I thought you had to show investors what you were planning to do with the money before getting it?

Of course the actual budgeting will be different, but at least have a broad outline.
Does anyone remember their "scare tactics" when they rebranded? Told everyone that they were shutting down - but launched the "new GoG.com" the next day.
No, what would be interesting is everything that you said with the addition of relativistic-speed travel. Take round trips near (or over, depending on your reference) the speed of light and watch how things evolve.
And yet it's still very natural for this to be an Apple ad. It has the hallmarks - product front and center, minimalist, catchy music that isn't as mainstream.

I personally think it's very effective.
I like it. I also think that writing code with the intention of releasing it under your own name forces you to write good documentation, clean code and test properly.

Of course, just like my plans to read books every single day, I never succeeded in keeping that up.
For me Firebug seems ~2x as slow (eg, for a 1s operation in native tools, firebug takes 2s). Opening Firebug on my workstation causes a noticable pause in all activity on page for several seconds, while opening the native tools only takes about half a second. All of Firefox's dev tools are still a ways from being as fast and bug-free as the Webkit tools (both Chrome and Safari). I can't cite specific examples since I dropped Firebug in Firefox once the native tools reached a certain level of quality. I just suggest trying to use 'em and seeing if you like them more than Firebug. I did.
A Start-up Guru Has Enraged Israeli Techies
I don't see how its fundamentally a different concept. Named-data networking is a loose category of proposals, doesn't necessarily need routers to change.

Obviously you can't tell that other guy what to do but if IPFS doesn't inform that other effort then I think they are going to be wasting time.

Anyway I hope you will very seriously look at the various different approaches to NDN (with several different names) as a loose category and consider attempting to recruit from or merge with or interface with other efforts (there are many similar systems) and possibly expanding the scope a little if necessary.

We really do need a new internet.

Also what do you think of operational transformations, do they relate in any way to IPFS or future IPFS capabilities?
Yes!

Ted Nelson talks about this in this amazing and inspiring Google Talk video from 2006. He talks about the rise of packet-based networking, and how the future will be content-centric.

Instagram Game Leads Players to 'Tag' Public Spots
> "We will attempt our next water landing on flight 13 of Falcon 9, but with a low probability of success."

I'm wondering why the next water landing has a low probability of success?
> Flights 14 and 15 will attempt to land on a solid surface with an improved probability of success.

Anyone know when flight 14 is scheduled?
2. ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible to enter the Contest, you must be: (1) above the age of majority in the
country, state, province or jurisdiction of residence (or at least twenty years old in Taiwan) at the time of
entry; (2) not a resident of Italy, Brazil, Quebec, Cuba, Iran, Syria, North Korea, or Sudan; (3) not a person
or entity under U.S. export controls or sanctions; and (4) have access to the Internet as of July 22, 2014

I wonder why Italy, Brazil, and Quebec are included. The other countries are under special sanctions regimes already but I can't think of a good reason to exclude these three or why the contest would be considered illegal there.
Neglected machine learning ideas
I'd be interested as well in any recent academic research in this. The best I've seen in the wild is Dwarf Fortress, which focuses on building interesting terrain, a rich global history, and interesting local power structures and NPC behavior. I think the ultimate vision for the game is pretty ambitious, and it is slowly getting there, step by step, over the course of years.
Worth noting: I'm releasing it all under my employer's organization. I'm still making the commits and getting the 'credit.'
This and similar apps would be a lot more useful if more places had Starbucks-style optical scanners instead of the traditional barcode readers. As it is, even some companies that have Passbook integration or official in-app barcodes don't actually have scanners rolled out that can read a phone screen.
probably because it's another water landing
Might be the flight path or payload limitations.
Blast from the past. We actually built Soda Constructor into our science museum traveling exhibit on robots (Robots and Us), way back in the early 2000s:

Flight 15 is scheduled to launch November 2014.

I believe it is because of this:

> However, our next couple launches are for very high velocity geostationary satellite missions, which don’t allow enough residual propellant for landing.

Based on the press release they plan on using Falcon Heavy for this type of launch in the future but it sounds like that project isn't ready for primetime yet.
> No, the consequences were the same before and after

I'm talking about the perceived consequences, not the actual consequences. The fallacy here is to perceive low consequences at one point in time, perceive high consequences at a later time and then try to change history such that low consequences were never really perceived.

> The negligence on the intern's part was to make decisions and act without regard for risk as if he was in the low-risk window despite the evidence he was actually in the high-risk one (all the already-active PCs).

He was in a perceived low-risk window. The perceived consequence of accidental reboot was already figured in and was already perceived to be low. Else why would the F7 key be next to F6? It is certainly unfair to expect someone to perceive high-risk when everyone else perceives low-risk.

> It makes perfect sense that the punishment should reflect inappropriate regard being given for known consequences. That's what negligence is.

The perceived consequences were low-risk, therefore the known consequences were low-risk.

