Hi!

I'm also one of the founders. We all have extensive open source experience, have grown up in open source communities, and love open source. We're not committing to 100% open source yet. We'll be pragmatic.

We all want to open source as much as useful to the community, rather than just a code dump. This will probably look like open sourcing the individual libraries we use to build the client, rather than a single open-but-monolithic client. The client is written mostly in javascript[1] so we'll be publishing modules on NPM when the modules we need don't exist already. I think we'll need to build a Go client library pretty soon also. So, for the purpose of code re-use and learning, we'll be open source.

I'm sure we'll also be sharing the complete source for the purpose of security audits. If this is your concern, the answer is Yes, we'll let customers see the code they're relying on for their infrastructure.

Hope that helps!

Assuming you are trying to say that artists deserve to get paid for their work, I very much agree. Many people consider themselves to be working in creative professions (many of us on HN do this) and all demand excellent wages for our work. I think a visual artist is deserving of the same!
> there's no doubt in my mind that the prices for all art, masterpieces included but especially contemporary, recent, and new art, are completely out of whack and ridiculously overpriced. I am sorry, but it seems sick to me to see new artists selling art out of their first shows for between $30,000 and $40,000. Something's gotta give.

I give this person the benefit of the doubt as having thought about this a lot more than I have, but this surprises me. Why is it bad if new artists are able to make a living?
Given the supplied instructions, it is not possible to write a program that handles floating point correctly, so my guess is that the failure conditions are non-integer numbers in locations 0 or 1.

My code also doesn't handle negative integers correctly, but I'm pretty sure there is a way to do it.

However, given that it is possible to write a program that works for all integers, and that this is an entry question for Oxford, "As correct as possible given the constraints of the problem" would be the right answer.
What I don't really get from the article is, why? The article seems to be a technical explanation of the procedure to freeze someone's brain. but it doesn't really explain why you'd do that in the first place (probably being revived in the future) and what the actual possibilities of this are.
Why is this meaningless?

I've always thought of football as a safety valve for European nationalism, particularly in Germany, where there aren't a lot of opportunities to wave the flag and get tribal without creeping everybody out. Having those displays (mostly) demoted from politics to sport has been a huge cultural victory for the older EU members.

Of course artists should be able to make a living, but spending that much money on unknown and inexperienced artists suggests that the relationship between the monetary value of art and the quality/importance of it is completely out of whack. But it's not as if that's news to anybody.
I believe that Microsoft not releasing versions for Linux / Mac OS X is going to not allow Edge to get maximum adoption.

How am I supposed to test that my website works on Edge properly? The only option thus far is to setup a VM with Windows 10 on it so that I can run a browser to test my website.

I dont even bother testing stuff on IE x for that reason.

It's last-chance life support. It probably won't work, but it's a hell of a lot more likely to help me survive than leaving my corpse to rot in a box underground. It's a long bet, and not very likely, but it's still better than all the alternatives, at least for me.

It's entirely possible that I might choose not to live forever someday if I have the choice, but I'd prefer for it to be my choice when I opt out of the rest of forever, rather than being left up to whenever my body happens to fall apart or be sufficiently damaged.
thats depends on the kind of art and the audience it attracts. its great for musicians and other popular art forms, but if painters start making art with the mindset of selling many copies of it, many will be disappointed

All of this happened by the mid-1920s. As of 1925, the number of cars per household in USA was 0.6. (It would later peak in the 1980s at 2.2.)

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Transportation_Deployment_Caseb...

Is your hypothesis that the poor folks got cars first?
Exactly. Most of these companies are in great shape. But there will be a few where investors with preferred stock will pull out, resulting in stifled growth and agility. For highly competitive and Thielesque-monopoly situations that might spell defeat, resulting in loss of faith from common stock holders as well. Lots of value will be lost in one place, but that's more a result of scale, not artificial inflation. Moreover, it will not signal a bubble burst for the rest of the industry. I wish it could even promote less speculative behavior.
Aral Balkan gave a superlative talk a few days ago at re:publica 2015, called Beyond The Camera Panopticon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jh8supIUj6c

It's a broad overview the current state of the internet as seen through a cyberpunk, pro- freedom, human rights, and privacy perspective. Aral is a dynamic speaker and delivers it with a delightfully dark and sardonic voice. Really one of the best talks I've seen on the topic.
Are you not from the US? Being "on call" is pretty common in certain professions. Doctors, for instance. A lot of vital IT workers are on call all the time. If a server goes down in prod, who are they going to call?
> MemGC (Memory Garbage Collector) is a memory garbage collection system that seeks to defend the browser from UAF (Use-after-free) vulnerabilities by taking responsibility for freeing memory away from the programmer and instead automating it, only freeing memory when the automation has detected that there are no more references left pointing to a given block of memory.

