Hey, maybe someone of the hardware folks in here can help me out: couple friends and I want to do a student project with gsm-enabled IoT devices. Does anyone know a chipset vendor that is willing to work with students?! Chipset requirements are not huge, it should support 3G or EDGE, Wifi, CSI/DSI for screens and camera and if possible a couple of GPIOs.

We don't really want to go the route of using unlicensed phones like this one or hacks with a rpi and dozens of shields, so it'd be cool if there's anything available...

"Our equity prices now mostly represent central bank interest rates."

What are you talking about?. I fear you may be confusing the Fixed Income market with the Equity market.

Equities (in general, as a class), are negatively correlated with interest rates. Specific sectors though (e.g. Banks) may be more positively correlated to interest rates - but overall, the link is tenuous, at best.

They're trying to control the "tube"[1] (if you will) of information. That's not to say they'll do a good or bad thing with it, but I think the ideology here is that "open access" is "better" than "controlled access" - especially when it comes to something like the internet.

The analogy would be closer to the Rockefeller relationship with Oil. They controlled the entire system (and was eventually found to be a monopoly and broken up).

The above comment wasn't meant to say that Facebook is going to do harm (intentional), but that it's "harmful" (for the overall internet ecosystem) for Facebook to control internet access (for close to 2B people) like this.

Sleep is number one. Without it, you will think much much slower. When you are deprived, parts of your brain shut off and 'rest'.

Once that's taken care off, stimulant is another way. Coffee in general is a widely accepted way to accelerate thinking.

As some people mentioned, general anxiety or fear/emotion could impact thinking both positively and negatively. A healthy dose of cortisol could improve performance but too much of it especially if you get into panic/terror mode would impede fast thinking.

Fasting once you past through the low glucose phase could actually help assuming you are not one of those who are plagued with persistent brain fog due to lack of fuel during a fast.

Toxic load matters. If your body chemicals are out of whack or intoxicated it might cause brain inflammation which would impact your thinking.

But more importantly the baseline is genetics - how your brain is wired really matters. The amount of grey matters & glia along with the unique way your body myelinate connections impact how fast you could think.

Nootropics - could help to a certain extend but they ALL have side effects, some permanent so I don't recommend them.
Ask HN: What do you think about my startup (website and app) itemzapp.com?
First of all, the startup: http://itemzapp.com

It's a task management app where you get tropies for doing your job (or naming the project "project". It's a bit wild.) We combined productivity solutions such as GTD and Kanban with gamification mechanics. I hope you like the idea and also how we managed it.

We're currently in a beta, but we'd like to launch this summer/fall. We're still struggling with some ux ideas how to improve things, so we can serve better ou users.

We'd love any comments on the website, app itself or general concept you could write. The main questions we'd like to ask are:
1. Would you use such app?
2. Is the sign up on the website visible?
3. Is the website structure clear or would you change something?

If you used the app:
1. Did you go through the tutorial?
2. How is your first impressin when you see itemz board? Do you like it or would you change something?
3. Do you like the column or list view better?
4. IS there anything that bothers you or is poorly designed?
5. What do you think about trophies - would you like to get more of them or they're just something it the app that doesn't really matters?
6. Anything else you'd like to comment is fine! We'd love to discuss it!

Remember, anything you say is just solid gold for us!

Thank you for looking into it!

Shit, I'm old.

I remember when Wing Commander III came out and I bought a CD-ROM drive just so I could play it. At this special point in history, a typical hard-drive could store maybe one or two CD's worth of data at most. CD's were #$%^ing magical. Suddenly, games and educational programs could make use of video. Truly, it was a leap forward in technology.

Just a few years later, at university, the "brotherhood of the golden disk" was passing around the latest games on CD-R's. Diamond's first mp3 players were a curiosity the rich kids had, and we were playing mp3's we'd downloaded off of usenet on an ancient sparc3 that could just barely decode them in realtime. I splurged on a CD-R and suddenly I never had to delete anything ever again. When AOL discs arrived in the mail, it seemed strange that anyone would just give away something as valuable as CD's!

A few years later, I was using AOL CD's as coasters. I had a storage box built for 5-1/2" floppies that was now full of CD backups of files I'd never look at again. USB key drives had yet to arrive so, if I wanted to transfer tiny source files around, I'd burn a CD and not worry about all the wasted bits.

Today, a lot of computers don't even come with DVD drives. Apple never even bothered to properly support Bluray. By the time BD-R drives came out, hard-drives were an order of magnitude larger. Now they're nearly two orders of matnitude larger. Backing up a large hard drive onto BD-R's now would be more tedious than backing up a hard-drive to floppy discs when the first CD drives came out. Depending on where you are, it might actually be faster to transmit data half-way across the world than to burn it to a BD-R disk.
Surely there's a line where this becomes copyright infringement?

