That the "basal metabolic rate" slows down when dieting is shown by many studies on diet. The weight loss isn't linear and slows down over time, in about 6 months or so, even if the caloric deficit is sustained. Not only that, but the basal metabolic rate stays low even after people start eating normally again.

Here's a study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18842775

Here's another one: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23535105

Another interesting finding is what happened with the Biggest Loser contestants: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/6-years-after-the...

That group on average burned 2607 before the competition, but only about 2000 calories after the competition, even if they continued to do plenty of exercise afterwards. They also regained much of that lost weight.

Thin people shouldn't be giving dieting advice, because the obvious confounder is having a well functioning metabolism, whereas overweight people don't ;-) This is made worse by doctors doing it for the same reasons as everybody else. Until they get fat themselves, realizing only afterwards that gluttony wasn't the problem after all.

That's not the suggestion.

The suggestion is that the net added cost (after taxes) of an added unit of labor on its own is greater with a lower tax rate, not that a profitable company's overall position with the same pre-tax choices is worse with the lower tax rate.
I am using Slate Js and it's fantastic, though there are some caveats. Mobile support is limited, slate is still not in a stable release so there may be breaking changes, and for now you're limited to using react. But when it works, it's amazing! I really like the freedom it gives you in defining and changing your own document schema and how everything is rendered.

Reading Codes from RSA Secure ID Token
TDD only works in conjunction with thorough peer reviews. Case in point: at my place of work, code and tests written by an intern can go through literally dozens of iterations before the check-in gets authorized, and even the senior engineers are not exempt from peer reviews (recent interns are especially eager to volunteer).
In what specific way is GCE behind EC2?

I would argue on many points GCE is clearly significantly superior to EC2.

The Google billing model is far better, they bill on straight CPU and Memory, which you can combine in any desired ratio. Amazon has well over 100 different instance types.

Google gives you an automatic sustained usage discount.
Amazon requires you to commit to reserved instances up front for 1 year minimum, and those have to be specific instance types, so as your workloads change you can't reallocate capacity.

GCE has workload live-migration. If the underlying hardware that your VM is hosted on begins to fail, they will migrate you to new hardware in REAL TIME without any downtime other than a sub-second pause in processing.

Amazon will notify you that your hardware is failing and give you a deadline usually a week or so out to reboot your VM, if you don't they just terminate it.

I could continue for several more points if interested.
> For example, "How do you find the middle element of a singly linked list in one pass?" The answer, without comment, makes a presumption about how to define the "middle" of a list with even length. And it defines a linked list implementation with a magic, invisible head that requires extra code beyond the loop to compensate for.

I'm not sure what you mean by complaining about a magic, invisible head to the linked list. If you can't access the head of a linked list, you can't access any other part of it either.

However, as another comment points out elsewhere in the thread, there is a bigger problem -- the solution offered uses more than one pass.
I wouldn't want to do this daily and thus wouldn't accept work in the business center of Tokyo. But here's why Japanese way of living and commuting still makes more sense to me than the equivalent in the US:

* Japan has a very open zoning law. There's nothing stopping developers building residential buildings of different pricing levels right next to businesses. This more often allows people to move close to their work.

* partly thanks to the first reason, Tokyo is quite a bit less centralized than, say, NY. You can also see this clearly in its skyline. I found that even during rush hours it's usually no problem for me to arrive where I need on time - on those lines that can get completely full the frequency of connections tends to be very high, so you can just wait in line for the next one. And yes, queueing for a train actually works in Japan.

* Even when taking a crowded train I still feel more relaxed than a similar situation in Europe or the US - mainly because Japanese are just more considerate. People are always filling up empty spaces, move with the flow and give space when needed - you just ask nicely and otherwise do what you can on your part to make things work together. There's also no smells and no noises. I think I could get used even to rush hour - just put on head phones and move like everyone else, don't rush, calculate additional time so you don't have to.

