You're conflating a whole range of issues about diabetes into a single, misleading, factor. I don't know if it's intentional misrepresentation or genuine ignorance on your part.

Type 1 diabetes is not associated with being overweight and weight loss does not help. Indeed, rapid weight loss is often an early indication of the condition. Treatment with insulin (the only method available) typically results in weight gain, as the body recovers due to the newly available injected insulin. Often these patients start at normal weight range (i.e. BMI < 25) and are often substantially below typical weights prior to development of diabetes.

Type 2 diabetes has strong genetic factors and substantial evidence shows these, combined with weight and some other factors of diet, lead to an expression as diabetes. In these cases, some people have had significant improvements in their conditions due to calorie restriction (leading to weight loss but often it also means they've switched to a healthier diet in the process and that also helps). The mechanisms here are believed to be due to improved sensitivity to insulin which is still being naturally produced.

Various ratios of diabetes are quoted, but generally 1 in 20 of the white european population has diabetes and 1 in 20 of those has type 1 (and the other 19 type 2). Figures for Indian/Pakistani origin people are dramatically different if they move to Europe or North America and research suggests this is due to very different foods consumed [the 'western' versions being significantly less healthy than those from origin countries]. Much higher numbers of type 2 diabetes are found in these populations (reinforcing the factors as both genetics and types of food are involved). Other population groups differ too.

Treatments for diabetes typically create weight control issues as increased insulin or sensitivity to insulin promotes body fat storage.

It's untrue (and frankly verging on offensive) to simply blame diabetics for their condition because they are obese or overweight. Addressing and treating the condition is significantly more complex and weight control may be one of the few elements the patient has any input to, while many other factors are entirely outwith their control and they bear no culpability for.
> Apple can make that happen trivially.

Trivial to whom? Apple certainly does not view the act of complying with this order as trivial.
Is it just me or the idea of trusting a random IP as your authoritative DNS server sounds like a phenomenally bad idea in terms of security? At least, when you pay for a service like UnblockUS, there's a contract and a certain understanding of accountability, which you don't have here...
A lot of people are interested by nothing.
Nope. There's a few things involved why this is a no.

The brain can only run on glucose. Because of that, the liver produces glucose from 'whatever', including pure protein. Leftover glucose ends up in the body, which can only be dealt with insulin.

Now, things like alcohol attack the glucose emitted by the liver, as it must handle alcohol before anything else.

But no, at least for type 1s and t2's with severely degraded pancreatic function.

For me, I'm recent T2 but handling it well with protein and fats to great effect (-40 lbs, normal blood sugar) since December 7. I'm sticking to roughly 'atkins style diet' to a great effect, called "Eating to the Meter".

A fascinating read that I rarely see mentioned in these kind of threads is Rick Snoman's Dance Music Manual - for anyone interested in synths and their role in electronic music, it provides tons of information on the when/where/why/how various synth techniques became popular in different styles of dance music and gives good introductory information on how to take the raw synth components you can create in software or hardware (waveforms, filters, envelopes, etc) and turn them into the kinds of sounds common in various dance music genres.

The book is written with a slant towards the aspiring dance music producer, but, it should be plenty interesting for anyone who wants to have a bit more musical interest in synthesis beyond the purely mathematical angle.

Apple Is Selling You a Phone, Not Civil Liberties
Just use it on a "safe" device like a PS3 or something...
Just one data point:

I have Crohn's Disease. Up until a few years ago, I took Asacol for this. This is one of a whole class of drugs based on the active ingredient "mesalamine": Asacol is specialized in that it's got a coating that keeps it from dissolving until it gets to the colon. Somebody found that this coating (notice: not the drug itself, just an enteric coating) might be a risk for pregnant mothers - something that I will never be. So they stopped making Asacol, and came out with a new "Asacol HD", which is still good old-fashioned mesalamine, but with a slightly different enteric coating - and with a brand new patent.

Although I don't have any evidence to support the idea, it seems suspicious that this revelation about the coating being questionable during pregnancy, came to light not very long before the expiration of the patent on original Asacol.

