What was "new" about Soylent and subequent imitators is that it's marketed as a meal replacement product for "normal" people.

Earlier meal replacement products were either marketed for weight-loss purposes or medical purposes, mostly as supplements for people who, for various reasons, can't consume their full daily recommended intake of calories and nutrients. They were typically to be found in pharmacies and health-food stores.

Not sure what your purpose is in rallying against this, anyway. Soylent has been around for a while now. It's no longer a new product.

What an absolutely terrible "review".

Over half of it is filled with her millenial look-at-my-silly-millenial-face selfies or "hilarious" tumblr gifs.

Another quarter-"review" is dedicated to (almost literally) going LIKE OH MY GOSH THERE'S SO MUCH LEFT! I HAVE TO DRINK ALL OF IT LOOK AT ME LIKE OHMAGAWD I'M SO BRAVE FOR DOING THIS! EVERYONE!! LOOK AT ME!!!! also here's a shot of my incredibly-effeminate husband xDD btw I only drank 2 bottles in 4 days even though I bought 12 :( but I bet you want to know about my "Emotional state" now because consuming a food product is an incredible endeavor!!!!

By her own self-reporting, she clearly has no clue about living healthy since she reports going on meme diets and workout routines. So what exactly is it that makes her qualified to "review" this product?
Would you then say that all that energy from the millions of stars burning in our night sky is wasted?
Thanks man for justification. I'm curious about how currently it being captured.

Yesterday I was driving way home back and there were road blockages due to heavy rain and an accident. I just checked on map for traffic and it's nearly accurate to real traffic of vehicles. My commute routes does not consist of those type of devices/sensors per my understanding and observation. It's non metro city of India.
Related, there's an iOS app called Mealboard which lets you plan out recipes for the week/month/etc. We've started using it all the time, mostly because it has an amazing in-app browser that scrapes web recipes and stores them in the recipe list. Really impressive tool.

I have two thoughts about this submission. First, this is a funny and well written blog entry about someone trying Soylent. Second, Hacker News is not the right place for this.

This is humor and viewpoint. HN wants, or at least pretends to want, analysis and figures. Maybe if they stripped all the CSS from the site and made the blog look like it was made by a dysfunctional highschooler in the 90's it would get a bit more respect.
It probably depends on what you think is compliant or how absolutely universal things must be.

You're never going to get 100% of the population to be totally compliant. However if the number of non-compliant citizens are a minority or can be convinced to work entirely within the legal framework of the system they're railing against that certainly smacks of compliance or at least superficial non-compliance.

One should just look at voter participation, a majority of eligible voters don't. One could argue they're so apathetic that they'll just go along with whatever is foisted upon them by either political party, election after election, decade after decade.

Somehow the status quo is largely maintained day in and day out, despite how loud activists from any position are.

I'm not keen on Soylent either, but I think you're forgetting about the micro nutrients. Macro nutrients are rather easy to get on the cheap, but micro nutrients can be somewhat of a hassle.
I used to have a fairly immense CD collection. That was great and all in that I had full control of my music, in as far as I could rip it to MP3 and then load it onto my iPod (at the time) or lend it to a friend or whatever else.

Now I'm a massive Spotify user (and fan). It has given me the ability to listen to a huge range of music that a. I couldn't afford to buy and b. I couldn't afford to keep in physical format.

Most of my old CDs haven't been listened to or touched in a long time, partly because I can stream that music on my phone and but mostly because my tastes in music have changed, also that they're all now sat in my parent's loft gathering dust.

For the vast, vast majority of the music I listen to, I'll happily use Spotify and I don't have this great big anchor of a CD collection following me around. I can have most music I'd ever listen to always to hand almost whenever and wherever I am. And I don't have to deal with backing up MP3s on external storage.

I must say, I feel like I've got more control over my music than I ever did with a massive CD and MP3 collection following me around.
The point is if you buy a coffee and drink it at a little table in the coffee shop, and then leave, you may have spent 5 to 10 minutes there. But if you're going to set up your laptop and work 2 hours before purchasing another coffee, then you're taking over a space which could have served about 10 more customers in the same time span.

