The body is homoeostatic and will try to repel any change in body composition and weight. While it is also correct that different people have different metabolism and gut flora that affects our calorie conversion from different foods, the answer is yes. If you count your calories reliably, you can reliably lose weight by adjusting your calorie intake to match your body. If you throw out your body's own function of regulating its weight by measuring your food, you can accurately predict what you'll weigh in, for example, five months. It does not take years.

Noteworthy however is that with change to body composition, your TDEE (known as the amount of calories your body needs to maintain its current weight) changes. However it can easily be accounted for when losing (or gaining as may be the desired outcome for some people) in a controlled way.

What if I don't want to use it on a phone?
i understand your sentiment here, and in the view of history this is true. The problem is that now, or very soon, we are/will be in a state where the 1% can easily put down the 99% politically, socially, financially and yes militarily. So there may be a reckoning at some point. But it will and badly for the 99%. This was mostly true throughout history as well, it's just become a more certainty now.
In Israel, in the 50's-80's, in government housing there was a kind of rent that accumulated towards payment of your house. And i'm not 100% sure, but maybe even if you needed to move houses(in coordination with government rent company), the collected money would have transported with you to your new house.

EDIT: just to add context - Israel had a huge challenge - it was created with the goal of being a home for every jew globally - and most have come - which lead for a huge demand for housing, for many poor people. And for the first decades of it's history it was mostly successful at that. And it didn't seem to inhibit growth or employment.
They really just dropped support and left it a broken mess. It kinda looks like you can federate with them if you disable TLS, but messages are apparently just dropped. This is worse than if they just killed it, as people tend to blame XMPP instead of Google.
"useless degrees" seems to be used in this context to mean

Means degrees that don't indicate you learned how to think and how the world actually works. My distinction isn't by discipline. My distinction is by the intellectual ability of the individual holding it.
To directly answer your question: if you want to use a heuristic for losing weight, it should not be to count just carbohydrates or just fats or both together -- but your total calorie intake.
No. But rich will not give up their power. Anarcho-syndicalism has the answer and there are very successful experiments in modern days Spain with communas.

I second that. I've got one (kickstarter) and the only thing that triggers the nausea for me is running perpendicular to the direction I'm looking. One of the games I've downloaded has letters and signs you have to lean in really close to read, and I've found no discomfort in that. Maybe it affects other people, though? For me, I'm a little myopic but I take my glasses off to wear the headset so my focusing muscles are a little bit frazzled anyway.
Anyone know of a good walkthrough if you get stuck?
There are people at all levels of society who's agenda is "make them selves as rich as possible" from drug dealers and pimps to restaurant owners, car dealers, realtors, lawyers, doctors, you name it. Nothing special about corporate executives.
Honestly. Or leave a goddamned voicemail. Nobody leaves voicemails, so if you leave one, I'll listen.
In addition to the distance cues the brain derives from eye musculature he mentions, there are also distance cues based on audio perception. This perhaps explains why dramamine has an odd impact on VR motion sickness.

The audio tech in this area is pretty weak. Dolby Surround is about "gee whiz" not detailed modeling of environments with customizations for the impulse response of each moviegoer's ear canal. Lots of work to be done.
Thanks for sharing your harrowing story. I really think we should treat texting and driving at least as harshly as drunk driving, possibly even considering draconian measures like disabling phone access while in motion. I'm not typically a fan of draconian, totalitarian measures, but we clearly haven't evolved the cultural or legal framework to handle this.
The truth about what? Hogan/Terry's cock or Thiel being gay? Is the Freedom of the Press flag supposed to be wrapped around those?

I'm curious. Can you find one of Gawker's character assassinations that targeted somebody with political convictions that they shared? And FYI that is the radical left but you get half points for conventional leftists too.

