It exists; when I was in grade school (in the 90s) we learned about the Food Pyramid. As I recall, the base (and thus, the thing I should be eating the most of) was grains, and the top (the thing I should eat the least of) was sugar.

From that, you surmised that he exploited the "make a new wall post" form by replacing the user ID with another of his choosing?
Sorry, I should have been clear: I meant fine legally, in the context of the fifth amendment.
It is not a statement of what I believe the social view/norm/etc should be, or whether it should be allowed.
Only an objective assessment of whether it would fall within the context of what was currently protected and the intent of protecting that.

Personally, I would find it abhorrent, but that is not particularly relevant to the law.
Makes sense. The title is still a bit of an overgeneralization.
With respect, if you think the deal is unfair to you, why do you accept it? Why don't you just deal with the customer directly?
>>We need a discussion on what being a democracy actually means.

> I'm not sure a magazine about diabetes is something to be appalled about.

The magazine is mounted on a shelf encrusted with boxes of discounted chocolates/candy. I think the point was the irony - perhaps after stocking up on Mars bars we can mentally pat ourselves on the back for flicking through a personal-health rag or feel less bad about gobbling sweets as we look at overweight/deformed celebrities.
Thanks for translating. I couldn't remember what the US equivalent was.
This is all very good PR.... BUT. The critical safety concern with the Tesla is.......

You guessed it. The high voltage system. It can kill you or a first responder with a touch.

It's not just about batteries catching fire, although that's gotten a lot of press lately. A chief concern during a Tesla accident is the exposure of high voltage components.

It's a big concern for first responders. Read it from the horse's mouth, the Tesla Emergency Response Guide. Page 16 highlights the "no cut" zones of the car. It's practically the entire length of the car.

http://www.teslamotors.com/sites/default/files/downloads/201...

There was a video they put out as well that details the steps first responders need to take to cut someone out of a car. It's HELLA COMPLICATED and in very close proximity to dangerous high voltage components.

And yes, gas cars can explode, etc. I don't mean this as fuel for the gas vs. electric debate (no pun intended). I hope very much the industry can improve electrical safety over time. All I'm saying is, never trust Elon Musk PR to tell you the whole picture.
How do pedestrians fare when hit by a Tesla? I'll save my cheering for when they have a self driving one so I no longer have to worry about drunk or distracted drivers.
Wow, my sister-in-law lived in India for 6 months training people. She never experienced anything like this, apart from a few men politely asking her out. Is this phenomena a regional thing or something?
Nice sleuthing! Foodland in SA is correct.
How about bike racks in the back? I wonder which placement is better for mileage due to aerodynamics: Top or back?
The problem is that a first-past-the-post election system makes a two-party system a near mathematical certainty:

http://zesty.ca/voting/sim/:

"The Plurality and Hare methods both favour extremists: they can squeeze out a moderate candidate. The blue candidate, stuck in the middle between the red and green candidates, will win when public opinion is moderate with the Approval and Condorcet methods, but has no chance of winning in the Plurality and Hare methods."

That is fine, except for the fact that our heath care system is fundamentally fucked up and since we are moving toward a socialize system (which I am not trying to take a side on for the purposes of this comment), its going to cost you and I more money cause unhealthy people cost more (they get sicker more often, they have higher percentage of cancer, heart disease, etc - they are in the hospital a lot more).

I would be completely fine with all this stuff if insurance premiums were tied to weight/health - unfortunately for everyone who does exercise and stays in shape, they are not .... yet
But that's what the trial period for, isn't it? If you can't figure out in 6 months (typical trial period in Germany) if he's a good fit, you have a problem anyway.
Question:

Assume the year is 1790.

DannyBee and PG are having a conversation in a sewer beneath Boston. DannyBee tells PG that he is going to rob the town bank and set it afire.

This was a verbal communication between the two.

There was a USG agent around the corner in another tunnel. He heard an echo of the two talking. This is the only evidence of the two communicating about the matter.

How is this prosecuted?

