Something's getting a bit fishy. You probably want to sell something, or you're trying to impress somebody. It still may be an acceptable result for a scientific text.

Pretty good figuring it's under the 5 sentence recommendation.
If you brazenly lie using strong phrases without any weasel words, it'll come across as not being 'bullshit' grammatically. I don't think the software has a fact checker.
Why can't we express a desire for something better, while knowing full well that Obama is a politician and, like just about any American politician, got into office by avoiding hard questions and giving the answers the great unwashed masses want to hear?

Yes but most of the people who are "leaving Ubuntu" are just switching the desktop environment or using a system downstream of Ubuntu. It makes for a lot of drama but it doesn't much hurt Ubuntu community support (which is their greatest strength, and why I use Ubuntu) because so many of the packages remain the same.

I think I missed something. I'm pretty sure I knew what death was before I hit puberty. Does this app include photos of the result of the strikes? Is there supposed to be a "talk" you have with your kids around age 12 or 13 where you explain what drones are and reveal for the first time that there is a war in Afghanistan and Pakistan?

Cropping rides is something I'll be adding soon, but I hadn't thought about removing sections. Actually, at the moment, I'm essentially treating rides as arrays of records at one second intervals, so having gaps in the middle doesn't work. To be honest, I hadn't considered the use case where you have a single ride file that legitimately spans multiple days. I'll think about this.
Indeed. Cue suitable mocking and derision: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HMGIbOGu8q0
Surprisingly enough that's mostly true. http://www.lenntech.com/library/clo2/chlorine-dioxide.htm ClO2 is a bleach, but it's not what most people think of when they say "bleach". It's effective as a disinfectant even against spore-forming bacteria like anthrax. http://www.lenntech.com/library/clo2/chlorine-dioxide.htm I appreciate that you're not advocating high doses, or cures for random things like autism.
I know almost no programmers who analyst algorithms in a formal manner.

My point isn't that Apple doesn't care about the money it makes from the app store, my point is that Apple has a vested monetary interest in keeping developers around going forward. iPhone sales pre-app store were pretty small; the app store drives a lot of their business.

Twitter, on the other hand, has no business interest in developers going forward. It's true they may not have gotten where they are without third party devs, but that need is gone now; they can move forward without them. You may lament that as being cruel in some manner, but that's business my friend. Twitter isn't going to collapse because they cut off third parties.
Because almost all companies (and people) inherently behave in a way that is in their own best interests. Owning critical smartphone patents is clearly in the interest of people in the smartphone business.
As yes, you're right. If you insert random 'izations' into your text, your BS meter goes up as well. It also has a hardon for 'activity'.
Did you happen to read the HN story from a couple days ago?

http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/semmelweis

It'd be interesting if in 100 years we were reading the same story about ClO2. Everyone thought the doctor suggesting that everyone wash their hands before delivering a baby was a "quack" when the evidence suggested otherwise. I am only saying I'd like to see objective research here. If the result is that ClO2 is not effective in any way or that it does more harm than good then that is fine; BUT, if the result was that it was effective in very low doses, we should accept that as well. Let hard science prevail... not the quacks or the quack police.

I'm at a stage where I am looking to add some measuring gear and upload rides to a system.

I recently upgraded from a bike that I maxed its potential (older, rebuilt road bike) to a new bike where I am nowhere near its potential and I'm looking to improve my training to get to the next level.

I registered, clicked around, but didn't know what to do. For those that have a garmin and experience entering data in an online system, it is probably easy. For me, I was left wondering what I needed to do to get started.

That is just my personal experience which may not be worth addressing until you get more scale. If you think your platform can take share from other data platforms fast, you don't need me yet (or customers like me).

If you think you need to grab advancing cyclists not yet measuring themselves, my comment is worth considering. If you are in need of advancing your platform through new users, my recommendation would be to add a link to 3 levels of equipment you recommend. Base (to get started, as low price as possible). 2nd Tier (something that give both a trip computer and power measuring device), 3rd (some advanced tier)

(This also may be a terrible suggestion since I don’t know enough about the equipment, like whether every bike needs different stuff etc.)

*Remember, the person paying $2,000 for a bike and $80/year for a service like this has disposable income, but maybe not disposable time so it may be worth making it really fast to get set up, including equipment.

Apple has never stated that the purpose of the appstore is to support democracy. And I think it would be hard to argue that the availability of apps (or lack thereof) in Apple's store, which is not even close to a monopoly, has any impact on democracy. I think what's really going on here is that Apple wants to avoid providing apps that might be politically divisive.

EDIT: qualifying availability of apps as within Apples' App Store
This is a tempest in a teapot. Obviously the same content could be placed on a Web page containing an incarnation of Google Maps, with an updated overlay containing publicly available data about air strikes. Then iPod/iDevice owners could simply launch a browser and visit the site for the latest data.

