Bread is a carb and a protein, obviously.

You think you were helpful and I am not because you believe what you say. But you have not stopped to consider that perhaps you are simply wrong and I am calling you out on it.

Your problem is that you wrote something wrong - doubly wrong. You wrote that gluten is a carb, and that it's bad for you. But not only is it not a carb, it's also not bad for you unless you are sensitive to it. Wheat is what took humanity from weak scattered encampments to full civilizations, it's not called the staff of life for nothing.

And when you added the legumes are bad for you, all doubt I had if perhaps you were right vanished.
I hope you learn from this thread. Because that source was wrong, and you need to update your beliefs.

They had some in those days, they were called "overlays" although that might have been in the 90's and dos protected mode, etc. I'm sure the help, etc were in separate files.

Thanks ndunn2. When I built the commenting system, I figured that asking people for the bare minimum information from their twitter account would be enough to get them to sign up, but it really seems I was wrong. I worried anon posts would result in too many "stfu nigger fag" type comments, and didn't want to give up any design to Disqus. And sign-up on the site I figured was too much of a hastle. Ugh......
Oh goodness. Encoding all of that in PostScript or XPS? D:
>This couldn't have been out of spite. Just to kick Google off the platform.

I think you are being generous. I really think that's what it was about. It actually is the Occam's Razor explanation.
I deal with a lot of text data so I use NLTK for Natural Language Processing. In addition, maptplot lib for publication quality figures and graphs. I don't really have a motivation to shift to Python 3.
I see. A lot of women are going to be angry when I tell them they've been reverse engineered. Kudos.
"I think the kind of startups that we talk about here have a lot in common with the traditional Japanese corporate office culture."

You think the startup founders working 18 hour days are dicking around for most of that time? I'd say you're almost certainly wrong.

I'm not saying the post is wrong either, a good work/life balance might be the path to success. But the people who don't have that are not playing WoW all day at work.
I think it's because Safari likes to cache the page as an image and avoid re-rendering it where possible. This is an assumption of mine, but I suspect it is the reason why position: fixed used to be broken on Mobile Safari.
That is one of the biggest misperceptions in the mainstream: that PUA is about using negs/DHV/kino. the reality is that most good methods will emphasize that a decent part of this is a numbers game and simply about talking to enough girls. That in itself is a skill.

As an example, my results shot up significantly when I went from talk to 1 girl every 4 hours at the beginning to 5-10 an hour. I happen to try and find a girl who naturally digs me than one who needs convincing.
The only point I'm trying to make is that it's misleading to characterize the median or modal size of US employers by using the Fortune 500.

Census offers statistics on which employer size brackets employ how many people. ~41MM people in the US are employed by firms with fewer than 100 employees, ~72MM people are employed by those with more than 100 employees. In the smaller company bracket, more people are employed by companies with between 20 and 100 employees than at smaller companies.

All the Fortune 500 tells you is the size of the 500 most profitable companies. And my earlier point was simply this: the "501th company", which just missed being included on the F500, is presumably gigantic; KeyCorp just barely got onto the list.

Visual Studio 2012 tries to provide IntelliSense for JavaScript, but it'll only show symbols it can find at design-time (statically-reachable) instead of all of the possible symbols available at run-time. The IDE has the same problem with C# dynamics. Anyway, C# developers raised on perfect IntelliSense from versions past can stumble when relying on IntelliSense for JavaScript. This can lead to code that's written to appease the IDE instead of the idioms of the language.

Personally, I prefer the way Sublime Text 2 implements auto-complete (for dynamic languages anyway) -- it simply indexes the words previously typed in the file.
No, not marketing. Growth has been flat. The market relies on growth. From an investors point of view if you aren't growing then someone else is so they should divest from your company and go to something else.

A few people asked me for recommended reading, so I added "Additional references" to the bottom of the article. I put a couple of my favorite books there. There are tons of great sources for inspiration online, but as far as educative (wow that's a word?) material goes, a lot of design web articles are sadly pretty crappy.
A comparison to Lightspeed Pascal (which was not quite so small but well under 400kB) might be more instructive. (Or Mac Pascal -- an interpreted Pascal IDE available on the Mac even earlier.) It had a proper GUI, could (theoretically) have been localized by editing resources, had undo (one level) and find/replace, the Mac was networked from day one, and so on.
Fortune does this too and their articles are typically quite good, as was this one. People gotta monetize somehow.
tl;dw: They accusers eventually backed down.

