bobbles··on Western Digital makes a $46, 314GB hard drive just for the Raspberry Pi
This is really awesome, hopefully there is a case soon that accommodates it for a neat little package
bobbles··on AlphaGo shows its true strength in 3rd victory against Lee Sedol
So what happens if we play AlphaGo vs AlphaGo?
bobbles··on Pixel C is 25% off for developers
On the actual page (not the OP page link):

"The Google Store Promotional Codes Terms apply. Offer2 only available in the United States while supplies last. Privacy Policy"

bobbles··on AlphaGo beats the world champion Lee Sedol in first of five matches
The thing is though we could already be 10+ years along the path to that next revolution, it wont start being talked about until its basically here
bobbles··on Amazon to start air delivery network with leasing deal
Maybe this is where a hyperloop can shine? Direct point to point transport at massive speeds, without people in the cargo to go and get themselves killed
bobbles··on Swift Evolution acceptances: The big three
I think you meant to reply to bigdubs
bobbles··on BMW Australia Refusing to Comply with Terms of GNU Public License
People buying used cars is pretty common...
bobbles··on SurveyMonkey to Lay Off 100 and Retool Business Product
Heh I'm pretty sure we started using a different survey system purely because everyone hated sending out 'surveymonkey' links.

They should call their business side 'engage<something>' or whatever...

bobbles··on Can planes be tied in knots in higher dimensions the way lines can in 3D?
if you selected a single point on a plane and pulled it upwards you could then knot it very similarly to a line couldn't you?
bobbles··on Microsoft, Google, Facebook Back Apple in Blocked Phone Case
Think of it more like going to a company that builds safes. Not asking them to blow the door open, but invent some magical safe breaking tool (that has never existed) and would then allow them to open whatever safe they want.

Nevermind the fact that the point the safe company success relied on trust that you cannot break into their safes in any way.

bobbles··on Apple Is Said to Be Working on an iPhone Even It Can’t Hack
Also after 5 failed attempts - you can test with an unregistered finger
bobbles··on Google Launches Fresh-Grocery Deliveries
Woolworths and Coles have been competing on this in Australia for some time now.

You shop online in the same categories as the shelves in a real store, then arrange a 3-4 hour delivery window.

So much better than going into the store, plus they do stuff like 'you bought this last time'

bobbles··on Japanese firm to open world’s first robot-run farm
If you want to grow vertically, you need to be able to control light as your own farm will be blocking the sun from half or more of the crops
bobbles··on Too many people have peed in the pool
Like the commenter below/above. Hearthstone restricts this to a set of common wordings such as greetings, well played, etc.

You also have the option to 'squelch' the opponent at any time, which mutes them completely.

bobbles··on We Are Hopelessly Hooked
I just disable all notifications other than SMS and phone calls and life is good
bobbles··on How People Learn to Become Resilient
You can even see it in babies/toddlers when they fall over or something and look straight to the parents to see what their reaction should be.

Fretting leads to bawling and encouragement to get back up helps them just get one with whatever

bobbles··on Apple fans are coming to hate Apple software
>If i'm not mistaking, you're OS X device costs you 4 times more every month then the sum of every online webservice i use.

Well.. you need something to run those things on

bobbles··on Apple Ordered to Pay $625M to Patent Troll in FaceTime Lawsuit
Doesn't work when the companies in question exist purely for patent lawsuits
bobbles··on Show HN: AskIzzy – a mobile website for homeless people
Exactly, and the next problem is that it seems like EVERY real estate site does this. I have not found a SINGLE site in Australia to look for rent OR buy real estate, that actually filters based on what I enter. They are all useless
bobbles··on Show HN: AskIzzy – a mobile website for homeless people
Yeah but what this actually does is "great, since they competency ignored my search criteria, I will no longer use this search"

I know what my budget is - I'm not going to search for 10% under that in the hopes that the fuzzy logic brings up exactly what im looking for

bobbles··on FlapIt: A physical counter for all your social accounts
It'd be great to instead get a set of custom icons for the first flap, then you could use it to track anything, like weight loss, 'days since X', consecutive coin flip results, etc
bobbles··on Winning Hyperloop design revealed by MIT engineers
They talk about a vacuum tube and so on but specifically the point of the hyperloop was that it WASNT a vacuum tube
bobbles··on Show HN: AskIzzy – a mobile website for homeless people
Offtopic, but I don't suppose you could provide any insight into why real estate websites ask for search filters and then completely ignore them?

(eg. if i search for a max limit of $750K, top page of results will all be offer 800k+ sites? - Why let me set a max then ignore it?)

bobbles··on Facebook at Work
Do you really think people would post the same stuff to their 'work feed' as their 'personal feed'?

Actually you know what.. probably

bobbles··on Good CEOs aren't busy
Sometimes I read these things and wonder... Does anyone really think that the CEOs job is doing the grunt work.

Like I get that everyone does stuff at a startup, but are you really a 'CEO' if the business isnt even big enough for someone to be dedicated to building out the business yet.

I dont even know if i have a point, but i dont really think anyone is going to read this and go 'of course! all this time i shouldve been a CEO instead of not being a CEO'

bobbles··on Teen flew from Sheffield to Essex via Berlin because it was cheaper than train
When my wife and I were travelling around europe a few years ago we decided to fly back into manchester instead of london, thinking it would be great to catch a game (of anything) and then head back to finish the trip.

Was a complete surprise that we ended up paying about 160 pounds each, and coming from using australian dollars was a complete kick in the face.

Horrible way to end a great trip

(For comparison, an equivalent train trip today in australia would have cost us about 50 pounds for the two of us)

bobbles··on Show HN: A support network for working remote – my idea to overcome cabin fever
Great logo! Just signed up
bobbles··on The Sega Saturn and Transparency
Wow that's a great indication of the composite cable reducing quality, I've never really seen an example of that before
bobbles··on Show HN: Pact, a simple utility that kills all procs given to it if one dies
Insensitive to whom? all the dead people?

What about 'killing a process'?

What about 'master / slave' relationships?

Terms get used for purposes other than offending people

bobbles··on Show HN: Pact, a simple utility that kills all procs given to it if one dies
And such a card exists!
