The title states "western-style diet", but the article is about obesity. What is the purpose of changing words around like this? Not everybody who lives in western society is fat. Plenty of people living in non-western societies are fat, some more so.

It doesn't seem very descriptive of the phenomenon.
I don't think your math adds up.

Your triple shifted version would be between -1 or 2 depending on the cut right? So, still 1/2.

This is an odd definition of "flaw" to me. I would call it a design choice, compromising accuracy over speed, which we're forced to do always, since we don't have infinite compute power. Would you call H.264 video and MP3 audio flawed by design because they prioritize bandwidth reduction over lossless reproduction?

You seem to be arguing both that glitches in physics engines are inevitable, and that they're a design choice (sacrificing precision over speed).

One option would be to follow what the MEPs are up to at http://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/map.html , which of course is not perfect, since politics is exactly about the contrary. We vote so we can offload the task of decision making.

The other is to not vote for candidates on parties that select their MEPs from the dead wood pile. The main parties will either be part of EPP or S&D, so it will be a dead vote anyway.
Interesting. May be they should just call it high fast high sugar diet though considering that it has spread across the world (thanks to McDs/DunkinDonuts/StarBucks)
This is very much untrue. I manage several open source projects and contributors save me tons of time. You have to mold contributors into the productive team members you need them to be to save you time. I often receive pull requests from first time contributors that are not immediately mergable. I don't take the approach of just merging it and fixing it myself - I do invest the time in coaching the contributor into making their pull request a strong candidate for merge on their own. This often produces returning contributors who get it right more and more often on the first try and can be trusted to write larger and more important swaths of the code. Bonus - these contributors you've worked with will often start to get in and help review entry-level pull requests, too, which reduces your workload even more for onboarding new contributors.

Contributors rock! More of them would help me get my projects done so much faster.

A grain's filesystem consists of read-only app data mounted at / and writable grain storage mounted at /var/. From Sandstorm's perspective, upgrading a grain to a new app version just means launching the grain with the new app version's read-only data, leaving the writable /var/ data untouched. The app is then responsible for detecting if any migrations are required and for performing them if so.

Some apps, such as WordPress, already have logic for automatically updating the database when the code changes. Other apps need to add some simple version-detection logic in their startup scripts.
We're getting into semantics here, but we need different words to describe fiat money that can practically be used (legally) to obtain real goods, and fiat money that no mainstream merchant is willing to accept.

When people say "real money" as opposed to "fake money", they're usually referring to the above distinction.
I wonder if this is also due to the constant stream of food-related advertisements in popular media. Those are usually for high fat, high calorie food. Most of the time, those ads repulse me because that does not look appetizing to me (I'm picky like that). But I've witnessed friends see the same ad and start craving that particular food item.
I seem to remember someone mentioning the idea that in the future you could "layer" sandstorm's grains such that you had one that was your inbox (running, say, Mailpile) and have a pass-through SMTP grain that was responsible solely for pgp-signing messages. That way you keep your pgp keys safe from any security vulnerabilities in your mail client. I could be misremembering, but it sounded like a cool idea.
Few months is no big deal.. If they ask just say you moved because your spouse for a new job and you helped manage the move and the new place so you took a bit of time off.

I've hired a lot of people and I wouldn't even question a few month gap.. Life happens. I would question more then a 6-8 month gap.
It appears in some quantum field theory calculations, in particular for Casimir Effect.

In simple words Casimir Effect consists of a force that emerges between two conductor planes that are parallel to each other. The force is proportional to sum of energies of all possible standing electromagnetic waves between the planes. In calculations for this force a divergent series of sum of all natural numbers (or their powers) appears and physicists use 1 + 2 + ... = -1/12 to calculate it (or continuation of zeta function in other points if appropriate).

Why is having the format be so concise and terse a virtue?

They could keep the flat file approach and everything about the system identical but just make it more explicit. Cron usage would become much simpler.
And there is no unique "western-style" diet, but various "western-style" diets. Italy is a western country, for instance, as well as France and thy both have different diets, and different from the one that is depicted in the photo in the article that looks like there is a burger with French fries (which maybe could quality as an "American-style" diet -- at least seen from Europe -- but people certainly eat more various food in the US...).
It is about a western diet being related to obesity, see the first paragraph for example:

> Researchers at Macquarie University have now shown that memory inhibition — the useful ability to ‘block out’ memories that are no longer useful, which depends on a brain area called the hippocampus — is linked to dietary excess.

The amount we over eat in the US is pretty unique in the world. This research is suggesting that what we eat is creating a feedback loop; our diet inhibits our ability to block out irrelevant memories which means we can't stop thinking about eating, which means we eat more of the food which makes it harder to stop thinking about eating.

Of course, if this research is true and our diet is inhibiting our ability to block out irrelevant memories that seems like it will have a lot more implications than just creating a dietary feedback loop. It could be influencing all kinds of mental disorders as well, including depression, anxiety, etc.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this has many more implications than just food related memories..
Are you suggesting that time extends infinitely into the past? Because if it doesn't, there will never be an infinite amount of time, so there won't be any point in time when this -1/12 becomes relevant to physics in this sense.

