Most reliable method in my own experience: simply eat less.

Eat your normal amount of meals, shovel it in your mouth, but stop before finishing the whole portion. I eat maybe 75% of each meals and toss the remaining bits. Do it for a couple months and watch the weight magically shed off.

It works because it requires no change in meal-type habits; it’s simply fewer calories. End of the day, that’s always the goal and this way is the most direct and simple

When the meals come where it’s hard to stop at 75%, I force myself to toss my napkin and utensils on the plate ensuring the food is now “dirty”. So altogether, it’s very few behavior changes make for a foolproof method.
Ah yes now that it's all about to collapse is the perfect time to finally allow regular people to participate as startup investors.
These concerns all apply to existing jail breaking methods. An official image would be much easier to make obvious that it’s not the same as the non-rooted image.

In order for any of those threats to work it would require physical access and access to passwords and accounts (for example reconnecting to cloud services, restoring backups or even just unlocking the phone to perform a flash). At that point I don’t think it’s having or not having root access that is the issue.
Have you been to HK? The level of inequality there is staggering and the cost of living is much higher than most western countries, including things such as rent.

You think SV valley rents are bat shit crazy? Take a look at HK real estate listings.
I believe the recently announced Afterburner card for the upcoming Mac Pro is an FPGA. [1] Maybe they're trying to make a reconfigurable accelerator? Would be amazing to be able to decode REDCODE RAW, ProRes RAW, etc, then turn around and reprogram the FPGA to accelerate encoding of H.264/H.265/AV-1/etc faster than a CPU could.

Further, I think RED has a pretty close relationship with Nvidia [2]. For RED customers, it'd stink to buy a beefy Mac Pro and not be able to edit 8K REDCODE RAW as well as they could on other OSes that have better Nvidia support.

Especially when you consider when the Mac Pro finally ships, it will probably be up against Zen 2 Threadripper (at least 32 cores, likely more), Nvidia GPUs, and PCIe 4.0 SSDs at a significantly lower price point. To not have solid REDCODE RAW support would be a huge miss for Apple.

Lots of leather wallets will discolor basically anything. I get little streaks on all my cards. It probably can get scrubbed off my "platinum" cards somehow but sure doesn't come off with casual cleaning.
Before getting to the code, you need to understand the principles, which are getting quite complex. I would start by reading how mpeg-2 worked, it’s sufficiently simple. Then move on to h.264, you’ll see a shitload of innovation there, not all of which is easy to grasp. And then look into state of the art stuff.

The recent video codecs are incredibly complicated, and as a solo developer, it would be pretty hard to develop a codec by yourself. You may be able to invent some feature that improves the coding slightly, but coding efficiency is getting pretty hard to beat.

What to read and what code to learn is difficult to say depending on your objective. If your objective is getting a job in video coding, it’s not too hard cause these jobs are quite academic and you don’t get paid much, so if you know some coding and show some interest in learning the field, I don’t think it’d be too hard for you to find an intern position in a lab or something.
Looks interesting but its a CMS not a CRM ;)
People have cancerous mutations all the time, yet those aren't the cancers that kill us. Cancers people die from tend to have grown, to a size you can detect. When someone suffers from life threatening cancer-like symptoms, it's not literally impossible to find whether they actually have it. This seems to be the case for chronic lyme, where the medical consensus is that there is "no reproducible or convincing scientific evidence of any relationship to Borrelia burgdorferi".
https://nobaproject.com/modules/hormones-behavior here it says that a change in hormone levels can trigger a change in behaviour, but on the other hand it can be the result of changed behaviour. For me as a laymen it is not clear how to read all this.
ime most introductory linear algebra classes do not affect students to develop a robust mental model of the fundamental theorem of linear algebra. the first picture in the course description is this very model, so ideally this class does that. i hope...
A fun comment, but it's a really easy paradox to solve.

If you have less than 1 million dollars you should be saving money. If you have more than 10 million dollars you have too much money.
Well, making the darn thing white certainly doesn't help!

Clearly they didn't learn much from all those black scuffed dirty white MacBook charging cables...

This seems all but a guarantee!

This thing will be handled by dirty hands, slid in and out of machines, put into those folder things at restaurants (I've spilled salsa and other things on those more than once), and more.

I have a few metal cards... They're all dark colors, and I've never once had to think about how to keep them clean looking.

