> What's the answer? Protectionism?

If you have the means, invest with the wealth makers. I'd buy into SPY or FANG and let these CEOs do the work for me while I relocate to a low CoL location.

Does it scale? Probably not. I honestly can't think of any other way to make ends meet one my skills become moot.
What exactly is the downside of that? Is it really that wrong that bright employees who make the actual product have a little more leverage?
That would be extremely interesting, indeed.

Soylent has said they were looking into having studies done, but I don't recall what the details were or when it was planned for.

While anecdotal evidence isn't enough, it's fairly common to see people posting results of their blood work after a few months of Soylent. But I'd personally love to see some more details and unbiased tests in an "official" study.
Are Test Audiences Ruining Movies?
Huel is the only one I've tried, and I've liked it enough. The flavour is not great by itself (a sweet, malty vanilla flavour for the flavoured one, which is a little weird but fine), but I tend to blend in ice and coffee or fruit (bannas and blueberries, raspberries, all work well). The flavour packs they sell didn't do much for me, they seemed too sweet for my taste (I didn't try them all though).

The other big thing I found was the texture improves a lot if blended or left in a fridge for a time before drinking. Shaken and drunk straight away the texture isn't great.
That's exactly the right frame. Globalism "totally fucked" the american worker in the sense that the western working class broadly hasn't seen any net improvement in quality of life over the last two decades or so. Certainly nothing to compare with the gains seen in the western professional classes.

Globalism also quite literally lifted hundreds of millions of non-western (mostly, not exclusively chinese) workers out of destitution and into the middle class.

Let's keep some perspective on this, please. We can certainly do better with equality of opportunity here in the US, but let's check that privilege a little before demanding to unwind all the gains made elsewhere. To the rest of the world, the 1960's were a nightmare, not a golden age.
Oh boy, another Soylent thread.... Here is how the comments are going to go: Half the commenters are going to say Soylent is not supposed to be for every meal, it's just for when you are too busy to eat. The other half cannot fathom ever using Soylent because if they are too busy to eat they will quit their job first, no exceptions. Neither side can bridge the gap, as food culture is very unique to each person. Let the market sort it all, props to Soylent for letting that happen and not wringingtheir hands over all of it.

(For the record, I would quit my job before skipping meals; they are actually that important to me staying sane)

If I understand this correctly, does it not imply that there is a class of statements/ideas which Penrose (or I) can deduce, but which cannot be algorithmically proved? - If so my next question is: what is an example of such a statement?

So far, this seems to only be used for parking signs, where visibility isn't as much of a concern.

Zapier launches $250/month team accounts
I was just building a Jekyll blog and was saddened to see the SASS version of Basscss hasn't been updated in the last year. The maintainer in the docs said that PostCSS is the best way to go, but I was trying to avoid using Node. That might be impossible these days when doing front-end.

Regardless, I know managing OSS is tough but I hope JXNBLK keeps active on the project and other people help him out.
It's interesting, thanks for the link.

Coincidentally, I also experienced a similar effect to the somewhat famous "two humped camel" programming aptitude test [1]. This paper argued that you can split candidates into two normal distributions based on aptitude. In my own tests, what I experienced was more of an extremely long tail on the right side, which is actually somewhat similar to the linked paper.

In our own tests, had a bunch of people fall into the 40-60% range, but there was a small bunch of people clustered around 100%, which are just people who could have scored 100%+ being binned down to the max score, and not a second normal distribution.

Stop trying to handle env at the domestic level; measures only work at an international level (UN regulations or tariffs/sanctions or whatever).

But that's for later society (ones with people with stable livelihoods) to figure out, not currently on the table. If you allow yourself to be paralyzed by one issue tapping into the next, you'll deadlock yourself. One issue at a time. The environment is the least of the american worker's immediate concerns anyways, you might as well save your breath in that context.

(Yes, the environment is fucked, "sooner the better" etc - but that's idealism, not pragmatism, and guess which by which one the world actually turns. Bringing up noise just impairs yourself to communicating with the public.)
The Soylent of today doesn't claim that though. It says right on bottle that it can replace a meal but it should not replace every meal. In that respect it's not much different than Ensure or other meal supplements.

The power of SQL views in data reporting: Taming organizational complexity
Mercedes reliability has always been a joke, as any consumer reports study will tell you. They are more a tribute to German marketing than engineering.

