Biological chemistry is not technological chemistry, you aren't going to be mixing ash with vinegar, you aren't as likely to see fermentation, you are not likely to be able to smelt metal, cure leather and do many other things that advance your technological capabilities.
Writing which is a very important thing is also unlikely to develop underwater, you need writing to preserve the information between generations to enable technological progress.
Using chemical energy, and generating electricity is also more unlikely in an industrial setting under water.
As for the appendages, hands are not required, very nimble tentacles can work, claws and hooves won't, you need to be able to have fine motor skills to develop tools.
I didn't say a smart species can't develop under water, they can, but unless they are directly uplifted they would unlikely to develop into a technological society not to mention a high technological society with space travel capabilities.

I have the same concern about the advertising of pharmaceuticals, both directly to consumers and especially to providers.

What were the arguments used to regulate the display and advertising of tobacco? Those might be a model for the advertising of other potentially harmful substances. Certainly how beer is advertised is no model to follow.

I wish "Keuringsdienst van Waarde" would put its episodes online, with subtitles. They had one specifically about olive oil.

Here is a section where they speak English with Italian producers about the difference in Extra Vierge, Vierge, Pure and Lamp olive oil:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkO1dwx2_KA&t=10m

My favourite part is when they visit the Italian oil tasters, which test for Olive Oil fraud by tasting it:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkO1dwx2_KA&t=13m45s

Later on, they test oil they brought with them from the Netherlands, which is hilarous:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkO1dwx2_KA&t=16m

> (after one sniff) "This oil is very particular... It is Spanish Olive oil!"

> "But that's not a defect is it?"

> "Yes it is!"

> "Because it's Spanish? That's not a.."

> "YES! YES IT IS!"

TL;DW: Supposedly "Italian" brands with extra vierge olive oil is in reality run by a Spanish company who makes processed olive oil grown in Spain and Tunesia. Also, Italians being wondefully stereotypical food snobs.
If you like science fiction, I recommend reading The Algebraist by Iain M Banks - this mechanic features frequently in the story and is quite a core limitation in the galactic civilisation he describes, which results in some interesting outcomes.
> and then he mentions access to computers, the Internet, e-books, etc

From that, I inferred that "digital age" is being used to denote "Internet age".

It was a few years back, but I think (not entirely sure) the requirement time aligned with the time it took to hack bluetooth or something. I think there was a case about hacking car wheels that reported their tire pressure via bluetooth and that was used as a time to be better than. Perhaps this story [1]. I think they were using it to get people to pull over and hijack their vehicle.

But that could be wrong, I just remember there was some discussion about that around the time we were talking about the security requirements. That's the best I can do.

i would agree allergies are the biggest concern

But for anyone else..

i cook 95% of my meals, and evoo, extra virgin olive oil, is in all of them

i tried lots of different brands and styles and just sort organically went with the one with that left my body feeling and functioning in a way i preferred

anecdotally, i would say when i've cooked with other oils some had a sort of unsettlingly inert quality to them in regard to my body

i tried cooking with some nut oils for a while and they seemed to pass through my body unabsorbed

the same effect when i did try some other evoos

i thought little of it and was just happy with the brand i eventually settled on

when this study came out a while ago, i was surprised this shit is allowed, but unsurprised by the offending labels

my 'absorbtion theory' lacks any significant scientific rigor, but one annoying counterexample: the inconsistent evoo results; could be explained by the frustrating results of this investigation
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Paranoid_Style_in_American...

Here's the thing, when software goes into a car it will likely have to last 10 years until it's outside of manufacturers warranty (I think that's in the Ford spec). So sure, 128 bit encryption (not sure what protocol they use) is tough to crack today, but in the next 10 years when the car is still on the road, will it still be tough to crack?
In Greece many people do it this way. Usually the story goes like this, someone has inherited a field with olive trees from his parents and once every two years, between September to November depending on the variety, they spend 3-4 days harvesting it. Harvesting is quite a demanding job and it requires a lot of hands if you do it the traditional way where they try to shake the branches with wooden sticks and it’s the only way if you have a small production because using machines is too expensive. Then you take the olives to an oil mill and they poor it into big 17 liter tins. Oil production per tree varies from 3 up to 10 liters. The good thing about olive trees especially the wild varieties is that they don’t need a lot of care. If you start from scratch planting new trees it could take at least seven years till you get the first harvest.
>I typically buy a large 5-liter tin can of olio nuovo in the fall from a known producer and then freeze all but one liter of it in mason jars, unfreezing throughout the year as needed. It works really well.

