Reads a bit like an ad for some popular products. Most equipment junkies agree that SelectTech dumbbells are the worst choice. Cheap spinlocks are better because they're sturdier, can take some abuse. Regular handles are 14" and you can get

The save symbol doesn't need to become universally known like radiation and biohazard. The concept won't need to be known in another decade.

You can get a weight set, bench and power rack. If you can't fit a rack, a lot can be done with a weight set, but certain moves aren't perfectly safe. With just a weight set you can learn to power clean, do front squats with decent weight,

What if he broke more than his ankle? Obviously he was mentally and physically prepared for the course. But a course is predictable. Startup economics are more like combat, you can be the best soldier but an IED finds you.

I played Ultratron too and it is a decent game but not very interesting. Revenge of the Titans on the other hand is an excellent, exciting game and I'm surprised it's not more successful. It is worth adding more upgrades, mods and marketing

Cargocollective has the same drag and drop bookmarking UI. Shows up whenever you drag anything on their network. Indeed it is the right UI for that particular task. But it's also easy enough for other services to copy.

Indeed I remember doing MongoDB and Redis online tutorials and typing everything out myself and they felt great. This tutorial was too annoying to finish. Took a big break from coding, thought maybe it's because I'm rusty. Apparently not! S

This promo video http://youtu.be/j-XTpdDDXiU looks and sounds like Apple's, apart from white backgrounds. Speech writing is the same, uses the same words like delightful, great, blah blah. Weird.

Chrome 24.0.1312.57 on OSX 10.6.8 MBP i5. I've had crashes and blank screens running some ROME demos in Chrome here. Pretty sure it's the fancy shader use.

On MBP i5 works in Firefox but shows white screen with no console errors in Chrome.

Yea experience of wasting your life in rabbit holes, combined with getting older while getting little accomplished may help you focus. Unless you really find something in the rabbit holes, then down you go. If you never find anything and st

It is hard to learn. But once you learn it, not that hard to do CRUD day to day. When you have to learn some new framework/library it gets harder again.

In Medieval Europe there was less surplus, a crappier economy, a population closer to the edge. Rome linked prosperous lands in Italy, Egypt, Gaul, North Africa into one empire. Romans overfarmed Italy at their peak and depended on Egypt fo

You mean Decisive Battles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMZHovydSFQ ? I think he's talking about charts, d3.js. The show is made with a real time video game from 2002/4.

Hard to search for snow fall visualization. Do you have a link? Also these battles were visualized a million times by the Total War series. Although far from realistically with questionable educational potential. But that's largely a limita

That's a reasonable army for the time period. I don't know how historians make their estimates but often these are just estimates. Many armies in the time period have 30-50-80K men. In Medieval times getting an army of 20K was a huge deal,

And if these patterns hold how can any social media service be the next big anything? People just want a consistent interface to communicate. There's no UX reason to separate email, facebook, instachat twumblr or whatever from each other. Y

Yes but who will find Odesk? How will you tell it apart from a bunch of competitors and ZenDesk? You're limiting Odesk's fancy functionality to the small subset of experienced computer users. Even if you only use 3 subsections of craig that

But this multitude of narrow solutions creates a marketing and usability nightmare for users. What's the hip place to rent rooms now? And how do I use it, because it has no UI consistency with services for renting cars and objects. So even

They're practicing for thin iPhones? It is pretty weird. They could probably release something thicker than the old model and market that just as well.

What are those sites repeatedly appearing on HN if not content farms? What do you want to call them? They game news aggregation sites and search engines. They push out so much content many users think farm content is normal and upvote it.

Well it's hard to say how close the relationship is. Google changed algorithm to target content farms a while ago, caused a stir. They definitely see the problem. The current ad/SEO setup incentives all sites to behave like content farms, d

Why would banning content farms draw the eye of regulators when the content farms are gaming the search engines? Because search engines fell asleep at the wheel and now content farms are a sizable chunk of the economy? And they can always r
