I helped writing a post on business insider about push notifications acceptance rate http://www.businessinsider.com.au/push-notifications-study-2... . I hope these guys will be able to confirm this 40% acceptance rate
From a 10k foot view: if you actually manage to build something like this that you can use to trade, why would you ever publish it? No matter how small of an edge you get over the rest of the market, you can turn that into a huge amount of money, so why reveal it? The corollary to this is that if something like this is published, it means it doesn't actually work in practice.

I did a little bit of BTC trading, and I thought I had an interesting idea. I traded on one of the smaller exchanges, but uses Mt. Gox as the oracle to predict which way the price would move. The basic idea worked pretty well: there was correlation. The problem ended up being my order placing algorithm which would actually do the wrong thing on very large/fast swings.

I think that idea may be interesting to apply, in terms of correlated stocks. If you detect a price drop in stock for a lithium mining company, you might predict a stock drop for Apple, since Apple uses lithium batteries for their devices.
We're working on getting destination link/deeplink + open rate + conversion rate next. But before that we have a lot of advanced analytics features to build on top of the content itself. Product roadmap is quite packed!
In that case you have to say "no thank you" every time someone new comes along and they decide they need to be helpful without any indication from you. And that can get irritating really fast. Imagine how sick tall people must be of being asked their height. Now add to that pity and condescension.
I'm guessing a rooted phone, loaded with all the apps they can get that have notifications, and a custom scraper.
Sidecar has had this functionality for a long time.
I don't have hard data, but I think it's more common than you think. We have one employee who does it every day and I know 1 or 2 others. I would imagine everyone who lives in e.g. Woodbridge knows about slugging.
I would say an easier way to create plugins is a pretty big advantage. For some reason I've always been deterred from writing vim plugins, and like you I started using Emacs a few months ago (mostly for the haskell packages), and I feel so much more comfortable writing and editing my own extensions. I've never really looked into neovim, but they're plugin architecture looks really nice so I'll have to check it out.
I've had WiFi problems for many moons on 10.9: long latencies when pinging the router and complete dropouts for periods of 2-10 seconds every 3 minutes or so. The problem seems only to happen with certain routers. I was hopeful that my problems could be explained by the AirDrop issue (i.e., maybe I was only having problems when in proximity to certain computers using those troublesome routers).

Sadly, I don't even have the awdl0 interface. I tried taking down p2p0 but that didn't help either. Any other ideas?

I am really desperate!!!
What are you on? Not every single thing has a citation.
http://plurality.com/ - website is not very good and the company is dead. You can read more information in wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plurality_%28company%29

All our cores shared the same memory for both data and instruction and we based our synchronization of work-load on a hardware instead of software. It yielded such a huge speedup for execution time that most of the companies simply ignored our results as fake. :)

Choosing a programming language is crucial - we went with C and a declaration language for tasks. Today (4 years after we closed the company) I am not sure whether it was the best decision. The simpler the parallel definition in code the better. Programmers as getting confused easily.

Sort of. Every field has its wizards and it’s usually easy to tell them apart from the apprentices.
For those asking about what kind of applications could be created on top of this here are a couple of ideas.

Digital Pokemón Cards.
Basically the ability to create digital collectors items.

E-books that could gain value.
You could sell ebooks at a premium and allow people to re-sell them. Because the history of their ownership is recorded you could even see them gaining value if they had been owned by a celebrity.

Private but public healthcare records for research and usage.
Store the health-records publicly as personas but allow individuals people to link it with their identity. This would help with research in completely new ways.

Voting made public but anonymous
Make it impossible to fake voting results by making the results available for everyone.

Artificial Intelligence
Using the protocol to create automated consensus models.

Companies without owners
Build a company with a political purpose without any owner.
When you consistently espouse racist ideology, you're a racist. Or maybe a performance artist disguised as a Kazakh journalist, but most probably a racist. It could be that he just says these things all the time for the hell of it, or it could be that he believes what he says. I'll leave determining which is more likely as an exercise to the reader.
El diseño (no) es un juego – Por David G. Ortiz
Can't up-vote this one enough; worked at a startup for a while tackling all sorts of traffic related stuff with proprietary IP, industry veterans & more. Suffice to say that there are tons of papers out there which clearly say taking N% of the number of cars off the road reduces congestion by Y% - a very much larger impact than the number of cars taken off.

