I think we are agreeing, and I don't mean to spin up the same debates. I'm just saying that as it is html presumes that the important content is the text and throws everything else over the fence. It implies that you are done with translating for all displays if you just follow proper html best practices, when in fact you should consider targeting your content for specific displays in many cases.

I absolutely did not say that a blind person should not have access to the web I said the opposite, a designer should be mindful of their various audiences and design for them purposefully and not expect that a file format can do that for them.

I wish there where layout oriented and data oriented table tags, but there isn't so table gets used for both if you want anyone looking at the code to to get what you're doing. I also wish you could designate where the 'content' actually is sometimes its the text sometimes its the imagery sometimes its the layout. Then at least you'd be clear on where manual translation is required.

I think this probably has to do with the sugar in our diets. Animals that live in human environments tend to eat refuse from our food, and our food has been getting more and more packed with sugar lately.

The explanation about animals having access to more food does not work. In the wild, if there is more food, you will simply get more rats. Wild animal populations tend to rise to match their food supply without giving much opportunity for animals to get fat.

Unfortunately, the sugar explanation does not quite explain the lab rat observations. It is possible that the lab rat food has been augmented by sugar without the scientists noticing. AFAIK lab rats tend to be fed commercial food mix that is purchased from various suppliers.

The other explanation fits the lab rat results much better but it is much scarier. It is possible that due to GM crops and/or cattle food supplements we may have released some new hormone in the food supply and/or the water that makes us and animals fat.
I don't think curing cancer makes much sense in the Kickstarter sense:
1. It is enormously expensive - curing a form of cancer costs well into the millions. So it wouldn't get funded.
2. There are loads of funding sources out there already.
3. "Curing" is actually very difficult to define. Most cancer treatments reduce and you'd need a bunch of expensive studies just to determine if the metric was met if it was anything short of "cured."

That said, it might work on a limited basis if you applied an X-Prize to certain forms of cancer. It could mobilize people to really focus on certain types of cancer and specific goals.
I'm pretty sure that this published story isn't to advertise the author's own stupidity. I believe it is the only way he can communicate what happened to certain parties without directly contacting said parties. It lets the author elaborate without saying anything.

The whole argument behind this ruling is that at first the suspect talked and then stopped answering questions. Had the suspect not talked in the first place, then the 5th wouldn't have been voided, but since he did, it was.

People complaining about CSS usually complain about the illogic of cascading, which I don't understand. This, however, captures the weaknesses of CSS a lot better. CSS is strong when it comes to styling text, but weak when it comes to doing layout.

It would be nice to see a complete overhaul of how presentation is done, with what people have sought to do on today's web in mind.
That explanation may work for pets, but it does not work for wild animals in human environments. In these cases, the wild animal population simply rises to meet the food supply.
Sublime Text is nagware (it has "Unregistered" in the titlebar, and reminds you it's unregistered sometimes when you save)-- I'd estimate the vast majority (95%?) of its users never pay.
> At least in Finland entrepreneurs are taxed less than many full-time employees.

It is true in high income levels that you can gain with tax planning, but I wouldn't say many are taxed less. Actually taxes/costs are pretty hurting for many starting entrepreneurs or small businesses.

If entrepreneur wants money out of the company (like for rent), she pays the taxes twice. Once as a corporation (28%) and then again as capital gains tax and/or as an income tax (+ all the costs that comes with employing yourself). Rule thumb for starting entrepreneurs that you need to make at least twice the money you want to make as an individual since taxes and costs the other half.

This is more of a case that wealthy individuals have more options and sometimes they use them and not about entrepreneurship. If you don't have a high income, you're probably paying more taxes(+costs) as entrepreneur than as an employee.

Isle Royale would be a good candidate for this kind of study. It's a small island in the middle of Lake Superior that has its own isolated wolf population. They take a lot of data from the wolf and moose populations, and it wouldn't be surprising if they had some way to track/estimate weight.

I know the research facilities there were the target of severe budget cuts several years ago. It's a shame, because this is an example of where other, unrelated research would benefit from the basic research of an environment mostly untouched by humans.

But I felt he was using it merely as a term of endearment and respect, and not an official corporate title. Know what makes me stop reading a comment? When someone is so stunted by a term, derides something as "hipster" as if this is the be-all, end-all insult, and refuses to consider advice outside their little sphere. I would also be on board with dropping someone "reeking" of something.

As long as we're talking cliches, how about we let "drinking the kool-aid" go?
I've looked closely at MIT's grading over the years and except for a bit in the '60s that I attribute to the draft, there's no sign I could see of grade inflation.

