It's hard to find reliable sources, but there's evidence that the difference between grass-fed and corn-fed beef goes beyond just having lower or higher fat content to things like fatty acids and conjugated linoleic acid. I don't know how much these things matters, if at all.

(Incidentally: I prefer to eat the beef of an animal that is free-range and grass-fed, then finished with some healthy corn feed without drugs.)
Out curiosity, why wouldn't PayPal just put categorical warnings on the payment page that allows merchants & buyers to assess the risk themselves?

So if a merchant understands these relative risks, they can opt in to a high risk warning category, in order to make sure accounts don't become locked, and buyers can then fully understand what they're getting into via the warnings.

I mean really this is all about liability right...or maybe is it that I'm expecting too much...?

I've played around with at least half a dozen lisp dialects. Currently only Clojure and Common Lisp are good practical general purpose lisps(maybe Racket too, but I've only played with r5rs Scheme, so I don't know for sure). Both are excellent languages, both with their own strengths and weaknesses. After using Common Lisp for a while now, its my favorite language, and Clojure comes in as a very close second. IMHO these are the two BEST dynamically typed languages that are currently used in practice.

Choosing between the two could be hard, but my general advice is that if one prefers a more strict FP approach, Clojure is better, and if one prefers to have more choice over what paradigm to use when, a good multi-paradigm language like Common Lisp can make you happy. I happen to like the latter. Which reminds me, I have a lot of lisp hacking to do, enough HN for the evening.

I think when you compare "often in" with 'but also in" most people would assume the first is far more prevalent than the second. Regulatory capture is often an issue, but dispute being blamed for the instability Freddy and Fanny lost far less money than other banks relative to their size. Which suggests that they where not major players in the most toxic assets. So, while I have no problem suggesting they in some small way contributed to the mess that just happened I take issue with people suggesting they are the major causes of the collapse.
Very odd example, no? While pooled revenue from taxes does pay for collective benefits, any single individual's taxes are only tenuously related to the benefits they receive.

If it worked like you described, I'd expect a break from the IRS since my education mostly took place elsewhere, and I'd still be writing checks to the Canadian government for the education and healthcare I got as a child. (That wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing, but it's not how it works.)
About 5 years ago, we were told that the carriers were very concerned about simply introducing NFC technology on their phones, and that the impasse was due to the carriers and credit card companies being unable to agree on a revenue split. I believe the only non-carrier Isis partner is Discover Card, so that's how those negotiations turned out.
I presume it's a matter of complex vs. simple carbs. Also there is a great factor in the amount of fiber in the food.

Unless you are actually exercising, foods that take long to digest and slowly release energy are better for your mood and concentration. A spike in the blood sugar is followed by a drop in the blood sugar which leads to cravings. I guess the blood sugar analysis in the body is a based on calculus.
Nice to see the Wenlin Chinese-English dictionary cited in this article. It has indeed a very useful content with many etymologies and good translations.

> If your airplane catches on fire

I think that unmanned plane has actually a much better chance of surviving fire, it could have an inert atmosphere, or it could be unpressurized so fires would be much less frequent. Also fires happen mostly on freight planes (lately UPS and Asiana) and freight planes would be probably easier to certify for unmanned flying than passenger planes.

> I am alive today because, on countless occasions, I and my fellow aviators have looked outside, seen another aircraft, and maneuvered to avoid a potential collision.

Isn't this what Traffic collision avoidance system (TCAS) is for? The pilots already have to do as they are told by TCAS (after the collision over Switzerland). Surely managing traffic of obedient agents with known limits of performance isn't that hard - if all the planes were unmanned there wouldn't be problems

However, the points that you mentioned about other emergencies and passenger traffic still stand.
So google should have stayed with just search? Come on... I would love to have DHH's clout. He could start a whole bunch of new products/ideas and easily get thousands of people to signup. Or is that a 37signals philosophy: "stick with what you know and don't try anything new"?
Amazon has one product: Their shop (yes they have some minor stuff, but when people talk about Amazon they talk about the shop, maybe Payments)

Twitter has one product: The API that is taking the tweets and distributing it to the streams of users (yes the may have some other minor products or utility software)

Linkein has one product: Their career/contact website (yes they may have some other products)

When you cite those companies as using Rails for their products, I'd assume - and I have no data to support this - people have those products in mind.

