It's definitely a concern. So far they have just bought very heavy duty cases and I don't think the young students are allowed to transport them. Somewhat surprisingly, I don't believe they've had any broken screens either out of hundreds of iPads (one per child).

What's even crazier is that many of these kids have learned how to use an iPad, gestures, games, etc before they can even read or write.

Corn is in many things:
http://fooderyboston.com/corn-is-everywhere/

Corn has tons of added sugar through genetic tinkering, as well as many other plants:
https://mobile.nytimes.com/2013/05/26/opinion/sunday/breedin...

Within one generation, the new extra sugary varieties eclipsed old-fashioned sweet corn in the marketplace. Build a sweeter fruit or vegetable — by any means — and we will come. Today, most of the fresh corn in our supermarkets is extra-sweet. The kernels are either white, pale yellow, or a combination of the two. The sweetest varieties approach 40 percent sugar, bringing new meaning to the words “candy corn.” Only a handful of farmers in the United States specialize in multicolored Indian corn, and it is generally sold for seasonal decorations, not food.

We’ve reduced the nutrients and increased the sugar and starch content of hundreds of other fruits and vegetables. How can we begin to recoup the losses?

Unfortunately, as far as I can tell neither of the links that wikipedia links to actually contains the 1999 date and if academia.edu was founded in 2008 then that was after the rules for transfer of a .edu domain were tightened. So there is some real detail missing from how they got the domain name.
I once told a friend about Mike Duncan's History of Rome Podcast. The friend asked "is it funny?" I didn't get it, but my girlfriend told me, "oh, yeah, everything has to be funny these days."

This over and over again.
I've heard some claims that blending would break up the fruit in too small many pieces leading to sugars that absorb more quickly - but I've never seen anything to back these claims.

One difference is of course that when you eat the fruit, you chew it. This takes time and this may give some "food coming, hunger over" signal to the brain. Smoothies are so easy to drink that you might be getting way more fruits than you would normally eat.
But as an inexperienced C developer, I found it quite helpful.
I think your personal experience is called an anecdote, not data.
On the other hand, if you buy it in a store it's likely made from fruit that didn't look good enough to sell.

Highschool dropout as well. I see LinkedIn as sort of the antithesis of GitHub.

Whereas LinkedIn is sort of a social proof via credential, GitHub is social proof via work product.

Plenty of people smarter than me have written about the diminishing value of credentials and credentialism as social proof[0]. I believe that is partially why LinkedIn is such a cess-pool/shit-show.

Maybe it's my bias from being a dropout that only my work product has ever mattered. I believe there's room for a social network to replace LinkedIn with a "GitHub for non-tech people". Perhaps this would have a mix of credentials and a way to show ones work.

We've successfully convinced our two-year-old that unsweetened, carbonated water is "juice". She frequently goes to restaurants and is very excited to get "juice" from the bar, and considers it a special treat. Eventually this will surely fail when her friends can explain reality. But until then it's working great to avoid massive loads of sugar in her early years.
I tried to make the iPad my primary 'travel' device. My problem was the lack of multi-tasking (I was surprised how often I reference the web, or a document when writing an email) and no mouse support. I get that that the iPad is a "Post-PC device", but if you're using a keyboard (by the way, keyboard shortcuts on iPad were terrible) anyway, the mouse is actually a really good, productive peripheral - but Apple ideology doesn't believe in using mice with tablets.
I'm curious where? Someone actually pays you to do this?

Or perhaps you are someone whose parents scrupulously followed government nutrition recommendations when they raised you and your siblings, and you and your siblings continued following those recommendations for yourselves as adults, and for your children.

You and and your siblings all turned out fat and diabetic, and you've all got fat children, and you've concluded that maybe some of those government recommendations were driven more by politics and preservation of profit than by science.

So now you are inclined to be skeptical of government recommendations, especially where the recommended actions benefit someone with a big lobbying apparatus.

Please stop using "AI" to describe simple algorithms like this. This has nothing to do with the field of artificial intelligence. The code just extracts individual characters from the image and compares them visually to a prepared database of known fonts, using the hamming distance. You wouldn't call OCR an "AI algorithm", would you?

Edit: "nothing to do" is not accurate, but AI is definitely not an appropriate term to use here
Because science; believe it or not, scientists aren't that stupid, they've thought of all of that and tested for it to ensure their conclusions are correct. Your two seconds of thought on the subject don't come close to how much thinking has been put into the issue by thousands of people over many decades of effort to understand these things.
Smoothies and juice are different. If you are juicing something, you are straining out all of pulp and just ending up with a liquid. For a smoothie, the pulp is still in the drink, just pulverized.
> If these are undermined, the democratic process is undermined

Assuming it's being undermined, I need an explanation of how.

> and that their political opponents are unworthy of participating in the democratic process

When was ever suggested the opponents are unworthy of participating? They will hear the fight for climate change and they can react appropriately. Either joining the cause or explaining why it shouldn't be joined. The kind of dialog the political system needs.

> Science is based on beliefs as well.

Last I checked, it was based on proofs and data.

Belief may be a catalyst to start the process and elaborate a hypothesis, but just that. If one gets stuck on belief, it's not science.

> Maybe by "beliefs" you mean "religion," in which case you should use that word.