So there exists a small group of patients (pregnant moms) who might have had trouble with original-packaging Asacol. Rather than putting these patients on other mesalamine meds (like Pentasa or Delzicol) for 9 months, that was parlayed into a need to discontinue the entire Asacol product and come out with a new one.

In this case, it seems that a desire (or a pretense) to make something safe for all sub-groups, even those that are small and easily segmented, becomes the engine for renewing the patent, and thus keeping generics out of the market.

What's very sad is that there are actually people out there who would read your comment and believe you to be a terrorist sympathizer. Maybe you're not even just a sympathizer... maybe you're a potential future risk! Once you say anything that could be interpreted as defending a terrorist, a pedophile, or similar evil being... you may as well be one of them.
Here is the breakdown for the quants at the bank I worked for in 1995-1999 (I may have forgotten a few people):

Cornell physics PhDs: 3

Harvard physics PhDs: 2

Princeton physics PhDs: 2

Univ of Penn physics PhD: 1

Other physics PhDs: 2

Cornell applied math PhD: 1

Other applied math PhD: 1

Cornell mechanical engineering PhD: 1

Univ of Chicago finance PhD: 1

So, if by "dropout" you mean that they didn't complete their PhDs, then no, that's wrong. If by "dropout" you mean people leaving physics, then yes, it's very common (especially for theorists -- all physicists on the list above where theorists except maybe one or two).
This is straightforward: Apple already has a backdoor into the key derivation firmware (technically, the OS).

If they didn't have it, they couldn't be required to use it.
Do you have sources I can read on the Ben Carson stuff? That sounds interesting.
Every time there's a health care post people chime in with the useless comment, "this is really weird to those of us not in the USA."

Jeez, really? Wow.
That looks interesting, but I can't find much information on your site, it seems to be a stockish install. Is there any more info somewhere?
Yes, if you could recover the SE key (or factory-burned SoC key for older phones), you could crack the passcode on your own cluster rather than being limited to what the phone hardware/software can do.
That's not at all similar to how packets travel through the internet. Mesh networking is a very complex arena that deals with many issues that don't have known good solutions.
I wonder if anything interesting comes up if you correlate this data with the license plate camera data that Oakland released (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10642139).
The whole article is exceedingly disingenuous though. Which makes me not really believe their objections.

For example, calling it a "creating a whole new OS" is basically a lie. Saying it would weaken all devices is basically a lie. Unless what they mean to say is they cannot fathom a way to make a firmware that only works on one specific phone. But if that's the case they should have said that.
> They either have running water and some semblance of infrastructure like roads and power, or they don't.

That really doesn't apply to subsistence farming communities, for example in sub-Saharan Africa. Population will be much more dispersed than in more urbanised developed countries. You can have tiny farmsteads with a dozen people every 100 yards covering thousands of miles of apparently rural land. Connecting mains water or electricity is impossibly expensive, but cell phones can still be widely used though communal charging.
Ah, the ol' COINTEL conspiracy (I use that word without its usual negative connotation).

I'm always surprised by people's ability to assume "the Government isn't corrupt this time!" after time and time and time and time (and time and time)... and time... and time... and time again, the Government was "that corrupt that time". While it should never be assumed that they for certain are, it should always remain a possibility until reasonably argued against.

Of course, one can't prove a negative - so the line of where it has been "reasonably argued against" is a very gray area. It's easy to cross the line into "full-blown looney conspiracist".

Which, going along the COINTEL mindset, is exactly what a Government would want: The general population dismissing anyone critical of the government as being a looney nutcase...because the Government couldn't possibly be corrupt.

As someone who has read too much into COINTEL operations and literature (and at one point wanted to right a book about various COINTEL tactics) - it's really hard to dismiss ideas like the one you bring up - even on grounds of "there's no evidence for that".
I'm not going to get into the details about the finer points of making espresso but the author has no idea what he is talking about or has not visited a decent cafe.

I have enjoyed espresso for many years from little Italian bakeries in Toronto and Montreal, to wonderful coffee shops in DFW, Austin and almost every place I have ever been in America and Canada does it right.

