Calorie cutting is generally useless. Here's a link explaining: http://www.drfranklipman.com/q-dr-jason-fung-book-obesity-co...

I'd read the whole thing, but the first couple paragraphs set the scene:

Obesity is often considered a problem of excessive calories. This caloric obsession has been indoctrinated into all of us since we were children. Too many calories in, too few calories out, or some combination is what we believe leads to weight gain and obesity. If it were indeed true that excess calories leads to weight gain, then the solution is simple: Reduce calories eaten. This has formed the standard dietary advice of the last 50 years. And it has failed spectacularly. Obesity rates have skyrocketed upward despite continual exhortations to cut calories. So, the proof is in the pudding. This advice does not work.

The other major strategy has been to increase exercise. Total calorie expenditure is not simply exercise, but includes basal metabolism. However, basal metabolism is not under conscious control, so it is assumed to be stable. In fact, the basal metabolic rate may increase or decrease up to 40% depending upon many factors, but one major one is caloric intake. But here once again, this advice has failed us.

Exercise comprises a very small proportion of our daily calorie expenditure. Let us assume basal metabolism of 2,000 calories per day. Walking for 45 minutes might burn 100–150 calories. If you’ve ever watched the calorie counter on your treadmill, you’ve probably already noticed how few calories are actually burned. This means that 95% of caloric expenditure is not related to exercise.
I was under the impression it was usually lower taxes (partially selection bias due to it being lower for myself). As the other commenter points it, it is complicated and sometimes lower/sometimes higher to file jointly.

Interestingly, the current tax structure somewhat encourages single income families.
Well, what solution would you suggest?
<we owe you nothing.

That may be true, but not everybody is special and selected enough to keep the species going. All of humanity supports those that have children.

Amex should be proud to help species continuers.
I personally used information in the Snowden documents to highlight a vulnerability in IKE installs that was being actively exploited. It is now dying, and any exploitwd targets provably dried up. The EU found and removed several bugs from its printers because of information found in the Snowden docs.

PRISM was a codename for collection done in accordance with FISA revisions debated at the time. Ultimately the only program changed was the phone records program which was placed on a sounder footing by elected reprentatives.

Lots of programs that were clearly what the NSA should be doing were exposed, and as a result ended. We'll never know the damage done, but it was substantial.

As someone else pointed out, this is a long, detailed critique of Wikipedia by someone whose main objection is that "by 2007 the water had become hot enough to be felt by devotees of modern fiction (that is, anime & manga franchises, video games, novels, etc.)" There are legitimate criticisms of Wikipedia, but that it now discourages "fancruft" isn't much of one. There are many other popular culture forums. If you want to write about anime, get an account on MyAnimeList or Daisuki or Wikia. (Daisuki, incidentally, is a project of the Cool Japan Fund, a VC fund to export Japanese culture, funded by the government of Japan and some big banks.) There's Pottermore and Wookiepedia and the Marvel Universe Wiki. There are places for that stuff, and they're big and active.

"Deletionism" is mostly pushback against the incoming tide of promotional articles. Here's an essay I wrote on dealing with conflict of interest editing.[1] Without considerable pushback, Wikipedia would read like PR Newswire. Too often, it still does. As I note in my essay, on Wikipedia, it's not what you have to say about yourself, it's what other reliable sources say about you. Wikipedia is one of the very few resources on the Web that's not choked with advertising and promotion. That's valuable.

Editor retention is a problem. Editing Wikipedia is hard. It's not like writing on a blog or forum. It's like submitting a pull request to a major open source project. It's not difficult for anyone who has published in a refereed journal, but that's under 1% of the population. It's painful for someone who's never had their writing tightly edited. So is submitting code to a successful project. It's one way to get better at writing.

Despite this, Wikipedia is dealing well with the hard problems. As the Trump administration takes power, many articles needed to be updated, and, despite controversies, that process is going reasonably well. The Washington Post comments that, over time, Wikipedia articles on controversial subjects approach a neutral point of view.[2] Few other places on the Web achieve that, or even try.

