When you run into the cases it is much better to write a plugin than to put imperative code into your build. Gradle builds are IMHO a huge step backwards for others trying to use someone else's build.
Google originally pioneered Gears as a way to get webapps to work offline (at a time when HTML5 was still being hashed out by WHATWG) and tried to get it adopted as an open standard (http://gearsblog.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/gears-and-standards....).

Spreadsheets had (view-only) offline capability via Gears as far back as 2008 (see http://googledocs.blogspot.co.uk/2008/04/view-your-presentat...) but this was then discontinued in favour of the standards methods. FWIW, they have been helping with the HTML5 storage APIs from the beginning.

The HTML5 way of doing offline is AppCache, which Google have used for other products (http://googlecode.blogspot.co.uk/2009/04/gmail-for-mobile-ht...) and are presumably using here (or the alternative FileSystem API - http://dev.w3.org/2009/dap/file-system/pub/FileSystem/).

I suspect the Chrome-only limitation is due to the differences in the way is currently implemented, for instance:

* Until Firefox 26's release yesterday, it would prompt for each site that wanted to use AppCache (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6881368).

* Firefox doesn't handle the no-store directive well

* Chrome Apps can be granted unlimited storage (https://developers.google.com/chrome/whitepapers/storage#unl...)
The site has a page on "Vimanika shastra"[1] ("Science of Flying Machines"), which is known to be a bullshit text from the 20th century[2].

I don't have a number I'm ready to share in public. That's the big thing that's holding up a Kickstarter. Once we've got a manufacturing partner and know what our costs are, I'll be in a better place to give you a number.

We're working to build something that's going to work well and look gorgeous for a really long time. It's not going to be cheap, but I don't think we could justify charging more than Kinesis do for the Advantage.

Funny enough, manual labour in my area is a fairly high paying occupation. So much so, that everyone I know who went into construction is married with fully paid off condos before the age of 30.

It may not be glamorous, but it puts them firmly in the middle class.

Developers are upper middle class like doctors and lawyers, and hiring shows the same tendencies to networking: wherein its not what you know, but who you know to get work. Look at all the people on HN who brag that they don't apply for jobs.
Webvan was the best thing born of the 1st dotcom era, sadly it was unsustainable. Their timing was perfect for me - I was car-less in SF with kids and the local grocery store had recently gone under leaving me with a bus trip in order to grocery shop. Delivery to my 3rd floor walkup was awfully nice in comparison and well worth the approx. 10% markup. They had really nice crates too, I have 3 that I still use for various things.
Thanks for sharing and glad you've been almost off cigarettes entirely.

That said, nicotine is a mild stimulant, not a depressant, afaik. It's alcohol that's a depressant.
Web Video Startup Ooyala Raises $43 Million From Telstra
>A depressant, or central depressant, is a drug or endogenous compound that lowers neurotransmission levels, which is to depress or reduce arousal or stimulation, in various areas of the brain. Depressants are also occasionally referred to as "downers" as they lower the level of arousal when taken. Stimulants or "uppers" increase mental and/or physical function are the functional opposites of depressants.

Hence the reason for my comment. Cigarettes objectively do the opposite of this, which is why they contribute to heart attacks. And when you say LSD is an "upper", you're definitely using it in a different way than most people use it.
> And I suppose women should also think twice before putting on that slinky dress, or walking down that street at night, or going out with that guy? Victim-blaming is victim-blaming, regardless of context. The person who behaved wrongly in these circumstances is the person who uploaded the pic to a revenge porn site, not the person who took it, full fucking stop.

Yes, if only things were so cut and dry. I won't disagree that the person who behaved wrongly was the person who put the photo on the site, just as I would never say it's a rape victim's fault they got raped, or someone's fault they were murdered.

That being said, we don't live in a perfect world or society, and we should take reasonable precautions.

It's all good to tell the police to do their fucking job and protect citizens, but I've been in places where you simply don't go out at night, where the police will rob you and leave your body in a field, and where you won't even tell anyone what neighbourhood you're staying in... Where women are raped and have no chance of justice ever, where men are murdered simply for walking down the wrong road, or sometimes simply for living in the wrong house. I personally know/knew some victims. I don't think its unreasonable to suggest exercising caution...
Not sayin', but you're getting warmer.
The DirectX installer (and other dependencies) that most games want to run the first time they load requires admin access. A few games want to run the installer every time the game runs if the user isn't running as an admin. You can skip dependency installation sometimes, but other times games will crash until you take care of it.
People also need to vote with their dollars. I understand thats only part of it but its a necessary part. Look at what T-Mobile has done for wireless plans, if more people switched to them for example, I'm sure AT&T/VZW/Sprint will wake up and start offering better pricing/plans. It won't fix the issue, that boils down the law makers need to make the landscape more competitive and easier to compete in. But at least it helps in the short term.
Awesome. I'm looking forward to it.
Now imagine that instead of her boyfriend, someone who hates her finds the diary.

