A big, juicy beef steak is gluten free, and so is the sunny side egg on top of it and the bacon. I like gluten-free! :)

My wife brought home some Glutino brand crackers. They are delicious. (Neither of us care about "gluten free").

If you want to really sock it to the gluten-free movement, you can buy fried gluten in a can. This is an import item you can find it in Chinese grocery stores.

See here:

Scroll down a bit.

I've known about and eaten this stuff long before the silly gluten-free fad; not a knee-jerk reaction or anything!

I've also known about people with gluten issues long before the fad. I remember a co-worker telling me about her sensitivity to wheat circa 1991 and that it was the gluten. She was not self-diagnosed either. There was no reason not to take her seriously; though I hadn't heard of it before, it was entirely plausible to have an allergy to a protein in wheat. Today, most of the people who think they have a gluten problem are making it up, and that's what supports "gluten free". However, it's probably helpful to those people who do have the allergy --- assuming the foods are even for real. Half of them probably have gluten! Is this "gluten-free" designation even regulated and enforced?
This also happens on iOS with spotlight. As far as I can tell there's no way to turn it off.

Or, better yet, actually recycle that junk to build spacecraft and such. One of the biggest expenses of maintaining any sort of orbital infrastructure in the short term is the cost of sending raw material to space, but with all the raw material already floating around in space doing nothing but being a hazard to spacecraft, that could be readily solved.
If people slurp data from a single source they can have that data easily be made "free" by the network providers, and so are then sold back to again.
As time goes by, computer software begins to feel more and more hostile to the user. When I installed Windows 10, all the privacy settings made me feel like I was wrangling a beast rather than setting up something that would help me.

I don't know if there's any solution or if privacy is just a remnant of the past. Is Linux any better? And is there any way to own a smartphone which is built not to leak my information, either through the operating system or through 3rd party apps that request access to everything on the phone?

It is a dense and difficult paper. I've made 5 attempts to summarize what I think they're saying and deleted them all, which is a reflection of both my lack of understanding and the difficulty of the underlying concepts.

As best I can make out, they're saying that electromagnetic phenomena depend more on chaotic subatomic processes than on the purity or exact configuration of a material's crystalline structure, and they know this because high-resolution observations at a range of temperatures and pressures correlate nicely with a particular set of theoretical predictions.

This might be significant in that you could optimize for superconductivity by tuning the aggregate electromagnetic characteristics of a material rather than requiring hard-to-achieve structural uniformity at the molecular level.

It seems a bit unlikely that users doing 100 searches a day would also be the same set of users who worry about 12MB of data usage in a month.

For example, even in the Australian market (very low competition environment), 12MB of data via 4G is trivial.

The start menu is a combination web-search and local search. How could it not 'phone home' on a web search? Note the address it is 'phoning home' to is Bing.

As far as what the contents of the package being sent is, I'll assume it is more information than necessary, and probably over-reaching until they get a slap on the wrist, but to call this phoning home is probably a stretch in itself.

-- Edit --
Apparently the search still phones home even if search is disabled, which makes my point mostly... pointless.

I still suspect that this was an example of Microsoft (intentionally) over-reaching and that they'll backpedal on this now that it has been brought to light.

Shame is, it feels like they are breaking any goodwill that the community may have still had left for them.

The Japanese civilians who are depicted in Fireflies bear no more responsibility for the actions of unit 731 or the rape of nanking than you do for LeMay's fire bombing of Japanese cities. If you can do nothing else, reject the lumping-together of a people into a collective 'they.' No matter what punishment Japanese war criminals deserve, we must also strive to protect civilians on all sides.

> 7. As to exercises? Try to use excercises that the student might have some immediate interest in, or can use in their daily life? For example, instead of some cute game example, show the student how a simple reminder application is programmed? How Google works?(just the basics). Or, how their spellcheck program works?

Yes! I agree wholeheartedly. I took an intro to CS course at UBC which is similar to this (I talked about it in a comment thread above) and this was a big thing I loved about having new exercises created specifically for that course. I got to create space invaders (I found that super fun), newer years create a snake game. In addition, I created a simple graph crawler which used Google a lot as a way to tie in what we were creating with what Google does. Now, they create part of a client-server application which resembles Twitter or an IM program. We also created a minmax algorithm for pawns which was really cool since it showed how an NPC could ostensibly be made in a game, although that has been dropped since. It's all really cool examples that simplify something that exists in real life, and really helps engage students a lot more.

