I have never found frozen vegetables to have any taste other than the faint suggestion of their natural taste in a sea of mushy blandness.

When I was on a DIY blend and mixed batches of powder weekly, it took 20-30 minutes (depending how much I concentrated on it) to prepare a week's worth of meals. It took ~2 minutes to pour the powder into a pitcher at the beginning of the day, so 40 seconds/meal prep time.

Not to mention the time saved shopping, planning for shopping, driving to the store, etc., Which almost certainly takes at least 90 minutes/trip, which let's say you make biweekly. comes to 105-155 minutes of weekly overhead plus 10 minutes a meal for 315-365 minutes of total time wasted by consuming solid food a week. In comparison, DIY soylent is 62-72 minutes a week. If you're buying powder, that drops to just the time required to mix a day's batch, dropping the total time cost to 42 minutes a week! If you buy Soylent 2.0, you spend ZERO minutes on food preparation and can ALWAYS consume nutrients concurrently with any other task.

That is HOURS a week you are literally stealing from yourself. You could use that to scale your startup that much quicker, or if you're a freelancer you could just convert it directly to billable hours! (If you're a wage slave, why are you on HN?)

By design Soylent has a complete nutritional profile, so you're getting everything you need, complete proteins, fiber, whatever, and far better than your vegetables, which have variance that can't be measured or controlled. This also means you're always satisfied while on Soylent ("drinking a meal" is possible, but quixotic... Soylent allows you to liberate yourself from the concept of meals, and just consume calories as you need to throughout the day, which has the added advantage of eliminating food coma and keeping energy release steady).

I usually drink my soylent unflavored, because I've long since stopped caring about things like taste. The ROI just isn't there. Taste sensations are a fleeting experience that rarely generates a lasting memory (how did your lunch taste yesterday? The day before? The month before?), whereas the tangible benefits you can attain from saving that time tend to be persistent long into the future and generally compound. But, if you want to add ~30 seconds to prep time, you could mix in cinnamon, MSG, blend in some fruit, whatever, and you'll have a taste experience that is almost certainly on the same tier as reheated frozen vegetables.

That sounds like a fine business opportunity for someone trained in the use of a 3D printer: you run the thing, other people just pay you and pick up their new stuff. Such businesses could become as common as any other small convenience-retail outlet.
Really a lot more explanation than necessary. Get a feel by using them and using a debugger or just console.log to trace execution. Then compare with equivalent callback code and async/await with babel.

Then use async/await and look at node-modules.com to find modules that convert to promises so you can use async/await.
That's how people learn things, by tinkering with existing stuff. Had the media not picked up this story, this kid would've been warned to stay away from doing such stuff, essentially killing any motivation he would've had.

There are multiple comments in this thread that describe it.

* He didn't really make a clock

* His dad is an Islamic activist likely staging this whole thing for money and attention

* His family intends to move to Qatar in order to be in a "more accepting" place

* The kid was interviewed saying something about "soldering CPUs" or some crap. This isn't a 5 year old. He has no idea what he's talking about.

TL;DR he's kind of a little shit, and his dad is using him for money and politics.
Use async/await with babel.
When I was in middle school a kid got suspended for bringing a paper mache firework to class (basically just a fist-sized cylinder with a wick). It turns out it was completely hollow and didn't contain any black powder, but he still got a suspension since it looked like a bomb. The kid was white.
Islamophobia is very much a real problem, but it seems reasonable that any kid in the same situation might get in trouble as well.
I haven't read the Steve Jobs book in awhile, but didn't Wozniak bring a metronome to his high school that they mistook for a bomb?
Again, I'm not saying racism and Islomophobia in our school system don't exist, but there's a long history of educators mistaking harmless devices for explosives, and I think its a tad presumptuous to say that this issue is only about race.

Because you can make MORE money. Some people actually ENJOY the challenge of work. I hate this constant demonization of paying people that just want "good enough" a living wage. If all they want is their new car every 10 years, a small house, and enough money to put food on the table every night, why not give it to them? Someone that REALLY wants to become a lawyer isn't going to go into stamping metal for a living just because it pays a decent wage...
5 Simple Ways to Get Smarter and Increase Your Intelligence
Likewise, in aggregate, being raised with a single-minded focus on chess is probably not necessary or sufficient for being successful on the scale of the article. Certainly most attempts to breed prodigies fail.

Using a financial metric as opposed to a chess metric is an internal/external validity tradeoff that would support the claim that the parenting techniques used are useful in real-world scenarios. I think this is better because as many others have pointed out, how good you are at chess is usually not a factor in how successful a life you lead, whereas in the West, your net worth is basically a direct measurement of success.

I have a 10 month old and this feels right but I have zero data to back it up.

One thing I tried as an experiment turned into something good. When a baby falls, bumps their head, hits themselves in the face (remember: no motor control), their first impulse is to scream. Sort of.

I noticed that when ours falls, sometimes he looks at us before reacting almost as if he's waiting for a clue on how to react. I clap and cheer and instead of freaking out, he just smiles and goes back to what he was doing.

This only seems to work when surprise and not pain is the cause. If he bonks his head, it's still the end of the world. ;)

So they suspect he has a bomb, but don't evacuate the school? If someone calls into a school and says there is a bomb, they evacuate regardless of whether its a hoax or not.