This is relevant to any webmaster who maintains a web2.0 website (so basically every webmaster today). Interestingly enough I still can't find any legal terms or even copyright on skeptical-science.com which is kind of disappointing because I wanted to see how well those disclaimers of the type "All comments, links and content is user generated and owned by the poster. No legal responsibility..." hold up in court.
Some of their investors don't seem very credible. Obviously investors they spoke to picked up on the fact that many of their customers complain about them. According to ScamBook "10,000 people viewed their article about 'JustFab Scam".
This is the way most vertical ecommerce startups are operating. My friend just got a charge from a site that she bought a promotional item and turns out they're a subscriptiOn service and if you didn't sign in and check skip this month, they'll bill you without shipping you an actual good.

Which also brings up a thought, remember that there was a used one credit card number thing a whole back, I'm betting this will get popular soon enough with all these things happening.
There are plenty of offshore credit card processing companies & banks who provide "high risk billing" solutions for scammy businesses like this one.
True, I missunderstood the point. They are basically using the wind to "push" them and increase total energy, once they get the "push" of strong altitude winds, they dive to convert that fast ground speed into air speed(kinetic energy), and then pull again against the wind to receive another push. Any way the wind gradient is too thin and close to the ground to be of any use for a commercial plane.

Maybe it could be done in a jet stream. Just the same principle but coming in and out of a jet stream instead.
I can't see how even the pay could justify living such a miserable life. I feel like the life of a miserably rich banker scales perfectly down to a simple conversation I had with a taylor in Hong Kong last month.

He mentioned to me that it had been a long day for him, so I asked him what long was. He told me he'd been working for 17 hour, and that he's used to working only 15. Aghast, I said wow! That's a lot of work, but at least it's Friday. He told me it didn't matter, because he worked 7 days a week. He also mentioned that the last day off he'd taken had been over a month prior, and that it was because he was sick.

I remember thinking, what's the point of living? This man works all day every day so that he can live, but he's only living to work. And honestly, that's exactly what I see in the bankers. Yeah, you make an enormous amount of money, but your job makes you so miserable that you don't even enjoy having it, so what's the point?
The principal that prevents the police from attaching GPS devices to your car has less to do with the scope of surveillance and more to do with the fact that the police have to violate your personal property to accomplish it.
L/D and glide ratio are equal numbers. It's a matter of basic geometry. While different concepts, they'll always be the same value for a given aircraft.
Although I used it in the early nineties, I had a much different experience than you mention. TP had Turbo Vision, a very usable windowing library. You could open code in one window and help in another ... hotkeys opened up the help on the current word etc.

I also dialed into BBSs and downloaded .gifs of elle macpherson, so plenty to do. All on a 386/40. I moved up to a 486/40 at some point.

p.s. You can't go back.
Your right about the haddock instead of plaice, remember when I first experienced it in Bradford many years back and got downfounded looks with regards to Cod.
Yeah. I think this is ridiculously over the top - why don't we just use WebGL for this kind of thing? Why should CSS be able to perform every kind of filtering people can think of?

When do you think iPhone 5 was designed? Jobs died a day after iPhone 4S was announced, do you think Apple just sit there if iPhone 4/4S and had nothing in pipeline?
It would not surprise me a bit if iPhone 6 was also blessed by Jobs himself.
No. (As per Betteridge's Law of headlines, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridges_Law_of_Headlines)

> or you'll be billed and receive NO product.

Actually it says you'll be billed for a "Member Credit", which "can be redeemed for any JustFab style on the site".

I'm not sure what that means exactly, but if you can actually redeem one of those credits for $39.95 worth of product, then 1. it's still very misleading because you spent a lot more money in their store, on their products than you intended to, but 2. at least your money didn't just evaporate, except 3. is there anything preventing them from at some point deciding "From now on, we will only sell novelty dish-washing sponges, at the great rate of one credit per sponge!", making all out-standing credits worthless in a single TOS change?
I thought the Kaufmann survey covered tech entrepreneurs specifically? How would those companies not qualify as startups?