About the only thing I can agree with is that Starbucks is swill. It is like drinking poison once you have enjoyed a good espresso or for that matter coffee.

Starbucks along with all chains use essence to make their coffee taste the same everywhere. It is flavored and doesn't require a high grade of coffee bean.

My advice is to visit these small micro roasters that create some the best espresso in the world. Better than anything you can find in Italy.

>I am still on the fence about being "overweight" being a direct cause of diabetes and not an effect.

The parent did not bring causation into the discussion, you did.

You're right to doubt it. Metabolic syndrome is the common theme http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/ms and it likely leads to both obesity and diabetes, among many other ailments.
This looks pretty neat, although I'm leery of the react.js dependencies as I don't do a lot of react development. I'm sure I could wrap it up or something if needs be. There's a lot to be said for this new move in third-generation rich text editors to move away from relying on contenteditable and the DOM as the source of state. A lot of different projects are doing this becuase contenteditable is clearly not a great solution.

Still, am I missing any kind of delta event emitter? I'd like to be able to hook edit events and push operational transform content over the wire to support collaborative editing. Other projects like ProseMirror, Quill.js and maybe Mobiledoc support this (I haven't used mobiledoc yet, but it looks like that's going to be supported Soon).

Don't forget CALEA[1], which is done in plain sight: Telcos don't have the ability to build infrastructure that could frustrate law enforcement's attempts to listen. They were so used to the state of affairs where they could listen to conversations that it was legally mandated that technology cater to their tastes at the expense of privacy and security.

You could argue that parliaments are a small elite population.

This is what we mean when we use the word "democracy" today, unless you live in ancient Greece or some small village.

So having experts on technology,security and privacy being overruled by an uneducated mob is madness, not democracy.
(biased author of Mobiledoc-Kit here)

The past year or so has really seen a resurgence of browser-based text editors. Off the top of my head I can think of 4 editors/editor-frameworks launched in the past year (Mobiledoc-Kit, ProseMirror, Trix, and now Draft.js). Browsers are creeping toward exposing all the events that are necessary for interpreting the meaning of a user as they input text. (Some notable exceptions remain, such as an event that would be fired when a spelling correction is accepted, but mutation observers provide a fallback for cases where it's not otherwise possible to catch the input on the way in.)

A major focus of Mobiledoc-Kit, which seems to have some overlap with Draft.js, is on exposing an API that allows programmers to programmatically interact with the internal (structured) document. Our goal is to allow developers to be able to construct editors that fit snugly fit their use case, whether that's building their own UI for a toolbar, or more complex procedural rules for document (e.g., add a constraint that there can only be one "H1" section in a document and disallow adding a second one).

Since Mobiledoc-Kit was built for a publisher originally (Bustle), the ability to intersperse text with richer content was a goal from the start. So it has a "card" concept that allows adding any rich content (embedded tweets, videos, slidehows, etc.). In fact, the Mobiledoc-Kit demo page [1] has a demo where a Codemirror editor is embedded inside the Mobiledoc editor.

It's great to see so much new energy in the browser editor world. I am hopeful that as browser features and new editors and editor features converge, we'll see some exciting new developments that broaden the perspective on what sort of content is possible to author from within a web page.

The government already does compel companies to perform work. Every other thing Apple already did to comply with the order was work. You think it was free? There are myriad examples of companies being compelled to do work to help an investigation.

If Apple could make the case that the change would be so burdensome that they can't feasibly do it without harming the company, they have a case to resist. I don't believe it, but they have to make that case.

2 - That sounds 100% expected. There is no such thing as a group message between iMessage and SMS/MMS. That is readily apparent the moment someone adds a non-iMessage identifier to a new group message. You're asking that the group iMessage experience degrade because you left. That sounds selfish to me.
They need to separate the (at least) 60% of type-2 diabetic patients whose disease is caused by self-inflicted obesity from the people with type-1 diabetes (and the 10% of type-2 diabetic patients who aren't obese.)

See this study on nih.gov: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17227327 "60% of cases of [type 2] diabetes could have been prevented if everyone had been of normal weight."

