Tablet is the wrong term. In fact I fear the use of it becoming the term to use as I think it immediately prunes potential avenues of exploration. I think mobile or personal device is a better term as its really about the intent of the device, which is to be with you always. Tablet really seems to describe the form factor. I'm not convinced that the form factor is all that important.
how elevated can you expect it to be

It's circumstantial; varying by specific workout intensity, fitness level/history, genetic predispositions, among other factors. In addition to the repair time, as muscle mass increases, your body generally consumes more energy (calories). Personally, I maintained my weight while eating considerably more (c. 35%) when I played sports.

more true for weight work - I'd be surprised if you are not correct.

This understanding reflects my experiences (although I'm sure direct evidence exists too) with training, academic courses and as a college athlete.

Rule number one in online retail is looking up the vendor before you buy anything, no matter how much money you are saving. I dont see why any one should blame Google for this. Next thing you know, people are gonna want directions on google maps which others recommend as opposed to other metrics. If I got car jacked on a certain route, blame Google, it gave me directions.
"Finding a person who gives a shit about Haskell is an inherently NP-complete computer science problem. It's similar in scope and complexity to the problem of trying to find a tenured academic who didn't have the bulk of his or her work done by uncredited graduate students."
We tried to enable that and saw worse results than just letting the algorithm decide. We'll test more of this in the future.

For now you can block sites you don't want showing on your profile link.
You'll note that neither Bill Gates nor Warren Buffet is among the 20.

That particular statement may be wrong -- but it's actually unrelated to the thrust of the article. In fact with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet the author was giving examples of people who did not start with nothing. (The rest of the sentence you half-quoted: "but they were raised in affluent homes so they didn't have to worry about keeping their families fed.")

For point 1., Shift-J and Shift-K will go between the next item and load the page, so your flow would be:

Apple's aim is to make money in the same way that your aim is to reproduce before you die. It's technically true — that's what all lifeforms here for — but it obliterates a lot of important detail about you as a person.
Why would one want to use this over the VList? It provides O(1) access on average and O(log n) access in the worst case. Plus, it also does O(log n) length finding.

Also, I'd like to talk about what it does for those that don't feel like reading the GitHub.

It's almost exactly like linked lists, except for two things: one, it is less flexible, and two, it is much faster. Most of its functions work in logarithmic time whereas those of linked lists work in linear time. Other than that, it's made of the same things (cons cells), it is navigated the same way (cars and cdrs) it is sequential, so it has clearly delimited first, second, and third elements, and it nests.
The vagueness of the term "cloud" could help the cloud oligopolists. There could be hundreds of so-called clouds, with all but a few of them being brokers for the real cloud service providers. Then it would take a couple sentences to point out the situation. Not good. :(
Newsroom does... kind of. It places an icon of a designated feed on your home screen and shows how many unread items you have. It's similar to what the iPhone does for a lot of things.

Yeah, that was an "about damned time" thing. What's the word on the non-touchscreen BB's though? Are the new ones sporting a WebKit browser?
Yep, but arXiv's content is very limited, e.g. very little EE research and economics, and nonexistent social sciences.

Are you getting me any exclusive deals with these vendors?
Also note the progress of their dozens of millions of white-guy contemporaries. I think that being a white guy, even in the pre-civil-rights era, is probably not especially significant to the financial success of these people. If it were, I think many more white guys would be billionaires, right?

I'm sure what they did was easier because they were white males, but it definitely feels like a cop-out to bring that up like it was a major factor and not just another in the myriad of advantages anyone has to have to reach such financial excellence. You might as well complain that "but they all have entrepreneurial dispositions and personalities!", like their success was unfair or diminished because they had certain inclinations.

We're all born into different circumstances and we're born with different gifts; some make certain things harder and some make certain things easier. I don't see the point in whining about it all the time.
Making wikileaks.org inaccessible by default still has tremendous impact. Not that many people have the technical proficiency to use Tor, use P2P software, or even know what the hell DNS, whereas almost anyone knows how to type "wikileaks.org" into their address bar.
Yup, I agree with you entirely. It would be great, and it's absolutely trivial, anyone could do it. Off you go then, and let us know when it's done. The HN source is available for download, and while no doubt the one PG runs is slightly different I have no doubt that whatever you write can easily be integrated.

It doesn't even need to be automatic. You can just have people say "this" is the same story as "that" - amalgamate.

