I say while drinking my chocolate soylent.

I haven't had any ill effects since v2.
I had / am having a different experience. I wish the author did a bit more research and had laid out some more facts; a guy in the comments says it pretty much perfectly:

> Of all the articles that have talked about soylent, both positively and negatively, this is one of the least informative. Because, guess what? You didn't actually give soylent a try. You just saw an opportunity to make fun of a product that you don't agree with. Anyone who actually wants to learn something about soylent would gain nothing from reading this.

To share my experience: It's been quite the opposite. She complains about the bowel movements, but honestly after I started drinking Soylent exclusively my bowel movements are more healthy and are at a more healthy pace.

I don't think I'm too lazy to heat up a corn dog or some ramen noodles, but I do have issues eating healthy, and those quick meals don't have a whole lot of nutritional value. Soylent solves this problem for me.

Given the background of founders, some might have thought that they only seek an interest-free loan.

From the time of original kickstarter campaign, the interest from the sum would've been more than enought to sustain the company given crazy interest rates in Chinese black banks
Soylent takes its name from a 1960s sci-fi thriller starring Charlton Heston (the website maintains they actually got the idea from the book on which the film is based. Sure, guys. Sure.) In the movie, there’s a massive food shortage, and Soylent is the food replacement that everyone eats

And the story behind Soylent™ is basically just s/food shortage/time shortage/, no?

Or what else is the point?
I have backed and received a few Jide products and love them. The ones I have received will continue to work and benefit my family. It is a shame they are moving away from the consumer space but I wish them luck.

Replacing a normal diet with a soy based liquid diet isn't going to go so well.

Soy mimics estrogen and long term overconsumption can contribute to endocrine issues that are hard to diagnose and poorly understood.
> That's a pretty good deal for the founders!

Yes, that's how kickstarter works. As an "investor" you just get screwed.

There is no risk, you already know that your money is gone. It's not special for this case. Or what do you mean?

Joylent/JimmyJoy shakes cost 1.83€ per shake.
They provide 45g of protein per shake, 33% of daily vitamins and minerals, and 700kcal.
They take about 2 minutes to make, and another 2-3 to consume.

I challenge you to find the same benefits any other way.

Actually, the base 2.0 (bottled) Soylent doesn't contain caffeine and is intended to replace any meal of the day. What you are referring to is Coffiest, which is only one variety.
It has 3 motors for 3-axis reaction wheel set (for rotation), and 12 fans to move around.

Does anyone know any more detail about their plan to drill down to him - and is similar rescues have been preformed this way? I'd be interested if the air he was breathing was 'trapped' and if drilling down would release it, and drown him, or if the air had a slow route in and out of the pocket he was in. Fascinating stuff.
No, it's crowdfunding itself that is absurd: You are literally pre-paying full price for a small chance that a product will actually be shipped to you.

Imagine Amazon, but instead of next-day delivery you get next-year delivery and there's a 90% chance your product won't be delivered at all: That's what crowdfunding is.

Traditionally, when funding a product, investors got a portion of the earnings to offset their risk. Crowdfunding has managed to eschew that in favor of just getting you to give people money just in case they can come up with a product. If the bet works out, great, you get a product, but so do I, and I didn't give the creators any money in advance. If it fails, you're out your money.
That's funny! I'm not seeing any pizza recipes now. It shows the latest shared recipes that have images. There are trends, though.

Right. To navigate the site you can use browser extensions like Vimium.

There is even an extension for using Vim bindings in HTML text areas but this one doesn't work on mobile and also on desktop it's a bit clumsy.

I would just exchange the current HN text area with some HTML editor with Vim bindings such as Codemirror.

For Kickstarter to continue to function, most projects need to deliver what the backer originally wanted - this, in a way, represents an ROI since (presumably) the product of the campaign was worth more to the backer than the amount they spent.

There are of course a whole tier of backers that get stickers or just thanks for backing projects at lower tiers - these backers are altruists who believe that the project is worthwhile without expecting compensation.

That's really strange; says far more about the author that they don't believe someone could possibly have read a book before seeing (or not have seen) a derivative film.
The assumption you make is that the product would necessarily exist otherwise without the crowdfunding, which isn't accurate in my experience. The bet is sometimes between some product and no product.
Did not use Joylent for a while, didn't realize they renamed. I think I should give it a try again. First experiences where good, but it interfered with my diet plans later. Actually Joylent tasted really good.
>Take money from 'community', develop using that and get famous, get enterprise funding, stop community project and return the 'community money'. Good idea.

