While it is technically a natural sugar alcohol, and can be refined from birch trees, most of the xylitol used in food products now is full synthetic or fermented with yeasts.

It is sweet. It is artificial (sometimes).

It may also draw additional water into your colon and have a "cool" mouth-feel, and it does add calories. Erythritol may be preferable for those reasons, even though it is less sweet. A common non-sugar sweetener mix is erythritol and stevia, which can, when proportioned correctly, add the same sweetness as an equal mass of refined sucrose.

Thanks! I was like, I got to the end of the article and they didn't tell us what the issue with the train was. :-P
You just hit on one of the fundamental reasons why all online communities tend towards toxicity – the people who have the most time and energy to invest in discussions (which eventually snowball into flame wars) are the people who aren't actually doing the actual work.

These things then feed off of themselves – in a sociopolitical 'guardian' type community (/r/atheism, /r/childfree, etc etc) it ends up becoming highly caustic towards the outgroup with everyone competing for in-group status points, while in a 'trader' type community (/r/entrepreneur, /r/marketing), you end up getting flooded by shysters and self-promoters.

The moderates shake their heads and leave, and you're left with the inmates running the asylum.
That's actually a great idea.

It's crazy to think that we eat food that's densely packed with sugar, yet only a fraction of it gets in contact with the tongue.

I wonder if they could design a beverage where the sugar somehow stays on the outside.
With exclusive roads, witihn 5 to 10 years. Without, 50 or maybe never. Imo we are nowhere near cars driven by buggy code. And there are no signs that of the opposite, only wishful thinking.
Yeah, Solaris totally should have been focused on actual customer needs, like containers.
Are you willing to share the niche/product? Perhaps others might be able to come up with name ideas you've missed.

I'm skeptical that all good names are taken and/or expensive. After all, the name doesn't have to be descriptive or a dictionary word, it could just be something that rings out as a brand name.
Thanks for the detailed answer.
10x Genomics | Pleasanton & San Francisco, CA | Onsite | 10xgenomics.com

We're a biotech company creating novel software, chemistry, and microfluidic systems to allow better understanding of the genome. While DNA sequencing technology has advanced rapidly, it’s still at a level equivalent to what assembly language was to computing. With huge advances yet to be made, we're creating products that will do for sequencing what C did for computing which enable scientists to gain higher-order clarity and meaning to what is now very low-level information. Software is a key part of that leap. There's no shortage of difficult problems due to the scale and complexity of analyzing, managing, and visualizing sequencing data. Thoughtful and elegant software engineering can yield big payoffs.

Our software and instruments are used at top research institutions and hospitals around the world. 10x Genomics has most recently raised a $55M Series C from Fidelity and SoftBank and has about 130 employees in Pleasanton, San Francisco, and in the field across the world.
You can view a demo of an existing piece of visualization software at http://loupe.10xgenomics.com/loupe/, or read about (and run if you'd like) our massively parallel pipelines at http://software.10xgenomics.com. We manage our pipelines with Go, develop analysis code using the NumPy stack, and drive our front-end applications with React/Redux (previously Angular 1), but we're always open to any technology that allows us to develop faster. No previous biological experience is required; we have plenty of folks here to handle that, but there is a lot to learn about if you're curious. You'll be directly working with a team of six other engineers (one of them being myself).

We're currently hiring for several software roles, but specifically for senior generalists, senior UI engineers, and QA engineers. Our computational biology group is also always looking for bioinformaticians who are experienced with NGS, and our company is always looking for scientists and engineers (hardware included). Here are some of the job postings we have up, but feel free to email me if you think you're a good fit for another role.

> One of them has years of experience developing secure software, the other has years of experience hacking on bullshit snake oil for the purpose of selling it to users.

Google has done more to shit up the web than any other entity ever. Now I know tons of people are going to say "but Google provides fast DNS, they provide free CDN services, they provide analytics for website owners, etc." Sure they do all that, but it's because every one of those things gives them the ability to track users all over the internet.

