If various articles I've seen on the topic are to be believed, eggs from pastured hens don't just look and taste different—they're far more nutritious than the rest[1]. I forget which nutrient (and I'm not certain it's even one of the ones listed at that link) but IIRC there's one that's very difficult to come by in the recommended quantities unless you 1) eat lots of insects, or 2) eat eggs and/or meat from birds that eat lots of insects. As one might expect, it's almost completely absent from non-pastured eggs.

See also declining nutrient levels in produce generally[2]. I'm becoming increasingly convinced that our ultra-low food prices, especially the US, amount to a scam.

We've got year-round variety (shipped from hundreds to thousands of miles away), we've got quantity, our produce is colorful (though bland), and our food rarely makes us sick (very nice, to be sure), but if you seek out quality there go convenience (distant 1 day/week farmers' markets versus a dozen nearby supermarkets that operate 24/7) and low prices, plus you've got to remember all the labeling and advertising tricks of the sort mentioned in the article so you don't get screwed.

Before you exercise, make sure you are familiar with the Alternative Minimal Tax and how exercising Stock Options affect it. See https://www.wework.com/magazine/knowledge/startup-equity-und... and https://gigaom.com/2011/06/05/5-mistakes-you-cant-afford-to-... (especially the David Weekly at the bottom). Some people went bankrupt for that. Also check the rules on ISO (I supposed you have ISO options).

Then I think the best you can do is to sell the right to own the stocks when you will be able to sell them according to your stock plan. In practice you cannot sell the stock now but you can have a contract with a person that you will sell them as soon as you can. Or something like that...

On how to find somebody willing to buy them, I am not sure. Common stocks are considered almost worthless by a lot of investors. There are also some information about preference in round of funding etc, that a sophisticated investor would like to know but it is not always public knowledge outside of the board.

Before Facebook IPO I know SecondMarket was the place. I am actually curious about the options here.
Also, for France, Saint-Exupery's body of work will only enter the public domain in 2032. This is the result of a law that extends copyright in the special case when an author dies for their country.
Except that all works should be able to be built upon. Sherlock Holmes and Bilbo Baggins, Mickey Mouse and The Terminator, Atticus Finch and Charlie Bucket, every one is a cultural idea.

It isn't just abandoned works. All cultural works should eventually be available to build upon.

I agree with you and don't understand the downvotes. If I create something, it doesn't belong to society and I should have the right to own what I create and use it or not use it as I see fit. Let's take the anti-copyright argument to the extreme -- I challenge everyone opposed to copyrights to make your private github repos public. It is the exact same thing. Weak IP protection leads to decreased incentive for innovation. We could take it to another extreme and eliminate private real property rights as well. I like your house, it has been in my street for years, it's a part of my street's culture, therefore I have the right to move in whenever I want. How is the written word any different than a creation made of bricks? Why would I spend years writing a novel and only get the right to benefit from it for some arbitrary amount of time? If I wrote it and I built it, then I should be the beneficiary of it. Why is that concept so objectionable? Just because someone wants to do something with Robocop, doesn't give them the right to steal the work of someone else. There IS a means to create derivative works; it's called licensing. When your startups open source all of their application code, then perhaps I might be more convinced, but until that happens, complaints about copyright are nothing more than hypocrisy. There's nothing stopping any of us from creating our own art.
Don't think I was 'arguing' anything really. Just commenting on the irony. Nature tends to be brutish and nasty, quite the opposite to the picture that your typical urban-living organic food enthusiast has.
On the vc-backed point, i should have been more specific. There is nothing wrong with being vc-backed. However there has been a deliberate attempt at crafting a narrative of "docker is expanding feature scope because it is vc-backed therefore greedy an untrustworthy". That narrative is pushed by competitors who are also vc-backed, making the whole thing quite ridiculous. Yet somehow it sticks. It's very disheartening given the enormous focus on cleanly layering company success on top of project success.

Anyway, you are right. Time to focus on fixing the actual issues and ignoring the rest.

