As part of my weight loss, I was already on a track to stop eating as much refined sugar. I found that when I cut down on carbs, I got fewer migraines. I now find that when I eat refined sugars, I'm pretty much guaranteed to get a migraine soon after. Naturally, I've stopped.

I still eat carbs. Probably more than is wise, even. But I absolutely avoid cake, ice cream, candy, and anything else with refined sugar. Yes, it was hard even after I realized the migraine thing, but I've been off it long enough (6 months?) that I no longer crave it like I use to. I put Stevia on my cereal (instead of the sugar I used to put on it) and it's good enough. Other than that, I basically avoid sweets. (Oh, I do drink Diet Mt Dew. So there's that.)

And I'm happier for it, in the end. I don't gain weight from it, I don't feel compelled to eat crappy cheap-ass cake from grocery stores at birthday parties, and (of course) I get fewer and less-severe migraines.

I heartily recommend getting off sugar long-term.
I can't tell if you're joking or not. The first time around licensing the OS was part of the near bankruptcy of Apple. Apple is a hardware company that also makes software that makes the hardware compelling. I don't see it happening, but I think it would be more likely that Apple get rid of Macs and macOS entirely (relying on iOS products) rather than license macOS to third parties.
Moaning about Apple leaving a "void" because of Google Chromecast is pretty hilarious. Especially when Apple's version, the Apple TV, is a superior device.

Chromecast is the best Google can do? Color me un-worried.

Ya -- one that permanently has a place in your home so you don't have to worry where your phone is, one that integrates with popular 3rd party home-based IoT, is always listening/on, works better than Siri, and comes with better and free music integration (but is better if you're a prime member). The dot is just echo junior, there is no difference in utility of it.

The result is a very meaningful improvement and a change to how you interact with technology in your home.

It was always clear to me that the direction Apple was taking was not a good one for people outside the "2 sigma" chunk of the bell curve. Apple's focus has been on creating the smallest amount of products for the largest possible audience.

As a self-reply, i will say that Migadu having a permanent free tier is very nice. Not that i intend to use it exactly, but knowing that if i go broke and homeless, still having the same "internet contact address" is useful to me.

It seems to me that Apple attempts to avoid the "invasive" use of deep learning, while Echo and Home utilize it aggressively. Perhaps this is why Siri is seemingly lagging behind Google Now.

Another example of this is Photos apps - Google Photos constantly calls back to the cloud and showers you with computer curated albums, auto-slideshows and "remixes", and automatically tag peoples' faces, while Apple Photos does its learning on-device and buries the "creepy" facial/background recognition features deep in its menus.

It is absolutely a category, especially if you have a larger home where your phone isn't near you. Instead, you just speak to it and it responds without having to find a device instead. It's integration with an ecosystem in your home means it's the new remote -- one that's far more powerful.

It's not that making more money inherently means you have to work more, it's that if you're making a lot of money it's ridiculous to complain about the hours.

Developers are not a subjugated underclass. If you really only want to work 40 hours a week, there are tons of employers who will happily hire you as a developer (at a lower salary).

There's no reason you should be entitled to both a high salary and a short working week.
I find the german answers [1] surprisingly reasonable.

> Yes. A regulation to prohibit or to weaken encryption for telecommunication and digital services has to be ruled out, in order to protect privacy and business secrets.

I believe your comment is spot on mate. "Traditional" news media may even "lie less" than the average political blogger and the likes, but they have an army of competent communication boffins who know how to extract whatever conclusion they want from any possible fact. Also their oldest trick is simply selective reporting, which allows any individual piece of new to pass even the most strict peer reviewing, while retaining some neat control over what data will be used by their viewers when formin their opinions.
> If we re-distribute our wealth, population growth will subside.

