, because it had got too unwieldy and a lot of the regular goers were complaining it had sold out and become too big.

As you suggest, if you could split the festival (and the crowds) in two and have one festival cover all the larger (Lady Gaga, Oasis, Rolling Stones...) or more mainstream/hyped acts along with the people who primarily aren't interested in the more obscure bands/experiences to be had away from the main stages, that would then leave the rest of the festival to the regulars who want to wonder around the green/healing fields and see all the lesser known (but often better/more interesting) bands.

I'm not sure how the logistics (or planning) would pan out given that i suspect the majority of money the festival forks out are for the bigger acts. But if they were to run these two festivals in consecutive weeks perhaps the economies of that would make it more viable.

Fortunately Glastonbury has managed to stay resolutely non-corporate, unlike most of the larger UK music festivals (V, Reading, Leeds etc.) and still manage to host a shedload of really good bands across the fame/size spectrum.

But maybe, in a similar fasion, if SXSW were to split and leave the corporate shilling to the mainstream crowd/event, maybe the other half of the festival could return to more how it was, discovering new music with people who care about new music and not having to queue for ages for the privilege?
How is this easier than keeping my notebook to access my notes? Does it make my notes searchable through OCR or transcription? Right now, you are selling a scanning service - which was deprecated in the early 2000's.

The main pain point with notes is finding the one that I am looking for. Make my notes searchable. That would make me use this service exclusively.
I'm guessing because concentrated O2 is extremely flammable and would be fuel for a fire, when the opposite would be needed. Rapid fire-suppressant systems basically work by sucking all of the oxygen from the room/space as quickly as possible.
No judgement on the product itself; I actually find the concept interesting, but I feel that linking directly to the itunes page itself would be more effective.

AFAICT, the "derp" dog means you won, aka reached 2048. With a score that high, you probably had a derp, although you may not have. My personal best is over 53000 on the conventional game, well past 4096. I highly recommend not letting yourself get sucked in any deeper, though. With a score of 12440 you probably have a solid strategy, so it's probably more luck that lets me get as high as I did.

The sexist part would be where he states that men as a whole behave one way, and women as a whole behave another way.
Like I said, I do like C#, and even VS... I just find that the types of refactoring and reduced bootstrap time for trying things in a scripted environment can offset a lot of what VS brings to the table. One issue I face a lot at work, is that imho single responsibility principle should extend to modules, and a lot of even the node.js dev here is more monolithic in nature than it should be.

It's about learning your tools, and how to bring in what you need, and keeping out what you don't. In the end it's almost as much about technique as the tools, but sometimes it's easier to adopt new techniques while adapting to new tooling.
Neither of which are requirements to do serious damage, and as has been said numerous times before, there are plenty of other planes that meet that criteria that could have been obtained much more easily and not in full view of the public eye.

While the terms are easily distinguishable to a lawyer, to others, they are practically synonymous, with insolvency nuanced towards being a temporary condition and bankruptcy nudged towards a more permanent or intractable failure.

The implication is that an insolvent person could become solvent by immediate application of better financial management, but a bankrupt person has no choice but to default on a portion of his debts or other financial obligations. Bankruptcy is the noun/adjective descibing what the court does with bankrupt people and businesses.

On paper, they're not at all, but car buyers rarely buy after sitting down with a piece of paper and boxing out their options. The one key area of overlap is in the image portrayed by Prius and Model S ownership.

The study is pretty old (2004, I think), but J.D. Power found that the average income of a hybrid buyer was $100k/year versus $85k/year for the general market. They also found that 42% of hybrid owners make more than $100k per year. This means that a lot of Prius buyers have the means to own a Model S.

The context in which a Tesla Model S gets cross-shopped against a Prius is in that both cars showcase the owners commitment to being "green". While it's a sub-segment of a segment, it's still a real comparison that happens all the time.
My husband is an aspie, and he still burns out. No matter the project (School, work, freelance, etc), he still has to pace himself. He currently has some sort of flu due to burning himself out on a project class. He was doing something he enjoyed, but the professor was rediculous on project timelines and expectations and the whole class is suffering from it. If anything, because he is an aspie, he has a lower tolerance for burnout.
1) I doubt most people know what "Incognito Mode" is.

2) Why does the background & image move around with the mouse? It doesn't have anything to do with the app.
I think it has to do with electromagnetic ducting or other clutter effects:

It looks like intelligence was evaluated solely through two items: size of English vocabulary(?), and the subjective opinion of the interviewer.

Pretty much garbage, really.

