Just wait until you make ice cream for other people. I've had friends ask why my mint, pistachio, and strawberry ice creams (among other flavors) were nearly white except for the pistachio and strawberry bits they found, because they were probably expecting it to be colored. It actually creeps me out to think about all the extra ingredients that go into commercial ice cream. It also amuses me to no end that haagen dazs is selling a new line of ice cream promising "all natural" ice cream with "only five ingredients".

Anyway, off my soapbox. One great place to start is (in my opinion) Lebovitz's site, since he has a few good recipes and tips for making ice cream. There's also a ben and jerry's ice cream recipe book out there. And lastly, get ready to waste a lot of cream and eggs and sugar (in a good way), cause experimenting is fun and you'll want to for some exotic flavors.

Also, if you have a maker with bowls that need frozen before use, be prepared to learn how to make ice cream without it as well - they work, but sometimes you just don't want to wait that long :P

2) Corporate identity and EIN (knowing parents will insist on it for their little future entrepreneurs, anyway).

B. Then Aldrich, et al. will provide other restrictions on shipping.

C. Knowing parents/criminals/etc. will start the next workaround.

This article is wrong. Microsoft doesn't want you to use PAE, because it's crap.

It was a weird XMS sort of memory extension developed for enteprise applications on the Pentium Pro. Supporting it
adds all sorts of weird corner cases that have to be dealt
with in the operating system. It is a good thing MS doesn't support it, it's the right technical choice.

Much better to go with a straight flat 64bit address space
than hacked up crap. Anyone who remembers segments and offsets can tell you how horrible it is.
Perhaps.

In my case, I was part of that socioeconomic class from birth to 16, but from 16-20 I was homeless, and from 20-right now I was very poor, far beneath the poverty line in the states.

I kept that sense of fascination, and I've met tons of people who are dirt poor, and have been dirt poor their entire lives, who have that sense of fascination. I've met fewer people with it in the middle and upper classes.

That's not to say that there aren't a whole bunch of very poor people who lack it. If I had to honestly guess, I'd say that it's somewhat related to intelligence, and how many different ideas someone gets exposed to while they're young, and that the percentage of folks who are fascinated by the world is approximately the same throughout classes, and that I just haven't met enough middle to upper class people in my adult life to know yet.

I really, don't think that it's a luxury of class. It may get affected by class, but I don't think that the effect is as big as you suppose.

WolframAlpha Fails to Impress
Yep. PAE doesn't allow for any single program to have any more than the roughly 3 GB because the virtual memory of every program still is a 32 bit address space.
That much protein is insane! I guess if you're young and your kidneys can take it, more power to you. If you're worried about longevity, though, I'd swap out about 3/4 of that meat with rice.

The longest lived people, the Japanese get over 80% of their calories from carbohydrates, and over half from rice alone. They're also the thinnest of all economically developed people in the world and have low rates of heart disease.

Here in Taiwan, it's similar, but as the restaurant scene has become more Americanized, more and more young people are having those problems. All those steaks take a toll.
Yeah I remember when PAE first came about on the PPRO. It was designed specifically for applications to extend the system.

oracle, mssql, etc had weird extended windowed memory versions for huge ppro systems (Remember this is back in 1996). All the horrors of working with XMS/EMS type memory with the added joy of windows. How could you lose?
What about only counting "orange" users for the frontpage?

This seemed a very strong measure of user quality, and it was only reverted because of social effects - which wouldn't be present for frontpage votes. It might also give evidence of whether it really is a strong measure of user quality or not.
64bit is the only way to address 32bit addressing limit. it's related to 32bit chip architecture not to particular operating system. what's amusing is the length of the article. putting that much effort into article (and research) without finding basic things about computers their architecture deserves more than few points down.

This is like watching dinosaurs attempting to do physics.

Everytime they hear Google mention the idea of 'opt out if you don't like it', they start crying 'Publishers should not have to choose between protecting their copyrights and shunning the search-engine databases that map the Internet'. So they want google to crawl their pages, and then pay them something on top for indexing them.

That's like asking the police to protect your neighborhood and then charging them a monthly fee on top for the policing.

