That flag only exists in the very newest JellyBean MR1 release (API level 17). The best they can do is set it if the user is running an Android device at 4.2 and higher, which is a VERY small minority* of all Android devices right now. Until they are willing to limit the app to devices running Android 4.2 and above (and there is no way anyone would do this right now, it would be commercial suicide) the easy escape hatch remains.

I'm afraid that article is not accurate at all. When reading something about SUNY if it mentions an IT decision being made system wide it's most likely inaccurate bullshit. Nearly every campus has it's own disjoint IT and outside of strong suggestions and price incentives each campus can make it's own choices.

Examples: Oracle is effectively "free" for campuses so why not use that? And using something like Banner or Blackboard lets you ride on existing contracts and share dedicated resource centers. But it's not mandated and there are non-Blackboard campuses (as an example).

There is no Office 365 global movement or mandate in SUNY. It's simply one of two choices IF one decides to use them. It just means each campus doesn't have to bother putting together their own contract as SUNY central took care of it already.
Please read my comment again. You rant about cholesterol. Cholesterol is an example I give of advice that has changed. You appear to misunderstand that very simple point I made.

> Low fat diets have been advocated for decades now without a word given to what the fat was replaced with, because the fat was considered So Obviously Bad it didn't matter, anything was better.

No, this is wrong. Calm dieticians have been suggesting that people cut down fats, but not replace those with weird sugar-foods. You'll be able to point to very many untrained, unscientific, 'clinical nutritionists' who give weird advice. But I've already said that cranks exist and have always given weird advice.

Salt is still harmful, btw.

> The dietary consensus is in fact undergoing significant change

It really really isn't.

"Don't eat too much. Eat less red meat; eat more fruit and vegetables. Reduce the amount of fats, sugars, and salt that you eat. Reduce the amount of processed foods (especially some processed meats). Try to eat more fresh food."

That's been the consistent message for many many years now.
>Money wise, it's good since it saves them a lot of money in the long term,

I know that's what the article says, but I'm wondering if they truly put Google Apps up against Office 365 which would be an apples-to-apples comparison? It seems more like they put Google Apps up against an on-premises Exchange + locally installed productivity software suite which is not a good comparison

Microsoft has actually been forced by their competitors (especially Google) in offering a competing offering by way of Office 365. You can have hosted Exchange for $4 per user per month. It's been in production for years, and in the last year has really worked well for my organization.
Thanks, for both the original and the fix.

Etiquette varies by region. I'm in San Francisco, and I do business development for a living, which means I talk to a lot of people. I'd say these rules are true for all of the US.

It's totally normal to ask where people work. In fact, it's outright good to do. As you meet more people, you'll find odd coincidences, like someone you just met works with a good friend of yours. Things like this will help build your network, and that's a good thing, especially as you look for a job. And don't forget to maintain your network once you've gotten the job!

As an example: "Hey, how's it going?"; "What brings you here"; "Oh cool, do you use this at work?"; "What company do you work with?"; and you're there in 4 sentences.
Indeed, the old Irish diet of milk and potatoes was pretty darn healthy. If you're trying to eat healthily, cheaply, and with a reasonable cognitive load, it's hard to go wrong with eggs, milk, and potatoes. Poor people can do this. Eggs and milk get you all the important macrominerals and fat soluble vitamins and potatoes are nature's multivitamin/multimineral. Nothing else can really touch these for depth and breadth of essential nutrients:

http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/recipe/2864450/2

They scale well, so even if they're not the only things you eat, you're at least assured of not being acutely deficient of anything. Plus, it's easy to prepare lots of yummy things from them.

Now, if you're concerned with maximum longevity, you should try to add as many fruits and vegetables a day as you can to suck up phytonutrients/antioxidants.

Nice principles described. They are also mostly applied to front-end side. It's very sad that even PHP community now has frameworks with good design principles in a core, but JS community do not.
I've heard DBA complain that many programmers see data as not all that important: that the data simply exists to run the program. This obviously not the case in any serious real-life environments, but I think it's the sort of attitude that many NoSQL supporters have.

Isn't one guy working alone for 6 years how Fermat's Last Theorem got solved?

I'm not a help desk. I'm using the same software these other people are using in an environment swamped with office documents.

We write memoranda and instructions, we make PowerPoint briefings, we use scads and scads of spreadsheets, and although I personally use and admire PivotTables, most don't.

Even the famous "Access database that underlies the operation" is very rarely to be found around here. The only thing I've ever seen an Access database behind around here (besides the ones I personally use) are for FITREP processing in the Navy.

