I am impressed by how fast it is. Haven't run all my evals but it's surprisngly quick for creating files
Tesla buying experience is way better but the ETAs are famously off. Mine has been pushed back 4-5 times and always about 3-4 weeks before it's due to get delivered, so it's impossible to plan around.
We had a preemie baby at 26 weeks in December and feel fortunate our hospital (UCSF) practiced this recommendation. I was surprised they could do kangaroo care that fast (was a few hours after birth), but we did it then and everyday our daughter was in the ICN for 4 months. I'm convinced it made a difference and am sad when I hear about parents who can't do this.

I hope this research helps this become more standard practice.

My co-worker has them and likes them. They're basically earmuffs + audio

Re:Show HN: San Francisco MUNI Transit Delays, Visualized on Monday August 04, 2014 @01:46PM (#8133042)
Well done. This would be extremely useful in one of the mobile muni apps. I look at Transporter in the morning to know when to leave for the N, but if it had an indicator of delays, I'd know that it's time to walk/bike/uber instead.

It may be a little less, but the volume is high enough (35M+) to be fairly indicative of tomorrow's opening price.

Looks like they'll get a 4th billion dollar company with machine zone if this round closes: http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2014/07/16/newest-hit-game-maker...

They've been around for a while. Even before getting into mobile they did high end 3D platform stuff for console games like grand theft auto.
Re:Ask HN: What position should a generalist apply for? on Friday December 13, 2013 @05:03PM (#6903166)
With a technical + business background like that, I agree that product management might be a great fit, assuming you're interesting in getting away from code and focusing more on project management, specs, design, etc.

I'd also say you sound pretty ideal as a co-founder for a general web or mobile product. That's a position where a wide range of skills are useful and I'm sure there's lots of people out here who would love to talk to you.

Most enterprise apps have an SLA of at least 99.9%. If the government was an email server for example, for the month of October they'd like have to give a partial refund to their customers for the downtime.

Very useful. It'd be nice to be able to exclude certain tabs from ever being closed (like gmail) that I want to keep open.

I like the loosely follow this philosophy without it taking over my life. finding a person/source you trust a ton and buying what they say is helpful, for example thewirecutter.com

I'd like to see the comparison for -90,-60,-30,-15 days from election too.
