Phosphorus is one of the things you learn a lot about when in renal failure. Its something that the kidneys regulate in your body. And dialysis is not so good in removing it. Also it turns out most natural protein sources have phosphorus so it can build up in you. But the worst kind is the added phosphorus preservatives which takes the body no effort to absorb. And at this time, there is no requirements to disclose the amount on a nutritional label. SO a lot of it is guesswork.

Typically high phosphorus is treated using binder which are medicines that absorb the phosphorus before your body does. Most of them have ancillary side effects though the recent varieties are getting much better.

> Completely unmoderated is also not the right balance. I wouldn't want to be part of a completely unmoderated instance. Moderation is tricky.

I think you just summed up precisely what makes federated instances the best solution we currently have available. As your comment shows, there is no perfect balance for everyone--no matter what kind of moderation we put in place, there will always be that group who will be unhappy.

With federation, if you think you'll be unable or unwilling to follow an instance's code-of-conduct, you simply hop onto a different instance which better fits your personal expectations; or if you are very very particular, you just toss up your own instance et voilà, you're talking to those on the Mastodon network with your own ideal of a perfectly balanced system.
If money is your only metric, sure. There are also borderline criminal corporations that do great in the stock market while enslaving children and destroying the environment.

In the meantime, Apple managed to piss off most of their creative/developers user base, their software got so bad from a usability point of view that it's become a nightmare to use, their hardware barely gets upgraded and they need class actions to acknowledge that their idiotic inventions make computers unusable as computers (keyboard fiasco).

As for their most successful product (the iPhone): the notch, removing the headphone jack and removing the home button, and other design choices might be a matter of preference, but look very misguided to me--to the point that if anyone gave me any of their newer phones I wouldn't hesitate to sell it and buy a decent one from another brand.

What has Apple done in the last few years? A bigger iPad? A keyboard that stops working if dust gets under the keys? Removed a few ports people would use every day so that their products are a few millimeters thinner?

The only reason why Apple makes money is because it's a status symbol to have Apple products and they sell overpriced, inferior hardware components, not because their products are worth the money anymore.

I think people will wake up to that, sooner or later.

As far as I can tell California is right in the middle of 50 states in terms of property crime (a little below actually at 26th-27th) [1] so I’m not sure where this doom and gloom is coming from. Well, I did find a few laughable articles from mass media claiming that prop 47 had some impact, it itmdoesnt hold up when looking at demographics across the country and over a long time.

In 2016 it looks like property crime actually decreased.

The current state of nuclear reactors is largely thanks to one man , Admiral Hyman G. Rickover. A quite interesting character who through his work for building up a nuclear powered fleet had to build up the entire supply chain of suppliers from uranium mining, transportation through reactor development,construction , operation and maintenance. Tasks where he had to fight as much for through internal navy policy and the congress as he had to for the technical and scientific challenges.

I've heard that too and I have to remind people that there's nothing in the US constitution against implementing some far left checks on capitalism to keep the worker/employer relationship fair and equal.

I hear so many stories from the 90's and early 00's about how wonderful the corporate environments I now work in were great places to work with great benefits, happy workers, constant raises and opportunities for bonuses, some people even got a guaranteed $1 yearly raise. Now some grandfathered people that have been here that long are making $50-60/hr for a job they now pay $25/hr for. That environment is long gone and it seems things are only getting worse on a daily basis unless you're a Software Engineer and I don't doubt the hammer will come down on them soon as well.

Would not be competitive with carbon since it currently benefits from this. Yes, that should be changed, but if externalized costs is the price to pay to make nuclear competitive then I would be in favor of paying that price. CO2 has much higher tail risk than nuclear so willing to let the nuclear industry screw us taxpayers a bit if that's what it takes.

On the other hand, the further north you go, the more they already deal with this. DST or not, kids in Alaska go to school in the dark for a good part of winter. Somehow they survive.
They still leave much of the risk to the merchant. Turn on 3d secure, watch how the banks often don't even respond, and watch the conversions plummet as your hard won customers get caught in a whirling loop. Turn on all the fraud tools and watch how nobody ever checks-out again...
Part of the problem is that whenever a clear-cut rule of economics is found, investors take advantage of it, changing its behavior. It's almost a quantum-mechanics-like problem in that the observer (scientists) changes the behavior of thing being observed (investors and consumers).

