Early Zeppelins used rubberised cotton for the gasbags, but most later craft used goldbeater's skin, made from the intestines of cattle

Kelooon Hacker says he'll livestream deletion of Zuckerberg's Facebook page

Is it even possible? I mean FB has no such feature as delete account. (I'm sarcastic here..)

Kelooon Hacker says he'll livestream deletion of Zuckerberg's Facebook page

Kelooon Hacker says he'll livestream deletion of Zuckerberg's Facebook page

Impossible. FB doesn't have that feature (deleting an account). LOL.

Kelooon Ask HN: Moving to London soon, how to find flat/apartment?

Thank you for the reply, the idea with AirBnb is pretty cool. I see you do stuff on the web, I've got an offer from Bloomberg (Software Engineer), did mostly web development too, thank you for the contact details, I'll reach out when I'll be in London :)

Kelooon Ask HN: Is there a new habit you cultivated recently that is really paying off?

As Greg Plitt (one of my childhood motivators, may he R.I.P.) said:

The only exercises that don't make you better are the one that you don't do.

I always have this in my mind, it's been more than 5 years since I heard this.

Kelooon Ask HN: Why does the Eastern Bloc produce so many good programmers?

As someone from eastern bloc, it's always about teachers and their passion, always. It's never about salaries, government motivation, prizes or anything else. Thank the universe for those few exceptionally teachers that I had.

Kelooon A Course in Machine Learning

I'm not complaining or attacking in any way the authors, it's very cool to see a lot of material on any subject.

Yes, I googled about other subjects as well. Sometimes I'm very surprised how many tutorials and materials is out there, even on very narrow topics.

In the university ages I tried to build a self made telescope. I found a lot of tutorials and books on the subject, event how to create self-made parabolic mirrors, Internet is f*kin awesome -.-

I just wondered if people with good AI/ML knowledge can find jobs.

Kelooon A Course in Machine Learning

So many ML/AI courses out there, it's amazing.

Wondering if those ML/AI specialists can't find themselves a job and start writing courses -.-

Kelooon Facebook Location History View

We are not 20 years ago, the location history can be useful to a lot of people and in a map app this feature deserve it's place (with the possibility to opt out of course).

I understand your frustration, but I think we are exaggerating a bit because of these FB scandals. Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty sure Google is abusive in data collecting too. But it doesn't mean we need to cut all the nice features from now days technology.

P.S. Overall I agree with your point, and I think GDPR is a good start in regulating Evil corps. Hope I don't contribute to your headache today :)

Kelooon Facebook Location History View

> It's none of <oversea corporation XYZ>'s business to know where I've been

Totally agree with you.

What I'm trying to say is that the `location history` as a feature makes sense in google maps, because, well it's a map app.

But the fact that FB knows where I've been even though I don't have the FB app on the phone, only the Messenger Lite, is a total surprise to me.

Kelooon Facebook Location History View

No company in the world can handle such bandwidth :D

Kelooon Facebook Location History View

The google maps data showing makes sense (you're using maps, so why not offering the timeline of places you visited on maps).

But the FB location history to me is just out of the blue. FB was meant to be just a social network, why the heck do they need that information, I thought FB just connect me with my friends (and do things related to that). It's a bit abusive imho.

P.S. I'm aware of all the scandals, regulations, profile shadowing etc.

Kelooon Ask HN: Is the word 'Frankly' too popular in TEDx talks?

Not complaining, I just wondered if it's just me. Apparently not

Kelooon Fridge 0.1

My parents live in a village, they have basement, few meters underground (under the house) the average temperature is 0-5C (even in the summer when outdoor temp is 30C). All the food is saved there for years!

Engineering sometimes is so wrong, people before tech had a lot of simple an nice hacks!

Kelooon Airbnb's new typeface

I get Error establishing a database connection

Kelooon Ask HN: Resources for critical thinking and communication skills?

Always when I read books or articles on the subject I forget 95% of them. If you are not social by default you can try to hack it. The more tricks you have in your pocket the better (I mean healthy tricks not some NLP bullsh*t). Also I learned more on the subject by asking friends the same question you asked but in real life (face to face).
