>Someone told me recently that there's a link between red dye and these illnesses. I wouldn't be surprised.

I'd be absolutely shocked, and wonder how something so common is causing such selective effects and only in the elderly. As for reduction of short term memory, I'd start considering other mechanisms that don't involve food coloring if I were you.
You missed his point. He is pointing out that Comcast (and other ISPs) already has substantial power over end-users, since in most cases they are the only ones that can provide internet connectivity.

However, one can easily choose to never use Facebook and not lose quintillionth of the information available on the internet. Facebook or any other such service is one of a quintillion of end-nodes that you can reach on the internet.

Comcast is the choke through which your internet connectivity comes through, and you are proposing to allow increased manipulative power to them.

> she spent 15 minutes submerged in a swimming pool

This seems highly implausible, given she survived. Also, how would they know the moment she dropped in?

Further down:

> up to 15 minutes

Ah ok. From what I know, brain damage starts occurring even after 2-3 minutes without air (for adults), so I suppose it was rather on the lower end. Does anybody know a bit more about this?

sugarcoating learning disabilities / other life-ruining disabilities is a trick that people use when they can't confront the excessively negative reality: most geniuses with LD die in obscurity after being outrageously frustrated with life. once in a great while, we learn about them long after they're dead and appreciate their works. but usually not.

My question was about likelihood. If I present you with exactly two coins, visually indistinguishable, but you know that one is very heavily weighted and one is unweighted coin. Then by repeatedly flipping them, you could reach incredible confidence (99.9999%) within a few minutes regarding which is which.

Rather than a "proof" you should think about the payoff if you then had to bet about which was which and then it was revealed.

If one landed heads 105 times and tails 3 times in your quick test, there is a conceivable universe in which that was the fair coin. But you would not accept 200:1 payoff to bet that that is the fair coin. You are much more confident than 200:1 that it is the weighted coin.
I think you were made to be a solopreneur.
From a practical standpoint you are correct; however, it is very difficult to have a zero carb diet, so I don't think this theory has been 100% tested. At least, this is the impression I got reading this opinion paper. (http://ajcn.nutrition.org/content/75/5/951.2.long) I think even most ketogenic specific diets aim for around 5% carbs.

Some other aspects of carbs seem to be not fully investigated, such as the effect of dietary fiber's role in nutrition. While not "essential" (http://jandonline.org/article/S2212-2672(15)01743-8/abstract) it seems to play a mostly positive role. (If only to prevent constipation...)

At this time, I'd think "fad" of any ketogenic diet advocate that has little vegetable consumption. But as the first link states, "most of the current low-carbohydrate, weight-reducing diets advocate the consumption of low-carbohydrate vegetables". "Eat more veggies" has been a mantra of dietary advice for a while. :)
I think you have to keep charity in mind on that compliment. It was meant as high praise for the medical achievement of curing someone. Not as reductionism to shining a light and magically curing something. More, that was pretty clear just in the comment.

To that end, I'm curious how Star Trek is a useful iconic yardstick? My assertion would be that it is not. It is a common one. But there is nothing useful in it. Precisely because you have to cherry pick what parts you use and how you interpret them. For example, you interpreted it to refer to the method of curing. The comment was taking it for the level of the sickness that was cured. Both are valid places to look.

funny thing is that they don't even try hard.

they keep changing plans. their market just shout their brand and some price they dont even offer anymore. and they always try to move me to a cheaper plan even though I want to stay on the much more expensive one just because I dont want to think about roaming when I travel.

Random question: Are most people's complaints because of cheap BT devices? Additionally, is it a factor if they are trying to use the BT accessories with multiple devices frequently?

I've often wondered about people's big complaints with Bluetooth in regards to headphones/speakers, because I don't seem to share them, except with our '14 Ford Explorer. That whole system gets wonky.

As I think about it though, my usage is pretty simple: Earbuds for commuting, different buds for the gym, A/V at home. My receiver at home is an upper level brand, my headphones I use every day aren't horrifically expensive, but they're not cheap either. They're only ever used with MY phone, so I don't have to keep re-pairing them. When I'm on my bike and the phone is in my bag, never have issues. On the motorcycle I get the very occasionally stutter when it's in the saddlebag. Like once a month.

