The main point here is that observational studies are much less reliable than mechanistic studies involving direct feeding & measurement. The genetic variability of baseline cholesterol levels is so high that it can drown out the effect of diet in cross-sectional observational studies. Meta-analyses of observational studies are the easiest kind of nutrition study to skew in the direction of the conclusions you want.

What's worse, "studies" like these are used as excuse for people to adopt diets very high in saturated fat and animal protein which are not only disastrous for the environment and animal welfare, but have also been shown to be the absolutely worst diets in terms of overall mortality risk:

> Literally hundreds of metabolic ward studies (the gold standard in nutrition) have demonstrated a direct, causal relationship between saturated fat intake and blood cholesterol levels.

Yes, saturated fat can raise cholesterol (in some people).

> And the correlation between high cholesterol levels and CVD has been known for decades.

Correlation is not enough!

By the same logic:

Building fire stations (eating saturated fat) leads to more firefighters (cholesterol). Firefighters are highly correlated with burning buildings (CVD). So firefighters cause CVD? The body is way to complex for such a simple statement.

There are also literally hundreds of studies that show the opposite.
>And talking like Amazon/Google/Microsoft only have talents for web programming is short sighted and simply not sure.

Well, I am saying that they do obviously spend an ennormous effort trying to do so. To better formulate what I said, the fact that they did acquire some hardware/semi expertise in house, does not mean that this expertise drives them as a company.

If tomorrow 2 engineers, one from semi side, and one fromwebdev, will knock at the door of CEO with "I found a way to do things A and B 250 times better, but you have to scrap half of your business plan," a webdev will be heard, and semi guys not.

Btw, the chip Amazon showed, was from a company they acquired solely for that - to not to pay an arm and a leg for high end switching chips.

And about OEM servers - it is surprising that big dotcoms are late comers to the party, and were relying on off the shelf brand hardware to the very last moment.

Big hosting providers from outside of dotcom ecosystems were relying on direct OEM orders and custom built DCs for more than a decade. I do remember selling Atom based single board computers stuffed into U1s and Intel core 2 duo systems with soldered on memory and cpus to budget web hosting guys back when I worked as a trainee in a trade company back in 2007-2009.

I have an iPhone 6S - I'd say OS updates do slow the phone down, but they also tend to be really buggy and generally rubbish for a while. I think it's probably more bad engineering and software quality than anything nefarious.
Why would they not be transitive in this case? The mechanisms are well understood.

All the "blue zone" diets are low in animal protein and saturated fat:

Eat mostly plants, especially beans. And eat meat rarely, in small portions of 3 to 4 ounces. Blue Zoners eat portions this size just five times a month, on average.
> The companies can make him go away simply by complying with the GPL, no?

That's not clear. If you copy someone's work and don't have a license to use it then you've violated the copyright holder's rights. Just because you come into compliance with a license to copy the work doesn't absolve the violating party of the original liability.

Additionally, there is some disagreement specifically around the GPLv2 and license re-instatement; specifically, it's not clear that license re-instatement is possible in the face of unwilling copyright holders.
Another sign of the flimsy evidence is the mention that some customers used gangsta email address. Please, them and every 12 y/o I know.

This has entrapment written all over it. It's impossible for a service provider to ascertain if his customer is really breaking the law from his email handle or from such conversations. He might simply be making an analogy or reductio ad absurdum. What now, I'm supposed to say, "no, my security product can't resist an attack from law enforcement" although all crypto and math experts say it should? It's like coercing a gun dealer to say his product can't possibly kill cops in any circumstance.

The prosecution will have to prove beyond reasonable doubt that the providers were privy to the nature of their customer's business and conspired with them to hide illegal activities from law enforcement.
There are also literally hundreds of studies that show the opposite.

Can you cite some? Actual feeding experiments and not self-reported diets?
I didn't look at the file but I find that perfectly comprehensible. I can see read & write pointers in a buffer, n as bytes copied. Not sure if p is source or dest w/out looking but my guess is dest?

Maybe it's a cultural thing - lots of C code looks like this from Lion's UNIX book onwards. I still find this style easier on the eyes when it's clear from context what is going on.

