I believe that much of the difference between Comcast and GM are because of number of customers who are revenue generators and the barriers to competition that Comcast would have compared with GM. While there might be many loyal GM purchasers, (I don't know that metric), Comcast does have competition for cable TV (e.g., many who are "cutting the cord") but not so much as an Internet provider, AFAIK.

GM's high revenue/profit vehicles require a lot of gas compared with the lower revenue/profit vehicles and thus the projected cost of gasoline probably is part of the GM valuation. For now, and for the future, thanks to fracking and (relatively) low demand from China, it appears as if GM should be having increased profits.

Regarding, Tesla's valuation, there must be some metric for customer acquisition.

Others have noted Feynman, Ramanujan. Walter Pitts is another one, who had a very rough childhood with poor, working class parents.
There was a article a couple months back about fasting (3 days) and how it triggers a reboot of the immune system.

I think if you stop looking at calorie restriction as restriction, and instead consider it normal (i.e., the ideal the body prefers) then the current normal is essential over-eating.

That that a step further and consider such excess unnecessary stress on the body and it's various subsystems, things fall into place.

Factor in the various chemicals in today's food and it's not crazy to think we're eating ourselves ill - both from quantity and (lack of) quality (i.e., chemicals).

Pardon the editorial, but God only knows what GMOs do, to the body and the gut, under these circumstances.
The only thing I can tell you that I have in common with the average Georgian or Texan is that we probably both speak English, enjoy hot dogs, and watching Football and Baseball. That's not much of a strong reason for us to both be in a strong political, economic and militaristic union.

You're right, those aren't strong reasons at all because they're entirely self-centered. Here's a hint -- our union wasn't founded and littered with blood and bodies on the basis of trying to make sure everyone had the highest possible match percentage on eHarmony.
A good point.

RE that tweet, I assume the values there are in milliseconds. I hate it when people don't label their axes.
The funny thing is that that Guardian article page is probably less then 10Kb in content to begin with. It's all the cruft on the page that makes it large, and AMP is also cruft, just less of it.
You're correct: Wired has hyped the original title of the article in Quanta Magazine: "A Path Less Taken to the Peak of the Math World". Any time you see the words "Math Genius" you should assume hyperbole.

If you like this kind of story, I highly recommend putting Quanta (https://www.quantamagazine.org/) on your radar and avoiding most of the tabloid-science articles in Wired.
> maybe it's placebo but I recognize a stronger ability to focus when I'm in the midst of a fasting period

I vaguely recall a recent study that covered this. I believe the theory is that when we're hungry our brains become more focused to aide in our ability to find food. After we've eaten there's not much need to think.

To the greater arguments regarding intermittent fasting: I hate to call on the historical human argument, because it's often abused (e.g. for the raw food diet, paleo diet, etc), but in this case I think it applies because until very, very recently the vast majority of humans spent most of their lives hungry. Hell, we still have parts of our world today where people starve to death (not because of lack of food production, by the way; it's a political issue). It's no surprise, then, that not only can we go without food just fine, but a significant portion of our behaviors and adaptations are built around intermittent fasting.

That isn't to say that intermittent fasting is maximally optimal. It may just be more optimal then how most Americans eat (large meals 3+ times a day, occasional snacks and a sugary beverage throughout the day).

I think the biggest issue we face today is our food culture, particularly in Western societies. Food is the center of every occasion. In Latin derived families you see the habit of constantly forcing food on guests, and both Latin and Southern European cultures are big on forcing their children to eat until their plate is empty.

This made a lot of sense when food and calories wasn't abundant, and there has likely been a lot of selective pressures on those cultures over our recent history. But food is plentiful now. Whereas in the past when forcing children to eat every last speck meant them barely getting enough to eat; today forcing children to eat, eat, eat means making them fat.

Unfortunately I don't think the same selective pressures will work. Being overweight isn't going to stop you from raising a family. So our only two real solutions are to either forcefully change our cultures so that dieting, whatever the diet may be, is the cultural norm, or we apply science to develop foods with lower caloric densities. The latter is, unfortunately, demonized for some godforsaken reason (e.g. artificial sweeteners).

Sorry, but I strongly disagree.

I can think of two very strong reasons to prefer awk over perl:

* busybox implements awk, so its (usually) available even on embedded platforms

* awk syntax is way clearer than perl, anyone that has a few experience in C + shell can figure out what is being done with some googling

awk is also powerful enough to separate output to different files, accumulate inputs, etc. And if you need anything more complex, there are tons of other languages to choose from then (including perl).

Do you find any sneering in this New Yorker piece?

I think exposure has a lot to do with it along with aptitude.

I noticed that too but my parents weren't talented in an intellectual sense. In fact, they were fairly ordinary and one was a high school drop out. I was brought up believing that science is for eggheads and worse people who spent too much time studying were socially inept and justly shunned.

Fast forward a few years. I went to university in my mid twenties and study computer science and take as many hard, ball-busting science classes I could. I noticed that a lot of the people there had already had patents who had careers in science, particularly physicians and engineers. I'd say that's very important to grow up with mentors and resources to teach you how to learn in the first place (my life has improved by orders of magnitude since I learned how to grok). Almost everyone I know who performed well in these classes put in more time studying and they struggled just as much as anyone else.

Genetics plays a role in success in science and math but socialization also plays a profound role. Maybe I just have an axe to grind but the myth of science and math being reserved for rarified genius over the curious and dedicated does a lot more harm then good.

