Enjoyed reading this Andrew, thanks for sharing. Email headed your way shortly!
this sounds like a very typical (and incredibly flawed) HAES (health at every size) argument - "so what if i eat all that bad crap and am obese? i can run more miles than you so that means i must be fitter and healthier than you!"

i'm not sure if i'm interpreting this correctly, but it sounds like you essentially admitted that you're really fat, despite being active. while i agree that the BMI system is very flawed especially when it comes to measuring the health and fitness level of active people, but for the typical non-active keyboard warrior (which statistically HN would probably have a very high percentage of relative to the whole userbase), the BMI is a decent gauge of health.

simply put, what i'm saying is, unless you're telling me you're in fact a massive 250-lb muscle-bound beast, the BMI reading is probably quite accurate that you're overweight and not healthy at all.

you can convolute the argument as much as you want, dropping names and terms like "critical thinking" and "Feynman" etc, but ultimately there is no denying the reality that is your body.

The Rise of Anti-Social A.k.a Private Networks
Perhaps more disturbing than the author's inability to understand a simple procedure in a third-grade math text is his attempt to cast Common Core as part of an overarching conspiracy of corporations and (of course) government to turn our little ones into docile robots. This is what a nut case looks like.
Which is your preferred Private Social Network? Any particular reason for you to use it?
Congratulations for launching, but maybe you can rise the prices a little bit. You are providing a lot of value for business owners. BTW you had "gurantee" in the pricing section.

Shameless plug: I launched today a similar product for Paymill, http://rhinometrics.io
62 and 63 are often viewed as ideal temperatures (for some definition of ideal), but yes one needs to accept some runniness of the whites.

Over at the Food Lab, Kenji did some research - via mixing methods you can manage to set the outer white at those temperatures and not just the inner white:
http://www.seriouseats.com/2013/10/sous-vide-101-all-about-e...

Personally I normally cook mine to 63, and yes the white can sometimes not be perfectly set. As with everything there is some unit to unit variation.
Hi am kind of in same boat, we are planing to agree to sell our product under their brand, but no way we will give/show our source or explain how stuff works.

Agreed on delay, these things are very time consuming.
We are kind of in same position, however we will not show source or go technical detail, they can evaluate us as team and sell our product under their brand

"Second language" language use by population

I personally considered the same question, except that I wanted to know second language by location.

I am from the US and speak four languages. I wanted to know if I traveled, where in the globe would be most difficult with English/Spanish as a first or second language.

I don't care who did what but the CEO of a company should not be making public statements like this, especially in a forum the likes of reddit.

I wonder what the effects are of buying a luxury car cheaply. Surely at least some portion of buyers are buying it because it's cool to have a Tesla. I guess it matters how big a portion.
I think you didn't exactly read the answer? Humans can survive on much any diet, and the differences between them are mostly insignificant, certainly as it pertains to criteria that apply to people sitting most of the day doing mental work.
As an aside, since Mailgun was bought by Rackspace, customer service, reliability, and their ability to fix issues quickly has seemingly taken a huge hit.

I couldn't have been happier with Mailgun a year or so ago. Currently, I have a bug filed and reported to them that impacts our business (as well as many others I'm sure), that has been outstanding since July. They still haven't acknowledged it - and all I get is stock responses linking to their broken documentation

Can anyone reccomend any alternatives? When we set up OpenRent in 2012, Mailgun was the best. Now I'm much less convinced - any feasible alternatives would be much appreciated.

Which programmer would you rather hire: the one who memorized a particular algorithm but has no idea how it works, or someone who can develop it from first principles and enlightened judgment?

There's no strong reason to glorify one particular subtraction algorithm over another, especially since the actual use case for it is relatively rare.

It always makes me smile when guys like J.C.R. Licklider, Douglas Engelbart, William Ross Ashby, Herbert Simon, Alan Newell, Terry Winograd, etc., show up here. These guys were (or are) so far ahead of their time. It might seem strange to think that there's a lot to be learned from reading material from the 60's, but I'm convinced there is.

I'm personally convinced that we aren't even close to fully realizing Engelbart's vision in particular. I think anyone involved in the technology industry would be well served to read up on his writings - as well as catching up on the other writers/thinkers mentioned above.
What it usually is is political cover for local elites to betray their populations; remove barriers to capital flow and trade, gut environmental and labor protections.
It reads to me like when he was let go, he might not have been given the clearest of communication as to the nature termination. I've been fired before, and I've been laid off. It was unambiguous in both cases.

