Nice article, couldn't really bring myself to reading it all. Just wish it was a bit more shorter and concise, was more of a marketing spill.

Sweet potatoes have important nutrients. I do not eat significant amounts of sweet potatoes, and only eat them for the nutrients. A typical meal with sweet potatoes in them has far less than 100 grams of sweet potatoes in total. There's also things you can do to interfere with carbohydrate metabolization such as ingesting apple cider vinegar which contains acetic acid.

I eat greens with fiber as well as psyllium seed husks. Broccoli and avocados are staples in my everyday diet.
They don't skip over this; it just isn't called out in the summary:

"One area where legal marijuana has reaped unexpectedly large benefits is state tax revenue. Colorado, Washington, and Oregon all impose significant excise taxes on recreational marijuana, along with standard state sales taxes, other local taxes, and licensing fees. As seen in Figure 25, Colorado collects well over $10 million per month from recreational marijuana alone.91 In 2015 the state generated a total of $135 million in recreational marijuana revenue, $35 million of which was earmarked for school construction projects. These figures are above some pre-legalization forecasts, although revenue growth was disappointingly sluggish during the first few months of sales.92 A similar story has unfolded in Washington, as illustrated in Figure 26, where recreational marijuana generated approximately $70 million in tax revenue in the first year of sales93—double the original revenue forecast.94 Oregon only began taxing recreational marijuana in January 2016, so data are still preliminary; however, state officials report revenues of $14.9 million so far, well above the initial estimate of $2.0 million to $3.0 million for the entire calendar year95 The tax revenues in these states may decline."
This presupposes that goods aren't fungible.

In supermarkets, they are. To most consumers, one brand of milk might as well be another brand--even if the tastes is different, it's slight enough to be negligible. So just shelving everything as 'milk' is good enough for the supermarket to handle is distribution duty. Now if one particular brand wants to do better than its competitor, it can pay for placement closer to the checkout section, or pay for a big promotional area for it.

The same might be true with apps. Yes apps have differences, but its not really clear that such differences are enough that there is clearly one app better suited for a purpose than another. Nor is it clear that you can both (a) divine the suitability of any app and (b) match that up with a consumer with any degree of accuracy versus alternatives.

If the above were true, central planning via the app store would be great. Since it's not... well our best known solution is capitalist market action which opening up the store to advertisement allows.

How? If there are 1000s of new apps coming out per day, how do you better accommodate all of them?
Is there any word or chance on FreeBSD moving to LibreSSL in base? And perhaps more importantly, with key pre-compiled packages such as nginx? I would be extremely appreciative of any effort that would allow me to use that in place of OpenSSL, while still enjoying everything else that makes FreeBSD uniquely exceptional.
Well, you have to draw a line somewhere between ethical tax minimization and unethical tax evasion. Where do you draw it?

This is a continuum that stretches from clearly illegal schemes through hazy waters, into calm water like deducting salaries and cost of goods sold from revenue and paying tax on the balance. For individuals "tax avoidance" includes deducting charity contributions and taking advantage of things like deductions for dependents. If that is not "unethical" to you then you need to make a distinction between tax avoidance and tax evasion.

Many people believe "is it legal" is a good line to use. You may differ on that, but you can't escape the dichotomy.

I'm pretty sure this is old news in that the locals recently defeated the plan in a referendum.

It's also not the first attempt... One of my earliest memories is a trip there a few years after the wall fell when my father was involved in a similar venture – that also went nowhere.

Hooray for GIS! It's truly amazing that in this day and age, this quality of data, and the computing power to crunch it, is available to the average user sitting on their couch with a laptop.

Some things I'd like to see:
1. I've generally seen heat islands referring to not so much getting hotter on a hot day, but staying warmer on a cold day, or at night -- this is one reason why cities get rain when the suburbs get snow, especially in the mid-Atlantic. Would like to test whether trees impact that.

