Quite a headline, I was hoping for some revolutionary new model or adjustment to physics and the known laws of thermodynamics but instead I found the same tired arguments of denialism and ignorance about dietary guidelines and why people are fat to begin with (hint: fat is stored excess energy, that excess energy enters the body through the mouth).

> Most government guidelines indicated that, as a man, he needed 2,500 calories a day to maintain his weight (the target for women is 2,000)

Those guidelines alone are a recipe for rampant morbid obesity, and most people eat far more than that as evidenced by the rapidly expanding obesity rate. The majority of people are simply far too sedentary to recommend anywhere near that level of caloric intake, given the levels of obesity they could easily cut those guidelines by a third if not in half. Or even less if they wanted to promote cures to obesity related disease like type-2 diabetes.

By the way, eating about 800 calories a day will cause weight loss (not surprising, laws of physics still apply) and reverse type-2 diabetes.

Oh well, let the science denial continue. Whether it is weight and obesity, evolution, climate, pollution, biological sex, evolution, flat earth, creationism, in the modern era facts no longer matter.

It's foolish to miss my point twice and then insinuate I'm the one being foolish. I expect no one to run Tumblr as a charity. I never stated any expectations, only explanations.

Tumblr disintegrated because they lost sight of their community, first with the Yahoo acquisition, and again with the Verizon merger. And now it's useless to everyone, both the users and the people who thought they could squeeze it dry for a few bucks. There's nothing to argue with. That's simply the facts. You're arguing a straw man and you don't even have a point, you're just playing a poor devil's advocate.
The initial library was very based on Plan 9 and Inferno libraries. It was far of being a direct port (not even a derived work strictly speaking), but it certainly took a lot of inspiration.
Generally the more specific your "requirement" is the more specific you have to get. So if you are looking for something specific you want to (to borrow a YC quote) "do things that doesn't scale". Talk to former faculty, colleagues and other contacts. Manually look up companies who do research or have business in your field. Make diagrams, charts and spreadsheets if you have to. That is how you would find the things that no one would generally advice you to do since they wouldn't know about them because it would be specific to your situation. (I hope that made sense).
You're right. Unless you have some predictable, ongoing medical expenses, putting aside money in an FSA is worse than gambling. I use all of mine every year because I see a provider who isn't covered under my insurance, but I don't think someone who's healthy should bother. If you have a physical and 2-3 routine doctor visits a year, it's not worth it.

The wonderful thing about physics and science is that it does not matter what you believe, fact is fact :)
That would be a sign of maturity in the Go ecosystem if a whole new language could be built on top of it - perhaps one that isn't C-like/Go-like at all.
It sounds like you might have gotten some bad advice from elsewhere – most new startups with 10 million authorized shares pay a DE franchise tax that is very close to the minimum (around $400). There are two different ways to calculate franchise tax for DE - the "authorized shares" method and the "assumed par value" method. The letter DE sends out uses the former to estimate your franchise tax, which is usually some huge amount. But when you go to pay your franchise tax, you can just use the "assumed par value" method and pay what is typically a very small amount. I'll shoot you an email on this as well!

Minor suggestion: rework the "Compare Point to Other Banks" part of your homepage to better differentiate the two columns and explicitly identify which column is for which bank. While it's obviously implied that Point is the one on the left with the more impressive point (ugh) in the comparison, at first glance it's possible to miss that for a second until your brain catches up.

> I just cannot take seriously anything that claims exercise and calorie restriction are ever ineffective

Nor should you, because it is utter nonsense.

Science denial with weight loss and obesity is just as prolific as science denial with climate, pollution, evolution, flat earth, sex, evolution, and any other post-fact topic.

I believe the GP’s point was that it wasn’t surprising regardless of the outcome (unless you find it surprising the author would make a test whose outcome is correlated to the test itself).

Which I don’t think is a particularly new concept or a good use of smart people’s time. Nor would people ever enjoy music, film, food, x hobby, based on what a scientific study determines is ‘best’ in the first place, making the whole thing based on the false premise that an outcome could ever be known through this method.

