I don't know... it would be pretty difficult to argue "sugar good" as a lifestyle/diet change. BTW, there are plenty of studies that prove this.

EDIT: Don't want to say 'prove' but would mostly purport the argument that "sugar bad".
It's just a guess.
The short answer is that there is a plethora of software level issues that are much easier to exploit, so people don't bother with hardware bugs.

Does this mean we should stop worrying about hardware bugs? I don't know the answer to this question. A principal engineer in the group that does Intel's hardware security validating and pentesting told me that they felt their job was to maintain the status quo of hardware bugs being harder to exploit than software bugs. More security than this is probably not justified from a risk vs cost analysis perspective; while less security than will probably break a lot of assumptions that people designing software make.

Tell that to companies lost revenue thanks to faulty QoS at the hands of ISP.

League of legends had customers receive a latency increase from about 40ms in average to 3-5 seconds during a period of about 6 months, which was caused by faulty QoS code by a top 3 ISP in Sweden. Is that fair competition?
I just watched a documentary [0] about sugar last weekend and they also compared it extensively to the tobacco industry. The sugar industry is just trying to spread enough FUD ("doctors agree, smoking is good!") so that while none of them can definitely prove that sugar is harmless, they can at least make sure that there isn't a common consensus on the issue which prevents further action.

Oh, and the "adequate scientific evidence" that they are looking for is something absurd like a study where you would give kids sugar and follow their daily lives for 40 years and then see if it has negatively impacted their health. We don't even have that strong scientific evidence against tobacco to date.

I'll quote part of your quote, because it's interesting:

> We did not believe that maintaining fructose at the same level, even within a study, is commensurate with the message that the change in macronutrient composition is important for their health, and in order to use the study as an “educational moment.”

This is a very bad excuse to avoid a control group. There are many unknown factors that are difficult to estimate. For example: Did the children also change the fat consumption because a doctor was going to examine them in a few days? Did they change some habits, like walking to medical center instead of no walking? I can invent a few more, because it's very difficult to guess the baseline and the changes in the subjects.

To be sure that "the change in macronutrient composition is important for their health" you need a scientific study. And to be sure that the study is reliable you need a control group.
> 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?

I have been homeless, it's not something I just say.

I disagree with your entire post. It's based on this false assumption, "the point of city is to be a wealth-creation center, not a welfare experiment".

Definition of a city: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City "A city is a large and permanent human settlement.[1][2] Although there is no agreement on how a city is distinguished from a town in general English language meanings, many cities have a particular administrative, legal, or historical status based on local law."

Nothing in there mentioned wealth, or welfare. Remove that personal bias/motive from your proposal and your proposal very quickly falls apart.

That is before one would progress to the more offensive part of your argument: That those with money and wealth have more right to live in a city than those without. That those who work in lower paid industries have less of a right than those in higher paid industries.

It seems horribly convenient as a concept, that you could put the poor and homeless on buses and drive them out of your sight.

Nah, it's just the end of the world "as you know it", but there'll be something afterwards.

It's like equality of citizens. Citizens, or people are NOT equal. Citizen are equal before the law. Only the LAW doesn't (should not) discriminate people, but treat all the same. (Of course, this in itself is dubious, given that laws can have increasing level of specific cases, just like a program, and finally provide a very personalised treatment).

It's like perpetual movement devices. There can be only increase of entropy, inside a CLOSED system. But as far as we know, the only system that is closed, is the whole universe (and EVEN! It's not that sure, there are theories of communicating multiverses). Therefore you can easily have a system (not closed), that will exhibit more energy output on one channel than input on another channel (since it's not closed, it obviously also has other input channels).

CMake has been a huge improvement over autoconf and over visual studio projects/solutions for me. I have a repeatable and multiplatform build system with CMake. Autoconf seems like the ugly and old bastard brother of CMake in comparison, and that's praising autoconf.

However I don't know if CMake is really the best fit to build html projects. In fact, I don't know what should be built about them... my composer scripts barely copy some JavaScript and CSS files to the public/assets folder, nothing fancy like what CMake has to do.
In a sort of similar notion, this is a really interesting read on how large crowds of humans behave like a liquid:

A new session of Andrew Ng's Machine Learning class (a version of his Stanford class) starts at Coursera on Monday. It's a quite manageable introduction to the field, with some hands-on programming involved. There's just the right mix of math and theory in there, with some refresher material for some of the math.

It's as good a place to start as any, and the benefit of a scheduled class is that you'll have a community doing the same work at the same time to help you out.

It does mean they aren't even close. If your situation doesn't meet the criteria of slavery, then you aren't a slave. You may not be completely free, but you aren't a slave.

