> I would like to see this in reputable studies, because everything I have read on the subject rejects the hypothesis that there is a physiological change in energy usage as a result of lowered intake. In fact, it a) doesn't make any sense since fat is supposed to be a store of energy for lean times and b) if the body could function at its current level on less energy, it would.

This is still talking about near starvation mode. People who stop menstruating and who grow lanugo are doing stuff that reduces their need for energy.

(I'm not sure it's accurate even for this extreme state though. Re-feeding is risky, but I don't know if "starvation mode" is part of the cause of that risk.)
Real gains in educational technology will come from mediating in-person social interactions (focused on knowledge building rather than general purpose interactions, of course).

In many instances, the teacher actually knows what should be done to improve the learning of a student - but is logistically constrained from providing that level of service (Bloom's 2 sigma problem). The low hanging fruit is removing those constraints.

We will need better tools for understanding the knowledge/abilities of our students in a much more refined manner.

I will be pretty happy if I see non-ES6 code if it is properly structured and documented well.

Nevertheless if I see people has just replaced `class` with `jQuery.extend` or with some other helper tool it would be a downside. Also we are talking about lodash vs native implementation.

I'd be curious if OP has a partner or roommate at home. When sleeping next to my spouse, I would venture there is some small level of stress associated with not wanting to roll into them, impede their movement, etc. Even just having someone else in the same apartment (different room) I recall being somewhat stressful.

When you go from sharing a bed or dwelling to having a whole distinct hotel room to yourself, it can be very mentally relaxing, in my experience. (At least in short intervals; obviously I prefer having someone there with me long term. Although some couples sleep in separate rooms and report very good results!) Interesting phenomenon for sure.

Thanks for sharing your specific numbers. My A1cs as a Type 1 Diabetic are usually in the low-to-mid 6s. My latest just a few months ago was 6.4. My doctor's happy with that, and described it as the levels typical of a pre-Diabetic. That seems pretty good to me, considering the constant attention I have to pay to it and the ease with which it can go badly.

I agree, but I feel extremely pessimistic that typical universities will willingly accept such credits (my simple assumption being thay most universities are aimed for profit). In fact, i think most universities are focused on creating their own MOOCs to replace their own 700+ student 100-level courses instead of working towards a common MOOC offerings.

Let's not forget that Sabu, while an informant for the FBI, supplied Jeremy Hammond with the 0day that he used to hack Stratfor et al.

No 0day, no Stratfor hack.
No FBI, no Stratfor hack.

Sometimes I wonder if penetrating other agencies and corporations was part of their gameplan. The FBI were entirely behind the formation of antisec.

Aside: Other interesting observation... The FBI and Apple seem to have an odd antagonistic relationship with one another. One of the Antisec hacks was against an FBI laptop that caused the release of millions of Apple users' data. The FBI was recording and debriefing Sabu every day. How did they allow that to happen?

I skipped to the end of that process. Called ETrade to cancel. They said it cost money to cancel! That's why they had a minimum balance - so they could steal it when you tried to quit.

An ENT may be able to help if it's a physical problem. Tongue placement at the roof of your mouth is paramount though. It will help open the nasal sinus. If you can't put your tongue up there, you may be tongue tied, and can look into a frenectomy to untie it. A myofunctional therapist will then help you learn how to properly strengthen and hold your tongue in the right place, as well as swallow properly.

It might sound crazy, but mouth breathing is linked to ADHD and all kinds of issues, likely due to lower nitric oxide levels and less stimulation of the pituitary gland. Expect the field to grow in the next decade. Lots of us are now having problems because of the reduction of breast feeding, amongst other things.

Maybe I'm overestimating the potential success, but it staggers me that Google only released their Pixel laptops with ChromeOS.

Definitely consider zoneminder. I've used it with Foscam and Crenova ip cameras with good results. The cameras I got were $30 for a basic dome and $70 for a pan-tilt.

However, if you do decide to go this route I would be prepared to put all of the cameras on a separate network without access to the internet or the rest of the lan. They are literally little linux machines that shouldn't be trusted. Setup a firewall that ensure they can only connect to the zoneminder server.
The purpose of Pixel is to be a "top of the line" product for their operating system.

I moved from Perl to Python a few years ago. While I preferred the cleverness that Perl allowed me to do, I often found that I would shoot myself in the foot by being too clever too early.

The hard part in building a two-sided market is getting users AND buyers on your platform. This generally means epic shit-tons of brand marketing to end users, which is where a lot of those millions of VC dollars go. There's really no way to get brand recognition otherwise -- you have to spend some ad dollars to inform users of your product. Ad spend is a zero-sum game from a competitive lens, so if your competitors are out-advertising you, they're going to win. And yes, this is why companies tackling two-sided markets focus on user acquisition over profitability.