2. I'm concerned from a statistical perspective that trees vs. no trees could be strongly correlated with other variables that might be more causative, like building type and density. Would like to see a paired comparison of areas in the city that are otherwise very similar, with the only difference being more vs. less trees.

Not complaining at all; the author is laying out the tools. Time for me or someone else to pick them up and investigate further ...
Networking trends in computers operate in a cyclical pattern. At some point, and probably soon since we're now overdue, we will be talking about 'private clouds' or 'home servers' and houses having one expensive, modular computer and a lot of tablets and televisions being driven off of it.

In that world, this sort of technology could be adapted to shipping video a short distance, say less than 10ms away. As a platform instead of a service these sorts of things might work as well as a port of the game to your platform of choice.

You throw your playstation 5 into a closet in the basement and you can play games anywhere in the house, or maybe at your friend's house a couple blocks over.
Pretty sure it isn't just about discovery considering you couldn't have an app on an iPhone without Apple. This is just an inevitability of a walled ecosystem.

Seems like a merger between Amazon and either UPS or Fedex would be a wise decision, imagine that. And they don't necessarily have to pull antitrust measures afterwards, they can put their energy into effiencies instead of exploitation. And I don't think the merger would even blocked by government for antitrust concerns because they still have a lot of competition.

Sometimes a heavily biased source is the only one that is willing to discuss an issue, or bring it forward. Consider it the opposite of an appeal to authority argument, but bias of a source doesn't necessarily discredit the argument.

Not to nit-pick, but Sweet Potatoes are not Keto friendly. They will knock you out of ketosis pretty quick, even if you are keto-adapted.

A better alternative is cauliflower. It can be used in most of the same places as potatoes, but is an acquired taste for some.

Edit: There are 27g of carbs in a sweet potato. That's more than my entire daily allowance on Keto.

There have been several comments regarding authentication but what I see as the glaring issue is the lack of authorization. Without some sort of RBAC implemented within Teleport and/or integration with external authorization solutions the use cases for Teleport are going to be limited to very simple scenarios. The suggestion mentioned within a couple of github issues of using os logins as roles is a non-starter in a large number of environments due to security and audit considerations.

I understand that trusted clusters were originally intended as a means to allow Teleport to work through restrictive firewalls but the same type of environments which are going to necessitate the use of trusted clusters are also likely to require more restrictions regarding which users are allowed to access the cluster from a trusted cluster. The current solution of specifying individual allowed users is too limited and doesn't scale.

Gravity, which Teleport is ripped from, is a system to support SaaS providers in deploying and managing onsite implementations within enterprise networks. Maybe these issues are addressed at a different level within Gravity but if not I would be hesitant to allow a SaaS provider to deploy within my network using Gravity.
Tax avoidance is legal - it's reducing your income through legal means.

Where it gets prickly is when companies game the system and find ways to reduce tax that the sovereign clearly would outlaw, but cannot for structural or political reasons. Still not illegal, but not exactly awesome either.
Mocking machines for testing is one reason.
Honestly, I think the poor had more rights (or at least had an easier time of having their rights honored) in the Middle Ages than they would under libertarianism. Look up _Marriage and Family in the Middle Ages_ or _A History of Private Life_ if you're curious.

See? As soon as we introduce 1, we give rise to the question: what is 0 - 1? And that, alas, is the root origin of downvoting.
That's a rather pedantic interpretation. To give one counterexample. Claims can have merit in terms of how the long term events that follow. I have certain ideas of what will follow from e.g. a given proposal; but that's often given many assumptions that went unstated in the original source. By knowing the direction of bias I can postulate what might come from the author's assumptions for those unknowns as well, and perhaps see an angle I hadn't or adjust my "internal bayesian function" of outcomes; which absolutely leads to a subjective judgement of merit. (but despite subjectivity is still to my eyes a best-we-can-do-in-absence-of-more-data question of merit; necessary due to the messiness of "real life")

To bring this very hand wavy generalization back to the topic, look at many arguments posed in the anti-marijuana camp (as discussed in this very writeup) being based on extremely pessimistic to the point of unrealistic assumptions in order to derive the conclusions they prescribed; conclusions in isolation that could be seen as terrifying but if you consider author bias can be accounted for more reasonably.

