True, but then you also have to counterbalance that cost with the value of the skills gained by preparing food. It's really, really difficult to evaluate this value, but it does exist, much as if you spent that same time learning to do basic home repairs, vehicle maintenance, woodworking, etc.

Many of you folks are completely missing the point. The world wide web took off in large part because it was incredibly easy to learn HTML, because with every webpage if one wanted to know how it worked one could just look at the source code.

How the page is currently being rendered, what state the DOM might be in... These things do not matter to someone trying to view the source HTML for a page. They're looking to learn about the HTML. They're not goimg to get that by viewing pre-digested DOM information.
The headline misrepresents the article completely.

Eating healthy food _is_ costlier than not caring about what you eat. However, that does not mean that expensive equals healthy.

It's basically the same old "everything that's good is (at least somewhat) expensive, but not everything that's expensive is good" applied to food.

BTW: why the heck are both source and journal reference links to some top level domains?
You're comparing a rather strange selection of foods. The cheapest foods per-calorie are the things you see the poor of the word eating: rice, corn meal, beans, etc. You can buy a massive bag of rice for almost nothing, and some countries subsidize that further. When people talk about the poor living on a dollar a day, they're serious.

You may notice that the poor eating those foods, and not dramatically more expensive items like soda, aren't getting fat.

That is pretty disgusting, if I read it right. It sounds like you are advocating for buses and taxes without basic climate control for the sake of market segmentation?

Meaning that we would take some of our poorest workers and take one of the view comforts they have left and potentially force them to risk their lives. A taxi driver without a heater, could literally die today where I am at at a balmy 6 degree F.

If I read you wrong, please explain.
I used it and I can tell you that it works exactly as advertised :).
Probably not for a lot of the state, but the Charlotte metro area contains a significant number of people who live across the border in Rock Hill for property tax reasons. These people make that commute almost daily. (It's actually enough that the Charlotte Transit Authority has a bus that runs to Rock Hill).
people pay for weight watchers because it systematically manages their caloric intake, not because they believe the food is healthy.

We have been restricting cost in this discussion to monetary cost, not opportunity cost. Why bring in this separate definition just to muddy the waters, when in the parent comments we're just talking about dollars and cents?
You can't ignore the fact that once you get off the merry-go-round it becomes incredibly hard to get back on.

Healthy prepared foods are, of course, more expensive than junk prepared foods. But healthy and less-processed foods can be cheaper than junky prepared foods. With Taco Bell being the notable exception.
In all seriousness, how much of this was total bull shit? 100% or less?
Agreed... I feel like this study is going to be misused to mock people who choose healthy food. But the reality is, we all make those kind of decisions based on limited information.

That is only viable for newcomers into the type of service and only works if they clone the API of an established player, not improve on it and standardize it.
Ask HN: Is it ok to use traditional server-side rendering these days?
So I was going to start on a small ASP.Net core project today. It wasn't anything complicated, and I was just going to use server-side rendering with Razor. But then I forgot.

Legally required breaks are the low hanging fruit of labor disputes. A lot of small businesses really fuck it up by: misclassification of exempt employees, 1099 vs W-2 employees, overtime, inadequate safety equipment, inadequate safety training.

Granted, some of these are because the SMB owner was simply uninformed, like OSHA violations. Overtime is quite malicious though ie. you work 60 hours this week, and 20 hours next week, manager moves that 20 hours OT onto next week, thus denying you overtime.
This is precisely the issue. Calories are important but it's micronutrient adequacy, variety, and balance that matters as much, and arguably more so, in terms of what is healthy. We shouldn't be measuring cost based on calories alone, and we should account for the costs to health from empty calories.

From my experience, the significant cost in healthy foods is the time to prep and cook them. I keep it simple by steaming frozen veggies and can eat that repeatedly, but most people prefer a lot more variety in their diet at least in respect to healthy foods.
Trademarks and trade dress are completely separate issues from software patents.

Ontario build code is hilarious. For example, table 9.23.10.1 specified the size and spacing of studs in walls. For interior walls, the maximum stud spacing is 406mm on center, and minimum stud size is 38x38mm.

If you didn't know this was 16" on center, and 2x2 framing, you'd think some mad drunk person had come up with these numbers. I also like to imagine building inspectors walking into a building and saying "Oh, these studs are 407mm apart. Tear the building down."

And people with celiac are benefiting enormously by the generic diet trend of eating low gluten/gluten free by the masses who have nothing wrong with them.

