It really depends how people are using it. If people are looking for random interesting content then an infinite scroll makes sense. If you add the amount of internet time spent is using Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit (app or RES), then we can conclude that it is at a deeper level a better user interface for certain types of content. People calling something that most people just prefer without thinking about it and is mainstream 'hipster appeal' is quite ironic.
Most major newspapers are actually insolvent and are kept afloat by the political establishment. Editors of major newspapers are often replaced when they do are too critical of the government.

When a couple of months ago there was a critical article on the new York times the writer was rapidly dismissed just to prove the point.

Busting the Myths with Cross-Platform Xamarin [video]
Actually, the last paragraph of the linked wikipedia article mentions the organo-phosphate theory (it somewhat labels it as conspiracy-theory, but it mentions it).

The talk page actually mentions a kind of rebuttal to the organo-phosphate theory (which claims that the symptoms are not compatible with organo-phosphate poisoning):

http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/33/3/443

I can't really evaluate any of these claims since my expertise in this field is non-existant. Things might be as simple as described in the Guardian article (which portrays the organo-phosphate theory as self-evident but suppressed truth), or maybe more complicated. The forced resignation of all responsible researchers certainly smells very funny and the Spanish government seems to have tried to suppress the truth or at least give the impression that they were able to handle things by suppressing dissenting opinions.
Not sure what you're polling, but it says it's not available in Australia despite Australia being the first release country. Might just want to check that out.

It was not a scandal, it was criminal negligence, with lots of victims.

My hyphothesis after talking with chemists in the field is that someone reused a container tank for synthetic oil in order to carry rapeseed oil.

The rapeseed oil dissolves synthetic oil easily.

They probably thought nothing would happen because of ignorance on the part of the man that made it. He probably used water in order to clean the original tank.

We have some bottles today of the stuff that was retired from the market and could analyze it. There are traces on it of synthetic oil components.

This oil was sold in cheap rural markets, with a green colorant in order for it to look similar to olive oil.

Because of rapeseed accident, nobody in Spain uses rapeseed anymore. They use sunflower oil. Cheap oil from big multinationals that make things like cookies is basically Palm oil.

Palm oil is destroying a big part of the world natural environment.
Async/await implementation in haxe with macros

Anyone with an email address can talk to other people with addresses on the same domain (address1@school.edu & address2@schools.edu will have a different view from address3@company.com and address4@startup.com).

Posts are deleted after 1 week and are not anonymous unless you post in the anonymous section. There are other small features like keyboard shortcuts, opt in notifications, and multiple email addresses as well.

We use pin.net.au for https://meanpath.com as the hosted payment pages they offer allow us to capture payment without needing to do any advanced programming. Their fraud protection is impressive and blocks 90% of the payment attempts we get from people dipping stolen cards.

For https://www.betterteam.com we chose Stripe as our developers are more familiar with the API. Braintree do have some features Stripe does not but the documentation of their API is not as straightforward as Stripe.
Also one more answer: I think BECAUSE I work almost 100% alone, I work faster than big teams (the mythical man month thing). The stuff I make isn't top-notch, but it works just good enough for people to enjoy using it. It's not super hip flashy designed, but it does what users want it to do. I see many other (especially funded) startups build really flashy stuff with huge 20+ people teams. And it looks great but it's not simple to use for people.

This is totally wrong. The current unemployment of EU is at 9%. That's the same unemployment rate of 2002-2004 before the "Great Recession" of 2007-2008. Then YES, the EU is recovering, but slowly and not all the country recover well.

We all suffered from the recession, even in Switzerland where we have the less unemployment rate. This was not because of the EU, but because all bank was infected with subprime then this had slow done all the economies, US and EU.

