Hi Quora,

I am unhappy with the new Views feature, which is enabled by default. I do not wish to be part of a website that prevents its users from browsing pages anonymously, especially if it also requires them to use their full names.

Can you please delete my Quora account and all associated data as soon as possible, including my public and anonymous answers. Please also send me a confirmation email once this data has been erased.

My account page is located at www.quora.com/XXXXXXXXXXXX.

Regards,

Interesting, it's not blurred for me either, although the other day I remember it was.

I tried this in Firefox and Chrome in both normal and Private/Incognito modes.
There's irony. There's salad, chicken and green tea in McDonnald's as well (they just don't advertise it that much). You can eat that and stay fit.
Sorry, but thats no true. Metro does have stores called METRO which are well known and they do have electronics departments (hence the reference to being able to buy "Metro" at "Metro"). Not internationally maybe, but in Germany, everyone knows Metro as a cash and carry store as well.

http://www.n-tv.de/img/67/674025/O_1000_680_680_metro.jpg

And as I said: even if Metro AGs claim is not valid, they are not one to piss off as someone who sells electronics or software.
I recommend using RequestPolicy for that. It's a lot more convenient and fine-grained.
Interesting. I guess it depends on the kind of exercise you do.

What I noticed is that around day 7 or so, anaerobic exercise (e.g., thai boxing) becomes very demanding and hard to keep up for more than a few minutes at a time. However, it's just as easy as always to do aerobic exercise like jogging or swimming.

Never had dizzy spells or feeling of muscle fatigue (except for anaerobic exercise) - and it was also easier to get out of bed in the morning.

However, a friend of mine noted that my body goes into a super-economic mode - that I hardly lift my feet off the ground when I walk (less than an inch on average), and that my arms seem to move quite a bit less.
It seems to be so simple that I can't see it?

Market share is not always a good indicator of what your user base will be.

We build music apps for high end stereo's, so it's a mobile device application, but not mobile in the sense of taking a device with you. Most of our market is iPad, with a large share iPhone and iPod touch. Android is kind of small so far (always about to take off!), but I think the Nexus 7 and
maybe Kindle Fire will change this. The size is good for browsing music and the price is significantly below the iPad, basically the same as an iPod touch. We have desktop apps too, but they are maybe 10% as popular as the mobile ones. A lot of our users would consider purchasing a device especially for browsing music, iPad is a first choice, but the Nexus 7 is a good option.

The other difference for us is that people tend to keep their existing devices, so we have lots of old hardware to support. Phones get updated a lot more than tablets and iPod touches.
Unreadable to humans with sight. Screen readers don't care! :-)
Fair point. Sorry no.

Maybe the guys of indiegogo know somebody who can supply this.
Did you scroll all the way down? Still blurry here: http://imgur.com/Bbifs (on google chrome)

Although I see in the html source there are some html comments "googleoff". I've never heard of those before.

I guess "googleon"'ing the first answer is enough to get google juice while staying within the letter of rules, it's still really spammy.

(Plus, how does that play with other search engines?)
Of course you could trust them not to track you. But for the same reason you prefer your account to be deleted (not just inactivated), you might want to make sure on your side that they can't track you (not just taking their word for it).
> I'm not sure what you mean by an "instance"

I defined it earlier: specific person, at a specific fasting period (by which I meant contiguous period).

> also depends on what you're eating during the fast.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. "fast" says "what you're eating" is nothing.
It seems to me that the bizarre excesses of the "education bubble" are the direct result of a free market in education and prove that it's a bad idea.

Education is not something where there should ever be an attempt to capture the consumer surplus.

I didn't mind their real full-name policy until now, since you could still answer questions anonymously. Allowing other members to see the questions I'm viewing by default, however, crosses the line.
Facebook have to admit they have fake accounts because it would defy credulity to suggest otherwise. They also have to vastly understate the number otherwise their advertisers would sue or flee in droves.

So the only question is to what degree they are lying. I would suggest that from an advertiser's perspective the real number of fake accounts is at least 25%, probably much higher.

It looks like they've changed it. I added quora to my list of blocked domains in google immediately after noticing the blurred responses... I don't think I'll remove them.
Makro (and cash & carry's in general) are pretty interesting. You have to know of them either through someone else to actually find out about them, do very little advertising.

However, if you can find someone with a Makro card, make them your best friend.
Actually the worst thing is just linear interpolation.

Why so many emulators default to that is mind boggling.
Photoshops animation tools are woefully tedious to use too.
Agreed. I don't use git, because I know that I would write wrappers for commands to be saner like SVN or mercurial and that is the wrong approach.

