RCA Student Invents Artificial Leaf That Can Produce Oxygen
History shows that in the short term the devices that are new have characteristics of the generation being replaced. But then they break away and things get redefined. The first word processors looked like typewriters. The first presentation packages focused on 35mm slides and "foils".
Just curious. What is wrong with this?
it seems most commercial projects need a commercial license.

i also couldn't find any info on the API for features like scene management, physics etc.

what do you guys think of famo.us and velocity?
To be honest, it was kinda funny. I don't see why we can't find it humorous that year after year someone says that the next year will be a year of Linux.

I love Linux - been using it for several years and wouldn't trade it for anything (be it OS X or Win with package manager).

Package manager is certainly an awesome thing, but not something that would make me (and probably anyone else using Linux) to switch over.

The big, #1 reason investment is bad during deflation is a topic that should interest a lot of the readers of this site, and indeed, YCombinator itself: it is impossible to sell manufactured goods in a deflationary economy at a profit.

The problem exists any place there is a latency between when you buy your starting materials and when you sell the final product. In a normal (break-even or mildly inflationary economy) you start with capital that has some amount of value (purchasing power). Time passes as you make the product, and you can sell it at an equal or greater (profit margin) amount which allows you to regain your initial capital investment.

That completely breaks in deflation. The value of the money rises ,and yes, this means people are slightly less likely to spend it, but the problem comes when you want to sell your product. Say you invested $100 to make a product with the expectation being able to sell at a 50% profit margin. Except during the time it took to you to make it, money deflated, and the purchasing price of those same starting materials is now $50. Adding in the same 50% profit says your now can only sell your product at $75.

The deflation that happens between investing and selling not only eats your profit margin, it can easily eat your ability to recover your initial capital. Investment is ludicrous in an environment like that.

So we go with the "worst method possible, except for all the rest": mild inflation that is hopefully small, manageable, and trivial.
So AFAIK they send html back to the client right? that's my understanding of turbolinks

The problem with this is that it makes client and server tightly coupled.One cannot update the client app without touching the server code.

I understand that's a tradeoff but I think a restful architecture serving only json/xml data is better. And you dont have to duplicate logic that much.If any validation needs to happen clientside,create some validation resource for each model and do it entirely serverside for instance. Even SPAs dont need fat clientside models or a complex service layer on the client.
I really doubt a nurse made the diagnosis, the legal issues would be a huge problem let alone the education and complexity required to make such a diagnosis. I would know, in 2 years I'll be the single guy on around 1 out of every 10 nights who would have to make that diagnosis and I work in one of the top 10 busiest ED's in the country.
Downloading movies is perfectly legal in many European countries.
> Why? What's the point?

The point is portability. People now write all of their server software for Linux. More people would bother porting it to Windows if doing so was easier.

Example: There is no Windows equivalent to epoll/kqueue. Neither of them is even POSIX. But if you bring this up to most Windows people they tell you to use IO completion ports, which are totally different and require the core of the program to be redesigned.

No, and you also don't have to use its client software. You can (and I do) use the service solely by signing JSON documents locally and uploading the signature.

Look, I'm sorry if this seems rude, but do you not recognize that 90% of what you've pasted here is emotional manipulation? I'm willing to entertain your proposition but I would like to read something with specific assertions about chemicals, numbers, methods - stuff I can conduct searches on, not handwavey presentations by an expert who's dumbing it down for laypeople and so leaves me without any detail that I can check for myself.

I took some time to watch this guy's video, but his argument is incoherent and it's absolutely full of logical fallacies. I'm well aware that there have been multiple proposals for geoengineering, but it's a long way from that to claims that the clouds look wrong, geoengineering is being conducted on a mass scale, and there's a giant coverup. Having grown up near an airport, I've always had trouble with chemtrail advocates claims that 'these don't look like normal contrails' because my experience is that contrails have always exhibited a great deal of variety and do not have a single consistent appearance as contrail theorists are wont to claim.

I urge you to consider some of the debunking arguments that you can find at https://www.metabunk.org/forums/contrails-and-chemtrails.9/ and search for specific written arguments that are based on empirical and repeatable observations.
I suspect random device variances will screw up the accuracy of your tests.

Optimizing for what you think YC partners want is a sure way to not get into YC. You're not a mind reader; what you think they want is almost certainly different from what they actually want. More importantly, they read thousands of applications, and you're only working on one. They can smell people who are trying to game them from a thousand miles away.

