How Disney Achieves a 70% return rate
Would movies and music really explode? Music hit the ceiling long time ago - nobody's going to go for higher resolution / sampling rate than the current "uncompressed" sound. Big publishers are intentionally sacrificing the quality for loudness anyway.

Movies can practically scale up to retina-equivalent on wall-size equivalent only. Even then not many people will want TVs bigger than they can look at without moving their eyes...

Pictures could still grow, especially the internal raw representation taken from the light capturing element, but that's likely to be down-scaled when saving to kill noise.

What else is there that really takes space? (that is not limited by the effective resolution of human senses)

Rails & Server developer at biba.com - San Francisco

We're building a unified communications platform that provides audio, video, screen sharing, text messaging and group messaging on Android, iOS, OSX and Windows. Competing against established companies like webex and new disruptors like UberConference.

The rails team provides the backend api that drives and enables the clients and media teams to deliver a smooth collaborative experience.

Great office in downtown San Francisco (2nd & Mission). Rails team is 5 people, supporting the demands of the 20 or so engineers on the other teams. Fast paced weekly release cycles with room to grow as an engineer.

We work in rails, but languages used elsewhere are C, Go, Java, C#, C++ and we love developers that can switch hit between teams when it's needed. We have a lot of our infrastructure built in AWS so experience there is a plus.

Meetings don't need to suck, and we're making that happen. Come join us. Contact john@biba.com and put [Hacker News] in your subject to make sure I get it.

Room on the team for novices and experts.

No recruiters please.
Sounds really neat, but "2017 - next decade" is the engineering estimate version of "sometime, maybe never".
More and more networks are moving to IPv6. These are just a few case studies from different kinds of networks.
http://www.internetsociety.org/deploy360/ipv6/case-studies/

The largest ISP in the USA, Comcast, has had IPv6 for a couple years now.

Or T-Mobile, which recently deployed 464XLAT.

Ask HN: If you're 20 years old, how would you invest $100k?
Say you were 20 and you had $100k tax-free in your bank account to do anything with.
What are some ways in which you'd invest it to get some yearly return?

Or, if you'd do something else with it, what would you do?

Thanks HN!

I for one welcome our new hashing overlords.

On a serious note though, despite GHash.IO having announced it will not seek to break the 51% line, is there a method by which another mining pool can use this fact to their advantage, a roundabout method of collusion?
If metadata is corrupted to a point where pool can't be imported, you probably won't save much from it and shouldve had a backup anyway.

You might want to recover at least some files from a badly damaged FS if it is your home server with a baby photos, but would you really do that, if it was accounting of your company and not restore from a backup instead?
Comcast Converting 50,000 Houston Home Routers Into Public WiFi Hotspots
Not necessarily. Convergent evolution is a thing.
They announced support for it, not that it was the new default. Big difference.

ZFS support made sense for Mac OS X Server back in 2007. It's a beefy server filesystem that rewards beefy servers with gobs of ECC RAM, RAID, and no battery to worry about.

ZFS as default replacement for all of Apple's HFS+ usecases (laptops, iPods, phones and tablets in the works) made no sense in 2007 and makes no sense in 2014. ZFS is simply too resource intensive and too dependent on ECC RAM even now for consumer use cases.
I hope that will speed up. In my area there are no landline ISPs with IPv6 support.
i wonder if you can bend that tinkering - engineering - science continuum into a circle. i think tinkering can lead into science.
You'd probably still have memory partitioned into persistent areas and runtime heap of a sort, and you might very well continue to use the file system metaphor because it still makes sense to humans. Whether a file is bits on magnetic disk, in flash memory, or fast persistent RAM isn't all that meaningful to the user. As for sharing, I don't see why this would be an issue. If you have to move memory contents between machines then you still need some sort of external transport, whether it is a network, or a glowing glass cube.
Yup. They lost me at "The company says it will bring the Machine to market within the next few years".

HP has been working on the memristor since 2008. Memristors have already been produced in labs by U of Michigan:

"pretty dangerous for post-hoc analysis because if (when!) something goes wrong, the information is overwritten and gone forever."

If your last active time table is being fumbled then yes, but I'd worry about all the other parts of your data if that was the case.

