The serving size for Cheerios is 1 cup. The serving size for Honey Nut Cheerios is 3/4 cup, in order to make it look like the sugar content is "only" 9 grams. It's actually 11 grams, which is amongst the highest of all c

At least we could bring attention to it, public denunciation, sanctions, etc. That would be better than just ignoring it.

Exactly what I was thinking. I have used communication tools such as Discord and Trello, but never Facebook or Twitter. So are they going to believe me when I say I don't use social media? Do I need to start up fake social media accoun

> Snowden’s revelations have hurt the United States’ relations with some allies and slowed the sales of U.S. technology products abroad. So it wasn't the spying that hurt the relations, it was Snowden. Okay. I'll stop reading n

I'm a Safari online subscriber myself, but I think this decision is a huge mistake. I also own books that I purchased from O'Reilly and I still use those books. Just because I don't continue to re-purchase them doesn't m

Exactly this. The screenshot in the article shows two women holding a black flag with writing in a language I assume is Arabic. They don't bother to translate what the flag says. Is all Arabic content extremist now?

That's the point of the article. (You have to read the whole thing to get to it though.) Instead of decorating our homes the way we want to live, we started decorating it for resale, even if we had no intention of selling. This was cau

I actually read the whole article. The porn part was an afterthought at the end, but it appears the editor decided to promote that part into the title, because clicks. Music videos and extended use was the actual main culprit. My takeaway i

Most poor people don't understand until it happens to them. At that point it's too late. This is one reason why poor people tend to remain poor.

Because the same people who vote for harsher punishments and pushing costs onto the families of detainees are often only reachable by biblical quotations. If you refuse to talk to people, you're not going to get anywhere. Learning thei

I'm using Firefox too. I found the UI to be bizarre, but the content was so helpful I just tried to ignore it. This site finds a place on my bookmarks bar despite its horrific UI.

Speaking naturally results in the thing doing something completely different from what I wanted. Once that happens a few times, I give up and stop wasting my time. For people like me, without documentation it's just another pile of gar

Exactly, I would take this interview question to mean that this place is so cheap that they won't even invest in a proper database engine for the product to run on. You have to implement the database engine yourself. And that you proba

It doesn't work like Quicken. It's too limited. Won't prevent you from bouncing a check, for one. I keep my Quicken files on Dropbox so they sync just fine. I am also protected from data loss due to versioning. I also like th

Of course the OS catches all your keystrokes. If it didn't, the keyboard wouldn't function. EDIT: Except for BIOS. The keyboard would work in BIOS and that's it.

Microsoft has watched Apple get away with this stuff for years and make billions off of it. Apple doesn't even offer an opt-out on most of it. Microsoft is at a massive competitive disadvantage by not leveraging the knowledge it has ac

But how do you sell judgement? People don't want to hear, "That won't work" type of advice. The culture rewards "I can do the impossible" overconfidence. When you find out the project is harder than you thought
