It is not surprising that the dig site is near (about 30 km) Plovdiv[1], one of the oldest continuously inhabited places in the world. It was a settlement 6000 years ago.

Glycogen is necessary for high intensity exercise, but you are mistaken that carbs are necessary for glycogen. When you are keto-adapted and eat low carb, two things happen that most people overlook. First, you get enough "trace carbs" in your diet that you have glycogen in your muscles for exercise. Second, your body can synthesize glycogen!

I've eaten LCHF for 10 years and regularly exercise with CrossFit (arguably the highest intensity workout most people will do) and yoga intermixed with athletic activities like hiking, skiing, and surfing.

My suggestion is to properly keto-adapt over 3 to 6 weeks before concluding that you can't exercise without eating carbs.
Yep it's coming, and that's right where you'll find it -[I'm one of the authors].

Really great to see people interested. Happy to answer questions in the meantime.
this is kind of like a bunch of liberal arts majors reading extremely cutting edge physics or mathematics papers and laughing to themselves how it "doesn't make any sense".
Any links on the oldest writing in the world being found in Thrace claim? It seems pretty unlikely as, to my knowledge, the Thracians of classical Greek times were completely illiterate.

What Hondor said, and it's extremely capital-intensive to develop a mine to production. Even after all the geoexploration to find a deposit, it's on the order of $1B - $2B to get into production. You have to move and inspect hundreds of tons of rock to find a carat of diamond in most mines [1].

Mined diamonds can't ever compete with CVD diamond synthesis costs. As more CVD producers come online, I think we'll see prices for synthetics drop drastically. There's a lot of margin available for market-grabbing.

Isn't AMP available as an open-source library? I don't see the lock-in.

Besides, Google has announced that search rankings will be affected by speed, not by what library you use. So, if your site is already optimal (doesn't benefit from AMP) or you want to use some competing project that also does a great job, you won't be penalised.

I don't see the walled garden argument here.
Hey I wrote that! Man, I love seeing stuff like this pop back up. At least someone read it. <3

I think the underlying problem here which will have to be addressed at some point is that there's no recourse and often no real communication when a company decides to ban a person or delete content.

There needs to be a consistent freedom-of-information style mechanism where someone can request a review of a decision by a human, and a non-generic explanation, accompanied by a chance to download a copy of the deleted content.
You reminded me of Google Gears (disclosure: I worked on it), which was supposed to have played a part in getting the W3C committee to work on HTML5 seriously.

Likewise, HTTP2 languished for a long time, but took off quickly once SPDY was implemented in Chrome + Safari + Firefox.

As I was told, the best way to spur a standards body into action is to threaten to make them irrelevant.
Let me give a different perspective.

I used this lifestyle to build a remote team up to 14.

I slipped into this accidentally because my startups customers were from asia. I got hooked on the travel quick and did it whenever I could.

I also speak at conferences which helped as well.

1. relationships. Focus on a few countries not all. Switch it up between them. Otherwise you have the shallow relationships problem.

2. Have a goal. In my case it was just building my startup via hiring and sales.

3. Experience and learn the local culture. It helped shape not only my business model but also my outlook on a few things. Also learn what the locals feel is bad. Don't just look for the good.

4. Know when it will end. I made that decision in early 2016 starting this early 2015.

This has caused me to love the lifestyle moving from sf to tokyo.

Nuances: I had customers. My company also has funding. The customers abroad came before the funding. We are an open source company so not all hires were from approaching people I met abroad but it got us a few.

Hope this helps!
No worries. "In expectation" is indeed a technical term, in the same sense of "expected value".

Government construction projects, at least in the US, "go over budget and are late all the time".

Private construction? Not so much, certainly nothing like 3x the estimated cost.
Very true, though on the other hand, we might have finally discovered an actual useful side of this "social media".
Agreed. My blog post was meant more like: where do we go from here? How do we take what we learnt and use that to make HTML better?
it is.

for me, memes were part of rehabilitating political views I might have never considered as legitimate otherwise
As a long-term ketogenic eater (10 years), here are my top simple tips. Unfortunately they were not gleaned using machine learning.

1. Watch your protein. Most people when first going keto will eat too much protein and not enough fat. Protein has an insulinogenic effect when eaten in quantity. Keep protein below 8 oz per meal. Don't be afraid to eat more fat.

