Sure, if all the product have a picture, go for it. Most menu however will only have pictures for "featured items". Featured items are not items that have the greatest value for you. They are the items that has the greatest value for the restaurant.

As for profit margins, what I meant is that a recipe with a fancy name is often sold at double the price of everything else while being dead simple to make and uses simple inexpensive products.

Thai food is a great example. I used to pay, let's say, $20 for something that seemed exotic and complex to me. I went with an asian friend at the very same restaurant and he laughed at me for taking this meal at this price.

To him, it was the equivalent of "meat and potatoes". Cheap, inexpensive, fast to make.

He recommended I try the "chicken rice" (no fancy description). Well, turn out the chicken rice uses the same spices as the meal I was paying premium for, had a bigger quantity and even had some other ingredient that to me, were just as fancy and exotic. The "chicken rice" is about $8 cheaper than what I used to take AND I now have enough to bring some home to eat at launch the next day if I want.

(Don't pay attention to the exact prices, I can't remember what it was.)
will is probably referring to version control/change tracking, and not to "security".
People should have a reasonable expectation of privacy in society and this seems to go directly against the grain of that belief.
Yeah. That seemed attractive to me because I'm building a medium-sized app pretty much in isolation. But it's invitation only.
There is in Iceland. As Vikings used to be active slavers a lot of women from northern France and the British isles ended up there. Partially due to the fact that Vikings, the raiders from Scandinavia and not all Scandinavians, were male dominated. Up to this day women in Iceland have a large degree of DNA from tjose regions, while men are as close to pure blood Vikings as you can probably be.

One of the things discovered in the grnomr sequencing project that was conductef in Iceland.
It might just be an artefact of dying or catastrophic emergency that has nothing to do with evolutionary pressure.
This was my telephone life with my Dad for thirty years, all of his later life and almost two thirds of my life, even well into his dementia (because his memories of his professional career were really untouched by it).

After only one month I already miss it enormously.

I am very glad you find these calls rewarding and I am certain she does too. I am going to have to find someone to fill this role in my own life again.
Looks like Android needs a curated distribution, the Ubuntu of smartphones.

Wait, why isn't Canonical already on this?
I'm curious how much WoW he actually played. It seems like he mostly disappeared for a five year period, though maybe he was doing other stuff.
Working on it now, someone infiltrated some dirty code, patching it now.
For another example, Redis uses much less memory per key when compiled for 32-bits.
Doh! Sometimes the obvious is staring you in the face... I'll try it and see
i've said this for years to my friends and family and it is comforting to see this come up again and again on the internet. running a guild in warcraft is a great stepping stone for aspiring leaders and Joi does a good job in the article pointing out some specific reasons why warcraft gave him good experience in this area. i think of it as a spark that started the fire. beyond that, i wouldn't give it too much credit.
I did dare. I'm in, but it took getting very scared looking at a black command prompt with no gui. Doing "sudo apt-get remove flgrx" (to reset the graphics settings) did the trick. After a couple of restarts I was in.
I found it not too troublesome to earn between $2,000 and $3,000 a month. By Polish standards (even after tax) that's really not bad, but I realise it might not be that great in, say, London or New York.
It is favorable for the recruiter because they know you aren't out there looking for a job 24/7 while they are trying to sell you. It also means you employment history has no gaps.
Please tell us how you plan on moving 700 EBS volumes to something completely different. It sounds amazing.
You made Google App Engine managers cry once: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2009/07/06/dziuba_google_app_en...

Some people have trouble viewing images at the PTO site. Here's a copy as a PDF: http://www.scribd.com/doc/53561493/Pat-5893120

This was generated by the excellent site pat2pdf.org, which I highly recommend for those who want convenient copies of patents.
Since the failure of Wave, does it seem to anyone else the Google has been copying rather than innovating nowadays?
Buzz was a copy of Twitter, this is a copy of Groupon, +1 is a copy of Facebook's like button etc...

I'd like to see more innovation and less parroting coming out of them. I don't want my search results to be social - I want them to be relevant and spam free. If they really feel like going "social" is the way to deliver those results, then cool - go with it - but don't just copy what another company is doing. Personally I feel like they're good at algorithmic and engineering solutions to problems and not good at social - why not stick with what you excel at?
My fault, I was using http://heroku.com/status.

Thanks for the link.
For some reason I pictured a bunch of sysadmins at a cocktail party with their phones turned off swapping business cards. Then I read the article.
if you don't mind me asking, what package are you using on prgmr.com and the level of traffic it handles.

