Ubuntu Tablet Fails Spectacularly in New Hands-On Video
A lot of the article seems to be drawn from her personal testimony - even goes as far to admit that scientific evidence for what she's saying is quite thin on the ground.

That testimony is quite shaky. At one point in the article she talks about how he was eating 800 calories a day, and mysteriously put the weight back on.

Five paragraphs later she talks a separate incidence when he again managed to lose weight, but put the weight on again after binge eating at 3am, describing this as a 'natural response.'

Also, much much harder for women to lose weight than men.
The same for me. Plain simple calorie restriction (calorie counting) did the trick for me. Of course the caveat is that once you reached your weight you want to keep you can't start eating like you did before your diet. You still have to keep counting your calories.

On the practical side I just banned all sugars from my diet and heavily restricted my carb intake. (No Keto though). Not eating bread alone saved me 600 kcal a day.

I think you're perhaps overthinking it. Is it so hard to imagine that maybe a) developing his app for multiple platforms requires more development effort than he alone is capable of and b) he chooses to allocate the effort he can produce towards the platform that he himself uses and has a preference for?

>After several months of eating fewer than 800 calories a day and spending an hour at the gym every morning, I hadn’t lost another ounce.

That's obviously not true. Assuming slow pace gym session and 200 kcal lost, nobody can keep their weight stable if they spend just 600 kcal per day and have normal activity.
Password protection enforced at the client seems to be Siemens way of doing security. I discovered this flaw in their heat pump controller when I was working on monitoring system for the pump.
I had to disassemble their Java applet that was used to show temperature information and configure the controller to replicate the protocol used. Password protection? Client reads the password from the controller and compares it to user-provided string. If there is a match, client continues to read/write data, if not, client asks for password again. No password verification on controller at all.
except there's nothing like the rigour of a good PhD to teach you good methods, stats and epistemology. Not all do that, but there are many people out there whose code, research and generaly understanding woudl be much better had they studied for a PhD.

Now, of course it's not necessary that these learnings have to come through a PhD, but few people pick up good research habits without one. And that includes masters students who at least in some fields definitely get Research-lite levels of understanding from the teaching given.
Maybe. Maybe not. I'm not trying to plainly reject the idea, but the sad fact is that people can get very ill in war zones just by bad luck even if not directly poisoned by the enemy (as a lot of gulf war soldiers could tell us). Of course, scavengers in isolated and small villages never reach the first page of newspapers when get poisoned by toxic bomb remains and die. Deplected Uranium munition (DU) was profusely fired and it seems that more than 300 places in Iraq are still contaminated with toxic waste and DU spreading by army was comparised to having "100 Chernobyl accidents" in this countries. There has been a documented dramatic increase in childhood cancers since Gulf's war for example. Nobody can predict after a entire life of endless war where this metal scraps are now; if your work is to go to this villages and talk for hours with local people when sipping tea, you could sadly end sharing the same fate just by chance.

and Oauth is said to be a security framework that can easily go wrong... in its implementation of a solution. there is no concern here neither?
Crumple zones remove energy making the rest of the accident less dangerous. Air bags operate on a similar principle 1 second post accident most of the speed is gone even if the car is still in motion. In other words survive the 80MPH crash and the secondary 40MPH crash is vastly less dangerous.

PS: Sure, there are a tiny fraction of edge cases such as falling off a cliff where it's a longer term problem, but it's reasonable to ignore them.
One of the things I have found quite useful in loosing weight is to eat slowly. I sometimes observe people's eating habits and in general, obese people seem to be eating faster (sometimes as much as twice as fast) compared to average.
I want to see the person that won't lose weight while fasting for a week. And maintain it sucessfully if he fasts one or two days.

Ah yes! The sanctimonious blame game. So very common with this problem. I do have to ask though, did you read the article at all?

'For example, men with severe obesity have only one chance in 1,290 of reaching the normal weight range within a year; severely obese women have one chance in 677. A vast majority of those who beat the odds are likely to end up gaining the weight back over the next five years. In private, even the diet industry agrees that weight loss is rarely sustained. A report for members of the industry stated: “In 2002, 231 million Europeans attempted some form of diet. Of these only 1 percent will achieve permanent weight loss.”'

I'm pretty certain studies generally conclude that people who lose weight are _overwhelmingly_ likely to regain it. Of course you can play the blame/shame game with them and say they're all just lazy, but you're really starting to walk away from the facts and towards the all-too-common ideology that surrounds weight.

Also:

'After several months of eating fewer than 800 calories a day and spending an hour at the gym every morning, I hadn’t lost another ounce.'

So the 'not much science involved' calorie balance really REALLY should have resulted in a loss at this rate, yet it didn't - how do you explain that? I mean that literally entirely contradicts your claim.

