I'd love to set filters on file actions like, "after an image/pdf/etc has been downloaded prevent any program from loading it until it has been scrubbed through a whitelisting format normalizer running in a VM" if problems are found, alert and blacklist source.

1) Special characters. A lot of them are 2 clicks away -- I would prefer to have a bigger keyboard when I click the "1,2,3" (i.e. an additional row). As clicking the "#+=" afterwards only changes one row.

2) I'd love to try a swipe/gesture interface (like Android).

3) A keyboard optimized for one-handed typing. This is a bigger project but would be great. The ones I've seen so far aren't very good and obviously don't actually replace the default keyboard.
That leads to the obvious conclusion that we should skip the foods and eat the pesticides directly!

Well done on finishing your degree, great achievement.

If you are officially registered as a student, and have a student ID, it's worth a look at the grants, you may still be eligible.
I'm still very curious how they plan to make money. I guess we will have to see...

In my opinion urban dictionary actually solves the same problem that Rap Lyrics is solving except instead of explaining a whole sentence urban dictionary explains one-a few words.
In other news, the ubiquitous language of the ubiquitous platform of the information age doesn't support multiline strings. But I guess if we keep throwing enough modules and libraries at it, it'll end up being nice to develop for.

Alternatively wait for ES6 or ES7 to (maybe) solve the problem.

That's interesting. I'm ready to order in about one minute.
So let's keep making it more complicated, then.
Stick a JIT-compiled Javascript engine in the Linux kernel, give it bindings to everything from the tty drivers to the scheduler, and add an "eval" system call, then see if you still think an OS is harder to secure than a browser.

Like the article says, the authors didn't claim the differences they found actually have any impact on health. They just claim they measured a difference, and the difference was significant (unlikely to be explained by chance).

That's fine, but this really doesn't inform consumer decision making in a valuable way. Many consumers would hear this and immediately assume that consuming organic food is safer, which isn't well-supported.

Note that low levels of toxic chemicals can often be completely harmless (if you want a better explanation than that, buy http://www.amazon.com/dp/0815340761 and read the section on the Ames test, dose response relationships, and why tests aren't useful predictors of risk at low concentrations.

What's so bad about it? I found it short, insightful, and interesting. And the problem that they described apply to many other restaurants.
What a the point of offering wifi for phones at a restaurant? Don't they already have service? Its not like an airport where you might be there for hours without something to occupy yourself with.
The fact that there are no conclusions about what the restaurant might to do fix the problem is a bit of a let down.

At the end of the day, social pressure to put down your damn phone is probably the best solution. But if the restaurant isn't up-scale enough to use social pressure, there are probably other options.

Given that a significant number of customers were requesting wifi access, I wonder if some sort of landing page could be used to encourage the customer to choose something more quickly.

Some other subtle tricks might work as well. E.g waiters might give an explicit time frame ("I'll check back in 3 or 4 minutes") instead of the more common open-ended "in a few minutes"/"in a bit"/"later".

It also seems like the "request to be seated elsewhere" problem would be easy enough to solve by allowing customers, when they arrive, to select a table or ask for the soonest available table. I have a feeling most parties would select the latter. And then there's an implicit agreement -- whether a table is selected or not -- that the person will sit where the waiter take them.

The pictures of food/friends/etc. is annoying and probably not solvable except by social pressure. Except maybe the hostess (or another staff member) could field these sorts of requests so that waiters don't get behind with other tables.

Kids have iPods, some cell phones have bad reception, customer ran out of data, the list goes on.
Phew. For a moment there I thought the conclusion was going to be that the waiters were all checking their phones between customers. Huge relief!

...they underestimated the advance of industrialization and the economics of mechanization. If the South had invested in these modernities instead of fighting them, they could have had mechanized agriculture and wouldn't have needed zero-cost labor to do the work.

Reading that, I was struck by the eerie parallels to many contemporary corporations I see in my consulting work that eschew investing into automation, organizational and other advances and instead focus tremendous managerial efforts and time upon driving labor costs towards zero.
Really? You advocate pulling down a video about what is effectively a debugging technique, just because the case study is breaking some DRM?

Also, you continually compare this to physical crimes, some banal (theft) and other repugnant (rape); in doing so, you cheapen your arguments and make your point, however defensible, unable to be taken seriously.

