Unfortunately, it seems to be a ubiquitous value.

Present Bush added* more to the national debt than every present before him.

President Obama added more the national debt than every president before him.

And President Trump will probably add more to the national debt than every present before him.

* At least in absolute terms. (No one has come close to beating Wilson or FDR for percentage increases: 8x and 10x respectively.)

Also, the President proposes a budget but Congress has the ultimate authority and responsibility.

How does the trackpad feel? The only thing I haven't found anyone else do better than Apple is the Mac's trackpads. They're absolutely smooth and a pleasure to work with.

I installed Unbuntu on a Lenovo and the trackpad felt horrible in comparison, even after tinkering endlessly with the settings.

I am. I know a bunch of them personally. They are definitely the some of the best security people I know. They just have a really hard problem to solve.

> As much as I like RSS, one of the repeated pain points is that I'd like to actually read the content in my Feed Reader, but on many of the sites I pull from, the feeds only contain the article title and maybe half of the introductory sentence before dropping a link to the full article, which I then have to click and open in my browser.

This is definitely annoying, but the nice thing about RSS (and ATOM) is that it's machine readable, so post-processors can follow the link (e.g. using wget) and insert the page content into the feed.

Here's a script I use to postprocess BBC news RSS feeds: https://github.com/Warbo/warbo-utilities/blob/master/raw/get...

(Looks complicated, but mostly deals with stipping side bars, navigation menus, etc. from the page, rendering the HTML to plain text, and also includes test cases; the RSS code is mostly copy/pasted from tutorials)
> browser-dependent

Language version dependent rather than browser dependent.

It may seem the same (after all, different browsers implement different versions of the language), but it's a bit different, if you say 'browser-dependent' it makes it sound like there is no standard when in fact, the leading zero behaviour hasn't been the case since ecmascript 5. You'll struggle to find a browser in common use that doesn't support at least ecmascript 5. It's as browser-dependent as the array.map function which was added at the same time.

Your example code would never have the leading 0 problem since you're using array.map and array.map didn't exist in the engines that had that leading 0 'feature'.
Cool idea, however I could not get it to work with Chrome on a laptop as a host (with the moving qr codes) and a S5 phone (join) also running Chrome pointing at the laptop (it could see the qr codes on the transparent video). It didn't connect.
Looks like a regular, boring law full of regular, boring regulations. I don't see any issues.

>The story of this law has been dominated largely by what isn't in it: no restrictions on what airlines can charge for baggage or change fees.

I'm glad. I don't like paying baggage fees (in fact, I've started to travel much more with only a carry-on partly to avoid the fees) but this is one of those things that the market should decide. It's an extra revenue stream for airlines (or an extra perk when waived for those with status). In general gives airlines more options and more flexibility in adjusting ticket prices.
* Specifically the US national government owes all this money.
Is there a service that can replace RawGit for Gists, specifically serving them with the correct MIME type? This was a convenient feature for users of https://reviewable.io to hack up a quick custom stylesheet or keyboard shortcuts override. It's not clear to me whether any of the suggested replacements support Gists.
Most airlines have been shrinking their seat widths to dimensions that are less than the average shoulder span of American men. I'm wondering if the requirement to set seat sizes might help there.

Also, the recent incidences of airlines bumping seated passengers in favor of their own staff makes me think the new rules are needed.

But 1200 pages! What else is in there? Did we just create a new bureaucracy-in-a-bureaucracy again?

No that is not my attitude. My attitude is that the only people who are experiencing issues are shopping way outside of normal channels. Nothing you buy at GNC will be tainted with steroids.

The study takes 150 random products and finds issues with 20% of them, I guarantee those 20% are not sold at GNC, VitaminShoppe etc.

