But does have a tremendous effect on the food. Of course you can get good food in the US I have been to many restaurants that were both good in an absolute sense and good value.

But you know that there is something wrong when children say "I can't eat this it's too sweet" which is what happened to me when I took my family with me to North Carolina for an extended business trip. In the supermarkets almost everything you can buy is heavily sweetened and seems to be designed for the most childish of tastes.
The common mistake that many (but not necessarily you) make is to assume that conscious effort is proportional to energy use in the brain. The idea that willpower brain is some kind of store that can be depleted is not as parsimonious as other hypotheses.

Cognizing is a costly activity, whether daydreaming or thinking, a lot of stuff is going on. So why does thinking in particular feel difficult?

The least terrible analogy I can think of is to imagine a distribution network. Postal systems, railways, the internet; whether they are at 20% or 100% utilization, the marginal costs don't budge much. The other key concept is that the brain both learns as well as has to figure out how to do so efficiently. Reward schedules and surprises play prominently into this.

The hypothesis: some things feel difficult in a way not directly related to energy use because it's attention that is key and it is better thought of as a resource to be allocated and managed.

The questions are: why is it so hard to maintain focus on abstractions for extended periods of time? Someone is going to mention the ADHD hunter ancestor theory as selectors for extended focus, but even then, I will say that their attention still did not stay as fixed or devoid of obvious rewards as some abstract thinking requires. Is focus trainable? Why are some better at not responding to immediate rewards? Is this trainable?

Try Australian olive oil. There was a tax scam some years ago here which resulted in stacks of olive oil plantations, so now australian olive oil should be a good price over there I'd imagine.
This game is targeting young kids, so I'm not sure there will ever be any person-identifying interaction. A lot of online multiplayer games for kids don't have interactions beyond friending/favouriting someone. P-GO would be a prime candidate for 4chan type people and you can imagine how that would work together with location spoofing and global playground. I expect that Nintendo & Niantic know this (Ingress never solved the chat spamming issues - bots advertising resources for real money)

Show HN: UFC API client for golang
Israel – The “startup nation” is running out of steam
I remember ordering garlic chips for the first time after moving from CA.

I had been foolishly looking forward to a meal of fried potatoes, olive oil, Parmesan, salt, and lightly seared diced garlic, with perhaps a bit of parsley (or, dare I dream, cilantro/coriander). I thought it might bring back memories of nights spent at Giants games

What I got was chips with a gigantic blob of sightly garlic-scented mayonnaise plopped on top of it. Disappointing, to say the least.

To be fair, there is some fantastic food, but you have to look for it. Dublin has some surprisingly good burritos, for instance. I think the issue comes from the fact that inexpensive street food in places like Italy is phenomenal, but in Ireland and the UK tends to be mediocre.
yes I always look for restaurants that look a bit crappy but full of people. You know the food must be worth it.

The scientific literature doesn't show MSG to be completely harmless. Some people definitely have negative reactions it and other sources of free glutamates.

Eg http://www.livescience.com/47931-msg-not-safe-for-everyone.h...

Copying from Wikipedia:

>"Excitotoxicity is the pathological process by which nerve cells are damaged or killed by excessive stimulation by neurotransmitters such as glutamate and similar substances." //

Is excitotoxicity of glutamates a myth, it must be if the claim that 'MSG is completely harmless' is true.

"It sums to "I can tweak my setup and get this part to be good enough relative to the expensive machine." and that is great. What is missing is it is every friggin' part. Seriously, all of the $2,000 printers have quirks that hit based on part geometry, especially in ABS. Part too long? need to add hold down tabs to prevent warping. Too many overhangs? extra supports. Too long a tool travel? Up the hotend temperature so that the extruded material doesn't cool down to much."

This is called 'mechanical engineering'. :-)

Theranos needs to show the scientific community that blood oozing from an open wound (a finger prick), contaminated by tissues and surface bacteria, is clinically comparable to blood extracted directly from a vein. They also need to prove that analyzing a diluted, contaminated blood sample with the Siemens instrument produces an accurate result.