> I guess my point is more that for a mathematician it would probably be obvious that when you talk about the limit of a divergent series it could be any imaginary or intermediary value.

I'm a mathematician and I might agree (not entirely sure what you mean). But -1/12 is a concrete value so it doesn't apply here.

That may well be true but it's hard for tourists to find them. My experience of "Chinese" food in San Francisco is that it's appalling, and in New York, my Chinese wife wasn't even willing to try it. Fortunately, tourists are usually very happy with "New York diners" and other exotic American restaurants, whose authenticity is unquestioned.

Custom Software Development: Pros and Cons
Here’s what’s really going on:

You can define a function f from a subset of the complex numbers to the complex numbers where f(z) = \sum_{n=1}^\infty 1/n^z.
Be careful with the domain of this function: the series does not converge for all z. You can plug in -1 and see that symbolically, f(-1) = 1 + 2 + 3 + .... But the series does not converge for z = -1, and it is simply not true that \sum_{n=1}^\infty n = -1/12; the series does not converge; equating it to something is a nonsensical thing to do.

What is going then? Even though f is not defined for all complex numbers, there exist functions from the complex numbers to the complex numbers that -- restricted to the domain of f -- are equal to f. They "continue" f to all of the complex numbers. And if one imposes a restriction on these continuations (namely that they are analytic), then it turns out that there is a unique analytic continuation of f: the Riemann zeta function. And zeta(-1) = -1/12.

Don’t confuse the definitions here. The Riemann zeta function can be defined as the analytic continuation of the series, the series is not defined in terms of the Riemann zeta function!

"Your OpenStreetMap server in 120GB" is only 35 characters, out of 80 allowed for the title, so there's plenty of room to be more specific. "Your OpenStreetMap server of Roads in Europe in 120GB" is still only 56/80 and is much more accurate.

I use it for file storage, photo sharing, etc. An EC2 T2.medium with a gigantic EBS volume attached, and sandcats.io makes it really easy to set up a domain. I've written a couple of apps for it, there are a few things to know about what makes an app work well but the #sandstorm irc channel is really friendly and helpful.

Most unique use case of mine: my phone runs Owntracks which logs location data for walking around the city, vacations, etc. I obviously don't want _that_ on google, but am slightly more comfortable storing it in a self-hosted Sandstorm instance.
Oh go fuck yourself you judgmental asshole.
Putting the free version of Cloudflare in front of a Wordpress site is the greatest thing. I used to spent a lot of time hunting down performance/stability issues with a VPS I built, now it's almost never a problem.
In hardware, implementing a backdoor that provides a reasonable level of functionality is probably going to cause a visible change to the layout/routing, kind of like a software backdoor is going to change the hash.

I say probably because it's possible that advanced actors like the USA and China have developed tools that add features (backdoors) while making the visual layout look very similar. Then you would probably only find the backdoors by "fuzzing" the chip like you would a piece of software.
In 2011, however, it was pretty much impossible to get working DDoS mitigation for less than $100 a month

I would have loved to know who provided this service so cheaply back then. IIRC in 2011, Prolexic and BlackLotus were your only options starting at $5k/mo, and you also had to be large enough to own an ASN because GRE was your only option.
180€/mo for rent and bills? It seems pretty low for me. I'ma student in Milan and pay 450€/mo only for bill. I know other cities can be much cheaper but bills are almost the same everywhere
We have different experiences, then.

Monthly crashes are no big deal (in fact, I think, my phone crashes only once in a few months). Slight nuisance at most - e.g. if the crash corrupts Android app cache and system boots awfully long minutes, re-compiling the apps. However, I have three different mobile devices (2 phones and a tablet), from different vendors (Nokia, Acer, Samsung) that had suffered a hardware failure after some (5-8) years of use. Three dead eMMCs.

So, I'm sort of wary. It's exceptional, infrequent but happens quite unexpectedly and is very frustrating when it does. Especially if the recovery keys (which are rarely accessed by design) are lost, inaccessible (you're on the road) or misplaced.
Running a cron job that writes out it's environment and then running the job I'm testing in that environment has always worked pretty well for me. A hassle, but I've had good luck.
To be fair, technical people get weekly offers to build some cool new idea (80% of the work), for 20% or less equity.

Not saying this is you and you sound totally different, but be aware of this reaction as it will be common. Ways to stop it are to be properly validated and bring more to the table than an idea.

What you're actually saying: "Make math simple enough for regular people to understand"

Problem with what you're saying: Hundreds and Hundreds of years of history and tradition and the sheer knowledge that's been built up in the current way we do Maths.

Another problem: It's not teasing if the ideas are actually complicated. Which this one most certainly is.

Another problem: Not all Math is practical and applied, some of it almost certainly operates in a field that is "disconnected from reality".

Another problem: Your solution of using different symbols has the same problem as XKCD standards.

Another problem: "Regular people" is vague. People fear math for a reason. They can suck at it.

Another problem: This idea is also fairly old. So your part about "old simple understanding" also doesn't hold true.

