. . . Taking fish oil lowered the risk of heart attack by about 28 percent, which is a "statistically significant" finding, says Dr. JoAnn Manson, who is chief of the division of preventive medicine at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. She led the research.

African-Americans in the study experienced a 77 percent lower risk of heart attack when compared to placebo, which is a "dramatic reduction," Manson says.

Good levels of essential fatty acids – especially a type of Omega 3 called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), found in oily fish – are required for development and maintenance of the brain, eyes, immune system, heart, skin, cognition, behaviour, the nervous system and more.

Why these studies do not include ALL the various systems of the functioning human body ? Fatty acids in fish oil (such as DHA only found in fish oil) are super important for proper neurological functioning of the nervous system, read: the human brain, and especially - - - the aging human brain . . . .

For arbitrary turing machines, determining what they will output solves the halting problem. E.g. the following machine is pi if M' halts else 0.

simulate machine M'
emit pi

Because of the halting problem you more or less do have to treat arbitrary machines as black boxes.
walking to school and then walk to work only if you have the privilege to pay for a decent house or apartment, not an option for the people living far away from the downtown areas
Those are problems of bad architecture, not high density. Apartment buildings offer great value -- you don't need to deal with baby seats in cars. Children can walk to school and social life, often without leaving the building, which is great in winter. Mass transit it easy to build efficiently. Overall families in balc hours of their week from the bane of driving. Greenways can be built and well appointed close in to the city when there isn't housing sprawl. Everyone has wealthier to afford luxuries because they aren't wasting money on low-density utility systems that bankrupt suburbs. Arts and culture and special services for the disabled are on abundance.
> At least in the big companies, H1Bs get the same offers as American employees.

This happens in skill sets with high demand and short supply where free agent shopping between a multitude of offers between gigs in the $200+/hour range is viable because supply is so constrained. I guarantee you will not see this uniformly happen in big companies where skill sets are in high demand and even moderate supply, not to speak of high supply. Otherwise, Disney would not be able to use the vendor-supplies-staffing-for-outsourcing-entire-department-contract loophole via HCL and Cognizant, a situation particularly susceptible to that loophole, explaining its popularity among companies big to small.

"Scientists discerned that groups crossed the Bering land bridge from Siberia into present-day Alaska and then moved steadily south as the last Ice Age ended. Humans carrying artefacts from a culture known as Clovis, including sophisticated projectile points, began to populate the interior of North America around 13,000 years ago. For decades, researchers thought that people associated with this culture were the continents’ first inhabitants.

But the discovery of ‘pre-Clovis’ settlements — including a nearly 15,000-year-old site at the southern tip of Chile — pointed to an even earlier wave of migration to the Americas, presumably also over the Bering land bridge."

I think we should be reminded of these simple historical facts over and over. Lets not forget our history and that truly we are all ONE - Asians, Americans, Russians etc. We come from the same home and born from the same parents.
Was going to post that first quote along with:

"Overall, they showed that neither fish oil nor vitamin D actually lowered the incidence of heart disease or cancer," Fine says.

So apparently heart disease and heart attacks are two different things. If so, why should we care about heart disease at all?
And this is why just about every embedded Linux device more than a few years old runs an ancient kernel with known vulnerabilities.
I can't say I noticed a change in mood when taking D3.

However fish oil undeniably reduces dryness in the EYES, with and without contact lenses.

They do sell in pharmacy supplements for eye health, I think targeted at older people, and the dosage of EPA /DHA is very low. I didn't try those so I can't say how much is needed.

I took eg. Life Extension 700/500 epa/dha and for me the effect was 100% reproducible. On a day I took it, my eyes supported the contacts much better in the evening. Without supplements I could feel the difference.

I wish I could say as much about D3. I keep hearing how it's good for winter etc, but even though I am healing TRAUMA and have suffered anxiety for 20+ years before starting therapy.. i never noticed any obvious changes in mood when supplementing with D3 (which was averaging 3000-ish IU per day). I wish! (edit: and, I spend a ton of time indoors, and working on a PC.. so if they did anything I should have noticed?)
Eh, I live in a relatively large European city and only around 5% of people that I know are within a 15 minute walk from their work or university. I was actually closer when I lived in SF, which seemed denser, but that's an exception among US cities.
The number of cities isn't small. Economy of scale overrides a slight lack of range.
Because that would make them expensive. The cost of those boards isn't in the hardware, it's in the people writing software and the QA that comes with it.

It's ironic to me that the desire is to bring in "jobs", when Amazon has a huge negative impact on local retail jobs.
Government leaders doing whatever it takes to bring jobs and prosperity to their constituents is a good idea.

