Yes, the charge for shipping is a flat rate of $3 to anywhere in the world. I also agree 50 cents is a bit high, I would like to get it down at some point. I am using a fulfillment provider and currently at the mercy of their costs (this is very convenient though). It sounds like since you print your own and have a large volume you can get the cost much lower. I think printing my own in the future may be an option and would lower my cost a lot.

Actually, the Freedom of the Press part of the first is the only thing that has been sacrosanct in the Bill of Rights.

Really, we've abandoned the 9th and 10th almost completely. The 4th has been under assault for ages. The 2nd is being paired back even more with the New Town tragedy.

One day, when most of the amendments have no real weight in our society, then the Freedom of the Press will be extinguished as well.

Americans have let the Federal Government divide us and work themselves into the cracks between us. Lately, the divide has been between the "rich" and the "poor"... voters really lapped that one up.

It can't have been that self-evident that all men were equal when they wrote the Constitution. Indians didn't count and slaves only counted for 3/5 of a person.

"according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."

That specifically states that not all men are equal.
Once you get past the initial purchase, upgrades cost 59, which is right in the sweet spot you mentioned. I'm guessing this is not an accident.

There are definitely a good number of people that might not consider the full price worth it, but that's why JetBrains has occasional sales around holidays, back to school, etc.
"bare minimum required to get going with HTML5."

Includes GA code? I get the point of the project and I might even use it but I'm not sure GA fits in with the theme of the bare minimum required to create HTML5 docs.
Oh the irony. Printing out records makes me laugh.
This isn't really a framework though. It's more like a boiler plate or template that just gives you a good place to start. Maybe you are boilerplated out...
Bias alert: I'm the newest Rails committer and one of the bigger proponents of Hypermedia APIs in the Ruby world.

Anyway, many, many other companies _do_ find hypermedia principles to be useful. See Balanced Payments, for example:

> Fun fact: our internal statistics show that client libraries that construct the uri receive roughly 2 orders of magnitude more 404 status codes from Balanced than clients which use the uri directly.
>
> http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1999/03/the-mark...

GitHub is starting to add hypermedia stuff to their responses:

http://developer.github.com/

Here's their main API guy talking about the advantages even this partial implementation has achieved: https://twitter.com/pengwynn/status/281849041707474944 https://twitter.com/pengwynn/status/281849329243787265

Twilio has always had elements of hypermedia in their API, and are considering moving further in that direction in the future. They had me speak at their conference for the last two years in a row about the topic specifically.

That said, if not doing hypermedia doesn't hurt you, don't change what you're doing! If you're interested in evolving your API over time while supporting old clients and behaviors in a simpler way, then consider checking it out. REST/hypermedia APIs are focused on long-term stability, evolvability, and massive scalability. If you don't need those things, you don't need hypermedia.

That said, I'd be happy to answer any questions on the topic, though I'm really busy today, so it might take a while to get back to you.
"They can make it more profitable but only helps a smaller subset of people because is better to sell 1000 $10 needless than 10000 $1 needles (transportation, packaging, liability, etc);"

You implicitly make the error that the same person faces the choice of selling a few expensive needles or lots of cheap ones. In a free market, if one person tries the former, someone else can do the latter.

The medical market is not very free, unfortunately, and the proposed solutions to the resulting problems are always to make it even less free. The results are so boringly predictable it hardly seems sporting to talk about them. Shortages, inefficiencies, you name the usual consequence of centralized planning and meddling and our medical systems are full of them, but ever and always the solution is to increase centralization. Pity we must once again grind ourselves to dust on the alter of government control en masse again.

The data I see does not match your assertion. For all people bitch about the US, and for all our neutering of the free market advantages we are desperately trying to jam into our system to keep up with the Euro-Joneses, it still has better outcomes than Europe in many key areas. I'm sure that will change soon enough, though.

>External auditors, other board members, chapter boards, the IRS... there's plenty of oversight if Jimmy were to do something stupid expenses-wise from now on.

All of that existed when he was doing this in the first place. I didn't say he was still abusing expenses, I am asking if there is any evidence to support his claim that he no longer has any expenses paid for at all. I can not find any auditors or board members supporting that claim.
Edit: I've made my first ever pull request on Github. I hope I'm doing it right:

https://github.com/iandevlin/html5bones/pull/2

---------

Looking at all the stuff that index.html includes I think the name is misleading. Google Analytics? I know HTML5 Boilerplate has it, but HTML5 BP is maintained by Google people.

Actually, HTML5 BP has an index page that's smaller than HTML5 Bones: https://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate/blob/master/index....

I think that the index page HTML5 Bones has is rather bloated in comparison: https://github.com/iandevlin/html5bones/blob/master/index.ht...

And it seems like a bad template to start from, since I'd be erasing most of it, like the <aside role="complementary"> and abbr tags. In fact, most of that page is just explaining the page, which really doesn't belong in a template.

The project does, however, showcase how to properly use a lot of the new HTML5 tags, and I think that's commendable in its own right. I just don't think it makes the template as useful as it might otherwise be, especially if its purporting to be (bare) bones.

I'm probably just being way too harsh though.

