and this folks is why I have trust issues...

Scientists paid off by industry to make people look the other way, who then become head of some Governmental departments and agencies advising the world on whatever it was they were paid off for or have a conflict of interest in and the door keeps revolving...

It's a wonder we believe anything at all after the amount of lies and propaganda we're fed only to find out it's false... or are they lying now? Now we're being fed information that it's the sugar industry at fault and not the fat industry, while we have fad diets that are high fat, low carb, low sugar, because carbs and sugar are bad and fat isn't bad at all allegedly. Who is making the money from the increased fat sales and decreased sugar sales? Is it because sugar is cutting into their bottom line too much and fat is in cheap supply?

Why do we continue to believe the shit that pours out of the mouths of big agriculture and the nutrition agencies as if they haven't been feeding us bullshit for the past 50 years in aid of increasing profit. They don't give a shit about the consumer, they give a shit about whatever fuels the greatest growth in profits.

So this is why I have issue believing anything that any of them have to say about anything because it's all underhanded subterfuge and manipulation, with no end in sight.
Of course not.

Is sunlight bad because it can give you cancer?

Are apples bad because they contain cyanide in seeds you can accidentally consume?

Is red meat bad because it causes cancer?

Is alcohol bad because it causes cancer?

If you feel you're living a healthy lifestyle, you can easily check that by doing some medical tests. No diet related disease is going to invisibly attack you at a random moment in life.

Atherosclerosis is fairly visible. Diabetes too. With regular checks you can be sure you're fine.
"1 death is a tragedy, 1 million a statistic"...
Nuclear testing and flood relief are orthogonal issues. Particularly under a regime with limited consent from the governed.
Yes, but an airplane is fundamentally different. This is a VTVL system. Aside from an obvious size and complexity difference, the launching and landing parts are very similar in suborbital and orbital land (for the most liberal use of the words "very similar"). Hell, if you want to argue semantics, Falcon-9's Stage-1 never gets to orbital velocities. So it's really just that "turning around" part that is the major difference (obviously a massive part, and again, i'm not trying to imply that ANY of this is easy in any way!)

Nobody is saying that they will make a bigger New Shepard with no changes and call it a day. But the knowledge they are learning through the suborbital rockets is going to be useful going forward. And they have a lot of time to learn and experiment here, they are looking at a first launch in the next 4 years (no mention of landing), and they have been developing the engine for this new rocket for a few years already.
By real APIs I mean ones with sufficient durability and access to data to allow third parties to provide innovative products based on them.

The bundle download that Facebook offers (which I have used) doesn't meet those criteria, we can see this because no one has built a business off it.

At the moment Tinder is the only company I'm aware of that really does this, and it's not exactly a corner stone of democracy.

I've no idea why you've written the word compel in speech marks? If it is because you think it is unacceptable to ever compel a private corporation to anything, I'd point out that Facebook and all other corporations are already bound by all kinds of laws, many of which are very widely accepted. Especially relevant here are the laws (and social norms) TV and print organisations adhere to.
Blue Origin is supplying a rocket engine for Vulcan. ULA currently buys rocket engines from Aerojet Rocketdyne and the Russians for their existing Delta and Atlas rockets. You can argue all you like, but ULA is driving the bus, and Blue Origin's contribution and responsibility is limited. That's even more true now that Blue Origin has announced that they plan on competing with ULA.
> Not aiding them at least gives their people a chance to see what is really going on.

That sounds nice but is exactly the opposite of what would happen; they'd likely be told the world has abandoned them, they can only rely on themselves, that sort of nationalist shout that would ultimately shift more power to Pyongyang. That's their game, and you'd be playing right into it.

Not helping them would likely backfire and increase anti-w{orld,est} sentiment that many North Koreans already carry -- taught and nurtured by leadership -- and make the people more supportive of the regime.
> be fairly sceptical of 'advice' coming out of large governing bodies and instead just be sensible.

I agree with the latter part, but what's wrong with health institutions recommendations? they look pretty sensible to me. I'm much more skeptical of advice from 'health gurus' that seem to have increasing influence.
Show HN: Moment – All the information you need. No distracting screens
Not sure how the 'flag' system works but based on the two examples (famous news photo and famous work of art), you could easily circumvent wrong flagging (wrong = deleting famous and important photos) by generating a 'similar photo search' in the system and giving context. That would help the over-ambitious flagger to recognize this.
The url might be very similar, but the way it is used - what methods you call on it and with what content, is completely different.
That's some serious security control you imagine there...
Startup Culture Podcast – Ep 3: Danielle Morrill on Shaping Mattermark's Culture
It's an interesting comparison between Uber and Google. Both of them are L4 or bust, but while Google is developing in an ivory tower, Uber is directly in the fray.

