It makes a huge difference because it stops you from using the engine inefficiently. They don't put it that MPG on the sticker because if a car drove like that normally people would not buy it. You step on the gas a little and you only get a little bit of acceleration. But you learn to live with it and you get as good a MPG as the Prius at much lower price. You can stamp on the gas and it overrides the eco mode.

One issue is that the air conditioner shuts off when the engine isn't charging, but I compensate for that by setting the temperature lower than normal so it fluctuates where I want it to be.

I think you can charge a lot more than 5c for this service. I think developers tend to think about margins as it relates to the service that the app is built on (this case twilio). Even though they charge 1c per text, you need to base your pricing on what a verified phone number is worth to someone using the service. If a verified number is worth 10$, you can probably charge more like 20-30% of that (maybe more).

- easy to use / learning curve is not steep
- very well documented

There is a very large difference between deploring something and making it illegal. It's completely reasonable to simultaneously believe that something is horrible but that it should also remain legal.

Only a small percentage of facebook users are actually real... Seriously though I think you might be over concerned about spam in the short term. If the site gets popular then it certainly could be an issue, but that's always a big if.
I like your thinking the problem is that we really need both:

1. identity + likes / interests
2. filling out activities as a backup in case they don't have interests on FB

There are about 2000 working hours in a year (40 hrs/week * [52 weeks a year - 2 weeks of paid leave])
Not a genius, but here is my take.

The ability to mint blocks without mining makes a long term attack harder (since even if you leveraged coin-age in your attack you have finite coin-age to work with).

This is because if you have 51% of the power you can beat the rest of the network when it comes to generating N blocks. However if someone mints a coin-age block you can't make that guarantee anymore. Note that this is especially painful because attempted takeovers like this require giving up valid blocks. (So if you tried to do a 6 block rollback you would need to give up 6 blocks in the case of failure)

So I would say that long term a complete shutdown of the protocol due to a 51% attack is unlikely, as coin-age would make it require more than just a lot of hashing power, especially as the protocol gets older.

However I think it may provide a weakness in some edge cases. I wonder what happens if someone tries to use a significant amount of coin-age to do a quick double spend (say spend 1,000 peercoin that are about 3 years old then use the peercoin age to create a parallel block chain to undo the spend). You would have to give up your coin-age in such an attack, but that could be a good trade depending on the rate that coin-age pays out at.

However to be fair, this would require a lot of faith in peercoin, since it appears the protocol calls for a significant timelapse to acquire coin-age. So the likelihood of it happening is lowered.
I bet Chrome's implementation of this is super-careful about avoiding loops or going deeper than one level.
I haven't built anything in Angular yet, but I can vouch for the Ember side of this. Getting started was pretty painful, but I now feel remarkably productive even in more complicated scenarios.

Right, but this solution tries to fit what is otherwise continuous into discrete so his calculations are easier. It is naive and unrealistic. I've never seen that succeed, and the 'approximations' people do with those kind of numbers are scary.

Are all likes equal in weight? Does my affinity remain constant over time? Am I capable of liking a countable number of concepts? Do I naturally revisit all items I've liked in my past life and re-evaluate if they make my cut?

The solution isn't in limiting likes, it's from finding a way to measure 'likes' using actual human behavior passively. For example, on newegg, sorting by 'most popular harddrive' is usually a better proxy than 'highest rated' for the quality I'm looking for. People vote with their wallets, and newegg was among the first to offer that data to inform recommendations. The tradeoff is this behavior helps entrench the winners where markets follow power laws, and that is why Amazon, for example, doesn't offer a similar feature (Amazon's is 'popular and new').

There will be a startup (if there isn't already), who will be acquired by a bank, designed to mine mint data with a POS receipt log and turn that into marketing data (customers who buy these bananas also buy gym membership at ...). JPMorgan (I think?) bought a groupon competitor for this reason. Facebook is tackling this from the other direction by combining browsing history with experian.

I'm finding it hard to think up ways that this differentiates itself enough from Foundation or Bootstrap to be useful -- and your website isn't providing me any reason why as well.

Compare to http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/ and http://foundation.zurb.com/, which list some benefits right on the page -- you need people to instantly understand why they should use your framework over another css framework.