To those type-2 diabetics that are obese, they should be strongly encouraged to lose weight rather than depending on our insulin supply.

I think it would be a good idea to rename obesity-induced diabetes as "Obesity Related Metabolic Syndrome" (ORMS) to separate those with type-1 or non-obese type-2 diabetes from those who chose the obese lifestyle and got sick.

The biggest feature that Github provides is its popularity as a central meeting ground for project discovery and collaboration. Some people are only looking for git hosting and don't care about the community aspect, so they could jump ship to Bitbucket or Gitlab.

In that respect, if you're looking for a social network to keep in contact with a general group of people, Facebook is the way to go, and not the myriad of smaller sized social networks. If you're only looking for communication with a small group of people who haven't committed to anything, then you could jump ship to Google+ or whatever. Size of community is the salient feature, not the app.

The article talked about type-2 patients. Our NIH estimates that 60% of them would be cured if they simply ate less: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17227327
"Dear CEO, I've made some bad decisions in my life and it has led me to living in a place with astronomical living costs, and my only being worth $8 an hour on the market. Instead of taking responsibility for my life and my circumstances, I implore you to pay me more than I'm worth."

Dear boona,

Do you think it's okay to pay people below the standard of living costs? Nothing personal but as someone that's worked for nearly a decade in blue collar jobs (manufacturing mostly) I find your callous attitude disturbing. All I can say is that if you think is entitlement then you would be correct; it's justified entitlement that if someone works they know they can survive on that wage beyond the bare minimum. It shouldn't matter if it's in a tech company in the Bay Area or some spray booth at Beechcraft, the wage needs to fit the market which includes the cost of living. If that wage is outstripped by it then that company needs to either acknowledge it and raise the wages or kindly STFU about such letters and take it like professionals (i.e. don't fire people at will).

Yours truly,

A working class millennial.
It's a very bad idea to wait until after the precedent is set to try to ensure that this does not become routine. It's crucial to have the debate now, before the precedent is set, because of the way the US legal system works. If you can establish that under the AWA Apple must comply with this request for a backdoor, then future attempts to compel the creation of additional backdoors on any electronic device (think "Internet of Things") are approved as a matter of course.

While you might believe that Apple is capable of keeping the backdoor from being used unlawfully (although, why would you when they clearly failed to secure the 5c from this attack in the first place!) how about every other electronics manufacturer in the world?
Your comment reminded me of a video I saw on Youtube which highlights the utility of having a reliable beacon for rescue services to track your location:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTiGU5TiYCE

They were flying a Cessna 170B into a remote part of Alaska in August 1989 when they encountered an engine failure. They survived, and the plane was recovered shortly thereafter (performing an engine swap in the field no less!), but I think it illustrates pretty well the sorts of circumstances where you want something reliable for search and rescue teams to follow. (The video and its description are light on details regarding the type of device used.)
Are single quotes the preferred way of making strings nowadays then? It seems to be pretty common among new JS frameworks/libraries source code that I see nowadays.

vs

var asdf = 'asdf';

Checks and balances are fine in theory. In practice, the executive and judiciary are overpowered. Judicial review quickly becomes judicial activism. Executive orders are a unilateral get-out-of-checks-and-balances-free card in many cases, lamentations of scholars notwithstanding. Additionally, there is no proper "federalism" so to speak of. It's a marble cake federalism of various entangled relationships and procurements between federal, state and private institutions with disparate enforcement and contractual obligations.

Americans have deified their Founding Fathers to such an absurd extent that they seem to be unable to think critically. That maybe Hamilton and Madison were engaging in wishful thinking. That maybe the anti-federalists were right. That maybe Henry Clay's American System and his antecedent in Hamilton largely botched the ideal separation-of-powers republic from the beginning.
But as forrestthewoods pointed out, if the improvements in the new version are so marginal, then you'd think there would be a booming market for the old version if it was cheaper (generic). So what's stopping the generic manufacturers from cranking out the old versions? Seems like there would be lots of money to be made, unless patients (the market) actually did value the incremental improvements and would likely chose not to purchase the original formulation.
