As someone who does a lot of mountaineering, I'd be inclined to use this technique for my hands. But I'm a bit scared about risking to become hypothermic earlier. And I guess I would prefer to loos my toes then becoming severely hypothermic.

Though, I have recommended this technique several times to some female with very severe "cold hand" problems.

Btw: I think I've seen the same talk at MITOC Winter School. I forgot the name of the speaker but he was a great guy. (Quote: "If you can't bend them - that's a bad sign.") I think he speaks at MITOC every year.
Adoption is a $30-$60K process to embark upon and often takes years, featuring many potential roadblocks - the recent Russian decision for example shuts the door to many couples who've been waiting for months or years on waiting lists. Domestic adoption is a complex process also.

Assuming our upcoming donor cycle fails, adoption will be our final alternative. We are in our mid-40s now.
I think when you have kids, you accept that you are no longer fully in control of your life; you are forced to let go and accept your humanity. This is quite a healthy thing to do, among other things that sense of control was mostly illusory anyway. People who don't do this and keep trying to swim against the current of life end up pretty strange and warped I think.
Surveillance is neither communist or socialist in nature. It is authoritarian, which has more to do with fascism than anything else.
>By the way, the reason the state is "budgetfucked" as you eloquently put it is because of low taxes, not high taxes.

This is utter nonsense. California has both a high income tax and a high sales tax, and while property tax rates are low, property prices are high. Where I live you can pay seven figures for a tract home.

Tax receipts in the state are quite healthy - the problem is on the spending side, specifically a large and grossly overpaid bureaucracy.
> the product manager can really help think through before it even goes to the devs/designers.

I'm not convinced it's more likely that the PM can think through the issues better than anyone else on the team.

In any decision, in any industry, in any profession, the only way to make a good decision is to understand the cost and benefit at the same time.

IMO, almost all corporate software disfunction comes from that failure. The decider understands the cost, but not the benefit, or the benefit, but not the cost. Sales teams that don't understand the product, developers that never talk to customers, managers that don't understand how to code are all trivial examples of this.

If the PM designs the feature incorrectly without understanding how to code or understanding the current codebase, there could easily be a 10x cost difference, in terms of implementation and QA. If the developer writes a feature that no customer will accept, all implementation time is wasted.

How to fix that failure depends on the relative costs for the PM to learn the codebase, vs. the developer learning the business domain. Though both are nearly essential to a successful company.
i used to use logitech/squeeze, but recently switched (it's dying, as far as i can tell, and certainly wouldn't run on the latest opensuse) to audioengine D2 - http://audioengineusa.com/Store/Audioengine-D2

it's more expensive (i think), and less flexible than the logitech solution, but it's also (much) simpler, (much) more reliable, and better sounding (imho - i did some comparison tests and the DAC sounds similar to a decent "budget audiophile" DAC I own, and, incidentally, significantly better than the audioengine D1).

the D2 sender plugs into your computer and works just like a USB soundcard. each D2 receiver (you can have up to 3) receives wifi from the sender and outputs either digital or good quality analogue. the data transmits as 24/96 (ie decent quality) and there's a volume control on the sender that adjusts the output after the DAC (so you don't lose resolution).

then i just use whatever player i want (currently mpd, so i can have network and web clients - i am thinking of buying a small tablet to control the web client).

tldr - the D2 is a "done right" hardware solution, that sounds good, but it's not particularly cheap.

also, see this previous HN thread - http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4736980

ps if anyone wants to buy my (discontinued and unsupported) logitech hardware for a nominal amount i think i still have it. a duet and a boom. but i'm in chile, so i imagine shipping costs elsewhere are significant.

pps i have not used sonos, but i heard that there's some limit about the number of tracks or amount of metadata they can handle. if you have a lot of music i would check before buying anything. as far as i know, the sonos is more like logitech - it's a "system" that manages your music, while the D2 is more like a wireless soundcard (or wireless wire, with optional DAC). i prefer the latter because it means i can play around with other "audiophile" hardware on the audio end, and other software on the computer end, but that's just my taste.

Well, the meaning of >>= is impossible to grok in this context because the meaning of "bind" isn't clear. In fact, most of the Monad interface (bind, lift, etc.) is pretty unclear to most people because, I think, it doesn't map onto other languages' concepts.

