That you're systematic, coherent and understand that there is often more than one way to solve a problem. It tells us you welcome communication and want to ensure that even if someone doesn't have your email address that they are given different common options which will get a message to someone, given a name. I presume you also have suitable group aliases. You're the type of people who don't rush things and make mistakes, preferring to analyse and do things properly with consideration for the future and the unknown.
So he just put in a remote shell and removed the actual code? I've found a couple remote shell scripts on my server over the years as they got compromised, I was always impressed with how much they could really do from 1 file to my server. Scary stuff.

Sure, I think that's fair. The whole thing could definitely have been done a lot classier. And I don't doubt there are better online versions of these games already out there - I've since found a better (flash) version of lunar lander.

This might help explain a feature of Japanese restaurants in America, one that I actually quite like: They are unlikely to serve portions that will strain you if you attempt to eat them in one sitting.

To first order, in unsophisticated American restaurants, the culture emphasizes bulk: If a quarter-pound hamburger is good, half a pound is obviously better, and if the restaurant offers you free fries they'll be surprised if you say no, because, hey, free fries! They will of course happily offer you boxes to take food home (there are restaurants at which one order will feed you for three meals) but in general restaurant eating is a system for packing on pounds, unless you constantly focus on eating just a tiny portion of everything you're served, or you eat in teams of two or three and order strategically.

Presumably they cover this in all the good Japanese-language guides to the USA, because otherwise it must be really stressful to the poor tourist, confronted with a stack of pancakes that one can barely lift, let alone finish eating.

In my opinion, it is shameful he ran away. C'mon -- it was only 12 months jailtime; most likely he would be let go after 3-4 months for a good behavior. Serving this time he would be, technically, off the LE charts. This way he is just another "criminal on the run" and now sure prosecutor will be looking for more jailtime.

We're a fun team and we're looking for people who enjoy coding as much as we do. Our current engineering team is small which means everyone has a very strong influence on the product and everyone makes a difference. On the cultural side, we have a very open and collaborative environment. Weekly grocery deliveries to our full kitchen and free lunch every two weeks.

We use Java, Tomcat, Maven, Spring, Hibernate, PostgreSQL, and have too many Linux servers to count. If big data and web applications are your thing, we're the place with almost 100TB of data and taking in over 100GB per day.

> What's Really Delaying the Defeat of Aging?

That's easy to answer -- our ignorance of cell biology. We only have a superficial understanding of a cell's life cycle and mechanisms.

But this isn't part of the author's reality. A quote from the article: "I broke the back of the first problem in mid-2000, when I realized that regenerative medicine - repairing the accumulating damage of aging - will probably be far simpler and easier to implement than the alternative followed by most biogerontologists, namely slowing the creation of that damage. By that time, I had also done most of the heavy lifting of item 2 (as I continued to do thereafter), by connecting with leading researchers worldwide, mostly face to face at conferences, and improving their understanding ..."

Wow -- you "broke the back" of a problem that in fact remains unsolved, did "most of the heavy lifting", and spoke to many leading scientists, "improving their understanding" of the basic issues? Based on those quotes, this isn't about aging and gerontology, it's about narcissism. And narcissism, like aging, is at present incurable.

The author goes on to complain about a lack of funding, but the problem isn't funding, the problem is a lack of plausible ideas. Obviously if some likely attack on this problem were proposed and backed up by scientific evidence, there would be unlimited funding. The sparse funding speaks for itself. And the author's tendency to "improve the understanding" of the scientists working in this field isn't a solution, it's an unsolved problem.
I'm curious to see the usability. If I look at the way I usually hold my phone, about 5-7mm of the front are obscured. I'm not saying this is bad, but I'd have to see it in action.
San Francisco, CA. Full time. H1B okay.

50% of traffic is now driven by social media, and referrer information is increasingly useless with mobile clients and HTTPS. Traditional web analytics doesn't work for social traffic. So awe.sm is building full-featured social media conversion tracking and analytics.

Right now and in the medium term, we're providing immediate value to our customers by giving them firm numbers on the ROI of their social media efforts, in terms of dollars, signups, pageviews or any other metric they pick. Our APIs allow app developers to easily integrate social features into their products and easily present the analyzed data back to their own customers, without having to build their own processing clusters and workflows.
Longer term, we want to know what's important on the Internet, and we believe that instrumenting social behavior is the way to do that.

We're looking for back-end engineers who are interested in learning how to handle large volumes of data for aggregation, geo analysis, and graph analysis, in close to real time. We're currently in transition from a mixed stack of PHP and Ruby to JVM languages -- we believe in simple parts loosely coupled, and also in picking the right tool for the job, so you genuinely have the power to shape the stack you work on.

We're also looking for front-end developers to continue to build out our GUI, which is a backbone JS app built on top of the same APIs our customers use.

We use an IRC server for team communication and are agile in the sense that we move quickly and react fast, not in the sense of having attended an overpriced training course.
Most humanely raised and slaughtered meat is only marginally more expensive

The skeptic in me wonders if this is because what you think is humanely raised and slaughtered isn't, really, and plays the rules to earn the label and higher price while only marginally increasing costs.

Alternative terminology can also be used to make high-density confinement sound more palatable. For example: cage-free, free-running, free-roaming, naturally nested, etc. are used as an alternative to the technical term, high-density floor confinement.

The value added compared to a list of pictures is:

- spaced repetition engine: the pictures that are served to you are customized depending on how you did on previous sessions, so as to lead to an optimal learning rate

- timer: motivates the user and turns the exercise in a sort of game

- asking for self-evaluation: forces the user to go over their output and self-feedback

How do you think I could made this value more evident? Or do you think that not a strong enough value proposition?

Sorry but the author attribues the deficiencies of the patent system to Apple. If not Apple someone else would have done it. I would also contest the competition argumen by saying that lesser clones in the market make for better competition.

What's disheartening is that Samsung actually spent considerable effort to make these phones look different

When Samsung closes a door, they open a window. Check out the S Voice UI: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGxYZXjXozc

This is the one thing that made the 4S stand out from the 4, and Samsung basically wholesale copied the UI.
Actually, soy "meat" doesn't even get that far - if you look at the nutrition information on a soy burger patty you'll find that it's full of fat. Like, ludicrous portions of fat that would compete with the fattiest ground beef you can buy.

And it still tastes awful.

In fact, if you look at a lot of soy meat substitutes out there, a lot of them are not at all good for you. The whole "soy meat healthier than real meat" thing is pure perception.
