It would be nice to see a WMS (google style webmap service) of this. She should try Geoserver. Before they will appear in the right places, she will need to geostamp them. GDAL is a great way to do this.

A much better, more useful article than I guessed from the title. The author signposts fast / cheap ways of getting (the things that take ages/money) done. Mostly this consists of paying someone to do it. I hadn't come across

My take on what is negative about the HN subculture - Basically, startups probably don't work out. But if you bet on a lot of them, and do it well, you will make money from the few that do. To found a startup is to make a bet that isn&

Having followed what Loren is doing now (Penflip), I think he made the right choice. It may go big, it may not, but it is a great execution of a nice concept, and has a lot of potential. I don't think you can call the guy lazy. He just

Well, I read your comment as saying that TOR should be seen as compromised. Your comments about other market owners only seem make sense if that was what you were saying. I just pointed out that the previous attack you mentioned was a bit o

I wouldn't bet on how many guys there are. Big incentive to spread misinformation. Wait for the court case, and then the jail book.

That isn't correct. The US placed a virus on the sourcecode of freedom hosting, either by seizing control of the servers, or by hacking, which exploited a vulnerability specific to version of firefox found in a popular all in one TOR a

To get around FP paywall, use Firefox -> Web Developer -> Inspect to delete the translucent element over the article, then copy paste into notepad.

The idea of beacon is really good, but I agree with PP that the implementation needs work. If I am going to buy one of these authors work, I need to see that work. You need a front page, with the best stories this day from your selection of

When you say consulting, what do you mean? To me, consulting is 'providing outside expertise and advice, to teach a client what to do and how'. For instance, you might have a sales consultant teach you how to build a better sales

It looks like this awesome visualization was done with Three.js, but I wanted to flag Ceasium[1] to anyone wanted to do 3D 'map stuff' in a browser. It has some great features, like built in support for CRS systems (hard), WMS&#x2

Another question is 'What kind of great developer?'. The best developers I've seen in terms of producing awesome technology tend to be quiet, methodical people. They are highly disciplined, and have a routine. This regular, s

The Google redesign seems to be about creating a walled garden, tied together by Google Plus, Android, and aggressive highlighting of other Google services on each page. Maybe they fear that if they don't trap the users, Facebook will.

How many grams in total do you get in a pack? In a lot of Europe (certainly UK, I heard also France), you can only buy 16 pills (about 8g) at a time, unless your doctor writes you a ticket. The pills themselves may contain a lot of chemica

Maybe that sort of government guarantee is the only way to compete in a field like semiconductors. Building a fab and developing semi technologies requires a huge amount of capital, but if a competitor comes up with a better process you los

One place I worked used noise cancelling tech (some white noise, along with what appeared actual noise cancelling) to the effect that you couldn't hear a conversation ten foot away. I'm constantly surprised we don't see this

I code best after 5 too, but am fairly sure it's due to lack of distractions. Have you tried coming in on a weekend? I have to do that sometimes, and with the office empty I have the same productivity as at 6 when they have all gone ho

Looking at the last generation of non-windows Nokia phones reveals how 'bad' Android is as a phone OS. Nokia's Asha range could go a month between charging. They had support for apps, and for instance had a spotify client. Th

Yeah, I get that it's valid Perl code, but it doesn't cause the computer to do something, or give an interesting output. A human can read it and find it interesting. I tried to say that in a witty way. Oh well...