In addition to that, if you're there to work, chances are you're there by yourself. However other customers may come in groups, and that table can be used by the group. By taking over the table and having that group pass the shop for another place where they can drink/eat+talk, you're costing the shop a lot of customers.
Have a look at "Rebol - A Progammer's Guide" by Olivier Auverlot & Peter Wood, which an e-book version (PDF) is downloadable for free: http://www.lulu.com/gb/en/shop/olivier-auverlot-and-peter-wi...

In the book it covers creating a FTP dialect. Also there's a brief bit on creating a terminal cursor dialect.

NB. Book is for Rebol 2. There are improvements to parse in Rebol 3 & Red but the books dialects examples should still work as-is.
Agree. The central idea behind capitalism is a hard logical division between employment and ownership, so it's almost tautological to say that workplaces are small tyrannies- but it's good to see someone say it. I mean, I think the real issue with our democracy might be that we've never experienced it on a personal level, so we don't really understand how government by the people is even supposed to work. Our day to day experience is authoritarianism, so that's what we project on a national level.

In general I would suggest not putting too much emphasis on these sorts of lists, especially once you're an experienced programmer. Yes, over time new technologies become more useful, but there's a whole bunch of core skills that will last you far longer than web-framework of the week:

1. General problem solving skills. A lead developer needs a whole bunch of skills that aren't listed anywhere on that list.

2. More slowly changing technologies, and underlying principles. E.g. Python and Java will be around for a long time. RDBMS have been around for even longer, and will continue to be around.

3. Ability to learn new technologies quickly.

And if you do it right you can get job that claims to require certain technologies even if you don't have know them.

Some fluctuations I noticed when comparing the trends from last month and now:

- Go took a dip in demand, down from the 6th most mentioned language in listings to 8th.

When looking at trends from all 2017 reports:

- The top languages steadily in demand this year have been: Python, JavaScript, Java, Ruby, SQL, CSS, HTML, Go, C, and C++

- The top four application frameworks have fairly steadily been: Rails, Spring, Flask, and Django

- React is the top choice when it comes to UI libraries/frameworks. Angular doesn't seem to be gaining on it, and mentions of jQuery have been steadily declining.

- The top three databases/stores have steadily been PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Redis

An interesting tidbit from the Erlang world: We have CPU affinity controls (erl(1) options +sbt {db,tnnps}) which will spread schedulers (Erlang's name for a P) over a NUMA-like topology and keep track of the relative price of handoff/stealing between CPUs. Another option defines if you want load compaction and load balancing (+scl, +sub). Some workloads are more efficient if you can keep the work mostly on a few cores rather than spread the work over all available cores in the system because communication will be faster that way. If one core can process all work and get back to an idling state quickly, it usually beats spreading the load out due to caching.

For some workloads and hardware configurations, the gain from doing this is quite high because you can avoid schedulers jumping between cores and in the process destroying cache layers and TLBs.

OTOH, when running in a typical cloud environment, you are at the mercy of the underlying hypervisor and thus your load profile is different. In that case, affinity has little to no effect.

Show HN: Fast Andes – Product Recommendations from Reddit Comments
My experience with crowdfunding involves web-comic print runs, where the product already exists (published on the web), and the money is used to print the books, and produce stuff like posters or t-shirts.

Since none of these require a huge R&D effort, delivery is pretty much guaranteed (although any number of external factors might cause a delay).

So what's the difference to Amazon? Essentially, none of the products involved would be any profitable if produced on an individual basis, and independent creators can't really afford to print a hundred copies of their books in hopes of someone actually buying them. Using crowdfunding, they can gauge demand and then get a volume discount by printing a large number of books at once.

It all boils down to what you use crowdfunding for. I would never fund an effort to develop a new widget from scratch, but I might chip in to have a convincingly demonstrated prototype mass-manufactured when the alternative would be to not get it at all.

I was referring to the hypothetical of a innocent person buying a car from a drug dealer unknowingly, then at some point in the future the police trace the VIN and seize the car because it had been owned by the drug dealer in the past, then selling that car and giving the money to the victims of said drug dealer that also apparently killed someone.

That is the situation the comment I was replying to that was concocted to support Civil Asset Forfeiture

Further the article is talking about all Federal Seizures not just Civil Asset Forfeiture, the comments I was replying to isolated that to Civil Asset Forfeiture

JPMorgan Chase money on behalf of the Madoff criminal prosecution was not a Civil Asset forfeiture

Edit:

To add, I have no problem with, and most organizations have no problem with CRIMINAL asset forfeiture, which is where the government charges a person with a crime, convicts them then seizes assets that person owns to pay restitution to victims of crimes.

