Thank you for this. So many people online make diet and exercise seem like some silver bullet, and it's fascinating how much it has been accepted as a silver bullet, yet in my experience it was no big deal.

Though I've noticed that most of the silver bullet testimonials come from US citizens. Could be that the standard American diet is way, WAY crappier than most. Where I come from(somewhere in Africa), fast food and sugary foods are for the wealthy, while organic whole foods is for ordinary folk. So maybe I wasn't eating so badly before, that's why I didn't feel the 'magical' effects I read about from US citizens.
How about making smaller laws? First do one abolishing the roaming charges, and don't slow it down by attaching anything else to it. Then do another with the net neutrality stuff.

You make it sound so obvious but there are many many people who still think in these terms. I recently had a comment in /r/science downvoted into oblivion for saying not all calories are created equal.
I'm seeing a lot of reactions that seem to imply the current situation with added sugar is okay, and that this research can be dismissed as being too specific in terms of sample subjects.

Let's be clear, this research is specific, and all it does is add yet another point in a massive cloud of evidence pointing towards the current dietary disaster that is added sugar.

But don't take my word for it, please, do your own quick research on the subject. Look up terms like Sugar+Diet or Sugar+Nutrition on Google scholar. Go through the abstracts, the literature reviews. And stop spreading baseless opinions, especially when it's potentially very harmful to the people reading them.

When you see a comment that poorly defends a valid position, reply by defending it properly, not by pointing out the flaws and/or following up with FUD when you haven't done basic research on the subject.

The article should have been named, "This Is The Enemy: 1 Percenters + Wealth Managers = Your Child's Empty Belly."

The author strapped on the bomb-vest of moral superiority like a devout social jihadist and robbed the readers of Novo Pravda, I mean The Atlantic, of something substantive and maybe even actionable.

I especially like how she used the magic phrase "rule of law" to sanctify what essentially is a gossip piece.

1 Percenters are bored, decadent adulterers? Gee what news, I think I saw a TV show about that called Dynasty. Not as entertaining as its successor, The Jerry Springer Show.

The author assumes those who use the services of wealth managers to have nefarious aims. Maybe some of them do. I bet a lot of people who suddenly found themselves rich - for example, professional athletes - end up wishing they knew a wealth manager, if only to lessen the blow of "obligations the rest of us take for granted."

Lest I forget the tale of Sir Paul McCartney, happily fleeced by the country whose slide into irrelevance he helped forestall by at least a decade.

When the author feels ready to write a quality piece, I humbly suggest she look up her elected representatives and their donors, and start digging there.

A wise man once told me, "if you want to pay lower taxes, take a look at your congressman's tax return - they don't like paying taxes either."
De-identification is perfect for a lot of medical research, where you're looking for general trends, and don't need or want specific patient identifying information sitting around on your hard drive. For example, Mimic-III is a great database for ICU data. You still have patient ID numbers for tracking events involving a specific patient but all personal info is de-identified.

The PHP bashing on this site is untenable. PHP has no intrinsic properties which stop a good programmer from writing elegant code for web applications. It's a tired discussion, I know, but the most you can say is that it's frequently abused. The oft cited "Spectacle of bad design" essay has been credibly rebutted point-by-point by other authors.
Skepticism is fine. But that doesn't mean you can't take someone's advice and just try it. Sometimes it works out, some times it does not. But it's just optimizing what works for "you". This is something you'll never find in a clinical study no matter how good.
Yes and right now the industry is trying to create more and more programmers by pushing schools, promising riches, etc. just like the oil industry has been experimenting with various ways of extracting as much oil as possible.

> If the price of everything increases 10% then the increased cost of living disproportionately affects the poor for the duration of time that it takes for the wages to match the increase.

True.

> Compared to this the amount of debt held is basically trifling.

False.

Let's say you're middle class. You have a house, for which you have a mortgage. You have a car loan. You have credit card debt. You have a steady income, but your debt consumes 40% of your income. Your (non-debt) living expenses consume another 55%. (Your example of the poor person understates your case. Poor people don't have 20% survival margins to start with, so the impact of inflation on the poor is worse than you said.)

Now deflation happens. Your non-debt expenses drop 10%, and so does your salary. But your debt expenses don't drop at all. Now where are you? Labeling your previous income as 100%, your debt still takes 40%. Your non-debt living expenses now takes 55% * 90% = 49.5%. Your total expenses are now 89.5%, and your income is 90%. Your margin went from 5% to 0.5%.

