I don't think many people believe there are "secrets" involved, but there are many factors which make sticking to a diet easier for people.

The linked page talks about this quite a bit - Trying to control for hunger, fullness, desire to eat, etc.

"This was a randomized crossover, isocaloric and eucaloric study. That is, all patients did both arms of the study eating the same foods and the same calories and then compared against themselves. ... Those who restricted late-night eating had less desire to eat, but also less capacity to eat. They couldn’t eat more at night even if they wanted to. That’s amazing, because now we are working with our body to lose weight instead of constantly fighting it. "

Respectfully, I'm not really sure I understand how your critique applies to this article?

>As I said, the issue is statistics based "knowledge". What you just said just continues down that path, so of course it does not solve the problem, actually makes it worse because now we throw more randomness at randomness and get random matches - but still not one bit more understanding.

You seem to be saying that nothing is gained with statistics knowledge, and attempting to use better statistics is just throwing "randomness upon randomness." If this isn't true, then you are being unclear. All of your criticisms about statistics are very vague, and do not cite any specific problems.

I gain understanding from "statistics-based knowledge." If you do not, then that is a problem you should solve by reading more about these issues.
Yup. Standards from that age were written with friendly, cooperative actors in mind. The Internet is no longer a friendly place. Unfortunately, you can't just force people to not be greedy.

(Clickbait itself is an example of that. You absolutely can get to the point in the title. But most media sources don't, because it's not their goal to inform you - their goal is to just exploit you for all they can.

Thanks for your work on RSS. I can't stand the current news environment and have gone back to RSS for tuning into the news I care about. It's the only way I have to curate a list of sources- cutting popular sources I don't like and including super-niche sources I love. (I also like how data-lite it tends to be!)

Shout-out to one of those niche sources, for example:

This is the sort of thing that should absolutely be baked in at the lowest reasonable level.

Browser-level requests for camera/mic permission are obviously nice, and it's even better to see OSX offer the request to catch more cases and prevent workarounds. Requests for control transfers are also an obvious improvement; at a certain point the easiest way to curtail sandbox escapes without restricting normal functionality is to just talk to the user.

Honestly, a same-circuit "camera on" light is my preferred solution to this whole question, and I'd be happy to see the mic get a separate light or be tied into the camera circuit.
> There are no secrets to weight loss. Eat fewer calories than you burn. It doesn't matter if that involves keto, or vegan, or one meal a day. Thyroid problems also don't change physics.

Unfortunately that is not true. Different foods are metabolised differently. It is not just "calories in, calories out".
If I eat 5 burgers a day and reduce it to 2 a day, I will lose weight. However, no amount of burgers is good.

For more than a decade I had been fasting intermittently. I ate one very huge meal everyday. Typical Indian meal with fair bit of non-veg included. I was not in the best health possible.

A year ago, I got rid of non-veg from my diet. Things improved a bit, but I wanted better results. One month ago, I went fully raw - only raw fruits and no vegetables. I lost many pounds and everybody notices, my sinus troubles have vanished, I feel and look good overall.

I eat more than ever, but am losing weight.
Because it wasn’t and that’s not the point. Everybody already knows a caloric deficit results in weight loss. The point, and the control, was that the same person, eating the exact same caloric intake exhibited different outcomes solely based on the time of day the ate.
The act of generosity that changed the world (2013)
Totally. I'm not convinced that keto is any more efficient at burning fat, but eating my normal meat-starch-vegetable meals without the starches probably cuts 1000 calories per day out, so there's the calorie restriction. The magic comes in where I'm not ready to gnaw my arm off or murderously hangry on that amount of calories, versus trying to just eat less of the full blend.
Well nows the time to do it before you get too much traction.
People had stable weight without any special knowledge for most of human history. It's something we generally should know how to do automatically. It's very strange to compare it to spaceflight, as if we're only just now discovering how to do it. This just goes back to OP's point. There's a lot of energy being spent on making weight gain and loss be some mysterious, inscrutable thing. Now we're comparing it to space flight?
Hiding that one or both parents are not the biological parents from the child is one thing. A child finding out about that, while serious, not that devastating and a pretty common event.

