> the beef used for hamburgers in Canada really wasn't safe unless it was well cooked

This is an exaggeration. The law originates from 1974 after a prominent TV news investigation found a few cases of contaminated beef that made no one sick. Rather than institute a new set of nation-wide inspections, the government thought it was easier to just tell people they had to cook burgers medium-well at restaurants. Several US states have recently added these laws too, but it doesn't mean US beef suddenly became unsafe.

Unless you're in a high risk category (very ill, very young, or very old), you'll be just fine with a medium rare burger.

I had a similar conversation at YYZ, interestingly enough it was on the side that is considered "US soil" (leaving Canada for the US, post customs).

It was burnt to a crisp, worst burger I've ever paid more than $2 for.
Agree.

Italian fast food usually is squared sliced pizza that you eat standing in the shop, or on the go. It's fast because it is continuously produced and therefore, by the time you walk in, it's always already available, steamming and waiting to be cut.

Take away round pizzas usually take more because the are made JIT for you and are considered more of a way to have regular dinner at home without cooking.
The Internet of Compromised Things
It has long been law in Canada that hamburgers be cooked well done for food safety reasons . . . Canadian restaurants will never give you the choice; it surprised me to be asked how I wanted it cooked when I was in the US and other countries. However, I take issue with the idea that the beef is unsafe. It may be slightly riskier than say a steak (which you can order rare), but if there was any suspicion about the beef, it would never be sold.
Ask HN: Where can I find similar CS papers?
I've been going through ArXiv a lot lately, and I realized a really nifty feature would be to provide a selection of 'you might also be interested in..." papers. In academia you usually follow the train of references to find other similar papers, but I'd be interested in something that also shows more ...recent... papers, as papers can often be outdated by the time they are published.

If there's no such service you can think of, would anyone find such a site/service useful? As in, "You upvoted 'Aligning Books and Movies: Towards Story-like Visual Explanations by Watching Movies and Reading Books'[1], you might also be interested in 'What's Cookin'? Interpreting Cooking Videos using Text, Speech and Vision'[2] " kind of thing?

That turns out not to be the whole story.

Hiding the technique to compute the hash is relying on security by obscurity. Ideally you want a system that is secure even if potential attackers know what methods you're using.
Message boards are still pretty good for finding some genuine internet culture ... just hard to find good message boards. (Need some more interests I guess ...)

The excessive overcommercialization is pretty annoying though. There's only so much content marketing spam I can take ... Gonna have to go back to reading books soon.
Well, think about it. People would consider it very strange to order a vegetarian pizza with ham in English, too.
Yes. Ideally you want users to be able to remember their pass-phrases. To do so usually implies significant internal structure and/or correlations, so to get the necessary entropy they will be large. The fact that they hash to the same value as other things is effectively irrelevant.
I don't see how anyone expected her to actually do this scene without something like this, that seems insane. It's not even the nudity, it's the open and massive set, the enormous cast, the hostility and abuse. I'm pretty sure Lena's done nudity before but this was an incredibly well written scene that would be insane to adapt without this.

Lessons from film-making about working with different ego personalities
I'm not sure if you can count frozen food as "processed food"? If I wash and cook a tomato, I would still count that as an unprocessed food, wouldn't I? So frozen food is still unprocessed in my opinion. Either that or no one except for raw foodists who don't wash their food eats unprocessed food.

And of course: freshly harvested vegetables beat frozen ones.
There are 2 problems:
First, Margherita is tomato and mozzarella, with optional basil garnishment. Period. It's the recipe as it is and as it has always been; if you add an ingredient that heavily belongs to another recipe, you are profoundly altering the original spirit of the first.
Second, garlic is not considered good with mozzarella. As an Italian, I find it really unfit due to the cultural taste I'm accustomed to.

A foreigner ordering margherita with garlic is violating our sense of taste and altering a template that doesn't allow such distorsions.

As a counter example, you can add without problems an egg on a margherita; it becomes a "Bismark pizza", but it's fine since the egg plays well with tomato and mozzarella. Any modification that is an enhancement, rather than a distorsion, is alway welcomed.

> If a woman doesn't want her naked body exposed on camera, that's her right, just as it's mine to make the same decision. There's no story here, just basic human courtesy and respect.

Right, absolutely. The linked article almost seems to realise this half-way through, and then charges on anyway.

