I assumed this, as soon as I realized they were using a branded dessert instead of a generic one.
My favourite part of it is how he pronounces portrait as "Pour Trait". It makes me wish I'd learned to speak English where they talk like that, or it at least makes me laugh.
They used to be packaged in paper and foil in the US as well. I haven't seen one in years though.
SF - I think you'll be more challenged out here. That's a good thing.
The original one does not get noticeably hot. I think there is some thermal dissipation in the case, like a chunk of heatsink.
Perhaps Amazon should offer a program where you demonstrate you have a physical copy (not purchased via Amazon) and get a digital copy for some reduced rate.
Hershey make them under license, but as with all hershey chocolate, they do not add milk or sugar, so it tastes horrible.
> Perhaps they would if they were criminalized.

But why would it be criminalized? For that to be justified it needs to be a drain on society in some significant way.

I don't support the current flawed war on drugs, especially forfeiture of property and imprisonment for users. I don't support a war on drugs that are essentially victimless, like on marijuana. I support the ideal war on drugs (one based on evidence to show that it does more good than harm).
> I'd seek criminal prosecution against the pushers who knew or should've known the drugs hurt much more than they help.

You would really prosecute the psychiatrists? Good for you.

"Rebecca Riley": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Riley

Quote: "Rebecca Riley (April 11, 2002 – December 13, 2006), the daughter of Michael and Carolyn Riley and resident of Hull, Massachusetts, was found dead in her home after prolonged exposure to various medications, her lungs filled with fluid. The medical examiner's office determined the girl died from "intoxication due to the combined effects" of prescription drugs. Police reports state she was taking 750 milligrams a day of Depakote, 200 milligrams a day of Seroquel, and .35 milligrams a day of Clonidine. Rebecca had been taking the drugs since the age of two for bipolar disorder and ADHD, diagnosed by psychiatrist Kayoko Kifuji of the Tufts-New England Medical Center."
In most companies, even small ones, you're only as good as your last successful project. Once you get hung up on your success, you'll lose your credibility and eventually the support of your management team.

It's a tough lesson to learn. Now that you've experienced it, it will serve you better in the long run and future run-ins with upper management.

Good post btw.
The shortcuts for CC and BCC help a lot with adding recipients.

Obviously that doesn't do much to solve the problem of it squeezing them all onto one line when you focus out if you're paranoid about recipients.
The convenience of having an ebook version of a $100 textbook would be worth a few bucks. Especially if I was still at Uni, lugging around 3-4 such books.

I frequently buy technical books for my business now, which requires that they be hardcopy (since I haven't found any way to share ebooks legally). Having the option to also get a softcopy licence would be incredibly useful.
You need examples?

Are we on the same website?
Wonderful answer, thanks! I'm a bit weary of using Tor (it may be an irrational fear, but I don't do anything that requires that level of encryption).

But as far as proxies are concerned, would a VPN be better of than some of the other methods (other than Tor)?
The cost for making a decent website are presumably negligible in the advertising budget of a global brand such as Kit-Kat. Not doing a site would require very high certainty that it's completely useless.
One of the worlds most evil companies made a funny website.
To be honest with you, don't let money be the deciding factor, at least with the offers you've presented.

A worthy developer, even at a startup, should be making 70-80k a year easy + equity.

If I were you and really wanted to move, I would get a better offer then move out.

Otherwise, moving to SF at the moment is a hassle and at that income you're looking at living far away from the action anyway.

Granted, there are other things to consider, but consider this just a point of view from the money side.

That said, I find that when people post questions like this, they aren't generally looking for advice. Rather, it sounds like you really want to move to SF and are just looking for encouragement. If that's the case, you'll probably end up moving here anyway so just get it over with ASAP :)
Clever, but the fact that "Kindle X" can now mean either a hardware product (Paperwhite) or a service feature (MatchBook) is confusing.
No,not soil certainly. But I remember my great disappointment when the entire Heechee series' ultimate mystery turned out to be - that superintelligent beings couldn't conceive of something a science fiction author could.
Send an e-mail to Jeff Bezos and ask if he'll honor that price :-)

It doesn't hurt to try. I've had great luck in the past when I e-mailed him. Just tell him that you're ready to buy it right now for $139.

