I absolutely agree with the assessment of "it's things that cannot be explained with calories." In China, within the span of a generation nearsightedness went from a minor condition to one spanning the majority of the cohort. That's something brought on by industrial lifestyles, but we never want to turn to food as a culprit. Food tastes good, after all. Food is life.

But if you take the idea seriously, then the problem is - which ones? For me, I've arrived at the answer, more of less, of "dairy and poultry." The first one, specifically casein(milk) protein, gives me all sorts of small issues if I treat it as a staple - joint inflammation, hayfever, trouble concentrating, elevated heart rate, etc. It may have been responsible for my scoliosis and nearsightedness too, though I'll never know for sure. The second tends to trigger migraines. I've only ever managed to become substantially overweight by consuming a lot of dairy and sugar, and as soon as I cut those out I slimmed down again.

Fortunately I don't have to put my foot down too much to make a compromise. When I have a burger it's always the plainest burger, since all the others have cheese. Nearly any snack food manufactured to taste "addictive" will contain the odious phrase "milk protein", with the exception of some potato chip flavors. The most unavoidable one is pizza, but I can take a hit there occasionally. And I'll default to lower-GI foods like oatmeal where I get the opportunity - although I tried the "avoid grains" strategem a while ago, it was never something that resulted in a _reaction_ like milk, it was more a matter of "after having milk I wanted to eat more."

Now, if I could get my mom to actually try following this plan I would be content. But despite apparently experiencing many similar issues in a more stark, life-impacting fashion, she is far, far too stubborn to give up her 4 AM coffees with milk, her various yogurts, cheeses, etc. She will, in fact, point to the microbiome as a reason to consume those things.
May I suggest Meteor JS https://www.meteor.com/

It is powered by NodeJS but abstracts it away.

MeteorJS gets you up and running fairly quickly. Deployment isn't too complicated using Meteor Up (MUP). That being said, I have not built a MeteorJS app that has scaled to millions of users - only smaller webapps.

Good luck and have fun with it ^_^
Its like this site didn't exist until a few minutes ago when it was posted here and on reddit. (https://www.reddit.com/r/sanfrancisco/comments/3n2lxn/i_have...).

- there are almost no search results for this blog on google
- there is no way to identify the author - no linkedin - no twitter - no facebook
- there is only one other blog post and it isn't linked to anywhere on the net - its easy to backdate a post.
Hopefully this betters the Hangouts app, on Android at least.
What Can You Do If a VC Pulls Their Term Sheet?
In a few industries, for industry-specific reasons, who appears on credits and the exact contents of those credits actually does matter for career advancement purposes. Video games are one of those industries. Film and academia are two others. It is critically important to your future if you're an assistant professor or software developer working on the 3-D engine that your work get recorded in the industry-standard manner. It is difficult to appreciate this if you're not in academia, but getting your name listed first (and not second!) in the paper edition of a magazine that no one reads is actually really important.

Many of the rest of us work in industries without this professional norm. That's wonderful for us, but does not itself fix the problems of this norm for people affected by it.

As any European who's spent time in the US can tell you, a dramatically simpler explanation is that portion sizes are enormous and many foods are "low fat" which mean they're loaded with sugar.
I would like to think that anyone who identifies as a hacker would be smart enough to realize that being opposed to current patent/copyright law does not mean you should be opposed to every legal concept used or referenced in patent/copyright law. That's like refusing to eat ketchup because you object to McDonald's.
Property owners already have the power to disallow short term rentals in their units, and won't need this law.

We already know this is funded/supported by Hotels, which are no doubt resenting lost income. The other beneficiaries are people who resent that what their neighbors are doing is legal.

We don't need housing in the Bay Area to be more scarce, and reducing property owner's rights in order to do it is even worse.
No, iFixit engaged in corporate behavior with a corporation - no trust ventured, none lost. Maybe there was harm - a lawsuit can settle that.

But Apple broke the trust of their users - by deleting a perfectly valid app in retaliation for a third party doing something unrelated. Any user wanting to see how to fix something is harmed by Apple's actions. Maybe iFixit provoked them, but Apple pulled the trigger.
The biggest difference that I've noticed between myself (a college dropout) and my degreed coworkers is that they tend to just accept mindless repetitive tasks that are a waste of their time. (Ones that are like a lot of academic busywork based on rote-learning). I can't stand those types of tasks and naturally try to automate or remove them.

