The article didn't tread much into the satiety effect: while sugar- and carb-laden foods generally leave you wanting more, it's difficult to overeat naturally fatty things like bacon, cream, or eggs. Until just now, these foods have been frowned upon so hard that few people think of combining them with veggies to create tasty, affordable, satisfying, and nutritious meals.

> The telemetry in Windows 8 was just in critical components that had been instrumented long ago, such as Windows Update, crash management, etc. None of those were using the current universal telemetry system.

Are you sure? I did a lot of Windows 8 installations when I was evaluating it, and I distinctly recall the option to turn on the same tracking features that 10 had on by default. In the Windows 8 installer they were presented up front and off by default, in 10 they are hidden and on by default.

As of a month ago this is still the case; I reset a Windows 8 hybrid laptop, going through the standard installation screens, and then upgraded it to 10.

The approach Firebase takes can be summarized as, "make the 90% use cases simple, and make the complicated 10% possible." Tradeoffs are a core engineering concept, so I think this comes as no surprise to seasoned engineers (the more cynical ones often phrase the question as "what's the catch"). By partnering with Google Cloud Platform, we're working to make the complicated 10% much easier (tradeoff here is lower cost/greater control vs having to be more hands on with your infrastructure).

A great example of this is [Firebase Storage](https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/). We've made the 90% of file upload/download use cases easy, while making the 10% of use cases (lifecycle management, object versioning, advanced processing) [accessible through Cloud](https://firebase.google.com/docs/storage/gcp-integration). Stay tuned for more, similar integrations in the future :)

As for the financial costs--you're paying someone else to build and manage your infrastructure, so yes, it will cost more than buying raw infra. Again, this is a tradeoff: is this more valuable to your product/users to answer pages or build features? Depending on where you are in your product lifecycle, YMMV.

Apologies, I can't find the precise paper covering what I mean. You will find that there's a suspicious lack of studies on formerly obese people.

Paper to get you thinking on how WAT acts on signaling: http://www.cambridge.org.secure.sci-hub.bz/core/journals/pro...

Paper on WAT quantity and its effects on metabolic syndrome. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eci.12519/pdf . Where this one gets me thinking is that for some people, growing WAT may actually be an adaptation to prevent metabolic disorder from a poor diet.

What we know is WAT can hold about 4x its size in fat before it divides into more. What we don't really know for humans is whether long term weight loss allows us to lose some of these, or whether they just deflate.... some rat studies show there can be a reduction, but for humans it would require repeated biopsy......
2) That is an acceptable nego tactic if you can get it. And by all means you should go back and forth to get as many as possible. But after that you still want acceleration as the terms of your un-vested options are subject to change when ownership changes. Even if you stay with the new company.

4) True, this is just generic advice and usually by the 3rd round your % is going to be VERY low. But of course always consider actual % taking TSO into account.

I never said all the weight was from calories, most of it is water and waste.

For an "average" person they store 400g of glycogen in their muscles and 100g of glycogen in their liver. In this form, it is bound to 3-4 times as much water. So 500 * 3.5 is 2250g = 5 pounds just from this depletion.

As far as fat burning, a pound of fat has about 3500 calories. A 500 per day deficit will lead to 1 pound of weight loss. However, fat is also bound to water in a roughly 1:1 ratio so you'll also lose a pound of water too. So call this 2 pounds for the second week.

Add in all the weight in your digestive system over that two week period and you'll be ~10 pounds or more in two weeks. Again this assumes a person that is 30+ pounds overweight and has full glycogen stores.
Personally I would love to work with non-profits right now, regardless of pay implications. Recent macro events have really awoken my desire to do good in the course of my work. I'd like to think there are others with a similar outlook right now, but maybe I'm an outlier in this industry...
people's faces change with some regularity. Also there are people who are incapable of recognizing faces, or just especially bad at it, so the method is unfair to them.
Interestingly I've had the opposite experience. I work in the crypto space. My monthly comp is a combination of bitcoin, and some units of the crypto token that we invented that will power the app we are developing. When I first signed on, the token was not yet released, but the plan was for it to be minted and released on crypto exchanges way before our app is actually complete. This allows people to speculate on the future success of our app. Once the coin is out there, we have no control of it, it becomes an independent asset that anyone can trade without our approval or knowledge. This makes the coin perfectly liquid with an actual value.

