They state in the first paragraph of explanatory text, "Replace consumable every 6 months!" No, they don't emphasize this, but they don't hide it either. I think flagging this is a bit harsh.
Currently not. Actually you are the first to ask and it sounds like a great feature:) most likely that would mean you host jitpack on premises. It's something we don't provide yet but it is on the road map.
I was involved with theater when I was younger, and would always read the script 50-60 times outside of rehersal. Halfway through a 4 month production, I would not only know my lines, but they would come to me naturally, leading me to interact as if I was that character.

The book I've probably read the most is One of the Eragon books.... last count I was at 24 read through. I really love that book. You do notice something different every time
How Token Based Auth Works for SPAs
They are not presenting the product in layperson's terms. They are misrepresenting it as badly as saying, "A car that runs on rubber! Just add tires!" and then making money by selling buyers gasoline.
With the term "powered by water and salt", it makes it seem like the battery can be "recharged" by replacing the salt. This is not the case, when the battery loses power, the battery is "recharged" by replacing the copper and zinc electrodes (or whatever metals they are using).

So a less scammy description would be to say that is is powered by copper and zinc. This is more correct both technically and to a layman.
Article is from 2009. I was wondering if this was a reaction from the vaguely positive press C++11 and C++14 were getting lately, but it's not.

Love this project, almost surprising that nothing like this exists today for the maven world.
Well connected parents also lead to greater business/work opportunities. Even putting nepotism type deals aside, the right introductions can help tremendously. Case in point Microsoft...
So this is a battery-powered lamp, where the saltwater is merely the electrical conduit and the battery consists of the cathode and anode, perhaps carbon and zinc. We already make batteries of this type, without the gimmickry:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zinc%E2%80%93carbon_battery

This same lamp could simply have a wire between the carbon and zinc, with an on-off switch - no need for saltwater except to fool people into thinking the salt is providing the energy.

It's very hard - impossible - to imagine how this device is superior in performance or cost-effectiveness over any sort of commercial light with a battery. An LED or three connected to a lantern battery, auto battery or other "large" battery will last forever, with self-discharge being the biggest problem.

LEDs with solar cells are nearly free, and last forever. Here's one for $1.98 retail, Canadian:

http://www.lowes.ca/solar-landscape-lights/paradise-stainles...

In the not-distant past, many people were concerned about electric lighting in the developing world. Cheap solar cells and cheap LEDs have solved that problem, permanently. In the near future, I'd expect to see the average third-world village a million miles from nowhere be lit up like New York City after dark.
Imagine how interesting this is going to get. You call up some bank to plead with them that you're the real you, the loan wasn't your doing, and the person you're talking to, who's disbelieving you, just spent their morning on the other end of the stick.
The first thing I do when beginning work with a new embedded platform is figure out how to bypass whatever wacky IDE its vendor wants their customers to use.
I don't really trust high star rating but I'm inclined to trust lower star ratings. What I mean by that is if an app has 4-5 stars I don't assume it's good (unless it's an indie title) I assume they paid for the ratings. If an app has 1-3 stars I will read the reviews to see if my device or my use-case are mentioned (ie. Doesn't work on iPhone X OR Works great except feature X seems broken) but if the reviews are all "This sucks!!!!" or "Don't Buy" then I will take them into consideration but it won't stop be from downloading necessarily.

Rust was announced in 2010, post is from 2009.
I would venture it's a ton easier to find Java programmers than C# ones (at the current moment), and the same story for libraries for likely the same underlying reason.

As a pragmatic issue, if you weren't already using Mono, then it would probably be wise to let the newly open-sourced CoreCLR stew for a while to find subtle kinks introduced by the process through which it was open-sourced and/or the pressures exerted upon it by full-time dev or test (or even prod!) usage on non-Windows platforms.

As a much more subjective issue, Intellij versus every C# editor is an unfair matchup. It's possible JetBrains will get into the C# editor space now that they might have more marketshare who are not on Windows, but it's probably very far down their priority queue.
The networking issues with Yosemite were the final push I needed to shrink it down to a tiny partition and install Linux on my MBP.

I'm a very happy MBP user now, and having a tiling windows manager is such a productivity boost, I doubt I'll ever go back.
On Android I would probably use Chrome if it weren't for a particular bug. I mean Chrome comes with my tablet and cannot be removed, so I'll use it unless I can't. But MathJax doesn't work in Chrome for Android and works just fine in Firefox for Android (it works in the desktop versions of both browsers).

If faced with a choice between giving up a browser or giving mathematics, I'll choose the browser every time! :)
What got me interested in the CLR in the first place was how easy it is to write a compiler for it. When insomnia hits, I'll still load F# and write a little parser and code emitter for some silly language I have been thinking of. It's fun.
"I could flood github with all the miscellaneous crap I have on my testbench."

