> My blood ketones during my fasting are through the roof, over 1.5 mmol/L after 15 hours of fasting, which indicates deep nutritional ketosis and an indication that lypolisis is efficient.

The problem is that there isn't any real data, on an epidemiological level, that says this matters. I don't mean to be offensive, it's just a weird obsession with the Keto community I don't really understand. Same with insulin spikes. They just don't matter. It's averages over a long period of time that matter. If you're eating two large meals, you're still releasing a lot of insulin, you're still doing the same amount of fat storage, you're just timing it differently. If that works for you, great.

> I can tell you this would not happen if I ate 6 small meals per day. And I know because I measured myself. But it’s also how the body works ... ketosis happens after the liver’s glycogen stores are depleted, which takes 10-12 hours and the switch to burning fat isn’t very efficient and getting less so with age. Your body needs a break from food in order to mobilize the energy in your adipose tissue.

This is a semantic construction that is not supported by the science. You are correct that you would not measure nearly as high blood ketone levels, but you are incorrect in the idea that you wouldn't consume essentially the same amount of fat over the same amount of time given the same caloric inputs. Most people also go into ketosis while they are sleeping.

> With 6 small meals what actually happens is constant hunger because you’re interrupting lipolysis every time you eat.

This doesn't matter. Given the same energy requirements and the same energy inputs you're going to burn the same amount of fat over a 24 hour period regardless of when those inputs come. Anything else is an extraordinary claim that requires extraordinary evidence.

> This happens even with the ketogenic diet, because even meat triggers a hormonal response, small but not insignificant.

Yes, keto is actually a low protein diet as much as a high fat diet. Most people ignore the first part.

> Also speaking from my own experience, I suffered from hunger at night, which made me binge. Switched to IF, hunger is now gone. Sounds like a paradox but it really isn’t.

This is great, and a very real reason for people to try IF/Keto/Other diets. But it does not suggest anything other than a compliance hack that is working well for you.

Ewww. Good analogy, but eww.
> ConservaSearch

Will never work from a mathematical perspective. The most valuable thing that Google ever gave society was a mathematical algorithm for search that then used crowd-sourcing for additional improvement of results. This will never work for propaganda movements because information born from observation tend towards resolution while other kinds of information tend towards bifurcation.

In order to describe what I mean, we can look at the scientific process around climate change, where the vast, vast, majority of the scientific community has been able to reach a common conclusion: Humans are causing climate change, and we should probably stop. As more studies and changes occur, this will solidify, although there isn't much further that we can move in support of climate change from the scientific community at this point.

On the other end, we can look at groups of faith and see how much different sects of Christianity differ throughout the world, given how they share the same source material.

If we were to try to build ConservaPedia today, let's say I downloaded or wrote a similar algorithm to Google, because quality of search is important or nobody will use it, and then try to remove ... objectionable material. Who determines what is objectionable? How do I use the results and clicks of people to move things to the top, to make the search more usable, if the end user cannot test the veracity of the results? Don't the results then only become a total crapshoot? The hands-on approach isn't going to work for long. I imagine that this is why Google is having trouble with attempts to build out for the Chinese market.

I don't think that the world of search can ever work effectively with any kind of adherence to dogma. This is why ideological dogma is typical spread in social networks instead, which is a far better way to spread dogmatic memes.
Just today, another story surfaced of a professor targeted for writing a reasonable contrarian view. His office door was vandalized, and a mob assembled. (Some would call this a "protest" but given the mild pretext and the problematic implementation and its disconnection from philosophically sound principles, I would call it more of a mob.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60w0DZX5-SM

This sort of thing seems to surface every month or so now. The field of evolutionary biology seems to be targeted in particular. Many of the targeted professors report that many of their colleagues offer them support in private, but dare not speak up in public for fear of also being targeted -- even tenured ones. In some cases, it looks like unverifiable accusations of sexual misconduct are being weaponized for this purpose. Trigger warnings and microaggressions and the like seem to be a favorite weapon to be used against professors.

During the Evergreen protests, students were marauding campus with baseball bats, looking for professor Bret Weinstein. More disturbingly, he was frozen out by most of the mainstream press, who only began covering him when their silence became deafening.

