Tent.io introduced a few cool ideas, so I'm glad it's part of the conversation, but it's definitely not the answer.

The developers behind it have a weird preoccupation with preserving all your content forever. For example, if you edit your Tent profile, people can still get all the old versions and see info that you deleted. And last time I checked, not only was this the default behavior, there was no way to opt out of it, either. And they claim this is a feature but nobody I have talked to wants it.

I also followed the Tent software's development for several months (initially I was extremely excited about the project). It broke frequently and progress on making it do what it was supposed to was slow. Plenty of features were promised ("we'll implement X next week") but never delivered even after months.

I don't think the developers really understand the problems social software solves, nor do they have a clear idea what their own project does and doesn't do (they seem to think everything should be a Tent.io app, which is crazy), nor are they particularly good at shipping. I've moved on, personally.

Soft drinks are one of the biggest offenders. Kids never fail to be amazed that there are the equivalent of 10 teaspoons of sugar in one can of coke.
The employees work on the projects they want to work on. Portal 2 happened because Portal 1 came out, and a lot of people in Valve wanted to do a Portal game. I would've be surprised if there is a small number of people working on the early stages of Half Life 3, or if there is a lot of people working on it without any announcement.
It doesn't seem like Dota 2 would take all of Valve's development resources. Granted they're doing steam box stuff, but I imagine that a large portion of the studio is working on something we haven't heard about yet.
Use Chrome's "click to play" feature or extensions such as Flashblock or "Stop Autoplay" if this is your problem. This feature is more useful generally.
These are nice but it's funny how they fall short:

1: you can't combine attr() and calc() - calc(attr(data-count) + 10) <-- nope

2: how would you count down from an arbitrary number of child elements? you need to set the total via counter-reset... and, no you can't do content-reset: foo attr(data-count)
I don't really understand their place in the world. For something that can be done for free with youtube or vimeo. It's pretty non-sensical!

Nice commission for that sales rep.

There was a talk recently Gabe gave a university, where he was sort of talk generically about how Valve compensates, and the figure of half a million was mentioned for a hypothetical hire from Weta. That's the closest to a number from Valve I've heard.

Edit: found the talk and the moment, and it wasn't quite as I remember http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=t...

> to be well under 10%. The guy at the U. Maryland center is on record for a prevalence of ~6%.

5% prevalance is very prevalent, given that in the west, unless you make all your food starting with basic ingredients, you have to work very hard to avoid wheat. It's used everywhere as a cheap filler, including (but definitely not limited to) candy, soup, salads, protein supplements. And that's before considering that a significant part of western diet is wheat based.

The most recent guy I discussed this with (who heads one research department in a top tier medical school) estimates it as 5-10%, which seems to be in line with the U Maryland guy you quote. That's ridiculously high for a condition that many people disagree actually exists.

> Nonsense. There are well-established tests for immunoglobulins to gluten/gliadin, and they're so widely employed that they're in the Merck Manual as part of the diagnostic procedure for Celiac disease.

That is correct. I was talking about general delayed allergy mechanisms. There are some experimental tests that are supposed to figure out specific food intolerance (of which gluten is just one example), and there is no standard for those in general. Some reputable labs offer a panel of running IgA and IgG from blood against (say) 90 different foods and their metabolites. These tests have no standards and are not generally accepted (yet, anyway), despite the fact that it is undisputed that this is a mechanism of action that can cause a >24 hour delay of response.

> People who desperately want to blame their low-level health problems on gluten take this to mean that the tests are inadequate; the medical community concludes that the tests are fine, but the "intolerance" (if it exists at all), is not mechanistically related.

Indeed, and that's correct, for the specific mechanism tested. But unfortunately, many also take this to mean no such thing as gluten intolerance exists. (similarly for other substances). That's not a valid position to take.

I have my own n=1 and enough of other anecdotal n=1 stories (and enough opinions from people I trust, and you would too given their credentials) to believe that wheat products -- not necessarily just wheat gluten, though it is probably the worst offender -- are bad for many.

I've gone through many elimination diets over the years trying to determine which foods aren't good for me - long before I heard of gluten intolerance. It might not be gluten at all, for all I know, but it has been consistent that removing stuff with "wheat" on the label from my diet makes me feel much better. (The most recent example was protein powder, which I figured was making me fill bad after 3 months or so -- and only then checked and realized that some wheat protein was among the components).

> Finally, not that it will change your mind, but a Wikipedia article about a diet fad is not a reliable source of unbiased information.

No, that's not reliable nor primary data. But Wikipedia is, more often than not, a good intro to a discussion, and some beginning pointers. I only referred to a couple of paragraphs as reasonable intro.

i'm not sure who is right (having been in both sides of the issue) but we can all agree on this one thing. client side MVC frameworks like backbone.js, knockout, angular, have helped front-end devs earn a "lot" more money than ever before. so you really can't fault them for using these frameworks regardless of if it's good or bad. :)
I don't think what your describing is science. At it's core science is a question of experimentation and running complex simulations can't truly provide new information, just validation. That said, there is a great temptation to call many things science because it lends credibility even if you go though the motions and ignore why honest experementwtion has value in the first place.

Some doctors are only interested in getting paid and seeing you out the door as quickly as possible. An alarming percentage of them from my experience, actually, if you don't fall within what they perceive as "well defined problem".

Especially if your symptoms do not immediately point at a specific problem, you have to be the primary contractor in caring for your health - no one else will do it for you.
I don't know. It seems like the defense can stipulate things that are nonetheless circumstantial evidence. Like, if the defendant acknowledges being in the area at the time, the prosecution no longer needs to deal much with evidence that establishes that, but that's still not "direct evidence" of the crime.

