It's probably not advisable to discriminate against someone because of their lack of interest in getting you to sell the company to them. If they are really in need of the job, the last thing they want to do is appear as though the company is not interesting enough for them, or insufficient for some other reason, which could be something that comes with asking too many or even slightly too hard of questions.
Yes, according to the article that kind of science (i.e. the basic logic of energy usage) was invented by Coca-Cola. This is what happens when you combine weak knowledge of science with a credulous mind (you think everything is a conspiracy theory invented by group of people you dislike).

Maybe "processed food" (whatever that means, according to the article it is everything not produced in an "artisinal restaurant") is good, maybe it is bad but it is slightly hard to tell given that lots of people in the US are obese: which is a function of greed and laziness, not whether food is "processed" or not.

You can lose weight drinking nothing but soda. You can can lose weight eating nothing but chocolate. I have done it (and no, Coca-Cola didn't pay me). As you say, the issue of obesity is a fairly simple one of: how much energy do you use and how much energy do you put in.

What is actually remarkable to me is how many people are obese given the high basal metabolic rate of humans (at my normal weight, it was remarkably hard and time-consuming to cram enough calories in to gain weight consistently). I have gained and lost 20-40% of my bodyweight multiple times, it isn't hard, it isn't about "good" or "bad" foods (the "you never see a skinny person drinking a diet soda" phenomenom, every obese person I have ever met thought this way), and doesn't look at what their actual calories-in/calories-out is (in my experience, most people regard tracking calories this as a form of mental illness...I live somewhere that has life expectancy under 70 because of obesity...so, go figure). This isn't to say micronutrients aren't important, they clearly are...you don't have enough iron, you are going to feel very bad...but the issue for most countries in the West is excessive calorie consumption, and a failure to speak about this bluntly with people (pretty much all my older relatives have health issues caused by weight, it is frustrating when a doctor tries to be kind first rather than help them stay alive).
yes but what does it mean tracking? having an account? keeping a tab of last time you used it?
It would indeed be glorious to see regulators pick 10 of the largest sites with the “Agree and continue” vs “let me uncheck 100 checkboxes” consent, and simply fine them a sum that is large enough to make all sites on the planet decide that it’s better to comply immediately than be in the next round of fines.

Right now I think a lot of sites are thinking “If we don’t use these tracking ads we aren’t going to be able to keep the lights on, so it’s better to use that pretend compliance banner everyone else is using, than to have to close”. And that’s the problem. The regulation should make bankruptcy or a massive risky change of business Model look attractive and low risk compared to “agree and continue”. Otherwise why would shady sites not try to do exactly what they are doing.

Tracking ads are unfair competition. It’s like a business not paying their taxes. The reason you can’t start a site paid by non-tracking ads, is that the competitor uses tracking ads.

When tracking ads aren’t an option, the money in “good” advertising goes up. (Or, all the money is concentrated to Apple and Facebook, the bad scenario).

I think a third explanation is more likely: management already had reasons to want to get rid of her and her 'do as I say or I quit!' email provided a convenient excuse to do so.

From the type of things people are saying on r/machinelearning about what she was like to work with, it's not hard to imagine what those reasons might have been.
“Too big to fail” has been mentioned often as a danger to a well working society.

But then again, as long as there is reasonably rapid evolution in society, I have no idea how one might curtail organizations from becoming too big.

At best it would become another game of Whac-a-mole[0] between regulators and organizations, with regulators more often on the losing side than not.

Hi glrorpoepopo pvivinsinoborpo,

Are the aliens using PowerPoint, now? Oh goodness, not sure I welcome our new galactic overlords.
Here's what I remember:

Basically they bribed people with the biggest frequent flier miles offer up to that point in history, lost more money Fedexing cards to customers, got worked by the credit card churning crowd for all the bonuses possible, incentivized people to visit 4 airport lounges per trip and now are struggling to keep customers as travel has fallen off the face of the Earth.

