Hey everyone!

I created KetoAF after my own experience using the ketogenic diet along with a new weight lifting regimen. I dropped from 18% to 12% body fat over the first 6 weeks, while maintaining overall bodyweight. Meaning I replaced over 11 lbs of fat with lean muscle. aka Body Recomposition - something many fitness "gurus" say is impossible.
My first few weeks on the new diet I experienced the dreaded "keto flu". I tried supplementing with a few exogenous ketone products on the market. They definitely helped, but tasted terrible. BHB is pretty bitter, and most products seem to try and mask this with tart fruit flavors. Plus they only contain BHB but studies show that BHB combined with MCT increases ketone levels higher, for longer.

KetoAF is a new Superfuel that contains both BHB & MCT in a delicious cinnamon latte flavor! It tastes great in almond milk or your morning coffee . KetoAF is a non-carb, no caffeine source of energy - great for those on the keto diet,or anyone looking to improve training, recovery, and performance.

Ketones (BHB Salts) like goBHB™ are really expensive to manufacture. As such, most companies break out a BHB ketone "base" and then sell a MCT powder as a separate product, telling you to stack them together. Their BHB base products alone cost more than KETO AF, and you will spend more than $100 to buy both products, separately! Our product retails at $49 and right now we are running a buy 2 get 1 free sale for the rest of the month.

We’ll be here all day answering questions! Have you tried Keto? Have you tried supplementing with exogenous ketones? Are you Keto AF ?

And it's a two fold thing you have to do as a developer of anything: Don't get emotionally attached to your code, and always make sure it's crystal clear that you have problems with someone else's code. Never let it get personal. If you can't go have a beer with this person after you tear up some of their work, then you're failing as a collaborator IMHO.
For me it's good to have a healthy dose of skepticism about these things, especially when it comes to social studies. I didn't like the conclusive tone of the mother jones article personally. The mother jones author does a fairly amateur analysis and concludes: "I’d say that basic cohort analysis supports the lead-crime hypothesis, while age analysis might not."

The article I posted is a counterpoint to this in which an academic cohort study is reviewed finding lead explains less than 1% of the variation in crime in a cohort, and another cohort study there reviewed found no association between lead exposure and murder -- so a relevant article to post here, I'd say.

Do you consider the results in the MJ article to be as robust as a meta-analysis and if not, do you have the same criticism of that article? (in which case, fair enough)
I’m guessing that you have problems with people offline as much as online, assuming that this is your standard of behavior. Maybe you should consider that your overly brash and confrontational tone simply isn’t working for you.
If you have prepared plans, infrastructure is well suited because it can be started so quickly. Hiring can start immediately once the contract is signed, construction often starts only a few months later.

But that assumes that all planning stages have been completed. Those take the longest (often several years) but are less costly. So preparing those would be worth it now, starting to actually hire people to build would however increase the risk of overheating the economy.
https://hamstudy.org/ Is a fantastic resource for this as well. Along with the various flashcard apps on mobile.
You are supposed to modify and fit Agile into your specific process, not follow it dogmatically. It's literally the first thing on the manifesto: "Individuals and interactions over processes and tools". Change the process, or change the culture around this instead of blaming a broken process.

To add an example: At this company they have the concept of an IP (Innovation and Planning) sprint. This means that one sprint out of 5 we take to fix technical debt, add instrumentation, verify documentation. You should have some time carved out for mentoring.

At the very least, don't count the juniors in your capacity. This way you'll be able to handle their pace while keeping your velocity.
Right, I've worked from home for 10 years.

Oftentimes my partner would come home from school, work, and want to relax. I'd want to go anywhere. "Where?" "I dunno, even the mall." "Is there something you want?" "Not that I can think of."

But it was to be "social". Be around people, even with minimal interaction. She wanted to relax, had been busy and around people all day.

I'd been at home with our cat and our dog.

You can be "social", or at least "not alone", without having to talk to people.
Since nobody anywhere has ever "fixed" homelessness, not really fair to criticize Seattle for not doing it.
And there was simple resistor resolder hack to make GeForce 2MX think it is Quadro. It was very useless and very cool at the same time. Few people got into hardware hacking (read electronics engineering) thanks to this little and yet very positive soldering experience.
And you could have transported that message without all the negative fluff and (probably, as I said, there is noise) without downvotes.
I trust but verify. When dealing with Arango I’m Not openly hostile to their claims. I’ve made several libraries for it even though I don’t use it. Contrast this with Mongo. Their web scale carpet bombing campaign makes me not use them at all. I immediately dismiss them. That is how I found Arango during my booklet writing days.
uBlock Origin and uMatrix serve me well.

