Innovation in food manufacturing != innovation in end-user food preparation. Those are two different things.

> Look at a loaf of bread sitting on the shelf. It will have 20+ ingredients! Many of them synthetic or unnatural. And it's not just these things added but the process of how it is made that it makes it "not bread".

How "synthetic" they are depends on a bread (toast bread vs. normal, etc.), but a reminder - "bread" is not an atomic ingredient; even the most "natural" one would have a bunch of them on the label. Also, note the ingredients of a perfectly natural banana:

The point being, many people - myself included - consider preparing many of our meals a chore, not a pleasure. Preparing a fancy dinner every now and then is cool, but having to do that every day cuts into free time we'd like to use for something more interesting. I don't see why so many people have a problem with that.
The IRS views crypto currency as property. In that context, they provided this recently:

https://www.irs.gov/uac/newsroom/irs-virtual-currency-guidan...

Which links to:
https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-drop/n-14-21.pdf

TL;DR - it's not currency, it's property, and as taxed as such in all ways (including recognizing gain/loss).

Specifically re: your question:

> Q-6: Does a taxpayer have gain or loss upon an exchange of virtual currency for
other property?

> A-6: Yes. If the fair market value of property received in exchange for virtual currency
exceeds the taxpayer’s adjusted basis of the virtual currency, the taxpayer has taxable
gain.
Even if that's true, they still care about losing users -- users are inventory!
It looks like Google got all lookalikes, because I just tried with a Greek ο and that's also registered by them.

> tuning out the abstract arts and sciences and... oh, the humanities

Kind of ironic you say that, since the humanities programs themselves "tune out" all recognition to Eastern/South American/African art and humanities. I took 3 required "western traditions" classes, and except for a brief study of sumerian/egyptian cultures, the vast majority centered around dead white men.
Honestly, it’s a great article. That said, there’s nothing wrong with nils in tables in Lua if you know what you’re doing. Yes, they can introduce weird behaviors, (particularly with the # operator) but if you understand how next, pairs, ipairs, and # work, which are required if you want predictable table iteration behavior in Lua, then this shouldn’t be an issue.

I think it’s dangerous to say that nils terminate tables if you’re not going to explain table iteration in Lua.

Edit: Here's a picture example showing how easily nils can cause confusion if you're using a #table based loop. https://i.imgur.com/qW0XoSs.png

for i,v in pairs(table) will go through an entire table.

for i,v in ipairs(table) will stop at a nil. It's meant for consistent behavior in tables with numerical indices.
How Confirmation Bias Affects Technical Interviews
Straight to the Source – How Twitter Is Uniquely Positioned to Stop Fake News
Personally I started getting into cooking through doing it once a week (usually Sunday night) and using it to save money by making enough for 2-3 meals a week.

One key to doing a weekly cooking time is setting aside the time to do it leisurely. If you're not rushing because you're hungry or in the middle of a busy week you can prep/cleanup properly (I use the time to cleanup my kitchen before the week a bit too).

I save money, eat a bit better, and clean my kitchen more often because I took 1-2 hours out of my weekend during a time I'd just be sitting around mourning the end of the weekend anyway.

I don't do it every weekend if I exhausted myself during the day with other projects... but I used to HATE cooking but I've really started looking forward to it. The end result is really satisfying and I feel like it produces a small ongoing feeling of accomplishment that I've really been missing.
Not sure if it's the same service, but if you're using Google as your registrar, DNS seems to be included... would be surprised if it wasn't the same infrastructure.

Is the $150k fine arts degree really that common? These are the anecdotes we see in the news, because they stoke populist outrage and generate rage clicks. But I think they barely register in the overall stats. My completely unfounded opinion based on personal experience is that most humanities or fine arts students come from families that actually more or less can afford it anyway.
They tend to buy what their customers use, not necessarily their own clients. They probably identified DYN as a common provider among a subset of their customers and thought it would make for a good acquisition.
> But I've found that both your life, and the life of your children is better when you integrate them into the work that needs done and the life you want to live, and do not treat spending time with them as a separate activity.

This!

We have so much fragmentation on roles already, it is increasingly harder to find time to do things with our children, for both teaching and spending time with them. Cooking is that one thing that can build this relationship, teaching (and entrusting) the child to deal with potentially dangerous tools yet yielding a result that is immediately appreciable.

I'm living with a friend who also works from home, so I get a bit "kitchen-talk" every day with him.

Yeah, yeah, the neoliberal global order is falling apart and we all applaud. The fact that over the past 20 years it saw the largest reduction in global poverty and inequality in world history? Doesn't matter: it made middle class tech-savy people in industrialized countries feel slightly constrained, so we're cheering as it burns.
'Humans can live without a group identity or identify as living beings instead of being a "proud $skin_color $religion $nationality $gender".'

