There are costs to gluconeogenesis (glucose via protein catabolism), kidney issues to name one (deamination producing ammonia). The body does not synthesize glucose from fatty acids (beta-oxidation occurs producing aceytl-coA in the mitochondria, thus producing energy, but aceytl-CoA cannot be converted upwards in the pathway to glucose). A small amount of glucose can/does get created from glycerol.

Nutrition recommendations up to this point still recommend high ratio of carbs (45-65% of kcals) because they are the most direct metabolic pathway. Also incredibly important for gut health is fiber, which is a complex carbohydrate (and prebiotic). The concern of carbs is non-complex ones as a high percentage of intake.

They have found that the brain runs on ketones (for a long time it was thought that it required glucose specifically) but long term research is non-existent. So yes, the body can live off of "no carbs", but stating that our carbohydrate requirement is zero is just false according to the literature and nutritional history of the majority of humans.
Just to chime in. Since the displeased are always loud. I got my maxed out TouchBar MBP 15" about two weeks ago and I'm really happy with it.

It replaces a Mid-2010 MBP 17". It's light, fast and has a gorgeous screen.

After a week, I even prefer the new thin keyboard versus the old. My external keyboard feels like trudging through mud. No trouble hitting the ESC-key on the touch bar. The context awareness of it is actually pretty great.

For USB-connectivity I simply bought a few convertors on AliExpress for about 70 cents each. How often do I plug those in? Almost never. Everything is wireless these days.

Except for those two 5K screens coming soon... but I wish Apple would release them for € 200 more with a nice alu bezel ;) or 5K iMacs with target display mode, that'd be fine too.
With vim's relatively high popularity over Emacs, I wouldn't be surprised if vimwiki is able to match org within a few years.

I'd be surprised if anyone was in favor of abolishing copyrights altogether. IMO, IP reform should include shorter terms for copyright, better legislation on "novelty" and "business process/methods" for patents, "shopping" for US District Court for E. Texas, and better staffing for USPTO.

But I'm confused how this is relevant. The license associated with PSF's copyrights explicitly grant them permission to fork CPython and make no restriction on naming.

It's Python's trademark that offers Guido et al the opportunity to dispute this project's name.

I'm a little on the fence. I don't feel betrayed, I think moving on to py3 is not earth-shattering and simple enough. But I can see that there's no technical reason why we can't backport features to 2.x, it's just a carrot to get folks to move to py3. Ultimately I think PSF will win hands down and calling this new project "<prefix>-Python" or "Python-<suffix>" will be a simple compromise.

I've eaten €1500 meals at 3 star restaurants like L'Ambroisie and $10 Grand Slam meals at denny's. They fill different roles and both can be enjoyable.

For years there was a restaurant in Palo Alto that was really quite good and which my wife loved to visit. I was never happy because while the food and ambience were good, I always felt the bill was 50% higher than it should have been.

In the case of apps, most of them, for most users, don't justify the time put into them. Since that's true, people aren't idiots and won't take an up front risk on buying an app that doesn't work for them. That's why free download/in app purchase to really use has really taken off.

Oh, and it's well worth it to me to pay for a Mac. The fact that it's true for me doesn't justify your decision to buy a Mac or contradict your decision not to.

There's a flaw in your logic.

True; obese people aren't just eating too much sugar, but also fat (and protein), but the problem is still the sugar.

The sugar makes you hungry, making you able to eat more fat (which is highly calorie dense). If you cut the sugar (and other high GI/II carbs), you will eat a lot less of the rest.

Sure, the problem in calorie intake is the combination, but eating just fat and protein is fine, while eating only carbs and protein is definitely not.

Fiber seems quite healthy. Something like broccoli is good for you. I don't think there's any serious disagreement with that.

By playing enough games with legal serving size, which has no relationship with observed consumption, you can end up with a standard serving of broccoli having twice the fiber as a standard serving of wheat as found in bread, for example.

Generally speaking it was very unusual for your ancestors to eat grains as the primary component of their diet before the very recent advent of agriculture. Grains are highly effective at fattening up large mammal livestock, such as cows, pigs, and humans. If a farmer would feed it to a pig to fatten it up, its probably a poor dietary choice for the average overweight American.

