The problem with GMO labeling is that the same people who now say "if it's safe, there's no harm in a neutral label" will latter say, "if it's not unhealthy, why are you being forced by law to put a label about it"?

I wouldn't mind GMO labels at all - hell, I'd buy primarily GMO-containing products on purpose, out of spite. But there's enough insanity going on about the labels we already have (e.g. E-numbers paranoia) that I don't think labeling GMOs will end well.

>I'd also wager that most jobs and companies are not really creating any value

Then who is paying them?

Unless they are being payed by the government, they are obviously creating value for someone (their customers).

If the government gets involved, it's a different story; you have to pay for all government services whether you like them or not, and then the government (which doesn't efficiently respond to market demands) pays for a lot of things that aren't really worth as much to anyone as they cost, but the government buys them anyway because it's someone else's money.

This doesn't seem very feasible given the current level of privacy afforded to companies.

I don't think there's a way to distinguish between studies that have lost funding because there are genuinely less funds to go around, and foo experiment just happened to be one of the ones that didn't make the cut, and studies that have had the funding pulled for harmful reasons (Like negative results).

Mainly because it's devilishly easy to mask; you'd just reduce funding to research and redistribute it into something plausible like marketing. Of course this isn't feasible for lots of studies producing negative results.

Of course, one way to counter that is to insist that the data is published regardless, but I'm sure that the data could be hidden with clever use of NDAs and court arguments along the lines of "We need to prohibit the distribution of company assets".
> Where in the world do they care for British cuisine?

Ever eaten pot roast? That's British food. Ever eaten a roast potato? That's British food. Ever eaten cheese, mushrooms, roast beef or rabbit? Those are all British foods.

British food, properly done (i.e., not the result of WWII rationing or Victorian institutionalisation) is savoury and earthy: roasts, onions, cheeses, mushrooms, potatoes, carrots, turnips. It is hearty and filling, and goes well with the native ale. It's delicious.

Yes, the EU as a whole looks good...

It's when you peel away the EU flag and look at individual countries you see that some economies are in the gutter pretty much due to countries having vastly different needs.

Whats in say Germany's interests isn't in Italy/Greece's interest economically, economies are having crisis points constantly and continuous band aids instead of enacting policy that will fix it with a solid foundation.

I personally don't know whats needed to fix this, even Europe-wide economic policy is a hard sell because of the vastly different needs of individual countries within the union.

Something needs to happen, there's a generation of young people being left behind with unemployment/underemployment and their future is becoming more and more murky.

You write:

> Any reasonable person with knowledge of litigation knows that the only reason you attempt to hide things from discovery is that they are incriminating, aggravating (in the legal sense) and/or damning.

I disagree with that. As a general rule of thumb, "only people who have done something wrong would care about privacy" is a frequently used truism which is actually quite false. In this particular case, reasonable people with knowledge of litigation know that there are many, many reasons to hide things from discovery. The most common is because "the lawyers haven't reviewed this and so we don't know whether it would be problematic or not -- 99% chance it isn't a problem, but we shouldn't take any chances". This is the main reason (at least in the US) why companies have data destruction policies that require all emails and documents past a certain age be automatically deleted (unless an explicit step is taken to retain them).

"If I were you, no matter who you choose to integrate, I'd encapsulate it behind your own payment "service" so that even if you have to switch or you need to add more then one (highly recommended), then you can."

This is the best advice in the comments. I've seen my own code and others become overly coupled to a specific provider's terminology, mechanisms, and expectations - leading it to be exceptionally painful when you inevitably have to migrate away to a new provider (or support more than one).

What do they mean by "very fast userspace process"? If you're doing the same thing the kernel would be doing, the userspace process should be strictly slower due to context switches. What costs are they saving on here?

> For UK of course it's even worse, they're actively known for the bad taste and cuisine.

Only by people who've no idea what they're talking about. British food got a bad reputation due to, I think, three factors: first, it's the native cuisine of the English-speaking world (which means both that people don't notice it and that there are a lot of cheap, poorly-executed examples to hand); second, rationing during and after the Second World War badly hurt both availability of ingredients and folks' taste for ingredients; third, Victorian-era institutions were terribly efficient at churning out 'scientific,' 'cutting-edge' food-like substances which were almost but not quite entirely unlike the real article.

Native English, Welsh, Scottish & Irish cuisines are all delicious.

>Class-divided society is bad

Why? If class is simply a de facto consequence of the fact that not everyone is exactly the same (God forbid), why should we try to stamp it out? There's nothing wrong with being different. The only thing I would object to is an artificial class system that keeps people down. Enforced substantive equality (everyone must be exactly the same!) keeps people down just as much as any caste system.
This might not be obvious but the primary problem with GMO is that as a farmer you have to buy (in FSF terms) proprietary seeds and fertilizers.

Good stuff. I've started using Elixir and Phoenix in a new project (I wanted concurrency for making a lot of HTTP calls) and while functional programming does take getting used to (you can not write something like a counter that increments itself in a loop) it's been relatively easy to pick up. Compared to learning Node.js, it's been a more relaxed and productive experience (although maybe I'm not making a fair comparison because I've implemented way more things in Node that I have yet to try in Elixir.)

>You can never prove that any food is safe beyond a doubt.