Also, make sure your demo pages represent responsiveness well -- I resized my browser on your mobile demo page and the tab bar ended up becoming nothingness -- perhaps some min-widths are needed?
I think its hard to make friends, because people only feel fulfilled when they are working. This is demonstrated by the fact all these billionaires are still working and they are not content to just be leisurely.

Other than that project looks great!

There's probably better ways of doing this. Some people probably "Like" a bunch of things because they are less discerning, others do it because they are legitimate social leaders in their circles. So you may be able to do more if you have some way of knowing how many things someone sees and chooses not to like, or how many friends subsequently view based on a "Like" (which I suspect Facebook already considers when choosing what to show on timelines).
having no faith in the justice system is probably the healthiest mindset. imagine having faith in LLVM to compile your code because you believe that the compiler will do the right thing. the Justice System, much like LLVM, doesn't require faith to run; it requires valid code.

That said, if you're in court, you're pretty much guilty. It doesn't matter that you've done nothing wrong (no "innocent" plea, remember?); you're in their court, and that means someone has charged you and is demanding payment. "Guilty" means "to pay", according to Black's/Bouvier's. that means that Not Guilty is somewhere you don't want to be (committing a commercial dishonor in their court == contempt).

Just pay the fine (you can pay with securities/commercial paper if you don't want to use cash/cheques), and be done with the matter. Once you've settled, file a motion to expunge with a higher court in order to clear your record.

As the guilty, I guess I find being able to settle pretty relieving. :)

I beg to differ, when I was in college in JHU the text books consistently made use of feet and other imperial units like lbs. Granted there were metric units mixed in as well, but there there were imperial units mixed in as well, often to the exclusion of metric units.
All of what you do today is transient, but what lives on is the fact that you contributed to the process of building new and better technology. If you contribute to the right technologies, you might also live on in addition, but it is true that pretty much nothing you do will last in and of itself as an entity. That's fine and as it should be - if your work is lasting then progress must have halted in a field you care enough about to contribute to. That can't be good.

But they're building on established technology.

(This is not a criticism; tech transfer like this is an awesome, wonderful thing. It's just that one of its tiny side effects is that people can be fooled by the curves.)

Similarly, BitCoin isn't going to be able to continue advancing at this rate when the problem of accelerating BitCoin computation reaches the point where it is reducible to the problem of accelerating transistors in general.

That quote is from 1805, the second one I posted is from 1814, after he'd had 9 years more experience with a free press. Three years after that he wrote:

In your quote he requires "the press confined to truth". But in the above, he also claims that the press is not confined to truth. Maybe they should have, at least, that much restriction.

> Freedom is not a necessary condition for economic prosperity (which undermines a lot of American rhetoric of the last 50 years)

That is demonstrably false. Everywhere you look, throughout history, the more free a country is, the more economically prosperous it becomes. In fact, _every single example_ fits this pattern. There is not a single exception.

China and Singapore are much more economically free than the US (and most other places), and that's why they have seen economic "miracles."

If your argument is, "You don't have to have 100% freedom to have economic prosperity," _that_ is true, but it's not an interesting observation. No country in history has (quite) been a utopia of freedom.

> The global business community doesn't give a shit about democracy, as demonstrated by its rush to embrace China, the Middle East, etc, and the corresponding apologizing about their political systems.

You're treating the "global business community" like it's a "class," in the Marxist sense: a bunch of people who all think alike. In fact, there are just a bunch of individuals.

Most businessmen have similar values and ideas to the rest of the culture. Which is to say, not great, not horrible.

I plan to go into business eventually in some form, and I hope you don't justify punishing _me_ on the basis of your characterization of the "global business community."

How else can you deal with it though? The whole point of the prerendering is that it fetches and renders the page in the background to be displayed to the user when they click on the link. You can't handle the prerender request differently because if the user clicks on the link then chrome will just display the prerendered page it fetched earlier and the user would expect to see the exact page as if they had clicked on a non-prerender link.

If the page you are linking to is time sensitive then you should not be using pre-rendering.