This article is full of crap. It claims that Gramm-Leach-Bliley created "too big to fail", but we had too big to fail long before Gramm-Leach-Bliley. For that matter, I don't think Gramm-Leach-Bliley would have prevented GM from being "too big to fail".

The uptick rule is also a red herring. We had a controlled experiment in 2004 - the SEC eliminated the uptick rule for about 1/3 of securities. No disaster occurred for those 1/3 of securities that didn't also occur for the remaining 2/3.

There is no compelling argument whatsoever why shorting stocks should be harder than going long. The main people who want to prevent short selling are executives of failing companies - short selling allows speculators to inform the market about the companies impending failure, which tends to be bad for the CEO.
If the treatment allowed you to live over a decade longer then you could live long enough to get another treatment option, this has been true about AIDS drugs.

But if the treatment allowed me to live over a decade longer I'd also choose the treatment even if there was no chance of a new cure.

If the treatment only allows you two or so extra years, unless something is already in the late stages of coming to market, there is just no way any kind of drug or therapy for humans will get through even the earliest stages of approval in that kind of time frame.

I wonder if PayPal has misunderstood what Regretsy is doing.

For example, suppose PayPal think that Regretsy is buying cheap toys at cost, marking them up for profit, adding the cost of shipping, then selling them to customers as part of their ordinary business model (perhaps not even paying sales tax on them), but of course agreeing to send them to poor kids instead of the people paying the money.

PayPal would have every right to block such transactions, and I'd expect it. It wouldn't be charitable on the part of Regretsy nor would it be donation to a worthy cause, but a partial "donation" to Regretsy, a for-profit company. It would be ordinary profit making on the part of Regretsy in the guise of charity work!

I think Regretsy should just clarify with PayPal what it is they are actually doing. If Regretsy are honestly doing this for needy kids and not for their own profit, then I cannot see how it would be a win for PayPal to not accommodate this in some way.

I have a master's in aeronautical engineering, and one of my major areas of study was stability and control, which is what your Segway and F-15 examples fall under.

Automated flight control systems definitely do not exercise "judgement:" they have inputs, a transfer function (typically MIMO, these days), and outputs. It used to be that the transfer function was fixed, but more sophisticated systems (e.g. fighter jets) often have many different transfer functions and switch between them based upon various inputs. They don't "decide" or "discover" anything: for any given set of inputs, they will predictably produce a pre-determined set of outputs.

Aircraft stability and control systems are not programmed to care about, or even know about, the existance of the wings. The closest they get to this is that they will know the current states of the control surfaces on the wings. So it doesn't really make sense to say that the F-15 CAS was "not programmed for" the state of missing a wing (although it almost certainly was programmed to respond properly in the situation where it gets no feedback from some of the flight controls). As you say, it's designed to reach a specific goal (keep the plane level) and then maintain that state. If the system detects an uncommanded roll-rate, it will move the flight controls to stop that roll-rate. It doesn't know or care that the uncommanded roll-rate is the result of asymmetric lift due to an (almost completely) missing wing: it's just going to keep moving the flight control surfaces until that roll rate goes away. If the aicraft had been damaged in a slightly different way, it's possible that the CAS would have issued commands to the flight controls that would have departed the plane, but fortunately the handling characteristics of the aircraft remained close enough to normal that the control laws still produced good results.

