I've been priming my nieces to think like computers by playing a simple game with them. I pretend to be a robot and they give me instructions. When they say 'turn left' I keep rotating until they tell me to stop. When they say 'sit down' I just sit wherever I am, even if there's a chair right behind me.

They think I'm just being silly and we all have a laugh but they're getting the hang of it!
Soybeans contain phytoestrogens. The myths, truths, and unknowns revolve around how phytoestrogens affect humans.
Many of the forms of soy eaten in Asia are fermented or otherwise chemically changed to the point that their negative effects could be less pronounced. Soy sauce, miso and natto are some of many examples.
City governments would probably be the best choice to operate these transportation exchanges, where buyers (passengers in these cities) could meet sellers (drivers and taxis in these cities) on a centralized marketplace.
Further, as of this writing, more than 24 hours after the first forked block was mined, we still don't even have those 20 confirmations!
It's super unprofitable to mine BCH right now, at current exchange rates (assuming you could even sell BCH, which you can't). Miners stopped to wait for it to become profitable again, due to BCH's special difficulty adjustment. Details: https://medium.com/@jimmysong/bitcoin-cash-difficulty-adjust...

Those vegans are the very few you read about in newspapers every 3 years. They became began for health reasons and take it to the extreme, and somehow manage to convince themselves that even breast milk is bad.

Nobody has actually met someone like that,yet they are the ones people think of when they hear the words vegan and parent in the same sentence.

On soy: depending on you estrogen levels soy can heighten you estrogen activity if it is low,or lower it if it is high due to the isoflavones (phytoestrogens) it contains.

Cows milk will definitely heighten your estrogen activity,even though most of those hormones doesn't survive the environments in our stomachs,because that estrogen is highly active even in humans.

Make no mistake, FUD kills. If you're in a position of influence, you want to make goddamned sure you're right before you hold back human (and machine) progress by focusing only on Things That Could Go Horribly Wrong. Otherwise, you're basically asking for unintended consequences instead of just trying to warn humanity about them.

Musk has actively been trying to incite governmental regulation, for instance: https://www.recode.net/2017/7/15/15976744/elon-musk-artifici...

> The hardest part of remote jobs is finding one that will pay even remotely (hehe) what you could make at a local company.

If you live outside the US, it's the opposite: the goal is to find a job that pays a US programmer's salary, which is usually far more (yes, even outside SV) than what you could make at any "local company."
A correct system disallows abuse to happen in the first place. I would draw a parallel to buggy software, that loses the trust of its users. I feel that the same thing can happen to a legal system: and then what will happen?

Introducing the MMM World Headquarters Building
Never had an Uber driver driving like maniac. To be sure, I live to the south of SF and try to never drive into SF unless I absolutely have to, and when I do, I pretty much expect developing-country-type driving environment. But I may just be spoiled by suburbia-type traffic patterns. In any case, even SF Uber drivers has always been excellent for me. I realize that's anecdata, so I wonder if somebody did any kind of robust survey of this.
My concern would be that throwing internet connection under a consent flag may stop some shady apps, but the rest will just invent a bogus reason for why they need to connect: "We need to connect to the internet to check for updates!" How many Android apps have requested access to your Contacts, and waived the harvesting concerns away by saying it only needs to see your Contacts so that it can more easily pair you with your friends? Nevermind that they're also uploading the entire contact list to their servers...

Without an easy way to know who the package is connecting to, it only instills a false sense of security.

For calculus, books, why Spivak over Swokowski? Can you compare and contrast and suggest why someone might suggest one over the other? I don't have a preference myself, but it would be good to understand the differences.

The linear algebra is obviously key, and I wish we'd done more of the in my advanced high school classes instead of elementary analysis.

I think this thread is about copying and pasting code versus using a small library in the Go case, which might be a philosphical difference with Rust.

It might help to point out that vendored crates are compiled from source making the required review process referenced by that poster just as possible with server crates.
I think I understand the problem, but I think "able to provide breast milk" seems very open to interpretation. Babies are disruptive even before you have to pump or feed every 4 hours. But if you stop even a few times the body will stop providing milk. If your schedule doesn't support that (or you screw up occasionally) it will have a big effect.

