> your beef with Soylent is that they insinuate that every meal can be replaced

Their kick starter didn't insinuate this, it explicitly said you could use it as a 100% meal replacement.

Here's what happens in Soylent threads:

Someone says how great this new thing is, this new total meal replacement

Someone else says that liquid meal replacements are not new

Some people will say that they're not marketed as 100% liquid meal replacements (they are, to medical professionals)

Other people point out the problems of Soylent marketing ("puts everyone in perfect health"!!) and the problems with 100% liquid feeds (the risks are acceptable in ill people, but probably not in well people)

People then say that of course it's not a 100% meal replacement, and no-one would ever use it like that.

Soylent isn't new; the early marketing was amazingly irresponsible; and the early creation was irresponsible. They've pulled back from many of their earlier claims, and most people have stopped saying that it's a 100% meal replacement. So now we're left with a dull product that has no differentiation from all the other products on the market that have existed for many years.
As someone who rents out rooms in Lisbon (not on AirBnB), I can assure you the minimum is not 300/month, nor are those rare. A five minute search finds multiple available rooms for <250€ - often with expenses included.

I do agree there is cause for concern, but the knee-jerk attacks on AirBnB is silly. For example, there's not a single word in that article regarding the concerns of landlords in making long term rentals. When it takes two years, hundreds of euros and many lost working days to evict a non-paying tenant, is it any wonder that people prefer short term rentals? When you have a building falling to pieces after decades of rent-controlled tenants paying ridiculously low amounts (I know people paying 30€/m for a three bedroom apartment) and you can't afford to fix it, is it any wonder that you'll sell to foreign investors who can?

> I've always been surprised that open source software like Blender and Natron has not really caught on at studios.

Natron wasn't really even a usable piece of software until maybe a few months ago. It's making great progress, but at this point I think it's still reasonable to be nervous about relying on it for commercial work.

I think Blender is somewhat used in big studios, although mostly for its core strength of 3d modelling. Blender's compositor suffers from a lack of any kind of plug in option, so there are many things you can do in Nuke / Natron that are just impossible in Blender's compositor. It's nice to have it there, but it's not really a competitor for Nuke.

That's still 2FA though, isn't it? You're proving to the server that you have the card and the pin.
I've reached peak loathing of C++ at this point. I can see why people would want to lock up the recursive template metaprogramming double barrled automatic shotgun.

...but I get confused by the people who do that, and then turn around to embrace C, the circus where people juggling the chainsaws of "faking templates with macros", "terrible build times", "yet more security vulnerabilities resulting from undefined behavior", "no C-standard defined threading / async support until C1X", and more.

It's common, but I don't get it.

Why do browsers all them to do this? Surely there should be some way to determine it's just a textbox and prevent the side from screwing up the user's actions? Same for autocomplete.
Evolving toolchain? JavaScript is 20 years old and has made nearly no improvement in terms of peductivity, highlighted by the complete lack of a standard library and the still horrid browser debugging. We should be very suspect of a language that for whatever reason can't get the basics required for a first class language right in the course of 20 years.
> to a severe shortage in apartments

You're looking at it wrong.

What AirBnB does is allow apartments to be rented as hotel rooms, at prices somewhere in-between.

Thus you get mostly empty hotels and lots of mostly empty apartments (1/3 or 1/4 use yields better money than full-time rent).

You've inverse-optimized resource usage.
The people it impacts negatively outnumber the people that benefit from it, it's as simple as that.
This is a filter of sorts, not a cracker. Think of it like a reverse Instagram filter to restore the original photo. Whether that's within a certain jurisdictions disallowed things to do publicly I don't know.
And carrying concealed, which is allowed in 42 states, plus many less urban counties of California and New York, and cities in Massachusetts. That's something like (from memory) 72% of the US population, as long as you're an adult 18-21 and haven't committed a felony etc. States with concealed carry right now have issued licenses to 5-10% of the age eligible population, well more than 12 million by now, plus 10 states don't require a license, with Missouri likely to join them by the end of the year.

Guns also become a more important means of self-defense the physically weaker the person, so the need, and observed statistics are weighted towards older people, and the US is rapidly graying with the demographic Baby Boom.

Hunting is also a popular pastime in the US, and is in fact a critical resource in controlling various prey populations after we wiped out the apex predators that used to keep them in check. As it is, deer are now the most deadly animals in the US due to collisions with cars.
And in many cases they HAVE approved construction of housing for them but the new (very slight and only relative) market slack is being eaten up by commercial operators on Airbnb.
30 Influential Tech Journalists You Need to Watch
This is such an irritant. Everyone supports variable size IN clause in the form of a sub-select AFAIK. You should be able to abstract the parsing and have an api to address that. Yet for years its missing and you end up all sorts of garbage under-performing code.