2. Avoid cheese. Yes, it's technically low carb, but it repeatedly throws me and my girlfriend off (also a low carber).

3. Avoid nuts. Yes, like cheese, nuts are delicious. But they're a slippery slope. Life will be easier if you avoid them.
This has been happening a lot with words, Negro to African American, Indian to Native American, moron, idiot, and retard were all once medical terms, now replaced by mentally challenged, midget to little person, queer also once a medical term, replaced by member of LGBTQ. Many disorders are being replaced by acronyms, ADD, ADHD, PTSD etc.

I think removing the humanity from these words is part of the point, because people are naturally judgmental, if they hear "Operational Exhaustion" they think "Oh, just tired then", not that there is a medical issue. You can't use "mentally challenged" as an insult precisely because it's had the humanity sucked out. Assuming that a term having "humanity" means for it to have emotional connotations.

Words are stretched and tortured such that it's difficult to immediately derive the meaning, which again is the point, to get you to use your logical brain rather than your more emotional lizard brain.
It's the only culture people are __in mass__ producing right now.
Apoligies, what is LCer?
Well I was skeptical, wondering if maybe people posted darker / grayer images because of where they live; so seasonal affective depression (SAD) was causing the depression, not that depression was swaying people's filter choices. However this study seems to account for that causation (I only skimmed it quickly):

"We also checked metadata to assess whether an Instagram­ provided filter was applied to alter the appearance of a photograph."

[...]

"A closer look at filter usage in depressed versus healthy participants provided additional texture. Instagram filters were used differently by depressed and healthy individuals. In particular, depressed participants were less likely than healthy participants to use any filters at all. When depressed participants did employ filters, they most disproportionately favored the “Inkwell” filter, which converts color photographs to black­ and­ white images. Conversely, healthy participants most disproportionately favored the Valencia filter, which lightens the tint of photos."

> Also, I think detecting depression premtively via social media is a terrifying idea.

Yeah, they also called their model "Pre­-diagnosis". :)

I was going to work on this. It's really interesting how it works and it is now producing 26 MW of electricity (40% of Rwanda's supply). It's estimated to have capacity to generate another 800 MW.

The technology started with a local brewery needing a stable power source. It's super cool. The platform they use is huge.
HTML may have intended to deliver semantic markup, but web application developers want pixel-perfect layout. That ship has long sailed.

No disagreement about excessive scripting, ad serving and other bloat. But those are orthogonal to my points. Are there some things in AMP that would make HTML faster or improve the UX? If so, let's evolve HTML based on what we learnt.
I write "Analogous to the above construction, we now have the following." This is stilted for a normal article, but is the expected academic style. Academics can write well enough to reach their peers. Complaining that every academic is not good at writing (see, I did it again!) is a bit like saying that policemen are not good novelists.
They're already using CVD diamond coatings on the edges of high-end surgical instruments.

Detroit's 2 speed recovery
My friend runs a perfectly legitimate business making holsters for firearms, real, airsoft, whatever. Maybe just a step up above what you'd find in your army/navy surplus store.

Stripe's TOS expressedly forbids these, yet all they are is just a hunk of plastic not unlike those old tacky blackberry holsters that people used to have a few years back.

So yes, be in the "wrong business", you can't even sell a bit of plastic or leather because it's shaped wrong.
You can buy the cut gemstones pretty cheap too. My wife is an artist; she has a massive catalog that contains various created "precious" gemstones for very reasonable prices.

The finished jewelry itself can stand to be more expensive, as creating that piece is an art.
I'm an international tax lawyer and I sense a normal foreign investor trying to do normal tax planning.

One quick example: your foreign investor buys shares in your Delaware corporation and hits the big time. The foreign investor dies before selling out. Shazam. 40% estate tax. In contrast, your foreign investor owns shares of a Cayman corporation that owns that Delaware corporation. Same big time. Same death. No estate tax.

Second normal tax planning move. Go ask Mr Google about corporate inversions. Go on. I'll wait.

Ok. You're back.

Guess what? Your company started life as a foreign company and will never need to go through an inversion -- because it is already a foreign corporation.

Bullet dodged.

I could go on, but I'm going to go get some frozen yogurt.

