30% of smartphones sold in the EU in 2019Q1 were Huawei.

You can bet that no bank or whatever will abandon such a large fraction of the users of their app, but is already calling people to get the Huawei OS version of their app started.

Especially given that Huawei OS looks to be a fork of AOSP with the proprietary Google Services replaced with proprietary Huawei services. The developpers will just fork the existing app, using Android studio, and the same language!

Seeing these articles always illustrates how some things are out of the ordinary in the US, but which other countries take for granted. In Greece, for example, cooking a meal every day is the norm, as in many other countries I've been to.

I wonder how the US society has "forgotten" this practice.

The Apollo program ran for 12 years and ended with six successful missions.

Here we are half a century later, with wildly more advanced technology, a bunch of ready-to-fly rockets to choose from, and they need another ten years for a single mission? What “organizational changes” are necessary that cost billions?
> Two years ago I went on the ‘eat no processed foods’ Fuhrman diet and it had an amazingly positive effect on my health. I realize that I am just one data point but this is my personal experience.

As a counter data point, I started down an "eat no processed foods" diet about four years ago and I'm the heaviest I've ever been. But to blame the diet would ignore more obvious possibilities like my metabolism slowing down as I hit 30, and not going to the gym as often as I used to.
Yeah I'm not at all sure what their "from scratch" definition is exactly. You can go pretty far back "from scratch"... or still "cook" and avoid a lot of processed things ... not sure what they mean exactly.

> Using these variables, UnifyID sorts gaits into about 50,000 distinct types. When coupled with information about a user’s finger pressure and speed on the touchscreen, as well as a device’s regular places of use—as revealed by its GPS unit—that user’s identity can be pretty well determined

And the devil is in the details. While gait detection will improve and become a huge security issue in the near future, for now we can already usually identify someone by their GPS history.

The need for such data, and the intentional ambiguity over which bit of data is actually the most useful, tells me this tech isn't where it needs to be yet and this article is a bunch of hype.
Why? Coffee has no sugar.
>So wait, hold on, is cooking more expensive or not?

Just to answer this one part - the cooking itself is generally cheaper than eating out constantly.

But that's after you jump over the barrier to entry of pots, pans, utensils, stove, cleaning supplies, and materials in bulk. And once you've learned how to cook. The only thing worse than wasting money on a poorly prepared meal is knowing that you can't afford to not eat the garbage.

I guess part of the problem is comparing "unhealthy" processed foods with cooking "healthy" food?

I can cook food for a whole day for about €1. It will mostly be potatoes and lack any nutrients, but it will be a lot cheaper than any processed food I could buy. Or I can cook something with fresh ingredients and lots of fiber and nutrients, but those ingredients are expensive to buy in part because handling time sensitive squishy stuff makes every step of the supply chain more expensive.
America should reduce corn subsidies. Corn works its way into the American food ecosystem in many ways to the detriment of the Americans' health. It is highly inflammatory by itself and it is processed into compounds which also modulate inflammation in other ways. See high fructose corn syrup and its inflammatory pathways. Processed corn products are a multi pronged attack on Americans' health. End corn subsidies.
I agree. There's no way to tell. I should have added likely.
I'm not trans but have several trans friends, and just wanted to add (as a non-trans person), make a best guess for how someone presents and if they correct you, do not joke about it. No jokes, no extra comments, Just say, "sorry, got it," and move on. It's a matter of respect and nothing more, and if you respect someone, it's easy to show it. Making a joke about something that's important (and possibly sensitive) to someone is just a bad start.
> Wait, hold on, what? I thought we were talking about food cooking barriers? I can understand the connection to free school lunch (make sure kids get one solid meal in them a day, if you can call government supplied cafeteria materials food), but, what?

I agree, I am in support of reducing income inequality etc but I feel like it is a bit dishonest to link these two issues so directly.

The low-income people I know cook at home more, not less. It's cheaper than processed junk if done correctly.

The article is poorly written. Nothing is defined. What is highly processed? How much of it? Is this diet typical of a significant number of people?

Plus, benefiting a majority of people is worthwhile even if those at the periphery are not helped.
> In some cases (I won't say which) they essentially launder profits through the "tech" parts of the company. They basically optimize for cheap people they bill out to the "real" company at some enormous fee.

