I'm paleo, and wanted to try it to see how it tastes. Closer than I expected to a real burger. Not great, but this would be an excellent replacement for factory farmed animals. Not as tasty, or as good for the environment as pasture raised cows.

You never could: any "consensus" you see, the media consensus, the Google search consensus, the Facebook consensus, the Youtube consensus, the consensus of people on the street in your hometown, all have their own biases (social, technological and statistical even if you can escape the political) and they always had. The best you can hope for is to be aware of them.
Empathic Futures – Exploring human-machine relationship
Most companies are run as 'going concerns' so a liquidation disbursement[0] to shareholders is probably (?) very unlikely, but its possibility must be the 'base value' of any stock. (Right?)

Of ANY stock? Wrong.

How much would you give me today if I gave you back 3% of that amount every year forever and at any time you could call it off and get back the original amount you gave me (and you get to keep those payments)? Okay, that's just a savings account.

Okay, how about if I had a solid plan such that I could give you back 3% of that amount next year, 4% the year after that, 5% the year after that, then 6.5%, then 8.5%, onwards and upwards until in a few years it plateaus at you being given 25% (and then rising with inflation) of your original stake each year (which, by the way, you can now cash in for a lot more than you originally paid for it). Is that worth something to you, even if you're not buying any physical assets? The plan is pretty solid, but not foolproof; there's a risk here than it won't work out, but it might.

I have dividend bearing stocks that have done this.

Dividends. A share of the company profits. The value of good dividend bearing shares can be based heavily on how much money they expect to give the shareholders now and into the future, and have very little to do with what physical assets the company actually has.
I'm not 100% sure I understand your comment.

> The superficial solution to this is not to outlaw cryptography completely, but to require those who make cryptography available to keep master keys and/or logs.

Completely or not completely, so to outlaw the strong crypto without a backdoor and put privacy activists who create such tools behind bars? I see where the UK is headed.
Sounds like the unions have something to gain...or lose. oh well, better job security for developers once we automate everything.
so far the engine itself works for me: the gifs it returns are exactly what I wanted based on my message and it's on iMessage. I'm happy
OK, I'll help explain why I downvoted you. It probably would have taken you less time to google "impossible foods burger" than to write your question. More importantly, by starting of your question the way you did, you seem to be implying, intentionally or not, some level of smugness that "don't these guys know soy burgers have been around for 20 years."

Re: migrating customers: I just grandfathered all paying customers to a perpetual free plan. Weren't that many of them. Sadly that app never gained traction. You'd think reliable up/down monitoring of unlimited servers at $4/month would be a good deal.
Well, I'd agree with that....but the ultimate problem isn't where a definition starts.

Why would it mention soy? The article only brings up what I said it brought up, the fertility decline.

Soy protein does blunt testosterone production. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2013/10/131010091557.h...

Soy's effects are well known, at least among (some) doctors.

edited after the parent's edit:

Soy contains phytoestrogens, which are endocrine disruptors. Soy is incredibly estrogenic (http://igrow.org/livestock/beef/hormones-in-beef-myth-vs.-fa... Table 1). See the following research if you're interested.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21175082

> Phytoestrogens, natural plant compounds abundantly found in soy and soy products, behave as weak estrogen mimics or as antiestrogens. They are considered to be EDCs [endocrine disrupting compounds], and have some beneficial effects on health, including reducing the risk of breast cancer and improving metabolic parameters. However, the supporting evidence that consumption of phytoestrogens is beneficial is indirect and inconsistent. Lifetime exposure to estrogenic substances, especially during critical periods of development, has been associated with formation of malignancies and several anomalies of the reproductive systems.

And, the most relevant one:

"These data suggest that higher intake of soy foods and soy isoflavones is associated with lower sperm concentration."

OK, so you acknowledge that this was an unacceptable privacy breach, you're just a little less upset about it than some other people here. Damning with faint praise, I guess.

Vitally | Senior Javascript Engineer (First Hire) | New York | Onsite

Vitally is looking for a senior/lead front-end engineer to join us as we go through Techstars this summer.