I've used really cheap bluetooth audio devices before that had horrific range. I just don't buy them anymore. I even had a set of LG neck band style headphones that were supposed to be a 'better' model than the ones I still use and those were bad from the get go. I returned them on day two, four years in my lower model ones are still working flawlessly.

Now, if I was using my headphones with my laptop and my phone and had to re-pair frequently, I'd be a bit more put off, but OS X and iOS have done it okay for me. I gave up with Bluetooth audio on my Linux laptop though.

Now that I think about it, maybe it's because I've literally given up trying to do anything other than get my devices working and then leaving them alone...

Why we have such a product?

Dongxi means thing(s) in Chinese.

Everyday we are surrounded and eroded by numerous information, passively accepting a variety of sources of information. We cannot deny those sources, or deny those information. Information should be valuable, should have specific value for people with distinct background. Then should we have that RIGHT to make the decision that what is valuable or what its value is for what we see and what we hear? At least I hope so. That’s why I make Dongxi.

What can you do with Dongxi?

First of all, sharing. You can publish articles to share your points. You can just send a few words to share your life. And you can also publish photos. But we limit it to one picture per time. Since we believe that valuable Dongxi (things) should be picked by heart.

Second, tagging. We play with tags here, and basically only tags. You will find out that we have no comments, no heat, no specific voting, and no simple tags you see from elsewhere. Because interactions here are tagging. Dongxi’s tagging is combined with commenting, heat, voting and tagging. Just a few words or simply a tap, you can share your ideas and point of view with other people. You like something, tap it, tag it. You don’t like something, also tap it, tag it. You agree with someone, tap it, tag it. You disagree with someone, also just tap it, tag it. Plain and simple.

Finally, searching. 20 years ago, when search engine came out, there were a few hundreds or thousands of people using Internet. So people needed search engine to index. Desktop operating system enabled people to generate information, and search engine helps people to index the endless information. Now, we need a product to tag everything with its own value. We need crawlers to get information, we need more that people behind computers and phones to share and tag those websites, links and things that are useful. We have billions of people using Internet, they are sharing intelligence to provide value to the connected world.

What does Dongxi want to do?

Dongxi hopes to tag everything on the Internet, helps people to find what exactly what they want. Providing a value platform to people to use, to share, to tag, to search, to acquire information, to exchange point of view.

Dongxi’s adventure begins here. Hope every one of you can join us and grow with us, sharing the value behind Dongxi.
> Incredibly, some people (mostly business/marketing, not engineering!) still make themselves work through lunch and stay later. No idea why, but I and others are able to leave after 8 hours so it doesn't affect me.

Because the deal for us engineers is that there's not enough of talent and companies fight for people. We're doing the same you described in your post, except the business/marketing have short lunches and work late. There's many people waiting to take their place, where you must spend great effort to hire a good engineer.

Someone re-enacting a scene for entertainment purposes is one thing. The police should absolutely not be "recreating" events and passing them off as the actual occurrence. This is one step away from using reenactments on Unsolved Mysteries as actual evidence for the crime. Whatever bits the cop wanted to add in or leave out, if it became acceptable for them to recreate evidence in this way, how would we ever be able to manage that?

Seems like most people agree that this behavior is bogus, and that cops shouldn't be fabricating or recreating evidence. And even if some do-gooder was doing so innocently, they probably shouldn't forget to mention that that video was a recreation, not actual evidence. That's an oops that cop and his dept will have to address while they're making excuses for it.
See Rosemary Kennedy's brain lobotomy (she was the sister of President John F. Kennedy). She was awake and speaking during her brain operation, so doctor could know if he was messing with any important area. "When she began to become incoherent, they stopped."
But of course it was too late. She became mentally impaired for the rest of her life. She was lobotomized because her father though it would improve her teenager behavior problems.
The brain itself doesn't have Nociceptors (pain sensory neurons), so there is no pain below the skin and meninges area.
Aha. thank you. It would seem the magic is:

In this kind of setup, I'm wondering how you handle events that happen outside of the component?

Let's say you have a background function, created with setTimeInterval, which after some time update an item. With Redux, you could dispatch an action UPDATE_ITEM, which would modify the items, and in turn update the connected component.

However, without Redux how is your component going to know about this item update and update the list? Do you use some kind of event listener/dispatcher?
Do CS grads even get taught C any more? I get the feeling that the newest generation is all Java/Python/JS.

