There is not enough context to judge each action (ie such moves could be bad in specific markets with lot of red tape) However, by default I'd say there are great ideas, and if they got the boot for asking forgiveness, maybe it's a good thi

Why exactly should you be afraid when a turing complete language is used to do computation by people who do not understand more complicated languages? I do not see the point of the article. In fact, we should instead celebrate that excel is

This is apparently a slick hardware implementation, accurate and all. But after reading the OP article, you'll realize that all he did was to play with the hello word like demo given by the SDK and create nothing (and BTW broke the SDK ag

Suggestion for the OP - read more about computer vision. Extracting gestures is indeed a problem. Most of the approaches I know depend on a state triggered by the appearance of a new input (in the video, when you add or a remove a finger) a

(watched this and submitted it immediately to HN) HIGHLY recommended to anyone who enjoyed the article. It's a remote PHY injection at the hardware level - basically hacking the chip directly thanks to "special" content, i.e. putting a pa

That is great HN content! Debugging deep down the rabbit hole, until you find a bug in the NIC EEPROM - and the disbelief many show when hearing a software message can bring down a NIC. I for one would enjoy reading more content like this

That's an interesting point - one I mostly agree with. But if you explore the ideas fully, how much do you keep of your initial self? And how do you do that, if you knows beforehand of the pitfalls, such as the ones you mentioned? How can y

Excellent suggestion: religious textbooks are great sources of inspiration. However, they are dangerous, in the fact that while 90% of the content is great, the remaining 10% may damage one's personal progression. These 10% require adequate

Arrogance is not the problem, even if it points you to the easy way (low quality C++ code as you presented) The problem is you not only that you are not challenged, but you don't love what you do - when you enjoy something, doing it is its

Shorter list : - Read the "Epistulæ Morales ad Lucilium" from Seneca - Read the "Bhagavad Gita" to avoid being stuck in a given interpretation. - Shy away from religion. Find the truth by yourself And therefore make your own list of how to

(Great example with soccer fans!) Homogeneity is just a proxy - but if people can better relate to eachother if they look the same and/or believe in the same things, maybe it's a valuable proxy? But you're right, the ability to relate to ea

On the first glance it seems great, but much more complex to understand and debug. The if tree was certainly not pretty, but straightforward - it did its thing. It was something that could be given to an average developer to work on and imp

I'm not a plane designer, but there are very interesting pictures. However, the article is weird - "And, above all, the aircraft is way to small" The point of a stealth fighter is in being stealthy. Being small may therefore be a good thing

Don't make any mistake - I'd love to be proven wrong, and you have great points. The eastern european countries I was referring to were the former communist countries now part of (or soon to be part of) Europe - to which the Czech republic

There seems to be a strong homogeneity in eastern europe (what's the percentage of foreign born - totalling first and second generation not coming from neighbouring countries? I'd guesstimate it would be <10%). Except in Bulgaria, resen

It's not about poverty and greed. There is a large social support system in european countries. It's not about being denied citizen status - most of the people who get themselves in trouble have been born in France, and by jus sanguinis are

Unfortunately. It is a shame that the human race tries to progress without the active help of a approximately a quarter of the world population. One can only hope that islam will see the light like other religions did - yet I doubt that, f

I can not comment on things I did not see. As I said, I read the article (and the posted video), didn't know the details or the story beforehand. I'm not usually interested in gossip - but with the news, it was interesting to try and unders