I've had delivery problems when Amazon itself was doing the delivery. My wife and I were both home for the entire day (as usual) and we were expecting a package. About 2pm I got an e-mail saying "there was no answer at the door" and "no safe place to put the package". I was sitting 10 feet from the door. As far as a safe place the entry way to our house is a fully covered 8 foot deep area. The package was not exceptionally big. I called Amazon and said frankly that the driver was lying. He finally sheepishly delivered the package a few hours later. He ran up and dropped off the box then ran back to his car.
Feudal Europe was feudal Europe because it was a Malthusian state. Economic growth was quickly eaten by population growth. Libertarianism doesn't seem any more likely to increase the rate of reproduction relative to the rate of economic growth.

Yes! I own a BB classic and it's the best. The problem is BB has larger ambitions, and can't just reconcile itself to serving the relatively small market of power users. They want to be everywhere. They could charge a premium for Classic and just occupy that niche, but no, they have to throw it all away. I'm just hoping that whoever designed Classic is going to get frustrated and go do some open source hardware. Now that would be a silver lining.
>Currently, boys are more culturally inclined to have had previous exposure to technology and programming than girls.

I guess I would ask for your basis for this comment. Unless I'm completely off-base on current teenage culture, kids who sit at their computer to program all day are pretty much universally shunned in high school whether a girl or boy. At least at my high school, the advanced math classes were pretty much 50/50 split between boys and girls and I'd argue passing AP calc in high school is 90% of the battle. If you can tackle that the basics of programming are nothing.

>This relative lack of experience is often misinterpreted as a relative lack of ability or aptitude by the students with less experience, even if their potential is equal if not better than their more experienced peers.

I guess I don't get where you're going with this. The teachers will expect you to complete homework and tests. If you're saying professors are somehow making girls feel bad if they go in and ask for help on problems, you should be reporting that to the university. I appreciate the opinion but it feels like a huge reach. CS101 is literally as basic as it gets. If you've passed advanced mathematics and are lost in basic programming, CS probably isn't the best profession. I REALLY am struggling to believe the next Diane Greene missed the boat because they couldn't make it through intro to programming.

I cannot for the life of me grasp this insistence that we have equal representation across all professions from both genders. It turns out males and females literally have difference chemical make-ups and gravitate towards different professions naturally.

If there are women truly being discriminated against, as insinuated above, by something like a professor not giving them the help they need - let's absolutely address it. Fire the professor, sanction the school, throw the book at them. If the issue is "there's way more boys than girls applying for X degrees" - who cares? If they aren't being actively discriminated against, stop trying to force the issue. Let people pursue the professions they enjoy and stop being so caught up in the breakdown of what they naturally drift towards.
You're reich, it looks amazing.
> In other words, who is saying something is entirely irrelevant to the merit of what they are saying.

Entirely true. The value in pointing out potential biases by bringing up the background of the speaker, however, is in inviting others to consider aspects of the argument (or the argument as a whole) in a critical manner.
Ask HN: How would you tell that your app is going to require a subscription?
TL;DR: We've started to promote our product and received a lot of attention, but without mentioning that it's going to require a monthly subscription. How would you talk about the subscription without generating a lot of disappointment?

We're currently working on a service to help speech therapists which is also have an app. We're planning to start our beta next month, so we've started to spread the word about the product this week.

Our strategy was to talk about some of the features of our product, together with useful content for our public to start generating some interest and nurture it until the launch date.

Unexpectedly, we've received a lot of attention (actually the amount expected for a month in a week) and a lot of people are sending us messages to ask about the product. This is great, but I'm worried that a lot of people might get disappointed as soon as we start sharing more details with them, as we haven't mentioned, yet, that the service is supposed to require a monthly subscription (+- US$9).

