It is very pixelated but it still isn't if people you can't explain what this is might look at your screen IMO.

EDIT: it is "pixelated" not "pixelized"? Didn't know.
... so you might of (very badly) shown that some woman are mildly mysoginist (if even that)... How do you get "worst mysoginists" and "often" out of that?

I'd hazard to guess that cosmetics are closer to the impulse-buy zone and enjoy a larger availability.

You can walk in any supermarket / drugstore and find a cosmetics selection at which point advertising influence kicks in. You are familiar with the advertised brands in the offering and more likely to buy them.

Tech on the other hand is a $300 upward proposition a peace. That's far outside the impulse buy zone, which is why advertising this works differently. Much more product placement and bundled distribution channels (phone shops) in play here.. and caries.
It is silly without some sort of state intervention. In Colorado the cost is nearly $2billion for light rail from Longmont to Boulder and then to Denver and some of the track already exists. (Actually the longest stretch of track already exists)

There is the cost, then there is the cost when government does it, then there is the cost when government does it and there is some sort of eminent domain issues and I think people simply multiply numbers by 5 to 10 when that happens.
Doesn't work in Chrome 30. Hopefully in 5-10 years WebGL will be stable. Or we could just use PNaCl.
It varies a lot by country. In Ireland, for instance, POS terminals deployed in the last five years or so in smaller shops typically don't have a swipe reader at all, and even where a swipe reader is available, the company may have a policy of not accepting swipe cards.

I agree with you that in our age this is driven to exasperation because of the way everything in modern life seems to be so exasperated, as if exasperation itself is being marketed ... but this is off topic.

w.r.t cosmetics and aesthetics, don't forget that humanity invented cosmetics and jewellery way before most of the practical technologies. Whether that was a male (warrior paintings) or female thing, I don't know.

"luxury", as you put it, is what makes us humans, do the useless, for the sake of it, create cultures around that stuff. We have that strive deeply embedded inside us.

Nice project. Sadly no new places to me (yet!) but glad to see the Loving Hut, this is a must.

Are you going to add functionality for submissions? Or did I just miss it?

I don't think that's legitimate. It seems incredibly unlikely that having to use multiple different physical cards would ever be a barrier to someone who was going to get into debt.

The first large chip and pin deployment was in France, in 1992. At the time, Eastern Europe was in economic chaos, and not really on the radar.

Aren't they using DDR5 on video cards?

Quoting TFA does not clarify your position at all. "Often" implies women outside of the editorial staff of these magazines. And I fail to see how they are "the worst mysoginists[sic]."

Please clarify.
Here's a quick overview of the history of ICs. It gives many strong examples of how DARPA propelled their development and decisively rescued the U.S. industry from Japanese competition -- definitely a large role. There's really not a lot of controversy about the massive role that DARPA and other agencies play in American high tech.

In cultures where female circumcision occurs, it's not the men who perform the circumcision, it's the women. And it's women who shame anyone who has not been mutilated in the same way they have been.

I don't know if this is a case of Oslo syndrome, but this kind of peer pressure plays a big role in keeping people down.

The same thing (though probably not quite as harmful) happens with men. Men aren't all supportive of men finding their own way either. If you don't do and like the same stupid things your peers feel forced to do and like, you get ridiculed.
No. That wouldn't be direct contact, and is, again, more likely to cause injury because you're not getting good kinesthetic feedback. What I'm talking about is what the L&D doctor did when my daughter was born a couple months ago to aid my wife, who was exhausted and in pain: manual manipulation of the vaginal opening, and carefully inching baby's head forward using nothing more than his fingers.

As it turned out, this doctor some work delivering babies in Africa in third-world conditions, and only low-tech solutions were available. Things that American hospitals aren't fond of, like having mom stand up and move around, eat and drink to keep her strength up, and finding a birthing position comfortable for the mom, like squatting, hands and knees, whatever her body is telling her to do.

This device is better than forceps only that it is less likely to crush a skull, but it still carries a risk of breaking baby's neck.
Great tool! Thank you :) I'm not personally vegetarian, but I found myself looking for one recently when I was in London and found it far too difficult. Minor suggestion: I'd make the "Vegan" label say "Vegan Only" (or "Only Vegan" I guess).

