It would be interesting to see if a fat- and protein-sparing fast (i.e. Atkins diet) would work as well. Apparently it's much easier to eat a semi-starvation diet by eliminating nearly all carbohydrates than by simply cutting back calories in general.

If you don't mind using gmail over IMAP/POP then you can essentially do this. You can create a special password for access over IMAP/POP that does not require 2-factor authentication.

Then just use the web interface for managing your settings.

Of course, this isn't a real solution and only will work for people who already are not using the gmail web interface.
I guess it's all eyes on Skype's privacy policy to see how the story unfolds. [1]

Acording to the article, this patent predates the acquisition of Skype. I might be missing some technological detail when I say this, but ever since Google opensourced WebRTC, it would be a bad idea for Microsoft to actually play that card.

Then again, the privacy of Skype has been questioned recently [2], and outside of HN that doesn't seem to have had much of an impact. But that technique was tricky in many regards, as opposed to a de facto implementation of gov't eavesdropping right there onto the protocol.

Most people tend to discredit diet therapy because it's "not mainstream" or against the norm.

Of course you don't see nearly as many "studies" on diet therapy as you do a typical medicine or pill, most scientists and doctors that practice alternative therapy are considered heretics (cooks, crazy people, etc) and banished from the "mainstream" portion of the medical world (the one with all the cash flow).

Look up Dr. Max Gerson and all of the amazing things he's done with the use of a simple diet therapy consisting mainly of juices and fruits and vegetables. I would highly recommend his biography - http://www.amazon.com/Dr-Max-Gerson-Healing-Hopeless/dp/0976...

It's a fascinating read and really challenges you to think against the mainstream medical world.
What a stupidly irrelevant question.

Haven't seen this movie, but your question is more online group think pessimism and reluctance to take responsibility for our actions and lifestyles.

What about the movie, apparently covering diet and nutrition, makes you think it has anything to do with a belief system based on stronger dilutions of chemicals having a greater effect than a weaker dilution?

Seriously, some of the questions asked by geeks online leave the ordinary reader wondering if there's a herd of you in a room high-fiving each other after your asinine remarks. Carry on with your groupthink if you must, but it's getting old.
Right because desperate cancer patients that could clearly seek an alternative are being told that their only hope is Chemo therapy or death aren't being taken advantage of...

God forbid someone suggest an alternative as simple as gasp diet.
30 days, divided by the number of computers you log in on. In my case that could be as much as 7 machines, so I'd expect to need to log in every 4 days or so. Definitely more hassle than desired.

On a second thought yeah it was baffled.
Yup, it's working as advertised (a.k.a. awesomely!) Had to modify how the template tag was being imported for Jinja2, but that was dead simple.
Yes, but the question was about downloading what you put in, not what other people put in that you happen to have access to.
"It's the first thing to recommend to patients."

I'm 42, I've been involved with two major medical systems for 30+ years, both in Canada and the United States (Kaiser) - for one reason or another, I've been to a doctor maybe a dozen times. For about 15-20 years I was either on the cusp of obesity, was always overweight - and certainly was never in the slightest bit of good physical shape.

In that 30+ years, I solemnly swear no medical official has ever made any recommendations about diet and/or exercise, with one exception of a emergency room intake doctor giving me some guidance on drinking more water after I was checked in for dehydration and the second time, when I contacted Kaiser Intake (half dead from a case of pneumonia ) - and they recommended I drink tea with a bit of honey. Sum total of diet advice.

In general, the medical system is much more interested in "Fix it when it's broken" then they are "Prevent it from breaking in the first place."

And they really tend to reach towards surgery/and drugs any time there is a problem. Some are offended when you suggest that perhaps an affliction might be diet recommended.

It's not a tin-foil-hat theory reaction. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has any number of peer reviewed observational studies on what happens to indigenous populations when they encountered western (refined) diets.

Taubes has an endless number of references in "Good Calories, Bad Calories" for those who are even moderately interested in how unbelievably important diet turns out to be when it comes to modern health.

But, where's the money in getting people to lead a healthy lifestyle?

People will need to figure this stuff out for themselves, it certainly won't be marketed to them the way HFCS laden beverages will be.
This is a really great extension and works with Maps also (to load the Maps app directly). There's an extension for Opera that also utilizes the Chrome to Phone API. Not sure about Firefox.
There's actually a section in the movie on the subject of electricity:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3uvzcY2Xug&t=16m15s

And later on they discuss hybrids and electric cars specifically. But to be clear, I don't recommend the movie because it's right, but because it asks interesting questions and leads you to think about interesting possibilities.

