> I'd take lactose over fructose or glucose any day.

I came to the same conclusion, to expand on this point: lactose = glucose + galactose, and there is some interesting research on the benefits of galactose:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3240634/ Galactose Enhances Oxidative Metabolism and Reveals Mitochondrial Dysfunction in Human Primary Muscle Cells

normally it is broken down to glucose, which can be quickly used for energy by the muscular system. In contrast, sucrose = glucose + fructose, the fructose requiring a complex breakdown process by the liver (see Robert Lustig's research, especially his 2009 lecture _Sugar: The Bitter Truth_).

Milk can actually be quite healthful, an excellent source of fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K2, depending on the conditions the cow was raised in and the forage and pasture she was fed. It is also absent of many of the compounds found in nut-based products, including phytoestrogens: plant-based estrogen found in soybeans, phytic acid: inhibits absorption of dietary minerals calcium/iron/zinc found in oats (although the phytate content can be reduced by soaking the oats overnight, how many producers of oat-based products do this?) and almonds/hazelnuts/peanuts/tiger nuts/walnuts/cashews, lectins: carbohydrate-binding proteins found in legumes including peas and soybeans.

From a purely nutritional standpoint, these alternative "mylks" (hat tip to the EU for preventing a corruption of the meaning of the word "milk") seem to be strictly inferior: lower in the good stuff, higher in the bad stuff.

> Otherwise, I might as well drink soda,--from looking at the sugar content of most of these "milks" it's roughly as healthy.

This reminds me of the push to replace soda with fruit juice, but then it turned out they both often have a comparable sugar content: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2014/06/09/319230765/fr...

History repeats, and yet again we see a similar push. Personally I am sticking with good old-fashioned milk myself, the bar to replace a 10,000 year old (estimated 9000-7000 BCE) food is quite high.

I find that I prefer soy with tea and coffee, especially coffee, I think that the slightly nutty flavor goes well.

If you have a soy vanilla latte that’s basically a three bean dip (apologies to those who know that neither vanilla nor coffee are really beans)
Fair enough. They are pretty clear they aren't a replacement for a lawyer on their website, so it looks like I misread the situation.
The only disadvantage is that:

1. You are now passing large blobs of data over the network more frequently than just a signed session ID
2. If you want to ensure consistency of your data (for security purposes), that extra data embedded in the claims of the JWT are useless since you need to query for them for freshness after validating the session anyway.

I wouldn't. I also would rather not pay a fee for wikipedia. I would rather not pay a fee for Google searches.

I'm willing to pay a fee for many things but these three services redefined the entire world's productivity levels. Maps, Search and Wikipedia are world-changing (and miraculously, Wikipedia is a non-profit and still manages to exist and be stable. Please donate if you have the means, etc.). The reason they are world-changing is because they're free.

Free: Available to everyone, everywhere, without payment or account gating. It's a huge fucking deal for the world that they are and remain free.

You want to change the world? Make something massively useful to the planet. Then, make it free.

The other part is you will also have almonds to use for other purposes, like eating them raw or finding a recipe to make roasted almonds with spices you like or...
I whole heartily disagree. There is significant patient risk when it comes to bad testing information. Women may attempt to elect to get invasive procedures (such as double mastectomy) based on their perceived BRCA status. This may lead to the rare infection and potential death, not including the emotional and physical suffering. And as the article alluded to, 23 and Me did "cross the line" when it started reporting warfarin related variants, when the science wasn't well understood [1].

Americans have already agreed that when it comes to healthcare markets, more rather than less regulation is necessary for making clairvoyant decisions (ie Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act which created the modern FDA). I think there is clearly potential for policy reform, but the complete lazzie-faire economic model just simply doesn't apply to the healtcare market.

Ask HN: What software service to monitor the health of my docker containers?
I have a couple of docker containers that I run on DigitalOcean.

I want a simple tool to alert me whenever they die or if the app exits.

Right now what I do is run a Python script that sends me a Telegram message whenever a container dies.

Are there any simple, lightweight solutions out there? I do not need anything complex.
If California had investigated 100 of Anthem's paying customers' cancelled policies at random, instead of 90, and found 100 were illegally cancelled because of the cost instead of the 90 out of 90 they found to be illegally cancelled because of the cost, would it be stealing then?

What is it if it's not stealing when you take people's money in exchange for a service but illegally close their account and keep the money they paid instead of providing the service?

In May 2014, Anthem Blue Cross refused to pay for the
hospitalization of a Sonoma County, California man for
stage four cancers, although he had paid Anthem over
$100,000.00 in premiums.[61][62] Anthem ended up paying
for coverage following public outcry.[63].

The crisis is unrelated to the petro. Nobody in the word cares about the petro.

Their main export product was oil and they nationalized PDVSA in 2007 and since then the production drop to a third of the original production, and the price of oil also drop a lot.

And the other branch of the economy also had problems.

