> Eat if you're hungry or your doctor tells you too. And when you eat, eat good food.

> I don't understand why people overcomplicate it.

Because it is, in fact, more complicated in practice. For one thing, it can take significant effort to isolate and distinguish hunger that signals need to eat for calories, the sensations produced by habitual expectation of food, cravings due to specific needs but not general caloric needs, and even thirst.

> The only difference is if you're trying to lose or gain weight, in which case it makes sense to watch how much and what you eat, when is less important.

When can actually be quite important if you are trying to do anything with law with your day besides losing weight when trying to lose, since managing to maintain a calorie deficit while mitigating the impact of the adverse effects of such a deficit and the associated stress on other activities is nontrivial.

> Follow your body's cues

Your body’s cues are setup to promote overeating when that is possible, because humans aren't actually evolved for constant, reliable food surplus but alternation between surplus and insufficiency.
Yes. The testing should be done on users that opt in (likely less than 0.1% but that should be OK if it's done properly) and it should be rolled out by releasing an update to everyone.

These so-called "best practices" often aren't.
All of that seems to equally apply to a prosecutor going after runaway slaves and their accomplices at the time when slavery was legal and accepted in community, does it not?
also, you might be interested in researching why cutting back saturated fats might not be as beneficial as it has been claimed for decades now. Actually, there is a new kid in town - ketogenetic diet.
Correct. No self-respecting "doctor" wanted anything to do with the messy business of surgery.

I found The Devil's Doctor by Philip Ball to be an interesting book on this sort of thing.
IMO he is clearly implying it came from a vaccine(s) but he is trying to do it without being seen as an anti-vaxxer.
Well, middle class now is closer to working class precariousness, than before, so it's not exactly that "every pair of points is further apart than it used to be".
The information density is typically much higher though.
But there is this important tidbit:

> The observation that housing
returns are similar to equity returns, but much less volatile, is puzzling. Like Shiller (2000),
we find that long-run capital gains on housing are relatively low, around 1% p.a. in real
terms, and considerably lower than capital gains in the stock market. However, the rental
yield component is typically considerably higher and more stable than the dividend yield of
equities so that total returns are of comparable magnitude.

In other words, it's the rental yield, not the capital gains, that make up for the difference.

I'd also add the "past performance is no guarantee of future results" caveat. The time period studied was one of immense population growth, so in advanced economies with plummeting birthrates a different primary driving factor could take hold.
It's still a dragnet. They're not SWATing a semiautomatic rifle up your nose - nobody's claiming they're not polite - but the fact remains.
How much of this is because Tesla is new and the aftermarket support isn't there yet? I also see you mention "Tesla certified", but there are plenty of non-certified shops people take their Tesla/Non-Tesla cars to all the time.
The Mozilla / Firefox teams must have a bunch of people monitoring HN threads. I always notice very aggressive downvoting whenever FF is criticized.
Not that I don’t appreciate a good William Gibson reference, but is there a specific aspect that makes this a reference to Neuromancer?

The idiom is common and predates Neuromancer:

In 1980 median house price in SF was $200k. Median US household income was $17k. So it wasn’t exactly affordable and of course the Bay Area is much more appealing now so it makes sense that relative prices have risen.

In Manhattan rent in 1980 was around $1200 for a one bedroom, so it’s not even significantly different.
Thanks! No, not quite there yet. Most other libraries are much further along - mine is really an 'exercise'...

I don't think so. Mozilla is not google, and apart from the mr. Robot error, that they apologized for, I am sure Mozilla is using it for making the browser better, and not to use you for targeted ads like the other browser maker does.
Mozilla hasn't exactly been known for great decision making with the 'feature' in the past. I disabled across all my clients after this shit: https://www.cnet.com/news/mozilla-backpedals-after-mr-robot-...
I tried Firefox recently because I want to ditch my Chrome habit and I love Mozilla but it had serious performance issues on all of my macs (fans would spin at max after 5 min, a long standing and known issue I guess) along with some real oddities on my android.

Between bad performance and these many recent missteps I ended up ditching it for just another chromium based browser out there. Though my experience is somewhat anecdotal I have to wonder how much longer Mozilla can keep it up before they end up as just another chromium flavor.

