I chose that source because a) I'm British and b) the NHS has a vested interest in reducing its drug bill and antibiotic usage as far as possible. So if there were a strong correlation between diet and acne and GPs could reduce treatment by suggesting dietary changes - they would.

If you look at the article you linked the most substantial source is a study of 23 Australian men, which showed interesting, but not conclusive results. So at best the jury is out.

Note that these were low GI diets, so we are not just talking about sugar, but simple starches found in potatoes, white bread, rice etc.

> but if you really think that the building blocks (ie. food) of our body doesn't have an effect on our largest organ then you are being willfully ignorant.

Intuitively, of course this feels right. In practice, I'll wait to see the actual studies, rather than the anecdotage.

And I'm not comfortable calling the majority of dermatologists, the NHS etc "willfully ignorant "

The fact that your sister in law has moved has undoubtedly introduced a variety of life-style and dietary changes. That you've picked sugary drinks as the most important factor isn't really compelling evidence.
No it won't, but they're definitely gonna reuse the tech they're developing to land the S1 on Earth to land the MCT on Mars

From what I've seen, letting cows die or mistreating them is a much worse problem in small agribusiness.

This of course depends on local regulation and legislation. But at least over here (northern EU), the bureaucracy is heavy and requirements quite strong.

Large-scale farming units have internal processes and they have more resources; there are many people doing the work with more thorough official oversight. Small-scale animal care, i.e. family or single-person farms, may be dependent on one person only. When illness - particularly mental illness - or old age kicks in, the animals may be neglected or mistreated in abhorrent ways.

On the other hand, small-scale agribusiness is also where the best animal care can be seen, there is actually an emotional bond between the carer and the animals.

Bad care is eventually caught because when you can't treat your animals well, you won't do your paperwork either. However, it is a strain on small farms as there is a fixed overhead in paperwork that is not much dependent on farm size, so there's a lot more to do per animal on small farms and thus there is more work/cost.

It's not really a subsidy though, it's just a complication of the payment.

It could be a subsidy if it wasn't an established custom to tip, but people know quite well that they are paying the server a tip for the service.

I suppose the fact that it enables the restaurant to under-report wages and thus under-pay wage taxes is a bit of a subsidy (but then some of that savings probably shows up for the customer).
For sure, I wasn't trying to suggest you were. I guess the point I was trying to make without actually saying any of these words is that it's really interesting that the same ecosystem with a few extra things had that effect.

I haven't had a chance to read and digest this through completely yet, so maybe it's in there, but how do you solve the problem of gaining adoption? The real estate industry is a complex web of stakeholders with vested interests in maintaining the status quo. Do you envision enlisting property owners as the driving force of adoption? Even there, there are likely to be some issues. Many property lines aren't clearly defined, and may require a survey to determine the geographical coordinates which define a property. This cost would likely fall on the property owner, but may be a point of dispute when the records are being recorded into what's declared as the official record.

Good stuff thus far. I look forward to reading the rest.

Economics 101: increased risk = increased reward
I feel bad to say this, but the practical world has burned me so many times that I simply can't trust anything said after a comment delimiter. If it's not in the code, it doesn't have any impact on what the code is actually doing, making it redundant at best, and misleading at worst.

For that reason, I find myself constantly reverse engineering code. If I am tracking down a bug and run across a bit of obfuscated code which has the comment "optimized hotspot sorting", I'm going to assume that it's wrong. I'm going to take the time to reverse engineer that obfuscated code, to make sure that the code is actually sorting, that it it an actual hotspot, and that it's not the cause of the bug I'm chasing down.

I guess I use it as a negative signal: "the comment says the code does X, I need to verify that it actually does X, correctly". "Optimized" code blocks and comments taken as the truth have pointed me at more bad code than good code.
Alcohol is not physically addictive in the same way opiates or cocaine is addictive. It's silly to be scared of becoming "addicted" to alcohol.

Pretty much the same for me. At an early job I had at a very large software company (that did banking and hospital software), I was given developer access to a very old intranet application that they had (with the idea that I would tweak it if the need arose). All credentials were stored unencrypted in an Access database, and a little random testing showed that most people used the same password for the intranet as for their main computer account.

I've given up trying to change the culture at these places, and just make sure that I'm not part of the problem, and that my objection has been noted (for "I told you so" purposes, later on).

OneLogin breached, customers’ Secure Notes compromised
I see you're on your way down from the Western Sahara into Mauretania. I was there in 2006 and the border is fascinating: it's a no mans land stretching for several kilometres, basically a minefield, with tons of burnt down car wrecks left and right, and many small potholed roads leading in all directions. Also there are some weird dudes driving around, trying to lure you in other directions than you were driving. We didn't have navigation systems back then, just paper maps, so it was an adventure.

You will probably encounter much more police checks in Mauretania and beyond than in Morocco.

At some border crossings, you can negotiate a visum on the spot. I had a 'visum' written with ballpoint in my passport. No stamps or official stickers, just a signature :)

> One idea I've had, but never got around to is a OpenID/OAuth service that could authenticate users via the AD.

I've just implemented auth0 on a website that I run, solely because one of my sites/customers wanted to have the service I provide be available via single sign-on to their staff and their customers.

They store all of their staff in Active Directory, and their users in an SAP store.

auth0 gives me a simple OAuth API, and I just point to my customers' configured auth0 client, and they can configure their auth0 account to use Active Directory and SAP.

I actually liked the integration, wasn't hard to achieve and solved a hard problem.

Given that auth0 is free for up to 7k users signing in within a month, I may make this available to other customers.

