The difference is in the complexity of the parts. A bolt gun receiver is much more complex to build than any part on an AR-15, which is the closest thing out there to a gun you can just bolt together.

When I cut carbs, I was shocked that bagels had the highest protein ratio of any carb-based food, including hippie bread like Dave's Killer.

And nuts are filling for those calories. Peanut butter (with added oil) I suspect is too easy to eat to slow down calorie intake.
Please, could someone take this image and build it for the BlackBerry Playbook? because that thing is collecting dust under my bed at home.
I'm afraid, only few people are familiar with internals of Erlang VM, especially, if that VM is totally different from BEAM. Thus, there's no reason to opensource it, at least yet. Though, build.erlangonxen.org is open, contains the most recent stable version, and free to use.
And yet, almost everyone does.
Not that I disagree, but this is pretty much the paleo/primal/slow carb diet packaged as "the top 11 lies from mainstream nutrition."

Instead of leading in with "There's a lot of misinformation out there...", say it like it is "As a fan of low carb diets, here's what I get mainstream nutritionists get wrong..."

(Disclaimer: I try to follow a low carb diet)
Agreed. I've mostly forgone using bootstrap-like foundations because of this issue. It's a lot easier to build something custom from scratch than to undo all the bootstrapped stuff. Maybe it gets you some pretty button styles off the starting block, but later when you really need to fine-tune your UX, it's hard to disentangle what you want from what's "in there". Plus, I find it a lot easier to create semantic markup when I can choose the class names and structure myself rather than using things like "col-256" which force you to create extraneous markup.

Realize that his business may not be failing due to the housing crisis, but to other factors that you may not know. Find out more before any decision is made. Sometimes, business owners dig themselves into a hole they can't get out.
Maybe you did make a mistake. Your family had a diversified income stream before. You probably didn't send your dad money, but at least you weren't draining him, and if the worst happened, your income could have been a great help to the family.

Now all your family's eggs are in a single basket ... which is already leaking. Strategically, this was not optimum for your family.

Your dad is emotionally invested in his business, which has caused him to hold off shutting it down. Finally, he made that difficult decision, and you've come to muddy the waters.

I'm uncertain what kind of web site can realistically be expected to pull a failing floor tile store into success. Perhaps you and your dad can examine the local economy around your dad's store and start fresh with a new business, in a new industry, combining your skills.

There are vast portions of the workforce for whom productivity does not depend on getting stuff out of ones brain and into the computer, like it does for us. For lots of people, primarily managers, productivity involves getting stuff out of the computer and into the brain. Touch interfaces are very productive for these kinds of tasks.

Typically these people are the ones holding the purse strings, so targeting them is a good strategy.
No. The price has been increasing gradually and abruptly for the last 2 or 3 months. As well, over the past 2 days GA says there's been 26,107 unique visitors to my Silk Road page; if 1% actually buys bitcoins (in line with the famous 1% rule of the Internet), that's just 260 people buying bitcoins.

http://blockchain.info/charts/estimated-transaction-volume-u... suggests that daily bitcoin blockchain transactions make up something like $8m; much of this is just people shuffling bitcoins around of course, but even so, 260 people aren't going to push the exchange rate to $29!
Being a big Prolog fan, I think this looks like an awesome product. This sort of textual analysis will become more important as time goes on. As the interest in search technologies grows, I think intelligent search (contextual queries, query answering, clustering, recommendations, meta-data extraction etc.) will start to appear in more end-user products.

What nginx needs to become the ultimate platform, in my opinion, is to provide an API for interacting with WebSockets by transient processes (such as PHP). That way it acts as a surrogate pub-sub handler, whether or not your instance stays as a running process.

That'd be a dream for what I want to do. At best, we have to use Node.js as a WebSocket provider and tie it in with the PHP sessions, etc. Not as simple as I'd like.
There's a little more to it than that. When you're in a ketonic state your body burns stored fat rather than carbs. [1]

For example for me, normally on a 2 hour bike ride (@ ~120bpm) I would need to drink ~2.5 bottles of glucose drink to keep my blood sugar levels high enough. When I'm on a keto diet I'll only need 0.5 bottles of glucose drink during the ride to stave off the knock. [2]

The traditional definition of empty calories would be something like a spoonful of sugar.

That's an extreme example, but the idea is that the food in question provides calories without nutrients. So there is such a thing and it makes plenty of sense.

The multitasking looks really good, it is an interesting way to solve this problem. If their implementation is as good as it is presented, we'll see Apple and Google copying this on their platforms.

It seems to me that this offers many of the benefits that I see with OS X, an interface that lets me just do what I want without a bunch of pain, but if I need more power I can drop down to the shell and really get at what I need. Additionally, if using MS Office on the device is possible in a non-shitty way, it will be amazing. They talked very little about this, so I'm skeptical, but it would be absolutely killer if this worked well. US business lives in MS office and a way to easily use it is REQUIRED before tablets can begin supplanting desktops in the enterprise.

