Instacart isn't but Fresh Direct is and is honestly usually cheaper, even with delivery fees, than it would be buying from the local grocery store. And since the city doesn't have many regular grocery stores -- in Brooklyn you have some of the various NSA (National Supermarket Association) stores, but frankly most of them suck. If you ARE lucky enough to live near a Trader Joe's (and keep in mind, you'll need to be in walking distance or be willing to take the subway with your bags), prepare for lines from hell.

I wouldn't go to Costco without a car -- and since you've really only got Long Island City, the one in Brooklyn Heights and the one on 117th Street, traffic is going to SUCK.

To that end, I'm not even sure if a thing like Instacart would work with NYC because most of our grocery stores -- aside from Walgreens/Duane Reade and CVS are local bodegas that you're lucky if they take credit cards, let alone have a consistent inventory system. In the suburbs like Long Island or maybe parts of Staten Island, but not in Brooklyn or in Manhattan (can't speak for the other 2 boroughs but I assume Queens and the Bronx would be hard too).

Anyway, long comment short -- Fresh Direct. Oh, and ZocDoc for finding a doctor. Those are the two startups (aside from Seamless and GrubHub) that totally made my first two years in NYC.

My site gets about 15,000 spam submissions a month. You are able to make a submission without being logged in but you have to signup as soon as you do for it to be published. Spammers don't do this, so the spam doesn't get published, yet they continue on regardless.

I also get spam signups who just signup for an account, some of the more sophisticated accounts will verify their email address but then they don't do anything. Very few ever come back again (if they do within a certain period of time their IP block gets extended).

For some reason, no spammer has ever put these two scenarios together to successfully spam my site. I wonder how they found it and why they continue to try, surely if you notice your spamming isn't working, you take the site off your list, or if you a really determined, try a bit harder.

Edit: What has annoyed me is, as soon as I became aggressive at tackling the spam (even though none ever got published) by 403'ing their IP's, they started spamming other sites with links to mine. Even with my explanations to Google about how it is not my doing, my site has been penalised, so I guess they win that way.
It looks like this factors out to 4,351,250,624 unique comments.
yah it totally is. It's cheaper than most of the supermarkets too and stuff is fresh (per the name). Plus they'll carry your groceries up the stairs for you, which is great if you're on a third-floor walk-up during the summer.

I lift 5 times a week, with another day of cardio and I'm in my mid 30's. My life is pretty good.

Based on what information? Many popular lifting schedules call for 5 days on and 2 off per week. I think your projecting your own personal experiences here.
I agree that it's mainly just the usual incompetence / laziness / sensationalism / narrative bandwagon jumping we see in all aspects of press coverage magnified by Apple's increased prominence, but there's also some kind of weird press interest multiplier effect possessed by Apple.

If I were an Apple shareholder that statement from Cook would make me feel worse. "iPhone sales are up over a year ago" or something concise, factual, and upon which I could base a lawsuit if it turned out to be untrue would be great. What he gave was a non-response that would make Donald Rumsfeld proud.
Thanks you guys for the tip!

Can the h264 codec be used to stream audio, specifically MP3s?
I'm curious of the rest of the architecture. Each benchmark needs to be tested separately, as ZFS is likely caching the reads in the ARC. We also need a benchmark of ZFS without compression enabled.

However, we're not showing how bad ext3 is, but that the end result still shows the stellar performance, compression or not.
I wish I could find this blog post now, but it seems to have disappeared... but there's one by Bob Parsons (of GoDaddy fame) that I found very influential some time ago. It goes something like (paraphrased) "Don't be afraid to enter a crowded market - just be better than everybody else".

Now, this may not always be good (or even useful) advice, but I think it applies in many contexts. Much like the advice of the author of TFA. Having competitors isn't a horrible thing, if you can just find a way to be better than them. Whether it's better marketing, better sales, better products, better business model, whatever... find a way to be better than the other guys and you at least have a shot.
... and you found this NOW ? :P
My impression was that TokuDB is a single-server database, as a backend for MySQL. In that case it wouldn't be a direct competitor to HBase and Cassandra, both of which you normally wouldn't even consider unless you expect to have a cluster of machines.

You'd arguably be taking a risk by choosing a centralized database for write-heavy applications, which are the hardest to scale, but I could see it as a good fit for the applications where people currently use sharded MySQL.
Many users are also "once bitten, twice shy" about using facebook apps at all. A lot of people have trouble telling the difference between a simple facebook oauth login and a full-fledged spammy app, and are reluctant to use the former for fear that it will turn out to be the latter.
The law defining 'weapons of mass destruction' was written in 1994, but does in fact reference pretty much any 'destructive device.' That latter term was first defined in 1968, and includes things like hand grenades or things with as little as a quarter-ounce of explosive material.

