I have. There are a ton glass packages in my fridge and pantry right now that came from grocery stores. Maybe keep your eyes peeled next time you go to the store and look for yourself.

Mustard, olives, oil, beer!, pickles, apple sauce, cocktail sauce, salsa, spaghetti sauce, mayonnaise, anchovies, archichoke hearts, various ground spices, balsamic vinegar salad dressing, and much much more. That's just a small sampling of the glass packaged foods I've bought from the grocery store in 2019.

If glass is such a logistics nightmare, then why is the pickle industry still using it? Because it actually not a logistics nightmare. It weights a bit more, and it's a bit more fragile, but neither are a serious enough factor to actually remove glass containers from the market. Beer you might say is a high margin item, except there are a lot of really cheap beers that come in glass. My six-pack of coors light is not exactly a $20 bespoke hyper-IPA west coast microbrew, you know what I mean? It's in the same price (and class) range as a six-pack of Al-canned rolling rock. Also my glass jar of pickles were the dirt cheap generic brand pickles.

Thanks but no thanks. I'm a moderate consumer of wine and I just love it. It's good for health, it supplements food in a great way, it rarely gets you drunk and it tastes great. Sure, if you can't hold your liquor eventually it will kill but so will do everything you eat or drink if you consume it in great quantities.
Social media is the new smoking not sugar
> Things don't get better once you consider their power lines, at $285,000 per mile you are looking at $95,000 just to run power to their home and all adjacent homes.

Recently looked into this. New rural developments have to paid to get power lines run to the corner of their property (in western states, anyway). If your immediate neighbor has power (which they paid to run) this will cost the resident tens of thousands of dollars, depending on the distance. If you don't have an immediate neighbor with power, you're SOL.

> Then add in water + sewage, at $25.18 per foot, lets say to all the same houses getting power, that is an additional $86,619.

Rural areas are predominantly septic tanks and well water. Paid for by residents. The only utility most rural residents get is power.

> You also probably want modern internet connectivity (cable, fiber) you are looking at another $10,000 per household.

Give me a break. This doesn't happen in rural areas. Hel, go 15 mins/miles outside a densely populated area and your internet/cable options drop below third world standards.

> Assuming there is 5% maintenance per year for all this infrastructure, that is $16,230.95 a year.

Considering rural developments pay to have power run to them, this strikes me as a
pretty good deal for power companies.

Meanwhile, there is a trade-off here. In densely populated areas you're looking at complex/dense in-ground sewer, gas and electrical lines that likely cost a magnitude more than the rural equivalent. Sure at a certain population density this becomes economical, but many urban areas don't meet this standard. Take SF for example.

For example, a residential well can be drilled for ~$15k in my area. A septic tank large enough for a home would be ~$10k. When the well runs dry or the septic is full it's the resident that pays.
Sugar is needed for yeast to raise the dough. It's common everywhere not in the US alone. I'm in Europe and most bread has sugar added during preparation. Small amounts but still sugar.
Source available is useful for debugging at least. I sure wish I had 'source available' when making iOS apps!
Those systems are fun but not practical anymore. Anything you can do on a network connected computer will be faster, easier, cheaper, etc.
I agree it's a peculiar system to use for benchmarking in 2018, but for comparison purposes it shouldn't matter much as long as the same software/hardware are used for both Make and SCons.

There's definitely some mental gymnastics and careful massaging going on to hide the performance problem. Would be a great example for a "How to lie with charts and graphs" article.
The quote is very interesting but I'd add something. Most of our dreads started after teenagehood, when social bonding was of high importance. Yet it often becomes a diplomatic effort, often void of real emotion. Real is too strong, but it's not vibrant nor fun most of the time. It's smalltalk. And we keep at it because as an adult it's deemed very important, even though, younger, relationships didn't center around mild chat, it was about having fun, cracking jokes, sharing a childish venture, getting something happy about the interaction.

ps: ah well, universe is poking fun at me, a very old friend just sent me a text after many months :)
Not being able to produce and deliver promised 35k cars would have been a worse option. Doing so with the originally planned configurations would have been complex, disruptive, and possibly killed the company during a vulnerable time. Instead, customers are getting way better cars than originally planned (better seats, better roof, software-upgradable features).

