How to get Developers and Designers to go to your Hackathon
Calorie counts on menus is a good start, but it's not enough. It doesn't mean anything to the average American consumer that there are 1800 calories in that Starbuck's Mochaccino he just bought. Contextualize it with an Ad Council campaign to tell people that sedentary middle-aged people (for example) need to consume roughly 10 calories daily per pound of weight they want to maintain. You weigh 180? And you just bought that 1800-calorie candy coffee? Congratulations! you've achieved your maintenance goal for today. Any further calories you consume will be added to your waistline at 3500 calories per pound.

Then remind everyone that a sedentary lifestyle is a choice, and not a very wise one at that. Get your cardio on, and you'll burn through those excess pounds. Maybe even enable yourself to have something besides a Mochaccino each day. Get some resistance training going, and you'll need to ramp your daily intake up just to maintain all that lean muscle mass.

Of course, your mileage may vary; insult a doctor before beginning any weight-loss regimen; and if it hurts when you do that, don't do that.
> Walk faster. No, seriously. If you're taking a leisurely stroll, you're doing it wrong.

So...you're saying I should run?

> I traverse cities just about as fast as I possibly can without breaking into a jog. It definitely gets the heart rate up.

No offense, but if your heart rate starts rising that much without breaking into a jog, you're seriously out of shape.
Actually, I don't see that they do disagree.

"One of the most pleasant companies in the world to do business with" isn't really anything to do with the morality of their backend operations.
IMHO, calorie counting is not as important as carbs and fats counting on menus.

One of our greatest problems with dieting is that calories are not really equal and the effect food has on you really depends a lot on your particular metabolism. Maybe if you eat more than 2000 daily calories worth of stake and diary you get fat, but I can eat more than that without any effects whatsoever, while a single cookie ads 2 pounds on me (my body retains a lot of water after eating sugar).

And it's a problem because the common advice given to people doesn't work so well. Which is why dieting hasn't really caught on.

Personally I separate foods in dangerous (for me) and non-dangerous. I measure my weight every morning and I know precisely what types of food lead me to gain weight. For the non-dangerous kind I have no restrictions and eat as much as I please, as long as I don't combine it with the dangerous kind ... whenever I do that, I starve myself a little (for a day or so, eating some fruit and a yogurt), then it's back to normal.

Btw, I lost 44 pounds this year after cutting my sugar intake drastically + a dissociated diet that lasted for 4 months. Right now I'm happy that the diet is over and my weight has stabilized to the point that I eat whatever I like, except snacks (which I never liked anyway) and sugars. Of course I don't overeat, because I don't feel the need to do that anymore - somehow giving up on sugar has cut into my appetite.
Thanks for responding. The ingredients I use are expensive and I am not willing to compromise on the integrity of the chocolate. Hershey's is cheap, but look at the ingredients. Thank you, Dan. Yes, tempering machines and a commercial space is just to start. There's the ingredients and the packaging as well.
I only knew him from Stand By Me. He stopped being "that minor character from Star Trek" long ago. He's "internet famous" due to his blog and tech advocacy, with a boost from the occasional appearance on Big Bang Theory.
It can not be stress enough that the reactor must be a molten salt reactor. The molten salt provides the stability, safety, and efficiency gains that a normal light water reactor can NOT match.
You want to release an app or a game? Cocos2D would be your fastest route for an ios game with moving sprites and all that. You don't NECESSARILY need to have all that for a game. You'll lose a half day with provisioning and a half day with submission. Anyhow, there's any level of things in between. You could take an open source game like cloudjump and customize it, or create your own utility.
>In most states (perhaps all), it is illegal to use someone's likeness for advertising without their consent. This is regardless of their status as a celebrity or not.

It's not all states, and it's not entirely clear cut in many states (it depends on how the likeness is used), and their TOS does give permission to use your likeness (which means that if the person in the photo is also an Instagram user, they have a tougher case).

But Instagram would certainly be playing with fire if they tried that with a celebrity, and I don't think they would. It's your ordinary folks who can't afford to lawyer up against a huge corporation that are more likely to be affected by this.
Looks great! We've been having a rough time keeping our homegrown dashboard stable. My only suggestion so far is to build out the configuration/installation docs in the README.md, 'see dashboard.js' isn't very helpful.

What are you good at? Probably Lua or Javascript will be faster to get going if you are not experienced in Objective C.
See that gigantic logo at the top of the page that says "Survata"—it should be a link to your main web site.