Just doing what you do is the only thing that matters and will get you in, assuming you're doing the right thing. (Asking alums for feedback on the application is a very good way to make sure you're doing the right thing and your presentation doesn't suck)
Great read. This is stuff movies are made of, but in reality its seems more horrifying.

> We have a small pick-and-place machine/etc setup

I've been in at the ground floor of a number of successful hardware startups. One of which had a number of pick and place machines, IR reflow ovens, and all sorts of related manufacturing equipment. So I'm quite familiar with the field.

My very simple, very emphatic advice about a "pick-and-place" machine is: NO NO NO NO NO, a thousand times N0!!!

Maybe it's something you have to do in NZ. But in some other parts of the world, if I blindfolded you and let you stumble around you would probably trip over a pick-and-place machine in about 5 minutes! They're everywhere.

In other words, unless your primary purpose is to bootstrap yourself into being a contract manufacturer, you have absolutely no business owning your own pick-and-place machine.

A design as simple as yours could be manufactured by almost anyone in the world. It's so simple that most of them could do it in their sleep.

Just contract the manufacturing out and be done with it.

Your quixotic effort at stuffing your own boards reminds me of the perhaps apocryphal story of, in the 1970's, WDC designing a chipset that was used in the DEC LSI-11 minicomputer.[1] They had a fab, and in one week they could make enough chips for DEC to sell minicomputers for a year. "Okay, the LSI-11 chips are done. Now WTF do we do with this fab for the other 51 weeks of the year???"

Yeah, in the old days IC fabs were cheap enough that everyone and his brother owned one. And they had large fixed costs. And unless they were utilized around the clock they lost money.

To a large extent stuff like pick-and-place machines are the same. Sure it's orders of magnitude cheaper. But still, maybe it takes you a week or two to build some of your boards. What do you do with your equipment for the other 50 weeks of the year? Is that the business you want to be in?

Of course, if that is the business you want to be in, then OK.

The main point of the post is that if there's a configuration you expect to work, you need to test it, independent of whether or not it's supported by the author. I can think of a dozen other distributed system failures I've seen that happened despite using stock configuration — this particular failure was simply a recent example, and helps illustrate why game days are so valuable.

On the plus side, Antirez has said that this configuration will soon be supported: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8522630 (thanks Antirez!), so future users will be able to run in this configuration safely.

> They were stored in Samara, Russia. Maps say that is in Siberia.

Samara is not in Siberia. It is in the Volga Federal District, which is west of the Urals and therefore in European Russia.

In fact, Samara is 1000 miles away from Siberia. Even for Russia, that's still quite a distance.

I don't know how we could consider it to be more efficient than simply eating other foods (i.e. plants) under any circumstance when all variables are considered.
I can't vote (I'm not a citizen), and perhaps for that very reason I enjoy perusing the votter guides and reading every last little thing, for years. I entirely agree with this observation - if you're into spotting logical fallacies or rhetorical trickery (including typographical) then it's nerdy fun to play fallacy bingo on the proposition arguments and campaign ads. I know Faulkner's annual arguments from living in SF, and there are similar folk in every county.
Obviously NOT BAD ENOUGH if California keeps using more and more water every year.
If that's the case, then you haven't installed any big app since then.
> and who knows, that might just trigger some kind of revolution in Windows app management

Free trials of un-tar? Installing apps that require subscriptions to the cloud? Dev libraries that require enterprise support packages?

Good package management on Linux is owed largely to the tireless voices such as Stallman who understand the core issues here. Yes, tying together install scripts and maintaining repositories requires a lot of work, and good for Microsoft. But the reason It Just Works is because the software is free, from top to bottom, including the OS. And Mac will have the same problem here as Windows. For now, I'm guessing this is just a command-line interface to app stores.
The title "Open-source DuckDuckGo" is sadly very misleading, as only few selected parts are open source.

Even if it is a global phenomenon, and even if the US is not the worst in terms of meat calories consumer per-capita, that doesn't negate the fact that we could still improve our environmental impact by eating less meat.

It's not a competition, we can still make an impact locally and globally by eating less meat.
And we could have goten something similar to XAML, instead of the HTML, CSS magic and JavaScript workarounds to replicate desktop behavious and UIs.
> Siberia starts from Novosibirsk, it's about 2k miles to East from Samara.

Omsk is in Siberia and it's only 1000 miles away from Samara.

Anyway, Los Angeles is not in Oregon, Moscow is not in Germany, and Samara is not in Siberia.
Currently none, but I think some of the things planned are: support, addons, SLAs, deployment, hosting, etc...
Pretty much. While it's cool coming from Microsoft I'm willing to bet it's going to be an inferior implementation one way or another compared to Linux distributions.