The petro was a last ditch effort to do something when the economy was already collapsing, the prize of the dollar in the black market was much higher than the official prize of the dollar, and the inflation was high and uncontrollable.

To understand the petro, you must ask the same question that is relevant in most of the ICOs: If they want to use a cryptocurrency, why they don't use BTC or ETH instead of creating a new one?
The amount of pearl-clutching over the use of singular “they” from some people is astounding. It’s not difficult. Language is malleable. “They/them” works just fine, thanks. Newer pronouns similar to “xe” will get you nasty looks from people who already struggle with concepts outside the gender binary and IMO, not worth adding even more social friction into a conversation.

Personally I don't use a DSLR because they are large, but i do use a professional camera and I can say, hands down, that after you achieve a level of quality for the photo, the control you have over the camera is the most important thing.

You cannot get a decent amount of control with a phone.

29 year IT veteran here. I don't agree with a lot of this article.

I remember panic-talk when outsourcing began. When offshoring arose. Etc. None of these extinguished the need for IT workers.

I view the cloud as the next generation of the mainframe. By that, I mean your experience and understanding of the environment (nobody will master all of it) will be a career differentiator. Knowledge of Kubernetes, Istio, etc. will help you to navigate the next career paths. System admin skills (and associated extras, like networking) will likewise move you up the ladder.

Bill Gates once said there is an infinite number of problems yet to be solved, an infinite amount of work to be done. I believe him.
> for a subset of problems it worked well but once you had branchy code and less than very consistent memory access it was dismal.

So, a lot like coding for the GPU. Makes sense, given that the low-level architecture is so similar... And it might explain why VLIW itself is not so widely used anymore. AIUI, even the Mill proposed architecture (which boils down to VLIW + lots of tricks to cheaply improve performance on typical workloads) has a hardware-dependent, low-level "compilation" step that's quite reminiscent of what a GPU driver has to do.

Why Everyone Is Fighting About CSS/UX and JavaScript
>A lot of vendors (even big enterprise ones) use openwrt builds for their products, but don't provide updates, documentation or sources to their customers.

Case and point, Ubiquiti networks is once again flagrantly violating the GPL. Their AmpliFi product is basically just a reskin of OpenWRT but they won't provide the source to it.
The title needs updating.

Tesla has not "patented" anything (yet). They have a "patent application" in the works, but have not yet been given a "patent".

Relevant quotes from the linked article:

> has applied for a patent

> The patent application

> Tesla’s newly published patent application

> for the patent application:

The distinction is important. They do not yet have any legal patent rights during the application/examination stage. Nor do they have "a patent" at this stage.

The title should read something like: "Tesla applies for patent on new battery ..."
Isn't this punishable by GDPR?
True, the points raised here is that the cost is to most is prohibitively costly to make it not so.

Take the simple case of fighting a speeding ticket the cost of fighting it is so much above the cost of paying it that to most people there is not differnce to having a man in a suit say pay this or else without any evidence or compliance with a law in a dictatorship.

Parent law shake downs is another example of little difference between a patent shake down in a western country and an oligarch

Now obviously it isn’t doom and gloom and it’s all the same. But also for most people living in a democracy or a dictatorship there isn’t much impact to their lives
> Essentially, users do not really benefit from the use of JavaScript, but websites do, and they do so mightily!

Bullshit. Lots of features that are essential in people's everyday use case need Javascript in the web.

> 4. Websites that Require JavaScript. When I encounter a website that absolutely requires JavaScript to function so conditioned are my reflexes that I find I've backed out and off it without me even having realizing it. I can wiz through dozens and dozens of news items on Hacker News and easily bypass any sites that will not function without JS. I've never needed to worry, as on the Web there's always thousands of equivalent or alternative websites that are more 'cooperative' from which to choose.

Good for you for who's use is just for browsing in HN. As for most people there who use it for work and personal reasons, I am glad Javascript is there to provide features that are not possible without it.

> 5. In very rare instances when I must visit a site that requires JavaScript to function, I've a browser add-on that has an icon on the navigation toolbar which allows me to simply toggle JS on and off whenever required. Accidentally leaving JS on is almost impossible as the icon changes from green to red when off. Similar methodologies apply on my rooted smartphone: along with the absolute prerequisite of completely removing (deleting) Google's GApps, the 3rd-party browser I use has a feature to turn JavaScript quickly off

Guess what language that browser add-on you are using is written in.

> In a much more user-centric web environment, none of us users would ever need this JavaScript 'junk'.

In a user-centric environment, we put people needs first. So having a language that empowers developers to put features that are useful to the user is the primary focus. If you want to create JS less websites, you STILL can do so.

I understand that Javascript has much to improve. But your hatred for it borders on the idealogical.
I don't think Orange PI is related...those use Allwinner ARM CPUs.

It's likely the sales listing just said something like "C-SKY Orange PI Raspberry PI" or something, even though it was the board above, which has its own weird architecture that isn't ARM.

