Hm. I had hoped that the caveats I explicitly mentioned would make this the opposite of “overly simplistic”. But, yes: all other things being equal, whales would have a lot more tumours than other, smaller organisms. Now, it should be maddeningly obvious that all other things are not equal.

In the end we’re not comparing whales to other species here, we’re comparing between humans.

> A lot of times when I find myself writing something where I'm unsure of the concrete type -- I'll just stick a bogus type ascription in the expression somewhere. Then I run `rustc` knowing full well that it will fail. Somewhere in the error will be a message of the form "found <x> expected <y>" and now I know what the inferred type is.

I've found myself doing this a lot in order to find the type of an expression. I stick it in a variable, add an `variable.asdf();` somewhere and look for the error message "no method asdf() on type <x>".

The study suggests plant proteins attenuated that effect. Plant proteins tend to also be accompanied by fiber, while animal protein sources do not contain fiber. In other words, aside from plant protein powder supplements (which still contain some fiber) or tofu, I cannot think of any source of plant proteins that are not accompanied by fiber.

I wonder if that contributes to lower cancer risk, especially colorectal.

Dropbox shares surge in biggest tech debut since Snap
The grievances you and the article's author mention seem less to do with Rust itself, and more to do with this seemingly horrible futures library. As far as I can tell, it's still in the rust-lang-nursery, which is an indication it's not ready for prime time yet.
Week days I average 6 hours a night. Wake up 6:20am, generally I fall asleep at midnight to 12:40am.

However, I commute an hour by bus, so I get a bit more sleep there and back usually. But definitely not REM sleep, so I'm not sure what that counts for.

Weekends I average about 9 hours at night. I'll go to sleep at the same time generally, but I sleep in til 9:00.
I'd say more like 10-15 days (2-3 weeks).

That's said, I will point out that most people posting on this site are in desirable enough roles that US work culture is a choice, not a requirement, even when you're living in the US. It just seems to be a choice that most don't consider.

I could easily find a position which makes 25% salary than my current position. Instead I took one where I never work more than 40hrs, where I have essentially 7 weeks PTO starting and it'll go up if I stay here long-term.

My quality of life is fantastic and I still make more than enough for a very nice lifestyle (and proper retirement/long-term goal savings).

I'm sure I could live even more luxuriously or retire a couple years sooner if I made even more money, but I don't think that would be remotely worth what I get by not going that route. Not to mention the people who just die or develop debilitating ailments before they ever really get to enjoy that retirement.

Michigan has a 10 cent bottle/can deposit and it's very common for homeless people to go through trash looking for bottles and cans.

Sadly, I can't agree with you.

While occasionally boycotts have encouraged changes, it typically only happens when other companies get involved.

Consumers "voting with their wallet" very seldom accomplishes much, except giving people a sense of having "done something".

That said, if companies and advertisers start publicly pulling support (like we see here, and the Mozilla story), it can start to raise internal flags, and (occasionally) lead to change.

While I get somewhat nervous about bureaucrats that don't understand technology writing overly broad laws, I do have to agree that legislation is often the most effective driver of change.

I happened to be on vacation in Quebec when Law 1 (or was it 101?) went into effect. I remember the education minister threatening English-speaking schools with $x/child/day fines for sending to children from any but Anglophone homes.
To be honest, #3 is a very broad generalization. It wasn't Silicon Valley that gave it up, it was Reddit, Google, Twitter, and FB. The problem is, public perception of "tech" is largely driven by those three companies as they are all handling the largest collections of social media.

The truth is, the powerful have come to realize "free speech" being protected was only a safe position for them when people were unable to organize en mass without serious sacrifices. Now that they have, they feel a need to make it stop.

It is the same reason they killed Unions and tried to kill Protesting. Both are threats to those in power. Online organizational ability is another threat and they are testing the waters on punishing people there as well. They can't stop it, just reduce it.
Why do they do this? The reason we can't restrict the publicity being offered to mass shooters in the US is due to the first amendment. Those other countries don't have such restrictions. Why are they being complicit in creating copycats?
I don't have data. It would likely take a while get the data from the "experiment" that showed that the availability of a suppressor increased the probability of a gun's being used in the commission of a crime.

The point is that given the availability of effective ear protection, there is no legitimate argument for civilian use of suppressors. There is no plausible argument that their existence would decrease the risk of a gun's being used illegally, and there are great reasons to believe that in some instances it would increase this risk, and/or make it more difficult to catch those who have done so.

