100g white rice - 8% protein (2g).

I assume the reason for this is because its cooked and its taking into account water content but it feels unintuitive. Also it then doesnt tell me specifically how much carbs/fat there is, just a percentage. If people are going to use this for quick checks for specific diets it won't be all that useful.

In fact it's probably worth just using the percentages for the colour bars and only having pure values in grams shown as numbers. You could add a toggle to show percentages so that people planning a days worth of food could have a percentage split for their macros.

Aside from this I love this idea and the way its presented and would definitely use it if it had enough information.

The percentage bar is % energy content. Maybe there is a way to make that more clear. Displaying things in terms of weight percentages is misleading because the body burns a set amount of calories, not a set amount of food.

Forgive my ignorance but what exactly do you mean by Uber for Unions, I'm not seeing the link between an on-demand service platform and the mass organisation of a workforce?

It was a half-cocked attempt to be relatable and generate buzz, at this point I regret trying to make that connection.

It might have been more effective as Unions for Uber

Then perhaps you could elaborate on the sentence, seeing as the thread is about helping the learning process of a sysadmin. Posting something that only someone experienced in it would "understand" is entirely unhelpful and the likely reason for any down votes.

I put in ESET at a previous organisation I worked at and was actually amazed at how easy and straightforward it was to install and manage (simultaneously on Macs and PCs).

The solution we had in previously to this was McAfee and it was a nightmare to update.

High profile April Fools hoaxes can serve as a massive boost to brand awareness and could be seen as a large scale marketing campaign.

That's my impression anyway, I've never worked anywhere that has done one.

In London it is popular because it is the cheapest form of taxi and in many cases quite significantly without sacrificing any convenience and in many cases adding much more convenience.

> the ability to hide stories you've already read (some box to tick like a todo list) or are not interested in. They take up so much space, so there is a lot of wasted space after 5 mins on the site and reading/seeing I'm not interested in the top stories. I don't want to click 'show more', I want new headlines to replace old unwanted headlines

This is a feature I'd love in the current site as well

Do you have any sources to add to this, I've just started learning ASP.net and C# and would be interested to read what this refers to.

He's likely referring to this:

.Net was recently open sourced, along with the compilers. MS also has put real effort into making it cross platfrom with great results.

As a C# & JavaScript developer, I'm floored with this. It's such a huge shift from the past. Yes, it's wonderful.

They released Community Edition of Visual Studio (great improvement over Express) and are going more open source with .Net. http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/free-developer-of...

I would be interested to see the numbers behind the case for always deploying to iPhones first, especially around the point made on rich people having iPhones and poor people not having them.
