I'd say 1000 calories is a little much, but I think the original point here still stands. I don't have nutrition facts sitting right in front of me, but I do know often times cereal is given in very small quantities, like 130 calories per 3/4 cup. I'd say I used to eat around 3 cups of cereal each morning, so that's 520 calories not counting milk and OJ. The Milk is usually 1 cup, about 110 calories I believe. And 2 cups of OJ is probably around 220. That's 850 calories. It's not entirely inconceivable, and by the given math (which I haven't vetted) that's 8.5 miles still...

I won't grant that it has utility, but that's from my ignorance. It might have utility; I don't know and am not qualified to say.

The argument used matters to me, because if tomorrow it's proven that torture works, I still believe that civilized nations should be against it. If we hinge the argument on its utility, then when we lose that premise we lose the argument.

Nope. Poor people in densely populated areas with strong public transportation networks are going to be able to get medical care more easily than poor people in less densely populated areas.

In fact, the poor people in the US with the highest death rates are those living in the rural US and in and around small cities.

My guess would be more along the lines that people who walk/subway are generally more fit than those who take a car everywhere. NYC doesn't have a lot of fat people in general. (though it's worse than it used to be)
> Did you get any lab tests done before and after starting the diet? If you did, how did the results compare?

Only my normal annual blood test. Cholesterol was down after the diet, everything else was pretty much unchanged. We never caught the stone for analysis, but the diet was pinned as the most likely cause. To be fair, I don't have enough data to say it was the diet for certain, only correlations that people who go on Keto have a higher incidence of stones than those who don't.
Actually, many primary campaigns were funded by public money. There was an interesting episode of Planet Money recently [0] where they talked to Senator Fred Harris who got the US system started. A few years after getting it going, he used public funds to run against Jimmy Carter for the 1976 nomination by the Democrats. He lost to Carter and then Carter used public funds to run his presidential campaign against Ford. But Harris got ~$600,000.00 to run his nomination campaign.

I grew up in a family of 4 (3 adults) who lived off of a single unemployment check and food stamps for 3 years. Multiple people I knew in high school have been shot in gang related activities. I was friends with people who sold drugs to pay their parent's rent.

You really have no idea what you're talking about.

When you're poor and you don't want to be poor anymore, you choose to do things that give you financial security. Drug dealers turn into accountants. Kids who want to get in and out of college in 4 years choose to go into computer science. People who's 'natural' (which is a completely irrelevant factor) interests are reading books get into graph theory.

Interests being innate is a huge fallacy that people who have not had to handle situations like this believe.

My guess is that the most people are fine with 5mbps and very few went for gigabit service. They could have reduced speeds to 256kbps to encourage people to sign up for faster service. 256kbps is the ITU definition of broadband.

I personally love the idea of using a blockchain to send anonymous, encrypted messages.

I tried out BitMessage I think it was, a while back; I think a stripped-down lightweight version of it would be very useful.

Maybe with a Web browser doing encryption, decryption in-browser (already Tutanota etc. do this). Not sure as to the the other pieces that would need to be deployed.
That's not at all clear. The anti-obesity and anti-smoking campaigns, and the sheer walkability of New York compared to Detroit, mean you will face less pressure toward obesity and cardiovascular disease. Just moving there really might mean you live longer.

Shareholders and directors paying that money out of personal wealth. To be honest, I don't know whether it actually was a bargain, but it probably is. Goldman seem to make vast sums of money and routinely factor in 11 digit legal bills as a matter of course. They appear to break the law knowing that their eventual bill will be considerably less than their overall profits and even better - no one has to go to jail.
I mean, it's just a comment on HN, I'm not writing a scientific journal article.

Everything I stated in the original comment is information I have gathered and learned about over the years. Most people haven't read any books about nutrition and how the body works, where I have done a lot of independent research. So I probably know a little bit more about this stuff than the average person. I'm not saying I'm an expert by any stretch, but I'm sure a lot of people on HN could find this information useful, and a good starting point for their own independent research.

And no, I can't site the sources directly, but if you have any specific points you'd like to point as being "errors", feel free to do so, as I'm sure others would be interested.

Like any internet forum, you can always put your opinion in. However you have seemed to only attack my comment, rather than providing any real retort.

...or maybe the term is used by folks trying to look more humble than they are. When people use the term 1%, they don't think they're IN it - they compare things nationally or globally depending on when it suits their argument.

