I've heard that claim repeatedly, but Abbott disagrees with you and everyone else who says it. Look at Ensure Complete: http://ensure.com/products/ensure-complete-shakes

"Ensure Complete, one simple choice for 4-in-1 nutrition. Each delicious shake provides balanced nutrition and targeted muscle, heart, immune, and bone health benefits. It’s a simple choice to get the right nutrients in the right amounts to help you stay strong. Take charge of your health and your nutrition with Ensure Complete!"

From their FAQ: http://ensure.ca/en/faq/

"For how long can I use Ensure? Ensure products deliver complete and balanced nutrition that is always beneficial. There is no time limit to using Ensure products. In fact, long-term use is encouraged if you’re at a nutritional risk (for example, if you’re an older adult)."

"Can Ensure replace a meal? Yes. Ensure products are complete and balanced, when used in appropriate amounts they can be used to replace meals."
Same system in Sweden unfortunately. Not as widely adopted though (movie tickets, wow...)

Let Me Explain Why Miley Cyrus’ VMA Performance Was Our Top Story This Morning
It makes sense in a large park but not for personal use? Sounds like you're ok with scaling the noise to the size of the job? It's really not a marginal 15 minutes if you're dealing with any number or large trees. Then there's the removal to deal with. I use a walk-behind mulcher. The machine is running for the same amount of time a blower would (or less), but at the end the leaves are mulched in a bag that I can dump along the edge of the lawn to compost. The material disappears in less than a year. I don't like that I'm making noise for several hours every fall, but it would actually take four times as long to rake and bag it (I'm serious about that number).

I have deferred for years pulling the trigger on a blower to clean the interminable tree cruft off the driveway, though. In light of this thread, I will have to think even harder before going that route. I do appreciate quiet.
And then you'd have to import prisoners, like the Netherlands...

Are they using Diaspora, beyond the joining part? If they want to post an update or a picture, do they post in both Facebook and Diaspora?

I would imagine some active users post on both, and most users would just use Facebook. So the users of both will be annoyed to get double updates for some people. The users of one of them will wonder why the other friend knows more about their mutual friend. I can't see getting into Facebook space as a good thing. For example Twitter seems to have a different space, Instagram also seems different.

I've seen sooo many people get up in arms about completely replacing food. "ZOMG WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE LIKE FOOD" etc..

The whole point of Soylent is that it is a 100% food replacement. If people just want to skip meals...just skip them! Or have a glass of milk.

The human body does not operate on the edge of deprivation, and quite contrary you could go quite a long period of time eating just rice. This notion that every meal must provide a full-spectrum nutritionally complete intake is not nutritionally or practically valid.

on those days I'm too busy at work to stop and smell the roses and go out for an 1.5hr lunch break

It takes literally seconds to throw together a sandwich. Or to microwave some leftovers. Etc. Pitching Soylent compared to infomercial-style broken food habits (you muss! you fuss!) has always seemed very dishonest to me.
That was the first thing I thought about (and came to the HN comments for). I like this conceptually, just want to know how I can meld it with my Angular Directives. They would seem to overlap no?
Sweden has a relevant law to define a public requirement for when someone can become liable for publishing secrets¹. It demands evidence that shows that the information was correctly classified, and that some damage actually happened from the publishing. Simply having a seal on the document is not enough.

The precedent case for this law happened during the cold war, and was about a newspaper that published a counter-espionage report (Case: NJA 1988 s. 118²).

The military argued that the national safety was damaged by the publishing, but would not give any details because of the nature of doing national security work.

The court made two tests to decide the case. Did the information deserve to be classified under secrecy, and was the damages reported by the military believable. On the first, they said it was doubtful, and on the second they said a straight no. Case dismissed.

To me it sounds as very clear and public requirement, which would work fine in both Snowden's and Manning's cases.

1) Please note that this is only about publishing secrets. Breaking a contract or an oath can and is likely to be punished under different laws.

Unfortunate that they used a name ending in 'uino' since this is in no way an Arduino and not compatible with Arduino in terms of code or pin out. So no existing code or examples will work with it and none of the exiting Arduino shields.

