I don't know how the film will be, but based on the short quips on the homepage, it seems Alan Aragon's quote from 2016 won't be far off: https://www.facebook.com/alan.aragon.796/posts/1015548460098...

Well, in the best case I guess, seems you think the textbook is just a bunch of lies and there won't even be half of the pages left in there?

Just hoping that you won't further the spread of the many myths about nutrition that are so popular today. There are for instance actually still people who don't think calories in vs calories out determines weight change.

The relevant question of course is what determines calories in and out if you aren't counting it manually.
> I would be more worried about issues similar to the diesel gate scandal where manufacturers start forging radiation tests results.

They already do. Part of the reason why government-funded tests are more likely to show that cell phones cause cancer is that there have been industry-funded tests that have placed the phones several inches away from the subject's body and put them in shielded cases.
If 'Breivik' happened regularly, even just every three years, then I would see your point. A society that produces a Breivik (i.e. some crazy fascist who thinks killing the most children he can is what he should do with his time) every three years must indeed be sick. For these reasons I'm currently also concerned about most European countries.

Desth rate statistics don't do justice to the looming threat of a group/tribe/clan/haggle of people who are out to just kill out-group people no matter what. I'm not concerned much about the risk itself, but I am about what it does to civic life.

Luckily the Australian census and statistics are quite targeted on these areas, so you can drill down to quite detailed area level analysis.

You can google for "Australian Census 2016 quick stats" and get this information for most places in Australia.

Where I currently live is very atypical for Aus, about 75% of households here have 1 or fewer cars, but I've lived pretty much up and down the entire east coast and have a relatively intimate knowledge of both this country and the collection of information on it.

I'd just like to comment that TEA (the elm architecture) has changed a bit now, and been baked into the langauge. They've made it very tedious to abstract any state away from global, and so those examples have been removed (if you look at TEA NOT from 2015). It's an unfortunate thing in the Elm community that they encourage you to either: A: have an update function that could grow forever depending on the sizeof your app, B - have to write many lines of boilerplate and get 'discouraged' from even doing so by the community because it's not the language's blessed path.

Here is the new TEA doc: https://guide.elm-lang.org/architecture/

Note it never mentions components or how to compose update functions.
Not many people can afford 2000 calories of steak every day. Result from anecdotal evidence: "eating steak causes health loss."

> Most of our popular models of diet are basically unscientific quackery.

The most conventional holds up: the one that consuming too many calories causes one to gain weight, and consuming not enough calories causes one to lose weight.

If I'd go with what's popular on my gf's FB, I'd end up believing vegan diet is the panacea. We're living in our bubbles. Your mistake in thinking is the assumption that diets like keto and atkins are popular. They're not popular. They're just hypes in certain circles like silicon valley.

Another thing you'll find is that there are government (based on science) recommended daily intake on things like vitamin D, iron, vitamin B12, etc etc and with a keto diet or high carb diet or whatever diet this may be difficult to reach. Although that's not directly related to weight, it is related to health.
I suspect that the only companies with this kind of salary in the EU are Palantir and trading companies (e.g. Jane Street).

I'm confused, since betfair is an exchange aren't they just taking a cut of the action? Why would they add a heavy tax onto profits which would just drive heavy bettors away?
Escorting might not be viewed as fundamental a right as driving, but yes, same idea. We put morality over legality.

Extrajurisdictional does not just mean criminal. It means that we operate in a way that no specific jurisdiction can apply itself to us. It isn't a wild card to just do whatever we want. We fully intend to pay taxes where possible. We want to be as transparent as possible to avoid money laundering. We have a strict no drugs policy. Strict age requirements, and, as far as possible, no coercion/trafficking/pimping. (If we see one device managing multiple accounts, we'll investigate/ban.)
> You could totally just write the FdWrapper class

Yes, and that RAII class would be reusable all of the places you need to close a file descriptor. It's even a handy place to hang more methods that work on the descriptor... for instance if you wanted to abstract those ioctls.

