Exactly. This seems like an Onion headline: "We have your cure for diabetes! Just eat a ridiculously low amount of food, fatso."

I don't mean to sound like a whiner, but ... if it were that easy to cut down my food consumption, I wouldn't be going to a doctor in the first place!

It's like telling people with extreme loneliness or social anxiety to "just strike up a conversation with someone!" Or PTSD suffers: "Geez, just don't freak out so much, take a deep breath or something."

Or narcissists/sociopaths: "Just, you know, think more about how your actions hurt other people."

Given Herculean willpower, most diseases of civilization can be conquered. Don't pat yourself on the back for calling it "prescription".
You absolutely don’t need such caloric restriction to revert diabetes. All it takes is a very low carb or keto diet. Even without exercise.
> most of these benchmarks are measuring the same Linux kernel code

This, 1000x this. I'm afraid too many people treat their CNI plugin as 'magic' whilst many of them really aren't. 'Host' versus Calico is basically benchmarking the impact of a Linux bridge device, and maybe some more iptables rules than the host has (depending on whether the host benchmark has iptables enabled at all, whether there are K8s network security policies in place and enforced by Calico,...).

Also, configuration details are lacking. E.g. in the Calico benchmarks, was ipip enabled or not?
From 2000 to 2017 San Francisco grew 13.5% and San Jose grew 14.5%.

Going back San Francisco county grew from 680k in 1980 to 884k in 2017 that’s significant growth which tracks fairly well with overall US population growth. https://www.biggestuscities.com/city/san-francisco-californi... So, it was ranked 13 in 1980 and is ranked 13th in 2017.

San Jose grew faster than the national average from 1960 to 2017. https://www.biggestuscities.com/city/san-jose-california

Thus, perception does not match reality in these cases. On the other hand overall US population does not grow that fast. So, things can feel static in the short term.
FWIW, HTTPS seems to be valid now
Seems like GM just doesn't care about the Bolt. They are not available at all places and they do very little marketing for the Bolt.
And finally, I guess it's for cutting costs, the insides of the car seems too "plastic-y".
I don't know how life was in the Western countries while growing up in Romania.

Being born in 1982, in the eighties as kids we received sweets only on holidays. I remember chinese chocolate (which was really good btw), a locally made soda and oranges and bananas. Even now when it smells like oranges, I feel like it smells like Christmas, because that's when we were getting oranges.

Then in the nineties, after the revolution, we got an explosion in the junk food consumed. People importing Coca Cola from Turkey made a fortune. The result is that at this point we are in the top countries in Europe when it comes to heart disease and diabetes.

It's easy to see what happened if you follow the trends:

1. sugar (sucrose, HCFS) consumption going up

2. snaking ... when we were little, we were only eating 3 meals per day at most

3. stress

Also if you believe the hyperinsulinemia theory of obesity, well, there are indications that mothers that developed insulin resistance will pass that resistance to the child. Which is one explanation, besides genes, for why children born of overweight parents also have a tendency to get fat.

And yes, we eat too much. Unfortunately thin people have always blamed fat people of gluttony, not thinking that the hunger and satiety signals might be broken in some people, for various reasons, including insulin resistance, or maybe because the junk we eat doesn't contain the nutrients the body needs.
If you think "simply eating better and not eating so much" is "simple", you don't understand people. All our evidence is that it is by no means simple for most people. It's a problem that's about as hard to deal with as drug addiction.

Furthermore, it is a social problem, in that we as a society allow businesses to exploit peoples weaknesses without covering the social costs of the problems they are causing, and given that how people around you act strongly influence how able people are to stick to a diet.

To then act as if this is down to some imaginary free will is irresponsible.
Completely agreed. Similarly, most cars in Jaguar's current portfolio have good Dynamics.
>>Only 5 to 7% of people that lose a large amount weight are able to keep it off successfully in the medium and long term. Hope there is more research into this mechanism.

> Are there any studies in this area I can read that discuss the figures you've mentioned?

One example may be found in Dr. Jason Fung's book, "The Complete Guide to Fasting." Chapter 5 describes a case regarding the American TV show, "Biggest Loser", where overweight contestants lost loads of weight during the show with a low calorie diets and exercise. All except one contestant gain the weight back.

Below is the reference to the study cited in Fung's book.

I don't know about a taste shift -- as the article said, Corollas and Camrys and Civics have seen no such shift. I personally can't see any reason to take a chance on an (historically bad) American car, even with the "but we've changed!" story, when so much good stuff is available elsewhere.

