I don't look at these studies with the same eyes I did as a young man. I have been lied to just too many times. No, I'm not throwing the baby out with the bath water, but I am so much more skeptical than I was 15 years ago.

"Years ago, we learned about the health risks of saturated fats and moved away from them."

Yes, we "learned" about a lot of things over the years, and vilified the product to the point of absurdity. 'I can smell my neighbor's cigarette smoke--I will get cancer, or COPD?'. My cholesterol is high--I must take statins?.' 'I think I'm depressed--I must get a prescription of a hetero, or tri-cyclic antidepressant?' 'I'm a vegetarian; I must be healthy? Give me a wheel of that blue cheese, I hear it has penicillin in it, and I can eat it because I don't eat red meat!'

I don't know where the truth lies, and follow most recommendations, and trans fats are probally terrible; I just question these scientific, peer reviewed, doulble blind studies. I don't just call it Science anymore, and they know best. I look at all these studies with an air of skepticism that wasn't in me when I got out of college.

When a doctor, or nutritionist relays some information; I do my homework before accepting the advise as a universal truth.
OmniFocus 2 is $39.99 on iPhone and very popular. Their suite is $149.99.
We'd look at TBB at a previous gig for something similar. However we never ending up pursuing it for unrelated reasons.
Well if you always end up being right are you not becoming more confident in your assertions?
I'm from the UK and have started weighing myself in kilograms.

Makes more sense now that I'm used to it.
Dude should have used a password manager. Or maybe just a new password.

Also, the Cards staff probably shouldn't have logged in from home.

Also, how on Earth is this a valid use of the FBI's resources? Fix your broken crap yourselves, Astros.
>I know powerlifters who are deadlifting hundreds of lbs, and they only consume a vegan plant-based diet (google "vegan powerlifting").

I am a powerlifter and deadlifting hundreds of pounds is vague. How many hundreds? A couple hundred? Not very impressive. Five hundred? More impressive. I also have an anecdote but it disproves what you said: I don't know a single powerlifter who can pull five plates who doesn't eat animal meat. Also anecdotes on the internet mean nothing.

>Animal proteins are an inefficient method of consuming nutrients.

It may be inefficient from an energy usage standpoint, but from a protein synthesis standpoint it's vastly superior. Plant protein doesn't have the amounts of amino acids animal protein does.
Yeah it is, Robert Graham gave a great talk about it over at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D09jdbS6oSI with a writeup at http://c10m.robertgraham.com/2013/02/c10m-in-1990s.html
People are also forgetting that the time spent writing an app in your free time is "fun", or should be. I program in my free time for fun, getting paid after the fact is gravy. Getting paid $6600 for 30 hours of fun time (or so he says) is awesome.
I always struggle with this. On the one hand, advertising used iPhones after searching for "used iPhone" is the most relevant of relevant advertising. It presents information that's actually interesting and useful. If we are sitting around acknowledging that we're hitching our wagons to ad revenue, this is what everybody wants.

On the other hand, those ads might be burying a search result that offers a better, cheaper, or more reputable place to buy that used iPhone. This is a win for the advertiser since the game is influencing behavior, but that consumer might kick themselves for missing a better alternative because the ads were in the way. This reality subverts the ideal mission of an Internet search engine: to return the most relevant and interesting result first. It's not as if Google hasn't been working hard since its inception to improve this, too.

Disclosure: I work for a company that makes (almost) all of its money from ad sales.
I have actually done exactly that. Twice. If I can do it, anyone can.
I am really broke and have a lot of debt. I need a myemail@mydomain.com and all of them cost money. I have ~$250 Digital Ocean credit so I have free VPS. Also, seems like a good way to learn, although it might not be worth it as this problem has really been solved well.

edit: thanks for the information though. I saw some of these services when i was doing cursory research. This was pretty helpful.
If you register for flat rate VAT you will (most likely) actually take home slightly more money however, so it's worth doing.
Again, an incorrect assertion of the motives of climate change sceptics. I may as well say that pro-Climate Change people are not convinced about the science but like the side-effects it may have on global inequality.
Here's how they did it:

"Investigators believe Cardinals officials, concerned that Mr. Luhnow had taken their idea and proprietary baseball information to the Astros, examined a master list of passwords used by Mr. Luhnow and the other officials who had joined the Astros when they worked for the Cardinals. The Cardinals officials are believed to have used those passwords to gain access to the Astros’ network, law enforcement officials said."
I'm skeptical of Japan and Singapore where the same party always wins.

