You are, but it's a responsibility you chose.

If I choose to go camping instead, should my company pay for the permit because not having one would be a criminal act?

> And I think since our children are important, both for families and society in the present and future - I don't think folks should be punished for doing so.

So let's raise everyone's taxes to reimburse private companies for the cost. But let's not punish companies for hiring parents.
Soylent is like birth control for food: it lets you choose whether food is going to be for pleasure or for sustenance. I eat it often because it's healthy, quick, and I actually enjoy it. That said, I also very much enjoy food with family and friends. They're too completely different things though, but previously we had to use the same tools for both needs.
Really? When Soylent was first announced, I'm pretty sure I read something where Rhinehart was positioning Soylent as the primary source of meals, with the occasional real meal thrown in as a luxury.

I find the lack of at least one legacy USB port extremely worrying. Will the following work with a USB to Firewire/USB-C dongle?

* boot from USB (bootable CarbonCopyCloner backup)

* Yubikey (government issued, so I can't easily get an updated key)

* Kensington R800 presenter (supposedly, it's "just a USB keyboard", but I've had it not work via Bluetooth dongle or with the USB to Lightning dongle for the iPad, even though regular USB keyboards work)
Ok so taken literally, that was a bad example. But instead of giving me a textbook of problems where I solve y = mx + b, can I use mathematical concepts in a creative capacity? To do things I care about as a high schooler? Can I see those concepts on my device today?

* Logitech K 300

* Microsoft -god-knows-what-it-was-called- from back in the day.

In all cases, I experienced stuttering or dropouts of my input at high speeds. This did not happen all the time, but it was frequent enough where I felt the need to go back to a wired keyboard (currently Filco Majestouch). Maybe I had a bad batch, or something was interfering with the signals in my homes. Either way, I don't plan on recommending wireless alternatives for quite some time.
I look at my keyboard when I use function keys (no muscle memory) and some symbols I rarely use. Does that make me a bad person? Sorry.

As someone with a herb allergy, I cook basically every single meal I eat. It gets old quickly.

Take away is almost a non option bar the maccas cheeseburger.

Soylent is one of the most freeing things for me. It means I don't need to worry about my next meal, and I can just gulp down an tasty drink.

Sure I love a well cooked steak, but sometimes you need a break from cooking.
The name "soylent" comes from Soylent Green, a 1973 sci fi film about overpopulation, where people survive by eating mass-produced plankton, which later turns out to be made out of old people.

Naming a product "soylent" has always struck me as borderline sociopath. In this light, the company’s slogan "healthy, convenient, affordable food" is an outright mockery of its costumers.
"Deconstructed essence of cuisine"?

I couldn't agree more. Food is one of the most accessible luxuries. The most expensive meals, with fine wine, cost less than most business class tickets (to wherever). On the other hand, a soft cooked egg on a piece of toasted bread after a workout can be just as delicious and costs pennies, available to all.

Next they're going to tell us they've found a way to eliminate that pesky sexual reproduction that's been plaguing us...
Our eventual extinction is a given. Asteroids, nuclear war, climate change, our sun going red giant, eventual heat death of the universe... something will eventually happen. Is the cost of making extinction come a second earlier infinite? No. Years earlier? No. A huge cost to be sure, but not infinite.

Stagnation is simply a gamble of a different sort. What if strong AI is what's required to survive our next possible extinction event? I could easily see it - something as simple as spotting incoming asteroids before our current techniques and manpower can, for example. If we risk ending civilization a few years early for the chance at extending it a few more millennia, is that worth it? Depends on the chances and your priorities.

> either you know that you won't fall all the way (you have a parachute, etc)

Parachutes fail - this is a gamble. Some people think parachuting worth doing anyways. And if there's a wildfire right behind you, depending on the height, you might risk a high jump even without a parachute.

No, if we lived forever, we would have to make a lot more hard choices, because we would have so much more time to be exposed to them.
Maybe it's because I've gone for the biggest phones as daily drivers for a while now (Note series => Nexus 6 => Plus), but 1 hand is a total non-issue for me.

I just shift the phone around in my palm. Even with an oversized Otterbox like case I put it in from time to time I'm able to reach 80% of the screen with my thumb, and I reach around with my other 4 fingers to reach the rest of it.

Pretty similar to how I use/used my Nexus 6 one handed, and it was a little bigger than the Plus

> A beautiful pan sauce from a well timed reduction.

Well timed reduction? Sorry, don't know what that means, please explain?
Not to mention, a major part of digestion begins in the mouth. Saliva breaks food down and prepares it to be broken down in the stomach, so that it can be assimilated in the intestines.

When you consume liquid calories, you miss out on this important part of the digestive process (and subsequently lose out on absorbing a portion of the nutrients), unless you are "simulate chewing" or leave the liquids in your mouth long enough for the salivary enzymes to "get to work."

Granted, this doesn't mean you can't survive off of liquid calories, but digestive issues are bound to happen. Nutrient-dense, whole foods should always be the first option.
Apple is a better fit. Google already has Youtube and Youtube Comments. Apple has AppleTV but doesnt control the metaconversation around their content they host. If Apple wants to be a part of live-reality, Periscope+iPhone puts them in a good position against Facebook.