Thanks.
I really like how lotus/model isolate persistence and biz logic layer. Plus it is not inheritance of a class like ActiveRecord :+1:. Besides, the modular application architecture is interesting too, though I face a problem with the routing, it seems to me if you have multiple apps, the routes of all apps are not flatten altogther thus the namespace of one 'child' app does not take effect. Thought?
Do you think the chickens give a shit what colour the barn is?
this is an overgeneralised meme. Just because you can't find something on google doesn't mean that other people (who actually know of these site locations, or are the hosters of these sites, or are searching via different search engines) aren't accessing it.

Google is also not the be all and end all of search. According to comscore (take with giant salt crystals) google has around 67% of the search market in the US. Now taking only the US, this means that there are around 33% of the web-going population in the US who could care less what google does with its index (because they simply never see it at all in the first place).

Is irrelevance the biggest slap in the face? For some people even if google deletes their entire index, it wouldn't even make a difference.
> But how can we combine multiple accusations of assault, given that survivors are usually unaware of each other and often reluctant to come forward?

I see the other comments pointing at this potential problem as well, but I'll phrase it as a question - since the article opens with a reference to Bill Cosby, is it even valid to combine multiple accusations of assault when the accusers are aware of each other, possibly through media exposure, and may have come forward as a result?

And while there is a (perhaps unsurprising?) correlation between independent accusations and probability of guilt, how can this statistical approach be responsibly used, and should it, and what for?

Assault is awful and I'm sure the majority of assaults with even one accuser is (or should be) straightforward), but it seems like there are other uncontrolled possibilities here besides the independence of accusations, like whether the accuser and accused know each other.
I really wish I could find labeling on what the chickens are fed... you really can't get it... I would suspect that Pasture-Raised with supplemental corn feed would be sufficient... I just wish it was part of the labeling.

IMHO it affects the taste and structure of the eggs more than the meat of chickens... I also notice the differences with beef a lot more too in terms of what they were fed. It would be really nice if meat, eggs and dairy could be better labelled as such. Then again, it would be nice to see slow-pasteurized milk make a comeback too.
But strictly speaking, the [size|style|color] of the barn has little to do with anything if you put too many birds in it.
I agree with your points. Regarding the last one, I meant more the case of technical people, that never had a mentor. There are a lot of people like that in SV that are doing great. But I certainly concur that for getting funding, you do need connections, difficult or impossible without them.

As I said before, I'm not saying anything is perfect, and there are plenty of flaws. I would say that more flaws exist in getting funded than in having a successful career - which is most people in tech in SV.

Ask HN: What is first step of innovation?
I have worked with a very well know entrepreneur (named in 35 Innovators Under 35 list) he used to say
"First step of innovation is to copy plus slight improvement"

What do you think about it ?
Thanks
It's a pretty big fail when people wait until the daily stand-up to communicate. It's better than not communicating at all, of course :-)

Either way, daily stand-ups are the worst thing about scrum especially when they are hijacked by PMs. I'm yet to meet a develop who'd look forward to stand-ups. I know they exist somewhere :-)

If you are curious about what other people (you don't talk to a lot) are working on then Hubot is a good solution. Hubot has a great plugin to let you share what you are working on without having to deal with stand-ups.
Well, they're responding to what people like. Additionally, they have to compete with the "natural" and "organic" trend. If they didn't try to make their eggs look like whatever people/society currently deem normal then the "natural" and "organic" competitors would have successfully manipulated the market. And we'd all be eating overpriced food that probably only has the added benefit of looking like what we think natural food should look like.

I wish leiningen wouldn't take so long to run. The only real trouble with Clojure is how unbearably _slow_ the tools are. I can deal with the runtime taking its time to get going (mostly), but the tooling...
No, thank you. You gained a lot of respect back just by listening and taking it to heart.

By the way, I totally get you. I'm the same way. If someone's wrong, damn my position, I want to tell them. It's damaging to a deep layer when people are wrong about your work, especially when you believe in it very strongly. I compared you to caker earlier and he and I went twenty rounds about decisive, honest response to some of the criticism. One thing he's good at, to his credit, is knowing when not to respond (usually). I'm still learning that.

Anyway, happy holidays.
That's cool, but with respect, it might be better to turn it into a brief summary and repost it as a top level item. This child thread is deep and buried now so few users are going to see it.
Canada is negotiating with the US via TPP. Some precedent has been set in CETA and NAFTA. Public opinion could influence the outcome of TPP negotiations, as ACTA did.

