True. Many grains, oil etc have to be processed before it reaches consumers. However, many agricultural products can be sold direct to consumer that simply doesn't justify the carbon footprint. We have to consider alfalfa..corn grown for hogs etc. proper stewardship of land and considering/acknowledging the labour problem would go a long way in assessing the true nature of our ag situation.
No kidding, everything is "obvious" after the fact.

The problem is that immediately before and even during, we don't know what the important parts are. Or worse, we have contradictory signals that throw off the analysis and lead investigators down dead ends.

But even then, we don't know what the dead ends are until the accompanying event doesn't happen.. and then persistent (and wrong) analysts will shift their analysis to match whatever event happened to be semi-close in date, location, etc.

Nah, the coast is too expensive; you have to go over a bunch of hills and deal with steep terrain and thick forests. The correct option is to go for the cheapest land available, which any private company (not sure this kind of thing should be privatized but it's a useful comparison imo) would have obviously gone for. That would be just west of I-5, up the eastern edge of the Central Valley. Throw in a few improvements to the E-W roads between [Modesto/Bakersfield/Santa Cruz/etc] and the train corridor (which can be put off a few years to raise money) and you end up with nearly the same level of service to those areas anyway. But because it's political and activists want train service to their towns because [ideology] or just for the property values, we get cost overruns while delaying the big prize: service from SF to LA.
>It's worthless? So why are telcos are forcing their LTE-U into it then? It doesn't propagate very far?

Forcing? Nobody is forcing, they are requesting. In urban settings telcos are maxing out their midband spectrum. Running higher frequency microcells allow them to increase throughput dramatically in congested areas without having to worry about signal bleeding away very far. (properly installed antennas with down-tilt, etc)

>You basically refuted yourself.

Sorta, I guess. It's useless for most SoHo use since firmwares are buggy and if the AP detects cop radar nearby it'll unpredictably shift channel. Weather radar the issue is caused by directional antennas pointing up or towards the receiving radar antenna due to careless installation. It looks like this: http://www.ec.gc.ca/meteo-weather/2B931828-790E-4782-8BBE-CE...

>Paid telco LTE-U with it's proxied to uselessness "internet" without any control or ports is no replacement.

Sure it is, you're in the 0.000000000001% of people that care about running a webserver while mobile. Don't argue and tell me you don't own a cellphone. People want working LTE else they wouldn't bitch about congestion. LTE is much more efficient than WiFi in the given spectrum requested. I'd use VoWifi which my carrier supports, but the reality is most public wifi is both insecure and unreliable so I don't unless as a last resort. Get real.

I agree. Even General Hayden complains about how ridiculously over-classified the US cyber warfare operations are.[0]

Why can't we have a well informed debate over the new cyber weapons that our government has developed? I didn't know about operations like Nitro Zeus until a few days ago. (That's where the US used software to infiltrate Iran's power grid, radio communications, surface to air missiles, etc. in preparation for war back in 2009). How are normal citizens supposed to understand the stakes when we can't even see most of the information? If they were able to do that attack back in 2009 I shudder to think of what they can do in 2017...

The standard is not "100% proof". Perhaps you should learn something about the legal system.
I wont rule out that posibility, but it is much more complex than that.

There is a qualitative difference between causes of death before and after ~75 yo. People in their 60s and 70s have a tendency to die from specific organ failure, - heart disease, liver disease, kidney disease, etc, - modern medicine has gotten really good at dealing with this kind of health problems.

People 80+, on the other hand, have a tendency to die from ageing itself. The deterioration in their body is generalized and they find it harder to bounce back after common illnesses and mild accidents, with a non trivial risk of complications always present. And even if they kind of recover, this just adds to the teardown of general health and it will be a little bit harder to recover the next round.

IMHO, the increase we see in people who reach the 100+ mark has more to do with they being people that have won the "genetics lottery". Their families just seem to age more gracefully and/or slowly than average; we are seeing them appear in greater numbers now because they would have died of specific organic disease a generation ago.

However, I am afraid that in order to see the kind of dramatic increase in maximum life expectancy, we would need to develop a different kind of medicine, one that deals directly with the aging problem, not with specific diseases. I don't think we are that close to such breakthrough as to expect to personally benefit from it, so I will count my blessings if I make it to age 80 or so.
Install the language how, and from where?

