This report talks about new introductions to the American diet. However, though soy may be relatively new to the US, my understanding is that Soy and soy-based products like Tofu have been popular in countries like China and Japan for many centuries.

Has any research been done to establish whether soy has been harmful in countries where they've been eating it for generations ?

I'd also be curious to know whether the alleged "harmful" effect observed in soy-based products (like soymilk etc.) has also been observed in plain soybeans.
I think it's saying that they haven't been used on all of the spokes on a wheel.

They were used on the mines.

I'm allergic to milk and have been taking soy protein, soy milk, etc. for years with no problems. My evidence is anecdotal but silverhydra's is not.

If anyone thinks there is a problem with soy, go read examine.

It's totally obnoxious now and destroys usability. I was on a slow internet for a while and youtube mercilessly shoved ads on it. It was impossible to use. I found Youtube center and it smoothed the experience, allows me to disable ads and download video easily.

I also got it on the faster connection. It really makes life better. I'm willing to pay a few bucks to never see ads. Until that's an option youtube and deserving content creators will lose a few bucks.

Oh well. Just won't tolerate the current volume of ads.
The ads are mainly to spur content creation by the uploaders, not to foot google's bill.
Interesting, but maybe too much witch-hunting? I mean, the title influence could've had as much impact as the time of posting.

Your first post did not hit HN's RSS feed (IIRC, at least 3 votes are needed for the vanilla feed), otherwise I would've upvoted it. This one did.
One simple way to look at it is to ship things. Get your work in front of eyeballs. You can endlessly debate the value or the intelligence of your work when it's behind closed doors. Getting this work in front of other people simplifies this a bit I think.

Writing which never sees the light of day becomes far more valuable the instant it is accessible to others. The same is true for anything you create. Simply creating a blog post produces value when others read it. The key here is creating and shipping. Otherwise it just rots unseen and it might as well be some virtual thing in your head driving you crazy.

Often just doing something helps a lot. I have a friend who has horrible at photography eventually become an awesome professional photographer. I watched his progression on Flikr over the years. He started out taking a crazy number of the worst pictures I have seen. He took pictures of anything and everything and posted them all. As time went on, he posted fewer pictures but with increasingly better quality. Today, I find his pictures to be stunningly beautiful.

I have seen the same with writers and of things I do every day as well.

Just create stuff. Get it out there and don't dwell too much on how good it is. Let other people do that for you while you continue building. It's a release. You feel better getting it out there. You know you have done something because your creation is at a point where people are consuming it. If you don't think it's valuable enough, then build something else. Just keep going. Don't hold it in your head or you will go crazy.
Contractors don't spec roadway lighting, engineers do. The engineers provide guidelines that are (or should be) easy for the contractors to follow. Likewise, the DOT asking for bids could require certain types of lighting.

It's not always a quick process, but we do get innovations with some regularity.
Why even drink soy "milk" why not water or some other liquid, or other animal milk you may not be allergic to?

It seems to me people are compelled to have a milk substitute whether due to allergy or ethical reasons as if we need to have something called milk in our fridges.

It reminds me of the tofurky a soy shaped turkey supposedly tastes like turkey, it would be like a person who eats a lot of meat making a carrot out of meat colouring it orange and making it taste like a carrot, why even bother.
Where's this 5-10 minute wait for groceries or restaurants coming from? If you're talking about waiting for your transaction to be included in the next block, it could even take longer than that by chance. Those restaurant merchants should just accept on the incoming notice which is very quick. There are precautions a merchant can take to make a race attack double-spend harder, but most people are honest and the threat is similar to a person dining and dashing. For large transactions, sure, wait at least 1 confirm and preferably 6 or more, but for a $20 or less meal? If you want to bust them you have the timestamp of the bad transaction, and you can look at your security camera logs.

It's a smart move by someone who understand IP and book markets (at the time)

Get luck with one book.

Milk it.

Leave other books to be published 50yrs after death.