You don't seem to be fully understanding of what slavery is. There is also a legal category. Slaves have no rights, they could not avail themselves of protections against abuse. Also there is a ownership / fungibility aspect, you can buy slaves on a market. This is what separates serfdom from slavery.

The basic idea of slavery is that an entire country, state and nation, participates in psychological and legal domination of subject people. If that's not happening, then what you're looking at isn't slavery. Human trafficking isn't slavery, the main difference is that it's a group of people that are surreptitiously creating a regime where people can be traded and not an entire country. One may call human trafficking "modern slavery", and people being trafficked as "slaves", because it is, after all, an abhorrent practice.

But slavery doesn't exist in the world any more and to say otherwise demeans the numerous armed conflicts humans have fought all over the world to end real slavery. People are not permitted any more to openly treat humans as cattle and expect the law to respect their 'property'. Not even North Korea could get away with instituting slavery, though one could speculate on whether slavery would be better for the people in their gulags now.

You can look at a particular criteria on a spectrum and draw a line. But we have better words to describe what happens when you remove criteria. There is a rich lexicon of terms we can employ to describe removing freedoms from people. Slavery becomes serfdom when you remove fungibility. When you remove state-participation, it's called human trafficking. When all it is is one person forcing another person to keep working, it's called forced labor.

The modern employment social contract is in no way, shape or form anything like actual slavery, to call it such is to misrepresent both employment and slavery.
"Another developer who preferred to remain anonymous, out of concern for damaging their relationship with Apple, looks at it differently."

Hilarious to me that if you even softly criticize Apple you have to do it anonymously in fear of retribution. Must be an awesome company to work with.

Restify is pretty popular (for node.js), slim (for php), or Sinatra (for ruby) but I think a lot of developers just don't need much from an API framework, so they pick the most minimal framework available, or none at all.
I'd like to add that most high impact journals limit how much you can write which causes a lot of the complexity.

If the science isn't good enough then it won't get published. And if it's too simple then by default it won't get published.

So now you have complex science that can be well elucidated by someone who can write well except that the word count limit is half of what you need. Complexity ensues.

The journal then pushes back and says "x isn't clear enough." So then you have to make it clearer but still stay within the word count limit. Other things then need to be optimized.

Amazon adds UI for building CloudFormation templates
it's cool, I guess, but I don't really get the point. You still have to edit properties in JSON. Not a big deal, but if anything it's less flexible than using something like Troposphere. I was hoping there would be an actual UI to make it more obvious what property combo's should be used in conjunction, etc... without having to pour through the documentation.

It also took about 2 minutes to load up a giant existing template, and the visualization was basically un-usable.
Most readers are not on university networks and so would not be able to read the study anyway, except in rare cases of open access journals.
A friend of mine was in a similar situation as Reay. He had no addictions, and no psychological problems, but ended up homeless.

He used his remaining 2k to purchase a 1 year membership at Chelsea Piers sports club. It turned out to be the smartest way he could have used that money. Chelsea Piers is an enormous facility with 20 showers, locker room, huge lounge area with Wifi and couches. He hung out there for most of the day, worked out, learned php, took some freelance web development gigs, got enough experience and knowledge to eventually move on to a full time programming job. In a few months he saved enough money for an apartment in Queens.
It's a shame they lose so many good agents out in the field.
But vaccine producers can also point to a long list of independent studies to underline their arguments. Probably there are also some studies that fail to find any correlation between high sugar intake in kids and negative health signals.

But I doubt those are very many or very thorough studies.

Why? They're tracking to a likely $18+ billion in sales in the next four quarters. That's obviously an extremely substantial business.

By comparison SAP is Europe's largest tech company and does $21 billion in sales. Facebook will surpass them within eight quarters (at a mere ~14 years old as a company).

> They are here, they aren't changing, and no, you cannot do anything about women equity in tech without changing the values that are ingrained in human culture.

It does sound like you are advocating for changing traditional gender roles. Maybe you think there are other benefits to doing that beyond increasing tech adoption for women? All I'm saying is that there are positives associated with existing gender roles and working so hard to change them while ignoring the negatives that will come about doesn't seem wise.
Police authorities executing a warrant do do that, yes. They'll collect everything they can during the seizure, as far as Nightline tells us, then spend their time combing through it all looking for their smoking gun.

When some people's effective tax rates are lower than the lowest tax band in a progressive tax system it can hardly be claimed that the system is "fleecing" them.
The new TLDs allow more expressiveness and creativity. IMO, there should be even more of them. The limitations should be similar to the limitations placed on searchable results: cost, law, preventing harm, etc.

