>Vegans who are vegans for health reasons - dumb dumb dumb. A cursory biological examination of the human body demonstrates that we are omnivores. That means the human body has adapted over tens of millions of years to eat both plants and animals.

I don't think humans have been around that long and that our ancestors were probably not meat eaters, since most other apes don't eat meat.

The consensus is that red meat is unhealthy and there are healthier alternatives to get similar nutrients. Instead of eating other meat as well, soy provides a similar amount of protein without the saturated fat or cholesterol.

There's also the impact the meat industry has on the environment and I think the reason for someone being vegan isn't just necessarily one thing but can be several reasons for their decision.
I agree that this is a new and daunting technology, but its also technically grounded at this point. I think the problems people have with it ( extensive knowledge needed to use it ) will be fixed iteravly, but will need a major change to the platform.
Yeah we do, which covers our 'lets just put the TV on'.
I have 2 fake account and a real account. The fakes are used for testing. I believe the 83Million number is understated and that should be at least double. I know of 3 separate individuals that have multiple accounts. One personal and one for business.
Of course anything can be better, but let's be realistic about what's broken and what isn't.

Fine.

But I'm going to hold on to my fantasy of wanting an app that does in bits what a secretary used to do in real life.

It's much worse than you'd think. I don't have proof or specific details, but I've heard from someone in the know that it is common for IV to set up a chain of 20-or-so companies, owning each other, transferring property, etc -- and all in different jurisdictions (counties, states, contries!).

It's a legal "obscurity amplifier" - setting up these structures is relatively cheap and easy ($1K/year/shell, so $20K/year or so if you're not versed in the processes; IV can probably do that for a quarter of the price).

Piercing this structure is likely to cost >$100K and perhaps even >$500K - you have to file for piercing in each jurisdiction independently, and you cannot file in one jurisdiction until you've been granted in the previous one -- you don't even know which jurisdiction it is going to be!
We absolutely believe that the best way to resolve an issue is to communicate face-to-face with your boss. The problem is that there are many reasons why someone doesn't feel comfortable in doing so. Thus, we've created this outlet as a starting place. Also, while this tool might not be for you, I don't think that invalidates the idea. Might others not share your confidence in addressing any issue with their boss?

One outcome we'd like to see from this tool is for conversations that begin anonymously to end in person. In other words, that we're helping initially build the trust to bring employee and manager together in person.

We have a feedback mechanism for both sides of the conversation to indicate whether - as a result of the conversation - the issue has been resolved, worsened or improved. We'd like to see a lot of "resolved."

No, the moral and jurisdictional obligation is for a service to avoid sticking their nose into unrelated business to extract more value. Gas stations don't demand a percentage of your salary for using their gas to drive to work. Communications has long had the concept of a demarcation point, it's unfortunate that we've got to be hassled while the carriers avoid rediscovering it.
I started working out recently (about 8 weeks ago) and I'm now following this protocol: http://leangains.com

My energy is up, I'm loosing weight (I work out very morning) and feeling great. I do find that I'm having a bit of trouble concentrating, but is getting better everyday.

If I manage to concentrate as I did before using leangains, this is by far the best I've felt in years.
that is just the advice I needed. thank you.

Everyone has been pestering me to setup a more managed hosting solution; it's a good idea, with enough bulk I could do it both profitably and cheaply. But it'd take just as much effort, if not more, than my current unmanaged ventures, so it's not happening without help (and a big customer to get started)

But yeah, I feel like just the meetings have been badly impacting my productivity on my unmanaged hosting business. It's a completely different mindset. I mean, it's kindof fun? but right now is a realy hot time; opportunity costs are very high.

Thanks for all the great resources. I will admit that design is not my strong point, but the backend and features are all there, that it's pretty easy to revamp the entire design. I'm going to look into twitter bootstrap and maybe paying for a theme or even finding a designer.

Also, I may very well send you can e-mail later on. Thanks a lot!

Edit: I missed the privacy part. That is kind of interesting.
Here's a scenario for you:

New feature is being developed. When ready, a marketing campaign will be launched to bring in the customers. This is done through tv-spots - which must be booked months in advance. Booking them before the feature is done would be disastrous. Waiting until it is done, before booking would mean months of lost opportunity.
Remind me to schedule a 4:30 coffee meeting with you next time I'm in town. I want to see if you'll be able to put together a complete sentence after 21 shots of espresso in a single day.

