Guys, most people commenting here are having at least 2x the avg income of their home country and are dangerously wrong about the motivations and the right incentives for the poor.

You are shooting yourselves and the economy in the leg if you give everybody a UBI. People need to be given incentives to become more productive and that's the only right path in the world's prosperity. One day when automation reaches that state of the art form, everybody will have lots of food, energy and shelter not because they are GIVEN for free, but because they are PRODUCED almost for free - because of technology and competition.

We can reach that state if we focus our efforts in those essential areas and the government can help by providing incentives and (maybe) cheaper credit to the venture funds in those areas.

P.S. I have been raised in a post-commie country in a poor family and have gone through the path of breaking out of poverty. I have received lots of "free" stuff and welfare along the way, both for nothing and for the promise of educating myself. The first is dead wrong, the second is the deal breaker to me.

As I said - incidents happen. And if the last scandal you have found is dated back to 2013, that only confirms my point.
In USA you need not label GMO food as GMO. [1] Because "The FDA has determined that the fish is as safe and nutritious as nongenetically modified fish, and will therefore not require the company or retailers to label the fish as genetically engineered."

Issue of scaling - if you pick completely green tomatoes, you can transport and abuse them how you want - they are hard and unlikely to be damaged. Somebody has to pay off all the managers too, the transport costs etc.
The market is pretty locked down too - in some countries you have market stalls that sell produce - usually those are very good at driving the quality up - but usually highly restricted/regulated :(
I'm surprised there's so little talk about privacy and nuisance implications of this.

We've had a large number of "suspicious behavior" reported in our neighborhood in the past week - and, honestly, it really is suspicious, as in people crawling through the bushes on private property at dusk snapping pictures with cellphones; you know, the kind of stuff that would normally make you go "hmm, I wonder if this house gets robbed soon", and give your local PD a quick call.

But I'm pretty sure it's mostly GO, just looking at how many are around. What's worse is that the game places some of those pokemons in private yards or even inside buildings, with no way to access them short of trespassing...

I hear it has improved significantly in the last year or so, development has picked up speed again. And I say that working on the competition ;)
Which is fine (I say as European). Requiring GMO labeling is is about as sensible as requiring DHMO labeling - it's scaremongering not based on science.

And Linux isn't that slow to boot if you are a bit careful. It takes about 10 seconds from when I press enter to start downloading Linux using openocd until I can log in with ssh. 3 seconds of that is the JTAG download and a second or two is the time it takes to get a DHCP lease over the network.

Companies using fake advertising need to be held accountable.

I have seen and heard about so much fake advertising, that I don't really even care what the label says anymore.

How hard would it be to create easy to use testing kits? (like home water tests for heavy metals)

If we could create test kits to help identify heavy metals, peanut oil, or other bad additives. Then that would help consumers to identify fake food.

I don't know how hard it would be to make kits like this, but it seems there is a market for it.
>. It's basically lower-grade olive or vegetable oil with some added green chlorophyl for color.

This. We Russians understand that. Maybe also people of Cuba, Venezuela or those lucky few who managed to escape from North Korea.

UBI is totalitarian BS.
As a foreign living in Germany I do appreciate the mentality that things "should be done the correct way", but many here don't understand you cannot just change a country's culture by forcing them to strictly follow EU rules.

As it has already been proven by the lumping economies in the southern Europe, people will suffer and everyone will just make use of black market for jobs and goods to survive at any cost or just leave the country thus making it even poorer in available resources to lift it up.

Now Italy is also in the game.

Assuming the Brexit works for the UK, I am just waiting to see who's next.
Every article about Theranos seems to end in criticism of Holmes, but if the apparent situation is true – that the technology just doesn't really work – it seems her actions are pretty much to be expected. Most of what she has done would be to buy more time to try and figure out the technology (which makes sense), and to try to save some face, which is understandable.

Processed food is real food in that you can eat it. That's about it. It's a very bad food in that it decreases consumers' life quality. The industry is horrible in that it is based on deception and misinformation and it thrives on an ignorant consumer base. It also requires a much larger amount of plastic wrapping than non-processed foods. I'm not linking to any studies or statistics, because this is not obscure knowledge.
also all EU producers ferociously compete with each other and won't esitate to force the local health authority to inspect foreign products at the slightest hint
It's generally suggested here in the US that you buy olive oil labeled as being from California, as the Italian labels are often adulterated or mislabeled. The periodic scandals out of Italy seem to support that view: http://www.eater.com/2016/6/30/12070668/olive-oil-fraud-ital...
> The reason front running is illegal is because it is a violation of a fiduciary duty.

