I have a close friend who had the same recommendation from his doctor, i.e. to go vegan. His genetics were predisposed for food-driven health issues related to cholesterol as he aged, and his blood test continued to come back with bafflingly concerning results. Since going vegan, his blood work has been stellar. It drives his family nuts sometimes, but the results are hard to argue and they've learned to "deal". Everyone is different, but in his anecdotal case his doctor's recommendation to go this route seems to have helped him quite a bit. It's worth noting that he's in his mid-forties, very fit looking and quite active, and was prior to his doctor's advice about permanently changing his diet, too.
That may well be the only 'active' ingredient in some toothpastes, since the rest is mostly just a scrubbing aid.
Ireland set the tax rate that Apple complied with. Ireland is accused of providing a state funding to Apple by setting that low rate.

Actually Ethernet Port is not needed. I have a MacBook Pro 11,3 and it hasn't one. I can live with that. At my company it's stick into a Thunderbolt Docking Station with Ethernet. And at Home I probably don't need it.

Right, the Auto-GCAS feature doesn't rely on radar -- but the normal TFR system does, so the OP was half-correct in that there is a system that can use the radar to do ground collision avoidance... just not this particular system.
To me it just sounds like he needs more friends to fill the gaps. Why can't he bring a friend to the zoo? Why does it have to be a girlfriend? I've had long stretches of my life where I was single but I was rarely ever lonely. I was aside from some rare moment rather well surrounded.

Hiring a hacker My experience
My job that I needed done: Someone had set up a fake profile of me and was posting negative comments on company websites they were even using my photo. Nightmare. After a year of this thing turning up and disappearing again...and yes I was reporting it and it wasn't getting deleted. Desperation kicked in. I came across that PBS report. Came across the website Hacker review next Hired both companies because of the 5 star reviews . Neighbourhood hacker was calming(because hiring someone to hack into anything can make your blood pressure go up.)
Very nice people very professional. Gave a good timeline what they were and weren't willing to do. 7 days and they couldn't get in. Second company Hackers list....a little bit wilder set up than neighbourhood hacker. And they said it would take 4 hours granted it took a lot longer than that but they got in. Fake profile is gone and I feel a lot better. I was terrified of being blackmailed but no one I came into contact with on either site even hinted at it. The hacker I hired on hackers list was Benji Blake cyberconsultant47@yahoo.com +1-646-389-4170 text first then call I told him I was going to give him a review please verify it for yourself. I'm giving him this review as a thank you and as a general thank you to both Hackers list (which is having a little rest atm) and Neighbourhood Hacker.

... Shitty dither. That didn't take long. Even in Bubsy, the things that weren't dithered weren't nearly as bad as the ones that were.

It has other problems, too, but they would become more apparent if the artist had refused to dither. Then they'd be a lot easier to talk about, such as the horrible shapes for everything except bubsy himself.

The problem with that background in bubsy wasn't the "pixel art", it was the art. I'm betting that artist couldn't draw well in any medium.
I think there's also something patronizing in promoting the inflictment of violence on beings to make geniuses out of them. Would the promoter like the same treatment?

Kind of like the human who makes the rat park and complains the rats are not happy?

Perhaps we will be happy in environments we choose to make for ourselves, not some that others have arbitrarily decided we should be happy in. I would say there's something inherently corrupt in an environment you do not control.
Head to the CA healthcare marketplace site, go through the enrollment form. List your income as what it is ($0?) right now. It will tell you what you qualify for. In NY, I got a better plan than when I was employed and it's free, with no copays or deductibles either.

Everything goes through the healthcare exchanges now. Just go through that process.

If you're both young and healthy, don't have spouses and/or children, I would recommend just getting a catastrophic plan for now.
The Cost of a Successful Creative Commons and Open Source Software Movement
I think this is simply what happens when you mix art and creating a commodity. It's Britney Spears vs (your favorite artist). They are both art of course but one targets a much larger demographic then the other. Seems like our author realizes he has more passion for creating a popular and understandable game then he does for art.

The "Bay Area scene" is also pretty bad at figuring out that a lot of their problems only exist in the Bay Area. Although they're doing a heck of a job importing their horrible toxic culture up here to Seattle.
at my last job we did a gradual migration from Angular 1 to React. Its similar to the path to Angular 2 really. React and Angular can live side by side... All we did was build an Angular directive that can render a react component in a subtree (that's easy), and a React component that could render an Angular directive (that's a little harder, but not that bad).

With that, we could put a React component anywhere in our Angular app, and reuse Angular directives inside of React until we got around to rewriting them.

That ended up quite smooth.
Most business in the United States is not driven by Silicon Valley startups.
In my (uneducated) opinion, the specific problem is that the people, through their governments, lose control over these large, global entities that affect their daily lives.
When they get this big, there's no way to tax them and no way to punish them for wrongdoing - they could just move to a friendlier country, use loopholes, etc. Of course, thanks to various trade agreements, they will still have access to our markets...

