Investment bankers wear it with a badge of honor, but who cares it's only money... the scary one is when doctors brag about it! Especially the ones in med school or just out of school. Peoples lives or quality of lives depend on them making correct decisions.

With a small business, I understand why there can be lack of sleep - you don't have the resources to hire more, but stuff has to get done. But with IBs/Doctors, why can't the Managing Directors/Head of Depts just hire more, but pay less (with shorter shifts)?

We have a party in the US that thinks "running a country" means cutting taxes and increasing corporate welfare until the government goes bankrupt.
This fact should be drilled into the heads of managers everywhere - Henry Ford, one of America's great entrepreneurs and businessmen, set his workers' shifts to 8 hours not out of some love or sympathy, but because 8 hours is the maximum work you can extract from a human being in a day. It's not some average or medium amount, it's the maximum sustained amount. If they could do 9, he would have had them do 9.
It doesn't take a conspiracy for hacker groups in one country to be inspired by the work of hacker groups in another country.

No, not hotlinking. I don't think hotlinking inherently could break a law, I think that would require some understanding that the host provides the content for one particular use and any other use would be a violation. There probably are sites with license agreements/terms of service that state as much in which case hotlinking would be breaking the contract. If ad blocking were illegal, it would be for the same reason.

Hotlinking could be involved in criminal or civil actions, e.g. used to perpetrate fraud or used maliciously (intended to use up host's resources or even DDOS).
I don't see a reasonable alternative for text markup (HTML, ODF, OOXML)
I agree with exactly what you say except for the price. At $24/year there's just no room to stay in business. Even just one support request would put you in the negative for that customer. Nevermind the server costs, payment processing fees, you're barely leaving anything on the table unless the company can achieve massive economies of scale. Again I agree with everything but price, I just can't see the. Staying in business at a lower price point...
How tall are you? What's your build? Yours sounds like a pretty damn successful story, congrats!

Calorie in vs. calorie out is a simplistic way of looking at it. It is certainly true for a first-order approach, though. There is much more to it, such as timing, consumption of fiber with sugar, metabolism, etc. etc. However, the most important factor which should be taken on first for the largest immediate changes is calorie in/out.

I'm curious how much fat you have now? In my experience: With effort I was able to get to about 90% of my goals, but the last 10% is extremely stubborn and I haven't been able to get past it. From what I understand, it would require extreme tactics, such as 10 hours of sleep nightly, eliminating all stress and amino acid accounting to eliminate.

I might suggest reducing the cardio greatly and replacing it with briefer, higher-intensity cardio, btw. The body seems to adjust intake demands very well in response to cardio. Also, what supplements do you use? Finally, I'm a little concerned when you say the fat you have is not normal - you may be straying into the unrealistic psychological zone, but obviously I can't tell much from here. I just don't want you to be obsessing over a physique that is already quite acceptable. Congrats again, your discipline should be inspiring to lots of people... hope you comment doesn't stay gray long.
There was an efficiency program that gave out programmable thermostats to average householders. When they evaluated the program they found that they actually made things worse, because no one knew how to use them properly.
OP here. I have read all the replies and the "What the hell is real food ?" appears several times.

In this context, "real food" means anything that you would find in nature in the same form - excluding changes due to cooking - as you would eat it. Some examples:

- Potato, orange, nuts, milk, eggs, meat: Real food

- Bread, Pasta, Chocolate (no cocoa): Nope

I know that this leaves lots of grey zones (butter, coffee, ...), but you get the idea.

I cannot help but recognize that my approach is very simple; some would say simplistic, and I would partially agree, but it has been working great for me. Bear in mind that my metabolism is completely broken, so you mileage may vary.
If you're talking about inclusion and exclusion from any particular groups, you're going to talk about "shibboleths". It's quite a common term and no more flamboyant than talking about "MathML" or "hyperlinks" on HN.

Or Shibboleth, of course. I'd actually expect quite a few folk here to know the word from the SSO solution.

>> It's just common sense advice that humans seldom make a food healthier by tinkering with it

While true, this isn't because humans are incapable of improving food. It's because the ways our species has been improving food recently have been driven by capitalism; we've been making it easier to grow and giving it more appealing taste so that it's easier to mass produce and sell. These qualities, especially the taste 'improvements', often result in significant reductions in nutritional quality. If Big Aggro were instead focusing on making our veggies more nutritious, I'm confident that they would succeed.
> People tend to overlook the pervasiveness of food addiction

People have this misconception that "addiction" can only be to something that you can live without (such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, the Internet or gaming), when in truth you can be addicted to anything. If there's anything I'd demonize refined sugar for, it would be that it's easy to get addicted to, especially as it's put into far too many foodstuffs. Otherwise, it's just calories, and if you want it, fit it into your daily caloric budget.
So we get to elect someone that disregards the law and centralizes power. This will still be inefficient and cost us many freedoms.

