The big advantage of a rotating cast of competent VAs is forcing you to learn to write a good spec. :)

Getting good at writing specs is a great way to multiply your effectiveness. Outsourcing is a cheap and excellent way to learn.
I'm pretty similar, my wife is a confirmed celiac, so I know that I do not have that as my symptoms are no where near as harsh.

But for me I feel so much better when I avoid it, I don't get "sandwich sweats" I don't feel dopey, and most of all I don't get piles (hemorrhoids).

People try to make out I'm faddy, or that I'm being difficult, but the benefits are clear to me!
a classroom full of PhDs may be architecturally similar to an open-floor plan startup office, but the quality of sitting in one and thinking is different - mainly, it's quieter in a classroom. Quieter is good for thinking.

The startups I've seen don't particularly use whiteboards.
I agree, elimination diets are great. And this is all anyone can really do as an individual to find what works best for them. I did the same thing with dairy. I just feel better without it.
Udi's is so much lighter and tastier than all other gluten-free breads, I suspect black magic.

Also, best gluten-free pastas anywhere in my experience: Ancient Harvest Quinoa/Corn Pastas (http://www.quinoa.net/145/163.html, sold at Amazon, Whole Foods, etc.) Amazing mac & cheese, amazing spaghetti.
I have two BAHAs (bone-assisted hearing aids). Up until a few months ago, I had only one and yes - stereo hearing was not great, but hearing well in mono was better than not hearing well in stereo. I now have one on each side and do have some stereo hearing now.

As far as "bigness" I guess you just have to weigh the ability to hear verses vanity and getting a few stares now and then.

The word you're looking for is "mature."
Humanoid robot to be 'born' in months
Most of them are contractors, i.e. they're not on PAYE, they can use the dividend trick.
You know that Windows and (some) Linux desktop environments also have that feature, right? It's not "obstruct running any software not approved by Apple," it's "obstruct running any software marked with the 'downloaded from the Internet' taint flag, unless signed with a certificate in the OS's keychain."

It's a very sensible default for people who can't be trusted to not click on banners telling them to download a "FREE CAT SCREENSAVER", thus the universal adoption. And it doesn't hinder anything like software development at all, since programs you compile yourself aren't marked as tainted. (And you can just pop open a Terminal and drop the taint xattr from any file.)

Nevertheless, in all cases, in all these OSes, the Gatekeeper/Smartscreen-like system can be turned off, and always will be able to be. Otherwise, how would programs get deploy-tested? [You can't require signing with individual device deploy keys like for iOS deploy testing, because IBM-compatible PCs have structural identity--there's nothing equivalent to the UDID to tell them apart by. You could try using a fingerprint with the CPU model, MAC address, etc--but all those can be faked. Unless we get something like a TPM-based PC UDID, trying to do device keying on PCs is moot, and no OS vendor will bother.]

---

Actually, come to think of it, Linux also has this at an even more fundamental level: you can't install a DEB/RPM from the Internet as an automatic dependency unless its signing key is in your keychain, fullstop. There are actual programs I've installed (for example, ESL's distribution of Erlang) which require the user to "curl http://example.com/key.asc | sudo apt-key add -". Ubuntu's PPA system (using apt-add-repository et al) doesn't get around this, it just automates it with a prompt for whether you trust the key.
Every OS has chauvinistic users, but there's nothing to be gained by trotting them out for strawman arguments.
wait, you're sending from a google apps domain? From the web interface? It always just refused to send if I've tried to do that in the past, with a message explaining why. If you're sending from a different provider, gmail help claims it will bounce it back, not drop it silently, though I've never actually tried that.

In any case, not allowing specific file types as an attachment feels pretty different here, at the very least because the list of filetypes not allowed are enumerated[1], the refusal is explicit, and it's not due to the subject of the exe you're trying to send.

I'm like 99% they went back to server-side a few months ago for performance reasons.
As pointed out elsewhere in this thread, when you drop gluten, you drop pizza, some ice creams, and a ton of processed foods, so 'not eating garbage' may be helping more than 'not eating gluten'.
As for the DRM... has it ever really been onerous?

Steam's DRM is only offensive in theory. In practice, it works perfectly well for the vast majority of the users for the vast majority of the time.
The change detection algorithm is clever. But this is a classic memory vs. processor problem. The real trick here is that the Railgun service instantly adds massive amounts of cache to your service; it just so happens - if their claims aren't inflated - adding these additional resources to your service is transparent. This has nothing to do with Railgun being developed on Go.
I'm wondering if government agencies like the CIA, NSA and their counterparts in other countries look for vulnerabilities in programs but never report them to the vendors for fixing but instead catalog them for possible use in future exploits.

