Problem is: the real scientists didn't speak out loudly.

And, the bigger problem: many of them as well as others have very good reasons for keeping shut. Few people want to be vilified by mainstream media and the PC crowd.
Yep. And to clarify, the health problems that may make salt restrictions helpful generally involve impaired renal function or other kidney problems. If you have chronic renal disease, you need to be damn careful about your sodium intake, because you're not going to be able to excrete it properly.
I think the explanation here is that Facebook tracks clicks on the banners on their site while the author of this post tracks page views using GA or other tools. These are two different metrics. In between lies (at least one) redirect (from Facebooks click tracker to your website) plus a full load of your website.
There are a lot of visitors who click but never make it to the second link: Be it because they accidentally pressed the link (very likely) or because they decided otherwise and aborted.

I'd still go with your conclusion that it is difficult for the advertisers to track whether the ads pay of if you are paying per click.
I would not go as far and say that Facebook is doing fraud or scam.

Ethics in computer science
Land, or housing, Rent are ridiculous in the 20th century. Depending on where you live you may finally get the bad taste of this medicine.

I remember some journals ( it was Financial Times or Wall Street etc type ) making the relationship case. Stating people has actually been making less money when rent is deducted.

The cost of living is high, people used to say this without putting things into perspective. Cost of Foods / Transport and Rent may be high in London, but you do get a higher minimum wages. Compared this some South Asia Countries where Cost of Foods and Transport is low but Rent is exceptionally, and there may be no minimum wages or wages are comparatively low.

Our of the all four cost of living, Food, Transport, Clothes and Home, Home takes the biggest cost percentage. More then 50%. And it happens that only Home; Land, Rent / Property prices is an investment option out of the 4, and are suspected to be driven up and down by market / monopoly / government.

The world needs to start looking into Property market and tax on its profits, both selling or leasing. As well as allowing % of rent to be deducted in tax calculation.

I strongly believe, that anyone making more then the average median income ( so called middle class ) should be able to afford to buy or rent a house, that has heating in winter and can afford a 10 min Hot shower without skimming on their entertainment like movies, and be able to have decent meals a week while making some savings. The world we are at now are having middle class passing more of their wealth into property market and their living standard aren't that much different then lower class.
> It's the failure to follow through and provide the promised stability.

What evidence is there of failure to follow through? Temporary-to-permanent does not mean someone is guaranteed a permanent position, it means they have a chance at it. The permanent positions might be relatively small in number, and highly competitive, so some workers will not get it. Who is most likely to be interviewed by a newspaper and have an axe to grind?

The article would be more informative if it shared data about what percentage of workers were hired as temps, and how many full time positions were expected to be hired afterward, and how many of the homeless hired as temps made it into full time, and so on. Without that information, the article is just an anecdote from a person or two.

The nature of temp work is that it's not permanent, and no one hired into a temp job should have the disillusion that they will definitely get a permanent one. Temporary-to-permanent work means that there's a chance to stay on if you're good - you're not definitely going to get fired, nor do you definitely get to stay.
Yeah sorry my fault really. I'm working on improving the organization of the site and I haven't had near enough time to write everything down in an intelligible fashion. Most things are still in my notes or waiting to be extracted from various papers.
The Chinese character system is a brake on development
The author seems to have a kind of old century overconfidence in the value of the dollar. I hope he uses only one currency for pratical reasons.

And I would rather read an article that use ratios between liquid/static moneys those corporations got instead of random values.

(I'm one of those that believes static money has no value, had and/or may have, but in reality it's absolute zero).
The Story Behind F.lux, the Night Owl's Color-Shifting Sleep App of Choice
In a world so abundant of information, i think user attention is indeed a significant resource every major player should fight for. I guess the distribution of attention follows power law, that a few entrances take up most of the mobile use cases. For example, I use Uber, Wechat, GMaps much more often than the other apps. Search bar definitely is one of the most critical entrances.

That it not how statistics work. Assume it is correct 90% of the time. There are 700 million iPhones worldwide. Assume 1% of them use the app, that is 7 million friends found, and 700k incorrect locations.

What I find interesting is that this issue about sodium being unhealthy never really reached Europe (or at least Germany). While the US was advertising "low sodium" on their products we are still mostly advertising "low fat" and have some "low carb" pioneers. It seems to me that the whole "sodium is bad" scheme was a poorly supported health tip gone viral.
I host my own blog (http://junglecoder.com) on a VPS at the moment. But I went rather overboard with it, as I built my own CMS-lite in go. I was in college, wanted to learn how the web worked at a decently low level (lower than wordpress or rails).