In most countries in Europe, for example, it's nearly impossible to start a company without lots of capital. This is because of the crippling amount of taxes and restrictions, which results in an economy comprising of near government and big corporation monopolies. You can see this in most of the nordic countries.

The problem with going the socialism route is that the system will need to take more and more income as new generations completely rely on it. At some point, you don't have enough money to fund it, and it collapses.

With the ability for any company to move to any country, there is also the real possibility that companies will just go elsewhere.

Again, from the article:

> It is a common misconception that the primary obstacle to being in a much higher class is money to afford the things by which one performs that class. The limiting factor is not money, it is this: it is impossible to join a culture the ways of which you know nothing. You may come by money, but the ignorance of how to use it to perform that higher class will keep you out as adamantly as if there were a wall built around it.

So learn from this. Learn how to perform as upper middle class. Learn to radiate more confidence, try to look like you belong. If you look like a trespasser, if for a moment you look like you cannot believe you would end up in a place like this, you're exposed as not "one of us".
Great anecdote. Brian is a great guy though.
I am not sure I completely understood your concern but I think it comes down to how do you create value for influential people. I think this is exactly where having customizable contact questionnaire would help. Someone on the influential person team or ideally the person himself will do a onetime thing that people have to fill in to contact him.

That enables two things - it gives the system well structured data. And then we can give the user a UI which enables them to filter out interested reach outs than not so interesting reach out.

So in your case Brian can have a form titled digitalocean customer. You can use that to connect/contact him. He can either chose to accept it, ignore it, or if we can make it downloadable/forwardable he can send it to head of customer support etc.

One challenge that is posses is to have limited number of such contact forms do the trick and its relevance to the person who is connecting.
Of course it does at some point, but they're not meant to be used by the public, which is why:

* you're linking to a URL with leetspeak in it, and not MSDN.

* the codes change so frequently.

* some of them disappear or are renumbered, even in service packs.

If we wanted to do this for Wine, then it would also require emulation or something like OS X's Hypervisor.framework to catch system calls, which seems heavyhanded when we have working code already.

"but no Romanian University is within the top 500 at the computer science section"

http://news.ubbcluj.ro/noutati/universitatea-babes-bolyai-%E...

As most people who live there, you have an insider's perspective and you tend to overestimate how other places are doing.

Cluj and Bucharest are islands in that country, in terms of economic growth.

The biggest strength of the IT sector in Cluj is its drive and motivation. These things take time but there is no reason to deny that there is potential.

Comparing such a small city like Cluj to London and cities in the US is not very fair.

You can certainly find very talented people in Cluj who could work on startups, however this is clearly not the majority. Like everywhere.
I think this article makes some good points. No matter how you spin it, most people just won't understand the appeal internet-connected, smart devices for the home. That's why the direct-to-consumer market isn't exactly the correct route to take, right now.

It works well with tech-savvy individuals, but that's a small subset of humanity. It's basic economics.

My company (ElectrIQ Power) is actually in the IoT space, and we've carefully assessed the market before even starting. Fortunately, for us, we're in a unique group where demand is currently small, but increasing at a very high rate. Our revenues are also far greater than would be possible if we were operating in a direct-to-consumer strategy.
> still refuses to give up milk

Good for her! Milk is one of the most nutritious foods you can get. Lots of protein, vitamin B12, calcium, riboflavin etc. It reduces the risk of osteoporosis -- important for ageing people -- and tends to reduce blood pressure.

And the downside that it may increase the risk of prostate cancer in men is one that your mother doesn't have to worry about ;-)
Loads/stores not "naturally" aligned: 4-byte boundaries for 4-byte data, 8-byte boundaries for 8-byte data.

In the late 90s I would routinely get bus errors while running Netscape on SPARC Solaris machines, presumably due to corner-case unaligned memory accesses. x86 processors perform unaligned loads and stores, but at a slight speed penalty, and with the loss of atomicity.
Can a Search Engine Pop Our Filter Bubbles?
It's frustrating for sure. And it's not as simple as everyone makes it to be.

The calorie in / calorie out has a lot of variables that need adjustment. It's very important not to go on an aggressive diet but requires working down from what you consume right now where the weight is stable (maintenance calories). Unfortunately, what most people don't talk about is the effect of LBM loss and its effect on the RMR/BMR [1]. Your energy expenditure decreases further as you lose the LBM. It will be further worsened if you went for a very aggressive weight loss strategy with very low calories as your body will adjust to that and your hormones might be temporarily imbalanced [2].

Weight lifting and a full strategy for fat loss is essential for long-term success.

I personally do believe metabolic damage (or the better term metabolic slowdown) does happen, but it can be fixed by gradually going back to the correct maintenance calories with a solid weight lifting program (3x per week works) to back it up for a few months. This will result in some gains in the short-term (hopefully more of it being LBM). And you can go back to the fat loss phase again from there.