The only issue here, to me, is if the CGI nudity is used in an attempt to "improve" upon reality, and continues Hollywood's distortion of what a normal human body is meant to look like. Especially since Hollywood tends to select for what it considers more attractive people generally (e.g. see its awful obsession with casting younger women in older roles), and now even these people might be subject to CGI modification. To a point, I have no problem with particularly attractive people being cast (regardless of gender), but there's clearly a line somewhere and I'm not sure when that line is being crossed.
I think IronPython is the worst of both worlds to be honest.
Do you understand everything about your OS? Your browser? Your user's browsers? Networking? Security?

The short answer is no, frameworks are yet another level of abstraction where some assumptions are made and [ideally] are well implemented/tested.

My long answer would be: try to understand how it works, what are it's assumptions and what does it do differently/similarly to other frameworks; but do not try to understand down to the code, unless you spot and dig for a bug or are interested in collaborate with its development.
Compared to 30 years ago, I think the hobby electronics market has changed a lot.

Partly it's because a lot of the kids who would have been assembling Heathkits in 1980 are now making minecraft mods.

But even without that, there's been a shift in the electronics market. There are high demand, medium demand, and long tail components. Everyone has the high demand components at home. The long tail components aren't in high enough demand to stock in expensive-to-run high street stores, so they can only be mail ordered. The medium demand components are in between - the range is wide enough that people don't have them all already, but limited enough and in high enough demand that a high street store can satisfy demand and make enough money to stay in business.

30 years ago, medium demand components were things like 7400-series logic chips. Today, microprocessors like the arduino have most of that stuff built in, or can be programmed to do it. Nobody needs to go to the shops because they need a positive edge triggered dual D-type flip-flop and all they have at home is a dual master slave JK flip-flop.
Wow, thank you for posting this. Pizza alla Bismarck suddenly transported me back to a very happy place!
I have the same two beliefs and another one:
3) Everything in moderation.

All the things that we belief to "know" today could once again be proven wrong tomorrow. Just because someone claims that butter, coconut oil, bacon or almond meal is healthy, that doesn't mean you have to go crazy with it and eat large amounts of it daily. Or the other way around: just because some people think that dairy or grains are harmful, for a lot of people it may not be an issue at all to eat them every once in a while (at least if someone is able to e.g. eat only one slice of sourdough bread and then not go carb crazy; I'm not).

I just think given the fact how often we've been wrong in the past, it is smarter to decrease risks by not overusing any kind of food group.

This is great advice! A common sub-case of this is not throwing proper error messages/not validating inputs. Without that, users will be stuck when they make mistakes. If you stick your stand that "it works for me", you have lost the opportunity to fix it for others. When you realize that, you would have lost many users.

It's insane for Lena to do the scene, but not insane for her body double to do it?

All your points are low quality.
According to the owners manual for the 747, the most likely answer is that it requires a "D check", which is the 4th major maintenance check on the aircraft and will likely need major repairs. Also there is a modification called the "section 41" mod which is required of this aircraft, but most likely hasn't been done either. They estimate it at 7.5M to do both, and that was in 2005.

Throw in the fact that this thing isn't really that useful to an airline and you can see why the market value is so low.

Also, the manual states:

"Values of most 747-200s have now fallen to scrap level. That is, the intrinsic value of an aircraft is directly related the market value of its engines and any salvage value that can be derived from its rotables"

Which leads me to my last point - this aircraft might not have engines. Usually power plants are listed.

The feature causing the bug in this text is actually an experimental feature that was removed later on from the standard again and weren't really ever used.

The stack actually has a hard limit of 48 entries, but the code ensuring that the limits will be adhered to had bugs.

I see two problems with a VM approach: Font handling is performance critical code. You will have to do lots of input validation for the data that is produced, which actually is the reason for the bugs in the original code. Preventing a VM being exploited through executing it in another VM also seems kind of ironic.

What I think might be a good idea is to convert old formats/format versions into newer smaller formats/format versions inside a VM. This way you will still have speed, backward compatibility and you don't need to write additional input validation.

There is an oversupply of 747s, though not this specific model; my understanding is Boeing hasn't really bothered with true production once the factory became backfilled with them, and that a 747 can be had disproportionately cheaply. Not $1.5M cheap though, not at all...
You're mixing and matching your incredulity. On the one hand, AWS has 40 services. On the other hand, everything is terminated like an EC2 instance... Which really isn't the case.

