The New York Times this morning about his supposed successor:

"As chief administrative officer from 2010 to 2011, however, Mr. Sloan’s role included overseeing Wells Fargo’s human resources and reputation management. He then became finance chief for three years. And one of his direct reports when he was promoted to chief operating officer last year was Carrie Tolstedt, who ran the offending community-banking division until earlier this year.

That makes Mr. Sloan a member of the inner circle that would have known about the wrongdoing from its early days and tried to deal with it. This group hardly covered itself in glory: It was still handing out pink slips in 2016, five years after the first bankers were shown the door. Mr. Stumpf and Ms. Tolstedt have already ceded compensation for the mess. Investigations by the board and regulators may yet implicate Mr. Sloan and others."

Keep in mind that immigration is actually a small part of this; the much much more important element is birth rates. The core issue in the US is that we made promises based on an economy where the baby boom generation was working to support their parents in retirement, but we're going to need to pay up in an economy where millennials are working to support the baby boom generation in retirement.

Sure, that would be nice. It's also completely impossible. Productivity growth has never, ever, ever grown fast enough to bail us out of the hole we're in now, and we have zero (repeat, zero) ideas on how we could possibly change that.

The title "Update on Soylent Bar" is pretty vague, so here's the gist:

> It has recently come to our attention that a small number of our customers have experienced gastrointestinal issues after consuming Soylent Bars. As a precautionary measure, we are halting all Soylent Bar purchases and shipments and are advising our customers to discard any remaining bars in their possession.

> After hearing from our customers, we immediately began investigating the cause of the issue and whether it was linked to a problem with the Bars. So far we have not yet identified one...

> We will be reaching out via e-mail to all Bar customers to offer a full refund.

Wow.

I have a box of Soylent Bars from a few weeks ago I've been eating on occasion. I haven't had any issues, and they seem fine to me.

Kudos to the Soylent team for covering the issue so quickly, especially after the incident last month [1] where Coffiest wasn't meeting its prescribed nutritional content. It seems like they're struggling with production quality and consistency at scale.

(That said, I am a happy Soylent customer.)

Ever since its first very first release, anytime I've read about Soylent, there is always some type of gastrointestinal response associated with it. What's the deal with their formulas?

I've used other Soylent type products, and researched a ton more, and I never get the impression that they have similar issues.

I'm not sure how any company can provide this proof. However, the rage felt by all the truly dedicated individuals who watched their equity decline in value has drastically changed the culture, everyone is on watch to make sure that doesn't happen again. In addition, new technology and new teams have the explicit purpose of monitoring and maintaining compliance, which I believe are effective. The internal shift to being a "compliance company" is not just marketing speak, it is real.
Maybe they are fine. I saw people online raving about Quest bars, so I bought five different flavors to try. Result: Gastrointestinal issues I haven't experienced with other protein bars. And I didn't even like the taste.

Even with that experience in mind, I'd probably try a Soylent Bar. Everybody's different.

Not the OP but I have tried it. In the toaster oven and microwave, it was the best meat substitute burger that I had tried. Proud, I bought it to a cook-off with some carnist friends and there it met its nemesis: the open flame. I am not sure whether I overcooked it or if I got the wrong kind of Beyond Meat product but it was not good cooked on the grill. I finished it off with a brave face while my carnist friends, having tried a sample and soundly rejected it, looked on with glee mixed with pity. At that same event, I also tried Quorn burgers and they did ok but still not great.

Did you read @Smerity's top comment above?
> There is not such a thing. In case we'd been handled a manual of the physical world...

I never asked for this, but rather for a clear overview of the models that exist, and where they fail. I understand it's experimental, and what interests me personally is (a) how can I use the existing models to do other fun things like write simulations and (b) where do the models break down so I can be more informed about the open directions in physics, which are almost always mathematical (what mathematical model describes the observations we see? how can we design an experiment that confirms or refutes a given mathematical model? etc.).
That assumes a connection is always available.
Ha, this immediately calls to mind Scott Aaronson's approach to teaching Quantum Mechanics in one of his lectures:

> There are two ways to teach quantum mechanics. The first way -- which for most physicists today is still the only way -- follows the historical order in which the ideas were discovered. So, you start with classical mechanics and electrodynamics, solving lots of grueling differential equations at every step. Then you learn about the "blackbody paradox" and various strange experimental results, and the great crisis these things posed for physics. Next you learn a complicated patchwork of ideas that physicists invented between 1900 and 1926 to try to make the crisis go away. Then, if you're lucky, after years of study you finally get around to the central conceptual point: that nature is described not by probabilities (which are always nonnegative), but by numbers called amplitudes that can be positive, negative, or even complex.

