Bad electronic record system is probably worst then paper based one. Good electronic record system might be better then paper based one.

I don't disagree about its technical meaning, but this entire debate is about what it OUGHT to be so that NON-technical people have an easier time.

In that respect, "kill" is probably better, since it accurately conveys common ideas like "irreversible" and "messy".

Slight addendum for your slight (and correct) corrections :) Both games had been in self-funded development a long time and had achieved some degree of critical acclaim before Kickstarter and signing on with WB, respectively. I might argue that their previous work had created the conditions for them to earn those victories and reap the benefits.

For Bastion, it's probably good to be explicit that WB did not provide them funding. The benefit to Supergiant was access to advertising and speeding their way through the publishing process for Xbox Live Arcade. A significant victory they sought out and earned, to be sure.

In the case of FTL, the success of the Kickstarter may have generated some additional buzz because of how much they beat their goal. But the reason they beat their goal was that their game had already been discovered and appreciated (even in its early form) by a community of people passionate about games. Without organized marketing on their part, aside from showing the game to many of their colleagues.
Amazing.

again, no.

while i feel your pain and the cognotive dissonance associated with "it can't be that i don't make decent games! it has to be someone else's fault!" -- i have hard, objective data that disagrees with you.

i have assembled the funnel-and-churn data. i've put together the reports greenlighting games because the ltv has exceeded the cost of acquisition. i've used average instead of median so our whales inflated the reports. and after all of that, i've seen their 30-day retention numbers still stagnate.

i lived that for two years.

then, the retention bottom fell out. we burned through all of the naive and all that was left was a cadre of seasoned "me too" recognizing gamers.

also please note, i'm not saying marketing isn't important, it's just not even close to "the most important" especially depending on the situation. if you have a giant budget with a ton of developers, it's pretty important. if you are a small shop where everyone has day jobs and you can endure slower, organic growth? it's not worth the money.
We're going to see lots more of these claims by patent-infringement defendants, whose trial counsel will figure, what the hell, let's give it a shot.

Therein lies the practical problem with the Supreme Court's decision in Alice Corp. [1]: Just about any new technology could be described as a "generic implementation" of an abstract idea --- which the Court said is unpatentable. The Court gave us little or no useful guidance for distinguishing between an unpatentable generic implementation and a patentable "invention."

Could it maybe be worthwhile to augment the data with simple image features? E.g. the human visual system is believed to rely on high-level/top down as well as on local/bottom up features (although that might also be simply because of the necessity to compress things for the low nerve count in the optical nerve).

Along with the other comments, I'd say it depends on how you use your bike.

For two years, my bike was my only mode of transit. My commute to work was about five miles. I spent about $800 on my bike. I've ridden cheaper bikes, and cheaper bikes can definitely work, but nothing ever broke on my bike, I had a good guarantee on the frame, the parts were under warranty and everything worked really well. Fwiw I took a different bike and circled Ireland on it. Similar idea. Spent about $900 total on that bike plus the touring gear (which is more sensible because it was a really specialized use)

The tires I had were something like $80 each as well.

If I were still commuting by bike everywhere, I'd really quickly consider spending $800 on something like this if I could get a guarantee on the lifetime of the unit. I love biking, but having a bike with an assist would just mean I'd have biked more, and been okay going farther out without thinking "Crap. I so don't want to bike there"

I think you're right, in that they'd sell more if they were cheaper, but if you're bike is your primary form of transit, and you have no car, $800 to make that more realistic isn't really that much, if you ask me.

Airbnb Etiquette: A Wake-Up Call to Unprofessional Hosts
The responses are not encouraging. They're either incremental improvements on things invented before 1980 (often before 1970) or the poster is misinformed and the idea pre-dates 1980.

The WWW is actually a 1960s idea. Watch Engelbart's demo.

Sometimes I wonder if the problem is the massive growth of free market ideology (market fundamentalism) since 1970: Ayn Rand, the Reagan Revolution, libertarianism, etc. The free market is heavily biased toward extracting pre-existing value and things with short time horizons. It rarely spends money on very speculative R&D, and the culture that it begets is a hustler culture of quick-to-market, quick-to-exit, etc. Things like the Engelbart demo are the product of very smart people with very rough, flexible deadlines sitting around and thinking a lot. There's no way to monetize that. A related problem is that invention itself is hard to monetize except via patents... the innovator often loses in the market to fast followers.

In machine learning terminology we could say that the free market is a greedy hill climbing algorithm prone to converge on local maxima and unlikely to cross fitness valleys.
I have definitely reworked my short-term plans, and I've set aside the long-term hopes to focus on getting into a local community college. With $1K tuition rates, it's a huge difference from Stanford, but I'm still trying to work out how get in before the term starts. The past few days have been a rollercoaster, and I'm glad I waited the lowest parts out because I feel a lot better. Thank you for finding this thread and sharing - it helps!
Also excellent are the Sonoma County Rye and the 1512 Spirts Aged Rye (their white rye is also good, but hardly what most people expect from rye; don't miss their wheat whiskey either.)

By far my favorite rye though is Goldrun: http://oldworldspirits.com/rye.html It's got some rare flavor notes, bready and yeasty almost--I like to say it has a "cheerios" note?--while still having some spice.

That said: I also love pretty much every bottle of High West I own (something like eight at this point.) They're all from the one source. Oh no. They're still well selected, blended, and aged. They make great drinks. Who cares if they're from the mainstream sources? I'm into drinking, not being a hipster.

In my opinion the 10.000 hours rule is wrong (recently there even was a HN post about the 10.000 hours rule being wrong).