I like my Kindle DX, but it the resolution is low and it makes it difficult to read magazine PDFs that I load on to it. It's great for reading regular books though.
What, their doctors? Criminal prosecution for people who prescribe morphine?
"And as for Bustle not having a public JSON API, well, here you go:
curl -H "Accept: application/json" http://www.bustle.com/api/v1/sections/home.json
A versioned JSON API that is guaranteed not to change. Can any public site on the internet guarantee that about its HTML?"

That's an interesting definition of "public JSON API" you are using.

* Where is the public documentation for this endpoint?

* Given an ember app, how do you arrive at that URL? (Previously you mentioned watching network requests from a browser to discover the URL endpoint, I think that's particularly unsuitable way of discovering a public JSON API)

* Where's the schema definition of that JSON blob?

That's as much a public JSON API as "curl http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Boullogne" is a public HTML API. And at least with the wikipedia one, there is some defined structure and implied meaning to the data coming back (i.e. standardised HTML elements).

"A versioned JSON API that is guaranteed not to change."

How is that guarantee enforced? What prevents a developer from changing the nature or structure of the response at that URL?

We'd have:

Rehab for getting women off of diet pills.

Same thing for truckers, just for a different reason.

And we'd read about students abusing diet pills to study with.
The one skill you are born with, that we won’t hire without
Yeah, but ask your father (or more realistically, anyone who has a book collection) if they'd trade all of their physical books for a kindle. The answer will almost alway be no, because there is a reason they've lugged those books around with them every time they've changed houses or gone on trips, because the physical artifact means something to them, and a eBook isn't going to cut it.
Did that make any great change in public consciousness? Obviously not.

It was Russia, not the US. If you aren't russian you are unlikely to have any idea how it went over.

But more generally, "small" terrorist attacks happen way more frequently than the big ones, I expect that is because they are easier to pull off. White power types kill a handful of people each year in the US but you don't hear about them if you aren't tuned in because (a) they aren't brown (b) they are small events.
Continuous Delivery Using Cloud Development Tools
Great point, thinking of it that way gives some insight into why Google may have changed the UI.
Link to the HN thread with email clients?
I am unable to understand the salary if we go by Infosys' stats

The for 7766 employees they are paying around 2 billion

Which means on an average they are paying 250k per candidate ?

Similarly Google the salary is around 360k

I do not think Infy and Google have that high salaries in US.
It's not just his dad. Watch Lassie or Leave it to Beaver or Andy Griffith and take notes on what was considered good wholesome parenting at the time. When I grew up in the 70s I'd say if anything the typical parent was even more hands-off. It was absolutely nothing like what is considered proper now.
See, they obviously shouldn't.

But it's not obvious. Lots of people disagree with you and consistently vote for draconian approaches to law enforcement, immigration etc. I know a lot of people that simultaneously think Obama's a wicked tyrant and that Civil War 2.0 is inevitable, and who are also heartily in favor of the death penalty, mass deportations of illegal immigrants, militarizing the border with Mexico, and (insert hardline view here).
It is actually not, I was wrong. It is an internal limitation on the bus that limits it to about 400 Mbps by default, some people have been able to squeeze a little more out of it. After that point though all kinds of issues start appearing. See the links provided in the discussion below.
Is this to encourage more YC applications from those groups?
That's interesting, I'll definitely research further. It's possible these improvements were because they criminalized it in a sub-optimal way, as the US does. That is, it's possible that an optimal war on hard drugs could lead to even bigger net benefits. Imagine if no users needed fear prosecution; that's one aspect of the war I'd wage.
Mine too, tga you should just update your browser and stop being a party pooper.
Quite the opposite. Hershey adds so MUCH milk and sugar that it's more of a slightly brown sugary mass than anything resembling real chocolate.
I go through this a lot too. I've bought books in ebook format that I've regretted, because I can't lend them easily. Conversely I've bought physical books which I wish were ebooks, because I don't reference them that often, and they're really wasting space. Not being limited to one or the other format would be great!

