Aspirin indeed often has a blood-thinning effect. As such it may help reduce the risk of blood clots. That's the best case scenario, and even then it merely treats the symptoms, not the root cause of blood clots.

Blood clots and cerebral hemorrhage are the two sides of the coin. By popping an aspirin you shift the odds from blood clots to hemorrhage.

If I had to choose one of them, I'd take the blood clot.
Traditionally, they use ullage motors, right? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ullage_motor).

Perhaps they could dock with it a little harder than is strictly necessary or use a maneuvering thruster burn.

It seems like it'd be easier to use non-cryogenic fuels (hypergolics, or kerosene + LO2) which may make the piston idea workable. How do they keep cryogenic fuels cool in space in the long term? good insulation and vent a little of it off regularly?
For my book on full stack JavaScript, I was looking into a small website for a cinema, which could be extended to hotels/rooms possibly. In fact, Airbnb has open-sourced their Rendr stack, which might give a nice foundation for your project too. An overview on my book is here: http://pipefishbook.com/references

Every time anyone (inside Norway or outside) discuss our prisons, they feel they have to mention that the cells have flat-screen TVs.

Well, duh, of course they do. A simple flat-screen TV is the easiest and cheapest to order, service and replace.

>The role of game mechanics should not be the oppressive tyrant telling you to fetch and grind and be thankful for your crumbs of XP and DPS as the scenery blazes past.

That's generally not true at all. It may seem that way, but level systems are similar to a proof of work scheme. Player puts in some time and receives some fair reward for his time. Level systems are a way to facilitate this transaction without invoking pay2win overtones.
I'm a Chinese software developer. In China, VPN or other proxy tools are essential for anyone who need look up serious technical materials online. We call it "翻墙"(Go Over the Wall), which is a basic skill.

And about the reason why these sites are blocked: just BECAUSE THEY CAN! (They even blocked github for mysterious purpose once!) There is no public rule/law/principle to tell us why a foreign site is blocked. The just kill sites silently and pretend nobody cares.

Fortunately enough, HackNews has not been blocked, yet.

The belief that there are biological differences between ethnic populations is on its face obviously true, unless one were to postulate that skin colour is not a genetic trait.

As such it becomes at best disingenuous to interpret the fact that he called Rushton a blatant racist as implying merely a belief in biological differences in general.

Further he did not say it is wrong. He said he can't take the study seriously when coming from a blatant racist. Presumably because he does not trust that Rushton is able to put aside that bias and treat the subject seriously and honestly. While one can try to let the work stand on its own, the problem with that if you don't trust the intentions of the researcher is that it is tremendously easy to fudge data, or be selective with your data, to get whatever result you want.

That is a pretty cynical view.

Do you think that was the idea when levels were added to classic pen and paper RPGs like D&D?

Levels are a way to give players choices about how their character develops over time. The choices they picked as their character levels up make up part of the story of their character that makes it uniquely yours.

This is why I hate easy respec mechanics that a lot of modern RPGs have. When you respec your character you destroy it's story. Your level 60 paladin is now the same as anyone elses level 60 paladin. A blank slate divorced from your personality. You have broken the illusion that even the very term Role Playing Game was intended to be about.

In the game I work on, Path of Exile, we have specifically made respec something that has a cost. The more you want to change your character the more costly it becomes. Changing your character then becomes part of the story of how it was created.

Why not now? One thing that I love about Firefox is its address bar implementation -- I find it so much better for finding old sites that I've visited before than other browsers. Just type one or more fragments of the URL and/or page title and 99% of the time it's right there in the suggestions. Incredibly helpful for finding bugs in Bugzilla, among other things. With Safari and Chrome I find it's never as smooth or easy.

You can import bookmarks and history from Chrome into Firefox. I'm not sure if it'll offer to do that automatically; if not, follow the instructions at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/import-bookmarks-google....

And don't forget the add-ons. As well as the well-known ones like AdBlock Plus, I recommend "Tree Style Tabs", which makes organising large numbers of tabs much easier, and "It's All Text", which lets you user the editor of your choice to edit any textbox in a web page. See https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ for these add-ons and more.

One tip: if you have an old Firefox profile hanging around, you should definitely reset it: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fi.... This can fix various problems that old profiles are prone to having.

Finally, it might be a good time to read (or re-read) Mozilla's Manifesto: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/manifesto/. It's good stuff.
You can enable it in Aurora, but so far I've found way too much things to be broken for it to be useful.

