This is about novice entrepreneurs, who are basically unsolicitable, because they could be anybody. And it specifically says that this is about "the first stage of a potential relationship", at which point you may not know that there's a conflict. Indeed, that there's a conflict may be unknowable given how young businesses change over time. And an actual conflict of interest is rarely the problem; what clients generally freak about is their perception of a conflict of interest, which novice entrepreneurs can have very broad perceptions of. "You're working with another person who sells stuff on the Internet? But we plan one day to sell everything, not just cross country skiing supplies. You're just going to steal our secrets for them!"

So yeah, "Do not compete with your customers" is sensible advice, but it's an especially good reason not to sign an NDA for initial discussions. Then potential clients won't tell you things that might be problematic in a competitive situation.

No, the GP is correct and "calories consumed >> calories burned" is a gross oversimplification. For example, one extra Oreo cookie a day ends up in several pounds gained over a year. Tiny changes in net calories can have very large effects in equilibrium weight. In addition, it is so easy to say "just eat less", but it is very (very) well documented that some overweight people can eat less and lose weight, but they are looking at being extremely hungry every second for the rest of their lives. Once a weight set point has been established, your body can scream at you forever until you regain that weight setting. So easy for "normal" weight people to say "Just eat less".
Use node for bundling+minification.

Its on npm for convenience. I also hope to make it compatible with CommonJs and have components of it work through the server.

Well, I know in my development specifically we built about 40 miles of paved bike trail. The neighboring developments all have connecting trails of similar size.

It all connects into the regional bike trail system which includes a 50 mile paved and marked trail that gets you literally from farmland into the major city and crosses through almost every other sizable city and employment center along the way, each with connecting bike systems of their own. I don't know for my county specifically but the neighboring county has something like 500 miles of paved bike trail. I'm pretty sure my county isn't quite that extensive or well integrated but it's almost all fairly new, within the last 20 years.

It doesn't bring every town to within a friendly bike ride, but if you live and work near the 50 mile main trail, it's reasonable to bike commute to work every day.

The whole system across 3 counties and about 3 million people is something like 20 times the size of Copenhagen's to put it into perspective. It's just that my taxes mostly cover my local area and we're probably at under 100 miles of trail all told or about half what all of NYC has.

I don't know if that's a lot or not. It's not a mirror of the road system in terms of size (which I'd personally like to change), but it's no slouch either.
I think "don't say no" to new opportunities etc is a much better lesson and take away than the title and related paragraph. I'd tell you why but I've got a bunch of code to fix this evening.
why would be they laughing? It's a hoax?
Can you recommend me to any further reading regarding this or good literature? I've always meant to keep up with that, but aside from source papers is there a good overview of essentially what you're explaining? ie Further reading about Hilbert's Program.
I just started downloading the code and training data, I'm interested in what quiz bowl packets were used as the training data. Most college level quiz bowl packets are posted publicly on the web but are copyrighted by the original authors and are unlikely to be licensed for such a purpose.
A quick glance when the wrist is already in eyeline is no worse than a quick glance at the speedometer or the rearview mirror. But in any case, the primary navigatory use would be to use it while stopped at a light. (And as mentioned, it's also awesome for walking.)
There's a little over 4 million roads in the U.S. (streets to highways) about 3 million of those are non-urban paved. So even if the remaining million miles of road are all designed specifically for bikes, I can guarantee the other 3 million were not.

> What's fair is fair and if cars can get away with it then cyclists should too. If cars can't, cyclists shouldn't either.

I absolutely agree.
1. NPM is just an easy way to install it, you can also use bower or just download the source and minified packages.

2. I see no reason why it would.

3. It's all client based regardless of how you do it, it just adds cookies. If you want to get the information server side just get it server side (PHP example https://github.com/thephpleague/oauth2-client) there is no need to get it client side if you need it server side with a server side library (thus why NPM is shown as node is server side).
Honeycrisp apples are amazing. If you've never had one before you're in for a big surprise.
I have to say I love Red Delicious apples when they are fresh. They are the worst for shelf life so you need to be careful, but I will take one at its freshest over any other variety I have tasted.
Nice endorsement
The BIG HUGE problem with the article is in using app store revenue to measure "value to the ecosystem." Google does not show signs of caring about app store revenue and would certainly continue to develop Android without that revenue. Google has a completely different ecosystem than Apple.

That said, The value of the new iPhones is considerable. They will make a dent in Android market share, but not as big a dent as had they been "indestructable" sapphire clad.
Has the apple itself changed? I don't remember the modern frustration with mealy red delicious apples when I was a kid - I loved them back then. Is modern shipping or farming rougher now?
Point taken. My partner and I run a drone startup meetup with 1000+ members [1] and also build an iOS app and hardware to control UAVs at long range. Sign up and come meet some new people next time we put one on.

