I find it far easier to consume vast amounts of calories when I'm eating straight carbs as opposed to foods with more balanced macronutrient compositions, such as cheeseburgers. The fat and protein would fill me right up.

I find it pretty easy to eat a whole bag of chips (1500ish kcal) and a bottle of soda (250ish kcal) in one sitting, but I likely wouldn't feel too well an hour or two afterward. Same goes for candy, it's so easy to just eat hundreds of calories when you're at your desk and not thinking too hard about it.

If I were trying to maximize my caloric intake at McDonald's, I'd probably get the burger and also a large fries (500kcal) with the BBQ sauce (I could probably go through 3 or 4 packets at 50kcal each, so that's another 1-200) and a large soda (300kcal), for a total of 1800 kcal. Still not a fully day's worth, but close.

The really hard part is getting sufficient protein for gaining muscle mass, especially if you're lactose intolerant or vegan/vegetarian...
I've always wondered, why can't we just pay one tax? Say make income tax 1.5x what it's now and cancel all other taxes. That way it'll be even easier!
Fortunately, while Brexit may be "forming tribes" and "creating division", it seems unlikely to involve participation in mass murder.
Publishers massively overvalue their inventory and don't understand how their million views are worth only buttons. Ad networks can't pay more because they don't get paid more from the advertisers. The key is that no one clicks on banners any more, so it really is a race to the bottom.

I'm not saying that this _is_ a phishing scam. But if it is, hoo boy it's a clever one.
I recently checked the sugar content in some Prego pasta sauce. It was something like 50+ grams of sugar in a smaller size jar (depending on the variety of the sauce). When I did the math, the sauce was contributing 25-30 grams of sugar per meal - similar to a can of soda. I found another sauce with 1/3 the sugar content at my grocery store. (And of course, pasta is not the thing to eat if you're looking for low carbs, but the point stands)

There has been tons of advertising about the health benefits of cereals, but cereal has tons of sugar. Honey Nut Cheerios have 10g of sugar per serving. Corn flakes have 8g per serving. Frosted Flakes have 11g. Some of the few low sugar varieties are Kix, Cheerios, and Rice Krispies. Even then, the added milk will have 10g of sugar.

>Go to zillow.com, enter a very low price range as search criteria, and select whatever state you like.

If you punch in a max price of $1, interestingly enough, you find foreclosure auctions on other people's urban and suburban houses. Nothing that would allow you to leave the capitalist market and live self-sufficiently, though.

>You are in no way forced to sell labor-power for wages,

Well yes, I am. I will die of starvation if I don't, while also homeless, because all available means of subsistence on this continent are monopolized by private owners (including, in many places, the state).

>You're landless? you don't want to sell your labor-power for wages? For just $8000 (obtainable via gov't welfare or your own productivity) I can put you on 20 acres next week, with a comprehensive multi-thousand-page manual on how to live off it.

First of all, I know of no welfare program which will simply give me $8000 to go live off the land. Secondly, if unused land costs anything at all (rather than being available by usage), then, as previously established, you're forcing people to work for wages.

You then have the next problem, that even if unused land was just given away for free, for instance under Homestead Acts, that land was of course forcibly stolen from its native inhabitants if it's in the Western Hemisphere or Australasia.

Every single scheme of capital or real property ever established in the world was established by violence. You can't get away from that. Half the time, it was done deliberately to dispossess self-sufficient peasant societies and create, artificially, a cheap labor force.
Yeah. I was eating ~1500 calories every day for lunch from McDonald's, plus two big protein shakes (another ~1400 calories), plus a 4-egg scramble with vegetables every morning and a rice/beans/veggies/chicken dinner. That's only a little over 4000 calories and I felt fucking disgusting. It turns out one of the tricks is timing, without a regular schedule I simply could not eat enough because I wouldn't be hungry.
This problem is solved with off site recycling. People get it wrong either through ignorance or laziness. Just dump it all in one bin and sort it at the facility. It's cheaper and more accurate. Add an arm to pick things off a conveyor belt, then you'd have something.
Wealthy people are against that. They prefer regressive taxes, like sales tax, that will be shift much more of the burden to the poor.

