This is an area where good heuristics solves most of the problem for you, and maybe all of it. Overthinking this is the enemy.

figuring out if each thing is worth selling, donating, or throwing away

You're already overthinking it. The objective here is to simplify your life, not to maximize your income from the shedding operation or find the most appropriate way to donate something. If that has a monetary cost in selling something too cheaply or donating something saleable, that's the cost of hoarding things you don't need.

First, look around you. If, for each thing you see, you can't immediately say why you have it, it goes on 'get rid of' list. This means you'll get rid of something you'll need later on, most likely. That's okay. Rebuying something will imprint in your mind why you need that thing.

Sell anything obviously saleable and big ticket. Couch, computer, bike.... anything that can go quickly on Craigslist for a chunk of cash to the first person who says "I'll take it". Price it to move, not to get rich. Remember the objective.

Donate the rest. Places like the Salvation Army will take a lot of different stuff, and you can just dump it on them. Googling your local recycling or donation centres will give you some more answers. Remember the objective.

Throw out the rest. Again, you'll likely find yourself throwing out a lot, and feeling bad about it. That's good, because the next time you're in a store trying to talk yourself into buying something, you'll think of that huge, wasteful purge, and wonder if this thing you're thinking of buying will be part of the next one. If it's not immediately obvious why you'll keep it around, don't buy it.

Go through a couple cycles like this, and you'll have a lot less stuff around, you'll know why you have the stuff you do, and you'll feel a lot less encumbered by possessions. Also, remember that this doesn't have to happen all at once. Every Saturday, find a bunch of things to donate or sell, and do it. Every Friday night, throw out several things you don't want. Eventually it becomes a continual, easy pruning process, which is ideal.
Wow. They went from hated by the city for hotel/etc. issues, to heroes post-disaster. This was excellent positioning and will help them for a long time, not just in NYC.

The OS itself has nothing to do with ads shown by 3rd party Metr....Windows Store apps.
Addendum: rereading your posts, I see that you defined "limit order". So now I understand what you said.

> Every single additional limit order in the market creates real value.

Bullshit. You don't cover the main case, where 2 speculators make a deal. Show me how value is created (not just transferred) in this case.

I would assume running wires to a few cell towers considerably cheaper than running wires to many villages. Indeed, isn't that why cell phones themselves are much more common than landlines in rural Africa?
The details aren’t important

I disagree. You don't have to name names, but it's hard for me to draw any lessons from your post without knowing specifically what happened. I mean, right now, all I have is your word that this person became hostile and was a jerk. From my perspective, it's your word against his, and you're basically saying, "Trust me, this guy was a total jerk." Well, it's hard for me to believe you without your saying what sort of actions this person took to be a jerk.
You'll probably be downvoted for that comment. I reached the same conclusion, but for whatever reason, this will be different for X reason. Something along the lines of "but we don't pay for iOS". Which is a great argument if you don't care about user experience. It's shameful all around, really.
The fact that you're getting a bad deal from DirectTV doesn't make everyone else's bad deals okay as well.
I'm happy to hear it isn't just me:) I saw the views on my youtube video and have been f5ing the shit out it since then:) I have stopped looking though, knowing that I'm not going to hear anything until the 13th and that is still super quick. I'm used to working with federal grants which take months before you see anything, so I'm happy that we only have a 13 day turn around time (and I have to give them credit for getting through that much so quickly).

So to answer your question, "what have others experienced this round", I'm gonna go with:
1. "oMGBBQ!!!, I got 2 views!"
2. followed by "f5,f5,f5,f5,f5,f5,f5" then..
3. "ok, so if I get in, I"m gonna do (enter stupidly long list of things that I'll forget to do here) which then leads to..
4. I should have talked about xyz in the application, DAMniT! which then goes back to number 3, then 4, then 3 and ends with
5. "shut up and go to sleep brain!" (and then I start all over again)

Discussion on Reddit from a month ago: http://www.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/10f3al/clever_siri_if...

In that thread, I commented:

In my opinion a much better question would be "Do you mean in 9 hours?". If you say yes, set it for today. If you say no, then it's tomorrow.
When cable came out it was billed as no-ads.

Greed gets in the way, as a consumer you've got too little power to say no. It's use the service with ads or get nothing.

It's exploitation, but what can you do?

In my opinion forced ads are an overall societal drain, a niggling little evil cheapening all our lives, but as I said, what can you do?
Why can't we vote online?
"link".

From that article:

"""Conclusions
Despite all of the uncertainties surrounding the cannabis-psychosis link... The evidence suggests that cannabis is associated with an increased risk of psychosis when it is used frequently. Whether cannabis can trigger a primary psychotic disorder that would not have otherwise occurred is unclear.

However, in most individuals who use cannabis, psychosis does not develop, which suggests that the increased risk must be related to other vulnerability factors (genetics, frequency, or age of onset of cannabis misuse)."""
Couldn't someone have editoralized that title? It's not very informative.

I agree that the exact interaction will depend on the setting and that it will take time to perfect. We're on it and open to suggestions!

