It's been asked quite a few times already :) (I remember answering a few times before) and some links on the subject too.

One of my own recommendations is Dale Carnegie's How To Win Friends and Influence People.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influenc...

It's also Paul Graham's recommendation: he recommends it on Why Smart People Have Bad Ideas[1]"
If you want to learn what people want, read Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People. [1] When a friend recommended this book, I couldn't believe he was serious. But he insisted it was good, so I read it, and he was right. It deals with the most difficult problem in human experience: how to see things from other people's point of view, instead of thinking only of yourself."

Well there's this:

> What about clinical studies?
> Clinical studies will be published soon, showing the same
> dramatic improvements in plaque-removal and overall oral
> hygiene that our inhouse testing and usage by
> our first customers have already been showing.

That's not quite how science works.

But it's nice to see engineering geeks getting into the medical quackery business.

Also:

> It lasts 1 year - you receive a refurbished one (professionally cleaned and all bristles brandnew) for 89.

So it's even more expensive to maintain than an electric toothbrush, which can also be shared among multiple users with different bristle heads.
I'm very excited about this. The 6 second thing would be a Godsend for my 5 year old, who I spend 90 seconds every night brushing his teeth for him, trying to stave off more tooth decay on his teeth (bad teeth run in my family). I feel guilty about only doing 90 seconds, and he hates that we even do that long. This would be huge for our evening routine, and maybe for his long term tooth health (baby tooth health can effect adult tooth health)

I'm disappointed at the $500/person price tag. ($300 plus dental impressions), but I'm still really thinking about this for him and for me.
This is a cool idea and the execution is slick too, but I'd like to know more about anonymity and privacy of both content and search results.

I'm talking about both the privacy of cloud notes, and of the explicit searches when terms are selected with the mouse for a narrow search.

People often take notes about things that are private or personal, and this is explicitly creating a historical association between your thoughts and (public) web searches on those thoughts.

You normally think of notes as a self-contained thing (even if the container is in the cloud), while this is broadcasting your note terms to third parties as you compose them.

I can't find a privacy policy link. So I'd like to know more.

I'm pretty confused about this. I thought the ACA plans through the exchanges don't take effect until January (or later?). So do you need to buy a plan now on the exchange? And then buy a separate plan to cover you until then?
Modern advice is to brush before eating. You clean the teeth so stuff doesn't stick to them. Brushing after eating brushes when your teeth are being attacked by acid.

(http://www.nhs.uk/Livewell/dentalhealth/Pages/Teethcleaningg...)

> When should I brush my teeth?

> Brush your teeth for at least two minutes in the morning before breakfast and last thing at night before you go to bed.

> Never brush your teeth straight after a meal as it can damage your teeth, especially if you've had fruit, fizzy drinks, wine or any other food that contains acid.

> This is because tooth enamel is softened by the acid and can be worn away by brushing. Instead, wait an hour after a meal before brushing your teeth to give your saliva chance to neutralise the acid.

Obviously, I'm not a dentist and nothing I say is meant to replace anything an actual dentist tells you.
Why are HSA's gone?
What Caused the Spike?
My dentist told me that the most important part of brushing wasn't the technique or type of brush, but the time. The two minutes of fluoride contact is the most important part of the process, and this product removes that.
Thank you for that comment. You're 100% correct. However, it again shows that it's important to distinguish between theory and practice:

IF your model is correct, the traffic jam will clear since everybody will at some point reach their desired speed of approx ~80mph again. However, the reality is differnt. The model doesn't work since people break. That's the thing that makes your "deductive thinking practice" break down: People break. To prevent this....

The semantic search part is pretty limited atm, because we have to build (more or less guess) entities that form a good Yahoo BOSS query. Thinking about adding more data sources, whhere we can do basic but full vector space magic. Signing up gives you 100 more searches, and you can also select words/sentences/paragraphs to limit the search while playing.

Doesn't seem to be updated since August. Is it a scraper, or do you enter the jobs manually?
The best time to push is the middle of the day of any weekday, possibly when there's a lot of traffic. You'll immediately figure out if there are problems and should already have the setup to revert or have enough tests to know that the basic functionality will be working.

If you push at any other time you'll end up not having any power on finding out when stuff is wrong. Friday or weekend pushes are an absolute bad idea most of the time.
The time it takes for an activity accounts for part of the "cost" of the activity. The lower the cost, the higher the chances of people carrying it out. It's not just about how much time it saves, it may make some people who are on the fence do more regarding oral hygiene.

There are some orbital mechanics problems. You can't "steer" in orbit. Shoving down at any sane rate results in going up half an orbit later. The best place to blow it up would be in front of it. A couple hundred m/s is all it takes in some cases.

There's a free windows only game called Orbiter under continuous (ish) development since early 2000s. Its informative about the weird truths of orbital dynamics. Several years ago I went thru a phase of flying between Jupiters moons for fun.

