I've been roasting my own beans off and on for several years, the quality is far better than anything you can get at the supermarket and even most coffee shops (unless they are doing their own roasting). Buying green beans is quite a bit cheaper as well, so you get the best coffee possible at the best price - win win!

The air popper in the article is a popular low cost way to get into home roasting, but I started with just a heavy pot and lots of stirring, hard to keep things even. After a short while I built something pretty close to this: http://biobug.org/coffee/turbo-crazy/ Still a lot cheaper than something like the Behmor, but able to easily roast 1/2 lb at a time.

What I love the most about this is the analysis of the roast with opencv, will definitely be trying that for my next roast!
Why appeal to us? Appeal to Apple, through this channel: https://developer.apple.com/appstore/contact/?topic=appeal
With all their patent trolling and absurd tyrannical control over the app store, I have no idea why so many tech-saavy people still love Apple.

I would welcome this merger. Give them 3 months, and let them demonstrate why the telecom monopoly is bad for business, consumers, and America.
My original comment was motivated by genuine compassion and empathy. I have been starting and stopping a response to OP's reply to me for an hour now and I am unsure of how to phrase things. Your mom has a point, but when do we respect and try to prevent the pain of the next family? Every time this happens I understand and am tempted by the "now is not the time" reaction but I am also reminded of my favorite piece of writing:

"Frankly, I have yet to engage in a [discussion of suicide and depression] that
was 'well timed' in the view of those who have not suffered unduly from the
disease of [depression]. For years now I have heard the word 'Wait!' It rings
in the ear of every [parent/friend/depressive] with piercing familiarity. This
'Wait' has almost always meant 'Never.'"
Top scores in readability with these dramatic, bold, and above all, clear adjustments:

"Hemingway makes your writing bold and clear.

Hemingway shits on your long sentences. Fuck complexity.

Smack an adverb with blue. Get rid of them and pick verbs with force instead.

You can insert a shorter word in place of a purple one. Mouse over it for hints.

The passive voice sucks."
I'm not sure what you base the statement "that's what a free market solution gives you" on, since as far as I know we've never had anything remotely resembling a free market solution. In my experience, one of the most common refrains from that side is "the current solution is bad precisely in the ways that it's not free market". Granted, they're just guessing what will happen, but I don't see that as meaningfully different from your guess about people dying in the streets etc.

Also, I have no doubt that you've talked to people with strange ideas, but your conception of what conservatives advocate (or fail to advocate) is very far from my conception of what conservatives advocate. Your statements make me think you know someone like one of my friends, but you're missing the whole rest of the spectrum of conservative/libertarian/capitalist thoughts, memes, and ideas.
I can confirm that you do.

Nothing in your life has prepared you for Comcast.
Then you aren't looking. These views aren't some hypothetical thing that is derived from simple counting. They come from actual experiences of women, e.g. http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/wiki/Timeline_of_incidents
Isn't that simply because they have a "gentlemans agreement" not to have overlapping coverage, so that (to an individual customer) they are essentially a monopoly?
...and yet, somehow, Flappy Bird, with all its absurd simplicity, passed review.
IMHO, They don't love Apple perse but some of their products. In my case atleast, i don't like Apple but i would like to have a macbook-pro or something of that sort.
In related news, if you're using ASP.NET MVC, there is a way to use the familiar Razor templating engine to template your emails (or anything else, really). To do that you just need to install RazorEngine ( http://razorengine.codeplex.com/ ) - it exposes Razor in a way that it can be used for things other than rendering pages.

Here's how I use it right now:

string templateFile = HttpContext.Current.Server
.MapPath("~/App_Data/InviteUser.cshtml");
string template = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(templateFile);
var model = new
{
inviterName = "A user",
inviterEmail = inviterEmail,
manufacturerName = inviterMfr,
UserId = person.PrimaryEmail,
UserPassword = person.GeneratedPassword,
};
var bodyHtml = RazorEngine.Razor.Parse(template, model);

And the template:

<html>
<body>
<p>
@Model.inviterName (@Model.inviterEmail)
@if (Model.manufacturerName != null)
{
<span>on behalf of <b>@Model.manufacturerName</b></span>
}

