The people could also just eat healtier, right (if they can afford it, that is)?

"All things are poison and nothing is without poison, only the dosage makes a thing not poison."

But I guess if sugar etc. would get a high tax, the tax money could be used to better educate the people which could possibly turn them away from too much sugar. And if we are at it, remove mc donalds, burger king etc. from the school grounds and sell healtier food.
A ring buffer has a limit to the number of unread items before you either block or start discarding. Different use cases I suppose.
I was totally off sugar for a while. My diet shifted to consist mostly of meat. Unfortunately, my cholesterol shot up like anything.

Eating vegetarian, or white meat that's quick is very hard to do without sugar. I eat Soylent, and it's super sugary, but easy to consume. On the other hand, I've tried a bunch of protein bars / powders, and literally none of them are savory.

But, yeah, I agree with you, I would kill for an easy, pure vegetable diet.
Re 1: It's funny to hear Asian women gripe about white guys liking Asian women, when it's really the other way around.

If you look at online dating stats, like eHarmony, OkCupid, and CoffeeMeetsBagel, white men generally respond to messages from Asian women with the same sort of approval rate as white women, albeit slightly less so.

Whereas for Asian women, they respond to messages from white men at a noticeably higher rate than from Asian men. [1]

CoffeeMeetsBagel also showed that for users who select a single desired ethnicity, a larger percentage of Asian women exclusively note that they want to date white men, compared to the behavior of white men [2a][2b]

The goal of the legislation was reduced use of plastic bags. I am saying that at the rate we accumulate reusable bags, the price of 10 cents is simply too low to force people to remember to carry a reusable bag when visiting the grocery store.

I am not a musician and, after listening to the piece, I was left with a question. To me, that part does sound playfully dissonant, yet it’s enjoyable. But I wonder, is this dissonance just a product of its key being foreign to the piece, as you say, or is there any chord in use that would be considered dissonant by music theory?
Seems you have never been to Germany ;-) No offense. Most highways have a speed limit only some have none.

And most of the highways that don't have a speed limit are quite narrow so while it is possible, no sane driver would do so.

If you look at highway A5 as an example. This highway has 8 lanes, which makes driving fast quite dull since you can not really feel the speed relative to the environment.

Electric heating is a huge red flag - living in the northeast US, that tends to indicate that whoever built the building is not from around here, and perhaps came up from the South, or some other area that does not have real winters. Usually where you find electric heaters, you'll also find wildly insufficient insulation, foundations that aren't up to frost, and any number of other design flaws that bite you in the ass when it is below freezing for four or five months out of the year.

Natural gas or heating oil is far more economical, although nothing beats the warmth provided by a good wood stove.
Yeah, remove the motorized part and it's a nice idea. I like multipurpose furniture and rooms. But the maintenance overhead is too much, unless you really, really need to save those 1-3 minutes on switching from bedroom to office...

Labeling this a "statistical inevitability" obscures the issue. It seems clear from numerous demos posted to YouTube that some autopilot users are very comfortable taking their hands off the wheel. That's an outright violation of the TOS. Yet, lots of people do it. Some erroneously refer to it as "hands free" mode.[1] Some even observe the fact that they're not supposed to do it while doing it.[2]

The human factors here are tough. But safe design needs to account for human factors. The enthusiast community seems especially prone to over-trusting the autopilot, and that's something Tesla should be examining in their safeguards.

I don't know about the first part (and frankly I don't care) but my idea of the second part is the same length as a patent: 20 years. 20 years after publication all works irrevocably enter the public domain and are free for everyone to use for all purposes. 20 years after death unpublished works also enter the public domain or are ineligible for copyright. And the law that sets this would state that all existing works now have just 20 years copyright.

There are stuff like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_%2B_2_%2B_3_%2B_4_%2B_%C2%B7..., but writing 1+2+3+... = -1/12 is purely formal and pretending to deduce it from physics is silly because you are not performing any sum at all.

Yet they voted the same type of guy/party who ru(i)ned syria or libia to power?

And enough of that evil western/jew outsiders scapegoats conspiracy theory's to avoid the realization that a whole culture produces failing governments on a regular basis.

Those rebels are mainly backed up by local powers- Saudi arabia, Iran and yes turkey.

Something in these cultures is unable to keep institutions and democracy alive.
And the scapegoats all sound so old, shall i list them? The western media, decadence, capitalism, socialism, christianity, judaism, budhism, sports, TV, music, the internet the list of evildoers is endless. They where all eliminated in experiments, and the evidence is there, that they are not the things holding these societys back.

Why not for once, own these mistakes and realize all those creepy crawly's from outside are just fleas biting a already diseased dog.

And yes, its everywhere the same symptom, in every country that becomes islamic. And the deflection-method that the social reality produced by a cultural system are not connected to the very system, has gone out of the window too by the way.

Here is the question wanting a answer:

What in these culturs undermines institutions to work correctly?

What destroys the ability of judges to oppose governments?

What creates this wish to go back towards a perfect time- and time where the lack of modern medicine would have killed half of those wishing back to these times?

What undermines the concept of a human live being sacred?

I hate cheering for the military here, but they released turkey back into democracy several times. Islamic dictators did this nowhere.

Agreed - I've seen other demo videos of similar furniture that can be converted by just one person - a smaller build female person to boot. IMO engineering something with clever cantilevers so that pre teen kids etc. can manipulate them is far preferable to an electronic motor having to do it.

It's got more to do with the tuning system.

Think of it as '6 degrees of separation'. The further away I am away from the starting point, the more alien the tuning would be, and therefore the more startling the sound.

During this period in music, the ideal was to make the 'home base' key to be as perfectly in tune as possible (making adjustments of course).

