Based on what definition? It's only common convention that has associated regulation with government action.

Competition is a regulating force. It's a force outside of oneself that governs and influences how they behave. I would love to charge excessive prices and line my own pockets with profits, but I do not. Why not? Excessive prices are consistent with what I want, but my customers will leave and I'll wind up with no profit, so I govern my behavior accordingly.
Have you tried gradually increasing the fasting window over time?
There are significant differences between now and the 1950's. For example traffic congestion has gotten far worse which has a lot of knock on effects. 'White flight' is another major and recent change. Thus, the further you go back the less relevant these studies become.

So, citing something that says "no evidence of displacement" is questionable when there is plenty of evidence that people are currently being displaced.
You're looking for "bup". It's basically a special flavor of git that works at the block level rather than the file level, so incremental revisions only need to store the blocks that changed. It also has a bunch of other optimizations for storing a large number of potentially large files.

In your first three paragraphs you take the author to task about their comment that gentrification started in SOHO and moved to Chelsea. You then validate his assertion by saying that yes, galleries moved to SOHO, and then to Chelsea, because of "larger space", and later cheaper space - two of the primary motivators behind gentrification!

"If gentrification occurs so infrequently—and if it may help rather than hurt
existing residents—why are so many people so upset about it? ?"

Huh? Nice bit of editorializing there.

How is that editorializing? He's posing a question to begin explaining his position. People are upset about gentrification - just ask my brother, who was an anti-gentrification activist in DC for years. It is in no way controversial to state that.

Yes, the studies quoted are "old", but they are also highly valuable, because they come on the coat-tails of a major decline in the quality of life of ethnic communities in inner cities (read: crack epidemic). This time period is when gentrification would have begun to increase in earnest in many metro areas, and so the study has value. The last 10 years gentrification may have become more visible, but that isn't to say it didn't exist before then, or that the last 10 years were a flash point.

Another interesting study was between 1970 and 1990. This was a critical time in many metro areas, as the wave of whites fleeing instability post-MLK riots in '68 emptied out the cities, crushing the local economy, but also making it more affordable for latinos to move in, which then saw an upswing in opportunities for low-income black neighborhoods. Again, just because the study was old doesn't make it invalid.
Getting the type of a template argument as string in C++ – without RTTI
This comes across as an instance of motte and bailey ( http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/11/03/all-in-all-another-bric... ). It would be better to either avoid the word cult, or stand behind the full connotations of the word including the implied accusations.

FWIW, take it from me as someone with a sense of humor who's a little closer to the situation: Yudkowsky is clearly not a cult leader because he only has one sex slave. A cult leader would have five or more. As for the actual ideas, if his writing style bothers you then Nick Bostrom's book Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies is a good entry point (from an academic philosopher).
Which is also true, but the statements are not equivalent.

Tobacco use (and actually, all forms of smoke inhalation) has a specific, acute mechanism whereby use increases the chances of lung cancer and other respiratory problems. We do not have that kind of causal link for obesity-related diseases. There is a correlation between weight and several so-called lifestyle diseases, but the causal link is fuzzy.

That lack of causation is why reducing the obesity problem to a simple matter of weight control is a bad idea. There are other mechanisms at play, particularly related to body composition, that appear to be sensitive to diet composition and activity levels. Telling people they can be sedentary as long as they don't eat too much (which is basically what the original post I was replying to was saying) is dangerous.
I appreciate your honest feedback but I have to disagree. The article was about software. The comments:

2% Fage is usually the best I can find.

The low fat ones are marketing BS—loaded with sugar so they don't taste like nothing. Unfortunately that's very nearly the only thing available at most stores. Misleading advertising/labelling defeats good food yet again.
Frigging Mickey Mouse. This two-bit mediocre cartoon character is why we can't have nice things.
Same here. Once I cut back on soda and salt, it's hard to eat popular food items.

Things like panda express and Hawaiian onion chips are way too salty... silk soy milk is way too sweet, even when unsweetened. And forget about popular cereal brands... geesh, it's like drinking sugar water. Then there are Starbucks drinks... man, those things are super sweet. Not sure how other people drink it.

I also like what you said about capitalism. As you can see by my food choices, I am not a vegan hipster or anything. But I definitely feel that corporate America does not cater to my taste buds.
> there do exist conditions that cause people to carry too much weight even with a "normal" diet

You are absolutely correct in the same way that saying "there do exist conditions that cause twins to be born such that their bodies are fused together at one or more points." It's true but the vast majority of the time it is an irrelevant fact.

I don't think many people assume all problems are purely a result of weight. That being said if your knees bother you and you're clinically obese, perhaps tracking your calories and getting on a stationary bike occasionally is probably a better long-term decision than double knee replacement surgery.