However, that really means that you're not willing (ex a few percent who would have had dead children) to do what would have been required a few hundred years ago. Formula for a majority is a convenience... and has been since we used wet nurses and cow's milk.
The fats in whole milk are, but you can get the appropriate fats from other sources.

He broke the law. Not just that, he broke the law and spit in the face of powerful people holding lots of money. Not just that, but he did it publically, SELLING HIS ILLEGAL PRODUCTS.

What happened to him is terrifying and way disproportionate of his crime, which amounted to a few dollars of lost profits by companies that continue to post record profits even in the face of widespread piracy. However, the lesson you should take from this is that if you should 1) not piss off people with lots of money while breaking the law, and 2) if you do, try to make yourself hard to find. People commit much worse crimes like rape and murder, and get away with it without being found, you should be able to figure out how to give people an app anonymously.

Of course, that is unless you want to make a political statement via civil disobediance, but I have the feeling that person wasn't after that.
There are a lot of studies on soy consumption. The short version is that soy is healthy up to a certain point, so it's fine to make it part of your diet as long as you don't overdo it.

I'd wager most peoples' database backups live in AWS as well.

Plus, some people have huge, huge datasets. It could easily take weeks to migrate to, say, GCE, or to your own hosted servers. In the latter case, it would also necessitate a pretty large up-front investment.
I was alluding to the fact that because it is okay to not respect "boundaries" in some way. Very often, folks will grab work without any care about stepping on another person's toes. It becomes a sort of race to the bottom because very frequently, folks won't report a bug until they have a fix for it and then they open a PR and open a ticket.
I don't get the "10 days notice" argument. Shouldn't it be the default assumption that they won't support any fork at any point UNLESS they announced support? It's not like they tricked anybody into it, or made it unusually difficult to withdraw BTC.
Everything is cyclical. We have not had a major crisis since 2008... Perhaps something is coming our way. Who knows.
From The Bureau of Justice Statistics, the "Prisoners in 2015" report, table 8, page 13 [0]:

>Percent of sentenced prisoners under the jurisdiction of state or federal correctional authorities, by age, sex, race, and Hispanic
origin, December 31, 2015

446,700 white male prisoners
501,300 black male prisoners
301,500 hispanic male prisoners
122,400 other male prisoners

Which means male adults of color (925,200) make up more than double the male white adult (446,700) state/federal prison population.

[0]https://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/p15.pdf

The more disturbing statistic being that 1,745/100,000 black adults are incarcerated, compared to 317/100,000 white adults.

Female incarceration rates do not follow this same trend identically according to the data, and they make up only ~7% of the total correctional population.

That's a great suggestion. Thank you for taking the time to reply. So far I haven't been successful in picking projects that I could meaningfully contribute to. Also worth noting that most low hanging fruits are solved so the open problems are either really hairy or undiscovered.

I think what's new is the string of high-profile companies who have raised lots of money, released a product, and then shut down only a few months later. (Peach, Meerkat, Talkshow, etc.)
Sure, I have no problem with that. But then it goes both way, the same companies should stop virtue signaling at home every times they disagree with a social policy enactment.
Polycom's been decent for the lower end of the spectrum but Cisco's telepresence connectivity has been incredible. Wish there was something on the lower end scale with the same quality.

As long as you are providing ample opportunity to develop a range of fine-motor skills, and 3-D visual perception at many ranges of distance, and interactive spoken communication, and not fixing gaze at a single distance for extended periods of time.
I agree, completely. It is a policy issue. For that reason, I am imploring the maintainers of packaging communities like Sublime Text, pip, CPAN, etc. to put forth a firm stance in their policy that says No, we will not tolerate this, period. If you don't, it sends the message that this sort of scummy behavior is acceptable so long as you disclose it. I don't think that's okay, I don't think any sane end-user thinks that's okay. What little defense of this I've seen inevitably comes from other developers, who invariably have monetization in the back of their minds.
You may see it as funny, I see it as refactoring. If we try it in a different way and end up with the same solution, we know it's there not because somebody 60 years ago wanted to make a quick buck out of it and then it stuck because regulations are forever.

