> For a person who wakes up around 7am the fast should begin around 5pm in order to let the sugars deplete around bed time. There is no reason to have readily available sugars while sleeping. And then in the morning break the fast.

I can only speak from my own experience– but I'm a tall, skinny guy and if I don't eat for longer than a couple of hours, I start getting low blood sugar symptoms. My heart starts racing and I have trouble focusing or sleeping.

I did some reading about it, and I can't remember the exact science, but I think I read that if your blood sugar levels are too low, your brain worries that you'll go into a coma and it'll try to keep you awake.

Now that I wrote that down, it sounds a little pseudosciency, but that's consistent with my experience. Would love to hear from anybody who has a better understanding.

Fedora usage is falling probably because many previous fedora users are a bit jaded with RedHat, the way systemd has been shimmed into everything- there's no benefit to using fedora over Arch linux anymore, you get more control and you don't have to fight the system to get anything technical done.

Or, they went to the UNICEs, which is what I did.

(this is anecdotal, I only know a dozen or so fedora users and they all jumped ship recently because they felt the offering is sub-par now)

> It's the basis of much of our law, innocent until proven guilty and this applies on a personal level as well as it does on a larger scale.

It's also the basis for much of our laws to preemptively tackle many potential problems and to stop them before they occur. Examples include everything from environmental regulations to corporate anti-trust laws, to work-place & consumer safety laws, food safety laws, and the list goes on...

People are innocent until proven guilty of a crime but that doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't limit the most abused & risky offenses before they occur. We can't trust people to do what's right - 6 thousand years of human history has shown us that people will always, always remain corruptible and inherently selfish. Expecting people to do "the right thing" is one of the most naive sentiments someone can hold. Some will, sure, but the system, society itself relies on everyone doing the right thing (all the time) and that's just impossible. All it takes is one bad actor to spoil it for everyone else, and I'm sorry, but there will always be a bad actor so that's why these kinds of laws, regulations and protections are needed.

Show HN: Probe API – Utilities for distributed network testing
A couple things:

If WD were to start buying sandisk share-by-share, then the price would go up. By the time they owned 50+% their average share price would be a lot more than $86.

Owning 100% of sandisk is more than 100 times as valuable as owning 1%. With 100%, WD can tell sandisk what to do, has access to their IP, can merge steps in the production process, etc.
As some others have noted, this will keep on increasing as more people use the internet. As internet proliferation amongst less 'inclusive' societies (yes, even less than HN!)increases, online threat, intimidation and violence against women and minorities will increase.

The 'social media'/internet presumes a certain 'accepting', inherently socially liberal order amongst its users. As more and more people who don't fit that use the internet, there will be greater hate and rudeness and intimidation in the internet, and the happy-go-lucky we-are-all-one destroy-the-borders liberal dream will end. The internet will start reflecting the extremes of our behavior, and it will be ever the scarier for women and minorities.

It'll be interesting to see the evolution, and how it's handled.
> The problem is that you remove corporation tax and next thing you know, everybody has a personal "corporation" owning all his belonging, totally untaxed.

Property tax is independent of corporate income tax. Moreover, putting income-generating assets in the hands of a corporation to avoid personal income tax is what happens today (the corporation is just incorporated overseas), so no change there.

> Lol, the opposite is actually true. A corporation is required to have a legal address, without which it simply doesn't exist

He's using the wrong word. It isn't that a corporation's address is ambiguous, it's that it's arbitrary. You can incorporate your business in whichever jurisdiction has the most favorable taxes. You can't file your personal taxes there unless you actually live and have citizenship there.

> In fact, a favourite tax-dodging trick is to be officially registered as living on a boat, or not spending more than a certain amount of time in any country.

Which is clearly illegal unless you actually do. And I don't think that works in the US since US personal income tax is collected from everyone with US citizenship regardless of residency.

I kind of miss the days when there was general agreement that only idiots would do anything online under their real name.

I think what changed is that it got really, really lucrative to market oneself online—see also: using github and social accounts in the hiring process—even at the low end of reward for Internet activity, the pressure is real. There's now a clash between how the Internet works, which has not changed, and economic incentives, which have.

A little more insight into Florida and street drugs vis-a-vis violence...In some places drugs dealers are sanctioned specifically to avoid an increase in violence.