But that assumes bias actually exists in the first place. This argument is eerily similar to the religious argument of "just believe [that god is real]". No, prove it first, then I'll believe. And inb4 "they fired more old old people so that's bias". Correlation does not equal causation. Show me the causation.

Learning to express yourself clearly, both in speaking and in writing.
Yeah I replied to the wrong post.
I don't think it's pedantic at all, as far as I'm concerned I find that light in the evening is a lot more important and useful than in the morning and clearly our life cycles do not match that at all. Where I am in the summer (with DST) we still have daylight past 9pm while in winter it's dark at 7. DST would need to be several hours more to roughly match that (and in my subjective opinion it does it the wrong way around, I want more daylight in the winter evenings). I say good riddance.
First off, amazing job - the UX design is outstanding. I've been wishing for something like this for music composition for the longest time, something that would combine the ease of use and live-collaboration aspects of Google Docs with custom workflows and object types as you have here. (Unfortunately, the presentation layer for the music domain requires implementing an entire DAW or notation interface on top, both of which are herculean efforts that I haven't tried to tackle yet!)

That said, I'll probably end up using this for lyrics! (When I used to write for musical theater in college, our writing workshop would basically use Google Docs, using screenplay formatting and typesetting in all caps for singing. This would have revolutionized the workflow there, even without music-specific features. Individual songs have "beats" and evolving themes just like anything else!)

On the tech side, did you use something like https://github.com/jahfer/othello for OT, or roll your own? And do you think in hindsight that CLJS was the right language/toolset for the job? I've always been interested in its ability to treat immutable data as a first-class citizen, but I haven't had a chance to do it yet.
People who seek to hurt others will find that others don't want to work with them. Indignance will not change that fact. You cannot force people to put up with you; freedom of association is just as fundamental.

Nobody is being run out of a project over the slightest misstep; the first response to most issues will be communication, not bans. Bans from a project are the last resort, not the first. People who work in projects with codes of conduct don't go around afraid they're going to be booted.

Beyond that: what work do you need to do that you can't possibly accomplish without hurting people? It's really not hard.

I fear, the more we advance, the more we are going to become permanently entrenched in The Way Things Are.

To really shake things up at a fundamental level will probably require running into an alien species that does basic things differently than us.

Even creative people with lots and lots of spare time and resources at their disposal will still be too "colored" by existing human knowledge and established practices to really try anything new (and without falling into the trap of needlessly reinventing the wheel.)
Fine, even fifty per year per person for an essential service is $4.16 per month which is two cups of small starbucks drip coffee ( + taxes ) per month per person.

Years ago I went to a talk on Neo-Riemannian theory

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Riemannian_theory is a bit lacking of a simple explanation, but the basic idea is that chord groups (e.g. Minor chords) are represented as a algebra (e.g. x, x+5, x+7)

and then the chords can all be mapped on a big torus (donut) to represent transposition, and each chord connects with 2 others that just so happen to correspond with 'complimentary' chords from traditional music theory. And there are also different ways to connect to other chord groups.

Beethoven's 9th Symphony famously traces 19 of the 24 possible chords of the torus, and remember that he was partially deaf so relied on vibrations.

More interesting that all this however is a new instrument called the 'Fluid Piano' which doesn't restrict itself to Western tuning (multiples of 440Hz etc.) Check it out
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7Cq3pbcMkI

Music from the country Georgia can't be represented using on traditional musical staves. I'd be fascinated to understand how so different musical cultures developed, particularly in relationship to how our brains might have evolved over the year to regard certain frequencies and melodies as delightful, eerie, etc.
> Should elementary schooldays be shortened by 25%?

Mine already did. Early dismissal at around 12:30 every friday. Thank goodness I have a stay-at-home mom for a wife, because I don't know how you're supposed to deal with that and also have a job.

Actually I do know- they offer paid daycare on fridays. It's still a little silly.
Only helpful while we're (nearly) all on the same celestial body.

What matters is whether someone is by convention asleep, working, or relaxing.

I expect we'll plug UTC into some software to determine exactly that. Or more directly, ping their calendar to see when they designate themselves available.
> DST is approximation to what exactly?

OP seemed to be suggesting a gradual shifting of clocks each day instead of a single leap around each inflection point.

> It's an artificial construct with a vague purpose, and nothing else

A 24hr day is an artificial construct. DST is mostly an energy saving measure, and some also enjoy more daylight after leaving work.

> Please do basic research before accusing others of pedantry.