The father not knowing that the child is not his is a different ball of wax. The mother will always know the child is hers or not (baby switching in hospitals and other rare events excepted). What percentage of children have fathers that are not their biological fathers and the father doen't know it? I have no idea, but this fact being discovered via DNA is going to really hurt a lot of relationships from each discovery.

In this case it would be getting back home seeing a note saying "Fixed :)".

So yes, it's actually fixed, but now you know that someone you don't know broke into your house without permission nor supervision and you don't know what he's done/seen/stolen in your house.
> It involves testosterone/estrogen and an enzyme called lipoprotein lipase.

This is just a variation of the thyroid problem reasoning. Hormone changes with age or thyroid issues might change your resting metabolic rate over time by 100-200 calories per day (a single candy bar of calories). But that doesn't curse you to be fat, which is what I am trying to disprove. You will then need to adjust your intake/exercise level accordingly to the new resting metabolic rate.
Yep. They have serious regression issues. Sometimes things that are fixed get broken again, and updates often break other things.

Other vendors have similar issues, so it's not just a Mikrotik problem, but while with other vendors it's uncommon, I almost expect it from Mikrotik.
There's a rather large movement of strength athletes using intermittent fasting as a tool without these issues.

Glycogen stores aren't easily depleted by day to day life, a regular 8 hour window every day wouldn't affect your evening weight lifting routine. It could affect post-workout only by increasing the time for the glycogen stores to be refilled, but not to such an extent that it would affect your next session.

As for protein after workout, this is largely nonsense. The body is more than capable of regulating it's own protein synthesis over the course of days with both the protein you obtain from food and the stores of broken down proteins from your body. Amount of protein consumed (and type) is the relevant factor and timing plays no significant part unless you are a at a level where you are considered a pro athlete and you're probably attending competitions.
There are other benefits beside weight loss. Changing the way you eat seems to be linked to a lot of part of your system.

Except that in many cases the BMC does not exposed to the internet, especially in situations where you get a dedicated server from somewhere and they want to give you low-level access to make changes to the server you are renting.

I know of at least 2 places where this is still the case (that or a remote IP KVM...).

The BMC should be on a trusted network, but most likely isn't.
Facebook investigation
If you break it down into carbs, fats and protein, calorie in calorie out model does wonders. OP is right, weight loss is hard work. Frankly, people want to believe that there is an alternate method because a lot of them are just lazy.

Also, it's easier to maintain weight than to loose/gain weight. So once you have lost that weight, it's much easier to be at that weight. Of course you lost a huge amount of weight in a short span, this won't be true.
> It's nearly impossible to accurately gauge calorie intake without strict calorie counting.

Yes, but you can get most of the way there just by counting for a while, so that you build a model in your head for how many calories different foods have. Unless you've counted before, the results can be surprising. Stopping at Starbucks for a snack and deciding between a cake pop [0] and the chocolate chip cookie [1]? The cookie has 380 more calories.

Thinking about grabbing a quick lunch and trying to decide between a burger from Shake Shack or a burrito at Chipotle? That burrito could easily have 1200+ calories [2]. The burger has 530. [3] (A bowl without rice at Chipotle, on the other hand, can have as few calories as the burger. So, again, knowing that difference can help you make better choices.)

These are just random examples from my own life, recently. Knowing these differences makes a difference (especially over the course of many meals).

>Tough decisions like this are the way you end up with a great product.

Decisions like this are making Firefox an inferior product. Proxy API are terrible post-Quantum, so there's no decent Proxy switching addon. Tab Groups are gone, existing plugins are way inferior. Every feature they remove is replaced by way inferior workarounds which make browsing a pain.

I wonder if “Strategic Lack of Log Retention” would make a good conference topic.

