Why do you need to read the SMS as it comes in? Why can't you implement 2 factor authentication w/o a SMS via TOTP, using something like Google Authenticator? On all my accounts that I've been able to, I've turned on this "Virtual Token" based authentication, it's no great burden to enter a 6-digit number from my device to the screen when needed. Setting it up is a breeze as well, simply scan a qrcode off the screen.

FB is a big company with a lot of smart people. This approach must have been considered and then dismissed by at least one of your developers. Why the huge push to confirm and maintain a phone # connection to the service?
Warning a user when their account is approaching the limit is better than telling them they've already hit it. Google does this with the free apps version - "this account is nearing the limit of 50 users" - and it's visible but not overly prominent on appropriate management screens.
To further this point, ironically in the Middle East (like the Persian Gulf specifically) the sun is so strong even locals do not spend so much time outside with direct contact with sunlight. Everyone, and I mean everyone here, is told by medical professionals Vitamin D deficiency is so widespread causes weird problems. We have to give our child Vitamin D supplements daily, and doctors tell me we could give him horse-pill like supplement regiments; the only place in the world where this is so strongly encouraged.

So, the rest of you, just go outside.
Satoshi Nakamoto's identity is unimportant and taudry
The man who is now suspected but not proven to be the inventor of bitcoin, is now effectively, in a literal and figurative sense, a victim of mob rule.

Although being curious and maybe even finding the real man is not without it's singular reward of knowing that, the consequences of that for the man himself whether he is Satoshi or not are significant...because of US.

If you believed in the value of a bitcoin, or the idea of a bitcoin, and you thought it was valuable, you would leave this person alone whether he invented it or not.

Bitcoin may change the world in some way, or at least make a dent in it. But chasing an old man around in the effort to make news-porn out of it is really sad and against the morals of civilized society.

It's almost unfathomable how much of what is reported is deliberate misquotes or out of context statements unless you've dealt with reporters.
Steve was not fat when he was young. ANd that's when he was at his best. But hey, I agree with your comment, it's a dubious claim at best.

It is hard to blame the people in the schools (admins and such). They are trapped in a bad system, and all the suggested remedies seem to make it worse.

Heck, they can't even get healthy food because the USDA makes the cardboard pizza's nearly free. So, the food budget evaporated into other programs that does not get federal subsidies.

It is hard to think of a more dysfunctional situation, and this is where we send the vast majority of our children.

We started homeschooling our son this year. One thing that stands out is that there is no such thing as a "snow day" anymore. The school gave us the math book, but it was a waste of time. It even had errors in definitions "A trapazoid has two equal length sides" Really!?

We decided this would be best when he started saying, "Can I stay home? I want to learn something." [He knows how to pull our strings]

Personally, I don't think on such a linear level, and I'm sure many others don't as well, but when you write about such events, (in other to not look like a crazy lunatic) you have to write it as a story.
I don't think they're concluding "Fat people aren't exceptionally intelligent" or "Fat people aren't as smart as lean people".

What they found at the core of the study was that something in the fat cells was, in some way, contributing to decreased cognitive abilities.

So going along the lines of your initial thought, we can entertain the idea that "Newell, Torvalds, or Wozniak would have even higher cognitive performance than they already have if they exercised everyday and reduced their store of fat cells". That's more in line with what the article was suggesting.

Does anyone else think about quantum physics on a daily basis?
I'm no quantum physicist, or quantum mechanic, or quantum leaper, but I know one of my bits kinda flipped the day I read/heard something along the lines of (and please excuse the terrible paraphrasing, i'm just a lowly non-quantum programmer):

+ Scientists have found that sub-atomic particulars flicker in and out of existence/our "awareness" all the time (sometimes like a wave, sometimes like a particle, even the densest parts of atoms aren't "dense")

+ The phenomena of something "snapping into place" only after the scientist ("observer") observes it. Like things mainly exists as "probability clouds" and then those probabilities start narrowing as the observer narrows their focus.

Now I'm sure I'm butchering all of the scientific details (and I do apologize for that), but my question is two-fold:

a) Does anyone have a better, first-hand, understanding and/or experience with this that they can share (in layman's terms)?

b) And, if these principles are "true" — why aren't most people talking about this/freaking out?

Wouldn't this be something that's like....I dunno....kind of a big deal? Like "oh shit, the jedi knights were right"?

I'm sure there's some quantum genius on here who can just drop the mike on this one...

I have no idea why you believe measuring outputs is a "weapon against public education". Are clinical trials a "weapon against pharmacy"? Is a sales board a "weapon against salesmen"?

Your critique that "there's no allowance for poor areas, non-English-speaking areas, or special-needs kids" is simply ignorant. If anything, modern testing systems are more difficult for teachers of top students (who have nowhere to go but down). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value-added_modeling

I think you were well within your rights (and even the bounds of politeness for a cash transaction). If Dorian is not Satoshi, then this won't be a problem. If he is, this wouldn't be what would prove it. His problems are far, far larger than any one person's claim to resolve, I think.

I actually use Quantum Espresso rather extensively in my own research. It should work quite well with an interface like this. It has a sub-program pp.x specifically designed to make common plots out of the programs output.

I can tell you that it tends to be a little slow compared to some other codes such as VASP, and it does tend to take up a good deal more disk space. It has a few other quirks but it is a great program. Also its wavefunctions can be exported to XML files.

