We can "just" start eating Pomegranates, absolutely. Personally, I find them pretty tasty, and they remind me of the Greek myth of Persephone's abduction by Hades. So I'm all for them.

But how much you'd need to eat for a clinically noteworthy benefit is the question. That's what the follow-on studies are for.

I don't know the situation in France, but in the UK it is possible to arrive with the knowledge of government, be documented and allowed to stay, and still be disallowed from working.

There are a significant number of people in this situation, and as you can imagine, it causes them great harm when it goes on for a long time, as well as hardship to their friends who provide them with support (housing, food, etc).

The Wikipedia page for the compound being discussed has a table of food and drink sources for it.

Not everyone’s body can create UA from these natural sources so the idea is to just make a pill for it that will work on anyone.
the context here was discussion of auto pilot, so irrelevant. but nonetheless, a lack of a speed limit does not imply uniformity of speeds traveled. some will go as fast as traffic and their vehicles allow them. others only as fast as they feel safe. others get adrenalin and dopamine hits from passing and weaving in and around other vehicles. I was driving 90+ moh and still got rear ended by someone going 100+ in Alabama.
So 2^8 is a warning, but 2^BITS_IN_BYTE is not? I don't think whether or not the preprocessor helped in making the expression is a good heuristic for whether or not it is a mistake.
I have come to believe that privacy and permissions logic tends towards the complexity of your product. Unless you’d consider having much of your application logic be in the data store via procedures or something like VoltDB’s jar based user defined functions, I’d be wary of putting permissions logic in the DB.
Programmers have a tendency to over-generalize stuff.

The idea that we need one true programming language, or one true GPU API, or one true text encoding, and use it everywhere, looks good on the surface. It’s when one digs deep enough into technical details, it became clear why people pick less portable technologies. It’s always about tradeoffs.

For GPU API, I think #1 reason is vendors support.

On PCs, Windows is _the_ target platform for majority of game developers. The only GPU API with first-party support is DirectX. GPU vendors do descent job supporting GL and VK there (except maybe Intel), but first-party support is still better. Major parts of D3D work in the kernel, dxgkrnl.sys does quite a lot of things.

On Android and many embedded Linuxes, it’s similar with GLES. Vulkan support is improving fast, I hope in a few years VK will replace GLES there, but so far there’re many older devices.

I live in Canada. I have a graduate degree in Equity stuides and have spent my life writing and working to fight racism, sexism and homophobia. It's death by a thousand cuts in the West.

C has an “exponentiation operator”, used in literals where you’d expect exponentiation in other languages: <<. (Sure, it’s limited to raising things to powers of 2, but when would you ever need to raise something to a non-power-of-2? :P)
If emerging markets are where growth & recovery is at, the US certainly won't compete there through protectionism. This isolationist approach to trade is just that... You can't have many 20B+ dollar companies if they're the only market is the US and it's saturated and we simply don't have the manufacturing capability at their expected cost and margin

Even if this entire comment thread were not a vast oversimplification of these markets, why would this be such a bad thing? Two main points to this:

1. The United States does not depend on manufacturing as the backbone to its' economic stability.

2. Emerging markets may use 'Chinese Technology' during periods of major growth, but as those emerging markets mature they will likely require the stability provided by the mature incumbents of the field*

* as long as those incumbents keep pace with the overall technological development.

Funny you mention that because co-habiting the front page of HN right now along with this thread is news that Madza is removing touch screens from its in-car systems. Tactile buttons are best when operating a machine that requires focus. Being able to reach for and feel a button, lever, or dial while focusing on driving is way safer than having to stare a a small screen to press the right area.
I have one myself. But it is important to know its limitations -- most notably a maximum of 32K (which like on a modern smartphone, is both RAM and storage). So you are at best going to be writing very short documents. Which is why it was very popular among newspaper journalists writing columns in the field -- they would use a modem to transfer their column (often only a few paragraphs) to their editor.
I like the intermediate position: enable -Werror for development builds (which for QEMU means "builds from head-of-git"), leave things as just warnings for (source) releases, and give the user an escape hatch (eg a configure --disable-werror option) in case they need it. Enforcing warning-free compiles for the average developer is really useful for maintaining a minimum quality bar, so it's good to find a way to keep that without annoying people who might be compiling from source but are essentially 'end-users' of it.
Hulu didn't work on my Samsung for the first 3-4 months. One day they updated and it did. I started using FireTV because of it.

"You're choosing to ignore the fact that computers still make mistakes."

No, but I'll unequivocally assert that the human false alarm rate is much higher than that of computers.

"My friend's car (an Acura) recently slammed on the brakes @ 70mph because it mistakenly thought a car in an adjacent lane was in his lane. Had there been someone following close behind him, it probably would've caused an accident."