"a crime is a crime" is a tautology and cannot be reasoned with or discussed in any useful fashion. Your claim about "consensus-based society" is also plainly false, considering the forms of government in most of the West and even a cursory glance through history.
I think most of those small town stores would have been happy to order you whatever (of course only if they could find it in a catalog). That's still less convenient than internet shopping though.
There is obviously some truth to this, but the number seem made up (+50% of people talking pictures of their food seems funny, but doesn't seem realistic.)
Twitter finally exposes impressions data
As someone in the UK, I'm quite happy for amazon to provide me with low cost items on this basis. The tax is fixed rate VAT here in the UK so everything I buy from a tax dodge means I'm effectively getting a small rebate against my nearly £3375 a month (including income tax, NI and VAT) contribution to the state every month versus spinning another 20% into VAT.

Then when I snuff it, capital gains time...
i remember very clearly the first time i saw/held an iphone in person - it was maybe 4 months before the release and a group of my friends were at brunch in san francisco, in pac heights. one of my friends was working at apple (actually he still works there...) and had a test model on him.

needless to say the entire restaurant stopped eating and was staring at us/it, and we stayed at least 30 minutes longer than we would have otherwise. pretty sure the waiter was annoyed.

recalling that scene in retrospect is quite telling. also, this was only in 2007! not that long ago. i have pants older than that that still look good.

anyway, about the article... since the restaurant is in NY they should just put up a sign that says "using your phone causes slow service" or just ban them outright.
It's not just in restaurants. I've met people over the years who take every empty second to browse stuff on their phone, heavily use FB, are always taking pictures and posting them, and constantly mentioning things seen online that don't seem to lead anywhere conversationally. It's a strange, strange world.
I can see how it helps. I'm still curious by how much. Consider, if everyone's common tool chain is untrustworthy, then this solves nothing.

This is why the "docker" idea worries me. It is basically counter productive. Just moves the "trust" to a whole harder thing to verify.

And the reason I was focusing on the compiler point, is to my knowledge nobody has established that the common compilers are trustworthy. At least not the ones in use at large. Until that happens, we're back to my first point. Which is to say that we may not be trustworthy.

Again, to be clear, I see there is benefit to knowing that we are all of the same trustworthiness. Having "reproducible" builds that don't match is an indication that something is definitely wrong. Definitely a worthy effort. Just, having reproducible builds that do match doesn't really tell you much about the trustworthiness of the application. Specifically, it only tells you that it is as trustworthy as another build. (Similar to the boolean logic that trips folks up all of the time that False \implies True is true, as is False \implies False.)

Unless, of course, I'm still misunderstanding something.
Paragraphs!
Some MySQL benchmarking under Docker
Many restaurants, in addition to the dinner crowd, also service a more business-oriented clientele during the day. Wifi might be more necessary for working lunches, which laptops/tablets instead of phones are necessary.
> one restaurant in NYC has failed to keep up with this

How have they failed to keep up? Customer interactions are taking twice as long and consume significantly more of their staff's time, do we expect them to double their prices to compensate? Charge for Wi-Fi?

I found it to be a fascinating view into how cell phones and the internet have changed our interactions in an every day situation.
Am I the only one questioning the legitimacy of this post? Why was it posted on Craigslist? That seems weird to me.

Also, some of the statistic seems unbelievable. 60% of customers asked the waiter to take a group photo? 17% of people bumped into someone while texting?

I need more evidence that this isn't fake.
It brings to mind The Truman Show.
I find this quite weird. OK, my password are meaningless sequences of random characters, so maybe it makes things different; but I don't remember passwords as strings, I remember them as gestures. For most passwords I would have to imagine myself typing them to reconstitute their written or spoken form (which can sometimes be tricky if you have to enter them on an unfamiliar device or using an unfamiliar layout).