Re: "Do I have to be hospitalized?", I believe our original intent was to show practicality, though in retrospect it does seem off. Thanks for the catch!
And a fun fact: it even calculates it correctly across a daylight savings time change. I noticed that when the clocks went back; instead of just subtracting the times, my Android phone accounted for the change and added the hour that I was getting back. Awesome!
Between AdBlock in Firefox and Chrome I don't usually see any ads on the web, so the ads can be a big shock when I try to use Internet Explorer.

I suppose if the the ads become too obtrusive in the OS itself I'll have to start modifying my router to block the them: http://www.howtogeek.com/51477/how-to-remove-advertisements-...
Whilst that may seem like intellegent design, you'll notice that you can't see the current date anywhere on that screen without making assumptions.

This screen would make me feel uneasy and over-analyse the options. (Does it mean yesterday or today? today or tomorrow?)

It would be nice if it also showed the day of the week on each option.

While "the best" is certainly different for everyone, it's always interesting to see what works for different people.

The research and details are what makes this pursuit interesting for me. Usual reviews tend not to cover these things (one of the reasons I enjoy the work of John Siracusa).

I would be extremely interested in a list of the things you have found to be best for you, and the reasons you came to that decision, or the process by which you arrived there.
In China, Peking, Tsinghua, Fudan are all in the top 5. Not as prestigious as your kid getting into HYPS, or many other foreign universities. For France there are the Grandes Ecoles like Sciences Pos or Ecole des Mines. The Sorbonne is a normal public university, of normal selectivity, with no way of attracting anything but normal academics. The German and Italian systems have no equivalent of the Grandes Ecoles. There are good departments but no good universities.

I'm not familiar with GRW, Penrose's theory is obviously more than an interpretation, he postulates new physics which is experimentally testable. The MWI does nothing of the sort to they're not at all similar.

Looks like you are trying to confuse the issue: to deny that QM interpretations are not experimentally testable, you bring into discussion a bunch of things which are not interpretations, but actual scientific theories, and call them "interpretations." You might as well argue that the ancient Greek religion was testable (you could climb Mount Olympus and see whether Zeus was there or not), therefore religions are testable, therefore the existence of God is a scientific fact.

Regardless of wonderful qualities of the GRW theory and the Penrose interpretation, the fact stands that there is no experimental way, even in principle, to distinguish between MWI and Copenhagen. If you teach cats or mice or West Highland Terriers to perform quantum mechanical experiments, they will still not be able differentiate experimentally between MWI and Copenhagen. And you will not be able to determine whether measurements performed by cats cause wave function collapse, because you will have to observe the cat to ask him what he observed.

I'll go with the first choice.
I'd much rather see ads during TV than have to personally cover much more of the cost producing the shows I want to watch. Just keep in mind that there are other perspectives out there. I know some people hate ads and would rather pay more, and I don't blame them for that, but I'm largely the opposite.

(This breaks down some for internet display ads where there are privacy concerns with the data being tracked, unlike with broadcast-to-everyone TV ads; I'm not aware of how much data is shared between advertisers and such with this program for W8 apps to know just how big of an issue that might be.)
It's not just me. It's tens of millions of paying customers. The other pay TV services are the same. It matters not what the example is, the point is that companies display ads to paying customers and have for some time now. So we should not be surprised when other companies start doing this.
Thanks for all the comments. So ya the attorney will incorporate in delaware as a c corp. i do sell apps on the app store right now as an individual.

I am outsourcing some of the development and so he mentions it is important to incorporate to protect the ip. It will include some form for freelancers to sign.

The third thing is that i plan to do this at night and weekends while i test out the market and i dont want it to potentially conflict with work ip. I plan to release and sell small pieces of software to test each step of the way. Or maybe just free software.

Thanks.

I'd assume the device version + iOS version + device ID is sent in the request and Apple maps this to the corresponding Siri version/database/API.. there would be no technical reason why iOS 5 can't see the same POI's as 6, only whatever business policy Apple has decided to implement. eg. freezing updates to the 5's database.

I'm sure the back-end processing is the same, but because 6 supports or will support new commands, then they are running separate instances & databases which results in varying update schedules.

As long as they don't restrict based on device model (only iOS version) then I'm happy with that.
> But I do think it's conceivable that one candidate's predicted overwhelming chance of victory might have a way of becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy in a close election.

It also has the possibility for the opposite by lowering turnout for the "winning" candidate. Why vote? Nate Silver already called the election, etc.

There are other ways in which polling data itself can influence an election. It appears that Nate Silver did an great job early on at predicting the effect of changing demographics in swing states like Florida--which ended up giving the election to Obama. Hindsight being 20/20, if the Romney team had paid more attention to that (and perhaps compromised on things like immigration reform), things could have gone very differently.
WebRTC lands in Chrome, Finally
thanks. to be clear then, the program is "bad and ill-timed" because there is no educational framework or material ready to support the tablets. so by the time it does start rolling in, there's a danger that the devices will be out-dated.
Indeed. I don't like desktop apps containing ads, but this is exactly what was predicted to happen with the shift to Metro. Metro, just like iOS and Android, needed a universal way to have ads in apps. This means that Metro apps running on the desktop can contain adds.

