Cholesterol is synthesized by the liver, in sufficient quantities: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/technical-documents/articles/bi...

believe it or not, by your definition carbs are also essential, it’s just that the body can produce them

Protein -> carbs by gluconeogenesis

Isoleucine and phenylalanine are exclusively ketogenic and produce ketone bodies.

Leucine can be used to synthesize fatty acids in adipose tissue.

The only 2 fats that we really need are omega-3 and omega-6, but not in huge amounts, thankfully, both not from meat.

Point is, one can more readily survive without a major source of fat or carbs.
I believe SSBN crews would have been informed of these events by their CO over 1MC, and I'm sure COB would have his hands full censoring everybody's inbound email.

I don't really think either person is being unreasonable. I don't think he was that rude either. If I were him I would've fixed the bug or implemented a work around but clearly he was more interested in additional revenue from new customers or upgrades.

There is a big difference between weddings and marriage.
I designed this product to solve some of my own frustrations as a product manager, so here're some of my thoughts:

Apart from the huge PR value (Dell, salesforce.com, Starbucks & whitehouse.gov all got a LOT of press from these) that communities like these bring the company, they are very good at some things that traditional roadmap planning processes suck at:
1. De-duplication: When communities coalesce around similar popular ideas, it's easy to understand patterns of requirements. Traditional request processes are black holes for this reason.
2. More Democratic Prioritization: Since there isn't a good way for smaller customers to coalesce, PMs are often stuck implementing requests from their largest customers. This solves that problem.
3. Partner promotion: As a platform provider, you want to be able to support complementary partners. Unfortunately, partners often don't know what to build, or have poorly targeted products. If you were building in the force.com ecosystem, you could start your customer development right in the salesforce.com community. This was important to me because I had a lot of friends in the partner/developer community and wanted them to succeed.
Just to pile on the anecdotal evidence with a similarly old account-- most of my playlists are littered with gray boxes of unavailability as well.
dev.to looks like equivalent to Qiita. Now zenn.dev is getting popular in Japan instead of Qiita.
No way. Health scare memes are absolutely dangerous and almost certainly the reason for the most pernicious and widespread health problems in the US.

The media always need a new villain. If it were settled that an obvious component of our diet were the culprit for most of our problems, much of the drama and conflict would be drained from one of their favorite story lines.

Your example of trans fats is a good one. Trans fats are bad relative to other fats, but nowhere near as sickening as sugar and corn syrup. Unfortunately, reporting on the evils of trans fats is in its shiny glamorous stage, so we are bombarded with stories about it, which creates a skewed perspective on what matters to our dietary health.

Today's health crises, which exploded around 1980, can be traced back to the media trumpeting the twin (false) claims that dietary fat is evil and that corn syrup is a healthful alternative to sugar. Given the power of the media, this predictably resulted in an explosion of corn syrup uptake and consequently an explosion in obesity, diabetes, and probably cancer.

At our current place, we need to keep the current infrastructure repaired and working and start reducing the money government spends. Tax history shows we get about 15 - 20% GDP in taxes for the last 70 years. High speed rail is a huge expenditure the federal government needs to skip for now. How many miles of fibre can be paid for per mile of high speed rail?
"12-week old company" ?

From their press release the core of their product is "SoundPrint, a patented technology platform"

Patented means wading through years of patent office shenanigans, and if it was patent-pending (2 weeks) they would have said as much.

Hard to find any history on the company beyond press release - anybody have further insight?
Lisp has some of the easist syntax there is (only other contender is whitespace).

`(this is read as a list of keywords rather than as a call to the function this with the rest as arguments ,the-value-of-me-is-inserted-due-to-the-comma this-keyword-is-not-changed))

> It’s a lesson we could learn more cheaply from the sad story of the British, Spanish and other empires. It doesn’t work. You can’t stay on top if your economy doesn’t.

Kind of tongue-in-cheek - but that's a lesson I learned from playing Civilization. I know it's just a game, yadda yadda, but sometimes I do wonder how much of it translates into reality. E.g., if this was a game of Civ, China's domination would be pretty much ensured at this point: they have so many "cities" that their "production" output and "science" output will overtake anyone else's in short order.

In fact, that's how I prefer to play the game often: just build minimal defenses to make sure my cities are not conquered, and invest in growth as much as possible. Sooner or later, I'm the 800 kg gorilla of the whole Civ map.

Living rural you're also more prone to being shut out without any recourse if you don't meet the community's unspoken standards.
But it is obviously bullshit, as the real companies behind some stocks have a real value. Like for example they might own a building that is worth one billion dollars (simple example). If you take away all the stock market shenanigans, you still own part of that building via your stocks.

