You made a mistake. What you meant to say was:

> I really do not understand how people can stand to factory farmed meat.

Not all meat comes from those hell-holes in the vidoes, and not all animals die in such horrible ways.

Open your eyes, learn about alternatives.

(For one example, I live in a place that has twice as many moose as people, and I hunt every year, filling my freezer with organic, ethically killed, sustainable, local meat)
Interesting idea! I wouldn't recommend trying to play this after being on the vino all night though.

Excuse me while I find a bucket.
> How do you know animals are born with such rights (or if humans are, for that matter)

In my world, the only obligations anyone or anything has, are to defend yourself, and to treat others in the manner that you would want to be treated.

Exploiting a superiority over another species just because you can, in my opinion, is an indication of that one hasn't transcended inferior instincts.

All personal opinions of course, I could be wrong about everything.
Interesting (and cool) that he came to design with a EE degree, so he really does understand the entire stack, from elegant user experience down to the p-n-p junction.
A few things:

-Have you shipped yet? If you're doing the what-if game, or bugging out about tiny details, I suggest doing an MVP first. Then use metrics to find out what really moves the meter in terms of revenue. Doing triage with your to-do list will help.

-If there are any startup meetups near you, I suggest going to some. It will help if you can find some peers to talk to. They've probably been where you are and can show you how they balance work/life.

-If it's really a problem and things get dark, see a psychiatrist.

I am 80 % vegetarian. I eat beans/pasta/rice and other vegetables for most of my calories. I love it and it's healthy and cheap, 2 things I like.
With good diet publicity and low prices on key foods, this kind of diet should become attractive to more people...
Just curious as it seems pretty static; inputting values and outputting charts. Any capabilities to add interaction like selecting data points and analysing a particular point with it's other attributes that are not plotted?
Interesting historically (particularly that the U.S. Secretary of War bowed to a British request to have the Red Cross charge), but the parallels between holding a grudge for the perception of being treated poorly coming out of combat, and being asked in peacetime to pay for a previously free service, are weak.

My Dad, a (peacetime) Marine Lieutenant, had a Sergeant who was livid about being asked by the Red Cross volunteers to pay for coffee on his return trip from the Korean war in the early 50s. That left a lasting impression my Dad, who's saying on that was, "A Marine Never forgets." He never supported the Red Cross, though he was hardly stingy when it came to paying for things he thought deserved to be paid for, and that included accepting raised prices.

There's an element of moral indignation in the story that's missing from "Oh, snap, this used to be free and now I have to pay for it. That sucks."
Agreed. This is one thing the chromebook pixel got absolutely right: the resolution, and the 3:2 aspect ratio. Wish more devs would speak up against these useless 16:9 displays that this Engadget reviewer bemoans.
Stop calling all high-dpi displays Retina. I'm on Nexus4 and message at the bottom of your page says "Retina Display @1.5".
I agree - where on earth IS this mysterious option the internet so fondly speaks of?!

edit: nvm, its in the feedly preferences. Not Chromes. Awks.

Cats have a habit of playing with their food while their prey is still alive. If that cat was a human, then what they do would probably be classified as animal abuse.
Would that even be legal in the EU? “Upscale furniture store Restoration Hardware said that it had sent "your name, address and what you purchased" to seven other companies, including a data "cooperative" that allows retailers to pool data about customer transactions”

Not trying to undermine your point, but wanted to point out that animals aren't always as noble as you suggest. Ever seen a cat playing with a mouse?

>You won't want to disappoint someone who is depending on you. Believe me, in your case, this will probably make all the difference.

Here's another expectation to think about: In ten to twenty years, someone is going to run across this thread and this post and ask, "I wonder what happened to Stefan Kueng?", before running a search for "Stefan Kueng."

What do you want this person to find?

Yeah a big problem on iOS is that Apple use it to indicate history while everyone else basically uses it for a sidebar.

Though I kinda blame apple here as they seemed to have started to introduce this after the sidebar use got a foothold so they aren't making it easier.
He's referring to web apps that are embedded inside a native wrapper. UIWebViews don't use the more performant Nitro JS engine.
No, neither time. You do get a certain number for free per license so neither of those were actually out of pocket.

You might want to share which town you are in and what other places you are willing to relocate.

Also when you say mobile, is it iOS or Android or? Adding a link to your resume/blog here might help you get some opportunities from this forum itself
Due to security concerns, JIT (also known as "Nitro" in iOS parlance) is disabled for UIWebViews, but is enabled in the browser itself. I assume that is where this is coming from.
Towards creating a perfect international flight search experience on the iPhone
Of course web apps aren't ever going to be as fast as a native application

They can be pretty close because web apps are ultimately just duct tape over native code. Further I doubt Apple's lack of JIT for app-contained webviews has any material effect: JavaScript performance is grossly overconsidered, when most of the performance issues are DOM/layout problems (e.g. scrolling long lists).

LinkedIn to this day remain the perfect example of how to build a straight-up HTML5 mobile app that performs beautifully.

After making a big show about their web-based mobile app, LinkedIn started recanting and replacing major components of their app with native code, so they aren't the best example.

