No idea. Try going to nokia.com and then look through locations to buy from, or online stores.

I believe the Nokia C1-00 has the ability for two SIM cards (on demand, not simultaneously) and 1616 does not. Otherwise, they are the same.
the American, Italian and Mexican families appear to consume equal or greater amounts.
Yes, but video games don't necessarily encourage going out and actually doing something, as opposed to just imagining it. Not to say imagination isn't important, but imagination without action is definitely not first best.
The mainstream media will never use the word "cracker". It's much too racially loaded.
If you went to a building regularly and when there, once a week at least, your current understanding of topics was shown to be quite incomplete, at best, then how long is it really rational to continue constraining your guesses about "how" to only just those allowed by your current understanding of all the terms.

I neither said nor implied any such thing. No such meaning could be reasonably derived from my statements. I don't appreciate strawman arguments, or suggestions that I have "lost entirely" my "intellectual humility" even though my first post stated "I don't know" is not a stupid answer.
You are of course entitled to your opinion but I'm curious what is too much work about it: with the bookmarklet set up, simply click a "Read Later" bookmark to save any page you are currently viewing, and when you want to go back and view some of the pages you've saved for later, simply click your Instapaper bookmark.
I get what you are saying. I do wonder if they ever responded to that...
>And just because of the simple fact that you are human, you find yourself heir to an inherent unsatisfactoriness in life which simply will not go away. You can suppress it from your awareness for a time. You can distract yourself for hours on end, but it always comes back--usually when you least expect it.

Or you can embrace that inherent unsatisfactoriness and affect real change in the world.

>Examine each of these goals and you will find they are superficial. You want food. Why? Because I am hungry. So you are hungry, so what? Well if I eat, I won't be hungry and then I'll feel good. Ah ha! Feel good! Now there is a real item.

I'm pretty sure happiness is the superficial goal when it comes to food. Food can be a want yeah sure, but it's also a NEED.

In general I just can't abide by this sort of nihilism couched as noble anti-materialism.

If the truest expression of your philosophy leads to you sitting in a cave waiting to starve, freeze, dehydrate, or get eaten by wolves, you can just fuck off.
It's common for words to get assigned different definitions even within a general topic. It doesn't do any good to cry "foul", unless you are in editorial control of some very influential content outlet. For instance sometimes journalistic associations or the government will issue decrees on usage of controversial words.

I don't think the NY Times or the US government is going to follow your suggested guideline anytime soon. Do a "define: hacker" lookup in Google, and you will see the article uses the term "hacker" correctly according to today's parlance. And the same author and publication could also use "hacker" in terms of your preferred definition in an article on a different subject and still be widely understood.
I also wonder when will they incorporate more "social network" features into SO. I feel how it is needed...
Face paint, seriously? You might fool the software but every person that sees you will remember you forever.
If we constructed the laws of physics merely by observing the planets we could have concluded that a mass rotated around an axis will move in epicycles, which is how the pre-Copernican astronomers explained the movements of Mars. Astronomy is merely the application of experimentally determined physics here on earth to the movement of celestial bodies.
So the two biggest problems are people with problems and no suggestions, and people with problems AND suggestions? So it's just people with problems, then.

I can appreciate that you have some "demon customers" causing much grief in those two groups, but you also have the target users for your software giving you feedback on their own pain points. You don't want to lose their input, otherwise you're creating software that no one can use and tossing it into a hole.
Obie is probably right and wrong.

He's probably right about the prosecutor being a grandstanding twit with little interest in justice, but only concerned about his own political career. I've been involved in (though not a party to) two criminal cases and neither case left me with much admiration for prosecutors. I realize they are just doing their job, but it's clear their own interest are placed far above the needs of justice.

But Obie is wrong about the nature of these types of directory businesses. As a business owner, I've come in contact with these type of companies and the most gracious description of them would be "ethically challenged". While they may operate under the letter of the law, they rely upon naivete and/or lack of scrutiny. They are no better than those companies that add a charge to your phone bill and hope you don't see it.

