I'm not really sure where you get the idea I'm claiming it's "too complex to solve"?

In fact, I said the exact opposite. It's very simple - eat less, and exercise more.

How you choose to do that is up to you.

To your other point - calling it a fad - it is most certainly a fad.

There are entire books and TV shows devoted to this low-carbohydrate phenomenon.

I've had friends who were previously •completely* uninterested in their health jump up and down in front of me, talking about how going "low-carb" changed their life, and how I should stop eating those evil carbohydrates, and stop eating so much fruit (I confess, I do eat a lot of fruit).

But try to get them to go for a run at lunchtime? Or reduce their portion size? Not on yoru life...lol.

And your final point, about "outsourcing ownership of your health to doctors and hospitals and the pharmaceutical industry"....I'm not really sure where you got that from my post.

Although now you do mention it - I do happen to trust doctors/hospitals. I don't believe they're in some vast conspiracy - on the whole, I think they're looking out for us. Their advice has been pretty constant for the last century or so.

Get fresh air, exercise, and eat things in moderations. I mean, if you think there's an "exercise lobby group", or a "eat smaller portions" conglomerate who are out to get you, sure.

But it's a bit like saying - "I have a cold, but my doctor said I should get some bed rest and drink lots of water" - conspiracy!

Gosh, I love the Onion...haha.

Anyhow - summary - I don't think caring about what you eat is necessarily bad thing - just the very act of being conscious or what you're putting in your body is a good thing. But I think general guidelines - like, eat different foods in moderation are better, and easier for people to stick to over time.
When I was taking nutritional chemistry in the late 70's the idea that serum cholesterol had little to do with consumed cholesterol was something our professor repeated over and over again. The next 40 years I heard the opposite over and over again. Now people are finally accepting this fact.
I was in love with Ruby since way before Rails, and I still see the sparkle in its syntax. It's a strange kind of beauty, but beauty is weird. A horse can be ugly and beautiful at the same time...
> Medium is a blogging platform. The comparison is just plain wrong.

Yes, I'm familiar with the type of work they publish, but I'm talking about those beautiful full-width images they use (https://help.medium.com/hc/en-us/articles/215679797-Images), in comparison with the 2-page wide images used in some of the example books. And full-width images have even worked well for longform stories like https://medium.com/matter/who-killed-the-jeff-davis-8-d1b813... ... Just look at those illustrations and consistent color-palette, absolutely beautiful.

> > ... but here on the web you can have ... pages with sections divided however you want.

> Yep, exactly. :-)

The phrase "infinitely long" is important. Without it, it sounds like I'm talking about fixed-size pages, rather than a single page encompassing an entire chapter or even an entire book.

"the local higher education system is plagued by corruption" "Education is underfunded and affected by a profound brain drain." (notalaser)

This is so true, sadly! I can imagine the reason Tech Crunch is trying to light the stage in rose colors but it's good to keep your expectations realistic. Don't get me wrong, the Romanian higher education was very self-exigent and managed to spit out high quality specialists for quite a while even after the fall of the Iron Curtain. The good teachers however, were being hunted like crazy. Only in those several years of my Computer Engineering study I've had to witness the departure of half of the professor assistants that were teaching me at one point or another. The good half. On graduation only a small minority of my fellow student colleagues enjoyed meaningful support from their mentors. For most of us the mentorship was only a protocolar procedure, and the quality of our licence projects were being dictated only by our auto-didactic abilities - very far from what I heard University to be once upon a time!
Maybe blizzard might be getting ready to release a "classic" version of the game because the nostalgia is strong (even though they've publicly decried it many times).
Yeah. Historically society has sent people to prison for failing to pay. Today we allow for bankruptcy, which is relatively better.
>So how you feel is deceptive.

Well, yeah you are right. At some point you will have to read and educate yourself a bit to try and guess what is happening to your body.

But as a rule of thumb if you stick to a no sugar habit for 3 months your headaches should not last for more than a few weeks, if they don't subside and you keep feeling "unhealthy" obviously its time to get medical advice, but
I argue the same would be true if you were to keep to a sugar heavy "current normal" sort of diet.

Well there is a way that combines best of both - look at UK.

Basically you have a similar deal like the US, so everyone is guaranteed a loan no matter which university they are going to, but at the same time, the government has limited how much universities can charge per year. So it doesn't matter if you go study at Oxford or a some tiny university no one heard about. The maximum you have to pay is 10k a year. And you don't have to pay anything back unless you make more than a certain amount per year after graduating.

> If the utility of the application provides more value than the pain of the interface then people will use it because it's worthwhile; in other words users will put up with the crap if they're getting enough value out of it.

True in theory, but I don't think this is the case with Photoshop and Craiglist. Maybe with phpBB though. But in the two mentioned in the article, any serious attempt on making the interface prettier would most likely kill the usability. Those products are tools. The interface is there to let you get the job done quickly and efficiently.

And yes, you may have to spend few minutes learning how to use it. Just like you have to learn how to use a microwave, or a car.

The current trend of "beautiful and simple" is driven by the market - beause companies don't care if the product is useful for anything else than getting you to sign up (and sometimes start paying - startups that aim for an exit don't even care about that). You can clearly see how little a company cares about solving their customers' problems by looking at how much they prefer beauty and simplicity to functionality.
I raised a small seed round (200k) on my first company. At that time I felt like it was a staggering amount of money. The company didn't work and out we pretty much lost all of it. For the longest time, I felt really guilty about how I had lost my investors money.

I have a little more perspective now and realize that it was practically insignificant to my investor.

Ah well.

For most people, this would be a problem with the USB headphones, not with Windows. On the other hand, if the USB headphones work well in Windows but not in Ubuntu, then it's a problem with Ubuntu, not the USB headphones.

