For some background, egg production briefly became a political football in the UK in the 1980s. A government minister correctly but unwisely said that a majority of eggs were infected with salmonella. She promptly lost her job, but behind the scenes, egg production was transformed. So this subject has probably been addressed here in the UK with much greater scrutiny than it may have been elsewhere.
(I've edited my previous comment a bit to clarify, probably after you read the first revision and started commenting, so just a note)

(Anyways, thanks for responding and continuing the conversation. I definitely appreciate this chance to talk with you.)

------------------

ARE they something that can't be thought of and selected separately, though?

I personally don't like that kind of thinking. It's similar to adding DRM to programs so that it stops pirates- just replace "DRM" with "branding uniformity" and "pirates" with "competitors".

Instead, if someone was truly interested in being an obnoxious competitor, they would "crack" the "DRM" by forcibly separate the branding. Read this in a TV advertisement voice: "Rock with Cydia Substrate, ALL of the Cydia extensions, but none of the slow!" "Replaces the installer, keep the plugins!" Sounds a bit familiar, hm? The end result is still the same, just like with piracy.

If anything, this may be worse. It pollutes your own brand, and if issues comes up, you can be blamed even more for stuff that wasn't your fault.

By keeping the code modification clear, you definitely would be able to better advertise to the Android side of things, and perhaps have other benefits with the current jailbreak community. You are in the unique position of being the only core jailbreak dev where all of the code that they ship doesn't need to be completely replaced every jailbreak. Unfortunately for other jailbreak devs, due to this, people have established an "everything is replaceable" mentality. People can clamor to kick devs out of the scene, like I0n1c. Cydia is not completely immune: if people think it is just a store and a frontend for APT, then people will think that almost any competent programmer can replace you- this is bad! By giving Substrate the individual brand that it deserves, and advertising the difficulty in building such a live code modification platform, it becomes that much more important in consumer's eyes.

Even if you don't care about the average jailbreak community member (seeing some tweets with death threats over not releasing something fast enough... make such a perspective all too understandable), the thing is that the next person to come along to compete will originate from this jailbreak community. Marketing a stronger brand to emphasize the irreplaceability of Substrate may only gather more respect and benefit you in the long run.
In Italy some supermarkets refrigerate them, some not.
I personally refrigerate them at home.
As for the eggs, I don't remember ever seeing unrefrigerated eggs in Slovenia, Italy, Bosnia, Croatia, Portugal, Spain, Austria, Germany and France, but I haven't been in the UK yet.

And markets in Slovenia must have eggs refrigerated.

Translated from http://www.uradni-list.si/1/content?id=45033
"Eggs must be cooled under 5C, except during transportation when they can be at more than 5C, but no more than 24 hours."
Unfortunately all the comments erupted into an argument as to the definition of Europe. I live in London, and guess what, London happens to be in Europe. Therefore the English are European.

The article is written for a US audience, and does not need to distinguish every European country, but they still did:

"It seems that different egg storage conditions come down to the different ways that eggs are farmed and processed in the U.S. compared to the U.K. and other European nations.

Yes, that was a joke. We make fun of UK for driving on the wrong side too sometimes.
No refrigeration of eggs in stores in Ireland. When we get them home the leprechauns immediately steal them from the shopping bags so we have no idea whether we'd keep them in the fridge or not, pesky leprechauns.
They mention this in the article:

> This same STAGE.DAT got Prodigy in trouble in the early 1990s when users discovered that it could contain fragments of data culled from their PCs. As it turns out, Prodigy's client was filling in "empty" portions of STAGE.DAT with random snippets of system memory. Users were convinced Prodigy was spying on them, uploading this data to its servers (it wasn't); Prodigy denied this and released a tool for the paranoid to zero out their STAGE.DAT files.
I was backer for pebble, and i have been using it now more than one year.
My behavior with phone has changed. Nowadays if I’m getting mail, txt or call, i will glance pebble screen (phone is silent mode all the time) what it is about or who is calling. Usually it is not something what i need to take action right away, will respond to it later.
When i look others who take the phone out, unlock it, read message and put it back, this seems so annoying in a meetings.