Not when they're direct competitors to Comcast, Comcast is the only ISP for most people, and Comcast can legally charge Netflix et al out of the market.
As long as width stays the same. I think Apple is the only company out there that has been sane enough to keep their phone usable with one hand. With the current size, I'm already having trouble hitting the back button.
who submits wsj articles no one can read...
I've never really thought about this per se, but the first thing that comes to mind is that if things are uneven, it's generally more like some beans are burned and/or some aren't roasted enough. Either of those scenarios are going to produce undesirable flavors. I think the more common way to capitalize on a variety and depth like you mention is to roast different types of beans separately and then mix them. That said, there's a lot of complexity and variety just in single bean (or, single origin) roasts, differing levels of roasting bring out different flavors.
timewarner by its own is a monopoly. i dont think anything will change. I already pay 55 bucks for crappy 15 up 1 down speed.
And that's a silly comparison. Copyright law already excludes work created by official duties of officers of the federal government from copyright.

That's not this work, but arguably the original motives and intent of the law is subverted if what's happening here is the government outsourcing the creation of the work to a third party.

I was skeptical, but now I'm impressed. I just had a great 7-minute workout in my clothes without leaving my living room. This will definitely become my routine when I don't feel like going to the gym.
I'm posting this for posterity because this thread has long since fallen off the front page.

I was wrong about the pronunciation of "Ye Olde". When it is used as a spurious indication of antiquity, the Oxford English Dictionary says it should be pronounced (jiː əʊld) or (jiː ˈəʊldiː).

People's general understanding of mental illness is still stuck in the dark ages.

Imagine if this article was about brain cancer, but all the rest was the same. The overwhelming reaction would be, this is stupid, brain cancer happens due to genetic factors, exposure to carcinogens, radiation, etc., and obviously has nothing to do with people appreciating your work. Only the fruitiest of the alternative medicine fruit would even write such an article in the first place.

But make it depression instead of brain cancer, and then not only does the article get written, but gets a lot of "hmm, maybe he's on to something" responses.

It's wrong, it's dangerous, and it's terrifyingly common.
Wow, Tom really did nail it! You guys really went all out to explain the ways things did work and how they work now with OpLog.

You guys need to keep these posts coming!
We love what Apple did for the industry, we love using their products, we have varying levels of problems with them as a company. Some are very high, some are low, but that's unrelated to what you're perceiving, which is a love of what they did for the industry and the products that we use.
Comcast to buy Time Warner Cable for $44.2B
That's over one quarter.

The data is from their 10-Q: http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/AMDA-NJ5DZ/2956973952...

$832MM revenue from US & Canada, with 199 million users = $4.18
So you get one part in 10 million (by mass)? Seems an expensive approach...
That's not a thing
This sounds similar but different to something I did. I needed a basic calculator for work, and colleagues did too. A dead simple app, but it was free and was accepted.
That's pretty cool Denis. We don't have an official .Net client yet, but we do have some solid code samples for our REST API.

In our experience email templates are a little different from regular HTML templates; things like built-in css inlining, A/B testing, and giving access to non-technical folks.

I'm actually seriously contemplating building a rig. I have 3 spare flashes for my camera and my table is a frosted glass table. It should be able to give uniform lighting to the beans for visual analysis.
FAQ seconded. This looks like a potentially amazing product, especially love the potential home automation use cases.
I would also like to have a retina MBP. Dat screen resolution and battery...

My current POS Dell XPS laptop lasts 2 hours max, has a 17 inch 1080p screen, and weights a ton. Worst of all, the Windows drivers that Dell provides don't even work properly and cause frequent BSODs, so I can't even play games.

I would love to have a retina MPB, but unfortunately, I can't afford it.
What things? Too much introspection and not enough extrospection?
Suppose there weren't any official monopoly grant from way-back-whenever to your existing local telco and cable companies. There would still be a de-facto monopoly or duopoly: The easement permitting process, currently entirely blocked due to the monopoly grants, would exist, but as a sham... with the (mono|duo)polies coercing city politicians not to let upstarts dig up roads or string new cables. I've lived in a city with lots of fiber being put in. It's a nuisance, and without vocal public support it's easy for entrenched ISPs to argue that the nuisance isn't worth the increased choice, particularly in markets where there is already "competition" between one [horrible] "cable" provider and one [horrible] "telco" provider.