FYI: This article is referring to requiring sugary products to use plain packaging:

> ...suggested sweets, snacks and sugary drinks should be wrapped in plain packaging to make them less appealing, given the excess consumption of the sweet stuff

(I think some of the responses here are assuming the question is about treating sugar like smoking in other respects.)

ZFS doesn't work that way: it works on pools of storage. Disks are added to the pool.

Filesystems (or datasets) are carved out of a pool, not out of physical disks directly. There are vdevs on top of physical disks.

That's like people who are stuck back in the '80's because of ext3 arguing that ZFS is crap because it doesn't come with fsck or "some sort of repair tool" -- they just can't wrap their head around the ZFS concepts.
I'd like to see where you've heard that promise. The only thing close to that I have heard is that farmers can take similar steps to stop unwanted plants on their fields that they already do.
Exercise is important especially for your brain but bad nutrition has a much higher impact than no exercise.
I just checked out Riot. Looks nice.
This. And the possibility space is daunting. And many of the changes can unfold drastically faster than sea level rise. Consider things like:

The difference in the number destabilizing European politics, compared to the numbers at risk of displacement via sea level rise.

The potential for people to be displaced by shifting weather patterns. How many years of draught, wildfire, dust-storms, crop failure, 500-year floods, weeks-long power outages, etc. will it take to permanently displace people? Will the die-roll throw these effects at low-productivity, low-population areas, or will some hit breadbaskets, transportation nexuses, industrial centers, or cities?

Or will the people bearing the brunt of these effects stubbornly stay put, and disrupt internal politics by repeatedly rebuilding with taxpayer assistance?

I think the distinction trying to be made here is that Chinese, Hongkongers, and Taiwanese people don't see themselves as westerners. Posters aren't saying that they shouldn't fight for basic human rights, but rather that basic human rights aren't "western", they are human. We being westerners should be proud that we have laws like this, but that doesn't mean we need to impose everything western on others. It also doesn't mean that our fight for basic human rights is fundamentally western. Just the same way it isn't American, British, German, etc. They are basic human rights after all, and last I checked these people are still humans.

TLDR: basic human rights doesn't mean you have to identify as western.
And that worked out.
> there would be no way to determine what part of the stream had been sampled

So the problem become to determine the offset of the stream you looked at, which is an integer that probably fits in 64 bits.
As awesome as the original post is, for me the best part of this was becoming aware of Michael Larson and Press Your Luck. Just a great story.
Precisely. They either wish its demise (“Bitcoin sucks and/or it’s dumb”) or they want to invent a new game (“buy my altcoin!!”) in hopes that it generates the same success.

I’m pretty convinced that anti-Bitcoin sentiment will be forgotten and/or disdained in a few decades.
Devops usually means "it's faster and cheaper because we don't have a dedicated sysadmin". The union of good developers and good syadmins is narrow like that of developers and designers.
Ehhh, unfortunately I don't think it is that clear cut. Otherwise you're left arguing that gays either made a choice to be gay or were raised to be gay.

I find that there is much more smoking (including indoor) and drinking in Denmark than most of any other place I lived, or maybe I am just older now and can’t the hangovers are much longer??
{ "Advertising increases demand for a product.", "Banning advertising does not reduce demand for a product." }

I think you really do gotta pick one there, because each implies the other's opposite.

You don't really even need two different studies to demonstrate "demand is higher in the presence of advertising" and "demand is lower in the absence of advertising". It's mathematically impossible to experimentally demonstrate one without also demonstrating the other.

Not entirely sure where I'm going with this. But I would say that failure to prove that a group of people responds to advertising is not the same thing as proving that a group of people does not respond to advertising. So, if we really have demonstrated that banning advertising didn't have an effect on demand for alcohol in Russia, we'd expect to also see that alcohol companies don't even want to advertise their products in Russia, because they know it would just be wasting money. Do we see that?
Not all sugar is actually processed by the body the same though.

Fructose gets processed in the liver whereas glucose goes into the blood stream triggering insulin response.

