Eating vegetables, well, some are nutritionally useless and can all be prepared in unhealthy ways. However, generally eating a varied diet wih fiber and fresh vegetables is healthy for people and hats my suggestion.

Exercise proper precautions on workshops means actually wear eye protection, hearing protection, and follow fire codes in a trade I am involved in.

chroot (often referred to as a "chroot jail") limits a process to a certain subset of the filesystem - e.g. you could limit a httpd process so that it can only see /var/www, and it would not be able to see anything outside that, so if there was a security compromise of the web server, an attacker would not be able see anything outside that folder tree.

A FreeBSD jail is a like a lightweight virtual machine, and is very similar to a Docker container in Linux (though it has been around for about a decade longer than Docker). It provides isolation for processes etc., but uses less resources than a full virtual machine. It is limited in that it has to be the same operating system as the host.

This is the problem in having a vague landing page which doesn't explain anything.
While browserify allows you to use node modules in the browser, NW.js (like node-webkit) allows you to build applications by providing a DOM and browser window. Like popcorntime.
There's usually a paragraph in most introductory macroeconomic textbooks, as they introduce the definitions of nominal GDP and real GDP, to the effect of "Real GDP is GDP deflated by the price of a basket of goods. It cannot account for qualitative improvements in the nature of goods, nor can it account for substitution effects where an old good is completely replaced by a new good of equal price but higher quality. These effects are difficult to measure and difficult to quantify." And then because they are difficult to measure and difficult to quantify, they are ignored in the rest of the textbook.

It's telling that a professional economist like Larry Summers can forget that paragraph. When you work with models day in and day out for your whole career, the models quickly become reality, even if the models have known flaws and blind spots that become very apparent when you apply them to everyone else's reality.
traces will be left, regardless. Natural protection (cams, nuts, etc) damages the rock too. Sometimes much more than a bolt would have. I've seen plenty of "cracks" that were nothing more than a stretch of piton scars. A well-placed and installed bolt can reduce the wear on the rock, and can blend in if done right. A lot of climbing gear that is meant to be left can be bought in color tones the casual observer is less likely to notice.
Thanks for the corrections. Wish I could edit my original comment to note the inaccuracies.
Do nuclear weapons (or equivalently massive weapons) not change this equation, by making incumbents incredibly difficult to oust?

Alternatively, would nuclear weapons not make conflicts between warlords either token or devastating?

Does the reliance on extremely high-cost support and weapon systems (satellites, aircraft carriers) not make the barrier to entry for warlords impossibly high?

While the idea of history always repeating itself is appealing, I fail to see how this example can apply in a modern world. Too much has changed, and short of a "mad max" regression, I don't see how feudal China can repeat itself here.
I still remember the first day in my college freshman year Econ 101 class. The professor began by explaining how the foundational idea of the discipline is that people are rational actors who make decisions by weighing costs and benefits. I thought of all the actual people I knew, every one of whom had made major life decisions based on impulse, emotion or stupidity, and thought "welp, so much for economics then."

The problem with the big weapons systems is that they really need other nation states to fight with, and the biggest systems require dominance of the area to function.

Carriers are being challenged by hypersonic missiles that keep them offshore. Those billion dollar bombers have incredible capability, but advances in things like drone technology threaten their ability to operate in the long term. I think we've already reached the point where there aren't any credible opponents to have a big tank battle with.

Technology may be a great equalizer. Between nuclear proliferation and the advent of lots of tiny sensors and computers for low cost, operating a standing army will get difficult.

Whatever happened to shallow learning (or you know the regular learning) everyone did before deep learning.

Deep learning happened, and it pretty much always beats other approaches. Saying that sounds unbelievable, so here's a quote from Pete Warden:

I know I’m a broken record on deep learning, but almost everywhere it’s being applied it’s doing better than techniques that people have been developing for decades[1]

There's a great paper from a group of researchers who set out to prove that their technique, which they had many years of experience in (SVMs?) was just as good as deep learning (I can't remember their field). They ended up proving the opposite, and switched their whole lab over to doing deep learning. I can't find the paper (!!) so I'll refer you to [2] instead.