It’s really not a blue state vs red state thing as much as a swing state vs non-swing state thing. Right now it’s more blue because trump is in power, but if democrats take the White House (and especially if it’s without winning the popular vote), red states will be jumping on the bandwagon. Before 2016 red states were terrified of the electoral college “blue wall” and many were very close to joining the compact before the 2016 election made it politically infeasible.
Yes, if your job is to build bridges, it's much more important to be able to make people like you than to calculate statics! Good feels or bust!
If a card made of an unusual material is enough to garner adoption, consider me impressed and maybe not of the highest of business acumen skills.

Implying that Apple is a particularly aggressive company when it comes to patent enforcement. Which I think most all of us can agree they're not Qualcomm or IBM.

What trust is involved in this instance? No special access was given to the researcher AFAIK. Anyone with the skills and interest could have found the bug, regardless of the bounty program. The bounty in this case seems like an incentive to report instead of selling an exploit.
REDCODE and the competing ProRes RAW are lossy codecs the work off the raw Bayer mosaic data. The article does a poor job of explaining this.
This article is about how replacing part of the process is not enough (Edit: for global companies with complex supply chain demands) - the whole is greater than sum of its parts. It might make shortterm sense under the tariffs restrictions which will likely extend into Trumps potential second term, but there is still reliance on Chinese manufacturing logistics, hence China+1. Some of the +1 are economically viable regardless of tariffs due to raising Chinese labour costs, some are ostensibly fit only for short term tariff-engineering.
I took three months off each time. I suspect I'd have been very sub-par in a work context as like others have mentioned, the overriding change was lack of sleep. We definitely felt zombie-like for some good proportion of that time. Perhaps the extra brain matter was trying to compensate for running on empty? :)

We organised with me as evening shift - so mum could get a little uninterrupted sleep, and she picked up the morning shift.
> Why exactly should the World Bank and the US/Europe be the only top players in the game again?

Because China exploits their loans to have leverage over the countries they deal with - there won't be any criticism of the Muslim Gulags or the oppression in Hong Kong from any country that has loans to China. In contrast, European loans do not come with such strings.

The current Chinese government is a threat to the Western model of democracy and human rights, nothing less. But because of the world's dependency on China as a manufacturing shop, no one dares to do anything about them.
Do they also compile and run across all platforms supported by rust compiler?

Because that is the biggest asset from stuff being in the standard library.
3) The IPR process is expensive to defend and has a high likelihood of cancelling at least some claims, so, like many patent battles is not about the patent at all but is about creating uncertainty and risk in order to alter the negotiating landscape.
Just tried this with my Yubikey Nano and Vanguard Investments, after changing my u2f to "true" in about:config. Does not work at all. Vanguard shows the Yubikey login prompt but it doesn't activate the Yubikey, and pushing the key just spits out a OTP and dumps it to the browser search bar. Oh well.
>this makes little sense from an evolutionary standpoint

I am certainly no expert on this area but it sounds to me like you are concluding that the study must be invalid, based on a bit of armchair science.
Coffee, Even a Lot, Linked to Longer Life
People are worried about the wrong thing, IMO there are a lot other more important things that we should be worrying about instead.
Actually they don't, C standardization just dumped that standard library into POSIX instead, which I why all major OS end up supporting POSIX if they want to make C developers feel at home.

And you usually see them cursing the platforms that don't care about POSIX support.

And ISO C++ has repented themselves from following C's footsteps and have been improving the standard library since C++11, mostly by integrating boost libraries.
In audio compression most codecs remove data outside of the typical human hearing range to improve the compression ratio - people can't hear that part anyway so there's no reason to save it. I guess RED wanted to do the same thing for visual data.
Exactly, just report it as lost and get a new one!
Except that is simply not true, and there's no evidence for it.

British corporations that existed in the HK market may have extracted revenue, as might any corporation, of any nationality with their overseas operations. The Hang Seng is a major stock market in its own right, so the majority of money was staying as HK money. The British government, on the other hand, was not receiving billions into the treasury as a consequence of holding Hong Kong.
It’s fetish-oriented design.
Why Finland leads the world in flexible work
Looking into the T drop in fatherhood, the original study seems to account for self reports of 'sleep quality' but I wonder if sleep deprivation is not still a confounder in this finding.

