I'm a celiac and I have a slightly different take on it. I've cut out gluten, sugar, caffeine, sodium nitrites, and MSG as triggers for sinus headaches (took years of trial and error to identify them all).

First, I love hearing carnivore diet stories because I relate to them a lot. Varying symptoms, cut out some foods, drastically improved health. I lived for 23 years with sinus headaches, I had to figure out how to work through them in college. Life is so nice now that I don't want to take a drill to my forehead.

That said, I think the carnivore diet is the shotgun blast approach. I bet there are specific triggers for their symptoms that they could identify by following a strict diet (e.g. chicken and rice) and slowly reintroducing stuff.

It's an area that is drastically understudied. All the celiac papers are on gastrointestinal issues (which I had, but the sinus headaches were 50 times worse). My understanding is eating gluten while celiac causes your body to attack your small intestine, which causes deterioration. This usually leads to problems with FODMAPs. My brother has issues with lactose, and for me it was fructose.

It's hard going to something that isn't evidence backed, but sometimes the best we can do is do the experiment on ourselves. I'm tracking what I eat everyday and when I get sinus headaches. I primarily eat protein. I get 3 beef patties and 2 small chicken breasts each day from the burger place at work. The french fries and corn chips at work are safe for me to eat, so those are the carbs I get regularly. I take a vitamin C supplement. On the weekends I cook steak, and some brazilian cheese breads. There is also a brand of gluten free bread with no sugar that I really like.

I'm extremely fortunate that I work somewhere that can accommodate my diet and that I can afford meat regularly outside of that. So yea, shout out to everyone else with weird food reactions, stay strong.
How much text content does an active user produce over 6 months? Most uers lurk, so the average user is probably producing a few hundred kilobytes of text. That adds up (and compresses) to only a few gigabytes.
Win 10 is pretty ok for keyboard users.
I don't know how big the anti-vax problem actually is in the US, but it feels a bit like "hey, here's a group we can all agree has stupid ideas, let's all shit on them and come together".

Using Google & FB to actively manipulate (parts of) the population and censor content seems like a door we don't want to open. Next up: smokers. People who think taxation is theft. Whoever my political opponent is.

If a person is suffering from chronic or mild-acute allergies I usually suggest they try eating nothing but steamed or slow cooked fatty lamb or beef for at least a few days and a see if symptoms improve, then introduce vegetables one at a time.

As mammals, being allergic to mammal muscle meat and organs isn't compatible with life.
You have to eat a heck of a lot, but definitely be careful with polar bear liver :)
>To be honest, I find the idea of passing a parameter to Log() (whether it's the value or the function) that your don't actually want logged, so that you can shoehorn two statements into an expression, abhorrent.

You've basically reimplemented Haskell's Debug.Trace[0] :)

The difference is of course that Haskell doesn't really have statements in the same way that C# does, so in Haskell it's nescessary to turn the log/trace-function into an identity function after you've applied the message-string.

I agree that it is ugly, and in any serious project I would use a proper logging setup, but I almost feel like the ugliness is a feature not a bug. It's like an extra cost when doing debug-by-print, which at least seem to keep me more mindful about cleaning up after myself.

Good nugget in the middle of the article:

> Of course, “be lucky” is not a very useful piece of advice. But some of their advice might help you to recognize and take advantage of your luck.

Many years ago I was told the new-age aphorism “luck happens to those who let it” and at least this unfortunate writer was able to see this.

My wife and I used to quote the statement to each other quite a bit as it happens. It helped make us seemingly more lucky than most.
That's assuming you can drop it.
That's under the assumption that the companies would not have offered a paid internship instead. And as said before, I don't believe that there a many legitimate reasons where a company that is able to offer proper internships is not able or unwilling to afford a meager internship salary if not for questionable motives.

(Also, what are you trying to do with the overly emotional aspect of bringing up your friends here? How is that supposed to work, should I bring up a tearjerking story of people who are "extremely insulted and upset that they were not able to afford an internship because affluent people would intern for free"? And then repeat your last paragraph, verbatim?)
Looks changed, but a lot of actions worked the same in Windows 8 from what I remember. The start screen obviously looks different from the old start menu, but in both 7 and 8, you could hit your super key and start typing something to search, which for me was often how I launched applications or found settings. You could still open the run box with super-r, they added that new menu with lots of options like shutting down (super-x IIRC). A lot of people didn't actually try to use Windows 8 like power users. I often defended it early on, and was of the opinion that the visual changes barely mattered. I stopped using Windows entirely before Windows 10 came out. More because I always thought GNU/Linux was better and I'd finally gotten brave enough to go all in than because of a Windows change.

