My cooking skills are pretty much non-existent.

But anybody (and I really mean anybody except for people that can not take care of themselves at all) can learn how to cook a quick and healthy meal. The amount of skill required for healthy eating is almost nil, we're not talking 5 course meals here.

Worst case bail-out (still a lot more tasty than sludge, and a lot cheaper too) is that old bachelors stand-by, the omelet. Slightly more advanced, pastas and salads. You'll be doing fine like that if you combine that with fresh fruit, maybe some nuts, milk/yoghurt and the occasional piece of meat/chicken/fish (well done, if you're panicky about the risks involved in preparing those).

Ok, true, you probably need a fridge if you want to economize on the cost part and if you live in a place with lots of others there might be trouble from that angle. (student dormitories for instance, assuming they allow cooking).
Comcast and AT&T aren't the middle-man. They build a necessary part of the infrastructure necessary to get content to the consumer. They're no more the middle-man than FedEx or UPS. Companies like Netflix, etc, are the middle-men: selling other peoples' content over other peoples' wires.

Vis-a-vis roads: the public pays for the roads, while the cable networks have been almost entirely built with private money. Transportation is also a good example of why you probably don't want publicly-funded telecom networks. Older suburbanites vote, younger people don't. That means we have tons of highways out to the suburbs, and decrepit public transportation.

My parents switched from FIOS back to DISH because they missed their low-res Indian channels. They'll be the people voting to decide how much public money to allocate to broadband. Will you be happy with their decision? Especially now that states and cities are out of money? When push comes to shove and it's shoring-up public pensions versus building broadband, where will the money go?
I also use RCS but if I know that I should turn off something possibly only temporarily I won't delete all the code, especially if it is spread over more files. I can't imagine you wouldn't. Even big chunks of code can be turned off by a few carefully chosen "if (0)" or commenting out a few of the calls. So your argument is still invalid.
Oh ok, got you. Thank you for clarifying.

Sure! As long as that's not polar bear liver [1]; you be mindful of other unlikely dietary sources of unusually high retinol content like sweet potatoes, pumpkins or cod liver oil [2]; and keep up with regular check-ups; you'll surely avoid hypervitaminosis A.

That requires a great deal more planning and time.
Arthur C. Clarke's has a rather splended wee short story called "The Last Command" that deals with space based deterrence.

NB I wouldn't recommend looking this up on Google as nearly every description gives away in the twist in the ending.

CAcert.org is no longer included by default in many major distributions. They were removed from Debian a while ago. And they also started using SHA-512 (?) signatures that don't work with some TLS stacks, notably GNU TLS.
My first attempt at deploying to Heroku was a very simple admin based app to demonstrate something to a friend. That was really simple and went without problems. Then I tried a slightly larger app and it was a disaster.

A lot of the problem is that I develop in Aptana / Eclipse, and the file layout that Aptana expects is different from what Heroku expects (Aptanas has one extra directory at the top level, yet Heroku expects some of its files in the top level directory).

In the end I have a slightly hacky try / except around some imports in urls.py to get around the problem.
Is this relevant in data analysis?

Plan 9 and Inferno are very related, but I wouldn't say Inferno is "Plan 9 rewritten in Limbo", nor is Limbo equivalent enough to Go for the comparison to make sense.

First, the Inferno kernel is written in C, not Limbo, and is somewhat similar to the Plan 9 kernel to the point that is moderately feasible to port drivers from Plan 9 to Inferno.

Second, you could say acme was rewritten from alef (not C) to Limbo, and maybe you can say cat, tail, mk and yacc were "rewritten in Limbo", but soon after the list ends. Most utilities are genuinely new utilities that make use of the different abstractions provided by the operating system. Of course there are lots of high-level similarities, but they are quite different programs.

This brings me to my next point, the abstractions provided by Plan 9 and Inferno are very different. Different enough that a new set of tools makes sense. For comparison, rewriting C code to Go uses the same underlying abstractions, so it doesn't make as much sense.

Another point I want to make is that compiled Limbo programs are extremely small, and Limbo is dynamically loaded, unlike Go.

