I think there is something else to this. Most highly productive Lua applications I've seen, been involved in, &etc., are bound to system-level libs/api's, etc. So the thing about Lua as a scripting language like Python, is that you can use it like that. But the major power of the language is when you apply it by glom'ing it into some bundle of C/C++ libraries that are, indeed, BYO-batteries...

Like, Lua is bring-your-own battery, true. For everything else, there's Penlight/luarocks, though.
I think you're assuming that you can count the jar between pulls. (That was my initial reading also.) In that case, you guess your first number, count the jar, and then work backwards for all subsequent pulls.

But on rereading, the info to prove isn't "I know how many beans were here to start", it's "I'm capable of counting this jar of beans by looking at it". So if you guess right on the first trial, you still won't know the beans-remaining count, and will have to guess on the next trial too.

This is made super confusing by the claim that it's a ZKP of the initial count. That's narrowly true, but the real question at hand is whether you can count the beans.
The answer is not very hard. People like to attribute everything to regulation but the reality is that most parts of living standards improve when incomes grows.

As China becomes richer they will go threw the same stuff that Britain and later the US did.

Maybe I don't fit the bill as 'envoirmentalist' but I like to live in a place and country with a clean envoirment.

> What's the big deal about working full time in big corp?

I think it depends upon what you want in life from your current situation. Having worked extensively in both startups and big corps, I've enjoyed working for startups where my work and ideas can make a huge impact on the business, far more than in the corporate world. And both have asked me for extra hours at crunch times, but at a startup they know they are asking a lot, and there's a chance for abstract future rewards as a result. When I've had mandatory unpaid extra hours at a big corp, I got a couple of slices of "free" pizza (and I got to not be fired).

In recent years I've worked for small established businesses/non-profits, and I enjoy the happy medium.
You're missing the point.

You're criticising 'plugins and templates' that make use of the global scope, while giving the WordPress core a free-ride for not just using global scope, but placing objects there that can be exploited.

This is quite objectively true. Take a 50% paycut but along with that also cut down the cost of living. Something like Germany today, wages are smaller than in US but the costs of living make their citizens happy(er).

Then there will be less wage discrepancy compared to China and co and jobs start coming back.

GI/GL is important for diabetes/prediabetes. The number is of course reasonable (mid-low GI/GL).

I don't see result by searching "glycemic site:slimfast.com". There are some numbers posted on other websites (e.g. http://www.glycemicindex.com/foodSearch.php?num=1469&ak=deta... which looks credible), but compare to Soylent's disclosure (https://faq.soylent.com/hc/en-us/articles/212769503-Glycemic...) I'm more confident to choose Soylent instead of SlimFast.

Out of curiosity, I also searched GI/GL info on amplemeal.com and found nothing.
Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployments Best Practices
Companies are looking for what you as a candidate can do for them.

A Udemy course signals some level of "I tried to learn this thing." So that's a start.

Even better is "I built X", where X is obviously based on skill you learned. In which case you can omit the class because you have proof of learning, not just trying to learn.

Even better is "I provided business value V to my employer by building X." Because now you're showing how this skill is useful.

Ideal is you write the above, but emphasize V (or choose between multiple things you can list) in a way that suggests you can help the needs of the particular company you're applying to.

So there's having the skill (which is good), but there's also how you present it to show it will provide value (also important).

Hackers are stealing money from Bank accounts exploiting flaws in #SS7 protocol
I used to work for a robotics company that made heavy use of OSGi.

We also wrapped OSGi in a services framework we created (and by that, I mean my boss wrote it, and then I added some features and bugfixes later), which we open-sourced.

What's really cool is that the Flow stuff from the article resembles a publish/subscribe library that we wrote and also open-sourced (under the name JFlux, even), which in turn was built on some interfaces that bear a resemblance to the Java 8 functional interfaces, except written for Java 6.
A lot. As in they've been targeting Boeing, Airbus, etc for a long time now. It's still a lot of work though, even after you've stolen the information. The ability to create modern manufacturing capabilities is a lot harder to steal.

