I spent like a week downloading individual music videos over 28K. People will do a lot of things

The point is that after all the crap they have gone through Teslas response was that the car contained no defect, which is obviously false

I doubt fridge magnets would have anything to do with problems in a PC, they would need to be about 100x stronger than that to have any sort of impact

Something like "Chrome has autofilled 12 fields" or something more userworldy would be good.

Or massive highlighting around each field

"Tall people earn substantially more money on average, and so it seems only fair (from this short writer’s perspective) that they experience a bit of added discomfort or have to shell out extra for a roomier seat. But the overweight and obese? They receive no such life benefits, and it feels rather cruel, if not illegal, to ask them to pay extra for the same service."

Jesus...

I like the game but unfortunately Nintendo really does suck when it comes to online accounts.

I had signed in on my iPhone then also set it up on my ipad. After finishing a few levels on the iPad i went back to my phone.

The phone let me finish a level, THEN came up and said 'cant progress as you're signed in on another device' and the app crashed.

what the fuck is the point of signing up for an account if it doesnt even sync across devices

It occurred in 2013

An issue with this is that the urban environments will have so many more people in them that so many changes pushed through will benefit urban areas at the expense of rural. Australia deals with this on a massive scale since ilke 80% of the entire population lives on the coast (23 million and 10 million live in only 5 cities)

I think its pretty relevant if someone is looking for uber help that they could use the location to help narrow down who should be dealing with the issue...

I was just about to start a project with Virtual-DOM libraries, therefore this is very useful for me. Thank you for making this available!

These researchers are clearly building the wrong thing. Why would you analyze a face for criminality?

It would also be great if it said something like 'wait on the other side of the street for most efficient pickup' or something similar

A surrey with a fringe for anyone else that had no idea wtf a surrey was http://www.berkeleyfestival.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/s...

Seems like there should be a ranking for verification. Something like 'paper accepted but not replicated' being rank 1, then replicated once gets you to level 2, etc. til you hit 5+ 'validity rating'.

Might actually incentivize people then to be the 'replicators'

For me it's "This task needs time to process, but not enough time to focus on and complete another task, so let me check something. Oh crap its been an hour"

Unfortunately if he reads the article, he'd then know about the content, so could never bear to see it on HN

It would be great if they went into more detail on how the 'spot the difference' system works

My company was part of the prerelease program and its basically just like using a more professional version of Facebook. Like linkedin but internal only.

it's actually great to have a more social way of catching up with people. The main driver for us was pulling all the 'coffee machine is broken' type emails out of our 'work system' (email) and also let people share pictures of their pets and different social events going on around the world.

Plus the advantage is that there was massive uptake super quickly since everyone already had built in knowledge of how to use it from facebook.

Plus I can say stuff on there without my parents commenting on every single post i ever make which is nice...

TO put this in perspective, they made about $60 million, and paid out probably less than $60 thousand total as salary here in the 1.5 ish years the game has been out.

This doesnt really explain why it wouldn't. In fact it talks about the exact opposite where people are choosing cars over public transport

If you read pretty much any guide online about 'what lens should i get for my dslr' you'll pretty much always see whatever the 50mm f1.8 for your camera model at the top of the list. So im guessing lots of people just buy them due to that

Then im sure stage 2 is 'pay $X and guarantee you'll appear on someones itinerary as a suggestion!'

Then they have the problem of so many people using an itinerary that it starts warping its own data and thinking places are more popular than they should be based on people getting there from their own recommendations.

cool problems to solve though

I guess it helps you to remember that no matter how reasonably logical you think people might be, there are plenty of people out there who will eat random food they find off the ground

Pretty much the only reason I can touch type is from smack talking people during Quake sessions

Coming from australia and not familiar at all with Webpass... is the latency low? ie. could people use this for gaming internet connections?

Well I've been reading Mac and Apple related stuff basically daily since the iPhone came out, and have never even heard of these guys.

That paragraph wasn't part of the quote, it ends the sentence before "If Valve..."

To me a smart blender is one that is available for use in my kitchen when I need it, and not when I dont need it (ie. wasting space).

Amazon style drone delivery + rental of household appliances is the future imo. A great way to save space in ever smaller city housing too

Being indispensable can also severely impact any chance you have at progression within an organisation.

If they know they can't promote you or everything will fall over you're always going to get looked over compared to someone with a similar skill set but no 'baggage'.

Eh this will happen anyway.

Just think of it as industrially produced beer vs craft beer, there will be market for both if theres reason for there to be