What I've discovered is that having a VPS opens up a world of opportunities for network related things. I've used that site to host Ludum Dare entries, ClickOnce .NET apps, and a Wiki Profile image that I used to see if anyone was looking at my page on a company wiki. An SSH tunnel has allowed me to bypass some firewalls that block the majority of ports.... I've learned a lot on that server. Some of the best $50/year that I spend in terms of hosting stuff.
Eugine Ionescu probably has the answer to that. You see, when the doorbell rings it means that there is somebody there waiting for the door to be opened. But not always.
My first search on "new york" returned nothing...
I'm going to do the same. I modified a wordpress theme to fit better my needs, after an update all my changes were gone (I had a backup ofc), but it's irritating that I have to patch my theme after every update. I'm going to create a few scripts that will host my blog on gitlab and post it automatically on my server. Static pages are the future.
> ask them to break their backs so the extravagantly wealthy can make a bit more money

That's a very hostile way to describe working a warehouse job.

Offering someone a job is not asking them to break their back. Working for an employer has nothing to do with the extravagantly wealthy. All companies need employees, and companies are valuable because they serve their customers. You could equally say "break their back so random Internet consumers get their products", or "Burger King / WalMart employees break their backs so you get a cheap cheeseburger / grocery product".

Working a job tends to make people better off, and offering someone a job they didn't have before is giving them a new option. We can wish for a world where even better jobs were available, but wishing doesn't make it so. It's strictly better for the homeless to have one more job opportunity, than one fewer.

You can wish there were even better opportunities, but are you prepared to provide them yourself? Or is this your position: "I'm not going to do anything about it myself, but I'm going to criticize those who do something positive, even if it's just providing a low value opportunity. Someone should provide a better opportunity than that, but I won't be the one to do it."

By demonizing companies that offer jobs to poor people or the homeless, you're committing the fallacy called the Copenhagen Interpreation of Ethics. http://blog.jaibot.com/the-copenhagen-interpretation-of-ethi...
Yes, let's not trust Verisign to operate CA, but let's trust Verisign to operate a replacement for CA.

How is it supposed to distribute trust better?
Where is your GitHub? Why is there no code for us to look at? What are your credentials for proposing a project of this scope?

If your environment doesn't support C, how will you ever find code to run on it? Where is your GNU project?

"Amazon is reported to have some very close ties to spy agencies."
Why would we trust that any of the other providers would not co-operate with the CIA? Wouldn't they have to under the law?
Isn't adding new root certificates basically the same attack vector as just turning off or routing around your SSL? Who can mess with your certificate store who can't also just run whatever code on your machine?

Is there an algorithm for what you just described? I'm currently researching for color classification and it seems quite a complicated issue.
Yeah, hardcore! I helped run a music review blog in ~1998 that gained at least 10 reviews per week, all handcoded HTML with multiple audio samples. I mean, when markdown is a common enough blogging format on its own, handcoding HTML to get the same effect isn't going to be crazy.

And is a security nightmare. If I have an executeable, I have verified, I don't want the instructions to be altered in any way. In fact I prefer if it is impossible from a hardware level by marking them as executeable bits.
How on earth does replacing the management affect US tax code?
I'd pick better health before better breath! Keto is amazing, I'm never hungry - you not only live longer, because it's less harmful, but you save so much time and energy having to think about food and eating it! I eat 1-2 times a day, ideally, I want to eat once a day and I can, but for social reasons, I eat twice most of the time. Eating once at night has a name - Warrior Diet [0].

Right now, not really. PreScheme currently compiles to C. Eventually the goal is to create an assembly backend and if that were combined with incremental compilation features you could manipulate it at runtime to some degree.

> Improvements in the speed...of kernel development means end users see new features quicker

When is the last time you needed a feature that could only be provided by your kernel?

> It also makes it easier for CS researchers to try things out

How are they going to try things out if your OS doesn't support any of the techniques they're interested in (i.e. novel ways of getting at hardware, novel ways of doing virtual memory, etc)? Your premise is that life will be better because we won't have to deal with the ugliness of talking directly to hardware in C/C++/assembler, so what room does that leave for research?

Also I just want to tag on a question based on one of your reddit posts:

> One example is that 3L can save the entire system as you are using it. This means that if the power gets cut or the battery dies you can (instantly) reboot the system and it will be like you never lost power.

You realize that this sort of thing is a huge area of current research, right? Because it's a really, really hard problem?
I'm on Linux with Xfce. I have tried and failed to get a dark theme working. It's difficult to match across toolkits.

I've had web browsers that default to white screen flashing on new tabs, and most don't respect your native theme.

My current workaround]in Firefox is to disable background images, set default foreground/background and link colours. Set a default font, and ensure font sizes don't fall below a certain size.

Some text inputs have a dark background and a dark font. Which makes things very difficult. I'm typing blind.

Another issue is that many designs use background images where you would expect foreground placement. For example Instagram doesn't work for me. Slack is usable, but some image previews are lost. Other sites that rely upon imagery for navigation can pose a problem. The compose window in Gmail, I have to use mystery meat navigation to work out each button's function. Which is quite poor.

I've tried setting my own stylesheets in browsers where you can, but it's easy to break layouts.

Obviously accessibility is still overlooked by many site designers.

I also don't like being stuck in one browser, so a better cross application solution is preferable, rather than site specific fixes.

