While I'm not going to demonize alcohol, I also wouldn't downplay the harm. Alcohol is probably one of the nastier psychoactive substances known to man. Alcohol abuse is pretty common (an estimated number of 15 million Americans); it can create a physical dependence; there is a strong link between alcohol and violence (alcohol is normally classified as a depressant, but a significant minority of alcoholics become violent); alcohol is involved in the majority of car accidents. Plus, of course, the health problems that excessive alcohol consumption can cause.

That does not mean that people should be teetotalers (in the end, only a minority of drinkers is thus affected, though a scarily sizable one); but it is important to understand that alcohol abuse is both frequent and dangerous regardless.

I'm a bit skeptic, what are the chances that it hooks you up with a transvestite? And besides, is it even legal?

Also this:

"We believe it’s natural for someone to feel a powerful sense of attachment to a long term partner, while experiencing romantic love for somebody else and at the same time, feeling sexually attracted to a diverse range of people."

Sounds like these guys are encouraging cheating on your spouse. There's no way this can pass the App Store's strict policy.
What about DDG? DDG supposedly doesn't know about the user searching.
Unless you count expansion and upgrades. Bandwidth increases up to 1G are relatively cheap then things become crazy expensive fast. And of course this is assuming you can get unmetered bandwidth as an ISP (only available for dark fibre bundle owners - incumbent telcos exclusively).

You have to dig fibers at some point - at a cost of ~$15-100 per meter.

Feel free to join my "unmetered" internet. I've connected my routers via 56k lines to eachother, but we never even throttle a single customer. Of course given the chances of even a single packet ever reaching it's destination are so low you probably shouldn't even bother connecting to the network at all ...
Probably the same people who think sending a letter is private. They just don't think of all the external factors.

Seems like a smart move. It could help to dampen the perception of evil attached to EA's reputation, whilst making a sizable ($1m+) difference to a number of charities.

That said, it would be nice to see a greater choice in the number of charities. My own preference would be to donate to smaller and more focused variety. Or, even combining it with charitable crowdfunded projects. eg[1][2]

Although, it may also be logistically harder to pull that off.

Actually if you study network designs that actually allow full duplex X mbps (independant of what X is as soon as you hit realistic numbers of subscribers) you'll quickly see that it's physically impossible to come up with a network design that actually allows any to any connectivity outside of a datacenter.

And internationally, where we are dependant -mostly- on undersea cables, the capacity just isn't there.
I'm still having a hard time contemplating the fact that WE exist.

Sitting in front of our flat monitors with access to nearly all information which is stored all around planet Earth.

Phones that connect us to billions of people.

Brains large enough to hypothesize the creation of the universe.

We can create rockets that send probes to other planets and even the edge of our solar system.

We regularly travel around in amazing personal vehicles that allow us to travel at over 100 mph in about 10 seconds.

The fact that each one of us had about one quadrillionth percent chance of even being born, yet here we are.

The fact that we can even talk and communicate effectively is amazing.

We can imagine future technologies and have goals to work towards such as immortality, brain-computer interfaces, teleportation, and mining asteroids.

We have so much to be thankful for. Everything is amazing.

I have a dog that can't do anything but eat, pee, poop, and play fetch. What kind of activities do other organisms do that humans can't do? Other than telepathy, and flight, and breathing without oxygen, and energy creation through sunlight.

Yet we still make fellow humans and animals suffer daily. We eat shit food and get depressed and some people even try to kill themselves. We have concepts like good and evil and actually hate other humans just because they are not exactly like our culture or have more stuff than we do. We have enough nuclear missiles in the ocean to eradicate life on earth.

Terraforming mars will be fun. I hope that I live to see the start of that adventure. The next 100 years in general will be very fun. I'm extremely glad that I get to be a part of this awesome world at this extraordinary time in human history. Please, nobody fuck it up too bad.

My point is, regarding the article, ANYTHING is possible. God is possible, ghosts are possible, flying spaghetti monsters are possible but until I see a video with convincing explanation or accredited scientists agree that something is very likely, is there really any point of just making up stuff?

