How is "if a person controlled the camera" terribly semantically different from "picked the ones you liked best".

"Even if the person carefully selected a site but then just left it there to record whatever would come, it's not clear that would be copyrightable."

But in this case he selected a site (wrote the code), recorded a pile of footage, and then went through and selected particular shots based on his own personal criteria.

Yes it seems possible that they could be overestimating, but it is the most thorough report I have seen. And if their sample set is large enough, they should have accounted for it. Do you have any actual data that shows different numbers?

I agree and I don't consider a "Frozen" box of anything to be "Eating well". It's a blessing to have these things (or is it?). I prefer keeping things organic and fresh when possible.
It's interesting that your digestive system 'thinks'. I've always found the Vagus nerve's role in satiety to be interesting. It's a big nerve from the brain that extends directly down into the abdomen.

FWIW, I did it in one line [1]. But even better, I think the term "stubborn believers" is a better term and would have decreased the confusion, but note that it requires stubbornness plus disincentive for being wrong to correlate with correctness.

I also have IBS and was diagnosed years ago, but I never heard of different classifications that you mentioned, IBS-C or IBS-D. Mostly, I classify the severity as "day-to-day", workdays usually being the worst. I haven't tried consuming live cultures other than yogurt, and even then I have mixed results. Have you gotten far in your research on the types of bacteria, and do you have any resources you could share?

Edit: just read about differences between IBS-C and D and it definitely sounds like there has been some headway in the last 15 years since I was diagnosed (back then it was mostly a prognosis of "here's a colonoscopy, sorry not much else we can do"). I should definitely get re-evaluated. Thanks for mentioning this.
This goes beyond just bacterial waste into macronutrients like sugars messing with your blood sugar level and thus mood. And who knows what a lifetime of pesticide or herbicide consumption will do to you... I guess we'll find out, some of us anyway.

Or the short answer is yeah your diet strongly affects your behavior. If you don't believe me do drink a couple Mt Dew and see what happens, or a couple beers.
Eating healthy and not having to cook seem to be conflicting ideas, as far as I can tell :)

Places like http://www.blueapron.com or https://www.plated.com will send you fresh ingredients pre-portioned, and then you spend < 30 minutes preparing your meal. And you can get decently healthy snacks through something like https://naturebox.com that are more "feed me like a hamster".

But if you're not rolling in the dough, then learning how to make a handful of quick/easy meals is going to be the healthiest/cheapest option. Cooking doesn't have to be hard or time consuming, especially when you consider leftovers :)
Freelancing: How do you specify your hourly rate for *new* clients?
For freelancers...
Do you specify your hourly rate upon being asked (early on in process), or do you say you set a fixed budget (based on a proposal) for new clients?

I've read that specifying the hourly rate upfront can weed out deadbeats, and/or clients you don't want to work with, is this true?

Overall how do you, as freelancers, work through this process?

Thanks!

What are you expecting, duck confit and beef wellington?

Eating well in this case means being satisfied and healthy. A peanut butter sandwich on whole wheat bread is surprisingly healthy (although I personally loathe whole wheat). It's not classy but it's a highly cost-efficient source of calories.

Also, it turns out that even if you are willing to lower yourself to peanut butter sandwiches, getting 2500 calories of nutritionally well-rounded and healthy food for $5 a day takes quite a bit of planning (if not cooking). If you "imagine it is easy", it's only because you have not given a fig's worth of actual thought to the process.

Yes, just like FreeSpeechMe it the SSL validation will initially work via a browser extension, but unlike FSM (heh) it does not carry the additional baggage of requiring you to run a Namecoin node on your [phone/laptop/etc.].
I rather like it. I wouldn't live on it (one tires of it quickly) but it's really nice to have healthy, cheap, easy meals available when there's no time to cook (pre-work breakfast) or when I've forgotten to shop (late night dinner).

I have Crohn's disease (similar) and you have a good point. In reality it's a vicious feedback loop where 1) you get stressed out 2) your symptoms flare as a result of stress 3) you get more stressed out because of the symptoms. Works both ways and there's no easy way around it.
Thanks for the tip. What's wrong with using jQuery? When you do the hiring are you looking for someone who takes up a couple months and rolls their own libraries or someone who can get the job done quickly by using existing open source projects? The AJAX file uploaders are super tricky, the one used in the book has a jQuery wrapper but can work without it, you'd only spend about 300% more time integrating it.

Taxes don't finance US government expenditure; they create demand for the currency.

