I bought it from the iTunes store directly, after seeing the post and reading the comments (specifically, $5 isn't much to support a fellow indie-dev trying to make his way through the app store, for an app that I'll probably use every dayish). Next time I was out, had my phone, and was bored, I looked for the $5 app, because it had to be yours. It's really well put together, and I really like the features you added. My only complaint is that it goes to comments first, not stories first, but that's easy to get used to.

I tend to agree with this line of thinking. I was added to half a dozen projects today alone. It would have been a pain to have to confirm each one.

Your average professional developer isn't trolled on a regular basis, nor would they go about adding "tech stars" to their repos just to have a big name on there or because they wished that person was a contributor - it's unprofessional and rude. So just dismissing yourself from the projects you are maliciously or mistakenly added to seems much simpler than having to confirm each one.
Unfortunately it's likely the spammers are simply going with whichever bank is easiest to work through.

Of course, you can't share multiple apps behind one domain, so if the one dyno isn't keeping you you'll need to scale up and pay for it.

OTOH, if you don't need to worry about any extra latency (maybe?) you could probably get away with a rails+node app like https://github.com/maccman/holla running free by having one app just run the web interface, and point the backend at another app running node.

As soon as you go outside of one tech stack it's cheaper to just get a small VPS to start with, but heroku definitely has its perks.

OTOH rifles are the weapon of choice for spree-killers. Australia had a surprising number of these for such a small country (my father narrowly missed driving through the Hoddle St massacre). I don't think we have had a spree killing of any significant scale since the gun bans passed following the Port Arthur killings.

College IS that experience that you're describing...but only if the student is wise enough to recognize it as such and if faculty are not tied up in chasing grant money. Believe it or not, many faculty forgoe the industry successes you're describing in order to be a mentor to their students. College provides students with the opportunity to be mentored by not just one person, but a wide range of people from different disciplines and with different perspectives.

Here's an argument to think about: The "college bubble" argument is not about college itself, it is about the new American cultural view of college (a social experience and just another hoop to jump through) and the American portrait of success (fortune and fame). Why hold colleges responsible for the changing values of its people?

"The sham acupuncture studies were double-blinded, meaning neither the researchers nor the participants knew who was receiving the real or the sham treatment. When looking at those studies, the reviewers found the differences in pain ratings showed a significant difference between the real acupuncture and the sham acupuncture groups, indicating that the benefit was not just due to the placebo effect."

How did you get "most of its relieving effect is due to the placebo effect" from the article?
I am not very well educated about the topic of selling data, it is not a topic that comes often online. Do you have some urls of interesting articles on this topic?

YEP! Props to Zed. After calling a bunch of people homophobes and writing some code to engage in an asshole war within the confines of GitHub, he got a simple feature implemented that would have probably been fast tracked with a reasonable email.

I agree that I don't want to see confirmations in my GitHub, but you are incorrect about them being equivalent. The optimal way to use confirmations is often not hitting "Reject" to requests you don't want. Just do nothing. In most well-designed systems, as long as there's an outstanding request, they can't bug you any more.
You can't contain root in lxc. It's great for unprivileged users, though.
I would disagree. If I happened to be in the job market, and my potential employer were to look at my github profile (yes, we do look at your github profile) and find "bigdicksucker" as one of the repos I'm apparently a "contributor" on, well, that wouldn't look too good, would it?
This article is the perfect example of why our higher education system is so dysfunctional:

"The obvious initial inference to make about a test that does not pick up a difference where you expect one is that it is not a very good test."

Or maybe the expectation is incorrect because you're a biased, myopic dimwit? Sorry, former Ivy League professor, but you just failed miserably in 'Logic and the Scientific Method 101'. How ironic, considering the fact that he was trying to counter an argument about universities' failure to impart critical thinking skills.
Regulation costs account for 90% of bringing a drug to market, on average $1 billion and 10 years of clinical trials for each new drug [1]. Of course, a mere 10 years of clinical trial cannot catch all long-term side effects, and we would be safer if the FDA was more stringent. The flip side is that we would have fewer and more expensive health care options. For better or worse, our regulatory structure is heavily biased towards fewer deaths from approved treatments, very long clinical trials, and expensive health care.

In general, the word "agile" and the health industry have nothing to do with each other.

The implemented solution is impressively elegant. Keep the barrier very low to join another project and provide a mean to block undesirable subsciptions. There is still a possibility for harrasement with multiple projects, but there is a report to staff option now to solve it.

>"If you throw a big enough temper tantrum and incite a large enough shitstorm, developers will address your concerns" is an unfortunate precedent.