Example, in Miami, FL, there is Grand Avenue, a historic street that could define "other side of the tracks", whereas Grand Avenue is a street where drug dealers openly hustle corners, but the road itself leads into Coconut Grove (an economic center in the heart of Coral Gables - a city where Miami athletes/celebrities/politicians call home). In fact the police commonly refer to dealers on Grand, almost endearingly, as Alligators. Because they just sit out on the corners all day soaking up sun and scuttle away when necessary. Ask any Coral Gables cop why they don't "shut down" the dealing on Grand Avenue, the response is, well when dealers can't make money with drugs they arm themselves and follow the road into Coconut Grove to commit robberies. As a result there is an unspoken agreement, Grand Avenue is the dealers' so long as there is no spill over into Coconut Grove. When times are good, in many of the drug neighborhoods in Miami not just off Grand Avenue, it is often said rich white people are the safest people in these neighborhoods because they are protected customers.

I am a criminal defense lawyer in South Florida, but its not exactly as you say, I don't have an interest in maintaining the laws as is. I assure you with different laws I wouldn't lose business, because there would be more lucrative work, namely legitimate business transactions (contracts, commercial leases, incorporation, etc...).

The 401(k) Crisis Is Getting Worse
The thermodynamic hypothesis is correct to the extent that the change in chemical energy potential retained in the body will be equal to energy absorbed from food minus energy expended by metabolism.

It tends to ignore the fact that energy expended by metabolism is a black-box function that takes energy absorbed from food as just one of its input parameters.

If you restrict calories below a threshold (that varies by individual), the body will flip genetic switches to enter famine survival mode. It will adjust metabolic functions to slow down weight loss by any means possible. When the restriction ends, some of those switches do not get toggled back to their previous state. So if you have ever tried a diet that included severe calorie restrictions or extended fasting, you may forevermore find it much easier to gain weight than lose it.

So if you want to go by the thermodynamic hypothesis, it is far safer for you in the long run to hold your diet constant and either increase exercise or thermogenesis (i.e. live through a winter at one of the poles).

Channel swimmers burn about 40 Mcal of energy. Marathon runners burn about 3 Mcal. But their bodies will prefer to use up all glycogen stores before digging in to body fat, and now some will eat glycogen gel during the event to avoid "hitting the wall" entirely. Fat-burning is maximized only after depleting glycogen, or when exercising below the aerobic threshold (and possibly also below the lactate threshold), between 60% and 70% of your maximum heart rate. Obviously, this would ordinarily set a hard limit on the number of kcal you can reasonably expend via exercise to lose body fat.

Thus, the uncanny effectiveness of ketogenic diets and "bonk training". Those practices intentionally deplete glycogen stores beforehand, so any exercise done in that state burns more body fat, regardless of your exercise intensity. Ordinarily, you could have 1500 kcal or more of glycogen stores. That's enough for 15 miles of running, or 2 hours of cycling. And that's a lot of exercise to do before you start to get more permanent fat-loss results.

It is much easier to eat just enough protein to serve the short-term needs of your body, eat the remaining caloric requirement to avoid switching to starvation mode as fat, and avoid all carbohydrates like the plague. Your body converts only as much protein as it needs into sugars, but not enough to replenish its glycogen, and switches to using fat as its primary energy supply, so any additional kcal you expend are coming directly from adipose reserves. (This sort of lifestyle may have unintended side effects.)

People don't want to just "lose weight". When they say that, they usually mean "lose fat". And that goal is a lot more complex than just kcal in minus kcal out.

We still don't fully understand how diet, exercise, metabolism, and appetite work together to produce visible effects on the body. But we do know that a single dietary strategy will not work for everybody, particularly the "just reduce calorie count" strategy.

If you want a challenge get into computer vision projects like image processing, image enhancement or video processing work etc. There are some hard problems to solve. You could start by picking an existing algorithm that people like to use but it takes too long to process and see how you can make it better.

Or if you want a change, write firmware, drivers or other low level code that is tough to do right and most require significant design, thought and testing. IoT projects all need this type of work.

Another idea, work on distributed computing problems, they are still ripe for innovation and problem solving. If you want a real challenge, combine all three of my points.

I personally moved away from web development overall as while I get it can be fun, I am just tired of it. I like doing the backend and solving scalability issues, distributed issues, but designing, writing and handling web forms etc is just not anything I care to do on a regular basis anymore.

At the same time on a non-technical level, I am personally expanding on my marketing work as I have always done really well there so it is fun to help others with it. But you mentioned coding specifically, so I know you are focused there, but you might keep an open mind to what you can do outside of it too for a challenge.
Surprised nobody's mentioned xxxterm or uzbl.
I have to agree with the author here. In the promises example and the callback example, you end up declaring three functions. When you break all the callbacks into the same scope like the author did in the callback example, you end up with the same level of nesting as you would have had when you use promises.