Also, I think their code examples are disingenuous: their Arduino code could be greatly simplified. (e.g. why does the JavaScript code not include any port initialization but the Arduino code does; why have two digitalWrites in the Arduino code, but one in the JavaScript)?

Southampton are currently managed by a guy who speaks no English: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauricio_Pochettino

Giovanni Trapattoni manages the Republic of Ireland national team (and is one of the highest paid international managers around) speaks notoriously poor english. When he managed previously in Germany, he was also known for mangling the local tongue.

Jose Mourinho is a fascinating character. He is highly educated and speaks 5 or 6 languages fluently. He is one of the most tactically astute managers in the modern game. He's also notoriously paranoid, convinced everything is a conspiracy against him, which seems to stem from an incident in his childhood where an uncle was a wealthy member of the ruling elite, but a peaceful coup meant that the family lost a lot of their wealth. Here's a good documentary covering his recent managerial career:

My XML kung-fu is weak... is there a reason that nobody uses a second namespace/schema for this kind of thing (well, other than ASP.Net web forms and we all loved those)? I mean, XML has a painful list of features created to allow for extensibility, seems funny that we don't use them.
Actually custom html elements are part of a spec: http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-custom-elements-20130514/ This method is a much cleaner approach, separating the declaration of functionality from the declaration of style. Your <input> example is convenient but does not apply to divs or other elements that could be used.
Perhaps this is partly due to the multitude of parties, which in turn is due to the nature of the electoral system?

In a two party system, a lot of people feel like they are voting for the lesser of two evils, so negative campaigning is presumably far more helpful to your cause.

If you have to compete with multiple parties for votes, you need to offer more than simply criticism of the opposition.
Yeah flax seed is a nice omega3 source as well as a fibre source. But it tastes disgustingly bitter, and even the mostly finely powdered forms are like sand in your mouth. So for textural and taste reasons, I switched to alternatives.
No, but it sounds logical to me that it would be a lot more efficient to get, say, X tons of calcium from calcium carbonate than from milk, or protein from a high yielding source instead of one that needs to be tasty.

Any password derivation scheme works brilliantly until you are the only one using it. The moment it becomes widespread and people begin to target it - it goes anywhere from significantly weaker to trivial to crack.
As far as I can tell, the x-ray works similar to the dentist office. While, the basic idea behind the active backscatter mm-wave is similar to radar. It is my understanding that the majority of the TSA owned mm-wave machines are active. You have a number of antennas that pulse and listen. I would need to look up the specs, but I suspect they are in the 75 GHz range which is above the oxygen absorption (60 GHz) but below more expensive technologies in the 100+ GHz range. There are a number of "cheap" technologies that have emerged for radar in this range on the market at the 75 GHz frequency, and I think it is being driven by this technology.

All in all, the mm-wave at the powers they use are harmless. The depth of penetration to the skin is sub millimeter and your body dissipates any heat that would be generated. It is most likely a pulsed system and your overall exposure time is small. But, the most fragile part of your body is your eyes. The capillary blood vessels are much smaller and wouldn't dissipate the heat as readily as the body. And it is my professional opinion, that overtime, it could do damage to your lenses and cause cataracts. I would love to get a grant to study these effects.

As far as I have seen, there are no IEEE specs on specific absorption rates (how much heat energy is created by being irradiated with a source), they are typically categorized as "body", "head", and "appendages". If anyone has information on specific body parts (I personally need it for teeth and fingernail work I do) I would be very interested in the FDA specific absorption rates.

When you close your eyes your eyelids will dissipate any heat generated and the mm-wave will not penetrate through the skin. One interesting test would be if anyone could get what the images look like, and see if you can tell where the eyes are. If there there is a difference in the backscatter, that would mean that the mm-wave is being absorbed differently in the soft tissue of the eye.

In my professional opinion, just close your eyes. If you fly once a year, it probably isn't a big deal. If you fly all the time, I would close my eyes.

Is this really a good idea? Yes, JavaScript is popular but if you're running on a microcontroller and already short of resources, is it really worth it to spend a lot of your cycles interpreting JavaScript?

