Very cool! Are there plans to make it possible to restrict apps via rest API as well?

TSMC should be charging NVDA much more

First one: an interesting study - but it only applies to mice. Currently we just don't know if this applies to humans.

Second one: I haven't read the whole study but they categorize fruit juice which is chock full of sugar along side artificially sweetened drinks - which is a red flag to me. Also, I don't think people who swap sugary drinks for diet drinks and changes no other aspect of their diet will have a better outcome in regards to type 2 diabetes. It doesn't mean that diet sodas contribute or cause type 2 diabetes.

In general I agree - if you're happy eating just fresh food like meat and veggies I'm happy for you - but I cannot, for practicality reasons. I just tend to keep my processed food very low carb - for some examples: I eat a lot of Quest bars (usually 5g net carbs), Lily's has some great stevia sweetened chocolate (http://lilyssweets.com/), and Fat Snax cookies are amazing (https://fatsnax.com/products/cookies).

The author conflates sugar/honey etc (pure carbs - glucose, fructose) and artificial sweeteners like stevia and erythritol which don't have any effect on your blood glucose and really are completely different. I fully agree with the premise of minimizing sugar consumption but I don't think encouraging people to avoid certain artificial sweeteners like stevia etc is helpful - and in fact it's hurting because certain products with these non blood glucose contributing substitutes help people avoid sugar.

Note that although artificial sweeteners like stevia and erythritol don't raise the blood glucose at all and have GI index of zero or near zero - some artificial sweeteners actually do raise blood glucose, like maltitol etc, and these sweeteners are unfortunately often found in sugar-free candy. You can try a web search for "GI index artificial sweeteners" to see a list of sweeteners that have low GI score.

Something else to keep in mind is that over consumption of very carb heavy products like bread or pasta will have the exact same effect on your blood glucose as just eating sugar.

I second the fact that this is crackpot-level science - you can basically only change the acidity of your urine with dietary modifications - not your blood. Btw changing the PH value of your body thing is endorsed by various charlatans for all kinds of stuff - from curing the flu to cancer.

Same thing from most in-app purchase based games.

Anecdotal for sure, but I've been using Bluetooth headphones with my phone for couple of years now. Wouldn't go back. The connection almost never drop and there's no interference. There's no delay because the phone syncs all audio with the bluetooth headphones. I don't see noticable drop in iPhone's battery either. The only annoying thing I've noticed is that sometimes my headphones have run out of battery, but it's not a big deal for me at least.

Awesome! Thank you so much for this :) I've been experimenting with using Echo for home automation (mainly TV/Logitech Harmony related stuff) and this is really, really cool for that. A tangent: Siri on the AppleTV 4th gen was pretty cool until I got Echo - now having to have that remote and press a button seems archaic. Apple and Google will definitely release something similar soon.

Call me crazy but as I understand it from kids today it's pretty cool to be a "nerd" today

Same here, I commute to/from work everyday using Uber and Lyft. These have been my responses from every driver I've asked.

Are you talking about the 2.5% they split with you or are there other ways to save with Redfin?

Communism != socialism. There's much more socialism in the nordic countries then USA for example but they are wealthy, unrestricted internet AND have great socialized healthcare. As with most things it's about finding the right balance rather then choosing one or the other.

The prices are usually tiny as well. Peace is $2.99.

I have a 2 year old and I'm not sure, but she's definitely not ready :) I think we're talking 4-5 year old at least to start introducing the concepts, then I'm guessing 7-9 to start doing some programming.

If you can get the data, you can put it through Promethease.com for $5 and check for markers

I'm thinking he's referring to piracy, as in if you take away streaming with ads people that aren't willing/can't afford to spend $9.99/month for subscription will resort to pirating music.

You can be depressive or mentally ill without wanting to harm yourself or anyone else. Let's not blame the murder of 149 people on depression. The question really is, how to protect against malicious pilots?

Just tried this, DTerm is not playing nice with Zsh and iTerm2 :/

Right sorry, I was reading it as $900 for gold per watch not per ounce!

So with this process it's $450?

The turn radius on my car is abysmal

I don't quite see ConEd getting into Bitcoin mining :) However, it's possible for an entrepreneur to get discount off electricity during non-peak times.

That's really awesome. I'd love an app like that for the human body, electronics and more subjects.

Erm, always killed it? Zune, Surface, Lumia?

I'd say it's Markdown editor with limited LaTeX support but whatever. It's very cool.

This is a either a future vaporware from naïve people or a straight up scam. Either way, I'm betting that before the tech will be good enough for this kind of product the Apple Pay and similar products will be ubiquitous - this is simply a faster horse.

Where is the health data stored? Is it only locally or on iCloud as well? I updated some data in Health app on my iPhone 5S before I got the new iPhone 6, did a backup and restore when I got it and lost all the data I had entered..
