Photoshop Tutorial: Create A Olympics Invitation Card.
Hi friends, its been long time since a new tutorial. Since this month is fully occupied with Olympics extravaganza, i thought of doing something simple and creative. So here we will be creating a beautiful Olympics invitation card in few steps. Ok let’s move to the tutorial.
For the past month, I've done something similar, just following Atkins. I've monitored my calories using myfitness.com so I know my daily caloric intake has varied between 900 and 1400 calories. I've monitored whether I am in ketogenesis with some nice pee strips.

Following Atkins first phase, I am maintaining about 20 carbs per day, mostly from interesting salad elements and some yummy cheeses. I've been drinking 0 calorie flavored seltzer water and regular water and coffee (with cream.)

And mostly cooking/reheating Costco and Trader Joe like foods that are about 50/50 fat/protein with zero or few carbohydrates. (Burgers, steak, pot roast, shredded beef, chicken with skin.)

There are definitely some days I am hungrier than others, no big deal, I eat what I want. But many days after 15 - 18 hours I am pretty full at 1200 calories.

I have noticed that on days when I eat very little, even though I was not hungry that day, I get a pretty nasty headache the next day -- so I try to ensure I get at least 1000 - 1200 calories each day.

Saw my MD last week, and got my blood tests back today, and I'm doing just fine. Before doing any diet, or shortly into that diet, you probably should see your doctor.

So I'm 5'8" and lost 14 pounds in 30 days -- would like to lose another 20 -- that would be great.
My original point is that if managers took recruiting more seriously and spent more time and money on finding the correct person they wouldn't need to ask for spec work.

My point in this rabbit hole is that doing "free aka spec" work for a lawyer vs designer/developer is completely different. With a lawyer you are talking about possible payouts that can equal to months, or even years of salary. For designers/developers the typical payout for spec work (for freelancers) are more like weeks.

Granted, this whole discussion around lawyers doing spec work vs designers/devs doing it is a bit convoluted. I shouldn't have used lawyer in the example, though I still don't think someone goes into a lawyers office and says "in order to work with me you must complete the following tasks". That's what happens to designers and developers, which I think it BS.
The US paid for the vast majority and are responsible for getting this to Mars. The crazy landing, and $2.5 billion at risk on a project with a 30% historic success rate, wase not shared. US total annual space spending is about $60 billion a year. The entire rest of the world combined is only about $22. The entire EU is under $6 billion.

This is an American achievement. If you aren't from the US, you should try to encourage your government to step up. If everyone committed at US levels by GDP, annual global space spending would be about $240 billion instead of $82 billion. Biomedical research is the same way.
Space isn't ours.
For people that missed the event on the livestream, how can we rewatch this?
Does anyone know whether it's OK to use Stevia as an alternative during such a sugar-free diet?

Why This Haptic Steering Wheel Could Save Your Life
You didn't? Sorry. Sucks to be you.
EDL is scripted, but there has been activity before tonight, and as another poster said, there is activity after landing. As the cruise phase comes to an end, there have been more and more tweaks to get the landing ellipse as tight as possible. In addition, there are system checkouts, and coordination of the orbiters that relay telemetry, in advance of the landing. It was not at all certain that the images could be produced right away.

Ugh. If you've ever worked on a project with more than 1 person, you'd understand why... it's about the team and the work they'd done over the last few years. Even if they had no direct "joystick" control over the procedure, there was plenty of work happening immediately after the landing. I'm sure most of those people didn't have to actually be there for that work, but anybody working on the project wants to be there...

Cutting out Diet Coke (and artificial sweeteners) has been key for me. I feel much healthier, and my head is clearer. Sugar is next.

One other body hack: my knuckles were starting to ache like I had arthritis. At first I thought it was from programming too much, but then I discovered that peanuts can cause inflammation -- I was eating peanuts all the time as my go-to snack -- I eliminated those and my arthritis symptoms went away within a few days.
Theres an even more ironic possibility - similar to what the article mentions about positive affirmations, the positive thinking served only to remind them of their fears rather than alleviate them in any way, making them even more nervous than they would have been otherwise.

As long as America is paying for the vast majority of space exploration, the achievements belong to us. We spend almost 3 times the entire rest of the world combined, about $60 billion to $22 billion a year. Global achievement requires global contribution. Leveled for GDP, the rest of the world would need to spend about $160 billion a year more than they are.

Editing in more details from posts I've made before:

The total 2010 US Space budget was $64.6B. The entire rest of the world combined spent only $22.5B. NASA's 2010 budget was $18.7B, 83% of the spending for the rest of the world. The entire ESA budget is a paltry $4.6B, while the EU has a higher GDP than the US.

Not all US space spending is through NASA. For example, the GPS system is not included in NASA's budget, it's spearheaded by the Air Force Space Command, and comes out of the Defense budget. And before anyone says that Defense space spending should not be included, keep in mind that will dramatically reduce the overall global space budget which does include defense spending. For example, the European Galileo satellite navigation system, which has cost some €20B, is included in the ESA budget, so it would have to be taken out in order to compare with NASA, our civilian space program.

