I really wish they would weigh geographic location into their stats. I live in TN where around half that $99k average wage is the norm for CS grads, and that's considered a good salary. Cost of living is much lower here than in Silicon Valley, so it partially evens out. A country-wide average is really no help to anyone with such disparity.
Yes but, for example, full fat yoghurt won't hurt them and wouldn't fit the guidelines. The guidelines stupidly and unscientifically advocate for lowfat milk products which leave all the potentially dangerous aspects of dairy while taking out the good stuff. If the problem is marketing to kids who can't consent, let's address that separately!

> Tesla is exactly doing that. If you think that is a guaranteed failure, I take it you are short on their stock?

Relax, no need for accusations or jumping to conclusions. I think Tesla will be a terrific company and I look forward to owning one someday.

I just don't think it's reasonable to assume that just because Tesla can do it, everyone else can and should do it the same way. If you were Alan Mulally, CEO of Ford, would you do exactly what Tesla is doing? Would you close the 3k franchised dealerships and install manufacturer-owned ones instead? How would you finance that much real estate, inventory, and employees? Or would you close down a large portion of the dealers and go with fewer? How would you service the millions of Fords sold every year?
That's an interesting idea. Is Satiation/sateity easily measurable? Is it proportionally consistent among everyone, or do some people get satiated more by some foods than others?

I think the dealership model in general creates a bad experience for customers. I highly respect Apple for their single price policy. Rarely do any of their products go on sale. Outside of a few cashback, bundled item specials, or loopholes to avoid salestax, the price is the price. This saves me all the anxiety of needing to find a better deal online.

With cars, things are even worse. Having a multi-dealer and dealer inventory sales model necessarily creates a multi-price model. I think most consumers would be much happier knowing they got the best price possible without any extra work than dealing with all of the information asymmetry in buying a car.

Believing a company is guaranteed for failure and shorting a stock do not always go hand in hand.

They may grow using capital on hand which temporarily increases the stock price. They may have trouble with expansion as they move into new territories which is a long way away. Failure isn't always immediate.

Also "The Market Can Remain Irrational Longer Than You Can Remain Solvent"

The above is a general statement about company failure and shorting a stock. I personally believe that Tesla is the future of the car industry and it's likely to be a successful company for the foreseeable future.

There's a presentation of hers from what looks like last year that describes the hoops she's jumped through to try to get ROM dumps

There are videos of it around, it seems, from various conferences.
I don't really see why that would be significantly harder with flat files.
You'd have to be crazy to mix gluten free and vegan diets.
You missed two important pieces:

1) Contact list. Facebook IS the address book. And that's what people use it for.

2) Pictures. People like to creep their friends to see how they've changed over time, and to judge people.
Too narrow definition of what "design" is. Tip: it's not about "looks nice".
Ten people is an outpost, not a colony, but your point that we should also be working on impactor defense is well-taken. In fact, colonies along with impactor defense is an example of the concept of "defense in depth".
Looks like I didn't read this article, linked from an RSS feed.
The sale takes place online. The stores are just for showing the merchandise.

Just because you can look, doesn't mean you can buy, hence the workaround.
Yeah I think so. It wasn't comparing to Mercury though, just pointing out underwater probably isn't an oasis.
Craigslist and diligence. The only reason you should EVER go to a dealer is if you need financing and have bad credit. Aside from that, meet people, show interest in a vehicle, then negotiate (never try talking people down over the phone or by email - it's rude).
I kind of agree with you but that is not really true. The American constitution clearly makes the case for fundamental rights such as Freedom of Expression, among others.
This is pretty surprising that AT&T engineers were the ones to design the antennas.
It is usually vendors such as Nokia-Siemens, Alcaltel-Lucent or Ericsson that provide the equipment and that have the antenna/radio know-how while on the operator side the engineers there focus more on optimization and RF planning, rather then the design.
That's why facebook does small releases of beta features to gauge user feedback. They don't want to piss off lots of people at once. And whenever they make a large change to the settings, they make an equally large change to the UI so that people discuss the new look rather than the concerns over the settings.

They've become too smart to lose their place as #1.
I don't know much about SEO; is "over-optimized" just a euphemism for "spammy"?
Of course!

I'm sure 99.9% of parents, if properly educated, would agree that an overweight or obese child is a bad thing. They might not know what to do about it, and TV ads might turn out to be more powerful than parent's routine meal planning.

It might turn out that asking them to turn off the TV is impractical. Maybe telling them what to feed their kids is even worse. In terms of practical means to reduce obesity, most parents would not oppose limiting TV advertising to children.

Besides, the state is parents. No big deal.
Leeching 128GB would only take 6 hours at the speeds you describe. I would certainly hope that they don't cap you after a period that could be as short as 6 hours!
Just signed up, very pleasant site design/approach, curious to see how it will work out.
Excellent point. Furthermore, new foods can be developed that achieve better combinations of satiation and satiety, and other desired outcomes.

I think it's fair to say that the entire medical profession has in the past suffered from a tendency to convince people to maximize their health, rather than maximize the combination of their health, and whatever other outcomes people desire, such as eating tasty food or feeling satiated. This tendency is flawed because it is not consistent with what people want to do, and is always therefore an uphill battle.