About 10 years ago I was in Italy. Stopped for a quick meal at a kiosk set up in the middle of the airport. The caprese sandwich I got was totally amazing. The flavors! From a kiosk in an airport! Such a simple thing but so, so good. The other meals I had over the week were also very good. There's something to be said for food purity laws: when you can't add all sorts of crap you have to focus on the quality of what you have, and it makes a huge difference.
As far as I know the "conventional wisdom" in Spain is that the cause was cooking oil. The other theory was reported in the mainstream media at the time but apparently it was dismissed as faulty science (see here: http://elpais.com/diario/1984/12/15/sociedad/471913201_85021...).

Just have to imagine the motion. I remember left/right by literally right clicking & feeling my middle finger be to the right of my index. I got a little mixed up when I switched my mouse to my left hand
Yup, total f###ing scam.

The local employers in the tourist area I grew up in load up on Irish and eastern European college students every summer. They give them barely enough hours to make ends meet if they live two and three to a room, ride a bike ~10mi or more to work and pick up another part time job on the side. Standard practice was/is to hire too many people so that everybody would be fighting for hours and firing people at the drop of a hat wasn't inconvenient.

The main benefit is getting a bunch of employees who are totally clueless about their workplace rights in the US and is dependent on remaining employed by the company that sponsored their visa in order to keep their visa. The supermarkets and hotels were businesses who would usually sponsor J1s so they were the ones who treated them like crap. The actual tourism parts of the tourism industry only hires the foreign workers secondarily (since all the foreign workers had at least two jobs) and treated them like anyone else.

This kind of behavior is particularly scummy since it would cost very little, if any) additional money to pick up the phone and call a temp agency since managing a primarily foreign workforce is inefficient. It's not about money, it's about having employees you can treat like sh#t.

> The author doesn't seem to understand the difference between motivation and discipline. He has been successful into tricking himself into a frequent state of writing motivation. He's very lucky to have done so.

In strong agreement with this comment. The idea of writing every day is to create a habit of writing. It is not about motivation. Imagine taking a walk after dinner everyday for many years. It becomes a necessity. Similarly with writing, you want to convert a conscious decision to work, into a visceral feeling that you just have to do it. Consequently, you don't have to dip into your limited willpower supplies.

Agreed, I like the simplicity of the game. I've tried ingress a few times and I didn't have patience going through the wall of text to understand the game. Pokemon has a lower barrier.

For those who don't want to invest too much time, they can occasionally boot up the app when they walk around and catch a few pokemon. Those who are more hardcore will probably stick around at gyms and battle away.

> None of these have anybody (of statistically significant percentage) outside the UK salivating

Have you ever tried a traditional English pie? I'm a bit biased obviously, but as an anecdote my Italian co-worker who moved here recently absolutely loves them (and I can't help but say 'who ate all the pies, guido?' to him). They don't have that kind of pastry in their cuisine at all and he can't get enough of them. It's a national cuisine, just because not a huge number of people outside the UK eat it doesn't make it bad in any way.

> or have ever created something like a "British restaurant" to be found abroad

You're right, cuisine isn't our major cultural export (I'd say that's TV) but it's hard to find authentic national food outside of the respective nation. Most Italians would cry at the sight of most of the "Italian food" served at "Italian restaurants", just because it's not a label you can stick on your restaurant doesn't mean it's bad...

> Bacon, sausages, eggs, and beans? I think nutritionists can point to at least 20 other candidate countries for that title...

You forgot the hash browns, black pudding and toast, all in huge quantities. Also that went way over your head, it's possibly the most unhealthy breakfast in the world when done right.
Apologies for the question but what benefits do I get if I build on firebase?

From the people I talked to it seems that the main audience for firebase is mobile engineers that either don't have the skillset or the time to learn how to build a backend system. Most people I talked to also told me they wouldn't use firebase if they could build a backend.

I do understand him. He probably cares about none of these things, and for all
things he does care he probably saw a library or framework or something

me to various places, like topic maps, indexing semi-structured data, or

plenty of projects to improve my field, I just don't have the energy to carry

Why Gluten-Free Is a Waste of Your Time – And Money
Isn't middle class also a working class? I was brought up as middle class, not especially wealthy would even classify it towards the lower end, but highly educated as both parents were academics.