We use a lot of energy. If we're going to replace the energy from fossil fuels with energy from electricity, we are going to need a lot more capacity than we have today. And as you can see from recent news, doubling or trebling our capacity is no small feat.

ElDragonRojo had technical difficulties replying here, so he posted his reply on his blog instead. With his permission, here's what he wanted to tell you here:

---

Sorry if I came across as impolite. Like I said, pardon the expression. It may have been inappropriately colorful. All I meant was that you’re talking about things you don’t know anything about.

I had the idea for Appsterdam and got things rolling. Sofa wanted to help out, but then they got offered a lot of money to move to the Valley. That’s great for them, and great for us, because that means we’ll have that many more Appsterdammers with Valley experience and investment money.

To suggest that their move in anyway represents a lack of faith in Appsterdam is just wrong. They don’t think that. I don’t think that. Nobody thinks that, except for you.

It’s also meaningless. Sofa did not found Appsterdam. I did. Sofa did not build Appsterdam, our army of volunteers did. Sofa designed our logo and website, but we get to keep those when they leave.

So even if they hated Appsterdam with the fire of a thousand suns, it wouldn’t doom us to failure. It wouldn’t even slow us down. We didn’t get to work together long enough for their leaving to impact us at all.

So your premise is wrong, and your conclusion is wrong, because you are working on no knowledge. You made a venomous statement that misrepresents things for no other reason than to be a naysayer.

Then, when you got caught by the people whose lives you are actually talking about, you tried to pass it off as a metaphor, even though that makes no sense at all, unless we accept the unlikely conclusion that you don’t actually know what a metaphor is or how to construct one.

That’s all I meant. I didn’t mean to be rude. Sorry if I offended.
I guess I still don't understand why they're not optional, with a default to off. The people who want to see them can, but the people who are concerned about some self-fulfilling echo chamber effect of "visible points promotes groupthink" can rest assured that most people will not be seeing them because they off by default (or perhaps only visible to logged in people?)
Wow.... No need to go hostile. Just trying to gauge if it's a serious response, or a superfluous one.
Because of the long-state persistence of sessions in Google accounts, this shouldn't be a problem unless you're logging in from public terminals.

I've had Two-Factor on for about a week now and it works very, very well. Most annoying part is setting up the one-off auto-generated passwords for the applications that can't use two-factor.
In the attention economy, being wrong in a spectacular manner is way better than being right. My suspicion is that the controversy was a bigger factor in the sign-ups increase than the homepage deletion itself.

Just because he doesn't save it doesn't mean he's wouldn't be willing to if he had a lot of it. He isn't spending it because he thinks it doesn't keep value, he's spending it because he wants to buy things.

I absolutely agree with that. I think what they did was simply brilliant. They practically carved out an entire industry for themselves.
Three weeks ago I relocated to Madison, WI which (I'm told) is one of the most bike friendly cities in the US. I haven't ridden or owned a bike since childhood, but I wouldn't be surprised if that changes in the near future. Having trails that get you where you need to go simply turns the biking questions from "how?" to "why not?". Why continue a) paying gas prices b) causing unnecessary pollution and c) sitting on your a if a bicycle can truly fulfill 75% of your transportation needs. Time will tell but I definitely think availability of greenbelts can only be a good thing.
For some trips, yes. The travel to the airport and time through security and boarding are fixed. Taking a 1 hour flight from Detroit to Chicago almost isn't worth it when you can drive it in 4 hours, because you've got probably an hour to the airport and an hour of waiting around at the airport to board, then more time at the other end getting more transport to your final destination.

But those same ~2 hours prep pale in comparison to, say, LAX->SYD. :)
They're juvenile because they're juveniles, but all that really means is that this has only just begun.

The point of the article is that the return value of suburbs is being propped up by new investment and they are destined for collapse (Ponzi scheme). There isn't a single fact in the whole muddled essay that supports this premise.
Homeopathy has positive spiritual benefits too.
It goes hand in hand.

Doctors are not telling them a dietary program to follow, but generally to add or cut out a few things here and there. Instead, the time and effort goes into labeling symptoms and matching them up with various drugs, then experimenting over the years with the patient, adjusting combinations and dosages of drugs prescribed.

If the standard practice were to direct the patient to an appropriate nutrition and lifestyle program, with drugs being a last resort, then you would have a point.

The OP's point stands.
And now we know why he's your ex.
There was an awesome talk by an architect Jan Gehl that I managed to catch (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/bigideas/stories/2011/06/21/3248796...) talking about how new development projects have been built to look good from the Plane and Helicopter perspectives (from 5000feet/metres and rooftop/helicopter) while completely ignoring the street level at which most people operate on.

