I'm curious as to what your turnaround time from order to delivery is?

We actually tried something pretty similar last year here in Portland (the site is still alive at www.localplate.com although we have ceased operations), we found it pretty challenging just to get people to plan ahead far enough for our offering to be viable. (We came across some consumer research that something like 70% of households don't have a plan for dinner until sometime the same day.)

We eventually tried distribution through existing retail channels which definitely helped with the traction side but made the economics pretty challenging. :)

Best of luck though, it's an interesting space with a lot of people attacking it from different directions right now.

(E-mail is in my profile if you want to know any more about our experience.)
For now, yes. In time, maybe not, as they add integrations into other bits like provisioning SSL for ELBs.

Having fought a LIDAR ticket before, the officer simply claims that he or she targeted your car and the judge admits the claim as a fact without question. Any attempts on your part to question this will be met with a reminder that the officer is Certified and Trained and you are just a random person with no qualifications to question the officer's abilities.

You can ask the officer if there was a wind that day, and if so how heavy. You can ask if the officer used a tripod or held the gun freehanded. Even if the officer admits that there was a heavy wind, the gun was used freehanded, and he or she pinged you in traffic at 950 ft, the judge will still accept the officer's word that your car, and only your car, was targeted.

Why? Because it's easier for the court, because they know you can't prove without a doubt that the officer targeted a different car, and because it is an important source of income for the city or county which has summoned you.

It's a scam, but it's one which Americans in general are comfortable with because it gives them the illusion of safety.
> It's difficult to reconcile the Third Party doctrine with Riley. Under the third party doctrine, storing a document in the cloud is like leaving a box of papers in your friend's garage--not protected under the 4th amendment. But under Riley, storing a document in the cloud is like storing it locally on your phone--protected under the 4th amendment.

What about storing documents in a safety deposit box of a bank? Where does that fall legally? I would imagine that storing documents on a box rented from a cloud provider should fall under the same law.

I recently started using KeePass2Android [1] instead of KeePassDroid. It has some features I really like, like cloudstorage integration with Google Drive, Dropbox and more.

Qubes OS is evolving in this direction for all peripheral devices (even some of the ones on the motherboard such as NICs). USB is taking more time, but controllers will in future automatically be sandboxed in Service VMs. For now, a Qubes user can quickly create their own USBVM that uses the system IOMMU (if present) to reassign USB controllers to that VM; Likewise, you can also assign particular USB controllers to individual VMs. These VMs can be selected for autostart at boot time with a couple mouse clicks.

A more granular and hence flexible way to sandbox and handle USB devices will be coming to Qubes by way of Xen's PV USB feature.

At Mashable, we did something similar, except we just used Sidekiq. We'd built a lot of functionality in Ruby, which included ActiveRecord classes for Wordpress tables (which makes working with Wordpress's table hierarchy actually sane, and it's insanely useful to be able to get to your DB as objects in a console), so we could interact with Wordpress directly. Actually queueing Sidekiq jobs is pretty trivial - you just need to be able to talk to Redis.

Our frontend doesn't actually use Wordpress any more, which was vastly eased by this approach; being able to decouple the backend and frontend made it surprisingly easy to obviate the front-end portions of the product.
Definitively +1 on the desktop app. And more that just bc that fits better on some workflows is bc the kind of features that a desktop app leave you to implement. Currently my team is using timedoctor, i hate its ui/ux but they have this feature: "track keyboard activity" that lone is not impressive but their desktop app using this feature after a configurable period of time can alert me to ask if im still working on the selected task and if i don't answer he fallback to a "time break" activity. That is great bc right now with timely i can forget about a timer and let it grow for ever and later will be hard to remember when did I really ended doing that.

Great ui/ux I'm on trial now.. and i love what you got... but w/o this feature my team will keep using ugly timedoctor, nothing personal btw ;)
Agreed. It doesn't take a lot of working with PayPal to know the IPN system is fragile at best.

I do the same thing, but instead of plus addressing I give each vendor a unique email at my domain. I now receive spam on my mint, geico, tumblr, lendingclub, disney, adobe, and dropbox addresses. In my case it's always outright spam instead of something remotely legitimate.

Your situation seems different than mine. I think my addresses were taken during a security breach instead of being sold by the company.

In my case I just change my address with the company to dropbox2@, and block the original address.

