I'm curious--have you tried replacing some of your meals with Ensure?

Edit: I'm not suggesting that Ensure and soylent are identical, but there is a lot of overlap, and in this case it appears to satisfy a lot of the requirements in the parent comment.
From my understanding of the source I posted they're removing OCSP support as well: "There are two protocols/formats involved: OCSP and CRL, although the differences aren't relevant here."

Adobe's Flash Player used OpenSSL on Linux for a long time, but eventually switched to NSS because the OpenSSL project would repeatedly break their library ABI without changing version numbers. The OpenSSL developers said that a stable ABI was a non-goal of theirs. (Disclosure: I was an engineer on Adobe's Flash Player team.)
Thanks for the resources. This is the first time I've heard of this product. Very interesting.

I'm doing a nutritional experiment for the month, avoiding meat, bread, alcohol, sweeteners, and potatoes. It would be interesting to do the Soylent for a month experiment, perhaps with additional flavorings.
It is true that medical meal replacement things do exist, as well as mass market shakes like Ensure. If the people behind those products go ahead and use their nutritional expertise to make something that is more Soylent-like, I would welcome it and gladly prefer that to what these Soylent guys make. However, here are a few ways in which the current products are not Soylent-like:

* The medical things like Jevity are developed for people who are very sick, rather than people with normal health.

* The medical things are sold to hospitals; it is not easy to find them or buy them as an individual. (I know it is possible though.)

* It is not clear that the medical stuff is cheaper than solid food. Part of the idea of Soylent is that it is cheaper than food. I'm not sure if this has actually come to pass, though.

* The nutrition drinks on the market, such as Ensure, taste disgusting and are full of sugar. (I once had to drink several cans of the stuff every day for a year.) Soylent is designed to have minimal taste: the idea is that you can add your own flavoring. To me, this is a huge deal, and it also seems to indicate a difference in underlying philosophy.
Railsdiff.org just shows you what's changed in the generated app files, not the actual libraries.
Why is that a relevant question now? How would doing this be more helpful without the results of the algorithm you're attempting to cut corners to approximate?
I've been extremely skeptical of Soylent but I do think I'm going to try it after a few months of guinea pigs have gone before me. I'm curious about using it as a way of breaking a habit of eating shitty foods. The idea of going cold turkey off "food" completely for awhile and seeing it that will help cause a break in my eating habits is pretty compelling.

Actually, I've been wondering lately, just how common are router compromises? I ask because I have a Synology unit that was infected with some pretty insidious malware just by being out on the open internet and having a slightly out-of-date OS version. Since it's now easily possible to scan the entire IPv4 address space, it makes me wonder if having out-of-date firmware would basically guarantee a hacked router these days.
In fact, an attacker doesn't even need to steal the private key.. Heartbeats can be sent before certificate authentication takes place.
"Soylent is betting on the fact that consumers want to separate the nourishment of food from the ritual of eating. That's a bit like saying, 'We can offer you the ability to reproduce without the inconvenience of having sex.'"

This is the best criticism of soylent; what they're doing just goes against the grain of how peoples' minds are wired.

Maybe it'll wind up gaining traction as a fad instead, like the meal replacement product on House of Lies[1] this past season[2].

[2] When I saw that episode, I wondered if it was meant as a deliberate spoof of soylent.
There is hype because there is demand - demand that clearly isn't being fulfilled by other products since most people do not know about them.

If anything, Soylent will serve to actually show that there is demand and push other products to be more readily available to the public. If that doesn't happen, well it's not really relevant in the first place.

It's kinda like the earlier article on flying car prototypes being there but not affordable. They're not affordable because there's no demand, and there's no demand because they're not affordable. Someone needs to break the cycle, and when Tesla will break it, someone will not understand why the Tesla is suddenly so popular for something that has existed for years.

I think your use case is exactly what makes Soylent promising.

The media hype about Soylent as a total meal replacement that gives you superpowers or something seems misguided. Much more compelling to me is the idea of something that is very easy and inoffensive to eat when I don't have time to make or buy food.
If all else fails, they can sell it to prisons as disciplinary rations. I honestly can't fathom who would want such a bad product--aside from people who have an active disdain towards eating.

Also, potatoes are already nutritionally complete (minus B12 iirc), probably cheaper than this, and certainly better tasting.
Don't you mean from 0-$200,000? (It's even possible to make money from going to college, oddly enough. A college acquaintance of mine posted how she got more scholarships than school cost.)
I wish I had your kind of attitude a year ago - me and a former cofounder gave up on a promising enterprise startup idea within a few months because we were generating way less money than we had expected. If you're bringing in money you're definitely doing something right, and you're doing better than 50% of enterprise startups out there. I'm glad you're sticking with it because it is indeed a very long and drawn-out process, but can be quite rewarding in the end.
What's the control interface for the mobile apps? Is it bluetooth, embedded web server or what? If you make your API open I could probably whip up a web app for it so even schmucks like me without a smartphone could use the full feature set.
I feel exactly the same way. I always end up cursing Atlassian's software (specifically Jira and Confluence), but when I look for an alternative (primarily for Jira), I can't ever find anything that does it quite as well or attractively as Jira. Even with its problems, it still does what I want, and does it well. I would, however, love to see something try to compete with it. There are a lot of decent alternatives, but it would be cool to see a bit more competition.
Interesting idea, wish it was in the city as well.
> Soylent is betting on the fact that consumers want to separate the nourishment of food from the ritual of eating.

