A scale with wifi was where I started. I downplayed it before but simply measuring kept me thinking about it and once I started losing weight the graphs served like nothing else as reinforcement. Well, not quite. Sites like Weilos helped me feel like even small steps were possible. The biggest jump so far was the combination of discovering MyFitnessPal, Apple Watch exercise calorie monitoring and joining a budget gym within walking distance. The app, and CICO turned it into a numbers game. I was amazed at how many calories were in movie theatre popcorn. But I did have a takeaway from this article, combined with seeing my own results slightly plateau -- it's key that MyFitnessPal is calibrated as much as possible to your resting calories. Or you might find yourself having banked exercise calories and wanting to "spend" them like a savings account. It doesn't actually work that way. Food qualities then play a role. Still figuring that one out for myself though...
I don't know about refunded, but i did in fact get rebooked (free of charge) onto a later connecting flight after exactly that happened to me. I don't know if that's something you can count on, though -- especially if it's the first flight and not a connection you miss...
Seeing different keyboards in Android makes me think of the faith Google had in their developers compared with how little faith Apple had in their developers. The competition among keyboard applications and improvements brought by such a 'simple' application segment is truly boggling.

Before Android, I would have thought Google's way as the Winodws or *nix. I was wrong. Google was able to bring something new in terms of application development and ecosystem freedom that even Apple is forced to adopt.
I'm finding that most of the weight loss strategies people talk about are really calorie-reduction mechanisms. Intermittent fasting, keto, carb-free, paleo, all generally boil down to "eat less and maybe exercise".

The "eat less" part is caloric, really, not by volume, so vegetables are better than most for eating. I'm not saying those plans are bad - a scheme that works is a good scheme. It's interesting to see how they all come together.

It would be fun to implement it to take advantage of the benefits that a restricted natural language would bring, like Attempto [0]. That would allow you to really automate the evaluation of hypotheses against new data points. You might be able to wedge a SAT solver in there as well. I've got it on the ever growing todo list.

Did you build Austin? What constitutes a "local"? No one anywhere in America (or anywhere on Earth that I'm aware of) is required to pay a "foreigner tax" for moving into another city within the same country, which they are already a citizen of. Everything is supply and demand, everything is a push and pull. If Austin is bursting at the seams, it will take a few years for investment and policies to relax it. If Austin starts to empty out, slowly the city will shrink. The ebbs and flows of change are always happening, nothing is constant, everything is in motion. Austin is better served by attracting people than it is by pushing people away.

This is some incredibly bizarre reasoning from the T editor:

I say this not as an excuse, but she is, separately from her husband, a billionaire (making her through marriage a billionaire twice over) and for that reason I think I failed to consider any monetary conflict in her case.

She assumes that rich people have no 'monetary conflict' [of interest]? What?

Simple physics analysis

Almost all of the energy we get from food is used to heat our bodies, mostly indirectly via our liver, spleen and brain. [ https://www.boundless.com/physics/textbooks/624/work-and-ene... ]

A 40 degC person exposed to 0 degC air would lose heat at twice the rate of normal (40 degC person in 20 degC air). That's because convective heat flow rate is roughly proportional to temperature difference. All that heat has to be made up for by the body's metabolism. So you would burn calories at nearly twice the rate you would normally. It doesn't matter if it comes from brown fat, shivering, waste heat from your brain, or some other process, as long as it's internal to your body, it's taking energy that would otherwise not have been used.

A shower in 0 degC water could be on the order of 100 times more effective than 0 degC air, so you could get the same value from a shorter exposure. [ http://www.engineersedge.com/heat_transfer/convective_heat_t... ]

A cold shower for a couple of minutes a day (0.1 % of your life) would be equivalent to cold air for a couple of hours (10% of your life). That's about 10% more energy used than otherwise. So it sounds like even from a simple heat transfer perspective, cold showers must be effective at losing weight, as long as you don't compensate for that some other way like feeling more hungry afterwards :P
Isn't that true of every language ever? Surely Lua was in that position when it was young. That just doesn't sound like a reasonable objection to anything that's young
Given my own, and many of my friends, calling ourselves some variation on your friend's self-described political views, I think he's being pre-emptively, jokingly snarky, in order to fend off the kind of judgement implicit behind your, "Make of that what you will," from coming into the conversation. If he calls himself a "pinko" or whatever, he's taken its use as an epithet off the table.