I can understand why people are disappointed to learn that Obie has decided to associate himself with people that are involved in these types of shady businesses. I also see why people would be concerned that Obie has partnered with these kind of people in building Hashrocket.
Great site. I hope you are able to address the privacy issues brought up by the others here but otherwise I'm totally enjoying it. You might want to put in a couple of buttons to quickly share the site and/or a particular song on facebook/twitter as well.
I wonder if the scam goes deeper than you found out. I expected you to come to a head in the story where you paid the $79, and so did several other grievers. Though, I suppose that would be TOO slimy to go unnoticed.

The worst part of this is even if someone came up to replace legacy.com, they'd have a hell of a time convincing existing news papers to switch over. That, and building a new business off of newspapers, even online newspapers, seems a bit shaky right now.
One of the things that Dan touched on was that MongoDB behaves well when the working set of data exceeds available physical RAM.... Which is to say, query performance is excellent when the database is small enough to keep entirely in RAM, but when the data blows past RAM, the performance then plateaus, limited only by your disk I/O subsystem. This is preferable and familiar; there’s no massive drop (or crash) in performance, there’s only a nice plateau of response at the bound-by-disk condition.

Just curious, but anyone aware of which of the other document-based datastores (CouchDB, Tokyo etc) don't behave as sanely when the dataset size is greater than RAM size (and/or why this is)? Their "part one" article mentions that this type of behavior was a requirement for them, and that it eliminated some of these other datastores.
I'm trying to learn value investing, which means analyzing various companies (most recently, I've been looking for candidates by setting google stock screener to a strong current ratio and low-ish p/e) and then looking for advice on them to see if it matches or why it doesn't. One place for advice that my grandfather recommended is "value line" which you can probably find at the reference desk of your local decently-sized library.

The other alternative that always gets recommended is using an index fund. These will always have average performance, so you can only (reliably) beat them by being more above-average than everyone else is.
Cows are consumers... Hogs are consumers...
Consumers are commodities that are fattened until they're slaughtered!
Words have significance on both conscious and subliminal levels.

How about "Bunnies are consumers. Kittens are consumers.
Consumers are cute and fluffy!"

Actually, consumers are, umm, those who consume things. As opposed to producers.

If you've got some subliminal association between consumption and livestock, well, that's you.
Why am I not surprised a Russian is proposing a nuclear solution? I swear, Russia and nuclear goes together like peanut butter and jelly.
"Consumer" is a useful term in economics, but it has negative stereotypical meanings in everyday use.
Apparently, you didn't understand the essay or the meditation. Meditation is not nihilism or anti-materialism. I am not sure how i can explain it to you to make it clear to you. I remember from a Buddhist saying that if your glass is full, there is nothing one can do about it. You need to remove something in your glass first before you can pour anything else into it. I feel like you are full of ignorance and false assumptions about meditation. Unless you become openminded and really try to understand what meditation is, nothing is going to change your mind.
I thought the 70s were all about global cooling?

Just an FYI, VirtualBox images are not easily transferred to VMware, and vice versa.

If you're only ever on a Mac, I vote VMware Fusion, but if you're going to change vm host environments, I'd suggest VirtualBox.
It would've been very interesting to see some examples of people who've chosen to eat diets that are not the standard diet for their country. In particular, I'd like to see what vegans, raw foodists, Atkins dieters, and so on are eating.

I think the contrast between an American vegan and "Standard" American diet would be pretty interesting.
I can see that being true, but they're both composites. I don't know, the left one is what I'd call "hot", though it's not really attractive to me. The right one seems to fit "cute" much better.

It probably depends on the kid/environment.

My first attempt at programming was to write Breakout in Basic, so video games can inspire I guess (this was longer ago than I care to disclose).

But today's video games are so advanced I get the impression kids wouldn't even bother to try to write their own game because it wouldn't compare to their experience.
There was a lot of press hype about it, but global cooling wasn't widely accepted scientifically. The first paragraph of that Wikipedia article even says this.

One thing hasn't changed: the mainstream media's handling of science and technology was just as bad 40 years as it is now.