A bag of coffee lasts about a day or 2 in our office. Half of it goes into the coffee machine. Leaving it on a scale to show that it's gone seems to have no added benefit over ordering 12 bags every month and increasing the order if it proves too little. We have under 20 employees using the office daily, so having any more would make a scale especially useless. At home a bag last over a week. If I get 4 at a time, I only need to order them once a month-ish. This product won't make much sense in either of these cases. Also, in the Netherlands there are plenty coffee subscriptions for businesses, adding a scale won't make that much of a difference. I stick with my point that it solves a purely SV problem like Juicero did, it makes no sense to me at scale. (Pun not intended.)
Noticed the same thing. I have a deep seated distrust for "point" cards. I guess I don't really fly much either, so airmiles are useless towards me. I just don't see the benefit of acquiring points in a corporation's economic fiefdom, where they control the value of both the currency and the products you purchase with them.

FWIW, I have a decent amount of disposable income and do use a credit card, but with cashback. I'm ~keeping pace with inflation and providing some sort of cushion between my chequing account and disreputable folk, so it's better than most other payment methods as far as I can tell.
It's... interesting to read this. What I usually do is that I clean my butt with toilet paper until it comes out white,

Oh my. Multiple heterogenous but interacting caches? Heuristics? And if I understood it correctly, if any of the records you got from ANY are expired, you selectively query for new records from a list of cached types, not using ANY? What if the upstream added a record from another type in the meantime? Why have ANY at all then?

How is any of that "simple"? How do you transition the existing infrastructure to that behavior? Why?

> But if you map the frequency and severity of fires alone, it’s on a remarkably upward trajectory over the past two decades. It’s climate change.

...or it could be because the forests are so out of balance because they need fire to thrive that smaller events have oversized effects.

Before people started blaming severe forest fires on climate change they blamed the fires on the policy of systematically putting out all fires which allowed fuel to pile up on the forest floor allowing them to burn much hotter resulting in the trees dying. Before this policy the fires would just burn through the underbrush and the trees would survive as this is how they evolved.

Until you eat out for a week, because life happened, and all that stuff that got delivered goes bad. I don't think adding a scale for coffee changes anything about food waste.

This looks accurate except for the characterization that FoundationDB does not offer strict serializability and/or external consistency. It does.

See 12:10 of this video from the FoundationDB Summit: https://youtu.be/EMwhsGsxfPU

The Jepsen description of strict serializability is exactly what FoundationDB offers: linearizability with a real time constraint. All transactions are observed to have happened at a single point in time and a transaction observes the effects of all previously committed transactions.
That's only true of the REST API. The Events API has it's own v1/v2 split and I don't believe there has been any mention of the v1 Events API being deprecated.
I really like the clocks made by Maarten Baas, it's basically a 24 hour long video of a guy "updating the time" every minute.

John Steinbeck, "East of Eden", 1952.

"There would be five or six wet and wonderful years when there might be nineteen to twenty-five inches of rain, and the land would shout with grass. Then would come six or seven pretty good years of twelve to sixteen inches of rain. And then the dry years would come, and sometimes there would be only seven or eight inches of rain. The land dried up and the grasses headed out miserably a few inches high and great bare scabby places appeared in the valley."

...

"And it never failed that during the dry years the people forgot about the rich years, and during the wet years they lost all memory of the dry years. It was always that way."
I think there are two different things we call classical music. True classical music: timeless pieces like the ones from Beethoven, Bach and others. And what we call "musique savante" in French: serious music with complex patterns played by with virtuosity on the most refined instruments.

The idea is that the first one is enjoyed by most and appears in many forms in popular media. They are instantly recognizable hit songs "flight of the bumblebee" and "baby one more time" are not so different in that regard.

The second one is probably the one you are thinking about, and it embraces almost all of modern classical music. It is usually enjoyed only by connaisseurs.

Famous pieces like Vivaldi 4 seasons and others are both. They are classic timeless hits and also classical music in the sense it is serious business.
You make a principled point that I respect. I’m generally trying to get shit done. They aren’t always at odds with each other, but often are.

