I posted the following as a reply a few weeks ago, but it might interest some people so I'll re-post it here.

Caveat - this is my interpretation of the various research pieces I've come across. I might be wrong.

It seems that having some period of starvation that is beneficial. Overall calorie intake is less relevant. Decreased overall caloric intake may actually be bad (can't find a link for this at the moment).

Benefits appear to include decreased risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome, possible decreased cancer risk, and decreased risk of neurological disease. Also longer life expectancy in some animals, as yet unproven in humans.

Even fasting for short periods regularly appears to be beneficial [5]

Three main reasons - autophagy, ketosis and decreased inflammation.

Autophagy, a kind of intracellular recycling operation, is increased by, inter alia, starvation [1]. It seems likely that most of the benefits of fasting derive from this. Valter Longo is a key researcher into this. Of particular interest to me is his work on fasting coupled with chemotherapy. [2]

Ketosis occurs when all your glucose and glycogen (a polymer of glucose) are used up, and you burn fat instead. Mark Mattson is a key researcher into this. Ketosis appears to have a neuroprotective action [3]

Decreased inflammation - chronic inflammation appears to be a cause of all sorts of problems, and fasting appears to decrease it.

[4] is a good general review

Liberal Arts Are the Future of the Tech Industry
Diet research is notoriously difficult. If you have a chance (and haven't alreadY) pick-up Gary Taubes book, "The Calorie Myth." Even if you don't agree with his conclusions he does a great job in explaining the difficulty of diet research. It's why he prefaces ideas in his books with "I could be completely wrong about all of this." It's hard to completely trust any given study in the area and why there is a ton of conflicting information out there.
> Tesla is worth more than GM for one reason: the potential to one day be more profitable than GM, namely that enough shareholders are buying into that premise.

Elon musk created a narrative that is building a completely different way of manufacturing and commercializing cars that differs greatly from historical car manufactures.

If you accept that, current economic models that are used to value other car manufactures can't be used to value Tesla.
I believe that Babel lacks custom infix operators whilst Sweet.js provides them.
This was mentioned on HN not too long ago: https://prolonfmd.com/ (fasting mimicking diet). If they'd ship to where I live I'd try it. Always happy to try new things that could potentially benefit.

My first side project: one hand picked song delivered to your inbox every day
Thanks for this, this is a topic I've been curious about for a long time, but never knew how to learn about it without diving into a textbook.

I'm reading through it now, and I'm confused by this statement: "Second, and more surprisingly, if you swap r_1 and r_2r, x_1 and x_2 also exchange places, seemingly contradicting Theorem 1!"

Why is there any connection to theorem 1 here? We're talking about a radical, and theorem 1 is concerned with rational expressions.

An rc-local generator is already present in systemd.

rc.local is a double backwards compatibility mechanism, superseded twice over on operating systems such as Ubuntu and Fedora, that is best forgotten about on systemd operating systems.

If one is going to all of the unnecessary effort of downloading an rc-local service unit from GitHub and installing it, one might as well just make a proper service unit tailored to whatever one wants, straight off the bat. Or download such a service unit from GitHub and install that instead.

I don't know about you but I don't have physical access to my cloud servers. I'm sure someone with the right badge and warrant does.
For exactly those sorts of reasons, I don't expect to apply such a system universally any time soon. In practice I suspect it will only make sense to employ it with a modest number of problematic domains. Currently I use uBlock with javascript defaulting to disabled, manage cookies and local storage, disable referrer headers, etc., but there are still some huge privacy leaks.

On the other hand, it might be possible to devise a solution that works generally but employs white lists or other exceptions for sites that need certain IP-address behavior. That would take a fair amount of effort, but the approach has worked well in similar contexts, such as ad blockers.

“Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” (1932)
Mate, I have no time for swerfs or "moral majority" puritans. They can all go die in a fire. But people in positions of power who knowingly allow child sex trafficking to go on on their site whilst taking every action to protect _themselves_ but not _the children_? I don't care how rarely they did it, it's like saying you only rarely murdered someone.

And yeah, escorts should be free to advertise their services on the internet and pretty much every law relating to consensual prostitution should just plain be ripped up. But I'm not going to shed a tear over Backpages.

Doesn’t anyone ever complain about “left wing zealots?” The Berkeley government is filled with them but publications such as the New Yorker rarely bat an eye.

Texas does have Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee who famously inquired about the flag on Mars the astronauts left as well as being the worst boss in Washington among congressional staffers – yet the New Yorker wrings their hands about “right wing zealots.”

Ignorance ought to be condemned regardless of political party.
do you think there will ever be enough? calorie restriction is just one, very vague detail about input for human body; macro distribution, amount of fiber, amount of water and many more are just glossed over. total weight or even breakdown by tissue type on the other hand is a very simplistic measure of the "output". blood glucose, white/brown fat distribution, hormonal balance, basal metabolic rate, blood pressure and many more - all depend from long-term diet choices.

it's like trying to train a nn by providing 95% random noise with input and not bothering to understand 95% of output.

seems like taking everything into account is just too expensive.
As a dev that moved into a sysadmin role who has to deploy stuff from our Java and C++ devs. As dev I used to like the language itself, but not the frameworks.