They aren't necessarily looking to replace the ritual of eating for the average consumer, and there are applications outside of that market that Soylent could be extremely beneficial for. For example they have cited it being a useful replacement for people who can't eat certain types of foods, or who can't eat solid foods.

Today there are alternatives. Once upon a time those alternatives were either not written, not stable, or not free. Now it is just a matter of convincing an enormous number of developers to carefully rewrite large parts of their systems to use a different library instead of new features (or ironically, security fixes).
IMO, Camel pretty much rocks. The Camel In Action book is pretty good too. I'm also a fan of ActiveMQ, although I may have a slight preference for HornetQ as far as Java based JMS providers go.

CXF is also good stuff.

I don't know about courses, but given the way I learn, here's what I'd do (and this isn't far from what I did when I first wanted to learn Camel) - figure out some kind of project you can build, that could use Camel, and just start building it.

If you're already building apps using Spring/Grails/etc. then build yourself a simple little CRUD app of some sort... used a totally made up domain if you want (a buddy of mine was making a "Teletubby Tracker" app) and then start thinking about how you might decompose it into a more modular form ("SOA-ify" if you will) and then break the back-end out into services, expose then using CXF, and have your front-end put messages on a Queue, route with Camel, and then update the backend as appropriate. It's fine if it's made up, your goal is to learn, not to build The Next Big Thing, right?

Another piece you might add to the stack at some point is a BPM engine like Activiti.

This approach might or might not be for you (learning styles differ and all that), but "build something" has always worked best for me.

Also, and hopefully without being too self-promotional - if you want to hack on some of this stuff in the setting of a cool open source project, I have some stuff I'm working with that uses Grails, Camel, JMS, (not so much CXF though, at least not at the moment) and Activiti. If you would like to poke at our code and maybe get involved, shoot me an email and I'll try to help out.
The trope is universal and deeply embedded in American society. It is not surprising that someone apparently from the UK would not realize this. It is surprising that a non-American is so eager to force their own cultural context onto an American issue. Isn't that a very American thing to do?

I have some experience with NSS, and for simple things it is not terrible despite being a bit low level. With about an afternoon of work I was able to write a very simple TLS server using NSS -- in Lisp, using SBCL's FFI.
The ones intended for people who cannot eat properly due to ill health are trialled on healthy subjects as well.

There are also more specialist products to suit certain medical conditions e.g. organ failure, but that's not relevant to Soylent-type feeds.
The problem is if you shard it out you'll run into issues keeping each shard synchronized to within <100ms precision.
> At that point, the incentives strongly favor the attackers, who will work quickly to join the in-crowd and exploit the window of time where they know how to exploit the flaw, and site operators don't know enough about it to take it seriously.

Has this sort of behaviour been observed for other vulnerabilities in the wild that can be cited? I would think that the patch is small enough that a co-ordinated deployment to all the distros could have been managed so that they had packages ready before attackers could exploit the vulnerability. Not sure that the correct solution is to announce it with a corporate blog post and a vanity web site instead.

I'm with you there. I've been eating chicken breasts, lean pork, tilapia/salmon, broccoli, yams and nuts for the past several years and I would love to save time on making that crap once or twice a week. Too bad I also don't trust anything out of a box, since I don't believe we know yet what's good or bad for us.
This.

It's interesting to me when something like this comes along and people herald it as something completely ground breaking when there's already a myriad of products do this and probably taste infinitely better.

Not saying its a bad idea, but this space is already incredibly crowded. what's the selling point that Soylent has over its competitors?

Ever since bulking up, I eat ridiculously healthy. The amount of time and money that it takes to do this is insane. I've been waiting for this moment for a very long time. The fact that (as mentioned in comments) the space needed for this versus a full kitchen/pantry/appliances etc is nothing. Game on.
Uber does a great job of marketing by using its product in creative ways (e.g. valentine's day quartet and send a cat). I can't think of another company that has done as good a job at tying its core product in with random offerings (see also Uber to order skywriting) in order to maintain mind share.

I probably go for the Uber app more than Lyft just because I successfully summoned the valentine's day quartet last year.
The media hype about Soylent as a total meal replacement that gives you superpowers or something seems misguided.

Yes but it was media hype triggered by the guy who came up with it in the first place. He made the claims, not the media.