The 'mass' part reflects the principle of damage radiating outward from the origin and affecting whoever/whatever happens to be in proximity, as opposed to the more targeted destruction caused by a bullet or handheld weapon. Of course you could kill multiple people with a handheld weapon or (rarely) hit several people with a single bullet, but in general such attacks involve one-on-one interactions even if there is a series of them in rapid order, as with automatic gunfire. hitting multiple individuals from a single shot or manual attack is considered a fluke.

See notes on http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2332a and http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/921

Note that the law is not necessarily drafted to reflect the actual probability of injury, but to dissuade any use of the method; explosive, chemical, biological and radioactive attacks are by nature indiscriminate. That's considered much worse than an attack on a particular individual (you could launch an indiscriminate attack by, say, firing a gun into a crowd. But that lack of care about who you hit would itself attract a higher sentence). Furthermore, it radiates temporally; if you plant a device and then drop dead of a heart attack, the device remains dangerous even though you are no longer capable of forming criminal intent. It presents risk from when it's emplaced to when it has finished releasing, a period which could last years. In similar fashion, using a bomb or poison to kill someone automatically makes the offense into Murder in the First Degree, negating defenses like 'crime of passion' or 'heat of the moment'.
If you're going that far, why not reduce it to zero words?
AINO: Agile in Name Only
Because Costco is a paid membership service. I assume reselling is against their membership agreement. It'd be difficult to enforce, especially on the scale they probably operate at, but still.

EDIT: It's not. I somehow assumed it would be. Interesting to know it isn't.
Maybe Windows isn't that pleasant to work on, but not in any of the ways that he was describing. Windows has always had very stable APIs. The basic Win32 APIs have remained stable and constant for an insanely long period of time; there was plenty of churn in what was the recommended way to write an app (Win32 -> MFC -> .NET), but those are essentially higher levels and it seems that they've remained stable as well.

It seems like Windows RT is the first time they've actually broken backwards binary compatibility isn't it?
Is salary transparency definitely a great thing for companies? I've been told that in law firms (where all non-partner position salaries are revealed) this causes a race to the bottom and is not good for employees.
The first and obvious concern might be over using Costco's name.
Everyone here talking about how this definition is stupid is seriously missing the point. Just because the legal use of a term doesn't fit in with your conception of what a WMD is doesn't make it a stupid definition. I think it's clear that the federal government just wanted a separate criminal category for explosives and other extremely hazardous materials (chemical and biological).

Seriously, this should not be the first time that some of you guys have encountered a legal term that doesn't match up with the colloquial sense of the term.

And we shouldn't be predicating crimes on the competence of their perpetrators - their pressure cooker bombs did injure more than a hundred people. Had they engineered it optimally, they likely could have killed tens of more people.
I have seen similar advantages comparing XFS to ZFS+compression on a local server (Centos 6.3, ZFS on Linux 0.61).

Using a 2 disk striped volume for PostgreSQL 9.2, I get an average of 2.5X compression (as reported by ZFS), and a 1.5 to 2X time reduction in database restores (single threaded or 8 jobs in parallel).

Given this development box has relatively slow 7200 RPM disks, the tradeoff of more CPU time for less disk transfer makes sense.

Edit: My use case is an OLAP server. I can't state how the tradeoffs affect OLTP performance.
It could be true, it's just poor writing. LG had declining profits, Apple is still buying screens in some quantity. The first article on mentions tablet screens, the second article groups both ipad and iphone screens. This supplier might be seeing an increase in ipad screens and a decrease in iphone screens.

In other words, not enough information in either snippet on DF.
What exactly is your point here? You've essentially said nothing at all.
One tip which I didn't see: set an alarm for going to bed, not waking up. You should be able to wake naturally, but artificial lighting changes your perception of when you should go to sleep, shifting you from a naturally 23-hour circadian rhythm to a 25-hour one.

So just set an alarm for 11pm, and when you hear it, immediately stop what you're doing, save any open documents, turn the TV or computer off. The next 30 minutes are for brushing teeth, settling into bed, and preparing for the following morning only. By then you should be settling into a good night's sleep.

Since Carmen Ortiz will be his prosecutor, I'm not surprised by this. She seems to identify someone's crime, then look for an order of magnitude worse charge, and go with that. It seems to be her style of prosecution.

