A high cholesterol level can mean your body already had high levels of inflammation, so it produces more cholesterol to "fix it". But a side-effect of that is that it clogs your arteries. And it's worse when you have a Vitamin K2-deficient diet, which means calcium is slowly accumulated into your tissues and arteries.

Heart attack is caused by the "plaque" that "breaks off". So I'm thinking it wouldn't be a plaque with just the cholesterol alone. It needs the calcium to really turn dangerous.

I think everyone needs to do a CAC test. But it seems most doctors believe only the US president and astronauts are good enough for it.

This documentary on it is a good one:

The Real Cost of Bad Data in Recruitment
I'd look at WFPB for food (I'm NOT a HFLC or keto promoter at all) and some strength training (most bang of your hour of commitment -- see reddit.com/r/bodyweightfitness) for starters. That will get most to a place of general wellbeing (both in not toxifying your body and posture) in a few months.

The basic idea I believe many of the "cronic", "infammetory", "auto-immune" and/or "unfixable by MDs" diseases lies in a diet that is not for humans. Hummans are frugavores (fruit eaters, that can only tolerate minescule, bug-size, amounts of meat), like primates. Technically frugavores are a sub-category of omnivores, but in practise there are a lot of differences (dog/bear/swine = omnivore). Herbivores are different too: they graze and have multiple stomachs. Understand that you are a frugavore, and live up to it, or --as I understand it-- the "unfixable by MDs diseases" will get you. They cannot fix it, because you need to stop something, not add a drug or cut-out/radiate a piece of body.

You can look for natural remedies of RA. Flax seed powder (high in ALA-O3) and high DHA-O3 algae extract oil capsules are great. So is turmeric.

More info see Dr Greger and Dr Bergman. They have videos on the topic of RA. These guys base their advice on science.

Then there is the, not so well scientifically supported, next level (first eat "clean" for a while) and that is detoxing. This basically starts by a colon cleanse and "getting your kidneys to filter". Dr Robert Morse is your guy here. This will involve some types of fasting for most people. Once your colon and kidneys can properly eliminate waste, you lymph system will be able to drain the acidic waste from you inflamed joints and your body will heal you RA, naturally.

G'luck! You can fix this 100%. With the emphasis on you, as your condition is due to a lack of some pharmaceutical (patented medicine). It is MOST probably due to your body's been obstructed in fixing itself somehow.

I'm not a big fan of mailing lists either, for the reasons you describe

What I do dislike though is, as Slack is invite only (the software is designed for "Teams" in workplaces, not public forums) you have to explicitly request access from the admins and this is often via the mailing lists.
Hemoglobin is an interesting molecule. There are a lot of variations, and even the 'bad' variations aren't always 'bad' for everyone. I believe there is a significant portion of those with homozygous sickle cell trait (meaning they ought to have full on sickle cell anemia) who don't show any symptoms. I have thalassemia (a similar hemoglobinopathy), but I also carry the hereditary persistence of fetal hemoglobin (I basically have baby blood), which means -- if i were to have sickle cell anemia -- it wouldn't affect me as much, and my anemia symptoms from the thalassemia are greatly lessened.

There's a ton of other variations that can ameliorate all these things too. That's just my knowledge on one. In fact, for those with full-on thalassemia (or sickle cell too), they frequently give hydroxyurea, which causes the bone marrow to produce fetal hemoglobin, to aleve the anemia symptoms.

It's all very interesting

Is dairy still in? I think it used to be, but is on the way out in most places due to the mountain of evidence proving it makes us sick.

Processed meat is since a few years on the carcinogens lists (next to asbestos and smoking). But strange enough still on the hospital menus (also consumed by cancer patients)!

It takes a while I guess... Sadly.

Why is the rural minority so special? We don’t give other minorities this sort of treatment.

For example, the percentage of rural Americans is similar to the percentage of black Americans. Yet somehow nobody ever argues that black Americans need power disproportionate to their numbers to avoid being trampled.

> I don't get why the author hates slack so much.

He gives a nice reasoning in the last paragraph:

Slack is a walled garden. Their proprietary API is defined by them and only implemented by them. They can and will shut off parts you depend on (like the IRC+XMPP gateways that were just shut down).
They could implement what properly? According to the tweet XMPP supports this. Slack just doesn't care.

I like the attitude of telling the truth. Compare to Torvalds.

I'm not conflating avoidance and evasion (although it's a fairly fuzzy line between them at times, and things which were once avoidance have been deemed illegal schemes after the fact on many occasions).

