Yeah, absolutely fair. I have a big issue with Medium articles being baits for selling something.

Overall, it was an okay article... at least they didn't try to sell us a product right from the article...
I guess I messed up the math the first time around because I'm getting something different this time.

* 45% of sunlight is in the photosynthetically active wavelength range

* Solar cells are 20% efficient

* Red LEDs are 39% efficient and blue LEDs are 35% efficient

So no, I was kind of off base there. Straight sunlight is still 6x more energy for plants. But it is close! 40% efficient panels exist and my LEDs efficiency numbers were from 2012 so the gap might be smaller. If you do this calculation yourself, remember to ignore lumens. They are a human perceptual unit and are completely meaningless for plants.

Now for human-visible light it is a little different. With the most efficient solar cells and white LEDs we can do better than the sun. (Straight sunlight is 93 lumens per watt. A 40% solar cell and 250 lumen/watt LED outperforms the sun.) Maybe this is what I was thinking of.
Almost two weeks late, but I thought about this more and I totally agree with you.

I should have said "JSON number's aren't machine numbers" (e.g. float, double, integer). But serialized, human-readable numbers are still numbers, so I was wrong.
Well I was open to evidence that applies generally, but sure.
Or that you can't paste a URL in the filename field of an open-file dialog... That's a really neat Windows feature I was using all the time. Now on OSX I have to right-click on a page/image, save it to my local drive, then go back to the dialog, navigate to the directory where I saved the file, and load that.
Sure: new restaurants that don't have many customers yet.
Blue Bell in Texas shut down for months due to listeria. Would that put some companies out of business? Maybe, that's ok. This is public health we're talking about.

Disrupt. Move fast and break things. Iterate iterate iterate. Fail fast. This may be okay when you're making a better spreadsheet, but not everything can be a startup.
Bring to table and then kill them. Youngest example I know: mass killing of Ukrainian soldiers in Illovaysk by Russian army after promising of fire cease. They break lot of laws, rules and memorandums before that, so one more/one less does not matter.

Wars begins where diplomacy ends. To return to diplomacy, defending party must demonstrate power first, to be considered as equal, to talk with. Few thousands of dead Russian soldiers forced Russia to Minks and diplomacy.
Except for when it is code. If you do something that is legal under the letter of the law or when the law is ambiguous you are supposed to be given the benefit of the doubt and granted leniency. If this wasn't the case then lawmakers would have no reason to write laws precisely.

It's the other situation where law stops being code. If you do something that is technically illegal but probably oughtn't be then the law can be reinterpreted in your favor.

Assuming you followed the absolute letter of the law with your totally-not-a-brothel then you would be fine (until the law is amended).
>Take, for example, GTA 5. I've probably spent more hours riding cars and bikes in GTA5's beautiful countryside and outback than playing actual missions. Just hours and hours of riding during rain or sunshine, dawn or dusk, in the city or the most remote mountains. It's beautiful and serene and made me realize that I don't really need dozens of hours of frantic gameplay.

You sound like you'd love the mostly open-world, graphic-centric (MMO)RPG genre! Something like Black Desert Online or FF14 Online. Where you can optionally focus on the story here or there and are mostly free to explore the world (although areas that outlevel you may be a bit dangerous...)

It's called "tiled window management". Lots of people find it more comfortable to use than the classic overlapping windows.

3 Reasons Why You Should Install Your Own Private Cloud

You'll search far and long to find a WIMP UI that looks better than the pre-colour Mac Finder. Actually the visual restraint of Sierra is a step back towards the cleanness that was lost when the Finder was colourised. The early version http://static6.businessinsider.com/image/4ffb37e469beddc9590... was tasteful but lost a little of the magic; later pre-OS-X redesigns were worse; Aqua was a carnival midway.

This is just an outdated view of the state-of-the-art. It's understandable, given that it's outdated by maybe six months, iff you're willing to go with preprints.

A hobbyist looking for something plug-and-play will still generally want lots of data; the cutting edge is not exactly "curl|bash"-able. But the papers coming out this year have been dispatching what I thought would be entire areas of study in a dozen pages, one after another after another.

Not only do I think it's a "when" and not an "if", I think the timelines people throw around date to "ancient" times - meaning, a few years ago. Given where were are right now, what we should be asking is whether "decades" should be plural.
If people are sufficiently economically stressed that they'll do things they hate for money, I think that's primarily a problem with the society. It might seem more acute when it's prostitution, rather than cleaning a toilet, but ultimately it's the same problem.
I'll note that (from personal experience in other areas of science) nearly any scientist whose passionate enough to be both an expert on the topic and care about writing something for the public can be dismissed with similar logic.
Look at this: https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5291/5481639542_1e342a5f69_b.j...

Now, we might get that correct 99% of the time. But, in close elections 1% is meaningful.
> Users should expect hiccups.

