I don't think most people even have a concept of a "beta-style food," so it seems pretty unreasonable to expect them to infer that from Soylent's marketing.
It probably could.

But I'm not sure if brew has everything or is updated faster than nvm.
But there is a lot of porn I suspect that is not made in the USA or other countries with these legal frameworks in place and I suspect most people viewing it realistically do not really care where it is made (be honest!).

Prostitution on the other hand is always in the country where the service is provided. Big difference.

Why is electricity so hard to understand? (1989)
Thanks, oh all those fancy functions. I need to improve the interface a bit, as for now everything is only based on using uThreads as the unit of concurrency. e.g., this is a recursive Fibonacci: https://github.com/samanbarghi/uThreads/blob/master/test/Fib... and a fork-and-join Fibonacci: https://github.com/samanbarghi/uThreads/blob/master/test/Fib...

There is no fork-and-join in uThreads yet, and I created it using create and join. The interface will improve in the future :)
I thought this analysis[1] of how it might work based on the patents was really illuminating, and made at least some of the hype seem deserved.

Indeed. Is this because the infamous recent JavaScript bloatation isn't unique to JavaScript --- that OS developers too tend to rope in greater and greater amounts of libraries, frameworks, etc., to accomplish the same thing?

It's true that today's operating systems do more, but it's still drawing text and shapes on a two-dimensional screen. Do today's advances in multitasking, color, and so on, really need 1,000 times as much memory (100 MB) --- or even 100,000 times as much (10 GB)?

Ask HN: Have I been hacked?
For the past few weeks, I've noticed a pattern with the spam emails I receive.

Whatever email I send from my computer, regardless of what the topic is, I soon receive a spam email loosely related to it. So if I send an email to a client about payment, I receive some spam email with a title like, "Invoice attached".

Just now, I sent an email to a bank with which I'm opening an account, and a few minutes later, I got a spam TEXT on my cell phone telling me my account with this bank has been locked (no account even exists yet) and to visit this link to unlock it.
Nick Denton, libertarian!

Gawker loathed libertarians. Infamously so.

That is an interesting thing for Denton to say, but does he believe it or was he just trying to press Thiel's buttons?

I find Denton hard to understand. If he was really interested in the Technological Stagnation Hypothesis then why the sabotage? Does not compute. I saw a constant stream of attacks, personal and professional directed at anybody doing anything useful and I suspect he was Washington's Judas goat.
Adobe introduces Photoshop for Audios
Yes, the question of the "unbuilt factory" and the "untrained worker" is a good one. But also consider the unmade good and the unproduced service - things not created because they were not part of the smaller set of goods producible in a world with restricted trade.

Personally I think Steve Jobs was talking guff, if that's what he said. Most of the actual engineers and designers are in high-income countries - it's just the assembly and components that come from low-income places. Which is what you'd expect - the more labour-intensive a component or task is, the more you strive to minimize labour cost. And most of the cost of the iPhone is in components, research/overhead, and profit (things which mostly do not go to Chinese wage-earners!). The actual assembly is generally estimated at between 5% - 8% of the final cost, and done largely by 'semi-skilled' rote-task workers. Not the kind of jobs that pay high wages even in the US.

The idea of moving goods from the place where it's cheapest to make them (including extra investment), and moving it to the markets where it's most profitable to sell them, is indeed most of the point. It is sort of the idea of the best supply meeting the highest demand - the idea that we grow corn in a sunny field, not an arctic greenhouse, and ship it to the mill quoting the highest price. To require this to not occur is to require that the cost of making it is increased, or the demand for it is decreased.

