What you're calling a "how" can be a list of simple "what"s.

> In an electronic word processing system for creating and editing a document, the document comprising a plurality of sentences, a combined spelling and grammar dialog box for displaying both spelling and grammatical errors in one of the plurality of sentences in the document comprising:

> a rich text edit command (RTEC) field for displaying both spelling and grammatical errors found within the sentence and editing the sentence;

> a suggestions list box for displaying a suggestions list, the suggestions list comprises a fist plurality of suggestions operative for correcting the spelling error found if the error type displayed in the error title line indicates a spelling error, or the suggestions lists comprises a second plurality of suggestions for correcting the grammatical error found if the error type displayed in the error title lined indicates a grammatical error;

> a plurality of common command buttons operative for correcting both errors in the spelling and in the grammatical composition of the sentence displayed in the RTEC field.

In other words: an editable sentence, the description of a spelling or grammatical error, a list of suggestions to fix the error, and some buttons to apply a suggestion, skip, etc.

That specific combination of UI elements was perhaps new in 1996 (as were most GUIs), but not what I'd call an "invention" so valuable to society that it deserves 20 years of protection from free market competition.

The actual spelling and grammar analysis code might be worthy of protection for a year or two, but they probably lifted most of that from some college kid's paper.
> No, I can't. That doesn't mean there is no distinction between the two. I cannot draw an arbitrary line where "low altitude" becomes "high altitude", but there are many differences between them.

"Altitude" refers to height above sea level. It is measured with an altimeter. The unit it is measured at is feet (or a convertible unit, like meters). Based on the context being discussed, "high altitude" represents an altitude in the upper portion of the distribution of altitudes; for example, very few cities on earth are above 5,000 feet, but Boulder CO is, so it is high altitude. Humans might consider any flight in a plane high altitude, but if we're comparing many flights, a high altitude flight implies a flight above the regular cruising feet of 30,000-ish feet.

I can't personally think of an answer similar to what I said above about processing. There's some notion that processed foods involve a lot of sugar, and salt, and fat, and calories, and maybe artificial sweeteners (themselves a class of many unrelated products), and also sometimes it means GMOs, and sometimes it seems to mean "includes stabilizers or ingredients normally used only at scale like xanthan gum", but it's also a non-biological statement about the way the food was produced or sold. I don't know how to relatively measure the importance of those components in "processing". If I have a bunch of data in a matrix and apply PCA or something, will the first principal component be a latent measure of processing?

This is a definition sufficient enough for me to tell you the steak I ate last night is not processed but the Hungryman at the grocery store is, but not sufficient for me to understand the causal link between processing and obesity, which is what the article is proposing. What about the Hungryman makes people fat?

I personally would like to understand -- are you arguing that a food being yellow makes people obese? That fresher food is metabolized different than less fresh? That the blade of the mechanical separator affects how nutritional the meat is? That the company's profit margin drives obesity? I don't think so. It's not quite that, right?

This speaks to the fact that processing here is a bit of an nebulous concept, and that's probably why the article seems unsatisfying to the parent comment you're replying to and to me. In part because one of the best definitions of processing seems to be "food that's high in calories but doesn't make you feel full so you eat more", which is sort of tautological -- yes, food that makes you fat makes you fat. So let's try to come up with a definition that lends itself more to the kind of proposal the parent article is making.
Striking similarity to this article, with a lot of the preprocessing steps missing.

Wrote this last yr. before jumping back into clinical ML but never got around to sharing it. Added some 2019 updates (clinical BERT and approach for industry applications).

I updated the appendix with a few papers from 2019 but it felt like there were 10X more papers compared to 2018 (which is fantastic!). But, instead of making the appendix even longer, I highly recommend just following http://www.arxiv-sanity.com/search?q=health to stay up-to-date.

Even if you’re not in the health space, you’ll find ingenious interpretability techniques and tips leveraged by researchers out of necessity of being in the clinical space. I conclude with a realist note on the challenges that lie ahead for safely transitioning research to the clinical setting.
I've explained what I see and what I think many people see when they talk about 'processed foods' in a way that makes a fuzzy but usefully coherent classification.

If you think there is no worthwhile distinction to be made between a boiled egg and a Cadbury creme egg, say that.

If you think there is a potentially meaningful distinction to be made, choose a word which you like instead of 'processed'.

Kik, Telegram, and Skype has a spam issue. Until they solve it, they are doomed. I have "nikolay" on Telegram and get tends of messages from scammers daily. Same with Skype, and Kik. I don't get spam on Viber and Messenger and that's why I use those. All the rest are not worth my time although I love both Telegram and Skype more than the rest, but don't have the nerves to deal with their basic design issues.
What do you suppose someone is doing when they have a box for "donate to save the animals" or similar, and they never empty it even though it is stuffed full of money? Some sort of manipulation that escapes me, or something counterproductive? I noticed today that they put a piggy bank on top.

The problem with this kind of statement is "social responsibility" isn't one thing. To their social group this is what being socially responsible is. To your/my social group it isn't.

