Entirely correct and well backed up with sources. Myself I mix my own e-liquid, whilst not knowing exactly what goes into them due to using flavourings made by flavour companies, I have a better idea than some.

To avoid diacetyl just do not use any eliquid that has a butter like flavour (custards and creams are the usual candidates). When you pick up on what diacetyl smells like you can smell it from a mile off.

Unfortunately though - flavour companies started advertising "diacetyl free" on flavours while replacing it with chemicals which are just as bad - Acetyl Propynol and in some cases Butyric Acid.

Anyone who is interested in this I recommend reading Dr Farsalinos studies on the subject.
I believe Swift does reference counting (ARC). Isn't that a form of garbage collection? With reference counting object lifetime management cost is just spread more finely over time. With GC the cost is paid in periodic "time chunks".

Other than that, nothing prevents one from writing the performance sensitive part in C/C++/Rust/etc. and then using whatever other language for the non-performance sensitive portion, which typically represents the bulk of code.
Being a plumber is actually a good career. You can't outsource it, you always need them at some point, and the hourly rate is quite high. Maybe you could automate it? At the point tech can automate all aspects of a plumbers job, we'll have automated most jobs (IMHO).

The wealthy don't have a 3 trillion income for you to tax.

http://fortune.com/2014/10/31/inequality-wealth-income-us/

> There is no dispute that income inequality has been on the rise in the United States for the past four decades. The share of total income earned by the top 1 percent of families was less than 10 percent in the late 1970s but now exceeds 20 percent as of the end of 2012.

https://bber.unm.edu/econ/us-tpi.htm

Total household income is only ~13 trillion.

So even if you took 100% of their income, the numbers wouldn't work.

Pretty much the only way to make that work is to tax people down to the $75,000 or so level.
Since most babies tend to follow the steps of development according to a timeline (i.e. a, then b, then c, and never out of order), and typically on time, isn't this rather evidence that such neural system grow more than the physics system is learned?

The idea that some complex systems can simply grow without inputs is not unfounded in the biological world -- witness, for example, grazing animals such as cows and giraffes that plop out of the birth canal, shakily stand up, and being trotting around. They couldn't have trained that system in the womb.

Similarly, human babies who are growing complex neural systems over years might look like they are learning, but instead they are just growing. That's not to say that we don't learn things later on-- certainly we do-- but that's not evidence that babies are necessarily learning all the skills they become capable of in toddlerhood.
I mean, it's not like they've banned other mapping apps. This seems like the reddest of herrings to me.
1) Chess 960 is cool, but really misses a lot of the interesting parts of chess. Also completely ridiculous to talk about "reviving" chess since chess is at near peak popularity. Unclear what goal you're suggesting could be achieved. Chess on TV? Chess a mainstream activity? I think there are lots of reasons why this is really difficult starting with chess is very very complex due to the availability of perfect information and several hundred years of people studying it. It's still more popular to watch videos of people playing chess than it would be of people doing biomedical research.

2) Openings are not as dead as you think. There are certain lines that are more well studied than others, but until you're 2650 FIDE (don't worry, 99.99% of players won't get there) you can deviate and have just fine results.

3) I think your thoughts about the opening are probably mis-informed. Look at the games from the recent london chess classic here:

In round 3 Vachier-Lagrave already spent 9 minutes as white on a single move at move 9 in a open sicilian (maybe not as few choices as you're suggesting).

Again in round 4 he spent 5 minutes on move 9 in a sicilian and then 12 minutes on move 11.
For people who also feel this feeling, I suggest you to try some browser extensions that will hide the news feed while letting you use the fb messengers & group function.

I basically turn the notification for my best friends post, etc and delete the FB app. So I'm always connected and only receive notifications when one of my best friend posted something.

I admit that it's not the ideal solution but it's the best one so far.

Somehow it seems wrong to be saving 6 month salary just to get into another job (even if you enjoy it).

My Euro-biased perspective is for the job to be something that you don't actively hate doing. The fun stuff(hobbies, family, etc) can be done outside of that.
I was fine with deactivation only. The way I saw it, I didn't much care to change the fact that my past was on Facebook. I just wanted to make sure my future wasn't.

There is a certain bit of psychological hacking going on calling connections "friends". Facebook has allowed a lot of people to reconnect and stay in contact, but maybe that isn't a good thing. Maybe we're supposed to only have transient interaction with most people. Maybe not knowing more about our cousins or our friend's friends is a sort of social lubricant. It's easier to be polite to my bigoted grandfather at Thanksgiving if I don't have daily reminders of his racism and homophobia. Perhaps the fact that none of the kids I grew up with are on Twitter is a feature of Twitter.

