Having some physical security in a OSS-hacker-compliant form factor is really quite nice. This is not going to replace a proper HSM, and almost certainly is a less secure place to store your data than an iPhone; but it's a good start for those unwilling to give up on (the performance of) PCs.

It's worth noting that QubesOS, which is supported by this system, protects against e.g. USB-based attacks by running a virtualized Linux for just the USB port (simplified.) This has its limitations, but should be pretty decent.

If at all possible, try to ensure that this device is powered down when an attacker gets it. Several attacks are easier if that's not the case (e.g. USB-based attacks, but also cold boot attacks on the encrypted disk - the security monitoring should trigger when one opens the case, but if an attacker can still extract your disk password from RAM before the RAM fades you're in trouble...)
Most things on the dollar menu are 300 to 400 calories. 3 meals with 2 items and you're hitting around 2k calories while only spending $6 a day. Just need to give up the soda and the snacks.

Piracy fighters battle Kodi 'epidemic'
I don't know if fast food is really a problem per se. Getting a lot of calories from a restaurant visit is quite expected. That's why you do it occasionally and it's often your entire meal for the day. Like the article says, whether it's a fancy steakhouse or Burger King doesn't really matter. And fancy steakhouses existed for a while, though.

I do, though, think that the US has a problem with portion sizes. A lot of the time, any given meal is just way too large for me. I just don't really like to eat that much per sitting and sometimes I can get filled up on appetizers and I really wish there were smaller portion options in addition to the larger portion options at more places and I wouldn't waste money by plain not being able to finish the food. Especially if I would have been perfectly happy being able to have a small plate, then a small desert, and a drink, instead of one giant plate that leaves room for nothing else.

Having a somewhat warped portion size may mess with peoples' heads, especially those who want to get the most for their money. It doesn't help that the bigger portions are often only marginally more expensive. Even worse for women and children, who should be eating less in general.

That being said, I'm not really convinced the obesity epidemic is not a consequence of the average human syndrome and mental health issues and that the fast food industry isn't simply capitalizing on that as opposed to causing it. I think counting calories and lamenting how people are not doing this or that is missing the point.
Aye I havE heard the confiscation is at the discretion of the officers involved. Have known some old hats that grew in their backyard in Canberra. If the cops came knocking they usually got a fine and asked to keep things discrete for the neighbors sake. Weird as hell, have even on the rarest of occasions heard of this happening in nsw, I guess some cops don't fully back the laws they are supposed to enforce for the better occasionally.
> Abstract—We assess the case for generous government-funded maternity leave, focusing on a series of policy reforms in Norway that expanded paid leave from 18 to 35 weeks. We find the reforms do not crowd out unpaid leave and that mothers spend more time at home without a reduction in family income. The increased maternity leave has little effect on children’s schooling, parental earnings and labor force participation, completed fertility, marriage, or divorce. The expansions, whose net costs amounted to 0.25% of GDP, have negative redistribution properties and imply a considerable increases in taxes at a cost to economic efficiency.

Some points of my own:

* It doesn't explore the effects of no paid leave. We can expect that going from 18 to 35 weeks will have a smaller effect than going from 0 to 18.

* There is a note of paid leave being regressive since the program replaced 100% of income; higher-income mothers received more benefits. This ignores the benefit of not penalizing having children, several of which are noted in the wiki[1]

Yes. We all know (and the article starts out saying) most adults need 2000 calories a day.

But then we see pictures of what most would consider one meal, and since we have 2 - 3 meals a day, eating any of these actually leaves you with 4000 - 6000 calories a day.

Wouldn't it have been more instructive if this article showed pictures of meals that were 700 - 1000 calories?

Most overweight people I know are keenly aware of how many calories they're consuming, they just can't help themselves.

I don't know how someone can drink a extra large milkshake without feeling like they just dropped a bomb on their digestive system.

When it comes down to it, you need to be in tune with your body. If you need a nutrition label to know whether or not you're feeding yourself right, you're already in trouble.
So that (and probably water) is all you'd eat and drink in a single day?
There is no vaguely plausible scenario where humanity goes extinct through deployment of the current nuclear arsenal. I would put the probability at zero.

I would increase that number if someone could tell a story with even a whiff of truth about how it could happen.
1000 calories of what? are you sure you're not counting 1000 and getting the rest in hidden calories?
We're already doing it in many places, it's mandated by the FDA for certain establishments like McDonald's. And all we hear about is Americans getting fatter and fatter. So maybe we could chill with the paternalism? When I moved out of the house I was done with having parents tell me what to do.
Also, I'm all for it when paypayers money go to new struggling but promising startups, fb is not one of them. I can't really see why they would need governmental financial help other that to support corrupt politicians.
> At some point, the bottom 10-20% in intelligence and education could be unemployable through no fault of their own.

If their parents are not people of high intelligence, these people should rather complain to their parents that they gave them birth: Knowing that in the future a lot less people of bottom but much more of high intelligence are necessary, the parents willingly produced children of genetic material that is probably badly suited for the future.