Saying "you have a social responsibility to not do that" is only one step better than arguing "I don't think you should do that" as a reason someone shouldn't do something.

I thought so too but my research and experience seem to indicate that one ear bud transmits to the other. Would love to see something definitive on this topic about airpods or other brands.
Although I respect that this shouldn't be confused as a standard, as a Go beginner with some very small attempts at creating Go projects[1] I would appreciate some sort of guidance on organizing code for a larger project. I've considered rewriting some of my larger NodeJS side projects in Go and I, possibly misguidedly, feel like the biggest barrier to entry is understanding the correct way to organize everything (i.e. directory structure). Is there any documentation, tutorials, anything that you or others would recommend for larger Go projects?

> I’ve been fascinated by the fact that I know several people who have become vegan, lost weight, and feel better. But I also know many people who have gone low carb, or even eat nothing but meat, and are also losing weight and report feeling much better.

I have had a similar experience, but I've also known several people who have tried various diets and quickly dropped off them because it wasn't working for them. So while it's true that if you ask all your vegan friends if they enjoy being vegan, they'll probably mostly say yes, there's a huge possibility for selection bias/survivor bias.

The lesson I've drawn is not "pick a restrictive diet and you'll feel better", but more "some things work for some people but not others, and we have no idea why". :-/
As far as I know, CloudFlare are still willing to provide service to all of the DDoS services that let anyone with a few dollars knock any company which doesn't buy from CloudFlare off the internet.

I didn't even notice until I read the comment below. My brain just saw tape, I had to go back and reread it to make sure it hadn't been corrected yet.
It’s essentially QE4. Fed’s balance sheet is increasing (even if for a short duration). Make no mistake - this results in lower return on cash for savers. At a time when big banks call 0.05% “high yield”, this is the last thing we need. If banks are short on reserves they should be increasing interest rates to attract new deposits and maybe selling some of those foreclosed homes they’ve been holding onto for an eternity.

The banks have completely failed as a business and the fed is enabling their incompetence. How many stories do we need of money laundering, market manipulation, fraud, until we say enough?

The best part of all this? We don't even get to know the real reason there's a liquidity crisis. Obviously the "it's investors buying treasuries and corporations paying taxes!" explanation was BS.
Is this something we can report? Or is it allowed in Android?

Maybe I'm out of touch with how it's used today, but self taught used to be someone that built things, W3schools was the closest thing to online courses years ago. If so I'd argue the modern usage is wrong though, a self taught mechanic is someone that tinkers with cars, a self taught electrician is someone there own cables, a self taught sysadmin typically fell into the role by doing stuff, a self taught investor has invested money. So I see know reason why a self taught developer shouldn't be someone that's built software.

Fascinating.

Jungle ops always intrigues me. So do insurgencies. But a jungle insurgency ...? I mean, good luck countering that if you're averse to burning down the entire forest. It takes some fanatically dedicated fighters to put up with that kind of life and still maintain even a rudimentary level of combat effectiveness.

For example, if the code is a cleanup phase that just wants to remove a list of files, what are the odds that the program dutifully checks that the files actually went away?

Or, as the reason for the omission of such checks is more likely to be, what to do if something that shouldn't fail, fails? And if whatever you decide to do to handle the error itself also fails? Repeat ad infinitum. To even try to go down that rabbithole is simply a waste of effort and does nothing but introduce unnecessary complexity, to put it bluntly.
This comment needs to be higher.

Some topics here talk about paranoia about government spying before and after the Snowden revelations. Some talk about privacy issues and there are people decrying companies for emphasizing ad revenue and ignoring privacy.

And yet after all that some people seem motivated to virtually sprint into an ecosystem where a company that doesn't care about you as anything more than a revenue stream is trying to sell you an always-on microphone.
A few years ago, as a joke, I bought the absolute cheapest phone case off of Aliexpress for a friend for $0.46 with free shipping. 1.5 months later, I did actually get it in the mail. It went from China, through several of the central Asian countries (the ones whose names end with "stan"), and was delivered to my mailbox. All for less than the cost of a first class postage stamp at the time ($0.47).

It blows my mind that Aliexpress was willing to take my money and act as an intermediary between me and the retailer/factory as I cannot imagine they made a profit on this transaction given the fixed cost of accepting credit card payments (i.e. the "$0.30" part of 2.9% + "$0.30"). It further blows my mind that a retailer/factory can profitably send me the case at all, even if they were to receive the entire $0.46.
I think the anonymous researcher that disclosed it more broadly now is the one making the internet a worse place

Why do our opinions differ?
I suspect every dollar you contribute to a high-consumption 1st world economy is inherently going to be worse for the environment than sending it a developing country. Like that vegan / grassfed / murican made premium is going to fund someone's conspicuous consumption, versus spent on more basic needs in developing countries. And in case of China, with incredibly high savings rate, it's just going to the bank.
Ah, I see your point. That is deceptive; I thought it was just generic vitriol.

As for me I only _dream_ of dwelling amongst the ranks of the Valley's intelligentsia... many years to go before I proclaim myself a bonafide intellectual elite.
> MIT doesn't exist to maximize fairness. It exists to perpetuate itself and to provide a beneficial experience to its students. ... Since it has a sailing program, having a good sailing program is good for MIT's students.

