Ensure, like Slimfast, has much more sugar than Soylent.

Per 2000 calories, Ensure has 135g sugar to Soylent's 45g.

I was responding to "There should be no more shame in choosing to default as there would be for choosing to exercise a stock option that causes your counterparty lose all his money." The idea is, if "default" were just a neutral acceptable option then we wouldn't think of it as fraud if you took out a loan that you planned to default on.

I'm pretty sure taking out a loan that you intend to default on is fraud, but making a contract with someone that you expect to be very profitable to you is not.

I've been pretty happy with an Anker 60W for charging my 15" MBP; it doesn't charge as fast as the stock charger, but it's good enough and it's $40 shipped: amazon.com/Anker-Premium-Charger-PowerPort-Delivery/dp/B01D8C6ULO

If a student claims to know what the class would teach, you don't have to take their word for it: you can talk to them, or you can give them a test.

(I skipped the first two intro CS classes in college after talking to the professors and figuring out the right place to start given my background.)

If they're smart they have a model of how they expect a post to behave given who they've shown it to, and show posts more/less widely based on whether it's over/underperforming their prediction.

It sounds like FB is taking the posts that are getting low engagement and cutting them off quicker. This makes a lot of sense!

Aren't generation and consumption very close to equal?

That's what "own" means with houses. You're a "homeowner" after closing, and you are the legal owner of the property, even though you still owe thousands to your bank.

    in 2014 Tokyo built 140,000 homes

This isn't a net gain of 140k homes, but instead 140k "housing starts". In the US this would translate into about 140k new homes, because we normally reuse houses, but in Japan the culture is generally when you buy a house you tear it down and build a new one. So this 140k is a mixture of building new units and replacing old ones.

I remember when this was happening: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blaster_(computer_worm)

Let's say you have:

    OpenSSL:
      foo1():
        bar()

      foo2():
        bar()

    LibreSSL:
      foo1():
        bar()

Then someone realizes foo2 needs to call baz:

        foo2():
          bar()
     +    baz()

This isn't relevant to LibreSSL and so isn't ported: no problem.

Then someone else realizes that the foo2 change should also apply to foo1:

        foo1():
          bar()
     +    baz()

While this patch will apply cleanly to LibreSSL, the idea that after calling bar() you should call baz() is something they figured out in OpenSSL, and is plausibly a derivative work of OpenSSL.

The more copy-and-pasty the change is, the easier it is to be in a situation where a patch that would apply cleanly to pre-fork code would actually be dependent on post-fork code.

How are you going to deal with zoning? Generally the big problem with tiny houses is that while they're relatively cheap to make they're not allowed by existing zoning.

Generally people build BSD packages from source instead of installing binaries. (I think; I've not used BSD.)

When I used to work at Google, making sure things people deleted were completely removed was something people took very seriously. With caches and backups deletions wouldn't be immediately effective everywhere, but it was very important that things people had deleted were, within weeks, really fully gone.

At least with "blaming the proxy owners (such as google) for not cleaning up their mess quickly enough" I think tedivim is probably referring to: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13721644

Maybe Greyball was approved by Uber legal when it was envisioned as a system for excluding bad users (rival companies etc) and then without additional legal review they started using it to exclude suspected law enforcement?

I often run into git hashes places where a programming font wouldn't apply, like URLs and web pages.

How would you rewrite websites to optimize them without parsing untrusted input in the same memory space as sensitive information? The thing you're trying to change (the HTML) can have PII or be otherwise sensitive.

(I used to work on Google's PageSpeed Service, and if it had had the same bug I think we would have been in the same situation as CF is now.)

Still, you could ask employees to specify cut+size instead of just size (inferring cut from their gender). So I'd put down "men's small" or whatever.

What you choose to order at the restaurant is very different from what size or shape you happen to be.

    If labor wasn't needed for many manufacturing jobs,
    then labor wouldn't be used overseas.

For most manufacturing you can either use X hours of human time or $Y of machine time. In many cases, at low overseas wages the human time is cheaper, while at higher US wages the machine time is cheaper.

    red, yellow, green, flashing red, flashing yellow,
    no-turn-left red arrow, no-turn-right red arrow

You forgot flashing green, which does actually exist, at least in MA. You treat it like a green light, but it could go yellow and then red if a pedestrian presses the walk button.

    If you introduce another pipe, that pipe will immediately get saturated.

Not if you price it high enough, which is what makes this all potentially profitable.

    If NYC, Boston, DC, SF, Philly, all have subways, why not LA?

This is really good news. A major worry with driverless cars has been that companies would be harshly punished for accidents, even if there was a dramatic reduction in crashes overall.
