The question wasn’t if it applies but if it’s in an explicit violation.

The 4th Geneva convention has allows for rellocation and deportation of the local population both within and outside the occupied area in support of military operations.

And why the rest would be a problem for you? BDS doesn’t want a peace treaty in its own FAQ it states that its demands are not tied to any peace process between the Palestinians and the Israelis nor will it stop if a peace is reached until all its demands are met amongst those are a full right of return and the abolishment of Israel as a Jewish national state.

The PA collapsing is essentially a dream case scenario for extreme groups like BDS since it will escalate the situation further.
Caloric restriction may not be the "optimal" diet, but it's still "true". Anyone who's taking grade 10 physics can tell you exactly why the difference between calorie input and calorie output equals your change in weight. It simply cannot be untrue -- you body cannot disappear energy without it going "out", and it can't create energy without it coming "in".

The linked article is a good explanation of why IF works; I don't disagree. But you can't say, "The key to weight loss is not to reduce calories"... because reducing calories is literally the only way you will ever lose weight.
This is a great idea. I've been on a several year cycle where every 3-4 years I go hardcore again and cut 20-30 lbs with minimizing meal variability and exercising constantly. This feels like a great solution for the intermediate time of trying to slow/stop my general daily increase of 10-20% increase in calorie intake. Even having a small, easy habit like using a mechanical tracker would make me more mindful of what I eat and have a beneficial impact.
I think it's a very common pattern now - to use courts as substitute for policymaking, since finding one judge that would issue necessary injunction, whatever it is, is easier than assembling a broad coalition to pass the decision through legislative/executive branches. It is also very wrong and very corrosive to the respect to the rule of law - if judges turn from independent arbiters watching for rules of the game into partisan players that use their power to bend the game to their side, eventually they'd have as much respect as other rank-and-file politicians, and that's not a very good place for the country to be in.
I agree it shouldn't be controversial, but you seem to also think there shouldn't be an article at all? I think it's newsworthy - it's not major news, but it's a useful thing to know for at least some people.

I haven't found feature discovery to be one of the assistant's strong points, so little articles like this help with that.
I'm ok with your rant. Whether I agree with your point or not the irrelevant to my point.

Can you at least recognize at least a little irony that group that typically advocates the loudest for swinging Uncle Sam's dick around whenever possible seem to be looking the other way when a foreign adversary is undermining our country and in the process diminishing our influence?

You know that guy that always yelling about America being number 1, wearing an American flag, living in the greatest and most powerful country in the world, complaining about the UN won't do everything the USA wants whenever it wants? Same person is at least ignoring, and more likely welcoming, Putin's help in getting Trump like GOP politicians elected. And in the process we have less sway with our allies in Europe. It's pretty extraordinary isn't it?
Is it anything like the Chinese credit system? Seems the two could share the notes.
I’d imagine the large contingent of hyper-pro-Tesla people who argue virulently against an any thing that makes Tesla/Elon look bad.

He’s turned into an almost political topic in that way, unfortunately.
The best way to read more books is reading books that you enjoy rather than just because you have the urge to finish it, no doubt.
While I completely agree with you on the general puffery of most of these diet book people, note that Fung comes at this from having treated thousands of people for diabetes, with a great deal of success. I think you should take a closer look at his writing, which is fact-based and extensive.

The eating six times a day advice IS advice I have repeatedly heard and I have known many people who follow it. The idea that we should be eating lots of carbohydrates IS conventional advice if you consider the medical community's decades of instruction that we should not eat fat or meat: the only remaining macronutrient that most westerners will eat is carbohydrates. The popular prevalence of keto and paleo and Atkins makes people forget that the prevailing medical advice STILL effectively directs people to a high carb, low calorie diet.

Calories-in-calories out isn't wrong, but it is incomplete. It doesn't explain why the "Biggest Loser" winners see their base line calorie consumption drop way below what you'd expect for someone of their new weight. It doesn't explain why some people NEVER have to diet while other go through life starving but still gain weight. If it were just "calories in calories out", you wouldn't see these anomalies. In short, it doesn't explain hunger.

Fung's insulin theory has good science behind it and fits well with a lot of historical observations, such as the increase in sugar in our diets. And the ADF diet study had incredibly good results.
I’m also reading more books than I ever have — and I have kids. Partly it’s because the library is a fun thing for us to do as a family, but also because it’s easier for me to wind down with a book than a screen when they go to bed.

I tend to check out more books than I’ll actually read, looking for the ones that really grab me; I read those through to completion. The ones that change me fundamentally, I buy a copy to hold on to.

