Interesting. Being satiated after a meal is really a marker for obesity - if you eat less to get to your satiation point vs. someone else who has to eat more to get there, you're less likely to put on the pounds. I wonder if this pathogen messes with that sense of being satiated.
The writing style of this post is pretty fun. Sometimes bringing highly technical science down to "sorting out this extra crap (that you don't care about)" level of accessibility is a good way to give people an overview of a concept they may not otherwise have the time to dig in to.

Somebody on facebook has never heard of the Streisand Effect. This is actually a really great fix for facebook and it implements a lot of features I've really wanted. For example, the ability to hide sponsored stories.
It would be interesting to know what FB (or Twitter, for that matter) tells its advertisers about how they can purportedly control the appearance of commercial content to the user. Are they upfront about the realities and the risks? Are they leading the advertisers on? Are advertisers well-informed? What would advertisers have to say about the existence client-side options that can easily manipulate content to the user's preferences? It would be interesting to know.

You mean the template pattern as described in GOF? Very nice nice and underused pattern, but sometimes it is better to use some event based system as mentioned in the article and sometimes it is better to just be rude and overwrite a method (very nice metaphore BTW).

More "traditional" OO like C++ or Java let the developer choose. The "traditional" way gives you more flexibility and more ways to shoot yourself in your foot.

No. It is pretty much impossible to overload your body's ability to absorb carbohydrates without a) exploding your stomach or b) you have some other health problem. By the time the food you eat gets to the bacteria, there are no sugar, fat or protein left. We absorb it all. We store extra of the first two and excrete the third (in a modified form) through urine.

Refined/processed food should be eaten in minimal quantities because it spikes blood sugar and causes insulin fatigue, which in the long run causes Type II diabetes.

Saying that all philosophical topics are just embryonic scientific topics is just as reductive and rigid as dividing the two by "how" and "what".

Philosophy of mind is probably the dominant research area in contemporary philosophy, and I think you'd find a lot that doesn't overlap at all with empirical psychology.
I'm not saying that the guards couldn't be privately employed (which is the case in SFO, for an example) - as long as they have to enforce TSA stupid rules, that doesn't matter (anecdotal evidence suggests the guards in SFO are friendlier than average, but this can have many causes).

I was referring to making security a private concern in the same way operating an airline is a private concern - that I struggle to see how would work: How do you align the long-term interest that a terror attack doesn't occur with the short-term horizon of an industry that bankrupts itself every decade?

On the other hand, FAA seems to be mostly sane and evidence-driven, so they might take on the task of creating and maintaining the regulatory framework that private airport security would operate under.

The only real issue is passwords. But you don't have to enter them all the time.

My point is: having to get up and use a keyboard from time to time doesn't kill the experience of gaming in a computer and a big TV.

I want the Steam box because of the possibility of better games and a general MS distrust, not because the actual experience is something totally unmanageable, as some people here try to assume.
The EFF should stick to its core mission. This is an overreach and is a mistake.

Worse it's a waste of time, money and valuable attention. If you want political action and have the money and resources then why not form a single-issue political action group, get involved and do something?

This is just writing a check and getting your picture and name in the media, something by the way at which Mark Cuban, whose hypocrisy knows little bounds, excels.
Relatively compared to what? MD5 and SHA1 can be computed very very quickly and can easily be brute forced on GPU clusters.

Compared to PBKDF2, bcrypt, and scrypt, this system is incredibly insecure and susceptible to brute force attacks.

My opinion of this code is it's full of nonsensical voodoo and this guy has no business writing cryptographic code of any kind.
Logistics are a big problem for crowdfunding, especially first-timers, and Kickstarter isn't keen to step in. Pebble actually developed their own backer-facing website to deal with it.

It doesn't necessarily have to be appetizing. Any amount of confusion, hesitation, etc. it can cause is potentially beneficial. Even if only one in a thousand predators hesitates or attacks the wrong spot one in a thousand times when it sees a decoy, that's going to have an effect over millions of years.