Mars having a thriving self-sustaining human-like civilization underground is possible. Aliens living among us for several years is possible. No scientist will say that either of those hypothesis are absolutely impossible, but there is no point in proposing it unless you're writing a science fiction novel/movie/comic book.

So if you are saying in future, Anthony Weiners will get elected, then again I have to disagree with you.
Thanks to human nature, I see the exact opposite happening with our leaders.

And to your main point, the tech is inevitable cause its finally viable. As to its success, I'm highly doubtful
for two reasons-

1) There is a cost to transparency - both to individuals and organizations. Once the cost is felt, information will stop flowing as freely as it does today.

2) Just because there is a machine that can digest unlimited information and produce a list of threats
doesn't mean unlimited resources exists to address all of them, not to mention address them effectively.
Whether it was the boston bombings or the wall street meltdown both events happened despite information being available. Just as economics in the end, reduced nuclear arsenals economics will limit the size and scope of these machines.

I really don't see us reaching any stable state with zero privacy and high transparency levels. Though I can see why a Zuckerberg, Schmidt or Karp might see that. It aligns well with what they do.

Yeah, it feels like a narrow line to walk, but the effectivness of alcohol as a wind down quick elixr can not be denied. I found myself mixing whiskey into a glass of water last night at 2:30 just so I could slow my mind down enough to get to sleep. As I was watering down the alcohol so I could quickly consume it I paused for a second to wonder if this was destructive behavior, but... It feels like I'm in control of it. The alcohol is a tool.

A drink before bed to me is like the inverse of waking up and drinking coffee.
I have an entirely different take on the speed with which libraries have developed for Node and Go – I don't believe that it's because they are "web languages", but rather because both JavaScript and Go are languages where libraries are written in the high-level user language rather than being written in C via an API. JavaScript gestated in the browser where writing extensions in some other language simply wasn't possible; with the advent of V8, it suddenly became a fast language and all that JavaScript code became the core of an ecosystem of pure JavaScript libraries. Go is new and fast and therefore it has never made sense to write Go libraries in a lower level language.

That being said, writing web apps in Julia is great and very much supported and encouraged. Like Node, we use libuv for I/O and networking. Others have mentioned Morsel, Julia's Sinatra-like web framework, which unsurprisingly – since it's based on the same underlying event framework – gets similar performance to Node.js.

Unfortunately when you work from incomplete information you have to rely a bit on instincts and not totally rational feelings. Its just a vibe I got and I might be totally off base, so I had to sanity check here. (rglover made me feel a lot better about it) :)

I've been subscribed to the newsletter all along and notice interesting things here and there but somehow haven't gotten around to diving in yet because its a very crowded field.

There's a sort of continuum with Backbone and Angular/Ember or perhaps Node or Flask or more recently Go. Its easy to drown in all the choices, and as far as I know Meteor has no big websites/projects using it yet so it hasn't carved out a niche/identity in my mind yet.
> Healthwise, a drink or two every day is actually beneficial.

Please don't say this - it isn't supported by science.

A small amount of alcohol per week might be beneficial for some conditions, but might make others worse.

When you consider what many people see as "one drink" compared to the actual measure of alcohol we see that many people drink much more than a small amount of alcohol per week.

In the UK we use "units" as a simple public health measure. One unit of alcohol is given by serving size (in ml) * Alcohol by volume / 1000.

125 ml of wine at 8% ABV is one unit. It's hard to find wine at 8% ABV now. And if someone poured you a 125 ml serving you'd laugh and call them back.

People are much more likely to drink "a glass of wine", say 225 ml at 13.5% ABV. That's about 3 units.

UK recommendations for men are no more than 3 to 4 units per day, and not every day. For women the recommendations are no more than 2 to 3 units a day, and not every day. People should leave 48 hours clear if they have had a heavy drinking session.