I did the Marie Kondo discarding thing with books a couple of years back and it opened up a lot of shelf space; it’s very useful for keeping an always rotating stack of books from the library.
Yes, but I'm talking about this as a general principle (as is the person I replied to I assume, given that he said "people in Brazil won't know about 9/11", not "people in Brazil will need to find an alternative news source to find out about 9/11".
Well, I completely agree that it doesn't go far enough (that's Massachusetts for you...) but it's a start. The article also specifies that laid-off workers are exempt.
If it's $80K a week, isn't that more like ~50 full-time employees for a year?

You're speaking with someone who has had success. I've had success using both keto / Atkins and if it fits your macros (basically calorie counting with more tracking). I would be happy to share my experience with you / provide advice if you would like. Alternatively, please feel free to refer to my post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15604761
I was addressing two separate points, the effect of liberal democracy on Russia and the NATO expansion being treated as a threat. I probably should have made that more clear.

We noticed this recently with the Quip toothbrush. The whole concept is reasonable, and I get that they're limited to some degree by hygiene regulations, but it's just nuts that your brush tip "refill" shows up every three months in a think, nalgene-bottle-like enclosure. Which is apparently itself recyclable, but it feels like there's got to be a better way.

Awesome, I had a play with getting containerd running without Docker a little while back and it all worked, just required a bit more effort than Docker :) It'll be interesting to see what happens as more k8s options adopt it

> If the law says you have to have the deed and the note to foreclose, how can the court ignore this?

Simple: that's not what the law says. At least not in Idaho.

According to the court's opinion, what the law says is that a trustee who forecloses must meet four specific requirements. None of those requirements equate to proving that you have "standing" (which was what Trotter alleged was required) to foreclose.

However, the first of the four requirements (p. 5 of the court's opinion) is: "The trust deed, any assignments of the trust deed by the trustee or the beneficiary and any appointment of a successor trustee are recorded in mortgage records in the counties in which the property described in the deed is situated". Since the main concern given in the article is that MERS and similar arrangements are circumventing the recording of who owns or has claims on real property in the local jurisdictions, it would appear that in the Trotter case, that concern was not present, since the relevant claim information was recorded in the local jurisdiction; the trustee who forecloses has to be the one whose trust deed is filed with the county for that property.
That's true, but the 2% chance of someone making your life miserable is unfortunate.
It's quite simple - if you can't pay off your student debt with the skills you paid for, it's generally undesirable by outside world.

Whether English or history is somewhat useful is irrelevant - pretty much any area of knowledge is. They clearly are not in high demand.
>So what? They talk about it like it is a bad thing.

How do you expect them to be "world leaders" in manufacturing technology when they have to rework so many cars? Remember, the narrative is that no one can do it as well as they can. Huge margins!

>who cares about the details of the manufacturing process?

Yeah, who cars about the manufacturing process when your whole business is manufacturing...
That's like saying cancer is good because it means fewer die of old age (fine print: because they are already dead).

Also, multinationals are the ones that can bend the telecom monopolies to their advantage and crush competition.
I've used App Engine for side projects, and small personal projects that only I use. It's great. I've wrote mostly everything in Go, and a little Python.

So far I've been billed $0.00. The free tier is quite generous, and probably plenty for most low traffic endeavors.
Having poor FPY means difficulty scaling, which is indeed one of Tesla's problems--their production scales not-quite-linearly with the number of bodies they throw at the problem.
I'm excited to see all of the animal-alternative food companies coming through the pipeline. This space is really undergoing a renaissance.

I think most people would choose alternatives if they had similar taste, texture and price to "the real deal". Best of luck to them.
Yes. Amazon sued former employees, for example:

Yeah. I'm no expert, but it's my intuition that the hindsight of WW1 and WW2, combined with the existence of the UN and of nuclear weapons, would be enough to change things. But who knows.

At the very least, with how much money America dumps into its military, I think dominating our economy is simply a path of less resistance than trying to dominate our military.
1. Only the wealthy can fight companies with success. People like Trump.

2. Since the companies own our politicians through donations/lobbyists; all we have is BBB, and Yelp. Not good tools?

The Federal Trade commission seems to sit back, until a case hits their fancy. The guy who was making it difficult to stop automatic payments on boner pills comes to mind.

3. Personally I would like to see Credit agencies give all people three strikes. You would have three times to just not make a payment, and it wouldn't affect your credit every ten years.

