A good place to start is to remove "junk" from your diet. In the past, chocolate/candy etc was considered a treat and we should all go back to thinking that way.

Next up is hydration. If you are dehydrated, evenly slightly, it is easy to think you are hungry.

I also echo the views of those saying that sugar is worse than fat. Very refined carbs, such as white bread, are terrible due to the speed at which you metabolise it. Look into the GI of various foods and you may be surprised.

When you do have a meal, consider timing. The old saying "Breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and have a paupers dinner" is apt.

Also eat plenty of low carb, bulky foods such as onions, carrots, mushrooms etc. This will fill you up for longer, as well as giving numerous health benefits
Interesting that most people (as of the time of this comment anyway) have picked the 12:00am - 1:59am range. I'd be curious to know at what time most people here start work.
Any idea which browsers their root certificate is in? They don't seem to say in their faq.
What if you could launch a school, instead?

This is probably my favorite problem. I think about it every day. It started a few years ago when it really began to dawn on me that almost every single sociological problem that a society develops can be traced back to errors in its educational system. I began to imagine -- as realistically as possible -- just what kind of societies might develop based on different kinds of educational systems.

There's a neat sub-problem though that you allude to: since we assume that education feeds into sociological tendencies which feed back into education, how can you dramatically alter the direction of an education system once it has been moving in a particular way for several decades?

I think the answer is best exemplified in games of strategy, like Go. In general, any time you're faced with an overwhelmingly powerful opponent, you try to find a niche they don't care about, you establish a small, self-supporting base in that niche, and then you grow it as quietly as possible for as long as possible. So, for example, if you tried to attack the current education system head-on, in the form of essays or books or school boards or legislation, you will probably fail. But, what if:

1. You start with one or two after-school, extracurricular activities;

2. You develop some rigorous, detailed, well-thought-out goals and methods for teaching them;

3. You slowly add on more programs;

4. You centralize them into a single facility;

5. You begin to offer a not-worthless certificate at the successful end of each program thanks to (2).

Well, now you've just gone and launched something which can push against the current educational system a little bit. If you make this successful, you can begin to -- a little tiny bit at a time -- publicly ask questions like, "Why don't public schools have programs like this?"

It may be slow, but after spending a lot of brain time considering a large number of various ways of changing an educational system, this is the approach that I think has the best chances of success.

I've been putting a lot of energy recently into growing my business, so that I can finance a small store in the next 9 months or so, so that I can have an appropriate space to offer a fun, basic mechatronics program next Summer, which is my step #1.
Facebook's employees have stock options, have they not? And Ceglia is not without his own tricks.

(None of the above should be misconstrued as liking Facebook or Zuckerberg; I'd be pretty happy to see the privacy nightmare that is Facebook disappear, even if some more-or-less innocent people lost money. I just don't think dislike of Zuckerberg alone is enough reason.)
I think what makes food so difficult for hackers, in general, is having to think about it all the time. We hate anything that constantly demands our attention and isn't a core interest. Such things will always seem impossibly difficult and ultimately be neglected.

Thus, the general strategy is to form mindless habits that are healthy. Supplements are made for this kind of habitual consumption. They are simple to prepare, come in bulk, and are so boring that after a while, you don't even think of them as food; but you do crave them every day due to the healthy feedback loop.

In your case, you probably want some kind of meal replacement shake that gives your body whatever it is craving with maximal collateral healthiness. I don't know what that is though, so you'll have to turn to science.

IMHO exercising more is always going to be easier than eating less, and the trick to that is the same: form monotonous habits. Repetition, obsession, and ultimately sweet oblivion.

my diet is basically corn tortilla+black beans+chicken\salmon\eggs+lettuce\avocado\tomato. DIY mexican is the most efficient thing I've come up in terms of cost, time, health, & taste. I add lime, cumin, and red pepper for more flavor.

If you have sugar cravings just eat fruit instead, mangos kiwis or clementines are the best IMO. Any other effects junk food has besides a blood sugar spike is simply a psychological association you automatically retrain over time.
I just got mine. It actually does from any anywhere, as long as it's unlocked. Very handy. Only thing handier would be if it worked while the phone was locked.

I think when lawyers are involved, theres always a danger of optimising for the worst possible situation, which takes up a lot of time and effort, and often doesn't leave you, your customers or your business in a better situation.

In any case, no matter your final decisions, it's always prudent to be aware of the worst case scenario.

To what degree is it alright to 'peacock' your business and appear bigger than you are, if (a) you're absolutely certain you can cover the client requirements, and (b) the client is choosing between you, and a few other solutions/providers?

Out of interest, did this company do something bad to you? Was the service unacceptable, and did you previously have a good working relationship with them?

I meant to actually put exactly that in my note - there is no reason why if one of you is particularly interested in and seems adept at the business side of things that you cannot cover it yourself. Just think through how it will change your dev velocity, and make sure the person enjoys the role, because you always do a better job when you are having fun :)

Talk to the guys at http://spreedly.com/ to see if that's something they could add. It's probably easier for them to add that functionality than it would be for you to write it.

