As I understand it, the process you describe is true of glucose but actually not fructose. Glucose gets absorbed into your blood, causes your pancreas to start releasing more insulin into the blood, which causes basically all the cells in your body to start absorbing glucose.

Fructose on the other hand can only be processed by your liver, so all the fructose you eat just kind of queues up for your liver to process it. It doesn't cause you to release insulin so it has a low glycemic index. Your liver can convert fructose to glycogen and then to glucose to feed your cells if you don't eat any carbs or glucose. But if you already have more than enough carbs/glucose, your liver instead converts the fructose to fat and stores it. This can lead to fatty liver and somewhat interestingly can also lead to insulin resistance which then makes you worse at processing glucose. Alcohol also gets processed exclusively in your liver and can cause fatty liver, so it is true that juice and beer can do a similar kind of damage.

Anyway, on the bigger point I 100% agree that juice is bad for you. It's sad to see it so often touted as healthy.

EDIT: One thing I do wonder about, people always point to fiber as a reason why fruit is ok but fruit juice isn't. It seems like it would be a lot easier to get people to start taking fiber supplements than to stop eating sugar, so why don't we ever hear that advice?

> Are reposts ok?

> If a story has had significant attention in the last year or so, we kill reposts as duplicates. If not, a small number of reposts is ok.

It was posted 3 months ago with 31 comments though so looks like that doesn't apply. It's possible that mods didn't see the post (due to the different URL) or that the rules have been relaxed.

As for the downvotes, people in general don't like remarks about reposts because they're off topic and always come off as complaining. It's more likely that most users are seeing something for the first time or if they have already seen it, might not make mind because they like the content.

It's not that hard, your parents used to do it themselves before the TV.

Nowadays, you have no excuses, with computer programs letting you compose and play even orchestral music all by yourself! (if you don't want to invest a few months in becoming good at playing a musical instrument).
Would you say an average person who works an average job has a reasonable shot at getting into elected office in the United States Congress? If no, then that by definition is a form of oligarchy.

Though random samples and a large enough sample size, you can ensure that at least those in elected (sortitioned?) positions are not members of the oligarchy. Additionally, since sortition is much more efficient in selecting candidates, it's possible to replace some formerly unelected bureaucrats with sortitioned ones. Even if it's not perfect, it's still an improvement.
Laptop batteries do 200-400 Kj, that's 50 to 100 grammes of TNT.

I'm not sure how much damage one could do with 100 grammes of TNT but surely you could find more than just one laptop battery to work with.

Working grenades use anywhere from 50 grammes or more of TNT filler. The damage would very much depend on how fast you can liberate that energy and how well you could focus the blast.

Einstein's biggest idea made simple
One succinct way to describe/pattern-match life is "a process that lowers its own internal entropy, by consuming negentropy sources and emitting waste entropy." Which is sort of to say "a process for bringing order out of chaos", but with the much more particular implication of repairing any internal insult that may occur to return to equilibrium. In short: life is that which maintains itself.

With that in mind—and ignoring the fact that things that cause successful reproduction take precedence (so "suicide by mating" is okay)—most everything in a living being has the "function"—at least, in an adaptive environment—of working to lower that living being's internal entropy over some time-scale.

And everything that isn't helping in that function—every part of the system that isn't serving the system—is itself exactly the entropy that a living being, as a system, is trying to either excrete, wall off, bypass, or xenometabolize.

A completely benign bacterium trying to "keep to itself" in a host is, definitionally, still a parasite: its own self-maintenance increases the entropy of its environment, i.e. the host. And most every kind of host (other than the most primitive of marine microflora) has defenses for parasites, even of the most benign variety, precisely because "keeping to oneself" is still a net negative on the host. A body will only tolerate that which offers some form of symbiosis to it—things which aid the body in the goal of maintaining itself, giving back more than they cost to keep around.

(Obviously, I don't mean to suggest a body will figure out how harmful a given bacterium is and decide how much to react to it. But rather, evolution will selectively adapt the host species to defend itself against anything that's a net negative—while not putting nearly as much pressure to create defenses for things that are symbiotic.)