Why do you find org-mode complex? I think it's simple, but perhaps not easy.
Unless they were doing really interesting things that captured the hearts and minds of the public who then therefore demanded funding increases.
I've recently come the the conclusion that instead of the purpose of people being to create value for the economy, the point of the economy is to create value for people. Being able to spend time with your new kid should not be a privilege of people who have money. Overall resources in our society aren't that scarce so I don't think it's unreasonable to allocate some resources to ensuring that privilege for everyone.
Fats do not become glucose (with the exception of the glycerol from triglycerides...a minute amount of the total kcals from one trig) but they do become energy. The majority of energy is in fatty acids which have no pathway to glucose.

For example, it is believed that when we sleep our energy comes from fats. We are not doing anything exerting, so the process of (fat catabolism -> energy) >= energy needs. The brain needs glucose however, so it gets it from glycogen catabolism or protein catabolism (gluconeogenesis).

Edit: For some reason I cannot reply to the comment below. The recommendation is 45-65% based upon individual need.
I've mentioned elsewhere in this thread that the brain can use ketone bodies.

I disagree that glucose = obesity as you seem to see it. Many, many things (nutrition, PA, stress, hormone issues, etc) are related to obesity.

A lot of what you emphasize is related to the lack of physical activity that the population no longer gets. If we truly want to solve obesity, it takes adjustments to diet and consistent purposeful physical activity. There's a lot that can be done with nutrition, but continuing our highly sedentary ways will always have consequences for health that nutrition alone will not completely solve.
I'd argue that even if you employer is fully supportive it will sideline your career. Raising kids is very time consuming. Even if you get lots of maternity leave time and child care benefits, if you plan to spend a lot of time with your kid you will not be able to make that time up at work.

Think about all the time you spend thinking about work in off work hours. You no longer really have the time. All those hobby projects that make you a better worker? What time do you have for that?

I guess we could look at the data....

The largest reported trade is 669 shares, so if someone was "dumping" stock then they didn't do a great job.

The last trade before 8:26 was at 8:20:40 for $260.05 according to Bloomberg so the gap down the poster is showing I can't even reproduce.

Almost all trades at this time were odd lots this morning, so again if someone was dumping,they didn't do a great job.

Trading was even very sparse until 8:26 when Trump tweeted and then the market activity picked up, which is exactly what you'd expect wouldn't it?

Now, in favour of a conspiracy, early morning activity was much busier than the previous week, but still very small.

I'm now embarrassed for myself that I even spent time on this:(

I thnk the best thing you can take from this is a quote I saw from Jim Greco on Twitter:

https://twitter.com/jgreco/status/808310517752365056

> Trump is the ultimate case for diversification. You don't want to hold an individual stock when he tweets

EDIT I think what this guy is seeing isn't a trade at 8:25, but rather his charting software just joining two points, one at 8:20 and the next at 8:26 when trading starts around Trumps tweet.
Fair view. A few points:

- Numerai does not have the ability itself, it harvests predictions from many others.

- To assume that better than random guessing is not possible, is to assume that the stock market is operating at maximum efficiency, and that all the hedge funds that are profitable have very lucky random number generators, instead of well-paid quants.

- The co-founder of perhaps the biggest money making hedge fund, Renaissance Technologies, has invested in Numerai. http://www.wsj.com/articles/renaissance-technologies-hedge-f...

It's a bit like saying you don't trust any SEO company that does not rank #1 for SEO. Fair, sure. But the reality is a bit more grey. Disclosure: Won a few bitcoin on Numerai.

I am from the cult of vim, using neovim and tmux all day.

What I like about iTerm are the many small options that allow me to tweak it a bit here and there.
You are right I don't want to be user-hostile greedy. Its a fine line.
I'm going to go ahead and say this never happened. The explanation in the article makes 0 sense. I can't find any reports of this besides the 1988 article where this story is relayed like something that happened to your friends cousin in Middle School. I think the claim is sufficiently bizarre to require more proof then that.
Such "bitching" is seen very badly on HN and will get down voted. There is no need to be wary of such comments because they will simply turn grey and fade out.
> This agrees perfectly with the statisticians definition, albeit applied to one particular example. Specifically, the slanted ball game field would provide a biased measurement (in the statistical sense) of player ability. Score 1 for the mathematicians.

