That depends on whether there are more vegan or non-vegan foods. It also depends on which kind of failure is better: accidentally eating something non-vegan, or unnecessarily restricting an already-restricted diet.

But in either case you're not going to cover every possibility.

Eg, a complete whitelist would include tomatillos, cactus fruit, dandelion greens... and also stuff like "monocalcium phosphate".

Whereas a complete blacklist would include bear jerky, locusts, pickled pig's feet, monkey brains, haggis...

Also, checking strings is failure prone. "chicken" doesn't match "chicken breast", "chicken thighs", "mechanically separated chicken", etc. That last one is mistakenly considered vegan in the README example. If you try to match "chicken" as a substring, you might exclude "mock chicken" (if that's a real ingredient).

To be thorough, this is going to have to be a VERY big list, white or black.
This is kind of cool. The really good thing is the idea of a blacklist though, but perhaps having a system to tag ingredients would be better - it could potentially help food allergics and stuff as well if we could tag "gluten" or "lacto-ovo" or whatever. Vegans are a small group compared to vegans and people who restrict their diet due to illness.
To be clear, this bug was found running Nix on macOS, not iOS (just in case someone else besides me interpreted the two comments here as such).

Additional fun fact - the issue in question was not found during new development, but by just running the same code that had worked on previous macOS versions just fine. So besides a vulnerability, it's an user-visible regression to behaviour described by POSIX APIs.
> Instead, why not transition from a labor based system of resource acquisition for the masses to an investor based system of resource acquisition for the masses?

Because that means the existing capitalist class has to be forcefully deprived of much of their capital so that it can be redistributed, and a system needs to be set up to prevent it being from be reconcentrated.

The existing capitalist class, which holds disproportionate power, largely opposes this for obvious reasons.

I’ll buy cynicism around the data collection aspects of these things but one only need to look to the desktop application marketplace to see the broader trend.

I can't put into words how excited I am for this launch today.

I remember back in 2012 where spacex was still a laughingstock. The idea of landing a rocket from a private company was a joke.

But SpaceX always did one thing right, they made many care about space again. They broadcast their launches, made a bit of a show of it, and they weren't ashamed of their failures.

Then they started breaking milestones. They increased their launch cadence in what felt like overnight. They were actually trying (and failing) to land rockets, but they were still broadcasting them! Then they landed the first one on land, then the first one on a barge, then they re-launched rockets (and re-landed them!). Now it's weird when a rocket is launched in "expendable mode"!

I wanted to start this comment saying this is the most excited I've been of any launch in a long time, but when I really thought about it, it's not. There have been half a dozen launches in the past few years from SpaceX that were just as exciting, and that's amazing.

I hope today's launch goes well, and I hope this is the start of the "new normal"!

Not sure how I feel about "portable" ratings. Sometimes people just need a fresh start and a chance to reinvent themsleves with a new gig in something totally new. If enough folks start carrying around their stars from one gig to another, employers are going to expect it.

Gig workers who find themselves in a rut of poor performance for one reason or another just aren't going to be able to escape the old judgements of their performance for much longer periods of time. It's oppressive.

No. For example, figs aren't vegan because the fig tree is fertilized by a wasp, which dies as part of the process.

I talked to a vegan while ago about whether he would eat figs. Wasps dig into certain types of figs to lay their eggs, and then die and get digested by the fig.

He told me that he'd just avoid eating them to avoid the question of morality.

So to answer your question from what a vegan told me: possibly.

How do do startups serve decorrelation of fund portfolio? Startups valuation has to have some degree of correlation to the industry they serve. By this I am supposing that if you have a healthcare startup, its valuation would be strongly related to the performance of the healthcare sector. So if you have say healthcare stocks in your funds' portfolio, would investing in a healthcare startup serve decorrelation ?

That's not a problem with Wordpress' engineering, infact it's a compliment. Many consulting companies work ONLY on wordpress because it is low technical. Seriously, all you need is an FTP client and any old web host and you're in business.

This is where centralization would come into play -- all sessions are recorded and publicly available. The situation you pose could occur, but could also be quickly identified, resulting in the banning of both Alice and Bob.

Such a deterrent would hopefully prevent people from attempting to game the system.

The point of recording and publishing the sessions, by the way, is to prevent repeated tutoring sessions surrounding the same question or content, ideally.
I did say that there were edge cases. Is encoding no regional information in local time better than encoding some that works pretty well in many common cases?
If the problem is important, then "ultra low cost" is not a requirement. If you build something that solves the problem, don't be afraid to charge meaningful money. 10 customers at $10,000 per month is better than 10,000 customers at $10 per month. Less support, fewer transaction fees, easier to talk to and get feedback...and a business model viable in a smaller market.

In general, customers who want to pay $0 tend not to be good for business.

Good luck.

>> “Cab” drivers didn’t have visible habits around their ratings, weren’t checking them frequently and when we spoke about them, they told us that this wasn’t something they’d considered before or something they were particularly concerned about. They were confident in their skills and ability to find work outside of their platforms, and viewed ratings more as performance indicators for their platform owners — the main fear being a drop below 3.5 stars, where they might be dropped from the platform completely.

This is a shorthand way of saying the drivers themselves aren't even checking their ratings, as long as they're above the performance threshold! This paragraph gives away who 'ratings portability' is really serving, and it is not the drivers.

The original idea of blockchain was at least partially to prevent a central entity from centralizing the value of bitcoin and capturing its value. What you're describing is the antithesis of what Satoshi intended.

Now, I'm well aware that technology isn't inherently ideological. So you could hypothetically come up with a way to hack it to make it do what you want to do. And a lot of people are trying to do this, i.e. the SegWit folks, but the way they're doing this is by breaking the fundamental decentralization of blockchain to make it more federated/centralized. It's a perversion of Satoshi's vision, but it's not unethical or technically invalid.