Except they took the "develop" stage out of the equation, and most likely never planned to make a functioning product except for shipping prototype grade minis.

See, what they did is not much different than other Android "OS" spinoffs: take white box product, and put android with custom skin on it. All of that costs $200k at maximum in China, not $2m.

What made them different thought is that they pumped so much into keep hype going. And that tactic paid them off. Corporate M&A people in the People Republic of China are known to be easily impressionable, if not worse.

I wonder if all these politically correct apparatchiks realise that they're creating the roots of their own downfall by attempting to control as much of public life as possible. When the political winds change - which they always do - those in opposition to the current wave of post-modernism will find everything ready to banish them and their ideology to the darkest corners of oblivion. Any complaints from their side will easily be taken care of as they did exactly the same to their opponents.

Also, anyone in favour of these gender-related shenanigans should do a bit more study on the subject. Not a

What level of tuition should tourist divers be getting? I've only been diving a few times, and we were given (what felt like) a reasonable amount of safety briefings before even travelling to the dive site. IIRC the deepest we went was 12-13m (third dive with the same crew; first two were sub-10m), and I was under the impression (thought I'm __far__ from being an expert!) that it was difficult to cause any major problems at those depths unless you do it all the way the wrong way (i.e. fast/direct ascent to surface).
You mention code-signing above, but are you certain it's being done with a root certificate that the AVs trust?

We are trying to launch a similar product here in my country. The negative publicity that Soylent has generated for itself, hasn't helped our nerves one bit as we come closer to the launch.

Unlike US, Bars and drinks are not in fashion here. We have decided to launch in form of Lollipops. Our team is having a hard time coming up with a motto, but we'll get over it.

Any advice from the wise HN folks on how to handle the first batches of users ( we'll be giving out the first few hundred lollipops for free on condition that users click a selfie with the lollipop every day and tag us on FB/Twitter ), in case things go wrong!!

My phone broke (only the screen) back last year and I used Remix OS as a substitute. I have to say I loved it! I could load the apps I wanted to use all from my desktop, including things that are limited by design to mobile/tablet.

But we don't really care about the cat-masquerading-as-desktop category in itself, so an adversarial example that makes a cat look like a cat-masquerading-as-desktop, or masquerades a cat-masquerading-as-desktop as a cat, isn't really relevant.

By adding enough adversarial examples to the training set, you can absolutely immunize a model against adversarial perturbations of the training data.

The problem is that the volume of "not very different" data points surrounding an example grows exponentially with the input dimension, so you need to train for much longer, and your "adversarial protection" will likely overfit to the neighborhood of training examples, which doesn't help with unseen data.

this kind of thinking is just another iteration of self-serving anti-intellectualism (akin to climate change denial and anti-vaxxing). there is absolutely hard exercise science you can read in order to exercise more effectively than "stretching" (an activity whose value has never been empirically proven) and "body-weight" exercises (slightly more effective than nothing but pales in comparison to real weight training and cardio). protein supplementing does work[1], creatine does work[2], caffeine+ephedrine does work[3] (though you can't buy that anymore). the hard science is in exactly the same place it always is: research journals. for starters I always recommended exrx.net.

I don't know why someone downvoted you for this because it was news just the other day that Sessions said this. While I think Sessions is perhaps competent as AG, I don't know why he has such zeal for asset forfeiture. Why can't we have people in these positions who are consistent? We ostensibly have an Administration that wants to support the Constitution and rule of law, and then they go supporting policies and laws that are completely out of line with our Bill of Rights. I don't get it except statism is a brain disorder.

I still say the Obama Administration was even worse--Lynch used her office as a political weapon. Holder should have been prosecuted for Fast & Furious.

It's a mess. I am no criminal, but I avoid cops at all costs just so I don't 'accidentally' get shot.

Also, we need to stop allowing police to have qualified immunity. Their role in US society has been elevated above regular citizens even though they are regular citizens. Their training is "shoot until slide lock" and to always meet force with equivalent and higher force. I live near Minneapolis and I can tell you that after Castile, I thought things would get better, but no, cops are shooting dogs, people, everything! The Burnsville police killed a guy who was whacked out on drugs--the guy had a knife, but he wasn't hurting anyone and when he tried to run away after a botched attempt at getting him out of his car, they shot him in the back for 'reasons.' Their egregious and troubling behavior was later deemed as 'following procedure.'