That covers both the IP law (50yrs from author death for his previously, milked novel) and the book market desire for posthumous works.

Medicare is largely delivered through private for-profit Medicare Advantage plans that are publicly subsidized. People should stop saying "Medicare for all" when they are trying to advocate for exclusive public single-payer without private for-profit insurers between the public funding and the individual insured, since Medicare hasn't worked that way for decades.

I'm former Navy (Electronics Technician - Radio/Radar), but was in Army JROTC in High School.

First step is to take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). There is no obligation to take that test (despite the pressure from the Navy or Air Force recruiter that you need to "lock up" your spot right away). Your score on this test will essentially open or shut doors to the variety of jobs/ratings you can ask for.

Generally, if you score high enough, you can guarantee a slot in a school of your choice, post-boot camp graduation. Like anything, if you fail in boot camp (generally sent home) or fail in the the "A-school" -- you can be put into any classification as the military sees fit.

Ignore all "promises" from recruiters that are not explicitly made in writing. Verbal assurances are meaningless -- no matter how sincere the recruiter appears.

You will be best served, if you feel the military is not going to be a career, to select jobs/classifications that have immediate transferability to civilian applications.

Once in, take advantage of all the training schools or other educational outlets that the military offers (and the GI Bill when you exit).

P.S., Some boot camp tips (applies to Air Force probably)

1. Consider when your boot camp located and join in "good weather" months. Great Lakes is hot & humid in July/Aug and bitter cold in Dec-Feb.

2. Show up being able to at least run a mile with little effort and do 20 "real pushups". They'll train you up from there, but those first 2 weeks will be brutal if you can't do either on day 1.

3. It's all about paying attention to (mostly meaningless) details. This is to prepare you to not being lazy and learn your most innocent mistakes can get someone killed. So it appears "stupid" early, but you'll see it's importance later.
Yes. And its our collective fault. Capitalism and democracy are arguably the best collective system for living together that humanity has implemented. On a theoretical level, this is wholly up for debate, but in a practical sense, I believe this to be true. This has directly led to consumerism, the rise of the individual, and specialization. Follow that path, and you need to work. Or at least the typical person does. The dream of many is that work == something they want to do (so much so that it hardly feels like work in the strictest form), but I put forth that inevitably, as a person changes, they find it difficult to step away from their area of expertise (gained from years of specialization) and inevitably, for most, it truly becomes work.

I'm convinced (based on my heavy soy intake as an Asian male with no ill effects) that some people are less prone to what the guy in the article experienced.
Many people do lots of foolish things, but that doesn't justify doing foolish things. Making snap judgements about people based on irrelevant criteria has been a failing point of humanity since well before you and I were born; thankfully, we've come a long way in civil liberties and in making progress on abolishing slavery, women's suffrage, gay rights, etc. The problem there was clearly more widespread than here, but the symptom is the same -- humans aren't very good at being open minded.

Yes, I understand that it's a fault in humanity, that people's decision-making skills are compromised by completely irrelevant factors. I'm sure I'm just as guilty of it as anybody else.

The point, for what it's worth, wasn't to call the parent foolish, but to point out that disregarding a good idea because the messenger isn't your favorite is, plainly put, silly. As individuals, we should be mindful of the needlessly silly things that we do, and try to be better than that.
Because Im a powerlifter. Powerlifters need calories and Soy milk + my protein powder tastes good but my protein powder with water tastes like gasoline (and soy milk has more calories too).

I used to do soy protein + water and it was pretty bad but I could handle it. I recently switched to Beef and Egg protein from Soy protein and it tastes amazing in chocolate soy milk.

When you can't eat cheese, most desserts, pizza, and anything with a questionable production practice ("did my food share a surface with a milk product?"), and much more, you eat things without a lot of taste. I like Soy milk because it tastes good and keeps me sane while getting me my calories.
I really wanted to like Scala, I came to the language looking for a Haskell on the JVM, but then just found it sacrificing too much, mainly for Java compatibility.