As for the usefulness question: providing liquidity is useful. If an investor considers investing in some project, it helps his decision making if they can be reasonably sure that they will be able to sell their shares later on.

And even if it wasn't useful, why would you care what other people do with their money?
> until you can establish beyond all reasonable doubt that that is what happened

In the case under discussion, the key scientist involved (Frederickson) admitted that she wasn't an expert in fluid dynamics. That is sufficient to establish beyond reasonable doubt that yes, what I said happened is what happened.

> You can be kind and tenacious, and forceful, and not take no for an answer.

I'm not sure that "kind" is consistent with all of those other things, in the situation under discussion. But maybe we have different interpretations of what is "kind".
> The myth of Picasso having been a great realistic painter in his youth is exactly that, a myth, and, in fact, one that has only one source, namely Picasso himself.

There are many examples of his early work online. His skill in classical realistic art is hardly deniable even if one might disagree that it reached the levels of Raphael to whom he once compared his pieces of that period. He also was partly educated at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando which wasn't some no-name school either.
> If we care about human understanding of the contract, types are no better than names.

That depends on your familiarity with the code though. Yes if you are deeply familiar with the code you probably know what data type an "entry" is. But come to it cold and trying to reverse engineer code like that in the middle of a complex system to understand it is frightening (at least, in my experience).
When did he argue against anything Cohen said? He just said his comedy sucks and he’s “the worst kind of strongman”, while implying that Cohen wants to take basic human rights away from people. If that’s not an ad-hominem, it’s pretty close.
>he's arguing against allowing the right to free speech to impinge on other rights

This is what so many people miss in this debate. We already outlaw a wide variety of speech that infringes on the rights of others. You can't threaten violence against me because that infringes on my rights. You can't slander me because it infringes on my rights. You can't reproduce my copyrighted speech because it infringes on my rights. You can't use my image to advertise your product because it infringes on my rights.

The debate isn't free speech versus no free speech. We already decided against universal free speech. The debate is now where do we draw the line between one person's rights and another person's rights.
At the time it was common to deploy on bare hosts. Deploying ES into a network namespace isn't even the most common use case today.
Kinda like the lampshade trope.
It's interesting to compare to writing/acting in terms of a product like this. The launch is basically a written and choreographed performance - all done live. And in this case, something went seriously wrong (the so-called armor glass shattered during the live test). What does the performer do to hold a mirror to it (or lampshade on it) to make it go away?

It's actually crazy that it would fail so distinctly in the demo that was supposed to show its strength. Was it the first time they used the metal ball? Had all testing just been done with hammers and crowbars?

Maybe they should really highlight how and why it failed.

I think this is mostly a management issue. People dont like changes. So as long some changes are not forced nothing is going to happen.

And if a company only uses rakes to dig holes imho you can either try to convince management that using a spade is better or stop complaining or just leave.
> I still can't remember %m vs %M without thinking twice about it

The time component is "%H:%M:%S" — it's all capitals, and I always think "her majesty's ship" when I type it for some odd reason. At any rate, that's how I remember it.

Once I work out that time component, then the date falls into place: "%m-%d-%Y".

But yes, strftime's formatting strings aren't memorable.

(I'm also a server-side engineer, so I active try to avoid formatting dates into anything other than ISO-8601…)

While running the betas, I had that experience as well. Oddly, I got used to the new method after awhile and don't really think about it anymore. But I suppose that's not going to be true for everyone and I may not have used the switch as often as others do, anyway. :)

Did you write the C and ObjC code it's calling, or are they independent libraries?
It's a great point that the approach you take for the first few key hires is different from the longer-term approach. With my 1990s vc-funded startup Intrinsa, we took a similar approach: looking at percentages for the first handful of employees during our seed funding, and then in terms of estimated value of the equity once we closed a multi-million dollar funding round.

Thinking of it in terms of "brackets" as Fred does also makes it easy to explain to new and current employees, so creates a feeling of fairness across the different organizations as things scale.
As a slight tangent, patio11 and his partner in crime/podcasts Keith Perhac talked a little about this on their podcast - basically the hours / presenteeism culture of salarymen has an anecdotal negative impact on family and married life there - basically too knackered.

It's an odd trade off that is not really needed - so it's interesting to see what will happen as the discussion of it moves from "what everyone knows but does not say" to " officially allowed to say it because of science"

The "headless" UI concepts promoted at this website feel to me like an attempt to shoehorn separation of templates and business logic which React has strongly resisted.

I remember that ETech. Back when Yahoo was doing a bunch of things that were cool and not profit-driven, like FireEagle.

In a lot of ways that tech was all ahead of its time. It's a shame the monetization schemes weren't similarly evolved. If it were, Yahoo may still be more relevant today.