I had to read that twice before I understood that you didn't mean diaphragm contractions; I was really scratching my head as to why soylent users should expect hiccups!
If you watch the demo video, I'm showing a lot more of the functionality - for example the ability that when multiple users send emails via Ivelope, it turns the email into a reddit-like thread with different levels of indentation which is also, I think, the reason why Reddit won over traditional web forums - right now, email is like an old school web forum, but with Ivelope it turns emails into real discussion threads - one of the reasons that Reddit is one of the most popular places to discuss things on.

You also have the separation between emails from people and emails from computers (newsletters/promos) into a separate folder, which is displayed in an overview mode, where you can see the email instantly and also unsubscribe from ANY email with one click of a button :)

The idea behind general labeling is that you can decide to abstain from all GMOs if you so wish. Almost no one is qualified to determine which GMOs are ok based on sepcific changes to the DNA.
And not a single mention of any of the open source CAD tools available. Pointless article.
I was searching for something like that.

Is the content itself scraped?

I didn't get many leads to keywords like rimming and rimjob, or they were irrelevant. For actresses it's perfect.
I think you missed the point of my comment. These are not my concerns. In my opinion we should encourage GMOs while making sure we do so responsibly.

My problem is that this article is polarizing the discussion.

By leaving out the core of anti GMO concerns it lets the pro GMO people feel justified in their position. But the other side will not see their concerns addressed, and will discard the article as stupid, and missing the point, feeling equally justified in their position.

To (1) actually the eu merely regulates GMOs, and by default they are not allowed. Today 51 GMO products are allowed, including 1 that has a herbicide (mon810). I would hope that the strictness of checking and data would depend on a case by case basis.

(2) for me is not a concern. In the wild GMOs will not do better than non GMOs, probably even worse, because the traits added by GMO do cost the plant. It is not like we can create zombie maize. But of course, we do need to apply caution. Think about Australia where foreign plants do become pests pushing existing plants out of the ecosystem.
Don't they all?

Do you think other food businesses have the source code for human nutrition and do white-box testing on their product?

Of course they do trial and error! It's just that most of the errors happened far in the past.

Brian Flat 3 Week Diet Meal Plan Review Three Week Diet Plan
While I disagree with the author, I believe his intent was to claim that bird watchers, Paleo dieters and minimalists are similar in that talking about their respective activities is just as important as participating in it.

"And, as with watching birds or going Paleo, talking about [minimalism] is just as important as actually doing it."
Sigh. Talk about hiding keyboard shortcuts.
What is it written in?
Right, but the point is that __someone__ has to set that up. Internally, you could use Kubernetes to build something very similar to this. But, then you have to support that yourself and need to hire people to manage that. As Hyper advertises, this takes away from your concern as a software developer: software development.

Hyper allows for the creation of a minimum viable product that you can move around. I can start on Hyper and then move to pure AWS/Kubernetes/mesos/swarm when and if I determine it makes sense to have people spending time managing the AWS infrastructure and handling deployments.

I haven't used Hyper, but this idea is really cool in principle. I'm excited to see how well they actually do it. It really seems like the Heroku of containers.
Firebase gets better analytics, crash reporting and more
I just wish they would write about it only a few years after they have started to go minimalist and have actually lived it. There are so many articles who write how great being minimalist is two weeks after they have sold their car or whatever.
Milkweed, like other weeds, can stifle crop yield, so farmers don’t like it

Sounds like this isn't a fundamental problem with GMO's, it just allows farmers to fight milkweed more effectively than they could before. The best solution is to balance both interests, not to tie the hands of farmers or to eliminate milkweed. (I'm not sure how we do that)

a 2007 congressional ethanol mandate increased the price of corn and soybeans, which encouraged farmers to convert grassland -- where milkweed grows -- into cropland

Sounds like a policy problem, not a GMO problem?

This makes absolutely no sense. "free-range" is a question about chicken health, not egg safety.
I actually love how window panes work in blender. It's a bit nonstandard, but once you get the hang of it you realize how powerful it is. It makes the entire interface customizable, and I actually miss it every time I move into another application like photoshop.

I can't think of any chemical reactions like that off the top of my head. Some times different chemicals or the same chemical from different foods will reinforce each other.

Mixing Laxatives like prune juice and pineapples can have a stronger effect. Having two new foods that would both produce gas get's a significantly stronger reaction together. Excessive lean meat consumption can cause problems due to protein poisoning. There are also some poisons that act together.
Windows 3.1 didn't have a combined file manager/program launcher. Instead, there were two different apps. There was the program manager:

http://toastytech.com/guis/win31progman3.png

Those icons don't represent files; they are 'program items', i.e. launchers.

This was the file manager:

http://toastytech.com/guis/win31winfile.png

You could launch programs from this, but only if you knew where they were installed and were willing to navigate there and then figure out which cryptically named .exe file it was. And, yes, the windows-in-windows organisation of both applications was a mess. Losing entire subwindows off the side of the program manager because you'd placed them somewhere and then resized the outer window, making them invisible, was totally a thing.