Reducing sodium intake has been a thing doctors recommend in Finland, at least. Ask any nurse, and they will tell you that sodium intake is definitely connected with high blood pressure and heart disease.

Also, they will tell you need to drink lots of milk to keep your bones strong. Also a piece of "science" on it's way out.

Yes, Firefox ships it's own package of trusted roots.
So, is the idea to avoid ORM, JSF, JavaBeans, CDI Beans and all JavaEE in general?
How is web application development done? I guess the back-end is made in Java with an API, and another language is used for the front-end.

Couldn't reply to the child post, so I'm putting it here:

Yes it is true that if a company helps but does not entirely solve a problem, they are not obligated to stick it out. But in this case it may be that they are not helping by offering homeless people seasonal jobs. The fallacy here is that homeless people have a choice: if I were in a desperate situation, then I would take any job on offer. I.e. by being given the option the decision has essentially been made for for me, and whilst I may be better off in the immediate future, that doesn't mean it will last (and it could even be worse in the long term), and whilst I could decline the offer, and wait for something more stable, my circumstances are sufficient motivation for me not to do that.

A cynical person might even posit that by explicitly not doing enough to bring people out of homelessness, Amazon succeeds in maintaining a pool of willing and cheap seasonal labour.
How will Amazon's new root certificate be spread to all browsers and mobile devices, so it's made sure that it will be trusted on every possible endpoint? Is the root certificate cross signed with another, already trusted cert?

To make the term "minimum wage" useful, it must have a bunch of qualifier like "minimum wage as set by the law for a set amount of work hours, under the condition that they don't earn other wages". Otherwise special conditions like symbolic wages will ruin the term for everyone.
Which is by itself broken. Large websites exchange certificates very often, rendering pinning useless. Unless you are talking not about pinning but about pinning by external actor, such as Google. And that is just moving your own security from hands of CA to hands of Google.
This still falls within the 3L security model though. A program can only do that if you, the user, allows it.

Also, 3L runs in two modes: development or secure. In secure mode you can completely disable manipulation of source code (or strip it out) and mark all code as read only and have the system verify the code hasn't been modified when it is run.
> It is very clearly seasonal work

They shouldn't have implied there was a change of permanency.
Although homelessness has been around for ever, there are things governments can do to reduce it.

There is a reason there are more homeless people in San Francisco than all of England.
That's the exact same thing. If we say wealth is not distributed evenly, that's the same thing as saying that only a few people own most things and many people own hardly anything.

Redistributing wealth means spreading out ownership more.
Did they at least comp the costs? When I have been in remotely similar situations with Amazon they have said "just do a hundred million API calls and we'll drop the fees, we are sorry this is so hard".
Interesting.

Load times are also noticeably longer on the modern site.
That's probably still better then tolerating economic espionage. But since this very dreaming, I personally still hope for the new Audit of CAcert end of this month. The CAcert root certificate would be a reason for me to use letsencrypt only as a fallback for HPKP.
This is particularly true for mobile, where it's very easy to mistakenly tap on an ad while attempting to scroll/swipe.

The natural user reaction is to quickly go 'back' by swiping or hitting the back button, often before promoted site has time to load and fire off its mess of tracking pixels/javascript.

However, Facebook itself has tracking pixels, and are configurable such that you can optimize for visitors that reach conditions (e.g. complete a signup). It makes much more sense to look at costs and ad performance based on these downstream metrics, vs. looking at banner ad clicks. (As stated in the article)
The Desktop are like unlimited resources, that is true to a certain extent. But the design has been switched to Phones in recent years, and they are limited. And we will move to Watch soon, which is even more limited resources.

Not to mention we are bound by Battery technology. In that sense, we are still very limited in resources.
Exactly. If the preprocessor respected file scope or better yet namespace scope it would be much much better. The way it works now there is no encapsulation. preprocessor definition in one library header will inadvertently affect code in other libraries, depending on the order in which they happen to be included and compiled. Its such a mess its embarrassing we still put up with it in the year 2015.
Same in Denmark, but probably mostly amongst my parents' or grandparents' generation (I'm mid 20s).
iOS users tend to be of higher income than Android users within a specific country especially in the west. - Would it not be more true in poorer countries. Like in India it cost around $700+ which attracts higher income people. For the status guys who can't afford, Apple has been selling 2 generation old mobiles for around $300. US and UK mobiles are sold at subsidized rates correct? Would then those users be considered High income users?

Complex doesn't mean awful. Impractical and slow for our fast-paced life, sure. But the characters are beautiful and the etymology, shape and composition is fascinating.

I'm currently learning Chinese (using Remembering Simplified Hanzi from Heisig [0] for characters and Iknow [1] for words/pronunciation) and I find it a lot easier than I initially thought it would be. It helps a great deal to know that all these characters that look so complicated are mostly made of the same 200-some radicals [2], suddenly it's a lot less daunting and the characters even make sense most of the time. And sure, one might forget characters with lack of use, but the same can be said about other languages. Grammar is a hot topic on the internet, isn't it?
