This isn't a binary choice. Parents and advertisers can both take responsibility for what they are doing. Power and responsibility go together. And there's no denying food advertising is powerful; if it weren't, we wouldn't be enduring many billions of dollars worth every year.

The difference is that in the past, technology wasn't up to the task, and so the state had to coerce humans to spy on each other.

Today technology is more than up to the task, and the practice is much more sophisticated and subtle. But the goal is the same, inappropriate knowledge of citizens' affairs and control over citizens and government overseers.

The state within a state may become unassailable.
Thank you for clearing that up. I totally misunderstood.

Under a socialized healthcare regime, every sick person is a problem for the whole society in that we have to pay for it. So, being careless with your health is a crime against the people. If you are in the USA, consider that you have been funding healthcare for some of the worst offenders for decades by paying taxes which fund hospitals. Now with the healthcare reforms in mind, which have itemized your contribution to social healthcare separately from your taxes, take a walk around Walmart and consider all the preventable health issues you see in the crowd. Do you really want to pay for that? I feel like you and I should have the freedom not to, and our collective freedom not to is more important than any individual's freedom to eat and drink his way to costly, lifelong illness.

I don't think it's quite that simple. I was recently with a European friend who had ordered some prints, and she told the front counter she'd ordered A3 size. She knew that the prints she wanted were much smaller than a regular A4 page, and of course 3 is a smaller number than 4, so logically her small prints must be 'A3' size...
I don't understand your first paragraph. It reads to me like "the usual story is 'water is wet' and meanwhile water is already extremely wet."

Clearly you aren't a parent, and I suspect you also have never been a child. It would be handy if what you wrote were true. But children aren't robots, and parents aren't the only people who influence them. The reason that food companies target children in their advertising is that it works to manipulate them.

In some ways this is already underway. Very few of the people in the world have any economic power, and the proportion is shrinking. We have the ability to food all of the world, or at least much more than we do. Mankind has a rich history of moneyed interests letting those with no economic power starve.

The design of grocery stores has actually evolved in such a way as to make it pretty easy for you to shop healthy, though not on purpose. (At least, it did in the US, I don't know if other countries follow the same pattern.)

The standard supermarket layout consists a "perimeter" running around the sides and back of the store, with a "center store" made up of aisles in the middle. Center store is where the shelf-stable, processed and frozen foods go, while fresh/perishable foods -- produce, dairy, meats, seafood, bakery, etc. -- are placed along the perimeter. (More on this here: http://limn.it/all-lost-in-the-supermarket/)

So if you stick to shopping the perimeter and only duck into center store when you absolutely need to, it's not hard to come away with a cart that's mostly fresh foods. It's when your shopping consists mostly of running up and down the aisles of the center store that you get in trouble.

Maybe the solution is to require sorting on the shelves by sugar content. This way not only healthier options will be easier to find but you would need to take a few additional steps to get your high sugar option.

Not a physicist -> My assumption is that this is because x,y,z are just constructs to model physical space. They don't exist and we could just as well describe space with cartisian coordinates or some other system where the dimensions would not be isometric. Meanwhile, as you point out, t as a vector is also itself a convenient model for something, not an actual dimension.

At least the GPG authors seem to be of the opinion that in order to make their programm usable for a larger amount of users, TOFU would be a good idea [1]. I don't see why hiding the trust-building from users is necessarily such a bad thing if it leads to a lot more people using encryption. If you are an expert user, verifying the keys is not impossible for you, even if GPG uses TOFU.

In the end, the current PGP workflow is simply unusable for many people [2]. It might be a good idea to introduce a new and improved encrypted email protocol, but since PGP/GPG are already here and had a lot of developement, why not make them usable for more people? What percentage of your emails are currently sent encrypted? I have currently two people whom I can send encrypted email; 99% of my email is currently not encrypted. I would really love to increase this.

Here's the best writeup on the topic I've found : http://antranik.org/intermittent-fasting/

I usually eat dinner before 20.00, but after that nothing. Water refreshes me in the morning (I stopped with coffee 2,5 years ago and am clean since), although as written in the article above coffee ain't that big deal either.

The thing is that you get used to the "empty" feeling to the point you kinda prefer it, since you're way more focused. I also stopped drinking everything else then water, because it's the only thing that actually clenches the thirst and also supresses the "hunger" feeling (I've put hunger in quotes because actual hunger is being a day or more without food, not couple hours that many modern humans think). A great after effect is also much greater sensitivity to sugar, when you occasionally drink something sweetened like a soda or juice. You won't believe how sweet the drinks are today, when you're drinking just water for a month. This is also why I believe people keep consuming sugary products and are surprised by the amount of it inside - when your taste adapts to sugar all the time, you have no idea and as a result you might even start eating more sugary things to even taste it's sweet.

An awesome benefit is also that you're way way less obsessed with food, because you don't constantly surround your thoughts about it (like for 5-6 meals per day). Just eat 2-3 meals and that's it. Sometimes I even eat at 14.00 if I'm busy or something, not really an issue. The only caveat is to not to pig out in the afternoon. Actually after a while when you're used to being empty more, you won't even want to eat large amounts of food, specially if you're drinking water through the day.