If you're bringing Africa into the argument, then by the nature of your (global) argument, you are in the 1% if you make more than $32,400 USD (or equivalent). Some people just don't want to accept that FACT.

Purely anecdotal, sample of one, thing: Eating anything raw feels like free safe guard. Fiber and other nutrients quickly feel bad, your mouth say stop. You rarely eat two apples in a row and wants 2 more. Same for veggies. I believe 90% of cooking is pleasure driven (other than eating / roasting things a bit which helps your stomach apparently) and is detrimental.
An interesting opinion on torture came from Slavoj Zizek. He was commenting on a movie called "Zero Dark Thirty" which brought torture to a Hollywood audience.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B57bdjIxfQ0

His point was that torture should be so abhorrent, that it should be in the same category as rape. Even by discussing it and debating the benefits or downside of it, we've lost quite a bit of ground in a civilized society.

For example nobody debates or discusses the trade-off of rape. It is obvious anyone who advocates for it is mentally ill, or vile and is shunned by others.

But merits of torture now are open for debate. Maybe it does find terrorist, maybe it works, or, like in this movie "Oh but see, it affects the torturers just as much, so they are suffering too, they feel guilty too, don't blame them too much ..." and so on.

Now clearly we've lost that battle because we've already engaged in it.
Hooboy...not exactly the vehicle I'd pick as an exemplar of domestic mfr. attention to assembly detail. It used to be that the bits on a Wrangler (or CJ-5, CJ-7 etc.) that were made out of steel or iron would be reliable; the rest of it-well, pray that it was built on a Wednesday.

> I've lost about 100lbs in 2.5 years...

Not all of us are trying to lose weight. I'm trying to maintain my weight and sometimes that involves forcing myself to eat.
The people who continue to use the inexact figure is who. Why was 1% chosen and not 10% or 0.01% for that matter? And "railing against" != confusion. If enough people believe something, certain people in that group can do some pretty messed up shit without exactly "railing" first.

Confusion might not be the best word, but we should avoid perpetuating the notion that the entire 1% is to blame for average people not getting ahead.
> You wouldn't sue Google for listing a libelous search result

That's true, but they don't calculate a number about my creditworthiness. It's the number that would be the problem.

If the agencies only passed information on I could see them maybe being allowed to pass, but since they calculate a number, they are now presenting new, inaccurate, information. They have a responsibility to verify the accuracy of their data if they are going to create new data from it.

Logically I would expect the same though I do not know what was the tax system like in 1999, but it actually doesn't change much:

I wish I had gotten into that scene a decade ago. It occurred to me too late that it was a real easy way to get a 'feel' for women and you'll easily interact with quite a few women in the course of a night (even with my shyness, although it was still a little tough). Feel as in, you can see how well the move and interact with you, and it sort of gives you some insight on their personality.
> But everyone knows credit scores and degrees make a difference.

I agree with the rest of your comment, but how exactly do degrees make a difference?
I started taking a probiotic and strangely lost all sugar cravings. I can send you the brand if you want to try it. I'd be curious if others get the same effect.

Edit:
I got so many emails I guess I'll just post it here:

Probably within 24 hours I noticed the effect which makes me kind of skeptical, maybe it's some kind of placebo effect, but I've noticed it many times, and if I go off it, the sugar cravings come back within few weeks.

> the credit reporting agencies simply provided facts (reported to them by others) to the mortgage company, who made their own decision about your creditworthiness.

That's not true. They reported the information, and a number they came up with on their own. That's new information they created. It is their responsibility to verify any data they use to create that rating.
I think it's pretty clear that it's the reporter who is at fault. Your only defense is that it might be a mistake on their part - but that still puts them at fault.

Possibly legally too? IANAL
Exposure to infections does not make you stronger.

Immunity is highly specific. This is why the flu is a chronic problem, it mutates rapidly enough that exposure to previous generations of the virus does not confer immunity to current generations. Immunity is more like a collection of solutions to puzzles than it is a muscle.

Being infected while in a healthier state and thus gaining immunity with less risk might be beneficial later, but you can look at mortality statistics and see that while infections are a major cause of death, they aren't responsible for a large portion of deaths:

It provides a sentence and picture for decision making but only in the context "I would like to write to this person'. Conversation usually follows before you meet up with your match. I find this way more interesting than other dating apps. It is also much closer to real life dating. In real life you also don't know much before you approach the person for conversation.

On Tinder getting a match is really just a first minor step.