I would argue generally that the 'barista economy' is not a case of a lack of investment in labour training, but rather a mis-investment. There are huge incentives - especially through federal and state grant and loan programs, and supports for state schools - for students to go into four-year universities and take some degree, any degree, regardless of how useful it actually is. So this results in a large amount of money being spent on a lot of "training" which never actually gets used. This takes up the time that would be spent on other, more relevant training, and causes dissatisfaction among "over-educated" people who feel that their expense of time and money was pointless. That's one of the big problems with a system that promises people lots of money for taking a degree, no matter what it is - it detaches people from the need to look at what jobs are actually available, and it suppresses other training that could have been more usefully done. It also does subsidize those companies which do use the training that has occurred, at the expense of everyone who's paid taxes and doesn't need the training that's offered. Arguably, the fact that tax money is taken off everybody and spent on bachelors of arts degrees is a disincentive to manufacturing and other industrial sectors.
Tesco is a bank for effectively the working poor, young and migrant workers that cannot open an account at a normal highstreet banks.

These are people who may have to pay rent more than once a month, have direct debits for bills and more likely than not not have an overdraft over 100£ if at all.

If your bills bounce you will end up with fines, and even a lower credit score than the one which prompted you to open an account with Tesco in the first place.

> Instead, think of replacements that have caused something to basically just disappear.

Okay, SSH and Telnet. SSH is not as simple to use as Telnet. Windows users have to download a client, even in 2016. Server key changes cause warnings. People are often using encrypted key pairs instead of password authentication.

These (network admins who care about BGP) are sophisticated users. A secure version of BGP is not going to be as simple for them to use. It's just not happening that way, that's the way it always goes with security. More security makes the product more difficult to use, and a secure version of BGP is going to be more difficult to use.

Yes, you can find examples of simpler products that have replaced more complicated products, but that's rather poor support for the idea that replacements must be simpler or they won't be accepted. We're replacing magnetic strips with chip & pin for our credit cards, which are more complicated for everyone. Unencrypted HTTP may never completely die out, but HTTPS is everywhere and is only getting more common.

Or if you want simpler examples, think of the smart phone replacing the flip phone (less battery life, more complicated, more expensive) or the MP3 player replacing the cassette player (more expensive, more complicated, you have to get a computer and rip your CDs or buy digital music online). Or think of locks replacing simple latches on doors, now you need to carry a house key with you.

Or if you want examples more similar to BGP, think about spanning tree protocol. It's simple and it gets the job done. It's also completely dead in the modern data center, replaced by things like the far more sophisticated software defined networking. BGP is headed for the same fate.
If it is a non issue, why is the EU banning it? I think you should rethink that one. Notice there are similar rules about the minimum time between using pesticide and harvest (afaik).

It helps to take a step back and see that the JS ecosystem is a bit crazy right now, but it is quickly becoming more sane and more mature.

For a long time, the tooling available for building complex JavaScript applications was limited. Unless you were Google; the Closure library and Closure Compiler provided tools for building large, complex JavaScript apps long before the current JS ecosystem got up to speed. But they were relatively difficult to learn, and the available documentation wasn't great.

Right now, the JS ecosystem is rapidly relearning and iterating on ideas and concepts that other language communities learned long ago. This isn't all bad, as the JS community does appear to be converging on a decent set of best practices. I've seen a lot of interested in code optimization, and reduction in the size of JS bundles sent across the wire to browsers. Rollup does a nice job here, and I've seen a renewed interest in the Closure Compiler - there's a Webpack plugin for it that does a good job of intergrating it into the JS build process.

I understand your frustration, though; if possible, maybe try not to worry about keeping up for now. Just use JS in a way that works for you, and in a year or two, check back in to see how things are going at the leading edge of the JS community. I can't say for sure, but I believe the pace of change will slow down a bit, and converge around a few major tools and frameworks.

I don't trust this author because the claim to be a scientist does not speak of her credentials, publication record, field of work. A data scientist does not have the same range of expertise and credibility as a biochemist. Furthermore, actively avoiding a label that one finds meaningless is non productive. Shod non Jews avoid Kosher labelling, or non Muslims avoid halal labels? Surely there is a devout athiest somewhere who does, the rest of us just ignore.
Technically, yes, but practically, no.

THEOREMS (the language of correct proofs) is in P; given a correct proof (possibly restricted to being in first-order logic), it can be verified in polynomial time. In the first-order logic case, all you have to do is read the proof from beginning to end and verify that each statement follows from either an axiom or an already-established statement. This is done entirely syntactically, requiring no knowledge of the underlying mathematics.

