>The proposed changes have been strongly opposed by the food industry as unscientific. The Sugar Association, a trade group, said the F.D.A. was “making assertions that lack adequate scientific evidence,” and the Grocery Manufacturers Association criticized the standards the agency used to establish the daily value as being “inadequate.”

The way I see it (my background is Austrian economics), the poor and the homeless are people who cannot afford to live in a city. City-living isn't a right, it's for those who can afford it. No one is owed anything for not having enough money to live in a city.

That means in general I am against helping the poor and the homeless stay in the city, since the point of city is to be a wealth-creation center, not a welfare experiment.

You say you have been homeless. I'd like to ask you what you think of my idea: instead of giving the homeless shelter in the city, and having them drain resources from people who produce wealth, meanwhile not producing anything, why not give them a cheap house in a small farmland with some chicken or turkey, rabbits, a vegetable garden, etc?

That way we solve many problems. 1. the poor are now productive, they produce their own food instead and don't need to drain other people's resources to have food and shelter; 2. they are far from the city, which won't encourage laziness by sending people a message that they can't try and game the system by getting help while still living in the city as a non-producer; 3. it will teach these poor people good work ethics and how work is necessary for everyone to survive, and that they can't just rely on the fact that other people work.

I'd say that besides the farm life, they should have good public libraries nearby in case they want to learn something in order to be able to later join the city life again, this time as a productive member.

Am I being inhumane for trying to make producers out of every human being, and for thinking even the disabled can help pick fruit from bushes or wash them or otherwise contribute in a communal farm setting? Would you be for a program to send the poor and the homeless to farms and basically instate a rule where you can't live in a place you can't afford?
I think you're right when thinking about CNNs on words. It's max-pool that's usually combined with CNNs that helps with translational invariance, less so the CNN filters themselves (which, if it were a full convolution, would show up in the complex phase).

I think it makes more sense when CNNs are applied at the character level. The filter banks then activate for specific n-gram patterns of characters, like certain prefixes, suffixes, and root words. The higher level LSTMs are then relieved of having to understand that level of structure. Also, tokenization is hard, and might be especially wrong for media with grammatical abuse like Twitter, and this avoids that janky preprocessing. See: http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.06615

I can assume some food processing plants that do tofu dogs also are big enough to do regular dogs or other products. Which means you can expect a few molecules of "cross contamination" even with proper washing procedure like with peanuts. As a vegetarian this doesn't bother me in the least, its to be expected. Nobody can avoid microscopic consumption of non-vegetarian items. It's the same with those microscopic shrimp in the water in NYC. Probably the same for the food I cook at home because I cook meat for my spouse in the same bowls/pans.

Now if they were to say, 5% chicken, that's an issue.

Wanted to chime in as a vegetarian.

[That being said there WAS issues years ago of non-vegetarian gelatin being labeled as vegetarian. There was no possible way that was a mistake, it was straight up gelatin.]
I define "fuck you money" as having sufficient income that you don't need to work any particular job to pay all your expenses, or even be careful about not burning bridges. If you have "fuck you money", when you get the memo about the new TPS report cover sheets for the 5th time, you can literally say, "Fuck you: I quit," and walk away.

The exact amount required depends largely upon your expenses and lifestyle. If you are fine with living in a van down by the river, it might be only $100k. If you like things like showers and flush toilets, you may need $1M. Think of it like a suspended early retirement. If you are working, it is because you want to, not because you need to.
I really like that you can write html tags inline. Do you know which "flavor" or extension does this?
They'd have the ability to pick all of them. Contempt of court to all unless one agrees.

In which case you make the tool require anonymous treshold signatures in where at least m of n technicians must issue the order.

So that if n-(m+1) or more technicians refuse to cooperate, the request fails and you don't know who is innocent and who made the choice to break it.

Unless of course everybody are forced to hand over their keypairs and all - in which case you go yet another step further and give them canary keys which then cause a lock-down (the HSM could even wipe its secret keys completely in this case), and you still don't know who did it.
> However, I don't believe you can add a (new) server to a backend via the stats socket.

Yes, though a bit of advanced planning and creative configuration can usually work around this limitation.

Making the assumption that new servers and services occur within a predictable range of IPs and ports (or have their own haproxy to route within the server), you can create a list of backend servers which are all disabled and just waiting to be individually enabled.