Other very fine points are glycemic index, for example a low glycemic index food breakdown to glucose, bypassing the liver, but is absorbed into the bloodstream relatively slowly for glucose and minimizes the insulin spike/response promoting more stable blood sugar levels.

Is it because large American cos are lobbying against such rules ?
Why not both? :-) While the architecture is more similar to CMake, Meson's language reminds me of SCons---but it is a custom DSL and not Python, which makes things less surprising. For example in SCons a single-element list can be replaced with with the element itself, but that is a feature of SCons's builtins: if you write custom Python code, you can have confusing results when you place a string in a place where you must use a list of strings.

Also SCons is Turing complete and this makes it a bit of a stretch to call the language declarative; Meson keeps simple loops but is not Turing complete and the maintainers are okay with plans/pull requests that make Meson even more declarative. In Meson generally "there is only one way to do it", in SCons much less so which is ironic given it uses Python as the language.
IMO - high, but let me explain... We were also under regulation. Annnnd we also had a giant target painted on our back at all times due to information that would be of immediate use to an attacker.

It all comes down to chain of trust. When it comes down to a root password, or any secret that's business-critical you want to minimize ANY sort of risk and that's just the right way to do business.

When I point my scraper at random.org I can see it talks to "ocsp.digicert.com", "ajax.googleapis.com", "ssl.google-analytics.com", and obv. "random.org" (wow that's actually pretty good =P)... those are now three separate entities that now need trust because they all have the opportunity to see what was rendered on that page in plaintext, they have the opportunity to see what you selected, etc.

Then add to that, any browser plugin, the browser itself, etc etc. Then the "in plaintext over screenshare" issue - and you've got a lot of points where something, or someone could MiTM a plaintext password if they wanted/needed.

Generating a random password/secret by visiting a public site on the internet is stupid/silly with regards to actual security, and opens yourself to attack vectors _for no real reason_. There are a TON of VERY QUICK/EASY ways to generate a very secure string for secret management that don't involve trusting a ton of third parties =|

In a "security culture conscious" SF tech company there should be no place for laziness/lack of care like that. IMO - dumb compromises like that are how you get caught with your pants down leaking a ton of PII.
No. Bureaucracy hell is bad as well. The least amount of rules that can keep us on the sane path the better.

It's less than one flat teaspoon per loaf, and most of that is metabolised by the yeast. You can do without it, but it takes much longer to rise.
Sounds like fun tech, albeit creepy af. I can see the benefits of using facial recognition for employee tracking, but I hope employers understand that they're asking more from their employees than what's normal. I would consider requiring this tech to be an extraordinary breach of personal privacy, and the company would have to compensate extra for forcing me to use it.

If that's all factored in then sure, this could be pretty useful.
I think keto is even lower on carbs. At most 20-30g per day (only nuts and vegetables, basically).

But, obviously, like 99% of people, the parent poster lacks the willpower to do that. wink wink
Would limiting alcohol advertising really have that dramatic an effect on the 'good' wine market? I can't recall the last time I bought a decent bottle of wine because it was advertised.
It'd be much harder than cigarettes to define and enforce, and more prone to loopholes. What's a "sugary food"? Grams of sugar? They'd just sell fun-sized. Percentage mass? That could impact fruit. Added sugar? What is "non-added sugar"? Specific product categories like soda and candy? They'd just walk the line with things like "sweetened sparkling water".

I support the idea in principle, and I hope they figure out a way to define it, but it'll be hard.
Wild guess because most of the technology we use is from America (Facebook, Google, Twitter, ...).

Ok, of the carbs in white bread here there is 0.6% sugar. That's completely negligible and now what I'm referring to at all. I am talking about added sugar where it will be 10-20% of the carbs in the white "bread" (I consider that pastry :D).
To clarify: writing "productive" i wanted to include reading studies, studying, networking (to some degree) and so forth, basically everything which isn't "watching the latest tv-show while having a beer". Even working out could qualify, but somewhere around there I draw the line.