Also, what qualifies as a "chain"? I notice you have The Gate on there, but they have two locations, and you only have the one at Islington (and not the one at Hammersmith).
I noticed the "Omnivorous" check box, but clicking it doesn't show that many more places - I assumed omnivorous would mean something along the lines of: every pub, restaurant, and shop in London. Apparently not, so, can somebody explain what being an "omnivore" as a lifestyle choice (or whatever) means in this day and age?

Like many others here have already pointed out, the money you have is considerably more than most, me included. But that's beyond the point.

Thinking this is the sort of thing that'll make you happy, is in my opinion exactly why you are not so. From my view, which took me time and effort to understand and appreciate, you cannot become happy by longing for things, but by being satisfied with the things you already have, be them material or not, and I'm sure you've got more than you think. This might sound cliche, but I truly believe happiness comes from within.

In fact, out of personal experience, I can tell you I've never been as happy as I am now, and I'm pretty damn happy. I got rid of most of my things and worked hard at not being attached to things in general. I'm lucky in that I don't have any debts, nor do I have any savings.

I try to value the little, simple things. Things that don't have a price tag or can't be quantified, things I don't feel like are a source of comparison or competition, things that I can talk about with other people that engender simple wonder and excitement, not loathing and envy.

Think good conversation, a nice piece of music, the smiles of the people you care about, the pride your mum has when she can make you your favorite dish once in a while, etc. None of these things essentially cost money, they simply cost a human investment, time and empathy.

You're probably right in saying that none of the comments here will get you out of your situation. Ultimately, the only person who can do that is yourself. Thinking the world is your problem is assuming the world should care about you more than you care about it or yourself. Love yourself and who you can be, not the digits on your bank receipt, your social standing, the brand of your car, the caviar you could have on your plate or any of that subjective crap.

Lengthy, soggy life lesson over :)
Tool to build Instagram-like app in one day
Whether it is the wrong tool is arguable (it is a clever declarative implementation). But regardless, demos such as this primarily demonstrate features and functions of a technology in a novel way, and it seems likely many who view will have a 'you can do that with CSS?' reaction, perhaps taking it to add to more traditional implementations.
What's the point of single binary when you only do deployment on your own preconfigured server machine. That really kicks ass.
> Ah, the old "It's of no use to me, so what's the point?" argument. You're not the person the Coin is targeting. It's for people who have more cards than they can comfortably carry in their wallet.

The thing is, a lot of the people who don't originally see the use to something can wind up using it later on because they have a need for it (DropBox, etc). This has a built-in usefulness limitation in that it is only of use to people with lots of cards that need to carry them all. Sure, I have 6 credit/debit cards, but I only ever carry 2 in my slim front-pocket wallet. I only know 2 people that Coin would apply to for their use-case scenario and neither of them would carry this device instead of their cards.

> I'll admit that I don't shop in many brick and mortar stores, but when I have, the cashiers have never so much as glanced at my cards. Most of the time, the scanner is out of their view anyway. I can see it possibly being a problem if they have to scan it for you (like at a restaurant or something), but I'd be willing to bet that most people just aren't going to care enough to make a fuss about it.

I'd wager that at least 25% of the merchants here in NY would refuse to accept this. Easily at least that many. While many cashiers don't look at your cards when you use them, that's because it still fits the profile of a credit card: thin plastic, bank logo, Visa/MC/Amex logo, magnetic stripe, raised numbers, etc. Giving them something that fits none of these criteria will instantly set off some alarm bells.
Loving Hut is pretty creepy. I sincerely appreciate being able to find veg/vegan food in a lot of cities and countries, but the idea of supporting the Supreme Master situation (I hesitate to call it a cult, but I struggle to find a better word) is pretty distasteful. From online stories and friends' personal anecdotes, I'd rather steer clear and go hungry.

Insecurities, eg body image, are propogated to support the beauty and fashion industry. Just one example. Others (studies and simple empirical checks) will also corroborate this. It shouldn't be controversial, but YMMV.
Am I the only one confused about this coincidence?
I feel, that the same can be achieved with any shape.
Git for Windows uses MSYS, which is actually a fork of Cygwin. Compared to Cygwin, Git's MSYS distro is missing a lot of software and the version of Vim packaged with Git for Windows is a native Windows build (not MSYS-aware,) so it doesn't work in mintty. This can really bite you when editing a commit message or trying to do an interactive rebase. On my machine, Vim will just hang when started from an MSYS mintty.
Congrats on launching! Will take another look when I'll be in London again.