Yeah the article really doesn't define "from scratch".

IMO some good chicken (there are varying levels of processing and quality out there so let's assume it's good), potatoes, and veggies can be done relatively quickly.

It still takes work to some extent but I'm not at all sure exactly what that article means by "from scratch". This article kinda sucks as it isn't at all clear what they're talking about.
The "soda tax" in Philly doesn't apply to Starbucks, there was some suggestion that it may of been purposefully excluded due to lobbying efforts though I haven't looked too deeply.

It looks like Seattle has a similar exemption: https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/politics/fancy-lat...

Exemptions like these make me pause, I can see the point of such a law (though I'm libertarian and not in favor) but when exemptions like that are made I find it hard to take seriously. If the state was concerned with sweetened beverages they would apply the same measures to all of them. Taxing or applying warning labels to soda alone strikes me as a classist move as if the lower classes are too dumb to read the nutrition information.
I understand how it works and I assume you can see the problem with this. The IPCC report is there to prove human impact on the climate it's not there to show IF humans have impact on the climate.

> And this is why getting private industry into space is what matters.

Really? that's an interesting conclusion to jump to. Maybe it would be easier to properly run the government than try to make companies that pretend to do the job of nation states?

Bezos is doing what he's doing precisely because he has the money to do it and not be beholden to profit motives. Saying "we should get private companies involved in space" comes with a HUGE asterix of "as long as they aren't beholden to profit motives".

And yes, spaceX is a thing but they're never going to turn a profit. The whole thing is a for profit company in name only.
To be fair, the banks got over 400+ billion in TARP money plus over 4 Trillion in newly printed Fed Reserve dollars to buy literally "toxic assets," synthetic mortgage-backed securities, and government debt purchased off their books to shore them up after they negligently destroyed themselves(1). Fundamental, necessary banking services which they are subsidized to perform are not rocket science, either. This was subsidizing risk-taking. This transfer of wealth to Wall St is by far the most egregious heist in the history of humanity.

(Cheap Eats: Cookbook Shows How To Eat Well On A Food Stamp Budget)
I think what would be better for everyone is highlighting say nutritional density of foods + perhaps how much processing occurred, and perhaps in percentages: steak, as an example and perhaps not correct, would be "100%" nutrient dense with "0%" processed.
One trick is getting the seasoning right, the other is getting the cooking times right.

An easy meal is to cut various vegetables up, season, and bake. Potato, green beans, onion, bell pepper, broccoli, whatever they have on sale. Of course the potato has to be e cut smaller than the broccoli or the broccoli will be disintegrated or incinerated by the time the potato is done cooking.

It was much easier to avoid though.

Busses on the Moon was the preserve of the Sunday Sport.

The Daily Heil or Sun reliably gave anti-trans, anti-EU - always anti-something, and hard right sympathy of the "we hate the NF/BNP, but immigrants should stop..." variety, occasionally far more blatant.

Most knew what they were avoiding, as well as what they were choosing from their daily.

Now thanks to facebook illegal political advertising and fringe groups like Britain First - who Facebook took years to ban - have gained a voice that reaches a very wide audience, where everyone appears as credible as everyone else if they can play the social media game.

Until it was eventually generally known what they were, Britain First stuff was shared by all sorts of people whose main failing was believing a story or meme someone shared - because it came from someone they knew.

We either expect everyone to be deeply untrusting and cynical of their friends and family all the time - which they're not and cannot be. Or we require some standards of Facebook, finally.
Time. Two working parents or one working single parent. Ideally just 40 hours a week, but could be more than that, depending on career field.

School for kids. After school if grades are struggling. Or after school if you're in an 'at-risk' category (see single parent or low income)

Formalized, scheduled, regimented sports/activities after school.

Formalized 'family bonding' events at schools or community centers that are, for all intents and purposes, required by societal pressures.

All of these things take time. Pre-made meals are an easy, convenient way to save time.

"fat head"
I mean, it's partially true. In cities there is such a thing as "food deserts" where it is hard to find fresh affordable groceries. But I admit, part of it is also just poor education/culture.