Given that cheap embedded systems are so powerful now it makes sense.
Yep, that's the one.

By the way, this "local-changes-only" approach crops up in many other places too. In CS and nature, because it's just so damn energy-efficient.

For example, check out this (recent, July 2017) paper:

Gomez, Ren, Urtasun & Grosse: "The Reversible Residual Network: Backpropagation Without Storing Activations", https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.04585.

You can't help but think of the ancient programmer's trick for swapping two variables without a temp storage...

a = a + b;
b = a - b;
a = a - b;
>It took a lot of self-discovery to see myself not as an entrepreneur, but as an artist, and it's frustrating, because it sure took me a while to admit it

i'm in the midst of this realization as well, not exactly as an artist though. it's shitty-- artists/etc don't get paid.
I've been watching this closely, and the price seems to be driven by the Segwit2x signaling rate. We're close to the %80 activation and when it looked like we weren't going to make it we saw a decline, and when hash power switched signaling and the price recovered.

The reason the hash power signaling is not so stable right now has a technical reason-- Bip-91 is rushed, the Segwit2x proposal was rather late in the game and this is a system which, by design and prudence, should not be changing with quick untested commits.
I have never heard that here in Belgium. I also see black people in the pool quite frequently.
It is a pretty crude process using a bulky machine to do only a tiny fraction of what our kidneys can do. It over/under filters different parts of your blood and can create side effects. It doesn't do most of the regulatory functions of your kidneys. You are stuck on it for many hours every (other) day. There are risks of infection. You cannot stay on one mode of treatment your whole life. If you get a transplant you are stuck on anti-rejection medicines your whole life and the kidneys may last for 10-15 years in the best cases. Then it is back to dialysis or another transplant.

I happen to be a dialysis patient (just recently) due to a uncommon autoimmune disease harming my kidneys. Maybe 1 in 1500 chance of you having it but that is uncommon enough that doctors don't have a fully understanding of what exactly happens. There is no blood test or meaningful treatment. Through all my experience in the medical system we are truly living in the dark ages. Other than a few common classes of illnesses, they have no clue how to treat you.

Kidney disease doesn't seem to have much advancement in treatment because there is already some crude way to keep people alive. There are some efforts going on with artificial kidneys that fit in your body. One in particular https://www.ucsf.edu/news/2015/11/165666/artificial-kidney-r.... But I see it struggle to get funding over the years. I see every day shitty tech startups funded for 10x the amount in that project and produce nothing meaningful.
After gaining a bit of experience programming, I've developed for myself the following rule:

If I feel particularly smart and proud after writing a piece of code, I look at it again and remove some smartness in favour of readability.

Unless it's absolutely performance critical, in which case I try to comment the hell out of what's going on.
> Their advice is wrong and deadly.

Are you saying that "She's had several endocrinologists tell her that she needs to eat carbohydrates" is wrong and deadly? (There seems to be no other advice in mcone's post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14812819 to which you are responding.) If so, are you adducing the book you link as your evidence?

Without knowing anything about that book or its author, I think that it's fair to say that any one persons's conclusions should be treated with profound scepticism. That's not the same as saying that they're wrong, but it does mean that calling contrary advice "wrong and deadly" seems very much to be excessively certain.

What memory were they using? How did they get a pointer to it? Perhaps there was reason to believe it would not be used but they had lost that reason to time. For example on many micro controllers you can have the linker reserve space for various things (mapping structures over memory mapped peripherals is common) so maybe the memory they were using was guaranteed to be available somehow. Or perhaps they really were clueless.
Look at the ingredients in most box pasta sold in the US

Do you have an example? All I have on hand says 1 gram of sugar per 2oz of dry pasta, with no sugar or corn syrup in the ingredients list.
My comment was tongue in cheek. Obviously, people with health conditions which prevent them from eating pasta can still enjoy life.

Do note that pasta is delicious, among the best things in life, and not at all comparable to tequila or with being alcoholic. Your comparison is extreme and unfair!
I encounter this too. But I know that people don't listen to me, and as you mention the potential downside is quite large, so to me that all adds up to keeping my big yap shut. The calculus may vary for you.

