hmm... There were signs at JFK and also at SFO that prohibited cameras last time I traveled internationally (about a year ago). Where is this quote from?

Ah yes, I learned to do this as well with certain professors. I always found the ME professors were impressed after the first lecture and could tell I was paying attention. But with some others, it was a different story.

The best way to take notes is to not do it during the class. Pay full attention only to the teacher/speaker during the class/lecture and make a conscious attempt to remember everything they said. Immediately following, get together with

I think (one of) the biggest difficulties is that it's not as simple as Make your apps, websites and tools as simple as possible There are two targets that could be aimed for- (a) some kind of inherent intuitiveness/simplicity (as in the

Wow, good work. And pretty scary- imagine what one could do with this on any college campus.

hmm.... I guess the "fair" thing would be for it to count as late, although I wish that wasn't the case. I struggled to figure out what the "hack a system to your advantage" question really meant (given that I read that pg essay a while bac

I would strongly doubt there'll be any difference in penetration in the short-term. You may not be able to think of common use cases, or any at all, off the top of the head, but over the course of a year, chances are you'll come across some

You hit the nail on the head. And "Reopen all windows from last session" feeds the addiction, since you can recover from a flash-crash without losing all your tabs. Friends and family literally have literally made a novelty of exposing safa

Really, that's very surprising. I'm a longtime Cyberduck user and had no idea...

I'm thinking because it's not using AIM or any chat server, seems like the backend is new, run by Apple, and dedicated solely to this. If I were to predict the future, I'd say iChat will probably stagnate feature-wise, and the features that

I really think the comparison with politicians is (probably unintentionally) disingenuous. The thing that would make reframing an argument in different terms dishonest is (a) when it is done without telling you- politicians don't say, look

Guys. Guys. Stop believing these conspiracy theorists. This story is craaaaaaaaazy.

If I understand your point correctly, it can be summarized as "Applications are probably doing whatever the heck they want on iOS too, we just don't know about it." If that's not your general idea, please correct me. There are at least two

Here is the actual research paper that this news story is based on: http://appanalysis.org/tdroid10.pdf Also addressing the point by ergo98 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1744151 , a single anecdote does not a convincing argument ma

hmm... haven't I read somewhere about building something people want and releasing quickly, and then iterating on it when you hear from people what they want differently?

He's saying that if you consider the race results as a control of sorts, and you operate under the assumption that there is nothing inherent in race that would create the results shown, it is obvious that the variable being measured is not

At least for Muslims, there is an obvious flaw since Islam forbids dating. So people that self-identified as "very serious" are pretty much by-definition not that. And since it is, among all the practices of Muslims, one that is popularly k

Okay, so I thought back to my physics days some more, and the real understanding of the problem lies in understanding the definition of tension. The scale is actually measuring tension in the rope. An informal definition of tension: cut the

huh. I wish my advisor had been told about this. Before I dropped out, I'm pretty sure the problems I was having in my Ph.D. were mostly because of not doing 1, 2, 3, and 10. And my prof. pretty much pushed us towards 5 (the too soon one)

I thought he made it pretty clear that he made some effort to get his software approved by exception through talking to execs, etc. So obviously that explains the "limbo". Presumably, he recognized it would just get rejected through the ord

To be fair, it is using interpreted code, which is clearly not allowed. He chose to build something that clearly goes against the terms and then he's hoping for an executive-level exception to the rule because "it's so cool". But if they gi

I'm guessing you need to be pretty established in order to draw the traffic for this testing to be meaningful. Otherwise how can you build traffic with no rep. and nothing concrete?