My point was that if you put yourself out their instead of lurking people will respond better (instead of how I and other did) and can also reach out to you. If we know nothing about you or what makes you tick we have no connection and no reason to spend our time helping you out.

In terms of the app portion of the ecosystem, iOS apps tend to be much higher quality than Android apps overall.
They are really hard to find... almost as if they are seasonal or something!
I agree with everything you say here which is why I support any initiative which increases the dedicated bike trail system in my area and makes it more useful.
I hate situations in which the traffic light turn red just before I cross the street.

Most cases, I made the correct choice, but sooner or later I am going to screw up.

But a self-driving car shouldn't get any hangup like that and the AI should improve each time it gets into an accident just like airline safety improve after each accident.
It may have also helped that processor designs were also incredibly simple and the typical demands of a modern optimizer bear almost no resemblance to the demands of a compiler back then.
Tory Burch isn't going to make watch bands for random Android Wear devices. I know it hasn't been announced, but look at the iPhone accessories market: most of the designer labels focus their efforts on Apple products. The tie-in to the Apple Watch is inevitable.

As far as I can tell... This seems like someone greped through a bunch of older leaks for 'Gmail.com' and realeased the result as passwords for gmail addresses.
True, but Google needs to keep their own platform as large as possible. What do we say around HN about building your business on someone else's platform?
Yup ... this one is particularly interesting/weird.

Black women carry this behavior over to black men they perceive as "white" ... (interests, speech that sort of thing). As a black man it really is kind of perplexing.
I think this is the closest it gets:

> But as genes for beauty were favored over those for taste, the skins grew tough and bitter around mushy, sugar-soaked flesh.
I strongly agree with this. With the new iOS, Apple have caught up on some of the Android features I've wanted to see in that platform. My current phone is aging, and I was ready to cut over.

However -- at an eye-watering $1000NZD minimum for a 16GB iPhone 6, there's just no way I can justify the purchase. The 5S is still going for a minimum of $900NZD. Retina assets mean that 16GB is vaguely pointless, so you're really looking at $1150 or $1300 (6/6+) for the step up.

Google's Nexus line, the Moto X/G and others have proved that premium-ish devices can be had for a third of that price, and as much as I'd like to be on iOS, I simply can't afford it.
If you sit on a jury, don't vote to convict on drug "crimes" or other prison-stuffing non-violent offences short of fraud and larceny on an epic scale.
Personal preference I guess. I switched from a Galaxy Nexus to an iPhone 5S, and I'm sorely disappointed with app functionality on iOS. Looking forward to jumping back to Android in short order.
The parent is probably referring to the fact that banana demand in the US was manufactured artificially, much in the same way as DeBeers marketing has made the diamond synonymous with luxury, marriage, etc.

There was demand for bananas before, but mostly as a local crop.
Out of curiosity, did you happen to pay for any of those things you are complaining about?

Edit: To folks down voting... That is totally fair, this was a useless negative comment on my part.

Regardless, it seems unnecessary to avoid using a product that it might get changed.
"...the first service layer on the shared economy that manages your routine across multiple on-demand and local services"

Definitely sounds like a line from Silicon Valley.

It's an interesting concept, but $25 a week on top of (presumably) extra money you spend on the sub-services seems pretty expensive just so I can avoid washing my laundry!
> What do we say around HN about building your business on someone else's platform?

That the government should regulate those peoples' platforms?
Yes. The systemd people are in control of the decision making process in debian now. They have decided that an upgrade to jessie will silently replace sysV with systemd. They have rejected all other arguments.

Honestly, these truly are authoritarian scumbags. Linux is finished. And it happened quickly too.
I'm black. I don't think its like that at all.

I think its just years of living in a society that subtly signals x = attractive, and y = unnattractive. After a while you imbibe those ideals and lock them in and it can be really really really difficult to undo them in your brain.

I'm black and I've dated women of lots of different ethnicities, and I'm just going off fly-on-the-wall observations of their friends/family and even their behavior to other black guys.

It is pretty fascinating stuff ... albeit a bit depressing being black
I don't find the absence of GEB in the top 100 amazing at all. Firstly not all readers have a science inclination. Even most of the programmers I know of, haven't heard of GEB. And plus GEB is a long slog even for people like us. Because to really understand it fully, you have to work through it and re read a few chapters over and over again.

As much as a gem of a book it is, its not for every one.
This really isn't true for the major players, IMO. Actually I find the Twitter app better on Android, for instance.

There's still a gap in the quality of apps made by smaller indie players though. iOS apps are generally better in that segment.
Just because you can algorithmically desugar doesn't mean you can invert that transformation. The property you're looking for is invertibility, not idempotence (which neither follows nor is relevant), and it doesn't follow.