Go is fairly OO in its own 1970s style. JavaScript is definitely OO and not many would argue otherwise. C is not: struts don't support encapsulation directly. However, many have invented or reinvented OOP in C (including me) with void* and hand rolled virtual dispatch tables (you can even find that in Linux). Heck, how do you think the first C++ compiler was written? And you could of course do objects in assembly...it's even easy given a few macros. [1]

OOP is simply programming with objects. If you have values that contain encapsulated state, and you are instructing them to do things with that state, you have objects and are doing OOP. You can do that in any Turing complete language, but some languages support it better than others.

Apple granted 'iTime' smartwatch patent
This is a really impressive presentation -- after looking on from afar at the seemingly magical works of the demoscene, this finally helped me understand a little bit of how the magic happens. I've only got a bit of GLSL experience so far but now I want to learn a lot more.
Nope. That was one of the first things I checked.
The big difference between the two is, that Edward Snowden realized that a positive vision is needed. Full respect for whistleblowing, but people need an alternative vision of society they can work towards. I would like to see more Hackers follow this approach of inspiring people to use technology to empower people. I mean we all know that evil things happen, so there is no point in repeating it all the time. The majority of people won't care. Especially here in germany the focus is way too much on influencing the world by talking. What Edward says goes in the right direction, but the vision is still too biased towards privacy concerned people. It's not about making encryption more accessable, it's about building great products people want to use and building encryption in as a byproduct. Lets take socialnetworks for example: Facebook is highly addictive, but without real value for the consumers. They don't want to connect the world, they want to generate adrevenue. It should be possible to build a platform where communication happens in a less perverted, self-centered way with encryption added on.
I think you're being downvoted because you may have misunderstood the parent comment and replied with an analogy that makes no sense.
Startup negotiation – first engineer hire
Two non-tech founders. Bay area. Series A went well, they made about 500k. They came to me looking for a senior developer with potential for CTO to write 1st prototype and take charge of development. First few meetings went well, and they asked what I would like to be paid.

What are some guidelines for salary/equity? Would 140k and 2% seem greedy?
ROBBERS INVADE HOSPITAL, RAPE PATIENTS
I took that statement to mean they can't even attempt a landing on the next couple of launches because there will not be enough residual propellant for landing.

And then the next statement, I assume, refers to the next launches where they can attempt a landing.

EDIT: my assumption is confirmed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Falcon_9_launches

Next up are flights 11 and 12, which can't be landed.

Then 13 has the "low probability of success".

the value I get is well in excess of the value I pay by providing ad impressions.

You don't pay value. You pay a price, which provides value to the recipient. And the value received by the site being low does not mean the price is, since they're both subjective. Which is the problem with ads: for many, the price paid - the loss in privacy - is much greater than the pennies received by the advertiser. I'm glad you value your loss so low, but you shouldn't assume everyone does.
The only realistic way of providing healthcare is by an insurance system, which can be private or public.

Necessary conditions are that insurance is compulsory and that insurers cannot refuse coverage.

It should be obvious what would happen otherwise.
People are getting mad at airbnb, but they should also be getting angry with the city, demanding more enforcement of zoning laws and building codes.

I'm not really against airbnb, but I do think that communities should have a choice. In short, I think that there should be some places in a city where people can trade their own right to run a hotel out of their apartment in exchange for a legally enforced expectation that their neighbors won't do this either.

The legal structure for this is zoning. In the past, it was difficult to violate these laws (pre-internet, it took quite a bit of effort to find tenants for an illegal hotel). As a result, enforcement could be indifferent.

Some laws become obsolete with new technology, others acquire new relevance and need to be dusted off and enforced more rigorously. Airbnb will most definitely not solve this problem, they stand to profit massively by denying people the arrangement I described above - agreeing not to turn your house or apartment into a hotel in exchange for an assurance that you will not have to live next to one. We need city government to take this on and do something.
Yeah, I'm all for consolidating efforts. I'll be looking into NDN more. Though there's only so many minutes in a day-- if you can help me figure out who's great there to talk to, drop me a line juan@ipfs.io (other than Van Jacobson, ofc. will go talk to him at some point.)

> Sometimes a more hands on approach is required, especially when dealing with the elderly.

I'd say that extends to far beyond the elderly. I did the majority of my clinical training in hospitals all throughout Brooklyn, and poor compliance/follow-up was evident across the board for a number of patient populations. Persistent hounding by social workers only proved successful half the time. There are cultural and educational factors at play, in addition to blatant laziness, that I think if addressed would yield improvement.