They also both have somewhat stagnant software innovation right now, so they could grow old slowly together. But more importantly, Apple could run Twitter at a loss as a data platform around their product.
I'm really not into food. I force myself to eat. If it wasn't for me trying to bulk up I'd eat just one meal a day and be fine. I force myself to eat 2800 to 3000 calories per day and it's a HUGE pain in the ass. Since I first heard about Soylent I wished they'd start selling Here in Brazil. This report doesn't change that.
Great, but he's talking about fairness and not "market rate," which are two distinct concepts.

Wrong, it came from the book Make Room! Make Room! by Harry Harrison in which "Soylent Green" is based off of.

However, in the book the soylent is not made from people. The movie added that for....drama
If the consideration is that they made the product work for his use case, then that's not corruption in any meaningful sense of the word. That is exactly the behavior you want to reward companies for.
I think you should look the word "meritocratic" up in a dictionary.

Open salaries would give you precisely the leverage you need to reduce those employees' salaries. "Your initial salary was X, expecting better-than-average performance. Your performance has been comparable to Amy and Ben, so your salary now matches theirs." They would either accept the reduction or would leave, without you having to fire them.

The bigger problem would be it would tend to reduce the variance in salaries (why does Carl get 50% more than I do?), which may result in under-paying top performers, reducing their incentive to stay.
Guessing you're in Australia by the maccas. Which Soylent do you drink? I've tried multiple flavours of a few local ones and they all universally taste like liquid sawdust.
Most of the new fancy techniques for learning multiplication and so on assume the student knows the tables.

For example, take a look at this lesson: http://www.homeschoolmath.net/teaching/md/distributive.php

Ignore the stupid rectangles, and ignore the part where it says "They actually use the distributive property, but we do not need to explain that to 4th grade students." (seriously, wtf)

A child who practices lots of sums, such that she knows how to add 420 and 56 without counting with their fingers or writing things down, will be able to learn this kind of multiplication with ease. Once they learn that and practice a lot, they will be able to generalize the method to multiply any two two-digit numbers.

Memorizing things is important because if you have to count with your fingers to calculate 3x3, you will never be able to calculate, for example, 23 squared in your head. But if you know the times tables your thought process might look like this:

20x20 = 400

23x20 = 400 + 60

23x23 = 460 + 23x3 = 460 + 69 = 529

(23 times 3 is "the hard part" where most kids who know all the theory (distributive property) but are out of practice (not enough rote memorization) will lose track)

A more advanced example is what engineers used to do a lot before they had calculators: They memorized log tables, so when they wanted to multiply big numbers they just added their logs together, because log(a x b) = log(a) + log(b).

An unrelated example is converting miles to kilometers. The official relationship is that a mile equals 1.609 kilometers, an ugly number that doesn't work well with mental arithmetic. But that number is kinda close to the golden ratio, don't you think? So if you are the kind of weirdo who memorizes the Fibonacci sequence, you can quickly calculate that 13 miles should be about 21 kilometers (and 21 miles is about 34km, and so on), because the ratio between a Fibonacci number and the next approaches phi.
The latest version of Soylent powder is the best-tasting version to date and I get no uneasy feeling from it. The original powder versions I could more easily believe gastro issues, so I'm surprised this is cropping up now rather than before, but I guess it could be ingredient/allergy-specific.

I tend to eat 3000 calories to maintain my weight so Soylent is great for my busy schedule. I'm still eating 1500-2000 calories of regular food per day, which is certainly enough. I don't get why people keep harping on the all-or-nothing idea behind Soylent. Most people advocate this as part of a balanced diet.

Even if Soylent isn't perfect, I'd rather down something the FDA considers a food than an excess of weight gainers/protein bars/protein powder supplements filled with ingredients I don't want. That being said, I could throw oats, protein powder, peanut butter, milk, and a banana in a blender.. but that's not necessarily something I want to do consistently.

I also consider Soylent a bang for the buck when looking at things at price per 100 calories. Soylent 2.0 is far tastier, but I find it annoying that you have to get a ton of heavy bottles shipped to you and it's more expensive.

Actually, one-third is a pretty small number in the grand scheme of things. Drop it down to zero (asymptotically difficult) and carrying capacity rises by 50%.

Switch the meat eaters over to grain & legumes (with minimal fresh vegetables), and it rises by something in the 200-1000% range.

I absolutely love food and I'd say a significant amount of my hobby budget goes into food and cooking supplies.

I was an early Soylent supporter because my wife and I were curious about it and thought it might be inexpensive and sensible to replace our lunch meals with it. If we both worked through lunch, hilariously, we could have had an extra hour to spend cooking dinner.

Not every meal of my day needs to be a fine dining experience.

Also, my wife was pregnant, and having a lot of random food aversions. The idea of something you could just sort of mindlessly drink was appealing to her.

