I think he pins it to future price instead of current price because of the time lag between the decision to mine for bitcoin and the time you actually get the coin. If you think bitcoin is going to crash by the time you start making a profit then even if it is worth a lot now you're not going to mine.

no, really, current thinking is that whole fruit is better than juice or smoothies because blending releases the sugar, which is otherwise somewhat bound to the fibre.

Of course, it's far easier to overconsume blended fruit, but there are studies showing an increased risk of t2 diabetes from drinking limited amounts of fruit juice, and over consumption isn't the whole story.

I very much wanted to believe this, but the study you linked to lists "Percent of national health expenditures for physician and clinical services: 19.8% (2015)".

What do you think accounts for the discrepancy between 3.12% and 19.8%?
Nice work! I love the layout. I'm curious if you have any plan to monetize in the future? - Or if there is a common way you could monetize a site like this?
Even given that Mir is independent, it sounds like people are continuing to work on it because they have already invested in working on it. I've yet to hear of any users.
Okay, now try typing on a smartphone keyboard that animates an enlarged bubble for every key the user taps.

The user thinks 'type, "hello"' and the muscle memory flits between 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o' with way less space between each letter than the user's reaction time. If they mistype a letter and want to correct it, they'll probably continue for one or two strokes and either navigate back or tap backspace several times.
> Doctors are part of a guild. They artificially limit the number of doctors available by capping the number of medical schools

>> They do not. You may be confusing the AMA (which less than 25% of doctors even belong to) with the AAMC.

Actually the AMA is the problem. They lobby to uphold the incredibly strict licensing requirements that doctors use to maintain the exclusivity of their job.

Doctor licensure requirements are stricter in America than most of Europe. For instance, why do doctors NEED to do a 4-year undergrad degree before medical school? Why do they NEED to go to a 2+ year residency after medical school? In Europe, students can go straight to medical school from high school.

Each additional licensure requirement to become a doctor decreases the supply of new doctors, increases the salary of current doctors, and increases the cost to consumers.

You can check the sources yourself too.

Although, I believe Lustig changed the narrative and is currently promoting diets rich in starch (which means high volume - low calories) and most of his studies produce a caloric deficit (while he denies it despite the fact that less calories are metabolized due to digestion of starch).

I believe he also likes referencing fructose extract consumption studies that have no direct mapping to a real diet. For example, consumping 100g of fructose through fruit won't do you any harm.

> It took almost 40 years to prove that smoking causes lung cancer.

Yep, and the Sugar Industry used the same tactics as Big Tobacco. They cleverly paid 'Researchers' to conclude that 'There's just not enough evidence, so more evidence is needed' and kept kicking the can down the road. They also did a media blitz campaign to discredit the real scientists who proved the tobacco links / sugar links to cancer.[1]

The article’s original title is clearer. The submission’s title had me believe a former Google employee created an AI that worshipped a religion.
Agreed, but the tools (nsp) are there to make it simple to know. Devs who are not going to update/patch are not the target here, so making big claims like this does not strongly add to the conversation IMO.

Also, this is nothing new on the web, the amount of wordpress sites with known voulns is probably MUCH higher.

Except Netflix has formally stated they don't care about Net Neutrality anymore. If they get throttled, they can tell their customers the ISP is doing it, and the ISP will face massive backlash. Netflix is now a big incumbent force that benefits from unequal service. Netflix DID support it in 2014, when they were smaller, not so much anymore.
No problem. I've certainly taken some ideas from GDAX dashboard, but from some other sites too!
> Just because more code has impact in the number bugs, doesn't mean more code by itself means more bugs. Correlation != causation.

So the only possible causations for the correlation we're discussing are:

1. more program code causes more bugs

2. more bugs causes more program code

3. some unknown third factor(s) simultaneously causes both more bugs and more program code

I think 1 and 3 are most often the case, where 3 could be something like developer inexperience, although some studies have shown that even experienced developers still introduce bugs at comparable rates to novices (just lower constant factors). I think 2 sometimes happens to address immediate needs, ie. hotfix for specific bug X may introduce more bugs, but I doubt it's the rule.

Regardless, my original claim still seems pretty undeniable, ie. more program code tends to yield more bugs.