Interesting; I don't think this has been announced before. It sounds similar in concept to Chrome's Oilpan (still not shipped AFAIK).

Thank you, it's good to be aware of how things look to outsides.

People have opinions. Sometimes, missing the opportunity to understand the other side of the equation, they attach an oversimplified label in order to make their opinion seem obvious and correct. Usually, though, it is an honest expression of their opinion however much they are ignoring the other opinions around them.

As you correctly point out, it is very common. You can choose to break the cycle, if you like. Acknowledging the other person's opinion as valid is the first step. After that, you may or may not want to encourage them to expand their view. However, if you think that the other person is unable to understand this point you may choose not to waste your time.

I suspect that you could find a simplified label to describe the comment of the parent post, but perhaps it would be better to consider their opinion as valid and move on.
> You might not remember your great-grandparents but your DNA does. Your family culture does. Much of what makes you, you is built from their legacy.

This sounds like a person arguing on behalf a cast system. Without the right family culture and DNA you can't possible be successful/worthwhile, lets just put those people in a cast to save time, easy labeling for all! Maybe if you breed with a better cast and become part of their family your future would be brighter, so we will arrange a marriage to make this so. This isn't some far off idea - this is the norm in some places, and it is disgusting.

Do you support eugenics? Do you think less of intelligent people who choose to adopt rather than breed? Do you think overpopulation is a non-issue? Do you believe cast systems are useful?

Human knowledge and functional advancement is vastly more important than genetics or children. Jonas Salk had three children, but anyone who claimed "his children are his greatest accomplishment" would be laughed at. His impact on mankind was direct. Direct impact is always better, because no matter how many generations your DNA is passed on, it is all meaningless until they at some point take action and do something. Mindless breeding is something rabbits can do.

There is this desperately sad tendency to want to "pass the buck" to children... sure, MY life was a huge waste, but maybe my children will be something special, maybe it was all worth it because of them.... or my grandchildren. People who do something in the here and now are to be admired because they are a rarity.

I see it's going to be a Windows Store app.

I wonder how this will affect the usability for people like myself, who never see the metro side of windows unless I accidentally move the mouse near the wrong side of the screen, or accidentally hit the Windows key. Any time I see a metro app like the horrendous metro version of Windows Update, I moan that it's there like a false positive, close it and find the normal version that isn't awkward to use.
Mediterranean Diet Boosts Brain Power, Clinical Finds
Intellectually I'm with you completely. But I think I wouldn't want to go the the replica Louvre. I have certain stories in my head that I don't want to give up.
I'm a business guy not a technical guy, so these projects will reflect that. By day, I'm a consultant helping mid-sized companies build growth management systems, so these projects reflect that a little as well.

There are 3 markets here - Coaching, Tourism, Barristers - so I'd love to hear from anybody also playing in those spaces.

1) I'm building the business system for a business coaching organisation. They're nominally competitors of mine, but I think they have a great niche and expertise and more clients would benefit if they had a systemised approach. This might scale for other coaching / consulting companies.

2) I'm researching micro-operators in the Travel and Tourism space, to see if an approach to strategy and traction I built for a similar organisation can be shared at scale and at their price point. Finding it challenging, because many of these micro businesses don't want to grow / invest in growth.

3) Early market feedback from Barristers indicates their 'business' training is inadequate. I've developed an overview for building a Bar practice from pre-startup to a thriving specialisation, and am currently talking with potential partners in their area of specialty (eg, personal financial planning).

So my focus is seeking scale. These aren't going to disrupt the world, but they're also 'not another to-do list app' so I feel I'm helping.

Ideally, the process of cryonically preserving someone's brain would be like an extreme form of the stasis we hope to be able to put people in for long space voyages. You might be legally dead by today's standards, but just asleep in practice.

