That's amazing! And is all the imagery in public domain? Edit: I see 'bing', so maybe not. Also, if anyone related to the project is looking, the elevation model is extremely noisy and likely broken, so wrapping the imagery a

unfortunate because even if one couldn't get into a high paying job, one could try getting into an interesting one. Since they're the same, it's both or nothing. Thus it's fortunate for those that get those, but unfortun

It was supposed to be sarcastic. Didn't get the tone right.

>>At my old place in Somerville, MA (not exactly a cheap place to live), $100 would be four large hampers full of laundry and my shirts would be pressed. Was the before, or after the 10% Tufts discount though? If you're below 35,

Disclaimer: I understand the parent and I are hijacking the thread, but...whatevs. This. x1000. I wish there were more places I could put my four goddamn years of CS knowledge to use. I joke with business people in our team how they could s

For those who may not be aware -- As always in these situations: Scott Aronson said it first! For reference, here's the highly amusing and interesting paper he's written on this: "NP-complete Problems and Physical Reality&quo

For the second part, I'd add: people from your country. If there's a gathering of less than 20 people from my country, I love everyone. 20-50 and I start hyperventilating. More than 50, and I make and execute elaborate plans to ge

You seem wise...I'll ask for advice! How do I, as a 27 year-old Grad student invite women for coffee without them feeling it might be a 'trick-date', or having them not get comfortable? Really, I want it to be a date _less_ t

Interesting... Can this 'hack' be used to convince people that, say, they're in a different/secure website when they're in a malicious website? I ask because since the 'fake' cursor is visible even on the

Finally! In HN I have finally truly found the loving, caring crowd that really cares about ethics in game journalism above everything else! Keep up the good work folks!

There's this AMAZING scifi story, which I read in 'Writers of The Future' (great series, named after the eminent L Ron. H.). It imagines a future where after a certain age, everyone has a chip planted in them, which makes it

Haha, really! Maybe I'm less-experienced (1.5 yrs), but it would have taken me significantly more than the 15 mins(was it?) that it took them to diagnose the problem. Props to the team, and Thank All 0.33G Gods I was not on call!

Seriously! I wish I'd rather done an analysis of countries' shapes, and a measure of their rectagularity, viewed by hundreds of thousands/millions of people online than made this comment, where all I do is agree with you agai

Finally, a topic I can consider myself some kind of expert in! For the record, here are my credentials: I've tinder-valeted multiple guy friends, selecting women and conversing with them and warming things up for them. My friends happe

HA! Just yesterday a friend wanted to bet that they'd be soon acquired by GOOG/MSFT! For any services/products outside Google, Cloud9 is truly the only service I have been really excited about. So much so that I've repli

This issue seems OK-ish important, but beware the incoming "but it's about ethics in game journalism" brigade!

Having read all the comments below, it appears to me that people most fervently pro-bitcoin are the kind of people who convince people towards the other directions with their arguments. Whatever merits cryptocurrency might have, "we ne

I found this one incredibly interesting, but for mostly tangential reason: relationships. I have mostly concentrated on trying to find reasonably likeable, kind, successful, and attractive partners. But because of that I have had a lot less

I'd love to see someone suggesting suing Breitbart/Fox out of existence. I mean... they're just as 'newsful' as gawker was...

This is a really good idea: for workshops. I don't know about day-to-day or in a classroom setting though. Whenever I did pair programming in college, one of the partners would often be overpowering in terms of skills and intelligence,

I think you're missing what's happening here. This is a place full of exactly the people being satire: the self-awareness-lacking privileged people, as you say. They're being defensive of their choices, and arguing that they&

This will be off topic, but I'd like to hear others' thoughts on the issue. I really really dislike, the taxi industry. I have ridden a cab at 2am, and paid 4x what I regularly do, in cash, because 'the machine is broken&
