I think people really underestimate the value add from "easy, free returns" for clothes shopping.

I remember using ASOS 10 years ago and at that time most online retailers had poor returns policies. (Legally all must have a 14 day returns), but ASOS went further with free returns and even provided shipping labels and bags for returns with the original shipment.

I think my then girlfriend returned maybe 70% of everything ordered, it was just how it worked. You'd browse, impulse purchase then see how it looks and probably return it.

As a result they took almost all of her actual purchases. And because they provided shipping bags/labels/etc they no doubt reduced the turnaround time so they got stock back quicker and reduced the chance of lost or damaged stock they couldn't then sell on.

I don't know but I hope that most retailers have caught on and provide similar now.
Deleting user data with one month's notice doesn't seem like the right track record for a B2B pitch...I mean, no matter how low the B2B cost of their service, the perceived risk entailed when entrusting data seems high.
Its supposed to be 'built-in' to the emissions standard. The lab levels are so low, because that makes the road emissions in an acceptable range. Everybody involved knows this; its not a secret; there's no news here.
Upgrading minor versions is the way to go. It still seemed like a pain to upgrade since Play Framework has changed quite a bit in the 2.X branch -- more than you would think. I am not trying to trash Play Framework since when you get it up and running its simple the best. I'm a big fan of the JVM.

> there are severely underweight people (like my dad, who is literally skin and bones, and I mean concentration camp prisoner of war underweight where you see every rib from the back) who still somehow developed type 2 diabetes. So, there has to be a strong generic component to type 2 diabetes.

That may not have been T2DM. One of the things research has revealed over the past 30 or so years is that there are far more manifestations of diabetes than the old two-mode model though. Incidentally, that is one reason the types were renamed "Type 1" and "Type 2", to acknowledge that there are likely more types. There is a particular subtype known as Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults (LADA), which some researchers have named "Type 1.5" because it shows signs of both T1DM and T2DM. It initially presents as T2DM, though, so people are often misdiagnosed at first. This manifestation has only been known for about 20 years, though, so it isn't surprising.

> Also, no one gets cured of diabetes type 2, you just control your blood glucose levels better and in effect alleviate the symptoms of diabetes, but you still have diabetes. If you think you don't, do a glucose tolerance test (i.e. drink a sweet drink and measure your blood glucose 1 hr later) and you will find that your glucose tolerance is still compromised no matter how well you managed to control your glucose levels by avoiding eating high glycemic food for life.

This is flat-out contradicted by Dr. Taylor's research. He is demonstrating that patients on a hypocaloric diet, either from bariatric surgery or just a medically-supervised diet, can (and in many cases do) regain normal glucose control after about 10% loss of body weight. I personally went from borderline diabetic to normal glucose control (I can pass an OGTT) after a four-month, 35lb weight loss. I changed nothing about my diet except amount of consumption.

I want to recommend Chromebooks to people or buy them for family members, but the 4 years of support is way too short. I think it should 6 or 7. If Google is serious about competing against Windows on the desktop, then it needs to do that. I don't care what their excuses are for not pushing it longer than 4 years. It needs to happen. Period.

I also hope that Google re-focuses its efforts on pushing more ARM-based Chromebooks into the market. The latest chips are significantly more powerful than Intel's Atom based chips, and the most high-end ones are very close or equal to Core M, for 1/10 of the price (I wish I was exaggerating).

Microsoft failed in helping ARM compete against Intel, because Windows still depends too much on x86. Chrome OS doesn't. It's architecture agnostic, and it's time to act like it. Yet, like 95% of the Chromebooks on the market are Intel-based, more than even Windows-based PCs (where there is a higher percentage of AMD-based machines). That's unacceptable to me, and I will boycott Chromebooks until that changes as well.