Since when I first signed on, the token wasn't out yet, we had to negotiate a value for it. The value we agreed on ended up being much lower than the actual value when it was finally released. This created a strange situation. My monthly salary, which was at one point a combination of money (bitcoin) and some pie-in-the-sky uncertain token, simply became money + money since it was all liquid. I was therefore getting paid much more than expected, and more than another engineer of similar skill would require. This creates pressure on the founders to consider letting me go - even though I was a critical component of getting it to where it was. The psychology when the equity is not liquid seems very different. Even if a company's valuation starts to become much higher than expected, the fact that there still has to be an unlikely far-in-the-future liquidity event for any of it to be worth anything, significantly changes the dynamics. But when your engineer is simply getting paid quadruple market value in real liquid money, thoughts start to materialize that they can simply exchange me for 4 other engineers.
I am working on p2p reputation network in Ethereum.
https://github.com/kwikiel/p2p-trust-network

Often it's useful to be able to trust an online identity, i.e. for peer-to-peer lending sites, peer-to-peer home exchange sites, work assignments, etc.

Most often the various platforms (like Couchsurfing, Uber, BeWelcome, Loanbase, Localbitcoins etc) will have some built-in support for ratings; user account A can leaving positive feedback for B after A and B has had an interaction on that platform. The ratings never leave the platform. There are usually no ways to see the difference between a conman creating yet another fake account and a newcomer to the platform. It is impossible for an outsider that have been scammed on one platform to leave a negative feedback warning users on another platform about the scammer.

What we need is a global network-of-trust system. It should be truly peer-to-peer, it should be based on open standards and open source. Just the risk of getting negative feedback on such a network could be enough deterrent to avoid certain types of scam.
I learned RUP before Agile, and didn't hate it. I only learned if you like one thing you necessarily have to hate something else later in life. Aspects of RUP make it into my interpretation of agile. For example, I teach my dev teams UML (sketching as defined in Fowler's book) for whiteboarding and the rare BDUF, which RUP exposed me to. Speaking of BDUF, I've saved many a feature by resorting to BDUF when communication broken down.

I didn't and don't want to start a flame war, but needless to say once in an interview I was asked if I was a "Scrum Master" (after having about 15 years of agile experience). When I stopped laughing, I said, "No, no I am not." I don't think they got the joke, and no - I didn't get the job.

I don't think "iteration" vs "sprint" is a minor quibble. I've seen the "wrong mindset" you speak of, as people take "sprints" far too literally. It's not a sprint, it's a jog. A long, long jog. You'll be stopping for water and stretching along the way. Sprinting is a good way to pull a muscle and have all your devs quit on your one day, leaving you with a big-old case of backlog rhabdomyolysis. I took that analogy way too far.
It seems like this would be a very costly alternative for a company since it would essentially be a commitment to buy back 30-40% of outstanding RSU's at the equivalent price (current 409A valuation?). Over time I'd imagine this would become a major drain on cash reserves.

Google, Facebook, Netflix etc. can do this easily since they can just sell the RSU shares on the public market. It's the illiquidity of the shares that makes this option costly for private companies.
Firebase team member here,

Anything specific you'd like to let us know about? Definitely agree that it hasn't been the smoothest transition--it's super hard to provide 24/7 support to hundreds of thousands of developers. Any feedback you can provide will help us refine that process.
You'll never get that evidence; the type of people who are willing to fill out a survey are not the same type of people who don't care and are just Getting Things Done.

FWIW internally the Go team has a survey of all Googlers each year about why they are or are not using Go, but I am guessing even then getting responses about why they aren't is hard to come by.