Happy weekend to you.
So where can I find the address to direct the letter-writing campaign to name it "Vekta?"
I don't know. Fermi paradox has never bothered me too badly. Between possible great filters (behind and/or ahead of us), the time and distance involved in species discovery and travel, and the fact we're still apparently pretty early in the universe's lifespan ... it seems reasonable to me that we may be some combination of rare and early. So, Group I seems reasonable.

One potential "great filter" always stood out as likely to me, even if all the other leaps before we came along had been made:

That filter is developing the combination of (i) self-aware intelligence to a degree that you are capable of deep layers of abstraction, (ii) the physical ability to adeptly physically build complex creations, (iii) an inclination toward social living that encourages cooperation. Other relatively high intelligences have evolved here on earth: octopuses, dolphins, elephants, etc. But it's hard to imagine any of them being physically capable of dramatically modifying their environment and building complex, useful creations. And we mammalian humans, dolphins and elephants are all social and cooperative to some degree, but octopuses don't seem to be. The combination of these three occurrences is extremely powerful, but may also be extremely rare. And it's difficult to imagine a space-faring civilization that wouldn't need all 3.

And Group 2 seems reasonable too. In particular, it's interesting to consider that while we currently hold an expansionist mindset because expansion has driven the course of our civilization, this may be a temporary thing. It makes sense when competing locally with enemies (other tribes, cities, nations, empires, etc) that are very similar to yourself. And we believe that survival and expansion go hand in hand. But it may well be the case that intelligent species generally discover that survival is maximized when not expanding aggressively, beyond some point, and when conserving resources. Hiding themselves so as to minimize the risk of contact with other alien species may go hand in hand with that as well.

So, between seemingly plausible filters in both Group 1 and Group 2 explanations, I think it's reasonable to entertain the possibility that it'll be a long time before we meet another alien civilization, if we ever do.
I have a good attention span and am not easily distracted by sites like HN, but I've noticed that eye strain is a big problem. Also, like you mentioned, chattering coworkers (I've only worn earbuds so far; I need to drag my ATH-M50s to the office) is a big issue.

We're in an open floor plan and so I don't get more than maybe 20 minutes of focus at most before people talking near me disturbs me.

Maybe it's because of the eye strain difference, but I can sit and read a book for hours upon hours and not have an issue while something about sitting at a desk and staring at a computer makes me want start to fidget and look elsewhere.
Unfortunately, the ephemeral nature does have its downsides. It guarantees that most of the posts will be short, stupid reposts of old content. However, you can't have true anonymity without the limited lifetime of posts. Also, it accelerates natural selection. Garbage memes won't make it to the next thread.
4chan, or more specifically, /b/, moves fast and several mechanisms (like the 150-image limit per thread) are in place to keep it that way. The limited lifetime and ephemerality of content encourages people to save things they find good, to be reposted later and frequently for others to see.

Therefore the /b/ experience, although often trashy at best, vulgar and hateful at worst, does allow good content to organically bubble to the top, and not just by absent-mindedly clicking the 'reblog'/'retweet'/'share' button, but by individuals uploading the same saved image or composing a derivative work. It's the internet equivalent of one-off barroom quips, of graffiti in bathroom stalls, of spray paint tags on urban blight. It's us humans at some of our best, and some of our worst.
I know I'm just burning karma here, but this really triggers me.

Andrew Ng gives you a free introductory course in one of the hottest topics in computing, and in exchange asks you not to do one thing. And you do that one thing. I have my solutions in octave, and it would be really convenient for me to back them up on github, but I keep them on a usb stick for this very reason. I am respecting the man's wishes who was so kind as to teach me about machine learning.

You should take them down if you don't have the explicit permission to share them as the honor code states. You don't have explicit permission, do you?
Well, Apple tried for the iPhone, and I do believe the watch actually does have a synthetic sapphire screen.. Apple purchased a major stake in a sapphire-making business [1]. But it seems that it still was a bit on the tricky side compared with the recent upgrades in glass technology.

The only negative side effect (possibly unrelated) has been that I need a much cooler sleeping environment to be comfortable.

Should that be warmer instead of cooler? I find that my body temperature goes down when I'm fasting, so I need the room to be warmer to compensate.
I'm half French and half Iranian. I love saffron. It would be nice if the local Mediterranean/Indian/Iranian restaurants had access to more saffron, instead of diluting it with orange coloring.

