The Sugar Association acknowledged that it "should have exercised greater transparency in all of its research activities.
Translation: We did it.
However, the trade-group went on to question the UCSF researchers' motives in digging up the issue and reframing the past events to "conveniently align with the currently trending anti-sugar narrative."

Hey, guy who is 6'2" and weights 250 pounds. I didn't see you? Because you're eclipsing my office light. I just wanted to say, I really liked the way you suplexed that guy into the radiator last week. Made. My. Day. Oh, your weight? It's perfect! You know, not everybody could have ripped that toilet out of it's moorings like that. Yes, I know that loud flush was very startling.
Precisely. A talking llama from the the UN once told me that they know how to defeat climate change AND poverty, and that everyone has already agreed to the plan. Not sure why we're still talking about this as if it's some sort of issue.
I mean, I was going to install solar panels, but now it seems like there's no point?
There already was a contest for a new Firefox logo. This one was the winner. Why not continue on in that theme and have the mozilla dinosaur head encased in a glacier or something?
You could stare into its dead eyes and relive memories of a once glorious past.
so much of what is said about him is bafflingly untrue. And that just makes his supporters more rabid, because now they have evidence that what he's saying - the media is a collusion, they're covering things up, he's an outsider who will change things - is true.
"Things" huh? So why is it that when I look at YouTube news clips, I can see both the terribly stupid, harmful things Trump is saying, along with his defense of those things?
How could those clips possibly be taken out of context? In each one, Trumps message is appallingly clear. With stuff like this, what could the media possibly make up that is worse?
But web browsers desperately need a better way to run code than turning it into JS - something like LLVM bitcode that can be compiled and run at near-native speeds instead of the crappy 2-10x slower JS.
All I know is my cutting edge desktop doesn't have the horsepower to run their Kings Quest II. Judging by the roughly 1 frame per 5 seconds, I'd say my machine needs to be about 150 times faster. Maybe I'll try again in 20 years or so?
The consumer desktop is Microsoft's huge success story. Why degrade that experience? There are already goddamned ads in the user's start menus, plus remnants of the hated Windows 8.1 interface, plus massive privacy issues, plus strong-armed updates being forced down people's throats... I mean, what is this? It's like they're taking their productive, flagship product and doing everything they can to turn it into an annoying toy.
When you DIY that trailer hitch and something goes wrong due to the installation causing injury to others, can you held liable to a further degree because of the unauthorized/non-certified installation?
If you cook a plate of food and someone spills it on themselves and gets burned, can you be held liable because it wasn't made by a certified chef?
John Deere isn't stopping you from fixing your own tractor because they're worried about your well being in case you might be held liable for some accident. They're doing it so that they can rip you off. Any manufacturer of machinery, of any kind, would drool over this kind of captive audience. Dishwasher breaks down? It's not really yours, so you must pay the Maytag guy whatever he asks to fix it. Upgrade that video card? Dell sues you for not paying them to do it. After all, you could electrocute yourself. And now it's time to upgrade that PC to Windows 10, it's not like you have a choice here...
If this you-don't-really-own-it mentality spreads it would lead to some kind of hideous distopia. Luckily most manufacturers can't get away with it without losing their customers. Yet.
MIT and their graduates have shown their true colours...by bending over and taking it from the fascists in Quantico and Washington, by using their talents and their education to take freedom _away_ from the world rather than give.
What, every single one? They did launch the One Laptop Per Child program, and released 2,000 courses online for free in their OpenCourseWare project. What about the ones who work in the cancer research building? Do they cackle while plotting the downfall of American freedom? Not to mention alumni Richard Feynman, Buzz Aldrin...
Yes, there are people in MIT who work in security, and yes they find and reveal holes in security solutions. Is that somehow different from other Universities? As I recall, there wasn't even any evidence showing that the FBI had actually paid MIT anything.
I know what you mean, but my understanding of corps is that they are required to maximize profits by any legal means necessary. If a Corp deliberately lowers profits due to ethical concerns, or for any orher reason, their stockholders have grounds for legal action.
The cost of running a Nissan Leaf for one year is about $560. No one cares if that's 20% to 50% more expensive with hydrogen. Because you have to replace the batteries every 5 to 10 years anyway, so there's your (tiny) savings gone and then some.
Tech hasn't really changed. He might as well say that shovels don't buy anything, so we're better off digging with our hands. There's actually a name for his kind of thinking: the broken window fallacy.
Rustaceans study the absurd and contradictory Rust Code of Conduct [rust-lang.org], and base their entire existences around it.
So, I read the "code of conduct", and it's just a listing of standard forum rules - no spamming, avoid sexual nicknames, be considerate, etc. After carefully reading your post twice over, I'm guessing you logged in to the Rust forums as "PussyCrusher87" and posted "Rust is for losers!!1!...or something similar. Then, it turned out that people on Rust forums are there because they actually like Rust, and they're still there because they abide by the forum rules.
I know this is a lot to ask, but could you supply your real Rust-forum handle from before you were banned? I'd be interested in seeing how close I am to the mark for self-calibration purposes.
From the wikipedia: Human activity since the Industrial Revolution has increased the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, leading to increased radiative forcing from CO2, methane, tropospheric ozone, CFCs and nitrous oxide. According to work published in 2007, the concentrations of CO2 and methane have increased by 36% and 148% respectively since 1750.
Of course, the next step is to claim that the Wikipedia + NASA + all scientists are in some kind of conspiracy to distort the truth according to a left-wing agenda. You may now proceed with this phase.
So you want them to change the GUI for the sake of not letting it stagnate? Reminds me of the old quote: "They call it UX now. It used to be called UI, but after a while everyone knew what that word was and how to use it."
I, for one, would be pretty damned happy if my skills in any given desktop weren't obsolete after 3-5 years. Keeping it the same, now that would be innovation.

Oh, you and your space nutters. Classic 110010001000.
Hey, check this thing out. You plug a USB storage device into it, and it blocks write attempts.
You can find them on Amazon. I've never heard of any of the manufacturers though.
Unless someone starts producing USB flash drives that have a hardware write protect switch that can't be countermanded by software
Those already exist.

odds are you couldn't board a spaceship with a tent and some potatoes and start living there tomorrow as a farmer.
Also, it's very far away.

Yeah, when I get mod points and look for something to mod up, I realize what a wasteland it is. Thank god that doesn't happen very often.
Although I don't recall Slashdot ever being any better in terms of the comments that do get modded up. And usually that's all I care about.
See, it works like this:
Step 1: Intel maker board for $369.
Step 2: Bring the _____ to the market faster than before.
Step 3: Profit!

Barack Obama founded ISIS, and Hillary Clinton co-founded it.

"With the terrorists, you have to take out their families."
Not to mention this disgraceful interview.

C02 monthly mean concentration. Looks like we've gone from about 310 ppm to over 400 ppm.

Wow. This is the first time someone has ever told me to "do the math", and actually had a valid point.
Bravo sir.

Exactly. Might as well say that the makers of foam ear plugs are engaged in censorship.
