German speaker here, although not native. I found German dubbing for some movies especially war or action movies better then the original some time. German has this tensity that English don't have. I watched The Matrix in German and liked it better than the Original.
> My guess is that Zeo mostly measured motion - motion correlates well with sleep, which explains why it seems "to work" for you and others, and despite that it can still be fooled by sitting still.

I tried the same thing but nothing doing. And measuring motion wouldn't get sleep phase.

> The other thing to consider is price - pretty much all of the real EEG gadgets even today come above $300, and have more than one electrode. It's "too good to be true" type of situation. What electric signal Zeo did use likely wasn't EEG, maybe some sort of skin sensor.

The Zeo did cost $300+ originally!

Thanks for your in-depth insights Sean! Followed you on Twitter, only to discover you are stalked by @FAKEGRIMLOCK, illustrator of The Lean Brand. No matter where I go, Jeremiah or The Lean Brand seems entrenched.

Your structure/formula is really valuable, I appreciate you sharing your personal way: Hypothesis, Audience Testing, Data Sources, Iteration / Perpetually Refined Core Statement. That seems to share a lot with The Lean Brand. Where that book goes further though, is into an Ecosystem of integrated aspects of organizations: Culture, Product, and Brand. Culture keeps together the Product and Brand inside the Organization, Product keeps the Culture and Brand ( externalized Organization ) relevant to the Audience, and Brand is the Organization and Audience relationship itself ( interestingly, including Vendors, Competitors, Employees, etc ). I'd be interested in your comments on The Lean Brand once it comes out, so I'd extend to you the same offer I made Bill -- if you'll do a write-up for HN, I'll gladly buy you the book to hear your opinions and learn from your experience.

Your formula/structure sounds very tried and true, but so far the only "standard" of any kind I've found has been The Lean Brand, including all aspects of internal and external thought, action, feelings, etc -- Let me know on Twitter, and I'll follow up with you on this.

By the way, impressive track record!

No, no, no. Emphatically no.

I am speaking a musician here: by the time you are earning an appreciable amount of money from album sales, you are no longer just "making a living". Most musicians that support themselves through music do it by touring and selling merchandise (including physical recordings), and musicians that get famous have usually been doing this for years before they start making money off of recordings. The only exceptions are "manufactured" pop stars, like Miley Cyrus or Ariana Grande, who get big contracts right away through high-powered connections and nepotism.

And yes, the record "fat cats" earnings are perfectly relevant in this situation. They are exploiting musician's work to become wealthy, and by supporting them, you are implicitly supporting their actions. If you want to support a band, go see their shows and buy their merchandise.

I'm posting this on HN because what the French media are doing (according to the article) amounts to something of an elegant SEO hack: if we all stopped calling them by their wannabe 'Islamic State' moniker, and uniformly started using the Daeshi label instead, that would tend to force the search rankings on their their various propaganda videos/websites down -- or force them to start using it if they want their rankings to come back up.

Not sure why but Yelp always seems inaccurate to me. I also tried to write a review once but it flagged it for some reason and it never appeared. It was a 3 star review too, neither exceptionally positive or negative.

I use TripAdvisor to find local places to eat. Usually the top 1 or 2 places are good for a given type of food. Anything under that is a mixed bag.

Posting to HN because it makes for a very elegant hack, in my view:

“It punches a hole through the morality of debt, through this idea that you owe X amount of dollars that the 1% says you owe. In reality, that debt is worth significantly less. The 1% is selling it to each other at bargain-based prices. You don’t actually owe that.”
Khosla is a PIO, but as I recall from his debate with Bryan Caplan (they were both supposed to be on the same side!) he only favors immigration of highly skilled individuals. I'm having trouble finding it, but he had very little substance behind his arguments - just a cheap slogan ("import prosperity, not poverty" or something like that). Overall it was very disappointing.

There are good arguments to be made both for and against immigration - the particular one I describe here just isn't one of them.

This could be interesting. Especially for artists using the Apple toolchain, namely Logic. It seems like a lot of stuff could then be duplicated on the desktop / mobile to give interested listeners control over various song elements.

I don't know how many people would actually be interested in that, though. It would be targeting a segment of music listeners that are extremely engaged with their music. I don't know if that market is really big enough to overcome the growing preference for streaming services.

In (I think) a slightly related topic, I sometimes listen to white noise when sleeping on the bus. I've noticed that I'll hear voices as I drift off to sleep - they sort of coalesce from the static and as I start focusing on the voices they disappear. I think it's my brain trying to make sense of the input, and as I start going to sleep the "reigns go free".

Sort of eerie. (No, I don't hear voices when I'm not listening to white noise).
"People are angels" may be as false as "people are idiots". The idea that we can build a perfect society out of humans is a profoundly false reading of human nature.
That's how they package everything that's "frustration free".

Their packaging has actually gotten very good in the last several years. They use recyclable air bags for fill, and even their tape now is paper so you can recycle the whole box as one material.

I'm pretty sure they are recorded separately in a studio. At least the high end bands.
> At the end of the experiment and after they woke up, participants had no memory of the words they heard during their sleep, though they recalled the words heard while they were awake very well. So not only did they process complex information while being completely asleep, but they did it unconsciously

I think that even while awake, the decision making happens first unconsciously, then it gets brought into our consciousness.

You think that you are thinking about it, but actually you're just waiting for your subconscious to arrive at the answer and tell it to you.