I also tend to advocate for a minimal tiling window manager over the major desktop environments in the GNU/Linux world, but something I noticed is that Windows has some really specific keyboard shortcuts that not even GNOME and KDE had. Using Windows without a mouse is surprisingly doable. You can even hit super-b to move the cursor to your tray icons, and from there use space/enter to "click", your menu key for right click equivalent, etc. I think having good keyboard shortcuts in a GUI is really underrated. I use a lot of command line stuff, but a GUI with good keyboard shortcuts is sort of the best of both worlds.
Plain old cow muscle meat contains at least enough in 1lb to prevent scurvy (10mg). Vitamin C competes for glucose transport, so less glucose means less need for vitamin C.

What other vitamins and minerals can’t be found in animal
products? So far as I know, pretty much 0.

The vegans on the other hand... no B12, limited K2 (except fermented stuff), limited vitamin A, limited EPA/DHA/DPA/CLA, limited vitamin D (mushrooms maybe have some D2?). I’m being generous with “limited” here.
The Koch brothers would be nowhere near the top 40 based on the wealth they inherited. They may have inherited the companies but their wealth is not mostly inherited. I’m not saying they could have done it from a standing start but the Koch brothers are closer to Bezos or Gates than the Walton heirs.
The Difference Between Backrest and Hi-Lift Pallet Jacks
Backrest Pallet Jack
These are high capacity heavy duty pallet jacks with back rest. The backrest or skid adapter is being added to the high capacity pallet jacks. It is galvanized and it is a piece pump that has durability even when in the most harsh surroundings. Ergonomic handles appear with a shock absorbing, protective coating for a better user experience. This is a 3-position hand controlling lever – the raise, lower, and neutral. It features the foot control for an increased operator safety, reliability and efficiency. It also has an accessible ornament pallet jack stop.
Hi-Lift Pallet Jacks
This high lift pallet jack or the scissor lift pallet jack is a kind of functional, innovative combination of the pallet jacks and the lifting table. They decrease muscle fatigue with repetitive bending, lifting and twisting. The high lift pallet jack can increase the productivity up to 40% by using three functions with a piece of gear: transferring work stations, picking up loads, and raising them into an optimal working height.
The hi-lift pallet jack or the scissor lift pallet jack may be raised higher through the 3 chrome plated hydraulic stick. This has been compared to the raised height with the regular pallet jacks. The hi-lift pallet jacks possessed two side stabilizers and two automatic brakes that automatically extended out when a height is being raised higher.
The hi-lift pallet jack is a versatile edition to hundreds of business applications comprising the feeding press binders, the conveyors, assembly lines, cutters, also for bottomless skids and a lot more.
Scale Pallet Jacks
This weigh can move or shift a product in a step. It has the rapid verification of the incoming and the outgoing of freights which reduces the freight costs and the labor expenses. This appears to be the famous scale in the world that is powered by cell batteries.
1. yes
2. EU, but no. Companies hire from the EU first, immigrants second.
The argument is that there are no rational reasons for humans not to support nuclear. The only reason it’s “not up to the task” is because humans as a group are behaving incredibly stupidly by ignoring the numbers and murdering people with coal while concern trolling an energy that kills fewer people than your standard annual mass shootings.

So the rational arguments are everywhere. The problem is that people want to clutch onto their irrational fear and believe in eithe the fantasy of non existent climate change or the fantasy of solar/wind storage becoming feasible in 10 years or less.

In other words, as a technical solution there isn’t anything nearly as good. There are no rational arguments against that. It’s arguing with anti-vaxers at this point.

As an actual solution, well how do we deal with the anti-vaxer problem? The same could be applied there.

Ha, post on HN that you are on a carnivore diet and people will pounce on you to tell you that you are not eating """healthy""".
I think a very small number of people have carb intolerance (e.g. Jordan Peterson and his daughter), but a much larger number of people would benefit from reading The Mind Body Prescription first. I was about to try keto when I found that book, which was literally a miracle cure for me.
> Collagen is a primary structural protein in the human body, necessary for healthy blood vessels, muscle, skin, bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues. Defective connective tissue leads to fragile capillaries, resulting in abnormal bleeding, bruising, and internal hemorrhaging. Collagen is an important part of bone, so bone formation is also affected. Teeth loosen, bones break more easily, and once-healed breaks may recur. Defective collagen fibrillogenesis impairs wound healing. Untreated scurvy is invariably fatal. [0]

Looks like we should see several prominent YouTubers die horribly... about a year ago.