She tried it once and really hated it. I tried it twice and also really hated it. So it didn't stick for us, but I liked the idea of it. I brought it to the place I was working at the time and one of the engineers there really took to it, ate all the rest of it over the course of a few weeks. Different strokes.
I get why some people want to "let someone else decide what I eat" - life has too many decisions already after all. But I've gone the smoothy route, where I have the main ingredients of Soylent but with the added benefit of fresh fruit and veggies. I have one or two smoothies each day, so it's at least half of my caloric intake.

However, this time of year I just love the fresh vegetables available at the farmers market at great prices. Some go into smoothies but most I bake or stirfry. I eat with rice or beans and that's my dinner most every day.
As a developer and a digital artist I am often running multiple VMs, my various development tools and 2-5 Adobe products on top of my 2 browsers and other misc programs. Agreed that for any single piece of digital design software 16gb should be enough (even to a certain extent After Effects). But if I could have a high quality laptop, that runs Adobe software, is Unix-y AND run the whole Adobe suite plus my development tools... (whilst not having to close all my research notes in Firefox)... gee whizz would I throw my money at that.

I'm probably an outlier though so can understand why it doesnt exist.

Having entirely lived on Soylent for a full year and having went back to solid foods with no weaning period and no ill effects, I doubt the veracity of your unsubstantiated claims.
There's proto.io that does both well (and it has timeline animation which is great).
I wonder if this applies to Huel (https://huel.com), essentially the British version of Soylent.
that's just not true. slashdot taught us you can intake data, have humans tag it with metadata, and then let the viewer sort the data based on their own preferences and parameters. and that it works really really well. reddit/hackernews are a simplification of that idea brewed down to just upvote/downvote/flag.

twitter is unnavigatable by itself in any sort of abstract high level way. that doesnt mean you cant use software to parse, sort, and display the content in a more organized manner. the first step is to get people to tag and describe the data that exists.
I've been drinking only protein shakes for breakfast for years, and recently the Coffiest product from Soylent. My poops are coming out just fine (of course I'm having regular solid food for lunch and dinner, and for all my meals on the weekend).
I'm genuinely surprised at when this was written. Without the year in the title, I would have easy guessed 2010 or later:

> 1.2X improvement doesn't even get your customer to raise his head from what he's doing. A 2-3X improvement may get them to look you in the eye. 10X improvements cause people to reach for their wallet.

The intrusiveness of the registry in terms of database configuration depends on which RDBMS you're using.

I use it with PostgreSQL and I don't use a separate database for the registry. I do have a separate schema for the registry in the same database as the data, but I would want that sort of organization no matter the case. If the database you use doesn't include some sense of "schema" below the database level of separation, I could see how that would be annoying from an administrative/maintenance point of view (or on hosted database solutions).
I agree so much! Many chefs, when asked what they love most the answer is simple. It's almost always some form of an egg. Great food doesn't have to be expensive or with win or be complex. In fact, very often the best things are simple and fast.

We live in an era where these things are readily available and they're really easy to make and to be delicious thanks to an abundance of spices and endless styles of fats.

I enjoy so much an egg fried in a small amount of butter until the edges are crispy on a piece of rye toast. A slice of tomato with a dash of ground pepper on top. Total cost: 50 cents tops? Total time: 4 minutes? Dishes: A non-stick pan that takes 10 seconds to clean?

It has never been more accessible or easy to not only cook but discover how to cook thanks to global shipping and the Internet than today. And we are left with a slurry of questionable nutrients as the future? OK fine - but I refuse.
I don't think it's as clear as you're making it out to be. Any kind of targeted content grooming is inevitably going to form a bubble of advertising and news that, according to the algorithm, fits your profile the best.

Xcode can emulate it, so it's probably possible.
The FDA regulates more than just food: drugs, cosmetics, vitamins, supplements.

How are the getting around it? Is it classified as a supplement? "Not for human consumption"?
I recently read about a house sold in San Francisco for 19.1m. This is the first time it has been on the market since 1971, when it was sold for 131k, which is 991k "inflation adjusted". Either there's more inflation than the official statistics, or there is a systemic bubble that will lead to the first default of the entire US economy in 35-40 years.

I've been on soylent for almost 2 years and I love it. It used to be such a pain working from home and dealing with breakfast, which I usually would skip and lunch which I would be reheating leftovers or whatever I could put together. It's so much better to just crack open a soylent, chug it and move on. It's always consistent I don't have to think about it. I do one 'normal food' meal a day, Mon - Fri.
+1. I could eat a sandwich every day for every meal. I don't, but I certainly could.
Every time Soylent is on HN people say this.

Why don't people understand? It's so simple: Soylent is for meals you don't care about but need. It's not a) the ONLY food you can eat or b) supposed to replace all meals.

I order a box of Soylent bottles every few weeks—they come in handy while working or for a quick breakfast or if I have little time and am hungry. I also cook meals with my girlfriend a few times a week and go out to dinner every weekend. Both things can exist at the same time.

It's just a nutritious drink you can drink at any time if you need to. If you want to make it most of our meals, sure go ahead. But no one says you must.
