The submitted title is referring to the show "The Colbert Report" and not to the person, so your snark isn't even on point. That said I hope we can conclude this tedious sub-thread.
I've experimented with adding sound to my TRS-80 emulator. It seems like the only workable solution is to use the ScriptProcessorNode callback as the sole source to timing and run the emulator from there. This will still jitter if Javascript is too slow. But if the emulator is too slow, then, there is nothing you can do except report it to the user.

The graphics are done on an ordinary timer which redraws based on the cached video state from the audio callback. JSMESS could probably do the same.

You'll always have a serious problem when there is more than one timer. If I could change the APIs, I'd add a requestAudioVideoFrame() timer callback where you would supply both the video (rendering) and the audio buffer for a given segment of time. That would also give the browser more control over the situation.
There's pretty good evidence that the entity we call Ray Kurzweil is just an early prototype of Google Brain built by Jeff Dean.

That was an unnecessary distraction from the get-go. How did Nokia/Microsoft ever expect to compete with the Huaweis or Xiamois of the world on price with an OS that is clearly seen as 'not theirs'. Odd to begin with.
As mentioned in the post, there are TONS of options, I just mentioned a few ones :)
Hey HN would love to hear your take on the approach to auto-scroll. I'm not sure why the other implementations don't use the natural scrolling gesture as the means to set the auto-scroll speed so I decided to build it and show it to the community myself. Eager to hear what people think!

I'm just thankful I don't work at either of those companies. 18,000 is a huge number and a big blow to company morale, but that letter is the icing on the cake. The corporate sleaze speak was extremely thick, and while Nadella did avoid the term "headcount" he never referred to any of those laid off as "people" (only jobs, roles, workers, positions).

At the very least he could've added a thankyou for your hard work, or an apology to those that no longer have a job.
Its also smaller. However, if they identified the target and aimed the missile visually, its possible that they mistook a 777@10000m for an An-26@7500m. I doubt the rebels have much in the way of air search radar. If this was a rebel misidentification, what probably happened is that they fired the missile line-of-sight with the seeker active.

It is true about the ads being their primary source of revenue, I've thought long and hard about the concept but eventually accepted the ads as being necessary to fund the other projects they work on.

Their research isn't solely focused on gathering data for ads. If these technologies can be applied to ads then it helps justify large costs because it'll increase revenue, but that is not the sole driving motivator for their moonshots and research.

Hopefully the percentage of people who are passionate about futuristic concepts and visionary ideas will rise in the near future. The faster we get to a post-scarcity society the greater chance we, as an intelligent species, will have to survive long-term.

Just my 2 cents. I love them as a company and have a huge amount of respect for what they've done and for sticking to their founding principals of transparency and "do no evil" (for the most part, within reason for a company of their size).

I know it's pretty subjective and irreverent to bring Apple into any Google debate, the amount of people who put them on a pedestal drives me crazy. Anything I can do to redirect money from going to Apple is a positive thing in my opinion.
I'd been watching this subject with great interest when MSFT first made the announcement several years ago. And watching hopefully, at that. XBox Live accounts for a large share of Netflix streaming usage, and in theory, MSFT could have developed shows the way Netflix is doing so. Unfortunately, as a lot of people in this space are learning, high-quality shows cost top dollar and take awhile to develop. They require a unified, sustained political commitment from the company, all the way up to top brass.

Netflix is able to develop shows because Netflix's core business model involves shows. Original/exclusive offerings are seen as key to maintaining its share of subscribers against would-be competitors. There is a direct correlation between Netflix's content selection and Netflix's subscriber base. Microsoft, on the other hand, is a much larger and more diversified business, with a more complex org structure. XBox is one division of many, and XBox Entertainment Studios was one group of many under the XBox aegis. It's hard to argue, at the C-level view, that XBox Entertainment Studios was core to Microsoft's business. And I can't imagine it was ever going to secure the sort of long-term, serious commitment that it required. In some ways that's a shame. In other ways, I totally get it.
People are thinking about this all wrong.

The YC network benefits greatly from having these types of startups in the network. Even if Product Hunt doesn't raise a single dollar in funding or make a single dollar in revenue, they have shown they are able to deliver customers to early stage startups. And by bringing them into the fold, other YC companies get preferential access to a new way to find customers. It's clearly a win/win.

I just finished the second book myself and had the same thought. All the various escarpments and planae are hard to keep track of. There's a lot of geography in those books.
The Erlang abstract machine (BEAM or LING) is pretty close to what I'd expect a modern, timesharing Lisp machine to look like. I wonder whether it's be possible to translate it directly to hardware, or if you'd have to make practical concessions around e.g. reduction-counting.
I think everyone is assuming it was an accident. Coming at it from the direction of trying to explain why anyone would choose to shoot down a passenger plane probably doesn't help clarify the situation.
NY is not known for following the constitution.
You might want to add "Connection: close" to the request. Otherwise the server won't close the connection immediately, but only after a keep-alive timeout. In the meantime, your program will be waiting to read on the socket. In some cases you might even get an additional 408 response. Changing protocol to 1.0 should also work.
The stories in which the Donetsk People's Republic -- the initial claim that they had the missiles didn't come from Kiev, though the claim that they had used them to shoot down this plane did -- claimed to have captured the Buk missiles [0] were before this incident (and they've apparently shot down Ukrainian military aircraft recently beyond any altitude that MANPAD missiles would reach), so the furious backpedal and claiming they don't have the technology now is somewhat dubious.

It could, though, be an honest retreat from a propaganda misrepresentation that has since become more of a burden than a benefit.

