I got bored and couldn't finish the article, but I was leaning towards your opinion.

In any event, it only seems to argue against willpower versus addiction. As someone who has spent his life on-and-off exercising, I finally made a more long-lasting change and have lost 50lbs in 18mo and I'm in the best shape of my life. There's no secret, but the more time you spend thinking about it and focusing on it, and putting it in practice, the easier it gets. To me, it's mostly willpower.

To the article's credit, however, I've had much better luck exercising regularly and cutting out bad foods than I have at cutting out alcohol :)
That's a broad generalization, and it seems that it is mostly driven by anger.

The reason you can go to a supermarket and buy food IS the "new" way of doing things. The reason there's close to zero food waste in production and distribution of food in developed markets is the "new" way.

Their farm is dying because it is inefficient. Let it die.
If it was standing in the way, no women could achieve a career in science. Since some women have achieved just that, it can be concluded that it doesn't stand in the way.
This is somewhat true, but to be fair there are only a few countries the US and it’s allies don’t do business with - as long as you don’t land in Iran or North Korea you’d be in pretty good shape.
Getting back is another story. Stranding a plane at an away-station can be costly.

Especially if there’s some repair required before next takeoff.
> Spotify doesn’t pay an “Apple Tax”. You can’t subscribe to Spotify within the App store.

Spotfy is an example. Plenty of Apps do pay the "Apple tax." I'd get into the complexity of how the "Apple tax" affects Spotify even though it doesn't pay it, but you seem to have already made up your mind about all this regardless of the facts.
As someone who hates large corporations (I think I spend most of my HN time nowadays railing against big tech) and a vegan this hits me at a weird spot. CAFO’s are horrible to the land and the poor cows trapped in them. Greater volume equals greater profit and less concern on an individual…

Small dairy farms are better in a few ways, but cows still live there for a fraction of their natural life spans, calves are taken from their mom’s while way too young because we use their milk for our own consumption. Say all you want about “they’re bred that way” but that all seems to be a guise for getting what we want out of them. I’m sure small farmers care about their cows, but I’m also sure their perspective is shaped by the need to make a living from them.

Where this all comes to head now, with falling demand in milk and rising big companies, is rough. We’ll have more mistreated cows and larger businesses taking over. Society will change over time and should, we’re on the verge of environmental apocalypse it seems and meat and dairy are a part of it[1], finding a way to support those who need to change industries humanely is key.

Over 300 people dead sounds pretty serious to me. It's probably safest to ground the plane model until we know more.
Both incidents have been in the first few minutes of flight and this is also a 'long term safety' thing. They're relatively safe to fly still.

On the other hand, if your plane gets stuck in a foreign country the bill just for parking the thing could be massive. Better to get it back while you still can.
Placements at the university aren't the property of the individual being paid, so it's illegal in the same way that embezzling funds or stealing trade secrets would be.

That's a great story. Marketing doesn't know everything, I guess!
AFAIK the avionics on both variants are the same. A pilot who is (properly!) trained and type-rated on one should be able to effortlessly use the other.

The only difference, again AFAIK, is the passenger and cargo capacity, length, and the range.

"Dangerous" is probably the wrong word - anomalous is a better one. Most software doesn't need to know, say, how many entries there are in the Users table. It generally is querying for a specific user, or a range of users with some particular property.

It sounds like they had some software watching for any out-of-the-ordinary queries, which they then manually verified with the apparent person who was executing them. When that person had no idea what they were talking about, that's when the red flags went up.
Isn’t the entire idea of a data breach, that the data you are breaching is something you have been trusted with?

If you e.g anonymously poll the sexual orientation of your population and condense it to down numbers, it is something completely different than having a list with who is gay.

The first gives you insight in the structure of your population and the second allows everybody to target individuals, based on something a poll found.

The Dutch listed religion in their public register (see Hollerith system) before the second world war. Guess who thankfully used that list later?

The realization what data like that allows a fascist dictatorship to do is the main reason why the Germans up to this day are extremely sceptical about any state collected data and have one of the harshest data protection laws in the world.

Equating anonymous statistics with a list of individuals is wrong. And statistics that allow you to identify individuals are unethical and potentially dangerous.
They write this big post and end the last paragraph saying "It is always Day 0 at Elastic". What does that remind you of? :D
This was bad. I was expecting a move towards transparency that could've outmaneuvered amazon. This is just appeal to emotion.
I wouldn't relate willpower to subconscious decisions. To me, it's about a conscious effort to refrain from acting on impulses.

