> no statements can be made whether the poorer health in vegetarians in our study is caused by their dietary habit or if they consume this form of diet due to their poorer health status. We cannot state whether a causal relationship exists, but describe ascertained associations. Moreover, we cannot give any information regarding the long-term consequences of consuming a special diet nor concerning mortality rates

So it's also entirely possible those with existing chronic conditions and poorer subjective health were more likely to try vegetarian eating (reverse causality).

But no, it gets worse ...

> While 0.2% (31) of the interviewees were pure vegetarians (57.7% female), 0.8% (124) reported to be vegetarians consuming milk and eggs (77.3% female), and 1.2% (186) to be vegetarians consuming fish and/or eggs and milk (76.7% female). 23.6% (3,651) reported to combine a carnivorous diet with lots of fruits and vegetables (67.2% female), 48.5% (7,505) to eat a carnivorous diet less rich in meat (60.8% female), and 25.7% (3,977) a carnivorous diet rich in meat (30.1% female)

> Since the three vegetarian diet groups included a rather small number of persons (N = 343), they were analyzed as one dietary habit group. Moreover, since the vegetarian group was the smallest, we decided to match each of the vegetarians (1) with an individual of each other dietary habit group (carnivorous diet rich in fruits and vegetables (2), carnivorous diet less rich in meat (3) and a carnivorous rich in meat (4)).

31 vegans out of a group of 15,000 people, and the rest of the "vegetarians" weren't even clearly defined, nor any control on how long they've been veg*n. Overall, this is a very poorly designed study with several obvious flaws.

And anyway, common ovo-lacto vegetarians still include harmful dairy products in their diet, so even if all this were true, I wouldn't be surprised.

Finally, here is a newer study by the same author on the same data with an entirely contradictory conclusion:

http://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs00508-013-0483-3

> Subjects eating a carnivorous diet less rich in meat self-report poorer health, a higher number of chronic conditions, an enhanced vascular risk, as well as lower quality of life. In conclusion, our results have shown that consuming a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is associated with better health and health-related behavior. Therefore, public health programs are needed for reducing the health risks associated with a carnivorous diet.

Near work hypothesis cannot explain way too many things, so current thinking is that it does contribute much to myopia. Consider, for example, very rapid rise of myopia among Eskimo people after they started to adopt Western lifestyle. Before that they did a lot of close work like sewing or working with skin in bad light without causing myopia.

At the end of the day, how much time are you willing to spend on research to save less than $20/month?

DigitalOcean works for tens of thousands of people. Their $20/month is more than you ever likely to need. And if you're really cheap, they also have $5/month. Which is about the same as proverbial cup of coffee.

Trying to save on $5-$20 monthly expense makes little sense and there is a thousand of places on the internet better than HN to do such research.
>A job loss, recession, illness

These are all great reasons to have an emergency fund which covers the payments on all your debts (and your other expenses) for a few months. Then if you're in a situation where you need to use it, you can make a decision about whether to try to offload the debt or just pay it out of savings.

I'd take $20,000 in savings + $20,000 in debts any day over $0 in savings + debt free. Obviously you need to factor in interest rates, but with cash and debt you have options. With no cash and no debt you are screwed should anything go wrong. (Although the best is still cash + no debt).
That's more to the point I was getting at. There's the legal situation, and then the political one. Selling shares in a private company could raise some red flags from management thinking an employee wants to cash out and bail, management worried about the perception of the company's health (internally and externally), management concerns about loss of control, etc.

All reasons why managers might make life difficult for said employee after the fact.

Are you using React? I’m curious if this is your feedback on the pace of changes, or if this is just a guess.

In reality React API surface area is pretty small so most changes are automated by codemods. Codemods are programs that modify your source code. They work pretty well because Facebook uses them on a large scale.

Not everything is covered by codemods but generally the feeling I get from talking to the community is that React moves at an acceptable rate, and changes take about a day to apply once a three months for most apps. Deprecation warnings also give you several months to fix use cases that will be unsupported in the next version.

In return, this allows React to become a better library and not stagnate. I see your point in theory but please talk to the people using React, and you might find that it is not a problem in practice.
And, to the degree that those are actually illegal, they should be prosecuted. And if they aren't illegal, some of them almost certainly should be.
Two interesting possibilities to consider:
1) The government has already gotten past the iPhone security and read the data.

2) Apple already has the software they were asked to create.
Interesting; Mac OS double-click highlighting doesn't actually handle all the examples given in the article. e.g. deadbeef00000000.1 works, but deadbeef.1 doesn't. I guess the first segment needs to contain a digit, which perhaps triggers a mode where the period is interpreted as a decimal point.
> I take ZFS from Solaris. I rewrite it to work with Linux. In which sense is this not equivalent to my analogy? The examples you're giving are not equivalent, because in each case the work was written without deriving from the other copyrighted work.

