Absolutely. Even when you amortize the cost of condiments, oils, spices, and vegetables, that would go over budget. Along with the eating out and more expensive items like chicken shu mai, this is not going to fit within the $35/week budget. What he needs to do is to cut out anything over $35/week to get a realistic picture of what it really means to survive on $35/week. I would like to see his meals and response to that situation, otherwise it's not realistic enough and he can't really make the case that you can eat well for $35/week.
I think his point is more that it's typically easier and better to use preexisting contact form and file upload solutions, instead of writing your own (with jQuery or otherwise).

Personally I can see the benefit of banging out a form in jQuery instead of having to research and integrate another system, but something about the chapter summaries seem strange. It sounds like it's more about building custom front-end components than integrating different libraries (which is what I expected from the title).
If you use a pressure cooker, it takes less energy apparently. The more energy efficient method would be to pre-soak them for a long time, then cook on a pressure cooker (on low heat, hot enough for the pressure cooker to keep at full pressure though...but it doesn't take much heat to do that). I have a Hawkins classic pressure cooker. Apparently the Hawkins Futura line is even more efficient.
I have Crohn's and I did the FODMAP diet when I had very severe symptoms. What I found: it does actually work and remediated a lot of my severe abdominal pain centered around eating (in conjunction with medication) BUT... I also found it absolutely miserable on its own. I think Soylent might be more appetizing to me by an order of magnitude. Good luck!

What a bad joke this is, only in the third world would this qualify as "eating well."

This must be why I can never get my luggage handled flying two or more airlines or why I can never use my cellphone in another country connecting to another operator's network. Can you give me some examples where the private sector is actually bad at coordination?

The biggest issue to eating well for $35 a week is being single, if you have a partner, or kids it's pretty easy to average $35 a week per person.

Step 1) Buy a freezer
Step 2) Buy meat by the side
Step 3) Buy in season produce from the poor areas of town and/or drive out to an actual farmers market.
I think one issue is that cities and regions all over the world are desperate to create a startup scene. They'll pony up some money and there will always be some insiders and grifters around to tell them how to spend it.
In theory you could use the I2S, but I went the easy route and hooked up a USB DAC (Behringer UCA-202 - good cheap DAC). Thanks to Pi's USB issues, you need to switch to USB low speed (dwc_otg.speed=1), but it's worked well.
petitions.whitehouse.gov is one of the worst offenders of feel-good, "transparency bro", pretend to listen to the voice of the people, do nothing, words speak louder than actions fluff politics the government has ever foisted off on the public. It should not only be shut down but burned to the ground and the people who though it was a good idea should feel bad about it.

Nobody's asking them to build this stuff out for free. I'm cutting a check north of $100 to Verizon every month, last I checked. And that IS them capturing some of the money generated by services running on their infrastructure.

If they're not getting enough money to continue building, first off, I find that hard to believe, second off, they should just charge more to consumers, either additional $/month or an additional fee per GB.

Orrrrrr we could have a crazy system where they manage 50,000 unpublicized relationships with different websites, charge them, pay the people to manage those relationships, and the websites charge more to consumers, hiding the pricing information about network connectivity in the process. That sounds way more 'free market', not to mention more efficient.

What's so anti-competitive and backward thinking about "I pay you $ for bytes, cough up the bytes"?

Just in case someone is wondering what designs inspired him, one was a shirt with a picture of a man hanging head down naked from a chain that was attached to his pubic region. I realize there are two degrees of separation here and it was foolish of me to click on a link with 4chan t-shirt designs. Still i don't think it is necessary to promote yet another shitty t-shirt design website.
Is there any difference? Surely the reason a person takes risks is because in their own opinion it's not actually much of a risk at all due to their own confidence in their opinion. No?
Exactly, just read up on recipes from poor countries, the ingredients are dirt cheap and usually taste delicious.

Keep in mind is that indentured servants had restrictions on how often they could be served lobster... how food tastes is extremely subjective.

Well done for making it. Good luck now that you've handed in your notice.

I think the true lesson here is understanding your market. The 'giggly teenage boys' market doesn't want refined style or a corporate look. You need to present yourself as homebrew and authentic.

I find it a shame that smart people like silly things, but hey that's the Internet.

DSL competition/local loop unbundling did seem to work pretty well, after a rough few years.

I wonder technically how hard it would be to do this with DOCSIS 3, by having channels per competing ISP. There would be a relatively small limit to the number of cable ISPs which could be overlaid on the infrastructure (5?), but that would still be preferable to what we have today.

I just can't sympathize, at all. I would prefer (I realize this is not the law) an internet that was considered public domain. If you don't want you picture copied, don't put it in the public domain.

I do understand hard work, and skill, and putting in the time that made you the great photographer that you are, and I understand the need to earn a living, and I understand capitalism, economic profits, and accounting profits and economic profits.

But a large number of highly trained and skilled people put a lot of hard work and effort into writing the open source software that is running the internet and the webservers that your images are on.

I understand your perspective: you'd rather buy a proprietary microsoft operating system and a proprietary microsoft webserver so you could run a proprietary Oracle database to keep track of your DRMed photos.

