Don't buy cheap bacon? I can get hand-cut bacon at my grocery store that looks a lot better than the bacon you posted in your first picture.

America's food politics create strange ripples around our food economy which make buying locally or more healthy seem difficult or irrational, because the price of bad food that has traveled a long way is artificially deflated.
OP, if you chose the current title for your HN submission you should be aware that in some countries "Fuck Ya" will be read as "Fuck You". I think you mean "Fuck Yeah"?
Probably. Church's and families are "authority" and have a "hierarchy". Respect the church, respect your elders. The organizations generally have rules and procedures. You might need to pay to be apart, or there might be other restrictions.

Liberals don't see the state as an authority, but rather, the community. After all, the people you are working with are literally neighbors, locals, friends. This also works with my own experience in dealing with getting state services for my children. The people we deal with come to the house, work with us, and are our equals. They form a community of people.
Which is of course how it should be; what use is a party that does not represent the people?
I've never heard someone talk about MAOIs in isolation before. You do realize the point of these is to affect other drugs right?
I third the sprites idea, that's where you should focus on the most if you haven't done so already since it decreases the total number of requests to the server and that's one of the big bottle-necks on the browser.
Thanks in part to humanity's over use of fossil fuels, the northwest passage is now open for commerce.

The first cargo ship to make it unaided through the passage carries a load of coal.

It's sad and funny.
MiCarga cofounder here. We wanted to tell our story, in a format that suited our position right now. It is an experiment, and we are fully aware that it may not be the right format for every investor. Regardless, we wanted a space to tell our story in more detail, and start better conversations with the right investors.

PS: We will update everyone in our progress.

I'd say so. If you look at the sample Portal 2 Bindings [1] the labels on the bottom seem to pointing underneath the controller and in the disassembly image [2] there seems to be another button-looking piece in front of the bottom portion.

I wonder what the data looks like when you account for the fact that our biggest, densest cities also have huge minority populations which vote democrat for reasons that have little to do with population density.
It's before my time, but my impression was that both TECO and EMACS originated as teletype line editors (as with ed and ex, the direct predecessors to vi), and were only later adapted to fancy new screen terminals. Am I mistaken?
Yes. What's wrong with the idea?

Belief in global warming can really only come down to belief in the experts, especially the IPCC.

Let's transfer this claim to another domain: "Belief in how to best organize our economy for prosperity can only come down to belief in the experts, particularly Wall Street investment bankers." Does it still seem reasonable? (And, btw, I suspect you may not have meant that you think belief in the experts is a good thing; if so, I'm giving another reason for not thinking it is.)

Also, it's easy for people to believe in experts that say things they want to hear; not so easy to believe in experts who say things they don't want to hear. How well are the experts in biology doing in convincing creationists to accept the theory of evolution? (Which, by the way, is much better supported scientifically than any theory about how the climate works.)

The plain fact is that you can't trust experts. You can't trust anyone. You also can't verify every single fact for yourself. There is no magic formula that will guarantee that we can get the right answers.

There may not even be any right answers. With regard to climate change, even if we accept for the sake of argument some particular set of predictions about how the climate will change, there will still be plenty of disagreements about whether that change is good or bad. China and India don't seem to care much that they are pumping CO2 into the atmosphere by building new coal-fired power plants like gangbusters. If we in the US decide to emasculate our economy in order to "prevent" global warming, all we may end up doing is making ourselves into a much poorer country while China prospers.
Agreed, in my mind I like to picture republican areas like the "King of the Hill" cartoon. All really nice & sociable people, just have a few opinions that differ from my own only because of different life experiences. Also, the areas that see the most foreigners will give more points of view to consider. I'd like to see political-affiliation related to distance from a major airport.
We tend to know the same number of people total, so when you're in a more densely populated area, you're dividing the same number (or even a larger number) by a much, much larger number of people around you. Maybe it's not that people in small towns are more social; they just have a smaller pool.
I didn't realize this until someone else mentioned it today. Thanks for bringing it up, very cool.
If that statement were true, we will never see a republican government in the USA again. Considering the fact that more people live in cities than don't, and this percentage of people has only been rising for the past century: http://www.theguardian.com/news/datablog/2009/aug/18/percent...
>I seem unable to get other people to see what I see here. Most people seem to just not get it.

