Couple of years ago I have lived in Korea for one month. Their daily food doesn't include produced salt, sugar and carbs. If you want salt you have to eat ocean algae. If you want sugar grab some fruit juice. Do you need carb, go get a steamed rice. Also they consume lots of gabbage usually in Kimchy form which I believe helps to decrease LDL levels. I know because after returned back my LDL levels were in normal levels. Normally I am suffering from high LDL.

In my experiments (on my own) I can say that walnut and stinging nettle also helps to lower bad cholesterol. (btw I don't have medical profession, don't get this as advice.)

I saw lots of people who eats animal fat all the time and have low levels of LDL. Even though I did diet, I couldn't maintain LDL in normal levels. I have to use medication. I believe it is highly related with genetic factors and somehow some people's body couldn't handle things as expected. A bug that we cannot fix. The only way is monkey patching.
The air is much thinner but they made a manned plane fly 85000 feet high at Mach 3.3 in the 70s. It wouldn't probably be that hard to make an unmanned drone capable of flying on Mars.

To transport and ensure it's operational by the time it gets there, might be a completely different matter, though.
Well, it's deterministic, until you get surprised:

I wish there was some way to express meta data like 'best paper' from trusted sources into the web crawler space. This is an excellent compilation, and I've added a half dozen papers to my tablet for later reading, but its a human compilation. My thought is whether there might be an opportunity to flag something such that a web crawler could automatically compile this sort of list.

Challenges I see to that would be spam injection and author spoofing.
Still, you pay a one-time cost of reading the manual, then the ongoing benefit of using a nicer UI. With cURL you pay the one-time cost of reading its manual, but also pay the ongoing cost of dealing with its unintuitive, verbose, and generally less human-friendly UI.

JSON encoding is a sensible default these days for a tool to be used by humans, though I agree there's a good "principle of least surprise" argument for defaulting to plain HTTP POST. It would also be nice if it had a setting between "interpret response as JSON" and "uglify the response", but OTOH those additional formats are good opportunities for user-contributed patches.
It is fairly evident that you have an extreme PayPal bias and that you are arguing in desperation rather than logic.

Take a moment to think about the fact that you cited something completely un-innovative. Then think about the fact that not only was Paypal 6 years late to the party, but they couldn't even maintain it for more than 4 years.

Thus not only proving whatever extra "innovation" they had for their clone was not very innovative, they also failed on the execution. And to top it off, there are still others offering it.

And if you are going to argue that anything unique is innovative, I have a lollipop attached to wheels with a whistle at the center of the stick to sell you.
Does the name mean anything? I guess it's an anagram of statsd, but it's tough on the eyes.

Maybe I'm just not seeing them, but this seems to be missing some of my favorite graphite features.

- Combining multiple metrics on a single graph

- Filters (e.g. lowestCurrent)

- Graph labels and resizing

Is there a feature like graphite events?
Why do you think that? It lacks most of the killer features.
Eh, I didn't like it (I gave up somewhere in season 2). To be clear: Walt is supposed to be a bad guy, right? I really didn't like him. It's very tiring watching a show where the central character is someone you're rooting against the whole time. My guess is the series is a general arc showing the fall of Walt, yes?

I like some shows/movies where you're hoping the antagonist succeeds (usually Heist-type movies), but I just couldn't do it here. Ever since the middle of season one where he was given the out (the rich couple offered to pay) I just couldn't stand him. At that point it's all about watching a trainwreck in very slow motion, and is kind of depressing. I can't wait multiple seasons to see him arrested or killed or whatever will end up happening to him!

I run Arch on my 9-cell-equipped T430 and get ~8 hours with wifi, reasonable screen brightness, and light load. That's very close to the advertised life.
Oh come on man, don't tell me it's free. Tell me what numbers I can go up to before you give me the "phone call" (if that, you could go Google and just shut stuff off without any notification or warning of any kind) telling me I've hit some sort of API limit.

The ambiguity is like that Oracle Linux debacle.

I don't even really care if you intend on living in fantasy-land and never intend on charging for the service (get real), at least give me some idea of what the limitations are.

I like the live demo though, good idea.

I want to use your service but you need to set up some clearly defined boundaries. I'm not some sort of enterprise-wonk trying to hold you to an uptime contract, I'm a startup guy trying to make certain he's not hinging stuff his company uses on something overly uncertain.
Definition I was using was that is was a very the structure has alot of air gaps and that the video shows bits breaking of just from a little bounce.

That said brittle is not realy scientific so I'll bow to that and kudos for the wiki link, covers potentual usage as well - thank you.

It's an acronym for statsd indeed. Tough on the eyes yet easy to remember I think... Not the best name ever I admit :)

- Combining graph is one of the biggest missing feature at the moment. We'll have simultaneous hover very soon to kind to help with that, and we'll work on combining the graphs right after! (useful for scale of course!)

- On timers you have the main "filters" built-in: min, max, 0.1 / 0.9 percentile and average. The filters are more an UI challenge than anything else so we should be able to iterate on that. We wanted to get something out fast!

- Graph resizing: same as above. The sky's the limit, we're using d3.js and it's pretty awesome but we wanted to limit ourselves to the core features for this first release!

Thanks a bunch for your comments they're really useful!
Likewise, on DDG, !w <term> searches wikipedia for something, while !hn <term> searches hnsearch for something. And I never had to configure anything. The best part about DDG is what someone mentioned earlier in the thread, the fact that so many sites are already in the list. If I've never searched Stack Overflow before, I can !so just based on a guess, and most of the time it is right.
It's not a general patent on tablet shapes it's a registered design which covers the actual product itself. Which seems like a better system as outright product pirates will clearly run afoul wheras category copying the general shape etc. is allowed.
Free for now. For now, we're thinking of a $1-2 / stat / month price point with free first 5 stat/months.

