Doesn’t appear to be unique to nitrites and nitrates. “Processed meat includes hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, and some deli meats. It refers to meat that has been treated in some way to preserve or flavor it,” with processes including “salting, curing, fermenting, and smoking” [1].

>My knee jerk to the headline, "because they are taught to." More than just them, we teach each other that there has to be a reason.

More often than not, today, we teach each other that there can't possibly be a reason -- other than "taught to".
>“Plausible” does not mean “not literally impossible”. It means something is reasonably possible. Your scenario is not reasonably possible. It is exceedingly unlikely.

"Plausible" means it reasonably could happen, yes. It doesn't necessarily have to mean that it's expected to happen in the immediate term (unless that's the pre-existing context to the discussion).

I don't believe conditions are such that it will happen right now. But that doesn't put it into the realm of mere theory, the things that make you say "I mean, sure, that's possible" behind rolling eyes.

Given the correct political conditions, I would venture that these eventualities are not just plausible, but downright expected. Maybe not the black bag, but certainly monitoring, penalization, enforced re-education (which portends black bagging).

>You clearly don’t believe in the plausibility of these scenarios or you would not have three Echos in your house.

Most of us do a lot of things that we know we really shouldn't do out of convenience, habit, etc.

I don't think it's likely that I'd get picked up for anything that my kids end up telling my Echo, at least not at this juncture, which is why I still have them.

If my religious or political beliefs were more fringe, or if the ground continues to crumble such that they become fringe by virtue of the cliff of acceptable discourse growing ever-shorter, then I would certainly consider it unsafe to let the children have access to the Echo. We monitor it now, but it's in a place where they can talk to it if they want. Wouldn't be that way if I thought we had something to worry about.

It's true that the archived recordings could also be used against us, but I think that we're moderate enough that there'd be too many other more worrisome targets to pursue first. Of course, you never really know.

Should things get this way, I would probably still keep one of the listeners hooked up in some room that is rarely used for conversation and feed it information that the bosses would be happy about. Maybe I would say "Echo, please tell me about all of Jeff Bezos's accomplishments."

In a more realistic climate where Bezos doesn't cross over into overt dictatorship, it may be smart to do this alternately with various political figures, so that I can cherry-pick proof of early admiration for whichever political figure wins and implements the dystopian future. This would be much smarter than just unplugging the device and having the line go dead, especially if they correlate the date the feed went dead with a specific political event.
I, as the author, am also surprised there haven't been more nitrate-free versions of the same products appear on the market.

I realize it's a privileged position, but I'd gladly pay more for a salami/bacon that doesn't last as long to get rid of the carcinogen.
That’s what it says in the article.
Nothing new here, according to the World Health Organization:

- red meat is classified as probably carcinogenic to humans

- processed red meat is classified as carcinogenic to humans (" there is convincing evidence that the agent causes cancer")

Why not occasionally? I’m not going to stop eating bacon and ham. But I might stop keeping it regularly stocked at home.
Its not evenly distributed by field. I wouldn’t say men have “equality of opportunity” when it comes to say being kindergarten teachers.
"Senior engineer" is just a boilerplate pay grade description for someone who isn't straight out of undergrad school. Some of these people know what they're doing and some don't. Some of them want to do what really needs to be done, and some don't.
You basically have to behave as a parsing script with the media now. I find myself immediately scanning the article for links to sources and emphasized data points, especially if the headline is clearly exaggerated.
But as the top post indicates, in the US celery-derived chemicals earn the “nitrate-free” label but are chemically indistinguishable from the “real deal” (and thus have the same health concerns).
Just checked out standardebooks.org a bit. Seems like a great idea. Will check it out more and share it with others via my social media channels.

I think if you're Raw spatialy down-sampled you'll want RGB and not Bayer under-sampled so triple that. No SD is reasonably over 250MB/sec and they are all 64GB. Even at FHD 30Hz you'll only get 30sec of 8bit (not really Raw) video on your insane SD card.

No, but the Met did pay nearly half a million quid to avoid going into the question of whether an undercover policeman sleeping with his target constituted rape.
The nitrites and nitrates are essential to making bacon (and other cured meats) taste good. The article is clickbait; the risk of bowel cancer in the study was increased 18% - that is, from a low number to an 18% larger low number. This isn't a public health crisis, this is a perfectly rational individual choice.