Now, in fairness, as a middle class person, you have much more room than the poor person does to cut your expenses before you hit the edge of survival. Never the less, this shows how bad deflation can be if you're in debt. (Note well, though: The deflation has to be sustained enough to affect your income. If prices drop but your income stays the same, deflation is wonderful even if you are in debt.)
Gobot 0.10 released – Golang framework for robotics and IoT
SMM is used all the time:

Several Intel chipset generations require certain register writes on shutdown (disable busmaster) or they won't _actually_ shut down. Operating systems aren't aware of that. (https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/blob/master/src/southbr...)

UEFI Secure Boot requires "authenticated variables", which can be updated by the OS (after checking authentication, using a signature scheme). UEFI code resides somewhere in memory, so the OS (or ring0 code) could opt to bypass the verification and simply rewrite those variables.
The recommended (but not required) solution is to move variable update to SMM. (https://firmware.intel.com/sites/default/files/resources/A_T...)

Several hardware features are actually implemented in SMM. I've seen SMM-based handling of certain special keys (eg. "disable Wifi" button) where ACPI grabs the event, then traps into SMM using a magic IO port.

Talking about the majority of requests is irrelevant, because the average is greatly skewed. The NSA's bulk surveillance program encompasses few (if any) requests, but almost certainly collects more data than all the lawful requests combined, probably by several orders of magnitude.

I think it's fine to issue a legitimate warrant for the information stored on someone's phone. But then it's up to the authorities to execute that warrant. If the phone is so well protected that the authorities can't execute their warrant, too bad so sad for them. Just because there's no equivalent of a battering ram for digital devices doesn't mean manufacturers should be required to deliberately cripple their products.

I believe Apple should be required to unlock this phone (with reasonable compensation for their efforts), but this is going to be a limited thing as the older OSes fade, since the newer ones can't be unlocked even by them.
I already save the 30 minute trip to the store by ordering online. So all the drone would offer me is to save a few days shipping time (or, back when I lived in the UK, one day. Oh and supermarket delivery is common there too.), which frankly isn't something I'm going to pay much for most of the time. I only drive to the store if I don't know what I'm going to buy and I want to browse in person.
If the HSM gets wiped, via whatever mechanism, you prosecute (successfully) everyone involved for obstruction of justice. At that point they've all participated in a criminal conspiracy to destroy evidence. The m'th hand doesn't have to know that the n'th hand gave the canary key; that changes nothing. You pre-arranged to allow yourself or a collaborator to commit a crime, and (at least) one of them did - everyone's guilty of the conspiracy charge, go directly to jail, do not pass go.

The law doesn't have to - and never does - respect clever CS constructions.
In cities it seems like a good idea. Millions of customers are within drone range in Manhattan. Drop packages on a building's roof, a doorman brings them down to the front desk, there you go. It can take several hours to drive a delivery across Manhattan at rush hour.

As for the range, electric cars mean that batteries are receiving a lot more development and economies of scale, plus people have been working on package switching networks for years already now.

Is it going to happen tomorrow? No. But Walmart can afford to be in it for the long haul.

For many unbanked, getting loans might not always be the highest priority. Just a safe place to park one's money is valuable. Imagine you are sleeping rough on the streets, where do you store your few monetary possessions? If you keep them on your body, they are likely to get stolen. A basic bank account as
Someone1234 describes it, would help.
Yea I didn't think anyone would read this Medium post and was lazy about the Trello board. Filling it out now :)
I did not know about the basic bank account in the UK. What do you need to apply for a bank account? Do you need to provide some form of govt. ID to get it or can you get it any piece of item in a retail store?

In the US a good portion of the unbanked also happens to be undocumented immigrants. There is also the problem of AML/KYC process in the US which has been stricter in the US than in the UK (as you could tell from the UK headquartered banks getting fined by US Regulators -- not saying it is better though) and as a consequence the cost of compliance goes up for the bank. They pass on these costs to the consumer but with an upsell mentality that you had mentioned (increased min balance requirement removes fees, for e.g.) -- this leads to the upper middle class paying nothing and the poor and middle class paying bulk of the fees.

The economist had a very nice article about the cost of being poor: http://www.economist.com/news/united-states/21663262-why-low.... This is a very difficult problem and will be hard to address properly without adequate support from the govt. For example, the govt. could provide easier access to banking license for those who want to serve low-income customers and allow for innovative solutions in this space.
You can use Avian with the OpenJDK class library to produce a standalone executable, in which case java.awt.Robot should work. ProGuard could help to keep the size down.

It would also be possible to implement java.awt.Robot from scratch and add it to Avian's class library. That would give you a smaller executable but require significant effort and a lot of platform-specific code.