What if my package manager includes libs like those under "x"? Or if it excludes certain libs? Homebrew is capable of this for many languages.

What if my language includes different libs depending on install target, like targeting embedded environments? I think Rust does this.

I think there is a large grey area being overlooked.

EDIT: This is particularly true in PHP land. If I just install the meta php package in most distributions, I will get a different set of extensions included.

Neither the article nor the comments here have said anything about foreign money coming into London and buying up property as a hedge against problems in their own countries. And then the houses and apartments sit vacant.

I must have missed some things but they not only switched repository formats they moved the central to github [1]. All opensource projects on github is centralization in my book creates unfair leverage that github has and will have.

For people to work on Python they now have to share information with github which they may not want (they have to create an account and are probably tracked).

If shit were given to me about staying home with my sick child this is what I say: "If you'd like to stay home with my child I'll make it in or if you really want me in today I can make it if I bring my child in too.

I believe if the work is a "work for hire" (i.e. you were paid by a company to do it instead of doing it for yourself) then the timer for copyright expiry starts on the date the work was put into a tangible medium (rather than after the author's death). So assuming some Python developers do that work on company time, then those copyrights are owned by the company and it is legally relevant to include the year.
“Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me. They possess and enjoy early, and it does something to them, makes them soft where we are hard, and cynical where we are trustful, in a way that, unless you were born rich, it is very difficult to understand. They think, deep in their hearts, that they are better than we are because we had to discover the compensations and refuges of life for ourselves. Even when they enter deep into our world or sink below us, they still think that they are better than we are. They are different.”

Did Hitler Die at Fuhrerbunker?
Not really a a fair point. The G4560 is extraordinary value for the money. It is a dual core, but it has hyperthreading. And as much as I was surprised by this when the i3s showed it, hyperthreading helps a lot in situations where 4, well, I'd like to say cores, are expected. The G4560 is eating the whole budget processor market right now – but that does not mean that his example doesn't show something: There are a number of games by now that rely on having a processor that can power multiple threads. And those games profit a lot from having more cores – you can play with the Pentium, and it absolutely is the best pick for a budget build, but you still get budget performance. And that means there are some games that won't run very well with it, and some min-FPS will be lower than one would want.

The pendulum has swung so far far that (some) recent games began to run good on the old FX chips, see Watchdog 2. If not looking at budget chips, having multiple cores is attractive for gamers by now. Maybe the potential of hexa-cores is not used that much yet, but it is obvious that will come, and games like Battlefield 1 do use them already. I think those Ryzen hexa-cores have a very good chance at the market, if their single thread performance is high enough.

What I think is interesting is that cars are technically complex, yet there are a lot of car companies, each making cars their own way.

Ask HN: When you realize your idea isn't that original
A month ago while getting my feet wet with deep learning, I realized that it's a pain to find pre-trained models for use and inspection, so I've been working pretty hard to build a tool to host these models that are sparsely scattered across the web. However, tonight I found out that https://algorithmia.com/ does something pretty similar, albeit with less of a community-first, open source vibe.

I've fallen for this trap of thinking my idea is original before, and I have been wrong every time I've made that assumption.

Does anyone have any wisdom to impart for handling the realization that your idea isn't as special as you thought--after you've spent some time working on it?
There's nothing specifically required by a kernel to support new processors, except maybe power saving features, arguably unimportant for desktop. If you mean compiler optimizations, those are usually sent upstream way early..

A cursory Google search shows AMD first sending Zen (now Ryzen) patches to GCC as early as 2015. So, presumably it has been in a few recent compiler releases already.

In my experience, the abstractions that are helpful are the ones that significantly reduce complexity in the code using them by hiding details that we rarely need to see. Put another way, they separate interface from implementation and the resulting interface is significantly simpler. That lets us reason about our code at a higher level without getting bogged down in unnecessary details.

Most of the problematic abstractions I see in the real world don’t hide much complexity but still introduce extra complexity of their own (with the latter even becoming greater than the former in the worst cases) or often leak so we still have to drill down through the abstraction to understand what’s happening anyway. Arguably, these are just two sides of the same fundamental flaw.
I wanted to create a Medium account but decided otherwise, because of Medium's terrible UX:

- Images sometimes don't load, showing a swathe of a single color. In India, latency is much higher than the US, so I open multiple tabs, and start reading only when it finishes loading. Anyone who's trying to optimise should first make sure they don't mess up what has been working for two decades.

