"New study confirms Oreos are basically the cookie form of cocaine" is misleading (and not the original title "Oreos May Be As Addictive As Cocaine")

Anyway, the comparisons performed in the quoted study: preference over plain rice and amount of time spent in Oreo region (vs Morphine/Cocaine etc) seems a shaky correlation at best. Does addictiveness necessarily require withdrawal symptoms? If yes, the study seems to lack it any mention of it [1].

It is wrong. The links you provide seem to be more accurate.
I write software that deals with monitoring power (powerhouse dynamics). We have customers in a lot of states, and to estimate their costs they have to input the cost per/kWh.

In the US power costs usually between 8-12 cents per kilowatt hour. There are extra costs if your commercial which can add 10-20%.

We've found that power cost, especially commercial power is oddly hard to estimate with "demand charges" and rates varrying with time...
There are a few companies compiling this cost data in detail which we'll likely be buying soon.
There is no peer review here. There isn't even an article. There is just a poster someone is going to present at the Society for Neuroscience meeting in a month [1] and a press release with a ridiculous headline. To put things in perspective, there are approximately 10,000 posters at SfN, and a large proportion of them never lead to a published paper.

Several reasons. The biggest is what netmask to use. 192.168.x.x was originally a class C (/24) and the default netmask to use is that resulting in the least number of problems.

With 10.x.x.x, the original was class A (/8) but it is extremely unlikely you want that as the netmask. Other guesses could be wrong.

Additionally because of its size, it is likely used in corporate networks. This would cause grief with vpns if both your local network is 10.x.x.x and the corporate vpn is 10.x.x.x.

> Given that so much software requires installing the JVM, or CLR/Mono run-time, or widget toolkit, or even is specific to an operating system, is it really that much to ask that users install a certain browser which literally runs on any OS, is free and open-source, and can be installed in seconds/minutes?

13 years ago this was not the case. That was my point. At that point, few alternative browsers existed, and Netscape had just released a bloated undesirable release.

Nowadays, the PC itself is a fortress under siege, and Windows only runs on 30-ish percent of all PC/tablets. Webkit is ascendant, and IE persists in being difficult for developers. Now is the time to code for Webkit or HTML5 compliance.

LTC GPU mining makes more sense. Right about when BTC ASICs started to appear, there was a thread in bitcointalk that LTC GPU mining made about 30% more than BTC at the time, so commercial miners were switching over.
If one has a good relationship with their parents, then they are likely one of the closest bonds and strongest links in his/her social support system. Thus it makes biological sense to foster this connection. Humans have strong social needs, and generally don't do well if they are neglected.

Einzelunternehmer is if you have eggs like Anton Schlecker who had 36000 employees as an e.K. (Eingetragener Kaufmann) without any legal umbrella.

I would say for IT: Either go Freiberuflich, or GmbH. Freiberuflich has the benefit of easier book keeping, lower tax (no Gewerbersteuer), and the drawback of liability and that you must not sell things (e.g. computers, or of the shelf software), but only own code or design. GmbH has the drawback that you need to do real book keeping, and likely need a Steuerberater.

The GbR is the default to avoid. One can do it as single founder, as long as there is no risk. But once you have more founders go for a different form.

>>More weight and poor gear ratios = hell for the cyclist.

>>Stress the ease of hot-swapping that wheel in even more than you are now. This is a major selling point.

These points are really crucial. A true pedal assist is something that can assist you while it can, and then not make it difficult for you to pedal when it can't.

Besides, I feel this market has immense potential you could do amazing things with a good control system on that smart wheel. And probably some day even an ECU.

That's not a bold claim...hundreds of pundits have said exactly the same thing. Not only do you not have a reputation to maintain, but you have chosen a completely conspicuous comment section to make the claim, ensuring that nobody cares enough to track down your comment 10 years from now.

