If no one told you that elephants had gone extinct, would you, or the average person ever know? Being serious here no down votes plz.

I'm all for being nice to animals but tbh untill we can feed "starving kids in Africa" maybe limited resources would be better directed for humans and not elephants (ie enforcing bans / going after black market).

As a native Russian speaker, I can't help but notice that the name sounds really close to the Russian offensive word for homosexual people - 'gomik's.

"Unfortunately it does not highlight the danger of sugar"

From the guidelines: When added sugars in foods and beverages exceed 10 percent of calories, a healthy eating pattern may be difficult to achieve.

Third year nutrition undergrad. Was told that this recommendation will likely be reduced further as more future research justifies doing so.

For most people that follow the recommendations, their diet may not be optimal but it will be markedly improved from average, at least in regards to preventing chronic diseases that are among the top causes of death (CVD, diabetes, etc) and improving overall wellness/health.

I disagree that the recommendations do not sway people toward healthier/less processed foods. See Table 1-1.
This is predicated on the evidence, should it exist, of a Russia-backed security incursion being classified a national security secret. While such a hypothetical claim would have questionable value, would it be worth classifying a bit of information, say, like "the attack ingress point was IP address x.x.x.x, which is owned by Russian military?"

Working at the top of a lighthouse for a month would be awesome (assuming good Internet) if you were motivated to get something in particular done. I think if you went there with a generalised notion of getting something done, I don't think it would work nearly as well.

> This might sound like sophistry, but invading a country is not the same thing as trying to export and enforce a country's own political ideals.

It's literally sophistry. Russia's "own political ideals" weren't merely exported to or enforced on Crimea. The region was annexed. It's now has precisely identical "political ideals", being, y'know, part of Russia.

And the whole argument is sort of crazy-specific anyway, given the history of this region[1] has been one of a huge, Russian-led attempt to enforce a single political system on a giant collection of border states.

[1] That, y'know, kind of led to that NATO expansion you're mentioning. Eastern Europe doesn't want to be dominated by the Russians again. Go figure.
Considering there are probably many thousands of developer hours invested in this, I hope Fog Creek invests ten or thirty hours into making some quick and dirty youtube videos showing starting from scratch and building out a a few full apps with persistence, some integrations, etc so we can see what that involves.

I would expect that if an editor makes a change, their change should be preserved. There is no general case where you can decide which edit to keep, because in some cases(like the one you presented) people are editing the exact same sentence, but far more often people will not make edits to the same small part at the same time(at least in the real world). This makes OT very practical since generally the eventual consistency can be reached quickly, and there is consistency, so the results with given inputs are predictable.

To be fair, Gmail does support the IMAP IDLE extension, which is the standard way of doing push email over IMAP. Mac mail supports it, and it works. (I actually get email notifications on my laptop before my Android phone.)

iOS only supports email push with iCloud or with a Microsoft Exchange server. IMO, this is really on Apple for not supporting the IDLE extension on iOS, rather than Google for not supporting a proprietary protocol for their free users.

Crimea really isn't a great example to hang your hat on, given that the population is majority Russian, was historically part of Russia before the creation of the Soviet Union (1783-1954), and by all accounts, the population wants to be part of Russia.

Like, I'm all for the principle of no border changes through warfare, and we should object to the invasion on those grounds, but this is literally not an example of nation building, more like Putin wanting to take back historically Russian territory.
I was working on getting Linux 3.13 ported over a while back. Never got everything working (audio and wifi was particularly painful), but it might be a start:

I love Gomix. I spent the past weekend helping a friend migrate a static front-end only CSS skin they had made over to a live server on Gomix. That friend has moved onto running webpack and babel locally to do more advanced stuff, but Gomix was a godsend in helping demonstrate to him that the problemspace isn't as horrifyingly large as he expected. We communicated and "code reviewed" via writing comments to each other in js files. It was a really pleasant experience.

I loved it when it was called Hyperdev too. At first I didn't really get it (I work at Stack Overflow so we're part of the same extended family meaning my first impression of Hyperdev was before it was as polished), honestly at first I was angry they were even spending the time doing something I considered so stupid. Until I had a use for it.