"Our first measure of intelligence is a 10-word vocabulary test in which the respondent is asked to identify which of five phrases supplies the correct definition of a given word [24]. Despite its brevity, the test has a correlation of 0.71 with the Army General Classification Test, an IQ exam developed by the U.S. Military [25]. In addition, there is abundant psychometric evidence that individuals with higher IQs have larger vocabularies [26], [27]. Prior to taking the vocabulary test, the respondent is told the following by the interviewer [24]: “We would like to know something about how people go about guessing words they do not know. On this card are listed some words–you may know some of them, and you may not know quite a few of them. On each line the first word is in capital letters–like BEAST. Then there are five other words. Tell me the number of the word that comes closest to the meaning of the word in capital letters. For example, if the word in capital letters is BEAST, you would say “4” since “animal” come closer to BEAST than any of the other words. If you wish, I will read the words to you. These words are difficult for almost everyone–just give me your best guess if you are not sure of the answer.” The respondent is assigned a score between 0 and 10, corresponding to the number of words she defined correctly.

"Our second measure of intelligence is an assessment by the interviewer of how well the respondent understood the survey questions. The interviewer notes down whether the respondent’s understanding of the survey questions was “good”, “fair” or “poor” [24]. We refer to our first measure as ‘verbal ability’ and our second measure as ‘question comprehension’. The Pearson correlation between these two variables is 0.37 (p<0.001), meaning that they are moderately positively correlated. The strength of their correlation is depicted in Table 1, a simple cross-tabulation. It indicates that 98% of those scoring 10 out of 10 in the vocabulary test have a good understanding of the survey questions, yet only 36% of those scoring 0 out of 10 have a good understanding of them."
Theoretically. That's not exactly practical at the moment (though slowly edging closer)

This is a HN meme paired with a comedic reddit meme. We should be aware that it is this kind of content (+1 funny) that degraded /. and defines reddit. HN has not been and, I believe, should not be the place for this.
I didn't say it wasn't either a) interesting; or b) plausible. "Interesting" also doesn't really do anybody any favours here; 'plausible' is the only really relevant qualifier at play here. In fact, I'm well aware there are many plausible (that are simultaneously interesting) theories. But they're just that: theories. Crowd-sourcing theories may be helpful. Crowd-sourcing actual data is probably a lot more helpful.

The flights through that area are scheduled, it would be trivial to figure out which flights go in the direction you want to go and thus can hide behind. After that, you precalculate the intercept to a plane that works timing-wise before you take off. Non-trivial, but simple enough to do - on ground ahead of time you can get a computer to do all the work.

Once you go dark, you fly the traditional way with GPS and nav aides (GPS, VORs, etc, are broadcast, so you can use them passively) backed up by manual nav with time, speed, and bearings. Note that handheld (throw it on the dash) pilot grade GPSes are readily available and relatively cheap.

Intercepting the target aircraft is do-able via visual contact if your navigation is reasonably good and the target aircraft is on time.

If you have help on the ground, they could use FlightAware to update the hijacking crew via something like HF radio, again a passive receive on the hijacked aircraft. This would be very helpful for the hijacking crew to improve their intercept by adjusting their speed so that they sneak up under and behind the target aircraft.

Edit: As thekevan points out (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7416153), the hijackers could use a ADS/B receiver (SDR and laptop or equivalent) to receive the position data from the target aircraft. This would make it pretty easy to form up on them. Again, this is passive (the target aircraft broadcasts its ADS/B information).

20 Alternatives to Track Your Working Time
So good! Thank you for that.
>I was the one that the company sent to visit him in the hospital to check on him after his breakdown.

What a horrible and terrible breech of the employee's privacy. The employee has a right to privacy in the hospital and not having his coworkers "checking up" on him. If he was collecting disability, he should have his doctor communicate with HR/someone who handles the claims and HR needs to keep their mouth shut to others. I spent an extended time sick and a bunch of that time was in and out of the hospital and I would have been awfully pissed, really really pissed, if my boss or coworkers showed up to "check in on me." That was my private time to suffer in peace, I was disheveled, suffering, and in pain and the last person I wanted to see was my boss/coworker. I was collecting disability through my employer and my doctors filled out the appropriate forms and faxed them in to the HR person who handled medical claims. I informed my boss when I would be coming back to work when I knew and was cleared by my doctor. My doctor had to sign another form permitting me to return to work, so I called my boss once that form was faxed into HR. If they needed to know if/about when he was coming back, they could have called and asked if there was a time the employee would be back to work without asking details of his illness or progression. Sending someone to "check up" on him was terribly inappropriate and was possibly a violation of the law.

