I would love to know how they built that burrito. There is no such thing as a "Chipotle Burrito", because of the way Chipotle has structured their ordering system. There are literally thousands of possible combinations. Many of the popular combinations do not have nearly that much sodium. Chipotle provides a really great nutrition calculator:

https://www.chipotle.com/en-us/menu/nutrition_calculator/nut...

Tips to keep your Chipotle sodium intake low:

* Fewer ingredients means less sodium; pick your components strategically for flavor, not quantity!

* At 690 mg of sodium, enemy #1 is that flour tortilla; go with a bowl or salad instead.

Note that the rest of these values are for the burrito bowl, not the burrito (some differ between the two).

* Stick to the chicken or steak, which have more than 200 mg less sodium than any other meat on the line.

* The brown rice (165 mg) has less than half the sodium of the white rice.

* Surprisingly, the fresh tomato salsa is loaded with sodium at 500 mg; you're better off with less of the spicier green tomatillo salsa.

* Sorry hot fans, the hot red-tomatillo salsa has the same amount of sodium as the fresh tomato :(

* Another one that surprises people is the guacamole (410 mg), but only if you haven't looked at most guacamole recipes.

I recommend going to the Chipotle nutrition calculator and adding everything to a bowl, then look over the list. I found that by cutting out one or two ingredients, we (I always share a bowl with my wife) dramatically reduce our sodium intake.

A bowl with chicken, brown rice, fajita veg, medium (green) salsa, cheese, and lettuce has 1085 mg of sodium and 525 calories. If you split that, you're looking at 543 mg of sodium and 263 calories, which is more than reasonable for a fast food meal. The reality is that the people on the line at Chipotle almost always over-serve the portions, so you end up with at least 30% more than that (at least in my experience). You're still close to a 400 calorie meal, and not doing terrible on the sodium.

The material Barrett Brown linked to was millions of lines long. Only a handful had credit card numbers.

Its not like he was out there trying to sell credit card numbers. He was trying do disseminate information for the public good and some illegal information was swept up. Prosecutoral discretion, indeed.

The guy was steamrolled. They found a scapegoat for a problem they were embarassed they couldn't do much about (Anonymous). Luckily he was engaged in questionable personal activities like drug use so they knew they had an easy road to discredit his work and drag him through the mud. Then they found a reason to provoke and prosecute and did it.
Lego had a lego magazine.

They then developed a lego girls magazine.

Girls were transferred over to the girls magazine automatically.

The girls magazine has much fewer build instructions for different projects.

Offering two different magazines is fine - here's detailed builds and new kit information; here's a social stuff mag. But automatically offering one to girls and the other to boys is weird.
Do you think this can be the next generation BitTorrent technology?

It's not. And not everything should be architected as a SPA, but more likely multiple page SPAs. Your users probably don't go to every module of a large app with the same frequency...

> There will be millions of crypto-coins in the future

This doesn't make sense. If everyone had their own altcoin, even if they all used Scrypt, nobody would be secure because a 50% attack on your personal blockchain would be trivial. Bitcoins security relies solely on it being one of few significant coins of its kind.

In any case, Bitcoin is huge because its decentralised and nobody has to make decisions. If everyone had to decide what chains to trust then you may as well switch to a superior cryptographic protocol that allows you to mint your own coin without a blockchain. These exist, there's just no incentive for them inside the traditional banking system (too anonymous), or indeed on the inter-personal micro scale (too inconvenient).

Coloured coins make sense, but that's not really the same thing.
Oh, I didn't expected to see a patch release posted here. As I wrote in the announce this patch release is a bit special as it adds a few new features so at least there is something to explore. Btw ask me anything about this release if something is not clear, I'll try to reply at my best.
Nope, it is because a while ago lazy fat farmers dumped diversity in their wheat grain seeds and crops, and opted for the highest yielding fastest growing most resilient species. And they all use it now. Nevermind is has too much gluten or tastes like shit, or that your entire industry is now reliant on a single species. Profits and less work come first. Fat lazy farmers.

You left out a lot of context for that quote. Here's the full paragraph:

> No wonder I feel guilty as I’m driving my children to see “The Lego Movie.” I should be taking them on a long hike or handing out aprons and baking cookies. But we aren’t doing those things; instead we spend our weekends hunched over expensive plastic bricks, and now we’re going to watch them on the big screen. I have filled my daughters’ empty minds with a blind devotion to an indifferent commercial empire.

The issue isn't just the ads, or just the expensive bricks, it's how the two come together to form a feedback loop. The kids enjoy playing with legos, so they want to see the movie. They see the movie, which makes them want to buy more bricks. Lego Movie 2 comes out and the process repeats. The main thing the author seems to dislike is manipulation.
Wow, I'm generally sympathetic to the need for ads on content sites, but that site simultaneously threw up a "play this video to see the story" AND a page-wide Captain Morgan animated add that had to be closed before being able to play the video.

