Very cool! Can't wait. And it's 60 degrees, blue skies, and sunny in Portland at the moment. Just saying ;)

Me too! Can I make a request for Portland next? :) It seems like the easiest way to keep prices updated would be to have an iPhone and Android app (or maybe just a good mobile site) where users or store owners looking to drum up business co

I agree wholeheartedly we should exercise caution! But thinking less of Linux because the military picked it up and said "Hey this is an awesome tool!" seems wrongheaded and counter-productive to me.

Given how much critical American economic infrastructure runs on Linux, there is a strong military case for reporting and fixing bugs. Without economic power, there is no military power.

Exactly! And let's not stop there. The fact that the military uses steel is a big negative for steel in my eyes. If you work in steel production, you're indirectly supporting the U.S. military and by extension murder, aggression, and terror

There are lots of dedicated fans who are locked out by a price higher than $45. To some people, $45 is a huge amount for a single night of entertainment. To other people it is an insignificant amount. Pricing the tickets higher/lower than $

Interesting. I guess I was mostly just focused on the bittorrent integration and block-chain pruning elements, both of which sound great for bitcoin. Just did a very quick skimming trying to understand demurrage currency. Sounds very, very

CL isn't US Steel. I doubt Craigslist even has a straight 40% of rental market share. But for urban 20-somethings looking for cheap living situations and roommates? It feels like it has 95% market share. At least in Portland. This is all th

The first question that comes to mind: why not just use bitcoin? Have you explored adding the features you want to see to the (open-source) bitcoin project?

Most landlords probably never even realize the traffic first got to CL through Padmapper at all. Whenever I'm asked, I automatically just say CL. Bringing up Padmapper is just likely to confuse. CL is deliberately making its service less us

Yes, "If you build it, they will come" works. But: "If they come, especially if 450,000 users come in six months, you will get $10 million dollars. Then you will build it." This could also work ;)

Udacity provides the feedback: "Your code passed 7 of 11 tests. It failed on test: input = [0,0,0]." The tests are arranged in order of normal input to increasingly strange user input, i.e., edge cases. Should be easy enough for Codecademy

In Codeacademy you do learn by building a functional project: a Blackjack game in Javascript. It may not be taking a CS 101 course at an Ivy league school, but it's a great game to get people to start using if statements, loops, conditional

Thank you kindly for the link good sir! And thank goodness a technologically competent company is hosting the advertising for this new technological product. Such hosting is apparently beyond the technological capabilities of the maker of s

An elegant solution. Sorta like the idea that there should be two leagues for the Olympics, the Tour de France, et al.: one with steroids, one without. It would be interesting to see which got more viewers.

Do you know of anyplace that quantifies the actual performance difference of the different ARM versions? Just want to see the general improvement jump over time

Finally a Hackernews post that inspires poetry: Snoozeworthy mobos But wooden dish drying rack? Stroke of pure genius!

Just got this. Wow. Superbrothers and LIMBO just have straight-up 32-bit or 64-bit .deb packages. (Or tarballs.) So easy. If only all software distribution was done as flawlessly as the Humble Bundle. Spectacular.

And Psychonauts is an absolute classic. A game unlike any other. Tim Schafer at his best. As funny as his better known Monkey Island. Well, almost.

Bah. Hacker News is not some sacred vault. It is a news aggregator for gods sake. And I am glad to have seen this short, sweet blog post. So I voted for it, in the hopes that others see it and enjoy it too :)

I don't know. Maybe. But he doesn't seem nearly agile enough. He seems to be hellbent on a single goal: get to space on the cheap. I don't think he's ever going to be able to pivot away from that.

I agree that your work crowdsourcing PACER will have a far greater positive impact on American democracy than my signing this petition. But it's not like I or anyone else who signs this petition is going to dust off our hands afterwards and

What's more exciting than this computer itself is the potential it represents. If you read the actual product page [apc.io], a lot of it is devoted to just how small this new Neo-ITX form factor is. For comparison's sake: Mass-market pa

This is cost in terms of "how much will it cost me to hire SpaceX or the Soyuz to take my tourist self / science experiment / mining robot to LEO." If you want to call that price, go for it. Obviously this is pure theorycraft for the Space

Overseeing the dawn of a new era of human spaceflight? Cutting through the mountain of technical hurdles and bureaucratic processes to get this actually done? Fuck CYA. There is no CYA here. There is success, and there is failure. As it sho

Cost per kilo to Low Earth Orbit (LEO): Space Shuttle: $19, 824 per kg [1] Soyuz-2: $5,333 per kg [2] Falcon 9: $5,167 per kg [3] At the moment, the Falcon 9 is not that much cheaper than the Soyuz. Elon Musk's talk of $1,100 p

Teachers are damn smart people. And very practical when it comes to their tools. If the lessons plans are good enough for a huge numbers of teachers to drop $700k on them, you can damn well bet they were developed with a huge investment of

I'm doing something similar in Portland and it's about ~$500/month with roommates. So I figure the same: my $12k will be a 12 month window. Our winters are lovely, as long as you don't mind a little wet.
