I have the opposite problem of finding a page that could be problematic. Flipped through several articles on those sites, and they all use the linear article layout.

Remember that we're talking about publication of static papers, so you look at the main content column on a page, since that's what should be there in a paper. In the main column, those sites use the simple linear flow: ‘text, image, text’—with images occupying entire paragraphs instead of floating to the sides. With this layout, you can reformat articles every which way, string them into horizontal pages, render them in columns or read them with text-to-speech, etc. It's essentially HTML 2.0 layout but with better formatting. Markdown readmes on Github are the perfect example of this approach.

I've regularly used Evernote for capturing web pages, and Pocket to read them on the phone, and they have no problem with storing main content from such articles, stripped of extraneous navigation (outside of Pocket's bugs with dropping some content, presumably from overzealous anti-ad measures).

You don't look at images outside of the main content column for this discussion, because those aren't what should be there in static paper-like publications—unless the images are related to the content. And if the images are related to the content, the question is why the author is trying to use a fancy layout for such a publication.

(NYTimes do sometimes use more complex layouts in feature articles, with dynamic effects—but they, presumably, don't target those for long-term archival, and instead they customize the pages for mobile and desktop access separately. Anyway, they also should tone that down if they want readership via something like Pocket.)

I most often have problems with images on Wikipedia, because they make images float to the right side since they have many non-essential but illustrative images. Those, indeed, tend to detach from the relevant text.
I stupidly chose a high end thinkpad at my job a few years ago and I am a counting the days until I can renew and get a Mac.

The hardware is shit. I've had to send it to service 3 times in the nearly 3 years I've been working with it. I just put in a new up arrow key last week because the last one broke. In it's current state only one USB port is functional.

Granted I'm a consultant and do heavily traveling but it has never happened to any of my colleagues Macs. Once it was in service for week because the wifi card was disconnected. Don't even get me started about running linux on it, not a nice experience.

Getting home and using my mac is such an upgrade, OS and hardware wise. Only thing I really miss is the red track button in the middle of the keyboard, that is a phenomenal feature!
If you eat a 16 to 20 oz ribeye (1200 calories) in the morning you won't want to eat until at least dinner time. If you eat 3 donuts (1200 calories), you'll be ravenous by noon. What you eat effects when you want to eat and how much dramatically. Why run against a headwind?
As always for this kind of article, some of the comments have turned to more general discussion of human diet and metabolism. There was an very interesting article relevant to that in Vox.com a little over a month ago [1]:

"What I learned about weight loss from spending a day inside a metabolic chamber"

[1] https://www.vox.com/2018/9/4/17486110/metabolism-diet-fast-w...
There are studies on keto-adapted athletes doing cardio, from what I can tell there is no detrimental effect from a ketogenic diet after about a month of adaptation:

Only eat raw vegetables and you'll lose even more. Reason: they're mostly water anyway and less sugary that fruits, so less carbs. You can fill your belly with them and you'll get very little calories.

Another possibility: only eat naturally blue foods. Or only eat foods beginning by 'K' (a different one each day of the week).
Indeed, thanks! We've gone with something closer to what you originally submitted.

It would just have been amended out. Look at the debt ceiling.

You can't really stop a government from borrowing except by taking away the power to print money. Grab your popcorn and watch Italy a.k.a. "Greece: Part II" over the next year to see what happens when government overspending meets currency it doesn't control.
Interesting - since I'm not on Windows, I didn't know about Alexa integration.

On the other hand, Lenovo seems to use hardware components with good support by open-source drivers. Hopefully one day they (or someone else) will support something like coreboot, which will create a more open system (minus microcode in the CPU).
I feel the same. I'm much more interested in collecting a wide range of opinions from a big group of users from my broad niche (software developers, in my case) than I am in one or two experts who may or may not be my target audience.

I can imagine the situation where you would want an expert, but for me that would be more when I'm trying to fix a specific issue (users don't convert well on page X), and I don't have a specific problem. Right now I mainly want feedback to validate my core concept, and really that needs a certain volume of opinions.

OP, I'd suggest splitting the pricing: $X for an expert opinion (I think you could go quite a way above the current $5 here), or $Y for N opinions from random people who might fit my niche (you'd need some broad categories somehow though).
> I'm so confused why people are posting this.