Ultimately, this. You can test for very, very small numbers, but you can't test for zero. This is why, for example, even though lead has no biological function, extremely small "acceptable levels" are specified in regulations rather than simply saying zero lead. You can prove that, for example, lead levels in the air are less than 0.15 µg/m^3, or that they are not. You cannot do that for zero (nonzero is easy to verify, but zero is not).

There is also, of course, the fact that no food is safe in all scenarios. Even pure water is toxic at high enough doses. For that reason, it makes no sense to hold GMO food to even higher standards than non-GMO food: equal standards certainly make sense, but not higher.
Encryption is completely orthogonal to discovery.

That said, yes, it's just trivial to assume that Uber wanted more, however, it's also quite standard operating procedure that in these cases all the legal responsibility is on the contractor, unless someone can somehow produce evidence that points to someone at Uber expressly requesting this "extralegal" investigation.

Pizza is a good key here in my mind because if you consider what americans call 'deep dish' pizza - the rest of the world calls that a flan/quiche/tart/pie. And then there is the insistence on calling all pizzas, 'pizza pie'. Pizza and Pie are two different foods, with very little in common besides dough and an oven.

> superior take on the style.

Im sure there are people who would tell me the same about american beer, or american cheese, or american bread, or any other food. I'm sure there will be people who claim american-style Thai food is better than authentic Thai food.

I've been to a few countries, and literally the only food I've found that is consistently the same experience is Indian food.

However, even taking that into account, America somehow manages to make its own 'versions' of food just so much worse compared to the rest of the world. The obsession with quantity, and the ridiculous use of corn syrup probably plays a factor here.
The Twitter comparison seems very off. Note that the article is talking about Android only. According to https://about.twitter.com/company, Twitter has 310 MAUs and 83% are Mobile. They've publicly stated MAU to DAU retention is 44% (Bloomberg, etc). That leaves Twitter on Android with 40-60M+ DAUs. Pokemon Go's download number which is plainly visible in the Google Play Store is >5M but <10, and that's worldwide. So Android Pokemon Go = 5-10M DAUs MAX, Android Twitter = 40-60M DAUs

The "very fast userspace process" has direct access to hardware NIC RX queue and is doing busy polling. It uses 100% CPU all the time. The process is faster then kernel because:

- it does less only since it implements only some subset of iptables

- is single threaded, no locks

- doesn't implement TCP

- it's small, no iTLB misses

- the working size set is small, we only deal with couple of packets at a time

- no memory allocations on the hot path (no skb)

- it is doing busy polling, saving the Xus needed for an interrupt context switch
Yeah, I guess.

But something else came to my mind now:

> Of course, one way to counter that is to insist that the data is published regardless, but I'm sure that the data could be hidden with clever use of NDAs and court arguments along the lines of "We need to prohibit the distribution of company assets".

I find myself more and more treating complexity as a proxy for dishonesty. Companies that are trustworthy seem to have a relatively simple business model that they don't try to hide. The more convoluted it is, the more likely it is someone is scamming you. Wonder if that could be used as an effective metric - the more complex the reason someone weasels away from publishing the data, the more their "reputability" score goes down?
Seems like this is mostly a bug fixing release. Solid stuff nonetheless. I recently learned Elixir and even though I came from an object oriented and imperative language background, I've fallen in love with the language. Switching back to others like JavaScript really leave me missing so many of the functional features, especially pattern matching. I think I've been spoiled.

Eliezer's book is long, but his writing is great. Definitely worth a read.
I think conscious effort in itself is not difficult. What is difficult is to be lacking acceptable options or strategies to solve the problem at hand. That is causing anxiety and fatigue.

To put this in terms of machine learning, the brain is doing reinforcement learning maximizing a value function. But when the value function is very low and options (strategies) available are too limited, the system can't output a satisfactory action for the next step so it interprets this as suffering.

It's all about availability of choices, not the actual effort. What's depleting is not energy in the brain but the perception of how well we can handle the situation. The state of flow is also related to conscious effort, but in flow there is always a good outlook, there are many options available, many strategies, creative possibilities of combination, and consequently, it's a joyful activity.

You sound like you have never tried to install any sizable haskell package ever... Cabal-hell was a very real problem, and an inordinate amount of time was spent by package maintainers to help people installing their packages, even on the IRC #haskell channel, cabal-hell questions would very frequently pop-up. Also, you FUD about Yesod is not true at all, they followed the PVP closely up until 1.1.0, as another commenter mentioned. Even with the PVP, you would basically have to nuke your cabal packages, or, when sandboxes finally came in cabal, you could use them.

This would be one of the worst possible outcomes of Nintendo dipping their toes into the mobile game category. Nintendo doesn't need to bootstrap, they don't need to mine user data, they are brimming with IP and are backed by a lot of creative people.

My hope is after this initial success they start adding in paid apps that tie into improve their existing games. Something like exploring the real world for Pokemon allows them or the items they carry to be transferred to the 3DS version.

If something like that is successful full development of uniquely mobile games that are actually worth paying for and don't require the app to be full of ads, cheat to win paid upgrades, or completely unnecessary waiting periods between levels. The best outcome for the mobile gaming industry would be the fall of in-app purchasing in favor of outright buying fun well made games.

Nintendo's IP is strong enough to lead this charge with the right business strategy.