That's why I personally never use ScopeGuards in C++. You are correct that writing a single-use RAII class requires a few lines of extra code. However I have found that after I write such a class I often find myself using it over and over.
A decade ago there was a giant push in the media government, and hospital administrations calling doctors heartless for not prescribing more painkillers. Hours of mandatory classes on using opioids in all sorts of situations. Exposes on chronic pain patients made to suffer.

This isn't really something that happened behind closed doors with drug reps. There was a concerted public effort to change the culture in medicine.
Calories are calories (it's literally a measure of energy!) The packages they come in will effect hormonal and psychological responses differently which may affect the amount you would take in if intake is left unmonitored. To that extent, it's wise to take in foods which don't nudge you towards over consuming, but if you can be disciplined and take in a quantity of energy less than you expend on a consistent basis, eating that intake as sugar rather than other macros isn't going to magically make you gain weight.
That level of salary... well I'd say you gotta sell your soul and head off into banking or into a role as consultant somewhere, but no way for ordinary devs, even in Germany. For what it's worth I know directors of 300+ employee companies that don't crack the 100k.

Alternatively try to land a remote job for some Valley-based or other VC backed company, but beware of the tax and legal implications of doing so.

Filing a pct is not that expensive and buys you 18 months to decide if you want to file national patents. You can even file a pact yourself.

A few thoughts:
1. if you can’t afford to file a patent you probably can’t afford to litigate a possible infringer.
2. In the above case does having a patent help sales from the marketing point of view? If no, why bother with one. If yes, then you may want to just file a us patent.

Same here. If you have a strategy that wins you money overall, bookmakers either send you a nice email saying your account is closed as they do not welcome professional players or they just severely limit your stakes (think $20 a bet).

(Will Hill, Interwetten, Betway are exactly the type of bookies that will close your account as soon as they catch on)

Yes, the odds can be exploited and there is a whole bunch of services offering picks, but eventually the sportsbooks catch on and close your account. The sportsbooks that welcome professional players are few and far between and their odds are on point.
Hey good news, 5G is coming soon.
I think one possible alternative is that we never build anything that approaches general intelligence, but we build a lot of mostly autonomous systems that are better than human beings in a lot of domains, and which may behave in ways that their creators never intended.

Once we allow ais to manage warfare and the economy with minimal human input, they are going to alter the face of the planet in ways that we can’t predict and probably faster than we can adjust to them.

It can happen in small steps with alogorithmic trading and battlefield drones gradually being given more and more decision making power and resources to control.

They don’t even have to have any sort of intention or independent will—only autonomy and power.

Because people who bet sharply on lines reduce the long term profitability of the bookies. While they reduce the variance, they take directly from the profits.

Defeats the point of being a bookie when better bettors imbalance the book in one direction and win.
While I find this article sad, it's ultimately inevitable as far as I see it.

I read a lot, and I enjoy collecting books, but I ceased buying physical books a long time ago. I've started backfilling my ebook collection based on my old physical collections. At some point, I will be able to find digital replacements for 99% of my physical book collections and I will eventually find a decent way to digitize the rest. Ultimately, digital books are just better for me. I can pull my Kindle out of my bag and have a copy of every book I've ever read and access to basically anything I might want to read. I may mourn the loss of paper books, I absolutely do mourn the loss of bookstores but ultimately ebooks are just a far superior product. The fact that they are cheaper doesn't personally factor into the equation to me.

Ultimately, I think the digital print industry is just shaking off vestiges that the physical print industry required and the digital economy no longer requires. In a few (more like 10-20) years the amount of value-add coming from the publishers to writers is going to drift close enough to zero that I think the whole industry will go closer to self-publishing and become far more egalitarian.

You'll pay someone to proof your book, someone to (digitally) typeset it, and someone to upload it to the top N digital distribution platforms. (Apple iBooks, Amazon, ?? who else) and the revenue cut from that will be far, far lower than what today's publishers get. You can obviously hire a publicist and have them do that facet of things too.
Short-term, that is correct.