Perhaps Theranos hasn't published any research on the scientific foundations of their technology because they have nothing of value to show us.

Not surprising, since most of the "creative" work has nothing to do with creativity. You don't have much room for creative expression when you're paid to paint UIs or make magazine layouts or make cheap landscapes for sale.

The artists I know say that creativity doesn't pay the bills; it's something they'd love to do, but struggle to have time/means for.

>I hate playing games where other players can just spend $10 and overtake hours worth of skilling.

But you can't. Not really. I guess it's location-dependant but if you live anywhere near a student campus or town there are literally tens of pokestops in a short 10min walk. My SO has got from level 1-11 without spending a penny, just by incorporating more pokestops into her little 'route' she has going. Added to that, the cooldown on a pokestop is 5 mins iirc, so you can pretty much milk them infinitely. If there's a stop in a pub for example, you'd be able to get 12 spins in the hour it takes you to catch up with your friends. Each spin tends to yield between 1-5 poke/greatballs.

Not sure what else is p2w, I was in the same boat as you until I saw how much progress my SO made without touching her purse.

I guess arguably the incense items in the cash shop are 'p2w', but you do get these through levelling up. Haven't seen any appear at pokestops yet. I've used 5 myself and all I've obtained through it are more Weedles and Pidgeys.
Surely the thousands of years of human civilizations consuming non-GMO products should count as a fairly strict approval process?
Separating currencies into machine money and people money won't make any difference - People will just create exchanges on which they will be able to trade between the two and it will basically reach an equilibrium - Same as before, except more complicated (and more wasteful).

The real solution to inequality is to introduce a tax on capital holdings. The more assets are owned by an entity in terms of total dollar value, the higher the tax bracket should be.

You could have 0% tax per year for asset holdings below $1 million and the % would progressively increase to 100% tax for companies with a capital worth of $10 trillion or above. That would make sure that corporations don't get too big and will encourage people to invest their money in smaller companies.

This would also encourage large corporations to break themselves up into smaller parts (to avoid taxes) - But that will be a good thing, there will be more CEO/executive jobs available and it would be more interesting for investors since they will now be able to be more selective about which specific parts of a previously huge corporation you want to invest in and stock price would move independenty.

Extremely wealthy individuals (billionaires) will be incentivized to give away large parts of their wealth to charity in order to reduce their taxes down and bring their asset holdings to an equilibrium.

This policy needs to be enforced globally (E.g. a UN resolution/international treaty) to avoid flight of capital.

But I think even with flight of capital factored in, countries that enforce this tax will be much better off economically due to the massive inefficiencies of large corporations.
Australia to use underwater robot to explore Antarctic
While the picture seems bad for Ego-Depletion, I find the counter arguments put forward in the article not wholly satisfying, either.

So they tried to replicate it in a large effort and failed, but they didn't use the same test as in the original paper. How is that a replication study? I think to properly fail a replication study, you should use the same test as in the original study. In the replication the used many participants, but developed a cheaper test to administer (wholly computer based).

As it is, they have another indicator that Ego Depletion might not be real, but just as well there could be some other effect that explains why the replication failed.

Likewise for meta analysis: it looks good on paper, how could an average of n studies be wrong? Surely the mass of papers studied will cancel out all the flaws of the individual studies? But on the other hand it seems to me meta analysis would overestimate the impact of bad studies, as they are easier to make so there a probably more of them.

A meta study is certainly an interesting data point, but I feel it can not always be the end of the story. It can maybe point out the need for deeper questions or further research, but not be proof on it's own.
You know, if someone wanted to generate training sets for human social behavior under a given variety of conditions, I bet a game like Ingress would be a great way to go about it. But you'd need a much larger install base, over a broader range of people, to get really worthwhile data.
In my country abortion laws were changed to much stricter 19 years ago, while everything else changed like in most developed countries.