> The onset of symptoms of scurvy depends on how long it takes for the person to use up their limited stores of vitamin C. The human body is unable to make vitamin C. For example, if the diet includes no vitamin C at all, the average onset of symptoms is about four weeks. [1]

Also meatheals.com is chock-full of anecdotes of people healing themselves using the carnivore diet.
I had that scooter and used it for my daily commute for a couple of years. The first time I hit a pothole, I shattered my clavicle and had to call an ambulance. The second – and last – time I hit a pothole, I broke my humerus in two places but was was able to take a Lyft to the emergency room. I completely lost the use of my right hand for a couple of months because swelling pinched off the nerves. Extremely inconvenient for someone who works in front of a computer.

I would strongly recommend that you not ride an electric scooter. Consider the diameter of the wheels. If you hit any pothole or rail or anything which has a lip higher than HALF the diameter of that little wheel, you're going to go flying over the handlebars. If you ride it every day for months or years, you're going to crash, no matter how careful you are, at least on SF streets.
Weren't the Inuits or some other population preferring the fatty sides of the animal and throwing the muscle to their dogs? I heard that about them somewhere.
Not necessarily, it could support working with legacy algorithms to decrypt & verify old content. But any new content— any encrypt or sign- would only support modern crypto and associated features (eg newly encrypted files must be armoured / integrity checked, which I believe is optional now).

Users would need to upgrade their PGP tool sets, but all their old data would still work.

The point I was trying to drive at is all these other tools/suggestions lack a good user experience and ease of integration. GPG Tools offers the best integration for PGP I’ve seen, and is actually half decent.

If there’s a modern tool with modern crypto, easy to use, easy to integrate into mail and file management UI (Explorer/Finder/etc) then I’m all ears.

Right? The literature I have seen so far all indicates that BPA was replaced with even more toxic alternatives without the negative publicity, its more marketing than health.
As for as diabetes, all signs point to China beating US on rates in the near future due to a combination of genetics and rice. Popularity of KFC probably isn't helping either.
This a really neat historical perspective, although I do find one detail odd:

>If you are sneering at the memory requirement, note that this was back in 2010. Most Google servers were maxed at 32GB.

As I recall, Nehalem EP (launched 2008 or 2009?) could handle in excess of 100GB per socket? Not cheap necessarily, but definitely still counted as "commodity hardware" for that era. I say this recalling that even my mid-tier workstation from then could handle 48GB (in that wonky era of triple-channel RAM), though I only had it loaded with 12GB. Then again I could see, if said servers in 2010 were at the end of a purchasing cycle from 2007 or so, that they were "maxed" at 32GB?

Anyway, my from-memory nitpick doesn't detract from the article's ultimate point, though: distribution was an obvious need that would only become more pressing.
Talking about households is no longer UBI. If you want to talk about UBI, give numbers per person and then tell yourself if that proposed number could allow a single person to live in the Bay Area without working.

You’ve conveniently made an arbitrary division of 2.6 to hide the fact that a doubling would be required if UBI were truly universal, allowed people to quit working, and didn’t place restrictions on household status (as you just did).
You’d be surprised... perhaps if you expand you definition of meat to animal products (eggs, cheese, fish, shellfish, etc), then I would say a growing number of people do this.
To shutdown Windows 8 (not 8.1), you had to swipe from the right to bring up the "charms" thing and that's where the shutdown option was.

I remember myself having to search for "how to shutdown Windows 8" and feeling like a moron because I really couldn't figure it out on my own.
When I was referring to CommonApp, I didn’t mean to also include along it’s heavy fee per application.

Beyond the medical field and lawyers, what other fields do you believe that qualifications is a solved problem? Mind that a certification itself can also be cost prohibitive — that’s ok if it can be amortized over many apps though.
This is correct with a minor exception: if the posts are deleted because of illegality or DMCA (i.e. not because you pissed off mod of a random community) those aren’t reversible. You can make your client not respect this form of deletion as well, by modifying the source code, however that would make you legally liable.

Generally, you’re liable for the content your computer shares in all cases, so having that legality-based block list is a benefit to you. You can disable it, but you probably don’t want to.

All other deletions are just a flip switch away from being reverted. Ultimately, as the end user you have full control over both systems.
I understand why companies directed specifically at people not using the "normal" services end up as bastion of idiots, but with mastodon I think most of the flagship instances take a stance in this and block such things, see for example the official mastodon.social blacklist: https://github.com/Gargron/mastodon.social-misc. And so do most servers aspiring to be a community-led alternative to centralized social media...