Funnily enough, there is one Exec whose 40 year strategy is almost identical despite radically different markets and tactics...namely the "reinvest until you are blue in the face" strategy. You may have heard of him, his name is Warren Buffet. Bezos has the advantage that with his company, he doesn't have to realize any profits.
1. I'm not so sure about that. According to the most recent financial statement[1], AMZN hasn't generated much in the way of net cash from operations over the past 12 months. Worse yet, they're spending an amount in excess of that on investments (some of which is really capitalized operating expense, like internal software development, that companies like MSFT expense directly). In fact, for the 12 months ended 6/30/2013, the only reason ending cash was greater than beginning cash was because they undertook financing transactions (selling stock, issuing debt, etc.) See the section that discusses "free cash flow," which is in itself a non-GAAP measure, as it omits non-avoidable expenses like operating lease payments, principal repayments on debt, etc. In other words, even that measure doesn't really represent distributable cash.

2. Unlike SaaS companies that sign multi-year contracts as their main source of revenue, the vast majority of Amazon's revenue is products, for which revenue is recognized almost immediately. Over time, then, the cash the company collects should roughly correspond to its GAAP income, unless services that are paid up-front for consumption over time increase as a % of its revenue (e.g., reserved instances, annual subscription fees, etc). In other words, it is unlikely to profitlessly generate cash; the two should rise or fall together.

3. Amazon is a fearsome competitor. But ORCL makes vastly more money. In fact, when Walmart's revenues were the size Amazon's are today (in the early 80s, roughly, adjusting for inflation), it was far more profitable then than Amazon is today--despite having to operate stores and truck fleets.

There is usually a process to introduce new software into the environment. This process can, depending on the rigidity of the environment, take from a few month to years and involves all kinds of hand-offs by various departments. A top of the head list of things that are considered:

- Security
- Retraining
- Support
- Deployment (can we roll this out centrally?)
- (various things I've forgotten at the moment)

This assumes you have the political clout to initiate such a change. Quite often it is part of the requirements which are defined before there is a project ("We have foo, your software has to run on it") and you cannot influence that.

And if one or more of the mentioned parties is actively hostile to you (sometimes only one person who doesn't like you for whatever reason is enough) this can take much, much longer. Or doesn't happen at all.
You hit the nail on the head here, I can't afford to (nor do I want to) reach end users - that's why the system integrators are key, and I know they want a good solid solution to offer.

Thanks for putting a unique angle on your point, that helps reinforce my feeling on who I should be talking to. Its the same way I sell system architecture and development services - through designers who need it. Keeps me from dealing with end users who have no idea what I'm doing back there. (during the sales process at least) ;D
Perhaps better than mainstream, ad-supported commercial counter, but that's hardly the gold standard. "Not as terrible as those who go whoring for ad dollars" isn't a ringing endorsement.

State-funded is not terribly far off, either: if funding depends to any real degree on the political climate, then the conflicts are unavoidable.

The line between state-owned and state-controlled is incredibly thin, and is only one catastrophe away from being wiped out.

She really isn't. Her efforts at Google, especially as time went on, were increasingly mediocre, and at Yahoo she's proven to be little different.

What she has going in her favor is that Yahoo was mismanaged to an utterly stunning degree before her time. I don't doubt that a more sensible approach is going to do net-good things for them.

But there's just no way she's going to be included in the same chapter of history as the other names given.

The Biggest Scam In The History Of Mankind
I know criticizing attorneys is a fashionable pastime, but your comment is neither informed nor creative. I know it may come as a shock, but attorneys make a lot more money structuring, negotiating and drafting agreements than they do advising clients not to enter into them.

This said, the type of advice that I was referring to pertains to legal compliance and best practices in the context of running a business. Example:

1. An employer is advised by counsel that it must or should keep certain records.

2. It, for whatever reason, fails to do so.

3. As a result of its failure, it is fined, or is less able to defend itself in a lawsuit.

This sort of thing happens. Every single day. The only thing being taken to the bank is money that employers never had to part with in the first place.
Sounds like the discs in your back are under a lot of pressure. Change your posture immediately to try and avoid a chronic condition. If you're using a laptop, then you might need to raise the screen and have a separate keyboard. Try an exercise ball, it's harder to slump in (for me anyway).

