Pro Cleanse Gold
If you like the notion of Pro Cleanse Gold you'll like the hypothesis of colon cleansing too. They moved this to a residential location. That's so hot I'm sweatin' to the oldies. I have not been convinced that these colon cleansing questions are interesting and irrelevant. That is the latest wisdom I have on that happenstance. You don't have to cut off your nose to spite your face. If you aren't careful your Pro Cleanse Gold will go down a rat hole. Although, "Lightning never strikes twice." or take it or leave it. There you have it. God helps them that help themselves. I opened with that strategy. That's exactly what you need. It is heavy. Now if I can just figure out what to do with this.
Polynomial doesn't mean "easy".

O(n^10000) is polynomial but really not easy.

Concepts like compound interest and tax calculation based on a known rate are based on straight mathematics, not politics. The only thing different between now and then is the starting figures you enter in the calcuator.
Spying On Competition Using Social Media
This is a pretty interesting idea. I actually saw it discussed in the Norwegian popular financial magazine Your Money (Dine Penger) last year. In this instance, the relevant point was that Norway already has a sort of de facto basic income system. It's called "uførepensjon" (a rough translation would be "pension for those unfit to work"). It consists of approximately 23,000 pre-tax US dollars per year, and it's where you end up if you are sick, disabled or otherwise unable to acquire a decent job over a period of a few years; basically if you have received unemployment benefits for years and all attempts by the bureucratic system to get you back into the workforce have failed.

Approximately 7% of all Norwegians currently receive these payments. The author of the article in question suggested a system of gradual negative taxation for very low wages, so if you earn less than 23000 USD per year at your current job, the missing part will be paid to you by the government. The line of reasoning is that most people will not be happy without more money than this, and hence will work normally.

I'm not sure if even Norway is rich enough to support a system like this on a full scale, and taxation in the US is _definitely_ not harsh enough to do it, even with the amount adjusted to GDP per capita. But it would be nice if we someday ended up rich enough that extreme poverty could be eliminated in this way. None of the people covered by this system have to starve, and all health payments are also handled through the official system.
Now that I got why Faith in Mirror's Edge had that painting on her face.
Yes. This intro (and the whole site) gives a good overview of what a Primal diet entails:

The conclusion might seem to be that prizes harm science.

Which sucks, but intermediate results are important for science as a whole; if there's significant financial reason to withhold them, we're no better than the alchemists.

> Web developers are happy, but all the other platform hackers are sad, flash, silverlight, and Objective-C folk to name a few.

Why does HTML5 make "Objective-C folk" sad?

Obviously, Objective-C means Apple, and Apple's total control of their platforms might be thwarted by the kind of functionality enabled by HTML5. However, that does not seem to have anything to do with Objective-C per se.

Does it?
>>This is what makes games fun. Looting and losing loot is an essential and fundamental gameplay element which has been disappearing ever since Everquest(imagine WOW with prepatch UO rules) due to catering to crying and whining.

Hell yes. I play WoW in a moderately successful raiding guild (very roughly rank #250 worldwide), so a lot of the people that I play with played various MMOs and other various competitive games over the years, but they all act like I'm crazy when I bring up Runescape as a game that did some things right.

I played RS for a year or so when I was 15 (feels forever ago now, just turned 21). The game is totally different now than it used to be, but at the time the risk/reward aspects of RS Pking, dueling, and full scale clan wars made the game amazingly fun at the time. Now don't get me wrong, in retrospect the game was bad. Lots of the good things about the game came out of the player community, lots of the good things about the game were later nerfed or removed altogether, and last but certainly not least the gameplay itself was awful. Despite all this the risk aspect of dueling someone for a million gold or a rare item, or pking someone in the wilderness and taking their armor, or to encounter a 10-15 person group while roving as a 30 person clan in the deep wilderness and then finding out they were luring to another 30+ people just a little bit away was epic and a ton of fun.

WoW isn't really much better. The general gameplay in WoW is actually good and PvE in WoW can be really excellent, but there is no risk in anything, class balance is always a touchy subject , server communities are generally not big or if they are big they are usually horribly imbalanced to one faction, game lag is a problem when that ugly first M in MMO rears its head (for certain definitions of massive, 200 players in combat in the same place is near server crashing in WoW), and million other things are wrong with the game.