I also have a friends-and-family email address that isn't published anywhere online that finally started receiving spams. I think it was taken from a neighbor's address book in hotmail when he got phished.

I think a possible long-term solution would be for everyone to have a unique address for everyone else. The email software would auto-negotiate a unique address after your first communication with the person, creating a pairing similar to a friendship on a social network. I'm getting off-topic, but here's a link explaining what I mean a bit more: http://stevenjewel.com/2014/02/clearskies-chat/ (It's about decentralized IM instead of email, but the same antispam technique would work for either.)

Maybe someone should make a "patent or not patent?" game, where it describes mundane things and you have to guess if it's patented or not.
It was harder to rip off somebody else's design hundreds of years ago, and the USA has not spent much time without patents. IP is even discussed in the Constitution.
What interests me is why Brennan was so confident at the beginning of this affair that he was willing to go on record making comments like:

>We wouldn’t do that. I mean, that’s just beyond the, you know, the scope of reason in terms of what we do.

I mean why would he do this unless there was no risk in his mind that he would ever get caught?

His initial stonewalling and gaslighting were enough to actually induce Feinstein, a career supporter of the Intelligence Community, to get up and make an aggrieved speech excoriating the CIA.

Months later, and no doubt after many backroom talks, Brennan apologizes and kowtows, and then the DoJ conveniently decides that neither the committee staffers nor the CIA can be investigated further. As a member of the public, I am left nonplussed. I can't help but wonder if this whole fiasco was, at it's core, a clash of personalities. Pretty insulting to anyone who actually cares about the principles being breached by the CIA's behaviour.

Again and again we get this pattern of venality, where the officials in charge of protecting everyone's rights only react when their own petty trappings of power and prestige are threatened. Merkel's phone, Feinstein's committee - there is a disgusting trend here.

Exactly.

To elaborate on how this works in Gecko. The rendering pipeline has several optional stages:

requestAnimationFrame (Scripts) -> Style flush -> Reflow flush -> display list construction -> Layer construction (recycling) -> invalidation -> Paint/Rasterization -> Compositing (on it's own thread).

Gecko tries to only run each stage of the pipeline only if they are needed. Fast operations like a CSS transition on an opacity or transform will only activate the Compositing phase. WebGL only canvas drawing will only activate rAF + Compositing. Meanwhile a JS animation on "top" will run all of these phases.

Their intention is for the pool to act as a filter to clean NYC's waterways[1]. Research into effective water filters could be worthwhile, but the floating pool seems to overshadow that aspect.

By draining the Colorado dry and making it relatively cheap to grow lettuce and celery all year in the middle of the desert, we expend a ridiculous amount of water.

Sounds like a root cause to me. Make it more expensive and food prices would rise, and we could resume doing things like growing greenhouse vegetables in Massachusetts, etc.

I’m a huge fan of CoffeeScript and use it wherever I can... It works for the most part but I had to straddle the syntactical line between brittle and overwrought, with all of the extra brackets.

I don't know what extra brackets are referred to here without code samples, but based on the link to Vjeux's post [0], they are completely unnecessary, given the behavior of React vis-a-vis multiple parameters and CoffeeScript with syntactic whitespace and object literals, at least as of CoffeeScript 1.7... For instance, the example:

{div, h3, textarea} = React.DOM
(div {className: 'MarkdownEditor'}, [
(h3 {}, 'Input'),
(textarea {onKeyUp: @handleKeyUp, ref: 'textarea'},
@state.value
)
])

Could be written with far less punctuation as:

{div, h3, textarea} = React.DOM
div
className: 'MarkdownEditor'
h3 {}, 'Input'
textarea
onKeyUp: @handleKeyUp
ref: 'textarea'
@state.value

(Though I usually pass null as the empty param to make it feel worse...)

Beef isn't irrational. Ranching in Nevada probably is.

It's a market problem. Because of the way water rights were allocated, it's cheap to do wacky things like farm the desert. You can very easily farm beef cattle in places where water is abundant... Places like New York, Kentucky, etc, just not at the scale as on massive plots of empty land.
I use a random email alias on a domain I own for each company I deal with. Generate one, throw in a database. For example: HN could be 8o0yxfkzleeftylr3dmb@example.com.

When I get incoming spam I can look up who the address is assigned to, cut off the alias and then take further action such as notifying the company, giving them a new email, or cutting ties with them.

