Yes I definitely think there is a real need for HUD for our car. Kudos for the Navdy team for such a brave attempt.

Few challenging tasks ahead for Navdy team like:

1. I get tonnes of marketing SMS, It should recognize which SMS should be delivered to HUD might depend the ratio of conversation I make with the sender and decide based on that? (Yeah I live in other side of the planet)

2. I might not need integration with Twitter and other social media accounts they are definitely not meant to get my focus while driving

3. As per other HN commenter, it would be awesome if it can recognize the signals or detect objects ahead of some 10m and warn me and get me a path way to ride? determine the pathway depending on the car dimensions ? (Yes, I live in India and commuting here in city is really makes you very skillful in driving :), something like in Captain America 2 film wind sheild? Yeah I know easier said than done )

4. May be get them the HUD view of rear and help me to drive reverse without need to turn around ? (Asking for too much?)

But definitely worth an attempt.
I agree with the both of you! I prefer reading on my iPad, but I was often annoyed at how annotations were either stuck on the thing, or harder to make.

GoodReader (iOS) is decent for making and syncing pdf annotations. It's still not as easy as a laptop, but sometimes the benefit of reading on an iPad is worth it for me.

For epub files, however , I almost always exclusively use my iPad. There's an app called Marvin that allows you to instantly select (or select + highlight) a sentence, and grow the selection with one tap. I find that almost more convenient than my laptop. It also syncs with Calibre, although that can take a bit of work to set up properly.

I picked up programming as well. However, I also played outside, talked to people, did well at school... I have nothing against the image of the stereotypical herbivore men/"neckbears", but I have goals in my life that I don't think I would be able to accomplish with a computer, goals like sports, travels, girlfriend/wife/family, ...

My brother, on the other hand, only played computer games. For him, the restriction was even more essential.

Also, I agree that dramas and gossip are not an interesting or worthy part of "real life" - however, gossiping and drama over facebook is even worse, because it can haunt you forever.
I hate this new HTTP.
They seem to have taken a beautifully simple concept and added so much complexity it's ugly and horrible and awful.

Stick an RFID tag on every customer's posterior when they arrive at the restaurant.

Bingo, now you can track which rear end is sitting where.

Seriously though, there are some good options with RFID tags. Does it really have to be per chair, or could it be people per table?

You could put an RFID chip on each menu (though the menu would need to be left at the table for the duration of the customer's visit, and you would always need to provide 1 menu per customer).

If you didn't want to use menus then you could use something else instead, as long as you could RFID tag it.

When you go into clothes store changing room you often get given a tag with a number on it. That tag number defines that number of clothing items you have taken into the changing room with you and it reduces theft.

You could operate a similar system, but based on the customers sitting at the table. It won't tell you which seats are being sat on, but it will tell the occupancy per table.
I don't get why you got downvoted.

I agree with your opinion. More data, even if relevant and not tweets, doesn't always mean better. The purpose of displayed information should be to augment decision making. If something is irrelevant to making a call, like engine temperature being in proper range, it should be out of sight because otherwise it's a (mild) distraction.

>> I just had an long and very frustrating conversation with a young programmer who recently discovered functional programming, and thinks it can solve every problem in the world.

I'm struck by A) the arrogance of such a statement, and B) how completely unsurprised I am by it. The fact that the rest of the article is nitpicky stuff of no real consequence, with a heaping helping of strawmen and goal-post moving, only supports this. This is a person who fears being wrong and is defending their turf.

For the proverbial "you", because this is an endemic problem in our industry:

It's not necessary to defend turf, both if you are right and if you are wrong. Obviously, if you are wrong, it saves you time to have someone else figure it out for you and then you can adjust accordingly (you're going to adjust once proven wrong, right?).

But if, in some weird happenstance that has yet to be demonstrated in history, you're right, you have expended no effort to defend your position. Sometimes, you have to let people learn their lessons the hard way. Let the youngsters run in their enthusiasm and trip and fall on their face sometimes. It's the only way to build a healthy fear of novelty-for-the-sake-of-novelty, and instill some critical thinking as a matter of course.

It's not necessary to be "right" all the time. Just because there are people in the world who are "Doing it Right" versus "Doing it Wrong", doesn't mean you have an ordained duty to inform them.

Because I'm really getting sick and tired of being asked "why didn't you use <whatever I like> for that <whatever you wrote>?"
Sprint abandoning bid for T-Mobile amid regulatory challenges
I'd love to know too! I use Emacs for everything except C++, because I've never found anything that works as well for code navigation and completion as visual assist. (Setup time is a factor, I admit. I'm not saying visual assist isn't a bit ropey in places.)

(As a text editor Visual Studio isn't great but it's perfectly adequate and I generally get by by copying and pasting to and from Emacs if I need to do anything complicated.)
One aspect of this many seem to forget is HTTP as a backend protocol, you will have to set up certificates and keep them up to date there too.
It's fairly easy. In fact there's a website where you pay $50 and plug in some numbers (like annual inflation, block mining times, which hashing algorithm you want etc) and they generate the code for you, which is just a github fork with some of the numbers changed.

