Sure, I can do that. Design patents are not the same thing as regular ("utility") patents. They are solely to get exclusive right to the form of a functional object so that a 3rd party cannot make a different device with an identical appearance.

What's important is that design patents are really really narrow in scope. A would-be imitator would have to do their best to copy them exactly (like Samsung did with their iPhone copycats) in order to infringe. So no, it would not be enough for a company to have a rounded rectangle device to get in trouble.

Thank you, I just "launched" the site a couple of days ago, so nobody knows about it except my FB friends. Airport data is open-source, although it needed some cleaning (to filter out things like railroad stations etc), weather forecasts are from Wunderground, but the main asset is Destinations. They've been hand-picked (a la Mechanical Turk), although the list is growing. Mainly focusing on ski destinations now, so the starting data set is places that I find interesting for whatever reason. I am experimenting with a couple of other data feeds, trying to gauge their relevance. The list of recommendations you are shown is not random, more interesting places (with better conditions at the time) bubble up.

Traditional travel sites are airport-centric. Say you want to Ski in Alta UT. Most would try to send you to SLC (Salt Lake City), show you weather for Salt Lake City, then try to up-sell you on a hotel in Salt Lake City (or maybe Sandy UT).

Mine's is destination centric. Where you fly to, where you check the weather, where you ski, and where you book your hotel (or even buy lift tickets from) - are not necessarily the same "place". Does this clarify things somewhat?

P.S. Just checked real-time Google Analytics, you guys (HN are awesome, stress testing the site :). Do you think I should do a "show HN" at some point?
wow, they commissioned a survey. Pretty interesting actually.

Again, the analogy is not quite accurate. I find that analogies are often poor justifications of arguments because of widely varying contexts.
In Apple's case there are many other more plausible alternative explanations, such as Apple wanting to avoid a court order. This is bolstered by Apple's reputation for not being very responsive to the public (see: Antennagate, long time until public iOS maps apology).
In the second analogy, there is 1) a personal element (direct asking) and 2) a physical interaction (handing money), neither of which exist in the HN/reddit case.

Is it even possible for humans to move to heavier gravity environments and live? We know they can live in lower gravity environments, and even zero gravity environments if they exercise daily. But humans could be restricted to the Moon and Mars, even asteroids. After travelling in zero gravity so many light years, even moving back to Earth-strength gravity might not be possible.

Main problem, in my opinion, is that most solutions are airport-centric. Say you want to Ski in Alta UT. You can't typically book travel from NYC to Alta, you have to specify "from" JFK/LGA (or NYC) to "SLC", assuming you know exactly where you are going, what the best airport is to fly to etc.

Some let you select "ski" destinations (as Kayak Explore does), so it may send you to SLC (Salt Lake City), show you weather for Salt Lake City, then try to up-sell you on a hotel in Salt Lake City (or maybe Sandy UT).

Mine's is destination centric. Where you fly to, where you check the weather, where you ski, and where you book your hotel (or even buy lift tickets from) are not necessarily the same "place". Make sense?
Aged garlic took mine down. I don't have hypertension so I got off of it; my BP returned to my normal. The studies are actually kind of hit and miss, but it worked for me as a normie.

Another one to look at is pomegranate. A friend of mine was having side effects with his BP medicine, and I made the suggestion to try it, LEF brand pills or POM juice. He was able to get off, had same BP as when on meds, without side effects. There are lots of studies to look at on this on at pubmed, essentially a beta-blocker with some other actions.

Lastly, most people are deficient in potassium. Get some potassium glutamate powder to supplement (not pills as they are regulated to be under 100mg). RDA is 5g, and most people are under 2g a day intake. I have taken 500mg worth of potassium, daily in water, for years without issue.

I am surprised that no one has talked about technical debt yet. This is a classic case of taking technical debt for productivity. Like all forms of debt, some of it is good, it's leverage on your time (ie. you spend less time making it perfect, and more go to market faster), but you need to pay it back at some point in the future.

The key difference between what the author espouses and a good programmer, is that the good programmer makes the conscious choice to accrue the debt in favor of speed and creates an action plan to pay off the debt at a later time.

I do not believe that you can become an a good programmer until you can understand the distinction, make the proper trade-offs necessary to hit project objectives and create an action plan along the way to pay off the debt in the future.