> For a trivial example, 10.000 lines of "print 'hello world'" repeated won't have more bugs than a 1000 line complex C program.

But 10,000 lines of "print 'hello wrld'" would have more bugs than a 1,000 line complex C program. Probably on the order of 9,000 more bugs in fact.

The numbers we're talking about here are averages across all programs of comparable length, not to be applied literally to any specific program, because it turns out that those specific program qualities don't really matter, ie. LOC is still a more accurate predictor of bug count than cyclomatic complexity and other metrics.

Thus I can say that a 1,000 line program probably has about X bugs, and I probably won't be off by an order of magnitude unless the program was verified by a theorem prover or something along those lines. Something like verification is really the only confounder that I've come across.
I think project Titan was trying to build an actual car. Teams designing door handles and wing mirrors etc.

I think Apple are now focussed on trying to build the technology that would make a self driving car.

I think if they were successful in making the technology they would probably build their own car.

This is more like the effort on capacitive touch screens happening before the iPhone eg let’s develop a technology and see where it takes us.
This means nothing unless they mention what the vulnerabilities are. We do security scans on our front-end javascript code as well; most of the hits we get are for "log injection". Meaning, we have a console.log somewhere and someone could fake our logs by overriding the output. Wow, such vulnerability!
Correct. They would use more cryptic slurs which would be used in context and would be not easily differentiable from common words.

You can't just silence hate speech with censorship. More generally, you can't silence ideas. If you try, you normally end up in a worse situation.
At a previous contract I built a VM environment based on KVM. Some of the VMs were Windows, some Linux - a mix of Ubuntu and RHEL. It was a secure environment, where part of the job was malware analysis, so obviously part of this was nuking VMs and reinstalling them.

Anybody who has done this knows with Linux it's easy - RHEL/Centos and Kickstart files are the best, because they work. Next best is Ubuntu/Debian as Preseeds work but they're bloody awful. Once you've got one that works you're fine.

I had all the Windows 10 VMs with 'Professional' keys. Now, I imagine like you i'd suspect a 'Professional' key would imply this sort of lifecycle - rinse, reinstall. This worked for the first month.

But...

Part of the install was getting updates from WSUS, which itself is awful. Turns out halfway through our build Microsoft decided after these updates they'd change the rules. So, where I was providing the autounattend.xml (ks / preseed equivalent) this particular update decided my keys were not worthy. Professional wasn't good enough, when it was previously, so I now needed Enterprise. So none of my VM rebuilds would work without intervention. These are headless VMs. This cost us tens of thousands in engineering bucks.

If I started a company tomorrow i'd go nowhere near Microsoft. I'd not let one of my employees get near a place where they decided business logic needed to go into an Excel spreadsheet. They'd have a Chromebook and i'd pay the $6 a month for them to work without any of the extra crap Microsoft decide to do this month. Yes, Google can do the same, but i'll take the chances at $6 per month as opposed to the Windows, RDS and assorted other CALs that Microsoft decide to do tomorrow. I'd even go to O365 if I trusted them after this. Which I don't.

1. That’s the point: how much extra we seem to be paying vs other places (which have good healthcare).

2. You are wrong here. Click through to the source and you’ll find the number is for overall compensation, not just salary. E.g.:

For employed physicians,
patient-care compensation
includes salary, bonus, and
profit-sharing contributions.
For partners, this includes
earnings after taxes and
deductible business expenses
but before income tax.

I think you should be carful about making strong claims like that without checking the facts first.

For what it's worth I'm another person who's been using "Everything" for years and love it.
I'm toying with getting rid of the Internet at home. I have it at work anyway (unfortunately), and coffee shops and libraries are a thing if I have to get online. I'm increasingly convinced that having it's not worth the time I lose to it, and the cost of it. ~$110-120+/month for the Internet portion of my phone plan, plus our home connection, plus Netflix and such... that'd pay for a fair amount of physical media a month. Between purchasing, the library, and borrowing from friends, I could save both time and money and still have plenty of entertainment. Maybe download one of those curated local copies of Wikipedia. Update it once a year at a friend's house, haha.

Benefits: Tons, tons of time saved thanks to more friction to access low-value entertainment (HN, news generally, endless reading about how to do stuff or what to read instead of doing the stuff or the reading), and even too-easy access to practically stress-inducingly large amount of actually good entertainment. So, so much time. And some money saved.