What MIT does is grade on mastery of the subject, not on some curve that might be appropriate for a "flunk out" school but not for one like MIT that can admit the very best in the world. A bit of time with Google indicates Harvard also doesn't grade on the curve.

Going further in what I said above, last time I got figures a few years ago, MIT thought about 3,000 of its applicants can do the work (back when there were 12-13,000 applicants/year). So once that bar has been passed, they can be fairly selective about who they admit for the class target of around 1,100, and in my experience in the '80s by and large those admits can "do an elementary analysis of, for example, a piece of legislation or historical account" (although very few seemed to know history ... then again that's a life long interest and study of mine).

Harvard being Harvard I would expect the student body to be better at "do[ing] an elementary analysis of, for example, a piece of legislation or historical account" than MIT's student body, but Harvard, along with MIT (and CalTech, which has significantly stiffer general graduation requirements than MIT) are special cases.
Maybe the "reward" isn't that you get immediate results, but you get the satisfaction of laying down a brick in a larger building? Maybe if we could put a face on research it would be less abstract to every day people who aren't in science?
E-mail's Big Privacy Problem: Q&A With Silent Circle Co-Founder Phil Zimmermann
One of the things that sucks about being CEO is that even if you couch your thoughts in a million conditionals, "I think", "What do you all think", etc. etc., folks will inevitable take some or all of what you said as The Law™. Heck, it might've just been a silly idle thought you never thought anyone would take seriously. Someone will take it seriously. You might say, "Don't take this seriously." Someone will still take it seriously.

Here's the thing, though: if you can be misunderstood you will be misunderstood. As those often-microscopic misunderstandings compound, people lose a sense of direction. As a founder you'll be repeating yourself and the core values and mission of the company over and over and over again until you want to throw up. This becomes more true as the company grows. A small company often operates more like a hive mind where there's a huge amount of implicit, shared understanding.

My personal strategy is this. In a normal situation if I have a clear idea of what I think should be done, get the key stakeholders into a room to Solve Problem X. Insist that before they get into the room they think about some ideal ways to solve Problem X. If necessary, constrain the solution space by giving high level priorities. Once in the room, have folks share their thoughts.

As CEO you should grill their ideas as intensely and rigorously as possible. You should have a fuller set of facts than they do (hopefully), which means you should be able to see holes they don't.

Most of the time -- assuming you've hired smart people -- your idea or something close to it is one of the ideas that staff brings up. It might even be an improvement on your idea. If that happens, great! You're done. Nobody needed to know you had the same idea and Jane Doe Staffer gets credit for a good idea.

More often than you'd expect, someone else brings up an idea that simply never occurred to you in the first place. This idea would never have surfaced if you started the conversation with your thoughts.

This is win-win-win. The good idea wins. Jane wins because she was empowered to come up with a good idea and saw it realized, which means she'll be excited to do it again in the future. The team wins because they see you're the kind of person who accepts and integrates good ideas. As Harry Truman said, "It's amazing what you can accomplish if you don't care who gets the credit."

If the idea doesn't come up then you might introduce your own or guide the conversation in a way where folks in the room think of it, e.g., there's some fact you have that nobody else does. This is my strategy for normal situations. In exceptional situations, e.g., there's something incredibly urgent, different rules apply. Your staff will be much more inclined to follow your lead in that situation, though, if they see and understand it as an exception.

But if you walk into a room and bring up your idea first, it sets the tone and inevitably everything will be a variation on whatever you said. Even worse, the folks in the room will take what you said as The Law™ even if you didn't intend it to be that way. As a CEO or founder your words inherently carry more weight than anyone else's.

6. The NSA issue is only being carried here and there on NBC news because of Snowden. Honestly the media and public attention will die out soon when the next major news cycle happens. This was known and talked about back in 2006 in published books, no one cared to pay attention though. This will become the reality again soon and the NSA will get back to doing exactly what it does now.
Basically, the 5th Amendment "right to remain silent" isn't as absolute when facing questioning outside of police custody (when you aren't free to leave) or a court room. You need to specifically invoke it under the Salinas decision.
People compile languages with completely different ideologies to the JS object system, so why not compile a better layout model to the CSS box model. The CSS box model is going to be with web development, in it's current form, for at least another five years. So, why not use it as a compilation target.
The kind of sentiment that breeds that ignorant opinion is propegated by those that don't want to see single payer because it hurts their profits. The health insurance / for profit hospital / big pharma lobbies are aburdly massive, and like many (most nowadays) industries, they abuse their wealth to exploit faulty political process to see what they want instituted brought into law and to keep advances that invalidate their profit centers from being legal.

