Neat. What did you use to do the scan?

I second the recommendation of Debugging by Agans. It was recommended to me by one of the best debugging people at Apple, and the approaches it outlines have served me well in the years since.

Try Sundance Kabuki, especially the 21+ shows.

Also, we're getting an Alamo Drafthouse, which I'm really looking forward to: http://drafthouse.com/san_francisco/new_mission

"The big problem is the water...and it will run downhill from the Andes and wherever else Lithium is mined and into the Ocean."

Except for the geography which prevents that from happening and is why that area has giant salt flats:

Awhile back I was chatting with one of my friends who was working security at the local Whole Foods, when a woman walked by the produce section literally dragging her defecating dog through a pile of its own crap.

This is why pets aren't allowed in grocery stores. Yesterday, I counted 5 dogs inside another local grocery store. Some of them may have been legitimate emotional support dogs (although none of them appeared to be service dogs), but surely the others were just people behaving badly.

For anybody thinking of doing this, finding someone who has (serious, lab-setting) experience handling LN2 and can personally supervise would be a really good idea.

The link was mostly for the 95% stat for the Sacramento Valley. A lot of people who trot out the rice talking point seem to think rice is mostly being grown in a "desert", when it's really not.

The regional water boards in California, along with the local water districts, have ample amounts of all of the above dating back to 1967 and beyond, funded by taxpayers, with publicly available data, and in most cases involving said farmers.

Feel free to look at the data and get back with your findings. In the meantime, no, "someone thinking about it more" isn't irrelevant. They've been thinking about it more, and taking action, for decades.

Rice is largely (~95%) grown in the Sacramento Valley, which has plenty of water for it [0].

California produces 82% of the world's almonds [1].

California is a big ag state for crops requiring irrigation because we have a lot of water (relatively), good weather, and damned good farmers. People would do well to start thinking about California's water problems with the assumption that the farmers have thought about it a lot more than they have.

The first Nomiku Kickstarter finished in July of 2012: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/nomiku/nomiku-bring-sou...

Quartz does have some support for those color spaces and depths. Is there support in particular that you found lacking?

By the way, nice app!

And it's been awhile, but IIRC the Mitrokhin Archive has a number of other examples of the Soviet Union influencing US politics through donations to political organizations.

I would be surprised if governments weren't still attempting to influence each others' internal politics.

This isn't how vesting is typically set up for founders at a startup in the US. You'd do well to read the eBook I linked to, as well as Grellas' series of posts: http://www.grellas.com/faq_business_startup.html Pay particular attention to the stuff about 83(b) elections.

This isn't how vesting works for founders.

Typically, in US startups, the stock is sold to the founders up front, with the company having a repurchase option corresponding to the vesting period.

I'm flagging this post because it contains bad advice.

For information on this topic from someone who actually knows what they're doing, please read "An Introduction to Stock and Options" by David Weekly:

No, they won't: http://sfmta.com/getting-around/parking/how-park-legally

The idea is you shouldn't be modifying someObject.someField.someDict in the first place since you don't own the dict, someField does.

Wikipedia has a fairly good page on the issue: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Native_American_name_controvers...

Yeah, it's complicated.

On the one hand, you have dodging and burning, which were often used in actual darkrooms and are still used by respected photojournalists to increase the impact of their photos. [0]

Then you have things like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adnan_Hajj_photographs_controve...

Where clumsy and obvious use of the clone tool damaged the reputation of an entire news organization.

The AP standards and practices strikes an interesting balance [1]:

  AP pictures must always tell the truth. We do not alter or digitally 
  manipulate the content of a photograph in any way.
  
  The content of a photograph must not be altered in Photoshop or by 
  any other means. No element should be digitally added to or subtracted 
  from any photograph. The faces or identities of individuals must not 
  be obscured by Photoshop or any other editing tool. Only retouching 
  or the use of the cloning tool to eliminate dust on camera sensors 
  and scratches on scanned negatives or scanned  prints are acceptable.
  
  Minor adjustments in Photoshop are acceptable. These include cropping, 
  dodging  and burning, conversion into grayscale, and normal toning and 
  color adjustments that should be limited to those minimally necessary 
  for clear and accurate reproduction (analogous to the burning and 
  dodging previously used in darkroom processing of images) and that 
  restore the authentic nature of the photograph. Changes in density, 
  contrast, color and saturation levels that substantially alter the 
  original scene are not acceptable. Backgrounds should not be digitally 
  blurred or eliminated by burning down or by aggressive toning. The 
  removal of “red eye” from photographs is not permissible.

A quick Google search indicates that it's used commonly in armored cars and military vehicles.

Apple already uses OSM data in their maps app: http://gspa21.ls.apple.com/html/attribution.html

Comcast Business Class is pretty solid in SF (as opposed to their normal service, which I've also had and is terrible).

Accepting payment by credit card is one of those regulations taxis in SF find unfair and inefficient, and so flaunt regularly. So, from that perspective, I think it's germane.

I've also had drivers in SF smoke, refuse to give me a ride, and try to charge me extra fees, all of which are, AFAIK, against the law.

My read is that with the situation Yahoo is in now, that's exactly the type of manager they want to let go. From their perspective, those are the managers who don't listen to the directions they're getting from executive management.

It's hard to turn around a company if you tell people to do something and nobody does it.

Some market caps from Google Finance:

  TM, Toyota 203.72B
  VLKAY, Volkswagen AG 114.33B
  DDAIF, Daimler AG (USA) 85.52B
  HMC, Honda Motor Co 71.86B
  BAMXF, BMW 68.69B
  F, Ford Motor Company 67.33B
  GM, General Motors 51.52B
  NSANY, Nissan Motor  36.86B
  AUDVF, Audi 36.42B
  TSLA, Tesla Motors Inc 21.47B
  FIATY, Fiat  9.35B

So, no, I don't think Tesla is quite at those levels of expectations yet. (As full disclosure, I own some Tesla stock.)

Apple is big on having DRIs, or Directly Responsible Individuals. It really helps limit buck-passing.

It can be very effective. For example, WebKit has used it extensively. On the other hand, it can slow you down if your software involves rapid iteration of the UI, in which case semantic UI testing (using, eg, accessibility) may be a better solution.

A lot of people use keyboards with their iPad.