I personally have other axes to grind that are much higher on my list (like os.File not being an interface) than generics.
Calorie restriction lets monkeys live long and prosper
It is very high, of course, but this is HN, where everyone knows some friend's roommate's brother who makes $200K at Google--therefore $200K must be the going rate for software engineers everywhere in the valley. I highly doubt that there is a significant number of engineers outside these few outlier companies making those figures.

The reason it is referred to as a stand up is because it is short and you stand up for the whole thing. An hour long meeting is just that an hour long meeting. Something is not working right in that agile situation which is why they aren't happy.
I disagree that the Indiana law implies a right to speed, it just says that traffic should not be impeded. If you are going 65mph in a 65mph zone on a two lane road and someone comes up behind you at 80mph and you move over to pass as required by that law it's still entirely possible that they will be pulled over after they pass you.

The law is about reducing the hazards on the road. Impeding traffic flow is extremely dangerous, more so than most people seem to realize [2]. These laws also apply in cases where the passed vehicle is traveling below the speed limit.

The "stay right" rule is about not obstructing traffic because doing so is very dangerous. If that traffic is speeding then yes, they are also technically in the wrong but it is important to also stay right and not create an even more hazardous situation.

This also means the "cruise control pass" where one car slowly overtakes another is also illegal if it is delaying anyone else from passing.

Washington State has a similar law [1] as does Idaho I believe.

> How well do you think a web browser would run on a 68K?

It depends. If you want something like Opera or Firefox it won't run at all. If you are satisfied with basic functionality then you can use browsers like w3m which work well on low-powered devices. I think some developers will find a good compromise between performance and functionality.

And by the way, the very first R5 already runs with 320 MHz :-)

Agreed. I've used many nice libs using various monads, applicative builders, functors, yada yada under the hood; It can make the libs more pleasant to use for an end user for sure. But telling people that you should write EVERYTHING using this style because it's "objectively" superior strikes me as being almost religious.
Surely, you don't need IO monads to write, say, an API server.

But because she and her husband had invested $500 – two
months’ worth of his salary as a police officer – in an
inverter, or power backup device,

Their aim was to create a market for inverter importers
and the alternative energy lobby

The drain on supply is significant: Not only does the use
of inverters increase the load when electricity is
available, as people are using electronic devices and
charging the inverters at the same time, but 30 percent of
the energy is also lost between the time an inverter is
charged and the time it powers light electronic devices
during blackouts.

The joys of interpreting journalism written by nontechnical people. Reading between the lines, I'm guessing they're using "inverter" to mean big UPS systems-- a charger, battery bank, and output inverter. Calling the whole thing an "inverter" is like calling a car an "alternator".
> You _may_ be able to perform an early exercise on ISOs and perform an 83(b) election at the same time. I've done that twice now .. the first time worked out very well. The second time I'd anticipate will work out quite well as well.

Be careful. If your total grant (not the amount your exercising, but the total amount that will vest over four years) is worth more than $100,000, the amount in excess of $100,000 will lose ISO treatment and be treated as NSOs. So if your grant is worth $500,000, and you early-exercise a single share, $400,000 will be automatically converted to NSOs.

It's sometimes important to actually work out the math to overcome cognitive biases and faulty intuition.

Phrasing the statement as "Think of how dumb an average person you meet on the street is. Now realize that half of all people are even more dumb than that." primes the brain to denigrate the intelligence of a random person, leading to a wrong conclusion.

Another example relates to your formula for fuel economy - some locales use distance-per-volume (miles per gallon) while others use volume-per-distance (liters per 100 km). Intuition may suggest that upgrading from a 15 mpg vehicle to a 20 mpg vehicle is comparable to going from a 30 mpg vehicle to a 35 mpg vehicle - but it's not! Using the reciprocal more accurately describes the emissions and costs related to different fuel economies over the wide range of values that you'll measure in modern vehicles: The example compares a 15.7 -> 11.6 L/100km change and a 7.8 -> 6.7 L/100km change. These units make it much easier to intuit the results.

Doing the math occasionally is a good habit to get into!