Wheat is extremely healthy ... economically ... if you're a wheat farmer or perhaps in health care. For everyone else, unlimited grain consumption turns out about the same for humans as hogs, at least WRT bod fat percentages.
It's not clear to me where somebody draws the border on that line of thinking. I own a Honda Minivan. I could probably feed ten starving families for a year, for what that van cost me.

Is there anything you own, that you could do without, that costs more than say, $500? Do you therefore value that thing more than the lives of 100 vaccinated children?

If you dismiss that comparison as totally different, then why?
> "bias" refers to "outcomes the reporter dislikes and thinks he can generate clickbait with"

That's quite a straw man for someone who claims others are trying to derail a conversation.

> I'm explicitly advocating against this practice and in favor of using clear and precise language instead.

The language you're suggesting masks the problem.

It's nice that statisticians came up with a mathematical object that happens to have a politically charged name, but the conflation you're making is not an argument, and doesn't address the underlying (inherently political) problem.

> In precise terms, what do you think the problem is?

The precise problem is that things like skin color etc. often have strong predictive power. We've recognized this unfortunate fact -- and its societal implications -- and decided to create laws and social norms that regulate (either restrict or sometimes even require) the use of these properties in certain high-impact decisions.

Unfortunately, algorithms sometimes use these features to make decisions in settings where a typical human wouldn't (or might even get into legal hot water if they did).

Notice that an algorithm can exhibit this behavior without being (statistically) biased.

Now, perhaps you think this problem isn't actually a problem. And you can certainly make the argument that any form of vernacular-discrimination should be OK as long as it doesn't exhibit statistical bias. But that's a separate conversation, and you can't defend that position by playing with definitions. And if you're not making that argument, then it should be clear why vernacular-bias differs from statistical-bias.
It's a tricky thing. From my experience, the capacitive sensing chip vendors (e.g. Broadcom, Cypress, Atmel) want to move units but don't want to spend the time working on the necessary physical integration to make the sensing pad work correctly. A trackpad is really nothing more than a phone-class touchscreen without an LCD behind it. There's a lot of sensitivity tuning and noise rejection that needs to be performed to refine the performance.

It's not their field of specialization, and they don't want to manufacture the finished components themselves. Apple obviously has taken the time and care to get it right. A lot of others...it seems like they went with the reference design as being good enough.

I wouldn't be surprised, considering I was a die-hard Apple user for 15+ years until about three years ago.

After owning virtually every Mac from the iMac G3 to the last iMac, with the exception of the new MacPro and the eMac (lol), I will never purchase another Apple product for myself. That said, I am in charge of purchasing computers for an Architectural firm which insists on buying these computers - they claim clients expect to see Apple products during visits to display the company as "avant-garde", which, to me, just confirms the snobbery behind it.

I now use my Windows desktop for heavy work, carry a laptop with Fedora, Android Tablet for meetings, and have an old MacPro which I'm 'forced' to use for Sketch; I would argue that if it wasn't for the popularity of Mac-only design software like Principle and Sketch, there would be no reason to use OSX anymore outside of the GUI.

To be fair, Apple computers are still a good choice for teenagers, senior citizens and/or Interaction Designers, but I can't think of any reason a professional outside of Video Editing or Design would opt for a Mac.

I am a particle physicist, and this article is confused. The substitution of a glass box _fundamentally_ changes the experiment by allowing phenomena inside the box to correlate with phenomena outside (including your senses). This isn't magic, it's the natural result of light exchanging between stuff inside and out. In the biz, we call this smearing of correlations 'decoherence.'

As for whether the cat 'is' both "dead and alive" in the true black-box Schrodinger scenario, that's very much up for debate. Theorists and philosophers have yet to reach a consensus on how to interpret quantum mechanics, though progress is being made--our quantitative understanding of 'decoherence' being one example.

Don't be fooled: this is an open question.

You claim they are equal but also benefit from added nutrients, which hinges on them not being equal.

As I said in a sibling post, restricting calories works. But, so does restricting grams. The same way not writing code prevents bugs. It also prevents features, so is a somewhat worthless endeavor.
I use this framework for giving raises/promotions/feedback to existing employees, not for new hires. With actual employees you have a lot more information, so I believe companies should generally hire cautiously but give promotions and raises aggressively (most do the opposite IMO.)

I did actually have a case similar to one you described, where someone was a very advanced specialist in a narrow area, and relatively weak in others. I was willing to make him an offer at a 5, another company hired him at a 7. I think that was the best outcome.

