It's primarily a stove, and does a relatively good job at boiling water or cooking food. As a nice bonus for us, we used it to shave some crank time off a hand-crank/USB-chargeable lantern, deep enough in the woods that a solar panel probably wouldn't have done a whole lot.

(FWIW, I generally agree that it's probably not great for serious backpacking, but I had a lot of fun using while camping.)

Yes, either phrase is usually understood by American readers. However, "I could care less" has a literal meaning opposite from its idiomatic meaning and is likely more troublesome for non-native or non-American readers.

Also, when many people read "I could care less", they assume the writer has a deficiency in their education and/or attention to detail. Seldom is it advantageous to write "I could care less" instead of "I couldn't care less".
PunkBuster (used by many games including Battlefield) does this as well.

Reading the letters would help. A physical attack. "Choking"

But I would highly doubt her credibility having read her smear letter and the questioning methods they did those times, and the four years needed for the divorce.

p64: from an "Los Angeles Times" report 7/18/56
"His ex-wife reportedly testified that on several occasions when she unwittingly disturbed either his calculus or his drums he flew into violent rage, during which time he choked her, threw pieces of bric-a-brac about and smashed the furniture."

The other citations left out the choking part literally:
"...the appointee's wife was granted a divorce from him because of appointee's constantly working calculus problems in his head as soon as awake, while driving car, sitting in living room, and so forth, and that his one hobby was playing his African drums. His ex-wife reportedly testified that on several occasions when she unwittingly disturbed either his calculus or his drums he flew into a violent rage, during which time he attacked her, threw pieces of bric-a-brac about and smashed the furniture."

I wonder what she wrote on the deleted 13 consecutive pages attachment at the end about his "Evidence of Disloyalty" and "Personality and Character", that the even the FBI decided to delete it.
And a second questioning about 2 specific points brought nothing specific, so it was only this famous single letter. I find it interesting how she made up the numbered list of arguments which sound like FBI wordings, probably influenced by the questioning method.

She is summarized by the FBI as "She said that her personal feeling is that FEYNMAN is without character or acceptable moral fiber. She ... emphatically he is not acceptable to her as an appointment to any position with the U.S. Government which would require moral character and emotional stability." (p188)
And she refused to furnish a signed statement on these allegations.
According to the video in the product pages [1] the creator of this pan came up with the idea on a mountaineering trip because "it takes forever to boil water at high altitude".

What?! Isn't it the other way around? Lower atmospheric pressure means that water boils at significantly lower temperature [2].

Hi carlob; my thoughts exactly! The boiling point is lower. It takes longer to boil foods because of the lower temperature, but that's a different problem from time-to-boil, which should be shorter, if anything.

Indeed Detroit is going through this with their museum's assets, which could be liquidated to pay creditors. Suddenly I understood (part of) why owners of art lend things to museums instead of giving them.

As a further comment to my post, I guess it's safe to say I trust Brin and Page more than I trust control split apart a million ways to a million middle-class people like myself. If someone made the argument that Google could do something evil and I'd only have to work 30 hours per week for the rest of my life instead of 40, I'd be tempted. Brin and Page have no such incentive.
It does take longer to cook food by boiling it, but having a more efficient pan won't help for that. As a matter of fact it becomes almost impossible to make risotto at altitudes over 3000 m.
Germany vs. Argentina Win Probability
You seem really passionately against this.

This is a camp stove. You cook things on it. It has a fan to provide a very efficient, very clean burn.

It happens to have a charger on it as a side effect of being a fan driven burner. I guarantee that "getting power for free while cooking breakfast" is dramatically more efficient than a solar panel.

Add that hiking I'm going to cook multiple times. Number of times I'm in open sunlight, at a fixed location for a period of time -- approximately zero.

Not sure what you have against this, but it seems to be founded in the notion that you think this is a wood-powered USB charger, when it's a camp stove that also provides USB charging.
I'm pretty happy with the steady low heat I can get with a good conventional pan. But claims that this is the pan of the future will only hold up if it not only heats up very efficiently at high temperatures, but also doesn't heat up too efficiently at low temperatures.
I think I see where this went of track and I think this is a grave misunderstanding.

"The biggest hurdle in all those systems is understanding what typesetting actually is"

Read it as:

"The biggest hurdle in all those systems (for the user) is understanding what typesetting actually is"

Many programmers approach TeX (and patoline?) as programming environments like programming languages. They are not, even if they allow to build new components (maybe using scripts). I wanted to illustrate the challenges from that perspective.

