> There has been no point to SLI in a consumer configuration because there just is not enough I/O bandwidth to support two graphics cards.

For what exactly use case there wasn't enough I/O? In case of gaming you can find dozens of tests that will show there is almost zero difference between 8x or x16 on PCIe 2.0 and in many games you can have x4 without any performance loss.

SLI / CrossFireX failed because they both were vendor lock-in technologies that depend on driver manufacturers doing adjustments for specific games since game developers wouldn't care to spend time to support 1% of PC user base.
Does anyone else find the overwhelmingly positive coverage of Switch and its games a little puzzling?

No, not really. When it comes to videogames, most people don't care about specs, they care about having fun. Yeah, "fun" is subjective, and it's OK that you didn't find the Switch fun after playing two games. Of course, on the other side of that coin, it means you can't discount that other people enjoy the Switch more than you did.

Also, this isn't a zero sum game. The Switch and PS4 can both earn positive coverage.

I may be reading it wrong, but do you perhaps mean the following 'weekly' routine? If you're honestly doing 10.5 hours of exercise per day, then consider me amazed, but 4 hours of swimming per day seems nigh impossible for all but the fittest.

No you can't

I'm in a Ketogenic diet 6 months now (lost 83 pounds so far) and although i'm eating the same amount of calories (and even more) as i did before i started i'm losing weight non stop, no exercise , no intermittent fasting, NO-THING!

>>The possible search space and possible combination can be huge even with chemistry

Again search/combination space argument suggests there is a process that resets to 0 and moves to the last possible state incrementally, and that process repeats endlessly until a desirable state is reached, avoiding previously reached final states.

The problem with the above argument is words like 'reset', 'desirable state'.

In reality there is no 'search space'. Its really uni directional chemical reactions that go on, each one happening now was due to the reactions before. These reactions go on until you reach a set of chemicals that either just don't react with each other, or the chemical reactions just continue seemingly forever.

Out come of some these reactions could be life.

Hello Marco,

That's a great way of using accessibility tools & automation.

To solve this pain point - one of our friend has created PlusGuests.

Ask HN: What is your favorite kids book?
I am looking for some recommendations for great books for kids. I remember reading the Little Prince at some point and thinking this was a fantastic book.

For slightly younger kids, The Most Incredible Thing was a great book as was Rosie Revere Engineer.

What books have you found that have a good lesson or moral that your kids or nieces and nephews have really enjoyed?
Yes, I did not say easy. I guess my point was, for my wife it's not that simple.

For me, it is that simple. My point was that for my wife, there are a ton of other considerations she deals with. Sure, they're mainly in her head (though possibly other factors such as gut biome play a role), but large she has more details to factor in when she thinks about "will I be able to do this?". I on the other hand don't. For me, it's exactly as the author described, simple.

Yes, simple does not mean easy, but saying quitting smoking is simple to a smoker is not an honest assessment of their situation.

Most things in life are simple if you ignore reality and speak of life from a bubble.
I would wager that hackernews is probably one of the worst places for misinformation in terms of discussing health/fitness/weight loss.

I am seeing a lot of disregard for exercise and in particular heavy weightlifting which has a ton of benefits to daily life.

The original post itself shows a guy who goes for 1000 kcal deficit which is widely known as being twice as much as the healthy maximum.
> We know that bad things happen to humans when in low/zero-g for more than a month.

This is mainly because humans are adapted to live standing upright in gravitational conditions, with a pressure gradient across their body. If you take animals which are not adapted for this (e.g. large invertebrates from the sea) they're crushed by their own weight when taken out of a buoyant environment.

Even so, that doesn't make it infeasible to live in space for long periods of time. Artificial gravity can be generated with a centrifuge.