That depends primarily on what alternative you are proposing. If you aren't discussing a specific alternative, then it's just the kind of unproductive sniping that I object to.
The currying part is the variable that you give to the first function. In the first function the prefix variable is stored in the local scope of the big arrow function that is returned. This ability of functions to remember variables from the scope in which they were created is called closures, and storing a variable like this is a closure. Using closures to generate functions with preset variables is currying.
I'm not sure I call a revolution "a win" - see the French revolution (hundreds of thousands dead in cleansings, country ruled by ruthless dictator) or Bolshevik or Chinese Communist Revolutions. I'm finding it hard to come up with a positive counterexample.
Access to capital gives larger landlords preferential rates, terms, and prices compared to individual buyers.

Unless the rental unit is a standalone single family home (and sometimes even then), economies of scale in maintenance and upkeep result in those costs being cheaper to a landlord.

Downpayments required for loans with good terms have opportunity cost to the buyer. On average over the long term, it has been appropriate to assign that downpayment a discount rate which is a net negative against average market returns.

If realestate markets are stable or reasonably increasing, mortgages are safe. But renting reduces risk of being stuck in an upside down loan, and risk reduction has value.

Despite all of these factors, you're right that rent includes profit, so in many cases it's wiser to purchase. But it's not as globally true as the parent comment suggests. The best choice comes from a balanced assessment of a variety of factors.

I won't link to any studies but regarding [2] (gut microbiome] does affect it ever so slightly. I'm just stating things from memory now, but I remember reading that our gut bacteria now is different from 50 years ago in such a way that a person eating (for example) 2000 calories then, would now have to eat 2200. Made up numbers, but the effect was between 5-20%.

As for your last question (food composition and satiety), tangentially related, in the literature regarding this it seems as if keto has a lot of support for weight loss. Not because of the way it affects your metabolism or gut bacteria, but because it does satiate people more adequately than other diets it was tested against (regular western, Scandinavian and paleo).
Honestly, I do not even care about how "fair" the wealth distribution is. They have their billions. All I want is some job security. I think most average people feel the same way.

I agree that it makes Windows 10 highly toxic and unlikely to be touched, and that it's a horrific behavior.

I just think it came about as a result of a number of rational and ethically ~neutral decisions, rather than the level of deliberate malice and anticompetitive practice the Microsoft of the 90s had.

I quite enjoy using the current VR systems, Vive in particular is very impressive although not at all practical for most people.

PSVR is impressive and what I think will be the most successful system as it the best value and already has a ~40m user install base where it will "just work".

For me the biggest issue is using any of these systems for more than 20-30 minutes is uncomfortable as you have this big unit sat on your face. Whereas when I sit down to game I like to do so for a couple of hours but that just isn't possible (for me) with VR.
I get that Museums aren't well funded but I feel like ten quid isn't enough value being returned to the owner. That owner didn't know what they had and was taken advantage of, even if it was for a good cause. I hope their name becomes part of the story of the device at least.
The scale of their power is what makes them special. Tell me, when was the last time you made a decision than tanked an entire regional economy, or perhaps ruined the finances of a thousand families while lining your pockets? When was the last time you decided to simply ignore the law and then had the government come to you shaking how to change it to make you legal again? When was the last time you had law changed for your personal benefit? I don't think you can.

That's what makes it different.

All true, and the problem exists in many geographies. However, I don't think a shortage of housing is caused by rentiers or super-rich, which is the topic of the article. More to do with government policies in most cases.

> our eyes 'explore' the visual field through quick movements and readjustments and this process inherently locks together the proprioceptive signals from the ciliary and ocular muscles to the stream of information from the retina. By only providing screens, we can't simulate this process in a natural way and our body will detect it.

That's the point of the light field displays GP mentioned. They also encode depth allowing the eyes to refocus on the correct depth corresponding to the object's virtual position.

Put differently, a LFD reconstructs photon paths, as if you were looking into a window facing the recorded object.

The remaining engineering problem is that those microlens arrays step down the effective resolution of the display, so you need much higher DPI to get the same sharpness as a non-LFD would get you.
The body is very efficient in storing fat, more than carbs or protein. But burning fat is inefficient. But this is just from the top of my head.

I think its just a lot easier to eat a lot of carbs. Fats and protein make me much more saturated more quickly.