Long range flamethrowers are illegal, but could be said to have a "legitimate use" for clearing brush. When there is no good argument for a thing to exist, and there are good safety-based arguments for it to not exist, then in the name of safety we should not have said thing.
Yes, but there is video proof that the human in control of the car was on her phone.
From what I read, it really was no slacking. For instance, all sewing was done by hand - that includes stuff to put on bed and cover your self with. That is huge amount of time consuming work. If you had daughter you had to prepare things she will need after marriage - so even if you are fixed, you are preparing things for that. Anything from wood is done by hand too.

And insulation is not nearly as good as today, so you need to sleep more for the cold.
Really good points.

My MSc advisor wrote a big book on multi-objective evolutionary optimization.

http://www.springer.com/gp/book/9780387332543

He liked to have his students compare random search to evolutionary algorithms. There tended to not be a huge difference. I think that's why they are not so widely used when there is any kind of better method around. Probably in most cases you'd want to just understand the domain better.

Hence, I don't believe EAs are the next big thing.
This, in an nutshell.

FB is yet another (large) marketing/engagement channel. Do you get more/better customers from FB? Perhaps/perhaps not.
> they fail to distinguish between terminal/differentiated cells and tissue stem cells

I don’t distinguish them because what I’ve said is true both for differentiated and stem cells. I’m not saying that there are no relevant differences between these cells, obviously.

> they imply there is a one-to-one correspondence between the relevant cell divisions and number of total cells at any one time

Uh, where did I imply that? That would obviously be false but, again, it’s not relevant to the argument I’m making.

> The relevant number is divisions since the fertilized egg for each stem cell lineage.

The relevant number for what? I was talking about the total number/size of cells at a given time, not the number of cell divisions, which is an entirely different (but also relevant) facet of tumourigenesis.
That's probably true.

My question is, does making that distinction benefit or damage information about networks/markets?
This is key; Facebook is incredibly important for a small business.

I started a firearms business, and being unable to use Facebook had a huge effect on how I was able to grow my business - making the same decision for political reasons is simply not an option for many small businesses who are just barely getting by.

Oh, my apologies then for assuming the intent of your question.

My current phone is somewhat open-source (cyanogenmod), though I think Google's version of "open-source, but you totally need to rely on our stuff to get basic functionality" is fairly bullshit.

I can compile my own OS and additional software

I can put tools on my phone that severely limit it's contact with Google's servers, although I suspect that there is an underlying system that ignores those tools.

As for my computers, I use Linux. I typically run them on Thinkpads, but I've tried a few other systems as well. My next computer will be a Purism or System76 laptop.

All in all, I'm not happy with any phone that I've seen. I can't think of any that I believe has taken legitimate action to show that they care about my privacy.

As far as computer OS's, I think Linux has strongly taken action to ensure my privacy.

DACA is the executive policy while the DREAM Act is the bill that Congress has yet to handle. Congress hasn't dealt with it because the Republican party was using it as a bargaining chip in the budget negotiations -- their voters see other issues as more important than DACA/DREAM while the Democrats want it passed.

The Trump administration made it a pressing matter in the negotiations by rescinding DACA in September 2017, but over the following months various District Court cases were filed and the judges ordered the government to continue the DACA policy. The administration tried to appeal those findings directly in the Supreme Court -- bypassing the appeals courts -- but it was unanimously rejected, effectively upholding the lower courts' rulings for now.

Since DACA is no longer under existential threat the Democrats have backed off of the DREAM Act in order to get other priorities through, and the Republicans are happy to let sleeping dogs lie.
That’s me in the bottom right in the striped shirt! Congratulations Drew, I am in awe.

I first met Drew at MIT, and first saw Dropbox when he was showing off what he was hacking on on his Windows laptop in a coffee shop in Cambridge at the start of the summer. My user id is 88, haha. The batch was tiny by today’s standards (what was it, 20 companies? less?). YC invested $5k plus $5k per founder, for food and rent and servers for three months, in exchange for 2-10% of your company. You could have office hours with Paul every week if you wanted. At the end of the summer, a bunch of us moved out west and lived in Crystal Tower in SF. When Drew raised $1m from Sequoia, I was shocked! YC founders at the beginning of the summer were generally two guys with an idea (if that), so raising VC out of the gate was rare. AppJet was another favorite of the batch, and we raised $90k from several angels to keep going. YC had already had its first acquisitions, like Zenter (presentation software acquired by Google).

In those days, the entire YC community was smaller than one batch today.

It is amazing to me to see start-ups I remember from back then still going, and even become household names. AirBnB (2008). Weebly (2006) is even older than Dropbox.