And as long as Google is not going to take responsibility for their programs (the explicit warranty disclaimers in their EULA), anything they say about "shipping a secure browser" is bullshit. Ultimately the warranty disclaimer tells us that they don't believe that their product is secure or reliable.

I trust Nestle about as far as I can throw them. Will swap sugar for uranium mine tailings, water rights contracts or dead babies.
Really? That's surprising. Back when I wore a watch (over ten years ago), I only took it off for showers. Part of the appeal was being able to leave it on at all times and not have 'yet another device that needs special instructions before sleep'.
Isn't that part of why Republicans are pushing for increased exploration/extraction in many of the public lands found in the west/Alaska?

As long as a domain name is easy enough to be remembered (so that you can visit it without clicking a link), the name doesn't really matter. The origin of businesses' names are a nice anecdote, but they hardly decide over success (unless the name is offensive in other languages). Google is an example where the name is very easy to remember whereas the connection of the name and the search business is not very intuitive to most.

So choose a word that people can remember and know how to write, but it doesn't have to be connected to the nature of your business.
In chemical terms, nitro groups are -NO₂, which puts the nitrogen atom (which usually wants to attract electrons) at the oxidation state of +5. This makes nitro groups likely to be explosive, since nitrogen wants to return to a more neutral oxidation state (more specifically, elemental nitrogen, N₂ with its very stable triple bond), and will tend to do so exothermically and rapidly.

The desire to return N₂ quickly also makes N-N and N=N single and double bonds very likely to make compounds explosive, because those bonds are already well on their way in the quest for stability and will happily release lots of heat as they do so. See the hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane mentioned in the article--it's full of -N-NO₂ groups! And, naturally, it blows up.
So is this AWS's New Relic competitor?

> It claims this can be done without affecting the taste.

Ugh, and I was about to be excited that I'd really actually be into these chocolate bars again if they were actually less sweet. Oh well. And patenting? Screw them.
That's part of why I'm not sure I want to move to SF. I'm from somewhere that is barely considered the suburbs of Chicago and my girlfriend is from a small farm in Iowa and I'm worried we wouldn't fit in. People spending lots of money kinda makes me uncomfortable.
Doesn't allow or has problems storing it?

Any decent comment system should accept that kind of comment without choking on it.
Except when this service that was supposed to "disrupt" gets proven to be largely a failure, where does that leave the cab companies then? With their monopolies even more solidified - because billions in VC funding couldn't stop them.

Maybe the industry doesn't need disrupting as much as the use of it does. Cabs are largely a luxury item. Improved (or even more utilized) public transit is the answer in most places, and in the places it isn't the answer, the answer isn't Uber either - it's owning a car.
Totally agree. I don't see the point in cutting sugar from this stuff or soft drinks like Coke and Pepsi. People drinking this stuff have already made up their mind that they don't care about healthy eating.

Also, people who consume the more "healthier" versions of soft drinks like Diet Coke or Coke Zero, they tend to over do it because they think they're it's affecting them less.

I've always thought as long as you're gonna be bad then do it right.

No point in consuming a neutered version of something bad when you've made up your mind to be bad.

> Also, how is AV a (direct) impediment to a shipping a safe browser? It seems to me that a browser should be mostly agnostic toward AV.

The main problem is that AV (and some other Windows software) like to inject DLLs into every single process in the system.

The current trend in browser security is a heavy form of sandboxing, in which the sandboxed processes can only access a very limited set of system calls. For that to work, the set of system calls required by the sandboxed process must be known, which is only possible if all the code running within the sandbox comes from either the browser or the operating system itself.

However, if an arbitrary DLL is injected into the sandboxed process, running arbitrary code and attempting to call arbitrary system calls, the sandboxed process will crash, either because the sandbox mechanism kills the process when it attempts to call an unexpected system call, or because the call attempt returns an error value which the injected DLL didn't expect.

Therefore, browser vendors are unable to enable stronger forms of sandboxing, since they'll lead to crashes in the wild.
I'm at step 12 and going on! Nice game, I guess it's a little bit slow now 'cause of HN but it's gonna stabilize :)
