I think people here will appreciate the following information. To understand fat production, I recommend everyone research the way a liver metabolizes sugar, and its connection to fiber - it is most important. Long story short, the liver metabolizes excess sugar into fat cells when there is not enough fiber. Presence of fiber allows excess sugar to be broken down into waste which leaves the body, avoiding production of fat cells. In essence, this is why eating a bag of apples is healthy while eating just the sugar from the same amount of apples is not. Consuming adequate amounts of fiber is key to healthy sugar consumption. If you noticed, fat people tend to not eat much fiber. The smaller the ratio of fiber to sugar the fatter you are. Simply focusing on increasing fiber consumption leads to much better health because you naturally begin to consume more vegetables and fruits which also have the nutrients. Additionally, and this is perhaps the most understated health fact. The importance of pH balance. The body depends and thrives when the environment is alkaline, and dies when it's acidic. Although acidic foods are also healthy, it's important to eat more alkaline foods than acidic. And the pH is determine only after the body digests the food. This is why for example lemons are actually one of the most alkaline foods. Especially when you're sick, eating alkaline vs acidic foods is the best way to regain immune system strength and health.

>They exist to keep quacks away

No, actually they don't. Chiropractors are still practicing, and in huge numbers, and probably gaining in popularity, and they don't just do chiropractic these days, they also do homeopathy, "supplements", and various other bogus remedies. "Naturopathic" doctors are also a big thing. There's no shortage of quackery in the medical field.

There's nothing ridiculous about it; it's no different than any other dating site, except it doesn't have as much room for your bio. People naturally develop romantic interest in each other based on looks first. Tinder, like any other dating site, is just giving you a venue to meet people who available for dating.

What better method for meeting people do you propose? Go look at the article: online dating is now the #3 (IIRC) most popular method, just behind bars and through friends. Meeting through friends is falling fast, and all the other methods have gone down the tubes: church, school, through family, etc. In a society where people are more mobile (i.e. they move around the country with job changes, they don't live in the same place they grew up or went to college), are less religious, online dating makes the most sense for anyone who isn't a big drinker.
I'd expect that to apply equally to wealthier people too, but the inter-city gap disappears at higher income levels. Wealthy New Yorkers also walk a lot more than wealthy people in other countries.

Hey everyone,

I’m Pontus Abrahamsson, the creator of Fastlane. Fastlane makes it possible to book an Uber directly from your Mac.

I primarily built Fastlane because I love the process of developing products that I actually feel a need of in my own life but also because I love Uber. The project is fully open source on Github (https://github.com/pontusab/Fastlane) and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or ideas.

The analogy I use is how people go shopping in a neighboring state for lower sales taxes, or buy a house in an inconvenient place for lower property taxes.

Wealthier people are doing the same thing.

People get angry more so because they don't get the privilege to participate in those advantages. While simultaneously taking advantage of what they can.
The walking and the stairs. So many stairs. I don't know many friends who live in buildings with elevators, especially in the outer boroughs. We live in a four-story walk-up in Brooklyn, have stairs in our duplex to go to the second story/loft, and walk up and down subway stairs on a daily basis. So all those stairs plus generally walking everywhere around the city equals a lot more exercise on a daily basis than the average person (is my guess).

It's night and day versus growing up in Austin, where I drove everywhere, rarely used stairs, and walking consisted of taking out the garbage to the curb.

Actually, it reminds me of a "date" I had once in New York. One night I met a rich finance girl (from Craigslist!). It's a bit of a cliché, but when I left her luxurious penthouse and went back to my life, I couldn't help but think we lived in totally separate worlds!

The article agrees that this is the case: the dangers of sugar used to be orthodoxy, but around the '70s is when sugar was de-emphasized in favor of fat to such a degree that low-carb proponents were labelled cranks.

You can argue the effectiveness of torture but this moral panic seems a bit too much in a world where we bomb and shoot people every day.

