> The nature of the link is not established, but the authors speculate that diet soda consumption may lead to increased consumption of high-sugar beverages or food either directly by causing sugar cravings or indirectly by impairing the ability to gauge whether one has eaten enough.

Or it could be the other way around. Suppose you are consuming a high sugar diet, both from consuming high sugar soda and eating high sugar foods. You are fat, and you know you are heading toward diabetes. You want to start taking steps to avert that.

The easiest step to take is to replace regular soda with diet soda some or all of the time. For many people that is as simple as inserting the single word "diet" into their order at the fast food place.

Thus, I think that you are going to see correlations between diet soda and various bad things because people who have these bad things or are worried about developing these bad things switch to diet soda.
The NFL changed the ownership rules, and the Green Bay model cannot be repeated elsewhere.

"The NFL does not allow corporate membership. Instead, it requires clubs to be wholly owned either by a single owner, or small group of owners, and requires that at least one owner owns a 1/3 stake in the team. The Packers are granted an exemption to this rule, as they have been a publicly owned corporation since before the rule was in place."

I always wonder why people from Europe always use "As a European" to preface smug comments, there's got to be a sociology study there.

I mean, it's pretty necessary for the context of what the OP is saying. Americans say "As an American" less often because they just assume everyone is an American in the first place. I'm not sure that's better and, come on, it's not like Americans aren't capable of smugness now, is it?

Anyway, you guys have almost exactly the same behavior in UEFA teams

Do they? I'm certainly not aware of any, and the lack of franchising makes the whole situation different (a team will very, very rarely ever move city. It's basically unheard of).

And yes, I agree the original comment was flippant. But citing fan racism in soccer isn't exactly raising the tone either.

Which one will learn faster: each individual driver each time they have a minor accident (or a close-call)? Or the autonomous vehicle software updated from data collected from each and every accidents involving an autonomous vehicle? The result will probably be software-updates like Tesla cars are getting today.

I suspect that if the attitude towards autonomous vehicle accidents is similar to that of aircraft accidents, they will become extremely safe very quickly.
You're misinformed, I suspect because you are conflating .NET programs being distributed as bytecode with .NET programs being interpreted.

It is true that .NET programs are traditionally distributed as CLR bytecode. This is similar to a .class file or a .pyc file. But the CLR does now, and always has, had a JIT. E.g., the first line or two of https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ht8ecch6(v=vs.71).a... , which is for .NET 1.1, which explicitly states that, even at that time, the bytecode is JITed prior to execution.

> those liabilities are an existing part of the cost of doing business in the auto industry, not something new with automated vehicles.

You've written this in several posts and I think it's wrong. Consumer class actions are typically done on contingency, or with 3rd party financing, which means that cases must be somewhat likely to win before they even get filed.

Thus while it's true in theory that anyone can sue an auto manufacturer in any given accident, most accidents do not result in such suits. Consider that the GM ignition switch problem caused a number of deaths over the course of years before a suit was even filed on it. Auto manufacturers self-insure based on the expected rate of such lawsuits, and they obviously have very good data about that, as the movie Fight Club so memorably illustrated.

In a fully autonomous car a driver is not making any decisions at all, so how can they be liable? The balance would certainly shift toward more suits against manufacturers.
Technical Mastery is not Art, it's Technical Mastery. There's nothing inherently creative in having mastered a craft. Technical Mastery is a comparative metric when a given output has been determined to be artistic.

Well, I'll give an opinion. Venezuela doesn't really believe that there is no such thing as inflation as a fundamental position. It fundamentally believes that all assets that aren't going to help the poor should be confiscated and used to help the poor, or something like that. When that delivers disaster instead of utopia, the disaster must be the fault of evil people, because the fundamental position can't be wrong. So they wind up at the position that there's predatory pricing rather than inflation, because it must be the fault of greedy people rather than the fault of a bad theoretical foundation.

I'd classify that as "rooted in ideology", but I'll also agree to a large side dish of "mismanagement".

First off, it totally depends on the state. Small rural states, like in most things, get completely screwed on this metric, as Wisconsin and UMaine do not even begin to offer the same education, depending on your desired career path. That and the small states are also on the whole the more expensive schools, too.

