> I don't believe the evidence is on your side.

Interesting. I can find a lot of studies on pubmed with dietary restriction comparisons. While I am not a doctor, I'm familiar enough with scientific and academic literature to read papers and work through them. I think you probably can to, so here are a lot of links:

1. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20679559 (No difference with carb restrictions vs. fat restrictions)

2. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20663066 (Inconsistent results on carb restriction.)

3. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20670466 (Medium-term suggests low-fat diets are superior to low-carb diets in obese individuals due to complications).

4. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20571327 (Obesity treatment is a maintenance treatment, not a triage)

And the final nail I will hammer in your statement today:

5. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20670466

The conclusion to this paper is quite germane:

Ad lib, low fat, high carbohydrate diet was superior to fixed energy intake
for maintaining weight after a major weight loss. The rate of the initial
weight loss did not influence long term outcome.

It's important to understand that linking to a book or a single doctor's blog is not going to be good evidence. These studies are what good evidence is, because they are evidence instead of hearsay and anecdotes. And please note the dates on these studies, they are not old.
They pretty much nail the "fun" category, but the repeated shots they take at compatibility (and iWork) seem pretty dishonest to me, considering, you know, Office for Mac has been around 25 years?

And the Top 10 list made me laugh aloud:

1) the Dock and contextual menus have been around since 2001
2) iMovie and iPhoto were out first
3) Okay, score one for MS.
4) It takes exactly three clicks on Mac OS X as well.
5) Uh, Spotlight?
6) Macs have long been applauded for their sleep/wake abilities.
7) Again, nothing OS X hasn't done for years.
8) Point two for MS.
9) iTunes/Front are good, internet TV doesn't count.
10) Not really seeing this one either.

Dole money, food vouchers, council houses, roads and subsidized public transport. They pretty much already do and I have no problem with my taxes paying for that.

"To bind an element that reflects a piece of state to a piece of data, all you do is set data attribute in the element."

Hey Antonio,
What will the pricing structure be like?

I would hate to sign up for something, get used to it and really like it, and get hit with some absurdly high price.

Perhaps putting the cost upfront might prove to be useful.

Besides, your biggest competitor - clickable.com - buries their price two or three menus deep, which smacks of sleaze.

Please don't follow their lead. Looks like there is a lot of promise here.
You know... all snark aside, a lot of these things are true:

* Macs get a tiny fraction of the games available to Windows.

* Macs really don't have Bluray support.

* Macs really are different from Windows, although they are different in arguably a good way, and my mom had no trouble learning them.

* Macs really do a crappy job with Word and Excel, and like it or not, and regardless of the degree to which this is MSFT's fault, Word and Excel are important in business.

* Macs are less compatible with hardware, although this is getting less and less so.

Now, obviously you have to trade this off against:

* Macs shipping out of the box able to do solid video and audio editing --- as in, "plug in the Flip camera and go".

* Macs superior out-of-the-box integration with the #1 online digital media store (ITMS)

* The all-around better user experience on the Mac for the things most people care about.

And, I am genuinely baffled by the "it's easier to share on Windows". Uh, no it isn't.

As a Mac user I say it's about time Microsoft stopped pussyfooting around making oblique references to Apple. It's a real fight, and they should try to win it.
Still, creating a new language just for bindings (across all clients) still doesn't make sense to me. A good javascript library or framework should be good enough.
9 out of 10 people already use Windows. Are they trying to get that number back up to 9.4 out of 10? I think their efforts are better spent in mobile and building an iPad competitor. It's really going to hurt when Apple and Google lock up the mobile and tablet markets.
Thanks for the clarification.

I can't imagine what a bankruptcy process would look like for a public entity as large as California.

Putting aside the legal reality for the moment, in theory if the state could and did declare bankruptcy, wouldn't CA need to sell off assets to its creditors in order to pay down some of the outstanding debt before it could proceed with a debt restructuring plan? Couldn't we end up with a scenario where another state who purchased CA debt (if there are any) ends up owning CA state parks, port authorities, schools, and other state-owned policies? How might that go down?