(please forgive the weak analogy - and improve if you can... but please tell me the 1790 equiv argument for what we are dealing with where the snooping is either protected or denied)

Article by Timothy B. Lee, as in Sir Tim Berners-Lee father of the WWW??? :P
> It turns out they didn't secretly have reliable information

And more to the point, they knew exactly what their information was worth. A document known as the "Downing Street Memo" is pretty blunt on that: "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." (From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Downing_Street_memo , http://downingstreetmemo.com/memos.html)

We're not talking about any random document either. It was, in effect, the executive summary of the pre-Iraq war situation, given to the prime minister of UK by his private secretary.

Err... what? If what you are trying to say, in the most roundabout way possible, is the Tesla accelerates fast- sure. But so does a top fuel dragster, and neither is a sports car.

A sports car is a small, usually two seat, two door automobile designed for spirited performance and nimble handling. Sports cars may be spartan or luxurious but high maneuverability and minimum weight are requisite.

> And eat some Vitamins

The fact you think in any shape or form vitamins have a relevance to you shows you have a total miss understanding of food science and how it relates to you.

Unless you are starving because of drought in a poor country or are living on the streets with an addiction, then fair enough.
Nice. Way to miss the fucking point. Let me break it down for you. The article was an article on sexual harassment and rape in a specific country. Not this country. A different country. Totally different cultural values, objectives. You rambled on about two completely different issues:

1. The "developed world" and objectification of women here.

2. Pornography and the porn industry.

The developed world, its issues are irrelevant here. Every time, a god damn article comes about something wrong in the third world, it is not necessary to bring up this world. It conflates the issue and introduces moral relativism. Sure there is female infanticide and female genital mutilation but HEY, women in tech in the bay area get shafted too. That in essence is the argument being made.

To address the other issues of your muddled argument. Sure pornography might involve objectifying women. Sure it might be a bad thing. Sure someone must do something about it. Guess what? It is fucking irrelevant here. This is about women who go to a country and expect not to get raped.

I think next time, I should just down vote and move on, instead of spending my time arguing online.
"If you do sports twice a week."

I would argue that 6 x 30mins is the minimum and mcdonalds should be once a month, not twice a week.

And skip the vitamins.

Agreed. People are too deluded and forget about the fundamental issue - choice.

I believe this is what they refer to as a "circle jerk".A bunch of people agreeing with each other on an issue that doesn't have a right or wrong.
Hence the explosive bolts.
At least that means that I would not need to help them searching my phone. Is that correct?

My phone needs a pass code to allow any interaction and I could conceivably encrypt data on it. What if I get arrested, but on grounds of the 4th amendment won't reveal the pass code?

Oops. Meant to reply to cgshaw, the child comment.
I would agree if I was free to not pay for other's health care.

If I am responsible for helping you when you're sick then am responsible for helping you not get sick in the first place.
FWIW, the SLS gets around this by having explosive bolts in the hinges that blow when the car is past something like 90˚ in orientation and has a velocity of 0 for more than N seconds. However, the SLS is a $300k car, so no expense is spared. That solution might be a little less feasible for a car that costs what the Model X will.
I read something recently --- can't remember what --- that suggested that the expensive ceremony around obtaining phone wiretaps at the state level were in part motivated by the concern that wiretaps came close to reading the thoughts of the accused.
The post in fact also makes that distinction. "The Team", abstract entity, vs "the team", the people.

Corn is the source of the corn syrup that ends up in all of those soft drinks, snacks, salad dressings etc

Corn syrup has permeated just about anything that doesn't come off of a vine or out of the ground. HFCS is added to bread, fruit juices, hot dogs and even soy sauce. It is quite a chore to find bread without HFCS.
I'm not sure you want to drive an electric car in the snow. Not that the torque wouldn't be great, but the cold would wreck your range.
Here's the Reuters quote from NSA Director Keith Alexander that most people (myself included) are using for this: "What we’re in the process of doing – not fast enough – is reducing our system administrators by about 90 percent."
I disagree. There was nothing to lose by sending this and everything to gain. There was no character required to write an apology when you're no longer near the situation.

Yes.
Your diary is not testimony.
Your blood is not testimony.
Your handwriting is not testimony.
Testimony is testimony.

As mentioned elsewhere, you miss the point of the fifth amendment. It was not because self-testimony was sacred. It is because people were being tortured to get it.

Given that a diary is already written, no current harm will come to you from its use.