Then you literally run the code on your computer and you've started your own cryptocurrency. No joke that's it.

It's the reason why people think crypto will be so resilient because it's just code anyone can run, distributed like torrent technology and hard to take down. What gives it value are network effects, mostly. If you created a superior facebook today, it just wouldn't take off. Look at Google+, perhaps not superior but, the network effects just aren't there even when they on-boarded hundreds of millions of users semi-automatically. There's just no reason to go to a platform where you have 0-3 friends and leave a platform where you have 250 friends. Similarly with currency, there's no reason to buy a currency that only 250 merchants accept worldwide (the closest one being 80 miles away), over e.g. the dollar. Bitcoin is the first big exception but it's clear it's struggling with adoption, there's maybe 2m users at most because there's only about 100k merchants taking it, less than 1%. But that's a million times better than any other cryptocurrency.
I'm only a single sample, it's true. But I've been using headphones in one form or other pretty much daily for over 30 years and I've not yet noticed any deterioration (I have relatively poor hearing due to childhood disease, but that was before I started using headphones, and it's not got noticeably worse in the past 30+ years).

Also, noise cancelling headphones can allow you to listen to music at quieter than the office's ambient volume.

This is no longer true. They modified the algorithm, and right now the amount of ether produced will depend on the amount of ether sold in a presale.

In other words - nobody knows now how much ether will there be.
It's also partly convenience. iPads are seen as 'good' (whether justifiably so or not), and rather than pore over the specs and weigh the pros and cons, many will just get an Apple device and be done with it, if the budget allows for this.

I actually switched to Apple a few years ago for precisely that reason. I used to have a desktop pc that I manually updated, but I found that it took too much time. I then switched to a Dell laptop that was pretty decent. But finding the right model took a while.

When I finally got annoyed at reinstalling windows every year (or so) and when I needed a new laptop anyways, rather than doing all the research again, I just went for a MacBook. The convenience was a major factor in this decision, and after spending a week or two getting used to 'this weird operating system', I've been happy with Macs ever since, despite the fact that I might be able to get cheaper/better with a bit more work.

I guess in a roundabout way status did play a role ('apple just works').

Just small note: This is not a pair-to-pair competition to consistent hashing.

This algorithm requires consistent mapping between nodes and (consecutive) integers--that's not something you get for free in distributed systems where nodes may join or leave the pool at any time.
It's NOT an investment. It's a developer resource, e.g. if you're a programmer or company looking to build an ethereum project. If you don't even know how to buy it (i.e. you haven't a clue what ethereum is, that they have 1 website with all their information and their fundraiser) you shouldn't buy it because you're probably not a developer.

In the same way you wouldn't buy a developer-license for the new Google Android version, or a developer-license for Google Glass. Ethers are the de facto dev-license, they're what's necessary to actually utilize the ethereum network. You don't need one.

I love bitcoin and crypto can be a great investment, but ethereum isn't it. And I'm quoting the people trying to sell you this thing. They've said themselves it's not an investment.

How many hours are you working?
It's ok for reading websites on the couch. Less cumbersome than a laptop. Also for reading books. They're devices for consuming content, not creating it.
I wonder if something like this would be possible:

(list (:myint 1) (:mystring "two") (:mysymbol 'three))

?
The first call to dispatch should probably have been

(dispatch [:deleted-todo todo-id])

Though personally, I would prefer to define dispatch as

(defn dispatch [tag & args]
(put! dispatch-chan (apply vector tag args)))

instead and then change the second call to

(dispatch :txs tx-data root-cursor)

(Also as a style thing, I'd call it dispatch! since it has side effects)

Good article though and describes something very similar to what I'm doing in my own Om project. I've abstracted the dispatching into om-tools mixins though, so you can do something like this:

(dom/div
{:on-click (.sender owner :click-event)}
"Click Me")

And when the div is clicked, :click-event is dispatched (I also have the concept of component ids and if the component has an id, it is included in the event, so you can register for all events with a given tag, all events from a given component, or only events from a given component with a given tag).

So far, its working quite well.

EDIT: fixed typo in the code
Ah ok. Personally not comfortable buying any until I know the total supply available, or a better idea of the total supply.

I assume that it isn't actually orbiting the comet, but instead is just adjusting to follow the same orbit as the comet, right?
So what if Ethereum is lackluster from a technology standpoint? That isn't the point of Ethereum. The point is to raise a large amount of BTC.

Not every potential Bitcoin contributor, Vitalik included, is OK with pouring their heart out into furthering the cause of Bitcoin, while having a grotesquely small personal BTC stash compared to early adopters of Bitcoin who did relatively _nothing_ to earn theirs. Unfairness breeds unfairness, and hyped up Bitcoin IPOs are the natural result.

You don't need $20M to make a cryptocurrency. Case in point: Counterparty. I don't know why you brought them up seeing as they didn't do an IPO at all. Counterparty is actually an excellent counter to Ethereum's marketing. They've been around for roughly as long as Ethereum has been marketing itself as "Bitcoin Evolved", but as opposed to Ethereum, Counterparty has in that timeframe actually produced a working decentralized Bitcoin stock market and derivatives exchange with a marketing and development budget of roughly zero.
That's correct. And because the orbit forces it to slowly overtake the comet, it needs to slow down periodically to stay at 100km of it.
>so we often work up to 1.5 to 2 times (60-80 hours is very common) over our official salaried hours for free.