I've thought this for a long time. I was even going to cover it in a "computer issues for regular people" book.

EDIT: Cover it in one, not as one, there's a lot more material than that.
Exactly... There's very few people left who are getting paid under market.

Google alone has 900 recruiters who scour the entire world with an open checkbook for the best talent, while offering some of the highest comp packages in the industry.
So I got to the page, and read the overall blog title, and thought the article was going to go a different way.

Was pleased that it turned out so well, sounds like a great idea -- I know there are companies (for example the one that recently was on the shark tank tv show) that are looking in this space, and I think the process that you've just pointed out is way easier than what they offer

Small nitpick - Twilio does offer MMS, but you have to have a shortcode in US: https://www.twilio.com/mms

It's a hefty monetary commitment, so for the purposes of this story Twilio does not offer something compelling, but if you have the $$$ it's a solid service.
there have been studies discussing density of population and rising mental illness rates in rats & mice. I wonder if the two are connected?
I don't doubt that this controller design likely won't cut it for precision FPS play. On the flipside, however, having a giant keyboard, plus a mousemat taking up space (and to work well, a mouse needs a significant amount of space) and flopping around when people sit up and down on the couch may work for hardcore gamers, but it's likely a non-starter for anyone else. Even if you integrated the mouse so it could be on your lap, it would still be a large ugly thing that's likely to fall down and is hard to use in many of the relaxed positions people are used to gaming in.
Things You Can Build with Stremor's Natural Language Processing Tools and APIs
Because at some point, Valve is about making money, and people don't buy consoles and attach them to their tv with mouse and keyboard en masse. If they did, this wouldn't exist.

If you want/need to sell something in the millions, it kind of needs to be least common denominator. Gamers understand controllers as the basic interface for tv gaming, so they will buy them.

Gamers don't buy keyboards to put on their TV's so Valve is being smart by not forcing a square peg in a round hole. They want the Steam Machines to sell. A mouse and keyboard won't sell.
The first one won't load for me. The second is a map, IMO... as it contains "physical features" like the train tubes, wheelchair ramps, bathrooms, etc

As a present-day Urban Libertarian, who grew up as a Rural Conversative (in name) with some Liberal tendencies (eg, I was a Libertarian all along, but didn't know it, because I didn't know the term), this seems fairly reasonable to me. More urban areas tend to attract people from lots of different places, and you get a blending of worldviews and ideas, which - from what I've seen - has a generally "liberalizing" effect (using "liberal" here in the "classical liberal" sense, not necessarily anything to do with modern day Democrats). So I find that urban areas tend to have more "modern liberal" / "democrat" types, AND more Libertarians, than more traditionally conservative / rural areas. I think you also see a lot of "small l" libertarians in more rural areas, who are very libertarian but maybe don't describe themselves that way for one reason or another.
Hi! This is an experiment we decided to run since we want to get this out to as many people as we can. Our network of investors is mainly based in LatAm and it's too small so this is our way of getting it out to the public.

It's long and detailed because we're tired of "elevator pitches", we want interested people to know as much as they can about our company and what we're aiming for. We feel this is more responsible (you as an investor know upfront what you're dealing with) and it's more time-efficient (we don't have to spend 20 minutes explaining what we do at the beginning of every call (that's actually BS, we still have to do this :P)).
As a conservative I find it ridiculous when liberals talk of fascist police while pushing to limit civilian gun rights. We can make straw men all day.

Regardless of arguing against caricatures of the 'other' side. I think a majority of Americans could agree on a majority of issues. The problem is the gamesmanship of politics.
"For example Somalia has long claimed that ships going through the Suez canal are passing through their territory"

But most console players dont want to use their KB + mouse in the living room, it just doesnt feel right. I know i wouldnt, and i love playing PC games with keyboard and mouse..but if im playing a serious FPS that needs decent KB+ mouse controls i do that on my desk, on the couch i would just be crippled.
Anyway this isnt really their market, they want to make PC games playable in the living room for the masses, which would be a huge achievement if this works.
You tend to be libertarian if you think you rely on your own skills and you think what you do as an individual has no effect on the individuals around you.