I have a feeling this is one of those things that happens but just not the way many imagined it would.

Like with Linux and Open Source Software in general becoming popular. Many probably thought open source was going to be this new business model powering software companies. People also probably imagined a Linux-based Desktop distribution was going to become more popular than Windows. Instead hardware and service companies adopted open source software and usually as components as part of a proprietary product. While Linux made it's way through to consumers via a phone OS.

Yet the way these things happened doesn't contradict the prediction in anyway. Just because people added on their own speculation doesn't make what was originally said false.

With that said it's going to happen because the PC as we know it doesn't work in people's lives the way they need it to. It works for programmers, designers and writers perhaps but for everyone else is not the right tool for the job. And it's only a matter of when something more suitable is made.

And In many cases a phone is that but due to some artificial constraints (Flash, Traditional website design, and plain old device discrimination) it's not always up to the task.
>At least 50 Americans have been seriously injured, maimed or killed by flashbangs since 2000

I was surprised to see this statistic included. It really makes this issue seem less significant and does not help the argument being made. This means a little over 3 people per year injured or worse. Probably less than 1 death per year. By comparison, vending machines alone kill over a dozen people each year. Was this supposed to say, "we located over 50 people", and not intended to be put forward as a statistic?

The sheepskin effect doesn't directly measure the effect of having a degree vs having exactly the same experience/education but no degree. This is because the person who gets the degree after 4 years might on average have worked a lot harder, and learned a lot more than the person who studies for 4 years but doesn't get the degree.

The Tanenbaum-Torvalds Debate (1999)
First is the issue of safety, which many others have talked about here. Sometimes a bolt is the only way.

Second is the fact that sometimes a bolt is actually the lesser impact. Bolts last a pretty long time, and if a route is highly traveled, the bolt can help offload what would have been gradual damage to the rock, flora, and fauna.

For example, if you have six climbing parties a day rappelling off a tree at the end of the climb, that tree is going to sustain damage over time. A bolt placed nearby can serve the same duty easier, safer, and with less impact to the tree.

To draw on other recreation, have you noticed stairs on hiking trails? A popular trail can experience so much erosion on steep sections that something so blatantly "leaving a trace" as installing stairs is actually the lower impact choice.
I think you've hit it - this First Free Ascent set a benchmark. Others - maybe '001sky - can improve upon their time.

For example, a much easier, more popular route - The Nose - wast first free climbed by Lynn Hill in 1993 in four days, in 1994 she re-did it in 23 hours, in 2005 Tommy Caldwell and his then wife did it in four days and two days later Caldwell did it by himself in 12 hours. The time required has been falling since with Alex Honnold and Hans Florine, making the current record ascent in 2:23.46 on June 17, 2012.

These guys bagged the First Free ascent of a much harder route. Surely others will attempt to free the Dawn Wall and may do it in less time. It remains to be seen if it's humanly possible to do something this difficult in under a day.

there is a bit of a winner take all here and a race to the bottom (meaning highest cost way of accomplishing the service)

It's true that the fastest arbitrageur takes most of the profit, but when we say the cost is going up (i.e. the "arms race"), that means a bigger chunk of the arb profits (which are basically fixed, regardless of cost) are going to network providers, NIC vendors, FPGA vendors, and so forth. The costs to investors are coming down as the chances of buying a mispriced instrument become smaller and smaller.
I can tell you haven't much in the way of combat experience. All of these things you've read online or in a FM somewhere go totally out the window in combat. All of these things you're talking about are completely in the land of theory when people are trying to kill you and vice versa. On two of my three combat tours in the infantry I spent most of the time kicking in doors, zip-tying people to themselves, and tossing a hood over their heads. And that was when they weren't trying to fight. The real world is far too chaotic and fast for the games you are talking about playing. You know I once had to clear the first three stories of an office building between myself and two other guys. There were a stupid amount of rooms. We cleared upwards of thirty rooms because of one smartass firing down from the top floor. All those Youtube videos you're quoting are meaningless in a situation like that.

Sure thing, the first number (5) is the class of climb. A sidewalk would be 1; rock climbing begins (and ends) at 5.