5. It should be easier to take a out of state corporation to Small Claims court.

6. Forced arbitration laws should be nixed.

7. Our bankruptcy laws need to be reformed. I feel they are pretty fair, except the primary home should be out of any creditor's reach--for any reason except blatant fraud-- lying about income on a preapproved cc application is not a serious offense. Serious fraud like lying on a mortgage application, or a large business loan. (I don't want to debate our lovely CC industry. IMO they all need an a serious ass kicking.)

In Texas, creditors can't touch your primary residence during a bankruptcy.

The rest of the states don't offer that. Creditors can easily attach your home. Hospitals routinely show up at bankruptcy hearings in order to get their money, along with the other big companies.

A primary home shouldn't be a target.

Small companies to perk up with "Charge Backs". Big companies could care less?
In Feb, this year, got severe coughing, went to the doctor just to find out I had really high blood sugar. Next thing - do as I did 10+ years ago - cut all carbs/sugar - 6 months later, on (I guess) keto diet - I'm from 320 -> 275lbs - without calorie restriction - e.g. I eat as I like.

For some unknown reason cholesterol also went down. My only "gym" exercise are walking the dog - mile, two or three a day. Iron mind #2, #2.5 and #3 and few more like it, and recently started again doing occasional push-ups, pull-ups, dips, etc.

I know that once I get back into shape, and start going to the real gym, and hit the legs - I'll lose even more :)

The alternative is to nationalize Facebook. Facebook is destroying our society and if the government doesn’t realize it yet, then Facebook will become our government.
It's particularly easy to mislead by only collecting data that supports a given position. This is why heterodoxy is so important in the academy, and why it's so concerning that certain fields are so hostile toward unorthodox points of view.
It would be nice if everyone did that, but I don't actually believe that they will. Oh well...

It would be nice if everyone had the wherewithal to. It would be nice if they did that it would have a lasting impact. There are a few problems though.

"The Machine" is set up so that we don't have the time or money to actually fight these claims. I certainly can't miss time from work to deal with much of this. Maybe if it'll bankrupt me either way, but for every little error I've come across, the lost time and wages aren't worth it financially. Am I going to go into debt to sue someone just to prove a point? No. That would be a terrible use of my resources.

Also, these agreements we enter into are written with technicalities built in. To expose them would take an intricate knowledge of contract law. Companies rely on this imbalance of knowledge and power to take advantage of us. Even if there is a successful claim it's not like it would automatically set a precedent or retroactively void existing contracts or prevent new loopholes to be written into new contracts.

Action from private citizens is a band-aid here. Something needs to come from a higher power. It would be great to have a government that works for us in this regard, but they side with big business here. It sucks, but it's a reality of the machine.
Not sure why you’re downvoted when you’re right. The senate is meant to be the equalizer, where all states are on equal footing. The House is intended to favor more populous regions. It’s not that the people of the US don’t have as much of a say as they should — it’s that they don’t have _any_ say, anywhere.

It seems significantly cheaper than stopping production to fix the initial problem, test it, ensure it doesn't cause any other problems, ensure it doesn't upset the supply chain, ensure it is reliable, and more.
> The states are doing what they can to limit damaging actions by the federal government.

Or rather, absence of action in this case.

> This is the system working for the people.

The system working for the people would be the states to make their own legislation. Using courts to force federal government to take action that elected executive and elected legislature do not support is not system working.

> Currently, trying to pass meaningful legislation is like trying to squeeze a watermelon through a pinhole.

Legislature is complex and hard. Not the reason to try and make courts into its replacement. That's not how the system is supposed to work, and doing that will result in a system even more broken than now.
This might be slightly off topic, and I’m really all for democracy, but I do worry that the system is losing its competitive edge in the age of reputation. It’s just way too easy for an organized party to spread maliciously fake information and sow discord among the populace. We saw this at work with Russia’s Twitter accounts that claim to be from Texas, England, and other Western worlds, writing subtle hate tweets against refugees, Muslims, BREXIT proponents/opponents, etc. Thing is, it’s not just Russia that’s doing this. There is a German study that found social/political bots that root for Japan’s nationalist agenda [1]. South Korea has been having similar issues on their biggest websites. And I’m willing to bet there are organized parties within America that benefit from social division as well.

A non-democratic society is probably better equipped to move forward amidst all the chaos (and in preventing chaos in the first place), whereas a democratic one may be much more likely to tear itself apart from inside out.

These days if you are a local or small to medium business and you aren't on these sites, you practically don't exist. Then again, this censorship isn't averted even if they are regulated by the government. I imagine Alex Jones would also have a hard time getting a 30 second ad on public access televison, despite however much money he was offering.
You might be right that this is true for some startups. But it's also true that there are other startups that will keep going regardless of whether they get rejected by Startup School or YC proper.