These days I seriously dislike the runtime with all it's tuning it requires, memory bloat, ... The absolute worst however is most Java developer's complete disconnect with and ignorance of the actual deployment environment/target. I actually kept a score-count for a while for "the server is not configured correctly, it works on my laptop" actually being true and not a developer error. Was asked to remove the sign though since 'it didn't improve the working atmosphere'.

A few pointers for Java devs: please don't use hard-coded paths, certainly when you develop on windows and I need to deploy it on a *nix system, Java will not automagically fix that because it's supposed to be 'multi-platform'. No, XML files are not 'easy' or 'practical' to configure stuff, and I certainly don't want to use java cli tools to manipulate them. Oh and don't rewrite your base config files when some misc hardly documented API was used to deploy some application in your web framework. I don't like it that it removes every single comment from that file, and my config management has to do a lot of hacky ugly stuff so it doesn't treat that as a config change from it's pov. Also, I don't 'just' want to use java library org.X.Y to talk to that hardly documented deployment API. No the database isn't slow because it's misconfigured or doesn't have enough resources, it's because some framework you use to access the database generates a monstrous 30-page SQL query with a few hundred JOINS. Oh and please stop using SOAP when you expect me to talk to it.

I can keep on going - this goes on for a while, and that's only partially the language's fault - but sadly, the stdlib and community encourages some of that undesired behavior. You can however write pretty clean and nice stuff when avoiding large enterpricy frameworks with all the FactoryFactoryFactoryFactoryFactoryFactories where XML is king, but in reality, most Java projects end up using them.
Not really. Go also encourages short, concise names, and it seems to work pretty well... or at least not be causing significant headaches so far as I can tell.

Why would one be forgetting and grepping for tmp? That's the kind of variable that would be inside a function (so max one or two screenfuls, according to the guidelines here), and more realistically would usually be declared and used entirely within the same block of a dozen or so lines of code. Nobody is going to forget whether it is temp or temp while reading those 12 lines of code. And using temporary is just silly -- I can't think of a single time I've ever seen that used in any language.
Advocating 'fairness' is easy but living it is different.

How many white people should give up opportunities because of this injustice? Not all of them, surely, but just certain ones...which ones? Who decides? What's the criteria? Which opportunities should they give up?

What about blacks in professional sports...they're overrepresented in basketball and football. Should they give up their opportunities in professional sports to help get a more 'fair' number of whites and asians in to the leagues? Who decides what's 'fair' here? Etc.

Let's make this personal. I went to a good college and got a good job because my parents' values and socioeconomic situation allowed me to.

Should I have given up my seat at university, or offered my job to another person who wasn't as fortunate as me?

Before you say yes, ask yourself if you would have done that. And regardless of what you say (or what I say) saying you/I would have done something is very different from actually doing it.

Recognizing systemic injustice and working to remove it is very different from demanding people change the way they act, when that demand is not something we would ever actually accept ourselves.
I thought it was the EPA, not the FDA, that regulated pesticides in the US. I have no recollection of reports of either the FDA malfeasance you claim nor of any reports of widespread re-import of domestic bee colonies. In fact, I had thought that importation of such colonies was pretty tightly regulated due to pathogen and parasite concerns. In other words: citation needed.

You should run `git blame` on the file in the Linux repo.

> "“I called Backpage dozens of times asking them to take down those photos, that my daughter was just a child and that what had been done to her was a crime,” says Kubiiki. “They refused and said if I didn’t pay for it, they couldn’t take it down. In the end they just stopped returning my calls.”"

I know. This is where it goes to almost cartoonish villainy.

I'm honestly bewildered how this even happens. This must have escalated up the support levels and involved several people, and one individual listing that isn't even applicable anymore can't be a huge revenue source for them. Even assuming that it's a company led by amoral psychopaths, why push back for so little gain? how did nobody in the chain of information say "what the hell are we doing"?
"Listing the actions" is also known as reporting. It's a style of journalism — devoid of emotional editorialising and outright fabrication — that remains popular amongst at least some of us liberals.

Yea, "piled higher and deeper", indeed.

Unwarranted speculation and generalizations purely for the entertainment of those who enjoy a good mind boggle. You'd be wasting your time if you expected to gain any solid insight from the article.

Space and time are what keep everything from happening at the same time in the same place. The infinitesimal bundles of energy that make up objective reality are vastly separated in spacetime. Why is that?
Not really astronomical. If you're just XORing your message with a pad, they can trivially flip bits by position. There are a lot of things an attacker can do with that, especially if they have some idea what you're sending.

