Thank you! I can only second what you say.

As a student living off savings from a previous minimum wage job, it is quite possible to live a comfortable life in London. Motivation and time are most certainly part of the few constraints.

I'd like to add financial wit to that. Most people who struggle also struggle to control their finances in any way and spend irresponsively.

A quick search says the recommendation amount of potassium a day is 4.7G for adults. While spinach and those Ostrim things are high (Ostrim says 330mg of potassium), you still have to eat a LOT to get close to the recommendation. I found it easier to throw that potassium salt into chicken bouillon (getting sodium + potassium).

Also it's funny how the supplments folks are allowed to sell potassium. There's regulatory issues of having more than 99mg per pill (could damage stomachs or something). So these companies market compounds with potassium that aren't in bio-available forms.[1] "550mg!" people see, making them think they're all set (and hah, pulled one over on terrible government regulators). Nope. Same happens with magnesium. Seems rather misleading, even though they are printing the truth.

It can still be explained by people eating more.

Take a 1980 individual that had been eating a bmi23 diet and start feeding them a bmi26 level of calories and they will probably gain weight.

Take a 2015 individual's diet from bmi26 to bmi23 and they will probably lose weight.

Although in slightly different vein and, strictly speaking, not reported to a public bug tracker, this AMD CPU bug report by Matt Dillon is probably my favourite (link: https://www.dragonflybsd.org/mailarchive/kernel/2012-03/msg0...). Tracking the intermittent problem to the lowest level and blaming the CPU and not the numerous layers above it surely takes guts.
In Latin American countries, 1/3 of respective country's population live in or near the capital. The countries in question are already pretty sparse by european standards - doesn't prevent population from skipping home even more and coming to capital, both best and worst.

Seems like UK implemented the same principle.
And the other variable is how well the body turns fat reserves back into available energy. If that mechanism is inefficient then the equilibrium will be higher body fat.

People seem to have an idea that every human body can just instantly burn however much fat it needs to burn to meet demand. It seems more likely that there's a limit to how fast the body can burn fat, which for some people is unusually low, and that if there's not enough energy available you'll be forced by thermodynamics to move less, think poorly, and produce less body heat.

Show HN: Booleans as a service
When I was young, I was in the simulation industry in Orlando and the game industry was taking off there. Tiburon, who would become part of EA later, was snapping up the young simulation talent, in the area and I had an offer to move over. That was the day I decided that web development did not look like that bad of a tradeoff. Game dev was a cut in pay from simulation salaries, which where already well under web dev salaries and the work days my friends where pulling bordered on the insane, crunch mode for 12 months or more with no ownership stake.

Now I was young at the time and had no issue with a long day, I ended up in a startup, pulling similar hours but I had a small stake in ownership. My friends that did go into the field, on the other hand, have very fond memories of the work (similar to soldiers in battle trying to pull off a heroic effort) but they have a lot of regrets overall for entering the industry and feel that they have been damaged as an employee after they inevitably became disillusioned as happens when you life goals of your 30's and 40's start to materialize.

Simply put, the game industry has an almost inexhaustible supply of young bright talent that are falling over one another to get a break in the industry. My nephew being one of them, I literally staged an intervention with him and asked him to talk to several of my friends that left the industry. But he is young and cannot see past his 20's so he is well on his way in the industry. His college girlfriend just split on him over the hours, as she wants to go out and be 20 something, but that has not rocked his confidence in maintaining course in the industry. It is unfortunate, a lot of bright kids get sucked down that hole, I am thankful I was not.
Paraplegic man walked for the first time thanks to brain-computer interface tech
In Ireland some one managed to redirect google.ie (The irish google search domain):

http://technology.ie/google-ie-hijacked/

The ccTLD register (The IEDR) had a vulnerability in their management portal that was exploited (I believe it was an SQL injection if I recall correctly).

The attacker changed the DNS servers to their own and then put an A name record pointing google.ie to their own server.

The server just displayed a hijacked by page.

It was probably just some kid. If it was a criminal they would have done some thing far more malicious.

yahoo.ie also got hijacked.

It was an absolute pain, for months after the IEDR's portal was disabled, you had to call them to make any changes to any .ie domain.
Cool! Thanks for publishing this. I was just using dropbox comments today and saw them use this. Makes the UI look nice imho because usually people tend to never upload an avatar.
Well, as always it depends on "who started it".

There are people who say that the current regime in the Ukraine is a US puppet installed via a coup. And up to today several unknowns persist (MH370, the Maidan shootings, the Odessa fire..). Same holds for Syria.

In reality, IMO, there is never only one guilty, neither in politics, nor in marriage, nor in war.

So I will refrain from blaming someone for all of it and I tend to disbelieve people who "know that it's the other one's fault".

Agree that the article doesn't actually answer the question. I love London but the article is poorly reasoned.

Additionally a lot of it is focused on the post-2008 recession period which is ludicrous. London's dominance is a century old, it has nothing to do with "London bankers".

I am not sure what you are getting at here.

The models you propose are not what most if any designers use as the purpose is not to manually select best color combinations (there are other ways to do that) but to approach colors a little more structurally.

Whether you calibrate your perception to understand one model or the other doesn't seem to be relevant.

I am glad to be taught something I didn't know, but for now it sounds more like a theoretical claim than an actual useful one.

