(He gave examples of such complementary foods in traditional diets, which I can't remember right now.)

One thing I've definitely noticed time and again is how complete traditional diets tend to be. It's amazing, thousands of years ago, with no concept at all of nutrition, people managed to put together fantastically complete (and tasty) diets.
The simplest way is to just do it.

You are fortunate that you live in the age of cloud computing. For instance, you can spend $10 for a day and get access to more compute resources than most people could hope for after months of budget proposals.

Find a problem, solve it, launch it, test it, find bottleneck, kill it. Repeat this enough times and you can start to a feel for where bottlenecks will happen and how fail happens.
Agreed - Montreal should be on the list as well

The questions it generates are all trivial with a little bit of math knowledge. Finding the roots of polynomials that are already factored. Multiplying a series of factors, the last of which is zero.
Sure, just sharing my personal experience. The pathological failure behaviour due to a software bug is not something I'd previously considered when choosing a drive.

they're playing whack the mole with a large hacker community

Large companies need to realize that they're actually engaging in asymmetric warfare when they do this. The worldwide hacker community that's aware of Sony far outnumbers the internal dev group that did their security.

What's more, Sony suffers from the typical company illusion of hiring the top 1%:

But groups of hackers on the internet have none of the friction that exists in corporations, and so are operating in a purer, less-diluted meritocracy. As a result, companies doing DRM are generally outnumbered by more qualified opponents.

The basic rule of asymmetric warfare, is that you don't take on your opponent in a head-on fair fight. That's absolutely the worst thing to do. You need to turn the situation on its head, like the IRA did. Usually, the outlaw is in the position where, "You have to beat them every time. They only have to catch you once." But the IRA had that turned on its head. They only had to get away with something "once," and the British authorities had to catch them every time.

Companies can deal with pirates, but they have to realize that they are the underdogs, not the big guy in this fight. The best thing for them to do is to figure out how to win without fighting. Failing that, they need to figure out how they can be the ones who "only have to win once."

(I've been figuring this out, and yes, it can be done.)
Same here (boostrapped, profitable). It's a great feeling, but it's annoying that people still ask if we're looking for funding.

You missed or ignored my point.

No one is saying that poor people couldn't eat healthy if they wanted to more than they wanted to feel satisfied. They're saying that given two people with the same metabolic genes, exercise level, and discount rate, if one of these two people spends ten times as much on food as the other, they will be likely to be thinner. This is because being sated with more expensive food results in eating fewer calories and better nutritionally than being sated with less expensive food, and this point has everything to do with the cheapness of carbs, fat, and sugar (which taste good no matter how prepared, essentially) relative to well-prepared meat and veggies.

Actually no - the RIGHT kind of business is good - as it means a middle class is created in those countries - and well, we can see the results. The right kind of business is in consumer goods - it's hard to have low aspirations when you are making iPhones or part of a call center helping solve first world problems.

North Korea has no trade to speak of - and no hope that its population will assert itself.
I would start by viewing it as tree structure optimization problem. Draw a tree where each node is a physical server and the root node is the domain name server. Now try to maximize throughput of random lookups while minimizing height (complexity). For each level of the tree, come up with a list of everything you can think of that might affect the traversal (processing\lookup) time when a node (server) in that level is entered. Also create a list of everything you can think of that might affect the lines (connections) between nodes. This exercise should give you a good idea of what you need to learn and help generate more specific questions.

If you walk across a minefield, you are walking into a place where there are proven to be mines in your likely path. That's a much more present danger than the mere possibility of a mine's existence. A minefield verifiably has mines, not just might have mines, and thus walking in an arbitrary path there has a measurable chance of blowing you up (and there might be some specific paths with a 0% chance of blowing you up, which are also different from the minefield in general).

In spite of this supposed huge vulnerability, nobody has ever suggested even one single patent that could potentially be read as covering anything in Google's WebM tech, much less the "minefield" that MPEG-LA try to conjure up with their vague insinuations. You'd be about as well-supported by the evidence if you claimed that God just hates WebM and will smite down anyone who uses it to encode video.

I'm not saying that WebM isn't on a patent minefield. I can't prove that negative claim. But I can say that I've never seen anyone offer any credible evidence for this minefield.
The reliability problems with the Vertex 2 make me wary of anything from OCZ. There are many, many reports of OCZ drives failing within a few days of use, some within minutes of booting up. Plus there are well-documented problems with power-saving modes.

Frankly, SSD failure rates from most manufacturers are so high it should be a scandal. Intel is the only company I'm remotely comfortable buying an SSD from right now.

There's definitely infringers in this story -- I just don't think it's him.

>That didn't happen, the individual in question embedded copyrighted videos

What's the difference between an embed and a link? It's just a semantic difference in the HTML, right? Both point to external media not hosted by him.

As I recall from what I've seen of his site, he simply embedded the justin.tv player on his pages (where he also placed ads). He would configure the justin.tv player to show various channels that he knew would be showing a particular game. Somebody else (or perhaps the same person, although if that's what the government is alleging, I haven't heard it), using a TV capture card, would encode the live video of some NCAA/NBA/NFL/whatever game and stream it to a justin.tv channel. Anyone could log into this channel via the regular justin.tv site and watch the same live video.