It's this ridiculous sense of entitlement that's the most sickening out of all this.
But, would you go and see Frasier in the theater? I didn't think so.

Basically, BJ is around 50%. You win slightly less than half the hands, but some hands give you higher payoffs (doubling, BJ itself, etc). Card counting lets you move the odds by a few percent. If the deck goes in your favor, you then increase the size of your bets to recoup your losses and make a small profit.

The margins are slim, but real. The deck goes in your favor about 10% of the time, so you have to multiply your bets 10 fold to break even (ish). This gets noticed, they reshuffle, and you lose your advantage before you recoup your losses. You ened "social" strategies to beat that.

I've been meaning to write up my experiments for some time, but I've been reluctant 'cos there's already so much on the web about this.

Are we talking "karma for a single comment/post" or "karma for a user"? The reason I ask is that I've been using HN since close to the beginning and never once have I looked at a user's karma score. User karma has no meaning to me, good or bad. Post/comment karma matters in the sorting and what appears on the front page so, to me, it's the only thing that I care about.

So is your discussion more about user or post/comment karma? I suspect the latter.

I voted you up because it is a valid point and you shouldn't be downvoted as much.

I think it is a matter of deciding how original do you have to be to earn the badge of creativity for yourself.

If you think of the great pop artists, Warhol and Peter Blake for example they all sampled from popular culture but they did it in such a way that they created a visual look that defined art for the generation they created it in.

Equally with music some of the best modern music has used samples to good effect, think of DJ Shadow's work and one of my personal favourites The Avalanches - they took small fragments of other people's work but arranged it in such a way that what they created was an original work in its own right.

In the creative industries we all are influenced by what's around us and artists who do not sample are no different in this regard they just use their influences in a slightly different way.
I guess I had both in mind. The post/comment karma for the reasons you mentioned, but also user karma - not just because people look at a user's karma score, but because it's used to determine other things. If it's used for even more purposes in the future (vote weighting, for example) its importance will only increase.

There are many interesting subtleties to voting and karma systems, such as the one we use here on HN. Another one is that a post that has a child that glorifies the parent "Great insight, bla.bla." will inevitably be voted up. You can probably find more if you look a bit.

You assume humans are rational beings and vote accordingly. But they aren't, they are emotional beasts that are hard to control, and are full of strange biases and ideas about what is right and wrong.

See for instance this list of cognitive biases from wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_biases Your paradox is explained by one of the biases listed, I'll leave it to you to figure out which one ;-)

Nothing I have said contradicts this.
The problem is that a single upvote-downvote axis has to capture two different, sometimes orthogonal, judgments

I would like to see a HN-like site with a 2 part Karma system.

It would appear as three numbers A and S:N where A = Agree, S = Signal and N = Noise. S:N would not really be a ratio, and the Karma calculated from the three numbers could be any function, and wouldn't necessarily just consider S:N as a ratio.

But voting would effectively be a 4-choice radio box, so you could only pick one of the 4.

- Agree (+A +S)
- Disagree (-A +S)
- Signal (+S)
- Noise (+N)

Agree/Disagree will move the Agree number up or down and also add a point on the Signal number. Signal will up S. Noise will up N.

I suspect that those who try to game this system and censor comments by voting Noise as opposed to Signal will get overwhelmed by the Agree/Disagree voting on Signal.

I also suspect that Signal could just add to Karma, and Noise could just subtract from it. This might be able to exhibit the same dynamics as up/down voting on HN.

Another idea is to put the Noise vote button away from the up/down voting arrows and put it next to "Flag". The Signal control should still be next to Agree/Disagree, however. (Maybe a little star or sunburst? Wait, I know, a Sine Curve! Noise could have a square wave icon next to it.)

I proposed this before on HN, but I can't find it with SearchYC.
"Representations made by Microsoft about memory limits for Windows Vista are misleading or illegal."

I think you need to re-read the article. It is not about going around the 32 bit address-space limit. It is about utilizing all available memory in a 32 bit system. Which has everything to do with the operating system.