I don't bother with retribution (would take too much time) -- if the company is unwilling to acknowledge the incident or it happens multiple times I cut the cord and move on.
Does anyone want to sell their Stellar?
I'm more or less where you are (even formerly worked at a (local) tv station doing graphics and editing) only ten years older. I decided to take programming seriously because when I was laid off, it was a hobby and really the only other thing I was marginally good at.

The answer is - probably yes. I built a Linkedin profile and taught myself to use Github and created some projects and published some wordpress plugins over a couple of years. Since I also had a graphics degree (apparently worthless), I made some logos and a couple of wordpress sites for people, for pocket change. Nothing much has happened yet - occasional freelance work and I'm interning at a startup but, you know, it's probably never as hopeless as you think.
All but the "if we just listened to each other, we'd understand each other." The type theorist's and programmer's different perspective s means basically that we'd fight over the meaning of type for our entire conversation.
If you take a look, you'll discover that almost nobody in a typical government even thinks about tax revenues (except when they are paying it).
> by tradition, a mother who killed herself but not her children was thought to be truly wicked.

Not sure if cultural relativism here should take precedence and just say "ok it is their culture, who am I to judge it". On the other hand, it is kind of dreadful that this was so common, it got to be a cultural tradition.

There is something dreadful about it. You know "you bow before the elders", "take your shoes before you enter someone's home", "slaughter your children before you kill yourself".

I guess, like the article says, suicide is one of those "unknown knowns" that is ingrained in the social subconsciousness. They mention samurai and sepuku and how certain people were "praised" in a way for committing an honorable suicide.
Some funny drunk people xD
I appreciate your comment. I just sent you an email and would to chat more.
Possibly, but you could also decide that there simply isn't enough signal to draw a conclusion. We don't know if time zones are accounted for properly. We don't know if this fraction represents a significant number of users - for example, the number of fraudulent users could be the least at 3AM, but if the decrease in users overall is greater, then the percentage increases. The data is misrepresented.
Aluminium/aluminum is less British/American than you might think. Humphry Davy initially called it alumium, then aluminum, then it was decided by others to call it aluminium, which became the dominant spelling (which it still is, internationally).

Then, just to confuse matters, Charles Martin Hall promotes it as aluminum on his marketing posters, but himself calls it aluminium on his technical documents, so some people think that the predominance of aluminum in North America may just be down to a typo.

edit - Looking at the New York Times, I notice that while they write 'NASA' and 'NATO', they also tend to write 'Unicef' and 'Norad'. I wonder if they have a four letters or less capitalisation rule for acronyms.
Well, look at how much people complain about gas prices, and the extent to which that can influence government, and try to imagine what would happen if people were starving instead of merely paying more than they are used to for transportation.

We prop up the government of Saudi Arabia, and to some extent this is true of Israel as well, and in fact most of what we do in the Middle East - at great cost diplomatically - all for oil. And food is more important than oil.

The food supply is simply too useful a lever for politics, to hand it over to a third party, i.e. a foreign country.
And he was okay with it? That seems surprising since your businesses are about as close in scope as you can get without actually overlapping. If I heard about Timely from a friend, and searched for a scheduling app called "timely" on the App Store or the internet, I would just assume the first one I landed on was the correct one. And if it was wrong, then I would see it doesn't do what I want, and leave.

Seems like the naming conflict could canmobalize sales for both of your companies. Why wouldn't you change the name? Especially if you knew so far ahead of time??
I'm in the same boat -- same username as HN, but facebook login isn't working.
> Stellar is a decentralized protocol

Stellar has a central authority that can mint new stellars. That is not decentralized. Bold-faced lie.
Anyway, unless you have a very small array, even addressing is enough to make it slow. And arrays were already big at the time I programmed FPGAs, I can only imagine they are much larger now.
Also, that distribution doesn't scream "relevant correlation" to me. The bins are different sizes.

No, (not other than the api docs for devs, that explains that one way to publish from (any) app is to push files to /var/www). I guessed the dns-setup was one way -- wasn't sure if that would work without a routable address though (eg: 10.0.0.0/x on a lan). Or in my case, with the test setup in a vagrant box.

[edit: That is, I couldn't find any docs on how to publish from hacker cms, but I did find this for devs:

I wish to solve the problem of sync data from mobile to a master database, and is about invoices, orders and that kind of data. Here, is necessary to preserve the order of the data actions. The data must return back to each client, and the clients could be offline from time to time. In some cases for a couple of days. I have total control on the solution, so I could move to any direction, but my only hard requirement is that the data in the client is on sqlite.

