Unfortunately that doesn't really work as a guiding principle. The body is entirely too easy to ignore, and social concerns ultimately are more important and urgent than personal ones. How exactly are you going to handle getting invited out to eat if you're not particularly hungry but could eat anyway? I had to answer this and way more in the year-long or so path to really getting serious about losing it and keeping it off.

And boredom is a real problem.

I liken trying to lose weight to trying to quit smoking. If all you had to fight were the nicotine cravings, nobody would be smoking today. It's the habits you have to fight, those things we build our life out of, and to fight habit you have to fix a lot of other parts of your life. Just finding ways to take five minute breaks that don't involve smoking. We want to treat these things in isolation, but they're not isolated, they all interact with each other. To do something like this forces you to deal with your entire life up to the present and be confronted with your own inadequacies. So there's that too.

Somebody who manages to quit smoking or lose weight and keep it off hasn't just managed to do that one thing, they've also managed to effect a complicated and difficult lifestyle change, and should by all rights be considered a completely different person. I don't feel particularly different from the me that was 210 pounds, but when I look at the big picture, I can understand why women aren't just being shallow when they wouldn't even look at me before, and now all seem to beg for attention.

That's why I focus at the level of lifestyle rather than on more mechanistic concerns like whether the keto diet is better than slow-carb and whatnot.
No retina scan for PreCheck, that's for Global Entry / Nexus.
ResearchKit may be part of the solution for some things, although the auth and data management will be barriers for commercial providers for the near future.

I have a small team that is working with leaders in the space[1] to help many of the major EMR vendors support an open-standards based approach to medical record sharing.

We'll be seeking public feedback when some of the preliminary work is ready, but are very excited to get input from the community as we make progress.

The third party is free to run in the primary.

(so for instance, if there are 4 candidates that get lots of votes in the primary, 2 Democrats, a Republican and an Independent, you can end up with 2 Democrats on the election ballot, I think the Republican would still see that as having their election messed with)
>How is that not relevant?

Because nobody is suggesting that minority is anything other than a minority. Simply that having that minority is normal.

> I generally unsubscribe from all of those defaults (except maybe /r/WorldNews)

Maybe I don't understand how bad the rest of the default subs are, but the last time I went to the comments in r/worldnews, I saw nothing but awful, racist garbage. Maybe the links and headlines are worth reading, but those comments have completely killed any interest in discussion there.
Right, I understand the idea.

I just haven't seen any studies on the idea that an empty fat cell will never be destroyed.

I have seen quotes like "your whole body is reconstructed over a period of years", i.e. cells have a lifespan, so if your body is reconstructing cells why would it put resources into rebuilding empty fat storage containers. Or, the other option would be fat cells are immortal, which seems to be extreme as well.

Just looking for some actual studies on this ...
Here's 0.02c from a lifelong depressed person. I'm still figuring out the path as you are!

Absolutely find some sort of physical activity and do it every day. Even if it's a run for 30 minutes. Even if it's a walk for 30 minutes. You need to get that blood flowing. As a marathon runner who started running to quit smoking, one of the greatest side effects I've discovered from consistient physical activity (aside from increased female attention, of course!) is the seemingly unwarranted boost of endorphins and happy juice throughout the day. Definitely look into something you can do physically.

Get out of the house. Go work at a cafe. Talk to people. Even if the conversation leads to you talking about some of the problems you feel you're facing. Confronting the rut you're in now with others is an immediately identifiable issue, and we all go through it. Absolutely get the notion that you're the only one with sadness inside out of your head because it's a selfish and incredibly misguided view. We all get there, and most reasonable people are immediately compassionate about it.

Wake up early. Get out of bed by 8 a.m. at the latest, every day. Have a routine before you sit down to work and stick by it. It can be as simple as cooking breakfast for yourself.

Don't forget to breathe. You're learning how to be your own best friend. It's time to learn how to care for yourself and be the best version of yourself, for others (and also for you!).

I think the largest challenge with Swift testing at the moment is the lack of easy mocking. You can define inline classes, but it's far inferior to the functionality that something like Kiwi provided for Objective-C.
From TFA:

You'll have to visually compare this against Wright's screenshots, but it matches. If this sounds fishy to you, well, you're right. Also fishy: making people hand-edit hex values to verify trivial parts of this evidence chain.

To say that this is "fishy" is an understatement. To me it's proof enough that the man is a total fraud.

This. I've been instructed to take my belt off in the dozen or so domestic flights I've taken the last ~2 years. Before that it was hit or miss.