I think I see the problem...
Because within the context of copyright law, current legal practice recognizes "contributory infringement." That aiding and abetting felonies, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, and so on, is not a part of their current charges is likely a lack of evidence necessary within the completely separate set of legalities under which they're being prosecuted and sued.
But do any of these languages have functionality that enforces that only fields/methods that are defined are accessed? Do they enforce any apsect, of what might be called the (data) scheme?
The paper can be freely accessed at NBER (http://www.nber.org/papers/w23552). There's no need to pay anything.

Anyway, it's not really a presumptions question. Or at least, it wasn't supposed to be: the fact that people are doing something doesn't imply anything about what they should do, and neither does describing their choices imply anything about either the socially preferred set of choices or the authors' preferred set of choices. So if young men were putting in less work hours so they could stay at home and play video games, that would be nobody else's business.

But the issue is that that doesn't to be the case, and the authors made no effort of trying to tackle alternative explanations. When I read an economics article, I expect that even if the authors won't try to address alternative explanations, they will at least acknowledge they exist. After skimming the article, that doesn't to have happened at all.

Don't know how the authors want me to believe that video games are to blame for the lower working hours of young males when they followed closely the working hours of older males up until 2008, either. Are they gonna pin it all on Halo 3?
TINTAURA PLANTA MEDICINALA
They do, there is a lot of complaining, however considering the mainstream media has a left-leaning bent, if not outright preference, there may be a reluctance to eat their own. So to speak. Thus the only time you hear about “left wing zealots” is from right-leaning media, of which there really isn't a strong, mainstream presence. Fox news did this for a long time but they've lost a lot of their shine and power.

It remains to be seen whether Tesla will be able to sustain the success in cars. I'm more optimistic in the rocket business as the competition is limited. The automobile business is complex and scaling out their operation is going to be hard. Tesla's competitors have scale, suppliers who also invest and broad customer brand acceptance. They also have woken up.

China will soon provide battery capacity for cars in excess of what Tesla is producing. Autonomous driving on a broad basis requires a regulatory framework and that may well take time to emerge until there are other brands. The horizontal structure of the conventional car industry makes it likely that alternatives to Teslas autonomous drive will quickly spread across the traditional car companies.

Tesla may well build the best electric car for a long while but volume upside may be limited.

> Your reasoning about 20-80 doesn't hold. If, say, 20% people are violent and 80% aren't, does that mean you're 80% safe from violence? Of course not.

You might want to read your initial comment one more time then, my observation was related to your statistic about anti-capitalist 'opinions', but now you seem to have switched to 'violence'. The point I am making is that debating ideas is important and having a constructive critic of capitalism is necessary, that's why I have no problem with your statistic. Unless 20% of the population is ready to take up arms to install the dictatorship of proletariat, but I am sure you know this isn't the case.

> This is why it's called extremism: They are not tolerant with other points of view

Unlike you, who couldn't possibly be suspect of intolerance to other view points as demonstrated by your rhetoric.

> Anyway. You don't have to understand the problem for that problem to exist. Look at the other comments, there's enough testimonials of the same thing to attest that it exists. It's just that you belong to the group of people who deny it, downplay the problem, or attempt to show 'it's ok because others are doing worse', which doesn't help solving the problem.

You realize I quoted one line about statistics, and commented it, don't you?

In case you are curious, and since you have taken the freedom to cluster me in a group already, and seemingly know what my opinion is on your brilliant diagnostic of the problems of France:

Having lived on both sides of the Atlantic, I'm fully aware that certain aspects of France, administrative or cultural, don't exactly make it the perfect place to create a business, that said, I'm not an entrepreneur myself and there are certainly a ton of other positive aspects that should not be overlooked. As for the rest of your depiction of France as the ultimate entrepreneurial hell, it's a bit too excessive to be significant.
Code Running on Ionized Particles, or WTF Is Serverless
I fasted for the first time after seeing some research on the benefits. Once I realized it's safe I figured, why not try and see how it affects me. I noticed a definite improvement in stress over the week following and now I try to fast once every 3 weeks if it fits into my schedule. Everyone reacts so differently to different diets I've found the most benefit from trying whatever I can and being mindful about the changes. We've become a little too obsessed with the one fits all approach to health.(e.x. Soylent) There is benefit to finding general guidelines through research, but a little self experimentation goes a long way.
The absence of proof is not the proof of absence. Also, did I not mention "longshot theory"?

I was diagnosed with prediabetes and hepatic steatosis 8 months ago. As per my doctor's recomendation, I followed by 3 months a ketogenic diet combined to a time restricted kind of intermittent fasting, which basically means that I started to skip breakfast. My glycose and insulin levels normalized and the liver fat went away.

I can't pinpoint which factor contributed the most, but I continue to do intermittent fasting skipping breakfasts. When I feel like it, I try to fast for 24h, usually 2 to 3 times a month. It really isn't that difficult, it just takes discipline and focus.

Regarding your advice, I'd like to add just a point: drink more water, true, but also try to increase your salt intake. It seems to make a lot of difference in the beginning, alleviating possible side effects.
Backpage actions look bad and it may very well be that they deserve a serious fine or prison time for the management.