Still a lot of discovery to do before we get a clear pricing. Not a priority RIGHT NOW, will become one rapidly.

We're free because we're in beta. Won't stay free. It's a promess. We may open source the whole thing though. Not contradictory at all.

Glad you liked the demo! :)
So the point was that two factors may not be required (security for security's sake is a waste of resource). But let's go with the cellphone thing for a minute. I'm assuming you'd use it to send some sort of OTP to the user.

Imagine the route that token takes - from your server across the internet to an SMS service (a channel you might secure using TLS/SSL).

From there to any one of an arbitrary number of network operators, again over the public internet. You've no control over this leg. From there the token travels through the network operator's network, to a switch, and then over the GSM network to the handset.

There are at least two places there where you can launch a man in the middle attack.

Which brings me back to the threat model - understanding the value of the asset you're protecting will tell you whether the cost [1] of such an authentication scheme is worth it. Oh, and the cellphone-based OTP is of course an additional asset this authentication scheme introduces.

[1] Cost is not just the cost/per SMS. It's also the cost of developing/aquiring the technology, and then maintaining it and the infrastructure that supports it.

Hyperanalyzing the one bullet point is itself the petty and pointless act. Whether PayPal has done anything innovative in 10 years does not hinge on whether virtual MasterCard numbers worked out for them. It was a quick comment, written in 2 minutes, that you're now attempting to pull apart a single sentence of under a microscope. It's an ultimate display of pedantry.

Everyone else got the point, the ridiculousness of the implication that the company has been stagnant since the eBay acquisition, while in reality they've pushed every boundary of the original company -- geographically into every continent, web to mobile to brick-and-mortar, peer-to-peer personal into merchant services, mid-ticket to up to volume and down to micropayments, service to platform provider with PayPal X.

The whole original story got 87 votes. My quick comment rebuffing the idea PayPal has been stagnant got over 50. Most people seemed to appreciate the information it conveyed, imperfectly as any top-of-the-head list written in 2 minutes would. Only you felt the need to pull off a bullet point and make quips about it. You missed the point.

traffic is not a big issue since we have pre-aggregation client-side. So you can aggregate 5 event / hour or 10 millions it's all the same for DaTtSs... and it does not kill your network stack

As far as retention is concerned let say we aim for 1 month history. Might be more if people say they want it but we believe the value is in the analysis of what is happening now.

Make sense?
Personally I just do what I'm passionate about, and that's it. I don't categorize my passions and expect my passions to be more than 5 or 10.

Simply find what you love doing.

Things in life change and 10 years from now you'll have different interests. Cultivate the things your interested in now and don't over stress yourself with having to learn all those disciplines - things will come with time.
No. Stop it. There are degrees of badness, and degrees of risk; decapitation is worse than getting a scraped knee, and car accidents are more common than cases of people being devoured by sharks. If we want to do right by everyone, and prevent horrible things from happening, but we have limited resources, then we've got to focus on things that are bad, common, and at least partially preventable.

If you understate some risks and overstate others, then you misallocate resources -- and if those resources are substantial enough to make a difference, this means that people get hurt and die because you were wrong about the severity and probability of risks. This is something where you can and should try to be right.
Me too!

You start out rooting for Walt to succeed and then you watch his ego consume him. I'm through the first 3 seasons (waiting for the 4th here in England) and it's definitely worth watching more. From what I've read about Season 4 (and the Season 5 trailers) Walt goes insane. Season 2 is very tame (re: Walt's behaviour) vs. Season 3 and beyond.
> Why draw lines when it would benefit more people to refrain from doing so?

Being rich does not negate all of the issue that people of color face. Class and white privilege are not the same nor mutually exclusive. They are intersectional and related. When a person of color wants to do something to empower other people of color, that doesn't make them a racist. To say that since some people of color are poor means that a program must be for all poor people is a form of moving the goal posts and derailing.

> There are real people who aren't accurately represented by such statistics and making decisions solely on said statistics is unfair to them.

Statistics tell us the same thing people of color do: they are not treated equally and face racial discrimination, micro and macro, all the time. There is a reason why people of color have less access and opportunity to engage in tech.

Nope, the solution I posted doesn't use SMS - in fact, it's completely offline. You could have the phone in airplane mode.

It essentially generates a code based on a pre-shared secret and the current time.

As for the costs, as I said there's plenty of free client applications (Google Authenticator is just the most well known), and not only there are plenty of libraries that you can use on your server, as the RFC that details TOTP provides an implementation in less than 50 short lines of code (+ Java boilerplate); see http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6238

And you just need that, plus an extra field in your data store for each user (to store the secret) and a textbox in the login page.

You can calculate some effects, like intensity of radiation and pressure waves, but others, like lethality, and trickier. Within a certain range of radii, your chances of survival depend strongly on where you are and what you're doing. Are you in a building sturdy enough to not collapse on you? Is there anything heavy that might fall on you? Are you near a window? Will the building catch fire?

Has anyone ever spent any time over at: http://marsanomalyresearch.com/ ? Thoughts?
no, he doesn't say you need to become PG's best friend:

"They are most likely the smartest people I have ever worked with before. Both have a focus and determination I’m constantly blown away by. I cling onto their enthusiasm, try to learn from their skillset as much as I can and get myself lifted onto the next level: purely by being in the same room with them whilst working away on Buffer."

He says you should be friend with the next PGs. There is a huge difference. Everybody wants to befriend someone after they are successful; what you want is friends that want to be successful (and are working to get successful). Because, for example, these new friends will never ask you times and times again: "so why don't you get a job?".