Here are my suggestions:

- I don't know how resumes in NZ need to be formatted. Here are some resources that I found:

http://www.prospects.ac.uk/example_cvs.htm (A Skills-based CV seems to be what you want to do)

http://www.careers.govt.nz/how-to-get-a-job/cvs-and-cover-le...

- I suggest not being creative when formatting your resume or CV unless you are applying for designing jobs.

- Remove the Interests section or include only the interests that relate to the jobs that you are applying for. Definitely remove the line "Attempting to become a creative chef".

- Integrate some of the major keywords that a job description has into your resume or cover letter if applicable

- If LinkedIn is popular in your country, definitely set up a LinkedIn profile

- Create a different version of your resume with more focus on experience like the Traditional one mentioned here: http://www.prospects.ac.uk/example_cvs.htm and see if that works better.

I hope that helps. Best of luck!
I think the best advice I could give you is to be aware that what you're hoping for -- an algorithm with performance bounds tight enough that you can use it in a device driver -- probably doesn't exist. There is some chance, admittedly, that you will get lucky and find some structure in the problem that you can exploit to produce such an algorithm. But it's also entirely possible that there isn't any such structure, and the fact that you've resorted to brute force search to this point suggests there may not be.

Even if there isn't, there is still hope for ways to search the space faster. This problem sounds like something that an SMT solver might work well on. I would give that a try.
It would help if you could point us at a formal description of the protocol.

I'm going to ask for some more explanation of how China is more economically free than the US. What are my property rights like?
The way TFA puts the matter, this looks like an Information Retrieval problem. That is, the author is looking for a data stream that can be used to inform search relevance. One might imagine collecting other active or passive metrics (e.g. "click through from thumbnail", "time on page", "times shared") to inform relevance as well.

Another question I'd pose: what's the real goal of a "like" in the various contexts it is used? In many Facebook applications (e.g. liking a photo, comment, etc.), it appears to be as much about filling in missing social cueing -- a one-bit emoticon, if you will -- than about informing relevance. In other contexts on Facebook, there's a definite notion of relevance (e.g. liking a page).

Given that, I suppose I must ask: how much additional value can really be added to this single low-information stream vs. simply using additional active or passive metrics to inform relevance? Is "like dilution" really such a big problem? If it is, there are other approaches to consider.

Instead of creating artificial scarcity it may be worth using another IR technique and inverse-weight a signal based on dilution criteria. I.e. if one user expends LOTS of "likes", they effectively place a lower value on each of those. If another user uses "likes" very infrequently, we can infer those carry more weight. A straw-man example: turning the proposed technique on its head, the summed value of a user's likes might be capped at 10 points each [week, etc.], with no limit on the number of likes. The value of any like within that window is 10/[number of likes this week]. Users can click the "recommend/like/etc" button as many times as they want, and the system will dutifully record and interpret that data according to the site's needs.
Wonderful.

I'm throwing my 2 cents in, although I haven't built a large scale app with either, I did do a full evaluation of both before my latest large app and I decided on neither one. There were many reasons but every time I wanted to do anything that was remotely non-trivial both fell apart. Although most of that had to do with the MVC pattern more than the actual framework (but the two are tied intricately) In the process of evaluating these two frameworks I found KnockoutJS and I chose it for my large project that is one year into development. After one year with it I love it more now then when I first started. It's not perfect but it is a really well thought out framework, it does lack some documentation, ko.utils I'm looking at you. But it's documentation is vastly superior to the other two frameworks, at least it was a year ago. It's very stable and I prefer the team's approach. The two binding and subscription model is great for solving some intricate problems. It's easily extensible with custom bindings and unlike angular doesn't favour bad coding habits that lock you in to the framework, I forget the name now but their custom HTML tags (I think they call them directives) is nothing but bad news and vendor lock in.
I believe that lying to federal officials is the serious problem. There was a recent story (sorry don't have the link handy) which can be summed up by saying don't speak to any federal officials, even if they say it's just an "interview" and not an interrogation, without your lawyer present, and a recorder running.

I'm not sure what the ramifications would be of a minor lying on a survey administered by school administrators. I doubt if students could be charged with a crime for lying under these circumstances, but I can envision other problems if students admitted to drug or alcohol use on a survey that identified them by name.