As the field matures, this is definitely changing, but the discussion around nutrition shows there is still a long way to go.
Good design embodies good functionality. The two should go hand in hand.

You don't need your web hosting provider to look good on the backend as long as everything you need is there and fairly easily find-able (and that itself is good design). Doesn't matter if they provide an awesome service if you can't set it up and use it quickly and efficiently.

You also want your front-end consumer-facing application to look good, especially if you're trying to disrupt a market rather than create a new one.
Well, you know what I mean. Even if you had 1000, it would still look pretty bad for the billions of people living on Earth. And let's not talk about genetic diversity in a population of 1000, oh no, let's not talk about that.

"And I don't begrudge the companies who have structured their affairs wisely, optimally and legally."

This argument only works so well when hundreds of millions of dollars a year are paid by these companies to the people who make these laws...Seems a bit naive to overlook that and simply say "well as long as its legal I have no issues with it!"
exactly. If dealers are profitable today, then an auto company running the whole show can be just as profitable if not moreso.
Well, I'm actually outside of the LTE area, so I ran my test on 4G HSPA+.

GM sort of tested this approach with Saturn. Custom ordering online wasn't a reality then, but the no-haggle pricing and a generous (30 day?) no-questions-asked return policy were part of their approach, initially. Consumers generally liked the Saturn buying experience.
10 startup myths
The ROM is mask ROM inside the microcontroller and not directly accessible. At first she was only able to modify the content of an external EEPROM for keeping game state connected via I2C and emulate another external (mask) ROM - something like a game cartridge for extending the game - containing mostly images and a single byte triggering additional game logic connected via SPI. Then she found a way to trigger a jump into the LCD RAM by messing with the later ROM and she had already control over the LCD RAM content by modifying the images on that ROM. So finally she used this code execution ability to dump the mask ROM in the microcontroller. I hope I got it right.
>Read one on low carbs. Read one on low fat. Now this one.

I'm not convinced you did read the article. It actually mentions the previous health trends. This doesn't push any single health trend. So what exactly do you mean by:

>Now this one.

How does this article relate to the health fads over the years?
> It doesn't take a conspiracy, or especially evil actors... All it takes is millions of local optimizations to get us into the state we're in now

This is so true, not just in this situation, but in many others.
I never said it was risk free or easy, and hedge funds do sell covered calls. The point is there is a well known and understood asymmetry between the long and short options markets due to the capital needed to write options. Intuitively the reason there is alpha for selling options is likely at least in part that you are letting people with little capital access leverage.
Japan Starts to Recharge After Two Lost Economic Decades
My 4 year old son started playing Minecraft in creative mode when he was 3. He's become quite adept with the mouse and keyboard.

Here's a video of him building a train, ahem, minecart track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkYt3-kihNE

My husband wrote out a cheat-sheet for him to copy letter-by-letter into the command line to switch between creative and survival mode. He remains in creative mode except when he wants to use the crafting table.

I've tried introducing him to Scratch, however, since it is so word-based, it is quite difficult to teach to a non-reader. In Minecraft, even though he can't read, he can tell me what almost every piece of material is in his inventory.

Anyway, long story short, we're always looking for G-rated Minecraft Youtube videos to learn from.

My husband hosts a server world for us (and sometimes his cousins join us). I would love for him to have the opportunity to play Minecraft with kids his own age, but I don't know of any others, does your daughter play or is she just getting started with it?
Facebook deprecating checkins
Wow, COBOL. Twenty or so years ago as a teen it was my second programming language after learning GW-Basic. For some odd reason it was the language a local academy was using for it's intermediate and advanced classes, I ended up writing a video store management program, was pretty proud of that.

Not related to the article, just triggered some fun memories.
And WalMart's core strenghs are store management and discounting, while auto manufacturer's core competency is to build and market cars, not to deliver and operate dealerships.

JavaScript, CoffeeScript, Dart and TypeScript - A comparison
The best always end up being (IMO):
- listen to your body

- exercise some. doesn't have to be gym. even walking 30min a day is fine.

- eat fresh food rather than frozen or processed food (hint: it requires cooking)

- drink water, not soda or beer

- Keep things balanced. Ying & yang principle applies basically everywhere. Including food types, salting, sweetening, etc.

then you generally don't need to force diet upon you. you don't need medication. you don't need a "diet plan". you don't need to "hit the gym".
you don't need to make extra efforts that you'll revert in 3month.
you're also not going to get bulky or a skeleton. you're just going to get normal and healthy.

of course, all the above take some effort. and its true that it's harder to find fresh food or proper food in general in the US than elsewhere, actually.
The title is actually "When design doesn't matter", which is materially different than "Design doesn't matter".
I think you're overly focused on global economics.

H1B abuse presents local economic problems. Wages for programmers working in San Francisco are higher than wages for the same programmers in, say, Lexington, both are higher than China, and all are related to local cost of living.

If a company abuses H1Bs to import cheap programmers from China to San Francisco and keep paying them Chinese rates, San Francisco programmer wages are depressed and SF programmers are disadvantaged relative to the entire local San Francisco economy.

