This looks exactly like Chinese.

Chinese people don't read line by line, they read paragraph by paragraph. Chinese has the advantage of reading very fast, and in fewer length[1]. The drawbacks however, are much larger character set (which results in higher illiteracy), and slightly slower writing speed.

But English/Romantic languages are not best suited for symbolic reading, because there are declensions. In Chinese, do-did-done are the same words. Every meaning is concluded by the context.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but most of the possible meanings I can think of aren't ones that would really stop us from having google be an (unfortunate) local maxima of search for too long.
Fedora does it somewhat better, I think. Run PreUpgrade and reboot into Anaconda, which will do the right thing. At least it seems to be a more fault-proof strategy than dist-upgrade IMO.

And of course with BTRFS, you can just make a snapshot right before the process and just roll back should anything go wrong. Of course there isn’t any UI for this yet, but hopefully we’ll get that as well, once Fedora adapts BTRFS as its default FS.

Furthermore, the default installation strategy for Fedora is to keep /home on a separate partition or LVM volume, so a complete reinstall is also possible.

As to the first point, it always takes some time, but Fedora 16 with latest updates is currently using Linux 3.3, KDE 4.8, Firefox 11 and Eclipse 3.7, so it’s not bad at all. Though Intellij IDEA CE is still on 9.0.
Guys. This is bad news. But it's a tiny, transient issue, which they've already corrected.

If you're serious about considering this evidence of fraud, it would be great to get an idea of how much you've shorted since the story came out (or plan on shorting Monday morning). Groupon's stock is down about 6% after this story, and I don't see any comments that indicate that this raises the odds that Groupon will collapse by a mere 6%.

While there are lots of flaws with Groupon's current model, it's not very nice to jump on them for comparatively minor stuff like this.
The amount of things they declared war on..

It feels like bi-weekly they're threatening to "take down" something, and yet, mysteriously, miraculously, these 'targets' remain in tact.

Seriously, how does temporarily DDoSing something actually do anything? Whoa! You temporarily brought down the Westboro's website? All of their visitor must have been slightly inconvenienced for a bit.
The other seems more effective to me. There is a clash between styles that takes away from the reading on this one.
The law is not a computer program; intent is more important than the mechanism.

Imagine a real-world example. Alice wants to murder you. You have a kid. Alice calls you, exactly imitating the voice of your kid, telling you she's trapped under a girder at the abandoned bridge across town. You frantically race across town to free your trapped kid. You get to the bridge and notice it's on the verge of collapsing, and that there's a "no trespassing" sign posted. You ignore that and try to save your kid. You trip over something and that upsets the unstable structure of the bridge. It collapses, crushing you while you fall 3000 feet to your ultimate demise.

Guess what, you were just murdered.

Even though Alice did not physically drive a knife into your heart, she still killed you. She intended to kill you (that's the first part), and then set into a motion a chain of events that resulted in you dying. That's murder.

Going back to our computer example... even though the author of this blog post didn't break into your house and log you out of Google, the result is the same. He intended for you to be logged out of Google without your permission or Google's permission, and you were logged out of Google. Therefore, your computer account was maliciously accessed.

The reality of the situation is that he's in Russia and I doubt Russia gives a damn about this.
What are the most efficient micro-blogging languages?
This shit has to stop. In my current neighborhood, their are a dozen 99c shops (midtown), and no proper slice-a-rias. $1 pizza is a slap in the face to new yorkers. The shit is disrespectful to the city and its residents. It offends me to the core. I do respect the need for people to get a cheap lunch, so I undersand these businesses, but they should be relegated to alleyways. The thought that some tourist may buy a slice at a 99c joint and think it is a proper NY slice just breaks my heart.

Edit: Holy christ, this is my most hated comment ever. I am personally an offensive human being, but I'd love to know why this comment was so hated.
I'm late to this, but: yes.

Or rather, if you say something really offensive, like "Women should be allowed to read books, or even leave the house without covering their faces," it's not offensive because you probably aren't saying it in front of a Shia cleric.