I mean beliefs, like climate change being a hoax. That's not a conclusion of any study. That's a lie someone made up for political gain.

> The scientific process is not a competition,

That's what I mean. People don't decide what's the truth. Or at least they shouldn't, because the truth doesn't change when you change your beliefs.

There may be competitions against teams for a specific goal. But science is inherently non partisan, and the goal benefits us all.

> It is up to the practitioner to apply it in a useful, ethical way.

And what is unethical about preparing for a likely event that affects us all? What is ethical about preventing it?

> Again, not following you. By what means does this happen?

People believing Trump when he said climate change is a hoax.

> Do you actually not understand how corrupting the democratic process hurts everyone?

We have different meanings for "corruption". In my definition, it involves favoring a candidate for hidden interests. HIDDEN interests. Because the people wouldn't approve. Dishonesty. But if I go and tell everyone what I think about climate change, how is that dishonesty? How is that lying?

You see my point? Yes, I do agree honesty is important. But also subjective and I don't think this would be remotely dishonest.

And then you dare to talk about corruption, which caused this very issue we want to solve!

> casually dismissing my arguments as "feelings,"

Because it's a subjective interpretation. Dishonesty implies lying. And it would be a "lie" that offsets actual damaging lies wildly spreading around.

In any case, assuming it's unethical, we might be facing a dilemma, where we have to choose to deviate a train to kill one person (a very bad one and condemned to death, but a person after all), or not to touch the lever and kill 100 innocent people.

I think you're doing the latter by inaction, and condemning the former because it's unethical.

> The confusion of "authenticity" with "quality" in the comments here is really embarassing.

I don't necessarily disagree, but a lot of the time "authentic" can be a decent indicator of quality. In my experience, the best food comes from people who actually eat the food themselves and people who are making the food for motivations other than simple monetary motivations. That's the issue with a lot of "inauthentic" food - the people who make it don't necessarily like it or enjoy eating it, but and are often making it to appeal to what they view as the norm for the surrounding culture in an attempt to make more money.

It's not that non-authentic food can't be great, it's just that often times it's more of a cheap cash-grab. It's the same reason you wouldn't expect food at a movie theater or sports stadium to be great (though there are exceptions).

I don't think it's even about what country you're in. You have similar situations with American food in downtown Manhattan, Italian food in downtown Rome, Chinese food in Shanghai, etc., leading to a lot of low quality food in those places. I actually had more luck finding good, authentic Chinese food when I was traveling through the tourist areas of Italy than I did finding good authentic Italian food.
Extracting characters from an image and comparing them to a database of known fonts using a naive distance metric can be called AI? Really?

I'm personally not a fan of the term free software. It makes me think of trashy freemium software filled with ads and tricks to get you to install browser extensions. Using the term open source creates a nice distinction between ad funded software and truly free software.
The evidence of actual sites in production disproves your assertion. Look at this site or the d language forum for speed. No need for to make a js frontend, and in many cases no need to load pages incrementally.

You can use plain Ajax and where appropriate while rendering server side. You can do incremental updates in the isolated cases where it is required very easily without moving everything to js on the client.

tDOM is an XML parser based on expat that provides both a SAX and a DOM parser. It parses into its own DOM that one can then run XPATH expressions against or manipulate as one sees fit with tDOM's interface methods.

Unfortunately the DOM for tDOM is not the web browser DOM that Javascript interfaces with. Same term, so very confusing, but not the same DOM's.

>Relocating billions of dollars of economic production is going to cause significant loss of production, especially when a certain percentage of people prefer to waste away uselessly in place, like Trump's coal miners and the rust belt layoffs of a previous generation, instead of finding a role in the new economic order.

You mean the "new economic order" in which wages for blue-collar workers have been falling for decades, while we also cut the welfare state, leaving most of these people too indebted and impoverished to move for work, which wouldn't help anyway because there just aren't that many well-paying jobs?
I really wish people would understand that allowing companies to pollute without compensating the people they poison is just as much of a subsidy as dropping a fat deposit into their bank account every month.

That recent rule change where coal mining companies are once again allowed to dump their waste into streams? That was Republicans passing a subsidy for coal mining. Every time Republicans block or roll back environmental regulations, that's subsidizing polluting industries.

I would assert the contrary, that the types of software projects that benefit from keeping the source secret are the minority. Most software is written to fill some immediate and boring need, not as a commercial product or business logic secret sauce. There's no real downside to sharing that - most likely no one finds it useful, but on the off chance they do you suddenly have help with it.

Admittedly it's a bit of a prisoner's dilemma; no one wants to put in the (certain) effort of packaging up their software for external consumption for the (uncertain) benefit of external help. But the culture is definitely shifting.
I ignored LinkedIn's "get complete!" messages for a long time. One night I sat down with the curiosity of hitting 100% on LinkedIn. I now have an "all-star profile", whatever that means, and in a top some percentage of profiles.

At the end of the day, it just means more people look at my profile.

It may be jumping to conclusions to say I get no value out of it — it's a mixed bag. More contacts from people I know about legitimately good opportunities, and them seeing my face pop up more on LinkedIn might play a role in that. But it also means more contact from recruiters, and usually that means spammy third party recruiters. I mostly just don't respond to them anymore.
I seem to recall Google severely limits the tracking in their education products? I don't have time to research it right now but maybe someone else knows?
