I'll make an alternative suggestion. Hire management. You want to sit in a box and code. You want someone to handle business, support, etc. People who can do that are a dime a dozen. That could be another student at the…
This video has been making the rounds. I call bullsh*t. 1. People aren't idiots. We get the idea that poor people tend to be dumb in the US because, in many cases, it's true. If you have intelligence, work ethic, and…
There is a large market. How are you planning to reach it? If you cannot go lower, I'd consider a partnership with an existing brand. You'll have to have an insane marketing budget to compete with existing clothing…
Of course. Compare the market caps of Walmart, J. Crew (which was recently purchased), Brooks Brothers (from a sane P/E ratio), Armani. Heck, try a TJ Max or similar (to avoid companies with major non-clothing…
Most people on HN are in the elite. I'd suggest trying any of the wealth calculator apps, and figuring out which percentile you're in. And please post here once you've done that. Or, go here:…
Amazon is the new socialism. There are basic services which the government ought to provide -- access to unlimited books, movies, music, software, and similar. It's dramatically more economically efficient that way. The…
Wrong conclusion. There's a difference between bad idea and bad execution. MailChimp is a business site. Twitter and Facebook are personal mediums. There's a mismatch. As a manager, I wouldn't want my employees using…
This contest is a sham. Crypto has to be secure against things like known-plaintext attacks and similar. That's typical in any real-world setting.
All data deleted is a dick move. Google should at least be able to preserve takeout data for eternity.
Keep it in a public github repo. Voila! Instant compliance.
Got screwed this way be Sears. Won't shop there again.
Having used both git and hg, I very strongly agree. I learned hg first. Hg took less time to master than git took learn the basics of. The syntax of git is incredibly cumbersome in comparison -- I type a lot more. It's…
A few things: * Udacity really tries to learn how to exploit the on-line medium well. Coursera tosses courses not that different from a capture of the normal university course on-line. Coursera instructors have minimal…
Personally, I'm rooting for the open software/open content model of edX, or the very high quality pedagogy of Khan Academy and Udacity. The Coursera courses I've taken were, by and large, fairly mediocre, and the…
That wasn't my point. You can do better than theoretically optimal -- indeed, their results, in many cases, do look better than sinc. Theoretically optimal makes assumptions that the source image is, in some ways,…
I claim bullshit. The theoretically optimal algorithm is, and has been known to be for 40+ years, sinc interpolation. Gimp does this (Lanczos approximation). Comparing to bicubic leaves aliasing relics and looks bad.…
This is kind of a no-duh, sherlock non-story. Fact 1: Sebastian Thrun co-developed Google StreetView Fact 2: Sebastian Thrun is developing the driverless car. A lot more goes into a self-driving car than data from how…
