FODMAPS - olygoscharids that are very hard to digest. Proper fermentation reduces them. I guess the italian bread is just properly fermented and leavened.

Here is fun experiment - try her tolerance towards the simplest no knead bread made at home with long cold proofing. Like 48-72 hours. Or good proper artisanal sourdough - if she can tolerate them better you have a good piece of the puzzle.

And pasta gluten is quite different anyway from the bread one. It is made from durum wheat which is very hard and I think its gluten lacked the elasticity of the bread one.

Does she likes eats a lot fermented foods - like sourkraut and real yogurt? They have been shown to help with stomach microbiome.
Adobe bungled everything about Macromedia. My livelihood was pretty much built around Macromedia during the entire 2000s and I remember how uneasy I was about the Adobe buyout back then. Macromedia conferences were seriously creative and fun and educational and developer friendly, the first year after Adobe took over they turned it into a big marketing event and within a short time span the entire community was killed off. I think back then (and maybe even now) Adobe just saw the web as a publishing platform, whereas Macromedia saw it as a playground.

Well there is also the fairphone! And pinephone in the future (based on rk3399, so not bad mainline support). Peripherals are always iffy, but sometimes you need to make sacrifices.
AFAIK the extreme, apocalyptic statements you are making are not supported by the science such as the IPCC. 3-4 degrees C of warming by 2100 will not make the human race or civilization cease to exist. There are also technological options available to us to cool the planet such as seeding the upper atmosphere with dust, which we have not yet used and could provide some additional time to switch to sustainable energy production means.

In any case, a non-smooth transition is not possible right now. Look at France which was paralyzed by “yellow vest” protests for a fuel tax increase until it was rolled back - the needed carbon taxes are far higher than that small tax increase. Right now the best scenario is to continue R&D and target promotion of sustainable energy, not attempt to reduce people’s standard of living which a democratic society will refuse to accept.

That's a cool idea! What resonates most with me is starting somewhere in the middle of the ladder of abstraction, low enough that a lot of the fundamental CS concepts are visible, but high enough that beginners can make something real, now. I like that networking would be built in from the start.

I'd also want to teach beginners in a way that lets them keep building and tinkering outside the environment I provide for them. This is where I'd love to see schools providing and encouraging the use of hosting space and resources like Minio, so that students can just count on them being available.

> ...so they know to punish the right seller when a complaint comes in.

Since (according to others in this thread) the Amazon "Reason for return" menu does not provide the option "Item is counterfeit", it does not sound like Amazon is very interested in receiving these sorts of complaints. So I have to wonder how interested Amazon is in punishing the sellers of counterfeit items. If you close your ears to bad news, you won't hear any.

> You are correct that customers could themselves choose better sellers...

That's right. For items where genuineness really matters, I choose the seller "Sold by Walmart" at walmart.com. There are no reliable sellers at amazon.com, not even "Sold by Amazon". Which is a shame.

P.S. Reply to msbarnett, since I can't reply directly: Amazon does not literally put all identical items into a single physical bin, so it is at least feasible for them to keep track of which item came from which seller, if they choose to. I recommend that you (and other readers) take a tour of an Amazon fulfillment center: https://www.aboutamazon.com/amazon-fulfillment-center-tours/
It's pretty interesting.
> You really don't, you just need to burn fuel to fill in for gaps caused by weather

That suggests that we'd need to keep most of the existing infrastructure for power generation and also replicate its capacity with wind and solar plants.

That sounds both expensive and inefficient.

> Storage is not a problem now - economic solutions exist already to build it where it is valuable. Its just not needed much yet.

Nuclear has actually proven that it can work at the scale we need it (~20% of actual power generation from memory). Renewables and storage have not. So this is an argument of hypotheticals vs actuals. The burden of evidence on the hypothetical solution is a bit higher than an assertion that it'll work.

The only grid-level storage solutions that actually store energy (not just modulate grid supply short-term) is big hydroelectric dams which are not one size fits all solutions.
You get goofy measurements like that when someone takes the time to measure what a dash of this, a pinch of that, and a tad of something else into a non-eyeballed, quantifiable amounts. And yes, some times you have to be exact, sometimes... not so much. Cooking is organic chemistry. :P

The only way to be somewhat sure, is to find a 3rd party seller who doesn't use Fulfilled by Amazon.

Amazon has managed to completely invert the original hierarchy of seller trust.
Indeed, I apparently misread that. So probably still influential, but not majority.
It absolutely makes a difference. There's no way to properly regulate an industry without understanding it.

But like I said above, people don't care about fracking because they don't even understand what it is. It's just a buzzword people use when what they really want is to stop the entire industry. Or maybe they hate how our society runs. Or they hate rich people. They're angry about something but it's almost never the practice of using water pressure to break rocks thousands of feet beneath the earth's surface.

This is the biggest misconception about Amazon I've seen, and has been for years, at least on HN.
In the six years I lived in NYC proper, there was a giant flood, a giant power outage, several hurricanes, several blizzards, several city-wide protests, and countless large events taking place on the streets.