Unsurprisingly I don't have obvious evidence of the UK government breaking UK law.

However what I would suggest as evidence of ambivalence is the fact that several jurisdictions which are considered friendly to tax evasion and avoidance (so called "noncooperative tax jurisdictions") are UK dependencies.

The UK could, if it really wanted to, crack down on the tax and company formation regimes in these locations, but they choose not to.

That, to me, is evidence of ambivalence.
So your take is "what he said is not true"?
AFAIK Telegram has a substantial user base in Russian speaking countries, Iran and cryptocurrrency related communities. Although I think that's mostly thanks to their successful marketing rather than offering any real privacy/security.
I think that would probably break a lot of web apps, which will use URLs with "https://" in them. Also e.g. HTTP2 doesn't work without TLS (the spec technically allows, but no major browser actually does).
> carcinogens lists (next to asbestos and smoking).

The quality of the evidence that processed red meat causes cancer is now as good as the evidence that smoking causes cancer.

The strength of the effect is very very different. Smoking causes a lot of cancer. Red meat causes very little cancer.

It's completely incorrect to suggest red meat is equivalent to smoking for cancer.
I guess this is my problem, I understand the principle of Mediterranean diet, I just don't know _specifically_ what food to make.,
> So they have to close everything off, to make sure that people can't extract their conversations out of the silo.

I totally agree with article itself, but this is rather moot point. Slack still provide full history export for free and it's rather easy to self-host said history. IRC and XMPP didn't made it any easier to extract that data.

I aware that export doesn't include private messages, but it's not what Slack used for mostly anyway.
My biggest issue with Slack is that on the free plan they store everything forever, but only allow you to access the last 10,000 messages.

I'm fine with limits, but the users should be free to delete messages beyond the limit. It's my data that I entered in and they are preenting me from deleting it which is a pretty nasty thing to do.

I suspect this will all change in May when the GDPR comes into play. The policy is clearly not compliant. They will likely either need to allow for deletion, or give users access to the data (even on free accounts).

Why not Kotlin?
Animal proteins are inflammatory, as they contain sulfur based amino acids. So meat is going to inflame. Same for the saturated fats in meat (not even to speak of dairy), which are rarely found in plants. Finally out intestine is too long, and not acidic enough to meat, it may rot in our intestine causing inflammation.

Looking for a "good for health" diet: see WFPB.
wow, this article explains why I don't remember my childhood and the most part of my teenage years, and even later memories are registered as some facts, not actual memories. I always thought it's a protective mechanism my brain developed to get rid of all the negative things, but the authors say it is just the price for being physically active (I run 10k every day, play Ultimate, + martial arts, mountaineering/alpinism and other extreme sports) => growing new neurons:

"A few years back, Frankland and his wife Sheena Josselyn—also a neuroscientist at the Hospital for Sick Children—started to notice that the mice they studied performed worse on certain kinds of memory tests after living in a cage with a running wheel. As the couple knew, exercise on a running wheel promotes neurogenesis—the growth of whole new neurons—in the seahorse-shaped hippocampus, a brain region that is essential for memory. But while neurogenesis in the adult hippocampus likely contributes to the ability to learn and remember, Karl Deisseroth of Stanford University and others had suggested5 that it might also necessitate a certain amount of forgetting. Just as a forest has room for only so many trees, the hippocampus can hold only so many neurons. New brain cells might crowd the territory of other neurons or even replace them altogether, which could in turn break or reconfigure the small circuits that likely store individual memories. Perhaps, then, the especially high rate of neurogenesis in infancy was partly responsible for childhood amnesia."

And this also explains why I always try to schedule my long runs after the calls to my mother (they are stressful), and add more miles if I have more stress in my life in general:

"when adults ran on a hamster wheel after the shocks—thereby stimulating neurogenesis—they started to mirror infants in their forgetfulness. Prozac, which also encourages neural growth, had the same effect. Conversely, when the researchers hindered neurogenesis in infant mice with drugs or genetic engineering, the young animals formed much more stable memories."
I'm not familiar with the details of copyright law. But I would think that Linus has contributions in all part of the kernel. It should be possible for him to claim copyright ownership on all of these part, effectively making it impossible for anyone to legitimately use any of those parts of the kernel against his will. Since that probably (!) also means some essential core parts, I would consider that nobody legitimately uses Linux against Linus's will.

He still cannot claim copyright ownership of the whole though, since he did not create everything in the kernel. Commits from other authors still have their own copyright.

I got a lot out of "Essentials of Programming Languages" (2nd edition, at the time) by Friedman, Wand and Haynes.

