Yeah, all questions should've gone into a queue for review as the talk was going on. I had to shut off the Q&A; this was just cringeworthy.

I see two options: 1) they're using Hyper-V and exposing a small number of hypercalls to allow for rendering and interaction. 2) they've overloaded the Hyper-V name for a user space sandbox. I'm really hoping for the former,

This is awful logic. What happens if there's another financial downturn, causing you to not be able to sell your car? What happens if the price of oil goes way down, causing the value of Teslas to drop dramatically? If you can't

Ah hah! I thought it might be something like that, but figured there was something I wasn't considering. Thanks for the link.

The article mentions searching for gravitational waves. Anyone have info on how they might accomplish that via radio telescope?

I think there's a simpler explanation: observation bias. 30 years ago there was more crime, but if it didn't happen in your town or to someone you knew, you were pretty unlikely to hear about it. Now, there's less crime but w

Frankly, that's how you increase your failure rate. If a system fails, you figure out why, figure out any other failure cases that may have been missed, and you fix them. You don't ditch something that largely works, and replace i

Quantum teleportation can't be used to send data faster than the speed of light, more accurately understood here as the speed of causality. As far as I'm aware, there's really no hypothetical way to violate the speed of causa

How does the overhead scale when you go from, say, having $10k in the pool to $10m? If a service existed that ran a trust where you could put in money and then dictate where your share gets routed, would this overhead keep going up dramati

I just released a VNC client for Hololens, for the express purpose of exposing my Mac to that environment, for development. The resolution is absolutely fantastic . The thing about Hololens is that the resolution all depends on where the

The reason that protein folding and other large-scale projects (e.g. SETI@Home) work is because there's enough data to go around. I think that these projects are likely bound by the fairly small bits of data they have available. If we

I imagine that a large part of this is simply a lack of interest on the part of tech folks. Many fields of biology need people with coding backgrounds, but tech people are often completely unaware of this or (in my case, most of the time) h

This app has been a while in the making. It's a 100% brand new VNC client, exclusively for Hololens, compatible with all VNC servers I've tested. It does require a bluetooth keyboard, and a mouse is also highly recommended. With t

I don't think that the direction of the discussion necessarily imbues the value of an HN post. I also don't think that the skilled trades themselves were the focus of the post; rather, the focus was on what the Koch Brothers did

I would argue that this post sets a great example for businesspeople. Sometimes in business you're going to come across someone with a strong reputation -- negative or positive -- and being able to understand them is important. So

I've gained a massive, massive respect for Mike Rowe over the past 5-10 years. He works to make the world a better place through education and understanding, and this post is a perfect example of this. Kudos to him for speaking out a

You don't need to be concerned about Mercury's day unless they're on the surface, essentially. You do need to be concerned with the earth's, and their positions relative to the sun.

According to Wikipedia, the world's average energy consumption is 12.3Tw. Given that the Earth is gets 1366 W/m² of solar power at 149,597,870km, this means Mercury gets 9190 W/m² at 57,910,000km. Plugging these together, t

Yeah, I typoed the math -- used 240m/s rather than 340m/s for the speed of sound.

by daeken 10y ago
That's my thought. I counted about 12 seconds between initial explosion and the sound hitting the camera, which puts it at roughly 2.88km away. Edit: Helps if I multiply properly. 12 seconds * 340m/s == 4080m.

Chaining this with some form of SMS/MMS bug (a la Stagefright) would make this unbelievably powerful. That's essentially the worst case scenario I can imagine for mobile security.