For some reason AliExpress listings do that often... "generic thing + some recognizable brand unrelated to it"
I think you're right but for different reasons. Over the past few years, we've seen the toxicity that can come from the management of healthcare companies like they are the same as software companies. The easy example here is Theranos, which was engaged in fragrant fraud until it was uncovered by the WSJ. The company focused its time and resources on the design and aesthetic, but was from a scientific perspective, 100% BS.

That says to me that if you don't take an aggressive regulatory supervision of the healthcare market, (literal) snake oil salesmen will come in and promise the world. It's one thing to let juicero fail because there's no critical health concern that happens when the product ultimately fails. When it's a device or service that impacts patient care, we have a moral obligation to ensure we are doing best to ensure we are positively impacting care.
> ...but once they start asking specifically about relationships [etc] people often lie to the machine to make them seem like a better person or boost their own morale.

People do this on social media anyway. Because it's pseudo-public, social media is mostly performative. You post your staged selfies, victories, and happy memories and don't post the rest. The only place you'll find the kind of honesty you espouse is private chat and analyzing chat for "preferences" is like snooping on people's private conversations - ultra creepy.
not long ago there was an article about Leibniz inspiration through geomancy. Which was also used for ages by humans, albeit not in a mathematical rigor setting.

That led me to some rant, I think most of the core of mathematics is absolutely natural to the layman of any place in space and time. Simplicity and regularity is quite obvious to any body, but the education systems blurs that off mathematics. Only advanced research can reconnect the two sadly.

Star Forts were built in the US as well. During the Revolutionary War, soldiers loyal to the English King built an earthen 8-point fort near the town of Ninety Six South Carolina. It successfully repulsed an attack by 50 Patriots under the command of General Nathanael Greene.

The British commander Sir Francis Rawdon, 1st Marquess of Hastings, relieved the forces there shortly afterwards and abandoned it as part of a general retreat to Charleston.

In reality national security is interpreted and enforced in such way that all free speech is a threat.
Not exactly. As long as YT acts the way the DMCA specifies (receive takedown notice, take down content, notify account owner), YT maintains safe harbor protection.

The problem is that Big Media doesn’t like the idea of safe harbor. It also doesn’t like the potential to have their unlicensed content available while a court decides (they file a DMCA takedown, but the account owner claims “fair use” and YT puts it back up - now it’s online until a court orders it offline.) Hell, Big Media hates the idea of fair use.

ContentID came about because Google decided it would be cheaper to just allow Big Media more direct access than to keep defending themselves in spurious lawsuits designed to make example cases and have parts of the DMCA nullified.

> Right now you have one mutex for everything (the GIL itself) and everything else doesn't need locking.

If this were true, all of the explicit locking mechanisms in Python's threading module would be pointless. But in fact the GIL's "mutex" is quite a bit more limited than you are saying. It does not prevent all concurrent code from running. It only prevents Python bytecode from running concurrently in more than one thread. But the GIL allows switching between threads in between individual bytecodes, and "one Python bytecode" does not correspond to "one Python statement that performs an operation that you want to be atomic"; plenty of Python expressions and statements are implemented by multiple bytecodes, so it is perfectly possible for multiple threads executing concurrently to modify the same data structures with such statements, creating race conditions if explicit locking mechanisms are not used to prevent it. That's why Python's standard library provides such explicit mechanisms.

> Many people only have one credit card so having it temporally unavailable due to fraud issues is a hardship.

"Get the Amazon card and get A% on your Amazon purchases." "Get the X card and get X% on your X purchases."

The average American has 2.6 credit cards. People with less money typically have more credit cards. So that's generally not a problem if you're making a purchase in real time.

And they're pretty good about turning your card back on once you sort out the issue, and will actually notify existing merchants of your new card number if it changes, so it's basically the same level of inconvenience sorting it out with the credit card company as sorting it out with Paypal.
Nut bags (no giggling please!) are also super useful for getting the final mouthfeel correct. I usually do oat milk and keep it on hand for my tea.
> All we’re talking about is whether or not they are right to not pay out this specific claim. Do you have any justification for this being an act of war? What is your position on that particular issue?

Not the parent, but the if the hackers are employees of the Russian government and the ransom money was collected by the Russian government, that seems pretty "act of war"-ish to me.

If a Russian military submarine held up an American freighter, boarded, commandeered the vessel and took the goods back to Russia, wouldn't that be an act of war? Of course this case is different, but I think it is similar enough that taking this case to court is not at all unreasonable.
This actually works.

I was flying AirAsia to Sulawesi last year, and 2 days before my flight the tsunami hit. Hotels destroyed, tourists evacuated from the island.

Even though they're trying to get people off the island, AirAsia refused to refund or even rebook my flight because it was nonrefundable.

Filed a chargeback, and got a response from AirAsia via the credit card issuer offering a refund if I would withdraw the chargeback.

Never again.
