Financial institutions match it against more data if that data is provided - if money is wired to "Stephen Law ID#1234" (simplifying), then it can be positively verified as being not the 'forbidden' Stephen Law, but if some item or money is sent to simply "Stephen Law" w/o any extra information, then it would be restricted, since the system is deny-by-default, of course.
>One of the nootropics measured, choline bitartrate, has carefully regulated ability to cross the blood-brain barrier beyond a certain level, and so it would be surprising if it had direct and immediate cognitive effects.

This isn't quite right. This is true of choline bitartrate itself, but IIRC it is fairly quickly metabolized into other forms of choline that can cross the BBB.

I would say it's pretty likely that increasing choline intake would have a significant effect on cognition. Humans have been consuming large amounts of fish for much of our evolutionary history, compared to today's typical diet. Given the way choline is used by our brains, and the relative plethora we had available when our brains were evolving, it's hard to believe that we get as much as we can use in a modern diet.
That last paragraph is a fairly accurate description of work at decadent BigCos.

Sometimes I look for long tail keywords (< 200 local exact match searches in Google's Keyword Planner tool). I then write mildly optimized posts for that.
On other days I am like "that should be an interesting topic and I want to write about it". When I do this I don't even think about SEO.

Would it need to be repatriated to Apple Inc? Say for arguments sake Apple Sales International in Ireland (or any global subsidiary company) has enough cash on its books to buy Tesla. ASI is a separate legal entity from Apple Inc, albeit owned by it. Couldn't ASI de jure buy and control Tesla and Apple Inc de facto control it by virtue of controlling ASI? What counts as repatriation? I'm not sure, but it's very interesting.
Wow, Trumpet Winsock. That brings back memories.

(For the "youngsters", this was how you got an IP connection to the Internet on Windows "back in the day".)
Thank you. Agreed.
Taxes won't stop any company from using their cash if they think the acquisition is important enough (using debt is also an option as well). That doesn't say anything about whether it's a stupid acquisition or not.
I personally find git staging to be a major inconvenience and would rather not have it around.

Holder claims that exposing the reason for denial of entry to the US

> "could reasonably be expected to cause significant harm to national security."

Which on the face of it is true, because:

> The bogus national security claims invoked were even more outrageous because they were used to continue the persecution of someone the government knew to be innocent.

Exposing the truth makes us look bad. Making us look bad puts our bullshit, freedom harming programs at risk. We serve those programs, those programs are the most important thing (and not looking bad).
Just what I wanted to say, in a less good way: People that care about their data create their own database.
I got my first 50,000 users in a few days by posting to reddit. And literally doing nothing else.

If you're trying this hard to market then you're probably making a bad product.
If that's really how it works then my gut instinct tells me it's wrong. We shouldn't rely on any form of currency exchange for negotiating the movement of web traffic, otherwise we risk messing with net neutrality. Bandwidth should be balanced by tracking load, not by currency.

Cryptocurrencies could prove useful as a form of identity on the network, a secure ID token that isn't traded but does allow nodes to recognise each other, I see the merit in that.
cool concept. Is it meant just for games and just mobile? Would your customers be interested in beta testing a web-based social network?
This is a lesson I have learned the hard way... You should know the answer this question before you start work on anything. If you're having trouble figuring out who your product is for, or how you're going to get in touch with prospects in an affordable way, you may have picked the wrong thing to work on.

That said, it's definitely possible to recover from being in this position. It can just take a long time.
Well, you can't legally change your name without that change being recorded and published to every govt institution that wants it, and having non-expired criminal convictions generally makes people illegible from name changes as well.
Honestly, I can't believe some of the responses here. 'Fix it yourself'. 'Fixing bugs is more important' and a number of other black and white missing-the-point dravel.

Let me help. Here are a few pieces of irrefutable truths:

- Any developer who doesn't see, or care, about attention to visual details is a bad member of the team.

- priorities. Of course big bugs are more important. Why would you even mention that.

- Good designers have their set of priorities. A good developer understands that, and doesn't say mind numbing things like 'don't waste my time'.

- Will all visual enhancements increase conversion rates? No. Does that mean you're free to be sloppy? No.

- At the end of the day, the balance between perfect code and perfect visual design is up to the product owner. Discussion about what's more important is pointless. It all matters.