One of the supermarkets near me often sells bags or vacuum packets lamb or beef offcuts. There are usually fatty, boney, meaty that don't display well.

Usually for about AU$4.50 a kg, compared to $14+ / kg for "quality" cuts of lamb.

I slow cook them, often with curry powder and extra turmeric, or a tomato base.

If I eat bread or pasta or baked goods regularly, I get intense urges to scratch my skin, cervical lymph nodes become active, my sinuses start getting mucousy, my knuckles and wrists start to ache, and I feel like my ears are a little blocked and sensitive.

A few good meals of mostly slow cooked mammal results in rapid improvement, and if I stay away from the things I know cause general, non-localised inflammation, I generally feel well. More awake when I'm awake, and more asleep when I'm asleep.
Just to clearify your phrasing. Are you saying that it would be ok of this breaks less than 20million webpages? Because that is still a hell of a lot of pages.
The problem with this is primarily that it's not the default. It's a remedial action to make a poorly functional system usable at a basic level.

People in the know are aware of Classic Shell. Most people aren't. Most people won't take any remedial actions or even find out that there are options; they'll live with it, hating it, and despising Windows even more. The number of people who go to the effort of installing Classic Shell is a tiny minority of the total userbase.

>> Well, you also didn't exist before you were born, for a very long time.. Does that bother you too?

I guess it's nice to think about that because every person who exists can attest for themselves that it is possible to transition from non-living to living. And maybe if it happened once, maybe it can again...

If you believe that consciousness is derived from biological material, then maybe the parts of your DNA which are responsible for consciousness will just show up in some parallel universe after a few billion years and you will get a fresh start.

What your actions are missing is a closed feedback loop. You have a few reject signals("must have x/y/z feature") but you will benefit from thinking like a game designer and developing more of them to qualify your decisions and generate new feedback[0].

This process means "knowing yourself" more than it does "develop one technique" - you have preferences and biases. You can't know for sure if you got the best phone. But you can know if your process for "buy new tech gadget" is improving by looking at your usage rates, cost/longevity, etc. and these are things that are governed by how you run your life, overall.

You are not rational in will, but in practice; if you design your personal systems well and follow through on what they indicate, you increasingly make good decisions despite your worst inclinations saying otherwise.

Yeah, but there's no local variables or dynamic memory allocation (from what I remember of COBOL85 on Tandems, anyway)
At this stage the only reason they are doing an IPO is to bail out the earlier investors. You'd be pretty stupid to buy Uber stock, my prediction is that it will make a nice 'pop' on opening day to ensure the underwriters get away with it and a swift crash after that when the bottom drops out and all lock up periods expire.

It's been done before.
I point isn't that it is impossible in theory. It is just that, in practice, we do not have a good track record of locking down pre existing languages. As much as Haskell is one of the more idealogically pure languages, its ecosystem is still written under the general assumption that its programmers are not malicious geniuses.

If you eat meat meat, as in complete meat from an animal, you're gonna be ok (although you probably need to supplement Omega 3, something Inuit had in excess because they ate fish too). If you eat organic low fat meat from Trader Joe's you'll have a bad time for various reasons. Not only will you not get enough fats, but you're gonna get very little amount of micronutrients, which are not prevalent in muscle tissues.
at the moment of their IPO

Is a case of Facebook, you were wise to not buy at the IPO, given that their share price dropped almost in half in the subsequent months.
I get it why it's useful in practice here, but on a conceptual level relying on proof-of-work always seems weird to me. It's like saying "you have to pay to use this service, but instead of giving the money to the host, you need to drop it down the drain". From an economic standpoint it just doesn't make any sense.

Windows was once quite exciting, it punched above its weight and enabled people to do stuff that they didn't know they wanted to do but were grateful for it.

This energy is now in the browser with Chrome being where the innovation is at.

Microsoft can do whatever they like with their venerable operating system but the days of it being exciting and newsworthy are over. The fun is elsewhere and they have missed the boat with mobile and the internet browser.

I know you can do development on Windows but I only see Apple things at those conferences and in meeting rooms.

Personally I prefer linux and will never believe that the Windows file system will be performant enough to be better than linux, not that this matters for everything but it does if dealing with data. And there is no way for them to fix that due to legacy issues. Decades ago they were going to make a file system more like a cool relational database, that dream died too.