But understand that I wouldn't, I'd rather have a public domain web where photographers share their work like artists do and computer programmers and graphic designers and bloggers and everybody else.

I'm just not that excited by your great photo, there are a lot of great photos.

full disclosure: I took a significant news photo once and made money selling it. I enjoyed spending the money. I don't chase around the internet stopping people from duplicating it.
Short story - It's a product that I needed that didn't exist. There are only a handful of self hosted project management apps and none of them felt like the right fit, especially with regard to UX. After a couple of years of waiting I finally decided to build it myself.

I wrote about some other reasons on my blog (i.e. cost), but the primary reason is that I wanted it for myself. Here are the links to the blog posts if you're interested in reading more about my thought process:

Absolutely. If you're short on money and want to get the best bang for your buck then you'll want to learn how to cook. It's not that hard, I think it's pretty fun actually, and it will pay you back for your time spent learning/doing tenfold. You just have to be willing to do the legwork!

I'm a fan of http://allrecipes.com, playing around on that site for a while will give you a lot of good meal ideas. They even have categories for quick and easy meals, many of which are under $2 a serving. Or pick your recipe site of choice, they all should have similar tools to help cooking newbies or people on budgets :)
They most likely have very good spam filters already in place. They are receiving "tips" already constantly.
That's some nice proprietary software you've got there.

It would be a shame if someone were to place a backdoor in it...

This might be a weird edge case, but in Rust, 0MQ bindings came really quickly, as its protocol was easy. This let Rust do web stuff _far_ earlier than the still-ongoing work to actually write a server in Rust itself.

At least in Ruby world, we steal Mongrel's parser over and over and over and over. Seems like it might be easier to not have to do that, and just use Mongrel2 with a 0MQ library. I haven't actually done this, though...
Modern spam filters (like GMail) make me comfortable putting my email address in plain text all over the web. I never have a problem.
I didn't mean to imply that it was unhealthy, just that most people's idea of "eating well" requires actually enjoying the food. This nutrition-only view of good eating reminds me of The Matrix: "It's a single-celled protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals. Everything the body needs."
I had IBS-D from about the age of 10 to the age of 29. I'm 42 now. What changed for me 13 years ago is that I learned that humans require eating dietary fiber and changed my diet to accomplish that.

I eat about 40 grams of dietary fiber and drink at least a gallon of water every day. It actually takes work to reach this goal, but the plus side is that once I started doing this I have had no symptoms of IBS for the past 13 years.
Thanks for the clarification. The chapter summaries on the maxoffsky.com/frontend page?
Elance and Odesk is where I started w/same stack. Strive for 5.0/5.0 reviews and leverage those into more expensive work.
I hate this debate. It's mostly politics and buzzwords with 0 cost/benefit analysis. Google already buys last mile access and if people keep acting like profits don't already come from customer choice they're going to end up with slow socialized internet and you'll never see 4k video.

> What are you expecting, duck confit and beef wellington?

I'm expecting an article about "eating well" to be about eating well, not just merely subsisting.

> 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.

I don't know about you, but I would absolutely not be satisfied with a diet made up mainly of things like peanut butter sandwich. Like I said, I've eaten on that level, and I didn't feel very satisfied with it.
> Apple isn't stopping anyone from using those languages; it's just that adopting them would make very little sense

Apple isn't stopping anyone, and Apple certainly isn't encouraging anyone from using any language that doesn't issue forth from Apple.

Hmm, 6-qt Fagor Duo pressure cooker, $85.

Dried black beans, $1 - $2/pound.

Can 15oz black beans containing 1 1/3 cup drained beans, about $2.

2 cups dried beans yields 5-6 cups cooked drained beans.

1 pound dried beans = 2 cups dried beans.

Rinsed, un-presoaked black beans cooking time: 25 minutes, after maybe 5-6 minutes of bringing it to boil and reaching pressure level.

Cooking time for can of beans: 5 minutes.

They lose a lot to fees, car stuff, gas, variable customer, routes people want them to take (and time to find a new fare) etc. They probably make around $25 an hour. I'm not sure what that looks like in New York but it sounds alright.
I think there is an important difference between situations where the truth is objective (and can and will be measured accurately and fairly when the payoff is determined) and situations where the truth is "made", for lack of a better word.

The best example, of course, is financial markets vs weight of an ox. In financial markets, we are often dealing with a "Keynesian beauty contest" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keynesian_beauty_contest). I would doubt that those whose beliefs are insensitive to data concerning the crowd would do well, at least in the short to medium term.

Whereas in weighing an ox at a fair, that truth is absolutely orthogonal to what the crowd thinks (granted, the odds of a bet structure may vary, but the study didn't get into such things AFAIK). There would be no benefit for an informed observer to dilute his prior with the crowd's ideas, so having a concentrated prior may signal experience, inside knowledge, etc. much more clearly than in the above situation.
"well" is used in a different sense than you are using it. They mean enough calories with a reasonable amount of nutrition. From a feed-your-body perspective, peanut butter on whole wheat bread is pretty decent food (it's even protein complete).

