1. From what I've heard, the mycotoxin thing is a bit overblown. Joe Rogan had Dave Asprey (Bulletproof Exec) on his podcast and at a later date, Rogan decided to get a friend to test coffees. From those tests, apparently the toxin levels weren't much different between Whole Foods coffee, local roasters, Starbucks, etc. I don't think super value brands like Folgers were included in this though. My recommendation: Buy coffee from a local roaster (see: hipsters) who care about their trade or a quality brand from a retailer like Whole Foods.

2. Grass-fed butter is a little hard to find depending on where you live. I've had the most luck in Whole Foods and Publix (I live in Atlanta).

3. You don't have to but I think you get the best consistency with one. You may have to melt the butter first and mix it in but I'm sure you could do it just fine stirring with a spoon. It saves time for me since I used to make a full breakfast every morning.
I think you need to trust Einhorn on this one. The author Alex Willhelm sounds like quite the apologist for the tech and venture industries. I'm not going to get into the technical details of the valuations because Einhorn does a much better job of that(pdf to Greenlight letter https://www.streetaccount.com/FileLinkHandler.axd?filename=S... ).

I argue though that there is something more at play here than just a bubble mentality around tech stocks. Low interest rates have caused investors to seek higher returns in riskier ventures. In my opinion this could be the cause of why so much money has gone into the venture capital industry. So along with the bubble popping because there is no greater fool to buy also consider that as The Federal Reserve begins to curtail its easy money policies all riskier assets are likely to pull back.
Let me put it a different way then. Is it possible to make a general comment on the heterosexual interactions between men and women without implicitly excluding homosexual people? And, is that exclusion sufficient reason that such general comments should never be made? (I'm not answering yes or no to these questions, just figuring out where we want to draw the lines.)

No, but denouncing everything as sexism is. Her issue is with another woman. That argument doesn't apply here. Unless you're suggesting that both me and the founder's wife are sexist.
I don't disagree with you. In fact, I am writing those services whether it is for the API component or in the web glue on projects I worked on.

I'm just pointing out that there are a fraction of Rails crowd that don't think these services are needed is partly because of how things work in Rails.

I agree with the "event" polls aspect. There should be a way to say that you are live-watching a specific event and get/create realtime polls.

Well...

If you don't know what you're trying to build, you probably aren't going to manage to build it. But in practice, you never actually know for sure, because things always change.

You should know how you're going to build it (the architecture). But in practice, my ability to be omniscient is very limited. As I implement it, I find out that my design/architecture was wrong.

Maybe the key factor is this: When you find out that the architecture is wrong, do you fix it? Or do you just hack it to get the next bit to work?
I have thought about this a lot lately, but couldn't find anything in Munich, Germany where I'm based.

I guess my point is that unless you have the machine in your home nothing really changes: They shake down the hosting provider and they are in.

In other words, what's the difference between buying email service from GoDaddy and renting a VPS from them to host it yourself?

Not being critical at all, just trying to understand if there's something fundamentally different about Mail in a Box that makes it more government-secure than other approaches. The description seems to list privacy from government snooping as the primary motivator. Is it truly effective at that? If so, why and how?

As I understand things the very idea of being secure from snooping is an illusion so long as your email is on a machine that you don't physically control in your home or office. And, even then, the best you can do is encrypt all traffic to make it more difficult --not impossible-- to capture your data.

Am I wrong?
I can understand if you don't like the syntax of string interpolation, but that argument is a cop-out.

If you're genuinely confused by it's behaviour then I'd suggest steering clear of the Printf (and even the vanilla Print/Println functions which does concatenation and automatic type conversion).

Or perhaps, a better suggestion would be to read the language specs and learn interpolation's behaviour since this "magic" is almost always well documented [hint: it's actually less complicated than Printf ;)]
on monday, we've got a new learning experience coming that you'll see has an increased emphasis on learning concepts in addition to syntax. more on that then!
I did some consulting once for a government lab. FIPS is idiotic. It's primarily protectionism for commercial software vendors from OSS competition, and it does not improve security. If anything it hurts-- it mandates closed-source options that cannot easily be audited, and it slows down the upgrade cycle thus preventing bugs that emerge from being quickly patched.
I tried to form a worker cooperative for IT workers a few years ago. I thought the idea of providing health insurance, 401k, business insurance and even a bench would be something my fellow engineers would be interested in since it was better than going it alone. As long as they knew that what they paid into the coop was going straight to the support of each other. Economies of scale and all.