So, to begin with, most of their services can either be powered down (with chickenfeed storage costs that they could cover as part of the deal) or are outright free. Most things that you fork over money for in AWS can be disabled with some form of networking block. Have code in Lambda? Well, it doesn't get destroyed, it just gets blocked. Have RDS databases or Elasticache? Block access, and perhaps power them down after X time (which saves them to s3, and block storage for AWS's internal use is very cheap - retail s3 is 3c/GB/month). S3 itself also gets your access cut. SES and SNS just stop processing their queues. Things like VPCs and IAM are free to begin with. The costs of keeping these things running behind a block is trivial compared to the overage charges they already routinely waive.

And then we come to EC2... and the story still isn't 'must be terminated'. EC2 instances can be powered down and ELB access blocked, leaving the config all in place and the instance's drive saved to s3 (which is where AMIs and volume snapshots/unpowered instances live). Yes, you will lose data in RAM, but you just get the account holder to accept that the machines can be shut down by AWS, just like already happens with spot instances. If the client opts in to capped pricing, then they can take that into account and design their system around the sudden downing of the instances.

Apropos of nothing much, I spent six months working in Naples, billeted in a run-down coastal resort town some 15km west of the centre, on the coast. There was some adequate pizza, and some truly awful pizza, and at one point we got so sick of the only food options being pizza or pasta that we flew a cook in from England to make us a curry. A local cook was tasked with preparing the rice, which he got wrong.

I suspect that out of the cities, the quality of food drops off significantly, and the range of foods, which was always pretty unimpressive in Italy, certainly drops off. This is going to be true everywhere, of course, but I suspect countries coasting on a reputation of good food suffer this to a greater degree.

> It's not a monad defined as a specific datastructure in your language, but it is a monadic operation... IO in Haskell is exactly an effect type like 'console' in Koka. It is monadic in Haskell, like in Koka. In Haskell it's slightly more awkward because let bindings and function application are pure so you are forced to use monad combinators (or do notation) to combine them, but this is just a syntactic difference not one of any substance

I both agree and disagree, because that very much depends on the domain. From a mathematical point of view, whenever two things are isomorphic, then they are the "same". But from a programming point of view, the two can be very different, as abstractions are psychological interactions with the programmer's mind, and two isomorphic mathematical concepts can psychologically interact very differently with the programmer. Therefore, if I don't have to "think in monads" when working with an abstraction, then the abstraction is not a monad, even if an isomorphism exists between them.

As it has been proven (I think) that any effect can be modeled by monads, you could say that all effects are monadic, and just like the mathematician in the famous joke, that's absolutely true yet absolutely useless. In a programming language, abstractions are defined (and measured) both by mathematical as well as psychological properties.

So I think the difference is of substance because it has vastly different psychological properties (more than just thin syntactic sugar).
Keto isn't suitable for everyone's lifestyle. You don't have to be hungry to restrict calories, just eat foods that are more satiating per calorie. The satiety index is a decent guide. And avoid large carby meals because in my experience the insulin crash causes huge food cravings.
In my experience (in the South, Naples region), the tradition of the food is more important than the actual food. I got so sick of Italian cuisine when I was living in Italy; the range of food available is surprisingly limited. People wrote to their local papers decrying foreign restaurants.
That's disgustingly disturbing.

- What number of QALYs can be calculated for an average worker of other professions, especially those recommended by the 80000 hours site (e.g. QALYs saved by an average "Think tank researcher")?

- Is it even possible to calculate average QALYs in a way to really compare anything meaningful, across the different occupations? If not, why are they here calculated for "average" doctors?
I find the Oculus Rift DK2 with Vorpx (one of several competing pieces of software to play older or not-designed-for-VR games using the Rift) actually kind of spectacular. Elder Scrolls Online works well with it, and the game is an entirely different kind of experience when you're "actually" there. Atwood might be entirely correct about it being far from mainstream, but did anyone think the first consumer VR headsets from Oculus and Valve were going to hit the big time? I assume they'll do well enough to get to the next generation, and that content will improve over time. If you look at videos of people trying the available demos, they're already feeling it... but everything custom made is short, as no major game works directly with VR.

FWIW, the DK2 screen looks a lot better to my eyes with a screen protector on it: it just barely blurs the pixels so there's much less screen door effect than there is out of the box. I've not had the chance to try the newer, higher-res and framerate headsets.
