There's little purpose in encrypting a signal like this. You're still proposing to trust random cars you've never met before, so how would you know which messages are fake and which aren't?
Avail – An innovative approach to programming
4% doesn't seem sustainable if they're taking credit card payments. The best they can probably get to is around 1.2% transaction fee (if they've shopped around) and this is unlikely given the risk profile of a marketplace like this. I bet they are paying 2.5%+. So 1.5% ($52.50) profit per project?

I have to wonder how they came up with 4% (2% per side). Surely 10-20% is still a reasonable fee to connect these parties and manage the relationship.

Heck, both I and the purchaser pays 10% to an auctioneer to sell my stuff in < 60 seconds (yes, I know they do a little more than that… but mostly it's about supplying the marketplace).
Elon Musk Talks About Getting The Job Done
Yea... this is something you should have talked about on day -1. You can really mess up relationships by not getting the expectations out there and then making sure everyone lives up to them.

I would have a conversation with ownership and see if they want to give you any stock. I would couch it by saying. I'm really glad you let me learn from you, but I think its time for me to either get a job or get some visibility to one here.

I won't start making demands... doesn't sound like you set the expectations in the beginning and that's on you. Don't get mad at them for accepting your "help" paid or not. They might value your contribution very differently than you.
Aside from the ones already mentioned, there's a library called dot-ssh-config[1] that is useful for generating SSH configs.

I just gave a talk at RailsConf and demoed a web app running on a floppy disk. http://tech.pollev.com/articles/html5-app-on-a-floppy/

You can buy a USB floppy drive off Amazon for $15 and a 10 pack of floppies for $10. Surprisingly the disk drive is recognized on Mac OS X and ticks away like a champ.

That's why I'm asking. GA144 has 144 cores - but they are 18-bit wide, and the instruction set is rather unorthodox, even multiplication usually has to be programmed. Code density is pretty high, it's a Forth chip after all - but I suspect it is hard to achieve a good uniform load across the whole device... which might also be the case with Parallela. So we have to consider each claim differently. In general, though, they seem to be quite different chips.
Let's stipulate that it worked great on the problem they analyzed. That problem was really very simple. If they used a more appropriate technique, they could expand the domain of applicability significantly.

Like I said, I've used MCMC for loosely-structured inference problems (but more structured than the one treated in the paper). I was doing MAP estimation (i.e., maximizing the objective function), just as in the paper.

When speaking about my work, I was once asked "Why MCMC on such a hard problem if you're really just maximizing?" It's still a good question.
> People buy large cars in the U.S. simply because they are useful.

You surely know that this cannot be true. In China, again, many rich people buy expensive luxury cars, and really have no need for them, except if you include "social status" in "needs".

I have a simple litmus test for detecting unneeded goods that people are trying to force into our minds: ads. We need normal food (neither fast nor organic), normal shoes (not Nikes), a door on our house with keys, etc. Except if it is very different in the US, I think no big ads campain are selling these.

However, each product that require a heavy handed ad campaigns is certainly lacking in desirability or usefulness. And it also means these industries are spending a lot of money selling you goods, instead of spending money making these goods better or cheaper.

Anyways, my bet is that the car industry is rotten to the bones, selling worldwide dangerous and superfluous multi-tons machines that could be replaced by many other, more useful, safe and scalable transportation means. And I hope Google and others will break this industry apart as soon as possible.
This seems more like "vet my potential idea" rather than "Show hn".

Domain was registered today and we can assume the idea was hatched today if not fairly recently.

There is nothing here other than a single page and a way to signup for either a programmer or person with an idea.

This isn't a business it's an idea. Wrapping it in a somewhat acceptably designed website and some marketing speak and seeing HN start to nibble as if it's some real thing actually happening is always interesting.

When is the line crossed between "Show HN" and free advertising for your idea?
One thing I see right off is that it's iOS 6 compatible. I still have apps supporting that, so this is way more useful to me.
"In the mushroom cloud," one might say.
Don't judge a ad platform by it's ability to get clicks. What's important is it's ability to drive business for companies.

E.g. I'll happily pay $100 per click for if traffic has 50% conversion for a product that has a 1 year profit of $300. If conversion is 0.1% like some apps I'll still buy traffic but bid $0.20 for clicks. Even if the app has 10 times the clicks they will not earn as much as FB. Linking the right ads to the right people is the key for value/profit.
A WPF Q&A
Is it legal to record songs from the radio to a CD, even for personal use? If not then it's not like what they're doing at all.

