Hello, owner here, somewhat, but we plan to expand it further than just markdown and textile in the future. We just launched so if you have feedback let us know. It's good to know that people are confused by what the point of this is so we can better align our vision and work out the kinks.

Thank you for taking a look and your comment.

Interesting but my Google Mail filter is becoming really good at parsing out spam. Even "technically I opted in but still spam".
It is actually not very difficult to make stock, except you have to wait some hours for it to cook, so I guess lack of time to cook is the driving force behind soup stores. However, if you don't have the time to cook stock it is likely that you also lack the time to cook the rest of the meal to a quality that matches the expensive stock...

The bottled stock you can get in regular supermarkets is also better than the cubes. I can recommend it.
According to both Amazon and Google, it matters immensely. I can't find the link right now, but Amazon said they found a noticeable step-up of conversion loss in their sales funnel for each 200 milliseconds of 'slow' they added.

Meaning, faster is better.

Charities hate this. Ringfencing costs them a ton of money to track, exposes them to legal liabilities, does little good, is often entirely meaningless given the fungibility of money, and reduces flexibility. The way I put it would be this: if you don't trust them to spend your money well, why do you trust them to spend a restricted donation? Shouldn't you find a charity you do trust? There's so many out there, after all.
I think it would actually be really interesting to see which sites solicited the most visits and which were judged solely by the image presented. Perhaps that would show some gradations between "obviously bootstrap" and "obviously not bootstrap."
I don't know of a paper, but on the Tcl wiki there is some discussion of the "non-recursive evaluation" (NRE) engine that enables these features [1]. More formal descriptions of the new coroutine [2] and tailcall [3] commands are listed, among others, here [4].

The Constitution doesn't mention geography, that's true. That could either be because the framers intended it to apply to everyone everywhere, or because they thought it was obvious it would only apply to Americans in America.

Luckily, the Constitution is not a disembodied bit of text. We have copious context to use to evaluate the significance of the lack of geographical distinctions in the Constitution. The English legal tradition, which the Constitution is a product of, is highly territorial. English law applied to Englishmen in England. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that American law, including the Constitution, was intended to apply to Americans in America.

Scalia's dissent in Boumediene has a good discussion of the application of Constitutional rights to non-citizens: http://www.law.cornell.edu/supct/html/06-1195.ZD1.html. I'd skip to Section II to get past the political rant.
Eh, it's starting to sound like sour grapes again. There isn't an objective standard for value you can discover if your analysis is just a little better.

"why would I pay for news when I can get it for free"

Why do people buy Time magazine or National Geographic? There is a big difference between "news" and better/well researched background articles. There are whole brick-and-mortar stores dedicated to selling magazines like this. It doesn't take a lot of imagination to transfer this to the web, or has it has become quite popular lately, a tablet of some sort.
This seems like the classic compile-time run-time trade off. On the one hand it does indeed appear to take a while to load the page. The upside of this though is obviously smooth scrolling for very large presentations of data. Since the sort of use-case this kind of table would be used for could potentially be long and drawn out this trade off becomes totally reasonable in my opinnion.
The marginal cost of sending bulk spam is the opportunity cost of the botnet.

$1 a message is a one followed by the zeros you get from your cat playing with the zero key times more expensive than bulk spam.
Phone books aren't really useful in NYC. Personally, I haven't had a land-line or a phone book in about a decade, and it wouldn't surprise me if that's common for others that live in the area. Also, there was no drivers license. Just a bank card (with a name and photo that I could match against Facebook) and a metrocard.

In line with woah (minus the snark), male-focused porn is generally spared the scrutiny because it does not seek it. You won't read a review of Modern Whorefare (sadly a real thing) in the New York Times and you won't be able to pick it up at the grocery store. A difference in marketing and distribution amply explains the greater scrutiny, without resorting to implications of sexism.

It's a very interesting point, and i guess the issue is if you have to start laying fundraisers off, you have no fund raiser to raise funds. Kind of a vicious circle situation!
The messages I get from non-friends are usually from old friends asking if I'm the correct rm999 (well, my real name). I think these messages do have a lot of utility, but I would never pay to send them. They also provide value to facebook by increasing the size of their social network. Uptown also brought up the semi-contrived (but still excellent) example of a found wallet, which is another case where the value to the sender is low but the global utility is high.

