This looked awesome, but I found it on the app store and you're charging. I don't think this is a serious enough problem for me to pay you to fix it.

This was apparently pretty typical for English law hundreds of years ago. As I understand it, wealthy people had a lot of influence over the government and were able to lobby for e…

I've taken those before and I thought this was harder.

Yeah, it's much more concrete about his consciousness ideas and definitely got me thinking about a lot of things.

I believe that Thiel is saying that the current structure of higher education, in tiers of increasing eliteness, bundled with a living and partying arrangement over an essentially-…

I'm not sure having better predictors of what businesses are good is necessarily a good idea. Part of the attraction of silicon valley is that it takes some of the risk out of tryi…

I'm sure they don't need calling. They'll be all over this...

I guess the case will get pretty bogged down in the mysterious Mt Gox happenings now.

It would be really cool if they could recognise the font (or a close match) and display the translated words in almost the same style.

As far as I can tell, most UK wire transfers are essentially immediate (at most a couple of minutes), even between different banks.

This made me cry.

You obviously have a nose for good design. Seriously though, that is awesome.

Mathematica has a few of these features. If you paste in an image from a previous operation, then the image is shown inline in the piece of code you're typing.

The median-of-medians approach is also somewhat tricky to implement (avoiding array copies and so on), although it admittedly looks neat on the slides of the algorithms lectures.

This talks about our ability to reach or describe the worst case, so if we say it's Ɵ(n^2), we're saying that we can tell that the worst case is at least quadratic, and it's also n…

Well the even-more-general point is that these problems usually aren't that interesting in real life, then.

This would be almost trivial on top of the existing Java support as well.

This might just be the Hacker News effect, but it currently seems unacceptably slow.

That scrolloff bounce is absolutely horrible on Mac.

Okay, but at least some of your assumptions are wrong. I recommend melatonin and the flux app for great sleep.

Nothing in the UK yet either.

I think the main thrust of the update is providing this ephemeral face-to-face 'meeting' of your friends throughout the day, as if you're seeing them in the corridor, just like col…

It sounds like it might be a little RSI-inducing though, having to press your finger down all the time.
