So, for your first question, no, we didn't evolve for the food we need to survive to cause inflammation. In the past, ancient humans had no diabetes or cancer, and ate mostly protein, fats (saturated and monounsaturated), high fiber vegetables, and roughly a 1:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids. So it seems more likely that our relatively recent addition of sugar, vegetable oils and highly refined carbohydrates (lacking any fiber content) has something to do with that.

I think your second question is on the money. CR seems like a red herring in this case, because it's likely that those who eat less will also eat less processed foods, less sugars, and more fibrous vegetables or filling fats that would help them actually keep their calorie intake low while still feeling satiated. In the study with the Rhesus monkeys, it said that the ones that weren't on calorie restriction were diabetic or pre-diabetic. Monkeys in the wild don't really get diabetes, in the same way that our human ancestors never got diabetes, so what were they feeding these monkeys? I looked at some of the source studies backing this bbc article. The report from the Nature magazine(https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms14063) actually says that the University of Wisconsin study 'contained a significantly higher amount of sucrose compared to the NIA diet' (https://www.nia.nih.gov/newsroom/announcements/2017/01/calor...) and that the other study, the one with a diet of varied protein sources, actually did not see any health benefits in the CR monkeys.
I wonder, if you fed the UW monkeys a diet low in sucrose and other easily digestible carbohydrates in order to keep their blood glucose and inflammation extremely low, would there be a big difference in the health of the CR monkeys and the others? If the NIA study is any indication, probably not.
I'm a actually going to start scrubbing my LinkedIn and resume and see what happens.
Yes.

What? What do you mean by pseudo-vectorial instructions? Do you mean loop auto vectorization?
Sure... and 3 guys in China control 50%+ of the Bitcoin network, and ETH mining will eventually centralize as well. What's your point? I'd rather have Janet Yellen controlling my currency than Jihan Wu/Barry Silbert/Brian Armstrong.

Owners of the TRS-80 called it the "triss-80". It was owners of other computer brands that called it the "trash-80".

My TRS-80 is still in my attic. I learned assembly language from Bill Gates - I disassembled and hand-annotated a significant portion of the ROM. I deeply regret throwing away my commented printout during a purge in my youth. :-/
It might not be anyones business, but it also shows the faith or future you see in the company.

Higher the amount of shares then the more you see their upside. The lower the number, the more they have downside.

Not asking to see how many shares OP owns, but can see it's relevance.
I have a fetish for watching complicated court cases play through. What you realize is a judge in a courtroom has a lot of power. They can take your money, freedom or even kids. However, if I had few hundred thousand in Ethereum encrypted placed into a few random anonymous git hub repros, well, the government can't take it. It is truly yours. No one can take it. That must be horrifying proposition for (some) governments - the inability to control people.
The British East India Company was able to do this; they issued their own currency at various times. I'm not sure we'll ever see a company with that kind of temporal power again, though.

It's actually sets that are underrated. All languages should come with a reference implementation.

Hashtables aka Maps aka Dictionaries aka Associative arrays are just fine.

No one has mentioned that sometimes older people don't fit into the culture of the business.
The author of the article does not say underrated at all from what I can see; just something the OP included in his title. Your point still stands, though.
Sometimes I really do wish I went into an industry where experience matters, such as law or medicine.
Not taxing a negative externality is a 'subsidy'?

This a huge stretch. If this is true, the government must be subsidizing obese men to wear banana hammocks.

I would say certs have value in security management, compliance and audit. In fact, if you want to take one of those paths, certs are mandatory. If you want to do technical security (which is totally different), then get a CS or EE degree and maybe a few SANS certs (optional unless you are in a regulated/compliance oriented industry). Finally, having a security clearance will help as well, especially if you or your employer want to do government contracting.

Edit: To expand on the cert topic... if you want to do computer forensics for law offices, police departments, etc. You'll need a technical cert (GCFA, etc.). And having a CS/EE/CE degree won't hurt either. You'll have to have a cert to do serious forensic work.
At Manifold(1), we built Torus from the ground-up to solve a consistent pain when building cloud apps: securely storing, sharing, and rotating secrets used to build, run, and deploy code. Our goal is to make it simple for anyone, not just the security savvy, to keep their secrets out of git and off disk.

