The practical of evil of working for a surveillance company like Google outweighs the hypothetical evil of working for a think tank like the Heritage foundation.

Love it love it love it. Can it work with existing public webcams? I'd love to track the comings and goings of every politician in Washington.

Even if it doesn't end up in the ocean, there's less street and countryside litter. I noticed a change in the local environment when they banned plastic bags in my town, I'm in favor of this change as well. Single-use plastic

I'd like to think that, but I don't. I haven't seen any evidence for any meaningful resistance. I think it's very possible that the internet will just continue to get worse and worse and worse. It's already worse th

There was a scene of very well-meaning academics and young people in Cambridge around the Free Software/Free Culture movement and the Berkman Center in the early/mid/late 00's. There was a lot of idealism and a belief th

This is great, I've got a bunch of hacky tools that do something similar-ish, but not as polished as this! Good work Feature request: export to MIDI.

Not eventually - now. This is putting everybody in danger, not just the owners of the cars.

This is such a shockingly naive worldview, but I see it almost every day. Solving needs and reaping rewards have become disconnected - this is the exact problem we're discussing here. In fact, solutions and rewards have become opposite

Is anybody from Prometheus here? Very curious about the tech and the unit economics. Is $3 a goal, or the price today?

I am saying "fuck this" to the culture that pressures everybody to be productive in the early morning and casts judgement on those who have trouble being productive in those hours. No offense was meant to the author, I'm alwa

Sounds perfect. Can I ask what you do?

Even better if it's possible. But in business, you really do end up needing to interface with people in normal 9-5 companies fairly often, so at least with 2-10 there's some overlap in the afternoon. Do external stuff in the after

That book actually put me on the track to taking this idea seriously. I'm absolutely a natural night owl and I felt like my whole life I've been considered lazy by other people because I'm not bright eyed and bushy tailed in

Haha, of course. "We're awake at night" would not be the point of the company, just an aspect of the culture. It'd probably have to be adjacent to other "night" industries though, or something with a good toler

Fuck this. I'm a night time person and I feel like I'm constantly punished by a society that places a moral value on waking up early. In all seriousness, I'm thinking about starting a "night company" for night time

Does anybody know why so much mammoth research comes out of Korea and Japan?

I don't feel this way at all. The more we learn, the more it seems like Boeing misrepresented the extent of the changes they made inbetween the 737 and 737MAX8/9 models in order to avoid recertification, then undereducated the pil

This comment is going to be the "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." of 2029. EDIT: Just to hedge my bets, maybe _this_ comment will be the "No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame." of 2029.

Is there something about the mystical nature of AGI that attracts sketchiness and flim-flammery? I remember the "Singularity Institute for Artificial General Intelligence" trying to pull similar scams a decade ago.

The blog post says that some of these features now appear in ESS (AWS hosted ES), and that the rest will arrive soon. Did AWS do the same thing with Mongo?

This is an interesting new "threat" to the "open core" business model. ES makes proprietary extensions to support their FOSS core product - then a tech behemoth clones these features for their own hosted service, but mak

I feel like a lot of the comments here are missing the point because this isn't a magic noise-cancelling material. The neat thing about this is that it works while still allowing air to flow through. Even if it's not blocking broa

I'm not a troll, I'm seriously objecting to the idea that we should reject the concerns of a dying person as "technophobic", as if that's some kind of silver bullet in an argument in favor of technology. I've n

If you're using GNU Parallel for simple, non-parallel command line tasks and scripting, I've written a tool which I find to be much more intuitive: https://github.com/Miserlou/Loop The author of GNU Parallel

That's a whole lot of work for a result that's indistinguishable from a Markov chain generator..

Okay. Makes sense to me. Now what are you going to do about busybody deletionists with power driving away every single new contributor - and most of the old ones?

No paper, no code, no comparison to other models - hell, they didn't even label the graphs. This is just Google PR spam.

What are the hypothetical requirements of a craft/probe which could be sent to chase after this object? Could we build something very small but extremely fast perform a fly-by? It kills me to think we've been visited by a mystery
