"Sugary foods neither 'give people' nor cause Type 2 diabetes"

High Sugar Consumption Linked To Type 2 Diabetes http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/257108.php

"For a while the association between sugar consumption and type 2 diabetes was thought to solely relate to weight gain, but new research conducted at UC San Francisco indicates that sugar intake may also be directly linked to diabetes.

...

"This suggests for the first time that not all calories contribute to diabetes risk in the same way.

...

"Diabetes rates increased the longer a population was exposed to excess sugar and it decreased when sugar availability went down.

...

"Mation Nestle, PhD, a professor of nutrition, food studies and public health at New York University, said:

'As far as I know, this is the first paper that has had data on the relationship of sugar consumption to diabetes. This has been a source of controversy forever. It's been very, very difficult to separate sugar from the calories it provides. This work is carefully done, it's interesting and it deserves attention.'

...

"A previous study in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences identified a similar association, revealing that added sugar and high fructose corn syrup may contribute to the development of obesity and diabetes."
It's a very easy claim to test though - just wait until next year's Derby and see if they can do it again.
Is that leap really so great?

I just spent a while offloading a bunch of music from a Macbook Pro that had to be returned to an educational institution after years of use. I was able to get to the music files directly and copied/pasted them over to large flash drives. I did the same for photos on that machine. From there I uploaded them to a network storage device where they've just been chilling until they're downloaded to a new machine.

The morality is in following the law of the land regardless of your personal assessment of the law's merits or your personal assessment of the motives of the legislators. This should happen unless the law violates some fundamental human right. Respecting the rule of law is a moral principle.

Morally speaking, the law should be honored while it is in force, and if it is not a good law, it should be altered through the means provided by the political system.

Pragmatically speaking, implementing that moral ideal is becoming increasingly difficult, as governments reach farther and farther into daily commerce, become increasingly impenetrable to anyone of ordinary means, and fail to cope with the rapid social changes driven by new technologies.
wha? link? something…? Why do you even think it's a hoax? Your comment ounds like just spreading baseless doubt to me…

Is this really an AI? Or is it just harnessing the wisdom of the crowd?
I have nothing to do with this project, but I think the answer to your question is no - you don't have to re-write history. If the removed party had access to previous revisions signed with his key, they're already "compromised" as far as security is concerned. Whether or not you rewrite history, he already has it.

The re-encryption they're referring to is presumably just to protect future revisions (since you would ideally rotate all keys they had access to, git-secret or not, and publish new ones right away).

A word of warning to those considering using this. While I completely understand why people might want to encrypt/decrypt files within their public Git repositories, doing so doesn't come for free.

As Junio C Hamano explains more eloquently and in greater depth here[1], one thing to bear in mind with this (and similar) tools is that they store the managed files as binary blobs, regardless of their original format, meaning that a change to the source file of even a single bit will result in an entirely different uncompressed blob being stored, rather than a compressible textual delta.

Thanks. What about all the elevated freeways in LA? Looking at the helicopter reports from the Northridge quake, the collapses are pretty terrifying.
They don't need to. The donations (and other things the wealthy and connected to get the attention of lawmakers) speak much louder than words.

To be fair, canning fluid has to have a certain osmotic pressure to inhibit mold and bacteria growth, and most people prefer their canned fruit to be packed in some variety of sugary water rather than salty or acetic water.

Even the fruit packed with fruit juice is often packed in a different kind of juice (excepting pineapple). You could have peaches packed in genuine grade-B maple syrup, but it won't be able to compete on price on a shelf next to peaches in heavy sucrose syrup.

(You can also make pruno from the syrup in fruit cans that doesn't taste entirely like moldy garbage. But I wouldn't pour any for my friends, or at least not the ones I wanted to keep.)

As for the bread, you shouldn't be surprised that many "whole wheat" breads are still primarily made with the same enriched white flour as white breads. They just have a fraction of the wheat kernel added back in so that the bread looks brown when it's baked. Deceptive labeling.

Even if a type of food is ostensibly healthy when prepared at home using a traditional recipe from pure, wholesome ingredients, as a pre-packaged, ready-to-eat product in the grocery store, it is most likely already reduced to complete crap. For me, it has almost gone past the point where it isn't just a matter of carefully reading the ingredients list and avoiding certain entries. Now I prefer buying only the foods that themselves qualify as a single ingredient. But even then, cans of "extra virgin olive oil" are almost certainly lying, upselling the "3 or 4 extractions too late for virgin" olive oil , mixed with hazelnut oil.

But what else is a consumer to do?
I consider reliability to be a fundamental element of access. If I have music on my hardware, I can always play it. If other people are granting me access to download music from their hardware, I can play it whenever I have access to their hardware, up to the limits of whatever constraints they have chosen to apply to their service, which may include having to spend money or listen to ads.

Different people have different needs; I'd rather have a smaller collection of music I can count on than access to all the music which is encrusted with hassle and advertising.
I don't think they are trying to answer your big question. On one hand, as mentioned in previous replies, even a human cannot just understand what you are talking about and would ask further questions, on the other hand, it is not about to try to answer all questions but to find some interesting, frequent cases that products like Viv can solve for you.

