It seems similar, but try to buy from ebay/craigslist anything in a reasonable volume, clean it, test it, ship it for less.

Amazing price point. Are the computer parts refurbished? Otherwise I wonder where do you get 2GB RAM, 80GB HDD, and other older components at good prices these days? Usually, parts get cheaper as the become replaced by newer versions, but t

I am curious whether it gets more and more (legally) tricky for employees of large tech-companies to have side-projects. For example, if I am working at Google/Amazon/Microsoft. What side projects won't get me into legal prob

Looks like Seagate drives are at a very good price point for them, enough to compensate for the higher failure rates. It looks like Blackblaze managed to build a system with good fault tolerance, such that they can control the $-price/

just take len ( Proof2 ) = infinity

by udev 12y ago
I feel for the guy. At the same time one can argue that if len ( Proof1 ) < len ( Proof2 ), where Proof1 and Proof2 are of the same theorem, then Proof1 imposes less cost, and hence is more valuable, since it will be easier to teach, us

Reminds me of the movie Snowpiercer, where there is a scene with an industrial size device that creates protein bars from insects.

This would be such a nostalgia-inducing device. I used to spend countless hours playing and writing BASIC on a Soviet clone of the original ZX Spectrum. What I don't understand about this device, is whether it will allow for 2 players.

I had the same interpretation of the landing, about 10 days ago. "My guess is that Philae landed tumble-weed style, jumping, and rolling until it hit a wall, in this case, the cliff that shadows it." https://news.yco

This is an amazing documentary on several levels: cinematically beautiful, even though, you'd expect to see just people talking. inspiring subject matter - watch out for your 'feels' when you see those kids with learning disa

Went to see what is Smarterer about. Is it me or the UI of their testing product looks very much like Duolingo? Are they related?

Yes, but it does not mean that any event can or should be extrapolated into a lesson or moral.

Yep. That's rude, and doesn't actually mean that the refusing party was being productive/busy at the time. It just means "not now". There could be 100 reasons why.

by udev 12y ago
I agree with the above. Forgive me for being cynical about the whole premise. Saying no like this can also be used by people that fake being busy. The same way they always walk with a notepad and pens, and other such tricks. So Dustin said

Philae is 1km away from the original landing site. There must've been lateral velocity.

by udev 12y ago
Philae's landing is commonly represented as a vertical descent. In fact, it seems there was considerable lateral velocity. My guess is that Philae landed tumble-weed style, jumping, and rolling until it hit a wall, in this case, the cl

I wonder if it would've been worthwhile to put a flea-like mechanism on Philae to jump around the commet. Looks like in that kind of gravity pull, you don't need a lot of force to jump high, and the damage from falling is also muc

Man, the whole thing reeks! The big guys invest in Reddit -> weeks later a wedge issue is found, CEO is isolated and out -> blog post to convince the masses that this is still the good old Reddit: 'Look! Ohanian is coming back!&#

Yes, I observed the same thing. And they keep using this image for several articles.

This might be very useful for reading academic papers, because most of the time people scribble notes while reading. It's funny how having solved the battery problem (3 weeks on one charge), they still can't solve the speed proble

Numbers like 26 and 39 vacation days tell me that you are not in North America. Over here we are talking about 10-15 vacation days per year.

Watching a Tarkovsky movie is a very interesting experience. People that never did are in for a treat. All you need are good subtitles. One might say that a movie is a movie, a sequence of images, and it can't be that much different. Y

I read many post-mortems, but this one, for some reason, struck me as being very frank and unforgiving in its assessment.

I think it's because a MacBook is a high quality device, and you can install other OSes on relatively pain free. Also OSX covers the bases well, both for regular users and developers. One noteworthy group that are left out are the game

Mac Pros probably don't sell in the numbers that the Apple laptops, iPads, or iPhones sell. But it is entirely possible that Apple feels the shortage of AMD GPUs right now, which could be one of the causes for the Mac Pro not being ava

Nice implementation. One thing I don't understand. Do merchants mind being "price-compared" like this, or not? If so, do they help with content like thumbnails, API for price data, stock availability, etc? I remember some tim