This means that Uber can implement 'mostly there' driveless vehicles in a patchwork fashion before everything is perfect.

If Ubers engineers can master a circuit for driverless cars that runs from, say, the airport to downtown and back, but only when the weather is good and traffic is light, they can do it because they've got the human drivers available to pick up any slack in the service.

With Google, if they're only taking passengers partway to their destination or if the system is down 20% of the time, it's just going to piss people off.
Not even, the number is ~7,000, but the article is using inflation adjusted dollars to make the number sound bigger.

It is also unclear whether they got that amount each, or in total.
> there's quite a lot of hypocrisy wrapped up in thinking that killing something is ok if it didn't suffer.

I believe this to be your central point? It seems we will have to agree to disagree.
You forgot your sarcasm tag, most people will miss it ;)

> it is not hard to figure out that something that is 4700% your daily limit for carbs is not something you should be eating.

You are probably getting more sugar from things you don't think should be full of sugar than you think. US tastes have skewed to sweet so far that sugar is stuffed in everything.
If you are fighting for your rights on Facebook, you are going to be disappointed and you are very, painfully niave about how walled gardens operate.
This is like when teachers are getting screwed and can't go on strike. In the teacher's case, if they go on strike it hurts the students the most, wheres the administration just has to deal with a small backlash.

In this case if we deny them help, we hurt the people of the DPRK, not really the administration.

So the global community are the teachers, who want to help the people of the DPRK, are angry at the administration, and can't do anything but keep helping.
Ha! After they lost all the heads of their previous electrical team to China because the company didn't follow their initial EV plans, they are turning now 180. The electric Mini is back. The Handelsblatt failed to mention any of these internal conflicts.

But the question is: Will the old team come back? What about their much better plans they initially had? In-wheel motors?
The i8 is already much better than the Tesla S, but had no chance against it.
The i3 is arguably better than the new Tesla 3.
My $0.02/anecdote:

Before I became a software engineer, I was a math supplementary instructor at a community college in my hometown. I love teaching, talking about and thinking about math.

Some of my favorite students were the older students that already had preconceived notions about their abilities with math, what things meant or how things fit together.

I discovered those things they brought with them were great vehicles for bending my explanations in such a way that they could understand them.

Eventually this occurred often enough you work a lot of that into how you talk about the subject, and I feel this made me a better/more effective teacher, more often, than I had been before.

Onto the subject, in my new job, one of the other engineers I work closely with is what I would consider non-trivially younger than me. (I'm in my late 20s)

It set me back a smidge to learn that when I did. But in the time I've been here, and that isn't very long, I've learned an incredible amount from him.

I found and this article only confirms that closing yourself off from even a little only hurts the self and is very narrow minded.

Good stuff can come from anywhere.
It's the only VIM emulation mode I've used that isn't completely annoying. I'm including spacemacs in that assessment.
For those who like videos(unlike me) and Java (like me), this was a topic for one of the talks at JavaZone in Oslo last week and I watched that one on my way home today: https://vimeo.com/181925279

(Oh, BTW, JavaZone 2016 was Oracle-free and all talks seems to have been uploaded to vimeo with no restrictions on downloading.)
> Neovim was largely responsible for pushing vim

Did Bram Moolenaar tell you that? Otherwise, none of us know what motivated him.

Neovim fans seem to hijack Vim discussions frequently. Sometimes people want to talk about Vim.
That’s also wrong, VW had projects cooperating with Sony on the same scale Google is doing with Toyota right now already in 2008.
I also get headaches, fever and joint pain from taking in any sugar. It would be so nice to find cereals where I can add sweetener as needed. In theory they should be cheaper since they don't have to add sugar but in reality they don't even exist.
The point isn't that it's hard to figure out. It's that it's harder than everything else that might cause health issues. They deliberately hid things that might look bad to line their own pockets.

How many people know how many carbs are recommended daily? How many know how much sodium is recommended daily? Which of those 2 can you look at a package and be reasonably informed about with no other information?

It's apparently a trick question, as the new labeling is at least partially addressing this.

Sugar still remains with no % DV listed, but at least the 'added sugars' has something now.
> No middle school kid is going to get into an R rated movie if they are dropped off and not escorted by and adult.

IME, insofar as that is enforced at multiplexes, its enforced mostly at ticket sales and at multiplex entrances, not entrances to individual screening rooms with the complex; tickets are usually not verified at entrances to individual screening rooms except for special circumstances, e.g., opening weekend for major blockbusters -- which only occasionally even overlap with R-rated films.

