I've seen a live performer in Stockholm, Sweden (where I live and I haven't had cash in my wallet for a few years, although I guess most people have some "just in case") accepting Swish [1], the instant mobile cash transfer solution (no fees).

I believe it is more about cash being more physical and thereby more immediately noticeable to the perfomer who can give the donator acknowledgement that is the major issue, not the technical transfer aspect.

I guess next step is to have performers carry a small LCD screen and an Arduino to instantly acknowledge received transfers to make it more "physical". (Wooah..! YC, here I come! (jk)).

I was replying to the poster who was wondering why people don't go to jail when banks break the law.

I was making the charitable assumption he was talking about banks that were breaking laws. Most of the significant regulatory actions taken against banks do not involve Basel capital requirements. With regards to the financial crisis, simply being bad at running a bank isn't a crime.

While we're on the subject, political leaders and voters do not really understand the distinction here either. Capital requirements are separate from, for example, anti money-laundering, but in the eyes of voters it's all more regulation against the evil banks.
The games industry has a worker abuse problem.

All those companies proudly talking about their 18 months of crunch? Nooooope, shouldn't happen. This shouldn't be a thing you're proud of. You shouldn't be proud of your employees for slaving to death on those projects.

It's very tough. Compared to the "regular" tech industry, people in video games can be so passionate about what they're making. It almost seems comparable to founding a startup, except you're just an employee working on a project.

You, reader, wherever you're working: Imagine if every single member of your team was incredibly passionate about the work they do. They are building their own baby. They have the vision, they have the motherly drive that puts the existence of their baby ahead of their own. You can see how that could be abused by companies?

It's possible to be passionate without driving yourself crazy like that, but in the video games industry it's far too common and it becomes the norm. In fact, I was going to post about this a few minutes ago - and then you yourself described the problem better than I could.

Credit in your story is not the issue. The 8 months of 100 hour weeks is.
Weight gain is simple: calorie intake - calorie expenditure.

The amount of calories in our food tends to go up over 20 years. Doing the same activities consumes the same amount of calories after 20 years.

Thus we would have more caloric surplus, and likely gain more weight than people 20 years ago with less caloric food.

Pretty simple imo.
It was the same.

From the article you're writing a comment to:

> A given person, in 2006, eating the same amount of calories, taking in the same quantities of macronutrients like protein and fat, and exercising the same amount as a person of the same age did in 1988 would have a BMI that was about 2.3 points higher.

Its strange really. I'm on a ketogenic diet, and hear people preach the caloric balance constantly, that it doesn't matter what my macros are as long as I consume less calories than I burn daily. Yet, I consume close to my previous garbage diet calories and I lose about 2-3lbs/week due to my high fat/moderate protein/very low carb (<15g/day of carbs) diet.

Go figure, it appears that caloric energy balance isn't the only factor.
Even five years ago, the student loans were significantly lower, right? I graduated 9 years ago, and I paid exponentially less. I can't even believe it when I see the tuition costs, even at my public university.

I find myself wanting to continue to give people the same advice I received, the same advice that served me so well, and the advice I believe in strongly—go to college. It will make you a better person. You will become yourself there, and improve yourself and grow. Better, improved, grown, whole people are the ones who earn more money, but that's a side-effect, not a goal.

But when tuition is four times what it was when I found that advice invaluable—it's much more difficult. Even in this thread I'm still giving the same narrative around the intangible and immeasurable value of a college education (I believe in it still, very strongly), but the cost is out of whack.

This is what an economic imbalance feels like, folks. There's beginning to be a huge rift between the perceived value of a university education (invaluable, extreme, incomparable experience, must-do, must-have) and the price (extremely high).

We cannot comprehend it. After all, who can put a price tag on being a better, improved, more whole person? Is it $20,000? Sure. What if we double it? $40,000? Sure, still invaluable. $80,000? Remains invaluable, intangible, unmeasurably important. $160,000? How can we deal with this? How can we put a price tag on a whole experience that remains, throughout all the number shifting, invaluable?

Needs intervention.

I still fully believe that the university experience is invaluable. But that's not the problem. The problem is that it's become overpriced because we are mentally unable to reconcile the immensity of its effect on a life with a single price tag. Thus, it is open to economic "play."

So we rail against it and come up with alternatives, and rationalize that it's not as invaluable as we thought it was after all, and, well, why don't we take some parts here and connect them with this series of tubes and voila! This is the same thing for only a fraction of the price; why would you ever go to that big overpriced agglomerated monster anyway when you can get these results right here?

All the while, I can't help but see holes in the real quality of the experience of growing up. You have to be smart about it, I guess.

Clearly, there's a reason this is an argument, and not a clear-cut case of college being valuable so you should go do it, and the reason is a price tag.