There's probably a startup idea in creating what amounts to a E6B for orbital mechanics. The problem is making it elegant and easy to use. Anybody can open matlab/octave/mathematica/whatever and say "just enter a bunch of equations". I'm not sure the MFDs in orbiter are the wave of the future either. And its easy to get sucked into the trap of making it too simple for the .edu market such that it can't actually simulate anything. Its a hard problem. Maybe more for a PHD project because I'm mystified how to monetize.
BTW, this was built on Rails with some help from d3js.org.

And the police have them. And the US government has (flew there twice) them. Isn't the "something you have" in 2FA ideally meant to be something that only you have?
Hi sanskrit, thanks for the feedback.

If I was implementing this in production I certainly would apply some sort of window function. However this blog post was mostly just to show some cool code, and ease of reading was my first constraint. Notice also how I kept intermediate arrays around in my functions. This uses more memory but is easier to read.

In the end this approach doesn't seem to scale to the amount of data Shazaam must be processing so it's all moot anyway.
Do we really need another HTML5 authoring app? 
Yesterday Google released the beta version of its newest project: Web Designer.Announced earlier this year, Web Designer is a visual tool for building HTML5 adverts; although one suspects Google’s ambitions for the application are much wider, given that it’s not named ‘Google Ad Builder’.Web Designer is, at first glance, a promising piece of software, but I question whether we really need yet another tool for building HTML5 content.

It's not a username. It's a fingerprint.

Usernames are how we indicate an identity to a computer. (Note "an" identity; identities do not one-to-one map to humans.) Identity is what we are trying to establish in the first place; if we simply knew you were authorized to use an identity we wouldn't need auth in the first place. Having a matching fingerprint is evidence that an authorized user is authorized to use that identity. Knowing a username is not. They are not the same thing. Fingerprints are not perfect auth, but they are auth of a sort; usernames aren't auth at all.

Not all communication can be async, for example for brainstorming or getting a complicated point across the instant feedback is very important.

That's like saying gas is a basic need for a car to move, so car insurance should cover gas. You are emphasizing exactly the problem that is at the base of all current healthcare debacle - medical "insurance" is no longer an insurance - probably wasn't for quite some time - it is a byzantinely complex system of payments for various services with wildly varied degrees of necessity, and significantly based on political considerations.

>>> You should also cover things that are preventative so that people don't end up needing catastrophic coverage.

Some people will end up needing catastrophic coverage, that's what it is for. But what you are saying people should not have a choice between buying only catastrophic coverage and managing other issues according to their current financial needs and abilities - possibly, yes, taking some limited risk on themselves - and buying comprehensive, but more expensive full-care all-included package. That would make it more expensive for those who were willing to take the risk, since this risk would be taken now by insurance company, and they will want to get paid for it, risk-shifting is never free.

>>> Paying for someone to see a therapist and take an anti-depressant is cheaper than paying for inpatient treatment if things spiral out of control.

Paying for car maintenance is cheaper than buying a new one. Yet nobody says car insurance should pay for routine car maintenance - those are different things, and people manage to take care of their cars just fine without car insurance paying for it. You're again confusing healthcare and health insurance and seem to be under impression that the only way to administer healthcare is under the umbrella of all-encompassing "insurance" policy. My point is exactly that it is not true, and that ACA moving in this direction makes it more expensive, especially for people that otherwise would like to take a bit more risk than average person in order to allow them to profit later. Those exactly people are entrepreneurs, so the claim that ACA makes them better off sounds a bit doubtful for me.

From the article:
"Basically, a publisher gets paid only if a reader chooses one of its particular books — and it only gets paid in full if the book is read in full."

Sounds like it's free to browse, but the publisher gets paid if the book is actually read. I assume that publishers would pay authors at whatever rate they were already paying for ebooks.

I quite like the notes aspect. Good job!

The search feature is a total miss for me however. What problem is it solving? I already have Google, I don't need subpar search built into my notes app.

And searching automatically on highlighted text seems particularly confusing. I quite often highlight text while writing, not intending to make searches in the sidebar. It also took me too long to realize search results were being appended at the end of the list, not at the top.

The search text is also confusing. "All loaded, keep going." Say what now?

Using the same small piece of floss for all your teeth actually spreads bacteria, etc. throughout your mouth, causing all the things you're trying to avoid by flossing in the first place.

Citation needed; I've heard this one before, and I just don't buy it. I've always believed (perhaps wrongly) that flossing was meant to remove food debris the bacteria lives off of that a toothbrush can't get to.

Dentists & hygienists never floss two sets of teeth with the same piece of floss. (And yes, they go through a crap-ton of floss.)

Maybe my hygienist is doing it wrong, but she uses very little floss and uses the same piece for multiple tooth gaps.