Seeking favors and special treatment under false pretenses is bad. Amazon is in the wrong, clearly, since they actively misled others.

If my city got a second headquarters for Amazon, I would have been ecstatic.
Of course H1Bs get and accept the same offers. That's exactly the issue.

Don't tell me you never knew the H1B who knowingly accepted a low salary because that was their chance to move to the US, get their food in the door, and hopefully move up. I've known many, from both Asia and Europe, who told me exactly this.

Companies knowingly use this to keep wages lower than the US-based supply would otherwise demand. At one level, I support this -- it maintains a competitive edge.

So what's wrong? Unlike a citizen or permanent resident, H1Bs feel indentured. They are even more risk averse. If you believe in free trade, then the freedom of both parties must be protected. Both H1Bs and undocumented immigrants feel far from protected. There are both moral and economic problems with the arrangement.
I’m glad to see someone else expressing annoyance at the special class citizen status awarded to companies and pointing out this whole city selection process as bullshit.

Companies are important to cities, and that means they get privileges. Maybe that’s not fair, but a company with a few thousand employees will pay for quite a few things through income taxes.

All those employees will also bolster the community with purchases and what not.
> A community of people who presumably are in your socioeconomic class will be living with you

Societywide, that's a huge bug, not a feature, but suburbs have the same problem, and cities mitigate it by having all classes cllose together in public.
>There's a certain irony that the presenter quickly dismisses exception-based error handling, and then the first example handles an error by printing a message and exiting -- exactly what an unhandled exception does.

That would indeed be ironic if that case was the only thing exception-based error handling entails. That is, if every program just let all exceptions go uncaught. Which is nowhere near why exception handling was invented, or how it's used in practice.

I recommend the probability chapters of 'Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms' [1]. I think this book is good because it starts off with balls in hats and goes on all the way to a Bayesian simulation of a Neuron and other subjects relevant for machine learning.

It's available for free online, although most people I know end up buying the book[2].

It’s suspicious because it’s generally dangerous to walk around alone at night in large cities.

It also depends on the area, though. And I would also say just because you’re approached by the police doesn’t mean you’re being suspicious. I’ve been pulled over by police before just because they wanted to let me know it was a dangerous area (I wasn’t from the area).

Edit: I really hope that downvote came from a European or non-American. /s

As an American (and been here my entire life), what I posted above is very accurate to what I have observed.

Maybe in other parts of the country it’s different but in the cities I’m most intimate with (Atlanta, Memphis, Jackson), this is definitely the case.
Non-transport use of oil is only 32%. 9% is for heating and electricity generation, which presumably will also be replaced with batteries or some other improved technology in the long term.

Falling oil demand is great for the planet, since it means lower CO2 emissions, moving pollution from vehicles to centralised power plants (or removing it completely in the case of renewables) rather than at ground level in dense cities, and oil as a finite resource can be used longer for industrial processes for which there are not yet alternatives before we run out.

I think once the West is on its way to being mostly oil and coal free, we will start to see really heavy international action on climate change, because any taxes or penalties introduced for carbon emissions will hurt non-Western countries much more. Already there is immense behind the scenes pressure on developing nations to cut fuel subsidies.

What about existing companies? What about the plethora of small businesses in them? Do they get incentives? After all, they are the majority of the workforce.

Ive thought all along the second headquarters was just a bargaining chip. The fact that when the location was leaked that they came up with yet another “headquarters” proves it. They are just using it as leverage. These antics should be shut down!
It's completely unsupported to say that people in apartments socialize less than people in houses, and likely opposite the truth. Neigbors pas each other constantly, and can visit easily regardless of weather. Children have more peers to play with.

Cities have more options for groceries and grocery delivery.
> I’d take 60 years of a challenging, but meaningful life over 90 years of relaxation and low stress.

So you equate physical challenge with meaning, and physical relaxation with lack of it? Sorry, but not everyone finds meaning only in the same things you do. It seems likely that the vast majority whose lives revolve more around family/community or intellectual pursuits, or even pure leisure, would prefer 90 years of health just good enough to support those, rather than 60 years of being on leaderboards only a very few (perhaps only you) care about.

Also, how would you feel about only 50 years of a challenging but meaningful life as you define such things? Or 40? Or 30? Every year brings a possibility of some setback that puts that kind of physical fulfillment out of reach, and the probability tends to increase over time. Between genetics, dietary habits, smoking/drinking, occupational/environmental stress, infectious disease, or simple accidents, almost everyone hits some kind of limitation before 60. Sometimes through absolutely no fault of their own, and almost always before they expected. High-risk or high-physical stress activities only worsen those odds, and hyper-competitive "type A" behavior does so in specific well-understood ways.