But long-term the maintenance is significantly higher, as you need to replace the road surface very frequently.

A usual bus stop, or a BRT lane, has to be replaced every 6 months if it’s asphalt, and every 18 to 24 months if it’s cobblestone. That’s a significant expense.

While you can build and use light rail for decades.
Because this isn’t true. A moderate strain relief is far better than none.

The strain reliefs Apple uses work fine for a lot of people. I used to use an MBP with a MagSafe connector and never had any strain relief problems.

Sometimes you need to wrap C APIs. Sure you could put their guts in a class or struct, but you can also use a unique_ptr for some of the same lifetime stuff.

Also, defer in Go always uses the function exit, not the scope. Not sure you can do that in C++. Everything seems scoped.

Maybe don't do this :-)
Late edit: of course none of this disputes or negates "that many essential nutrients are provided by plants" --- many indeed are.

Carbs increase insulin. Insulin increases the level of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in your body. LPL dictates how much energy you store as white fat. No carbs --> low insulin --> low LPL.

So FWIW @ericabiz is correct "It really is the carbs and sugar that do you in".

You also responded to @kichuku regarding sugar being sugar:

> The natural in sugar is irrelevant. Sugar is sugar; as in fructose is fructose, and glucose is glucose.

Not exactly. Fructose doesn't initiate an insulin response in the body... so it doesn't increase LPL... there are other problems with fructose but the 'natural' in the sugar shouldn't be dismissed.
If the salary is all you are after and do not mind the culture shock, did you look into relocating to Switzerland?

Calling it securities fraud is rather unfair if you ask me. Why do you say fraud? Sure, we do not follow the SEC rules. In fact, the SEC opinion on ICOs is what galvanized us to go all out and insist on offering real equity to investors. It's far better than the nonsense ICOs come up with to tokenize themselves.

People like the Tezos group, asking for donations... it is disgusting that investors go for that. Demand equity. We always choose morality over legality. Following SEC rules technically, while ripping off investors ... I'd rather be in the clear ethically.

The blockchain part is for payments, so not that big of a deal. Though to raise money, we'd be better off finding a blockchain angle to the platform! Truthfully though, our app is not breaking new tech ground, apart from privacy and security (see the link in my original post).

We are ambitious though! I think we'll be the first blockchain-funded unicorn. Escorting is fragmented and high friction, and we're going to fix it. Our VP of Product is an active sex worker and very tuned in to the real issues facing workers and clients.
Contrarily, I buy physical books and have stopped using my kindle entirely.

I prefer to own the book, and not merely a license to use a DRM'ed instance of it.
Seattle feels like numerous tangentially-connected villages, mostly based on how it was formed:

- Downtown's financial district and retail core, with the jail, hospitals, churches, and other services (like the methodone clinic and drunk tank) on First Hill.

- Capitol Hill's "crazy night life".

- Queen Anne Hill with normal-ish people.

- Magnolia's rich separation.

- Ballard the Scandinavian fishing village.

- Fremont and Wallingford - the artist and hippie communes, the University District, and Ravenna.

- The International District and The Jungle.

- Beacon Hill and Rainier Beach, where the action happens day or night.

- SoDo (Southern Downtown)'s industrial core.

- Lake City feels like the "northern SODO".

- West Seattle feeling closer to Seatac than Seattle.

I disagree with a good bit of this advice. And I suspect it varies with the discipline of study.

In a field like computer science, time is better spent working on personal projects, hashing out ideas with peers and exploring research opportunities than aspiring to get an A in every class. A's make for boring, one dimensional students. People who make priorities based on more complex factors than an arbitrary letter grade are preferable to interact and work with.

Believe it or not, your epidermis is waterproof.
Hi,

I'm no expert on the exact regulations, but I run fccid.io and have a pretty good idea of the process manufacturers go through.