What we're looking for:

An ideal teammate for us is a front-end focused senior engineer who is quick learning and adaptable. We'd like you to initially own a good amount of our front-end and dive in where ever else you may be curious (back-end, devops, etc). As the lead on the front-end, you'll also play a critical role in product strategy, design, and building/managing the future front-end team.

Our tech stack is evolving quickly, but we're building the front-end in React/Redux + Typescript and the backend in Node + Typescript + Postgres. Experience with any of those technologies is a plus, but we're open to speaking with strong engineers who will pick things up quickly. Any experience building data-intensive applications is also a plus - we deal with a lot of data :)

As we grow, you'll be able to take a significant leadership role within our engineering team. You'll also have the opportunity to be a member of the team as we go through the Techstars NYC summer session, working alongside some of the most promising startups and talented entrepreneurs in New York.

Who we are:
We are a product analytics platform built for Customer Success. We help Customer Success teams track the product metrics critical to customer retention alongside their impact on those metrics. Check out our demo at https://play.vitally.io

Who you are:

- You are an exceptional Javascript engineer and not just a "framework user"

- You have an intuition and passion for delightful UI and UX. We are setting the bar quite high here and need you to help ensure that polished design translates well into actual code. So yes, you should have a decent understanding of CSS :)

- You are a crazy-fast learner. Thrown into a foreign codebase, you can fire up dev tools and find your way around in a short amount of time

- You have a passion to join a startup at the ground floor. You want to help contribute to the development of the team and culture, helping build both into one of the most respected and reputable around
SNOBOL is a really interesting domain specific language. You might never use it, but knowing a little bit about it will certainly broaden your thought processes. I'm glad somebody is trying to keep it alive.
Looks like it's being logged to npm.hacktask.net/log

Couldn't the developer have at least chosen a less suspicious domain name? :)
Finally someone notes that! I read "You could take a basic algebra problem as an example: 2x + 100 = 500. To solve this with brute force, we simply check every possible value of x until one works. " and began to twitch.
What is it with first-world vegans/vegetarians wanting to eat these extremely processed imitation meat frozen foods? There is an entire tradition of vegetarian cuisine around the world from Rasta Ital, to Hindu Sattvic, Afghani, and Thai which you could learn with just a tiny bit of effort.
I love how highly, highly processed foods are suddenly A-OK to many people here once it's a fake meat product.

>But high-temperature processing has the unfortunate side effect of so denaturing the other proteins in soy that they are rendered largely ineffective.23 That's why animals on soy feed need lysine supplements for normal growth.

>Nitrites, which are potent carcinogens, are formed during spray-drying, and a toxin called lysinoalanine is formed during alkaline processing.24 Numerous artificial flavorings, particularly MSG, are added to soy protein isolate and textured vegetable protein products to mask their strong "beany" taste and to impart the flavor of meat.25

>In feeding experiments, the use of SPI increased requirements for vitamins E, K, D, and B12 and created deficiency symptoms of calcium, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, copper, iron, and zinc.26 Phytic acid remaining in these soy products greatly inhibits zinc and iron absorption; test animals fed SPI develop enlarged organs, particularly the pancreas and thyroid gland, and increased deposition of fatty acids in the liver.27

http://www.mercola.com/article/soy/avoid_soy.htm

I shouldn't even have to post about "Textured Wheat Protein" but it's essentially another denatured protein, one that is completely doused in glyphosate right before harvest..

Check out the chart on page two...

These "vegan" foods are nowhere near healthy.

What warrant? How naive are you, there wouldn't be such a thing.
What is the current status of solar thermal plants in terms of commercial readiness? Are there any to pay attention to other than Ivanpah? What thermal storage technique were you working on? I may have some chemistry in this thread, but energy storage is not my day job.
Even if everyone who eats meat ate it in the same way (as a luxury) it would do little to put a dent in the industry and environmental impacts. The beef industry is sourced by the dairy industry. Even ensuring that the luxury meat is only sourced from 'ethically raised' cows does not account for the myriad ways the dairy industry uses animal parts. Not just skin for leather, but bones for refining sugar, eggs as binders for many dry goods, etc. I think the only way to move forward is to completely break the cycles and remove animals from our food production processes. It would have direct impact on the environment, pollution, health (we are shielded from the amount of chemicals in our dairy/meat).