Edit: Wow I woke a beast I guess. Not sure what the insta-downvotes right at the start there were about.
Not everyone is an expert in statistics. But there were many other interesting points beyond the statistical in the article, like the implication of this phenomena on our economy.
Best wishes to dr R.Davis and his team - great job! My uncle suffers from Guillaine-Barre Syndrom (GBS) (or rather A-CIDP, but that still needs to be determined).

If we just stay focused on commercial health care, we don't have to litigate whether the Iraq War (materially) impacted health care costs prior to the ACA. And: this thread is about whether employer shifts to HDHPs and (more broadly) the ACA has impacted those specific costs, not the total government cost of providing all health care services.
I guess it depends on your definition of "journalist", but the author of the piece you linked definitely wouldn't call himself one. He's a comedian, actor, TV writer, etc. and for the Guardian he writes humorous columns.
Canada does things differently.

As a Canadian, I would say “not really”. Plenty of examples of people’s rights being violated by Canadian officials. Those events don’t get the scrutiny that US events do, but they certainly happen.
This seems...fine, in that I guess it's better that this is out there than not, but:

- Nest.js already kills in this role and I'm not seeing a lot of justification for "use this instead." That team, too, has a really impressive set of integrations and their stuff does a really good job of playing nice with each other.

- Sequelize over TypeORM when you're using TypeScript is a bold (read: IMO, foolish) decision. TypeORM is the least awful ORM I've seen in any language other than Ruby and Sequelize wasn't very good for JavaScript; it's all kinds of clunky for TypeScript.

- Is manual routing, instead of something like attribute discovery, really what people want these days when they're using a convention-over-configuration framework? Rails had to do it; NodeJS frameworks have other alternatives.

Anybody who's used this have any thoughts on why one would go with it over Nest.js or Koa?
> Back in the 50s and up to the 80s a signle-income middle class household could still send a kid to college, buy a house, and so on

For some parts of the US, yes, but it would be a generalization error to assume this was a common condition for everyone.
Online retailer algorithms collude to keep prices high
I was coming here to ask this exact question. There's no reason it makes sense to search electronic records at a border crossing. As you point out, the point of the search is to control customs and ensure there's no smuggling going on. But electronic records are not smuggled physically. There is zero reason to do so.

So the actual reason customs agencies perform these searches is that they are allowed to do so because of the way the laws are written and precedent is set.

I've only had 2 new cars. My Golf R was in the shop for a few days waiting for them to source a lower control arm to fix a creak I was getting from the front end.

Our Model 3 was in the shop for a couple of days over new year's weekend while they did a few small repairs, including replacing the entire rear glass (which was actually in stock).

Also, had the rear quarter window smashed in and it took me a few days to find a glass shop that had the part in stock. Most shops said they could get it, but they have to drive to the Tesla service center to get an answer on ETA, due to issues manning the phones.
What percentage of each? It sounds like this book barn could use some organization in general, and sorting by language might be a good first step. Then you can scan the English and French as lower hanging fruit, and maybe recruit extra help to deal with the Hebrew and Arabic manually, or something?
Yet it happens all the time.
By relying on opt-in you won't test whether a feature actually works for the average user, so if you don't test it, you might roll something useless/confusing/actively harmful out to all of them instead of just a few.

Oh, nice to see it's not just us. We build diagnostic devices, and getting some performance data (like how frequently our device provides inconclusive readings) out of some hospitals networks is a pain.
Companies only exist while there is some demand that they can fulfill. There's exceptions -- companies that manipulate the system. And of course we should expect that most companies are trying to manipulate the system to generally increase the demand for the goods they produce.

But that demand is real. This whole thread started on the idea of executives dying to end climate change.

I'm simply stating that idea is both outrageous and offensive.

Yes, companies have done bad things. Yes, they should be held accountable.

No, reparations from individual companies will not get us out of the situation we're in.

Regulation and enforcement are the only tools we've developed that seem to have any chance of working -- and we need to seriously improve upon those tools so that we can better enact change on a global level.

It's not the companies. It's the emissions, and a severe lack of regulation and guidance to curb them and those factors which increase their demand.
Are you implying laws should be ignored after a few years go by?

That’s not how laws work. Many of the laws that our important to daily life are hundreds of years old.
Your idea is very nice! I’m going to try it but without the use of zapier, instead I’m going to use python’s smtpd lib to directly receive the emails and parse them. Thanks for sharing
Part of that ranking is due to the baked-in assumptions: for instance you don't lose points for needing an oil change every year. That's just "normal". The fact that a Tesla doesn't need an oil change, somehow, doesn't give it more points with reliability, but if you think from first principles, it should.
Yes, among the basic check with hexedit or strings as suggested below.