(actually, I'm not really wondering, it's probably naive to assume they wouldn't)
Spam should never be deleted. Plus when e-mail is sent OUT (not coming in) it is blocked.

No way to defend this. No spam filter should ever work like that, even if set up overly broadly.
Taxation is not physical violence? Good luck not paying your taxes.
Awesome indeed, the thing that always makes me sad though is that you'll always have that IE 8 user which can't see your website properly, sure, you can use Javascript to make up for it, but it kills the whole emotion of using something awesome.
It's the same design principle - design each screen first, then abstract out templates as needed - that makes me love Jekyll, since a static website is already a valid Jekyll site and it's up to you how much you want to use Jekyll’s post, metadata, and templating functionality, if at all.

Not that you'd use Jekyll for an app like Draft, I'm just saying.
You can also test this by trying foods that you wouldn't assume contain wheat, but they certainly do.

How bout beer, (most) licorice, soy sauce, and (most) taco seasoned meat? That should make you sick too. It made my son sick... well, not the beer; he was just a toddler at diagnosis. But yeah, eat Chinese and throw up for 3 continuous days, even though "fried rice doesn't contain wheat, does it?", well, yeah, it does, in the soy sauce, that kind of thing.
Your son has a medical condition that is truly horrible. He's the 1%.

20 years ago, the 99% of people who don't have conditions like your son's were refusing to eat products containing eggs, and were loading up on a variety of foods containing oat bran at inflated prices.

30 years ago, those some type of people were refusing to eat pork.
I don't care about your small company

You may not care about his company, but the hiring manager should. Small companys are vulnerable so they have to be extremely careful when hiring. A bad higher can quickly become both expensive and stressful.

Remember a small company have no professorial hr department and internal legal counsel that can help reduce this kinds of risk.

I am not saying that this necessary is right, but it is easy to get forced into an decision that is less then ideal.
I was going to say that wheat has been bred for more gluten content, but in the process of looking around for concrete evidence of that claim, I found this: http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/jf305122s So, nevermind that then.

It is entirely possible that it is simply an improved diagnosis artifact. My paternal grandmother, from whom I have inherited my celiac (yes, hitting my father too), relates a family tale about a great-uncle who was notoriously "lazy" and unmotivated, and who slept a lot. As a judgment of character in late 1800s farm-country Ohio, that's a pretty serious character flaw, but nobody had a clue it could have been diet-related (a suggestion that probably would have been found laughable, in favor of the character flaw theory). Obviously we can't prove it was a celiac case, but it matches our modern experiences in our gene line pretty well, so it is at least not an unreasonable theory. It's not unlikely Celiac's been around with us for a very long time... it's just that it usually doesn't kill you, certainly not prior to breeding age. (For which I am grateful.)
Perhaps you're right. It just seems a little underdeveloped in my opinion. There's a lot of talk around wheat's effects and this article could have included more information.

When authors make links to celebrities jumping on board I often end up not thinking very highly of what the celebrities are supporting. Particularly when the previous sentence is purporting gluten-free to be a 'fad'.

I guess in the end, it's not truly a poor article, it just does not go into as much depth as a feel it could have. I suppose it's all about the audience, and I am not the target audience for this article.
"Wheat Belly" is probably not a shining example to use here. It (rightfully) attracted a lot of criticism over the author's cherry-picking of citations (even those of studies whose own abstracts contradict his claims) and failure to provide concrete evidence for many of his most damning conclusions.

Some examples:

If the default behavior is to keep uploading photos until shit hits the fan, then it doesn't "just work" does it? You need to be told when to start cleaning up photos from your iCloud and how to do that properly (eg without deleting photos from your phone, so you can still show them to your friends).
...so you have no idea whether it's from cutting out caffeine or gluten. Great way to not understand your body! Try going on a seitan rich diet for a week (it's basically pure gluten made to taste like meat, and actually tastes quite good: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_gluten_(food)) - if you actually feel any worse (more than the nocebo effect), then you might really have a gluten problem. If you feel better, then the problem was most likely the coffee (or some other ingredient of the gluten containing foods you were eating, in which case you better of on no-gluten, so you'll need a further experiment to clarify this). Experimenting on your body is cool, trust me (yeah, it's boring compared to doing it with some hard drugs or psychedelics, buy still sciency and fun :) )
So, does this filter work for "not legal teens" or "totally illegal teens"? Because if not, that would be highly ironic.

So respectfully empathize with him, and point out your differences about activism.