It's obvious from the article graphic that the app is using Google Maps to display its data, so hosting it in a Web page would produce the same outcome, even the same appearance.

Indeed, given the move to so-called cloud computing and the public nature of the data being displayed, that's a more obvious way to accomplish the program's role -- put it on the Web and publish the page's address.
Sold out? Or taken off the market? I wonder if they have any remaining inventory that they're deciding not to sell and "selling out" is to try to create demand for the next device.

The Strava upload interface is ok, but I find it slow. I think Garmin has a web plugin you can access from JavaScript, not really sure, I've never looked into it.

I've thought about writing a small app that runs in the background, and every time a garmin is plugged in, it grabs the latest files and uploads them to training peaks, strava, garmin connect etc.
Longevity in China is increasing rapidly and the one-child policy results in a grandchild potentially having four grandparents to look after. The “four grandparent policy” means the elderly cannot expect to be looked after in old age. Four grandparents, one grand-kid makes abandoning the old-folk looks easy and near certain.

Nor can the elderly rely on a welfare state to look after them. There is no welfare state.

So the Chinese save. Unless they save they will starve in old age. This has driven savings levels sometimes north of fifty percent of GDP. Asian savings rates have been high through all the key industrializations (Japan, Korea, Singapore etc). However Chinese savings rates are over double other Asian savings rates – this is the highest savings rate in history and the main cause is the one-child policy.

I am really glad I wasn't wearing headphones at the time.
I would favour a first-party device like the surface pro in this case rather than one of these as my perception is that something is likely to "just work" if hardware and software are from the same vendor (see: apple).

Should be interesting to see how the likes of asus can compete in the long run (I am guessing price and slightly garish features will most likely differentiate); having an actual product on the shelves surely gives you a head-start.

I agree.

I tried some Hegel, who scored 0.18. Clearly broken.

Schopenhauer got it right, where BlaBlaMeter gets it wrong:

"If I were to say that the so-called philosophy of this fellow Hegel is a colossal piece of mystification which will yet provide posterity with an inexhaustible theme for laughter at our times, that it is a pseudo-philosophy paralyzing all mental powers, stifling all real thinking, and, by the most outrageous misuse of language, putting in its place the hollowest, most senseless, thoughtless, and, as is confirmed by its success, most stupefying verbiage, I should be quite right. Further, if I were to say that this summus philosophus ... scribbled nonsense quite unlike any mortal before him, so that whoever could read his most eulogized work, the so-called Phenomenology of the Mind, without feeling as if he were in a madhouse, would qualify as an inmate for Bedlam, I should be no less right."
True that, the original Amazon coated Android sucks a lot. But I couldn't be happier with JB on my Kindle Fire, it is AMAZINGLY fast, and I have never experienced any kind of lagginess whatsoever.

I had mine as a hackathon prize and if I had to buy one I'd buy a Nexus 7, but heck, when I got mine there were no $199 tablets as good as the Kindle Fire.
The only app where, to me, this type of navigation has been a hinderance is on Remember The Milk (RTM). The older interface was much easier to use - swipe/tap/type and you were done. Now I have to swipe/tap/swipe/tap/type to accomplish the same things. Probably just a UI/UX issue but it was clearly one of those, "Hey - Facebook is using this new strategy so we want to do it too!" things rather than a features-first type of overhaul.
Wow, it seems like there is no limit to what you can accomplish by abusing type coercion.

I really enjoy my Kindle Fire, as an ebook reader, rss reader, and web browser it is awesome. 7" form factor is great. Comparing the Nexus 7 to the year old tech of the Kindle Fire (it was originally the BB Playbook), is a bit silly.

If you could arbitrarily pick any character, both are as good as each other. However '\' is currently an escaping character in nearly every program that needs such a function, so as things currently are, '/' is better. This begs the question of when '\' as an escape character became mainstream though.
Are you seriously advocating INTERNAL use of ClO2 in living human patients who have been infected by the malaria parasites, which is the topic of the submitted article that opened this thread? Remember that for in-vivo experimentation, even for in-vivo experimentation on animals before experimenting on human patients, it is only ethical to perform the experiment if there is prior probability of therapeutic effect without undue harm to the patient. Where is there any evidence whatsoever that ClO2 is effective without undue harm when used as an internal medicine?

And as for understanding basic chemistry, my late father the chemistry major (who performed experiments at home with me as a child, and who was my mentor in the philosophy of science) would be APPALLED at not noticing the distinction between using chemicals outside the human body as disinfectants and using them as internal medicines in living human beings.
Thanks for the links. It is interesting to read about the chemistry behind the various oxidizing agents and the selectivity of each.