Maybe we should mostly think about AI products/tools as just another (weird) friend who is good at answering certain questions for us. At the end, we don't even expect any of our friends to be able to answer all of our questions. Indeed, we pick the right friend for right question.
How did I leave out vaccines? Anti-vaccine is the pinnical of anti-science rhetoric. Although it seems to be slowing down.
So you understand my point.
iTunes is working as designed, enslaving users to Apple's "cloud". A few power users might not like this, but they're a small fraction of the user base and don't matter to Apple. That's the reality.
In (3), I wonder who will collect the referral commission.

I suppose we could see a revenue split like what Apple does for in-app purchases.
I've considered creating an app with node.js and electron to turn my current soundcloud archiving script into a desktop app. It makes taking essentially all of someone's soundcloud and archives everything with proper ID3 tags, also tracks updates to your playlists and likes.

Initially I built this to archive indy music and prevent losing tracks that people removed from their soundcloud pages.

This project would require some major legal hurdles, which is why I've never really built it as a proper desktop app.

I'm aware of that, but will people realize that? They will just say Viv sucks despite the Netflix app was sloppy.

It's also not clear that what went wrong in certain cases. In one request part of the parameters can be handled by Viv core, part by Netflix and part by another app.
Makes sense.

Convox uses containers and images everywhere behind the scenes. But containers are a means not an end.

In general people want automated and reliable deployments.
I tag everything the same way, no matter what I use to listen to the music, the OS I use, tag app, music source etc. Just Artist, Album, and track number. Clear all the other fields. For classical, I appreciate that there can be different labels releasing different masterings of the same recording, or different conductors of the same piece, or a given conductor conducting the same piece with different orchestras etc but for me I'm happy sticking that info as part of the Album. For example: Gurrelieder (Boulez). I don't see any point in getting anal about it all. You can stick the notes in the folder you store the music in, or have filenames with extra details but as long as the music player lets you drill down from artist to album, and plays the tracks in the album in the correct order, that's good enough. I don't waste my time with cover art etc because if I want to look at it I can do that on a pc or in real life; i'm never going to be staring my my phone while it's playing, and it's never going to be quicker to wade visually through cover art to find what you're looking for (although I guess it might aid lazily browsing through your collection if you're not sure what to play).
Then don't.

It seems a lot of people around here cannot see the difference between wild funny hyberbole and snide remarks.

This should be a problem on those people's end, not a problem for the rest of us.

Point-in-case: if I was to be offended everytime people was disrespectful about my views around here and in certain other forums it would be a full time job. Instead I ignore it (since its offtopic anyway, or laugh at it because it can be funny even if I'm on the receiving end.)
> if it wasn't stable, it's cloud platform would be in serious trouble

It doesn't have to be unstable, just less stable than alternative kernels, according to the parent comment.

At our office we use Gitlab (hear me out), and one of the CTOs (yes, there were multiple) was a big fan of Github and not such a big fan of Gitlab. Every time Gitlab.com went down, he'd rub it my face. So obviously I tried to find out the reason – was it a software issue or a development issue? I hadn't even considered infrastructure issue – turns out, Gitlab was on Azure, and they were facing a lot of instability on their infrastucture. (To their credit, they were already evaluating other services to move off of Azure).

A cloud platform doesn't need to uber-stable to be profitable. They can provide good services, good tooling, good support etc. at the cost of small instability and still be good overall.
This isn't an AI. UNU.ai looks like a discussion platform or wisdom-of-the-crowds thing.
Great work. Therefore that's one more disassembler in the wide. Some of the great open source ones, reverse oriented, that I have been able to test are:

Metasm: https://github.com/jjyg/metasm/

Radare: http://radare.org/

Capstone: http://www.capstone-engine.org/

Capstone is based on LLVM, that you cannot beat in term of architectures and industrial quality, and has great plugins, which make it kind of my favorite.

Of course, for non-scripting needs, you need decent graphical interfaces, as provided by these ones:

IDA: https://www.hex-rays.com/products/ida/

Hopper: http://www.hopperapp.com/

IDA is clearly the best, but Hopper is a fair choice if you need it and you can't afford IDA license for personal use.

[Edit: add forgotten IDA and Hopper...]

I've been using ansible-vault to solve this problem in our infrastructure repository. A symmetric vault key is encrypted using gpg, and Ansible's vault_password_file is set to to an executable shell script containing `gpg --batch --use-agent --descrypt vault_key.gpg`.

Very specific to Ansible, but works fine. It's a shame only files containing variables (we're using group_vars) can be encrypted, and not arbitrary files or templates.
breitbart.com is banned, not for being right wing but for being overly sensational. Plenty of comparable left-wing sites are also banned, and plenty of right-wing sites aren't banned (e.g. https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=nationalreview.com). This isn't an ideological call.

rt.com is penalized but not banned because occasionally good stories show up there. That's true of most media sites on HN, though the weight of the penalty varies. Again not an ideological call.
Thanks for the recommendation, will have a look. I'm a little skeptical of price changes though. Partially because of ethics ("Why'd he have to pay 5$ while I have to pay 8$?"), and partially because of my target audience, mainly students and young adults (18-28)

Regardless, it's interesting to look into

Streaming Music in the cloud is not going anywhere.

