   If your selection had some sort of curation/checking to ensure that items fit into correct categories, I'd totally use this to buy furniture. Having to scroll through endless websites of manufacturers, resellers, relabelers, etc

   Vile Rat was an exceptional diplomat and a key part of Goonfleet/Goonswarm. He is missed by all who interacted with him.

   Goonswarm six or so years ago would raise 20-30k a year from donations to pay for colo and bandwidth. All hardware was donated from corporate IT takeouts.

   I would never say that EVE doesn't reward playing at any level. I'm just wired to do things bigger - and I have a hard time playing at a lower level in most anything. I would recommend getting into a good corp/alliance thoug

   I can say that, with almost perfect certainty, that any side who loses a major battle will complain about there being a bug. Or lag. Bugs, mistakes and the rapid exploitation of the above are definitely in the spirit of the game.

   I miss EVE but it is all consuming, especially when you're part of a great alliance/corp. As an member of Goonfleet/Goonswarm, I ran the logistics for the Battle of XZH, where a scrappy group of upstarts from Syndicate waged

   Let's say you want to see a particular event that happens multiple times (like a play) in your area. This allows you to search for the best seats in every instance of that event so you can make the best single selection.

   I've written a lot of Java, so no problem there. C is sparse. I like that. Less "clever ways to screw up that others have to debug later". I can't disagree about C++. I only use a chunk of it myself.

   I agree about C++ on embedded. Why is C not productive? Is it that more modern languages handle more background work for you?

    I'm interested in why you believe this to be the case.

    I thought HN of all places would celebrate this - a growth hack by a down and out mathematician. He just increased his inbound funnel by many multiples. He's now "killing it" and has been acquihired by his target. ;)

    Doesn't this destroy your good credit? I've always wanted to do this, but that worry always crops up.

    Actually, if you read more articles about the doctors putting people on disability, it is far more nuanced. When there are no jobs in the area, you don't have an education, and you don't have enough money to move, what option do y

    Thanks! I thought about holds, but people may want to hold these goods for longer than a week. Are there any options that doesn't require them to lay out the whole amount of money up front?

    Ask HN: Is there a way to set up an "escrow" online in case of fraud/damage?

    People were disappointed it was only 10 hours long. I see that as a selling point, but many don't.

    I think the vibrate would catch people who aren't really looking at their phone and the x% of people who don't know how to really use their phone.

    There were some larger violations/extraordinary effects possible, but you could get caught by logs then.

    Anecdote: A good friend of mine from my PhD program emigrated to Norway. He took his technical PhD and got a job at Google. He then moved to ARM. He's now working for a Norwegian company. He loves it.

    All of it, at least the last time I checked. You used to be able to wrap the client in your own Python, execute that, and give yourself extraordinary powers (read data from any market in game, send a pop up message to any player, etc)

    There is much more to it than getting hardened electronics. For example, I was talking with some Westinghouse engineers and the biggest problem with the robots at Fukushima were the cameras. The radiation crazes the lenses and you become bl

    In truth, I don't know why no one else is bidding in. Perhaps it seems too risky or too outside the core business. As for home automation, sure. I cannot see why these companies aren't trying to stake out the Internet of Things
