I didn't really get it until I started managing emails in mass(or bundles if you want to use googles terms). I get a lot of email that isn't spam that I know at a glance if I need to read it or not. With Inbox I can really quickly archive a huge group of emails that I don't need.

I have also used the pin and reminder feature a few times. I still think it's a weird thing to include with email, but it was helpful.
I live a 20 minute drive (after 10am or 7pm) from ~all the startups in SF (in SOMA or Midmarket). My rent would be ~$1800-2500/mo for a 1BR. (GF owns the condo, so no rent now). While Oakland is moderately "real", I've never "had to use the AK" -- it's realistically about as safe where I live as in SF (I live near a Whole Foods, after all). I do spend about $660/mo on commute ($260 parking, $100 bridge toll, $300 or so on gas and vehicle operating expenses). I could do a 50 minute BART ride for $0/mo total if I wanted, and it'd be 30 minutes if I lived a little closer to BART and worked at Twitter or Lookout instead of by Caltrain.

There are probably >10k jobs in that commute footprint I could have within a week at $150k base plus $100-300k/yr in equity. If I were a competent 5-10y experience frontend developer, maybe 50k jobs in the same range. That's without even touching Silicon Valley itself, or remote-but-through-SF-connections.

This is the advantage of SV as an employee. You can work for a startup knowing that you'd literally have a new job before the day is out if your company imploded in the morning.
If a git clone from github fails, I can still git clone from the last production machine I successfully cloned to. But this would be no different than curl -o installer.sh; rsync installer.sh; ssh remote@server 'sh installer.sh';

Mismatched SHA-1s are only noticeable when you have one to compare against. A git clone is always fresh, so if the attacker rewrote history, you'd not be warned.
There are things in the world worth more than getting an idea out there. Knowing that the project(s) I've shelved has/have likely kept a few people alive is worth more than being able to say I stuck it to the man.

Fermat's last theorem has been proven; there is no solution, people. In this case, you can't verify this using "any old calculator," as most show only ten digits and these diverge at digit 12.
Thought the same thing as soon as I read this - this is not a turbocharger, it's an electric air compressor.

The efficiency of the turbo comes from the use from the otherwise wasted exhaust gas energy being used to compress the intake air. Superchargers use main engine energy via the accessory belt, thereby consuming some of the energy they help produce.

Benefits of injecting compressed air into an internal combustion engine is well documented and supported by physics. The main problem is how to do it for free or nearly free. One option that the article seems to imply is to separate power generation and compression, perhaps using some sort of dynamo in exhaust and running generated power to compressor?
I love it, and really hope they continue to maintain both. Inbox works great for my personal email where each message actually corresponds to a task I need yo complete, gmail is a great workflow for my publicly visible work email where its more just a stream of messages, some of which need to be dealt with and others are just record keeping.
I recently had very good luck debugging an IE8 problem with IE11 in emulation mode (via Sauce Labs on my Mac, incidentally). Not sure if it works for everything, but it was by far the best experience I've had with IE.
I agree that this is concerning, but I think the risk is mitigated by the relatively low tie in. I personally don't care which app I use. So, I end up using whichever service will give me more VC-paid free credit.

Uber has the most VC by far. But, if they use that to kill competitors and subsequently try to raise prices, I'd happily switch to the next upstart that undercuts them.

The only big downside is that it necessarily requires a lot of VC to compete with them right now.

I can't really say much that has not already been said here and I fully second all the comments about their fond memories of the show. Even though I am not into cars, they made what I think is sort of a mundane topic (car repair) into something completely entertaining and hilarious. I loved their brain teasers, so clever.

That's a valid point. However, my point is that it's simply a different browser that'll be built on different software, considering it is different.
OK, this is actually a really cool approach to what I gather is a common problem!

Does Point try to learn a baseline for temperature/acoustics/etc., and trigger when a deviation occurs? Or do you just say "when glass breaks + these other thresholds are tripped, ..."

Because the latter would probably solve the problem fairly well, but the former would be outstanding.
The recommendations even contradict their own ratings. Netflix often recommends complete crap to me, and even says I'm likely to rate it one star. It even offers me things I've rated as not interesting or one star.

Meanwhile, app level features like restricting certain types of content isn't available. I want to be able to delete crap from the Netflix catalog when my kids log in.. I don't care about nudity, language, etc. but more about just how dumb some of the cartoons are.

Wait. Is the new AngularJS rewrite bunk?
I think if you keep it on the outside of your bed (away from the partner) and your bed isn't super responsive, it should work. There are others that integrate with wearables and works in that situation, but the concept of it using motion and not just random time is what makes it work more effectively.
Wow, way to dress an opinion up as fact!

If you watch only a few movies a month, Redbox is more economic than Netflix. If you only watch two movies per month, paying $3-$4 at Blockbuster is on par with Netflix.

Sure Netflix economics are great if you already have broadband, have stopped paying for cable TV, and you hate driving to the places where Redbox has kiosks. But if any of those conditions aren't met, Netflix doesn't look quite as genius.

Redbox "proves" that there is still demand for physical media rentals. Blockbuster had a kiosk at my local grocery store for a while and that meant I could return a movie or rent a new one every trip if I so desired at something like $1.50 a pop. That was pretty compelling.

Even more compelling would have been a store with a couple of people who really knew movies and could recommend things and with a deep, deep back catalog. Cutting the customer-facing square footage in half would allow each and every store to pack damn near every movie ever made in. Yeah it might take a guy a minute or three to head to the back and pull the movie you're looking for, but it could be done.