If it's beneficially for you professionally: I deem it productive.
The UN, particularly at that time (1948), was a creation and creature of the western world. The drafting committee was chaired by Eleanor Roosevelt: http://research.un.org/en/undhr/draftingcommittee. Of the nine drafters, six were from a western country (US, UK, France, Australia, and Chile). Two (the ROC delegate and the Lebanese delegate) were educated in the US. (The ROC delegate moved to New Jersey and lived there until his death). The other delegate was from Russia, which is a mostly western country.

I started eating keto over a year ago, and found that I totally lost my appetite for sugary and other carb-based foods, so have just kept it up.

One thing that was eye opening to me was from paying close attention to food labels. I used to try to mostly eat "healthy", so I'd tend to buy the "low calorie" options. What surprised me was how basically they just substitute fat for sugar. Ceasar dressing normal has 1g carbs and 4g fat per Tbsp (45 cal), but low calorie is 4g carbs and 1.5g fat per Tbsp (30 cal). This adds up, and I think I was actually eating a pretty unhealthy balance of macronutrients (fat/protein/carbs) while thinking I was eating healthy, despite my BMI slowly creeping up over a decade to being middle of "overweight" (I'm now in the middle of "normal" range, just from changing my diet).

Well I think treating sugar like smoking is far too extreme, I do think the demonization of fat along with the addition of excess sugar to "healthy" food options is a terrible combination, and that needs to end.
The jobs were in other places too, but generally people with money move away from less desirable to more desirable places. How many people desire to move to a place is shown by the prices people are willing to pay.
Sure, once there's a some-other-license re-implementation of blender it's fair game. Pretty sure there isn't one though?
That was pretty cool. Thank you! I wish they talked a little more about the difficulties they faced and how they solved them. If I remember correctly Ton Roosendaal once said one of the purposes of the Blender Open Movie project is to showcase the Blender is capable of handling complex large projects. After 4 open movie project it must have matured enough that Tangent Animation was able to solve most of their problems themselves! Awesome!
I signed up for Blendle, and even went there when I hit a paywall a few times. The problem is that news organizations value their content too highly, probably because they are very concerned about cannibalizing their subscription revenue, and it turns out I was never willing to shell out $0.50+ for an article.
Then you have to manage a million different AWS accounts. Each of them may be set up differently.
They aren’t using your social graph, they are using location proximity and transmitting the data inside existing packets sent to cell towers for connectivity purposes. There’s already a ton of information passing to cell towers to identify and negotiate connections with phones that could be used to infer your social graph. You’d have to correlate that with a geo location database that knows about what type of locations you visit as there would be tremendous amounts of false signals at public places like restaurants and malls.

Long story short, Apple, cell tower operators, and mobile providers already have all the data they’d need to make these graphs. If this functions as designed, it will contain much less information and wouldn’t be useful for this purpose (I.e. encrypt requests and don’t pass IP info with them to any systems that have the ability to decrypt them. If you make a few hops to the systems which have the ability to decrypt them and don’t share correlation IDs or the origin IP, there’s no way to correlate these requests back to which device sent them or what IP or cell tower it had).
One of the things that can be done about this is to increase funding for the arts and arts education.

You have a point. Tbh I might consider doing some of that work just for the experience, but I've also done a few odd jobs in the past that involve that sort of thing. Also doing amateur theatre exposes you to a ton of random folk outside of the tech bubble.
Linux’s exception is because you need its header files to compile c code that uses the kernel. If someone created an extension that provided a json api to blendr, it seems that would need to be open source but callers would not since nothing would need to be compiled against gpl code.
Alcohol helps people socialize and is significantly harder to get addicted to. It's also far less harmful when consumed in moderation, no matter how many elusive studies want to push how "there is no safe alcohol dosage" because you might have 15% more risk of cancer in 30 years or something. I agree advertising is bad but you're going to have a hell of a hard time convincing billions of people that they should stop socializing the easy way.

Perhaps, but you may not always know ahead of time which one it's going to be if you let towns grow organically to become cities (or not).

Building entirely new government planned cities on the green field is extremely difficult to get right. You're not just building infrastructure, you're effectively designing a social environment. What if it doesn't attract the right mix of people? What if it collides with democratic and legal rights of neighboring communities?
