Inflammation is, under ordinary circumstances, part of how your body reacts to damage to itself in one area or another. When it's a short-term traumatic injury you see it as, say, a swollen ankle. Chronic inflammation is different, but if I understand correctly, involves the presence of the same molecules in your blood. I'm not sure anybody completely understands what causes chronic inflammation or exactly how it drives diabetes, heart-disease, etc., but there's a lot of evidence for this.

OTOH, there is quite a bit of information on how to lower inflammation, and a lot of it involves changes to your diet. It's also pretty easy to measure inflammation. To some extent, when you have a blood lipid profile done, your triglyceride count correlates positively with inflammation. There's a also a separate, more specific test you can have done, which tests for something called high sensitivity c-Reactive Protein. If you have high triglycerides and/or high cRP, then you probably have some level of chronic inflammation.

How to lower it? Well, some people argue that triglyceride level (and inflammation) directly correlate with carbohydrate intake. These people advocate something like the ketogenic diet to lower inflammation. There are also specific foods / supplements which are known to be anti-inflammatories. Offhand I can think of fish / fish-oil, cherries / cherry-extract, cayenne pepper, and, IIRC, turmeric. Possibly garlic as well, but I'm a little fuzzy on that. Google "anti inflammatory foods" or something like that and you can find a list easily enough.

Also, a good book that I recommend is "Cholesterol Clarity" by Jimmy Moore and Dr. Eric C. Westman. It goes into some of this stuff.

I'm not saying I necessarily agree with the prosecution, their tactics or the charges, but this article is sensationalist to the point that you could change the headline to "emptying your trash could land you in prison".

> prosecutors argued that he made a conscious choice to destroy materials he knew could be used in a future investigation.

See, that's the point here. If he had happened to have (say) VHS tapes or even handwritten notes of those sessions, and he had thrown them out after the bombing, he could have been slapped with the same charges. The primary difference here is that emptying your browser history leaves a telltale sign, while chucking out some physical object does not.

Also, this article is conveniently omitting the fact that he also pled guilty to three counts of essentially lying to the FBI: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/03/26/the-fbi-is-...

There are far far more people willing to take a pill then exercise or caloric restrict. If this allows those people to survive long enough for more radical form of life extension, it could save many, many lives.
Step 1: devise a sustainable system of growing food, where "sustainable" means that the process can be maintained for at least five hundred years without exhausting resources.

An example of unsustainable agriculture is a model based on mining phosphate.

An example of sustainable agriculture is a model where human waste can be converted into fertilisers (e.g. by processing sewage using reed beds, then charring the reeds to use as biochar and mulch).

Turn our attention to plants which will efficiently store phosphorous in a biologically available form, and ensure that the phosphorous we currently discard in effluent can be captured.

Treat spaceship Earth as a closed system and relise that we have to plumb our outputs back into our inputs or there will be a heck of a mess to clean up later.

There is also the issue of the begged question when asking, "how do we feed 9 billion people?"
Bullshit. The meter charge for a house in the ACWD is $20.77 / month, and the rate per hundred cubic feet (748 gallons) of water usage is $3.373. I use about 70 gallons per day, so please explain how you pay over $200 / month "while using almost no water."

Which is exactly why I might delete my browsing history as I occasionally do without realizing that I was disposing of "evidence".

Were it my first thought, I suspect my second thought would be "that's a terrible idea" - and my third to buy another computer, lest my daily, innocuous, use of it be cast as any form of evidence tampering.
Here is a proposed mechanism: count calories as they are on the label, see if you lose weight. If you do not, lower them further, still counting by the label.

It doesn't matter if they are exact for a given person so long as the labels are consistent. They are sufficiently consistent.

I'm curious - have you tried losing weight, and is this from personal experience? Because I found it trivial by just counting calories and keeping a watch on my weight. I don't doubt that sometimes the calories I absorbed were less or more than what I wrote down, but that doesn't really matter in the long run - they're sufficiently accurate.

I am not 100% sure about the rules, but I think work for free is still considered work. If you have a tourist visa, you are not allowed to work for a client in the USA, even for free.

If you have all this time, why not develop an app and sell it on the internet? You can always say you're working for your own company back home.

It's worse than that.

Deleting your browser history if they government says that you thought it might one day be relevant in an investigation can land you in prison.

For example:
You're downloading run of the mill adult-on-adult pornography and one of the links that you click redirects you to a child porn site, you weren't looking for child porn and you didn't want any but you inadvertently browsed to a site that hosts it, so you delete all of your cache because you don't want that on your computer. Well, if that site was a honeypot and when the authorities come investigating, they'll use your cleared cache as proof that you knew you were doing something illegal and prosecute you for it despite the fact that you didn't intentionally break the law.

For an established company launching a new brand or product, this approach makes sense. For the sort of startup that historically had office hours with Graham, it's a distraction from working on the product. Early stage startups can't afford to waste time bike shedding in lieu of working. It's so much easier to play house picking a name than building a product and finding customers and that's why it's so dangerous.

That's odd. I thought SOX applied to public corporations.

How a guy was charged with violating it seems odd.

