> Yes, calorie-restriction works in basically every living thing to prolong life. No, people will not do it.

Right, this is the point: it's about compliance, which is real and important, but very different from metabolic change.

> Please don't tell me there is conclusive evidence on anything related to nutrition. The second statement is not true, differences have been shown.

No, there is no study showing the same number of calories consumed over different feeding schedules have any different outcomes. I am 100% confident about this. To be clear: there are studies showing people on IF eat fewer calories, and that eating few calories has net benefits. That's great, but that's compliance not metabolism.

> Yes, it's not binary, but the easy way to increase lipolysis is to decrease insulin.

Again, time windows. Please consider time windows. In a 24 hour period this stuff is all neutralized. Or maybe it's not, but we don't have any science showing it's not, and quite a bit showing it is.
Pidgin essentially stopped supporting new XMPP features a decade ago. This includes multi-device support and many new convenience features (delivery receipts, file uploads). There are some plugins that might be able to compensate, but at significant effort.

OTR wasn't made for the multi device use case at all (and even OTRv4 is explicitly single-device). If you happen to log in with multiple clients, it will most probably confuse the other side's OTR plugin

Many of those same people can benefit from marijuana. Yet, it is still illegal nationally (in the States). Studies have shown opioid abuse has gone down in states that legalized recreational marijuana use. The opioid epidemic isn't making opioids more difficult or impossible to obtain. It is the backwards thinking war on drugs that wants to punish those who self medicate. Then they keep punishing people for arbitrary reasons. Recidivism rate in this country is far too high due to the prison/jail system's goal. It isn't to improve behavior, it is to make money. Who benefits from locking up a non-violent offender? The public foots the bill. Police officers have increased paperwork/workload which takes them away from far serious crimes. The offender doesn't receive help and has to jump through arbitrary hoops and walk a very fine line (compared to non-offenders) just to avoid re-incarceration.

We don't actively work to improve people who are struggling. The jail system in the US primarily keeps people down.
I like the LAX screensaver on Apple TVs—you can pick out the more organic/bird-like curve of the newer generation carbon fiber 787 planes from the old ones. I’ve never thought about it, but they do look less stable.
The victim is partially to blame for her own death in this case.

I agree that victim blaming is _not_ useful when trying to figure out why a safety critical application failed and should not even be in the equation when developing, operating, or maintaining such safety-critical systems.

But to simply answer the question "Who is to blame for her death?" the blame does _not_ rest 100% solely on Uber, nor the driver, nor the victim. All 3 failed to prevent the accident (and all 3 had the power and indeed responsibility to prevent it).

People are responsible for their own risk management. If I take an unnecessary risk (like jaywalking at night on a freeway) and I get hit by a car (autonomous or not), that's partially on me.
What if the download was interrupted because, e.g. the other person had a temporary issue in their internet connection? Does the server at least detect that the entire file has been sent over the socket? Does the server at least check that, on a TCP level, receive all the ACK packets it is meant to receive? Of course this still isn't foolproof but it's a good way towards detecting interrupted downloads.

Using React, an incremental re-write is pretty easy, since it can be plugged in for certain components as they become available. Slowly re-write components in React as you modify them, and always write new components in React. Not sure about Vue, but I believe it's the same.

The original design of the 737 did not have ovoid inlets.

You can see regular circular nacelle inlets on the 737-100:

Which is fine, if this were the only vector for votes. But then loads of "early voting" ballots turn up, and truckloads of "harvested" ballots with dubious provenance are delivered to be counted.

This process adheres to the paper trail rule, can be recounted with certainty, and yet is completely and utterly fraudulent.

I'm amused by the Javascript mouse tracking used to rotate the phone image on the first page.
It's not the payload size that matters really, but the latency of requests which you have to wait between interactions, making the UX synchronous and slow.

Good examples are, well, almost any modern and popular app. Like Trello for example. Users spend lots of time on the same page making micro-interactions, creating cards, moving cards around, adding tags, etc. You want to make the in-app experience as flawless as possible in these types of apps, and the initial JS size doesn't matter so much especially when it's cached. There's also lots of shared state and you might be saving multiple things on the server at the same time or uploading multiple files in the background while editing other parts. You might want to store data offline and sync later to the server. Once you have decent complexity, JS app with framework such as React help a lot.
The "confusion" was about why anyone would object to just having another vote. The majority of voters voted for "let us out", which is a strong reason why--to those voters--being forced to stay where they don't want to stay is a far better analogy than fear of being forced out.