British did it to the Chinese many decades earlier of course. Darjeeling tea was mostly developed by stealing the highly coveted tea secrets from China. Decades before that, America was able to greatly advance its industrial capability by stealing secrets from the UK.

"Cyberspies: The Secret History of Surveillance, Hacking, and Digital Espionage" covers this pretty well. Also goes into Chinese telecom hardware that was completely stolen from Cisco, bugs and all.

Are you a soylent stakeholder? It's puzzling why you would invalidate someone's experience with such a condescending tone.

Soylent is just another hyped up SV junk. The rest of the world does not give a shit about having to cook because they don't have much to eat.

I personally wouldn't touch Soylent and leave it up to some 30 year old engineers with no understanding of the food industry.

The CEO is super fucking annoying always pushing that shitjuice and looking at ppl confused "why are you still eating lol thats a waste of time". This is exactly what an engineer on the autism spectrum will tell you.

Fuck Soylent.

Thank you for mentioning Ample, as I hadn't heard of it before. I'm a T2 diabetic, so I've been avoiding Soylent because of the carb content. Ample looks like it's made of things I'd actually feel good about putting in my body vs the maltrodextrin/oat base of Soylent. I went ahead and ordered a 12 pack to give it a try.
> There will be a time where these 6 figure jobs that some HN users have, will go down by 50%. Why? Better coders outside of the US, UK, EUR, etc.

One of my clients is one of the largest multinational corp. in the world. They're excellent at getting things done, above average at remote work, and obviously have offices around the world. Their primary industry has a drastically changing demographic in the US which is prompting a hiring wave of younger people. They would love nothing more than to hire most of them outside of the US. The schools in several countries in Asia outperform the US in the necessary areas of study and they speak fine English. I'm not talking about India. My client is working very hard to make this a reality. They will eventually pull it off. These jobs are all very good paying white collar jobs. I'm telling you the middle class in the US hasn't seen the beginning of the devastation they are about to endure.

This is a trend that will continue until all labor is (as) equal (as an imperfect market will allow) no matter the geography. I see no trends (other than nationalism) that will make this stop.
You are entirely missing the point.

Of course you should know the basics, in fact, you should know everything otherwise what you build will be insecure. But traditionally the 'systems programmers' took care of those details for you and you could write your application in a wonderful trustworthy world. Until ~1992 hacking into a remote system was remarkably hard because there was far less software and that software had been vetted extensively before it was deployed by people who knew what they were doing.

Now it's a free-for-all where everybody with $5 to spare can spin up a VPS and slap some insecure bunch of webstuff on it or cook it up themselves. That's a completely different situation.
> Young folks with few savings taking a few months off work don't have three months of Soylent money ;-)

thru-hiker here. I did it on $2k of credit cards, which is the least of anyone i met personally. a dehydrated meal with 350 calories costs $5 minimum, requires cooking (fuel cost/weight), and requires time/energy for your body to digest.

a soylent powder meal costs $2.

The headline makes it sound as if abusing SS7 was all they needed to do but in fact they had to have the other factor as well so it really is not quite as scary as it at first appears. It also seems from the article that the thieves were able to log in to the accounts with just a password and only needed the SMS to sign transactions.

It's different here in Norway; the banks require two factor authentication to log in as well as signing transactions.

I don't claim it's perfect but at least no one can log in unless they control both factors.
No economist makes the argument that free trade is better for all americans. Thats simply not what economic theory says.

No, collisions are a very real risk. In fact, they've already happened. In 2009, an Iridium satellite accidentally collided with a Russian satellite. Space-X is talking about quadrupling the number of existing satellites, so collisions will be more likely and the resulting debris increases the chances of subsequent collisions much more. This escalating effect is know as Kessler Syndrome (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kessler_syndrome).
> Despite the fact that I was only consuming 2000 calories, 500 less than recommended for my size/weight/age/sex, I managed to gain weight.

2500kcal is only suitable for people living a very active lifestyle or exercising a lot. Note that going to the gym for 45minutes 3 times a week is not being active.

When I spent an hour lifting heavy weights 5 times a week, my weight was stable at around 2500kcal.