If you say something that's intellectually unfashionable, but the people you talk to are unphased, I just don't understand the case for considering that a bad thing. Who is the wronged party? How were they harmed? What's society's interest in redressing this, and what's our mechanism for doing so?
For some reason during the day and early evening, my mind wanders and I find it incredibly difficult to discipline myself into focusing on the task at hand… unless I'm in an environment like a library. I'm taking these two data points and suggesting that perhaps it's the reduced amount of ambient noise.

Another thought: perhaps as children we're conditioned to be "out doing things" during the day, and as a result the brain desires to be constantly externally stimulated during the day. There's less predefined behaviour for what should occur at night, and as such the brain is at your mercy to utilise as you see fit. Perhaps.
Natural Ways For Treating Candida
Candida is a type of yeast infection which is also called as thrush when it occurs in the mouth. It can also appear because of diaper rash or vaginal yeast infection. Sometimes, it can also appear after the antibiotic destroys beneficial bacteria with harmful bacteria.

This will probably fall on deaf ears because HNers love to hate Groupon but does anyone here realize how difficult it is to account for financials that went from $14 million to $300 million to $1.6 billion over 2 years (with a great deal of it from very recent international acquisitions)?
Crowd-Sourced TSA patdown.
Everyone here seems so satisfied, but to be honest I am still skeptical. It would be nice in the "browse flights wanted" screen you showed some baseline price for the requested flight (e.g. automated kayak search, though i'm guessing that is in violation of their TOS. perhaps you can just have a link to the query) so that potential customers could see some samples of the kind of savings to expect.

I definitely prefer some $1 slices to some expensive slices. I believe there is a strong element of placebo in price.
The window for Desktop Linux has closed. The age of the desktop is ending; smartphones and tablets satisfy the computing needs of many people, and more app markets and low-cost devices will only increase this.
Alternatively you can check the house for movement, lights or noise. It's just as reliable.
But your solution stops being effective at the slightest loss of control of the data. Also, you can't control other people who might get access to it.

How does your public identity being tied to your "real self" helps you if some random person decides to break into your house? How would you feel if people you don't even know started shouting "Happy Birthday" to you on your birthday? How would you feel if those same people started talking about those genital warts you had to treat two years ago?

People will be comfortable sharing anything (identities, actions, personality traits) as long as they feel they have control over who gets access to what is being shared. I fail to see how anyone would feel comfortable sharing everything to everyone.
I think 2 bros' $1 slice is pretty good. Their sauce has a pretty good flavor.

But really, don't you think you're getting awfully emotional about pizza? Every other storefront in Manhattan sells pizza; the good stuff is not going anywhere. This is like someone who flies paid first class getting upset that Ryanair charges $1 for flights. It's just publicity. Things will be back to normal eventually.

This reminds me a great deal of Mark Twain's plan for the improvement of English Spelling:

And I thought the $2.75 slice at that place at 16th and valencia was a good deal.
The 99cent place on 8th and 41st is great. The turnover is high so the pizza is always fresh out of the oven.

Having had a chance to a/b test this, the real problem is that they do actually do this, not that people simply assume they do.

It's real, it happens. Either start learning about how it effects people or continue going through the world blind to these issues. Your call.
I haven't put in the time to become fluent in reading Dotsies (Dotsie?) yet, but find it fascinating. I can imagine a multitouch keyboard made for Dotsies, that could be quite a bit more efficient once learned.

> actually T.S. Eliot

Almost! With context: "One of the surest of tests is the way in which a poet borrows. Immature poets imitate; mature poets steal; bad poets deface what they take, and good poets make it into something better, or at least something different."

I'm also a fan of the way Gilles Deleuze framed it: "Proust says: 'Great literature is written in a sort of foreign language. To each sentence we attach a meaning, or at any rate a mental image, which is often a mistranslation. But in great literature all our mistranslations result in beauty.' This is the good way to read: all mistranslations are good -- always provided that they do not consist in interpretations, but relate to the use of the book, that they multiply its use, that they create yet another language inside its language. 'Great literature is written in a sort of foreign language...' That is the definition of style."