This applies to things besides parasites, too: "vestigial features" usually aren't, but are rather usually still of some minimal benefit: chickens and penguins can't fly, but flapping their wings still assists them in fleeing from predators. A feature that is truly no longer of any benefit to the species costs more to build and more to maintain than it's "worth", and so, if the relevant genome isn't horribly spaghetti-linked, the feature genes will simply become methylated and turned off after a few generations. It's quite accurate to say that any feature, any organ, any chemical in a body is there for a reason—or at least there for a function.

When you see the same family names in so many places (Bush, Kennedy, Clinton) the oligarchic tendencies are pretty obvious. It's fucking crazy that 2 Bushes have been president, and Jeb Bush is a governor, and might one day be president. This would never happen in a healthy democracy.
"His rant is designed to inform. The Linux kernel is a work of art based on certain consistent principles, such as not needlessly obfuscating implementation details.

Very interesting reading. I've gotten many migraine headaches over the years that I can only correlate to having consumed major brand name orange juices. Minute Maid, Tropicana, that kind of stuff.

Since realizing this, I've stuck to plain old oranges and fresh squeezed OJ and not had a problem. The link between consumer OJ and my migraines, if one exists at all, never made sense ("it's just crushed oranges, after all") until now.

So, theoretically at least, my body could have a bad reaction to whatever is in the flavor packs that are used to make the tasteless juice taste more like real orange juice.
> The issue I take with the message behind these statistics, (...) is that they make it seem like the best course is to do nothing;

That's exactly what they're supposed to do, because it is the best course of action against terrorism. Not because "ignoring your enemy" is wise, but because "terrorism" is the name we give to the form of attack that weaponizes you doing something - out of fear or anger. There is no value to the enemy in blowing up a bus. Killing a bunch of civilians is an effort wasted. But, if their deaths can get you to change your policies - start a war, or institute a police state, or something - then the attack has achieved its purpose.

TL;DR: remember that in terrorist attacks, deaths are just collateral damage - means to an end.

Well, increasingly that's untrue as machine operation begins to become more data flow oriented. Even before it hits the machine optimizations are often better performed on analyses which are more "functional" in nature. SSA is not so far from a functional language.
I know the facts plenty well, thanks.

Ignoring how terrible the prosecution prosecuted the case (going for 2nd degree murder) and the terrible law that is Stand Your Ground, of course he would never be found guilty of 2nd degree murder.

But after the fact, gloating about killing Trayvon Martin then posted a picture of a dead Trayvon Martin. You still defend this racist shithead? Sure dude, cool.

That's a really crappy gun. It's not even a revolver; a revolver has one barrel with multiple rounds in a cylinder. This is a pepperbox gun, an idea from the 1830s that didn't work out. The barrel length is so short you can't hit anything other than at point-blank range.

If you're going to design a 3D printable gun, design something better than what can be machined. Maybe bring back the Gyrojet or something like that.
Fructose on the other hand can only be processed by your liver

You're correct and my original post is incorrect with regards to fructose. Thanks for pointing this out - it's better to be wrong but enlightened.
Of course terrorism is worth our time and efforts to fight it! Even better, it's incredibly cheap and easy to fight - you just have to stop doing terrorists work for them by going insane about attacks! Ignore them (while treating attackers themselves as you would treat any other organized crime group - with solid police work leading to capture, trial and sentencing), and they'll go away.

We shouldn't. We should ruthlessly pursue those responsible and bring them to justice. Just like with any other mass murder case. What we should not do is to enter nationwide state of panic and proceed to bomb other countries while cracking down on minorities that had nothing to do with the attack and/or establishing a police state locally.

If you assume the oligarchy is some fraction f of the population, and you select n representatives, then you expect only nf instead of n representatives of the oligarchy. And since f << 1, the oligarchy can not gain control of the legislative body.