I grew up in Detroit and I go back every few weeks. I actually disagree with the premise of this article. While neighborhood revival has lagged behind downtown it is happening.

I watched a video of Mayor Duggan this week where he stated that for sixty years the policy of the city was that decline was unstoppable and that all they could do was manage it. He said that has changed completely and that they're committed to growth. He showed a plan to connect two university neighborhoods with a biking and walking trail.
It's very very important for even intuitive things to be backed by research.
Call me a dick but I don't believe Facebook "owes" anyone a review or explanation. You're playing in their sandbox.
Another anecdote. I tried keto on and off for 2 years while trying to achieve my former triathlete performance. I felt good at the beginning; lost some weight and felt more energy, but it quickly declined and I was never able to perform well.

Last year I was introduced to books like Finding Ultra, Whole and Proteinaholic, and went on a high carb diet.

Today my diet is based on beans, lentils, potatoes and fruits and I'm performing 15-20% better than my previous peak from 15 years ago (I'm 37 now). As a bonus, with the amount of fibber I consume, I never had digestive issues again.
This reminds me of one of my favorite Onion headlines:

Yeah, the animation restarting is awful. Ideally, it'd morph to the new values, or tick by on a timeline, depending on the type of data. The restarting animation is the worst action I can think of, aside from not updating, at all. I didn't see any configuration for that, but, it's probably possible to avoid it relatively trivially.

There are a few charting libraries with explicitly covered live data support; I'm just surprised it's a complete afterthought for a library that uses React (which I've always thought of as being designed explicitly for providing a good abstraction for a "live" View and ViewModel).
I've been trying to be low carb for the last couple years and I think it's overall gone well, but I really struggle with what to eat still.

I hear your points about protein, cheese, and nuts, but then what do you eat? Can you list out a few complete days of your meals?

I used to think the theme tune went 'The wombles of Wimbledon: common are we' but actually it's 'The Wombles of _Wimbledon Common_ are we'. I had never heard of Wimbledon Common, although it's only 4 miles from where I was born.
Very nice. I took the class twice and think it is easiest to use Octave, but for after taking the class these Python examples might help some people.
The issue with that is we are assuming that someone has the same freedoms in a public park that they do in a hotel lobby. Some are truly unalienable, but if the manager wants you out, damn your freedom, you're on private property.

I'm not sure what the remedy is, if there can be one. fb is essentially a social utility, but it is a private entity and since you click a checkbox under a terms of service, so they can do whatever they want.
It might have an earth-like planet in terms of orbit and composition, but I highly doubt that it would have life on it.

Proxima Centauri is a flare-type star, meaning that it it unpredictably brightens across its entire spectrum from infrared to x-ray. A planet would have to have a really thick atmosphere to protect against that, and a thick atmosphere can easily run away like Venus.

Without a thick atmosphere, any burgeoning life would have to deal with random bursts of energy that could cause damage to that lifes equivalent of genetic coding.
Have you read about the Pomodoro Technique[0]? I use that, just a simple software timer in the corner (K.I.S.S.).

Plus regular exercise, healthy eating, getting enough sleep, and avoiding things that cause you to crash (soda, junk food, sugar in coffee, etc). Some colleagues have found standing desks useful, but that's very individual.

I use a vertical mouse but that's to avoid RSI, not to increase productivity (e.g. Anker 2.4G, or 3M Ergonomic Mouse). I also use a keyboard with Dome or Scissor Switches (think: laptop keyboard) on purpose since the depression pressure is lower (i.e. your fingers work less hard per keypress) which also helps with RSI. I also set brightness around 20-30% on LCDs and turn DPI on Windows up to 125% to help with eyestrain.

Can you confirm that when you say 8 oz you're only referring to the amount of protein as opposed to the total weight of the food delivering the protein (meat, eggs, etc)?
What is your caloric intake/deficit? Not eating will reduce that. But as your bodyweight drops, your baseline goes down too. So you might just be eating the same amount of food and are at a stable point. Need to cut more food to cut.

I took that course from the pre-Coursera Stanford videos, when someone from Black Rock Capital taught the course at Hacker Dojo. Did the homework in Octave, although it was intended to be done in Matlab.

It was painful. Those videos are just Ng at a physical chalkboard, with marginally legible writing. All math, little motivation, and, in particular, few graphics, although most of the concepts have a graphical representation.