The rip off of Apple's styling for the promo video is distracting and unnecessary. Come up with your own styling for this, the offering looks appealing, you've got capabilities that other competitors lack, there isn't a reason for you to copy someone else's presentation style.

3 hours ago near Maslak, Istanbul

Today I was at the Istanbul courthouse third time this year. I attended a trial defending myself to a judge. Then I bore my testimony to a prosecutor about a different case. Both cases were about the free speech platform I own in Turkey. Meanwhile in the world, one of my older posts in Stackoverflow became Hackernews #1 & reddit/programming #1. I wish it was Turkey which made me feel better about myself, not the rest of the world.
I doubt North Korea has the capacity to mount a nuclear warhead on a missile or artillery shell. If they tried to drop it with a bomber it would surely be shot down. Yes they could devastate Seoul with artillery, but the question here is why would they do that and what would they have to gain from it. The only thing sure to happen from such an action would be full-scale war, and the subsequent collapse of the North Korean regime.

Unlike the first Korean War, the Chinese are not likely to be on their side, as this time around, China is much more integrated into the international stage (read depends much more on international trade and stable relations) and China has more to gain by siding with UN forces. Of course in the aftermath of such a war, China would still want a North Korean state friendly to the Chinese government, but I doubt they would go so far as to go to war with UN forces to achieve this. Most likely they would support military action to depose the current regime, but not a complete takeover of North Korea by the UN (not so unlike the last Korean War).
How does your offering compare to Calais from Thomson-Reuters?

Edit: To be specific, it looks very similar. What do you have that Calais doesn't?
You're commenting (and just created an account) on a site called hacker news and you cannot think of something to do with it?

- build apps or port apps to work better on it. I can also do this without having to resort to Java like Android if I want to do things the recommended and supported way. I am also guessing that running su/sudo on it will not feel like an ugly hack to do like it is on Android[1] since it should be built in.

- run scripts (you can do that on Android with the Android Scripting layer and the terminal emulator, but it still has its quirks).

- easier access to things that are harder to deal with on Android or iOS (development tools) via apt. Perhaps even something like Blender or Gimp will run decent on it.

There are lots of possibilities. Perhaps not if all you want to do is browse the web and check email. However, I consider it another way to hack around and build things.

Absolutely this. Everybody's body is different and respond in different ways. You have to work out what works for you.
I found cutting out nuts to actually be one of the more effective ways of losing weight. I previously snacked on nuts way too much throughout the day, which ended up being as many calories in aggregate as some of my meals. That oil+salt combo is addictive, at least for me.
That's exactly what I need to start working again on my algo trader! Seems to be working well with a sample of financial news extracts. Will definitely look into it further, thanks!
Any mobile development will help laptop and desktop users. They recently cut down 200MBs of RAM usage in Unity. All apps from phone and tablet will be portable to desktop. I sincerely hope Ubuntu pursue's it to the end.
Fear and Loathing Before the Paywall
When they mentioned "sharing" I was hoping for something like Android's share which would take whatever I'm looking at and give it to another app. Instead it's just social networks. Better than Apple's lame lock-in to Twitter and Facebook but sharing between apps in Android's a killer-app.
What about the thermic effect of food? 100kcal of protein yields less final energy then 100kcal of carbs.

Calorie counting will probably have you losing weight, but reduction of carbs to protein for example will assist with weight loss better. Also protein is more useful to your body than carbohydrates.
Too bad... seems they've fixed it ;P.
I should imagine going public wasn't too difficult- it was already known that they were hired by the New York Times to investigate hacking attempts against them.

I suspect, as you state, they'll get a good amount of business out of it. And it's a lot easier for them to stay secure than the average company.
I find that Unity feels sluggish and inelegant, performance wise. There is always a slight delay when I open the dash, and I generally dislike it's behavior. However, I stay with it because I dislike the alternatives, so no point switching for me.

I think this is good news for Unity on the desktop because it means they will be tweaking the hell out of it for performance. I read that it's already better in 13.04, and we can probably expect it to get better over the releases.

Other than that, I wouldn't use Ubuntu on tablets right now. I'm not enough of an early adopter to switch to this OS which is - let's face it - probably not ready for prime time and still pretty buggy. The first versions of Android sucked, I don't see why this would be an exception. Nailing it on the first try is very hard.
When I can install it on my iPad I might give it a try. Till then, why should I buy another tablet to play with Ubuntu?
Lots of references, but I checked one at random and the article misrepresented the content.

Specifically, the claim "Eating gluten can damage the intestinal lining, cause pain, bloating, stool inconsistency and tiredness". But reference 14 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21224837) is a study of something else entirely: they studied people who had IBS, tested negative for celiac disease, but reported that restricting gluten intake helped their symptoms.

The study showed that the patients were right: under double-blind conditions they had less symptoms under a non-gluten diet. This is an interesting result, and the authors conclude that "Non-celiac gluten intolerance" may exist, but no clues to the mechanism were elucidated.