So I'm confused why after a few days you would still remember what the password means when you type it in.
Agreed; such a satisfying font and colour scheme. Really well done.
There is a difference between what we should assume when meting out punishment and what we should assume when producing examples for an argument.
Right, and my question is essentially if this is "putting the cart before the horse." Do Mozilla have efforts in place to establish trust of their compilers? (I expanded on my response below. I really wish I knew the correct way to "merge" conversation trees here. Is there a good protocol for that?)
Your lack of compassion is disturbing. Regardless of the current case, which I certainly don't have enough information to comment on, in general rape often inflicts a terrible psychological damage on the victim. And since the rapists are often close to the victim, the act very often doesn't have any witnesses or clear evidence, especially if they were romantically involved. And despite what some people might believe in their minds, accusing someone of rape doesn't get the town to behind you and the rapist locked up. True victims will be disbelieved, insulted and treated as "damaged goods".

Again, I don't know anything about this case. I don't know if he did anything wrong. But your assumption is disgustingly ignorant.
Well, one clue is that despite spending 10x longer on customer interactions, the waiters are somehow still able to immediately take orders -- no change there.
My gut feel is that this is a heavily tourist restaurant in NYC (maybe in a heavily tourist area like Times Square or Rockefeller Center).

A few giveaways: lots of people taking pictures of food. Lots of people taking pictures of each other. Requests for WiFi (international tourists who don't have data plans). Requests to take group pics.

Smells like Times Square :P
Amazon can't evade taxes for money earned in France. If you operate in France, and your business earns revenue in France, you pay French taxes. You can't magically offshore it without paying taxes and then expect to still operate there.

What actually happens is that Amazon makes no profit, and thus does not get taxed on profits. But it still pays VAT, Property, B&O, etc.
They mentioned it was on July 3rd. Thats a holiday weekend, perhaps the % of patrons that weekend was exceedingly tourist and thus were more likely to "document" their NYC holiday vacation than patrons in, say, mid november.
Idea Invalidated
This seems like a reimplementation of ST using an unspecified State Mem.
"Today's wifi password will be provided once you have ordered. Our in-house photographer will be happy to take a photo for you, please inform your waitperson."

[Of course no in-house photographer need be provided, or a waitperson could be designated, or you could outsource photographs if it proved popular; for a charge of course.]
They should release the tapes.
Ah, thank you! Poor sound isolation is one of the biggest reasons I don't live in a city at present.
For an NYC restaurant? Popular with foodies? It sure seems accurate to me.
I think it's fake, but based on genuine observations.
Unless their customers all signed release forms, they can't.
That deliberately inflammatory wording also relies on the fact that some people hear “government” and immediately thinking of intelligence agencies or cynical political operators and ignore the fact that, particularly in well-reputed free countries like Norway with extremely low corruption rates, there are many government employees who feel a mandate for actual public service, and are doing non-trivial research & analysis, etc. to make sure that lawmakers and other parts of the government make the right decisions.

The kind of people you hire to do that sort of work are exactly the kind of people who are going to update Wikipedia when they see something wrong or incomplete — or possibly the person who might get a message if someone can't find the right info on Wikipedia.
The first one isn't so unbelievable is the restaurant is a quasi tourist attraction.

The second one seems a bit high, but could be plausible if there are choke points.
I personally think the threat of libel (followed by the claim he won't because he's a good person or whatever) is a creepy move if he accepts there's the possibility she might have misinterpreted something.

Or maybe he's just trying to prevent comments of the type "if she's lying, why doesn't he sue her? He probably has something to hide."
Is this a supposedly true story? Anecdotally as a server as recently as 2 years ago, I never experienced this. As a consumer during the entire iPhone era, I've never seen this. I don't believe this story, it has all the makings of something somebody made up:

1. No reference to the actual restaurant
2. No reason a busy entrepreneur would post this on Craigslist
3. Convenient coincidences (2004 - 2014 is ten years, finding exactly 1 tape, all the evidence lines up PERFECTLY against cell phones, not a single piece of data out of line, etc)
4. No way to cross check whether this is real or made up

I not only don't believe this is a real post, but I do not believe this phenomenon exists.
That's weird. Specially since traditional characters are mostly used in Taiwan and Hong Kong, where facebook should be accessible.
You are mostly correct, but I'd like to make some clarifications.

>they aren't passed on to those who are simply running the client to maintain the ledger.

The word "maintain" is ambiguous here. When I run bitcoin-qt on my computer, I have the whole blockchain locally, and I relay blocks created by others, but I do not "maintain" the blockchain in the sense of adding or subtracting from it beyond the transactions I create myself to spend my own money.