So, exactly what you get when some exec says, "I just want to see a huge growth in customers, I don't care how you get it!"
I was still taking about contemporary apples. What makes you think I reference 5000 years old one? I don't even think people 5000 live healthier lifes on average.
I get the concept because I used to be a 3d artist... But when it comes to program this...

A static model I just copy it's vertex position to a buffer, right? So when there's a bone animation I just update the vertex in my models and the copy it again to the buffer, for every frame?

I just checked... it's about three to four years post-fork, and the size of the "Bitcoin" blockchain (as you call it) is (minus indexes) about 315 Gb. The size of the Bitcoin Cash blockchain is roughly 170Gb.

I don't know what it was when they forked, but it should have been the same size.

The people you accuse of hijacking Bitcoin seem to have a much higher transaction rate since the fork than the Bitcoin Cash team has achieved.
You may know this, but, white rice has one of the highest glycemic indexes (along with white bread). High GI foods tend to be addictive, in that spikes in blood sugar are sort of a double whammy, the sharp rise help cultivate future cravings (the body produces dopamine in anticipation of big “positive” effects in the body, in this case to help encourage finding similar high calorie food stores in the future), while the almost immediate drop in blood sugar is a signal that we’re hungry, despite possibly having a too full belly, and already having a high baseline blood sugar level.

As to the rest of your comment, yeah, associative memories are a bitch when it comes to compulsive behaviors. I personally have to keep things out of the house otherwise I too would always eat popcorn and candy with every movie...
What about just using the nmap homeassistant plugin, which doesn't require any kind of client device setup? Assuming you use wifi at home, and your phones automatically connect, and your wifi isn't too spotty.
I had the same question - apparently the answer is yes: https://supertokens.io/docs/emailpassword/common-customizati...
as i pointed out the last time this came up ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23067492 )

the most simple answer, the answer with the most historical analogues (think government-funded remote viewing research well into the 1980s): it's a grift.
In the video, we show a flight test of our system hanging from a helicopter - however, our actual launches will happen while hanging from a high altitude balloon, not a helicopter. The helicopter test gives us a way to test the performance of our yaw control system (to point the rocket along a desired heading) without having to do a full blown balloon launch.

Nonsense. If they don’t have the funds they don’t have the funds.
The thing you have to know about Amazon is that they combine all the reviews for all sellers of the same product (to the extent that Amazon thinks it is the same product). As such, reviews aren't an appropriate place to leave feedback about a seller, and leaving your review up would have been misleading. The reviews are only supposed to be about the product.

You can leave feedback for sellers by clicking on their name in the listing.

This has pros and cons. It does allow you to see more reviews about the product you are purchasing, making it easier to find the gem reviews that are most helpful. On the other hand I think Amazon is too aggressive about combining reviews for similar but different products - different translations of the same book, different DVD sets of the same movie, etc. And seller ratings are deliberately not shown on the listing page, so few people click through to check the seller rating before buying on Amazon, let alone provide seller feedback.

I think the bigger problem is that the employees that rightfully deleted these reviews aren't required to instead migrate them to seller feedback, and forward them to folks that enforce seller policies.
This kind of posts are usually full of apologists of the big companies arguing about how the private companies are free to ban and delete the posts of whoever they want.

There seems to be a dearth of those comments in this particular post. Fortunately.

I'm curious about the notion of becoming wealthy by extracting wealth. Here are four ways to increase one's wealth, which of the four is an extraction:

1. Earning a salary. Generally speaking, the larger the organization and the higher the position the higher the salary.

2. Investing in stock. The more a company grows, the more valuable the stock becomes, the more the investor's stock is worth.

3. Owning a home. The more people there are, and the more desirable a location is, the more valuable the property is, and the more the home is worth.

4. Owning a business. The harder and smarter your work, the more the business is worth. As the owner, that grows your wealth.