I could probably find numerous such examples among the richest companies in the US. So something about your claims doesn't work.
I had to re-read the OP because I originally read it as having never met an unemployed person that is curious about the world around them and makes a real attempt to learn how things work. I find very few adults still have that child-like curiosity about the world but the ones that do are generally very well employed.
Do you mean 15 down 1 up?
Your numbers struck me as surprisingly high. It seems hard to believe that running a ferry across the bay with 100 passengers can cost $10,000. But there are definitely articles backing you up:

http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/matier-ross/article/South-San-...

While basically matching your numbers for the new routes, the article also mentions that the effective subsidy for the older routes is about $15 per ride. I guess part of the question is how to distinguish "start up costs" from "operating costs".
Is this a PR move? Do they like paying lawyers? Leverage against the FTC? I mean, this is never going to happen.... right?
> It does help with the authenticating password over insecure connection

I'm not sure you understand what SRP is; it's built to be used over insecure connections.

> It doesn't solve the problem of securely storing passwords; the value that is stored can be brute forced to get password and is equivalent to cleartext password for any SRP using site.

I don't think you understand what SRP is; if you could do this, then public key crypto has a much larger problem then passwords and you should be worried about TLS as well.
Nice. Trying to think through that - would you be shooting the flash through the frosted glass to diffuse the light evenly?
I tried roasting my own beans once and it was a ton of work and made a lot of smoke. I just buy 5 lbs at a time from a place on the internet which roasts when I order and ships the same day. It tastes great and I don't have to deal with roasting.
There isn't an indication of what that might be on that page.
Who benefits from large corporate mergers like this?

We had Comcast in Cali, in Texas TW was a breath of fresh air, about 3 years ago all these weird fees kept showing up. A year ago we were fed up and dropped all but Internet, went digital TV OTA (over the air) plus Roku and Netflix (my brother clued me in that Netflix actually had streaming now). Roku has some interesting channels we never got on any cable.

Now we could be back with ... Comcast? Yuk. Hey as long as they don't mess with our current unlimited plan with TWC, I guess we can deal with them.
How to Design an Interstellar Communications System
It doesn't violate anti-trust laws to buy another company you do not compete with. And there are very few, if any, territories where Comcast and TWC directly compete at present – depending on where you live, you can subscribe to one or the other (or some other cable company), but not both.
Silly but this could be part of it. Apple directs people that just make an app that is a phonegap wrapper of a website to just make a website. I have seen apps be rejected for just being website wrappers or webview apps without other integration points. The fact that it doesn't tie in any services is also sometimes a factor. Integration of iCloud, GameCenter, etc always make for an easier review time.
Your dev server shouldn't be accessible to the public. If you want a server to be accessible to the public that isn't your production server (which is valid), you should be doing things as similar to production as possible (not running tests on it).
Through Microsoft Gates was helping tens of millions of people (including myself).

> Then they will have a huge "content and subscriber" stick to wave around at Aero, Netflix, Apple and anyone else wanting to play the net content hero.

That's really the play here. Get a ton more captive users in order to better extort Netflix et al for access to those customers, and beat that stick until all their over the top service competitors are either out of business or uncompetitive. Then the real screwing of customers can commence in earnest.

Mental illness is a physical disease, not something to do with "disillusionment" or anything like that.

Depressed people can be disillusioned, of course, but that is a symptom, not a cause. The cause is still somewhat mysterious, but it's biological, physical, not an attitude thing.
Because of technical merit? Everything you mentioned is politics. I can see how that's not the most important to most people.
Pretty recently filed on Jan 23rd, not saying this has anything to do with the OP's rejection, but it could be planned future technology.
The Decline of Weibo Doesn't Mean Chinese Authorities Have Tamed the Internet
North is in charge of an Amazon subsidiary which has

a) Cloned products of a smaller retailer, and then

b) Cloned the style and branding of the packaging too, and then

c) Used a registered trademark all over the product descriptions for those cloned products, and then

d) Spent who-knows-how-many hundreds of thousands of pounds claiming that it has done nothing wrong, and then

e) Lost that argument comprehensively in the High Court in London.

