Whenever I relate my ketosis experience to people who ask, the biggest emphasis is on how "personal" diet is. You really can't just copy someone else's eating habits and expect the same result.

Listening to your body is very underrated skill. You can learn it (helps to have been an athlete at some point in your life) but you also have to do something about it :)
I agree, which is why I suspect that consciousness is the result of some fundamental non-computable phenomenon that our minds tap into to perform some useful function.
Can you expand on this? The cost of material for any coating is always very low, so I assume you are referring to some kind of technological advancement that makes coating easier/cheaper?
I don't see much value in continuing to debate this. You're entitled to your opinion and I respect that, but I do not share your viewpoint.
I can confirm the anecdote, I run significantly warmer when I am losing weight and colder when I am gaining. It's a very strange state of affairs.

An interesting thing to note about the pee strips, is that your urine only contains significant ketone bodies if your body is not using them all up.

I use a glucose monitor with beta-hydroxy-butyrate (ketone body) test strips for accurate measurement.
I don't contest that ketone level affects weightloss, but just to be clear, ketone pee strips don't tell you anything about your "ketone levels". They tell you the concentration of ketones expelled in your urine, which varies by a lot of things, like time of day and hydration levels.

Precision Xtra test strips will give you a far more precise and accurate measure of ketones in your blood and if you wanted to do anything quantitative like in this case study, you'd want to use those.
> In the "standard" GPL

This is only true for GPLv2. GPLv3 fixed this problem, as well as many other real problems (though I don't agree that it is as big of a problem as you claim).

> The exception granted by FreeRTOS makes perfect sense in this light.

Which exception is that? I read it as "this is kinda like the LGPL, but you also can't be 'competitive'". Also, none of this has anything to do with the statement "effectively free if you make no changes". Requiring you to provide the source does not make the software non-free.
As a counter point, I did keto for several months last year and found that my concentration and mental clarity were significantly worse while on the diet. My mind operated at about the capacity as it would have, had I slept only 5 hours the night before.
There are times i wonder if we crapified home computing by replacing pr program removable storage with a shared HDD.
This situation has been highly debated among the keto science community. I call it a situation and not a study because they're publishing preliminary results for a pilot study. Hardly conclusive.

Though this isn't a service I'd personally use, it seems useful.

One suggestion though, as hated as it might be, would be to make a mobile app. My experience with outings and shows is that you tend to forget stuff like this when you get home. You drop your bags on the floor and your body into bed.

Best of luck to you!
Most people find that their alertness and focus improve significantly on keto.

The trick is that

a) it takes quite a while for your body to get adjusted to ketosis. 6 months to fully adjust, but the primary adjustment will take at 2-4 weeks for most people

b) during this adjustment period, you'll usually feel like shit. since you're running empty on the fuel your body is used to. but many people cheat, or accidentally ingest too many carbohydrates, persistently keeping their body out of ketosis and ensuring they feel terrible endlessly and blame keto for it.
Have you considered tracking skinfold measurements too? I know my weight can fluctuate a lot just from inflammation response after a hard training run. Weight seems to have too many factors that vary at different rates for different reasons.
The simultaneous training of word representations and a classifier seems like it ignores the typically much larger unsupervised portion of the corpus. Is there a way to train the word representations on the full-corpus and then apply this to the smaller classification training?

Because--for better or worse--this raises red flags I think. I could see a lot of people getting defensive.
Yes, otherwise why would we have 700 episodes of Star Trek depicting it.
Pretty bizarre we haven't genetically modified a saffron yet to have more than three little threads of spice produced per flower. Heck, considering the variety our race managed to breed dogs into and the amount of change we created in corn and other projects, you'd think we could have done that with selective breeding alone.

This could be possible if interstellar travel was very, very, very easy. But in all likelihood the last place you're going to want to find resources is on a tiny speck of rock 20 lightyears away.
Have you talked to anyone about nerve cauterization and whether you might be a candidate? I had a family member who fairly severely injured her neck in an auto accident. Of all the solutions she tried, she swears by it as most cleanly fixing pain problems. And given that the nerves grow back in ~5 years, it's a nice balance between "not permanent" and "long enough to be worth it."

The Web version.
I'd really like to see this kind of analysis applied to a larger sample.