Now, if your question is whether this should be protected that's a question about society and whether we need to pass a new amendment. But it's not what the fifth was there for.
Accepting the money would be a death sentence, essentially. Nobody would do it.
Give me names of 4-5 Google products launched recently which were results of 20% project? Please, just 4-5 product. Real products, not toys like "Google Surveys".

Actually, living long til old age is what drains the health care system. Once you pass retirement and no longer working you are simply a drain to the system. So your opinion goes completely out the window.
I imagine this is more along the lines of 4th amendment or thoughtcrime.

I actually believe we are likely to need another amendment to protect us in the future, because I don't think the fifth does or would do a good job of this.
Note that the "Falcon Wings" are not exactly the same as regular gull-wings. The Falcon Wings have an additional joint where the roof part meets the window (see picture: http://i.imgur.com/htiMVlP.png). This reduces the overall height requirement when the door is opened.

Considering how bad some of the current ones are, more. For example, a lot of current software is written in C++, which is a bloated mess. IMHO, we need a new systems language like Go or Rust.

pg and the mods are extremely stubborn about the original title rule. For the minority that sensationalize headlines, they're throwing away modified titles that are actually useful out of the context of the original site.

Even if they only edited abusive titles, it would still solve this problem. As it stands, the way to edit a title is to blogspam an article and choose your own title.
You might want to look into Moo. They print funky business cards, and have a "Moo for business" product that promises a "simple online template": http://us.moo.com/products/business-services/

I've only used them for personal business cards, not a whole company, so I can't vouch for this particular service.
I might receive a lot of flak for this, but isn't HFCS sweeter than more natural sugars? As in, you can achieve the same amount of sweetness with fewer calories? Personally I think it gets a bad rap. The bigger problem is the lack of physical activity and the massive input of calories... the 'quality' of those calories just isn't, IMO, as big a deal as people make it out to be.
Agree that this isn't new. The only different bit is that, when I first looked at this page in February 212, it said deliveries would be in "Early 2014" and now it's just 2014.
I think the idea is that larger sensors/image area allows for higher focal length lenses, which naturally have smaller depth of field. i.e. medium format hasselblads had a normal lens of 80mm, with a narrower DOF per f stop, whereas 35mm cameras had a normal lens of 50mm, with a larger DOF, etc. There's some curve somewhere that describes this.
Promises, Deferreds, and Futures are all names for the same general idea, that which uses a monad to stand in for the result of operation that may or may not have been completed.

There are implementations of this concept for many languages, from Java's futures to C# Tasks to Twisted Deferred to various JS Promise/Future implementations.

One thing that I find amusing in the callbacks+/-futures discussion is Google Guava's ListenableFutures (http://code.google.com/p/guava-libraries/wiki/ListenableFutu...):

The JDK ships with Futures under java.util.concurrent, and they do what you would expect. What Guava adds is the ability to use Futures in the "pure" sense (get/check result) and with callbacks or delegates. The neat thing here is that you can use whichever paradigm is appropriate for the design of different modules of your system, and safely mix and match as needed.

Guava isn't the answer to all the questions in the Futures world, but I do think it brings a neat idea to the table here.
Freedom and a superfluity of choice are not the same thing. The latter is frequently offered as a substitute for the former.
http://www.economist.com/node/17723028
The problem is that the Constitution we have simply doesn't offer the protections we need. When it was written, nobody would have thought to even debate protecting against keeping a copy of every single correspondence a person made, or a log of everything a person read, even in their own homes.

It would be like today considering if we should have a protection against the government taking our DNA and making half-dinosaur hybrid clones of us to use as soldiers. It is not technically impossible, but it's very difficult to see how it would ever be practical.

Unfortunately, the amendment process we have is proving to be rather inadequate. It seems likely that if we didn't already have the Fifth Amendment, we'd never be able to get it considered as a serious issue, much less ratified. Some people would be complaining about the government torturing its own citizens all the time, and the President would be telling us that torture is "a powerful tool, and with great power comes great responsibility", and that we must limit that power so it wouldn't be abused. And at the same time, he'd be going to SCOTUS to try and get permission to do it even more (after all, how can you call it "cruel and unusual" when it's so commonplace?).
I agree that obesity and lack of exercise are terrible things - the latter is something I struggle with. I agree that it's quite ironic that diabetes magazines are sold next to junk food. I agree that many people have screwed-up priorities and self-control and that they would be better off without this stuff.

