It's not very good. I had that idea around the same time, tried to use MealSnap, gave up and decided the problem was on the wrong side of the difficult/interesting balance for me. After looking at the photos I took for ~a week, I felt that as a human I'd be wildly inaccurate with the calorie counts, so how on earth could a machine be better?

(Though, I was eating in a company cafeteria. Combining photos with geolocation for popular restaurants could be a good start to a more reliable, if sparse, approach.)
> No, taxpayers do.

Well, given the degree to which spending exceed tax revenue, marginal changes in government expenses are actually paid for by bond purchasers, not taxpayers.
The killer feature of Google Music is that uploaded music integrates well with subscribed music.

If you have an album that is not on Google's "all access" catalog, you can buy it from somewhere, upload to Google, and then this music is accessible from everywhere. Just like the music from the subscription catalog. I believe (not sure) that Google even integrates your uploaded music in generated radio playlists.

For someone who buys albums on local concerts, this is a killer feature. Many albums do not appear on any subscription catalogues, or they are not available in [YOUR REGION], or the labels wait months before they release a new album in the catalogues.

When I was using Spotify, I had a playlist of my favorite jazz songs minus the songs not on Spotify, minus the songs not available in Austria. And after two months, 1/4 of the songs were greyed out and did not play anymore because the label had decided to remove these songs from my region.

Now I just have a playlist with my favorite songs.
I feel that the money clip and keys create too large a disruption in the line of my trousers, esp. with the newer fitted trousers.

Also, with the fitted slacks it's harder reach past the keys to the money clip or vice versa.
If what you say is true, then all the world's women with the desire for reading tech would flock to the few tech magazines that have less of "that sort of focus", they exist. This would cause these "non-booth-babed" magazines to have a disproportionally large amount of women buyers, which they would see immediately... but it's not happening.

Reality is that which doesn't go away if you disbelieve or dislike it.

I'm surprised he got the maximum sentence after pleading guilty. Isn't the whole point of pleading guilty to get a lesser sentence?
That's not even remotely the point. Your argument should be one level above your current one, that is the laws in the first place, not his compliance with.

It's absolutely ridiculous to take 10 years off someones life for doing good.
I think you are missing the fact that 0MQ builds on top of sockets. Of course you can do all of the same things using just plain sockets but then you end up implementing parts of 0MQ. Like all libraries, 0MQ is a set of preimplemented features that you can just use in order to work at a higher level of abstraction and not worry about corner cases so much.
These ads are just fine for the product, which allows you to work anywhere, and is what they are touting. The only reason they are being hated on right now is because it is Microsoft, and around here Microsoft Is Evil.
If HDD's internal cache was active how are synchronous writes still faster? Shouldn't the flush/sync ensure persistence of data?

If the cache was being used, the HDD results are not actually synchronous, a power loss event would result in data loss.
This is kind of stupid. The mistake the author has could have applied to a regular credit card as well. Mistakes happens and when she found out, she should have promptly tried to fix it. Instead she left it running for 4 months and now blames store cards as if it's unique to them.

Computer hacking laws actually have pretty light sentences compared to their historic counterparts. A show trial followed by some years in jail is much nicer than being executed for witchcraft.
Ah, I misread. I thought it said, "He was sentenced to serve a maximum of ...", but actually it says, "He was sentenced to the maximum of ...". Ten years, then. Still not terribly surprising to me given what he did.
I've been a fan of Glassfish and Netbeans for 5 years. It started when I was testing a few "stacks" for web services, and that combination worked amazingly well out of the box; or rather, it was the only one that did.

Hi there, Harp Op here.

When we started out building Harp we wanted to provided an unparalleled user experience and not compromise on features. Collaboration was a must, after all software is written by people and teams.

Asking for full access was not something we wanted to do, but something that was necessary to get that feature and make Harp Platform a more compelling.

The Harp Platform is not build on Dropbox, it is build with Dropbox support and we can introduce other methods for syncing files and content. Github support is will underway.
Jersey is an integral part of WebLogic as well, so development will assuredly continue.

Music services I have tried: Google Music, Xbox Music, Spotify, and iTunes. After using each for over three months. I have stuck with Google Music. Why I did go with the big G? It was the ability to upload all my music (up to 20,000) songs to the cloud. This plus Google All Music, covers my music need well! The ability to upload my own music to the cloud strikes a good balance for me. I hated having Spotify and not finding what I was looking for. Then I was stuck transferring MP3s to my phone. Now, my library syncs from my iMac to Google.
That depends entirely on your confidence in your job security/your ability to find another job.
Well, the wealthiest - the Oscar red carpets of the world - do wear hand-sewn, one-off custom-designed couture. That opens up a whole marketplace of cheaper knockoffs "inspired by" it, as well as the original designer's ready-to-wear line.