Our current solution is to use of temporary table because other solutions (including dynamically adding parameter in query) makes them unique queries and crashes performance.
"Renting has its perks"

Do you mean renting or rent-seeking? I fail to see how renting has perks.
This doesn't sound right. I don't know as much about other cities but if you call 911 in Manhattan you're going to be connected to a call center at Metrotech in Brooklyn, a few blocks from where I am typing this, where a real live human who is almost certainly from NYC and lives here will answer your call, determine the precinct and sector and get the job to dispatch.

If someone is asking clarifying details it's likely because they are trained to do so, as people in real life emergencies tend to get flustered and make mistakes.

The 911 system in NYC is sophisticated, was revamped by the Bloomberg administration heavily in the wake of September 11th, and is very much part of the civil service here. Your story about calling 911 in NYC and getting an out of town call center is obvious fiction and makes me doubt the rest of your stories as a result.

Here in London its illegal to AirBnB more than 160 days a year, but its very difficult to enforce - I'm typing this a few metres away from the 365-day a year airbnb next door (after being woken by a visitor who buzzed the the wrong house).
> Tourists are seen as a way to generate revenue for a city while not incurring the sorts of costs in services that residents do.

How does that work? Don't tourists use the same infrastructure?
Just because strings are length prefixed, doesn't mean that they don't need to be dynamically allocated. The reason they can be put on the stack is that the prefix is just one byte and thus the maximum length 255 bytes for the strings.

Prefixed strings can even be a source of buffer overflows, if you don't check if the length is smaller than the actual length of the rest of the data. In fact this was actually the source of the heartbleed bug.
Then those private organisations shouldn't advertise those services as pro free speech when it comes in handy.
Here is a version (https://is.gd/bFCpMq) that might be instructive. It is based on a simple ref count cycle of structs like:

pub struct ListNode<T> {
data: T,
prev: Weak<RefCell<ListNode<T>>>,
next: Rc<RefCell<ListNode<T>>>,
}

The code linked above probably has bugs (for sure with singleton lists), but I hope you get the idea. It allows you to splice lists in and out in constant time.

Also, the code doesn't use `unsafe`. Now, you would need to use `unsafe` somewhere to actually create a list, in order to initialize the fields (or you could change the type of `next` to be `Option<...>`). However, the use of `unsafe` would be limited to that method. This tries to get at the difference between (i) occasionally using `unsafe` and (ii) having no safety guarantees at all.

There are probably lots of other pain points that you can bring up, and I'm not trying to say this should be good enough, but I thought it might help explain what is possible.
I can't recommend treating immature behavior as a reliable signal of status, having seen a lot of immature people with no social, financial or educational capital whatsoever who were simply immature.
Generally the tourist taxes paid (if any) are considerably lower than the taxes a resident pays. Besides payments for city taxes which equal more or less what tourist taxes are (in NL), I also pay taxes (income, possessions/investments, housing) to the countries government, which distributes money to cities.

If we'd all be tourists, the world would quickly look different, mostly negatively for the current tourists (tourist taxes would increase to match current resident taxes).

Without having to resort to violence I think that being a resident (paying taxes) does introduce more rights. This shows in, for example, being able to vote. Next time a major wants to run, make it a point to limit AirBnb and alike and you should get the vote if it is detrimental enough.
Only the latter addresses customization of guns, and I've done a fair amount of that, plus fixing a couple of issues, plus of course all my cleaning of them, at home. Or assembling your own, in the US AR-15 pattern rifles are pretty much the ultimate examples of both.
> Here in Dublin, Ireland, rents are exploding, mostly because of a severe shortage in apartments[...]

How bad is the shortage? I'm asking because Google has once again contacted me, this time for a position in Dublin. Or do they have their own housing for employees?
Remove bad and good from the discussion. JavaScript exists at a place where high level languages are expected, not assembly. JavaScript lacks the productivity enhancements of other high level languages. No standard library and poor debugging as well as loads of quirks. JavaScript, standalone, is far lass productive on a theoretical basis (I say theatrical because no language can take JSS spot in the browser due to enternchment) because of this than other high level languages.