That's no small part of why my friends and I do that, anyway.
More and more I think call tracing is a core process of programming, and am re-architecting the code I write to be easily traceable.

I feel like this approach of using layer-cake architectures where you function call has to plumb through a dozen layers that you didn't write and then trying to make sense of that with data analytics is the wrong approach.

Instead, I have been ditching layer-cake libraries for vertically integrated libraries that do one thing and take full responsibility for it. This requires architecting your application in a different way... it generally means more boilerplate. Libraries do the heavy lifting, but no sexy DSLs that turn your boilerplate into terse method chains and such.

But the ability to simply put a breakpoint anywhere in the system and have the stack be a good representation of which pieces of code are doing something right now vs just hanging around because this-kind-of-thing might need that-kind-of-interface later on.

We think that this is a process problem vs a technology problem at first. We're trying to distill the client's ideas into a wedding brief that can be viewed by vendors. Vendors then upload a proposal on Google docs (initially), that allow for comments by the couple. We allow the couple to iterate with the vendors and we go from there. We're trying our best to not just blindly build out tech, but to really focus on on boarding clients/vendors, then build technology around the bottle necks. We're experimenting right now.
Who owns code developed before working for company X?
A former member of my team used some java code of his own in one of our company's projects. The code comes in the form of JAR libraries and it is currently running in production.
When the guy left, he took the code with him, saying that it didn't belong to the company because it had been developed before coming to work for us.
Does he has the right to do this?

TL;DR Talk to your CPA.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. That's a bad job on my part.

ISOs have a chance of pushing you into AMT land. If you exercise ISOs, and the FMV is different than the exercise price, then you should consult with a CPA to find out if you have a tax liability.

When I was in this situation I had a CPA project my taxes for the current year. It turned out that my taxes under the traditional system were more than under AMT, so I didn't have to worry. But this easily could not be the case if the spread is sufficiently large.
As an immigrant who lived in south(NC), midwest(Colorado) & west(CA), each of the regions are very unique. In south most people greet you & nod at strangers while walking on streets. I got used to this habit & in midwest/west when i nod, many times it will be met with blank stares. Some of my friends who nodded out of practice in India got into hilarious situations where people became suspicious. Overall my impression is Americans of all ages/sex are very outgoing (except for young women who probably are afraid of getting unwanted attention) when compared to people in Europe/India/China.

Do we need more proof? The Internet is broken. A few months back there were protests against government in my country (also in South America). That day I witnessed how Twitter images were selectively blocked. (I remember reporting it here on HN). What was really scary is how they could select the pictures/videos to block, almost in realtime. Here we have about 5 ISPs serving 95% of the market (counting both mobile and landline) and all hook to a couple of bigger pipes to move ALL Internet traffic in/out of the country.

Try as I might but can't understand why we do not break free from centralized communications, given that we already have both the hardware and software technology to do so.

I like an old saying: when banging your head against a stonewall, you will always break the head and never the wall. So, what do we gain from discusing politics? What do we gain with laws written on paper but bent for the best bidder? Let's be pragmatic, in particular on a site like HN. We shouldn't be talking about the law, whether it is right or wrong, we should be discusing how many nodes do we need on a mesh network to solve communications for a city like Sao Paulo. Is the tech there yet? Can it get there? Who's advancing on these subjects? How can we help? (like really help not writting useless letters to congressmen)

Don't bang your head on the stonewall...

That seems far too high based on my own experience and that of my coworkers. Depending on their level of exercise, slender men at my office tend to fall somewhere between 1500 an 2000 daily calories, with 1500 being the 6' guy who doesn't do any exercise.

Yes, we compared notes.

HIPPA stands for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act. The "Privacy" component of HIPPA is very limited in scope. Even with HIPPA the data being shared would be consistent with definition of "Limited" dataset.[0] At least in United States there is significant precedent for sharing such data, including even for marketing purposes as decided by Supreme Court case (IMS Health vs Sorrell).