Channelsurfing.net just provided a quick link to a justin.tv channels that had the sports content.

So in all this, who's infringing copyright? Definitely the guy with the capture card. What about justin.tv? Maybe they're liable, or maybe they're protected by the safe haven clause. But someone linking to that content on justin.tv? No. Or even embedding the justin.tv player, pre-configured to show that particular justin.tv channel? Again, I don't think so.

The difference is that such customization is for the individual and rarely seen by others, whereas with myspace such customization was on a landing page that a lot of other people would see. It's also much less limited than the degree of awfulness you could inflict with myspace.
> it's unlikely that consumers will be willing to take a step back in video compression/quality

If mp3 is anything to go by consumers as a whole actually seem to care surprisingly little about the quality / size equation. I suspect if either 10% more bandwidth is used or video is 10% worse the vast bulk of users couldn't give a hoot for the vast bulk of video they view on the web. There might be special cases (streaming HD movies, perhaps), but we don't need the general standard for web video to cater to every special case, just be good enough and robust enough for a wide variety of common cases.
I would NEVER put calculus into required curriculum. Calculus is far less important than some simple number theory, logic, and the ability to think about abstract problems creatively. The tragedy is that we push towards calculus (which is really just advanced arithmetic until you get to, say college, real analysis) at the expense of these other skills.
So what is the thought on Btrfs? Is Oracle not contributing back with that project?

I am no Oracle fan but I'm already using Btrfs and am pleased to finally have something in the same vein as ZFS for Linux.
The poor in India and China don't eat enough to become obese, let alone gain significant weight.

Errr,why has anyone downvoted this? =s
>Pardon me, but you posted 20 comments to this discussion and your only “claim” is backed up by you saying “which it is”?

Ok then, it's not in Microsoft's best interest to keep users on IE? If you don't think the logic is plain enough to stand on its own please tell me why. How is it good for Microsoft to lose market share? That was my claim. It isn't good from their point of view for themselves to lose users. I don't think I need a citation there.

>How does anyone know it’s “best to keep them on their [old] software”?

IE8 isn't their old software. It's their current software. IE9 is the new software which hasn't been released to their users.

>If no one used IE8, would not Microsoft also be free to use newer web standards to create better, faster-loading web apps with less development time?

Their plan is to migrate to IE9 which is a good browser. This is their plan for being able to create better, faster-loading Web apps with less development time. The best part is we all benefit from this.

>What benefit to Microsoft is there having IE8 users?

Migration path to IE9. In the mean time it's better for the entire world that IE6 users become IE8 users and eventually upgrade to IE9. Literally it would be best if they were Chrome or Firefox users but let's don't get silly -- most users don't care and it's not Microsoft's job to sell those users on other people's software.
I was going to comment on the eye-tracking story in my reply to Max, but it really didn't fit there. Anyway:

If you read it, you'll notice that story didn't really lead to much beyond a cool experience impressing a couple of guys who ought to know their stuff. It didn't look like Jacques got much in the way of referrals or anything out of it.

It also didn't sound like they took much convincing. If anything, they were probably pleased as punch to show off their cool project to someone interested enough to ask about it.

As for unfamiliar code, you can probably find a terabyte of it online, and most of it probably has something, somewhere, that could be written a little better, if you want the practice. No, you won't likely have the golden experience of the author watching you work on it, but that could be as much a blessing as a curse (Or is it the other way 'round...?)

If you do want to get involved with people working on cutting-edge technology, your best bet is probably hanging around some university's engineering department. If you're nice about it, and don't get in the way a lot, they might not even chase you out! ;) Seriously, though, just go where they are, and as long as you're not intrusive, you can probably make some connections.
Very much looking to put something together. I currently have one startup effort in the ediscovery space that I am working on, but I have cycles available to explore other options, and the desire to do so.
I would see it as an additional security measure rather than an alternative.

Signed up, will give it a try on my new app.
That shows that they really understand Facebook — and with mypsace out of the way I can see how Facebook can do their own version of iTunes and have a good go at it.
or could they be http://twitter.com/carlhancock and http://twitter.com/beaufrusetta whom are supportive friends?
I wonder how scary it is to develop a product that relies entirely on having access to other companies API's? As developer unfriendly as Facebook and Twitter have been lately, is it possible that they could ever cut off access to Greplin?
If it helps, I can assure you that I found this link/company organically. I was doing market research on the wordpress-based business niche for a client and found these guys.

Improved Adblock Plus Extension For Google Chrome
I'll share my experience, which may differ from other people's. The largest system that I've worked on was Amazon S3. At the time that I worked there we were doing 100,000+ requests per second (peak), storing 100+ billion objects (aka files), and growing our stored object count by more than double every year. The most important skills for that job were distributed system theory, managing complexity, and operations. I can't explain all of these skills in depth, but I will try to give you enough pointers to learn on your own.