In another, less extreme case, we used to have one "data scientist" role. We found that this required too much breadth, and people with the same role ended up doing very different things. So I've advocated for separate "data analyst" and "data scientist" roles, each with their own set of 4 competencies.
Like others have said it's not a "hard thing" per se. It's that few implementations actually work correctly in most of the edge cases. Manual dispatch is, of course, doable. Agner Fog's optimization guide has a pretty decent walkthrough of writing your own dispatcher and even he has to go through a bunch of caveats.
You can generally stratify most people into one of two categories: the work-to-live types, and the live-to-work types.

The work-to-live types generally tend to pursue careers involving working for some employer paying them salary plus benefits. With a few exceptions (the early employees of some of the bigger IPO successes), these people will mostly go on to earn middle-class or upper-middle-class incomes and live lifestyles in line with their income. Very few will ever come across life-changing sums of money.

Then you have the live-to-work types. Of course not all such people will become rich, but if you were to look at successful entrepreneurs, it'll be a long hard search before you find one who leaves the office every day at 5:00 PM on the dot to go home and loaf on the couch watching the game. These are the people who, if they are successful at building their company (and that is, of course, a huge if), will be able to walk away from the IPO with a fortune.

So why is it surprising in the slightest that the live-to-work types can't rest on their laurels?
I believe creaghpatr was talking about American Football. The coaches already use radios which have speakers inside the quarterback's helmet to relay the plays to them. It seems like this would be a logical jump as they could get more information and crowd noise would not be a factor.

> You mean like they do in Manhattan today?

I don't know, do they have parking garages with floors where an adult can't stand upright and can't actually get out of the cars? I know you can automate it and have robotic systems to lift cars in place etc., but that adds complexity and cost that will largely disappear if the cars can park in spaces humans can get out of all by themselves.

Maybe the robotic solutions will be the end game, but painting narrower bays for self-parking cars will be the much cheaper short term solution, and e.g. modifications to add messanine floors etc. the medium term solution.

> Here's the thing. All these scenarios are possible with the addition of a $10-ish/hr driver today. Yet they don't exist.

A $10-ish/hr driver is enough to make a big difference in cost. Let's assume some downtime for maintenance. An average 20 hour utilization over 360/days year for a car would add $72k/year in costs.

Now add in that models like Uber's are new and most places aren't anywhere close to optimizing pickup times, and most cab companies are technologically just leaving the stone age, and why should we be surprised that nobody has done exactly this yet?

There are additional differences. E.g. Tesla has indicated they want people to be able to opt-in to having your own vehicle used. The availability of cars can go through the roof without a massive increase in cost once you don't depend on a supply of drivers.

> Variants of smaller ad hoc minibus services do exist in other countries.

Actually variants of ad hoc minibus services do exist in the US too. Shuttle services from airports, for example. But they're nowhere near what I suggested.

To do this for bus lines you run into the same problem as above: Drivers is a big limiting factor. The bus companies near me constantly struggle to get enough drivers (and yes, they raise salaries, but then they'd be unable to survive under the constraints put on them - take away those salaries, and they'd have a lot more flexibility in what they'd be able to do)
AF_UNIX on linux supports SOCK_DGRAM and SOCK_SEQPACKET in addition to SOCK_STREAM, so having message based interfaces won't be much of a change for some users.

SOCK_DGRAM at least appears to be widely supported (FreeBSD & Illumos & OpenBSD). SOCK_SEQPACKET is at least supported by OpenBSD (I'm going by what's in various docs/man pages).

>how could you not love a high-dpi display?

When the software doesn't handle it well. I don't particularly like any implementation of high DPI scaling. OS X's scaling caused performance issues for me, and programs would get confused moving between monitors. Linux doesn't have any way that I know of to cope with monitors with significantly different resolutions - eg, I can make the window manager scale everything 2x so it looks good on the 'retina' display, but I still have a 1080p monitor attached too, so then everything is huge on that.

Even without multi monitor issues, scaling tends to be picky with some programs on most OSs. OS X seems to be the most consistent, Linux is a roulette wheel depending on your GPU/window manager/program/day of the week. Windows works sometimes but looks blurry.

I have Linux installed on my work Mac and just run the 'retina' screen at 1920x1200.
