Why Deep Learning matters
Your body is not a bomb calorimeter. If you're looking to thermodynamics to explain weight loss or gain you'll be disappointed.

The title to this article is very manipulative and misleading.

Weight loss seems to be a mysterious science to the everyday man and woman, but is well known by most top athletes and has been for many years.

It is simple chemistry. The calories you eat are stored in fat, which is comprised of O, H and C. Roughly ~3500 calories will become one pound of bodyfat. By this logic, yes you can eat less calories and lose weight. If you are burning 2500 calories per day, and you opt to eat only 2000 calories per day you should lose aprox. 1 lb of body fat per week (500 * 7 = 3500).

On the other hand, exercise is very important in weight loss. Muscle mass is expensive to maintain, and every lb of muscle mass can take 30-50 cals per day just to maintain. This increases your daily calories burned, allowing you to eat more food w/o weight gain or keep the same food and lose weight.

Additionally, when you exercise and convert the fat to energy the fat is released in various forms of O, H and C. Most of it is breathed out, and some comes out in liquid form. This is literally weight you are losing. Each atom has a molecular weight, be it O, H or C. And if you want to do the math you can figure out how much weight you are losing per exercise per hour.

The reason some people believe low carb diets are the best for weight loss, is directly tied to exercise. Quickly avail. energy known as glycogen is stored in your muscles and used up before fat. It is created from carbohydrates. Without glycogen in your muscles, you will burn fat first.
Screen vs. paper: what is the difference for reading and learning?
Worked as a .net dev for ~3 years, and I loved VS, but it had its share of random problems too. I remember it flipping out and suddenly consuming a shitload of CPU and RAM for no apparent reason, even working on fairly small projects. It was nearly impossible to work with it until I switched to a more powerful PC.

Is it really fair to say xCode is not a successful tool? A lot of people use it, and I don't hear enough complains about it.

And what is the most common tool for Android development? I assumed it'd be Android Studio by now, is everyone still on Eclipse?

At some point, I think it becomes less about "worth" and more about doing the right thing. Is it fair that everyone who bought that device is left holding a worthless chunk of plastic because of the inscrutable whims of various SV tech giants?

If not for reams of legalese nobody reads and yet has to agree to in order to even hook the thing up, it would probably already be illegal in some way.
Can someone else confirm to me that I'm not crazy and the central distinction of this article is totally bogus?

Reasoning: BitCoin isn't, to my knowledge, a scheme where some private identifier is stored inside each "coin" whose ownership is revealed with a zero-knowledge proof; it's simply one where you have public and private keys and use those private keys to sign transactions saying "Take X1 out of my public key K1 and put X2 in public key K2, with X1 - X2 going to the miner." That is, BitCoins themselves, as I understand them, are just points in a big distributed videogame: they do not represent actual packets of data which are individually 'minted' in mining and stored on your computer until you spend them.

If that's correct, then there's no distinction if you tumble-via-miners versus tumble-via-tumblers -- either way the coins are 'freshly minted'; there's simply no other sort of coin.

The only real thing that you seem to be able to do here is to tumble via both the tumblers and the miners, which might create some binary tree of complexity if someone tries to "follow the money" -- but that doesn't seem to be what the author is saying.

Is there legitimately something in each coin which makes it easier to follow a given bitcoin via tumbling than through miner-money-laundering, or are they really just the same thing performed through different channels, with a much slower rate of success for the MML tumbling?

Alternatively you can just set up a different gmail account for each. Then just add the account to your gmail app on your android phone, and it will automatically check all the accounts.
The other thing that the article doesn't address is how much weight you gain in muscle when you exercise. When I go from out-of-shape to back-in-shape, I know that I've increased my muscle mass as well as loosing fat. That doesn't show on the scale but it definitely is what I'm going for.

Also, increasing your muscle is going to increase your resting metabolic rate. So, as you exercise and get stronger, you'll burn more calories while resting. (this probably only holds for men who build muscle when they work out. if you're a marathon runner who's rail thin, I don't think you'll burn much fat at all while resting.)