The weight of the bike doesn't matter. A 20 pound bike plus a 200 pound rider is about the same as a 30 pound bike plus a 200 pound rider. You're the heavy part, not the bike. (People complain about citibikes being too heavy, but I rarely get passed even on a citibike, so my guess is the problem's the rider, not the bike.)

Also, I don't think a quick release will work for this. The motor needs to push against the bike in order to move the wheel relative to the bike. A quick release will slip.
This problem is more to with technology than acceptability of e-bikes. The situation is like people complaining there is no demand for touch screen phones and they won't take off. And Apple comes along and shows them the iPhone.

The fact is you need to do it right. And its not just about the pedal assist. You need good battery performance, long lasting battery life and efficient motors. At the other end you need a good control system on board, which might more or less function as an ECU. When the pedal assist is no longer functioning or dead, its weight and friction shouldn't become a burden on the cyclist.

In all, if you look at it you are looking for an amazing electric driven engine of sort with a sound control system on board. I don't think people are putting too much mind into that. We are where cars where in 18th century.

These are the kind of projects which help local commute a lot. If you are commuting frequently to pick up groceries, or drive up to the local park for a jog, or anything local for that matter. You absolutely don't have to use your car, or your motor cycle. This would do.

We are just not doing it right, may be we are not serious about it. But someday, someone will come along as give something so awesome. We won't be able to resist ourselves to using it.
“Some of the least travelled people I’ve ever met have been to 100 countries,
or even as high as 170 countries — what they do is fly between major cities
and especially capital cities, stop off in the airport or take a hotel for the
night, and then say that they’ve ‘done’ such and such country,” said Bown,
speaking with the Sun via Facebook.

“To my view, such people are passengers, not travellers.”

Well, at least you agree the Hezbollah analogy is a stretch. Not sure I buy the opsec argument, or I don't understand it. Maintaining anonymity in this context doesn't seem very hard, although I may be naive there. Satoshi isn't an assassin in a high-profile paramilitary organization (so far as we know!) He doesn't have those kinds of people looking for him, the ones with extensive network taps, long histories of surveilling specific targets, and a drive to get answers even at high cost and legal/moral/diplomatic jeopardy. Or at least I doubt any law enforcement, natsec, or spy agencies thought much of this post[1] at the time, if they weren't the poster.

Of course there are more mundane slipups than the ones you mentioned, such as letting a traceable IP address into the email path log, etc. It just seems pretty easy to avoid those, and thus easy to avoid detection from people that are merely good researchers, as opposed to wide-scale network surveillers and crackers.

Bottom line, to borrow a point from sibling poster csomar, look at the trail that led to Ross Ulbricht (at least the one they're feeding the public, that doesn't involve NSA surveillance and cracking.) I believe ultimately he blew his cover by using his real name in a Gmail address. (He also recycled a pseudonym in multiple contexts that allowed investigators to link the little clues in each context together.. I guess Satoshi did that too, although arguably without such obvious clues.) It seems like not doing things this stupid would be good enough.

It has just occurred to me that there are non-technical things like language usage and times of online activity. People have analyzed stuff like this for Satoshi, but I don't think there's much conclusive, so I don't know if that's due to Satoshi's prowess or just the weak nature of such evidence. Even if there were pretty solid clues here, how would you really _prove_ that since Professor So-and-So used phrase XYZ in a paper and Satoshi did too, that means they are the same person? So what if there's only one known world-class cryptographer in the timezone Satoshi appears to be posting from?

I have seen people come to Kerguelen island, which involves a four-week trip by ship in rough waters (and seven thousand euros or so) and not even set foot on the island once there, because all they wanted was the stamp on their passport. Or disembark but not leave their room once on the base, to at least say they had set foot on the island. These people usually had no idea and didn't care about learning anything about the place they had come to.

People like this are some of the least interesting persons I have met, and they clearly aren't "well travelled" indeed.
