>Pretty much the rule is don't be around kids and don't touch kids unless they're yours, and I think everybody knows this today. And as a global rule, don't take pictures of kids at all, but especially avoid any that could involve any type of nudity, intentional or accidental (I'd avoid bathing suit shots for sure).

This seems kinda extreme, like not using electricity because of a potential fire hazard.
I pick up my friend's kids, I read to them, they climb over me, I find it incredibly offensive that you assume I'm a child molester because I've held a child that didn't come out of my wife's uterus.

Mobile first is a pattern for responsive design where you start with the lowest common denominator, the phone, and make sure the experience works and then you enhance it as the resolution goes up. Personally, I do it the other way around. Mobile first restricts you and doesn't let you see the whole picture IMO. If you want the best experience start with the best device, the desktop.
Volume's turned up & it's definitely not on silent mode but the default alarm isn't going off, it's just vibrating. iPhone 4 with the newest version of iOS (I think).

Edit: it goes off if the app is closed, if it's open it doesn't.
No - I am all for a good discussion, as long as the involved parties have not decided the winner already.
What is the difference between "cray-ahn" and "cray-awn"?

Note that I pronounce "dawn" = "don".

Also, I say crayon as "crown", which either isn't very popular, or they just chose poor colors for the heatmap.
Maybe things have changed, but I've consistently had a far better experience with nvidia cards on linux.
Some setups are pretty heavy on stored procedures. Not too long ago I had a job interview at a company who avoided ORMs and did every complex SQL manipulation that way. So on the client side it was pretty specific what they wanted and instead of writing weird call chains (or mixing code with dozens of lines of SQL), you just did that in the database itself. Don't think they used JavaScript, but if you're already using it in lots of other places, it seems like a natural way to go.

Now I'm actually for polyglot programming and don't think you should do everything with just one tool (especially if its JavaScript), but for stored procedures you're not really losing a lot. This is scripting, after all. And the less said about the DB-"native" PLs, the better. I've still got nightmares about inappropriate use cases of PL/SQL (and hey, I actually like Ada).
"The problem comes when a 500MM fund makes a 100k investment."

Interestingly, after crunching the data, this is not true.

In reality, companies who receive money from a larger, multi-stage fund actually raise follow-on financing at a higher rate than those that raise only from dedicated Seed VC firms who presumably care more as they're more invested (or that's what they'd like you to believe :)

While Chris Dixon (prior to joining Andreessen Horowitz) and others have championed the idea that large funds don't care and are just investing in seed rounds as a call option for future rounds, the data just doesn't support this contention.

We were as surprised as everyone else when we found this.

Source? I've never encountered that. Every time I've ever reprogrammed a wireless entry remote, I've had to reprogram all of them at the same time. Garage door openers can store multiple keys, but I've never run into a car that will.

For example, from my Grand Prix's owner's manual:

> Each remote keyless entry transmitter is coded to
prevent another transmitter from unlocking your vehicle.
If a transmitter is lost or stolen, a replacement can
be purchased through your GM dealer. Remember to
bring any additional transmitters with you when you
go to your dealer. When the dealer matches the
replacement transmitter to your vehicle, any remaining
transmitters must also be matched. Once your dealer
has coded the new transmitter, the lost transmitter
cannot unlock your vehicle. The vehicle can have a
maximum of four transmitters matched to it.

And from the shop manual:

> Once the keyless entry receiver enters the programming/diagnostic mode, the programming of the first transmitter erases all previous transmitter programming information. You must then program all of the transmitters.

Quora has some kind of pay-to-get-an-answer with credits. It’s a virtual currency on the website, and you can use them to ask someone to answer (you pay them a bunch of credits, they always get 25% of it, and can get the remaining 75% by answering the question). Unfortunately, the asked user can write a crappy answer and get all the credits ; and you can’t convert them in cash.
Jesus christ, yes. This is why many people suffering from mental illness don't talk about their problems: they end up feeling worse because their friends either try to "fix" them, or they end up comforting the friend, or both. It's always with the best of intentions, but I recently had an experience where I truly understood how terminal cancer patients feel; a friend wanted so badly to help, and kept feeling worse and worse about what was going on with me, and I just tried my best to comfort them at my own expense.

When the only reason you haven't killed yourself is that you don't have the strength to do so, the last thing you want to do is have the people you love going down with you.