Isn't it possible that due to the way YC is structured ($18k of funding for 3 months where you have to relocate to the Bay Area), your sample is strongly biased towards younger founders, and that the median age for a successful startup founder is actually 40 or older?
Great suggestions throughout this thread. If I had to bucket them, three categories come to mind:

1. A quiet place where you can bang out work (e.g. libraries)

2. Somewhere with more of a scene where you can work and also mix with others in the startup / tech ecosystem (e.g. GA, Ace)

3. Somewhere like #2 but with a little more NYC flavor and less tech (e.g. Kaffe 1668)

I believe you to be mistaken. I did not include it as a joke, and using "sic" in this context is literally correct. The reference is to "Muphry's" law (carefully note the spelling), and almost everyone would assume that I had mis-spelled that, intending instead "Murphy's" law. Using "sic" indicates that it is written as I intended.

Quoting Wikipedia:

The Latin adverb sic ("thus"; in full:
sic erat scriptum, "thus was it written")

The usual purpose is to inform the reader
that any errors or apparent errors in the
transcribed material do not arise from

This is to a certain extent based on a misconception. First, 'negging' is simply one tactic in the arsenal of the PUA, although in the present circulation it receives a good deal of prominence due to its counter-intuitive nature and the legions of doltish would-be PUAs that run around 'negging' people since they don't have any other social skills. Sadly, here, as elsewhere, the audience which is most likely to get into the "Game" most completely are those that have the lowest prospects to start with, and a few tricks are not going to change someone with no social skills into Prince Charming in a matter of sessions.

That said, although I have more or less agreed with you with regards to the 'social stunted' part (as a generalization) 'negging' is not particularly targeted at the emotionally damaged who respond to being put down. It is a tactic charged at the supremely confident, attractive girl who is used to blowing off guys who approach her. The 'neg' is, consequently, first and foremost, an expression of confidence by the person who is approaching her. He is not approaching her as a fawning wretch, but someone who thinks of himself as her equal or even superior.

That this can be a turn on of sorts, esp. when contrasted with the usual types of social interaction encountered by very attractive women at bars and clubs, should be obvious. That the usual types of social interaction at bars and clubs are far from ideal or normative is hopefully also understood.
It is really difficult to look into the tea leaves and find an answer to why things happen.

After spending the entirety of my twenties working on failed startup after failed startup I finally reached something that actually is turning a profit.

Now that I'm well past my twenties I no longer have interest in working those extreme hours but I'm not sure if I would have had enough experience to make some of the decisions I do today had I not invested all that time in failed businesses. It's a catch-22. I feel that my time spent against the grindstone was beneficial in my experience but I'm loathe to suggest anyone else go through the same process.

I think the only advice that is worthwhile is "you need a rock outside your company" you need something that isn't subject to the whims of the market that you can rely on. If the company is your rock then failure is going to hit you very hard; you'll be cleaning up your office with nothing - no life, no family, no friends.

Everything else is subject to how you operate.

You can certainly learn Java (the language) and a small part of basic libraries in a couple of months

But to learn "the entire" language is impossible (this applies pretty much to everything today)

But Turbo Pascal is probably the size of JS+jQuery today (in number of "things" you can do)
I don't think C# ever broke backwards compatibility and they have no problems adding plenty of nice features every release.
Look into MaxMind MinFraud. In addition to providing a 'risk score' for your online orders, it's also a kind of collective blacklist like you described. Any MaxMind customer can report an IP or e-mail address as associated with a fraudulent order, and any other MaxMind customer who recently scored an order with the same IP or e-mail gets a warning about the increased risk.
worthless postings should be pointed out, i believe, so that we can have quality links on the front page. this sugar coating which seems to be so popular with the hacker news community these days is not helping anyone.
You don't think Ruby on Rails requires the overhead of a server???

There are perfectly good and very sophisticated MVC frameworks available for PHP, such as CakePHP (one of the closer to Rails, even down to the command-line "baking" of models, controllers, etc.).

There are meaningful differences to development using both languages, but criticizing PHP because it was popularized independently of any specific framework is not one of them. Especially since there are plenty of situations (think dumb but scalable web services) in which the last thing you want to do is invoke the overhead of a framework in any language.
I've posted a Python version of the main max clique algorithm at https://github.com/peterderivaz/maxclique

This implements the algorithm as I understood it described in the paper.

