The cross-group results are close enough that you really need to use confidence intervals for the proportions, even with the large sample size. Especially because sentiment analysis does not perfectly classify positivity/negativity.

The coding term would be "FUD". I'm sure you've noticed the trend for older people in all cultures to believe every email that gets forwarded to them, and forward it on. In Chinese culture, a large chunk of that is FUD related to health stuff. Remember Chinese medicine goes back millennia, so there's a lot of confusion about what to believe among that generation too, so they feel like they better follow everything just to be safe.

To this issue specifically, I think it's more of a shelf-life concern, that you can't artificially lengthen the shelf life of a food without corrupting it somehow. In that regard, I can't say she doesn't have a point. That the movie "Better Life Through Chemistry" is a satire is somewhat telling.
Refrigeration (and later economical freezers) are the only reason stomach cancer is not the leading cause of cancer in humans. Pre-refrigeration, mostly everything was preserved by fermentation, and lots of people got stomach cancer [1], [2] (BTW, fermented foods are another area people are currently anti-science with respect to food) as a result. Food that is flash-frozen immediately after harvest (whatever that means for the food in question) is the most nutritious. If it is GMO food (likely to be either less expensive or more nutritious than the non-GMO equivalent, else why modify it?) cooked in a way that preserves the superior nutrition, even better!

As a consumer I want to the right to patronize companies that don't purchase seeds from these companies, however under the current state of things there's no way to distinguish which produce/companies these are.
Unbelievable. Why give players the ability to override arbitrary functions like that?
Hotel WiFi in fancy hotels has a much higher expectation of quality / service level than that in a small-ish motel or youth hostel. If the CEO of $BigCorp has to have a Skype call with the client, they won't want package drops and 10 minutes of 'Hello can you hear me'.

I am guessing the overall cost of running a reliable reasonably-high-speed WiFi in the whole hotel is much greater than just having a bunch of routers.

Of course, whether fancy hotels actually end up delivering said quality and service levels, I dunno.
This is really insanely awesome. I've been on keto for years and have always wanted a service like this. A "blueapron" type of service would've been perfect for me, but because they pick the meals, it would never work for keto.

You may be able to acknowledge just the difference, but I stick to what I said earlier: it's a slippery slope. And I'm not talking about dissimilarities in physical features like Irish vs Kenyan legs, but things like comparing intelligence in different races opens up Pandora's Box. Intelligence is not the only factor that makes up who we are, but it is easily and so often turned into a debate where it seems that it's the only thing that matters.

I grew up in Vancouver, went to high-school there, whet to UBC there. My family is in Vancouver. The majority of my friends are in Vancouver. I own real-estate in Vancouver. I eventually want to move back to Vancouver. I can safely say I love Vancouver. However, I currently live in Seattle.

> "it is hard to find software developers ... to work in ... Vancouver"

Plain and simply, even though software developers make some of the highest salaries in Vancouver, the salaries are relatively abysmal. It would be an effective 50% pay cut for me to move to Vancouver.

The housing crisis is a problem, but its not one that effects the lack of talent in Vancouver. Vancouver's almost only tech talent problem is the lack of competitive salaries.
As is the trend in 2016, the article serves as promotional content marketing for the startup OP works for, by using data that cannot be questioned.

> So will this bill reduce, increase or have no effect on the attacks? If not, then what would reduce the attacks and why are the authorities not doing it already? If it will reduce the attacks, how much does it have to reduce them before we accept the intrusion on privacy as a necessary evil?

France has the most draconian laws of any Western country atm and there is no evidence attacks in France have been reduced.

They currently hold the false belief that the reason attacks succeed is because they are handled primarily via encryption.

> The reports note that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the "mastermind" of both the Paris attacks and a thwarted Belgium attack ten months ago, failed to use any encryption whatsoever (read: existing capabilities stopped the Belgium attacks and could have stopped the Paris attacks, but didn't). That's of course not to say batshit religious cults like ISIS don't use encryption, and won't do so going forward. Everybody uses encryption. But the point remains that to use a tragedy to vilify encryption, push for surveillance expansion, and pass backdoor laws that will make everybody less safe -- is nearly as gruesome as the attacks themselves.

It was a non-trivial factor in my picking a Kia to lease.

I'm not a car person so I mostly can't tell the difference in power, nor do I need it, from other cars. I didn't care about reliability since it was a lease. But I did care that I had to use yet another shitty car-company interface, so having CarPlay support was a huge plus.

The car companies brought this on themselves by designing such bad software for their in-dash systems.