If you are looking anytime soon for people with computational physics/chemistry specific knowledge I may be looking for work soon.

Yes and you see it in full grown adults, whose only capability was ingrained in them to conform to social norms until they got their degrees.

Once they have done this, and therefore are completely entitled, they take out their entitlement anxieties on everyone else who was smart enough to learn what they needed to and didnt give a shit about social conformity or status entitlement.

Their collective anger at themselves is what creates homelessness.

And this was continuing the practise of Apple's previous Apple Desktop Bus keyboards (like the beloved M0116 http://deskthority.net/wiki/Apple_Standard_Keyboard ) which had ADB ports on both sides, mainly so that you could daisy-chain the mouse onto the keyboard. It's really dismal that this hasn't become standard on USB keyboards.
If I understand correctly, that's just a slight error of wording. They actually mean "any combination containing less than 18 keys".
Bitcoin, or how to hammer nails in with a microscope (2012)
Generally, it is prohibitively expensive. I come from a wealthy suburb where the private schools are a bit worse than the public ones, so it worked out for myself and my siblings as our parents could not have remotely afforded to send us to private schools. So far we've all gone on to great schools and careers after high school, so it's not always such a bad thing to be in the public school system, despite the OP's blanket statement.

EDIT: Here's a link to some older costs: http://nces.ed.gov/programs/digest/d10/tables/dt10_063.asp
If Satoshi disappeared for as long as he did, would he really come back for THIS? It seems like a waste of time and it's awfully risky. I don't believe Dorian is Satoshi and I don't believe that the response from "Satoshi" is Satoshi. Or perhaps Satoshi isn't as intelligent as he is made out to be and this screw up will in turn screw him, just like the other internet recluses that have fallen?
The resistors change the voltage of the resulting signal. So the Microsoft keyboard probably checks whether the circuit is closed and the voltage to determine which keys are actually pressed.
If you shut down your server you lose the data that was stored on the local drives, no different to DO. If you shut down your droplet on DO you lose the data stored on the local drives (in fact DO now scrubs the disks on shutdown after a recent security screw-up). The only difference is that most folk on AWS use EBS storage (something which DO still doesn't offer) which allows you to have drives which can continue to exist after your server is no more and allows you to attach more storage without getting a bigger server.

It's not rocket science:

instance = virtual server ("droplet" in DO speak)

terminate = shut down

ephemeral store = local disk

An EC2 instance is just a virtual server so anyone who knows Linux, Windows, BSD or even Solaris can "hit the ground running" there too.

Rote memorization might (temporarily) increase the number of facts in your head. It will not make you an intelligent and productive individual. Instead, it will train you to be dependent on other people to give you information, rather than finding or inferring it for yourself.

I explained that already, but you chose to ignore it as inconvenient to your radical ideology.

> * And your critique that "there's no allowance for poor areas, non-English-speaking areas, or special-needs kids" is simply ignorant.*

Since I've seen the devastating effects of NCLB and similar initiatives, I'm quite confident in my critique. Since I've seen many of your posts on HN, I'm equally confident that your extreme ideology will not change, so this will be my one and only reply to you.

A particulate sensor can be used to cheaply monitor the appropriate size range for pollen. Of course, it just senses light scattering, so other air polluting particulates of a similar size will be indistinguishable. Large particulates greater than 10 - 100 microns in diameter are likely to be pollen in an outdoor environment, but they can also be combustion related particulates. More information can be obtained from sensors that measure light polarization, which may allow one to differentiate pollen from other particulates of similar size.
Its unfortunate you're being marked down by people who don't realize that memorable events create recallable memories.

It's easier to remember the first time you do/experience something. The situation is novel and unique, which creates stronger mental connections that allow for subsequent recall.

If Dorian was the 15th guy to buy something with Bitcoins from the retailer, that would definitely be suspicious. But the first guy to buy something from you with Bitcoin? That's a memorable event. That doesn't mean it happened, but it does mean there's a good chance it actually happened.
Elon Musk: Areas That Will Have the Most Important Affect on the Future
It's all so clear isn't it? However, the "this is it; this is the answer" mentality that you express here is yet another instance of ideology and zero-sum thinking.

Long story short, if you're talking about a secondary layer over anarchic brutality, I'm talking about tertiary-and-beyond ones. Obviously this is no natural law, much less than your secondary layer. And I never said that competition breeds viciousness, but if you want to argue that point, I'll take the position that your secondary layer has not eliminated it.

The first step to figuring out if you've identified a problem properly is to figure out whether you are soaking in it.
And since it's impossible to have error-free code, and tests are code, therefore it is impossible to have error-free test code.

The payer uses a source address, which changes because each transaction should "kill" the original source, sending it's money to two addresses: the payee and the "change" that goes back to the payer but using a newly invented address.

You can invent a new destination address each time you transact (to get paid or to receive change). You make a new address by picking a random number and doing some math.

> I have no idea why you believe measuring outputs is a "weapon against public education".

Because the specific legal programs making state testing regimes a condition of federal funding were overtly -- by their sponsors -- heralded as tools to provide information to parents that would lead them to opt into private schools (which, those same sponsors proposed, should be subsidized by public vouchers that redirect funds from the public schools), which private schools would not be subject to the same testing requirements.

Again, I wasn't speaking at all on the issue at hand, because the issue isn't at hand. The article sucked too bad to let the issue be at hand.