However, I would say it's likely that gravity is necessary for life similar to what we are familiar with to form in the first place. Earth's gravity facilitates the existence of dense fluids, allowing for the complex reactions of primordial life.
Despite its enormity, I believe there is nothing amounting to the "OEM electronics industry: annotated manual"

Just like the work culture in a big dotcom is something totally alien to the remaining industry, the way thing work in the Pearl River delta region is very different to the outside world.
It works though. I don't think we disagree much on the principles, but the two concepts are intertwined. If you sit down and stuff your face with e.g. sausage and cheese you will still get an insulin response and you will absolutely gain weight. If you eat well beyond your daily maintenance, I don't care what you're eating, you're going to gain weight.

It's simply a lot easier to tell someone to watch their calorie count and eat good food than it is to tell them to monitor their insulin levels. They get the second bit right if they do the first.
You don't need to create any accounts with Samsung, they already have all your data anyway, linked to your device Id. Your data is safe in their cloud, don't worry. /s
You appear not to understand the concept of a safe word.

The entire point of a safe word is that it is SHORT and MEMORABLE, not long and generic. "I quit the experiment" is a highly generic phrase, easily forgotten. Calling that phrase a "safe word" is absolutely absurd.

Also, even if I accepted your argument that "I quit the experiment" Is somehow a "safe word"-- it still wouldn't be technically correct to say, because it's not a word, it's a phrase / sequence of words. Have you ever heard of a "Safe phrase?" Me neither. That's because making a "safe word" a phrase completely defeats the concept of a safe word. It needs to be short enough to be said and understood in as little time as possible. Making a "safe word" a phrase instead of a short and easily-communicable SINGLE WORD is so deceptive and intellectually dishonest that it's clearly a willful and intentional misunderstanding of the safe-word concept. It's trickery, pure and simple.

Good safe word: "Banana."

Bad safe word: "Stop."

Terrible to the point of being unusable safe word: "I quit the experiment."

Zimbardo's lack of addressing this issue in his so-called "rebuttal": pathetic.
That's a good point... Zimbardo could claim that anything but the agreed-upon safe words were to be understood as part of the act they were hired for. Then, I imagine that it would be very hard to show beyond reasonable doubt intent to actually falsely imprison someone.

However, the original article claimed that the consent form had no such agreement -- Zimbardo merely claimed so in a phone interview.

Furthermore, given that Zimbardo's rebuttal is 18 pages long, you'd think that he'd at least briefly comment on the accusation of potentially criminal behavior.
Interesting!

- Does this have the buffer limitations for file transfer that ssh has? i.e. Can I send near wire speed?

- Which independent third party pen testing and code validation groups have reviewed this?

- Since this does not depend on rsync helpers for file transfers, are there any plans to add multipart transfers similar to lftp's p-get or other mirror sub-system functions? i.e. split a 40gb file into 20 chunks / streams.

- Is the UDP knocker optional? I can think of places that won't work. Captive portals, hotels, some airports, some public wifi, some corp networks.

- What setcap capabilities does this require?

- Any plans to add modules or helpers for things like U2F?

- Any thoughts on centralized management of key trusts? that is the biggest gap in openssh that I know of and the original author of ssh acknowledges. i.e. "who" is really logging in as "who", "where" and how old is that key?
I do not understand what it is and how I would use it. Because as a user, I have spent thirty seconds with it. Not two weeks. So for me, it is not self-explanatory and as a user, rails, react and heroku don't matter. If it is built for you, then my perspective doesn't matter. If it is built for other people, then looking at it through their eyes is important. Good luck.

> as advertised over the skies of Syria

You mean in an uncontested airspace, with no AA to speak about, disregarding any collateral damage because there is no one to hold them accountable (unlike US forces that are panned by US press)? Right, those plane may be fit for that purpose. Meanwhile, US&allies measure up their planes against each other during Red Flag, where both F-22 and F-35 have stellar performances. FIY, the only time Su-s (of Indian airforce) were there they were outgunned pretty heavily and had a very tough time protecting the engines from foreign object damage. Pretty bleak if you ask me
Yes, rigorous fasting might also lead to muscle loss, additionally slowing down the weight loss.