Your third point seems to be true, because I can't remember one of the few well made mobile games not being at least decently successful.

Your other points seem to resonate with my observations as well, may I know if you're involved in the game industry?
(1) “to detect contact with the touch-sensitive display at a first predefined location corresponding to an unlock image”; (2) “to continuously move the unlock image on the touch-sensitive display in accordance with movement of the detected contact”; (3) “to unlock the hand held electronic device if the unlock image is moved from the first predefined location on the touch screen to a predefined unlock region on the touch-sensitive display”; and (4) “visual cues to communicate a direction of movement of the unlock image required to unlock the device.”

It really sounds like Apple's lawyers are struggling to make "drag the image to unlock" sound more complicated than it really is.

India is a rapid growth market. Amazon is worth $150 billion If FK can win that market in India and potentially expand to China as disposable income in the area grows, then these investors will see a large return.

At $1 billion this seems like a big gamble, but it does not seem like a naive or short sighted one.

Not really. I am a bit of a cycling enthusiast, but the roads in the type of places I'm talking about are designed for cars first, with anything else a vague afterthought, and it shows.

Main roads being 3+ lanes and with huge parking lots on each side and little to no sidewalks or pedestrian lights on traffic lights. Residential roads are wide and have the houses, trees, mailboxes, etc set way back, have no street parking, and also often have no sidewalks, or sidewalks that do strange things like start and end randomly. All of this creates kind of a feedback loop where the wide spaces encourage driving fast, and the usual lack of obstacles and good bike lanes and sidewalks discourages walking and cycling. The feedback is that the faster drivers and fewer other non-drivers tends to discourage anybody else from getting around any other way. Make it so that it feels nerve-wracking to cross the street or cycle a few blocks, and virtually nobody will do it.

Can you offer some specific examples where an open source software project has suffered harm as a result? I generally trust your judgement, but would like to see the details.

I also appreciate the lack of IAALBTDNCLA in your post, although it might seem at odds with the disclaimer of warranties you advise. Is this omission a considered decision?
What a fascinating proposition. FYI: This blog article is from 2013 and is about scientific papers written in 2008 and 2005. A few minutes of cursory Googling turns up nothing else.
It is always DO vs. Linode because both are relatively stable, relatively good for their price points. Tbh, the only real reason I use Linode over DO is the fact I've seen higher restarts on my DO nodes and the fact I've attracted DDoS's at a size Linode shrugs about.

the key to current and future advertising is not manipulating the person, but rather taking advantage of the fact that everyone wants something.

modern advertisements are making an effort not to sell you their specific 'ProductX', but to sell you products that you desire/need from their outlet. That feels more honest than advertising did in the past, at least now they are assessing the relevance of the ads you're exposed to and making efforts to target.

I will, however, agree that relying on the needs of others to fill your coffers is probably immoral -- but that condemns most of marketing, and I don't know how well that opinion will fly here.
I hear ya. I was really hoping to see some code for how a genuine health-impacting game would work. I originally joined HN with a desire to learn to code in order to write such a "game" (simulation) and a lot has changed in the years I have been here. One thing that hasn't changed: I still can't really code (I know a little html and css) and I still don't know how I will ever write my simulation.

Perhaps it doesn't matter. The world seems mostly not interested in (or openly hostile to) what I know about such things.

I was looking at this today & yesterday. Boding well, these results look right for GPUs because they're in parity w/ Duane Merril's GPU BFS work.

Less clear is whether MapGraph beats existing single node HPC systems. In particular, instead of comparing to GraphLab, I'd love to see comparisons to GraphChi or TurboGraph!

The importance here is that huge graphs are now possible on single-node, and once these techniques get combined into distributed ones, most real-world graphs can be solved in real-time!

Ask HN: What is your full stack?
What technologies do you use for your full-stack?
You can find plenty of exceptions, but what the 'app experts' are telling you is generally correct, at least about the Apple ecosystem. Bunching up a lot of downloads into a small time period right after launch maximizes your chance of showing up anywhere users might actually browse to and discover serendipitously.

The Android marketplaces are a bit better for iterative learning. Although iOS then Android is the dominant pattern, you wouldn't be the first company to launch quietly on Android, iterate, and then come to iOS with a product informed by what they've learned from their Android launch.

Sure. I posted mainly because I thought literacy rate over time was interesting, but wanted to post more context than just the graph. Looks like others found the rest of the page interesting.
This is a better description of what I was talking about. IMHO, suburbia certainly doesn't make it impossible to know your neighbors, but it kinda subtly discourages it, while more tightly-packed cities subtly encourage it.

The super-outgoing will always know their neighbors, and the super-quiet never will. A little proximity and shared interests/spaces tends to help those in the middle along some.
This is an early-stage project that is an infrastructure play. Can be seen as a replacement for current "secure email" providers that also has a complete infrastructure attached so that as the network grows, the likelihood that you have to "log into someone else's mail infrastructure to access it" decreases. Feel free to sign up, tell friends, send messages to them, etc. (please forgive the self-signed cert)
The thing about going back to my reservation home (the one that is offering a place to stay) is that there is absolutely no internet available. So, I've chosen to suck this up. Last year I did a 500+ mile walk, before I started heavy therapy, and I camped out every night. It's almost the same. For the time being, I'm happier. I've already had 2 interviews and applied wherever I could for work.

The second video gave me an idea: it would be really great if the thing was damaged and could create a model of its damaged self in a simulation... Then it could play out different gaits (presumably at faster-than-reality speeds) to determine an optimal new gait. It doesn't seem like this team is too far away from that.