As for the power of the desugaring system, you apparently decided to just ignore my first paragraph as an inconvenient truth. I could repeat it. But I can give you even simpler examples that are well-known as canonical examples of the genre: C++ templates, Scheme macros. Scheme's macros are about as simple a desugaring system as you could want. And yet even its _simplest_ version — too weak to express many of the language's constructs, way weaker than Racket's — is Turing-complete. I don't even know what you're talking about with "finite" sugars (all programs are finite by definition, but that doesn't imply anything about their dynamic properties).

I'm guessing haven't really thought about this problem much and are just speculating casually. You might want to read work like

http://cs.brown.edu/~sk/Publications/Papers/Published/pk-res...

which shows some of the complexity involved. (Just to make you happy, the desugaring in this paper uses about as "simple" a desugaring mechanism as you could want. And it is about an extended version of precisely the problem of undoing desugaring, hence the name "resugaring".) Once you've understood this material we'd be in a position to actually have a meaningful conversation.
No what I am saying is that the much talked about "reality distortion field" is nothing Apple specific. It's simply the ability of a company to charge a higher mark up due to premiumness of its brand.

People don't buy Mercedes cars because of the high tech in the cars (although that's a bonus). They but them because they're Mercedes cars.

In the same way people don't buy Rolexes to tell the time (although that's a bonus). They buy them because they want to wear a Rolex.

As easy as it is for some of the snobbier techies to dismiss Samsung's or LG's R&D I am pretty sure their smart watches didn't come out of thin air. They simply end up charging less for them because they never imagined them as premium products but rather utilities. They didn't start with a "reality distortion field".
Speaking only for myself, the red delicious takes up valuable market real estate that could better be used by some other variety of apple not resembling fresh styrofoam dunked in sugar water--I resent the red delicious for its combination of prominent place, flashy looks, nondescript flavor, and repugnant texture.

The red delicious stands apart for its extreme crispness, and to those sensitive to it, biting in is like nails on a chalkboard. Also, it seems like one chew releases all the moisture, leaving a mouthful of dry bleh-ness with which to contend.
When you say yellow delicious do you mean golden delicious? From my experience those are great fresh, but once they've gotten pretty soft then they become bland. Sometimes they'll retain sweetness but if so it doesn't last for very long.
Your point on the politeness of the Pebble is exactly why I'm wearing one right now. I hadn't worn a watch in years, and when I got a Pebble for a project, I thought I would use it just long enough to write some code for it. But I love being able to fend off and deal quietly with the various intrusions of my digital life. I can fend off a phone call, see a text, or be reminded of an appointment without a fit of beepilepsy. It makes my life more serene even when I'm alone, but what really sells me on it is when I'm around others.

The solution is to fork Wheezy off as an alternative to Debian.

Debian is now in the enemy camp. The decision making process has been taken over by the systemd people. New authoritarians.

Wheezy is the last of the unix like era of the Linux "software stack". All that is needed is to patch security fixes sometimes, and/or run a grsecurity patched kernel. The software in Wheezy does everything desired.

It is the ideal.
The ideal is being lost. Make sure you keep your source code DVDs.

Debian is now an enemy. Fork wheezy. Dump Jessie

Google has traditionally been too attention-starved to stick with a product long enough to get the design/UX perfect.

That's not to say Google has never created a truly beautiful product. Rather, the problem seems to be that Google isn't hooked directly to the hardware sales, so hardware design is left to third parties. Except for the handsets Google sells directly.

In the end, I think this strategy will win for Google, because there is so much more effort being invested into the creation of Android devices. I'm not saying quantity = quality, but rather that "good enough" trumps "perfect."

In the meantime, Xiaomi is a good example of trying to get Android to "perfect" -- and it's very telling that they mod it extensively (in MIUI).
You moved from high-end automatic watches to a smartwatch. In the long term, it's worth considering whether people will move from smartwatches to mechanical ones. If people get used to the features of an iWatch in their 20's, will they ever decide it's worth spending many thousands of dollars on a piece of jewelry that displaces all that functionality? If not, automatics may go the way of film cameras.

Whatever their merits as engineering marvels, expensive watches are Veblen goods that are worn to display wealth. Similar mechanisms can be put into pocket watches, but that's a much smaller market. Expensive watches have the appeal they do because they fall on the same continuum as everyone else's watch. Change the middle of the watch market and the current high end will look as absurd as a Vertu brick phone.
In time-poor and income-rich Silicon Valley, the time saved is ostensibly worth enough to make such services viable

Arkansas Black is one of my favorites. Not very common and usually only found later in the season, but they keep for months.
I really wish their analysis went beyond just heterosexual pairings.

