Being high in cholesterol doesn't necessarily mean they need to be omitted. Look up Japanese egg consumption & see the country's relative good health.

Everything seems to be 'dipping' including bootstrap and others. Seems like an npm glitch?

Nuclear power may be kicking the can down the road, but burning coal is just leaving the can for our immediate offspring already in their 20s and 30s.

The article says least-cost, we're fresh out of perfect solutions.

In the post-trump era, right wing complaints against an organisation aren't necessarily a sign that that organisation is doing a good thing. Complaints from the factions in power in the UK at the moment are usually just a sign that their actions 'arent right enough' rather than not being right wing full stop.

Also, the BBC News wing has separate management, some of whom were appointed during Cameron's time in office. So the drama and comedy produced by the BBC can be independent of its news editing.

What a strange comment.

Do you think she's an actor and/or wrong for trying to make a stand and make people think about reducing carbon emissions?

Also, I think going straight to the 'oh, well clearly she thinks everyone needs to sail a yacht instead of flying now' route is a bit childish. All you need to do is think for a second and reduce where you can, which obviously the BBC didn't do here.

Yes, there's a big difference between riding the zeitgeist and actually influencing it.

There is something oddly nice about an older person saying "Oh, just like Sheldon!" (or sometimes Moss from the IT Crowd) if I mention dungeons and dragons or online games.

It might be a very simplified and / or exploitative version of nerd culture but at least there's an instant point of reference for us both.

Apparently modesty isn't that heritable. If you think the world's problems are going to be solved by your one wunderkind, rather than investing time and money in the already considerable number of intelligent people on the planet who are lacking opportunity, then clearly your genes aren't all that valuable.

We have enough people and our gene pool isn't diverse enough to make any one person invaluable to the future of the planet.

This seems really dumb to me. There are still plenty of people who use cash (old and young) and ATMs installed by super markets and banks cost almost nothing to run and only generate value for the installer by increasing the chance people will spend money in their store. If they had said '50-100 years' I would say it's sensible, 'a decade' is click-bait. Also why are we linking Daily Mail articles on hacker news?

The key word you used here is "probably". No-one will ever know because he was vaporized before anyone got a chance to assess the situation. This is why we have trials.

The trouble with blowing a hole in the tube somewhere to re-pressurise is that whatever is inside the hole is hit by a wall of air travelling somewhere around the speed of sound. There are a LOT of problems with hyperloop not limited to someone walking up to the tube and shooting it with a .50 Desert Eagle, earthquakes, and the expansion and contraction of the tube as the sun rises and sets.

It's definitely the most unlikely of Elon Musk's plans.

You say eating healthier, but obesity and diabetes are at all time highs in most of the western world, I don't think it's that cut and dry.

Yes, I think you're right, it's probably better to be known for your 1 or 2 high quality hits and take a few losses overall, than to be known for low quality shows.

That on top of the fact they can use data to minimise the risk must mean it's a realistic option.

I thought this number seemed absolutely nuts to begin with, but actually, given their ~100 million subscribers, it's pretty much inline with what the BBC might spend in the same sort of set up.

As an observer, what still seems odd to me is the low number of shows or movies they are producing with that massive budget - last year "The Get Down" apparently cost $16 million per episode while the entire, huge hit, first season of "Stranger Things" cost $13 million.

I would have thought that would inspire them to look for more of these low budget, low risk, big payoff shows, especially when you run a subscription service - surely a series that people binge over 2 weeks, with the potential for more seasons to keep people subscribing is better for you than a one time film? Nope, $100 Million on a single film this year.

Is there any way to actually measure this? Not the bounce rate of women leaving, but the reasons they do. You say it's the 'toxic culture' but is there any metric to measure it?

We need some sort of exit poll data for people leaving the tech industry if that exists. We've seen the data for women giving up after receiving fewer rejections than men, but to my knowledge any accusations of toxicity are purely anecdotal.