Too bad SOX doesn't apply to government.
As an extension to 4, generations of OSes and applications add to that variability... compare Windows 10, and the latest MS-Office UI to Windows 2000/Office 2000... Very different... the same to a lesser extent with OSX.

I think your best bet is to create a UI that is as clean as possible within the context of your application, and try to map those things that make the most sense per environment (IE the top of window menu vs screen/app menu in OSX) and Some of the placement conventions for menu options.

This makes sense in native-is as well as web based applications. The fact is, with as much variety as there is, there really isn't a canonical application profile that's consistent everywhere... so trying to make a nice looking app should be the first priority over making it look like {insert os here}.
"GeoLite2 City" is the free version. It's one of the 3 products in the chart.
One could present that argument, yes, but would be questioned as to why the argument is needed for the canonical main function definition.

Usage of this syntax for main not only deviates from expected form, its presence in defining the one function every C++ developer knows by heart is self-defeating.
The tricky bit is that he needs official employment to get back in to the US, as I understand it.
I think the author wrote this series of articles to better understand the kernel source code himself, an effort that I praise. It is probably the same reason why most of us write blogs: our articles are much more interesting to write than to read. The fact that somebody can find the "Linux insides" articles useful is mostly a welcome side effect, not the original drive that put them into existence. Again, this is only my personal understanding of the author's intention, which I admire.
Ask HN: ELI5 why I have to learn Machine Learning to use it?
Ok, this could be a stupid question.. But I've seen a lot of people asking how they can learn data science or machine learning, with the majority of answers referring to Andrew Ng's Stanford Coursera course.

With services like Amazon's Machine Learning, why (as a web developer) do I need to learn machine learning? Can I learn the basics and just let the services do the work for me?

> as part of an effort to thwart a criminal investigation

Correction: a criminal investigation that didn't happen yet, might never happen, or might happen say 6 years from now.

And you'll be guilty regardless of whether this investigation targets you or someone you just happened to interact with. And regardless of whether the investigation results in other charges or not. And regardless of whether your potential evidence even matters in the investigation.

I don't think a government should hold such power over any person. SOX was targeted at corporations, the fact that it is used on other targets is a demonstration of how overreaching it is.

Combined with the alarmingly common practice of threatening innocent people with 20 year sentences until they plead guilty, this is a very dangerous precedent.
Everybody wants to be Notch, but nobody wants to write code for years on end.

If you actually have the free time, and the ability, to pursue at least one of your ideas then I think the only way you can answer this question is to force yourself to see one through to the end. I'm kind of the same way - tons of old Game Maker projects that got abandoned because I wasn't capable of executing on the ideas I had, things got too complex or I just stopped being interested in them once I solved what I thought were the interesting problems.

Since i'm taking programming classes now, I've decided to finish one ridiculously simple game (Space Invaders) just to earn the basic mechanics of 2d game design, in C++. Of course now you have Game Maker, Unity, Unreal and various other frameworks to choose from, but my personal interests are a bit lower level. I started in January and haven't finished yet. Just the basics are turning out to be much more complicated than I would have anticipated, and I haven't even bothered with art, sound, or gameplay that's anything beyond the rudamentary. I spent weeks building (from scratch twice) a basic entity/component system to work with SDL, not because I had to, or because that was the most efficient way to build the product, or even because there weren't existing libraries for that, but because that's the problem I was interested in solving. So something that would probably be a weekend hack for a better programmer is turning out to take the better part of a year, because I'm more into the journey right now than the destination.

Having 'vague ideas' doesn't really give you a good sense of the scope of what those ideas might actually represent. I would second the other comments here suggesting you find a simple game and try to clone it, but I would also decide whether what you're interested in is the coding of games, or the authoring of games. In other words, would you feel more satisfied writing C and C++ code, or working through a framework like Unity or Game Maker? Because the latter would probably be faster for just prototyping or getting a feel for an idea, and almost certainly better for making salable games if you're not already a professional low-level game programmer. But personally, I think the former is more fun.

Pick a language, pick a framework, pick a game, accept that the results won't be perfect, and just go for it. That's the only way you'll discover what your passion actually is, or isn't. If you can't commit to that then, yeah, you're probably not going to commit to something real. Which is fine. Plenty of people want to be writers too, who never write. People like that tend to spend a lot of time taking writing classes or hanging out on writing forums and in writing groups, because 'being' for them is more interesting (and easier) than 'doing'. It's not an uncommon phenomeneon.
Is it really the government doing something though, or failing to do something (control water prices)? What would go wrong with a free water market? Sure some types of user that are currently subsidised wouldn't be able to survive but they probably should be in a more water rich location for overall greater efficiency.
I wouldn't want to hire you because I wouldn't want to get in trouble. I also wouldn't want you to get in trouble. There are alternatives being discussed here that would allow a win/win instead of a lose/lose: pick a different country, get another year of experience, and play by the rules.
I did a little googling, and destroying the porn would actually be the right thing to do and so shouldn't get you in trouble. According to "18 U.S. Code § 2252A - Certain activities relating to material constituting or containing child pornography", an affirmative defense is not having much and either deleting it promptly or reporting it:

(d) Affirmative Defense.— It shall be an affirmative defense to a charge of
violating subsection (a)(5) that the defendant—
(1) possessed less than three images of child pornography;
and
(2) promptly and in good faith, and without retaining or allowing any person,
other than a law enforcement agency, to access any image or copy thereof—
(A) took reasonable steps to destroy each such image;
or
(B) reported the matter to a law enforcement agency
and afforded that agency access to each such image.

