Hay is alfalfa once it has been harvested. It is high in fiber, and cows are great at digesting fiber, but they also need sugars to convert into milk. Oats provide protein and fiber. Corn provides sugars and iirc, fiber(maybe protein? its getting late here). There has been quite a bit of research about optimum ratios. I could look for some if you are interested, I get most of my info from my dad's dead tree magazines.

And I hear you about ethanol production. I for one can't wait for our new renewable energy sources.

"Corn is a particularly water thirsty crop, which while delicious is over produced"

Sweet corn, which we eat; and field corn are different things. According to the washington post article I posted earlier, there isn't that much sweet corn produced.

"Calories per acre is important but for the Ogalalla Aquifer calories per gallon-water is more important"

Yeah, but people want food today... Desalination, and other water related technologies can't come soon enough :(
I didn't think that was possible at least with Google accounts. But now that I think about it, if you set up both devices from the same QR code (instead of running through the process twice) it should work. Good idea.
Yea, I'm not familiar with Dynamic Programming, but it sounds different. I'm talking about garden variety optimization problems (minimize or maximize something).
Too bad a lot of business decisions are made on slack, or other such tools today. A bit late, goog.
And you can underpay them, which is a nontrivial part of my concern.

I don't trust client clocks (or x.509 not before checking) enough to use certs until they've aged at least a couple days; a week is best, if I can manage. 24 hour validity would shut out a lot of people with computers or phones that can't keep time (or choose not to)

Yes, this release of Amazon Aurora with PostgreSQL compatibility does support PostGIS extensions.
I agree. And they don't even show there was a decline in their initial experiment on which their entire chain of reasoning is based:

control group glucose before: 102+/-21, after 103+/-18
intervention glucose before: 107+/-21, after 101+/-18
(+/-SD)

Wide confidence intervals, and critically important to note, the pre-test intervention baseline of 107 is much higher than all the other numbers. They do not show that this is not by chance, i.e. null hypothesis of no difference is not rejected. They don't state a P-value (even though this is now out of vogue, the paper is ten years old), likely because it is greater than the mythical 0.05.

These numbers are laughable, so much so that I do not even think they are fabricated. They also quote two decimal places even though their SD is ~20! Every detail of this paper is amateurish.

I also have a problem with the ethics of this study. They recruited students and paid them in course credits. This strikes me as being coersive.

I'm sure I could find more gaping holes in their reasoning, statistics, but I hope I've already shot it down. I'm not a neuroscientist by any means, but I do digest a lot of scientific papers. My guess for a real cause of this effect would be neurotransmitter depletion in key neurons involved in self-discipline.
Good catch! Thanks for sharing. Looks like a long night ahead still haha!
Some classes were crazy powerful, and others weren’t. It was easy to get into a situation where one player would dominate the game. And not really on purpose. Now the classes are much more even. Everyone gets a chance to shine.

Eh, batteries on the iPhone are "user" replaceable (from personal experience, up to the iPhone 7). It's not the same as swapping a battery out of a plastic case like my old Nokia, but you certainly don't have to throw the whole phone away if the battery dies.

However, I think modern phones will suffer other issues before the battery dies.
Why not better educate people about the fact that some devices are easier to repair than others?. If they care about it, they will naturally buy stuff that's repair-friendly, even if it's a niche market.

I care about repairing my stuff, and avoid buying anything that is intentionally designed to being unrepairable. I've specifically not bought any Apple product because of that.
They understand perfectly. They are hoping for rich, well connected kids from rich families that can bring in money and power into the organization. They may have tried some "ordinary" people before and were befuddled when it did not bring in $100 million dollars and several political contacts.
(CEO TimescaleDB) We already allow for efficient manual deletion of old data[1] (2000x faster than PostgreSQL)[2] and rollups via standard PG aggregates. Automatic retention policies and downsampling are coming soon.

But as one of the commentors above points out, we benefit from the reliability (and broad ecosystem) of PostgreSQL, which has allowed various companies to easily deploy us in production with minimal integration efforts.

I think you may have missed that you could rent servers online for a long time. Dedicated or shared, full control and much cheaper than EC2.

As far as I know EC2 introduced auto scaling, load balancing and spinning up instances in such a lightweight way. Not a revolution but still nice and necessary steps.
I don't think it is language specific. He is in karate and I didn't see and difference.

The background noise seems to be key. He was doing great in karate and a new teacher started blasting music. He went from doing great to being unable to know he should put his right for forward when told to. That was one of the clues that something wasn't normal.
Sorry, you are associating aws and ec2 with the advent of non capex intensive web hosting or dedicated servers. Prior to ec2 there were plenty of cost effective hosting options beg rackspace, rackshack, softlayer, digitalnation, verio, theplanet, serverbeach, and many many others.

There was pretty cheap competitive web hosting available from 2000+, not just 2006 when ec2 was released.
My Surface Pro 4 no longer detects its own internal drive. Is the connection loose? Do I need to replace the drive? I don't know because I can't open it up easily.

This is weird for me because I've always been able to reliably do my own repairs, even on my previous MacBook Pro. To now realize that my Surface is worthless unless I'm still barely within the warranty period is unsettling.

