Indeed, changing habits in general seems to be a better approach than any 'fast' tricks.

That said, Could there be at least some benefit to the fast diet in that you get to experience what it's like to have lost (significant) weight?

It seems to be a common experience with addictions of various kinds that merely having had the (recent) experience of 'being clean' can be a great motivator to do it again or try and maintain it, because part of the problem is not remembering what things were like pre-addiction. It's not a magical solution, but it helps.

From my own experiences with bouts of depression, simply experiencing joy again, even briefly, would make me remember what it was like pre-depression, and would often be a first step towards 'recovery'.
Even into the 90s, my (biotech) employer at the time would advertise in New Scientist because that’s where the readership was. I agree that it wasn’t great then, but today’s NS is another level of awful.

What is the "force" here? Hiring a person via H1B is more, not less expensive, than hiring a local.
I seem to suffer from the opposite problem. For me hunger is a muted signal that I need to force myself to not ignore, lest I go without food for (easily) a day and end up woozy and so hungry that I eat whatever is nearby, or in the worst case that I wake up at night feeling hunger cramps.
Yup. Current weight is a sum of several variables: body fat, muscle, water, and digestive track contents. Nearly all day to day variation (up to three pounds in my case) is water. The long term trend is mostly body fat, but I need at least a week and sometimes up to three to see the underlying fat changes. Sometimes my weight will remain almost level for two weeks, and I'll then I'll drop 5 pounds in a few days, and wind up right back where the underlying calorie consumption said I would.

By using a one day window, the author has mostly detected things that affect water weight. Carb intake is a huge driver of water weight because of muscle glycogen replacement, which includes a huge amount of water.

This isn't to knock ketosis: If you enjoy eating that way and it encourages you not to overeat, then it's probably a great strategy for you. Might be worth checking your lipids after a few months though: I've heard of the rare person who tries the Atkins diet and shoots up to 400+ cholesterol.

Perhaps they don't want the US-bound money transfer to relate to their Cayman entity. I wouldn't worry about the source of the money and whatnot. Asking for that kind of a concession shows they're not a sophisticated startup investor. And have little respect for the founders especially given the lack of a reasonable explanation. Don't want that kind of people on board. Hey, unless the venture you're doing is a startup incubator and they're giving you 1B$+ to invest in other companies, in which case they would indeed be sophisticated ;--)

Not just that, but if we take 54 out of the 100 mentioned by that quote as being depressed (37 correctly classified and 17 misses), that means of the 46 non-depressed there are 23/46=50% false positives... I mean, maybe that's acceptable, but imagine being not depressed and getting targeted incorrectly with the same chances as a coin toss... seems like an undesirable aspect of that model to me.

Edit: they mention an alternative model too that gives about 30% true positive rate for depression but is more accurate for non-depressed (probably since it mostly classifies people as non-depressed). The whole survey methodology and everything sounds suspect though, this study is just not something I'd put alot of weight on.

Only muscles can use glycogen stored in muscles. Brain, digestive tract can only use glycogen energy from liver. Also note that eating just glucose or table sugar before marathon also helps to minimize digestion energy expenditure so most stored glycogen in liver will be used on brain and nervous tissue, not on processing food.

That doesn't sound right to me. If it's the case, then why do they bother hiring H1B?
I think we're already there - stand on a corner of your street and yell ALL BUSINESS IS EVIL!! and you're pretty much unemployable in nearby businesses. Do it publicly and under your own name on the internet and you're unemployable globally by businesses who bother to check. And why would they hire you? You consider them evil after all.
Before you jump to Bush, Licklider, "the internet", Wikipedia and the like for recent analogies, it's worth remembering that some years before Wells actually wrote this, Paut Otlet's Mundaneum and other related "world brain" projects were underway. Their fruits were very much in place and functioning, and were tragically destroyed during the Second World War, ironically the enabler of the information technologies we so admire today.
Does it really need stored energy? Parenteral nutrition in hospital works fine with plain glucose. One would assume you could just eat fruit (or drink soda, I guess) when sick, to get the energy you need right then.

Looks cool. Very similar to a service I built a few years ago: https://lanyard.fm which has setlist integration and even generated Spotify playlists of the setlist using live versions of tracks at one point. If you'd like to chat about any of the problems we faced let me know.

The site was never monetized, it was a side project between me and a couple of other guys. We struggled with data until it eventually dried up completely last year. To remedy that I've been working on a live music version of musicbrainz.org in my spare time although progress is slow. If anyone is interested in getting involved in that hit me up
If you can make whatever out of diamond, I want cooking ware. You can watch the stuff cook, it's insanely heat conductive, and very resistent to scratches, so no problem using a sharp pointed fork to stir a bit.

Problem 1: induction cooker. so use gas.

Problem 2: the pots may ignire if overheated...

I'd definitely give it a try.
Have you got a source for either of your claims?
Your Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) apparently determines a lot more of your daily calorie expenditure than your resting-energy consumption does. As in, how much you fidget, pace, shiver, etc.

New stupid weight-loss product: antipsychotics, to induce muscle dystonia! (Which, sadly, wouldn't even work; antipsychotics, despite causing massive amounts of NEAT, cause weight gain—by the opposite mechanism by which stimulants make you not hungry, antipsychotics make you very hungry.)

You should see the other side of the interviewing seat before dismissing hiring biases. Yes they are bad, but they exist for a reason. I've seen some incredibly incompetent people apply, and my experience is not unusual:

Remember, everybody that gets hired stops interviewing, while everybody who doesn't get hired keeps on applying for jobs.
The wandering bug triager was here
I read recently that basically we do not know why gaining muscle mass alone leads to weight loss. Energy expenditure theory alone cannot explain it. So latest modern speculation is that muscles affects insulin sensitivity etc. But it could be something else.