(Note, before people get worried: I'm on the way up again now, and getting the help I need to ensure I don't get bad again.)
ahhahahahahha! You're funny
right but what Dylan and silverstorm are referring to is the fact that until about 20-21 the part of your brain that regulates fear and common sense isn't fully developed (which is the main reason that car insurance goes down after 22).
Dawn and don are the same for me, too.

I use a Inspiron 660 [1] and a Dell 2560x1440 27" Monitor. Total price was about $1500. Ordered online and it was at my door in about 10 days. I wanted something with the nvidia card (this is a must in my book as nvidia is well supported and dual monitored supported via DVI/VGA connections) since it works well with Linux. I'm running ubuntu and it works great. Monitor is awesome by the way :)

How what kind of backlog will it keep for unread items? It's not that weird for me to not pay attention to a feed or collection of feeds that I don't have time for at the moment. This is one of my main issues with newsblur, which has a ridiculously low limit of 500 per feed max (based on the number of subscribers the feed has), if you aren't a paying member and it's a low subscription feed it could be as low as 25 posts or something.
You are creating capabilities for this device that don't exist. Currently the data provided does not help with any of your use cases. In fact, it could actually hurt.

I used to have a dog with hip problems. As her hip got worse she ran more, not less. Why? Because it took her longer. Sure, it was lower speed, and she galloped weird, but Whistle would still track that as an increase in running! As a converse, as she got better the time duration of her running fell, but her intensity and speed increased. Again, giving you the wrong idea via Whistle data.

As I said before, Whistle is the Moves app for Dogs. I suggest you download that app, see the data you get from it, and if you would like that for your dog then go for it. Just remember you're paying $100 for the same functionality provided by a free app.

Consider using Mozilla Persona to handle authentication. It's easier to implement that rolling your own username/password solution (although I see you've already done that), and it's decentralised unlike using Google credentials.
I had the same message in Firefox on Windows, but it worked fine in Google Chrome.
So, many people have already had the time to switch from Google Reader. That means people have to be able to import feeds by OPML. Right now it seems like Google Reader is the only import option.
There seems to be https, that is very nice. But theoldreader.com offers me this too. I need an import option before trying this out.
I disagree about the quality of the information presented herein. As someone whose day job involves recording sound for film (necessarily including lots of dialog) and who is not American, regionalisms in accents are both challenging and fascinating for me, and a frequent topic of discussion between myself and the actors I work with. On smaller films there isn't usually the budget for a dialog coach and since I listen to people for a living that aspect of production often falls in my lap.

I found these maps extremely informative and and they helped to clarify some perplexing edge cases (eg people from Missouri sound southern in general, but on some words they exhibit marked differences from their near neighbors).
It depends on the issue I suppose, and what I was using the code for. Obviously I want to help out other developers, but if we start adding to the idea that 'paying for open source absolution' is okay you start to get things like this: http://readwrite.com/2013/05/31/mysql-co-founder-wants-you-t...

Which I really don't think is okay. However, I fully support helping developers spend their time doing what they love to do; but wouldn't spend more than $5 on any one thing. If you think about it, you could have a really successful middleware or something and get $5 from 1,000 people at once, or $5,000 for doing something that you were intending on doing anyways... Seems kinda underhanded to me as an open source developer.
Isn't this an old news? I feel like I saw this page in last year?

Don't even get me started. It was a manufactured crisis and the manufactured media response was yellow journalism at its best. There were hundreds of thousands of people out in the streets protesting that travesty of a fake war - which we're still hemorrhaging blood and money for - and yet the media drumbeat was always that the "American people" "want" the "media" to "rally around" authority.

Ten years later, I'm still experiencing a spike in blood pressure thinking about it. F*ing American Reichstag.

Judging by the size of the aircraft I would think you could be up in the air in about 15 minutes after parking your car. Pre-flight check should only take 2-3 minutes on a aircraft of this size. Take a minute for engine run up. The largest amount of time is probably used up taxing to the end of the runway and walking to and from your vehicle.

#21: What do you call a drive-through liquor store?