At least it's simple.
I'd recommend reading Good Calories, Bad Calories by Gary Taubes. He explains how this is not really the case. It was written back in 2007; I'm sure there's more research out there to prove this point.
But they fall in the other category -- probably didn't have an existing infrastructure already. So no backward compatibility worries, no need to throw away an existing investment if it already makes money.
The banks loathe low rates.. They make most of their profits on interest margin which is greatly compressed in ZIRP environments.. Their margin is literally the lowest it's been since at least the early 1980's. [1]

It's no surprise then that bankers are the ones clamoring loudest for interest rate hikes. Bill Gross, Lloyd Blankfein, Robert Shiller, insurance & pension execs are all begging Yellen to raise rates while the people in charge of companies that actually sell physical goods are telling her to hold off.

How is Tierion different compared to Factom?
I do not have access to the fulltext but from the abstract, it seems they may only have included structured leisure time physical activity like playing football one hour every Monday (what could "Physical activity frequency data ... in 14,419 adults between 1988 and 2006" plausably include?)

I would think there is less unstructured physical activity nowadays. Both at home and at work.

While that's also certainly true, the article says that in this case the calorie intake was the same. They were guessing gut bacteria could be different. Maybe the formula is calories in * bacteria efficiency - calories out?
A person gains weight because they intake more calories than they expend. Certainly.

A room gets more crowded when more people enter than exit. Obviously true.

Neither of these statements tell you why that is happening though, and that is important thing. So, why are people eating more calories? Or, since the articles says they aren't, could the sources of calories matter? (They do.)

I don't see the benefit for the insurance company. The data isn't stored in the blockchain, so they will still have to maintain their own claims database.

It's an absolute limit. Perhaps there are specific modes that are a a few percent more or less efficient. Nonetheless, you eat less than you burn, you lose weight.

Contribution limit has been 17500 or 18000 last few years, it's only expected to go up, and lots of bigcorps have good 401k matching.

Also, the 17.5k (plus possible match) that you put in 3-7 years ago has been compounding for 3-7 years. Sure, the stock market may have taken a tumble in the interim and you might say that that means you end up with less in your 401k, which is true, but broad market movements affect startups' prospects as well, so you are still likely to come out ahead with the safe bigcorp option.
Ben Goldacre's excellent book, Bad Pharma, discusses doctor-pharma bribery in detail.

There is a type of seaweed that if your average American eats it, there are zero calories absorbed.

If most Japanese citizens eat it, they will absorb calories from it.

There is a gut bacteria common in the Japanese population that extracts calories from this type of seaweed.

"calories in" is that calories that went down your throat. It is calories that your body was able to digest, and "your body" includes many types of bacteria that are unique to each person and also unique to different population groups (meaning that some populations share commonalities in gut flora).

It is possible that certain antibiotics have wipe out some types of gut flora, allowing others to proliferate more. That alone could increase calorie absorption. (Or cause a host of other problems!)

It is possible that having a diet too heavily reliant upon one type of food results in an imbalance of some type. The problem is, this is a brand new area of research and we just don't know yet.

But it is sure as heck known that it is more complicated than "calories in food down the throat".

In fact, even the most egregious patent trolls have not suffered anything like this. The thing that is really clear but missed by most is that this was the one lawsuit where pretty much every nuetral party involved agreed that Google / Motorola was the bad actor, and a penalty was imposed on the badness of the actions, totally unrelated to the quantity of infringement itself.

> A given person, in 2006, eating the same amount of calories, taking in the same quantities of macronutrients like protein and fat, and exercising the same amount as a person of the same age did in 1988 would have a BMI that was about 2.3 points higher.

I think the recent obsession with macronutrients is a big part of the problem. I'm not sure if the macronutrient ratio I eat has changed much from when I was growing up with my grandmother's cooking, with the exception of three failed experiments with low carb diets and a couple of other small experiments.

The thing is that in the 80s, as a kid, I was more likely to be eating traditional American staples, like corn flakes or oatmeal and a banana for breakfast, and a typical meal would include meat, potatoes and a green vegetable. I drank some soda, but also about a quart of milk a day.

Now I tend to eat out 9 times a week instead of 2 and I eat a lot more processed food unless I make a concerted effort not to. I avoid soda for the most part, but on the whole there's a lot more stuff in my diet that my great-grandparents wouldn't have recognized as food. I don't remember the last time I drank milk.

Surely eating home baked bread or a piece of fruit isn't the same as eating a snack bar, eating meat isn't the same as drinking muscle milk, and fatty fish doesn't equate to pork rinds, etc. Macronutrient ratios just don't tell the whole story or even most of it.
So it is. Added. Thanks!
Disclaimer: I designed the Factom Explorer and played a significant role in the launch of Factom.

That's a big question. Here are a few points:

1) Tierion does not require an altcoin. Factom does.

2) Tierion is a working product with paying customers. Factom is still in the very early stages of development. There is no user interface and only rudimentary developer tools.

3) You can sign up for Tierion in 30 seconds. We have an easy to use API and developer documentation. With Factom, you have to install three command line interface programs, exchange Bitcoin for Factoids, convert Factoids to Entry Credits, and then you can use the command line interface to write data to Factom. It's a very complicated experience. They are working on a docker image to make things simpler.