Perhaps surprisingly, much of the stuff you'd use "advanced spreadsheets as database" for end up being run by actual databases with website frontends around here, which makes office software even less essential; just make the ad-hoc query on the web page and export to Excel and you're done.
I'm personally rather sensitive to unsolicited phone calls because they are both interruptive and unexpected. There are only a few windows in my day when I would be interested in talking to someone on the phone, and if I need to communicate with someone outside of those windows of availability I generally need to take some special actions to make myself available.

I have made it a point to put myself on the national Do Not Call registry, so I know that any phone calls I would receive during the day are generally important enough to justify the interruption and I will try to answer rather than let it go to voicemail.

You know that junk mail you'll get sometimes that has no sender information, but is made to look in some way important or personal? Maybe it looks like a bill, or it's in a greeting card envelope. So you have to open it up to find out what's in there, and lo and behold it's an offer for 50% off six months of DirecTV and three months of free HBO to boot. Maybe it's just me, but that's the sort of thing that drives me crazy, and I look at those sorts of phone calls the same way.

I've done many identity provider installs, google apps always goes great, office 365, not so much. MS requires them to have adfs which is basically a horrible offering (want to get rid of exchange, here, install all of these adfs servers on premise). Don't get me started.
I agree founders need to get together to talk about what isn't going well more often. Yishan Wong, CEO of Reddit, came into 500 Startups once and talked about what he called "CEO therapy," where two CEOs get together for lunch or drinks and just talk about what's going wrong. What Wil talks about here, is sort of a founder therapy session, and I think it's a good idea.

The fact that Debian has a "task" for LAMP is really a reflection of how simple the architecture is: you can press a button to install LAMP and then you can install any one of the applications I mentioned on top of it. LAMP is not a "default" by any means, it's just something easy to stick in the package manager, something that a lot of people use.

Sure, you can also press a button to install Rails or Django, but those are more self-contained and don't need to be packaged separately as tasks.

The reason LAMP is mentioned as important is because a lot of people do use it and do depend on it. In an ideal world, every application would work on Debian. But with finite resources, you make a list of the things you want to test the most.
That's more along the lines what I do now with my friends who are still in universities who have access to documents behind a paywall I am interested in reading.

I wish it was scalable because I think going to a website,posting a request for an article behind a pay wall to university students who then will download the file for free and send you the file would help open doors between the academic world and the world everyone else lives in.

"Apple's and Microsoft's business transactions(except for Bing) are upfront. You pay us this much money and you get this service. Google's is a more subtle "use this free service and we'll track your behavior and try to profit off it, if not we'll kill it"."

I read your site and your system sounds very promising as I said in my previous post. It seems like you've identified some of the key problems with earlier noSQL implementations and that you're trying to solve them. Schema free was always a feature I could understand but "no joins" always sounded like an anti-feature to me. The promise of consistency and automatic sharding / replication is very nice but I'll remain skeptical until I hear about some production implementations.
Yes, we do--But it's not because we're looking for business ideas, it's more for us setting development priorities. I know it's been awhile since announced, but this stuff turns out to be kind of tricky to do right. We'll open it up soon enough, hopefully before a competitor gets a product out...

I would say there's a significant difference in this scenario between calling a customer company and a customer individual. Your article painted the picture of calling an individual named "Bob", not "the receptionist of Bob's Law LLC". I think the practice would be perfectly acceptable in the latter case.

The free rider problem would probably come in to play and make that impractical. But with two, both pilots must pedal or the craft would experience a gentle decent to the ground.
Another option would be to simply ask someone when canceling why they're canceling. It's not as conversational as a phone call, but you can get juicy bits of info like...

"Out of business. Too little, too late..."

"Working on-site with corporate clients for foreseeable future, so using their project management software."

"Not integrated with zapier or basecamp."

...Which I would not have been able to get just by seeing so-and-so canceled. Very rarely does anyone Christmas-tree the textarea, and it literally takes a few minutes to add to your "Close Account" page.

(Takeaways for future planning: Help low tier accounts stay in business, e.g. education; Whitepaper on convincing your clients to use Planscope; Think about Zapier/Basecamp integration)
It's a great article indeed, nice to see a framework built around a fresh concept. My only complain is that people like me, who were disconnected from PHP community for quite awhile, would like to hear more about base principles of Nooku, use-cases where it performs best, and so on without rushing to technical details so early.
If I click on the source tab, I want to see the source.

