Those people were talking about FPS games. Diablo's point-and-click interface is not as immediate and while it does benefit from going beyond 10 FPS, you won't see too much of a difference from 30 to 60 FPS.
Apple has a program called MFi, usually you're supposed to get a MFi license if you make hardware for the ipod/iphone family. Since idapt doesn't list MFi anywhere, I'm guessing that they don't license it, and they aren't popular enough for Apple to sue yet. You don't have to ask Apple if you're just going to violate the license anyway... as long as you're small, Apple probably won't care. I think these guys tried to do the "right" thing.

I'm sure there are a few dozen chinese companies that violate all kinds of licenses that nobody really cares about. There's this chinese company that makes an iPhone knockoff that is actually called "iPhone" -- saw on the streets of Hong Kong. How do you think they do it?
It's not changing.

There's a lot of evidence that ordinary healthy humans need a particular amount of salt each day (adjusted for activity, age, etc), with not much variation. There's some epidemiological studies that show that most humans do end up consuming that amount of salt - i.e. the physiological->psychological feedback loop that triggers the impulse to eat salty things is well-controlled.

Eating both too little and too much salt can lead to very major health problems.

Popular fads on salt in diet changes all the time though; luckily that can't stop our bodies (unlike problems with anorexics; junk food; sugars; etc)

Your comparison is still off. North Koreans will risk their lives to escape to rural China. In China and Philippines there might be poor sanitation and malnutrition but you won't find a lot of people actually starving to death.
I'm well aware of what a "food desert" is. I live in Chicago. What I don't understand is what that has to do with garlic, or how you managed to somehow pivot from garlic to an addled, irrelevant argument about privilege.

I wouldn't care so much except you used the one food item gourmet cooking shares with all cooking around the world across every economic class everywhere to do it with, and I just couldn't handle it.

What about putting Cloudflare over your site? They sit between you and the user so they request the files from you one or few times and then people download it from them.

You could also just get a nice big bandwidth allowance, Hivelocity have really good prices. If you go to the network tab and change it to 20tb the server's still very cheap plus there's very cheap providers like hetzner.de in Europe.

I might be misunderstanding how Facebook advertising works, so correct me if I'm wrong, but from my work with it I understand it to work as follows:

I (a Facebook user) have likes, I have interactions with things (pages, people, websites) and I have personal information (age, gender). An advertiser can target these things (eg: 21 year old male) but they cannot say "Give me the profile URLs of every that likes Minecraft" can they?

For example I currently have this advert displaying on Facebook: http://i.imgur.com/3p9oy.png, Thinkgeek don't know who I am, only Facebook does. Thinkgeek provide the targeting information, Facebook execute it.

If this is the case, how would a company like Thinkgeek ever know to message me about Minecraft things? unless Facebook provided them with my profile, which they do not. The only way to do it would be if they were scraping profiles, which Facebook do not allow and if Facebook were to allow it they would build out such a system (targeted messages).
We desperately need a Poe's Law or a Godwin's law to describe this common scenario. In any sufficiently-long comment thread, the probability of someone falsely equating the USA and $DICTATORSHIP, or invoking moral relativism to achieve the same end, approaches 1.

In the anime, they actually explained how to cook bread in a rice cooker at the end of one episode.
Because much of people's preference for certain types of food are acquired and not necessary (or even beneficial). During times of poverty, there are often pressures to change preferences, leading to a much higher rate of innovation. (Special case of general mechanism in creative destruction / evolution)

Once a preference is established, it can stay for a long time because there's a physiological tendency to like food you've eaten (without ill effects) before. There are few social forces strong enough to override that.

They still don't get the point - It wasn't about "being clear" about their TOS. It was about misleading their users unethically.

Instagram's pitch before their users came in-

"Hey we're a free photo enhancing service, come and join us, we don't sell your photos"

Instagram's mindset after they got their users -

"You know what? We need to make some quick cash. We're going to claim all your photos as ours and we are going to give ourselves the right to do whatever the shit we want to do with it, even re-sell it."

Some questions:

If you had intentions to make money, it's perfectly understandable. But who gives you the right to re-sell our content? You never told us that you're a stock photo site when we joined you and you had intentions to re-sell our content, You're luring users to join your service under the guise of 'FREE' while you have malicious intentions inside you.