Yet another point is that Limbo programs use reference counting plus a real-time garbage collector for cycles, which is made easier by Limbo and Inferno constraints. Go uses neither and the language is different enough to prevent a real time garbage collector.
Actually I think its primary use is as a database. Its only the purist who can't see that's the main use for a spreadsheet.

Thanks for the pointer to here. Letter writing campaign to Kate Cushing worthwhile?
OP here. My zsh configuration, done through oh-my-zsh, contains the following line:

zle_highlight=(region:standout special:standout suffix:bold isearch:bold,underline,fg=yellow,bg=red)

As you can see, one of the items here is "isearch", and it's both bold and underlined, with a yellow foreground and red background. I set that up as part of a custom theme that I wrote for oh-my-zsh.

I'm not sure if zle_highlight is part of the standard zsh package. I'm sure that there is a way to get bash to do something similar, but I don't know what it would be. (I switched from bash to zsh about 4-5 years ago, and have only good things to say.)

Sure they do. But the world population in general does not and that is the bulk of the people exposed to this behaviour. In essence it looks as though the US reneges on its obligations and what the underlying cause is does not really matter. The usual attitude towards signatures is that they are somehow binding, signing something and then not abiding by it is very bad PR, it makes you look dishonest.

The economics term 'inferior good' refers to one which has negative income elasticity of demand, i.e. a good for which an individual's demand falls as their income rises.

Of course, which goods are inferior will vary depending on where you are on the scale. Someone may consume more margarine as they become more affluent, but at some point they may switch to butter or an olive-based spread. At this point in the scale, margarine has a negative income elasticity of demand.
Hacker in London? Kivo (YC S13) is making early developer hires
We're building Github for documents and have started by creating the best way to annotate and share presentations. We're a team of three based in Soho, London. You'll be technical hire #2 and have a huge amount of responsibility and ownership of the product.
We're looking for excellent full-stack and front-end developers. Our stack is Scala / Play and we are about to make the move to Angular, but we know brilliance comes in many forms, so we'd like to hear from any exceptional hackers.

Customer feedback is our guiding light and we obsess over product and ux, so working closely with users in shaping Kivo should excite you.

Equity grants will be WELL above market for first hires and salary will be highly competitive. We want new partners, not just employees, so we are looking for people who are as driven to succeed as we are.

We're hiring for people who want to help lead the team as we continue to grow, so you should be excited to shape the development culture of a fast growing start-up.

We also know there's more to life than work. You get gym membership for gyms across London and an extremely sociable team to work with. We love Poker, eating out, tennis, and nights at the pub.

If this sounds exciting, ping us (leo@kivo.com) and we'd love to buy you lunch and have a chat.
It is my understanding that XMPP also presents a problem with regards to mobile due to inefficient design from a power usage point of view. I could certainly see how that would be reason to look into fixing or outright replacing XMPP but not opening the replacement protocol is just shameful.
But none of these languages will ever adopt Hindly-Milner type inference, which is the staple of the ML family. I mean, you have fist class functions and pattern matching in Erlang, and a library for pattern matching in Clojure, but this doesn't make them members of the ML family. And I really don't see Java and friends evolving much beyond that.
If we've learned anything in the last two decades it's that speed matters more than memory safety.

I think that the quote works for Internet advertising because the similarity is that the bus company or building owner, like a web site owner, chooses to take money from advertising companies because they offer the best return vs effort return. For their money the ad companies try to jam their message into your brain.
Depending on your target niche, well timed post to a subreddit will do plenty.

Case in point to show how I use supplements: My kids won´t take liver, no matter how hard I try to "hide" it. So, I give them 1/4 teaspoon per week of cod liver oil (green pastures, fermented).

Again, it´s not the supplements; it´s the product.
You make an interesting point but there is a 2 year supply of engines already shipped so the ban will not have much immediate effect, and they are planning a transition to US only produced engines.
Critiquing this article's approximation of a field-biology study would be a great exercise for young science students. I envision a roomful of kids shouting "where is your control group"?