> Being obese is neither necessary nor sufficient to develop ... health problems.

Because those banks lend to banks, who lend to other institutions, which are owned by institutions or directly by wealthy people. Aside from pension funds and such, the vast majority of financial markets stand to benefit wealthy individuals almost exclusively. It wasn't always this way. Citizen stock ownership in the US was quite significant in the 50s. It's been on a downward trend ever since.
How Internet sleuths solved the 20-year-old mystery of a missing teenager
I've done IF and lost 40 lbs with it. My advice is to eat something really small, and see what the smallest breakfast you can get away with is. After a month or so, try stopping breakfast and see how you make out then.

My understanding is that the gut and vagus nerve are very sensitive to disruptions, any changes in routine have large initial perceived effects, until a new equilibrium is established. I think this mechanism is why diets are so faddish and people think they have food allergies when they actually don't.

So, mitigate the worst of the symptoms, be willing to accept some temporary discomfort, and iterate towards a better diet over time.
Even if that is the true breakdown, "100% due to diet" is intellectually lazy and intended primarily to evoke an emotional reaction on a scientific topic.
A good alternative might be to take $1000 worth of food to the local food bank. You don't need to look abroad if you want to make a difference in the lives of the poor.

I strongly disagree. Companies have abused contractor status for a long time. This is simply more of the same - another company wishing to have their cake and eat it too. It ultimately lets them pay at least some of their employees under minimum wage.

Stonyfield and Fage make full fat yogurts, for example. I do not remember seeing any at the grocery chain giants, though. More specialized groceries (e.g., Whole Foods, some "ethnic" stores) may carry a full fat yogurt.

bup is great, but it's worth reading through the limitations before you commit:

https://github.com/bup/bup/blob/master/README.md#things-that...

Because of the nature of bup's solution, there are some operations that haven't been implemented because they would be prohibitively expensive. Pruning old files for example -- the equivalent of git's "filter-branch" just doesn't work.

If you see a large amount of money (as in 100+ of billion) flow in and significantly substandard returns then it was misallocated. The VC industry has seen substandard returns over the last 20+ years. So, it's not a good allocation of money.

PS: Some people get rich at Vegas, that does not mean gambling is a good investment.
Culture plays a large role. It's become a thing in America where 'fat shaming' is looked down upon. Although, shaming someone should obviously be looked down upon, merely pointing out the fact that someone is getting fat should not be deemed as 'fat shaming'. In Korea, people regularly tell each other if they're getting fat, which is not taken as an insult, but is a factual statement and is classified as 'caring' and a 'worry' rather than 'shaming'.

Eh. I don't think that Wikipedia definition is commonplace usage. There are numerous social groups with deviant novel beliefs and practices, that people don't call cults. Do you call all such things cults?

And to be honest, I wouldn't even call the singularity culture a religion. It has no supernatural beings (no gods as you, but no angels or whatever as well). No magical beliefs. By that I mean things like the idea that prayer can heal. No ways to worship. No prescriptions on how to live your life. Literally the only thing is singularity = rapture.

Like honestly, what makes it a religion? Its just a weird idea that nerds like to talk about.

Well, it's a personal decision to be sure. The difference between the Toyota issues and the Volkswagon issues is that Toyota did not (as far as we know) engineer a part of their car to do something that they asserted it did not do, and didn't cheat on testing. They likely foot-dragged the investigation.

Volkswagon did exactly that, with malice aforethought. It was on purpose, by design.

Volkswagon owns other brands. Not all, but others.

I have read that the German auto industry as a whole has has been successfully heavy handed in influencing emission standards in Europe.

EDIT: And this refusal to buy is the only leverage I have in influencing corporate conduct. At the least, it's a personal decision not to award actual or suspected behavior. The German auto industry as a whole has been tainted, and this may be their chance to clean up their act and really be what they say they are. Rather than merely any set of corporations that happens to make cars instead of breakfast cereal.

Isn't that exactly what this is? You "invest" a sticker, and you get a 100% return on your investment by receiving two stickers. It's not explicitly stated, but given the name and the context, I assume that the stickers you receive come from new "investors."
Your symptoms sound like hypoglycemia. As someone for whom hypoglycemia is a chronic issue, the best thing I've found for dealing with fasting is to load up on protein-heavy foods with low glycemic indexes prior to the fast.

Edit: I should be more clear - avoid foods with high glycemic indexes prior to the fast. In fact, just avoid them generally; they're usually empty calories.
> It's true but the vast majority of the time it is an irrelevant fact.

Vast majority is not 100%. As I replied elsewhere, I was reacting to the laziness of the statement more than trying to assert it is not generally the case.