While the talk was more about large building projects, in the second half he does talk about how Copenhagen has transformed itself into a more bike and people friendly environment. More specifically he details how people's behaviour has changed in response to the different environmen, where walking and riding has been made more accessible and safer (for instance bike lanes on the inside of parked cars, so the cars protect the bike lane from the street), more people end up walking and riding.

Now suburbia has pretty much been designed for cars rather than people, and as such it is no real wonder that you have to drive everywhere rather than cycling or walking.

It should be possible to change this suburbia to something less car friendly, perhaps in cities like Detroit and others, which are in the process of removing suburbs entirely (or so I have read), so that people's behaviour changes. However I don't see this happening easily in the USA. People will relinquish their suburbs, cars, SUV's only when pried from their cold dead hands.
There are instances in which chemotherapy is the only option, as advised by sound evidence-based medical research, just as there are instances in which diet is a completely acceptable treatment, and those instances must abide by the same strict evidence-based guidelines.

However, when people go around claiming that diet can cure the majority of disease it plants a seed in the minds of patients that have no option, patients that should be discussing palliative care with their physician, that all they need is a pot of "herbs" and a low-fat, vegan diet to cure their terminal illness. Then the physician has to spend an exponentially larger amount of time than it took to plant that seed to dig it up and move on, time s/he could be spending discussing palliative treatment or even working with other sick patients.
It's not the value of bitcoins that stabilises but the difficulty of producing bitcoins (measured in average number of trial hashes per BTC). Given:

D = difficulty (HASH/BTC)

E = marginal efficiency (HASH/kWH)

V = value of bitcoins (USD/BTC)

C = cost of electricity (USD/kWH)

then in equlibrium, the difficulty will be equal such that the electricity you can purchase with a generated bitcoin will just balance out the electricity required to produce it (neglecting depreciation of equipment, time value of money etc..):

D ~= (E * V) / C

So this predicts that equilibrium difficulty will increase when marginal mining efficiency increases (ie. more power-efficient GPUs are available), when the value of bitcoins increases, and when the price of electricity decreases.

(Note that there is no guarantee that the system will reach equilibrium - the relatively long time lag taken for the difficulty to adjust in the protocol may mean it doesn't).

It is also notable that you can rearrange to solve for `V`, allowing you to determine an estimate of the underlying theoretical value of bitcoins based on the current difficulty level, the efficiency of the best GPU now available, and the price of electricity.
If you use more than one browser per machine, you need to reauthenticate for each one, which multiplies the inconvenience. Also the need to generate passwords for apps that don't use 2 factor authentication (IMAP, IM clients).

Although, I still think it's worth the added effort.
What I believe the GP was getting at is that "I could care less" is a corruption of the original "I couldn't care less", and one that makes next to no sense as an expression of contempt.
Well, to be fair, I don't believe there are a lot of peer-reviewed, doubly blinded, placebo controlled studies that provide evidence that diet helps in most cancers. Lots of evidence that suggests you can avoid them in the first place, but once you have Cancer, you usually have to turn to modern medicine, in much the same way you do when you have something like HIV. Diet just won't cut it.

It's also important to differentiate diseases resulting from pathogens, versus basic body health.

Type-2 Diabetes is almost 100% a function of nutrition - it almost doesn't exist in many populations of the world that haven't been exposed to a western diet, and, quickly develops in those populations as they adopt a western diet.
This sounds awesome. Can't wait.
"...and with the attention span of an ADHD kid hopped up on meth and Jolly Ranchers."

Minor correction to that: theoretically ADHD kids given stimulants should become more calm, not more hyper.
Which is a bit silly since Facebook already has one of the most popular mobile apps installed on millions of devices.
I'm gonna guess it's syntax and strings for starters. Erlang makes dealing with strings painful in a lot of ways and while the syntax grew on me to the point where I actually like it now I think most people find it to be painful.

Hrrrmmm as a coder who loves both perl and erlang maybe I'm just permanently warped when it comes to syntax :-)
Massive, massive understatement. Not to mention if your children happen to have other issues, such as developmental disabilities, severe food allergies, or other things that make "normal" day-to-day living difficult, without adding the extra stressors related to travel and living abroad on top of that.

It is absolutely no coincidence that the vast majority of people who do these sorts of things have no children. This is not to say that I don't think it's commendable to get out in the world like this, because if you can it's a great thing. However, I get annoyed with folks who seem to think there couldn't be any possible reason that someone wouldn't do the same.
There is no way a motor is well-modeled by a capacitor, either analytically or intuitively. It's a coil of wire, practically a poster child for an inductor.

