Foundem sounds like a spam site to me. By definition if I’m finding Foundem results in Google, then Foundem would not be the one who is solving my search, Google is. I actually think one of the issues with Google over the last decade has been a failure to clean up the results. Google used to be merciless in hammering spam sites into oblivion. I miss those days.
>The industry maliciously amplifies our innate tendency to find a "one-fits-all" solution. The bogeyman used to be fat, now it's sugar.

I would argue nutrition is a solved problem but certainly I will acknowledge that is controversial.

What is not controversial though is that Type 2 diabeties, which used to be called adult onset diabetes, wasn’t diagnosed in children 30 years ago and now over 1 million have it, and 100% of those cases are preventable through diet (many cases even reversible through diet and exercise).
The sentence "It’s not all skagheads in tenement blocks running up these debts" really shines a light on the author.

Pretty offensive, I thought.
How to Buy Litecoin Cash: The Essential Guide
Given Facebook's "move fast and break things" history, I cannot see this going well.
More than anything else, that paragraph is what kept me coming back when I first started learning to program and struggled mightily. I lugged that huge book around in my book bag for months, trying and failing to fully grok one of the earlier chapters, until I found a professor who was willing to help me with it. Ultimately we (the professor and I) were able to do a one semester independent study focusing on the material from SICP.

I used to read and re-read that paragraph. I read it aloud to my parents and to girlfriends, trying to find somebody to share my awe.
Of course, but we need all of these people to be educated about this. More scientific information is not bad, even if you think it's not important to you.
'geneticliteracy' arrogant cunts actually thing we are dumb - "You must be an illiterate! You don't agree and it can only be because you just don't understand the science!". Haha but fuck off.
Interesting. From the beginning something has seemed something really, really wrong about CRISPR. The amount of sloppy research, hype, etc has just been well beyond the norm.[1] There is definitely some kind of shady and amoral organization behind it.

[1] For example, in a few years you won't hear anything about the gene editing any longer since that was never going to work (it is too toxic by its very nature of causing DSBs). These other uses may or may not be OK, I haven't looked into it.
Market share of the most used C/C++ IDEs in 2018
Definitely. It's very nice to do large jobs in such a scalable manner. And interacting with databases is very straightforward. I'd also recommend Scala especially if using Spark. I've grown to like it as much if not more than python and you can use zeppelin/jupyter notebooks with is as well.
Correct. At the scale of the world and feeding it, there will be drawbacks to whatever solutions. I agree there needs to be oversight and proper regulations. But GMOs, to me, unfairly suffer compared to every other technology. Nobody was calling for bans on cell phones in the early 2000s because they might cause brain cancer (and are an environmental disaster). Silicon valley type tech seems to get the benefit of the doubt, while agriculture innovation is still fighting perception with already accepted truths (GMOs are safe)
No, a leasehold is basically the right to live in a defined space/flat/house on a given piece of land. It is essentially a very long rental agreement.

A freehold is where you own the house, the land, and the right to dwell in said land in perpetuity.

A leasehold however allows you to dwell in a flat(for example) for a defined time (99-125 years is popular) you agree to maintain the internal spaces (typically from the plaster inwards). You will pay a "ground rent" for the right to use the land that your flat is located on. In return the freeholder (the person/company) that owns the whole building and the land, is responsible for the maintenance and upkeep of the fabric of the building. They are allowed to issue a "service charge" to recover the reasonable costs of upkeep and repair.

Crucially you never own the "fabric" of the building, or the supporting land.
What is interesting is that they're not even trying to hide their involvement anymore. At some point in time these companies must have realized that it doesn't even matter whether or not their involvement is made public or not because the only thing that matters is the volume at which they are blaring out their messages.

Also interesting is the frequency witch which this site gets posted on HN.

Do people get careers as 'data scientists' without masters degrees? I'm heavily biases towards experts... but still would call it fair in the general case to call anyone doing data science without at least a masters degree or the equivalent mental toolkit more like a 'data quack'.
"Person With 72 Billion Dollars Wonders Why Nobody Else Has Any Money"
So, I started looking into this, just based on the very shady domain name of the place it was published.