That said, I strongly disagree, to the point of revulsion, with the implicit desire of the author, which I see echoed in various forms and about various subjects, that the government take action to ban any of this. ("Imagine if 65% of the population had a gambling problem and we let the banks put pokies inside ATMs." - emphasis mine).

It appalls me that HN is so adamantly desirous of the freedom of the press, the freedom of anonymity, the freedom of assembly, etc., but sees no problem with calling for the mass restrictions of freedoms in work, housing, healthcare, and the like. Even, apparently, the freedom to choose what you eat. It's revolting to us that someone might decide what you should be able to say, but we are happy to make moral pronouncements from our padded office chairs on others' behalf, as long as it's something that won't affect us.

Let me be clear - I am not absolving these companies of all wrong. They commit fraud when they lie about ingredients, they are implicit in assault or even murder when they sell actively toxic (as opposed to simply unhealthy) food and advertise that it is safe, and they regularly abuse our screwed-up political system to gain unfair and immoral advantages over competitors. These things are all wrong.

Selling unhealthy food, with an honest description of what's in it, isn't.

He even mentions it in the post - consumers are voting with their feet. We can disdain the stereotypical "people of Walmart" all we want, but we have no business forcing them to live the way we think is best. We're no better than the NSA if we start going down that road. No one is coercing them to buy there. There are plenty of cheap and healthy alternatives. We just have to come to terms with the fact that they are making a poor choice, and we have no right to force them to stop.

We absolutely should encourage them not to. It's perfectly fine if you choose to boycott these places. It's fine if you don't let your children eat that food, and it's fine if you make it your life's work to making that food obsolete. But you have to draw the line there. Once you start forcing people, at the threat (ultimately) of death, to eat certain things, you are no better than the NSA forcing people at the threat of death to say or not say certain things. That's not our place.

</lengthy rant>

All that said, he's right. The world is, as he bluntly puts it, "fucking insane", and this is one of the ways that shows.

Holy cow, this article got flagged to death. Probably rightly so. It's on the third page right now, despite having 65 points in 2 hours.

> (And eat some Vitamins, but that is usually no problem I believe.)

As a european living in the US, I am appalled at the sheer quantity of vitamins/pseudo health products that my roommates consume. Do you really need this? I don't know a single person in France who takes vitamins on regular basis.
Fwiw I wouldn't even list an employment of three weeks on my CV.
Yes, very much so.

The other thing is that loyalty is not a binary; it really shouldn't be discussed as if it's an either/or.
The City Mayor Bloomberg is Leaving to His Successor
I've lived in Tokyo for years, and have been stared at many of times, masturbated at, molested on the train, and have had unwanted filming up my skirt.
I think these experiences prepared me to keep my expectations low when traveling.
I was not too shocked by the staring (and photo taking) in India, even though it occurred at a level I'd never experienced before. I was also lucky enough to be traveling with two Indian friends (a guy and a girl), and they DID mind when we found other people taking my picture.
I remember thinking many times I was lucky to have traveled and lived abroad before visiting India; otherwise I would have been as shocked as the author of this article.

While we should be able to expect more, people (and especially young Americans) need to know that society's rules and how much they are actually respected can be completely different. Dancing at a festival or shopping in an extremely crowded place may be exhilarating but even these simple activities come with risks that are just not there back home. (Even a woman going outside alone comes with risks in some countries. I would not feel safe going outside in India without the company of a trusted male friend). Even if rape is technically illegal, that technicality will not protect you, or even provide much comfort after being harmed. Maybe the world feels smaller than ever since technology is connecting us all, but it's safer to not assume everyone is working within the same moral framework. I found that out the hard way.

Women absolutely should not have to worry about these risks, and it is shameful that we do. But we should be aware of it and not ignore it when we are outside of our own country and law systems. This needs to be discussed with students before they embark on study abroad. It's good to talk about it so that others realize they need to be very careful in some places, but I think in this case change needs to come from within India itself.