It is interesting to think about why we are limiting the creativity here. Are we looking out for a human being's typical memory? A router's memory? Network capacity? All seem ample to support loads of new TLDs.
As a developer in a newsroom who had no intention of ending up here, it is amazing to see the transition in my industry and just how many companies are eager to hire developers who understand journalism or at least are willing to partner with reporters and editors.

I can't say it's what I expected to be doing but news organizations are in a period of massive change and it's an interesting space to be in.
Why you might want to choose Ceylon
It only defies common sense if you believe more schooling must be better in every way and it is a free lunch.

There is, however, a vein of research (related to the unschooling & homeschooling movements) indicating that too much early schooling can crowd out play and mental development, in which case occasionally you'll see stuff like this (early improvement because of teaching to the test, followed by some loss later on).

To give the most recent example of such research, here's a Danish quasi-experimental study showing increases in ADHD from earlier schooling: "The Gift of Time? School Starting Age and Mental Health" https://www.nber.org/papers/w21610 or before that, I saw "Non-cognitive deficits and young adult outcomes: the long-run impacts of a universal child care program" http:/www.gwern.net/docs/2015-baker.pdf

(Of course, it could just be an artifact of some sort.)

I didn't downvote you, but I disagree strongly. Software is both the most complex and skilled-labour-intensive thing that humanity has produced, and something that needs to be individually commissioned for any kind of real business edge. And it's supply constrained; that's why we're paid better than most of the non-finance economy.

You can't just go down and pump another few thousand barrels of raw software into your Strategic Software Reserve.

Only it ensures no such thing.

There are ten thousand other ways to convict someone who is actually guilty.

This would be an appallingly bad precedent to set.

As soon as there was precedent and infrastructure for this, a huge number of state actors would either set this up maliciously, or start auctioning off country-specific DNS rights (aka start extorting money from companies -- "oh do you want to own google.com in <country>? that will be $2mm/yr").

They should look at the UK instead.

"Basic bank accounts" were a game changer. They're what the US calls "checking accounts" (minus the checks) with them you get a debit card, the ability to pay in, take out, and transfer money; however absolutely zero ability to go overdrawn (no loan, no line of credit, etc).

But everyone could get one, even those who declared bankruptcy, since it was decided that it was not-viable in the 2000s for someone, anyone, to not own or have the ability to own a bank account. Which is right.

Banks make money via the spread between the general interest rate and the lower interest rate offered by the account, in addition to sales opportunities (e.g. offering to upgrade to a full account, savings accounts, small loans, etc).

However in general in the US banks are under-regulated and antiquated. Banking in the US Vs. UK feels like going back in time twenty years, everything is slow, complex, expensive, they charge for a basic checking/current account(!), you still have to physically go to a branch [ever!], transferring money between two banks is annoying, checks still exist, their anti-fraud is pathetic, and they're only getting C&P right now.

PS - Although I am at Wells Fargo so maybe my opinion about US banks is really more Wells Fargo biased than general banking. Maybe there are better US banks, but I don't know who they are.
I have had this discussion so many times. I am pretty sure he means "refined" fructose. I.e. fructose that is removed from it's natural state and put into concentrated form. This is basically crystaline sugar and high fructose corn syrup.

Fructose that appears naturally is not bad for you. The reason is that naturally appearing fructose usually appears with fiber, and it is usually locked in plant cells. The body is perfectly capable of processing this type of sugar. There was a Japanese study where they had people eating large quantities of apples, and their blood tests did not show any of the negative effects associated with large intakes of sugar.

The only naturally occurring sugar one should be weary of is honey.

Also carbohydrates are not sugar by default. Sugar is a type of carbohydrate, but there are other types that are not sugar and should not be confused with it. There are also other sugars (other than fructose) that are perfectly fine. Glucose for example, is not bad for you in any form.

There has been a lot of confusing science done by assuming that all carbohydrates are the same. And while they do have similar molecular structures the way they are processed by the body is very different so they should not be mixed up.
Double blind dietary study? It would be quite hard to fool someone into thinking they are eating cupcakes when they are really eating a bowl of unsweetened oatmeal.

Dietary studies are very hard. There is no conspiracy preventing rigorous studies, they are just really hard. You need a large enough sample, you need to control the subjects very tightly (people don't self-report accurately), and you need to do it for long enough to see if the effects are lasting or illusory.

If you want real science here, we need to change our expectations and think in terms of $10B not $10M. Probably still a good investment in health, comparable to cancer research.

Until that time, what are you using to make your dietary decisions, given there's not much real science behind any of it?