In fact, there's a whole batshit-crazy tax plan called FairTax that proposes changing all taxes to a simple sales tax.
In all honesty we get very few questions about ACID compliance from users and customers but I can go into how Blazing handles this. When you are importing data that data is always being imported into a temporary store where we will compress and process that data to get it ready for being added to the database. When you run a query you create a snap shot of what information is available at the beginning of the query. When new information is compressed and ready to be made available to query we bring it in and any query that starts AFTER this has been made available will be able to query that new found data. Update is not in place it is rather a Delete / Insert operation and is still in beta. When information is loaded into the system you do not receive a response that it was successfully loaded until it has been completely written to disk, compressed, and made available for querying. Anything short of this leads to that temporary data being wiped and an error returned to the load data infile command.
The debate on Item B pretty much ended in 1957.
Yup, I was trying to balance everything out and eat the right macros. I ended up settling on a DQPwC and a 10-piece chicken nuggets + 2 packets of ranch sauce + a small fries as my standard order.
I'm pretty good at the entire eating thing. I could easily see myself eating 2000 calories by eating a large burger, a plate of fries and a few cups of cola. I'm also 6'2" and eat fast.
Apache Maven 3.5.0-beta-1 Released
I haven't had sugar once since I started IF

Does that mean you haven't included sugar in your foods yourself, or you've managed to avoid eating any prepared food since you started?

Practically all prepared foods contain sugar, though they might not call it that in the ingredients list. When next you go boy chicken or turkey, read the list of ingredients. I'm talking about the raw forms, not the already cooked ones. It's shocking.
The milkshakes are a ripoff, just buy protein powder and whole milk and make your own at home for much, much cheaper. I wasn't doing a supersize me experiment, I ate a lot of other calories in other ways.
Jeff Bezos Is Now the World's Second Richest Person
We define how "political" an issue is precisely by how politicized it has become.

I agree that it shouldn't matter, but unfortunately it does and (ironically!) we can't pretend things are different just because that better suits our point of view.
Most people don't like or care about art films. Important distinction. They watch movies and series to be entertained and to be engrossed with the story. Not to appreciate the subtle nuances and artistic style. So most people will hate 1-2 star movies (including me).
And also the delivery of goods.
3-4 articles per day.

Probably split equally between tech things I think might be helpful ("Python, Bash, SQL how tos" etc.) and non-tech things which are novel.

Like "Guy frozen in ice brought back to life after 600 years" (which wasn't a real article but if it had been you bet I would have read it).

I avoid most article from major news source (I keep up with the news anyway) and most Medium stories and anything with a social justice type slant (nothing wrong with that, it's just not of interest and not why I'm here). Also skip most "Our startup is doing XX or shutting down or whatever".

Skim comments for many more articles (~20) and if they look interesting read more in depth.
This is the single best advice in this whole thread. I read it: it covers so much ground. You need to be a bit of a nerd (the text is loaded with refs to papers) and makes use of jargon where no simple alternative exists -- but it is by no means a hard read.

Srsly this book can add 15 healthy years to your life!
Red (https://github.com/reasonml/red) provides a useable frontend to the ocaml debugger. If your code compiles with bucklescript (most code will), the debug experience using node and the chrome inspector is surprisingly good even without source maps. The compiled ocaml maps to remarkably straight forward javascript for most code. I used both while developing Immutable-re.
Whenever I noticed that a site I'm visiting is "powered" by DECK, I was whitelisting it in the adblock. I hate ads, but I totally get that they keep things going in the Net, and so if there have to be ads they should be like the DECK: no tracking, no profiling, no being invasive. It's really a shame that an opposite of that triumphs today. In the long term it's gonna be painful for the users, for publishers, for the net, for advertisers as well. Probably for everyone, except for Facebook and Apple.

Nuclear giant Westinghouse files for bankruptcy after costs skyrocketed

Note the change from nuclear to coal.

Just so you know, you get more radiation from coal burning plants than nuclear plants.

tl;dr: Fukushima radioactivity measurements regularly get swamped by radioactive sulfur from coal burning plants in China.
Sorry, but that's batshit insane. My stomach is literally not big enough to handle that much liquid/volume in a single meal.

A huge sandwich, 32 oz of liquid, tons of fries, and then another cup of liquid?

Somewhere about mid-way through that a normal human being should feel sick and stop eating. That's not a "small" meal by any measure.
Did people ever click on banners after like 2002? CTR on these things are abysmal.

The whole ad business reeks of desperation. However, it does pay the bills, so I guess it actually works.
I still think "eat less" is bad advice, because just "eating less" chips/soda/garbage is pretty difficult. I've tried. It requires an extreme and inhuman amount of willpower. Our natural drive is to vacuum up all the easy energy in front of us.