I think we can see that not reigning in this bad behavior is going to lead to us having to deal with death squads who act under the color of law, such as they have in the Philippines and Nicaragua, and basically every third world country.
Chicken breast, some bread and some fruits? Yeah it takes more to cook, but why would you stress over eating? I actually like to enjoy my food in peace with enough time.
Just about to decide between Mongo and Rethink. I know HN is not on good terms with Mongo but I'd like to have insights on...

- Setup of a replica set: is it easier/faster than with Mongo (which I find complicated)?

- Sharding: Easier than with Mongo?

- Rethink's query language: Is it really better than Mongo's after you used it for some time?

Happy to hear more insights if you know more noteworthy stuff and please no bashing of any of them. Just try to make an educated decision.

Hmm, well, I think the problem is right there in the first part of the article. If you have a diet where you wake up and eat cookie dough and pie, you are most likely not making choices that put enough dietary fiber into your diet.

Those who don't eat enough fiber, then suddenly start consuming a healthy amount usually experience the kind of gastrointestinal distress she experienced. That's pretty much what fiber is SUPPOSED to do. The bacteria in your gut all of the sudden have a smorgasbord of stuff to break down and it releases a ton of gas as part of the process.

Not judging her, she can have all the cookie dough and pie she wants. But don't blame the food you are eating when something with a little fiber blows up your digestive track.

Ask HN: Weird legal situation involing me and SSA
Hello HN,

I am having a weird situation and could use some ideas on how to get past it.
It started in December of last year, my dad passed and had a funeral and all the usual stuff. Some time in March, the SSA received his death certificate and somehow found my information associated with him and marked me as deceased. I found out in late March when my employer did an audit with the SSA and it came back that i had passed. I went to my local SSA office the last week of March and they fixed it and gave me a letter to send to places to clear it up. I sent the letter to the companies i thought mattered, life insurance, bank, credit reporting companies, retirement, those kinds of places. Because of this, i ended up losing my ID to access my work systems for roughly 2 weeks, and had to fax paperwork to a number of DoD organizations to get that reversed. Some time in early July, it reared its head again. I lost my clearance at work, the system now shows me as deceased, my credit cards are getting terminated due to me being deceased, and i could lost my job because i can't perform my normal required functions. This also affected the DMV and my passport which restricts my ability to travel for work.

I also learned that my personal information (full name, address, SSN, DOB) was put into the Master Death File by the SSA when they made the initial mistake.

My question to you is what options do I have here? I have been told the US Government is protected from lawsuits involving negligence and i feel like it started at the SSA office. I have talked to quite a few lawyers and they all say that they don't handle these types of cases and that the lawyers that do are way out of my price range.

I am having trouble finding out what my options are other than just letting it go and dealing with the out-of-pocket losses. It has been a few months and it seems like it is just getting worse.

Thank you for anything you can offer.

It's interesting to know that a traditional ISP like AT&T is heading the same way.

I think Google gets more freedom to try out some of these techniques because people still fundamentally think of them as a website (apart from Google Fiber, they don't serve end-users directly); whereas AT&T, being an ISP, is treated more like a water / power service, in that people expect them to be working by default, and going down is absolutely unacceptable.

> You are literally pre-paying full price for a small chance that a product will actually be shipped to you.

Anecdotal, of course, but "small chance" for me is that I have received 28 out of 29 projects I've helped fund in roughly the time-frame outlined. Only one project did I simply waste money on (the Lunecase for iPhone). For me, that's a 96.6% success rate of crowdfunded items I've backed.

The reason I crowdfund is for the product, sure, but also for the extras that the main product won't have upon release. It's not so much bragging rights, I couldn't care less about that. It's because I feel like I'm getting more for my money, well, because I am.

Maybe I'm just lucky.
Have you tried VS Code? It's pretty great with Python.
My understanding of Dutch culinary customs is that they eat mostly food that is "kant en klaar", either precooked or neatly organized to be quickly prepared (fixed portions). Even meat tends to come with a bag of spices and a manual.

Edit: I'm not saying it's a bad thing, just seemed to me like this reduces time spent in the kitchen quite well (part of the idea behind Soylent/Joylent and w/e). The Dutch don't cook more than they need, also (with the implication that if you happen to arrive at dinner time, don't expect an invitation). :P