Now we know what this unethical company is capable of, I am never going to rejoin their service, no matter what their TOS says. Because fuck you, that's why.

For newer iOS devices, I was under the impression that if a passcode is set and the screen is locked, the USB host can't access the contents of the device until the passcode is entered. However, once the screen is unlocked, iTunes on the host can obtain tokens to automatically unlock the device later on.

Do newer Android devices also have something similar to this?

> You're ignoring the probability that banks would find such a a loophole. The U.S. subprime mortgage crisis was an indirect example, but allocating the majority of blame to the banks is not appropriate.

You're ignoring the fact that banks lobbied to have Glass-Steagall repealed in the first place :) In computer term, you could say they used privilege escalation to create this loophole. And considering the amount of cash NPEs make, they're probably doing whatever they can to ensure the statu quo remains.

Now, you may very well argue that they are acting rationally, and they certainly are. But they do not exist in a vacuum. They are also acting outside of a moral framework, and harming the interests of the majority. There is little difference between the mob asking asking a small business for protection money, or a patent troll getting a settlement out of a small business for an overly broad patent: in both cases, it's extortion. Why shouldn't they be vilified, just like SCO was vilified back when it had the same business model? These people add nothing of value to the world, they actually try to subtract value.

You can argue there is a problem with Congress if it allows lobbies to write laws. But it would be exactly like blaming an official for accepting an unsolicited bribe, but not the person doing the bribing (which in real life would receive the harshest punishment).
I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone mention this addition to the ToS:

"Except if you opt-out or for … 'Excluded Disputes' …, you agree that all disputes between you and Instagram (whether or not such dispute involves a third party) with regard to your relationship with Instagram, including without limitation disputes related to these Terms of Use, your use of the Service, and/or rights of privacy and/or publicity, will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration …"

So if you fail to opt out of binding arbitration and they do go ahead and use your likeness in ads without your permission, you don't get to sue.

Classy.

Yeah, not sure when, but it's been the case that the MTP/UMS was unavailable if the lock screen was locked (with a pattern/pin/pw). I'm not sure if that also applies to adb. (If it doesn't, then the protection is useless since adb can pull data).

If it's just pure juice coming out of the connector it just loads.

If there's some process that tries to initiate a data connection you get two buttons, asking:if you want a PC-Suite, or a mass storage connection.

That said I think he makes a very valid point and my phone is pretty much an exception nowadays (as, unfortunately are Nokia smart phones in general).

Without wanting to quell any enthusiasm (or cause too much confusion), it's probably worth pointing out that any real-valued time-series input will result in a similarly symmetric pattern. I can't explain why that's true in a way that makes sense with the analogy used here, but it is.
I remember when Safari was very buggy in its early versions and some folks within Apple had taken to calling it "So Sorry". I had several bug reports on a web app my company had developed for Apple that turned out to be Safari bugs. They were fixed rather rapidly, which is what would finally convince my contacts that it definitely wasn't a bug in our web app. "So Sorry" they said...
Unfortunately, I think this headline can be generally stated as the following and still be true in most cases:

X listening in on Y - Z doesn't give a shit if you approve.

Where X is any major world government, Y is any major commercial communication system and Z is the vendor of that system.

This isn't conspiracy theory stuff. The US government, for one, doesn't even really bother to hide the massive amount of general sigint scanning they do online anymore nor the fact that they routinely compel large carriers to be complicit in making this as easy as possible.
SO MUCH EASIER: Carry a tiny AC->USB adapter and a USB->mini or USB->dock or USB->lightning cable. Plug into mains on these charging stations instead of USB. Done and done.

Added bonus: You can charge when you get to the hotel, too.
I assume this is trolling, but I'll answer anyways. SQL-injection is about using SQL databases the wrong way. NoSQL injection is about using NoSQL databases the wrong way. MongoDB had a NoSQL injection in it's PHP driver a while back. It's also prone to SQL-injection as noted in the documentation:

"MongoDB operations permit you to run arbitrary JavaScript expressions directly on the server:
$where
db.eval()
mapReduce
group
You must exercise care in these cases to prevent users from submitting malicious JavaScript.

Fortunately, you can express most queries in MongoDB without JavaScript and for queries that require JavaScript, you can mix JavaScript and non-JavaScript in a single query."