Thus the "bad guy" is not the political system, but people of low intelligence producing children of low intelligence (in statistical average).
>because if they haven't, we'd be experiencing extreme unemployment

Born and raised and still live around Detroit. There is staggering unemployment.

I'm amazed that anyone believes otherwise...
Along that line of thinking, could we then predict to see "aids" instead of "Aids" from the BBC in the future?
Man, as someone trying to gain weight, this article was kind of depressing. Sure you can get a ton of calories if you add a bunch of carbs or fat, but do you know how much stuff you have to eat to get a caloric surplus on a protein-based diet, without the addictiveness of carbs? Pretty much any time you think of it, it's time for some milk/peanut butter sandwich/hard-boiled egg/spinach.

I know, I know, first-world problems. But the corollary to "it's so easy to get fat eating junk" is "it's surprisingly hard to get big eating well."
> In your example if the costs hit zero while the consumers still have money then it's a complete miracle!

Whatever money consumers have will be quickly siphoned up by both the non-productive rentier class, and profit margins - just because the production costs zero human labour, doesn't mean that the cost of a product will be zero. (Who would want to build a factory, when you can't make any margin?)

I spent so much of my life trying to make rent that some part of me read the article backwards - looking for the densest meals for the buck. Burger Kings seems like a pretty good value in a pinch. If eating out triggered the obesity epidemic, then working long hours for poverty wages (or cost of living outpacing incomes) surely exacerbated things.
Nobody looks at the underside of everything they ever eat. One might look at the biggest stuff, if that, and a hamburger at 400 kcal looks pretty reasonable. I had no idea other products added so many calories. This article was quite an eye opener for me.

While your comparison might be technically true, people don't quite notice calories the same way as they notice a staple in their fingers.

> It is confusing because in English it is almost always spelt AIDS.

The British convention has a clearer mapping between written and spoken language, but leads to ambiguity in the case where there is a name collision between an acronym and the case where there is a collision between an acronym and a common noun and the word occurs in sentence-initial position (or in title case), the latter is also a problem throughout English print usage with proper nouns (instead of acronyms), and the ambiguities that arise in print this way are very nearly a subset of the ambiguities that arise in speech with the same terms. [0]

The non-British usage has worse correspondence between written and spoken language, and leads to ambiguity where there is a collision between an acronym and an initialism, though this is probably rarer. While this may be a less-common situation than the ambiguities produced in the British usage, it is a ambiguity less-closely tied to the inherent ambiguity in speech.

Neither is "incorrect", they are simply different conventions, with different features, and either case the ambiguities produced are usually only theoretical and in practice readily resolved through context.

[0] "Subset" because the speech ambiguities occur indepedently of the conditions that affect casing (initial position in sentence, or title case); "Very nearly" because sometimes terms that are spelled identically and thus would be ambiguous in print are pronounced differently and would be distinct in speech.

> The technology to put people on Mars is not fundamentally new. The technology to make such a colony self sustaining is. We've never built any habitat which is entirely self sufficient even just in food, water, and air.

This is, thank god, incorrect. We have closed loop systems for food, water and air.

I have in front of me a shelf of books relating to closed loop systems. They were designed for two purposes, space travel on one side, and on the flip side as a final resort against nuclear annihilation. I can give you sources to look up if you're interested.

The details were worked out in the 70s and 80s, but the projects were closed down when the West began to lose faith, no thanks to exponential energy shocks but that is a separate story for another day.

> Even simple problems like "how do we replace failed bolts" will require resupply from earth for a long time.

I would not call the manufacture of steel bolts a simple problem except in a colloquial sense.

This is something different to food/air/water, but we should be able to accomplish this in a new closed loop project.

The secret to space colonization and closed loop systems is not physics, but chemistry, knowing the correct procedures for the synthesis of new compounds from more basic elements.

> I don't see a Mars colony ever being a rational investment for those of us on Earth

This is another subject again, but many rare things exist in abundance in space that could be used to create an economy unlike that of Earth, such as platinum and the isotope helium-3. Then there is the ability to use nuclear systems in a way we cannot without political and environmental problems on our home planet.

To lift all restrictions on the use of nanotechnology, biotechnology and nuclear engineering would unleash a torrent of creativity from our society that is presently bound up in other things.

This is something that is not anybody's area of expertise. It is the area in which businessmen are going to have to come up with exploits.

And let us not forget one important thing from geopolitics. He who controls the skies, controls the earth. So going up is not really an option. The full weight of military support should be behind any spacefaring entrepreneurs. You want Iran or Korea slinging rocks at our cities? You do not need nuclear weapons if you have that much kinetic force on your side! You cannot be at the Apex if there exists a rock hanging over your head.

Fortunately our enemies disapprove of science fiction, or we'd be in a spot of trouble!

1) They are in a key management service (not AWS). Highly unlikely somebody will get both access to the keys and the data together. They are also rotated periodically.

Well, if it takes some time for workers to shift sectors and if "creatively destructive" technological innovation on the other hand happens to accelerate, it's conceivable that at a certain point, the absolute majority of workers will be redundant. There won't be an equilibrium, because the workers are trying to chase an accelerating point while moving at a constant velocity.