Its unfortunate for many reasons, not the least of which is that they either were, or were perceived as (which is just as bad for the customer), so out of touch with the user base that such action was necessary.

>it also creates perverse incentives

No, it was created by a general disregard for customer service. The attitude that an issue is fine to ignore unless it is boiling over is what created the incentive, that was ages ago.
The prices he mentions assume that everybody's sending their kids to private schools prior to college. That's really not the case. In cities, you'll see a higher percentage of it because city schools tend to be worse environments for learning and are stretched thinner budget-wise, but the vast majority of students in small towns and suburbs go to public schools paid for by their taxes and do not incur the kind of pre-college expense for education that he's talking about. Sure, the taxpayers are still paying towards their education ... but it's spread across the entire community, whether they have students in school or not, and not coming directly out of the pockets of individual students' families.
You can already say "foo _1.2.3_ bar".

That said, I see little benefit in making rubygems bundler-aware, and I think it would constrain both projects in undesirable ways. For example, you propose rubygems checking for a Gemfile, but that is only a convention. Bundler supports an env var to identify the location of a gemfile. So right away, rubygems would need to support both of these techniques. When bundler adds new and better ways to do this, rubygems would have to be updated to keep up. Or, perhaps, it wouldn't, in which case the projects would fall out of sync.

Bundler already offers us simple ways to do this. See http://yehudakatz.com/2011/05/30/gem-versioning-and-bundler-... (including the comments) for more information.

> GNU made them for free first, but if they hadn't, someone else would have.

Chnage that to "GNU re-packaged or re-wrote versions of utilities that had existed for quite a while in the BSD world, but if they hadn't, someone would have just used the BSD version" and you would be closer to reality. GCC is really the only lingering semi-dependency and as clang improves to the point where it takes fewer patches to build around GCC-specific bits of the kernel the remaining contributions will become nice to have but not essential.
So, if adgrok were to, for example, not provide nearly as equitable terms as competitors, would you stay out of loyalty or bolt for the better deal?

The paper itself (linked to in the article) is pretty accessible, and a good read. Interesting that they noted for their research, 93.18% of the requests were for pharmaceuticals.

As for the banks: Azerigazbank in Azerbaijan, St Kitts & Nevis Anguilla National Bank in St Kitts &Nevis, and Danish-owned DnB Nord in Latvia, there is some more interesting factoids in the actual paper:

"most herbal and replica purchases
cleared through the same bank in St. Kitts (a by-product of
ZedCash’s dominance of this market, as per the previous
discussion), while most pharmaceutical afﬁliate programs
used two banks (in Azerbaijan and Latvia), and software
was handled entirely by two banks (in Latvia and Russia)"

As well as the fact that most of the merchant codes were correct:

"For example, all of our software purchases (across all programs) were coded as 5734 (Computer Software Stores)
and 85% of all pharmacy purchases (again across programs)
were coded as 5912 (Drug Stores and Pharmacies). ZedCash
transactions (replica and herbal) are an exception, being
somewhat deceptive, and each was coded as 5969 (Direct
Marketing—Other)."

It does make one wonder if spam is a solvable problem.

> There are existing products that perform similar roles to this system, including MogileFS (http://www.danga.com/mogilefs/), which implements server and client component software and uses an HTTP interface.

Not only is one sentence way too little to base an entire article on, but it didn't even merit a reference in the book's index. Another admin objected "Books results yield only trivial mentions" and it looks to me like he was right—nobody managed to find a verifiable article or book section by a disinterested third party that said anything at length about MogileFS. Wikipedia is not about "if the press mentions the product at all, we can start writing whatever we want about it." Wikipedia is about "show secondary sources for what you write" but instead proponents tried to handwave and argue their way past some "kid" who made the right call.

As for those other systems, well, GlusterFS looks similarly obscure and unsourced and probably also isn't ready for its own article. However, Usenix gave Ceph eleven pages in ;login: which pretty much anchors its notoriety in the industry.

I concluded that from several articles that I read on the way to picking that was as best representing current thought on the effectiveness of acupuncture.

There is still debate on whether real or fake acupuncture is better. (Studies have come down on both sides of this issue.) However pretty much everyone who has tried to study the subject has found that both real and fake acupuncture have a definite impact on pain. Frequently both will outperform conventional medicine. For a random example see http://featuresblogs.chicagotribune.com/features_julieshealt....

From that I know that there is a readily measurable benefit to acupuncture, another readily measurable benefit to the placebo, and the difference between the two benefits is difficult to measure. Which leads me to conclude that most of the benefit from acupuncture is due to the placebo effect, and only (possibly) a little is because acupuncture itself is effective.