I've done this in the past, and the disabled server entries never seem to have a negative impact on HAProxy. It also has the advantage that you can set your HAProxy instances to peer with each other, so the change only has to be made once to propagate to connected instances.
I've just built this great PostgreSQL Database. How do I get it to my users?
Envelope is designed to completely replace the middleware that sits between your web server and your PostgreSQL database. It does this by exposing your database, documents and other actions via a fixed API. You can publish your Envelope apps to the web or just your local network easily by configuring it behind NGINX or your favorite web server.

All security in Envelope is handled by PostgreSQL by using PostgreSQL ROLEs. This greatly simplifies the security model. Users log in to Envelope through a web interface and get an encrypted cookie, then whenever they attempt to access something, Envelope uses their PostgreSQL user name and password to log in to the database and see if they have permission. PostgreSQL will either answer the request or error depending on if they have permission to the database objects involved.

Car designer warns on Google game changer
Forgive me for being a little skeptical but can you show us a screenshot of the "toast shape" done in Adobe Illustrator (showing the guide lines, please)? (I'm changing the challenge a bit because just dragging the top line isn't the same as bestowing the top corners with guides and this challenge now necessitates the guides):

http://imgur.com/UbcUfMu

And make sure to tell us how long it took you. In SVG Path Builder the toast shape above took me 10 seconds, and it never gave me grief by trying to curve the sides, while still giving me the guides for each of the relevant corner nodes. Drawing that in Inkscape is just as easy. Same for CorelDraw.

If you can manipulate the guides of your corner nodes and have them affect only the top side, then you've succeeded in making those two top corner nodes cusp. I have never seen anyone online showing cusp nodes in Illustrator.

I completely removed added sugar from my diet for the past 6 months. It is hard to describe how my life changed.

I am much better at swimming, less tired, I eat a lot less. I lost weight the first 3 months and now my weight is very stable.

Cutting added sugar is not very hard but it requires some willingness.

The food producers put sugar everywhere: bread, red beans, smoked salmon, yogurt, etc. You just need to read the ingredients to avoid it. You will quickly learn which type of product is ok and which type is not.

Today I am more attracted to a fruit than a cup cake or an ice cream, and it feels good :)
The idea that the poor are just too stupid to know how to work is insulting. And 'transporting' folks is what they did to criminals in Britain in the bad old days (usually to Australia).

The point of a city isn't anything like what is suggested. Its a place where a lot of people gathered to live. Some got squeezed out as prices and the job situation changed rapidly. Blaming them is pointless.

I don't think this plan will get much traction.

Many places with declining GDP still have great internet because it's just not that expensive. Also, bandwidth's utility is generally a log function.

Another thing that changes this equation is the rise of the Internet. Nowadays it is much easier to create a community of people interested in a particular language, so it is not just a matter of a group of people in a geographical region speaking the language. It just takes a committed family of latin speakers to raise kids that have latin as their first language, and I don't think this is terribly difficult to do in the modern world.
And there is much debate about what "fair" means.

If by "fair" you mean we all pay a roughly equal amount, then I'm cool with that.

I honestly don't understand the purpose of re-inventing every existing shell tool using NodeJS. I'm certainly not against re-creating (as opposed to re-inventing) a better/more fit-for-purpose/whatever "wheel".

I feel all this hype about fps is highly overrated. As a gamer, I probably get a moment of 'wow' for the first twenty minutes of playing a game and noticing things like grass, sound, and fps, but then the marginal differences become second place to the content of the game itself.

Here is a link to the actual journal article on the study, since the NYTimes omitted it for some reason (currently free to access):

PDF:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.21371/pdf

Lustig, R. H., Mulligan, K., Noworolski, S. M., Tai, V. W., Wen, M. J., Erkin-Cakmak, A., Gugliucci, A. and Schwarz, J.-M. (2015), Isocaloric fructose restriction and metabolic improvement in children with obesity and metabolic syndrome. Obesity. doi: 10.1002/oby.21371

As an aside, it's very strange that the article is not cited in the NYTimes post. A journalist should at least give the DOI at the bottom if there is not a link to the article in the body of the text.

Edit: I left this same comment on the NYTimes article and the text now links to the journal (though my comment was not approved). Seems like a win! NYTimes editorial staff: thank you!
