Isabel, a cute 10-year-old girl from Texas who loved riding horses, walked into my office a year and a half ago with one of the most severe cases of autoimmune disease I had ever seen. Her face was swollen, her skin was inflamed, her joints were swollen, her immune system was attacking her entire body–her muscles, her skin, her joints, her blood vessels, her liver, and her white and red blood cells. Isabel couldn’t squeeze her hand or make a fist. The tips of her fingers and toes were always cold from Raynaud’s disease that inflammed her blood vessels. She was tired and miserable and was losing her hair. Isabel was on elephant doses of intravenous steroids every three weeks just to keep her alive, and she was taking prednisone, aspirin, acid blockers, and methotrexate, a chemotherapy drug used to shut down the immune system daily.

Two months after I first saw Isabel and discovered and treated the underlying causes of her inflammation–after, as she says she, “stopped eating gluten, dairy, and sugar and took some supplements” she was symptom free. In less than a year, she was completely healthy, her blood tests were normal, and she was off all her medication.

After reading your comment I thought of the following:

1) Considering that a tetrachromatic colour X is seen by regular folks as a trichromatic colour Y.

Then:

2) Are all artificial representations (paint) of the tetrachromatic colour X also seen by regular folks as the trichromatic colour Y?

I guess your hypothesis is true only if the answer to the above question is "yes".
Thank you Mayson!
They replaced the Ford logo with a Bently logo on the car as well.
Its neat, but it's troubling that they really haven't thought it out.

First big problem I see, is that it will be sitting in the sun while driving, so it will quickly overheat and have sun damage over time.
Ebay has lots of good deals. You need to research things like the difference between shimano xtr and shimano altus or sram "x" vs sram "y". I got a great 2009 shimano xtr light weight mountain bike for my son. Note 29 inch wheels (29ers) are all the rage now. This means 26 inch mountain bikes are going way down in value but are still great bikes. Lots of good info on youtube as well.

Pretty spot on; this is definitely one of Reddit's flaw (among many others).
Historically, @T, which is now Gc<T>, was assumed to be the 'default' pointer type. Like, from a conventions standpoint. And it was used all over the place.

As we wrote more and more Rust, it became clear that unique ownership (~T, now Box<T>) was just as useful, faster, and better. Remember, this type basically compiles down to a regular pointer, with compiler inserted malloc/free. So you can imagine how much less that is compared to a refcount + cycle detection.

So, Gc<T> was never really improved, and it's usage in the compiler itself was less and less. The last place it was used was in the AST, and so syntax extensions used it, but we didn't recommend it for anything else.

Now, this past week, a contributor managed to re-write the AST to not use Gc<T>, so even than is gone. Or will be soon, I forget if it's passed CI so far. But anyway, now that it's gone, it will probably be simply removed, though that decision hasn't been made yet.

Basically, what it means is that affine types are awesome.
Nice analogy, hyperlocal is indeed something many startups is trying to stake a claim but no one seems to be able to hit the jackpot.
"Cell phones are not dangerous because the driver was looking at his phone or playing with the buttons when he had an accident. They are dangerous because they encourage your mind to wander."

So you are claiming that having to look away from the road for possibly whole seconds to deal with a phone is not really dangerous, but what is dangerous is your mind wandering? I'm sorry but experience and common sense says otherwise.

I would also argue that your second point is not as not clear cut either. Having some sort of distraction is definitely helpful most of the time when driving long distances. I personally find audio books very greatly help to fight off monotony, which in turn keeps my attention higher than if I was not being distracted.
I’ve been working on a bot monitoring platform - hoping to launch soon.

Problem:
Up to 61.5 percent[1] of website visitors are bots, of which 30.5% are malicious. The presence of bots lead to content theft, malware injection, server hijacking, spam links and DDoS attacks. Website owners are often unaware of their existence and the extent of their effects.

Solution:
A platform to monitor and analyse bot traffic. We alert you to attacks, pinpoint affected pages and identify and analyse all bots. To retrieve traffic data we use pixel tracking & JavaScript tracking code. To detect bots we look for abnormalities in a series of traffic data such as HTTP header fingerprinting, JavaScript footprint, timestamps, IP reputation etc.