In fact, such a link does not exist anywhere on your blog. You need to add one, or a few if possible.

Jesus. You'd think this was rocket surgery or something.
It feels so nice to get coverage in such a widely read media outlet. Thanks thwest for the post!
I agree, as I mentioned in an above comment, I feel like the ads will be something like FB's promoted posts that show highlighted ads of things your friends like.

To me, this sort of ad in the IG stream using photos my friends took at restaurants/venues, saying that 'my friend recently went to X place' seems like a pretty engaging ad that I'd like to see. I already look at my friends' photos, so having one show up again promoting a restaurant I might like to go to wouldn't a big deal to me.

But as you mentioned, I just don't know what the TOS actually allows for, so I'm only speculating.
Just go with Cocos2d. There is certainly not a dearth of Tic-Tac-Toe games in the app store however when I was first learning iOS development I built one of these for a client and it did not take much longer than the two weeks you describe. (Though I had a little help with the art and the Ad integration)

I'd recommend you collect the art and sounds you think you will need from iStock photo ahead of time and I'd push you to leave room for some ads in the app to give yourself an idea of what putting together a complete app that can generate some sandwich money takes. (Or figure out what you could sell via in app purchase) Make it universal if you can as well - anything to get it in more categories on the store. Also go look at existing games that do well to see what they are doing well and poorly. Writing the code is only part of publishing apps and Id say probably not the most important part.

Also, for fun google "Tick Tack Toe in lisp" I found these to be neat little programs to read though not especially relevant to the production of the game :)
I think the point is that it's very difficult to define exactly what a monopoly is. There's a lot of disagreement on that topic.
You listed twitter as a "proof" that you have alternatives, as an example that FB is no monopoly.

I agree that Twitter is quite successful and big. In spite of allowing pseudonyms?

White pages don't apply. No idea how these work over there, but here they are a service to find a phone number - and sell a couple ads. You don't communicate via White Pages. In fact, you'd only use those to find people _that you usually don't communicate with_. And then _move the conversation to a different medium (phone)_.

Facebook is not related. It's not a simple register. It is not the same thing.

It's like comparing the hand-selected early Yahoo! link collection with the current Google, including Search, GMail, GTalk, G+.
Alternatively, North Korea, Mozambique, Cubs, and France can also say that, but why does it matter?
Very good! Again banned!
another point for localization : I can sell an app at a higher price in France (tier 4) because of the euros rate. tier 4 in france is a little bit like tier 3 in the US (eg 3$ in the US and 3.5 euros in France - it was 3 euros before Apple updated their price). In Sweden, where there is less competition I can set the price to tier 5.
In the English market (which is 73% of my income), all the apps are $3 (except today).
No. It used to be that you didn't get ads on cable TV because you already paid for the channels. Then the ads came anyway. Just because you pay for an internet service doesn't mean you avoided the privacy concerns that plague free services. At best you just postponed them.
Thanks for the suggestion. I think (or hope) that the config in dashboards.js is reasonably easy to follow, and to use giraffe you'd have to edit it anyway. So the info is right there when you need it. However, I can see that this might not be that clear on first sight.
and actually for the Word Wizard app, I can't release a single app with all languages because it uses a text to speech engine and each voice is 90M ! In addition, due to the contract I have with the text to speech company, I can't release an app with several languages...
Two weeks is plenty of time for a novice iOS developer with a bit of programming experience to publish tic-tac-toe. I think struggling to learn the existing well used tools would be the best use of his two weeks. Try something outside the normal path on the next one once you get something out there.
I think the point you're making here is separate from the original article. It's always been a bit of a grey area that you can take a picture of someone and post it on InstaFlickaFacebookOGram without their consent.

However Will's point is that Instagram's new agreement may compromise a user's ability to manage their personal brand, because their photos are no longer their own. If I'm Will Wheaton and I post a photo of myself having a good time at Disney Land, I don't want Disney Land taking that photo and using it in their ads. Since it's a photo of myself the photo release issue isn't the problem, since I've forfeited that right to sue by agreeing to Instagram's new agreement.

Android botnet found on all major US carriers sends thousands of spam texts
In Rails, "models" represent data (like a User or an Order), how they are saved to the database, and how they behave. "Controllers" coordinate pulling the correct models out of the database when they need to be rendered to HTML or other request. The longstanding conventional wisdom regarding the two is "fat model, skinny controller"; i.e., if you have complicated logic about for example which User can view which Orders, don't put that logic where you generate the page, but move it into the User object.

