Good suggestion.

Group shows at a small gallery, or benefit auctions for local arts-related organizations are another idea. You can get access to more mature work that way.

You don't generally want solo shows at galleries, but at group shows, people will show smaller works. You have to be well-informed enough to know the gallery and their artists, of course.

Benefit auctions often feature works that local artists have laying around in their studios and donate to the auction (partly for the tax write-off, although that is monitored now). You have to be confident of your eye, and choose the right auction, one that is connected to local artists with actual talent.

All of the above requires footwork and an independent interest in contemporary art. This disqualifies 99.9% of people.

I'm going to make political remark because the issue by its nature is very political.

We are wasting time and energy investigating solution to a real problem from the wrong end. Doing science is not enough to solve this problem, we need to do politics too (or social science for that matter). Infact doing science might ultimately lead us to enhance the problem.

Now we are looking for a way to make a very wastefull behavior more economy friendly. Meat consumption at the current mass scale is unpresidented and there is no reason to enforce it. Alternatives include alternative diet, less waste, better usage of the food we already grow. We have found brilliant ways to cultivate food at minimum cost, but it is not securing the majority of our species food intake. And the western meat marked might be the biggest factor for this injustice.

Now trying to solve it by further saturating the western marked with meat -- a product that is to blame for this mal-distribution of food -- is not going to solve any problem. It is going to shift the attention away from the real issue at hand and further stabilizing a marked that is currently really unfair and damaging.

People getting upset by mere words (not even uttered against them) are hardly worth a hackers time.

Get over yourself. Taking on the title of hacker isn't some prestigious achievement, it's a self-aggrandizing social signal for tech hipsters. Beyond that, every caliber of individual can be upset by 'mere words', including yourself.
I am curious too, on the performance metrics. He is still using Nginx though.
Good olive oils contain an anti-inflammatory substance called oleocanthal, which is similar to ibuprofen. It's been suggested that it's part of what makes the Mediterranean diet so healthful:

Well, the certificate warnings have gotten pretty grave now, though I could imagine showing users an intermediate page telling them Microsoft has screwed up and you may get certificate warnings... which you should just ignore, trust us.

I was just thinking of hijacking DNS locally (i.e. when browser asks for yourbank.com, send them your IP), and making yourbank.com then redirect to yourbank.myfreehost.com -- which could have a legitimate SSL certificate and a copy of all the branding.

That seems more likely to succeed to me. I guess you could try BREACH if you have some high value target you know is using a very specific website. Anything bitcoin related: either the users themselves or admins. Robbing bitcoins is like robbing banks in the Wild West.
-Modify your surroundings:

Don't like the bare walls and blue doors at your office? Use the glasses to put pictures up on the walls and change the door colors.

Don't like your husband's shirt but don't want to insult him? Have you glasses display a nicer shirt on him.

Can't afford a nice couch because you're a starving start-up founder? Get a cheep one on Craigslist and use your glasses to make it look like it's made of leather.

Don't want to pay for a TV in every room, or a second monitor for your desktop? Use your glasses glasses to virtualize all of those.

-Business uses:

Need to tour the new building but don't want to fly halfway across the globe? Tap into a co-worker's glasses' feed to get a real-life virtual tour.

What to do A/B testing on physical devices? Virtual models are even cheaper than 3D printed ones.

-Education uses:

Teaching students about the functioning of a cell? Let them actually enter the cell and explore how it works themselves.

Want to give students an impression of how huge dinosaurs actually were? Put a life-size virtual model of a T-Rex inside the classroom.
Ideological what, now? Bicycles, you may have noticed, are muscle-powered. adding a few dozen pounds' worth of wheels and frame is going to seriously impact acceleration, hill-climbing, and rider endurance, and the increased width will have major effects on hazard avoidance, navigation in narrow spaces, turning radius, and general maneuverability.

