Two figures that stood out to me were the 1.1 million render hour / day capacity of the farm and the quoted total of 190 million render hours for the film. That means almost half a year (~172 days) was spent rendering the film on this

No, if they did, they would not be able to claim that drivers are contractors. People driving on Lyft/Uber are allowed to perform trips at will, and can go on/offline as they please. Something that would cause problems is if a dri

I think the amazing thing here is that the top 18 teams solved as many problems as Stanford, CMU, and UC Berkeley combined, and those schools are currently 3 of the top 4 ranked CS undergraduate programs in the US.

A liquid container designed to keep its contents cool as long as possible? Sounds like a the job for a dewar flask. I've left drinks out in this overnight and they were still cold in the morning: https://shop.funraniumlabs.c

These coins haven't (on average) been moved in the last 2.17 years. An extremely early Bitcoin player is moving coins around, and it just happens to be on the same day 'Satoshi Nakamoto' was doxxed. Coincidences are usually i

You forgot Tipjoy (W08) and Snapjoy (S11). Another thing YC companies love is using "hello@" for their contact email address.

Keen is one of those companies like GitHub, Heroku, or Mailchimp that makes it easier to focus on what I'm actually trying to do. Best of luck to them.

I am using my gaming PC that I built years ago and a $1079/mo dual hexacore dual Tesla M2090 server from Softlayer. Fortunately I have a $1k/mo Softlayer credit, so my hardware costs were approximately $79. My rent includes electr

Dogecoin has surpassed Litecoin's transaction volume in USD for the last two days. It's still finding its place in the world, and it's possible that place isn't 3rd.

The exchange rate took a hit as the 26MM was sold off for Bitcoins, but it has since bounced back. In the last 24 hours, there have been 7MM USD worth of transactions in Dogecoins, more than any cryptocurrency except Bitcoin.

It's a nascent currency, it's natural for a smaller amount of people to get in early. I think the more interesting statistic is that, not accounting for addresses for nil/near 0 balance, more than half of all DOGE owners have

The 12-hour lifespan of content links is interesting; it prevents indexing or hot-linking content on the site. Even if the RIAA/MPAA/etc. set up bots watching the room and issuing takedowns for infringing files, the time allowed t

Once they told me to use one stack for enqueueing and one for dequeueing, I immediately solved the problem. What I didn't understand is why you would a.) implement your own queue structure and b.) implement it in such a non-intuitive w

Hiring engineers is hard, and companies haven't really figured it out yet. Even the best companies rely on puzzles and gimmicks that often have little to do with day-to-day programming. At one company I interviewed with, I was asked to