If it's legal to print a page your browser renders, then it should be legal to have someone else run the printer for you. "Removing ad breaks" is a simple browser function.

It's an interesting business (not that I have that much use for paper printouts of web pages) and this article does a poor job of explaining why it should be shut down. Terrible attitude, too.
Yeah, but how many of those garages are packed full of stuff, with the car parked out in the driveway, anyway?

This gives precedence and license to Comcast and Verizon to play more games. To think it won't greatly change their power and pricing behind the line is naive. This is just the beginning. It isn't about better service, it is about extortion.

Immediately after the Sept. ruling these Cogent connections seemingly started to downgrade in unison: http://knowmore.washingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/this-hilarious... They aren't providing faster service, they are providing the service levels they took away, the extortion is to get back to normal levels.

Netflix just made extortion part of the game behind the consumer line (of course Verizon and Comcast want that but Netflix just made their future much more murky). This will hit consumers in 2-3 years for sure. Tell me I am being hyperbolic in a year or two when your broadband/content services just doubled... in cost, while not doubling in speed or service. This also coincides with a Netflix rise in rates as proof already.
> So they should just then believe what another third-party vendor CPU says,

They're already doing that by checking whether it says it's a genuine Intel. If you can't trust it when it says that it supports a feature, why trust it when it reports a manufacturer?

Acetone and ABS slurry make the parts stick almost too well. I usually have to pry with an exacto knife to remove prints. You pour a thin layer on to the glass, and its like liquid plastic at room temperature. As long as you can properly ventilate the room, it's by far the best method to make prints adhere.
I like it, but I'm seeing some serious similarities to chrome. If I had not seen this announcement and I quickly glanced at those screenshots, I would not think it was Firefox.
Dnsmadeasy is also a good option for small to medium size requirements, in my opinion. I use it for my personal domains.
Really cool idea, but I think a flat-cost of $3,500 for a prototype is way too low and the approach is error prone. How about iteration? Iteration is one of the key factors during the prototyping process. Does that $3,500 figure cover only one iteration or the initial development and consequent iterations? Or does a company/individual have to pay another $3,500 per each revision?
I met Seth a few times and I remember one time he asked to go hiking in a fairly unsafe area when it was getting dark.

The term prototype seem ambiguous enough that will cause problems. How far does it have to done? How much bugs can it have? Cross-browser compatible? The problem with fixed pricing is that its not scalable.
I had the same idea back in 2009 when I got laid off. I wanted to start small and even engaged local restaurants that were giving away their leftover food to pork farmers.

However, my fear of liability stopped me in the tracks.

I regret it now, because I believe the need for this service is greater than any potential liability.

But in the end, clang and llvm may got some contributions back to the open source project, that will benefit everybody..

If not now.. its very common that the project dont get the traction they are expecting.. and then they just open it up to at least get some good marketing of it..

Theres also the whole net effect.. hiring people to get to know a open source project.. that can contribute back to it, or get hired by someone else that do contribute back..

I think in the end, open source with BSD/MIT licenses are likely to have better results for the open source project as a whole..

I think GNU make a lot of sense when stallman give birth to it.. because the software "ecosystem" was very brutal about openness back than.. it required strong leadership and actions.. i think it makes less sense nowadays.. you know.. even microsoft are opening their stuff!!

I think we need to think now more about open data, because there a lot of sensitive stuff behind black boxes and paywalls..

The ad removal option should be customizable, and rendering done by some headless browser. Then he'd literally be renting out a browser and printer. That shouldn't be copyright infringement, but as Zediva and others have shown, copyright law can twist its head around. So it might be possible to rule against this guy.
From a personal perspective I stopped building HTML web apps after I started to transition my WebSQL apps to IndexedDB. I really really disliked the experience (messy code/overhead) and haven't had any desire to write another with a client side DB again. The bright side for is however it drove me to learn iOS and Android development... not such a great day for the web though as I suspect my experience isn't unique.

"I'm wondering how Dyn is taking this. "

I use dyn as well as run several dns servers in different places [1]

The transition is more like from SSE2 -> AVX2, in integer workloads. AVX2 adds 256-bit wide integer instructions and gather-instruction. Gather does multiple loads in one instruction.

AVX was just about floating point.

It's a start - barebones authoritative DNS only - no monitoring/failover, load balancing, Geo, LBR, etc - provisioning via API only. Route 53 started out this way, and has since added many of these features and now has almost 7% Alexa 10k marketshare and rapidly growing.