There is the joke "A conservative is a liberal who has been mugged"

One could add: "A liberal is a conservative who just lost their health insurance"

or "A liberal is a libertarian whose neighbor just blocked their waterfront view"
IOMMU with VT-d is present, but not utilized by some major commercial operating systems and hypervisors.

Thanks for your thoughts here. You break things down in a really easy to understand way and you have a good writing style. I don't usually make it to the end of articles this long, but your information is clear, concise, and useful.

I'm launching a product right now (that uses RethinkDB!) and I'm going to put some more thought into differentiating between "this would be a cool feature" and "90% of people would kill for this feature." Very good idea on the mission statement too.
"I don't understand" is an idiom in which the user feigns ignorance in order to paint an opinion as so irrational that the only explanation for it being held must be some unknown mitigating factor. With the holder of the opinion typically absent, no such mitigating factor is offered, and through a kind of proof by contradiction, the user hopes to score a victory for his opposing viewpoint without having to actually come up with any arguments.
Happy GNU Day
It may be that coming in contact with many people you don't know builds a different outlook than dealing mainly with people you do.
Sure, however you are still speaking of a specific implementation.
Have you tried the pry gem? It gets you 90% there and is a useful interactive repl for things outside of iterators.
Keep in mind that a successful product for a market does not necessarily equate to a high quality product.

I know what you mean, but I'm pretty convinced that it's not fruitful to make this distinction when building products. To quote George Orwell's response to Tolstoy's critique of Shakespeare "Ultimately there is no test of literary merit except survival, which is itself an index to majority opinion."

This sounds awesome. Can I ask how you go about getting shipping details, etc from the sender if they simply give you a name? Is there more to it?
So I think that people often make landing pages for this kind of thing.

Generally, you should be able to trust your decisions, but if you have an idea that you think would be a great service (a good indicator of this is real life need -- if you needed this thing, chances are someone else wants it too), you can make something like a landing page with a short walk through on how it works (or how it WILL work) and throw that out there, post it on the relevant forums and places, and see what comes of it.

OF course, if it's something that YOU personally need, you using it is the best indicator
You can have a laid back, more clutter-free experience with a controller in front of a TV - and the TV experience is meant to be laid back, anyway.

>You don't need to know Java to write Scala

Is this actually true in practice? Are there tutorials or books that don't assume knowledge of Java? In any case, if you want to use anything in the Java standard library (I assume they haven't converted the entire thing to Scala), then you'll still need to understand Java documentation which requires some knowledge of Java.
It lines up in some ways, not in others.

Liberals are known for their high fertility rate as well as their opposition to abortion to ensure the highest number of offspring.

Likewise the conservative obsession with childhood nutrition, education and welfare lines up well with their high-investment child-rearing instinct.

Sarcasm aside the infinite/scarce resource division seems like an interesting one to observe. See also the forager/farmer distinction[0].

Why don't we have laws that are based on population density? Why don't we have mathematical formulas written in to the law itself?
I've never understood the staunch support of a political party to the extent that you label yourself one or the other. Is it really like that - people go out of their way to identify as a party member?

Is it not a hindrance in finding common ground and working together?

On this side of the pond, I find that people "support" a party, rather than consider themselves a member of one (even if they are).
TRESOR still leaves all the code and data exposed in memory. You can modify the code that's being executed in order to divulge the contents of the debug registers.

We're working on solving the malicious device and cold boot problem at PrivateCore. To do so, we're encrypting all of main memory and keeping plaintext state in the L3 cache.

Here's a resource page with links to the TRESOR paper and other resources:

I think a big barrier is the netsec defense in depth / reduce surface area dogma. There's this massive cargo cult of the firewall in security circles, and if you suggest removing a firewall everyone freaks out and calls you an idiot.

Of course most malware and other attacks today bypass the firewall using "pull" based vectors like HTTP and e-mail, but try telling people that. Remotely exploitable "pushable" vulnerabilities are rare these days on stock OSes too, but again try telling people that.