This is because traffic, in general, is really caused by a small number of cars. It seems like it's everywhere but the root cause (there was a paper even on HN that talked about it) is that people can't follow each other at an even speed. This uneven speed then results in more braking, more backup, etc. A few cars in the lead who don't accelerate properly can have a disproportionately negative impact on traffic flow and average speed.
I appreciate the perspective. I'm here to learn and to understand. It's very difficult to understand this, but I can see how it might be true.

If that's the case, the only alternative seems to be not to offer help to anyone. Is that preferable, especially if the entire world starts behaving like that?

It just seems like "Hey, do you need any help?" can't possibly be a negative. But I'm willing to accept I could be wrong about that.

This might be a small detail that matters big if you start driving for Lyft. What does your personal auto insurance policy cover if a paying passenger gets hurt in an accident in your car?
I assumed a claim as remarkable as that would come with a citation.
A tool that replaces gut-feeling intuitively, now that's a challenge. Hope you guys make it
They're asserting it imposes the singularity of experience, not "defines consciousness". One could think of the claustrum as something that prevents multi-threading.
> Hitler may not have followed all of Neitzche, but he almost certainly took the "will to power" idea from him.

Hitler reinterpreted Nietzsche's will to power, yes.

> It also seems to me that Hitler took the "superman" idea - the man who is above morality and can do whatever he wishes to those below him - but I'm less certain of that.

The ubermensch is not a moral nihilist who can do whatever he wants, he's the answer to the moral nihilism that is the inevitable consequence of the death of god. This is very hard to reconcile with Nazi ideology which promoted (their version) of Christian Protestantism and genocide for racial reasons, which Nietzsche maligned.
This is really great – though I wonder if Lyft runs the risk of people making the connection once (i.e. finding a person with similar commute times/locations who is willing to pay for rides) and deciding to arrange a paid carpool that doesn't go through Lyft.
The TechCrunch article is much more informative.

I agree. A racist is somebody who can be judged by their actions. There are many people who sound like racists, but who haven't done anything and are completely incapable of discriminating anybody based on their race. Interestingly, xenophobia in Western Europe is a bigger problem than racism.
Rohinni: Paper-thin LED lighting
I believe that's a mistake: we link to a special page (https://batch.com/insights/hn) made specifically for HN readers that lets anyone sign-up instantly and access 100% of the features we've built as of today.

EDIT: looks like it's our special page wording that caused the confusion – we're updating it right now.
Low regulatory environments with lot of capital and a motivated work force usually equals success. This is why you're on HN and I'm not on swiss-tech-news.com.
Looks interesting! I'd love to hear more about your ideal use case. Who can benefit from it? I browsed through the site and was left unsure of who exactly is going to use it. Any hints?
Looks pretty easy, I wonder if google recruits like this?
That site specifically was a porn site. Our 3.0 upgrade of the site involved a lot "get this working, NEXT!" so the CSS is kind of a mess. I've got a nice stat page to show me just how much of a mess now though!
Thanks!

As far as the crypto, right now it's just straight OTR (https://arlolra.github.io/otr/), but we have some cooler stuff in the works for non-intrusive non-ephemeral encryption.

I think the way we handle the URL mitigates a lot of potential issues (the design goal there was to make it as resistant to someone brute forcing the address space as possible, within reason):

* It expires after 10 minutes, at which point it's immediately recycled

* It's also immediately recycled the second the other guy connects to the cyph (meaning that, hypothetically, two unrelated pairs of people could be cyphing each other at the same URL)

That isn't perfect on its own, but it's good enough for almost any use case.

That said, in a few weeks we're also rolling out a two-factor auth feature to verify your friend via her phone number or email address, for when you really need to be sure. (We'll flesh this out a bit more later on, e.g. possibly integrating with Google Authenticator.)
I asked this previously without seeing that you had answered it here. So you're claiming to have a parallel interface without a SERDES running at 64-bits at 6 Gb/s? How are you maintaining bit alignment between lanes? Do you have any in-line signal conditioning or anything (CTLE, DFE, etc.)? Parallel interfaces are rarely run faster than 1 Gb/s, so 6 Gb/s sounds unlikely.
This was happening to me too. I could see the output from node that said it figured out there were multiple stylesheets, but it didn't seem to care, and just went about its business showing the first one.
It does not really matter. Either characters to use would be included in regex itself, such as [j-g] or you could use any.

For example "\D{2}\S{3}" means match 2 non-digit characters followed by 3 nonspace characters. Some things that match "aaaaa", "bbbbb", "ALUSD", "AA123"...