Yup, respect, empathy and congruence.

Be respectful, understand that it might be hard to hear your feedback and try and word it in the most direct way possible.

I think i might be missing another thing, but I forget. Those three things will get you far though.

Not sure that I agree with them being in a position 'above' you though. You are both adults. They might have more responsibility than you, but that does not mean that they are 'above' you. I treat every single person in the company I work for as an equal, from the junior consultants to the MD and chairman of the board. I also expect them to treat me the same.

That's probably a misunderstanding based on most US carriers using CDMA rather than GSM (like most of the rest of the world).
Wow, this is really cool. I actually prefer this to watching broadcast news. You get the same feeling, but the ability to skip stories I'm not interested in makes the whole process way smoother.

Of all the things you can measure yourself by, I think twitter followers should probably pretty far down on the list.

Your profile on HN says you've founded a mobile consulting company but doesn't give URL. Most of your blog posts are 'pearls of wisdom' types but there isn't a whole lot about you, so people really can't evaluate your advice within their own personal value analysis.

21 of 30 of the latest submissions you've made here are to your own blog,

Please don't misunderstand this statement, you are not 'real' yet.

If you look at any one of the leaders here, or the folks in the tech industry, you will find a strong correlation with people for whom celebrity is an artifact of their execution against their goals, it has nothing to do with 'them' per se.

Here is a sure fire plan to having a million twitter followers:

1) Build a company from nothing to a multi-million dollar exit where you personally take home at least $10M. This will instantly get you 1 million followers of the 'shallow, gosh I wish I were rich like you, I've got this killer idea but just need a few thousand to get if off the ground' types.

This takes no time to go from 0 to a million followers, post big payday.

2) Take a job in broadcast journalism, and then take an extreme political view (right, left it doesn't matter just tailor it to the folks on that side who thing the media is an opposite-wing conspiracy to keep the truth from coming out.)

This takes probably 6 months from the time you accept the position to the time the number of real journalists complaining about you reaches into the hives of conspiracy enclaves.

3) Find your passion and devote all your time and energy to it, share your joy of discovery and your passion in your writing and your friends.

This will take years, maybe even decades.

HN is not a place to do #1 or #2, perhaps another site can help you out there.

Well, that would make no sense in comparison as having a certain level of open API access is not the same thing as giving away your entire business. In fact, if you do it well, surely it drives costumers to you as it widens their available exposure.

Cool, thanks for the advice. I didn't even realize upgrading memory was so easy. I have a 2010 unibody, and Apple claims the maximum memory it supports is 8gb. Is that not really "true?"
What I find most interesting is someone with 1.3m Twitter followers is having so little of her music streamed, I assume that this is because the majority of her fans purchase her music? I notice she has a Bandcamp account. I think it would be great to see her Bandcamp sales figures too as a point of reference, and ideally an explanation of how being available on Spotify / Pandora affected her sales figures.

She's also posted some more stats here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AkasqHkVRM1OdEJ...

Responsive Design
Pretty neat showing of responsive design here on rang.com ... Maybe one of the coolest i've seen ever. Log in, then drag your browser window to make it as skinny as possibly. The entire layout transforms into an iPhone-esk responsive design. Pretty neat. rang.com
Great article. I'll have to play around with some of these ideas and see how they work out.
I'll definitely be revamping the UI in the near future. Also, a random note, but there are a lot of subtle features such as no pages (you just keep scrolling), easy category exploration (items show up immediately on the right as you browse categories), auto-completion, table headers that always stay at the top, and other little UI things that don't show up until you have at least a few items in the system. It's many of those things that make it much more enjoyable to use compared with other solutions (at least, in terms of what me and a few others who have used it a bit more extensively think). I think the overall UI may be discouraging people before they even realize that all those other features exist. On that note, do you think putting a public demo that's populated with much more data would be a good idea? The biggest problem is that public demos are a bit outlet for spam and other abuse.

"I find that I'm really wanting clearer, and more compelling calls to action." -- I was wondering what you meant by this.

Also, I have been reaching out to small business owners and I actually have a restaurant owner who is interested. Whether he ends up using it or not, I hope he'll be able to provide some good feedback.