---------

For the record, since I might as well be the first to pedantry, this is the smallest validating HTML5 page:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>

And this is what I expected the project to look like, given the name:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
<title></title>
</head>
<body>

</body>

Very good story that is well written. Interesting path that Kitna decided on when he could have gone one thousand other ways that were far easier. I am certain I would not have made the same type of choice. Once again, great article.
Thank you! Yes, just a small pet project.

I can't watch my favorite team (Cavs) most nights because I am not in the area. So when I wake up in the morning I want to see who won the night before. Usually I'll go to ESPN to get their wrap-up, but I would much prefer getting a lot of recaps, video and stories, all in one place.

Hopefully others will find it useful and I designed it to be fairly easy to fork for your own team.
Leave aside what you learned in high school about the Constitution, and look at the document and the actual history. At the time of the founding, and for more than 100 years after the founding, the Bill of Rights didn't even prevent North Carolina from detaining an American Citizen without trial. And you're seriously telling me that the founders would have contemplated applying Constitutional protections to Afghans in Afghanistan?

And so now the idea is to maximize the attention you get by writing about how you got attention?
That's true, but without notation at one level, it's hard to get the notions at the next level. Familiarity, comfort even, with the notation for the things you understand and the things others have done releases your mind to have the notions at the next level.

After that, you develop the notation for these new ideas, and the cycle repeats.

And in addition, very few are as good as Gauss. It's possible, even plausible, that he didn't need the notations at all. I, for one, certainly do.
So you could write an app against the API of some service, then a competitor of that service comes and implements the same API, and so you want to switch.

What should you do? Replace every URL? What if you want to support both (say, Twitter and Identi.ca)? Should you implement a map from codename ⇒ url?

Now what if you want to support every possible implementation, even if you - the developer - don't know about them? Why shouldn't the user be able to plug-in the entry URL and use your app?

People snickering about hypermedia APIs seem to me like people ridiculing the idea of having standard ports and protocols for devices, because they can't imagine a world where you don't have to install yet another crappy 200MB driver that is only available for Windows 95 to use a damned mouse.
Speaking of Google, their Doodle today celebrates the Grimm Fairy Tales. Not sure if they did that on purpose, but it sure ties in to the whole "doomsday" theme going on.
Hah, although this makes me think that I could at least try to put in the odds...
It's not just people that didn't want to buy at full price. It's also people that would have purchased at full price eventually being compelled to act today by the huge discount.

For example I bought AppCode and PyCharm today instead of waiting until Q1 of next year like I originally planned.
Wow. Very surprising (in a bad way).

Basic Web architecture: 1. expose resources, 2. resources have names (URL), 3. allow basic actions on these (GET, DELETE , PUT, POST ) as needed. 4. Include URLs (as links/forms) in representations.

OK, now build your API . Please do NOT start w/the API and work back to basic web architecture. Servers should always provide URLs (url templates are fine), NOT the client (by way of snowflakey construction algorithm).
Prisoners in the US serving lifetime without parole: 41000,

Well, the overlay needs to download something as well. So my point remains, I think.
The "rules" are decided by the status qou, those who are already have power and intend to maintain it. The purpose of the law is to enforce the interests of the dominant political power. Judging the banks by the laws they lobbied to enact is farcical. The flawed rules are a part of the root cause, we allow those who have the most power to decide the law of the land, and we absolutely should judge them on a moral and ethical basis as opposed to the legal basis they control.
Not guaranteed (but still pretty likely). On linux at least, you can easily hibernate to an encrypted partition, requiring a password to wake up.
Finally something sensical.

If you want to get an idea of what protections the founders thought should apply to non-Americans outside U.S. soil, you need look no further than see how they handled the American Indians. Hint: they didn't bring Indian chiefs to Philadelphia for trials in American courts.
Either the author is not explicit enough in the article, or he makes a critical, wrongful assumption. Either way it's dangerously misleading.

Sadly, I'd lean towards the second one because of text like this:

> A major difference between software written for CPUs and VHDL is: VHDL is concurrent by default.

VHDL is a description language, not a programming language.

When writing VHDL you are not, at any point, writing software, you are laying out a map of the hardware. This map describes physicalities, and (barring relativistic considerations) physics happens everywhere at once. It is not parallel computing, it is physics.
Can the donations be tied to a user account? What prevents checking 'user donated within 6 months'? (Assuming people can and do provide the information and remain logged in)
I get the point the article is making, but I think the article is wrong. Just because web nerds don't understand why a good is priced the way it is doesn't make that pricing irrational. You can't even license H+FJ fonts for web applications; they're not even "priced out" - you have to be one of the "cool kids" to use them. H+FJ seems to be doing just fine.

When you compare something to the Alien and Sedition Acts, you should remember that the Alien and Sedition Acts almost led to the destruction of the Union entirely and laid the philosophical foundation for the Civil War.

The framers put in the Supremacy Clause in order to effectively limit the sovereignty of the States. Madison and others wanted to go a step farther and add in the negative, but they lost that argument by the vote of one state, the deciding argument being that the Supremacy Clause would allow the Federal government sufficient power to control any State law so egregious as to need federal attention.

