I think Google Now will do the last one for you already (location based reminders). I use it for reminding myself about things when I get to work or home. Just say "Okay google rem…

I heard during AI Class (6.034 w/Patrick Winston) that the same experiment was repeated with adults but they had to say some pre-determined words the whole time, and they regressed…

I'm a current undergrad at MIT and I still see it (and use Emacs myself). Vim and Sublime are more popular though. Vim and Sublime are probably around equal, followed by Emacs.

The areas that have been searched are very close to where they lost contact though. I would have thought they'd be looking farther away with this information.

I wonder why this data wasn't available earlier. It seems like it would have been very useful in the searches.

Unity isn't exactly "open," it's actually closed source which can be a big pain if something goes wrong. Compared to traditional game development where usually you have access to a…

Apparently it's fine in New York though. Can you somehow just buy one in New York and drive it back? It's not too far away.

Many of these are the sites sending users generated passwords which doesn't necessarily indicate that the passwords are stored in the database as plain text. It's reasonable that t…

It's probably not of much use to the NSA where breaking encryption requires precise math that will fail quickly if operations are off by 1%.

I still see a problem with his testing in that he might be connecting to a server in a different area which is less congested when he connects through his school's VPN. A proper co…

They already paid back some people at 20%, so it's impossible for them to pay you back now. They are in 'debt,' even if they just gave coins back at 1:1 they can't repay.

I've had a lot of time with the development version of the Oculus Rift, and there's more things than just that which will cause headaches/motion sickness. Many things where the eye…

Their marketing division might be shady, but they also make very solid devices. I've had my s3 for awhile and haven't felt the need to upgrade at all since it still performs super …

No it doesn't, a lot of that info is actually in my Hacker News profile, you can just click on my username. If that did scare me, then I shouldn't have that info up there, right? B…

Stallman isn't completely disconnected, I see an email from him probably every other day. He's very aware of what's happening in the world. He still has email and he can get the ne…

I don't know, I still don't mind if the NSA has access to my data if they're not allowed to share it. I accept that things that I share on the cloud/with big tech companies are pro…

I just went to the homepage on my Android device and tried with both default browser and chrome. Both correct size and the chrome one also had swipe gestures enabled. http://imgur.…

It's slow and buggy in my experience. I work on a fairly large Android project and over time it just keeps getting slower and slower. Doing things like closing/opening files of any…

Still in school, but when I visited Yahoo! Headquarters for a recruitment event everyone seemed to be in good morale. Of course it was for recruitment so they would be showing the …

EyeNetra, an MIT Media lab spin off, is looking for a full time lead Android developer as well as INTERNs. Located in Sommerville, MA. It's a lot of interesting work and we're work…

There was no difference in the calculations at 100 orbs, we just let v/c get much closer to one. The effects were actually there before 100 orbs you probably didn't notice much bec…

Our initial plans involved mushrooms that grew due to the time dilation. They were nice because they could grow straight up so we had easy time calculating past positions. We only …

The papers I read in preparation for the project and my main references: http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=234537 http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=91423 http://tobias-lib.uni-tueb…

Hmm you can try hitting the up arrow but I think that got taken out for release. Sorry!

It was considered but there are some equations that still need to be worked out. We'd need to store the history of each player but I believe we decided it could be done.