In any case, there are plenty of high end manufacturers in the american south. BMW and Boeing in SC, just off the top of my head, for example. Stereotypes are wrong, sometimes.
That probe is pretty small, but keep in mind that many of these need to be tucked into existing circuit breaker panels while maintaining certain clearances for regulatory reasons. They also need to be easy to install for safety and product adoption reasons.

I think we are saying similar things though. I worked on this project with Verdigris (though I was not personally responsible for the design of these probes) and, to your original point, the challenge is fitting these at a reasonable cost while achieving the desired accuracy. I guess I'm so used to low manufacturing costs being a given that I tend to focus more on the other aspects of the problem.
They did it against Google, Facebook, and Youtube as well.
Anonymize then let the flood gates open.
Good feedback, when I initially was diagnosed and wanted to start working on this problem I had no idea what a medical record looked like so I didn't know what the data I'd be working with looked like which can be tricky to do a data project without knowing the data structure :) I just wanted to share mine in case anyone wants to tackle something medical record related in the future they'll be able to see what the data sets they'll be working with may look like!

The clinical trial bit is our specific use of that data
Nope! I just realized that this might be a pattern and not a one-off. :)
Well, that's the way it's meant to be. Exploratory analysis doesn't have the same purpose as hypothesis testing.
Meal replacement shakes like Ensure are meant to be supplemental to food. Soylent markets their product as ALL you have to eat, if you so desire. That could have a very different outcome on someone's health. The OP was giving his experiences with it.

All of this is super cool but what I really want is async/await. Every day I wish I had it. I know everyone has some pet thing they want, but I can't imagine async/await being nothing short of a game changer for Java. Why is it never mentioned? Will it ever happen?
This is actually one of my fury triggers whenever the spouse is watching trashy reality shows on television.

I recall from my early public education that my peers and I were all taught incorrectly. They told me and my classmates to use "I" rather than "me" in all compound nouns, rather than to use the correct pronoun. This is burned in my memory. It happened. Don't try to gaslight it. At least one teacher taught every last one of their students the wrong grammar.

For instance, this would be correct. "She and I [1] went to the theater, and the ticket-agent told her and me [2] that matinee prices ended at 4 PM." Countless fools would put "her and I" in position [2], sparking a righteous, impotent rage in my soul.

Also, it's "I know we English speakers can't speak...". Try taking out the descriptive. "I know us can't speak..." versus "I know we can't speak..." Select the correct pronoun, then put the descriptor back in.

That's not a massive ton of protein. It's probably a bit more than the average person is likely to make use of but I'd rather an extra 20g of protein than an extra 20g+ of sugar.
The answer, as I see it, is big dollars and moral focus. A VC investing a couple million bucks in a long-shot startup? You expect risk. Ditto, say, a $300k mortgage to a family of four, but that's more portfolio statistics.

Multi-billion dollar governments go bankrupt because of mis-management. Less "Uber For Dogs" and more "Enron", minus the intentional criminality. Governments go bankrupt because its citizen "shareholders" vote for continued debt accrual and negative EBITA. But citizens don't care. It's OPM: Other People's Money. Since they're also "customers", their goal is to get as much possible out.
I have grown to really like the MPLv2. It gives the protections of GPL for the code you actually wrote (changes need to be released) while still allowing closed source software to use your code as a library (it doesn't require releasing files not included in your code).

This means that a wider range of people/projects are likely to use your code, but any bugfixes or in-file features need to be open sourced. This results in a higher quality of code, more complete and rounded libraries, and not everybody's kitchen sink gets sent upstream for potential merging.
I couldn't stand it. It tasted bitter and fake to me. I have colleagues who swear by it though.
You mix marxism and communism, which is not the same thing. Which do you want to argue?

I consider Marx a clown, and marxism is a clown fiesta, and "capitalism" is the cause they fight against. Of course it contains "meaning".

Communism, on the other hand, is at least a valid idea. Its by no means viable, because its in direct conflict with human nature, survival instincts, intrinsic properties of physics and a bunch of other issues, but as a concept, communism is kinda cool.

Yes.

It also depends on the point of the assets. If you need a proof of concept, it doesn't need to be good at all, just enough to prove that the image/sound/whatever is showing up when it's supposed to. You should be good enough at photoshop/paint.net/whatever to push out some WIP assets.

If you want production quality assets, then you'll likely have to pay more. I think what the author is saying is build shit you can build. If you can't build shiny spaceships, then choose a different direction.
> 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.

You were eating too many calories. 2500 for maintaining body weight is a lot. Perhaps you were overestimating your activity level?