I remember this because I'm thin and a belt keeps my pants from falling to my knees while I'm holding my boarding pass, ID and raising my arms above my head so my body can be scanned with questionable technology.
Does it? A subreddit is as good as its moderators; a good team can keep a sub from being flooded with trolls, or even regulars who are unfamiliar with a sub's rules or culture.
I agree that on some level more data sets would be nice, but I felt that it cluttered and obscured the exposition. Instead I used the one synthetic dataset, but crafted in to have various properties (noise, cluster shape, variable density, non-standard distributions) that will confound many different clustering approaches ... it is meant to be the "hard" case that with all the difficulties and confounding factors rolled into one dataset.
One trap I've seen with big ORMs is some coders stop "thinking database", which can lead to performance problems.

The "N+1 selects" problem ( http://use-the-index-luke.com/sql/join/nested-loops-join-n1-... -- running for loops against nested selects) is probably the most notorious case of this. When you learn SQL, you pretty much learn from the get go that loops are bad (eg, you avoid cursors, and process things in batch, as much as possible). I think it's a lot less obvious that this also is the case in ORM land, that for loop doesn't instinctively look too dangerous when you first start programming using an ORM. (Because in your regular code, it really wouldn't be.)

Personally, I do quite like micro-ORMs like Dapper. Dapper's great at mapping query results to objects, but still allow you to take advantage of SQL performance.

The cynical and nihilistic me says 'yes'. Let's push it to see at what point it crumbles.
Why is no one talking about Dave Kleiman, the wheelchaired man who died in 2013? He was supposedly a friend of Wright. My gut feeling is that he was the real Satoshi Nakamoto. Wright just sounds like an fraudulent opportunist who tries to bank by all means necessary from knowing the guys secret.
TRIM is not meant to be a security feature. It is optimized for reducing write amplification and improving performance. It could have been implemented to be more secure while trading off on performance.

Good security has layers. That way if one falls through,

Please do provide them.

The notion that Go's compiler is slower than C++ is ridiculous. Go's compiler, despite the recent slowdown, is still famously fast, whereas C++'s notorious header file problem means that even small changes can trigger huge recompiles (which is exacerbated by the fact that templates must often have their implementation code in the header file, not the implementation file).

Meanwhile, Rust's compiler is much, much slower than Go's, and probably not much faster than GCC/Clang with C++.
Did you even read the article before commenting?
“A visual guide to the Scala language”
I thought the issue was that there was some decompiled code in the repo? Maybe I'm misremembering.
sit the guy in a room. Fire up sublime, emacs, vim, or whatever IDE. Give him an hour to write an app in C++ to solve something trivial that he does not know in advance, such as the 8 queens problem. End of debate. The guy most likely cannot code to save his life.
It seems like exposing your body to colder temperatures is a sure-fire way to increase your metabolism:
http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2015/01/does-glo...

May be a little uncomfortable, but way better than screwing up your metabolism via extreme dieting. I'm consistently perplexed as to why the ice-vest-under-the-clothes weight loss method hasn't taken off yet.
"if you want to take full advantage of, say, jsonb in PostgreSQL you're out of luck"

I don't know if you can take 'full advantage' but with the Django ORM, you get special postgreSQL fields to take advantage of postgres jsonb. There is nothing stopping someone from developing more features specific to other RDBMS either... and if you need to write some queries in SQL, the Django ORM lets you do that easily alongside more traditional ORM queries.
It would be nice if they could prioritize things by letting the user indicate "I want to see more/less of this stuff" and then build the algorithm based on that. I bet they did their testing on that and realized that users never end up doing that so they're going to try to come up with their own strategy. I agree with you, my feed has really dropped in quality even after blocking clickbaity sources like BuzzFeed and other content farms.
You either know little about economics, the Economist, or both.

The Economist did not "fall" for Wright, and does not believe the claims made.
No the bank didn't invent it. The person who invented it has their name on the patent application. It is assigned to the bank.
Every time I come across a new KV store, I go out looking for an userland implementation from the Acunu guys: http://arxiv.org/abs/1103.4282. So far, none seen yet.

I'd like to see Stratified B Trees kick LSMs' butts. Or the other way around. I can't code this yet. But I can hope that somebody's already on to this.

Need to mention Percona's take on this space too: https://github.com/percona/PerconaFT. The patent notice makes it scary tho.
This is just wrong. Weight loss on the short scale is literally a function of the difference between calories in vs calories out. You can increase that difference by eating less, or exercising more. You can easily maintain your weight as you age by increasing the amount you exercise, it might involve more exercise than expected, but it is perfectly doable.