Misleading title.
Working in embedded, I am used to assuming most of those working with just local resources.

> 1.The network is reliable.

I don't assume my file system is reliable. Flash fails.

> 2.Latency is zero.

Latency is non-0 even on local access! My team's requirements is that anything that may take more than ~1ms is done async. This includes memcopy!

> 3.Bandwidth is infinite.

Never has been, even locally.

> 4.The network is secure.

Local busses are not secure either.

> 5.Topology doesn't change.

I'll give'em that, although this is hopefully less of a problem now days, ignoring NATs...

> 6.There is one administrator.

Again, the industry has hopefully evolved to understand finer grained access controls.

> 7.Transport cost is zero.

Nope, never has been even locally. You doing something consumes resources from someone else.

> 8.The network is homogeneous.

Half the fun is in things being heterogeneous! Put work where it is best done at.

I think we can agree that there is a happy medium between the slow and risky process of notifying every single organization, and only one SSL terminator "in the know".

The logistics of disclosure for something as ground breaking as this are probably very difficult.

I suppose the details are still sketchy at this point, but I have no idea how CloudFlare received a week's notice, and no one more important[1] knew of it until it was publicized. CloudFlare being the special group makes me suspicious of how it all went down.

[1] I'm not picking on CloudFlare, they have a huge footprint on the internet.

Actually, this post reinforced my belief that we should dump SSL and replace it with something better and safer. It's just not worth the trouble at this point. The flexibility will arrive over the coming years, if there's an alternative with a lot more enthusiasm and resources put into it.

Ask HN: Tasks always takes me longer than estimated. How to deal with this?
Getting the tasks done always takes me more time than the estimated by management. Main reasons: lack of knowledge in the project and its technology(I work with very different technologies), configuration stuff, testing, slow building... I think this is normal, there is no way I can reduce this time unless I was the one who created the application. Most of the times I am ok with this ,but sometimes I feel like a dummy, like I am expected to get tasks done on time no matter what (this is my feeling , nobody has ever told me anything about this). Does this happen to you? How do you deal with this feeling?
Why are you the way you are, San Francisco.
I agree with you.

That said, the creator claims that he "appreciates" food more, while on soylent. Rather than paraphrase, here's the relevant quote:

Soylent has changed my relationship with food. Before I probably craved pizza and cheeseburgers because that was the easiest way to provide my 6'3" frame with the calories it needed. Now that my nutritional needs are always met I am able to appreciate food more for its flavor, and started really enjoying sushi. Sushi is especially interesting because there is such range and intensity of flavors, and it is so difficult, yet rewarding to make well. This makes it pricey, but I spend so little on food I can enjoy nice sushi once or twice per week. Fast food restaurants look laughably obsolete to me, like a Blockbuster.

Whether this holds true for the majority of people, time will tell. I'd be interested in trying, at least.
But... this isn't Soylent Green. And if you recall, the other variants of Soylent products from the book/movie were NOT people. So... let's not focus on that one and focus on this one.
They're worthless because clearly no one is using them. They may theoretically be useful, but it doesn't matter if they're never put into practice.
IANAL, but having spent time at a big company, I can tell you the issue here is clarity of IP ownership.

Of course employees should be able to do what they want on their own time, but employers usually feel entitled to the fruits of things done on company time, machines, IDE's, and in general related to company work.

In this context ambiguity -- where an employee commits something of potentially ambiguous ownership to an open-source project -- is bad. Even very well-meaning companies have to manage to this issue.

I'd love to see any examples of written policies on this that manage to strike a good balance and encourage open-source contributions by employees.

Looking at this source code brings back memories. Star Trek was ported everywhere there was a BASIC.

When I was 16, in 1981, our school got it's first computer, a Commodore Pet. 4K of RAM! Basic! Hi-tech graphics on the keys!

We only had one, it was in the library, and you had to 1) sign up for it, and 2) get a pass to leave study hall to come to the library.

My math teacher was an easy touch, so I scored a pass every day to go to the library. Unfortunately, other students also wanted to use the computer, and there was quite a bit of hijinks involved with actually making it happen (Hint: never sign up in pencil).

I learned how to code going through the Star Trek game and figuring out how it worked.

As a side note, my nemesis at the time was Roland. So I spent the formative years of my programming life creating a game called "Kill Roland" in Pet Basic. It was mostly Space Invaders, with a little bit of Star Trek thrown in. Little Rolands ("R"s) would come down from the top of the screen, you would use the arrow keys to move your guy around at the bottom, and the space bar launched missiles. There were smart missiles, that you could control after firing, heat seekers, and so on. Of course, the Rolands just kept coming, more and more of them (at times splitting in 2)

All the other kids at the library loved that game. Roland, not so much.

Fun times. I'd love to play Star Trek in BASIC again. (Zork would be a close second)