If the rest of the world spent as much as the United States on space exploration by GDP, global space spending would be 4.1 times higher than it is today. $267B instead of $87.1B.
That only works with an Emacs pinky. ;)
If you'd like to try a 30-day challenge with your diet, I heartily recommend Whole30: http://whole9life.com/2012/01/whole-30-v2012/

In short, you remove:

* Grains/legumes
* Dairy
* Sugar
* Alcohol
* Weird additives (sulfates/MSG/etc)

If you eat the standard American diet, this is probably a lot of your food! Which begs the question--what can you eat? The guy who runs my gym also runs The Foodee Project, a recipe collection site. Here's the Whole30 tag: http://www.thefoodee.com/tag/whole30/

P.S. And if you're too busy/lazy to do a Whole30, the best thing you can possibly do with your diet is cut sugar. Not reduce; cut. Remove it, 100%, no fucking around. Sugar is a really easy-to-use energy source for your body, which actually screws you up if you constantly intake it. More info here: http://www.marksdailyapple.com/what-does-it-mean-to-be-fat-a...

Angel investor wants 50% equity, not exactly an angel
Interesting, I've never heard of a startup founder being regularly solicited for meetings with people from other companies. Is that normal?

Prepaid SIMs were introduce because they are simpler for the customer and for the company. You don't need to sign a contract, customer will always pay. It works great in countries where people don't have a lot of money.

To sign a contract you need some postal address. There are countries where a lot of people simply don't have a postal address.

With postpaid SIMs the company will need to wait one whole month until they send the first bill, and then maybe another month until they reach the conclusion that the customer will not pay. What if the customer makes calls worth $1000 in two months? how do you get back that money in countries where it's really hard to enforce the law?
To prevent this some companies ask for a deposit for like $500. Good luck with that in Africa!

Also now, you can get the same "options" like a postpaid card. You put credit on your prepaid card and then activate one or more of the "options". I have one option that gives me 1 cent per minute voice calls. The price of the option is $1 per month. Because the price of the options are substracted from the prepaid credit every month, it works like a postpaid contract: $x every month for a list of benefits.

Prepaid is the right way to bill customers. The reason for not being the first and only way to bill customers is that for prepaid the billing is done in real-time. You need to cut the call exactly the second the credit hits 0. Imagine what real-time billing means for large countries like India.
I understand the difference between accurate emulation and good-enough emulation. Simply, for me, is crazy to see 3 core @3GHz at 100% for accurate emulation. IMO, bsnes is slow and inneficient, not only justified by accurate emulation, but also because of its implementation.

In Nesticle days I was around 20 (now 37), and actively interested in the emulation scene. The "fixed" ROMs in most cases came from ROM cartridge simulators (with embedded RAM), often requiring ROMs to be patched because of different ways of simulating bank switching or anti-piracy protections.

Of course, I apreciate his work. It is just my opinion, no matter how many negative points I've got.

> Apple didn't send a text message to his number-on-file?

"Sir, we are just going to need to send an SMS to your phone number"

"Ok which number is that.. "

"it is the 065 488 48.."

"..that is my old work phone, which I no longer have access to"

Works all the time. The tip with social engineering is to ask for a little at a time. You don't call up and say "I don't have my phone, email, password, and nor do I know my mothers maiden name.. please let me into my account"

You take it all a step at a time and give it a narrative, just like a real user in the predicament would (and I have been in the predicament and called Apple). Works almost every time.
Using email as a task lisk sounds like a nightmare. The equivalent pen and paper version would be people doodling all over your list whenever you weren't looking. Do yourself a favour and use something like trello.
Using Mercurial daily, I don't understand why it isn't widely viewed as the alternative to git that you mention. It seems to avoid some of the pain-points the OP lists.

The idea that there are "git faithful" is a sign of how immature (in every sense) the software development field is. Masochism and complexity-worship seem to blight our field(not necessarily referring to git, which I'm not qualified to comment on)
You say space isn't ours if ours=Americans but space is ours for ours=humans.

I disagree. Space is there, and it's fine for us to explore it (although space garbage is an issue), but claiming it is just typical human pettiness.
SC Magazine: Easily available botnet tools contribute to DDoS rise
What an utterly pointless article capitalizing on the success of the NASA team. Nobody is saying space is America's, what they were saying was that this was a big day for the American space program, because it was NASA, not the Chinese space agency, or the Russians or anyone else that put Curiosity on mars.

And I'm not even an American. I will be just as happy next time any other nation does something like this too, but this one belongs to the Americans.

Growing up in Dubai I witnessed a similar practice called 'blood money'.

It's not ideal, but seems better than the chinese system. At least the victim's family gets something out of it.
I really fail to understand how that would be more negative than a drastic implosion, followed by complete bankruptcy. What's your thinking here?
Nasa needs to play politics a bit: after all it competes with everything else for funding. More power to them. Something to be proud to spend tax money on...
Did you read the article?

