Title should be edited to include the date (2015), I wondered why it was being announced as something we didn't already know.

A study I read had two groups each eating a bowl of white rice (a high glycemic load food), except one group ate an apple fifteen minutes before the rice. Each group ate the same serving of rice, so the apple group was getting more carbs, more sugar, more calories. They found the apple group experienced less of a blood sugar spike from the rice. This changed the way I think about food and diet maybe more than anything other single food study.
That's a pretty accurate description of the national labs complex. It is part of the military industrial complex and it offers financial security in exchange of personal and professional freedoms. It is very difficult for one to get their ideas funded unless they align with research directions that come from the top, which are rarely inspiring.

I wish the legacy of the nuclear stewardship program could be separated into its own thing and fund the creation of a separate, open campus that can attract and recruit more talent to work on more innovative research directions. A place of greater transparency and openness. It's never gonna happen but I can dream!
This is my experience too. I found that in the stress of the pandemic I was eating more and more comfort food. I did a reset where I cut back slowly to zero refined carbs (e.g., sugar, flour, juice), walked 10k steps per day, and then shifted to eTRF (stopping eating for the day in the early afternoon). My energy levels and mental clarity are hugely better.

One thing I didn't expect is that the nature of hunger changed for me. I experience a lot less hunger now that I'm eating less and for a shorter portion of the day.
If some people are responding to this study inappropriately that’s their problem. But when presented with this information I find it unhelpful for people to dismiss it and say things are fine. Things are not fine for the animals of this planet and I don’t think that should be dismissed, even if some types of people’s response to the information is annoying.
They were the torchbearers of knowledge during that period of time. After the Siege of Baghdad and the Reconquista, that torch was passed to us.
Don't buy bondage tape labeled as such, it's usually massively marked up. What you're looking for is 3M Vetrap. Highly recommend ;)

Just send four trusted family members half of the passphrase in a sealed envelope and tell them what it's for. If your family has a lawyer or safe deposit box trusting that instead is a 1000x better option.
In Seattle you are fined $50 the third time, $75 the fourth, $124 after that.

Yep, they never mention it. Odd omission eh?
I guess we're never going to agree, then. I want mathematics classes to be about proofs and deduction, not a forum to debate opinions in.
Think of it this way, if your employers fire you for doing the right thing, then you will spend less time at companies like that.
What if someone needs to call 911?
> he is a former US President - we aught to know what he thinks

Honest question: Why? It is a bit my outside perspective that the US has too big of person cult thing going. Not just in politics and independent of brand.
He did ask the realtor, as well as Comcast themselves, and all were under the impression that it already had service. (First question in the FAQ.)

The comments in that discussion said that iTunes Match was deleting songs and audio recordings, even those that it didn't match.
So I should pay $50 dollar just to read one article? (And pay for a foreign currency transfer on top of that?) There is no option to read the article without signing up for one year subscription.

From a link shared on a public news aggregation site, I would expect the content to be publicly available as well (or at least some kind of indicator in the title)
> bypasses signature verification.

APKs do not bypass signature verification. Android still requires all apks to be signed, and only installs updates to apks that were signed by the same original key.

As for BGP attacks, the apk is distributed using TLS, so it needs more than that. That being said, CDN hacks are definitely an issue. But so is someone hacking their play store account or Google play itself.
Let's say they record your position every 15 minutes.
(Position can be achieved via Wi-Fi AP names, cell towers, GPS).
Let's say you commute everyday to work on a highway and your average speed is 100 Km/h with sometimes a top speed of 150 Km/h.
Let's say your position shows that you're every workday near a pub from 17:50 to 19:00.
Let's say you're never seen near a gym.
Let's say you're sometimes near a medical center specialized in prostatic care.

Boston Dynamics is not a proxy for advances in robotics. It's a company on the market, and it doesn't have much business. Academic research continues to be valued and thus funded.
It symbolizes nothing. A flag is a symbol for an idea and means nothing on its own. A death is not a symbol for anything but means a lot on its own.