Those things don't mean that people didn't want or use coffee; in fact, it probably means the opposite, or they wouldn't have been a ban. And refrigeration wasn't held up because people didn't want it, it was because the technology wasn't very good.
Is this actually true? How many candidates have you failed for FizzBuzz specifically? Personally I've found it to be almost always passed. My previous company would ask for a simple implementation of pow() and strpos() and that had a decent filter rate.
Where are you getting your information? As far as I know, the EU has banned most antibiotics for livestock since 2006. I don't know about the UK.

A little bit of n=1: I eat eggs directly from the local Mennonite community. They don't use antibiotics in their chickens. I keep the eggs in a bucket in the pantry (cool, but not refrigerated). I wash my eggs before using them. I haven't had an issue with Salmonella yet. I imagine there's a very big difference between free range, naturally raised chickens and eggs and factory farmed chicken and eggs, but I'm not up to date on the details.
Here's what wild corn looks like:

http://voices.nationalgeographic.com/2009/03/23/corn_domesti...

The difference between teosinte and maize is about 5 genes. We've been genetically modifying corn for nearly 10,000 years, but we've just done so really inefficiently. If you want to eat raw, non-GMO corn, here's what's for dinner:

http://www.silae.it/files/imgs/maiz2.jpg

If you want to eat this, it took a few thousand years of hybridization, selective breeding, and culling:

http://pngimg.com/upload/corn_PNG5273.png

(Patents expire after 17 years, anyway; it's likely that 17 years after the first teosinte plants were cross-bred to make maize, the breeder had a complete monopoly on them anyway.)
I've seen you post before and I think you guys are doing really interesting work.

Yup it seems like currently recs are based on content filtering techniques, based on defined properties of each beer.

For most of the last 20 years, fatalities in terrorist attacks in (Western) Europe were in single figures. There were three exceptions - the Madrid trains in 2004, London bombings in 2005, and the Oslo shootings in 2011.

See http://www.economist.com/blogs/graphicdetail/2015/11/daily-c...

Last year, that increased to around 100, this time based on 2 attacks (both in Paris, France).

So far this year, there have been nearly 300 fatalities over 9 separate incidents:
http://www.latimes.com/world/europe/la-fg-europe-terror-2016...

Correction: there were around 170 fatalities in 2015, and there have been around 150 so far in 2016.
Hi! Glad you found the service useful. We now have a feature that lets you specify grocery store so that less exotic ingredients are shown if you live somewhere a bit more obscure (grew up in a small town myself, so I get it!) You can also print your shopping lists if you don't want to use the iOS or Android app. We have thousands of recipes in our database and constantly growing, so let me know if you ever want to come back and try it again for a few days.
I found this line interesting:

It's a bit silly but that's exactly the way I tend to approach such questions and my conclusions after musing on the subject for years is that we are hamstrung by the historical ordering of past breakthroughs. Further, it is very difficult to determine the extent to which our current ways of thinking are limiting us.
I work at Verizon Labs and don't see any of what you mentioned here. Verizon as it stands today though, is an amalgamation of many different companies and cultures. I do believe your experiences could absolutely be true in some of the business units.

Verizon Labs is however, Verizon's play for Silicon Valley talent and they seem very aware that you need a certain kind of culture, perks, amount of autonomy etc. to compete in that market. I'm quite enjoying my time here.
> Tomatoes have healthy compounds in them that break down under refrigeration.

Such as? It's true that refrigeration can impact the taste/texture of tomatoes. That doesn't mean it necessarily makes them less healthy. Also, if you're buying store-bought tomatoes, they're shipped in refrigerated trucks anyway.

Depending on how long you have tomatoes on hand, you might be better off refrigerating them even for taste and texture.

Isn't it an overreach to make absolute statements from sentiment analysis? There are some bold claims in this article that can only stand if the authors corrected for anchoring, confirmation bias, and herd behaviour.
My guess is they will rethink what a "car" fundamentally is all about. They'll create a vehicle that has new features that play to their strengths, even if the "car-ness" isn't a big improvement on existing models in the market.

Back when the iPhone first came out a lot of people dismissed it because it wasn't a very good phone - the audio quality and reception tended to be worse than a good Nokia. Who cares if it has all these extra whiz-bang features like a touch screen and a web browser if it's not a very good phone, the thinking went. A lot of people didn't appreciate that Apple was creating a communication and information retrieval device, and not just a traditional phone with some extra features.

I suspect Apple will create a car that provides a great experience for people getting from point A to point B. It will probably not be a great car to drive. But it will probably be an awesome car for passengers. My guess is that they are betting that there will be more passengers relative to drivers over the next decade or two, and that passengers will, in a perhaps indirect way, become a bigger force in car buying decisions than they have been in the past.

So, by the metrics traditionally used to compare cars it will probably be only an incremental improvement over existing models - or it might even be a step backwards. But by the metrics that we'll use to evaluate cars in ten or fifteen years it will be an amazing improvement.
Could you explain why you feel that it is better? What in particular does LEAN support that Zipline does not support?

