Given how pretty much everyone on the planet drinks Coca Cola, I am surprised that, given the enormous budgets that are spent on research and prevention of serious illnesses, there is no clear and honest (and formally acknowledged) list of the ingredients of Coca Cola. See: https://ift.tt/1RE7VMm If you want to release a medical drug, you need to document - at molecular level - how the drug is built up. In the Netherlands, where I live, people go to expensive supermarkets to buy ecologically sourced meat and vegetables because of a so called chain of trust that no weird ingredients and antibiotics (if meat) have been added to their food. Can someone from the HN community tell me: 1) Why is Coca Cola allowed to sell their beverages (e.g. by the FDA) when there are "secret ingredients"? 2) Have any proper studies been done on the health effects of Coca Cola consumption (not just sugary carbonated drinks)? Do we know how large populations are affected? from Hacker News: F

At one end are single-function npm libraries that led to the left-pad fiasco[1]. At another end are things that you should only be implementing yourself in highly unusual circumstances, such as cryptography libraries. Where on this spectrum do you usually implement the thing yourself, and what is your thought process? What are the costs of importing a library, and how are those costs different for different projects? Are there security risks? What are the benefits? Conversely, what are the costs and benefits of implementing something in-house? Has there ever been a case where you've tried to roll your own and it ended in disaster? Or where you'd wished you'd never added a dependency on some library? [1] https://ift.tt/2l49IBn from Hacker News: Front Page https://ift.tt/2F24uP7 via

I'm a sophomore in college, and feeling pretty bogged down by the not-so-relevant required courses at my school. I love the CS courses but I keep finding myself looking at entry level code monkey jobs and thinking of dropping out. I work part time as a developer right now and I enjoy working far more than doing any of my homework, so this is something that is on my mind a lot. What are some lesser known areas of CS that would be worth studying while I have the chance? I would say the subjects that excite me the most are Machine Learning, p2p tech like IPFS, UX-design, and alternative computer-interface things (like brainwave sensors, VR, and that jawbone thing from MIT that was posted a few weeks back [1]).

Hi HN! We're Ed and Jeremie, the founders of SharpestMinds in YC's W18 batch. We're building a free online community for ML/AI developers through which they can access job opportunities. (You can apply to join it at https://www.sharpestminds.com/members ) We're ML developers from non traditional backgrounds. Ed did a PhD in biological physics, and Jeremie studied quantum optics before dropping out of grad school to work on SharpestMinds. We started looking for ML jobs after school, thinking it shouldn't be too hard to get one. We found to our naive surprise that we fell short on a number of skills that are needed to do good work in industry. You just don't learn much devops in grad school. As a result we decided to build something that would make it easier for ML devs to develop (and discover!) skills they might be missing, and then get their first jobs or internships. From the outset we also wanted to build a community around the process, since looking for you
