I have an account with no friends and that is an admin of one page, which I buy ads for. It’s not my real name, but obviously has my real CC info in there.
Interestingly, a friend showed me his contact list entry for me (I believe created through a 3rd party OSX app), and in the Facebook field it had the name used on the admin/ads account I have. Given I don’t use my real email address on the Facebook account I am amazed (but not particularly surprised) that the connection was made.
This movement is the output of a combined R&D lab for LVMH watch brands (Tag, Zenith, Hublot, Bulgari). So the movement will likely to be rolled out to watches by all of those brands.
It doesn’t clearly show the mainspring, however at around 10:45 you can see the small gear spinning. That is being driven by the mainspring, and if you removed the escapement it would spin super quick until the mainspring was unwound.
It’s the constant rocking back and forth of the regulator that limits the speed that small gear (called the escape wheel) can rotate, therefore limiting how quickly the mainspring releases it’s energy.
So many publishers still have such a long way to go in working out how to do native content well.
While the study is interesting, I reckon that piece took Matt Yglesias (an otherwise great writer) all of about 10 minutes to write. And the token "make sure to save enough, own stocks for the long term, and stick to passive strategies rather than trying to beat the market." is just awkward.
My initial reaction was dismay that Google seemingly didn't consult any decent auto designers on this. But then I wonder if that's actually fine.
My kids will likely be baffled by the idea that we attached so much of our own identity to our cars. The financial investment in cars to make a statement about ourselves (over and above getting us from A to B) is immensely irrational.
With self driving cars ownership will likely disappear, and be replaced with time sharing. At that point the connection between our view of ourselves, and the car we ride in disappears.
I'm not sure that completely excuses the lack of modern car aesthetic here, but it could go some way to explaining it.
> Sliced democratizes access to hedge funds. Even though hedge funds have outperformed S&P 500 over the past decade, very few investors have access to them.
Hedge Funds on average do not outperform market indices such as S&P 500. I'm curious as to whether this was TechCrunch's take on the problem, or the startup's?
This is so great. I have a text file named "1000 Things" that I update weekly. The file has headings "I am an aspiring ____", and I list the things I did that week to move closer to that goal, counting down from 1000.
So my questions...Is it possible to load up a bunch of existing data in to the app? And would there be a way to implement a count of the achievements for each category?
Also I'm sure you'd track this, but from an audience-of-one I can say this is great content marketing! I've used SendGrid previously on a few side projects, and will now definitely be checking out your service.
I'm so glad someone asked this. I'm originally an industrial designer, and ended up in advertising. I spent ten years in advertising, and recently resigned to take a step back and work out what's next. I can code, but I'm definitely not a professional dev.
I've been reading HN for around 5 years. I'm here because I love technology, and love seeing what people are doing with it. Outside a few email lists and Twitter, there's no other site/source that I've stuck with for so long.
What do I get out of it? Aside from always learning new things (I have very little use for lambda calculus or univariate linear regression in my life, yet because of HN I know a lot about both). I spend a lot of my time now working with / mentoring / investing in Melbourne-based startups, and the comments and links I read on HN give me perspectives and thinking and experiences from a global startup community that I wouldn't always have access to.
Of course those opinions and perspectives and experiences are almost always skewed, this place is a filter bubble, but if you keep the bias in mind it's a phenomenally efficient filter of quality information and thinking.
These are great. I'm a week off shipping a product that is primarily delivered via email, to C-suite'ers. Most of these people check all email on their phone, so these are an amazing help in shipping the MVP.
Great project. I'm definitely going to give it a shot as a Raspberry Pi hosted thing.
One comment on the site though - it would be really cool to be able to see a demo. I get a good vibe from the description/images, but a demo site would be great.
Load the data into the js however you want, then use the update method on the chart. D3 is pretty quick rendering, so it's about as useful real-time as you're going to see in the browser.
I've just finished up a project using NVD3, and at first glance this looks like a slightly simpler option. This is a good thing - NVD3 has become complex to the point where I would recommend someone to just learn D3 rather than use a reusable library.
Epoch appears to be a good alternative for people who just want to quickly build charts for today's web. Great work.
I was messaged by a local business owner, asking if I'd be interested in putting his product in my listing photos, mentioning the business in the listing, and also in my "welcome to the apartment" notes for visitors.
Next time I was in his shop I told him I really don't rent the place out enough for it to be worthwhile, but asked him how the response from other people he messaged was. He said one woman was really angry in her message back, and a few others took him up on the offer. To be honest the ROI for him wouldn't be great, especially given many of the customers from AirBnB won't be returning.
If it is against AirBnB's terms and they take issue with it I can only imagine the irony-laden field day the media would have.
Reminds me of my first Raspberry Pi. It was from the first batch, and only worked if I gave it a blast with a hairdryer. Once it warmed up it booted fine, but if I turned off the hairdryer it would turn off after about 30 seconds.
At the time it was about a month wait for a new one to arrive, so I did a lot of initial Pi discovery with a hairdryer.
Very cool. This has been on my sparklist[1] for quite a while. I'll be installing on a Pi tonight, but from the documentations it looks very well executed. Awesome work!