And the consumer can't always go elsewhere - there may be no viable competition, or that competition gets bought by the larger company for what is essentially pocket change.

Too big to fail = too big to control
Most of the adolescent mice retreated even further from societal expectations, spending all their time eating, drinking, sleeping and grooming, and refusing to fight or to even attempt to mate.

Every time I read about these experiments, this is the stirring part. Individuals that appear to be the most fit just fail to mate for no apparent reason, yet they live as if they were always preparing for it.
> Not a problem for the analysis of law firms. Sierra Club is a less effective law firm than the big New York firm.

Why is this not a problem? The parent comment was saying that the Sierra Club takes harder cases and is often the plaintiff, not the defendant, so they may be more effective as a law firm but have worse numbers because the win/loss numbers don't mean the same things in different contexts.
I go back and forth on the singly-called function as a code smell. It really depends. What annoys me are the private method refactors that then can't be unit tested unless the 'private' keyword is removed.

For an instance of how it depends, see the classic Forth example for implementing a washing machine driver:

...
: RINSE FAUCETS OPEN TILL-FULL FAUCETS CLOSE ;
...
: WASHER WASH SPIN RINSE SPIN ;

Then a single call to WASHER is all that happens when the user presses the start button.

Function calls should make things clearer, not less clear because of some other principle (like DRY or single responsibility or testability etc.). That's ultimately where I think the JavaLand culture has gone wrong, all these abstractions (many of them caused by being forced to live in a Kingdom of Nouns) that are sometimes quite useful in the large are always a pain in the small, but many times the small is all that is needed. Big projects are slowly learning they don't need to be so big, they can instead be a set of independent smaller projects, but it'll take more time.

True. I think in general it's a philosophy of functional programming, where data structures are types, and type signature of functions are their APIs.
I once made a CSS-only Todo List[1] that demonstrated chaining sibling selectors, using the :checked psuedo selector, CSS counters and some other things to "enhance" a Todo without using JS (technically JS is used in a Jade template to compile the necessary HTML and CSS). CSS is pretty powerful.

>You have no right to tell people what to do with their own computers.

You seem confused. The discussion here is about copyright law and intellectual property licensing. Code is a series of 1s and 0s that can be duplicated at almost no cost. Me "possessing" it doesn't deprive anyone else of anything.

Conversations I've had where people have told me that self-driving cars will need to be 100% perfect before they should be used. Ironically, one of those people was an ex-gf of mine who caused two car accidents because she was putting on makeup while driving.

Anyway, based on Google's extensive test results, I'm pretty sure self-driving cars are already advanced enough to be less of a risk than humans. Right now, the sensors seem to be the limiting the factor.
I'm going to be the naysayer here and say that a year and a half back when I was looking for jobs I considered all options up and down the California coast. My conclusion from my search was that I will not be moving to San Diego. The salaries are far below Orange County, which are below Los Angeles, which are less than Bay Area salaries. Now, money isn't everything, but I'd say tech culture (in terms of technology, meetups, like minded folks) are also ranked in the same order.

If someone wants to be a 'blub' programmer than SD is probably no worse than any other place, but someone looking to grow their career and have fun doing it, I'd recommend LA, OC, South Bay, and SF above SD whole heartedly.

I don't suppose that particular workload was very suited for Varnish in the first place, if you read carefully, you'll soon realize that most people don't have that kind of content.

I have heard from (other parts of) BBC that Varnish saved a fair amount of bacon for them during the London Olympics, obviously in different workloads.

And nobody would be more surprised than me, if Varnish was a micacle-cure for every single website in the world...
I'm going to remove this post. Based on applethrow2's description and the choice of "Danielle" as an alias, I assumed that they were AMAB, aka a "transwoman", aka a woman, but as DisraeliG points out one could have made the opposite assumption.
When Skynet takes over do you care if it was because machines developed "free will" or because they were "shuffling bits of paper". I think the fear of AI is independent of technical definitions of what goes on inside and people are not comforted by explanations why machines don't actually think on their own.
The claims about the method of teaching AI's is to me is moot. With the rate technology changes we would be foolish to assume that the current method will last even a couple of years.

The bigger fear surrounding AI is our reliance and the accountability at time of a failure. Tesla's Autopilot has been around for less than a year and it feels like it is under fire on HN weekly. How much is the NSA relying on deep learning to identify "bad" behaviors? How long until drones use image analysis to identify targets and act on them in real-time?

My more immediate fear is not with AI itself, but with our implementation of it. I am not fearful of a Ex Machina-style robot on the loose. Instead, my concerns are that humans will begin to rely on machines to make decisions i don't even think humans should be allowed to make.