One problem with a lot of processed foods is the removal of soluble fiber which if present slows down the digestion of carbohydrates (glucose). Another problem is many processed foods contain added free glucose and fructose.

The result of eating these foods are very high glucose levels in the blood + insulin levels which interferes with metabolic signaling. Insulin tells your body to store glucose as fat. Insulin inhibits leptin receptor signalling which means your brain loses the ability to sense how much fat your body is carrying around.

Fructose in large amounts is hepatotoxic, just like alcohol. In fact for the same metabolic reason as alcohol.
Is there any schedule for when that'll be worked on? It's a big thing I'm waiting on for porting some UI toolkit work to Rust.
Joel Spolsky's Strategy Letter V is something that I think is interesting in this Sun conversation

> Sun is the loose cannon of the computer industry. Unable to see past their raging fear and loathing of Microsoft, they adopt strategies based on anger rather than self-interest. Sun's two strategies are (a) make software a commodity by promoting and developing free software (Star Office, Linux, Apache, Gnome, etc), and (b) make hardware a commodity by promoting Java, with its bytecode architecture and WORA. OK, Sun, pop quiz: when the music stops, where are you going to sit down? Without proprietary advantages in hardware or software, you're going to have to take the commodity price, which barely covers the cost of cheap factories in Guadalajara, not your cushy offices in Silicon Valley.

By keeping Google as one, presumably around search, Google has a shot at avoiding the same fate.
When an entire nation becomes a support system for a war machine ravaging an entire region and killing tens of millions of innocent people, the notion of "innocent civilians" becomes a bit tenuous.

Japan was in the wrong. It was a criminal aggressor. The idea that the Japanese people should be able to sit back in their admittedly lovely gardens and sip sencha tea while their armies were committing massive crimes against humanity is a grotesque notion. The best way to show the Japanese people the horrific nature of war and occupation was to bring it to their doorstep. If they want to portray themselves of victims, it should be of their own leadership, not the countries that needed to defeat them.
I wish I could run, but 1) it hurts - and not in a good way 2) it's extremely boring. The only thing that's kind of fun is running up hills.

The nice thing about running is that you can pack a decent amount of exercise into a relatively brief period of time, and at least you're outside. Gyms feel like gerbil wheels to me.

What I really love to do is ride my bike, but that takes more time and better conditions.

Italian flour has gluten. Gluten is the stuff that makes the dough rubbery so you can stretch it out with your fists. Pizza flour has less gluten than some other kinds, so that the elasticity is lower, which lets it be stretched flatter with greater ease, with a less of a tendency to shrink back. But the gluten is there, nevertheless. Without this gooey protein, it would probably tear and fall apart. (Imagine trying to roll out a pizza crust made out of nothing but starch and water.)

Anyway, I've confirmed this. I've disabled web search and all of the other privacy options I've seen with Windows 10 during and after install. As soon as the first character is typed into the Windows 10 search box, the request goes out to www.bing.com. It doesn't say what you searched for (as the request happens before you complete the search), but it does send a lot of info to Microsoft about your platform, including a unique identifier.

There is much more to the story. The history of the United States is full of wilful violence against others. Everything from theft of the south-west from Mexico (a war the US instigated and started) because "God has given us a 'manifest destiny'" to the barbaric atrocities we unleashed during the Spanish-American and later Philippine-American wars (the US has tried very hard to whitewash the concentration camps, rape, and wholesale butchering of men, women, and children).

America forced Japan to open it's borders (because the US wanted to use their lower islands to establish a more efficient trans-Pacific trade route). At that point, Japan realized that the game in Asia and the South Pacific was colonize or be colonized. Had we not invaded Japan for US trade route profits, had we not been demonstrating that colonial imperialism was the way forward, then Japan would have been far less likely to be pressured to behave similarly (the actions of all sides leading to an inevitable war no matter who fired the first shot).

I have no rose-colored view of Japan's actions (my adoptive grandmother and her parents spent most of the war being terribly mistreated and starved in a Japanese concentration camp). At the end of the war, most of these men were executed for their crimes, but despite all the well-known American war crimes, not even one American soldier was charged for crimes committed and everything was hidden behind the American flag.