And nobody is calling this kind of "front running" illegal.

> like "murder, but without the killing someone", or "fraud, but without the deception".

In a murder analogy, you'd keep the killing but change something else, maybe it's properly manslaughter but people will still call you a murderer.

For "fraud without deception", let's look at what that entails. You lie. The victim knows you're lying, no deception involved, but they rely on your word. The victim is harmed. I think that's close enough to allow people to call it fraud, even if legally it's slightly different.

> "reacting to the public actions of other market participants"

The reason people dislike it is because it's not just 'reacting'. They're getting in their own action before the thing they're reacting to has finished.

> why don't you define it

Darawk defined this version for us. "front-running. Which is me seeing your order on exchange A and buying ahead of you on exchange B before your order arrives."

exactly. the laws protect the customers from scam low quality product equivalents.

margarine is never labeled 'tastes like butter' here. same with Grana Padano. Sure everyone has the ability to produce knock off Parmesan. But when I want the real thing I know I'll get it.
Endless deregulation makes people lots of money but is exactly why Europe should never sign TTIP.
To be honest I'm going to be a slight eco-terrorist right now. (Usually I want to tell commenters like me here to go fornicate with a cactus!) Seafood is being overexploited dramatically. While substituting gel for berries is downright despicable (or wood pulp in meat), substituting unsustainable exploitation with somewhat sustainable (pretty sure those come with a slew of own problems) seafood farms is a good thing.
TTIP will also force us europeans to allow import of food sprayed with more pesticides (than currently allowed) linked to, among others, infertility.

How can it be even more widespread than the practically ubiquitous fraud reported in the article?
I don't understand how in 2016 the value of SSL still has to be debated... Pretty poor TBH.
Yes, this is a huge worry for me. The quality of food in the US is atrocious. When I was there, almost nothing tasted as it should, everything tasted bland and mildly sweet. The only way I found to get decent meat was to buy ultra-posh organic stuff at ridiculous prices, and then it would be no more than on par with the cheapest meat I could buy in Spain. Even chocolate is affected!

TTIP is one of the worst things that could happen to quality of life in Europe.
Similar to the band Cake. Nobody cares what they have to say about politics; we just follow them for one purpose.

Sorry, I thought you were claiming that fake food was not widespread. ("because every EU country has its own FDA equivalent that provisions much smaller market")

> if the last scandal you have found is dated back to 2013, that only confirms my point.

Words fail me at your reasoning. How closely do you think I follow foreign food purity issues?
Surely the high gloss finish on the black material is drawing attention to a lot of the flaws as well? I'd really like to see a same colour comparison between the two.
Well it's not as simple as that, because if for example a given wine is produced a few kilometers from the Bordeaux region for example, it's probably similar in quality and you can consider yourself a wise consumer for finding it. However, if it's made in a very different place, the conditions might be different, and tradition will most likely be different, so protected designations of origin (PDOs) make sense in certain markets.

Ferengistan in all its disgusting purity. The profit (or avoiding-cost) motive always prevails.
In switzerland the WWF has a very good overview over all (mostly swiss) labels for meat, fish and all other kinds of food. I suggest to checkout one of those very critic organizations.
If that's the reason you expect it, the regulation is the sole justification for its own existence. I feel quite comfortable calling that "stupid".

The following applies to all methods:

1. Keep in mind that "forcing" yourself to do something takes considerable energy.

You can imagine a second inner you, that's, for one reason or another, actively sabotaging your efforts to get something done.
Now you can barter with that second you and get it to agree to work, but if you push it too far it will relapse.

So: It's important to get a feeling for your motivational energy. If you managed to overcome procrastination successfully yesterday, don't expect the same today.

Just like in sports, give yourself a rest when needed and be realistic about your daily potential.

2. Not all work is created equal. There is more creative and more repetitive work. If you don't feel productive, do the chores.

Is there even any definition of what “keeping food safe” actually means? And it still would mean nothing as long as those standards aren't being enforced.
I absolutely agree, OK some of my comments could have been a little less 'defeated' sounding, but that's the way I feel when I have to explain this over and over again.
It used to be that germans called Dutch tomatoes 'Wasserbombe'. Although nowadays they are starting to breed for taste over looks again.
Enforcement of parking rules by low paid workers should more than pay for itself. Prosecuting food fraud is more expensive for the government, and unlikely to be an election issue.

