This seems like a really abusive use of the word "disruption". The only food industry suffering disruption here is delivery pizza and microwave dinners.
Even then, though, I'd still be very surprised if Google would respond to an offer of seat availability data from Southwest with "sorry, we won't let people search it unless you pay us".
They have done a good job on the Rapist thing. And it's probally true. I honestly don't know.

I don't know if it's a orchestrated conspiracy either? I don't like anyone who has a bunch of kids around the world, and a woman who claim he raped her.

That said, I do believe what come from Wikileaks. It the be site I do trust. That's pretty sad?

Don't particularly like the guy, but I believe what other Hackers, have sent him over the years. You can dislike someone, but trust their integrity.

I trust Wikileaks.

It's possible they refuse to interview him there because that's possibly the first step to an international incident. As it is now, they can claim they he's providing barriers to an interview. If they actually interviewed him and decided he needed to be taken unto custody, they would then actually have to address that he's under asylum in an embassy, and possibly come under local pressure to pressure Ecuador to release him. If they refuse, it escalates back and forth until someone backs down and loses face. If they've already received confirmation that Ecuador will not give him up, I can see not interviewing him as what they see as the best option to prevent that situation.
My grandmother lived most of her life in an enormous Edwardian apartment in Hampstead, North London. The place was worth over GBP3MM last I looked, but she paid the fixed rent of seventy pounds a year that had been negotiated in the 1930s with no termination or renegotiation possible until she left in the late '90s.

(Note: the relative value of seventy pounds in 1930 isn't a simple conversion, because economic conditions have changed. See https://www.measuringworth.com/ukcompare/relativevalue.php?u... for a discussion).

Well, I hope this network succeeds.

If it's based on the concept of "LION" (LinkedIn Open Networkers), I have to say that many Artificial Intelligence groups in LinkedIn are full of people talking about Asimov instead of actual AI.
>That being said, when compared to twinkies and sugary sodas it might still be better for you. Having it as part of a daily diet though might not be a good idea.

If you also think that since we know so little about nutrition most of us should revert to eating exclusively meat and vegetables until further research is conducted because we started harvesting grains and potatoes off absolutely no research, then I think your argument is consistent. But otherwise your argument is, "we don't know much, but I like rice and my friends think Soylent is bad for you".

Not knowing much about nutrition doesn't make you unintelligent, but running around implying that something's a bad idea when you don't know what you're talking about is foolish at best and harmful at worst.
You've presented us with a logical fallacy:

Is this actually a new thing?

I was under the impression that carriers and captains have taken the jetstreams into account when planning their routes for decades and it is systematic.

Cabin announcements have mentioned this already in 1990's: "Ladies and gentlemen, our flight path takes us today further to the north so we'll be passing Vorkuta and approach the Lake Baikal from north before entering Mongolian airspace. This way we can utilize tailwinds and our estimated time of arrival in Beijing is about half an hour ahead of the schedule."
> There are many historical examples of countries with legitimate governments that were taken over by a demagogue or tyrant

Not that many, actually (then again, there's not that many true democracies until recently) but in each case the problem was much deeper than the person of the specific demagogue and tyrant. And usually the particularly heinous demagogue and tyrant was precedent by a row of less heinous demagogues and tyrants. So what's so special in this one?

> You can't imagine a sane person could fear the same outcome in the United States?

Fear - sure. But fearing something and claiming something is going to happen is a different thing. I can fear being mugged and still not claim everybody I meet is a mugger. I can fear snakes but not see snakes behind every corner. Fear is healthy, but not when it gets out of control.

> Democracy has to be re-earned in each generation.

True, but also not very useful. What is specific in Trump that didn't ever happen that makes him more threat than King George, Jefferson Davis and many other lousy and controversial presidents US had over the years? Which specific faults will enable him to overthrow the Republic and why no one is working on fixing those flaws right now?
I think it's a new term for something very old.

Supplement foods either don't have a good balance of nutrition, or are overly expensive in relation, in my experience.
Not sure, Assange / wikileaks went from "impartial leaked docs hosting service" to "at the whim of founder's grudges" for me. Releasing the dem emails is fine, timing it for maximum damage to Dems election prospects isn't.
I don't think that 'The nutritional value of a food is based on it's composition.' is too wild a claim.
Tech enjoyed a long period of minimal regulation as it was changing/moving fast and government didn't understand it. No longer. Just like auto, finance and other big industries tech will be heavily regulated. These regulations will be used to ensure those with money and power are able to keep it. Like it or not that's how our country works.
As jacalata said, it's the Church of England, the Anglican Church. If you're American, you might be more familiar with the word Episcopalian, which is the American branch of the Anglican Communion, a community of Anglican Churches in various countries around the world.

Historically, England (and I'm talking about England here, not Scotland, which has a different arrangement) was a Catholic country, until the Pope wouldn't give Henry VIII a divorce. He created the Church of England with himself as its head.