Telling him to "stick to coding" makes you an insensitive clod, and sends a dangerous message to others with suicidal thoughts that their feelings are not welcome.
Google "barely legal teen" (NSFW) and you will know what it is.

Distribution of porn requires paperwork, age certificates from models/actors etc. Things get even more dangerous when actors can be reasonably suspected to be underage.

The author speculates that this filter was driven by paranoia and CYA mentality at Apple.
All the info I can find says that Rails team will stop releasing even security patches for Rails 2.3 as of Rails 4 release.

Do you have different info, am I wrong? I guess it's semantics on what "deprecated" means, but I'd be personally nervous using a product that is not even having security patches released by any maintainers.
I already saw that, but you see, it's not better. It's not useful at all.

The amazing thing about the Slate article is that it gives a list of several possible issues you can have when you observe that eating wheat gives you a problem.

I have pretty much ruled out actual celiac disease (though not officially); my symptoms just aren't that serious. It's pretty certain I have one of the other two afflictions listed in the Slate article, or possibly something similar that they just forgot to mention.
Went gluten-free for a month back in 2010, haven't looked back since. I didn't need to lose weight (although it's a nice side effect) but my psoriasis cleared up completely.

The tests for gluten intolerance are notoriously inaccurate. They test for antibodies for gluten in the bloodstream, and this only occurs when you have serious gut permeability.

Self experimentation is the way to go with this until the research catches up. Try it for a month, and see how you feel.

Also I don't see this the problem with a self-diagnosis being wrong. It's not as if by eating gluten-free you are directly harming your body.
They also (used to) block you from receiving e-mail with "fuck" in the subject line. I had an amusing conversation with support about this and they said it's part of their spam filter. I just re-tested this and the e-mail eventually came through to my spam folder.
#harlemshake on any of the site's urls activates the moovweb harlem shaker.. It was fun for some of the brokers sharing their dancing listings. :)
While thinking of themselves as consumers they do not have in mind using physical force to make producers sell them what they want at a price they like.

But if you start thinking about yourself as a proud citizen, a part of a "community", you might feel a napoleonic desire to force others to do something for a "good of everyone". This does not end up well. You may become a president.

I'll stick with a peaceful consumer perspective, thank you.
Flagging an email as spam isn't the same as deleting it.
For an individual, it doesn't matter whether the effect is placebo or not; it's real to the individual.

If standing on tiptoes and spinning around three times each morning makes you feel better, you should do it.

It's only for determining what sorts of interventions we should use for a larger population that we care about whether the effect is placebo or not.
Ugh if that's the case, then egg on Google's face for showing the user "Invalid user name and password" rather than saying (before even attempting to log in) "your domain administrator has disabled this feature".
You should try it. Headaches last a week, then it's all good. I sleep much, much better, and my mood is better. Plus, I drink no sodas, tea, or coffee, so I am saving several dollars per day. It adds up.
The problem is that most small government advocates are not actually working towards small government, but just towards a government that does what they want it to do.

Or they use it as a general catchphrase to abuse the slightly schizophrenic attitude of most voters, who want less government spending in the abstract, but will actually favor more (or equal to current) government spending when asked about individual programs or departments of government.
Didn't Newell explicitly deny that?
Is Kurk actively trying to stop all real estate and building development activity in his state?

One of the first things that often happens when someone is planing a public or private development is that developer/architect/engineer commissions an aerial photo of the project area. It allows for more up-to-date photography of that specific (and surrounding) area than may be available from USGS or the state's GIS office and can help to identify and address any number of environmental concerns that come up in the permitting process.

Yeah, government users are unaffected, but I have a box and multiple DVD's full of aerial photography commissioned by private clients. Development would have been constrained on those projects without those photos.
"Any time an App Store app gets released or updated, there's a fun game where you watch it slowly propagate to visibility among your friends and acquaintances"

Are you sure that is for technical reasons? I don't see a big advantage of pushing such updates to all customers in one go, and I can see an advantage of staggering updates (say 1% every hour over a couple of days): if your update breaks something, it gives you a fighting chance to at least adjust your web site before all your customers send you mail at the same time.
> How bout beer

Yep, tragically.

> (most) licorice

Yes again.

> soy sauce

Definitely. Thank god for tamari.

Dunno, I don't eat beef.
Could you please link to that platform?
> To avoid having to go to the reflog

Why should I avoid having to go to the reflog?