It appears to me you've excluded some cognitive capabilities of musicians. Music is all about timing and anticipation. Let's say you have an instrument e.g. drums which actually emits its sound a little time/milliseconds after the hit. That doesn't stop you to perform accurately with a band, and only little adaption is required. I'm strongly looking forward 'World Music' gets redefined.

Welfare may discourage ambition among the low- and middle-classes, but I don't believe it affects scientists or inventors.

No one is debating the choice between living off welfare or solving the world's problem, and thinking "if welfare was just a bit cushier I could stop inventing".

No, no, no. Polls include a prediction of turnout. That's the point of their likely voter models. They were telling you who was going to go to the polls already, yet the Romney campaign (and essentially all of the conservative establishment) chose to willfully ignore that data on the back of some cherry picked numbers (e.g. Rassmussen) and a set of "unskewed" models that were simply wrong.

There was never any data for that. It was all (incorrect) analysis. So don't say that there was data to support the position, there wasn't.

And the "enthusiasm" numbers were from early in the spring, before likely voter probing can be done. That stuff all disappears once the LV polls start coming out post-primaries.

Let's talk about scientists and inventors - especially the world changing ones that are so rare.

What if it had some effect? I mean, something small - but non zero?

What if it did reduce their drive just enough that it made their rarity almost identical to an absence?

Answer- we don't know. So far, the welfare state seems to have increased scientific output, but maybe there's a limit and too much welfare will damage it.

(Think about Einstein on welfare with enough money not to care- would he have spent time as a patent office clerk? How important was this stint in becoming himself? What effect does it has on others?)

We just don't know - maybe because the welfare state is too recent. With 50 more years, maybe we will notice differences?

I'm only speculating - I'm not sure there is any answer. It's just something that bothering me a lot.

Hey guys,

before we post the same link to "The Best Gym for Startups: Crossfit" two dozen times, let's reflect that Crossfit has a number of issues -- completely absent quality control being chief, with poor exercise selection logic being a close second.

Let me put it this way: injuries per kilowatt-hour.

Kettlebell swings, prowler pushes, etc -- good!

High rep Oly lifting, high rep box jumps, kipping pullups -- terrible!

Crossfit does not distinguish between these exercise selection options.
Pro gamers are the only people that would do this. No one else, using gaming mice like these, move around enough to locations guaranteed to have their mouse on the premise to justify this sort of behaviour.

> Absent significant study, it is absolutely not the place of someone who is a member of the racial majority to declare the extent or impact of racism. You simply have no idea what you're talking about.

The opposite is also true: "Absent significant study, it is absolutely not the place of someone who is a member of the racial minority to declare the extent or impact of racism." Why not say simply it is not the place of someone to declare the extent or impact of racism without study?

Also I believe you are assuming the race of the parent. For all you know they could be a member of a racial minority.

More to the point what is our goal WRT racism? To eliminate associating traits with a person purely based on their race that are not backed up by a correlation? If that's the case affirmative actively works against that goal.
It sounds like what you want is something like what home automation controllers (and commercial building automation controllers) do. They generally run a 'master' program written in some internal scripting language that consists mainly of a bunch of If,Then blocks. These have access to all the sensor states and outputs; it 'wires up' the logic to give a bunch of sensors some rudimentary intelligence.

E.g.

if (external_lightSensor is OFF) then

after 10 minutes, turn on house lights

endif

if (front_door_reed_switch is ON AND home_alarm is ON) then

Turn ON siren for 5 minutes

Your website seems to have died, FYI. I tried at some point to post this as a comment there some of which is redundant given this thread, but the hazards I believe are still a new contribution:

For one pipe steam you can control the radiator by controlling the air vent on the non-steam side. This prevents steam from entering the radiator in order to disable it for some cycles. I was lazy and used the parts below in my apartment, which is a mechanical thermostatic regulator. In my experience, by cutting off the airflow manually part way through, you can have some measure of control over the amount of steam the radiator allows in. I imagine that if you placed thermistors at several points along the length of the radiator, and had the valve portion below, you might be able to cut the steam at 1/3 2/3 full on heat. Keep in mind that when a real cold snap hits, heat is a safety issue and a possible cause of lots of damage if pipes freeze. There is something to be said for old designs of reliable mechanical systems like those below, especially if you go on vacations.