Does it have a readout indicating what it "thought"?

It seems possible that the car in the other lane drifted, and the computer thought it was changing lanes into the Acura. Braking was appropriate in that circumstance.

"This is not an uncommon occurrence, especially with Honda/Acura's system. You can find tons of complaints online about AEB systems reacting to false positives."

That may be, and I suspect a fix will be forthcoming which will address every Honda/Acura on the road (or new models, worst case).

Meanwhile, humans will continue to look down at a text, hamburger, or whatever, and then panic when a few seconds later they look up and think they're in trouble. Not to mention driving tired, drunk, high, angry, or stupid.
New Hampshire, for what it’s worth, also has a highway marker commemorating an alien abduction. Located on the southbound side of highway 3 through Franconia Notch, it reads.

Betty and Barney Hill Incident

On the night of September 19-20, 1961,
Portsmouth, NH couple Betty and Barney Hill
experienced a close encounter with an
unidentified flying object and two hours of
"lost" time while driving south on Rte 3 near
LIncoln. They filed an official Air Force
Project Blue Book report of a brightly-lit
cigar-shaped craft the next day, but were not
public with their story until it was leaked
in the Boston Traveler in 1965. This was the
first widely-reported UFO abduction report
in the United States.

I do definitely find it annoying that it defaults to playing whatever audio source you last used when you start up your car. Whenever I have a passenger, I have a slight moment of panic as I try to remember what's about to play through the speakers, and whether it's appropriate for them to hear.

>Every button on that shuttle will do the same thing every time you press it.

I agree with you in spirit, but would disagree with this particular point. Apollo had an erroneous "Abort" signal because a particular switch didn't do what it was supposed to, because it had some interesting failure modes in zero-gravity.

I think is dangerous to assume that one design is flawless over the other; both touch-screens and mechanical systems have their own unique failure modes. Maybe one is more reliable than the other, which I think is currently the case here.
Hosts files need to be set up per device, and some devices don't implement hosts files.

A scan where you verify what the computer is telling you and cross checking it with what you're seeing could be. Maybe they have a UI showing the path the computer is taking and bounding boxes of all the potential obstacles overlayed on the screen. If there is a disagreement the human takes over.

Similar to how if on an instrument approach the altitude doesn't agree with the vertical guidance. You can check other systems to see which instrument has failed and whether it's the vertical guidance or altimeter.

Of course, this method of driving and having to pay more attention doesn't jive with the fantasy of getting wasted and having a computer take you home.
Just because there is a design moving forward does not mean there is not a considerable amount of discussion/dissent/disagreement on the approach.

Flag bits should be combined with | not ^
pomegranates and raspberries as well

"A compound called urolithin A (UA) was the focus of the study, after previous experiments with it showed promise in extending the lifespans of worms and mice. The compound appears to fight aging by improving the function of mitochondria – the energy-producing part of a cell – in a way similar to the benefits of exercise. While it's not found naturally in any known food, biomolecules in fruits like pomegranates and raspberries do break down into UA in the human gut"

We’re talking about a parse-time check; things that resolve to those values after identifier binding won’t throw the warning. It’s not a warning about what you wrote (semantically), it’s a warning about how you wrote it (syntactically).

The general west hears very little about Japanese government as a rule. So I don't have any reason to believe or disbelieve you. All we get are the culture's good bits, but maybe never see the underbelly. Maybe we'll hear something if there's a controversy, or about the new emperor since it was a novelty, but that's it. So that's very interesting to hear about Chinese-Japanese relations.

Funny enough, if you just skim this article, it seems to prop up Japan as a underdog model state. Reading into it a bit more has more detail, but I know at least several people who just read the bullet points of articles like this, and walk away with whatever they got. I wonder if this is a contribution to the push, but it might be that this is what is in the news right now, and this is what politicians in the west are talking about. (Or at least what the media is reporting)

I think the thing to watch for is next year's US elections. The two parties in the US are somewhat similar on a global scale, but the differences that do exist between them are really important for these relations, and has the potential to improve things, rather than continuing to polarize them. Either way, the US was divided almost in half by population last election, (the majority didn't even vote for the Republican offices, but that's not how the election system works,) so it seems at least say that there is a large number of people that do not hold the same opinions as their government.
> "Here's my 2006 iPod if you want music, or unplug it and plug in your phone if you want"

Well, your 2006 iPod still uses a 3.5mm analog port. But that newfangled phone over there needs a new $400 Apple USB Thunderlightning Wireless Port. And your car doesn't seem to have an interface for that.
Let me clarify - you're saying that just because we can't catch all programming mistakes means we shouldn't bother catching any, even though this is a pretty solid example of one that would be worthwhile and easy to do?
The point is very specifically cases where X is a decimal literal (not an expression such as 1 << x, or a hex number).