How would you manage their expectations in order to introduce the paid plan without a lot of disappointment?

Some background:

* We're based in Brazil. I don't know if it's something which only happens in here, but people seems to always assume that apps are free.
> I think this use of the term is related to the misconception that some living taxa are the ancestors of other living taxa.

The misconception is that some living taxa are identical to some ancestral taxa from which something else has also descended that is different.

But isn't it the case that some are at least close (for some intents and purposes)? Crudely, apes haven't gone away because there are humans. Bacteria are still here and so on. Just they are not exactly the same like bacteria 300 million years ago.
I don't find that to be the case at all.

I see where he's coming from, but totally agree with you. I've worked with people who refuse to consider a GUI editor because emacs is what they learned in school and it can do everything, but they don't actually configure the damn thing. Then they are speechless when I refactor, find refs, regex replace: all at the keyboard. Yes, this is a Java based IDE... no, you don't have to click on enormous shiny buttons to do work. Also you don't need to understand lisp to configure it, wow!

Rant over, sorry for derailing the thread. This is a touchy subject.

I read a book by Lee Smolin a while back where he argued that, basically, we don't really know what time is. Since then he's written another book titled Time Reborn which deals with the same issues. I'm about 1/3'rd of the way into it, and while I'm far from an expert on any of this, I think he makes some interesting points. At the very least, I'd say that I'm onboard with the idea that it's very possible that our entire conception of time is wrong, or at least incomplete.
We are very interested in tackling the multiple-pattern regular expression problem and will definitely want to use Hyperscan as a comparator.

Any help in setting up a study with both patterns and data sets would be most appreciated!
Perhaps I'm projecting my own experiences and mistakes but it seems like DJB's software and its comparative lack of success despite its superiority is a lesson in why it's more important to build consensus than it is to be right. No matter how correct you are or how good your solution is if you don't have the soft skills people might gladly go with a sub-par or even wrong solution.

I do think/hope that long term his software will win out though.
Ask HN: Why is learning so painful?
Most people find it hard to reach their full potential because we hate to learn something new. For most of us it takes some grit to spend the time and energy to learn something. Even now, when it's easier than ever to find and learn new stuff. Yet we can spend time doing the same thing over and over like an endless loop. Even if it's to our detriment.

Why is that? And how can we make it easier to learn? What helps?
Sure, you can cherry pick your data all you want. If we look at their infrastructure and military costs, they are within the ballpark to recover gracefully.

As for currency manipulation, did you conveniently forget that the US bailed out the banks to the tune of trillions with no jail times except for one lower end employee? Their own economic manipulations and fraud created a bubble that collapsed the Euro, strengthening the dollar.

Long term perspective is still quite good, and although you want to sputter your freedom eagle bullshit at anything you think is non US, it remains an attractive invest and forget investment option.

Your quote nails my sentiment on the matter of drug legalisation.

The conversation shown here within HN is fascinating, from an outliers perspective.

The benefits and effects of the legalisation of Marijuana I would assume, have been well documented by now though the quantity of these reports, I would assume to be small in number. Surely it's a benefit if the number of these reports and articles were increased.

Surely the reports from Canberra (Australia, where plant ownership is legalised) and Amsterdam are quite numerous? And they would back the sentiment shown in this article?

The argument about the 'divorce between rhetoric and reality' around drug policy has enough merit to renew the conversation on drug legalisation by it's self.

Once that conversation begins, the number of reports and articles such as this will increase and potential arguments about a single report being either biased or anecdotal will be minimised as the scientific method is leveraged.

The conversation should steered towards why drug policy is inaccurate and what we need to do to have laws and systems changed, socially and politically, to cater for more evidence based studies on drug use.

Edit:

A TED talk on the topic that I found interesting.

Disclaimer: occasionally I like to smoke weed. So by the sentiment of everyone here, I'm probably biased and my arguments should be subjected to criticism and be entirely disregarded as lacking merit.
