No, there is never new advice. The advice is always the same; eat a traditional diet with lots of fruits, vegetables, fiber, and whole grains, limit sugars, fats, and highly processed foods.
The advice of Doctors Gundry, Perlmutter, and some others is not the same at all. Read their books to find the research.
Most research into diet involves Medical Reductionism, which means the study changes some one thing in the diet and measures what happens. But that's irrelevant (as a way to measure things) because only a substantial change in the diet is actually meaningful. Read the works by doctors Steven Gundry ("Plant Paradox") and David Perl mutter ("The Grain Brain") to understand a meaningful change and read T Colin Campbell ("The China Study" to understand the pernicious effect of medical reductionism. There has been much meaningful research done since 2000, but since the best recommendations involve a serious diet change and *no* drugs lots of researchers and doctors are not interested.
An unknown number of people have special eating needs. Driven, I suspect, by the total revision of what and how food is grown and created over the last 100 years. By needs I mean not hospital, necessarily, but at least discomfort and immune system issues.
The Gluten Free and Paleo Diet consumers are a symptom of this great change. Big Food prefers not to know about any of this as it reflects on *all* their current product lines. Very uncomfortable for grocery stores and more so for restaurants.
it's not going away. I and many others can no longer eat the 'Standard American Diet'. Period.
Decent drivers give a fairly early indication of a turn with small movements of the steering wheel (invisible from outside the car), but plenty of not-so-good drivers will turn the steering wheel left before starting the intended right turn. And you wait till it's clear you have turned to turn on the turn signal that's maybe avoiding a ticket with no improvement in safety. Unless this is really meant for slow city traffic and pedestrians in which case...ok...maybe.
Lets hope the developers of AI read Jonathan Haidt's books on the mind. People without empathy are quite dangerous (some humans totally lack empathy and the consequences are...bad).
Reason alone is not enough to participate in society. Empathy required.
Last night netflix movies would simply get to 20% (of the way to starting the movie) and stop, meaning the movie never actually started. In every case it got to 15% or up to 23% and...no further. I tried several times on each of several movies.
Switched to amazon prime and no delay, fast response, worked fine right away.
I was asking myself how I could check on comcast (the only ISP available here).
It's a TV, so no obvious way to run a speed test on it.
If you believe (as I do) that it is crucial to be reducing carbon emissions you immediately grasp why the subsidies exist. When sufficient sales volumes are achieved the subsidies may not be needed to encourage sales, but can still matter (even if smaller) to push down carbon emissions. (yes, we generate enough electricity to charge our Tesla and more: solar).
When the batteries are poorly managed (as on Leaf) then 2-4 years use can reduce the battery capacity 50%. That large a drop in capacity does not happen to everyone. But it happens. Depends on the use of the vehicle and the temperatures it is used and recharged in. Or so I gather from comments by owners.
But if well managed (as in Tesla) the batteries last a long time.
Our 2014 S had 100% battery capacity after 3 years (we traded it in for a 2017 to get an even bigger battery and more sensors).
In other words, battery life just depends. On stuff.
The notion that Intel even has the capability of producing new fixed CPUs to match other than the latest packaging/pin requirements seems fanciful. In which case we'll just have to live with any slowdown. As buying all new systems is just too expensive.
Strangely enough a couple movie theaters in San Mateo County have cleaned the rugs and the bathrooms and now one can buy a reserved seat on line, so no need to get to the theater early. It seems much more pleasant than a few months ago. Still an annoying experience waiting in a slow line to buy the (unimproved) food though.
Well, higher throughput is surely correct. But the higher speeds (if achieved) of the mass transit are overwhelmed by the interfaces. The waiting time to get on. In SF Bay Area taking transit double or triples the total travel time. I took the train for years but it was clear it was slower...and much safer.
Just set your Tesla (or other modern) adaptive cruise control to, say, five car lengths, and just steer. It is far far easier than having to brake/accelerate and the hardware watches even when the driver has zoned out. No worries about hitting the idiot in front. No worries if someone merges into your lane: the car adapts.
Some folks with no love for the US have been experimenting lately. A recent incident involved corrupting some systems intended to prevent wide-scale power interruptions. One wonders if this was simply a proof-of-concept operation. One hopes this is thoroughly investigated. Not just written off as embarrassing.
As maintainer of a small open source library and program I have benefitted immensely from the efforts of a small number of volunteers running fuzzing programs and using Address Sanitizer to locate bugs in the code I maintain. These volunteers have found bugs and reported them and provided testcases useful for regression testing. I am profoundly grateful to these folks.
ShanghaiBill is right that ears are not necessary for safety as shown by another fact (I claim). Many (most?) modern cars have such good soundproofing that outside noises are imperceptible.
Since the SSN only has 10 digits and there are 300 million citizens it means (ignoring any restrictions on numbers) that one-third of the possible values [and possibly effectively many more] are used up. All you need do if you need an SSN and expect it will not be checked by the Social Security Admin is... guess. And someone will get tagged with that data. With a high probability. That's not good.
Fake scratches (easily removable and changeable) will make this useless in the case of real subversives, though for ordinary folks going about their day it will do whatever the authorities want it to do.
You would think that 100 years of US Government support that the Oil companies could be weaned off of the billions in special tax and other benefits give them every single year. The benefits should go to companies taking us to the 21st century OFF of oil. Such as Tesla and Elon Musk's other ventures. Oops. DL;DR
While Chrysler/Jeep does a poor job of engineering its in-car computer systems (as shown by the film!) that has nothing to do with Tesla. Proper engineering makes ota updates safe from hackers (witness MacOS, Linux, and part of the time, Windows). Just be careful whose stuff you buy.
Since Microsoft bought Skype the Linux support went from fine to out-of-date to
mostly unusable to skype-no-64-bit (so useless). I still have a few dollars credit on skype but
will never use the cash.
I used skype as a way to call numbers outside our landline zone, but now
I just use a mobile phone: the cell signal is just enough better (now) to make
that possible.
1981. Bought biggest Apple ][ with biggest screen and 2 floppy drives and
printer. And visicalc - because it was hard to tell what visicalc really did
from published articles but easy to understand with it on the system.
$5000. Yikes.
This Apple store (an independent) was run on an Apple ][ and
it took 30-40 minutes to get the transaction
entered and the bill calculated and printed. Added C compiler and wrote
a simple nroff and wrote my own Fed/State tax program each year to
do the calculations, 1881-86.

I hope MS does right by linux users, but...I'm sceptical given
the skype experience.

All the crumb (etc) things the introduction mentions seem obvious to anyone who has used a keyboard. If any of it gets a patent...it would be crazy.

Yes Teslas can be, and are, bought outright. We own our Model S.

>> Tesla Model 3 is the better performance and the over the air updates.
Yeah, OTA Updates, so cool. or is it ? Now that's an OTA update : https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

The Discovery Tool from Intel is a Windows executable. So how about the rest of us, Intel? Are our Intel CPUs vulnerable?