The phrase "mud huts" evokes a primitive pastoral lifestyle, but there are a lot of places where mud brick is simply a sensible building material. I have stayed in a "mud hut" in Africa which had running water and electricity; this was common to all the houses in the neighborhood. They were nice big places, plenty of air and light, with ordinary doors and furniture and whatnot, that just happened to be built out of great big slabs of mud. They build this way not because they lack more sophisticated technology, but because mud bricks are an effective, economical technology well suited to their environment.
This seems like it could be a very good business model for developers to employ. Maybe someone could start a service based upon it. I could see it doing very well.
I'm not aware of any conclusive research showing that depression is more common than mania although people are more likely to seek treatment when depressed than when they're manic.

I also struggle to believe that there is any evidence to support your claim that depression as experienced by somebody who is bipolar is worse than somebody who is unipolar which is again worse than depression caused by life events.

I am also a pre-orderer but I believe that the MYO guys have a very interesting take on gestures and gesture control. There is still a long way for the product to become mainstream and the fact that the new Kinect has a camera that can do everything the MYO does without an armband on your hand will definitely make the competition very interesting.
Our customers are doing millions with ACH, most pricing of quality ACH providers is 0% + 25-40 cents and a $20/month service fee. So if the 1% was capped at $20, I could bring over a lot of business from low-risk non-profits.
Another win for T-Mobile. I have to say, for all the negative things I've heard about them in past years, the more I hear about the company the harder I think about switching from Verizon.

No contracts for service, they separated phone subsidies from phone service, and reasonably priced data plans. Does anyone use T-Mobile? How is their network?
Don't get so caught up in worrying about the future. Even if you do everything exactly right, things will change down the road.

Just be sure to write lots and lots of tests. You'll thank me later :)
Obviously, the security and scalability of our platform is a big part of the value we provide to buyers and sellers.

For now, know that there are a number of measures we take to ensure that the site and users' bitcoins are secure: The site runs entirely over SSL (HTTPS). We protect against CSRF and XSS attacks. The addresses used for purchases are generated offline. Withdrawals are handled separately from the application server. Importantly, sellers can withdraw their balances quickly to the Bitcoin address of their choice. As we scale up, we'll store the majority of sellers' funds offline, keeping enough for transaction fees and withdrawals.

We'll be writing a more detailed overview of how we handle security here: https://yumcoin.com/security
How about this.. take samefisher's idea:

> I think maybe each bug could have a pot where people could to put an amount, and if a developer fixed that bug and enough people agreed he would get that pot.

Except leave out this part:

> That way developers could pick the bugs where people are willing to put their money where their mouth is.

Instead, completely hide showing how much money was donated to a bug. From everyone. When a developer fixes a bug, they may get a nice surprise for their contributions, that may further encourage them to work on issues.

A little like GitTip, but you're tipping whoever solves an issue, ahead of time. And because it's invisible, it doesn't make your hobby feel like a job because you don't know which issues are worth the most. (although it may be possible to guess by issue popularity)
creationist often means fundamentalist, but not always.

EDIT: there is definitely a lot of fundamentalist influence in the US on certain topics, particularly on literal creation. But that influence has been waning for 30-40 years. And many of those who have been influenced on one or two topics are nonetheless very much not-fundamentalist on other topics.
I do really love the features idea.

Being a developer myself, when I create a piece of code to do a specific thing and release it to the public it's not for monetary gain, but to help others than need it by using my source. However, if they wanted additional features added to it, you could have a pot, and once the feature is achieved the pot would be deposited to the developer.

Nice article.

No transparency, as usual, from those carriers.

I wonder though if overall user performance would be worse if they didn't throttle - carriers may think (correctly or incorrectly) it is their best option for the capacity/throughput issues they have?

But the biological theory of mental illnesses is very far from established. We have no reliable way of identifying them and no understanding of their mechanism. Existing studies of the medications we use to treat them have been subjected to pretty devastating critique; e.g. the most comprehensive review of the SSRI studies (by Irving Kirsch et. al.) found no clinical significance beyond placebo for the vast majority of patients.

The belief that mental illness is biological ("chemical imbalance in the brain" and so on) is very widespread and very emphatic. But the gap between that and what we actually know is drastic. What explains that gap? Most likely, it's that (a) people very much want to believe it, and (b) the belief has been heavily marketed.

For reasons explained well here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5828677 I don't like this idea. I think it goes against the very motivation behind open source software.

What I think what would work better is if you had the option in github to vote up a bug (or expose the number of people following/watching it) so that the owner of a repository could use that number in deciding how important a bug is to his/her userbase.