A quick google search shows 86% of people who are think they're gluten sensitive, aren't. That's nearly 90% of the stuff in the "gluten free" section of your grocery that's being bought by people who are just wrong.

So for 9/10 people buying gluten free food thinking it's healthier, there is no evidence. lintiness is speaking to that.
To anyone recommending different approaches that could help this guy get a job - look at it from the other side.

There are 9 million unemployed men such as this one (according to the article). This doesn't mean that there are 9 million job openings out there, just waiting for someone with the right resume to show up. Sure, there are probably some, but mostly, this simply means there are 9 million more workers than jobs.

Educating the unemployed will only help individuals beat someone else in the competition of scoring a job, it won't help unemployment as a whole.

I completely disagree.

Eating healthy, cheap, easy is easy if you put even 4 hours of thought into it and are willing to learn. I'm in Toronto Canada, so these might not be tailored to you, but you can get the general idea.

1. Eat things in season. Squash, carrots, onions, sweet potatoes, corn are just unbelievably cheap in the autumn. Use garlic, onion, bay leaf, oil, a couple thai chili peppers fry them in the bottom of a pot with some coconut oil. Put the cubed squash (skins and all!) in the pot with a lid and some stock (veggie or chicken) until soft. Smush down add other veggies and add a half can of coconut milk and you have 8 or 10 meals at around a $1 CAD per meal. Easy to heat up, bring to work, lasts a while in the fridge.

2. Eat better, cheaper animal protein. Mussels are very cheap and very delicious. Canned clams are easy too. Sardines on toast are easy and delicious. Eggs. If you're adventurous get the butcher to grind beef heart with chuck and make much healthier beef heart burgers.

3. Figure out the cost of things per calorie, but be careful to restrict what you buy to just within the set of healthy foods. For example, whole milk is pretty cheap per calorie and still pretty healthy if you're of European ancestry. Nuts look completely overpriced until you realize that they are 1/5th the cost per calorie of carrots. I know it seems counter intuitive to try to find calorie rich foods, but if you're poor you do need to pay attention to this. Avocados, olive oil, granola, almond butter.

4. If it is dry, canned, or otherwise keeps, buy in bulk. Brown rice, steel cut oats, flour, cans of tomatoes, bags of onions, carrots, everything.

5. Slow cookers make things easy, pressure cookers make things fast. I own one that does both and if you want fast, healthy, cheap, delicious: one chicken leg, some stock, veggies, some dry spices + pressure cooker = perfect meal in 10 mins with very little cleanup.
Branded Corn Flakes are nearly pure starch but contain 0 corn syrup (and not all that much sugar). It's just cooked corn.
They're both true. Sometimes the supply and demand curves don't meet.
My University (UMD) does, but that might only be because Bill Pugh teaches/taught here.
If you count "lost time" as an opportunity cost, IMO you should also count "lost health".
You overestimate the greed of today's leaders. See Uber bailing from Austin because of unfriendly regulation.

It's true the the original post is too broad, but if just Apple, Microsoft, and Google decided to stop selling devices in S.C. that might be enough to oust a large number of state officials and get the law overturned by the next senate/congress.
Great point. Better to be employed than not, and of course no job is a perfect fit.

Would be interesting to count one as being only 60% employed, in the example you give. So if you had 100 million people all employed at 60% fit, that's an 'effective' employment of 60 million. Of course, I have no idea how one might measure that.

But I am not an economist, there may be similar (or superior) measures for underemployment.
I have a different view on 'transparency': something is 'transparent' if you can see the internals of that thing at any given moment. Time is a critical factor for transparency: What if, instead of the next meeting being in a month (where we hope this will be discussed), it was in a year? 2 years? 10?

People have finite attention spans. There's probably a well-intentioned, innocuous explanation as to why the process has been set up like this: I imagine the time delay is intended to give people time to consider the issue (reducing the chances of irrational emotional outbursts, increasing the chances of rational discussion).

However, introducing a delay between 'decision' and 'revelation' of the internal machinations behind the decision creates greater scope for people to act in bad faith. This seems at odds with what (I think) is the function of transparency.

Whether this is an acceptable trade-off is a separate issue.
Lots of people ask, here and on other forums, things like: "Should I get/finish a CS(or other technical) degree? what's the point?"

If nothing else, it give you credentials to help avoid this sort of situation in the field you wish to work in.

