Honestly, ports is one thing in new MacBooks I do not understand why everyone seems to nag about. Right, you will likely need some accessories for now. But in two years, when basically everything will work on USB-C and your computer will be in half of reasonable lifetime, it will be a bliss. I hate port multiplication and I'm happy Apple is in the front of moving to one standard.

On the other hand, I cannot seem to understand decision behind MagSafe, card reader and keyboard. Why? Everybody with a MacBook has a story about MagSafe saving his laptop from a fall. Cards are important for many people and they are not likely to go away. Esc is important and it could be incorporated in the new design - if they wanted to get rid of function keys, they could go all-in and just change the whole freaking design.

Also, I do not get their priorities. They made thing thinner, but I would much more appreciate if they made it smaller (smaller as bezel-free display like Dell did). I would gladly accept a bit thicker MacBook, if they put better battery in it and even better fans, so it stays cool.
You are right on the mechanism, wrong on the solution. The problem is that senescent cells (aging) are an evolved response to prevent cancer - basically aging is an anti-oncogenic system. Remove the senescent cells and you will die of cancer at a young age.

Aging and cancer are tightly intertwined and you can't cure aging without first curing cancer.

> The key to math education is practice. Even drilling, maybe.

Do you have any research to support that? Because from what I've seen we currently think that drilling does nothing to help with understanding, and that one of the problems people have with maths is applying the wrong technique to a problem because they don't understand the problem.

This is actually a big part of how MP3 compression works. Rather than using straight up data compression, it uses a psychoacoustic model to simplify different components of the signal that are affected by masking.

Anyone who struggles with digestion and still decided Soylent was a good idea probably deserves at least in some part the gastrointestinal stress that ensued.

There will never be "conclusive" science regarding how and what we eat without experimentation. Soylent is, regardless of how the founders frame it, an experiment. A fairly successful one, at that.

Obviously not completely successful, given that this story is about them utterly failing, but that failure is temporary. They will recover.

That's a bad move on the part of the company, because an underpaid person is a time-bomb.

From what I've seen, the problem often arise not with people hired at a low pay because they didn't know better, but hired at a low pay because that was the market price at the time. They end up having less pay than people with the same experience (or even less) who were hired later when the market salary was higher.

I'm pretty sure food science and studies of nutrition have been around a lot longer than Soylent.

Also, I see no reason why they should be cut any slack. It's not just a webapp that experiences downtime. When this goes wrong people get hurt.
>>It's not a question of being "natural" per se, it's the question of trace elements and how our body metabolizes food. Food is not just a pile of molecules, it's a particular organization of molecules. How your body digests it matters. A bunch of milled and refined powders of macronutrients is simply not the same as anything we've evolved to eat over the last X million years. How different is it? That's hard to say, but when the CEO is so dismissive of the fact that there are real subtleties here and nutrition science still has a long way to go, it's not confidence inspiring.

On the other hand, what you are saying here sounds extremely pseudo-science-y and hand-wavy. You're basically saying "well, 'real' food is different because something something molecules, it's hard to say exactly how but..."

Soylent CEO on the other hand is arguing from first principles:

- Our bodies need macro- and micro-nutrients
- We have a pretty good (although imperfect) understanding of how much of each we need to consume
- Therefore, we can probably get rid of all the extraneous stuff associated with nutrient consumption (prep, cooking, clean-up, etc.) and still achieve the same results

Maybe there is a lot of value in having lots of samples. People are more likely to give permission to get out of the fee than to get a discount.

Personally I'd increase the discount to around 10% (raising the base price to compensate) and have "Allow us to use this as a sample" checked by default; but I wonder what % of people have a strong reaction like the OP here.
In a word? No.
Thanks for posting this.

I have about 14 ThinkPads at last count. The earliest functional ThinkPad I still have is a T42p. The newest one is a X250. My favorite one is the high-resolution X61T (I have two).

There was a time when the build quality of ThinkPads was great, that time has passed. The quality has declined, while the Mac quality has increased. There is simply no comparison on this front anymore.

What is sad is that ThinkPads are still better than other, non-mac laptops. I feel sorry for anyone who uses a non-ThinkPad, or a non-Mac laptop.

I should add, as another side note / rabbit hole to those new to the art of 'fucking with brains through audio' — masking is also frequently put to use in mixing, particularly EDM and more percussive genres.

To help squeeze every last drop of perceived dynamic range out of a track you can use a technique known as sidechain compression (http://samplesfrommars.com/blogs/tips-tricks/18999227-how-to...) to dynamically compress other components of the mix in response to (usually) a kick drum.

There's afaik a rather big difference between freshly squeezed orange juice, and fruit juices that have been pasteurised. I'm not sure there's that big a difference between eating an orange and drinking the juice - other than the simple fact that the orange will contain "more stuff" that is "not sugar" than the juice - hence it'll be easier to increase sugar intake by drinking, say a litre of orange juice a day, and eating some food - rather than eating six(?) large oranges and being reasonably full.