Anyway, I get virtually zero e-mail spam and my e-mail address has been public for eight years. I don't see why facebook wants to shake things up. I consider spam a mostly solved problem.
Thoughts on a Movie
It took me a long time to figure this out as a child, since nobody I asked knew the answer! Is it something about the vertical of the mirror being different than the horizontal? No, if you rotate the mirror 90 degrees it still inverts left/right and not top/bottom. Is it something about the Earth that makes horizontal different from vertical? No, if you look into a mirror while your body is in horizontal position, it still inverts left/right, and not top/bottom (viewed from your body). Is it something about our two eyes being on a horizontal line instead of a vertical line? No, if you close one eye it still works all the same. If you trace out how the light goes, you'll see that there is nothing different about horizontal vs vertical. Yet clearly a mirror inverts things horizontally but not vertically. How can this be?

The real answer is that we perceive this because we are used to turning in the horizontal plane. If you see yourself in the mirror and you raise your right hand, the guy in the mirror is raising his left hand. But how do you know that it is his left hand? Mentally you place yourself in his position by rotating yourself and then you check which hand it is, but by doing this rotation your left hand ends up in the position of your right hand in the mirror. So even though the alignment of you and your mirror image appears to be perfect on first sight, it actually isn't. If we were creatures that are used to only turning in the vertical plane, then we'd perceive the same image as top/bottom inversion. You'd mentally rotate yourself vertically, and then instead of your left hand ending up where you see your right hand and vice versa, your head would end up where you see your feet and vice versa.

The fact that our bodies are roughly symmetrical in one direction but not in the other makes this a bit non obvious unfortunately. It may be easier to understand this with an object that's not symmetrical in any direction. If you have a piece of paper with some word written on it, and you look at it via a mirror, why is the word flipped from left to right and not from top to bottom? This question has the same answer: because we're used to turning things in the horizontal plane. To show the paper to yourself via the mirror, you rotated the paper so that the text is now facing away from you, towards the mirror. But how did you rotate it? You rotated it by turning it in the horizontal plane. If you had rotated it in the vertical plane, the word would be flipped vertically. It's just that if you do this nobody is surprised that the word ends up flipped vertically, because that's not how our psychology works.
notions of geographical distinction wholly absent from the Constitution.

You're kidding, right? The Constitution says, right at the start, that it is for the United States of America.
If there were buttons visible, I could usually determine if it was a bootstrap site or not. Next, I would look for a top navigation banner and try to decide from that. If I wasn't convinced by those two, then always picking not-bootstrap worked out well.

JetBrains products are far from expensive for this class of software (or for any other software out there).

Considering the awesome support, level of polish and massive value provided by the JetBrains team, their products are actually pretty cheap.

I guess that a lot of people are just exercising their options regardless of actual need for the product.

For me PyCharm has paid itself many times over. Keep up the good work JetBrains!
That Lua is an "embedded" language is a strength, not a weakness: it's small enough and interoperable enough to be used in ways that most language implementations can't. The fact that it can do this while at the same time being quite a bit more powerful (and efficient) than Javascript is a marvel of design. It has yet to be fully appreciated. We're going to see a lot more Lua on the server.
Both are equally daunting and ultimately expensive.

The rice cooker meals are a gateway to more serious cooking. If we're honest with ourselves, the alternative for most nerds isn't "better cooking"; it's In N Out Burger.

Always happy to see you commenting here, but a suggestion in this case would be to come up with the list of next steps forward for people embarking on cooking rice-cooker style. I already gave one (switch to a better protein than chicken breasts), but there's got to be many more.

Switzerland has guns all over and doesn't have much of a problem, with a gun crime rate that's similar to many countries with tough restrictions. Norway has much tougher regulations than America's and still had Anders Breivik.

I don't think the solution is so clear cut or so simple.

It also doesn't help that articles like the one linked completely ignore the inexorable march of technology - regardless of laws about guns, such laws will soon be as meaningless as copyright law. 3-D printers have arrived and will only improve.

I find most of the huge outpouring of punditry and emotional wailing going on right now to be surreal and out of touch with reality. Nobody likes a mass shooting, and even less the mass shooting of young children, and they are horrible, but they pieces of the puzzle don't add up as clearly as everyone seems to think.

