> it's possible to eat plants and end up not getting all essential amino acids

No, that isn't possible. You could eat nothing but potatoes, or even mangoes, and still get enough protein. There isn't a single whole plant food which is completely lacking in any essential amino acid. How could it? Plants can't "hunt" and "eat" other plants - they must synthesize all amino acids themselves. The "complete protein" myth is one which has been debunked for decades, yet somehow refuses to die.
Having one code of conduct subcontract out its definitions to another code of conduct on a completely different site is a pretty bad design pattern.

The Verge podcast walt-ctrl-delete was talking about this. Nilay Patel, editor at the verge, raised a pretty interesting point which was Supreme Court cases are often picked.

Actors can pick what case they want to appeal or prosecute. They pick the case with the best facts and the right time and try to maximize their chance a decision will be written into law. Roe v. Wade was brought up, although I don't know enough about the case to argue, but it was an example they referenced.

This is a good case for the Gov't. You have 2 people ruthlessly kill a bunch of civilians and they are already both dead. They can't testify and it is fairly likely the data on the phone is meaningless. So the government can make a strong case, their are really no known parties who are alive and have intimate knowledge of the attackers, and Apple can be represented as being "pro terror".

So you raise a good point. Caveat, I would change "The government" to Governments as the U.S. is certainly violating the U.S. constitution but also certainly not the only government involved.

Unfortunately, yes. The law legally protects anything which you might use to gain unauthorized access; that includes e.g. a password field. (That is, it is indeed breaking into a system if you type in the correct password, say by reading it on a post-it on someone's monitor, but you are not supposed to know that password.) This sort of thing makes the entire business of law complicated and impossible to automate.

Then again, lots of sci-fi dystopias are dreams of an automated law that somehow destroys the fabric of society, so...
As an example - imagine a company with a billion $ in cash. If investors believe that the company will be wasteful with that money (for example by making poor acquisitions as is sometimes the case with companies with an excess of cash) then investors will value the company at less than a billion $.

In a world of millions of networked devices it seems redundant to classify any one single element as "secure". The secure device cannot possibly trust any other device, and those devices in turn cannot trust the secure device. By necessity we use a combination of different systems, and any one rogue system could undermine the rest. The only way to make that safe is to understand how different systems interact and ensure they are sand boxed from one another. This is particularly difficult when a single machine can have several processors running their own platform.
Each state is different, but they'll take your car and some of the equity in your house to make up the difference.

California for example would take all the equity from your house except for 75k so a single person with moderate income.
This is effectively how the low fed-funds rate trickles down to the consumer - there are 0% financing opportunities everywhere.

Ultimately, these deals are subsidized by people who get charged with massive deferred interest payments because they don't plan properly, and that sucks for them, but as you say, it's a great way to start experiencing the benefits of a purchase instantly.

Even better is to use the financing opportunity on something that makes money. I've furnished apartments using 0% financing, and I'll get anywhere from 50%-100% increase on rental income for a furnished apartment - while paying no interest on the loan! It's like putting extra money in your pocket every month for free.

I bought and assembled an ergodox some time ago. I found the key layout to be too esoteric for me to adapt my workflows to. The thumb cluster while a good thought is not as well positioned as on an Kinesis advantage to be extremely useful. I never ended finding a layout I liked.

The kinesis freestyle + vip accessory was my daily driver for years but it's a bit mushy and the build quality is questionable (I went through 3 boards, including one DoA). My new one is the Matias Ergo pro. Quite similar, but better in almost every way, except price.

That doesn't matter! Apple's entire argument, which I completely agree with, is that if they make this firmware, then it exists. It doesn't matter that they were only instructed to put it on one phone, once it's out there, there's almost no way they can make sure that firmware doesn't get picked up by other people, and placed on other phones, without users consent, without court orders.

There's no such thing as one-off and then it disappears in the world of software. Once it exists in the world it's only a matter of time before everyone has it.

WW3+ DISABLED BENIFITS TO BE STOPPED,ESA
I'm a pretty stupid spender. From personal experience, I find the snowball method is satisfying when, for example, you have 3 maxed-out high-interest CC's and 1 has a low max and probably the lowest of the interest rates (a difference of maybe 3%). But if there's a huge difference in interest rates, with the right numbers in your face, it's pretty easy to see how wasteful it can be. When I'm in payoff mode, I usually roll everything up in a spreadsheet and focus only on watching the total debt drop while paying the min on everything but the highest interest. A few other numbers I like to look at are lower % used credit and higher available credit, all the same numbers really, but it's satisfying to watch them all change, so I put them in the sheet. Obviously I can't completely hide the real numbers from myself, I keep them in a different tab.

Another mental factor I don't see mentioned often is the availability of the credit you payoff. If I put $1000 towards a CC that money is easily available if I need it. If I put $1000 towards one of those cards that can only be used for dental work, which are often the kind that have the highest interest rates, then that money is pretty much gone.

