> Within a behavioral economic perspective, the reinforcement value of low-fat foods may increase following a low-fat dietary intervention, whereas the reinforcing properties of high-fat foods may decline. This is desirable as low-fat foods hold many advantages over high-fat foods in terms of weight maintenance.

> The preference results of this study demonstrate a steady, progressive decline in liking for salt in soup following dietary intervention and monitoring activities aimed at reducing sodium intake. Approximately 3 mo were required for preferences to stabilize at a significantly lower salt level, which was maintained at 1 yr. This may be of relevance in clinical settings where low-sodium diets are used for treatment or prevention of hypertension.

> Alterations in the fat content of the diet modulated taste sensitivity to C18:1 among lean subjects, which was increased following a 4-week period of fat restriction and attenuated following the high-fat diet. The failure of the high-fat diet to alter fatty acid taste thresholds among OW/OB subjects suggests that these individuals were 'adapted' to high-fat exposure, perhaps because of differences in habitual fat consumption. Taken together, these data suggest that excessive dietary fat attenuates nutrient sensing epithelia response in the oral cavity, which could be associated with changes in diet and weight status.

In other words, Uber has the connections to unduly influence the government in a way to make sure they survive. Which is kinda the reason why people want things like taxi companies to fail. So is this a good or bad thing?

>No, they are compensated in what is agreed to by both sides

Yes, and if they were not made better off by it they would have never agreed to it.

>which is not necessarily fair or representative of the part they played in building the business.

No one is compensated based on what percentage they contribute to building a business or product. That is referred to the labor theory of value and it has been disproven.

As for fair, you tell me what fair is.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure they could switch it to GPLv3. I think that Apple's firmware signing might run afoul of the anti-tivoization clause and prevent them from shipping Swift on Macs. IANAL
> Have you considered using rkt as an alternative to docker?

I have, and I respect it a lot more--and CoreOS in general has struck me for quite some time as being the adults in the room in this space, I think the value prop remains very shaky but I appreciate that CoreOS seems to give a damn--but I don't have a lot of use for rkt in general. The only place I have any multi-tenancy, I'm using FreeBSD and jails. (I'd like to use Illumos or OpenIndiana, as I better understand that stack than I do FreeBSD, but cperciva has done a great job with FreeBSD AMIs on AWS and I don't have the bandwidth to maintain an OpenIndiana AMI.)
currently but I can foresee a time when it is so convenient to hail a car that a lot of people just forgo car ownership entirely. Think of a future in which self driving cars work well and you can use your phone to get one to wherever you are within 10 minutes, get dropped off anywhere, never worry about parking and it costs far less than car ownership.

you're right, and i didn't mean to completely dismiss micro behaviors. but even as you said they commented on your "tall personality" which means you're probably eloquent and outspoken, and people are not promoting you just because you're making yourself look bigger in meetings.

You suppose incorrectly. Leave your assumptions at the door.

I use Fastmail as my email host, and Airmail as my client. I have one eye on Nylas N1 as a potential future cross-platform email client.
> Regardless of what extent the government does reflect the will of society, you still have the issue that we currently do have a system of personal property rights.

We have a system of personal property rights in which personal property is subject to taxation, both ad valorem taxation of wealth (usually, in practice, certain classes of assets are targeted for this, but there is no systemic prohibition in our system of it being applied anywhere) and taxes on particular uses or exchanges of property.

So using the existence of those property rights to argue against taxation to support public priorities is quite the self-contradictory argument.
You installed py27-letsencrypt from ports? I posted a command in here that I used on FreeBSD and it worked find to register a certificate without disturbing the running web server. The webroot authenticator does work in FreeBSD.
"In 1988, Fantasy Records, the company that owned the rights to Fogerty’s CCR classics, sued Fogerty for releasing a song that — get this — sounded too similar to one of Fogerty’s earlier CCR songs."

"Sounding like" in the title makes it seems he was sued for having the same voice (as himself) but is more like he wrote a song that was very similar to one that has already been written.

He would not have been able to sell his songs for as much if he can then just create a song that is nearly the same afterwards. Hardly as outrageous as the title implies.

> The default browser can't be changed in IOS(not sure if that's still the case).

Not only can it not be changed, but you can't even ship true alternative browsers at all.

You'll find plenty of "alternative browsers" in the App Store, of course. But they're all just UI wrappers around Apple's UIWebView or WKWebView. Apple doesn't allow anyone to ship an alternative browser engine.