I'm not saying it's the best thing since sliced bread, so as with everything, give it a full go for a month and check the results.

The difference that I see between 3D touch and right click is that one adds functionality to the same input mechanism, and the other adds a new button. Assuming that every action can be done with only standard (non-3D) touches, or only left click, a nontechnical user navigating an app is basically simplified into:

- Touch screen users use the app, and never/worry know the shortcuts that they're missing,

- Mouse (w/ two buttons) users first wonder which button the have to use, then learn to use the left one. They stick to clicking that leftmost button, but occasionally look, confused, at that other button.

(Ignoring power users with the assumption that they get used to either.)

On the other hand (as a counter-point against my own thesis), I've never noticed them shying from cmd, ctrl, alt, fn buttons on keyboard, which seem to present the same issue. Perhaps that's just because keyboards have so many keys already?
I have a separate post on how the ggplot2 charts are generally done: http://minimaxir.com/2015/02/ggplot-tutorial/

Well, that makes the list go up to 3:

Intelligent brain + stereoscopic vision + opposing thumbs.

As you point out in your example, many intelligent species have been observed using rudimentary tools. The conventional explanation is that we must be so much more smart than them, since our tools are much more complex.
My point is that maybe what they lack is not the raw intelligence to envision the use of tools, but the dexterity to apply that intelligence to the task of complex tool making.

> [DNA is not known to correlate] with race.

DNA obviously correlates with race. What do you think makes the skin color of black-skinned people black? Or are you claiming skin color doesn't correlate with self-identifying as black, or being identified as black by the rest of the society?

> You can't tell which race someone is by their DNA, because (...) race is a social construct based on appearance, not a biological reality.

So is gender. However, the biological reality is that you can tell which gender someone self-identfies with by their DNA correctly at least 99 times out of 100. How hard it is to believe you can do at least as well (success rate >0.99) with race self-identification? As a data point, some people claim they can do it, and would bet their lifes on results.

> Sure, if you assume from the start that skin color genes are correlated with intelligence genes then it follows that skin color is correlated with intelligence. I'm saying there's no reason to make that assumption to begin with.

Nobody makes this assumption, though (well, except for the sake of argument). There's no reason to assume the opposite either. Science works by formulating a hypothesis and testing it.
Why is 800 billion over the course of 57 years a big ask but 2 trillion over 10 years to invade Iraq isn't? Wouldn't that money be better left with the people that made it? I don't even think there have been a tiny handful of useful spin offs from the Iraq war.

There's been quite a bit of work at securing embedded systems with safer languages (esp Java) or MPU's (esp smartcards). Gemalto's EAL7 JavaCard work, MULTOS, IBM's Caernarvon... all made stuff to enforce strong protection w/ similarly, rough constraints. Usually no MPU although some smartcards had them with some public data on design or proper usage. I recommend the authors dig up stuff on systems like that to find strategies for countering various issues.

Most that I saw handle resource and security decisions via type system, safe transformations to bytecode, and safe handling of that. Fast paths are sometimes implemented in assembler with safety put into HLL or VM interface to that... if vendor felt like it. (shakes head) Where this didn't work, there were coding rules or frameworks for carefully designing and decomposing the system to manually prevent/catch issues. Most do all of this on development machine with target system just blindly accepting or trusted booting a signed binary representing system or apps. Cuz what else can you do with such constraints... (shrugs)

Far as specific hardware or Rust issues, I can't help as I don't work with those.

Apple pokes fun at Windows 10 logo, replaces it with a normal window
I just wrote 18,000 programming language
statements in Visual Basic .NET, in
files with 80,000 lines including
comments, blank lines, etc., compiled
much of it with a command line script
with line

programPath = dq || SystemRoot || ,
'\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\vbc.exe' || dq

and give the rest to the Microsoft
Internet Information Server (IIS)
to compile and run as
Web pages, and it all works,
but, still, I can't make
any sense out of the OP at all.

E.g., my command line compiles
result in a file with extension
EXE. What's in that? Sure,
I have the Microsoft .NET
Framework 4.0 installed, and the
VBC.EXE invoked as above
is, of course, one of the files
in the installation of that
.NET Framework.

When from a command line
I just run that script that
runs that VBC.EXE, I get nice
output showing the command line
options for the program --
simple, direct, explicit, terrific.

So, how do I connect what that
.NET Framework 4.0 VBC.EXE
does with the discussion in
the OP?

BTW: Why use Visual Basic .NET
instead of C#? C# borrows too much
of the old C syntax, and Visual
Basic has syntax more traditional
and more
like that
of Pascal, PL/I, Fortran, etc.,
and I find that more traditional
syntax easier to write and read
and less error prone. But,
likely and apparently,
the difference between C# and
Visual Basic .NET is mostly
just syntactic sugar anyway.

By the way, where does the
famous CLR -- common language
runtime -- enter this picture?

Thanks.