I know it's not realistic, but now I'm curious as to what it would look like...
Here is some basic information on the total taxation http://retirementliving.com/RLtaxes.html
> Calories make you fat.

It's not nearly that simple. 2000 calories once a day in one sitting is vastly different than 2000 calories spread evenly over 5 or 6 meals throughout the day.

Calories don't make you fat, insulin spikes make you fat, which are caused by too many calories too fast causing your blood sugar to spike.
The top 10 list isn't really interesting because it's just a framing device for Win7 features; the "real" top 10 list would lead with "native support for Word and Excel", and would include something about security.

It's not that companies regard it as a technical challenge, telecommuting is a communications challenge.

When people are in your office and they are part of your team, decisions get made much faster and everybody feels the energy.

We have done both, and our best productivity came from people being in our office.
by getting out of Iraq and Afghanistan, and by shrinking the DOD budget by say 30% (by cutting out things not needed to actually defend us), and by eliminating tax exemptions and loopholes for the rich and large corporations. By somehow reducing the spending done on the legal and financial professions, and by making companies pay more of the full share of the costs they impose on externalities like the environment and public health, and by numerous other possible changes to be more efficient economically. Like not having government debt so save money by not having to pay interest payments, etc.

Ask HN: Did you ever do anything unethical to get your startup off the ground?
A lot of mixergy interviewers say that in the early days they've done things that would be considered unethical in order to get their sites off the ground.

A good example of this would be Facebook, which has done a ton of things early on.

So have you yourself(or the company you worked for) done anything that would be considered unethical to get the business off the ground?(if you are worried about your reputation just use a throwaway account)

This may involve:

- spamming comments to get links/users

- creating a ton of pages with keywords to get long tail google traffic

- scraping other's websites to fill your DB

- putting up an order page when your site wasn't ready

- putting up 235 users online when you only had one

- pretending to be bigger than you were

- voting up your own submission on HN/Digg/Reddit

- creating a fake back story to make your startup interesting(we just want to save the world, we don't care about money)

- astroturfing your site with fake accounts

- sending fake numbers to get coverage(i.e. traffic, revenue, profit)

- buying an email list to spam people

- promising unrealistic delivery dates

- using the user's email address to spam their address book

- pretending the site has users when it doesn't(this hottie is 5 miles away from you, register to contact her)

- etc.
thanks so much! i'll do that
The glycemic index of the carb also affects hunger to a large degree because of the resulting spike in blood sugar. Yes, if you are only going to eat X amount of calories they are pretty much all the same. One of the biggest carbs to cut is fructose as it interferes with the "im full" feeling.

But if you are a sane human being that eats when they are hungry then cutting carbs especially high glycemic index carbs (fructose) can put your body in a state where weight loss will occur naturally because of reduced appetite.
Lift heavy and eat more.

Lifting: What are you doing now? Squat every workout, and then switch back and forth between a benchpress/upper body and deadlift/lower body routine.

Eating: Eat more, especially protein. You probably will have to have shakes to get enough. Eat two more small meals during the day.

It took me a while to realize why I had my best gains in 1st year university. It was because I was on a meal plan, eating twice as much as I normally would.

And now, I am losing weight doing the same workout routine as usual. Why? Because my diet has drastically changed from living abroad.
A huge chunk of their money depends on people using Windows (the Office hegemony depends in part on people being native Windows), so it'd be borderline irresponsible of them to ignore this issue; Microsoft did make a tablet play, which went nowhere, and for all we know iPad-style tablets really are a flavor of the month.

It's hard to argue with tens of billions of dollars.

Right and it's not technically a top 10 of Mac vs. PC, but the tabs are right next to each other which is why I commented on it.
Up your calories. Since you're a vegetarian keep eating tons of veggies (snack on them all day if you can), actually everyone should take this advice. Eat nuts, great source of cals, good fat and healthy. Personally I like something better than peanuts.

Find a whey protein powder that you like. This will require some trial and error. Drink a serving post workout. In a pinch, chocolate milk will work fine.

http://www.bodyrecomposition.com/muscle-gain/an-objective-co...

