The short summary is that aerobic exercise performance in humans is limited by the maximal rate of oxygen uptake or VO2max. Oxidation of fatty acids requires more oxygen per unit of "energy" produced than glycolysis; they are simply less bang for buck (or oxygen). Hence chronically depleted (particularly muscle) glycogen stores are a great recipe for bad exercise performances as you force the body into deriving more energy from fats.

Now, in reality, energy during exercise is always derived from a mix of both fatty acids and glycogen. In general, as exercise intensity increases (you are getting closer to VO2max), a larger ratio of energy will be derived from glycogen. So for your friend, running 54k of mountains is only going to be done at rather low intensity (50-60% of VO2max), where ~60% of energy will be from fatty acids, saving glycogen and preventing hypoglycemia.

Hypoglycemia, incidentally, is also known as "bonking". It's rather unpleasant. On long, high intensity exercise sessions you can't usually replace all the glycogen you deplete through food intake. So if you start with lower glycogen stores through a low carb diet, what you are doing is priming your body for hypoglycemia.
AutoMicroFarm will be really amazing, if it works. It is definitely worth funding.
Including a startup with a founder who happens to be popular on HN doesn't seem any less in the spirit of this exercise as including a startup with a problem domain that happens to be popular on HN --- which is something you could say about a "currency for basic income" or "anonymous social network" or "new kind of database".

In fact, if part of the point of this exercise is legitimizing the use of HN as a sort of decorrelated "wisdom of the crowd" hedge for YC's ordinary selection, then including someone with great odds of doing something impactful with the YCF money is a good thing. YC will profit from it, and HN will have allowed that to happen.

Since none of the other startup ideas posted to Apply HN have especially credible founding teams (not a ding!), there's also something to be said for an Apply HN that tries it both ways, both by surfacing an unknown and also by admitting to YCF a company with an established track record. We can then see what YCF does for both kinds of companies.

And, finally: YC's got more than enough money to casually try this out, and one thing I am certain of is that YCF funding Pinboard via an application Maciej Ceglowski posts for Pinboard on Hacker News is going to bring a little bit of joy to my life. It will be fun to watch, for a lot of us, and that's worth something.
Plenty of people understand what's going on? I'm unsure where you're going with this.
Reddit when they started to ban subreddits for hate speech and other things, that is when 4Channers came over to cause some trouble.

I never had any problems on Reddit until after they changed their policies, I don't go for hate speech and other things, but /r/Ferguson was about the Ferguson riots and Black Lives Matter and other stuff related to Ferguson, but the racists came in and took it over and then it became one of those subreddits that was in lock down and it warned you about it when you tried to access it. I got downvoted by racists and had to leave that subreddit.

I live near Ferguson and shop there, the people of Ferguson are good people no matter what race they are. The rioters and looters came from outside Ferguson. Maybe people don't always wave back or smile, but they got their own problems they are dealing with.

I don't believe that's what I implied. I was pointing out the discrepancy in the parent's argument that an increase in lobbying spending should correlate with a decrease in introductions of these types of bills. If these types of bills are viewed as extortionist policies, and lobbying efforts as akin to Mafia "protection" then these supposed discrepancies become more clear.

> If I can't use the data structures I'm accustomed to (because of mutability issues), what are the alternatives?

You can use the data structures you are used to just fine, thanks. Just because everything is immutable by default doesn't mean everything is immutable all the time.

In addition, any "unsafety" is generally buried deep inside a library and contained properly. Yes, if you are trying to implement something like a ConcurrentSkipListMap, you're probably going to have "unsafe" in your code (and probably some assembly language). But, if you are using the library, probably not.

I have a Sharp TV. I noticed a while after I bought it (still fairly new, <1 year) that the left half of the screen is dimmer than the right. This is not a big enough problem that I will deal with Sharp about the warranty (I tried, they wanted me to jump through hoops so I said screw it). You can be sure I'm not going to buy another product from them. It's a minor QA issue, I don't mind it about 95% of the time, but when Samsung or LG make basically the same thing for a similar (lower?) price then why would I bother with Sharp again.

In the case of Apple vs. Android. I've used both, developed for both. Owned an Android phone for a long time, have no intention of ever going back. iOS is just that much better for me.

In all deference to what you're trying to say... I'd submit that most companies are tech companies.

Biggest example is Goldman Sachs. Their CEO came out and said "We're not an investment bank anymore, we're a tech company." Their rationale is that they have to use technology to defeat their competitors--before their competitors can use technology to defeat them.
Who cares?

Put the whole lore of bitcoin on the backburner for a moment and think about what this would really mean if he was Satoshi. Pretend that the proof was more than adequate, and pretend that Satoshi-signed messages started popping up on the Bitcoin mailing list again.

