Yes there is some evidence for that. In particular grass fed beef vs grain fed beef:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/health-and-fitness/healt...

Most claims, however, focus on omega-3 fats, in particular alpha linolenic acid (ALA). Higher intakes of this plant-based omega-3 fatty acid are associated with a lower risk of heart disease, stroke, Type 2 diabetes and depression.

According to Dr. Richard Bazinet, a professor in the department of nutritional sciences at the University of Toronto who analyzes fatty acids in beef, grass-fed beef outranks grain-fed beef when it comes to ALA.

Conventional beef has about 20 milligrams of ALA in three ounces, whereas the same amount of grass-fed beef has 50 to 100 mg. A big difference? Yes. Meaningful? That depends.

Women need 1,100 mg of ALA each day; men require 1,600 mg. Eating a six-ounce grass-fed steak three times a week provides, at most, 5 per cent to 8 per cent of your daily ALA requirement. Keep in mind that during cooking, the ALA content of meat will decrease since ALA is found in fat.

Making the switch to other grass-fed animal foods, such as pasture-raised poultry and eggs and grass-fed dairy, could conceivably make an appreciable difference towards your daily ALA needs.

My (uninformed) guess is no. They use to have a Silicon Valley and a Boston batch each year, but later they decided to run all the batchs in the SV location.
Right. California has liberal rules on autonomous vehicle testing on public roads. You have to get insurance and report accidents and disconnects. Only Uber whines about that, but Uber whines about everything.

Deployment is something else. California's rules for autonomous vehicle deployment are out.[1] There's a third party testing requirement and a three-year transition period during which autonomous vehicles can only be leased, not sold outright, and drivers require an autonomous vehicle certification. That's about what Volvo is doing with their test in Sweden.[2]

Nobody has technology good enough yet to turn loose on the general public. Google/Alphabet/Waymo seems to be getting close, but everybody else is at least two orders of magnitude worse on disconnects per mile.

Climbers have a definition: how far is it from base camp to the top? In other words, the mountain starts where "walking" becomes something more difficult than a gravel path.

Another version of this is distance between the parking lot and the top, at what point are wheeled vehicles no longer an option?

"just as climate change evolved from the use of the term global warming". Maybe officially, but I hear most people (even those who know better) still calling it global warming (and then making jokes about how its so cold they would appreciate some more global warming). At one point I thought maybe the next generation would call it climate change, but I have teenagers and they and all their friends call it global warming still (and its not due to ignorance - they full know it should be called climate change).

GPG makes a big deal of doing its own thing and trying to avoid "standards" which they believe might be tainted? It's very unclear to me. For smart cards, GPG wants to own the card completely, and does not want to play with anybody else or use the existing PKCS standards.

So it turns out that the "standard" email encryption is actually S/MIME, and it works pretty much everywhere (non-webmail) out of the box, with fairly decent UI. It even works on iPhones.

This sounds very close to what I spent a year or two searching in vain for. The closest thing I could find was node-red (http://nodered.org/), but that still fell far short. In a weird way, the problem is that every attempt at implementing a functional/dataflow programming environment, at least from what I've seen, invariably tries to do way too much.

The ones I've seen all seem to try to give you a whole bunch of pre-canned function/node for everything you might want to do. This is clearly not a feasible approach. As I see it, they really only need to implement three to four things to have the ideal solution. The first two are: function-nodes that take input which they operate on to produce output, and directed edges that make it possible to connect outputs to inputs.

And following from this the second two logically fall out: a low friction way of amassing (and sharing) a library of function nodes, and some clever UI trickery that makes it easy to black-box a 'canvas' of interconnected function-nodes so that it just becomes a single function-node on a 'higher-level' canvas (i.e. effortless encapsulation, composition and abstraction without loss of low-level control). Systems within systems within systems.

I honestly don't know if any of this makes sense or sounds like a good idea to anyone else. Admittedly I tend to think that our entire reality, from the cosmological to the microscopic, is just one big system composed entirely of other interconnected, lower-order systems. Everything is a system.

Russian law is not recognized outside of Russia. Besides, that logic would give him legal authority to conquer half of Eastern Europe.

> Ukraine is currently on the level of a 3rd world country. Russia would have air superiority within 24 hours

Do you have any idea what occupation means? It's soldiers, hundreds of thousands of them, and money/supplies to remain for years. Russia's economy is in decline, their armed forces are already deployed and stretched around the world.