But the question I have is, why? A business is inherently about taking money from disparate sources and putting it in a central location: your business' bank account. You might be able to do this with blockchain, but it's working against the decentralized, untrusted model, not with it. A datomic-style log handles the ledger aspects of blockchain with a fraction of the technical complexity, and you don't need the untrusted aspects of blockchain if you're running a centralized business (ostensibly, you trust yourself). If you succeed in using blockchain to run a centralized business, it's despite the model, not because of it.

There's one exception, which is that the underregulated nature of the current blockchain industries and the hype around blockchain open up some opportunities (i.e. this is why the SegWit folks can make money off this). But that's more about checking the "blockchain" keyword off in your marketing/legal materials than about the actual benefits of the technology (i.e. ICOs--the only benefit blockchain actually gives is that it allows you to skirt financial regulation, which has nothing to do with the technical benefits of the technology). And as regulations are put in place and hype fades, a lot of these opportunities will dry up: most are temporary and the ones that aren't are extremely difficult technically.

Blockchain IS a revolution, but it's not a revolution that can be easily coopted by rent-seekers (and make no mistake, that is what you're proposing). The rent-seekers will eventually break it (they always do) but then it will be just another financial instrument, and unless you have an in-depth technical AND social understanding of the technology (like the SegWit folks) you're unlikely to be one of the rent-seekers who benefits from this. There are a lot of lower-hanging fruit out there to build a business on.
Do you mean Bitcoin or cryptocurrencies generally?

For the Bitcoin protocol itself, then I don't believe there are any trustless solutions. The protocol deliberately promotes pooling with no disincentive to growth.

As such, you have two options. One is fundamentally change the protocol to not incentivise large pools. This may be possible but it's not really Bitcoin at that point (unless you consider it just a brand in which case all bets are off).

The other option, and is essentially the current one, is to rely on the fact that the big mining pools are incentivised to not, publicly, screw up the block chain. Obviously, there's nothing trustless about this but, as long as the motives of the miners is overwhelmingly financial, this will probably work fine.
I did see the video, and I know the criticisms about the electrical system. I think that is a very real scenario that should be addressed. But not all crashes will cause fire and loss of power in this car. There have already been Model 3's that crashed, and the occupants were not hurt even after a head on collision with a utility pole that totaled the car. That was my point. It isn't a safety issue that the cars have panel gap issues and they look like beta versions. Saying that the car is built like a 90s Kia would imply that it is hazardous to drive the car and that it is unsafe at any speed. Its hyperbole. Its grandstanding, its not reality.

Im a fan of Tesla, I wish the best for them. They arent perfect, there is a ton of room for improvement, but it is largely cosmetic and not safety critical.
A stock market crash only leads to recession if the preceding bubble was financed with debt. Which, sadly, might be the case this time due to leveraged buyouts and buybacks. In 2008, the housing bubble was financed with easy credit. In 1929, the stocks were all bought on the margin. Then it's really painful to unwind the bubble. If that is the case this time around, we'll know when all those companies that bought their own shares back at inflated prices go bankrupt at the same time.

It says "true" for any ingredient it doesn't have in its list (I tried lamb, goats milk, and sausage – all are reported to be vegan).

It would make more sense to just release the JSON list of known non-vegan ingredients. People can use Array#filter and Array#some themselves.

EDIT: it says these are all vegan too: steak, bacon, ham, pheasant, venison, cheddar, mozzarella, ghee, lactic acid, sour cream.
> you may think that this is a fair world where engineering talent is rewarded, but the truth is that most companies are not run by engineers and decisions are made by people who don't care

Perhaps you should find a new place to work. There are engineering firms that value talent and capability. While it's still important to be aware of business needs and deadlines, that doesn't mean you can't have a solid engineering culture coupled to the business vision.

This sounds more like lectures and less like tutoring sessions. And I think a lot of people might be uncomfortable with having their tutoring sessions publicly viewable - what if I need help preparing for interviews, and my tutoring sessions make me look like I'm not a capable software developer? It would be kind of embarrassing if a potential employer could look up videos of me asking someone to explain big-O complexity of various sort algorithms, or of a potential math teacher who needs help remembering basic algebra.
If you're interested in ReasonML, you may also be interested in Elm http://elm-lang.org/.

Coming from JavaScript / React / Redux / Flow, ReasonML initially looked more familiar, but I still found Elm easier to pick up. Elm has a more unified feel. ReasonML read to me as an assemblage of components — each of them high quality, and expertly integrated, but it still felt like more different pieces all to learn at once. YMMV.

OTOH, you can't (currently) use Elm to write a native mobile app.
What is vegan and what is not vegan is going to differ depending on what each vegan believes. Diet is like being religion, you going to have different people drawing the line at different points.

> Activism has been a big problem for drug companies

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but isn't it kinda up to the shareholders?

If shareholders value something other than the "long term value" you speak of (I guess share price and dividends) then that's their prerogative surely? If I want to buy a controlling stake in a company but my idea of value is, say, sacrificing profit at the expense of employee perks and charitable efforts, then this is my "shareholder value" and isn't it then the responsibility of the company to provide that?

Likewise, if I buy shares in a company and then want that company fire all the highly paid people so profits go up to enable me to flip my shares for more money, that's my value and isn't it therefore up to the company to do that?

In summary, if the value of a company is measured by what the shareholders want, then it can't be a problem if the company does the thing that the shareholders want, even if that's destroying what you see as the "long term value" of the company.

It might not be what you want as a founder or CEO when you IPO, but those are the rules, those are the risks and you have to take them if you want to play the system?