When you are flashing a bios as the other poster mentioned, you want to be sure you have the right file and you will be able to restore it.

About SOIC8 clips, if you can't get a reliable read, consider soldering with stripping wire straight to the IO ports.

Stripping wire is thin enough that you can't break a leg of the chip.

Ensemble methods: bagging, boosting and stacking
American EMV has some dumb decisions baked in, but as far as speed goes it's not the chips, it's the existing in-store backend processors. A lot of them are over slow and unreliable connections (GPRS is super-common, as are phone lines shared by many points of sale). As processors are forced to upgrade, Americans are seeing faster chip transactions.

Companies that prioritize this--Walgreens comes to mind as an obvious example--have chip auth under ten seconds. It isn't optimal, but it's improving.

Certainly plenty of prominent scientists have had extremely odd views, and this does not much change the validity of their work. It appears his work has been peer reviewed, although how often and by whom would be an excellent question.

The most troubling assertion is that of plagiarism. If he has really plagiarized Sabine Hossfelder, he is both foolish (plagiarizing someone so prominent would be noticed) and dishonest (which might suggest a more pervasive intellectual dishonesty).

The difficulty of course is that valid equations might be independently derived. I am curious to read why the accusations were made. I assume if they are credible that independent derivation is considered unlikely for some reason.

Incidentally, the UMMO cult is an interesting one. They're one of the more believable of the New Age-esque UFO channeling cults that sprang up in the aftermath of various New Thought (think Christian Scientists or Unity Church) and Seventh Day Adventist movements.

It's highly likely that UMMO originated as a fraud perpetrated principally by a Spanish psychologist, although there is strong evidence for other help and some evidence for the involvement of intelligence agencies, although with what motives it is difficult to say. Intelligence agencies frequently infiltrate or utilize such groups (see Richard Doty), but as there are a number of possible motivations it is impossible to suss out why in most cases.

UMMO is one of two UFO religions I'm aware of-- the other being Urantia-- where reasonably technical and somewhat correct scientific information is given at length by a channeled source. Both religions of course claim prophetic success, such as Urantia's claims about the star system Wolf 424.

They are somewhat unique in this respect, as while many other UFO religions utilize scientific concepts or language, it is not usually anywhere close to correct (or even comprehensible, sometimes).

The relevance here is that both religions have, in part because of this, and in part because they were promulgated within professional communities, attracted a disproportionate number of technically minded converts: computer scientists, engineers, physicists, and such. (Although notably few that directly study the field of the claims. A physicist, for example, is not necessarily more informed about Would 424 than other physical science professionals, and is not equivalent to an astronomer or astrophysicist, despite some overlap.)

What other browser can you use if you are interested in some sort of privacy?

Is Chrome compiled from source safe from tracking?
If you’re on a Mac, you have Safari installed as well which is better than Chrome (or most Chromium flavors) on the privacy and security front, not to mention battery life and performance.

However, I’m sure Mozilla would like a bug report, because I’ve never seen performance issues with Firefox on a Mac. Edit: I should note that the couple of MacBook Airs I had it installed on were pre-Retina so that might explain why I hadn’t seen this particular issue.

Cute, but facts?
Thanks for the paper link. I read the paper and it's really a semiconductor sensor engineering paper, not a biology paper. The paper seems very preliminary; it shows that CFS and non-CFS sample have widely different impedances under osmotic stress, but the mechanism behind this is entirely hand-waving.

If I'm reading the paper correctly, the samples were peripheral blood mononuclear cells (i.e. lots of different cell types) in their own plasma. It would be nice to have samples that weren't so heterogeneous, since it's unclear what type of cell is causing the effect, or if it is something in the plasma.

It would be nice if the paper gave the actual measured resistances, rather than % deviation from normalized impedance which is an unusual unit. The paper's use of machine learning seems entirely pointless, basically drawing the obvious line between the two sets of points.

The discussion section didn't seem to have anything concrete. It reminded me of a patent application where you try to list everything that might possibly turn out to be vaguely related.

I apologize for the negativity; the paper's result is very exciting so I hope it pans out, but I found the paper itself disappointing.
Isn't it legal to destroy evidence that can be used against you? That's basically exercising your right to not self-incriminate.