I think you may wish that was the case, but the evidence for this is rather lacking.

Even the people who think they identify that way actually identify as people who identify that way and freely indulge in "othering" the people who choose a different identity basis.

Okay, I think I understand: it's a question of disproportionate power. It takes a single (or few) users to flag something as an 'ad' on easylist.

I want to argue that this is nothing more than user-feedback. From that perspective, 'EasyList' becomes a destructive test: if my content can't pass EasyList standards, we have a catastrophic failure. This is a good thing, because we want to know which designs are incompatible with internet-business ('fail fast' as the kids say).

If you want to design the most resilient things, build them in the most dangerous environments. Your revenue stream should be very resilient. Lashing out against the environment strikes me as a poor strategic decision, especially when there's a simple way of making sponsorship more palatable for your users.

How to Learn Machine Learning, the Self-Starter Way
Ive been working remotely for almost the same time as you. I do miss some of the interactions but I've replaced them with connecting with other tech folk through social media and going to local meetups. Almost as good.
Injured old phones would be less laggy with slightly different SQLite setup. I think one could further optimize android/sqlite interaction to make it more efficient too.
I think there is some overlap with Jekyll.
Personally, Jekyll works better for me atm, as it produces static content, can be hosted for free on github or cheaply on s3 and has a bigger community and backing of github engineering. So perhaps, it's worthwhile to try and figure out jekyll-lite or something like that?
For me setting up jekyll was a pain, I had to get ruby, rubygems, jekyll itself and then a manual config intervention to make it work for me.
If this could be simplified that would be a huge improvement.
I went back in 2010. My first contact with it was when my employer, a MS partner got an early access to it, still on Alpha stage.

Nowadays I would rather do .NET projects than Java ones, as I already have the language and toolchain features today at my disposal that will only be available (with luck) on Java 10.

Also because neither Sun or Oracle really understand what native development should be like.

JavaFX has everything to compete with XAML, yet it really needs some love.
hmm, i'm not sure what blue popup you're talking about. Can you screenshot maybe?
There will never be agreement what's the set of distinct characters (also, what characters should be included, bitcoin logo, facebook logo?)). I see Unicode as a necessary evil. Due to its complexity most applications should treat Unicode text as black boxes.

I never rely on Unicode for computation. When receiving Unicode I always make sure it's in the ASCII range. It could be argued that there should never have been Unicode domain names but I guess Western people are very lucky that ASCII includes most of their characters...
I've run into many people who share this sentiment, and it always surprises me. I've never once met a person who was cheerful about experiencing algorithm-driven prevenge. I think it's very easy to sit back and say "I think we should let this happen!" if they've never knowingly experienced loss based on this phenomenon.

A great example is how very resentful many young white men of college age are that universities are requiring them to take sensitivity courses designed to reduce the instance of campus rape, but strictly speaking men of that age are the overwhelming majority of bad actors in that environment. Statistically and logistically speaking, it's smarter and cheaper to just require all men of college age to take courses reminding them that rape is not okay rather than dealing with the moral, legal and healthcare costs of the alternative.

In some cases, our relatively primitive algorithms pick up on correlations that should not be acted on because we're actively working to correct them. For example, it would be inappropriate to pre-reject job applications based on skin color if in a certain culture, it's less likely for that person to have a college degree.

Even if that insight is correct, it's usually part of something that society hopes to correct or that applicants should be given the benefit of the doubt about, otherwise very serious negative responses will emerge.

Acting on existing categories may reinforce. It may not. For now, it's a case-by-case basis we'll have to act on. Maybe one day, modeling techniques and data sources will become sophisticated and robust enough to make every decision for us. That day is not today.
I have not been tempted by such products in the least. I frankly find it personally unappealing in the extreme. The easiest thing in the world to cook is eggs, which I could eat all the time. I also live within walking distance of not one, but two grocery stores. My wife likes to cook and pick out her favorite organic foods. I prefer to look at the unit price and go for the lowest. Restaurant food is nice, but it ends up being very much more expensive on a monthly basis if you eat it too much. Today is our anniversary and in the break between conference calls this morning, I've already been to the store and back with fresh cut steaks to put on the grill after work. We're going to eat so good tonight and at a fraction of the cost of a eating out for our special night which is appealing to both my wife and me.
Whoops! I only skimmed the comments, sorry my bad.

I'm amazed at how many people use Soylent. IMO its a very poor meal replacement. Their key ingredient is Maltodextrin which is a heavily processed sugar that is often marketed as a healthy complex carbohydrate. You may as well be pounding back dextrose (corn syrup).