Maybe I'm missing something (or just lucky) :-), but I have been using Namecheap for years (and recommended them to others) and I haven't had issue with the 2FA. What's the specific issue? Thanks.
Aren't they? The only real info I'm finding here is the terse comment from the dev in this thread claiming it was removed for vague "violated the ToS" reasons, but they have not shared the actual wording from the reviewer. It also looks like they have not even initiated voicing this objection to the ruling on the add-on developer forum. Directing your Github issue readers to spam the add-on support channels without providing them any real context seems pretty over the top, to me.
It was known for a long time that hydrocarbons existed below the ice in this location. Russia simply lacked the expertise to explore it properly and so it there it sat.

To my knowledge, only two companies worldwide possess the ability to explore in such harsh conditions: ExxonMobil and Royal Dutch Shell.

Russia, via Rosneft, opted to partner with ExxonMobil to explore the region and created the project photo-documented by the original post. It is known as Sakhalin-1 [1]. ExxonMobil is the principal operator and a 1/3 partner.

This article by CNBC [2] does a decent job of discussing the project and some of the economic and political issues involved. Personally, I found the contents below the fold the most informative and insightful.

It is due to Chinese intolerance of drugs which comes from their XIX century experience. In West you achieve the same means (mind control and social stability) with video games and legalized marijuana.
Interesting that the one pronounced "winer" has problems, where the "weener" doesn't. Perhaps someone not familiar with German, it is the second letter that is pronounced.

> The driving experience is superior

Driving experience only goes so far in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Those aren't cars that people "need". Most lux car owners will also have a "beater" car that they use for real life.

Status is an important motivator and should not be dismissed.
Those seem like two entirely unrelated issues
Sedans Aren't Dead, the market has segmented into sedans and liftbacks/4-door coupe. See BMW 3 and 4 series. It's p much the same car. People prefer for 4 because it's a bit more practical, but 3 series has large marketing so BMW maintain 2 models.

Isn't that enough? We can control fire. We can create technology from this one unique capability, which no other creature can. Others have the physical capability to control fire but they cannot actually do it.
Haha THIS is spot on. Sure, 1 person's address isn't the end of the world ... but 500,000,000 people's information in 1 incident is class action material
I guess this is one way to make a living. Is it sustainable? Is it gratifying? Is it scalable?

The guy is a hustler, I can appreciate that. He works for himself, I can appreciate that.

However if lots of other people try to do the same thing then does all the competition create a situation where lots of people are squabbling over a few crumbs? It looks like its a niche. And its only a matter of time others try to muscle in on his turf.
Well sure, but Nissan took shortcuts that I don't think people should live with. Specifically, I am not cool with the lack of battery temperature management in the Leaf. It's basically 'designed' with battery degradation an inevitable outcome for anybody who doesn't live in a mild climate with no serious winters or hot summers. (In other words it's made for California and western Europe.)
I've come up with a better idea. I upload naked selfies of myself and my friends and family pay NOT to see them...
I am very happy to see this. It is a well-polished product that I would use any day over alternatives like Discord, which lots of OSS projects seem to be shifting to. Congratulations to the team.
I wrote something that launches a new instance of the Firefox engine for specific profiles.

https://github.com/unqueued/foxbox

But I never got around to polishing it and making it more accessible.

The thing that really prompted me was peeking at what financial websites were doing, trying to connect to data mining sites like ru4.com and refusing to load if they couldn't connect to facebook.com and twitter.com.

My script also fixes paths in profile folders so that the roboforms extension will still work, because it is the only password manager that I have found that is able to completely automate my logins, despite the best efforts of UX designers.

I also couldn't order food from seamless.com unless I allowed a script on their site to connect to facebook.com. So, now seamless.com gets its own empty sandbox.

And because you're using your filesystem to store a browser profile, you can have specific extensions or settings for each profile.

So whenever I want to do financial stuff, it just connects over an autossh tunnel to my home, so it will never trigger any any stupid re-authentications when I'm connecting from a cellphone or work.
Not sure where you are getting your information, as Apple has publicly stated to its investors that the first and last of those 3 were their actual purposes behind the restrictions on the app store.
your comment reminds me of one of the themes in Blindsight

But that's the effect that is plaguing unicorn startups - the ones that have to go IPO or get acquired at less than valuation see the employees getting pennies on the dollar for their equity, while the investors that gave the startup the unicorn status take the bulk of the pay out.

