God says...

uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it
shall not be eaten of.

19:24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to
praise the LORD withal.

19:25 And in the fifth year shall ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it
may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.

19:26 Ye shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall ye use
enchantment, nor observe times.

19:27 Ye shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shalt thou
mar the corners of thy beard.

19:28 Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor
print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

19:29 Do not prostitute thy daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest
the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.

Okay "hipster gamer". Notice the usage of quotes.

The point you're making is essentially that people that might enjoy popular franchises or particular genres of games aren't "real gamers" but a lower, subclass of gamers.

The point I'm making is that just because someone enjoys playing Madden (or football) does not mean that they don't also enjoy smaller, independent games ('yeah, most people have never heard of it'). We can be "gamers" too you know...
If I get your business card, I usually write what we discussed on the back of the card. Then, when I enter your contact information into my contact list, I also enter the notes. This may seem obvious, or it may seem like a crutch, but it makes me look like I'm naturally "good with people," which is definitely not a a talent I was born with.
> Soylent has none of the complex/unnecessary/unhealthy chemical substances tradional diets (milk,bread,nuts,fish) have that are the frequent object of intolerances.

One of the key "milk" allergies is allergy to whey, which from what has been posted in this thread is the protein source for Soylent..
It's a blog for crying out loud!

I've written in other contexts where it's a different tone. But that's how blogs are.
> thorough breakdown of Rob Rhinehart's claims regarding Soylent by a health expert and nutritionist

I've seen this posted a few times and I'm having trouble seeing it as thorough. Her complaint on his caloric restriction claims contained a link to relevant research, that was adequate. Her other complaint, which was about his understanding of protein digestibility, contained little detail. These were the only claims she addressed with more than denial.
Formalities indicate social distance, they're general-fit heuristics. Of course they seem dishonest to kids, when you're friendly with your friends and don't need them, and when the other option is that you hold someone in poor regard, they can never be anything but lies.

I suspect anyone who's ever written an inter-company email will know the value of having a formal way of speaking that is unlikely to give offence though.
Truly frightening.
I'd put more stock in nutrition researchers if their advice was remotely consistent from decade to decade.
"Finally: this is being presented within the context of "an experiment". If you start eating soylent, and you get sick, STOP EATING IT!"

If you ate a McDonald's said their food was nutritionally complete, and you ate it everyday for a week, and then got sick, who is to be blamed? Of course, given McD's reputation I'd say you're to be blamed. But in this case Soylent is untested, and so far doesn't even substantiate its claims very well. And even McD's doesn't go so far as saying that their food can replace your meals (or maybe they have? I do not get that vibe though), while Soylent here is supposed to do that (the vibe I got from his blogs, at least -- this is supposedly revolutionary, no?).

Although I love cooking to bits I do find Soylent interesting as a concept, but the way they've gone about doing things isn't what I'd approve of myself.

And as I see it, a majority of the arguments here do not boil down to "Much smarter people are working on this and they haven't solved it, who the hell does this KID think he is?!?" or "He's violating ALL KINDS of FDA regulations! [none of which I can name]". For the former, Soylent is simply making unsubstantiated claims, to which much smarter people have not even come up yet. If Soylent is indeed that smart, then they better have good claims to back it up. For the latter, I only saw one commenter talk about breaking FDA rules, and he was only speculating about them, and to be honest it's very likely that there's something about false advertising that they broke.

But then again the FDA probably didn't expect some company claiming that they'd come up with a food to end all foods...
The Pricing Trilogy
In a straw poll at work some years ago we found that a hypothetic economically liberal, and socially liberal party would handily trounce both Democrats and Republicans. I wouldn't be surprised if the same holds fairly broadly among people in IT.

As the old joke goes, "I can't vote Democratic because I want to be able to spend my money, and I can't vote Republican because of what I want to spend my money on!"
I have used Rackspace mail for 5 or 6 years, since I gave up trying managing email servers for firm and my clients. All it took was one client getting a spamming virus, and all email from the IP address would get black listed.

