Only if you think weight control is the only reason to go to a gym, or that cardio is the only component of being physically fit.

Working out your muscles regularly is very important, and if you have the image of a gigantic roided bodybuilder in mind, lose that preconceived notion. Working out is both healthy and fun, and becoming "too big" takes years and years of very hard work.
Studies like these are way too simplistic to conclude anything regarding obesity, in my opinion.

An increase in ghrelin levels was measured, but what about all other other hormone levels that were possibly affected as well? The body is a complex system of thousands of equilibria; if an increase in e.g. testosterone levels (which makes the body burn off fat) was also an effect, this may well offset the effect of increased food consumption -- or even overpower it, causing a weight decline as opposed to a gain.

I think Amazon pulls this off because their prima donna is the paying customer, not the programmer who thinks talking directly to customers is the worst possible reflection of their ability to automate. Automation is great and all, but Google has a major problem when it comes to empathizing with the customers.

Also, is there any possibility of legal action against Google for this bait and switch, which seems to be quite clearly the case here?
Alrighty. Celibacy for the nation? Greatly better sex eduction? Greater access to birth control? Free sterilization for those who desire it? What about the times these things fail? And so on.

Most folks aren't cut out for celibacy, honestly. And every other option costs money. Besides, we actually need some folks to have kids, so we still have to deal with this sort of issue.

Has anyone asked WHY robots NEED to have humanoid bodies?

I can see the case for familiarity, especially for robotic pets and attendants for children, but the human body and its limbs are the result of millions of years of evolution, in conditions that don't exist or apply anymore.

It had to adapt to being born naked and having to grow up, possibly on its own, and feeding itself and fending for itself...

I mean, consider wheels vs. legs. You don't see the former anywhere in nature, but it's the most efficient mode of locomotion in human society.

Why aren't we exploring more efficient robotic bodies that would also be easier to program?

Say, a rotating trunk-like body with multiple octopus-like tentacles with suckers instead of fingers. Just an idea. Or a robot that is actually a swarm of ant-like machines.

I'm a native speaker, and no, the text shown on that picture does not ask you to take a photo of the credit card. The text reads: "If you own a Mastercard or Maestro, take a photo of the stuff you have in your purse".

The problem here seems to be that people don't read what's written, but instead do what they think was written (Edit: apparently because it was shown in the example picture).

I also read the official rules linked there. The rules state that only the winners need to prove they own the card by contacting MasterCard directly with a slip from any transaction made with that card. So, even if you win, you don't have to show the card, only to prove you have used it.

The situation you describe seems to involve inequality, but it's significantly different than what "Lola" is described to have endured. The decision to move to the U.S. was entirely the author's family's. Lola was promised that she would get paid enough to move back, but the family never kept that promise. When she begged for them to allow her to visit her dying parents, they refused. And then her 5-year visa ran out, and because the family did not deal with that lapse, Lola was now forced to live in slavery forever because trying to send her back would jeopardize the entire family's immigration status. Stupid Lola!

The author is a great writer, and obviously a distinguished journalist. If this article had been written by the real-life version of "Silicon Valley's" Peter Gregory (including the untimely death), I have a feeling sentiment toward the piece would be much different.

I think we don't have enough information to decide either way. The guy who visited his friend's house seems to think everything wasn't above-board there. Maybe he's wrong, but the responsible thing to do is follow up on it with the friend, promptly. It doesn't need to be an accusation, just an "I noticed something odd; can you tell me what's going on?" type thing. And if the explanation isn't satisfying, you get the authorities involved, immediately.

Regardless, just because something is culturally acceptable (like Lola's slavery back in the Philippines), it doesn't make it right.
I don't think they've called it a rebrand. "Renewing their branding" seems like a longer way of saying it but certainly sounds less extreme.

Well, as you point out, the probability of not hitting a valid CVV this way is non-zero, or 0.672% - if using R:

choose(5000,0)*0.999^(5000-0)*0.001^0

But that means, by brute forcing, while you should crack at least one card, there is still a non-zero chance that this will be your unlucky day... (Cracking all cards with this methods, is - essentially - a zero-chance game, but even for that an infinitesimally small chance is left, that my computer cannot reproduce.)

Generously assuming that it averages 150mph, and very generously assuming 1.5 people per car and estimating from the video a gap between sleds of 40m gives a capacity of around 9,000 pax/hr per line. The Tube in London has trains with around 900 pax capacity, and they run at around 90 second intervals at peak time, giving 40 trains per hour and 36,000 pax/hr.

> Why would any site use the same URIs for API endpoints and frontend/view navigation places?

Simplicity. Ruby on Rails facilitates that approach, for example.

> And in that case should the Content-Type (or Accepts) be the main factor?

Content-Type, yup! Unfortunately Chrome and IE 10 (not sure about Edge) disagree on that.

Without the Vary header, the back button leads to rendering what the server last returned, without taking the Content-Type into account - which is completely nonsensical in my opinion.