But ultimately a lot of the people who cheerlead these sorts of discussions don't realize how little it has to do with what they do, because these people are talking about optimizing those final few percentages.

Anecdote time, but I was involved with a team of 6 devs making some basic fund reporting tools when a breathless product manager started talking about how we should build iOS and Android apps because someone had told them about LinkedIn's pronouncement that their "power users" preferred their native rebuild. A tiny, grossly underequipped team that nonetheless managed to make a pretty kick-ass web app that actually worked great on pretty much any device people could have (including rich graphics)...yeah, fire up the iOS team to divert resources on a native app... It is nonsense.

If you have a software group large enough that you can start optimizing for those edge cases (e.g. scroll a massive list of contacts) where the web apps suffer, then of course you should do it. But for the vast majority of teams simply making a cross-platform web app gets you 98% of the way there.
We don't need a situation where everything is either a market, or not a market. For example we could have a government standardised healthcare product that is sensibly funded (eg taxation). But, and very importantly, not preclude others from providing that product or different products via any funding model they want.

For example you get this with BUPA in the UK - you pay extra and get quicker services plus more luxurious accommodation on hospitalization. Or a private organisation could provide services over night to the government (eg get a CT scan at 3am for cheap - the government could give people a paid incentive to take that instead of using daytime services).

It would be really great if there was a baseline service - eg you know that if you get a broken arm or cancer you would be sensibly taken care of, but beyond that a great flowering of experimentation (which markets do) in how things are provided and how they are paid for.
Does anyone know any models using stochastic control to model this effect?
I guess he's talking about javascript JIT being enabled in Mobile Safari, while not being enabled for apps using UIWebView.
I like how they freak out about the services government did cut, but fail to notice that things like air force one, white house chefs, and other luxuries that cost millions of dollars, enjoyed by a few elite, are still in full swing.

The services they do cut, are the things they feel will extort the most people through emotional response, nothing close to the first things that could have been cut.

Weekly Digest 5 - The most interesting links from .NET community
There are lots of places where corporate manipulation of the media bother me, but the front page of Reddit just isn't that high on my list.

What's there now? Among other things, there's a cartoon image of a man saying "It's locked." A picture of Keira Knightley, with an atheism/theism quote. A dog catching a piece of cheese. A picture of two shirtless guys jumping around in a hotel room. The top link points to an article with content that does actually seem to be corrupted by corporate manipulation (it could be read as an advert for Lockheed-Martin). However, the article itself is on Reuters, so Reddit is just acting as a low-quality aggregator site at that point.

In short, it's hard for me to take the front page of Reddit seriously as a "media" outlet. While I do find some subreddits interesting and informative, it's not clear how the quality of the front page would somehow get dragged down by a few professionally-produced marketing messages.

Another, probably larger one, is abortion. Otherwise progressive, considerate people rationalizing that it's alright to kill people just because they're not born yet. It's generally inconsistent with the other positions people who support abortion take.
It's the tragically hip syndrome, people only like companies that it gives them a social advantage to like and tell people about. In other words, obscure indie startups from Portland are more likable than global behemoths... Justin Bieber may be more profitable, but I get more street cred for telling you about Brainstorm http://brainstormbrainstorm.bandcamp.com/

The social economy of startup marketing is almost an exact parallel to that of independent music...
Creating a common UI across all mobile platforms is a big challenge as well and you mention the main points in your post. Your "one-size-fits-all" UI will look a little alien on every platform because its made to fit all of them at the same time.

Personally id use Xamarins excellent C# tools to build the core of the app multiplatform and then utilize the native APIs to build platform specific UIs. I dont think this approach is alot more/less work than making your webApp work with all platforms and resolutions, but in the end you have a native experience on all of them.
Optimizing Elevators
Sure it is. But why the need for secrecy if everything is on the up and up? If all companies have a similar demographic makeup it's probably an indication that indeed people are being hired on merit. However if some companies deviate from the norms there might be more to it.
I would liken it more to car crash/snuff type videos than child porn. People may get some shock value from them but it's doubtful that there are people deliberately setting up car accidents in order to get youtube hits.

I imagine that the market of people willing to pay money to watch a cow be abused is significantly smaller than the market for child porn.
I experienced that too.
"So whether Redditors know it or not, there is a now a big 'deceive me' sign on their back. And marketers are going to try to take advantage of it."

I just completed 13 months of being a vegetarian. I wanted to convert since 10 years prior to that, but couldn't get myself to do it because I grew up eating meat as a treat once to twice a week. It got progressively worse after I moved to the states as I started eating it three times a day and expanded from Chicken to all other red meats.I loved it!

Fast forward to last year and we were having a baby and that's when it struck me - Animals often watch their family being slaughtered. The young ones before they're even allowed to walk. They scream all along. They're mistreated extremely inhumanely and the people handling them - let's just say there's a special place in hell for them! I NEVER watched a single video until I had converted and people kept asking me if I saw any videos....they're horrible!