But converting this into medical advice for the vast majority of people who are not suffering from clinical levels of IBS is not an honest representation of the research. Given that the rest of the article makes a lot of bombastic claims mixed with what I already assumed was "mainstream nutrition" (it would be nice for them to define this), I think it's safe to put this article/site in the kook pile.
Jedi is pretty good actually. Initially it would sometimes be slow and mess up buffers, but that didn't happen for a long time.
Exactly what I thought. It seem to me that one of the principal reasons someone would takes an online course is if thier schedule won't allow them to take traditional college courses(i.e. works full time and has kids at home). Should it then surprise you that these are the people with the highest attrition rates.
There's been a ton of performance improvements made to Unity for the past 6 months (mostly due to needing to work on things like Tablets).

Here's an example of the work from Feb:

- https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2013-February...

- https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-r-redu...

For me the Dash is now finally fast/almost instant as opposed to 12.10. All these improvements will be in 13.04 (and the select safe ones will be backported to 12.04 over time).
Wow. This is what Unity is for. I'm still on Gnome on my desktop because I'm not a Unity fan, but this is really incredible. Android better watch its back.
Ironically, it might be the walled-garden ecosystem of tablets that ultimately leads to mass end-user adoption of Linux. The desktop introduces too many complications -- there is a much larger set of use cases, and thus a larger set of situations where a Windows-convert can get confused, discouraged, or frustrated. Tablets, on the other hand, with their relatively fewer ubiquitous uses, can be fine-tuned in way that requires little-to-no end-user servicing. If Canonical can employ the Apple/Android software store model with enough flexibility that power users can still make meaningful modifications, then this could be the biggest thing to happen for end-user Linux in a long time.

The aftermath would be devastating to them. The US and UN would invade. The situation would be a huge pain in the ass for China.
I mostly agree with the article. The bit on too much Omega-6 surprised me (I like flax seed oil, and after some research I will probably cut down on this).

Sorry for plugging my own stuff, but I like to see the approximate nutrients in the meals I make so I built a little web site that lets me check the recipes I use (http://cookingspace.com - still a work in progress).
It's been picked by all major media outlets. Canonical is trying to create a buzz so major vendors start paying attention to it. I think they have been really successful in doing that. If Ubuntu comes with 10 basic apps that I use let's say Chrome browser and an ePUB reader. I would totally switch.
"have thousands of goals where each goal can be tracked by how well you handle problems."

My children are experiencing this in K12 math via xtramath as part of their school curriculum. Reforms like this bubble up from the lower levels, so my children will have decades of this method of teaching before I'll get to finally experience it with advanced cryptological number theory or whatever. You may be surprised at how heavily your new idea has long been implemented at the lower grade school levels.

Three closely related, yet somewhat different examples are the * koan projects where * is pretty much every trendy language, project euler, and traditional paper and pencil Kumon math and reading classes.
Dongles is probably a misnomer here. While dongle probably means something you plug in to authenticate, many two factor auth 'dongles' don't plug in at all. They have a LCD screen that shows a one time use token (6+ digit number) that you enter at the same time as your password.
> That's not actually the problem; communication doesn't change the game theoretic situation.

Umm, yes, actually, it does. If the participants can communicate their intentions, it's a different game with a different set of outcomes.

PHP simply is not suited for long lived processes. If you only want the ability to push something to clients without polling, then maybe you could set up something very simple with python, and communicate over redis or some other MQ.

Main thing on Ansible is the focus on multi-tier and process orchestration, without having to rely on coding up event paths between nodes -- admittedly it's a niche problem, but to me, deployment is as important as config management, and often harder. That being said you can write deployment in anything if you try hard enough, but I built what fit my brain and the particular needs of a few past companies deploying multi-tier web apps. While it is easy to have ad-hoc in the product (Puppet also does this with mCollective), it's a bit harder to be able to both model deployment and declarative state, and then make that into content you can hand over to a security auditor who doesn't know the language and he can say, yep, that's exactly what we want.
I still don't understand the tablet form factor. I concluded that it's not for me some time ago, but am waiting for the general population to come around to one glaring flaw: you have to hold it. For me, it doesn't matter how light a tablet is. A five pound laptop will always feel lighter since it will effectively weigh nothing because it's always on some kind of platform during use, either my lap or a flat desk/table surface. The tablet holds your hands and/or your legs hostage as you need to get into that special tablet-viewing position to prop the thing up on your thighs. I don't mean to come across as a cranky person who bemoans tablet use, I just feel the process is cumbersome not being able to have your hands free and wonder if people really think this is the form factor to usher in the "post-pc" era, whatever that is.

That said, our (USA) national interests are at stake here. So far, we've left it up to the individual commercial parties to police and defend their own networks and that isn't working as well as we would like.

I know that there was once a trial balloon floated to get the NSA to help commercial interests properly detect and defend their IT infrastructure. IIRC, the privacy interests considered that a bigger risk than the Chinese. I'm not sure that isn't a bit myopic.