- I read an interesting blog post, so I clicked the author's name to go to his "profile page". I expected to see a list of his posts, but I found them interspersed with his comments on other posts, posts he recommended, random snippets of text in other posts he highlighted. Again, every other blog gets this right — go to the top-level page of the blog, and you get a list of posts in that blog.

- Commenting is bad. To sign in to Medium with a Medium account, it emails me a link to sign in. For every single comment I post. I don't want so many emails. Ideally, they should just use Disqus, so I don't have yet another account.

- In any case, after logging in, the box where I should type a comment wasn't clickable.

- When I opened a second Medium post just a few minutes later, I was again signed out, so couldn't comment.

- There's a persistent footer when I scroll, which reduces the visible screen area. Scrolling in a smaller screen area is irritating.

- Comments and posts are mixed up. I'm reading the comment on a post, and it says there are two responses, so I click that, and I'm suddenly taken away from the comments I'm reading. I never know on Medium whether a click will yank me away from what I was reading.

As you can see, Medium breaks a lot of things that were working with every other blog for many years. Please, if you want to innovate, make sure you don't already break what is the norm. That would be like making an "innovative" car that doesn't have seatbelts.

If this is considered "idealistic", I don't mind them failing.

Some important differences, as I understand it:

- polyunsaturated fats are the category that includes omega 6 and omega 3 fatty acids. Even further, omega 3's can be ALA (from plants) or DHA (e.g. salmon) variety. Omega 3's and in particular DHA have been shown to have anti-inflammatory and other health properties. Which is to say even within polyunsaturated fats there is a wide variety of alleged health effects, but when talking about cooking oils and processed foods we're almost certainly talking about other types than the type known to have health benefits.

- polyunsaturated fats can be hydrogenated which makes them solid at room temperature. So replacing butter with margarine typically means these types of fats. It was discovered relatively recently that trans fats (which are often the by-products of this) are almost certainly bad for you.

- polyunsaturated fats are the least stable, meaning they're more likely to break down into things that are probably not good for you (e.g. if deep frying with them).

- highly-processed foods tend to be high in polyunsaturated fats, and omega 6's in particular. This is the same category regular vegetable oil (e.g. soybean oil) falls in.

- olive oil is high in monounsaturated fat, is generally thought to be pretty healthy, and it doesn't have these same kinds of "gotchas" that polyunsaturated fats can. Historically the main reasons we think olive oil is healthy are that populations with less heart disease (e.g. Mediterranean populations) eat a lot of it, I don't know how much more recent research there is actually proving causation here.

- saturated fat is the other type, which can occur in plants like coconuts (healthy) or in butter, fatty meats like bacon and steak, etc. The history here is pretty fascinating, but through lots of misplaced assumptions of correlation/causation these are traditionally viewed as unhealthy (thus why people are doing these studies like replacing butter with other fats). AFAIU this debate is still ongoing, there is some evidence these really do raise your cholesterol but also some evidence that the particular kinds of cholesterol they raise aren't necessarily bad, in otherwise healthy people. I'm a bit unclear of this aspect.

I've concluded for me personally, this stuff is still so unknown that your best bet is just to keep your total calories under control and not worry about types of fat, with the exception of not eating any trans fats and prioritizing fatty fish if you can.
The tree doesn't tell you when the blob was last modified either. If they can show last modified time (and commit message), showing file size is surely even easier.

Bah. Anybody can clone a git repo. It's trivial to move off of github with a git repo if they want, or possible to migrate to another database if they want to go through the disruption.

Going to git is about gaining developer mindshare. There are more people using git now. So being on git will bring in more "drive by pr's". I know for my part, life is too short to keep current on multiple source code control tools. I've done plenty in my time, but git is where I'm at now. I use git now at work, and until now, all of the hobby projects that interested me except for 1, were on git. Now all are on git.

At PyCon 2016 Guido told the story of how Mercurial was selected over git. It seemed like an even match at the time. Guido is very source-code-control-tool-agnostic. But git is the current best path to enabling more people to help with cpython development.