If it's "only" you who submits these reviews, you could make it more personal by adding a paragraph of text with a non-objective description. Would also help to separate your USP compared to Happy Cow.

I know a vegan blogger who wrote posts about the places she visited in towns, and people like those. It's easier to compare/trust the reviews of a single person vs. the reviews on happy cow that are written by many different people.
"A million dollars is not rich."

How do we mark threads as trolling, again?
We had a system to censor users' IMs. Customers could configure a forbidden word list, or use a default one that had some seemingly obvious swear words. That was fine, until you realize that a global customer base has at least one person with almost any imaginable word in their names.

The North Koreans even made a phallic missile called No-dong. There is just no way to apply English assumptions about what words are across names. Oh, and the South Koreans have a town called Nodong-dong (http://www.agoda.com/city/nodong-dong-kr.html).

Transaction limits are absolutely an important factor in limiting these kind of risks.

In Netherland, there's also one electronic payment system that does not require a PIN: the "chip knip" (chip wallet). You explicitly transfer an amount of money from your account to the chip (often about $20), and you can use that to pay. You still need to approve the payment by pressing a button on the machine, but if you lose it, you don't lose a lot.

And it probably works without a phone/internet connection, because the money is right there on the card and nothing needs to be verified on any server.
Really strange. Here in Lithuania we had similar systems in some places several years ago, but everyone quickly changed to always require PIN. Even in restaurants they come with wireless card reader and you don't even let your card out of your eye sight.
As seen from Europe, it reminds me of Russians Bonds (I think my grandfather still have some) and Eurotunnel. Didn't go too well.
It seems to me that you've never been truly poor, which resulted in extremely unbalanced perspective about money, life and happiness.
That's "GDDR5" which is tuned specifically for graphics applications. According to Wiki it's still based on DDR3.
I think that's GDDR5 which is something different (and roughly comparable to [edit: DDR3]).

Also, for this comparison, hasn't DDR3 had much higher speeds than 1066MHz for a while now anyway? isn't it up to 1866MHz? so the comparisons claimed speed improvements seem exaggerated. I'd be interested to know the real world difference this would make anyway. For logistical reasons I recently had to order a workstation with DDR3-1600 rather DDR3-1866 memory but couldn't find out how much of a real world impact this would have.
That's just not right on your part.

My sister, when researching baby monitors, had to resort to male-dominated forums. She was interested in the technical details and experiences of these before buying, but women-forums only ever covered aesthetics and feelings towards the topic.

You could say my example is anecdotal and worthless, but what I am describing is a large statistical pool with both sides represented. And this isn't exactly news, you can be as offended as you'd like, but every single area of our society barring the higher echelons of science tells us this same story.

The fact that you think it's offensive makes you the offender. I should think most of the world couldn't care less. Myself included, it's just a matter of interests.

Disclaimer: I know every rule has plenty of exceptions.
That was the whole point of it...
I'm European too (if you count UK, some don't), and I have way too many cards, like 30+. I've add to trim down to 4 and keep some more in my bag. Tried some of the apps that let you put in the cards and it shows a barcode, but that barcode doesn't always scan on some of the barcode readers so you actually need the card.
MarissaTV, the Yahoo Q3 News — If It Bleeds, It Definitely Does Not Lead

But this is far from atypical, as a little google-fu whill show you. And if you look into some research, some additional things will emerge: eg What attracts the media to woman-on-woman (WOW) bullying is the fact that women are targeted at a higher rate by female bullies (71%) than by male bullies (46%). I won't belabor the point. Merely pointing out an empirical irony relevant to the headline and the context of this discussion. This is not counterfactual (nor apologetic) to other types of bad behabiour, but it is oddly not widely understood (it appears).
The company that builds an hyperloop will gain plenty of patents, capabilities and brand value along the way.Each implementation of the hyperloop will probably be a monopoly.

This opens paths for licensing the tech globally. It's not as easy as scaling software, but it's possible to scale.

According to Wikipedia, in the UK it took less than 2 years to go from initial trial in 2003 to liability shift in 2005.

