Patent Office Rejects Apple's 'Pinch to Zoom' Patent
Faith in patent system restored?
I know, its your sentence construction. Consider this sentence: "I just want people to try real food, both eating and cooking."

When you say it like that, "real food," you imply that food made in a rice cooker is some how not "real". Which it clearly is for the dictionary definition of the word real, so it reads like you've got this whole value judgement thing going on about the definition of "real."

You're not showing acceptance, your trying to educate the people so that they can see the correctness of your world view.

If you accept non-foodie folks, those who eat to live rather than live to eat, then you phrase this thusly;

"Cooking food in a rice cooker is very convenient and as the article states it can keep you fed with nutritious food while minimizing cost and effort, However, when you choose to cook food this way you miss out on opportunities for an even richer food experience which do not require a lot more effort." -- followed by exposition on things your missing out on and how one can achieve them economically.

You see, acceptance in the first part, new information to share in the second. Same message, different connotation. Be nice.

Wow, I remember reading that back when it happened. Great story of some amazing engineering.
Wallet had just a bank card and a metro card. Also, it's not my money to spend even if there was cash there.

I ended up bringing it to the bank branch nearest where I found the wallet (Bank of America) who was also unhelpful. They told me that unless the wallet had been found in their branch they wouldn't contact the owner even though it had her name and photo on the bank card. Because of their unwillingness to help, I vowed to never become a customer of Bank of America.
This is not my first rodeo. Take the advice about keeping spending lean and building a cushion. Keep an eye on her stress, and what you're doing to push _her_ dreams forward. Remember nonverbal signals are frequently more important than verbal.

If any of those dimensions are in deficit for any sustained period of time, make adjustments up to and including a "real" job.

Do this. I know things.
I was hoping someone would come in and spend the time to explain this, the comments were getting pretty depressing!

Why is facebook the first thing you think of? I would go to a phone book, and failing that, just drive it over to the address on the driver's license.
Has anyone else paid but not gotten their license info email? It's been several hours and I still haven't gotten my license info.

Update: Thank you for the replies. Glad to know I didn't accidentally mistype my email twice. I agree, their license server might be hiccupping now that they got the order system fixed.

Update 2: Still haven't recieved an email. Just logged into my bank account (I used my debit card) and I don't see any holds or anything. I'm beginning to wonder if the transaction actually went through. In the order process there's the page that said if it takes longer than 30 seconds click the link below to continue. I had to click the link and the following page had an order or reference number (which I didn't bother to write down because I assume these things go through fine... I've never had a problem before).
Silver's point can be technically valid, but ultimately shallow and irrelevant. That seems to be what she's arguing.
>I'm saving up money for at least 6 months while I study very hard in my free time to get high marks on ACT/SAT and (hopefully) earn scholarships to attend a decent undergrad university

This tells me you're young. Depression didn't creep in on me due to a sedentary lifestyle at that age either. Our bodies age, and as you get older if you don't exercise or eat a healthy diet (for a very strict definition of healthy) you'll find lethargy creeping in. You'll have a harder time staying up, you'll find your body takes sleep when it craves it. When I was 18, I used to be able to stay up for 2 straight days and it wasn't a big deal. I'd spend a whole night coding, then go to work, no problem.

Those days are over, though. Now if I stay up all night coding, I have to crash for a couple hours before I start again.
For healthcare providers, what is the ROI of health apps?

I spell out some concrete advantages to hypermedia APIs elsewhere in these comments. http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4948652

But to specifically address DHH's arguments from the article:

* Enabling Discovery is a strawman argument; no one expects an API to use / as its only documentation (at least no one expects it of a good API).

* Standardizing API Clients is also a strawman; no one expects to have one generic client magically make sense of any API.

* Comparing HAL to WS-* in order to paint it as committee-driven standards bloat is not fair to HAL, which is an admirably tight and cogent specification.
Please do so, the more the merrier. I'll read it.