Firstly because those who haven't dated outside their own gender like me can't really comprehend the significance of this and secondly because same-gender dating dynamics are profoundly different than their different-gender counterparts.

The thing is, every time a car passes a bicycle on a busy road, especially one that isn't designed to accommodate bicycles and cars safely (i.e., one with 0 inches paved shoulder to the right of the white line) it is inherently dangerous. And if the bicycle causes the same car to pass multiple times, the agitation of the driver goes up. The safe thing to do, is for the bicycle to go ahead and pass on the right, stop at the light, then wait for the cars that already passed once to clear through the intersection before proceeding. At least that's what I try to do when I cycle to work (i.e., not treat the cars as enemies, but to be empathetic). And if I happen to be on a road with a lot of traffic, I'll periodically hit the gravel for a bit for cars to get around me if there is oncoming traffic.
Sure. I'd love one!

Does this work for only gmail or does it work with exchange?
In my limited use of both, Google is better at voice recognition. I'm not sure why they haven't built a true siri competitor.
App store revenue is not really relevant to Apple or Google - it's small as a proportion of either company. It is, though, relevant to developers - partly for its own value, but as importantly for what it tells you about the users. That is, it's a proxy for overall willingness to spend on anything. Pretty much all ecommerce companies will tell you they see the same proportions, even if they're not using iTunes or Google payments directly.

That's short-term balance-sheet thinking. Which isn't a terrible way to make business decisions, but it definitely isn't the kind of thing that builds long-term consumer trust. There's a reason that Apple has tight supplier relationships and even makes a lot of their own chips: having committed to long-term value delivery, they work backward to make sure they can do that efficiently.
Yup. More related info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brand#History
Apple needs to publish SunSpider Javascript and other real world browser benchmarks. The new A8 is going to be much faster than a 2.7 805 in the Note 4. The iPhone is actually a great deal when you consider performance.

For #3 the reverse is also true. If Omega 3s do anything to prevent heart disease, it's too late to help if you start gobbling fish-oil once you've got heart disease - study demonstrated no improvement in outcomes for that.
Interesting read. I've always found Gala and Fuji too soft and lacking the crispness of a Red Delicious. I have never been able to stand them. I can't abide non-crisp apples.

I find the best apple for crispness and taste is the Cameo, followed by Granny Smithes. Red Deliciouses still hold 3rd place when it come apple taste and crispness for me.
right, but - is a linux distribution not an operating system? ever?
Not quite zero, there are some speed bumps that I notice in NYC where the bouncing motion of the bikes has worn additional bumps in the speed bump.

Of course, you don't really need the speed bumps in the bike lane. I assume it's there because people will drive around it if it doesn't cover the entire road surface. (Protected bike lanes would fix that, but I'm not really a protected bike lane proponent, so we'll pretend I didn't mention that.)
They are great apples, but they're also about 3x as expensive as Red Delicious apples (at least where I am in the US).
"We" talk plenty about it (everyone from phd friends to the NYT), but it's not actually terribly well understood yet, and nearly impossible to diagnose at the individual level. I'm pretty sure there aren't even solid guidelines yet like if X reaction then eat Y [yogurt|notyogurt|whatever].

The soylent community is pretty clear on the point this impatient guy is asking about: yes, the problem that arises when you had shitty nutrition before goes away inside a week or two, and just eat some Beano in the mean time. Haven't seen anyone who has presented evidence otherwise.

For me personally, there was zero issue; I had lots of fiber before, and soylent doesn't make me gassy at all.
On mobile I dislike all of the kinematics. If you're composing a message and scroll up to quickly reread something, the keyboard will fly off the screen; getting it back requires tapping on a text box ...but now the keyboard is _covering_ part of the message you need to read; got to scroll back up---damn lost that keyboard again.

There's also no way to 1) hide people's avatars: I really don't need 20 visual reminders (one for each message they've sent) of who I'm chatting to; I don't even need 1! 2) hide the emoticon selector: who uses this rubbish? 3) adjust the "people you hangout with": there are 6 tiles of faces (most of them rigmarole-distributing frequent emailers who suck) and the 6 same people are repeated in a list of 10 "people you hangout with"---the 6 same people are repeated in a list of 10 "people you hangout with".

Yes, I've seen Reservoir Dogs too. Without engaging the extremely shopworn discussion about how much tipping is appropriate, the fact remains that if you choose, you can tip a waiter nothing. It may be a dick move, but you can do it.

You can't "tip" an Uber driver nothing. It doesn't matter how bad your service was. It doesn't matter how much you don't care about being labeled a dick. You just can't do it.

Because the Uber thing is not, in fact, a tip.