This is definitely true, and to be honest, it's something of a mystery to me why the OpenVZ work has been essentially a second-class citizen for that decade. If Linux had taken path lit by OpenVZ (which is to say, if Linux had taken back the OpenVZ changes), the security gap between Linux and FreeBSD/SmartOS/illumos might have been closed much more quickly -- but as it stands (with the OpenVZ work essentially discarded in favor of the much more immature namespaces), Linux isn't on a trajectory to offer multi-tenant security via containers in the foreseeable future...
SAP Systems have been doing this for many, many years live and in production for DST adjustments. Not sure about leap seconds.

I see it the other way. I wouldn't use gmail for anything important. You have no control over it, the account could be banned at any time without any warning. So for me having your own domain for email seems to make more sense. Even if you host it with Google.

This is so right. It's not that the rich countries can't do anything to help, but that they are so often clueless in their approach. Internet.org is one such example even if you assume it's well-meaning.

This reminds me of all the ridiculous cheap laptops for the Third World projects - all of which completely failed. Meanwhile the factories in China keep churning out ever-cheaper laptops and phones which are having a real impact without any of the grandiose talk about Helping The Poor.

Cheaper laptops work. Laptops with hand-cranks because The Poor Don't Have Electricity don't. Internet.org is at best the Internet with a hand-crank. It's not even a step towards solving the problem.

I live in India, FWIW.

My major gripe with internet.org is that its not really "for the poor". The minimum requirement for internet.org is an Android smartphone, which costs atleast 6000 INR (100 USD).

If someone has the purchasing power for an Android smarthphone (over say, a dumbphone that would cost 1/6th of that), you definitely have enough to pay for data charges (which are in the range of a 2-3 USD per month at most). I used to browse internet on Opera Mini on a "pay-as-you-go" plan (something like 0.1 INR/40kb I think) and I paid less than 1 USD/month for that.

My usage was certainly minimal (HN + GMail + Google News + Facebook) with images turned off. But now that I have the purchasing ability to buy a smartphone, I do have enough to pay for a costlier data plan as well (3-4 USD/month).

Paying <5% of your phone cost a month for data charges is not that hard.
I love the idea, but what about copyright issues? It's easier for Hollywood to take down a single site than to take down thousands of people having an installed application.

Popcorn Time has succeeded in streamlining the delivery of content, providing a smooth and fast experience for sorting through a list of movie and start watching instantly. I really wonder why the movie studios cannot take a cue from this and build something that people actually want to use.

Not to oversimplify this (things are not black and white etc. etc.), but it seems like the world is in a constant struggle between cynicism, greed, egotism and hypocrisy on one hand vs. idealism, generosity, selflessness and integrity on the other. In many cases, the former wins. Internet.org is just another one of these cases. Hopefully, there will be enough initiatives without a hidden agenda to balance it out.

The best thing about AOL CDs were the plastic cases they came in. These were invaluable back when you would buy spindle of 100 CD-Rs to burn but then didn't have anywhere to put them!

At some point they wised up and started putting stickers on the cases that you could not easily remove. Nevertheless, I still have tons of old CDs in AOL cases at home...

Never kept the AOL CDs unfortunately!

This reminds me of joker[1], with the benefit of not expecting you to feed it a torrent (or expecting you to know what a torrent is).

That's the Archive's business to deal with. They probably have exemptions (like they are allowed to host all those games legally).
You know the traditional business model of Hollywood is well and truly broken when an open source application like Popcorn Time comes along and does everything right. What Popcorn Time has done by making accessing content on demand easier than ever before is nothing short of impressive.

They're the Netflix of piracy and I think Hollywood can learn a lot from Popcorn Time (but as history has proven, they won't).

Love this! I'm closest to a Conversation Manager but I recognised quite a few friends and colleagues in other roles.
When I was busy a few months ago archiving the AOL download areas, I found some undocumented file areas full of AOL betas. I downloaded over 10gb of them.. at 100-200kb/s. There were more, but I figured the rest of the channel I was working with (related to archiveteam funnily enough) would get them... and then AOL killed the downloads back in January this year. (They probably still exist on the servers though - you can still get at the metadata!)

Anyway, I figured a friend of mine might want them; he said he did, so I uploaded them to him (at my crappy 768kbit/s upload speed it took an entire weekend!). Upon completion he said he no longer wanted them.

Um.

Anyway, I just contacted Jason Scott. Hopefully he'll be willing to wait a few days. Or I could just burn the file to a BD-R, I have a bluray burner and a spindle of BD-Rs somewhere that I've never used.
