Generally, you can rank apples based on fiber, sugar, and antioxidants. http://www.leonoredvorkin.com/henu/benapples.php

Granny smith have more fiber: https://olumialife.com/knowledge/are-granny-smith-apples-the...
Red delicious (particularly the dark red) have more antioxidants, although Granny smith is also high: http://www.healthextremist.com/comparing-apples-apples-antio.... Most of the antioxidants are in the skin, hence peeling / juicing tends to reduce them. But of course the antioxidants are also the bitter taste.
Golden Delicious and a lot of others are high in sugar and not much else, closer to candy in terms of food group: https://furthermore.equinox.com/articles/2013/10/apples

Overall I just buy the cheap apples; the differences aren't significant except to a connoisseur (easily adjusted for with supplements), and I prefer to spend my money on startups.
Ubuntu Touch was expected to have that. Their crowdfunding video for the Ubuntu Edge showed an Android e-mail app that read/wrote to the same datastore as Thunderbird when it was in desktop mode.

I'm not sure how it worked as Ubuntu Mobile really kinda died off and I never tried it myself.

There are many other projects that have attempted this (none of which I can remember, but I've seen this concept a bunch). It makes a lot of sense. Your phone is already running a Linux kernel. You should be able to create a chroot or a container system that has a standard Linux distribution. You add some hardware/hotplug hooks, some data-sync apps and you should have a Linux desktop hidden in your phone.
I'm waiting for a mass movement of artists to offer direct sales at reasonable prices. I would love to own media files, but I currently don't even have the option of buying them in a sane (legal framework) and fair (to the artist) way at a reasonable price.

Until then I'm ok with streaming.

This initiative vs obedience seems a little wishywashy to me.
When do these shifts happen, is is cultural or only a matter of the who is in charge that day? Specially when applied in practice to the German army. Even if the pattern is true, there seem to be many, many far more relevant reasons for victory or defeat.

How is their culture deck one of the most horrific things you have ever seen in the tech industry?
The fact that NNs can generalize from simulated data to real data is very interesting. We can generate tons of simulated data of stuff like driving in simulators or even video games like GTA. And do experiments that would be way to dangerous or costly to perform in real life. It's not good when the first iteration of a reinforcement learner crashes the car at 60 miles per hour!

You can then add tons of randomization to the simulation to make sure it doesn't overfit to the particulars of the simulated data. Like random filters on the input, moving the camera around and vibrating it, making cars and pedestrians behave unrealistically erratically, etc, or having sensors fail. If it can learn to handle these extreme situations in the simulators, hopefully it would be generalize even to rare scenarios that occur in real driving.
What do you mean you miss it? It still is around. I use it all the time.
> I don't see the incentive for me to do that.

Oh, I don't know, to not be bad at what you do for a living so you can call yourself a professional without it being a farce?

I don't care what other people are doing and you shouldn't either. I care about doing the right thing and building good systems that work for people rather than expose them to risk and you should too--and that means understanding the breadth of your profession. The people who are pushing responsibilities onto you are the people that software is automating out of existence and are of no account except that you get to feel good by "pushing back" in ways that just make everything worse.
> Perhaps store bought red delicious suck but I think this hate is just misplaced elitism from people who've never had one off the tree.

I've had Red Delicious both directly off the tree and reasonably fresh from the farm, and they are, in either of those cases, generally far better than from the supermarket, true.

Even so, they aren't now as good as I remember them—even from the supermarket—from 30-35 years ago (they seem to be on average a lot more mealy now), and, even back then they were a middling variety for eating without preparation, and not particularly outstanding for any preparation I can think of.
I think you're talking about two different things: "will Google drop support" and "will Google invent something better"

Map Reduce is still supported today. Most teams have chosen to move to newer infrastructure because it is better. Nobody forced those teams to move.

Here Google has not dropped support, but has invented something better.

Maybe consider combining the resume service with a recruiter. If you aren't good at selling yourself, that's fine... just let someone else do it for you. That includes writing the resume and finding the leads.
You can generate lots and lots of simulated data. DL needs huge amounts of training data, and CG is basically a solved problem.

Actually, for me the most interesting thing is that training on synthetic images transfers so well to real camera frames. That means that I might actually be able to do some cutting edge stuff without a huge curated dataset.

> It's much harder to estimate the demand of a child care center than that of a gym or a cafeteria. Not every employee will become a parent and those who do so will only have one or two children in the lifetime.

not every employee (most?) is interested in gym, so why provide gym? you can make survey or research to estimate what size of childcare you will need

> On top of that, some would prefer an outside child care service, specially if the position has a lot of traveling involved (can your partner or caregiver bring the kid to campus when you are not there?) Even if you decide to do it. ¿How many people should you hire? ¿What happens when the employee is fired or quits? (it's hard to find a daycare center in short time), add insurance, etc...

just put in contract childcare ends same time as contract, simple as that, it's just bullshit excuse not provide option hiding it behind caring about well-being of employee
Woah I remember the Atrix! Man I had totally forgotten about that.
The bigger the system is, the noticeable the difference is. It's the same as displaying jpgs versus analog images on a large projector. The difference is much more noticeable with the audio! But yeah, this is a more of an analog versus digital debate, rather than comparing digital formats. However lossless is called lossless for a reason.
Yea, I don't get it. Office parking is supposedly bad, but when GOOG sends around buses to reduce congestion/parking issues, they are bad as well?
Yup those are fair points, making this a borderline call. I'm not sure the article adds much of value—it struck me as a slapdash effort to gin up controversy, especially at the end. That's most of what such publications do all day and our job as a community is to filter most of that out. But people can reasonably differ about any particular case.
I keep finding myself wanting to use slack more and more for customer calls. Generally the audio quality has been pretty great compared to Google Hangouts / Uberconference / Gotomeeting. Screensharing makes me want to use it more.

