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 bia

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 unbeliev

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 It was all about entailment and modal logics and frankly seemed really out of date.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.

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

The translator for volume 1 and 3 addressed this in an AMA, actually. https://www.reddit.com/r/SF_Book_Club/comments/30xhj0/three_... I enjoyed the 3 books. After reading the first one I was intrigued bu

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.

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 c

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!

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?

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.

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 o