(Incidentally, I upvoted the parent because even though the claim may be dubious, noting the fact that the claim has been made is a valuable addition to the conversation, IMO.)

What can you do with 12,000 employees with minimal experience and skills who have been working on a long-standing but now obsolete product line that was manpower intensive, when your business is being completely realigned around other product lines that still make a profit but rely on small numbers of highly experienced staff?

Gal Civ (1 and 2) were pretty fun, and the AI is genuinely top notch; way better than typical 4X AI, in that it actually ran the different civilizations as having different interests, rather than all against you. Brad Wardell has garnered a lot of attention (not all of it good), but Stardock's stuff is generally pretty good.

Not at all. Here is the equivalent pseudo code:

Function1Async()
.flatMap(a -> a, Function2Async(a))
.map( (a, b) -> nonAsync(a, b))
.flatMap(c -> AnotherThingAsync(c))
.error(e -> catch)
.complete( finally );

The real code would be a little more complicated but not much.

Yeah i agree. When the child is shown the labeled example of an elephant and infers the traits that make an elephant an elephant, her previous visual experiences provide background knowledge that restricts the space of hypotheses she considers. After all, there's an infinite set of logically consistent hypotheses.

Nevertheless, if you provide your machine system with the video of all the child's visual input, it still won't generalize well from single examples, the way children do effortlessly.

No. The total mass above a distance H from the top of the tower is

M(H) = \rho \int_0^H a(h) dh

where a(H) is the cross-sectional area of the tower a distance H from the top, and \rho is the density of the tower material. This total mass must obey

M(H) = a(H) * r / g

where r is the force per unit area that the material can support and g is the acceleration of gravity. Setting the right-hand sides of the two equations together and differentiating by H gives

r/(g \rho) (d/dH)a(h) = a(h)

which means

a(h) = exp(h (g \rho/r))

> And the weight doesn;t have to be exactly evenly distributed at the bottom, all that's necessary is that some of tghe weight of the upper cneter bricks is suppoorted by the lower outer bricks.

The distribution problem gets worse and worse as the taper continues, because more and more of the new area is further away form the center.
Very strange comment, I'm sure execs expected all of this when the deal was done. Their expected outcome probably does not look "catastrophic" to them.

Actually, I would say that by the time the deal rolled around the catastrophe had already played itself out at Nokia. It's sad what happened to Nokia, but the acquisition is the least of it.

And here I stand, having just ordered a OnePlus One, after I forgot all about that thing until I got a 'Here is an _invitation_ to buy our product, valid for 24 hours' mail.

I guess they succeeded to work around my own "Let me think about that" protection.
I have to agree with this assessment. If Verizon is claiming they have green in their network with 34% utilization to Level 3, then the connection between Level 3 and Verizon is lacking.

Is it a simple fix like Level 3 & Netflix claim? If so, what is Verizon's advantage to continue the slow Netflix. Netflix is really slow for Verizon users, it is very obvious for all their subscribers.
It is getting there, as can be seen by the Contributions graph in that link. Aside from the fact it's mostly from Araq, the graph looks very healthy and encouraging. I actually just started using it for my next biggest project, after a week or so of looking into haskell, Ocaml, and Lua.

The USGS really is great. It's one part of my government that I'm very proud of.

Microsoft already closed MSN TV and various Microsoft Game Studios (Aces Studio, Carbonated Games, Digital Anvil, Ensemble Studios, FASA Studio, Hired Gun). (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MSN_TV , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Microsoft_Studios )

At this year's E3 game industry trade show, the Kinect2 sensor was not even mentioned. So some newspapers speculated that the Kinect2 is dead. (e.g. http://www.heise.de/newsticker/meldung/E3-Microsoft-begraebt... (German))
Verizon's advantage should be obvious: they also sell TV service which is in direct competition to Netflix. If Netflix works poorly, that's more customers potentially signing up for FiOS TV.
That's also ending, as transistors will not get cheaper and chips will probably not get larger in the future.
Well it could be then that the backers stand a chance of winning a lawsuit against Yogscast for misleading them. Still I think it does depend a lot on the screens the backers saw when they commited their pledges. If those clearly said Winterkewl llc, then who knows what a judge would say?
Nice landing page. The use of videos here is really apt and powerful.

What sad Strawman are you trying to manufacture here? It's absolutely MS's strategy to acquire offensive and broad patents to anti-competitively use to hurt their competition and devalue their products instead of trying to compete on merit.

Google has every right to be able to develop their OS and license it at whatever terms or cost they see fit especially when they ultimately benefit consumers. MS tried to use their cash warchest (acquired from their Monopoly markets) to acquire offensive obvious, broad landmine patents that they hide behind NDA's so to not disclose exactly what patents Android is supposed to have infringed on so that they can extort licensing fees from Android Manufacturers into artificially raising the prices of Android devices.
Ask HN: Experience selling data/stats from your Startup/Bootstrapped business?
Does anyone have experience on selling the data they've gathered from their web/mobile/whatever app?

I'm not talking about user/demographic information. More interested in using usage data to compile reports on an industry that might have some $ value to other businesses. For example, if you had an invoicing app and gathered information on companies industries could you sell a report on average invoice size and payment terms by industry?

I have a couple of SaaS apps in the property industry which gathers quite a bit of information that I think could be useful (without including any user/demographic data) but not sure where to start with this or even if it's worthwhile.

Does anyone have experience of this and do you have any advice on where to start?
You know, I wouldn't rule it out. The CIA/state dept does have a terrible track record and is clearly involved on the pro-west side in Ukraine.