> I'm curious how you think most diagnosed cases of hypertension and Type 2 Diabetes are caused, then.

That is a good, unanswered question. Along with why people who have never been overweight in their life also develop hypertension and Type 2 diabetes and why so many obese people never do. There is certainly a correlation, but there is no causal link as yet to anything in particular.

I don't think "virtualization" is quite the right word. "Middleware" is better. "Protocol rewriting" might be more honest. Though in my day we just called this a "hack".

It's certainly nothing new, whether you do it with a CGI script a fancy rewrite module on your reverse proxy or a network "appliance" endpoint like a BIG-IP. It's definitely something every good ops or devops person should be able to pull off to fix those unfixable problems that crop up from vendor intransigence or developer pushback.
I'm working on something new in this field and would love to hear from people with interesting use-cases (and tales of woe about current tools).

Sadly I don't think diffing & merging of art assets will ever become viable and locking can only work if your assets are controlled at an OS level. The simplest solution is to hide a file if it's locked.

Perforce is not good at dealing with large assets one artist uploading 1 video file can grind 300 other people to a halt. I know this from bitter experience. You can solve it to a degree using standing servers - but it's tricky and expensive to get right.

Fuse is interesting but doesn't work with Windows. WebDAV is old and cranky and half broken. Anything that saves immediately will lock your editing software up while the file travels over the network (and with art files that can be minutes! (think video)).

Dropbox is the strongest contender here as they allow a quick save followed by a slow sync. Sparkleshare has the right idea and working Windows client (it uses Git behind the scenes so isn't really suitable for video assets). Camlistore is an exciting technology based on the Plan9 file system (and Git) it should cope with large files in theory though I haven't stress tested it. It's still young and there isn't a good visual client yet.

I'm coming at this problem from the world of D.A.M. (yuck) but worked for years in the AAA Games industry (many, many, giant art assets). Traditional DAMs have never been any good at dealing with assets still in development. Hopefully we can change that, however there are so many problems to overcome (see above) that its unsurprising no-one has managed it yet.

Drop me a line if you have any useful/interesting use cases.

Starting in philosophy is hard because it takes a lot of immersion to begin getting a sense for what people are even talking about. Most fields are like that, but philosophy is notable since it often uses normal words in (many different) technical ways. It can also be hard to stick with it long enough to feel even what the motivations for the problems are.

The motivation for the "Humean problem of induction" along with a description of how it has evolved needs to be set up somewhat carefully. Marc Lange provides a nice intro if anyone is interested.
http://www.stephanhartmann.org/HHL10_Lange.pdf

But once you've got the basics from a "mere" phil of science perspective, you can go a lot further. For example, you can look at how "knowledge" is linked with human values and what it is to live a good life. Or at how the experience of art is connected to learning or human development. How does the "Humean problem of induction" bear on these themes? These far reaching connections---which typically involve an empirical or "scientific" component---are where philosophy really gets fun!
Not sure if it qualifies as "full fat" per se, but Noosa brand yogurt has roughly twice the fat content of most Greek yogurts I've tried (seems to really help texture/flavor as well).
Although the surface is very unpleasant indeed - it is hypothesised that there are habitable bands in the atmosphere.
I think many readers think I am trying to deflect blame away from being overweight, or even indicate that being fat is OK. I'm not. Being overweight (or more precisely, overfat) is a problem. It is not the end-all, be-all problem with general health, though. You cannot ignore other health measures just because your weight falls within a statistically normal range.
Mono is an open source initiative that is not what I was referring to.

Please check out https://github.com/dotnet/coreclr and https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn and check the licenses of both. Mono has been lifting large chunks of the MS .NET core libraries over to their implementation because MS has done a lot of work on performance. You can download a Microsoft published source code, and build it, so that you can use the CLR family of languages on Linux and OSX.

But none of this has anything to do with cool demos like debugging executables running inside docker. That's a whole different and really cool thing they were working on.

I spent a large part of my career in the global automotive arena supplying products to VW.

He typically led the way in asking tough questions related to form, fit, and function. VW invested billions and bet the future of the Company on clean diesel technology and performance. Martin Winterkorn is hands- on to the point of being a control freak, and it's impossible to believe that he didn't exert influence to bend the rules.

I'm always tickled when people say that something is "unacceptable" as if they're in a position to do anything about it and will somehow follow up with a response.

People are late to meetings because meetings, usually, are unimportant. They miss deadlines because, usually, deadlines are arbitrary and set by pushy project managers without regard to reality.

If the author wants people to show respect by being on time, he should make his meetings valuable and his deadlines based in reality with actual consequences for non-compliance. Ranting about it on Forbes.com will just make people forward the article to ridicule it.