I think newobj is referring to the non-atomic nature of dropbox sync: there is no "commit" or singular upload, but rather a continuous sequence of changes. The question then is: how does this affect deployment? For example you might see markup changes deployed without the corresponding css changes.

I would guess the answer is that the "deployment" is so lightweight and fast (minify a few text files and copy them somewhere) that it's ok to re-run the deployment step at every single new file change.

I'm a big fan of this workflow. Good job Cole!

Well, the OP is only presenting his point of view, maybe the cofounder will think differently and a honest conversation can help clear things out. And if not, the four other options remain.
#1 I feel this is just a scapegoat with allowing people to hope and wait 5 years for bullshit patents to expire; I don't know what a fair length of advantage time, temporarily monopoly should exist.

#2 If someone isn't infringing, then sure - troll should pay. But a lot of unknowns could invalidate a patent, perhaps just decidedly not detailed enough by a judge who ends up reviewing it, which I don't think makes sense to be a point of having the troll pay for it. If a patent is seen as invalid, then it can no longer be used to sue people.

#3 Agreed.

#4 It would be impossible for either party to prove, so then this just leaves costs open ended for the person who owns the patent.

#5 This is confusing. They seem to be trying to deal with a problem not directly associated with patents themselves? More they just want more information to make it easier if it'd be a good idea or not to infringe? You could always send an email and ask if what you're doing infringes - assuming you're not trying to patent something on top of existing patents further. Though I imagine that's not a tactic most people would be comfortable with.

#6 Define what a small fraction is, vs. how important something is in an application; It could be the most valuable piece in some overall 'bloated' scheme

#7 If you look at benefit to the economy, currently measured by GDP, any money being spent (on lawyers) is positive for GDP, and therefore for the economy..

In conclusion, I think these suggestions put forward by EFF are meant to deal with stopping the damage and strain trolls put on the system, though not fairly take into consideration real innovation, that actually is created, and used. Things like "swipe to the right to unlock" - I don't think that's complex enough to consider it patentable - but it is patented (I believe) - but never should have been. I am sure there are much more complex systems that people can come up with, that might take many years to develop or discover - but once known and concepts turned into something tangible, it would not take long to re-engineer, so there may not then be any incentive to attempting to develop said system; It could even take years of looking for someone to fund what you want to create that you have a patent on, especially if it's "so far out there" that people might have trouble understanding its value. Anyway - it'll be interesting to see where it all goes. I think all patents, software and not, should be thrown out. Other mechanisms would surface to allow innovation to move forward.

Obviously eating less will cause weight loss. The problem is actually being able to eat less and to keep doing that for life. Maybe that is not a problem for you ... so far, but it is a real problem for many people.

This article could shed more light on the obesity problem and solutions to it. For example, it could very well be that our intestinal flora influences our own decision making. There is at least one known case of a micro-organism that does: the toxoplasma gondii.

It is also apparent that people become addict to sugar and that definitely would influence decision making.

On top of that, our behavior is in great extent influenced, if not determined, by the chemistry of our bodies. It may very well be that chemical imbalances caused by a combination of diet, intestinal flora and hormones, causes obesity.

In short, saying that it is simply a problem of calories in and calories out is a gross over-simplification of the problem. Science is way beyond that point.
There are actually eight different factors which the courts use as a "test" for infringement. Of those eight, I would say a majority fail the infringement test for Facebbook. Mainly because "FB" is not part of its primary trademark. Thus, the "FB" presents a weak case for the "Strength of the plaintiff's mark." element.

Here are those 8 factors for argument sake:

There's other hints though. For instance, you might start the clean volume and find it hasn't been run for a month. Or, if the volume is being mounted inside another OS, there could be cached paths in various places pointing to the secret volume.

If you're being seriously investigated, you have to work on the cover story and make sure your clean volume looks legit.
Someone can be quite interested in the venture (and thus joined as a cofounder) but at the same time be pretty lazy, or busy on their other things. In this case, they are unlikely to "quit". They will show up in meetings and talk, but between meetings nothing much will be done.