Personally, I hate web design and layout, so I want to do as little of it as possible. But I know I need a good looking site to be taken seriously. Templates have helped me out and generally last long enough that I can afford to hire a “real” designer.

Also, templates are $50 for a beautiful one. There are 2-3 OOM difference in cost.

This post took me back to my school days as well (Raleigh, NC). It was my go-to place whenever an assignment kept me late at the library, whenever I was bored of cooking but could only afford to spend as much and whenever I craved my usual scrambled eggs with cheese, toast and chocolate waffles. Waffle House was always open and always welcoming. Fond memories.

Insofar as those things provide any description of anything that might even loosely be described as a “system to allow rigging” it's the joint fundraising agreement between the Clinton campaign and the DNC.

Yes, some machines on different networks in my house plus a roaming laptop all got to talk to each other without hassle. They got random-looking ipv6 addresses, so I don't know if 'subnet' is the right word here.

Before, I had to act differently on the laptop based on where I was, and the raspi nodes on my guest wifi couldn't reach the influxdb server that was not exposed to the wifi net.

The problem is that all sources of information are biased.

I disagree. Maybe everybody is biased. But the problem's just not that one. Judges and juries are biased, but we still trust them with Justice, that means deciding on life and freedom for many.

The problem is not bias, but giving up to bias instead of trying to overcome it. And of course if you got paid by a party in the controversy, you should know you've given up any hope of honesty.
The post does specifically mention the outstanding need to better match patients with clinical trials, and given the author's expertise (and the other discussion in the post), I think it would be obvious to her that genetic tests would be one patient selection criterion. But she explicitly puts aside patient-trial matching.
Except that's your specific attitude towards language adoption. And while it's a perfectly reasonable stance, there's plenty of people who see a language with no libraries and see an opportunity to build their own. Every language ecosystem has to start somewhere.

Oh, I didn't mean during the trial (where, yes, it's the defense council's job); I meant before the trial. Like, "Why are we trying to demand that country X turn over Lord Notsobad? We don't have anything on them."

The ICC has a multilateral "Office of the Prosecutor" to go along with its multilateral court, and that prosecutor, just like any other prosecutor, can be talked down from an indictment, or convinced to drop charges, before the trial begins. I presume that the member-nation delegates can go to the prosecutor, just like city police can go to a regular municipal prosecutor, and say "Hey, why do you think we'll win this? This is silly. Don't charge the guy. Or drop the charges. They won't stick."

I've owned 3 different toilet-attachment-style bidets.

Cost is worth it if you have children around who may flood the bathroom.

Bidets are also really useful for women after they have a baby and are recovering from the trauma as well as folks with hemorrhoids.
Or Macedonia.

Which may be an equally a relevant point to this topic.
In the absence of housing construction & vacancies, it's probably pretty close to 1 person leaving to 1 person arriving. The limiting factor in the Bay Area is usually housing; if there were really a net outmigration, you'd see vacancies and a drop in rents. If there were a large net inmigration, you'd see new construction (which you do to some extent, but not a lot).

There's probably a mild net inflow that's accounted for by new construction, people doubling up in houses that used to be single-family, and homelessness. The continued rise in housing prices seems to indicate a large latent demand, i.e. many more people want to come or want to stay but are discouraged because they can't get housing at reasonable prices.
Uh huh. Because what we know as facts today will never be disproven.

For reference, just saying the CPU isn’t exactly what I meant. However, I do see some of it’s there.

What I’m pointing out is that generally this is a very loose claim. 1500FPS is for a very specific problem, on a rig that is still not defined, using images that are similarly not defined.

What’s the RAM, IO speed, what type of images, etc. Comparing to other methods on the same rig solves that.

Again, I see your point, but I was generally pointing out that the analysis or claims of this nature are not clean or clear.

> the Earth isn't even a little flat

Well, actually, it is a little flat. In fact it's quite flat; it has curvature (inverse radius) less than 1.6e-7 (0.00000016) per meter. In other words, it takes about 70 miles for it deviate from 'flat' by one degree.

(Golden mean is a fallacy, but that's not a very good example of it's fallacity.)