Interesting. I think I've read about Bill Gates suggesting this as the solution to email spam before. Charge everyone $1 per email and it will make most spam unsustainable. It seems like this would give people (who have a good reason) a way to contact you without your Facebook inbox getting filled with (more) spam.

It's literally a line item in the budget for unplanned expenditures. Sounds ridiculous, but you are planning for the unplanned. I'm just saying calling that "insurance" dilutes the meaning of what insurance actually is, which requires a transaction between two separate companies.
"I just want people to try real cars, like Lamborghini. Then if you want to go back to cheap Chevrolets, at least you'll know what the alternative was."

Impressed by this feature! I think this is a glimpse at how newspapers can become a lot more relevant/adapt to an online medium. Right now most news sites don't nearly take advantage of presenting a story online.
This seems really scary until you realize $1 is prohibitively expensive for most advertisers unless they are very confident there will be a return on their investment.
I am familiar with sous-vide, but it is very much not a rice cooker. That's like saying assembly is the same as Python.

A good poly-science costs what, $700? I did see a cool-looking immersion circulator on Kickstarter for I think under $200 a few months back, I should try to find it again.

And you still need to rip and char at the end for maillard reactions! But yeah, they're bad ass. Easiest way to poach an egg too.
Ah cool, thanks. Will do.

This is what Facebook eating LinkedIn's lunch looks like

EDIT: Let me explain...LinkedIn is about to make just shy of 1 billon in revenue in 2012. Their dominant revenue stream is recruiting products where orgs/recruiters pay ~10K a year per seat to search linkedin and send X number of InMails a month. As developers this product is the source of much of the job spam you get each week.. Facebook has all the same connections/work exp/education that LinkedIn has...just for more people.
The downside is that cooking in a rice cooker is a low fidelity way of cooking.

If you invest in a PID controller (Auber Instruments sells a particularly well-known line of them), you can make your rice cooker the highest-fidelity cooking appliance in your kitchen. The PID controller reads the temperature in the cooker with a thermocouple probe and strobes the power to the cooker to maintain a precise temperature, resulting in a temperature-controlled water bath.

Temperature-controlled water bath cooking ("low temp" cooking, or, inaccurately, "sous vide" cooking) is the future of the modern kitchen. Most proteins, most starches, and many vegetables benefit from it, it's almost as easy to execute as Ebert's rice cooker meals, and has the huge advantage of taking precise timing out of the equation; most low-temp preparations can be started in the morning and plated when you get back from work, like slow-cooker meals.

If you're remotely interested in cooking, low-temp cooking is about the nerdiest way you can go about it, and the results really are pretty spectacular: you can get perfect custard-texture egg yolks (not to mention reliably perfect custards of all sorts), an absolutely perfect end-to-end medium rare steak, reliably perfect pork chops, a week's worth of perfect chicken breasts for cold prep (sandwiches and salads) or last-minute pasta dishes, perfect glazed root vegetables --- I keep using the word "perfect" because when you have a small computer making sure your food never goes over or under its ideal target finish temperature by more than a degree or so, that's what you end up with.

I have a Polyscience circulator now, but I used to use a Black & Decker rice cooker and an Auber PID controller, and while there are benefits to the professional circulator (I'm pretty sure I can circulate a bathtub and cook a whole pig in it if I really wanted to), pretty much any DIY plan you find on the Internet will do just fine; you can even try what Serious Eats recommends and do your first couple of experiments with a beer cooler.

Also, regarding this particular meal: try chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Chicken breasts are particularly expensive (everyone wants them), but chicken thighs are more delicious, more forgiving of time/temperature variation, and in long-cooking applications like this, all the downsides (fattiness and toughness) are mitigated by the cook time.