Replying here because I can't reply to where you posted this ^^

Everyone's posting it because you are wrong. A calorie is a calorie. If I eat 500 calories surplus a day, i'll gain ~1 pound a week.
Not yet - my work computer doesn't like being cut off from the world due to financial apps that I run, but I'll try when I'm home this weekend.
WebRTC vs. Zoom. Who Has Better Video Quality?
A few notes:

* 500 years ago there hadn’t been intensive centuries-long studies of many of these phenomena, so if you wanted to know something about it the only way was to do independent investigation.

* Even for subjects which had been studied, books were rare/expensive, poorly indexed, often contained a mishmash of disorganized material, hard to track down, and often flagrantly wrong but remaining uncorrected for centuries.

* Leonardo was notoriously bad at sticking with any project, from his childhood on, easily abandoning his work and jumping to another topic, including leaving many of his paid projects unfinished. Probably serious ADHD.

* There have been many intensely curious polymaths, but in many cases they didn’t take proper notes, the notes were lost/destroyed, the notes are buried in an archive somewhere where nobody reads about them, ...

The gas lines here used a different system than most of the US. The normal way is for a high pressure line to run to a regulator at each house. That regulator then controls a low pressure for that house alone.

This gas company however had low pressure distribution lines connected to thousands of houses, each controlled by a single regulator and operating at 0.5 psi.

While replacing a section of distribution piping, workers left the pressure sensors the regulator used attached to the old piping. This caused the regulator to continue raising the pressure in the new piping since as it was fed data that pressure in the old piping was falling to zero.

The fault was with the work plan order, which the workers on the scene were following exactly, and with a system design that allowed a single point of failure to burn a hundred houses. The gas company will be switching this area over to a more normal setup with regulators at each house.
I now think I replied to the wrong post. This thread is more confusing than most. We're all talking past each other. We (this group) likely agrees more than we disagree.
Still probably not related to amount of transactions.
I disagree with that end. The purpose is not to reduce calories, the point is to be, feel, and look better. Counting calories is tedious and inaccurate. "Don't eat outside of X window" is much less effort, and anecdotally, has given me better results.

I don't need to know my calories at all, my metabolic system can be a complete black box, and as long as I'm able to do stuff I enjoy without feeling groggy, eat almost whatever I want, and just sacrifice the timing, I'm happy.
> If I eat 500 calories surplus a day, i'll gain ~1 pound a week.

Not if you expel an excess 500 calories per day on the toilet. This is what would happen if you chug a glass of olive oil, for example -- your body won't digest it all, and the vast majority of it will pass straight through.

This is an extreme example, but I make it to demonstrate a point 'calorie couters' always seem to forget: You keep assuming that you retain 100% of the calories you ingest, minus what you burn. This is demonstrably incorrect.
Is there a way to invest in this? I didn't see a place on the site to invest in these startups.
The difference is two-fold: actively planting a fake story means that first, the espionage is fake and thus no real intelligence can be gathered, so the only benefit is the hypothetical respect you suggested; second, the story will definitely get out, thus the potential for the negative effect is innately 100%. However, as a real intelligence operation the cost/benefit analysis is inverted, because there is a real, tangible benefit to extracting possibly sensitive commercial and national security information. And while an eventual discovery is always a possibility, it seems care was taken to ensure it would only be a small possibility, and that in any case it would be in the future, hopefully after a large amount of useful data is extracted.

So in the planted story hypothesis, there is certainty of negative outcomes with only the potential for positive outcomes, and those only intangible, while in the this-is-real hypothesis, there is near certainty of some tangible benefit with good probability of significant tangible benefit, with only a potential, distant, deniable risk of negative outcome.
I don't know of a solution. I know we can try to win battles, by building and proposing software that lets more people exercise more control over their browsers. Unfortunately, I feel that organizations responsible for the Web - the consortia and browser vendors - are all fighting on the side of publishers now.

Yeah, that's a real problem for sure.

Browsers are starting to function less as User Agents, and more as remote terminals.

I know, I've been railing against this for probably 8 or 9 years now... with little to show for it, unfortunately. Probably for the reasons you just cited. sigh
DNA identification is becoming possible with public databases
Interesting idea.

How would ownership extend to metadata derived from your profile? For example, one of the claims made during the Cambridge Analytica hearings was that the data that they had in their possession could be used to derive political leanings, sexual orientation, purchasing habits etc.

