I think you've been downvoted as Nathan Barley is probably not well known here. It's quite relevant, though, with Dan Ashcroft being a sort of less fleshed out, modern Ignatius J. Reilly. Anyone interested in the meeting point of Internet, media, and hipster culture owes it to themselves to check out Nathan Barley sometime, it's hilarious and depressing at the same time.

>> How are they "not the same thing"? The only difference is the chip architecture

A change in CPU architecture has a much wider impact. Windows on ARM cannot run all the legacy windows applications. That definitely "not the same thing" when you need those applications.

When Apple moved from PowerPC to Intel, my next Mac meant I had to throw out hundreds of pounds worth of software because, "they are not the same thing" and Final Cut Pro PowerPC version didn't not emulate on Intel.

Yes it's heavy compared to other tablets, but far more comfortable in a tablet environment than any laptop.

The Stingray is awesome, although I wouldn't trust myself flying it until my skills are much better (Curtis Youngblood is a beast). The motor as a point of failure probably isn't a huge deal, because those motors are themselves very reliable, it can autorotate like a traditional helicopter, and a traditional quadcopter can hardly survive a motor failure anyway (although software should be helping that soon).
The television delay for "live" sports seems to be surprisingly high (and has got worse since the advent of digital TV); we're talking 5-10 seconds here. Probably even more for streaming video.
What with? I don't think there are significantly faster CPUs available. They could switch to the 8 core Atoms (20W), but peak single thread speed is slower. They could switch to Arm64, but they will probably do that on a laptop-like machine first probably.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote

I'll be taking a break from consulting for the next few months, and I have a project with a fantastic client that I'd like to hand off to someone capable and trustworthy.

The project is a VPN client for Windows and Mac OS X. It's written in C#, .NET, and Xamarin.Mac/MonoMac, with a dash of Objective-C. OpenVPN is used for VPN connectivity, and the client integrates with firewalls (Windows Firewall, pf on Mac), monitors Wi-Fi connectivity, and a few other things. It's a client/server model with the UI built using WPF/XAML (Windows) and Interface Builder (Mac), talking to a "backend" Windows Service and LaunchDaemon on Mac over localhost.

I'm looking to find a strong candidate I can recommend to my client. The work will consist of adding functionality (UI work is relatively minor) on both platforms, resolving bugs found by customers in the field, etc. The apps are mostly feature-complete, but there is always room for improvement :) Strong understanding of networking fundamentals (TCP/IP, DNS, routing, firewalls), and significant experience working with C#/.NET is a must. Some experience with Xamarin.Mac, Mono, Objective-C, Cocoa, and Xcode are highly desirable :)

> They wanted to hire Jimmy Iovine. Apple needs to make more deals with the entertainment industry, and by all accounts, having Iovine on team Apple will help.

When Apple was putting together the iTunes music store, Steve Jobs bought a condo overlooking Central Park in Manhattan. He had no intention of moving from his home in California, but he knew that he would need a place to wine-and-dine the record label executives, and even the penthouse at the Ritz wouldn't cut it.

I don't think people really appreciate how much Jobs "got" the entertainment industry. He knew not only how to work with, and negotiate with, entertainment industry executives, but he was also the head of a ridiculously successful movie studio himself.

Apple without Jobs doesn't have to worry about design, as Ive's team has that (mostly) under control, they don't have to worry about marketing, as Schiller is still one of the best at what he does, and they definitely don't have to worry about operations with Cook at the helm. What Apple without Jobs is still missing (if they still care about being in your living room) is someone who really understands the entertainment industry.

Very impressive. A friend of mine tried to build something similar with some old flat bed scanners he managed to get from the local tip. Inevitably though, there is cost involved in the extruder head, electronics and software which killed the project dead for him.

Poor recommendation in my opinion.

It's less 'inspiration' and more 'political dogma'.
UK does not use MCQ, but the emphasis on age 16 and age 18 exams in Maths is definitely cranking out the working. Some problem solving, but not so much proof.