However, the main point of this thread of discussion I think was that even things that legally are considered "direct evidence" - say, testimony of an witness to the crime - do nonetheless involve some inference...

That is the basis of my favorite book, Snow Crash by Neal Stephenson.

From Wikipedia: The book presents the Sumerian language as the firmware programming language for the brainstem, which is supposedly functioning as the BIOS for the human brain. According to characters in the book, the goddess Asherah is the personification of a linguistic virus, similar to a computer virus. The god Enki created a counter-program which he called a nam-shub that caused all of humanity to speak different languages as a protection against Asherah (a re-interpretation of the ancient Near Eastern story of the Tower of Babel).

I'd defer to someone on the Chromium team if they have any input, but Chrome is what I was using at the time (not too long ago) and there definitely weren't any events firing for overscroll. It would be nice if they'd add notification about that, but it would be very difficult at this point to disambiguate between true overscroll and the animations that some browser/os combinations are displaying now. For such a niche use case (that really doesn't provide much benefit on non-touch pages anyway), I wouldn't be surprised if we never see it added.

Efficient here may simply mean efficient in the economic sense. As in, there may be a lot of pent up money to invest in this stuff, but not enough deals. At least, that's what investors keep telling me. Efficient would mean that supply equals demand, and this would be a mechanism to make that happen.

edit: Also, on top of not enough deals, investors don't normally easily get access. In the past, this was for the investor's protection, of course. Theoretically, this would also solve that inefficiency. Again, in the past, this inefficiency existed for the investor's protection, not a bad thing.

Upfront, I'll say that I'm not a particularly good crypto person.

For my honours project I developed a scheme for tracking users as they visited websites, with a design goal that I, with the tracking servers, can identify users -- but that publishers cannot. Or at least, they can't by intercepting anything sent as part of the tracking protocol.

I relied in part on javascript running in a browser. That doesn't work. It seems that so far the Crypton team are going to spend about 50% of their time explaining yes-it's-javascript-no-it's-not-all-in-the-browser.

Anyhow, any time you have code running the browser, it's unsafe against a malicious publisher. Your first instinct is "I'll serve my js files over HTTPS", which is lovely, except that in the browser execution everything can be found, introspected and replaced by javascript sent by the publisher.

This particular problem totally breaks the design I came up with. I didn't realise it at the time. Luckily there's no requirement to submit a secure protocol to get good marks, so I got a degree anyhow.

Subsequently I rewrote the tracking protocol multiple times, each time sending it for review by A Well Known Crypto Expert You've Heard Of. Each time he would pick holes in it. This went on for about 3 months. After this long process I managed to arrive back at a protocol that meets my original goals: track users without revealing to publishers who they are (unless the user wants their identity to be revealed). It's currently sitting in Geneva somewhere, waiting for a patent examiner to take a look.

Edit: Wait, that sounds kinda threatening out of context. It's not meant to be. Crypton has a very different use case in mind from me.

I didn't quite understand what was unique about the application of crypto in your product.

>Running complex simulations can't truly provide new information, just validation.

This is entirely and absolutely false.

I think you may want to read up on simulation (FEM, molecular dynamics, etc.). It's my research field. For instance, Quantum Monte Carlo has been used to calculate energy levels to a ridiculous level of agreement with experimentally measured values. There's plenty that can be learned about reality that can't currently be studied through experimentation because it's either 1) too expensive or 2) impossible to study with current technology.

Also, I wouldn't say science is "about" experimentation. It's about prediction. Any theory that can more accurately predict a system's future state than another theory is the better science. And simulations can do this better in many cases than experiment.
Namecheap to accept Bitcoin

I found a chrome extension a few months ago that does a lot of this. It's called MuteTab and bills itself as 'browser-wide granular sound management for chrome'. It's not perfect with flash, but makes a huge difference.

> I hate it with passion, but it lets me write circuits in the way I want.

Can you explain what you are doing. I am wondering if you might be making your work more difficult by not taking advantage of inference. Are you doing logic-element level hardware description? In other words, are you wiring the circuits by hand, if you will, by describing everything in VHDL?

I've done that of course, but I don't think it's necessary unless you really have to squeeze a lot out of a design. Where it works well is in doing your own hand-placement and hand-routing thorough switch boxes, etc. to get a super-tight design that runs like hell. I've done that mostly with adders and multipliers in the context of filter structures.

My guess is that you have setup several delay lines in order to process a kernel of NxM pixels at a time?

It's been a while but I recall doing a fairly complex shallow diagonal edge detector that had to look at 16 x 16 pixel blocks in order to do its job. This ended-up taking the form of using internal storage in a large FPGA to build a 16 line FIFO with output taps every line. Now you could read a full 16 lines vertical chunk-o-pixels into the shallow edge processor and let it do its thing.

The fact that you are working on a 70k LE Cyclone imposes certain limits, not the least of which is internal memory availability. I haven't used a Cyclone in a long time, I'd have to look and see what resources you might have. That could very well be the source of much of your pain. Don't know.
Come on, one would assume they would let you share a password even if it is "without the vendor's explicit permission".

Cisco was acting in their own commercial interest, which would be fine if their counterparty weren't either corrupt or incompetent.

It's reasonable for an enterprise deployment to try to standardize on some components, which costs something in size-inefficiency. It's ok to spec a 2-5x bigger product for some sites if most other sites are bigger, and if the big/small products are wildly different, etc. But that's clearly not the case here.

Arguably the state should have had in-house competence to spend money on the taxpayer's behalf, or should have engaged a contractor with fiduciary responsibility to design/spec the work (and excluded from bidding).