Concerns: my wife needs it for work (teacher, and so much of that's online now, and you can't really be a teacher and not work evenings a fair amount)—that's the trickiest part. All our photos of the kids and such are digital now, and no Internet means no (convenient) offsite backup. I don't love the idea of having a bunch of physical media again, but then again I can just resell a bunch of it any time the clutter starts to annoy me, and be no worse off than when that money was going purely to services (slightly better actually, since even lazily Craigslisting a ton of it in a lot for $20 is at least some money). WhatsApp/Riot/et c. are a hell of a lot better than non-MMS text (mainly because group messaging is broken without MMS, and sometimes even with it) and offer really high value-to-waste ratio since I consider chatting with close friends valuable, even when it's not productive—I'd pay $10/m for a connection that just let me do email and use a decent messaging client like that. If I wanted to keep Steam games working I'd have to connect it from time to time, somehow, but that's probably another distraction I could do without.

Heh, I guess I could go back to dial up, if that's still a thing, so I'd have inconvenient access if I really had to have it, or to pop on to do messaging/email once an evening or so, though then I'd need a phone line and service, so a good chunk of the money-savings would be gone. Might be good enough to let the Google school stuff work for my wife without driving her nuts? And I'd need to buy a modem.
But won't you be relieved on some level that there is nothing else to be stolen? Now you can run an old crippled version of Android, start using "password" for every password and turn off your security cameras! The game is over and you lost, but at least the game is over!
> Robot-assisted_surgery

Is based on the premiss of a smaller incision and more precise tissue manipulations leading to better outcomes. Nothing to do with a camera ;)

> presence of cameras automatically makes medical care low-quality.

Of course not. My point is that it does adds ~ nothing to the quality of care, just like cooking thru a webcam should not be expected to result in tastier meals.

Doctor’s observations are a complex synthesis of information obtained through the five senses (and not only by seeing) and “gut feeling”. They can help narrow down the diagnosis, and predict forthcoming complications. This cannot be captured by a camera.

I’ll give you an example of the “holistic understating” kirse was probably alluding to.

A 80-yo guy is admitted at 9pm for COPD exacerbation, is treated with the usual drugs, gets better. Was very anxious and well awake on arrival. You come to check back on him at 2h AM, and he seems a bit slower, and uncharacteristically relaxed. You suspect he’s getting hypercapnic, order a blood gas, and discover that he is indeed. You proceed to treat him with a BiPAP, and save the day.

If you did not see the patient before, it is very easy to interpret his sleepiness and relaxed breathing as a totally normal state for a 80-yo guy. It is indeed very easy to think he’s got better. See, he’s finally sleeping, breathing calmly, everything’s fine.

Even a family member sitting by the guy side since his admission is likely to miss the subtle signs, precisely because his observation is continuous, and the change is slight and slow. Discrete episodes of reassessment by the same qualified person is key !
This is nit-picky but the world population is 7.5 billion these days so it's closer to 1/4 (27.6%) the world population than 1/3.

"Keep checking plurals readers tell headline writers" springs to mind as a response!

But, joking aside, Excel is the most amazingly useful and adaptable tool but it's incredible how many obvious improvements have been left out. Parts of it are stuck in the stone age. As others have mentioned, version control and information flow are hugely limited with it and there's a real feeling that it went backwards for things like charting (I suspect it's partly that other methods are now more intuitive). And why on earth don't they do something (anything) to make pressing F1 not be such an annoying experience...

this is my thinking. It probably won't work, but it smells like a cash sequestration maneuver.
Interesting, especially given the funding source. One of the parents described this potential conflict well:

> "We're not the constituency of the school," a parent of a former AltSchool student told Business Insider. "We were not the ones [Ventilla] had to be accountable to."

But I'm rooting for AltSchool. Educational institutions have a way of falling into orthodoxies of tradition and standardization that don't necessarily serve the interests of students — especially in a changing world. It's good to see a little bit of experimentation, so long as it follows the right incentive structure.

> Whenever I see one of these “parties purport to disagree on this issue, but neither is actually for it”

The parties don't purport to disagree on the issue; one party paints it as a point of disagreement, but even that is just using the term as a coded reference to a real disagreement on race policy, not a reference to a disagreement on the policy suggested by what the words otherwise seem to mean.