As a heavy consumer of olive oil, in one of the countries who produces some of the very best (and having produced oil in my family, who owns olive trees), I can tell you that you don't have to freeze it at all.

In fact freezing it will damage it (kill several nutrients), and make the thawed oil very quick to spoil.

Keep it in the shade, preferably 60oF - 80oF but even 90oF is OK really, in a steel container, and you're done. It remains perfectly fine for 1-2 years or even more.
They've been downplayed over the last few years to mitigate the outright lies that have been told to teenagers in their schools.

You don't have to go that far - there are groves popping up in Napa and Livermore too. The local (Livermore in my case) olive oil I've had fresh off the presses here tastes amazing, it truly woke me up to the degree that we've been mislead.

It made me wonder just how many americans have ever actually tasted real olive oil - because once you have, the fake stuff is immediately obvious.
I may be younger than you have been renting out apartments for, but it seems to me that the first 3 cues in particular might not be that effective in discriminatory power?

1) I'm estimating memory lapse / brain fog etc in the general population is much more prevalent in non-pot-smokers for general reasons -- hell, depression affects something like 5-10% of Americans which iirc is many times over the fraction of people who would wake and bake prior their apt. showing. Yeah, memory problems are a strong signal when you know a specific person is blazed, but across the whole of the population this is going to be a filter with a really high false positive rate.

2) kinda seems like a proxy to their parents' wealth, maybe that matters to you but really should the equivalent of an SAT score really predict the ability for a tenant to keep to the contract?

3) there could be a couple of effects at play here. Kind of another proxy to parents' wealth. People might also put their guard up once they notice you sizing them up. But conveying professionalism as a game theoretic 'signaling' strategy - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspicuous_consumption

Cigarettes though? probably not a bad indicator. I think as a whole they probably do more damage to the building and other tenants, too.
I think the companies themselves do, but they do an extreme amount of outsourcing too. I'm speaking from experience obviously, maybe it's a bad example.

The most delicious olive oil I've ever had was at a random restaurant in San Diego. It had a very distinct "this came from olives" flavor, unlike all the bland stuff I'd had before, and tasted very fresh and clean. It was so good that we asked the waiter what it was. Unfortunately he didn't know the brand, but apparently it was made at a farm in Arizona. That was quite shocking. Arizona is a very hot, arid state, and yet somehow they make great olive oil. We've been on the hunt ever since and now, like you, tend to buy domestic.
I don't think we are getting anywhere. Look, can you point to any instance of machine vision being used to improve a language model of English? Especially any case where the language model took more computing power to train than the model aided with vision?

I don't think anything like that exists today, or ever will exist. And in fact you are making an even stronger claim than that. Not just that vision will be helpful, but absolutely necessary.
Or consider the case of a child or teenager being careless with the hinge on a laptop (I regret that I was in 1995, when it was uncommon for a 14-year-old to have a laptop). Wouldn't it be nice if just the housing could be replaced or repaired?
Whoa there yourself! I thought I made it clear that the bit about criminalization was just a "bad joke" (my words). I was just pointing out that if we're going to talk about the dangers of cannabis, we should not be comparing the dangers of cannabis against the dangers of abstaining from cannabis, but we should be comparing those dangers against other risks which we consider completely acceptable, like World of Warcraft.

These threads can easily get out of hand when people think that other people are misinterpreting other people, a kind of chain of misinterpretation.
The article explains in great length what the problem of iMessage is. It has no forward secrecy and uses no authenticated encryption. Signal does both.
The flaw Matthew Green's team found is precisely due to the fact that iMessage is not using authenticated encryption (as are tons of other crypto flaws). As said: They added some band aid, they have not fixed the problem.

I just said "nigger" technically, but as you well know, there's a difference between using the word in the first-degree and referring to the word to make a point about its semantics or cultural context. "Fuck you, nigger" is not the same as "The word 'nigger' has a lot of baggage", and that is still not the same as "that's my nigga over there". You know this, and I know that you know this.

Further, if you don't understand that "free speech" refers to governmental policy rather than social norms, and if you don't understand that free speech comes with limitations (shouting "fire" in a crowded place, blah blah blah), then there is no hope of a thoughtful discussion.

I really like this. My wife keeps a list of shows we've been to in a Google Sheet and I try to post a picture from each show on Facebook, so I think we would definitely use this. Right off the bat, I'd like to be able to add multiple shows for a single artist at the same time. I'd also like to add multiple artists for a single show. You might already have these things in your roadmap, but it's making data entry take longer than it should for me. I'll keep my eye on the site to see where it goes.