In general, I guess I'm confused why someone wanting a ticket to an event wouldn't at least check to see whether it was available and for how much on the venue/organization's own site. It would certainly be the first place I'd look for tickets.

Sure, if there's nothing available or available seats aren't great, I might suck it up and go to a ticket broker if I really wanted to see something. But my assumption going in would be that I should expect to pay a big premium.

Maybe there are people out there who aren't price sensitive and default to making ticket purchases through StubHub or whatever, but I have trouble believing it's the norm.

I'd just add that although I don't really think dynamic pricing is a good idea here, presumably the San Francisco Opera, like many such organizations, does price discriminate is various ways: VIP seating, student tickets, more expensive weekend tickets, etc.
Tim Cook and Apple's Gross Hypocrisy on Taxes
I simulated mycelial growth using a modified RRT for my Masters. The algorithm has some very powerful properties. It is probabilistically complete over any number of dimensions. It is biased to explore unexplored regions first. It allieviates the "curse of dimensionality" by not needing to map out the configuration space or collision zones explicitly. And it makes shapes that echo mycelium, neurons, and galaxies.
I think that's a little different. Reading code almost never involves analyzing it to that degree. Usually you're just trying to figure out what part is broken or where you need to add some new functionality.
I was talking to my friend yesterday, she works for AT&T. She described being overworked, and, while she was paid well compared to other PMs, she considered the idea of taking a pay cut in exchange for a better managed workload.

The problem was that her reports were all leaving her project or leaving the company. The company was responding to the staffing difficulty with outsourcing, moving her entire project to Israel. Directors were squabbling over the most capable employees and twice she was approached about switching departments.

She has a friend who nominally is an architect, but is instead doing the work of a frontline dev. He's about to jump. Recruiters have made the job market liquid enough that businesses can't meet their objectives with the coders they hired.

In some sectors, coders right out of school can command six-figure salaries, and they're only going higher. In the larger job markets, firms are moving en-masse to consulting companies to meet business needs. The developers are following suit. 5 months ago, I worked at a marketing company as an in-house dev. I now work for a consulting company, my old company hired a consulting company to do my old job. I am somebody whose natural tendency is towards loyalty. I want to find a nice position at a nice company and just stay there for years. The current job market makes that impossible. The siren's song of getting a 30% pay bump every year, sometimes twice in the same year, is impossible to resist.

Make no mistake about it, the US needs more developers. Immigration is an excellent solution to the problem. Protectionism is only going to make it worse. If businesses can't meet their objectives, then end result is going to be a recession. No one comes out better in one of those.

> The reason for their opposition is twofold; e-cigarettes appear to act as a gateway drug for people who don't smoke; teenagers in particular. colourful packaging, synthetic fruity flavours; the e-cigarette industry is well aware of this particular demographic.

But why would they care if people take it up, if it's not particularly harmful?

> While certainly not as bad as second-hand smoke …

Since so-called 'second-hand smoke' is essentially harmless (it's less bad than wood smoke!), that means that they are safe enough.

'Second-hand smoke' is junk science propagated purely to advance bigotry.

> In many parts of the world smoking is no longer accepted inside public buildings and the work place; a huge victory for public health!

And, of course, a huge loss for freedom. It's no-one's business but mine if I choose to permit smoking in my spaces: the public are free to avoid them.

There are plenty of drugs other than alcohol that can safely be taken regularly. Legality and safety aren't correlated at all, at least in the US.

Well, they're landing a really light shell with a really powerful engine for now, on Earth.

Mars is gonna be a different story, considering the Red Dragon mission in 2018 (with already existing infrastructure, since the Red Dragon will basically be a Dragon 2 capsule and the S1 for the mission will be a Falcon Heavy) is gonna have the heaviest payload ever landed on mars with a semi-empty Dragon 2, and all the missions after that will probably try to land at least one MCT, which would be heavier of a Dragon 2 by itself, with some cargo...

Luckily the MCT will have an even more powerful engine, and Mars's lighter gravity will probably help!

No, but the cool thing is, SpaceX is using their first stage landings to do research that will advance their goals on Mars.

In order to land large payloads on Mars, SpaceX is going to have to do something that, up until recently, has never been done before. They're going to have to fire a rocket engine 'backwards' in an atmosphere (albeit a thin one) while travelling at supersonic speeds. This will be necessary in order to slow down enough to actually land (parachutes don't buy you much on Mars).

This 'supersonic retropropulsion' is something that has been modeled a lot, but is really hard to actually test. You would need to get a rocket up to supersonic speeds, in the thin upper stages of Earth's atmosphere (where the conditions are close to that of Mars) and have it fire its engines backwards. As luck would have it, that's exactly what the Falcon 9 first stage does during its reentry burn. The data they are collecting now will be invaluable in designing their Mars bound spacecraft.

NASA is also very interested in this data: https://www.nasa.gov/press/2014/october/new-commercial-rocke...
Over the past ten years, I've seen a mix of LDAP, oAuth, passwords/SSH keys provisioned via orchestration tools, handing everything over to Google/Okta, and a binder full of root passwords and revocation keys.

Anything that makes it easy to go to one place, change a file, deploy, and someone is created or erased. I used to love 2FA, but the cost for misplacing your token for a day is too high.

Offshoring is currently way cheaper than bringing people onsite, so as it stands now anything that can be offshored is being offshored. If work is being done in America either by a citizen or by a foreign worker it's because the company hasn't figured out how to offshore the work.

Actually from what I've seen a lot of the bodyshops use H1B to facilitate outsourcing. They bring in smaller numbers of people on H1Bs to act as go-betweens for the much larger team offshore.

Sure, and the decent thing to do is not to do it.

The law shouldn't care about that, and it should care about smoking or vaping.