Your experience is a really good illustration of the first phase of what I think is a common 'pattern' or 'process' in education reform.

Phase 1: An exceptional teacher decides to do something and a group of highly motivated students (also self-selected students) responds well. Results are good.

Phase 2: This activity is highlighted as 'good practice' and showcased in conferences by head teacher/managers

Phase 3: Managers in other institutions say 'we must do this' and impose the outer form of the activity on staff who are not perhaps thinking of that and students who are not self-selecting.

Phase 4: Results not so good in copying institutions. Staff blamed. Much mumbling.

Knowledge is situated and good teachers will modify things to suit their students in their particular institution.
Wow.. Some people just think about it. Amazing to see people go through with it.
A bit late on my answer, but this is a well-studied phenomenon:

Also, as trustfundbaby said earlier in the thread:
"Group success in America often tends to dissipate after two generations. Thus while Asian-American kids overall had SAT scores 143 points above average in 2012 — including a 63-point edge over whites — a 2005 study of over 20,000 adolescents found that third-generation Asian-American students performed no better academically than white students"

I don't doubt that there is a significant Asian culture effect, but in this case it seems that the "immigrant effect" plays a big, if not greater role.
Open-plan offices are a cost-effective panopticon: cheap, effective way to ensure that not only the boss, but other co-workers are aware of where you are and -- more or less -- what you're doing. The "other co-workers" bit is crucial because even if the boss can't find Dave himself he can ask anyone in the space "hey, have you seen Dave" and be led to a meaningful answer.

Companies will get rid of open-plan offices when they stop being such gift-wrapped boons to middle management, and not a second before. If you don't like it, adjust or exercise your right to be fired. This is America.

There is one good reason to do it. To support JSONP (json with padding). If you use JSONP and the server sends an HTTP response code which is not 2XX, then the browser does not allow JavaScript to parse the response body at all.

There is a way to work around this, which is to use CORS. However, that is not supported in all browsers. So pick your poison.
Yes. There is lots of room for improvement and more tests. libdeep isn't something which I've been actively developing recently.
Let the 'war on Chinese hacking' begin (now that the 'war on drugs' is lost and the 'war on terror' is off the front pages). Was this supposed to distract us from Obama handing over Guantanamo terrorists or that Snowden used all the appropriate channels to report the NSA's illegal activities?

At least the US hasn't been gaining unfair competitive advantage in Chinese markets via their own 'deep burrows'.

Although this is interesting, I think DIY multirotors are where the revolution really is. I've built my own and it really isn't that difficult, assuming you're buying a kit for the frame and not manufacturing your own it's hardly more involved than assembling a custom PC and can result in a drone able to carry a camera such as a GoPro for less than $200. If you are planning to do this though I'd recommend getting a small, cheap quadcopter like the Hubsan X4 to practise with first.

SEEKING WORK - Kortrijk, Belgium or Remote

I'm from Belgium, student and I'm looking to increase my income by doing one small job each month. But you can still contact me as I'll be looking for more and higher paid work in July, August and September.

I'm skilled and experienced in modern front-end development, take a look at my work as it speaks for itself. I'm renowned in javascript and mostly use node.js for back-end development. I'm always using Grunt, less.js, jade and others depending on the project.

I have no fear of the back-end and can find my way around python + pyramid, node + express, python + webapp2, node + kraken. I also have experience in linux server administration and nginx.

Most of the work that I do has to function great, together with a great user experience and design. I'm a traditional, educated print and web designer and I used to make logos, icons and interfaces. Now I'm doing my best with learning development and combining both. Check out my work and you might agree.

Email in profile. Let me know how I can help you.

Couldn't agree more. I had a Parrot 1.0 and it was of low overall quality. I have a Phantom (v1.1) and it's fantastic; a friend just bought the v2 which is even greater.

Among the differences: the Phantom has an actual radio, with ranges of over 500m (it would be very surprising if Wifi covered the advertised 300m of this new Parrot); you can change cameras as you wish (or, after a crash), it can fly really high and really fast, etc.