When the aliens come I don't think they'll be too surprised at seeing humans committing violence against each other through wars, but will marvel at the extremely inefficient way we use animals for food.
I know that Harbour is a re-implementation of Clipper with some added features, but not much else.

I think it's less about the DBF file format and xBase syntax, and more about the high-level conceptual approach, with the language built around concepts like database cursors and mapping data (rather than relegating it all to a library). If this stuff is to be redesigned from scratch in a modern environment, it would have to deal with contemporary data sources - meaning SQL RDBMS - and the syntax could definitely be more consistent and less crufty.
When did I say this was a 100% soy burger?

> Those labels are because the compounds could trigger a soy allergy

...because it contains soy, which has negative effects on fertility. That was my whole point. So why change the subject?
> Ouch, that article really hurt my respect for SPL. Nawaz especially, through his discussions with Sam Harris, really opened my eyes to the struggles of moderate and progressive Muslims when it comes to reforming Islam.

This sort of thing from the Western left is incredibly alarming to me. Imagine hardline Christian conservatives took over America and now we live in Handmaid's Tale. You're one of the tiny minority trying to fight back. How would you feel about people in Europe apologizing for the hardliners and condemning anyone who speaks out against their culture?

Obviously it's not Handmaid's Tale bad, but it's worse than you assume. My family is from Bangladesh. A third of the people from my country think I should be executed for leaving Islam: http://www.pewforum.org/2013/04/30/the-worlds-muslims-religi... Bangladesh is a moderate country in the grand scheme of things--that number is 2/3 in Egypt, Pakistan, and Afghanistan.

Bangladesh was founded as a secular republic, but that was jettisoned and Islam was made the official religion the year before my family left the country. That was all part of a long societal shift away from the west towards the Islamic world. For years--long before any of this hit the radar of anyone at SPLC--my family used the number of women in Dhaka wearing head coverings as a barometer for the country's descent into theocracy (very rare in the 1980s, quite common today).

I get its a fine line. You can't help people integrate if you can't let them adopt western values on their own terms. At the same time, some of this stuff from well-meaning liberals is really a kick to the gut of people fighting for modernity in these countries.

[1] My family was never religious, but that's not a distinction they recognize over there. I can't count how many times I've gotten in a cab with a driver from south asia/the middle east, and someone has asked me "where are you from?" And if I reply "Bangladesh," the answer is invariably "oh so you're Muslim?"
It looks like a bunch of stuff put inside a box ... in a render. It doesn't look like any development beyond "we need to show a product idea" went into it.

Nobody will ever buy anything from them. Nobody should.
Literally first question on the FAQ section if you just scrolled down a little bit on the page :)

>1. How accurate is the language data?

Like any human being, your user could live in (or stay in) a certain country and speak a different language than the official language of the country.

Borland decided to develop TC++ because of the success of ZTC++. (I know some of the people involved.) Before ZTC++, C++ was a niche language, and Borland was having great success with Turbo Pascal. ZTC++ came out in 1987, and TC++ in 1990.

After the success of ZTC++ and TC++, Microsoft changed direction and decided to develop a C++ compiler, too. I heard (but was never able to confirm) that Microsoft had earlier been developing their own object oriented extensions to C called C*.

That gets the chain un-stuck. The difficulty starts off with the old, huge value. The next difficulty adjustment will be at ceil(478560 / 2016), correct? That's 1248 blocks ahead. Check me on this, please.

If mining of that chain is very low, it will take a long time before the difficulty adjusts downward. So far 6 blocks have been mined on that chain.[1] Rate is maybe one per hour, instead of the usual one every 10 minutes. That puts the difficulty adjustment maybe six weeks out. We'll have to see who mines on that chain. The hash rate may go up or down, depending on what the big miners do. Mining will be unprofitable until the next difficulty adjustment, because the price of the coin is lower than the "mainstream" coin. Confirmations will be really slow. After the next adjustment, the chain will work better.

Something similar happened to some altcoins. Some big miner mined for a while, made some money, ran up the difficulty adjustment way up, and then stopped. Block generation then stalled. This thing self-adjusts, but adjusts to big changes in hash rate very slowly.