This isn't a video game.
Most human beings have been working in the service of some 'other' since the agrarian revolution got into full swing 6000 years ago. First it was the raiders, slavers, and tyrants of city states. The priesthoods of hydraulic empires. Churches, guilds, and kings. Then there was an emergent capitalist class, machinery, and national states.

Now human beings are being framed as competitors with machines for livelihoods in a money economy that is increasingly inappropriate for our social, environmental, and economic needs.

The unfortunate insistence that human beings serve technology and the powerful people who use it as a tool to facilitate the extraction of wealth from an increasingly complacent domesticated human population will result in our extinction as Elon Musk predicts - unless we can collectively insist MORE INSISTENTLY that technology be made to serve us: human beings whose lives have intrinsic value. Technology can be used to build a paradise in the physical world for us, but instead we are being shuffled into brightly lit slaughterhouse chutes of virtuality. Fuck that.

Really? Their MFT camera is about the same price as a low-end MFT from olympus or panasonic. The go pro had a lot of obvious margin to eat up. I wonder how much a sony action cam would cost if they didn't have to provide a warranty like yi doesn't have to provide much of a warranty?

DJI is pretty expensive and chinese too. In the end it's about the tech to price ratio.

I think that Canon and Nikon have been resting on their laurels, in large part because they have the photojournalism market sewn up. They're the undisputed champions of a small and highly visible market, but they have been overtaken in almost every other respect. They don't make the best sensors, they don't make the best lenses, they don't make a compelling mirrorless camera.

Canon and Nikon don't have the aspirational appeal that they used to. Their prestige has been badly undermined by the Sony/Zeiss partnership - the best sensors paired with the finest glass. Sigma used to be the cheap option, but they're now producing some of the best primes in the world. It used to be that serious photographers were either Canon or Nikon people, but now they have a lot more choice.
First time I understood this.

>> But that doesn't mean that modern phones aren't eating into the DL's market;

No more than any other camera. Most of the target buyers for the DL tend to be more serious photographers.

The DL is on the high end of the point and shoot market, up there with Sony's RX100 series. The core market for the DL are SLR shooters who need a small camera that's better than a phone. Phones are fine for most stuff, but they're not particularly good with fast moving action or low light.
I expect the article itself is more carefully worded than the press release.

I don't think people in the scientific community in general really care much about the press releases. The publicity is more something that the funding organizations and universities have started to require in recent years --- you may even get some quantified "career points" of some sort from them depending on the grant. The press releases are at best an afterthought for the researchers. As they are also often edited by the PR staff of the university, there may be some standardized level of hype injected.
I feel that AMD forced that change in accidentally clever way by embedding itself in current generation of consoles. 8 anemic 1.6 GHz cores forced whole gaming industry to start taking multi threading seriously.
I don't think that this is the solution to MongoDB problems mostly because they're unsolvable. Here's why:

- When you update across multiple documents, you're not guaranteed that they all succeed or fail. This is why embedded documents is more consistent but less flexible: single document updates are atomic.

- When you make queries on multiple documents that depend on the previous query, the running query could be affected by updates that happen in between, otherwise known as lacking serializability. Again, this can be fixed by embedding documents.

- When you delete a document, there may be broken references to the deleted document. Unless you have denormalized the references to the deleted document, you must query the entire database to remove broken references.

If you go so far to emulate a relational database, you might as well just use one.

The Klim McPherson study you linked doesn't have any real conclusion and is focused on UK health, which might have different factors than US healthcare, which is privately run for the most outside of retirement. None of your other cites calculate anything have to do with obesity costs in healthcare. I'm sorry but you sound like a typical fat acceptance advocate trying to skirt the issue.

Forbes:

Obese men rack up an additional $1,152 a year in medical spending, especially for hospitalizations and prescription drugs, Cawley and Chad Meyerhoefer of Lehigh University reported in January in the Journal of Health Economics. Obese women account for an extra $3,613 a year. Using data from 9,852 men (average BMI: 28) and 13,837 women (average BMI: 27) ages 20 to 64, among whom 28 percent were obese, the researchers found even higher costs among the uninsured: annual medical spending for an obese person was $3,271 compared with $512 for the non-obese.”

Making the cost impact all the more troubling is the fact that, unlike smokers, obese people tend to live almost as long as those who keep their weight under control. "Smokers die early enough that they save Social Security, private pensions, and Medicare" trillions of dollars", said Duke's Eric Finkelstein. "But mortality isn't that much higher among the obese."

