AI - amplified "if"s

vividmind | 7 years ago | on: This AI is bad at drawing but will try anyways

That was exactly my first thought!

Is there a similar tool for windows?

vividmind | 10 years ago | on: Show HN: The new Windria – 2-5km precision wind forecasts

Glider pilot here. The website looks awesome! Thank you for it! If you guys could add winds at higher levels, it would really be useful for all kinds of sky sailors as well.

I noticed the following sentence in Balmer's email to employees (http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/news/press/2014/feb14/02-04ma...):

I love the breadth and the diversity of all of the customers we empower, from students in the classroom to consumers to small businesses to governments to the largest enterprises.

It's interesting to see the governments standing between small businesses and large enterprises in the minds of such men.

vividmind | 12 years ago | on: Teen Reported to Police After Finding Security Hole in Website

I think it has to do with intentions. Not trying to literally map online site to a house. But in general, when a person has found a vulnerability and is trying to report it in a good will (no matter through what channel), as opposed to using it to try and blackmail, etc., things should not be reversed and used against that person.

To me this is really weird. If a neighbor knocks on your door to tell you that you forgot the keys in the keyhole outside you thank him, you don't call the police...

Moscow probably had a couple if I can recall...

Have you heard about "thermorectal decryption"?

vividmind | 13 years ago | on: Uncopyright

This is so great. Actually Leo's post "100 Ways to Have Fun with Your Kids for Free or Cheap" (http://zenhabits.net/100-ways-to-have-fun-with-your-kids-for...) has at some point inspired me to create the random kid activity picker site (http://kidactivityideas.com).

I went to Leo to inquire about permission to use that list for the site and was pleasantly surprised by that uncopyright policy. I am a big big fan of Leo Babauta and I think there a lot to learn from him (at least I do pretty often).

Thanks again great dude!

This needs an about section to show who is behind the service.

Also there are countries that have regulated economy or highly monopolized markets. In that case even if you have the money you can't use it, cause there's no stuff on the store shelves.

A title just below that article (if you scroll down) - "Facebook is a goldmine in the making"

I think they've meant -40 C.

vividmind | 13 years ago | on: Windows 8 Pro upgrade to jump from $40 to $200 on Feb. 1

That's an interesting move for a failed product. I have no plans of moving to Windows 8 at all after watching a number of reviews on youtube.

vividmind | 13 years ago | on: Chrome reporting malware on techcrunch.com?

Hopefully this is some small accident and will be fixed soon.

There will be a dip in their traffic stats today, though...