As a side note, a collection of academic papers relating Asperger syndrome to sci/tech:

http://www.mendeley.com/groups/519371/asperger-syndrome-and-... (and also a collection of various non-scientific links: http://delicious.com/stared/asperger)

But in short - since the article "The Geek Syndrome" on Wired (http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/9.12/aspergers_pr.html) it's hardly surprising that hi-tech can attract (mildly) autistic people. For a more scientific stance on that topic, see e.g.:

The argument isn't that the criminal justice system (in this particular case) is inadequate for conviction but that actionable intelligence might be gleaned by following the rules regarding interrogation designed for warfare that wouldn't otherwise be accessible via regular criminal justice procedures.
The basic jpeg-like functionality has been widely available for a while. And as in this case, high traffic websites (often Google's own) that are already re-processing millions of photos and/or images and Chrome are the obvious first places to get a foothold, long before anyone would think about actually editing a webp by hand in photoshop.

OP mentions that earbuds (plugs) are one of the best things he's done to improve sleep. Has anyone out there reviewed a few different brands of earplugs?

>but that's not the sort of grass root support that feeds a living artistic community.

When you get some artists worthy of grassroots support, trust me, it'll come. Believe it or not, I came to SF 6 years ago to become a writer. It took me less than a year to realize that most of the writers in SF live in denial and are delusional. They believe the writing community here is as great as LA and NY and the only reason they can't get published is because of the evil, corporate publishing companies. This type of attitude is typical for all walks of life in SF, too, which is one of the reasons it will never regain the artistic prominence it had in the 60's. SF has yet to move past its counter-culture roots, despite the fact the rest of the country already has. That makes everything holding on to the old message feel dated and stale. Dated and stale do not make for good art.

>This story isn't about The Grove, it is about the tragedy of gentrification.

Gentrification isn't the real tragedy, here. It's complacency. Manhattan remains THE center of art and culture in America, despite several decades of heavy gentrification and a staggeringly high cost of living that SF has only recently been able to match. What's your excuse, again? They're closing your favorite late night hangout? Find another.
They're free to resell anything they manage to buy from Costco, but first they have to buy it. To buy it, they must have a valid Costco membership. Looking over the membership agreement, Costco reserves the right to terminate a membership at any time, see page 14 of http://content.costco.com/Images/Content/Misc/PDF/09EX0308_S... , in the "Membership Cards and Fees" section. If they decide they don't like this, they've already got the verbiage to lock any given shopper out. (I do not know if they will or not, or if Instacart has a negotiated deal with Costco, which would be wise of them.)

Yes, there are grownups in charge of making such laws, and perhaps you might benefit from contemplating the principles behind such laws before projecting your understanding of a term onto the legislative language. 'Weapon of mass destruction' is a categorical definition, not a quantitative one. The quantitative aspect of the case will be reflected in the number of murder/battery charges.

How is the simpler API more "fragile"? It may lack some virtues (e.g. a paging interface) but how could it be more robust?

Also note that it exemplifies many of the virtues cited (ease of pre-generation, ease of caching, etc.) over the more complex option. Indeed, I'd suggest many API designers would prefer to offload busywork such as sorting to the client for anything other than very large datasets (you four core 3.2GHz CPU (a) is running idle, and (b) costs me, the API designer, nothing).

Consider that the simpler API is:
a) simpler to document
b) simpler to implement
c) simpler to consume
d) scales better

Note that every time the user changes sort order the complex API gets hit. The simpler API is out getting coffee and scoring with the sexy APIs from across the street.

How is it worse?

The vanishing personal site
But having poorly targeted ads very certainly delutes the brand value of Facebook ads. I feel like Facebook should be involved in making sure their ads are well targeted, because frankly, the more spammy ads I get (I got an ad for a bail bonds company last week?) the less I want to use FB and the less I admire their brand.
Where is the mention of the users?

Most people I know, myself included, barely tolerate facebook. Facebook is quickly becoming the platform of the middle-aged mom (because middle-aged dad is often lacking computer literacy skills) who wants to repost image macros that we've all seen on reddit three months ago.

old-gregg's point is valid. Since we didn't benchmark ZFS without compression we can't say for sure how much of the performance improvement is attributable to compression vs. just ZFS.

As far as AWS goes, we have noticed ephemeral disks connected to the same instance can exhibit fairly large performance differences, and attempted to control for that in our tests by reusing the same disk for each test run.