When did I assume humans are rational beings and vote accordingly? What I was getting at is that widely accepted points get lots of upvotes as people express their agreement, but more controversial points get more of their upvotes because of the comment's quality. For the controversial points, this is offset by downvotes from people expressing disagreement. See gojomo's comment for a possible solution.

I'm not saying any voting system can be perfect, but this particular problem is explained by the fact that multiple judgments are being captured by a single voting axis, as gojomo said.
That’s inspiring. As bemmu said it’s not difficult, just takes some thought.
Truly amazing, no matter how easy it is.

If I'm understanding the first part of the answer, he's sayin the wheel was not invented in the New World because there was no inventor of the wheel in the New World.

I think the more interesting and pertinent question, which he barely touched on, is why do some societies invent and adopt things and put them to all kinds of use while other societies either don't invent them or invent them without ever adapting and applying them to their full potential?

Haven't read the article, because the author seems to have run out of bandwidth, but I can tell you that Microsoft does indeed support PAE: http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/system/platform/server/PAE/PAE...
I would far prefer direct subsidies to what this article implies.
Surely the question is "Why does anyone care who uses Twitter?".

You need to go to better parties. Note that by "better", I'm not talking about location or gimmicks. Just don't get together with people you don't like. If everyone likes everyone else, they can all be natural.
PAE is crappy in a XMS sort of way if you want to use it to run applications that are able to access more than 4GB (3GB actually) of memory.
However, if you just want to run multiple applications/processes that all require a large amount of Memory (say 1 or 2 GB) it has an advantage because it allows the system to keep each process' address space in physical memory. This fact is entirly transparent to the applications themselves. The application developer just "sees" the usual 32bit flat address space and does not have to jump through any XMS like hoops.
With PAE you cant have processes use more than 4GIG of address space (unless you explicitly program for it like Oracle did for the PPro). Being able to keep multiple large process images entirely in physical memory can be of great benefit though for certain types of usage scenario.
yep, it kinda reminds me to a those small pieces of software that would double your physical memory for 39$.
I'm not saying it can't be fun. It's just not my cup of tea. Therefore I don't want to do it. Therefore I'll suck at a business model that depends on doing it.
As far as I know it actually works fine and is well-supported in Linux. Sure, getting more than 3GB address space in user space apps isn't possible and if you need more than that you have to either use a real 64-bit OS, or use special hairy remapping APIs. But if all you want to do is run a gazillion processes that don't come anywhere near the 3GB ceiling individually, PAE actually has memory efficiency advantages. 64GB of physical RAM are the hard limit in PAE mode, though, which I suppose screams "temporary measure". Back then, we were all going to switch to IA-64 (Itanium) according to Intel.

I'm not aware of the "corner cases" you're referring to. The page table format changes, (4 levels instead of 3, rather like in 64-bit mode) and if you wish you can use the x86 memory segmentation system in creative ways, IIRC. You also need to watch the addresses you can use as DMA sources and destinations, but you have to do that in real 64-bit mode as well. (not all PCI devices support >32-bit memory addresses for DMA) Plain Windows XP even enables PAE if supported by the hardware, but refuses to touch memory above the 4GB address barrier.

The real problem, as far as I can tell, is kernel-mode code, which must be aware of PAE and must be able to deal with it accordingly, especially concerning the DMA issue mentioned above. And for better or worse, there's a lot of third-party kernel-mode code running on the average Windows system (drivers, virus scanners, etc.) and MS understandably don't want to deal with the support quagmire of third-party drivers that don't properly support PAE. Because even if it's the driver developer's fault, the customer will see Windows crashing, and therefore it's Microsoft's fault.

Certain server versions of Windows do support PAE, but they have their own, more expensive driver certification process, which is fine for hardware and software created for "enterprise" customers. And things like databases from Oracle and IBM did and presumably still do use the hairy remapping APIs in their 32-bit versions, because the 64-bit-era has only arrived relatively recently in windows-land.

Linux solves this by controlling all officially supported drivers because they ship with the official kernel, so making all drivers PAE-aware is easy. Everything outside of that is the user's or the distributor's responsibility.