As for dysfunctional, depends what kind of people you want in the legislation. If you believe that the kind of people who want to gain power should not be in office, then running for office is a contra indicator for should be in office and you have to use random selection.
And that, let me remind everyone, is the whole point of terrorism. Making a nation destroy itself, and maybe even take someone else down too.

I think that direct democracy enabled by online voting and blockchain technology will eventually supersede the current representative system of democracy. I can understand that pre-internet it was necessary to have a representative democracy as it would not be possible to have all citizens vote in-person or by mail on all issues, but with the internet a direct democracy seems viable even at a large scale.

While there would be security and privacy issues to overcome with a digital direct democracy, at least it would not be as susceptible to corporate capture as our current representative systems of democracy.

The problem here is that you ultimately will get a class of advisors/administrators in the civil service or from third party lobbyists that will serve as a backbone of experience for these groups of people, and they will be needed simply because they lack the experience and knowledge required to make correct decisions.

That in itself will likely devolve into an oligarchic structure.
It's not only your problem. Growth is almost always painful. I'd suggest you view this as an opportunity on several levels and give it your best! You can help your company a _lot_. Try driving the change! Sit down and have discussions with the leadership team, start reading about organizational models (from classical ones to modern ones) - a good book: http://www.reinventingorganizations.com/ - the most important point is to get everyone conscious about the changes and acknowledge that it takes both time and deliberate effort! Handle it as you'd handle any longer project. Have milestones, action items, retrospectives about it! Phrase your goals (e.g. keeping or working out culture can be one of them). I also find that sitting down together and finding out what's important to you helps a lot - e.g. explicitly stating company-wide values or writing a manifesto. Don't panic :) Realize the power is in your hands also.
In my opinion it is not about doing nothing, it all boils down to the proportion of the reaction. An act of terrorism that kills hundreds of people, should not be reciprocated with an all out offensive on a whole region. Not only because that by itself is an act of terrorism; since most of the victims are usually innocent civilians, but because it cause the fear and anger that leads to the creation of these groups in the first place.

Just looking at history, you realize that all these groups labeled as terrorists, and I say labeled because many others go by under the radar, such as the KKK, all spawned from conflicted area where the political powers were sabotaging the stability. Either through corrupt governments or international mingling and occupation.

Concept: Blockchain-powered Encryption
The startup world may be influenced a lot by Mark Zuckerberg's motto of "Move fast; break things."

However, I don't think it's a good goal to aim for.

Like @andreasklinger and @hashkb said, you should have agreement with your engineers about your limit.

Refactoring can never be enough, because we always try to improve, try to be better.

You can think about the "later days" when you can come back on your codes and fix those crap codes, but you know you won't. The bigger the debt for now, the costlier it will be in the future.

Trust me, my startup is managing on that.
This is an interesting question that leads down a rabbit hole without a satisfying conclusion. If you think about it, evolution is a process with but one singular purpose: it is the ultimate arbiter, based on the laws of physics, of what objects exist and for how long. Thus one can argue that the function of everything is survival and propagation, from basic subatomic particles to rocks to living organisms to societies and civilizations to entire planets and stars. Unless you assume that there are an infinite number of universes representing an infinite number of variations on the laws of physics, evolution (of anything) is random but not unguided. It's a process thats less like a coin flip and far more like card counting in a black jack game: the next card may be random but its possibilities are very much bounded by the shuffling of the deck and the cards drawn so far.

To put it another way: without a universe there is no possibility for evolution (of anything) so naturally the function and survivability of an object is entirely dependent on the universe it exists in, and thus is "guided" somehow.

Edit: I use very humanizing language but the process of evolution has no external agency and this cannot be emphasized enough. Our language just gravitates toward describing natural selection as if it's guided by a god, and not something as unrelatable as the ultimate laws of the universe.

This is a little weird to me, because it's so easy to host your site a multitude of different ways. The notable thing about GH is its free, which makes complaining about it not having the one feature you want so odd. If you want that feature, pay the buck or two it will cost to host your site on CloudFront with something like Stout [1].
