How do you deal with the Nalgene getting funky once you're >1 days into a trip, or does the Soylent rinse out cleanly enough for it to not be a concern? I used to use Accelerade for a significant proportion of my calories when backpacking - mainly because I have trouble getting down enough solid food when I'm on the go - but switched to Accel gels because the drink mix would leave the bottle pretty nasty after the first day.

> The alternatives, freeze-dried anything, are mostly disgusting and still require carrying a stove, fuel, and require cleanup

I've found Mountain House to be decently close to tasting like real food and requires no cleanup other than wiping the spoon. A Snow Peak LiteMax with a 750ml titanium pot weigh next to nothing, but there is still the fuel canister. I find the MoHo tasty enough that I'll eat it at home or work on occasion if I really don't want to spend any time on a meal.
>>And I see no evidence that Soylent paid any attention to basic things, like what you need to also eat in order to absorb the necessary nutrients.

Care to elaborate? What exactly do you mean by "what you need to also eat in order to absorb the necessary nutrients"?

I sounds to me that it works like an interface. You call function `doFoo()` and if there's a foobar, the OS does foo. If there isn't a foobar, the method does nothing (but both return STATUS_FOO_SUCCESS).

For the touch bar, you aren't doing the actual rendering; the OS is. Only the OS knows if there's a touch bar, so without a kext or something, it seems there's no way for you to know if the touch bar exists.

I use a different protein (NOW dutch choc isolate) and a different oil (smart balance). I also dropped the choline because it has a bad interaction with nicotine and I use an e-cig. When I went full soylent though I used it because I stopped using my e-cig during that time. I also added in 5g creatine.

I should note that this is a mass building recipe and meant for use while lifting. It has way more protein then you need for regular day to day. You can axe the protein down to ~60g daily and use it.

Also if you want to try it, get the corn flour from the grocery not amazon. It's waaaayy over priced on amazon.

Even just having a physically larger display that fills your FOV appears to improve spatial task and memory performance: http://research-srv.microsoft.com/en-us/um/people/desney/pub...

From another study (http://pro.sagepub.com/content/56/1/1506.abstract) on actual satisfaction (not open access, so quoting some key bits):

First, they provide a good summary of previous findings:

"Previous research has demonstrated productivity increases for users performing tasks on larger or multiple screens. For instance, a 9% productivity increase was noted while using wider screens (15” flat panel vs. 46.5” curved screen)
(Czerwinski, et al., 2003)."

"Similarly, a 3.1% increase was noted using dual screens over a single screen (Poder, Godbout, & Bellemare, 2007). Task success has been found to increase for tasks performed on 4 – 17” monitors vs. a single 17” monitor (Truemper, et al., 2008). Likewise, tasks were performed faster and with less workload while using 2 – 17” monitors over a single 17” monitor (Kang & Stasko, 2007)."

"Other studies have noted increased window interaction and open windows while using multi-monitor configurations (Hutchings, Smith, Meyers, Czerwinski, & Robertson, 2004)."

"Issues with single monitor use have been well documented. Generally, higher mental workload, more window switching, repositioning, resizing, inadvertent opening, and closing of files have been associated with single small monitor usage (Czerwinski, et al., 2003). Users generally perceive small single monitors as requiring more workload (Grudin, 2001; Hashizume, Kurosu, Kaneko, 2007)."

Second, their own findings:

"Participants felt more rushed, that they worked harder, and were more frustrated [with a single monitor configuration]."

"Participants spent more active time in the PDF reference document while completing tasks on the single monitor configurations"

"Participants were observed to leave the PDF reference document open and viewable (but not in focus) while working with other source documents when in the dual monitor configurations."

"Participants clicked less during tasks on the dual 22” monitors than the dual 17” monitors and single 17” and 22” monitors."

"Participants switched between windows more frequently during tasks on a single 17” and 22” monitors than the dual 22” monitors."

I'm using linux on desktop. it's great.

but on notebooks, linux isn't as great as mac os for two reasons.

1. doesn't support 3 finger gestures. i never feel I need to use a mouse with mac. but on linux, I still need a mouse.
in particular, linux doesn't allow you to use 3 finger to move a window.

2. doesn't support retina display well. if you use the full resolution, text will be very small to see.

as for apps, office, photoshop.

> Picking a color with your fat finger having to look over your fingers and down to see it, why not just a color selector on the screen next to your work? Usually droppers are used as well, messes up flow.

You don't have to look at the color picker, and you shouldn't. It is wide enough and will stand out in your peripheral vision, you can't miss it. Just shove your finger on it at random and slide while looking the text or element you are changing the color of. When you get to the desired color, you stop. Sounds nice to me.

> Browser tabs on the navbar, cmon, just use the tabs on the browser or hotkeys.

Depends on the implementation. Admittedly I don't keep an obscene number of tabs, but I usually navigate through them with ctrl-(shift)-tab. If the bar would let me slide my finger back and forth to go to the next or previous tabs, I might like it better than these keys. And of course, I wouldn't actually look at the bar: I would just shove my finger on it and slide.

I can think of a few other neat uses for this bar (albeit untested):

- A slider when you watch a video or listen to music that lets you rewind or go forward precisely (relative to the position of first touch). You would not look at it, you'd just reach and slide.

- Moving the cursor left or right to correct something: reach for the bar (without looking -- I don't know why everyone thinks they'll have to look at sliders to use them), slide in either direction. This could be faster than arrows in some situations.

- I think that using it to zoom or rotate might feel nicer than pinch/twist on the touchpad. I've never liked these gestures much.

- Subtitles when watching a video. I find them useful sometimes, but super distracting. Having them on the bar would be neat, you'd only look down once in a while.