Annedoctally as a recent father of a 6 month old, I would likely self report a good sleep quality in a questionnaire. However, objectively I know I sleep about 5 hours 30min yesterday evening, which would be sufficient sleep 'deprivation' to impact T production.

Also I think parents in general will also have strong bias to not want to acknowledge their own child as a 'nuissance' in a survey/questionnaire.

My key point is that it would be important to reproduce this finding with actual sleep tracking instead of self-reporting sleep quality, to confirm if this is indeed linked with a bonding/interaction mechanism with a child or an unfortunate secondary effect of sleep deprivation.
I would like to understand this better because WeWork has a lot of open positions right now. Is it all a front? Much of this article seems to focus on it not having the margins and network effects of Apple, Facebook, etc.

Devil’s advocate: Amazon has dinky margins and was unprofitable for many of its early years. Physical servers have “wear and tear”. But they are a winner because they have developed competencies and efficiencies that let them rent out infrastructure that fast growing companies would rather not own and manage. Could WeWork be like AWS for office space?

Looking at their open positions they have teams around evaluating, visualizing and instrumenting spaces. In addition to the flexibility to scale up and down. There’s a lot that’s sketch about their company structure but if companies are going to outsource say payments to 3rd parties like Stripe, why wouldn’t they do it for office space which is a huge PITA?
Can’t you just serve yourself less food rather than deliberately wasting a quarter of it?
You've made a very good point that proficiency in developing compiler infrastructure does not imply that you're qualified to develop every specific aspect of a standard library. Date/Time, as you pointed out, is a very good example of this. It's a very complex domain that requires specialised knowledge.
I'll counter this by saying that one aspect of language design is choosing the scope of the project, and deciding how best to implement a standard library targeting the language's intended domain. If your language is designed to implement web servers, then developing a GUI library might be a poor investment. Consequently, if your language is designed for implementing system applications, then investing time and talent into developing things like FFI, Filesystem and GUI functionality are just the prerequisites to the language being useful in its intended domain.
It's not just visiting, it's pork too, there's a reason why there's a net wealth transfer through taxes from those states that are not in play to those that are.

You could extrapolate that into an app. :-)

But seriously, congratulations on getting to that level of bonding with child. It was also the same for me and it is magical!
For me personally the benefits I already got from the program are worth a fee and stake, and without them I would have taken much longer to take that leap of faith into starting my own company. And it's fair enough especially for a first time founder like me, considering the risks involved. I am newer than them.

If I was someone more established with an existing network and knowledge of how these things work, that would be a different story.
That's why I said "I don't know of any." I would love to know more if you know anything about what they're doing. As the only reference and information I could find about this company was literally this one paragraph (and I tried), it's not enough to say it won't work, but I think it's the company's job to explain how they will make good on their claims.

Are you involved with this company?
Which is only true if we forget about POSIX support that everyone kind of expects in every platform that offers C compilers.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Apple. This is a company that popularized GUIs, gave us hyperCard, gave us the iPod and the iPhone and now it’s selling us a credit card? Really? Am I missing something? This is innovation and I’m just too old and nostalgic recognizing it as such? Help an old geezer out here.

It seems like they’re just excluding domestic labor from their calculus. The fact that people had breaks from farming tasks doesn’t mean they were filling that time with medieval Netflix.
The resolutions of 4K/5K/8K with completely lossless at high frame rates or at native sensor resolution in terms of storage for hundreds/thousands of hours of source material for marginal audiophile-like puritanism/placebo magical beliefs is just way too expensive for essentially no marginal return, because there are fundamental limits to psychovisual and psychoacoustic thresholds that no human can discern in a given playback venue (different for large IMAX, normal theater, home theater and small phablet; and different to a degree depending on an individual's would-be double-blinded or bio-electrically/fMRI measured thresholds.) The goal of pseudo-"lossless" compression is to be very conservative on what to throw out because transcoding to other formats can always (and must) optimize (throw away) data later... it really is marketing wank because there is some compression, but the idea is it's aimed to be minimal as to not matter in the final cut product.

> - Many financial institutions are required to hold a certain percent of portfolio in safe assets.