It has a great quote from Hal Abelson in the foreword, too:

Thanks for the analysis!

On a side note: might it be the case that the Go codebases you've worked with are just newer/smaller than the Python ones? Do you work with Go systems that feel as much legacy as you've encountered with Python?
Highly Detailed Compositions of Surreal and Fantastical Architecture
Didn't see anything for Haskell so I'll do that. Good link in general would be https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/haskell-data-science-good-bad...

- Python is established for Data Science vs Haskell
You could use Haskell for whatever models you need (although finding 10-20 people for that might be a challenge) and it would be really easy to refactor for any changes you might have but I dunno if data science is something you'd use Haskell for. Most data science applications I can think of are either scripts to inspect/clean data (Python works well) and the rest involve a lot of trial and error (Haskell errors aren't great).

- Haskell libraries are awesome
You could use Haskell for whatever important libraries you use on a regular basis - it's incredibly easy to write APIs for different languages in Haskell (which is great if you switch languages for some particular use) and it's easy to refactor (which is important in a new company that's likely to change a lot). Also, it's a lot harder to write shitty core libraries in Haskell.

I'd honestly recommend sticking to whatever language you already have code in. If you already have python models built, stick to them!
In the UK at least, 2 isn't true, loads of universities do follow ups to find out where you are and what you earn and then advertise their post-degree employment rates.

I, perhaps cynically, think some universities have even started "hacking" that process. In Nottingham you can hire graduates from either of our 2 big universities where the University pays part of their salary! [1]

Ask HN: Are tech companies too powerful to get broken up?
Very interesting thread. I want to know how to measure effectiveness, beyond "got a job". I think there is more to it than that, and getting a job doesn't work as a yardstick in many contexts (e.g. most commercial training where everyone already has a job.)

"99% of people, when left long blocks of time alone to work on something without anyone to be accountable to, will watch Netflix." I have to agree with this, and yet the appeal remains a deep mystery to me.

It's also worth noting that a number of those points are specific to the US system. Basically anything involving money. The maximum tuition LambdaSchool (OP's school) charges for six months is almost enough for three years of tuition here in the UK, or about 50 years in Germany.
Ask your data scientists, who already use Python.

If they are opposed to Haskell or Go, then what are you going to do - fire them? Are you budgeting time/money to retrain them?

Your customers don't care what you use, unless you are selling them the actual software. (But then you would know what your customers want, and wouldn't be asking this question.

If you use language X because of a perceived marketing advantage that your customers will see you as "a cutting-edge, next-generation company" then can you estimate how much that marketing is worth? And compare it to other marketing approaches?

My view, as a long-time Python user, is of course Python.
Great question, and no good answer exists. That why it should be avoided in such studies.

What’s the nicest looking IRC client these days?

I lately only ever use any chat client sporadically so I’m out of touch, but may be needing a platform soon.

You might want to give uMatrix a try. It can be a bit of a pain at times, but in my experience, it catches autoplay videos quite reliably, as well as a lot of ads.
Why Cisco Should – And Should Not – Acquire Pure Storage
> That the Constitution provides a process for amendment is proof that its framers intended for it to be amended. That they specifically laid out certain things which could not be amended indicate that they intended for it to be possible to amend anything and everything else. That the amendment procedure was itself not included in the list of unamendable things includes it in the list of amendable things. Therefore the list of unamendable things is in the scope of amendments as something which may be amended

This makes no sense to me but is pretty common thinking. It's crazy that we expect the original authors of the Constitution to have considered every possibility exhaustively.

To put the idea in a different context, if I fail to blacklist a particular string in my webapp, does that mean I intended to let it through? Or could it be possible that, through negligence, a lack of research, or some other reason, that the string was omitted in error?

OP must have little idea or has given little thought to how hard it can be to maintain on-going support for a feature a very, very tiny percentage of customers use.

On the other hand, if you pushed him harder and he committed it, you would probably have felt even more guilty. You did what you thought was the right thing, don't blame yourself.
Finding good developers is a struggle, almost regardless of where in the world you've set up shop. So finding 10-20 good developers, a significant portion of whom would have to be quite senior, probably means your "3. Availability of developers" should be "0. Availability of developers".

Basically, any language / ecosystem that should meet your most basic business and technological requirements should be heavily in contention if it is among the most widespread in the community where you're situated. And similarly, if a language is significantly less common than a language that meets the requirements, you probably shouldn't consider it.

Whether that is Python, Go, Haskell or something altogether different, only you know.