Only thing we can agree on: Math can suck at communicating ideas if you're not used to it and/or don't have the context and knowledge.

The Typography of ‘Moon’
It sounds like this was a conference presentation, which are usually not peer-reviewed in biological sciences, so I would be very careful about drawing any conclusions from it.
The other YouTube popularization that regularly irks me is when people beam about how "there are lots of different sized infinities", without explaining that when mathematicians use the word "size" and "infinity" in that context, it means cardinality (technical term) of an infinite set, within an explicitly defined set theory that includes the axiom of infinity (all technical concepts).

I read about this anecdotally regarding specifically foreign language teachers who go abroad and practice a foreign tongue almost exclusively when unwinding with the help of the cheap local ferment, on their return they find the fluid conversation ability really only surfaces when intoxicated, and speaking fluent Spanish while drunk at a party is impressive to no one.
Really ? There were 5 referenda on the EU's coming into being. The EU lost all but one of them. So it's really more of a tyranny of the minority. Clearly one cannot get rid of the EU by voting against it - as it would be gone already.

The referenda:

1) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_European_Constitution_r...

2) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_European_Constitution_re...

3) Same referendum in Spain (technically also in Luxemburg)

4) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dutch_Ukraine%E2%80%93European...

5) Brexit https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_withdrawal_from...

6 - sort of) The election on blocking EU policy with regards to debt in Greece under Syriza, which the EU clearly lost

Needless to say, the EU is not a big fan of elections. You see, the big problem with Brexit, according to the highest EU authorities is that David Cameron allowed the vote in the first place [1].

[1] (for example) http://www.smh.com.au/world/brexit-results-spurned-europe-wa...

They have since realized just how stupid this attitude is politically, but clearly they were expecting Cameron to do what all other governments have done when EU lost an election or a vote : ignore the vote, and soldier on regardless.

The only thing the EU ever cared about is big business and huge multinationals, a fact that is blatantly obvious from reading articles about the commission. It is not a government of the people, as it rejects the people and is rejected by the people (You should visit even Brussels itself and talk to the locals). And of course it's treatment of Greece showed what the EU will do when people get in trouble. Kick them - hard - when they're down. After your pension retroactively gets downgraded by almost 50%, they'll do that a second time just to improve election prospects for foreign politicians.

By all democratic principles, it should be destroyed. That will be a great day for democracy.
It doesn't mean that there are an infinite number of real things that add up, it means that the mathematics we use to model physics comes up with infinite sums of abstract things.

Nevertheless, there are infinite sums of "real" things in physics too. I have put "real" in scare quotes because it turns out they aren't real :)

In quantum electrodynamics, the charge of an electron turns out to be infinite. And it turns out that in Real Life, the charge of an electron is indeed infinite. Ish.

... but we know it isn't, right?

So what happens is that the real electron gets surrounded by positively charged "virtual" particles. Virtual particles are basically quantum probabilities of a particle appearing out of nowhere with its antiparticle (among other things). So you can say that with some probability, that particle is there. Since there's an electron nearby, the positively charged particle is attracted to the electron, while the negatively charged antiparticle is repelled. This screens the electron charge. With an infinite number of virtual particles, the electron's charge is screened enough to become finite again. Basically, we subtracted two infinities and got something finite. The subtraction done here is called renormalization -- and a similar thing is being done in the -1/12 sum. While mathematics tells us that divergent series can be rearranged to get any "sum", this trick is often used in physics -- provided you can justify that rearrangement.

In fact, if you probe an electron hard enough (by bombarding it with other charged particles with tons of energy), its apparent charge increases since the particles used to measure its charge "pierce" the shielding.

Of course, this is all really a fancy way of saying that charge itself is energy-dependent, and what we call charge is actually the 0-energy charge.

But for modelling purposes, virtual particles work better, and thinking about things in those terms gives a physicist a cleaner abstraction boundary to deal with. You get infinities everywhere, though.

This is basically an example of the pattern I'm talking about. Abstractions in the model may have all kinds of infinities popping up. In the real world, these don't really manifest themselves because they're not directly linked to observables. You can apply your model to your detection mechanism to get values for non-observables and say "hey, look, an infinity", but that's really circular logic. The "Real Charge" of an electron isn't something we see. Virtual particles aren't something we see; unless we make them into real particles, but you can't do that to the infinite virtual particles around, so you'll never see an infinity.

The second it doesn't make your task easier, it makes it much harder than programming with code.

Trump is having a melt down
While I agree with many of the points made, his estimation of the number of round trips is way off. For a start, TLS negotiation requires several round trips before you even start speaking HTTP. Secondly, browsers (depending on vendor, version and number of domains) have a limit to the number of in flight requests. Thirdly, many pages load some assets via javascript execution, which adds another set of round trips.

As Cloudflare are very widely peered (I think they are now the most widely peered company), and as such are almost certainly closer to the end user than the origin server. This does really matter when making lots of round trips, which is in practice closer to inevitable (unless you have a small SPDY or HTTP/2 site, which is approximately no one).
