It could also be that participating in the study addresses sources of depression by giving the subject a way that they are 'helping out' society, or are 'cared about' etc.

There are probably many factors to depression which may include chemical or structural causes; however the human brain is a complex self adapting analog computer. It would be foolish to think that such a system can be reduced a single or even simple set of controlled variables.
You have a segmented e-ink display in there.

They have a full pixel display. They are different. E-Ink displays are 1.18mm thick per their spec sheet and you have to add some mechanically stiff backing to that.

Looking at a detailed photo [1] it looks like a STN segmented LCD but I could be wrong.

Incidentally, do you have a pair of callipers handy? Could you measure the PayPal Security Key?

I don't think it is the same thickness as a credit card.

Am I reading this correctly in that higher temperatures reduced survivability? Anyone in a position to ease my mind about dust inside computer equipment from isolation wards?
This doesn't make any sense to me. Isn't giving out your personal info and password to tons of small sites less secure than using a single logon service with a huge security team behind it and using tokens? That's the philosophy of Apple Pay at least. If I find a small website where I know nothing about their security practices, I assume they are vulnerable to leaks, and I would much rather use a third-party login service for security and privacy, not in spite of it.
I don't think you can solve this with just APIs currently. There's a ton of information currently but extracting the useful bits and creating a complete trip plan just isn't possible today.

Heck I've done the equivalent of screen scraping by visiting tripadvisor and lonely planet thorntree forums and even that was not enough.
I tried a new site called triptips.com and found they had good balance of human intervention from locals to simplify the hardest part of travel planning.

Its relatively easy to book a flight or hotel or air bnb. The hard part I've always found is determining which hotel makes sense given what i want to do at the destination. should i rent a car and so on..
> You'd need partnerships with banks to get a new secret the way Apple Pay does

If this is using the EMVCo tokenization stuff, which it is widely believed that Apple is using, I don't think they would have to partner with banks. They'd just have to register with a Token Service Provider.

Here's an interesting article on this: http://www.aviso.io/apple-pay-brings-new-problems-acquirers/
>How many Australians do you think get to the poles and just don't vote.

Actually a pretty high percentage. The number of spoiled ballots or “donkey” votes is high (over 10%).

>You said so yourself, you were there, and you voted because you were there.

I actually didn’t say that. I would have voted even without the threat of a fine. For me the most important thing is the preferential voting (instant run-off) that allowed me to vote for a candidate that had no chance of winning without wasting it.
Seems like either Dunbar's number is from some alternate reality or many of the commenters (including myself) are the alternate reality...
Faked video.

I downloaded it and went frame-by-frame and you can see the card display contents move around with changing margins. It's all CGI.

Not that it's inherently wrong to do simulations, but this is notable because they don't include a "this is a simulation" disclaimer (AFAICS).
It started as a way of annotating rap lyrics to explain the content to the uninitiated. Unfortunately, many of these annotations are flat-out wrong (not to mention many of the subject matters are more or less open to interpretation). So right off the bat, the whole notion of calling the platform "Genius" is highly dubious, I feel. Not sure why they think that they can easily expand out into other mediums which will require more, not less, intense analytical thought, intimate knowledge about the subject, etc. as opposed to just being knowledgable about what mostly amounts to slang.

(Stackexchange would make a better Genius.com)

So the original product has now morphed into some sort of "global" annotation system for any kind of text (including literature, law, tech). I just feel like they will have a hard time attracting true experts in these subjects.

I guess I'm also just not a fan of the site's overall aesthetic. The design is very dark and cluttered. Not very inviting.
Of course it is vaporware. They're trying to prove the market exists, sell the product up front, then go build it. Will it ever ship or be remotely as thin and svelte as this mockup? I'm guessing no, but if they pull it off, kudos.
If you use the Firebase SDKs the request is sent over a reused full duplex socket rather than creating new/individual connections.
The real issue is that in programming, you get to define stuff unambiguously and quantitatively.

There are valid complaints about Scala, but the complaints from all those HN armchair experts are far removed from it. There is nothing useful to be done except making fun of it.

If you really wanted to, I think you could set up an endpoint on your server to be long polled with synchronous XHR in a while loop, while you set up the popup in an iframe. When the popup is clicked, you send a notification to the server so the next synchronous request returns 200 and you dispose of the iframe.

Right, I meant solely on paradigm.
It seems like an odd decision to invest in building your own framework to get around a 20% performance improvement on your existing system (80k -> 100k+). Was there really no way to get better performance by tuning the existing system, or throwing more hardware at the problem?