I have found their email to be very reliable. The webmail aspect is not perfect, and some of my clients have run into occasional issues with it. I almost always use an IMAP client app and never have an issue. You can get an upgrade and enable full mobile sync using (I think) MS ActiveSync.
The mechanics wouldn't necessarily be part of the same "team" as the rest of the functions.
Okay that's cool. It's just that you said some things about me that are wrong. You seem like a nice person. Just know that I'm not who you think I am.

> This isn't in the category of "feed the world" products,

From the linked article:

50% of the food produced globally is wasted, and food makes for the largest component of municipal garbage. If not for this waste there would be plenty of food to adequately nourish everyone alive. 2 million people are killed annually by smoke inhalation from indoor cooking stoves alone. 70% of americans are overweight or obese. 1 in 7 people globally are malnourished, and 1 in 3 in the developing world suffer from deficiency. Countless others are living hand-to-mouth, subsistence farming, hindering economic development. Even in the developed world, agriculture is the most dangerous industry to work in by occupational injuries and illnesses, and obesity is on the rise.

By taking years to spoil, dramatically reducing cost, and easing transportation and storage, soylent could have a dramatic effect on hunger and malnutrition.
I had roughly the same idea and I got told it's impossible. Thanks for proving that naysayers, will always be wrong!
My idea was to add http-header or DnS records that tell browsers the auth-method, path and state. The browser would do the required HTTP Request to login. The user would have to set a key+master password to secure his "browser wallet".

You could even solve that issue without waiting for browser vendors by adding browser addon that does queries to supporting sites by showing a lock icon in the url bar. When you click that lock icon, you do your initial setup with master password and/or key(s). After that you can click the button and toggle your login/logout state with a single click.

The Website only needs to add one php/ruby,python or .htaccess file that adds those http-headers. For DNS you need to add some Resource record fields.

I still don't get why Opera or Firefox didn't think of it, I mean Opera has "Unite" and Firefox has "OpenWebApps" which are in desperate need for a final solution to "Cross-Site Authentification" using built-in secure password or key stores..
Neo-classical economics suggests that it is, in fact ethical to get as much money as possible out of your customers.

Not because people should only care about themselves, but because redistribution through the tax system, and charitable giving, are far more efficient at producing net gain for society, than being "nice" to your customers.

Competition is what prevents people from being "gouged" when it comes to the necessities of life, and in the absence of competition, yes, government intervention is justified.

While the author is a monopolist ex post, in that once he writes his book, he has a monopoly, the market is competitive ex ante, in that anyone can choose to write a book on that subject matter.

So it is almost certainly justified to maximize profit, just as it is in most other businesses.
The main reference I found to the amount of time it took came from a Q&A[1] that appeared after it was published:

> [...]I spent much of the summer getting to know the people involved (sometimes with the photographer Ruth Fremson and the video journalist Catherine Spangler in tow) and the loved ones left behind, and attended the 2012 International Snow Science Workshop in September to help understand the world of avalanches and snow. And I started writing, which took a few weeks. By then, The New York Times had committed to telling this story through multimedia. And, as I hope people see in the credits at the bottom of the article, it was quite a team of graphic artists and designers and editors. Unlike me, they all had plenty of other duties this fall — the presidential election, Hurricane Sandy — but really devoted much of the past month to the publication.

Based on that, it seems the NYT is claiming it took a team working part time—in an unusually busy news time—about a month to complete. The credits for Snow Fall list 11 people on the design team: to get to 200 hours, the minimum needed to qualify as "hundreds", it'd be 18 hours per person. Plausible, but it would be better if he could cite that claim.

I couldn't find any claim to the part about "hand-coding" (whatever that means). In fact, in a different Q&A[2], they mention using a mixture of prior custom work and off-the-shelf components:

> We used a number of custom components that we’ve used in other projects in the past like the modal slideshows. But some tools/libraries include jQuery, underscore, jPlayer, HTML5 video, jQuery Reel, and jQuery address. In triggering scroll-based events, I took inspiration from Remy Sharp’s inview jquery plugin.

