It's probably genetic. Some people can eat a high carb diet and feel fine, and not suffer the metabolic damage that others would. But that's definitely a minority of the world population. The Okinawans seem to eat a lot of a certain type of purple sweet potato which contains a good balance of vitamins and minerals, but they also have a strong social element - elders are highly respected and given responsibilities that keep them focused - and naturally they exercise a lot due to the terrain, so it's not just the food.

>This involved taking covert control of Hansa under Dutch judicial authority a month ago, which allowed Dutch police to monitor the activity of users without their knowledge, and then shutting down AlphaBay during the same period. It meant the Dutch police could identify and disrupt the regular criminal activity on Hansa but then also sweep up all those new users displaced from AlphaBay who were looking for a new trading platform. In fact they flocked to Hansa in their droves, with an eight-fold increase in the number of new members of Hansa recorded immediately following the shutdown of AlphaBay.

Ah, thank you for clearing that up.
I just thought it was really funny, here's a web demo https://xori.github.io/gamblers-dice/
Why not just remove all the carbs from your diet and exercise every once in a while instead of monitoring your crap (pork rinds, slim jims, bacon, etc) intake every day :P

I remember going to work in the small Madrid office of a private large bank in 20 or so years ago.

Being keen, I turned up at 8.30am and then waited for an hour for someone to arrive. The office was then closed and everyone turfed out from 12pm-2pm, but the working day didn't finish until around 7pm.
Not me. I actually got locked into my existing plan through a recent add-a-line-for-free promotion. The gotcha there being that if/when you change your plan, the free line stops being free. For the moment my current plan is still the best fit for my needs, but that's likely to change sooner or later, and now I have this additional barrier to consider when contemplating switching it up.
Alert users that the market is compromised.

An example, an admin could have a personal password that is used to update a secure hash of "last known time the market was not compromised". The users can use the public key to verify the markers. Every day or two, the admin updates that marker using the private key (password). A few days after they're arrested, they won't have updated it, the users will know something is up.

AFAICT (and if there is someone properly versed in the biological sciences here I will gladly defer to them) at least part of the experience of hangover nastiness is down to the formation of aldehydes (particularly acetaldehyde * ) by the action of alcohol dehydrogenase on ethanol. Tertiary alcohols such as tert-Amyl Alcohol don't get acted on by this enzyme.

I'm not for a second denying dehydration, lack of sleep, side effects of ethanol itself etc etc and many other factors are likely to play a part.

( * I said formaldehyde, looks like I was wrong about that on a quick search, it's acetaldehyde)

-- edit -- The wikipedia page on it is quite interesting, particularly the relation of acetaldehyde to the enzyme differences in people with a specific genetic change (usually of east asian descent) and their ability to consume alcohol... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hangover#Acetaldehyde

I think this is a great point.

Yes to the first three, but my salary will also be 10 years better as will my Spouse's. Low 6 figures combined or better (our target for 10 years) is more than enough for a family and massive savings per year unless you decide to buy a mansion or live in SanFran. Certainly enough to bootstrap something.

The state of my back is thankfully entirely within my control. I stay fit, and that includes keeping my back strong and loose, as well as investing in a good chair and monitor stands (considering a standing desk). I have no desire to walk into work with my head practically below my shoulders like some of my older co-workers.

As for business opportunities, I see no reason why there should be fewer in 10 years. Different sure, but likely just as many. There are still plenty of areas of growth in technology, no reason to think they'll be dwindling in 10 years.

Younger single people do have some advantages. They can undercut experienced professionals on salary and can move at the drop of a hat. Which is why if/when I start a business I won't be competing with 20-somethings on writing CRUD apps. :)

Dr. Harch is published and well respected. He also has many documented cases of saving divers lives - including working with the US Navy. Could this be just a case of the medical community not accepting a new technique? In March 2000, the American Board of Medical Specialties approved undersea and hyperbaric medicine [1]. He has a legit cv: http://www.hbot.com/about. Some of this publications:

Yeah - but when you look at most people's diet, it mostly consists of all that crap. Even the "healthy" stuff (think Naked juice, etc) is packed with sugar & simple carbs.
One of the things I find hardest with redux is to make reusable components (across projects), as they have to be added to the state tree somewhere, and then connected. With nested components you may get implicit dependencies on where in the tree it should be. All this makes it very cumbersome.

So even though most of our apps use Redux, the reusable parts use setState as they then can be completely independent.
Hehe, lol. True. You'd probably find a bit more info on some of the forums dedicated to "legal highs" from a few years back, and maybe on bluelight. I don't think it ever became popular.

I wouldn't say hostile, more skeptical. I think bitcoin and some altcoins (siacoin and ethereum in particular) are really cool technology. But I don't have faith in cryptocurrency as anything more than a digital remittance system with side applications in money laundering, the drug trade, etc. And as of right now I have yet to be proven wrong about this. Bitcoin in its current state won't be able to replace normal transactions due to fee and speed issues.