The classic Mac, with its combined file manager and program launcher, and its single-file applications (usually), and its human readable filenames, and generally a whole bunch of little subtle usability features such as the way that icons remembered whether they'd been placed manually or had been autoplaced, was enormously better.
UTF-8 was also designed under rather severe restrictions: you want to keep binary compatibility with 7-bit ASCII, i.e. 128 out of 256 possible byte values are taken and you want to encode the entirety of Unicode including any future additions. This means you need variable-length encoding. You also want to detect if the stream is well-formed and you want to detect if you're starting decoding in the middle of a character. UTF-8 is one of very few possible solutions that cover all requirements.

BGP had a lot more to work with since you're designing an entire protocol that doesn't need any backwards compatibility with anything else.
This isn't just food, but grapefruit juice alters the absorption of other chemicals; there are drugs that while you are taking them you can't have grapefruit juice, as it will screw with the effective dosage you get.

I recall hearing, also, that if you need both Calcium and Magnesium supplements they're better taken at separate times, as they compete for uptake due to both being +2 ions.

No links to the book in the article. There's a branded link to Ancestry.com in the article, though. But no indication of where to go once you get there. Incredibly irritating when the headline of the article is about something being published online.

see ::: ''Stop “Gene Spills” Before They Happen''
https://www.technologyreview.com/s/602633/stop-gene-spills-b...

from the link:

"There’s already a precedent for using patents to limit the spread of gene-drive technology. In September, Monsanto purchased a license to CRISPR patents from the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard in order to genetically engineer new plants. But that license came with an extraordinary proviso: Monsanto was “prohibited” from developing a gene drive. The Broad Institute noted, in a statement explaining the restrictions, that gene drives have “the potential to disrupt ecosystems.”

Esvelt first worked out the idea for a CRISPR gene drive in 2014 and filed his patent. He did his work mostly on paper. But his fears of risky lab work were realized a few months later when a lab in California arrived at the idea independently and used it to turn black fruit flies yellow, implementing less than perfect safety controls.

What if one of the flies had escaped? “My nightmare is a wave of yellow flies spreading across the country,” says Esvelt. He imagines a corresponding wave of negative media coverage and loss of trust in scientists.

It sounds like you're suggesting that a lot of system admin/developer types that were left in a room without adult supervision and, oops, the Internet!

The truth was that there was no lack of experienced architect/developer types at the time working on networking standards. The OSI model, for example, traces its roots back to 1977! The struggle was that the "adults in the room" were typically were older and held senior positions in large corporations and government agencies. The standards that they created were typically developed through a consensus protocol and by committee where the single biggest aim was to make sure that no company would gain or lose a competitive advantage based on the standard.

These standards were always pitched as being just over the horizon and, if anything, did a lot of early damage by delaying rollout of simpler protocols. I personally won't ever get back the hours that I spent studying protocols that were never relevant and never would be.
The root cause of a lot of this is how complex ballots are in American elections. For comparison, this is what a ballot looks like in a Canadian federal election:

http://www.capyouthvote.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/ballo...

The reason ours are simpler is because the elections are simpler: we just elect our local member of parliament. At the federal and provincial levels, that's the only decision to make in an election. We don't vote for senators or judges or any other offices at these levels. Instead, these are appointed by parliament.

The municipal elections have the most options because there we elect mayors, city councillors and school board trustees. But they're still just paper "put an X next to the name" ballots that are manually counted.
I think they're evading the question.
Ask HN: Have any companies on here used Triplebyte?
I wanted to learn more about what it is like to hire from Triplebyte.
Not really... Option is the standard Mac way of modifying a command. In this case the modification is "place these here and remove the originals".

It's only "cut" on Windows because it's a leaky abstraction from a document based approach. That makes no sense in a filesystem. It would be extraordinarily strange for Apple to have ported that broken abstraction.

The "cut" shortcut works as you'd expect in document-based programs.

I haven't freelanced in ~5 years, but while I was based overseas in a _very_ inexpensive living situation, I scraped by on $35/hour doing WP development (urk...) and infrastructure work (now "devops", though we hadn't come up with that moniker yet). I'm currently fulltime employed; if I were freelancing I'd charge >5x that amount.
Thank you for your comment! I agree that filtering and priority settings are very important, maybe it wasn't clear enough but there are two animations with active (if you send a question in an email and are waiting for an answer the email will be marked as active) & inactive emails and the drag & drop filtering option.

Some people has said that they prefer native-apps and I still haven't decided if this will be a web app or a native app (using Electron, which for example Visual Studio Code is built with). The design will be fixed and probably next week I'll have updated the landing page with a more modern design.

Thanks for all your feedback and yes - email is a mission critical app and the target audience is people spend a lot of time with email so saving a lot of time and effort in that department would be worth paying for for some people.
Those are great links! But the 2008 Hinton paper would not be considered deep learning, it is classic neural nets. It makes no mention of CNNs or GPUs, which is what really got this all going back in 2012 with ImageNet / Krizhevsky.

The ImageNet paper is from 2012, not 2010. That's when the computer vision community really went "wow". IIRC, almost every entry in ImageNet 2013 was using CNNs.