The degree to which hotels seem to rely on tripadvisor reviews for feedback is pretty crazy. Every hotel manager i've worked with has been completely glued to tripadvisor, and the most important factor in every decision they make seems to be how it affects tripadvisor reviews.
I went to a Neal Stephenson talk where he argued that the main reason we see so many dystopian themed TV shows and movies is because they're cheap. He argued that it's cheaper to depict a dytopian future than a utopian one.
I see the motivation behind it and appreciate the cause, however it is not just about the tools. Yes we need better tools but that alone wont help. 1-Click solutions often promise a lot but only end up giving a false sense of security. I belive that a certain amount of understanding of the underlying, general technology will always be required - both for users and developers.

Encrypting your e-mail does not help you if your machine is compromised.

Researching and developing usability and security auditing practices. How do we measure the two in a single assessment?

You don't. They're wildly different disciplines. Security auditing is fundamentally a systems programming problem. The least effective security "auditors" approach security as something different than software engineering. The most significant security issues arise from correctness issues; finding and fleshing them out involves discovering the degrees of freedom offered to an attacker by faulty assumptions made by blocks of code scattered throughout an entire system.

That's not to take anything away from the practice this team is trying to start! Someone should be doing security usability work, because I don't know anyone who does it well now.

Providing real software security for open source projects is a tricky problem. Talented software security people are in enormous demand. Bill rates are going up. One thing a project like this might want to tackle is onboarding more technical people into the discipline, to address the supply problem.
Keyless SSL is basically an analogue of ssh-agent(1) for OpenSSL. It's a nice feature that you no longer have to trust CloudFlare with your private key, but there's a huge tradeoff: if your keyserver is unavailable (ironically, due to any of the things CloudFlare is supposed to protect you from or buffer you against -- DDoS, network/server issues, etc.), they can no longer authenticate requests served on your behalf and properly serve traffic.
Meta question about ranking - why is this article so high? Right now it's #39, 12 pts in 17 hours. It is above an article with 43 points in 16 hours and one with 324 in 22 hours. For a while yesterday it was near the top of the front page with 3 points. Does wired.com get a big boost, or is there something else going on?
Time spent in the digest cycle scales proportionally to the product of how often a digest occurs, and how many watches there are - each should be roughly proportional to the size of the application, for an overall quadratic complexity. If watches trigger other watches then this also lengthens the cycle, so the growth is actually more than quadratic in the size of the application - as bad as cubic possibly, if most notifications between modules are accomplished by one watch function setting variables for another watch function to pick up.

Debouncing controls one of the terms - frequency of digest cycles - so the complexity grows somewhere between linear and quadratic. The only scalable solution is to minimize the use of watches. Fortunately, this is also a good idea from a code quality standpoint - watches are an unstructured control flow system, similar to GOTO, and should be avoided even if they were efficient.
Yes there's a typo / mispaste in the code there, but of course that wouldn't compile and they're not asking what wouldn't compile ('....' wouldn't compile either).

I'm pretty sure mp3/aac can already store lyrics in the metadata. Most of the songs on my iPod have lyrics with them that show up while playing, though they don't sync with the music, it's just the full text. And these are songs from other sources like Bandcamp or CDs, so it's not some iTunes/Apple specific feature.
Insight on Alibaba, the Company About to Have the Biggest IPO in US History
Yes. All of that applies to SAFEs as well, which are basically convertible notes that aren't "debt."

Basically convertible notes were kind of a financial hack that let you take money without setting a price by calling it "debt," even though no one really regarded it as debt. That brought along a couple small negative side effects, but the good outweighed the bad and let you close rounds quickly without $10-25k in legal fees and seemingly endless negotiation.

A SAFE is the same thing, but it jumps through the hoops necessary to not be called "debt" and gets rid of those side effects.
Congratulations to everyone involved! I have all of 7 commits in, all trivial, but huge thanks to everyone in the committer list! It's amazing.
Light too. A DirecTv box with super-bright blue LEDs (don't get me started) decided to turn itself on randomly in the middle of the night, and that definitely woke me up from a deep sleep (maybe my brain thought it was a fire?).

Now, granted, we do fall in and out of stages of deep and less-deep sleep throughout the night, however in my experience I have definitely been woken out of deep sleep by an usual sound or light (although it seems like it takes less from a less-deep sleep to wake you).

"Apple's devotion to privacy ends at phone unlock."

If you had read either the privacy policy or security architecture, you would know that you have made a false statement here.

As I mentioned partially elsewhere, in the US, you'll typically find aspartame, then saccharin, then sucralose. Almost every restaurant has all three already on the table when you sit, in case you order coffee or tea. If one's missing, it's probably sucralose. If only one is available, it's probably aspartame.

You can buy all these and other varieties in most grocery stores, but due to the history of when soda use exploded here in the 1980s, and the debunking of the old saccharin studies not becoming widely known until well after that, virtually all soft drinks in the US use aspartame, and I'm not aware of any that are saccharin only.

It's pretty much the same in software too. I often get requests for functionality and when I say "no, we can't do that", I get "Why not? Amazon does it".

Hrmm... Amazon has dozens of people working and supporting just that one feature. You're trying to engage me to do an entire project. On a fixed budget. With a fixed time frame. And you've changed your mind 3 times in the last 3 weeks on key points.

Of course, yes, there are amazing things you can do with software that weren't remotely feasible even just 5 years ago. But there's always a moving target - the market leaders (Apple, Google, Amazon, etc) are constantly pushing the boundaries of what's considered 'normal', and most people have 0 idea of the real cost and effort involved in having the functionality come across as polished and error free as the big boys.
Zero-downtime for web servers/services is very easy. In most cases. Even if the web server needs minutes to start.

It's a trickier, if you (must) have persistent connection from client to (app)server and have a state. And a lot trickier, if you will upgrade (big, xxx gigabytes in size) schema or whole relatioanal database.