This is a far, far better deal than the one that I got for university (CS at a major US research institution, class of 2004), which involved a sticker price of about $140k, a work study assignment unjamming printers to justify ~$2k of wages per semester to cover (barely) the meal plan, and ~$X0k of non-dischargeable debt which started ticking the day I graduated, despite the fact that I was earning salaryman wages (~$30k) for the first 6 years of my career.

Lambda School is quite possibly the most impressive startup I'm presently aware of. They are going to hit tertiary education like a freight train.
> They would open each ballot, and if it was for the "wrong" candidate, they would discretely mark another name

That's impossible. You don't write on French ballot.
We use a card of a standardized format on which the name of the candidate (or the list of names) is printed which you directly put in the envelope. Cards are both sent to you by post and available at the polling station. Anything written on a ballot makes it void.

> They would open each ballot, and if it was for the "wrong" candidate, they would discretely mark another name

Ballots are open in public. The person in charge of opening the envelope does so in front of the room and with two assessors watching. They remove the ballot, read it aloud and display it to the room. It would be very difficult to read and alter a ballot without anyone noticing. A different person updates the tally on a board when the name is read.
Oh, come on. There is a big difference in what "average distance" means when comparing planets (which do not orbit around each other) vs. a planet and the sun (where one body has a nearly circular orbit around the other).
FWIW, the release notes for Firefox for Android call out scrolling performance improvements in 3 of the last 4 releases. Might be worth taking another look :)
Yet deaths in the latter vastly outpace adverse events in the former. What is the criteria by which public safety should operate? Is it biggest explosion?
Hey, co-founder of Lambda School here.

We launched our online CS academy with no upfront tuition almost two years ago.

Now with thousands of students enrolled and hundreds already employed and paying back we wanted to take the next step and open up access to folks who couldn’t afford to pay to survive while attending.

Of course, that introduces significant risk on our part, as students still only pay us back if they get a job paying $50k/yr or more, but we’ve spent the last two years perfecting our admissions and course to select hard-working folks who are likely to have what it takes to get hired and do everything we can to get them there.

For context, we have dozens of full-time interview sourcers and multiple companies per day coming in to interview our students - incentive alignment is powerful. Now that that’s working we can afford to take more risk.

We’re hoping we reach a point where anyone anywhere can move quickly to a high paying job, and only pay back if it works!
You make it sound so easy:) My friend and his partner (let's call them Luis and Lynn) are in their sixties. They both have large houses and lots of stuff. They live about 40 minutes away from each other, and both like where they live. Luis loves his house, and prizes the peace and order of living alone with his dog. Lynn lives a block away from family. She is caring for her elderly sister at home, so her schedule largely revolves around that, and her house is a hub of family activity. Money is not a concern for either.

Every day, they meet for lunch at their favorite restaurant, where they sit at the bar with other regulars. It's like Cheers. Friday is date night, when they go out to dinner, watch a movie, whatever. Once a month or so they go on a little vacation, usually a road trip to the mountains, usually only for a day, but sometimes overnight if Lynn can arrange care for her sister. Once a year they try to do a longer vacation.

They've done this exact routine for nearly a decade, and they've been together for over thirty years. Pretty sure they've got this figured out.

I don't know the answer to 1 or 2, but regarding 3, if the issue in the reports via this article are the same issue, which it seems like they may be, then no I don't believe it poses a risk that can't be addressed through training. Through awareness these pilots and FOs filing reports seemed to know, at least through intuition if not outright knowledge of the new MCAS system, to disconnect the autopilot system when the nose goes down inappropriately.

My question is, should the onus be on the pilots? Yes, they should know about it if they're going to be piloting an aircraft with it, but is this expected behavior? To me it seems more like a bug than expected behavior...why would you want to pitch downwards in a climb?

I don't really understand defense of Boeing in any scenario. This seems like a mistake in any case, whether it's just lack of instruction or documentation in the relevant flight manuals, or an outright system failure.
Thanks for the point-by-point response! As I said my email is in my bio and I hope to hear from you soon.
I am glad I got to experience the "old" internet. I miss it deeply though.
If only it didn't force-expire downloaded maps after a while...
Another issue is that the engines on the Max version are larger than the NG version and didn’t fit under the wing. So they had to raise the mounting point forward and up as well as extend the nose gear 18 inches. These changes caused the plane to have a different flight profile to the NG version. However it would have been disasterous if pilots already certified for the 737 couldn’t fly the 737 max. So boeing implemented the MCAS so make the max handle like the NG. That move is drawing a lot of skepticism because if the computer screws up then the pilots were never really trained to fly the Max

Totally agree on your statement. It's not possible to build modern solutions that are accessible without using some JavaScript. It's always a matter of where you want to go. And it's easy to spare e.g. modals. The question is just if you can solve user experience issues with just HTML and CSS for all use cases.