I know nothing of mosquitoes and I haven't had my coffee and yet I can reel off three alternative hypotheses that need to be checked, from the prosaic ("experimenter cannot reliably identify viable mosquito larvae", "water temperature was incorrect and mosquitoes died") to the less prosaic ("plastic box leaches chemicals into water which poisons mosquitoes"; "a tiny frog, perhaps attracted by the alluring sound of this buzzing box, visited the pond and took the opportunity to snack on mosquito larvae". Oops, that was four. I'll get my coffee now.

Also, citations. Just one, pretty please? Surely a thousand people have published on this problem before. What was wrong with the version of this approach that they probably tried back in 1953?
Interesting. For the record I agree with you. Resource scarcity is a looming issue and a game changer.

And yet here we are... happily driving our SUV's 50 miles each way to sit at a computer.
(Presumably the Easter Islander that cut down the last tree didn't stop and think "gee, maybe I should have a tiny fire tonight" either.)

So from the point of view of our current way of doing things I do have to say... the long term economic outlook doesn't appear so great. But there are things the "could" happen to change this. A breakthrough in energy (unlikely). A sudden loss of 2-3 billion people from the planet (sadly, more likely). A war resulting in an entirely new social order which is more efficient (or less efficient). Just a lot of factors make it hard to say what will happen.
A self-signed certificate is free, you don't need a CA-issued certificate just to use encryption.

Most XMPP servers on the internet today are forgiving of certificates they don't trust - they will encrypt the connection and then use "dialback" to authenticate you based on DNS.

Obviously falling back to DNS is not as secure, and as mentioned in the blog post - there are people working on ways to allow people to use any certificate (including self-signed) securely.
I'm traveling via motorcycle this summer across the US and plan to eat Soylent for around 70% of my meals. I don't trust myself to plan, carry, take time to prepare and cook well balanced meals for ~60 days of traveling. Even freeze dried meals seem likely less balanced than this, and still take up more time/space.

I doubt I'm the target market, but it seems a perfect target for those traveling.

Developers Dilemma – the hardest task for a developer to solve
Is there any concern over the use of rice protein vs whey or another complete protein?

My understanding is that rice protein comes up short with the amount of Lysine present. Not sure if Lysine shows up in other ingredients at high enough levels to compensate.

But meditating for 2-3 hours PER DAY seems a bit excessive, no?

Then meditating for 10-16 hours per days seems really excessive.

It's almost like you're saying, these people who meditate, they don't really meditate, they just pay lip service. To meditate you have to be dedicated and spend 2-3 hours per day doing it if you're going to it correctly.
You have to understand that Cable and Sports is a mutual lovefest.

I don't follow this logic. Both do generally the same thing, but with different approaches. This to me would make a comparison of the two different approaches very valid.

Apples and oranges.

ABP filters out (or, more correctly, modifies by styling them to not display) DOM elements, HTTPSB filters out HTTP requests. That's two completely different approaches, each with its own pros and cons, but neither is a real replacement for the other one (although both apples and oranges are suitable for eating).

On an unrelated note, a fun approach to fix ABP would be to introduce non-cascading style sheets, possibly with limited styling capabilities, specifically for adblocking. Those could be well-precompiled and run extremly fast while taking much less memory. But that would require hacking browser internals, so that's not gonna happen.

I disagree with your basic assumption - that we want to preserve a web where services are paid for by advertising revenue. And so I actively encourage others to defect because I want to see that model come crashing down. The more people who do it, the better off we all are.

They are still supporting XMPP for c2s connections, though; i.e. if you are on a phone, you can use XMPP to connect to Google. What they don’t support is s2s, which – unless you somehow run your own XMPP server on your phone – has nothing whatsoever to do with mobile :)

FWIW, they could “easily” build a mobile client that connects to Google via some nonstandard protocol which preserves energy on the phone while being mapped to the standard XMPP protocol from Google onwards.
Show HN: UserTalk – Olark for Voice Support
A bit slimy to defer to the penultimate paragraph this minor detail about Experian's role, which could also plausibly explain its earlier claimed ignorance of the severity:

"According to U.S. government investigators, the data was not obtained directly from Experian, but rather via Columbus, Ohio-based US Info Search. US Info Search had a contractual agreement with a California company named Court Ventures, whereby customers of Court Ventures had access to the US Info Search data as well as Court Ventures’ data, and vice versa. Experian came into the picture in March 2012, when it purchased Court Ventures (along with all of its customers — including Mr. Ngo). For almost ten months after Experian completed that acquisition, Ngo continued siphoning consumer data and making his wire transfers."