Also, "uncured" bacon is a lie; one of the main ingredients is celery powder, which contains - you guessed it - naturally occurring nitrites.
That's a whole other thing with debt, everything is based on dharma and karma, so if it's your bad karma that you are infertile (for whatever past life reason) then it is the dharma of other people to help you and also for you to seek out other ways. Adoption could be one way the Garuda Purana enlists various alternatives for example for those without kids and who else can do their final rites etc
The hallmark of unfree societies is the the right and freedom of the individual. (So long as they are part of the chosen group.)
As far as I understand it shouldn’t cost more. It will just mean that the color is not pink, which consumers may need to be educated about. It may need to be aged more to attain a pink color, which granted could cost more.
The experiences or feelings of individuals are not what define equal opportunity. Are the entrance examinations (if any) the same for everyone? Are the tuition fees (if any) the same for both genders? Are the curriculum and facility access the same for everyone? If yes to all theses questions, equal opportunity is already implemented.
Which was mentioned in the article...

This article still assumes that the preferences themselves are inherent rather than the result of gender socialization.

Even where you see girls excel more at verbal and arts and boys at STEM, how much of that is due to what they were encouraged to be interested in and spend their time on when younger?

I don't remember exactly which study it was, but there's evidence that in some cultures (IIRC China?) girls do better than boys at math. That suggests there's a significant cultural/social element at play.
Curricula in Tunisia are taught in French (the native language being Arabic). Access to engineering schools is achieved through CPGE[0] which have an intensive workload. I am sure people who went through that will attest to how tedious it is.

I believe the OP is correct: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Frame-24-105mm-Standard-Zoom-Cam...

That is not a G Master lens. The G Master lenses are quite a bit more expensive. I don't believe Sony even makes a 24-105 G Master: https://www.sony.com/electronics/g-master-lenses

Either way, the quality of all Sony native E-mount lenses are amazing.
> Why not occasionally?

To be honest? Because I really like having a routine. It's something that in a lot of ways I can't have, but I'm exactly the type of person who would benefit a lot from one.

So if cooking breakfast the same way every morning is a way to gain a shred of routine in my life, then I'm all in.
The one line of code is

import ray.dataframe as pd

They've replaced many pandas functions with an identical API that runs actions in parallel on top of Ray, a task-parallel library:

https://github.com/ray-project/ray

Unlike Dask, Ray can communicate between processes without serializing and copying data. It uses a shared-memory object store within Apache Arrow:

http://arrow.apache.org/blog/2017/08/08/plasma-in-memory-obj...

Worker processes (scheduled by Ray's computation graph) simply map the required memory region into their address space.
I get sinus headaches from sodium nitrites (among other things). I was stoked about the nitrite free bacon. Had it, got a headache, found out about celery after a bunch of searching. I need to find a butcher so I can just get straight pork belly.
Many cameras shoot raw video - blackmagic, RED, kinefinity.

And even more (Sony FS, Panasonic EVA 1) with external recorders.

Almost all use SSD though for raw video - new SD cards have good enough speed but haven't been widely implemented - https://liliputing.com/2018/02/wd-demos-sd-card-880mb-s-spee...

And the data rates for raw video aren't that high btw - redcode is lossless at 3:1 and visually lossless up to 9:1. CinemaDNG is about 3:1 - 4:1 (vbr).

My blackmagic pocket shoots 1080p/30fps RAW on a 90MB/s SD card and the camera is the size of smallest mirrorless.

I think the real reason we haven't seen more consumer RAW video is there isn't enough demand - which is a shame.

While I personally love RAW video for grading I'm looking forward to seeing how much dynamic range gets stored in 10bit HVEC footage, which I think will become very popular (because of HDR displays)
You are correct, but don't forget the Bayer encoding that makes things smaller!

Even being a medical doctor means having a very good life, I wouldn't go for it in a million years.

I have a blog and a youtube channel that talks about raspberry pi, open source, embedded, and other programming projects that I do for fun in my spare time. I checked the youtube stats yesterday and my female audience was 0% (not rounded down, it was 0.0% according to Youtube) among about 10K people who watched them last week - globally. When I had google analytics on my site, it reported the same thing. Because my channel is new and no one knows whether I am a sexist person or not, so we can safely filter out the reputation problem. Also, I have a foreign name so people can't guess my gender by looking at my name. I think that anyone who watches my video has to be curious about what I do, not because they are used to me talking in a certain way.

