I've had great luck with graduate students (and sometimes even ungrads): I'll find a grad student who knows the topic, often by searching for lesser known content creators on youtube/blogs, and reach out with an offer to pay

Do these come with stock android, and are they updatable? Or, can you install some other distro on it (eg. cyanogenmod)?

Great stuff. I know very little about music, but found it very helpful to visually decipher and decompose the sounds. Would it be possible to isolate each instrument? Turn each one on/off?

On the Python side there's Lamson and Google App Engine also has nice email handling capabilities allowing you to parse and access from your own code / app. http://lamsonproject.org/ https://developers.

I had the exact opposite reaction - allowing me to play songs for free let me experience the service, so by the time they asked me to sign up I was happy to.

Great to see real world use cases, and very encouraging to see PyPy performing so well. I'll definitely be trying it on my future compute-intensive projects.

For what it's worth I'm a brown man with the occasional beard and I've never felt singled out or degraded when flying. I've been selected for pat downs and further screening surprisingly infrequently, and the TSA have been nothing but profe

Unfortunately getting a "job" will be difficult with a prison record, but consulting could be a good path. If you can find someone to sub-contract jobs to him he can get started (he might have to take a low rate to start with), and once he

Same: producing when standing, consuming when sitting. I'm actually more productive, and if feels great. I'm also much more mobile when standing - I'll walk around if I'm thinking. I am more physically tired at the end of the day, but in a

Let me add to his anecdotal evidence - of the angels I personally know (~15), the vast majority are price sensitive. If I expand that to angels I know slightly, the percentage of price sensitivity increases. You can argue that they're irrat

Opened a few tabs with HN items in it. Booked my trip to SF, then started browsing the tabs. Hit this tab, tried it, found a flight for about $80 less than I just booked. Lesson learned: always read HN before doing actual work.

I'm looking for a middle ground - SQL/structured data extensible with non-structured data. The ability to extend sql tables with unspecified json-like data. The love child of mysql/postgres with Mongodb. Any such thing exist?

A few months ago I was about to get rid of my quite old Galaxy Vibrant, so with nothing to lose I installed CyanogenMod on it. It's worked so well I'm keeping it as my main phone for now - it's clean, stable, and looks much nicer than the S

I've been impressed by Andreedsen Horowitz's approach of recognizing winners in large markets and putting large amounts of money to work. It's gutsy and smart. However, I'm concerned about putting large amounts of money into startups that h

Really depends on the VC - some of them are very courteous, others downright psychopathic - but radio silence is not unusual. As much practice as most VCs have had saying no it can still be hard, particularly after lengthy discussions, so s

Love the codecasts (the iPhone one was very informative), but each time I go to cssdeck I struggle to find the play button. This time it was hidden under one of the code panels and I only found it after accidentally dismissing the code pane

I went to public school in Iran until the age of 12, private school in the UK from 12 to 15, and spent my final year in public school in the US. Observations: Math: what I was learning as a junior or senior in the UK/US was what I'd already
