I am a big fan of kitchen gadgets - and there are a few really useful ones around, this product is just odd. Besides the price for the machine and the pods, I fail to see how it adds any value to the process.

If you want really fresh and nutritious drinks, get a high-power blender. Not only do they operate on any fresh fruit and vegetable, they keep all the fiber in the produced drink. So less sugar percentage (especially if you have lots of vegetables in the mix) and vs. eating the fruit directly, the high power mixing helps digesting all nutritients much better than just chewing can.

As a bonus, you can use it for many other cooking tasks (soups, sauces) but also you can do things like blending a good amount of ice with the fruit to get a cold and icy drink and my favorite is just to mis a scoop of natural yoghurt with frozen berries (add sugar, cream, a shot of bourbon to your taste) to instantly get a nice ice-cream like dessert.

(Disclaimer: there are a very few vegetables which should be eaten cooked only, so don't use those for a smoothie, others only in reasonable dosis, so some very basic reading is recommended)

What are the realistic alternatives to Booking.com though?

When I'm planning a journey the reviews and search by area features of Booking.com make it possible for me to gain some understanding of going rates and hotel quality, but the process leaves a lot to be desired for both me, the customer, and the hotel.

I can search with Booking.com yet book directly with the hotel, but that means I can't review the property and help others.

> From what I understand, the definition of a transpiler is one which almost exclusively performs syntax-syntax transforms, and doesn't delve into the semantics with e.g. dataflow or control flow.

I suggest you read the other article from the same author, linked at the beginning of this article: http://composition.al/blog/2017/07/30/what-do-people-mean-wh... . You will see that there is no such thing as "the definition of a transpiler".

I really hate being meta, but why are people responding to a comment with no meat or substance?

Look - we are all the children of survivors, and the correct counter factual are all our siblings and their lineages who didn't make it.
Along with all the other valid criticism below you also seem to be assuming that the sex working business has a problem to solve. Do you actually have sex workers on staff? Have you talked to an entity like the Prostitute's Collective here in New Zealand (sex working is decriminalised here in NZ and the PC was heavily involved) about what their members would want?

I suspect that Clients and sex workers are really going to struggle with the technical complexity, unknown trust layering and eventual demise. Meanwhile every financial regulator, starting with the SEC, will throw the book at your fund raising, and your baiting behaviour as evidenced here will encourage authorities in multiple jurisdictions to track you down. Sex workers have a tough lot, and deserve a lot better than this.

We can't even get internet access regulated as a public utility in the US despite many begging for it, hell we can't even keep internet access neutral! There's no way that a tool used on the internet would become one.

If people don't have jobs they dont' make money only very few of them can offer to invest in stock let alone property.

According to some reports, the entirety of the world's current wealth is measured to be north of $240 trillion dollars. [1]

There will only be 21 million bitcoins ever.

Let's say we were to measure all of our wealth in bitcoins, and let's say we already have all the bitcoins ever to exist available now. Then each bitcoin could be the equivalent of what $11,428,571.43 is to us today.

C/C++ doesn't really have good general networking libraries that fit all purposes. On that note, I say: yes, great topic!

However.

Portability is one of the key features of C++, and why people still choose it for new projects. If one can constrain project to Linux I'm sure the project constraints would allow a more productive language to be used altogether.
I use Magit daily and this is great to see. It's made me really start evaluating how much I owe to open source devs like Jonas and how much I can help in $ terms.

I sincerely hope it goes well and gets fully backed. It does make me wonder how many great open source initiatives fall by the wayside purely because the main driver behind it can no longer do it on "charity time".

Out of curiosity, can anyone comment on how long one could expect to live comfortably off 55K CHF in Switzerland - considering average rent and living costs? I remember everything being quite expensive there.
##Parking Fee in Private Institutions Legitimate?
The battle over the question whether or not something exists in the mathematical sense has essentially been won by the formalists, who will allow any definition to claim the existence of something so long as it is consistent with the rest of mathematics.

Then, given that 0.99999... exists, what useful properties could it possibly have, if it is to be treated as a number.

0.99999... = 0.9999... * 1 = 0.99999... * 9/9 = 0.99999... * (10 - 1)/9 = (0.99999... * 10 - 0.99999... * 1)/9 = (9.99999... - 0.99999...)/9 = 9.00000.../9 = 9/9 = 1

So if 0.99999... exists and has the same arithmetic properties as decimal expansions of rational numbers, its value must be 1. Now whether you think it should have these properties is an entirely different question, but most mathematicians seem to like it this way.

New Report Says Robots Will Take Over Construction Industry by 2020
James Cromwell was arrested for protesting a dirty and unnecessary coal power plant in NY, but I don't think it made a difference. I think academic research that's newsworthy has much more and different punch than direct action. Using the existing broadcasting platforms scales more that all the screaming and picketing in Times Square, grandmas with prayer stick beaten down, dogs dripping with human blood or girls arms blown off when the news isn't watching.

I already know the definition.

What I am saying is that the definition should be put in place whenever ellipsis is used. Better yet, do not even use ellipsis. Else at some people get confused.

An incorrect but partial analogy is use of physics meaning of the words energy and power in common language.
How does this differ from, eg, asio?