With that being said, conscious effort is not always required to get out of bed in the morning. What if you're stressed out for an exam and you just automatically get out of bed to study a few minutes more? What if you're fully rested or hungry, so that you've no internal debate about whether you should get up or not?
That is strange. If it came from an administrator account, it didn’t come from the software “that runs on top of the database”.
Well, hang on.

There aren't thousands. There's like 200+ on that list right now.

And if I am understanding this right, a lot of those don't seem like they're "daily"

There's also a lot of pointless and silly stuff in there. For example, the one about a microwave that stops before it rings, or the one that filters top level domains (tlds).

An entire section isn't even real businesses, just wishes for one.

There are only a handful of actual serious businesses that can generate money listed here. Something like ~10. Even assuming this was daily, that would be 3k+ new serious businesses per year. That should be way higher, like 10x as much given how low the barrier to entry is for a modern day business (especially in software).
Well, imagine a goal-based system. The first utterance to a voice assistant provides some inputs and a goal, like booking an Uber, but if you haven't provided all the inputs it needs to meet the goal, the assistant knows how to ask for more information, and also saves enough state to let you modify (or cancel) requests after the fact. This is arguably more advanced than a phone tree; you're not just giving keywords to advance along the branches.
I think the linux community is now less about the distro, and more about what runs on the distro.

The latest trends in software development (containers, kubernetes) are just moving too fast for Debian to keep up, IMO. I think we're going to see the rise of 'purpose-built kubernetes' distros.
Along the same lines, a Gmail-esque Thunderbird web service would be amazing. I could finally de-google myself completely if that were the case.

Currently, I need to set up my own email hosting through a service like fastmail and then configure a desktop client(like Thuderbird) to use it.

A Mozilla Gmail-esque service would remove a lot of the friction there and probably bring in a bunch of users who are tired of google running everything.

Huh, that ruling was pretty broad. Only pertains to the 2nd circuit as it wasn't reviewed by SCOTUS, but still. Do you know if it was a key cite in cases in other circuits?
Agree that an offline-first PWA is the way to go. Not _no_ javascript, just _as little as possible_. However, I've also not seen such a good example before of how doable this is, so thanks to the author for the show-and-tell. The label/checkbox example is a new one on me, and covers pretty near 80% of my use of javascript. It's interesting how when you strip html of all the DOM api nonsense it starts to look like an exciting new framework. Forms are such a nice, declarative way to get user input.

I don't want rapid (rabid?) iteration, I want shit that works.

"The cloud" is little more than a hyped-up, glorified business objective; human beings shouldn't have to be connected to the hive mind to enjoy the full benefits of technology. Nothing smacks of SV-style elitism more than the proliferation of "the cloud"

There is no world besides maybe Beats where any of the acquisitions that Apple made would have ever ended up being competitors.

The entire reason for almost any investor backed company to exist is to be acquired. You don’t have to look any further than YC. In its entire history only one company that it has invested in has ever gone public.
That's what I was suspecting but couldn't find any claims of that on their site. Is a per-gb plan different from Enterprise? How much do they charge per gb?
And in retrospect, it would have been a mistake to break up Microsoft. No one is advocating breaking them up today. And that happened just through market forces and time, no government intervention needed.

Thanks, I thought about it but for now I'm thinking that the human mind is more intuitive in what actually makes an idea applicable and feasible. It's like Kasparov playing chess against Deep Blue, AI might come up with a lot of calculations per second but it has none of the insight and intuition a chess master has. However, there is a startup idea generator at https://startup-gen.surge.sh/ if you want to check it.
In the Iran case, there are similar sanctions from the EU, so the Airbus A320 family are also out of the question.

And if you want something the size of the best selling variants of the A320 family and 737 MAX you have essentially no choice.
Yeah, the article was light on details. They said you could buy an uncirculated coin for 10 pounds, which led me to believe some would ALSO be circulated, but it would have been nice information for them to include :)
Yeah... larger operations are more efficient. It’s one thing I try to remind people who think humane meat could be a thing. Our planet is already getting destroyed by CAFOs imagine feeding people cows who each had an acre to themselves?

(My solution is just stop eating animals, better for them, us, and our dying planet)
Exactly. But an administrator actually may have a use for doing a count statement.
I think that patterns of behaviour, and avoiding circumstances and triggers, and even things like cognitive behaviour therapy can have a profound effect, so maybe it's that 'willpower' is important, but it's only in a given context ...