The technology might get used badly, but it certainly has potential.

I'm not sure that a public celebration of murder is quite the same thing as any of those things you have mentioned. Public executions fell out of fashion in Europe some time ago. Surely we are shaped by our culture even if we are made of the same stuff. I understand the appeal of pointing out our similarities but if that isn't an example of a "deep cultural difference" I can't imagine what would be.

Probably, because they somehow revere age-related death as something more than it is (see all the comments about making space for new generations and so on). Age-related death is simply another sickness or the accumulation of sicknesses that finally overwhelms your body and strikes you down. And like every other sickness, I hope we get rid of it as fast as possible. Unfortunately, it will probably take longer than my lifetime until that happens.
Not OP, but r/crouton works pretty well
One of the biggest flaws of the tech industry is the belief that being a tech expert is enough to disrupt other industries in which they don't have any expertise. Sometimes they get lucky and it works despite something like Uber's or Airbnb's total ignorance of the law. Sometimes it fails like with numerous cryptocurrency companies relearning why the finance industry has so many dang regulations. Seems like Soylent is falling in the latter camp.

I wish I could have wine with every meal. However, with breakfast that might just be superfluous.

I eat all types of food and because I live in Manhattan I sure am fortunate to have all types of food nearby. I do enjoy fast food from time to time. Is a well made pastrami on on rye fast food? I do know it's delicious. So is a Big Mac for what it's worth.

I probably don't eat many rich lunches. Sandwiches work there. I don't think you need to have a Full English Breakfast, Croque Monsieur and some type of Béchamel based dinner every day. You also don't have to snack on garbage between meals.

Just because you make a meat and reduce a sauce from the drippings doesn't mean it's a rich meal. Served with 2 vegetables you have a rather lightweight meal. Especially when you control for portions. 1/3 pound of meat might be good enough.

The article paints death in a very black and white, good-vs-evil picture, but I hold that it's a much more complex mechanism.

And I don't mean to suggest that we should accept death or not pursue the escape of death, but most species (with some notable exceptions) who have enjoyed evolutionary success have death hardcoded into their genome.

Which suggests to me that over a sufficient timescale (probably dozens to thousands of generations), death is beneficial to a species. Death means that there are more resources available to younger generations, and means that you get more cycles of genetic optimization. That makes the species more successful as a whole.

Humans may find some way to get optimization cycles that don't involve death, but I hold the opinion that if we don't continuously pursue optimization cycles, we'll eventually be out-competed evolutionary by something that does. We have a huge head start, but in the fable, so did the dragon.

After the big Viners left for Instagram and YouTube, many viewers left with them. There were some holdouts, but instead of garnering 8 million views (what they achieved consistently before) they were lucky if they got 3 to 4 million views. It really felt like the community was dying.

Much of it has to do with monetization for content creators. They went where the money is. If the big content creators leave, what else is there for most viewers? The shrinking community also meant no one new trying to become famous would touch Vine and produce content for it.

Most likely Apple is not going to rewrite everything in Swift as that usually leads to more bugs due to missing documentation, but they are pretty clear it is a replacement to C and Objective-C for new code.

Ad is a vast term. You are generalizing. Remember, a friend of mine posting a link to their product or blog is an ad.
To begin with the uptake rate would be different. If you eat a whole bean your body will have to break it down into smaller parts (by chewing initially and so on) and in the end you'll get different amounts of whatever is in it in your system at different times if you eat it whole or grouns up.
another example would be certain seeds. Many seeds contain cyanide (well known poison!?), which is not dangerous in the seed because the amount you'll get into your system is miniscule. however if you ground the seed up, you'd get more cyanide taken up by your body, which could be bad for you. (I can't say how big the difference would be but it is theoretically sound)

Basiacally as easy to use (end user) as S/MIME certs but out of the reach of private decisions of the supplying party.
There's something to be said for not trying to put everything into a single expensive physical connection standard that requires complex active cabling.

USB was already a lot of software (and hardware) complexity just to attach a low speed peripheral like a mouse or a keyboard.

Yeah - YouTube wins because it directly generates income for creators, Snapchat wins because it's access to a different demographic in a unique way, Vine had great momentum and made creation easy, but never had a particularly strong USP so there's little loyalty to it as it's own platform for creators to drive traffic to.

I think that Soylent will go down as a cautionary tale for anyone who looks at a field they know very little about and thinks "how hard could it be?". Along with Theranos.

What Soylent should have built to be worth $100+ million is a way to make a food product tailored to a particular person or group of people that's based on automation and nutritional science.

Instead they seem to have a cobbled together amalgam that they don't really understand. If it hits 25% DV down the board and nobody dies then it's a job well done.

We know that different people have different dietary needs. The RDA system is by design generalized, not personalized. The RDA for iron varies between 8mg and 27mg [1] for adults but the DV is 18mg.

Meanwhile Soylent Powder 1.6 provides 5mg per serving [2] and calls that 25% (it's actually 27.78% Soylent, check your math). That's way too much for an adult male if you have any other sources of iron. And it may be way too little if you're a woman with no other sources of iron.

Not to mention that all sources of iron (and other nutrients) aren't absorbed equally. Iron from plants is absorbed half as well as iron from meat -- since Soylent is vegan, should we put a discount on the %DV it says it provides?

This isn't an easy problem to tackle, but building a system that understands nutritional science and adapts the product accordingly would actually be a worthwhile endeavor. It would also mean manufacturing and testing in-house, which Soylent doesn't currently do either. Build something worthwhile, not a slick website hooked up to an outsourced assembly line.