Here's a motor's equivalent circuit from Wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor#Equivalent_circ...

This does have lumped resistance elements, but by the time you put the two inductors and two resistors in to the differential equation with forcing

sin (2*pi*60*t) u(t),

you're not going to be in a good place as far as intuition goes.

In fact, overall, I'm not seeing much intuitive sense in your summary. Once you really delve in to it, the subject of starting electric motors (AC and DC) is very complex.
Then again, with as little as read-only access to your inbox, someone can steal your accounts in other websites.

Plus, the two-factor authentication may sound like a hassle but it really isn't. You get used to it really fast, and you have to use it surprisingly less than you'd expect because of the option to automatically remember devices (for a month).
It's a reversal. Cure implies that a disease cannot, under most circumstances, come back due to the treatment regimen (whether that be diet, drugs, radiation, etc...). The reason it's a reversal and not a cure is that if a patient were to "stop treatment," which in this case means revert to a diet far above daily caloric needs, it is likely insulin resistance will return.
YouTube does provide SSL for embeds. Many sites just don't use it.
finds arguments might very well be inconsistent but the --name argument as you show it does exist. -iname just means find should treat the name as case insensitive. --name on the other hand is case sensitive so --name=Foo.bar won't match foo.bar.

Asking for evidence is hardly an ignorant statement. I'd be happy to hear the evidence, it's just that claims like the above tend to set off a radar.
Since you claim Max Gerson was "a complete quack", does that mean that people who were helped by following the advice of eating fresh fruits and vegetables to the exclusion of other foods (which almost nobody does) were just coincindentally made healthier? And we should dismiss that advice because you don't like Gerson?

What would you recommend their diet consist of if they want to prevent ill health or gain health?

Ignore diet because Gerson was a quack? And just hope they don't get sick? And if they do, come to you for you to select what drugs you deem to have the least conflict of interest at the time?

Do healthy and sick people a favor, and keep your "intellectual" clown bullying from encouraging them to ignore the daily factors that accumulate to become their health or ill health over years.
The others, include Silverlake.

The first thought that came to my mind was - new employees better triple check the paperwork surrounding their stock options.
I didn't like OnSwipe when I first saw it show up on a WP.com blog, and I still don't like it. It breaks a lot of functionality in MobileSafari, and half of the time the "View Standard Site" link at the bottom doesn't work.

It still feels like a cheap knockoff of Flipboard, and I don't need a Flipboard knockoff for every blog I read on my iPad. The iPad display is big enough not to need a special layout, and finding a poorly-implemented one like this just frustrates me.
the New York Times had an article about LulzSec's breaking up (http://www.nytimes.com/2011/06/27/technology/27hack.html?_r=...) and they speculated that the primary reason for disbanding was significant pressure on the group from law enforcement and other hacker groups, as everyone was trying to figure out who they were.

Also it seems unlikely that the group will have disbanded. I'm sure they will continue as they have but simply do so without all of the pomp and publicity.
I like CapsuleCRM (http://capsulecrm.com), it works great and their pricing is great for young companies.
Public transportation unfortunately can't deal with mixed-use areas. It can deal with a nice big downtown commute center, but that's the opposite of mixed-use, and by definition someone works in all those non-residential locations.
The problem with not having an error message is then content disappears and users will have no idea. Not a good experience.

The unusual part is being able to buy the stock back at the Exercise Price, not the fair market value at the time.

The way it's structured, it's essentially an interest-free no-recourse loan from their employees.
I'm not against them, I'm just trying to play devil's advocate. I bought a bike last friday because mine was stolen before I moved to New York City. I mention this because I moved from Dallas, which is one of the unfriendlier cities for biking - the heat makes it impractical to bike to work unless you have a shower on site, and the other drivers make it a more dangerous sport than it has to be.
The problem here is the author is mischaracterizing the debate. Right now we have a job environment where most good jobs require a college degree. The debate as to whether college is necessary asks if that environment is appropriate since college costs a lot of money and often falls short when it comes to imparting lifelong knowledge.

When all those TV Shows, Newspapers and Blogs are having this debate the question they are asking is whether the environment that requires a degree should exist. So arguing that people with a degree make more money in the current environment is irrelevant to the debate itself.

(He does set up a straw man of parents on the edge deciding not to send their kids to college but I see that as unrealistic. No parent who is going to send their kid to college changes their mind based on what Katie Couric says or what they read on a blog)
