well, I wouldn't be OK with the Chinese owning an interest in Palantir that gave them insider access, fair enough, but the story is super light on details, including Abramowitz's role, why they fell out, why Jamie Dimon was going to get involved (must have felt they were out of line and there was an important issue involving important people).

If the China angle is an issue, then should it be an issue when Palantir gives immigration agents access to CIA files, ergo is involved in arbitrarily denying visas, ergo de facto building the 'Muslim registry'?

He's claiming a common lag reaction exists, that does exist. For example, the lectins in oatmeal are known to cause immune reactions with as much as a 3-day lag (common for our immune reactions in general, of course) if the oatmeal is not cooked for long enough. When did you last get a flu only an hour after exposure to a virus? Lag is common (not uniform) in our immune system reactions, which encompass a lot more than IgE reactions.

Findings from the study, which was led by researchers from Columbia University Medical Center (CUMC), were reported in the journal Gut.

"Our study shows that the symptoms reported by individuals with this condition are not imagined, as some people have suggested," said study co-author Peter H.

"It demonstrates that there is a biological basis for these symptoms in a significant number of these patients."

The chemical test positive happened to me too: they swabbed my bag and the machine beeped and I got a free full body massage.

This was when I was flying home from college for summer.

I explained it as "This is the bag I use for school: something must have touched it during chem lab".

I am a coward for saying this, but your objective when flying is to get to point B. So, make it easy on the jack-booted thugs.

Hey everyone,

Recover is a side project I’ve been working on to make it faster and easier to implement secure password recovery by reducing it to an API call. Working in the agency world, I have to implement “forgot my password” functionality pretty frequently. While the backend code can be copy/pasted between projects, things like emailing services, frontend implementation, and domain authentication cannot be reused. However:

What if you don’t have or need an emailing service for anything beyond password recovery?
What if you don’t have a domain?
What if you don’t have a website?
What if the client doesn’t want to provide you with registrar access?

These are just some of the situations I’ve encountered which made adding password recovery more complicated and time-consuming than it should have been.

Recover is a backend-only implementation of password recovery. We handle sending the email, and we securely collect the user’s new password and send it to your server. It takes 5-10 minutes to set up.

I would love to get some feedback, either on here or at kevin@authentimate.com.

Thanks!

I sympathize with this a lot.

At least for scientific articles, it usually helps if you're willing to spend enough time to familiarize yourself with the technical jargon. As a somewhat dated example, "Higgs particle evidence" will turn up lots of crappy new articles, but "CMS Higgs abundances" will immediately return high quality relevant results.

Of course, you have to figure out the right lingo int the first place, but usually you can mine arXiv/PubMed/etc for this kind of thing. Wikipædia usually has links to some kind of primary source.

This is the standard.. from 30-90 days of initial report to no intent/comment on fixing.

If they did show intent of fixing the issue (by responding to his last 2 requests), then most researchers hold off on full-disclosure for some more time (depends usually on if they think the issue is being exploited in the wild or not).

In this particular case, given the sequence of events, the disclosure would be considered responsible by the security industry.

IgE allergies show up quickly - but many allergy (mast cell) reactions, are not IgE reactions and may take considerably longer to show up (for example, MCAS reactions generally peak in the middle of the night, unlike IgE reactions.)

Our immune system is complex, IgE is just a tiny part of it. Some introductory reading:

MCAS = Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

One of the difficulties in thinking about "gluten sensitivity" and food sensitivities in general, is that it glosses over the complexity of the situation.

For example, when you eat a food, it may interact with your gut biome. In fact, it can change the composition and activity of the bacteria in your gut. For some diseases, it is becoming increasingly clear that the primary cause of the problem is not the food, but how the gut biome reacts to the food. If your body is unable to properly absorb the food, gut bacteria may have an over-abundance of nutrients, causing them to grow too much and release toxins in the body, damaging your ability to absorb food, while also potentially poising you in the process.

This has been implicated in diseases as far ranging as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's, autism, and Celiac disease.