The [original Italian study][0] that the article is promoting is probably worth paying attention to. It was published in Scientific Reports, Nature's open-access mega-journal. Their peer review is generally considered solid, though they do also offer a fast-track for a fee.

The Genetic Literacy Project, though, is a fully-industry-funded public relations mill, as discussed in [this Chicago Tribune article][1] In this thread, jacquesm provides a link to [a Mother Jones article about the industry connections of the sites' founder][2]. Another contributor to the site [had his emails with Monsanto execs FOIA'ed][3].

If we take HN seriously as a news site, it might have been more appropriate to link to the scientific paper than a PR site, especially given that the paper is not paywalled.

The song "sugar conspiracy theory" is one of my favorites on the arcade game "pump it up" because it taught me that I can eat pretty much anything I want if I play that game for a couple hours a day. I get a 75 calorie last year rainbow twist after I play that song. I've lost 40lbs in 3 months.

My point is, a sedentary lifestyle is the cause of most of our health problems and beyond that, various nutrition science will have a much larger effect. I'm on the zone diet, but I eat lots of nuts and fruit.
This violates a few laws.... Someones at that company is going to be in jail for this.

One year of cycling to work
Congrats on the decision to go this route!

In the recent past I read a lot about shortening work hours by asking employees to work free of distractions. Instead of killing 2 hrs / day on social media at the office you are restricted to do productive work. Anything else is dealt with later in your spare time. Let's say you need to make a dentist appointment - that's right, you call the dentist before or after work and also schedule the appointment for your off-hours. This way you separate work life from private life. And that's the way to make a 30hrs work week as productive as a 40hrs week.
My thought process if I've seen great product managers oversee several products full time. Usually there's some kind of connection between them. If any one of them said, "Can you pay me a third just to oversee one of them" their boss would easily say Yes. But it helps to have the track record first.

Similarly, if a company (or product line) only has 2 or 3 engineers, who already know the problem domain, product management doesn't have to be huge.

>We're living through an unprecedented global experiment, wherein central banks manipulate interest rates in order to encourage investment. The reasoning (as I understand it) is that if companies can borrow money with low interest rates, they're more likely to invest. By the looks of stock prices, this strategy appears to be working.

Investment actually seems to be quite low right now by most metrics, relative to the supply of capital seeking investment opportunities. See, e.g., [0] (2017)

Also, as I’m sure you might expect, the reason behind high stock valuations is more complex than this. Notably, stock represents a claim on future cash flows, and lower interest rates mean that the expected present value of those cash flows is higher when all else is equal. Highly recommended reading related to this: [1]

>>— Bad person masquerading as a legit lender could give a bag of cash to the seller at closing. Now the seller has a banking problem.

Not necessarily. If the price in cash makes up for the inflation losses you can easily pay for most things in cash. Or buy a money order when you can't. You can launder maybe as much as 60% of your income. Cash is spent and your legit salary goes to the bank.

Eating out? Cash

Vacation? Cash

Babysitter? Cash

Buy a used car? Cash (maybe even a new car...go to a like minded dealer)

Furniture? Cash

Home improvements? Cash

Clothes, jewelry? Cash

Obviously gotta do it in stages or else you stand out.
>"Increasingly, banks recognized the value of tellers enabled by information technology, not primarily as checkout clerks, but as salespersons, forging relationships with customers and introducing them to additional bank services like credit cards, loans, and investment products."

Hard to be optimistic when the "silver lining" is that people who were once employed to do necessary work have since been reassigned to trawl for opportunities to make easy money at the expense of the gullible and vulnerable.

Sadly this appears to be yet another theme in technological advancement--the proliferation of scams. Just look at how much social media advertising comes from multi-level marketing schemes.

Its a joint website amongst all the multinational players in the GMO space (Bayer, Dupont, Syngenta, Monsanto, BASF, etc.).