The short answer: no. The slightly longer answer: no, they can't, only the US government could do that and nobody is going to sign off on the risks associated with possible side effects of doing this.

Changing them often causes confusion (editorialising) if I misplace emphasis

You're right.

Besides I'm pretty sure most here know the distinction b/w "hackers" & "crackers".

I think that's not the problem: what annoys me is that, as it was for this article, I am expecting something very different from what I find. It took me 1/3 of the article to understand they were not talking about hackers at all. Yes, stupid me, but that's what happened :)

This is just not true. Journalism is about finding and exposing the truth, not about being impartial.
I couldn't care less about changing what hacker means to the general public. I'd just like to be able to recognize if a topic is about either hacking or security at first glance.
Ask HN: JavaScript dev environment ?
I finally decided to dive deeper in JavaScript.

Move away from simple JS and Firebug debugging. To large and more complex software for the front-end and explore the new opportunities in the back-end (Node.js and such)

What I need is not just an editor (vim will do) but rather a full environement where I can edit, run, test and debug JavaScript.

All recommendations are welcome.

Just to clarify per what was presented by both the prosecution and the defense in the case the walking fingers logo and yellow pages name are public domain. The various local phone companies engaged in the exact same business model have no more claim to them than anyone else. The only difference being that most of them were given the advantage of government subsidies and a bureaucratic pseudo monopoly blessing.
The site is very close to my site, I guess it's not too close though. Some other guy copied the WHOLE site. I hope it works out for you. WordPress? What's your sidebar plugin?

Good luck, it's a tough market.
Well, Adam, the facts are that your friends are running what can best be characterized as a shady business. Perhaps they didn't break the law, but I find it saddening to see Hashrocket folks fall over themselves to defend business practices such as these. Makes one question what kind of business-ethics Hashrocket encourages, doesn't it?

I think it's a bit much to suggest that your friend's business is just an innocent victim of an overzealous and incompetent law enforcement system. The complaint has enough facts contained in it to at least suggest that there is something shady going on. The very nature of their industry is suspect.

Defend them all you want, but consider that it only encourages people to associate the accused (and their ethics) with those with the people at Hashrocket.

Actually, it says almost everything about meditation.

I definitely recommend that you (or anyone else interested) give meditation a shot-- but I'd suggest that you find a teacher. Otherwise, it's a bit like trying to learn to swim from a book.

There are a lot of meditation centers around, and most of them don't charge money or require adherence to any doctrine whatsoever. In my experience, they are happy to have you there, and happy to show you how it's done.

That being said: as books go, Bhante G.'s is one of the best.
Writing an essay on health is wealth is common assignment
In order to write a good essay on health is wealth you need to approach the topic with a new perspective. This is easier said than done. However, with great thought to a good topic and sound research, you will be able to write an essay on health is wealth in a manner which interests the reader.
Synthetic biology will introduce a different set of building parts (DNA, RNA, and protein), methods of energy consumption (ie: photosynthesis) and something computers can't do -- reproduction. It will be a good thing to have alternatives that rely on completely different resources as technically everything is a limited resource.

That said, current synthetic biology does not strive to become an alternative to computers, but instead compete or work together with nanorobots. Perhaps something computer-like will happen once we have synthetic cells figured out and also create large artificial systems with them -- but that's a distant future, if ever, its ethics will be heavily debated.
The prosecution was asked to provide evidence that people received an invoice that had not signed up for the service. They were asked to provide a list of the businesses that complained and/or claimed fraud. They did not produce either. They just kept throwing out the same few numbers but never provided anything of substance to back up the numbers they claimed.