For distributed systems there are two main things to learn from: good papers and good deployed systems. A researcher named Leslie Lamport invented a number of key ideas such as Lamport timestamps and Byzantine failure models. Some other basic ideas include quorums for replicated data storage and the linearizability consistency model. Google has published some good papers about their systems like MapReduce, BigTable, Dapper, and Percolator. Amazon's Dynamo paper was very influential. The Facebook engineering "notes" blog also has good content. Netflix has been blogging about their move to AWS.

Every software engineer needs to manage complexity, but there are some kinds of complexity that only show up in big systems. First, your system's modules wil be running on many different machines. The most important advice I can give is to have your modules separated by very simple APIs. Joshua Bloch has written a great presentation on how to do that. Think about what happens when you do a rolling upgrade of a 1,000 node system. It might take days to complete. All the systems have to interoperate correctly during the upgrade. The fewer, simpler interactions between components the better.

The best advice I know of about operating a big distributed system is this paper[1] by James Hamilton. I won't repeat its contents, but I can tell you that every time that we didn't follow its guidelines we ended up regretting it. The other important thing is to get really good with the Unix command line. You'll need to run ad-hoc commands on many machines, slice and dice log files, etc.

How did I learn these skills? The usual mix of how people learn anything - independent study, school, and building both experimental and production systems.

Amazingly Cool Cell Phone Tricks like Opening your Car Door
Print this out and put a copy in your car and keep one at home

5 Things You Never Knew Your Cell Phone Could Do

For all the folks with cell phones. (This should be printed and kept in your car, purse, and wallet. Good information to have with you.)

There are a few things that can be done in times of grave emergencies.
Your mobile phone can actually be a life saver or an emergency tool for survival.

Check out the things that you can do with it:

FIRST (Emergency)
The Emergency Number worldwide for Mobile is 112. If you find yourself out of the coverage area of your mobile network and there is an Emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you, and interestingly, this number 112 can be dialed even if the keypad is locked. Try it out.

SECOND (Locked Keys in Car)
Have you locked your keys in the car? Does your car have remote keyless entry? This may come in handy someday. Good reason to own a cell phone:

If you lock your keys In the car and the spare keys are at home, call someone at home on their cell phone from your cell phone. Hold your cell phone about a foot from your car door and have the person at your home press the unlock button, holding it near the mobile phone on their end. Your car will unlock. Saves someone from having to drive your keys to you. Distance is no object. You could be hundreds of miles away, and if you can reach someone who has the other 'remote' for your car, you can unlock the doors (or the trunk).
Editor's Note: It works fine! We tried it out and it unlocked our car over a cell phone!'

THIRD (Hidden Battery Power)
Imagine your cell battery is very low. To activate, press the keys 3370#. Your cell phone will restart with this reserve and the instrument will show a 50% increase in battery. This reserve will get charged when you charge your cell phone next time.

FOURTH (How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?)
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following Digits on your phone:
#06# .
A 15-digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
If your phone is stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

And Finally....
FIFTH (Free Directory Service for Cells)
Cell phone companies are charging us $1.00 to $1.75 or more for 411 information calls when they don't have to. Most of us do not carry a telephone directory in our vehicle, which makes this situation even more of a problem. When you need to use the 411 information option, simply dial:
(800) FREE411 or (800) 373-3411
without incurring any charge at all. Program this into your cell phone now.
This is sponsored by McDonalds.
This is the kind of information people don't mind receiving, so pass it on to your family and friends.
I don't know, it feels like they are telling people who recognize the quality and potential of the service and who want to support them to go fuck themselves.

What about the people who want to be your voluntary missionaries and spread the word and love? Give them something to vent their appreciation with.

Even 37signals realized that Jeff Bezos had something to offer them and let him invest.

I'm not calling hubris as much as saying that there are some human resources to be used for both parties' benefit.
So, corporations with deep pockets (read Oracle) can buy the subscription through a proxy and have full access to the individual patches and full documentation. The rest of us independent and poor hackers cannot afford it and we suffer.

Yeah, good idea RedHat.

And yes, I know the GPL does not compel them to be nice.

That's interesting, because personally I find running outside boring whereas on a treadmill I can use the time & distance readouts to help me stay motivated (e.g I'll just keep going until the timer gets to the next multiple of 5 minutes... ok, now I'll keep going until the next whole kilometre... and so on). Each to their own, I guess.
Who is up for protest against Sony? This is so lousy.

It's not too scary when you're relying on APIs from several different companies, as is the case with Greplin. Startups that are reliant on a single API (or other single closed platform) seem much scarier.

That has been going on forever. I remember the days when Red Hat was shipping a "2.4" kernel that had all the features from 2.6 backported into it. They're still submitting the patches upstream, so if you want an "unobfuscated" kernel tree you can get it from Linus.
That's why I posted it to HN. I'm venting my appreciation for the boldness.
I think kmfrk is trying to ask if there are any countries where you would likely be safe from a judge turning over your users' data to Sony just to see if any of them were in California.

I really don't understand the benefit of IE having its own rendering engine. While I can't imagine MS abandoning IE, I can't see any business reason (other than hubris) for them maintaining a worst-of-breed rendering and JS engine at great cost to themselves.

(And just for the record, basically agree with you on all points.)