That said, it really shouldn't be too hard to write something like that. Payment processing is one thing, invoicing is another, and you want to automate the invoice and processing after each step is done separately (at least, that's how I'd think about it).

With that said, you may run in to some compliance issues storing the CCs on your side for later processing. It's certainly not impossible, but may have a few more hoops to jump through.

You may also want to talk to a major bank. As difficult as it sounds like it might be at first, I managed to get a hold of someone and started talking about various options I wanted to do, and kept getting told 'we can do that', as in, putting together different plans with various rate fees and such. It all costs different amounts, but it's likely possible a major bank's merchant account arm might be able to what you're looking to do. They just don't advertise those sorts of nuanced variations, mostly because it would confuse the heck out of the majority of the market. It would be helpful if they'd say 'contact us for a custom package', but maybe not. Most of the first-level support/service people you get connected to aren't typically able to think outside the 4 provided checkboxes.

Good luck.

It's unethical if you're doing it purely for personal gain.

If you're unable to hire a person to do this for you, having some distance from clients about sensitive financial matters can be beneficial for both you and the client.

It's a decision you need to make though - are you comfortable with this level of 'deception' if it's conducive to better relationships with your clients?

If so, go ahead.

If not, ideally hire someone else, or do it all yourself.

I was fortunate in that I could support an accounts person very soon after I started my business, but I think this strategy is akin to "No, you look great in those jeans", a statement that also benefits both parties. :)
A simple tip: add fresh locally grown veggies to processed foods. For example, before making a can of soup or some HN-friendly Ramen noodles, chop up and cook veggies for a few minutes in very little water and then add the soup or noodles. Same with heating up a frozen dinner.

In my personal experience, when I go for long periods eating lots of healthy food, it is easy to fight off any cravings for crap-foods. Then if I am traveling and not eating so well, I find myself buying a occasional candy bar, etc.
Hmmm, where to start:

- Switch out junk food for healthier snacks (dark chocolate, nuts, (dried) fruit). Over time your tolerance for junk food will go down and you will want less of it;

- If you really want a hit of junk food, just have it. There is no point dwelling on it. I will have one piece of sugary food with my coffee at around 10:00, which keeps me satisfied. Sometimes I binge out after not having a lot for so long (months), but when your tolerance for processed food goes down you will stop much sooner (through a mixture of guilt and physiological repulsion);

- If you want sugar, eat 'good' sugar, i.e. fruit;

- Have a bowl of healthy nibbles lying around to munch on when walking past. I always have grapes and nuts in the kitchen that I pick at;

- Always eat breakfast. I have mine as soon as wake-up;

- Cook your own meals and don't eat processed food;

- Drink water rather than carbonated drinks;

- Eat smaller meals more often. I try to eat something every three hours;

- Follow the Japanese (I think) philosophy of eating until only 80% full, not bursting at the seams. For me the ideal amount of food is a cereal bowl worth of food;

- Have a drink about 30 - 60 mins after you have eaten, not during a meal. This helps to top-up the fullness feeling and also allows food to be digested more efficiently before the digestive enzymes get diluted by a drink;

- Don't try and justify eating rubbish by doing exercise. You are what you eat.

The end result is that people always tell me I am too skinny even though I eat a lot. I don't need to do that much exercise because my diet is good. When I do go out for dinner and/or drinks I can indulge without guilt.
Instead, I'm going to simply make the argument that wealth
over $200 million is meaningless to a single person.

The problem with this argument is that in hinges on your view of what constitutes 'meaninglessness'. Although the money is legally his, the single person may feel the money is not 'his', but belongs to him, his family, his friends and all their offspring. To all those people combined, a share of the $200 million is not meaningless and a cap at $200 million would be a disincentive.

I find herbal teas helpful in reducing my craving for sweets. A homemade herbal iced tea (something with berries so it's somewhat sweet) is a good alternative to water all the time too.
I spend more time thinking about the approach to the problem then churning out code.

Take this example http://thedailywtf.com/Articles/Maximum-Pad.aspx

Either churning out over 300 lines of code or using a "for loop" solves the problem, but which approach is better? Sitting down to think about the for-loop or copy-paste-replace the code?
I replaced ice cream with soy smoothies. Frozen fruit, vanilla soy milk, vanilla yogurt, and vanilla bean paste. I put all of the ingredients in a large glass and mix them with a hand blender. Easy to make and clean. The bean paste makes it taste more like an ice cream shake. I also combine peanut butter, cocoa powder, chocolate syrup, soy milk and yogurt for a chocolate alternative.

They are not transmitting a square wave. The square wave is the drive waveform that is modulating the transmitter. If you look at the square wave shot, you will see longer "high" periods (dash) and shorter "high" periods (dots).

In classic "CW" (continuous wave, aka. Morse Code), it would be keying the transmitter on and off. When the transmitter is on, it is transmitting a pure sine wave at the Tx frequency (10.140015 MHz). When the transmitter is off, it is transmitting nothing (duh).