I found I stopped hitting walls and levelled out my pace a lot once I started running while fasted. I was doing IF for about two years while running 20-30km once per week or so, and I liked it quite a bit. Eventually I moved in with my girlfriend and her and her son found it too weird that I didn't eat with them - I'd just hang out while they ate the food I made. That's the big barrier with IF. Everyone wants you to eat, so I stopped doing IF consistently.
Jim Cramer is also an idiot. To quote Jon Stewart "if you follow Jim Cramers advice you end up with a million dollars if you start with 100 million dollars"
The question is if using the internet is more valuable than having your data being tracked by third parties. You can hardly find a single website on the internet where there is absolutely zero tracking happening. You certainly can't use a smartphone without being tracked, hell you can't even go into most stores without being tracked to some degree (it might be different if you pay in cash).
> Often reality clashes with imagination

Often reality follows [somebody's] imagination - i mean you have those think tanks where people sit and imagine things, and the sponsoring agencies like CIA/Pentagon/NSA or their foreign equivalents take many of that and implement. Many people everywhere had the thought of full remote control of the computers - Intel implemented it as Intel ME feature of CPU because Intel controls CPU. China controls motherboards, so they did on the motherboards.

This one, mentioned in this context:

> This was a randomized crossover, isocaloric and eucaloric study. That is, all patients did both arms of the study eating the same foods and the same calories and then compared against themselves. The two arms of the study were eating between 8am and 8pm, and the eTRF strategy of eating between 8am and 2pm, but remember, both groups ate three meals per day of the same foods. Some would start with the conventional diet, then cross over to eTRF, and others did the opposite, separated by a seven-week washout period. Subjects were men with prediabetes.

> The benefits were huge. Mean insulin levels dropped significantly, and insulin resistance dropped as well. Insulin is a driver of obesity, so merely changing the meal timing and restricting the number of hours you ate, and also by moving to an earlier eating schedule, produced huge benefits even in the same person eating the same meals. That’s astounding. Even more remarkable was that even after the washout period of seven weeks, the eTRF group maintained lower insulin levels at baseline. The benefits were maintained even after stopping the time restriction. Blood pressure dropped as well.

Specifically this sentence:

> so merely changing the meal timing and restricting the number of hours you ate, and also by moving to an earlier eating schedule, produced huge benefits even in the same person eating the same meals

is incorrect, and is basically the lynchpin of the entire IF idea.

interesting - I just got a notification from Dropbox

"On Dec 14, 2018, we're saying goodbye to the events RSS feed. We think some of your team members may have used this feed.

We're focused on building better tools for viewing and monitoring activity, for admins and users alike. Here are some other ways you can see what's happening in Dropbox"

I don't see any relation, but could any factor have influenced the timing of these announcements? Or is it just a coincidence that two large co's drop RSS within hours of each other.

> The first historical description of the line only appeared in 1837, in Thomas Carlyle’s The French Revolution

I grew up in a country where probably nobody has ever seen that 1837 book, and almost everyone systematically refuses the very concept of a line.

Instead, people "optimize" their way towards their target, be it the door of a public transport bus or the physician's office.

Pretending not having seen you, they literally pass sideways, over and - if necessary - under you, if you happen to be on their way for more than a couple of seconds.

Try to affirm your rights, they'll push back with twice the physical and verbal strength. Any hope for the authority to mitigate this is an illusion, because those who are in charge of enforcing the rules are expression of that same culture, and transparently dismiss any stride towards predictability as a waste of time.

Note, that last link is to a crappy "unofficial" copy of the book that looks like it was printed from Notepad; every page has a header of "On War.txt". Do not buy it, it's practically unreadable.
The most obvious reason is that they don't work well from a copy & paste perspective. They also don't naturally fit in with the page's normal reflow / line-breaking logic, so they can look awkward and out of place depending. Your solution works to a point, but it complicates things.

Don't get me wrong... using images for equations is better than not having equations at all. But personally I consider that approach quite inferior to native MathML rendering.

Very large websites aside, the RSS offer on most of the web is pretty appaling. Standards are not followed or followed poorly. Things like publication dates that are actually the upload date and completely unrelated to the date the content went online, or images that are loaded by html embedded in the description field in nonstandard ways, or sometimes in the image field, or not at all... Or it's the wrong image, because the feed is provided automatically and doesn't have the intelligence to correctly parse the content...