The close compatibility with Java does allow an easy transition for Java developers, but it's a transition to writing what it repeatedly deemed unidiomatic Scala by the Scala community. And then I've seen the same community scoff at unenlightened Scala developers that are writing "Java++".

Half of Scala could make a really nice language, but the complexity of the full thing is not something I want to work with again.

Quote of the day:

The key to making programs fast is to make them do practically nothing.
-- Mike Haertel
I had the awful experience of (at the age of 15) having my father decide to be a vegan (due to a mid-life crisis) and replace all protein sources in our house with tofu and tempeh. It was fucking awful, and on top of the constant gas I had (going to high school with bad gas is itself torture) I remember having soreness and tenderness in the breast region. My progress in the weight room (I played football and wrestled) crumbled. It was my coaches who suspected the vegan diet at home. They didn't necessarily pinpoint soy, but essentially came to their own conclusion that I wasn't able to digest the soy protein, explaining my sudden inability to put on muscle.

Eventually, after 2 months, I rebelled and began getting meat wherever and whenever I could. I'm still very resentful of my father's sudden switch to veganism at my expense. I am particularly hateful of the PETA fanatics (it was a pretty woman he dated) who converted him from a hunter and fisherman to a silly fuck who wears turquoise and preaches animal rights. Did I mention his vegan diet of over 18 years has resulted in him having bad heart disease?

I drink coffee with almond milk. I also drink it black, but not all the time. I use warm almond milk with espresso instead of a latte due to the large number of calories in a latte because of the milk. I used to drink two lattes a day.
I have a friend who's son is being raised primarily by his ex-wife. They have a good relationship even divorced, especially where the son is concerned. Recently the boy stayed with his father for a week, during which he took him to the gym to get in shape. He's a little fat and his father wanted to help him work on his self-image. At the gym, the boy would not remove his shirt, and when he finally acquiesced and did his father found out it was because his son had considerable man-tits. Enough that they actually are looking like women's breasts.

The boy's mother had been feeding him soy milk and other soy products as a primary staple of their diet. She eventually caught on what was happening but only after it was too late. He's sworn off of soy. It's going to take considerable effort to undo what has happened to him, his doctor has even discussed the possibility of testosterone treatments to counteract the damage.
Wow, that is an awesome landing page. Kudos.

That doesn't affect the ethics of something. Remember, you are also screwing the other passengers on the plane that can no longer fit their bag in overhead (on full flights). Their bag is now at risk because it will need to be gate-checked.

I've traveled internationally with expensive guitars before this new law was in place. Of course, the law in question doesn't cover travel outside the US.

Here's what I do, wherever I may roam:

1. Have the instrument in a good gig bag with lots of padding, not a hardshell case.

2. Approach boarding with the gig bag hanging from the shoulder furthest away from the attendant checking your boarding pass. Try to arrange things so that you can board early.

3. This one is important: always, always be pleasant and super polite to staff. You do not want to get aggressive or demanding.

4. If asked to gate-check the guitar, don't sweat it. Let them issue you the tag. While you're walking down the jet bridge, "accidentally" drop the tag on the floor nonchalantly. Once you board the plane, if they hassle you about stowing it in overhead, ask politely if you can stow the guitar in the crew closet or in the back of the plane.

5. As a safeguard, take an all-purpose screwdriver and pack it in the gig bag. If you have a sturdy electric (like, say, a Fender Telecaster), you can easily unscrew the neck to allow you to store it in a smaller space. Obviously, I don't like doing this but it may be necessary in a jam.
A shaft passer refers to a wheel that can rotate even if a shaft is held between spokes; the image in the wiki page shows one.

The device used in mines is somewhat similar in that it seems to allow solid objects to pass through each other, but it is not a shaft passer as it is not a wheel with "penetrable" spokes.
Soy contains phytoestrogens. Rats fed soy products had significantly reduced testosterone levels.