I'm overweight. I take full responsibility for my situation and make no excuses. But losing weight is surprisingly, intensely difficult and your body fights you every damn inch of the way and this kind of blaming, sanctimonious 'it's simple' shite you hear so often does NOT fit reality.

Congratulations on your loss, but don't assume you'll sustain it. I lost about the same amount of weight as you with the same calorie limit as you, and despite all this will likely try again and have good results at least initially. But I think longer term you have to think more carefully about how the hell you'll sustain it, it really _isn't_ simple.
My apologies, but your entire comment reads like this:

"They are dumb, because they don't do it how I would do it. I know better. They are so stupid."

I'm not a security professional by any means, but I'm interested in learning how to do stuff better.

Can you please reframe your response with solutions, and not snark?
Dont know, not familiar enough, my point was writing something because it talks in SOAP seems...petty?
I have reached the same conclusion. It's easy to overeat if you don't keep count of your daily calorie intake. When I keep track, I easily lose 2-3 kg each month. It's the snacks that usually fool me, you don't feel full, but the calories add up.
Well done. But you didn't blog about it, or release that part of your app as a standalone library. You also didn't (couldn't) patent it - it doesn't need to be new to be interesting and valuable to HN readers.
They are probably also including things like health insurance, vacation time, sick days, in that figure..."perks" that aren't really perks per se.

My guess is that for just about any tech software startup the only really meaningful cost is salaries. In a pie chart, it would dwarf everything else. Even lease costs for an extravagant office would be minuscule in comparison.
If it provides a framework for shutting them out of a city, it's going to be an expensive precedent either way.

Are you sure about that? The body is not as simple as you assume, and weird stuff happens that makes literally no sense based on a simple energy in/energy out equation that can't only be explained by self-delusion.

It's funny how much weight loss is an ideological issue to usually quite logical people - don't assume you know this is impossible simply because you have a model in your head that says so.

EDIT: When I say self-delusion here I am referring to the apparent self-delusion of the author that the parent implies - to say you are only consuming 800kcal when there is an assumption that that MUST result in weight loss leaves only self-delusion as an explanation. My point is that there might be other factors (Emphasis on MIGHT...)
I have to agree; that doesn't make sense mathematically.
You need to study basic physics.
> Not being able to mount a separate /usr would negate that option.

You can mount the root to e.g. /mnt and symlink (or bind-mount) /mnt/usr to /usr, if that's what you need.
Nevertheless, physics is NOT violated during dieting. Its a fact of physics that energy in/energy out must add up to energy gain/loss in the system. Lets stop arguing about that.

The likely issue is, cheating on the diet. Sure, eating limited calories at a meal is a good idea. Its also necessary to avoid adding 300-1000 kC with that fast-food burger after work or that donut at the meeting. Its so easy to do; it explains all the "I limited my calories and didn't lose weight!" claims. Simplest answer is often correct answer.
It could make sense, but author does not provide her height so most of the article is kind of a useless. BMI and especially total BF% for taller person is a good statistic.

This is cool without a doubt. However it's fairly well understood that Nvidia have gfx's tech about 5 years ahead of current market level. This allows them to eek out small increments to customers and stay ahead of the curve. It's a smart move, and model used by many of the big hardware manufactures (Intel for example).

However VR has forced their hand to release a significant upgrade. So if VR turns out to be nothing more than a trend that we forget about for another 20 years, at least it results in some amazing graphics cards.

Just not sure there's any PC focused games developers left to push these cards...
Those things (except legality, because that's not stopping anyone) can be part of the problem, sure but it's a lot more than that. It's such a fragile house of cards you're describing with that situation and I don't know if you just don't believe me or you're taking it WAY too lightly.

Those people who are successful are headed for disaster, even if they have the money to mitigate supply issues/price. If you care about these people, tell them rich people go to Passages in Malibu. It costs $80,000 and i can prove that. but maybe they can afford it?
I wonder if ganguro works, too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ganguro
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. And that is quite the extraordinary claim. Why are you so quick to believe something that is so obviously self-delusion, especially when it has never been duplicated in a laboratory? When scientists look into these kinds of claims it always turns out to be the case that the person is eating significantly more than they have claimed. Always.

Explanation is simple: The author either lied to herself or she lied to us. Her diet and workout plan did not violate the laws of physics, so she's wrong.
Do you think this is a civil way to respond to a point? Would you like me to talk to you like this in real life? How would you feel if I did? Or how might you expect me to react to you if you spoke to me that way?

I used to hold HN to a higher standard than say YT comments, and I hate to say it but yeah it's really not what it was.

I'll reply to the actual point to the more civil commenter above.
One of the reasons this works is because your body has enough time to feel sated. At least it works like this for me because if I eat fast I will be able to eat much more than if I ate slow.