I worked every summer since I was 13, and 16ish to 18 also during the school year now and then (17/18 was fairly lucky early it was really early 2000's and I mastered PHP rather well so made actually decent money building websites when web2.0, CMS and dynamic content were still meaningful buzzwords).

> Also, I think a game shouldn't impose too many boundaries when not buying anything in-game

This is the big problem the way I see it. Done badly, in game purchases become cheats, and I don't want to spend money on cheats.

Not for any moral reasons, but because it's no fun.

In game purchases that don't serve as cheats is another matter. E.g. as you mention speeding up something where the only difference would be that you'd have to wait longer to achieve the same.

Also Braintree's registration process was crazy when it came time to move past their sandbox and accept real payments.

They wanted so much personal information including my full social security # (not just the last 4), copy of my driver's license and a copy of a recent utility bill.

Then on top of that I got questioned because I don't have any credit (I purposely made a life choice not to use credit cards), so they demanded 3 months of my most recent bank statements.

It took days of this, combined with struggling with their documentation until I just gave up and went with Stripe. Never looked back since.

Stripe's registration process was painless and automated. They also requested the bare minimum to accept payments directly to my bank account. It was a flawless experience.

I know it was my mistake, and I don't even mean it as a complaint but rather as an observation.

For what it's worth, I've gotten really in to cooking since living here. I make my own Doro Wat and tequila lime chicken in particular.

In general, foods here don't usually have a lot of nuanced flavours. There are exceptions, and I love a hearty uncomplicated meal as much as the next person, but I do miss it. Admittedly I may have been spoiled when I was in CA, where I lived (San Diego and SF) both seem to have pretty great food.
These are some great points. In particular, we need to reduce the stigma on addicts, especially those that [try to] recover. Mind you, reducing the stigma is hard, because the stigma doesn't come from a void, or from laws, it comes from the cumulative experience people have with addicts, which are less than great. In another piece from the same story, http://www.latimes.com/projects/la-me-oxycontin-everett/, read on Brandon Smith, who ended up spending all his savings and belongings on drugs, ultimately resorting to robberies. Personally, the first addict I ever met ended up stealing my winter jacket within 3 month of working in the same building, in the middle of a heavy winter. Robbing and stealing are not great ways to build sympathy or trust.

I happen to share the experience to shrugging off nicotine addiction. It was very easy to get hooked [peer pressure played a role], and surprisingly hard to get rid of. In my case, took a few weeks of fighting my body with reason. From what I hear, opioid addiction is stronger, thus I'm having a really really hard time believing that having over-the-counter opioids that anyone can "try a few times" is going to be anything but a major disaster.

The best strategy for most people is to never use opioids. Simply not worth the risk of ruining one's life for a very short time gratification. Given the reality of rebellious teenagers / young adults, I'd much rather have no easy legal path for opioids. Sorry, no opioids in a supermarket locker that you can get by just showing your driver license. On the flip side, I believe we should still crack down hard on dealers, to keep pressure on the supply side.

Which leaves us with the people caught in the opioid trap. While we already fund addiction research, see https://www.drugabuse.gov/international/research-funding-lan..., we probably could do more. We already have rehab clinics where at least some form of palliative care is to be found, though we should seek to make rehab and rehab clinics a better experience. Whether that includes availability of drugs, I frankly haven't seen any relevant research indicating that's a good idea, and I see some evidence [prescription abuse, see the original article] that it is rather dangerous.
Great point, I forgot about that in this context. Also the broad availability of consumer credit.
Middle class kids are unreliable because they don't "need" the work. They want it to buy things for themselves or to feel a sense of independence, but anything 'more important' that comes up will cut infront of work. If they need to go to school, or camp, or have a family event...they'll do that instead of work because work isn't a necessity.

