Looking at the Joe Camel case, it doesn't appear to have hinged on "tobacco" per se:

"The FTC charged that R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, the seller of Camel cigarettes, promoted an addictive and dangerous product through a campaign that was attractive to those too young to purchase cigarettes legally."

I wonder how long it will be before we can synthesize food directly from electricity and basic elements? I suspect it's coming relatively soon for fats.

Imagine a ball of fat plus a glass of water for lunch. Yummy!!! :)
That's not what Godel showed.
Why do synthetic chemicals seem more toxic than natural ones?
But will anyone actually currently alive actually see it? If the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay liquid, how are we supposed to be able to predict when this is going to happen? Also, surely change is inevitable, but who is to say it's going to become as the article says. Reads too much like a prophecy for my liking.

> In fall of 2011, when a forced lull in kernel development gave him a chance to start a new project, Linux creator Linus Torvalds decided to tackle his frustration with the lack of decent divelog software on Linux.

> Linus worked with a team of developers, and Subsurface is the result. It now supports Linux, Windows and MacOS and allows data import from many dive computers and several existing divelog programs. It provides a quick and easy way to see the key information provided by a modern dive computer and lets users track a wide variety of data about their dives. In fall of 2012 Dirk Hohndel took over as Subsurface maintainer.

Well, you must have been a particularly naive kid. The basic flow of attraction into addiction is not very hard to understand, especially when you're constantly warned about it. But the fact remains that nicotine is a satisfying nootropic that half of the world enjoys, and it doesn't have any proven effect on neurological development. Kids have been picking up smoking in high school for ages, and you're complaining that they're using a healthier alternative instead. You wanna stop kids from getting fucked up on substances? Why don't we take a closer look at prescription amphetamine or weed?

>>They have some brilliant marketing people working for them.

These people are not brilliant. They are utterly deceitful. To go along with this shit in this day and age is utterly contemptible. Imagine all the people and the planning and the brainstorming to come up with such a trick - how can any of them not feel really really bad and storm out of the room?

I find this doc confusing. In the blue box it appears that all external IPv4 addresses will be charged, but in the paragraph immediately below, it says:

> If you reserve a static external IP address but do not use it, you will be charged […]. If you reserve a static external IP address and use it […] you will not be charged for it.

This seems like two very different kinds of charges. So is Google changing its policy with just one blue box? Or is the documentation in error? I suppose it's the former but it's not clear.
I agree - Everything was cool right up to the point where Japan started buying skyscrapers in NY then they became evil. But I would also agree before this gained any real traction, the Japan era was over. I think the issue with China is different. I think there are numerous unresolved tensions — too many to even enumerate here - that the US is unlikely to see China as anything but a competitor and vice versa. While I think it’s possible to avoid a conventional war, neither country seems to have thought about the consequences of an outright cyber war nor has either party developed any of the cyber stalemate equivalents that have kept nuclear war from happening so far.

It doesn't seem to me that the new things stray much from the "real but not necessarily actually done in the humanity's past" path. Colonies and mining is what you did (or at least many people did) after nailing their first couple landings and dockings. It's what real people in real space exploration business want to do, it's what they're preparing to do.

The video seemed very realistic to me, in the hard sci-fi, "this is how it might look like under constraints of known physics and technology" way. The most outlandish things they've shown on KSP2 video are Orion and Daedalus rockets, rings for centrifugal gravity, and domed greenhouses, all of which are things taken out of real plans done decades ago, and have no reason for not working in reality except that we run out of funding for Space Race 40 years ago. There's also precedent with original KSP, which had its version of NERVA nuclear-thermal rocket engine, which never flown in space either.

While elastic IPs are free for an active instance, AWS does charge for unused EIPs[1]. (You can also set a public IP on an instance, but it can change when the instance is restarted.) So if you need to hold on to an IPv4 address, it's going to cost you.

That seems like it's exactly the same model as GCP.

Seeking a tech-cofounder too to build a SaaS around the restaurant industry, machine learning and reviews.

I have the idea, mockups and validation done - need to build and ship - but I’m open to collaborate on the existing concept. I’m pretty self critical and highly collaborative.

About me, 34yo, well-connected, 15 years experience, exGoogle / Microsoft and some other large corps as well as Series A startups, investor relationship and VC fundraising experience. My last gig was as a Chief Revenue Officer (acting CEO) for the fastest growing F&B tech startup in my region. We acquired 5000 restaurants in a year or so.

Partnered with UberEats, Deliveroo, Zomato, WhatsApp and a bunch of other F&B tech leaders (as well as smaller players). I’m pretty well connected in my region and have zero issue to build a relationship to virtually anyone, if business needs.

Studied at Harvard / Columbia / MIT (not for the bachelor though, that was back in Italy). But realistically, I’m self taught in any aspect.

I’m fluent in digital, business, sales and marketing. A bit of a tech geek but I can’t code. Whatever else digital, I’m able to ace it.

As I understand, you are a full stack? Are you looking at a cofounder CTO position?

Also where are you located? I’m in Europe.

Let me know if this sounds interesting. Happy to talk.
React has a server-side rendering API. So, I find it difficult to rationalize an argument where FB purposefully launched React to get people to return virtually empty HTML documents from the server (at most, a script tag which "boots up" the page content) in order to make the task of indexing difficult.

Facebook indexes many sites themself for link preview functionality. Preview images, page title, description are all derived from open graph tags.
>Juno College of Technology: JCT is creating the technical university of the future. The startup operates a coding bootcamp, expected to do $3 million in revenue by the end of 2019.