Bad thing is that you can have too much stuff coming to your pebble, but anyway it is just matter of prioritizing what you want in your wrist.

Example i did get mail during writing this, quick glance and that back to writing.
That was the joke.

It's unfortunately, not uncommon for stories to describe something Europeans do (when they really mean Britons), that I seldom can relate to, until I realise they are only using the UK as a sample. Although, I should point out, that sometimes it's other countries used as basis for what Europeans do (say France or Germany), when it might be exclusive to either two countries (or a subset of European countries, say Southern European).

I also notice this in release dates for video games,[0] often a UK release date is published, when they really mean a European release date. (Although, to be fair to Canada, I often see US release dates, when they mean North American.)

[0] The same pattern isn't necessarily true for music, film and book releases, because they don't have so wide releases as video games usually have.
I'd be interested to see a technical write up of this.
Yes it does. That's exactly what PT is

That was irony, which is used often by Europeans.

I live in the UK now, and coming from Slovenia I still keep my eggs in the fridge when I bring them home. They are not friged in the store though.

Why stop there? Let's just round up all the kids who can't do Math and just send them to labor camps. Might as well prepare them for what they'll be good for from an early age!

If you read the article, you'll see that the school in question was, in fact, doing extremely well when compared to other schools in the area, before the cheating even began. The use of metrics, as well as the fact that they were arbitrarily or unrealistically set resulted in the disaster (or so argues the author)
In Finland, eggs are not refrigerated in stores but in the fridges at home, there's usually a specific tray for eggs. People seem to store their eggs at home in the fridge. I sometimes do, sometimes don't.

I've never seen eggs in the UK refrigerated. I used to live in NZ and Australia and don't remember seeing eggs in the fridge in either of those places either. I'm pretty positive they don't keep their eggs in the fridge.
I posted a link to actual tests/curricula elsewhere in the thread. Please be specific - what is missing?

Your complaint that UK schools maximize the number of passing students is a complaint about the particular educational goal, not testing.
Oh shucks, now I will just have to finish the blog post and publish it. Thanks!
You're wrong about Portugal at least. All supermarket chains I can think of keep the eggs in unrefrigerated shelves - usually near the milk "tetrapack" shelves which are also unrefrigerated.
I used to play a different Wheel of Time based MUD (WoTMUD), that apparently is still at least partially active: https://twitter.com/WoTMUD and https://www.facebook.com/groups/657945314285131/ (I guess they're having server issues and are trying to raise funds to get it going again?)

Weird reading the Twitter account and recognizing the names of people who were active when I played a decade ago.
I've been using a Pi running XBMC for about a year. It's connected to a big hard drive. I can copy stuff there from my laptop (movies, music, etc.) It works pretty well; I don't remember having to "service" it in any way since I plugged it in.

It works fine to stream stuff from YouTube, too. Shows for kids, etc. The XBMC remote on my phone is pretty handy too.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with it.
Here in Sweden, I have never seen gas infrastructure. Possibly some o the really old, large cities have it in the "old town".

Some enthusiasts have gas stoves, but they would use propane flasks.
At the supermarkets in South Africa they're not refrigerated. So I buy these unrefrigerated eggs and bring them home to put them into the fridge, because that's how I was raised

The problem is my fridge can only hold about a dozen eggs but I buy them in trays of 48. The ones that can't fit have to fend for themselves outside in the cupboard. I eat eggs from the fridge, and bring reinforcements in from the cupboard to replace the eaten ones.

This whole process strikes me as absurd (especially since I recall a chef at a cooking class saying that it's preferable to cook things at room temperature) but I do it anyway. Where do I fit in?

I am English. It never even occured to me that people would put eggs in the fridge.
I have not seen refrigerated eggs in any supermarket here in Spain
However, I have never seen anyone not fridge their eggs at home

That is just a cultural/educational thing. For a first-timer you could visit me, or my entire family for that matter, in Belgium. That's not too far away. Eggs never go in the fridge here. But I know people that put them in the fridge as well.