> Today, in the quantum information age, the fact that all the physicists had to learn quantum this way seems increasingly humorous. For example, I've had experts in quantum field theory -- people who've spent years calculating path integrals of mind-boggling complexity -- ask me to explain the Bell inequality to them. That's like Andrew Wiles asking me to explain the Pythagorean Theorem.

> As a direct result of this "QWERTY" approach to explaining quantum mechanics - which you can see reflected in almost every popular book and article, down to the present -- the subject acquired an undeserved reputation for being hard. Educated people memorized the slogans -- "light is both a wave and a particle," "the cat is neither dead nor alive until you look," "you can ask about the position or the momentum, but not both," "one particle instantly learns the spin of the other through spooky action-at-a-distance," etc. -- and also learned that they shouldn't even try to understand such things without years of painstaking work.

> The second way to teach quantum mechanics leaves a blow-by-blow account of its discovery to the historians, and instead starts directly from the conceptual core -- namely, a certain generalization of probability theory to allow minus signs. Once you know what the theory is actually about, you can then sprinkle in physics to taste, and calculate the spectrum of whatever atom you want. This second approach is the one I'll be following here.

Here's the full lecture.[0] The approach was interesting enough that I bought his full book[1], but unfortunately it was a little over my head.

Russia is doing a lot of fearmongering in the run-up to the US elections. I stumbled across some agitprop on Twitter yesterday, where I read that Russia was recalling all students who were studying abroad. Out of curiosity (to say the least) I tracked down the source article, which was a) not available in English, and b) just Russians criticizing privileged Russians who sent their kids abroad to study. Looking around the rest of the agitprop stuff that I could find at a cursory glance, there is a ton of literal FUD going around right now, to the tune of "WWIII imminent."

Wonder who they're trying so hard to influence?
Seems like at this point you're really depending on encryption to keep your data safe. You have to assume one or more entities is poring through your bits looking for interesting information.
for what it's worth, i use torrents regularly, I just don't see this reason to be conductive to the argument.

If a title is not available in a region, the copyright holder implicitly doesn't care at all. They care about piracy of their goods in regions where it's legally available for purchase. So sticking to arguments that revolve around that seem to make more sense, otherwise you are "preaching to the choir" as it were.

Their beef grounds are quite convincing and good, IMO though their extreme leanness gives them away. I have tried the chicken strips product as well and was not impressed. The burgers did well in the toaster oven but when I tried on a grill, possibly due to my mistakenly overcooking them, they were not good. All in all, their products have been the best substitutes that I have tried so far and I like that they are soy-free and contain the ingredients to form a fairly complete protein.

Sorry - I'm going to say it. These guys need to change their name already. It's just too much. (their name is derived from a dystopian film called Soylent Green, which I won't give away and other replies shouldn't either. It's really really famous.) I thought it was bad enough when everything was going dandy but when we read about this kind of PR / damage control, it's just too much.

They have a choice about it. This is a conscious joke on their part. They need to take the next step, please.

A small static site on S3 with the free cloudflare plan in front will cost you ~$0.50 per month, with moderate traffic. Probably less than fifty cents, especially to start with, if your traffic is low.

They support all the requested features.

Yes, hosting this on S3, with either cloudfront or cloudflare, does take some (one time) setup.

The payoff is that you don't have to rent and deal with a server and ongoing costs are very very low.

I think this can lead to the Wikipedia fallacy. If you reduce the credibility of information when you can perceive a means whereby the information could be compromised, you end up placing undue weight upon non-transparent information sources.

People don't trust Wikipedia because anyone could have written it yet place more trust in books that may just have a veneer of authenticity.
Some parts of the article go too far (developers finding their own ways to make things, continuously), but common idea of using Babel and writing in modern JS is prevalent - because you have to use a bundler to concatenate source code and import dependencies. But using a bundler feels like a compile step - and it's so easy and desirable to add another step and enable modern JavaScript ES2016+ in your web app. And this part is now a standard de-facto, but some people use make, others gulp, I happy with npm run or just bash scripts. But common idea of bundling and JS compiling holds true for all developers.

Actually, not yet completely solved problems in terms of consensus how to do things stay here: delay loading (login form/admin panel/main app code or features separation), component assets dependencies, modular CSS, and, of course, frontend and server side architectures with CycleJS, Elm, SAM, Redux, Angular 2 as candidates but those yet have unsolved problems: either work slow (and making simple app's size more than 1 MB zipped) or you have to write some boilerplate of source code lines. And comparing side there, of course, ability to componentise infinitely and hierarchically. And for accessing data GraphQL emerges as hot modern technology. And a lot of other cool things to keep tracking every day... It never stops, growing larger and allowing to reuse all third-party dependencies (beside of components - every team mostly prefers writing their own, because those play better with their chosen software architecture) and constantly rewriting your own source code.