Also, JavaScript was barely designed. Saying it was designed to not have a standard library is revisionist history. It just doesn't have one, and everyone with influence over JS continues to make poor excuses as to why it continues to not have one.
At least C++ has a stack to re-invent. With C you're missing Vector and Map before you even start.
The problem is more the "murdering" than the "literally". Even if you read it as "figuratively murdering" it's still excessively emotive language.
Fair enough, I was just curious how Dublin compares with here in Edinburgh which does have a focus on flats (at least here in the centre in the Old & New Towns) and which has had a lot of apartment development recently on brown field sites (former breweries, hospitals, docks etc.). Edinburgh also has vast amounts of visitors and students and I've never heard much grumbling.
>>> Researchers are hunting for so-called biomarkers, such as patterns of brain activity on fMRI scans or levels of stress hormones in the blood, linked to suicidal thoughts and acts.

It is so very western to treat suicide as a disease, a disorder of the brain. We ignore the concept that suicide can be a rational act. In the east (Japan) suicide is considered a private decision to be respected. That doesn't mean that it isn't an evil that society should attempt to prevent. Some people have may suffer medical conditions that make them prone to suicide, but other perfectly healthy people may opt to kill themselves. We cannot treat them all as medical problems. Sometimes the answer is much more practical, sometimes the problem is purely economic.

Except in cases of assisted dieing. There we switch the approach and suddenly declare that killing one's self can be rational decision. It is strange how we muddle rationality and reasonableness, as if the fact that someone makes a decision society disagrees with is per se irrational.

Nevertheless, it's wrong and disingenuous to state that the UK has taken "everything" and given "nothing."
I didn't miss the point. I agree that "there is no one to vote for" is an excuse. But what is the real reason they don't vote? I can think of several hypotheses:

- They haven't yet developed the habit of voting
- They are busier booting up their lives than more established adults
- They move around more and are not yet embedded in their community

None of these are reasons to think that their preferences should matter less.

What's your hypothesis for why the young vote in fewer numbers?
It's seem to me that this exactly what you are saying.

It seems to me that you are demanding an homogeneous opinion from a few millions of people.

The PhD defense: “disaster” avoidance strategies
Are 'punitive damages' medieval? If Oculus takes anti-consumer measures, then reverses course and consumers jump back on board as if nothing ever happened, why wouldn't they re-enact those measures once they have the leverage to do so? If HTC does capture the lion's share of the market, and they see there were no long-term consequences to enacting those anti-consumer measures, why wouldn't HTC do the same?

These companies aren't your friend. As is always stated, they exist to make money, whether that's in the best interest of the consumer or not. That's capitalism, that's fine. Certainly in this space, I don't think anyone is realistically arguing that there is some better method (would the R&D emerge to create and market VR in a communist society? Seems unlikely to me). That doesn't justify not taking punitive action against anti-consumer businesses/actions (Facebook, e.g.); for the system to work, consumers need to be avidly pro-consumer.

Those other options take longer and the longer it takes the more difficult it is to act on a momentary impulse. You could grab a gun from next to your bed and end things in a matter of seconds leaving no time for the impulse to pass or for you to reconsider.
I would argue that literally here is a modifier to murdering, and in fact both are used here in an intentionally excessive (or emotional if you prefer) in order to underline a point. By all means disagree with the point, but sugar can actually be figuratively murdering people.

As an aside, to suggest that someone is using words to bias a discussion pretty much misses the whole point of mounting an argument, does it not?
Well, but which do you prefer, that or irreversibly damaging British economy?

Also, Scenario 1 (or any other way that involves showing that the UK can't leave) doesn't really damage democracy, it just destroys Cameron's credibility for making a promise he can't fulfil. The Scotland Act problem makes me think that Scotland really will be able to stay in the EU, either by independence from the UK or by derailing the whole process.

If EU stopped at free movement of stuff and did not do free movement of labor, it would have been much better union.

Same reasons most people own a car instead of lease - for one it is yours - every time you go back to the range, your favorite gun is the exact same as when you left, a few thousands rounds have not been thrown through it since. For two it costs less over time, to own if you shoot frequently. For three you are in control of maintenance and upkeep.

> Also you will get bitten very aggressively if you built your project in the first phase in a non-commercial version and some time later manage to get funding and want to import your work into a commercially licensed version - import will not work.

Qt has a somewhat similar provision in their licenses [1]. Personally I think it's acceptable, but walking a fine line. It's an attempt to make sure users can't skirt paying for a commercial license if they are, indeed, commercial.

I would hope that if you contacted their customer support and politely explain how your project was using the free license in the spirit it was intended to be used, they would allow imports from the free version, say as a once-off when you purchase the licenses.