Many of America's laws are reflections of misguided emotional states, whether it's laws about drugs, the mortgage interest deduction, or the fact that 'silencers' are restricted (many countries with much more restrictive stances on guns consider them safety devices for hearing protection) among many others.

It might be time for a conversation, but let's not pack it full of over-simplified reductions. Mental health is probably a good place to start, but when it comes to guns, which very well might need to be part of the conversation, please remember we keep approaching the Star Trek world...

You don't need to circulate the water in a rice cooker. You do get more variation in temperature than you would get with a real circulator, but it's not enough to matter unless you're doing fussy egg cooking. For most cooking, a noncirculated rice cooker water bath worked just great for me.

>More likely it's a generic error page that shows up due to the traffic load, and has not been updated to match the "unscheduled" nature. //

If you put up an error page that says "scheduled maintenance" and the "maintenance" is unscheduled then that's a lie. It's not a mistake unless you accidentally put the wrong page up or something like that.

It's a pretty common corporate thing: they have a panic situation and instead of saying "we're overloaded with traffic and can't keep the server up but are trying hard to meet the load; please try again tomorrow" or something they say "scheduled maintenance". It's barefaced lying and it's a pretty good indicator IMO of low morals.

What's more if they said they had problems I'd personally be sympathetic. If they say they've "scheduled maintenance" at a busy time then I'm inclined to think they're pretty poor at running their business.
Got the same result :P

The only people who really need Polyscience circulators are restaurants and food service professionals. The advantage of the Polyscience circulator over the $200-$300 alternatives (or the $100-150 Auber DIY setups, or the $50-75 full DIY setups) is mostly volume. If you need to queue up 100 servings of protein every day, the cheap setup isn't going to cut it, and also poses HACCP issues.

He is dead weight. Drop him.

Achieving a difficult goal (like building a company) requires a fanatical, passionate determination that does not waver and which drives consistent "do it yourself" behavioral patterns. Independent initiative, determined focus, and unrelenting pursuit of your objectives are not optional.

Surrounding yourself with people who do not carry this same fire will hold you back.

I wrote a blog about this recently, and here is an excerpt:

"Setting an important, ambitious personal goal is the first shot fired in a war of attrition in which the entire world will seek to distract and demoralize you. It is a war for your time and attention, and success depends on the way you storm the beaches of every moment and seize them in the name of your endeavor."

The real headscratcher comes when you realise that all reversions are equivalent disregarding rotation. That is, reversing left/right is the same as reversing up/down and rotating around z.

You can actually get a up/down mirroring effect (intuitively speaking) by standing on a mirror and holding a piece of paper perpendicular to it. It will look up/down reversed, not left/right.

It's not a rhetorical question.

Did your company schedule taking down web services [that enable purchase of the products your promoting] for _maintenance_ on the day you're running a 24hour promotion?

Or, did you lie and say it was "scheduled" when it's anything but.

Or, some other state?

Scheduling maintenance today would be kinda like a shop deciding to clean all the floors the day they open for their annual sale.

Hi, the pricing has been updated. There was a typo:

The caching system and DB are the main costs
The notion that rich people voted for Romney while rich states voted for Obama may also be misleading. While you can attempt to prove this by comparing the incomes of voters at the 100k+ breakpoint, I'm fairly certain the correlation disappears if you set a breakpoint at 250k+. You can see this trend illustrated in the 2008 election exit polls[1]. Obama won the lower income ranges and McCain won the 100k - 200k ranges. However, Obama also won the 200k+ income level. In other words, if you look at those with incomes greater than 100k, it appears that McCain won the rich; however, if you look at those with incomes greater than 250k, the rich seem to favor Obama.

While I suspect something similar holds true for the 2012 election, such granular breakdowns weren't reported in this cycle's exit poll summaries. The answer is probably hidden away in Edison Research's database, but the raw data hasn't been released yet. For now, you can get a good feel for the income breakdown by looking at Reuters polls[2], and doing the cross-tabs yourself, but there are quite a few undecideds and the sample-size is small.

And I agree that the 250k+ breakdown is also arbitrary, though slightly less so, since it's the lower bound for what many politicians define as "rich". But who knows who those with incomes of 1 million+ voted for? I suspect it was probably Romney. But how about billionaires? The point is that setting such broad and arbitrary breakpoints can be misleading. I'm sure this fallacy has a special name, I just don't know what it is.