Better to fork+rename git.
How To Improve Self Confidence

Three Best IRC Clients for Mac I am aware of
Adding a new one is not a good solution to "there are too many around". And I don't think consolidating everything into google is a good idea; these kind of posts belong on a different network to photos of my holidays.
Well, I don't think its about the money. Its a desperate move. Heres my theory on what happened:

Quora was started by an elitist group. They made content policies that were very elitist (similar to HN in a way) emphasizing quality and trained their early adopters to vote only the VERY BEST of content.

They then moved away from the gated status and allowed others to enter their community. The new-comers were however not as qualified to write as the old user base and obviously most of them never got any upvotes for the content they created. So the new users got programmed to believe that up votes are scarce on quora and therefore they themselves stopped up voting on quora.

Well the only problem with this was, up voting also meant sharing. So by training users to not up vote in a way, they cut off their sharing. So now old content stopped circulating and that explains why most people think quora is dead.

To solve the problem of content circulation slowing down, which would heavily impact the discovery of content, Quora first launched a feature called 'Boards' some time back. (Even though this invited comments on how Quora is just copying pinterest).
That probably got the engine up and running for some while.

However this still did not fix the problem. I think the most popular board on Quora has something like 5000 followers. Thats it! So the content is still not circulating well.

So then they came up with the Views feature - a feature turned on by default and which would convert every view into a vote and could turn on their content engine back up again.

What people don't get is - The guy who started eHow is an investor at Quora. It has always been about long tail content, getting traffic for long queries on google, content circulation etc...

Quora is not innovative at all, there is no great model there.

Its just eHow done more cleanly.
But that happens at a very slow pace. Where do the mercury and lead spend time until they are excreted? The only answer I was able to get from people who are supposed to know is "all over", "in the cells", "in the blood" and similar meaningless answers.

I have yet to find anyone who has an idea about how it is actually distributed through the body.
Reddit has some decent subreddits devoted to questions/answers, but the really good ones, like askscience, only allow objective answers. On second thought, that's probably why those ones are good.
Current Features:

1) Simple uncluttered interface using a single-page design. Most functions are hidden and can be switched on / off with a quick swing of mouse in fullscreen mode. For example, click the top-right corner for an even cleaner view.

2) The two columns can be navigated separately: back / forward / refresh for each of them. Use mouse wheel to scroll.

3) All posts of a person are integrated into his / her user page feed, and you can jump between the exact positions in the user page and the topic page, such that you can easily read everything from the interesting users and discover good topics.

4) You can focus on someone to only show his / her posts inside a topic, and then defocus on one of them to get to its position inside the original topic.

5) You can post on your or other's user page directly. And you can follow users and be followed. You can also create, edit and delete lists of topics.

6) You can edit / delete you posts, and rename / hide / lock your topics at any moment. Hence you can even use it as a todo list or a bookmark organizer.

7) TeX and Code support. Good for scientific and programming topics. You can customize the font type, size, and line height. The site is also very friendly on your data bandwidth.

Indeed, but please read what you quoted. I didn't state that "burning fat for energy is an idea". See the word "burning" in what you quoted? neither do I.

"fat store used exclusive as energy store" IS an idea or hypothesis. One that underlies a lot of other assumptions and theories about nutrition, but is actually known to be wrong -- fat is used for a lot of other things as well (your brain is mostly made of fatty acids, for one; the skin is constantly lubricated with fat for another).

But it's a wholesale retailer, e.g. it's targeted towards registered professional customers rather than end consumers. My point still stands, the large majority of the public does not interact with them.

> Unsubstantiated nonsense is garbage, irrespective of its acceptance by people who know nothing about it and are accepting things on what makes them feel good.

That's true, and describes 99% of what people believe. It's just that I never see any of the mainstream proved-wrong beliefs challenged on HN - they either get a response like "no, that's wrong, and here is a reference", or accepted as gospel. Not surprising, really.

No one is saying two wrongs make one right. I clearly stated that I don't have a reference anyone can check.

I essentially deleted my account a long time ago, which involved unsubscribing from every single question, and anonymizing every single comment I had ever made. It was the only thing close to deleting my account, and yet I still see my content, follows, and upvotes there. Gaining a sense of privacy is an abstruse and opaque task. And I'm sure that's intended.

One of the things that really bothered me was that I could tell who had made a thread about a sensitive or taboo-ridden subject[1], although this was not at all obvious to the person who posted the question. The site creates the impression that you are - sort of - anonymous when asking a question, but have to explicitly choose to anonymize, when you post an answer.

To think that this company raised at a $400M valuation in April pisses me off.

The concept of privacy can quickly get very semantic, but I think Steve Jobs summed it up perfectly:

Privacy means people know what they are signing up
for.