Civil Asset Forfeiture is not that, and where most people object calling it basically theft. The government do not charge anyone with a crime, you are not afforded any due process or rights, and you must prove your property innocent in order to get it back

Civil Asset Forfeiture is an end run around the constitution, and basic human rights. it needs to be abolished

I can think of a couple of angles into rationalizing this sort of thing, but then again, they say that even simply giving in to the motivation to rationalize something in any way might be a bit selfish, and (maybe) part of a personality disorder.

Incorrect. NYA begins locking in Segwit as early as July 21st. The point is to get Segwit locked in before August 1st so the UASF has no chance of creating a second chain that has any chance at life. You are correct that the 2x portion will require a hardfork that will presumably come down the road.

Hey all,

This is a project I've been working on for a few weeks now, and want HN to be the first to try it out. It's a search engine that shows you products highly scored by reddit comments and submissions.

I had the idea by realizing that often when I'm looking to buy a product, I search through reddit to find what is most upvoted and take that into consideration. Now I built a site to do just that.

This is the first public launch of it, and there is still much work to be done. Currently, a historical build of comments is still running (about 250k done out of 500k+) so search performance may be degraded. Also, the mobile site is atrocious, so best experience is currently on desktop.

Looking forward to feedback and constructive criticisms!
No, I understand that running such range would be impossible. What amazes me is how you can (sometimes) simplify things, and the "power" that being able do to zillions of calculations can have when you have already simplified your problem to some general proof. :) Well, that's what I meant.

I would have thought that even a socialist like yourself could have at least admitted that these NGOs are a problem as they are being funded to fix problems but are being run by people whose aim it is to receive funding for as long as possible. You could call this corruption, but I don't know if you've heard of it.

It really shows the state of things, doesn't it? We've gotten to the point where the left side of the political spectrum has transformed themselves from being failed communists to being eternal minority protectors. You will never admit any problem that shows a minority in a light that's worse than the native population. And you will never admit that white people do not want to be replaced by non-white foreigners.

You doom Europe to a decade or more of fascism, dictatorships, and massive deportations. As the problems get worse, the solutions become more extreme.

Good to see I'm not the only one that has trouble transitioning from playing with Rebol to actually using it in non-trivial programs. Sure they have a form of OO, but I'm not sure if it is really idiomatic to use it a bunch or if coding should be more like C. I'm prepared for Red zealotry though if they can provide the experience that they're aiming for along with good doc.
While I agree with you, just look at jobs ads. They match the list a lot more than your description of a problem solver.

Hashing power is what mines the blocks. There will be no "voting the issue out" if the dominant chain is using Segwit. Just because you buy a few BTC on GDAX or something doesn't somehow give you more say than the miners over what software gets run on their own machines. Vast amounts of hashing power is concentrated in the mining pools that are signaling support for this and 99% of the people speculating on these currencies don't care about the underlying protocol, they just want to make money.
I'm surprised to see no mention of SQL Server as a required skill. Surely, there must be at least one job posting that requires knowledge of some sort of an MS/.net stack?

From a related video: the reaction wheels spin up while keeping total angular momentum at zero, then apply a rapid (magnetic) brake to transfer the momentum to the body (from the wheels). I'm assuming if you do that precisely enough (and in three dimensions), you can generate linear movement.

> why don't we see them in the independent evolution of life

Because evolution is a very weak optimisation process. It has very limited materials to work with - everything has to be made of meat. The only changes it can make are incredibly indirect ones - mutations in DNA base pairs, leading to different proteins being manufactured or some such (I'm not a biologist, obviously) leading to subtle changes in the makeup of the resulting organism. Can you imagine how difficult engineering would be through a medium like that? It'd be like trying to perform brain surgery with a sledgehammer. And it's not even purposefully optimising for anything, let alone intelligence. The changes all happen completely at random, and the ones that manage to reproduce stick around.

Moreover, the fact that such a weak process as natural selection can produce something as smart as us, should really make you consider that humans, with optimisation power far superior to natural selection, can produce something far smarter.