Singapore is a de-facto one party state where it is notable when an opposition party wins any seats whatsoever in the legislature. Three of Japan's last four prime ministers were from the Democratic Party of Japan, which is not the Liberal Democratic Party, which is the "same party" you're thinking of. The Japanese government, for all its numerous faults, runs hotly contested elections on a more-than-regular basis which can, and do, result in "voting the bums out."

Whether they have "democratic efficacy" is a bit more of an open question -- some observers of Japanese politics might opine that it is a rare, rare Japanese government where the legislature or prime minister exercise proximate control of the levers of sociopolitical power.
Not quite that simple, unfortunately. You can only claim it back on large expenditures if you're on the fixed-rate scheme (I think that's what it's called). Computer equipment is the prime one, but it has to be over £2K in a single spend.

AFAICT most VAT on everyday expenses doesn't come back to you.

OTOH you can charge the company for your lunch every day, which means you get that paid for before corporation tax, income tax or anything else...
I don't think that's it. He says he tends to arrive at right answers after long and careful thought while people around him jump into conclusions and force them forward.
I think that view of saturated fats is falling out of favour.

As long as Apple continues to take 30% I'm not so sure thats true. Mobile devs put up with it because it's that or nothing but as long as Apple allows you to side load programs on Mac I can't imagine it'll ever make economic sense.
I believe those are different from the submitted article. The submitted article interviews a man who was never diagnosed or treated for Lyme disease until 20 years after he contracted it. After he was treated, his symptoms went away. (Except for his heart issues, which were permanent because over the course of the disease, his heart had developed significant scar tissue.)

Those studies are about people who have been diagnosed, treated, and then continue to experience symptoms. The background from the first paper:

It is controversial whether prolonged antibiotic treatment is effective for patients in whom symptoms persist after the recommended antibiotic treatment for acute Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is real and uncontroversial. What is controversial is that if there is such a thing as a chronic Lyme disease that persists after the initial antibiotic treatment. The current scientific evidence is against such a thing.

Theres a lot out there on starting your own business in the USA. The US tax gotcha that is similar to VAT is quarterly payroll and income tax on your NET income. People get several $10Ks behind on taxes, especially the doubled social security part, and could be penalized by the IRS.
There is a project "Kerlnel" http://kerlnel.org/ that is supposed to be Erlang instance running on bare metal. Site appears to be down and the Github https://github.com/kerlnel hasn't been touched since 2013. Then there is http://erlangonxen.org/ which puts Erlang on top of Xen instead of another operating system.
Take the Migraine Out of Office 365 Migrations
I'm a similar way in that I don't like to say something unless I'm pretty sure of it. When the loud, boisterous, assertive types try to push something on me I'll either question them a lot to test the depth of their knowledge or I'll just flat out tell them, "I'm not able to evaluate what you're saying since I don't know anything about it." When said with a bit of edge it's a great conversation stopper ;)
The thing I've found most interesting is this guy has found success by whining about how little he's selling. This has to be the third or fourth separate news source where I've seen this story run.
You have to alter the rules of the game to match your playing style. If you need to slowly deliberate over an issue for example, then don't agree to anything just because you feel outwitted in the moment. You can always buy time by saying something like: "that's a great a point, give me an hour to think about its broader implications."
Sure seq is OK, but jot does everything seq does and more, so I prefer jot.

Yes. If opening a webpage downloaded a script that permanently altered the browser adding or removing functionality without explicit user intervention or consent it would be a security incident. There is even a class of scripts that warrants a special name because of this exactly behaviour: malware.

Considering the more general case of scripts being downloaded and executed in the browser (javascript, for instance) the more apt analogy would be one being downloaded and executed in a system with NoScript installed.

Just like NoScript is a tool that gives its users the power to decide on a case by case basis which scripts are executed by the browser, Debian is a tool that gives its users the power to decide on a case by case basis which closed source binaries are executed by their system.

Preventing this choice in this context is a security incident.
What I typically do is start "leading the witness" by asking genuinely objective questions.

