> Further the tendency is to eat one far more potatoes than fruit.

I have seen one study that concluded that boiled white potato was the most filling of all the foods tested. I don't recall whether bananas were included.

Equal-calorie portions of specific foods were given to volunteers, who were then allowed to consume until sated from a buffet. Those who ate boiled whole potato first ate fewer calories from the buffet than any other "appetizer". Noteworthy was the fact that french fries and baked potato--made from the same stuff--scored abysmally by this measure, almost the worst of all foods.

Boiling, chilling, and reheating your potato to plate temperate may even enhance this effect through the process of starch retrogradation.

Bananas are typically eaten uncooked. Potatoes are barely ever eaten raw. And it would also appear that the method of preparation has an effect.

It would certainly be possible to test the experiment result at home with a food diary, to see if adding one food in particular to your diet causes you to eat more or less in total than is usual for you.
The article plays a bit fast and loose with a well known reference and apparently chose it in part because a critical detail of the award winning work was keeping dick pics out of the food feed. Sausage works decently here as an analogy for grinding up the "meat" of content, adding some spice, cooking it and getting it to work as a cohesive whole when it is really a bunch of cobbled together parts.

I can relate to her description of automagically. When I had a corporate job, they introduced a means to fast track your file by submitting it online instead of by fax. They promised a faster turn around time for online files.

I worked on that team for a bit. The back-end experience, where real people scrambled to review the files and make this online submission magic happen, reminded me of the scene in Men in Black 2 where they open up an automatic mail sorting machine and inside is a guy with multiple arms sorting the mail at high speed.

It most certainly is a reimagining of history, everyone was using Winamp to play their mp3s when the iPod first came out in 2001. Winamp was the best, nothing came close to beating it. AOL paid $80 million for Winamp.

Meanwhile Apple had the monstrosity that was/is QuickTime.

The reason iPod was so popular was it's form factor/UI/UX/ease of use and the iTunes Music Store.

It also needed USB to become successful, FireWire held the iPod back from mainstream adoption.

I think there would be still quite a market for an up-to date incarnation of the iPod. Roughly in the size of the last iPod nano. There are times and activities where you can or don't want to use your iPhone and traditionally use an iPod. Especially if it came with a bit more storage and of course good Apple Music integration (e.g. be able to automatically sync your playlists to your iPod).

The Apple Watch might one day take that role, but for now it doesn't offer enough storage and its interaction is a bit more difficult due to the small size.

> That's why Toyota hasn't entirely fallen behind in the Plugin Hybrid Electric Vehicle, despite investing far too much in Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

No, the reason is that they also invested heavily in plug-in hybrids directly, even while working on Fuel Cells, having at one point announced a plan to make their whole line plug-in hybrids (but sales arc for their existing hybrid lines, including plug-in a, fell off what they expected when they made that announcement, so it fell by the wayside.)

> The PHEV for them is a side-game that benefits directly from a lot of the money they are throwing trying to make HFCV work

Hybrids (including plugins) are more like the Polaris while they work on Poseidon than a side-game. They have parallel short-term and long-term strategies.
If the point the author is trying to make is that Amazon and Google were made possible by the dotcom boom, and that the collapse of the dotcom bubble was part of the price we as a society had to pay to have the services provided these companies, that's a really really bad argument.

Well, the article actually refers to that argument as a "desperate rationalization," although rather than delving into refuting the analogy he focuses on his primary thesis which is that right now, the speculative bubble is preventing any real determination of whether the blockchain technology has (or does not have) any practical uses.

> All languages that tried to fight complexity either grew up to adopt complexity and stay relevant, or faded away.

> Programming languages don't get complex just for fun, their designers are tackling actual relevant issues.

Yes and yes.

> Go community doesn't seem to have learned much from the past.

Well... if you start with something simple, and complexity comes, you can still try to keep it as simple as possible. But if you started with something that was already complex (but complex in ways that your theory said it needed to be, not in the ways that the real world said it needed to be), and you try to fix that, you wind up with something really complicated. Ditto if you start off with complexity to handle all the use cases of the past.

Go started off simple, and is letting real-world use push them into becoming more complicated. That's a defensible approach, even today.
If you are referring to classroom teaching, this is simply a very minor and largely insignificant part of being a professor at an R1 school.

Most of the professors I know who are also good teachers are using those classes as the top of their recruiting funnel for one thing or another.