— Steve Jobs, D8 2010.

Anyone in their right mind will see that Quora don't give two shits about privacy - probably because the abolition of it helps their business model.

I think that the first goal is totally dependent upon his current situation. It is very much a low hanging fruit scenario, so that grabbing the low fruit will provide some motivation and inspiration to continue one. Nothing worse than setting the bar too high, missing it and getting depressed about it.

StackExchange leaves a lot of open opportunities even in the areas they focus on. The objectivity mantra means they'll ban "best programmer jokes", perhaps understandable, but oddly they'll block questions like "best database for X, best book on X" as being "Not Constructive". (I could understand "subjective", but I can't see how it's not useful data.)

So when I see things like this, it makes me think there's surely an opportunity and the opportunity falls squarely in Quora's lap. But depending how they execute on it, they might still be leaving the space wide open for others.
Back when Mark Edmundson wrote a piece for the NY Times saying that one should attend college for the joy of it, not as a vocational school, I had a look at the University of Virginia tuition about the time he started teaching there, and at the minimum wage. At the end of the 1970s, a summer of minimum wage work would pretty much cover U.Va. tuition and fees, though not room and board. At the moment, the equivalent number of hours falls far short.

A sort of institutional will has taken over the universities, one that leads them to expand at all costs. The area occupied by George Washington University in Washington, DC, has considerably increased over the years, and they have campuses in Alexandria and along Foxhall Road. AU, Catholic, and Georgetown have all expanded--the last, which is hemmed in with expensive real estate, is looking to open a campus several miles away across town. And they all seem to have Schools of Professional Studies (or some such name) where one can earn a credential by the investment of a couple of years of evenings and money that one's employer might pay for.

My thinking about this may be seriously flawed in some way, but couldn't the official Git implement these command names or something similar as an alternative to the currently supported commands without any problems?

Heck, why not even label the current Git commands as "legacy commands" and leave them supported "forever", but officially change to more user friendly and logical command names such as this?

I thought GWF were doing some processing to make the fonts work better on Windows? They way I understood it they were running the auto-hinter that Linux would use and then storing the hints inside the font for use by Windows. If that's true then the version hosted by Google (at least) should also look better than the complete disaster you get with entirely unhinted fonts at small sizes.
eHow is garbage content though. They might target search traffic in the same way but the answers on Quora are actually good. Perhaps thats what you meant by 'cleanly' but I took that to mean design only.
Seems like a very misleading title. Surly it should be "MySQL now supports the memcache protocol for simple NoSQL-style access on InnoDB tables".

As far as I can make out, the memcached server software itself is not included in MySQL right?

Do you know of a similar German document?

http://dip21.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/16/099/1609915.pdf (German)

It's the best that I know of that is somewhat comparable. In there poverty is defined as proportion to the average income.

Listing what poor people own is propably meant as a measure of quality of life in the US-Census document. I think that is a valid measurement.

The German document measures this quality of life different:
It uses social participation as factor.

From Wikipedia (2004):

I. Member of a political party

people underneath poverty-risk-line: 1.9 %

people above poverty-risk-line: 3.8 %

II. Member of union

people underneath poverty-risk-line: 5.3 %

people above poverty-risk-line: 14.2 %

III. Takes part in signature-collections

people underneath poverty-risk-line: 10.7 %

people above poverty-risk-line: 23.4 %

IV. Takes part in demonstrations

people underneath poverty-risk-line: 1.2 %

people above poverty-risk-line: 6.2 %

and in the document

There we might have another difference between our two countries? I think both approaches to measure quality of life are valid. I would go on an say, combined they would provide a much better result.

For instance, goods in Germany are often much more expensive. And in my opinion, this is due to heavier regulations that drive up costs. I already delay purchases of certain goods to my umpcoming US trips, because I know the low prices in the US will knock me out of my socks.

I should've elaborated on what I mean by "outcast-scale poverty" - that you're endangered by your poorness.
Maybe I have expressed myself not clearly enough, so once more: I prefer the collected information to be public because then it is clear to everyone that it is being collected and many more people are aware of the implications. I think it is better than when the same kind of information is being secretly sold while users have a false feeling of privacy.
This is my experience, but I rarely meet an Android user who doesn't openly express that they wish they had an iPhone. There are a few moralists and uber hackers that I meet that are contrarians, but they are few and far between.

As Rob mentions in his post, the more dotfiles there are in $HOME the slower path resolution for any subfiles becomes. How do we navigate to ./src? We open the directory and read all the entries until we find the one called "src". What happens if we encounter a morass of dotfiles beforehand? src takes a while to find. The clutter may be invisible to you, but it does gum up the works.