I see no reason to change anything.
There are lots of interesting hobbyist/hacker/maker projects as well, like the sdr chips, HF kits like uBitX, and FaradayRF. One of my coworkers has his license to track model rockets with a small transmitter that sends GPS telemetry. Lots of cool stuff!
I got a technician's license last year. But since hand held Ham radios are so cheap these days, it's a great idea to buy one and learn how to use the national simplex frequencies and your local repeaters. In the case of a real emergency, the FCC allows you to use a Ham radio without a license.

The BaoFeng UV-82 is a great starting point for less than $30.
Post some inflammatory things on your twitter account and it can come back to bite you. But it is funny that it disqualifies her from writing opinion pieces for a newspaper, while other people tweet far more outrageous things nearly daily and can be President.

I'm not sure why some people get teflon and others don't.
I'm lucky to work where I do. We have the best system I've seen for growing junior developers. Our team is about 60 engineers and I'd say close to 20 of them are from non-traditional backgrounds (coding bootcamps or self taught). It's not that we're doing anything revolutionary, we merely accept that we can handle them, assign them a mentor, and let them learn.
How often do you trade and how important is fast executions? I've noticed many programmers try to shoehorn in execution algorithms into a strategy that doesn't need it. If you can run an analytics program that just sends you a trade alert from which you manually execute, that will save you a lot in systems risk.

Also, the fact that you're asking this question tells me this is very very unlikely to be a good idea. Be careful.
If its just revenue, then I think the alternative is to charge for wifi, for time-in-seat.

e.g. here is your table. its yours for $8/hour. House coffee free. Anything else, go to the front.
I remember seeing computers marketed as having both a "2D accelerator" and a "3D accelerator" -- separate cards. I never had the cash for a Voodoo card back in the day, but I certainly wanted one!
Ironic
the idea is just downplayed by the next day article

This is also one reason why senior people don't want to mentor -- they'll get stabbed in the back at the first opportunity.

Ageism also goes both ways: I find the output of the current young generation pretty unimaginative and poor. Redecorating OCaml, Erlang and Javascript in order to have a "new" "technology" does not impress me.
I am glad you ran with my idea and found an edge pretty quick!

What is your average yearly return on the 20 years back testing?
I toggled the Allow User Interaction button and was able to click and drag a corner of the paper around, which was pretty neat.

But I found myself wanting to multi-touch the screen, to hold one edge while moving another. I felt as though the mouse/touchpad interactions we have available are far less expressive than holding and manipulating the paper with our bare hands.
You do what your team and company needs. If they need me to work on a big re-engineering project, or build a core framework feature, I do it. If they need me to get onto a regular sprint team for a while and churn out the backlog, I do it.
The competition is a rideshare. That’s tap, step out, think about other things until you’re magically at your destination. Being able to walk over, walk on, (stay alert), walk off, walk over is considerably fewer things one has to give a shit about.
I think it was a footnote in The Intelligent Investor (Graham) that mentioned inflation could be seen as a benefit for government, by reducing the value of the national debt.

Now official inflation figures are still quite low (around 2.5% from Bureau of Labor Statistics [1], unless I'm reading it wrong or not looking at the right chart), but from personal experience I think these figures are being lowballed significantly. Compare for example the cost of buying a condo in a major city or the price of a cup of Starbucks coffee - both have easily outpaced a 2.5% increase.

It takes time to solve the lock-in, but it's worth it. I started switching to my own domain 18 months before I jumped to FastMail. First my new email address forwarded to Gmail, and I just switched which email was on each account as I used it. When I switched to FastMail and repointed my email there, most new email came with it, and then I'd keep an eye on Gmail to see what still came there, so I knew what I needed to change.

I've been switched for over a year now, and I check Gmail once every couple weeks now, instead of daily, like I did when I first switched. (I also have a Gmail vacation responder set up to automatically email literally anyone who emails it to tell them I don't check it often and what my new address is.) Yes, I'll probably keep the address forever, but it certainly isn't used much anymore.

Ironically, I had issues with my Gmail address long before I wanted to change providers: My main Google account address has my old last name, and Google's archaic infrastructure[1] for identity provides no way to change it. I had a newer Gmail address forwarding mail to it, because I didn't have a way to move all of my purchases like Android apps and the like, over to my new address' account.

[1]Microsoft has no issue with your account having multiple Microsoft-owned and/or third party email addresses and letting you change the primary one. There's some wonkiness with different services not recognizing your primary email has changed, but largely speaking, this is manageable. I have the same Microsoft account as I had years ago, everything carried over, but now identified by my current email address.
The AMP viewer and the AMP cache page are served from different domains. Leaking the size of the cache page to the viewer page would be a security bug, which is worse than the scrolling bug that Apple actually had.
Code schools try to solve this problem. But they need to become an actual structural part of the industry before companies can really start to rely on them.
But are you constantly buying things when doing so? If I meet up with a friend at a cafe, it seems we usually just buy some coffee when we get there and then sit there and chat without buying more.
Why is Neo4j in this comparison at all? It's a graph database and its use-case is very specifically different than relational or document databases.