Government provides the coordination required to accomplish these things. The private sector is notoriously horrible at coordination between competing actors.
C is constipation. D is diarrhea. I have Crohn's and didn't know these either, but Google was my friend. I personally don't distinguish. Diarrhea largely affects individuals who have Crohn's in the colon (not me) due to the colon's role in body water absorption from fecal waste. My inflammation occurs in the ileum so I rarely, if ever, have diarrhea but I do have severe, piercing abdominal pain from scar tissue and constriction. My personal opinion from a biology background is we largely don't know jack about Crohn's/IBS and the classifications are grasping at straws. If you do want to know some of the scientific stuff the genetics side is a great place to start. NOD2 is specifically involved in Crohn's: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOD2 and you can learn a lot of interesting things about our innate immune system.
There is some arbitrary length limit on root passwords that isn't disclosed anywhere (or reported if you exceed it.) I had to truncate my password several times to get it to actually work.
Awesome, I noticed they were tracking the landing leg attachment points at liftoff, so perhaps there is a new leg deployment system.

Also the note that 'kaboom' after splashdown suggests that some part of the landing mechanism didn't deal well the transition from flight to sailing. One wonders what the temperature differential is between the landing first stage and the ocean, on the one hand it might be hot (burning retro) on the other it could be sub zero (cryogenic propellant usage).

Questions then are:

1) What was the mechanism that instituted the rapid disassembly of the landing stage.

2) Would that mechanism come into play on a 'ground' based recovery?

3) What is the safe radius for ground recovery in the event of a structural failure?

How does one manage to forget anything? I guess I was was just really distracted? :( I can easily imagine myself thinking "I should grab some food, but I only have a couple minutes, I'll just eat after class", or "I should eat something, but I'm so tired, I'll just eat a large breakfast", and then "I should eat something, but I'm late, I'll just eat when I get to campus".
6 Billion Clicks is not the hard part, Storing analytics for those clicks is. Though this is a pittance compared to what Google, or Adobe serve with their analytics.

I don't know enough about how "realtime" Bitly is. Handling 6 Billion writes a month of "raw" data from a user as a serialized string would not be that hard.

2300 clicks and there for analytic writes per second average for the month is likely based on the 80/20 rule about 10k Clicks per second peak.

Now, if we assume that you write a Serialized Write immediately with all the data from a users, and then do a chasing analysis, so that you don't have to do all the work at Peak Price... and that each user is then 20 writes.

We end up with 10k peak Serial, and 5x that in chasing writes. So we need 60k writes per second.

On DynamoDB that would cost $90k upfront and $7.71 an hour. ($99,500 a month)

That is "a lot" but it isn't huge.

Doing this on Google AppEngine would likely be about the same since you pay fixed fee per write, not based on your throughput. Depending on the amount of indexing you would pay $1.80 - $2.40 per 100k clicks based on the above math so $108k - $144K per month.

I am not familiar enough with Azure to quote a price.

I know there would be other costs. This is just the database portion. But as I expect this to be the majority of the price, I thought it was the part most worth discussing if you were building a Bitly on a Cloud Platform.
What the pi should do is monitor the voltage level of port it is drawing from, if it draws it down, it should turn on a fault LED or disable onboard services (like ethernet and usb).

Well in this case is designed to mean healthy. Despite popular misconception organic and fresh food aren't necessarily healthier than frozen foods as many fresh foods lose significant nutritional value when stored/transported at room temperature.

While it was certainly not encouraged, you'll note that undisclosed COI was not actually banned, just discouraged. There was extensive and widely advertised discussion in November 2013 [1] about three anti-COI rules, all three of which were shot down. This is not the first time it has come up, and it had repeatedly been shut down.

As for the WikiPR incident, the fact that they were banned has less to do, I imagine, with the fact that they were paid than the fact that they were essentially vandalizing Wikipedia. If they were getting paid to write neutral, balanced, well-sourced articles, I'm sure no one would have cared.

> If this theory is correct, does it mean that a drastic change in diet might change a person's behavior? I'm imagining a future where people match their diet to their intestinal bacteria to increase or reduce the "waste" that gets produced to achieve a desired mood or behavior.

The concept is really not new. Diet has long been linked to mood and behavior in traditional medicine. It wouldn't be a shocker to learn that some traditional approaches to dietary therapy are actually effective, though probably not for the reasons they proclaimed.
The interesting part is that even if that's the case, treating the digestive symptoms in an effective way could provide meaningful relief, cascading back into the emotional state that caused the initial problem.