A question about Chiang Mai: I had read (while reading up on DN stories) that for a few months a year, Chiang Mai (and the area of Thailand in which it is) get a lot of smoke and haze from annual burning of brush / forest cover. So some expats/people leave there for that period. Is that right?

I also heard from a friend that the same is the case periodically in Singapore and parts of Malaysia. I think he said the smoke comes from either Malaysia or Indonesia.
Ask HN: Is it possible to run your own mail server for personal use?
Recently I decided that I wanted to run my own MTA. Downloaded qmail, applied a couple of patches and it was done. The problem is making sure my mail is not marked as spam by the major MTAs out there, gmail and hotmail both mark my mails as spam. So far I've:

- made sure I'm not running an open relay (obviously)

- made sure a reverse lookup to my IP matches my host

- made sure my IP wasn't already in any spam IP blacklist

- added SPF

- added DKIM

- run a lot of tests at glockapps.com

It's still not enough. I don't know what else to do, is it possible to run your own MTA, for personal use in 2016? Who, here, is doing it successfully?

Ditto, I have been buying this olive oil for the past 2 years. Its a beautiful olive oil and cooks amazingly well. It was such a relief finding this brand given the amount of choices there are for (bad) olive oil!
You are confusing free speech with the right to free speech. The latter, in the US, is a Constitutionally guaranteed right. The former is a description of your state of freedom, and the law saying you have the right to free speech does not necessarily mean that you actually have it. The government is not the only entity that has an effect on free speech.

Not all rights that you have on paper are enforced. A right to life is not the same as being alive. A right to free speech is not the same as actually having free speech. A society where saying unpopular things will get you attacked by a mob, instantly fired with loss of healthcare/housing, etc does not have free speech, even if the letter of the law says this right exists.

I've also had good experience with both. For me waterfall is perfectly fine if you don't have a hard deadline and agile is great for reducing risk (from what I've experienced).

I know agile and hardware doesn't go too well together and software of course is told by management to be more agile (because some manager heard it's great). The customer expects fixed incremental feature delivery (which they measure your performance on and scale your bonus with) and somehow as a software engineer you have to be agile in step with the waterfall process.

I think in general agile is better for software and waterfall is better for hardware - the problem is somehow they have to go together. It's not the best to say the least - often shipping with errors and bugs.
Vanilla's another one. I can't find a great reference right now, but usage of imitation vanilla far outstrips actual vanilla production, especially commercially.

>Demand of olive oil probably outstrips the capacity of the world to produce it.

Only if we assume price is fixed. Because by merely raising the price (which you can, when there's demand) you get to manipulate the capacity needed.

I live in Crete, Greece. Almost all families here own olive trees groves and produce oil - the island, and I guess this is true for most regions of Greece, is full of olive trees.
We consume a lot of oil - we use oil in everything, and it’s delicious - I personally have a hard time eating anything that doesn’t have olive oil in it.

I ‘ve tasted olive oil when I had the chance to travel to other countries, except it barely resembled the olive oil I know. It tasted bad, and it didn’t even look like the real thing. This could have only been fake or otherwise diluted olive oil. I doubt any kind of olive tree produces that kind of oil anyway.

By the way, I noticed from my time in some European cities, that olive oil is sold for a very high price. I understand that imported goods are expensive, but the prices I saw at super markets were just ridiculous ( and it’s possible even that was for ‘fake’ olive oil).
Pianoteq ? U-he ? Distrho? Harrison Consoles ? These are all proprietary plugins for Linux, all of them excellent.

PureData is a VERY VERY different program from Reaktor, capable of things not possible in Reaktor, but also with a totally different work flow and interaction model. There are many PD users who would absolutely disagree with your characterization.

My point was not to say "The plugin situation on Linux is totally comparable to the one of OS X or Windows", indeed far from it. But your post suggested that there's no signs of life at all there, and this just isn't true.

You also seem very focused on a style of music production that is really built around plugins. This is common today, but far from universal. I know many studio owners in the USA and Europe who use plugins very minimally, because they focus on recording performing musicians.

As I've said many times, if you have a workflow that is tightly bound with platform-specific plugins, you should stay on that platform. With this release of Ardour, people are now free to consider using Ardour on that platform. That is all.
hooray! you know what, i am so pleased that someone finally noticed. congratulations :)