I've also seen a shifting of goalposts within the bitcoin community from the utility of bitcoin being a censorship-free digital currency to a digital store of value. Personally I am not at all interested in the concept of "digital gold" because there's nothing inherent about bitcoin that makes it better digital gold than other altcoins.

Of course, there's also the fact that new altcoins seem to constantly be improving on each other. This is good in general, but as a side effect it makes comitting to one single coin seem like a short-sighted move.

That said, I would love for a cryptocurrency to be able to scale to the point that it becomes a viable part of the global economy. It would be amazing for privacy and anti-authoritarianism. At present, bitcoin cannot scale to this level, though.

Bad habits, arguably. Been using JS for years so occasionally instances where a more vigilant self would use "let" still get "var" instead. I think part of this is because of issues with previous versions of v8/node where using let at the global level or without 'use strict' threw errors.

That being said, "const" is already hardwired.
"Verbal government approval" sounds like bullshit. There have to be at least a dozen different governments that would need to be involved in a project like this: the federal government, DC, Maryland, Pennsylvania, NY state and a bunch of local governments.

A new research avenue being explored in the etiology of dementia is altered permeability in the blood brain barrier (BBB) too. High blood pressure [0], and some other maladies listed in the study, are linked to changes in the BBB. This may be important, as some new research shows that some dementia may be immunological in nature.

This is all pretty new science though. Back when I went to school in the early 2000s instructors didn't even teach that the BBB permeability could change.

That is rather rude. Your single data point (if we are to be generous and call it data) doesn't change the fact that an overwhelming majority, heck probably 99.9% of humans that ever lived included various sources of carbs in their diets (save famine and other such events), and our bodies have evolved to support such diets. We're here because our ancestors ate carbs. The long term effects of ketogenic diets OTOH are poorly understood. You should make it clear that you're pushing a position based on your opinion, not scientific consensus.
I thought that was the entire point (though it is possible that I misunderstood myself): that the transaction identifier is formed by taking a hash of the entire transaction and the signature (which, of course, could not have been signed); if anything in the data being signed were modified then this would be a very different issue, so the only options for malleability are the signature and any structure connecting the signature to the data.
Yep, absolutely. See the Redux FAQ entry on "connecting multiple components" for more info [0] . I also discussed how connecting more components affects performance in my blog post "Practical Redux, Part 6 - Connected Lists, Forms, and Performance" [1], and there's many additional articles that discuss connected components and performance concerns as well [2].

I am a neurosurgeon, and am also skeptical. Here are some thoughts after looking at the actual paper in Med Gas Research.

First, after looking at the MRI, I see more evidence of cerebral edema than of infarction. The MRI sequence that would show the actual infarction, DWI is presented, but as a 3d volume(which I have never seen done before with DWI) and does not show the thalami where most of the FLAIR hyperintensity is.

Second, Unlike what the article would have you think, there is not massive cortical infarction. In fact the cortex looks not too bad. The main lesions appear to be bilateral thalamic edema. Note that thalamic dysfunction can present with severe neurological deficits often mimicking massive cortical dysfunction.

Third, measuring volumes in an MRI that is not taken at 1mm slices can be problematic. Thus where the authors talk about volume differences may just be slice variations between scans.

Fourth, I would have expected something this groundbreaking to be in NEJM, JAMA, BMJ, Lancet, Stroke, or Neurology. Medical Gas Research is a very obscure journal.

Fifth, Paul Harch is way outside the medical mainstream. During the Terry Schiavo case in Florida he was one of the people arguing that she was not in a permanent persistent vegetative state. It seems like he pushes hyperbaric oxygen to treat a host of brain disorders such as cerebral palsy, autism, stroke, traumatic brain injury. There is very little actual scientific studies backing up these assertions.

So overall, I am very skeptical about this article. In addition, usually when groundbreaking science is presented by the press, you often have an expert in the field who was not involved with the study, talk about methodology, background, and implications. This article did not do so, making it all the more suspect. I think, ultimately this is another Newsweek poorly researched click bait article.

you could also just have a ton of below average coworkers so your mediocrity is still amazing. This is what happens in highschool sports.

Thailand is _very recently_ a much more wealthy country than it was even twenty years ago.

There is a large number of ways that one can turn an exclusionary diet into an unhealthy diet - by what you choose to include.

Yes, and it's possibly the best time to start! "Mommy and Me" swim class when I was 18 months old meant that I learned to swim before conscious memory - I don't remember not knowing how to swim.

My mom was a great parent and wonderful overall, but that was a particularly excellent decision of hers. She was still careful with my little brother and me around water - we were enrolled in Red Cross swim classes during the summers in elementary school, and always had lifejackets on at the lake. Despite being terrible at pretty much all sports (unlike my athletically-gifted brother), I was always a decent swimmer.
I'm of the opinion that you should express your intent as clearly as possible and let the optimizer handle making your code fast. It should be rare that writing "dense" code actually gives you performance wins.
