Scott Cook’s Recipe For Lean Experiments
Oh well. Thanks for down-voting someone who was brave enough to make their stats public. :(

I guess no one is interested in real user engagement figures and I should remove the access.
Meat, rice, fish and salad (without dressing… vinegar and dairy based are pretty much all you find anywhere; I eat a lot of olive oils and citrus juice)

Nothing indian (all creamy, milky), very few asian recipes (i.e no sushi, I'm intolerant of the green stuff they roll it in), anything with coconut milk is a decent start.

Most "egg replacement" for baking contains stuff that I just can't eat, so anything baked is out of the question.

I was fortunate when I moved to Germany, my company's recommended doctor was the only one I could find who spoke english, and he was a sports physiotherapy specialist with a side training in homeopathy; for all that I believe it's quack science, the holistic approach to "maybe you have bad skin because there's something wrong somewhere else" was a valuable insight.

My health insurance paid the first €200 in blood testing (€50 basic panel, 150 wide panel), having established that there's no "cure", they won't insure the condition any further, but that's OK.
What do you for business? My use for email is communicating with clients (all real people :).
Disqus seeks Dev Ops Lead
Yes, but no:

Kennedy didn't just have a thing for Social Register girls; he had a thing for humiliating Social Register girls. He also had a thing for humiliating his fellow Irishman, Dave Powers.

Alford and Powers may have felt humiliated, but it's a jump to say that since a) they felt humiliated, therefore b) Kennedy had a thing for humiliating them.

Rather, he had a thing for power--power over others. A measure of his power would be, can I make this person humiliate herself? He could. Power was exercised, apologies were professed, and on he went.

This is much more damning than to say, he was a monster, he enjoyed humiliating others. It incriminates not just Kennedy, but a huge swathe of society, were such power differentials are common.

By characterizing the behavior as he did, Noah calls it out (good man!), but then quarantines it (phew!). You can see it when he contrasts Kennedy to Nixon and Clinton--even they were not so monstrous! We're still mostly decent people in a mostly decent world. Well, that's nice to believe.

I went through an earily similar process for a game I'd been developing on the side. I fell for the trap of building my own engine because I thought it would be a fun challenge. It was, but I ended up spending 90% of the time working on the engine and 10% of the time working on the actual game. I eventually published the app, but I'm admittedly a bit frustrated with the end result. I wish I had just gone with an engine like libgdx earlier on in the process. If I had it probably wouldn't have taken me over a year to come up with a simple 2d game.

Also as it turns out pixel art is much harder than I thought.

> Based on your search query, we think you are trying to find a specific brand. This box provides information about that brand. The brand owner is sponsoring this collection of content, some of which would appear even without this sponsorship. The brand owner is compensating Google and providing images and other content relevant to the brand.

This is replacing Southwest's search result. It's noteworthy to me that only "some" of this content would appear without sponsership. So not only are they showing "banner ads" in search results (that's a little bit of a stretch), but it's a bit like them allowing compensated reordering of search results.

I think it makes a pretty big difference; while it requires some ego, it doesn't require nearly as much as the "best choice" presentation makes it seem if you have a justifiably narrow view of the objective indicia of potential electability ; seeing yourself as the best qualified of maybe a few dozen people well-situated to compete for the Presidency given the realities of the way such campaigns run -- a condition which is mostly do to selection for traits which, while they may be related to running for President, are arguably only loosely correlated with effectively performing as President -- takes a lot less ego than seeing yourself as the best qualified person for the most powerful position on the planet from either the pool of legally qualified options or, even moreso, the pool of everyone on the planet ignoring legal qualifications.

It seems that it would be the fault of whoever is trying to apply it.

It's not like even die-hard supporters of capitalism claim that applying it to public property works well. From Mises.org:

On the contrary, when the individual is merely a tenant, either of
a farm or a dwelling or a business site, his interest is in taking
out all he can to compensate for the cost of the rent he pays. This
is true whether his landlord is a private person or a government.
Actually, in those cases where government has become the landlord,
the evidence abounds that tenants are even less interested in
improving or even maintaining the property they occupy.

It seems an appropriate description. Of course, their solution would possibly be to privatize the seas, which I personally wouldn't advocate for.

Nice job! Although a lot of my emails are not people-centric, but topic/project/event-centric. Unifying them into categories by people would make it harder for me to keep track of the content.

Would be nice if topic-centric could be added.

I love it in principle. I actually dove in and purchased it since I've wanted for so long an email client built around people.

I have a few criticism after actually using it (admittedly for only a few minutes here):

* The lack of an "Inbox" is disconcerting. It actually really is important to me to just see a list of emails in my inbox, most recent on top, with unread messages marked as such.

* People centric is great, but conversation centric is equally important. Apple Mail and Gmail get high marks on organizing emails by conversation thread, but both I found lacking in their organization by person. This app has the opposite problem: It's great for viewing emails by person, but that's like the ONLY feature. I really strongly dislike how it munges together different conversation threads under a person, which at the same time excludes other emails from other people that were part of that thread.