Chromium bug:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=94369

This has been going on since at least 2011 so it seems nobody cares.

I honestly do not understand why that Vary header is necessary.

Firefox doesn't seem to need it to render pages from its cache correctly.
Yes, be we can do different solutions.

I'd also like to point out that the statement would not only include mothers, but children and slaves of different sorts. The current equivalent is likely things like community service, prison labor, homeless working in stores to stay in shelters, and charities - at least in the US.
I sympathize with the idea that we don't know what's going on, even based on that guy's post, so it might be a bit premature to point fingers and declare that, without question, this is an instance of slavery. Because really, that's the case. We don't know enough. And maybe the guy who visited his friend doesn't know enough to call it either.

However, the thing that gets me is that this guy had a moral responsibility to find out more, promptly, and he hasn't done it. I'm glad that some of his follow-up posts suggest that he's going to do so soon, but it's waaaaaaay overdue, and that's pretty messed up.

I wonder if having the name and perhaps CVC on the front, and the card number on the back (and not in the way that they're currently produced, which leaves a mirror-image depression of the digits on the other side), would at least somewhat solve this problem of people wanting to show off their cards yet keep the critical information hidden.
this doesn't, but that doesn't mean other's wont dominate reddit in the future...

An automatic GraphQL API generator for Postgres is a potentially awesome tool, in the same way that PostgREST is awesome. But the parent's point is exactly this: "awesome tool" (PostgREST) is awesome, "awesome tool as a service" (Graphcool, Postgraph) is dangerous.

> I don't think you know as much about the history of women as you think you do.

Well, I know enough to know that 'women only left the house twice in their life' is an outlier, not a yardstick. You can just as easily point out nomadic herder groups where there is almost zero gender power imbalance, with the women and men sharing equal power, and it's just as wrong to suggest that that is somehow historically representative as 'normal'.

I'd call a woman that was kept to a house and never allowed out to be a slave anyway. Well, perhaps a 'prisoner' if not forced to do work.

> The role of a wife and mom is often not as different from Lola's as you seem to assume.

My point was that Lola was a slave not because of the kind of labour she did, but because she was forced into that labour and not allowed freedom of movement. The list of things I wrote wasn't meant to be a canonical description of what defines a slave, but parts of her life that defined it for her. Unlike wives (who by definition at least have a husband), Lola had no-one and no permission to even try. She didn't even have a bed to sleep in when the others did. But in history, some slaves were encouraged to have families, homes, beds. Some slaves historically did get some pay, and likewise direct money. The article even describes slaves that owned their own slaves.

The mistake the GP made was confusing role with circumstance. Just because Lola's role was mothering, doesn't mean that mothering is slavery.

The heartache in Lola's story is not the bit about her caregiving.

You ask what the fundamental difference between Lola and last-century wife? Hiding her from public view and not letting her out of the house seems like a pretty big one. Refusing to let her visit sick and dying parents seems to be another. Expecting her to sleep on the couch or the laundry looks like another. Not letting her have friends outside the family seems to be yet another. There's tons of differences if you look beyond the kind of work she spent her life doing.
Sure, and that sucks. But we're talking about someone wealthy who has a lot of space. Making your live-in housekeeper sleep on a mat when you have plenty of space to spare as at best being a horrifying asshole, and if this guy is truly a "friend", I would hope he'd find out what's going on.
If I had to read the grandparent's comment charitably, there is a formal distinction in that Lola's relationship to the family was not legally institutionalised. If they tried to stop her from leaving the house by force, they would be committing a crime.

Whether it amounted to de facto slavery is a different question, as I pointed out in another comment on this article.

The Weird Thing About Today's Internet
Once upon a time I hated exceptions, but today I like them more and more for each day. The hate was something I inherited from the early languages I worked with where exceptions where uncommon and was considered de facto wrong, it was the C approach of error handling.

What I learned working on a medium-sized web project is that you have too few exception types. Yes, create more unique exceptions for each situation and avoid reusing them across the project.

Too general exceptions make your code base suck hard. Complexity of exceptions with small benefit because you can't discriminate between them. ObjectNotFoundException is pretty useless but AccountNotFoundException is much better. Don't be afraid of types, use it to your advantage.

Optimize the happy path and fail fast on the sad path.

Note, have not tried this approach on a C++ project yet, maybe it will not work as well there.
This is not democracy. Not one country in the world implement democracy. Some just enjoy a lot of freedom, and so they called themself democracy since it makes them feel good. But I've yet to see a country where the people use their power. Because that's what democracy is supposedly about : not just people having power, but taking the _responsibility_ to use power, over and over on the long run, to keep shaping their society.

Right now we delegate it at best to a group of people that are already filtered by money or status, which is oligarchy. Not that I don't enjoy my life in the oligarchy, but it's not democracy.
Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out. I've had that game for >20 years now so it's nice to learn a little bit more about it. Cool that they were doing something similar 24 years ago.
At least for Buses this is highly regulated in the US. I would assume the same is true for everything else.