Do you know the terms of this latest round of funding? Has senior management confirmed the class of equity?
Fingerprints are not necessarily hashes, they can also be done as a collection of datapoints that combine into a probability. Here is a POC of this type of technique:

Depending on the context, platform, and data, de-anonymization is almost trivial to perform. Worse, someone can replicate your patterns and masquerade as you (thinking about that "lodestar" opinion where people were debating whether it was Pence or not).
The AWS Graviton Processor powering the Amazon EC2 A1 Instances targets scale-out workloads such as web servers, caching fleets, and development workloads. These new instances feature up to 45% lower costs and will join the 170 different instance types supported by AWS, ranging from the Intel-based z1d instances which deliver a sustained all core frequency of 4.0 GHz, a 12 TB memory instance, the F1 instance family with up to 8 Field Programmable Gate Arrays, P3 instances with NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs, and the new M5a and R5a instances with AMD EPYC Processors. No other cloud offering even comes close.

The new AWS-designed, Arm-based A1 instances are available in 5 different instances types from 1 core with 2 GiB of memory up to 16 cores with 32 GiB of memory.
I have to admin I’ve never quite understood the need for the overlay network, esp with such a large performance impact. Security has been moving higher up into the app layer anyway with Beyond Corp style approaches. What are the uses cases driving it?
The sad thing is that American automakers can't, even if that is they won't, make good cars. I don't get it. Why can't they make a fuel pump that lasts 100k miles? It's obviously possible since Japan does it. What's holding us back? Is the engineers? Is it the labor assembling things? Why can't we compete? Management being stupid and chasing this quarter's numbers above all else?
Yeah I'm not pro-Clarity. It's technically inferior to the Volt -- though it has more interior room. It's just that Honda isn't laying off almost 3000 people in the province of Ontario like GM is. I'm feeling a bit nationalist, maybe.
If you look at the graphql doc from the official website, this is what you get:

"GraphQL is a query language for your API, and a server-side runtime for executing queries by using a type system you define for your data. GraphQL isn't tied to any specific database or storage engine and is instead backed by your existing code and data."

And as far as I'm concerned, this is exactly what I think graphql is and should be. It doesn't say anything about caching or solving the N+1 problem or ACID/consistency.

You say "GraphQL does this, yes, but it's not particularly _smart_ about how caching works or how to avoid the Select N+1 problem.". But the whole point of graphql is to just be a typed query layer and use whatever strategy makes the most sense for your application. I feel like it's like saying "I'm surprised that JSON took off even if it's not smart enough to do X"... where actually JSON took off _because_ it doesn't try to do all of those features.
Because eventually businesses wake up to the fact that they need to make money. And they do it by going the absurd route.

For example, online help is free but if you need to talk to a human being support, give us $10 a call or something. And while an average consumer might not be affected, people who are actually affected end up a nightmarish situation.
Japanese cars annoy the heck out of me. I occasionally (forced to) drive a Toyota Venza. Here my issues:

1. low torque at low RPMs.

2. suspension is too soft.

3. it beeps at me constantly. Lock/unlock door, open door, start car, etc.

4. complicated (too many buttons) screens and radio.

5. doesn't allow me to do things I want: a) open door while in drive, b) turn off all my lights when i turn light switch to off, c) use certain screen functions when i drive.

6. hatch door doesn't open if battery is dead.

I'm sure I'd have more if I actually owned the vehicle. The BMW I own doesn't treat me like an idiot.
Which "position"? No one has even shared the stated reasoning for removing this extension yet. Just a bunch of people jumping at an opportunity to disparage Evil Mozilla in here with no details on the real situation. This whole thread should be deleted if you ask me.
At that calorie level it's basically a fast mimicking diet, so part of the benefit would be autophagy and the respawning of stem cells. It's hard to tell how much that helps however.
You think it's all about TCO vs. signaling. The trade space has a lot more dimensions, and you're getting a lot of pushback, especially about the "driving experience" dimension.

I'd like to add "reliability" as another dimension that does not seem to have been mentioned yet.

I just exited a beloved "old small Japanese car" (1998 Civic), partly because parts were starting to break down. Usually it was nuisance stuff, but it takes time to fix. The TCO of the old car was well less than (say) the payment on my new car, but I couldn't deal with the unpredictability and the lost time.
Yup it's gotten harder and harder as more people enter the industry and Amazon makes it tougher to sell and raises fees
> I think any product can become valuable depending on how you market it to your targeted users.

Alright, not to be rude but this is a dead giveaway that you've never built a business or product before and you don't know what you're talking about.

I hate to call you out like this...I understand the sentiment you're trying to express, but any entrepreneur or product leader who looks at your comment will immediately know that it has no legs in reality.

This is not how any of this works.

Your follow-up is also a completely different argument than the one you initially presented.
There must be a reason why we write
So when a site relies on resources from ytimg.com, are those ads or videos? What about ggpht.com, gstatic.com, branch.io, unpkg.com, or any of the hundreds of CDNs?