I could maybe get back on Facebook if I treated it like Twitter: I disconnect as soon as your stream turns to anything that even gives me the feeling of wanting to make a negative comment[0]. My twitter feed is full of a mix of on one hand very interesting people, and on the other very quiet people. I like it this way.

[0] I'm mostly successful at avoiding making that negative comment, which is kind of scary considering how many negative comments I do end up making.
This makes sense from a trademark perspective, you either protect it or lose it.

However I think, particularly for a project that supposedly highly values open source, to go straight to lawyers is a very poor show on Docker Inc's part. An email referring to their guidelines or even chiming in on the project/issue thread on GitHub would probably have sufficed and come across much better from a PR perspective.

I hope this serves as a warning to others regarding exactly what kind of company Docker Inc is.
In the tech industry, I think you're generally given the option between all-expenses-paid and a lump sum paid in advance. That was my experience. The only caveat is that the money is potentially owed back prorated based on how long you stay with the company.

>Oh just give this poor old dog the old Yeller treatment already. I don't know what's more sad, the fact that Yahoo has fallen from where it once was, or that it's falling so slowly and that it's new CEO, once thought to be it's saving grace, is letting the bleeding continue for seemingly as long as she possibly can.

And why not?

In what kind of reasoning, if you could continue to make money and employee thousands of people for 10+ years of slowly declining revenue and relevance, would you refuse it?

A "hot" CEO or employee might want to jump ship ofcourse for greener pastures. But there's absolutely no sense in closing the company and leaving all the money it could make (even if declining) on the table.

If it wasn't profitable, that would be another story. But it is.

Indeed. Once you go past certain amount of followed you end up inventing some rules for new ones. Like not too many tweets per day, especially if there's more RTs than OC.

Twitter is like a garden with weeds. Constant need of pruning. Facebook just hides most that you don't commit to every now and then. Twitter has also a bit too much automation and anonymity. But some of the parody accounts are gems.

Dr. Wheeler's research and resulting paper are excellent work. It certainly gets us thinking in the right direction in an attempt to solve the problem, but I don't know that I'd call his approach a tangible solution. You still need a trusted compiler. And from whence can one obtain a trusted compiler and guarantee that it has not been compromised? Also, no two compilers (GCC vs Intel, for example) would produce the same bit-for-bit executable code.

Perhaps we only lack the tools to implement his solution.

I'm 22 so I'm kind of caught between you and your daughters, but my understanding is that Minecraft is that new "OS" or "application" that is exceedingly fun while teaching programming in the phone/tablet age. It's phenomenal how popular it is among the younger generations...its coming to replace the legos of my (relative) youth.

MSFT is pushing it down the coding/education path as well - they recently launched a Minecraft/Code.org collab - https://code.org/mc - which I'm assuming is slightly more fun than programming a spreadsheet or rules in an email app.
It is important to note that the levels of these chemicals in the vapor from vaporizers is 50-100x lower than found in traditional, "analog" cigarettes.
If you ever stand near a typical vaper, you'll notice they use very high concentrations of flavoring. Any food with this much flavoring would probably be considered inedible. I think very strong flavoring is popular to overcome desensitization caused by frequent use.
'Women' and 'men' are fairly large groups by which to organize people. I don't have a source, but I would wager a guess that there were other men who chose medicine and law(particularly since these graphs never grow above 50%) even though you chose a as. And why did women only start to see the writing on the wall after 1984? (Per the graph).
Indeed. It seems that two very different sects combine forces in the battle against e-cigs: traditional tobacco industry, who sees e-cig transition as a threat, and health authorities and activists, who see second-best (e-cigs) as the greatest threat to what they think is best (total abstinence).

This unholy alliance seems unfortunately quite strong. I'm not a smoker, but I'm all for every smoker around me converting to e-cigs, and even at the "risk" of having some non-smokers start e-cigs it's really a no contest: if some e-cig flavourings are unhealthy, investigate and regulate those, but please please do not stop the transition which is great for absolutely everybody (except traditional tobacco providers).
I am not being sarcastic. That entry hasn't changed in the FR since 1983. "Generally recognized as safe" is out of date and the chemical needs another regulatory review and update.

Clearly people are happy to use non-default applications.

Thanks for the link. Here's the description from their Overview (cleaned up a bit):

"Yahoo! Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries is a guide focused on informing, connecting, and entertaining our users. By creating highly personalized experiences for our users, we keep people connected to what matters most to them, across devices and around the world. In turn, we create value for advertisers by connecting them with the audiences that build their businesses. For advertisers, the opportunity to be a part of users' digital habits across products and platforms is a powerful tool to engage audiences and build brand loyalty. Advertisers can build their businesses through advertising to targeted audiences on our online properties and services or through a distribution network of third party entities who integrate our advertising offerings into their websites or other offerings. Our revenue is generated principally from search and display advertising."

