It's trivial to google the guy's name and confirm he's a self-identified anti-GMO crank with paper retractions. It's not reasonable to ask for citations on things you can easily confirm or deny yourself.
> Mushrooms don't let you hide problems from yourself.

That's the entire point in my opinion. It's the closest I've ever come to feeling like I "took the red pill".

I can't speak for others but from my own experience there aren't bad trips. There are only uncomfortable trips. Uncomfortable because they're reveling a truth you don't want to accept.
Is there evidence of NewEgg doing this? Ive seen proof of the others, but not NewEgg? I hope its not true, Ive always had good experience with them for probably close to a decade now.
I agree, it's an argument to authority. I provide links elsewhere in the thread though.
Just let me know where the source of the information is.
"HP has abruptly changed course on its 'Machine,' a new type of memory-driven computer it thinks will radically alter large-scale data processing. When the company first launched it last year, the plan was to use a new kind of memory chip called the "memristor," which is as fast as DRAM but can permanently store data. The problem is that the tech, which HP expected to commercialize with Hynix in 2013, still isn't ready. Rather than giving up, though, HP has decided to take it in another direction by using both conventional RAM and phase change memory."[1]

I used to be a firm believer in A/B tests, but nowadays I feel that our over-reliance on it has created this awful internet dystopia.

Don't get me wrong - A/B tests are valuable, but I've worked at many companies that have relied on them to a fault.

For one thing, there are very important metrics that are hard to measure, and many are impossible to measure in relation to a specific website change. User happiness for example is a nearly impossible metric to measure, and correlating it to specific website experiments is pretty much right out.

Many factors also have time-delayed effects, which is nearly impossible to correlate back to source causes, and IMO why we see so many companies achieve short-term conversion gains at enormous expense to brand perception and customer satisfaction.

In many ways companies that over-focus on A/B testing miss the forest for the trees - it doesn't necessarily create the best possible product, it often instead ends up creating the least shitty version of a bad product.

It is possible but the Swift stdlib does rely on a minimal set of libc functions including malloc()/free() and the usual str* and mem* functions. Some of the other functionality can be removed eg the math and floating point but even implementing malloc() in Swift would be hard because any data structures that get used eg Arrays will themselves rely on malloc(), and even if you wrote it using UnsafeMutablePointer it would not be much different to a C implentation. Also the globalinit functions that get called at startup themselves rely on malloc() so it ends up being circular.

However if you are willing to accept some functionality will be written in C it is possible to run Swift directly on bare metal.

How I Restored My Sleeping Habits by Spending a Weekend Without Clocks
Same with laptop batteries: sell as a 5200mAh battery, label it as 5200mAh, but when you read the chip that's inside (similar to reading SMART) it's actually 4400mAh or something.

Some more info I wrote a while ago: http://lucb1e.com/rp/batstat/en/
> Police are allowed to investigate, and that's exactly what they failed to do in this case.

This stop was part of their investigation. How else are they supposed to eliminate the seller from their enquiries into the stolen laptop?

A person can be lawfully detained with reasonable suspicion alone, and it sounds like the police had it in this case.

In the process of detaining someone, the police can use reasonable force. The use of Taser was probably not necessary, but it could well have been reasonable.

The article is silent on the robbery in which Derek's laptop was stolen, but if it were aggravated, and the police had reasonable suspicion they were detaining the person responsible for that robbery, then the use of force is all the more reasonable.
The irony of psilocybin classification as a Schedule 1 drug is that it's not even addictive. But then again, the US government and America in general has never let facts get in the way of their goals to ruin people's lives. People have known this is an effective treatment for depression for many years. How many lives have been ruined simply because of its being illicit and unavailable to treat patients who needed it? When I think about it that way, I can't help but hope these murderers will one day get justice, but I know they won't.
Sort of like my own personal stance on 'breeder reactors' being 'waste reduction reactors'.

The problem with most of that 'waste' (at least the non-byproducts kind) is that it's exactly that, actual waste instead of burnt fuel.

Hi Slava!

What do you guys think about the approach taken here, and what are the major differences in approach theat you took with Horizon?

https://github.com/mikemintz/react-rethinkdb

I've had really good luck with that whitelisting approach, so
I'm wondering what the biggest wins would be from potentially switching to Horizon.
Don't move goal posts, has no effect is enough to make it harmless with that line of thinking. So, if you want to use it you need to demonstrate harm.

Sure, it's easy to make a counter argument along the lines of "Making things taboo adds to their appeal. Supervised underage drinking seems to have a long term positive impact." However, that's also meaningless unless you study the issue.

I really don't know, but I also accept I don't know.

PS: This is one of those issue people don't approach rationally. It's as if gathering evidence is already admitting you might be wrong.

This article seems quite specific at first – but when you dig down, it is actually rather vague.
For example, the author complains that his mother needs a license to bake food. What kind of license? What state?
Maybe a food handlers license? These are incredibly common, and very easy to obtain.
Maybe a business license? Again – most states are falling over themselves to make it easy to give you a business license.
It's hard to tell exactly what is being argued against.
Food safety is incredibly important – and food handler's licenses are easy to obtain. States need to collect taxes, that's the basic reason a business needs to get a license. Neither of these things are controversial. That's why I'm guessing the author of this article didn't go into specifics.