Furthermore, the author also doesn't have any idea what caused the illness, don't assume it was caused by working too hard. There could have been no cause at all, or the employee could have had a history of acute psychotic episodes for all the author knows.
So lost hours.
Many unproductive.
Tesla is a status symbol, Prius is not.

They have different goals it would seem, Toyota wants to make fuel efficient cars available to the everyman.

Does everyone here actually assume that all ISP's on the planet fail to deliver proper DNS with their internet services?

No, it's you who were (wrongly) assuming the opposite. In an extremely rude way, if I might add.
>It's also not "cool" for a company the size of eFax to not put a simple cancel mechanism on their site and then not answer any of their phone numbers when you want to cancel.

Right, but it's not eFax you're hurting by tying up their accessibility resources.
I strongly doubt it's either. Both are close allies with China. Chinese passengers made up the majority of that flight.

Is whatever this flight was carrying worth risking fraying their alliances? Highly improbable.
> Would anyone be on leave? Probably not.

Again, that is speculation. "What ifs" are not useful here.

As "news" outlets, I expect both sites to corroborate stories before posting them. If they don't, they are effectively tabloids. Posting allegations like this is the definition of tabloid journalism.

There are too many people involved in this story for me to believe that zero of them were reachable for comment. TechCrunch only vaguely mentions "awaiting comment from GitHub", which could mean anything.

I do think it is irresponsible to publish such a story without any corroboration because it implicates several people directly and an entire company's work environment with nothing more than one person's word.

The whole story could be true, but the fact is no one knows; TechCrunch and Valley Wag certainly don't.

It's also pretty offensive how you casually decide what people do and do not need.

Gravity is the structure of space-time, and that structure supports waves. The proper analogy would be that gravity is like electromagnetic fields, and the equations of electro magnetism support wave-like events, and we call this light.
I think I have genuinely never seen scientific notation used in an accouting context. If it can be rounded, then we will use 1MM or 1B.

I see it as follows. Unlike science, where there are a few numbers related in complex ways, accounting has very many numbers, related in very simple ways.

Hey Jonathan, just donated.

Have you or your doctors discussed the possibility of getting you on Yervoy (AKA Ipilimumab)(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipilimumab)? It's an immunotherapy drug indicated for the treatment of late-stage, metastic melanoma.

This is the kind of target that would have someone claiming responsibility. The plane wasn't from a country that's known for disproportionate responses to attacks(i.e. the US or Russia). I would figure that if any group actually did pull this off, they'd be making public announcements that they took down the plane, or were holding it for ransom.

Chrome Extension: Visualize browser history as a favicon stack
Agreed, I used to use the common level3 dns servers which had lower ping times than google's for me, until the change to show advert results. My ISPs has gone down on more than one occasion and I simply don't trust them as much.

Google's currently don't return false results, return fast results, and have a sane caching system. Recently when a site's DNS went down for a day, google continued serving the results, although expired. Most other providers cleared the cache first, and were serving no result.

I've setup my own caching DNS before, it's really not hard... Most home routers will do this today. And my ISPs server isn't 10ms away, but my router is.
I used a nameserver tester to compare my ISP's servers with Google and OpenDNS's. OpenDNS came out on top for me at that time and I was interested in their filtering ability too so I went with that.

IIRC it was https://code.google.com/p/namebench/ that I used for the speed comparison. Just using it now I see it does a comparison with the popular global DNS providers as well as optionally local providers - it also can test for censorship.

There are many DNS benchmarking tools; https://www.grc.com/dns/benchmark.htm looks quite good.
Its pretty equal. There is more microsoft integration (obviously), and its setup more like a notebook rather than evernote which feels more like digital post-it notes. Not sure how sharing/colaboration compares.

It's for building Web applications that can be modified independently of the host service by the users. Think of applications that are plugin heavy - Emacs, Vim, Sublime, Photoshop, 3dsmax, MS Excel (in its way). Similar things could be done with, for instance, user-pluggable forums. The goal is to use Worker VM containers and permissioning so that plugins are safe to share between users.

That's a pretty neat project. Since it's a big effort, you shouldn't beat yourself up about it.

You should be honest with yourself about motivations and reasons for doing open source. Do it because you like tinkering, not because it's a resume-builder. Truth is, open source is not a meritocracy, it's more of a lottery. I've been mildly successful (as in, entranced a nascent community) at it for a time, but I found it a bit stressful with expectations and all.