I would say the vast majority of projects on Github qualify as 'miscellaneous crap'. Most employers these days require a link to your Github profile during the application process, which can be a pain if you have been working with closed-source systems your entire career, or are relatively new to the field (Github isn't part of most CS curriculums). Throwing up a few toy projects can be enough to get you through the screening process.

With that said, I personally wouldn't submit a project like this to HN (I have a very similar project on GH). But if it got enough up votes to get on the front page, who are we to judge.

I'm sorry, but as cool as this sounds, I closed the tab as soon as I read the words "it's a SOCIAL MOVEMENT".

Why does everything have to be a goddamn social movement nowadays? It's a lamp powered by salt and water (and - presumably, if I'm understanding this from years of playing with lemon and/or potato batteries - some cathode and anode, since salt water by itself isn't what's creating the electrical charge). That's already awesome enough. Did you really need to muddy that up with all this "sustainable" "eco-friendly" bullshit?
True, but at the time of writing, Rust was not available, yet. Can you think of another language? Much of the excitement for Rust comes because it really is the first language that tries to beat C++ (and C) at it's own game.
According to whom? And what is the current recommended GUI toolkit?
I'm going with flagging it, because the salt water is an irrelevant, uninteresting side show. Compared to the cost of the anode and cathode material in the first place, the salt water is free, so the question is "why are they even making you put it in?" to which I can only answer "deception". No, seriously, I took a moment to try to come up with an explanation that didn't involve that, but given the physics here I can't. Pitching this as either "sustainable" or "cheap for the developing world" is a lie, or some sort of collective ignorance (where no one person involved quite understands what is going on) that amounts to much the same thing.
That is total hyperbole. There are almost no PaaS that offer io.js hosting for production deployment. io.js is also beta, which is not a good idea to run production code. Node's community is much, much larger than HN's echo chamber.

io.js kept mum until the last moment before their release, with an invite-only codebase. io.js also took quite a while (> 6 months, far longer if you count the first fork attempts) to get to the first release and actually open their community -- turns out that producing a stable runtime is harder than it looks!

Let's call a spade a spade -- io.js is a great way to test out new functionality, but node.js is the stable, trusted version. io.js is the hype.

It remains to be seen whether io.js will prove itself profitable for adoption.

Also, what should I be using to connect using TLS/TCP?
I disagree, it causes laymen to completely misunderstand the product. The product is not "energy from water and salt". The product is a fixed quantity of chemical energy sold in the form of the metal anodes/cathodes. This is no different than selling non-rechargeable batteries.

it says a lot about how his goal of making sure software is libre has been shoved aside by everyone else for other priorities.

I'd call this a deep problem with how the FSF has operated to-date. It's not that libre software isn't important, or hasn't had a huge impact on the software world. But the very idea that it should be perceived as the ultimate priority in the existence of software is wrong. That viewpoint fails to understand or acknowledge how people use software and what other important risks they perceive and face related to software. As such, our libre utopia falls apart because we didn't understand that it had to be inhabited by real humans.

he probably could be "connected with the present technology" if he wanted to.

Case in point. Understanding how people use and are affected by "present technology" is key to follow-on innovations after copyleft. IMO, a significant risk to libre software is that its social innovation has not continued to adapt to the changing software landscape. For a time, that was fine because we had the heyday of free software's expansion to worry about. But there's been this tacit (or maybe explicit) assumption in the community that the GPL and "belief" in libre software are enough. But in fact, I'll posit that the real goal is to build sustaining social infrastructure for free software and information culture.
LG and Google just launched their own virtual reality headset
I'm with you on this. Five-star ratings don't pass my astroturf gut check these days. One-star [1] or two-star or three-star ratings are usually there because there is some glaring flaw that everyone is upset about, and it's usually worth reading the reviews to see if it's a problem I'll also encounter.

Fifty percent of the time, that "flaw" is a bunch of complaints about price or IAP [2]. The other 50% is crashing on certain devices. Vanishingly few people with thoughtful, in-depth grievances about an app will actually take the time to review it. They'll just delete the app and move on. So there is a bit of a selection bias at play in the ratings set.

[1] I do feel there's a big gulf between one star and two stars. At least in my anecdotal experience, a one-star rating often means the app is so buggy as to be borderline unusable, or else fundamentally flawed in some way. A two-star rating is a very different animal; it often means the app itself shows promise, but it is priced poorly, or else it has stability issues on certain OS versions or devices. Three stars is where you start to enter the territory of legitimately mixed opinion about an app's quality in and of itself. (Assuming, of course, that the number of reviews is large enough.)

[2] Incidentally, these complaints are often valid, albeit expressed in very peremptory ways. I'm not dismissing them, especially when they concern pay-to-play IAP mechanisms. But I do take them with a grain of salt.
This is a really well written book, and really makes the subject matter come alive with programming. Of course, I personally also love the fact that they have a Julia version.