> You can't really have proportional representation for the role of President

American voters don't elect the President, anyway, they elect Presidential electors; if you had more proportional (compared to FPTP single member districts) representation for the Congress [1], and PR within each states slate of electors for the Electoral College (for the EC, party-list proportional could work rather than candidate-centered), and then change the rules for the EC so that the whole EC meets physically and has a set time to elect a President and VP by majority otherwise those elections fall to the House and Senate, you'd neatly solve the problem of duopoly.

[1] Without abandoning candidate-centered elections and equal representation in the Senate, my preferred method of doing this for the Congress would be to add senators so that each state had 3 instead of 2, elect a slate of 3 Senators from each State every 6 years using Single Transferrable Vote, and also elect the House by STV every 2 years, dividing states up into House districts as follows:

If a state has 1-5 seats in the House, it has one district;

If a state 6 or more seats in the House, it is divided as evenly as possible in to districts of not less than 3 and not more than 5 members.

I'd recommend something with 2 text boxes - source and destination. Using Google Maps api (or something similar) you should be able to convert this to a valid address (use ajax to do this as they type). They click submit, and see all of the different shipping options and prices. They select one, pay, print, and done.

I'd pay a little bit extra over the retail prices, not sure how much though. Especially if you get bulk discounts, you should be able to keep the mark-up pretty low.

you're missing the point: maybe email is not good for privacy.

no tool is perfect. you know what would be great? if hammers cured cancer. they don't though, so we just use them to hammer nails into wood.

speaking to people in public places is also a way to communicate, though equally bad for privacy. if there's nothing you can do to change the privacy attribute of "speaking to people in public places", does that mean you should never do it again?

or: use codes that only you and the other person know, hold hands and tap morse code into each others palms, find secure rooms.

people get upset when one tool doesn't do all the things they want, but its a weirdly tech centric thing.

"your startup doesn't do X so i'll criticize it". you can play the "need more features" game ad infinitum -- but nobody criticizes cast cups for their failure to keep drinks cold indefinitely or couches for failing to give them back massages.

Because a feature makes a tool better doesn't make it a requirement for its usage.
It would also be interesting to see research on coffee's effect on a wide range of personality types. I've quit and haven't used in ~19months. Back then I'd drink 3-4 espresso's a day. Quitting was one of the most unpleasant and unbalancing experiences of my life. I kept a log of headaches, moods and fatigue before and after going cold turkey; and it was a long while (months) before the fogginess, tiredness, muscle spasms and irritability became manageable.

The rush and withdrawal effects of coffee on individuals seems to me to differ widely. I have friends that only got a slight barely notable buzz from it, but for me, I got the buzz, pleasure and motivation from my morning espresso. It was my on switch.

I think when I began to realise my psychological dependency was a bit unusual, was when I noticed how jittery and restless I was before my morning espresso. The first sip would correct that and bring with it a strange zen-like calm; the hustle and bustle of the day would dim to a dull hum and I would regain my presence of mind and I could function again. I promptly decided to quit.
Actually it applies to everyone who consumes it, and the body has a limited ability to compensate for it.

If by 2-turn you mean majority-runoff, that still has perverse incentives against voting for other than the more preferred major party candidate, though slightly less so than does plurality.

Large companies with deep pockets existed because there was no way to internationally organize around a monetary research fund cause and get live information about the progress in both a transparent and not prohitively expensive way for the organization to operate.

Ten years ago, you would have to mail dvds because internet speeds weren't fast enough to live-stream the office surveilance camera. Twenty years ago you would have had to snail mail a bulletin every month about status updates.

Today you make a wordpress site with a $3 a year .com address and $50 a month hosting (or host it on the various media sites interlinked like a Tumblr), post live updates, and stream / upload video and audio about progress at a whim.

The middle men of a lot of things (movie production, r&d) did not exist because people wouldn't fund those on their own. They existed because it was infeasible to organize millions of funders and to properly broadcast progress to millions the way such organizations could to a boardroom. That has since changed.

XKeyscore is the PRISM db search plugin/front end. There's a giant vacuum of everybody's personal data and XKeyscore allows you to see it in real time while it's archived into PRISM or look it up afterwards.

http://blog.ted.com/2013/07/17/security-experts-on-the-nsas-...

Bruce Schneier: First, be careful with names. PRISM is a specific NSA database, just a part of the overall NSA surveillance effort. The agency has been playing all sorts of games with names, dividing their efforts up and using many different code names in an attempt to disguise what they’re doing. It allows them to deny that a specific program is doing something, while conveniently omitting the fact that another program is doing the thing and the two programs are talking to each other. So I am less interested in what is in the specific PRISM database, and more what the NSA is doing overall with domestic surveillance.