So, its not at all impossible for a middle school kid to get into an R-rated movie without escort by theater hopping.
Ask HN: How to you browse, store, sync, and backup your family photos?
Since Google is no longer supporting the Picasa desktop application, I'm looking for a replacement solution and thought I'd ask what other people do for browsing, storage, sync, and backup.

My previous setup was to import and browse using Picasa. And then backup and sync those photos across devices using Dropbox. Because I organized with a folder-structure, the Dropbox app was good enough for mobile photo-browsing. I feel somewhat old school in that I like having local copies of my photos so cloud-only solutions like Google Photos aren't quite what I'm looking for.

Anyway, what do you all do for your all-around photo needs?
Is there a "fat industry"? Sugar production is very industrialized, just a few companies with a strong lobby.

Fat is much more diverse. Sure, there are a few giant soybean oil producers, but it's not their only product, and individual companies don't dominate their market.
Sugar is poison. Search YouTube for Lustig lecture video.
Very nice work, this will be useful in my day to day browsing for sure!
Why can't we treat this like a hostage situation? Tell NK we will provide X amount of aid if they will release Y number of citizens of their choosing. That way we lighten suffering on the country as a whole but also end suffering for some of its citizens.
Ah, I never bought anything duty free, but I've seen them set aside at the gates. Guess I assumed it was to be picked up at arrival. Thanks for the info.
I was puzzled by that sentence too, but I figured it could be interpreted as "going in the same direction, for a different reason".
I had to give up on my LaserJet IIIP a while ago. I spent nearly as much on trying to recondition all the dried out rubber parts as I did on a cheap laser printer.
As indicated in the article, journals at the time often didn't require scientists to disclose their sources of funding, whereas they're now extremely strict about full financial disclosure. You can still get published in a prominent journal with a tricky source of funding, but it will be a matter of public record, and your results will (in theory) be more heavily scrutinized.

Pretty offput by this company tbh.
This is a country that operates death camps for minor crime. The chances of a revolution led by the civilian populace is nil thanks to decades of fear and brainwashing.

It needs to have the support of the military.
This capability comes with or without nuclear weapons as well, since Seoul is located well within artillery range of the north.
Sugar isn't useless. It gives you energy to function.

If one overconsumes and allows for that useless sugar to circulate, or useless cholesterol, or useless anything from overconsumption, a plethora of interesting metabolic things happen in the body and some of them cause disease.

This is a very nice skeptical stance on how to observe food in this age of non-personalized medicine and nutrition:

It's actually is one of the rare instances I've seen "do a 360" used appropriately. Facebook revamped their policy around the issue while ending up at exactly the same place: you have to use your real name.
An end to mining, so, a return to hunter-gatherer culture? What do you plan to do with the billions of surplus people?
You can count flurochemicals as one. Ubiquitous in the water supply. No good way for water treatment nor the human body to remove them. Proven harm. Not much discussion today.

Also re toothpaste additive: Colgate Total still uses triclosan, which has been removed from pretty much every other product already and declared harmful by the FDA.
Are you sure the assessment web programming being a series of hacks on hacks isn't an artifact of inheriting a fairly long-lived and large code base?

I don't think I've touched a large codebase that has been around for a long time which didn't feel hackish.

I'd make the evaluation of web programming based on a language and framework that feels most proper to you, and based on the use of it with a brand new app.
You may want to sit down and look at the thickness of your typical hydraulic hose. They seriously do not take curves well.

I agree. It's a shitty situation either way. But really, to give them even MORE food that we already do, would be enabling abusers. They get fed if they play ball. (Problems with the continent aside) Look at how much we break our backs to feed Africa. We do it because it's the right thing to do.

At a certain point though, the politicians have to be held responsible to the people. And people are never more hungry for change, than when they are hungry for food.
While I appreciate the cautionary anticipatory ethos, I wonder if we can actually predict the future.
Thanks, Kelsey!

Riemann Hypothesis
It's not "sad." If you place a very high value on transparency, you may wish to see a different model. But the current model isn't unreasonable. The standards incorporated into codes are industry consensus standards developed by non-profit expert organizations. It's reasonable for governments to rely on them. And under the current model, it's the entities (builders) that directly profit from construction that pay for the development of building codes.