I certainly know the basics of DST and the earth's orbit. Thank you very much. These are the type of threads that tend to spawn from OP's style of comment, and I regret my reply.
It looks like the link to the claim of shortening the work day is based on how schools for children aren't as long as the adult workday so I think your second question is already being applied right now.

Fair enough, I think I understand what you mean. FB, as an app, could be much better.
>Why can't we just center our days so that noon is always when the sun is highest and be done with it?

That's what abolishing the DST gets us closer to, and the answer is - nothing is stopping us. Arizona has it that way, and they're fine.

A longer answer: time zones are just an approximation to "sun is highest at noon" because it's awfully convenient to have clocks show the same time for people within a several hundred mile radius. The railroads made it pretty much a necessity, but even things like scheduled television programming would be very tedious with astronomical time: every city would end up with a slightly different schedule.

Think about it this way: the circumference of the Earth is about 25000 miles, and one revolution is 24 hours. That means that 1000 miles is roughly an hour difference, and 100 miles is about 5 minutes.

That means that, with astronomical time, if you have a 100-mile commute (sadly, not uncommon), you also have to account for the 5 minutes time difference between your home and work!

While this might not be the question you are asking, some threads on HN have considered the possibility of everyone being on astronomical time, since we can put a GPS chip in every clock (...heck, we pretty much do that already), and everyone gets their schedules from realtime systems.

But perhaps a more compelling alternative is just to give up and have everyone follow the same clock[1], extending the convenience of time zones (which are, after all, arbitrary and are an awful approximation for Solar time!) to the whole globe.

Apple created iAd as a way to allow developers to monitize free apps while respecting the end user's privacy many years ago. Privacy is hardly something Apple discovered recently.

iAd stood out because it didn't share customer data with advertisers as was the standard in the industry.

>Apple has a lot of knowledge regarding its users,but what it doesn’t do with that data is share it with advertisers very freely. That makes Madison Avenue very mad.

>rather than offering a cookie-based ad-tracking and targeting mechanism, it essentially requires partners to tell it what kind of audience it needs to reach, and then trust that Apple will handle the rest, AdAge says. And it’s well worth noting that Apple prioritizes customer privacy here over a big potential upside in ad revenue.

>what it doesn’t do is hand over the keys to all that data and let advertisers plug into it directly with their own data-mining and targeting software. That’s not standard for the ad industry and that’s likely the reason a few Madison Avenue feathers are ruffled over their approach.

Finally. Man I’ve had this feature on my jailbroken devices for over 4 years. And every update I would hope they would add this. Clicking around with the cursor was always so stupid because almost all quick cursor changes would be ~10 characters back, aka not a huge amount of movement.

Some keyboards have this feature like Nintype (which is over engineered imo), but I’ve always wanted this natively. Glad to see it coming.
Great, now you just need to convince every single clock in the United States to display 24-hour times, confiscate all the old clocks, and rewire the brains of ~300 million people to ignore the fact that it might be pitch dark at the same time that another location wants to discuss something important. Productivity would plummet among those people who aren't at all "night owls".

The resistance is cultural, and, let's just say people have strong opinions about these sorts of things. The fight against Celsius would be similarly difficult.

Good luck with that.
Yes it does -- IPFS will fetch from multiple peers at the same time. It's not terribly optimized yet for finding even more peers for content if it's already fetching from some, but it already does generally fetch from multiple at the same time.

Engineers have to sign off that things like bridges use sound engineering principles. We could require the same of software engineers, but it would jack up the price of software, being software engineers would require much more vetting before they sign because their license would be on the line.

I'm in the same boat with my circa-2010 Macbook Air. Its still supported as it has an i5, but its ancient by today's standards. Still holds a 3+ hour battery charge on its original cells though, boots in under 20 seconds on SSD (running 10.12 on it, haven't taken the High Sierra plunge), and everything on it works. I'd love to have more RAM and a retina display but tbh, it ain't broke so I'm not replacing it and when/if I do, it will likely be replaced with the 2016 version that just upgraded the RAM and I'll use it for another decade.

An untethered jailbreak is one that doesn’t required you to be connected to your computer. (http://osxdaily.com/2010/11/24/tethered-jailbreak-vs-untethe...). A tethered jailbreak requires you to be connected to a computer.

The difference is that an untethered jailbreak takes advantage of a security flaw in the OS that could be theoretically embedded into a website that you visit and your phone could be jail broken without your knowledge.

A tethered jailbreak means that you either intentionally took steps to bypass the security of the OS or someone who had access to your device did.
