What affiliate network are you referring to?

That's fair. I should have written ad network, not affiliate network.

Don't think teeth-whitening products are a good fit for your audience? Don't run those ads.

It's not that those ads wouldn't be appropriate for my audience, but that they are not appropriate in email marketing at all. I'm pretty sure that any list that runs that ad will get marked as spam. Then, any other email that contains any links similar to that spam email will also get marked as spam. At a very small scale, one could probably get away with it for a little bit, but I don't think it will work on a large scale.

TL;DR - Americans are too stupid to handle magnets safely. Therefore we have to ban this product.

Anybody knows more about how this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standards_Eastern_Automatic_Com...

"SEAC was demonstrated in April 1950, and in May 1950 it went into full production, making it the first fully functional stored-program electronic computer in the US."

and this

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stored-program_computer

"On May 6, 1949 the EDSAC in Cambridge ran its first program, and due to this event, it is considered "the first complete and fully operational regular electronic digital stored-program computer"

fit together?

Who made then the first real stored-program computer?
True. But we don't know the source of those donations.

And seriously PJ's bias shows through on her blog pretty loud and clear.

Wdewind, I'm sorry you found the website misleading. Our research indicates that a large majority of smartphone users carry their phone with them when they are shopping (and virtually everywhere else they go outside the home). For these users, Echo can replace all the rest of their payment cards.

We hoped that between the FAQ section and the How section, the fact that Echo can only hold three cards at a time was made clearly enough. Perhaps it was not.

Thanks for the feedback. We'll consider ways of clarifying this point on our website.

There are about 10000 things that are toxic if swallowed. Household cleaning supplies, toothpicks, you name it. Warnings do nothing, the kinds of people or children who swallow them aren't going to be reading warnings.

The paradoxical thing is that the complete abandonment of personal responsibility (no parent is responsible for watching their child) is coupled with a requirement that the business owner assume superhuman levels of responsibility (devising his product in such a way that it is bad-parent-proof).
This is very true, and its shocking sometimes to realize how your "ownership" of physical property can be restricted by third parties.

The key difference between physical property and intellectual property is the ease of rights enforcement. It's easy to detect when someone has infringed your rights on your own physical property. The progress of the internet, on the other hand, makes it constantly harder to detect and punish infringement of intellectual property rights. It is still unknown whether reversing this trend will retard the potential of the Internet, but certain recent legislative attempts lead me to believe so.

I think that the debate will ultimately turn on the question of ease of enforcement. All the philosophical trappings of whether certain rights should be granted is irrelevant if they can't be granted.
Not really. If the rover is on the side of Mars facing away from the Sun, it's almost always facing away from the Earth, too, since the Earth is deeper inside the solar system.

Facing the Earth and facing the sun are highly correlated. Seeing one xor the other is possible, but unusual.
I always do it; never sure if it actually had any impact.
In my mind, it is PAINFULLY obvious that swallowing two of these will require surgical removal.

What I'm more interested in, actually, is what happens if you swallow just one? Are these magnets strong enough to influence / interfere with the iron in your blood?

Strong magnets are REALLY cool, and REALLY fun. The closest damn thing to magic, in my opinion. I think I'm going to go buy some of these balls before they get banned...
Seriously? The combined annual budget of CIA, NSA, FBI, Pentagon, occupation forces, etc. is around two trillion $ per year, but they don't have the infrastructure ...

They sent out what I thought was a very well done support email for this feature:

Hi friend,

We've made some REALLY BIG changes to the way that notifications work at GitHub.

We're sending you this email because we love you. Also, the amount of email you receive from GitHub notifications is going to change and we want to make sure you don't miss anything important. First, check out the new notification settings:

https://github.com/settings/notifications

You can configure which notifications are sent via email, and which email address they're sent to (per organization!).

Which repositories do you receive notifications from? Any repository you're watching. You can manage the list here:

https://github.com/watching

Going forward this page will be the home base for understanding which notifications you receive. You're automatically watching a bunch of repositories based on your permissions — it's probably a good idea to go through and unwatch repositories you're not interested in.