The EPR paradox was resolved a while ago, strongly in favour of Einstein's "spooky action at a distance". The first experiments were done in the 70's. See:

One would imagine that the whole point of working with a protocol similar to bitcoin is that this is not possible: you can't fork the network and rejoin at a later time; that would be modeled as a blockchain fork, and your chain would be shorter than the main chain when you tried to rejoin the rest of the peers and your history would be erased.
It really depends on the business. But ideally you want to find a place where your ideal user is and promote there.
Some Example:
- If you are doing something entertainment based try posting branded content on Tumblr and promoting it through social media.
- If you are building a SaaS application for developers, try to speak at a conference.

Be sure not to fall into the trap of using users/straight growth as a vanity metric. Any website can get decent growth with a spammy strategy. You want quality users that will help grow the product.
Well... it's a significant change of words, though.

Up to recently, the German cabinet claimed to be content with the affirmation of U.S. officials to only work within the boundaries of German and U.S. laws.

The level of blind trust in "our allies" was astonishing, for example they called allegations backed by the Snowden documents "unfounded".

Few months ago they've sent a few secretaries over to negotiate an non-binding letter of "no spy" intent, that the U.S. obviously didn't want to agree to (because no autonomous state would).

So, now they finally seem to have come to the conclusion that indeed we (as a state) are spied upon, for a myriad of reasons, which is quite an accomplishment for these naíve guys and girls.
Show HN: Compare Historically Popular Names
I was after people who used iTunes to listen to their music for Beathound (http://beathound.com), so I created a survey asking them about their listening habits and offered a $100 iTunes gift card as a reward in the hopes that folks filling it out would self-select based on how much they cared about the gift card. I posted a link to the survey in a handful of survey-oriented subreddits (/r/SampleSize is good) as well as some specific ones (like /r/music and /r/itunes).

I had them leave their email if they wanted to be notified of the survey results, and then when Beathound was ready to go I sent them a nice email that said "Thanks for filling out my survey! You didn't win the gift card, but [here] are the results, and [here] is what I built using them."

I had a terrible time giving the gift card to the person who won it, because they were in Australia and I'm in Canada - if you're going to give something away for your survey, make sure that you can easily do it internationally.
How long was the turnaround between submitting to betali.st and getting featured? I've heard some people submit just a few days before going live, so by the time users get invites it's still fresh in their minds.
Fair enough. The point was that you need to reach around 90% of MHR for this type of intense exorcise (TBH the last time I read about MHR was in high school, so that the extreme range was given for someone around 23 sounds about right).

I had a different perspective on the book. To me the dystopian future had less to do with VR and more to do with oligarchy, the energy crisis, and our lack of planning for the future. In the book VR became the main character's only way to escape his harsh realities, a place where he actually had a best friend, and a place where he enjoyed experiences with his mother and was able to benefit from the automated education. The end of the book did not give me the impression that VR was bad, only that reality could be good even in a bad unforgiving world.

I know the author went to the Oculus Rift headquarters last year as they are big fans of his book.

Sure, but that doesn't make any sense in the context of a network.

You're saying that if my link goes down, or if my neighborhoods link goes own ... or if my city link goes down ... I can never rejoin the network ? Or perhaps I can never spend my traffic currency ?

Of course the links will go down all the time and various (large and small) segments of the network will be "islands" from time to time (as parts of the Internet sometimes are) ... and I wonder how currency accumulation behaves at these times.
Try adding kettlebell to it. Unlike dumbbells, working with kettlebell is very dynamic and works on the whole body. It took a while for me to find a good kettlebell routine on youtube, but it was well worth it. I do it for 15 min a day instead of 7.
Ugh, tell me about it. Every time one of these comes around I feel sorry for the poor guys at [CJDNS](https://github.com/cjdelisle/cjdns). They've been working on it for ages now and the whitepaper behind it is amazing.

Sadly, not enough attention, as I fear most of these mesh networks get.

Other idea, but gives similar 3d effects
16s of latency is interesting to think about, do think we'll get around this issue with local web page caching (obviously won't work for non turn-based games). SyncNet or something similar could prove very useful... http://jack.minardi.org/software/syncnet-a-decentralized-web...
Furthermore, moving the button 3 px to the left might take a ridiculous number of man hours, and it's demoralizing work. Most coders are making smart trade offs and balancing a number of things to maximize productivity. How much is that 3 pixels really worth? Why don't you try again, and think of a way to design the interface that doesn't require that 3px move?
Read the article. They're playing the same game. Eg, just one game, being controlled by bunches of people. One choice. Once.

