Oh boy, I regret commenting in this thread.

I feel like people keep either inventing things to argue against (olive oil) or bringing up scenarios that are purposefully missing the overall point of what people are actually saying.

Again, sure, if you zoom in, eating donuts is probably a bad strategy because you'll be hungry again, and thus eat more calories. But in the grand scheme of things, you CAN eat a donut if you remain below you calories. That is all people are saying. Nothing more. Nothing less.

fwiw, we weight lifters regularly put this into practice. Bulking? add more food. Cutting? less food.

Yes, there are details (gotta hit those macros!), but overall, the strategy boils down to calories in/out.
The problem is that people don't care, but governments are trying to force them to care. People don't care, because they don't bother to look for other websites without cookies, so companies don't care either.

If you enforce rule on two parties minding their own business, you encourage changing this rule in some type of mindless ritual. Ok, we will do what you say in the letter of the law, but we won't try to follow the spirit because no one cares.

And this is exactly what is happening with cookies. Companies don't want legal risks(GDPR or not), consumers don't care, voilà! Mindless cookie banners, stupidly long and expansive Terms of Service, etc.
Yes... volunteer work already exists. Suggesting that it could be organized through Trello or Jira doesn't really add any revolutionary element. And many volunteer organisations already have planning solutions.
Thanks for the stimulating conversation.

Regarding efficiency: that’s a good point about lower efficiency leading to zero/negative profits, and this reflects a reality for many workers collectives today. That said, I would expect these collectives to charge higher prices, perhaps 1.5-2x as much, and let consumers decide. I’d definitely rather pay more for quality goods that support a more fair system, and usually find it difficult to do so.

Regarding collectives versus buying shares: a key and significant difference with collectives is the notion that each member has equal voting power for decisions made within the company. Shareholders meanwhile have less control, owing to the power of the board of directors. Concentrating power makes anti-social behavior more likely, as the class difference between the board and everyone else means decisions they make may not affect them the same way they affect others. This is significantly less pronounced in a coop as I describe, so there is less anti-social interference caused by businesses in this scenario.

You have other good points I’d like to reply to, but I’ve got to run. I just wanted to mention that a key thing I feel you are missing is that working for and a society made up of worker cooperatives would lead to a qualitatively different life. It’s not a pure apples to apples competition scenario as I am advocating that people actively make buying and employment decisions based on a desire to realize this new cooperative society. I agree with you that absent ideology, the capitalist organization would crush the coops based solely on a selfish purchasing decision. That is, the capitalist products may be cheaper and may be better (or not), but I still believe a coop can survive and thrive if enough people choose to stop supporting the capitalist way.

These terms are a bit loose by the way - I stil describe a scenario rooted in a fabric of capitalism. The coops sell to each other based on markets if they want, or other agreements if they want. No government interference is required. And I advocate that these groups behave in intentionally pro social ways. It takes devotion and energy and heart. It is not for those simply looking to make a buck.
I don't know which part of "we are running a quantum computer but we don't wanna show you" (they are saying the same during 10 years), is not a scam?. They could run the api in a server and sells us as it runs in a quantum machine.
Those houses shouldn't have burned let alone had gas explosions. Appliances should be able to take a pressure spike well into the double digits (if you've got something in the oven it might come out a little crisp though). The typical steel piping found in homes should be good well into triple digit pressures (as should any copper or soft line). The problems that caused this aren't just constrained to Colombia Gas property.

I doubt that. I replied very shortly after, and it was displayed in grey as downvoted comments are.
I suspect there's no objective way to discuss a topic while it's in the hype cycle. Mindnfulness meditation seems to have dubious benefits, the uberman sleep cycle has all but disappeared, but during their hype cycles there was no way to sit down and discuss whether they actually do anything. There were too many people singing praises and making tons of claims, and there's really no way to dispute them. The science seems to never happen on these types of things as well, so just waiting doesn't seem to be the answer either.
Braina has pricing, after a few clicks.

Mycroft is all FOSS

Kitt seems all FOSS too

Snips has a big CTA to 'Contact Enterprise Team'

It's clear you're trying to discover the right price and of course it's complex. Please be upfront about it, what you've said here could be copy-pasta to your site already.

I've been watching Pico for a while, it's very interesting but I'm feeling like you keep teasing more FOSS and being unclear on costs.

I want to like your project too but currently the others are doing a bit better on presentation.
This has a similar goal (but a completely different approach) to a startup I'm currently in the process of launching - https://www.tamarin.us - it uses decoy websites/bait credentials to deceive intruders.