We grow up being masked from how animals are killed. If you can't even watch your meat being slaughtered, you shouldn't be eating it! Luckily, we're raising our child a vegetarian. We've found great vegetarian alternatives and yes they don't taste anywhere as great as a steak or smoked ribs, but they're still very very close and I think I can make that sacrifice because I don't ever want to see another animal deliberately hurt because of me or my family. I truly hope our society can make the necessary changes to treat animals humanely. Granted, there's no humane way to kill anyone, but I'm sure there's a quick/painless way to do it.

I'm not trying to change anyone. I just wanted to share my story.

He might start eating meat eventually when he grow up. I don't always follow my parents rule or tradition when I grow up.
Without wishing to get into that whole debate, abortion is something that is fairly well discussed here in the UK and as far as I can tell even more so in the US. Most people tend to have some opinion on it.

Animal rights seems to be something that even people who often have strong opinions tend not to discuss.
Congrats, Aihui!
Earthlings is an animal snuff film. Why the hell would you recommend to anyone such a horrid viewing experience??
Do you think abortion is wrong from the moment of conception? I think a zygote is clearly incapable of experiencing suffering, just like an animal clearly is capable.

There are a great many high schools that supposedly teach foreign languages. Very few (none that I've seen) of them produce anything remotely like this. In fact, there are many university graduate native speakers of English who can't write as well as sondh. This is something truly extraordinary and it makes me want to learn more about Vietnam.

Thanks. Glad to hear.
there are alot of apps that are essentially a webview component showing some website and they still send you push notifications etc. (eg. the old HTML5 facebook app)

This is not about App-Store vs Web distribution, its about real Apps and their underlying tech.
I'm in the same boat. I became vegan a few years ago for purely health reasons. Now in the last couple of months I'm starting to become more of a morally conscious vegetarian and think that the way factory farmed meat is slaughtered is just wrong. But there's where I stop. I still question the moral difference between killing plants or microscopic organisms and that of organisms in the animal kingdom. So basically if you kill and prepare the animal yourself that's fine, just so long as its done in a way to minimize suffering.
Usually one or two characters per Chinese word, two characters being much more common for anything other than simple words. More than two characters is not unheard of for less commonly used words.
It's not, but how often do you see a news source link to the raw data?
This post does not describe the typical school in Vietnam. Unless it has dramatically changed over the last 6 years, last I recall, the most programming was taught in high school was some Hello world and how to use loops. Having said that, I was selected (via an MS Excel test) into a "gifted" team since 8th grade that was trained algorithmic programming to compete with other school districts. But that's not typical and is in no way the regular ciriculum.
There is a difference between open sourcing a product and releasing it through multiple channels as binaries. I do not think the latter is in the best interest of the developer.

Well, then we shouldn't have an income tax at all then.

If the rich aren't paying enough in taxes already, and the tax burden on the lower and middle class is already crushing them, then cutting their taxes means they will have more money to spend, which this guy says will create more jobs.

I think we can go one better though, if the rich are getting more money from increased consumer demand, then they are going to raise wages so that they can increase demand even more.

Why stop there? Cut taxes on the rich too, now they have doubled their profits, but why settle for that when they can raise their wages even higher, increasing even more demand on their products, creating even more jobs.

I wonder how many people I lost the moment I mentioned cutting taxes for the rich. I wonder how anyone can think its reasonable for the government to own you for x% (whatever tax bracket your in) of the time you work.
Reddit has traditionally been left in its political thinking and the left traditionally disagree with the current political direction in Israel.

Just like you attempt to denegrate my comment by suggesting Im a conspiracy theorist, so too do many people on reddit find their comments subjected to a barrage of downvotes or whimsical retorts for posting something that may be construed as pro-palestinian or anti-israel.

I mean look at your comment as an example. I wrote about the obvious nature of comment and post manipulation on reddit and you instead try to shift the attention towards Palestine and Israel, selectively quoting my post to construe.. something unnecessary.
I don't think it's a concern. The investors were out there all along, she just had to find them. Talking about efficient/inefficiency doesn't make much sense here.

It does not look simple enough with all the >>> characters.

If you are not familiar with the python shell, I am not sure that you will be able to understand which lines are commands and which lines are results. There must be a better way to do this.

More code examples would also be a welcome change IMHO.
There is some evidence for sure. For example, iPad Safari doesn't allow full-screen mode, nor implements fullscreen API as per standards. Another browser on the iPad (Dolphin) supports it interestingly.

Support for ordinary CSS properties like z-index, position:fixed and iframe is pathetic. Some of the things that I can recall now. UIWebView takes it to another level of pain altogether.

>the parallels between holding a grudge for the perception of being treated poorly coming out of combat, and being asked in peacetime to pay for a previously free service, are weak

That was my thought exactly.

I think the main difference between the two scenarios is competition. There is only one Red Cross, but for most apps out there, there are likely a few others that do almost exactly the same thing. So, if one starts charging, you can decide to either switch to a different, free alternative, or you can decide to pay for the app.

Being able to even make that decision is empowering (so what if donuts cost money? muffins are still free!). In the Red Cross's case, there was no choice; the soldiers had no power: you either pay for a donut, or you get nothing.
