Cara Mengobati Asam Urat
Cara Mengobati Asam Urat dengan Ace maxs merupakan solusi terbaik dalam pengobatan tradisional asam urat, karena dalam khasiat Ace maxs terdapat kulit manggis dan daun sirsak yang memiliki banyak kandungan zat antioksidan yang sangat berperan dalam pengobatan asam urat. Cara Mengobati Asam Urat dengan Ace maxs memang menjadi pilihan yang tepat. Walupun ace maxs di bilang obat tradisional, tetapi obat ace maxs ini diproses dengan sangat modern, dan pengolahannya pun di dukung dengan teknologi canggih, hal ini dibuktikan karena demi menjaga keaslian mutu dan bahan baku yang terkandung dalam komposisi tersebut.

Obat Tradisional Ace Maxs yang terbuat dari kulit manggis dan daun sirsak dapat mengobati asam urat dengan tuntas dan aman, mengapa? Ini karena kandungan berbagai senyawa yang ada di dalamnya. Kulit manggis yang menghasilkan warna merah keunguan, dan amat sulit dibersihkan. Karena mengandung tanin, resin, dan crystallizable mangostine (C20H22O5), yang mudah larut dalam alkohol atau ether, tidak larut dalam air. Kulit manggis amat berkhasiat untuk membuang asam urat di dalam tubuh. Selain itu kandungan xanthone di dalam kulit manggis memiliki sifat sebagai antiperadangan dan bisa meredakan nyeri.
Kandungan senyawa tannin, fitosterol, caoksalat, dan alkaloid murisine dalam daun sirsak dipercaya mampu mengatasi asam urat. Sirsak juga memiliki efek diuretic (peluruh kencing) yang membuat sekresi asam urat melalui urine dapat berjalan lancer. Daun sirsak memiliki sifat anti-inflamasi (menekan peradangan) serta meredakan rasa nyeri yang timbul akibat terbentuknya kristal-kristal asam urat.

Compared to what?

Compared to Madison Wisconsin, maybe, compared to all of Wisconsin, probably not, compared to Texas or CA, not a chance. Heck, South San Jose is more diverse.
The description of Germans and German behavior seems to be mostly correct, in my opinion. Some points I disagree with:

- I never heard someone discuss the environmental impact of microwave ovens.

- I have some doubts if the public TV stations are still the biggest.

- Unions appear to have lost some power in the last twenty or thirty years here in Germany. At least, the amount of serious strikes seems to have decreased.

- The requirement to be a "Meister" to be able to open a shop have been dropped in recent years, for almost all trades as far as I know.

I disagree mostly with the German description of aggression and violence. Sometimes, I wish he'd expressed a point a little bit more nuanced.
Sorry, I actually wasn't thinking of the board forcing Zuckerberg to step down. I was more thinking about the Google situation where Schmidt took over CEO for a couple years while Larry Page hung around doing something else.

You're misunderstanding the breadth of what marketing is at Facebook (and most modern consumer software companies). It certainly isn't "if we aren't getting downloads, go buy some ads". It's about increasing the rate of acquisition (inbound and outbound marketing), improving activation (signup to active user), increasing the rate of sharing (viral), increasing the rate of conversions from sharing, internationalization, etc. Check:

Same here. I needed to work with their API, so I made a fake account to make some test and to access the documentation.

I have no intention of having my own facebook account, much less to have it full of debuging messages. If I created a real account, it would only annoy my real friend with messages such as "Test 1" and "sadsadasd".

A simple multiple is not the answer. This is an incredibly well studied problem. At the basis of all of the reasoning is the inherent uncertainty of the task. Estimation is only accurate when all the details of the required task are known. For example, you can estimate how long it will take to assemble 5000 widgets if you know the average time it takes to assemble 10 widgets, and that time is consistent between executions.

With programming, there is no atomic unit of work that is consistent between projects, thus highly accurate estimation is next to impossible. What seems similar from a conceptual standpoint is often completely different depending upon the input factors: lanuage used, experience of the team, specific project requirements.

This problem has given rise to many new ways of working on programming projects. Solving this issue inside a company means building understanding of the inherent uncertainties with management and stakeholders. Solving this issue as a freelancer means inflating estimates and hoping and praying that you can keep the customer in check, because "we can't estimate that" just doesn't work for consultants.
Congratulations on the big win Thomas. Hope it just keeps getting better for you guys.
Because it ISN'T feature parity.

In OpenGL all the fun stuff (e.g. the stuff that's in DX9+) is in vendor specific extensions.