The best choice depends on what aspect(s) of a "full blown Java VM" you're trying to avoid: e.g. size, installation complexity, licensing issues, etc.

According to the article, walmart wants to test a drone delivering a package from a truck and then returning to the truck. If that is the case, then they could use an automated truck to deliver packages to the general area first. Then the drone would activate and deliver the package the last few feet to the door. Presumably, if they did something like this the drones would have their batteries charged while the truck was driving to each location.
Their idea is to "tag" assets so that you can transition the assets in the game. So the tutorial assets may be part of the "initial download" tag that tvOS will automatically fetch, but once you're done with the tutorial those can be safely discarded. You rarely need all 10gb of the game's assets at once.

Requiring things of corporations in exchange for the many protections and the enormous power we grant them is considered by many in the US to be socialism, and therefore immoral and unacceptable.
While I agree with you that wheels would be more efficient energy wise the problem there is obstacle avoidance (especially if it travels down a long path that is suddenly blocked and it has to return) (thus maybe it's not as energy efficient except for very direct and easy routes) and thievery. Flying solves both of those issues but is expensive energy wise.

I think we'll see this little by little in testing and, maybe in 5-10 years, one of this laboratory "break throughs" in batteries will materialize and drones will be able to fly very far away and this will become cost effective.

> Inflation is equally bad for people who are owed money

Absolutely.

> by arbitrarily defining one as better than another you're merely siding with debtors over creditors.

Not quite. Inflation expectations are built into the price of lending money; if inflation increases more than expected, lenders get hurt, but they're charging enough interest that they think it fairly compensates them for the risk.

On the other hand, deflation risks are typically not built into loans. For example, many adjustible-rate loans have a minimum interest rate; if the rate of inflation goes below zero, the interest rate will stop at, say, positive 4%. This asymmetry makes deflation worse.

I agree that it is good practice to show attribution, and not directly lie saying you wrote something yourself. However the MIT license doesn't require that.

There are a lot of open source licenses that give more protections to the original author. I have a theory that too many people choose MIT just because it is simple, but don't think through what they actually want from a license.

To be fair, the parent's Pentium-60 was also struggling with playing an MP3 file during that time as well.

Of course. I find it amusing that a machine that we deemed as so powerful (020/AGA) and on which we saw such nice graphical exhibitions isn't powerful enough to run 44KhZ/128Kbit mp3. It's more of a testament of time and Amiga itself (it was powerful!).
Picking a very standard "squashy" British loaf, the ingredients are [1]:

Wheat Flour (with added Calcium, Iron, Niacin, Thiamin), Water, Yeast, Salt, Soya Flour, Fermented Wheat Flour, Emulsifiers: E472e, E481, Vegetable Fat (Rapeseed, Palm), Flour Treatment Agent: Ascorbic Acid

This seems typical of all of them. The only ones with sugar are a couple of wholegrain ("brown bread") ones.

The article cites the safety culture at the company that runs the compared reactor and discusses how they went about deciding what sort of events they needed to plan for. They apparently knew what they were doing in 1968 and did not lean on passing the regulatory minimum (the reports cites later studies of how the plant is situated and the relative lack of damage from the 2011 tsunami).
If I understand correctly, some of each.

I'm not sure where that leaves us in terms of conclusions, though...
In the plumber's case, he's created two kinds of value: one, from his direct labor on jobs, "ought" to be paid out in salary. The other, inherent in the operation of the business itself (markup on equipment sold, face value of service contracts sold, etc) is value created by the business, and profits not retained "ought" to be paid out as dividends to the owner (the owner just happens to be the same guy).

Further, the business could decide to buy the tools, supplies, and provide the plumber's van. In exchange for providing all these supplies (which are deductible for the business), there's a strong argument that the salary due the plumber is less than if he had to provide all those tools himself.

There's a fair amount of flexibility in determining how much of the total is salary and how much is dividends and that's why there's "nothing wrong" with the first example when properly applied. Saying a plumber worked 100 jobs for a penny-per-job is not reasonable, but there is a broad range of reasonable.

To put it in our field, suppose I had the fortune to create the next modest sized thing that was purchased by Facebook for $10MM in cash. Suppose that a team of 2 of us (me and one other) created this over a 1 year period and it was 100% funded by me (no VC, no angel, etc). Suppose that I paid the other person $200K salary for their efforts. How should the remaining $9,800,000 be divided on my tax return? Surely you wouldn't argue that my "salary" was $9,800,000, but rather my salary should be $200K and I should receive the $9,600,000 as non-salary compensation (capital gains in this case, presumably, but not W-2 salary).