To do this, we designed our security model (host and cryptography architecture) for hosting in the cloud to ensure we never have access to any of the keys used to encrypt or sign secrets — they’re derived from a user’s password and never forwarded along. We’ve posted more information in our documentation(2).

The server is currently closed source, with plans to open source it. The client (where all cryptographic operations happen) is open source.

Someone a while ago wrote a blog post comparing the pricing sections on various startup websites and how some startups don't have actual prices on the site, and made a comment about how if SpaceX can put a pricing section on their site, your startup can surely manage it too.
I've felt the same way over the years, though my belief in that maxim is fading for at least two reasons. One, is that if you're going to extend beyond index funds, it's probably best to invest in companies/industries you know best. And secondly, "tech" is a very broad industry, and there's no reason to think it couldn't come to be a larger and larger share of the whole economy. "Tech" is set to continue disrupting industrial, transportation, agricultural, and energy sectors. I think when you look at it that way, it's almost foolish to avoid tech. Oh, and I'll add a third: would you rather invest in something that is growing, or something that is stagnant/dying?
> the undersea distance is not actually that far relative to other undersea projects.

Undersea HVDC lines are nothing like the undersea fiber optic cables. The problem isn't whether or not we can create a cable like that, it's the transmission losses that long-distance power lines have. Even for HVDC you're dealing with ~3.5% loss per 1000km.

Shipping electrons over the oceans is only going to be a "question of displacement" when we have superconducting lines, but right now those need to be chilled with liquid hydrogen or nitrogen along the entire length of the cable... Meaning the infrastructure and operational costs are even more than the cost of the lost electricity.

Their board is consist of famous politicians who have powers.

This is exactly what a just government should stop. The winner should rise up via their economic prowess (i.e., their ability to provide a better/cheaper/lighter/denser good or service that improves human life). NOT their political power (i.e., lobbying for regulations to kneecap an innovative competitor).

What hangs in the balance is your access to a better life. Words cannot describe how much better life is when you don't have to babysit physical servers, drive to the mall to buy a pair of jeans, drive to the grocery store to get things like food and soap, etc. If you don't speak up and root for the innovators - those that make long bets when everyone else is against them - you are doing nothing more than shutting down your own future. (It is not an inevitability that achievement is rewarded. There are periods in history and in other cultures where this does not occur! Thus it is a mistake to take wealth and technology for granted - it didn't always exist, and it may not exist in the future. Especially if those that take great risks to drive humanity forward are mercilessly swatted down by lesser minds.)

Amazon is a company that made several such long bets.

Exhibit A: an article, entitled "Can Amazon Survive?" from 1999: http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article/can-amazon-surviv...

So long as we're looking at intellectual property, and arguments against it:

An online book by UCLA economics professors Michele Boldrin and Mark Levine, making the case against intellectual property -- patents, and copyright most especially.

The opening chapter leads off with the patent battles of James Watt, which are credited by some authors with setting back the start date of the Industrial Revolution from 1769, when the patent was issued, to 1800, when it (after parliamentary extension) finally expired.

When you're past entry level, you need to be getting jobs through your network not by cold-calling or submitting resumes in response to ads.

I've changed jobs three times since I was 40, but in all cases I knew people at my new employer who could sell me internally.

I don't think it's so much age as it is that employers don't want to take as much risk on an unknown person for more senior level positions.
If that were true there would be no economy.
You don't get too old to be relevant. You get too old to be cheap.
IME, more like either "nuh-monia" or "noo-monia", depending on the individual. Never heard anything like "ne-monia".
That's fair. To be honest, if I lived in a country where police officers had a habit of being filmed murdering law-abiding citizens with impunity, cleaning up IP law wouldn't be real high on my to do list. I think we'll need to look to the EU to see any real movement on fixing this. If OA Journals become de rigeur there, we'll see similar shifts in North America.
There are clear patterns in Vue that encourage you to put your filters, methods and every other piece in its place, but at the same time, depending on your deadline you can choose not to create a single-file component for every <li> and just use a <template> tag. I like that!
I understand your point, though.
Hmm, okay, let's say we compare:
- Working in the back of the house in a restaurant
- Someone who visits old people and also cooks and cleans for them.