Btrfs brings IMO too little to the table, considering that ZoL is quite mature; It always seemed to me like it's the "we can't have ZFS so..." solution, but unlike Gnome (being the "can't have KDE" solution), it does not yet deliver, after a long long time.

The next fs to make a difference, post ZFS, is likely HAMMER2[0] - it's supposedly already stable for single node use (the ZFS / XFS / ext4 use case), and is advancing towards the multinode-at-the-underlying-fs-level, a first.

That's a good balanced view.

Note that the difficulty will be reduced, to about 20%, after the next 6 blocks. So the transaction delays should resolve themselves during the next 12-24 hours or so.
There are several problems.

First, what is intelligence? Is it simply math & science? What if we lose other hard-to-measure, essential traits?

How much happiness is "better"? Should we "switch on" a gene that makes someone perpetually happier, given the option?

What happens when a set of traits becomes popular? Will diversity be lost? Will everyone choose lighter shades of skin?

If Coinbase is actually holding BTC for every claimed BTC of their customers, then it's trivial to calculate how many BCH the customer held at the time of the fork and create a way to claim them or transfer them. It could be a one-time option, if Coinbase doesn't want to deal with BCH.

Unless they aren't holding as much BTC as their customers think they are. In which case, it gets complicated.
yes.

>These dialogue rollouts led to bots that negotiated harder and proposed the final deal more often than their counterparts. The bots were also able to produce novel sentences rather than just relying on sentences encountered through training data. And remarkably, the bots engaged in some sly strategizing. There were instances when the bot feigned interest in an item that had no value to them and then pretended to compromise later by conceding it in exchange for something it actually wanted. In a statement, Facebook said, "This behavior was not programmed by the researchers but was discovered by the bot as a method for trying to achieve its goals."

>non-trivial SPA's can't usually be constrained by tools like that because they don't allow for enough flexibility.

Yeah, you've kind of repeated variations of that vague statement, to which I've replied with specific capabilities/features that SPAs and modern webapps tend to use. I've suggested that they represent very common features/layouts that can readily be constructed with the aid of a GUI tool.

But, here, you've now responded with a few website builders that are not intended to be used for the kinds of SPAs/modern webapps we're discussing. That doesn't make a point, except to say that "other things exist".

Do you have specific examples of SPA/webapp functionality that cannot be readily built with the aid of a GUI tool?
Don't, until you've gone over it with your current employer and had them sign off on your ownership of the project and its potential intellectual property.

If they won't, you'll need to keep it as a side project while you're working for them, unless you're okay with relinquishing some rights to it.
In NYC, Uber drivers are required to be licensed by the Taxi and Limousine Commission, and you can report their dangerous driving to the commission, who will fine them.

It seems like a much better system.
Heck, you can see this in US coinage today. A quarter feels like about half the weight it was when I was a kid. The cost of the metal gets to a point where it doesn't make sense to use it in the currency anymore. For example, if the metal in a quarter was worth more than $.25, you could simply melt it down and sell it for more than the face value (assuming the cost of melting etc. could be brought down at volume).
It depends on what you mean by "learning" calculus.
Of course it's an incredible outlier.

Even for designated geniuses, the ones who excelled all life and ahd strong parental support and become world-famous mathematical achievers, calculus at age 8 is unusual.

There's plenty of room to increase the level of achievement across many inherent-skill-level bands, though, with focused training.

The tame US comic still does not pass all 41 points of 1954 comic code which was fully endorsed. Nor half "Disnified" cartoons and stories for little children.

It is pretty much impossible to defend comic code as written, even ignoring the argument that adults should be able to read horror stories (including those grittier then Game of Thrones) if they like them. Comic code was simply a reaction of people unable to suddenly process that many have different preferences then them.
I can see this concept being a huge success because it is solving a real problem. The difficult lift is the employer buyin.
This is addressed explicitly in the article:

> Cultures with a long-time reliance on soy protein apparently realized this early, Patisaul adds. For instance, the compounds in soy are known to interfere with the body’s uptake of iodine, an element necessary for healthy functioning of the hormones produced by the thyroid gland. Chinese farmers first cultivated soybeans about 1100 B.C., so it’s not surprising, she notes, that many Asian diets gradually evolved to contain foods that contain extra high levels of iodine, such as seaweeds.
That's exactly what they did say.