To add to it, the course the calorie in / calorie out model isn't as simple since macros still need some thought. You definitely need about 0.6-0.8g of protein / lb of bodyweight to gain muscle or about 0.8-0.9g / lb to maintain it at times of calorie deficit. [3]

UX Sketching: Why is it necessary?
My little library runs towards atheists, cognitive scientists, and eastern philosophy. I also prefer practical application (yoga, meditation, self-improvement, etc) and less academic (discussing, critiquing, history of, etc).

Richard Dawkins, Daniel Dennett, Douglas Hofstadter, Marvin Minsky, Tsai Chih Chung, Alan Watts.

Pick up anything by any of these guys and you'll be off to the races.
"SF needs more light rail. Lots of it."

... and more subway.
You could infer that from this:

"The 1920s were the last decade in American history during which one could be genuinely optimistic about politics. Since 1920, the vast increase in welfare beneficiaries and the extension of the franchise to women — two constituencies that are notoriously tough for libertarians — have rendered the notion of “capitalist democracy” into an oxymoron."

- http://www.cato-unbound.org/2009/04/13/peter-thiel/education...

So basically women have ruined any chance of democracy achieving the political goals he wants. I'm sure he would disagree that this is anti-women, but it's not hard to read it that way.

He sort of addresses this criticism at the bottom of the article, but not really:

"It would be absurd to suggest that women’s votes will be taken away or that this would solve the political problems that vex us. While I don’t think any class of people should be disenfranchised, I have little hope that voting will make things better."
I thought there was ifixit.com for that?
I never said the article was a howto. I only wrote it to document my experiences, not to tell people how to do it. It really doesn't matter if you find it useless; I don't owe you anything. I'm having a blast with this and made the blog because I thought others might be interested in seeing my experiences.

As for the actual HN posts, I only posted the first one, then moved on with my life. Others told me that the second one was then posted, so I went in there to clear up any misconceptions. I woke up this morning being told by a friend that this one had been posted.
For TCP connections our DNS server now binds to ANY_IP address (aka: 0.0.0.0:53, :53). We call this "bind to star". While binding to specific IP addresses is still necessary for UDP, there is little benefit in doing that for the TCP traffic. For TCP we can bind to star safely, without compromising our DDoS defenses.

I suspect that's the real fix. Now all those (16k) bound addresses aren't creating hash table entries, so other connections that happen to use a port that hashes to 21 (or 53 after enlarging the table) aren't being shoved into a hash bucket that starts with 16k entries already in it.

The enlarging of the hash table I think is less a fix for this problem (although it would halve the number of later connections being put in the bucket), and more just a good fix they happened to do at the same time.
- MathML as a spec is akin to SVG, it's meant for the browser/machine first, and not for direct human consumption. You don't read/write SVG by hand, and neither you should MathML.

Sadly that's not true for SVG. SVG has many parts that are only there to make writing/editing SVGs by hand easier. Circle, rectangle elements, the commas in the path strings (which follow relatively insane rules. Almost all implementations already had bugs in the correct parsing behaviour regarding commas/whitespace)
I had missed the last comment. Thanks for bringing it up! I've replied to it.

Would like to add that the concerns around security can be managed the same way the browsers do.

AI/ML and Crypto are sort of generally applicable to many startups, hence you see them more.

For databases, there are quite a few columnar database startups.

A bunch of these topics are basically only relevant at large scale since they're R&D intensive. I think it's easy to say that Facebook, Google, and Microsoft have big groups of people dedicated to most of these problem domains. Search their engineering blogs or look at white papers and you can find a bunch of examples.

Right, any low-latency low-bandwith application can use GPIO (or in the case of audio, isochronous USB); high-bandwidth non-latency-sensitive applications use USB.

This leaves just latency-sensitive high-bandwith applications, of which the most common is video.

> The enlarging of the hash table I think is less a fix for this problem (although it would halve the number of later connections being put in the bucket), and more just a good fix they happened to do at the same time.

Yes. It just reduces the risk that they run into this problem again with a different port constellation.

>houses shouldn't leak heat nearly as much as they do. We know how to fix it, it's a technically solved problem, but regulation and government intervention just isn't keeping up.

The house I live in is almost 200 years old. What sort of regulation and government intervention do you have in mind? Should everyone with a house that's not up to the latest modern insulation standards be forced to undertake a major construction project to update all their walls and windows?

As with many things, the issue isn't with the technology and standards that exist today. It's with the large installed base that can't be just wished away.
MMORPGs was always about grind-to-win, ideally forcing a group play along the way - that built communities.
Blizzard kinda killed that turning the game into a solo adventure - most people just logged in for a raid and be gone for the rest of the week and those casual pug raids was the last nail into the coffin of social bit, that actually kept me playing.

That cast's vastly beyond the reach of anyone not spending $50m on a movie. Steve Buscemi alone is enough to open a picture.

And I'd argue Louis CK is, at this point, big enough to qualify as close to A-list by himself. He's famous enough to get a TV series greenlit essentially on the strength of his personal brand, for example.

Essentially, that example shows that if you have a lot of very famous people who are willing to be in your series, and you yourself are also very famous, you can self-distribute. No-one's really denying that.