The problem is that eventually you get very fat models. You can easily imagine how much behavior something as common as a User might have, and you get massive classes that act like junk drawers for can_view_order? and can_order_new_item? and has_archived_orders? etc. DHH here is presenting a possible solution to that problem. There are links elsewhere here to other solutions.
For even a more ancient story, I recommend summerian Gilgamesh. the first literature text arguably. it especially relates to the startup founders.
What can I do to make it better?
It all depends on the project. For example, I backed Double Fine Adventure, which is on the bottom section in the lateness diagram. The thing is that it got overfunded by a factor of 8. The original plan was for a $400,000 game, and you can't spend much time on such a game if it is to be feasible. But the funding exceeded $3 million, so of course the game is going to take longer to design, because it's going to be bigger.
Been getting that feedback from others. If we did a followup article what specifics would be most interesting to know?
Really appreciate the vote of confidence. Incredibly humbling, and I thank you!
Calories are the only determinant as to whether you gain or lose weight. It's thermodynamics. 3500 calories deficit or surplus is approximately equal to 1 lb of body weight lost or gained.

Your body burns X calories per day to feed itself. If you eat less than this number, you will lose weight. Period. If you eat more than this number, you will gain weight. Period. Your TDEE or Total Daily Energy Expenditure can be easily estimated if your are so inclined, but it isn't necessary. Want to lose weight? Start at 2,000 calories per day. Monitor your weight across 4 weeks. If you aren't losing at a rate you're happy with, drop it to 1,800 calories per day. Repeat.

If you want to lose 5 lbs, you need a net deficit over time of 3500 * 5 = 17,500 calories.

Good/bad foods play a different role in your overall health, for example by impacting your level of water retention or satiety.
This is why I'm very, very skeptical about hardware Kickstarters by people who have never shipped hardware. Manufacturing is a hugely complicated endeavor that outsiders like to trivialize ("I bet it cost $1 in China!"), and ambitious entrepreneurs like to underestimate.

It's the same reason I didn't fund Ouya - I didn't see anyone on the team who has actually successfully shipped a hardware product. It's the same reason I did fund Pebble, because they have, albeit on a much smaller scale.

This shit is hard, and people need to realize this.
Sorry but where are the chubby models? Maybe I misread, but it seems like this is an argument over many small models vs. using aspects.

A chubby model would be one that implemented its own versions of multiple cross-cutting concerns, no?

Great title though, very creative. And also a very good idea in practice.
... participation in FB is voluntary.

Facebook is used as the exclusive sign-on system for various services besides Facebook itself. For instance, Spotify uses it, and last I checked it is not possible to use Spotify at all without using Facebook.

If Facebook continues to grow, the consequences of not using Facebook could be more severe than at present. It's a classic example of network effects.

Once something becomes a necessity, such as telephone or internet, I think you have a strong case to say that even though using it is technically voluntary, the price of not using it is so high that most people have no choice.

Is Facebook at that level of necessity today? Not for me, but maybe it is for some people.
I think that's less the issue here than CBS likely holding the commercial rights to Kaley Cuoco and Melissa Rauch being used together in anything that would look like an ad.

Presumably it will be in violation of Instagram's TOS to post the kind of pic that he talks about. (See Rights 4.(ii) )

But as he alludes to, it should make it interesting when someone does.
No it doesn't. There'll be one guy left with one eye. How's the last blind guy going to take out the eye of the last guy left whose still got one eye left? All that guy has to do is run away and hide behind a bush. Ghandi was wrong. It's just that nobody's got the balls to come out and say it.

Thanks for sharing, PierreA. I started on iOS at around the same time as you, and became profitable this year (not quite as successful as you, but still doing well). It sure looks like it does take that long (2+ yrs) for an indie developer to gain enough experience to do well!

I also backed the Hexbright. You're remembering that you'd have it by last Christmas because that was the original shipping date. I think the FAQ was changed once the delays were announced. I agree, it looks like we'll be getting a great light, but it took entirely too long, imo. The creator had a video with a functional light during the backing phase, so I assumed it was nearly complete, but sadly it wasn't the actual light we were backing in the video and development took a year longer than expected. The creator has been perfectly upstanding and handled things quite reasonably, it just took far longer than expected to design and manufacture the thing, sadly.
Exactly. Few people understand what their calorie budget is and have no way to relate their intact decisions to that budget. Losing weight is simple: eat less than what your body needs to maintain itself. In doing so your body will pull from the energy reserves that it has (fat and muscle) to make up the difference.
The company that makes these scanners will just take some senators on a few more all-expenses-paid trips to Hawaii for some "conferences" and things won't change at all.