Even if we get them in a store where they are cooled, we don't put them in the fridge afterwards. And if we get them fresh from our chicken we just mark the date on them and put them in an egg-box in a normal room. Without washing nor removing the occasional small amounts of dried up faeces on them. We also have a tendency to try to figure out how long an egg stays well. Record is something like 6 weeks :P
I guess the deeper question is, what is it what we expect schools to do for our children? Personally I think a profound focus on scoring well on test is shortsighted. while I do think it is important to learn basic math and languages skills I think it is equally important to learn to think and learn to learn. For some reason children are treated like they are similar to one and other while later in live you are able to choose different types of schools with different interest and different ways of learning. While I don't think a child should make profound live choices the idea that every child learns the same way and has the same background is just wrong and by doing so children will be left behind

India - the fifth largest producer of eggs in the world doesnt use refrigeration because... well, there is none.

And inspite of all that, there is very little spoilage - nature designed them well.

I second the position of don't walk away from DoorBot, run. In the past month it has never rung my phone, I can check the history in the app of when the doorbell was rung, but it never triggered my phone. In the off chance it does ring, the video quality is horrible and distorted, and there is a great lag. Even with all that said, I'm still understating how bad it is.

There also appears to be no progress being made to resolve these issues. Just look at the reviews for the android app.

> A platform with less legacy crap than x86 is wonderful for learning about OS development. I don't know how the Pi fares for this, with Broadcom's chip and all, but if I had the free time to hack an OS in my spare time, not dealing with all the thirty year-old cruft nor shedding a gazillion EUR on a PowerPC system would be ideal.

Actually I'd say the x86/PC is probably one of the best-documented and most stable platforms out there to learn on at the moment, precisely because it has been around for so long. Largely due to Broadcom policy the Pi is notoriously closed and proprietary at the hardware level, and unless there is somehow a massive amount of reverse-engineering like what happened with early home computers (which were better documented so the process started more easily), or a datasheet leak, the situation is unlikely to change. Any of the other open ARM devboards in the same price range would also be good candidates for OS development, but not the Pi.

Eggs sold unrefrigerated and unwashed. Almost exclusively refrigerated at home. Eggs are invariably cooked thoroughly; the suggestion of a runny or even moist yolk is traditionally met with confused looks and fears of food poisoning.

Brooding of poultry is not permitted in most cities/towns/areas with apartments, but considered normal in rural areas (places with gardens).

I understand the freshness / verifiability of freshness of a chicken egg is easily determined by how easy it is to peel after being hard-boiled: thin, hard to peel (i.e. without indenting the white) shell is a sign of a fresh egg, thick and easy to peel shell indicates an older egg.

Which bus exactly? Reading the BCM2835 datasheet ( http://www.raspberrypi.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/BCM283... ) the chip has a couple of UARTS, 2 SPI interfaces and a USB interface.

The only interface that can do DMA is the USB one. All the others have relatively small FIFO buffers and require the CPU to do all the I/O work. So you could attach an ethernet interface to one of the SPI buses, or bit bang a few GPIOs but surely the CPU load is going to be painful?

Edit: Oh wait, there's a main SPI bus that can do DMA as well. See page 148 on the doc linked above. If you can find a suitable chipset & driver then have at it :)
It is amazing how many comments in this thread say "we do x in y" based on solely personal experience - HN crowd should now better than that, no? (please check my comment in response to thomholwerda https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8030089 - Belgians do both)
The headline obscures the real point of the article. In the UK we don't need to refrigerate our eggs at the point of production (or spray them with chemicals) because our chickens and eggs are much healthier due to superior and more sanitory production methods than those prevalent in the USA. And so eggs are almost always sold at room temperature and usually refrigerated at home. And, as others have noted, the UK is not synonymous with Europe.

Did you read the article? The entire thing is about a school that for years did things like have teachers change test answers after the fact in order to increase their overall test scores. That's what I mean by gaming statistics.

edit: clearly I should have chosen a different word. I think you're all focusing on one specific word I used, and not on the actual argument I'm making, which is that if your model of assessment depends on a single Big Important Number, people will find ways to make that number what they need it to be.
Silly people. If you'd called it a deathray instead you'd have been able to get way more funding.
Ought to be fixed doesn't mean will be fixed, unfortunately. Especially when the people doing the fixing wouldn't be the developers. Fortunately there aren't too many applications that rely on interposition to function.

