Making it easy to do this is my goal with Eat This Much (http://www.eatthismuch.com), and before that, with http://www.Swole.me (the name being more bodybuilding focused before I added recipes and improved the algorithm to make something that would appeal to a normal, well adjusted person :)

If Soylent got popular enough, it would pretty much make my service obsolete. I doubt that'll happen anytime soon, but I'm still a huge supporter of what Soylent is trying to accomplish with taking the thinking out of what I should eat. You can actually use the two in conjunction pretty well by adding Soylent as a "custom food" on Eat This Much, making it take up about 80% of your daily calories, locking it in place, and then running the meal plan generator to fill in the last 20% of your calories with real food.

Here's an example where I added Soylent similar to one of their initial recipes, each serving being 1/4 of their daily recommendation (and a higher calorie target so I don't atrophy into nothing):

Actually, I don't think anyone has shown how divorce is worse than any other non-married couple breaking up (except maybe some hardships due to legal proceedings).

The premise was that couples with high-earning females no longer feel the pressure to stay together just because of the marriage, and therefore evaluate their relationship on the merits of the relationship alone, as if the marriage never existed.

I guess you could argue that any relationship divide is a bad thing, but if you never have a relationship with someone, how can you determine if you mesh together? Sometimes you don't.

Eh, no. Hitslink’s data[1] comes from approximately 160 million visitors per month. StatCounter’s data[1] comes more than 3 million websites. Caveat: StatCounter’s hasn’t been reporting very reliable global stats lately, it’s most useful for Europe and North America.

Anarchists typically have a concept of "possession" (as opposed to "property", a concept that comparatively fewer anarchists support), if that is what you are asking.

"Possession", as a concept used by anarchists, has always seemed rather poorly defined (surprise surprise), but if we are willing to permit some very slight anthropomorphism, there are non-human examples of the recognition of a concept that we could reasonably call "possession". It seems therefore that whatever "possession" may be, it is a concept that can exist in the absence of governments.
The reason copyright is not supposed to be forever, is because everyone builds on previous works. Nothing is 100 percent original. Maybe not even 20 percent original, if you really start deconstructing something and rip the most fundamental ideas out of the "new" creation.

Plus, if you then again allow others to build on the more recently "invented" stuff, then you get even more ideas and creations, as a society, which is why there's this "agreement" that copyright works should go into public domain. But corporations, who don't invent anything themselves, want to be able to exploit those works forever.

This is why I support Sweden's Pirate Party's idea [1] to limit copyright to 5 years, and then allow creators to extend it every 5 years up to 20 years, for a fee each time, because then you wouldn't end up with problems like these, where the vast majority of works become abandonware that nobody can use for almost a century to at least remix them:

I support the current "automatic copyright without needing to be registered" system. I think it helps the little guy, and if we switched to a "copyright on registration" system only big professional companies would ensure they dot their i's and cross their t's, the little guy who takes a photo at would probably not register it, and would have no copyright protection.

The idea being that governments recognize rights that already exist, they don't create those rights.

I keep my copy of Hobbes bookmarked for occasions such as this.

Hereby it is manifest that, during the time men live without a common power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called war, and such a war as is of every man against every man.

And, a few paragraphs later, the refutation of your assertion:

To this war of every man against every man this also is consequent, that nothing can be unjust. The notions of right and wrong, justice and injustice, have there no place. Where there is no common power, there is no law; where no law, no injustice. Force and fraud are in war the two cardinal virtues. Justice and injustice are none of the faculties neither of the body nor mind. If they were, they might be in a man that were alone in the world, as well as his senses and passions. They are qualities that relate to men in society, not in solitude. It is consequent also to the same condition that there be no propriety, no dominion, no ‘mine’ and ‘thine’ distinct, but only that to be every man’s that he can get, and for so long as he can keep it.

Call them, introduce what you are doing and ask them if you can meet.

If you can solve a problem they have, they will make time for you.

Most buyers care about three things: Cost, Productivity, Revenue. Think "CPR". If you can reduce costs, increase productivity, or drive additional revenue, they should want to meet.

Skip email or surveys. You want to talk to them and ask open ended questions about their needs to see if you can help.