Michelangelo Rossi is playing with this, and is pushing the boundaries of those assumptions. William Byrd did much the same in England at pretty much the same time.

It makes me wonder if the hyper-specialised quarter-tone composers of our day might have had a better time of it if we had never adopted equal temperament as the standard…

It might look like it, but the referendum would have gone the same way if not. Kagame's administration saw with it the largest drop in child mortality in recorded history (source: private conversation), rapid development, stability, expanded rights and political visibility of women.. and, as far as I've heard no one knows who would run the country as stably if it weren't Kagame.
The article implies that people of low-income backgrounds are vulnerable to obesity. It wouldn't surprise me given that it's a lot cheaper to fill yourself up with soft drinks and carbs like bread/pasta/rice than it is to do with vegetables (at least, without a lot more research/effort).
I like the premise of the article. This is now a black & white issue; it's not about how the onus is entirely on the user, or entirely on the machine. Instead it's about both assisting each other, but humans ultimately remaining at the wheel.
You might reread the post you're responding to, more closely.
It needs to be rewritten, unfortunately. However this isn't just rewriting it so it works with one tool, since this is the new module syntax. I imagine that a future version of jQuery, and probably most libraries going forward, will want to take advantage of ES2015 modules, even if it's just to aid in their own internal development. Since we have module bundlers like rollup, it would be easy to still provide an ES5 bundle for environments that do not use ES2015 modules yet.

Tee hee, Haskell doesn't have tail recursion (e.g. foldl takes linear space), and structural recursion in Haskell isn't guaranteed to terminate (e.g. if you're given an infinite list).

If I were in charge of developing a safety critical system, and someone came to me with a proposal to write it in Haskell, I'd be very skeptical.
Because there is a programming language (PHP dialect) called that.
An extreme version of this is the amazing "transformer" flat design by a Hong Kong architect:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Rm-GpEis5uc
Architect / software developer here.

MVPs/sketches/prototypes are valuable in software, in that they 'prove' something, or set a general outline for how the program will grow.

In architecture, vague plans are unhelpful, even misleading. What if you design, say, an indoor plan with inaccurate measurements and later find out that the bed is not going to fit in the bedroom? All your work is for naught, and your changes are going to affect everything else, as your bedroom displaces the kitchen, the moved kitchen shifts the bathroom, etc. In some ways, it's better to start with accurate plans and design while you're 'in deep', than to get a general vague sense. DFS than BFS, to use an analogy.

Or to use another example -- it's very important in software to know what platform your software will run on before you develop it. You wouldn't just make a vague program before knowing whether the software is a native iOS app, a web app, a unix background process, a distributed database, etc, etc, right?

Of course, there are sketchy versions that architects do all the time - program sketches, massing diagrams, et cetera. But anything that isn't completely abstract or pretty accurate will invariably be completely misunderstood by the client.

I've even been burned on a web design project this way - I thought color-coding the wireframes to indicate different functionality would be a helpful idea. Never again - I had to explain over and over that, no, their website would not be a sea of nested red, blue, and green lines.

Three dumb ideas I came up with that would make my life a lot easier
2 ideas for GPS (eg Google Maps), 1 idea for web browsers

I'd really appreciate it if you guys gave me some feedback on these ideas because I curious to see if I'm the only one who thinks they're good or if they're legitimately good ideas.

For GPS:

1. Allow users to control the speed that the GPS voice gives directions at. EX: Give directions X miles out from turn.

Sometimes the GPS will give directions to turn right, but I'm in the left lane and it's just too far away. I end up having to either make a U-turn or have the GPS recalculate my route.

Literally everyone I've mentioned this to thinks this is a great idea. I'm not too sure about the other two.

2. Also, let the user change the frequency that directions are given (EX: at least every X minutes.) This would be helpful on long stretches of highway when the GPS isn't saying anything anymore and you're not sure if you're going the right way anymore. (I mean, you probably are, but the fact that the GPS is no longer giving you directions is just a little bit anxiety-inducing sometimes.)

For web browsers:

3. Give users better control of deleting tabs. Right now on Chrome I have two options: close other tabs, or close tabs to the right. These are both pretty terrible in my opinion because if I want to save more than one tab it assumes that all the tabs I want to keep are grouped together. A better option would be to allow users to mark the tabs that they want to save so that when you say "close other tabs," it just closes the tabs that aren't marked. After closing the other tabs, the saved tabs automatically become unmarked.
You are parroting the same stuff Junta did at the time.
of course this article makes front page of hn, it's about containers!
"robotic" part seems to be pure clickbait. From robotic you would expect something that would act autonomously. This one doesn't even seem to be automatic - requiring one to push a button or use some app to control it at the distance.

Then again, that latter part looks scary - can somebody push the button in app to close the bed while you're sleeping? Hopefully there are some sensors to detect whether it's safe to perform the moving.

...in case there are such sensors, it might actually be properly robotic. Unfortunately no information about safety of this all is not given.

Absolutely not the case. If you're driving from A to B, you have to cover similar distance regardless of type of road. (Yeah not conpletely true.) It turns out that highways are both quicker and safer, but the two are not necessarily correlated.
I've been playing with wait-free algorithms some time ago but never got anywhere meaningful.

A wait-free queue for multiple consumers and multiple producers would be kind of the holy grail when it comes to wait free data structures. Is it MPMC though? I skipped through the PDF and could not find a definitive claim…

Also, big thumbs up to Chaoran for putting the implementation on GitHub: https://github.com/chaoran/fast-wait-free-queue

I get that money might not be the main concern here, but people could really negotiate a fee before disclosing the details. Lowballing this hard is mildly insulting imo.