I don't think there is some magic formula.
> Schizos (correlated with IQ)

Schizophrenia may (or may not) correlate on the phenotype level, but genetically, they are inverses. Genetic risk for schizophrenia lowers IQ in GCTAs, genetic correlation, and family studies. If you select for intelligence, you will get less schizophrenia, and if you select against schizophrenia, you will get more intelligence.
I realise the letter starts with a disclaimer about not attacking the creators, who seem to have been browbeaten into actually endorsing it, but it also spends two pages bashing them with phrases like "a feather in the cap—for members of the non-marginalized culture—hearing people", "reaping the rewards...of cultural appropriation" and "this is exploitation" which clearly apply to them more than to the PR office; internal consistency is not one of its strongpoints.

FWIW, I don't think the concept of cultural appropriation is inherently specious, but I do think many if not most accusations of cultural appropriation are, and suggesting that the idea to demo a tech product as a potential translation gadget is "exploitation" is stupid and counterproductive beyond belief. I mean, if a student at this university in future has a choice between pursuing a neat idea for an app they think might help deaf people or a different project, which way is this letter going to nudge their decision? They could have made the same point about the disadvantages of not engaging the deaf community with the project at its inception and the resulting practical shortcomings by structuring the letter as an offer of help...
Why does government have to do something? Don't you suppose it's part of the problem? We have an economic system imposed on us that is unsustainable and redistributes from the poor to the wealthy in the name of economic stability, "growth" and "creating jobs" as if optimizing those metrics will necessarily be to the benefit of anyone but the top.
Note that the comparative experiments in the original Bloom filter paper are very sensitive to the implementation details of the other Bloom filters they are comparing to. For instance, in the implementation of blocked Bloom filters, they get a false positive rate of 0.43% when using 13 bits per element. I get 0.27%, perhaps because in each small Bloom filter I am using a split Bloom filter.

I emailed one of the authors of the original paper, and, while their Cuckoo filter implementation is available, they have lost their experimental setup and comparison code.
And even Asm, while traditionally one-instruction-per-line, can have macros and some syntaxes like RosAsm's allow more than one instruction per line:

From a developer perspective many aspects of the current system (with respect to resource usage and allocation) look like technical debt. Governments may try to make ends meet with limited budgets and come up with sometimes nonsensical or just not really thought out solutions to problems. Meanwhile the world learns about the Panama papers and related things, getting the impression, that not everybody is happy with contributing back to the community at large.

The simple minded software developers solution would be to radically cut out the cruft (complex laws and tax systems) and implement a simplified version, that would be harder to game and easier to debug.
>When you register with this service, your name will be put on a "delete" file and made available to direct-mail marketers and organizations.

Yeah, I'm not super trusting that sending my name and address to marketing companies isn't going to somehow result in that same information getting passed on to companies who don't give a shit.
The problem is is that outside of startups, anything that works even halfway is going to have a long shelf life. I have seen exactly zero instances where a software solution was end of lifed earlier or at the time it was predicted to be in the enterprise (if an EOL was even defined beyond the implicit one developers set of "if it breaks after I'm gone it ain't my problem"); every single instance either had not hit its predicted end of life time yet, or was well, well passed it. Even stuff that -doesn't work at all- will be funded for refactoring rather than a rewrite.

Given that, it makes sense to, in that environment, default to "let's do this thing correctly". But that's not actually long, right, and rigid. It's often shorter than one might think, and far more flexible, as it usually means "let's do the minimum amount of features that we need, but what ones we do, let's make sure we do well, working with the user to define them, and get feedback/iterate, writing lots of test, documentation, etc along the way". The problem is that businesses tend to prioritize exactly the opposite; give us features, now now now, that have only been defined at a very high level and not actually thought about by anyone, and any time not spent on implementing features is wasted. And with that mentality, using an existing solution seems to make sense. It's only afterwards that you realize that solution brings a lot of unnecessary complexity, doesn't give you the level of control you want, didn't instill the necessary domain knowledge in the developers for proper maintenance and modifications etc, possibly didn't even solve the problem(s), but by then it's too late, you're just told to make it work.
I have two: quitting college at the height of the recession (08') and switching jobs a couple of times in a few years to increase my paycheck 4x.