And by firewall in this context I am referring to middle-box firewalls, not local firewalls. The latter are under the control of a box's user/OS and so can easily be opened to permit lateral communication. Middleboxes are the structural culprit here.
Snus is still a mess that involves spitting. I prefer nasal snuff, to the extent I use anything. It can be totally discrete, even to someone right next to you as you take a pinch. You just have to blow and wipe your nose about 20 minutes after a pinch. Alternatively, a small pinch of certain finely ground and dry nasal snuff can be taken in the mouth like snus, but it still doesn't involve spitting. Swish it around your mouth for a couple minutes and then swallow.
Conservative churches (let's be honest most churches tend to be conservative) and the traditional family tend to be hierarchical, which lends itself to an authoritarian mindset.

It's funny you describe liberals as relying on authority and hierarchies - I'm reminded of a quote from Will Rogers "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat." Ask liberals about this, and you'll get a bunch of laughs and nods… they even pride themselves on not exactly have the same point of view as each other, much less "leadership".
Understanding markets is an order of magnitude harder than understanding products (at least to me), and is probably more important.

I think this point gets lost all too often. It is a subtle but critical difference: a product guy can only do so much if you've picked the wrong sub-market.

Then there is the whole thing about what even constitutes a market. People refer to healthcare as a market. But healthcare has a few death trap sub-markets where you are just spinning your wheels and not likely to succeed. And then there are submarkets where you can building a half-assed product and still get traction.

Honestly, this has been the biggest learning lesson for me: that markets operate at a very micro level for startups. Too bad it isn't emphasized enough by folks preaching the whole pick-the-right-market idea.
I don't see how my right thumb could be as precise as moving the mouse, which I do with all 5 of my fingers (for tiny movements) or from my shoulder (for larger movements). If thumb touchpads were good for FPS games, how come nobody is playing them with their thumb on their laptop's touchpad? Maybe I'm just old, but I don't see myself ever being able to use this.
"If you live close to a large number of strangers, you're probably a Democrat."

"If you know many members of local government personally, you're probably a Republican."
it's the first one, I think, mine had a red cover.
Conservatives tend to claim their ideology comes from an invisible, all-powerful deity. They claim that they are the true representatives of THE authority.

So, no.

I don't get that argument either. My main case for the eraser-nub-mouse is that I don't have to physically move my finger over and over again. It goes like this, put finger in one corner, drag finger, reach end of touch surface, lift finger, put finger again on the opposite side, drag again... until you reach destination.
The line between "Republican" and "Democrat" moves, which is why it tends to be so close to 50% (all things considered) for so long. If the line becomes lopsided in one direction or the other, the parties shift.

Exactly, the smaller number of total people results in meeting people you know more often. This is exactly what happens.

I wasn't trying to imply that rural people are different, merely that the setting creates more opportunities to have social interaction.
I've observed something kind of similar, although in my view, the axis is, if you rely on abstracted rules and disembodied systems and institutions, you tend to be liberal, whereas if you rely on much more on tightly shared unstated norms and cultural expectations, you tend to be conservative.

If you live in a dense, cosmopolitan city, you need local government to make sure that all those diverse transient strangers around you are coordinating their lives properly through the shared explicit protocol of secular government.

If you live in a distant suburb, on the other hand, it's not the cops that make you feel safe, its the fact that most people around you look and dress like you do, water their lawns, go to church, and generally display themselves publicly exhibiting the norms of your community. But of course, you better be exhibiting those norms too.

Market rate = Zero. In practice recruitment consultants will be taking 20% or more of first year salary, but that's from the employer and is therefore not net of income tax, and possibly not net of salary brackets, for employers that have them. More importantly the job seekers are able to take the recruiters' advice (for what its worth, which may be nothing) and go and find their own job through their own efforts and not owe anything.

There are companies and individuals that make a living from commissions paid by employees for getting the job, and there are probably individuals that would benefit from getting paid career consultancy, but when the competition is free at the point of sale it's not an easy market to get into.