I take it that you never actually read the ZFSOnLinux source code.

It is not really rewritten. There is a compatibility layer in place to prevent the need to rewrite much of the code and a very small percentage of the original kernel code actually changed to support Linux, but what did change was meant to use for interfaces that are provided by the kernel to allow proprietary modules to be ported, which suggests any license is fine.

However, the claim that writing a brand new TV show script inspired by another forms a derivative work is to claim that writing things from scratch forms a derivative work.

> That's an entirely arbitrary distinction.

It is the distinction lawyers are making.

> No, I said that lawyers had told me that ZoL was an infringing work but that we wouldn't know for sure unless a court decided on it: http://www.phoronix.com/forums/forum/software/general-linux-....

Do you have bar numbers of these lawyers? Is there any reason to think that they were thinking that zfs.ko somehow used GPL exported symbols or some other thing that is not actually true that does not involve taking your word for it? I did have one person going to law school tell me that it was a derivative work because of that. He did not think he could claim otherwise after an explanation that the code does not do that.

Given that your legal views are so incredibly divorced from those of actual lawyers with whom I have talked, I am not inclined to believe you when you say that they had no misunderstanding, especially when it seems that you have never actually read the code to be able to be sure of that.

> Nobody wants that.

Your claims are inconsistent with that.
It appears that they represent boards that are supported by the IDE. It probably makes sense to state what you're compatible with (e.g. a monitor might advertise it works with both Macs and PCs)
Paying phone and utility bills counts towards you score as well. We've bought two cars and a house with near zero (or zero for many years) credit card useage. No problems at all.

Our credit score were upper good before and near perfect now. We've not used a credit card in eight years.

You can get a free copy of your credit report once a year from each major company - you could go ahead and order them just to see where you are at.
You've basically swung too far to the other side of the spectrum, and you will be penalized for not having a credit history if you ever seek a large loan.

If you consider your credit card to be a no-fee (or low-fee) payment mechanism that aggregates your monthly expenditures into a single bill, you can have savings theoretically (though in reality, probably not usefully) appreciating over the course of the month in a bank account, and then pay the bill for your expenditures at the end.

This simple money management technique reduces fees paid for ATM access, allows your assets to maximally appreciate, and builds up a very solid credit history. Credit Cards and Lines of Credit aren't evil; they're useful, but they're not hard to use in a manner that will bite you.

I started to write something like this for my non-profit projects using Twilio, but it's crazy feeling to have to reinvent the wheel and do something so rudimentary. Will definitely try to use your service, Matt, but here are my suggestions:

- it would be nice to offer lower prices for non-profits;

- any plans for an API?
Really? Most big businesses in America devote incredible resources to following the law. Of course there are prominent examples to the contrary, but those are the exceptions, not the norm.
I've been in the "its probably a unicorn bubble" camp and I think this is evidence of that, but does this really make a difference outside of those companies and their VCs?

What kind of situation could turn this into a systemic risk? Institutional investors getting involved? Is there any evidence of that happening? "Unicorn derivatives"? Is there any indication such a thing might exist?

Seems like it is possible that a unicorn crash could just leave a bunch of rich guys in Cali somewhat less rich than when they started.

And of course employees might be hurt by this I guess... especially the young ones who traded work for worthless stock. But you know what... I signed up for the army after 9/11 so I know what its like to get bamboozled in your 20's... it sucks but you get over it. If I was in their shoes though I would probably looking to cut my losses and liquidate too.
Most of these issues mentioned are created by trying to treat IPv6 like IPv4 instead of adopting modern techniques for IP address management, automation, named objects in network device configs, etc. I've only been using IPv6 in production for about a year and it's already second nature to me.
On /some/ keyboard layouts that may be true, but remember, on different layouts, you get different results.

On German layout, for example, `:` is on `Shift` + `.` – and therefore just as easy to use as `.`

No they devote incredible resources to covering their ass when shit hits the fan. Obviously compliance is another issue entirely. But they are always lobbying hard to get rid of that, until they get rid of it and shit hits the fan again. Ex. Enron.

Certainly, some of the facts are dictated by the engineering.

However, the set of people "authorized" is not, at least not from a legal perspective. This is what the case law says. The fact that the set of people who technically _can_ access the data is different from the set of people legally authorized to access the data.

That might not be what the engineers who designed the system, run it, and produce the content intended, but that is what the law says.

It's a bummer the two disagree. But only one of the two systems put you in jail if you cross them.

You and I may wish it were otherwise, but wishing isn't going to make it so.
Using a special TLD for IP6 addressing is the sanest proposal I've read here so far. Add the ip4 TLD while we're at it.

