easymovet··on Building Products at SoundCloud – Part I: Dealing with the Monolith
Great product with some impressive traffic numbers! Looks like a good candidate for flow based programming. side-note: I'd happily pay for streaming that had less compression applied.

blackout for sure, but 60 seconds of oxygen starvation shouldn't kill you right? 10g's might snap you neck though.
easymovet··on Near-Eye Light Field Displays
I might actually be interested in 3d if this comes about, I get such a headache from fighting the accommodation reflex when things on the screen i'm focused on appear to be closer to my face
easymovet··on Vote on NASA's Z-2 Suit Design
Space has extremely high contrast light conditions due to the lack of reflective materials in a vacuum, shadows have zero visible detail. To counter act that effect you'd want an all white suit to help diffuse as much reflected light as possible.
easymovet··on Electric cars can go only half as far in freezing weather, AAA finds
I wonder if the tested models had systems that warm up the batteries.
easymovet··on Elon Musk: To the People of New Jersey
That's a good idea. I've written a few letters before, but never felt like I had the skill set to argue about these points on the phone, I'm also an introvert so cold calling is not something that I choose to do very often.
easymovet··on Elon Musk: To the People of New Jersey
Lets keep the discussion positive. Understand I'm not a political science major or a fancy debater, I don't claim to poses more than average intellegence, I'm just asking a question, hoping someone with more knowledge on the matter has an answer. After working to provide for the family I don't have a lot of free time to commit to politics if that's what you mean by 'participate more actively', is that the only course of action?
easymovet··on Elon Musk: To the People of New Jersey
Very saddened by the blatant corruption in our government. Where do I vote for a new government based on ethics and accountability (apart from New Zealand).

easymovet··on Dell introduces 28" 4K Ultra HD Monitor for under $1K, shipping early 2014
the resolution is almost 1:1 comparable. Obviously the I sit much closer to a laptop than i do my 57" HDPC

I'm underwhelmed, the Lenovo yoga 2 has almost as many pixels and cost less.
easymovet··on Ask HN: I'm 26 and would like to make 100k/yearly before I'm 30. How do I do it?
It's a free market, always be interviewing so that you have offers to leverage your current employer. The cost of talent acquisition is high enough that it's always worth it to bump your salary than loose you to another company.
easymovet··on Want to help the poor and transform your economy? Give people cash.
That sounds very reasonable but it actually isn't true see this MIT study: http://www.irle.berkeley.edu/workingpapers/157-07.pdf
easymovet··on Natural Gas: Fuel for the future?
One of the benefits of a pressurized fuel source is that you don't vent the petrol saturated air in your tank to the atmosphere every time you fill it up. About 4million cubic yards daily.
easymovet··on Natural Gas: Fuel for the future?
Depends on the type of car (hackable computer, fuel injection) and weather you go for a complete conversion or run both petrol and cng (extra fuel rail or reuse old one).

If you have a Honda you can easily reprogram the ECU to compensate for running a different type of fuel (you would simple need to replace the fuel system, which means just a high pressure tank and a regulator) I could see this working for ~$1500.

On other cars you might need a piggyback computer. (source: I converted my car to ethanol which has a few similarities)

easymovet··on Want to help the poor and transform your economy? Give people cash.
Agreed, in those places you need to have a min wage that's higher than the poverty level and higher than any wellfare traps.

We are so hung up on the idea that "you can teach a man to fish and that will feed him for a lifetime" in reality if you give a man a boat and fishing gear he will figure out how to fish on his own. The US doesn't have the same credit issues as uganda but we instead have the wellfare trap which could be easily solved by raising the minimum wage to above poverty level, heck raising the minimum wage to $30/hr would solve a lot of our economic problems.
easymovet··on Flickr gets new UI, new Android app, 1 TB free space
enough for a lifetime...as long as it's up.
easymovet··on Sailfish – An open source mobile OS
How do I put it on my phone?
easymovet··on I’m done with the web
I see a lot of negative comments, many of them are from people far smarter than me and may be right, don't let them get to you. Their opinions are exactly that, opinions. You worked hard on something and it didn't work out the way you wanted it to, you have a right to be disgruntled. Congrats on the new Google gig!

Silicon isn't technically a metal anyways ;) A metalloid at best. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalloid

easymovet··on New engine prototype could potentially decrease auto emissions up to 90 percent
It's basically a low RPM centrifugal turbine engine. which is actually perfect for recharging batteries since it's not as dangerous to have in the car a as an axially vented turbine, which runs at much higher RPM and temperature.
easymovet··on Astrobiologists Find Ancient Fossils in Meteorite Fragments
Their city is built on a rift in the time space continuom. The energy it gives off can be harnessed to recharge the TARDIS.

Couldn't agree more, I used ASP.NET MVC on that website to test-drive the framework. For most projects we use http://www.servicestack.net/ or my own framework http://code.google.com/p/sharpfusion/
easymovet··on Your Minimum Viable Product is Processing Credit Cards
This post pushed me to try some of the new processing tools out there. I setup Amazon simple pay with an IPN handler in about 20min. I didn't have an idea for a site so it's just a novelty site :) http://valuedchange.com/ I chose amazon over stripe since the micropayment cost is less on amazon (5% + 5c vs 2.9%+30c )