Disclaimer, I'm the lead dev
This is something that has been messing with my workflow so hear me out. First, I use CodeKit on my local machine to compile. CodeKit allows me to choose a framework (bootstrap-master > LESS files). I don't want to keep multiple versions of bootstrap-master sitting around on my computer. Preferably, I'd have the most current version with which I'd use to build all of my CSS (regardless of the site I'm working on) by simply pointing to the bootstrap-master directory. However, the inclusion of variables.less in bootstrap-master > bootstrap.less (where it's an import) makes this difficult - variables.less is the ONLY file in bootstrap-master that I need to slightly tweak for each site I create. The variables.less file should not be a default import in bootstrap.less - at least this would be ideal for me. The way things are now, I have to modify bootstrap.less (to tell it not to import variables) and variables.less (to control colors, grid, etc). I'd like to just update all of the bootstrap-master files in one fell swoop without worrying about overwriting my changes to these two files. If variables was not a default import AND it was outside of this framework directory, I could update every file in bootstrap-master without worrying about overwriting anything. I hope I have communicated this in the right way - it seems a bit muddled?

Re: source, see: http://www.opm.gov/feddata/html/ExecBranch.asp

I think the headcount of the bureaucracy, relative to the size of the country being managed, is a very relevant metric of the efficiency of the system. I mean after all, in a private company it would be pretty impressive if the company nearly doubled in size without adding substantially to the number of managers.

The point isn't that the federal government isn't large, it's that it's a complete mispreception to assert that the TSA is a good microcosm of the federal government. The TSA is a traditional bloated bureaucracy, with tons of government employees doing not much of anything. That's not what most of the federal government looks like. I've worked in a federal agency and in the private sector, and if anything the federal agency was better run and more leanly staffed.

In reality, 95% of federal expenditures are just checks to other people. Checks to farmers to subsidize agriculture, checks to states to subsidize highway construction, Social Security checks, Medicare reimbursement checks, etc.

The fact is that people rant up and down about how bloated the federal government is, but nobody can ever point to non-trivial ways to reduce spending. And the reason is that it's not a matter of simply firing a bunch of bureaucrats that sit on their ass doing nothing--there just aren't very many of those people. Rather, it's all about not writing those checks. Writing a $20 billion check to subsidize suburban commuters instead of $40 billion, cutting grandma's social security check by 20%, etc. That's where all the money goes.

Yea this is an age old discussion, I also like the separation that dashes or underscores give. Personally I'm a fan of underscores myself, mostly because I can then have id="foo_bar" #foo_bar and $foo_bar, for html, css, and jQuery variables, respectively, and remembering that JS can't have dashes in variable names. This makes the double clickable aspect super handy to me :)

Sometimes I hear that people don't want to have to press shift, which is understandable considering how much we code. But if bootstrap devs are already pressing shift in order to use camelCase, I wonder why they didn't pick underscores.
I'm surprised to see them back a system where there are any software patents at all. I wonder if they really think they are desirable, or if this is simply political realism based on a judgement that abolishing all software patents is not achievable.

Five years seems like a very, very long time, it leaves all the short term benefits in place, e.g. muscling out the less-innovative competition. I guess this is by design.

The whole proposal sounds very moderate, really.
Yes. The worst you might see is a few seconds of mismatched styling, or an occasional error that would resolve when the next dropbox cycle pushes a refresh. The only deployment operations that involve inter-file dependencies at this time are the minification and concatenation that occur during optimization. And we don't recommend turning on optimization during development-- it does slow things down, and we haven't implemented source mapping yet so you'd have to debug obfuscated code.
I really love Dwolla a lot and think it's a great service. I do wish they would tone down all the social junk in the app, though. I don't want to share my purchases, I don't want to "check in" or track my location when I buy something, I just want to spend money on stuff. I feel like everywhere I go on their site is a clusterfuck of CONNECT YOUR ____ NETWORK!! Send money over twitter!! No, thanks.

While I hope that all this social spamming works out for them (the more people who use Dwolla, the more useful it becomes for everybody), I still find it somewhat obnoxious, and it decreases my level of trust in them. I just hope they tone it down once they reach a critical mass.

Either way, I'm rooting for them.