The fundamental error of the New Yorker piece would seem to be as described.

If you do pivot, there might be enough return in acting as a broker (/lead generator) for selling financial products to your users.

Once they're paid down their loans (and even before then) you should have a pretty good picture of their financial situation. What are they going to do with that extra cash they have now that their loans repayments are done?

* Take out a loan for a car/holiday?

* Open a share trading account?

* While they're paying down their debts can you get them a better deal on their credit card?
> Maybe it's just different learning styles, but I think most folks prefer video to text.

What I've found--it's entirely puzzling to me--the new generation does indeed.

I teach kids computer stuff and one of them (14) is experimenting with writing minecraft mods in Java. He seriously prefers watching a YouTube screencast of somebody narrating what he's doing in the Eclipse IDE over reading the exact same info on the minecraft modding wiki. There's no editing, direction, it's just a screencast of an IDE. It's tedious because when he gets stuck I have to seek through the video where he went wrong, a lot more effort than a quick scroll through a long wiki page. He knows this, and tries to work off text tutorials a bit more, but to me the case is more than clear: the current generation of young hackers prefers screencasts (and I really cannot fathom why, but I take it as a lesson in becoming an old fart).

I think it could be less irritating if they would just increase the speed to be at or above reading speed. Surely someone has researched what that speed is and written something about it?

I think it's worth defending because even though I was annoyed by it, I did read every letter! Maybe because it's because I'm slightly invested since I started using gpgtools a few days ago and was very impressed by the software, but still, getting people to read copy is a very desirable thing on any marketing site right?
I suspect that the guys at Valve working on the steambox were pretty happy with what they saw during the reveal event.

While steam in the lounge room will be able to deliver content other than games, I'm sure that the main focus of the initial push will be on the games. Seeing MS "diversify" their focus is surely good in Valve's view.

Look into whey protein isolate...it's very low in lactose - less than 1g per 28g serving of the stuff I have...I'm not lactose intolerant though so I'm not sure if even that would be too much (compare to 12g lactose in an 8oz cup of milk).

I don't agree at all because the scrolling effect isn't the issue. The content is the issue.

The guy could have used any generic content in the world to demonstrate scrollkit. He could have used "lorem ipsum" and random Creative Commons images from Flickr. He could have done his own investigation about the avalanche and created his own article. He could have made an article about some other event. He could have written an article about scrollkit and used it to demonstrate scrollkit. There are practically an infinite number of ways he could have avoided this.

Instead he used very specific copyrighted content from an article by a huge media company.

I almost want to say the guy is just trolling for page views. He copied an entire NY Times article, and he's surprised the NY Times has a problem? Who is that dumb?
Completely OT, but when the hell did the asterisk-asterisk denoter for italics become multi-line?

geuis: you should be able to fix it by adding spaces around the first asterisk, if you're so moved.
He used images to show how his implementation compared to the original. At the first C&D he took it down and replaced it a simple compare with the times article sentence. They sent him a C&D for that sentence. The first is understandable. The second not so much.
You've been lucky so far; I have been running my own personal SMTP server(s) for quite some time, and while it's usually setup and forget, it can be an all-nighter headache.

First and foremost, static IPs are a must. Second, make sure those static IPs haven't been misclassified as dynamic or dialup. Then get reverse DNS setup properly (some providers won't do this). Then setup SPF. On top of all this, make absolutely 100% sure you don't run an open proxy. Then keep an eye on blacklists and your logs, and be ready to call and deal with obstinate tech support for hours on end. DKIM, and having some way to reject emails at the envelope stage (to save bandwidth, avoid double bounces, and punish the guilty rather than bouncing to innocent parties being Joe-jobbed) are also good ideas.