My understanding of debt is as the cost of shifting purchases in time, in the same way as barrkel [0].

Working out what the cost is going to be up front only works if you stick to your assumptions throughout repayment, which is a good way of understanding part of the problem with debt - even if you calculate properly against uncertain events for the average case, you as an individual can be caught out by bad luck.

Attempting to subsequently solve the consequences of your bad luck with further debt seems to me an instance of the gambler's fallacy [1], and is another important part of the problem with debt.

I've heard it said that stock price is the market's best estimate of the NPV of future cash flows. If that's true, does that mean that the market expects some of Yahoo's cash to disappear? I can imagine ways that it could: lawsuits, golden parachutes, maybe even stupid acquisitions...

In general, though, the market is not as rational as it's credited with being. Perfect information never exists, and emotion can distort prices; think of Black Tuesday, or all stock-market bubbles, or how MLPs are falling right now because of problems with Kinder Morgan (which isn't even an MLP in the first place).

Debt is basically an illusion that you owe money in the future. And people commit things for the future without thinking about the consequences. Its always easier to commit to eat healthy food next week, or planning to go to gym next year- But doing them in the present is what is difficult. For the very same reasons people are bad at saving and investments. They think they have a lot of time in the future, so they might as well splurge a little today.

From that perspective, you always feel you have time to buy a home, or start saving for a personal retirement fund. Or time to pay off your credit card bills, or the illusion that you borrow money for luxury today and defer it for the future.

As time passes and you become more cognizant of the fact that your energy levels and motivation to commit to large financial slogs like a house or a retirement fund are wearing thin, you just think you should've started being a little disciplined long back.

I believe the device is actually owned by the (cooperative) employer, the San Bernardino County Department of Public Health. The county is happy to provide the device and its contents, but Syed (or county policy) locked it down.
What I meant is that if you have a lot of things scheduled to be withdrawn from your bank account, and some sort of fraud or double charging happens, chaos ensues (as above.)

If you had a bunch of things timed to be taken from a charge account, and you exceeded your credit limit because some sort of fraud or double charging happens, identical chaos would ensue.

edit: and there's certainly not a vast difference in carrying $20K of credit and $20K in cash. We live in a world of negative interest rates.

Native speaker here; I knew it was correct, but I couldn't answer this question. Thanks.
I'm not sure I understand what Gladwell is getting at. The point of TKAM isn't to put Atticus Finch on a pedestal -- it's to paint a portrait of southern society in the 1930's. At this Harper Lee undoubtedly excels, to the extent that she reveals the prejudice of well-meaning men as well as racists. It's easy to criticize racism -- plenty of writers in the 30's did it. It's much harder to accurately pinpoint the flaws of well-meaning non-racists, and that's what makes TKAM an absolute jewel.

If Gladwell's point is that people are interpreting TKAM incorrectly, then I suppose I agree, but that's not what I'm getting out of this essay. What I'm getting is the distinct feeling that Gladwell wants to criticize Lee for pushing some sort of agenda... which is, well, bizarre.
The government censor in New Zealand wants web sites to submit their material, item by item, to the censor's office for approval.

Australia and the UK already have firewalls that filter all Internet traffic which "my bad, so sorry" seem to keep "accidentally" including all sorts of sites their backing legislation doesn't justify (at least as far as anyone can tell - the Australian government list is confidential). The UK is trying to roll out laws requiring all citizens to register with the government to view R18 material.

> If they allowed all bots but disallowed all non-bots, that would raise questions of what defines a "bot".

Maybe, but I think its a pretty easy distinction. They aren't even allowing all bots - they're allowing a white list of them. You're not just writing your own bot to get around it, you're pretending to be someone else's bot.

> But in practice, it seems they favor certain bots. Is it ok that the WSJ lets Google do things Google's competitors cannot?

That's the really important question. I personally have no context for answering except to say that I can see both sides argued. If you view their website as a physical store / private establishment, then I assume that they have every right to establish who has access to what and under what conditions.

Of course, that hampers a lot of legitimate use cases along the way.

You're leaving out Gary Johnson, the libertarian candidate. He's already come out in full support of Apple and privacy.

In the recent GOP town hall, Cruz did not come across as supporting privacy or Apple at all. Rubio took the most measured stance and seemed at least to understand the issue the best. He did not support Apple, but said he understood that breaking into the phone would make it available to all and the government needs to work more closes with SV for a solution. Of course that could just mean PRISM V2.
That's the speculation on the tor-talk mailing list. Makes sense to me. Also, there was a recent security audit of ricochet. It's possible that the auditors automated some kind of test framework with the side effect of creating thousands of new hidden service addresses.

I'm not arguing that. I'm arguing that if Apple claims it's too hard to comply, there's a much easier method. It's to Apple's benefit that they're given the option to make the software and sign it themselves.
