I'm working on a very early stage startup to solve this exact problem. One of our main challenges though seems the hardest part of finding a solution is having a social graph to test with, or how to gain traction in the first place. Content

Oh, I seem to have missed that.

Personally, my reservations with charging are two fold: 1) That I come from the open source community, where charging is successful and the value of your code is often personal rather than looking at the user's value. Also, much of my knowl

The only way I can see to do it is constantly scraping HN's pages(unless there's an API?). On another note, having source code on your screen randomly shift and change large blocks of itself might be suspicious, defeating the purpose of thi

I searched but I cannot find any scientific criticism of ALH84001. Can you bring to light what you're referring to?

I'm not familiar with the risks involved with Cell technology; I've been more indoctrinated to think that parallel processing is really the only way forward right now. Would you (or someone) be willing to elaborate on your stance?

The algorithm for "veteran" is really simplistic. It takes your last x throws, searches it's list of throw histories from other people, and determines what the most likely next throw is. I'm currently trying to duplicate this in one line of

The purpose of treating everyone as if they had equal intelligence is not a rigorous scientific pursuit, it's about creating an environment most encouraging to learning and problem solving. Engineers are much more motivated to tackle hard p

I don't understand the purpose of this report, it's just Process Monitor dumps and log files of rootkits being executed directly. No analysis is done, save a bit of ranting on the readme files provided by these rootkits. Is this information

I suppose the issue was more that there are barriers which require the effort beyond that which the 98th percentile will exert for the benefit that Chrome gives, and therefore 98% of users will stick with what's given to them.

Data about the hidden volume is encrypted and kept in the second 512 bytes of the volume, where as data about the normal volume is in the first 512 bytes. If there is no hidden volume, the second 512 bytes are purely random data. It's impos

Chrome is a disallowed program on our network by "Symantec Endpoint Protection". You can install Firefox but it's discouraged by the IT department. I wouldn't doubt if these setups are common among larger corporations.

The real early adopters of Minecraft largely overlapped with the 8-bit/lo-fi enthusiast community, which consists of active forum goes and very connected social gamers. I think a lot of people overlook this when they comment about the graph

I'm 20 years old, tech savy, and I'm weary of facebook connect simply because other cross-site facebook tools have been exploited before, particularly the like-button click-jacking worm (Troj/iframe-ET?) which has filled my own feed with sp

I can't comment on backbone technology, but it's common for network devices to provide Differentiated Services, which is a traffic-type classifier and QoS system. They're needed to keep your FTP traffic from lagging your VOIP call. The only

I'm not sure I'm understanding you right; a hex character is four bits. To tease a hex character out of a 32 bit int, you'd apply a max of 0000000F, where F is the last four bits.

Figure 3 is incomplete; as the space depicted in it is not a valid board configuration. If either x or x' is false, then the respective 1s on the extreme sides will be invalid. This is either a crop of a real situation (in which we assume t

Definitely write up something more specific. Sketching programs (and graphics in general) contain some of the most interesting challenges imho, but there's very little benefit to going up against Adobe / Autodesk. I expected this reply to b

It seems to slow down hugely after doing anything non-trivial (Chrome 5). It's not a hugely new idea, Oekaki boards have been around forever. Their execution is impressive though, throwing in a 'pro' version for free is something that throw

The game is a sandbox game in which the world is made up of block units, all of the same size. Units can be dirt, sand, stone/cobblestone, and various ores. There are trees as well, and combining various raw materials, you craft progressive

The biggest problem with software patents is a limited solution space. For a poor example, implementing text rendering on a graphics card is something which you can very easily formulate three attempts and measure which one works best again