Now my channel is a small sample, but I have a feeling that not many girls find tech (or at least what I do) fun and appealing the current way it is while many boys do. So it's just about an opportunity, money and job and whatnot as it is a hobby, a thing to have fun with that attracts certain demographic to a profession.
I know four women with CS degrees who all realized that they hated programming for a living less than two years into their careers. Two of them were done after their first internship, before they'd graduated and started looking for their first full-time job.

All four of them switched to design, and they're all Photoshop/Sketch experts now. They're extremely happy with their decisions. They stayed in tech, and still work/interact with the "culture" on a daily basis.

I wonder how many people just assume they were driven out when they find out that they did CS but didn't pursue a career in software development/engineering, when in reality they just didn't like it and wanted to do something else.
I'm a person who clears cookies on exit. With a password manager with autofill it's not much of a burden but it does ensure that people can't resurrect old sessions and can't access my accounts without my password DB unlocked.
Have you even read article? Customer was happy with smaller scope and it was agreed upon in advance! The original project got large also due to change requests and conflicting requerements, these got managed this time.

I did worked on complex projects and estimations, negotiation and communication about delays is more important there, not less. So is ability to work with people you don't like or consider lesser.

Given that the same team was able to produce smaller scope project, it is pretty sure they were able to do at least some parts of original project.

The rest frankly reads like fanfiction. As heroic as decision to spend nights in work and do it alone was, it was not rational decision.
They already exist in parts of the world like Saudi Arabia, no? (Can't read the article because I don't pay to view their site..)

So if its just a routine, wouldn't you be better off enforcing a good routine instead of a bad one? Eating bacon and eggs every morning just because its a routine sounds like a terrible idea. There are more time, health, and money efficient morning rituals...
It's ok, other powers at work here. The lady who I likely would be married to had I wanted children was into permaculture, so I take the unlikely turn of conversation as a little dig from Him.

> Tell me more about that.

Groaning at discussing personal stuff on HN, but here goes: I don't enjoy life or find it rewarding. I'd likely have killed myself a long time ago but don't because my life is not my own (bought with a price and so on). So how could I possibly want to create more people?

I have many philosophical arguments against creating children as well, such as violating the agency of the unborn by forcing them into existence, or considering the generations of suffering and death (and damnation of some?) caused by creating children, who will have more children, ad infinitum.

But none of that matters because God has a plan and it'll all make sense someday (after I die). So I (im?)patiently await that day.

Do you think that the average earth ecosystem is better or worse off with modern human civilization?
It's a very interesting technique; I will definitely be keeping an eye out for appropriate use cases.
First is the pressure from my partner(she is very much into having children), then the family and then there is the fact that most of my friends have kinds or at least are looking to have kids. When I meet old friends I find that most of them married and have kids too...you are told now it's the time to have kinds and later you will regret it. You won't be able to have kinds anymore(due biological issues) or you will be more like an grandpa than a father to them. I can understand their arguments but I have no desire to have children(yet).
See, I can't argue with that.
Your claim doesn't pass my smell test because every individual will have a unique experience. You may have wanted to add the term "on average", but I understand that's a problematic expression presently.
Except there’s plenty of evidence for the former, and close to none for the latter. STEM is a field that has embraced diversity and equality of outcomes, with a genuine sense of desperation. STEM and especially technology companies are completely dominated by liberal and feminist thought. Sure you can point to a couple of ‘bad apples’, but you can point to far more examples where those ideologies drive organisations decision making from the top down. Not only is the culture argument weak to begin with (any competitive environment is going to be hostile on some level, to everybody), but it’s entirely laughable to say this applies in STEM, an industry that has embraced ‘diversity’ above all else.
The article seems to say that meat that uses nitrates and nitrites is worse than other "processed meat" in general. It's like the worst kind of processed meat.
As do a lot of butchers. People just need to actually search out and not just pickup whatever prepackaged meat they see.
Research with caution. (Guidelines/laws maybe?)
Sure, maybe it probably doesn't need to be but Article 29 guidance is clear that as a matter of good practice, you should look to document the balancing test you have undertaken to determine legitimate interests is appropriate.