Once I'm in the habit of going to the gym, it's a lot easier. I've allocated the time. I know the ins and outs, my gear is ready, I know what I'm going to do, it's the 'natural course of action' for the day.

It takes much less 'willpower' to rationalize doing (or not doing something) when the forces you're up against are different.

Also, I think some people have much greater perspective of consequences. Some people live in the moment, and want the rush or feeling of whatever they're about to do. Others can rationalize better how it will affect their lives down the line.

I'm just a little wary of somehow rejecting the notion that 'will', especially as it relates to choice ... doesn't even exist.
This is a very succint explanation of what's happening here (in the Lion Air case, anyway). Not sure why you're being downvoted - perhaps the claim that this is a "complex problem".
The right way to turn a failing marketing campaign on its head
Good call. Ethics and morality are pursuits for chumps.

rolls eyes
I feel like the other commenters here are missing the point of the article. The current scientific understanding of motivation and willpower is severely lacking. The author is pointing out this fact. And while he does not have a thorough discussion about a solution, it doesn't take away from his thesis: willpower is poorly defined.
This actually makes a ton of sense and is what people on the sidelines of the insulin debate have been screaming since Gary Taubes starting publishing his work about dietary sugar. Unfortunately it's given people a very non-nuanced view of the science.

The problem is not dietary sugar, it is blood sugar levels, which are elevated by many things (including protein and fat), but more than anything by excess calories. The problem is not peak blood sugar levels, it is average blood sugar levels.

Edit: to quickly reply to your TLDR edit:

> Thus, protein- and fat-rich foods may induce substantial insulin secretion despite producing relatively small bloodglucose responses.

This is only true if you completely ignore everything else going on in the body. Gluconeogenesis is a thing, and just because dietary fat or protein doesn't immediately increase blood sugar levels does not mean long term they don't. This stuff can't just be looked at as "input/output" you have to take into consideration the existing state of the person before the input. /edit

You can reason about this fairly easily: take a caloric intake of 2000 calories consumed all at once vs in 10 meals over the day. The all at once crowd gets a huge insulin spike. Oh no! Fat storage, right? Sure, but what happens the rest of the day when there is no dietary input? Fat burn! The 10 meals/day crowd probably never gets as high blood sugar levels, but also has much higher throughout the day, and accesses fat stores less. But guess what? Net the body is really pretty good at smoothing this stuff out, it's sort of the entire point of fat storage.

Where this gets tricky is that high insulin can eventually lead to low blood sugar dips. People without diabetes can simply wait this out, and the body will start burning fat again and raise the blood sugar. But this also makes many people feel hungry, and so they eat more, which raises their average blood sugar levels, and the cycle continues. Some people have a hard time with this, others do not, but it's really important to understand that the insulin is causing people to consume more calories which is causing damage, not the insulin itself.
I'm not a farmer; as a consumer in a managed market, wouldn't your platitudes imply that I should desire a free market? As it is, the products I buy are reasonably priced, high quality, and safe.
> It has a giant stash of patents related to search

Patents are not an antitrust violation. Breaking up google doesn't revoke their patents.

> On top of that it continues to extract behavioral and structural data about both users and the web from things like analytics, Android, etc. with gigantic reach.

Breaking up google doesn't mean all this insight disappears. We need better data privacy laws to address this.

> These are gigantic barriers to entry and Google created them.

You haven't described a barrier to entry, you've described a product that is so far ahead of the rest of the market that it's difficult to compete, but there is nothing preventing a competitor from giving it their best shot. If somehow a group of genius polymath programmers developed a superior search product, nothing about google's current business practices (besides brand awareness) would hinder their success.
Your question is unclear. IBM designed this product to audit for things that look like signs of an attack/probing and if it generated a lot of false alerts, the product would be worthless.

How often do you design a database query to get the count of all rows from a table? It sounds like an uncommon use case, but probably one you could mute from the audit if you do it intentionally.
> rms has a different idea of what 'free software' entails, as evidenced by GPLv3

I think we have to separate definitions from strategy/goals: the OSI open source definition and he FSF Free Software definition—the latter of which seems to be what RMS views Free Software as entailing—a remarkably similar. The difference seems to be that RMS and the FSF view preventing non-Free software as an important goal, and this prefer licenses which tend to have the effects of preventing downstream non-Free derivatives and encouraging people to relicense other software under them, whileany others in the FOSS universe prefer promoting FOSS creation and use to preventing non-FOSS software..
Perhaps the thing just is that "programming open source stuff" is a shitty business model?