Looking at the schematic, the kit in question is transmitting continuously and modulating the carrier to be slightly higher or lower in frequency based on the square wave modulation drive.

For a direct conversion receiver[1], (heterodyne[2] works the same way, but uses intermediate frequencies to improve selectivity) the receiver has an internal oscillator that is tuned to approximately 1000 Hz difference from the transmitter. By mixing the two signals in the receiver, it demodulates the transmitted signal into a 1000 Hz tone when the transmitter is transmitting and nothing when it is not transmitting (CW) or higher and lower pitches with the kit from the article.

The CW on/off modulation is what you hear (simulated) in the WW2 movies with the beeping ("dit" and "daaah") sounds.

It's well deserved. Github made project hosting a pleasant experience. For opensource projects we had Sourceforge and Berlios before, but their approval processes were tedious and seemed random at times. With Github you are set up within a few seconds to share code. Git made forking/cloning easy, Github made forking trivial. Their Jekyll-based Github pages is also great.

Just because you were promised a part of "stolen" property doesn't mean that you are entitled to it afterwards when it gets returned. All their anger should go against Zuckerberg promising parts he wasn't entitled to, if this turns out to be true!

Let's see how this goes out :-)
Buy organic chips. Figure out WHY you are craving specific things and address that underlying issue.

Some examples:

For me, drinking lots more sodas at work is usually due to an allergic reaction to something at work that day. I have generally gotten myself healthier and generally consume less caffeine because of it, which is something chocolate and soda have in common. A craving for chips can be due to a craving for salt which can suggest adrenal problems. A good quality sea salt and other nutritional support for the adrenals and thyroid can help.
This is the reason that we send all invoices out in my girlfriends name because I'm a freelancer and a very small company most of the work I get is from people who know me directly and there is a massive personal relationship there.

It's really easy for money to get in the way of a friendship / client relationship but having a separate third party makes that so much easier to deal with.

It makes it very easy to bring up billing in the middle of of an email.

"It would be great to get together to discuss x next week, I'm across your way on Tuesday if your free (by the way, x mentioned that your invoice is still outstanding, any chance you could take a look at that so she stops moaning at me! :) )"

Makes the whole thing much simpler and gives them an easy way of responding with some humor.

(I will mention that x actually does exist and it is her email, she also looks after the accounts.. my main point was that the separation of the billing parts from the 'doing the work' parts has been a good thing for us)
Only eat food at meals. Eat as much as you like at first, just do not eat except at breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You may have to start taking a little more time for breakfast.

Within a couple weeks your body will be very acclimated to this schedule, and you will not want to eat except at meals. Once the cravings have stopped, focus on improving the quality of what you're eating. When you're cooking for yourself (and you should) play with how little oil and salt you can use and still enjoy your meal. Reduce portion sizes.

If the cravings return, maybe you eat a little more at your next meal. Maybe they're small enough (and you used enough to your new schedule) that you just don't. Habit is a very powerful thing. Right now, you're habitually snacking. Turn that on its head.

Oh, and it helps if you're eating with other people, especially if they eat quickly, because you will feel social pressure to wrap it up.
A client who pays past the due date, or who doesn't pay at all, is much more "unethical" than that.
"It seems magical to me that some problems can never be solved by an algorithm."

I think this identifies a real problem, but I agree with those who are suspicious of the proposed solution. All that goodwill I would gain from playing good-cop-bad-cop with a sockpuppet as my partner will vanish, threefold, if and when my customers begin to suspect that I'm making stuff up. They will commence to wonder how many other aspects of my company are completely fictional, like my portfolio, or my qualifications.

What I wonder is how much it would cost to outsource Tony. The job of being Tony is, in the simplest form, really simple: You have to physically exist, and send out stock emails that I compose for you, and forward the responses to me. Obviously if your Tony candidate can write and speak well and has great customer-service skills they can do more, like actually respond to calls and emails without checking back with you.
The privatization of prisons is a huge problem whether people want to face it or not. Its a serious problem when people can make profits from having people put in their prisons. The only motivation is to increase profits by having a high utilization of the prisons, by increasing frequency and length of prison terms.

Why starbucks, what is wrong w/ coffee?
This is nice. What about building a chiptune synth using an old gameboy? It would be awesome.
Awesome.

I've been thinking about doing something like this too. Albeit not in the concrete way you've put forward, but something analogous to it.

If my startup takes off and I am at a stable plateau then I think that I can run a program like this on the premises. I could ask the people who are working with me to tutor/mentor kids by building stuff with them. Further, by having a hiring bias I can choose people with a personality that makes them more suited for such a thing.

In the longer run wouldn't it be awesome to fund a Xerox PARC that doubles up as a school? It's an amazing way to create long lasting partnerships with a community. You are giving back and receiving precious talent in return.

P.S. - Is there anyway I can help you out with your project?