No DRM as far as I can tell. You can make your own pods with simple kits which are basically just an empty capsule and some foil you stick on the top.
What? Communist party power dynamics are similar to ones in a gang - i.e. you have someone from the party who managed to seize power and lots of other top party members silently forming cliques and waiting for you to slip, so that they can deliver the blow. The country's people are only chips in the game, if that (often, rulers are toppled not over their policy but over some bullshit doctrinal dispute).
There's a few more issues with that.

I'm a developer of open source apps on Android. Thousands of people use them daily.

But to test with new Android versions before release, I will now need a Google Pixel (because Google stopped supporting my Nexus 5X), and Pixels are $900-1300 where I live. Unaffordable.

It all wouldn't be an issue if Android wouldn't have dozens of tiny undocumented API breaks with every release, and the AOSP source that one could check for those only coming out weeks after release.
It was absolutely disgusting. They're acting like the local paramilitary mafia, where they can arrest and even kill people without consequences.

10 Celebrities That Donated Millions to Harvey Flood Victims
The vision is finally having a good UI kit. Components, templates, lazy loading, isomorphic/universal JS, precompilation, maintainability, code discoverability, ease of team development, testing, etc.

Angular CLI does the compilation, provides the boilerplate management (no need for IDE, if you don't want that), provides the language service (for static checking templates).

Google dogfoods it, they are on the latest rc always. Somehow they can manage the API changes/breaks. (And so far it wasn't much problem for us either.)

Does Bitcoin threaten economic stability?
On the subject of manufacturing in China, everyone seems to be saying the same thing, namely that you get exactly what you ask for, without any input or suggestion from the manufacturer, even in the presence of obvious flaws in your original design.

This hasn't been my experience. I manufacture small metal objects in China, that are not very complex (no electronics, etc.) but I get good inputs from manufacturers. For the packaging for example, we designed cases and envelopes with a manufacturer, and they came up with several ideas that we tested on prototypes -- some good, some bad, but the point is, they did have ideas and they did offer them for consideration.

More importantly, it differs from manufacturer to manufacturer. Some factories will produce garbage and then try to explain to you that there is no other way (after the fact); other factories correct mistakes before they even show you the result, because they understand what you want and they iterate autonomously, in order to get there.

What is true is that manufacturing is sloooow. The total duration quoted at the beginning of a project should be at least doubled. But this is probably not Chinese-specific.

I disagree. I tried that approach for many years but without external input, I could never figure out how to transition from a simple expression language to a proven, working compiler architecture. While large compiler architectures work well for smaller languages, the opposite is not true.

I have found it much better to pick a good introductory text and just work through the exercises.
The hospital's legal team would need to determine if her rights were probably violated, in which case there could be valid challenge to qualified immunity. Furthermore, the situation at present is untenable: cops are getting away with violating people's rights and murder, so reversing key decisions is necessary to preserve a civil society or it all comes crashing down when people are tired of jack-booted thugs running amok and throw it all away.
Not this bikeshedding crap again.

Obviously there is an infinite amount of demand for jobs because there is no lower bound income (how much demand is there for an employee that doesn't cost anything?). What's the point of more jobs if you have to work two or more of them to survive? Obviously what matters is the quality of the jobs and not the quantity. A more interesting question would be to ask if robots increase inequality.
Perhaps you're right. The officer certainly could have used a lot more grace in handling the situation.

Still you can't expect police officers to know the law. In western law it is more or less the case that nobody does. We just act, and check afterwards. We do that by attempting to create consensus between at least 3 people (2 -usually- lawyers and a judge). Getting arrested can happen to anyone and doesn't mean anything.

That's theoretical. Practically, I've actually seen the office of a lawyer that took pride in actually having the law in his office. 3 bookcases that each cover an entire wall in his extra-high office were to contain it. He ran out of space in 1993. That did not include either precedents or legal guidelines (the "little" books that are used in most, if not all, practical cases). Just started at constitution and add with whatever congress added.
“However, for the man who studies to gain insight, books and studies are merely rungs of the ladder on which he climbs to the summit of knowledge. As soon as a rung has raised him up one step, he leaves it behind. On the other hand, the many who study in order to fill their memory do not use the rungs of the ladder for climbing, but take them off and load themselves with them to take away, rejoicing at the increasing weight of the burden. They remain below forever, because they bear what should have bourne them.”

Can confirm.

The way it usually works is that Company X has N dollars allocated for security. Company X (or rather, a person or a team at Company X, with his/her/their own internal and external priorities and motivations) buys a service - recurring automated tests/assessments/pentests &c. This is where the usual corporate bullsh*t kicks in. If they want to show that they've done a good job in securing something, they buy a pentest over a short duration for a minor thing and then they claim "<trusted security vendor Y> said we were secure". If they want more money, they obtain data to show that. The infosec companies has a "customer is always right" mind-set. It's business.

You can probably get good cash just for telling people to use TLS. Green padlocks and all that.

EDIT: also, to differentiate infosec from regular security, don't forget to prepend "cyber" to everything.
they don't even need to tax the water. They could hold proper auctions of the water, and that alone would lead to massive savings and conservation.
