Isn't all foodstuff this way? I watched a BBC documentary a number of years ago about a woman who had reportedly lived entirely on crisps (potato chips) for years[0]. She wasn't entirely healthy by any means, but it speaks to the resilience of our biology when you can get by on basically anything provided you get enough calories and a few vitamins.

Once you get past a bit of common sense, the whole notion of "healthy food" and "unhealthy food" often looks pretty ridiculous. It's really not worth time debating the negligible pros and cons of one particular food item.

Great tips, but I don't believe examples are creating an obligation. It's holding someone to their word, their commitment, their obligation.

So much of life these days is about having a backbone and not letting yourself be pushed around, herded like a sheep.
Plenty of people will feel the same way, but I suspect the proportion is much lower among people under 25. Pretty soon people will probably use software that integrates social and finanicial so often they won't even think of it as anything special.

>In addition, milk is not a low-calorie beverage. Even if people drink nonfat milk, three cups a day can mean an additional 250 calories consumed. Low-fat or whole milk has even more calories. In an era when every other caloric beverage is being marginalized because of obesity concerns, it’s odd that milk continues to get a pass.

I'm kind of upset that this is an argument here. It's as if the author thinks that because you drink a beverage instead of eat it, it can't make you any less hungry, and therefore you keep on eating and drinking and get fat.

If anything, when I drink a glass of milk I feel more satiated (less hungry) than I would for a lot of foods. Beverages can definitely make you feel full.

In addition, I've seen a good amount of evidence that protein (in milk or other foods) produces more satiation per unit calorie than carbs or fat. I'm too lazy to cite my sources right now, but a google search shows some merit to the idea that milk helps you lose weight.

I use to drink a fair amount of juice a few years ago. I am almost 100% off sugary drink now. The way I got off of it was drinking about twice as much water as juice but for some reason it was only effective when it was ice cold to stop the early cravings. I got an insulated water bottle that was around 2 and a half liter's and it worked out well.

I assume any "no fees" clause means that they're not taking fees at this time. It doesn't mean "no fees anywhere in the system". So there very likely is a 3% fee to the user, just not from snapchat.
just remember though that interest rates are currently 0%, even the 10y treasury bond is only marginally above 2%, so giving away 2% a year at least for the near to medium term assumes capital growth in riskier forms (equities, more donations) well above distribution levels. This is why explicit payments on a recurring basis are more important than ever, even more so than the (certainly still brilliant) 1m donation. Endownments that have been used to payout ratios of the order you mention have relied for most of the past 50 years on long term treasury yields (30y) well above 5%. We're now nudging 3% for the first time since the dawn of the computer era. Tough times.

iOS 8.1.1 Release Notes
Caffeine withdrawal can give you much more than headaches, and withdrawal can last for at least a week, though generally at higher dosages.

Until I realised what was going on, when I was taking breaks from using 360mg very other day - so equivalent to 5-6 cups of coffee - to boost my weight lifting in periods, I had week long bouts of diarrhoea, intense headaches, shakes setting in in the evening (so severe I had to time my painkillers, or I'd have problems swallowing them because I had difficulty holding my hands steady enough to drink a glass of water), fever, and night sweats.

Caffeine can be a nasty drug to go cold turkey from if your intake has been high. Best bet is to step down gradually (not a long period - over a week or two), coupled with pre-emptively taking paracetamol/acetaminophen in the early evening.

Often, someone who gets a lot of caffeine and starts experiencing symptoms like above may be experiencing withdrawal without being aware.

Heya! Just backed the project, seems super promising! As a developer have you tested these while coding? I've tried rainymooods which works alright, but I'm wondering now if this wouldn't be more effective (because of the cancelling). Also I may have missed this, but do you have any ideas with regards to motion sensoring or opening the API? It'd be great to buy a motion sensor compatible with Android and hook into the wearables to alert if someone (or in the case of camping something) is nearby.
First mind share. If you are a developer and you want payments, currently you think Stripe.

> It uses a lot of polymorphism

Are you sure? I have never looked at Java implementation of Box2D used in this benchmark, but Dart version is definitely not that polymorphic in its hottest function which corresponds to this Java one:

https://github.com/jbox2d/jbox2d/blob/76fa2602a6abcbc557c9d5...

It looks like mostly a bunch of floating point math to me with not that many calls out.

Another interesting thing I noticed now is that Java version has all vector math inlined manually, while in Dart version it is not the case (at least not entirely if I remember correctly - we want to write high level code and let optimizer do what it can).
Agreed. Going from a NZ bank to another country's bank isn't that simple anymore. Using an international currency makes it equally simple anywhere in the world.

Bitcoin already has a better user experience than banks. Just give it another year or two, to the point where bitcoin will be invisible to users the same way that Linux is invisible (yet, the world runs on it). These services will be rewritten with bitcoin under the hood and nobody will even know or care.

Nice to see a bit of contrarianism for once.
Right, but to give one obvious example, you just ruled out a whole industry of trainers who charge a high day rate for giving courses in specialised fields. You only know what bringing those people in was worth after your newly trained team gets better results.

Even then, unless the training is in some convenient sales/marketing field where the resulting conversions are easy to quantify, you may not be able to put a dollar amount on the long term value of the knowledge and insights your people gained from the training for a long time.

As an extreme example, consider the possibility of a one-day training course for software developers taught by a world class expert for $10K. Maybe one of your developers learned a new defensive programming technique five hours into that day, and that technique later prevented a bug that would have cost your business $1M to rectify. Obviously that training had a very high return on investment, but how is the trainer supposed to demonstrate that to his next client?
Your question was answered in the parent comment: the users paid, and competition drove the fees to zero, i.e., the costs are now paid by the banks.

