Ahh, interesting to see the PHP mindset was born with its creation: Why would I use someone else's code when I can write it myself?

Mind you, that's not PHP's fault - seems that a lot of novice programmers take this approach, with PHP being an easy beginner language.
Having built my own pond and faced similar issues dealing with mosquitos I'm highly skeptical that this is as effective as claimed. I've purchased cheap aeration devices that were solar powered in the past and they were not very effective. It took a few months of getting the right combination of fish, plants and a more powerful aerator to solve the problem. Also it seems like deployment of these things in thousands of small standing pools of water which breed mosquitoes wouldn't be feasible.

I wonder when the first real such product will exist. Like any system that synchronizes by waves it can be modified by waves, probably much more than you'd be able to do through chemicals.

So who will make the first heroine headband ? It will probably need outputs as well as inputs though.

That's a good point, but I think you should take the "only soylent" idea with a grain of salt. I think it's more of a mechanical rabbit goal than a real one. Something to focus the product developers and the marketing. In real use, I expect this will replace some portion of what people eat.

This is a platform test to see if they can run small vehicles in space for extended periods of time, operate them safely, and bring them back. Next up will be real space operations once the capability to safely operate at a basic level is proven. This is more likely about putting robotics platforms into space that can stay there and go to work when needed (persistent presence).

It is not a first strike system. That's silly. Any use of such a strike system that has anything to do with nukes will result in massive retaliation from any enemy worth using it on (Russia, China specifically). The US doesn't need small scale first strike options. If you're going to hit China or Russia with nukes, you better destroy everything in the first wave, and that means hundreds of nukes; and it wouldn't just be China or Russia, you have to destroy both, for the same reason that Britain would likely nuke Russia, if Russia preemptively nuked the US.
The irony is fantastic.

> You should NEVER supplement with iron (probably the same for copper)

One should also never take zero iron. While the high doses of iron that one gets when one takes supplementary iron as well as dietary iron are undesirable, in this case, this is the sole source of iron in the diet.

I do agree somewhat with the (very common, they've heard it all before) "missing substance" argument.

Personally I'm excited as to the results of this uncontrolled large scale experiment -- this is a unique opportunity with willing participants which has the opportunity to change our understanding of things the body needs.

The narcissism epidemic
I think Matt and Google are getting an unfair rap on this. Google provided a search engine that worked better than any other so people started using it. People are still using it because it's still better than the others. It's not a monopoly. You can use another search engine if you want to.

The site that emailed to get a link taken down employed an SEO agency to improve their rankings and they created a bunch of spammy links to try to manipulate Google into ranking that site higher than others that probably deserve to rank higher due to their content. If Google did nothing about it we would get some crappy search results.

Also, if you read what Matt Cutts is saying, it implies that if they only had a few unnatural links then they wouldn't have received a webmaster tools warning telling them they had spammy links. They got the warning because their link profile suggested that it was obvious they had been trying to manipulate rankings, not because they had one or two iffy ones.

It's likely that the site then blanket emailed anything and everything that they weren't sure about to get the links taken down. Is it Google's fault that this is how the site decided to deal with the warning? Should Google just make it really easy for them by saying, "OK you disavowed those crappy links, you're off the hook now"? If the consequences are so weak and short-lived, where is the deterrent effect? No, Google doesn't own the internet but they own Google and the site is just trying to provide users with the most relevant results to their searches.

Re, the nofollow aspect. Google didn't "force" sites into using the nofollow attribute by scaring them into thinking that their rankings would drop. Nofollow was in place before there was any notion that who you linked to could harm you. Sites like Wikipedia and others were only too happy to add nofollow to links because it put spammers off from crapifying their sites.

If I were independently wealthy, an adjunct professorship would be pretty appealing (in the right institution). Getting frontline access to very smart people working on potentially world-changing problems while having very few hard responsibilities/commitments (lectures, committees, etc) seems like a nice way to work. Being independently wealthy is a pre-requisite as the institution offers nothing but access.
Most truly efficient anti-depressants would take a couple of weeks to start working, so it is not an option. Your only chance is trying to take control of your mind and shift the focus of your thoughts. Try seeing a therapist, meditation courses or anything like that. Exercise also brings quick results (in a week or so). All of this is related to will-power and it could be trained, so just trying to keep the 'man up' attitude would help tremendously too.
To be fair, when PHP was written, there was pretty much no other code.
But then, you do have a limited library on Rocksmith. And you have to install stuff on your PC or have a console, plus getting the guitar adapter. Jellynote is more ready-to-go. Kind of like a Spotify of sheet music.
I see it differently:

Ads are a net negative for me, my friends, and for society as a whole. I believe they are psychologically punishing.

Services which add value to people's lives, or to society, will be able to survive perfectly well without ads.