However, to do this requires formalizing the entire proof in machine-checkable format, which is a substantial undertaking even for relatively simple proofs and will likely take far longer than polynomial time.

"Makes you really wonder why Windows 2000 requires 128 MEGS to run."

Yeah, you just wait fifteen years when folks complain that the new laptop offerings max out at 16Gb. I need an order of magnitude more RAM, but I can't say I'm getting even twice the productivity I did in 1984. I use that extra RAM so that someone can serve me ads and bug me ad hoc through whatever chat app is fashionable at the time. If I'm lucky I'll use that RAM for something interesting like a VM. But most of the time I use it so that the Java runtime doesn't bog my machine down.

SSDs, OTOH, now there's something that has improved my productivity.
I wouldn't have posted this without checking. And as far as documentation goes, they say this attribute applies to "types" and the example they give is

where it actually is used outside of a struct so that this whole 6B thing is aligned to 8B instead of the default 2B.

> And, since it's Freud, one that won't turn my stomach?

Ah, a primitive emotion - fear - protecting you from the psychosomatic response (nausea) emanating from the id, the reptilian section responsible for protecting you from primal dangers (attack/rape).

That was a lame attempt to be meta, but I think one of his junk theories was the oedipus complex[1], the theory that children sexually lust for a parent. I think that one has mainly been discounted, but as another poster said, Freud sort of blew the lid off all the rapey things that were going on (people came to him with "hysteria", which was probably PTSD and anxiety, he asked them about their history, most of them were raped/molested/traumatized, and decided these rape victims needed a clean, palatable theoretical explanation instead of condemning their attackers).

Not all of his stuff was junk, though. His drive-defense model is still partially in use today (just google psychological defenses, see the list of them on wikipedia). What bugs me about Freud critics is they appear to bash him as if he's out there now, still practicing. He came up with this stuff 100 years ago, and just like pioneering medical doctors from 100 years ago (who aren't criticized even a fraction of Freud), his research is obsolete and has been replaced by more refined and sophisticated models. I dont know why so many people wont accept that: we dont remove an appendix the way we did in 1912, just as we dont treat depression the way Freud did. And we dont condemn 1912's surgeons as fools for not knowing what we know today.

Ya, I agree. Long-term effects are important. But AFAIK there's no indication of any long-term harm from Soylent. There's only an indication that a particular batch may have been contaminated.

This suggests not that they were careless in choosing their formulation or research, but that there was an error in the manufacturing process. This is something that can happen to any company, and has many times. Should they fix it? Yes. But I don't think they should be held to a higher standard here than anyone else.

It is unfortunate that the SDF and related groups (ie: YPG/J) never receive the same political and military recognition that their radical Islamist counterparts do.

Oh, I don't know, not counting those on the "Alt Right" (for which I'll define here as "the non-'neocon' Right, we have a lot more respect for the SDF in particular, the Kurds, not so much as soldiers vs. e.g. skirmishers), for tomorrow the rest of the US goes to vote to decide the outcome between one person who had a major hand in creating the contours of this outbreak of this conflict ("Hama Rules" reminds us it's quite a bit older than when any of these people having a role in it), and someone who'd be satisfied if the SDF and related groups terminate the Salafist-Jihadists et. al. with extreme prejudice and (start to?) return a semblance of peace to the region.

Hmmm, as for the latter case, it wouldn't be the first time a US president had a major fight on his hand with "his own" CIA....

That divide did not exist at the time. Intimate knowledge of the systems involved was a requirement to do either task. It wasn't until later that people were able to choose the set of abstractions that enabled them to focus on a task the the point that other considerations could be missed. People wrote entire bespoke operating systems to serve as early arpanet nodes. The arrival of unix was bemoaned by many because it removed this requirement for mastery -- this gave rise to the era of copy-and-paste systems administration and works-on-my-machine development.

We're still digging our way out of that hole, by implementing more layers of abstraction. Hence the current popularity of cloud computing: the ultimate copy-and-paste deployment, combined with works-on-my-machine development, where all machines can now be 'my machine'.