Way to change the world, PG and Jessica. And of course Drew and Arash!
And therein lies the issue. Everyone does just that, causing needless clashes. If you're writing a library, you can either switch back to the standard type names in your external header file, or you include the typedefs/macros there as well. The former choice ruins some of the point of having these types, and might even mask cross-platform issues. The latter runs the risk of clashing with the user's owns typedefs, or with another library writer's typedefs. (And god help you if exactly one library writer chose to do it via macros.)
You just illustrated the main issue here. People's names are public, true. Those people using to have a relationship with the op, both the fact that there was a relationship at some point and that there is no relationship atm, is NOT public info. That's not OPs information to give away.

This is the problem I have with the #deletefacebook thing, deleting facebook and even facebook disappearing all together is not going to make the world more secure, as most people seem to believe. There are many more companies that have data about you, for example did you ever wondered how many websites you use are using jquery from code.jquery.org cdn?

The info shared by OP might not affect any of the parties involved. So does most of the crap facebook "leaked". But what if that info is affecting somebody?

You might be pointing out that laws could be enacted to prevent this from happening. It's a fact that laws cannot keep up with technology.

The solution is to educate yourself about how online works, about what data means and then educate the persons around you about this.

Sure - but my reading of the article wasn't that it was so much objecting to the announcement but to the follow-up statement that Nightly users are implicitly opting in to a different privacy profile. That's the sort of statement I would easily see myself making to my team's private mailing list, and getting edited significantly before it goes into a public FAQ. I would expect that someone launching a similar experiment at Chrome/Edge/Safari/etc. would make a similar announcement, and then respond to internal feedback internally.
I think the OP above is being practical as opposed to cynical. TBH, most of the demographic that followed him on FB also have insta and twitter. Most of the people i know in my age group (college age - 24) don't even use FB anymore. Theres a little joke that as soon as your parents start to use the platform its time to jump ship. On top of that, its created articles like this - which has led to even more publicity. I also wasn't aware that any of these FB pages existed but i follow them all on insta and twitter.

IMO, this blog post is needlessly alarmist and even misleading.

On the pre-release FF downloads page [1] it says, "Firefox Nightly automatically sends feedback to Mozilla." Not sure how the author of this post got the impression that Nightly _doesn't_ collect user metrics and analytics, but this is its explicit purpose.

If the author really cares about privacy, he should just use the main Firefox release or, even better, something like Waterfox or PaleMoon.

But please - don't slam Mozilla for creating dedicated analytics and tracking release channels and then using those channels for, you know, analytics and tracking.

Thanks for elaborating. Where do you get your software? Do you compile it all yourself? Have you audited the code? Which servers do you connect to using your devices? Which services do you use? Do you run the tools you mention that limit network access to specific servers?

The problem is that you need to show them how to transfer the video to their computer, how to create a torrent for it, and how to send out the magnet or torrent link/file. I would never be able to get any of my grandparents to follow and remember any of those steps, let alone teach them why they need to leave their computer on for me to access it. The entire process is painful. I can teach them to upload to Facebook or YouTube easily. Torrents, not so much.

Most of my life I did the typical not getting enough sleep and then binging on the weekend, which doesn't work well at all. Since reading "Why We Sleep"[0] though, I've changed my lifestyle to prioritize getting quality sleep every single night. That book was pretty eye-opening in obliterating a lot of myths I believed about sleep and then teaching my how complex and important it is, indeed it is just as important as waking time if not more. The idea that time spent asleep is "wasted time" is now absurd to me, as so many bad things happen when you short sleep.

Since getting quality sleep regularly it's been like unlocking a superpower: retaining more information, better progress with strength training and skill-based hobbies, more solid emotional balance and way more motivation / inspiration at work.

Can't recommend that book enough.

Do you even know what you are talking about? Here, let me give you an example to open up your mind.

Imagine, you are a kids jacket retailer and have a Shopify store. Yes, these exists and are popular. How do you get users to your store? Yes, you use Facebook. Do you know how you Facebook here? You create a group with VIP members and offer them an exclusive discount over new jackets. This builds loyalty and provides word of mouth marketing. Next you create a page and try to post different images/videos of kids in your exclusive jackets and build followers who will like/share your post and thus get you free organic distribution. Next, you use fb ads and target your specific demographics (say women 25-40 yrs old who are interested in kids) to get users in.

This is a real thing. One of my best friends has a multimillion dollar business a yr on kids jackets and all she uses for marketing is facebook and she swears by it.