In practice this is turning into unnatural demand guaranteed by the law, which goes against free markets and will eventually implode upon itself. If you force the market to buy a certain product regardless of quality, then the underlying quality of that product will erode (as there is no longer an incentive to provide quality and quality implies cost), and the market will evaporate as stakeholders disappear and move to other markets which do assure real quality. That there was natural demand for such products in the past, and indeed that natural demand may coincide with unnatural demand in the present, is not a guarantor for demand levels staying natural in the future.

In context, this creates underlying pressure for investors to divest from Euro holdings. It's likely that investors are currently sticking with the Euro because they have few other avenues for escape, but this is not likely to hold - whether due to Brexit/Euroskepticism or some other external crisis which changes the playing field.
There's also various kinds of registrar concerns; registrars revoking domains for questionable reasons, the WIPO/UDRP regime, etc.

It all comes down to whether you think the current stewards and legal regimes and ICANN are doing a good job or not. [I'm undecided].
Absolutely 100% what you said.

But now the question is: why pretty much NO government has ever succeeded in this?

My view is that the only hope is an EU-wide requirement to change packaging, etc to be able to still sell to the EU. That would be a big enough market for every single company to comply.
From what I remember, the book 'Quantum Mechanics in Simple Matrix Form' explicitly discusses which variables are quantized and which are not, according to standard quantum mechanics. It takes a few chapters to develop the argument.

Yes, an abacus stores information, but not an infinite quantity; the information is only a few bits, and it's interpreted that way because we take a very low-precision view of the state of the abacus by dividing the rungs in half, mapping each side to 0 or 1. This is the key; the units of position used for measurement.

The object itself can be at any 'true' position (including an irrational position) but no measurement device has enough precision to say for sure; so I think the answer is that objects can take any position, but the fact that measurement-devices are limited makes it a moot point.
All the more reason to use the cardless apple pay then, eh? Hmm..
You make it sound as if washing and ironing is a massive chore.

Let's say you have 5 shirts a week. Step 1: When you do your white wash, throw in the shirts. Hang them up afterwards. Incremental cost: 2 minutes of your time... Step 2: When you do ironing, incremental cost of 5 shirts @ 3 minutes per shirt is 15 minutes... Probably less that your two trips to the dry cleaner. Plus, nil $ cost, no plastic wrapping to throw away, no use of dry cleaning chemicals.

The article specifically calls out Namecoin, but doesn’t say anything about how Namecoin falls short or why it can’t be augmented/improved instead of building a whole new thing.

Just stop buying things in plastic . There are alternatives - stores that sell products in bulk, growing your own food, reusing containers. The solutions are there.

Yes, it's just like I thought. You're comparing against transaction-oriented DBMSes, or ones which handle documents rather than tabular data (and hence slow on tabular data).

One possible exception is InfluxDB - I'm not familiar enough with it.

Anyway, try running TSBS on columnar DBMSes like Actian VectorH, Vertica, SAP HANA etc. ClickHouse may also be relevant; they don't support any possible schema, but it may be enough to run TSBS.

Weight gain has been the most obvious impact for me, but that’s probably a consequence of a collapse in willpower/discipline as a result of sleep deprivation and stress.
The trick with shorting is timing. Sometimes financial indicators continue growing for 2-3 years after the company peaks. Apple cider vinegar anymore perhaps decay but it's unclear where the markets would price this in.
More realistically it was written by someone who once as a bored undergraduate (apparently at Princeton) sat through a philosophy course where he read Bentham and Mill (and also Hegel and Kant), thought that the differences between Bentham and Mill were a bit blown out of proportion, and had an amusing idea about how to write a satirical letter where this got taken to an extreme.
No, that's absolutely not fair.

Someone took a high risk working at a small startup. That risk should be rewarded with something OTHER than a "nice" job offer, which you can get in 1-2 month of interviews anyway.

I don't really know what the Apple card features but I recently switched to a mobile first, new, "fintech" bank (bunq) and it is a breath of fresh air. The stale personal financial sector is very ripe for some disruption imho.
Working in Food industry as well, do you have any web site that specialise in Food Packaging news?
I think there should have been no physical Apple Card. The design is very Apple, and surely looks and feels great. But it risks upstaging the big idea of payment flow modernization.

To stretch a bit: the iMac asserted that you don't need all those ports, and the Apple Card should assert you don't need that piece of plastic - or laser-etched titanium - in your wallet.