There's no dichotomy between maximizing total years and maximizing good years. If you graph quality of life over time, extending the curve to the right also increases the time above any arbitrary threshold. The point of the article is that high-intensity exercise-for-its-own-sake might be less effective for such maximization than more frequent but less intense "incidental" exercise. If you have actually run a marathon, surely you know that sprinting the first mile won't get you across the finish line faster and might ruin your chances to get across it at all.
Announcing the list of finalists was in poor taste.

At least in the US, apartments are typically owned on a per-building basis, and generally by a company or investor. Buildings where each unit has an individual owner are typically referred to as condominiums. Buying a condo unit also entails buying an ownership share in the condo association that maintains common areas and such. In an apartment, you just pay your rent and utilities and the landlord is responsible for everything else.
How about the ability for users to build and exchange "distros" of interface, information filtering and content discovery. Like themes but besides changing the layout of (a more interactive) browser it also changes how content is viewed/discovered.

Eg. the "grandad" browser with large text, football results & commentary, civic information and communications tools all lined up and easy to use. The "Kids" flavours with varying levels of helicopter parenting. And a bazillion no-JS software dev versions :P.

Perhaps even with modules. Eg. the "Im going on holidays" module displays a curated list of tools (skyscanner/wikitravel etc) to assist with that. The "Im learning to ride a motorbike" motorbike displays curated youtube content (or pre-trained models that reduce spammy search results) in addition to specialised apps to keep track of progress etc.

> Although precise accelerometers exist in devices such as mobile phones and laptops, they must be recalibrated frequently and can only be used to navigate for up to a few hours at a time.

This sounds like they're using dead reckoning, i.e. integrating the acceleration twice to get the displacement from a known starting position. Regular accelerometers are too noisy and have a large drift because of this. Noise get's amplified when integrated, so if you're integrating twice you'll need a really low noise source.
If the compiler still accepts it, then that it belongs to the "UB" class of code is not much comfort.

The whole point is to NOT have it be accepted.

We'll just have to agree to disagree.

You can hide it behind fancy words but what you want to do is force existing residents who own their homes out in the name of 'economic growth'.

I don't have to agree with that.

Yes, that's what buying something is. I don't want to live in a world in which everything is simply rented. We should be helping people get _out_ of that, not dragging them in to it.

>It's completely unsupported to say that people in apartments socialize less than people in houses, and likely opposite the truth.

I've never seen apartment residents socialize more than suburban neighbors anywhere I lived or visited.

I don't have numbers, but the isolation of apartment living in cities is a common trope in movies and literature, and a constant complaint of people moving to cities or going away from them.
My understanding is that he’s talking about app specific code, like yeah the os is smart enough to only load libc once, but php/node/python/rails/x are all going load up there language run times and app specific libraries into their processes. The non .so parts. Then the 100mb number makes sense.

The years I spent in New Zealand painted a vivid picture of a society of doers. I think there’s something to the idea that this comes in part from being a landmass the size of Colorado, with not much more than 4 million people, with the freedom and requirements to maintain the infrastructure of being a sovereign nation.

Seeing a NZ rocket launch condures an image of a small group of doers dreaming big. Way to go NZ!

> The current L1 is a visa for transferring from a branch of a company in another country to a branch of the same company in the US.

Also being used by body shops to ship in people who otherwise couldn't get into the US. The process is they open up a marginal nexus in a nation with relatively more lax immigration laws to their origin nation, then transfer via L1 into the US from branch to branch. Identification and enforcement against this kind of abuse is very time-consuming, as there are legitimate situations used by legitimate companies. AWS was pitched/started by guys in South Africa, they legit could come to Seattle Amazon HQ on L1.

It’s not a good idea, as it results in a race to the bottom as seen in this and countless other situations. No one has the ability to price in all the effects of a company moving in or not moving in, not to mention the opportunity of corruption that is opened up.

Price obfuscation is bad for the payer (taxpayers in this case). The goal should be to be as clear and transparent as possible.

A good chunk of low wage h1bs are students. They are desperate to get h1b within the 12-18 months they are allowed to remain in the country. So they will accept any kind of job they can get at very less pay. I know teams that exclusively higher these students instead of bringing someone from India. It's far easier to hire these students and then apply for their h1b than get h1b for someone in India that can easily take 1-2 years. These students are the primary source of all the h1b scams like the ones mentioned in this article. People in India rarely have access to these US scam companies. Also, Indian companies like Infosys hire a huge number of students. Now looks like they have cut down on that, so will see where all these students will end up.