What should that matter? He's got millions of dollars of Bitcoin. He dropped out of the bitcoin world 5 years ago. If Satoshi came out on the mailing list with a signed message talking about the block size, would it matter at this point?
Whence does it get the public key with which it verifies the signature? How is the public key verified?
When I initially encountered event -based processing (libevent in C), those callbacks were indeed difficult to wrap my mind around. But I learned to structure the code in the editor, keeping everything together which made it manageable.
I 've worked with node for a couple of months now, and I find promises to be more confusing, because it obfuscates the callback in my mind, and makes it look like ordinary function calls.
It's odd that the article doesn't mention the phrase "brown dwarf", which is what 2MASS J23062928-0502285 is. (See http://simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=2MASS+J230629..., linked from the article.)

The phrase "ultracool dwarf star" is descriptive, but both less familiar and less precise than "brown dwarf". Perhaps the author assumed the audience wouldn't know what a brown dwarf is, but a lot of us do (and the rest could have it explained easily enough).
The sizes and temperatures of these worlds are comparable to those of Earth and Venus, and are the best targets found so far for the search for life outside the solar system.

That's quite a variation in temperature. Especially since Venus generally isn't considered to be "habitable."

Nic doesn't know despite many words to convince you otherwise

While you claim that you have no stake or position in this, your other post borders on the bizarre, with you seemingly completely misunderstanding the arguments made and then, having carefully constructed an absurd strawman, you confidently knock it down.

Anyone can be tricked by a con man with no shame. This includes very smart people. Anyone who controls the hardware and the network can render virtually any proof useless without moving outside of their control (which is extremely easy to do), and it can be a fun parlour trick. In this case we have someone with a long history of casual trickery (if not fraud) who, while under an impending cloud of peril, and with months to contrive a magic trick, convinced a single person.
What happens when you miss your flight due to screening? I mean if you really had to wait for over 30 minutes for a domestic flight and did not book any expensive ticket which allows rescheduling. Are you allowed to catch the next flight or do you have to buy a new ticket.
Furthermore, how do airlines handle your baggage. They won't know that your too late until everybody is in the plane (because you are already checked in). As far as I know, they may not fly with your baggage if you're not in the plane. So if I was late, wouldn't it delay the flight another 20 minutes to find my bags?

"Where I'm going" is that bitcoin keeps coming up in the news in various forms like this thread, yet I don't think most people really understand what it is.

You understand the bitcoin software and how the system is built and functions, end to end? Cool, I'm jealous.

You think most other developers share that understanding? Given that in my experience most developers have only a so-so understanding of basic cryptography to begin with, I find that very, very dubious.

I just read the original whitepaper and it isn't exactly trivial. Statements of the form "Because we do X in the implementation, bitcoin has property Y" are where it takes a fairly strong knowledge to truly follow along with the logic. The implications of the methodologies are not obvious, or else this whitepaper (and by extension the identity of Nakamoto) wouldn't be quite so important.
Honestly, given the circuit splits that exist here i think neither of us is going to convince the other. So i'll simply retract my "right", and move on :)

I live in a house in a relatively high-crime area of Dallas. It's not that cheap for me according to what neighbors say. But anything at all really is too much for me I suppose so eh.

> I don't buy high-end thermostats.

Ok... well, then in my poorly insulated 1970's home in Dallas I'd probably be spending an extra $50+ every month during the summer cooling the house when I don't need to. Thinking about it I suppose the value is highly variable on your home and location.

Yes, who doesn't love the old dial thermostats? That's some of the charm of the Nest's design I suppose. But efficiency isn't their strong suit. And I like being able to adjust the thermostat in the dark on my way to bed without turning on the lights.

I don't find much value in doing anything online however. I'd be perfectly happy with a Nest that only did the scheduling and motion sensing without any of the "OMG you can turn on the heat on your way home from work!" stuff. I don't mind being less than optimally comfortable for an hour or so while my A/C warms/cools the house once we get home. If Nest started charging for it I certainly wouldn't pay for it.

But that's just my experience.
Then don’t publish your app in those countries.
So, on a show where they have people lose weight in the most unsustainable (read: dramatic) way possible, they are then surprised they don't keep it off? I am shocked. Shocked, I say!
Just had multiple-leg international travel, all the involved airports from different countries ran a set of security and customs checks that were comprehensive enough for real threats (document verification, metal detectors, scanning all luggage, even drug dogs). No security theater though e.g. removal of shoes.

In all cases the process (including queues) took less than 15 minutes. What is the problem in USA? If some of your checking procedures are unreasonably long or require more workforce than you have, then change those procedures.

Arriving for an international trip (either from outside of from another plane) an hour before takeoff is sufficient if airport can organize things properly.
I would not be so sure. While corruption and nepotism is a huge problem, there is more in play.

There is decades worth of psychometric evidence pointing to the conclusion that on average, native Africans have less talent for mental tasks.

It'd be rather surprising if ~100,000 years of separate evolution and a good deal of founder effects would have not produced appreciable mental differences between Eurasian and African populations.

