Sure it does. C# 2 comes out X(old King) refers to C# 1 and X(new King) refers to C# 2. It pretty much is true in the case of C# as soon as a new version is released the old version is dead, there is zero talk about the last version with everything either focused on the current release or the next release.
I already knew this. This is why Europe will continue to do well whatever the oil price. Most cities are still built around public transport. The UK and some others are not.

9 Steps to Consider When Valuing Your Startup
Yeah, trusting Google more than some random E-mail hosting company is probably right. However the catch is that in the last resort I always have my credit card number for the proof of ownership.

Fastmail is not really some random company (one of the companies that I feel they know what they're doing) and is very decent in providing user access control. They have Wubikey integration and a dozen more methods to make sure your account is safe. Also, they implemented who sign on what IP years before Google. Btw -- I have 7 days of sign-on history.
No, they are not equal, because that difference he is emphasizing is the definitions "that most people would understand."

They should be asking for certain characters of your password now, to defeat keyloggers. If you've got tons in the cloud, you need bank-level security. If people can cope with it for banking, they can cope with it for gmail.
Maybe it's treated in your book, but your post here is dodging the issue. It's also internally contradictory:

I show that it would take only a small transfer...

The inconvenient truth is that only sizable transfers can make a significant difference...

So instead of dodging the issue, could you answer this question: if the small or large wealth transfers you describe are politically unfeasible, would you favor taxing the poor as a second best alternative? If not, why not?

The End of Suburbia is a rabidly biased documentary that takes another perspective on why the suburbs will fail, the cost of oil:

Jared Spool defines a model of core users (who have domain knowledge)

Perhaps the OP developed a core competency in project management, which requires a different app. Spool implies that it is hard to have an app that can meet the needs of both core and ring users, since they have different needs.

It's not novice vs expert in the app that matters, but novice vs expert in the domain area.
There is no better place to see this than Cleveland. Especially because it's all starting to bite them in the behind. People in the suburbs depend on the main city to be the heart of the region. But, almost everyone with a family who possibly could has moved out to the suburbs, even ones that are only marginally better (Warrensville Heights, North Randell). This has caused a HUGE loss of tax base, even larger than the numbers would suggest (Cleveland has 50% of the population it did in 1960), because the populace is significantly poorer.

Now, there are water mains breaking all the time, gas lines that are leaking, the roads that are down to the brick under layer that they were built on, many, many abandoned buildings that are a concentrator of crime and cost. For example, a former clothing factory on E 55th caught fire this past week. It's been abandoned since 1992, so the city hasn't gotten any tax from it since then. Crime is really bad, especially on the east side.

People in the suburbs resent giving the city any money, because everyone in the city to them is stupid and lazy, and their taxes are really high already. And now the people are starting to move even farther out to Medina, Geauga and Lorain counties, and complain the taxes are even higher. It's ridiculous. Unfortunately, I really don't see this changing anytime soon, due to the way schools are funded though local property taxes.
That is exactly what they solved in my community. There are cul-de-sacs but they have also built bike-able and walkable paths between the back yards so you can still cut through if you wanted on foot or bike but cars can't pass through.
This is a tin-foil-hat conspiracy theory reaction.

Define "use it more often". Doctors recommend diet and exercise all the time. It's the first thing to recommend to patients. It's simply very hard for people to accomplish it, and the vast majority of people either can't or won't lose weight.

The weird thing about flying is that the bottle neck has become the "security" measures, flight delays, and all the other time spent from leaving your home to when you actually arrive at your destination.

Speeding up all of those steps probably has even more effect on door to door travel time than reducing the amount of time the plane has to be in the air.
Eat (burgers) or be eaten.
Yes and yes. One less car on the road relieves congestion for other commuters. While some homeowners may be concerned about converting nearby abandoned railroads to trails, there's no question that it will increase resale value (beautiful, quiet, paved 25 mile nature trail out my back gate? Sold!). I've seen every cross section of society utilizing these trails, including infants, elderly and severely handicapped. One worthwhile consideration: pavement is a must. Gravel roads are simply less accessible.
I hate to rain on your parade, I do... But, you simply couldn't be further from the truth. Diet can only be considered a "cure" in an extremely small subset of all disease; and, furthermore, the word "cure" is practically never used to describe the effects of diet in any treatment scenario.

It's true that there is no money to be made by Pharma, and that's why they aren't funding this study. My words may be harsh, but it's people like you, spreading pseudoscience, that lead to desperate patients being taken advantage of.