If someone were to put together a little app to make this sort of data collection trivial and upload it to a central (preferably cheap) repository, would people be interested in contributing their data in exchange for analysis?

Also, since this is HN, is anyone interested in building something like this? I've got an hour or two a week of spare time to chip in.

Unrelated question, mostly for OP: do you know of any publicly available databases of GI/GL info? It's really important for people with type 1 diabetes (a subject rather dear to my heart), and could also be useful for OpenAPS stuff (https://github.com/openaps).
https://yourlogicalfallacyis.com/appeal-to-emotion

What is your actual argument here?
If by "trying too hard," you mean "researched something over the course of several months instead of paraphrasing an AP or Reuters blurb," then yes I agree. And the world needs more of it.
There are several things wrong with a facile analysis like this:

* The risk is not evenly spread among all cops (desk job vs. patrol, Detroit vs. small town cops).
* It got safer because they keep changing tactics to minimize their risk. Some of those tactics are things you're complaining about: they know that people are less likely to shoot when faced with overwhelming force, which scares the crap out of normal people.
* All your links prove is that they've become successful in reducing officer deaths. They're not facing accidental death here, the drop is a deliberate effort, calling them out for being successful at reducing deaths is silly.

I'm amazed at how many people wax poetic about how awful it is that they should, say, turn on the light when their car is stopped, but have no problem asking the cops to face people who want to shoot them. And you can say there's no "war on police" because some stats are down, but doesn't that make it a bit hard to explain the parade of crazy people shooting cops simply because they hate them? You compare this to terrorists, but I think it's pretty clear that they believe they're warring against us. If, in fact, they're not very good at it, that's a good thing.

We're just asking to make our police force worse by driving anyone with better options out of the force, creating a downward spiral. Given how few people would live in a place without cops, this doesn't seem like a solution. One of the things you don't seem to realize is that the police hating culture is one of the things that helps make cops extra edgy and it makes things worse for everybody.

Now, there's a sensible option here, where we ask "how can police adapt their tactics to scare people less while remaining safe" and "how can we adapt things so that we minimize police + civilian deaths?"

I just wish we heard more talk along those lines.
Still FTP.
I don't think the downvotes were warranted. That said, I will be devils advocate here. I tend to develop on multiple machines, some of them windows.. so I like having a consistent experience. Jetbrains tools on a Linux desktop (in a VM on each host) offer that. I then keep my working git repos on a USB stick and mount them into the VM.

There's ways to work around that though.. such as host the USB over SMB and then mount the share inside of the VM.. or use a cloud service of some kind.. but it's a bit more clunky.

USB passthrough seems like a basic feature of a hypervisor IMO.
DC Leaks: Little Known Site Dumps Data on George Soros
I don't think either Wave nor Vista were poor quality products, same way I don't think Glass nor Phone were poor products. The engineering on all of these is fine for the most part. Sure, there are bugs, but not really any more than usual. The real problem is that nobody really wanted these products in the first place.

For Wave, most users didn't seem to figure out what Wave was actually useful for (and it didn't help that Google wasn't sure either). For Vista, people liked XP and dragging them kicking and screaming into a software upgrade turned out to be really hard. Vista set the architectural foundation for future Windows releases, and Microsoft had an obligation to take people off of what was then a 5-year-old operating system - much like OS X 10.0 attempted to do. Nobody seems to pay much attention to the fact that 10.0 was incredibly buggy and took quite some time to bring up to a usable state.
I meant that I don't associate my non-exercising existence with "feeling like shit", nor do I find that exercising improves my existence to an extent far enough that I could call the previous existence "feeling like shit".

I probably feel somewhat better after exercising in the long-run. But that's about it, somewhat. And most of it is extrinsic - not feeling winded is nice, having a lowered heart rate is nice. Other things have contributed a lot more to improving my general well-being than exercise.
In contrast to the title above, the article is about blockchain tech, not Bitcoin itself.

<rant>
It seems to me that only non-technical people refer to 'blockchain' without an article. For example from the article "Rather than to stay at the margins of the finance industry blockchain will become the beating heart of it.” In my experience people with technical background would instead say "Rather than to stay at the margins of the finance industry blockchain technology will become the beating heart of it.” In other words, use 'blockchain' the same way you'd use 'database'.