I've ridden adult-sized trikes, and they are fun and relaxing, but they're much less suitable for most serious transport/travel applications.
That's interesting - I prefer Safari's web inspector to any other browser... The updates look cool, but currently I find it way more useful than Firefox or Chrome's inspectors.
Reading the homepage, I have no idea how it works other than it uses "machine learning" on the invoices you upload.
You're right, and this is really bad. The thing Chrome gives you on top of this is greater discoverability - i.e. a list of ALL passwords - and a few buttons to make it easier for non-technical users.

Okay ... because the burger is not meat. It will taste like crap.

I have always been very very carnivorous animal. Not because of marketing and my family was always almost vegetarian. But occasions where I eat more than 3-4 pounds of tenderloin in one sitting have been observed.

But if you want from me to eat a dish - it better have big chunks of skeletal muscles of for legged animal that spent the majority of its life on the surface.

There are a lot of people for which meat is plain old delicious. This does not mean that we support the current cruel farming methods and we cannot make the fact that the pig is very bad grain to meat converter (bovines are even worse).

So a meat that is meat - if it can be produced at a fraction of a environmental cost could have a lot of usages - sausages, burgers, almost everything that uses minced meat.

While chances are it won't end on the plate as a steak soon due to aesthetic reasons it could help in feeding the world.

I am about to embark on a construction project in a relatively remote location without utilities. The peace of mind built-in solar and known Linux-driver-present hardware will give will probably mean acquiring one of these... if distribution exists in my part of the world.

It blows the other browsers away in scrolling performance on a retina display laptop. Chrome has gotten a lot better recently, but it's still worse enough that it's worth putting up with Safari's weaknesses.

There's plenty of meat analogues in the market, from highly processed (think Boca and Morningstar Farms) to relatively minimally processed (homemade bean burgers and the like). They sell reasonably well, but nowhere near as well as actual meat. Why? Well, although they're kinda like meat, they're not quite the real thing.

The idea of vat meat is a great one if it turns out it can scale. It will give vegetarians (like me) an additional range of protein sources—not that I'm dissatisfied with what's out there, but I do miss real burgers from time to time. It will also give meat eaters an option that's actually meat, but without the externalities that are endemic in the meat industry (factory farms, poor conditions for animals, methane emissions, low efficiency).

It's unreasonable to expect the world to become vegetarian because of those externalities. And the grass-fed/free-range/cruelty-free kind of thing, while a good step, only addresses some of the externalities, while being intrinsically more expensive. Why not investigate vat meat to see if it's a feasible alternative? Maybe it isn't, and we'll have wasted a bunch of time and money (though I suspect there are implications to this exploration beyond simply food). But maybe it is, and we could fix or ameliorate a bunch of problems without demanding the world switch to soy, seitan, and lentils for their protein (which is not going to happen to the extent it would need to).
The website would also suggest the laptop comes with a sunlight readable screen which presumably doesn't rely on brightness.

Crytek(crysis, far cry developer) compromised, possible loss of user information
GMA 3600 sounds like a weird choice for a laptop running GNU/Linux, the drivers for it are abysmal. The CPU is a weird choice altogether, considering it has a 10W TDP. I think a Celeron 807UE would be a better choice, the TDP is the same and the performance should be close to double, with a significantly better GPU that also has a much better GNU/Linux drivers. The built-in 4G LTE and GPS are nice features though.
why don't we take this discussion over to http://longbets.org/ (and put some money behind it, so eventually people mean what the say)
That you're asking about keeping it unguessable makes me think that it feels like too few. Its actually only 5 bytes of random (the first character is always zero). 2^40 is a pretty large number and I don't expect to get high coverage over that space any time soon. That being said, perception is important, so I should probably up it.

As for hot-linking; I have no business plan and just wanted to make something useful. I should probably figure that stuff out.
It is just as possible. POST csrf exploits add between two and three minutes to an attacker to craft the request differently.
One of the reasons Link bait titles kind of suck at times. The author of this just like many of its readers KNOWS that Bezos didn't buy the Post to keep it running as it is.