It's interesting to see this occuring. Both of these firms are going to get hurt by this, or worse both will go bankrupt. Even if one firm survives, when they raise their prices, who's to say that their customers won't go to another of the numerous pizza places that are nearby?

I think it's a real lesson for startups - don't let your pride and pig-headedness rule your head, or else that will be the end of your company!

Thanks for the link! I've never studied Korean before, looks quite interesting. I'd also be curious to see if there were a way to merge the phonetically featural traits of Hangul with the narrowly mathematical nature of dotsies. Do update us with where you get to thinking about Chmodish :)
This is a really great point. I have long believed that physical and mental health are so connected to one another. I actually have had this proven to me very recently in two instances.
My mother in law has cancer, and she recently stopped responding to chemo, so she stopped the treatment. Now basically all she can do is fight with sheer will (which she has a LOT of luckily) and she's doing this vegan diet, which has been known to cure some people. The funny thing though, is that she was saying the other day she feels so much more able to fight it now that she's off chemo and not feeling sick all the time. She's feeling like a million bucks, I hope it stays that way...
The other instance is myself; I am currently recovering from my second go with postpartum depression. I am ok now, I actually feel like dynamite too :) but I did have to go on meds for it. It's unreal how it affects you physically. I was sleeping like 16 hours a day for a few weeks, and still exhausted (and I was blessed with a baby that slept through the night at 5 weeks, so it wasn't due to actual sleep deprivation). And now I'm really feeling healthy. Anyone will tell you too, exercise and sleep and diet are some of the keys to keeping depression at bay.

I am fortunate that I live in Alberta, and don't have to go through the woes of the US health care system. I never take our free healthcare for granted. I am sorry for what your friend is going through...

I am hesitant to post this, because from experience, smart people frequently misread or misunderstand it, but:

The easiest first-step solution is just to check the HTTP Referer field, and check it matches your domain.

Yes, this is easily faked by someone crafting their own HTTP requests. This is /not/ easily faked by someone causing your browser to make requests, though. And it provides very good coverage against the attack here.
EC2 may be a bit slow/clunky but at least it isn't a security nightmare like Linode.

Months after and they still haven't said what happened or what they fixed during the Bitcoin theft fiasco.

I wouldn't trust them again with ANY site (former customer).
No, I think I am rightfully emotional about hating $1 pizza. The shit is fine as a cheap lunch, but getting a real NY slice is part of the reason tourists come to NY. It would be a fucking travesty if they thought they were getting a proper slice at a $1 shop.

Would it be okay if in Maine a bunch kiosks opened up selling $1 lobster rolls that were just fake seafood? Of course not.

Edit: I do think you are right about 2 Bros. Their $1 slice is respectable.
Why is 99c pizza is not proper NY slice? That's what NY is. It's part of the NYC culture.
Privacy matters will only get worse and worse. At the end of the day, we are actually buying perfect snooping devices (cam, mic, gps) and wearing them 24/7. With our own money. And for the benefit of others, strangers or institutions.
Well, more than anybody else you know it well why most of the failures happened.

But for others. I can understand the obvious disappointment. But Perl 6 is designed such that without many of those failures we couldn't have figured it out earlier what it would take to build Perl 6. Perl 6 has a mutable grammar, which means it should be written in itself. And this created a huge problem, because you don't have ready tools in hand to build such a thing. Many of them had to be built from scratch. And people failed many times exploring strategies doing that. Some people got ill, some people lost jobs, and projects like this which span a lot of time and require volunteer effort without much funding takes toll on people.

In many ways there was a lead, Lisp is so extensible because its written in itself. We really should have understood this from history. But achieving that in a non homoiconic language was difficult and required thinking in direction totally new to C based languages.