That's not to say he wasn't clearly fired, and isn't dancing around that fact, but based on the available information, the broader internet bystander community doesn't have sufficient information to tell which story is true.
I got once a copyright claim on behalf of Antonio Vivaldi, at first I was like "WHAT??? You can't be serious, who the •••• owns Vivaldi's copyright?!?!?!"

But the record label that issued the claim answered promptly to my counterclaim and the video was restored in 24 hours.

My supposition is that record labels upload thousands of songs to the Content ID system without checking them first, and they correct the copyright status of songs with the counterclaims they receive.

What is true is that the troll's message will not appear in the list's archive. (That's how I became aware that one person was actually a troll; I went to the archive, and, huh? This guy is not there! And neither are my replies to that guy. What the .... Then it immediately dawned on me!)

But, yes, trolls will be replied to. Because, remember, they are not even going through the mailing list robot. They are just sending mail. Of course the troll's mails can be replied to and go back to that person, and to everyone on the CC list that he or she put in.

Not only that, but the troll can include the list address on the CC: line! A reply to the troll will include quoted material from the troll (typically), and since the person responding is a valid subscriber who is allowed to post, that quoted material gets to the list.

So all the list subscribers end up seeing:

Listen to this guy. Also read "Getting to Yes", the dealmaking 101 book

Another tip. If there's money on the table TAKE IT. $BIGCORP wants to buy it for $SUM which will leave you with 6 or even maybe 7 digits in your pocket? Evaluate the deal with your lawyer, then sign on the line.
While per capita GDP is a useful number that reveals some information about the economics of a country relative to the world stage, I may be alone in finding that its often misleading - particularly when we're talking about what life is like for the common man.

In those cases, I tend to find that things like: The Big Mac Index [1]; the more general World Price Index (a standardized basket of goods) [2]; or the even more general Purchasing Power Parity [3]; are better reflective of the human scale question, which IMO is "for a common wage, what can be purchased, and how expensive is it."

Basically, its great if our per capita GDP is 2x someone else, if our local prices are also 2x, then our actual wage goes roughly the same distance. Another way is: if I had the equivalent of a $1M in Cuba, went to Mexico, and exchanged it with no fee, how would my relative purchasing power change.

Major Caveat: Findings for PPP are heavily dependent on your reference basket of goods.

I don't think you can summarize without first interpreting.
Nothing else we regularly eat is an any-meal replacement. They're all imbalanced. So if Soylent wants to be able to replace any meal it should be balanced enough to replace them all. That's what I meant.
No company actually says "You are fired."
Thank you, and congratulations for launching Rhinometrics. Regarding prices - you're the second person pointing that out, maybe I should really think about it :-) (+ I'll fix the typo - thanks)
I assume it must be the same school, but a undergrad friend and roommate was a pre-med and came from a very interesting family. His family was all about immigration in the US, and was very tight with the Latin American community where they lived (he even grew up for a period in Mexico, and spoke perfect Mexican Spanish, as was his American father who raised him there).

He clued me into the existence of full-ride scholarships for Americans to study in medicine. American students with a full medical education in Cuba! I was very impressed. I guess it is this.

http://www.ifconews.org/node/707

This kid was amazing and very altruistic. However, he pulled his application bc of the sad reality of US medicine; he was told point blank by some med school mentors he would never practice medicine in the US with that degree, and it was pointless as he would likely redo all of his medical education and required certification/boards stateside lest he have any intention of ever practicing medicine in the States.

I am still glad, despite all the fucked up political harassment by the USG, this scholarship remains.
Great tutorial. Good overall guide vs. many I have read that go over most of the basic Angular starter points.

I have a question about the syntax you are using for factories and services. I notice you use Pascal Case for your objects vs. Camel Case as in the AngularJS docs... I like to use best practices and have seen both so I am not sure which is kosher in the community. Is that something that is changing?

I noticed you define it as a function first then reference it in the constructor. I understand what you are doing but again the examples I have seen do it differently so I am confused as to which way to do it and the "why".

My point never was that an e-mail message is a mailing list.

What is a mailing list? It is an "emergent phenomenon"(+). It is not just the mailing list manager; it is not just the handling of a single message. It's not the set of subscribers. It's the whole situation.