Well, the notion that one metal is liquid at our arbitrary reference temperature is a coincidence. But it is no coincidence that the moon's orbital and rotational periods are the same; this is due to a mechanical phenomenon called Tidal Locking[1] and is actually quite common for natural satellites.

Thanks for taking the time to answer. I disagree with almost everything you said - I think most feminist live in an imaginary world and have no idea of the real world.

But I'll leave it at that.

Perhaps the army of gender studies students that will emerge from universities soon will take it upon them to prove us right or wrong...

If you want to continue the discussion by email I would of course be happy to do so.

For a bit of fun, here is a recent experiment of men vs women asking for sex http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xbPfW38F_5s&feature=c4-overvi....

There actually was a real experiment like that with similar results (I think it was done on Stanford Campus, too lazy to google). So men need to ask 100 times more people than women to get sex. Maybe if the first woman would say yes, there would be less "harassment" necessary. So if feminists make up their mind to have sex more often, it could help a lot to alleviate that problem...
Try as hard as you will, you will not come up with "really precise definitions" which cannot be wriggled around.

Take the term "imminent threat." In general people agree that "imminent" means that there will be an attack within the next few hours or days, and that specific plans are being acted on to carry out that attack.

But Secretary of State Rice said: the question of imminence isn't whether or not someone will strike tomorrow, it's whether you believe you're in a stronger position today to deal with the threat or whether you're going to be in a stronger position tomorrow," replies Rice. "It was the president's assessment that the situation in Iraq was getting worse from our point of view."

This is a different interpretation of that word, and that gives more power to those who can make their own definitions.

Or, take the recent military coup in Egypt. The administration is trying hard to continue to continue to send military aid to Egypt, despite a law which prohibits direct financial aid to "the government of any country whose duly elected head of government is deposed by military coup d’état or decree or, after the date of enactment of this act, a coup d’état or decree in which the military plays a decisive role."

The law doesn't define a coup d’état, so most people would use something like the dictionary entry. Instead, the White House refuses to define the term, points out that the law doesn't specify a deadline to when the determination must be made, and so has no plans to do so any time soon.

You might reply that the laws should just define each of these terms clearly. I say again, no matter how you define those terms, there will be a way to wriggle around them. For example, the terms used to define those terms can themselves be reinterpreted.

This is an old debate: should people follow the letter of the law or the spirit of the law? Do you let rules lawyers into your game, or kick them out? Are people who game the system to be praised or punished? If you think those are problems, then the solution is not to make more rules, but to instill a obligation to follow the spirit of the law.

yeah.. the A10 will do well against pure fighters...
nope, it won't. i'd rather be in a B2 and avoid the fight.
The A10 is not made for the same type of missions thought. it can fight helicopters and ground forces, while avoiding light AA and light air support.

funny how the planes here, like on youtube, are rated by reputation, and not by knowledge, experience, or dare i say, facts.
A kid in the UK did this years ago with his website. As I recall he made over a million pounds.
Exactly! That's the hard the problem I presume they are going to solve, or try to solve.
This is the kind of writing I love to see from founders. It's first-hand experience, and any advice is accompanied by narrative that explains the line of thought. It doesn't just seem as though it came down on stone tablets from gods of startups. In a word, it's practical.
Not to mention the minus 180 degrees Celsius.
I was referring to the NDK. The NDK is perfectly capable of input & drawing - it's what many games use, for example. It's also what Firefox uses. Well, Firefox is a hybrid - a mix of Java and native. But the web parts are all native running outside of dalvik and drawing directly to a surface via OpenGL.
> Sandboxing for security and fault tolerance is a big deal; it's certainly worth the difficulty in figuring out how much RAM is actually being used by N tabs, if that's your main complaint.

I use Firefox with tab groups and lazy tab loading and have probably over a thousand tabs in all the tab groups I use. This is very useful for me doing research and I haven't yet found a better workflow. I don't believe I would be able to achieve this with Chrome with any reasonable RAM usage.

> I really wish there were a keyboard shortcut for pushing the address of a link onto a temporary bookmarks stack, and another shortcut for popping a bookmark and opening a tab.