Dangerous is not something I would ascribe to a "last active time" table (except if you're using it for security audit purposes)

I have upvoted the comment to protest HN people downvoting comments that they disagree. The comment is by no means spam, off-topic, etc.; the only problem is that it lacks one-or-two links to some backing information.
I mean, there should still be a need for both the data and code sections of a program. Similarly, some kind of tree-like structure for naming "files" locations (for interprocess communication). I would imagine, at least in the early days of some diskless architecture, we'd have something that looks very similar to how computing is currently done but in one memory space.
Put a crontab database in the Name Service Switch

OP here. Thanks for all the feedback so far!

I just disabled the navigation via pushState as it seems to be buggy on iOS devices. I'll put some more time on this and test it properly.

Regarding the questions with the OR/AND search. Yes, it's an OR by default but you can either force or remove ingredients by clicking on the star icon. In case you are just searching by OR, recipes with a higher "match rate" should appear on top. I clearly need to rework this part as it doesn't seem to be intuitive.

Again, thanks for the feedback!
I personally think it would have proceeded at a slower pace, and would have been more expensive.

The tradeoffs may or may not have been worth it, but there seemed to be an obsession with doing it Right rather than doing it cheap and quick. Even today it would be financially beneficial to buy a $70k workstation over a $2k workstation for a developer if there was a significant boost to productivity; each developer costs you well over $70k per year, and you can't double your productivity by hiring twice as many developers.
If long term was your goal, put half in an IRA and have it managed by a mutual fund with a good track record of around %10 a year. That would easily make you a millionaire by 65.

I'm using KOMA-Script (scrbook, etc.), although I looked at Memoir at some point. Both have very detailed documentation, and I don't have strong reasons for choosing one over the other.
So let's look at this from an inventor's perspective:

Feeling exuberant, I know Quirky will vet and accept my idea.
According 109 of 823 accepted projects are on sale, so I have a 13.24% of getting my first dollar.
Royalties are paid out to contributors on 10% of gross revenue.
The idea originator automatically gets 40.5% of this revenue.
So I would get a 4.05% royalty.
Products are approximately $30, so my per unit royalty is ~$1.20

Let's say my cost for well thought invention idea is $1000 (includes time, drawing, cardboard prototypes, etc).
Looking at the spreadsheet attached to the blog the average total units sold per product is 28378.
However, this is a heavy tailed distribution, so we'll make two estimates (from eyeballing the spreadsheet, I divided the total units sold range into 1/3)

a 33% chance they will sell 500 units
a 33% chance they will sell 5000 units
a 33% chance they will sell 50000 units

So expected sales will be

$1.20 * (1/3 * 500 + 1/3 * 5000 + 1/3 * 50000) = $22000

So my expected value on idea submission is

(1 - 0.1324) * -1000 + 0.1324 * (22000 - 1000) = $1912.80

So I can expect to make about $2000 for a product idea on Quirky.
Don't hold back any criticism on this analysis.
"HP’s bet is the memristor, a nanoscale chip that Labs researchers must build and handle in full anticontamination clean-room suits."

You made the point I was trying to make far better than I did. Whether or not it's the poster's intent, the terms superior and inferior imply that there is some objective judgement being made about the thing being discussed that is independent of one's personal preferences.

I honestly think that almost all pointless flamewars in tech forums about the relative merits of various languages/operating systems/editors/desktop environments/whatever stem from confusion among the participants over whether personal preferences or objective qualities are being discussed. It doesn't help that for a lot of people in the larval hacker stage, there is no distinction between objective and subjective judgements- if they happen to prefer vi to emacs, they interpret that as meaning that vi is intrinsically better in some way, and isn't just a better fit for their particular workflow or whatever.
I think the problem here is that you are confounding different types of problems.

Knowledge tends to benifit greatly from decentralization; building railroads, not so much.
Precisely!!! Why does no one talk about the Uber drivers who are now making money and have gainful employment?

5 Mistakes in Design Process While Building Large Scale Products
How to Put "I Don't Know" Back into the Learning Process
Why do you think you would you drift apart if you take on client work?

I think there's strong demand for iOS and Android dev, you probably can work out if you're good at that.

You could take on client work and meanwhile try to work out a pivot for your startup? I went to a talk by a succesful company that did just that (they were failing, took on client work while working part-time on their products, then found an opportunity and gambled at the iPad launch, then became succesful and sold out).

It probably sucks to remove your focus from your startup, but it seems it's not going to grow in its current incarnation.

If you took on outside money, it's a whole different story.

Take it as random advice from a guy on the Internet that hasn't had a startup yet :) but I hope at least I asked some interesting questions.
Different tests are a good idea, but the devil is in designing them.