I find that snarkiness very reassuring! Some crazy straw man argument, calling us silly names, pretending that open source linux is more mysterious than the mad and secretive Ballmer temple of cash worship... Shows that the die hards are finding their truths to be a web of self deceptions.
> But it frustrates me how many people complain about how much it sucks when there are no projects (with any support) attempting to really change things. If my opinion of javascript is wrong and it really is that bad - I'd think there would be more of a movement to move away from it.

You should watch this https://www.destroyallsoftware.com/talks/the-birth-and-death...

Programmers can't always just start something "new", they have to work on existing platforms to be able to deploy their software quickly and efficiently. This video explain than even though javascript was never intended to run a 3D engine, it now is able to. As he explains it in the video, it's a hack, and it doesn't work that well for most binaries.

If I could, I would start a new browser, without html, with more dynamic languages, with a clang VM, with protocol buffers, etc. But in this age of patents and market shares in IT, I don't expect having enough exposure to have users installing this future browser. If one software company can't deploy its app on the dominant systems, it's screwed. But it doesn't mean JS fits every possible job.

compiled html is not compiled web app. the java vm, activeX, those things are not open and can hardly be expanded, so they're not going to be standard or be federated.

also, http relies on tcp, so it will always be synchronous, there is hardly going back and forth between the client and server. ajax is not something easy to deploy.
Good job at not reading the article! Had you read it, you would've learned that the commands work like this:

"Now, as new technologies start to generate terabytes of data about players and tactics, that next great competitive advantage will go to the number crunchers and analysts who can make sense of all those signals. Take the statistical tsunami of SportVU in the NBA. “It's not an exaggeration to say that 85 percent of the teams don't know what to do with this data,” Goldsberry says. “The idea that this is going to revolutionize the NBA—well, I'm not sure that's true unless teams awaken really quickly to things like machine learning and data visualization.""
Yes, it's also mentioned in the article.
I don't know that what you've identified there is actually a problem in practice – I'd wager that in a system like Shopify's admin, the client and server are inherently coupled regardless of what architecture you choose. Trying to abstract to a client-side app and JSON API in these situations often results in more complexity for few benefits.
To keep Google's monopoly in check. Google has exerted way more than its legal power to manually remove sites from its search results. Once removed, it means you don't exist. No entity should have that kind of power in denying people's freedom of speech. Manually action to remove sites is pure evil. With their world class engineers, scientists, billions of capital and years in the field, if they are not capable of algorithmically rank sites, then they have a problem.
The problem itself isn't very hard, at least not in the mathematical sense of the word. It's just that it's a human process, and is thus prone to the failings of human beings, including the various biases that human beings are known to have.

I run a few windows servers maintained via ansible. There is a protocol called winrm built that is functionally equivalent to ssh for the purposes of remotely controlling a box. Ansible uses winrm to provision. Beyond that, chocolatey.org provides a complete package management solution as long as you are looking to install popular free (as in beer) software. Also, you need to learn powershell to do anything useful. It's painful but I have to sit back in awe at the extent of the APIs available to you from the powershell prompt, each one hand crafted by a Microsoft employee. Pretty much anything you need to from a OS configuration perspective can be done in powershell pretty easily.

Once you get over these couple of things it's not terrible. (though I of course widely prefer linux)
It's the same thing with the PC. People look at the PC numbers declining, but that's the sales numbers, not the installed base. People haven't stopped using their PCs, they've just stopped upgrading them.

The easiest thing would probably be to use a relative's or a friend's bank account that is living/studying in a supported country. You would have to create and transfer your apps to a new Google Play developer account with the same country as the bank account.

You could also try to open an offshore bank account in one of the supported countries but most banks have balance limitations (the lowest I found was 5000GBP) and/or monthly fees.

Is there a reason why we have fewer of those problems with Mac OS X? I can see that the Windows audience often isn't tech-savvy enough to understand that Ask isn't part of Windows, and that's probably also because Chrome/Firefox/Safari are more diligent about managing extensions than IE. But there's a very serious constant problem of spyware/adware in Windows that I don't feel exists in Mac OS X and Linux.
> Yes the growth of mobile is explosive and, in some cases, it's displacing older technology.

I think the mischaracterization is of what mobile is replacing. It isn't the PC. A PC is primarily a computing device, an iPhone is primarily a communications device.

The iPhone and iPad aren't replacing PCs, they're replacing newspaper, radio and telephone. They're only replacing PCs to the extent that the PC had already partially replaced some of those things.