Crime dropped significantly, and is on the low-medium end in European Union, from high-end in early nineties.

So I think abortion is irrelevant, and it's mostly lead and general quality of life issues.
Yes, of course you are right about the safety of the kids.

I just wish there was an opt-in system where you can choose to share your ingame actions. If you don't share it you are invisible and you can't see other players, but if you are into Ingress-like gameplay you can just enable it.

About bots and cheating in Ingress: the biggest problem is that Niantic is a small company and they just don't have the manpower to sufficiently deal with the cheating. If they were Valve or Blizzard the situation would be a bit different.
Yet Nintendo market cap gained 7 billion on Pokemon Go alone. I wonder if these investors really have no idea that the tech behind the game is Niantic and that Pokemon isn't even completely owned by Nintendo, or that there's something I'm missing here.

Patenting mechanics of life and GMO are two separate issues not really connected to each other. There's plenty of plant development, for instance, that is covered by patents or patent-like protections, even if it's not GMO in the sense you talk about.

(It's often GMO in the sense "let's take a bunch of seeds, expose them to radiation and carcinogens, and experiment with whatever comes out.)

In some countries (e.g. mine), these rights are not called "patent" but are not substantially different from what they are where the name is patent.

A vast majority of what you eat has been developed, not thousands of years ago, but some years or decades ago, using processes such as induced mutagenesis and selection. The variance in genome produced by GMO technology is very small compared to the changes in developed plants, which is not researched at all prior to feeding to humans.

EU has many of the same problems that are mentioned in the article, though. Here in Germany efforts to enforce proper food labeling so far have failed. The olive oil scam is a thing here, too (so I have heard). Sea food - it comes from the same places as the sea food in the US.

I suspect the differences are minor, and some things people fear are maybe even not so bad. Here they fear "chlorine chicken" from the US, but who knows, maybe it actually is better to soak chickens in chlorine before selling them. Maybe you should be afraid of chlorine free chicken in the US if TTIP goes through...

Chris Stucchio ('yummyfajitas) has argued precisely that. I tend to agree with him but can't say for sure.
France already has something that smells a lot like UBI, except it's not Universal (RSA). France also has free education and health.

Now if you judge by the numbers, it's not really a success: high unemployment and low people satisfaction... plus even higher expectations about "the State". Administration is huge, costs a lot, and imposes a very rigid barrier between people and "the State": it's a country of bureaucrats. Employers and businesses are designated as "ennemies" in peoples minds, and the USA represents the ultimate Boss in the game.

In addition to RSA, France has every social benefits you can imagine... because RSA can't adjust to each situation: disabled? single mother? 6 kids? tough job?

So if you want to imagine your country with UBI, study France first. Then ask yourself if you'd like your country to be even more like France than France itself. A country where equality is the buzz word, and Liberty is totally absent of every speech.

I made the decision to leave this country because what I have in mind for my life is not 5 kids with no job... I want to work, to innovate, to create value for people, and France was making it much harder to achieve. But they have RSA and strikes. Their choice.

I do understand it sounds romantic to an american, just like USSR always sounded romantic to french people.
>Country != state.

This is my point
That's true. (for those who don't know, Niantic is the Google spinoff also responsible for Ingress).
First, let me admit that I might have not picked the right words above. To me, the best money/welfare that I ever got, were the scholarships. Just a little money that were exclusively intended to be spent on education.

This brings my thoughts to the second and more important aspect of the labor market. Recently there was an article here about Spain and how it had 5 million unemployed people and still the economy lacked the needed workers.
And what's the response of the socialists there? Give more welfare to the people. That's just not adequate. They are hoping that the people will educate themselves but let's just see how that would develop and just few percent of them will study and fill in the labor gap.
Governments should seek and demand from the people to study in exchange for that welfare money.

Last point may be only that education is highly correlated with the income and breaking out of poverty, but that's something we all know. And besides education, what else can welfare do to help you find a job?