The first one, while requiring skill and being a relatively low-paid job that a lot of people might not want to take, technically doesn't require customer interaction. (And perhaps not even much in the way of English skills, which makes it a more practical job for some immigrants.)

For the home visit, the actual cooking and cleaning, though important, might not actually be the most important reason they're there?

How should we talk about the difference?
About 1/3 of the UK's gas imports are as LNG also (the other 2/3 is via pipelines, mainly from Norway). But the LNG comes exclusively from Qatar [1], which has a huge LNG export terminal (and not much domestic demand).

The US doesn't have all that much export capacity, though it does seem that more is under construction. From what I can find, current US LNG terminal capacity is around 2 billion cubic feet per day (Bcfpd), equal to a bit under 3% of domestic production. But projects under construction will raise that to about 6 Bcfpd in the next few years. That's more than I would've guessed, and at ~8% of domestic production that's starting to get into a serious potential outlet for gas. Although still not enough to absorb a huge downturn in domestic demand, if there were one.

(Side note: The abbreviation Bcfpd sounds like a parody of US customary units, but it does really seem to be in common use.)

>They aren't the future, they are deeply flawed ponzi-schemes, this is obvious.

By definition, they are not ponzi schemes. None of your claims are obvious, and implying otherwise is disingenuous.

>But we better find out what the future is before they start converting the gullible masses to a currency that is less secure in many ways that is swept under the rug.

Ah yes the "gullible masses", and the wise men and women who know better.

How about we respect other people as adults who have a right to buy whatever they want with their own money and stop trying to treat them like sheep that need to be protected from their own gullibility. Your presumptions of knowing what's best for them, to the point where you'd like them to be denied the option of buying them, are extremely condescending.

I agree with this sentiment.

The sentiment on HN is that ICO promoters/startups are all scammer. My company, Pipeline Network is going to launch our ICO soon. We would be more than happy to get some guide/mentorship from the YC community.
The article states it's for a variety of jobs including low-paid by the hour jobs, therefore willingness to work overtime shouldn't be an issue.
The goal post of what constitues "mass killing" has moved since 1945. Maybe we can at least agree that not slipping that post backwards is a good thing?

I don't keep a catalogue of these kinds of tweets/media reports etc -- going back for 20 seconds to find examples I come across new types of media/messaging in similar vein (not vetted)

And how about the #killallmuslims hashtag -- search it and follow along with some of the verified accounts/accounts that seem to be legitimate humans.

Nowhere did I try to claim that this was majority view, but similar voices have a lot of influence now. The public dialogue around terrorism and Islam which has been in a sad and misguided state for decades, has diverged even further from reality in terms of what issues are important, what/who is dangerous and to whom, and why. We have real policy and public discourse aimed at satisfying people who believed that Barack Obama was a Muslim that wanted to impose Sharia law on the West. Search for Islam on Breitbart and you will quickly find innumerable topics discussing the holy war nature of the Wests conflict with Islam.

You are trying to "leave up to readers" a decision about what exactly?

My position: counterterrorism movement is off the rails, dangerously unfocused, subject to evil political games, causing massive harm to the world and in fact more harmful than the amorphous "terrorist" movements it claims to oppose.

Your claim: counterterrorism movement makes mistakes but is restrained compared to the firebombing of Dresden in WW2, long term western wars fueled by counterterrorism movement haven't necessarily accomplished many useful goals but are not immoral because the long term intent remains moral despite the actual numbers and dispositions of people killed
That's the current wisdom, yes.

To be fair, Ethereum looks like a scheme of some kind (not Ponzi necessarily). The vast majority of the ether is controlled by a single company, which is literally just selling it for money.

... I get the other advantages to Ethereum, but it's not Bitcoin where there is actually a distributed number of people managing it.
I have no doubt you're a good hearted person and have not made any assumptions to the contrary, but it does read as if you are chilled by a request for evidence that reason and truth are the best means of combating racial purity ideologies.