I'm certain that this is where the value of the data is. No platform genuinely cares about cat pictures and birthday wishes - they care about how likely you are to purchase an advertiser's product. Or, cynically, they care about how many degrees of separation you are from a person under investigation.

This is not data that you've created directly or intentionally.
Good catch, thanks! Fixed now
Your liver also stores a significant amount of glycogen that it can release into the bloodstream. "Bonking" is a term from endurance events, for example in a marathon bonking typically takes place around 20 miles into the race when runners have been running for more than 2 hours, which fully depletes their glycogen stores. Modern runners typically refuel with carbohydrates, drinks/gels, to delay bonking, but depending on pace and time you typically can't consume enough calories to fully replenish what you have used and will bonk eventually. Then you will need to continue at a slower pace burning fat for fuel.
Biased studies by the supplements industry, most probably.
You and the other poster are disagreeing before removing significant ambiguity in your claims.

If someone eats 2k of olive oil by drinking one teaspoon every 30 minutes, their body will be able to digest a significant portion of those calories.

If someone drinks the whole cup at once, then they're going to have diarrhea without absorbing much at all.

A quick clarification - the output of Webflow actually works across all modern browsers, but the design tool itself has more limited browser support.

One of the biggest challenges with Firefox has been the inability to style native scrollbars to become dark with CSS – theres a decade+ long issue/conversation around making that happen: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=77790. Eventually, we gave up waiting on native support, and now working towards converting scrollbars to be JavaScript-driven to support Firefox (otherwise the white scrollbars stick out like a sore thumb in a dark UI).
> Within two days, we closed the vulnerability

That is very slow for a server-side vulnerability. Was the fix that complicated that it could not be safely deployed within minutes or hours? Or did the FB management not take the issue seriously?
You don't ban making loans! You ban fractional reserve banking - the act of issuing currency not backed 1:1 by central bank money.

All it takes to stop boom/bust is full reserve banking and abolition of central bankers. Very simple, technically. After that to get yield on savings, people must invest in funds and be exposed to their relative lack of liquidity. Good bankers can keep things relatively liquid anyway, at least when times are stable, but you'd still have to wait to get your money back if you wanted out of investment funds. The underlying mechanics of finance are exposed: loans still occur, but investors see that their money is gone from their current accounts until the fund reaches maturity.

Now, will the citizens or politicians tolerate the long sucking sound as all the unstable credit is withdrawn from the economy? No, probably not. It's politically hard, not technically hard.
I just don't think the relationship between those two things you are describing exists. If the Chinese government approaches a Chinese manufacturer with the goal of compromising US software companies adding some sort of chip that reconfigured the hardware would be the most straight forward thing for them to do.

If anything I think the idea that a Chinese manufacturer with complete access to the hardware having to execute some exploit towards the web interface to get access is far fetched. So is that you could pretend to update the firmware (surely no one is going to notice that the new version doesn't have the features you wanted?) and that dumping the firmware would be inconvenient (it would be the first thing you did if you suspected something).
This sort of thinking is backwards. A lot of people in tech fall back on this idea that lay-people should just do research and educate themselves about computer security and privacy. But even security experts disagree about the right choices to make, so what hope does a person with no background in computers have?

If your solution is "don't use the most popular service in the world", your solution is simply not realistic for most people.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_65_(198...

Long story short, California requires labeling of things that may contain chemicals hazardous for a variety of reasons. The idea was simple - never not inform. The intentions were pure.

The result is that basically everything has a vague and uninformative label about how it may contain chemicals that could be hazardous. The labels are spectacularly uninformative and incredibly numerous. They are universally ignored by everyone, as they constitute a sea of noise.

The net result is that a wonderful, laudable, pure, kind, and compassionate idea - never not inform - has led to a deluge of useless informational notices in which actual useful notices are impossible to find.

It might be worth considering that there could be a lesson in there.
I reserved last year and ordered the AWD Model 3 on July 5th ($2,500 down payment) and I’m still waiting for a VIN.

I got a text a couple weeks ago asking if I could take delivery that weekend and immediately replied “YES!”. A day later they texted back that someone would be in contact with me “in a week or two”. Something wonky happened, my rank speculation is they had a matching vehicle which was slated for someone else and they initially said they couldn’t take delivery that weekend so they reached out to me, but then the original buyer went back and said they could take it? I have no evidence to support that, could just be shitty logistics, or even worse, intentionally testing my buyer readiness to gauge their true demand queue.