P.S. I hope I am not the only one who is totally disregarding the claim that automation will eat out all the jobs. There has been written so much about this and we all know the problem is not there is less business to do nowadays, the problem is is harder to find the qualified workers.
I mean "decent" as in "It was better than the other options at the time" - Photobucket, etc.
The tech is the least important part of this whole thing.

It's not successful because it's particularly innovative or a fancy piece of tech, it's a success because it's pokemon.

Too many to name and to hard to locate.
I used to live by the same principles, viewing in-app-purchases as something that's always bad. I have now, though, decided that I will decide what value a game has to me and will probably spend that amount on in-app-purchases. If the game has purchases that I think are worth it though. In Pokemon Go i haven't found them worth it yet, but that may come later.

Also, I think a game shouldn't impose too many boundaries when not buying anything in-game. So I won't buy off timers that essentially break the game (i.e. Candy Crush, though I never played that, so I might be wrong). I will, however pay for something to get that instant gratification of speeding up a timer that isn't game breaking.

Why is that weird? Investors just got proof that there's a lot of new untapped potential in the Pokemon brand.
As you say, tax should be asymptotic. Something like "You keep $a n^b$ of what you earn", for some b < 1.

For example, say you keep n^.9, then a 40% pay increase will be a 36% increase after tax. No worries about what tax brackets you may be in or be about to enter.

This way the 'tax percentage' naturally converges from 0% for people who earn little, to 100% for people who earn a lot. While still basically letting everyone have asymptoticly all their money.

Hell, even paying n(1-1/logn) would make more sense than what we have now.

Making a snap decision about a person based on a 1/2 second assertion.

Of course, looks matter. We make such 'snap decisions' all day long. The problem is, absent anything else, that's the entire decision. In the real world, personality goes a much longer way than the 1000 words in a photo.

At least most online dating apps try to develop and communicate a sense of who you are, which in some cases, they do very well.
How statistics are twisted to obscure public understanding
Yet I've seen a lot of comments of people who really enjoy the augmented reality part of it, which was inherited largely from Ingress. Sure, the Pokemon IP is a huge part of the reason it took off. But the reason people actually like it is much bigger than that.
That says nothing except that its easy to get started. The strategie may is to catch players 3-5 days in who already need more than a day intensive work for a single level.

Dont get me wrong. I was niantic fan from beginning, one of the first Ingress players, probably even the first in my country. I really appreciate what they are doing.

I just simply refuse to touch pay 2 win games as they always get frustrating at some point.
Pokemon Go is magnitudes larger than Ingress, their previous project, even though it's been plagued with more issues than Ingress and is arguably not as fully featured.

The difference?

Pokemon, which Nintendo owns.

If I was an investor, I'd view the potential for licensing the Nintendo IP (something Nintendo has been extremely reluctant to do in the past) as a huge potential growth vector for a struggling market segment (consoles, specifically Nintendo-made ones.)
This. And microservices makes beanstalk too expensive.
Most of those should be "devDependencies", as they're used for build-tooling not for the actual codebase, but I'll be honest I'm right there with you: my major drama with modern front-end dev at the moment is the sheer amount of dependencies that are "required" in a traditional toolset.

That said, leveraging Browserify, Bubleify[0] and Ramda[1] alone can get you pretty far in a seriously maintainable way with modern code, which is super nice: keeps compile times stupid quick and reduces some of the cognitive overhead (and possible maintenance drama) that too many third-party deps introduce.

There's a balance to be struck here, and it's a hard problem, I think.

That would have to be a pretty fancy mill then. Any kind of overhang and you won't be able to re-work it without a 5 axis job.

And yes, you've caught on to one of the big issues with low cost 3d printers: surface finish.
True. Nintendo, of course, has a lot more IP than just Pokemon that they could license for all kinds of stuff. And the people who grew up with their games are now earning money, so they can actually buy the licensed material. Good point.
Except the German banks are not as clean as they would like you to believe, particularly the regional ones.