Uber’s Secret Weapon What Future Founders Can Learn from Ryan Graves
> The concept is self-contradictory, and thus not possible.

Ok, let me frame it this way then. We're talking about the possibility of (a different kind of) life after physical death. My assertion is that there is no way to prove its existence or its non-existence. Therefor, any assertion about its nature or lack there of is uniformly based on faith.

> Pascal's Wager can be used to justify any belief whatsoever.

Not sure I follow you on this one, but it's not central to the discussion here.

Thought about it more and I think I understand your reasoning now. But I included Pascal's wager not to justify any particular belief (although I can totally see why you came to that conclusion as Pascal does come to a concrete conclusion in terms of a particular belief).

I included Pascal's wager not for his conclusion but because it supports my assertion that one can not know what happens after physical death. Therefore, any conclusion about that is based on faith alone.

EDIT: Addition to last point.
>has no effect in humans
This is true in practice for most people. "Calorie restriction" is a misnomer. It should be called "calorie unavailability". Research has show that if the food is there in your fridge but you choose not to eat it, you don't get any benefits. The body and mind have to believe it is starving.
Massively obese people have "slow metabolisms" after losing large amounts of weight. This change in their metabolism is independent of changes in lean mass or body composition[0]. This makes reaching a normal weight much much harder for them than for people who are a normal weight to stay at a normal weight.

Do you really think that 1/3 of the population is "weak-willed" or has other moral failings that means that their problem is not worthy of spending public money on? Solving the obesity epidemic is much harder than people simply becoming "better" or "choosing" to stop being obese. If this were the case less than 5% of the population would be obese.

The timeline listed in the source he provides clearly states that he made an effort to "delete files [...] reformat his computer" after the events, indicating knowledge he could be implicated as an accomplice.

That said, I think using the "mens rea" argument associated with implicit guilt is how dangerous precedents are born.

I'm specifically concerned with this excerpt from from Sarbanes-Oxley act which is being misappropriated by prosecutors:

>Whoever knowingly alters, destroys, mutilates, conceals, covers up, falsifies, or makes a false entry in any record, document, or tangible object with the intent to impede, obstruct, or influence the investigation or proper administration of any matter within the jurisdiction of any department or agency of the United States or any case filed under title 11, or in relation to or contemplation of any such matter or case, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 20 years, or both.

Deleting videos and attempting to reformat a computer after the Boston marathon are done knowingly. Clearing one's cache/browser history is in many situations an automatic action, and it's troubling to find it lumped in with pre-meditated action.

I see justification for 3 counts of obstruction, not 4. The 4th looks like an attempt to set the modus operandi of the courts in dealing with our web/online history, and I don't think anything which draws attention to that is necessarily a bad thing...

You seem a highly skilled and driven individual whose talents would be savoured, and rewarded with good money, by many companies in many different countries around the world.

Do not work for free.

Once more, please, do not work for free.

1. You don't have to work for free, far from it. You have in-demand skills and experience in a global job market. You can make really good money in many, many desirable locations around the world.

2. I would be extremely wary of anyone who would take you up on the basis you're proposing. Anyone who would give you such 'charity'[1] may have very questionable morals - 'oh sure, I'll take this desperate[2] man's skills, make potentially a LOT of money off of him without giving him his due reward, and that's completely fine with me, because that's what he said he wanted'. Imagine the sort of person who would utter such a sentence - do you want to tie your livelihood for the next however many years to such a person? I'm sure you know, there is a whole class of criminal activity in developed countries which exploits illegal immigrants based around this very premise. DO NOT put yourself on that path.

3. Never put yourself at the mercy of any one person or organisation for your survival. Your current situation is awful, but what kind of life would that be to move to? How will you feel waking up in a morning in a bed someone is letting you sleep in, eating some food they gave you for breakfast, then going to work all day only to guarantee an evening meal and bed when you return home. Repeating every day for a long time. That is not a life.

[1] That's what they might justify it as, at least. The reality is the opposite.

[2] I really don't mean to offend here, I know that's not what you are, at your core. But that's how they will see you, and that's the position you will put yourself in and indeed what you will become by following such a path.
This is the irony of water shortages. They're not a function of how much water is available. They're a function of how much money people are willing to spend on it. Water, it turns out, is a renewable resource but it costs money to produce.
The issue here is not that the destruction is evidence for involvement; that was established otherwise. The issue here is that individuals knowingly destroyed evidence with the intent to obstruct investigations.

That's why so many people point to Spivak's Calculus book, since it has been hinted it should be called an analysis text. Strang's Calculus, as do others, start with real-world examples. Personally, I had to do the Strang route, and then come back to Spivak, since I had to admit to myself, I don't have that ability to think 100% abstractly; I need motivation from the real world.