Oh, I agree that the ship is now barely visible over the horizon.

That doesn't diminish the fact that the original intent was to have a common, freely-available mechanism for accessing, viewing, and presenting content.

These FB puzzles test your algorithmical capabilities; and being able to develop new algorithms is not always necessary (though always useful) for a programmer. So you can have lots of programming experience and still not be too good at algorithms.

But it is important for Facebook - so that's what they test.
I'd be interested in your take on this. The issue is not whether it is the lack of GPU or GC overhead - it is the smoothness (Apple's gold standard is 60fps).

Comment #34 from 'Request for GPU support' thread linked in this comment thread by pkaler (http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6914)

> I agree with the common opinion here... It is very hard to pitch Android to someone who is not tech savy, simply because of the choppy and sluggish UI. This has also become the talk of the masses, most people who haven't even used Android say the following: "I've seen Android, its cool, but its not as smooth and stable as the iPhone." The iPhone's hardware fails a lot (I've exchanged my 3Gs twice in less than a year), it also freezes at times and drops calls, but what do people see and remember!? UI!! If android wishes to ever compete seriously with iOS, GPU acceleration is a must!
They were not separated. They were married and still living together.

Having a password on your account does not give you a reasonable expectation of privacy from your spouse. Having a piece of paper that says "Please don't read my gmail" does.

My point is that the password alone does not give you that expectation - you need an additional something.
The author thinks that CSS and Javascript are boring because he doesn't know enough to get to the flow level. I disagree. CSS and Javascript are boring because they involve a lot of task-switching and trial and error. Stuff like, "Oh, this should be not be floating to the left" and "uh oh, the code dies in IE with no error message".

I don't think ignorance is the reason people have trouble writing Javascript. I think it's because writing Javascript for the web sucks. (I like node.js 1000x more than Javascript for the web. But it's the same programming language.)
That's $35 per acquired user, not per CD. So if you figure that the cds cost a buck to make and ship, they acquired one user for every 35 CDs shipped. That seems high, considering how many I had lying around.
"I've played with friends' Evos and I can definitely notice the jerkiness in scrolling the app marketplace."

GC is far more likely cause for the jerkiness. The 2.2 and below GC implementation is not very latency friendly. They fixed that in 2.3 with concurrent GC with a target GC pause of 3ms. Looking at 2.3 on Nexus S - there are literally no user visible pauses / jerkiness - I just can't bog it down.

GPU acceleration may be useful in some specific cases and I am sure they will get there - but having to support bazillion devices that have different GPUs - that's going to take little longer.
teacup does everything I would expect a reasonably good package manager to do.
It is your problem – if you don't like Java, just don't use it, that's all. For many other people Java/JDK is very useful tool for creating the software and building systems.

I personally don't like too much Java desktop applications, I prefer native UI based on Qt/KDE or GTK. But for server-side and command line, Java is perfect language and platform.

Recommended reading: "Japan's Longest Day", the nonfiction book, not the movie or novel (Review: http://www.warbirdforum.com/end.htm). This was written in the 1980s by a group of Japanese historians who interviewed almost everyone still living who had been directly involved in the decision to end the war.

The key thing to understand is that nobody was firmly in charge. The 6-member Supreme War Council, with representatives of the Army, Navy, and the civilian government was running the war. They had been operating by consensus, despite severe disagreements. The civilian government was much weaker than the military. (This stemmed from the February 26, 1936 attempted coup. Long story there.) The Japanese army and navy never got along. A strong faction in the Army wanted to continue the war to the bitter end. (They tried a coup against the Emperor on August 14, 1945, just before the surrender, captured the Imperial Palace, and almost succeeded.) War Minister Anami (the Army head on the Supreme War Council) said, after the Hiroshima bomb, "I am convinced that the Americans had only one bomb, after all." After the second bomb was dropped, Anami still wanted to fight on, but the Emperor decided otherwise. Anami committed ritual suicide.

It was a close thing. If Anami had supported the coup, or the coup had succeeded in capturing the NHK radio station or the Emperor himself, the war probably would have continued.
Well, yes, if you force people to use today's college ebooks. I made the mistake of buying ebooks a year ago. The ones I got forced me to use proprietary crap-ware that hardly worked, let alone worked the way I wanted. Eventually, I downloaded illegal PDF copies of the print versions of the books (that I legitimately paid for!) Using simple PDFs and an iPad was a dream come true. I can't imagine anything better for large, technical textbooks. Unfortunately, the legit offerings from text book companies don't even come close.

Honestly, I'm inclined to look sideways at this article. The college text book industry is just too entrenched and future-phobic for me not to believe that special interests funded these findings.