He is using the regular medical meaning of the term.

To correct him, though, nicotine acts both as a stimulant and depressant.
nicotine is a stimulant. That's been known forever. People when tired prop themselves up with coffee and cigarettes. So it seems totally believable.

The study doesn't say the cancer and heart problems don't exist, or are outweighed in any way. It just says nicotine has some positive effects. Most drugs do ... that's why people take them.

I smoke. I don't want to die. So that's why I am trying to switch to a vapouriser. Every time I give up smoking, I get hit by a crushing amount of work at some point and then I start smoking again, because it makes me more effecient and stay awake longer. If I could have the productivity without the cancer that would be brilliant.
Reading the story of your keyboard iterations was a lot of fun, and I'm very interested in finding a mechanical keyboard that works for me. But I have to ask: how can you possibly type with all those keys under your wrists? Am I the only one wondering this? What am I missing?
Ahh but now you violate the cost assumptions of sequntially optimized delivery routes, exploding your fuel costs...a phenomenally bad idea. Tell me, are your delivery vehicles 10x more fuel efficient than a UPS van? Because that is the minimum range of efficiency that you'll have to acheive to make your plan viable, let alone cost effective. I'm not exaggerating either... you just added an entirely new dimension (delivery windows) to an already NP-hard Traveling Salesman problem. I wouldn't be surprised to hit a 100x increase in fuel costs for a pure scheduled delivery.
Believe it or not, becoming "homeless" and couchsurfing friend's flats for some time() can be a way to retake some freedom in your life. Not having a key anymore in my pockets really felt like something new after having my own place for close to seven years.

Absolutely. We lock our doors at night, we lock our car doors, we do our best to prevent becoming victims. Not because we think it's our fault if it happens, but because we don't want it to happen because at the end of the day, it's our lives that are hurt...

I'm not sure that your scare quotes around "scientific study" are an interesting enough argument to tempt people to put much of an effort into responding to you.
Adds nothing? The article doesn't directly mention Ariely's academic appointments at high-tuition universities Duke and MIT! He's just "behavioral psychologist and good friend of Making Sense" and someone who's taught a MOOC.

That selective reporting could make a casual reader think his assessment is being offered against-financial-interest. "Pay for college, not the MOOCs like I've taught!"

But quite to the contrary, suggesting people spend $61K/year on a prestigious university is strongly aligned with Ariely's unmentioned (although easy to find and well-known) professional affiliations and paychecks.

I don't think this disqualifies his analysis – he's got obvious expertise as both as a MOOC teacher and part of the university system, and I've enjoyed his writing and research. But it's definitely relevant, when it's left out of the story/headline. When delivering a pro-high-tuition-college message, in addition to whatever other insight he brings, he's also a pitchman for the institutions that employ him.

Or for comparison, if someone reported, "popular author reports that Apple iOS devices are definitely worth the price premium", wouldn't the fact that the author also worked for Apple be a relevant thing to know?

eGo-T is amazingly close to actual smoking. Get a tank upgrade like the Vivi-Nova and boom, you get a hit so strong you might cough at first.

Wiener posted selfies to his public Twitter stream and then claimed he was a victim of 3v1l hax0rs. He made his sexy pictures in a matter of public concern when he spent $45k of campaign funds on investigating claims that he knew to be specious.
I have an EVO-D battery with a vivi nova atomizer tank. This works pretty well for me. You can switch out the vaporizer coils to make sure you get a nice fresh one, and the replacement coils are really cheap. You're going to want 2 batteries so that you can charge one while using the other. They charge with USB.
"sophisticated troll", "ridiculous", "takes the cake", "pretty ridiculous". That's not a critique, that's just making fun of a study because it doesn't bode well with your prejudices. Especially since you can't even write a compelling, medical and scientific, counter argument.

Effects of nicotine on the brain are well known, historically and scientifically. Nothing "ridiculous" about it.