Also you misquote what Mark Cuban said, just like a lot of news sites that want to focus the narrative that his sister "fed" him answers.

"I talked to the kid," Cuban said. "He's from Dallas, and I've talked to the people in the school district. The kid is a super smart kid. Science geek. We talked about science, but while I'm talking to him on the phone, as I ask him a question, 'Tell me what happened because I'm curious.' Right? His sister, over his shoulder, you could hear, listening to the question, giving him the answer. So, I don't know all the details of what happened, but what I do know, when I talked to him about science, when I talked to him about magnets, when I talked to him about creating things, he was very, very engaged."
I'm not sure I agree. While I love it as an open source tool, GitHub is an awful code review interface.

Any data that is stored on GitHub (ex issues, PRs) can be pulled down via the REST API. So, it should be relatively easy to build a migration tool or alternate UI if necessary.

This is open source. You can run it locally, host it yourself, put it on Heroku -- whatever your heart desires. And, yes, you can always just use WordPress.com (for free, btw). And that's just out of the box; The sky's the limit if you get involved as a contributor (and you should!)

Where does this leave WordPress.org? Well, let's put it this way: There will be a lot more people building cool things on top of the WordPress.org REST API now that this project has shown what can be done (I expect that over time the REST API will accumulate all the abilities of the Jetpack API)

Does there have to be a better strategy for WordPress.org? I don't fear for a project that has already claimed 25% of the web and is growing market share faster than any other CMS.
Should schools really not take security seriously though? Do we really want people second guessing themselves when it comes to safety? That precedent is asking for trouble.

I'm seeing a lot of comments on how this was all orchestrated or how he didn't actually make the clock.

Even if any of that were true, I'm not sure why it should change anything at all. The issue from the very beginning was the school's reaction to the clock.

If any of them really did get fooled into thinking it was a bomb, then they definitely wouldn't have handled it the way it did (handling the bomb themselves instead of evacuating and calling in professionals). This was simply a display of power by the school officials and police, and an attempt to make an example out of a kid that was somewhat disobedient.

If they acted reasonably, this whole ordeal would have ended there and there would have been nothing to further orchestrate by the kid's parents. They didn't. And now they're paying the price and being made an example of themselves. The irony is delicious.
Java is not exactly Oracle's territory.

Swift and Objective-C are Apple's territory if Java is Oracle's territory. Besides they are more like no-languages than programming languages. There is a huge number of Java programmers out there compared to Kotlin or some other "it is so cool" language.

How does safety enter into it? Everyone knew it wasn't a bomb. Some people thought it was pretending to be a bomb, other people contend that it wasn't pretending to be a bomb. How are you worried about people second guessing themselves, in that context?

Schools have procedures for when there's a suspected bomb. They don't look like what was done, here. There was never a suspected bomb - only a suspected hoax.

It's not just that Lua makes a good config file format, it's that serving HTTP requests is a complicated enough business with enough edge cases and corner cases that it merits a turning complete language.

I actually have some special corner case API endpoints that nginx just simply can not handle in the manner I would prefer. Further, the regex based location syntax, and even the prefix based ones, are not really what you want; you want a "Path" object that's aware of what / in a URL means, and does the right thing if you do/don't add it to the URL. (And it's not as easy as "/foo/bar/baz/?")

You will also need to remove the eDell plugin entirely otherwise the certificate will simply be reinstalled. If you have "Dell Foundation Services" listed in your programs you can uninstall it, otherwise you'll need to look for "Dell.Foundation.Agent.Plugins.eDell.dll" and delete it.

This is a surprising hypothesis. Do you have other evidence/analysis, or is this purely speculative?

For my part, I would have said that racism/classism deserves much of the blame. Especially after forced public school integration, middle-class whites wanted to live in neighborhoods where poor people would be priced out by inability to afford cars or detached houses (and kept out by racial criteria for home ownership), and thereby could also keep their local tax money from paying for services or infrastructure for “those people”.

That and multiple types of massive subsidies for cars and driving – zoning, free parking, government support for cheap oil, publicly developed roads, etc.

I was wondering if you had more experience with Ruby than with a statically typed language like Java, and thus did not see the problem with reflection. Now, to answer your previous question, about how reflection is bad:

* Reflection allows one to dynamically add, remove and modify properties and methods, and that breaks type safety. Compilers are no longer able to prove deterministically that a certain object has certain properties or certain methods, or that certain methods have certain signatures because all those may change at runtime.

* That which can be dynamically changed must be dynamically resolved. And dynamic resolution is slower.

* It breaks encapsulation. It exposes private APIs and allows immutable objects to be modified. That is why its usage is ugly.

A dynamically typed language has much less problems with reflection, since in these languages, dynamic resolution is the norm, and they are not amenable to static analysis anyway.
Important information about your Rdio account
Good analogy with the auto industry. I don't think it will lead to the death of the drone. In fact I don't think it really goes far enough. Registration into such a database falls short of what some security experts agree is appropriate, especially when you consider that people with malicious intent are not going to register anyway. However, it is a necessary first step.

One thing people often overlook is the speed of evolution is proportional to the population size. Because of the incredible increase in population that agriculture allowed humans have undergone more evolution in the last 10,000 years than we did in the proceeding million. Those of us descended from ancient farmers really are genetically different to our hunter gather ancestors.