This is not a valid response to the comment you are replying to. It's just an appeal to emotion. It doesn't negate the fact that this is the result of a special interests group nor does it negate the fact that the cost is not provided by the musicians that now take up more cabin space.
I wonder if that image is in public domain. Might be nice to add to the page.
This is true, but really if you are running a playlist of music you are using it like a radio - I tend to get an ad per every video which is quite a bit more than other radio solutions, it breaks up the flow and so forth.
> This is why I am always extremely skeptical of any kind of diet extremism.

That's my approach as well. Single ingredient things are hard though. Take meat or eggs. It is one ingredient but depending what that animal ate or drugs they've been injected, it is also hard to know what you are getting. At some point I just give up and stop worrying about it. Some people get way too obsessed about it, someone I know "owns" a fraction of a cow get accessed to unpasteurized milk, that is fine by me but not the level I would go to.
I think this is clever.. what software you use to plot the coordinates?
Yes, work is necessary. Even before money was invented, our ancestors still needed to work for their basic needs. They had to harvest or hunt for food, build their houses and sew their clothing. All of that is work.
I've heard you can go across the street to some bigger stores.

>First of all, a desktop computer will take far, far more abuse than an instrument like a violin or a guitar.

Depends on the components.

>Second, a properly backed up desktop computer is easy to replace if it gets damaged,

Doesn't change the lost time having to restore. There is a reason someone travels with electronic equipment in the first place. Second, it's not if the computer has specialized hardware (again, there is a reason someone would travel with a desktop). Third, a desktop could easily be loaded with $3000 in components. Not exactly simple to replace either.
Yes, various people have posted links to a variety of studies that have been done, and it seems like there is a good deal of individual variation, and that these kinds of effects only happen to people who are particularly prone and replace the vast majority of their protein intake with soy.

Correct. A cold storage scheme might be private keys printed on paper and stored in a safety deposit box, for example. Then, if their network is compromised, they won't lose everything.

Not sure how much exchanges normally keep in their "hot wallets", but I've heard numbers from 10%-30%. If an exchange is hacked and decides to close and go under, they can also use cold storage to send some percentage of user's balances back to them.
Since this is an opinion piece, I'll give mine on the same topic:

We don't need more jobs or a re-imagining of the meaning of life, we need less people. We're pushing into the golden age of mechanization, automation and robotics and instead of being able to celebrate we have to wonder what everyone is going to do with themselves and invent assistant-inspector-inspector jobs. We're continuing to over fish, over build, over pollute, under service people at the doctors office, and under deliver on educational goals. We've just got too many people plain and simple if you ask me. Every major solution is aimed at trying to figure out how we're going to live together as a society of 10 Billion, IMHO we should be figuring out how to reduce the numbers and figuring out how to live together as much less.

I don't have a good answer and I don't think anyone on this planet has more of a right to live or have kids than anyone else. And this isn't some immigration rant. This planet has too many people on it.
But if you're going to be holding onto them for years, an extra couple minutes to link your bank account to Coinbase shouldn't be a big deal. The difference in price over the initial two day validation period is going to be negligible over the course of 5 years.
Bubble's are valuation errors in order of magnitude off. I don't think 10's valued at 100s could make a bubble, or at least one that is dangerous. Unless you are talking real estate. The reason is that smaller companies don't float enough paper to be broadly owned/distributed throughout the system. The characteristics of a bubble typicaly indicate feedback loops operating at scale. A portfolio of smaller companies is a less dangerous situation. This is why, if we look at a bubble in "angel" deals, its not the same thing as the 2000 era bubble that was in public equities.

It's certainly possible to build. It's a joke because it should never need to be built. There are so many simpler ways to route power around the wheel rather than through it. If it ever became apparent that you needed such a device, it would indicate some seriously poor choices early in the design process. The joke revolves around the wheel/shaft problem, not the cable/cable problem.