Not OP, but both Uber and Lyft tie bonuses to weekly/monthly acceptance rate and rides completed. I can't recall numbers, and they have been tricky to find on my phone. But I too can anecdotally confirm that Lyft drivers seem to enjoy it more in the Bay Area, and one of the reasons I've heard is that the bonus structure is a bit more liberal.
One could also say the same about Windows - an ecosystem filled with nothing but virus and malware infected apps.
Unfortunately I can only summarize.

On the starvation study it's merely one example that highlights how calorie restriction affects people. Yes, it's an extreme version, but it is different only in degree from any other calorie restriction, and when people try to reduce by X calories, it's probably a linear effect; more restriction, more of these effects. Oddly though, fasting tends not to have these effects, it's only in sustained calorie restriction, so fasting in various forms is one of the tools people can use to lose weight.

As for the lowered energy output Jason Fung wrote (pg. 53 of the Obesity Code, "One major problem is that the basal metabolic rate does not stay stable. Decreased caloric intake can decrease basal metabolic rate by up to 40 percent. We shall see that increased caloric intake can increase it by 50%."

Nodejs is a minor JavaScript runtime, and the backward compatibility is not really an issue:

There is breaking changes in the node standard library from time to time. That's the reason it was forked into io.js last year, and why they now use SemVer.

The real compatibility issue is the web ! I built a small website for an association several years ago, it still works.

What if Google Chrome decided to remove whatever JavaScript features I used at this time ?

What's wrong with "experience the impossible"? Seems like a reasonable description of the situation to me, that's the whole point of magic.
There's a huge philosophical difference between require and import/include. The main technical difference is that require is scoped! Philosophically require is a object. While import is a bunch of code.

The Node community deliberately do not want code includes. We want you to make reusable modules instead.

Copy all your include files and the include files of your include files into one file. Then you will also see the problem.

I was thinking that this might cause some sort of self correcting mechanism to come into place. If a study is useful, and others want to build upon it, it will need to be replicated.

If on the other hand its just a novelty study that doesn't lead to any further studies (and happens to be flawed), it will be forgotten about.

Curious if other think this would be the case?

The English language seems to be missing some word that other languages have.

In Dutch, "goochelen", performed by a "goochelaar" is doing tricks in a show, where you know it's all illusions but it's still very impressive. On the other hand, "toveren", done by a "tovenaar" would be doing something supernatural. Typically a "goochelaar" is somebody on a stage with a black top hat, while a "tovenaar" is more like an old man with a long white beard and a purple pointy hat in fiction.

In English, both seem to be called "magic". It's very confusing...

A team from Newcastle University, UK, has shown that Type 2 diabetes is caused by fat accumulating in the pancreas -- and that losing less than one gram of that fat through weight loss reverses the diabetes. "So if you ask how much weight you need to lose to make your diabetes go away, the answer is one gram! But that gram needs to be fat from the pancreas. At present the only way we have to achieve this is by calorie restriction by any means -- whether by diet or an operation."

Whether it's okay to lie to them has no obvious bearing on whether it's necessary. Where did you learn morality? A shallow reading of the New Testament?
"Limp mode" is a much better solution, switching that on will basically guarantee the fluid gets refilled in short order.

And actually I'm not so quick to assume this is only a stupid decision either. Hanlon's razor still applies but there is also a distinct possibility that this regulation was "encouraged" as a play to make small diesel cars less competitive.

Would it be fair that if one cannot cancel by email then one cannot subscribe by mail since the same risks exist (of authentication and tamper-proof) exist?
It makes more sense once you realize they're talking about bunny-in-hat magic and not magic magic.
There's even worse ones - Gyms that make you sign up for a membership that auto-renews every year and bills your credit card monthly.

They require you mail a physical letter requesting cancellation via certified mail! And you must prove you are the account holder and then wait 6-8 weeks for them to process your cancellation, so you might just end up auto-renewed for another year unless you cancelled two months in advance.