With the results from our platform you can better implement methods of prevention such as blocking IP addresses/user agents or go about including CAPTCHAS or similar where necessary.

If this is something you would be interested in I’d love to hear what you think :).

>It's odd that they promote their product by saying that phone use while driving is unsafe. I fail to see who this is significantly safer than using a phone, since to use the HUD one needs to necessarily remove their attention and focus from the road and redirect it to a small point much closer to their face.

The thing is, jet fighter pilots use HUDs. If those work for them, I'm pretty sure it's ok for a car too.

Plus the road is quite boring site most of the time. You are not always in fast traffic or streets full of pedestrians. If you leave in Nevada, close to Highway-50 even more so, but I digress.
So you are claiming that having to look away from the road for possibly whole seconds to deal with a phone is not really dangerous, but what is dangerous is your mind wandering?

This is a false choice and something that the person you are replying to never said.
I have to strongly disagree there. There may have been some anti-establishment satire in his writing, but that is not the main thing he wrote about.

Lem was probably one of the most pure sci-fi authors out there. He was not that interested in using sci-fi as a metaphor for everyday issues, but he genuinely wanted to explore issues that were outside of our everyday lives. Such as what would an artificial intelligence or an artificial consciousness look like, what would an alien intelligence or consciousness look like, how could we possibly communicate with a being that is truly alien, i.e., it is completely different than everything we know about life and biological development on earth. His two most famous novels -- Solaris and Fiasco were both about communicating with an alien intelligence, and did not have any anti-communist or anti-soviet satire in them.

I agree he is a great writer. But I do not like it when people say "he was not really a sci-fi writer" as a precursor to saying "he is a great writer", as if one could not be a great writer while being a sci-fi writer. Lem is a great writer and a sci-fi writer. He possessed the most important thing in a sci-fi writer he could think up of interesting and/or important ideas, and he could describe them in an engaging manner and explore the consequences.

By the way, now that sci-fi is a billions of dollars a year business, sci-fi writers still have not bothered to deal with the ideas suggested by Lem. Aliens in modern sci-fi are almost always based on humans in one way or another. Today's sci-fi authors are committing the same mistake the scientists of Fiasco did by thinking too much about themselves when trying to imagine a being that is truly alien to humanity.
Pick your time. Usually bike shops have their sales in the fall when you can get a previous year model at a good discount.

Avoid carbon fiber frames and pro level gruppos. Go for an alumninum frame and a Deore gruppo as it's gonna save you a load of cash and give you a good bike to get started.

Save some cash to buy a new saddle. Usually the saddles that come with lower cost bikes are incredibly uncomfortable. Money spent on a good saddle is money well spent.

Most importantly, enjoy your bike as much as you can!
Everyday for my very short route of 1.5 miles from work to home I see texting drivers. I don't like texting much myself, so I don't feel the urge to use the device for it, and I have now idea what would make these people stop?
Skimming through these, the sad thing is that quite a lot of these are seemingly people/kids for western countries. It reminds me of a segment in Jay Leno where they went on the street asking geography questions like, where on the map is Russia or something like that.

It amazes me how people, even young ones, can be so out of touch with culture. Whether you like U2 or not, if you grew up in the western world and you're above the age of 14 (which most these people seem like), you know, or now what, U2 is.

Largest Liberian Newspaper: US Government Manufactured Ebola, AIDS Virus
This is a complex subject, and it reminds me of the science fiction book The Sparrow. Please, no spoilers from the commenters. I remember reading the author saying that one of the premises of the book is that in our relationship with God, [or karma or the unknown or the universe or whatever], many times we create all these causalities that really don't exist. So I'll do this, and then that will happen

I was reminded of this in several parts of the essay, like when people write the kids and tell them just to work hard, and things will work out for them. Or when the author expected that for the money he sent, something better would have happened.

This is almost universally a recipe for terrible letdowns in life.