Although what happens when you buy the physical book, get the ebook for cheap, then on-sell the physical book? Seems like an open loop.
I am keen to set up an emulation box to play MAME - Gamecube or greater. I am not very knowledgeable on hardware... do you think this or the ODROID-XU would be better suited to the job? My understanding is that most emulators rely predominately on the CPU rather then the GPU, unlike most PC games.

I'm raising 5 of them in the States right now. I freely ignore most of these social mores. In our neighborhood my kids are among the most popular playmates. They actually went out and found friends so most of the children in the area know them. We don't trap them in the house and in fact frequently force them to leave so they aren't glued to the computer or Netflix.

We've had broken bones, cuts, scrapes and other injuries but they all know how to do limited first aid and are pretty cool in a crisis. I'm not worried about them at all.

My experiences are entirely anecdotal but it's an example showing that you don't have to feel trapped by those social mores.
Most of my Amazon print book purchases are from used book resellers like BetterWorldBooks. I wonder if this offer is available for all book purchases through their marketplace? If so, bravo! Finally, we're starting to get services that begin to match what our technology offers.

I'm a firm believer that people pirate not because "digital=free" in their minds, but because they know that getting sold hobbled products for the same price (even though they cost far less to distribute digitally) is a bum deal. It seems like the media industries are finally starting to recalibrate themselves.
Until the recent UI overhaul, you could add additional stopping points, and drag to reorder them. It made solving the traveling salesman problem... I mean planning circuitous routes easier.
The most impressive bit of THILI for me was the two cops that you saw ~15 years ago as young idealistic tough guys in a reality show, and now as jaded cynics who have mostly given up hope.

That is the biggest killer for using the Pi for any real file serving needs. If you have it reading from a USB HD and transferring a lot over the network it's pretty slow. You can tweak it a bit to improve the speeds, but it's really not designed for it.

Nice to see some models of this support sata.
Well, Hershey's doesn't seem to have individual domains for their candies. They own the domains, but they redirect to hersheys.com/product. That makes a bit more sense to me.
Google Maps used to do that.
Actually, that does happen, and IMHO for good reasons.

Indeed, it ran at a good 40-50fps for me.

Looking closer at the requestAnimationFrame callbacks, most frames required under 16ms, but every 20th frame required 120ms or more. Eliminate that slow frame and the game should have no problem reaching 60fps.

"The crux of it is Microsoft is not good at R&D today."

Where on earth did you hear that?

Both Nokia and Microsoft are known for producing high quality products and investing heavily in R&D. The don't have a technology problem, they've got a branding, positioning and strategic problem.

That's only an issue if you're building a general purpose OS that tries to target every ARM board out there. If you're just making a hobby OS on a simple device, then you don't really need to worry about it. In the x86 world it would be analogous to saying that you don't need to worry about writing an ACPI engine into your hobby OS.
I'm confused; where is the difference in revenue coming from if you're selling the same product to the same number of people on each platform?

A new way to order using Twitter
Awesome new startup that lets you order anything without ever leaving Twitter.
The first part does not warrant frustration that the issue is being covered. The first part alone should render you glad that the issue is now being given the attention it deserves.

The people who complain that it is now receiving attention are doing it, I think, out of frustration that they are not being adequately recognized for being ahead of the curve. They feel vindicated but they think that nobody notices that, so they lash out and complain about the wrong thing.

I see a parallel between this and David Simon's stance. He is upset that people are concerned about PRISM not because he has a good reason to be unconcerned about PRISM but because he wants that outrage reserved for his pet issue. He lashes out at the wrong thing; it should not concern him that people are concerned about PRISM, rather it should concern him that they are not also concerned about the War on Drugs.

(I picked the "upset at not being vindicated" example because it is a position I find myself tempted to take. I feel qualified to talk about the mentality behind it because I understand and resist the urge to adopt that mentality myself.)
Your translation seems to be oblivious to the fact that "the white male establishment" != "all white men". In fact, there are plenty of women and plenty of people of color who are a part of the white male establishment. And there are even plenty of white men who aren't a part of it! How can that be? Well, all it takes to be a part of it is to be an apologist for inequality or to otherwise perpetuate inequality.

So the reason why it can be referred to as the "white male establishment" isn't because of its membership, but because its existence is mainly for the benefit of white males.
I'm dubious that anybody that _truly_ values the tranquility of a nice quiet cafe by the sea makes much of a distinction when it comes to encroachment of superfluous technology (I lump both the iPad and Surface in that group) based solely on brand.