Things that resolve to this don't trigger the warning, and it is a compile time warning.

I lived in socialistic country in Eastern Europe and government DID try to cover it up. There were no new for at last several days. Then they said everything is fine, go outside, eat vegetables, drink mil, everything is OK.. it is just Western propaganda that there are problems. We trust our comrades in Soviet Union. While the news in Western Europe was: Minimize your stay outside. Do not drink mil. Do not eat vegetables (the farmers in West were actually destroying crops so it cannot be consumed).
Thats frustrating. Not trying to be snarky, but did you notice this while test driving?

The Impossible Project of Evading Urban Surveillance
I've been saying this for a couple years now. Naysayers don't fully understand the problem. There is no safe way to do self driving on our current roads in all climates without at least some infrastructure enhancements. Pretty much any of those enhancements you can imagine are orders of magnitude cheaper than building dedicated roads, which is the only other sufficiently safe option. The moment we start trying to take the driver out of the equation for real en masse, this will become obvious to everyone.
Yeah, and it's interesting how in English "cinnamon" and "cannabis" both start with "c*nna". Almost as if they're both using a common root.

> Uber's tech is simple and easily replicable.

The same can be said for web shops like Amazon. The tech is nothing special, but the brand and network are. The promise of Uber is in becoming a trusted brand, with capacity everywhere, and convenient enough that you don't bother looking to the competition. That said, whether they can actually become this is another question.
Yeah... gotta give that guy props. To launch his career with something so ridiculous and bold as the MillionDollarHomepage would have been enough. Love it that he kept going!

If they’ve raised capital for a series of clinical trials, you can reasonably assume the doses at which they expect to see clinical effects are much higher than you’re likely to get just from food ingestion - otherwise their competition would just be pomegranate juice pills or something, sold as a food supplement and requiring no trials of safety or efficacy. They’d never have been able to raise a cent.

In other words, no one would fund a penicillin trial if they thought people could get by eating moldy bread from GNC.
> So even if your chart spans several hundreds of miles, the latitude scale remains constant across that distance regardless of the distortions of the projection.

I don't believe that is correct. The latitude scale of a Mercator projection chart will not be constant because the projection introduces some distortion. So 1NM at the top of the chart will not be the same distance as 1NM at the bottom of the chart. For this reason, you should always place your dividers roughly in the area you are going to be sailing in.

As I recall from my Yachtmaster course, the difference is not usually that great for day to day stuff, but for planning long passages on small scale charts it could be a significant error.
literally NONE of the arguments brought up in that post contradict the facts. Who gives a fuck about how the US government feels towards Edward Snowden? How does that prove that the Dutch are lying? It makes zero goddamn sense.
On the flip side, the Nissan Leaf with premium audio is an example of physical controls done wrong. Everything is buttons with no tactile way to home your hand, you have to take your eyes off the road to fine the right button.

Blackout hits tens of millions in South America
In the 2015 Mazda I drive, they allow touch under 5 mph (I think?) But I installed Android Auto using third-party/open source software (and touch is always-on.)

By default on your phone, plugged into the car, you have to swipe/unlock Android Auto, but if you're parked, you can do that, and access your apps, including Google Maps. You can set your destination, and it immediately opens on the car screen. I'm completely fine with this model of interface - when parked, use your phone.

However, having said all that, if you still want to use a wheel, it's important they hit the right UI. In a BMW I rented, the way it only showed relevant letters while searching for an address (using the wheel) was pretty good and I was able to type in an address surprisingly quickly, even on my first time of using the software. Probably still not quite as quick as using a touch screen, but close enough.

I suspect that when you allow touchscreen as your fallback, it's harder to be "really good" about making a good wheel + button UI. It's too easy to lean on your crutch.
Elon Musk says he deleted his Twitter account
>>Uber Eats and competitors including Stuart, a French app, and Glovo, based in Spain, said they were aware of misconduct. “We’re concerned because these are illegal practices in which people are profiting from the vulnerability of others,” said Nicolas Breuil, global marketing manager for Stuart.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

Uber et al have for years argued that driver/riders are not employees. If they aren't employees then they are contractors. One of the basic definitions of contractors is that they may subcontract. To call subcontracting "illegal" is a stretch. It may be a violation of a clause in the contract, but it isn't a crime. Use of illegal labourers is a crime, but the simple act of having someone other than the original contractor deliver the food isn't.

If Uber wants to deal with a particular person and ensure that only that person handles the actual labor, Uber is free to HIRE that person.