The reality is he's an innovator and there probably are very few people who know exactly what he plans on doing with it(he may even be included in that group)

But one thing I can say with absolute certainty is that he intends to change the way news is consumed.

In the world as it stands it only makes sense that digital newspapers are delivering stories straight to our devices as they happen.

With the Whispernet network Kindle has Bezos has an amazing opportunity to allow papers to distribute devices for consumption that consumers can keep in their homes and have updated as the news happens.

This is the way for them to become relevant again and I'd place a bet saying its part of his thinking for the new way forward too.

No more newspaper delivery boys, but the writers who have for the last decade struggled to remain relevant can come back into their own again with the relevance of articles fresh off the wire and they already have the added advantage of being perceived as a more reliable source than most bloggers.

I hope this becomes what it can. because it CAN be great

Ehhh, I mean I dont think this psuedo meat will ever taste EXACTLY like a burger either. Frankly, if one were to spend this kind of time, money and effort to produce a 'tasty' no meat burger probably you could get something of similar taste value.

I personally find this valuable for the same reason the space program is valuable, a lot will be learned, and technology will advance. As far as being a practical solution, seems unlikely. On the 'low end' the actual hungry people of the world for the most part arent particularly meat driven to the same degree that Americans are. On the 'high end', there is literally no way to reproduce the marbleing, vascular structure, bones etc, required to make a top quality steak without reproducing the whole cow, at which point the excersize is moot. I mean on the high end folks claim they can taste the difference in the type of grain the animal was fed, so that market is not going to go in for lab grown meat no matter what. So really at best, this technology will one day be able to replace ground beef, which isnt an ignoble goal.
Anecdote is not correlation.

Also, it's worth noting that the US has a quasi-stable cycle of invading other countries for about a decade, then a roughly decade long policy of non-interventionism while they try to forget what a horrible quagmire they got themselves into the last decade.

I just meant that the comparison to bricks and mortars companies who have to pay for their inventory up front, then collect cash 15, 30, 45 days down the road is outdated. Amazon isn't competing against mall bookstores anymore, it's competing against other online companies - eBay, Apple, B&N (online), etc.
In regards to how it works...

From a customers point of view... we provide a system by which you can receive and review your legal bills in one place (instead of dealing with PDF's and paper invoices). Then you can approve them, mark them up, and pay them.

In the background we provide categorization of line items, insights into what they mean, if the they trigger any guideline flags / questionable charges. As far as how that happens technically... well, that's our secret sauce. Can't divulge it.
Twitter has made this a potential problem with all customers, not just larger customers who want to throw their weight around. The threat (explicit or imagined) of a Twitter PR nightmare can get companies into the same position with customers, even "free" ones if a company does that sort of thing.
rayiner makes a great point about (and possibly created customer demand for) the security of your service being a selling point. I'm wondering if billing firms could fall under client-attorney confidentiality, but I doubt it.

On the other side, your firm has placed itself in the unique position of being able to price-compare different law firms, and even different customers of the same firm. You could pivot/expand into a price-shopping service (kayak for law firms), a law-firm analytics provider (giving a/b testing results and other demographic info to law firms, leading to better price stratifying), or a service for law firms to gain pricing information about their competitors.
Sounds great. What's the realistic performance?

I've dabbled with solar powered portable electronics. Harsh reality is getting direct sunlight for prolonged periods is problematic.

How visible is the screen in full sun? Are the panels' output sufficient for direct powering, or is power buffering required? How long, really, to a full charge (without having to constantly shift it to track the sun)? What percentage of "full sun" is required for direct powering? Are you really willing to leave it lying out in the open for prolonged periods (rain, theft, etc.)? Not trying to bash it, just looking at the gap between "gee, never have to plug it in, that's cool" and real-world concerns.

From prices I've seen, the solar panels + power electronics alone would run $350.
I'm a bit surprised by the HD spec:

HDD: Seagate 2.5” SATA HDD 320GB

So, not an SSD? Don't SSDs use less power than spinners?