A small implementation detail that might accelerate things (that I haven't yet implemented) might be to sort the neighbours of each vertex in order of decreasing degree.

This would then allow the calculation of the set in "Pruning 5" of Algorithm 1 to terminate as soon as d(w) <= max.
Thankfully that shit has been made illegal in the Netherlands a few years ago. One of the more important motivations was, like you say, how blatantly those scams are targeted at teenagers.
Not all technology companies are startups, just as not all startups are technology companies.
I think the usual answer would involve looking at articles about customer development, lean startup, etc. But if you're still employed at your current company, it might be tricky (legally and ethically) to talk to potential customers and write a prototype.

Sorry for the obvious question, but does that "crappy interface" and using Excel imply that completing the task entails substantially more time than by using your hypothetical software?

If it's just user-interface/usability problems then you have to think twice before putting a lot of effort on it.
I think this is kind of a symptom of market economy thinking where people remove all "inefficiencies" to lower costs and improve profit. It seems to be common thinking that two major things which are viewed as "inefficiencies" are work/life balance and working environment. Not getting 110%, or at least the appearance that you're getting 110%, out of your employees is considered inefficient which breeds poor work environment. Humans aren't numbers and when you see them almost entirely as numbers people become inhumane. It's also not always clear when trying to judge the impact a person has or if someone is giving 50% versus 110%.
" I'm talking about the trend to make that app store the only distribution channel available."

Indeed. I think Microsoft is retreating into an echo chamber. By making the app store the only practical way to distribute products, Microsoft is missing all the wild things that might catch on if they would only let them alone.

The browser comes to mind. Or the spreadsheet.
I've noticed that most people who have trouble grasping evolution are making two mistakes: they tend to look from a given adaption back in into time for a rather simple linear path to describe the adaption, and they don't grasp the shear number of iterations that occurred and the massive number of random adaptions that failed.
ok, neat... but what does the "age of my browser" mean?
Seems like it would, the requirement is the wind shear. This is something a UAV could experiment with.
When you say "a fast-growing function that can be proven computable using the Peano axioms," do you mean that the Peano axioms are used to compute the function, or that the Peano axioms are used to prove that the function is computable?
That's not true. I remember trying to learn Turbo Vision, this text-based GUI library that it came with. The reference documentation that it came with was awful and I tried doing that with the help of a book. Couldn't understand anything.
I agree. Just because your definition of travel is apparently centered around outdoorsy activities that take you far away from civilization doesn't mean that there aren't other reasons to travel that are just as viable, but not nearly as desolate. I for example, prefer to spend my time in big cities. That just happens to be what I like. If I were to take a trip to Tokyo, I would want to spend a lot of my time eating at Japanese restaurants, meeting new people and hanging out at Japanese bars, and just experiencing what life is like for the average person who lives there. And honestly, for that sort of travel, this service could be really cool.

On another level, it's even useful for finding the parts of a city you've never seen before. I've lived in Los Angeles my whole life, and have begun to find it very boring, but perhaps if I were to unlock parts of the city that I didn't realize I'd never been to before, I could make some interesting new discoveries and keep myself entertained without even having to travel!
This reminds me a lot of some of the Culture things that Iain M Banks has described, also in his latest novel Surface Detail which also describes the open spaces with weightlessness.
The ringed worlds were already described earlier in the series.
>Saying that the vendor of a product carries the burden of persuasion that their product isn't solely intended for infringement is very different from suggesting that all technology should be enjoined by default.

I'm not clear on how it's different. If the product is solely intended for infringement then it gets enjoined, right? So they're arguing that by default, unless the vendor can prove otherwise (the vendor having the burden of proof), the product should get enjoined on request.
Can you give a citation or backing research? In my experience, if you've got two similar operations, the one on the GPU will consume less power (assuming you don't need to transfer substantially more data over the bus).
> The number of technologies you need to know reasonably well to do a basic business function online is nuts.

While this is true on the high end there is also a massive amount of help/tutorials/documentation available today which circumvents this issue for most applications. In many situations all someone really needs is basic understanding and the ability to google effectively to find the proper snippets of code to copy/paste. Few applications get to the point in either scalability or complexity where deep knowledge of the involved technologies is required.