As a founder of a startup that would have been rejected, I'm looking forward to getting the most I can out of Startup School.
Calling a democratically chosen leader to congratulate him? Travesty!
It definitely affects labor productivity.
"Impulsively calling rescuers 'pedos'" and "impulsively violating securities laws with false claims about secured funding for going private in order to screw short-sellers" are just about the opposite of "doing fine".

Edit: the heck? How is that not evidence against "Elon doing fine"? Is this just "don't feed the trolls", or auto-downvotes of anything anti-Musk?
> It would be nice if everyone did that, but I don't actually believe that they will. Oh well...

That presupposes that billing errors are common enough that it's actually worth your time to ferret them out. I don't think you can take that as a given. In a country of 300 million people, with instant communication on the web, you can easily find thousands of instances of billing errors and other abuses. But what are the odds, statistically, of you actually being on the receiving end of one? Because that's what drives the equation of whether it's worthwhile to push back.
I've seen electric companies bill like that to reflect the realities of power generation and usage, but it's applied equally to all consumers of electricity at the time of day.

Using 1000w of electricity with a 1950's toaster cost the same as using 1000w of electricity with a 2018 microwave.

And hopefully it would cost the same to use 1000w of electricity to power your home server hosting a website that criticizes the local electricity company.
Except that, due to gerrymandering, the ratios of our federal representatives don't match the ratios of the population.
Instead of bailing out the banks after the crisis, the government could have decided to do something like this and sever the loans. Let people keep one home (the cheapest if they had more than one) and let the banks take the fall for what was completely their own fault. They didn't. They decided that these banks should continue to fuck people over in the same way, passed a few laws to prevent it for a few years and that's about it. They claimed these banks were "too big to fail," a moniker no one understands because it's absurd and doesn't make any sense. If anyone deserves to be fucked over it's these banks who fucked the rest of us over royally.
Good run down what GAE offers. The point I'd like to add and emphasise on is zero downtime deploys.
A friend has a Tesla without a back bumper because it fell off when it rained. She's not alone, either.

Tesla's saying Tesla should sacrifice completeness because Tesla chose to sacrifice completeness. And a car with a bumper that falls off in the rain is in some way one of incomplete or unfinished.
Auto-hover technology does exist, but it's not common. Also the pilot has to be able to do it manually in case the autopilot fails, and so most pilots will elect to do it manually at least some of the time just to stay in practice.
That's just nonsense. You can argue about the degree of fake news coming from each party but they do it both when it's convenient.
I'm a walking example of why it's not true in a more pragmatic sense.

I used to weigh 350 pounds, every diet I tried was just caloric restriction nonsense that just fed insulin resistance (thus making anyone who tries that without actual diet modification a dead walking zombie until they give up on the diet and remain fat)....

So, for exactly one year, I did something new: I cut out all grains, refined sugars, dairy, and legumes, but kept CICO the same.

After the end of one year, I weighed 214 (and kept going after the end of that year until 184). I do not exercise enough to explain losing 544 thousand calories (or about 1490 a day), nor did my diet suddenly drop 1490 calories (as I regularly eat 2000-2200 calories a day, before and after the diet modification).

Afterwards, I realized two things were true: one, the calories in the little nutrition facts panel is wrong, based on very outdated science; and two, some foods contain chemicals that trick your body into increasing the rate at which carbs are transformed into fat.

Once I quit tricking my body into shoving everything I ate into fat cells, I felt like I had lot more energy, my brain worked better, the fat just melted away, and I feel better than I ever have.

Unless you truly have an eating disorder, you don't need to count calories. You need to just stop eating foods that cause you to be fat. It isn't how much, but what.

The only problem I've found is people asking me what I did to lose the weight, and I tell them, and they look at me like I eat babies and worship Satan. "You stopped eating grains and refined sugars? But-but-but my doctor said count calories, he said nothing about grains and refined sugars! You must be wrong, or you're lying!"

So yeah, you're fat because you want to be fat. There's an effective way out there, it worked for me when nothing else would and it was the lowest effort diet I ever did. Don't fucking shoot the messenger when he's giving you good news.

Edit: and for the record, I was pre-diabetic at 350, was on my way to getting diabetes, which runs in my family (no, no one runs in my family), and now I have zero clinical signs of ever having had chronic insulin resistance (which is what being pre-diabetic, or having metabolic syndrome, means).