You can get a Phantom 1 for under $350 these days (without a gimbal), or a 2+ (camera and gimbal included) for around $1000. I would recommend buying the 2 without gimbal ($550) and the Zenmuse gimbal ($150-$200) -- and if you already have a GoPro you're all set.

Alternatively, you can buy a Hubsan H107D FPV which comes with a radio with a screen, for under $150! I don't own that one, but I have the Hubsan X4 which is a lot of fun (and completely safe to fly indoors).
I am ok with open-office if company provides paid sick leave. In Ireland there is at least one week every year, when 70% of company is at home with flu.
I am thoroughly disillusioned with open offices. Headphones are a paper-thin barrier against being interrupted while in the midst of thinking; a good, solid, closed door might do the job better.

You might be able to but I would recommend it, using a good old 2.4ghz transmitter. You'll get more control and more range on that.
Find a local line-man and ask! Wherever you see one of those trucks working on overhead or underground lines there is a ton of knowledge about local infrastructure present.

Good spots to scout for: railroad stations, microwave towers, datacenters (unlikely, but still), highways.
I'm Australian, and on top of what atroyn said, you also have the option for a "blue card" (http://www.bluecard-eu.de/eu-blue-card-germany/) if you're a full-time employee somewhere. It's super easy to get, and it's quite liberal.
yes, but many drones like the DJI Phantom already do that, and better than AR Drones and possibly the Bebop. They also feature GoPro Mounts but are obviously more expensive if you add the cost of the GoPro.

It's a great idea, and no doubt well implemented, but the 20 searches I've performed so far have returned 0 results. I could probably combine this with the German Tank Problem[0] to estimate how many images there are on the web - might be an interesting problem.

But so far, TinEye hasn't helped. Goes to show just how many images there must be out there.

[0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_tank_problem
I have a Phantom and a Hubsan; I upgraded the Phantom with a new motherboard to install a gimbal; but I wouldn't have a clue of where to start for building my own from scratch?

The $200 figure sounds optimistic since the frame and the radio each cost around $100, and then you have to add the motherboard, flight controller, motors and props...?

Would you mind establishing a shopping list of what you built, and where you bought each part? I would love to give it a try! ;-)

First, the answer to "Hey, Have you seen Dave?" should be "In his cubicle/office". If a coworker (or worse yet, the boss) does not know this, then there is a different problem. But yes, it does work well for management-by-surveillance. Whether that's a good thing is yet another different problem.

Second, not all readers of HN are American. Nor do they subscribe to the same political/ethical/social beliefs. The article was about whether open offices are productive or not, not whether we should or should not have them.
Thanks! I've been missing this functionality on Windows for so long, didn't realise there were addins to fix it.
Before you even start, have a look. You'll need a frame kit, motors, ESC and a flight controller as well as a transmitter and a reciever. You might also want an FPV kit so you can see where your flying and a GoPro so that you can film what you see.

Have a look at the DJIF450 or DJIF550 frame kits, start with one of those cost me around £400GBP, you'll learn more with one of those than a Phantom and you'll be able to replace parts easier.

Isn't that what the military do with their cameras on helicopters etc? Take a too big picture and stabilise the middle?
Wouldn't make much sense combined with the Rift though, as the camera on the Bebop can't move. You could move the Bebop itself based on head motion, but i am not sure if that would give a good feel of control. Besides you would still be quite limited in wifi range and i doubt people want drones falling into the pools or on their heads ;)

I love comments like these. Imagine that, we're complaining about having only 1mbps down and 128kbps up. And that's wireless. That's amazing in a way. Progress is so subtle that what would have been an incredible feat of advanced magic less than 2 decades ago is now considered to be anaemic and practically unusable.

To me this is a sign of huge progress, not only do we expect multiple mbps connections for our pocket computers, we're upset when we don't get that level of performance even in the backwaters of our societies.
