DJB's hilarious talk on this topic. ("I AM the man in the middle!")
Another good read [1]. Here is a quote from the author of some key papers in favor of cash to certain poor, also the author of some pop articles on the idea:

"If I were an enterprising young researcher looking for an idea and experiments that will prove powerful in five years, I would try to find the stake I can drive into the heart of the cash transfer movement."

He states that giving cash is useful if the person is enterprising, such as trying to start a business, and direct cash is what is holding them back. I doubt this is most poor people, especially in the US. Otherwise, cash is not as useful as other poverty alleviation methods.

Can you give some background on that? Is it because it's already been processed once (by bees), and therefore is less suitable for human consumption?
That's actually what I meant. I edited my title.

But yes. And I kept this article non-technical. But the frameworks that exist are overwhelming sometimes; there's QUnit, Jasmine, Mocha, Chai, Gulp, Grunt, Webpack, Less, Sass, Stylus, CoffeeScript, Babel, Typescript.

These do mostly similar things but each company you work for uses something else and has their own writing styles, architecture and whatnot.

It is actually less useful that sending people to the library. Google scholar is just an index and often points to papers that require a payment (without we knowing if the article is good or not). If instead OP would give a citation then one could go directly to that source.
I find this amusing because I'm generally suspicious of sites that don't include some form of reference to wherever the information was retrieved - perhaps a habit from when I did more stuff in academia. Things don't exist in vacuum except things that are basically pure opinion articles - just about everything else is based on something and should probably be showing it.

Maybe that's just me though.
I don't think it is a dire as Okuyama suggests. If you have ridden in a Tesla you can see (and feel) all of the things that Tesla is learning about being a car company (perhaps more so riding in a Roadster).

Both Google and Tesla have done something that was considered "impossible" (or at least "very far in the future") by the senior leadership of the car industries, that said, just like when the first machine guns made their appearance on the battle field[1], the senior leadership did not appreciate how effective that technology would be in achieving their objectives.

In the case of electric cars Tesla was able to put into production an electric drivetrain with a car wrapped around it. It almost killed them and it was insanely risky. They also managed to convince the high margin market to go for it and tapped into a number of timely themes (energy independence, global warming, 21st century gadgets, Etc.) But now that they have done that, all the car companies have a fully electric car in their designworks. The reason I'm long on TSLA the stock is because I think the Gigafactory is the secret weapon. Someone will buy out the "car" business and Tesla will end up supplying everyone with their batteries. Like Intel capturing the margin from the CPU business, Tesla will capture the margin on the battery business. And you have to replace those batteries regularly, so its like a subscription business too. Pretty genius.

Google put enough computers and connectivity into a car that they could drive it. They mere embraced and extended the technology that Dr. Thrun had been developing at Stanford starting on the DARPA Grand Challenge. They added the enhancement of massive amounts of ground truth data from their mapping project and took it to the next level. But more importantly they convinced the public that self driving cars were not only possible, but desirable.

I don't see them getting into the self driving car business themselves but they have a tasty patent portfolio to license there. And unlike companies that "build to license" they have enough resources to build alpha+ prototypes to further their research. So rather than wait for Ford or Toyota to partner with them (and diffuse some of the licensing revenue possibilities) they keep enhancing that portfolio. But Google car dealerships? Unlikely. I think they learned their lesson on phone handsets there.

Apple is an interesting dark horse. Arguably the best tech design shop on the planet they could conceivably re-invent the car around electric and self driving technology to create a consumer device that redefines the world. But they don't have the 'itunes' hook as far as I can tell. So I consider them a long shot at best.

Equal ≠ the Same: Sex Differences in the Human Brain
I've no intention to address the credit issue, but I think you're getting a little worked up over not much, regarding the mockery part. For example, in /u/dleybzon's comment,

"Since this is a link to my blog post explaining how the visualization was created, I'm not sure if it's necessary to include a comment, but here goes:

"I used BigQuery to query this dataset, and then made the visualization in R using ggpot2. I normalized the data by dividing the total score for that hour of the week by the number of posts posted in that hour. For more info check out the article, or the commented code at the bottom."

I'm unable to see anything that calls for your comment, "As shown above, the quotes from the article itself were written with just as much unnecessary ego."
It makes it harder for the reader to find mistakes and harder for the paper to sensationalize. It diminishes the ability to use a study as either commercial or political propaganda (which is not to say the studies themselves aren't commercial or political propaganda in the first place).

Media outlets want viewership more than anything else and the way to get and keep viewership is to tell people what they want to hear. It's why media outlets always have a consistent "slant"; MSNBC people watch MSNBC because it aligns more directly with their worldview than Fox News, and vice-versa. There is minimal tolerance within the audience for a host or pundit that appears to disagree on important factors.

You'll never see Bill 'O Reilly and Rachel Maddow on the same network, because that network would not have any viewers; conservatives want their conservative beliefs reinforced, liberals want their liberal beliefs reinforced, and both will only consume media that performs that function. Most people are not open to having their beliefs challenged even slightly.