The problem with what Google is doing is that they are insinuating that a lack of evidence is evidence of lack. This is not unlike when companies like Equifax claim “we have no evidence...”

We should not be rewarding companies for strategically avoiding culpability.
Cities aren't inherently expensive. Even in some of the richest and most prosperous cities in our human history, there have always been people less well off that could afford to live there. The only reason we have this concept of cities that only exist for a certain class of people is because we have deliberately made them that way.

People don't choose cities the way they choose a home. This isn't like someone thinking they have to live in a nice apartment when all they can afford is a nice apartment.

Cities are places where people can choose to live, but more likely than not they are where they haven't chosen to live. Their choice to stay is a choice to be with family that they need or that needs them. Or a choice to advance a career that they are unlikely to find elsewhere. Or to stay in a place that is culturally important to them.

We can afford to give people the possibility of not having to leave a place that they love, or comfortably afford a city they can't leave for whatever reason. It may mean that some people don't get rich off of rent-seeking housing markets, but it is entirely possible, and we should do it. It isn't any more entitled to want to do so than it was for our entire nation to want Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness when we didn't have it.
Seems like it's a pretty good opportunity to get funding and try out a lifestyle business.
By that argument you could say that Silicon Valley and its clustering of technology firms are dead weight. All that matters is the people and their connections right?

Thanks for the feedback! The interesting thing about the CSS grid is that the cells are not actual empty elements, but we want to represent the cells visually somehow to help with affordance. We'll be adding some much needed enhancements to the copy-paste interaction (I mean, it's so fundamental) soon, like giving you the ability to select these non-existent cells so that you can paste inside of them. Let us know if there's anything else that can be improved.

The next big release will include grids with contents that auto-flow vs having to always manually position them.
At least from what we see on webflow.com (> 1MM sessions a month) there have only been 595 IE11 sessions according to GA, so that's less than 0.06%.

Windows7 had 6.8% of all sessions but seems like most of them are using a modern browser.

All really good signs for web developers out there!
As opposed to Microsoft ramming updates down your throat whether you like them or not, and whether they break things or not?

The lock on your house door is 'opt-in'. If you don't lock it and someone steals something, is it the lock manufacturer's fault? The home builder's fault? Did they construct an insecure house? Ignorance of the proper operation of the lock is not an excuse not to lock it and doesn't shift the responsibility to someone else.

I don't know why people happily assume everything in IT is secure by default when in the real world, almost nothing is secure by default.
> There are no secrets to weight loss. Eat fewer calories than you burn. It doesn't matter if that involves keto, or vegan, or one meal a day. Thyroid problems also don't change physics.

You seem focused on the physics and materialist viewpoint, but it seems like you are taking that line of reasoning just far enough where we can be judgmental and snarky about "secrets."

What if we take your thinking a little farther and think about the brain chemistry and drives that affect behavior. We are just materialistic machines, right?

Ever seen a sick person who just doesn't want to eat? Or a skinny person with little interest in food? Ever try to hold your breath for 3 minutes? This should, in theory, for the average person be possible. But for some reason it is really really hard.

What if, these diets don't affect the physics of weight loss, they affect the hunger drive--the chemicals in the brain? Do we still get to ride our moral high-horse then?

Or what if there are drives and chemicals in the brain and even the metabolism itself fights back.

Sounds like donations helped (maybe). Oh and Stackpath. Kudos to them, too.
The human body as a machine is actually quite a lot more complex than any current human invention. We're not even close to fully understanding everything. So, the analogy to space flight serves to show that it's as naive to imply there's no subtlety beyond "it doesn't matter what you eat, just the calorie count" as it would be to imply "it doesn't matter what rocket fuel you use".

> People had stable weight without any special knowledge for most of human history.

A lot of food products highly available today would be rather foreign to most of human history: artificially high sugar, high cab, low fat, snacks everywhere, etc.

These trick our taste and hunger systems into eating more of less quality foods than we would "naturally" if exposed only to less "engineered" foods, like pure meat and vegetables.