Please compare apples to apples.
Why should I?

Everything exists solely to serve society.

Something that does not provide a benefit for the users, should not be allowed. That simple.
> However, infrastructure projects tend to have high multipliers - think the interstate highway system and the internet.

In theory. In reality that can be the case but is very hard to forecast. Those projects rely on 30+ year estimates of travel habits. Much of the fibre infrastructure put in the ground during the dotcom bubble would still not really be profitable. On the other hand, road demand is far above expectations because of ecommerce and more complex supply chain.

Doesn't mean we should do these projects but financing them purely out of debt because of higher anticipated growth is dangerous.
vi - it's everywhere by default...
I agree. There seem to be several good leading indicators for cryptocurrency prices, especially for new altcoins. I'm building https://coinparse.com/ exactly for this. I wrote a post on this recently: https://coinparse.com/articles/omg-anatomy-of-price/ as an introduction.
But which default database configuration has a reasonable tuning to run a benchmark?
I remember in the same era, carefully shorting a blown fuse on the package of my Athlon using a graphite pencil, so that I could overclock it. I heated my apartment with that PC.
I thought it was a nice example of new stuff in Amateur radio. In retrospect I should have mentioned the new digital modes.
I am very doubtful that 'lower-class' people are more likely to hold racist views. In my experience in the UK it's the opposite. Working class people here are constantly used as a scapegoat by the middle classes when it suits their pockets.

Brexit for example had nothing to do with race and everything to do with massive immigration distorting the housing market. The average house price in London is now around $750,000 USD, which is of course an enormous problem for the poor, but enormously profitable to property-owning middle classes. But the middle-class mainstream media paint a picture of a mob of racist working classes being the root cause.

Bully them into line with the worst kind of insults, and keep those house prices rising.
> I consider friendship to be an endorsement of the other person.

In that case I have no friends. Nor I believe I'll ever have. All of my friends have some conflicting opinions. Not just with me but between all of us.

I don't think people should be valued as a sum of their parts. People are an aggregation of experiences opinions ans characteristics. We should evaluate each part individually.

Example: John Doe is an excellent programmer, a 10x programmer even. But he is known to have a neo-nazi blog. One thing is "good2 and the other is "bad". Does being a neo-nazi make him a bad programmer? No. Does him being a 10x programmer make his social ideas good? No. He is both things. One "good", the other "bad". And they can live side by side.

Based on John's opinions I probably wouldn't invite him to dinner at my house. But I would damn sure go to him if I had a programming problem.
back when I had the time to do that I didn't have so much money. probably a drink per 1.5 hours or so.
Of course it is. But in most organizations, managers do not understand software development. That competence is extremely hard to hire.
That's pretty much standard in every industry, though. Competition will kick underperformers out of the market and some amount of consolidation is inevitable. It's not Nvidia doesn't have any competition nowadays.
So then you admit that downvoting comes from people, who use their personal feelings of resentment to stifle thought. Exactly my point. All I want to do is talk tech without having to tiptoe around invisible peoples feelings. This is a microcosm of why silicon valley sucks.
> Removing all cars from the road (most of which aren't private cars anyway) during peak time would maybe increase demand by some 5-10%

Transportation demand is devious. People might travel more and further if it’s free. This could also affect where people move and to where they are willing to commute.
> want to make a name for themselves with a "real" project

I think the ones doing it to make a name for themselves rather than solve a real problem are a lot less common than you're making it out to be.
Or Feynman: "The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool."
Just a writing tip:

You're getting down voted, and if you reordered your statements you probably wouldn't.

This is a thread that attracts people complaining about the budget. Your first statements make it look like you think everything is fine, which is in disagreement, which turns people off and makes them down vote you.

But your point is that there is a problem, and it's actually allocation, which is a good point.

If you put that first and backed it up, and then debunked the deficit, more people would likely read it, and they might agree with you too.

Anyway, hope that helps.
I lived through the entirety of Zimbabwe's hyperinflation era. I don't quite recall how the updates of prices were done, whether you would pick the item up, and it would just be updated by computer while you were waiting in line, or if you'd only hear the price at checkout, or if you would just learn the price at checkout. What I do recall is how utterly empty every store was, and the massive queues that people would stand in to get a loaf of bread.

Also, a lot of money in the streets, in the literal sense. As greater and greater denominations were printed, and earlier denominations became worthless, people would toss the old bills out. It's somewhat amusing that tourists actually buy this 'worthless' money for its novelty.

