I'm amazed by how many companies I first discover via their shutdown announcement on Hacker News.
The "ensure they use it" is the part that is uncertain, and thus the 'scam' aspect. Amazon (and other vendors) are betting that a significant percentage of end users will not actually use it, and the seller will get to…
Definitely agree that empowering those who's only desire is power is not a desirable outcome. As for the current crop of elites, I get the impression that there is a clear split between business elites and political…
> You're describing someone with zero intellectual curiosity and only a base form of ambition. If attending university was merely a means of satisfying your intellectual curiosity, we wouldn't be concerned about legacy…
Without networking opportunities, what possible incentive would there be to attend a top university? Especially if you aren't directly performing research, you can gain most or all of the benefits of a top-dollar…
Out of business.
If you link to that particular blog from HackerNews, he checks the referer and serves you up a nasty message instead of the blog post. So, instead of providing a direct link, search for JWZ, GNOME and CADT.
That is how most of the (American) retail auto market works, though, so it's not a strange idea.
Probably a big part is that it soaks the rice (with no heat) for an extended period before cooking. I think the soaking is roughly a third of the total cooking time.
This was never a problem in the DVD era, but started happening again with several Blu-ray releases. In most cases, these are simply "locked" rather than truly hard-subbed. (The subtitle images aren't mixed with the…
As I understand it, some of the older fansubbers went "legit" as well (ADV, perhaps?). The basic distribution model is as you described, starting with an Amiga Video Toaster or other titler. Then, local anime clubs and…
I think "blob" is being used in this case to refer to a "large undifferentiated mass".
Add some metrics to the app itself, I'd wager. Then you'll get people complaining about how the app (or app store) is spying on your every action, and phoning home.
Many of these questions are not well posed. For instance, the question, "What’s the average lifespan of the most common species of wild animals?", has a fairly simple answer. Most animals are insects, and most insect…
I'm not sure there's a Western democracy that fits the bill of a "healthy democracy", then.
If you had access to the magnetometer, you could make a navigation compass. Or, you could animate a map to rotate as the phone rotates. It might be good for implementing a GeoCaching helper app as a website.
Many years ago, a woman named Elena rode through this area on a motorcycle and documented quite a bit of it: http://kiddofspeed.com/ I have always found pictures of the decaying remnants of human settlements to be…