CETA, Canada-EU: http://www.michaelgeist.ca/2014/08/canada-shaped-copyright-r...

"Canadian reforms had an impact on the negotiations. Requirements to extend the term of copyright or create new rights for broadcasters and visual artists were removed from the draft text. Moreover, the digital lock rules and Internet service provider liability provisions were substantially re-written to better reflect the Canadian approach ... the “made-in-Canada” approach is gradually garnering increased attention around the world as a creative, viable alternative ... other countries have been considering adopting the Canadian model on issues such as Internet provider liability or the creation of user-generated content."

NAFTA, Canada-US-Mexico: http://www.barrysookman.com/2011/02/19/is-copyright-part-of-...

TPP, Canada-US-Mexico-Australia-New Zealand-Malaysia-Singapore-Japan-Vietnam-Brunei-Peru-Chile : http://www.michaelgeist.ca/2014/10/new-tpp-leak-canada-emerg...

"..the U.S. wants Canada to eviscerate many of the recent reforms found in copyright and counterfeiting legislation along with court rulings on patent protection. These demands focus on enhanced criminal liability for copyright infringement, eliminating the Canadian approach to Internet service provider liability, extending the term of copyright protection, and expanding patent protection. Canadian negotiators have thus far resisted many of the proposed changes, offering alternatives that are compatible with current law. Yet as the treaty negotiations continue, the pressure to cave to U.S. pressure will no doubt increase, raising serious concerns about whether the TPP will force the Canadian government to overhaul recently enacted legislation that it has steadfastly defended as reflecting a balanced, “made in Canada” approach."

I didn't miss it. If they find it is not as much fun as they thought and they have other options, they drop out.

I'm pretty sure, for example, that women tend to be less concerned about the potential income of their profession.

I wouldn't be surprised if women are on average less antisocial than men, for the simple reason that women are desired by the world. Men wonder how to talk to women, women wonder how to avoid being talked to (great simplifications of course). So computing would on average be less attractive (in the days before facebook anyway).
How does your example prevent someone with access to your meteor server from bypassing your custom permissions? My understanding is the code in question runs on the client.
Never, ever decline interviews until you are officially 'on board.' Things don't always work out, for a variety of reasons, and there is no reason to paint yourself into a virtual corner, and not have any options at the end of the day.
My web development experience started with Rails, Postgres, and SQLite about 16 months ago and starting using Meteor about 10 months ago. In the handful of Rails apps I made, all of my interactions with the database were done through Active Record; I was an abstraction away from any SQL queries. I declared my relationships and got the data I wanted with simple `object.attribute` syntax.

In Mongo, I do the same thing but without an ORM. I declare objects and insert them. If I want relationships between collections I have to declare them myself, but that's just declaring some foreign key fields. I denormalize my data model in some places so I don't have to do that too often, though. And Meteor gives me this interface on the client as well — that along with data reactivity and a pub-sub architecture is a lot of fun to build with.

I've seen a lot of hate for Mongo and I'm not sure why. SQL and NoSQL databases are both capable of doing the same thing, they just have different use cases that they excel at. This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRoy6I4gKWU) is the clearest talk I've seen explaining their differences, and having watched that I'm unsure of why people are so rabidly for or against each type of database.
Not sure if it is pure innovative thinking or not having to worry about regulatory troubles but Bing has been innovating on ideas like this much earlier than Google.

Of course physical genetics give many athletes an advantage, but any athlete will tell you that training - both mental and physical - are the only things that will make an athlete or team win and can frequently make up for predisposed characteristics that may be disadvantageous (shorter stature, smaller frame, etc). As far as meritocratic environments go, sports is certainly among the top.
Whole hashing and salting etc stuff is pointless. What does matter? Is the fact that passwords aren't reused anyway. Do I really care if you know that my password for service X was:
c'EyqXnrq-bCyfF_dK67$j
I don't really couldn't care less, if you get it hashed or not, really. If they owned the system, and they were after my data, they got it already. Password(s) is just minute and meaningless detail. I've always wondered this pointless discussion about passwords. It just doesn't make any sense.
My parenthetical remark which started this tangent is that I see people suggesting rust because "it solves race conditions" and when I looked into that claim it looked basically like the compiler enforcing no data sharing. The scheme is unworkable for lots of domains.