Scientists are finally beginning to catch on to the complexity of the situation. I have Crohn's disease, and am just now starting the Specific Carbohydate diet. The basic idea of the diet is that it starves the bacteria, by limiting foods that reach the final phase of the digestion process, where the problematic bacteria exist. There have been two new studies released this year with positive results. Sadly, its difficult to get funding for this kind of research; the monetary incentives are not there the way they are for drug companies.
Why take the risk? If anything goes wrong you either lose the asteroid with unpredictable results, or worse, it crashes uncontrollably. With the moon, you really don't have to care. It's also a useful "base" for any other exploration or industry we'd care to have, without having to overcome the Delta-v of something like Mars.
Note that the current blood test for celiac disease will give a false negative if you haven't been eating wheat and have been avoiding gluten for some time, so it's perfectly possible to be celiac and be diagnosed as definitely not celiac if your doctor doesn't know this (which many don't.) Even a probe examination of the small intestine may give you a pass if you have been avoiding gluten for, say, months. The expected damage won't be there.
Alienation, atomization of communities, and commoditization of people are features of capitalism, not bugs. Just saying.
There's two kinds of apologies, and they look very similar on the surface. There's "Sorry for this problem, but here's why it's not my fault" and there's "Sorry for this problem. Here's what happened". Am I taking the blame for the failure of others, or deflecting the blame onto others?

This feels a lot more like the latter, and it's wonderful to see. I'm sure it's a lot harder to write, but it shows a heck of a lot more integrity.

Hi,

Netlify CTO here.

You're right, everything that the CMS does currently could also be done with raw Git messages. The CMS is designed to have pluggable backends. We had an early version working with Git directly. We decided to focus in one backend at a time rather than having several half integrated because the core features were evolving too fast to support several backends initially.

We plan on support raw Git in the future again. It's a matter of making sure it's useful for more people other than developers that already know how to use Git.

The countries you've listed... do they strike you as likely to "get prepared"? Even if they did, what could they do?
AlphaGo relied heavily on (supervised) pretraining, and that seemed fairly successful.
The takeaway from this research wasn't "this is all in people's heads", it's "there's something else about wheat that has a negative impact on some folks; science's best guess has been that it's gluten, but it's likely something else in wheat."

Here is, for example, an article written by a less linkbaity news source than Business Insider: http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/05/22/314287321/sen...

If folks have doubts about whether some sensitivity to wheat exists in some people, searching PubMed for "gluten sensitivity" or "NCGS" should hopefully dispel those doubts.

Haha I haven't written any letters to the Maine legislature if that's what you're worried about.

If the food spoils, no one's going to force "Maine residents" to eat it. Rather, the person who hires and schedules workers will lose some money. Next time he'll do a better job of scheduling. Or maybe he'll go out of business, and his competitor will do a better job of scheduling. Since she's not such a skinflint, she'll pay both the fishermen and the packers more. Then she'll charge the customer more, but that's OK because the low-cost competitor just went out of business. If fish costs too much, then the government can subsidize it.

Agricultural subsidies and time-and-a-half are both more widely established Chestertonian traditions than this weird northeastern "screw the packers" thing some lobbyist dreamed up. Trust the market, dude.
If you're traveling with someone you know, one trick to ending the pat down early is to try to embarrass the agent while in a sensitive area.

> uncertainty about the harmful effects of that radiation

Personally I don't think there is much there to be concerned about. We know these waves penetrate less than 1mm into your skin, and that the only way they can cause damage is by thermal effects. We know it's not ionizing radiation, not by a long shot. I believe getting a sunburn at the beach is far worse.

I think the privacy concerns, and the frequently low efficiacy/high-false-positive rate of these machines are far more cause for concern.

> However, a "useless" commit like that probably opens the code up to merge conflicts and other problems everyone else will get on your case about.

That is a social problem not a technical one.

You need to sell the idea to your team to try to improve the code base with every commit you do. Every time you need to make changes in some source file, see what clean up you can do to it as well.

Depending on the morale/motivation/priorities of the team, this can be a harder sell than it should be.

Lead by example. Show good judgement on how much to do. Small changes accumulate fast. Don't upset/hinder people by changing vast tracts of code that they need to work on.