So even if Apple let you change the default, it really wouldn't be all that interesting.

It was a pretty fucking awesome exhibit, too. Glad I got a chance to see it when I was over there.
Airmail. Or, if you're able to get into the closed beta, Nylas N1.
It all comes down to sales being easier to measure than other parts like development. Something like "doubling revenue" can be reasonably objectively measured. Trying to do the same thing for a developer is way too hard: double X? halve X? where X is lines of code, bugs, hours of attendance, appraisal scores, or other measurements don't remotely cut it, and are easy to game. (Revenue can also be gamed to some degree, but people/companies parting with cash is a higher hurdle.)

That let him make a measurable deal with Gates & Allen. A new developer as employee #30 doesn't have anything comparable.

I live out in a relatively remote area of Queens in NYC and never, ever took taxis before (I would have had to call an unreliable, surly car service). Now I spend $100+ a month on Uber, which is never more than 5 minutes away.
Interesting. However, the defamation standard in the UK is far lower than the US.
The argument is that it's the primacy of the ancient texts and practices that is recent, not the texts and practices themselves. (Again I'm not a historian, but nothing I've read or heard leads me to suspect that this is some sort of fringe theory.)
Successful for the company. Not necessarily the population.
Please check my related comment below about adjusting taste preferences. While it's true a greater amount of non-animal foods are necessary on account of them being generally less calorically dense (while at the same time being more nutrient dense), you can certainly find meals to satisfy your desires with patience and resolve. Start small - replace the beef patty with a black bean patty, for instance.
I can assure you this is an issue librarians feel very strongly about. I've worked at a number of libraries and all of them would only retain borrowing records if the patron requested it.
> But Tibetians are much more numerous and they've lost their independence much more recently

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as far as I know the majority of Tibetans were before the Chinese slaves in an absolutist monarchy/theocracy that used extremely cruel torture and punishments. (amputation of limbs, skinning, cutting off ears/noses)

Let's be honest here, this whole Free Tibet business is just about pressuring the Chinese government and nothing else.

If it advances the US governments strategic goals then they will even support barbarians like ISIS.

Unfortunately for the US the Chinese government is quite resilient.

They are not even trying to stir something in Tibet anymore, that one has failed. Currently they are trying hard in the Muslim Uighur regions, but apparently it doesn't work any better.

The Chinese will just crush any externally supported resistance, they don't give a crap. Nor do the Russians.

For reference, you can add comments (aka annotations) to tasks in Taskwarrior as well as dump to JSON (so halfway to HTML). TW also ultimately uses text files for your tasks.

The major advantage of TW over flat files is you can do stuff like dependencies, urgency, meta-groupings like projects and so on. Features that could probably be implemented with scripts on top of the FS, but by then you're basically cloning TW or org-mode. OTOH, if you don't care about stuff like that then flat files can work really well.

Li-Fi Deliver Internet Access 100 Times Faster Than Traditional Wi-Fi
It's so easy to never deal with Uber if you don't want to that I don't see the point of regulation.
Assuming that "federalism" means what I think it means (federation of independent entities, delegating economy-of-scale responsibilities like war and diplomacy to the center while keeping everything else for themselves), my guess would be this: that it ensures that government operates on a local level, where the number of people represented by a given legislature is smaller -- so individual votes have more impact and the proportion of voters frozen out by being in minorities is smaller.

This has two obvious failure modes: it can decay into warlordism, and the member communities can hate each other passionately enough to go to war. (So federalism is a non-starter for the US at the present day.)

Of course, if the poster here didn't mean by federalism what I guessed that it means, the above is irrelevant.

The great thing is that it doesn't use SMR. I have an 8TB SMR from Seagate and its write performance is bad and variable, much like the pre-TRIM SSDs. It's ok if you write a lot of stuff and then just read it (you can get >100MB/s out of it), but I often see small random writes (updates) at 3-4 IOPS, because it has to re-shingle the whole track.
Because Uber pushes out transportation providers who do follow the rules. Hence, regulation required.

When Apple demoed the iPhone, many folks were amazed at how much computer they had fit into the form factor. And of course the iPhone 6s makes the first iPhone look like a toy.

At some point technology will permit iPhone-level computing in a form factor the size of a watch. When that happens, it will require new UI concepts to make that power usable. Apple has started the learning process by seeing what works in the market.
>"Starve-the-beast" neocon tactics taken to a whole new level.

I'm not sure you know what a "neocon" is. Neocons derived from Trotskyism and are found in both major U.S. political parties. Neoconservatism has done more to expand government than perhaps any other ideology present in American politics.