> We just prioritize rapid development time and ease of use over security.

> If we wanted computers to cost $x0,000 and OSes to cost $x,000, and the pace of progress to be glacial, we could have completely secure systems today.

> It's a choice, not an impossibility.

Progress in core OSes and conventional hardware has already slowed down to a glacial pace, compared with previous decades. Rapid development is often used to just create a churn of useless sidegrades and other poorly thought out things (deceptively sold as upgrades).

It might be time to make that different set of choices.
Why do all wild lions look the same? Are their bodies not complex like ours?

Fasting is followed by animals too. When they fall sick they fast. Deliberate fasting in humans is a necessity because humans eat unnatural food.
More often than not, the opportunities for people to help vastly outscales the amount of hours volunteers are able to put up to help. Anyone can clean up trash on the side of the road and it's a no-skill job, so why is it still there? Open source projects everywhere need help, but a lot of them languish unsupported anyways.

Most people likely know countless ways they could help, but the time to do so doesn't match up with the need that's out there.
>similar/better specs vs Macbook Pro at half the price

I hear people say that and I always get excited. Then I just went to Lenovo’s site and I configured one and for a small margin on error they are the same. Why do people say this when it doesn’t seem true? Is there a “50% Off all Thinkpads” website I don’t know about?
They probably pay less per SoC compared to most Android OEM (except maybe Samsung) since they design the chips in house as opposed to paying Qualcomm.
Yeah, except the devices are different, so there's no point in trying to use the same page size on them, you only torture the reader.

> With HTML (what you propose) it is hard even to get something to look the same at different browser window widths, let alone different devices or different versions of browsers.

Only if you're trying to use some fancy layout, or if your idea of ‘the same’ is literal. Use a simple ‘text, image, text’ layout like it's the days of HTML 2.0, but with better formatting—and you'll have zero problems reformatting for different displays or reflowing the document into columns. Notice how all popular content sites adopted this layout in the main content column of their pages—and the pages work nicely on both desktop and mobile devices, and are captured fine with Pocket, Evernote and the like.

If you're trying to use a fancy layout for a paper-like publication, the question is why the hell you're doing that.
Offering health insurance is a great idea. It probably wouldn't even be that hard. Set up a subsidiary of TinySeed to employ all the founders on W2 and then set up that subsidiary on something like Justworks that offers cost effective group health insurance. Part of the runway could be delivered as W2 salary.
Nobody's wishes about link clicks should matter one bit except the user's.
>Linear algebra does crop up all over the place

True.
Almost everyone who does matrix/vector operations in production code uses libraries though. That is why it is tricky to see results from these kinds of projects on production code.
So you're saying it's possibly an interstellar alien cat toy to test our curiosity and willpower? Plausible.
True, since the number of transactions is unrelated to the hashrate of the network.
I fear that the only thing we can do is to keep on designing user-respecting sites and tooling that lets users control the way they consume content, and just let the web fork. Leave the money-driven web for moneymakers and people satisfied with that state, and let a productive web develop on the side of it.
You can usually use Wireshark to find out the meaning of each byte for internet connections (and images), it works great.
"in the mornings". That's exactly the point.
Test the idea.

Try dialing back the protein for a while. You might be surprised at how little you need to build muscle and stay fit while at the same time loosing weight.
What benefits have you personally seen? Genuinely curious.
I reached out to them directly (RMIT) about the license and they responded that is not available for commercial use.

“Sans Forgetica is designed for non-commercial use only. It is bound by a creative commons, non-commercial, attributed (CCBYNC) license.”
I haven't had that issue with mine. It's been shipped across the planet a couple of times and works just as well as the day I bought it.

I think that might have been an issue ten+ years ago.
I find it a bit of elitist arrogance to tell them they should [care about privacy]. Different people value their data at different levels and we shouldn't be so quick to make it harder for them to give it away if they choose.

With regards to "shadow profiles", someone else's actions do diminish my privacy. I don't find it elitist or arrogant at all to protect my privacy in this way.

And, if someone came to me and said "stop doing this because it is negatively affecting me", I probably wouldn't think twice before stopping.
Most of machine "learning" in real world use seems to be humans fiddling with weights until they get the magic number they want.