That does not change the conclusion - gaining muscle is sure thing for weight loss. It is just we do not know why.

Just needs an emulsifier. Butter and egg coffee, now that'd be something.
Fair point. There is research which shows your BMR may drop after sustained reduction in caloric intake, far below what your body weight would indicate. Probably one of the more well known recent ones was: http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oby.21538/abstrac... - which shows the effect can go on for several years.

Here's a really good article discussing caloric-reduction, impact on Leptin (key hormone involved in regulating the body metabolism): http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/calorie-partiti...

Though, careful reading suggests that the author believes that a day of refeeding (ala 4-hour body), is unlikely sufficient to trigger Leptin such that the body's BMR kicks back into high gear.
I might just be tired and dense. But does watts per second make sense here? Shouldn't the accumulated power be in joules (or Watt hours?) and the per second value just be watts?

OTOH, if you can't provide any evidence, I would ask you to withdraw your statement connecting a white man being held at gunpoint by an aggressive officer to white privilege.

No. That may be true for a tiny handful of experts, but most of them are paid less.
I also find it odd that we allow people to come to our Universities and then kick them out once we've trained them. That seems like an inconsistent policy.

The school I went to had a decent sized group of students from China, and all but one of them is back there, despite wanting a job in the US.

To be consistent then if we are nationalistic, we should either strive to keep the graduates here, or not allow them in our universities at all. Conversely if we are globalistic, then we should be fine with immigrants working here.
Indeed. I was pondering the fact that a lot of things in the experiment that are composed of mostly insoluble fiber, consistently landed on the weight gain side of the spectrum.

I assume this was a windowing flaw, in that the fiber mass was still in the digestive tract a day later, though not-at-all contributing to weight gain after later elimination.

This would also throw off all the data about oils and fats: anything that lubricates your digestive tract will make it seem like you're losing weight that day even if you're not, because other foods eaten at the same time will now get eliminated faster. (Though that really can be of help; food that spends less time in your digestive tract gets less of its nutrients absorbed.)
Synthetic diamonds are not that cheap (about 50% of the price of the natural ones), because they are not that easy to make. The large synthetic diamonds are grown in HPHT medium (>2600 degrees C), and even if they are made by a machine, they still grow at an incredibly slow rate (maybe one micron/hour), so you have to keep a huge temperature and pressure for months to get a big one - and maybe at the end it shatters and you just get 3 carat diamonds from it. So the costs are not really paperweight-ready (or maybe you have a few millions to spare for a paperweight).

The biggest synthetic diamond data I could find is 60-carat[1] unpolished (10 carat polished).

Diamonds are also not really good as a paperweight (one carat is 0.2 grams, a sheet of A4 paper is heavier than a 25-carat diamond).

They've tried all sorts of diets in metabolic chambers - and it's really quite amazing how closely the observed results track the predicted results. Determine a person's BMR, and then feed them a variety of diets higher, or lower, than that BMR, and watch their body mass (exc. water) increase, or decrease as expected.

Possibly the case that when you were eating carbs, you were putting away 3500 calories a day, and that dropped to 3000 calories a day when it was just meat? I know that just a casual stroll through the mall on a refeed day for me, I have zero difficulty putting away 6000+ calories - refined carbs are shockingly calorically dense.

Also - for some time on a Keto Diet, you are going to be dropping a ton of water - so the scale will be dropping like a rock, regardless of what your actual body weight is doing. Getting a DexaScan, or whatever lean/fat body mass assessment you prefer to see what's really going on.

Any intellectualism that's divorced from reality and impervious to critique and verification does not deserve to be called intellectualism. It's ideology. There's nothing preventing you from making 5 year plans, as long as you adjust them continuously enough. The word to best describe the Soviet "intellectuals" you mentioned would be "ideologue". A less polite way would be "a sold-out who sells credibility to a government that pays for it".

The problem is that (general intelligence aside) management skills are orthogonal to engineering/art/other creative work. This means that it takes a lot of work to find and train creators to be managers. On top of that (at least in engineering), a large fraction of the quality engineers I know actively do not want to be managers.

If we haven't seen as many screw-ups due to lack of managerial skills among engineer-managers as we've seen screw-ups due to lack of engineering savvy among MBA-managers, it's at least partly due to the fact that there are a lot more of the latter than the former.

In my opinion weight lifting shouldn t be done until 18yo unless you re a professional athlete. Chances are you will get injured sooner or later since your body is not fully developped for it. Also gaining muscular mass at a young age can cause metabolism issues later (after 30), gaining weight easier and such. Studies show it might also stunt your growth in height. Practicing sports only till about 18 then slowly moving towards weight lifting will ensure a fit&healthy body, those big biceps all kids want will come up later in life, no need to speed that up.

Hi, I recently tryed to help export saffron to Spain to an Afghan. He was introduced to me by an Afghan doctor who is volunteer at the same NGO as me.

I contacted several Spanish saffron distributors. I think that this guy was afraid of the value of the shipments and was unable to make his mind around the conditions the distributor was setting (they seemed quite logical to me)

It was a pitty cause I thought, as you do, that it could be a good way to help Afghanistan.

One think that I learned talking to the spanish distributor (Spain is a mayor exporter of saffron but unable to keep the production up with the international demand, so it's importing from Morocco and Iran in large quantities) is that it's very easy to get scammed with the quality by the producers if they get greedy.

Analisys take time and must be done on all batches. So this distributor delays the payment till the results confirm the quality of the shipment.

How do you deal with quality control and scams in Afghanistan?

Best of luck for your project!