But great things have come out of it. Audrey's Pugs taught us so many things. And as she says, the 'Perl 6 on CPAN' thing started long back. Moose has become a very awesome tool for OO programming. Other things borrowed from Perl 6, things like given/when have shown a way to Perl 5 for evolution. Devel::Declare showed a new way to do syntax experiments outside core without using source filters. And many great things have come out of it. Its difficult to imagine how Perl 5 will likely evolve over time.

A few years back none of us could have seen Devel::Declare or even Moose coming. I can only imagine how Perl 5 is going to evolve over time.

Lastly I would say Rome was not built in a day. Perl 6 will take time, but it will come out in some years to come.
That won't work without javascript, and then you need another URL to fallback to that'll respond to GET requests for non-javascript browsers. And then you could just XSRF the non-javascript URL.

This is the better advertisement than what either of the two pizza joints could have bought. A little bit of neighborhood rivalry, costing each of them probably a few hundred dollars per day got them in NYT.
I think the story is the comedic insanity that slices of pizza seem to be inducing in New York. Soon there will follow prank wars and unlikely sitcom plots. Eventually something will set off the Great New York City Pizza Riots of 2012. Billy Joel's Miami 2017 is just around the corner... trying to get the melted cheese out of its hair.
World Backup Day - March 31st
Idiots! Raise the price but do it together.
I'm just amused that people make decisions on where to buy pizza slices on a 25 cent difference. Even the slightest difference in quality and I'll pay a quarter more.
> The idea with chording is you press symbols simultaneously to write an entire word

That's not typically the case - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chording_keyboard.

> this is how stenographers are able to type >300wpm

Stenography is very fast, but can't replace a normal keyboard (i.e. you wouldn't want to use MS Word with it or code with it). Also it has a large learning curve and can vary from person to person.

> using multiple keys to type a single character, which is an interesting hack, but ergonomically a step back

On the other hand, you don't have to move your fingers around - they stay in one place. And it makes possible a very large number of key combinations (when using both hands) that can be used as optional shortcuts for typing common words.
That Indian's indignant attitude and desire to have a law to protect him is infuriating.
Here's an article claiming the best dollar slice in Manhattan is at Percy's in Greenwich Village, which I haven't tried yet:

http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/food/the_best_slice_in...

I think the most interesting point is that all pizzerias in New York City will soon be either the <$1 places or the higher end places like Artichoke, with not a lot in between. A $1 slice place moved into my neighborhood, and then there were 2, and it's clear that some of the other pizza places are getting hammered - one sent their daughter out on the street handing out leaflets. Of course, that place isn't very good, either, so it's hard to cry them a river.
Based on the number of tourists I hear getting directions to Times Square, I can't imagine many of them are here for the authentic New York experience.
Hi saucerful,

We used to do this, but there was too much contention around the base price. Imagine if we showed a base price of $1000 and on your favourite search engine you saw $950. This created an adversarial situation with our flyers.

Then we had the issue of a specific requirement in the comments (e.g. I'm relocating to another country with my two pets). The experts would put up the full cost of flying with the pets, but then our base price would undercut them because no flight API handles pets.

Then we used virtual assistants to find the base prices considering the comments, but of course they couldn't interpret the comments properly. E.g. someone said they didn't want red-eye flights, but the VA didn't understand what that meant and gave a red-eye price that was hundreds below the expert prices.

Sorry for the long reply, but would love to hear any suggestions around this. At the moment we're trying to create a better flyer-expert relationship.
My guess is that this would cause customers to move to altogether different pizza shops that have focused on (or maintained) higher quality under a more reasonable price constraint.
It's a fair a point but baby steps are required. A group of women founders doing women-y things is far better than no women founders. These will open the door for others in the future.
TC has written a dedicated post to virtually every single YC startup from every batch for the last several years. We did about a dozen posts on Demo Day alone this week. So writing one article that points out that YC is more diverse than it used to be out of the 100 or so we will probably ultimately write about companies from this class seems reasonable to me.
