I think the point OP is trying to make is that it is very easy to eat in excess (calorie-wise) to what you are burning by training since physical activity will often make you crave more food. Doing some kind of training is obviously good for you, but you will not necessarily lose weight if you don't restrict your caloric intake.

Just like intelligence differs, your ability to gain or lose weight is not the same as other peoples'. In my experience it is not fair, but on the other hand, what is?

I would recommend something like the slow carb diet (Tim Ferriss), but anything that restrict your intake of calories and that you feel you can sustain over a long period of time is good.
I exaggerated. But very few people bother to say it should be revoked/amended compared to the number that just don't care.

Edit: interesting article, but he is not claiming that his preferred policies are unconstitutional, and that we should change the Constitution to allow them. He is saying that they are already constitutional, and we should update the amendment to more closely match his interpretation.

That doesn't require any courage. It's just another way of saying "I'm right; let's update the text to say so."

I purposely didn't use the words "database" or "persisted".

My comment applies even more so when data is persisted to durable storage (i.e. disk) but was meant to apply generally to any distributed data stores.

Bay Area: Tech job growth has rapidly decelerated
Congratulations. Although it seems like a small number, all great journeys start with a single small step.

Having said that, do you really think the "pay what you want" is the best pricing model for you?

For me when faced with this model, I always worry that I am paying too little or too much and often don't do it at all. It feels like a donation. While having a fixed price allows me to use my cost-benefit analysis which guides my reasoning.

Also, programmers always seem to have this fear of asking for money for their services. Why is that?
Cons: Below market salary AND tiny stock options. If you're offering a Sr. Engineer a $50k-$70k salary, then offering 0.1%-0.25% of the equity is unacceptable.

I'll protect myself by refusing. They can detain me for as long as they want. I'll fight it in court, because I am a US citizen and god dammit they do not have the right to warrantlessly review my encrypted communications.

It's not irrelevant, because it allows you to understand what words like "militia" and "well regulated" meant at the time. They don't mean what a casual reader might think they do. The Supreme Court frequently goes back an looks at other historical records/writings of the time to dig into the real meaning of the words.

It really doesn't matter, because as Heller held, the first part of that sentence is the prefatory clause which doesn't limit or expand the scope of the actual, operative clause: "the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed."
Ask HN: What do you expect from you mobile web browser?
Hi!

I've grown a bit frustrated with vanilla mobile web browsers (Chrome, Safari)[0], so I started playing with the idea of building a mobile web browser from first principles (instead of porting Desktop concepts directly to mobile).

I've gotten to a first (relatively usable) proof of concept that explores ditching tabs altogether on mobile[1]. But before going any further, I was curious to hear what you'd expect/want from your mobile web browsers that you don't get today?

Any feedback on how you use or don't use your mobile web browser is also welcome obviously!

[0] I've also tried a couple others: Firefox, Dolphin, Brave.

Eurostar does, and some TGV trainsets do. But some other high speed rail trainsets in Europe don't.

If the floor is below the top of the wheels, there has to be a narrow section at the car ends. The wheels have to go someplace. The lost space can be minimized by sharing a bogie between two cars.

(If the floor is below the axle line, as with ultra low floor trams, it's really complicated.)
I can't find another source that says literally that of this poll[0], but Slate's article[1] resonates similarly:

"Wakefield developed a questionnaire that delved into Americans’ misunderstandings of “the cloud.” By releasing a less B2B-focused survey, Citrix was able to, for the first time, connect the brand to “the cloud” for the wider consumer population – not just in B2B circles. Stats such as, “51% think inclement weather interferes with cloud computing,”

But it hasn't. Until they sell. They didn't need to make the investment to get those licensing fees.
I think they pursue a similar approach to programming or implementing programming logic as DRAKON.

If you believe their website it has been used in the Russian Space Program.

But I have to agree with you, this DeepUI looks a PITA to work with in comparison to DRAKON.

http://drakon-editor.sourceforge.net/
The closest competition to GitHub seems to be GitLab at the moment, but I heard it's slow to some users. The UI also felt a bit "off" to me (primarily because I'm used to having code, not the README, as the index page of a repo)

I have my private projects on GitLab because it's free. (BitBucket before that; good riddance)
Omg people watching illegal porn is so bad that we should give up our privacy.

One day, some one is going to pass a law or do something that you don't like because the government will have unprecedented access and control of information flow. They can stop you seeing or even sharing. And it may be happening already but nobody knows.
IF gets talked about quite a lot, actually. There's so many different types of interment fasting so it's kinda hard to generalize too much.

I only eat one time a day (dinner) and I'm fatter than ever. It's pretty natural for me to do that and I certainly eat less than than when I worried about trying to eat lunch. But I'm still fat and gaining despite the fact I watch my diet now, unlike when I was thin.

> You mean people actually use the handbrake for hill starts with a manual? I thought it was just something you do when first learning. I've always found it more difficult to coordinate everything with the handbrake, I can operate all the pedals quick enough anyway.