But to do it you have to put up some cash to create that umbrella. The IT workers (my co-workers in many case) I spoke with were not willing to do that, preferring to take the higher risk of being a lone freelancer to participating in any kind of cooperative system.

I think people in the tech sector have a belief that they will always land on their feet and as hard as times can be, they want to maximize their earnings over everything else. And they mistrust organizations in general from both a pragmatic perspective and from being somewhat misfits themselves.

How the heck have these IT coops gotten started, then?
>>> Small-to-medium sized business owners, Wall Street traders, quants and very good engineers make that much money with none of the associated risk.

Of course it's not a lot. The corner boys are earning less than McDonald's burger flippers.

Well, there's more than one HBO-like service (e.g., Showtime, etc., exist) just as there is more than one Netflix-like service (plenty of subscription-based video streaming services exist), but that doesn't stop the fact that Netflix's streaming service is pretty much in the same position with regard to content producers as HBO was when it first ran into premium cable competition, and its route to sustainability in a market where it is no longer the sole player is pretty much exactly the same thing as HBO's was in the same situation -- stop being primarily a route to other people's content and instead become a premier content producer that also provides other people's content, so that you have (1) a compelling reason for consumers to choose you when other services exists, and (2) protection against content producers raising their rates so that all the profit from your business goes to them instead of you.

Can you discuss what you'll be doing?
A year ago, I would have thought that the antidote to burnout was start-up culture. I'm a little less naive about it now.

The reality is that you can burnout in any of these ways whether or not you're a corporate monkey or a start-up monkey. Substitute vending machines and water coolers for fancy free-for-all-cafes and foosball tables, and many start-ups have similar WORK demands of their employees. In other words, no matter how fun the culture, it can't forever mask the fact that you're working toward someone else's vision and mission.

I once thought this would be very different in a company of 50 vs 50,000. But even in start-ups, we suffer from an over-emphasis on specialized activities (for efficiency and scale). This creates jobs that lack ownership of the big picture, and therefore may create short term excitement (if the work or team is interesting), but does not equate to long term passion and fulfillment.

As a founder with an idea, part of the reason that I don't want to join an existing effort is because I want to build an organization that challenges this model. Is there a way to better distribute ownership of the vision to everyone in the company so that instead of having a bunch of employees working toward your vision, you have a bunch of entrepreneurs collaborating to define that vision? That in my mind is a major part of avoiding burnout.

The secondary piece is helping people realize that work/life balance is always necessary. As a founder, I spent one month subscribing to the Valley norm that I should just work constantly. Mentally I was fine, but physically I pinched a nerve (or something) and all kinds of horror happened. Yet this cultural attitude of fast fast fast is so prevalent, I think we should also do more to encourage people to adopt some "slow" principles.
Be upfront. Tell him you like the idea, but you don't like to feed another three mouths who bring nothing to the table. Tell him you want to continue working on the idea, and make clear terms what he will do regarding getting users and doing bizdev. Don't split it 30/70 (since you're doing all the work now) but rather keep it 50/50 to eliminate friction.
I think that the mass psychological explanations are not undervalued by austrians, just given their right prominence. We all know that errors in allocation of capital and pricing of assets happen all the time in the market. But, most errors are corrected as information manifests to reprice them and reallocate resources, from losing actors to winning actors and everyone learns a lesson. What the austrian business cycle explains is the systemic errors (Called the cluster of errors) that happen when central banks allow the errors to propagate and grow by effectively delaying and amplifying their propagation manipulation of interest rates and money supply.

I suppose in the same manner that yours did. I understand now that opinions are not welcome here; I will strive to limit my future comments to verifiable facts.
So your position is inherently hypocritical; evidence for my hypothesis that it represents a 0 sum game. A proponent of this rule is not egalitarian but means to treat those above him or her in the social hierarchy they way he or she thinks their superiors wish to be treated, while expecting those he or she thinks less of to treat him or her they way he or she wishes to be treated.

Extrapolating from this, we can surmise who wears the pants in OP's relationship.
Exactly this. I wrote a blog (at https://www.crittercism.com/blog/scaling-with-eventual-consi...) about why my company designs for eventually consistent stores from the beginning. There are a lot of use cases - and the number is growing as companies deploy large, scaleable systems - where a consistent store just isn't practical or even needed.

You can't just use an eventually consistent store as an ACID system and expect it to work, and it's almost always a Really Bad Idea to try to implement ACID on top of EC. Understand how your database works and design to its strengths instead of trying to pretend that its weaknesses don't exist.
Sure; so are declarations, or manifests. You just shrug, type them in and continue. They certainly don't affect the programming process much.