This, of course, is heresy:http://www.gnxp.com/blog/2007/10/james-watson-tells-inconven...
> There is a limit to a node, 800k metrics per box is not that huge when you consider the things that could be measure just on a single host. We have several thousand metrics coming out of just a single MySQL instance.

To clarify, that's 800k metrics per second per box. That's an upper limit of around 50M metrics with a 60s scrape interval.

It'd be quite difficult to hit this limit with a single service inside one datacenter.

If you do manage to hit it, we do have documented ways to horizontally scale beyond that.
The assumed fix here is to distinguish between a mutable borrow and the reservation of a location to later do a mutable borrow. Locations based on local variables and their fields can be reserved, although a move out of the variable would invalidate a reservation. Other locations (e.g. the result of a function call) can't be reserved and would give an error.

Most of the problems described in the articles can be solved by simply using promises. Error handling is centralized in your chain and any function can throw and just like Python or Ruby you can catch anywhere you want. As for consistency between callbacks, promises and generators, just pick one. We switched from callbacks to promises and it was a great move. Error handling greatly improved and the code looks a lot nicer. No more callbacks hell. Ever.

We switched our backend from Python to Node almost 2 years ago now and it was a great decision for us. If you handle a code base that deals with a lot of async requests Node is definitely a top contender.

I think we'd learn more about dolphin communication by generating tasks that require a human and dolphin to collaborate in the water; the task should be novel for both subjects.

As things are we seldom let the dolphin 'lead' the task; but these animals are highly adapted to the water. With a human-dolphin pair, the dolphin would be in the position of using its superior knowledge of the environment (sonar) to direct the human's superior ability to manipulate objects (hands). For example, how would a human-dolphin pair collaborate in a pitch-black cave?

Dogs are very good at manipulating human behavior; the party line is that wolves have better problem solving in general but dogs are better when there's a human in the room. Dolphins don't have the benefit of coevolution that dogs do, but they're smart and social; I bet they could figure us out.
You mean convinced at least five people and three editors, and the fact that I know that should indicate that I am pretty familiar with the course of events despite your suggestion otherwise.

I'm unconvinced you read my comment and are instead painting me with a "disagrees with the Bitcoin community's consensus and is therefore bizarre" brush, because what I said basically presents no argument. I actually take pains to illustrate, and reillustrate in a followup, that I have no idea. It's pretty difficult to build a straw man if you readily admit that you have no idea. Kinda undermines the alleged straw man.

My sole position is that the Bitcoin community very often reacts perplexingly to external stimulus, and that when I opened the Bitcoin client in 2009 and accidentally mined a block and got 50 BTC, I should have kept it instead of wiping the machine. And that people would most likely tear me apart for trying to have a little fun with the situation. (Which is happening, and I'm sitting here with a complete lack of ability to care.)

Edit: I can't reply any more, but suffice to say your last comment is probably the funniest you've made yet, in that you made it personal and hilariously so. Please continue to tell me how much I care, how gullible and absurd and foolish and wishfully-heroic I am for concocting an amusing, to me, theory for something that completely doesn't matter, and keep on dragging this thread beyond the pale of uncivilness. You're only proving my point about Bitcoin threads on HN and beyond. I already pointed out I'm having fun with my theory. You missed that and are apparently waiting for me to make it Serious, which I will continue to stubbornly refuse to do. Sorry. You'll have to Be Serious about Bitcoin with someone else, both because Hacker News won't let me continue this and also because I'm getting actual work done while this thread goes on.

I will respond to this with a bit of Serious, though:

> Editors and journalists will run with the weakest of evidence because it's salacious and draws viewers.

I spent the first several years of my working life in journalism, and happen to know folks at two of the publications that ran with this. One of them, in particular, vetted this story far more than you'd think before betting the masthead on it after the Goodman debacle and yes, I have inside information on that which I am not going to share out of respect to a friend. I think it's quite easy to dismiss the media as incompetent and chasing views, but you should really think hard about that assertion. Bitcoin is double-confirmation territory these days for most newsrooms precisely due to Goodman. And don't worry, GQ puzzles me just as much as you.
Good write-up. The Australian tax thing in the Reddit is another good example. And yes, those of us from Tennessee do not take kindly to folks trying to play us for a fool. ;)

So the released devices have bugs - same thing happened on old feature phones. That's always going to happen - that's how consumer software works. This is not even close to what happened for J2ME.

1. If there was a J2ME bug on a phone, you were stuck with it forever. Only a handful of phones received upgrades and you had to find a specific cable to flash them, so most people never did. With Android you have a chance to receive a fix over the network - that's magic in comparison.

2. You're still using Android libs to write the apps. You're not downloading Samsung SDK which won't work on Asus, or LG SDK which won't work on something else. You're publishing one package, and not one package per phone producer, or even model. Again, magic in comparison.

To be clear, this is a terrible law, and I think Whatsapp should absolutely not concede to it. But just so we're clear, "I didn't know any better" isn't an excuse for breaking the law.