Great, so there's one extra click to get to it. And even that is only because we consciously chose to use Google Code to serve as the "project/community home" because GitHub is lousy at serving as that. Of course, all this was setup before GitHub Pages, IIRC. We could look into scrapping the Google Code presence now, probably, but it's a fairly low priority relative to about a bazillion other things.

GitHub gets this right. Google just presents you with boilerplate garbage.

To be fair to Google Code, they do support git, and keeping a reference to Subversion was a conscious decision that we made. You may hate Subversion with a passion, but not everybody does.

Anyway, the point is, with GitHub, by default, ALL you get is "the source tab". But there's a lot more to a project than just source code.

... GitHub are examples of how to organize the user experience better.

GitHub may be better from strictly a "how to get my hands on the source" perspective, but I think it's very weak from the "How do I get an overview of the project and the community as a whole" perspective.
It's a tough challenge and I don't know of any such (digital) forums. StackExchange does have a chat channel, but last time I visited I saw mostly crickets chirping.

At this point, guns in the US are mainly "used" for self-defense; hunting has gotten to be a very low percentage, between 14-17% from what I've read in the last 2 years. And guns are used about 2.25 million times a year in self-defense, which I consider to meet the standard of "extreme usefulness".

But as long as we're talking automobiles, the absolute number of fatal gun accidents per year is around 600 (down a quarter during the same period the US population and number of guns owner increased by ~50%). The early estimate for 2012 car accident fatalities is 34,080 (http://www.nhtsa.gov/NCSA). Guns turn out to be a lot easier to use safely.

Interesting point you bring up around international payments - to move slightly off topic for a minute - we have an issue whereby we are a UK based company yet 75% of our paying (recurring) customers are from the US. We have payment declines each day from our US customers and it is often because their payments have been declined by the "issuing bank" or at least that's what Paypal tells us. We're just about to move to Braintree payments but wanted to see whether in your experience (or anyone else for that matter) when you process payments from overseas do you see declines or is this more of a Paypal issue which should be resolved if we moved to Braintree / other payment solution ?
Ken Robinson: How to escape education's death valley (video)
Interesting study, I hadn't seen that one. I think one of the problematic points is this though: "...the chances of winning prizes increased with continuous time abstinent." They're literally upping the "dosage" over time. Also, the variability is in the chance of receiving a reward or not. I think that's a crucial element: rewards work well when they're not guaranteed. My final observation regarding the study is that it only lasted 12 weeks. I'd be worried that the reward group might have a higher percentage of post-program relapse than the non-reward group, as there is significant literature behind the idea that once rewards are stopped the desired behavior stops as well.

I appreciate the study! Always interested in reading more about human behavior.

I used to give them one attempt at education as to why software development isn't off-the-shelf if it seemed reasonable that they might simply be new to that sort of project. In practice, though, it was almost always the case that they were simply being unrealistic and hoping to find someone new / desperate who would give them more than what they paid for.

Your post, I don't know why, has me in figurative tears. This feels like someone 'gets' what's happening... and to think that I had no idea what I was feeling for all this time was categorized as depression. I hate to say this because it sounds fake and silly, but you know when people say it 'clicks' and they feel like there's a sudden "light"? That's exactly how I felt after reading your post. Don't ask me why, because I don't know.

Calorie dense food "hiding" in salad needs small amount of caution.

So long as you're aware of what you're eating it's fine.

If you can't understand why you're still 17 stone you might want to look at whether you're having a blue cheese dressing on a salad but counting that snack as 0 calories, which is something a surprising number of people do. They have their 3 meals, which come to something like 2,000 kCal per day, but they don't count all the other snacks they eat.

Satiety is important, but it's still calories in vs calories out.
I just got here in passing, and I have to admit I'm kind on the side of ctdonath here. Currently, I'm working 3 jobs (one is 6 hours a day, the other two are two projects I'm working on that are 2-4 hours a day, total.) In addition to this, I'm finishing my PhD (or trying, time is scarce lately) but I still find the 10-15 minutes it takes to open the gas stove and prepare some sauteed vegetables, the 10 minutes it takes to prepare a lettuce and lots-o-more-things salad, or the 5 minutes it takes to prepare crispy bacon.

The "cooking for hours" mentality is bullshit. With the rest of your points I can agree (as well as I agree with ctdonath's points,) since there is no universal truth in what people are doing with their time, and how much they can endure. But with the waste of time cooking takes, I just can't. It's false. I've cooked 3 course meals for 8 people on special occasions (so it's more elaborate than usual) and only in this case it took me more than 30 minutes to do it. It was 1h30. Of course this may seem like a lot, but I don't do custard everyday and it takes quite a long time.