To me the silliest part of the article was Food is one of the few true necessities in life, yet overlooked in mainstream thought. I would say that mainstream culture is obsessed with food.
35$ are about 26€ - it's definitely possible in Germany. You can buy 1kg oatmeal for 1€, 1kg yoghurt for 1.50€. 2kg whole-grain bread for 3€, 2kg potatoes or pasta or rice for 2€, 10 eggs for 1€, Then you have plenty of possibilities and still 17€ to add vegetables/oil/spices and other ingredients and create tasty meals.

The difficult part is planning meals for 1 or 2 weeks in advance and keeping variations alive.

Also avoid soda of all kinds and only drink tap-water and coffee/tee to safe the money. Also preparing sandwiches in advance while travelling saves a lot of money...

It's surely possible to live healthy on the cheap but it takes a lot of effort and time and structure to do so..
In other words, TC does not approve charging money for providing a set of useful email addresses (even if it's wrapped in a neat Bootstrap/Stripe gift box) and regards it as good old shady pro spammers. It leads to young startups sending mass emails and giving headache to everybody on their path. They prefer to share their email addresses with you openly and free of charge.

Which brings us to the obvious question: Why is this on ProductHunt?
Looks familiar.

I grew up eating lots and lots of rice, beans and frozen vegatables and I'm still pretty fond of them - cheap and tasty, cheaper if you do your own seasoning and cheaper still if you buy dry beans and aren't particular about your rice.

Personally, my big issue in weekly food cost is eating out at work - paying $10+ per day for worse versions of stuff that could be made for 1/5 that price with the right discipline.

Just because they have a special interest doesn't mean that there is a conflict of interest. You can still get useful science from people that are hoping for a particular outcome.
At this price, probably not. In the future with different plans, maybe.
A number of Qalcomm Atheros chips like AR4100P. Gainspan's GS1011 and their newer GS2000. Pretty much anyone supporting PS-POLL should get around that range.

Home Depot Starts Selling 3-D Printers in Stores
I hope this doesn't come across like I'm attacking you, because that isn't my intent, but I find this "Oh, just cook and everything is affordable" idea that people keep throwing around to be kind of condescending and dismissive. Cooking isn't magic. I do cook, but I still don't feel like eating well on $5 a day is practical. A single avocado would blow a third of the budget for the whole day!

BTW, I'll have to take your word that that site has a $2 meals section, because I just spent five minutes clicking around and couldn't find one.
@Graeme (can't reply double-nested): I just found it to be very bland, boring and depressing. Chicken and rice, rice and chicken, tuna, rice crackers, blah. Go to the printer room in your office and start chewing on the printer paper/some cardboard in there. That's about how tasty the FODMAP diet is after about a week. It's even harder socially when you are restricted from basically everything on the menu. I guess your mileage may vary but those are my personal thoughts. I did Low FODMAP for about 2 months and by necessity (staying out of the urgent care/emergency room), not really by choice.
but which research is favoured, published and promoted?
I bet you eat less well than this guy.

Eating well means eating nutritionally complete, balanced, and tolerably palatable foods. When you maximize for the taste experience, without concern for nutritional completeness or balance, you are not eating well.
Small nit, but guessing this is crow's flight distance which doesn't equal path distance. Regardless, this still isn't surprising. Short rides happen all the time.
How did you make $40k?

Post says TINhouse was useless and reddit has the lowest conversion rate (but still accounted for 25% of the sales).

Sure?! Anyways, I eat non GMO food from my own suppliers. I do not shop where 99.9% of population shops. Cheers!

We use Mongrel2 at Fanout.io. I love it. It's part of our general ZeroMQ architecture of having lots of components that each do one thing well.

ZeroMQ is an improvement over plain HTTP primarily because you can use fewer internal pipes by interleaving requests and responses over the same sockets.

We even created a HTTP over ZeroMQ spec to help standardize this approach:

How is the information in newspapers currently preserved which is permanent and accessible (otherwise why archive at all) that a series of articles on the web could not also be preserved?

This is meant as an honest question as I remember microfiche and microfilm as the primary methods for preserving newspaper content. I assumed they were largely replaced with digital subscription based archives like lexus-nexus. And a digital archive can probably archive already digital information at least as easily as non-digital.

I know that libraries often keep physical newspapers like 5 or so years back but even after 5 years due to the quality of paper, ink, air, and occasional use. They are getting brittle and unable to be handled. News papers in their normal form were never intended to be permanent, hence why they were (are?) stored on microfilm or other archival methods.
Yes and I bet that the author of that blog will be fighting all the early symptoms of metabolic syndrome in no time eating all that garbage and wearing their body out with excessive repetitive running.

Shopping at Trader Joes is a good start for keeping within budget, but you can't really make the case for eating well on $35/week if you go out occasionally and DON'T count that in your budget.
Shared libraries and DLL's came into being before the software patent flood opened, probably by 10 years or so.
Is "bought from a store" a requirement here? I've built a small garden on my balcony, and it seems that such could meaningfully supplement a $35/week budget; especially given an objective of "organic".