While there's no denying that nutrition is an important determinant of overall health, I think "can be used as a form of cure for nearly every disease" is going a little overboard. The vast majority of diseases of all kinds cannot be cured by diet alone. Eating an apple a day, for example, is not going to kill HIV.
I voted for displaying comment points, but I do agree that they might create something of an echo chamber where the "highest rated" comment is the one that decided where the topic is going. If this _was_ the case prior to removing comment points another solution is necessary, but more information would be appreciated.
There is a legitimate option not being presented. Only show the points when they're +/- 5 or more. What I don't like about the voting is the first few votes tend to tip the balance quickly.

But regardless, without displaying the votes there's no reason to have karma or voting at all.

And, just imagine, if people stuck to a simple diet (Zone, Atkins, Paleo, South Beach, Mayo - hell, even Weight Watchers/Jenny Craig - it doesn't really matter, just chose _something_ and stick to it, they'll all get the job done eventually) + a couple hours of walking a day + some progressive resistive strength training.

Can you imagine what kind of condition the average citizen would be in?

The only problems with this are:

o Who will buy all the refined foods?
o None of the above exercises cost anything. The resistive strength training
can be done very effectively as bodyweight in

o Social Security costs would skyrocket as people start living longer.

Why would Cleveland be the best place to see this?

Wouldn't Detroit be better? Detroit has already collapsed, and is well into a long contractionary period. Local government (sans Kwame) have basically said "well we gotta get used to a smaller tax base and scale back".

Oh, and i absolutely agree on Ohio's school system being totally batshit (Michigan's too). The fact that state funding for the Ohio public schools was declared unconstitutional by the state supreme court, and then the state government just simply did nothing is a fucking outrage. To this day, nothing has been done to fix the fundamental injustices of Ohio's schools (rich suburbs can afford rich public schools, and poor towns get nothing. Not even intact school buildings).

The same sluggishness applies to iTunes as well.

Plus, one of the easier experiments is to swap in Google's DNS servers. Then the AppleTV is snappy for a few days. After awhile, slow-loading thumbs again. Swap back in the 2wire DNS, and snappy again.

I'm not sure the transfer speed to my Linode VPS really proves much either. It could be that video traffic like iTunes and Netflex are the big QoS targets, especially since they directly compete with the other half of the UVerse services.

This is lame-brain hand-waving dismissal in order to continue being lazy and essentially helpless in our personal health.

Doctors make standardized dietary recommendations that are not enough to protect and heal against lifestyle diseases. Compare the 30% fat American Heart Association diet to the Dr. Dean Ornish, Dr. McDougall, or Dr. Esselstyn diets that recommend 10% fat and whole foods, not products marketed as 'low fat' snacks and meals. The latter diets are clinically shown to reverse heart disease, essentially heal Type II diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and many other diseases. There is ongoing research by McDougall into multiple sclerosis, based on past great success with the low fat Swank diet.

The standard dietary advice is given largely because people can't make enough changes to even follow that, much less make the effort to have every single meal conform to something as seemingly 'radical' as a 10% fat diet.

So yes, arn, "doctors recommend diet and exercise all the time", but it's not to the extent necessary to bring about meaningful results.

But carry on with your dismissal of anything that doesn't make you feel good (mentally, physically, or morally) as "tin foil conspiracies". And follow the herd and make sure others can take care of you (and pay for you) when you get sick.
Well I think the point of the article is that you're not paying the true cost of the lifestyle you enjoy. It claims only 10% of the actual cost is covered by taxes. I'm not saying that's true, but it's an interesting thought experiment, how would you feel about it if your property taxes went up 10x?
Not to discredit (haven't had a chance to watch yet), but is there scientific evidence behind this?
I'm not sure it is a sound argument because most of the valuations in question are being set by private and institutional investors. So, the evidence of this phase of the bubble (as measured in the Blank paradigm) would be a survey of the sentiment of the smaller subset of individuals who set valuations for companies - not the population as a whole.

Perhaps this is a nuance of the simplified model Blank presented (in the sense that every model is wrong). However, in my mind, it actually supports the Blank argument that a small set of private investors are effectively trying to create an investment that the public views as 'the opportunity of a lifetime'.

In other words, the Horowitz's argument is exploiting the holes in Blank's argument to divert from the obvious fact that we live in a cycle where it is clearly in the interest of every early-stage, private investor to be optimistic about valuations because they have a very good track record selling their story a greater fool in current market conditions.

Falling prices of public stocks (linkedin, pandora) is evidence that sellers have run out of greater fools for the moment. However, the IPO price itself is largely a function of the valuation private investors can convince the institutional investors to buy at and the initial sentiment the can market to the public (so in this case its the average sentiment of only the eager set of initial public investors).