Don't get me wrong, their system is far from perfect - it's just that among the alternatives I find it one of the better ones. The problem I have there is more with work culture and education, but there's hope for betterment lately at least for the former.
Well in that case, I guess it's a definition thing. When I teach C++, I find it much more useful to make a clear separation between 'preprocessor' and 'compiler', and not make the preprocessor part of the compiler and then make the... uh... 'actual compiler' also part of the compiler.

When you take the preprocessed state of a compilation unit, by having the preprocessor write it out to disk, and show someone what the effects are of passing one or the other -D flag, or change the order of includes - that directly and concretely shows what is going on. And then this preprocessed file is passed on to the actual compiler. There is a clear separation between stages, easy to understand, and useful to boot when the time comes you have to debug an issue related to it and you want to look at the preprocessed file to see what's going.

>> The trial cost $12 million and was supported largely by a grant from the Nutrition Science Initiative, a nonprofit research group co-founded by Gary Taubes, a science and health journalist and proponent of low-carbohydrate diets.

So, a non-profit funded by a gentleman who advocates for low-carbohydrate diets found that low-carbohydrate diets are good for you.

That just don't sound like an unbiased study.
Yeah but it's still a very useful point where 100 should be, e.g. when you go to a sauna you know more precisely what to expect.

You missed the part where the body uses Glycogen resources while on a high carb diet and stores excess carbs as fat. You only lose fat if your blood glucose levels are low enough. And obese people often are pre-diabetic and actually have to eat low carb and fast to get their levels low enough to actually burn fat.
We're also building transit at 5x the cost per unit of distance. Compare the costs of NYC second avenue versus recent Tokyo and Paris lines.
Bit of a side-question, but somewhat related. Is anyone working on "whole program compilation"? I don't mean whole program optimisation, I mean an attempt to read all files for a given target in memory at the same time and then generate all translation units in one go (all in memory? and maybe linking them in memory too?). Clearly, there would be caveats (strange header inclusion techniques relying on macros to modify text of include files would break, gigantic use of memory and so forth), but for those willing to take the risk, presumably this should result in faster builds right?

In fact, ideally you'd even generate all binaries for a project in one go but that may be taking it a step too far :-)

At any rate, I searched google scholar for any experience reports on this and found nothing. It must have a more technical name I guess...

I think it makes sense to distinguish between "news sites".

Can the Financial Times, Economist, Bloomberg and trade publications survive on a paywall model? Probably - their readers likely consider them as operational expenses.

But I don't see how the traditional newspapers can maintain their advantage going forward.

If we develop a browser model that allows them to make money via micropayments, convince people to sign up for it, and they actually use it, some of them _might_ survive.

I think there's a lot of mental gymnastics happening here though - ultimately I think they're gone unless outside funding keeps them alive (e.g. they essentially become propaganda).
What issues are you seeing with slate? I was able to integrate pretty easily several advanced mention style patterns (similar to how slack integrations work) using draftjs.

This is why I think the best way forward is for groups of news sites to come together with a single paid login to gain access to them, and then profit-share based on percentage of views each site gets.

Pay £20/month for "News" and then my money would tend to go to the Independent and the Guardian, while someone else's would go to The Daily Mail and Fox News. But I could read the occasional Fox News article and they could read the occasional Guardian article, if we wanted to.

Those founders are getting paid by having 100% ownership in the business. If in 5 years the business becomes profitable then the original unpaid employees won't see any of that money.

The only way this payment structure can be morally sound is by treating every unpaid employee as a founder and giving them an equal share of the company.
Maybe they did not mean it as an insult, they just came in their everyday working clothes I guess. The problem is that looked super unprofessional and left the impression to be a bunch of hipsters.

Good question and I don't think I have a great answer.

I personally believe that morality lies not in the document, but in the context it is created or displayed in.

If, for example, the intention appears to me to be dishonest, exploitative or outright cruel, I'd want to criticize the person responsible for putting this document into this context. Whether this is done by creating the document or changing its context doesn't appear as relevant to me.

Regarding the declarative line you mention, I think I'm pretty much a pragmatist: I do not need to know where exactly the border is between India and China to know that Delhi is in India.