---

So in other words we're looking and year over year cost increases that are significant. A BMI of 30–35 kg/m2 reduces life expectancy by two to four years [wikipedia].

Two to four years is nothing especially when you have all these extra yearly costs to make up. Yes, the very obese can lose 6-10 years of life, but they're rare. 30-35 is the common range. Not to mention advances in stent technology and advances in heart drugs means that a obese person today is going to have a very good chance at a long lifespan. We may be able to eliminate that 2-4 shortage sooner than later.
Oh yeah, thanks for pointing out the typo. Too late to fix it.
> To claim that smartphones are a replacement for P&S cameras is I think misguided

The problem is that the majority of consumers have already decided the opposite. P&S sales are in decline, which means our options will diminish and those options will get more expensive.

It's a bummer, since my P&S from 2013 still blows away my iPhone 7 when indoors or other low-light situations.

But I like to think whatever iPhone model is out in the next 4 or 5 years will finally match my $200 P&S.
> Owning mortgaged property and watching it fall in value is terrifying. Building a vast amount of housing will do that.

Exactly. And yet "why can't they build on brownfield?" is the immediate cry whenever anyone even starts looking sideways at the green belt. Nobody is terrified of brownfield, which is why I strongly suspect that brownfield alone isn't going to make a damn bit of difference; to steal a phrase, "if building on brownfield changed anything they'd make it illegal".

> it's painfully clear to me that high house prices was a deliberate choice

Yes, very obviously. And not just in the obvious "pandering to donor builders and smug homeowners" sense, either; debt creation through mortgage lending is at the heart of UK monetary policy now. Probably the most extreme example I've ever seen of jam today at the cost of long-term disaster.

But st is at least harder because we already have optimized libraries that can do this in C++.

It would be great too look at it.
The Nikon 1 uses a small sensor - the crop factor would be somewhere close to three if you were to use F glass on it. Good for telephoto. Wide angle? Not as much.

I would be surprised if the Nikon 1 tempted many who have invested in lots of F glass. Now, if Nikon were to release a mirrorless full-format camera with excellent AF and low-light performance, I believe you'd find a lot of people asking them to shut up and take their money.

2. It's not like the JS community is anti-XML, most JS libs/frameworks still use HTML/XML markup for rendering.

Obese people spend thousands more per year on healthcare and an obese BMI of 30-35 results in only a 2-4 year lifespan reduction. The GP is massaging data to fit a fat acceptance narrative. Healthcare companies fight against obesity because of quality of life issues as well as cost savings. Its not a conspiracy.
Why do you think companies should have software developed for them by third parties for free?

They do ignore accessibility in both content and the website design itself. It's frustrating to see all those websites that are trying to teach about design, or even offer design services, but with their own websites containing illegible texts, broken layouts, invalid markup, etc. Heck, even those that claim to aim accessibility and validity often fail to achieve any.

Just a few examples to demonstrate what I mean:

- Grey-on-white color scheme: high brightness, leading to eye strain.

- Font sizes and div widths are set in pixels.

- Fails validator.w3.org validation.

- Light-grey-on-white navigation links: low contrast, leading to barely legible text.

Depends on the map projection.

On the surface of a sphere, the shortest distance between two points is along a great circle route (which is the equivalent of a line in spherical geometry). Polar map projections preserve straight lines as great circle routes, but, e.g., Mercator projections do not.

If you're looking at a 5 km × 5 km topo map, the difference isn't particularly significant. If you're looking at a map of Europe or the United States, it is (note that many airline routes seem to follow curved lines--it's because the shortest distance is that curved line).

That's somewhat true, but the biggest reason to buy a camera these days (over just using a phone camera) is for better image quality, and IMO the mid and high end Nikons give better results than Canon. Obviously subjective, but it's why I bought a Nikon last year.
It's faster than turning your P+S on. Not for taking pictures once it's already on (assuming a reasonably up-to-date camera). For casual/consumer use, a phone is better. but if you're serious about photography, the convenience issues aren't the same.

It's like how there are all kinds of amazing music apps available on smartphone or tablet - it's beyond question that they are valuable creative tools. But if you can play guitar, you'll probably always prefer doing so to using your phone despite the inconveniences of owning and carrying a primitive wood and metal wire contraption.