You were also trying to fix the wrong problem. Focusing on the user experience is the right call, but your mistake was saying "fuck this, the distributor model is so fucked we can't do it". Ok, if the supply chain of a specific industry is super-expensive, your business model should be to streamline it by going direct and undercutting everyone else (this is what Uber did).

You needed to build a new distribution model. It's fair to say "I'm a college student and don't have time to fix this big problem" -- which is fair, supply chain problems like this are usually best left to people with experience in them or at least a passion for solving them.
I don't think Google is really interested in providing that, though. I doubt they make a lot of money on the hardware - it's all about the software, mindshare for ChromeOS.

I also think you overestimate how popular a machine like that would be. Dell offers Ubuntu laptops and they certainly haven't taken over the planet.

I couldn't imagine doing something like this in the Philippines, which I'm guessing is much like Indonesia.

Nobody has credit cards to buy anything online. Credit card alternatives haven't gained traction. People use cheap alternatives to Western Union to send money.

Nobody surfs the web except at internet cafes. And at internet cafes it's either FB or homework. Nobody aimlessly browses when they are dishing out money every hour.

Nobody uses apps. Even those with smart phones only use FB, Instagram, games and a handful of other messaging apps. Even if they did want to use apps, cheap smart phones are out of resources after installing FB and the rest of the above mentioned.

No matter the phone, everyone uses SMS.

The postal system is shady. I never order anything online. I don't even have a proper address. I don't know how the postal system is able to deliver anything.

There are exceptions to all of the above and these are likely your target market since they likely have money. But this is a small percentage.

And speaking of money. Nobody has that either.

I noticed the post mentions there are tons of Instagram shops. I have no experience with this, but the number of shops seems irrelevant to me. Anyone can start an Instagram shop, post pictures once in a while and largely be invisible. It seems that much more important would be the above logistical issues which would also be important in Indonesia.

I imagine people selling through Instagram are much like the street vendors. They see no problem with being the 4th guy within an hour trying to sell you the exact same things as the 3 guys ahead of him while you are trying to eat a meal and drink some beers. They just don't try very hard. But any money beyond whatever income they have is better than nothing.

A place like the Philippines is all about improvisation. I don't see how you could improve much on the Instagram / FB shop model. In the vast majority of cases, there is probably nothing there to improve because there is no activity. For those who do get it to work, it's probably good enough.
Perhaps you think you sleep better camping because you are usually so tuckered out from walking around in the outdoors.

My local paper does the same thing. Didn't realize this was their new strategy and that the billing department was not incompetent. They will send fake bills ahead of time with higher rates and say that my previous weeks have run out but my wife keeps everything logged and sets them straight everytime. Also long as you are willing to "play chicken" to cancel the service, they are willing to renegotiate to your terms (just like Comcast.)

Ask HN: Do wellness incentives help employers save money on taxes and insurance?
Trying to understand how wellness incentives work -- What's in it for employers, from a monetary benefit standpoint? Do they save up on taxes or insurance costs? (If yes, how does it work?)
The point being that there is going to depend heavily on the specifics of the situation, so it's dangerous to generalize.

That is certainly true. I do think a few people here seem to be taking a rather narrow interpretation of when services have been provided, though.

Say you sign up for access to an on-line newspaper, but then as it happens you're busy and don't actually read it. The newspaper still had reporters writing stories, and servers and Internet bandwidth to pay for, and admin staff dealing with the tax records triggered by your subscription, and so on. I don't see why someone should necessarily expect to get back their money under those circumstances.

Perhaps a more obvious example would be an insurance policy. For obvious reasons, you can't get a refund at the end of the period of insurance just because in practice you didn't need to make a claim.

Whenever I've been putting terms and conditions together for a new service, the lawyers always seem very careful about exactly what constitutes offer and acceptance to form the contract, when provision of services starts, how the agreement can be ended and any terms that survive termination, and other details like that.

Yeah, this just about describes 90% of mobile apps.

Every time I install a new game I have to go through the process of blocking every way it tries to pry in. Fortunately XPrivacy does a pretty good job of it. But without something like it, you're submitting by default to about a half dozen crash handlers, mobile app statistics tools, ad networks and more for every app you launch. You might think I'm exaggerating, but try using XPrivacy and you'll see - it's really that bad.

Let's all accept a depressing fact: effective cyber-security places all of us in a state of perpetual war. You cannot learn from your enemy without invasive action, and you cannot test your capabilities without constantly attacking your adversaries, whether they know it or not. We cannot simply fork their nation's Github repo and try out zero-days in a safe and isolated environment.

We shouldn't be so quick to rail against government zero-day stockpiling. It is likely that other branches of government are using these flaws for their own means to monitor foreign states and other entities. If we give up that power we risk crippling our offensive capabilities more than we might stand to gain by having a stronger defense.

I cannot vouch for one side or the other. I am not a senior intelligence official and I do not have all the facts.