A bit like vendor prefixes in CSS, except they can actually be implemented differently, have different names, etc. It's BAD news, and the main reason why 99% of AAA games use DirectX on Windows.
A good explanation of compressed sensing: http://terrytao.wordpress.com/2007/04/13/compressed-sensing-.... I don't see it working for facial recognition as is but who knows what will happen when you combine this, clever linear coding, local networks and ubiquitous computing. Faces are highly compressible wrt recognition (we do it quickly at poor conditions). I have little doubt that certain timings, exploiting patterns in movements and clever arrangements of the devices will allow tiny, energy efficient cameras to recognize even faces.

For sequencing, I agree. I don't see having a bunch of tiny sequencers auto sequencing everything to be particularly feasible or leading to anything like what he mentions. But then again, we are both thinking linearly when the tech is improving 'exponentially'. It is possible that sequencers will be chemical computers or DNA based or who knows? Current preprocessing limitations and seperability difficulties could turn out to be one of those "I can't believe they used to think that was hard!" moments.

Regardless, the scenario itself, that of being able to monitor vastly more data at a biological and ecosystem level is almost certain. And that is what is important - not nitpicking the details of implementation.

What happens to society when you have sensors and substantial computing power everywhere? This is one of the scenarios in Vinge's singularity...

I believe I made my point that the author either doesn't understand or is purposefully misusing the term "meritocracy". Not really sure why you think I have nothing to say. Was my point not clear enough?

The reader is invited to make further critiques.

If you don't understand parts of your premise, no matter how well-reasoned and well-researched your article, it's going to tank.

By the way, this is an editorial problem, not a problem with the author, or perhaps even the thrust of the piece. I think in terms of content the author did a great job. It just needed another set of critical eyeballs to shine it up. It's a damn shame if you ask me: obviously a lot of work went into this. HN isn't the most author-friendly place in the world. If somehow my critique appeared facile, you have my apologies. I'm not going to further argue with you. I'm sorry if somehow a few colloquialisms threw you off the trail of my point.

Having said that, I still am getting tired of The Atlantic Article Of The Day appearing at the top of the page. They do some great long-form work every now and then, but in my opinion the amount of coverage it gets here is quite disproportionate to the value it provides the community.
I've had a similar experience and similar thoughts. I'm a strong believer in free markets, etc, but sometimes I don't understand the unending need for growth (i.e. why is it considered a bad thing that Facebook is so large that it doesn't have much room for growth?) If you're large and profitable, what's wrong with that? It often seems like the relentless pursuit for growth leads to short-term decisions to increase profits that have long-term consequences of reduced customer satisfaction and thus lost profits.

Its not because of the content, its really because once you signup you can start taking notes against any projects/project ideas you have. I felt it was worth it to ask for a sign up.

Some people might want to see the content. I am thinking of putting some of it pre-signup. Till then I request you to signup and give it a shot. I am not here to spam, don't worry.

Widgets have the same strengths and weakness when choosing software products to buy. If the product meets your needs exactly, it makes sense to buy. If you are going to have to customize the product to actually meet your needs, build the whole thing instead.

In my experience, widgets generally end up in the second category. This is also shared by people generally looking down on things like drag and drop development. Obviously nothing is going to be faster than dragging the complex control someone wants to use into an HTML page and clicking deploy. The problem is that it is almost never the case that the user or your needs are met by the default setup. Then you start configuring and customizing the control. Developers often spend more time configuring and hacking these widgets than it would take to write something that exactly met their needs.

I understood differently:

"For the year ended 30 June 2012, Matasano reported revenue of $5.0m", so that is a year's worth of revenue.

That would be a 2.6 multiple, which is quite good for a consulting company.

I wonder how many times EBITDA and how many times EBIT it was? tptacek, is that something you can disclose?

As Atwood notes, planning poker is a variant of a technique called Wideband Delphi, which McConnell found in some studies he ran to measurably improve estimate accuracy.

The most important difference is that fully dressed Wideband Delphi provides anonymity to the estimators. The goal is to avoid allowing estimation to become a venue for status play or kabuki theatre.
I can't work out if you're trolling or not, but your comment doesn't make sense at all. I needed to perform a task, and I did so fairly trivially from the command line. Someone else offered what they thought might be a shorter alternative, I pointed out that the task was more complex than they thought.

You take this as evidence that it can be done from a GUI?

So, let's go back to your comment. You said:

I still haven't found a tool which
doesn't have an equivalent GUI.

If you want to make me take you seriously, please tell me how you would:

Given two directories,
find all duplicate files that are
both less than 10 minutes old

In other words, given directories A and B, find all filenames f such that:

$A/$f is less than 10 minutes old
$B/$f is less than 10 minutes old
$A/$f is identical to $B/$f

Now tell me how you would do that every hour for a week.
>>Why do you need the programmer to estimate if you're going to ignore the prediction?

So the manager can pass the buck.