"Let's take the case of Speedy Gonzales. This is an SNES platformer with no save functionality, and it's roughly 2-3 hours long. At first glance, it appears to run fine in any emulator. Yet once you reach stage 6-1, you can quickly spot the difference between an accurate emulator and a fast one: there is a switch, required to complete the level, where the game will deadlock if a rare hardware edge case is not emulated. One can imagine the frustration of instantly losing three hours of progress and being met with an unbeatable game. Unless the software does everything in the exact same way the hardware used to, the game remains broken."
I am one of those who started with building a computer from scratch when I was 12ish. By the time I was 18, I thought that I was way behind and needed to learn marketing, business, finance, etc, if I wanted to do startups.

Here's the perspective at more than twice your age: Success isn't going to be determined by when you started learning something, but by whether you learned it once you realized you needed it.

There is no school in the country that is going to teach a course in your business, because every business is different.

Success comes to those who work hard and improve and will teach themselves whatever they need to learn.

If your interest in entrepreneurship means a string of 120 failed lemonade stands, then you're already well ahead of nearly every biz school graduate in the country.

If it has meant sitting on your butt wishing you were rich since you were 12, then nothings going to happen until you change.

Learn programming- its valuable. More valuable is learning to teach yourself what you need to do what you want to do.

That's the key to success.
Berlin, Germany ("H1B") - StorageRoom - iOS

We’re building a cloud-based Content Management platform that’s targeted at developers. We just received funding from prestigious VCs (unannounced).

You say Content Management sucks? That’s exactly what we think, and we see a huge opportunity to do something completely different that plays well with HTML5/JS and native mobile apps.
The initial version of our platform is already used by hundreds of customers, from major global media companies to small development agencies.

It’s now time to throw away the prototype of our API and to build a high-performance solution, from scratch. We already have a team for the backend and are now looking for an iOS developer who will create an iOS SDK and example applications.

We’re looking for someone who already has a solid experience in writing and testing iOS applications and that has a good knowledge of the iOS ecosystem and its frameworks (CoreData etc.). You should have a good Computer Science foundation and an authentic interest in working with Objective-C and Cocoa. One of the main jobs besides developing will be to involve the iOS community with talks at conferences and interesting prototypes.

Interested? Please send your GitHub account and any other interesting links about you to sascha@thriventures.com.

P.S.: The only language in the company is English and living in Berlin without any knowledge of German isn't a problem at all.
I just pointed that his implementation is slow, not that accurate implementation was not hard or require much more CPU than non-accurate.

I spoke about the article, not a judgement of author's as a whole, which I respect.
Yes. I've been eating paleo for about a year. I cut back on sweets to beat the sugar addiction and further along my weight loss.
I agree with you completely with regard to the (unfortunately paltry) funding situation.

There is still a difference between that inequity that should be rectified, and the jingoism that we hear about our country.

The US and our partners are definitely doing things that have never been done before, and as everyone keeps noting, for pretty freaking cheap! I just wish we were using that as an invitation for participation from others, rather than just as an opportunity to beat the drums of nationalism.

Just because somebody responds with a budget that is worth your time does not mean they also should not use 99designs.

The difference between the best designers there and the designers who need to be paid thousands just to open photoshop is not talent or experience - it's just their sense of entitlement.

Those people are living in a fantasy world where governments or ISPs do not care about what their citizens or customers are browsing and are not doing wholesale traffic proxying/collection. In that fantasy world, it's rare for companies who should know better to serve login pages over insecure connections.

SSL also prevents doing MITM to serve malicious content to browsers to exploit browser or plugin vulnerabilities. Universal SSL would mean attackers would have to get you to visit their site, or a site that includes content that they control.

It really depends on what you mean by 'claiming', doesn't it?

If 'claiming' means "We have exclusive rights to it and ET better just watch out", then that's insane. I've also never heard anyone make that argument.
As I said, its a matter or design. The iPad is not made to enter information (except tiny bits), it is clearly a ''click/touch'' centric device. No keyboard by default says it all. You wont write a full novel on a iPad. You wont code something very long on it. And you wont even have the tools at hand to develop the apps that you use everyday. It is completely asymetric, and the barrier for curious kids to do something is huge. Whereas the same kids can just open a terminal on a Linux device and start experimenting away.

Assuming you aren't a nutritional expert (or doctor or biologist), did you bother to do _any_ research? I'm no expect, so I looked up "starvation diet". It brought me to the main wiki pain on dieting. This is what it says about "Very low-calorie diets":

"They subject the body to starvation and produce an average weekly weight loss of 3.3–5.5 lb."

If 5.5lb a week is the result of starvation, what might 7lbs/week be? It continues by cautioning about the dangers of such diets.

Just because you eat, doesn't mean you can't starve. Consider protein poisoning (aka, rabbit starvation).
I think you missed the point.
This links does not say the achievement does not belong to USA. It says space does not belong to USA.

Just like discovering America is Colombus' achievement, we can't say America belongs to Colombus.
There were a number of times during the live stream that NASA people followed up "a great day for america" with "and a great day for humankind/the-world." It happened frequently enough that I'm confident that any NASA list of talking points included "a great day for us and a great day for humankind."
This, basically. We do not have a happy situation in America by any measure and this is being leveraged to bring in more money to work with. While I twinge a little every time they talk about "American ingenuity" or "This is an American achievement", I do recognize what they're doing and they're by no means denigrating other countries in saying this.
