"For those of you who grew up on Forums, you know that it’s so, so much more. It is inevitable that the masses will eventually feel the same way too. We’re just waiting for someone to step up and host the house party." The above was the r

Pretty cool. I wonder what fraction of the wiring in the brain these represent. I guess these are only the largest "pathway" structures?

I've superimposed the 'charge' and 'range' graphs. The gap indicates the reserve. http://i.imgur.com/mfB1IJ6.png I guess Tesla needs to figure out how to prevent wonky gaps like the one at 400 miles. Seems the algorithm jumped too quickly

Can't edit the main article anymore, but here's a rally-point for future updates: http://hnproposition.blogspot.co.uk/ Been emailed to everyone who contacted me. Hopefully has not hit too many spam boxes.

To those who responded by email. Please give me a few days. I may need to set-up a mailing-list/blog/twitter to broadcast info before getting to you individually as the response has blown past my expectations.

by hmexx 14y ago
Correct. Thought I'd confirm this response so there is no confusion as to what I am offering. The $8000 in the title is not 100% accurate.

Fair enough. I can see where you are coming from, although even if you found out my real identity (which might be possible if you look carefully enough through my history of comments), you would not find anything that would substantially st

by hmexx 14y ago
No, but I prefer sharing my identity on a 1-on-1 basis during project discussions, rather than put it in the proposition.

Still need to iron out the details but... World. Upfront will be small (possibly nil) to prevent time-wasters. We can agree milestones based on nature of project. Once code is flowing onto a shared repository for a couple days, I'll feel co

Pre-emptive FAQ: Isn't this a horrible deal? Incubators typically inject more money for far less equity! I earn $10K a month, I could easily save up $8K in a few months, and do this myself for 100% equity. True. If you can get into YCom

I would say the main reason they left the desktop is Office... not file system manipulation. Jumping into Office from Metro, without going through the Desktop would be even more jarring.

Even if they don't "capture" the process in an obvious way, they will often capture it in the form of experience. In the rare case that it does not lead to a better process or experience AND is not noticed by the end-user AND is not noticed

These types of optimizations can be crazy only if they are relevant to a SINGLE INSTANCE . If the designer figured out a better way of scaling an image, that he will use EVERY TIME moving forward, he has just improved himself and/or his

I'm in the minority who believes that Microsoft's tablet strategy is reasonable. Their long-term goal is to provide tablets that look more or less like the incumbents (8-10 inch, light, 10 hour battery life, 9mm thin), but can also run any

It's in closed beta. I need to add a few features that allow people to locate others, find hotspots, etc before the main release (otherwise you only bump into people on facebook and google) Probably mid-Jan will open it up entirely as the h