That's silly. It's not a competition between mathematicians and all other people for the 'correct', Platonic definition of a word -- a word is defined by how people use and interpret it. Logical, mathematical deduction from first principles is not the only way to look at the world.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think your objection can be summarized as 'we shouldn't talk about things that we don't have airtight definitions for (like racial bias or racial prejudice), because it might confuse people'.

I happen to strongly disagree, since grappling with fuzzy definitions is precisely how we get to having better definitions. Otherwise, we should give up on ever talking about anything except math, where we have clear axioms to work with.

Even in math, people were profitably doing calculus before we had clear definitions for infinitesimals, integrals, derivatives, or proofs that our procedures produced correct results. The logical machinery and deductive logic often comes after people spent time grappling with fuzzy, intuitive things with unclear definitions.
Something of an audiofile. This noise bugs the hell out of me. But so do a whole bunch of other "standard" noises in movies. Thunderstorms in most movies sound exactly alike, for instance.

The perception is that if we can our sales process work in the US then it will be much easier to scale out than in the EU, where most every country comes with its own language.
Theory is that the recommendation engine is built for books. So if you buy a specific type of book, it recommends other books in the similar category. I guess they never got a chance to update it to reflect the fact that Amazon sells more than just books.
"Nutrients" (according to the parent). The hypothesis being that diabetes is caused by lack of nutrients. But this is clearly false because impoverished countries don't have disproportionately high amounts of diabetes. Not to mention that AFAIK the jury is out on sugar causing diabetes.
It's generous in that it's in no way required of them and is way beyond what all but a handful of companies in the US provide.
Ask HN: Co-founder mom died, and his depression is effecting the business
Hi guys,

We're a team of 3. One of the guys lost their mom earlier this year, and bouts of grief and depression have taken hold of him.

His productivity and work quality has nosedived. He's uncooperative, non-communicative, and is often absent.

I've tried to understand what he's going through, and I've talked about it with him. I've suggested he take some time off (which he doesn't want to do).

He's adamant he wants to continue, and he's seeking help from a counselor.

This has been going on for ~4 months, and it's really taken a toll on our business. The 3rd co-founder and I find it demotivating and frustrating when he disappears.

I feel as if the best thing for the business is to let go of him, but it's a shitty thing to do. Moreover – I feel as if his depression would worsen if he lost his place in the team.

I'm not an experienced manager.

Is there anybody on here who has successfully dealt with depressed employees/co-founders?

Edit: spelling
Group #2 (users/desktop users/developers) runs CentOS because of Group #1 (server admins/agencies). I'm sure you could find some if you looked, but I've never met anyone except RH employees who actively preferred CentOS/RHEL for personal usage.
Because odds are, you'll need to deploy onto CentOS if you sell your product to someone else.

Sounds more like child-abuse to me. If the video is indeed as shocking as most people here claim it is then it isn't age-appropriate for younger adults and especially children.

As adults, we can choose to not see it. As children, in a classroom, we are generally not. Peer pressure and adult authoritarian rule should not be taken lightly. Especially when used to scare children into compliance and leave them lasting marks into adult-hood.

-Speaking as someone that still has irrational issues with being alone, or being alone in the dark. After watching age-inappropriate movies as a child.
> Since when did writing a driver become the kernel maintainers' problem?

Since the kernel maintainers, and other open source contributors wrote drivers?

> I don't think the AMDGPU driver not being mainlined really affects Linux. On the other hand, AMD will really benefit from it.

You remember the days when Linux never would work on any real PC because audio drivers, GPU drivers, everything was missing? Do you want those back?