...but I'm open to a more rule based approach as well. I just don't know one.

That seems like a good idea, although it is maybe difficult to bring it into reality. Only thing I would change is not basing the percentage on the number of views because this will (just like ads) make an incentive for newspapers to promote clickbait. Instead this system could be a lot smarter by measuring (for example) the time spent reading an article because it is not bound by the classical advertising constraints.
They could do both. Keep the individual "one source only" that is cheaper if you only want this one, and the bundle that is cheaper is you want to access 5 sources. The bundle would be less profit per head for each source but you could expand the volume this way.

I pay for the Guardian and WaPo, and I’m pretty happy with this so far: I use one for UK/EU/world news and the other for US/world. You see different perspectives from each side of the ocean, and they both do great journalism that I want to support (IMO).

I would definitely pay for a third if I thought it was worth it to me. I can imagine if I was in finance I’d pay for FT or something.
I think you may be onto something. But what about the incentives to click-bait this creates?

When I pay for content, I want the creators' incentives to be aligned with mine (high-quality content not designed to draw me in by appealing to my lizard brain).
News Corp tried to build that back in 2010 see eg https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/why-news-corp-really-... - there were issues getting newspapers to commit to a bundled experience. And it wasnt going to be a profit share by views exactly either.
That's super neat. What kind of VCRs support NICAM audio?

> belief in the important role of maintaining tradition and hierarchies and belief in equalizing everything and a linear view of history as an inevitable march to progress

Holy False Dichotomy, Batman!

I don't believe in an inevitable march, but I'm definitely not enamored of keeping social norms the way they are just because they're social norms. I think society can and should be improved based on sound policy, but my ideas aren't teleological; that is, they don't move towards a specific long-term end goal, just a short- or medium-term goal which is, essentially, a position better than this one, from which we can plot the next improvements.

Do I believe in questioning everything? Sure, with the caveat that I'm willing to accept "We don't know how to improve it" or "It isn't something we can improve" as answers. Do I believe in equalizing everything? The question is unanswerable as posed, not least because "equality" means different things in different contexts, and some people have a distressing propensity for equivocation.
That’s very cynical, and implies that the government is even able to pull a stunt on that scale. I think an easier explanation is available here.
So a technique I've found useful to solve this issue aside from hanging out with someone visiting is to dedicate 1 day to doing nothing but picking a place that you're very familiar with and intentionally thinking about whether you've been down that street or the next one, looking at places that I wouldn't usually look like at the corners of the roof of buildings and then just taking a moment to sit down and watch.
This has worked for me in each of the cities I've ever become too familiar with. You just tend to relax and get to where you want to go, there's no nervous energy of not knowing where you are or where you're going. Nowadays I tebd to just pop on my headphones and go to where I need and go back home again and not take in a thing unless I have a bit of a "reset"

I think it's potentially the same thing. I noticed some years ago that I exhibited some of the symptoms of low testosterone but blood tests showed that I was low but still 'normal' so no TRT required. I made an effort to improve my natural Testosterone, lifting (particularly compound lifts like squats, deadlifts), more sleep, dealing with stress better, eating more fat and protein and getting more sun. I definitely feel happier, and that could be not related to T levels as I've not retested but it appears to be linked for me. I know it's a trope, but all men should lift (bro).

A bot now tells Financial Times reporters if they’re only quoting men
>So for instance imagine a company that grosses $250 in sales with total before tax costs of $100 in labor and $50 in other costs. With a 30% tax rate, their after-tax net is $70. With a 20% tax rate, it's $80.

cutting those $100 of labor leaves you with $140 in 30% scenario vs. $160 in 20% case. The similar goes for capital investments with associated depreciation. This is why tax cuts is the time to take money out of business through dividends, buybacks, etc. and not the time to expand the business (i.e. not the time for additional employees and capital investment). It does put comparatively higher pressure to increase productivity using existing employees on/in existing machinery/buildings/etc.