The ownership of the movies is a model that Netflix SORELY wishes they had at the moment. Netflix is publicly traded. And because they're publicly traded it means they have to file financials. And filing financials means a profit & loss kind of statement. And because Netflix doesn't actually OWN much IP, it means they have to rent or lease it. And that means the studios which own the IP that Netflix desperately needs to stay in business are perfectly informed of Netflix's financials. So they know just how much they can squeeze Netflix for every time a contract negotiation comes up.

Blockbuster would not be in the same position because they would own the catalog. Purchases are expensive, but over any 20 year period they might be cheaper than renting.

I was expecting some explanation involving unexpected consequences or emergent behavior or something, but it really is just because of a stupid bug in the original game 25 years ago, and they've deliberately broken him in Civ5 as an 'Easter Egg.'

We need a new term for this kind of garbage, by the way. I don't think it qualifies as 'Easter Egg' since that's usually something you're delighted to find, and at any rate it shouldn't affect gameplay too much, as opposed to just reintroducing broken shit as some kind of homage of fans of the series from the start - most of whom are probably just frustrated that it's five iterations later and you still haven't fixed this basic fucking thing. I guess I'll start calling these 'Rotten Eggs.'
In my case, I was entirely unaware of Shake's existence. The no-nonsense support for file oriented workflows is the most compelling feature of Makefiles for me.

In that regard, Shake seems really compelling. It supports the file oriented nature of my build system. It's backed by an actual programming language, with lexical scoping, functions, a module system... all the things that suck about Makefiles.

Most importantly, it solves the one thing that drives me up the wall with Makefiles: supporting custom command line arguments sanely. I detest typing `make web TARGET=prod` and `shakeArgsWith` seems like it provides the flexibility of specifying targets and flags from custom command line arguments.

Thanks for this, I'm going to try and convert a few non trivial Makefiles to Shake. Any cons I should be aware of?
Netflix is good at providing the service on any device, and having 100% uptime.

Their requirements are 100% availability, and an API's that never breaks, but consistency rarely matters.

The engineering effort is cool, but it is solving a problem that I don't have. The only thing that matters to netflix is they list the catalog somewhat correctly, and always deliver a stream.

I have a different problem, thus I am uninterested in their magic. If I had a similar problem or they signed my paycheck, I'd care.
Look at what F1 teams are doing this season. They have an electric dynamo on the turbos, and on the driveshaft. They can recover energy out of the turbo or put energy into it, the same with the driveshaft.

Mercedes has the best engine by far this year. They put the exhaust turbine of the turbocharger on the back of their v6 engine, it is connected to the compressor via a long driveshaft that goes in the V of the cylinder bank. This separation between turbine and compressor allows them to keep a lot of heat away from the intake side, which allows a denser charge, which allows more power. The dynamo for the turbo also sits in the V, I think they have some type of clutch there also so they can let either side of the turbo system freewheel.

Note:I think dynamo is the proper term for an electric motor which can also be a generator.

[GrrCON] Security on the Cheap – Joel Cardella (2014)
This is part of Volvo's new engine design (see http://autoweek.com/article/car-news/volvos-new-electric-sup...) And it is a valid question if it is a 'super' charger or a 'turbo' charger. I go with 'super' as the motor powers a generator which provides the electric power in concert with batteries. However if the batteries are simply charged braking action (regenerative braking) and then that charge is used to provide the low RPM compression boost its kind of a turbo and kind of not. (otherwise wasted energy being recycled for better engine performance). I'm guessing that an thermoelectric intercooler doesn't provide as much improvement but it would be fun to have both working together.
It's a self-signed cert - and just as encrypted as it would be with a traditionally signed cert.

Actually it doesn’t appear to be a self-signed cert in this case - or even necessary. That cert is playing fine with both safari, and GNU Wget 1.14.

True in much of Silicon Valley (especially places like Palo Alto, which want to retain a suburban layout), but there's some moderate densification going on in San Jose.

But construction seems to be back in swing again now.
I live in Manhattan and I now prefer to take Uber/Lyft to the airport whenever there's no surge pricing. Taxis are _supposed_ to have flat pricing but I've never found that to be the case: given all the bridge/tunnel tolls, baggage fees, and airport taxes, I'm consistently charged anywhere from $80-$120 one-way from Midtown Manhattan to LGA (+tip). In comparison, Uber uses GPS tracking to automatically figure out which tolls to tack on, and it costs me $63.

Older versions of wget didn't like wildcard certs (IIRC). I remember this being an issue around the time that github.com when https-only a few years ago.

It's possible that this is necessary here (on older versions of wget), or that using '--no-check-certificate' is a bit of a cargo-cultism by the author (who learned to use it, but doesn't know why and when usage makes sense).
Yes me too! I am curious to know the motivation behind it as well. I have been putting on the back burner going through the "Dragon Book" and I figured a project like this would be motivation to finally get around to it.
I used to think that it was important to protect data from being stored in the US .... until the NSA leaks and the realisation that Canada is a Five Eyes member rendered it effectively moot. Now I'm simply more worried about theft or spying by non-government third-parties -- the security in place rather than the laws that apply to the service provider. But that's just me.
how about running the internal combustion engine at constant rpm, and use the electricity generated by the exhaust turbine to charge the batteries on a hybrid?

I saw the JS demos a few months ago and was blown away. It seems like the community is really thirsty for NN tools and materials, and the way you are going about this (interactive JS) is right on the money? Why not engage the community to keep building the site up, then? You may want to look into open-sourcing the entire site + the JS library, it may really pick up steam. Worse case, it breaks apart (can always reclaim it), but the exercise could be a very interesting one.