>With the increased difficulty in mining, it's very unlikely for anyone without a large investment in hardware, that you're ever going to make money on the fees.

Correct, so I don't mine.

>It provides no incentive to run the full client to help the network confirm transactions.

Again, "help" is a bit ambiguous. When I run bitcoin-qt, I relay transactions, but I do not contribute any processing power to confirmations. "Confirming" a transaction means including it in a block, an d only miners create blocks.

Now, it is a bit of a problem that there is little to no incentive to run a validating client, i.e. one that accepts transactions, verifies that they are cryptographically and monetarily valid, and passes them on to other people. We shall see if another cryptocoin solves this issue.
I don't think that it's that unreasonable. It's possible that this particular restaurant might be in a very tourist heavy area of NYC. Also, there might just have been an influx of customers taking pictures for that time period. Who knows...

They wont show evidence. It seem manipulated for me as well. Never in my life I was in restaurant that could come any close to those numbers.

The only reason might be - this restaurant is focused on "Hipster" community known for heavy usage of their phones.

Also if user stays on his phone for so long I am sure he knows how to set Wifi without taking whole 5 minutes of waiter time.

And finally - 20% people sent their food back for reheating? I am not sure if there is different culture in NYC but from perspective of guest I my see 1% of returns in restaurants I go to.

This post seems like an instruction guide created by some restaurant union/organization to speed up the time and improve profits of restaurants by making people feel bad about using their phones.
No, I'm Brazilian, and I'm speaking of "we" as everyone else outside scandinavia.

I phrased like that because most of the comments here were highlighting the fact that they did not find anything sinister going on, just as it was implicit that if it comes from the government, it must be sinister.

I've been to Sweden and even if they are not particularly fond of their government, they do trust it ways of magnitude more than we - as in everyone else - generally do.
Plus for international travelers, restaurant wifi is sometimes the only way to get internet access
Just a funny side story; I was at a cafe for breakfast two months ago where a group of a half-dozen early-twenties diners came and sat down, ordered, then like clockwork photographed their food. What got me was that they paused to snap it, all got up, changed seats, and photographed their neighbours plate. One girl took out a DSLR once done with her iPhone.

We were outside, it was sunny but very windy and quite cold. There was also a line for tables. I felt a certain schadenfreude in knowing that their actions, as it delayed others who were waiting, ultimately meant a cold breakfast for them all. I suppose I can't fault those who would rather enjoy the visual sense of eating than the taste.

The problem you raise is actually three problems. First is tax-avoidance by Amazon. Second is a massive online seller replacing many employees at the local level with fewer employees at a central location. Third is that the retailer is foreign.

The first problem seems better addressed by tax reform, since it impacts many industries other than book selling, and this measure won't stop it with Amazon anyhow.

The second problem is one of increased efficiency (to use an economist's definition) causing disruption. The French seem to have been resistant to that since the industrial revolution, so it might be helpful to understand this law in that context. It's hard to see how they're going to win that one in the long run, although prolonged skepticism to the benefits of efficiency might have helped create some of the social benefits in France. From the outside though it looks like this social bias has hurt France more than helped it (other countries have maintained robust social programmes without rejecting technological disruption) so I wouldn't welcome laws promoting it.

The third problem is not just a case of nationalism, but because it makes it harder to soften the blow of disruption by pointing to other local jobs in technology. It's comes down to an argument on globalization. The jury is still out on whether globalization will be a net positive or negative. To me it seems unstoppable, though, and I don't think it's wise to be on the wrong side of the trend.
Why do you assume a 19 year has any sexual experience whatsoever? According to this study[1], 30+% of men hadn't.

On the rare occasions I get to eat out I find the waiter asks after about 1 minute if you're ready to order, if you're not ready then it can be 20 mins before they'll even pass your table again ... presumably the computerised seating plan/order system records average times [from seating to ordering] and the waiters are prompted appropriately (slightly early if the restaurant wants to push orders through faster)?
The data feels totally made up, but more importantly, I think the conclusion is a huge mistake: time per table has doubled from one hour to almost two hours, and the single culprit is the smart phone. I just don't buy it.
So how about this: don't work during lunch (at least not in a restaurant). Go to a mall plaza or somewhere that's not busy.

This is probably one of the most infuriating things in the work culture in Anglo North-America
