   There's just something enticing about watching home-cooking. It's better than any TV you've ever seen. If your subject is a better cook than you or has a much larger range of recipe comfort, watching their technique or proces

   IIRC, some jets/planes were being repaired by mechanics equipped with Google Glass. It would help out by bringing up schematics while the technicians were doing their thing on the plane. But it was a very fluffy article that seemed mor

   Good riddance. The last time I watched TV with ads was for the superbowl, and even those nicely produced ads I found absolutely grating. There's no way I can go back to ads between tense moments in TV shows. It's like seeing the i

   I bought a cheap shower mirror in target and it's been a life saver. Definitely worth the ~10-15 bucks.

    Exactly same case here - we're using Athena (packaged presto from AWS) and have a Postgres instance w/ identical data in a different data model. Presto is mindblowingly good at the low latency queries and scales well to anything n

    For what its worth, SFO does not use the TSA [0]. The posted article does not mention the TSA at all, only Border Patrol and Customs agents. I've had terrible TSA experiences at other airports, but never a problem with the security at

    I would absolutely pay for this. If i could walk through verbally how everything works on a large system I'm working on with a company, and then magically get some confluence docs, diagrams, autodocs, readmes, guides, this would be inc

    Being charitable here, it may be that this exploit showed a breakage in their internal API security process, or an edge case previously unhandled. Perhaps FB had to run an internal audit to find any other endpoints effected by this bug. Bu

    Then again, ELB was amazing a few years back when the tooling for dealing with AWS/GCP/Azure was not as mature. ELB wrapped a huge percentage of the use cases (webapps) in one or two configs. Sure, now there's a ton of better

    This is very cool, shared with my team. I am worried about bias in the results questionnaire - both biased against and biased towards the candidate. How do you plan to avoid extremely damaging and false information from getting in? One bad

    We use Athena for all our robotics data, which we ETL into JSON. It's fantastic for queries that are simple time-slice queries, as most are because sensor data is inherently time-series. When more complicated joins are necessary, the p

    Can you email me at daniel@starskyrobotics.com? I'm sorry to hear you had a bad experience - that does not match how we aim to recruit and no one should get lost in our process. I personally hate companies ghosting people - we don&#x27

    On behalf of YC or Starsky? For YC, it was pretty damn slick, but made possible only because a close-knit bond between companies exists to an extent. I remember being super interested in self driving cars, really wanting to work at Cruise a

    I interned at a YC company as my first internship (LeadGenius, YCS11) before they had this organized a program. I had no idea what YC was before I applied, and learned about YC and HN later. The YC dinner was great, ended up making some con
