I usually only downvote purely out of disagreement if the person trotted out some argument that everyone who disagrees with them has heard before, so that I don't leave the response everyone already knows that rebuts it. E.g., the old

Note too this article is about the making the second version of the sound just released ( http://www.thx.com/consumer/movies/120832135 ). Also he clears up a myth he started about the original code being 20K lines.

Usually it's only ethical to pay expert witnesses. At most maybe try to get some free suits and first-rate hotel rooms out of it :) ... but if you're judged to be a whistle-blower you do get paid for winning.

Whatever you're looking for you won't find it on Elance or similar sites. Generally, those are places to pump out boring work at cheap prices. As far as skills go, just look for programming skills, ideally with a body of completed

Don't under-estimate the power of single layer neural networks--classifiers. They're much cheaper to train effectively and avoid over-fitting. Also, I've had good results using multiple classifiers that essentially cast votes

Are you hiring for remote workers? If not, do a search on your city and see how many jobs come up. If barely any then that's the reason (chicken egg problem because your local devs have no reason to use the site). Otherwise consider ha

I listen to lots of progressive as well as libertarian radio/media, and they all support Snowden. He's not just a tech bubble sensation. I might have agreed with you that erecting a statue does nothing. But that it was promptly co

Conventionally audio engineers won't try for above/back of head sounds in stereo but they're possible (samples exist online), if you're wearing headphones or standing in the exact intended position.

I'm glad Apple was so thoughtful with their UX. However, I think the appeal of quality watches is their timelessness and endurance. They could conceivably work just as well centuries from now. The iWatch can't work more than a day

To me, Magic seems like a ChaCha that takes your credit card number and makes a few calls. That's fine, but it seems that places like Task Rabbit and Amazon Home are attempting to guarantee some level of satisfaction and results. I&#x2

It handles extraction too, trying to find where the results are and then extracting individually the title/summary/url/date. To elaborate on the general approach I used, it was to take each node in the web page and get stats

I think you should learn the fundamentals of programming first. Choose a language, probably one commonly used in web development (JS, Ruby, Python, Java, etc), and go through tutorials on basic programming. After you master that (maybe 1+ y

If you're ok spending lots of money, maybe you can get a dedicated fiber line. Companies like Level3, Cogent, or XO might work, but if this place is really isolated it might be too hard. I found Level3 the easiest to talk to.

The credit limit was about fronting money to grow the business. Overall I think HN is being too harsh. This is a person taking a rather honest look at himself and giving us a glimpse into his life that also happens to capture an interesting