"Affordable housing" implies that there is a job at the destination that can pay a wage that can pay the mortgage. Sure, $95k isn't a lot—but what do jobs in Topeka pay, and how many of them are there?

Or by working a job on the side. I think the "definition" is rather to not take outside capital.
I would give the framework developers some credit, they shipped and the field made a lot of progress on their tools. Getting good performance out of GPUs (CUDA or OpenCL) is quite difficult, cuDNN has historically been the only good low-level deep learning library, and NVIDIA makes great hardware. My company is building a fully open source low-level framework called PlaidML bringing OpenCL support and other benefits to the existing frameworks. We're starting with Keras, first code was posted last Friday: https://github.com/plaidml/plaidml
This is one of the earliest tricks of the paper. In the initial discussion they cite numerous authors on why low glucose, i.e. hypoglycemia, affects cognition. I have seen many hypoglycemic diabetics in bad trouble from this. However, the author then silently moves on to asserting that lower levels within the normal glucose range also have this effect, but without any supporting evidence.

In addition, the commonly stated myth that people "feel hypoglycemic" could be easily disproved in 99% of people if it was worth the time and effort to do so. The awareness of hunger, awareness of time since last meal, and the nocebo suggestion that such a thing as hypoglycemia in (most) normal people exists. It is a real thing with some medical problems, and a very few otherwise healthy people, but far overstated.

If we're into anecdotal levels of evidence, I eat once a day, and _feel_ the least energetic after eating, for 30-60 minutes.
This is an issue that kind of splits Libertarians. However there are a few fairly commonly accepted points:

1. This is a big issue because of DMCA requirements, and DMCA should not exist (that is enough to address the problem according to many Libertarians)

2. The government should not be getting in between transactions between two private entities (public corporations are considered private entities in this context, because they are not government controlled), unless there are externalities that warrant such intrusion.

It could well be argued that there are externalities in this (the waste created as a result of it is a great example), though I think that's a slightly different argument.

Here's a couple of brief but interesting discussions on reddit:

2. https://www.reddit.com/r/Libertarian/comments/36c857/thought...
Sure, me too, but what percentage of the population actually does this, let alone knows it is possible?
My understanding: the government themselves bought a large portion of the housing CDOs (i.e. people's mortgages) from the banks during the credit freeze, to both give the banks money, and give the CDOs a value to get them trading again.

If the government had not done that, and had instead just given the banks money, the banks would have had the breathing room to sell their CDOs off for pennies on the dollar, devaluing the mortgages and thus the properties themselves.
True, but the way they handled it was stellar.
I think that's a very reasonable way to put it.

For example,

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peano_axioms#Set-theoretic_mod...

does not depend on having any pre-existing set of 6 objects that you can point out by ostension. Instead, you can construct one, given the concepts of ∅, ∪, and {}!
Yup. Same here. Bought one of those "all-in-one VGA/DVI/USB/etc" dongles and have literally used it twice just because I was lazy and didn't want to unplug something else that was behind the desk.
Good question, I don't know. I could fail the verification if it doesn't match.
I haven't seen such bullshit for a long time. Lots of negative claims with no serious data backing up any of these claims looks totally bullshit and amateur.
At a minimum, I'd like to see something half the size of the r4.large. The current r4.large is definitely bigger than I'd want to use for an experiment with a few users.

I feel silly asking this, but https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/now-available-amazon-aurora... says "four regions" -- when I go to look at the Aurora price page (https://aws.amazon.com/rds/aurora/pricing/), it lists what looks like more than four.

Which is correct?

Agreed 100%. I've owned so many different computers over the years that I'm 100% willing to pay what most consider to be an "Apple tax" when, in my mind, I'm paying a little bit extra for an overall better product. You're totally right... it's just nicer.
The article says, "The [new instance class] db.r4.16xlarge will give you additional write performance." Does anyone know why this is the case? I thought one of the distinguishing characteristics of Aurora was that the read and write performance of its proprietary storage layer was independent of both the instance class of your database server and the size of your database.
I have always wanted to get into assembly programming ever since I was a kid, growing up on those magazines with “listings” that you could type in to play games (something that I hope gets rekindled in the current era, on devices like the iPad with Swift Playgrounds; kids getting simple new games by literally typing in their source code.)

Then the Commodore 64 came along with its more complex features, and it got more intimidating. Decades later, I dabbled in GameBoy Advance homebrew for a very short while, but my life still feels incomplete without having made a ZX Spectrum game in assembly. I hope to get around to it one of these days.
This is an interesting point. As others addressed the main issues, I would just add that dieting does not need to be continuous exercise of will power. It may just take will power in establishing an environment not surrounded by unhealthy food, e.g. when shopping.

I would not relate this point to serum glucose in any way, however.

If my experiment fails to show anything conclusive, I should be open to re-evaluating some of the things I rejected, but I refuse to do it out of zealous belief in my hypothesis.

You are arguing a straw man. The "experiments" in this case are showing ample evidence of biases, so as long as those biases exist the underlying hypothesis can by definition not be falsified.
And now assume that your app is competing with another app and has an issue of Android users frustrated about the low scores.