>actively sabotaging the activities of government, and then using the results of their very own actions to convince the electorate that government doesn't work and cannot represent them, despite the fact that they got themselves elected into the very system they claim to despise.

Ironically that strategy sounds a lot like a strategy that's been deployed by progressives. If you look at some of the most heavily regulated sectors of the economy--healthcare, banking, housing, wall street, etc--those are the same areas which progressives hold up as free market failures.

- If found a boilerplate HTML layout and wanted to insert some stuff into it, I would use copy-paste.

- If I were editing a function to enqueue data, and I wanted to send it to two queues, I would re-type the 2nd enqueue command to avoid blindly copying over an inappropriate parameter, which is the kind of thing a tired mind might gloss over.

That seems more similar to org-mode than TW. TW's features are more along the lines of time-tracking, grouping tasks, managing dependencies and automatically managing tasks on top of the basic management. TW also has Android/iOS and desktop clients (including a GUI), though I haven't really used them as I find the default CLI to be extremely slick and intuitive.

You can do pretty much everything you can in TW with a variety of other tools, it just has its own spin on things and also a ton of features. I've tried other task organizers (especially org-mode), but I ended up sticking with TW because it worked best for me.
I'd disagree with that. It is providing a means of income for many who are unemployed/underemployed. It's much better than nothing. It probably can be better, but most of these drivers aren't complaining.

I believe that too. But I also believe that large ERP vendors will be the ones delivering this value, because integrating predictive modeling into a company's operating model is the hard part. They're also a lot more vertically integrated, plus their products work with your existing ERP / forecasting system.

Though it does seem like you guys have found a niche - quality automation in general is booming right now, and ML predictive models can be very helpful in certain industries like food and beverage. I'm guessing you guys probably work with smaller/younger companies that don't have the kinds of problems your Kraft/P&G/J&J do - there's certainly plenty of opportunity there.

"Prediction" in general can be hard - the biggest problem can be getting good data in the first place, and fixing a company's data gathering problems is out of scope of any sane software shop. But it's right in the wheelhouse of an IT consulting shop, which is where I'm seeing a lot of ML guys end up.

100% agree. Pushed goverments to review their approach to labour law.
"That's when the mobs and hashtags and internet shaming campaigns come out."

Let me stop you right there. Hashtags on Twitter or some other social media aren't harassment. I wish everyone would stop with comparing the two. Avoiding bans, blocks by users, and doxing are harassment. #IhateFallOut4AndTomHowardSmellsLikeOldSocks is not harassment. It's jeering. Deal with it.

"That's when news media takes it upon itself to carry out boycott campaigns."

Last time I checked boycotts are 100% legal unless we're talking about competing companies creating them. Then that's not just harassment, that's violating the basic principle of market structure.

"That's when employers are contacted and people get fired or are forced to make groveling public apologies."

How does boycotting and hashtagging become harassment? I really hate it when people conflate things here. Care to explain yourself? Because I see far too much dishonest language in your approach to this subject.

Also, what the heck does this have to do with trigger warnings in college courses and censorship? I don't see any connection. I see people trying to dodge dog whistles here (i.e. cultural marxism, cryptofascism, and the like).

I moved out 3 years ago, so I wanted to reply to the fiber/subway part of your comment. Those two were absolutely essential, and a better drainage system would not have helped much in the floods. In the last 10 years or so, there has been ridiculous construction on what used to be lakes, and today the worst affected areas are those. See my comment here on HN from almost 2 years ago . (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7881544). This was waiting to happen, but not because the drainage system sucks, there is literally nowhere to drain the water off to.
I can give you a couple of examples from my personal gaming experience..

I used to play world of warcraft only for pvp (player vs player combat).

In that game, you can spend basically a full 40 hour week to make a character a suitable level for PvP. Or if you want to be ready for a wide variety of PvP types, you will create 3-5 characters this way over months. You also get to do this whole process again every year when they raise the level cap.

Or you can use a macro keyboard and be ready to compete during the first week of the PvP season while also having a job and hobbies.

In minecraft, say you need to connect two very distant bases with a bridge. You can painstakingly place every block by hand, and risk falling to your death and having to start over, and likely get some mild carpal tunnel, or you can set up a keyboard macro and come back later to a 2,000 block-long bridge.

It is meaningful in the sense that it can turn something which is annoying to the point it is becoming a chore back into something which you can enjoy as a game.