They'd have to both tell us something useful about the possibly-intelligent agent in question and not disallow anyone who we would consider an intelligent agent (more specifically, there's a whole suite of tests we could hypothetically use that would need to be discarded because they'd rule out entire sets of humanity as non-intelligence.

> I bet i3 needs a little tinkering too.

IIRC, the only real tinkering I did was to re-jig the navigation shortcuts to resemble VIM bindings. From a user's perspective i3 is comparable to xmonad, but configuration wise it's an order of magnitude simpler.

i3 does, however, come at a price. Not being inside a fully functional DE means a lot of normally trivial tasks require active thought and engagement, at least at first, since they will have to either be handled via the command line or by seeking out the correct application (e.g. managing wi-fi connections, handling dual-monitors & monitor rotation, etc.)

If you like a native app (OSX, iOS and Windows), take a look at http://www.notebooksapp.com

It's very clean, allows markdown, and the best feature is that it keeps your content as files on disk, so even if you stop using the app, you still got your content (not hidden away in a database). Plus you can easily use dropbox, rsync or whatever to sync it. It's a really great app.

Postgres-XL: Scalable Open Source PostgreSQL-based Database Cluster
Yeah, if only Ken Rockwell was not entirely sane, and said things that make sense for the market segment he refers too.

If anything, it's the pixel-peepers and the "I need a bigger lens" that are non-scientific nuts (essentially gear fashion victims, who would buy a $10,000 Leica when a $1000 Nikon can give the same results).
>This is one argument I never understood. People providing taxi-like services for other people need additional licenses for street safety - sure. But what can be safer apart from that?

It appears I wasn't very clear. The checks and balances that are done by a private company are allowed to be less rigorous than government-enforced regulations. This doesn't just mean that additional licences are needed, it means that extra regulations need to be adhered to. Of course, a private company can choose to go above and beyond these regulations if they so choose, and Uber may even do this.

Ryan was saying in the video that the lifetime value of the customer could quickly approach $100 through sales of additional albums, swag, etc.
Bringing this idea to software development can be a great asset. I look at the way we currently do A/B testing. There is a disconnect between the time we release it and the time we get feedback.

It could even be the reason why so many claim A/B testing is inconclusive. If we could follow the scenario more closely in real time and track the behavior as it happens, the same numbers could mean something completely different.

It's always nice to watch Bret Victor. He reminds me that there is always room for innovation.

Tweetdeck exploit
As mentioned in the comments there are some language/font settings that are essential:

\usepackage[english]{babel}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}

Then alongside microtype the package upquote is useful too
(for correct quotes inside verbatim):

\usepackage{upquote}

If you want to include source code then listings is nice:

\usepackage{listings}

Also when creating PDF I always check with pdffonts that all the fonts really are Type1. It can happen that you don't have a package installed (such as cm-super), and if you use the default fonts you may end up with a bitmap font embedded.
Depends.

If you have high risk tolerance and won't need this money until retirement, you should deposit it in your choice of Vanguard Total Market or Vanguard Retirement 2050~2065, and forget about it for the next ~35~50 years.

If you anticipate needing to actually spend it within the next few years, or you are risk adverse, you can put it in CDs, which will earn you virtually nothing but let you withdraw it at any time. You'd probably want to do a CD ladder, which would leave you with some money maturing in any given month, so you could use it without penalties.

The $100k is also not your primary asset at this point in your life. That would be the NPV of your nascent career. Depending on one's existing trajectory, I'd strongly consider building capital in oneself as opposed to investing it in the formal markets. For example, if one cannot program, $10k invested in learning to program will probably absolutely destroy the ROI of most investments in the public markets.

Rhapsody (with the underlying Mach kernel) was the NeXTSTEP stuff in a preliminary stage of Mac-ification. The strategy of what to do with the NeXT-based OS vs. what became known as "Classic" was in flux when Rhapsody saw its first developer previews, but ultimately Rhapsody was transformed into Mac OS X. The biggest additions, IIRC, were the Carbon APIs and the Aqua UI.
Is there anything wrong with the simple approach of just adding \<space> after the command? For example:

Sensor data is one I would guess. Modern cell phones have an incredible number of sensors in them, but usually don't log the data when it's quickly sampled (accelerometers, background mic), or sample it rarely/slowly (GPS, barometer, ambient lighting) when it is logged. I would personally love to have days, weeks, or months of raw data sampled frequently.

Edit: I'd imagine this is due both to a limited amount of storage, a limited number of writes to current sold-state mediums, and energy usage, all of which this technology appears to solve.