And if I'm right (never played Yellow), you're not allowed to pick a starting Pokemon in Yellow. I believe Picachu is the only option.
It's not necessarily antithetical. They already operate a small fleet for the purpose of StreetView mapping. Imagine having an entire fleet of sensors all over the world gathering data all the time. Traffic data, weather data, etc. The cars could also serve as a way to show people local advertisements. If I pay for a trip from A to B, Google can advertise for all the small businesses along the route from A to B. It would be like having billboards in the car tailored to each user.

Furthermore, it would be super interesting if Google also took interest in Liquid Robotics as well if they see value in a global sensor network play.

Also, what if cars could be used as a last mile wireless play? None of this would be trivial, but they wouldn't have the cost of acquiring plots of land for antennas like telcos do. Pairing of a cellphone with a mobile car antenna could be done by comparing the directional vector of the vehicle with the the directional vector of people needing to connect to an antenna. i.e. if I'm driving along side a Google car, that's the natural choice of antenna to connect to.

You need to look at each car in the fleet as an asset with potential instead of purely as a capital expenditure limited to known revenue streams.
If appropriate, give the the elevator pitch and a 1min demo on your live product.

I want to point out the the above snippet assumes/implies a fairly deep knowledge of your intended audience, the problem space you are working in and several other things, any one of which might be the real problem as to why the OP is not getting traction.

Not a criticism. Just ...an elaboration, I guess.
You severely underestimate the value of having grandparents. In traditional societies, children are raised by grandparents and great-grandparents at least as often as by parents.

The reason is simple: hunting and gathering is extraordinarily difficult when you've got a baby on your knee. If you reproduce at 20 and now you have to take care of a baby, then the people who are in peak hunting-and-gathering condition are suddenly unable to find food. Solution: leave the baby with the 40-year-old grandparents, and go off to hunt/gather.

Problem is, a lot of 40-year-olds are still in pretty good hunting-and-gathering condition, and won't be maximising the group's survival by sitting on their duffs doing baby-guarding duty. The solution: leave the baby with the 60-year-old great-grandparents, and go off to hunt/gather.

This isn't conjectural: this is how traditional societies actually work.

Now, the 60-year-olds definitely aren't in particularly great hunting/gathering condition, so taking care of children is a good way they can contribute to group survival. The children can grow up and become self-sufficient under their tutelage. There's little evolutionary need another generation beyond them, so you'd expect mortality to increase rapidly after 60. Which of course is exactly what we see.
Photoshop cowboy is a one-man band on the run
I think I upvoted you (darn tablet). Anyway, I completely agree. It's too bad it seems to have been passed over in the rush to "innovate on mobile" and whatnot
Tone aside, I can't help but agree. My previous job (web shop) hired supposedly "rockstar" designers on several occasions, and the results were frustrating, time-consuming and in the end, largely worthless.

What did not help was that those people had "print design" backgrounds, my bosses loved the rendered (hard) designs, and not having any design or development knowledge themselves, these sorts of ludicrous standards were somehow becoming the norm.

So we ended up spending as much time trying to render some goddamn rounded corner with a gradient for all browsers than we did implementing actual functionality, generally causing us to cut corners all around (no pun intended)...

In my opinion, a good designer should know the limitations of the tools according to context and resources. As far as I know, you never hear of car designers asking the engineers to somehow find enough space for the engine, or an architect telling you that the plumber will have to somehow figure out where to put the pipes in his 36.3cm thick walls.

This is 2014 and I don't think there's a place for single-skill design queens any longer. As a developer I have to learn a new language pretty much every 6 months, and generally speaking new technologies far more often. So surely, the argument that "true" designers should not have to learn CSS (or related) is moot and let's be honest, arrogant.

To me, it's very much like the idea that politics or philosophy by themselves are vacuous. The world isn't waiting for your design like it's a god-send, you're making the design because you were asked to, by real people with real needs, all of whom, designer included, have to put food on the table.
I tried it out for about two months and saw no real benefits. Nothing changed physically.

I just bit the bullet and joined a gym. It's not that I'm lazy - I just get incredibly bored at the gym doing those reps. But I am doing 1 hour a day 6 days a week of hard workout with equipment.

Do yourself a favor and bite the same bullet: Join a gym and pump some iron.

Why would you think a designer would have no justification for a change beyond “it looks nice”? What would you assume designers don’t understand issues like pixel alignment or designing for multiple devices? Why would you think designers would be raising these issues based on Photoshop mock-ups?