In fact, I might say that the worst possible way to explain Monads to someone unfamiliar with the subject is to use Haskell's monadic syntax.

I feel that the OS has somewhat fallen behind the times, and fallen out of the limelight, so I'm glad to see some support for it still out there.

It's not the most popular OS in the world but it sure is a nice one. Everything I've ever used it for worked great once I got it dialed in.

I think the popularity of ragging on having kids is because it's finally able to be done in polite conversation without being seen as a monster. Some of us don't want kids, but find that we become second-class citizens when the topic comes up. Last night we had a barbeque with parents of a one-year- and two-year old in attendance. All night the conversation fluttered around nappies and toddler-proofing houses and more stuff about dealing with baby poo and vomit and whatnot.

On the one hand, it's fine, because these are new sets of parents using a pressure release valve, but on the other hand, it's screamingly boring because I've had to deal with the exact same conversation with new parents throughout my life. Try and change the topic and it comes back to baby vomit on the car seats or how the cat doesn't deal well with fistfuls of fur pulled out of her. It's not socially acceptable to indicate that it's boring to be in this conversation yet again - because to these parents, these kids are special. Which is fine, for them, but for me, the only thing that ever changes are the names.

I guess this is a long-winded way of saying that the ragging on having kids is also an escape valve; that it's a way of highlighting that not having kids is also a valid life choice rather than just bearing it silently. We'll never get to a point where it's perfectly acceptable to say 'No, I don't want kids' without speaking up from time to time.
Checking with some people here, it's actually more complicated than this: what I described is true for IE9 and below, but for Firefox, Chrome, and IE10 measured page load time will include execution of these deferred scripts.
I think the point was that Prop 13 was a gambit by incumbent asset owners to disproportionately tax newcomers. This worked perfectly well (for the incumbents) as long as California enjoyed robust net population growth, because the disproportionate tax burden was primarily born by newcomers. However, now that net migration has slowed, the disproportionate burden is now mainly born by natives of the state. It just doesn't make sense to continue this scheme, unless you are just a bitter old Boomer who hates your own children.

The problems of getting rid of Prop 13 will in the details. If you just eliminate it, you will drop housing prices across the board, and every homeowner will be hit (just as every homeowner reaped an unearned windfall at the time 13 was enacted.) There may be some way to phase it out over many years, or to get rid of the more ridiculous protections for corporate-owned real estate and inheritance transfers.

You seem to be missing the part about being an enterpreneur? Imagine you've got your own one-man LLC/whatever. This would be a business entity that basically just amounts to you yourself, and relies on only your personal skills to make any money.

If you want to develop apps for iOS on Linux, use something like MOAI or Love2D, or COCOS2D, and so on .. I use Linux as my main development machine, and regularly deploy directly to Android and iOS devices from this very seat. Of course, it helps that I'm using cross platform tools designed just for this task, but in case you didn't know it - its very possible to use Linux to develop for all Mobile platforms. The tools are out there ..

That's a pretty strange and common "us vs them" mentality. Unfortunately it doesn't really work - both your children and everybody else's children are all still human, as much as some people like to believe otherwise. It also doesn't work in the same way that making your adverts on a page bigger than your competitor's adverts doesn't work: eventually both you and your competitor have adverts so big that there is no content left on the page. Then the page is just junk mail and gets tossed in the trash...

While it's true nobody moves out of a 10 acre farmhouse in San Bernadino because Long Beach is too crowded, the low density parts of the state don't have any jobs and aren't particularly nice places to live to start with. So density in the nice, employment rich places matters.

San Francisco is an outlier. It attracts people who want to live in a dense urban environment and has a reasonable public transportation system. In most places higher density directly translates into less free time as a result of longer commutes.

What about "outside the United States". If all traffic is routed elsewhere, would that still count? I'm no fan of Hank Johnson - but I wish he'd amended his questions to get an on-the-record statement about whether communications are ever routing outside the country to circumvent wiretap laws.

> " First of all, the main problem for New Yorkers is the lack of this data for all the other train lines (i.e A-Z)."

Unfortunately this is not going to be fixed any time soon. BMT/IND trains have a distributed command and control system. Multiple signal towers control train movement within their own sectors of the system - and each signal tower has no information about the rest of the system.