That's just a few events I thought of off the top of my head. That doesn't cover the normal ebb and flow of activity in the city - it's pretty busy around Thanksgiving and Christmas, and dead in February, and a zoo in the summertime. How do all those things affect this? What happens when school is out? What happens during shopping season? What happens in heat waves or during snowstorms?

The point is, a lot of different things can happen in the city on pretty annual cycle, and declaring this a success even after a month is pretty silly and potentially very costly.
Lots of athletes get paid by the CBD companies or offered free products in return for endorsement. They would say it's good that's how advertising works.

That being said I believe there is a place for CBD oil but I'm not sure easing the kind of pain athletes experience is one of them.

I was sponsored by a glucosamine company when I was a junior weightlifter and wasn't sure if it was doing anything for my knee pain but I would still promote it to get more free bottles.
What you describe as miserable was my introduction to software development. I never had any technically minded friends or family, and growing up I looked at programming the same way I looked at professional sports; out of my reach and not worth attempting. I started my career as a graphic designer and flash became popular a few years after I started working. The ability to "put code anywhere" allowed me to experiment without having to learn an entire language or ecosystem just to get started. The fact that the IDE was all you need to design, script, and publish content made "hello world" as easy as installing a single app. When I consider the landscape of programming tools in 2019 I can't imagine that kid from a poor family with no training or support being able to make the transition from novice to professional. It's true that browser dev tools and online tutorials have drastically lowered to barrier of entry for application development, but the leap from browser dev tools to being able to actually author and deploy a fully functioning app is enormous. In the flash days there was no difference between the hello world and the professional development environment. It's sad, because becoming a software developer completely transformed my life and provided me with an income over 4x greater than my parents' combined salaries when I was a teenager. When I read comments deriding the old flash IDE for its simplicity it makes me sad for today's generation of underprivileged kids. I hope there is still a path for them to lift themselves out of a life of few opportunities through the joy of programming.
Natural gas is currently replacing Coal, which is a far worse energy source both from a greenhouse gas perspective and from a health perspective (coal plant exhaust is radioactive, toxic, and is estimated to kill millions)

So oil execs could perfectly well be complete believers in science and global warming and still think they are doing a good thing.

It’s probably because they want to make money though and companies will do anything to make $$ as long as it’s legal enough.
Completely irresponsible on the part of this administration.

Do you really think Tencent is detecting a new phishing site every 154ms?

I'd seriously question how many of the total new phising sites they detect to start off with, and then how frequently they do so.

If a user only downloads the deltas periodically they'd risk being out of sync with the master list (which might not be updated even once a month or at all, for all we know), but that's the price they'd need to pay to have to send any information about their web browsing to parties they don't trust.

One other thing to consider is the likelihood that the URL you happen to be surfing is both a phishing URL to begin with and one of the ones that just appeared since the last delta download you did, compared to the likelihood that it's one of those already in the entire phishing URL database you've already downloaded. I'd expect those odds to be very low.

Its all about the flour.

I'm Australian I recently went through south America for work and was shocked at the poor quality bread products in that country. It turns out their bread has a really poor gluten quality, makes a huge diff to the mouth feel and eat-ability of the bread.
That seems odd. I worked at a pretty bad (in terms of salary, working conditions) large tech firm and got 6 weeks severance.
It has "not as described" as an option. You can put in text explaining what wasn't as described: if it has keywords like "counterfeit" or similar, it will go into that seller's CCR (counterfeit complaint rate), and sellers with a bad CCR get suspended.
I can't imagine how you could get a shock off an engine that isn't running...

60s tech was rotor and coil. Modern tech needs running ECU.

Also AFAIK the spark is mostly just painful and not particularly dangerous (memory of spark plug lead with cracked insulation). I have also had a shock from a charged CRT tube (youch!), and the occasional 240V mains shock (careless me).

Apologies for not being clear, but I was simply addressing the third point in your previous post:

I understand the benefit of CF, and it’s for each person to decide for themselves what they consider acceptable or not.

We could do this in the 90s with our web server logs. It didn’t involve third parties or paid tools or centralising logging and sacrificing privacy. Tooling for simple stats has existed for literally more than two decades.
In Asia there are a lot of "Love Hotels" where you check in exclusively for a place to have sex with a partner. (Provide your own partner usually) In the US there are motels that also fill this role.

They rent buildings long term for low prices and then lease them back out in small pieces at higher prices. If they can keep the buildings full enough, they could make a lot of money!

Right now most of their buildings are still pretty new, so they are not full enough, but that should change over time.
And some of the increase is in our interest to happen. Moving cars from petrol to electric makes sense since we have ways to generate electricity is reasonable ways.
When I was writing my undergraduate honors paper on group representations, I tried something like your dependency structure! Result: Mostly all I got was just a simple sequence with nothing interesting or surprising.

For that nearly 2000 page PDF, actually I know enough about the contents to suspect that again a dependency structure graph, especially for anyone with a background in Baby Rudin (Principles of Mathematical Analysis), Big Rudin (Real and Complex Analysis or maybe Functional Analysis), surprisingly, would not look very interesting.

From just going through the table of contents, there are a lot of interesting and uncommon topics in those ~2000 pages, but the book looks more like a small encyclopedia or reference than an integrated whole.