All of the people I know who did reasonable carb counting, stuck to a 8 to 16 hours feeding/fasting period and picked up physical activity (n ~= 5) lost weight in the 5-10kg area.

Anyway, the point I was trying to make was that there are other simple life rules that feel like an epiphany while sounding trivial, e.g. "How I got rid of my debt by spending less than I earn."
Always reminds me of the Wikipedia article that always used to give me a chuckle, since merged: List of wars on concepts[0]

In my case you're 100% spot on with the unhealthy relationship part. I lost around 45kg in slightly less than a year and gained most of it back in the 2 years after.
For the most part, it's due to really bad habits built up over years.

Addictions are interesting things to break - I suspect they're also very different based on the person.
I smoked for close to 10 years before going cold-turkey from 3 packs a day yet the nicotine cravings I had doesn't come close to how badly I crave sweet stuff most of the time.

You're nitpicking this too much. "guy" is used by women and men, and probably others as well though I haven't heard it personally.
I studied so much discrete math in undergrad.

Characteristic polynomials, rook polynomials, derangements, counting, recurrence relations, elementary number theory, elementary p-adic numbers, logic, geometric series, abstract algebra.

I have never needed any of it, and never faced a situation where knowledge or intuition in those topics helped me to think differently about a problem, never faced any type of computational complexity questions that I didn’t solve just by looking various things up as-needed.

The only thing discrete math did for me was help me boost my GRE math score to get into a good math grad program, where I switched to machine learning and MCMC topics.

Very occasionally you might encounter a simple permutation or combination counting argument in a paper or something, but it’s rare.

I enjoy discrete math, but really felt misled about it’s actual usefulness in almost any corporate software / research / engineering job.

If you don’t know this stuff but you can grok most basic counting arguments after looking a few things up on Wikipedia, you’ll be fine. Deeper command of these topics really doesn’t yield economic returns to your effort in almost all cases, unfortunately.
Unless you were morbidly obese, 7 pounds in 7 days isn't a sustainable rate and was probably mostly water weight rather than fat. In order to burn a pound of fat you have to expend about 3500kcal more than you consume; not really possible in a day for most people.
Okay that explains why we can't see them.

Why can't they see us? All the arguments for life say "the universe is so big there has to be more life, and highly advanced civilizations somewhere." Assuming that, sure, we can't see them. But why hasn't some advanced civilization seen us?
Looks like you don’t have a license so I think you could get it taken down if you wanted to.
Of course you can , but if you think living life = pizza, cake, fries, then you will have to make adjustments.

Affection as a service. Automation in 2018 is looking grimmer and grimmer :)
Hello all! I built Fastbmk.com as a fast, lightweight and reliable bookmarking service.
You can create bookmarks with tags and notes. List bookmarks by tag. Search bookmarks. Import and export bookmarks.

Browser addon is available for Firefox and Chrome. Using addon, you can create bookmark and check if the current page is already bookmarked.

I intentionally used a minimal set of web technologies to create a tool for everyday use, which doesn't waste resources of client's computer.

Minimalistic design
Low CPU/Memory usage
Quick server responses

I already use the service on a daily basis and it works just fine. So I invite you to try it too :)
Currently the service is more like a minimum viable product. A lot of features are planned to be implemented in the future.

So your opinion, questions, suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated :)

Ya, for example HookTube.com. Take any YouTube video URL and replace the domain with HookTube.com and it's archived (ex: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pTV2n7fT4fk > https://www.hooktube.com/watch?v=pTV2n7fT4fk). The video isn't a YouTube embed either.
Having an alternative to SSH is appealing, as SSH is pretty much required for most servers but it is also target of most attack vectors. If Oxy becomes production-ready, I'd definitely consider using it so I can block all SSH and eliminate SSH brute force attacks on my servers. As for SSH security, I strongly recommend Fail2Ban, alternate SSH port number, and requiring key-based authentication.
>>You want to eat a lot of veggies, fats (avocado will be your friend) and protein throughout the day in low amounts.