Although forgery of results would be possible, almost all testing is done by independent labs. It would be possible for the manufacturer to submit a "compliant" sample but then program the rest of the units to radiate differently.

What I see most commonly are devices being sold without any FCC testing. All wireless devices sold in the USA should have certification but many new startups may not know the regulation around the industry (i.e. a kickstarter smart bike lock project might not take FCC certification into account and end up selling a few thousand devices before going belly up). Testing is often thousands of dollars so for a little-known startup they may just try to ride on the fact that their Aliexpress supplied Bluetooth chip "is FCC certified" (it's not).

It's not always startups that are skirting the testing though, Bayer's Aleve Direct Therapy TENS bosts some invalid FCC IDs on the user manual. https://www.aleve.com/aleve-direct-therapy/how-it-works/

From what I've seen, there is little to no actual enforcement that goes on within this licensing space (but there is also a pretty high rate of compliance).

The FCC has an outline from 2008 where they explain more of the compliance audit process: https://transition.fcc.gov/oet/ea/presentations/files/oct08/...
So the MagSage concept is good, but Apple's implementation isn't.

I use a somewhat similar concept for some of my mobile devices (Magsafe-like adapter) to charge and transfer data. I'm not sure how frowned upon it is to link to a specific manufacturer here, but I assume a USB-C adapter could be attractive to someone on a new MacBook Pro that miss the MagSafe connector.
We may write up more when we have things stably working after a while. But we are very cautious mentioning any specific tools, as that gives attackers a head-start. We won't mention OS, stack, DB, etc.

Good for you! You should know, though, that this is primarily water weight lost, and it's common when first starting a diet. 30lbs of fat lost would be a caloric deficit of around 100k calories. Don't get discouraged if you can't replicate that result with further time. What's the change in your waist size been like?
Including the subtitle helps:

"Women in Harvard's math department report a bevy of inequalities—from a discouraging absence of female faculty to a culture of "math bro" condescension."
Yes, that was probably a lot of it. I have no doubt that my caloric intake decreased more than just from butter, and next on the list would most likely be carbs. I started eating more of some other things such as lean meats and beans.
Yeah the aesthetic argument is one I can't really argue against. I also like cemeteries for aesthetic reasons, but there's no reason why we couldn't preserve a forest and then plant monuments there, followed by cremation.

Are physical monuments getting more or less popular? I mean, my whole history and life is basically on Facebook, which acts as a more thorough monument than any limited gravestone ever could. Remembering people through electronics seems like a complete eco-friendly replacement for altars and other space consuming habits.
Like most college advice, this is a combination of "what my professors wish I would do" and "what future me will wish I did".

Good advice doesn't just tell you what you will be glad you did later, it directly addresses the real problems that you have now. It's not easy to give because it requires that you step into someone else's shoes. The last one suggesting seeking out emotional support is probably the closest to this, but it's also some of the most common pieces of advice published anywhere.
Why is it harder to win?
That's really complicated. The great thing about the "with" clause is that it Just Works. The easiest way to handle opens and closes is thus exception-safe.

What's wrong with indenting? You're entering a scope; indenting is appropriate.
I think the benefits of oxycontin for acute pain are highly contentious.

For advanced cancer pain, oxycontin is effective and the rates of addiction are very low. Patients can't wait to get off it usually if the pain improves. There are likely to be many physiological and psychological factors explaining these differences.
I'm lean and I eat a lot of sugar. Sugar is not a toxin. It's a source of energy. I'll eat some sugar and go to the gym. I'll come back and eat more sugar to replace the glycogen I drained.

Makes sense.

But then they are depriving themselves of liquidity provided by these professional gamblers.
They might have to increase the odds even more so that an average joe will bet on an unpopular team where as the professional bettor would have taken it at a lower price recognizing the statistical edge.

The aim of the bookie is to have a guaranteed profit on each and every game. Whereas the professional gambler tries to make a guaranteed profit over multiple games. Seems to me that they can benefit each other rather than be against each other.