I confess that when I hear someone use 'blockchain' as in the quote above instead of 'blockchain technology' or 'blockchains', I immediately drop my estimate of any technical expertise they have to near zero.

There are so many moving parts that it's so easy to screw up. An amazing script can get ruined by a bad director, actors, editor, executives with bad notes, etc.

Also, I'm sure with so much money involved, people are more likely to meddle in the director's vision so you get too many cooks in the kitchen.
In my experience KetoSoy is incredibly bland and grainy and KetoChow is much better with varied tastes.
It's pretty crazy with 11 pitches rated 5.12, but it's still not the most difficult free solo that's been done. For example Honnold himself free soloed 5.13, and Dave MacLeod free soloed a 5.14b. These are only single-pitch but they're still tall enough to classify as free solo (as opposed to bouldering/highball). And don't go thinking that 11 pitches of 5.12 is harder than one pitch of 5.14. Lots of people can do 11 pitches of 5.12 without falling. Only an extremely small portion of these can send a 5.14 - rope or no rope, when someone sends that grade it often ends up in the news (well, climber news, of course).
Ask HN: How perfect was your app when you launched it?

I'm surprised that color factors had greater predictive power than presence of human faces.
Hmm I don't think you're right. I'm looking at an old bottle of ketostix brand, and it specifies Acetoacetic Acid, which seems to be some kind of ketone. Or maybe it's another byproduct?

Edit - Also, presumably the other factors like hydration and time of day could be tracked as well used to apply learning

That's because instead of trying to fill 3 movies, TV can just flow naturally until it's done. Yes, for some shows they end up with filler either because they want to drag it out, or they don't have quite enough to fill an entire last season... but for the most part it feels like TV shows don't have that pressure to fit into a very tight box.
Well, I'm sorry you aren't coming back to this post because I think you should read the reply.

The healthcare system has problems, but NOT because of most doctors. Yes, just like in every field, there are unscrupulous individuals... but most of the people I have known and worked with are not sociopaths in white coats. Just follow the money... Medicare Part D was the single biggest travesty visited on the American people in recent memory. It was literally a theft of our tax money and a gift to the drug companies. While Insurance companies, hospitals, drug companies, devices companies, etc. continue to increase gains and conspire to steal from the healthcare system (inversions, mergers, price-fixing, the list goes on...) physician pay actually represents a small percentage of healthcare costs. (Depending on who you get the numbers from, it is about 10% of the total). Believe me, when I have to get healthcare, I see the same problems you do. I've waited on hold, been over-billed, late appointments, all of it... even medical complications. The fact is, the bureaucracy is strangling any attempts at improvement.

I'll give you an example, I work in a bunch of different healthcare systems and each one of them is required to independently verify my credentials. Everything from my medical school diploma to my training and license. It requires primary source too! So every hospital--even different hospitals owned by the same system--has to do this incredibly redundant and wasteful process. Not to mention that it does nothing to ensure quality. So here's a whole army of people doing something that should be a simple database query that takes 1 minute. That's increased cost. There are these companies now that an insurer can hire to field imaging orders and determine which are appropriate and which are not. If they save the insurer even $1 over what they are being paid... then they win. Meanwhile, that's maybe $1-2 million that could've just been used to pay for care... instead it's going to a middleman simply to DENY care!

Believe me. Your frustrations are justified... but don't hang the physicians out to dry. My generation was not the architects of this disaster and we are suffering from it too. We are still individuals, wage-earners. We are not the corporations that would happily merge and invert our way off-shore. They are the real conspirators in this.
I'd be willing to contribute my data.
My exercise is scheduled, so if I am working late, I'd just have to miss it or do it another day. My exercise right now is either in the morning or shortly after work.

I drink 32 oz of water during the day before exercise and then I try to drink the same amount after. I think the question of how much raw water one should drink per day is kind of disputed right now, though.

100%. i take pills for the sodium and magnesium (they usually have potassium too but usually not enough). and avocados are a staple when it comes to potassium
We're not disputing the claim that it's helpful, we're disputing the claim that those who do not exercise necessarily "feel like shit" and would cease to "feel like shit" and/or would feel significantly better if they did exercise, when controlling for everything else.