All that said, I do find such articles often do state the university and/or the professors that were involved in the study or studies. Some of it may just be convention established before hyperlinks existed, though in many cases, the actual study is not publicly accessible.

Surely you don't believe that subsistence farming is the maximally productive occupation for every homeless person!

I agree that living in a city is not a “human right”. While, problems 1, 2, and 3 are apparently the most important poverty related problems from your point of view (perhaps because you don't want to pay for them), it's not clear that they are the most important problems causing poverty or homelessness in cities. For example, I have had many years of education, but I have sometimes been unemployed. Without the ability to move or retrain I would have been homeless, but not because I was completely uneducated, or unwilling to work, or unable to learn new skills. I'm sure you recognize that the labor market is dynamic and not perfectly liquid.

Either you unnecessarily assume that the homeless must all be un-, or under-employed because they have no education at all, or prefer to "game the system" rather than work, which is not evidenced, or you don't care that most of them could be more productive in some occupation other then subsistence farming, which is not efficient.

Only if all poverty were cause by ignorance, stupidity, or sloth, would subsistence agriculture be the most productive conceivable use for the labor of all homeless people. This could be true of a few homeless or poor people, but certainly not all. Supposing that we care only for efficiency, and not a bit for human dignity or other peoples' happiness, wouldn't you and I still be better off if we chose to retrain or relocate people so that their skills offered some competitive advantage, rather than remove them entirely from the economy?

On the other hand, we have perfectly reasonable jargon which become needlessly complicated when attempts are made to explain them in simple terms.

Take the concept of a Monad from type theory, for example, which can be entirely explained in a few sentences: It's a type class which requires implementation of a bind function and a unit function. Also, a few equations involving bind and unit must always hold (only a few!). That's it. That is exactly what it is and nothing more (well, aside from the actual type signatures of bind and unit and the actual equations, which would have taken up even less space than this paragraph).

This bit of jargon only becomes complicated when you try and explain all of its implications. But there are infinitely many implications so, at a certain point, you just have to sit back and say, "Well, a Monad is exactly its definition and that's all...and its definition is most effectively expressed in terms of the jargon."

Who is being "unfair and intellectually dishonest"? The idea is not that 'sugar is bad' or 'sugar is unhealthy', but that sugar is bad and unhealthy as it is being used in our current society. I thought this was pretty clear in the first comment. This is why much of the research that comes up uses the HFS for reference levels.

I agree about my laziness (making my own literature review would be a lot of work), however, controlling for total calories as you suggest could be misleading, because sugar provides lots of calories but often does not reduce hunger:

I'd rather live in Houston than New York.

Of course, I'd also rather live in a paper bag at the bottom of a wet ditch than to be subjected to the local culture, politics, and economy of some cities. (Looking at you, DC sprawl.)

You just can't effectively reduce the personal appeal of cities to a single input variable. But in this case, the ratio of living expenses (incl. housing) to median salaries in the usual suspects roundup of job titles provides a clear advantage to Houston.

Public transportation tips toward New York. Compatibility with local culture tips toward New York. Local politics tips toward New York. Pleasantness of the weather barely tips toward Houston. Non-homogeneity of the populace is a wash. Lower crime rate goes to New York. Availability of tasty food is a wash. Public politeness goes to Houston. Lighter tax burden goes to Houston, big time. On public education, I don't even know.

You can attach an a la carte dollar value to each of the attributes of a city, and sum them up to get a rough desirability value. That's essentially the answer to the question "How much extra would I be willing to pay to live in this new place instead of where I live now?"

You can establish a base value by adding differences in salary and expenses. Then you assign a value to all the subjective things, like being able to buy corn on the cob from a street vendor, or being able to escape the urban sprawl for weekends and vacations. How much is it worth to you to have the option to not drive a car, or to easily find a parking space when you do? How much would someone have to pay you to have neighbors that freak out when they see a dandelion on your lawn? How much would you have to be paid to put up with heavy pollution, or a torturous commute? Add it all up, and the highest-valued city is where you would probably be happiest.

Depending on your preferences, the presence or lack of zoning might be a single factor that could cause you to prefer one city over another, but probably only to the extent that it affects your monthly housing expenses.
I don't know which chip OP is using but no you can't. It is usually a small CPU which is part of the GPU video decoder that is used as the 'boot' processor. It usually executes first level ROM code and fetches the first stage boot loader from flash, USB, etc.

It can also do PMU control when the machine is 'turned off'. The alternative is to use an external microcontroller. It is actually quiet useful.

With all the discussion going on here, I would like to pop up a quick question:

How can one go about learning about nutrition?

I have tried many, many times to do this, but I always run into these problems:

1: I can't find a "big picture" overview of the field, and thereby learn which areas to focus on

2: Most of what I find seems to be anecdata, or poorly constructed studies "We followed these 7 people..."

3: The rest of which I find is always biased by what the author is trying to promote - Low Carbs! No Carbs! Water! Fruit fruit fruit!!! and suffers from points 1 and 2 above...

I would really like some good recommendations for books on learning nutrition science. From the ground (coffee) up.

Think about the type of person motivated to do something like this. They probably aren't happy, they probably lack self esteem. This is a way to validate themselves.