To save everyone the trouble, the story linked to by the parent comment is dated April 2013 and links to the Huffington Post, ostensibly to criticize it:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/25/roundup-herbicide-h...

And the original source is this paper:
http://www.mdpi.com/1099-4300/15/4/1416

The PP-link's main point seems to be this: "While the paper is dense with biological nomenclature and unfamiliar terms, as well as 286 references, the important thing to realize is that the authors didn’t conduct any research at all. It is a review of recent literature with long convoluted arguments leading up to their points. And this is easy to spot, because almost every other paragraph is full of scientific “weasel words” and naïve references to discredited research."

And the blog's concluding line is: "This paper is not just baloney, it is a whole delicatessen!"

There's some specific criticisms and innuendo, not sure if it's worth the ads to read, because if the paper was really "bogus", there should be a better update and criticism of it by now.
I disagree with the web development comment. What if there was a web interface on top of Therac-25 that had an error in it?
Another Year, Another Set of Bizarre Cuts to NASA's Budget
In the world of toys Lego is considerably less evil than many other companies.

Since HN is interested in companies and product development they might be interested in the book "The Real Toy Story". It's a cut throat industry.

I'm a bit sad about the rise of themed tie in kits. I'm a bit worried about the development of "girls kits" and "boys kits" - I don't mind them having different kits but they are undeniably gendering the kits rather than just offering choice.

It's great to see Lego doing well after a really rough time.
I'm UKian and I'm astonished. Having worked in the UK Civil Service, sounds to me the person making this decision didn't know what it meant and that it was an actual security issue. Probably they thought it was sort of idly interesting, like speculating how many office computers are still beige. Not that you were listing sites with trusted nhs.uk domains that appear to be easy to hack.

We didn't actually find the documentation and examples that bad. I had a team of heavy front-end (html/css/Jquery) developers get up to speed in knockout fairly easily. It would have been a nightmare explaining to them how to make Angular directives and some of the more complex services stuff.

BTW, I think Knockout is just prescriptive enough to get a pretty tight maintainable codebase, but without causing another layer of wrapping/complexity when you want to use existing JQuery components.
This is the exact same thought I had when reading the story.

Not only would it be cheaper, but you could follow each vehicle through the lot and figure out the traffic flow patterns better.

Plus, to tie in with this other front-page story ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7346629 ), you could track the plates of the cars, and tie that in with retail cellular tracking ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5154089 ). Facial recognition still needs a couple of years. Over time, you could tie the cellular phone, vehicle, and electronic payment (debit or credit card) to an individual.

Continual tracking.

And all brought to you by technology. In the words of Pogo: "We have met the enemy...and he is us."
In the US, certified organic means without the use of synthetic pesticides including Round Up.

That said, the USDA has only had these rules since 2000 so unless you lived in California which had an older organic program or access to a farm, you probably haven't been eating organic all your life.
I've been playing Puzzle and Dragons for about 7 months, and have probably spent the equivalent of a $15/mo subscription over that period of time. The mechanics to make you pay absolutely feel contrived and scummy; the game strongly limits how much you can play in a given time period (stamina), and playing more than that requires the equivalent of $1. Dungeons also have strange difficulty levels, where the boss is significantly more challenging than the levels leading to it, so after you've invested the time to get there, you have the choice of "paying" $1 each time you are about to lose, or leaving the dungeon and potentially having to "pay" $1 to play more -- especially since the harder dungeons eat up a larger portion of your stamina. The worst, though, is that obtaining better monsters requires a slot-machine style gamble, and each try costs around $5. There's such a high chance of getting a mediocre monster instead, that there's actually a term called "Gung-trolled."

That said, the game is very well designed and a lot of fun, and lends itself well to being played during a short commute. There are a subset of players who make a lot of progress without any in-app purchases, but the game constantly makes you question what's worth more: your time, or $1.

Personally, I would be happier with a $5-10/mo subscription fee, but instead I'm left with a twinge of guilt every time I make an in-app purchase.
> I would like to see every elementary school have a math specialist, who knows advanced math, to help students with their overall understanding when they get off track.

Maybe you were downvoted because posting "Why?" with no follow-up is dumb, adds nothing meaningful to the discussion, and wastes peoples' time.
This article reminded me of how much things have changed since I was a child. I had a yellow Lego castle. There were no movie tie-ins. It was the archetypal medieval castle, enough to thrill the imagination. Then I thought of another childhood thrill: tinkering around on an Apple II+. In this case the transformation is even more obvious. What used to be a company that produced hobbyist equipment that booted into a BASIC programming language REPL now has deep ties to the entertainment industry and produces locked-down consumer devices.
Indeed. We toyed with Facebook login, but we really wanted the current position information, without having to do a domain (work email) verification.
So a form of arbitrage against Bitcoin may be to create your own cryptocurrency, mint a few million of them for yourself, hype it on HN, then cash out and profit? Sounds like a classic pump-and-dump junk bond scam, to me.
"Organic" can mean different things in different jurisdictions and different certification regimes. When I worked at a Whole Foods predecessor years ago I understood it to mean that produce was raised without pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. This entailed being free from genetic modification (beyond breeding and cross-breeding), too. I would guess that the "and pesticide-free" bit is for marketing purposes, or the term "organic" was being inappropriately used.