I'm using the 1GB offer. This is something that I may blog about briefly, so far it's running TweetingMachine and a couple of other tools, and has supported the Hacker News traffic decently as well. That's most likely thanks to me using nginx and w3 total cache on the Wordpress blog. That said, if someone really wanted to DDOS me, it wouldn't take much for it to fall over ;)
The jury dismissed Google's invalidity defense. This is a case where re-examination might be better. A lot of juries simply may not feel comfortable overturning the PTO, even with a lower standard of proof.
At my last job, I ate my lunch 2-3 hours earlier than everyone else, thanks to dietary issues and the fact that I started work 3 hours earlier than they did. That meant I always ate alone.

But everyone else tended to bunch together. (The boss actually vetoed that, requiring that at least 1 person remain in the tech room. (Which was me, obviously.) After the team grew, it became '3' for the requirement.) They would all have lunch together, going somewhere they decided on, or playing pool upstairs in the breakroom.

It was obviously something that was strengthening them as a team, and despite my anti-social tendencies, I really wanted to join them.

I don't doubt for a minute that Joel is on the money with this issue.
That's awesome. I don't think Lego are likely to approve though. There was an awesome looking project to do a Rolls-Royce UltraFan Jet Engine that was rejected a few years ago https://ideas.lego.com/projects/f18a11c6-f704-4827-b06a-fba8...
True, but a good Friend to Friend darknet cannot be stopped as long as there is a network to run it on.
Even there, it tends to just be a twitter feed.
Google's gtest (and gmock) is a wonderful piece of C++ code. It needs very small amount boilerplate, less than most junit based frameworks (which is amazing, given this C++ that we are talking about) and great mocking abilities (for C++). I don't see how this CATCH can match it anytime soon. Headers-only approach is interesting but can be bad for compilation performance, which is very very important when projects grow in size.
I think the greater damage is what Microsoft lost by being fixated on search for so long. They went to where the puck is not to where it was going. Because of that, they now face the same situation in mobile.

In other words they've become reactionary instead of being innovative.
There are many paid VPN services available to those who have credit cards. These VPN services are based outside China. But this is quite expensive for most Chinese people to use.

The reason Tor isn't used in China is that most of the bridge relay IP addresses are blacklisted by Chinese ISP's and net-cops. Now the list of bridge relays are not public, but China has enough man power(working full time I might add) to get ahold of nearly all the ip's and block them.

Actually it wouldn't be too difficult to automate this at all.

Knowlege to circumvent the wall is available, it's the resources to do so that are lacking.

I2P currently is too small to show up on the Chinese governments radar. Apart from this I don't know how I2P gets the ip's of the darknet node. The only guaranteed way to be safe is to have a Freind to Friend network, with absolutely no public connection nodes.
I once built an online dish ordering website with interface similar to digg and reddit. It showed dishes in your area sorted by the number of times they have been ordered online. I still host a short video demo of the site: http://video.eatlista.pl/ (it's in Polish language, but still, could be inspiring for someone).

Anyway I ditched the idea after talking to restaurant owners, they were mostly older people, having hard time grasping the concept of the site (and even the Internet itself) and I didn't enjoy the idea of educating them.
The assumptions of this piece of software are ridiculous. What if you are in a train, or bus, taxi or in a car but someone else is driving? If you are moving faster than 10mph doesn't mean that you are driving...

datawalke,

I haven't gotten a chance to read some of the other replies yet, but here is the brass tax: Your time at this company is done.

You know it is too; the language of your post says so.

For more clarification:
1. Your "boss" (I put that in quotes because no one needs to be your boss and he sounds like a tool) will never give you more money and will not care if you step out on the company.

2. Your "boss" WILL likely threaten you when you go to say you are leaving; ignore it. Tell him that is "unfortunate" and then leave. Give a proper notice, like 2-4 weeks to avoid any nasty claims. Please note that he will make those last 2-4 weeks as unpleasant as possible for you.

3. Move on. You have developed an amazing skill set, both from the tech side as well as the business side. Seeing and knowing a startup can succeed from the ground up like this.

You don't have so much time on this planet that you need to waste it. This guy is never going to "get better" or change, just step forward and leave this nonsense behind.

Forget the money, forget the bad feelings. Just push forward.

Interesting points and well-written. The title given is certainly misleading.

Quite honestly I don't think I've ever experienced this feeling. I have been the "limerent object" as a teenager, though. It felt simply horrible that someone was intrusively obsessing about me for years, seemingly with no regard for how I actually felt about it.

For a long time afterwards, I was convinced that "love" is a socially acceptable front for something entirely selfish which has nothing to do with communication or compassion.
"Mr. Wolfe is in the middle of a fit. It's complicated. There's a fireplace in the front room, but it's never lit because he hates open fires. He says they stultify mental processes. But it's lit now because he's using it. He's seated in front of it, on a chair too small for him, tearing sheets out of a book and burning them. The book is the new edition, the third edition, of Webster's New International Dictionary, Unabridged, published by the G. & C. Merriam Company of Springfield, Massachusetts. He considers it subversive because it threatens the integrity of the English language. In the past week he has given me a thousand examples of its crimes. He says it is a deliberate attempt to murder the — I beg your pardon. I describe the situation at length because he told me to bring you in there, and it will be bad."
The others are right, you will never get enough equity from this guys to equal anything.