I have it on good authority that driverless tractors are either already a reality, or very close to it.

It's not really a tech workers coop.
What I personally really do enjoy is "var self = this;". Now you just overwrote the system variable pointing to the global object. What was this good for? Oh, the other language doesn't use "self" as a system variable, so it must be worthless in JS? Hmm.

Now we just have to define "var global = (function() {return this;}).apply(null);" and we have a reference pointing to the global object! Pure magic! Really? Are you serious? Sorry to hear so. (No, I was not suggesting to use some kind of more elaborate pattern for this. See, there is "self" ...)

(When ever you see "var self = this;", take your things and run.)
The 90/90 rule fits a lot of things, to the point that whenever I see it, it seems cliche now. That doesn't make it any less applicable and relevant though, which is why we see it so much.
In response to 2)

I would say the best way (from Google's perspective) would be a way to flip a switch on a per-email basis. So by default, emails aren't secure, but if you need it you can activate it. I wonder if the loss of data would be worth the increase in users though.

Apple + Patching = You’re Doing It Wrong
At some level I've always viewed this as an example of how FOSS can fail to deliver good products at times. It should be embarrassing to the FOSS community that something as fundamental as email services requires super human effort to setup, administer and maintain. I don't know how it is we got here. It's a real head shaker.
That's exactly the complaint. You don't use a connection pool to get rid of allocs and frees, but to get rid of lengthy calls that initialise the connection. Because of that, you don't want to close your connection before returning it to the pool. So, the pool will have to close those connections whenever it disposes of an object in the pool.

I don't know enough go to interpret what 'might be deallocated' means in this part of http://tip.golang.org/pkg/sync/#Pool:

"Any item stored in the Pool may be removed automatically at any time without notification. If the Pool holds the only reference when this happens, the item might be deallocated."

Is there some interface{} similar to C++ destructors, or is that a reference to the fact that the garbage collector need not deallocate unreachable objects?
The Rules Of Successful Skunk Works Projects (2012)
Looks great! I think it would add greatly if you have a chapter that illustrates the development of a simple game where many of these ideas are illustrated.

I teach coding to high-school kids. When I tell them that "We'll be building a game" attention increases exponentially; unfortunately I know nothing about how to program anything beyond simple board games, e.g. tictactoe. I can totally use ideas from your book in my course.

Also, many of the students are also in the school's FIRST Robotics Team. I noticed that programming the robot and game programming are quite a similar (at a high level). So this might help with that, too.

Thanks a lot once again, I entered my email and will definitely be following along.

Call me ethically challenged, but if the idea is really so good that you believe in it. Go build the app.

Ideas are like farts... some stink some don't but they happen all the time.

If you build the app, you can go back to the group and say. Here I built it, I'm willing to share 25% with the 4 of you.

The notion that, because someone conceived a idea, it is his, is ridiculous. Lots of people wanted to fly with wings and a motor, but the Wright bros actually put in the hours to make it so. Ideas belong to the people who bring them to life.

You have more leverage here if you have the working prototype in your hand.

And no one is going to sue over an idea for a business that doesn't exist.
What about Adam Langley's own Pond protocol, which last I checked replaced OTR with TextSecure's Axolotl ratchet? But I think someone was saying it's quite a nightmare from a UX point of view for now. Any improvements there lately? And couldn't TextSecure be used effectively as e-mail, since it's async, but just put an email-like UI on top of it?

You can whitelist from GMail while still greylisting from everyone else. Simply query DNS for their SPF records and use that for the whitelist, Google is good about keeping that up to date.

"we have no clear and unambiguous language for advertising how we would like to be treated"

Which is why being actively assertive is a good choice to make. Not sure how someone wants to be treated then ask them. What if the don't want you to ask them? Then they should have been actively assertive and wore a sign/shirt that says "Don't ask". (I realize that doesn't help the blind). Also, perhaps we should rephrase "how someone wants to be treated" to "how someone prefers you to act toward them"?

One question you could ask yourself that may help clarify your choice is what precisely do you want the phrase "systems language" to imply?

Both the very first question in the official Go FAQ and the front page of the Rust site use the phrases "systems language" and "systems programming language" respectively, but one could argue that they are not both referring to the same idea.
This basically means libressl can not be used by the US Govt or any contractor working with the US Govt, which is a HUGE number of companies. By proxy, it means that libressl will not make its way into Fedora or RHEL, which also limits the adoption of it a fair bit.

Perhaps the solution is to fix FIPS instead of berating the people forced to use it.