Not sure why that would change that?

There have never been as much access to music as there is today. It's a good thing.
Companies too... Rackspace comes to mind.
The author seems to believe that REYES-type rasterization algorithms are still the state of the art, but these days everybody does physically-based raytracing (thank $deity, so much simpler!).

This may or may not be a useful optimization for SDFs, but SDFs themselves are kinda useless -- not able to show detail well and not practical to model with.
Couldn't agree more. Bitcoin is not for everyone.

You can open source it, and it still be a commercial product.
10 years I had 10,000+ songs on my iTunes - their version updates and switching computers (prior to / not fully utilizing Time Machine) slowly decayed my library down to ~150.

Then along came Spotify, Soundcloud, etc and I haven't returned to iTunes. No Apple Music either. Not sure what would get me back to my iTunes habit of 10 years ago...

It's very easy to rename (or symlink) the piwik.js script to something else that is not blocked by any filter list. And unless you're a major site nobody will bother creating a special rule just for your self-hosted Piwik.
Apple has already done a lot to make this sort of thing nicer. They added lightweight generics to Objective-C, so arrays are typed now. NSError bridges to ErrorType. They've also announced further plans to Swift-ify existing Objective-C APIs.
I think 80% of commands will be handled by Viv's core app, then the third party apps take control seamlessly. It will also learn that you always prefer AirBnb over Hotels.com.

I think "Movie Recording" literally means that the movie is currently recording, i.e. he's using the QuickTime movie record feature as a trick to get the iPhone screen to show on his Mac, and thus the projector.

...it will know your location and it will know that many people got tickets for it already.

I think the key here is 1) evolution - as he said it will get better with time. Just like wikipedia was discarded by many intelligent people in its infancy, similarly now it may feel not so much revolutionary - but it will become something big.
And 2) modularity/good design so it's easy to add "improvement" layers.

Some nodes/areas can be backed with deep AI, some don't need to. At the end you just wrap the whole thing in AI at the top to improve itself and we can slowly start calling Viv 21st century's god.

Andres is a great coworker to have at Citus Data, though I first ran into him on the mailing lists shortly after starting at Citus myself. I was tasked with figuring out "why do certain read-only workloads fail miserably under high concurrency?"

I had never touched PostgreSQL before, nor any Linux performance tools, but I noticed that replacing certain buffer eviction locks with atomic implementations could drastically help this particular case. I emailed the list about it and Andres was someone who chimed in with helpful advice. I wrote up what I'd discovered in my deep dive here: http://tiny.cc/postgres-concurrency

Turns out Andres was already working on a "better atomics" patch to provide easier methods of using atomic operations within PostgreSQL's code base (my patch was a quick hack probably only valid on x86, if that). It's been useful in removing several performance bottlenecks and—two years in—it looks like it's still paying off.

No file organization?

I agree, which is why I was trying to point out that the authors were using this BS idea of "behavioral/psychological toxicity" to try to explain why sugar wasn't really the same kind of thing as cocaine or other addictive drugs.

I'm annoyed that they shied away from this equivalence, but not because I want people to treat sugar like it's an addictive drug... I want people to recognize that being addicted to something (like sugar or cocaine or alcohol or coffee) is not the great evil it's made out to be, and to realize that our drug laws are completely incoherent. The authors use weasel words to avoid equating sugar and cocaine because then people would wonder why one is legal/normalized and the other is illegal/stigmatized. They have to find some way to maintain the distinction.
"If i say "find me a good ticket for Chicago tonight". How will it know that i'm talking about the rock band that's playing tonight in Paris, France, since there's absolutely not a chance that a human being asks for a plane ticket for such a big trip just a few hours in advance ?"

Funny, your "absolutely not a chance" interpretation was mine. Maybe there was a death in the family. Maybe you need to visit a friend short notice. Maybe I'm being a bit pedantic, but I was with you until that point. :)
I'm very happy with Amazon Music.

Combine it with an amazon cloud storage account and you can sync your library across numerous devices without being locked into any particular platform. It's pretty nice.

Its pretty apparent that iTunes does too many things at this point in time: Music (Store / Streaming / Radio / Cloud / subscription ), Movies, Apps, phone management, media player management, and encoder.

Problem is no other applications have access many of these core features Swinsian is nice but I use iTunes Match so I can access my music on phone and I still use an iPod for my car as I find myself in the back country on weekends where cell services is edge at best or simply non-existent.
For some reason I was expecting this to be related to a Windows 10 update.. Glad it wasn't.
I hate to be rude but this author is a dumbass. In big bold letters he has "On a basic level, I don’t have a music collection anymore because Apple made it too hard and frustrating to maintain one." when instead it should read "I didn't take care of my own music library and instead left it to a third party who didn't do what was in my interest."