I suppose I do take a more macro level view, and have essentially written off many of the neighborhoods (what the banks and others should have done long ago). There are detached little islands of residents trying to make a stand, but -- as that blog shows -- they can't. Much of Detroit the urban area should be returned to nature and then, in a planned and considered fashion, built out again. To some degree this is happening, and it's interesting that many of the blog posts show houses in a very high level of disrepair, followed by an empty field: For the good of Detroit, the empty field is often a better state, and the bail-out Detroit should have gotten is billions to tear down houses and remediate lands that are long past the point of no return.

The resurgence does absolutely have to do with the sense of pride in the city, and the sense that it is a city for doing business, both required for the city to come back. Neither of those help houses neglected for decades on remote strips of perilous streets with no rational civic services.

No, solar panels turn light into the change of energy state of an existing electron. This is why they operate at the characteristic band gap voltage of the semiconductor from which they are made.

This experiment is about creating an entirely new electron/positron pair.
FWIW, if you get a domain with gandi.net, your first year of SSL cert is free, subsequent years are no more expensive than the domain itself. This is only for the basic single-domain cert though.
Solar panels add momentum to existing electrons.

This is actually quite exciting.
Naive implementations of XMPP on mobile can indeed get quite power hungry, but it doesn't have to be that way. Thankfully I've seen quite a bit of interest lately from mobile clients who wish to improve on this - all the resources are out there.

Some links:

- http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0286.html

- http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0273.html

- http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0198.html

XEP-0198 is currently gaining adoption quite nicely for example, it allows for reliable streams (resume them without message loss or the need to re-sync everything if you get disconnected).

I don't think XMPP is necessarily power-inefficient.

Every Android device with the Google services installed actually has an XMPP connection open the whole time (albeit with some protocol changes); it's how push notifications work on Android.
No, it has repositioned and changed orbit repeatedly - while it may all be classified, much like other classified satellites, there's a horde of amateurs watching and tracking.
There are parties vested in _not_ supporting CAcert - so that won't happen. But I'm not even talking about those:
CAs centralize trust and trust on the internet is a hot topic right now.

Right now there's a certain homogenity in which CAs are supported by vendors. And for those that aren't, it isn't much of an issue in the web browser because users can manually click through.

Now consider the talk about "Why is CNNIC/TurkTrust/Symantec in my list?" that's raised by various parties recently (concerned about the influence the governments of China, Turkey and the USA respectively can exert), what happens when XMPP servers decide not to trust CNNIC (to pick one)?

Users will only notice in that they can't talk to peers. They won't know which server is responsible (or if maybe the GFW is kicking in) and there's nothing they can do about it.

From the point of server operators, with mandantory CA signatures they have to decide if they're rather willing to drop perfectly fine connections or if they're accepting "secure" connections subverted by parties they weren't willing to trust in the first place.
I know that android smartactions allows you to set the phone to ring for only certain white listed numbers.
Yes, XMPP is power inefficent as the server can send presence notifications at anytime to the client even though the mobile user is probably not interested in notifications about who of his 200 contacts just went away or came back. Unless he looks at the roster.

BUT this can be solved easily, when you control the server and the client. And this was already solved by google for years with gtalk. So this is not an excuse to stop federation.

I spend more than $10/day on lunch alone. Without eating out.

"Cheap" varies greatly by location, and expectation, and how much time you're willing to put into cutting cost. And if you're considering Soylent, presumably spending lots of time planning out your meal is probably not high on your list of desirable activities (I could probably easily cut my lunch cost, but I value the time it'd take at more than my potential savings)..