This was necessary in the early days, before electronics existed.

So to this day there is no centralized snapshot of the entire system state, unlike the numbered lines, and thus no ability to provide an API.

This is a great step forward. I look forward to the day we can have a big jumbotron with real time locations of trains.

I think the article shows correctly the common problems at most organizations today. Many organizations don't have engineers who really care about usability over functionality, so simply "handing off high level wants" just doesn't work outside of a couple of rehabbed buildings in Frisco.

It's easy to have a reference to the Stripe article, where there are no PMs. But, this environment is the exception rather than the rule. After working in a few medium sized places, the ratio of engineers who place an equal level of detail on usability & functionality vs those that place a higher value on functionality/architecture is easily 1:6. And you can guess which ones are usually the Sr members. To their line of thinking, usability isn't something they have ever had to worry about.

I do agree with a previous poster that this is something that the startup culture is starting to change, but I would bet that this change won't be visible at most organizations until at least 5 - 8 years out as the engineer talent changes.

Now, I would say this problem is something that can be changed with some UX standards. The PM creates flowcharts and/or wireframes of the proposed solution > hands it over to the agile team > dev + ux discuss any flows that fall outside of established standards. As a PM myself, I would love this. To be required to only provide more end user/market requirements as needed would be ideal.

One issue with this is that usually with organizations that have these issues, the investment just isn't there in the area of UX (I sit here reflecting on my current situation).

I will bet that the product team disfunction mentioned in the article is directly reflected in said team's products. :)
The US Government is required by law fulfill its lawful contractual obligations. Debt is such a form of legal contract. So, by <law> Krugman's premise is false. If that is not obvious (as it should be), then now it is spelled out for you.

"First, [PQR borrower] have to pay back their debt. [XYZ borrowes] don’t — all they need to do is ensure that debt grows more slowly than their [earnings] base."

Second, to the extent this is even "metaphorically" true, it is only trivially true. For any borrower XYZ and PQR alike, I can make the same claim. eg, A corporation can "roll-over" its debt indefinitely under this constrain (for example, GE has done this for 100 years) or not. But also so can a family/business (eg. even a home roll-over a mortgage w. home equity loan or ect...then kids inherit house, etc). But all borowers as a mechanic do this through....paying back the old debt....first and issuing new debt....so again Krugman's is literally a false (as well as misleading) statement.
What a coincidence. I did the exact same thing yesterday, following the instructions here: http://trouch.com/2012/08/03/airpi-airplay-audio-with-raspbe.... You really need a USB soundcard for this to be usable though, unfortunately.
For those in here defending no oversight of FISA, note that the 2008 FISA revision included retroactive immunity for telecoms that had already been caught illegally monitoring Americans. Since then the program has been operating in complete secrecy, though there have been hints by Senators privy to classified information that alarming levels of spying on ordinary Americans is taking place. There have also been periodic leaks and whistle blowers hinting at massive data gathering operations. I think there is a big likelihood that ALL of our private electronic communications are being illegally monitored. The complete opposition to congressional oversight is another big hint that illegal activity is going on.
It's a great article, thanks a lot for sharing this.

Why are you just targeting "mobile"? If you were making a new global chat system, it would almost certainly be cloud hosted and baked into a web app. The main reason that xmpp / jabber don't catch on is that you can't treat it with delayed delivery like you can twitter, and you can't broadcast messages.

My friend is from the UK so when we talk about temps (they don't get the winter we get in my area of the US) I try to convert it.

I probably made it a .5 for mental calculating.

What legacy system could possibly prevent one from simply recording the position of every train every few seconds? This is not a particularly difficult problem for a billion-dollar business to solve.
We expect a certain about of editorial bias from newspapers, and we accept that individuals are going to have their own biases, but it's often not obvious whether a generically named organisation is tied to an ideology or not. This isn't a dispassionate report written by someone who incidentally holds certain political views, it's a report written with the express purpose of influencing public policy in line with a specific ideology. Knowing that is important in judging its conclusions, just as knowing whether a report on climate change has been funded by a windmill manufacturer may alter your impression of its claims.

Usually I send over the video and checklist of things to do.