"Chip and PIN was trialled in Northampton, England from May 2003, and as a result was rolled out nationwide in the United Kingdom in 2004 with advertisements in the press and national television touting the "Safety in Numbers" slogan. During the first stages of deployment, if a fraudulent magnetic swipe card transaction was deemed to have occurred, the retailer was refunded by the issuing bank, as was the case prior to the introduction of Chip and PIN. On January 1, 2005, the liability for such transactions was shifted to the retailer;"

Also note this bbc article[1] suggesting a Feb 2006 deadline for not accepting signatures from cards that were chip and pin enabled.

Are the colours of the map pins universally understood by your target audience? As a non-vegan/vegetarian, the thought behind it made complete sense as soon as I deselected options from the filter panel, but before that I was curious to what they meant. Including use of the same colours in the filter panel would have made me intuitively understand it.

I appreciate that it still has a view presented when loading without JavaScript.

Fair enough - someone was telling me about the Supreme Master thing recently, must admit I had largely ignored it up until that point as just part of the bizarre Loving Hut experience. Thanks for the links, definitely some food for thought!
Fair enough. Perhaps this wasn't the best example.
Hacker News, what happened to you?

Father time has been cruel to you. Where once was a thriving community of armchair intellectuals eager to share their thoughts on Edward Snowden, Hyperloop, and the latest Snapchat valuation, now there is pixelated pornography.
I'm planning to add more omnivorous places that do an OK job of catering to veggies. Particularly places like East Street, near Oxford Street. It's not a vegetarian restaurant, but it's got vegan options clearly marked on the menu and all the staff seem pretty switched on. My goal is to help people find places where their veggie friends can have a good meal easily, without lots of explanation to the staff about what they do and don't eat.
The issue is that actual null values are stringified as "Null". It doesn't take much for someone to decide to just convert all string instances of "Null" back to the null value, despite that leading to issues.
How Kissmetrics Got It Wrong About How To Get More App Downloads
You nailed it on the mark-up.

Also, ad sales in print computer magazines fell off a cliff after 2001 and never recovered. (Last time I looked, the ad page count in CS had dropped to about 200 pages, from a peak of nearly 600 pages.)

The drop was due to (a) lots of the smaller PC OEMs merging or going bust (a mag could only sell so many 12-24 page glossy advertising segments to Dell or HP), (b) the rise of internet advertising on the back of home broadband (over a 56K modem ads were painful; with 512K and up broadband they were tolerable and far more effective), and (c) dwindling profit margins.

Oh, also CS had two distinct customer bases: the hardcore folks who bought it for the specialist columns (the UK mag, unlike the Ziff-Davis Computer Shopper, had stuff like assembly language programming tutorials and an Atari ST enthusiast's corner as late as 2004) and who propped up the ABC circulation figures by subscribing (and whose ABC figures in turn were used by sales to convince advertisers that the magazine was worth purchasing space in), and the newsstand casuals, who wanted a new PC, would buy an issue for the ads, buy their PC, then never buy another copy. And of these latter, according to market surveys, only 15% ever installed any software on their machine: they bought from OEMs with Windows and Office pre-installed along with a bunch of not-quite-crapware, and used what they'd bought as-is.

The former vanished first, to places like Slashdot, Hacker News, and more recondite corners of the web. And the latter dried up as google made it easier to find cheap PCs via the internet.
Thanks for your kind words! Chains are totally a judgement call; it's basically me deciding what 'feels indie'. I've not been to the one in Hammersmith yet; I'll add it when I visit.
JP Morgan and the Wen family.
I'm working on adding more reviews. They are rather sparse at the moment, you're right. I like the single-person perspective as well; I've never found the multiple reviews on sites like Happy Cow or Yelp that useful either.
I tend to introversion, and networking in a room filled with people wears me out faster than just about anything else.

So, given that my social energy is limited, here's what I do:

* Have a concrete goal for each event, things like: small talk with 5 random people, elevator pitch to Jane, get contact details to follow up with Jim and Mo, etc.

* Step out of unproductive/negative chats asap - "excuse me, I need to make a call/ check email / catch Bob before he leaves"

* For longer events, take regular smoke breaks (even though I don't smoke)

* Leave (politely) as soon as goals are achieved or as soon as I'm worn out
