I hadn't heard that before. Where did you get that information?

Absolutely gorgeous and like everything else I’ve owned from them it will probably break if I so much as look at it crosseyed. Still this one is actually cheap enough that I might buy it anyway.

I would also really like to see that list of 40 papers.

I assumed he'd exit Tesla on a longer timeline, but his recent political shifts do make it seem like he plans to exit Tesla as quickly as possible.

It's utterly absurd that iOS on the iPhone still doesn't support Media Source Extensions.

Didn't know about this company and glad to learn about them! I was actually looking for something exactly like their PO16 recently and had some PCBs and panels fabbed to make my own (17 pots for the build I found on lines).

Nvidia has supported installing their latest cards into old Mac Pros for years now with their web driver. Nothing new. They still have no support for Apple EFI in these cards (meaning the cards have no video output during boot and install of OS updates, making them incredibly inconvenient to use in day to day work).

Pokevision stopped working because they banned the whole ec2 IP range.

What you have created is an abomination. It is a tool that can only be used to diminish and destroy.

You absolutely do get to control what goes in, and I really don't care if people use this tool only for themselves. I think you will not have seen the work in question. I think you can not have understood it the same way that someone who saw the entirety of the work can understand it, and I would consider you to be a bit silly for wasting your time.

What do you feel you gain by excising the objectionable portions of a work?

A tool to "filter" a work of art for yourself is also a tool to censor a work of art for someone else. In this case, and judging by the reactions from some parents here, most likely for your own children. So, despite the interesting framing of this as something that will create the "freedom to filter," it inevitably will be used to oppress.

Regardless, the end effect on the viewers (both willing and unwilling) is that they have not seen the work. They may in fact have a completely different understanding of the film or show than someone who actually has seen the work. A morally ambiguous character becomes wholly righteous. A villain becomes the hero. Violent acts cease to have a consequence of gore, perhaps of pain or death. Romance no longer leads to sex. Dialogue cut for swearing completely changes the perception of a character, the story, and the world.

In the end you have seen something worse than nothing at all--a cartoon caricature of what the creators intended. You have wasted your own time, perverted the aims of the artists behind the work, and done your children a disservice.

That is very much the case at some restaurants that consider food to be art. Art is different. To be able to appreciate and understand it, it's all or nothing.

I just did the same thing! I went with the 5,1 though, putting 5690s in there. I was going to buy a maxed Macbook Pro, but they didn't announce anything and I have work that needs to get done.

If you maxed out the RAM, have you thought about doing a RAM disk?

There's already a visa that does exactly that, the E-2: http://www.uscis.gov/eir/visa-guide/e-2-treaty-investor/e-2-...

Eric Chahi's work on Another World immediately came to mind as a great solo achievement while reading this. This code review written a few years ago is very good: http://fabiensanglard.net/anotherWorld_code_review/

Years in the making and the final industrial design of the thing is just a slight step up from a cardboard box. Awful foam around the headset, crummy plastic on the headbrace, flimsy open headphones, and it looks like it will still be unusable for anyone that wears glasses. I'm still grateful to Oculus for kicking off all of the interest in VR, but I doubt I'll ever be buying their devices if this is the best they can do.

I completely concur with you on her knowledge of Los Angeles, I think she is basing her entire opinion of the downtown corridor on a ten minute long drive.

The transformation of the Arts District has been truly incredible. Virtually unrecognizable from what it was 5 years ago. It's interesting how the original anchor location for that transformation, The Brewery, has been more or less ignored as development focused on the area just east of 2nd and Alameda. As restaurants like Wurstkuche, Zip, R23, and Church & State became popular, the housing developments around the area sprang up virtually overnight. It would be interesting to do a visualization of that based on liquor permit applications and construction permits, since I can't say for certain which happened first. Certainly the currently under construction aircraft carrier sized white condo complex on the edge of the river is in response to the restaurant/bar scene that has developed.

Can't say I'm a fan of Tacos por Favor. Any taco truck is better and cheaper in my book. Monte Alban on the west side is a pretty great for Oaxacan. If you must eat tacos and can make it to midtown go to El Chato for excellent tacos.

Because the very same Santa Monican NIMBYs that just passed that law have made it impossible to build more housing: http://www.santamonicanext.org/2015/05/santa-monica-city-cou...

As an aside, if anyone is looking to locate a startup in Los Angeles, do your future employees a favor and avoid Santa Monica. Downtown LA and Culver City are far more sensible options and allow for a reasonable commute and/or nearby housing at lower prices than Santa Monica.

So all manager positions have been eliminated. People that were formerly managers have the option of staying on in some nebulous capacity. For those former managers that do not want to work at a company in a nebulous capacity, they are offering a severance package. This severance package seems more like a legal maneuver to force resignations to avoid having hundreds of former managers suddenly file unemployment claims, wrongful termination suits, etc. against Zappos.

I find the language of the memo and the motivations behind it execrable. I do not believe there is anything inherently wrong with flat organizational structures and there's perhaps even some justification for using novel terminology to describe them. Valve's employee handbook is a great example of a flat org description done right. Eventually maybe Zappos will end up with a similar document. It's maybe a little harsh to judge them based on a rambling, incoherent, and cultish internal memo, but I know that I'm not inclined to work for Lead Link Grand Wizard Hsieh if this is the way he communicates.

Many fine thoughts here, but I was given pause by the statement "Etymologically, the word technology means “a better way of doing things.” I wonder where Horowitz sourced this from.

The OED doesn't have anything resembling this. Neither does etymonline. So I'm curious where this comes from.

The OED defines "technology" and offers references dating to 1615. I'll reproduce the OED's definitions here briefly:

1a: A discourse or treatise on an art or arts; the scientific study of the practical or industrial arts. 1b: Practical arts collectively. 1c: A particular practical or industrial art.

Even looking at the stem techno, you will not find anything approaching Horowitz's value judgment that he has inserted: better. Or worse for that matter. This sort of misappropriation of language is not only lazy, it's dangerous, and unfortunately it is pervasive.

I really wanted to try out the frogpad back when it was first released, but never bought one. If you handled the chording in software I imagine it wouldn't require wiring very different from what people use to make regular DIY keyboards: http://cubiq.org/build-your-very-own-pc-keyboard Given the heavy use of chording in a one handed keyboard, I'm guessing Topre keys might be a better choice than any Cherry MX variety.

Pretty neat. I still like the concept of the kindleberry a bit better though: http://maxogden.com/kindleberry-wireless.html

Very interesting, the reddit thread pretty much went through anything I could immediately think of. Was the game in English?

You could try it here too, what do you remember about it? What country were you playing it in? What were the controls? Joystick, trackball, one giant button, several buttons? What year did you first play it? Any memories at all about what the gameplay was like or the overall quality of the graphics?

Key words from the video: could, imagine, future, possibilities

Words lacking from the video: can, will, does, now, reality

Get a divorce. Quit your government contract job. Move.

I'm not sure why you were downvoted, some suburbs are exactly as you describe. Perhaps the vast majority are not like that in the US?

One supposed virtue of this ice is that it's clear, if you want to make perfectly clear ice yourself, this instructable has instructions on how you can build an insulated ice maker that will do that for a few bucks (in addition to the instructions on making a good iceball maker):

The article claims 9% of CS majors are unemployed, but the article they reference (http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/personalfinance/2013/07/...) actually states that 9% of recently graduated CS majors are unemployed. The USA Today article referred to was written in July and does not specify what they mean by "recently graduated." In any case, amazingly bad fact checking on the part of Al Jazeera.