Check out our blog post to learn more about our new notification system, our new stars feature and improvements to notification emails:

Information is power. And the guys in and around CIA are starving for power.
"Instead of including modules by complicated pathing like require('../../../shared/utils'), it’s much simpler to require('utils'). Utils can be symlinked from another folder in the source tree so that you can continue to actively develop it and the changes will be reflected in the dependent modules."

This sounds like a maintenance nightmare when you start juggling lots of code.
If you know anything about small children, they like to pick up stuff off the ground and eat it. I had these in my office and was constantly losing them on the floor. Now, if you do that at a house with kids...

Also, a stupid person eating them probably won't eat them in that pattern, finding one by accident, then another an hour later after the first has advanced through the system ahead of the second, which is how the flesh gets pinched eventually.
Considering that the Gitmark Chrome extension has been doing the equivalent of "starring" for a long time, than yeah, I'd say it's probably not that hard.

My initial impression is it's a little confusing.

Getting to the starred lists and to the watched lists require a considerably different navigation. (e.g. why is there a "Stars" tab beside the "Issues" tab but no "Watch" tabs? Why are my own repos starred instead of watched?)

I hope they'll make it easier.

Music distribution is an unnecessary service these days; people can and will distribute music freely when left alone.

Music creation is still an unsolved problem. Previously, financing of music creation was tied to distribution. Now that distribution is unnecessary, we need to rethink how society should promote not only creation of music, but of all intellectual capital.
It's the old "reasonable man" test that the courts use. A reasonable man knows that guns are dangerous.

On the other hand, a reasonable man may not realize that swallowing magnets are far more dangerous than swallowing similar objects that aren't magnetic.

Sounds like the benefits of signing up to a label outweigh the downsides...hence why they are still signing up for labels in the first place. Everything might not be puppy dogs and ice cream between the artists and the labels, but the current popular are have still signed to the majors because they provide the backing and infrastructure to take them to the next level which they don't think they can do on their own.
I imagine this is just an unresolvable difference of opinion, but I don't believe in taking credit (any credit) for things I didn't actively take part in.

The sum contribution of your average American citizen to NASA's amazing success was to fulfil their legal obligation to pay tax. Congratulations, you didn't break the law :-P

My country has a fairly decent healthcare system, funded by taxes, including my own. It would be idiotic for me to somehow claim credit for this healthcare system, simply because I didn't actively take part in tax evasion. I can take a tiny bit credit for our ambulances though, because I actively and voluntarily donate my money to help keep them running, but even then any credit is minuscule to the point of not being worth mentioning (except to contrast the previous example).
I really don't think Google built Apple's Mail.app client. Do you have any link or information about this?
Little late to the game :-) I had a ticket in for this 2 years ago.
Hm, NSA, possibly. FBI, no. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2012/07/how-fb... CIA, probably not much better off, for the same reasons.
Listen, in life you just need to find "your thing." Your thing can be anything that you enjoy doing, or feel like you're good at. Everybody has a "thing", whether or not they know it. Sometimes I hear people say that they wish they were good at something, or had a hobby. Well, they are good at something, they just have to find it. So, find your thing and during your free time you really need to make an effort to do that thing on a regular basis. It can be running, fishing, programming, hanging out with family and friends - just something to take you away from work and stress. Working a job, 8 hours a day or more, can be difficult to unwind from. But neglecting to unwind will catch up with you eventually, and I always felt like it hit me in the form of depression or just a general negative attitude.

If programming is your "thing" but yet you program at work, as well, like me, then this can be pretty difficult. If this is your scenario, I'd suggest switching it up completely, at home. Venture into some unknown language all together on a platform that you're not familiar with, even. Forget the JVM. If you stick to something that is close to what you do at your stressful job then I feel like your mind may never fully relax, even at home. I've been having a ton of fun learning how to program iphone applications over the past week. It's something I've wanted to do for a long time but always felt like the barrier to entry was high, because of the OSX requirement, the funky Objective-C language, the clunky Xcode IDE. But, newer versions of Xcode and the Objective-C compiler have become really awesome, actually. For me, iphone app dev is a slightly crazy but interesting combination of visual coding, because there's a lot of weird things like "shift click and drag a line from this GUI element over to this line of text in your code to create some very important delegate connection", combined with your typical programming but in a awkwardly funky language syntax - it's all pretty fun, really.