And as applied to non-produce foods the term can mean something else entirely.
It doesn't sound like it would make sense to do this given that stores generally have counters on the readers that detect stolen tagged items on exit. Surely it would be easier to use this data to figure out when the busy periods fall?
I would suggest starting a yoga practice which would encompass meditation as one of the practices. Asana, the physical practice of yoga, is a great way to prepare the body and mind for a meditation or sitting. There's a wide range of meditation practices as well, it's a term similar to fitness - whereby there are many forms of fitness available, taught and practiced in different ways for different purposes.
RequireJS and AMDClean Is A Badass Combo
Almost every time based graph goes up and to the right. Big whoop. Maybe the internet causes gluten intolerance? Or maybe Roundup caused the rise of social networking?
Badass. Thanks for sharing
Organic, in the US, is regulated by the USDA and includes no genetically modified seeds and no use of chemical pesticides. If something has the green label it was tested and certified. Sometimes food manufacturers call out things like pesticide-free because there is confusion among consumers.

I think the process of peer review often causes papers to be optimized for being hard to critique rather than easy to understand. I have myself participated in writing papers where we decided to leave out some non-crucial but very useful detail just because it opens up too many questions and opportunities for critique.
Good science should be good science independent of the authors interests, no? (Not saying this paper is good science, but I dislike the attitude of dismissing based on who the authors are).
>How would it help me if a study existed that suggested that 98% of people who practice meditation are happier if I'd be in the 2%?

I am way more likely to be in the 98% so I will put more effort into it and try it for real in this case.

>try it for yourself and see if _you_ get benefits from it.

A bunch of meditation practices suggest that you get benefits only after doing it for a while. I've personally tried some stuff and never got enough benefit to make up for the 30-60 mins of lost time but if there was more evidence for the benefits I'd try harder.
I imagine it depends a lot on the field. I'm in computer science, and while a few academic research programs need lots of programmers, mostly there aren't a lot of things that a relatively untrained tech can do. We need PhD students and postdocs to actively do novel research, publish papers, and chase grants.

It's also really unlikely that we'd find anywhere near enough techs to make up the difference anyway. In CS, your options as a bright student are to go into research or go make a fortune for Facebook. We can compete with industry only because we're offering the promise of a career in research. If we had to staff the labs with people who had no desire to join academia, the costs would go up substantially.
We're using it in a responsive website that renders on tablets...not quite mobile, and not delivered via a packaged web-view app. It performs fine for 99% t of our use cases on more modern tablets. Most JavaScript apps suck on < iPad 2 vintage tablets anyway. I wouldn't go rendering a 1000 templates client-side with it. (We have one list that renders a complex template 100x) and it takes about 3500 ms for the knockout rendering of it. This template has maybe 20 conditionals in it or so.

What am I missing here? Aren't all the graphs in that paper just a correlation/causation joke waiting to be made? I could probably fit "number of mobile phones sold" to the same curve and have "proof" that mobile phones are causing gluten intolerance.

The rest of the paper is way above my head, but certainly seems speculative and doesn't appear to have any actual evidence or study behind it. Given the motivated reasoning that happens often regarding topics such as these... I'm suspicious.
Flipboard Acquires Zite from CNN
So the article focuses on out of date wordpress installations, I really think the NHS has wider security implications given the recent admission of uploading their ENTIRE patient database onto googles servers for ease of deriving statistics ... (http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/mar/03/nhs-england-p...)

Regarding hesitation of posting the information in the blog post; the author appears to have losely followed responsible disclosure methods attempting remediation with the NHS directly before publishing the findings.

NHS, HMRC etc the information security of these organizations is lax at best, and down right horrifying, without full disclosure forcing their hand I don't see any change.

This is why full disclosure / responsible disclosure formed in the first place.

Maybe the value comes from the network of miners and users of the altcoin.

If a new cryptocurrency becomes popular and steals miners and users from an old cryptocurrency, the value of the new coin will increase at the expense of the old coin.

But if the new cryptocurrency brings in new miners and users, like Dogecoin has, then the value of both old and new can grow.
For tablet-oriented apps and anything that's aimed at green-field deployent, it's an easy decision to go 4.x and back-port as time permits, but for a certain class of mass-market, non-game apps you want to access every stingy, retrograde user out there from a unified code base.

That may have gotten easier with the new ActionBar in the Support Library. Using lame ActionBar substitutes used to make using Support Library back-compatibility a PITA.