Anglicanism is a broad church with some congregations that are basically similar to Catholicism (outside of the Roman Catholic church) with the ritual and ceremony — High Church congregations — and some which which are Protestant.

The Queen is the head of the Church of England, and the Archbishop of Canterbury is the senior priest. Senior members of the Church of England have the right to sit the the House of Lords, which is the second chamber of the British Parliament, so as you can see, the Church, the Monarchy (which is nominally the executive), and the legislature are all tied together — that's what it means to have an established church.

Indeed - and the significance of tailwinds is larger than ships have with ocean currents.
Running the numbers. I live in Massachusetts and sure enough, that is one of the bottom 10 states. My Honda CRZ hybrid gets about 40 mpg average over the year. The price of gas, price per kWh and the number of miles are about right.

Gas: 12282 miles @ $2.14/g and 40 mpg is $657.
Electric: 12282 miles @ $0.191/kWh and Tesla P85 85kWh 285 mile range is 3.35 miles/kWh for $700.

Basically a wash in a state ranked as 47th with a decently high mpg car. Price difference on the car is substantial though. $66,000 vs $23,000.
Certifying authorities set the limits on how many people you can put on the airplane. The JAA (essentially EU version of FAA) had a limit that was (IIRC) 5 fewer than the FAA because during their testing of evacuation that was all they could get out within the time limit.

Show HN: Evaluating Computational Creativity
I'm not a Trump supporter. Actually I was a Bernie supporter. I dislike both remaining candidates, but I do try to take as charitable an interpretation of both candidates' statements as reasonably possible. I have not found it productive to work any other way.

I can take a charitable interpretation of one candidate's statements, but not the other -- in which case my thinking becomes biased, or I can take an uncharitable interpretation of all candidates' statements, in which case they all seem irredeemably evil. Or I can try to make a good-faith attempt to determine what each candidate seems to be trying to say, which at least makes logical (as opposed to purely tribal) discourse possible, even though my inferences may be wrong.

I'm also a contrarian -- so, even though I may appear to be defending Trump here, because HRC is so overwhelmingly favored on HN, I do exactly the opposite with my friends and family in the red state I live in.

Of course I am not saying Trump is an especially honest or fact-based person. I am simply saying that when we evaluate candidates and their statements, we should try to look at facts. In case I didn't make it clear enough:

#1 is supported by some facts, if you take the interpretation I have taken. If he means something different, maybe not.

If he means, "I would put her in jail if I became President simply for being my political opponent", then that would be very bad, and of course I wouldn't condone that. I just don't see any more evidence for that interpretation than for mine.

#2 could be supported by ample facts, or not, depending on what he means by "rigged". Actually the bar would be much higher if he said something like "the election is/was rigged in HRC's net favor". I strongly doubt that.

#3 will almost certainly never be supportable.

We were discussing whether or not it's a "feature" that you don't have to cook and the rationale for that thinking is simply that some people don't want to cook. Whatever you replace the act of cooking with in that example is entirely up to you. But it's undeniably a feature to some people and were I not married I would very likely replace a few meals with something like this, if it was available to me where I live.

I find it interesting that there are so many of you that take offense to what other people choose to do with their own time and energy, as well as what they eat. Have you noticed a lot of people dislike people who try to force their lifestyles and/or dietary choices on other people? Do you see any similarities between those people and your own comments, perhaps?
No :(

Airplanes need to be moved around. Maybe one leg is partially empty because the plane needed to be somewhere for a D check.

When I was a dispatcher for a very small regional carrier, we might cancel a flight that was too empty. More often we'd have to fly a nearly empty or empty flight so that the plane would be where it needed to be for the next day.
Reading in offense to what I've said? It's not there. If anything, I'd say that my original comment caused offense, which I'm now having to manage. Typical, boring, but then, I did walk into this.

I'm not talking about, or to people who use Soylent instead of a granola bar.
Will it help predict when mistakes are most likely to occur? The $30 RT EWR to HNL?
Whereas the whole point of Soylent is the chance to skip this whole time investment and optimization process.

Right -- as with the entire junk food industry in general, basically.

As in: yes, there's certainly a big "value prop" in getting you past that next perceived craving (or legitimate nutritional need), as expediently as possible. But whether that provides a good "value" in the long run (either nutritionally or financially) is highly questionable.

I can't agree. First off, they say they stand for transparency. That's often synonymous with impartiality but not always.

Second, one of the candidates in this election has previously stated that Assange should be killed.

To me that moves the motivation from founder's grudge to self-defense.
>If one is forced to choose between freedom and democracy, I don't see any moral choice but to choose freedom.

An odd choice to equate freedom with capitalism but not with democracy. You are holding the right to control private trade more free than the right of some to representative government; in other words, the freedom of few over many.
You are right, it is a bit weird. The only point is that it makes you less willing to end a conversation.. But really i was just lazy/not thinking about it. Putting it on The list!