You're absolutely right; Babel's parser is very much hand-coded, and adding syntax requires deep knowledge of the internals. Not impossible, but not for the faint of heart. My dreams of having the safe navigation operator from Coffeescript (a?.b?.c) must yet remain unfulfilled...

5-6 days a week I eat twice a day. 1-2 days I fast. I normally don't eat breakfast. I go to the gym at least once a week, but normally not more than 2 times. I don't do cardio, I only lift weights. Blood tests etc are all in the normal ranges, no major (or minor) health problems. I don't have any good advice for maintaining weight since I'm on the opposite side of the spectrum. :( I lost a little more than 10% of my weight over 6 months; for my height my weight is average.

They inject a carousel, push the organics down.

Why do we always have to talk about the carousel? It is only relevant for news/trending topics. For that the whole "organics" are upended regardless.

Is it a coincidence that all of that drives more pageviews of Google's site?

I really, really don't think Google cares about "pageviews". But yes, it may make users think "these results are quick and convenient, so maybe I won't use Facebook as much for trending topics".
Yeah, it's essentially "People who want fewer brown people should not be called racist, bigoted etc. because wanting a permanent white majority is a respectable position to have"

It's a position people have, and I don't like to use labels myself, but I see no reason for worrying about changes in the ethnic distribution of a population aside from deep seated biases.

Basically my experience as well. I check it out every couple of years for nostalgia sake. It really is fairly feature complete for a BeOS clone. The problem is (besides the lack of a modern web browser for it) is that what was amazing about BeOS 20+ years ago is pretty much what is expected by any OS these days.

I agree with most of what you said but the jury is still out on GMOs. GMOs are not just one thing either. Some may prove to be bad for us and others beneficial. The biggest problem with the anti-GMO campaign is that it's driving force is a general distrust of science rather than facts.

How blind can you be not to understand how evil this request is to your users? And you request this because... because you don't want to `sed 's|gulp |node_modules/.bin/gulp|g' Makefile` ?

Similarly, too hard to check npm's version in Makefile, and run or not run `linklocal` yourselves?

The problems go way beyond Trump. I'm not his biggest fan by any means, but the hysteria that surrounds Trump weakens the effectiveness of the resistance against the current US administration. The last US President to not pull a series of dick moves was probably Jimmy Carter, Trump is just less adept at hiding it than his predecessors.

Bashing Trump isn't going to work for getting lasting change. A lot of people are tired of the politics of fear. If you want to engage with the masses, look for positive practical non-partisan action that works at the grassroots level. Avoiding getting sucked into the national media circus that constitutes modern political coverage is generally a good idea. Please focus on local change first.

AFAIK the problem lies with GCC breaking the ABI. Haiku tries to solve the issue by building the userspace APIs with multiple GCC versions to preserve the ABI for older apps. I do not think this is a good idea in long term though since you need to keep older GCC versions around to provide backwards compatibility and make sure your C++ code compiles with all GCC versions from 2 to whatever is the latest one.

A better solution would be for GCC to provide means for working with binaries and libraries produced with older versions of the C++ compiler, ideally including 2.

Perhaps a more realistic solution would be to create "proxy" libraries for the previous GCC versions that all they do is to redirect the calls to the latest version.
Sure, but is it a 5USD/month DO instance or a 640USD/month one?
>then the current normal is essential over-eating.

It definitely is, but it's very insidious, because it doesn't /look/ like overeating. One of the things I've learned from following calorie restriction diets is that most of the food we eat is crazily calorie-dense.

You can get 30% of your entire required daily calorie intake from a salami and cheese sandwich. Now, some of that is the pepperoni and some is the sauce, but a huge amount of it is just the single slice of bread. In case you're wording, 1 slice of bread is about 5% of your daily required intake, which makes a sandwich 10% before you even talk about fillings.

If governments really want to reduce obesity in the west, they need to pass laws aimed at getting food with low calorie counts on the shelves. You can certainly make food with low calorie counts yourself, but who has the time? To make a difference, that shit needs to be as easy, cheap and available to buy as a microwavable lasagna (~40% of your daily calorie requirements). 90% of my problems with dieting are the mental stress of having to hand-calculate calories constantly and dive deep into the recesses of supermarkets to find things I can fit into the diet.

Use Tor Browser even if your not using Tor if you're looking for better privacy. It's modified to mitigate as much as possible. Facebook is just bad. Avoid it at all costs if you value privacy. And it's not just facebook. Sites like facebook, google, etc also use several 3rd party "advertising" (i.e. data gathering) companies to gather data and build profiles on users and share that data with each other. Even on your regular use browser I would highly recommend uBlock Origin and Privacy Badger.

Very low-end devices still have an outrageous amount of memory and storage compared to the scopes we're talking about. In the actual anecdotes of people in India expressing their good user experience with AMP, actual results seem to differ.

But as a North American with a GS8 and a very fast LTE connection, I still love getting AMP results. Just confining to best practices is alone worth it.
our traffic levels (as 85% of all sites) are low enough where the experience is significantly better to self-host without involving third party HTTPS connections or dependencies.

Agreed. Food is for nutrition. Instead we've made it into some sort of proxy for an orgasm. Yet ask people what they ate yesterday and they're likely unable to tell you. Point being, they we're so determined to eat something that "made them feel good" that they already forgot. So instead they should have ate for their body, not their mind.

Pardon me, but I really think there's some truth to "fat and stupid."

The part you chose to quote was from a small part of a very long article on Texas crackpots. So, no, the author did not go in to depth as to the reasons for or implications of this demographic change. That's not what the article was about.
