Definitely. Sports star salaries aren't keeping up with growing gate receipts, concession sales, TV DEALS, etc. Especially when you at the short careers and how injury can derail things. Owners/club execs are laughing all the way to the bank.

It's almost more like a guy going broke trying to invest his life savings on a stock tip than a CEO. You fail to ascend to superstardom? You end up with no money, no roots since you've moved around 30 times in five years, few employable skills outside of being physically fit, but wait... you're not physically fit because your body is broken from years of abuse.
Still cheaper than all the other carriers.

You sound shocked, shocked to have thought of the most common sales objection in the history of startups. Sell any product to a real business and see how long it takes that concern to come up. Memetically, it predates "acquihires" by more than 15 years.
This is a pretty ground-breaking study, and do hope it gets much wider coverage in mainstream media. I had earlier read the book by the lead author of this study Dr. Esselstyn, "Prevent and reverse heart disease", which describes the plant-based diet approach and research done earlier that was effective with a group of 22 patients with terminal heart disease. Also, recommend reading related work on diet-based approaches by Dean Ornish. Ornish's approach does allow the use of some diary, eggs, and some amount of oil.

The documentary "Forks over knives" - available on Netflix, describes this approach and has features interviews with Esselstyn as well.

I'd like to see a study of red light countdown timers. I have only seen them in China, but I think they are awesome. The timer tells you how long until the light turns green. If it is 30 seconds, you can check your text messages, or adjust the radio, but when it hits 3...2...1... everyone goes at the same time. I have never seen so many cars make it through an intersection in a single light cycle.

I have a feeling it is good for safety as well because drivers get some downtime, and a timer that lets them know when they need to be back at full attention.

As a person who works in IT, and from my own personal point of view, I agree that I find it hard to imagine that someone would sign up to FB without clear awareness that feed manipulation and other shenanigans might occur[0]. But the thing is, people are doing so every day.

Most people on FB are using FB assuming it's a utility something like email, without realising that it is like email, if email had its own agenda. It's really easy to forget that most people in this world do not live/work in the echo chamber that we do. When I talk to them about the issues, sure, at best they might profess to understand or even be concerned at the time of that conversation, but by and large they won't change their behaviour and the conversation will be quickly forgotten.

Never underestimate the indifference with which people can view the inner workings of technology.

0. I see the fact that I find this hard to imagine as a form of "Expert Blindness" or "Knowledge Blindness". If someone has a better or more accepted term for this phenomenon, I'd like to hear it.

Besides the points made by the sibling comment, this feature is crucially important to JavaScript. It hasn't been implemented yet because the spec itself is just now being finalized. This page was made in an effort to spread the word about the upcoming modules, which people really need to see now and understand because it's going to be a big change.

I don't see how it still can't be crucially important.

> traffickers are likely angry,

I really don't think shutting down a single website is going to make human traffickers angry. They can just keep doing business as usual, "the old-fashioned way". This is more of a loss for human trafficking customers than the victims.
That seems.... not true. HN doesn't actually send the page. It just gives the URL that lets me go to that page. Then another server sends it. Or at least tries. Sometimes the traffic is too much and the page goes down. In that case HN is very much not responsible for sending the page!
While a module system in JavaScript will be useful, this seems overly complicated.

I like Lua's approach to modules. In Lua, a file is basically equivalent to a function body. It accepts arguments and can return values. In JavaScript, this is not allowed.

In Lua, a function can accept multiple arguments in a tuple called `...`. Every file is implicitly a vararg function, so we can unpack the `...` to get arguments.

> add.lua
local a,b = ...
return a + b

> file.lua
local add = load 'add.lua'
print(add(1,2)) --> 3

load takes a file path and returns that source file as a function.
Most files ignore arguments, but they do return values.

> add2.lua
return function(a,b) return a + b end

> file2.lua
local add = require 'add'
print(add(1,2))

`require` loads a source file, executes it, and returns the value that it returns. It is similar to `return load(fileName)()`, but it also has a search mechanism, and caches the result. So, the Lua equivalent of export default is simply returning a value at the end of a source file.