That said, if Firefox hadn't hidden live bookmarks away several years ago they might see more use. The small subset of users who bothered to look for them and bring them back to the toolbar might even overlike the set of users who disable telemetry, too.
Not to mention those of us with deleted Facebook accounts. It looks like I’m not affected but to anyone who had an account during those dates and deleted it since, how do they find out?

Yet another reason they should email affected users, guess they care more about not publicizing bad information than taking responsibility.

That would indeed be great.

Also, if complex decision tree is your real objection, then consider putting a price range. "Depending on X, Y and other factors, the price ranges from A for minimal deployment low on Z, to B for large-scale solutions.". Or something like that.

Exact prices are always the best, but estimates for typical cases and a price range are second-best. It lets a potential user decide whether to even bother checking your service out.

Using International Students as Cash Cows Does No One Any Favours
My browser manufacturer has a STUN server? Where can I find that? (e.g., for Chrome or Firefox)

Edit: AFAICT, this isn't correct. Your browser has no notion of a "default" (or any other) STUN/TURN server. The JavaScript doing WebRTC has to specify one.

That said Google runs one, at stun.l.google.com:19302; but it isn't clear if that's something third-parties could or should make use of (or if Google even permits such activity), though it seems like plenty of examples (and perhaps even real-world uses) make use of it.
Which has zero bearing on the parent's point: supplements (which includes vitamins) aren't regulated making them less safe.

There's an incentive to adulterate these products with anything producing noticable positive short-term effects. There's no reason to believe vitamins are exceptional here - if you start taking a multivitamin that seems to improve your focus and energy slightly, you're more likely to continue buying that vitamin. A small addition of Amphetamine salts or even caffeine would do the trick.
Tree style tabs :/
My worry with everything that the market should decide is that the market is terrible about deciding in markets where the barrier to entry is so high. When every market participant starts charging a particular fee—one that is routinely hidden during the purchasing of a product or service, like baggage charges are—then there’s no realistic choice.

It’s just like binding arbitration clauses. In many industries, like mobile phone service, you can’t “choose” a market participant that doesn’t have such a clause because all of them do. When all, or virtually all (because every airline doesn’t serve every trip pair, even from a given airport), airlines charge bag fees, there’s no choice to bring a bag without some form of up-front investment or having to endure the madness that is the overhead bin zoo.

On the other hand, I don’t know that banning such fees is the way to go either. I suppose I’m mostly just griping that so many things are going to pay-per-everything and the large, advertised number has decreasingly little relevance to the final, actual cost.
What's the most sci-fi worst case scenario that could come of this?
Market forces have made changes. They've pretty much demonstrated that people make decisions based on the cheapest base fare. So the airlines have mostly (and even the newer airlines have moved in this direction over time) added baggage fees, board early fees, significant change fees, seat selection fees, etc.

The frequent fliers are mostly immune to all this and the family visiting grandma is often going to pick the absolute cheapest flight.
Monopoly means one.

>bans e-cigarettes from planes;

You already can't bring vapes in checked luggage, so what are the nicotine addicted supposed to do? Switch to cigarettes at their destination, since they can't take their vapes along with them? This might be trivial to some folks, but I know people for whom this will be an absolute nightmare.

Anyway, this is easy for the non-addicted to see as a non-issue or a minor change, but for those who have nicotine habits, this makes airplanes that much more of a hellish experience than they already are. Worse, it actively punishes the folks trying to get away from smoking analog cigarettes, because it makes it nigh impossible for them to take their substitute when they travel..

The question is how you eat fewer calories.

Eating fewer calories is a function of two things:

1. Reducing the number of points in the day in which you eat.
2. Changing the kind of food you eat at each of those points.
3. Changing the quantity of food you eat at each of those points.

From the amount of emotional energy or willpower necessary to do that, it seems like an intermittent fasting regimen is a technique that helps people do that.