Just some thoughts. Good luck!
Commenting with it too as was unhappy with the HN app I was using - took a minute to work out how to reply though :-)
Nobody said guns were toys. Also, you can't swallow guns.

Probably. I view stars as bookmarks; there's no need to bookmark your own repos (and not really any added benefit, unless you have hoards of repos).

I find it hard to believe that Google had/has anything to do with the Mail app in iOS. It seems awfully tied to Mail.app on the desktop which certainly has nothing to do with Google. I'm open to evidence suggesting otherwise.
There is a good argument to be made on his side. But it's a business decision on what adds the most value for people.

For most people, they aren't (and don't want to be) experts in payment processing. Improving their product moves the needle by more than 1% for the same (or less) effort than spending time on payment processing.

Formula 1 and Predictive Analytics

I had the same question. So I dug into the download page source and found an itms-services:// link pointing to a plist. This type of plist gives info about an app and points to an IPA which contains the app bundle itself. I've worked with enterprise certs before, and this was one of the ways we would initiate the intalls from a webpage.

So my guess is that they are indeed using an enterprise certificate. Though I can't be 100% sure, I can't think of anything else that would be done this way.

I was always under the impression that Apple required companies to have at least 500 employees to qualify for an enterprise cert. But, it looks like they might have lifted that restriction, which is fantastic.

A formal model of how the software is supposed to behave. Models can be proven to have certain properties (e.g. deadlock-free, cruise control always turns off when brake is hit), while with software you're usually limited to testing. A proof guarantees that the software works for all possible inputs, whereas when testing only some inputs are tried.

To model individual processes, one could use automata, for interaction of processes there are process calculi.

This is why this debate is really a religious one. It's your beliefs against mine. You believe digitization relinquishes one's right to future revenue from the creation. I do not.

In a world where your beliefs are supported by the courts, a creator's only means to ensure a revenue stream from their creations is to present them only in controlled physical environments free of digitizers.

I don't think that's a better world than the one where creators can expect revenue by selling their digitized creations.

Why does somebody have to do something? Twitter has made some controversial moves recently but the only people they've really annoyed are developers. Users have had no major problems. Why would tens of millions of people start paying for something they already get free and like? I think that this project is a response to the developer community Twitter has annoyed but there is no real market for it. A quick look at how little backing it's got shows that it isn't really needed.

I actually do - 4 & 1 3/4 years old. I also own these magnetic balls, and I haven't had any problems with them and my kids - except them losing some of them.

I allow them to play with it for a little, and then I put them in a safe place I know the kids can't get at them.

If I leave them on my desk, I know they will get it...so I don't leave them on the desk.

If a 12-year old is swallowing these things, there is something else going on in that household that needs to be addressed.
I would guess that almost every parent has had their child swallow a small object at some point. I know my mom has told stories of all of us kids doing it. Pennies, peach pits, etc.

The first time they freak out and go to the doctor, who tells them to look for it in their kid's poo. The second time they skip freaking out and the doctor step. Parents may not realize magnets are much more dangerous, because magnets, especially strong ones, are unusual objects that we don't have a lot of experience with, and for their size are unusually strong.
I don't think "too much liquidity" is the problem any more than "too fast transactions" are themselves a problem.

Fundamentally it's better to complete a trade in an hour than a day, better to complete it in a minute than an hour and better to complete it in a second.

Customers won't directly notice the benefit of a trade that
's faster than 0.2s, but would-be market makers need to trade very quickly today because if they don't make the trade somebody else will.

What is a problem is when HFT causes the market to be unstable. When all of a sudden P&G is down 30% for no good reason. When they have to halt trading in certain securities, etc. That's the actual problem.

Now there's a related question which has got nothing to do with fast trading, which is "is there too much capital?"

For a while I've thought that investment returns across most asset classes have been poor lately because there is more capital in the system than the system is able to productively use. Because you can't find good returns elsewhere, people buy mortgage-backed securities, and because all the good borrowers already have mortgages, they've got to go subprime. Interest rates are driven crazily low because people in China can't or won't spend the money they make.

It could be the cure to our financial woes could be the disappearance of 70% of our capital but the problem is whose 70% percent?
People actually do it. It's not universal. It won't hurt, and if it manages to emphasize a candidate's interest/attentiveness at the right time, can help a little.