Like you said, many of the patients just aren't tech savvy, but I'd say more are just not well-informed, educated properly on the importance of continued adherence, and actively engaged in their care. Patients are usually given a card with appointment details scribbled on for when to next see their cardiologist for their CHF, or whatever that is. The period between them walking out of their cardiologist's office to their next appointment is, I guarantee, almost never spent reflecting on their condition or actively taking steps to mitigate the complications, save for taking pills. A patient's conditions are only serious problems to them within the walls of their doctor's office. Once they leave, they're forgotten, understandably, out of fear and comfort and the chaos of life. That's why I think it's critical that a patient receive continuous education and encouragement in the interim between check-ups, to close the gaps and help maintain continuous patient self-conern.
It's not about the rocket tipping over. The use of parachutes would require the loss of landing accruacy. They want to be able to guide the first stage to a specific location (like a launch pad), and parachutes would not allow them to do this.
Multi-process Firefox (aka Electrolysis or just e10s) is till under development. If you want to test it, I recommend using Firefox Nightly (34) because it has recent e10s bug fixes and its File menu has a "Open e10s Window". You can test e10s and non-e10s windows without flipping an about:config pref or restarting Firefox. You can flip the optional pref browser.tabs.remote.autostart to true to enable e10s by default, which also enables extra "shims" for add-on compatibility so more add-ons will work than with "New e10s Window".
These are animated characters. So not only do you need to have the 'flesh' made procedurally (meshes/polygons), but also the 'bones' onto which the meshes are attached for animation.
Procedurally creating static meshes is one thing, doing the same for bones and animating it with a mesh so that it looks credible is a whole other story ...
Flight 13 will be a flight to ISS on a core without landing legs and other modifications for landing. Apparently, they swapped cores earlier, and now they have a rocket left without legs.
For all the rocket science, why can't they get a lens that deices itself?

Getting Started With Om
Where do you find a solid surface to land on except in Russia and China? You would like to fly across water or at least unpopulated areas in case a problem develops during flight and range safety needs to go for self-destruct. The USA, Europe, India and Japan all do that, because no one wants a re-run of the Long March desaster in 1996.

Flying back the opposite direction is no good because you are fighting the rotation of the Earth and are paying with extra fuel to carry the fuel needed to go back, besides coastlines are always the most densely settled areas of any country.

I can't imagine that the economics will work out, but perhaps someone else has genuine numbers to prove me wrong.
Higher level management, yes, they are. But it's fairly common to track women into middle management roles because they're "good with people" - and then write them off as not being engineers. There have been posts about that on HN not all that infrequently.

And hell, even if you don't want to consider that, it's not a blatant twisting of his words. She's the CEO of Yahoo. That's not a "waste of a good brain".
I almost fell for the Robert Half scam when I was looking for a job in the Akron area. It seemed like an interesting position. I gave up when I was forced to navigate their horrendous website that asked for completely irrelevant information. It was literally the worst website I had used in awhile. Then for months I would get offers from them, and every time I asked them to remove me from their lists and delete my profile. They always assured me they would. It got bad enough where I would just respond with a copy and paste of the previous email from the same guy of him assuring me he would remove me.

I just got a call and voicemail from them the other day too. Fortunately no email this time.
BMO - A Machine Learning toolbox based on Docker and IPython Notebook
This is not confirmed by SpaceX, but has been floating around the internet as the suspected reason.

Last year, SpaceX attempted a first stage water landing, but was not successful. Their two most recent successes on this front had at least two hardware differences from that old attempt: landing legs and heavier duty RCS thrusters. However, due to some combination of manufacturing and launch scheduling, an old core without these improvements, similar to their attempt last year, will be flying on flight 13.
Obviously you get more threads if you're a writer or even a journalist. Journalists get pretty extreme hate mail all the time.

But that's not what this article is about. It's about how it is different from what men get and about how it is more than what men get. You won't get the same reaction from writing a blog post as a man as what's described in this article.

He can come back if he's pardoned.
They will. It's not been seen to be a problem before, so they went with the simplest solution. In rockets, every ounce counts. Now they know it happens (at least sometimes) in this very novel flight regime, they'll do something about it--the linked post even says so explicitly.
I was impressed by the demo until I saw the very flat explosions that just faded out quickly, which took me out of the illusion immediately. Perhaps that's just a pre-production thing. Impressive product even if the article is sort of gushy and breathless...when I was playing Elite back in the 1980s the planets were just a circle with a smaller circle rotating on it for perspective XD
SpaceX owns some land in southern Texas. It seems that the initial idea is to have a spaceport in Brownsville, TX, and use Cape Canaveral, FL, as the landing location. In the mean time, they can practice by using floating platforms in the Atlantic.

I have a little bit of a hard time believing this: Firefox Addons can use almost all the APIs in the browser that built-in code can, and I'm at least led to believe the new debugging APIs the built-in tools are using are no exception to that rule. https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger-API seems to agree on those points. Or do you mean the tools themselves aren't extensible?

It's been a few years since I've written any Firefox code or touched XPCOM, so I could be looking on this without up-to-date information: I'd be interested if the Firebug authors or others have written any thoughts on struggles they have with this.