If I could, I would rather (game theoretically) punish those services which use ads unnecessarily. Adblock is the least I can do.
If you only eat the leftovers once or twice and factor in grocery shopping, cooking, cleaning, and eating time you're probably looking at around an hour a meal.

For people who don't enjoy cooking and/or eating it's as if you had to wash dishes or mow your lawn for 2-3 hours a day just to survive. It's a chore and I really hope Soylent works so I don't have to do it anymore.

My response to yesterday's down votes, in a thread about health and eating. Food for thought (about food), if you like.
Sometimes, I wonder why we spend billions trying optimized a javascript code that will anyway run slower than a naive C/C++ app solving the same problem.
Part of the answer is that you just need one url, a browser to access an app: Much simpler than downloading and installing a software.

From my point of view, in a near future, browsers will execute a language that will be statically typed, not garbage collected, with support of multi-threading (I mean real threads with shared memory, not webworkers), and mapping to SIMD units (AVX, SSE, NEON, ...). That day, there won't be any reason anymore for web apps to be slower than native apps. Plus, they will be a lot more power efficient than the javascript vm.
>Take your time to cook, chew your food and talk with your fellow human beings. Share your meals, every day.

Some people live alone, just don't eat with other people or do things while they eat which prevents socializing.

And, you could still socialize while you (or your friends included) eat Soylent. You don't have to have food in front of you to sit at a dinner table.

>Sure, preparing and cooking food takes time. But you know, that's actually a good thing

Not for me. Sure, cooking can be fun enough, but I share my kitchen with 12 other people (live in a dorm), and the kitchen is what would be in a normal household. You now have to plan when to cook since the utilities can easily get taken.

Also, my time can be spent on other things, like relaxing instead of reading etc etc.

>Variation is good, social interaction is good, I can't see the point in soylent, not to mention the interesting question of what will happen long term healthwise if you switch to a mono-cultural product like this for any significant fraction of your diet.

Sure, social interaction is good. You don't have to replace every meal with Soylent, but the meals that are a hassle and you eat alone anyways can now be replaced by something that's probably healthier than a frozen pizza or a microwave dish.

I, for one, wouldn't mind replacing some of my meals with Soylent, since it will give me more flexibility than buying salad and having to eat home the next couple of days or else the salad will spoil (and similar circumstances).

In short Soylent gives:

* Flexibility

* More time

* More than likely a healthier alternative to fast food

That said, it isn't for everyone. If you have time and enjoy cooking, then do so. You can also just supplement with Soylent, og supplement with cooking once in a while. Or lastly go full Soylent (which I probably wouldn't). But everyone doesn't fit into one box.
I think diet may have a far bigger impact on taste than genetic similarity. Cows and pigs are far more closely related than chickens and sauropods, yet they taste very differently. Also, plenty of birds don't taste all that much like chicken.
The IRA has members in parliaments now. Negotiations with the Taliban have changed their method from arms to words. I could probably find a few more by spending a little time researching.

I definitely think the workweek rush propagates the idea of 'I wish I could get my food-related time back', so I imagine it could see a lot of success as a work-lunch/home-from-work dinner type product alright.

The fact that US uses its internal politics to be a signatory to treaties and then fails to ratify them is as far as a good portion of the rest of the world is concerned a case of 'breach of contract'. Imagine you going to your bank and taking out a loan, then later defaulting on that loan stating that your spouse did not agree with your action and therefore your signature is null and void.

The fact that the US can do this because they are beyond being disciplined does not make it right. If a country enters into an international treaty after prolonged negotiations and influencing the terms of the treaty the that country ought to be bound by signing the treaty.

If that's not acceptable then you should either not exert influence over the process or you should internally negotiate the mandate with which the representatives of the country are being sent to the treaty negotiations with ratification being a formality after the negotiations end and the treaty is signed.

The current situation is one in which internal politics are used for international advantage, a questionable practice at best.
"Nobody knows" and "interesting to see" are very different to the claims made by Soylent:

"You can finally join the easy, healthy, and affordable future of nutrition."

"What if you never had to worry about food again?"

"For anyone that struggles with allergies, heartburn, acid reflux or digestion, has trouble controlling weight or cholesterol, or simply doesn't have the means to eat well, soylent is for you." (this one is clearly making medical claims and I am amazed that Soylent avoided regulators)

"Soylent frees you from the time and money spent shopping, cooking and cleaning, puts you in excellent health,"

"there is much evidence that it is considerably healthier than a typical diet."

People can do what they like with their bodies but the Soylent founders were shady by making these nonsense claims during fundraising.

There is an option that will probably be as hard as continuing working but it'll help you in the long run: counseling/therapy. Grieving can be a very long process and you should use all the help you can get.