I'm sure there are arguments to be made about just getting out of small states, but rarely are such simple-minded solutions useful for issues like this.

Personally, I think loans are a red herring. I think it's an arms-race between academic institutions and increasing tuition [0]. Adjusted for inflation, even the so-called affordable state schools have increased 14% over the past five years. Private schools actually went up less, when adjusted for inflation, but I'll let you RTFA.

The only glimmer of hope is that state schools have almost kept up with inflation for the past three years, and if the trend continues tuition might STABILZE for the next few years at roughly 25% more than it cost to earn a degree 30 years ago. Seriously, what the fuck?! How do you account for that?

I still mean what I said, they potentially will get contacted by people with too much money on their hands, to try to capitalize on their new publicity & media spotlight.

The publicity probably helped them if anything.. They play the whole "we are sorry we were misinterpreted, oops, we are going to revert/retract the trademarks and the react world idea." And no one can really say that the fine bros were purely malice.. So you might consider it bad publicity, but really, it was good publicity. All they had to do was retract an idea that would have probably failed anyways.

They went from YouTube famous to actual celebrity / news famous. That's not an easy line to cross.
Yep! The club/members have to own >50% of the club to compete in the German pro leagues

In the past, private ownership wasn't even allowed but that changed in the 90s.

Even cooler, the 2 largest football clubs on earth, Real Madrid & Barcelona are completely fan owned. They even vote for the presidency of the club! So refreshing compared to American sports, though without a salary cap their competitions are 1000x more predictable & boring. (ex. RM won their league match on Sunday 6-0, and Barca just won today 7-0)
I really don't understand all the negative Dropbox sentiment these days. Who cares if the investors aren't getting a 10x return? How does that materially affect you as a customer? Why are you even cheering for that anyways?

It's advancing faster in terms of being available to the consumer, that is true. But I'm not sure I would say it's advancing faster in terms of technology.

If you watch the TED talk you'll see that Google's cars today are responding to situations far beyond what Tesla's current offerings are designed to do. Construction flaggers, school busses which must not be passed, bicycles blowing through red lights in intersections, cars randomly pulling into the middle of traffic, bicycles hand-signaling a turn, a woman in a wheelchair chasing a duck, Google's cars are negotiating these situations without driver intervention. It's a totally different class of problem than lane tracking, emergency braking, auto-park, etc.

Not every investor is looking for a 10X. DB raised 1.17B, with 1.1 of those in the last three rounds (according to Crunchbase). The last three rounds were 250M,350M, and 500M. A round was 6M.

Say A round wanted 100x. B round 10X. C round 7x. D round 5x. That will bring the total expected return to around 8B. However I am sure C and D would not mind a 3X or 2X, while B would probably settled happily for a 5X.

Pregenerating most of your pages a-la Jeckyll is just so much better that I don't know why anyone ever thought generating all of their pages with PHP was a good idea.

I remember thinking it was a good idea, to be honest. But at this point I look back and see how mistaken I was.
yes compilation itself is not the problem here. Problem is more maintaining the whole stuff. Keep e.g. sure OpenSSL is up to date linked in your nginx is a good example (what a nightmare). Also getting nginx running and configuring like a standard Ubuntu one is not out of the box. This are all extra step which not everybody wants to deal with.

I'm learning Rust by writing a toy compiler, definitely a high-level task, and I'm finding that Rust is pretty good for that. Some highlights:

- Algebraic datatypes and pattern matching: extremely nice for compiler work where you need to manipulate symbol data.

- Result + try! macro: a bit more verbose than a language that can let an exception bubble up, but definitely nicer than the boiler-plate that people in Go must use.

- Module system: easy to expose only what you want.

- Cargo: one of the best, maybe the best, language package manager that I've used. Super easy to add dependencies to your project.

I will say this however: I'm moving more slowly than I would in a language like OCaml. I still haven't assimilated all of the borrow checker rules in my programming sub-conciousness, so I still make errors and it can take a little while to figure out what's happening and how best to address the problem.

It's not so useless. It's one exercise in why broad indices can be misleading.