The old concept of meditation is not suitable for present condition. I prefer [http://www.osho.com/main.cfm?Area=Meditation&Sub1Menu=Ac... Osho Dynamic Meditation] , which is designed so well to suit real need of working people. And for people out here I think its the best choice.
There is more out there than just stocks but since your question mentions stocks explicitly, here is a practical suggestion:

Pick an index fund. Boom, you're diversified. Now, keep an eye on developments, read newspapers (I recommend FT, NYT, and Economist), something will start to tickle your fancy. When you feel like something looks interesting or resonates with you or your background, dig into it. Allocate, if you can, at least 2 full days, for example a weekend. Do on-the-side reading beforehand, gathering all sorts of material (reports, statements, articles, interviews, customer opinions, etc.), just read superficially, the goal is to get an idea and to narrow the sources down so you can do your final research in the 2 pre-allocated days. When after a while, your interest is still there or better yet growing as you find out more, and only then, pull the trigger and invest those 2 days. If you can't stomach the risk at the end of them, forget about the opportunity. If you feel good about it, pull the trigger again and take a position.

Start with a small position, shifting some of your index fund into the stock. Maintain and see how it feels to have the position "on". If it feels good, take more (long _or_ short). If it feels wrong, get out, whether you're ahead or behind.

Forget all about diversification too. Your goal is to iterate this until you have a portfolio of perhaps 4, 5, 6 positions. You are substituting "diversification" (you can't be better diversified than a broad index fund) with knowledge or insight or whatever you call it.

Just my 2 cents (har har, I know... ;)
There is a difference between quitting due to politics and design decisions. Some designs simply aren't feasible for the real world, and smart people know when they see one.

I doubt that mr. Kamen was talking about VCs on power trips.
My understanding from talking with people in the field is that BioBrick parts aren't nearly as turn-key as could be hoped. I'm sure that over the next decade or so, they'll get much better, just as computer technology did, but they aren't there yet.

"The algorithm then works backwards through the layers, adjusting weights so that the output will be the/closer to the desired output. Backpropagation itself is about a page worth of differentiation derivation, as you need to work out how much each weight affects each node."

For reference, I think that last bit may oversell it a bit, if you are familiar with multidimensional calculus, which is a required course in many computer science programs so that may not be much of a stretch. Getting all the details of backpropagation right can be a challenge, but it boils down to considering each input as a dimension, taking the local gradient of the whole thing, then adjusting the vector represented by all the weights up (or down, depending on your sign) the gradient by the "learning rate", which is nothing more than a statement of how far in the direction of the gradient you'll go.

Sadly, non-looping neural networks are actually quite boring as classifiers go, and unless someone has made a breakthrough that I haven't heard of, nobody really knows what to do with looping neural networks. (It is possible that breakthrough has been made without me hearing about it, but it is the sort of thing that my feeds really should have picked up on, it would be big nows.)

(Actually one of my personal projects someday is to fire one AI buzzword at another and see if I can't use genetic programming to write something that can train a looping network. :) )
i'm sure they thought they were right at the time

I'm sure they were scared that they might be right, hence the creation of the EPA.

It's hard to judge predictions from so long ago because they were used to influence policy. That policy then influenced what actually happened, so it's not like two independent time points. I doubt that the seas would have risen 10 feet, but if there was no EPA, not environmental movement, not push to curb CO2 emissions, etc... we would probably be in a lot worse shape.

I showed goodgecko and surveymonkey to my team today and everyone chose surveymonkey for survey. Also, none of them have used either of the product and was the first time they tried and surveymonkey surely wins there. You're entering a market that already have huge competitors and your product ain't doing anything more and probably less. You should cancel your pricing at least for the time being so people can use your product to the full potential.

I recommend that you read the book "A Random Walk Down Wallstreet" before you invest in individual stocks. The book argues that you will be better off investing in broad index funds.
Want to file personal bankruptcy
You're really going to call me close minded in defense of an essay that gets all of five paragraphs in before calling my experiences and emotions fake?

An essay that dismisses the idea that there exists people comfortable with feeling the full range of human emotions, that dismisses civilization as a whole as self deception?

And you're sure you want to defend a Buddhist by telling me he's not anti-materialistic?

Also in response to that Buddhist saying? I choose to get a bigger glass.
I guess it would be hard to make that change on a completed document where ink has already dried. I believe they used to have special rollers that would sock up fresh ink if one wanted to make a change.
