Yeah, but it does seem like this could be a retail (via online sales) product. I don't really see many e-ink commercially deployed around me, and I'm in the bay area. I think the company(ies) controlling this tech ought to try t

...How dare you even consider making something cool that others might want, and result in further sales! For Shame! (Truly insane position of the company - they ought to hire this person and make this a product one can buy.)

Insanely cool. E-ink is just one of those technologies that ought to be so much further along, but I've always gotten the gut feeling that the company that controls this tech is just so out of touch. Reading how the software can't

Exactly what I came to the comments for... dimensional analysis, done right - you the real mvp! Thanks.

Awesome... Looking for College Chemistry... Would greatly appreciate.

Whoa - you really hit upon a question that I've also had. Keybase does seem to be suffering from feature creep that is actually making it harder to 'sell' to a non-super-tech person. They really ought to rethink their UX&#x2

Holy smokes - I 'ran' into this website a few weeks ago whilst cleaning up an old computer.... and chuckled (my copy that I had saved on this computer is/was old - lets just say that). And then I chance upon it being talked a

I totally can get behind the idea of building up tech industries elsewhere, though it is a really tough chicken/egg problem. Smart people are not going to smallTown X if there's just one/two tech firms with which to bounce b

I just hope that if you're thinking about a move, read comments from folks that either grew up in the area being considered and/or those that moved back from. There are very real reasons why people move into the Bay Area - and put

I really really really really wanted to be on that last one too. Especially when they asked, "does anyone have a problem with the police." I think I began to salivate. ;-)

Sadly, that 'data' will be used in a manner (most likely) inconsistent with any rigorous scientific underpinnings - but passed to policy makers as such.

YES. Dimensional analysis and a basic understanding of metric prefixes. Again, this is just ass-u-me'd to be well understood by all.

PS - regarding the actual switch. Agreed. This instrument was of a poor UI. One switch was in the front, the other in the back. Still, this was a regulated contract laboratory with cert's. Upon discovery - they did perform corrective

The reason why the code failed to realize there was even an issue?...(in the case I mentioned earlier) The software looked at the calibration data using linear best fit (standard stuff) and provided the r^2 was within the specified range -

Very true. I was thinking more of third party labs. A lot of these services are outsourced due to costs / need. For labs that are a part of the system - yeah, I definitely can see how a person working would feel the need to be a '

I was recently called in for jury duty, as a Professor in the physical sciences - I'm rarely selected (although I love being on them.) The person next to me was an MD. Well the question was asked of both of us, (paraphrasing): "is

Oh boy, I didn't realize this and will need to check about this. I thought that filtering would help, but if those folks that I've shared my calendar with are seeing this weirdness.... Between this and the fact any joker can shar

Would also like someone to perhaps chime in too... In the "good" old days (some of us will recall mind you), those in power ($) controlled all information flow. We now have (though not as strong as I would like it) outlets in whic

Why exactly is this story on HN? Read the article, and was like - so?... I guess there's a DB mentioned, although containing 10 entries sounds like a joke. So trying to find the "tech" angle and all.

State replication is well understood - if one's system(s) allow for data to travel outside of a 'cloud' (network resource), then there needs to be a compelling reason. Not saying that 100% of systems can be pushed up to a cl

Honestly, I can't add much more than what has already been said here... If your data/biz/org/etc is crippled because of these types of attacks, then you really need to have a frank discussion around IT/resource allo

100% spot on!

Probably because, recently, CA passed a state law making these legal?... I also am in the Bay Area, and I assure you - we have more than enough busy bodies that would report (if they could).

Maybe this is a definitions issue. One's 'junior' is another 'novice' - I say this, as I think that there's been a huge gulf forming in how we view the meaning of words (particularly relative to HR)...

We all here would agree with the 80/20 rule. Try explaining that to management and/or HR. It would seem to be beyond their abilities of comprehension. Sure they will provide lip service; however, the moment you try to have an au

"...no one could guarantee ..." Key phrase to be sure. Many people that I know talk about how people need to know how much something costs - but these systems themselves don't know how much anything costs. Furthermore, they k