I was surprised to read that this is focusing primarily on numbers; I thought one of the values of ReCaptcha was to help improve OCR and deal with difficult-to-digitize text.

And that's where HN comes in as most articles are about starting business, tools needed for that and also being healthy :).

I met the creator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludvig_Strigeus) the other day, and he LOVES to micro-optimize. He's a genius, and made a vere light uTorrent (it was supposed to be a really light bittorrent client) and then he sold it to bittorrent and stopped developing it (and that's why it stopped being lightweight).

Awesome and interesting guy.
Although I replied earlier that I've driven a small sports car through most of the last three or so winters, what you said is not always correct. There are many times that the snow is simply too deep for cars, even that Impreza. When you're high centered on snow, you're not going anywhere.

And I have never seen any of the roads around here closed, even when impassable by anything short of a snowmobile or a tractor.
The protocol may not but the drives themselves do so it's pretty much the same difference.

> There is no good reason for copyright to ever expire.

The case for limited copyright was laid down as early as the U.S. Constitution, and the Congressional Copyright Act of 1790. Lawrence Lessig has devoted much of his life's work to this exact question. It's also analyzed in this surprising and recent paper from the U.S. House Republican Study Committee, knocking down the three myths of copyright protection:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/113633834/Republican-Study-Committ...

The protracted terms of modern copyright "protection" -- life plus 90 years, etc. -- stifles invention without rewarding creative artists, who are long dead and have no need for incentives to create new work.

Another commenter is entirely right on this about Disney. Much of Disney's own creative work (and enormous wealth) comes from repurposing the work of others: Carlo Collodi, the Brothers Grimm, Mark Twain, Joel Chandler, and on and on. We see Disney innovating in exactly the way the U.S. Founders intended in limiting copyright to 14 years.

Disney and the rest of Big Content, however, have paid lobbyists to lock up their own derivative works so that nobody can extend them in the way Disney reused the originals. It's a corporate scam, pure and simple, with manifold ill consequences for consumers and artists alike.
Incorrect.

This is what happens when you confuse objects in the physical world with those in the information world.

Physical rights don't expire because it entails deprivation of use. But copyright expiration doesn't eliminate your right to create, distribute, or sell -- it simply extends these capabilities to others.

Has that actually been studied? I mean, is there a quantifiable "2 second impression" that can be measured as different between Roboto and Source Sans? I see this kind of argument made all the time by afficionados of some aesthetic or another (microbrew fans, car nuts, etc...) and invariably the science ends up showing that e.g. wine quality can't be measured objectively at all.

My point here isn't (ahem) "You are wrong.", but more that I think you need to get some perspective about the distinction between strongly held opinion and objective fact.
Interesting post. Just a tip — the font is distracting. Especially in Chrome on Windows, which for some reason can't do font smoothing. In other browsers it's better, but still unnecessarily quirky.

Unless you're used to doing cold phone calls, and fairly adept at reversing a prospects objections - I would first start with Linkedin.

Emails and phone calls are easy to ignore. I would first use LinkedIn to approach them asking for advice (keep the intro short, sweet, but intriguing). Then email a few times via LinkedIn - and THEN ask for a phone call.

If you do decide on phone calls, I would first find another group of 20 people you don't care as much about their answers- and use them first to "refine your approach" and reduce nerves.

No.

Enforcing a monopoly requires the application of violence to maintain it. In the absence of violence, anybody may compete.

Physical property rights, as an example, exist at all times in the absence of force. To physically take something from someone you must use violence in one form or another. That ownership is not granted by the government, it's granted by my having acquired it without using any form of violence to get it, and you must take the thing from me to change that.

The government doesn't guarantee I'll always own my property, they provide no guarantee to a monopoly over my car. A thief can come and steal it, and I may never see that car again. The government will not then replace it. The government provides justice, not property guarantees.
So does Hobbes. Read carefully.
>>You need to get practical!