The named exports are also easy to replicate. You simply return an object with the keys you want.

> math.lua
return {
add = function(a,b) return a + b end,
sub = function(a,b) return a - b end
}

> other.lua
local math = require 'math'
local add, sub = math.add, math.sub

You can also have something similar to the `export function name(){}` declaration.

> hello.lua
local exports = {}

function exports.hello()
print "Hello World"
end

exports.VERSION = '0.0.1'

return exports

> file3.lua
local hello = require'hello'.hello
local version = require'hello'.VERSION

hello() --> Hello World

In all, I think the Lua's require is a much cleaner way to implement modules. Unfortunately, it cannot handle circular references. It may be possible to add this feature using Lua's coroutines, however. I will have to research how it is handled in JavaScript to be sure.

If they want that? Yes. Why not? Does Amazon have some kind of "we got them as customer once, now we own them" privilege?

Non-competes always sounded to me like an incentive for companies to behave bad. "Well, Bill cannot work somewhere else as long as we compete, so we don't have to treat him well. And the customers he brought in won't be going anywhere else for the time being, so we don't have to treat them well either. Perfect."
Nope, and no blinding either. This should be considered a preliminary study at best. The quantity of participants doesn't make much of a difference without proper scientific controls.
Wikipedia says: In numerical linear algebra, the Jacobi method is an algorithm for determining the solutions of a diagonally dominant system of linear equations.

They made a slower method 200 times faster, and from the article it sounds like it will now be the preferred method for some problems. It would be interesting to see how it compares to the algorithms it will displace.

Talking about problems that take days to solve on large parallel computers, it would be interesting to hear how many megawatt hours of electricity this could save in a year.
Persona was not discontinued. Persona lost active development and marketing. A wrong decision, but not one that affects the protocol itself.
We started with Java because our middle/high school students do algorithmic competitions, and the choice is either Java or C++. At least Java is also used on the AP Computer Science exam.

Not exactly a control group, but among the group of 22 patients who did not follow the diet, 13 or 62% had some sort of adverse event (stroke/heart-attack etc), compared with just 1 out of the group of 177 (0.6%) who did follow the diet. That seems to be pretty compelling evidence that the approach is effective.

Pigz: a modern gzip with support for multiple cores
It adds a lot of stuff, and I think this site is going to add more explanation about that. I'm not fully qualified to go into everything, but off the top of my head:

* The dependencies are static, so you can't do stuff like `if(Math.random() < .5) { require('foo') } else { require('bar') }`. That is a good thing. A lot of people at this point agree that a statically analyzable dependency graph is a huge win.

* Bindings are truly exported. If you exported `const foo = 5`, imported it in another module, and tried to change it, you would get a static error. Semantics and identity of bindings carry over. This also means they are mutable; if the module exporting `foo` changes it everyone else will see it too.

* A fleshed out module loader API, which is seriously lacking in node

There are other advantages too. The simplistic approach of CommonJS works, but long-term it's not the best solution for the wide use-cases of JavaScript.

EDIT: and this will be backwards-compatible. I don't know all the details but this can be implemented in a browser today without breaking things (I know people on the teams working on this)
I definitely see differences in some things at higher frequencies. When motion is involved such as my eye moving around, LEDs turn into an annoying series of distinct dots. Tail lights on some vehicles are big offenders and have almost caused me to crash. When adjusting LED duty cycle on my arduino projects I always increase the default frequency because ~900hz is too slow and flickers noticeably when I look around.
I disagree with that decision, FWIW. I think overloading comments with a special syntax such as #%- for example is better than having incompatible formats.

Besides, code reviews essentially are comments.
I think you've slightly misrepresented the second driver's intentions. The article says:

"...the guy behind, he sees the two or three seconds and thinks, oh, the guy in front of me is going to floor it too, I'll floor it and we'll both get through the intersection. Whereas the guy in front thinks, OK, I only have two or three seconds left, I'm going to slowdown."