It's the existing mobile sphere coming together with the desktop world, and is just a side effect of the introduction of Metro.

"Alarm set for 9 hours, is this correct?"

Is less intimidating for the user, this way they aren't being asked to calculate something, rather being asked to confirm a calculation.

The difference is trivial and subtle.

> Steve suddenly got more intense. "Rectangles with rounded corners are everywhere! Just look around this room!". And sure enough, there were lots of them, like the whiteboard and some of the desks and tables. Then he pointed out the window. "And look outside, there's even more, practically everywhere you look!". He even persuaded Bill to take a quick walk around the block with him, pointing out every rectangle with rounded corners that he could find.
This is a false dilemma and a straw man. You're implying that you can't care about people if you care about owning quality items. Dustin never said he takes time away from his relationships for this endever.

Do you ever spend time reading about something you don't need to know? How many times have you ended up on wikipedia reading about something or watching a documentary on TV that isn't relevant to your primary interests? Many hackers want to know and understand as much about the world as they can. What's wrong with understanding flatware?
No, it's because many developing countries "skipped" a technology. They missed out on land-lines because they were undeveloped, and now they have electricity and infrastructure, they jump straight to cell phones.

For this reason, countries like Ecuador, Guatemala, etc. Have cell phone rates higher than developed countries like Australia and the US.

Dustin Curtis's problem here is that he thinks his subjective preferences are objectively true. I mean, if he says 'I love this flatware because it has these beautiful proportions, is manufactured in such-and-such a way, and exudes timeless quality etc. etc.', then great - he's a good designer, I'm interested in his aesthetic philosophy. But when he says 'I am the arbiter of quality' he's lost me. By doing so, he rejects the possibility of tastes other than his own and comes off as absurdly egotistical.

I don't know if Dustin Curtis is married, but if not he may be in for a bit of a surprise down the road, when it turns out that his view is not the only one that matters.

No, this isn't talking about a service. It's talking about apps that come with the system, that can't be removed, that have advertising in them.

None of the apps that come with iOS use iAds. Same with Android.
This is all I could think about while reading your comment (the last line really kind of makes me think) :

Narrator: There's always that. I don't know, it's just...when you buy furniture, you tell yourself: that's it, that's the last sofa I'm gonna need. Whatever else happens, I've got that sofa problem handled. I had it all. I had a stereo that was very decent, a wardrobe that was getting very respectable. I was close to being complete.

Tyler: Shit, man, now it's all gone.

Narrator: All gone.

I am not sure if being a founder means that you will be unhappy. Personally I feel that that by being a founder you are constantly exposing yourself to circumstances that could cause you to be "unhappy" -- there is no end to the ups and downs.
Yeah. I love AdBlock, and I've donated. But it still can't filter out pay-to-play content (which, working in the industry I can tell you is far more prevalent than even the most cynical of people think), or anything of that ilk.

And the same thing's true of filtering: I also block all ad, social, and various other tracking networks from my entire network, but that's not going to change the fundamental dynamics at play, unless a really large number of people vote with their eyeballs, wallets, cookies, browser data, referrer data, and so on.

And if enough people did, the stakeholders would just move on to the next gateway (as if they haven't already).

I suspect the knee-jerk reaction to this is that it is a horrible thing, but if you look at the examples, these are mostly content 'apps' web-pages where you would normally have ads anyway.

It is up to the publisher/developer if they are going to put ads in their apps. There are places where ads belong, and where they don't. The publisher/developer needs to take into consideration their target market, and if ads are acceptable.

Placing ads in my video-editor is likely not a good idea. I need the screen real-estate, and I'm in a highly focused state. The advertisers likely don't want to be there anyway. Same with when I'm building a powerpoint. But when I'm watching a video, looking at my calendar, etc. etc. Ads can be beneficial.

And no, I'm not in advertising.
Record everything you use for a week. Throw away everything else.

An argument can also be made that this is a net negative contribution, as instead of a market employing hundreds of people, it's only employing dozens. Ergo, more unemployed people. While this is good for the market's owners and those currently employed to trade there, it is bad for the economy as a whole.

This is the age-old debate of maximizers vs satisficers:

http://happiness-project.com/happiness_project/2006/06/are_y...

In a nutshell, Dustin is a maximizer.

Regarding flatware, my views have changed as I've grown older (I'm 26). A few years ago, I didn't care. Now, for some reason, I always reach for a specific knife/fork combo: I like the weight (most are too light for me), the balance between the handle and the blade/tines and the industrial design. Eating with them just feels better.
Do they? No one seems to be using them despite the fact that centralized DNS seems to be fatally flawed. Maybe it just really isn't that big of a problem when put in context.

> Mostly I'm really bummed Johnson only got 1% this time around.

Third party candidates don't stand a chance in a FPTP system, because a vote for Johnson is, in practical terms, a vote against Romney (in swing states, that is; the idiocy of the electoral college ensures that it really doesn't matter in states like MO). You either need to have a proportional voting system for Congress so that third parties can gain a foothold in the public conscious, or you need IRV, à la Australia, so people don't feel like their vote's being wasted.