Having shitty drivers in the kernel isn’t ideal either, just like microkernels vs. monolithic kernels are a tradeoff, but at least cooperating with them in how to get it best into the kernel (AMD rewrote ~100k LOC since the last "Nope" from the maintainers) would be a lot more helpful than this.

interesting. i like to think that i would quit my job and just work on open source projects, but the article makes some good points about not being really challenged to work past the bits that aren't fun and easy without some external motivator.
The tricky, but fun parts. It's certainly not trivial to port those, but I'm not too worried about it as long as there is solid runtime support in ROCm. More fun work for perf engineers like me. ;)

Massive amount of boilerplate, heavy APIs or crappy software stack are more dangerous IMO than having to drop in replacements for NVIDIA-specific optimizations of GPU-to-NIC or GPU-to-GPU communication.
As noted in other replies, the ARPANET predates IP and TCP. Although some Internet applications, like Telnet and FTP, were first implemented on the ARPANET, I don't consider it to be the Internet in any meaningful way. The Internet was conceived as a network of networks, which directly affected the design of TCP/IP. Thus, the Internet proper began with the transition to IP. ARPANET was a test bed, to see if packet switched networking would actually work. It did. So well, in fact, that the ARPANET was used for actual work, until it became obvious that something better was needed to replace it. That replacement is the modern Internet.

I enjoyed this book about the development of the ARPANET:

You offer vague platitude where I offer mathematics.

I'll repeat this quote

The idea you can chase a total alien solution nobody supports and pull complete magic out of thin air is rarely true. Normally it is just a myth created by people who don't actually understand the solution or process that attained it.

This is selective ignorance, and all people do it to some extent. An extreme example would be when you eat a bacon sandwich, or when you walk through a street without stray animals. You don't want to know exactly how it happened, for the sake of your own mental well being.

Now, what if everyone was selectively ignorant regarding news? Public opinion is a major deterrent for a lot of things. In great part net neutrality has been maintained thanks to pushback from the community. That is only one example, there are many many more.

I've switched to a low carb / high protein / high fat diet and it's great. I'm eating lots of food and losing weight along the way. Each Saturday is cheat day and I eat anything I want.

Breaking the sugar / carbs dependency was really difficult for the first weeks but now I'm "fat adapted" as they call it.

I've been doing this diet for a year or so and broken it a few times for weeks at a time. Getting back was super easy and I didn't gain much weight. In 2016 I've lost more than 20 kilos, or about 6 belt notches. I even had to buy a new smaller belt.

If you want to know more about this look for the Atkins diet, 4 hour body diet, keto diet, etc. Those are all variations on the same idea of reducing or eliminating carbs from your diet.

I was using Atom for a long time and performance got better over time. I like to use OSS so Sublime was not an option for me.

Once I went back to vim, though, I was impressed again by its performance.

It's a pity that electron still has some trouble with performance. Slack, for example, does not make me happy. Visual Studio Code, on the other hand, is fast and is written using the same platform so there must be a way to do it right.
Agreed. It's in everyone's interest (whether you choose to have children or not) that children are well adjusted, healthy, and educated. They will be our neighbors when we are older.
Eh. Some of those have more work put into them, even if they do use the same core typeface. A.i. has it as a subtitle and uses a custom design for the main title; LotR has deliberate misalignment and chipping that at least doesn't appear to be an automatic filter; Star Wars seems to only use it for the (admittedly largest) "Episode II".
I don't see why the abstract specification should mention pushing or popping at all. The abstract specification for swap is simply "swaps the first and second elements of the stack". How that's achieved doesn't seem important, and it seems odd to me to define it in terms of primitive operations it's not actually defined in terms of - unless it's some ultra minimalist Forth thing where swap isn't a primitive.

Wrong. All the polls said Clinton would win, some by a large margin. A significant number of Trump voters weren't ready to admit even to pollsters that they were going to vote for Trump. But they voted for him in the voting booths.
Yeah, I brought up a UAP-AC-Pro+ERLite3 network both at my office and my home. The first time I did that setup I spent maybe an hour learning about the ERLite3 and configuring it, and then proceeded to spin my wheels for two hours trying to get the UniFi Controller working under Linux. I just gave up and ran it on a Windows machine. The second time I brought the EdgeRouter online in 5 minutes, and then proceeded to spend another two hours of my life trying to get the UniFi Controller running in a container using a pre-built Docker image. No go. By the end it would see the AP and begin configuration, but then lose it halfway through. Had to use it on my Windows VM instead, where it worked first try.

This Ubiquity based setup has been the most stable network I've had at my home in all my years, even when used in RF-crowded environments. But the UniFi Controller is the biggest downside for someone like me who just wants to throw up a network.