Long comment long, suffice it to say the "real" aspects of Eve are probably the most intriguing aspect of the game to me.
AFAIK the thinking is that if P=NP then we might be able to automate the creation of theorems because we'd be able to take a problem who's solution is known to be quickly verifiable and because we know it's therefore quickly solvable we might be able to automatically develop the theorem that solves it. So his proof suggests that human creativity can't be automated.

Lawyers who enter into business dealings with their clients have a duty, re-iterated by the ABA Standing Committee on Ethics and Professional Responsibility in a July 2000 report specifically about this topic, to ensure that their clients are notified of potential conflicts and encouraged to seek independent counsel.

If you trust your lawyer, you should expect him to handle such circumstances appropriately; and you should be prepared to seek independent counsel when he advises you to do so.

If you don't trust your lawyer, you should find a different lawyer. A bad lawyer can cause lots of problems for you whether he has invested in your company or not.
> Other house prices presumably fell along with yours so you can still sell yours and buy a similar one.

Not if the house lost more value than your down payment. If you're underwater (and a lot of people are), you need to either arrange a short sale or bring money to the close. Either way it's nowhere near as easy as you imply.
Had the same issues as you. Working from Cherry Street Coffee shop for a few weeks got old.

I'm currently working out of Office Nomads (just started 2 weeks ago). It's a pretty good atmosphere, I recommend it.

Gmail as a web app is pretty awful. Web apps have improved somewhat, but in general they suck a lot compared to native apps.

Web developers want the web to take over from apps, in spite of the fact that the market has CLEARLY chosen native apps over web apps. Web apps had a year and they gained no traction. Compare that to the native apps traction: huge difference. Wishing it were not so does not change that.

The future lies in native shells mixed with HTML5, and this is just for portability reasons.

Here's my diet which works very well for me:

- I prefer fish to meat

- I almost never eat red meat,

- I organize my meals to eat fish/meat only once a day
- Lots of vegetables and fruits

- No desert, no cakes, no sweetie, no ice cream, no soda, no sugar (by "no" I mean on very rare occasions)

- Very little dairy products, especially no cheese at all. Milk is ok.

- No butter, ever would it be directly or indirectly

- No alcohol

- Avoid processed food

- Little or no bread

You need to understand there's no universally good diet, depending on the individual some diet work well and some don't. What matters is to eat different stuff and of good quality.
It is the height of hubris to presume that genetic engineering can produce better results than billions of years of evolution. Tweak our genes to improve our abilities in one area and you'll end up with unintended problems in another area. Hypothetically, would you take a 20% improvement in intelligence if it came with a 50% risk of schizophrenia?

Almost all of the genetic engineering done so far has been targeted toward a single goal: improving the productivity of domesticated plants and animals for agriculture. And while it has been successful in increasing food production, it has also produced breeds / strains that that are incapable of surviving without humans. There is no free lunch in genetic engineering.

If you are hosting paid video content then you probably don't have so many people accessing your content simultaneously, so hosting it yourself is not that difficult? I rented two servers at hetzner.de a few years ago.

49 Euros per month, 5 GB of streaming included, afterwards 6,90 per TB. As a streaming server Wowza is offering great software and service, the license was less than a 1000 $. With this setup you can get away for less than a hundred Euros per month and stream 10 terrabytes from two machines and can add easily more machines, when necessary, or use AWS as a fallbacksystem for trafficspikes. Beats pure AWS-Hosting by a wide, wide margin, at least it did for us...
The problem is, the most important prize (being able to say "I found it first") is unavoidable.

18K is in the range of what YC companies receive. It's not a 'trivial amount' - it's a bunch of extra hassle that one has to think about, especially if we're talking about a couple of kids just out of college with an idea and not a lot of money.

And, at least in Italy, the 'social capital' thing means that the money has to go into the company somehow - you can't just borrow it and then give it back to the bank the next day.
I would consider WoW, EQ, and others(Perfect World), economic successes of course. It depends what do you want to create: shareholder value or a great game. Perhaps there is a middle ground!