I created a browser test that measures recursive DNS query times. You can test Google DNS query performance using this link: http://bit.ly/1nY4e60

Techcrunch is still relevant?
>Since she discovered Groupon she refuses to buy anything not on sale. //

I can't recall the exact figures but the way Groupon's deal worked when they pitched me was a definite loss-maker. Groupon took their portion, the customer was required to get a massive headliner discount to make the deal look attractive. Effectively Groupon's proposition was for us to swallow a big loss to send them revenue.

I like a bargain but if the "bargain" means that a third party profits whilst I get to help send local businesses under then I can't take that offer. Sure for some types of business Groupon can work but they don't [didn't] only target those businesses.

Demanding unsustainable prices is "cheap" because it's not a proper saving. You end up paying for [your share of] the social welfare payments for the people that go out of business and the businesses no longer exist to serve you.

The Epiphany cores have no cache.

EDIT: And if you want to read/write the same memory areas from multiple cores, it's your own responsibility to either get the timing right, or use other means (e.g. you can trigger interrupts in another core) to signal when it is safe for another core to access data.

> Why would the US launch an ICBM from within it's borders when it can launch shorter range ballistic missiles from nearly anywhere in the world?

In principle, accuracy: the depressed trajectories you're thinking of tend not to be the most accurate. If you happen to NOT be fighting a full-on nuclear war, and you're just launching one for some kind of military purpose, you'll probably want to launch from land to avoid giving away the position of one of your subs.

> Less time for the enemy to react, less chance of it being known who launched the missile, less chance of the enemy detecting the launch.

You'd really have to reach to come up with a scenario where the United States launched a ballistic missile and did not want anyone to know it had done so. In the absence of a nuclear war, you're going to be dealing with the opposite problem when launching an ICBM: making sure everyone knows what the US is doing so they don't freak out about it.

All the states capable of detecting a launch could pretty well figure out who had launched from a ballistic submarine, in any case.
You'd think they'd use an m-of-n system requiring 2 or more generals to agree.
Thanks for the suggestions! I'll email you, b/c that sounds like a really good deal. Happy to help...:).

The chips have a flat address space that covers any Epiphany chips that have been interconnected via the serial links, and the main memory of the CPU.

You can address core-local memory, memory in another core, or main memory the same way - the difference is speed.

There's no cache, and you're responsible for avoiding race conditions in memory access yourself.
This idea applies to more than medicine. A boss once told me, speaking about a piece of work I thought was pretty good, "If it could be better, it's wrong." It stuck with me, and I've found that everyone I meet who is exceptional at some skill has this attitude.
To be honest I would have left it at "Execution is problematic" but I understand that not everyone agrees with me.

Thank you very much for this explanation. So for example I have a very basic website with CMS. I use a CDN just because I want to give the best possible experience to my users.

I think that people in general seek mental illness as a partial explanation for extreme violent behavior.

Arguably: someone who's violent has a psychological disorder.

However several of the psychological disorders most associated with extreme violence or antisocial tendencies also leave the subject in a very high-functioning state. They can also be frustratingly resistant to any sort of treatment (drug, talk, or other therapies).

Lack of empathy is often not nearly as debilitating as hearing voices and seeing visions.

EEE wouldn't work here. That only works when you have overwhelming market share. Microsoft has basically no browser market share on mobile and even on the desktop they no longer have so much that developers can afford to ignore everything else.

The way to handle Microsoft in a situation like this is to ignore them. Support the same IR on Firefox, Chrome and Safari and then Microsoft can play along or go home. At that point the worst they could do is implement an extended version that allows sites made for all browsers to work with IE but then encourage developers to make sites using Windows-specific features that won't work on other platforms. That's effectively what they tried with Silverlight and you see how far that got them.

I will give you a more harder test environment. Try driving in any major Indian city, especially in the city core.

Super narrow roads. Zero adherence to traffic rules. Kids playing on the roads, sudden reactions from people on the road when they have to cross. Unsignalled sudden breaking, turns, U-turns, people popping up in front of the vehicle from no where etc etc.

What's more how should you expect the car to react when a dog comes chasing. Or when a traffic police guy asks you to stop or take a diversion(You won't believe how common this is here). How will you negotiate frequently occurring speed breakers and pot holes. The list is endless.

I believe starting to test some where in the streets of a city like Bangalore/Mumbai would help.