Your comment makes me think you've never had to do a hill start on a sufficiently steep hill with a sufficiently heavy vehicle. I don't care how fast you are moving your foot from the brake to the accelerator, you will roll backwards. Not to mention the wear you're putting on the clutch, which again, won't take that kind of abuse in a heavy vehicle.
Yes, which makes this especially abhorrent. The government insists the searches are only of "visitors."

Nobody has an obligation to refuse to comply (and be detained and/or jailed) but if put in this situation I would refuse. I'm not willingly giving up my rights without a court compelling me.
Actions such as crimes are traditionally illegal. Information about actions such as crime is traditionally legal. Should we ban all recordings of any crime under moralist or flimsy arguments such as that they encourage others to commit the crimes recorded?

Not only would this expand the scope of "criminal" to include people who have not committed such crimes (and may never do so), but I think it's a futile and petulant exercise, albeit one with benefit to intrusive law enforcement (and I'm echoing feedback provided elsewhere in this thread).
Got to herd cattle for that, got to travel alot to feed that cattle, got to fight other tribes to keep the cattle, got to have Kalashnikov and arrows to keep the cattle, got to trade those techs in with somebody who melts down iron and digs, got to trade them with food, got to make a long logic chain, to escape admitting you got a point, frozenport.
It was a nice explanation for a otherwise disadvantages behavior, while it was blasted by he historians that lasted.
Also a Sprouts fan for produce... pretty consistently higher quality than other local options. I'll still get meat elsewhere, and tend not to use them for frozen or boxed goods. I will get the dry/bulk stuff there though. About the only think I'll go to WF or AJs for is more exotic mushroom varieties.

More parts. Fluid needs travel through flexible and/or hinged parts. Longer hose. Cannot spray fluid without wipe (a big deal in cold weather). Fluid in hoses can be blocked (again, ice) whereas parts in engine compartment are kept warmer. No overspray beyond wiped area. No cross-coverage by multiple sprays in case one becomes blocked. Can the tesla sprays be aimed/adjusted by hand?

It's one of the many tesla features i just shake my head about. It sounds cool but there is good reason the other billion cars on the road went with the simple solutions. Water and wipers are cheap. Dont mess with a good thing.
Here's the link to the youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zFrAxxlb-0

I'll also start by saying that I use less and less my mobile web browser since:

- many apps (like Facebook) do embed webviews that are now really powerful.

- I use the Gmail app for email, and a native app for most communication interactions (Slack, iMessage, Discord, etc...)

But yet I do often end-up using a web browser on my mobile pretty often (at least a couple times a day, if only to check HN or interact with Github) and I'm amazed how useless are tabs for me and how hard it is to find back content that I visited earlier. These are the two main pain points that I focused on initially and tried to solve with that first proof of concept.
For reasons unknown to me, the wipers on US military trucks, like the M35, are air operated. They also have a handle you can use to operate them manually if the pneumatic system fails.

> I'll protect myself by refusing. They can detain me for as long as they want. I'll fight it in court, because I am a US citizen and god dammit they do not have the right to warrantlessly review my encrypted communications.

While I don't agree it's a good thing, I think they do have the right to detain you indefinitely and/or search whatever they damn well please if it's on your person. I don't think asking for a password that doesn't unlock a device in your possession would pass muster, but unlocking your phone would. Your rights (as a citizen) at the border aren't the same as when you're not there.

Also, I think the definition of "at the border" includes anywhere with 100 miles of the physical end of jurisdiction (so effectively you sitting at home in most of the west or east coasts is "at the border").

> If we've gone so far on the path towards authoritarianism that even citizens don't have rights, I'll just never come back in.

FYI, I think they have the same right to search you or hold you indefinitely on the way out as well.

This was a lot more informative / interesting to me! I didn't really get the motivation at all reading just the blog post.
Probably. I built rockets as a kid, and built a glider one time. I don't do a lot of hardware hacking these days, but maybe it's time to start again. Being able to deflate it would be a nice thing...I live in an RV, and I already have too much stuff.
I got through to the final offer stage of a job, and sent through a few questions to ensure I was making the correct decision. One of those was "are you okay with me being involved with the local X community by doing things like giving talks". The company actually didn't like this at all and revoked their offer (offer was verbal not on paper at this stage.) I consider that to be "not being a good culture fit"

At one of my last roles, we actively tried to expand the team with people who weren't caucasian males so that our inter-team communication may get better (amongst other pros.) Mind you that company in question also had rules about having to interview females for every role.
Agreed.. anything boxed/frozen that WM carries, they're very good on price. Also agreed on fresh... will never do meat from WM again, and their produce section is really bottom of the barrel.
Considering that they're white and not likely to be profiled like a person of color would, I highly doubt they'd be chosen.
Wow, great questions.

Yeah, I don't think "pay what you want" is a good long term solution, but it is giving me a sense of the range in which people are willing to pay. Some of those payments are higher than I ever would have felt comfortable charging!