I urge any HN users that use Soylent to really give meal preparation a try. You can prepare a dozen health meals in half an hour on Sunday night and your lunches and snacks for a whole week will be good to go.
Another fun application of Perlin noise is fake fluid dynamics. If you take the curl of a Perlin noise field, you get a nice turbulence function that has no divergence. Fluids are usually approximated as being incompressible, and that's part of what makes fluids look fluid. Curl of Perlin can give you a nice fluid-looking turbulence. Curl of any noise is divergence-free, of course, but Perlin works well and looks better than others.

Perlin noise is actually more expensive to evaluate than a real fluid simulation. The fun/important part is that Perlin is static, so there's no simulation and you can render your frames out of order and in parallel. With a fluid simulation, each sim frame depends on the previous one. Fake curly noise is also easier to set up and tune than a fluid sim.

I and others have used this technique on lots of films for quick turbulent smoke, fog, and particulate effects.

I work at a 100% remote office. We don't use Slack, or really anything other than Google hangouts. It is pretty easy to just say "Got a sec?", as you would in person. Then type, call, share screens, whatever, when you both have a moment.

It may seem different on the surface, but it really is the exact same communication as you would have in person... you just need to ask. And much of the time, real-time responses aren't truly necessary... so you can just IM someone a question, and know they'll get back to you when they can.
Sure, but there are many big citys with varying rent prices.

For example, Berlin is much cheaper than Munich.

I'd never move to the coutryside again. I'm just no small-town guy.
I'm a pretty reasonable cook, actually. I spent a couple of years challenging myself to improve: I can make a reasonable pizza with home-made base and sauce (albeit American deep pan style rather than Italian), I'm fond of cooking Chinese food (because in the UK takeaway Chinese is very hit-and-miss), and I enjoy baking.

I haven't done any of that for years, because now I'm living with crippling depression, and I often face the choice of spending my energy for the day on work, on housework, on life maintenance, or on eating well. I only get to choose one at the most. So most days I live on ready meals, supermarket pizza, pasta, etc. I buy Joylent (EU version of Soylent) because I reckon it's got more nutritional value than most of the ready meals I'm eating, and it's very quick to make - useful on days when I have to drag myself out of the house and don't have time for breakfast. It's also cheap - which is good, because depression means that I don't get many billable hours worked these days.

So, yeah. I'm probably nowhere near the common case here, but I just wanted to present a case study to show that not all of us meal-replacement users are just "people who haven't learned to cook properly yet" or "people who don't care about food". We're a diverse bunch.

It sounds like what you're describing is very similar to Hydra[1], which builds upon JSON-LD[2], which builds upon schema.org.

JSON-LD provides a vocabulary (schema) for linking various documents together, so you can for example link a blog post document directly to its author. Hydra then provides a vocabulary that lets you describe how to fetch that author document, what fields are required to create a new author object, and how to update the blog post to instead link to that new author. In this case, both "author" and "blog post" can be their respective schema.org documents.

The problem is it's impossible to have a discussion with you. Any source of information that I have is going to be discredited as biased (based on what proof? I don't know, I guess just that "this election proves it" - whatever the hell that means).

So, how do we have any kind of meaningful discussion if all sources and channels I've used to learn things about the world is apparently biased? What are the sources of truth that you've seem to have discovered while the rest of us have had the wool pulled over our eyes? How'd you find it and how do you verify it?

What bothers me about this anti-convenience backlash is that it comes from a "stop being lazy and make the time for something I think you should find important" approach.

If people find value in it, they will take the time to cook. I learned to cook because I found value in it. Others don't, and that's okay. I really like that I can bring something to a pot luck and everyone likes it, or that I can bring joy to a friend for a meal -- that's something I value.

If you don't value that, it's fine. We make choices.

If you are on this site and value it but don't know how to start, take a class. Most people here are in a place where they can afford six weeks of classes to learn the basics. But doing it out of guilt is silly.

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT – Road Test and in Depth Review
Most people ARE intrinsically motivated. It's just that in this society, the things you do for intrinsic motivations are called "hobbies" or "play".

Hobbies are basically non-job things to get good at that don't pressure you with an economic sword of Damocles.

In a Basic Income world, essentially, ALL jobs are hobbies. Those that suck too hard to be hobbies had better automate.
So to extend your analogy - if you're a normal, non-technical person, you don't care about the free/propertiary/SaaS distinction. You're not interested in reading or modifying the internals, nor you're interested in learning how to do it. You have your goals and want software that will best help you accomplish it.

Just like some people aren't into coding, some people aren't that into cooking. One has to eat to survive, but this doesn't automatically make cooking interesting, especially on a daily basis. Many of us (myself included) simply want to get on to the eating part and save the time for something more interesting (be it reading books, playing games, building stuff, spending time with children...).