Low carbohydrate/sugar diet seems to be at the core of all health advice today.

Not sure why this was not advised even in latest history.
This seems like a good explaination!
A bit off topic; I'd actively not eat two or three meals a day if I could. I don't find it enjoyable generally, just a waste of time. I love food, but I don't always eat the food I love, so the ones I'm not loving I'd just rather not eat lol. Generally it's not worth the time or money to me.

I'm the type of person Soylent advertises to. I even made my own for a ~year. Keto (mostly low carb for me, not keto) has been a massive boon though. Fats just leave me so much more sated and stable. I highly recommend it if you don't like to eat or want to eat more dense meals.
Most of their UI changes have been user hostile or added dark patterns. For instance where once you got local items and sellers by default, now it defaults to international and you have to change a setting to exclude overseas sellers. Almost everyone will want to shop nationally first. It's the same arrogant "knowing better" seen in Facebook's show recent posts constantly resetting.

Picking out one feature that they haven't ruined is poor consolation. As the other commenter notes Amazon has let you break down into price tiers for years. Most sites I shop at can do this.

eBay search results are better than Amazon however - but that is because Amazon's has become so awful.

I think people underestimate the power of IoT and automation to make independent living possible much longer. I recently installed the basics of my home automation system at my grandma's. Her keeping her thermostat set reasonably was an issue, and I've got the smoke detector on the system as well.

One of the things I'd like to add is the ability to detect natural gas: She doesn't have a lot of gas appliances, but she has no sense of smell, so the usual warning sign for natural gas she'd never notice.

> It's really a relief. No need to decide what to cook after work : it's already decided, and you know you have the right ingredients. Time spend for the shopping is very small.

Nice. I'm using Google Keep for now, and there's probably a much better solution already -- but what I really want is a way to organize my shopping list the way the grocery store is organized so I can zip through it.

Ideally, this would require some collaboration with the store to get the exact layout. But a generic (vegetables first, breads 2nd, canned goods 3rd, ..., milk & dairy last. would also help tremendously.
You will still loose weight if you are in a caloric deficit but you will have other problems.

No need for hacks. 1) Don't eat things in a box or bag, real food only, 2) Caloric deficit.

It's actually very easy, people are just lazy or addicted to poor habits.
We've had EM comms for 100 years. Let's assume life, and civilisations capable of sending comms beyond their solar system have emerged multiple times during the history of the universe.

If civilisations have a shelf life (for whatever reason) and don't exist indefinitely, it's extremely unlikely the timespan of someone transmitting and us receiving would overlap during those 100 years.

Chances of existence/comms overlap are tiny even for the next 1 or 10 million years - even if Earth origin civilisation is still around then.
I totally agree!

You know, for morbidly obese people there is the possibility of stomach stapling. This physically prohibits over eating and lowers how much hunger you feel. The intervention is covered by the public health insurance in my country. And it comes with psychological supervision.

The background is that to a lot of obese people, eating is a coping mechanism and it turns out they get depressed when they no longer can eat as much as they used to.
I use UUIDs as primary keys, you insensitive clod!
I just use an excel spreadsheet that /u/3suns (I believe is his handle) from reddit put together. You just put in your current weight, target weight and a couple other metrics then fill in your current weight and calories consumed each day. It's supposed to have a pretty good estimate of your true TDEE after about three weeks assuming the information you input is good.

Besides that, I wrote a small JS script that allows me to input various foods along with their respective protein/fat/carb macro ratios that I then combine into meals along with a few helper functions that print the total calories based off the macros. It's nothing special but it gets the job done and I don't have to worry about signing up for yet another app or getting bogged down by a bunch of features I don't care about. I'd be happy to push it and a link to the spreadsheet up to a repo if anyone else would be interested in using them.