Genuine is the key there. You can never beat a boisterous person by being a prick with belittling or subjective questions. However, if you stick with concrete questions and examples then I have found it tends to disarm overly confident people!

This typically does two things: it exposes any subjective thoughts that have led them to being overconfident about the issue at hand and it actually helps to foster a relationship between them and myself bc it shows that I am legitimately trying to understand where they are coming from.

Go figure. The store limit app developers so much that a lot of otherwise useful software is being sold outside it.

A high profile example of that is: https://blog.sourcetreeapp.com/2012/02/16/abandoning-the-mac...
But isn't the blacklist you link to in the article specifically for queued TRIM? E.g. https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/9a9324d. SO either that blacklist has nothing to do with this issue (in which case it probably shouldn't be linked from the article), or it does, and we're talking about issues with queued TRIM.
Mind sharing? I didn't see apps on your site.
Humans are prone to the irrational assumption that fault is a rivalrous good, so everything must be the fault of A xor B.

It seems to me the evidence supports the conclusion that communism is a miserable failure and the idiotic policy of trade sanctions and other forms of antagonism makes an already bad situation considerably worse.
Three good dressings
I absolutely agree, when you and I were growing up on the internet, it was an obviously safe space because the norm was pseudonyms and anonymity.

Now it's all about tying everything you say to your full name and current living address so it can follow you around for the rest of your life as a permanent record. Kids can do serious harm to their future selves by acting like the self absorbed little shits that we all once were.

The public view is that staying anonymous is some kind of "protection for criminals". It's very difficult to explain that it's "protection for your child". In my view, this pressure to publicly identify is a huge problem online.
Other recommendations of accountants with decent online systems would be greatly appreciated. My current ones (Nixon Williams) seem fairly good as accountants, but the spreadsheet based expenses (and having to use email to take dividends, check profit/loss, etc) are getting quite annoying, and they want to charge extra to use their registered address rather than my own, which leaves a bit of a bad taste when Crunch include this.

I have heard good things about Crunch's system but some mixed things about the quality of their advice and how pro-active they are - any other feedback on them or others?

The point about the registered address and fraud is a real one, someone I worked with had this happen to them - will Crunch act as the service address as well as the registered address?
Two that jump immediately to mind:

* Constructions like CTR need to divide the block, in CTR's case to hold both a counter and a nonce. The convention is to use half the block for the nonce and half for the counter, which, in an 8-byte block, means you're working with a 32 bit nonce (much too small) and a 32 bit counter. We actually broke an embedded system that, because of protocol headroom issues, used small counters for CTR mode.

* (Related) That issue more or less rules out all the modern AEAD modes, all of which are specified on 16+-byte blocks, for that reason.

* The smaller block size makes malleability attacks easier. For instance, when you're bitflipping CBC, the edits scramble a block and alter the next. With an 8 byte block, you have much more control over what gets scrambled and what gets edited.

A joke answer and a serious question:

A: "Use BSD"

Q: Why is there such a strong focus on trying to get Linux network performance when (I think) everyone agrees BSD is better at networking? What does Linux offer beyond the network that BSD doesn't when it comes to applications that demand the fastest networks?

Yeah, if you have no expectations at all of getting paid (like, say, Wozniak), a check is a very good surprise. However, since you are jumping through the hoops to get your app approved, you are expecting (or hoping) to get paid to some degree.
I am really excited about this whole initiative. Mostly because encryption should really be standard at this point if not for the hurdles one has to face in deploying it.

What type of help is the Let's Encrypt team still needing?
>> I am always careful not to argue for/against something unless I am absolutely certain.

You have got to stop doing that. Argue for something then make it certain. If it's wrong, admit it and move on. Get better about estimating the rightness of things. But if you ever want to be in control, you really need to drive conversations, and you don't do that by arguing from a standpoint of certainty.
Articles about hoaxes need to meet same notability standards as other Wikipedia articles. If other newspapers write widely about the Gadyukin article and it becomes a famous example, then an article about it will presumably be created.

Netflix in the US may have a lot of streaming content (movies, especially) relative to their streaming competitors but they have very little streaming relative to all the movies and TV shows that have ever been made. Compare their streaming offerings to their disc offerings and you will find very little of what's on disc is also available streaming.
Secession had been a topic of politics in the South for decades, and was was unpopular for a long time. After the South Carolina Fire-Eaters forced the issue in 1861, a wave of secession fever swept the South. Most seceding legislatures passed secession with large majorities, except for edge cases like Kentucky (where the state government rejected secession then basically collapsed).

