Ah!

Woah, why didn't I know about this site? Awesome! Would be great if you'd include links to you original sources. Even though you don't include P-values in the graphics, on the detail page I would still love them just as much as Chi-square. Your tagline should be "correlation does not imply causation" ;-)

And only available in certain countries. Why? I'd like to give it a shot without hunting down a Turkish proxy.

Codefest it is. Like the sound of it.

... and you wouldn't release that separate viewer, would you? I'm planing on using a hyperlapse for a recent roadtrip through the US, including photos. I also want to create a video from the hyperlapse and add the photos via AfterEffects.

Same here :)

Thanks for creating Hyperlapse - it's awesome and is something I've been looking for! How is it possible to have multiple lookat point along a hyperlapse? Or would I have to stack multiple hyperlapses together to first look at this one point, then at the next point?

They do offer a API: An IFRAME. Just calling for "an API" isn't really constructive.

Actually their real 404 page, e.g. http://notfound.org/something.html or http://notfound.org/404 or http://notfound.org/bla.xml do display children.

What you happened to stumble upon was an existing page called 404.html, which of course is a bit funny.

Not totally true, you have to pay for retrieval for 1GB and upwards per month: http://aws.amazon.com/glacier/#pricing as well as 5cent per upload/retrieval request.

Crashplan is still cheaper for storage larger than 400GB.

Crashplan+ Unlimited is USD 2.92/month if you take the 4 year package. When I upload 300GB to Amazon and pay 0.01 * 300 = USD 3/month. Amazon would be even more expensive for larger amounts of data.

Is there some fine print I'm missing with Crashplan unlimited?

Whilst I like the service to the wanna-be-hidden uploader I think this puts you into too much risk yourself.

Imagine someone creates a torrent containing child pornography (of course taking the most extreme example) and uploads it to your server - YOU will be responsible for being the initial seeder of this torrent. I don't believe the laws in the Czech Republic will care that you tell them "oh, but it ain't my data - somebody anonymous uploaded it to my server". You still are seeding it to others.

Agreed. I think the support guy/girl did alright.

This is something I believe you should have done in the first place. You write that your e-mail setup must not be wrong as you are using Google Apps for your domain- but in the end exactly that might be the problem (wherever it stems from).

I wanted to post this too. Makes me feel special knowing that these are truly random.

Great demo. I would have used Flash/Shockwave for that in a blink of an eye a couple years back.

The "analysis" seems to be strongly favoring Google products in the Email/Calendar Cloud/Local Solution section.

- Integration with Collaboration Tools: SharePoint Online is all about collaboration. As they want to continue using Microsoft Office, there is no better way (at the moment) than SharePoint. Google's cloud connect Add-In for Office is the first try at this, but it is still rather ugly (who wants a large bar on all documents, what about using the ribbon?) They also misspelled Lync, which is the Google Talk of Microsoft, goes much further than GTalk and integrates in ALL Office applications. You can chat with the people currently editing the same document you are editing on your local computer.

- Ease of Tools Development: "Google has a more robust and documented API" - NO, simply not true. "aligned with the skillsets on campus" is a valid argument. But saying it is easier to develop for Google products than for the MS stack is a stretch.

- User Familiarity: They say, that they use MS Office. Familiarity therefore is high with Office 365.

Doesn't work for me, but data:text/html,<pre contenteditable>Hello</pre> works for me.

"We will continue to support the legacy BIOS interface, but machines using the UEFI interface will have significantly richer capabilities."

== Will not block Linux or any other OS booting. Secondly anti-trust cases would kill MS if they would block any other OS, so they won't.

"So much has been written about why Amazon has the best reviews ever" please do provide some links! I'm very interested.

I didn't think it was funny at all, very creative indeed though.

Wait?! Time's person of the year WAS Julian Assange as decided by the online community. TIME just chose to make Mark Zuckerberg the person of the year. In their words "though TIME's editors who choose the actual Person of the Year reserve the right to disagree".

Julian Assange led the vote by ~ 150000 votes.

"[...]offering the assistance of my website, my servers, my domain names and anything else[...]" So, why doesn't he offer a mirror? His site is not listed on http://wikileaks.ch/mirrors.html

Do you work for them?

The design of the website is visually quite appealing, but a total no-go in today's world is a business website totally based on Flash. I'm no flash-hater, but the webpage in question is excluding a lot of people by using flash-only.

I also made sure to navigate around the page, which proved particularly difficult because the navigational elements are very hard to find within the flowers (same color, same style). One should not try to find navigation elements, they should just be there and pop out.

I don't know if this qualifies as a HN question... ;-)

Could you provide some links where a book i ONLY available on Google Books? On the left side of the books you usually have all the sellers of the book "Get this book". Some old books which are out of copyright you can get via different sources (e.g. Project Gutenberg)

Was Paul trying to coin the word "tablet" for these kind of devices? I don't know how this is anything new, I have read of the iPad "tablet" or "tablet computer" many times.

I read this on my RSS reader and was shaken when opening the original page. Why would anyone do this?

I totally agree with you.

Whilst the basic notion that travel sites could do a better job at giving you suggestions based on your preferences - and temperature definitely being one factor - temperature is not everything.

The author did a nice job collecting all the temperature information, but for an end user the simple names of the destinations don't mean much (where exactly is "Metehara" without asking Google?). I wouldn't find myself just looking for a temperature and in accordance to that look for destinations. Much more important for a holiday is the price range, so if I'd use the Excel file to find my perfect destination I would still have to find all the prices associated with the destinations (e.g. traveling to Ethiopia / Metehara will be quite expensive).

All in all: Good start. Incorporate this data within a larger travel search engine and let the user have one more option to narrow down the search.