For i/o code this is about as obscure as using "i" for a loop index.
Nothing after the ‘and so’, or anything remotely like it or construable from it, is present in the post you’re replying to.
I might be wrong but I always thought this requires some pretty high level of operational discipline, because its detectable and highly suspicious when you switch the IMEI while the phone is switched on and the same card is in the phone. You have to turn off the phone, remove the sim, turn on the phone and switch the IMEI, turn it off again and put another SIM in, and then turn it on again. Otherwise the Telecom provider will register the anomaly and might even inform the authorities or kick off the phone from the network.

Again, please correct me if I'm wrong.

I strongly doubt that an AppKit replacement would fix the sandbox issues.

Also, to be fair, I think that quality of the sandbox has improved significantly over the years. The remaining issues are in general pretty rare (my apps have thousands of users, and I only get a handful of support requests about these issues per year).

The problem is that when these issues pop up, there is nothing I can do to debug them -- aside from asking users "have you tried rebooting your computer?" (which does fix the issues occasionally)

Apple really needs to make better error reporting. When opening a security scoped bookmark fails, the system should return a proper error message, or at least log the reason for the failure.

And they must absolutely fix their error messages. When the sandbox denies access to a file, AppKit shouldn't suggest changing permissions in the Finder -- that won't help a thing.

People who say "you should do it differently" but without specifying exactly how are just engaging in a mild form of victim-blaming. Or instructing left-handed people to write with their right hand.

I acquired the "overhand" left-handed style at a very early age, which needs a piece of blotting paper under the hand to not smudge everything. This at least is somewhat natural to write with since it's mirrored in the plane of the nib and it's possible to read the word you're currently writing.
If you mix a high carbs intake with a high (saturated) fat intake, you cholesterol will rise, and you probably will develop a coronary disease.

The thing in those studies, and many others, is how they handle the carbs intake. I would like very much to read about metabolic ward studies in the following terms

Baseline Macros and Overall Isocaloric Intake
Baseline blood levels (Cholesterol, Insuline, Lipid curve, triglycerides, etc)
Baseline BMI or any measure that could gave information of the subject energy reservoir.

Macros and Overall Isocaloric Intake during study and duration

Resulting blood levels after study and BMI.

IRC can be any client you want. Not much IRC, but the ability to leverage the hundreds of good IRC clients to use one in your workflow that fits your needs exactly.

The Electron client is a glorified browser and webpage with none of the benefits of a native app, but with all downsides that entails, including using gigabytes of memory for simple chat.

It's a damn chat client that needs to listen to and submit events, and order them into channels. That is it, it shouldn't use much, or feel slow at all.

And then there is the CLI issue. If you want developers to promote your product, then make it good for them. Many developers want to use live in the commandline.

> I’m not even sure if the New York Times could afford to bribe someone writing for the New York Times.

It’s not a bribe when you employer gives you a bonus to write specific content they demand.

You could suspect that he was just under pressure from his management, however in that case I would doubt he would fold to the pressure as being able to write an article titled “I got fired from the New York Times for failing to ditch twitter and plugging their paper” would be a journalistic gold pot. And a great lawsuit.
I don’t think that’s a valid argument. The vast majority of guns, ‘tactical’ or not, sold in the US are never used to kill anybody and are used for hobby purposes only. It’s one thing to knowingly sell tools to criminals for criminal purposes, and quite another to sell tools, some of which you know may fall into the hands of criminals.

There are plenty of compelling, imperative moral arguments I could make for meaningful gun control, but this isn’t really one of them and if anything it waters down the case.
Probably most of it is rock, and the tunnel is probably sounded by concrete.

Regardless, I have no doubt the Swedes did an analysis and weighted the pros and cons.
Right. Yet we're told there are few retained memories from this time. Maybe what they meant is each of us retain only one or two.. but all of us retain some.

>publishing code that is tied to your own personal hardware is not that much a problem, I think

Code tied to your own hardware can lead to reverse engineering and creating other software to be used with said hardware. This is a good thing (for the user) though.
Thx thats perfect
Super cool! I'm excited to see more FP and determinism in the generative art world. A while back I started trying out deterministic animations, ie (seed, t) -> (shape) rather than (oldshape) -> (shape). It requires a bit more brain-twisting to get started, but it has some really nice properties. Not just repeatability across runs, but frame skips, speed changes, rewinding, looping and composability all get much easier.
Python, Go or Haskell?
I'm in the interesting position of setting up a team from scratch: hiring the first software developers in a well-funded company. There is a team of data scientists who have been creating models in Python (which end up as docker images). I have no legacy code of any importance for all the surrounding code (UI, data fetching, data storage, etc.) that I need to support or maintain.