"Eat better" is probably better/more useful vague advice. You can eat a whole lot of salad/veggies and it wont end up being that many calories (so, in this case, you're eating MORE, but consuming less energy/fewer calories). Same with meat. It's hard not to lose weight if you're eating a lot of (leaner) meat, because you feel extremely full after a couple hundred calories worth. If you start modifying your diet, your cravings will change too. It's all about these weird feedback loops.
I hate the attack on the models.

We don't use simulators for most liquid flow calculations, we have models that approximate liquid flows. Only a few years ago have computers been able to fully simulate a single atom, if Moore's Law were to hold it will still be... a very long time before we could simulate the approximately 1.e+49 atoms on Earth and all the energy flowing into our system.

So of course a model is going to have issues. Models are tuned to reproduce a close approximation, they aren't perfect simulations. The attack at models is a diversion. I doubt even a perfect simulation of our planet experiencing anthropological climate change would convince the majority of deniers.
I recognize many of these quotes (the cleaner ones) from the Latin textbook(s) that I used in high school [1]. It's amusing to think that the authors (who made plenty of their own subtle jokes) had to filter through lists like these to find the phrases that weren't too dirty for a middle-and-high school audience.

Leaving aside mid term leadership changes as a different can of worms, I think it's pretty clear that the UK public elected the Tories and David Cameron (and it was fairly obvious who his Cabinet would be even if they are not individually elected) on a fairly specific manifesto and with each MP being individually elected (limitations with FPTP notwithstanding).

No such equivalent exists in the EU no matter how hard you try and twist the facts.
Eating 4k in a day is a chore if you are used to controlling your intake and eating clean. It's not hard if you eat poorly.

There was once a time that I could put down a Costco box of Goldfish crackers (7400 calories) in an evening of hacking, with a few cans of Coke (another 600) to wash it down with. A package of Oreo cookies is north of 2500 calories. A "single serving" pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream is well over 1k calories.

Eating 4k calories well is hard - caloric density in good foods isn't nearly what it is in bad foods, and you're just going to physically fill up your stomach. Eating it poorly is, sadly, way too easy.
Omnichannel Orders – Does your system support it?
I can't see the article, but I suppose it mentions, that Intuit and Co. bribed officials to oppose this idea.
It's not as hard as you think, depending on the person. At age 17, I ordered a quadruple quarter pounder and ate it while out with friends. I don't remember if I had fries, but I certainly had a large coke with that.

Last time I was out with one of my good friends from high school, he ate two 8 ounce burgers in a sitting. He's probably 5'8" and no more than 150 lbs.

There's a huge variation in people's appetite.

We caused most of the current problem in this area, so it's not entirely "natural". Of course life spreads wherever it can, but we actively pushed it into places faster than local flora and fauna could adjust to it.
Because while simple, that's pretty regressive.
When we were in Paris last year my girlfriend broke her foot and I had to push her around in a wheelchair. It's a real pain to see that some elevator is not working and you have to walk half a mile to find the next one. Since then I have much more respect for people who have to deal with this every day.

If you consider a "perfect" diet to be an platonic/asymptotic ideal, then striving for it is meaningful, using the "shoot for the moon" concept - aiming for "balance" when you're unbalanced in one way, will give you suboptimal long-term results. Better aim for the ideal and settle for balance.
You're right, my reply was unnecessarily harsh. I apologize.
Coordinating Attack Response at Internet Scale (CARIS) Workshop Report
No place is "completely safe" to build a nuclear power plant (or anything else!). If nothing else, no matter where you build it, it is not 100% proof against attack by military action or evildoers.
Not everyone earns money via income. You have to define what "income" is exactly, then it starts getting complicated......

Example: I route my investment earning via a company, that company can claim expenses such as paying my utility bills and buying my groceries, anything leftover they give me. They work it out so my net income is zero, oops.

It's easier actually to tax purchases.
Having tried lots of game-making-apps and frameworks, I always keep coming back to Construct2, now 3. Also as web-dev I'm impressed by the good performance and usability. (If you find the time, maybe do a blog-post about the challenges you faced and clever solutions you came up with :-P)

I'm not a fan of apps in browsers, but on a Mac it beats having to start VMWare and Windows by far!