> I wonder if states rights is one of those issues.

“States rights” isn't, because it's not an actual issue, it's a slogan for an issue people don't like to directly describe.

Now, you could come up with a model of a coherent set of protected zones of state authority and try to organize a movement around them, but that's not an existing ideology that is getting lip service but no actual support, it would be a whole new issue.
Spectrum is the result of a merger that subsumed TWC, for what it's worth. Your HOA just needs to update its paperwork. I'm sure a judge would see things your way if someone actually pursued you for failing to use a company that doesn't exist anymore.

I’m a big fan of IPFS, but I’m disappointed to see it mentioned in this thread. It only serves to distract from the issue of net neutrality.

As great as IPFS is, it won’t help if the price for general-purpose internet skyrockets. Access to YouTube, Amazon, Facebook and Twitter will continue to have competitive prices, but the rates for out-of-band networking like IPFS and VPNs may skyrocket without the average consumer even noticing.

> “You’re still going to use Excel for the things you’re not using a tailored solution for,” he said.

I was shocked to hear about my old company still using Excel heavily for key business operations. I think those are the ones that should be replaced by bespoke software.

On the other hand what likely happens is you need a way to quickly perform some analytical task and your company doesn't have the process or speed to whip up some software quickly. After seeing how a lot of Fortune 500 companies work I'm not sure they ever will with compliance and other regulations in the way.

Excel is very accessible and will probably be the way businesses whip up analyses in the face of business fire-drills unless they have software engineers embedded in their teams or they get their current staff to learn how to code.
If people will buy your remake for who you are, I don't fee like that's an unfair advantage or a privilege. If anything it's a much bigger responsibility to make it right, since you risk ruining your reputation.
"a BTC stays a BTC forever, can not be stolen, does not degrade, can be stored easily"

You've very well illustrated the fundamental problem with Bitcoin: it's thought of as a technology, when really it's a financial instrument.

The 'storage' you've described is mechanical, technological - and has nothing to do with the concept of a financial store of value.

A good financial 'store of value' is somewhere you can park some money, and know that you can go back in 50 years (or some time frame) and it will still have value. Hopefully a little more.

BTC is extremely volatile, and because it's not backed by anything - it could go to 0 tomorrow. Probably not - but it could.

Think: will BTC be around in 100 years? Heck, in 10 years?

Maybe.

Will real-estate in London be worth at least something in 100 years? Almost assuredly.

Real-estate is generally a very good store of value though obviously it depends upon which regime that real-estate sits.

BTC is a very interesting thing, but it's not really a currency, and not really a store of value ... so then what is it?
Thanks!

I may in the future, but if I do it will not be charging for basic functions or inserting obstrusive advertising.

Capitalism simply means the government doesn't own the infrastructure and provide the service to use that infra. It is not free market in terms of it being a competitive market. It is a free market if you think "free" means unregulated (or less regulated).

But it's a shift of the goal post to consider free markets as unregulated ones. It was for a long time well understood that good regulation ensures competitive markets. Or when there can be no competition, to have highly regulated monopolies to in effect legislate the outcome that most people who are politically active want.
Thank you, I have been struggling my whole life with this mistake.
While I am a fan of the project, what's stopping your ISP from disabling or crippling all IPFS/P2P traffic?
This is great! I'm continuously nonplussed by deployment systems which require bootstrapping a master to bootstrap the system. Docker Swarm, Kubernetes, Rancher, Project FIFO, etc all require setting up hosts machines, designating some coordinator node(s), and then turning on the system.

Working a lot in IoT fields, or even with onsite deployments of services, this pattern becomes a blocker. It's more difficult than traditional "setup a server, turn it on, install software" approach, especially for small deployments. There's a lot of need (IMHO) for various orchestration systems which are self-boostrapping and fully P2P for smaller teams deploying on clouds, IoT devices in a given locale, research labs etc.

I've been watching your work for a while, and it's great you're moving toward usable systems! Is there a good place to watch your work and/or engage with the community? I'm starting work on some new IoT devices, and while this won't be directly applicable I'd like to play around with some of the core ideas.