EDIT: Also, I was curious if you have any further thoughts about the representation of the inventory. Right now, it displays items as tables with the ability to customize what attributes you see while browsing (this can be changed by clicking your name in the upper right hand corner). When you say to explore other representations, are you saying to work more on just the displaying of the tabular data or coming up with some sort of hybrid-list-table thing?
You're not counting satellite, which has been taking market share away from cable. As of 2011, 60.4% of households have cable, and 31.1% of households have "alternative distribution systems," almost all of which is satellite, like DirecTV and DISH. Safe to assume that very few households have both cable and satellite, so about 90% of households have pay TV.

Everything that Didier Sornette writes is worth reading, if you can understand it. His explanations are very clear, yet quite terse.

If you are into mathematical finance, geophysics, modeling of economics and/or social phenomena, complex systems (especially with respect to catastrophies), go read Sornette now.

The reference from the parent is his only "philosophical" publication as far as I know. Does anyone know of any others?

Don't do this, unless your boss has specifically opted into a service like this.

First, if you need to use a service like this to get stuff across to your boss, this is my feedback to you:

Fix yourself (specifically the issue you have bringing stuff up with your boss) or (if they're the reason you feel like you can't talk to them about something) find a new boss. No amount of anonymous feedback is going to fix a poor relationship with your boss. And it's probably not going to fix the other stuff, either.

Anonymous feedback is terrible:

- It's too easy for a manager to disregard or mentally down-vote as being from a bad apple or someone they don't see eye-to-eye with.

- Without being able to put your feedback in context of who you are, where you're coming from, and what your relationship is with them, it could also make what you're saying a lot more hurtful than you mean it to be. For example, they might think it was from someone else. And maybe your feedback, coming from someone else they work more closely with, would really hit a nerve for some reason.

- It also seems unthoughtful to deliver anonymous feedback to someone without giving them some way of addressing the feedback, perhaps giving you some feedback of their own, should they think the feedback was flawed in some way.

Instead, we need to be having real conversations. If those aren't working, maybe you're in the wrong place.

I would counter that with "it should be priced in". If Facebook really could deliver you 100% of your target demographic, the price should be X. If in reality, only 90% are in your target demo, then the price should be 90% less. You aren't harmed unless it's not priced in.

I'm no expert and I've only really glanced at that, but doesn't look like it shows a colourblind person what colours look like to others, it just changes the colours of something to different colours that stand out better against each other.

For that matter, unless someone either goes from normal to colourblind, or colourblind to not, is it actually possible to ever do this? Assuming the transformation isn't possible... how do you describe "red" to someone who can't see "red"? Even if you find the exact colour that, for a colourblind person looks like "red", how do you know you've found it, how does the colourblind person know?
It's weird to address the issue of anonymity, by starting out with "I KNOW WHERE YOU LIVE".
You're not only out of the loop, you're under a rock if you haven't even heard of Don Knuth before and you're in the computer science world at all. (I guess if you're just a humble web programmer ignorance is understandable.) His material is not for Ivy League students, it's for anyone interested in computer science itself rather than just programming. A "fascicle" is the book-form of a new episode in a television series' season, you learned a new word! (I guess only Ivy League students like learning new words? I'm not one but I like to learn new words.) It's part of the ongoing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAOCP You did understand "volume 4" I hope, which indicates there is a volume 1, 2, and 3. There are also other inferences you can make from the use of "volume" as opposed to another word (like "part").

For your assertion that it should link to a page describing what it is, I think you're wrong and I don't think you addressed my point about that being less efficient. Even in your case, I think it's more efficient this way. I don't think you would understand much in the submission without a lot of googling, and that's if you're even interested in understanding (which I doubt given your resistance to merely typing "define:fascicle" into Google) in the first place. A blog post describing the work would tell you as much, but since you didn't even understand the title, you already knew that you likely wouldn't understand the work. (Gods help you if you're on Windows and can't read PS files without downloading stuff from websites you've never visited.) An incomprehensible (to you) title saved you time. It's better for you this way. You did ruin your potential efficiency gains by spending time complaining about the submission type in the comments, much more time than it would take to google the parts of the title you didn't understand, but you knew that already when you ventured to the comments (which people seem to do regardless of the format of the content--I know I often get more out of the comments than the submission itself and sometimes will skip the submission entirely).

Edit: I will grant that there is an additional improvement to the title. Adding to the end "on Satisfiability". Which wouldn't help anyone not inclined to google but does at least say more specifically what it's about.