It's a very different situation form the public availability of laws and judicial opinions generally, which are within the core expertise of public bodies and are entirely publicly funded to begin with.
Eh? I wasn't let into R rated movies unaccompanied in high school. Most of the time when we snuck in after buying a ticket to another movie we were caught. They'll come around asking for your tickets during the film if they suspect you are underage or didn't pay or whatever.
Did not know that! I guess growing at home is the only way to be really sure what we're eating.
The fundamental problem with NK is that it successfully sustains the fiction that the U.S. is going to attack "real soon now". That widespread (in NK) belief combined with nukes is a very dangerous combination. We can't do much about the nukes, but this humanitarian crisis provides an opportunity to move the needle on the Dangerous Fiction: make a public offer to provide humanitarian aid in exchange for a public acknowledgement that the aid is coming from the U.S. This acknowledgement would have to be broadcast on NK television so we can know that the NK people will see it.

Yes, it is unlikely that KJU would accept this. The goal here is not to actually extract the concession, but rather to sow seeds of doubt in the Dangerous Fiction in the minds of the NK elites by setting up a situation where the only reason that people are starving is KJU's refusal to acknowledge a simple truth: the U.S. is providing food.
They're not entirely bad though, like candy for instance, though perhaps they should be treated like candy. There appears to be some evidence that fibre suppresses the insulin response required to turn sugar to fat.
Diesel /is/ greener when you consider only CO2 emissions and energy efficiency, although turbocharged direct injection engines narrow that gap significantly. If this were the '70s though, I'd much rather have a fleet of diesel cars running around than ones with cabureted gasoline engines.
I don't know enough about them to say for sure, but they do sound like a good solution. Haven't they been just over the horizon for a number of years now?
Err, what? No, I want advanced carbon-based technologies. You know, what trees do - make things out of carbon, nitrogen, etc., and fucking amazing biochemistry.
Most car companies (and Google/Apple) is testing it in controlled environment or with professional drivers behind the wheel.

Tesla on regular highways with sleepy consumers behind the wheel.
I imagine people also get insensitivized to such labels. It can be quite hard to comprehend that a big soda can contain more than a meals worth of energy, especially given how you can drink one with lunch and still be hungry at dinner.
Nobody wants local copies anymore, Google Photos is the solution really.

But if you want there's also OneDrive, Dropbox and the likes that keeps a copy in your HD if you want.

I don't have the dotfile up anywhere, but I can run you through the basics really quickly:

* SPC-l gives you the layouts micro-state, which allows you to do all of this. First, set up your layout however you'd like, then open up the micro-state and run the save-as command (SPC-l-S) and that will allow you to save the layout to a layouts file somewhere deep in the bowels of Spacemacs.

* When you're ready to use your layout, use SPC-l-L to load the layout from a file. Type its name (Helm is used, so you get narrowing/fuzzy-find for free) and the layout will load. Note that if you already had another layout loaded, it will load it to the next workspace (accessible through SPC-l-<workspace-number>).

* As for the org Kanban board, check here: http://www.draketo.de/light/english/free-software/el-kanban-... To add this to spacemacs, just open your .spacemacs file (SPC-f-e-d) and add `kanban` to your `dotspacemacs-additional-packages` list.

Even in the UK, when I stopped eating candy for a while, it turned out that I found a lot of "ready-to-eat" food overly sugary.
Yes, it should have been a noun, because a URL is a Uniform Resource Locator, and a verb is not a resource. HTTP methods are for verbs. Sometimes this can lead to strange URLs, but applying the noun/verb rule consistently does simplify things.

One thing that helps is not nesting resources too deep, to avoid having really long URLS.
Whatever you use, I strongly recommend backing up to more than one cloud and also having a local copy of file history (Time Machine on OS X, FileHistory on Windows).

For the second cloud, you might want to look into BackBlaze.
Then you get into a game of escalation where you pay more and more for fewer and fewer people. That's not good either.
I'm a diabetic and I eat 70% of calories in carbs. I make sure they are all low GI.

My statement was mostly about average people, not sick people. I'm fairly sure diseased individuals are an exception and have to make sure to put their disease in remission (or to meet their genetic predispositions) with proper diet plans.
I think it's more likely that the behavioral patterns created by our constant engagement to mobile devices will carry more adverse effects to our mental and physical health than any mobile device radiation.
While not in the same realm, Blue Origin is hoping to start making some money via "space tourism" very soon.

They also make money via manufacturing for other companies. IIRC the engine for New Glenn is going to be used in an upcoming ULA rocket.

It's very early for them, and it's clear that SpaceX has a good decade or so on them, but it's exciting to have the possibility of real competition in this area again.
Also, fully decode the input string before doing this processing to make sure you really find all those sequences. A simple, seemingly obvious step that a surprising amount of software neglects to do.
This idea does not preclude the use of a mobile app. The mobile app will simply act as a IMAP and XMPP client on the network side, and look like a Facebook/Google+/MySpace app on the user side.