Not many employers look for humanities majors to run their IT when there are many other applicants with credentials.
A good point was made that a model of neurogenesis must also incorporate neuronal death besides neuronal birth (since hippocampus and the brain as a whole have physical constraints, you can't keep growing your network infinitely :). That's why any model of neurogenesis must incorporate interplay between birth and death of new (and old) neurons; that's was the main idea of the paper I mentioned in an earlier post (this year ICLR submission https://openreview.net/forum?id=HyecJGP5ge)
Note that just adding nodes to networks was proposed before, eg. the classical work on cascade correlations.

if you're pricing calories, then yeah, but considering how much unhealthy eating is excess calories then i'm not really sure what we're talking about. a serving of apple will make you feel fuller than a serving of wonderbread. a serving of broccoli will make you feel fuller than a can of soda, at least after you burp. the fact that you've consumed fewer calories in the process is actually the main health benefit.

i grocery shop for a family of four. my experience is i can buy as much as i like in the produce section without having much of an effect on the bill, but i have to be careful with meat. i used to be more fretful with fresh fruit, thinking it was really expensive, but the more of that i buy the less of the more expensive stuff i need, and no one's going hungry around here.

you're right that bread and the like are cheap, but there's only so much of that a person can eat. when you're talking about the cost of food, that's a fact that needs to be accounted for.
Agreed 100%. Growing up we didn't have money to hire people to do this stuff for us. I learned how to paint, how to hang drywall, how to do basic plumbing, how to lay flooring (tile, carpet, and wood), and odd jobs like replacing crown molding.

I'd add basic mechanics to this list -- things like changing my own oil and replacing my own battery have saved me a TON of money and there's a satisfaction that comes from being able to fix your own stuff.

Well, it's definitely fast enough not to notice excessive latency in the terminal and to run simple applications, but the instructions are interpreted so expect a serious slowdown compared to recompiling or dynamically translating the code.

The quote is one I agree with and I thought I should give its origin. I do not agree with everything Winston Churchill has said or done, and I probably disagree with him more than most (even of those on the left).

But perhaps some context is in order.

At that time India was pretty terrible. E.g. burning at the stake of widows after their husbands died. Even Marx found that the British occupation was a civilizing force. It could be argued that the occupation in its totality and for all of it's faults was a net positive.

Obvious fascism is obvious. Which is why George Orwell's books are dedicated to the less obvious fascisms. And it's why I made the point on political correctness, because it's less obvious.

`repmgr` from 2ndQuadrant is getting really close to ideal and it's included in the PGDG yum and apt repositories, my biggest issue is the manual plumbing involved to get clients to automatically pick up the new master after a failover and automatically rewinding a failed master and bringing it back up as a standby (both are done out of the box by EDB's solution).
OK, let's do this.

"A business, manufacturer, wholesaler, or individual that manufactures, distributes, or sells a product that makes content accessible on the Internet is prohibited from doing business in this State unless the product contains an active and operating digital blocking capability that renders any obscenity, as defined in Section 16-15-305, inaccessible.

The business, manufacturer, wholesaler, or individual must:

(1) make reasonable and ongoing efforts to ensure that the digital content blocking capability functions properly, including establishing a reporting mechanism such as a website or call center to allow for a consumer to report unblocked obscene content or report blocked content that is not obscene;

(2) ensure that all child pornography and revenge pornography is inaccessible on the product;

(3) prohibit the product from accessing any hub that facilitates prostitution; and

(4) render websites that are known to facilitate any trafficking of persons, as defined in Section 16-3-2010(9), inaccessible."

What is "a product that makes content accessible on the internet"? A computer? A router? A telephone line? Or does the computer simply access things which are already accessible, in which case we're talking about webservers and the like?

Since this applies to an individual too, does this mean you can't sell your old computer unless you set up a method for people to report things they shouldn't see on there?

Leaving aside the practical fact that it's impossible to do, given that it is (presumably) illegal to access child pornography, how is somebody supposed to "ensure that all of it is inaccessible" without breaking the law?

How would one report blocked content that isn't obscene? How can you know it's not obscene if you can't access it?

I can't face reading the rest of it. The first paragraph is already making my brain hurt.

Because SC didn't invent computers, the internet, or anything related to this. This isn't their territory, and they should quickly and apologetically "back off".

The effect: "You want a computer? Pay for it, and give me $20: you have no choice."