I had gotten a Raspberry Pi foundation touch-screen LCD, spent my Saturday morning setting it up, had a grandiose idea of what I wanted to make using it (basically just a "smart" note / TODO / grocery list manager I could attach to my fridge's door) and... realized I had to write yet-another-webapp. I've been making web apps for around a dozen years. The last thing I want to do in my life is spend the time writing the basics of a web-app.

My idea was going to be a thing where I'd use Trello (wow this is becoming an ad for all my sister companies remind me to plug FogBugz, Kiln, and CityDesk at some point too) as the "data store". I have Trello boards for everything. Work to-dos, Personal to-dos, even a trello list for the records I own and the records I want to own.

After writing the basics of what I wanted down, I started sketching the UI. And you know what? After I had all that set, I was able to make a prototype of the entire thing in less than 15 minutes using Gomix (at the time Hyperdev). You can view my prototype here: https://coal-sting.gomix.me/

I didn't end up building the full flow, but I've been coming back to the Gomix project every month or two and adding one-more-MVP-checklist-feature to my prototype. And once I'm done with it? I can take all the JS I wrote, put it into a project bundled with webpack like the rest of my projects, and place it directly onto my RPi and touchscreen.

I know Gomix looks deceptively simple, but that's exactly why I love it. I really value minimizing the time it takes to go from "ooh that's a cool idea" to "holy shit I'm actually working on the idea and not the cruft and skeleton code I need to work on before I get to work on the idea itself!"

Half the time the reason why I stop working on a side project is because I'm getting bored before I get to even work on the real side project. I am always just looking for an excuse to give up and go back to playing video games.

Gomix is perfect for me. I can't wait until they support more languages so I can throw away all the time I've spent and code I've written making templates[0] and bootstrappers[1] for myself.

Unfortunately not true.

"Also, while USB Type-C and ThunderBolt 3 "work" for a dock, being able to plop by ThinkPad down on my desk at home and have it start charging and connect all of my peripherals is still easier than plugging in a cable (even if it's just one cable)."

If it is built in the US, regulating the sale would be redundant, as manufacture would already be illegal, and more ethically made products don't look any different.

If you want, say, textile workers to have humane working conditions, you regulate the textile manufacturing industry, and you want enforcement officers in the garment district, not the retail district.

Of course it is classified. And of course no state backed actor is going to use a military owned IP.

And there won't be one single source of evidence which points to it, it will be hundreds of small circumstantial points which taken together point to the conclusion.

Those won't ever be released because they will give away sources and techniques.
I used to work for an airline that used Amadeus and was fairly familiar with it. Every booking agent had access to a terminal connection to the mainframe (similar to ssh or telnet). Everyone had unique login credentials and every action can be tracked through the booking history.

Here are a few notes:

- Credit card numbers are obfuscated right after they are first used. Only certain back offices have unrestricted access.

- Viewing all the travel information in the PNR is important. For example, if a flight is arriving late, it can be useful to know that the passenger has a connecting flight with another airline on the same ticket to arrange for another connecting flight.

- Reservations are archived after a certain amount of days after the last flight. They can be retrieved in view only mode but you have to specify a date range.

- Most tickets and vouchers are non-transferable (at least for the airline I worked for) . Even changing a name on a reservation is a pain. You either have to make a new booking and re-issue the ticket or get a support desk to change the name on the current reservation and re-issue the ticket. A regular agent changing more than 3 letters of a name will result in a cancelled itinerary.

- It is possible to enter restricted comments on a PNR. You can even set who can view them. Agency only, Airline only even a specific office.

I get that he was saying that the system is unsafe but a lot of it is only in relation to the web interfaces. You can't get direct GDS access unless you're working directly for an airline or travel agency. Those people definitely need to see most of the information on the record.

Anyways, just thought I would provide some info.
I’m sure there is more than just one. :) I live in Lake Merritt too and one of them is always rooting through our trash and recycling bins, even when some residents have tried asking her not to.