2x Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU C2750 @ 2.40GHz

The ARM cores are slower - there was a thread a while back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9309459 the X86 servers are not very fast either: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11251671 but if you look at the numbers in that thread it's likely that DO overbooks their machines and if you are unlucky you can end up with slower performance than on Scaleway.

But for me it doesn't matter. I'm not doing heavy computational lifting and for nginx + some database it's fine and 2GB memory is pretty nice to have.

A minor annoyance is that you can't choose the kernel version and you are stuck on 4.5.7 at the moment - I guess if you care about local security priv escalation bugs it's a no go.

But docker seems to work and you can select a kernel flavour in the admin menu.

Another annoyance is only a /128 IPv6 address for the VPSs - but IIRC the dedicated boxes get a /48

But for 3€/month I'm more than happy - you usually only get OpenVZ VMs with ancient 2.6.36 kernel for that price if at all.
Bash on Windows isn't at all the same as Windows on Linux.

I do appreciate that they are trying to do as much as they think they can without throwing away the thing that they believe is the most valuable corporate asset they have: the mountain of stuff built over the years for Windows. They have carefully preserved this asset by making huge efforts to ensure than anything that worked on Windows in the past will keep working forever.

The thing is, what I wish they would do for me (which might not be what they need to do for themselves) is to take the equivalent of my Linux server and wrap a Windows API around it, the way a Mac is like a Linux server inside with a Mac API wrapped around it for client software usefulness. I'd be just as happy with a Windows GUI/API as a Mac GUI/API, but what I want is for it to resemble my servers under the GUI, so I can leverage whatever unixy skills and tools I may have.

Having a simulation of a unix shell on top of an NT core makes Windows more useful than it would otherwise be, but it's not the same as a Windows shell on a Linux kernel.
In some of these cases they don't have to. A 2% contraction to the economy would be detrimental, but on a 0 y-axis based graph, that wouldn't seem like much.

That's a fairly large assumption. Students need 24 years of education to get to Phd level before they reach the state of the art and push things forward.

My point was that you have to be careful in general. In the specific case of garlic, I don't draw the conclusion from your second link that it is "well known". There are some promising results for some of the individual diseases, but there are also many caveats. The conclusion states:

"Although it is shown that garlic may have a significant clinical potential either in their own right or as adjuvant therapy in different disorders, however, due to some issues, such as methodological inadequacies, small sample sizes, lack of information regarding dose rationale, variation between efficacy and effectiveness trials, the absence of a placebo comparator, or lack of control groups more standard experiments and researches are needed to confirm the beneficial effect of garlic in various diseases."
You can exclude coal and grain from the charts linked from your parent comment. There is still a significant drop.
Yup! This is called temporal masking [1].

There's also simultaneous or frequency masking. If you've ever wondered why loud noises prevent you from hearing something that would otherwise be perfectly audible (e.g. a loud motorcycle driving by your apartment can temporarily drown out a noisy air conditioner), that's why.

Both of these psychoacoustic concepts are used in perceptual audio encoders like MP3 - the idea being that certain bits can be discarded because the listener wouldn't be able to hear them anyway.

Not just religion. People cried when Princess Diana died. They cried on the anniversary of 9/11. And on 9/11 itself. People develop personal feelings towards popular people/events/concepts.

They made it very difficult for the average guy to get a mortgage.

The people buying the houses are wealthy. They have assets. They are buying more realestate as just another asset.

They, along with rich foreigners, are buying properties to rent out to most of us.(Hell, many foreigners are just buying homes, and letting them sit unoccupied.)

I think the Real-estate market will be fine for a long time. We will pay outragious rents, but that's the way it works--fun times?

Personally, I think mortgage qualification was better under Bush. I don't want to debate it. I don't think the crash was caused completely by letting the little guy own a home. Yes--they took the blame as usual.

I can't believe how quickly you guys are jumping to the conclusion of letting twitter die. It has a lot of value for common people to report problems and make them being noticed. For example, I've lost the count of how many people have gotten a better deal with companies that in the first place offered them a bad service / product, just by publicly reporting them on twitter.

Also lot of people get a quick support response just by typing "@company problem" no matter what company or the problem is. That's an incredibly easy way for users to solve many of their problems.

The world will keep going on without twitter for sure, but the hole that it will leave behind will be noticed.
I actually love Online.net and Scaleway. The problem is just that I personally prefer to have one strong core and not 8 slow cores since single thread performance is still the most relevant thing. Even though you get 2GB RAM for 3 EUR they are still shitty CPU cores. I mean you can't expect a lot for that price but I'd prefer a shared burstable E3 or E5 core over Avaton cores. Sicne Scaleway only offers these slow cores it's not useable for me even though I love them.