Factom has chosen to create a blockchain that is anchored to the bitcoin blockchain. If you choose to use Factom, your application will have a dependency on the Factom blockchain. If it fails, your application will probably fail. They have also chosen to create an altcoin. If you choose to use Factom, you will always need to acquire Factoids to write additional data to a Factom chain.

With Tierion, we've created a scalable protocol for recording data in the bitcoin blockchain and generating blockchain receipts. These receipts are portable. You can store them wherever you like. You can also share them with other applications that can independently verify the receipt.

Factom is still in the very early stages of development. They just reached their first milestone required to receive their first payment from the Factoid crowdsale. The second milestone requires Factom to build a storefront and a consensus mechanism for eight federated servers. This will likely take several months. The third milestone requires moving away from the current centralized model to a decentralized model. This will likely take several additional months.

I hope anyone who has been looking at Factom gives Tierion a try. I think you'll prefer our developer experience and you won't miss the reliance on an altcoin.
From someone who's been doing keto for several years now.

A: Pre-Keto, odds are you we underestimating how many calories you were eating. Unless you were tracking every single thing you ate, there is a high probability you just didn't realize how many calories you were consuming.

B: It is super hard to over eat on Keto. It is possible, take lots of liquid calories in (heavy cream can do this easily!), and there are some other real screw ups, but eating 3000 calories of steak is pretty damn hard.

C: What you are reporting is common for people who have a lot of weight to lose. At some point it becomes a lot harder, at first you just have to sort of watch things, then you eventually do have to count calories. (Especially if you want a six pack, holy crap do you have to count calories!)
Patreon Hacked: Some User Information Compromised
From your comment it appears you weren't tracking avurately before, "close to".
If you track energy expenditure as well as precise caloric intake you'll lose the same quantity of mass, give or take a few percent.
Right, but physiology, psychology, and even sociology can all influence both calorie intake and expenditure. Send a kid to football camp, and they'll eat more and spend more calories.

So: hard problem. Not strictly a technical problem, either.

> Are you saying the assumption that the curve will change significantly is questionable or that the effects of the assumed change in the curve change are immaterial?

Sorry, that's not quite what I am saying.

My point was that "given the purpose of this analysis, mortality factors are immaterial."

If the purpose of this analysis was to give some quantitative answers that were going to be used as the basis for decisions - then it's highly likely that you would want to build in mortality improvement.

However, in this case the analysis is just a simple illustration to convey a simple idea (actual lifespan vs life expectancy), and I would say that building in mortality improvement would muddy the waters and make it just that little bit harder for the audience to understand.

Oh FFS, is all reporting this bad? They paint a picture of a guy that did nothing, and was convicted on one testimony.

In reality, Glossip admitted he tried to cover up the murder. He knew where the body was, but pretended to help the search. Apparently, he had planned to help the murderer cut the body up and dissolve it in acid.

Is he guilty of "masterminding" the crime? That's the part where they only have one testimony and would seem uncertain. Was he involved in the crime? Without a doubt, by his own admittance! He's not innocent. He might be innocent of the aggravating factor of having hired or killed for remuneration but he's not innocent of the murder.

You'd think sites would spend a few minutes reading the court papers on this. Or not, because it doesn't present a nice case. "Don't kill this accessory to murder, just imprison him for life!" "He's innocent of hiring a hitman, he only wanted to aid the murderer!" -- I guess that doesn't have a nice snazzy line to parrot.
I don't have access to the study, but I suspect it doesn't say what The Atlantic is saying it's saying.

I lost weight: I went from 340 pounds to 214 pounds in exactly a year, and then bottomed out at 184 eventually (I've been purposely trying to gain muscle lately, which has been causing my weight to meander in the 190s since then).

My caloric intake hasn't changed in a way that can explain such a weight loss. I went from eating 1500-2000 calories a day to 1500-2000 calories a day (as in, no useful change, nothing that can explain 126 pounds in a year, disproportionately more of it towards the start than the end).

Now, what I did change was drop all grains (grains, cereals, pastas, soy, rice), drop refined sugars (I still use coconut and true raw cane sugars (Muscovado, Barbados, or Turbinado) or straight up raw honey; all very sparingly, and corn syrup is banned in my house), dropped seed oils (no more "vegetable", soy, corn, or canola oils; replaced with coconut and olive oil, or leftover bacon fat when I have it), and legumes (I'm allergic to peanuts, and don't care for beans, so the only thing I lost there is peas; soy is a legume, but I include it in with grains due to how it is typically treated culinarily, and thus already banned in my house).

So, given my experience, people are fatter because of reasons that cannot be explained by calories, such as chemicals in the things I quit eating causing unusual weight gain and halting the natural process of us burning endogenous fat. And it isn't like I'm the only person who did this, it is estimated over a million people have tried Paleo or some variant thereof and have significantly lost weight if they were overweight as long as they stuck with the lifestyle.

Side note: I went from 340 to 214 with chronically under-exercising. I still chronically under-exercise to a point, even though I now lift weights and try to go on daily walks. I still don't get the high other people seem to get from exercising. So, you can't use "increased caloric burn" as why I lost so much weight, it just wasn't there.