As an overlap between the two worlds, tailoring to make an off-the-rack garment fir properly is also something that a certain wealth level take for granted - when I was recently shopping for clothes in Nordstrom, it was assumed I was going to get them tailored for the perfect fit.
Have you ever worked with WebSphere or WebLogic? When I was, I wished I was using Glassfish.

You guys (parent & parent) should realize you don't have nearly enough information to support your conclusions. You need to travel a lot more to generalize like that. You come off as jaded know-it-alls who think romantic viewpoints and optimism are for children and idiots.

I started un-jaded then I came to the same conclusion as you two. I kept going though and I'm changing my mind again - the world is not all the same, and there is plenty of opportunity for adventure. Maybe I'll change my mind again, I don't know everything either, but I hope I don't.

I don't know exactly what you guys did or didn't do, but my advice would be to adjust your strategy for where you spend time, and push yourself to pay closer attention. Maybe learn another language if you haven't already so you can really dive in.
Tmux is such a fantastic tool - its made a big difference to my work - thank you and congrats to the authors.
10 years doesn't strike me as unreasonable. What he did basically amounted to burglary and over $1M in credit card fraud. 10 years is at the upper end of what I would sentence for those crimes, but it's not out of range -- especially considering that he's relatively unrepentant about the whole thing.
"[n]ot materially different from breaking into secure offices and stealing copies of private documents"

Jeremy Hammond caused the release of information collected by a private security firm, which Barron's referred to "The Shadow CIA" JS's purpose, by all accounts i have read, was to (i) call attention to the volume, and scope of data collected by a private company whose customers include foreign governments; and (ii) call attention to the additional risks arising from Stratfor's insecure storage of this data.

it's difficult to effectively "blow the whistle" without revealing this information. Sure he had no authorization to do so, but the moral claim that seems to have motivated his effort--whether you agree with it or not--was that a private company has no business collecting this type of data and selling it to foreign governments and worse they storing it while not adequately protecting it against unauthorized access.

"In this last year, I've got to do more traveling than I ever thought I'd be able to. It's been wonderful. What it has done is it has blown my tiny, (?) mind. I really want to talk about it. But I'm just a bit worried because I am aware that when people go traveling, they can come back with this sort of attitude on them. You know, like, 'Yeah, I've just been traveling … yeah, traveling, no, it's like a holiday, it's just I'm more sensitive than you. Yeah, no, just traveling, mate. Just the people, you know, soooo different! Just, pace of life mainly. Just, poverty, you know. Just the street food, temples, yeah, temples. Just so, just so, really made me realize how intelligent I am.' I thought, I probably am a little bit like that, I don't want to be."

Yes. Most humans never progress past the command-ethics morality that characterizes Kohlberg's second stage (of three) of moral development.

This isn't correlated with general intelligence. Most of the intelligent people you know probably have a moral compass largely dictated by the state.
A client driven business doesn't have to give in to every demand any more than a product driven one does.

David's contention is ultimately that work-life boundaries can result in better work than simply being on call at all times, because people are more productive when work is not in conflict with their significant personal relationships.

If David is right, then client driven businesses that maintain robust boundaries will perform better than those that do not.

If 24/7 responsiveness is the highest priority for your clients, the implication is that they themselves do not understand the value of work-life balance and that by going along with their demands, you are acting as a facilitator of a dysfunctional behavior that is also bad for you and your business.
Second. I jumped from Rdio to Spotify just for that. I don't understand why people rate Rdio as the best app when basic things like search is broken: search for something, see some bad results, go back to change search, sorry, your search term is gone. Also, the Rdio is app is way too flat and there is big lack of context hint. Often time, I don't know where I am and how to get back to the "parent view", or if there is one.
No you won't. I bet that most of the hotshots in this thread that say they will tell their boss to go fuck himself will actually do the work and shut their mouths.

Right, the fish part is mostly in areas where fish is already a staple of the diet.

My point was that "vegetarian" for many Indians is similar to "vegan" in that it proscribes eggs (though not always dairy).
That's a fair assumption and accurate for a lot of the bindings. It is true that there are a lot of bindings for ZeroMQ and many were weekend projects for a single project. However it's normal and expected in a large community. To treat that as significant is like saying, "I find a lot of abandoned HTTP server projects, so this 'Web' thingy sure looks doubtful."
It is not true, at all.
They should turn down the $3 billion, yes. Unless what they've built is only worth 1/10th to 1/100th of that. If they reject such lofty valuations, rather than a small 10-20% bump, then they've been made into fools. There's a difference between selling out and making out.

> possibly productive member of society

Let me stop you right there. Hammond was not a productive member of society. He stole water and power and food, even though he could pay for it (his web design side-job paid for the trinkets he didn't deem capitalist waste). He attacked old people in restaurants. He tried to insight people in public settings to go out and vandalize and attack public infrastructure. He threatened many, many people with bodily harm. He's been in and out of prison and probation for years.