I use the Firefox addon "Save-to-Read" for this purpose and works great.

Each videos is more awesome than the previous one, but one thing remains constant, the incredibly short time between low altitude and stable landing.
The only advantage I can think of is experience of working at a startup. This will greatly help me as I wish to startup something of my own in near future.
Just read what I pasted, there's no other logical way to interpret it. Having a long-term partner and a sex-hookup on the side, what is that if not cheating? If they can't even get their PR blurb right I wonder how they're gonna manage the media shitstorm that's probably coming their way.
I find that a hardcore workout works even better than alcohol. Not only do you get the same winding down effect in a short period of time (assuming you're really killing yourself and working to exhaustion in the gym), but you get a lot of additional benefits along with it: better focus, improved health, boosted confidence, and improved body composition. You wake up the next morning feeling a lot better about yourself. My experience with alcohol is often the opposite.
A Critical Roadmap to Entrepreneurial Success
I absolutely think meditation could serve as a way to unwind, in any term.
I am not offended. I wrote that the sentiment I described was belittling and people would resent it.

Sorry, I don't believe you. You were either directly speaking for yourself or you were using weasel words a la, "people would resent it."

In either case, you should man up to the fact that you were truly speaking for yourself. There were three people that voiced their offense at what I said. Two appeared to not be able to avoid petty insults and name-calling. One of those two ended up deleting the dozen or so responses they had in here, apparently ashamed of what they wrote.

I'm still hoping that you'll own your words more than the other two.
FUD. It installs, at worst will ask you if you want it to launch on login (you can turn that off). origin.exe pretty much does what it says on the tin: allows you to download games and play them.
Sure, but that's also not the system font.
Nice perspective. Will definitely do that.
French Creole in Tennesee? What's up with that?
How are you "directly connected to the farm and culture"? If you are like most people, you brew your coffee and go on with your morning.
According to Wikipedia, the surface of Titan is around -180 degrees C.

Do you expect a life form to exist in that environment but ALSO be able to flourish in the human body, a creature of a sort never seen on Titan, 200 degrees warmer and full of entirely different chemicals?

Definitely - I've started practicing aikido 3 times a week, for at least an hour each time I go (I worked my way up to it). I usually go to the dojo for 2 1/2 hours, but not always. It's done more for my physical and mental well-being than any other type of exercise. Practicing Qi Gong in the mornings before leaving the house has also helped.

Generally speaking, I think practicing martial arts is a good thing for technical people to do. It gets you out of your head and into a feeling space. And, there are many interesting parallels between the learning process in martial arts and in programming.
The Atlantic Canadian cities were never the size of places like Detroit, it's not a good comparison.
All of these services all seem to promote some sexy girl on their home page or ads, or whatever - so of course men will rush to it in droves.

If they don't want to fall in the same trap, how about promoting it as a service for both genders, but with a man in the ad, or at the very least a couple.
Why are people always talking about Americans? They seem to be pretty dumb...

Anyways, I strongly believe that as long as you living in a Western society it is your job to take care of your business.
If I am taking part in any System which I did not check up to see if it is secure, I am voluntarily taking the Risk of using the System.
I could for example set up an own E-Mail server, if I was coming to the Point that E-Mails are not secure enough on an external hoster. (If I searched for enough security related information about the "E-Mail" System.)
Easy: limit the supply of men but not women (e.g. let almost all women register, but only let the top x% of the men register). There's pretty much no gender-neutral solution (which is "ironic" since the service is supported by a feminist).

EDIT: The app appears to allow requests only if two profiles have been mutually selected as attractive, which would indicate that men need to spam those attractive buttons quite a lot..
this isn't true. it's 2013. women are having lots of sex, and they're on the internet. deal with it.

it's just that all the women are banging the same 10-20% of guys. the rest of the guys are not getting laid, except on rare occasion, or inside of relationships.

sex is a pareto distributed market.

long-term relationships / marriage are not.