Unlikely to work. Required lurking means lack of participation and thus lack of learning.

My counter suggestion is to encode the culture you desire in to the function of the site.
You shouldn't exercise to lose weight, because for most people you shouldn't be aiming primarily to lose weight; weight loss should be a component of the broader goal of improving overall health. For which you probably should exercise, regardless of whether it's optimal for the narrower goal of weight loss.

I've never heard of a device that wouldn't even let you install a different launcher.

You are aware that your "desktop" is a separate app right? And like your keyboard, you can install replacements. I use this [1] launcher and it lets me turn off that Google search bar.

I don't mean to be condescending, but either you have an incredibly locked down device, more so than I've ever heard of, or you're just understandably unaware of that aspect of Android.

Upper: Magic-Free ORM-Like Package for Go
The author of this article acknowledges the possibility that the polls could just be wrong, but gets tripped up when the Republican polls seem to be more accurate than the Democratic polls -- and then concludes that the only explanation must be fraud.

I think what's really going on is that older voters and younger voters behave differently, affecting the accuracy of the polls for one set of voters more than the other.
"The education in popular culture around exercising presents it as a magic pill, as being a major driving force behind weight loss. You see this on magazine covers and on tv, "belly fat exercises", "toning exercises""

There's def some of that going on, but there's also a fair amount of fad diets - atkins, south beach, paleo etc etc popping up here and there.

The fact that you get the 6 pack by dieting and not by doing crunches is common knowledge in the "lifting community", on the flip side - lifting when dieting is also important to maintain body comp.

And then of course there's the obvious fact that "losing weight" != "losing fat" which makes articles like this not only click-baity but also bordering on being misinformative.
Yes. Poor form to drag others into this, especially naming people who have asked not to be named. Also, it's a bit asymmetric as the company isn't in a position to defend itself.

If a company lets you go, you shouldn't ever expect to go back unless you're invited.

I do appreciate and respect the author's honesty about the personal issues he encountered along the way. I hope that he gets his health in order, and finds happiness in his next role.

Paleontology is often tied to construction. A locale may require a paleontological survey during construction. So as the earth is dug up someone will be onsite to monitor for fossil remains.

If some are found then construction could be halted while the fossils are removed.

The same is also true of archaeology - you just don't usually need dig as deep to find artifacts.
I suspect neither of us know. I am simply pointing out that you're shooting in the dark here.
Voting machines are black boxes which by nature are incompatible with one fundamental principle of democracy: transparency.

This is a major issue because even if the fraud is unproven, voters can legitimately be concerned about the accuracy of how votes are being counted.

That said, some statistical analysis research have shown a strong probability of votes being flipped by electronic machines in past elections. Here is the original research paper: http://madisonvoices.com/pdffiles/2008_2012_ElectionsResults...
> Perhaps one of the reasons this aggregate category of "women" doesn't want "these jobs" is because of an expectation of harassment or bias on the job. It's kind of hard to want to progress anywhere that is openly or passively aggressive towards you.

Sure, perhaps. While we are throwing out guesses, perhaps it is because women consider other things in life more of a priority than achieving career power.

When asked to rate their life priorities, women tend to put a lower ratio of work related goals. Cultural influences teach men and women to prioritize different things in their life. That's probably a bigger gender problem worth tackling.

> I don't think "they just don't want the jobs" should be considered the end of the story or any sort of proof that sexism isn't happening.

Definitely, which is why I said "I'm not going to argue that this accounts for it entirely".

> All this study says is that it doesn't manifest in the particular, limited region surrounding compensation, which is by far not the sum total of the employment experience.

Also true for sure, but the original article posted by OP is about compensation, and I never suggested that the study covered the totality of workplace experiences.
> Do you not have control over your life if proprietary pants software cools your legs when it's hot?