Same here in Brazil. Bank accounts are "push-only", though utilities companies can "pull" if I allow them to. My bank even has a slick app to send money to others using their mobile number.

Credit card fees still exist and are pricier than the US, though. All chip-and-pin so POS fraud is much lower than Card Not Present.

The merchant has to buy (or rent) an EFTPOS terminal. The bank also charges the merchant a setup fee to connect your terminal to your bank account. Once that has been done there are no more fees.

You have to look at the way it evolved. Because this is a service offered to customers by each bank in competition with each other, the competition drove the price per transaction to zero.
Most Mac usage in the wild is in laptop form. It is really only the "geeks" who seem to be interested in using their laptops with external displays and setting up desktop-style workstations for them. Also, most Apple desktops are iMacs, which already have large, high-resolution displays.

The monitors built into Apple products are typically much better than consumer $150-$200 monitors and most externals look horrible side-by-side with Macs (dim, mismatched color, wildly lower pixel density, etc). It wasn't until I bought a $400 24" IPS UltraSharp that using an external monitor next to my laptop was actually preferable.
Yes, but they're man-on-the-side already, and they already have the QUANTUM set of attacks and similar for actively racing an MITM on any TCP/UDP/ESP/etc/IP connection they want - and if they have a CA trusted for the purpose by the relevant endpoint, they can safely man-in-the-middle TLS, IPSec, etc.

That's what the diagram shows, essentially: the front end of that attack.

>Is your claim that there is zero correlation between violence and culturally constructed notions of masculinity?

No, my claim is that is phisically impossible to distinguish between society pressure and testosterone combined with a chemical imbalance.

When I was a teenager I have had desire to end it all in the same way that many shooters did, you know why? Is not about "masculinity", is about hatred for everything that breaths, for not fitting into society and the complete lack of social skills that I supposed I was too stupid to learn or that society didn't teach me. There is a lot going on in our body when you are going through puberty, testosterone, loneliness, discomfort, confusion, extreme self-consciousness, a lot of stuff besides "masculinity".

Just to reinforce this: RHEL/CentOS version numbers cannot be directly compared with the upstream projects version numbers. That is the version that was picked as a base, and then bug fixes are ported back to that version. In this case it is a single patch to deal with TeX support in CentOS 6, but for many other packages it can be dozens of patches to try to get a truly stable version.

Nope, the controversy really did happen here (didn't last more than 2 days though).

And the guy triggering it can be called anything, but he most likely wouldn't take money from a video game maker just to raise such a weird controversy. He's just taking any occasion he can to have media talk about him, and being on the extreme left, he is very much attached to the global positive feeling toward the french revolution (which he would probably like to see happen once again, with him being Robespierre, of course).

> There is no reason not to pay for even the most trivial purchase with EFTPOS so I haven't carried cash around in my entire life.

Unfortunately, there is a reason to still carry some cash in Australia: EFTPOS minimums. Airport stores are notorious for this, but it's quite widespread.

"Oh sorry, we have a $10 minimum on EFTPOS."

"... You're a coffee shop."

This stemmed from the fixed price per charge being charged to the merchants. The less you pay, the higher percentage that charge is of the total bill you're paying, resulting in them making slightly less profit.

In reality, those charges have been abolished by almost all, if not all, banks in Australia. It's now just a game of trying to make you buy $7 worth of miscellaneous stuff for your coffee. No thanks, I'll go elsewhere.

> Are you going to use some of that 21MM$$ to buy some of the coins currently setup for auction by the US Marshall?

I wish! Nah, only if we had reason to buy that many coins anyway. We got funded to make infrastructure and develop products, not to buy and hold bitcoin (except as operational needs demand).

In all seriousness, one of the problems of this space is that it has been historically difficult for ROI on bitcoin companies to outperform bitcoin itself. We'll see if we're able to buck that trend ;)

The problem as I understand it, is that the skin in the ears isn't really tough enough to stick something in there for too long. Reportedly US marines abandoned those linked above, as troops started bleeding from their ears after a certain number of hours of use. Now, that was probably 20 hours+ - not really a problem if used only for sleep or only for work. But for any kind of 24/7 use, something molded to the outer ears is probably better.

Considering how factory farms often treat livestock, I think there's a very low moral bar we have to beat when considering not continuing the process.

Also, considering that many of the current cattle breeds are largely human creations, I don't think there's the same moral imperative to continue their existence like I believe there is with "natural" species, or even with animal breeds which could survive on their own.

Right, I suspect that the difference is that there never were any charges per transaction to the merchant in NZ. I've never seen a shop that had a minimum size for an EFTPOS transaction here.

On the other hand there are a lot of shops that either have a minimum transaction size, or a surcharge, on Credit Card transactions.
Yes, it is a very good idea. That's precisely how the Mas Hamilton/Kaba Mas X-series safe locks work. The dial is rotated a few times first, at which point the lock powers on and can be operated, solenoids fired, etc.

However, those safe locks get to control many other aspects of the mechanical makeup of the lock, and rely on well defined and reliable standards of production of the doors they are applied to. Consumer smart locks don't get that advantage, so the amount of power required to throw a bolt won't always be consistent. I don't know what it would take to ensure enough human power is transferred to provide enough force to always overcome a stuck bolt.

"For example, is it always corruption for the member of the board for a business to own any company which has dealing with that business?"

Milk was "evolved" about the same way wheat "evolved" - which is to say, it was created through over thousands of years of selective breeding. Modern milk is pretty carefully engineered to give very specific percentages of fat, protein and sugars by way of the way cattle are bred and selected. Modern milk is about as "evolved" as a ham sandwich.