It's a very simple method that can prevent hostnames from resolving; see http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/zero/

Compared to other adblocking methods it's fast and does not use a lot of memory, but it's limited in what it can block (namely connections to specified hostnames).
ditto.

Also, I had to close my browser for the test to be allowed to work (session expiry). I tried closing the tab, but that's not enough.

For me that is an unfair test as I hardly ever close my browser down completely.

Google and Matt will get things right.

We have to acknowledge that Google has been performing up and down the perfect margin (but not getting it perfectly right), but it is because, presumably, they are in the last part of the equation to make it all perfect.

The only thing is they can't simply solve it relying only to technology because search engines deal with people. People are emotional beings, search engine robots, are, not bring funny, just robots.

Consider this as equation Neo (of the Matrix).

I am really not understanding the downvotes. Elon and SpaceX represent (though are not the whole extent of) a direct threat to the funding of and reputation of a whole slew of US government / closely-tied to US govt companies.

If Elon can demonstrate relaunch capabilities for a fraction of the normal cost, then the big question from Congress will be "So why are we paying you guys so much".

This is irrespective of whether its reusable space launches, or smaller "mission focused" space vehicles.

Any project that is capable of providing an answer to that question is worth tens of billions in continued funding - so the X-37B could be empty and it would still be a worthwhile investment (it isn't empty, of course, but it's value is budgetary defence, not national defence).

All of which to my cyncial mind is far more realistic than a secret project to put nukes in orbit.
I find it amazing (and somewhat disappointing) that some comments are heralding this as the end of malaria. The lifecycle of mosquitoes is quite complex and mosquitoes are very adaptable creatures, unfortunately. I imagine this device would help, but only as part of a more comprehensive approach

It is really amazing, that the Theory of Relativity and Quantum Mechanics were pretty much accepted science in the 1920's, but it took to the end of 1950's before Continental Drift was accepted.
I'm not declaring it impossible, but I think that saying "this is a meal replacement, its safe to replace all your meals with it" is premature and potentially dangerous.
It seems that Y2K was mostly painful because tons of data interchange formats specified two-digit years and fixing it meant getting it fixed at all endpoints at the same time.

Basically beginning with XML in the 1990s, the "modern world" is rapidly converging on accepting full, textual dates (preferably in one of the ISO 8601 formats) in any but the most private and short-lived of formats (protobufs and the like). These textual formats are obviously not vulnerable to the 2038 issue, so preparing for 2038 will be significantly easier, as it can be done unilaterally, without all the coordination overhead.
The company may aim to replace all their users' meals with Soylent, but the user can have different aims, which can just be to replace the occasional meal that you had to rush, even if that's just once a month. Even the creator still eats normal meals with friends and family.

Besides, it only replaces company if the only thing you can do accompanied is eat. Otherwise, it might actually save you time to do other social activities, instead of having to drive home and spend 90 minutes preparing and eating a meal.

It's perfectly reasonable to have reservations about Soylent, but your comment just sounds like a "damn kids with your video games, get off my lawn".

Yehuda Katz, the lead on Ember.js was categorical about the use of ember.js when you require progressive enhancement: Don't use ember.js.

So this is just a case of using the wrong tools for the job, buying the hype without validating the requirements.
You didn't, but ceasarby above did, and that's the post this thread is replying to.
Don't you generally use those for web apps where SEO and search engine indexation is less important? I'm not very experienced in this area, so I find it hard to think of an example where you need indexation/SEO-optimization for the kinds of things you do with Angular or Ember.

I'm very curious to hear of some examples.
Why are you so surprised that a metric like GPA (or undergrad accomplishment in general), with a hard ceiling, loses its correlation with actual talent at the top end of the scale? That is, most undergrads will simply never get the opportunity to publish one paper in undergrad, let alone two or three, so if you admit them to grad-school based on maybe a publication, good grades, and maybe some internship/REU experience, you should expect to admit some highly talented students and some students who were very talented at optimizing the capped metrics on their resume to the maximum but not at actual research.

Hell, in a way, it's basic reinforcement learning, is it not? What sort of rational agent or system will "go above and beyond" when the reward signal is capped at a maximum value? When you look at it that way, every single step of the selection, sorting, and filtering process we call academic meritocracy is optimizing for irrational devotion to careerist signaling, which has only a weak correlation to real devotion to science.

I suppose React.js and similar approaches would make it easier, but I also don't immediately see the use case for building single-page apps that need indexation.

Just to pick on a tiny part of that post, consuming anti-oxidants hasn't been reliably shown to have any health benefits.

If consuming anti-oxidants has any effect, it's not necessarily a positive one, since the body uses oxidation for various processes, for example the immune system.

You might be consuming anti-oxidants aiming to benefit your health, yet be negatively impacting your immune system's ability to fight infection and prevent cancer.