A lot of microcontroller code has some real time requirements. Even some of the simplest Arduino code out there. Even in beginner projects, it is rather common to do something like software debouncing for pushbuttons or multiplexing for led matrices, both of which require millisecond resolution timing precision. A garbage collector pause in the middle of it would ruin everything. And a noob wouldn't understand why.

Also, isn't JavaScript already running on the new ARM Cortex M3 -based Arduino board?

To say something positive, I think the Google Blockly visual programming language is a very good idea for something like this, especially if targeted at noobs and/or kids. If you're unfamiliar with it, the picture with the puzzle pieces tells it all. There are puzzle pieces of different shapes for different syntactic structures (you can see expression and statement pieces), and the colors of the pieces are different types (in the picture, green is a boolean, I think).

3 Month Immersive Beginners iOS Course Online for $100

- Almost anyone that would be able to actually use a credit card online has a credit card

I think the name "Soylent" is brilliant. It's memorable precisely because of its association with Soylent Green. Nobody is actually going to make the naive mistake of believing it's made of people.
Agreed. I think having more than two parties to choose from would resonate with many Americans.

Currently we have only to choose between a douche and a turd. It would be nice to at least get different shades of douche and turd to pick, and who knows, we may get to pick something that isn't horrible.
The problem with that is that password derivation is entirely reasonable and encouraged. It's what PBKDF2 does (the "KD" stands for "Key Derivation"). Securing your passphrase with a few thousand rounds of bcrypt and salting with the domain is a great way to strengthen it, since you don't have to trust any shitty MD5 password storage mechanism the site has, the attacker has to brute-force bcrypt to be able to get your master passphrase.
I'm from Canada, and there are attack ads everywhere. I can't stand them. Instead of using your money, your time and your effort trying to destroy another candidate, tell me why you're better. I think it's by and large one of the major reasons I have little faith or interest in the politics of my country.

Can confirm. Just like with many other types of research. It's part of our culture to exaggerate and be deceptive. It is how our politics, our government, our culture, our business, and how our economy as a whole function. Before I get a bunch of "everyone does it", the reality is that those who we should aspire to compare ourselves to are quite remarkably different regarding that characteristic. But go right ahead, compare America to all the dysfunctional, corrupt, fraying societies of the world. I choose to look up, rather than down.

My uncle was born with a digestive tract defect that was not detected until he was of middle age. (The only sign that he had any health problem at all was that he was of only average height, in a family in which all his five brothers were tall.) He was on total parenteral nutrition

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/meds/a601166.htm...

for something like twenty years before dying last week at the age of ninety-one. It's basic medical background knowledge that keeps me from being impressed by the Soylent shot in the dark, and it is reflecting that human nutrition is both

a) mostly a hard problem, and

b) mostly a SOLVED problem

that keeps me from making gee-whiz comments about the Soylent project here on HN. The great thing about a free-enterprise economy with minimal regulation is that if you like this kind of thing, you can spend your hard-earned money to buy Soylent. If your eating behavior includes experiential or social outcomes better met by eating a variety of foods you cook and chew, you can join me in eating a little of this and a little of that over the course of a year. The Soylent company is YC-invested, as I recall, so press releases from the company will continue to be posted here, but meanwhile I will pursue a variety of micronutrients and a variety of pleasant experiences by eating a varied diet with my family and friends.
> Unfortunate that they used a name ending in 'uino' since this is in no way an Arduino and not compatible with Arduino in terms of code or pin out.

I agree with you about the name.

This pinout, however, is very different from the Arduino because this thing has a lot more pins than the Arduino has. And the pinout of the normal Arduino is really annoying, because there's a non-standard half-pin width gap between two of the headers on the Arduino.

But prefabricated Arduino shields are really popular and supporting them would be a really good idea.

Functional Programming in Python, Part 1
They're a startup. I guarantee you there's probably no more than 10 guys there. I've worked at startups and here's the deal- Support is very uneven and capital- (and time-) intensive, when you're new. You haven't worked out all the workflows yet and you're too busy building out product to know when to change gears to handle a support backlog. Eventually it gets sorted out, but the beginnings are always rocky. Don't judge a brand new service based on its support record please... I promise you that not a single person who ever worked at a startup thought "man, fuck those complaining customers... we need to build our vision!"
