I read about the Uberman sleep schedule stuff myself when I was younger and trying to recover time I "wasted" sleeping. I ended up trying Uberman myself (15 minute naps, 6x per day). I did a decent amount of prep work. I talked to

Can you provide a citation? I haven't heard any evidence that they were actively interfering in connections, only recording what was broadcast in the clear.

I've actually had two in-person interviews that did this. They were old bugs in open source libraries that had already been fixed, but obscure enough that I was unlikely to know them. You solve the bug sitting with the reviewer. I don&

I like using App Engine for simple static sites like this. For simple stuff like this I've never actually hit the point where I have to pay. SSL is pretty easy to set up, you can slap a domain on it or use the default appspot domain pr

I'd lump them into the category of people who would make production code depend on things in experimental to get around code reviews.

The way I've described it to people is that you need to get at least one review from someone who... - is an Owner of the code - has Readability in the language of the code - is not you If you are an owner and have readability, you just

Every team I've been on at Google has presubmits that enforce this, along with command line tools to "fix" it. There's no arguments about spacing. Nobody really cares about extra lines, but if you use tabs instead of spa

If I remember correctly, the decoy volume treats all the hidden space as available disk space. TrueCrypt used to have a warning that booting into the decoy volume could scramble the hidden volume when the OS wrote files to disk if it happen

The best part is that you have to use their wax refills. So they'd get you on the initial purchase and then get you again supplying you with wax.

I've seen this, and it's horrific. It was 2008, and I worked for a large investment bank (think in the Goldman Sachs echelon). I was on a transition team moving risk analysis for $1bn in synthetic CDO assets from Excel spreadsheet

I'm not fully aware of the politics involved in this, so there might be some faux pas in here, but could you balance the large states so that there's an even number of votes and then give the micro-states the tie-breaker? I'd

Have you used offline maps in Google Maps? And compared it to the old mapping software you're talking about? It's kind of amazing, and frankly I often don't notice the difference between online and offline. The maps sync on a

This is already true, and is not an uncommon situation. This is akin to saying "half the population makes less than the mean income". But this is HN, so let's throw some numbers in to see how badly it's skewed already. T

Yeah, I use it to see if my old remotes' batteries are dead. They can see in IR, but they can't distinguish it from other light. Maybe that's good enough.

Also it needs to hijack the back stack, so when you try to back out it asks if you really really really want to leave.

I've always wished that you could get a separate IR channel in phone cameras. Combine this with IR ink or IR channels on video feeds and you've got invisible QR codes. I suspect there's huge potential for being able to point