Note I keep saying "abuse". The problem people fear with H1Bs is that their nature opens them to abuse. Not abuse by the immigrant programmers, but abuse by the corporations employing them, which can use the conditions of the H1B program to essentially hold immigrant workers hostage in below-market-rate jobs.

I think you'll find that if you talk to programmers reasonably informed about the nature of H1B visas, most will have no general objection at all to programmers immigrating to the US from China, India, or anywhere else. Only to the particular circumstances of the H1B program, which break local market forces.
I've heard that the volume and weight of the food contributes more to the feeling of fullness than the caloric content.
Currently, the dealers buy the vehicle from the manufacturer, so the manufacturer isn't holding onto large amounts of inventory. I suppose it's possible to restructure the business to operate in a way that can take on the large inventory and long turnover, but probably not the current companies in their current forms.
There's also no reason to think Tesla will always operate this way. At some point, if they continue to grow, it is no longer practical to own and operate all the sales and service facilities.
God says...

16:15 In the light of the king's countenance is life; and his favour
is as a cloud of the latter rain.

16:16 How much better is it to get wisdom than gold! and to get
understanding rather to be chosen than silver! 16:17 The highway of
the upright is to depart from evil: he that keepeth his way preserveth
his soul.

16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a
fall.

16:19 Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to
divide the spoil with the proud.

16:20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso
trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.

16:21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of
the lips increaseth learning.

Sorry if I wasn't clear: there are laws that currently exist that protect franchises in almost every state. I'd love to see those laws eliminated or changed to encourage more competition between dealers to improve pricing and service. Companies like Tesla should absolutely be able to do what they'd like without having local protectionism kick into place.

There's a great story from NPR Planet Money that covers this: http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2013/02/12/171814201/episode-.... It's been a while since I've listened to it, but the tl;dr is that franchises are granted exclusivity to a geography, and manufacturers can't change the franchise terms without going to a review board that's basically controlled by the dealers. So if Chevrolet has a poorly-performing dealer, they can't threaten to take the franchise away, or can't put another dealerships in the same geography.

(ugh, replied to the wrong thread, moved the reply, and this is dead ... sorry)
It depends on many factors, from the objective to the subjective. Objectively the measurements would vary according to the people, eg: obese vs not obese, old vs young, ethnicity, dietary history, and so forth.

Subjectively it would vary according to cultural norms and personal opinions, for example.

Additionally people can be accustomed to certain foods regardless of such measurements.

There is some serious interest in diets like Ketogenic or Paleolithic, which espouse similar dietary requirements to what the parent suggested (eg: whole milk has significantly more fat than skim milk, as such they affect satiation and satiety differently from each-other).
Fibrous vegetables tend to be the lowest calories/highest satiation foods there are. I replace all the snacks I eat at work with carrot sticks recently, and I think might be losing weight without thinking about it much.

I'm not sure what any of this has to do with the math. You claim 128GB over a 50Mb connection. That's less than six hours of constant streaming. Unless you want to qualify it with "during the times AT&T actually provided reliable service," your numbers seem off. A lot.

The point is not defending gluten per se. This is defense of sane eating, not allowing fear mongering, and killing dieting fads.
Maybe we don't know what exact combination of foods is most healthy, but there are things we do know.

For instance, we know that carbohydrates consist of a ton of readily available energy. And if you eat more energy than you burn, you store the energy as fat. Bad? Maybe not, but it can easily get you to a bad state of health.

We also know that there are vitamins and minerals in leafy greens that we really do need. Since they are easy to eat and also contain fiber, yet are low in energy, they are very healthy.

My best advice is to pick up on these sorts of tidbits, not the latest diet/trend/fad.
Unfortunately the argument that in a free market, what maximizes profit is socially optimal, is not taught in schools, and alien to many people.

It doesn't help that in public debate, this argument is usually espoused by people on the right who mix it in with other unrelated arguments. So people end up thinking that if they support the free market, they also have to support cutting all welfare.
I don't think that works too well. There's a large factor on satiety which is how hungry, or even happy, you feel at the moment.

The most important factor for keeping calories intake low is making many small meals a day, and we won't solve that changing food, but lifestyle. The obesity epidemic is a direct result of sitting in an office 9 to 5 (or 6,7,8,...) and making two meals a day full of fat and sugar, because you're craving.

When you have a better lifestyle, you naturally gravitate towards better food, because you have time to cook (as opposed to pizza/snacks) or look for good dinner (as opposed to drive-thru), have time to go to the grocery store buy vegetables/fruits more frequently (as opposed to industrialized food which doesn't spoil), and even time to appreciate food itself making various small meals a day.

EDIT: I would like to know why the downvote. The correlation between obesity and office workers is a recurrent research topic.
Curious to see how this is implemented. I don't use Evernote, so more marketing detail would be appreciated. For me the ideal time tracker would be something like RescueTime. An app where every activity you do is tracked automatically, but to a deeper level. At the end of the day/week/month, you can just look back and tag things with billable hours. Man, that would be a sweet app.