He'll give you 10k shares at 10 cents apiece and then want you to shut your mouth about it. Which is great, if the company is sold for $100,000,000 -- but it won't be, and he will continue to pay you less than 16 year old make at In n' Out burger and drive you into the ground as a penalty for holding his feet to the fire.

People that value other people, would have never had you in this position in the first place. He doesn't, walk away.
Partly, but I think the biggest method is that the currency isn't freely traded, e.g. see the end of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Renminbi#Managed_Float

Individuals can only exchange $50,000 per year and $500 per day.
I think that Joel Spolsky did put it into better words, and covered the topic more in depth:

http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/fog0000000020.html

'It seems to make a lot of sense: 80% of the people use 20% of the features. So you convince yourself that you only need to implement 20% of the features, and you can still sell 80% as many copies. [...] Unfortunately, it's never the same 20%. Everybody uses a different set of features. [...] When you start marketing your "lite" product, and you tell people, "hey, it's lite, only 1MB," they tend to be very happy, then they ask you if it has their crucial feature, and it doesn't, so they don't buy your product.'
I probably should have pointed it out. I've added a footnote.

Writing blog posts like these is a balancing act. On the one hand, I want to keep it short and stick to the point I'm making. The fact that you can get a refund is not directly related to the specific UI problem I'm describing, just like the "undo" feature in a desktop application isn't directly related to, say, mislabeled menu entries.

On the other hand, I try to write defensively. If an article is read by hundreds or thousands of people, there will inevitable be some people who feel that something they consider important was not included. I try to anticipate the most obvious criticisms or questions, and explicitly mention them preventively. But if I include all of them, the text will eventually become unreadable. I'm also writing for an audience of UI designers, who generally realize that I'm merely pointing out specific UI flaws, rather than making larger points about the products or companies I use as examples.

I probably missed the mark by not pointing out the fact that it's possible to get refunds, but I think it's not as obvious as you imply.
Right. I wasn't thinking of this as the _only_ JIT case, but one that could generate faster code by not having to do complex type tracing or inference. Seems like low hanging fruit to detect asm.js and read it directly into a typed AST.
That's a lot of Beatles fans. I wonder if Steve purchased a bunch?
It just came out a week or two ago, so it's brand new. I haven't started in on it yet (too many other things going on) but the table of contents screamed "Understand how to get past people's misconceptions/preconceived notions" which, I dunno about anyone else, but I could use all the time.
Oh this is really cool, I never heard of Driving Technical Change. I could definitely use the tips because I've been instigating some technical changes at work recently: svn to git, php to rails, big product features to independent small focused apps, etc.

EDIT: I wish we could start an HN book club, but I'm not sure how well the discussions would work virtually. I've attended and moderated a local UX design book club and gotten a lot out of it, so maybe a local HN chapter might work.

Also: HN won't let me add a reply to the bottom of this thread, maybe it's one of pg's new features to avoid flame wars?
That was advice?
Hope you like it. Ping me with you impressions if you find it interesting - practically no one's heard of this book and it's been my little secret for a year or two.
It's interesting: when I look back on my life so far, I don't feel like my path has been messed up significantly because of any particular piece of advice.

There were times in my life where acting on a particular bit of advice kept me from getting what I wanted. Those were frustrating times. But those times caused me to learn to deal with being frustrated; to stop and reflect on why I was reacting with such emotion.

There were times when the advice that I received was unclear, which made it easy for my motivation-to-follow to falter. I would waste time and not get homework done. Familiarity with a topic would grow more faint and my class performance would show it. And then I started to learn how to best use my time to learn the material. (In small groups, using multiple forms of engagement; reading/writing/speaking/listening)

The advice that, on-balance, seemed least helpful at the time:

* "such-and-such will happen when you least expect it"

* "don't ever give up"

* "don't run with scissors"

But in later reflection these lead me to different conclusions about these same items:

* The advisor understands that you're in pain, but really likes who you are when you're not moping. They're trying to help you get there, but they're not sure how.

* Admitting defeat is OK, and you can change focus (pivot) without stopping (giving up) entirely. This is a loophole. Use it.

* This has always been a good idea. Still is.

The advice I would offer would be to use advice wisely. Don't follow it blindly; reflect often, and be adaptable.
Say hi to random strangers so you can make friends (even though you're introverted and doing this makes you look like a fool)

Genuinely curious: are you saying this as a matter or philosophy or did you try this and come out of it feeling foolish and insecure? Or may be both?