It would certainly be nice to rely on reason and truth if those strategies are indeed reliable. But the extant question is what if they're not?

The historical record suggests that appeals to reason, truth, and morality actually have a really terrible record as practical responses to autocracy. As we've been talking about Nazis, it's an easily verifiable fact that there was abundant intellectual, political, and religious opposition to their ideology and that none of these proved especially effective.

Once the nazis got comfortable and installed their people in key administrative positions, they just started arresting people whose public behavior was politically inconvenient for them. I don't want to start drawing parallels with individual current events which is more likely to confuse than to inform, but they're not hard to imagine.
You can trade for goods or services with your coins. You cannot trade for anything with cash dug in the desert. Cash is confiscated daily by authorities.
How do you turn eth into spendable money without a bank account?
The amount of shares and value is all relative and has no bearing on "the faith or future you see in the company". Somebody investing $1,000 in Apple who only has $1,000 to invest is the same as somebody investing 10M who has 10M to invest.

I believe the real question you're looking for, is what percent of your portfolio is each of your companies.
> Nothing got hot enough to start showing up in the visible spectrum (good).

The new grid fins undergo the same amount of heating, they're just better able to cope with the heat. The reduced heat in this case was due to the much lower energy entry profile (the partial boostback burn killed a large chunk of the stage's velocity prior to reentry, combined with the fact that it was a lower energy orbit in the first place).
In my experience the only intermittent fadting pattern that works is to eat your food later.

If you try to eat 2000 calorie lunches, you'll have major lethargy in the afternoon and insomnia from hunger in the evening.

Better to use hunger as a driver during the day, then gorge and go to sleep at night.
Yeah, assuming I stick to the PhD, the default plan would be to do an internship every summer. I guess I'll start looking for potential companies before searching for something full-time.

Thanks for the advice :)
It is really a basic data structure in most modern languages. Either built on or part of the standard library.

I can see if this was published in late 90's but today, I don't know.

And just use the built-in ones don't invent your own unless there is a very good reason for it.
So funny to be called older people when you are 43 and party with the best of them. Anyway.

This is why I decided to start my own company again after 4 1/2 years at Square.

This way age becomes an asset rather than a liability.
Maybe if you're a <40 manager or interviewing team then you don't really know, so it's better not to risk it. Besides, what would you talk about at lunch?
s/ephemeral/ethereal/
I am 43 I know this is true. Even for people in their thirties.

This is why I decided to start my own company again after 4 1/2 years at Square which was probably the last time I ever would be working for someone else.

This way age becomes an asset rather than a liability.
I've said this in other threads, but ethereum isn't a Ponzi scheme, it's a platform for Ponzi schemes.

> Blockchain is perhaps the most economically important invention of the last 500 years

Holy cow are you serious? The most economically important in the last 500 years?

So the steamship, the airplane, the automobile, the railroad, the telephone, the printing press, nuclear power, vaccinations, electricity, radio, radar, the semiconductor, television, the cell phone, penicillin, the Gregorian calendar, pasteurization, the refrigerator, the microscope, the telescope, electric lighting, the transistor, the Internet, the microprocessor, and pretty much everything that makes modern life possible is somehow less important than the block chain?

Even is you limit this to just banking, you have widespread checking, credit cards, credit reporting, interbank transfers, wire transfers, mortgage lending, and more. And the blockchain is more important than all of those?

I get it. *coins are cool, but it has a LONG way to go to even be in the in the same league as the greatest inventions of the last 500 years. Let's reasses this in 50 years or so and see where we are before declaring blockchains more important than penicillin. :)
It is a currency. You can trade it for goods or services. The idea of moving it into a national currency is what we do now because we are in the early stages. I see a future where you just pay in coin.
Except if an "older than us" came into the business, the culture would change somewhat. But we always want to keep out people that are different from us, in the small and in the large.
That could work, but cryptocurrencies are more convenient. You could transfer your coins anywhere in the world much easier. For example, you could donate your coins Wikileaks undetected, but it's much harder to do that with cash buried in the desert. It's also possible that the government may declare some bills invalid (what happened in India with larger bills). Also, government could inflate away your wealth by printing more currency.