The second number reflects the difficulty of the [hardest part of the] climb. I believe it originally went from 1-10, with 10 being the hardest thing a human could climb, but innovations in climbing shoes and better climbers have raised the max over the years, so now it goes from 1-15.

Imagine the scale as being of exponential difficulty. For the same climber who spent a week going from 5.5 to 5.6, it may take a year to go from 5.10 to 5.11. So you can imagine how elite a 5.14 climber is, let alone a 5.15 one.

That one isn't the greatest example of what I was trying to say. While I avoid additives I don't really often suggest to other people that they do.

My perspective is that additives are nutritionally neutral at best, and many may be mildly harmful. So, given the choice I don't consume them. If I'm shopping I would prefer something like butter vs Blue Bonnet margarine. I don't feel convinced of the safety of chemicals like Yellow #5, and if I need for my food to be fluorescent yellow for some reason, would prefer turmeric. I consider whole foods to be better tested over time for human health than a semi-synthetic concoction.

As you say, generally the presence of synthetic colors and presevatives tells me the manufacturer has the wrong priorities (cost and surface presentation vs flavor, freshness or nutrition).

An example of food I shun is the typical grocery store tortilla. Most are loaded with presevatives so they can last on the shelves for months, which gives them a bitter taste. When I compare one of those brands, with 10-15 ingredients, most of which aren't technically food, to what I'd call normal tortilla with 4 ingredients, all of which are something someone would have in their own kitchen, and it's clear the simple tortilla wins in every way but shelf life. Since I consume my tortillas within a couple of days and am willing to keep them in the refrigerator, presevatives enhancing shelf life benefits the manufacturer and distributors, but fails to benefit me in terms of flavor and possible negative nutritional effects.

As a developer you might find jails useful. I use them to create multiple isolated 'virtual machines' on the same machine. In each one I can install a different set of packages and I like the my base system in clean. With zfs, I also snapshot each jail before major changes so rollback is easy. Try this and see how easy, well-integrated it is as opposed to something similar on linux.

I use ezjail, btw.
When you click a button on your mobile web browser, if you're a Verizon customer, advertisers see a special tag assigned to you by Verizon. Since Verizon assigned you the tag, they can give you the same tag on every website. Advertisers have ads on many websites, so they can see the tag and match your browsing history to their logs. In effect, because of the tracking tag Verizon assigns to you, any advertisement you see can track who you are and where you've been.

Apparently News Corp no longer owns MySpace. From near the top of the article:

"It’s been nearly a decade since News Corp acquired the company for $580 million and roughly three and a half years since the media company sold the fading property for $35 million to the Internet ad company Specific Media."
I'm not, but I live here.
What browsers does this work in? I tried it in both Firefox and Chrome and neither showed anything other than a black screen.
I'm pretty certain the article goes on to say that it was sold from News Corp 3 years ago to another advertising company. So News Corp hasn't owned it for a while.

Cyanogen supports such permissions with Privacy Guard (formerly App Ops).
I have no idea, only noticed the recurring trend being described in the article. One thing we do know is nuclear weapons on its own is not sufficient to prevent the condition of warlords and private armies from appearing - Pakistan possesses nuclear weapons yet in the north of the country, tribes and warlords abound.

US interference (incompetent due to corruption and graft?) in Middle Eastern politics allowed ISIS, a warlord-like state, to capture high-cost support and weapons systems and used them successfully against the Iraqi government, a government whose army was less than competent due to the corruption within. The Iraqi government is backed by a country with nuclear weapons and missiles and drones and fighter jets, and yet ISIS persists.

Many US departments are being militarised, from the police to the IRS[1] to the Department of Education[2] to the Environmental Protection Agency[3] and the USDA[4]. I wonder if it's because many in the government itself see militarisation as a necessary reaction to the threat of private weapons, which as you can read in the article is an re-emerging trend. If nuclear weapons and missiles and carriers and drone strikes are sufficient to prevent the US government from being ousted, why is it busy acquiring conventional weapons? If the US government is relying on conventional weapons to hold off the tide of the privately armed, can mere conventional weapons be enough to cause it's --censored--?