As for myself: I've only ever used symbol interposition for debugging, instrumentation, etc . . . for which it was quite useful (as I've said). I pay attention to what my libraries export, so accidental interposition has never been a problem for me. (Making that easier by default is something that I would support.) I'll happily discuss the matter further, but I'm not interested in arguing it.
Hi,

it might be a good idea to ask your server provider/hoster if they have a rescue console. Many big provider offer this service to simply remote install any OS of your desire (or a predefined mini linux rescue shell). The rescue console mostly works like this: The hoster has an internal tftp (yes, tftp) where the server can boot any iso from. So the main boot sequence is something like this:

1: boot from network (tftp)
2: boot from medium (cd, usb, etc.)
3: boot from disk

I once had an issue with my Firewall and the usb driver that the KVM switch provided just outputted strange signs, so it was unuseable. But a quick boot into the rescue console, mounting the HD and changing the Firewall config made it all a breeze.

Greets,

Interesting technology, but I doubt it will ever replace or even be used in a proper piece of code.

I'm English and never refrigerate my eggs. I'm an avid cook and I find eggs stored at room temperature are easier to work with - beating egg whites is easier, fewer broken eggs when frying/poaching (as there is a smaller change in temperature), and cold eggs can make batters and mixtures appear lumpy where the cold makes the fat harden
"As we invest more of our lives into the electronic realm, corporate decisions to shut down online services without recourse are beginning to resemble digital acts of Nero burning Rome—cultural history and entire communities are trashed in the process."

The OA was aged 11 to 18 while using Prodigy. Recent work on memory tends to suggest that particular age range, perhaps up to early 20s, leaves very strong memories - many things are new &c. So this aspect of OAs life has a lot of importance to the OA.

In the area I live in, we have, in the last 30 years or so, demolished huge factories and whole vertically integrated industries have vanished or moved south to lower wage countries. Foundaries, lock factories, tool making, car making. Those factories were the site of communities - you spend half your waking lives at work - but they were demolished as quick as anything. Some history survives but not the detail/experience.

If anything, digital communities are easier to preserve in the sense that the whole corpus can be captured. Please note I said easier, not easy!

I always thought that in theory this is a good argument for dense multihop wireless networks - the potential energy savings from forwarding over multiple shorter hops instead of one long range transmission. I guess in practice there are additional losses at each step that outweigh the potential gains.
If "game" simply means "cheat", the solution is simple - third party test administration. I thought you meant they do something legal other than education to make the scores go up.
Clever, but seems like a solution in a search of a problem.
It was a surprise for me when I moved to London from Croatia, when I saw that eggs are not refrigerated in the shops, and most people keep it that way at home too. Back home they are always kept in fridges both in shops and at home, and fridges regularly come with specially designed egg-holders that are sometimes even built into the doors and can't be removed.
Efficiency varies based on implementation, but it almost never rises above 50%.

"According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the efficiency of energy transfer for an induction cooker is 84%, versus 74% for a smooth-top non-induction electrical unit, for an approximate 10% saving in energy for the same amount of heat transfer.[20]" -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_cooking#Efficiency_an...
Your comment prompted me to ask DuckDuckGo that exact question, where I found a quite interesting report on the prevelance of salmonella in eggs: http://multimedia.food.gov.uk/multimedia/pdfs/fsis5004report...

Some take-aways:

The overall UK finding was that 9 samples (0.34%) were contaminated with Salmonella , which is equivalent to approximately 1 in every 290 “boxes” of 6 eggs.

Factors that might have influenced whether or not eggs were contaminated with Salmonella were also examined. However, where differences were found these tended to be small and much larger sample sizes would have been required to demonstrate a statistically significant difference.

There was no statistically significant difference between the prevalence of Salmonella contamination in samples purchased in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland; or between the prevalence of Salmonella contamination in samples from different egg production types; or between non-Lion code eggs and Lion code eggs; or between eggs that were stored chilled or at ambient temperature.

However, there was a statistically significant higher prevalence of Salmonella contamination of eggs from medium sized retailers* than large retail outlets.