I don't get this argument. People want to fuck and reproduce, and the next generation will contain the genes of precisely the people who most want to, and so on. Something needs to check this other than wishful thinking.
This interesting tangent about common parlance for connector names demonstrates another way in which USB Type-C's adoption trajectory is characteristically similar to 8P8C: people are already giving it a technically incorrect common name, "USB-C".
I have this same problem and it drives me nuts. I can type "asdf" and instead of the correct key responses, I get "asdsafdf". No joke. You can see that they've released 6+ BIOS updates to try to fix this but it's still broken. Further, control, shift, and alt are extremely sensitive on where you apply pressure. If you press one of these keys on the side or the corner, it doesn't recognize that. Super frustrating.

> Many people don't pursue business ideas for fear

A very appropriate fear, given that most business ideas are terrible.

There is a balance between risk and reward. Good ideas are worth risk; bad ideas are not.

Removing the fear of failure (or correspondingly, the rewards of success) damages the decision-making process.
Perhaps polling is just more or less accurate because fewer people take part in polls.

Or the opposite - a voting abstentionist might be more likely to take a position when polled.
I assume the idea is by the time one gets to mars, they could only restrengthen through light activity—any more would risk broken bones—and yet there's a lot of work to be done so there is little time for reconditioning.

You would not have seen the Siri leaps that matter, that's not how Apple operates. They develop things in secret and then drop them on the world. I'm not saying that's for sure what will happen with Siri but that's Apple's track record and mode of operation.
I was responding to the statement that some banks were planning to leave and some had already left - I have heard of banks planning to leave, but have definitely not heard of anyone doing so.

base 85 also has the interesting property that 4 original bytes fit in 5 encoded bytes. Depending on your processor's memory model and the cost of multiplies compared to shifts this can make it the best performer.

This was true on Vax 8200 hardware back in the day. In the same software, with Huffman decoding of JPEGs it was also fastest to create a finite state machine with an 8 bit symbol size. I suspect that is no longer true since it would kill your L1 cache and be well into your L2 cache on modern x86 machines. It is probably better to take the instruction count hit and process as bits or nibbles.
Most people with bipolar, like myself, don't shop for shopping's sake; it's because they want to take on a new project or make a major change in their life. I'd buy things like homebrewing supplies, a project car, or athletic equipment. It all either gets returned or starts sitting around a month later, when things get worse.

Sometimes, the projects you failed at eat away at you, daily proof that you are as big of a failure as you think you are, marking your failure as a person. When it's already hard to get out of bed, having to walk past hallmarks of your incompetence makes it even harder.

Rinse and repeat a couple times a year.

That's what mania is for me: a surge of confidence in myself, visible to others as pressured speech and hyperactivity, occasionally leading to irritability. It varies from person to person, though.

A vast majority of foreign college students are not "exchange". They are just foreign students who pay full out-of-state tuition and don't qualify for any financial aid. That's why colleges are actively courting them as they bring in way more revenue.
Well, not always. Removing the iPhone headphone jack was dumb and pointless.

Losing the ethernet jack on Pro laptops is also pretty bad. The reason is thinness, I dunno if that's good or not. WiFi is sufficient for most people, but it sure as hell isn't better when you need high bandwidth and consistent low latency.

In the Netherlands we have Bits of Freedom, they are mentioned in the article:

> Thanks to Bits of Freedom, those answers are now public. That's called transparency.

Another Dutch one I know is Privacy First. When elections come up we always have a vote advice website which is quite popular. You enter your opinion on some current topics (old example: joint strike fighter funding: continue or not?) and it computes which party's goals align the most. Privacy First had an interesting take on this: they looked at what parties pushed for in the past and matched that with what you would have wanted (focusing on privacy-related topics of course). Not looking at promises but at track record. Privacy First probably does other stuff as well, just like BoF, but I don't keep up.