(That smoking also causes cancer, which is the major downside, is beside the point of course. They are not suggesting that it does not)

Hm? There are only two keys that actually sit under the heels of your hands. And the keyboard is designed with a higher top plate than usual so that resting your palms on the butterfly's wings puts your hands in a fairly neutral position.
Running an Ego C Twist + Vivi Nova right now. Two batteries, a charger, and the vivi nova came about to about $40. Plus some juice, ended up at about $60 ( I got a lot of juice though).

/r/electronic_cigarettes has a pretty good FAQ on these types of things, ignore their ridiculous $200 setups though, a bit overkill IMO.
If I recall my history correctly, then through most of human history the notion of privacy has not been anywhere near as robust as it is today.

We live in "luxurious" times as it pertains to what we consider privacy today.
I'm curious to know who hates snus enough to downvote me:) But snus is fantastic, well-studied and well-regulated, has objectively contributed to a large reduction of cancer rates in Sweden, and is cheap and easily importable.

Smoked for 18 years, snused for 2, and tobacco free for 2.

Dexedrine is dextroamphetamine (commonly prescribed for ADD and other things, like staying awake). Methamphetamine is a different chemical with an important legal distinction (if subjectively and objectively very similar).
You can sign up by clicking the blue button at the top of landing page that says 'I want to share my experiences'. Sorry we don't call that out more!
Meth is quite hard to get, via prescription, unfortunately. Its bad rep in pop media has resulted in it becoming overcontrolled by the FDA. It's quite a useful - but little explored and used - therapy for AD(H)D.

You'll nearly universally get straight d-amphetamine at the doctor's office.

You are right that no biotech is required to find terrible viruses from history. Access to those viruses is pretty well controlled though: you can get a stern letter from the CDC if you try to order DNA that looks like smallpox or RNA that looks like the 1918 Spanish flu. It's happened to my roommate during his virology research--they do monitor these things[1].

BUT, more importantly--you don't even need fancy biotech to engineer a terrible virus. No sequencing, recombinant DNA, fancy BSL-4 labs, well-educated virologists, none of that. All you need is a captive population, something any self-respecting evil warlord should be able to get. (Certainly the North Koreans, the Taliban, etc. have access to plenty of prisoners.)

The same simple mechanism used by Fouchier (the guy who created the controversial bird/ferret superflu) can be applied to humans: serial passage. Put any moderately bad flu virus in a certain number of prisoners, then expose them via air circulation to other prisoners. Take the sickest people from the second group and expose them to another uninfected group via air circulation. After five or six passages the virus in the last group will show extraordinary virulence and transmissive capabilities because you've applied artificial selection.

To seed the virus and start an attack, you take a few of these prisoners, expose them to the worst virus, and put them on planes to your target country while they are still in the incubation/transmissive period.

Obviously, this is a nightmare scenario that I hope never happens, but the idea that terrorists or evil dictators need fancy science to engineer superbugs is false. The same methods farmers have used for centuries to grow taller corn and leafier lettuce can be applied to viruses by anybody with enough prisoners and moral depravity.

[1]: It should be noted that in-house synthesizing costs are coming down, though, and we won't be able to rely on the safeguard of companies automatically BLASTing ordered sequences against a CDC blacklist for much longer.

>If there's anyone on HN who actually believes this "scientific study", please explain why.

Please explain why you use quotes around "scientific study". What's unscientific about it?

Saying that various drugs, such as nicotine, have effects on our brain (concentration, focus, relax, depression etc etc)? That's a scientific given, and has been formally studied for centuries.

>* I think this is complete garbage that I hope never reaches the eyes of young & impressionable people*

Young and impressionable people? Sounds like some Southern bigot in 1955, talking about this "devil's music".

>Smoking is bad for you any benefit it may or may not have is completely eclipsed by the mountains upon mountains of evidence showing the damage to the human body.

Which is totally beside the point. They are not suggesting you start smoking.
The important question is not if the real live college experience is much more valuable than an online course (it is), or if a college graduate income over their lifetime is higher than a non-grad (it is).

Pretending that college-grad income levels compared to non-grads is a meaningful measurement (obviously a number of factors goes into ones income, most of them psychological) - over the last 20 years - what has happened to the ratio of college expense to increased income over a lifetime. That trend line is one important measure of opportunity. So in this regard the student of 20 years ago was better off.

The costs have skyrocketed in the US in a truly immoral way. Combine that with the current practice of mortgaging your entire future with ridiculous loan amounts, it is an absolute disgrace.