I've met a few folks that, upon learning about reflog, think that every time they run `git reflog` they are admitting that they made a mistake or have otherwise failed to accomplish some task with Git. It's not a failure to need reflog; even if it was, you shouldn't have such an aversion to failure. I frequently run reflog to re-orient myself just like I do with `git log` or `git status`.
According to the article, a full two third of people who thought the same way did not have gluten tolerance.

The mind is a powerful thing.
Based on your comment, I'm guessing you've never actually implemented anything with a client-side JS framework.

Yes, strictly speaking, there's nothing inherent to client-side JS MVC frameworks that creates a better experience for end-users (over traditional server-side MVC + client-side Ajax + DOM manipulation, or whatever).

Where they do provide benefit is to developers, for whom it makes creating rich interfaces absurdly easy. Again, to be clear, this does nothing for users. Unless, of course, you consider that reduced barriers to implementing rich interactivity induce developers to use it create better user experiences, and that purpose-specific tools reduce the surface area for experience-disrupting bugs (which, statistically, you'd have more of, since you're operating at a lower level of abstraction and having to constantly repeat yourself [unless, of course, you decided to generalize all your Ajax & DOM manipulation and wrote a framework... oh wait]).

But hey, don't let me keep you from thinking whatever keeps you inside your comfort zone.

(Disclosure: the foregoing is based on ~1 year of experience developing applications with AngularJS).
I have icloud and I'm not even sure what it's for

As far as I can tell, you pay $99 or whatever, and it periodically sends a text to your iPhone telling you it hasn't actually backed up anything in XX weeks.

Kind of a weird business model but then they didn't ask me.
That's great to know, thanks! Do you know of any better examples in support?
I'm sending via a non-Google SMTP server, and there's no bounce message or anything - it's just dropped. I'd argue that silently dropping any message from a known source, regardless of the contents, is wrong. I'd be ok with the -attachment- being removed if a scan shows it's a virus/trojan, but then there should be a notice to both sender and recipient.
It turned out the main culprit for me was dairy, not celiac (though it was a confusing road to get to that diagnosis), so I only know second hand. I have a friend with celiac who said it took a month "to feel good again", but that may have been "to feel great again" like you mention.

I've interviewed plenty of people with a degree or even a master's in CS that, while they can recite the definition of a hashmap, can't actually use one in a program.
I'd have no problem with somebody wearing this while I am in conversation with them. I would probably find it better than trying to speak to someone who is glued to their phone.
What I am describing in my first sentence is an aspect of U.S. law in general. If you can cite precedent that disagrees with my second sentence, I'd be very interested to read it.

All law is fuzzy because human concepts of morality and right and wrong are fuzzy. That is why we rely on human judges and juries to interpret them.
"The law" isn't some monolith, though -- it's defined by every institution (every person?) enforcing it, and every decision made in carrying out "justice".

There are laws which may or may not be levied against us in certain situations. You are implying that Swartz shouldn't have been prosecuted just because you feel what he did wasn't wrong. Your feelings are completely irrelevant. Someone felt wronged and brought it to the attention of those who could prosecute the crime.

Are you really saying that you'd be getting tired of people talking about it if someone who'd done just that was facing years in jail (a perfectly _legal_ consequence).

If it were receiving as much biased anti-law exposure as this case is receiving then absolutely. Swartz was facing years in jail, yes, but he might have (most likely) received a much more minor sentence.

What ardent Swartz supports need to realize is:

1) He made the decision to break the law - which it appears he clearly knew what he was doing was illegal.
2) He knew there were consequences - although probably not of the severity he thought.
2) No one forced him to do it.
3) There were other options for changing the system.
4) It was his choice to kill himself.

If you feel that the maximum punishment didn't fit the crime you should do something about that to possibly save others in the future. But please don't expect us all to have outrage over Swartz being punished. It's a shame he killed himself but that's tertiary to the issue of the entire case. Just because he killed himself doesn't mean he's less guilty or more innocent.
The Challenge of Remote Working
Nice work, really like this. Question, though -- any particular reason you're not serving the list of actors in an array?
Strong agree that addressing the overwork issues will go a long way towards mitigating the gender privilege issues as well.

However: very unlikely that we are ever going to resolve the overwork issues. Overwork is a part of Startuplandia's identity. In fact, overwork is a part of the American economic identity. Entrepreneurship is ostensibly easier in the US than most other places in the world because we don't push back on overwork until power imbalances start making the market break down.

Also, overwork mitigates gender bias and privilege issues, but doesn't resolve them. Yes, getting everyone home for dinner cuts back on the "do you have small children" questions. But it doesn't resolve the "where else am I going to find a date" problems, or the "you need to be less emotional" problems.