I really don't understand how this is relevant to flying that flag which represents much intentional suffering, to which the above poster objected.
So does the American flag for a lot of people, that's why we need a military, right? Did you know this woman was a veteran, by the way? She swore an oath to protect that flag, not the confederate flag. Try reconciling this in your mind, maybe you'll understand what's happened better.
Mastery is difficult to quantify, especially in terms of code or engineering cleverness. I think, what comes close, is the ability to get way more tradeoffs right than wrong, to hit an optimal balance. Tradeoffs in decision making when it comes to picking technologies or languages, or a certain design pattern, or an architecture, or UI/UX or whatever, when building systems. Small tradeoffs that may not look like much immediately, but pay off in the long term. Sacrificing a seemingly good feature now to avoid the pain of technical debt in the future.

Many of these traits are fundamental, universal, and even philosophical, than is general perceived, and transcend technologies and stacks, and to a large extent, time.

And yet, I think, the above traits can be described as good, and not really mastery in its truest sense, like in other disciplines like music or painting. Software engineering is way too diverse, fragmented, chaotic, and ever changing.
I'm glad you've added that last paragraph, because I had the impression you'd welcome our new F/OSS overlords, even though I factually agree with your point about open implementations having replaced open standards.

What I mean is that, while people love to argue about F/OSS free vs open licenses nuances ad infinitum, the reality is that power has shifted to a very small number of players (FAANG, RedHat/IBM, MS et al) who've captured F/OSS, without choice, discussion, evolution (of competing ideas). What you call "design by committee" can alternatively be seen as a defense against unilateralism with the power dynamics we've headed into.

"Open implementations" means nobody can make a buck and sustain development and innovation. The only gain to be made is through integration and attention economy, creating perverse incentives.

Take Linux: they're trying to implement an operating system for like 30 years now in a monolithic fashion. The power of Unix is not that it's the most advanced operating system, even by 1970s standards, but that it is a minimal portable system that can be created from scratch in one or two years.

Linux being GPL hasn't prevented it from being used for a giant spynet (Android) nor a lock-in scheme ("the Cloud", k8s) taking Unix principles of site autonomy and small parts working together ad absurdum (the absurd part being that to shield against minor F/OSS version conflicts we need opaque almighty container orchestration and an accompanying zoo of tools, all the while we're doing largely the same we did 20 years ago on much less capable hardware).

Take so-called web standards: the idea of standardization is originally motivated by digital humanism, eg. that we do the best we can to come up with idioms and languages for digital communication and its preservation, accepting inclusion over perfection. The reality is that this idea has been usurped by an ad company taking all communication into an analytics-heavy medium more idiosyncratic than ever, leaving a single browser capable to render web content in its entirety, where "standards" (HTML, http) are created by the dev team of said browser. We didn't need that; we had CompuServe, AOL, and desktop operating systems for this purpose.
For 1/30th of the cost you can get a 1440p monitor (based on UK prices).

I do agree that a single monitor is more comfortable.
Just so. A lot of the problems have already been solved before anyone starts typing code.

It is SO common in this industry for people to literally not know what some software is meant to do, and just start typing code anyway. There's an entire software philosophy, "agile", based around that. If it IS known in advance what the software is meant to do, the quality of software that can be created is just astounding.
Once you trust the machine to get you back, you can retake those brain cycles previously used to track that information to do something more productive, e.g. think about what you're going to do at the destination, engage in social banter, or plan the rest of your day.

You don't realize it, but you're actually less productive than your friends with GPS.
Cool! May I suggest two more change. 1) Remove the Underline from the link on hover -- instead, change the color of the font. 2) Add a button to collapse the opened comments section (probably besides the 'see more' button), after someone has opened the comments. Have to scroll all the way to top right now. Thanks.
It seems like, if they renamed systemd-nspawn and systemd-import to take "systemd" out of their names, a lot of controversy would go away.
Not a high-end machine, but my wife recently got an x140e for peanuts (< $300 for the laptop during the XMas season sales, plus ~$150 to upgrade to an SSD + 8 GB RAM). She was upgrading from a Chromebook and decided that Linux fit her immediate use case better than Windows. My only guidance in this was, "plug in an ethernet cable during installation."

Every single piece of hardware--touchpad, sound, webcam, suspend, wifi, etc.--worked out of the box.

This machine is solidly built, and reasonably attractive. I'd say the thing that dropped the price was its weight. Functionally, it's easily a replacement for my MacBook Air or better. Physically, it's like three MacBook Airs stacked on top of each other.