For me, the hugest win over 2 is the ability to run it on the mobile device in parallel and have almost instant testing. Maybe you could add a feature like generating a preview-url at some point?

On my Android it didn't work with the latest updated Chrome, but it works fine with Chrome Canary or Beta, which can be downloaded from the Play-Store.

Also great to be able to pay monthly, even if it's a bit more.

So, 1000x thanks for making Construct!
Relatively static is correct. The data you bring into blazingdb is normally brought in ready to be operated on with the understanding that it will not change on a regular basis. So there are many datasets that already exist, do not change, and are absolutely enormous that people want to analyze. GPUs allow us to quicky compress and decompress data to reduce file i/o bottleknecks, perform massive transformations much more quickly than on cpu, give us the computational capacity to find the best ways to optimize the layout of the information to take the most advantage of data skipping. The intention here is to provide you access to arbitrary large amounts of data with a horizontally scalable database solution that has orders of magnitude more computational capacity than a cpu based solution.

You should eat sugar with fiber i.e. fruits.
That sounds about right. I seem to recall just ordering a 20 piece chicken nuggets and calling it a day, but my struggle is typically weight loss as opposed to weight gain.
I completely agree with you. Actually, you can take it a step further and actually write an article about how functional the MeeGo OS is in general.

I utilized the N9 for a few months a couple of years ago and just loved the OS. Of course there were bugs, but that's expected from an open source OS. However, the main reason I decided to move on was because of the app ecosystem.
All it needs is an API and you could easily build a tool which does just that.

Though if you wanted it to actually explain `cat foo.txt > out.txt` and not just output the explanation for `cat foo.txt` to `out.txt` you'd probably have to put that in quotes.

>That's how government fundamentally works: escalation of compulsion until submission or death.

Of course, but it goes the other way around, too. I say, "I'll take some fruit off this tree". You say, "die trespasser!" and shoot at me. You have now shot at me.

You no doubt have an ideological justification: that property titles magically justify shooting at nonviolent people in a way that nothing else does. You equate alternative management schemes for natural resources with physical violence against a human being, which is why your scheme inevitably breaks down into you finding elaborate ways to say "fuck you and die" to everyone around you while spraying machine-gun fire everywhere.
I love this idea in theory, and basically revisit it every year during tax season.

The tax/tax prep lobby is strong, and perhaps needfully so, as a whole bunch of people have their livelihoods wrapped up in it, but
I often wonder if that whole industry is not actually a net negative for the economy.

edit: How do we help this idea take flight?
REST and JSON best practices (2013)
Most tax reform proposals (at least those aiming for flatter systems) advocate lowering rates in exchange for eliminating the deductions and loopholes. Bringing the statutory rate and the effective rate closer together.
Of course it's specified. It's an excuse for being fat.
Some local contaminations (Chernobyl, Fukushima) are not going to contaminate the whole planet, at most few hundred thousand square kilometers each. This is not in any way a desired event, and if nuclear technology would be developed, and not demonized, its probability could be far smaller, as many technologies are already available to avoid such accidents, which have all happened on old power plants.

The German population is about 30% larger than it was 100 years ago. The industrial revolution resulted in a population boom, which has had most if its effect already in Europe by that time, that is why I referred to Europe. On one hand the world wars have resulted in many lost lives, yet the population boom since then happened mostly in the developing world since then.

Now while this is not a desired development in human history, but inlands of continents could support life in large enough numbers to have civilization(s) survive, even if the net number of humans would be smaller than currently.

Please rest assured, we will not be forced to live in bunkers because of Fukushima, and even if another such tragedy would happen, we could mostly keep out lifestyles, until the global warming caused problems would cause much more changes in it.

Correction: this proposal would not have simplified taxes (i.e., the California tax code). It would merely have simplified the filing of tax returns for the most common case, salaried workers receiving all of their income from a single source.

Very big difference. HRBlock and Intuit are heavily vested in maintaining the current tax filing system. They are not, however, meaningful players in the attempts to rewrite the tax code.
I haven't looked at his code, but why would he use either if he's using Qt? Qt has its own QString class that's far superior to C++'s native strings.

So, something along the lines of the Shuttle computer design. That makes sense. Thank you for answering. I'm wondering about this because I expect the MTBF demon to kick in when the numbers go up. Right now the numbers are so small that equipment failure is negligible, but as soon as the numbers are high enough that these failures become more common the better architectures will start to stand out.
Those things are still allowed. Just don't use Google services.