I also feel this fear of asking for money, and I'm not sure why...
The author and some comments tend to confuse skills, success, and intelligence.
I think the author describes successful and skillful software engineers who are far from being highly intelligent. It just happened that their skills of constructing program is highly valuable in the current market conditions. Which feeds their arrogance and leads to all kinds of ugly consequences.
The hardware engineers of the 20-th century had the same issues. The main hero of the movie Falling Down is an excellent example of such guy.
There's lots of effort to harmonize laws across states. No reason that Minnesota would do much other than rubber stamp a drug approved in Wisconsin (assuming Wisconsin was not famously bad at approving drugs).

Also, is your last paragraph sarcasm? Every state does have its own vehicle regulations. The feds use project funding as a carrot to get states to do things, but the regulation is mostly at the state level.
I would be interested in a quality practical design course. What I'd like to learn: how to build some simple but cool product from the ground up, with current best practices and tips. Not interested much in the ideation part.
Are the majority of people as dumb as they seem?

In fact, almost half of them have below-average intelligence.

But seriously, media-managed perceptions have a lot of effect. Most Americans have low approval ratings of Congress in general but much higher approval of their individual Congressmember.
Images and videos of child sexual abuse aren't just "information about [...] crime"; their creation, possession, and distribution are all actions which themselves qualify as criminal under modern American jurisprudence. This is generally justified on the grounds of ongoing harm to the victims, which, while not unreasonable, I think might be a weaker argument than that distribution in particular may make and expand a market even when not done for money, in the same fashion that sharing pirated content tends to be a good way of gaining access to more of the same.

In any case, these are all currently crimes in their own right, so they fall under your first category, rather than your second, so I'm not quite clear what sort of point you're making here.

No they can't. Refusing to allow a US citizen to (ever) re-enter the country isn't allowed. At worst they can detain you.

The clientel of these stories would probably be either students at college or professionals working in these fields.

Pay what you want probably yeilds more money for them since the college kids aren't barred from paying something (even if it is $1/month) and the big-earners probably feel better giving more (maybe 5 to 10/month).

It has the drawbacks of having a large group who doesn't pay but it also gives a large group who otherwise wouldn't be able to afford the material a chance to chip into the pot and get something out of it.
You expect people to behave a certain way when you know they won't. Then you let them get to you because you don't stand to whatever you did.

You expected them to compliment you. It means you are proud of what you did. But if you really are proud of what you did you wouldn't care about their opinion in the first place.

So either you are somewhat ashamed of what you did and regret that it became public or wanted to brag with it but are now angry that you colleges made fun of you instead.
Do you think that, perhaps, the fact that all the Canadian gangs keep it under the radar while Latino and Black gangs do all the "represent" game with leaving disfigured bodies, tagging cities, hanging around streets wearing gang colors etc is relevant? I am sure that Canadian cartels and gangs are just as dangerous, pushing all the contraband maple syrup and making our kids addicted to sugar, but, somehow, they figured out the PR game and keep the news of their kidnappings, executions and drive-bys out of sight.
Most promisingly, this metric was recently used as a basis for voiding the gerrymandering attempts of Wisconsin Republicans.

I don't see this happening, in Europe at least. It seems like a clear violation of the right to freedom of expression and right to family and private life so shouldn't be possible for any of the 47 members of the Council of Europe (who are bound by the ECHR).
How does that help? Aren't you passing judgment here?
For all of you guys recommending using fake accounts, do remember that right before christmas, Obama administration signed in new rules[1], giving NSA leeway to share their collected data with 16 other agencies, including DHS, which CBP falls under. So you may get caught if you try to pull these shenanigans off. US agencies are no strangers to mission creep when it come's to sharing data, as seen recently in this article from Intercept on how FBI is building a national watchlist for companies that want to have realtime updates on whether their employees have committed any crimes while employed. [2]

Two quotes from the NYT article that I feel are important to have in the back of your head when you plan your fake accounts:

Now, other intelligence agencies will be able to search directly through raw repositories of communications intercepted by the N.S.A. and then apply such rules for “minimizing” privacy intrusions.

But Patrick Toomey, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, called the move an erosion of rules intended to protect the privacy of Americans when their messages are caught by the N.S.A.’s powerful global collection methods. He noted that domestic internet data was often routed or stored abroad, where it may get vacuumed up without court oversight.

Let's say CBP get's a tool in a couple of months that let's their border agent search up any passenger through the NSA raw data. That search may then produce your real accounts. Let's say they do this before questioning you, and you then provide them with your fake accounts, that will not look good.

I'd really like more big and important projects would move their development to GitHub-styled services. Maybe I'm just not hardcore enough, but I feel they make live easier, both for maintainers, contributors and newcomers.

But it's probably too hard to switch and core developers don't see point in it (since they're totally ok with working their way). Maybe when a new generation developers will take core positions...