For those who may not know, Prof. Sargent was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics in 2011. Also, kudos to the Sloan Foundation for funding this work. I wish there were more high quality textbooks of this kind.
>But for some kinds of applications it seems that the only viable options are still C and C++ ... and you could never, ever, make it so fast and small using any other language. C++ and C are the only options you have here.

It tests your defense against random attackers, in the same way that a fence keeps random people off your lawn.

But it doesn't tell you anything about dedicated attackers, and those are the guys you really need to worry about. Anyone who really wants in can climb over the fence, or cut through it, or drive a tank over it.

I'm not a fan of this type of bounty myself, but it might seem like a good idea if you have enough money for a contest prize but not anywhere near what would be needed for a professional audit. Even so, if your bounty is claimed, you still might want to know how much of the work for that first attack is reusable for all subsequent attacks, and that requires a second prize.
I thought the same. Publishing small JS libs is easy, just drop a Bower file and register it. For maven I need to build it, sign it, get access to a central repo (can take days) and then finally upload it.

Of course, this means that the quality is often much higher, but I think the barrier is a bit too high as it is right now.
And then I just make it sign a message sending all the btc to my address, then broadcast that publicly.

Very bad idea to sign everything that comes your way, kind of like `eval` on text input.
I'd go with PostgreSQL, takes 30-35 MB of RAM for one running connection. The entire stack (db + httpd + ruby/python/php) should take less than 150 MB. You have another ~ 300 in the prior model B.

Go should be faster and more efficient than python/ruby so I'd expect even less RAM/better performance.

SQLite3 these days is good for embedded devices but that's about it IMHO.

Output time won't scale with salinity that way. Conductivity will vary more-or-less linearly with salinity, and output power will vary more-or-less linearly with conductivity, so with lower salinity you'll get less light (lots less light) but the battery will last for a concomitantly longer time.

Batteries run on the anode/cathode pair--not the electrolyte, as this page dishonestly suggests--and as such the total energy available will be determined by those, not the electrolyte.

If you wanted to use urine in this device you'd be best to concentrate it by evaporation to get a reasonable output brightness.

Depends on what you mean by "still developing for Node.js" which is subjective. Going strictly off activity, the graphs on github[1][2] show node trending ever downward from a high back in early 2012, and iojs significantly spiking upward within the last few months, approaching 2012 levels. (Obviously all but the extreme right edge of both graphs share the same data.)

I'd be interested to see a grouping of all the apps I have installed by current app store rating (Or a broader study of multiple people's devices and their "Average star rating"). Of course this data probably wouldn't mean much until it was weighted by usage, but even that is hard to quantify "use" there are apps I used that more or less "have" to use and apps that I don't need to and/or rarely use that might skew the results.

Edit:

Hmm, I'm jailbroken, I wonder how hard it would be to get a list of installed apps by SSH'ing in and then combine that list with this endpoint (No affliation with app, found link on stack overflow) https://itunes.apple.com/lookup?id=422876559 to get the ratings....
I just realized that now that it's been a few minutes since I read the article, my take-away was actually "there is a lot of value in re-reading books", rather than "you should read some books literally 100 times". I'm not sure which was supposed to be the take-away, but I think the former makes more sense than the latter! So yeah, re-reading books you like 2-3 times is a great and enjoyable exercise.
I do not understand why this post is downvoted. That there is a very large difference between "an opinion which is not aligned with mainstream" and the type of fanatical opinion here called "radical"--this should not be a controversial opinion.

Some people label all undesired opinions "radical" but that is obviously not what this poster is talking about.
Electricity from water and salt? Why don't they just use cold fusion?
Sandworm is saying that the exemption exists de facto due to the structure of copyright, since copyright violations are generally civil, not criminal.

My Dad works in biotech and he's fond of telling me the same thing about patents, which are crucial to that industry. "Patents are basically a tax that we have to pay to the lawyer industry, because a patent only exists insofar as you legally defend it. If we don't pay those lawyers, then much bigger biomedical and pharmaceutical companies will just steal our research for their profit." Or, "When your lawyers are preparing a patent, they sit you down and you have to describe exactly what you did. Then you describe it again. Then again, more and more abstractly, until you have something at the level of 'an object with a screen which a person reads medical numbers from', and they write all of this down, so that if someone steals only 50% of your idea, hopefully one of the levels in the middle is abstract enough to stop them, but not so abstract that the judge throws it out."

Copyright describes some situations during which you can sue someone else. Having this perspective changes a lot of things. Copyleft licenses say, for example, "I won't sue you unless you threaten to possibly sue someone else, unless you threaten to possibly sue them for possibly suing someone else a la this very sentence." No wonder GPL is more convoluted than BSD, which merely has to say, "I promise not to sue you; in exchange you are promising not to sue me. Also don't erase the fact that I wrote this."