Reading that was a bit strange to me as it doesn't fit with my image of Yahoo. From that description, it seems they think of themselves as a social network + ad platform. I'm finding it a bit hard to clarify what my image of Yahoo exactly is but its not that.
Noted. Added the word "mainly". I'm not claiming that Diacetyl should be in e-cigarettes to begin with, but that the headline and recommendations of the need to be viewed with additional scrutiny and in context. As with all unhealthy components dosage matters and risks should be presented accordingly.

PS There have been other studies into Diacetyl in e-cigarettes in the past. This sourced article contains a few more pointers http://blog.mtbakervapor.com/the-truth-about-diacetyl/

I really question where you are getting your numbers they don't really make sense to me. Second, I will point out that the market for lawyers is completely oversaturated, so if you go to law school unless you went to a top ten law school you may end up working at Starbucks (slight exageration). As far as medicine their is very clear demand but the costs to get their are very high. You have an extra $100K, for 4 years of med school and 3 of residency where you act like a Doctor but get paid shit. You don't start making money until you are 30, while in CS you can be making big buck at 21. Physical Sciences get paid even worse.

You cannot make a argument that women are just taking the more optimal career path and leaving men to do what is left over.
The work I'm referencing specifically called out Google as an example of an overly-complex practice that didn't result in objectively higher quality candidates. Google's overall quality of engineering talent is high because they are quick to push people out the door if they don't meet the high standards. Regardless, it's very difficult to scale Google's hiring practices, and it's overall seen as a growth limiter for them (even by people internally - it can take 3-6 months to hire one candidate).
>Speaking as a developer and as someone who spends a lot of time configuring and using iPhones, this is is not surprising and indicative of nothing. The native Apple apps on iPhones have access to resources we as third party developer's can't touch, and integration with each other that no third party developer can even come close to matching unless we reinvent half the OS.

Not really relevant as the exact same situation (plus having to install it manually) didn't stop Google Maps be used more than Apple's in the first years of the Apple Maps service.

There's also this: somehow Google Maps keeps getting worse. Even on the Desktop version with the horrible redesign, but also the iOS app after they split it with Apple was horrible (it couldn't even zoom at the level you wanted reliably).

I'm guessing he means that he doesn't use Facebook and lets his spouse (who is on Facebook) tell him about significant news about friends/family and filter out all the gibbrish. That's what I do anyways. :)
If it's the same as mine, it means that I don't have a Facebook account, but my spouse tells me what's on Facebook that I need to know.
I believe it just means your spouse uses Facebook, and you second hand smoke it. If you are lucky your spouse at least statefully inspects the feed.
To come in as an outsider and try to save an ailing web giant nearly everyone had already written off is no easy feat. Wall St. is valuing things like Tumblr at zero and so now she has to do a 180 and unwind this company, maximally and efficiently, while pregnant with twins. Naturally we're inclined to armchair QB, but I think the hand she took over when she sat down at the table was bad. While she never went "all in" on a moonshot, that would have been a literal gamble, and she played smart. Wall Street can be inefficient. Core Yahoo is worth more than nothing.

GRAS is a food additive designation and does apply ONLY to ingestion. The pharmacology of an inhaled substance can be completely different than that of an ingested one. The same goes for intravenous, topical and subcutaneous as well. Just because something is safe for one method of delivery does not mean it is safe for another. GRAS is applicable and continually updated regarding ingestion, but it does NOT apply to inhalation.

Edit: side note, the database of additives approved in pharmaceutical products is specific to route of delivery and ,for the US, can be found in the FDA's inactive ingredients database: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/iig/index.Cfm

> I've had some similar anecdotal experiences in an education franchise, where I've found that it's very difficult to convince boys or girls that math, physics, programming, or computer science is fun or worthy.

I think kids often operate on simple social heuristics. Guess what it means when somebody tells you ad nausem that something is important to you while his tone, body language and whatnot consistently shows that he cares about you learning this infinitely more than you do? Yes, exactly, this is the smell of bullshit. If science really was that important and if you understood science enough to be worth learning from, obviously you'd be using science to improve their lives all the time and they'd immediately start to monkey you. That's how it works.

I think my parents understood this to some degree and didn't try to shove down my throat things I didn't care about, except maybe for religion. Care to guess how far this one went?