Yeah, I'm aware that it doesn't. Maybe it shouldn't exist then? I don't think we should be putting institutions that aren't in the national interest on a pedestal like this. Let them lose non-for-profit status and have their massive endowments get taxed.

> I don't know what school you went to, but MIT is actually quite challenging,

My undergrad is also challenging to some people, most colleges are. I don't really know how you can really measure challenging fairly across institutions with just anecdotes.

Unless you're arguing that folks that get into MIT are just inherently superior (which I'm sure you aren't, because that wouldn't be terribly politically correct and would be downright insulting to 99.9% of folks that didn't get into an elite undergrad like myself) I don't really understand your point.
I still get Alexa butting into conversations with the "sorry" thing. The typical response in my household is "no one asked you Alexa". And then to get a little creeped out that it hears everything.
Don’t believe everything you read. Bird death from turbines is essentially nothing next to bird death from hitting buildings, or, worse, cats.

It’s a persistent myth, and recently back in vogue due to the tweeting of a certain orange personage, but wind farms as bird-destroyers are not worth worrying about.
Putting more dies closer together makes thermal issues worse.

Hot parts next to other hot parts increase thermal power density, more heat to remove from a small area.

Colder parts next to hot parts can overheat because of the hot neighbors.

I suspect water cooling may become a must, air just cannot take away enough heat.
I never know if "the rich get richer" means the people on the tail of the distribution now will be farther out in the future, or if it means the people on the tail of the distribution in the future will be farther out than the people on the tail now.
Oh yes brings back memories from when I worked on vBulletin customizations over a decade ago. No doubt it is a remnant of the early plugin features but also the hacks one had to employ with PHP before namespaces and a proper OOP structure was introduced. Eval in PHP was the go-to for sorting out versioning mishaps and adding a layer of abstraction when one didn’t exist. It was the Swiss Army knife of making difficult problems disappear so it makes sense to me that they had a specific method for this. Between versions 4 & 5 of PHP depending on whatever VHost was chosen eval was necessary sometimes just to start migrating over to version 5 because you could if...then...rewrite your eval(“new code”).
what about the chinese state's social responsibility to maintain order?
I read the article very carefully for that definition, and found that the conclusion of the study is nothing more and nothing less than "processed foods make you want to eat more" and that's what caused them to gain weight. They didn't control for calorie intake at all.

I feel dumber having bothered to read it. News flash, food that tastes good makes people want to eat more of it and that will make you gain weight. Film at 11.

Shit I could have told them that. Every last Cajun in Lafayette is bigger than a whale, why? Because Cajun food is the best damn tasting food in the whole country.

They should have added in my grandma's rice dressing and seafood gumbo as a third category. Would have blown 'processed food' right out of the water.
This is in no way the standard go project layout - this is one repository with umpteen folders containing almost no information. This is more to confuse than it is to help new developers.

About 19 years ago some guy at my school was by himself. He started talking as I walked by, and I naturally thought he was talking to me, so I stopped and asked, "Sorry, what was that?" He just stared away from me with an annoyed look on his face while he kept talking. At first I thought he had a disability, but when it became obvious he was on a phone call, that's when I first realized that wireless in-ear things like that were starting to exist.

It's still a little strange when people just randomly start talking when I'm the only other person around.

Inducing Hypernym Relationships Based on Order Theory
I'm super pro-renewables. The fact is that northern Europe is going to need nuclear to completely decarbonize (which is what is required to meet our goals).

Because of the long winters, to do the same with wind/solar will require about 3-5 times as much cost as you might think at first. You need to provide extra capacity to artificially increase effective capacity factor, and then you need about 48 hours of storage. Also possible, but about the same price, is hydrogen for seasonal storage for winter.

...and generally speaking, effectively any carbonfree project being built now needs to be supported. We need everything. Including a lot more off-shore wind.
Peter Thiel on “The Straussian Moment” – Uncommon Knowledge [video]
It's the supply, stupid.

Congress limits the number of medical school students, thus limiting the supply of doctors.

You see all kinds of programs to introduce more STEM or coding camps into public schools. But you won't see schools encourage more doctors. Why? Because of special interest groups.
Yep: one major advantage of bookstores is that their recommendation engines work several magnitudes better, and reliably. I believe they always will, too.

I think it's also possible that at least part of Amazon's success was due to creating/increasing price sensitivity in an era where wage stagnation has become more and more apparent. That is, they are also the Dollar Saver & K-Mart of the Internet.

The segments that Amazon has conquered may be more abstract than those they're usually given credit for. Segments like "poor people."
> Finally, note the disparity between individual and family plans. Employers are offering 2.5x more benefit—nearly $9,000 more—to workers with families.

Interestingly, my employer discloses the full premium that they pay to the health insurer every year. As an employee without a partner/dependents (I just graduated college/started my career), my employer spends ~$17k/year less on my health/dental/vision benefits than employees with a partner/dependents.

That effective pay difference makes me mildly salty.