It could be an EU-USA economic war. We’ve seen the Being competition won over the A380, which had to be abandoned. Maybe any excuse to ground a Boeing airframe and incur costs to owners makes Airbus look better. It doesn’t have to be lobbying, it could be a natural inclination.

It’s mean, but I’m not surprised, given the money in the game, that Europe is acting up much faster than FAA for a Boeing airframe, and the opposite for an Airbus/DC airframe.

Not sure why you're being downvoted. There has been a brain-drain from industry and academia because FAANG and the Bay Area have been providing software engineers with much better compensation, even with the cost-of-living factored in.

I am not a lawyer, but I know people who have done it in the past. The states where you can do it value corporate privacy. When you create your LLC with a revocable trust, as far as I am aware, all you have to present is the first page of the trust document and the declarations of ownership are on later pages, the trust owns the LLC, you own the trust and your ownership is never recorded in public. It's complicated and is a great tool for people trying to do good (protecting identity for safety) and bad (patent trolls).

"Easily" and "modern" chat experience with XMPP?

I used to run my own Prosody server for some years before switching out to Matrix and there was nothing "easy" and "modern" with XMPP. Sure, I could get the fancy features such as end-to-end encryption, push notifications and file sharing... with Conversation for Android. But I could never properly sync my messages and conversations with a PC client.

I'm glad I don't have to deal with XMPP anymore, I know that the HN crowd likes to dream with it but the reality is that it was a major pain.

Offering free technical reviews for leads. Smart or dumb?
We work with early-stage startups to help kickstart marketing and design efforts (goodhands.co). Offering free brand reviews has either driven leads or grown our network (much of our brand review is templatized now). From an engineering perspective, would it be worth the time and effort to offer a similar technical review of the product?
This service is really great and I'm sad to read it will go away - but of course, it makes no sense from a money perspective to keep it free forever. But the initial idea - saving screenshots made by the browser to the cloud is fantastic, and much more convenient than the myriads of SAAS that provide this kind of service.
These honest, technically correct answers where you acknowledge limitations, but highlight pluses are terrific.

A really nice contrast to the typical hand-waving, defensiveness, etc, I get from a lot of vendors, product owners, etc.
> Biological cognitive differences (real or not) have traditionally been applied to exclude people from work, opportunities, and liberty that, in a free society, everyone should have the chance to access.

Sources? I don’t believe anyone has been using science (biological cognitive differences?) to exclude individuals from jobs, beyond the perfectly acceptable “let’s not hire the stupid and incompetent when we can hire someone less stupid and less incompetent”
The tax question here is what is the fair value of the benefit received, the waiving of admission requirements or the granting of admission. I would expect that to be pretty hard to put a dollar amount on.
> Have you forgotten what happened with Cambridge Analytica?

That was Facebook giving a third party everyone's information without consent. This is your friends having the information you shared with your friends.

> A “Facebook cookie” doesn’t have all of the information to all my friends information

It allows you to get all of the information that your account has access to on Facebook, which is all such a client would need.
IMO this is one of the key value propositions of Facebook. Almost everyone has it, it doesn't change or get lost when you lose your phone (like a phone number can), and it's likely to be around for a long time. It's excellent for remaining in touch with the long tail of friends that you might otherwise lose contact with.

Anecdotally I have the opposite experience. On my 2 computers (MBP/Win10 Desktop) Chrome starts up near instantly and Firefox has a noticeable delay. I just tried it and it took about 5 seconds to load. Not that this is really a deal breaker anyway. On my MBP it also makes the fans spin up.
Twitch uses IRC (which you can connect to with a regular IRC client, but you have to authenticate with a code somewhere from their website), which is nice as a occasional small streamer as it's the only way to see chat and the user list active in chat at the same time.

> So every company is therefore a monopoly on their products since competitors can’t sell them?

No, not every company has pricing power, which is the ability to raise prices without losing sales to competitors.

> Coke has pricing power on Coke

That's an interesting claim, but not one I've seen the evidence for.

> and can sell it at premium over Generic Cola.

A premium price alone does not establish pricing power (in fact, that the sustainable price is some additive or multiplicative premium of the price of competing goods would be evidence against pricing power.)

> Does that make Coke a monopoly?