None of this was democratic, of course, because many Southern states had large black majorities. IIRC, More than 80% of Mississippi and 65% of South Carolina, by population, was black. Nearly all those people were enslaved and/or disenfranchised. These were not nations of the people, but states run by and for the slaveowners. The only reason that contemporary Southern states had a majority-white population is because the wave of state terrorism and terroristic violence caused a massive exodus of black Southerners, the Great Migration.
Amazing collection of animations though. It was epic back in the day.
They do all the annoying paperwork for you at the registration service like the initial transfer of directors capital and appointments and crap like that. It's worth it.

IR35 is the only PITA IMHO of doing all this and that's easily sorted by doing the odd phone/laptop repair at the same time and invoicing it.
The End of the Fortress Metaphor
I use an accountant that is "Freeagent Compatible". I'd suggest having a look at the list on the Freeagent website (http://www.freeagent.com/).
The distinction lies in the difference between being confident and acting confident.
Some things cannot be monetized. Such as content. What I'm getting at is what is your strategy to fight competitors and copyright violators who prefer to operate at a lower price, such as free? Especially in an era where everything gets cheaper over time, hosting, storage, bandwidth, etc?

If you can't monetize content, monetize verbs / activities / actions. So kickstarter-ize it? This author will not upload until $100 of total donations or $1 or $1K or whatever. Of which the middleman gets a cut of maybe 10% or whatever.
There's no magic bullet for confidence. You can try faking it till you make it. Ultimately good work will lead to confidence. If a bunch of boisterous sales guys were constantly "alphaing" me with erroneous solutions and I knew with some thought I could come up with something better I know I would start to gain confidence through that process.
You've read an awful lot into that comment that wasn't there. As the original comment points out, in the period from WW2 to 1987 South Korea was also a dictatorship. The early industrial development was state-owned industry.

Neither North nor South Korea had endogenous political development, and indeed North Korea is the last holdout of Soviet-style centralised power while South Korea has been heavily influenced by the US in is development. You might say it's been a "brutal success"; it has the economic development and seemingly everyone gets fed, but lacks political freedom. The US had a seemingly positive influence that was not available to North Korea; this is not a case of the US's "fault", not a result of active sabotage (unlike several countries in South America).

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-19697171

"Behind the stellar growth were sacrifices by workers who suffered under a repressive labour environment," she said.

"Behind the efforts for national security to protect (ourselves) from North Korea were human rights abuses committed by state power."
It's not just a matter of time and resistance to change. Two things that would need to change because they break the expectations of how software has always worked:

1) Upgrade pricing. At best you'll get convoluted instructions on how you can obtain an upgraded version: http://www.barebones.com/store/bbedit_MAS_upgrade.html
https://support.omnigroup.com/omnifocus-2-upgrades/

In many cases, you can't go back and forth (bought on website, bought v. 2 on MAS), so you're expecting people to understand that it's a "different" version - imagine if you had to explain that because you bought the Best Buy XBox One, you can't play games purchased at Wal-Mart.

2) Sandboxing. If users are going to pay anything near full price for something they expect full functionality.

Due to these headaches, publishers are abandoning the App Store:

http://www.panic.com/blog/coda-2-5-and-the-mac-app-store/

Personally I wish the MAS was a better solution for the reasons you described (I have purchased a good amount of software there)
You seem to misconstrue me.

C / C++ are very good languages in all sorts of ways. However, there are components that currently have... flaws. This being one of them. As such, I complain about said flaws, in the hopes that someone will take notice, and/or someone will point me in the direction of things that contain the good parts of C / C++ without said flaws.

I have already learned a fair bit about bounds checking, SIMD instructions, etc, etc from this. And I always want to know more.

*

And no, it is the same problem. Namely, that the memory models of C and C++ doesn't match with the underlying hardware, and the mismatch is such that things that are trivial to do on the underlying hardware are literally impossible to do with C and C++.

Part of this is for compatibility purposes, but there are ways to keep the compatibility that don't present this sort of problem.
