Linkedin is down 38%. Tesla is down quite a bit. My guess is that some VCs were leveraged and had to liquidate positions. Free money from leverage does not look as good when equities go down... I think we are heading for a most violent year

I believe wealth transfer is not the right terminology. Short to medium term economic leverage would be more appropriate, IMHO. Producers have temporarily lost the upper hand, while over capacity allows consumption growth that would not hav

this bias is something that has been creeping up more and more; if another unbiased forum for hackers-entrepreneurs does emerge I'd love to hear from it. I'm finding myself back on slashdot often these days, which has less of thes

This is a worthy endeavour. I want to download and help test and develop this today. Helping deflate this ad-bubble before it turns into the "The Zero Theorem" is worth the effort. This however does not tackle the mindset shift th

I carry an apple watch that does not make it past 36 hours of strictly telling time. (feeling spartiate again, maybe I'll finally order that pebble... :-)

This thread has justified the time wasted on hn. I had recently felt the signal to noise has been dropping consistently here; The smarts catalyzed here justifies keeping HN in my list. The signal is still strong. I feel an awakening. Cheers

cmon. Not a chance. Dorian had at least the name. I suspect this guy could not write C++ that even compiles to save his life. He's an IT expert with a long list of acronyms that sell threats models to the government. As to why the fake

It actually works with openCL. I had to do a few changes to make it work on MacOSX, but I beleive the language barrier and the fact that his project is in a flux and I came out of the blue caused these few lines to not merge. Please see my

no wifi. Simple, very simple, bad business decision, to pander to the carriers. By simply adding the HW and disabling by default they would have appealed to geeks and devs; instead in 2006 we were importing at top dollars grey market nokia

in true experience I have to say that there can be (there not automatically is) much more to a 80$ bottle from pomerol than to a 22000$ phone.

you need to spit it and eat in between (preferably amidon laden stuff) to keep sharp taste buds connected to a clear mind. Especially if you are going to commit to a couple of cases.

same here. I was going to order one last week to get the 1TB ssd via pcie 4 lanes (I have the 16/512 and that's hurting me at times, both ram and ssd), and to generally refresh battery and other things that get older; I was also w

Wow that took a while to sink in. How much of what you read daily is semi-machine generated? Are smart editors using machine-learning text editing techniques about to bog down the creative/productive for eyeballs?

This is the perfect example as to why we need to focus on the customer problem not the technical solution.

wow cool idea. I wonder what could be achievable in terms of precision with different frequencies on seperate speakers and 2 or 3 microphones; a paper(printed) or laser lit (on a surface) keyboard?

sorry for the confusion, no I'm really referring to plpgsql, it's quite a powerful language; the APIs for the essential extensions such as hstore, and integrated types such as json, array, strings etc have evolved over several yea

(accidentally posted this to the root of the story) Postgresql 9.4 with jsonb sends mongo to the dustbin, IMHO. If you have to write it in js close to the data or if plpgsql is too steep of a learning curve, you can play with the experiment

I'd second the want for ethernet with PoE, with slots for rechargeable AA batteries for power outages. I bet more than 10% of fire alarms currently installed in the USA have a dead battery.

I think the distinction of what is a PR piece and what is not has kind of blurred dramatically recently, dont you? It's an interesting concept to beam power via ultrasound, but it sure sounds optimistic at any realistic distance, or to