Grishnakh got it done in one. I agree with every last sentence, down to the punctuation. No, wait. Make that down to the kerning.

I'll also add that some places are not just warming chairs with asses, but intentionally gaming the numbers and incurring mountains of technical debt in an apparent effort to suck more money out of the government customer than they were originally willing to pay, which is usually an insane amount to begin with.

It's hard to see the line between make-work scheme and outright fraud, but think I was probably on the wrong side of it for roughly two years. I didn't care much for the territorial pissing and office-level politics there, either.

The only reason I stayed at that place so long was because I was so sick of job-hunting and interviewing that I couldn't bring myself to do it more than once or twice a week. In the end, I settled for an opening at the same company that had laid me off with three days notice and no severance two years before, which was what forced me to go to the crap job in the first place.

> Their very limited and simple goals prevent them from even wanting to “take over” or “rule over us.”

I dont think that's the main concern regarding AI (correct me if I'm wrong). What Hawking, Musk, and Gates fear is a weaponized AI. One that doesn't necessarily "want" to take us over or rule over us, but one that is specifically programmed to do so.

Nuclear warheads are built to blow up. That doesn't necessarily mean they "want" to, but they are dangerous all the same.

Certainly true. Proposition 13 removes another check on NIMBYism and property price boosterism, since without it the owners will have to pay a high proportion of their non-property wealth in taxes unless incomes rise by a similar amount.

Nice try, HAL 9000.
I agree that its a great story. Like all good stories it tries to distill the point from a much more complex and nuanced world. And because the world is more complicated than narrative fiction, there are always other aspects that contribute or can be portrayed in different ways.

The reality of things as I came to understand them were these; Jef Raskin was passionate about user interface design like few people I have ever known. The folks at PARC were excited about the possibilities offered by the advanced state of the art in graphics and input devices and they had some really excellent thinkers and engineers who were implementing really different ways of interacting with computers. Steve Jobs was passionate about design with strong opinions on what was "right" and what was "wrong" about any given product feature.

Now you have to put that into an engineering context. Apple is building a new computer system, one of its, if not THE, lead designers has ideas about how the user will interact with it. The company is pushing back on these ideas because they are "radical and new" and questioning how the engineers know that this will be a better way to build computers than the existing examples in the Apple II and CP/M machines of the day. So this conversation within Apple gets more and more energetic. If you are in an engineering company and are leading any sort of project you will have this experience. You propose something different than what the company expects, and the company pushes back on that proposal in a bunch of different ways. In an effect that is oddly reminiscent of how a band-gap forms in a PN junction, groups line up for or against the concept. And it percolates up the management chain until someone in authority "decides" and shuts down all of the side conversations.

Having had conversations with various people both on the Xerox side and the Apple side who were part of that experience, I concluded that Steve Job's visit to PARC where he saw a realized example of what Jef was trying to push through, convinced Steve that it was better design.
I based that conclusion on stories about how the conversation within Apple changed once Steve had seen for himself the possibilities presented by a window based system with a pointing device. Jef related in a talk that he gave about interface design that resistance to the ideas essentially evaporated once Steve was on board.

So is that the "real" story? I don't know. It is the most likely explanation of events that followed all of the statements I heard from people who participated in the design of the Macintosh/Lisa and people who build XDE and Star (the Xerox Development Environment and their office suite). Does it matter? I don't know that it does, the origin story for the Macintosh is what it is.
Asking your friends to hang out after a certain age just feels juvenile.
OK, maybe I put that stupidly. Let me try it differently. "I've deployed both, I did enough load testing to learn something about their performance in the configurations that mattered to me, and the performance is so okay that I'm not even going to look it up. Choose based on other criteria."

There are other criteria.
I don't think the plugin needs to directly support those features, as they are already in the engine natively.

The engine supports generating meshes dynamically at runtime: https://wiki.unrealengine.com/Procedural_Mesh_Generation

It is also fairly easy to generate random or pseudo random levels using blueprint (Unreal's visual scripting API) or C++

I'd really suggest you read the original links in the parent post, which address this very issue.
https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Paperclip_maximizer

"...a paperclip maximizer is an artificial general intelligence (AGI) whose goal is to maximize the number of paperclips in its collection... It would innovate better and better techniques to maximize the number of paperclips. At some point, it might convert most of the matter in the solar system into paperclips."

Also:

"Some goals apparently serve as a proxy or measure of human welfare, so that maximizing towards these goals seems to also lead to benefit for humanity. Yet even these would produce similar outcomes unless the full complement of human values is the goal. For example, an AGI whose terminal value is to increase the number of smiles, as a proxy for human happiness, could work towards that goal by reconfiguring all human faces to produce smiles, or tiling the solar system with smiley faces (Yudkowsky 2008)."