Yes, quite right on the contract side. At the lowest level, a contract could be implied, or would arise from terms of use on a site. Absolutely, processing under the service provision ground should be limited solely to that which is necessary to provide a service.

I guess if you wanted to take things further I suppose on the authentication front, you could argue that authentication/login may not strictly be necessary to provide certain of the services as they could be provided in the absence of a login (creation of a to-do list for example). However my view would be you take things on a broad basis so that if a good proportion of the services required authentication (buying content on the basis of a to-do list) then you could put all service provision under service provision pursuant to a contract rather than splitting between legitimate interests and service provision grounds.
It sort of does via channels, though. Sending a value to a bufferless channel causes the next goroutine to run (eventually). This looks a bit like a goto if you squint.

Go needs multiple stacks and a way to switch to executing a different stack. Web assembly could provide this in a high-level way.
Elon also joked about hubcaps falling off, when flying cars won’t have hubcaps
The author fails to meaningfully contextualise the risk, giving what I think is a completely misleading account.

According to the best available evidence, eating 50g per day of processed meat increases the relative risk of developing colorectal cancer by 18%. Given the prevalence and prognosis of colorectal cancer, this equates to about one premature death per 200 people as a result of eating processed meat.

Is processed meat somewhat bad for your health? Almost certainly. Is your daily bacon sandwich worth a 0.5% chance of a premature death? That's entirely your decision. I'm a vegetarian for ethical reasons, but that level of risk wouldn't faze me in the least if I really liked bacon. Factors like obesity, inactivity, smoking and alcohol use dwarf the risks posed by processed meat.

Constant fretting over small risks posed by our diet may be distracting us from clear messaging on big risks. I've heard countless people say "everything gives you cancer, so why worry about it?" or "scientists can't make their mind up about what you're supposed to eat, so I just ignore them". It isn't news that smoking, being obese or drinking too much alcohol are incredibly bad for your health, but it's a message that deserves repeating. I fear that those messages are being drowned out by a constant trickle of stories about "superfoods" and cancer risks.

The author of this article has previously made exactly this point in an article criticising the "clean eating" fad:

"When mainstream diets start to sicken people, it is unsurprising that many of us should seek other ways of eating to keep ourselves safe from harm. Our collective anxiety around diet was exacerbated by a general impression that mainstream scientific advice on diet – inflated by newspaper headlines – could not be trusted. First these so-called experts tell us to avoid fat, then sugar, and all the while people get less and less healthy. What will these “experts” say next, and why should we believe them?"

https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2017/aug/11/why-we-...
That was a fantastic long read! Wow.

A lot of intrigue in it, too, especially with the emergence of the MIT cohort, computer programmers, and electrical engineers.

Excellent decision on the part of the investigative reporter Jason Fagone to tell the story from the vantage of the Selbees.

The article is fun even as it smudges the Selbees (and other bulk ticket purchasers) with a dab of questionable ethics as is appropriate for a (minor-ish) vice such as lottery gambling.

Thanks for sharing.

EDIT: noun verb agreement
Even the article you linked says the new SD cards only do 430MB/s in testing - I'm afraid a full SSD is the only way to go for raw video.
Noise quickly becomes a non issue with altitude. But, yea you would probably notice someone next door taking off or landing.

IMO and his major point the issue/risk is falling cars. NYC for example does not have many safe places to crash, or just have a hubcap fall off. Aircraft tend to mostly hit empty fields and mountains because that's what most of the US is covered with. Still, plenty of people have died sitting at home as an aircraft failed and making that 10,000x as bad seems like a significant issue.

The React team seems that they put a lot of forethought into keeping the API and core stable. I was super impressed at the core rewrite that integrated the fiber architecture. The console warnings are a nice nod to good developer ergonomics.
There are also plenty of counterexamples:

* Chris Lattner was already mentioned in this thread.

* Larry Wall (perl, patch, rn) was unfailingly kind.

* Yukihiro Matsumoto a.k.a. Matz (ruby) is so proverbially nice that people coined MINASWAN (Matz is nice and so we are nice).

And even at pretty high level of Linux, there are people like Alan Cox who do not, to my knowledge, manage by temper tantrum.