I just had this dystopian vision where a non-profit operated .ip6 to work as discussed then went defunct and a domain-grabber (named Network Solutions) bought it. Everybody scrambled to patch their recursive resolvers real fast :-)

Could anyone chime in and explain how they might work around this issue?
I wasn't intending on making it a hunt for the cheapest and biggest and most oversold provider. I'm looking for folks who have had positive experiences with different providers. Comparing across numbers is easy, but first-hand experience is quite valuable.

Example: say someone is going to be bootstrapping a new venture, and need something in between a $5 DO droplet and a complex AWS setup. Maybe there are gems to be discovered, as DO once was.
I'm not sure how to address your first concern (readability), because I don't have the context in which you would need to distinguish one version from another; as opposed to something presenting the versions to you, like a program, website, listing somewhere.

The format should be programmatically scanned for, and extracted, and represented in various ways; days ago, hours ago, minutes ago; sorted by newest, oldest; grouped by last three months, etc.

> And it also doesn't have any of the benefits of semver, like signaling breaking changes.

That's the function of tags. Agree on using #Fix for a corrective release, #Feature for a feature release, and whatever else makes sense. Ideally, there would be a minimum, standard vocabulary that makes sense.
Offtopic: Assuming your account is a throwaway you just created so as not to reveal your selling history, and you based the name on some variation of "throwaway", the month, the date and the year.... then you used the wrong year. ;)

I think it does. How did the society become post-scarcity and free energy? Teams of scientists working in Federation research labs, Federation programs that make the fruits of that technology available to everyone.
Lab test, or medical practice in general, is a well protected industry here in States. The public wasn't educated well enough to understand lab tests at all so that professional opinion IS REQUIRED to understand your own health.

I might be over cynical here, but I blame that both medical education and health care industry are restricted and protected to cause a very inefficient public health system in US. Thus normal people without a MD has no clue to judge good product vs bad product. In the case of Theranos, I don't think most of understand what's going on with the test. How the test works, how to judge whether it's effective, how to compare pros and cons between different products. We have no idea. I doubt whether the report himself understands the real deal behind the scene, or even investors of Theranos understands it.

Eh, there's an important thing to realize about working at a company like Google.

1. As a programmer, you will feel most productive working on a project by yourself where you just pound out thousands of lines of code.

2. The secret to how you get 100x more done than any individual programmer can do is that you have 200 programmers working together feeling 50% productive.

3. Google has no interest in projects that can be accomplished by one brilliant engineer working by themselves.

It can be really unsatisfying for a programmer, because we all learn to program individually and that's what we base our "am I being productive?" feeling on, but it turns out that you can do some really amazing things if you're willing to put that aside and work together, even if it means spending half your day in meetings and checking email or writing design docs that no one reads.

And if you're feeling challenged, it's probably because you're doing something convoluted and even you won't remember how it works in six months and no one will be able to maintain it and you can actually get nearly equivalent performance out of three mapreduces and a drop-in machine learning model, so maybe you should just do that?

It's not for everyone, but at the end of the day would you rather feel productive and challenged, or actually change the world a little bit at a time?
I actually find that article is projecting quite a bit. The start of the criticism of the character of Finch begins with this: If Finch were a civil-rights hero, he would be brimming with rage at the unjust verdict. But he isn’t.

Finch isn't a Facebook-era observer who has just heard the story and the emotions are fresh. He's the victim's lawyer, who has been working hard on the case for months, all the time knowing that the jury would almost certainly declare for guilt. He leaves the court a tired, defeated man who tried hard to make it otherwise.

The author of the article declares that he should have been trembling with rage - perhaps the author should spend time in an actual courtroom observing how lawyers behave, rather than the ones on TV. The first time I saw an actual trial in progress, I was shocked - it was so boring. The lawyers didn't wander around the courtroom; lean over jurors to talk to them one-to-one; point accusatory fingers at the current witness...

Anyway, while the article is interesting, all through the article I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. Finch is defending his client in the best ways he knows how, using tactics he think are most likely to work. He's not half-arsing the job, but working his best. But the article never drops the other shoe; never actually articulates what Finch should have done in the novel's context to make him the hero the article takes great pains to point out that he's not. As best as I can see, if Finch had've visibly shown he was miffed at the verdict, that would have been enough to turn him from "racial apologist" to "civil rights hero".

The disingenuity of the article is summed up at the end. Quoting the sheriff saying that he's not going to go public with the cause of Ewell's death, because Radley is a shy man who generally wants to be left alone, the author instead translates this as literally "the sheriff is stopping Radley from getting FREE CAKE!". Regardless of whether or not you agree with the actions of the sheriff, this is an atrociously bad reading of what was happening.
But Apple is only able to do anything at all because it's an old phone without security features present in later models.

Also, any other manufacturers' phones would be trivially hacked in the same case, because the firmware can be overwritten without needing to be signed. Apple is pretty much the only one that requires signing.