It's actually a wonder some of these business models based on theft by deception/fraud don't get prosecuted/sued out of existence...
Full respect if you used it in the army. The giggling was probably because the GPS was thought to be "tacticool" (http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Tacticool) as opposed to tactical.
I remember back in the early 2000s getting pestered by a particularly annoying junk fax spammer calling my home line every morning at 4-5AM. Fortunately, thanks to being an early adopter of VOIP, and someone with more free time than I have now, I could have a little fun. Turned out the origin numbers for the junk fax calls were not spoofed, and always came from a block of phone numbers that matched a pattern. So I did a few simple web searches and identified the company behind it (some marketing company in Florida). It didn't take too long to get the personal phone number of that company's CEO. Then just programmed the VOIP box to forward all calls from that pattern of numbers back to the company's CEO. It took about a week for the calls to stop.

See Markus Ottela's Tinfoil Chat. He incorporated many suggestions from several of us in high-assurance security. Only guy doing FOSS to do that IIRC.

Slick is good. Although we use the plain SQL interface because it offers the most flexibility. The docs for Slick should be much much better since it can get fairly complex. I would say its not very newbie friendly especially if you trying to learn Scala at the same time. When you figure out Slick it's very easy to use.
This looks nice and clean. However, I don't think there is enough information about the projects a person had worked on. For example, if you search "IBM Research," one project that comes up is Watson.
Two people are associated with it, and there is a general description about each person that sounds like it came out of their bio pages. If I was looking to recruit someone, I would like to know a little bit more about what he did for that project, rather than a broad description about machine learning. Linkedin provided a much better description of his role with the Watson project.

Also, I assume this is because the page is still in its early stages, but the page was out of data. One of the persons in question has moved on from IBM Research to another company.
This leads me to my second question - is every piece of information on the page entered by the user or do you have some crawler that finds relevant information for each person and adds it automatically?
Some type of big data analytics algorithm (graphs or tensor decomposition algorithms maybe) would probably be useful in gathering information so that each person only needs to edit rather than add information for himself one by one. (e.g., google scholar page)
460 Developers' Perceptions of AngularJS
Using "limp mode" with warnings to ensure the tank stays filled (and the car does not run at full throttle unless it is filled) is a much better solution.

When the sales guy told me the tank only had to be filled at service intervals, it sounded strange. People on the TDI forums thought it was just because VW didn't want to scare away customers with an extra thing to do, but you can buy the stuff at any gas station and pouring it into the tank is not difficult.

When the scandal broke the assumption was that they mistuned the DEF cars out of arrogance, and again to avoid spooking customers with extra maintenance.

Now it sounds much more like they tuned it that way because this regulation would have crippled the car with an enormous DEF tank otherwise. It is possible that such a regulation combined with a 10,000 mile service interval only makes engineering sense on mid-size trucks or larger.

This doesn't have anything to do with them failing to build a working LNT solution and cheating with those previously, of course.
Magic is already recognised on bank notes and in the pledge of allegiance.
Thanks for explaining that to me.

The ordinary experience for someone viewing a magic act is that something impossible has happened. The fact that we know, logically, that it cannot be the case doesn't change the fact that what we experience is impossible. It's unexplainable by the majority of viewers.

If the argument is "magic doesn't exist, therefore what you experienced is entirely normal and unremarkable" then frankly the interlocutor just don't get the point of why people watch magic.

> Being born poor is obviously not a personal choice, but actions taken along the way (having a child when young), taking the risk with illegal and highly addictive drugs, committing violent crime, are conscious acts that unsurprisingly make it harder to get out of poverty. The consequences of those actions is likely particularly known in lower income areas.

I was raised with the same belief, however I have learned through broader experience that people from varying backgrounds have vastly different ways of perceiving and evaluating the information in front of them. I do not mean this to indicate, for example, that people in poverty are inferior and incapable of logically assessing the consequences of a teen pregnancy.

Rather, I would suggest that you and I were likely privy to a myriad of small, incremental and beneficial teachings and experiences that led to our view of teen pregnancy. As a result I believe it unwise to judge others, who did not have the privilege of those same teachings, based on the assumption that they knew the "unsurprising" "consequences" of their actions.