I think it also helps with digesting since you chew longer.
>Diets often do improve cholesterol, blood sugar and other health markers in the short term, but these gains may result from changes in behavior like exercising and eating more vegetables

um, "changed in behavior ... eating more vegetables" -aka- "diet". So in other words "fad and crash diets" don't work. But "improving your diet" does and always has.
...less important if the rate of consuming calories can be otherwise adjusted up above the input rate.

Startup employee: embrace the chaos, it's part of the reward
I've been experimenting with keto and have lost 12kg over the last 3 months. Bread was my nemesis - I love(d) the stuff. I read somewhere (sorry, can't remember) that in the UK in the 1950s, standard doctors' advice to women who wanted to regain their figures after childbirth was to give up potatoes and bread. Believe me, pasta and rice hadn't even begun in the 1950s in the UK (apart from rice pudding!) so keto-lite might have been around for longer than we think.
Some weeks ago I saw an article that said that doing exercise is basically useless to lose weight.

Now this article.

There's no solution, then, right?

LOL. What happens is that this article is confusing. At the end it says: "I recommend mindful eating". That's what basically a diet is. I mean, a permanent diet, so to speak. I guess what the author is saying is "if you stop your diet, you will gain weight again", and to that, I reply: thanks Captain Obvious!

Do you think a 512MB bucket might be more optimal compared to a 1GB bucket? 2x less data required to be read when restoring an erasure coded bucket, and 2x quicker restore times, for only a 2x increase in bucket metadata costs? Erasure coded bucket slices (around 85MB per slice assuming 6/9 Reed Solomon) should be just right to amortize disk seeks.

The word diet has several definitions. The author is using the verb meaning to "restrict eating", not the noun "what one eats". It seems silly to overload a word like that, I think a new one would be more accurate.

I feel like the odd one out considering an academic career in my engineering PhD program. I don't think the attitude you're describing is all that common in many technical fields these days.

I'm sure it depends on the field, the university, and the department culture, but isn't that what admissions interviews and open house are for?
Depends. First, you may not have gotten the first job at all.
Second, I doubt any one would find out about a rigged letter. If it is totally fake (you never worked there) then there is a bigger chance.
You say "luck and network", I say "grit". I'm curious to know if there is some experiment we could perform that we both agree could settle the matter?

For example, imagine we assign 'grit' ratings to students who finish high school. Later we find that students with high grit scores tend to complete a university degree much more often than those with low grit scores. Would that change your mind about the importance of grit?
Pricing for AWS Lambda is complicated, but reading the examples clarifies things... a bit.

Is The Lambda free tier something separate from the free tier you get on first signing up for AWS? I used up my AWS EC2 free tier years ago and I don't think you are eligible again once you use your free tier. I wish they'd put regular pricing at the top instead, i.e. for someone who doesn't qualify for the free tier you start paying from request #1.
Author surviving without eating or drinking six years piqued my curiosity too.
This makes no sense to me.
Quote from the article:

"If dieting doesn’t work, what should we do instead?
I recommend mindful eating — paying attention to
signals of hunger and fullness, without judgment, to
relearn how to eat only as much as the brain’s
weight-regulation system commands."

From the dictionary:

di·et - verb - restrict oneself to small amounts
or special kinds of food in order to lose
weight.

So instead of dieting they are suggesting dieting?

What about a huge number of people who did lose weight permanently and successfully through calorie restriction?
Well, (1) and (2) don't seem so orthogonal to quantum mechanics. Rather they'd explain them.
I mean this with full empathy for your situation.

It really is that simple.

Several months of eating fewer than 800 calories and not going to the gym at all would result in massive weight loss... except for a very tiny person.

It's not sanctimonious.
The UX of the official Linux desktop Telegram client is really nice, IMHO. Simple and snappy even on a low-powered netbook. Syncs perfectly and immediately across devices. Copy/paste/drag/drop of images and files works very well. I also like the option-on-hover "drop here to quickly send compressed photo / drop here to send without compression" for its ease of use. Although given I had to explain some people, less curious / techsavvy people may not discover it or notice it.

But yeah, no encryption to speak of. So I'm no longer going to recommend Telegram over Whatsapp :) Just pointing out how much I like the UX of the Telegram client, no reason why you couldn't have that on a properly encrypted platform, after all :)
I know that synthetic tests only mean so much, but are these scorings roughly linear? I'm just kind of bluesy away at a ten times difference in power over my laptop's card. I guess it's been a while since I've had a desktop, or bought a demanding game for that matter.

So now we have a number of countries that, like the UK, want to have the benefits of being in the EU, but none of the responsibilities. If Poland wanted its "sovereignty" why did it join the EU? Now that it's joined the EU, why does it refuse to play by the rules?

Isn't it too late now to think about sovereignty, especially for the last two batches of countries to join, long after the establishment of the current trend for "ever closer union"?
