You've never spent time with people who were really poor, have you? A lot of people live in situations where their simplest appliances (like ovens) don't work. Or they cannot afford a real (rental) home at all, and live out of extended stay motels.

A bigger group than these are kids who grow up only ever seeing processed, pre-cooked foods. Many of these kids do not watch TV. What they see in their immediate family/friend group is all they know.

There are reasons the obesity rates in the US are worst amongst poor, and especially urban, people. Many privileged, educated people would say it's a moral issue, but it's often an environmental issue.

And probably more than a few "cavemen" died of carbon monoxide poisoning trying to cook over open fires in their "caves".

If hewere drinking the fruit juice in place of Mountain Dew it might be better, but I doubt he was chugging Mountain Dew for breakfast before he started drinking fruit juice.

The problem is that people think fruit juice is healthy and nutritious, and they aren't aware they should limit consumption.
Your hard times are only hard relative to that of others, and even then, only in some aspects.
With potentially hundreds of different packages playing the role of B, this could eat up a lot of manpower. What if the breakage is subtle and not well known upstream? While it could work, it sounds like something that would take a lot of QA work by Canonical.

Agreed, the templates are not exhibiting how to avoid presentational classes. This may be a case where small-scope examples are poorly suited to real-world implementation, but I'll take a quick stab at moving to more descriptive (dare I say semantic) class names.

------

EXAMPLE: http://foundation.zurb.com/page-templates4/blog.html

Line 45: <div class="large-9 columns">

CSS:
.row .large-9 {
position: relative;
width: 75%;
}
.row .columns {
position: relative;
padding-left: 0.9375em;
padding-right: 0.9375em;
float: left;
}

------

With 'the magic of Scss', you could replace multiple presentational classes with a single class that refers to the element's content or purpose, and then use @extend for the above-defined grid classes.

So our new HTML would look like:

<div class="article-content">

And the Scss:

.article-content {
@extend .large-9;
@extend .columns;
}

------

Edit: formatting, also: there are plenty of debates to be had about writing classes this way. The subject merits its own lengthy discussion and (I think) the answer changes depending on what you're trying to do, so I ain't touchin it.
maybe because it becomes like a video game. You're alienated from your targets. It desensitizes you... The funny thing is, all the reviews were made by the same guy. It's the same writing style, even the ones that look like they were written by people reacting to these comments. Hilarious!

Doesn't really matter for dropbox users though. They're the people the seller is putting in charge of being its face in the support place, and they're awful.
I typically just do a *.example.com @A record to the IP address, works just as well and would fix the specific problem in the link (unless he's worried about having to extract individual subdomains to go separate places later).
"Ordered" means "having order", not "having order that I wanted it to have". The order, unless you have sorted it, is the order of creation of elements. Which may not be what you want if you want numeric key order and you insert keys in different order. So what it means is that PHP array/hash structure supports the concept of order - so you can ask questions like "what is the first element? what is the next one?" Not for all hash structures this is true - for many hashes, asking "what is the next element after this one" is meaningless since there's no order defined on elements.

This will be great once we can all agree on what is healthy!

CSPI (mentioned in the article) campaigned hard in the 80s for fast food restaurants to switch from lard to cholesterol-free 100% vegetable oil. After all, back then, cholesterol and saturated fat were considered evil. They complied and switched to partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, which was laden with trans fat... which is now widely thought to be worse than saturated fat and is itself being phased out (again at CSPI's urging).
In general, I would recommend learning about typography. The elements of typographic style by Robert Bringhurst is one that I liked as a typographic reference. I'm reading typographie by Emil Ruder and Display Typography by Erik K Bain right now and I would recommend the latter.

Design Thinking by Ellen Lupton will help with concept development, sketching, and research. I'm reading Graphic Design Process by Skolos & Wedell right now and I would recommend that too.

If you ever want to learn more about advertising, creative ideas, strategies and concept development, read The Advertising Concept Book by Pete Barry, it's surprisingly big.

Good article. I semi expected a list of tools to work remotely but instead got some really useful advice. I've freelanced for about two years and it's still easy to fall into traps regarding rates and aims.
Unless they are experienced developers doing complex data structures, this is probably a good advice. References need to be approached very carefully to use them right. It doesn't help that in old PHP versions you had to use references when working with objects, and some people assumed some bad habits from those times and these habits propagate through code without people actually understanding what's going on.

I would think that in any decent courtroom, then eventually would, since those same protections apply to forum operators, chat rooms, picture sharing sites, etc. But I don't blame you at all for not wanting to be the test case, since that would probably be rather expensive and likely to disrupt your personal life.

Your ISP is obviously an ISP, and most law enforcement agencies understand that and that it means that if something dirty comes through there, then an employee of the ISP most likely didn't do it. But if you're using your home PC as an exit node... most agencies probably have no idea what Tor is, and would assume that you personally were doing whatever came through it, and would commence with the whole search, seizure, and media circus before they figured it out.
Data structures like trees, etc. are pretty hard to do without them, due to default array by-value semantics.
"That basic skills can help you build a home, or a city. That your civilization cannot blossom" - Not everybody wants to live in a western home, some people have houses that may appear "poor looking", but are in fact well adapted to their environment. Not every one wants to live in a city. Many believe that growth itself is the cause of inequalities and sustainability and economical "equilibrium" would be the alternative utopia to growth.

I'm tired of the argument that if you hire only rock stars, it doesn't matter if they work remotely.

There are not that many rock stars in the world. Even fewer of them want to work for you. (Most rock stars work for themselves already.)

Thus, this argument is a fantasy for most companies, especially large companies. It's like saying if you only hire scrupulously honest people, you don't need accounting controls. It's logically consistent, but a bad idea in the real world.