So while you are figuring out heads down in a profiler why your Android users could be more challenged, your competitor simply hardcodes the +500 to the score and makes a big PR announcement how they restored the justice to the previously discriminated users.

Guess who's getting more sales next quarter. Unfortunately that's how politics works.
> While enjoying a nice free meal in Harvard Square, he has the opportunity to ask these successful engineers questions about their current work. If he likes the company, all he has to do is accept the company’s standing invitation to interview on campus the next morning.

Is that really what happens at Harvard?

AirDrop is fantastic, I wish every platform had it.
The worst thing about Gmail on Android for me is that it doesn't deliver mails reliably. Sometimes when I open the web client on my computer I'm greeted by a list of unread emails, and almost immediately my phone fires of the notification for new mail, even though some of them can be several days old. This indicates that it's Google's servers that isn't sending the notification to my phone when mail arrives, but I consider them to be part of the same system and don't really care where the failure is.

Does anybody else have problems with mails not being delivered to their phones until hours or days after they've arrived in the inbox?
That linked article was too long to read properly sorry.

In the history of American democracy, if you take the mainstream political position (Overton Window, if you care) at time T1, and place it on the map at a later time T2, T1 is always way to the right, near the fringe or outside it. So, for instance, if you take the average segregationist voter of 1963 and let him vote in the 2008 election, he will be way out on the wacky right wing. Cthulhu has passed him by.

Clearly 2009 and 2017 are pretty different worlds.

We don't execute, but we can blacklist and exclude. (Consider what might happen if he wanted to present a paper at a conference.)

This is precisely my point. There is no we - there are multiple groups, and while some may exclude others will welcome him.

As a specific - real world - example I'd note the rapturous reception any anti-climate change paper gets, and how authors get invited to present at anti-climate change conferences.

Yes, they maybe excluded and blacklisted from orthodox scientific conferences, but they have an entire separate world open to them. That's very different to being suppressed.
A lot of the issues people have seem to relate to two things: licensing as opposed to ownership, and IP law. Some licensing schemes may just count as ownership under common law, so would be unenforceable. The really awful ones only exist because of a lack of competition, most likely due to patents and copyright, which I holistically oppose, along with copyright and most copyright law (some exceptions, like certain trademarks, exist because they are essentially fraud).
Using custom domain with a free mailbox
hello,

how one can use a custom domain (eg. domain.tld) with a free mailbox from free email providers such as gmail,outlook,etc?

on gmail for eg. it does not seems so simple as going to Settings>Accounts and Import>Add another email address

because one have to enable
"less secure apps", is this dangerous?

there is other workaround such as changing DNS MX records of domain?

as for email alias, how do i setup one?

there is a better open secure clean email provider like gmail that one could use for free emailbox with a custom domain?

thanks.
Income inequality is exacerbated by low income housing programs. If wages in NYC are so low that people can't afford to live there, then those people should leave. If we must have a government program, then let's create one that helps people relocate to greener pastures. By decreasing labor supply, wages will rise until incomes and housing prices are in parity. Low income housing programs do the opposite, they artificially increase the labor pool of people who can accept lower wages which of course applies downward pressure on wages.

>mortgage interest deduction

I agree we should get rid of that.
Apple software has been buggy since they invented the freaking bomb icon.
As with most shortages the issues are related to supply and demand of (desirable) housing:

Supply side:

* Zoning restrictions. Many cities are slow to up-zone because their voters enjoy the high prices (nimbyism).

* Lack of, or insufficient infrastructure limiting size of desirable areas.

* Generally high crime rates in urban areas, due to underfunded police departments and public services, also limits size of desirable areas

* Poor education opportunities also contributes to the limited amount of desirable housing, leading to extremes in home values

Demand side:

* US is the worlds #1 tax haven. Foreign investors buy US real estate as a means of wealth storage and speculation, which increases demand.

* Mortgage interest tax deductions for homeowners are essentially a wealth transfer from taxpayers to banks and homeowners.

* Artificially low interest rates greatly increase the amount of capital chasing homes. For example a $2000/mo mortgage at 4% finances $420k, but at 6% only finances $333k. (People buying homes right now should think about the implications of this).

* Irrational societal obsession with homeownership.

* Historical trend of price appreciation has fostered a false impression of home ownership being a good investment, despite the great risks and expenses involved.

Following the ‘normal’ 3x wage, gets you an anticipated 32k needed yearly income.

For a double income family that’s right around the federal minimum wage.

Now minimum wage jobs don’t actually support a house of that price due to health care, child care, crap hours, etc. but the idea that there aren’t jobs that allow you to easily buy that house in Topeka is ridiculous. To the point where I want to say “leave California” to you.

We’ll sure, food coma is a thing. But at least my own anecdote is that sipping a sugary drink helps my focus and attention last longer. I haven’t done a formal double blind study but it is something I noticed after the fact—coffee doesn’t really work for me, but a sugary, milky coffe does. I found this by doing regression on a spreadsheet of my intake for a few months and self reported energy and focus levels.

It was after he fact that I found out this a commonly reported correlation. I wouldn’t be so quick to discount it as placebo.
