I'm sure that a lot of people spend a lot of time reading through Stackoverflow's answers. Not sure you're taking the parent comment to heart when you classify that time as wasted. Stackoverflow might not be the optimal solut

Not a lot of documentation on the IBM page about what the characteristics mean or how they learn a mapping from text to these categories. Curious to know what the average hacker news scores look like? I'm imagining it is a pretty small

Pretty clear that mostly what SF cares about is the tax revenue. That is the only part that is centralized and Airbnb has to provide. Everything else is self reported by the hosts which means that maybe the city will lean on them if the nei

Are any of these anti-chaos tools open source or shared with the community? Would love to see more companies that I'm dependent on have this sort of testing and robustness...

Seems like a lot of great open source software projects are run almost completely with remote teams - linux, git, apache, R, python, etc. have a lot of "remote" developers. Why do so many companies discourage remote teams? Hard to

Up vote, this seems like a great idea to me. I'd love to see companies get beat up publicly when terms of service are obviously bad. Would also love to see some standardization of privacy/content/other sub polices. If we&#x27

It will be interesting to see how advertisers take advantage of this data without alienating people. A lot of people don't mind seeing a targeted ad on Facebook since they have a relationship with them but would be disturbed to see a v

I'd love to see a higher level language binding for FPGAs like CUDA for GPUs. I've seen real experts make data fly through an FPGA but it seemed like development was slow (no surprise given 8hrs just to compile) and getting the cl

Not a database but HDF5 ( http://www.hdfgroup.org ) is used for storing all sorts of scientific data, has been around for a while and is very stable. PyTables is built on top of it and there are lots of other languages that can ha

Lots of success stories there with a 10x of investment and many jobs and fortunes made. But also interesting to see just how hard it is to succeed big with 20 of 716 (2.8%) making it to $100M valuation so far even among this every elite set

I really hope they improve the app as well. Great articles in print but app was almost unusable last year when I tried to do a digital only subscription.

Hyped up headline about semantics of timing of goals. Sure your longer term goals are going to be depressing and overwhelming if you don't have smaller achievable chunks that you can do today. But far from getting rid of goals they&#x2

Agreed. It would be cool to an application that takes advantage of the fact that your watch is relatively publicly accessible. Ideas would include the silly "mood watch" that you can set to indicate to others if you're feelin

Part of the reason for the purchase of securities was to lower the interest rate on longer term securities like the 10 year treasury note. This lowered the rate a lot of consumer loans like mortgages, car loans, etc. with the hope of stimul

I like the idea of having more hackathon type engineer presentations that aren't as polished but this seems like a bad compromise trying to get engineering folks to be on message like marketing department. Either stick with the polishe

Jenkins is especially bad with the transparent logos overlapping the butler image. A lot of developer designed tools have a simplicity like Hacker News or infinite possible customizations like X windows. Jenkins has neither of these attribu

Lots of valuable one liners in there. I think being at google though he missed a few that are too obvious to mention there. #43 Start with something that works and then iterate often to improve. #44 If your project involves engineering then

I'm continually surprised at how short sighted people are when it comes to research and new fields. I'm sure these are the same people who couldn't imagine how a computer could possibly be useful for anything other than mainf

Nice to see how it all adds up over time, at least it isn't compounding like my mortgage interest. Couple UI notes, when I put in 7.2 the UI doesn't round the resulting 5.5999999999 to something reasonable so overflows text. Also it might b

Your microbiome is essentially another organ in your body. You have 10 times the number of bacteria cells as you do human cells (they are a lot smaller) and they weigh over 2 pounds. Problems with this microbiome have been associated with v

Don't start a company because you like coding, Aza Raskin summed it up nicely for designers but same hold trues for programmers ( http://www.azarask.in/blog/post/psychological-pitfalls-and-l... ) Working for a startup has been a good source

I definitely agree with michaelochurch to avoid being a PITA, being right that project will fail isn't productive professionally or personally. Being the person to tell a smoker that they are likely to get cancer isn't helpful to them or yo

According to current law they don't owe anything more [1]. That doesn't mean that other people have to like it, even monkeys get upset when they feel like things aren't fair [2] . I think it is an open question about how companies like goog

Agreed. Living in SF it isn't so much that people are mad about the buses but more that it appears that google doesn't help out the rest of the community. Across the street from the google bus stop Mission High still struggles to educate th

Great start on an important topic. Quick extra info - For drawing a trend line it is often useful to have the intercept as well. Using y=mx+b line notation the best fit intercept is: \hat{b} = \bar{y} - m * \bar{x} [1] Be great to see some