Some of my best successes have come from that, and from seeking out other areas in the company where people were doing that. HR was laboriously manually retyping and reformatting job listings although they were using a system with an RSS feed that could pull them in automatically. A half hour (or less) of coding permanently eliminated one of their daily drudge tasks so that they could focus on other things. No one asked me to do it because no one ever even thought of it, but they loved it.

Sometimes it's not worth automating or simplifying something, but it's usually worth considering or trying. Degreed people seem to have a 'this is the way I was taught' or 'this is the way it's always been done' mentality. That's not the way to innovation and big victories.

Degreed coworkers are great for quality control though - meticulous code reviews. And they seem to be usually better at organizing/planning (although not always as good at dealing with unplanned events).

Best is a mix of people that work well together despite their differences.
Meanwhile Google badly needs to go on a mobile spending spree. Companies I would buy in their position include Localytics, AppsFlyer, Contentful and mParticle. Buying those would significantly increase trust and buy-in from mobile app developers, who today probably have more interest in Facebook and Parse.com than anything else
What is your non-arbitrary take on that number then?
You tell that to all the people who lost their jobs and homes. I'm sure they'll be delighted.
I doubt those loans had anywhere near the ROI of, say, the land grants for the transcontinental railroad, the Louisiana Purchase, or the Alaska Purchase.

Would you use a migration script that "scrambled" certain columns on the way back from Production to Development? That's the only way I've seen it done properly at $EMPLOYER.
The study factored in the nutritional value of the food, so your comment seems counter to their findings.

Yeah that's true — I was a bit misled by that sentence. I read "sales" as "profit," thinking that the author quoted those numbers because they were able to be used as a comparison to gauge the severity of the fine.
Well, maybe. Skills are not necessarily the same thing as memories. Memorizing anatomical and surgical manuals will not give you a steady hand or a deep understanding of how much pressure to apply to make a millimeter-precise incision.
On the 20.09, I received a totally legit invoice from invoice@google.com (99.99€ Candyclub - Bag of Gems). The sender is invoice@google.com, but no names, no other personal information. I thought it was somewhat strange, and reported it, but no answer.
Water-resistant probably is the better term, but "a video from YouTuber Zach Straley​ shows the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus functioning underwater for an hour and emerging pretty much unscathed." seems fairly waterproof to me, given what the competition write about their waterproof phones http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/dm/waterproof/

Many people will not be happy to get a 14% wage cut, and would prefer working longer. Also, firms have a tendency to just require people to work harder/overtime rather than hiring more.

Finally, retirement benefits decrease if they are awarded based on how much income taxes you payed, which not everyone is comfortable with.

That is why projects to have a legal 35 hours week usually have extra stuff attached to them, such as integration from special government funds.

> The point is, there are a lot of potential culprits, and it is going to take a long time to figure out what state unbridled capitalism has left public health in.

Or the state public regulation has left public health in, such as the war on fat and the subsidies on corn.

I think what's best is to try to continue research in this area and try really hard to not declare that we've figured it all out yet again and throw the food pendulum in another random direction for the next x years.
> pay a lot in ATM fees

If you use ATMs with any frequency, you need to get a free checking account and debit card with a bank* that will refund your ATM fees each month. Once you have one, the higher the ATM fee, the better you feel.

(*I use Schwab, particularly because it refunds ATM fees internationally. In general, just about any online bank -- e.g., Ally -- will also refund fees at least domestically. Many credit unions probably do this as well.)

Qoopy: Luxury Day Care for Your Chickens
While I respect the knowledge of doctors, often the "wisdom" they have does not agree with one another. We need a better approach than gut feeling. I highly doubt simply telling a mantra like calories in vs. calories out to patients is going to change their behavior much (does the doctor spend months in the home of a patient helping them follow their advice?). It's not a very scientific way to go about it.
Correct, but if it works for art history, it should also work for other degrees that more directly translate into career paths, no?
If your e-mail provider supports the IMAP protocol, you can sync your e-mails on the provider's mail server with a desktop e-mail client like Thunderbird. Once you have a local copy of your messages in Thunderbird, you can search them locally, back them up (copy the local files/directories), etc.

If you want to retain messages on the desktop and delete them from the mail server, you can move them into a local e-mail folder that's not synced with the server.

This is how I manage my e-mail (my e-mail provider is FastMail).

This is actually quite a forefront of research right now and a lot gets overthrown, figured out anew and so on.