At the risk of sounding pedantic, we do things because they are the right things to do. The universe is random in many ways and acts in ways we may not easily comprehend. A person chooses to work hard because they believe that working hard has value, and a life spent working at something they value is more precious than one spent passively looking on. A person gives to some charity because they believe that making that choice makes their own life more authentic.

I'm not saying that perhaps there isn't some better way of accomplishing all these important goals of getting out of poverty or helping those in Haiti. I'm saying that we all make personal decisions that demonstrate to others and ourselves the things that we value. That the real story here isn't something along the lines of "I pushed this button, and nothing happened" but more like "I made this decision because these things were important to me"

Or maybe I'm just too much of an existentialist :)
I'm not actually much fussed by the story, but I am kind of sick of this ridiculous notion that anything not actually illegal is perfectly okay.

>Do Scotland, New Zealand, Hungary use "corn sugar"? We don't use it much in England and we (along with those other countries) also have problems with obesity.

How much of a problem, though, compared to say, the US? I've travelled quite a bit in Europe, Asia, etc, and I've seen nothing compared to the US level of obesity. Heck, the kind of people you'll see in a Walmart (and not isolated -- tons of them, and all over the states)...

I guess it's also other stuff: deep fried anything, Sneaker and Mars bars, chips (crisps), BS "sports" drinks, sodas, etc etc.

This is smart. Cellular jamming is mega-illegal in the US (even in prisons![0]), and when I first read through this article I missed part of the first paragraph and couldn't understand how this product could be sold.

However, the idea of working with network providers is great, and opens the door to a lot more options, such disabling cellphones in bars, resturants, etc. based on complex filters (e.g., allow "emergency" texts or only from close family).

I bet the movie theater industry will jump on this quickly.

> So you are claiming that having to look away from the road for possibly whole seconds to deal with a phone is not really dangerous, but what is dangerous is your mind wandering?

The point is that anything that distracts your mind/vision from the road is dangerous, be it looking at your phone or reading a tweet in a transparent HUD display. What Navdy is building, while interesting, isn't necessarily safer.
I can't tell you what u/conception means specifically, but I can point out that the story cites exactly one individual and has no control group. If you don't have a statistically significant sample size and a control group, you are conducting bad science.

Don't downvote mden if you disagree.

> So you are claiming that having to look away from the road for possibly whole seconds to deal with a phone is not really dangerous, but what is dangerous is your mind wandering?

I'm not OP, but it's not that your mind is wandering per se (which suggests a neutral state) but your mind is actively focused on something other than the road, like an HUD in front of your face.

Peeking at the next turn on nav mode is not a big deal, but if you're composing a text using voice, I'll bet anyone $100 that the voice recognition isn't good enough that you won't be staring at the screen to check it's getting the right words.

The thing I dislike most about this product is that it deludes people into thinking this is a "safe" way to operate your phone and text while driving, and basically gives permission to do so. No way to text while driving is safe, not really even at red lights.

>You're right. Traveling alone in several foreign countries for more than a month as someone just out of high school is completely safe.

First strawman. I never said it's "completely safe". Staying in your parents house is not "completely safe" either. You can fall of the stairs for example, or get an electric shock. Or they can bore you to death by overprotection.

However such travelling is perfectly common. Tons of young people go backpacking in several foreign countries (you say it as "foreign country" means danger. In actuallity going to places like e.g Paris, Denmark or Singapore is a heck of a lot safer than staying home in Baltimore, Atlanta or Los Angeles).

Besides "just out of high school" translates eighteen, so it's not a "kid" anymore (heck, in most countries, it also legally an adult). Heck, eighteen year olds were conscribed in most major wars, including Vietnam.

>There is no reason a parent would have to worry about their kid doing that.

Of course there's a reason: being over-protective. A little worrying is OK. The BS "I'll be reading the news for that part of the world" (for what? In case there was some avalance or earthquake or armed robbery and a news story mentions their child?) is not.
It's very poorly written, that's all. In both surveys, the group in question is "under age 35".

There is little evidence that the alcohol in the red wine is what gives benefits. It's a possible avenue of study (does moderate consumption of alcohol improve health by relaxing & reducing stress levels?) but the current belief is some of the other chemicals are the key.