How do these methods of increasing wealth make it worse for other people? Or are you referring to another way? For example, a drug pusher who gets people hooked and then sells them drugs is for sure extracting. Or a monopolist who can charge any price he wishes is extracting if he chooses to exploit that position.

However, the majority of wealthy people are not of that type.
Email verification and social login is what we are currently working on. But C# isnt a common request at the moment. We'll definitely try to get to it asap. If you are interested, you could contribute the C# SDK together with us.

We do not currently have a bug bounty program.

You can use functions exposed via our SDK to verify & refresh a session yourself in your APIs - if that is what you were asking? Apologies if I misunderstood.

When purchasing anything on AMZN, never trust the reviews.

Buy only name brand but shop around, they have become expensive. Try to give others your business at the same time. I intentionally buy from companies like NEWEGG or RockAuto even if AMZN has the same price and 1-2 day shipping. I also try to buy directly from companies (ex: thorne) if possible even if I have to wait, why give your all your business to AMZN and make these companies pay them a fee.

AMZN has enough business, we need to support everyone else.

That's not what they charged with. What they charged with:

- RH supposed to fill order at best price ($98)
- RH didn't do that.
To the people who want to pretend like pornhub is just another tech company, or who think it's cute that they might hold business meetings in front of pornography scenes:

I would just ask you to read some of the stories of the women who are abused by this industry. They're not uncommon, and they're not anything like the "abuse" somebody might describe in a manual labor job. Some of these stories sound like these women are essentially being raped, over and over, for profit, and then their abuse is being viewed by millions of people on the internet every day.

It's not cute, and there is a reason why the founder of this company would want to hide his name. He is trafficking in what is often times videos of the worst moments of some women's lives.

Read the stories that Mia Khalifa has put out, or Stoya, or girlsdoporn, or "exploited college girls", or watch the documentary "hot girls wanted". This stuff is horrible, and "mindgeek" appears to have absolutely no sympathy whatsoever for the toll that their exploitation of these women takes on them.
They mostly can now, 6 years later. Although they still don't do two things I really like: 1) long, slow changes in light (my lights dim from 7 to 10 pm, but I think the app is limited to 1 hour), 2) color temperature shifts as part of that (my lights go from very warm at "dawn" to very cool at noon and back to very warm at "dusk".

Mine is also more opinionated; I can turn on the lights manually, but they'll go back in sync to the schedule after a bit. Whereas with the Hue app, if I change the lighting during an automatic cycle, it stops the automation until the next trigger point.
Just chiming in to note that "1) if your air-gapped computer has malware that can do this, you've already lost" is a problem specific to this implementation.

Other implementations exist (related work, not in 2.4G band) where it is not necessary to install malware to make measurable transmissions.

For example (shilling) https://fulldecent.github.io/system-bus-radio/ allows to broadcast just by loading a web page. And, importantly, this is an attack vector that is reasonable to execute offline (i.e. connected to a local network with HTTP services, but not the internet).

Perhaps there is space in the market for a product to detect vulnerabilities in Docker images? Pull the image, create container, poll software installed and check for vulnerabilities in installed software.

I'm just a web dev, so it's far beyond my skill set, and it could be out there already.

Bonus if it's pluggable into CI/CD systems, I guess it'd be practically useless if it wasn't.
Tracking individual behaviour on their own site without notification is still illegal under the GDPR, so no, they should not absolutely be able to do that.
It's a grand pronouncement, and also pretty detached from reality to claim that companies never fire talented people. A few counterexamples: Steve Jobs, JK Rowling, Walt Disney, Thomas Edison, Isaac Newton, Jerry Seinfeld, Nikola Tesla... the list goes on.
I think you're stuck in the biotech == people mindset.