Take this with a grain of salt, it really depends on where you live. I live in the Ohio area and of everyone I went to college with and everyone I have ever worked with I have never met someone that has worked more than 45 hours a week.
Learning to code but struggling? Interviews with developers
My analysis of Ethereum:

It's economically limited. Ignoring the implementation, we could conservatively say that some interesting web applications are convertible into the "Dapp" form. Right now, these applications are presented as free to the user(free sign-up, free service) and the cost burden lies almost entirely on the service provider, while on Ethereum the user must pay some of the computation cost of their own transactions.

Why is this a problem? Surely everyone can have their personal devices mine and produce ether and then the cost of everyday use is hopefully negligible. But even if that were plausible, there's enough of a power differential between personal devices and large server farms that the latter is going to have a huge cost advantage. From this advantage market forces will seek ways to leverage out a monopoly within the Ethereum platform - to enable spammers, extract tolls, mine for personal information, or any other conceivable mechanisms of earning a profit by crushing competition. It's the position Bitcoin is facing now with the mining pool monopoly. There will be a market and it will have a price, but it won't be a huge, global one, not if it's an essentially centralized system doing centralized things underneath an inefficient blockchain layer.

In summary, currency design is hard. Proof-of-work mining basically favors capital pooling by letting the richest buy their work - although they may add some measure of anonymity, the resulting power dynamics are identical to those of gold. Changing the proof metric to another computationally-focused one only changes the cost basis, not the bottom line. As such I'm very sour on proof-of-work today as a decentralization tool. I would consider proof-of-stake or other metrics to be in a fundamentally different category, although they also need answers for the distribution problem.
Well, somewhat a solved problem if your hardware is a uniform combinatorial logic and routing mesh (E.g. a FPGA), not exactly energy efficient.

But I think this is a weird diversion: That I can't add (or pay to add) advanced security features in my CPUs even at substantial (but sane) costs is a clear reason the current closed ecosystem is inferior to an open source one.

This remains true even if even an open cpu design were not cost-effectively auditable at the hardware level, it's an orthogonal issue (and even more so— the closed cpu designs are inherently less audi-able if hardware backdoors are your concern). An open design doesn't have to be better in ever possible way to be better in some.

It's being described as a "triangular orbit" :-)

"Rosetta will, follow, at least for now, a three-legged triangular orbit that requires a small thruster burn at each apex. The legs are about 100 km long and it will take Rosetta between three and four days to complete each one."

http://blogs.esa.int/rosetta/2014/08/04/whats-happening-in-r...
It's moving under power in a trajectory around it at the moment. I would call that orbiting, even if it's not due to the gravitational pull of the comet.

What does that have to do with the public-facing wifi? I suppose if there's any radio connection and they have hard-coded credentials, the "public-facing" part of it doesn't really matter as much, but still, it's kinda basic stuff to airgap critical networks from the public.
What a fascinating, seeming convoluted (but clearly intentional and purposeful), flight path. Fascinating stuff, and it's amazing it has that much residual thrust available.
I watched ESA's livestream this morning and they explained that Rosetta is actually just co-orbiting the Sun with 67P as of now. They're making it slowly drift to a few different directions and measuring the acceleration caused by the comet's gravity, so they can build an accurate model of the mass and density distribution of such an irregularly shaped object.
Nope, because then they wouldn't be able to charge services $120/month to see if they were one of the ones compromised.
AFAIK they're only doing it for a while to measure 67P's mass and density distribution, so they can calculate a "real" orbit for Rosetta later (but it will still require regular adjustments due to the highly irregular shape of the comet).
Ember has components, simpler alternatives to angular's IMO complex directives. That's just personal taste though.

That, and the router is amazing. Plus there's an actual focus on data, as opposed to angular's free for all

If it's "Only metadata" then why is it so valuable that you have collect it?

No, if you want information about me - you need probable cause and a warrant. Thanks.

But if you really want to make a case for it, collect metadata on each and every person employed by the government not just voted in representatives, but their staff and special interests too and make it publicly accessible for a year before seeking to implement legislation.

Based on the fact that you didn't mention doing it, I am assuming you're missing out on a brilliant opportunity for hijinks here. Suggestion - take an alka-seltzer and some red food dye (I'm not sure if you can drip food coloring directly onto an alka-seltzer slowly enough that the dye is absorbed without causing the alka-seltzer to foam up, but probably you can experiment with something like this) and hide it in your mouth ahead of time. Loudly proclaim that it's harmless to drink MilliQ. Take a big beaker of MilliQ and drink it, allowing plenty of it to reach the alka-seltzer. Pause for half a second, start to look uneasy, grab your stomach, then start allowing blood-red foam to spill out of your mouth. Fall to the ground shaking and moaning.

Bonus points if it'a "demo" you do while teaching a lab class.