I was brought up on a very rough London housing association estate in the 1970s and 1980s.

Most of the people complaining do not know poverty or have anything to compare it to.

Poverty for me was being sent out at the age of 5 to nick milk off people's doorsteps at 6am because the local food canteen was empty the night before and no one would dare kick a child in because the police might actually give a shit then...

In general, the US Post Office will attempt to deliver any unambiguously addressed parcel.

Some of the things that can happen if you address a parcel to a non-delivery address include:

* delivery to a PO Box owned by the addressee
* delivery to the physically closest post office to that address
* delivery to the routing facility serving that address

This is especially a problem when a confused business demands street addresses instead of PO box numbers. Your parcel may end up somewhere you don't know about.

Street addresses in the US primarily exist for the use of emergency services, to ensure that it is easy for an ambulance or fire truck to find every house. They aren't even the primary key on land in most of the country; usually, the county or state will use a separate lot number which is independent of the road system to identity land for tax or other purposes. Prior to the 9-1-1 emergency system, the post office just used "rural route # / box #" to identify rural addresses.

I suspect the answer has to do with the microbiome and its cumulative response over decades to antibiotics and tiny changes introduced in food (shifts in cooking oils, dairy product additives, even animal feed that then indirectly impacts our own microbiome when we eat meat or eggs or dairy, etc.). The problem is that studies on the microbiome tend to be limited and recent. Long-term studies are especially lacking. What we do have indicates the microbiome may be vital to not just digestion but also our immune system function, emotional well-being and weight.

Probiotics might be helpful here, but in no way are we close to an exact science on the microbiome.

There is a lot of social estates in London. There are area like East Dulwich where you are either living in the estate and pay fuck all (while you qualify), or you can afford 1 million+ to buy a place.

So that's a weird mix where the rich lives with the poor, but the middle class is excluded. ( well, from time to time, one of the estate flat goes on sale for between 300 and 400K which is somewhat accessible to middle class, but then less than 20% of the housing on an estate are privately owned via right to buy scheme, and most of the time the original owner are still living in as they can't really buy better anywhere else )

edit: note that for nurse, there are help scheme available via key worker shared ownership ( you buy a share and rest the rest ). So you have more chance to find a nurse living in the center than a doctor.

Also note that the problem comes from the price explosion of private housing over the last decade. 10 years ago, where I was looking, there were estate, shared ownership (50% of 200K) and private properties starting 200K and up. Now, you have estate, share ownership (25%!! of 600K) and private for 600K and up. The salaries are about the same and the level of help to access government assistance hasn't changed much either. So you can progress from poor to lower middle class, but then there is huge gap to be able to afford your place.
If by "every day" you mean "when there's a major version release," then yes. Major releases bring potentially breaking changes.

How to Not Write Like an Asshole
From the Constitution of USA:

>"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized." //

This does not put a geographic limit, so all citizens (I think "the people" here is clearly a reference in context to citizens) should be excluded from having their data seized without warrant. That's got to be hard with USA citizens appearing in most populations and internet data not being clearly from any particular citizen or other person [they'll need an "isCitizen" bit so that all data packets from USA citizens can be dropped before inspection!].

Moreover the 14th Amendment to the USA Constitution appears to extend protections to all "persons", viz:

>"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." //

If the internet is under USA jurisdiction then persons there should be extended the "equal protection of the laws". One such law being that you need a warrant to search their "papers, and effects" [which clearly purposes to protect private correspondences].

Not sure how it works in the USA - to bypass this Federal operations could be considered to be outwith the jurisdiction of any state?? That would seem to require the people involved to not be citizens of the USA though, as they would then fall under the requirements for their State of residence to ensure the protection of the laws extends to people [everywhere].
But. If we look at the recent history (the last three wars), then the probability drops (suddenly) to 0% for a new war to happen.

If we look at the last 7 wars, it is 42%. Not 0, but certainly not as high as 75% (12/16).

So maybe things are changing (and I guess they are). War now involves nuclear weapons, which I think they are a great detractor from getting the countries directly involved.

It might be the reason why they are resolving instead to proxy wars on "innocent" countries.

Yes. I didn't mean to devaluate human life. My point is, for most of the history, societies have been replaceable, fungible. A tribe would die off to be replaced by another one, with different language and maybe culture, but otherwise the same. A civilization would fall, and next one would took the place, replacing the lost works of art with something superficially different, but generally the same. The world didn't change much with the centuries, people had the same illnesses, same problems. Same capabilities and the same perspectives. We were as far from the stars in 2000 BC as we were in 2000 AC. You could restart a civilization any time, and it wouldn't be significantly different.

Not so now. The last three centuries gave us the means and capacity to significantly improve the human condition. We started to ride on a self-amplifying feedback loop and we can't give up or fall off until we stabilize it, or we may never get on it again.

Humanity has always been worth protecting. Human lives has always been worth protecting. But for the first time ever, we now have a civilization worth protecting. All the problems it has, we have to fix. We can't afford to try and start over.
I know it's easy, but i can't help remember that every single terrorist that striked in the last years in france were already identified by security services, and for a very long time.

For what i know, the problem in France seems to be much further down the data pipe, aka not enough (competent) humans analysing the threat data. I very much doubt flooding those services with an even bigger stream of information will help in any way.