If you define data races to not include race conditions that your code is handling (by placement of atomics, fences, locking etc.) then maybe your points make some sense but it is exactly the code handling these that I am saying does not fit with what I have seen rust advocates claim. You have to reason about these things at some level, and what I hear people advocate on hn is to sidestep it all by preventing sharing, which may be a fine idea but doesn't work for everything.

Lastly, in my mind, if your lock free algorithm works by letting the races happen but using the result of an atomic op and/or fences to ensure consistent behavior, I would still call that a (benign) race. That you needed atomics, fences, or compiler hints to get what you want seems orthogonal.

The passing along of stories through generations and evolution of those stories is one of the things that historically made us human beings. It is intrinsic to all of human culture.
Agree completely. The heuristic should be used in the fashion of "yes is good, but no is not necessarily bad".

> But I'm genuinely curious how most people classify the difference between api and library.

JMS is an API [1], [2].

ActiveMQ [3] is an implementation of the JMS API.

Commons BeanUtils [4] is a library. The library itself has an API (that's how we interact with the library).

There is a semantic difference between the "JMS API" and the "BeanUtils API".

The former is just an API. It's a standard. It has no implementation. Implementations are all expected to utilize the API.

The latter is a library, but we need to talk to the library - and we do that through its API. However, the API that BeanUtils exposes is not standardized. It's by and large local to BeanUtils.

I hope this helps. Sorry it's so Java centric.

Hmm. Up until now the Sony/NK thing has been confusing from a technical standpoint - there's lots of good reasons to be curious about and skeptical whether NK had anything to do with the SONY hack (see the bazillion threads on HN and elsewhere that cover it). Now for some conspiracy.

Here are some facts. One of the primary journalists responsible for announcing that the government had determined NK was responsible for the SONY hack is the same one responsible for falsely declaring the US had confirmed locations of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq on behalf of the State Department (Judith Miller), who hadn't yet gotten the public support it needed to go into Iraq.

But what could the US's motivation for falsely fingering North Korea in this attack, if that's in fact what was done?

First, either instability or regime collapse in North Korea would mean very good things for the United States. Not just because it would advance human rights or because NK represents a black mark on US military operations. But also because instability threatens China. A regime collapse would mean China would have to deal with a flood of millions of starving and brainwashed immigrants at its border, and in fighting due to power vacuums. The downside is that the US would need to spend a lot of money and man hours supporting their ally South Korea, as they would also be forced to handle the instability, and because of US military presence in the region.

But second - and this is where the conspiracy theorizing comes in - we've seen the US make several attempts to get Twitter to censor certain types of information. The US, through the NSF, wants to study 'social pollution' on Twitter (http://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/truthy-project-is-unw...). However, it already has studies on social contagion and memetic social influence and these are used in political campaigns today (http://enga.ge/download/Inside%20the%20Cave.pdf & http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/11/07/how-obamas-internet... & http://theweek.com/article/index/256160/how-obama-won-the-in...). Moreover, the United States uses these tactics to influence public opinion in enemy nation states, such as the use of Twitter this year to cause insurrection and organize riots to overthrow the Cuban government earlier this year (search Cuban Twitter CIA), the use of Twitter messages in Jordan, Egypt, Syria and others to spread US propaganda (http://minerva.dtic.mil/doc/samplewp-Lieberman.pdf), and the US contracts with companies that are used to do the same thing (e.g. www.marayamedia.com).

The conspiracy here would be that since the US has so far lacked legal traction in giving it the ability to influence other nations with adversarial messages but preventing others from influencing US citizens in the same way, that it is using the traction of the NK/SONY event to create a civil law precedent for content curation in Twitter that can later be expanded to federal law. This creep from civil to federal law has happened before - notably with Youtube - which now removes content that the federal government wants it to (known examples include ISIL recruitment videos and US citizen Anwar al-Awlaki's political messages).
"Current nVidia and AMD GPUs are just wide SIMD machines"

That's not really true; you can kind of treat it that way, depending on the algorithm (eg, matrix multiplication breaks down cleanly that way), but there are serious flexibility advantages in the "single-instruction-multiple-thread" model vs SIMD. For example, consider streaming large numbers of hash lookups - difficult to express clearly with a pure vector processing model.