Maybe they'll add these features later but for now I'll probably slink back to Apple Mail and maybe keep an eye on it.

YMMV
What kind of data are you looking for? Many governments provide data for their own country, with differing licenses (the Canadian ones I've used are commercial-friendly). There are a good number of open GIS data initiatives around the world, that you should be able to find exactly what you're looking for.

You can also check the data that ESRI provides, as some is free, and other is paid.
In the moment when Southwest airlines paid for it is an advertising piece indeed. And to remove any shadow of doubt if you can't see a similar image when you search for American Airlines or Jetblue then it is clear that Google is favouring results against other companies in the same industry.
I was fully expecting this to by a study "by Airbnb" and I wasn't disappointed:

"On behalf of Airbnb, an online service for short-term vacation rentals, HR&A conducted an economic impact assessment of Airbnb rental activities in the City of San Francisco, and is currently conducting a follow-up study of its impacts on New York City."

Bunch of garbage. Enabling tourists to stay in different neighborhoods doesn't grow the economy, it just shifts where some of the money is spent from midtown to downtown.

This isn't a banner ad. This is essentially a branded search. It's not like Google is targeting users with Flash-based crud here. To call it a banner ad is kind of silly.
Chris Moneymaker, the WSOP winner, is my favorite example of this.

Interesting how this submission went from being #1 20 minutes ago, to #5 15 minutes ago and now is sitting at #9, despite the fact that the number of upvotes increased.

Google workers mass flagging this submission? Don't be evil.
This is not an independent, peer-reviewed study. It was commissioned by AirBnB. HR&A, the study's authors, point the interested to AirBnB's press release versus a full paper [1].

One would be cautioned against taking its findings seriously. I am even intrigued as to why AirBnB felt it was unnecessary or even counterproductive to release the full paper.

Unibox works pretty well for newsletters and notifications. They get grouped into one contact by sender, so e.g. 4 Twitter notifications only take one slot in the contact list.

It works also really well for notifications that contain attachments. If you have e.g. a github account that sends invoices you can select the Github Billing contact, go to the attachment list and have all invoices in one place. I don't copy attachments to the filesystem anymore because it's much easier to find them in Unibox.
Interesting. Drinking isn't confined to "this industry." But, aren't most technical people control freaks more or less? Wouldn't they rather keep tight control of their thought process? Maybe being tipsy is the only way out of the exhausting, taxing aspect of continuous over-analysis and wanting to remain in control; the occasional forced-break that would otherwise be consciously difficult to attain.

This is veering a tad bit on the ironic side...

Personally, as someone who has a strong aversion to drinking to excess and has never been to a conference--the fact that I hear so much about drunken partying at these events is the single biggest reason I have never attended one. I keep hearing about fascinating conferences. Then I hear people talk about their experiences at conferences, which sound essentially like stories about partying in college, and think--well, if the main social activity is "partying," then I'll miss most of the social aspects of the conference. So I just watch videos of the talks online instead. (Maybe this is dumb, so I'm open to suggestions that my impressions are incorrect.)

The reactions here--which range from "everyone does it" and "there's no solution" (which may well be true!) to "stop being a whiny busybody," are unfairly dismissive. The author didn't say that drinking should be banned. She simply suggested a few alternative activities that didn't involve drinking, many of which can be organized by attendees themselves, and pointed out that a culture of partying may turn off some people, which is certainly true in my case.
I think the blue parts are plaques...

Nor do I take issue with Google changing its stance in this way. Corporations change with the times.
Interesting. It seems like the main complaint from New York lawmakers is that these vehicles look like bicycles but behave in a decidedly non-bicycle manner, i.e. accelerate when the rider isn't pedaling, accelerate faster than a typical bicycle, achieve a top speed that is somewhat faster, etc.

Are the EU regulations good at bringing power-assist bicycles back into the normal operating rages for regular bicycles? Or is rider behavior still very different?
That promise was made when Schmidt was running things. We all know by now that Page is much more aggressive at monetizing existing products and killing off non-essential ones. We can expect more of these things in the future.
This article is mostly about the NYC submarket of the metro NYC market. NYC used to contain much of the working-class housing in the NYC metro area, but as demand for NYC housing has increased as urban living has become desirable, a lot of that working-class housing has moved upmarket, while new working-class housing has barely been created.

So in the NYC submarket, total demand has definitely increased.

Outside of city limits, it is often somewhere between illegal and very difficult to build new multifamily housing.

"A kilogram of hydrogen has about the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline, so the owner of a filling station could only expect to obtain the same net income from a kilogram of hydrogen as from a gallon of gas."