The difference is that all you have to do to avoid the "quack" label today is produce evidence that your treatment works. If this crazy-ass bleach treatment actually works like they say it does, it shouldn't be hard to produce evidence to back it up. Until and unless they can produce such evidence, it's only right to criticize those promoting the treatment.
It's a fractal, yes, but you can do with only understanding your branch in the highest resolution, you don't need all the details of the whole system (if it's well designed).
I agree that I was vague, however my response was not intended to be an absolute refutation of every argument that follows that pattern, otherwise I'd be playing whack-a-mole with arguments forever. It was meant to be a general explanation of how the argument makes a large assumption that would be pretty easy to refute with further research. As the person above did with a link.

Also, I did give further reading with the selfish gene for a specific example of a bacteria's flagellum.
Yes, the 'minor scaffolding' has side effects. That's why I said it wasn't controversial.
Yes, there's the Garmin Communicator Plugin API, and I'm pretty sure Strava uses this.

Having a small app running in the background that automatically uploads rides is exactly what I want to do someday.
Shouldn't the people advocating its use be the ones researching it? Why is the onus on critics to prove it?

Plugin management is actually a bit complicated, and in the case of Chrome we've had mulitple levels of it for years. The simplest is click-to-play, where the plugin is replaced with a graphic in the page that you can click to run it. This is the most convenient, but is vulnerable to click-jacking or other trickery. Then there's plugin blocking, which doesn't have the click-to-play weaknesses but is less convenient because you need to enable the plugin through a browser control (ie. infobar, page action, or context menu). Finally there's disabling, which just prevents the plugin from running at all.

For out-of-date and perennially vulnerable plugins (like Java) Chrome uses the second mode, which blocks the plugin unless the user accepts it through an infobar. It's not a perfect defense, but we've found it to be extremely effective at preventing exploits because the vast majority of the users don't let the potentially vulnerable plugin run. I'd really like to see this approach catch on more broadly, but other browser makers are understandably cautious about how they should handle plugins.

The links you kindly shared are commercial links posted by a water treatment chemical company that has a commercial interest in promoting using ClO2 rather than other chemicals for water treatment. It may be that everything they say about ClO2 as a water treatment chemical checks out with what independent researchers say, but there is no support here for the idea that ClO2 is an effective internal medicine for malaria infection.

AFTER EDIT: To reply to your kind reply below, I am aware of what reply layer we are in here. But the submitted article, after all, was about treatment of human patients who have already been infected by the malaria parasite. For a top-level comment then to come in under that article that has nothing to do with internal medicine use of the advocated chemical is, at least, a sign of careless reading, and possibly a sign of greater tendentiousness. (Other participants here have pointed out the several words and phrases in several of the comments to which I am replying that suggest that that subthread is not based on familiarity with medical research and the methods of medical research.)

>The point of such a comparison is not to provide a accurate language benchmark by comparing algorithmically identical implementations but to compare the most obvious implementations in those languages that solve a specific problem.

Right, but "parse this text file and then throw the result on the floor" isn't a real problem. The haskell version is deferring some of the work to when the object's actually used - but if you wanted to use that parser in a real program, you'd have to do that work. It's like those webserver benchmarks that you can do much better on by making the server print "HTTP" before it's done any processing.

This seems to be a common problem when benchmarking haskell. You absolutely have to use a program that outputs the real-world result you want, otherwise the clever compiler with its lazy semantics will optimize away all the work.

Are you seriously advocating INTERNAL use of ClO2 in living human patients

No. Did you even read the GP? He said (even in caps) he's looking for "RESEARCH". Also, you don't need a whole animal to do the first tests, you just need a tissue or blood sample from an infected animal to test effectiveness vs. toxicity, and go from there.
You know how you can make it amazing for power meter and non-power meter users alike? Add a feature to help analyze tests. Help guide users to picking an appropriate time interval and course, and help interpret the results, and save those results to a profile.

And as power meters become cheaper and more popular, more people will be looking for ways to interpret that data. Some will turn to Hunter and Coggan's book or to a coach, but some will inevitably turn to sites such as yours for guidance. You already seem to have started down that path, but the more you can do to guide and educate inexperienced power meter users, the better you'll do.

Europeans won't really have their pensions too. The same is about broken American SS system. But it is just so much easier to notice problems somewhere else. At least Chinese werent promised any pension so they save. Do Americans think what will happen if their politicians break the promise? Or pay them wii heavly inflated dollars for their benefits? Have they saved? Oh, no they trust the Government. You see how Americans are stupid and Chinese wise? How can you not save trusting that the Government will pay you pension in an old society?

Pensions made sense in young societies. They are temperorily phenomenon. Have existed for 60 years. Like communism. Gone!
