I think the point many people are missing is that this is a "new" development. All the talk about paper composition / features could overlap with other banned material cannot be new.

but it would show up as masked or dark or low energy, then they can mark as "needs manual search". That does not require forcing "all" papers out of all bags.

VR Game Developer | Autism Therapy | Washington DC based startup.

Floreo (http://floreotech.com) is an early-stage startup in Washington DC developing a first of its kind virtual reality platform to deliver children’s therapy. Our first product is focused on VR-based autism therapy. We are a multidisciplinary team of developers, doctors, designers, therapists, parents, and artists and we are working in the uncharted territory of VR for delivery of therapist mediated therapeutic experiences. This is a unique opportunity to build a highly challenging technically grounded product that has the potential of helping families in immeasurable ways. We are looking for a second developer to join our team with the following qualities: Game development experience using a commercial game engine such as Unity or Unreal is required Experience in all aspects of developing a game, from design to fine tuning multiplayer network latencies are highly desirable Experience specifically with VR is a plus Startup experience is highly desired as we are a small team used to wearing lots of hats Our stack currently includes, Unity (using CSharp), to implement the VR / in game experience. We are using “Google VR for Unity” AKA daydream/cardboard to build for iOS and Android. We are using in house developed 3D and audio assets. We run our own backend and API, written in Go on AWS.

I've been using Monoid for a long while now and am surprised not many people have heard of it or are using it. Monoid is very similar to Iosevka . Similarly you need time to get used to it, but when you do don't want to go back. I have not used Iosevka, has anyone used both Iosevka and Monoid and can compare them?

Only if inbox let you not load images automatically. The same way Gmail behaves, you choose if you want to see the images.

This looks to me as if Uber wants to say we are so sensitive to be fair and honest that even for such a minor thing CEO publicly apologizes. Imagine what we do with real problems like sexual harassment in the office.

Can you elaborate on what you have that Travis does not?

Willpower is a finite resource, I'd rather use it as little as possible and keep it for more important matters.

So ideally, in cases that you know before hand that you are going to need your willpower, like reading HN, you'd be better off arranging your life so that you don't have the option to spend as much time, and reserve your willpower for cases you cannot predict or control.

Now that we are at it, if you have experience / recommendations on developing for multiple mobile platforms please share it here.

As far as I understand it, if you are big and have the resources, your best bet is still to develop separate native apps for each platform.

Right?

Speaking of chess, I strongly recommend this youtube channel:

https://www.youtube.com/user/MatoJelic

I have no affiliation with him, but he is a brilliant trainer and he is a very lovely game narrator. I feel it is appropriate to talk about this channel, because I have not played serious chess in decades but just watching this guy go through these famous games, gave me such insight that reading this article (the on from OP) sounded rather naive.

You must need a very high res camera. Very very high res indeed.

How does it work?

I mean is it a new discovery that some frequencies create resonance and stop the convection and prevent oxygenation of the flame?

Or is it just using sheer power to "blow" the flame off? but instead of a blower, it just uses very high powered speaker in low frequency?

To my limited knowledge most (maybe all) of the software in Tesla model S can be updated over the air, using cars cellular internet connection.

Some technical detail would be much appreciated, like the language you are using on the server side, any dependencies? Road map for when you are open sourcing it (I assume you will do)...

Another things that is interesting, is the diversity of responses on this thread.

One saying "I've been here for long, I cannot remember of anybody" another one saying, "of course I know plenty of people who made a lot of money".

I think it means, as all other aspects of life, there are distinct clusters of people in this field, with little cross cluster exchange. Either you are in that group in which all of you make money or you are in the group that you and your friends none make much money.

This is a very good question. I also want to know if there are examples other than major successes like Google and Facebook.

One issue is when you want to hire people and you want to feel confident that you are offering them a "real chance" for financial success, even if it is a slim chance. I mean if you know that it is very likely that even when "you" have a win (whatever your goal is) and your investors have a win, still your employees don't benefit significantly, that will be a sad story.

If you can provide more details on the kind of EC2 instances you were using and the kind of issues that you consider issues that would be great.

In my limited experience, I've rarely faced any significant issues with EC2. I assume your threshold for issues must have been very lower than mine.

At the top I would put the "Must see, Must eat, ...".

I read the copy, watched the video and until I scrolled down, I didn't get what it was all about, and why "must".

I didn't grow up here in the US. And I don't have a kid yet. But I find it very odd that people cannot let their kids to walk into a store to buy something or walk and play around the neighborhood.

I think using little snitch or similar would be the better way to go. Since I imagine not every url is hard coded as plain text and there are updates all the time, and changes and caches ....

But I definitely agree, OS X phones home (and other places) all the time. Everytime my phone rings my mac tries to connect to some apple server. ...

Reminded me of Cryptonomicon.

Although I don't know which character will be Paul Allen.

Definitely not Douglas Shafto.

I think you meant 8.8.4.4

Do you mean "red light camera" or "license plate scanner" (scanning everybodies license plate)? I don't see why a red light camera is something to protest about.

looks very handy. How complex can queries be?

Anybody knows what this 10% mean? I mean :

a) only 10% of the fleet are running a version of the hypervisor that is affected by the bug

b) based on the turnover rate, they expect 10% to need rebooting under the customers by the date the bugs are being released.

c) 10% are running a combination of the affected hypervisor and vm's that are reasonably at risk of exploitation, other's may have the faulty hypervisor but either are being used as single tenant (there is no risk of someone breaking out and affecting someone else) or are running vm's that may not be able to break out depending on the nature of bugs.

Just speculating, any ideas?

I think I understand that people want to have the option to switch, but I never, myself, had any reason to do so. I mean the differences between the services different providers provide is not that much (for me) to justify the switch. Maybe that is because I am on a grandfathered unlimited plan. Over the years I have periodically (with every new iphone), reviewed other options and never found the switch compelling. Anybody knows any reason other than "just having the option" ?

I am trying to understand why putting large binaries under source control is a good idea in the first place. Unless you have a way to make sense of the diffs this will not help right? and to to make sense of the diffs, you need to understand the structure/format of the binary at least after you have the diff, or maybe even to make a useful diff, right?

I am not expert in this area, but I watched their presentation in NYC (or was it Columbia U) about a year ago. The way he avoided answering any technical questions made me think these guys are either full of shit, or they have such a great technology that don't need to convince anybody with their world, people will see it in action and believe them. I am now inclined to believe it is not magic. But time will tell.

It used to be bad, but at least on iOS they are reasonably good now, I've never felt this way. and I am not very easy to please. Which app are you talking about?