> It's something we generally should know how to do automatically.

Maybe we should, but clearly we do not. At least with modern processed foods that are optimized and designed to maximally stimulate our flavor response while compromising nutrition/health (generally).
An attacker accessing your balance would be considered abuse. The analogy doesn’t fit.
I don't think it's a bad idea, my main objection is seeing it as a technical problem. It's not - making a more basic browser is a solved problem. What you really need to solve is the economics problem; specifically, the two-sided market of users and publishers. Users have an incentive to use it, but what incentive do website makers have to join?

Google - for good or ill - was able to push AMP because they have the power to reward the sites that complied. You need something similar.

To add on to this, here's a simple thought experiment to explain why spinning is different from constant velocity:

Imagine you're off somewhere space. You're holding a ball in each hand.

1. You're motionless with reference to the Earth. You let go of the balls. They stay put.

2. You're moving away from the earth with a constant velocity. You let go of the balls. They continue to move at the same velocity as you do: This is indistinguishable from case 1.

3. You're accelerating away from the Earth (using rocket boots). You let go of the balls. They do not continue to accelerate with you.

4. You're motionless with respect to Earth, except that you're spinning. Think of the fastest you've ever spun. You'll be really dizzy when you stop. You let go of the balls. They fly off into space, because in order to stay spinning, they need acceleration toward the center of the spin plane. By letting them go, you stop that acceleration, and their trajectory changes (or really, their trajectory change stops).

Velocity is all relative, but acceleration is not. Spinning is acceleration.

---

Here's another example:

You occupy a cosmos consisting only of you and an apple. You accelerate away from the apple for a moment, then stop accelerating. You now have a constant velocity away from the apple, but it's meaningless to say which of you is actually moving. You each perceive the other as moving away at constant velocity.

Now imagine you start spinning. You feel like you're spinning, and visually, you perceive the apple orbiting you at a bizarrely fast rate. From the apple's perspective, you are spinning. These two perceptions are not symmetric.

Honestly, a same-circuit "camera on" light is my preferred solution to this whole question, and I'd be happy to see the mic get a separate light or be tied into the camera circuit.

The problem is that this doesn't help if you have a desktop machine, but you are not literally sitting behind it to notice the light. Software could still eavesdrop on conversations during that time.

The nice thing about Micro Snitch is that it also keeps a log.

Ideally, we would of course have all these levels of protection: a light, a physical switch to disconnect the camera and mic, sandboxing with camera/mic permissions, and logs like those provided by Micro Snitch.
This is a great idea! Can you tell us more about how you came up with it? What’s the back story?
OpenBSD was already using pledge(2) to protect the different chrome process types, many of them can't access the filesystem directly. Chrome actually has a privsep design, IPC, fd passing over Unix sockets etc.

For example, the GPU and plugin processes can only act on file descriptors received this way:

https://github.com/openbsd/ports/blob/master/www/chromium/pa...

But this alone doesn't protect this "bridge" process itself from accessing the filesystem, this includes your SSH keys, which is where unveil() comes in.
A fiasco of a heist?

Also, is it schadenfreude to hate hubris?
The web is shit as it is because of the war on control over content presentation. Both users and publishers want to have 100% control over users' screen. The reason 99% of sites will declare they're applications because they just won't give up control.

(This is the core of the ad blocking issue, BTW.)

Of course I'm an user, I'd love the split between browser and app runtime, even just so that I could not launch the latter much, telling all the sites pretending to be applications to just go to hell.
Hi there,

I think you're right that a lot of big businesses grew into big ones.

However, our thesis is that if you're early stage, there really aren't a lot of places where you can pitch for funding for a business that does not have a shoot for the moon focus.

For example, I don't think ConvertKit would have gotten any kind of VC funding when it was doing $3k MRR (and he was considering shutting it down). Now it's doing $1M MRR and money is probably getting thrown at him.