If you're otherwise fine with or at least accept war and its inevitable civilian casualties and the damage it does to people I don't see how you can be so against torture. Torture in that case is just a tool - you inflict violence to your enemies (instead of killing them) to potentially gain information.

ISPC produces tiny .o | .obj files and a header file, the integration has not been a hurdle that I can remember.

Here are the reasons why I don't believe you should have written your comment:

* You falsely (implicitly) assert expertise on a topic (nutrition) to which you've had no actual training.

* You believe "just a comment on HN" doesn't deserve your full effort.

* You elevate yourself above the level of an ambiguous group of "others", without any evidence or actual reason for doing so.

* Your actual content comes without any citation or reasoning. You expect others to simply "take your word for it", or worse, do their own research, which you've given zero helpful information to help guide, other than random statements about nutrition.

* You overvalue your personal experience, while simultaneously undervaluing the research/experience/knowledge of others.

My contribution to this discussion is to point out to others your distinct lack of actual knowledge, despite your insistence on passing yourself off as an "expert"-- no, sorry, you said you're not an expert, just a guy who's "done a lot of independent research" (whatever that means).

I realize this comes off as harsh, but please realize, I don't know you, and am not making a value judgement of you as a person, just on what you've written here in the last hour or so. I'd bet you're not like this all the time, this just wasn't a very well thought out conversation.

The number is their arbitrary summary of the "facts" contained in the report for easy digestion. If you feed in the same facts to the algorithm over and over, you'll get the same number over and over. Notably, the number has no intrinsic value -- every lender everywhere uses it to score creditworthiness, yes, but it's the lenders who do that. The agencies give them a number and say "do what you will with this information."

I'm the first in line to say the system is horribly broken. I spent years cleaning up inaccuracies on my reports in order to buy a house. Credit reporting is opaque, unfair, and inaccuracies are nearly impossible to correct. It's what makes me wary of automation controlling everything -- manual underwriting used to be a thing, but now almost all of it is automated based on arbitrary numbers and reports that may or may not be true, with no good way to ensure accuracy.
but in most group scenarios there would be some people exerting much more influence than the others

Sure, but that is what is meant by group dynamics. And it usually isn't one dimensional.

What I'm saying is that the alpha/beta modeling of this is lazy and misleading, and better avoided.

A very few politicians and a very few CEOs meet a useful definition of alpha, in my opinion. Your point about rank affecting influence is true, but I think irrelevant to my point.
And the sort of irony is that some of the best sweet stuff, for example Nougat or Nutella, is so because of fat.
The top 3000 also benefit from a much greater percentage of the assets of the national economy than the millions at the bottom, so that seems entirely fair.

Some people are so rich they don't even appear on the rich lists. I don't know how much tax they pay, but I suspect it isn't much.

Generally, if you can literally fit the people who own most of the economic assets of a country into a small hall, you have a serious democratic deficit.

There's another problem with credit that can be as difficult as bad credit, and that is no credit. I have plenty of money so no real need for credit, especially credit cards.

They lobby the government on their own behalf. You know who else does that? Everyone. That is how democracy works. No one blames a middle class person for supporting a candidate who plans to cut taxes on the middle class. Why do we blame the upper class for doing the same?

Like I said, you can have a problem with the magnitude of influence they have and I think we should move to reduce that magnitude. But you are being biased if you simply have a problem with the fact they do have influence.

I break into your bank's website and leak all the usernames and passwords -- I can be prosecuted for the break in but not be responsible for the consequences of leaking the login credentials? It's OK for me to publish a front page article claiming you're a convicted rapist, even if that's not true?

By your logic, you'd have plenty of profit to spare, and you'd be providing an enormous social good.

But my guess is that you will not do this. And you will not do this because your analysis of their margins and business is not actually correct, and you and everyone else in the market knows this.

Obviously the rich and poor don't have identical existences anywhere, but in New York there's a lot more commonality between the existences (everyone taking the subway, for example).

2. The same credit reports more often for a fee

3. At any point where they are denied financing due to negative items on their credit report, regardless of the last time they accessed their free report