I already have a pseudonym on facebook :P I had no idea you couldnt do that.
Does the part when Enkidu and Gilgamesh head out to kill Humbaba relate to fundraising or starting a company with two founders? :)
> personally I prefer "real names encouraged, but not required" policy

That's what the German government is saying. They're not outlawing the use of real names.
Okay, I can imagine that would lead to fat models. So, why is that a problem? Slow? Glitchy? Something else?

Thanks!

> Why is my legal name important? It isn't. I don't even consider it my primary name. The concept of one single "real" name is severely retarded and flies in the face of reality. We need to get rid of this...

No, sorry. No.

Your legal name is important. If you ever get incarcerated, your legal name will be on the docket. If you have a license or passport, your legal name will be on it. Your taxes have your legal name, as well as any other government certificates you may ever have.
Sounds like you're up to something similar to an idea that I've been batting around for a while. Best of luck!
That's a ridiculous twist of words. That's not self-insured, it's just planning for loss, which is exactly what it's called (Unplanned expenditures).
When I was younger, I used to hear this "thinking for yourself" phrase from a number of friends who genuinely believed they were on the path to personal freedom because they "thought for themselves"... It sounds like a sign of true independence for the man who "thinks for himself", but what does that really mean?

As I grew in maturity I realized the foolishness of that statement, because nobody truly "thinks for themselves". Sure, we're using our own brain to enact a decision unique to ourselves, but the vast complexities of how we are influenced by others and our own past - through parents, family, friends, actions (or inaction), stories, the books we've read, the movies/TV we watch, the music lyrics we listen to (I could go on) - really means that our decision-making is heavily skewed by the influences we have consciously, or otherwise, allowed to shape our minds. It really makes you wonder how much we can truly "think for ourselves"

Once I realized the notion that "thinking for myself" is really just a fantasy, I started to understand the importance of the old phrase "GIGO" and how important it is to choose (as best as possible) who will influence my thought processes. With that said, I think it's more than wise to look to masters in every arena of life for wisdom and influence to help us to "think for ourselves" when the time for choice arrives.

This is incorrect. The suggested approach makes the game significantly more accurate adding 3 multiplications and an addition. This does not make the game noticeably slower. If you're concerned about 3 multiplications and an addition you're going to need to show me some profiler data that shows this as a specific bottle-neck in the game-logic.
Calories do matter. It just so happens that when we make bad choices of food we take in much larger amounts of calories. Sure you can say certain macronutrients are better for building muscle/losing fat but in the end a caloric deficit will cause you to lose weight. I'm eating much more volume of food right now but still losing weight. It's hard to pack on calories eating just chicken, brown rice, and veggies. I could get 1 big mac and take in more calories than my entire day of chicken/rice.
A stolen weapon used to commit a crime does not constitute a crime on the part of the original owner. In my state there is no legally required way to store a firearm. Shooting someone accidentally certainly leaves the person operating the firearm open to civil litigation, and possibly criminal prosecution. I don't think anyone has every implied otherwise. All the regulations that have been mentioned refer to purchasing a firearm. If you want to require rifles be locked up at night, make the argument that it will help prevent theft. Don't make the argument that someone can't purchase it in the first place.

I'm not a "2nd Amendment absolutist" as you put it, no more than I am a free speech or free press absolutist. I have no problem with licensure or registration so long as it's not prohibitive, and you will be hard pressed to find gun owners who say there are no responsibilities associated with gun ownership. To get a license to carry a concealed firearm in my state requires $20 and a few weeks while they do a cursory background check, depending on the county. To get a handgun or rifle takes half an hour for a phone call background check.

If politicians like Sen. Feinstein would stop talking about banning weapons wholesale that had nothing to do with any recent tragedy, and instead talk about a national level of firearms reciprocity (while requiring locations like NYC, Chicago and DC to come up to par), you'd see folks on the Right move quickly and decisively to supporting more common sense gun regulations.
I wish there were some way other than the impolite downvote to register just how miserable believing this broken logic made me for a decade.