I struggle to build a reliable solution, but I understand that a log based could be a good idea. Wonder what way could lead me closer to the solution?
Yes, that's what I'm saying, and no, obviously depleting the water table is stupid - and, in the long run, harmful to national security for the same reason.

I was just pointing out what should be obvious - not disagreeing with the parent comment.
First off, there are a number of "discontinuities" (I must point out that this term you used is logically and technically incorrect,) in the demand for transportation; but I will leave that aside for now.

To sustain any given level of population, a corresponding (though not directly proportional) amount of transportation must exist, as not all necessities for life are available everywhere in sufficient quantity. Because of this, transportation is as much as requirement as is water (bough the latter undoubtedly serves a much more direct purpose). The capital goods which allow for transportation are provided in sufficient quantity to satisfy demand through a (mostly) well functioning market for boats, ships, trains, planes, and automobiles. BMW does not make up the whole of this market, but serves well as a synecdoche (this avoiding a tiresome list of all transportation capital good manufacturers), demonstrating the importance of the price as a signal, incentive, and motive for the fulfillment of human needs and wants.
Better would be to get rid of laws or homeowner association rules that require that lawns be kept green, or at least suspend them when water is tight.

No such laws or rules apply in my neighborhood, and I never water my lawn. For a few weeks or so in the summer it might turn brown, but that doesn't harm it. When rain comes, it turns green again.

Lawns do have some benefits. They have a significant cooling effect, which can save air conditioning costs. They filter dust and pollutants from the air. They reduce noise pollution. They remove carbon from the atmosphere (NASA says US lawns take out 17 teragrams of CO2 a year...although lawn mowers certainly put a lot back). See [1].

Disclosure: I work for NSONE.

At 2M queries/mo our list pricing is $8 (https://nsone.net/support/billing/). Indeed our Biz Plan is $200 -- but that includes 24/7 support, 25M queries, and other bells & whistles. If you just need a little more volume, stick with the startup plan.

That said, indeed, in general we're more expensive than R53, Rage4, and various others, because of the depth of capabilities of the platform and the quality of the support we provide. But we're also pretty unique in giving away 1M queries free with no feature locking, so our most advanced stuff is available to everyone. If you're just after basic geo-routing at the lowest cost, we're happy to help but you may find other services cheaper; but if you intend to go beyond geo to complex failover arrangements, load shedding, weighting/stickiness, network-based fencing, etc, then do some tinkering with NSONE and let us know what you think. Feedback is always good. :)

> the prof expected us to use […] and I had missed that lecture

You just gave me a wave of nostalgia. That’s how I survived all of my math and physics classes. If you develop an intuitive understanding of the material, you can derive things as needed from a few core principles you do remember. A bit sad when learning is the way to subvert an educational system, though.
I may be missing it, but that report doesn't seem to support thousands of gallons per 1/3 lbs.

From Table 2, beef requires 7,477 m^3 of water per ton, which comes out to 330 gallons per 1/3 lbs. Table 3 says 15m415 m^3 of water per ton. I'm not entirely sure I understand why that's different from table 2, but that's 678 gallons per 1/3 lbs.
I'm of the opinion that languages around the 10 year mark
(which PHP is obviously well past) really ought to focus on
becoming the best X they can be, rather than chasing the
tail lights of constantly-moving best practice.

Would that include not adding:

* Anonymous functions and closures
* Namespaces
* Late static binding
* Dynamic dispatching to static methods
* Rackup/SimpleHTTPServer-like web server
* "finally" in exception-handling
* Being able to call foo()[0] instead of the clumsy
assign-then-dereference two-step.

What does "the best PHP it can be" mean? Anonymous functions (for example) are arguably way outside the style of the PHP from ten years ago, but they're tremendously useful.

(I used to use PHP. I dislike it as a language, but I have nothing against them continuing to improve it like they have over the last nine years.)

PS: PHP already supports threading via a PECL module. http://php.net/manual/en/class.thread.php
It's because they tried to do a button effect. But they missed the idea. They have to add a top border of color white on the hover.
It's an interesting point - cheaper items are not worth the time to the company to drive to pick up and subsequently to deliver, and more expensive items are not worth the cut for the seller, who can get cheaper pickup elsewhere.
