You might want to ask yourself why you are working so much. That is a lot of time that you could be spending on yourself and your family. Is it really necessary to work that much? Does your employer really require that or are you enabling them to take advantage of you at the cost of your health?

If magically somehow tomorrow every illegal download came with a bill for 250$ for each infraction at the end of the month things would change and more people would move back to legal purchasing. People are cheap and if they can take something for free without consequence they are going to do so.
I paid $11 for my drip coffee maker, in the local branch of a national chain grocery. I've had it for two years. It makes one to twelve cups of any kind of coffee you care to put in there, from $5 store brand to dont-even-ask café whose beans were grown on a free-trade farm in Guatemala under the supervision of the executive committee of Juan Valdez' estate's charitable trust and staffed by former independent coffee growing peasants who play guitar at night and wear neckerchiefs, and irrigated with water collected from jaguar kittens kept at a constant but humane level of annoyance.

It has never complained to me about anything.
Exactly. The above comment could be just as easily applied to a penalty shootout in soccer.
> On the internet, however, mocking someone's weakest argument is fair game

Not on Hacker News it isn't. We want people to apply the Principle of Charity and respond to the strongest reasonable interpretation of what each other is saying [1]. Alternatively,

A comment in reply to another comment should be written in the spirit of colleagues cooperating in good faith to figure out the truth about something, not politicians trying to ridicule and misrepresent the other side. [2]

It increasingly seems to me that we should add these principles to the site guidelines, though they're arguably derivable from them.

It's true that when people seem (and/or are) hopelessly wrong and misguided, and no one else seems (and/or is) respecting these principles, there's a great temptation to say "fuck it" and let loose with snark. But that needs to be resisted. The community depends on you and other established users to set good examples. Otherwise how can we tell new users that they can't do the same—or rather, do worse, since these things always get worse?

There's lots of math you can teach that isn't basic numbers though!

Symmetries, commutativity, associativity, transitivity, basic algebra/equation solving, some geometry, etc.

Teaching these ideas gives children a language to describe the world they're in and make sense of the ideas and concepts that bombard them - they're perhaps even more useful than numbers in this regard. The problem is that most elementary teachers aren't up to explaining these more advanced math concepts (lots of them have trouble with advanced middle school level math), and instead focus on just basic arithmetic.

This does a huge disservice to our children, because kids soak these topics up when well explained, and seem to really enjoy the learning (which is often hands on). I spent a fair bit of time in university (where I studied math) volunteering along with a professor to teach lectures to young children (1st-4th grade in the US) about math.

I honestly wish we could just accept that mathematics is as much of a specialized language/topic as foreign languages, and get specialist teachers starting early on.
An old coworker tipped me off to the Bunn STX 10 cup maker that was $150 or so, I bought one, and ended up buying my parents one too. Makes an entire (great tasting) pot of coffee in 3 minutes, and thermal carafe keeps it warm for hours without burning it, some of the best money I've ever spent. If you drink a lot of coffee, it's hard to beat the cost effectiveness and convenience over time.

I can't understand the current fascination with single cup makers, but I grew up in a family that went through several pots a day at home. Perhaps as a starbucks replacement the economics work out.

1) Keurig makes terrible coffee why would you ever want to use one?
2) that is all.
Pretty simple, actually!! This model (B31) contains:

- 12VDC air pump to push water from tank into coffee pod

- 10K thermistor, stuck in the tank

- 1400 Watt heating element

I wired all three to the Arduino through a transistor for the pump, a resistor divider to use analogRead() and calculate temperature, and a mechanical relay.

The Arduino uses 4 buttons: heating element toggle, temperature up/down, and pump engage. I didn't bother with the water sense non-sense Keurig uses (to know if water is in the tank or reservoir), so it pretty much checks temperature and if it is low engages the relay. When it's done I then hit the button to dump the water through the coffee (so it's not as automated as Keurig, but better than buying a new one). Code is here:

Whatever the answer is, I'm sure it doesn't require ignoring or downplaying the impact of people who are abusing the system in ways that are completely unjustifiable and contrary to the public interest. Fixing the problems requires being able to talk honestly and openly about who and what the problems are, unconstrained by concerns for their feelings or PR efforts. Using bad-sounding labels for bad things shouldn't be discouraged.

> In digital content, "the fold" has its own meaning

Does it? I suppose it could mean "outside the first screen", as in on the next "card" in a mobile "slide deck", or "below the scroll" in a browser (that is: content that is on the virtual page, but outside the viewport).

But my impression is that people are not using it like that -- in which case "the fold" is probably a poor/wrong metaphor/term?

> This is one of many digital design that are inspired by terms from print, like "page" (which also is inappropriate for digital if you take the print meaning literally.)

Not really. In (magazine/newspaper) print, a page typically holds various assorted content. Especially so for the front page. Now, with scrolling, "page" will often mean "all of a document at a given URL" -- and that would typically be different from a print page. In that case "viewport" would be more appropriate. But I think the confusion really lies in the print world: "page" means both "what the user can see at any one time" (viewport) and "largest section of connected layout" (the physical page).

> And, anyway, laptop users do fold their computers in half, but that's a completely different thing.

But mobile users did, at least for a while. There were/are some phones with a small screen on the back of the "flip". AFAIK all of these only have enough real-estate for a small icon and simple scrolling text message though. And aren't really meant for showing a preview of some random web page, but rather to alert the user to incomming email etc.
Really cool idea.