Especially things like cookie-handling not working 100% and breaking login on lots of sites (like reddit, google, etc) makes enabling it a no-go, or at least did when I tried it a few weeks ago.
Norway is flush with oil money. But it is not THAT expensive. Their prisons are about 6x more expensive compared to US prisons. If US would reduce their prison population to reasonable levels, you would have the same standard easily.

Norway:

> The cost of maintaining prisoners at Halden costs about $500 per inmate per night. ($500*365 = $185 000 per year)

http://theweek.com/article/index/228229/the-jail-where-every...

US:

> The average inmate in minimum-security federal prison costs $21,000 each year. The average inmate in maximum-security federal prisons costs $33,000 each year.

The Why, How and What of UX Research – Part 2
I think you misunderstand the point of MDMA in therapy, it doesn't need to distinguish between "bad" or "good" memories, you do that. The substance simply serves to ensure that you can begin to introspect on those experiences that you might otherwise recoil from, or that might otherwise cause you to sink deeper. Think of it as a person or maybe a place of total benevolence and safety in all respects, within which nothing can hurt you and everything nurtures you. From that place you can begin to heal yourself.

Let me re-iterate that, you do the healing. The substance just provides the ideal setting.

ad 1) I even have this in my LinkedIn profile

ad 2) you're right... maybe it's because I used to be a PM and I still perceive this position as more prestigious

ad 3 and 4 and generally) you are right that I have non-technical knowledge and I can apply it with success, but the two main problems here for me are is that

a) finding projects as a 'software developer' or 'software engineer' is much easier (although finding new leads is the hardest part for me at all)

b) I cannot market myself both as a 'just a developer' and 'top notch consultant' at the same time, and because of a) I have to keep the 'developer' profile

basically finding new leads is the worst part for me. I could be a 'consultant' and manage or cover myself most of such a project areas, but finding such consultanty gigs is tricky for me.

anyone has an advice on finding such projects? frankly 99% of mine come from referrals and sometimes I found some accidentally on Twitter. cold emails, responding to job offers etc never works for me.

how about you, @hopeless, what is it you're doing right now and how does it work for you?

I'll codepen it sometime, as things should be clean to demo specific structure approaches. The corporate clutter that sits on top and within the pages I make may confuse analysis of the core point I'm getting at.

Besides, the website look and feel and even the way it responds is only a fraction of the point. Maintenance, expandability, developer accessibility, technical debt, complexity, dependencies, workflow. All come into play when it comes time to meet the brief, which might come from someone with big visual curvy, crunchy ideas and lots of money.

I'm not trying to sell you something, duckmysick. I'm rationalising my technical method which doesn't involve grids - even if the designer has used one.

Can't tell if it's your hosting or my connection but many of the assets don't load first time. Makes the page look fairly awful. Took four refreshes to get the full thing.

In terms of marketing though, a feature demonstration on the front page would be a lot more helpful than just re-stating the same stuff over and over again. I get that it's "easy"... But what does that mean? Show me somebody creating a video with it. I can see that in the user guide but that's two clicks too far away for me.

Maybe I play games differently but I always try and go for the optimal set up (the min/max)(even if it involves looking it up on the internet).

So theoretically, assuming players are somewhat rational. Then they'd always go for the optimal set up and most RPG players will end up converging onto the same optimal stats anyway.

This is where level systems shine, they can make the path to the optimal set up extremely painful, but players will still grind for it, since it's the optimal (and players like to be optimal).
Little point in leaving stuff there I suppose. It will just rust away further over the next hundreds of years. Better to concentrate resources in a few of them.
It wouldn't cost 6x as much to have Norwegian standard prisons in the US because prices/salaries are quite a bit lower. Also, the fact that the US if effing huge would mean that economies of scale would bring down the price even further.

On the other hand - widespread poverty to an extent that is completely unknown in Norway - would mean that US prisons can't be too nice, or they would be more attractive than life on the outside. (I don't know if this concern is a real problem, but it's worth mention it)

The benefit is that you don't have to connect to your webhost over FTP and change files, instead you could just open your file from your dropbox edit it and be done with it. And to create a website all you need to do is create a folder and put your html into it.

I would love to hear about features which might make you consider this service.
I don't throw it in people's faces, but equally don't attempt to hide it. I was very self-conscious about it years ago, but clients have by-and-large responded very positively to it.