The reality is that unless you work as a construction worker or other type of job that keep you active most of the day and/or exercise a lot (my 5x a week were heavy compound powerlifting lifts), chances are you need to adjust those recommendations down substantially.

Ultimatly the only thing you can do is to gradually lower your intake until you're losing weight. That you were adding weight at 2000kcal is not that surprising.

I've not tried Soylent, but I've trued Huel, and compared to what you described it seems a lot more pleasant, and more importantly, if anything I've found it hard to eat enough on it because it fills me up so much. The biggest problem for me in using it as much as I'd like is that filling me up doesn't stop me craving food - it's a reward thing for me.
I don't agree. It's simply that some vendors are untrustworthy.

GI/GL is not directly related to the carbohydrate number on nutrition fact table. The number must be tested in a controlled environment.

Well, you could do arrays of strings and objects instead of key:value pairs. Although I suppose there would be a lot of superfluous quotes, and part of the point is to optimize for mobile...
FWIW, China actually did exactly this with the Comac ARJ21 - the "smaller, regional jet" already flying that was mentioned in this article. Most groups outside China believe that the ARJ21 is produced using some manufacturing tooling that was left in China after McDonnell Douglas (now part of Boeing) ended an early 90s program to produce MD80/MD90 series aircraft in China. It's been reported that some early plans for the airplane were actually copies of McDonnell Douglas plans with the logo changed.

China, of course, denies this, but the ARJ21 is very similar in design to many McDonnell Douglas aircraft.

That is a much more obtuse view of the state of neuroscience than is deserved. Sure, it started out as, oh this part of the brain needs more oxygen when remembering something, and oh, if that part of the brain is removed then people cant remember much . But it progresses to, ah this part of the brain is important to memory that binds multiple features, not within objects,but between objects. oh, computational models suggest pattern separation and completion operations that allow orthoganalization of activity during encoding of similar memories and retrieval of all the pattern of activity from reactivation of part of the activity. So lets make an experiement that modulates similarity between memories and modulates the completeness of retrieval cues for bound percept pairs, and/or in animal models directly modulate activity in the sub parts of that brain region thought to be reponsible for separation or completion operations to see if we can impair or enhance separation or completion operations. Anyway, thats just my field.

I think this is overestimating how qualified the coders are in the east compared to their western peers. Everyone I've known from Hong Kong decried the education of mainland China. They said the education comes down to repeating book knowledge, so just memorization, and the inability to handle scenarios not covered by that.

I'll be more concerned once leading technologies that are used by the rest of the world come out of China and not from the US.

I'm just making my way out of a course called Health Informatics. Most of what we've done is look at HIPAA, and the standards that make sending patient info from one hospital to another possible. In general the whole situation in a mess. I understand the purpose of not sharing identifiable data with the world, stops people from targeting people because of their conditions. But we have a wealth of information that's been made effectively useless from a research perspective.

this isn't much of a question, just wanted to express my frustration with the whole thing as well. that said I've got a lot of respect for your mission, and the balls required to publish your otherwise HIPAA protected info.
> 1g/pound is an old bodybuilder myth according to this article

Except that every time I've ever seen/heard it from bodybuilders it has always been 1g per lean pound which fits pretty well with your 0.82 figure accounting for typical bodyfat percentages. So your article is arguing a strawman and they've been right all along.
It's been a pattern for a long time. I remember lot of startups back in the 90s built without any conceivable purpose or goal besides "being bought by Microsoft".

I've always thought it would be a great (albeit risky) way for someone who is talented but stuck in a go-nowhere job to get a nice bonus and/or raise:

1. Quit your job doing X

2. Found a company to do some related Y

3. A year layer or so, get purchased by your old company for the technology.

It's also an alternative way to get a new job somewhere where you can't seem to get through the interview funnel. I'd imagine that at some Silicon Valley companies it's easier to get acquired than get hired.
Except Soylent marketed itself as a replacement. All those shakes you talk about are aimed at supplementing. They weren't stupid enough to tell people to live on it because of the legal liability.