Shouldn't even be three days - bet you could do it in one.

That's my point. Exactly which "legal" or "legislative" powers has Lieberman wielded against Amazon? None. As far as I can tell, he's just bloviating. Senators don't lose the right to bloviate when they're elected.

Rupert Murdoch can harm Amazon's business interests in far worse ways than Joe Lieberman, and with far less accountability.

Wikileaks is putting the governments of the world naked under the scanner the same way most of us are being put under the scanner every time you take a flight.

http://www.eric.ed.gov/ERICWebPortal/search/detailmini.jsp?_...: "By 1918, all states had passed school attendance legislation, although until the 1930s, many were unsuccessful in enforcing their compulsory schooling laws."

Comparing compulsory education standards to non-compulsory education standards is unfair and unenlightening. The forces affecting the school are so different they can not be said to be the same thing except inasmuch as they share the word "schooling".

I say this as one who is carefully refraining from going any deeper because I have as rich an opinion on the topic as anyone else around here, one not friendly to current practices (to put my cards on the table), but this is a non-data-point, at least without a lot more context, so much as to dwarf this little tidbit anyhow.
That's the way I interpreted it.

It looks like RewardLevel is set up as a broker. They get publishers to install widgets on the sign up forms, that data is then passed to advertisers (the reward offerer) and RewardLevel makes a commission on the conversions at the advertisers end. I would also guess that while the advertiser may be giving out a reward to each sign up on the publisher site (discount, voucher, coupon, gift etc) they may not be paying $5 to RewardLevel each time. There's probably separate language that defines what a conversion is for the advertiser such as a signup or enrollment in service with the company providing the incentive in addition to the initial sign up on the publishers landing page. We'll have to see if Noah speaks to how advertisers sign up as it's been asked a couple of times.
That's because ST and most other shows are written by a bunch of liberal arts grads who are proud of the fact they know nothing except how to have a Pavlovian reaction about govt, capitalism, the military, science, engineering, all the stuff they wind up stating the truth on on their shows, and it is the truth because there is no public opinion only published opinion.

Not a minor point.
Merely leaking something doesn't necessarily damage security as much as publishing it and having the government confirm it as accurate. Imagine if someone leaked "Super Top Secret: You can be invisible to the M1A2 tank by wearing a hello kitty t-shirt inside-out". Without official confirmation (implied by the government officially declassifying the tech report), you wouldn't know for sure, and would attempt to test this theory, and would end up in pieces.
Ultimately 9 Justices in the Supreme Court determine that. If Gonzales v. Raich or Kelo v. City of New London are any indication I'm fairly sure they can come up with the legal gymnastics required to make these documents illegal given the current law.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gonzales_v._Raich
You're right. I've always been under the impression that dissemination of classified material is illegal as part of the Espionage Act.

But a quick jaunt over Wikipedia is inconclusive. It seems the legality of these leaks is a lot less cut and dry than I thought.
I don't agree with you, I rather think farmers would need to know how to convert things like bushels just as much as I need to know how to convert milliamps to amps. The only difference is metric is easy, so you don't need to get tested on it.
The iPhone is already the biggest camera in number of pics on Flickr. I think the camera ( non slr) switch has largely already happened..
I looked at those before posting.

Basically, the difference is that every trellis of a given length looks the same, whereas this is not the case for VLists. The trellis is also lispier. VLists are faster in a lot of cases, but they sound like they're harder for the programmer.

They are also possible to implement in every Lisp (except Clojure [1]) because you only need cons, car, cdr, and some basic arithmetic to use them. This also means you can make them do anything (except, like, push and pop in constant time) that you would ordinarily need a linked list for. I haven't done this yet, but I think they support homoiconicity.

[1] In clojure, cons takes an object and a sequence instead of an object and an object, making an implementation there a lot less elegant.

EDIT: I thought this over, and, suppose you need to store huge, huge amounts of data. Where's that first array going to be stored on the memory? It needs to be contiguous. Here, you only need two memory addresses at a time for the cons cells.

EDIT2: you have to declare a type for your array. With trellises don't. Even if you declare your array as an array of pointers, nesting is an issue.

sex.com specifically was stolen this way.

They're still really bad at this; people stole the registrar accounts for somethingawful.com and 4chan from, again, Network Solutions, via social engineering. I never heard how they specifically did it. They may even have done both on the same weekend.