I think that Christopher North could end the cause of his epic whining here by growing the hell up and dropping the matter. He lost. Move on.

I love Apple for OSX, which so far remains at least as open as Windows and more pleasant to use. My phone is an Android, though. OSX and iOS are starting to seem like different companies these days.
We could also tackle those fundamental world problems if we had about 100 Bill Gateses. But we don't, because of how much the government loots.

I'm not an anarchist, so I do believe there should be a government that provides military defense. I'm not a progressive, so I don't believe the government should try to loot people to try to solve other people's pet problems.
Apple keeps chipping away at that good will.
Would you be saying that if he died of cancer instead of mental illness?

People have this bizarre idea that mental illness somehow doesn't "count". That you have to fight it, and that if you lose, it's your own fault.

You are, right here, blaming the victim of the disease. Your brother died from a mental illness. It killed him, just as surely as cancer or a heart attack might have killed him. You'd never, ever, ever say that someone who's killed by a heart attack is "selfish", so don't do it for mental illnesses either.
Apple likes you to integrate platform features though, that is heavily tied to the camera.
I can't wait until we finally get around to relegating broadband providers as common carriers.

At the very least, we need a broadband version of Glass-Steagall, which forces ISPs, cable companies, and content providers to be separate entities.

The current situation is laughably awful for consumers. I can't imagine a single informed customer actually supporting the status quo.
Good choice. Just curious. How much will Dropbox pay for a hire like Dennis?
I get the point but there are definitely more selfish things one can do. Blow up buildings, serial kill, rape people, etc. While suicide clearly affects others, on some level we and only we should have a say over what we do with our own lives.

> 2) NetFlix, Amazon Prime et al will become really popular as a result of all the customers saying "FU ComcastWarner"

I agree with your first point, but your second point doesn't follow. If anything, Comcast will price gouge Netflix out of business, and we'll be back to being stuck watching their awful "On Demand" instead.

They can do this, because Comcast owns the content (NBC), the delivery mechanism for said content (cable TV), and the only delivery mechanism (broadband Internet) for their competitor (Netflix/Amazon Prime).

On the other hand, the (failed) merger attempt between AT&T and T-Mobile was the best thing to happen to consumers in a long time, due to the breakup fee that AT&T had o pay T-Mobile($1+ billion worth of spectrum).

I'm trying to imagine a similar silver lining that could happen here, though I can't think of any.

Ok, now that we established that "trophy wife" does not mean "not intelligent", what do we say about people who make that incorrect assumption?

In particular, how smart are such people?
It's a resource allocation problem.
Is there a larger shortage of good female speakers or good male ones?
Does that matter at all? Well, if you don't care that computer science and the tech industry have pretty skewed gender ratios, no not at all.

But if you do care, then giving more women the ability to raise their profile helps to attract more women. And you should care,if for no other reason than you are unlikely to get all of the best and the brightest if half the population is unlikely to participate.
This would be a perfect point for the regulators to harp on for approval... No need to divest, just require a condition of the sale to provide a neutral network.
Global use of ‘Fahrenheit’ or ‘Celsius’
Hesitantly, I will claim that I can say this because I cannot remember every pasting a command in I did not take the time to understand.
As this event demonstrates, men are discriminated against also. And as the op pointed out, many men(like many women) are bad speakers and lack confidence. It is not wonderful that github excludes them.

Note: the values driving this post are a respect for individual rights regardless of gender. What are your values? When you clearly state them you will probably understand the point of disagreement.
In all fairness, I'm confused about what the app does. What do the colors represent? What is the y axis? etc.. Could insert a legend and some labels to make it more clear. But I could be wrong and the screenshots don't accurately depict the app. Also the Hueman ID is a bit clinical/sterile and I would say doesn't represent a good user experience, because it doesn't provide me with anything useful only a question mark. But again, this is from just seeing the screenshots. Look forward to downloading the app! Neat idea!
Just wondering if you appealed and what was the response ?