Believe me when I say we are at the cusp of such online worlds. UO is still online. Guess how many years! But, how much profit is enough? When I "escape," I can/'t help but expect the basic rules of property and ownership to entail the possibility such property to be stolen or taken! (I would rather be subject to such in a game, rather than real-life of course.) What is the root of your escape? How do you need to do so? To me, giving real life attributes to a game allows people to choose different paths than they normally would which provides that escape you deem important. "Immersion" is of course the goal however.

Personally, I don't even like character level-ups. I much preferred UO's skill based numerics. I didn't even mind Stat-loss era when, if you died as a PK, you would be penalized 20% of your skills when it was heavily weighed at the higher end(it took just as long to get from 80 to 90 magery as 99 to 100.)
Start by trying to identify some foods that are clearly good for you and increase how much you eat them. EX, oatmeal - fantastic food, almost universally agreed to be healthy, and has no real potential downsides. Then find foods that are clearly bad for you and decrease how much you eat them. EX, Coca-Cola - pretty much no micronutritional value, all you're getting is sugars and bad stuff.

That's the way forwards. There's some disagreement on certain places, but definitely increase clearly good foods while reducing clearly bad foods, and that'll be a good start.

I think online learning will grow as a valid option, but i don't think it will ever replace traditional universities.

The University experience for many (in my opinion most) is more than just learning, it's also about social networking, activities, etc ...

Most people still meet in coffee shops, club and sports clubs not in chat rooms
I use both (plus Netbeans occasionally). I wish Textmate had vim mode (I got vim plugin for Netbeans).
I can confirm that this setup has legs, long-term. I've been using my mice that way for over a decade now, after accidentally stumbling onto it.

A good cordless mouse makes this configuration much more convenient (I'm still using an aging Logitech G7, for example).

Curious, do you write left handed? I do, and so does the only other person I know of that uses this setup.
Yeaaah... I've got a 2010 MBP 13' and steam there sucks. Everything is slow and takes ages to load, I had to install windows.

Edit: also not just graphics, for example Europa Universalis III, it took a couple of minutes to *loadé on my 2004 windows xp PC. Now on this MBP with OsX it takes like 10 minutes.
If you owe more than the house is worth then theoretically you should default and walk away. I know that question has been debated endlessly and I don't understand all the practical implications like what it means for your credit rating, or even whether it should be considered ethical.

I concede that if defaulting is not an option then you may be stuck if you owe more than the value of the house and can't borrow more money. Good point.

Does my two-year-old daughter remember the womb?
My mom once read a theory that very young children can sometimes remember the birth experiences, or even living in the womb, so when my younger brother was about one, she asked him if he remembered being born. He didn't say anything, but what he did astounded us: He raised each of his arms and used his palms to press hard against both sides of his head, straining to squeeze his skull! It seemed like his was trying to show us what it was like to be squeezed from the birth canal.

Fast Forward about twenty years. Last night my two-year-old was afraid so my wife and I let her sleep in our bed with us. After I woke up this morning I heard her quietly wispering to herself, over and over: "siss-SAW siss-SAW, siss-SAW sissSAW".

I listened for a long time, thinking she was probably 'talking' in her sleep, and finally quietly asked what she was saying, in case she wasn't asleep.

She wasn't. She looked over at me and smiled. "Siss-SAW."

"Sister?"

"Siss-SAW."

We went back-and-forth like that a couple times. I realised I didn't understand what she was saying, which is not uncommon, though her speech is getting clearer - she's almost three. I decided to try a different angle, "Where did you hear that?

"Outside," she said first, and then she said, "when I was a baby in mommy's heart." I asked her if she meant she'd heard that sound before she was born, when she was living inside mommy's tummy (inaccurate, I know). She said yes.

It hit me. That siss-SAW sound was like the swishy sound a beating heart makes. You hear it coming out of the speakers of a heart monitor. We usually think "thump thump", but that is more a description of how a heartbeat feels than how it sounds. Was my daughter just telling me what I wanted to hear, or was she waking up this morning reminiscing about her mother's heartbeat from inside the womb?
Aside from quality of education debate, the migration toward online education will not get any traction until companies recognize online degrees as equivalent to brick and mortar degrees. I doubt that will happen within five years. I have no plans to make my kids the test subjects in this experiment, and I doubt many other parents will advise their kids against a brick and mortar degree if they can afford one.
By the looks of it!