Sorry, forgot to mention linux distro. She is running stock Ubuntu 14.04 with Unity. Unity might get some hate from some segments, but seeing a novice user take to it with zero guidance was illuminating to me.
Maybe you guys can answer this. With mainland Europe using GSM across the board, do they have these frequency allocation problems across providers? It seems to me like it would be in everyone's interest to have a large shared pool of frequency allocations and share the burden of maintaining a network using them. Then you significantly more bandwidth capability per tower.
remember! all these downvotes are actually good for bitcoin!
> It's quite explicit, in the sense that Germans vote for a government which funds university education with taxes.

I'm not sure you saw my related example, German education may be subsidised/free but I don't think it comes with any strings attached. If being restricted to work in Germany after studying there is expected that should be made explicit. I have never heard something similar mentioned in any discussion on subsidised education, to me this is quite insidious.

> No, it's the American firms deskilling American workers (by lobbying for and winning lower public American investment in education and training in order to get lower taxes).

> That's my point: the Germans voted responsibly to invest in their countrymen and have their investment consumed by Americans who are staunchly refusing to produce what they need themselves.

If America can spend less on education and still end up with better skilled people (and better products) this still feels like a net win. Why is this bad?

> Not issuing work visas to America puts a gun to nobody.

I'm quite sure i'm missing the moral point. I'll try to summarise what I've got so far.

In general, I feel valuing a person differently depending on which state they're born in is immoral, similar to judging them by race.

You're argument (?)is that this immigration of skilled workers is negative for both countries, the country that subsidised their education and the country that receives the new workers.

I don't see how this is the case, it seems like a net positive for the country receiving the immigrants and the subsidised education responsibility should be an explicit part of the contract otherwise its a hidden, unadvertised cost.
> it's a bunch of C with obvious memory leaks (remember, if theres a dup in that function name, it's gonna allocate memory)

That's only really an issue if someone ever turns this into a library and calls it from long-running code. As a command line utility the small amounts of memory that are leaked don't ammount to too much waste and everything gets reclaimed on exit.
I would pay three times as much for a book by Mike Pall. With all due respect to Lars Bak (and I have utmost respect), Mike Pall has done a lot more with about 1% of the resources.
I currently live in/operate from a minivan, so waste for me is a smaller version of the waste problem on the ISS or in a small, rural community. Namely, do I haul or burn. I decided to sort and haul with extreme prejudice.

Before I took off on my hacker tourism trip I was living in a suburban McMansion. The house was large and empty; my roommate was a recent divorcé whose kids had all moved out. We were both meticulous recyclers, and I sort all organic waste out of the trash and into the earth (a brief aside: I put it all into the ground. Many in the gardening world say this is bad; i disagree because nitrogen.). The net effect was a full recycle bin (two wheel standing bin) once a week and a half full rubbish bin (same design) once a month.

I believe that the key to reducing landfills and capturing trapped/wasted raw materials is an at-home solution. Maybe a sorting and storage device that can be picked up. This concept would be similar to the 2-way power scheme some energy providers use with solar supplement customers.
This is an awesome development for Handshake and the decentralized web. This is how DNS should have functioned from day one, but of course the technology wasn't available when it was created.
it _is_ simple, as evident by the article if you read it in full
The need to commonly panic stop is entirely due to tailgating. Eliminating tailgating though can't ever completely eliminate the need to panic stop. But I can't think of any time in the past 30 years that I've needed to panic stop. True accidents do happen, but the majority of time "panic stops" are due to inattention and insufficient stopping distance.

And I'm not going to carefully research something that should be very obvious if you have any experience driving at all. You can go out and talk to a thousand driving instructors and police who will tell you the same thing.

Anecdotes can also be right. You can't prove something wrong by screaming N=1 you can only argue its not proof. So prove my experience wrong with statistics and data (I will bet you that you cannot).
That's just one update.

Multiply that for every week throughout the lifetime of a mac and the benefits of delta updates are clear.
That's very true, and the PoC works for that person. It's not that easy in real-life development though, you can't just switch out the JSON parser and call it a day. Lots of testing has to be done and you have to go through all the previous changes to make sure you're not missing what the previous maintainers did to fix some one-in-a-million issues.

I'm not saying it's impossible for this to be as easy as the author claims it to be. I'm just saying that it might not actually be that easy in reality, if you're on the inside.
Could it be that MMO players are just more accustomed to long load times? (Lack of loading patience is one of the reasons I don't play SWOTOR.)

