I preordered for a WakeMate way back when I was a BlackBerry user. Wow. Regardless, I'm glad they're finally shipping (for real this time?). I hope it is worth the wait.

The problem with the economy right now is not that there isn't enough money to fund corporations, it's that the average person isn't making enough regular income.

He's ignoring the fact that having Mankiw work less may be a good thing. If Mankiw makes that $1000 for an article, he'll sock it away and it won't get spent for 10+ years. If a starving writer instead takes the job, he'll spend it immediat

A co-founder would be the one to tell you "What the hell is a picodollar?"

Maybe I'm misinterpreting the movie, but I don't think this is correct at all. If you cut out the first and last 10 minutes of the movie, then maybe you could get the impression that it flows somewhat like this.

I have a feeling it was mostly accidental. Having a bunch of awesome people increases the likelihood of it happening, but I don't think that is a very repeatable lesson.

Ah, I found my answer. Sets are stored in both a skip list and a hash table. So the overhead is indeed high.

If that's true, I wonder why. Maybe is they are trying to get O(1) access? Storing it the 'default' way would be O(log n) which isn't bad, but might still be unacceptable.

It is true that the amount of nutrients in a smoothie is unchanged relative to the whole counterparts. However, I'm willing to bet that the blood glucose response curve of a smoothie is significantly sharper than the whole fruit alternative

Is it possible for both sides of an argument to be wrong? Yes, communication would have been nice. However, it's not like the workings of the Rails Core group is secret. You can look at the commit logs and get a feel for what's going on and

I have no science to back this up, but my gut feeling is that smoothies are like candy, and aren't actually very good for you. The act of blending everything takes all the work out of it, and now there's just a bunch of sugars for your body

I usually go to bed around 1 and wake at 8:30 to get in to work before 10.

What the hell is up with this thread? This has to be the worst thread I've ever seen at HN. You'd think this were a comment thread on Fox News or something. People: Chill the fuck out. The IRS is accepting comments on the issue. The rule do

As for getting paid for small jobs and paying people for small jobs, if you paid the person more than $600 in a tax year, you should have already been giving/receiving 1099s. The only difference with the new rule is that you'd have to give

Wow. Jump to conclusions without evidence? Sign me up! More likely it was an attempt to close a perceived tax loophole without understanding of the cost of compliance. I have no doubt it will get fixed before it actually goes into effect.

I believe they did ship a few dozen units out in Q1. I don't believe they lied in any of those quotes- at worst it looks like they'll miss their July 30 ship date by a week or so. That's not all that bad.

That's like wearing a helmet while walking down the street because you might accidentally fall and hit your head. Don't be an idiot in the first place and you won't have to do idiotic things to prevent damage from your idiocy.

That sounds very useful, but what's the price? I doubt it will catch on if it is $10 per "battery".

I thought this was a terrible idea at first, because a significant portion of television viewing time is spent at night time. However, if the cells were on the front of the remote and were good enough that they could power it based upon onl

If you can't turn off that top toolbar, it's a no-go for me from the start. Using up ~10% of extremely valuable real estate for buttons that you should have memorized the keyboard shortcuts for? No thanks. In general it appears to be very w

Same here. I got a Merkur HD about 6 months ago. The initial investment is a bit high, but I wouldn't be surprised if it has already paid off. The blades I got are ~$0.25 each, and last about 1-2 months if cared for. More than that, though,

Also, re: tuning parameters. You can use them, in some circumstances. For tokyo in particular, it assumes tch. It'd be a 1-2 line fix to add in support for tcb or tcf. I don't know enough about Tokyo to test it, however. Also, you can use t

It turns out the code used the Redis native expiration, but it wasn't compatible with Redis 2.x. So I fixed both problems. I sent a pull request. We'll see if it makes it into main. http://github.com/subwindow/moneta As a side note, the l

That was my first thought as well. The expire/expireat commands are one of the main reasons why I chose Redis. I'm honestly not sure why wycats would make that statement. It's not like the interface for expiration is particularly opaque.

That was my first thought as well. From Amazon's point of view, this is very much "Not cool, dude." I'm not sure at what point it becomes a legal issue, but it is definitely a dickish move.

Not knowing much about OS design, is there any inherent reason why operating systems built on microkernels seem to be so unsuccessful? They always seem really elegant, but are never widely adopted (with the possible exception of Mach ->