I got stronger and was able to run longer and further when I ate one meal a day. I went from a slow 1 mile run to fast 2 mile run and ended up at 3 miles by the end of one month.
I just finish a 21 day water fast yesterday - it’s the first time I’ve done it. My sleep was only slightly affected. Not because I was hungry, after 3 days your appetite more or less subsides. The only notable thing that happened as it relates to sleep is that I would only sleep for 5.5 hours and my body would wake up, not groggy or tired. Typically when I eat “normally” I get about 7 hours.
Human fat is substantially more complex than olive oil. Also he survived on more than his fat. He also survived on his skin, some muscle tissue, organ tissues, etc. Research shows increased autophagy during fasts like the one described at your link. During a fast whole organ systems shrink as old senescent cells are destroyed and their nutrients recycled.

The oddest thing about reading the comments here is that people are dismissing the words of someone who has spent the better part of a decade in formal education in medicine, and a large part of his professional career focusing on weight management.
Yes, a quick web search shows you:

Also, there is Chromium:

Animals also eat their own throw-up, that doesn't mean we should too.
Lion diets haven't changed since lions became a distinct species. Human diets have changed drastically in the last 10k years. And there are well known examples of humans evolving adaptations to changing diets (lactase persistence in Northern Europeans being the most obvious). It would be crazy to think that other, less obvious adaptations to diet haven't occurred in basically every other region with a distinct diet.

I know it's fashionable and popular to hate on JS. No matter what your objections are, if you are frightened of it, you should be scared. It's running in almost any modern device you own, and a decent chunk of services serving those devices. Even everybody decides to switch to WASM/Go/Python and leave JS in the dust, it'll still zombie on for a good long time. See: PHP.
I was thinking of the recent controversy. What else is there?
> You are missing when you have a middle layer.

And storage. People might have petabytes of historic data stored in protobufs.
> HTML is the format. You pack it with images, CSS and whatever else, and you have the distribution format.

HTML is not a good format and standard for that purpose. It's loose best effort markup with no good consensus on semantics. HTML with images is not good option for papers which have many equations.

EPUB3 is emerging standard for what you want, but it's not really good complete solution that can replace PDF/A or TeX/LaTeX

> Have a static HTML version that's rendered the same in the future

We don't have that.

"Intermittent fasting seems like it'd wreck your body if you do moderate to intense exercise. So I just fasted, and now I want to do intense cardio.... but I might run out of glycogen or blood sugar. Or I may do a set of weight lifting, but not if I can't eat protein after. So if I do intermittent fasting, I have to come up with a complex schedule to follow in order to get any performance gains.
"

That's not true. You just have to get used to it. When I did boxing I often did two hours intense workout in the evening and didn't eat anything after or hours before. No problems.

Agreed, the way people talk crap about Chromium while pushing Firefox seems disingenuous.
The actual amount of energy consumed by one bitcoin transaction is actually pretty exactly the amount of money you pay as a fee times the cheapest you can get electricity in the world.

So if you pay $0.2 in fees, you will burn around $0.2 / ($0.1/kWh) = 2kWh of electricity. Note that this is an upper limit since it ignores miner profit (but that will tend towards zero over time).

This is ignoring the block subsidy, but that is independent of the number of transactions will forcibly solve itself over time.
Did you move to Chrome or something else entirely?
Second this.

Beyond the ekiben, even the grab-n-go food of the convenience stores (7-11, family mart etc) is even a step above most in the States.
I would imagine if it meets the following criteria: is it in a form that I can eat while driving a car[1], can it be served in the same time as other fast food, and is it priced within the fast food spectrum.

I still think the greatest fast food I've ever had was a Greek place that did amazing kabobs.

That's a fine assumption to be made by ordinary people but I think it's quite fair to respond to somebody commenting on hacker news as if they have more than a lay-person's understanding the technology industry.

Are you just arguing for the sake of arguing? You're not engaging with my points in any meaningful way. Can we be done with this thread?
Ask HN: Difference between HTTPS vs. encrypting at the application layer?
What are the differences between sending otherwise plain text over an HTTPS connection, vs encrypting before sending over HTTP?

Immediate differences I can think of:
1. HTTPS provides verification of client/host (whereas HTTP does not)

Is there anything else to add here?
I'd love to see that data, because my current pet theory is that adtech applies the same morals internally that they do externally - i.e. everyone tries to scam each other, pretending their tools work.
> Everybody already knows a caloric deficit results in weight loss.

I can assure you "everybody" doesn't already know that, in fact, this seems to be a _minority_ opinion.