On the other side, there are more solutions built into HTML and CSS one thinks. In your particular example, you can use the HTML dialog element and get built in keyboard and focus management (still requires a polyfill for many browsers).
Related: when you run out of storage, what's the best way to archive old emails?

Currently I just save .eml to standard backups (not offline, but not email-connected in any way).

I suppose my ideal setup would be some sort of secondary IMAP server that I run, serving archived emails from disk, that clients can access and transparently merge with the primary server provided by the email provider.

Is anything similar possible? Anything better than what I'm doing today?
There were at least three parties who bore some responsibility for what happened. But some people come across as simply excusing Uber in this case. I expect that many of those same people wouldn't be so quick to excuse a human driver who hits a cyclist or pedestrian who isn't interacting with cars in the safest possible manner.
No browser ever asked me if it can use it... and when I was using chrome, I looked for options to disable it and there were none.
Really cool, don't get me wrong. But imo, the biggest achievement here is explaining in non-technical terms how real world inputs can be mapped to features in ML, and how the resulting classifications can be fed into state machines. Obviously, none of this is groundbreaking, but it's explained so clearly that the non-technical person can see the potential in the technology.
My understanding from reading the bug reports is that the general cause of macOS performance issues is understood, but to do anything about it with the current architecture would require pulling developers off WebRender development instead. Instead, work is being done to make things better there for when that's ready to ship on Mac.
The most well known example of this is the Gros Michel banana. It used to be the main type of banana sold in stores until a disease called Panama disease wiped out nearly all of them.

Commodification is even more than that. It involves turning things, activities, ideas, etc. which were not evenly formerly traded into commodifiable entities. So it also includes intellectual property, the abundance of services we now formally pay for which used to be free or done informally, etc.
Finally google has caught up to 1997: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_NaturallySpeaking

> Where does that raw interest come from?

Isn't that the precise question that science is trying to answer, but which is being disputed by people who do not like the answers?

> Humans are highly social creatures and children show signs of learning socially very early so it requires a great deal of care to distinguish between a correlation and the underlying cause

Sure. And you'd also have to distinguish things like hormones... would those be categorized as "nature" or "nurture"? If you categorize them as "nurture" then it would give more credence to the blank-slate hypothesis, since there are definite, measurable changes to physique and behavior from having a higher blood testosterone level, for example.

> The problem is that the latter part is really hard to actually deliver: historically that meant that girls were actively discouraged or prevented from being interested in things which are identified as male

This is sort of a "they can't handle the truth" argument, or perhaps a "guilty until proven innocent" argument, which I don't like. But it is an argument. I guess... It's also an appeal to tradition fallacy- it's quite possible that times have changed and that, more generally, everyone is supported in whatever interests them, way more than it was in "those times", regardless of any emerging scientific info about correlations to gender.

> but even without overt prevention social pressure is a real problem

So is the Petrie multiplier: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrie_multiplier

We should then teach young people not to care about conformity, then. I didn't... My Pascal class in high school (this dates me... this was the late 80's) had 1 woman and myself, and she was awesome. (She's a doctor now.)

> Maybe at some point they give up after being asked again why they're doing something associated with the other gender, which is tiring even if it's not intended to be mean

As a guy I often meet other guys, and the usual guy thing is to talk about sports, which I have pretty much zero interest in. When I was younger, they would give me shit about it (oh jesus, having flashbacks to bad trading of baseball cards, etc.), but as an adult, guys sense when that's not your thing and move onto other topics. I don't think we'll ever completely escape the "jerky kid" element to social pressure, perhaps because part of what it means to be human seems to be to learn how not to be an asshole. :)

> and the only thing which seems to work is actively correcting against them so that every kid has as wide a range of opportunities open to them

Well that's the catch- what is the best way to "actively correct against them"? Some might say "enforcement" (quotas, etc.) but I don't think that's fair, my way would be "teach people not to care one bit what others think about their interests because they are YOUR interests."