The poor on the otherhand will go to work over all else, and they'll never have their parents give them a choice between going to work next month or going on vacation in Hawaii.
Were we limiting this to national cuisines? What is that, even? When people ask about my favourite American (they mean US but that's another conversation) food I typically answer Mexican or Ethiopian, because those are some of the best foods I've had in the US.

Very nice game!
Here are some thing I've notices during playing it.

* There is no usefull coding workflow. Thats how I do it: CTRL+o, enter filename, write some code, ESC, CTRL+ENTER, CTRL+UP, ENTER, oh an error, CTRL+o, enter filename, .... That is a little bit tedious.

* Without syntax highlighting, typos occur everywhere :)

* If there is an error in a script, the stacktrace shows a line number. But the editor does not have line numbers, so I have to count it manually. That sucks.

* Switching between modes would be nice. So switching from the mail view to the editor an back again (with the file and the mail opened) would be nice. A lot of time, there are some bits an pices in the mail which are relevant in the flight mode or in the editor (station names, some hints etc.)

* I've crashed the game and brought it to a point it can't be played any more. (https://p.fu86.de/1468240067-8920.png) (I think I've done ship.docs.msg1 = dofile(...), which caused the problem). Even if I wipe the savegame and use the stock config, the game crashed again after a few seconds.
Well no. The working class is the bottom end of the middle class (historically factory workers, currently teachers and clerking jobs). The upper end of the middle-class are people making 150k+ a year. The middle-end have jobs within the 80k to 100k range.
If I recall correctly Spain is the biggest exporter of olive oil, with Italy and Tunisia somewhere behind (and in fact most of the Italian exports are just Spanish oil, Italian branded).

It makes way less economic sense to adulterate the olive oil in Spain when it is not a gourmet import, but a staple daily produce.

On the pricier premium virgen extra oil there has been some fraud, nonetheless (in Spanish: http://m.europapress.es/sociedad/consumo-00648/noticia-ocu-a...).
At the time of those videos, the Labour leadership coup wasn't in full effect, the questions instead were focused on hammering on the 'unelectable' narrative the BBC and other mainstream media outlets have been aiming at Corbyn since he got in the leadership race.

Contrast this with the softball questions that Cameron was getting. Worth remembering there's plenty of controversial decisions that the Conservatives made in the recent past that they could've discussed, that 'no journalist can ignore', I can go into details if you like.

Additionally, I could point out plenty of other examples of media spin from the BBC against Corbyn. Would be willing to share more.
I was just in Spain, and was told that prior to the financial crisis much of the olive oil produced in Italy and Greece was made from olives grown in Spain. (Spain is a massive producer of olives.) After the crisis they stopped exporting olives and started bottling their own oil, which was the cause of the shortage in supply of extra virgin oil from e.g. Italy that led to organised crime getting into the fake olive oil business. So there's every reason to think that Spain in particular is awash in genuine olive oil.
If you knew what happened to the animals your cheap meat comes from, or what their meat contains, or what the process of raising those animals does to the environment, you wouldn't consider organic meat to be ridiculously priced.

As a business, we've used PayPal since it's inception and Braintree as of last year. Both have been amazing experiences for us (Except for PayPal.com usabliity....ugh). Braintree, in particular, doesn't feel like a PayPal company. Good API documentation, support and website usability.

We've never experienced any of the pains that I've read about PayPal. But, perhaps, it's due to our long-standing relationship.

I considered buying the stock, for the reason that maybe this means (1) Nintendo has quietly shifted their strategy to include mobile and other platforms or (2) seeing this mobile money will finally convince Nintends that they can make a ton more with additional mobile titles.

Either way, I expect Nintendo will finall be releasing more mobile games. I suspect investors think the same thing, leading to the $7b increase.

It is a problem with US regulators assuming that EU regulations are something more than scams to bid up the price of olive oils by claiming they came from a particular region (usually one that makes some bogus terrior claim) when in fact they do not. If the EU cannot enforce its own vaunted food regulations then I suppose the US should just stop accepting any claims regarding food provenance and dispense with any DOP compliance whatsoever...