I agree that the in app purchase system is flawed and annoying for everyone. But I'm pretty sure developers can build trials natively. or am I not understanding your point?
> If meal replacement shakes have been around, then what is Soylent's value proposition and what makes it different?

Marketing. Initially based around the idea of replacing all food with it (which even the founder stopped doing during his initial trial).

It's tapping into a lot of sentiments around food as a "problem" or "nuisance", where a lot of the other shakes on the market have gone for the health and fitness angle, or the "I'm too important and busy to sit down and have breakfeast so I'll down a shake on the go" angle.

But it's not bringing much more than marketing.
Yes knowing what side of the road to drive on and understanding driving laws and being able to spend the currency you already have are indeed features.
As long as that means your funds are insured and will be replaced after they're stolen via SMS phreaking, I suppose that's not the worst answer they could have given you. Though I wonder how long it would take to get the replacement funds...

>Both false and misleading

Apologies, I should have said Soylent 1.5. Not sure why you decided to say "both false", however, given that sucrose most certainly has a GI of 65. Further, what is the relevance of saying _powder_. You realize that mixing a powder into water generally doesn't reduce its GI, right?

Further, saying "white bread is worse" is a laughable diversion. White bread is considered the unholy worst case for GI, so being better than it is not a high mark.
The problem with this is people don't like to take a loss, they will never be OK with taking one. Whether it's right or wrong is irrelevant, they wont' like it(the cause) and will rant and rave and possibly "do something about it"(the effect).

tldr; people don't like pay cuts, whether it benefits someone else or not.
I am not disagreeing with you, and I use the functional aspects of Python a fair bit. As I said I don't think learning new languages is a bad thing. But I do see some devs that collect languages / frameworks like football stickers. If you are learning a new one every second month you won't have much depth to your knowledge in any of them.

How You Will Die (2016)

The "more and smaller meals" applies only to people with diseases (diabetes, obesity, etc.). People prone to hypoglycaemia are called diabetics with insulin overdose. Moreover, soylent contains 18% of energy as added sugars which is about twice the recommended amount. That's how you get diabetes.

EDIT: nice touch linking to an article about obesity and the always-so-reliable daily mail. Kind of proves my point.
Apple's latest 10-K has them with 7.807 billion of long-lived assets in China; the majority of that is going to be manufacturing equipment.

It's not very far from his argument. The article quotes him as saying “We need a major revolution in our understanding of the physical world in order to accommodate consciousness. The most likely place, if we’re not going to go outside physics altogether, is in this big unknown—namely, making sense of quantum mechanics.”
The Sueddeutsche article claims that German customers were affected too. Most German banks I know of support TAN-generators[1] which are completely unhackable by any known methods.

False. If I take a BSD/MIT library and fork it, I don't need to contribute the changes back.

The MPL(v2) forces forks to be open source, but any files added to the project can remain closed source allowing it to be used as a library for closed source applications.
110% true, and I can give multiple examples of this

1) Fortunately I went to just one provider for all my treatment and they make the entire EMR extract available for patient download through their website (Sutter Health in CA) props to them for doing a great job at this

2) When dealing with issues w/ other family members and friends we've often only been able to get very minimal data extracts and had to actually fax in requests to get the full medical record sent to us on a CD weeks later.

3) Services are now popping up to do that for you, picnichealth, patientbank, etc. and they should be able to get your full detailed record to view for a cost instead of doing it yourself

For software I've written while working at companies I didn't have control over the license choice, but for that which I've written voluntarily nearly all of it (and there's quite a laundry list now) is under GPL or AGPL. This is because, as some other comments have mentioned, I want any other users of the software to have the same capabilities to change it as I did. I don't want there to be secret proprietary versions which then get distributed in closed form denying the potential for participation.

The ability of users to have genuine control over their systems has been under sustained attack for a long time. I may be only one developer but at least I can make a small ding in the dark empire of bad software practices.
C supports variable-length stack-allocated arrays, while C++ doesn't. So code like

void f() {
int x;
scanf("%d", &x); // read from user
int numbers[x]; // dynamic
}

is legal C, but not C++.

Also, the C "restrict" keyword doesn't exist in C++ either. Add in C's looser typing rules regarding conversions, and C and C++ are basically sibling languages at this point. Their common ancestor language being K&R-era C.
De-anonymizing medical records strikes me as a fairly easy problem to solve... the information is literally one large biometric database.