If Coke actually had pricing power such that increases in price did not produce movement to competing products, then, yes, it would mean it was a monopoly, because the descriptively similar products would empirically not be competing with it.
This is only a paradox if you believe that society dictates gender expression, and not the other way around.
It's less a filter but more of a tack on. What I mean is that if you're already on Fastly and find their features compelling, $100 for a certificate is nothing and generates huge margins for Fastly. It's a bit like the BMW/German car model: their base price is not too bad but if you want even the most basic features the mark ups are insane.
> As a pilot you only need to know it is there, and what happens if it somehow fails.

You don't even have to know it is there. All you need to know is "hey, auto trim is acting very funky today and I'm having to fight it. Better override.". And hit two switches.

> I would be surprised if they had sold even a single plane less if they advertised it as 'very minimal pilot retraining necessary'.

They were likely afraid that it would require a new type certificate.
I think this is fantastic. I'd prefer law enforcement crack down on serious crimes of wide scope, as a punishment, as well as a deterrent for others who might wish to do the same.

If all they did was go after the most heinous crimes, it would be immediately obvious that you can 'get away with' everything else.

Unfortunately sounds like a manager problem, not (just) a coworker problem.

If your manager has been unwilling to intervene up until this point, and is only addressing the issue by addressing the entire group instead of the culript... Talking to your manager is just going to put you in a worse off position. In my opinion, you'd be sticking your neck out for little gain.

No matter how eloquently you say it, no matter how structured and logical your arguments are... You're going to come across as both throwing someone under the bus while simultaneously deflecting blame.

If I were you, I'd be more concerned about your manager than your coworker. But thats just me.

I live in Canada and while our supply management system for dairy seems to support our farmers, it actually sets up a class system that is extremely difficult for aspiring farmers to break into. Sure if your the son or daughter of an existing farmer life is great for you but anyone else wanting to get into the business too bad, you can grow the hay or grain at a loss that will feed the lucky few dairy farmers cows. I bought a gallon of 2% milk yesterday for $6, that is the average price up here. I used to live near the US Canadian border and almost every one of my neighbors bought their milk and cheese in the US on a weekly basis. I feel bad for the dairy farmers demise but a socialist supply management scheme is not the solution, rather stacking enterprises on those failing farms is a much better idea, check out Joel Salatin on you tube for a viable solution.

Mozilla has a storied history of roadblocking Google on principle. This outburst has all the hallmarks of an ideological objection, rather than technical, another in Mozilla's longstanding crusade against Google. If the proposal is a net benefit to developers and users, maybe energy is better spent in including this in Firefox, versus demonizing the semantics of a blog post from the competition.

For the curious, below is a non-exhaustive list of promising tech clearly beneficial to developers and users, killed by Mozilla, on principle rather than technical merit:

1. WebSql - A web port of SqLite - arguably the world's second most used (and loved) tech. Instead, we have IndexedDb, which is such a damn hassle that a million wrappers exist to deal with it's shortcomings and complexity, including the tech presented in this blog post.

2. Nacl/PNacl - A precursor to WebAssembly which already had threads, SIMD, permissions, security ... figured out. By design, most Nacl code will run faster than webassembly, as Nacl's sandbox only excluded certain processor instructions deemed a security threat to it's sand-boxing model

3. HTML5 Storage: A file-system like storage for the browser! Killed by Mozilla...

It's perfectly possible to do some nifty tricks with CSS alone. The one thing this author has omitted is the impact this has on accessibility.

Be sensible and use JavaScript when it's appropriate. Please don't think it's cool to create some fancy JS-less widgets and forget about accessibility.

I was on a Norwegian plane once going from Oslo to London, 3/4 into the journey, just before descending into Gatwick, we got told the plane is turning around due to fault on the plane. So deflating when you are nearly home. The pilot did a good job calming everyone down and explaining it was a minor fault, two duplicate sensors were showing different values, but still, enough to recall the plane.

So basically another 1.5h flight back to Oslo, a few hours wait, then on a replacement plane (thank god) with another flight back to London. A long day.

I can, however, understand it. As with this 737 Max-8s they did not want the plane grounded in an airport where they don't have a full service centre with parts etc. Had it only been a few years later we could have continued as they made Gatwick one of their major hubs with probably full stock of parts.

Though I do have a rule of preferring flying out from an airport with a "local" airline, as they are quite likely to have parts and chances of spare or frequent incoming planes to shuffle around to.