Build a database, not a database engine.

> Some open source is still written by people working for a large employer, who pay them to be dedicated to that product.

Take e.g. tensorflow by google. The software itself, is per se worthless, so they can release it as OSS as some kind of calling card or recruiting tool. The crown jewels they are guarding closely and are never letting any outsider access directly is their data.
They did. But it didn't work with NAT so it died.
if it works for you then keep on keepin' on
Or, since they can still access the web interface, they can still send to addresses/servers not in russia.
Prefetching is going to waste data in a lot of the world where you pay by the megabyte.

Everything is a tradeoff.
If you're still interested in this type of tool, I'm sure Mozilla would welcome your contribution: https://github.com/mozilla/send
So nobody but Apple and Google can handle security? The first days of free-for-all would be rough, but there'd eventually be a lineup of safe marketplaces.

Hardware is a key part of security, too, but Intel doesn't have to run the marketplace.
what would be the next move from Amazon? Open distro for Kafka, MongoDB and Redis, and all other successful opensource tools?

Just don't know where Amazon is going with this approach of re-packaging existing opensource tools and calling it their opensource contribution.
We are working on a plugin for BitTorrent that will automatically re-upload a file to Firefox Send when the old link expires and then make the new link available in the torrent.
As a consumer, I'd say search is Amazon's weakest link. It's often easier to find products on Amazon through Google or DuckDuckGo than through Amazon's own website. Product metadata is so poorly curated that Amazon's filters are pretty useless; compare sometime to specialist retailers like Microcenter or NewEgg where curation is much more complete. I often search for the combination of features I want on other sites and then look for the same exact product number on Amazon to check for a better deal (and Amazon isn't always the cheapest).

Not in all states. In Texas, you do not need auto insurance if you can prove you have the financial ability to pay what an insurance company would otherwise pay.

They're private clubs, not public charities.

One of the reasons people want to go to these schools is because they have lots of resources. If you ban wealthy parents and alumni from donating, the school wont be outstanding, so the University has good reason to accept these.
Yes, but there are always going to be minor changes during each revision. Before the MAX there were the -600, -700, -800, and -900 series 737s. Before that, the -300, -400, -500 series. Each set will invariably have a few things that pilots will have to be aware of. In this case, Boeing didn’t alert pilots to the new MCAS system, which is a giant failure on their part.

It’s not yet known if this latest crash is in any way related to the first (although I have several outstanding wagers against this being the case).
Holy shit?
Dairy cattle are the poster children for a varied diet. They eat many kinds of waste such as distillers' grains, peanut hulls, beet pulp. They don't care where their corn silage comes from and they can even consume and detoxify aflatoxin-laden corn that cannot be placed into any other food supply. I'm not sure that larger dairy farms are going to have more of a monoculture attitude toward their supply of feed.
Let me also enter the impopular Null Theory:

Maybe there is nothing in particular wrong with these planes, and they were just hit with two random accidents.

P2P means both machines must be able to talk to each other (occasionally difficult when both are behind NAT) and must be turned on at the same time. Using a reliable intermediary gives some flexibility.
I believe only the MAX-8s are in service. MAX-7s exist, but not sure if they're in use, or just on order. The 9 and 10 haven't been produced yet.
And how did them “being careful” affect the rise of Facebook, Apple, Amazon or Google?

They tried to compete in both the media player, digital music, and phone market and failed.

They are still trying to compete in search.
They have a monopoly on advertising because they have a monopoly on search, hence traffic, hence knowing what individual people are up to.
We'll see, but some companies have ordered hundreds of this model, e.g. Southwest Airlines ordered 245!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southwest_Airlines_fleet#Curre...

Orders & Deliveries of the 737 MAX (all models): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boeing_737_MAX_orders_...
Only one airline has a fleet of more than two dozen 737 MAXs (of any variety) currently: Southwest (and that's only 5% of their fleet). There are essentially no airlines with large fleets of them yet, which makes this relatively easy for them to deal with.

That said, "relatively easy" is still a comparative: aircraft are frequently leased and having any out of service will be costing the airline a lot of money.
I asked for evidence of a specific phenomenon. The specific phenomenon I requested evidence of would be no easier to have evidence for in the electronic or paper case.