I'd say trying to not die from heat exhaustion or stroke while riding uphill on a bike in 100+ degree weather is practical.
There's actually a chance that congress is in a state where they could reject another retroactive extension. The two forces that could crush it are 1) public interest backlash, as we saw with SOPA, getting a chunk of democrats who aren't on the industry payroll and 2) the 'corporate welfare' argument that gets the tea party republicans. Congress is in a state of near-anarchy right now, since the traditional 'stick' of earmarks doesn't exist to keep the ideological members in line, and for once it could work out in the public's interests.

All that said, I'm not holding my breath.
Have definitely been considering moving my East Bay rental down to SV. BART has just not been reliable these past few months, and I've used Caltrain before, and even stayed a few months in East Palo Alto which is cheaper than my current Walnut Creek.
I'm confused. More than one person can use "intellectual property" at the same time, which isn't quite true for physical property.

Also, I'm confused why this is an "economic value" issue. I was under the impression copyright existed solely for the benefit of the public, "to promote the sciences and useful arts" as I read.

You've got more insight than I do, so further elaboration would be greatly appreciated.
Am I missing something? It seems obvious that the same mass of ice will cause the some amount of dilution and have the same heat capacity. All the stuff about surface area versus volume is just worrying about how long it takes the ice to dissolve, but it seems like they did all their experiments until the drink reached thermal equilibrium... the ice melted, and the drink got slightly watered down.
I don't understand this comment at all. How do physical property rights exist in the absence of force? How are you yourself not demonstrating that they don't when you talk about thieves stealing your property?
"Leibniz (mathematician)"...

Leibniz was top notch in many, many things. Philosophy, math, linguist, lawyer, diplomat, engineer, psychology and sociology... lots of things. He was as particularly bad way to start your list which is supposed to support an argument that it was mathematicians who developed formal logic, since he shatters entirely the distinction you are trying to draw upon.

Having unrealistic, superficial, mythical "check boxes" for a potential partner (male or female) in the western world is so out of whack. Money, fame, looks can only take you so far. Why couldn't people just be honest i.e. be themselves and try to make a meaningful connection to a person? Sure, no one wants to see a "loser" (whatever that definition might be) but get to know somebody before accepting/rejecting them and not having preconceived notions.
The heart of juju
Without law, is fear of a violent reprisal the only thing that would 'keep you in line'?

There are countless opportunities for me every day to engage in risk free petty theft, yet I don't. Why don't I? It isn't fear of the law, since I have no fear of being caught, and it isn't fear of reprisal since, again, I have no fear of being caught.

No, I think the reason why I don't steal, even when I could, probably has something to do with the same underlying basis of all those "don't steal" laws. I mean, is it a coincidence that I, and those long dead lawmakers, both think that I shouldn't steal? I don't think the existence of the law has created in me this aversion to stealing either. I could cite for you countless examples where the law and I agree to disagree. It's neither fear nor respect of the law that keeps me (and I suspect, most people) from stealing.
Physical property rights do expire.

Adverse possession, right of conquest, property taxes, and estate taxes are a few of the ways in which physical property rights expire.

This fills a very important void in my family being that my kids can't really type (well or at all) but they love using Scratch. We just got an Arduino but the environment is a bit daunting for them. I haven't had the chance to download the Scratch for Arduino environment, but if this works, I don't know who will be more excited, me or the kids.

Thanks for the work that went into this!
What if "short" is 28 years?
I agree completely, but should that copyright last over a hundred years? If you haven't sold that picture in 20 years, why not let it fall into the public domain (assuming you have already published it)? Now if it is unpublished, then it should stay with the author, from a pure privacy standpoint.
Whichever it is, the drink named for this error sounds absolutely disgusting.
Yep, there is quite a problem with that. I've recently was looking for proof that Golden Ratio aesthetical qualities are indeed the global optima for at least some categories of objects. I've found nothing.
You can't not think about race if people discriminate against you based on it. That was the point. Some people are forced to think about their identity categories.
> Why don't physical property rights expire?

No, but real (dirt) property rights are usually taxed. How about an escalating tax on older copyrights?
I am beginning to think it should work like trademark, you own it as long as you are using it. Once you stop using it you have a short(in the case of trademark it is 3 years, but I could see 10-20 years being good for copyright) time before you lose it. That way it does what it should entice people to produce useful works, and let those works go free when they are no longer of use to the original author.