The guidance I'm getting from the CEO is that he wants to build a cutting-edge, next-generation company. There's budget to hire 10-20 tech staff.

I'm comfortable enough in all three languages (and others besides).

I don't want this to turn into a flamewar: the main criteria I care about are:

1. Long-term supportability

2. Bugginess of typical code generated in the language.

3. Availability of developers

What are your thoughts?
There's a quote from Blaise Pascal that captures my feelings on small changes fairly well:

"I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter."

Small changes mean front-loading a lot of the thought into breaking down the problem. Large stories/changesets is often a sign of a vague requirement or design up-front where the developer mostly figures out how to solve the problem while writing the code. It's not really the size that's the problem, it's the uncertainty. But the size is much easier to observe and use as a forcing function for increased planning (i.e. large stories need to be broken into smaller stories before a developer can start work.)

When you talk about the best developers being the ones that push small changes, what I believe you're really saying is that the best developers are the ones that are able to be given a large problem and break it down into its constituent parts most easily and the ones that have the discipline to do that in planning rather than while coding. Which, to me, is a lot less controversial statement.
Absolutely. In no way was my comment saying that the market sentiment is somehow an accurate measure of the underlying quality or even utility of such a product. If anything, I think there are much better projects out there already.

But in a way, being a market leader gives a lot of adoption and a big ecosystem of tools produced by other developers - which in this space means a lot, because a blockchain's usability increases with adoption, even somewhat exponentially.
Not necessarily, see my other comment. If the Telecom company cooperates, they could even look for phones in the network that switch the IMEI and scrutinize these phones particularly, because there is almost certainly something dubious about them.

Unless people turn off the phone and remove the SIM before switching it should generate highly suspicious network traffic.
Often the solution is a stalemate until a profitable opportunity arises. So, no surprises here.

Interesting to see that such a giant can really start shaking so badly by losing one of its sources of profit. I think even if the whole desktop market dies Intel will still make more money than most companies. Sure, maybe they need to shrink 80%, but 20% is far from a small company.
What about the aesthetics and ecosystem of the bedrock? Are we suddenly caring more about living things than inanimate objects?

The reality is that corporations always exist under a tension between an inclination to forbid everything, for fear it will cost the company money or reputation, and a need to allow everything so that people can get their jobs done or are willing to work there.

The Internet is nothing special in this respect, large companies struggle to make policies that cover all the bases without strangling themselves and they will err on both sides of the line, sometimes learning from their mistakes and sometimes not so much.

Ratings of Labs in Artificial Intelligence for Drug Discovery
intel is just fine. spectre and meltdown were blown way out of proportion. almost every CPU to date has had similar vectors to exploit them or worse. if intelligence agencies don't know this they have shitty assurance and should get better. most agencies for high integrety systems wont have been using intel/amd as there are cpus out there (ibm for example) which offer much better assurance with regards to memory integrity etc.

that being said, government is a tiny market compared to businesses (cloud providers etc. etc.) so really if they all switch to ibm or so intel still wouldn't be in trouble. it would be a tiny bump in the road.

I think this is a misinterpretation. If you are the market leader and have huge profits you can enter such a market at any time. It just costs more and more the stabler the market becomes, which in turn of course also decreases the risks and costs of development. The art is finding the sweet spot to enter, and beating the competition that's already in the market and tries to keep you out.
At least for that purpose (can't argue with the aesthetics of a fountain pen), there is a large selection of "post-ballpoint" pens that keeps the ink flowing with no effort.

Ideally you'd get him to open up and speak to a therapist or doctor. But getting there is the hard part...

- Let him know there you are there for him. "hey buddy, I'm your friend and if you ever need to talk I'm here."

- Actively listen to him and validate his feelings. Don't critize just let him be. Ask questions like "how does that make you feel?" Don't offer solutions.

- Is there anything he is interested in? Gaming, walking, making things, painting, animals etc. Use that as a carrot help draw him out. Even if he goes out by himself. Just doing things will help.

- Read up on the topic and find books that might help. I like The Chimp Paradox books :)
I think you're outlining one possible legal strategy of the defence.

Don't forget that someone can be arrested on a much weaker evidential and legal basis than being found guilty. Of course, the prosecutors interpret the law in their favour, just as the defence will do whenever possible.