I have found Muscle Milk to taste the best, but it's not cheap. Take a look at www.trueprotein.com for a good deal on protein, but you have build your own mix. If you get unflavored whey you can mix it with all sorts of things to simply up the protein content. Something to think about.

Finally, if you're still not gaining weight drink milk. The classic bulk was to drink 1/2 gallon or more/day in addition to your regular meals. I promise you'll start putting on weight then :)

One more thing, check your workout. Get a book like New Rules of Lifting or Huge in a Hurry to get a set of great professionally made workouts that will last nearly a year.
Too bad they require you to put ads on your site.

It'd be nice if they would make it possible to pay them a chunk of money that they'll distribute to places I visited in more or less the same way they do with ad money now, only I wouldn't have to see the ads.

Sort of what Flattr is doing, only automated.
Incidentally, Microsoft abandoned MKS almost immediately. They bought Interix very soon after. Interix implemented UNIX system calls natively, so it always came with traditional, useful shells. It's now bundled into Windows as a free product: Subsystem for Unix Application (SUA) or Services For UNIX (SFU).

Last I checked, you could still buy MKS Toolkit from MKS, but I have no idea why you would want to.
Yes, it is possible to save a significant amount of money on Priceline.

Choose as wide a geographical range as possible - tick all the areas that could possibly work for you. Don't forget that public transport makes practically any location workable in cities like London and Paris.

The deals are better at the highest end - saving 40% on a 4-star hotel is definitely doable, savings at the lower end are more modest. If you are on a really tight budget, you'll probably do better with hostels than Priceline.

Some areas are just hard (like NYC) - Priceline will get you something manageable rather than exorbitant, but it can't get you cheap, because cheap isn't to be had.

Great deals are also to be had in airport hotels. If you are somewhere where there is public transport between the airport and your destination, and you can afford the extra time it takes to commute, you can save a pile of money. Eg you can stay near CDG and take the RER to Paris. Of course, make sure the train cost + cheap hotel is less than the pricier hotel.

I really like the publishing layout view in word. It saved me countless hours trying to write some documentation for work where you have to describe screenshots and how they work. Basically you have a long narrative of a numbered list and link all the textbox regions so they flow from one to another. I don't think the windows version of word has this mode.

> It included inability to travel, participate in the political process, no significant right to dissent, the constant risk of losing one's livelihood (and 'perks) for purely political reasons, severe restrictions on the ownership of private property, etc, etc, etc

That did not include engineers only. It was true for everyone. But that doesn't mean people were crying on the streets and committing suicide.

Engineers that never participated or cared to participate in dissent or political activities didn't have it bad. No homes with 2 car garages but a decent standard of living. A good apartment, healthcare, 1+ month seaside resort vacation, health care, education for your children. All those thing were included.

> Did Soviet engineers and scientists enjoy a fairly reasonable standard of living? Many did. But the comparison to the US and health care is ludicrous on its face.

They had a significantly better health even if they became unemployed than someone in US would have if they became unemployed (which is none at all).

> But the comparison to the US and health care is ludicrous on its face.

Why is it ridiculous? I will take ex Soviet health care rather than no health care or healthcare that results in you having to sell your house and live on the streets. They had good doctors and stressed preventive care just as much as emergency care (which is the case in US nowadays for many who cannot afford health insurance).

You can bash the political system all you want. I am with you with that. But I don't think you know what you are talking about when it comes to other stuff.

If you don't mind me asking, have you lived there or are you just taking an wild guess?

> Did Soviet engineers and scientists enjoy a fairly reasonable standard of living? Many did.

I thought that is the whole point of this discussion thread...
Avoiding carbs is a hack.

What it really should say is avoid 80% of the crappy cheap carbs you get from super refined/processed foods and sugars.

Just try eating 1000 calories of these categories:
-breads
-meat
-veggies
-fruits

Which one is by far the easiest to intake? Breads. An average person eats way too many calories by carbs. So it is undeniably true that cutting down carbs will cut down your calorie intake, and cut down your weight.