Find something that is more suited to you, whether it is another job, or some entrepreneurial endeavor. For the longest time, I bought into climbing the corporate ladder. It was making me unhappy and very unhealthy, mentally and physically. Then I came to the realization that I don't want to be a manager or an executive or even a tech lead. I just want to be a peon coder. That is the sum total of my career ambitions. Once I realized this, I changed jobs to a company that doesn't try to push or promote me into tech lead/management; I am and remain a mere programmer by choice. And I have never been happier at a job.

Not saying your ambition should be to be a peon, like it turns out mine is, but you need to figure out what it is and do something that'll get you there.
Final Year Project Dilemma
I've been racking my brain for months trying to solidify an idea for my final year project, though can't seem to nail one that will be worthwhile in terms of how it will look on my resume and my grade.

I've looked at doing a project with open government data but the data tends to be past data which only covers a certain time period and I don't want my project to just regurgitate information in a different way. I've looked at maybe doing an AI project such as speech recognition or some Bot with Wit AI but this seems to have been done many times before. It seems every project I think about has been done, I'm dreading having to resort to doing a simple website. I would rather create a unique project or project that helps people in some way e.g. with mental health etc. Any ideas guys. I'm sick of flip flopping ideas, I need to start working on a project.
Congrats ms. Mayer. Please write a book on negotiating salaries/total compensation. Or let's do AMA here.
There was an article here years ago (that I'm too lazy to find via my phone) that claimed that many high end hotels got into deals with providers of paid hotel internet early on when offering wifi was unusual and more involved. At the time the service was cutting edge and pricing justified. Contacts were long running though and now hotels are stuck with it.

This was my experience as well. Doing "quant" trading on the side quickly becomes a second job, as you are always adjusting, training, simulating, and even just observing the models you're using.

It's not impossible to make money though. When it comes down to it, the trade-off for the hours you put in and the money you make only really pays off if you're trading with someone else's money, and lots of it.
People often forget that foreign realestate investment is often a way to offshore money to keep it away from _local_ (to the investor) governments. Keeping $2M away from the PRC is probably worth $300k if you fear it will be entirely taken away from you.

The main thing this accomplishes is:
1. It allows the current administration to claim they're doing something.
2. It gives funds to the current administration that can be used for things like politician pay raises, additional government worker benefits, and maybe, just maybe, some roads too.
Thank you so much for the love! :) :) We have a huge group of paleo and keto users and I personally think low carb is the best way to eat, so double high five!
>I don't think prices will go down as a result.

of course not. How would adding new tax may result in lower prices in under-supplied market? If a person buys something for 2.3M instead of 2M it is higher price for that person (it doesn't matter who those money were consumed by). That person to make profit will be using the 2.3M as base to make selling decision, calculate profit, etc. Thus it will drive prices up.

Only in oversupplied(buyer's) market such tax may have resulted in lower prices by deterring buyers and thus decreasing liquidity.

When I read these stories I always wonder how one goes over that wall from where people try to talk you down $10k suring salary negotiations to thinking they have to do everything possible to get you to work for them. Even at a lower level than Mayer, I keep reading stories of people, developers even, who get lured to a new position with a salary offer 5x average and yet I don't know any of these people personally. How does this happen?
But can something that everybody uses become a competitive advantage? Intuitively that doesn't seem true to me, although it would be an interesting dynamic if it was.

So it seems like you need a small collection of successful early adopters to prove its value instead as a middle ground for there to be any concentration of advantage at all.

I assume you're putting "competitive advantage" in reference to "gets me hired" instead of strictly "gets the job done well", in which case, yeah, someone hiring someone else for the way they get a job done rather than their ability to do so would probably get you stuck. You could fake your way in.

Otherwise you might be referring to "no one will get my code", which is also a legitimate concern.
In the UK chickens are vaccinated against salmonella. My understanding is that this is not legally mandated but a compromise by the egg industry to avoid regulation after some major salmonella outbreak a few decades ago.

Mandating antibiotic use would be a great way to breed resistant salmonella.

My question -- I don't know how representative my household is from others, but we've got a few different sets of dietary restrictions to consider.

Do you have any plans to offer a way to set up variations that allow for, say, gluten-free (non-vegetarian) dining for one member of the family, while the rest are vegetarian (no gluten restrictions)?

It's certainly more work on my end to buy, prep, and cook for, but it's work that I'm already doing and would love to benefit from the programmatic menu and shopping list that PlateJoy generates.
Tetrep, your comparison with vocal speech absolutely nails it. Just because the medium has changed, there is no justification for total surveillance. Few 50+ years old mainstream politicians see it that way.