I think this IPO price, and the funding rounds leading up to the IPO are of most interest. Further, I think the sentiment of the subset of the public involved in these investments is what Blank is talking about. And, I think Horowitz knows that, and is merely trying to deflect the debate in a direction that takes it away from looking like the insider-driven system that it is.
Agreed; I got half way through setting up Google's 2 factor but then was told I had to use it for every login, instead of say when I was logging in from a different IP or doing some big change.
"The End of Suburbia is a rabidly biased documentary that takes another perspective on why the suburbs will fail, the cost of oil:"

I dislike the suburbs as much as the next wannabe new urbanist type, but a) given development patterns of the last 70 years, it's hard to see anything happening to suburbs save on the same timescale and b) hybrid and/or electric cars will replace gas-powered ones if the price of oil rises high enough. Sure, the (current) higher stick price of hybrid / electric cars means that cities will become more attractive at the margin, but given how easy the substitutes are, I think electric cars (and the infrastructure necessary to run them) are now advanced enough to ensure that oil prices alone won't damn suburbs.
No, semantically "I could care less" means exactly the same as "I couldn't care less," in the very same way that in French, "Je ne sais pas" means the same as "Je sais pas." Nothing sarcastic about it.

How to Break the Information Bottleneck in Government Data?
You don't actually have to use it on every login. There's an option to remember a computer for 30 days. I have this option ticked in a single browser on my main laptop, and I input the verification key for everything else. Not a pain at all and definitely worth the added security.
Suburbs are fine as long as we make people pay for the externalities that living there costs other people. Each extra car on the freeway is a cost to everyone else in congestion. If that car burns carbon, there's extra pollution in the air. Culs-de-sac cost neighborhoods travel time, congestion and pollution.

Living anywhere leads to costs for other people, but it's significantly higher in the suburbs. It'd be nice if governments would make people pay each other for those costs. Instead, they usually subsidize suburban living via roads, universal service fees, expenditures to ensure cheap fuel, etc.
Actually -- my suburb has quite a nice compromise. "Cul-de-sacs and the Fleur-de-lis" style for most of the roads. And then stright-line pedestrian/bike paths to join them up. Kind of like this:

+---------------------------------------+
| | | | | | | |
+- --+ +- --+ +----+ +- ---+
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | +-----+-+-------+-+------+-+------+-+--------------------+

It works pretty well. The roads are quiet -- but you can walk/ride really conveniently.

That's not my point. My point is that, regardless of what you do work on, it will be rather inconsequential (by the norms of SV perhaps).
I suspect the word cure is used capriciously here. Remission would probably be a better term. I know this study made a splash on Drudge the other day, but the response over on diabetesforums.com was much more measured:

The original paper: http://www.diabetologia-journal.org/Lim.pdf

> After the baseline measurements, individuals with type 2 diabetes started the diet, which consisted of a liquid diet formula (46.4% carbohydrate, 32.5% protein and 20.1% fat; vitamins, minerals and trace elements; 2.1 MJ/day [510 kcal/day]; Optifast; Nestlé Nutrition, Croydon, UK). This was supplemented with three portions of non-starchy vegetables such that total energy intake was about 2.5 MJ (600 kcal)/day. Participants were provided with sugges- tions of vegetable recipes to enhance compliance by varying daily eating. They were also encouraged to drink at least 2 l of water or other energy-free beverages each day, and asked to maintain their habitual level of physical activity. Ongoing support and encouragement was provided by means of regular telephone contact. At the end of the 8 week intervention participants returned to normal eating but were provided with information about portion size and healthy eating.
"The standard dietary advice is given largely because people can't make enough changes to even follow that, much less make the effort to have every single meal conform to something as seemingly 'radical' as a 10% fat diet."

So you agree with me. People won't follow even a "moderate" diet. So why do you think they will follow a more stringent diet?

But (as the OP does) blaming it on a lack of financial motives does put it squarely in the conspiracy theory realm for me, as it ignores any individual responsibility and blames it on the "bad system" instead.
I could see this argument if an article was titled "Client side scripting (JavaScript) is Dead. Long live client side scripting (Ruby)" ...assuming one of the browsers yanked JavaScript in favor of Ruby.
Yea, due to the way my apartment complex charges for electricity I end up paying less than .2% of my personal energy bills. (It's total energy for the split among ~500 units). Because, I also have fairly nice graphics card so I could mine bit coins for basically zero cost to me other than setup time. However assuming the return is basically the same as your energy costs ~.3kw * .08c/kwh * 24 * 365 ~= 200$/year which is worth me setting it up and having slightly more fan noise for a year.

PS: I would also feel somewhat guilty wasting that much energy for so little net gain.