I don't know about other countries unfortunately.
Seems like it's for commercial differentiation:

I bought an XPS 15 a few weeks ago and couldn't be more happier. The build quality is great and an amazing step up from the flimsy XPS I bought 4 years ago.
It's a beautiful machine. But, the entire case is a fingerprint magnet though. I recommend some dBrand skins. The "carbon fiber" top cover is the worst. You'll have to carry some cleaning cloth with you.
The 1080p screen is awesome. Perfect colors. So good I started editing my photos on this laptop vs my high-end monitors. The keyboard is great. The track pad is great as well. I know there were some driver issues with the track pad. It seems like all is well now.
Audio quality is terrible. My older XPS sounded amazing.
The screen has very very thin bezel. So because of that the web cam is awkwardly positioned at the bottom of the screen just above the keyboard. So everyone gets to see your chin when you're video conferencing.
The battery life is alright. If you want to squeeze more life out of the battery you'll have to start undervolting, which isn't too bad. I run Windows with a couple of VS instances and typically a bunch of Chrome tabs open. I get 6 hours with fairly heavy usage. I get about 9 hours with some undervolting techniques (You can find them online. Lot's of folks doing this). I really suggest the power companion Dell sells as an accessory to this laptop. It'll help get you through the work day. Goes without saying, If you want more battery life do not buy XPS with the 4k screen.

No overheating issues. I haven't even heard the fans yet. So quite and cool so far.

I also love the form factor. It doesn't feel like a 15'' laptop. Overall a great buy. It's not the MacBook Pro but i think it's getting there and it's definitely worth the money.
I've not spent any time thinking about pricing for email SaaS targeting consumers but a few quick thoughts:

- You have to have a lot of subscribers to make $4/month amount to real money. Also, churn is higher. My SaaS service Cronitor used to offer a $6.99-turned-9.99 plan targeted at individuals and churn rates on that plan is literally 10x higher than our $25 tier.

- If being cheap is your thing, and I'm willing to spend $50/mo for business email, do I feel comfortable going with the people who are competing primarily on price?

As a datapoint, We use Pobox.com for Cronitor.

You're not saying anything factual, at all. You need to back up your assertions, not as someone to prove your assertion negative.
Siri does now have an API (although limited) on iOS, but I haven't seen many uses of it yet.

As for the Apple TV and Chromecast, I've been using a Chromecast (1st gen) for the last few months since I gave my Apple TV to my parents, and I miss my Apple TV. The Chromecast is great when it works, but it's extremely hit or miss depending on the app you use to stream. YouTube and Netflix work perfectly, but HBO Now and FX are terrible. There's no option to scrub backward/forward, and often when you hit pause the app will disconnect. With HBO Now and the FX app, it usually takes a good 3-4 tries to connect and actually watch something. With the Apple TV, everything worked as expected.

I think the major factor stopping the Apple TV from crushing the Chromecast is price. The old Apple TV is $70 - they should really be pushing for a much lower price point for this to compete with the Chromecast, but Apple doesn't even list this one on their site as far as I can tell.
All journalism is like this now, and I don't blame them.

When people block their ads (proudly I might ad), and refuse to pay, they don't have the money to do any actual reporting. Add on to that the fact that just repeating a tweet and speculating on it attracts the crowds who don't block ads, and you get what we have now.

The masses only want a headline, and the rest won't pay for anything else anyway.
> Usually in form of lost money (transactions) and bricked devices.

This is precisely why law enforcement doesn't need to weaken encryption nor weaken the rights of suspects and defendants. If there is a material crime, that crime has left a trail of evidence in the real world, especially a money trail.

And if you think Leviathan needs unbounded powers or you'll be left as a tasty morsel in the state of nature, physics has always bounded state power, and injustices happen when state power is pushed beyond natural bounds.

Yea, it's very interesting to see how dogmatic people are.

For example, "adding that privatization of education goes against human rights principles" seems to be entirely unsubstantiated to me. If private schools can offer a superior education at a lower cost than public schools, what human rights have been violated? Arguably it's against human rights to ban such schools when they're educating students.
Interesting point, I hadn't realized there were manufacturing/assembly lines for food. Makes sense.

Do you think it's likely we'll see robots making high quality goods like this, or will they always be commoditized and (my opinion) fully disgusting?

Robots clearly do well with mechanical items like cars. There doesn't seem to be any immediate reasons they can't make an artisan sandwich. Maybe it's a limitation of ingredient spoilage / exposure to air during the process?

Curious what you think -- will robots making food continue to be McDonalds level, or will we have good food coming from machines?