It's not horrible, IMHO, but it's not necessarily a cake walk either. You might need to have an understanding employer so that you can take off for half a day to deal with things.
Haha thanks for the explanation :)
That's not perfectly good, that's embarassingly and cringingly bad, and you should be ashamed of yourself for spamming it all throughout this page as if it were anything like a real rebuttal to Rhinehart. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5615708
AOL, as far as I'm concerned, is a lost cause. They will block on rDNS alone, and no amount of calling or emailing will convince them otherwise. Recently, Verizon has gotten pissy about domain names matching the sending server, without even checking SPF.
It makes an important point actually. Using joyless Soylent to alleviate lack of good diet leads to a larger population joylessly depending on Soylent. The situation is worsened.
Currently we do not have any plans to do anonymous deposits. While I can understand that this causes a problem for a lot of people in the bitcoin community, regulation and laws make it very difficult to make this possible.

Hopefully once we get established and the government isn't breathing down our collective necks we can make it easier to do anonymous trading, but the seizure of MtGox's funds has made it clear that for right now you have to play ball.
I think you're under the impression that I am more emotionally-involved here than I actually am. I'm not particularly upset about Google's actions. It is what it is.

My last sentence kind of expresses my whole point: "the writing is on the wall". I think that what's left of their XMPP support will be phased out sooner rather than later as everyone jumps ship to the new platform.

That they terminated their app (Google Talk) on their leading platform speaks volumes about where XMPP is going.

To add fuel to the fire, I think Google Voice as we know it is going away, too. :) I can't see how they're generating worthwhile profits on it.
In my experience, when people at UT say they wish they had gone to A&M, it's for cultural reasons, not for academic quality reasons.

Oh I thought people were mostly lactose intolerant. I guess you're right, but the nice thing about Soylent is that you can actually replace ingredients rather easily.

In his blogs he mentioned that in his head this could ultimately be a drink tailormade for your specific needs, so someone with whey allergy could swap the whey proteins for meat or fish proteins (if those are readibly available at all)
This is probably not gonna be a popular sentiment here but I actually like the G+ integration with all the services. The main reasons for that are my expectation of better personalization and synchronization, and a better experience with Google Now. And BTW I'm an iOS user.
> I think the equivalent would be using, without permission, the entirety of a popular video or song to demo a media player that you wrote.

I disagree with that, since people who make money with movies and music tend to do that via selling access to the media, which the NYT doesn't seem to be doing in this case and the OP consequently doesn't interfere with (even before the OP apparently didn't reproduce the NYT content in its entirety).
Can I suggest if you find it tiring that you save yourself a lot of trouble and just don't read it? You know that's what most people do with stuff they don't like. Not questioning your sanity Daniel, but come on -- really, that's much of an excuse! :-)
That was my point -- whether SV's elite support the Democrats or the Republicans is kind of irrelevant to the question. Both parties have been captured by economic elites. These elites have some issues they disagree on, but lots of issues they mostly agree on, and the ones they agree on are the ones that impact the highly wealthy. Where there is consensus, it is the consensus of the elite, for the elite.

In other words -- Jamie Dimon is a Democrat. Robert Rubin is a Democrat. Larry Summers is a Democrat. These are the voices that shape Democratic economic policy, and they are not exactly a group of fiery progressives. They are the evidence of how narrow the difference between the parties is on the issues that the 1% care most about. The issues the parties fight over are by definition issues that guys like these just don't care about. If they cared about them, they would drag the parties kicking and screaming to a consensus just like they have on economic policy.

This is no different than how it was in the first Gilded Age; most of the most notorious political figures from that era were Republicans -- James G. Blaine (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_G._Blaine) and Roscoe Conkling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roscoe_Conkling) come to mind -- but there were plenty of Democrats too, like Boss Tweed (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boss_Tweed). And all leaders in both parties overwhelmingly hewed to an ideology that business interests were more important than any others.
slander is spoken, the term you are looking for is libel.
Looking at the developer blog on the feature, they said "months" and that it involved the collaboration of a lot of people. "Hundreds of hours" is not entirely unreasonable, though not exactly given.