I'd love to read about what else was tried before the decision to abandon Storm was made.
The card connects to your iPhone (for proximity detection) perhaps the card accesses Apple Pay on your phone when making the transaction therefore your phone needs to be in your pocket while inputting the chip and pin? Just a thought.
Are you claiming that there wasn't an arity limit on case classes that you could run into through no fault of your own using the Scala web stack? Or just that if you had to diagnose that problem it shouldn't bother you as it isn't a valid complaint?

What would elevate someone from HN "armchair expert" in your mind, such that their complaints were valid? Is it even possible for someone to mention something they don't like about Scala without you immediately dismissing them as not knowing what they are talking about?
I have posted here before about an app that helps you schedule a set of recipes so that things are ready in sequence. It would show you what can be prepared in advance, what needs to be done just before plating, etc. A recipe Gantt chart.

I could also make use of a touchscreen splashback showing either general entertainment or recipes where I could strike off ingredients or steps as they were completed. Saves having the iPad or a book taking up bench space.

Could have touchscreen in one area and then display with heat-resistant glass behind the cooktop. Maybe in 10 years time.

I have a special place in my heart for Winamp's classic UI. In my opinion, it was the most intuitive interface for a music player. it had a playlist, equalizer, plugins, all of which were condensable to a fraction of it's full size. Of course, now there are a number of similar players that have the same capabilities, but shit, Winamp 2.x was where it started. Even today, it blows todays iTunes interface way out of the water.

Not necessarily the same. For example for arena allocation, you can drop lots of related objects at the same time. If you don't have to run destructors on them, the cost will be much lower than any other way of managing them.
I agree with you in theory, but most mobile websites are poorly thought out and implemented - if at all. I definitely don't download apps for every site I use, but for the ones I use daily, I generally find I need to. Native OS interactions seem to be difficult to get right in the browser.

HN is definitely an example of a site that isn't ideal in a mobile browser. For instance, if you have the ability to downvote, it's incredibly easy to mistakenly downvote when you mean to upvote because how close and small the buttons are. There's other added functionality, like tracking who I've upvoted / downvoted in the past as well as tracking un/read comments when returning to a thread. In the browser, I use a chrome extension for this, and on my phone, I use airlocksoftware's app. (side-note, I wish said state carried between the extension and the app)

The developers of HN are surely capable of creating a mobile website that could work just as well, or even better than a mobile app. But currently, it's not ideal. And for that reason, I completely appreciate airlocksoftware's (and the devs of other HN apps) for their efforts.
You seem to have gotten the story a bit confused.

They didn't ask for a dealer that spoke Mandarin for superstitious reasons, they asked because the person actually doing the edge-sorting was Phil Ivey's partner in this, Cheng Yin Sun. Their request to turn cards was under the guise of being superstitious, not their request for a Mandarin speaking dealer.
Well, E-ink uses very little battery. The e-reader I use has to be charged only every other month or every month if I read more often. But then again this little card couldn't have a very powerful battery in it.

Data Visualization and D3.js Newsletter – Issue 99
I went to school at a small startup private elementary school (~6 kids in my grade) that was located ~500 meters from the Monkey House, but it left the site in 1989, just prior to the Reston Ebola situation (Great timing!). FWIW, the startup wound up being wildly successful (http://www.nysmith.com/). Also, this school taught coding (LOGO, then BASIC) as soon as you learned to type; wrote my first computer program at age 6.
I work remotely, recently moved to a new city, don't belong to a church, and have about a dozen causal friends locally (most of them gay men, via a random work-connection of my girlfriend's and the fact that the gay community is ridiculously welcoming and outgoing.)

I'd say "Introverts of the world, unite!" but that would kind of defeat the purpose.

I've speculated that the 150-person limit on pre-political human group sizes is due to the limits on our attention: http://www.tjradcliffe.com/?p=1203

That speculation was based on the idea that men form groups to support each other in mate competition, but it could well also be a primary phenomenon, with 12 or 13 being the absolute upper limit of our attentional resources. That would give 150 people as the typical group size. Either way, it would be very interesting if we could tie those two magic numbers--7 and 150--together somehow.
Very cool, and looks like it only took you a few minutes of work! Nice job.

The work is generally entangled per the terms of your contract. If you want to do anything particular with it, the contract needs to cover that.

Specific things you may be thinking of:

* Showing off "portfolio samples" based on incomplete work - this is apt to annoy clients if you're not careful with it, and any given portfolio sample is unlikely to make or break your ability to land clients. If you think it might, you need to take a hard look at your sales process.