Not many other cultures eat flour and sugar in such quantities.
Like most things in life, it depends. Just because it didn't work in your case doesn't mean it never works, that it's never a good idea, and that it's always a waste of time. For us, it's turned out to work really well, and we feel like the benefits outweigh the costs. Your mileage will vary.

For some reason, though, this is a subject on which many people feel qualified to make pronouncements about the wisdom of what other people are doing. I have, for example, had a candidate come in for an interview, look at the office layout, lecture me for 15 minutes about how we must be idiots because we're killing our productivity with our open layout, and then leave because he'd refuse to work in a place like that. At least it saved me the other 45 minutes I would have had to spend interviewing the guy.

My guess: The brass at Microsoft was probably thrilled when Apple switched to Intel. To them, this meant easy virtualization/dual boot setups, so obviously, more licenses sold for Windows (because, c'mon, everyone needs Windows with that vast library of software that EVERYONE uses!)

Then they realized people switching were happy with just OS X and the cross platform available titles....

California's problem is that they regulated retail but not wholesale electricity and banned the construction of new powerplants. Basic supply and demand, there's less so it costs more. So the local electricity companies have to buy supplies from out of state and can't pass on the cost, creating deep structural problems.

About California's only hope is mass nuke building before it's too late.
what, and they only had to pay back $10,000 of the millions of dollars they took?
From quickly scanning through those studies I don't think any one of them actually looked at a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. The so-called high fat diet was ~40% calories from fat, and they never defined what kind of fat (soybean oil, known to exacerbate obesity?). That necessarily means it was mostly a carbohydrate diet. Another of the so-called low carb diets is about "low glycemic index vegetables" with a weekly increase in carb serving. One of the studies is about MUFA. Nobody is advocating a high MUFA diet. The key is saturated fat.

These links don't add much to the discussion. GCBC rigorously breaks down the entire body of research. It was the product of years of careful review. I suggest you read it.
This idea is treated (lightly, but deftly) in Wall-E and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Both seem to hint at the same underlying premise: if you want to preserve human life in giant space ships, then resource management will need to be largely automated - otherwise you probably won't make it out of the solar system before people start shooting each other for control of the steering wheel. Kurt Vonnegut offers more cynical vision (surprise) in a short story called The Big Space Fuck: by the time we reach a consensus on the necessity, the most we can hope for is to put a tiny subset of our society in deep freeze and hope it hits fertile ground elsewhere.

I'm a bit surprised by Hawking's rather apocalyptic tone; then again, few people are as well qualified to contrast our scientific potential and relatively abundant resources with the way our species actually distributes their fruits. Hawking says relatively little about his own disability, but I imagine he's keenly aware that his prospects in a future resource-depleted society would be no better than those in a past or present underdeveloped one.

I'm unsure why reports of his remarks invariably mention planets and interstellar travel. Certainly that's the long-term scenario, but in the meantime we have to deal with the significant but manageable transition to an interplanetary economy rather than an intercontinental one. As a practical matter that requires more space stations and a way to exploit the mineral/energy resources of asteroids to facilitate in-space construction by robots. We really need to get away from the tropes of heroic humans in spacesuits. Individual 'first person on the planet' moments are over - that is no more sensible than Columbus setting sail across the Atlantic in order to dig up some gold with a shovel. Future great explorers will be directing large industrial fleets, not firing thrusters on a control panel or monkeying about in zero-g.

I don't think this is a bad idea for them - I've heard (no sources, unfortunately) that new college entrants are now predominantly using Macs. It takes years for the loss of market share to truly translate into profit/revenue loss.

If it's true that the younger generation is flocking to Macs in droves, then it would be deceptive and ill-advised to say that 9 out of 10 people right now use Windows, and that's the way it will stay.

I think MS is fighting to avert a disaster that will happen 5-10 years from now. This seems wise, though as a Mac user I have to scoff a little bit at it ;)

(Windows can do more than Macs, but lack of integration and poor UI means that most of its users don't.)