This is where things get incredibly weird for cryonics. Any competent practitioner is going to amass a large number of people who are legally dead today, but may be viewed as "just sleeping" in the future. Where is the boundary between these two states? At what point do these frozen brains transition from specimens with no rights to human beings?

Say that, in the not too distant future, the technology is invented to resurrect the frozen. At this point, the cryonics company will have something clearly different from medical specimens in their tanks. However, what if the resurrection tech is prohibitively expensive? Even at cryogenic temperatures there is atomic movement and, necessarily, slow and subtle degradation. Some frozen "sleepers" might not survive long enough for resurrection to become affordable enough for them, assuming the assets they set aside for resurrection weren't wiped out by bad investments. Do these doomed sleepers have any rights? Will the cryonics company be obligated to revive them at a loss? What if the company goes bankrupt? Could people be brought back as indentured "heads in jars" and expected to work off their debt? Will brains frozen today even have any skills or knowledge the future will want?

Cryonics raises a lot of questions for the present and, potentially, even more problems for the future to solve.
Beyond the Camera Panopticon (Aral Balkan)
I think the equivalent of jamming a block of solid aluminium into a spinning blade would involve some kind of anchoring.

It would ruin the car and likely damage the road but as long as the passengers can be protected from the rapid deceleration, it just might save a life.

OTOH you could just wrap the entire car in airbags and protect pedestrians the same way you protect the passengers. Not sure how practical or useful that would be, though.
Yeah, I've met some of them too. Edge is still slow and missing a thousand niceties that everyone takes for granted in Firefox and Chrome.
Why are you switching to EE? The most interesting questions EE can address are in the CS domain. EE is the past, CS is the future. CS is to EE as Architecture is to knowing how to use a hammer, nails, and a saw. And I say this as an MSEE.
This is categorically incorrect.
Right, but for bones, the structure of the skeleton in place is what's interesting, not so much the fact that it's original.

For Van Gogh's work, the image itself is not really what's amazing about it. They are quite nice if that's the style you like, but if you've ever seen one of his originals up close, you can tell that it's actually more of a color bas relief made with oil paint. I find them to be exquisite in person.

If someone made Van Gogh reproductions that actually were more or less accurate in terms of the sculpturey nature of the works, I would spend at least a thousand dollars to have one of my favorites.

I don't know too many other artists that have paintings that are like Van Gogh's though, where it's not just the image, but the material that's the soul of the work.
For me, personally, I'd be delighted to have some really good Rembrandt and Goldie forgeries (that is, copies executed in oils), and maybe a few impressionists. The texture of the works is a big part of the experience. But I'd also like the originals to be available as part of our shared cultural history and heritage, rather than locked in a vault to gloat over.

That said, the shared culture/history is undermined by the way many galleries and museums behave - my wife is a painter and is moved to fury by the way that sketching and painting is now forbidden by many institutions; the artists being exhibited may well have learned their own trade sitting in a museum copying the revered masters of their own era; that options is denied to modern students.
>Technically speaking, not factoring time on loan to exhibitions, Women of Algiers has only been on public view for the last ten days.

What is that supposed to mean? That's essentially saying that, except for a very common method of having art viewable by the public in museums, it wasn't viewable by the public. That seems like a completely pointless observation.
That is approximately 10 hours of simulator work a day, plus other regular work.

Agreed that you need work very hard for success. But at what cost? There is a balance. If a person can't be there for their newly born child, one might as well not have a kid at the first place.

All of us have been in situations where we had to put our head down and work marathon hours straight for days to get things done. We've also had days when we had nothing to do. We are not bots to clock $x amount of time of time everyday.

So an informal propaganda campaign was launched, featuring some selective truth (the burn photographs) and some lies (the idea that the coffee served to her was way hotter than coffee you and I are used to).

Exactly. The other effect is to move the Overton window. Prior to the propaganda campaign, those of us who would have said Liebeck wasn't even entitled to compensation for her actual medical costs would have been branded as unsympathetic and a bit cold-hearted. Now, we'd be considered baby-eating monsters with opinions too radical to be a part of public discourse.

These sort of lawyers are extremely good at being convincing, that is pretty much their job after all, and in a non-adversarial context it is not suprising that they are able to convince most people.
