There is a related post from David Lowery (2013), sorry if someone already mentionned this (link is from his own blog):

His songs seem to have a little bit more exposure than in the discussed article.

I tend to agree when it comes to headphones. I'd go with sennheiser over any other brand anytime. But the bose soundlink mini (bluetooth speaker, they are quite fashionable these days) has an incredible sound and a similar price tag as the vastly inferior beats pill.

I thought of a similar but somewhat different system where cooperative users of a paying system would point free parking spot when passing by or leaving the spot. This would not ensure the spot to be free upon arrival of a user but it would give an edge and prevent the hassle of dealing with someone who (reasonably) wants the spot you supposedly paid for.

I thought of this while struggling to find a parking spot in Paris. Traffic jams and parking spot searches are great moments to have ideas.

You are right. I've been working in this domain for 15 years. Technologies such as GPS, auto guidance, remote sensing, were common in agriculture back then. Some farmers are hackers too. I saw some pretty amazing Excel (!) spreadsheets modeling crop growth or disease damage.

There is something true when he says that farms are inefficient factories. They sometimes fail to give a proper income to the famer, considering the work they put in. But for me the solution is not overspecialized industrialized farms growing one crop for the rest of the world. It would be better to have highly versatile farms dedicated to fulfill the needs of specific areas to minimize transportation impact. I've never seen any environnemental protection concern related to the soylent production. It's all about saving time while eating healthy.

I saw a documentary about chinese farmers growing tomatoes. They could not imagine eating what they were growing. Pretty sad for a farmer.

Maybe when your position largely depends on the public opinion and will be taken from you before you have a chance to have a trial. Maybe there is no pattern but elected officials, rock stars, often cry out their innocence when being accused of something, while having great lawyers.

Depends on the size of their dream and of the size of their trucks.

Those are great services. Pro tip if you have a garder, order your compost bags there, they are dirt cheap & they put them in your trunk, no more hassle.

I like it a lot, my use of wikipedia often leads to a bunch of opened tabs and a lack of focus on what I was looking for in the first place (which might also be a great thing depending on your mood).

Very nice product. I have an (fairly) old compaq laptop with a built in adapter and even though its heavier than it should be, pluging the cable is a delight.

I use the HN facebook feed (yes I do) and there is no direct link on it, just the video (maybe specific to KS?). Also the music in the video is distracting. It is way overcompressed.

Well it's a start to know this board member stance on this issue and acting accordingly (i.e unsuscribing or dismissing depending on the importance one give to the issue).

It's more about watermarks than hashes, maybe the author mentions hashes to make it more simple to understand. Modern watermarks can survive most treatments. Even a screener can still be detected.

I agree. And I don't think the small margins really is a problem if you come out with a "disrupting" printer. I don't think the portable music players margins were that high when they released the ipod.

Then again, I don't know what a disrupting printer would look like. Printers always appeared to me as awkward computer/realworld interfaces.

This (nice) feature should be more heavilly advertised on the website. Would the app also allow to schedule power off / on?

Two things from the website : >We created Trontium to drive humanity forward Ok I cant discuss the reasons why you created trontium and driving humanity forward is indeed a great goal but wow this is just a (rather cool) battery.

Plus I think the keyboard (a yamaha psr E403 I think) featured in the pictures is not usb powered.

Other than that I'm impressed by the 8 charges you can make with the dewalt drill. Great to build something far from power outlets.

Great idea, dissapointing proof of concept. There are many things to do to work out a bargaining algorithm.

What is the price of a similar item in other online stores? What does the potential customer finds appealing in the deal? Is it the first time the user tries to bargain for the same or similar item? Are there other items of interest (that the user browsed) we could throw in the bargain to make the user buy at the listed price? Or redirecting the user to a feature enhanced item for the same price.

Offering a lower price as soon as the user starts bargaining might also make him think that listed prices are not real prices.

Problem solved either ways!

Awesome. Even more awesome : integration with trello. But I'll definitely use it. Is storage size a concern? I understand that the pictures are actually stored in Dragdis.

Metrix multimeter usually are blue. I can think of at least another quality multimeter brand that use the yellow/dark grey. What if red was not even an option to make cheap multimeter and if all the colors were covered by patents?

So true. On one side you have tech blogs & hackers launching successful (or not) start ups. But one should not forget that on the other side you still have many people in big companies dealing with pre 90' databases or applications, interacting with their unhelpful computer guy, struggling with ie6 or ie7. You can bring some joy to them one application at a time.

This brings back memories. Soulseek was(is) super efficient. I remember directly browsing users HDs and sending message to them to congratulate them on their taste. I'd definitely try it out again.

If you hijack a plane odds are high that you screw up everything and crash.

So high frequency trading somewhat helps reducing the spread which is a good thing. I can understand that. But if HFT is a fix, instead of taxing HFT why not making it a task banks would deal with and earn money from it? A percentage of the revenue enabled by HFT would go to the bank and the rest to society.

I'll stand in line for a TL;DR of the methodology. Another thing bothering me is that corruption perception is somewhat relative. In some countries it is normal behaviour to bribe police agents or administration employees. It comes with the job, as a perk and is hardly considered as corruption. This is less likely to change the ranks of the countries, rather the dynamic of the perceived corruption levels.

>If she didn't want to be associated with the film, she didn't have to act in it.

>you should expect no control over the final product

So be sure to watch the final product before acting in a movie.

This might even add an extra value if you somehow link the painting to the artist. But I think it's the idea behind the marketplace.

If you have nothing to hide it's fine. Well it's not. Stalkers and bullies love to find informations wether it's shameful or not. It makes their task easier.

He'd be somewhat protected, but most certainely under heavy surveillance and most probably on a no fly list because of his friendship with Iran.

I do think that the appearance of this new media matters. If not, why using a template at all? Or even pictures? Only the words matters, thats why the presentation should not be distracting and using a random template is.

I learned this while playing Ultima 7, serpent isle. I literally learned english as a teenager while playing that game. Thanks Origin for that.

Isn't the bad hire/good hire feeling that is described here much to personal? If the so called bad hire somehow senses the hostility, no wonder why he leaves the company.

If you inadvertently cross a few red lines as a new hire you can ring a few alarms in your hirer's mind. If those red lines are in the company culture that's fine, you might be a bad hire (or the company culture might suck, which should have the same consequences). But sometimes those red lines are totally hirer specific.