For one, Edge only runs on Windows. Windows is losing market share to Mac OS, iOS and Android (Firefox is on all three as well as Windows).

For two, I personally use Safari, Firefox, Chrome, and Chrome Canary on my box, each for their own purpose, but I have yet to find a need for Edge. There is no site that I go to that works best in Edge.

>And historically, from Jim Crow laws, to J.E. Hoover and McCarthy, and onwards to Snowden, this is wrong, because?

Most of the examples you gave are historical. Regarding Snowden: has anything been used against anyone? I'm not condoning the snooping, BTW.

I think when you compare the US government to the likes of Russia and China, you'll see that the US is really not "out to get you". Certainly in this case it's pretty obvious that the govt isn't out to get an innocent person. There is a lot of strong evidence already that he has been collecting child porn. That of course doesn't mean that illegal procedures should be used to obtain more evidence, but we shouldn't get hysterical about it and say that the govt is going to use this to frame innocent people.

"But because manufacturers of weed killers are required to disclose only the chemical structures of their “active” ingredients — and can hide the identity of the rest as confidential business information — for many years no one knew exactly what other chemicals were in these products, let alone how they affected health."
First of all, exceptions are not a great way to handle errors, because they are implicit. There is no special keyword, like "await", to permit a function to throw exception, you have to guess an implicit behavior of each function. And you will have functions that never throw exceptions, functions that do, functions that lie about whether they do or do not. You will have to remember that at all times and be very careful to always use try/catch if unsure and so on. It's a big cognitive load to have. Most of the times the easiest and the only reasonable way to deal with errors is to be explicit about them.

So, the equivalent to that code with callbacks is the one from your previous example and not the simplified one that doesn't handle errors. Not forgetting "if (error)" in this case will be exactly the same, as not forgetting "catch (error)" or "if (error)" if you handle errors properly in the first place. But these are just patterns and with enough consistency they don't introduce much cognitive load. What does is implicit behavior and you don't have one with callbacks in your example, but you do with await. It's not as bad, as with threads, but still a little bit worse, than with callbacks.

From their blog post:

> Horizon isn’t prescriptive or particularly opinionated–it’s designed to work well with the JavaScript frameworks that you already know and love.

It is seriously a breath of fresh air to read something like that. Bravo, Horizon/RethinkDB team.
> Horizon is distributed as a standalone server for browser-based JavaScript apps. When you're ready to write custom backend code, you can load the Horizon modules directly in Node.js

This is key. Firebase seems great for quick prototypes, but I never built against it because it was unclear (to me at least) how to deal with cases where you want to leave the sandbox and add custom backend functionality that they haven't built out for you. Horizon seems ideal -- it gives you the ease of use of a turnkey system starting out, with the flexibility to customize backend logic/validation later when you need to. That, plus the fact that it's put together by the awesome RethinkDB team, makes it very interesting to me!

Why? This is clearly a greater danger. Obviously, people should be required to get a license before using a stove. Everyone else will be allowed to buy precooked food ($profit$!) and put it in an approved microwave.

Wut. The parking spaces are viewable by my apartment window.
From: http://www.eurostar.com/uk-en/about-eurostar/press-office/pr...

"Eurostar, the high-speed passenger rail service between the UK and mainland Europe, today reported the highest ever number of passengers transported on Eurostar in one quarter with over 2.8m customers travelling between the UK and the continent in Q2 2015. This represents a year-on-year increase of 3% in passengers compared with the same period last year (2.8m 2015: 2.7m 2014)."

2.8m in a quarter = 31,000 a day.
Given the trains only run for just over 14 hours a day (London departure board for tomorrow) - then that's a mean passengers per hour over the quarter during operating hours over all days in the quarter of 2,214. Note this actual passengers not capacity. If you assumed say an average load ration of perhaps 70% (over all times of day all over the quarter) then the mean capacity per hour would be 3,100. Then at some times there are more trains than others, so the peak capacity per hour is probably at least 4,000.

Here is a "live" playground https://json8.github.io/patch/demos/apply/ for JSON Patch

A few additional thoughts

JSON Patch can be pretty verbose but going around that is easy https://github.com/JSON8/patch#patch-size
When possible I also compare the size of the patch (packed) and the expected document. If the expected document is smaller than the patch I use the PUT verb with the document as body otherwise PATCH verb with the patch as body.

Even though the spec doesn't talk about it at all, JSON Patch have the nice effect of being completely reversible (if you have the context) https://github.com/JSON8/patch#buildrevertpatch , not true for JSON Merge Patch

JSON Merge Patch patches can be translated to JSON Patch easily https://github.com/JSON8/merge-patch#tojsonpatch

https://github.com/JSON8/patch

There is also https://github.com/ottypes/json0 which looks interesting and support more operations and string patches.