Sure the guy did some stupid things but who knows what his life is like and we're all human and do stupid things. The CEO's reaction was simply insensitive. Here's what the CEO should have done: have their lawyers draft a polite letter showing that they're serious about having him shut up. When he doesn't, ask your lawyers to take the next step.

His comments were temporarily mildly irritating to the company at best and would be forgotten within a few weeks (same goes for his reply). There's too many memes going around for anyone to remember stupid AMA posts.

My takeaway? If hiring this guy, then I'd judge him on his own merits. Otherwise, I'll avoid applying to Reddit for some time. I just hate those hard-ass get your shit done kinds of environments.
But if the list is set up differently you can get it so people don't use reply all by default, and even better they can tell at a glance if a mail came from the list or not.
YouTube does it this way because their "content partners" want it this way. If YouTube did only what they were legally required to do, namely removing content when receiving a notification and restoring it with a counter-notification, then they'd be legally in the clear, but the partners currently making extensive use of their Content ID system would complain bitterly or leave. (Or sue; see the ridiculous Viacom lawsuit for example.)
> The connection between saturated fat and coronary heart disease has had a lot of legitimate doubt cast upon it

So has the belief that all fat is all good for you, to put it lightly. Human nutrition is a lot more complex than that. Unless you like experimenting with yourself for the sake of it, go with a balanced diet.
Ever heard of Vimeo? They are great. Higher quality. Better content. More control over your video content. Less BS copyright crap to work through.
You had to spend a lot on them because they are wide, which is because the 911 is a high-performance car. It would have been the same with any Corvette, Camaro, or Charger.

Complaining about expensive tires on a fast sports car is like complaining about the poor battery life on your 19" 4GHz laptop with discrete graphics.
Nope, not reduced a bit. Only your last 6 bullets were even semi-relevant (but still snarky) as the rest were mostly semantic nitpicking.

FWIW, "Childish" and "unprofessional" can arguably be used interchangeably in this case since they both present the concept of acting in contrast to the social norm of the group (adults & professionals), though their dictionary definitions are far from synonyms.

Make sure you keep backups of anything you upload [...]

Truncating this makes it even better advice: you never have enough knowledge or control to solely trust any valuable data or content to a service provider. Technology failures, business failures, legal failures, etc., etc. All of these can strike without warning. Keep at least three copies (e.g. a master and two backups) of anything you really care about. An online provider only ever counts as one of those copies, no matter their marketing claims.

In none of those statements do I read them saying you should replace all food with Soylent. The first quote is simply setting the tone for a future where that could be a possibility. I don't doubt this would help people with acid reflux and other similar symptoms. Soylent has freed me from shopping trips and expensive lunches. Soylent does take years to spoil.

I didn't mean to turn this into a discussion about evolutionary linguistics, taxonomy or nomenclature, and i wasn't positing any conspiracy theories...

my point is that when you think about 'bacon', what is salient are only qualities related to it qua food -- that is to say, how it tastes, how nutritious it is, what to eat it with, etc.

bacon denotes only the food. but of course the fact that bacon is also an animal is relevant. i would argue, that is much more important than the qualities of it as food.

so here is the distinction with wheat: if i ground you up and put you on a bun, technically that would be a 'burger'. but there is something more we want to say about it -- sure its a 'burger', but it was also shog9!!! so in that sense, it seems like a trick to call the ground up shog9 merely a burger instead of 'ground up shog9 on a bun'. i feel this way about the entire meat industry.
So where does it fit?
In fact I've heard BMW commercials that tout their cars' ability to retain resale value better than anyone else.

Well except that this article has nothing to do about technology or disruption ( that is a recognised business model used as noted by the article Tesla direct competitors ), and indirectly about Musk.

That is so banal, AFAIK almost all brand have some sort of certified second hand channel, that I don't even know what sort of on-topic discussion it is supposed to bring.

The article itself has nothing else to offer either - no idea on the pricing or what happens to your access to the supercharger network with a second hand Tesla.

Electric cars have far fewer moving parts than gasoline cars. Electric motors are also more or less bomb-proof, they rev to a high enough range that gears aren't needed, so pretty much the only thing that can go wrong on a Tesla is the battery/electric system.

And of course the usual tire/brake maintenance...