I won't down vote you because I think I can relate to both sides of this. There are things I was never into that I got into after a lot of struggles and looking foolish. And there are things that I was never into that I could never feel comfortable with no matter how much I tried.

In either case, until I got out of my comfort zone I could never know what I can and cannot eventually be.

The stuff they teach in university is always way out of date, we're trying to change that and make it free to learn.

Citation please. I have a hard time believing your statement.
Even less constructive is whining about it.
Pfft. My ISP got two nastygrams from the MPAA for people riding on my open WiFi, and said on the third one they'd shut me down, so secure it immediately.

What's my recourse? Not sure I have any.
i was about to ask the same question...
It definitely is cheaper, but pan roasting coffee on a stove can take quite a bit of time, is a fire-hazard, and causes quite a bit of irritating smoke and fumes for a few days. It sure tastes good though.
Shouldn't they be using Data.ByteString instead of the standard Haskell string?

Otherwise any newbie running this code will come back crying: "it's slower than my simple python implementation" (not to mention the standard GNU tools).
if html5 video is any indication, it has to fall back to flash for browsers that don't support it, as well as encode the video in various codecs to account for different codec support (per browser)
I don't see anything wrong with specialization at all - it's just that college usually appeals to this notion of "well-roundedness", and even if it doesn't, I'd say that it might be great to try taking that weird underwater basket weaving class for shits and giggles, or an English lit class (outside of your requirements, IMO - you'll get a better experience in the classroom when you don't have a ton of people in the class trying to fill basic requirements), or whatever else.

I've personally taken a couple of film and English classes when I didn't need the credits - it doesn't help me one bit in my career, but at least it had helped me think of things in a different way than what I'm used to.
Agree completely. How much more proof could you possibly have that TechCrunch only cares about who's raised money?
Not in the paid version.
As also mentioned elsewhere, the Nexus S — which is included in Apple's suit — is completely stock Android as far as I know, so Samsung's modifications seem to be irrelevant to Apple's beef with the phones.
I checked to make sure it wasn't already April 1 again.
Why does the most expensive plan have a setup fee of $3499, while it's waived for the cheaper plans? Is it the medical billing integration?
I know all that, but the Nexus S — which is included in Apple's suit — is completely stock Android as far as I know, so Samsung's modifications seem to be irrelevant to Apple's beef with the phones.
This is why A/B testing is important.
>*nix defines hierarchical paths with a simple hierarchy rooted at "/" - in *nix's naming hierarchy, there's no way of differentiating between files and directories, etc (this isn't bad, btw, it just is).

I don't see the problem, but I guess it's just a personal preference.
I don’t believe the US economy is struggling any more than the European economy but as it does become a less desirable or respectable place it’s influence on the world will decline. It’s anecdotal, but for instance my Mexican colleagues believe Mexico could earn them a better living and more freedoms them now than living in America.
How much of this is specific to Kubernetes and how much is more accurately because you moved from managing your own VM infrastructure to using managed services? Cloud providers have (often long had) ways of saying "run this code" without managing a VM and without involving kubernetes, including with docker support. And they are often very easy to use though not without their faults. An example being Azure app service.

I do agree that kubernetes is a pleasant experience from an application developer perspective with an existing cluster, but in my experience it was not without excessive pain and long hours by those administering the cluster. A year doesn't surprise me in your case, which brings to mind this question.
You are comparing to someone paying with fiat money. For someone owning bitcoins suddenly paying with bitcoins for a Tesla becomes attractive.
One thing about reading is the ROI aspect.

Internet comments take ~5 minutes to write, 30s to read (6x ROI).

Blog posts are ~4 hours to write, 10m to read (24x).

Magazine articles are ~3 months to write, 30m to read (960x).

Books are ~5 years to write, 8h to read (1300x).

Obviously, books are one of the best reading ROIs. Now, of course, you've got to balance the book quality, your interests, the thesis, the author's biases, etc. But as a rule of thumb, books are good investments of time. I think that's why they are this 'rare alchemy'. It's not that you unlock cheat codes to life, it's that they offer some of the best kismet to doing so.

>A more englightened society that didn't pay too much attention to economy pundits working for rich people, might find a way for better revenue sharing with employees...

How would this avoid (a) and (b) though? Your society needs to somehow balance what jobs people do. There is no real way to measure how difficult a job is. You could argue that hard manual labor is a very difficult job, yet there are many people who prefer that to sitting down, learning a lot and then doing a mentally exhausting desk job. The willingness of people to do a job needs to be accounted for when you're deciding whether a job is difficult or not, but this very much depends on the person. How would you account for this without looking at how difficult it is to replace a person doing a specific job?