My favorite way for massaging the issue is: "Yep, at present I'm the only person working on this full-time. There are plusses and minuses to this. For example, we can't offer round-the-clock phone support standard with our plans. That's a minus. On the plus side, any time you have a problem, it gets dealt with by me, who built the software and has all necessary authority to fix your problem, rather than somebody reading from a script in a call center somewhere. Your call on who you want to rely on when it's something critical to your business." (I stole this line from Jason Cohen and oh boy does it work.)

I would encourage you, if you deal with larger companies, to be able to walk the professionalism walk while you're talking the professionalism talk. When I started by business ~8 years ago I was a kid with a web app. These days, I might think of myself like that, but when I'm talking to the IT department at a hospital words like "designated HIPAA compliance officer" and "errors & omissions insurance policy" and "LLC" come up a lot.

> more attractive than life on the outside.

Norway and Sweden have cold winters and warm prisons. It is somewhat common for clever bums to commit crimes (theft, burglary) in the fall that they know will give them a 4-6 month prison sentence. This is perfect timing to get to spend the winter in a warm prison with hot showers and a gym, and then get released just in time when the weather is good enough to sleep outdoors again.

The world is getting very squirrely. I feel like when we are talking about privacy, security, rights and such we are awkwardly working with metaphors that are struggling to maintain a logical relationship with the world as it is now and as it will be going forward.

Realistically, a great part of my conversations and hence and great part of my thoughts are digital, therefore aggregated, analyzed, stored, distributed, vulnerable and everything else that comes with digital information.

The spies, the cops, the criminals, the banks, the entrepreneurs are all treating it as a resources they can tap into.
Yes. My objection though was that in reality, in the overwhelming majority of cases, it's the wife, not the husband, who gives up her autonomy for "no good reason".
The naïveté in the articles was a surprise to me. If Orin Kerr, professor of law and scholar in internet crime and surveillance, is enlightened* by the suggestion "If Apple can decrypt, so can others", how much would the average lawmaker or judge know?

The ugly is there's always the possibility of falsely accusing people. Is there any way for the ADA to show itself unaffected other than getting rid of sponsorship, and of it does, would the result be worse for those with diabetes?

I find it easier to believe that a diabetes researcher whose parents have diabetes is less likely to be concerned about the profit/loss statement of a sponsoring company and more concerned about the parents.

I also find it harder than you to believe there is consistent capture across all research organizations in the world. I agree that the USDA food guide is incorrectly and unduly influenced by money and politics. But that's not the only food guide in the world and the US isn't the only research system.

Other countries also have different economic goals that the US system. If a country has a single-payer national health care, and fund health research, then it's more likely to fund research in ways to reduce its health care payments.

While I agree that pharma money can and does buy influence, especially when things are ambiguous, I think that big inconsistencies across different health care and research systems is hard to pull off. I also think orthodoxy is hard to enforce in the way you suggest, especially since there's a long practice of unorthodox publications becoming part of the new orthodoxy, even to the point of winning the Nobel Prize.

Regarding diet, the diabetes literature is vast and I know very little of it. I know that those with diabetes are told to stop eating as much sugar. I'm surprised to hear that the opposite - eating more sugar - is the better diet. It's more likely that I don't understand your point.

In a cursory review (I read care.diabetesjournals.org/content/34/1/14.full ) it seems that:

> Observational studies have also shown that diets rich in vegetables and low in red meat and whole-fat dairy products are associated with a decreased risk of diabetes, whereas dietary patterns rich in red meats, processed foods, refined grains, and sweets increase diabetes risk

> Recently, a clinical trial showed that, compared with a low-fat diet, a MedDiet allowed better glycemic control and delayed the need for antidiabetes drug treatment in patients with newly diagnosed diabetes (11). However, the role of the MedDiet in the prevention of diabetes has not been tested in a clinical trial.

Which safe dietary interventions studies are you talking about? How are they different from, say, the CDC recommendations?
I couldn't stand Basic even back then, and moved to assembler shortly after. I have various magazines to thank for that, as they started explaining (hex dump included!) how demos and intros by big European groups were made (scrolls, raster effects, tricking hardware to do the "impossible", etc.). It blew my 13yo mind, so much that for a long time (even after I moved to Atari ST and then PC) I considered assembler the Only True Way.

It's a good idea to host user-uploaded files on a completely separate domain, since older browsers are terrible at security: http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2012/08/content-hos...

For example, it's possible to construct a perfectly valid image file, served with the correct image/gif MIME type that contains malicious a Javascript payload, and older versions of Internet Explorer might still execute that Javascript. If it is served from your web apps main domain or a subdomain, then this Javascript can access users' sessions.