The only issue is that you can't just invite any random person to a call, they already have to be within your slack organization. I wonder if they'll end up pulling this out as a separate product.
This makes sense. But, for many (at least bootstrapping) startups, $1800/mo for the database is not in the realm of the possible. Is not having to deal with (future) sharding headaches "worth" that much? Sure. But that doesn't mean it's possible.

So by pricing us out of the entry level, you will forgo having startups build their platforms on it and get hooked (while it's still at 1-node mysql scale).

When the sharding headache hits and they're scrambling to scale, will they switch to Spanner? Maybe. Probably. They'll want to, anyway. But there is a big market that will be missed.
PACER Fees Class Action
I think I fall within that latter category. I have done tests myself, in an environment I feel relaxed in and comfortable, and have been able to hear the difference. I also hear the difference going a step above, with lossless.

There's a lot of prior art and stuff existing along those lines. Plan 9 allowed every process to have its own /proc filesystem separate from the global one, and could give out per-process references to hardware devices too. Illumos implemented the Linux kernel's interface so you can run binaries built for GNU/Linux inside a secure Zone. (MS implemented something similar so it's nice you can run bash natively in Win10 now, but there's no security in that...) Guix/NixOS have a package management system with atomic upgrades and rollbacks that should never lead to a borked system. Dependency management is crucial since you can isolate all you want -- build an OS where every application is its own docker image if you want -- but as soon as things want to talk to each other, if you don't account for API changes on that communication channel you will have a broken system.

But can any of it overcome worse-is-better? Are these things really that desirable for a personal computer or are they more suited to production servers? I've been using Gentoo as my main OS since 2007, on my current rig that I put together in 2009, and I wouldn't be that surprised if I'm still using it in 2027. Even knowing about other systems' advances I'm still using my own preferred set of compromises.
Our Biggest Blindspots
Very, very interesting, mainly because most of the time, the weight gain from carbonated drinks is said to be linked with the amount of sugar. This study, however, suggests that the mere fact that the beverage is carbonated has noticeable correlation with weight gain.

This is getting a bit philosophical for me, but here's my take:

Before starting Graphcool I was the tech person on various projects and low-tech startups. For each new project I would spin up a node server + db. After 2 years I saw myself managing 10 different installations, all with slightly different configurations, different approaches to api and authorisation etc.

Had Graphcool existed back then I would have had 10 separate projects that I could switch between in a beautiful ui, all fully managed and using the same api structure. Instead I find myself today partly responsible for the 4 remaining node installations that are the teams rely on, but don't have the expertise to manage in-house.

Yes! I had the same reaction when I finished up the Bridge Trilogy. It's the same overarching plot in almost all his novels. However, I don't think one reads Gibson for the quality of plot or language, but rather for technological concepts he conjures up.

Show HN: iAwake Pro – Work. Life. Balance. [Public Beta]
iAwake Pro uses neuroacoustic tech (audio tracks) to help folks concentrate and attain flow at work - as well as tracks to help you unwind and de-stress when you leave work. We’re going for balance - helping professional do great things at work and and have a great life outside of work.

And you’re welcome to join our public beta: www.iawakepro.com to test it out.

We think developers, writers, designers and others could really find iAwake Pro useful. Our neuroacoustic technologies can include all the beats, panning, harmonic layering, organic/musical entrainment effects, and even fractal entrainment.

Ah, enough pitchin' - you can learn more on the site. If interesting - go ahead and get access to all the tracks by signing up for the beta. We’d be really interested in what you think about the tech as professionals and what you think about the site viability as a MVP.

This. Maybe people have different hearing skills also. But I can definitely hear the artifacts in MP3s, like hihats getting muffled and the deep base getting lost in the sea of MP3 compression.

With good headphones (I'm talking 200+ euros class headphones for example) there is a certain difference between even a 320 kpbs MP3 vs a 128 AAC.

AAC or OGG for example just has better usualy clarity in the sound, the bass is clearer and more distinct and the hihats and other hi sounds aren't muffled in the background or don't lose their clarity like they do with MP3s.

And like the parent wrote, once you have heard those 'signature losses' of the mp3 codec, it's very hard not to notice them.
Nope. It's a Nokia 130 or something with no internet stuff, and the only people who know the number are close friends who only call when it's really necessary.

Thank you so much for your support and most important of all, your great work on GraphQL. Without your (and others') great ideas, Graphcool (and many other tools & services) wouldn't exist today.

It's not just software developers.

A significant percentage of the population are or lean towards being introverted i.e. social interactions do not make them necessarily happier or more productive.

And experts have been saying that being creative requires some periods of interaction and some periods of solitude. Seems like office spaces should reflect that.

Yeah, it was a real privilege for a kid and his single mom to be living well below the poverty line in a three-room shack that any half-awake inspector would've immediately condemned - not least for the black mold that ate up one whole wall of the third room so we had to seal it off with plastic - because it happened to sit on a hill next to a tiny patch of half-gone-to-seed apple trees that produced maybe as much as a half bushel in a season, the whole being owned by a former truck farmer whose income consisted in no inconsiderable part of the pitiful rent he got for the place, and who barely afforded the property taxes that left unpaid would've had the lot of us indigent.

I understand that the rhetoric of privilege isn't intended as personal attack, or at least that that's not its ostensible intent. I wish more people who favored it understood that, however intended, personal attack is the way it comes across, and that makes it unhelpful - indeed, actively harmful, if the purpose is to promote sympathy, among those not so predisposed, for those philosophies in whose service the rhetoric is invariably deployed.