They were actually worried about things like that because the Massachusetts State Constitution had failed so completely. As Madison wrote in a 1787 letter to Jefferson, "The mutability of the laws of the States is found to be a serious evil. The injustice of them has been so frequent and so flagrant as to alarm the most stedfast friends of Republicanism"

Re: freedom, I don't think we're particularly less free than we once were, save on the frontiers and most of that is perception, not fact. However, setting precedent for the accepted encroachment of rights, or even the perception thereof, is very dangerous to do on a Federal scale.

Somebody posted it. http://www.quora.com/Wikipedia/Is-Wikipedia-collecting-more-...

His response:

That article is typical of The Register - typical nonsense. The number of falsehoods in it is substantial, so in the interests of time, I will cover just a few of the highlights.

1. "The vast potential for advertising attracted venture capital firm Elevation Partners (whose investors include Bono from U2) to court Wikipedia" - at no point in our conversations with Elevation was there ever a suggestion that Wikipedia should take advertising. Indeed, Roger McNamee was quite adamant that Wikipedia should not do that.

2. "Bono also urged Wales to drop the volunteers and hire professionals instead." This is absolutely and utterly false. Bono has never suggested any such thing nor anything even remotely resembling it. He's always been in awe of the community and how it all works.

The Wikimedia Foundation (and associated chapters) are incredibly transparent about our spending, hiring policies and practices, etc. The idea that the Foundation should restrict itself to the tiniest possible budget just to keep the site running is frankly idiotic.

And the idea that the Foundation has steadily increased our reserve position is bad is also idiotic. There can be such a thing as having too large a reserve, but we aren't close to that level yet. One think we know our donors are interested in (because of their response to banner messaging) is that we keep Wikipedia safe - and that means, in part, being fiscally responsible and building up a cushion for the future.
no, they are only accessible in ring 0, so only the kernel has access to them.

Wasn't this recently posted a day or two ago? I recall seeing this
I see the mods have just changed the title to one that is not the title on the article, but which does more accurately reflect the contents. For that I applaud them.

The interesting thing is that over the past few months I've been trained by the mods not to put a more accurate title, but always to go with the literal title as embedded in the article. Whenever I've tried to be helpful it's simply got changed back to the less informative version, so I've stopped bothering.

Does this indicate a change of policy? Should I now go back to providing accurate, informative titles?
Remember, the Constitutional Convention was a convention to rework the Articles of Confederation. The federal government under tha Articles of Confederation was also one of enumerated powers. That facet was part of the Constitutional scheme long before the 10th amendment.
Where would you get the course material to distribute to the students?
You have correctly identified that editing, distribution, publicity are problems for self published authors mostly because they don't have the money or will to pay for these services. All of these currently are fixed/upfront costs invested into a book before you know the level of sucess it will have. If your company pays for these work they have to get paid back, which is going to have to come out of the sales stream from the book which creates a selection bias problem.

If you can crack the problems around the cost for providing services or how to pre-sift through books for a population more likely than average to have above average sales that would give you a way to engage in what you've described.

There are lots of Books about running a publishing company but no websites. I'm working on a publishing focused startup and have been in the industry for the previous five years.

You can simulate one of these yourself by getting a wide flexible plastic mirror (dimensions along the lines of 1:4) and bending it to be concave until you look undistorted. Looking into this bent mirror, if you raise your right hand, the hand on your left side in the reflection will move.
The Web Goes Silent for Sandy Hook
Entanglement alone can't be used to transmit information. If this is the first time long-range entanglement has been possible then the communications advances they're talking about would include anything that requires parties to share entanglement over a distance. So quantum encryption, key exchange, superdense coding (is that even likely to be useful?) etc. Someone who knows what they're talking about want to weigh in here?
This is probably a small array of double mirror. If you look at the images you see slight loss of light (a bit darker) on his none-reversing mirror. Which is probably due to the gaps between the arrays behaving a bit like a scrim in shooting sets.

I think the invention will have some uses. For anyone who has tried to do anything that requires precision in front a mirror the reversing of the mirror is disorienting. I could even imagine mechanics who use a mirror to see what they are doing in tight spots be able to use it to coordinate their motion to put the ranch on the right nut when they are using a mirror.

There are more secure tools than the ones mentioned available, and have been for a while.

For example, Bestcrypt from Jetico (http://www.jetico.com/encryption-bestcrypt-volume-encryption...) supports two-factor authentication with removable disks (including USB sticks) or hardware tokens or over the network. That is, the encryption keys are simply not available on a computer that may be stolen, for example.

In addition, all kinds of memory dumps, including hibernation and even crash dumps are fully encrypted.

I imagine in time, at the minimum the PGP and Truecrypt products will eventually catch up with similar features.
That would only be a valid metaphor if Facebook would be the only website in the world.
Completely disagree with the OP's idea of putting this in a rear-view mirror. One benefit of a rear-view mirror is that things that are on the right side of the mirror are to the right of you, and vice versa. This mirror would break that, unless I'm misunderstanding it.

I'm interested in what applications this may have, if any really. I can see it working as a vanity mirror quite well, as then you can truly see yourself as other do. Aside from that?