Optimizing price on this one choice is strange, to me, considering they are running an Atom CPU. I'd rather pay $x00 for a model with an SSD and a more power-hungry, non-Atom CPU.
When I worked for a wealthy business owner (he had one business and about 50 employees) he would always give me advice about dealing with larger companies. Here's some of the better stuff he shared:

1) Never back down to a larger company. As soon as you give in and give them a break, you're going to be a doormat. Always be the squeaky wheel.

2) Always get everything in writing. They offer you a verbal deal? Say not until we both sign it and its on paper. Both companies and sales people will always balk at having something you can show a judge in a small claims court if its just an empty promise. Then you have something to hold their feet to the fire if it doesn't work out.

3) Always, always, always be willing to walk away from a deal. It's a big account? You could save yourself hours of frustration and use that energy to find several smaller companies. Or you could fine another larger company who will treat you better. Nothing is worth being someone else's patsy, nothing.
> Oh, I'm no expert. That's what concerns me about so much of the babbling about renewable energy: if I can find such major underdiscussed flaws, either I'm confused

Yes, you can stop there. You are confused.

> "Manmade-CO2 based global warming" was laughable,

No, it wasn't. No-one thought you could increase CO2 levels by 70% and not cause an effect. How would the extra energy be removed? Magic?

And you're now trying to talk multiple points at once so that you can confuse the issue rather than clarify it. That's why I picked on one point. I wanted to see if you would admit it was wrong.

English is a great language in that it (almost uniquely) decouples rules from meaning, thus giving it great flexibility. This is in my opinion it's greatest strength.

The way something becomes an acceptable part of the English language has less to do with following some arbitrary set of constraints, than what becomes accepted by actual human beings who use the language to communicate with other actual human beings.

There are more ways of saying any particular thing in English than most if not all other languages, and while you may view this as a weakness, I rather appreciate being able to decide what sounds good on my own.

https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/orwell46.htm

There is also a larger point to be made. If English was such a hindrance why is the world like it is today? Language is one of the most important components of society, so if English really sucked, we'd probably be using some other language on HN. Please explain why, despite what you consider it's shortcomings, English is and will be the lingua franca of the world for the foreseeable future?

My ancestors are from India, and I've visited there from time to time. Anyone with anything to contribute there speaks English, even if as a second (or third or fourth) language. If someone doesn't, that person isn't usually educated or hardly even literate.

Indian languages developed from the same roots as European ones, which is why the term Indo-European exists#. Yet somehow, amongst all the possibilities, the most successful Indians use English. There is something to be said for that.

> I suppose I need a reference for this claim, but think in terms of economy and you'll find that no other culture can afford this much land and resorces to go under meat-farming other than current western cultures

Yeah, you do need a source here. An obvious counterexample is the Inuits, but there have been several other societies with high meat consumption. Also note the high meat consumption of the upper class in Europe during some centuries (the popularity of meat varied over time).

If You Want to Raise Prices, Tell a Better Story
If a client can't understand what he is being billed for by his lawyers, the problem won't be fixed by machine learning -- he needs to call his lawyer and ask what he is being billed for. Lawyers are generally required to explain their bills and itemize if requested by clients in nearly (but not quite all) 50 states.

Indeed, the larger problem faced by SL, and one that the legal industry as a whole is now facing, is the shift from per-hour/itemized billing to flat-fee for service arrangements which are becoming a significantly larger portion of the market across all fields (and which already dominate legal markets such as immigration, criminal, estate planning, and tax).
I can see you don't, which is why I'm trying to pose it variously.

It's a simple one: why make it easier for a user to be compromised than is necessary? Why is it such a problem to ask the user to enter their account password before viewing this prefpane? You've not provided a valid argument against this.

As to lulling users - they already are. All of your marketing screams about how secure chrome is, how you don't need to worry about security, and all the rest, so showing their plaintext passwords just seems... silly.