I get the utilitarian ideal of "minimizing the pain down the road", but the questions are: how much can you even do to minimize that pain, and what distribution will the pain have.
yes, but thats off topic to the article, which focus on a very specific region/profession/time.
Why, what are the risks?
With lunch breaks like that... what do parents do? Go see their kids, because if not when do they see them on workdays?
I was more questioning statements like The average consumer is not even remotely prepared in a fight against a food industry with thousands of PhD's working to make the food as addictive as possible -- food from the laboratories of Chef Boyardee is not alluring for people who haven't already acquired the taste. If you're not conditioned to it, it's repulsive to eat otherwise-bland food that's sweet and salty. I find much prepared American food unappealing-to-disgusting and I've lived here all my life.

But obesity rates are rising in America and across the world, and many people obviously have a hard time giving up this lousy food. So it seems like there's a fairly complicated feedback loop around how people acquire/retain tastes for foods and what they find "irresistible." I love garlic bread, french fries, and popcorn but I eat them only a few times a month and don't feel deprived on days that I don't. Pancakes with syrup: yuck, I'd rather go hungry for breakfast. I don't know why I don't experience carb-cravings or have to exercise any particular willpower to avoid sweets while others struggle mightily.
> The brain itself doesn't have Nociceptors (pain sensory neurons), so there is no pain below the skin and meninges area.

Isn't there even pain (during an operation) in the part of the brain that processes pain?

And how about emotions?
Consider that those "obvious problems" (which you don't name) may be misunderstandings on your part, of the technology, or how economics works on a global scale.

Bitcoin is a very well designed crypto-economic system. It took smart work from people with backgrounds and understanding in both.

It's easy to mock because it's different from the standard quo and Statists seem to think that Only government can do money properly (which is kinda funny when you think about it) and so the criticism of bitcoin that I've seen has never been very good.
I know I have hearing loss but nothing is going to convince me my wife doesn't mumble at times! LOL
Maybe it's because you come off as a pompous prick? Instead of acting like a know it all you should perhaps come at the situation from a more diplomatic perspective.
Can't we actually calculate how much space it will consume? I think there are solutions out there as others have pointed out, storing remotely on servers, compression of archived video, etc. Storage costs have come way down and recording technology has advanced a lot in the last 10 years.

Like many others, I think it should be a requirement of the job. If you are on duty, it is recording. You are paid to do the job. No different than an employer recording web traffic IMO, they get to see what you are doing while they are paying you. If questions come up, they can review the evidence. If you don't like it, don't take that job.
I appreciate this comment but in this case I would disagree.

If the discussion were about a physiological distinction [+] sure. But this discussion was about social/cultural issues that specifically distinguish swimming ability rates among African Americans in the USA versus whites in the USA.

Which is interesting, because you can also see these distinctions, without racial differentiation, in groups world wide who do / do not live near large/deep bodies of water. But in the US case race is a larger determiner regardless of the physical environment. That distinction is interesting.

[+] A black friend of mine once said, "I can't swim -- I sink", a reference to the belief that people of African origin have less subcutaneous fat and therefore higher density, so swimming is harder. I have no idea if this physiological property is true or not but the belief is widespread. I have one white parent and swim like a fish. Everyone on that side of my family loves to swim. Hmm...

You can't steal with a double spend. At worst you can send a transaction and then later undo it. But that would require the dishonest party to work together with or be the hostile miner.

I'm pretty sure the backlash against both the hostile miner and all of Bitcoin combined would not be worth it, except in a Joker 'Let's burn all this cash' kind of way.

The worst a majority can do, is to create a new longest chain without any transactions. But in that case the transactions would still exist and can be mined again later (and supplanted again later).

But that would require a miner to want to spend resources to hurt the minority fork.

If the minority fork is big enough to be a threat, that would require a lot of 'majority' miners to work together to pull off this attack, which would lead to a tragedy of the commons situation. Any majority miner who doesn't participate in the attack would gain.

If the minority fork is small enough to be a toy for a single miner, it still doesn't make sense to put in the still substantial effort.

Just look at the Ethereum fork. Afaik there have been no shenanigans pulled of by a majority miner on the minority fork, even though it's only about 10% of the size.
They increase safety in the short-term. As the number of automobiles goes up, they become more dangerous. Essentially,

safety = mass of your car / average mass of collisionable vehicles + C, where C is a constant that describes how safe the car would be driving the road alone

The safest world is one where you have a tank and everybody else walks.