Very interesting, what might come from this line of research, but a lot of first insights really seem promising in furthering the understanding of how we process the things we ingest and what different role different types of colon-microorganisms play in what foods do us good and what not so much.
The post now has a name, Zach Perez and from the bio, I'm guessing this is him: https://www.linkedin.com/pub/zach-perez/b6/37b/a6a

The person in the LI profile has no discernible ties to San Francisco. Since his only other blog post is virtually the same thing, it's possible he's acting as a consultant or shill for pro-Prop F team in some capacity. I take his claims with a grain of salt.

Also the person who posted on Reddit has a unique profile of posting almost entirely anti-development, anti-tech posts in his/her recent history.

It's doubtful they're the same person, but conceivable (even believable) this is a concerted campaign disguised as organic conversation.

I think virtually any blog post authored by an unknown person with little real social history is suspect in this campaign and should be ignored as propaganda.

Stuff's ridiculously loaded with sugar. I stopped eating sugar for a few months on a whim. It's rather difficult to do so. Everything just pointlessly has loads of it. Even trying to use no-calorie sweeteners is difficult as some places like to tout how natural they are.

I went back to eating sugar but I can no longer stomach a lot of foods I would happily have eaten before. Everything is so sweet.

>And note again, Google was the only company involved in the smartphone wars to suffer this fate. Given its previous rhetoric about "patent abuse", this is nothing but hypocrisy.

Prevent what outcome. You aren't being clear on how Google abused patents. What patents did specifically Google abuse? If my reading comprehension serves me right, Google didn't sue anyone over the use of any patents - Motorola and Microsoft did. The litigation you listed says Motorola refused to pay a licensing fee, and Microsoft sued - all without the help of Google.

If your argument is that after the the acquisition, Google should have went behind the backs of Moto's lawyers who had been working 8 months on this case and done something - then I assume you are just grasping at straws to create some "hypocrisy" story.
Pros and Cons of Using Screen Monitoring Software
Are you asking how many hours people work, or at what times of the day people work? From the question, this is not really clear, although the former seems more likely. Furthermore, no indication of intent or reason for asking was given. For example, someone may want to know whether there are regional trends among HNer workloads. In that case, it would be useful if participants included whether the job were local, remote, contract, and or employment.

The best plan for this today is the same as it was 20 years ago: write your change scripts in SQL.

SQL is easy to learn, easy to read, easy to test, does exactly what you tell it to with no surprises, and drops happily into version control. No tools required because tools can only possibly complicate things.

The only reason the question you ask is in your brain at all is because of the trend 10 years ago to abstract away the database and declare it in configuration files elsewhere. There's no need to do that. The real thing is simpler, easier to comprehend, and guaranteed not to magically map your description of what you want into something different entirely.
Why not just use the passphrase in the first place? Or do you think an offline attack on a key passphrase is going to be more difficult than an online attack to a server with rate limiting configured?

That happens more than you might think. Have you ever recalled something from your childhood and thought "oh, man, I haven't thought about that in years"?

Memory produces a lot of weird references and metadata. There are some significant experiences in my past where I'm pretty sure I don't remember the thing itself at all, I just remember remembering it. The vivid, multisensory experience of the event fades, and is replaced by the story I told myself when I thought about it later.

Does this study factor in the huge life style changes over 20 years? Far more access to cars, and far more spending entire days sitting down (computer jobs, Netflix binge watching, etc). A lot of how we live has changed in 20 years, I'm inclined to think the problem lies there, not in environmental factors.
Everyone seems to warn about sodium and potassium while on keto - magnesium too. Apparently the suggested intakes are quite high and supplementing is the only way to get there. It might have just been placebo or drinking a hot cup of broth (with potassium salt in) but it made me feel better some days.

I'd also second that it's really hard to eat a massive amount of calories on keto. Water loss and perhaps some changes might make you leaner but most likely, over time, you're simply getting a lot less than, I dunno 3000 that isn't hard to do on a sugary diet.

Codefellows dev bootcamp application question makes no sense
I've been using TC for multiple projects involving Thin Client hardware provisioned in remote locations (such as remote security cameras at a festival and POS nodes/signage displays/twitter walls at conferences) and it really is a great project.

Being able to run a complete distribution off a cheap 128MB CF card is a great thing, especially because the packaging process for TC is really simple - packages are simply squashfs files being mounted to / after booting.

Customization and deployment (editing some files and dd'ing the image to the disks) is also really simple. The package repository is a bit clunky and not as big as you'd get with a major distro, but that should not really be a deterrent (see above).

Keep up the great work!