Well, you're arguing that someone doesn't get to "enjoy the First Amendment" if we don't nod along and provide a compliant audience. Disagreeing or, worse, choosing not to associate with someone based on what they say is, to gauge from this thread, considered a terrible sin.

So: why aren't you out there providing an audience to speech you don't like?
I think it is the specificity of OSHpark that makes it work for them.

They are also great for smaller sizes, but as soon as you get bigger than a few square inches, they get expensive in a hurry.
This is a free speech country. People can associate with whomever they want. Celebrate that we can say and write deplorable things to one another. Peter Thiel can do what he wants with his millions, celebrate that. You can moralize about how nuts Thiel is to do that, I celebrate you for that.

On the right, I've been told God will judge me if I don't vote Trump (not biblical - I told them where to go.) On the left, I've seen violence and vile hate directed at trumpsters.

Everyone calm down, please. It is possible for reasonable people to disagree 100% on Trump v. Clinton. Don't try to ruin people's lives or be a hater over someone's opinions. Other people have dimensions, and life is never black and white. Always be civil, just shake your head in cases like this and say, "well, I simply don't know where your head is on this one."

We can settle our disagreements at the ballot box.

Disclaimer: I'm not voting for Trump or Clinton for (in my opinion) obvious reasons, and I'm not emotional about either.

Dude, go see the comments in reddit /r/the_donald and then get back to me.

I hope that the "40%" (more likely 20%) will come back to rational thinking, but we will see. I consider myself a left leaning centrist, and I like some things Donald says, but it's only because a broken watch is right twice a day.
Just because the Constitution does not exclusively enumerate rights does not mean any particular right not enumerated exists. In English law, "rights" arose from law and tradition. It's a fundamentally backward-looking analysis, not a forward-looking one.

Do you have the right to use strong encryption? If you can fit it into a right the framers would have recognized based on English law and tradition (probably free speech), then yes. If not, then no. The 10th amendment has nothing to say about that.

Fundamentally, the Constitution is not really about "rights." The Bill of Rights was added to appease those who were worried the central government would impinge on the traditional rights of Englishmen. But the real purpose of the exercise was to create a powerful, but democratic, central government that had the authority to do the things that needed to be done.

I always find it laughable (in a very sad way) when people support a political candidate based on the active belief that they won't actually do what they say.

If your best chance is that the president has been lying and exaggerating things for the last year and a half, you're totally screwed.

I also don't believe his positions exaggerate his beliefs. He is a racist sexist xenophobic con man, and his policies reflect that.

"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time", said Maya Angelou. Trump has been showing us who he is for decades, yet people like you still think maybe he's someone else. Fancy.
So far the only link to Clinton seems to be post-hoc (this happened around the same time as the Podesta etc. emails) and guilt by association (the accusations were reported on DailyKos and "pro-Clinton Twitter accounts"). Weak. Is there really anything more, or is this just Assange being Assange?
I did forget one thing that still falls under free speech (even legally probably), aside from the state not stopping you from expressing your opinion, it should protect your ability to do so. As in, not allowing anyone to silence you, but even that has its boundaries since silencing someone is not the same as not perpetuating what they say.

The examples you gave are ones where the effect on that person's life would be so fundamental that it could easily be considered an intrusion into their rights.

Boycotting a company or choosing to end a business partnership are completely different in that regard.

As if the usual short-attention-span media and population will ever care about it. It'll be maybe until a couple of months after Clinton's inauguration and no one gives a f... about Trump any more. There's always something more newsworthy than the misery of a failed presidential candidate.

The only exception will be the GOP: they're in for a couple very nasty years, divided between a couple remaining "ordinary" conservatives, the Trump/Tea Party extreme-right-wing movement which surely won't be retreating even if Trump loses, and a society that is more and more moving towards the left end of the political scale - just look at marijuana, homosexual marriage, abortions... society is on a way towards progress and you just can't sell abortions and homosexual marriages to a party consisting of (extreme) Christians and right-wings. No one will vote for them any more.

The GOP will be shattered, the only problem is that there's no one to fill the gap yet.

Thiel has openly commented, for example, that he thinks "democratic capitalism" has been harmed, if not outright destroyed, by extending the franchise to women. And of course Trump's own supporters had their "repeal the 19th" trending moment on Twitter over the discovery that women voting could make the difference in their candidate winning or losing.

So... I'm arguing with the public, verifiable actions and statements of Trump and his supporters, among whom one finds Peter Thiel.

Nutrition experts recommending a different diet isn't very useful information. Most people probably don't eat a diet any given nutrition expert would approve.

But more practically: if a nutrition expert can point to hard scientific evidence that Soylent is missing something specific, then it can be added. If they can't, then they are just talking out of their ass.
