Can anyone list the documents that HP wants sealed?

Currently Goldstone 14,24,25,26 and all the dishes in canberra are communicating with New Horizons. Exciting times!

Wait so does this mean, that buying a 10$ Chinese Beats knockoff is as good as buying an original one.

The Grand Design - Stephen Hawking.

Should finish it by tonight.

After that, it is time for 1984 - George Orwell.

I really want to try ramen, but i don't like meat. Is there any Vegetarian friendly ramen?

I always knew that they were doing something shady. Also their employees have to sign NDA's to work. I know quite a few people who worked at Axact. And no one is willing to tell me what kind of work he/she did there.

I naturally assumed that it had the backing of the pakistani intelligence agencies guess i was wrong.

There is also another thing that i would like to add here, there is an answer on quora which those interested should read[1].

They do give really good benefits, things like free lunch, return tickets to foreign countries for vacation and they give a car to each of their employees.

There was also a rumour going around that axact made its money by making and managing one of the largest pornographic websites on the internet. Don't know how much truth is in that. But everyone i mean everyone talked about that at one time in the industry here.

Looks pretty nice and clean. I don't know how you are using firebase in the app. But it seems you aren't using authentication. Which basically means that anyone can delete all the data in your firebase instance.

This post really does strike a chord.

The thing is that if you ask for a raise like that, you will either be

1. Shown the door

2. Offered the money but your subsequent appraisals will take a hit. Oh and once their crunch period is over they will try to get rid of you.

And i am too afraid to lose the job i currently have because i don't think i'll find a better culture anywhere else in the country that i live in.

Interesting idea, but how is it different from note keeping apps ( like evernote ) ? Infact now that i think i can actually do stuff like this using a private instagram account. The UI from the photos looks really nice though, i presume this isn't your first app.

My take on this is that either make it free for everyone or don't do it at all. If you only allow the rich to have this treatment ( is there a better word for it) then you are artificially inviting a whole new brand of racism and social inequality into the system.

Also everyone should watch Gattaca, it is one of best movies that shows how social inequality can arise in situations like these.

To kill a mocking bird was the first novel i read in my life. I was only 11 (in 6th grade) at the time and took around 3-4 months (summer break) to complete it, to be honest this was the book that made me realize that reading english literature can be an extremely amazing and insightful experience. Granted i didn't understand many things that were in it at the time but it kept me hooked.

Also i remember thinking that jean was a boy till i was 20-30 pages in realizing that she was in fact a girl.

So i simulated 2 games and both of them had a result. Quite interesting, my intuition says that there should be more draws but guess i am wrong. [1] http://imgur.com/rN1zfDD,sQXY6zQ

Aaah good old simulated annealing, i remember using it for my computational modelling based final year project (which lead to a workshop paper [1] ) where brute forcing wasn't really a viable option.

While you can never be certain that WhatsApp uses e2e encryption without a proper source code review but you can do the following to atleast check it on your side by doing the following. 1. Install Charles webproxy 2. Configure your device to decrypt the https traffic of whatsapp ( install the ssl certificate and configure proxy) 2.5 Enable ssl proxy for whatsapp. 3. Monitor whatsapp's traffic using charles web proxy. 4. If you can see random encrypted text somewhere in the request or response they are using e2e encryption.

I'll try it tomorrow might even write about it here or somewhere depending on the results.

I remember doing something like this without the neural networks that is, but my results were very very bad. If i find that project in old laptop i'll post it to github.

Team has regained contact with the lander. Signal received from both the lander and rosetta.

This is one of the guys that i have learned a lot from. Even though i have never seen him nor have i ever met him.

But his words still echo in my mind. Modern Operating Systems and Computer Networks , both extremely well written. They certainly did taught me alot.

Here is to Prof. Tanenbaum , Thank you sir , for teaching me .Even though i've never met you nor i may ever meet you in this life but you should know that some guy from South Asia is thanking you from the bottom of his heart.

Hey Dang now that we have a separate Show HN section , can we please move Show HN posts from the front page to that place (so that they don't appear on the front page anymore ?

Because at the moment 11 out of the top 30 stories are about Show HN.

It seems that now that there is a separate Show Hn section , the posts are getting more traction and in the process appearing on the front page.

No it doesn't. It is only returning that because you have the q=%3Cblink%3C in your url followed by #q=%3Cflash%3C. ( so basically it is loading the blink page and querying for the flash keyword).

Try this url https://www.google.com/search?q=%3Cflash%3E

While i was messing around with another app , what i saw was that parse apps leak their clientkeys but not the application Id. I did look more into it . parse does some sort of hashing to make an iid which is sent with each request . I am pretty sure that the iid is made from the app key and the client key. I did mess around a lot with an app using parse with charles web proxy and a number of decompilation tools i plan to write about it soon. ( as soon as i get something concrete)

Maybe they switched their network switches to use Wedge with FBOSS and it crashed under load.

Well Unity is not bad for learning , What i would do would be somthing like this .

- Learn Unity make a couple of small 3D games.

- Learn some basic OpenGL , learn to write your own shaders and understand how it all works.

- After Unity try working with other engines ( work with something like the CryEngine[1] , it costs like 9.90$ / month royalty free)

- As you make games start making your own game engine as a side project.

ProTip: Open Source it to speed up development.

I agree with you completely , i always wanted to work with him or for him , just to see how his thought process worked. He is the reason that i want to get a Graduate degree in machine learning.

This has potential , especially if you do it with the Matrix .

Is it just me or is the website really slow . It feels very laggy on Chrome 33.0.1750.152 Mac OSX 10.9 mavericks.

Hmm , they could have added two frontal camera to it , so that when you paused a game or just wanted to think or have time for your self. you could just press a button and the on screen display would start displaying what ever was in front of you.

NOOO. It makes me genuinely sad. Oculus has the potential to be a giant. Now it will be limited by what facebook has to offer. Also i am not a really a fan of acquisitions because the parent/acquiring company has a habit of shutting down these smaller companies :(.