So while it's certainly easier to avoid this kind of injection, it's certainly not bullet proof.

It would seem that everyone here has ignored how many different ways that rice cookers are used in the far east.

It's very common to put a whole chicken or salted duck egg (in the shell) in with the rice when it cooks, by the time the rice is done you have a hard boiled egg.

Then, you put a wire stand on top of the rice and a shallow metal dish on the stand, and put in some meat, and some vegetables and you have a whole meal.

If you don't have access to any other way, rice cookers are not half bad at popping popcorn (though if I have a choice I do it in a wok).

I have recently moved from Thailand to Cambodia and am still waiting (four months now) to move my things to Cambodia, but I have a rice cooker.

So I still use the rice cooker every morning to make ramen every morning. I buy some ground pork and bean sprouts in the wet market down the street, first boil the water, then add the meat, and then add the soup mix and bean sprouts.

Many cheap rice cookers include a steaming rack which you fit above the bowl. I use this all the time to cook frozen dim sum -- or a steamed version of the fritata that was mentioned in the article.

As some of the other posts mentioned, it would be nice if there was a low heat setting so it could double as a crock pot, but then, there is a reason that rice cooker pots are made from aluminium and crock pots are a thick ceramic.
The landing page has too much useless junk on it. My advice would be that unless it adds to the actual functionality of the page to eliminate any. If you're having problem rate every element on the page on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being "fluff" and 10 being "must have" and then cut everything that's 9 or less.

Also either hire someone who has an art direction background to layout the page or use a template. And again, more colors aren't better.
motorcycle group rides are the worst - overtaking a slower moving vehicle becomes way more risky. the first guy assesses, knows he will fit. second guy has enough power and reaction time to follow. the third+x goes in blind and behind and sometimes goes splat. sometimes because of a vehicle, sometimes because the vehicle in front blocked the view of a tightening turn.

riding in a group for a long time also gives you tunnel vision as you follow the guy in front of you all the time. if he goes down, target fixation kicks in and you hit him.

a good group has the rookies in front, to set the pace. rookies at the end mean the worst riders need to go the fastest.
That really depends on the kind of product you're pushing. If each conversion for you is worth $100,000 and your chances of converting are 1/10,000 it would still be VERY worth it ;)
They addressed it in 2008, http://blogs.skype.com/en/2008/10/skype_president_addresses_... claiming "after we urgently addressed this situation with TOM, they fixed the security breach". But the problem is still there in 2011 noted in the post.

The whole "Nate Silver makes pundits look bad so pundits will all grasp at straws and twist his words to try to make him look wrong so they can feel relevant again" act is getting a tad old.
They could have taken the blame for meaning one thing, saying something else entirely, and apologizing to their users for all that alarm that their clumsy TOS justifiably provoked.

This could be followed with a brief account of how they actually see advertising working on the site (hopefully it's not stupid or creepy), making a retraction of the bad terms, and saying that they'll be revising the terms to support this direction and this direction only.

Finally, they may want to acknowledge that users have every right to value their IP highly, and that Instagram knows that while their service is popular, it doesn't justify the kind of liberties that the bad TOS was taking with IP that isn't Instagram's in the first place, and what they're really focused on is a trade that everyone sees as fair. They can add that they appreciate people's patience as they take the time to get the exchange right.

I'm amazed anyone would call HTML5BP "bloated".
But hes not building a business on FB, hes building a business on browsers to change the way they display FB. This reach alone makes me feel like you're being a bit unreasonable, and the open source demands kind of confirm it.
But before the acquisition, the Tom skype has already monitored the chat.
Yes. Still crap.
No. He means using a deb with a packaging system will install those dependencies automatically. Otherwise it would be the instructions to manually 'install xyz beforehand'.
I'd say the problems the Facebook team ran into were related to the universal difficulties of HTML5 development. The tools are nothing compared to native app development. In making native apps, developers can visually create the GUI, double-click an element and immediately program its response. But with HTML5, everything is done programmatically, with great pains. When you run into problems you have to debug JavaScript, CSS, HTML, and any client libraries, possibly written in yet another language. The tools just aren't there, so continuing to maintain an HTML5 app that performs quickly and nicely like "Fastbook" does is far too costly, considering how much more easily a native app can be created and maintained.