Fat is not satiating to everyone. If it works for you, good, but stop making sweeping generalizations.

Eating the correct foods will influence the amount of metabolic slowdown in response to calorie restriction, and also the percentage of weight lost from fat versus lean body mass. What exactly the correct foods are depends on your genetics, your activity level, and your gut microbiota, and are different for everyone. Pretty much the only constant is that a high fiber diet is better than a low fiber diet.
I don't see any indication that the chatter contains information related to solving the puzzle rather than, say, simply expressing their emotional state. There are plenty of animals which mutter to themselves while thinking --- humans included!

The obvious experiment here is to have two groups of dolphins positioned so that they can hear each other but not see each other; give one the puzzle, and then, later, give the other the same puzzle. If the second group solves it consistently faster than the first one then probably information is being transferred. (Although it could just be that the second group is more motivated after hearing the first group get excited about something.)

Actually arranging an ethical but meaningful experiment with bottlenose dolphins, which are quite big and are highly opinionated, is left as an exercise for the reader...

If you were actually concerned about someone being compromised why wouldn't you make a new account for Gavin and give him a new password?

"May be there's less violence, but the amount of suffering has skyrocketed over the years. A more than significant amount of people are dependent on tranquilizers and anti-depressants to make their life bearable, because for them it has become mundane and meaningless without."

I don't think this is very accurate. People get hooked on painkillers usually because they had some sort of accident and need them for pain...and since opiates are extremely addictive, continue to take them after they no longer need them.

"also these numbers don't show how much exploitation and environmental damage our alleged 'prosperity' causes in other parts of the world."

You can't blame us for countries that decide to have no rules and ruin their environment. When you compare the environment of the US to pretty much anywhere in the world, it's one of the cleanest (if not the cleanest).

..and 'exploitation'? We built the middle class of China. Before we started going overseas to build factories, the majority of people in China were in complete and utter poverty.

Hardly what I call exploitation.

"Like many others, I went to http://pinboard.in when Delicious became terminally crap."

You really have to wonder what's up with Yahoo that they essentially destroy everything they buy.

Certainly there are horror stories about Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc. buying stuff and wrecking it, but they also have success stories. It seems that crash-and-burn is the norm for Yahoo (also Oracle).

There are probably some management lessons to be learned by studying what's different about the acquisition strategies of these companies.
> Bring about instant runoff voting or a similar system and you strip parties of their power and we rid ourselves of self-serving incumbents quickly.

Agreed. I believe score voting is the best option. It's remarkable easy to understand (just rate each candidate, like you rate movies or whatever), minimizes voter regret, avoids spoilers/splits, and avoids the two-party rule we suffer with our current plurality voting model.

I prefer score voting to ranked voting for one simple reason: the voter is free to vote any way he or she chooses. It is not necessary to rank the candidates. If you are equally in favor of two or more candidates you can express that with score voting (give them the same score). Ranked voting requires that you rank candidates.

When I used to work in teaching, we were continually being hassled by our managers to make ridiculous amounts of copious notes, handouts and lesson plans of everything we did so that "If something happens to any of you, someone else can step in and pick up the pieces".

My response to that was the same as to this article: I know it's a bit selfish and all that, but I'd like to think there would be at least a w-e-e-e-e bit of a hiccup in the smooth running of the world around me, when I shuffle of this mortal coil and join the choir invisible.

Kinda sad to think it might be such a seamless transition, no-one even noticed I was gone.

[Another good way of getting people to miss you when you're gone is to owe them money!]
Eh, I earn less pay than an SV intern but I don't have to pay SV prices for everything or commute a ridiculous distance to get to an area that's more normally priced. I'm okay with this.

> For cancer yes, but for a back pain

Yes. Someone shouldn't have to suffer in pain because they work a low paid job, or are unemployed.

> The only way to make healthcare universal is to work out serious insurance plans

It's not the only way. The other way is for our taxes to foot the bill, as we do in the UK with the NHS.

The NHS is far from perfect, with long waiting lists and varying levels of care depending on your location - but it works, and provides universal healthcare to the whole of the UK.

I can also carry a clown hat all day long and it will keep the pink elephants away. But there are not pink elephant! Then it means my hat is working!

My theory on planes hijacking is rather that if you have a bunch of arabs taking over a plane today (after 9/11, the Paris attacks, etc), the passengers will think that doing nothing will lead to certain death, and therefore it will be impossible for the terrorists to contain the passengers. The only rational reaction for the passengers is to over power the terrorists at all risks.