> I think close to 1000 is pretty common for breakfast. I used to eat Dunkin Donuts a lot and I would see people order a Bagel with Bacon, Egg and Cheese on it. That is 470 calories. A side of hash browns is another 140. And then top of it off with a donut (350~) and an a large ice coffee (170) and you are over 1000 (I took the calorie # from DD website).

This is not a normal breakfast for anyone except the hyperobese or the hyperathletic. A bagel with bacon, egg, and cheese, plus hashbrowns, plus a donut, plus a sugary coffee? Yes, some people eat that much all the time, and yes, many people will eat that much occasionally. I don't think it's a typical-sized breakfast for most people, though. Most people I know don't even eat breakfast, and when they do, a donut+coffee is more realistic for calorie count.

> Also a single serving of cereal is really small. Until I started using a food scale, I was routinely eating 2 servings of cereal (Multi-grain cheerios) which was about 250 calories.

Yeah, cereal servings are unrealistically small. But still, a realistic serving is more like 250, not 750.
Don't be too embarrassed! You actually did something and I quite like it - I've 100% seen (and probably built) a lot worse!

Forget monetary corruption: it was flat out political corruption. If anything the insurgent candidacies of Sanders and Trump show that being able to get media attention, raise money directly from the people, and in the case of Cruz (who is by no means a party favorite), raising money through super pacs, etc. Are a de-corrupting influence by opening up options outside of the anointed choices.

My bounced check fee is $30 from my landlord, $30 from my bank.

My late rent fee is $30.

My late utility fee is $5, but if I paid by a bounced check, that would be $35. In other cities, it could be much higher.

The fee for not paying a fine on time can be a weekend stint in jail, whereby you will get charged for room and board.

The fee for not being able to pay for car repairs is losing your job.

The fee for not paying for needed medical attention when you aren't on insurance (Which, despite obamacare, many poor people lack) can be crippling.

Poor people, in aggregate, aren't stupid - they wouldn't use payday loans if the alternatives weren't worse. Yes, it shifts the problem a month out, and puts you in debt for ~$100 dollars. So would juggling your missed payments (Meanwhile, giving you a black mark against your landlord).

That's still better then having the problem today. And who knows? Next month, you may be a millionaire. Or dead. Better worry about that next month.

If you want to kill payday loans, the best way to do that is by giving everyone a living wage/income.

But even if diet soda DID spike insulin (it doesn't), it would have nothing to do on a low-carb diet because your blood glucose is already very low.
So why increase your costs using data that has no appreciable correlation with what affects your bottom line?

Surprised the article doesn't try the hypothesis that the issue is access to high-quality hospitals and medical schools.

Detroit is a nice enough town (in parts) but I'd rather get sick in New York City.
I found that low-carb diets are way cheaper. There are two factors behind this (in my experience):

1) You eat way, way, way, way less food. I was intensely into keto at probably peak-appetite years (16 - 19 years old) and have since been maintaining a much lower basal carb intake (now 21 years old). A complete dinner used to be large pasta dishes with sausage, garlic bread, a few glasses of milk (I used to be a fanatic), etc., but in keto I'm totally satiated after two small salmon filets. Homefries, toast and a loaded three-egg omelet is actually less satiating for me than two fried eggs with some pepper, and I feel like crap after the former.

I do have a hard time with vegetables because I don't shop often enough for them not to go to waste, but I'll usually handle that with a salad for lunch.

2) In the event that you really do need to eat very cheaply (Ramen level cheap), you can do that too. I've had periods where I'd rely on string cheese, peanut butter, and eggs almost exclusively. Not proud of it, but better than boxes of pasta IMO.

If you put up with the initial withdrawals from sugar, "keto flu," you'll find that you'll eat less food and feel better.
So I wasn't the only one? That scene jerked me out of happy animation land and made me think of The Wire.
>Wealthy people are vilified for being wealthy even when they play by the rules.

Playing within the rules is irrelevant when you're the one who gets to write the rules.
For one data point, I do it for about $70 a week, $100 if I'm splurging (a couple nice cuts of steak or something.) During lean times, I have gotten it as low as 30 bucks, but I wouldn't recommend that.

One surprising expense on keto is Lite salt. Your body doesn't retain fluid in ketosis, you'll lose 5-10 pounds the first week in just that, and so you need to increase your sodium and potassium intake significantly compared to a non-ketogenic diet. Lite salt is absolutely perfect for that, being a 50/50 mix of potassium and sodium. It adds about 10 bucks to my grocery bill a month but it's definitely worth it especially when starting out, to avoid the dreaded keto flu.