Creating value in energy production is good, up to a point, and that point depends on whether you are an exporter or not. But if energy becomes a too-large part of the economy it does so at the expense of the rest of the economy.

The same can be said about health care: Health is good. So spending on health care is good. Until it exceeds what other nations pay to get the same health. Similarly, a healthy financial sector is good, unless it drifts into excessive financialization.

Illustrating how one economic sector becomes a vampire is useful because it illustrates how raw GDP can hide vampires that suck the blood out of quality of life.
I believe they used the right word. Not because those that did make the decisions were, in fact, idiots, far from it. It's because many times, that's the attitude of people who decide that things have to change.

These type of non-financial factors are always ignored in this debate. People seem to forget the government doesn't have to be profit focused and there are plenty of other examples of public expenditures that benefit private industries that are still widely popular. We don't expect public parks, libraries, or bridges to turn a profit, so I'm not sure why we expect stadiums financing deals to do it.

If the citizenry of a municipality votes to spend their money to ensure that a local team stays, that is up to them. That said, they are idiots if they come away with a deal like St Louis did that doesn't even protect them from a potential team move and any politician who pushes it through without a vote isn't fit for their job.

Generate the lion's share of income for who? If a city's citizens are ponying up tax revenue to support a team, then the city should do it right, and be a shareholder in the team, and capture a proportional share of the lion's share of the income that flows to the team's owners. Forbes has a good breakdown of the profitability of the teams to their owners [1]. PBS Marketplace has a good overview of how much of that profitability makes it to the city [2]. You can read many papers examining the economic impact of letting a sports team walk, here is one [3] such paper.

Given the level of profitability to owners, the statistically insignificant economic impact of teams on cities, and the accumulated data to date continuing to support these conclusions drawn so far, city managers giving away valuable consideration as if they're supporting charity cases are simply using taxpayers to purchase extremely expensive political points.

We have the same problems with taxes. Corporations can play the states against each other in regards to 'bidding' with tax breaks. But I think citizens should do the same there; tax breaks in return for shares. Either way what really has to happen, is for gov't officials to resume responsibility for negotiating for the people instead of for themselves.

That said, I make no argument it's a great choice. The public probably shouldn't be "investing" and like many would argue; it's a bit of overstep by the government to be managing team ownership. It's all murky but inextricable.

You can't really compare total memory usage of a JIT to total memory usage of an AOT compiler that way if what you're trying to show is that value types reduce memory usage.

Also, I suspect that the fact that JVMs use a generational GC (and a compacting GC) blows everything else out of the water when it comes to fragmentation. There's no way a best-fit malloc implementation can possibly beat bump allocation in the nursery for low fragmentation.

Product liability is hardly unique to the US: you can sue a manufacturer for a defective product in a great many countries.
Definitely football, it's more popular (unless you're in St. Louis).

Baseball games are really fun to watch in person though, more so than football in my opinion. It's just an excuse to drink and shoot the shit while hearing a bat crack every once in a while, always a great night out

Mathias, you also don't need a binary protocol. XML would work. JSON too. But binary is faster and more compact. Same with the table construct. You can work around not having it, but now ION has it built in. You don't make the mistake of serializing an array of JSON objects because you are busy. The objects are serialized as an ION table - not a list of ION object fields. If you ever send an array of objects across the wire with ION (IAP Tools), you will be using the table mode automatically. You save bandwidth and parsing time automatically. Who don't want that - even if you don't need it?

Regarding Copy and Reference, the support for them is still not very good (= not automatic). But imagine your service executes an SQL JOIN query, and in that result a lot of objects are repeated (e.g. same zip + city for a lot of objects). The Copy field can be use to include the zip + city fields just once, and after that refer to them later with a Copy field. That is shorter than including them again. These two fields still need some work to have full support, but we are working on it.

Right now ION is the most well-defined part of IAP. The network protocol itself is still not 100¤ finalized. But, now that we are close to being done with ION (we still have extra fields to add as extended types), we can move forward with the IAP core protocols and semantic protocols. If we do not define a standard semantic protocol for remote object synchronization, IAP will be designed so that you can plug in your own semantic protocol to meet that need.