I used to be in Sniggerdly / Pandemic Legion but I havent't played for more than a year now. Even during the last year that I was a member I played less than I was coding corporation and alliance tools against the then new EVE API.
What about ireland and england LTDs? They're pretty cheap.

And 6k euros for "2 guys and an idea in a garage" can be a lot of money.

Agree for mentality, people might want stability.

Corruption no, here in the north there's almost none - that I heard of, at least.
And if you aren't selling to the government how is that a problem anyway? You only need an internet connection
Lawyers will have many opportunities to subtlety shift a discussion one way or another - in fact, they might not even realize they're doing it. You are right to be concerned about subtle and systematic tilt in their perspective, and I would definitely not write off your concerns as moot because of any code of ethics. Only in interview questions are there truth-tellers and liars; the rest of the world operates in shades of gray.

But you shouldn't worry about this one too much, although not for happy reasons. Any $25k your lawyer may invest in the deal will be a drop in the bucked compared to another, much more influential bias: a VC can do a lot more for a lawyer's business and reputation than a typical founder. Entrepreneurs may found multiple companies and have big networks, but VCs go through lawyer-hours like fast food fries. They simply hire or influence so much legal business (directly or through portfolio companies) that company counsel is already tilted as far towards the A as they can go.

So I say - let em in. Make it official. At least now they have to tell you when a conflict emerges.

The Personality Paradox: the proper way to measure and define human personality
This is an interesting article but one thing I don't yet understand (which may become clear in part 2) is why both Nginx and Varnish are needed. Nginx can certainly do this on its own, and as far as I know, so can Varnish which has been designed to handle slow backends.
Note that the article is from someone at the Cato Institute, which is a libertarian think-tank; that it follows libertarian principles is kind of inevitable.

Despite this, I find myself agreeing with much of it: there's no such thing as a free lunch, and users are paying for "free" content and services with their personal details. It's good that more people are being made aware of this.

The obvious question is, what potentially lucrative business models involve no payment from the user but also no profiling information? I'm not sure a generally applicable one exists.
if one needs formal education to have an opinion on education, why are you talking to me? I didn't go to school either.

My point is just that school can't be the only qualifier for knowing about education- unless the point of education is to make people good at school.

>And yes he was a drop out hence his genius idea of accrediting any knowledge however it was gained. If someone has some knowledge there are other ways to prove it to others than through accreditation. We have I think enough pieces of paper which misleads people as to our ability.

I think most people agree that most certifications are garbage. However, most degrees aren't any better, when it comes to accrediting that a person has a particular skill. It's a hard problem that isn't being solved well by anyone right now.

the thing is, a college degree doesn't say anything about the ability of a person to do a particular job, and people in industry recognize this.

But the idea that you could have a certifying agency say that joe is a level 5 unix Engineer is very attractive to companies... a good certification system would make hiring people way easier.

The problem is that certification is one of those things that's easy to do badly and extremely difficult to do well.
I have 2 servers in a closet at my house. I bought them about 4 years ago for 1000 each when I had money. Each has 2TB of storage. one I use as my server, one I use for personal backup. Since I already have Internet service at my house, so running a server costs me only the electricity to run it. Having the machines in my physical possession has been a valuable learning experience. I'm not running anything critical yet, but I haven't had much downtime.

Right now I don't think I could afford to pay for managed hosting, but I have to pay my electric bill right?

I have been pleased with the results so far, especially as what I have been working on involves moving many large files around on my internal network, storing and retrieving them with the system I am building. it is useful to me to test what I am doing without needing to go outside my network.

That given, when I get the system in a state to go live I know I will need to work up to hundreds of servers to handle the scale of the thing. When that happens I will use whatever is best for that situation, most likely many distributed dedicated machines, but for now what I have works.

Banks are pretty happy to let you borrow against your house. They're not likely to do so as easily with other investments. Means you can try to have your cake and eat it too if you're clever . . and perhaps a bit lucky too.