If you're just now thinking about starting to cook instead of going out every night, and you don't want to go too nuts with it, I'd recommend a crock pot / slow cooker. They're not sexy, but wow are they ever useful. You can buy a Costco block of chicken thighs and chuck them in your freezer, and then each morning just open one package of them into your slow cooker with an onion and some garlic, salt, and pepper. Run on "slow" all day. Done. Same thing with any cheap chuck cut of beef, or with pork shoulder. Everyone I talk to that "discovers" the slow cooker falls in love with it.

There are two problems with this analysis. The first is that the Constitution is not a "contract" with which Americans "collectively bargained away" anything, because modern Americans were not alive at the alleged time of bargaining away things, and being alive is a prerequisite for making a contract. To believe in constitutionalism is essentially to not believe in governance by the consent of the governed.

The other problem is that even if it was a contract, we seem to ignore it, because we pass the laws described in the article. So it's not a very effective system.
well, why not simply:

Number.prototype.to = function(to){r=[]; for(var i=this+0; i<=to; i++){ r.push(i)} return r;}

The reason that 50 Shades of Grey is subjected to highbrow literary scrutiny, is that it pretends to be highbrow literature. Male pornography usually makes no pretense, being more along the lines of logjammin' "ich bin here to fix your kable"
How can he "invent" this? Hasn't it been known for years? It's the same principle as two mirrors at right angles, only instead of a corner, there is a gentle bend. I'm pretty sure I read about this in George Gamow's "One, Two, Three... Infinity".
In case anybody is confused about the "paper tape", transformer paper is likely what they're referring to ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_insulation_paper ).

Having played with some back in school, it's this gnarly paper that is super stiff, near invulnerable (to hand attempts at tearing and cutting), and really really good at giving paper cuts. It's also somewhat fire retardant, if I remember correctly.

So, it's not like the cable was wrapped in Christmas paper or something.

Short answer: Yes, it clears the keys upon dismount.

Longer answer: If you have a non-critical volume encrypted, set to dismount on hibernate, it clears the keys. Beware programs that still have files in in memory, though. If you have the system volume encrypted, then nobody can get the keys out of the hibernation file. Truecrypt is forced to leave the keys in memory here, but you just hibernated. The system is shut down. Give it a minute and the RAM will clear.

>Several commentators and researchers have noted that imposing a financial cost on the sender may be the most effective way to discourage unwanted messages

Sure, if you measure your performance on true positives. But what about false positives? What if I and the recipient will gain utility from me sending him a message, but I refuse to pay a dollar to ensure he will see it?

I think google proved algorithmic spam protection works well. It may not work perfectly (and IMO has gotten slightly worse over time), but it gets you pretty darn close without adding a tax. Automatic protection feels far more 'efficient' than the proposed one. I hope facebook's trial proves this.
The scientific consensus on salt seems to be changing. I think that current thinking is that salt is unlikely to be a major influence on health, all other factors being equal.

Very cool - any chance of getting a blog post about how you structured the lazy rendering part within Ember.JS? I have an application where I need to do something similar.
DRV is completely worthless; it is purely for procedural issues, not a second AfD where the merits might be debated by a different group. Undeletion is about as common as hen's teeth: stuff deleted stays deleted.
The suggestion to use a dollar from the wallet was tangential to the point. Now you can get into strangers' inboxes. Spending a dollar of your own money to do so is cheaper than the effort you've described.

Ah yes, I've looked at Datatables before. I think it doesn't allow plugging in arbitrary, lazy, client-side data sources though, can anybody confirm this? If so, that's a pretty big hole in its API and a showstopper for me.

At any rate, thanks for the heads up.

Here's another image for some intuition about what is going on:
http://blog.statwing.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/ecologic...

You wouldn't be able to say anything with confidence about individuals
without the individual data but this image helps me think about what
individual data would be needed to back up or refute an inference
based on group data.

If you can find data within some groups and they show very little to no
relationship for X and Y then it's a little more likely that you can
use the group inference. But in any case watch out!
Oracle Acquires Eloqua for $810M
The best answer may require asking a better question.
The reason the NRA has been so effective is because they understand the old truism "give them an inch and they'll take a mile."