I did not want to fundamentally criticize your ability to tackle those problems or imply that patoline is not fitting to those problems. My biggest problem was that the About page gave me no idea about your system as a typesetting system, only as a programming environment and some of that gives me a bit of a headache. This is by the way shared with many other projects, my pet peeve is a programming language that mentions it's own name only once on the About page and Haskell thrice ;). Be more self-centric! What is patoline, not compared to TeX?

If you read anything else out of that - I am sorry for phrasing that wrong.

Still, as a maintainer of a software that is often criticized in similar fashions (we build a web framework in Ruby that is not Rails), I would recommend to take the criticism as a less emotional matter. Software is rarely our actual baby and it often helps more to just discuss the actual points of the criticism or check whether there is a misunderstanding (this, in this instance, also applies to me).

As a final word: Sorry for what came out of that. I understand your frustration and that you needed to write it off your chest. My reaction was a bit knee-jerk as well.

>Any differences from Zite (now owned by Flipboard)?

Yep, differences in design, approach, and implementation. It offers better recommendations and can do things Zite couldn't.

This is not to discount the groundbreaking work done by the Zite team at the time; the last CEO of Zite is a friend who managed the product well. It's always easier when you've been able to learn what other companies have done well and what they haven't. And we've been able to do things like using Google App Engine for the backend from the beginning, which wouldn't exactly have been possible when Zite was founded 9 years ago (and because of earlier GAE limitations and higher costs may not even have been practical even 2-3 years ago).

As a practical matter, Zite is about to be discontinued with some of its features, in theory, to be eventually incorporated into Flipboard. (The March 5 announcement of the acquisition said they'll be "shutting it down" as early as September 5: http://blog.zite.com/2014/03/05/zite-is-flipping-out/ ) So if you liked Zite, you might want to sign up at http://recent.io
It seems the case that the life of a company also follows the Dark Knight quote "You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain." That is, when a company starts, we all invest because we want our chance to become majority stake holders in the next big monopoly destroyer. Once a company accomplishes this, it becomes a target just as the company(ies) it replaced. I'm no expert and I could be overly generalizing, but am I the only one that sees a problem with the fundamental form company growth takes today?

On the contrary. Burning (current) biomass is essentially carbon neutral. It's burning fossil fuel that causes the carbon dioxide level in the atmosphere to increase.
In the case where you retrieve multiple random colours, is there a chance you could add a setting that doesn't return colours that are too close to each other?

True. They even wrote the text but it's hidden in the footer as FAQ:

What happens to the wood you don't burn? It decomposes letting CO2 into the atmosphere. Fossil fuels release carbon captured millions of years ago, over millions of years, in a very short time. That's the difference.
Wood is free and available on the trail.

You have to buy (and carry!) alcohol.
I like the colors it generated for me very much... But it should also have the ability to generate ugly colors. It's just not fair to favor the pleasing colors so heavily.
Depends if Washington or London were facing a humanitarian crisis of epic proportions on account of repressive blockades from a neighbor. I'm quite sure Washington or London would be sending missiles towards any country promoting invasion, destruction of hospitals, repression of the general population ..
I agree with all the other comments here about the name being absolutely wrong. Maddeningly wrong.

The "hook" for this app seems to be not just disappearing content but also disappearing "friends" (impermanence is hot!). It's interesting how much this must hamper any viral uptake. The app itself is deleting the overlap you need to prompt adoption. what are the odds that two people who are grinding on the dance floor both have the app installed waiting to connect? What are the odds I am going to want to take the time to publish a vibe knowing I have very few permenant contacts?
It's actually much worse than that. Without any kind of ad blocking or privacy extensions, 2 minutes after loading the page, it has made 770 HTTP requests and used 18.5 MB of data. Is this becoming the industry standard now for blogs and news sites?
The forest floor decomposes and releases just as much CO2 as burning it would.
This is probably a cognitive bias obtained from reading the industry trade press.

There's a notable alternative -- you don't have a meteoric rise to giant status, but you also don't collapse. These sorts of "happy medium" companies are in the vast majority even in our industry, but they're less likely to end up on the front page of a news feed, esp. those biased toward the fast growth (startup) community.

Also, you forgot the last stage. After becoming super rich, the CEO gets inspired by something other than heading up a vilified corporation, then goes off and founds a foundation that does great humanitarian work. Now that the company is not on top and the founder is doing exclusively good stuff for humanity, no one hates either anymore :-)

and now imagine if that effort had been put into keeping Google Code modern. instead, it was allowed to stagnate while GitHub ate its lunch.
> Also, an important difference is that Rust traits can be used as Java-style interfaces; for example, you can have a list of objects of different types, but that all implement `Show`.