Of course, most employees think they are rock stars.[1] That gap between perception and reality is what makes it hard to manage people.

look to the money

What is that supposed to mean? Coke (et al) probably make more money per volume on the diet drinks. So now that we've looked at the money, so what? As for health, you've got conspiracy nuts on one side, and a clear link with obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay on the other.

I'm uncomfortable with how this article keeps repeating that because it's "not possible" to do a better study, that the result must be conclusive. That simply does not follow. The fact that you can't do a better study doesn't mean we should believe the result of the best study we have uncritically - and it certainly doesn't mean by itself that the "smoking gun" has been found. So many health myths have been conclusively believed in the past that we should know better than this by now.
You are being pedantic, as it's pretty obvious that mburns meant TOR end-users, as distinct from those donating exit node bandwidth.

I would think HNers of all people would understand the idea of abstraction and information hiding. We have so many parts of our lives that to try to get a complete understanding of even one of them is pretty complicated.

And that's just dental hygiene.

So yes, while this libertarian ideal of "the free market solves everything" and "fuck the consumer if they won't educate themselves" is nice in theory, in practice it's not effective public policy. It simply isn't possible to be completely informed on everything that goes into every part of our lives -- if you actually want to live, that is.
I was going to publish a comment on the study about that- my background is in agricultural economics so I'm very familiar with the database they used. I am curious to know which FAOstat data they used. Was it Sugar, Raw Equivalent or Sugar, Refined Equivalent? Either way, the FAO data is calculated based on production + imports - exports. They admit in the paper itself that this is not a perfect proxy ("It is thought that much of the FAO data on foods and nutrients in the food supply have limits to their reliability") for consumption so it is alarming, but predictable to see this being termed as such by the media.

I don't know if it's the best series of data to use for this. I would have used a much longer series if possible because to be honest the past ten years have not seen a dramatic change in sugar consumption, but I guess their diabetes prevalence dataset only spanned that long. But that brings up the question of the lag for developing diabetes itself, it's not like 50 extra calories. I also couldn't find if they threw out countries with weird or obviously low quality data. Israel's data, for example, is a bit strange. It goes from around 500 kcal/capita/day sugar to 230. I find it hard to believe that consumption habits changed so drastically there.

They also do not discuss much about why they, as non-economists, chose to use econometric rather than epidemiology or biostat methods. I also hate that their final graph is totally unlabeled and there is no option to download a format that would allow one to see which dots correspond to which country.

It would be wise for some of the alarmists on this thread to read the paper and this sentence in particular " Hence, any of the findings we observe here are meant to be exploratory in nature, helping us to detect broad population patterns that deserve further testing through prospective longitudinal cohort studies in international settings, which are only now coming underway."

Because then your trust path includes the userspace insmod utility and every library and system service it depends on, all of which would themselves need signature verification and hardening against things like LD_LIBRARY_PATH (even from root).

Otherwise, you can easily construct a harmful payload consisting of the distro-signed Shim, that kernel, and a modified userspace that loads an arbitrary module which takes over the kernel and runs arbitrary code in ring 0. And then that distro's Secure Boot signing key gets revoked.
I do what exactly what you're talking about, and there's still no way I can match the prices of a canned stew with stuff I buy in a grocery store. It's not like the cost of beef goes down per pound when I buy it from the grocery store -- I pay a fixed cost, regardless of my quantity.

And this isn't surprising: $5 is remarkably cheap for a beef-based product. They do it by using remnant beef, which you can't really get in stores. Grocery store stew meat is probably 2-3x more expensive than the stuff they're using. Mine will taste better and be higher quality, but it won't be cheaper.
Yes, it is.

You know, it's funny because i got a very clever Pay Pal phishing e-mail this morning, linking to a PHP script hosted on renault-astrakhan.ru

What's worse is that i sent invitations to dropbox time ago to people that i have to now contact and say "Please be aware of this phishing e-mail disguised as a Pay Pal e-mail."

+1 for an alternative service, to be honest. Dropbox is very well done, but this is a good reason to stop using their service if they can't secure their clients' information.

It would greatly benefit them if they found the root of the problem, and reported if it were indeed an issue with them or one of the clients for dropbox.

I've heard this said quite a bit but am way too ignorant about it to form a logical opinion or know where to find more information. Basically, what information from the Gov't do we have a right to? All of it? Some of it?

I know there are classified documents that are kinda essential to keeping people safe that would be better left confidential, but they eventually make it out, albeit heavily redacted. Is there some quick-reference (worth a shot..) or a place of reference I could at least start my journey? There's a lot of misinformation out there, especially regarding this case specifically.
So basically a sock puppet.

Tangentially related: It drives me nuts to deal with people whose default answers are "no," "you must be doing it wrong" and so on. Particularly the moderators who insisted someone must have guessed a ten digit random email address -- because Dropbox and its vendors couldn't POSSIBLY have ever done anything wrong, and it's MUCH more likely that a spammer magically brute-forced a 10 billion combination address! Grrr. I'm not sure what the right word is to describe that sort of personality, but such people should never have contact with customers. Or with me.

Yeah, you're right. How dare a guy risk his own life for the sake of doing what's right and telling us about the injustices of the United Stated Government we otherwise would have never been told or heard about. How dare someone like Bradley Manning stand up for the people, how dare he stand up for the truth... If the Government are killing innocent people and leading the public astray unless they tell us, we don't have the right to know the truth, right? This guy is only looking at spending the rest of his life in prison for the sake of letting people know what was happening, no big deal.

I'll be back later, just going to turn on my TV and watch some Fox News. You like that channel too? So informative and they always tell us the truth, who needs Wikileaks when we have unbiased televised news? Maybe we can watch it together sometime, eat some genetically modified corn, polish our military grade automatic guns and sip on fluorinated water, it'll be great.
