Yes, and I was thoroughly disappointed by this result. So - new challenge: a radiation hardened quine in less than two times the characters of the equivalent non-radiation hardened version.

I would build this switch with two IR sensors on each side of the console. If the arm and hand touching the screen is approaching from the passenger side, many things are possible. If the car is in motion and the arm is approaching from the

Lovely, but one fairly critical problem - for the 88% of people who are right handed, driving in the 35% of the driving world that drives on the left, they'll need to operate the centre console with their non-dominant hand.

Perhaps it's not a valid assumption - but does it matter? A large chunk of the point of the 2.0 regulation model (the graphic in the OP) is that over time reputation is crowd-sourced. Can we not just live with the existence of sleazy c

Cool - sounds very similar to Osmos. Is it?

crossing of fingers. I probably could have worded that better...

I think some crossing [of fingers] might be in order. HN has a weird hatred of Quora, so if anyone ever finds out how internet-famous you are there, there could be trouble!

So Oliver had 86 karma before posting this. Assuming this marks the start of his intent to post all his 2014 articles, I shall enjoy observing how rapidly this number blossoms...

Respectfully - that's an EVEN LONGER message. You need a sentence. Ten words, tops.

I've been noticing this too. HN has a definite bias against Quora that stems back to the early stories about its blocking content from non-members.

For anyone confused by all the Python nomenclature (hint: Cython != CPython!) this article: http://www.toptal.com/python/why-are-there-so-many-pythons was on HN a few days back, and is worth a read.

Healthcare is free if: * you need emergency care and make your own way to a public hospital * you're prepared to wait for a non-essential treatment * you see a bulk-billing general practitioner * you earn enough such that the cost of m

If this gets popular, I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised if Coca Cola sues them. That logo is a very similar red, and a similar "dynamic ribbon device".

It's not hugely complex to create interlocks such that the cabin occupancy is monitored and the locks are opened when the cabin has fewer than two occupants. I can't immediately think of a completely failsafe version, but I suspec

I stopped reading the article after he admitted that part. What a waste of a setup to ruin the experiment with a completely pointless test.

There's plenty of data on the world wide web that pertains to you but isn't linked to Facebook - yet. AI that can do context aware authorship analysis could have huge returns for Facebook.

I find this a surprisingly good explanation of the benefits of functional programming, not just a how-to guide for the library. It probably helps that I've read LYAH first however...

Amongst other things, that public key cryptography is crackable in polynomial time, rendering it effectively useless if a generalisable algorithm (such as presented in the paper) is able to convert a non-polynomial time algorithm into a pol

Where did you see that it's from August 2012? I recall a claim in August 2010 by Vinay Deolalikar of the opposing view, but haven't seen much public attention since. Ah - I see now. Gotcha.

Well I for one freely admit I can't understand a word of it. But I do appreciate the implications if it's true, and look forward to more readable analysis by others more qualified than myself!

I'm an Australian born in England - what on earth is salad cream? Let alone "Miracle Whip"!?!?! I'm going to assume this is some form of mayonnaise until told otherwise.

Call it "Doctor-assisted martyrdom" then. I'll be a martyr for the cause of not spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on something pointless.

That sounds like an enormous headache. I am very glad to sacrifice 5% of my $10 000/yr grocery bill to not have that headache. $500/yr to not have to listen to anyone telling me how I can save a few more cents? Priceless - no wait

Is there an "about" page? It's awesome, but I couldn't work out if this was crowd-sourced, one person's art project, or something else. <edit> I'm an idiot. It's right there in front of me... never m

Is this actually a problem people have? I get that it's novel and cool, but can't fathom why I'd want it.