This is why it's impossible to have a rational debate about the state of the "Linux desktop".

A while back I was thinking about a trip planning product and my enthusiasm was deflated when I read Gary's post. I remember one of my main take-aways was that travel just isn't something people do very often. So even if they use and love your product, the chances of them remembering you the next time they need to plan a trip (a year later?) are slim. I ran into this same problem working on a product rental marketplace (bouncy castle rentals, wedding tents, etc) and it was definitely a struggle. We had to constantly acquire new users. That said, I wonder if there's something here if you focus on business travelers. (1) Some business people travel quite often and (2) Lots of people pay for travel agents or use internal resources to plan their trips.

Recently Paul English, the co-founder of Kayak, launched Lola. It's sort of like Magic or Operator but travel-specific. May be worth checking out: http://lola.co.

Another area I like about travel is safety. When you're traveling to a foreign place, it's easy to assume a given area is safe ("It's only 2 miles from the city center!"). I'd pay money to have access to a real local to warn me of areas to stay away from and let me know of things I shouldn't miss.

Stanford Researchers: People Don't Like Touching Robots' Intimate Parts
I was a bit disappointed by the output. Is this the quality of music that is produced regularly by this software? The only thing that sounded good to my ears was the baseline piece, by itself. It sounded true to the original. The rest sounded like a Casio keyboard from the 80s. Not flattering to the depth of Da Funk. I was expecting something closer to the original, not something with the same tones measures and BPM but sounding totally flat overall. Granted, this is my only exposure to music produced by this software. I wonder if there are other examples, that don't sound like a computer making music? Fruity Loops makes better music than this.
Oh I've been doing it for years! As soon as I notice the waistline expanding, or I feel like a bit of 'detox', I try to schedule myself on a week where the fridge isn't too full of nice and/or perishable things, and I have a good mean on sunday night.

Then it's occasional fruit juice in the morning (bit of an energy boost) and coffee only until the friday.

It's a lot easier than it sounds, the 'key' thing is preparation; pick a week were you don't have a lot of 'social' to do, or any heavy physical things planned, and near empty fridge is good; instruction to the family not to decide to cook your favorite meal during the week and so forth.

Otherwise it's as reported; hunger on the first day mostly, then nothing; you get a bit of a metallic taste in the mouth, but tolerable... You get what I only can describe as a 'high' on the third/fourth day.

I lose roughly 1Kg a /day/ with that method, so if you do it once every quarter or so, that's largely enough to make up for some the odd chrismas/party/easter and so on :-)
Is there a way to pre-render MathJax, say, for static blogs?
Maybe it's me, but I consider Craigslist's interface to be clean and minimal - with no unnecessary stuff (like stock photos, or animations, in the background). Aesthetic value is not always the priority, from the user's perspective (heck, I want to rent a room, not - visit an art gallery). Looking great at the first glance of a non-user is a totally different thing from a site serving its purpose well for its users.

And exactly for the pursue of the minimalism I went from Delicious to Pinboard. Cleaner... (OK, plus - working).

Also, it's why I prefer HN looks to Reddit looks. Or even aesthetic looks of things like Blizzard forum.
'M' is the roman numeral for thousand, so 25m traditionally means 25000. mm is thousand thousand, aka million.
Wow, have you ever been fired? In this day and age when we see successful people in the tech industry dealing with suicide and depression on a regular basis due to work-related issues, that's a pretty insensitive attitude to have.

For the record, my friend was a C-level executive but not CEO, did not get a multi-million dollar severance (less than a million), and for someone who based his entire identity on his job and company, it was a very serious blow that sent him into major depression and alcoholism.

Also, since you seem to be a judgmental kind of person and may have formed an incorrect impression of my background in your mind, I should add that I don't share my friend's financial success. I'm not a successful executive. In fact, I'm struggling financially at the moment.

But despite my personal struggles, I'm able to look past the numbers in someone's bank account and realize that we're all humans in the end, and just because someone has more money than me doesn't mean they're not worthy of compassion.

That said, if you were just trolling, you got me good. hahaha, that's a laugh.

No way! Totally agree. ImTalking's story above proves it. He has those stories for life, and those who knew him or read this will have them too. That is art and something to be proud of even if it is only a few paragraphs. It says a lot about what someone felt was important in their life. And if you don't feel it is important to express your thoughts and desires to others that's fine but some people do find it useful.

Since we're discussing various math rendering technologies for the web, I'd like to plug MathQuill [1]. The big advantage MathQuill has over other solutions is that the math is live editable in the browser in typeset form. We use it for input on the Desmos graphing calculator [2], and MathQuill is definitely the best WYSIWYG math editor that I have used anywhere, on the web or elsewhere.

This implementation is definitively a work derived from the NT kernel. If reimplementing and API propagates copyright, the only allowed licensing situation would be that MS releases the complete NT kernel under the GNU GPLv2 license.

This is not going to happen. And this is not a too bad news, because this might give us leverage (by estoppel) if MS ever wants to litigate against free software on the theory that reimplementing API propagates copyright.

This is one of those curious cultural things that are well-accepted in a handful of countries and seem completely loony to the rest of the world. America has its engagement ring culture I guess. The phrasing of the article title says a lot.

I spent €100 on a lovely antique necklace for my fiancée, knowing full-well that she would call me crazy and feel unpleasantly embarrassed if I spent more on it. Meanwhile you come across stories of American men spending several monthly salaries on diamond engagement rings simply because they are expected to. Fascinating how such a custom has such strong inertia, despite all the critical voices denouncing it — not in the least because of the harmful way diamonds are mined.

Refreshingly, the geekier types seem to lean towards all sorts of creative alternatives, such as lab-grown diamonds, alternative unencumbered gem stones, and the coolest space-age metals.