This fuck had it coming.

And let me quote the last part of the article:

He says he plans to use his time in prison “reading,
writing, working out and playing sports – training myself
to become more disciplined so I can be more effective on
my release”.

Does this sound like a stable, productive member of society to you?

The point on dress patterns not scaling linearly is an important one, especially in the plus size range. It's also true that proportions vary even within the same dress size. I'd love to see Stross' model of the store-as-scanner, made-to-measure clothing come true -- though I've seen a startup which measures body proportion in the comfort of your own home, so maybe the stores would be more for final fit and finish, if the cost works out.
Give it some time so that people install and rate it, and hopefully should go up.
Funny. It is actually the comments that made me finally read the article. Nice technique. But immediately I felt sorry for all the people that come in the room alone and do not have the courage to mingle. This technique will make them feel even more bad.
A fantastic overview of the past few years of exploits against SSL. All I can add is a companion resource you probably already know about: https://www.ssllabs.com/projects/index.html

But even that doesn't give enough practical advice as to which ciphers to pick. This blog post helps, but basically points out that there's no "perfect replacement" for what SSL ciphers people tend to be using today. That said, any attempt to avoid bad ciphers -- usually defaults -- is better than nothing. Be careful: there are even valid SSL choices that don't encrypt your data at all. Do your research when planning SSL and verify your SSL configuration once you've selected server-side preferred options. It really does matter.

http://security.stackexchange.com/ is useful too, though not as fresh as many security blogs might be.
Is that realistic state of affairs something you love, and should be encouraged, or would you rather have clearer work life boundaries so your wife could also choose to spend time with you without worrying about work?
That's not really an option in the US. So to once and for all address your main point:

1. Yes, the US system overall is less than ideal. Banks could take initiative to simplify the system and the consumers probably should demand that they do.

2. American consumers are not somehow more stupid than people elsewhere. Introduce the same incentives elsewhere and people will follow the same pattern. The only reason other countries seem not to get into as much personal debt is mostly because loans are not as widely available and ones that are cost much more. In the US this used to be the case during the majority of the 20th century. Since relatively cheap credit became available, americans started taking advantage of it. This has nothing to do with whether they are smart or stupid.

If you truly believe that mongodb is unsuitable for most use cases then I hope you're basing that on more evidence than this blog post. Citation needed please. And recognize that your statement doesn't agree with my experience. (unless you're saying, "(insert any database technology) is unsuitable for most use cases" -- that's probably true but not useful)

Being based in Seattle shouldn't particularly hurt it, as Amazon is nearby. But yes, I'll be one of the first to admit that I had never heard of it until this morning when the NYT homepage had a very, very brief item on it. I hope it really is the "old people" thing...those with experience and failures in their past can still continue to reap up money while the young'uns try to fake out the world.

It's probably a two-way-street kind of thing, though...perhaps it's not just the press who ignores them because of the lack of Stanford-dropout-angle, but the older entrepreneurs don't seek the press out as much, especially when already making profits.
Agreed, they had to change it due to legally not being a bank.
Ticket scalping is pretty unpopular with both the people who put on productions and the people who buy tickets. In my opinion it is pretty scummy.

The original ticket offices could put up their prices to the point where touting wasn't viable, but this would put people off their productions and also make them less accessible to poorer people.
Why some startups are choosing DFW over California
Yes, the narrative around Zulily is a lot less theatrical, so it makes worse news. A true story about the Blue Nile team capturing another retail niche is great, but two 24 year olds turning down $3 billion for a thing that takes temporary pictures? Better.

Do market fundamentals make good stories? Maybe. A lot of things grow and make a profit. If growth, profit and speed qualified you for coverage, we'd be reading about hedge funds, not retail firms (let alone social media software firms).

The Blue Nile team isn't ignored because they're in Seattle or they're old though. Valve is in Seattle and has plenty of old people, and they do exciting things people write about all the time. The difference is maternity clothes versus video games. Flash sales versus sexting.

Surely the fundamentals of what the company does can affect its coverage. So forgive people for not finding clothing flash sales terribly exciting.

I still want to hear more about the Blue Nile founders' stories. Gilt (which has a similar concept to Zulily) got tons of coverage as much for brand name clothes as for being run by two brilliant women. Maybe they just need to get out there. Or do nothing, because they got their IPO anyway.
I tend to agree with the post. Mainly I've used bootstrap so I dont have to focus on the design and I can focus on the other aspects. Recently I have been having to deal with getting off of the row layout I used in my initial designs.

This has been a pain and the pains keep growing as I realize that I need more control over the design. In fact, recently I have spent a lot more time fighting Boostrap and now I am spending the time I saved in the beginning by using it.