I don't think you can solve complex problems and guarantee the solutions are easy to understand. (You've hit the nail on the head.)

But you can absolutely solve many complex problems without straying outside of the set of simple arrangements or simple configurations of purely simple solutions. It may still be hard to understand. It was probably hard to write, too.

It should not be hard to refactor, if at all possible, when the scope of the problem has predictably changed later on.

Sure, there's plenty of markets that Apple exits that they could still make money on. But Apple has always been a company about focus. They just can't keep all those designers and engineers focused on a dying market segment. Better to refocus them on something new.

Are you taking into account the time savings of only needing to charge on a trip a few times a year (versus a weekly/bi-weekly gas station stop)? The majority of Americans have a 40 mile round trip commute. There are users who drive 250-300+ miles/day, but they are an edge case (EDIT: but will eventually be served as battery production scales up; note the estimated 600 mile range of the Tesla Roadster 2.0)

Tequila Zombie 2018 PC Mac Game Full Free Download Highly Compressed
I think recharge times and range "anxiety" are red herrings that are going to quickly change in perception.

The Bolt, Model 3, and Nissan Leaf 2.0 are all very well on the way to setting "cheap" high-range battery electric cars.

"Edge" charging (home, office park, grocery/mall shopping) is a game changer that isn't being marketed very well to the general public (and yes, has issues for non-homeowners in the short/immediate term, but that's a separate discussion) yet. On average, a car sits more than it is driven, and all that time is a charging opportunity. The electric distribution industry doesn't need to compete with the gas supply chain here: gas needs to compete with electricity.

Hydrogen Fuel Cells replace one terribly over-complicated supply chain for an even more terribly over-complicated supply chain, and again, it can't compete in the long term with the commodity electricity infrastructure already in place.

A 30-minute stop every ~250+ miles isn't a big bottleneck. Single trips of that length or more are almost entirely in the long tail of car trips, beyond the median, mean, and mode. American car culture is uniquely steeped in some macho idea of driving halfway across an entire continent just for a weekend getaway, and that's not going to be stymied by a few extra 30 minute breaks (and might be better for it, with a few more drivers a little less road hangry or exhausted).
Thanks for the book recommendation. Too bad the reviews of the electronic version are terrible (apparently terribly scanned/converted, not content issues).

With a very important caveat: it takes FOREVER to sync not-very-many songs with the watch. This isn't a problem if you're bringing your phone as well, but if you're going for run and don't want to or can't bring your phone, you either have to plan ahead or stick with the same ol' songs every single time you're out and about.

To be fair, I tend to stick with the same songs anyway, it makes it easy for me to always know how I'm doing with regards to my run, without having to look at the watch or wait for a mile / km update to come along, since I know when in the playlist I should be when reaching certain parts of my track. (Provided I run the same track, that is, but usually I do.)

Simplicity is about the cognitive overhead to understand code, the simpler it is the less effort it requires to reason about.

That doesn't mean you don't have to learn anything to understand it. Going the easy route usually means dumbing down things and while it can help reading in the moment it definitely doesn't help in the long run as the code evolve over time.

Forget the patterning and interference for a second.

The process isn’t a one off resist mask and etches you have a series of expose, etch and disposition passes over the material.

The actual feature size can be made much smaller because it can be the product of multiple exposures, etches and depositions.

So let’s say that the smallest feature size you have from a single mask is 200nm by using multiple masks and exposure you basically can build small features which are defined by the overlapping lit or shadow areas of the mask.

These features can also be ethched in a controlled manner to create even finer feature size.

To simplify it even further take make a shadow of an open palm with fingers fully extended so the gap between the fingers is the largest as you can make it and make an outline of the lit areas, now shift your hand slightly to the left or the right and make an outline of the shadowed area and subtract that from the previous outline it's now smaller without you having to change the size of your pattern or the wavelength of the light.

The problem there of course is you end up with a defacto ruling class made up of the most motivated workers, which will often end up being just as undemocratic with fewer means of non-political (in the office politics sense) intervention.

There were certainly HDD-Mp3 players around before the iPod (I used to own a Creative Nomad Jukebox and then the excellent Archos Jukebox which even allowed you to flash open source firmware on it).

I think the first Windows compatible iPod was the game changer. It had a large HDD but was much lighter and smaller than similar HDD-mp3 players at the time (such as the ones above).