It's funny how much perspective changes things. Many gun owners have left the NRA over the past few years, in favor of Gun Owners of America or other organizations, exactly because the NRA is seen as overly willing to compromise on gun rights. I personally am a card carrying member of the GOA, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership and the Second Amendment Foundation, but not the NRA for this very reason.

That said, they probably are more "hard line" than lobbying orgs for other groups, and I won't argue against the essence of your point.

- Endorphin hit content (news, images, Reddit)
- Ego boosts for users (flickr, Pinterest, tumblr)

That makes it about money, which my statement was very much not. It doesn't cost anymore to cook the right way than to do it in a rice cooker. Just takes effort.

Should I ask non-technical co-founder to leave startup?
I'm a couple months in to a startup with 2 other talented guys. I'm also the lead design,ui,ux, front-end developer (html/css/js). One other guy is the lead back end developer, and the third in question was assigned with the business dev./hustler role.

This non-tech guy, in a nutshell, is smart. He's as technically savvy as you can get without actually knowing how to code. Normally, I would never ask a non-tech person to join a startup team, but I honestly felt that he had some valuable skills to bring to the table. We're about 1.5 months into the project. A working demo is about 70% done, which me and the other developer have been working on. 2 of us are full-time on this. The non-tech guy, still carries his full time job.If his priorities were in-line with the startup, he can still get a lot done during work hours, as well as night and weekends. What I'm finding however, is that he's unable to make that commitment.

While me and the other developer have practically made an entire product in 1 month, he still has yet to deliver a business plan or pitch deck. He goes unresponsive for days at a time via email. Never logs on to Gtalk unless we have a scheduled hangout meeting. He never even talks business w/me. I've always been an aspiring startup entrepneur, so keep tabs on current news and resources that will help me become successful. He does not. I find myself constantly having to source resources for him to absorb. It never concerned me that he didn't know this stuff up front. My confidence in his ability assumed that he would do it on his own, but as I've observed.. this is not the case.

I know this guy is smart, I know he CAN do it, but he's currently not.I am planning to talk with him within the next couple days, but my question is, should I give him another chance after our discussion?Thanks for any feedback.
Fixed, not sure if I just suck at marking these correctly, they changed layouts (I've been collecting links for a while) or that I've lost the ability to read a class='span12' when I see it.

Thanks for the heads up.

Hook a $100-ish PID controller up to the rice cooker. (Personally I hook it up to a crockpot but, more or less, same difference--some say a big rice cooker is actually better for this than a crock pot.) You do of course, need, a vacuum sealer as well although you can experiment with ziplocks that you've squeezed the air out of.

I'm actually not really a sous vide religious convert. But I did put together a setup and, for certain types of food, it's actually really convenient.

> Americans are very overweight

Stereotypically, sure.

> and the reason is that they somehow do NOT view food as fuel.

Or they've been fed a lot of lies about how some foods are 'good' and some are 'bad' without regard for context, or the simple fact that caloric intake is vital in weight control.
A feature rich, reliable table view in SproutCore (from which Ember was forked) has been a highly requested feature for at least 4 years. I'm glad that someone has finally done so, but I am also disappointed that it was so difficult.

I think the reasoning is that if you aren't already connected and it isn't worth spending $1 to make sure the other person sees the message, then how much utility does it really have?

I suppose there could be a case where the utility to you is low, but the utility to the user is very high, but in this case they are probably seeking you out and you should invest in cost-per-click/conversion advertising instead of cost-per-impression.

Facebook's proposed model has a very high cost-per-impression, which is what weeds out much of the spam. You have to get a very high conversion rate before it becomes economical, which implies that the message was indeed relevant. In fact, being an inbox message probably increases the conversion rate over other communication methods (such as ads and spam)