Realistically, by mid to late 2008, you would have had to purchase basic necessities (and certainly petrol) in South African rands or USD.
> I'm not sure why some people get teflon and others don't.

In the unlikely case that that was not rhetorical, how much overlap do you think there is between the nytimes readership and Trump's base?

Double, no. But I had a company that gave me a 30-40$ increase one year because it was obvious I was performing at that level.

Then a couple years later they were giving me basically no raise. When I told them I thought I was worth more, they asked me if I could "wait a year".

I got a new job and a huge raise compared to the last one. (Again, 30-40%.)

So while it's possible, it's not always even reliable at the same company that has done it in the past.
> We also ban computer generated child porn even though there is no victim involved in the production of that.

Many places don't do that.
Same holds true in Dutch - although male and female words share the same article ("de"), neuter words use a different one ("het"), diminutive words (ending in -je) are always neuter, and we usually say "meisje" for girls. Hence girl is neuter.
There is a restaurant in Tulsa call JJ's Gourmet Burgers. It is famous for it's eccentric owner enthusiastically kicking customers out of his restaurant for not abiding by his unwritten rules. The place has been around since the 70s. The owner decided how he wanted his restaurant to be used and he was rewarded with a loyal following and a steady stream of curious customers.
Yes. When I lived in Germany (circa 1996-2001) this was very noticeable. Germans, at least West Germans, talked about speed cameras the way Brits talk about the weather.
The leaders should care a great deal.
It's not low ridership, it's mostly losing money due to low prices. A large group of people tends to get free transport (university students, children, the elderly, disabled people) which means that in the end, only part of those using the system actually pay. Monthly tickets are also often heavily discounted (not in all cities though).
The reflexive part is that any time our personal space (emotional, mental, or physical) is threatened, it is a reflex to retaliate with "you are violating my freedom" style response.

To ideas that threaten: "You can't make me think that way, I am free to think as I want"

To feelings of discomfort: "It's a free country, I shouldn't have to feel this way"

To physical space: "this is me or my property, I can do what I want with it"

Obviously, when taken in extremes this results in polarization, mischaracterization, and ignorance. Taken responsibly, it is also not appreciably different from any place with a bill of rights. To americans, I would level the criticism that we use it as a crutch and an excuse, more than an ethos, as evidenced that most appeals to freedom are also appeals to the value of self interest.
>Looks like quite a feat to qualify a spacecraft power supply!

It's actually a hell of a feat to get any kind of electronics certified for outer space use.

The atmosphere we have blocks a HUGE portion of ionizing radiation, including x-rays and gamma rays. Those forms of energy will play merry hell with any kind of sensitive electronics, so they have to be suitably ruggedized -- far more so than even most military specs which mostly call for shock, impact, and exposure to elements. Since they can be supplying power to sensitive electronics, where half a volt can be the difference between containing and letting out the magic smoke, that sort of regulation is absolutely key.
My god how do you go outside with a sensitivity level that high?
> I'm currently a contractor, and was told because of this that I may not become an actual hire

They are never going to hire you. The contract is, in a way, a more airtight way of paying you under the table. Depending on the size of the business, labeling everyone as 1099 can reduce taxes for the business quite a bit. Thing is, though, is that it's illegal. But it's usually up to the worker to report it, so it is extremely under-enforced.

Bottom line is that you're being abused. I encourage you to file Form SS-8 as soon as possible with the IRS and check into your state's labor office to see what they can do.

Why is "internet tv" just a copy of cable tv? Don't they see that cable is failing?

The only reason to watch TV nowadays is live sports (and you can get some of that online), and live
news (if you want full opinionated coverage). Everything else you can get on the internet, with less commercials and less mula.

Internet TV is only worth it, if it's À la carte. Pick the channels you want and pay for them. Why pay for channels you will never watch?

I (Amateur Extra) ordered a BitX40 and about a month later they announced the uBitX... so I've ordered one of those, and not only going to hack the firmware and do some upgrades but also learn about 3D printing to make a case :)
I hadn't thought of that. Obtrusive ads are bad unless they are our obtrusive ads.

I also want to understand what % of ads they'll be blocking are from competitor ad platforms and what % are self impacting vs the same for ads they don't block. Will this effectively devalue their competitors in a significant way?
A few years back a person I worked with was tasked with implementing code coverage. Part of that task was they also had to get our code base up to 80% coverage or so.

They wrote stupid test after stupid test after stupid test. Hundreds of them. Oh Em Gee. It was like that story of Mr T. Where the army sergeant punished him by telling him to go chop trees down, only to come back and find Mr T had cut down the whole forest.