In a planned economy with fixed prices - probably. In the free market economy however, the price is dictated by the market itself. Add on top of it some government regulations that would put a burden upon gas use and you'll may get well beyond the current market price for gas. The reasoning about electricity price (that followed after the piece I quoted) has the same kind of fallacy in it, assuming too much. It would be economically viable to just capture the cheap daytime energy peaks in some sort of stable and effective energy carrier for later use, and if you could easily transport and sell it - even better! I am not saying that the it should be hydrogen, mind you. Other than that, I mostly agree with the ideas debated.

Edit: As I read further, I see author's solution - ethanol and methanol. On price, only methanol is considered (the ethanol is obviously more expensive), and here I am not sure (considering the prospect of fuel handling by civilians) if the author is aware that methanol is highly poisonous.

I saw Dmitry's presentation yesterday over SnapSVG.

Raphael was, and is, meant to support older browsers. This comes with a cost of not being able to fully use everything SVG has to offer. Thus, Snap was born. He simply can't put everything into raphael to make it compatible with older browsers.

Raphael will still be getting bug fixes as the come in but is overall feature complete. In fact, Snap shares some of the same code raphael has, so maybe some bugs found in snap will be fixed in raphael as well.
this is part of the problem. most of it is locked away in proprietary source codes - something i am hoping to fix in the coming months by putting something into the public domain myself. :)
I might also add that I didn't realise that always being in a negative mood, having no drive to proceed with life, having no ambition, not sleeping well, etc seem like the characteristic "early 20s" mood that most people "go through"… I didn't recognise until after I became healthy what healthy really feels like.

Now I run 15-20 miles per week, I'm 30Kg lighter than when I had allergies, and since my diagnosis I've had the drive to found my own agency business and (almost) get a SAAS platform out of the door.

"does this process not bootstrap the bitcoins into having some initial value?"

No, because nowhere in that explanation is there any mention of demand for the mined bitcoins. If nobody were willing to accept a Bitcoin payment, the cost of Bitcoin mining would be irrelevant because the value of Bitcoin would be zero.
It's arguable that queries like [southwest airlines] are even a search. The vast majority of instances are probably URL-illiterate users merely trying to get to Southwest Airlines' web site. (And Google must know rather precisely just how many.) For these users, search is really operating as a natural-language alternative to DNS so such a clickable banner will help them get there.

More than just advertising, this represents an element of curation on such search terms, to get you to the place you're really looking for. It'll help avoid situations like when that one blog post appeared at the top for [facebook login] and suddenly bunches of users couldn't find Facebook.

Like any technological tool, it could be misused for evil, and so will require vigilance in the court of public opinion if not in actual courts.

Commenting on comments about a blog post, on the other hand, is the highest form of human expression.
Yep. I actually think it would be valuable to have a third-party non-profit entity that provides economic impact assessments of start-ups like Uber and Airbnb, so we are backing up our regulatory policy changes on data rather than emotion or lobbying.
Or from midtown to Williamsburg.

Actually, I stayed in an AirBnB room for something like $20 a night in east Williamsburg while looking for a long-term apartment. It was cheaper than staying with a friend in White Plains and commuting on Metro-North every day. Not tourism $$, but darned useful to people moving to a new city.
Urban housing is most of the working-class housing stock in this country, at least within metropolitan areas. Most suburbs have very stringent zoning requiring houses (and even multifamily) to use a lot of land. In areas where land is expensive, this makes new affordable housing illegal.

non-profit do you mean university? I'd rather have university do the research.

I often think non-profit is not as independent as we think. After all, a lot of non-profit are to advocate against public policy. Whereas usually university research (from multiple sources) seem to be more independent.
Mozilla describes a canonical way to detect settings [1]:

1) Use the global ISPDB, e.g. https://live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/$DOMAIN, e.g https://live.mozillamessaging.com/autoconfig/v1.1/gmail.com and extract the information

2) Try to use the provider specific db http://autoconfig.example.com/mail/config-v1.1.xml?emailaddr...

3) Fallback to http://example.com/.well-known/autoconfig/mail/config-v1.1.x...

It also utilizes MX records and not only the domain.

I actually have to agree somewhat, though (and I don't work in marketing). If you search for Southwest Airlines, why should Southwest Airlines not be the top result? Google has been showing pictures and information about people, products, and companies for quite a while now (https://www.google.com/#q=paul+graham), and shows commonly visited links off the main page of a website (as shown in that search for Paul Graham, they sub-link to his essays and other commonly visited pages).

It's very clear the intent of searching for Southwest Airlines; to get information about Southwest Airlines. The only difference between this result and any other result is that Southwest told Google what to put as their picture and sub-links, and Google made them pay for it. Searching for American Airlines shows almost exactly the same thing, except it's automatically populated by Google's engine, rather than being paid for.

You're confusing CT scans with conventional x-ray images. CT scans deliver the radiation equivalent of hundreds of conventional x-ray images. The radiation dose is high enough to epidemiologically significant (meaning higher cancer rates in people who have been scanned, especially children).