* Code reuse - this should be something your contract already covers for all projects. This code is mine, I am licensing this particular configuration of it for you to use based on specific terms, and assuming that you complete your end of the contract (i.e. pay me).
Reading the comments, I'd say many members of HN should probably invest more time fostering friendships. Its not that difficult to maintain relationships but it is shockingly easy to let them dissipate.

Every so often I set out to "make the rounds" and see my friends who are spread across the country. I'm a bit of a nomad and yet its often my return that triggers close friends to see each other when they live minutes away. Just pick up the phone and call someone from time to time, let them know you give a shit. It's amazing what a phone call once a month and a visit once a year can do to sustain a meaningful relationship with someone.

People are, on average, terrible at staying in touch with one another. Be the outlier, you'll make the world a better place.
I assume that the numbers quoted are more about the brains capacity at each level of engagement.

I assume it would adjust for introvert/ extrovert. Like others here I would find maintaining the number of relationships at those number very tiring.

> This story is 'revised'.
>> Anyway, my point, this is revised history.

This person was a radar / signal intelligence geek who's only work on the OXCART project seems to be related to electronic jamming and determining the radar capabilities of the then USSR.

So this entire set of anecdotes are from their perspective. They never claimed to be in the initial OXCART development group nor did they make claims as to what OXCART was design to or not to do. All they said was that based on their data the OXCART would have been trackable on the USSR's radar defence systems.

That isn't revising history in any meaningful way. However you should take into account that the scope of the anecdote is just a single person's perspective working in a single field. They also allude to the recently launched satellites in addition to the U2's shootdown being contributors to use the Blackbird was never really used over the USSR.

Frankly your concept that the whole basis for the OXCART project was that CRT' refresh rate was too low to literally draw the aircraft bizarre. First time I've heard that and Google has no clue about it either ("OXCART CRT" "blackbird crt" no relevant results). Plus CRT displays have very high refresh rates (around 89 Hz), so there's that too...

Why You Must Lie on Job Interviews and What You Must Lie About
Love the ads on that blog :-)

I think the FTC makes a valid point, and the interesting topic of discussion, I realize though that they don't argue that advertisers in say, Gourmet, don't really target people going to Walmart.
I suppose, but outside certain mathematical systems that are designed that way, assuming that all functions are total is unrealistic. The languages we use every day are Turing-complete languages and infinite loops can happen.
This analogy doesn't work on a lot of cases.
Lets say you're served a plate full of something you find disgusting. How could you critic it? You're not the cook.

Now, you could say this case is not similar since it is "used by millions", but a lot of systems that are universally agreed to be bad are used by millions.
Hence why a lot of people in HN are trying to "disrupt" said space (or market).

TL;DR Using what you're given to work with and being content with what you're using are two different things and should not measure the quality of said thing.

PS.- This is not to say I believe Brad Cox is bad or Objective C is bad, I haven't used it ever. Is just the "if you can't do it don't criticize it" mentality I'm not for.
The message underneath the code on Github's page tells you to do just that. I did the same thing. DO's support has definitely improved since I last used it.

>What if Buyer D isn't willing to spend $11?

If Buyer D isn't willing to spend $11, then he simply doesn't buy the item. The HFT took on risk by buying the item and needs to either find someone else willing to buy it for >$10 or lose money.

>I would say it's exploiting inefficiencies.

Exploiting Market Inefficiencies == A More Efficient Market. The whole idea of "buy low, sell high" is exploiting inefficiencies in pricing, which is all HFT's are doing. As a result, they bring the buy/sell prices closer together, making it easier to trade. In return for making the market more efficient, they get a profit, and everyone wins except those who are acting in an inefficient manner. (Remember, buying something for less than it's worth is ALSO an inefficiency!)

The point about volatility is fair, but that has to do with market stability, not market efficiency. The HFTs are HIGHLY incentivized to not destabilize the market because they stand to lose a LOT of money if they make a mistake. Now, it _is_ possible someone could concoct a scheme where they profit from a destabilization caused by faulty HFT, but HFT is the means by which that actor perverted the market, not the reason the market is perverted.

Have you ever lived somewhere, perhaps a city, where all your close friends change every few years because everyone keeps moving? That was my case living in Vancouver. I have since moved and have had to start over myself. I find that it takes a while to build close friends especially once you are in the job market and everyone has families. It also takes a lot of effort to keep close friends because i'm so busy with non-social things and sporting activities that I'm rarely free just to hang as I did in University. This is doubly true for those in relationships as we also have to spend time with our partners friends and families too.

Not complaining, but it's difficult to adjust to compared to grad school.
