zomg, clearly hfcs is the reason people are getting so much fatter.
You expect a 50/50 mix, and you're getting 45/55 mix. You key off of the 45 (glucose), so you're expecting 45 fructose. You're getting 55/45 the fructose you expect.
Bottom line: 22.2% of the fructose in HFCS isn't handled properly. Fructose isn't a problem unless you have tons of it. Fruit has fiber so it generally isn't a problem - you'll be full or bored of fruit before you consume too much fructose by eating fruit. Fruit juice is bad. HFCS is bad. HFCS being used in some many things can make it hard to avoid.
When you use Google Wallet, you load the app, and enter your pin. You swipe, then chose which bank account you want to have the money paid from. It then pops up a copy of the transaction, which in my case I can put into a category.

FAIL!
Back to the paradigm of getting your shit in order and knowing what you want before you ask me to build it. Back to the paradigm of reading the emails I send out. Back to the paradigm of responding to emails, answering questions therein (I even bold them for you!), and providing unambiguous responses. "Yes, that's fine." is not a proper response to an email containing 3 separate questions (none of which are satisfied with a "yes" or a "no"). Back to the paradigm of understanding your own business and policies so that when I build an application around them you don't have to ask me to change the underlying design a week after launch. Back to the paradigm of not having meetings that result only in you saying "we'll get back to you on that" when asked about things in your policy that I have to model in the application.
Because face time is important. Interacting with coworkers is important. Being able to go over a design at a whiteboard together rather than reading the same powerpoint slide separately is important. THe best ideas I've had in my career have been created as a result of talking to my coworkers over lunch/coffee break/tangent from another discussion. Telecommuting is a loss to productivity even if they are perfect about actually working (which having done it for a year- its not an easy thing to do, there's a lot of temptations). Its not only easily worth 15-30k, its worth 2-3 times that to have then onsite. That's ignoring the fact that a large number of people won't be on point when working from home- many without even meaning to cheat the system.
As a developer I'll just say that "face time" and interacting with coworkers are two of the main impediments to me getting shit done.

Yup, you're a retard. When's your iPhone 6 shipping? Did you opt for the + model because Apple says big screens are good now? Or are you still sticking with the old 'perfect size"?
What are the two biggest price-determining factors in a market economy? Stupidity and greed.

Wrong. It's a common marketing tactic.
You have one model that you use to advertise the "starting" price. This model has a significant con to it that will concern most users.
You have the main model you intend to sell the most of. This model does not have the con of the cheaper model. This model is what you based your design and price around. The other models are represent minor changes and have prices determined entirely by psychology, not by production cost.
You have a high end model that you sell a few of at ridiculous markups. This model is just slightly better than the main model in a few aspects.
You see this done with Apple devices, cars, video cards, event tickets, etc. It's not a conspiracy unless you're an idiot who doesn't realize this goes on everywhere. It's marketing.
So, you want to install a "Wave harnessing device" on a boat who's primary mission is to stay moored in the same place without moving despite wind and waves? You don't see a problem with that?
It'd be the equivalent of mounting a windmill to a blimp.

I have an iPhone 6 on order, and I plan to use it either way, but I couldn't find the answer to this in the article: Can I use a playlist for an alarm, or can alarm apps work correctly in the background? Since the built-in alarm app only plays one song, you had to use another app if you wanted to wake up to a random song off a playlist. iOS 7 and older versions required that app to be in the foreground for it to play the song. Normally not a big deal, but if you answered a text message in the middle of the night or couldn't sleep and did a little websurfing and forgot to switch back to the alarm app, your alarm wouldn't go off. This isn't an issue with Android, and I'm hoping Apple has fixed this serious limitation - either by allowing the alarm app to use a playlist, or by allowing 3rd party apps to play a song without being in the foreground. It's my biggest pet peeve about iOS, especially after having an Android phone without this limit for the last two years. (If you read reviews in the App Store for alarm apps, most or all of them have people complaining about the app having to be in the foreground - they don't realize it's a limit of iOS rather than a limit of the app. So, I know it's not just me that's annoyed by this.)
The alarm only works if it's the foreground app? Holy fucking shit LOL!

That drive me up the wall. Why have an entry level phone? the manufacturing costs between 16 and 64 is tiny. Why support some many phone types? just make 1 64GB phone.
And I ask the in earnest. What data support the cost of different lines vs/ the cost of all of them being 64GB?
16 GB is there BECAUSE it's a bad choice. 32 GB is NOT there BECAUSE it's a good choice.
People will see the lower price of the 16 GB version and use that price to decide if they want an iPhone 6. Then when they're getting ready to buy they'll hear / worry that 16 GB isn't enough, so they'll shell out the ridiculous up-charge for the 64 GB model. The true zealots will buy the 128 GB model despite not needing that much storage.
The cost of maintaining 3 different lines is minimal. The extra income gained by stratifying the models like this is huge.
All of those questions are about the controller and it's wear levelling software, not the flash chips. In regards to your questions about security, the specific number of times a cell can be erased is irrelevant, only that wear level takes place and physical data is moved around to different locations and not immediately (or potentially, ever) erased from the old location.
In theory, you should just need to delete the encryption key, because the controller encrypts all the data on the flash chips 256bit AES encryption. Again, that's entirely in the controller software.
If you don't know the details of what your controller is doing, how can you be sure that a full format (including 0 fill) is actually hitting all the data? If your drive has more storage than it presents, your format utility has no way of actually overwriting data. If you grab a utility from the vendor and it doesn't explicitly spell out what it's doing, how do you know? If something dies, what's the best way to copy as much data off the device as possible in an attempt to recover? How do you tell the controller to dump all data, including shit sitting in the spare areas? Can you even tell the controller to do this? Is the controller really encrypting all data? Where is the key located? How do I set or clear the key? How do I enable/disable the encryption?
All of this matters, and no one will fucking tell you how the controller actually does shit. Your answer is to just trust the controller. That's retarded. My answer is to distrust the controller, encrypt, and backup until they fucking tell me exactly what they're doing. That's a much safer approach, and it's device/revision/firmware agnostic.
No they don't compete in the market as a whole. People who buy $50 phones aren't going to buy $600 phones and people who buy $600 phones aren't going to buy $50 phones. They aren't the same customer base. For all practical purposes they are different products.
People who buy $12 jeans aren't going to buy $150 jeans. What happens every time a Walmart opens within 10 miles of fancy boutiques?
I don't understand how the native cell life is relevant. You're not buying flash chips from them, you're buying an SSD. The write endurance of the drive is what matters. How that is achieved is irrelevant.
It's extremely relevant. How do you securely erase a flash drive? How do you securely erase a single file on a flash drive? How do you (attempt to) restore lost data from a failing flash drive? How do you (attempt to) restore lost data from a failed flash drive?
I'll never buy a spinning disk again, but this shit matters. If you're wondering about my answers to the four questions above, they're: Fuck it, encrypt sensitive info. Fuck it, encrypt sensitive info. Fuck it, restore from backup. Fuck it, restore from backup.

You cannot extend planes. Planes are, by definition, infinite in expanse.
You are correct in pointing out that anything orthogonal to one plane is also orthogonal to every plane parallel to the first.