Most sites I visit these days--even super common sites like medium.com--have dozens (or even the hundreds alluded to above) of dependencies from seemingly unrelated sites. I have no idea if those are CDNs for common js libs, analytics libs, spammer libs, tracking libs, or what. I recognize things like CDN links for jQuery, Bootstrap, React, etc. I see many that seem to be Facebook tracking.

Of course, blocking many of these breaks the page. I have started to avoid sites that break without access to urls I can't identify. But this is both laborious to vet, and isolating.

There is no longer such a thing as easy, anonymous, inclusive web browsing.
The 800 calories they are eating doesn't seem terribly healthy:
"patients were asked to follow either a ‘home-made’ milk- and fruit-juice-based diet (811 kcal/day, 64 g protein, 132 g carbohydrate, 6 g fat) with a multivitamin/mineral supplement (Forceval® [Alliance]), or a micronutrient-replete commercial LELD (832 kcal/day, 87 g protein, 120 g carbohydrate, 12 g fat).

I imagine these people are probably staving... I'd rather go low-carb myself.

You're omitting very important details.
Oh yes. Its a drastic cut in calories from what these participants consume normally. 800kcal is probably not sustainable long term unless you weigh 90lbs and are sedentary. This is just a quick fix. In the end these people need a lifestyle change and a diet they can stick to indefinitely.
It's not like that because it's all about how you approach the problem. It's easy to do all those things if you have the right mindset. Creating that mindset isn't easy, but wording everything in the worst possible manner is a sure way to make it more difficult.

In the case of diabetes, it's saying: here's an alternative prescription that will cure you, we have good evidence it will work, you can afford it, here are the steps to follow, each of which looks easy by itself...
Oh great, Microsoft bought the cable company!
I expected to see something about the cable company. Never heard of spectrum.chat. Is "Spectrum" their actual name? Or is it "spectrum.chat"?
You would not be able to legally recreate the 500 and just not use the name. We once had a problem within our Custom division (where clients retain the IP but pay us to do everything for them) and one client basically created something that was substantially similar in rules/methodology to another client's product and one client sued the other. Our employees were called to present testimony in court but it was settled before it got that far, presumably because the offending client realized they were going to get hammered.
There might be a way for users to rate the quality of the result, or at least report it if it is very wrong.
In my experience, Tor runs about as well as ProtonVPN with their "Secure Core" option enabled (which adds routing through an additional hop located somewhere in the EU). Tor has pretty good throughput, I think the problem is the the additional latency that comes from routing through multiple nodes.
Agree, currently there is zero intelligence in ranking. I need to improve both coverage and ranking.
I strongly disagree. Thrusting sex machines are not competing with a $2 vibrator. The goal is not to orgasm but to have an experience worth having, and thrusting sex machines provide a vastly different experience from a vibrator. The competition I describe was a functioning small business and not a sawzall. Honestly your comment seems super dismissive to me, and I don’t really understand the vitriol after I’ve shared honestly my experience for all to benefit from.

I wasn’t trying to start a billion dollar business. I was the only employee and I wanted to make enough to support myself while making a fun product. Unfortunately the product was too complex for me to do it myself, especially at that skill level.
For those who, like me, have never heard of this before:

Spectrum is a real-time chat service where each conversation has a permalink.
Fair enough, point taken. In my native tongue it doesn't work at all. I was mostly referring to the "s/he" abomination (and its variants) anyway.
The Audis were better than any other Japanese car I test drove.
The 142008 is to be expected. The page has 71003 code points, 2 bytes per code point (I guess that zh.wikipedia.org is simplified Chinese and normally only uses characters from the BMP) gives 142006 bytes.

I'd guess that the two remaining bytes are the byte order mark.
Even if credentials were stored in browser (ideally has a revocable token, not a password) and login was one-click?

100% agree. Super unethical and a potential legal issues. This is why NDA should be always signed and hiring developers out of the country is something that will make you execute your rights to the code and idea harder.
A library I built called Dynatable doesn't do that! It uses semantic, standard table elements for all serializing and rendering of tabular data.

We've since rewritten Dynatable to use vanilla JS and are in the process of renaming it to simply Dynatable instead of jQuery Dynatable.

The article says that Americans never really regained trust in American manufactured sedans since the 60s/70s. But then doesn't explain.. who exactly was buying all those sedans.. while not trusting them? There definitely were a LOT of American sedan sales for a while there.
A tragic story, but also one that shows once again that "It's not the crime, it's the cover-up" that gets you.
I quite often take a look at the code of Spectrum: https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum.

It's my go-to (with https://github.com/Automattic/wp-calypso) to get an idea of how they solved a particular issue in their React app.

I'm really thankful to them for open sourcing their product. I wish more companies would go this way.

Anyway, congratz to Max (also author of Styled Components) and the rest of the team!