Do you have the source code to firmware on the chip in the pants? Can you install a custom version? That would be consistent with the FSF's viewpoint. They want the user to have full access and control over the software he uses in all devices he uses.
Good essay, but I think Atwood overreaches here in trying to find the root psychological cause of online hostility. People can leave comments like "junkie" because the technology enables them to deliver such a comment effortless and with virtually zero- repercussion. In the "junkie" example, it turned out to be a father [0] (as far as public Facebook searching can discern)...but as far as I can tell, there's nothing that backs Atwood's assertion here:

> This man left the junkie comment because he is afraid. He is afraid his own children could become drug addicts. He is afraid his children, through no fault of his, through no fault of anyone at all, could die at 30. When presented with real, tangible evidence of the pain and grief a mother feels at the drug related death of her own child, and the reality that it could happen to anyone, it became so overwhelming that it was too much for him to bear.

It'd be nice if there really were deep and dramatic reasons for people's seemingly inexplicable behavior. But the reason could just be that this guy -- who happens to be a father (but correlation is not causation) -- is just a bored and callous type who has access to the Internet. In a pre-internet era, this father would just be bored and callous in his own limited network. Just because he can now spread and amplify it worldwide with a few taps on a phone doesn't amplify the root cause.

I worked at a newspaper in the years in which phone calls from readers were almost as common as emails. People who called in to complain were generally much nicer and calmer than they were when they were greeted with an answering machine -- it's much easier to rant off to a machine than it is to someone who greets you sincerely with "Hello". With email, the sender is always interacting with a non-responsive/interactive recipient...moreover, it takes much less effort to to send an email than it does to look up and dial someone's phone number from your (wired) phone. So the people who called in had greater reason and depth-of-reason to complain. Whereas with email, it could just be anyone who wanted to vent or troll.

On the other hand, I found that when I responded in length to people's emails, even the rudest ones, I'd usually get a much lengthier email that included some measure of gratitude that I took the time to hear them out.

With commenting forms, you now have even less effort required for people to leave feedback, and fewer personalized ways to respond. The kind of people who leave glib "junkie" comments would have never done that by phone, regardless of what deep-rooted psychological fears they may be harboring.

> Aim for a hard speed limit (maybe the actual speed limit).

That's not gonna work. Depends on the day, the time, the weather, rain, fog etc. Some days, traffic flows at 70 on 405 during rush hour. If you go the legal speed limit you will be the dangerous blockage that makes everyone else down, and makes a few people unnecessarily grumpy. Other days it's misty because the water on the road gets stirred up by all the trucks. It's impossible to go the speed limit on these days, the flow is going 45.

There is no hard rule, except: go with the flow. SEE the traffic. BE the traffic. Do not FIGHT the traffic.
Interesting. It really depends on what you value. I can imagine that many people value sex over productivity.

Perhaps they are interested in defending against sniffing further along the line (ISP, backbone) or are just making the change as part of the general strategy to encourage HTTPS use? While I see your concern about inconveniencing smaller players, LetsEncrypt exists now, and there are definitely mid- and large-sized players that I would like to see pushed in the direction of HTTPS exclusivity.

I think the study partially addressed this when they asked different participants to describe and rate their life goals. Men tend to consider workplace-related success as more important in their life:

"In studies 1 and 2, when asked to list their core goals in life, women listed more life goals overall than men, and a smaller proportion of their goals related to achieving power at work."
And if the interviewer will be satisfied with "Oh, this looks like an X kind of problem. I'd just google that and go from there", fair enough.
These sorts of mistakes happened when I was trading options more than a decade ago. In most transactions, such a confirmation would have cost money on every transaction since speed matters.

Back in the old days, I feel the broker would have gone to the market makers, said there was an error, and gotten out of the trade.

Yes, two weeks don't help at all. You are halfway through and already can count the days until stress begins again.

I had two burnouts and both took me 2 to 3 months of doing nothing to recover from. I did nothing but have breakfast, watch TV, sleep, have lunch, watch TV, sleep, have dinner, watch TV, sleep. I was not back to normal after these 2 to 3 months, I was only at a level where I could go out and see friends again and think about a real holiday.

I barely avoided burnout 3 by leaving the continent and diving into a completely different culture for more than a year. But here also, the first 2 months were just relaxing. Sitting on rooftops in Fez' medina, at Moroccan beaches or in the desert - always doing nothing more than watching the day pass by.