To be a tiny bit nitpicky here: you can have a list of pointers to objects of different types. Vec<Show> is illegal, Vec<&Show> is not.

Still, it's like Java in that regard ;).
What is it a step forward for? A popular opinion on HN seems to be that programming should be taught in schools because it's somehow a new basic skill everyone should have? I have to disagree and don't see it being a step forward for anything. Programming after hours, taught as a kind of extracurricular activity seems sufficient to me. There's no need to know how to program a computer. Knowing how to use a computer is the important skill. You don't need to know how to rebuild a transmission to drive a car in the same way you don't need to know how to build a web page to know how to input text into form fields and click a submit button. Those who are curious and interested will learn to build the things we use while others will find it more than enough to simply to know how to use the things the rest of us have built.

I, like anyone else here, am super passionate about programming and it thrills me to be able to make a computer do my bidding but my friends and family don't care how the computer works. That's okay. I know a carpenter. I love living in a well built home but don't really care to know how to build one. Knowing how to work a stud finder to hang a painting is enough for me.
I want to live in the culture. You get to live your life how you want it, with wide use of mind and body enhancing drugs, with nobody to tell you how to live, with nobody to spy on you, so long as you, in turn, do not harm others. If you are in immediate danger, you will be rescued.
Yes it does. Learn and read about photosynthesis. Plants get carbon from the atmosphere.
Would someone not say that in a face to face conversation? I certainly would.

I think the phrase web artisan is embarrassingly twee, like most (over)usage of the words artisan/craft etc. etc.
I guess a lot of stoves don't work as well in the thinner, usually colder air.

(with all sorts of other things feeding into it, the fuel, the particular design of the stove, etc.)

Uhm? Why do you consider a resting heart rate of under 75bpm to be a bad condition?

I'm just assuming that you are within the average age group of hacker news readers (somewhere between 20 and 40 years) it's not really recommended for you to be above 75bpm.
No I agree. As soon as I heard the music I instantly started thinking about it. "Is music always this distracting? Is this louder than normal? What is he saying. Oh well, I'm sure it's just me." But I'm glad you pointed this out. Definitely worth a reshoot.
I think you hit the heart of my concern, even with access to the law, most people need a lawyer to translate the laws into something that can be understood.

Not to mention that the comments to the article prove that when many see one case where the defendant was quite obviously being an asshole and see a law like, "prosecute people for posting nude images to hurt a person without their consent" would just say, "Hey yeah, screw those assholes!"

But there is no mention of the civil and constitution rights quagmire that a law like this can create. Not to mention that most people would likely read this and think it only applies to revenge porn and doesn't have implications to content published in a mutually consensual nature, where the consent was later revoked. Or where a person has their data hacked and leaked and the ex jumps to the conclusion that the content was posted by the creator to hurt them.

It's nice that they protected minors by only including people over the age of 18 in the definition, but to me, the issue is that laws like this allow for potential abuse by former romantic partners and prosecutorial abuse if charges are ever pressed and that isn't at all clear in the way the law is written.

And the article also doesn't stipulate that the damages guaranteed by this law are not only the fines of up to a $10,000 which just goes to the court but also the right of the victim to file a civil suit with a minimum $10,000 + legal fees. So basically, they have created a major incentive for unscrupulous people to turn former lovers in regardless of whether or not they have actually been harmed in any way or had given consent to post the content or whether or not the person charged was even involved with the distribution.

In this case, yeah, the guy needs some reform. But in any other case, all that would likely be needed for a conviction is a sexually explicit video that features both parties with a profile with the picture of one party and the other as the crying victim.

Sir William Blackstone said, "It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer." I believe laws like this are designed to harass innocent people, whether intentionally or not.
I disagree with most of your points, but agree somewhat with the non-sold by Amazon nonsense, and the generally poor quality of 3rd party sellers. You have to be very watchful with this. Not using Prime isolates you from this pretty well, as you can easily filter by items available under Prime shipping terms, and 3rd party sellers that put their stuff in the Amazon warehouses to make them Prime eligible avoid the slow shipping problems and are generally not an issue. However, the third party sellers on there are giving them a bad reputation, because people are not distinguishing them from Amazon proper.

I seriously doubt there is any personal retaliation going on.

I don't think they should split the business, as one of the things that makes AWS good is that it has to keep Amazon running. The initial concept of AWS as something that Amazon can use to meet demand peaks, while selling excess capacity makes a lot of sense.
...But only for gas stoves. It would be interesting to see a map of the preferred stove technologies.