There doesn't need to be anything "fundamentally different" except that we finally reached the exponential part of technological progress, which up until now seemed like a linear process. Just like population growth until 1800s, or economic growth until the 1820s. Those two were pretty much linear and not very different from zero until they weren't.

I don't actually subscribe to this rationale, though. I'm just putting it out like this because it's pretty much what everybody says and I recognize that it's quite plausible, given the two first hypotheses.
1a.) Car engines are far less efficient and more polluting because they need to be portable, compact, and quickly operate over a wide power range.

1b.) Coal + Natural gas is generally less than 50% of electricity generation.

1c.) Oil takes a lot more effort to get to your car than coal does to a power plant combined with electricity transmission and storage. This indirect effect is huge.

Net effect, gas cars create a lot more pollution per mile.

2) To some degree, however batteries can also be recycled.

> "the government" .... "experts"

Have you been living under an anti-intellectual rock for over two centuries? Modern representative republics and bureaucracies were invented for this exact reason. We elect people we trust to implement bureaucracies in the best interest of the people so that we can receive guidance from real experts that we can trust. This democratic system of electing representatives and appointing experts to regulatory agencies has eliminated polio and smallpox, improved automobile safety a hundred fold, improved air and water quality across the country by a thousand fold, made safe air travel possible, all but eliminated industrial scale food poisoning, led the country to several moon landings, and countless other achievements. This system has also decided that vaccination is critically important to public health based on decades, if not centuries, of hard evidence and that no one has absolute freedom over themselves or their children because there exist life altering consequences for everyone in the case of vaccines.

If you don't like that social contract, you are free to elect different representatives or move to the autonomous regions of Somalia (you'll really want to get vaccinated though).

You made a great point, I'm Mexican so I'm aware of all the ideas and stereotypes the entertainment industry spread to the whole globe about Mexicans.

I've met people from other countries who really think we live in a desert (old west style), with a poncho and a sombrero. I can't really count all the American movies or shows where they show Mexico in a old west style, sepia background, sand and cactus everywhere, women using old style dresses, people armed everywhere. I love Terminator and Breaking bad, but the way they show Mexico, wow, it's so laughable.

People tend to think we all Mexicans are just looking for an opportunity to go to the US, they don't stop for a second and think that that might not be true for most cases, I have family over there that would give everything to come back to Mexico if they could find a good job.

You know it's not easy crossing a desert risking your life, leaving your whole family behind, knowing that you might never see them again, just to take an unpleasant job cleaning someone's else toilet, just to live in a small house in an ugly neighborhood, experiencing racism, facing cultural and language barriers, praying God for good health.

I'm a developer so I have a reasonably good job over here, I've had a lot of offers from American companies but I've rejected all of them because I just don't see it as a necessity, right know money is not a factor to consider facing all the downsides a Mexican will face in the US, here I have everything that I need and want.
Why are you on a protein-based diet if you are trying to gain weight?
Many of the foods shown have little to no wheat in them. The common factors are high fat and huge portions. Fats are not bad for you but they do make it easier to overconsume because they are more calorie dense. Huge portions are also not strictly bad for you because you could just not eat it all, but the reality is that bigger portions lead to overeating.

That pasta dish is just entirely too much food. It's fried chicken and creamy sauce and yes a lot of pasta.

For the most part, people aren't trying to discriminate, nor to offer opportunities to some groups but not others (there are exceptions, but they're relatively few and more powerful for signalling than for direct impact). What they're trying to do is remove currently existing impediments to women entering tech.

Improving CS101 classes is a great example. There are many forms a CS101 class could take. But they're generally taught by men, and they've generally been taught to young men. It's not implausible that they might be unnecessarily hostile to women (or to take another angle, biased towards backgrounds that women are underrepresented in, like "people who consider themselves gamers"); not through malice, but just through habit and happenstance. It seems very plausible to me that these classes could be more inviting and inclusive without compromising academic integrity. That's a win for everyone. It doesn't engage in discrimination: it just aims to remove an existing (albeit unintentional) impediment.

>>If someone like Donald Knuth would be forced due to economic circumstances to join a trendy web start-up, he'd be a junior working under a twenty-something senior with little more than some Javascript and MongoDB knowledge

To play devils advocate, why wouldn't Donald Knuth be the junior given that scenario? In that position he may actually know less relevant knowledge than the junior. I mean many startup/crud apps don't require advance algorithmic knowledge, more front end dev and ability to deliver relevant business value. I wouldn't expect that junior to join knuths team and be put in charge, why should we expect the reverse? Given time yes, If Knuth is more intelligent he could become better at startup relevant work, then he should be more "senior" not before.

> There doesn't need to be anything "fundamentally different" except that we finally reached the exponential part of technological progress, which up until now seemed like a linear process.

Most processes involving people (and lots of others, besides) that look exponential at some point are really logistic, so even in that case, there's probably some equilibrium point somewhere in the future, though its possible that its many generations down the line from the point where the appearance of exponential change first occurs.