I hustled my ass off, worked super manual jobs during the day, focused on networking and skill building at night. Landed a job in tech and continued to study anything and everything I could. Few years later, in a upper management role. Best decision ever. I'm learning so much, getting to work on bleeding edge tech, and getting compensated well. That said, a couple sentences explaining this path doesn't due justice to how hard it was to get where I'm at. I didn't get lucky and this path isn't for everyone.
1. Memory "bloat" is always a better use of resources than increased development time, regardless of how you have to pay for it.

2. How are Java's value types limited?

3. I find your calculation extremely pessimistic. Lambda expression are widespread a couple of years after their release, and I see no reason why value types will be different. I think that 5 years are a better estimate for wide use of value types.

The canonical example of employing existing tools might be McIlroy's shell script used as a critique of Knuth's solution to word counting [search for "knuth" here: https://www.princeton.edu/~hos/mike/transcripts/mcilroy.htm].

In fairness, I think a more intellectually honest critique would have been to write the script using literate programming. Sure it might have required McIlroy to write a tool for literate shell programming -- the will to do so being the magic trick separating Knuth from mortals. The world might have been better for it.
If something has to be done on a large scale, government has to do it.

Massive change has to be through a medium that is culpable and transparent. That is, in theory, a position only a government can or should hold.

US government needs thorough reform, but the mechanism of change has to be a government in the end.
You still end up in a revert war. Usually with a 14 year old using automated tools who makes thousands of stupid pointless edits per week, without adding anything (such as citations) of value.
Skipping over the semantics of the title, and the war over the languages (btw, all programs can be written in one APL line), I thank you and the other authors for your work.

By that argument, chemical companies would not have allowed the switch from CFCs to HFCs and then the switch from HFCs to fluoroketones.

Actually the chemical industry made huge amounts of $$$ from each transition. For instance, you can't get a generic asthma inhaler now because all of the CFC-free formulations are patented and by the time those go off patent they will have finally determined it is safe to puff fluoroketones and they will ban HFCs and there will be another decades of paying extra for asthma inhalers.
How Apple and other no. 1 brand in the world build their marketing strategy
Most users don't care because there is no way and they're not technically minded enough to complain about it. They would use it if available. I can cite many examples of non-technical users who had conversations like "do you have whatsapp", "do you have viber", "do you have X". From that it's safe to say there's a need for interoperability, and to be honest, if messengers get more important, some regulatory body will force it like they did with other things in the past.

Rent-to-own in general exists as a concept in many places, but it has a sour reputation due to the predatory practice of vanishing equity. Essentially, a renter is sold on a higher rent price on the premise that it will result in their eventual ownership. However, if they fail to make rent or must leave early for various circumstances, they have no equity to recoup. In some cases, this serves as an incentive to force out a tenant, and in worse cases, that's the design of the scheme from the beginning. Government housing programs tend not to fall under this category, but I have heard of some governments (e.g. Singapore) revoking housing rights without return of any capital as a penalty for certain violations.
All kinds of things. Large organisations (supermarket chains like Tesco) holding onto vast "land banks," new property being bought up and left vacant by foreign investors as fast as it can been build (a big problem in London and Cambridge), construction companies and their investors who want to restrict the supply to keep prices high, a lack of suitable places to build new housing (lack of infrastructure, protected countryside...). Everywhere I look I keep seeing new flats (apartments) being built where offices used to be but they are empty, so it's a bit of a mystery. Maybe these are of the wrong type or these are examples of the ones the foreign investors are buying?
The top management got to make the choice. Clearly, the CEO didn't like working for the military, or at least he made that excuse during the buy-out.

Some of the technical staff may have agreed. Mostly though, defense contractors don't end up hiring the kind of people who hate defense contracting.

Prior to the buy-out, if you wanted to make cute little household robots, would you have applied for a job at Boston Dynamics? (FYI, NO!!!)