And for something that long and in places with some rare topics, there is, surprisingly, especially for the goal of ML (machine learning), comparatively little on probability, stochastic processes, and mathematical statistics.

But in those many pages, there are many topics possibly valuable and not easy to find elsewhere, so keep a copy of the PDF and use it as a reference when appropriate.

Here is a short remark for readers without much background: Don't be afraid to dig in nearly anywhere in the ~2000 pages; maybe you will have to backtrack a little but in general can start nearly anywhere and don't have to read sequentially chapter 1, 2, ....

Warning: Some topics are covered relatively superficially while others have some really rare details.

Broad, Curious Point: The ~2000 pages may be this and that, but it is relatively close to the applied mathematics of operations research and numerical analysis, closer to those fields than what is usually regarded as computer science until computer science wants to absorb the math of operations research and numerical analysis. For more, some of the numerical analysis was, as I recall, mostly of interest for numerical solutions of partial differential equations. That field is also to be subsumed by computer science?

Of all of the areas where there is legitimate gatekeeping, like with the AMA and residency limits, software is one of the worst examples you could have picked.

Software is one of those spaces where there is an incredible amount of capital invested in making things easy for the lowest common denominator.

There are so many resources for people of any age and background to learn practical skills in this field. There are summer camps where 7 year old kids learn to program.
There are 5 Quora answers: 3.3-5 years, 9 years, 7 years, 10-12 years (with 35 year outliers), and 4.8 years. 7 years is near the average of all those answers.

> “ Most of the wait time is due to lack of demand”

None of the Quora answers cited this as a reason. And the Quora answers are the low end of the scale (40 months) only included construction time in their answer, not site finding, licensing, or startup.
Seems to me like the focus of his comment was the phone, not the OS. You could just as easily install a custom ROM like Lineage on it and it’ll run perfectly fine (aside from maybe the camera, which is quite outdated and poor in comparison with new phones and I guess in our modern culture is probably a severe negative).
> is relatively close to the applied mathematics of operations research and numerical analysis

I know these areas well, and I would be hesitant to agree with this statement.
I entered the workforce full-time in 2007 so, yes. At my first company I was a Jr. Developer on a doomed project and was let got after my probation period of 3( or 4?) months. The rest of the team was let go a few months later. I had just moved out of my parents place so making rent was pretty stressful. Thankfully the market hadn't crashed yet so hiring was decent in my area.

At the end of my next job 1.5 years later. The financial crisis was in full-swing. We had a few rounds of layoffs, which was a scary and depressing experience. Compared to my first layoffs where it was just a quick matter-of-fact meeting with my manager, this time layoffs were announced and then we were left to stew about it for weeks. Our team made it for a few more months of uncertainty until the investors pulled out and the whole company went down immediately.

I have not had experiences like that since 2008-2009. With the next recession, I and many others who have actually worked their whole careers in a bull market will get a taste of some pain again.
And within this article alone, you find specific references about how CAHSR failed to comply with the conditions of the funding:

'Ronald Batory, (the Obama Administration's) chief of the Federal Railroad Administration, the transportation agency that made the grants in 2009 and 2010, laid out a lengthy legal argument Tuesday for why the state was out of compliance with the grant agreement. Batory said in a three-page letter to California High-Speed Rail Authority Chief Executive Brian Kelly that the state “has materially failed to comply with the terms of the agreement and has failed to make reasonable progress on the project.”

Batory alleged that the state had failed to spend required matching funds, falling short by $100 million as of December. He argued that it will fail to complete the Central Valley construction by a 2022 deadline required by the grant. Batory also said the state has not submitted required financial information — such as reports on what has been delivered to date — that would allow federal regulators to oversee the grants. It also has failed to take corrective actions after regulators raised concerns in 2017 and 2018.'
Costco's return policy is amazing. I bought a bidet once and after three years the thing stopped working. The warranty had long passed. On a whim I took it back to Costco and they accepted the return. I kind of felt ashamed to return a used toilet item.

For large ticket items, I now buy from Costco with their Citi credit card, which has 2 extra years for extended warranty on top of the manufacturer warranty.

Are you sure about that? I've been keeping an eye on the German numbers because it is the fairest experiment and it looks to me like they've failed to have any sort of environmentally positive outcome. Their energy use is flat, and they've swapped nuclear for renewables, with a little reduction in hard-coal [0].

If the goal of Germany's Energiewende was cleaner energy, France is thrashing them without even trying. That is really a stunning endorsement of just how technically excellent nuclear power is.

The exact thresholds aren't known, but they're pretty low: https://www.awesomedynamic.com/amazon-prime-wardrobe/ mentions thresholds of 30 PPM (and 500 PPM for just Materially Different Complaint Rate) to get into some seller program. Presumably the threshold rate for suspension is an order of magnitude or so higher than that. 500 PPM would be one complaint every 2,000 orders.
Indeed what they want is an S-1 or an F-1 form filling. A security registration. That's it. The SEC has no opinion on the offering other than they think it's a security (this claim itself could also be challenged), and as such has to be registered under the 1933 act.