Site I linked really explains things quite well on mouseover. Once you complete first challenge (make sure you open this in chrome, I've had exciting quest of delete elements in firefox until I could save my solution) you can register and come back anytime later.

Your experience may have been limited, although I am not going to claim that mine was typical.

As I explained in the article, I did the things I talked about (running online services, including email and web pages, accessible from the entire internet) with a US$20/month dialup internet account on an ISP run by a group of MUDders who ran the ISP as a way to play MUDs, starting in 1997. I installed my first web server (from EIT's Webmaster's Starter Kit) temporarily on an IRIX workstation in a university computer lab, in 1994. I was an undergraduate student at UNM, a state university in the second-poorest state in the US, although I admit UNM was unusually progressive. The year before, I was an unpaid student system administration intern, with a user account on all the Suns at the math department, assigned tasks like "please get tvtwm to compile on SunOS 4.1.4; Prof X wants to use it".

I agree that it's pretty awesome that anyone who wants to pay Amazon or DigitalOcean US$5 a month (and can get access to a credit card they'll accept) can run any internet-facing server software they want. Unless they're WikiLeaks, say. Or infringing on an invalid Amazon software patent. Or just want to not have random employees have hardware access to their machine for reasons of security and privacy.

So I don't think the internet is far more decentralized. It's bigger, which is pretty great, and it's a lot cheaper, which is even better, but it's also more centralized.
The Long and Glorious History of the Turbo Encabulator
Wish we could generate a few more words for the various aspects and interpretations of consciousness. It's such a difficult thing to define that to say we've located a region associated with it could mean all kinds of things — to all kinds of people. Some spiritual people will find this to validate ideas of chakras, perhaps, while materialists will decide this is the true and only source of the "self," while behaviorists might interpret it as being merely the executive function.

Nevertheless, it's interesting research even if the findings are (as they inevitably are) somewhat overstated.
This isn't for google, it's some marketing thing for upcoming movie "The Imitation Game" (based on Alan Turing).

If behind a load balancer you can handle this at the instance level, i.e. rotate out, restart, put back in.

Depends though, sometimes this is a nifty alternative, in other cases it may not be a substitute at all.
I don't understand what this does or how it works.

"Using a new proprietary indexing technology, Batch is on a mission to track all the push notifications in the world and make them available in a centralized and unified place."

Can you track push notifications that are being sent by other applications? If so, how do you do that? Are you running a bunch of Android and iOS devices, installing apps, subscribing to push notifications in them and then gathering data that way? Or do you have a library that developers have to include in their applications?
>All you get from the Bitcoin blockchain is the ability to store some public data that's hard for anybody to alter once the data has settled. That's useful for a few special problems, but not widely useful.

You get more than that, you get a new social trust and consensus model that has never before existed. Eg, the ability for an indefinite number of anonymous, mutually untrusting participants to nevertheless agree on the state of a continually updating communal data source.

The tech is still in alpha stages, but is potentially powerful, and hence isn't cheap in terms of resources, and it shouldn't be. In fact, the big question and ultimate objective now is, is it possible to make the consensus system even more secure at the cost of even less efficiency?

Your Equipment is Expensive – Treat it well
Actually, I try blogging about my experience moving here. You can read a first draft here: http://goo.gl/EIX4UX.

Things are way cheaper than I thought, considering the salaries. As a Python entry-level developer who has to be pampered I make around 5000 Euro net-salary at a no-name SMB. I could make 10%-15% more at a bank doing Java.

The bottom-line is that I can save 4000,- Euro each month, because I spend only 1000 Euro on accommodation and food. In only one year, I will be able to buy a two-room apartment in a German town (where I like to hangout on weekends), without taking a mortgage...
A computer offers direct irrefutable feedback about your input. If you program something that doesn't work, you get a syntax error.

The real world doesn't. If your beliefs about god, religion, etc are wrong, well.. it gets a lot murkier.
I think that this is only part of the story. It isn't only that we didn't possess the technology to mass-produce these things, we also lacked the need to produce these things at all, let alone in mass-quantities.

The need for a chain that is used to transfer energy between two gears, like a bicycle chain, would only be apparent to you if you had a regular source of energy, like say an electric motor or internal combustion engine. After realizing that these things could be used to turn motors at unprecedented speeds, you would naturally look for ways to more efficiently transfer energy between the motor and a receiving point to harness the energy for something useful. Then you would design a system of gears and chains.
I managed to get 2/5 correct. I guess I'm still far too much of a noob for these things :P

To be fair, the world is huge. A "negligibly small group" could still produce "tons of examples". I don't have the data to say what the actual case is here - certainly, people like the above don't appear to be well represented in my social circles.