That's ridiculous - you had choice - you could have chosen to work elsewhere. Can't get the same pay, conditions, etc? That's not the point.

These days there are plenty of jobs where you'll have to use a Mac because Jobs has dictated that you can only do iOS development on a (recent) Mac.
Things like http_accept, plugin details and fonts are necessary if you want to use the capabilities of the client - you need to know what they have.

I disagree rather strongly with sending things like user agent strings, plugins and fonts by default. There should be no need for a web site to know anything about either. Indeed, customising content to that degree based on specifics of the client's software identity rather than providing adaptive content seems somewhat anti-WWW to me.

Moreover, given the number of plugins with security issues widely available for some browsers, sending a list of installed plugins and versions with every HTTP request is practically begging to get malware back if you're not 100% patched up (and even if you are, if you're unlucky with a 0-day exploit).

Let me put it this way: most web sites that I've encountered actively modifying their content based on specific user agents have been places like banks, and usually the reason I know that they were doing this is because they got it wrong and consequently refused to serve perfectly good content to a browser perfectly capable of rendering it as intended because of concerns about some security flaws in browsers from another era. I'm not sure I have ever come across a web site that actively modifies the content it provides based on the browser plugins or fonts on the client system.

Providing it "optionally" doesn't seem like a solution. If you were prompted every time then most people would turn it on anyway, and any ad network site would obviously ask for everything that it could possible get.

On the contrary. I think people would very quickly tire of visiting sites whose ad networks caused such problems, and the ad networks would have to give up doing it or quality sites would drop them. Indeed, the only common uses for this kind of information today seem to be supporting user tracking or deployment of targeted malware from compromised sites. Providing the detailed information only to sites that explicitly request it and possibly only if the user's security settings permit would make life more difficult for both groups, and I have no problem with this outcome.

People had to know different things, but not necessarily a lesser quantity of information.
To me when someone makes a bad move, it's when it hurts their efforts, whether their efforts are for the greater good, or not. So unless this is hurting Amazon's bottom line or the goals of the executives, I wouldn't call it a bad move. Your comment doesn't seem to address that.

I'm chalking this one up as an evil move, but not necessarily a bad move for them.
Very intressting. Could the be used in clojure (I mean do the provid the same imutabillity concells do)

What are the benefits of these over clojure vectors?
You guys keep hitting me over the head with what's fair or what's right or going on and on about some moral outrage and how wikileaks is needed.

I keep telling you that none of that matters. Consent of the governed isn't about the best way of governing people, it's about the general agreement that things are working this way. Wikileaks has done nothing to change any of that. So it's just an attack on the government itself. Expect the government to react. That's all I saying. For every person you might convince that change is needed, you just created a hundred people wanting to throw the entire wikileaks bunch in jail.

Honestly, I agree with you that individual freedoms are at an all-time low -- in all kinds of ways. It's a travesty and a horrible thing. I'm just telling you that the emotional argument about how screwed up things are isn't going to hold much say when pitted against the way groups of people work. To them, this is an attack and a crime. Hell, it's an attack and crime to me too, and I agree with it. (The two beliefs are not mutually exclusive) Yelling about being surprised at the response here doesn't make much sense to me. You can easily see where this all is headed, and it's not a new golden age of human freedom, as much as one is needed.

Like most hosting TOSes, theirs is written so they can boot you if they find you inconvenient, without a specific violation on your part. They say they can terminate service when (among other possibly applicable points):

They would have a fair point that, even if it isn’t illegal, dealing with an investigation and bad publicity isn’t worth their time.

For what it’s worth, I certainly wish they stood up at least until they were under specific legal threat. But they never advertised themselves as a data haven.

No, it was a brilliant move on Amazon's part. Most of the populace understands wikileaks to be bad, engaged in killing soldiers, letting terrorists escape, etc. Most of the populace thinks that national secrets are a good idea. When you can lose a lot of business, be harassed by the US Senate, etc, it's probably a good idea to let a single customer go.

Yes lots of nerds and those concerned about liberty will be upset. However, when we want to make a purchase online or host some infrastructure we'll probably still use Amazon.

Yes, true, but last time I was involved it was getting pretty difficult for startup ISP's to get allocations. You pretty much had to get a temporary allocation from an existing provider until you got large enough to justify your own directly-allocated netblocks.

Anyway, I wasn't trying to get overly deep with my original post, just point out that in this case "fully allocated" is far from "no more available addresses".