You have to admit how silly the following exchange between you and a nearby cafe patron would be if your scenario were actually articulated:

You: "Pardon me, would it bother you if I check my email and casually browse the web with my tablet?"

Cafe Patron: "Sure, go right ahea... oh, my mistake, I assumed that was an iPad, I'm sorry but that sort of device simply has no place here."
I still use the basic HTML client in many circumstances, esp. when tethering off my phone with limited reception:

Hm, I guess I meant more in terms of their involvement with the event at large. As far back as 2007 (http://web.archive.org/web/20070105191044/http://startupscho...), Startup School was run by YC along with BASES.

My only guess would be since they don't need a venue on Stanford's campus, they don't need help from BASES anymore, but I was just looking for someone to confirm.
As a meta-commentary on this category of issues, I tend to be against these sort of substance bans (PEDs[1] in sports is another timely example), and I often see that people who support such measures tend to talk about what things would be like if these substances were completely gotten rid of[2]. To me, this is complete fantasy because there's never been a substance ban that has been very effective at reducing usage of a popular substance, instead such bans simply create black markets out of open markets. But when there's this idea, mostly but not exclusively on the pro-criminalization side, that we can completely stamp out markets where there is inelastic demand through bans/criminalization and enforcement, then you get justifications for more and more extreme measures from the enforcement side. In reality though, we tend to see hugely diminishing returns accompanying these measures, and the numbers in the article demonstrate these diminishing returns well (i.e. the program is incredibly broad, yet the spoils being bragged about are incredibly paltry compared to the size of the related markets).

The assumption that bans/criminalization can significantly reduce demand for substances with inelastic demand is completely unreasonable given the track record of such measures. For example, demand for PEDs in professional sports is particularly inelastic because the rewards for even marginal increases in performance are so high and the penalties are so rare and low as to easily be subsidized by the increased salary resulting from use of PEDs, not to mention the cognitive and social biases that favor optimizing short-term over long-term performance.

In discussing such issues, I think that actual outcomes of previous and current banning/criminalization policies has to start being favored as the baseline effect of future policies rather than this pie in the sky idea that these sort of policies can have at or near 100% efficacy. Then perhaps we can move on from the inane moralizing that tends to accompany such discussions to a point where we can have results oriented discourse grounded in reality on these topics.

[1]Performance Enhancing Drugs, actually used more broadly to label all performance enhancing substances including human hormones and blood oxygenation.

[2]this really isn't a straw man, I've been involved in a few discussions in the last couple months in which the ban/criminalization proponents (about 4 or so different people) were arguing their position from the assumption that bans/criminalization can lead to reduction of substance usage to negligible levels.

Well the iPad weighs 1.3 lbs, and the Kindle weighs less than half a pound. Only the smallest paperback books are lighter than a small ereader.
> However the choices appear to be to completely upend the way the legal system and law enforcement handles investigations (which the people have voted against time after time), or to keep the systems that exist and tighten the oversight and transparency.

So lets say that War on Drugs reform is impractical as it would upend the legal system or whatever bullshit. I disagree, but lets go with it...

How does it follow that we should then make sure the shit is evenly spread on everybody? Is this the Harrison Bergeron school of social justice? We cannot stomach treating this segment of the population decently, so in order to make this fair, we are going to treat the rest of you like shit too?

I'm also tired of "I know I have that book here somewhere..." and then searching for hours for it. My back is tired of moving all those boxes of books. My nose is tired of the mildew smell from when they wicked up moisture from the basement floor. My (old) eyes are tired of squinting to read small print.

I welcome the advent of better and better ereaders.
That might work well if you're a known author or for buyers willing to spend time digging around but it doesn't help new authors reach a mass market.

Self publishing will have some sort of a positive impact on things but the reality is that large aggregators will still have a very significant role for discovery and in the mass market.
What is the negative affect they are having on authors? Isn't Amazon the reason we have access to such amazing new talents as Hugh Howey (Wool series)?

The ability to independently publish into an established marketplace is a pretty great boon for aspiring authors.