TL;DR: There are two sides of the bell curve, and you can improve your average performance both by increasing the right side of the bell curve (improving your best performances), or decreasing the left side of the curve (minimizing your worst performances).
I love my Aeropress, but an arguably even simpler option is something like the Hario V60 (http://www.amazon.com/Hario-V60/dp/B000P4D5HG/). $19, and no plastic if that matters to you. I think the filters probably cost you a bit more than the Aeropress.

How to Convert 2D Blu-ray to M2TS 3D Video
It's a frap!
If you search my post history, you can see I mentioned the cold room three times, besides the original mention.

One was in a hyperbolic rhetorical context, to exaggerate the distinction with killing someone, which we consider acceptable in war:

> So you're saying we shouldn't engage in torture because it's "bad"? It's okay to blow these same people up in the battlefield, but god forbid we throw water on them and put them in a slightly cold room?

One was self-referential:

> I'd be pretty happy if HN could muster the same uniform moral outrage about rape jokes involving non-terrorists (e.g. gamergate) as it has shown in response to my comment about terrorists being cold.

One was in response to 'reitanqild saying: "Most of us would much rather prefer to be shot dead or blown up in a split second than being even slightly tortured and locked up indefinitely."

> Throwing water on someone and leaving them in a 59-degree room is worse than shooting them dead? Keeping someone awake until they hallucinate is worse than shooting them dead? Really?

The cold room and the sleep deprivation were in response to the "slightly tortured" part of that comment.

At no point did I ever try to make the argument that "what the CIA did wasn't so bad because they just put people in cold rooms." I actually have no interest in trying to convince anyone that what the CIA did wasn't bad. This is not an issue that people are going to approach rationally. It's about gut-feelings--either you have a visceral reaction to these interrogation techniques or you don't.

You said elsewhere: "I don't think torture is ever justified, under any circumstances. No exceptions."

Well I strongly disagree. If it would actually save innocent lives,[1] I'd have absolutely no qualms about any number of Al Qaeda terrorists being tortured. It's an unspeakably evil organization, promulgating ideologies that are at their best barbaric and backward. I think even the people that are receptive to their message and associate themselves with the organization, even if they do nothing more, are morally culpable.

And I imagine polls will show about half the country or more agreeing with me: http://mic.com/articles/106084/two-charts-show-why-the-cia-s.... Now of course the majority of people can be on the wrong side of history, but I don't think this is one of those situations.

[1] I've noted elsewhere that I don't think the techniques are effective and that we shouldn't be engaging in them for that reason.
> So replacing a specific library has to wait until the next complete push of Android.

I know for a fact (because I've created my own ROM) that Android's OTA system is fully capable of updating single components. And the update the user downloads is not the entire ~200mb Android ROM, it could be a small 1mb zip file that only updates a specific library. For example a security release updating only OpenSSL.

Why Google doesn't do this and prefers using a point release system - instead of rolling releases - is a complicated question. One that I'd be curious to hear the reasoning for.

One UX consideration is that the users need to reboot their phone since the OTA update writes to the /boot partition and then triggers a reboot into recovery mode. Then recovery mode will automatically install the new update (preserving all user data) then boots back into the OS. This would be annoying to users if they had to do it often.

But the same behavior exists for any OS updates on OSX, linux, etc.
It's very likely that those are very much outliers in the US, IMO.

I think that both you and chez17 are listing factors that contributed to the decline of SC2. Design errors made by Blizzard cannot be dismissed.

Idra leaving the game because he hated it. Sea lasting about a week on Liquid before going back to play BW. Naniwa being forced by Alliance to play at IEM despite not having practiced for months due to Swarm Host infestation of EU ladder. Artosis pitching Starbow to prominent eSports organizations. Not to mention never ending community complaints about Protoss design. These are not signs of a beautiful game.

With Legacy of the Void alpha reveal Blizzard themselves have addressed many of existing design concerns. Breakable force fields, Swarm Host redesign, warp-in nerf, powerful defensive Zerg unit and even major economy adjustments.

You are correct, SC2 will never surpass MOBAs, but it can do much better than it is doing now.

So simple to bypass, I expect they didn't spend much effort or money at all. They aren't trying to make an unbreakable system, they're trying to make a deterrent. If they had made the detection method too complicated, it could lead to false rejections and that would ultimately be more costly. They just needed a method that they can prove in court that a third party is using to defeat their DRM. This is the equivalent to ROT-13 encryption.
The great circle air route between Chinese manufacturing hubs and SFO passes quite close to Anchorage. Not sure why they stop there--refueling isn't necessarily needed so it's probably a hub to offload some cargo for points further east. Going up through Russia and under the Bering Strait would actually go quite a ways north of that route all other considerations aside.

Well balanced in street fighter terms comes down to the saturation of tiers, and how diverse top level play can be. Every fighting game has a high tier, no matter how well balanced they try to make it. The interesting part is how tiers evolve over the lifetime of a game. New tactics are discovered, strengths and weaknesses shift and the game moves on.

There are a lot of factors that come into tournament play beyond inherent tiers. Matchup experience, fatigue, ego, execution percentage, mind games. It's a far more interesting world than it may seem at first glance.