I haven't read the article yet, but I would rather that my trash and recyclables were strictly between me and the processing plant. For one thing, we all throw out paper with loads of exploitable information. Secondly, I am fairly certain the Bay Area sorts its trash after collection, so extracting recyclables earlier in the process isn't really of consequence.

Currently there is no conclusive way to prove either if God exist or not... But I tend to agree with what's described on the article, there are some points on the counter-argument that seem flawed.

"This approach, of course, involves many fallacies. It is clear that many routes could have led to the same result." Yet that doesn't mean that those routes have a greater probability than the ones they are currently accounting.

"However, we now understand that the process of natural selection implies that evolution is anything but random." yes, but isn't the proposition of intelligent design that evolution was the mechanism through which a superior intelligence shaped life on earth?

"Is it a miracle that the planet produced animals as complex as, and yet as different from, humans, dolphins, and cicadas, each so well 'designed' for its own habitat?" No, but the fact that this planet give place to such a process as natural selection may well be one..

"Living systems allow greater dissipation [of energy], which means that the laws of physics might suggest that life is, in some sense, inevitable." then shouldn't be the presence of life the rule and not the exception around the universe?
Ditto. It'll would be awesome if there was an ability to download the files you 'remixed' so you can self host.

It could serve as a great educational tool too. Something that would allow people who are overwhelmed to get their feet wet and 'build something functional'. Getting 'hello world' to print on a console is cool, but it won't excite someone as much as getting a live website to print 'hello world'.
This is so overdue, to a company that has become so safe in mentality and lack of innovation.

I think his point is sound. His arguments are in line with the ones from Kathy Sierra's book Badass: focus on making your user awesome, instead of telling them how awesome your app is. Or in Rust's case, tell users how great they will be at systems programming when they pick up Rust, instead of technical details like "memory safety without garbage collection."

I feel like one becomes a jacked dude with prison pecs by the experience of being in prison, and a Eucharistic minister by the experience of being somewhere rather different from prison.

Which is to say, the crime-prone-ness of people currently under mass incarceration, were they to be mass decarcerated today, is probably not well correlated with their crime-prone-ness had they never been imprisoned in the first place. So if we want to model the effect of reducing mass incarceration, whether scientifically or by thought experiments with alb-vested street gangs, we should not model the effect of unlocking the prison gates and assume that this is an equivalent scenario.

(We can even talk about how life would have been for these people if they had been working in industries that weren't classified as illegal. For instance, if you wanted to be a major marijuana trafficker several years ago, there'd be a certain inherent underworld element to your life even if you never got caught, and the externalities of you living that life were probably bad for society. But if you want to do it today, YC or someone will fund you and the externalities of your life will probably be good for society. But that conversation might be too nuanced or too awkward to have in a reasonable fashion.)
Can you think for yourself without authorities, man? I know it's hard.

This passage from the Economist article I think nicely, and unintentionally, demonstrates the level of insanity here:

The result was that some 20,000 convicts who otherwise would have been sent to prison remained free. The state incarceration rate reverted to 1990s levels without an attending rise. Indeed, studies found no effect on violent crime and a small effect on property crime. (Each year of prison not served due to California's reform was estimated to cause an additional 1.2 auto thefts.) However, the social cost of a stolen Corolla is not clearly greater than the cost to taxpayers of a year of prison time.

So, 20,000 innocent people per year have their cars stolen. But no biggie! Without plutonium, how would we have electricity? If someone steals 1.2 cars per year, why lock him up? It's not worth the cost of a "Corolla."

The result is the insane predatory atmosphere of a normal American (for me, SF) street, in which anyone with any sense is on yellow alert all the time except behind locked doors. As for my children, I'm resigned to being a helicopter parent until they're old enough to... defend themselves, I guess? Should probably start with those karate lessons now.

Meanwhile, in Japan, which has zero tolerance for crime, you can send your five-year-old around the corner to buy milk. Have you ever lived in a crime-free society? Even visited? Try it sometime -- the feeling is downright amazing. You really don't know what you're missing.