In the area I live, there are no affordable American grocery stores. There is, however, McDonald's and a Wendy's with cheap fast food.

If you are in the know, however, there is an affordable Latin American grocer that sells bulk rice, lentils, beans, tortillas, even some produce, etc. I almost never see Americans in there, but I see tons of El Salvadorian immigrants. Their culture involves cooking from raw ingredients more than ours though so I suspect they save a lot of money that way. Lentils, rice, and beans are way better for you than McChickens/fries.

What kind of problems do you hope to solve? Are there anything in particular you will use it for?
"I'm really not sure but I think it's important to look beyond just "haha, stupid managers, they can't make up their mind". There must be deeper reasons."

You might take it as evidence that, of all the myriad aspects of a business, scale far outweighs all other factors for generating a profit.

You don't have to be "good" (whatever that might mean) to generate profit, production costs just need to be marginally cheaper than your prices.

> can of beans

That's processed food. Perhaps healthier than other processed food, but not the same as cooking beans from scratch.

https://www.superfoodly.com/are-canned-beans-healthy/

And cooking beans from scratch involves about 5 minutes of labor, including soaking them overnight, throwing them in a pot, and setting an alarm for when they are done cooking.
Yes, throwing stuff on the grill absolutely counts.

It always surprises me when people say cooking is time consuming and expensive.

Fine, I get it, making venison stuffed artichokes with truffle sauce would be indeed difficult and pricey. But that's not what most people eat every day.

Take a cabbage head. Cut it. Add a spoon of lemon juice, two spoons of olive oil and a pinch of salt. Here's two out of five-a-day for a family of four. Price: under 3 dollars. Effort: 10 minutes. Skill: none required.

Boil potato (peeling is optional). Sprinkle with parmesan. Cheap. Tasty. Reasonably healthy. Under 5 minutes of active effort.

Floyd Martin retires after nearly 35 years as a mailman tomorrow
Trying to succeed as an entrepreneur for 10 years. Should I quit? Anyone else?
I wanted to become and entrepreneur my first business in my UG as a design studio was a huge success. Had many clients and made some money.

I built a product next only to become a failure. Later I tried launching one more company & 4-7 other software products which also failed or never saw the launch.

My friends who were leading a normal 9-5 day jobs are getting promoted to 6 figure salaries and Managements positions.

I am in my 30's. I do have a contract job as a designer now. But also trying to succeed as an entrepreneur on the side.

Feeling like I should just give up and try to catch up with the rest of the world.

When I try to see the future, I no longer see a successful entrepreneur. Instead a middle aged man with failures.

I am 30 now. I should choose the right path.

Anyone who went through the same and then either succeeded or gave up. I would like to know your views. Thanks a ton in advance.
I agree. I want to add the rumor that you can live on potatoes alone. At least one guy reported he did it for six weeks and the medical checks did not find any malnutrition. Don’t know how scientific that anecdote is, though.
A year ago, my son told me he was spending more money than we thought he should on groceries. So my wife and I decided to keep track of how much we spend on eating. This includes the very rare times we eat at restaurants, which might include a burger joint if we're stuck on the road somewhere, and high end restaurants for birthdays and anniversary.

I do all the cooking. I rarely use anything from a box or a can. That is, I make my own pasta and tomato sauce and pizza dough and sourdough bread, for example. I also use higher end recipes, not sloppy joe dinners, including steaks and chicken and I more often buy spices like parsley and oregano fresh and chop them myself and not dried in a jar.

The numbers came in, interestingly enough, at $187 each week on average every time. This is for my wife and myself alone plus (cause my wife said so) about $15 a week for our two dogs cause, you know, they're family, too.

For reasons I am not positive about, our weekly expenditure for the last three months has risen to $209 a week. It had appeared to me that items cost more than in the past but I was unsure till I ran the numbers just a couple of days ago. Have grocery prices gone up?

In any case, cooking well designed meals takes an effort. Once you find recipes you like and get used to making them, it's easier, but it will still take one to two hours for every meal without rushing. I work out of my house and two major grocery stores down the street so that makes things easier.

EDIT: I should add that I am in the Midwest USA.