From how I understand it it's not so much that all the processing happens there, it's just integrated and coordinated. And that integration is what we think of as conscious thought and action.

You have to consider that there are many layers of emergence in play. A mass of neurons doesn't make a brain. A pile of neural networks doesn't make symbolic thinking. Everything needs to be linked together at a higher abstraction level to produce useful results.
Are you sure the pedant hasn't already arrived? ;-)
Or anyone, for that matter. "Do you need help" is something you can say to anyone, ill or not. What a horrible place it would be if the only people you can help are anyone who does not seem to be in immediate need of it.
What North Dakota Would Look Like If Its Oil Drilling Lines Were Aboveground
Our data at Codealike (https://codealike.com) supports the conclusions. When we cross-reference other sources of data like ALM data in our field studies we find that the ratio between actual coding vs. perceptual time (the time we think it took to solve an issue) there is at least a 1.5x multiplier, no matter the team size or the team skills.

Beware though, the multiplier will change based on team size and skill, but will always be higher :)
ass backwards. you want the next bn dollar idea?

while I am at work, my car sits in the parking lot of the building for 8-10hours, unused.

i don't want to be a lyft/uber driver. i want MY CAR to work for uber/lyft in its off hours. have a driver pick it up in the morning at the office, then return it when i want to get home (full gas tank and cleaned car for an extra fee).

someone takes this and get rich.

Oh, they do that, too. The other half of the mail cover regulation specifies the requirement for when the postal inspectors want one for their own use.
No, you have to connect to an existing ground after checking its resistance or dig a new one.

When digging the holes for new telco FTTC boxes replacing passive-only boxes, we have to measure the quality of the existing ground, usually done with either 5-10m of 2cm wide, 3mm thick flat steel about 30cm belowground, or with a steel pole rammed ~3m into the earth directly next to the old box.

Usually the flat-steel is corroded and not usable any more (because the earth simply dries out), while the 3m poles are still good enough to use them.

In case the "old ground" is unusable, we tear it out (shit, that can involve LOTS of digging) and place a 1x0.5m steel plate at 50cm belowground, so that the bottom border is at 1.00m.

In the case of building a new grounder in an urban environment, I'd choose ramming a pole. It's easier, especially in areas with loads of wires and pipework - the downside is you have to rely on sometimes decades-old plans which can be off as much as two meters, and ramming a steel pole is enough to rupture a water or, worse, a gas pipe.
Why programming methodologies are pointless
Let's imagine it is a small market and has very minimal impact (which I would disagree with), it is still showing that lyft is trying to build a better product/infrastructure to taxis, not just a comparable alternative. Ie it doesn't matter how much taxis up their game with mobile apps, seamless payments, etc - they still won't offer this type of solution.
Hmm, this makes me wonder if there's room in the market for an app specifically targeted towards people who want to find carpool partners and coordinate schedules among carpool groups.
That's the first time I've ever heard the pandas API described as "terse".

Copper? In plain earth? That will only give you complete corrosion in, depending on conditions, not even a whole year.

Usual standard is zinc-coated steel, 10mm (or larger, depending on stuff like attached lightning protectors, the diameter of the supply line and a number of other factors).
Nothing should, you can't possibly know what they actually mean and you have no context. They might be writing a movie script. They might be CIA. They might be messing with you.
For some of the spiritualists, the premise is reversed: the brain is a receiver rather than generator of consciousness. Going by that premise, the application of electrical current on the claustra doesn't necessarily mean it turns consciousness on or off, though it suggests that the current disrupts the reception of consciousness.

I personally don't find anything in here that validates the ideas of chakras.

I've been recently probing the nature of awareness (and the experience of awareness) in my meditation practice. One of the things you can find out through meditation is that what you think of as your "consciousness" is not. What meditators and psychonauts consider "consciousness" is very different than the ordinary conception of "consciousness."

I agree though, this is an interesting finding.
I think there are a lot of people that this would be a good idea for. I use my car to get to/from work, but I also like having it to use during the workday (lunch, errands, etc.). I'd be up for giving rides in the morning/afternoon but still having use of my car the rest of the time. Plus it sounds ad hoc, so I don't have to commit to someone beyond just the one time.
