… a subtype of malnutrition related to not breastfeeding enough.

See my other post for some examples of the research that's been done in the area of infant mortality and insufficient breastfeeding:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5619120

"The risk of developing either diarrhea or ear infection increased as the amount of breast milk an infant received decreased."

http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/99/6/e5.short

"The crude incidence density ratio (IDR) revealed a protective effect of breast-feeding on respiratory illnesses (IDR=0.66; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.52 to 0.83), on gastrointestinal illnesses (IDR=0.53; 95% CI, 0.27 to 1.04) and on all illnesses (IDR=0.67; 95% CI, 0.54 to 0.82)."

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7844664

"Overall, children who were ever breastfed had 0.79 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.67–0.93) times the risk of never breastfed children for dying in the postneonatal period"

http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/113/5/e435.sho...

"Infants exclusively breastfed ‘at discharge from the obstetric hospital’ (odds ratio [OR]=0.52, 95% confidence interval (CI):0.35–0.71) and during the last 2 days (OR=0.65, 95% Cl:0.46–0.91) had a significantly lower risk of SIDS than infants not breastfed after controlling for potential confounders."

"Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) may substantially reduce breastfeeding-associated HIV transmission."

Exclusive Breastfeeding Reduces Acute Respiratory Infection and Diarrhea Deaths Among Infants in Dhaka Slums

Breastfeeding improves survival, but not nutritional status, of 12-35 months old children in rural Bangladesh.

  Suboptimum breastfeeding still accounts for an 
  estimated 1.4 million deaths in children under 
  five annually

Anecdotally, Computer Engineering degrees have a bad rep with HR and hiring managers. The degrees seem to cover too little EE to do hardware work and too little CS to do software work.

I agree about the crisis in training and mentorship. A lot of people who seem like weak candidates are really just lacking in experience and direction.

Ah, fair enough.

The whole point was to make a Mac client, not to "spam the system."

  Could bitcoin have been worse from a government's 
  point of view?

Yes, it could have been designed to be a viable currency, rather than a lesson in basic economics for crypto-anarcho-libertarian-nerds.

Computer Science is an example of a formal science:

Or, in parts, an applied science:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_science

That's hardly all the ALF does. Here's a partial list:

http://www.splcenter.org/get-informed/intelligence-report/br...

And, despite what you say down-thread, the FBI also considers abortion clinic violence to be acts of domestic terrorism. For example, scan this list from the FBI:

http://www.fbi.gov/stats-services/publications/terrorism-200...

From the same document:

  Terrorism is defined in the Code of Federal Regulations as 
  “the unlawful use of force and violence against persons or 
  property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian 
  population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political 
  or social objectives” (28 C.F.R. Section 0.85).

So, by that standard, firebombing feed trucks would be terrorism. Secret filming would not.

Not when he's going to re-therm. Also, from the post I linked above:

  A rib-eye was salted, seared, placed in a vacuum bag, 
  and cooked at 55 C for 1.5 hours, chilled, stored for 
  two days, rethermed at 52C for one hour, seared, and 
  served

Well, in the case of sous vide it would be in a sealed bag, under pressure, cooked longer. I would hypothesize that the increased pressure would help with brine solution penetration of the meat. The sealed bag prevents moisture loss to the environment. The lengthened cooking time would mean more time for the brine solution to effect the contracting muscle filaments, and more time for the solution to be pulled into the muscle cells.

This isn't what we want. We want the salt to effect the outside of the steak the most, the portion that will be exposed to high heat when searing, because that's where the most water loss will come from.

With a slow cook in a combi oven, the characteristics would be still different.

Well, the salient point there is "prior to a low-temp cook". In that post:

http://www.cookingissues.com/2011/10/12/to-salt-or-not-to-sa...

Arnold was using sous-vide on the steaks, which has much different cooking characteristics than high heat cooking.

I've generally found that liberally salting steaks with kosher salt up to several hours in advance of grilling or roasting improves the flavor and texture substantially. Serious Eats backs me up, here:

The big one that likely upset him (and which he more specifically calls out in a previous piece) was the elimination of the qualified small business exclusion:

  Not only did the state's Franchise Tax Board (FTB)
  eliminate a tax break on capital gains for small 
  business owners and investors, it announced the tax 
  would be reinstated retroactively. This means those 
  who benefitted from the break can expect a bill for 
  unpaid taxes, plus interest, stretching all the way 
  back to 2008.

Can anyone recommend a good email/calendar host for custom domains?

Edit: I have several Google Apps for Business domains. I'm looking for alternatives.

  Now it's too bad per-user firewalling cannot be 
  done easily on neither Windows nor OS X.

I haven't tried this, but pf seems to have the support there, so I'm not sure why you couldn't.

  It's also too bad one user (say the one allowed 
  to surf the Web) cannot display its browser window(s)
  in another user (say your main account)'s graphical 
  display (neither on Windows nor on OS X).

$ su testuser

$ /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/MacOS/Safari

Seems to work for me.

  Or too bad OS X doesn't allow to run two graphical 
  sessions simultaneously

This is called Fast User Switching on OS X.

It's a biblical reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearls_before_swine

They already paid for it. The service is value added, which the taxpayer didn't pay for.

I have the previous gen iMac with the best graphics card config and Aperture flies compared to on any of my other machines. It's definitely up to the task.

cwzwarich's comment above covers it pretty well.

I'd be surprised and disappointed if those companies were using GCC to compile avionics code written in C++.

Did you miss this summer? It was really nice from August through most of October.

I can confirm the newer home units are much improved. I was getting 23Mbps down and 4Mbps up, with an 820ms ping on one of these over the holidays. This is an enormous improvement for rural Internet users.

You should really consider redesigning this feature. Having "Teams" control all the personal accounts of their employees means none of my companies can use it. So, we're stuck with folder sharing for the foreseeable future.

I'd expect Teams to work like folder sharing, but with the storage not counting towards the individual account space limits.

Some more stats I put together awhile ago:

I remember the PowWow McAfee founded that did collaborative web browsing.…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowWow_(chat_program)

It was a great solution for those of us who used it. It was also backed by S3 and Amazon CloudFront (as far as I can tell), and was integrated into the site, rather than being forced onto a wiki page or some such.

For a lot of us, the GitHub page was the project homepage. Now we're going to be forced elsewhere, like BitBucket.

The downloads aren't stored in git. They're stored on Amazon S3. Every download link redirects to cloud.github.com, which is fronted by Amazon CloudFront.

Which, conveniently enough, is exactly what they want us to do ourselves now. I already pay GitHub to do that for me, how is it a benefit for me, the paying customer, to do that myself by hand?

Sure, here's a few:

https://github.com/facebook/tornado/downloads

https://github.com/lloyd/yajl/downloads

https://github.com/adobe/brackets/downloads

https://github.com/textmate/textmate/downloads

https://github.com/KentBeck/junit/downloads

https://github.com/github/hubot/downloads

There's no misunderstanding here. You're removing a feature which a lot of us use and pay for. This sucks.