The Docker company gave up on all that and switched to selling "developer tools".
Are you conflating the Peace Nobel Prize with the other ones? AFAIK the only one constantly criticized is the Peace Nobel Prize, whose attribution works very differently from the "real" ones.
>Norway was also poor in the 70s and they're rich now. They refused to join the EU twice.

Surely that richness wasn't because of some geopolitical move, or exquisite global trade deals, or tax optimization, leveraged by their independence from the EU - it was because Norway was lucky enough to have plenty of Natural Resources (namely oil).

With that said, you're completely right: the EU doesn't act like an Union.

EU in it's current form is just a marketplace, when it could be way more. You're right about Italy earthquake, and even the whole response to Coronavirus - which resumed was "be careful with borders closing, let's avoid that, here's some money, and vaccines will come eventually we got a good deal!"

If there's no change in the EU, it will fade away and make less and less sense.

For example, I'm from Portugal, and we've been watching China buying strategic assets from us for years because we're in a tight spot, we even issued national dept in chinese currency - yikes. Now there's even prospect of China getting into the old Lages Base in the Atlantic, which used to be leased to the USA.

I blame a lot of this on corruption, but truth be told, there wasn't much interest in the Union in these assets.

>New members only serve as a free market of cheap labour and infrastructure and its eastern members have started making their own political decisions lately, some of them clashing with the EU directives. What union, you must be having a laugh!

EU needs to be more than money, there needs to be some vertical integration with results that must be shown, else this will be just a pit for corruption where people will be fucked over and over again with bail outs and high taxes, while they remain in poverty or a low waged middle class crushed by taxes. We don't like to be a source of high qualified cheap labor, with cheap real state for summer/spring vacations or for retired UK, German, French, Dutch citizens.

I'm pro EU, but I'm getting tired of this shit.
In particular, the rule limiting the award to three people needs to change. It was already a problem in Wu's case (she could have received the Nobel if not for that rule, along with several other experimental physicists who also confirmed the theory), and is now a critical problem because physics research today has a lot of huge team projects with dozens of authors.

For example, the paper announcing the first observation of the Higgs boson [1] had hundreds of authors - none of whom received a Nobel for the discovery (the Nobel, like the Nobel for weak parity violation, was awarded to the theorists alone).

But I'm not so sure about your proposed solutions. There are already many alternative rewards - Wu herself was awarded the Wolf Prize in Physics in 1978 - and none come close to the public recognition that the Nobel has.

And is it really possible for the Swedish legislature to dictate that the foundation grant awards contrary to Nobel's will?

HTTPS isn't a signifier of content quality, so mandating it would not be 'good' in any sense that's relevant to the community.

For the same reason Hacker News doesn't categorically ban articles behind a paywall, provided a workaround exists.
I'd only bother to encrypt work machines -- I don't see why it wouldn't work. My gaming setup -- I'd definitely not bother.

Not every machine is a guaranteed boot. It depends on MBR/GPT etc and whether UEFI is disabled in the BIOS and other configurations. However generally yes, they will. I've even have setups where the SSD would would have macOS/Windows/Linux. Much older motherboard pre-2012 generally don't like this setup and it can be v.slow.
Charlemagne (or Karel de Grote as we call him in Dutch) is a pretty big deal in our history. We've learned about him in primary school and again, somewhat more in depth, in secondary school.

Of course not everyone knows what he did. Most people aren't all that interested in history. You could say the same thing about most historical figures. As a quick guess Julius Caesar, Napoleon and Hitler are the most obvious of a pretty short list of counterexamples that are so well-known that almost everybody has at least some idea of what they did. Even that is going to be pretty limited: I suppose a lot of people here in Belgium are aware of Caesar because he came here to conquer, and provides the oldest written sources of our regions. But not a lot of people are aware of his role in the end of the Roman Republic.
If I were the chinese government, I would do what the US do: Declare loudly the importance of free speech, human rights etc. while infecting every server with trojans, using the cheap human resource to clickfarm positive wikipedia articles, use machine learning and neural network to recognize dissident patterns on the internet and target them specifically, spy on the population while condamning other countries for citizen surveillance, and most importantly, scream as loudly as you can about how crucial human right is while secretly spending $$$ on extraordinary rendition.
This is a great article, but it fails to mention Weissman Score - the gold standard of compression measurement.
