Please be aware of the issue of rancidity before taking any fish oil supplements.

Open a capsule of each new batch and smell it. Then put the package in the fridge, and keep it there. Problem solved.

The fridge alleviates many such issues.

I've had fish oil capsules that were packaged under nitrogen, specifically to reduce degradation before sale. But those are not cheap.

There's an obvious conflict of interest with that link. They discuss the rancidity of fish oil and then pitch their own fish oil product. I've heard rancidity of fish oil discussed before. It seems like a reasonable thing to be concerned with, but I'd like to see an impartial, scientific discussion.

I like Coromega brand because it can't become rancid. The oil is sealed in an air tight packet until you consume it.

Would you want to fly in a hacked together MVP plane released to production? A similarly made bike in a park? Maybe.

I wouldn't today, but the wright brothers did, because if they hadn't, someone else would've done it instead. If you wanted to be trail blazers like the wright brothers were, you might have to put up with a hacked together MVP. I m just saying that anyone who lost their money did so knowing the risks (or should have known the risks).

That's nothing, they actually track store visits now to monetize ads. And if you opt out then a lot of things including Google Now stop working.

I find it odd that stories like that don't get much exposure on HN unlike negative stories about Apple, Facebook, Microsoft etc.

See. This is the stuff that I don't like. While Tango is cool, self-driving cars are cool, and Google Fiber is needed, I feel like Google is only doing these things to collect data about me.

They are. Selling ads is basically the only way Google makes money.

It'd be nice if they at least offered the option to pay $X/year to use Google services without tracking. But I think that would be unlikely, because it would highlight the value of the data many people give away freely.

In at least four cases, Barksdale spied on minors' Google accounts without their consent, according to a source close to the incidents. In an incident this spring involving a 15-year-old boy who he'd befriended, Barksdale tapped into call logs from Google Voice, Google's Internet phone service, after the boy refused to tell him the name of his new girlfriend, according to our source. After accessing the kid's account to retrieve her name and phone number, Barksdale then taunted the boy and threatened to call her.

In other cases involving teens of both sexes, Barksdale exhibited a similar pattern of aggressively violating others' privacy, according to our source. He accessed contact lists and chat transcripts, and in one case quoted from an IM that he'd looked up behind the person's back. (He later apologized to one for retrieving the information without her knowledge.) In another incident, Barksdale unblocked himself from a Gtalk buddy list even though the teen in question had taken steps to cut communications with the Google engineer.

So? It's not as if they're collecting less information about you now, or are subject to any more legal restrictions (such as those imposed on credit reporting agencies).

The quoted text includes "In an incident this spring..." I mentioned the article's year of publication to provide a chronological reference point for the quote.