But I’m happy to wait as my current 2006 ICE with 104k miles is running fine. I would prefer even waiting another year or two if not for the expiring credit.

The fact that they’re claiming delivery backlog for Model 3 is down to ~10 weeks bodes well for the base model becoming available to order in Q1 I would think.
"No matter what I eat, i'll be fat. But no matter what ngngngng eats, he stays skinny!"

This is plain denial, and is not the view expressed in the article. Anyone who reads and understands the article, and the purported benefits isn't likely to simultaneously hold that inane view.
Sorry, but you're not helping. There is not a lack of people, media, and doctors who repeat the calories in calories out mantra. People have this hammered into them all the time. And it's obviously not working.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. When I was a consultant (and used Thinkpads heavily at work) they worked pretty reliably with a lot of abuse, although I agree that Windows is something that (for me personally) is hard to tolerate as an OS.

What's interesting about OpenBSD/Thinkpad combo is that hardware support is miles better vs. Linux on the same hardware (WiFi, snooze, etc.), from what I can tell, as many of the OpenBSD developers use them as personal machines.
People have been bitching about Chrome too, and those things they were bitching about can also be disabled using flags. Turns out Google and the Mozilla Corporation are not so different after all!
Just the same as some readers not knowing Alan Kay or Richard Stallman.
That a gram of fat is roughly 9 calories? You seem to believe that at some amount of regular ingestion it will start getting processed differently? I'm not sure what kind of a paper you'd like, I don't think anyone will come up with specifically olive oil.

As per your other reply to the same link

differing degrees of nutritional satisfaction per calorie ingested

Yes it's commonly thought to work that way, there are indeed differences - but they're tiny. I might try to dig up relevant papers, but as far as my memory goes, the difference was at best around 3% with certain kind of protein.
You can lift and do cardio just fine even on full blown water fasting for a couple of weeks, or longer if you're already heavily overweight.

It's not the most pleasant feeling in the universe, and your performance won't be anything to write home about, but you will still be pretty functional. Humans have had to go without food for a while for most of their history, so it makes sense we would have adapted to live just fine through periods of scarcity.
> lifting in a fasted state impacts my performance 0%

Based on my own experiences, I'd actually expect performance to improve since the body isn't using resources for digestion. I'm not a weight lifter, but I know bicycling is significantly harder shortly after eating and my other current sport, freediving, is much, much easier after fasting (my static hold time is close to 2 minutes longer when I haven't eaten in the past ~12 hours).

One interesting observation I've had from freediving is that some of the signals we get from our bodies are far less urgent than we tend to experience them. The main one, in that sport, is the urge to breathe and it's actually not an indication that the body needs oxygen. It is, instead, an indication that CO2 is building up and you can expell it by breathing. Freedivers learn to experience that sensation and push past it.

I'd imagine hunger is very similar. People accustomed to eating whenever they're hungry will panic an experience "low blood sugar" when they don't immediately respond. But we know that humans can go weeks without eating before we die. Pushing past our accustomed non-resistence to hunger will likely be uncomfortable, at first, and then become normal with practice.
And including the article body preserves both options as a choice.

> because the reader's UI is inherently not going to be the intended presentation medium for most content

Huh, you must use RSS for different things than I do. The blogs I follow via RSS work fine, and I only go to the site for comments on some of them. The podcasts and tumblr posts work much better in their respective readers than visiting any website.
I think the comparison is a coherent one on the security side - these were both attacks enabled by allowing apps to piggyback on the visibility settings of the app user. Further, both represent threats which can't be entirely controlled (picture a user infected with a worm that simply opened Facebook and clicked through profiles), but can be constrained by auditing API data request options. If I had a social media site with an API for user-installed apps, I'd be thinking about these attacks in the same category.

But I do think the coverage here, equating the attacks on a user-impact level, is substantially unfair. The Facebook attack in some cases compromised Timeline posts and private messages from friends. What's more, Facebook initially claimed only profile data had been access, and took very little further flak when it was eventually revealed that private messages had been compromised.[1] Portraying the contents of the breach as comparable feels like it not only overstates the current exposure, but gives Facebook a pass on the broader reach of its exposure.

Do we? "Some user data exposed on AWS due to crappy S3 permissions" happens like forty times a year. People publish papers annually just finding stupid crap like this in mobile apps. Misconfiguration bugs happen in thousands upon thousands of products. Where do we lose our minds?