On the bacterial side, it is fantastic for quickly sequcinging and closing genomes. Personally, I think the killer use case is field portable and real time sequencing of pathogens. I've worked with groups (.gov and private, defense and health related) that want to put minION + flongles to use in applications like early detection for bio terrorism and pathogen surveillance.
>Honestly, I think the best way to tackle it is not to outright ban the foods, but just add an excise tax. If we added a 10% tax to soft drinks, fries and pizza, it probably wouldn't make a huge difference to the average citizen's spending. It would be a 10% increase in your food budget if that's all you eat though. If you want to go crazy, add a program that lets you earn that back by doing healthy things, like riding a bike. We should probably do that anyways. If we want to reduce the amount of driving people do, paying them walk/bike places instead of driving isn't a bad system either.

The behavioral epidemic is defined by being irrational and not in the self-interest of the sufferers. How would a slight change in food prices lead to any change in behavior?
Yup. This. Give us an embedded library that will work with my Java app. JAX RS or or at least callable from within my JAX RS resource. Spring would be nice, too.

Christianity is not the dominant religion of the ruling or media class in any meaningful sense, most likely not even in a nominal sense. It’s hard to understand how it’s “punching up” for rich billionaires to mock the beliefs of predominantly the working classes and rural areas.

But that argument is kind of weak when it comes packed with example that claims fat is bad and sugar+fiber is good.

That is just not how nutrition works either. And honestly, the processed/unprocessed distinction will end up with better result then "fat is bad".
How did you proceed?

I think it's worth asking how much more time spent equals more productivity. For me, that's only true for very short periods. I find I'm way more productive for the long haul if I'm getting plenty of sleep.

The thing that convinced me to try was this presentation from game developers on the limits of crunch time: https://lostgarden.home.blog/2008/09/28/rules-of-productivit...
Maybe I am misunderstanding your post, but I get the impression you consider APT == script kiddie. I was of the opposite understanding, that Advanced Persistent Threat != script kiddie. It seems right there in the name, an entity that's been and continues to be around, and has shown from TTP analysis that they have the resources to have nice tools, and the competence to use them well. I suppose you could maybe consider the constant presence of skiddies over time to be a Persistent Threat, but probably not an Advanced one. I have also heard of companies claiming to have been breached by an APT to try to excuse their poor or lack of security process.

But my understanding of script kiddies vs APT was that the former does things like buying lists of systems accepting RDP connections from the public internet, and then proceeding to light up the SOC like a Christmas tree when they start deploying crypto miner bots. And that the latter comes in over a supply chain compromise, uses heretofore-not-analyzed malware to compromise monitoring so their traffic data is "accidentally" discarded by the netflow collectors, and then patiently spreads across the enterprise through lateral movement until they find the credit card numbers or diplomatic documents, depending on whether they are a criminal fraud group or state espionage group.
Sweden turns out quite strange of a country for the 21st century, reminds me of the USSR in late 80s:

- The situation is bad, real bad, but no one publicly acknowledges that;

- The government, instead of taking unpopular and painful but needed steps to try and handle the problem, makes itself "don't see any problem, our people are happy";

- By all European standards the policy is a mistake, but no one in office steps forward and says so, they rather play to the tune of "we can't see any problem, public opinion of the government is quite high". Kinda of asking to play louder the band on the Titanic.

- Swedes keep on "trusting the government to do what they do as they know better", while it is unclear on what their trust is based.

- To outsiders, this attitude of all sides involved sort of means "we accepted 'the devil take the hindmost' philosophy as we want to keep our daily happy about routine unchanged, so be it". Again, as I said - typical thinking of USSR of 80s. It didn't end well.
If the thing about reviews-for-vouchers was in the user manual though then it really is related to the product, not the seller...

"Corporate food and beverage companies such as Coca Cola have engaged in what I will refer to as “corporate scientific activities.” These activities are designed to produce and influence the scientific knowledge used to evaluate, promote, legitimise, and regulate their products"

Years ago, I remember listening to a podcast and while I can't find it the host was excerpting a study he was critical of on and noting it was sponsored by coca-cola (this might be it: http://www.latestinpaleo.com/paleo-podcast/2013/11/15/latest... )