I've had it described to me in the following way; stress creates physical manifestations of that stress, those physical manifestations create discomfort, that discomfort creates stress. The feedback loop, once in place, can accelerate the anxiety. It can also be used to shut the anxiety down. It is possible to focus on the physical manifestations and "cut the strings" of the cycle by relieving those symptoms through meditation and treatment. You're left with the original stressor, but the feedback cycle doesn't help you get better as long as it is active.

First, regulations regarding universal access have little in common with net neutrality regulations except that both are simply examples of regulation. A person might support one but not the other without crossing some logical event horizon.

Secondly, it's not clear that the implied solution in your comment ("more competition") would lead to firmer protections for net neutrality. Any changes to open the market to competition would take many years to come to fruition while current ISPs would jump at the chance to discriminate traffic immediately. By the time competition arrived, it is likely that the idea of traffic discrimination (and extortion) would have become so standard and endemic that it would no longer be a point of competition for these new competitors (especially true given how hard it is to explain net neutrality to laypersons).

It's for these reasons that I support both strengthening net neutrality regulation and loosening universal access restrictions (although, to be honest, I would rather have a government ISP with a universal access responsibility, similar to USPS).
This. It does not mention anywhere on their site that PrivatOS is OS.
IBS seems like the doctors way of saying "We don't know what your problem is".

Doctors told me I had IBS for 10 years, then a friend suggested to stop eating wheat, and 95% of my symptoms went away.

I'm actually about to start testing a FODMAP diet to see if I can improve my health any further.

Have you tried anything to improve your health, or did you just accept the IBS diagnosis? I only ask because I've seen no research that suggests IBS is a real thing, just a catch-all for many potential things.
I would charge something around $60 to $100 usually the price depends on the client attitude, complexity of work, and length of contract.

Some of the edits are far less subtle: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=616939061&oldid=614...

The addition sounds like something copy/pasted directly from a campaign flyer. The addition of titles (Congressman), the subjective language (unwavering), and lack of any citations makes it a pretty clear indicator of who edited it and for what purpose.

Edit: a quick googling shows that it in fact is copy/pasted directly from his personal site: http://www.huelskamp.org/meettim.html
There is some evidence that intermittent fasting can help you lose weight and improve your health. In fact, there have been a plethora of books on the subject. In the UK, this type of fasting diet became very popular after the BBC broadcast a (not very good) documentary about it in 2012. The presenter of the programme (Michael Mosley) then went on to write a best-selling book on the subject.

If you're in the UK, you can still watch the programme on iPlayer

As a consultant, you get to decide how often you take jobs. You can work yourself to the bone, or you can take 6 months off per year. You can change your work schedule as your mood or personal situation changes. If you're up for it, it's quite easy to work your ass off, and it's quite easy to turn that efficiency into more money. And when you're young and/or strongly financially motivated that's easier to do.

As a salaried employee, you usually can't control when you work. You're (supposedly) going to be in the office ~40 hours a week for ~50 weeks a year, every year. So you naturally shift into a slower pace to avoid burnout.

I don't see it as a problem. You trade off efficiency for long-term stability.
Yeah, both companies have been around for a while and don't look to be winning it big any time soon. Also, flikdate recently had a merger with CrossBox (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1493563/0001575872140...) that previously (under the name gogreendirectories) was a "Web portal for environmentally friendly green products and services"? I fail to see the synergy there.

Last batch of dry beans I prepared I started to wonder if it's really cheaper for me to pay for the energy needed to cook them well versus just quickly heating a can.

Fresh beans though are definitely great, and with homegrown ones you can cook the pods too.
RAM is cheap, and the rest of the box costs more than the RAM, so I'd say no.

Let's say a 1GB module costs $25 and a 4GB one is $40. (Just picking some random Corsair ones of compatible specs and disregarding things like using matched pairs of lesser capacity instead of single modules. For simplicity.)

Two of those 1GB modules would already cost more than one 4GB one. And that's to say nothing of the rest of the hardware, which you can entirely avoid if you have a single system instead of four.

The only place it makes sense is VMs through a cloud provider, where memory is often one of the big pricing metrics. It's possible there could be savings through some of those providers.
I just bought an Indian pressure cooker which is great for cooking them even faster (can even skip the pre-soak if you want) and uses less energy. So far I've tried "split red lentis", "whole black urad dal", and dried kidney beans. They are super cheap and come in huge bags for $5 or so. 1 cup of these makes many servings. I started making some Indian dals using them. It's a great way to eat them, with tons of Indian spices.