While I can appreciate the annoyance when people take a discussion off-topic, in a threaded forum like Reddit, you always have the option of just clicking the little 'close' button and collapsing a comment and all of its children. This is really the beauty of threaded comments; it lets people have their sidebar conversations in detail, without permanently dragging the discussion there. Everyone else can just continue to respond to the comment upstream of the derail while interested parties hash it out. (Without this, you end up with something like Metafilter, where there's a huge amount of active moderation and fairly severe community-norms-enforcement, much of it aimed towards keeping discussions on track and dissuade trolling / derails.)

And depending on the context of the conversation, I can totally see why placing "the Bible" and "interview question" in the same sentence would attract attention. My internal HR-department DEFCON meter just went up about two points just thinking about it, and I'm certainly less attuned to Bad Ideas than most. I'm not sure that's a reasonable thing to expect people to just leave alone, particularly again when you have threaded discussions so there's not a ton of social pressure against nitpicking.

Reddit does have its share of problems, but given their apparent goal of being sort of the heir to Usenet in terms of an everything-to-everybody discussion platform, rather than simply a subject-specific discussion site, they seem to do rather well. I sometimes think they're insane and hubristic for the whole "platform" ambition, but they're one of the more successful attempts around right now.

I pretty much only post things that can be verified easily. Most are snopes type things, and only for people I'm on a pretty firm footing with.

I unfeed people who post inflammatory stuff.

IMO, the medium could be great for compare-contrast type things - "I think tradition <x> is important because <y>" but it seems like less and less of that happens now.
If we have to spend money on a work program - and whether I'm for or against that in principal is not relevant here - could it be on something less dehumanizing for everyone paying for it, and less absurdly power-trip-y for the benefactors?

I am living in the Balkans for the last four years and my personal experience is that kids here are generally quiet. Very similar to Western Europe. (Zagreb - Croatia, Belgrade and Novi Sad - Serbia).

Before coming here I visited and lived in many European countries and Italians for sure are the loudest in public settings (restaurants for example) - especially when there are many of them together. From my experience from Greek Islands Englishmen are the loudest of all - at home in England they are quiet and polite though . Germans are the quietest ones when traveling to other countries but loud at home sometimes.

All this is totally my subjective point of view of course.
I was born in Austin, and I've lived here for about eight years. This city and it's people have taught me so much, and I really don't know who I'd be if I never came here.

> providing a service in Brazil

I don't know if they have servers in brazil, but if they don't then it seems quite unreasonable to say that they are "providing a service in Brazil". If you run a bookstore in the US and a German comes and buys Nazi material, are you running a store in Germany? If Brazilians are effectively leaving their country to go get stuff from US servers then it's up to the Brazilian government to make a law to stop them, if it doesn't like that. Saying that connecting to the internet is "providing service" to every country in the world is a way to simply break the entire internet.

You're right. Lots of people split orders, probably one out of 4 or 5 fumble for things, and quite a few buy for their company. The phone the person bought was an iPhone rather than some weird one. Had the comment said iPods I'd have expected a bit more skepticism from cashier.

Yet, a company sends someone to buy a set of mainstream phones split on two transactions? Totally believable for a cashier and not as crazy as people's grocery orders have gotten while I was in line. ;)

You confuse p-value with methodology. P-value is entirely a product of sample size and effect size. For a given effect size, the cheaper I want the study to be, the smaller I make the sample, and the less likely I am to reach a significant p-value.

The problem is when the methodology itself is broken. For instance, using case-control methodologies on things with small-to-moderate effect sizes. Past studies comparing such studies with eventual RCTs showed that the case control studies gave absolutely no indication of what the RCTs would show as a consensus: it was entirely random.

There is no amount of money, small or large, worth throwing at studies that shift our prior probability to posterior by 0 units.
In my opinion, JavaScript is a toy language. Looking at it, and the Node.js ecosystem by-extension, that way has really helped me be effective with it.

Tooling has never been more important to my productivity with a language as it has been with JS. I constantly search for tools to paper over the warts and potholes.
Facebook has gotten to the point for me where even normal, non-political things I post on Facebook draw trolls and shitposters. Probably just the cocktail of friends I have but people use my posts as a way to express their particular way of standing out.

If I ask for restaurant recommendations I don't feel like dealing with a ton of sarcastic comments anymore.