It may look like a biased source, its not too bad. Most of the opinions/articles are backed by peer reviewed research. I think the purpose of the site it to put faces/ human touch on people that work directly with this stuff. Not some faceless corporation

That argument is bullshit, frankly. Before the advent of CD-Burners and Napster, you found a way to buy a CD if you really wanted it. Everyone had their own copy of an album. A select few would make cassette tape copies, but you were never satisfied with that.

I've seen numerous people who could absolutely afford games, stealing them. Hacked Xbox's filled with every game imaginable. These people would have bought some of these if they couldn't steal them, without a doubt. Would they have just gave up video games? No way. So, it absolutely displaces sales.
Desirable jobs is also a moving target. I’d bet a lot of money that virtually every job is safer than in the 70’s, more are indoors, fewer are outside or demand physical labour. If you mean that the supply of desirable jobs has increased slower than demand, sure, I can buy that.

So you agree that the statistic is meaningless without context and yet you are OK with that being the lead in the report?
If you read the article, they were attempting to target a specific person they believed was cracking their software, not the pirates themselves.
You still have to buy the seeds; however, once you do they belong to you to plant, create your own stockpile, share with others, crossbreed or use selective methods to create a better strain for your specific environment/needs...

The threat of GMO is not in direct health effects, it's in corporate control of the food chain.
Too be fair, metaprogramming is just one additional rope. I've seen enough OOP-overabstraction in commercial CL code to waste a few lifetimes with maintenance. Worse, code written by people who understand AMOP and they made full use of it[1].

We don't need more big data studies to figure out what is causing poverty or how to fix it. Poverty in America is caused by:

- real wages decreasing since 1980

- the commoditizing of labor (e.g. janitorial companies, the "sharing economy")

- ever-decreasing investment in infrastructure

- tying wealth to real estate prices

- an educational system that leaves many young people mired in debt

- tying healthcare to employment and the price of healthcare in general. The first kills labor mobility. The second either bankrupts or kills you.

- mass incarceration destroying families and individuals

- regulatory capture allowing big businesses to beat down all the small ones

- a monoculture that tremendously decreases resiliency
I can recommend the book Shredded: Inside RBS: The Bank that Broke Britain - by its account RBS actually seems to be worse behaved after their bailout than before. Before the bailout they were just incompetent, since then they have been downright malevolent.

Lisp trades some of the strictness and static typing of Haskell and Scala, and the convenience of Python I guess; for more raw power. You won't really have a clue what macros are capable of before you see it yourself, I wholeheartedly recommend using Let Over Lambda (https://letoverlambda.com) as a guide. The other side of the coin is that you'll spend the rest of your days waiting for mainstream languages to catch up, but that's true of Haskell as well to some extent.
I meant as a solution to not breaking in the future. If you have a system with pinned versions that work, it will always work, regardless of the changes in new versions.

Better webmail and calendars exist (I use one of them), but because of Google's control of the entire market, two thirds of users are still on Gmail. That's the monopoly effect: Better products don't win out when one company controls the playing field.

No, the purpose is to be a PR vehicle to promote GMO.

Peer reviewed research can be cherry picked to promote one view or another. There was a time when 'peer reviewed research' was a badge of merit that would lead to general unquestioned acceptance. But when this was noticed and subsequently weaponized it became just another weapon in the arsenal of companies.

Exactly my thoughts. I don't understand what this kind of study would achieve. Inequality at a society-level is not caused by "individual behavior" which is the only thing the Facebook study will be able to research. It's caused by politics, in general, and it could be fixed through politics.

I don't think that by studying Facebook profiles, you'll be able to understand why politicians take corporate money and try to help only the rich to get richer, or other stuff like that.

I’ve seen this touched on elsewhere and I think the conclusion is that, though Nietzsche himself would never have countenanced these movements, nor his philosophy taken as total, that there are fragments of his writings that very much speak to this mindset.

At Cloudflare we use BPF in firewall extensively. We blogged about this in past:

We even have a piece of software called "floodgate" which is pretty much a custom runtime for iptables compiled down to BPF. It's using proprietary driver magic to offload the firewall rules engaged during large L3 attacks, and runs them with high performance in userspace. More:
