For context, Both Max and Marcus were studying at the Royal College of Art in London at the time. Not sure about the stool, but the Solar Sinter was Marcus' graduation project, and it was quite a hit when it went public.
Are you using ffmpeg? Gstreamer? We are working on a project to put nocturnal streaming robots in a museum in London and we've been trying out various toolchains to get low-latency live streams to clients, each with lots of pros and cons. Would be good to talk if you could. Ping us on twitter @theworkers
Considering the incredible effectiveness of the current low-res dev kit, give it 3 years or so and the Rift will be second nature to most: 2 or 4k display, wireless, better optics, lighter, even lower latency, etc. If I had the money to invest I'd do it in a whim.
Carried away. Both made a mistake. Both were pissed. He thought he was scoring, she thought she had to do it to fit in. This is far from being an assault, rather a gross misunderstanding. He lost the job, she feels like he needs to be punished further.
If anyone boy or girl, man or woman had to claim assault anytime someone tries the big step on the other, we'd all be in jail. Did she push him away? No, she "didn't reciprocate". He likely didn't even notice in the drunken excitement and there you go. They both fucked up, but one of the two feel more wronged. Also all the framing in the macho software industry doesn't help, including the employee/employer relation.
Peace. And love. Could it be that simple?
I wish I were wealthy enough to buy you a return ticket to Rome Ciampino airport, or Pisa for that matter and let you experience some of the easiest airports I've ever been to. Not like taking the train, but close…
Anywhere else I've been including UK, US, Ukraine Odessa, etc, there's intimidation in the air, ready to hit. And that's really unpleasant.
Why is it not packaged within the Lighttable.app anymore? Unzipping it's a folder with a .app inside and all the NW resources next to it instead of inside. Confused…
Unlikely and perhaps wrong under most perspectives, but as soon as I read Greenwald's account I thought "shit, he's caught the bait". The government and those detaining his man were wholly aware of what a shitstorm this would have caused. I would have LOVED to see the alternative scenario, where Greenwald tells Miranda "Don't tell anyone else.". The police wouldn't and couldn't speak publicly, no-one gets to know about the event, the political game of those who had this brilliant idea is now in pieces.
The gov's option at that point would have been to further escalate their offensive, exposing themselves even more. Instead what we got now is a lawful, yet badly-intentioned use of the law, which is grave, but likely insufficient to warrant & spark any significant tectonic movements.
No one in here has ever even thought of reading the plain text password(s?) of their gf, friend, nemesis or what, when they left their computer on and left the room.
Yet that may be a good use case for a master password…
There really is no reason for Apple to allow reviews from beta versions of their OS. It doesn't bring the developers any useful insight, it's a time-waster at best and a commercial nightmare at worst. I too am left wondering why this is possible in the first place… especially since I assume Apple is fully aware of the "grey" iOS beta market.
If anyone finds the UK in the non-sorted list of country names in Dutch with double-escaped unicode characters, could you please let me know the first two letters so that I can type it in?
The Supporto chair, while more expensive than others is incredibly comfortable and & good looking.
I have both an Aeron and a Supporto. The difference between the two is like Photoshop vs Acorn on Mac. With the Aeron it sometimes feels like the designer chose not to choose… which I disagree with!
I am since a while omitting dears and wishes and being very terse in my replies. Most people seem to get the message, relax and simply reply to me with similar tone, making the whole exchange much more pleasant and less prone to misinterpretation.
Perhaps instead of adding an acronym out of the blue — that very much no-one outside HN will ever bother figuring out — we could train ourselves and our correspondants to understand that there is no need for excessive form under the majority of circumstances. The medium is very flexible, but our attitude is stuck. And maybe the reason for the stuckedness is that email, unlike less pervasive media, is used by people of every age, every degree of computer literacy, every background, etc. There: one more reason why VSRE or any variation is unlikely to make it further than a couple of days from today.
So, they asked us to change the password for reasons they cannot yet tell. The fact that they cannot lay it all out for our curiosity is driving most of people here off the rails. I don't have any problem with letting them verify & deal with the issue properly before releasing any public statement. Anyone who's ever been with them has never received less than perfect customer service. Can we give them a break, wait and hold our judging wands for a moment? It's not like they are staying mum out of spite towards their customers and the press…
Not sure I understand why this was even created in the first place. Wouldn't it suffice to simply spell out the content of the QR next to it, on hover or else? It's not like QR codes are born out of thin air; if you place a QR on your site then it's unlikely you don't know what data it represents.
If you are talking about this: http://www.apple.com/iphone/#video (05'40") then I understand they are picking the best plastic inlays to fit one particular chassis (as the video also shows). But that is unrelated to the outer edge CNC milling.
What I believe has happened there is that the CNC tool adjusts its path to compensate for mounting misalignments by using a feeler. If the feeler is worn out or there's any other issue then the tool may re-adjust wrongly. I'm speculating, but I'm starting to believe it's not a design change; just a little f-up.
Not sure. But I am getting curious about why. It's a hell of a tooling tolerance or it's a Jony Ive last-minute caprice? Considering the overall packaging accuracy I'd be inclined to file it as the latter.