>>If programmers aren't even asked to estimate or ignored, obviously the problem is not that programmers are bad at estimating.

Yes. I would argue most of the time when projects take longer than predicted it wasn't the programmer's estimation that was the problem.

>>The method can fix some potentially harmful management<>programmer interactions. It can't fix stupid management.

Agreed

Suppose you were red-green colorblind, and there was an apple tree with green "Granny Smith" apples outside your window.
You can't tell if the leaves on the tree are red or green, but using common sense, you guess that they are green, and color them with the green pencil.

I understand what you're saying; positivity on the way out can ensure that you don't burn bridges as nobody likes being told that they're doing a bad job.

But this isn't the right thing to do.

Show some care for your colleagues.

If you're leaving them in the same position or worse off, then it's your responsibility to say: "I'm going now and I've enjoyed my time here for the most part, but I really hope that you can try and fix some of these things x, y, z for my colleagues Simon, Jack and Andy."

Avoid being rude or selfish.

Reframe the conversation so it's about helping your colleagues out and not negative feelings.

Be positive, caring and constructive at the same time.

Watts Humphreys made the point that any seriously constructed estimate is still more useful that no estimate at all.

The SEI have claimed that organisations with well-defined processes working on problems where they can control many factors such as language and tool choice, with stable staff and so on can in fact get to within 5% variance (sorry, can't find the source right now).

The (only) way to get good at estimation is to make them, track your time accurately, then compare actual to estimate with focus on what factors influenced the estimate to be wrong. Repeat.

This will also provide a velocity (actual / estimate) which future estimates are multiplied by. My initial velocity on new project is 2. That is if I think it will take a 8 hours, I estimate 16 hours.

Also the unit of estimate is "eng hour" not "wall clock hour". You need to multiply estimate by friction factor to account for standups, meetings, demo's, hallway talk, breaks, etc. Typically 1.2-1.5 depending on environment.

btw the "Tracking time spent accurately" is the main reason developers don't get better at estimation. It's hard, developers don't do it, PM's / Managers are interested in billable time or other derivative metrics and they and sr eng rarely provide the support needed to develop estimating skill.
Hint: it still doesn't mean the same in Strict Mode though it behaves slightly different.
Humans are generally bad at estimating time (and budget) for projects, in large part because we tend to take an "inside view" [1] and imagine unrealistic best case scenarios, instead of making an estimate based on empirical data for similar projects completed previously.

There are, I guess legacy, 2 wire systems. On those systems, one wire is hot and the other is neutral. The neutral is connected to ground at the electrical box.

For 3 wire systems, there is an additional ground wire. It comes into play when the hot wire shorts to a part of the device that is exposed to the environment (hopefully tripping the breaker).

Modern 2 pole plugs are constructed with different size pins, so a device can be wired to be safer when connected to a properly wired 2 pole outlet.

I agree setting up a track for it would be difficult. I imagine, though, any married dude could speak at the track. And wasn't thinking so much a mandatory class, but a track like any other. Could be humorous/fun interspersed with nuggets of info. Perhaps some tips and tricks as to where there may be a local setting (not at the con) where the attendees could start to ply their new skills.

Another possibility would maybe be a page in the booklet detailing unacceptable behavior--or a request from con founder or such. I think almost all the people attending are very smart; if they were to hear/see a request from someone they look up to very highly, it might be enough to stifle bad behavior even through a drunken lens.

To your points:

1) I think this comes back to the education thing. Be it a page in a booklet, on the website, or something else--sometimes people need to actually see/hear it. It's dangerous to assume that just because people are smart, they know how to behave and how to be respectful to others.

2) I only have experience at the big 2 in Vegas, but thought the staff were trained on such... Don't know. I agree, though, that having them trained to be responsive would be a huge help.

3) Yes. I actually (unfortunately) had the opportunity to do as much this year. I know people I was with would be more than willing to step in as well. But, again, perhaps it would help for everyone to know that they can be on the lookout for this behavior and step in/get help when necessary. We can't just assume that people will do the right thing, either.

Thank you for the well though-out response. I very much hope that in the future your con experiences improve dramatically regardless of what makes that happen.
You're questioning the fundamental philosophy ow Wall Street (I almost wrote capitalism instead but I don't know if that's true). Solvency is not enough to drive stock prices because the price of a stock is a bet on the future value of the company, not the present value. I don't like it either...

Could be. But it also could be that we would be able to tap into nerves and make artificial hands sooner than a usable interface between the brains and computer (there is a whole set of other problems to solve here). And that would mean that the interface for the computer would stay the same (keyboard, mouse, touch screen, ...) but our hands would be mechanical (and you couldn't get Carpal Tunnel Syndrom since, well, you wouldn't have a carpal tunnel :))