In 'Grave of the Fireflies' a war is occurring, but is not the focus. It didn't matter to those children who the 'enemy' was and it didn't matter who the 'friendlies' were (neither side was willing to help them when they were incapable of helping themselves). It didn't even matter that the war ended exactly one week before Setsuko died.

I agree with the author that it was premeditated murder, but the murderer was not the US or even Japan. It is every one of us who are unwilling to stop this from happening in the here and now. WW2 is a fading memory, but the innocent casualties of war are not.

You paid for the hardware and the OS that shipped with it.

Something's got to fund it - things like pushing more of Apple's online services, gathering user data etc provide some ROI to Apple.

Your comment was going so well until that last sentence. Yes, the Japanese government committed atrocities. But I have a hard time seeing how that somehow justifies the US killing hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians that had nothing to do with it when Japan was basically begging to surrender. Yes begging to surrender, but the US only wanted unconditional surrender, which they knew to a society based on pride and honor was a huge slap in the face and they knew it would be turned down.
I think you're right. I've been thinking lots about what exactly it is that I'm averse to doing.

The coding part - yep that's fine - I've worked with game engines before, I'm familiar with Unity and have dabbled in UDK. If someone else gives me something to implement ("go make this character walk") I know where to start and I can get right into it. When it's someone else's game and things are plotted out, it's much easier.

I love working with the technology, I love working with artists. I feel that the scope of challenge in game programming is unmatched. I love how it requires knowledge from so many different fields, from physics to storytelling.

Yet when I'm doing it from scratch, when I have to come up with a game from nothing, that's when I get stuck circling around nothing. Yours and the other comments are right though - I just need to pick something and stick with it. Maybe I'm just putting too much emphasis on trying to have a crystal-clear vision before I start; maybe I should trust the creative process more.

Maybe I'm a fine game programmer, but just not a game designer. Which saddens me in a little way - I want to be independent. If I can't come up with a game on my own, like the Notches of the world, does that mean I'll always be stuck working for someone else? Does that mean I'll never be successful?

Hmmmm....

These are the kinds of things I'm thinking.
Ask HN: Routers that are secure out of the box?
My apple router just broke due to a power surge. I've searched HN and apparently Linksys, Netgear, Asus and TP-LINK all have had decently-bad vulnerabilities/back doors, at least in the past. There's also discussion of open firmware but I don't want to have to maintain that.

Is there a safe router I can get that works out of the box or should I just stick with apple?
Does it though? All of spotlight's extra functionality seems to work even with wifi turned off. Even things like currency conversion rates seem to be stored locally.

It isn't fundamentally easier to control an arm than a tentacle; That is human intuition based on the fact that we have arms. Limiting the number of degrees of freedom is something done at the level of experimental design for the production of chemical libraries. DNA is already a programmable medium for nanorobotics, and skilled genetic engineers can do atomically precise peptide biosynthesis for the sake of NMR spectroscopy. It does not seem as though you are informed of bionanotechnology in the present.

On the other hand, Semco is an example where this kind of thing worked really well. Their model of empowering employees, allowing innovation and splitting the company into a large number of micro-businesses had dramatic impact and turned the company around.

Maybe the differences is that they did this to encourage diversification and innovation, not to manage it.

My questions are 1) how is this legal, and 2) what kind of agreement was forged with the credit card providers to make this possible?

Of course it is legal. Credit card companies have had agreements in place to share information like this for years. In some cases it isn't anonymized either. Acxiom[1] is probably the best known company working in this area.

> Yes begging to surrender, but the US only wanted unconditional surrender, which they knew to a society based on pride and honor was a huge slap in the face and they knew it would be turned down.

Arguably, the US was right. If I understand correctly, the US was determined to break Japan's militaristic social organization, to prevent another war. They needed unconditional surrender to do so. And, in fact, Japan has not been aggressive after World War II. They didn't re-arm and start another war, with hundreds of thousands of more (at least) casualties.

So the moral calculus is really not as simple as what you say.
So, no "OK Google" any more on Android. It's "OK Alphabet"!

> You must see with eyes unclouded by hate. See the good in that which is evil, and the evil in that which is good. Pledge yourself to neither side, but vow instead to preserve the balance that exists between the two.

As a statement, it sounds poetic at first, and the first two sentences are absolutely perfect; however, there's something very wrong about the notion of "preserving the balance", and I've seen that notion show up elsewhere as well. Evil should not persist out of any sense of balance, and nothing goes horribly wrong with the world if evil ceases altogether.