Please don't put words in my mouth.
Interesting. But I thought there's always some insulin after every meal so it's not something that can be avoided. Maybe you mean insulin spikes are the devil?
What's interesting about this post isn't the actual diet advice, but the guidance to track and see what works for you. Different people react to fasting differently - some continue to burn calories and drop weight, some just go into starvation mode, have their BMR crash through the floor, and end up exhausted all the time because their body is fighting like crazy to conserve energy.

Likewise - some people, when they start to eat carbs, see their BMR ramp up, are full of energy, and end up running 5-10 miles a day to burn that energy off, and are pumped the rest of the day.

Also, focussing on weight to the exclusion of everything else is really horrible. It's pretty easy to lose 40-50 pounds and end up being much less healthier than you were before if you aren't careful. Having some sense of your V02 max, your strength, endurance, flexibility, etc.. are sometimes as important, if not more important, than what your weight is to +/- 20 pounds.

Everybody is somewhat different in how they'll react to various diet and exercise regimes. Understanding that, and taking a bit of time to watch how your body responds, is the important insight here.
From reading the text, it seems like those folk wishing they had been alive in 1776. (The year of the Declaration of Independence of the United States from Great Britain, which the Ethereum Classic document appears to be modeled after.) This document does remind me of reading "A gentle introduction to Unqualified Reservations (part 2)" (https://unqualified-reservations.blogspot.com/2009/01/gentle...), which includes this passage by way of a set-up:

Anyway. Our point is the conflict you call
the American Revolution. For a quick self-
test, ask yourself how close you are to
agreeing with the following statement.
(You're not expected to take this on faith
- we will demonstrate it quite thoroughly.)

Everything I know about the American
Revolution is bullshit.

The thinking behind the Ethereum Classic Declaration of Independence seems to stems from a reading of Mencius Moldbug, from which you may draw your own conclusions.
Suicide Squad was very entertaining sure it had a few missteps but it's not that bad. I mean was anybody expecting Inception? It was far more enjoyable than Man of Steel or BVS or Pan or many of the other bombs WB has made recently.
This is not necessarily needed. Because this is a rare case where not only is the mainstream media wrong but so are most other common viewpoints.
They kind of do. Prices for synthetics are typically ~ 75% of the natural equivalent. For CVD synthetics, there's significant margin in that pricing, margin that could be used to initiate price wars.

For now, the synthetic vendors are riding on diamond's traditional high pricing as sustained by artificial scarcity. They're cheaper than the naturals, but not all that much. I think it's their way of maintaining high margins during early business & market development.

I expect pricing to change when there are more suppliers and sales channels. Probably a couple of years to a definite downward inflection point.
Thanks so much. Yes, an app is definitely on the roadmap.
Big hardware companies like VW seem to still focus on "security by obscurity", because they're not used to a connected world with plenty of attackers with lots of free time on their hands.

Sorry, I've never read that book so rest assured, I'm not promoting it. Please note that the link is not to the book, it is a just a google search for the term "the truth about statins". Perhaps some sponsored ad for the book was added by google? If so, my sincere apologies for the unintended consequences.

Here's my personal experience with statins, I may be wrong here, but I'm following my compass and am open to be proven otherwise:

Doctor: "Your 'bad cholesterol' is borderline, I want you to take these statins". Side observation: when the 'Lipitor' patent expired and it became a cheap generic drug, the suggestion turned into 'Crestor' which I learned has a bit longer effective half-life, and way higher price. Me, researching the subject while adopting a different diet: "Hmm statins would have taken me _maybe_ 3% lower and here I am 20% lower after a year of a simple, self-studied, diet change. Maybe there are better ways to lower the so called 'bad cholesterol'? Further study: there's always a new statin the moment patent expires: check out: Compactin -> Simvastatin -> Fluvastatin -> Cerivastatin -> Atorvastatin -> Rosuvastatin on wikipedia (these are chemical names, not brand names, the last two are the brands: "Lipitor" and "Crestor")

So I don't know. I'm 100% sure all my doctors are well meaning and caring and I have nothing against them, but my confidence in these health suggestions, and in all the research that is funded by big-pharma, and in the new great statin of the era while america keeps getting obese and less healthy, is, how can I put it? a bit shaken.

No zealotry at all. Just prove me wrong, and I'll change my view.