The claim that Las Vegas or Orlando have culture beyond pots of yogurt in the mini-marts is laughable. Austin's culture is slowly being bled away by the same rising costs of living that afflict other tech hubs, but there are still wisps of it outside the 6th street tourist area if you look for it according to those who still remain in the area. You would probably have made a better claim by going with the Raleigh-Durham area and Charlotte.

>This quote, "With some tweaks to my G code and use of a nozzle that is more suited for higher resolution prints I am confident that I could produce a part that would be very close to the quality of the Stratasys produced part." really summed it up. 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.

is sooo true regardless of discipline.

sure, you can make vim/emacs/sublime or macos/linux/windows behave just like you want, but you have to do this on every box you ever touch (disclaimer: i use vim). as i get older, the more i want my tools to just work, without tweaking for hours that requires deep knowledge about the system i'm customizing, to the point of willing to pay money to get the customizing part done for me. in this case, the $200k machine most likely isn't used by a single person who knows everything about its quirks, so it's all the more important for it to work correctly without tweaking, on the first try. i wish more software was like that.

The point is, which many commenters seem to be missing, is UK Trading Standards and equivalent EU bodies regularly test to see that foods meet claimed ingredients and are not adulterated. Prosecutions, sanctions and bans are frequent. The periodic outrages are relatively rare and become front page news.

If you claim on the label that your product is 52% tuna it can be (and frequently is) randomly tested and if it's not tuna, or 52% you can be open to prosecution.

By the sounds of the US system you're probably eating horse regularly, but no one ever tests to establish this.

In the case of the UK, austerity has resulted in Trading Standards being stretched to breaking point or beyond as funding has sunk way below actual need. Presumably the Tories will soon point to this as proof that a state owned system cannot work so let's privatise it.

Brexit leaves me deeply concerned the UK will resemble the US more.
As often with things in life, is there really a correct way? I mean, yes, there are laws saying banks cannot receive state aid, but they were only introduced recently.

Does that really mean we should let a massive bank (or multiple banks) go bankrupt? Given the global financial system is so interconnected, only a fool would think this would have no impact to the german economy. I don't mind rules, but every rule is meant to be broken if the situation warrants it.

Monsanto is an agrichemical and seeds company. It is not in the food business. I know 'Monsanto' is sometimes used as a general synonym for 'evil company', but this is somewhat inappropriate.
In the U.S., Californian olive oils are your best bet. Otherwise, Costco Kirkland Signature olive oil (which is now Greek oil [1]) is another good choice.

Outside of Italy, it's difficult to find Italian olive oils that are not blended. The 2014 and 2015 harvest seasons have been terrible due a bacterial blight [2] that crippled many olive farms in Southern Italy.

TTIP mandates use of private arbitrage courts, which in theory could be influenced by the stronger (not on merit) of two parties, against regulations already present in the EU. For example, if EU requires the use of substance X to be no more than Y% in 1 kg of apples, but such regulation is absent in USA, an American producer could sue EU for anticompetitivenes and win.
The one thing which is missing (and which made Ingress the amazing game it is) is ingame notification and ingame player activity.

Based on the gym activity there are at least 15-20 players in my town but there is just no way of contacting them. If I am lucky I can manage to meet one by random chance but currently Pokemon Go is a rather single player game.

The other thing which is missing is a system which shows ingame player activity. At any given point I can open my scanner in Ingress and see exactly what's going on around me. I can see if there is a new player in town, I can see if my favorite enemy is active again, ... but in Pokemon Go I feel like I am blind.

I know that there are other Pokemon Go players out there in my town but I just can't see them or interact with them.

Well, it is not illegal, that is correct. Whether or not it is 'front running' is a matter of debate.

the difference in 3d printers and servers is rather hard to compare: different servers can compute the same result, faster, slower, but it'll be the same. not exactly true with 3d printers, where a result isn't binary.
The output of a program could be infinite and thus it never halts. Without Chatlin's constant or the Busy Beaver values, brute forcing is not feasible in a countably computable universe. It is still interesting to talk about Oracles, ie. Somehow getting hold of Chatlin's constant and thereby easily solving the halting problem and being able to use the induction.