The vast majority of people seem to think they need a diet (i.e., restriction on type of food) to lose weight. The only people I know who are actually on CICO are people I encouraged to try it.
Nothing of which have any relevance to the point on which you are commenting. The point was about future development, which you ignored completely.
> "Unfortunately, RawGit has also become an attractive distribution mechanism for malware. RawGit was meant to improve people's lives, but jerks are increasingly using it to hurt people."

This has been my experience too, and I'm now convinced that hosting any online services can only be done by corporations whose business model entirely relies on it, and that a small full-time staff is needed to combat malicious users effectively and keep the service usable for everyone else.
I feel like many readers of news carry this misunderstanding, so just to clarify: journalists very often do not get to write their own headlines. Many times they aren't even consulted on the headline. They may be just as surprised and dismayed as a reader/critic.

It is frequently editors who write the headline, and it might even be editors who weren't involved in the reporting. Editors are always writing headlines with a balance of different motives and goals. Strict accuracy isn't always on the top of that list.
What an arrogant presentation...

1) “npm is the best at x, y, z” with no data to back the assertion or attempt to address the many counter arguments

2) we just released a bunch of brand new security code! So it must be secure!

3) everyone is using npm, that must mean it’s the best, and not that technical debt is forcing the choice on everyone

4) everybody in the audience stand up and sit down when I say

Jeez
A 16 hours fast is so easily achievable that many probably do it without even knowing. If you stop eating by 8PM, and skip breakfast till lunch at noon. That's a 16 hour fast. I've done that basically my entire adult life without even consciously thinking about it. These days I push it out to anywhere from 18-20 hours, and limit my calorie intake from 2pm-8pm. I've been slim my whole life, 175lbs at 6'1. Never get sick, last time I've been to the doctors was easily 20 years ago as a child. Haven't had an antibiotic since grade school. Cardio exercise daily, hiking mountains, no loss of energy.
The story of Rajeev Motwani
What a silly thing to say.

It's been less than what four decades since the US experienced rapid inflation during the oil embargo? These last few years of incredibly stable USD may have clouded your judgment, and this idea that we can just print money whenever we want is... beyond silly.

We may have more leeway than most as we are the world's largest economy, the world's largest military, and the largest portion of the global reserve currency but to dismiss this so arrogantly and easily? That's dangerous.

When things change, they tend to change very quickly. This is absolutely something we should be concerned about as we continue to allow our hijacked political system which benefits the few at the expense of the many to hand out humunguos tax breaks to the already inordinately wealthy among us.

Also look at osteoporosis rates in Western cultures. Lactose tolerance\intolerance is the term. I can smoke 20 cigarettes a day and my body tolerates that. Does not mean it is good for me.
I think this is overlooking the real criticism, which is that there is no evidence that simply wanting something to be secure would make it so.

For example, the parent article, the one this comment is ostensibly in response to, has nothing to do with operating system security.
Good point. One thing we learned from exoplanet hunting is that there is a much greater diversity out there than we had originally thought, implying that planet formation is a lot more of a dynamic process than our previous models indicated. Prior to the discovery of exoplanets our planet forming models were very much "over fit" to the example of our own Solar System, giving the impression that other stellar systems would end up looking similar to our own. The reality is that our Solar System is, as you say, probably unusual. One aspect of this is that it seems like planetary migrations are pretty common (both inward and outward). If that sort of thing happens early during planet formation then it could easily explain an "asteroid" (which we understand is almost certainly a planetessimal fragment, though many asteroids are just that) which has acquired additional material including ices.

The obvious followup here is that we need way, way more closeup observations of small bodies in our own Solar System, we probably also need to develop better techniques for observing interstellar interlopers, and we need to improve our studies of extrasolar planetary systems. Fortunately the first part is already covered, between the Hayabusa 2, Osiris-REX, Lucy, Psyche, and New Horizons missions we should collect a lot more information on such bodies. However, it's probably going to be a long time before we have answers even to simple questions like the formation histories of most small bodies in stellar systems and what the "average" stellar system looks like.

It's just fucking laughable how Firefox apologists disregard Firefox showing you Pocket ads in the home page, or sending your private data to Cliqz (yes yes I know they had to disable that after the outrage) and then saying "well hurr if you don't like it then disable it". So, the same way you can disable things in Chrome. When they get out of arguments, they say "you can't trust Google won't fuck up again". But can you trust the Mozilla Corporation!?

Yes yes I would also love to see a browser made by someone who cares about your privacy, but thus far this is what we have.