How is it different from Lambda School? It’s not apparent from their website other than it’s based in Canada and they have a physical campus in Toronto.

Barely significant results like this are suspect. See https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2017/7/31/16021654/p-... for a good overview. TLDR: the smart money is on this result failing to reproduce.
I agree, but the suspicion is not cost-free. When people accuse each other recklessly of being astroturfers, shills, spies, or otherwise fakes, they do real damage to this community. If that becomes the culture here—which frankly it feels on the cusp of—it could kill the community. Therefore we need users to exercise some self-control and not simply vent their suspicions incontinently into the threads out of frustration at how wrong they feel someone is. If after that they still feel there's cause for suspicion, they are welcome to email hn@ycombinator.com so we can look for actual evidence.

One thing I saw was during my mobile litmus test (Chrome developer tools set to iPhone 5SE), it didn't render using the full screen width, being offset left. Checking the element dimensions confused me because they matched those given for the device. Perhaps an issue in Chrome I'm using (76.0.3809)--when I inspect I see that the root element width of 320x568 matches that stated for the device. Looks fine on other device emulations with more than 400 pixels of width.

There is always a lot of skepticism around studies that show fluoridation is bad for health. Question though, shouldn't we need strong evidence that adding fluoride to the water is safe, rather than the other way around? Even if it has some (questionably) positive effects, that doesn't make it right to add an arbitrary chemical to a fundamental substance needed for life. While we are at it, why don't we add iodine, vitamin D, magnesium, etc?
Only speaking as anecdata, but yeah, I had asthma, and I've just avoided all forms of smoking as much as possible. Vaping does present itself as a safe alternative, though, whether actually true or not. It's possible for someone to be misled and think they have nothing to worry about.

Also I used to inhale cigarette smoke second-hand in restaurants and bars when that was still legal. I don't think my asthma got any worse from it that I am aware of (although I am very thankful that's no longer a thing anymore... tried going to a casino in a state where it's still legal recently and coughed like crazy... I was only there to see Penn and Teller perform).

> the state-controlled media has actively promoted the view that these factors are the most important

Or those are the most important factors and that's why they are optimizing for them first. Carville's slogan for Bill Clinton was "It's the economy, stupid", and it's plausible at least. What good does a healthy environment if you don't have food to eat? What good does economic progress if you don't have security? The West has operated very similarly imho, we're just further along. Environmentalism is still fairly young, and so are today's social safety nets (well, in Europe anyway). I don't see a reason why the Chinese wouldn't follow on that route (and indeed they are starting to care for the environment more).

> In a liberal democracy, on the other hand, people expect much more responsiveness to their concerns. And people tend to value freedom of expression and freedom from suppression.

But that's only because the basic needs are generally taken care of. I don't see any liberal democracy valuing freedom over food security (en masse, certainly some happily value their freedom over the food security of others in society).

Anybody dumb enough to still think cigarettes are good for you these days can't be helped. Its not big bad tobacco's fault.

And obviously they want to minimize negatively advertising themselves, thats what companies do. You can only expect them to sabotage their sales so far. But I have seen no evidence that they are purposefully marketing to kids. It'd be pretty dumb to seeing all the trouble and negative attention even the whiff of being accused of doing so is bringing. Hollywood even these days when they are selfconscious about it is still probably doing more to promote the image of smoking. Heck when's the last time you've even seen an add for regular cigs period?

If you think smoking should be outlawed go ahead and outlaw smoking. Otherwise how much further do you expect the companies to go? Wire their packs to give people electric shocks?
> Why was Encarta so good?

Simply put: It was accessible, interactive and enabled users to find information at a pace that wasn't really achievable through other means.

I first used Encarta when I was in the 6th grade, in order to find information for an essay I was writing. The local library had just gotten a new PC with a CD-ROM drive, and the librarian suggested I use Encarta as it was brand new, while any books they had on the subject would be rather old and outdated.

I got down behind the PC, launched Encarta and I was simply blown away. This was my first real multi-media experience and while computers were becoming mainstream in the early 90's, I simply hadn't seen anything like it before. Sure, an Amiga could play music and simple videos, and a fast 486 could decode MPEG video, but hard drives back then were typically less than 100 MB and the amount of storage allowed by CD-ROM's allowed Encarta to be an (until then) unparalleled experience.

Remember, until then, you'd have to use card indexes in order to find the right book about the subject, then look for the book and hope nobody else had borrowed it. With Encarta, it was as simple as typing in a search term and finding the results. Instantly. Internet wasn't really a thing back then - I'd heard about it, it existed, but it didn't reach the general populace until around '94-'95, and there simply wasn't anything comparable until Wikipedia came along.

There's some warranted skepticism with that premise.

Microsoft was one of the largest software companies on the planet already by 1980 and among the few software companies in existence of any market relevance or development capability that could appeal to a company the size of IBM.

They did $8 million in sales in 1980, $26 million adjusted to 2019. That was a massive software business at the time, and only five years old.

Bill Gates was far richer than his family by 1980, at the age of 25. Microsoft's margins were extreme back then, 40% to 50% on that $8m. Gates was worth $100+ million inflation adjusted by the end of 1980.

That success was accomplished without using family connections to get deals. It's questionable whether Microsoft required help connecting with IBM. Microsoft was already well on its way to being a billion dollar valuation business in today's dollar.