So it's not that the driver in front sees the timer and stops during a green light, whilst the driver behind doesn't see the timer and isn't expecting to stop during a green.

More likely that both drivers see the timer and make conflicting decisions: the driver in front decides there isn't enough time and slows down; the driver behind decides there is enough time and speeds up, having assumed the driver in front would be doing the same.

However, your scenario is plausible too and just as problematic.
Messi is a great example of what can happen if you run through the fouls instead of intentionally falling down. Of course, not many people have his ball skills and I bet his low center of gravity helps him stay upright.

Do be aware that it looks like it's an area that needs further study (and apparently the "fourth" cell may detect light between red and green). On average, humans are (generally) not tetrachromats. Poking around on a cursory search suggests that only one subject in that 2012 study expressed attributes that were definitive evidence of the existence of tetrachromacy in humans. Apparently there's some ongoing discussion as to whether or not the optic nerve is capable of funnelling an extra color channel to the brain, so that'll be of interest to follow.

Importantly, I was thinking along the lines of some insects and spiders that are capable of seeing into the UV spectrum for sexual signalling or locating food sources (e.g. flowers). Which reminds me that there's been some evidence that suggests those who've had cataract surgery may be able to see deeper into the violet spectrum without a UV-filtering obstacle in place. But that's likely just the function of the blue-sensitive cells.
I'm a male engineer in my mid 20s, and I used myredbook occasionally because I have found the dating market in the Bay Area to be unfavorable.
I had no trouble getting reasonable-quality ass in my previous metro area, but I can't get laid by non-obese women here in the Bay. Some of my friends and coworkers report a similar experience.

Anyway, the quality of myredbook has taken a nosedive in the past year. Back when I started using it two years ago, $250 got you one hour with a decent looking broad, with multiple shots on goal. Now that same amount gets you a fat ugly chick, who shows up at your apartment high and hassles you for extra tips. Plus, I've noticed a lot more fake profiles and shady behavior, and by judging from forum reports, there has been an increase in thefts and crimes against johns.
While interesting this is a highly flawed study. It should be considered preliminary with more properly controlled followup studies.

1. No control group

You need to have a control group that continues eating a standard healthy diet that includes animal products. The 11% who were non-adherent could have been eating unhealthy diets which contributed to their instances of CAD. Without a control it could have just been eating a healthy diet that helped, not the exclusion of animal products.

2. No blinding

Of course a food consumption study is nearly impossible to double blind but at the very least the researchers could have been blinded. This also requires a control group.

3. Self-reported data

While it's very tough to get anything other than self-reported data for long term food consumption, it makes it far more likely that the participants will report inaccurate or incorrect data. Results tend to be biased because participants don't want to let researchers down and lie about adherence.

A control group goes through the same amount of attention and procedure as the experimental group, controlling for as many independent variables as possible. "Someone in a lab coat is watching my diet" all by itself is probably a pretty strong motivator for change, and one that the general public does not have. What people eat when they think someone's watching can be markedly different to what they'd eat in private.

I have a Bachelors in Computer Information Systems and have been a web developer for just over 5 years. Started my career working on a group of websites used for educational purposes that was required to be Section 508 and WCAG accessible. I found this to be my most rewarding work. After that I started my current job that I have been at for 4 years. I helped grow our internally managed websites from 1 to over 30, including ecommerce on half of them. I have built and maintained internal sites to provide solutions for multiple divisions in our company.

I am looking for a position at a diverse company that will allow me to continue learning and expanding my skillset. I thrive in an environment where I am able to collaborate with others.
You are right. This is not for an article. I only try to understand better how people monetize apps these days. Thanks
One immediate issue is that conscientiousness, e.g. the ability to maintain a difficult diet for an extensive period of time, is quite correlated with longevity.

This is a very commonly known effect, which makes me more than a bit suspicious of this particular study.

This is also why a control group with random assignment is necessary, particularly in the social sciences. There are simply too many confounding factors to make epidemiology useful in basically any way.