Experience. I've had arbitrary requests made based on Photoshop mocks. I've pushed back against them after showing that the proposed design looks blurry on devices with a low dpi. Or showing that the UI breaks down in edges cases where the text field contains more text than what is shown in the mocks which results in unwanted wrapping. These are issues that can only be understood by someone who knows the implementation details and constraints of the underlying OS that does the final work of rendering the UI rather than relying on the constraints of Photoshop.

Do you understand that there is actual research underpinning a lot of design theory, demonstrating both how humans respond to different design choices and the fact that those choices can directly and sometimes dramatically affect metrics you care about like conversion and retention rates?

Yes. And good UX designers know this research which is why they can quickly justify their choices.
If you read the FAQ and skim the paper, the idea is that a ledger is used between neighbors for temporary imbalances, with the hope that the routing mechanisms generally lead to bandwidth in both directions being fairly equal; when this is not the case, and one node owes a non-negligable sum to another node, it requests payment, and sends the signed transaction to a miner for inclusion in the blockchain (the document states that it purposefully doesn't go into the bitcoin parts of the mechanism, only documenting three changes, none of which are to the centralized blockchain). So, yes: if your city gets disconnected from the Internet, you will be unable to spend currency (but you will still hopefully be able to transfer some packets, at least temporarily, as long as you don't reach the de minimis accounting threshold).
Never use the word 'just' when talking to developers, frequently apparently simple things have huge ramifications

Sometimes that is true, and that is so whether you’re talking about changing a design or changing the underlying implementation, and whether you are talking about web design/development or software development more generally.

Having said that, if a designer can’t request and a developer can’t implement trivial changes that really are as simple as shifting something by 3px, most of the times that means at least one of the following is true:

1. The person who implemented the previous version wasn’t very good.

2. The person who implemented the previous version was pressured to take short cuts in order to hit time/money targets and produced work that wasn’t very good.

3. There is some more general problem with the development process that means a designer requesting a trivial change and a developer then making it are expensive when they shouldn’t be.

Obviously there could be exceptions where that 3px change has much wider implications for the overall layout, but I don’t think those cases are really what any of us are talking about here.
Well, arguably there was no established customer base for WPEngine before the launch. You either were a hobbyist and hosted for free on wordpress.com. Or you were a multi-billion dollar enterprise and used Automattic's premium hosting service (serious $$$).

OK. Thinking about it, there might have been a market there all along, but how come no one served it before?
I mean Jason is crazy brilliant (talk to him, it's an experience!), but surely others could have come up with the same idea - right? I guess we'll never know, but my guess is that not too many people went out and searched for a thing like WPEngine before WPEngine
This is so good! Big fan!
However, as the report notes, Swartz had connections to the Institute: "He was a regular visitor to the MIT campus and interacted with MIT people and groups both on campus and off. … He was a member of MIT's Free Culture Group, a regular visitor at MIT's Student Information Processing Board (SIPB), and an active participant in the annual MIT International Puzzle Mystery Hunt Competition. Aaron Swartz's father, Robert Swartz, was (and is) a consultant at the MIT Media Lab. Aaron frequently visited his father there, and his two younger brothers had been Media Lab interns."

Agreeing with Karunamon completely, it's the with-us-or-against-us attitude that makes people not want to work with GNU people... they can feel like the PETA of software.
I think this is often a problem of dividing responsibilities.

In order to turn a design into correct CSS, the size and position of each element needs to be measured precisely. If the Photoshop-using designer can't or won't do this themselves, and send through clearly specified requirements, it falls to devs who probably aren't Photoshop experts, don't know what the designer was thinking, and might not even have Photoshop.

A nice side effect of having clear requirements is that everyone in the team can easily refer back to them to spot design bugs, not just the designer.

> Wait, hold on. I'm not arguing that the mind exists on a non-physical plane, that's psychology's claim -- I'm objecting to it, as do most scientists.

Ah OK, I was obviously confused.

All the psychologists I have known have admitted that they are just an inaccurate subset of neurology, none of them would follow the concept of "mind", I tend not to bother dealing with people who go for mind/body dualism!

Any psychologist who is an atheist and a skeptic pretty much has to come to the same conclusions. Meh.
there are also a few geo-location startup listings,

The issue is these startup listings are attracting founders and potential investors (and advertisers of course), just not sure if they are the place for your target audience.

Like if you are selling super-awesome soaps target house-wives, why are you seeking listing from crunchbase.com then.