You can also name your functions so you can have a better idea right away what that piece of code would do without having to follow the call chain, and then just pass the function name as the callback. You could use function names with promises too, but at that point why not dump that extra boilerplate code and use callbacks?
The ECJ was simply responding to a fairly obvious and fundamental problem: your private data IS NOT SAFE in the US. The US government doesn't care and has no intention of changing this, so expect the ECJ's ruling to stand for a long time.
"For grammar nerds, this is the one time when it's appropriate to say that a car was pulled over instead of the driver."

This is more than a pure grammatical quibble: It will determine who gets the ticket (and other liabilities). AFAIK, it's still the driver who'll be penalized in cases of autopilot.
Not OP, but the best lesson I've learned in the past couple of years is that the code you don't write doesn't break.

I used to write code to fix existing problems; now I see if there's code I can refactor or remove first. Big difference.

Just for the record, the Netherlands has been proudly advertising their tax deals for years.

See this presentation[1], slide 12. Right from the horses mouth:

Reason 7 [to have a holding company in Holland]:
Fiscal climate: Very competitive tax climate from
its far-reaching tax treaty network to the
possibility to conclude socalled[sic] advance
tax rulings.

Utterly blatant. And notice the logo of Starbucks next to it. The Dutch government advertises that Starbucks pays practically nothing in tax, in order to undercut other EU countries.

These tax deals usually take the form of a fixed tax guarantee: the company agrees to place their holding company in the Netherlands and pay X euros in tax for the next N years (2 to 5), regardless of their actual revenue or profit. For the Dutch government this is just free tax revenue and if they don't make a sweetheart deal with the multinational the holding company would end up in Luxembourg or Ireland instead. This way the multinational can make the countries fight for the most preposterously low offer.

1. If you're not passing the backbone models to React components, this sounds fine. backbone models as props ends up being really painful because of how mutable they are, and when we tried to manage that with mixins, it was buggy and caused problems (note: I'm not familiar with the actual mixin we used there and whether there was a better way to do it). Since most flux implementations are pretty stateful/mutable themselves, using mutable backbone models there, so long as you copy data out to pass to react views, seems safe. Though I'm excited long-term about the immutable flux implementations (https://github.com/rackt/redux)

2. We had a library originally written by Ben Alpert (now core react team) that handles all of our interactive svgs [1]. Since KA has a lot of legacy code there, and there hasn't been an immediate benefit to porting it (which would take a pretty significant time investment, on the [very roughly] order of a couple dev-months), this is still mutable jQuery/raphael code. There have been a lot of talks of eventually porting this to react, but the immediate need for it hasn't been there yet. However, I did write a React wrapper around much of this code which is used by newer interactive widgets [2].

The war on drugs has never been about public safety - it's been about control on minorities. This is well documented.

Do drugs have risks? Of course. But as pointed out elsewhere, so does everything else. It's also very clear that any ostensible benefit from prohibition is easily outweighed by the crime and suffering caused by it.
Agreed. It does look like all models share the 39 Wh Battery... now we just need a performance comparison.

And even if it did, it's good to keep in mind all the energy that is lost converting sugars into fat during DNL, which isn't exactly the most efficient process.

In terms of fattening macro-nutrients, the rank would be fat > sugars > protein.

People keep ignoring this simple fact (that fat is already fat after all), yet argue endlessly about physiological stuff and ancestor mumbo jumbo.

So that means you ARE for prohibition of alcohol. Read your last sentence: count the cost and see that nothing is free.

Do you think prohibition of alcohol had no costs? Same thing with drugs - which the article pointed out. The cost of keeping it illegal far outweighs the potential costs resulting from irresponsible users (which we still pay for even when it is illegal)
I have a Surface Pro 3, and owned a Pro 1 (1st gen), I have to applaud Msoft for iterating quickly on their hardware line. Its been ~3 years and the (personal experience) general consumer approval of the Surface line has been gradually changing. It went from an iPad competitor, which was a terrible comparison, to a generating its own category, a tablet that can replace your laptop.

I typically skip a generation to upgrade machines, but the Pro 4 (based on this review) solves all the small quips I had with mine. Its looking like I am going to upgrade to the Surface Pro with Iris graphics. Still on the fence about the Book, I don't really need the laptopness.

Where would Microsoft be today if they had given up on their OEMs 5 years sooner, and gone head to head with Apple on hardware?
