   Woah, I forgot Google toolbar existed. What time to be alive - you'd go over to {insert technologically incompetent relative}'s house and each time there'd be a new toolbar installed.

   Acquisition is one cost but paying an expert radiologist to actually read the scan is another cost entirely. Decreased cost may increase use in cases where it's not necessary, which could reduce the mean throughput of the system.

   It'd be interesting to see if they could get multithreaded support with web workers. Good stuff!

   I agree on the melatonin front. I prefer a couple of whiskeys and a benadryl for long flights.

   Well I agree, ideally this should be automatic and inherent to a business, but when a company gets to a certain size you need people to be really thoughtful and consciously focused about this stuff, otherwise it can slip. So sometimes growt

   A diversity officer isn't necessarily a waste of money. They can be crucial for ensuring a solid company culture that levages talents from a diverse pool of people. If you make your company inhospitable to groups of employees based on

   I agree. It'd be terrible UX if I was Turkish, Facebook had the check in feature, some of my friends could get around the block and say they are okay while others couldn't.

    With normal programming (e.g Python web development) you have a really good idea of what you are building before hand. That's not necessarily the case here. Also it sounds like they did various rewrites at different points.

    LEDs use pulse width modulation to dim, so if it's a subpar circuit with relatively large width duty cycle, that might be what you're picking up. Might want to check out persistence of vision displays. They rely on tricking your b

    A bit off topic but the first thing I thought of when reading parent's comment was "What about Gaia GPS?". Thank you for that app/service! I really dig it. I've used it in Berkeley and all over the South Island of N

    I've been wondering this as well. Even with the key derivation function, I'd imagine the CPU also has some secure keys stored in it as well, and these keys are so long that it wouldn't be feasible to brute force it. I'm

    I think a hidden folder is a decent compromise. >If you're worried about the added clutter in the root directory of your project, we also added support for a .github/ folder. You can put CONTRIBUTING.md, ISSUE_TEMPLATE.md, and

    Exactly. Property values might not continue to grow at such a high rate but they aren't going to decrease by 30%. That's ludicrous.

    I don't think I've ever had a place ask me for my resume in word format. The closest is a Microsoft interview where they sent me some forms in docx format that I had to send back filled in. Also you can do some basic conversion fr

    Just needs to get the right angle for the camera. I don't know if he'd need any approval for capturing. Looking up license plates/acting on the data could get one into trouble I imagine though.

    I wonder if YC will see accept any companies/ideas that have a low probability of of reaching IPO / acquisition at >= $100M. Plenty of good companies aren't going to reach this scale but could certainly use their expertise

    Ads are most effective when they are personalized, and it's hard for site to personalize an ad for you if you don't visit it frequently and it isn't relying on cookies from other sites. It's definitely doable though...

    The problem I see with relying on the cloud in mobile settings is that downloading and uploading stuff really eats at your battery quickly. Additionally at least in the US, cellular data plans aren't particularly cheap.
