These studies are conducted using nutrition surveys typically given out every year (or five) asking the subject about their eating habits over the last period.

They are notoriously bad data, and also do not account for the healthy user bias (or the inverse effect).

Of course that doesn't seem to stop researchers from using them to tease out extremely small effect sizes

This looks great! In a similar vein - does anyone know of a project that will allow for a Django shell in the browser?

I know Jupyter exists - but a solution like this with the permissions would be valuable.

I think a city level would be great, and interesting. Looking at national numbers misses a lot. For example, Canada and the USA are very similar.

However, I live in Vancouver, and when I went to Chicago last year, the tap water was unbelievably bad (tasting). Even the complimentary bottled water in my hotel was bad.

Hey, Bill Wadge was a prof of mine! It was a topics in Artificial Intelligence course just before the Deep Learning boom. It was all about entailment and modal logics and frankly seemed really out of date. It was interesting, however.

Great project, but pretty old now.

You consider networking to find a new job unethical?

They just solved the murder of a child near my house using a technique like this.

My understanding is they asked everyone they could find in a specific ethnic community if they would volunteer a sample for a kind of dna dragnet.

The killer was related to one of the many people sampled.

The translator for volume 1 and 3 addressed this in an AMA, actually.

I enjoyed the 3 books. After reading the first one I was intrigued but it didn't blow me away. After reading all of them I am very appreciative of the epic scope, and while the it seemed to have less character development, the ideas more than made up for it.

And thankfully it sound slike Translink has learned from the mistakes of making the Canada Line platform so short - it was mentioned as something that must not happen for the Broadway extension.

takes me back!

TIL! I am on the Canadian version with even less content, and there's no way I can keep up with the Netflix content, let alone the 3rd party content.

Which is funny because they were actually dabbling in some AI/ML.

I always thought it was funny seeing this in California. Coffee? Getting a bit surreal.

I was visiting once and saw a plaque on a (condo?) building with the warning.

It's fantastic, but it takes a lot of memory to generate a private transaction (no mobile wallets for that!) and because private addresses are opt in, not many are being used in the wild

Build out has happened in Vancouver, and it really needs to focus on building up instead. Pushing working people into neighbouring communities in the metro area isn't the worst, but it's drifting farther and farther out. Whereas closer cities already had their own communities, I feel like too many people are flocking to towns that have no reason to exist other than their (relative) proximity to Vancouver.

I have multiple years of experience writing production Python code - is this book for me(new to 3)? Or is it more generally aimed at new programmers. Cheers!

Seriously, was there this much politiking for infighting when people proposed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model.

For UX this would be nice. However, many applications that encrypt locally (like KeePass, etc.) perform key stretching, which would make this take quite a long time.

This may not be the place for it, but: what's the deal with Uber not rolling out in Western Canada? I know the government hates them, but didn't they launch illegally like...everywhere else?

This sounds like a really interesting project, I reached out at the link below.

Wow, the author has a huge chip on their shoulder when it comes to cryptocurrency. Also, how is Gawker still in business?

I guess this is why we have people like Satoshi, and now the MimbleWimble(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XiUGu48JTd0) team all working under Potter-esque pseudonyms

Wow. I realize this is about prescription Fentanyl, but my area (Vancouver BC) is getting hit really, really hard by this drug.

It seems to have made it's way into a variety of drugs, not just heroin, so the demographic of those affected by the deaths has shifted from "junkie" to "recreational user".

Is there really only a single configuration available in Canada?

Is there only a single configuration available in Canada? Some of the higher tier models sound really nice but the model available in Canada has exactly the same specs as my 5 year old Thinkpad.

Those cultural ties practically already are stronger. Living on the west coast of Canada I really feel that - to the south we have Washington, Oregon, California.

I agree the imagery is not helpful. However, these privacy preserving tools are very important for digital currency.

Currently, if you receive money it is possible to trace it back to some event, be it a theft, or funds used in some legal or moral grey area.

While these tools will make it easier to launder money, they will remove this "taint".

It is possible and likely that governments will attempt to censor transactions using these "tainted" funds, seriously damaging fungibility.

Many believe that for digital currency to succeed, it must be fungible - the title of the Bitcoin whitepaper is "Bitcoin: A Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System".

Not feeling obligated to tip was almost the entire reason I prefer Uber over traditional cab companies in the first place.

Bitcoin Core v0.12.0 was just released.

From the release notes,

  Starting with Tor version 0.2.7.1 it is possible, through Tor's control socket API, to create and destroy 'ephemeral' hidden services programmatically. Bitcoin Core has been updated to make use of this.

  This means that if Tor is running (and proper authorization is available), Bitcoin Core automatically creates a hidden service to listen on, without manual configuration. Bitcoin Core will also use Tor automatically to connect to other .onion nodes if the control socket can be successfully opened. This will positively affect the number of available .onion nodes and their usage.

  This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the -listenonion, -torcontrol and -torpassword settings. To show verbose debugging information, pass -debug=tor