Unfortunately, this behavior can result in mishaps when a flight control system gets erroneous inputs: when it believes that it is rolling when it is wings-level (or believies it is level when it is rolling). This was a major contributor to the Air France fligh 447 crash. In such situations, it takes judgement to realize that something is wrong and to figure out what to do about it.
I wouldn't bet jail time that a judge sees it that way.
Do you have a response to Gary Taubes et al. who have observed in recent years that the "calories in vs. calories out" hypothesis has no basis in the science of human metabolism, and that insulin, the hormone secreted in response to consumption of carbohydrates, has a very well-understood and primary role in fat storage?

First, let me state that this is an excellent idea for a business.

Now... not so sure that this is a candidate for a minimum viable product. It seems to me it has to be all or nothing. This business by its very nature is going to have to hve a lot of knowledge of each local environment ("The pre-made weddings will be custom designed for particular venues.")

Although, now that I think about it you could ditch the venue scheduling and the physical store location. Then you have a web store with different wedding themes and the ability to download a list of plans and purchase some of the items.

Perhaps the poster who mentioned working with wedding planners has a point. Market to them initially, they may be able to serve as your window into local pecularities.
We've heard all this before, with the Maastricht treaty and the fixed deficit/GDP ratio imposed by Germany in the 90s. The result? Whenever France and Germany felt like ignoring the rules ("because of political pressure from the voters"? oh no, northerners are so virtuous, they'd NEVER do that, would they?)... they did just that, invalidating them for everyone else.

It's all posturing. We will be back to this in 10 or 15 years regardless of any "rule" imposed now by Germany, unless we switch to superpower-mode and let the ECB play on the same level with the Yankees and the Chinese. The current agreement takes powers from individual banks but then it doesn't give them to a new subject; a huge macroeconomic power is kept hostage to the lie that the EU is not a unified body when, for all intents and purposes, it will have to be if it wants to survive.

Otherwise we might as well go back to our little villages and watch them being crushed one after the other. Merkel might keep enjoying her cows a couple of years more than the others, full of her righteous fiscal discipline, and eventually she'll be bought off by the Chinese like everyone else.

This is a good example of one thing SAP are doing poorly.

Huh? The government made a profit on most of the bank bailouts. The main exceptions are AIG (lost $6B) and GM (maybe $5B, but I don't understand the GM bailout so well).

The losses on Fannie/Freddie are estimated to be in the range of $100-200B, depending on what house prices do.

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1000142405297020368750457700...

If Fannie/Freddie lost less money relative to their size (citation?), it's only because the denominator is so large.
What are the other options exactly?
I dislike that it auto submits without pressing return, initially caused some confusion,

e.g.

would be better to be like "b" <return> "body" <return>, etc.

So I'm just going to throw it out there that I'm a young SAP Developer. I've been known as an "up and comer" in the community (yes, we have a community) until I decided I was no longer sure I wanted SAP to be my long term career choice. I've done SAP hacking on the side on multiple occasions and I've even made money from a little side project that won a SAP innocentive challenge.

For all of you SAP naysayers (I oftentimes find myself among you) the best explanation I've ever heard for why to work in the SAP ecosystem is "If you want to change the world, you should work with the biggest lever you can find".

If you are below 50 Ebay-Points they force you to accept Paypal payments. They even have a semi decent parser that does not permit statements like "I don't accept Paypal payments" in the Ebay offer.

Even if you manage to mangle a statement like that into your offer, chances are the buyer simply transfers the money via Paypal because he did not read the text. Happend two out of two times. Made me jump out of my skin each time.

By now I hate Ebay and Paypal so much, I stopped selling my yardsale-stuff there. Will go to the next flea-market and sell there. Person to person.

Or take a really expensive class from SAP (usually paid for by your employer).

The truth is that (it seems as though) SAP doesn't want people to be familiar with the system. Their distribution channel is consultants, and consultants make more money if the system is opaque and hard to get up to speed on.

This will be the downfall of SAP as we know it IMO (and Oracle, and every other enterprise application that relies on a technical consultant's input), the deliberate opacity of the system for the sake of the distribution channel.
