I read somewhere that eating raw cabbage means your body has to work extra hard to digest it. Point: don't eat cooked cabbage, eat raw cabbage.

In fact I read eating raw cabbage takes as much energy to digest as it gives you in calories. I don't have a link at hand but I remember clear as day that I read this somewhere.

Go get all your comments, and submit them to the copyright office. Remember, you have innate copyright even if it's not registered. But registering ALL your comments on HN can be done for $50.

Then file a DMCA against your content. If they don't remove, then you can sue up to $135k/violation.

You can also register as much content as one shot. So if you have the time, cover all your content, everywhere. And if some org gives you the run-around, DMCA'em.

Also technically, you can DMCA them without a copyright filing. But having that legal backing has real teeth.
Socialism seems to act like a societal micronutrient. A deficiency leads to the possibility of wide range of social sicknesses whereas overdosing on it (communism) is acutely (one generation) fatal.

> Education is good for everybody - the poor may perhaps not gain on the rich, but their quality of life will be better than their similarly poor parents.

I'm not in the UK, Canada rather, but our generation is more educated than our parents' by a rather large margin, yet we're the first generation that's going to be poorer than the previous. Not sure this is progress.

While we have computers and cell phones nowadays, buying a house and raising children on a single income is a pipe dream for most. Wages have stagnated in a bunch of industries. Yet the rich get richer.

> Severe redistribution of wealth can have second-order effects : people stop working and producing if too much of their labor is taken from them.

I did mention that, and yes it does. Hence a middle ground.
Interesting how the whole world was in an uproar over Assange endangering lives and this gets a free pass. We should make up our minds about stuff like this, either Assange should be treated as a reporter or this reporter is endangering lives.

I hope that whoever this mole was that he/she has good life insurance and no kids. Based on this info it should be trivial to figure out who it was and even if the journalist got it wrong there will likely be repercussions against the people implicated here.

The flip side of this is that developers don’t have a good record. Cheap, badly done developments and a history of buying, then revealing their true plans. “Oh, it turned out to be structurally unstable, so we have to demolish”.
And that's great. It's inspiring to lose weight and be healthier.

Not trying to take anything away from what you accomplished, just trying to sort out where the health benefits are coming from: it's weight loss. From reduced caloric intake.

Personally, I like fasting. In an era when food is available 24/7 I think it helps teach self-discipline and clearly reduces the likelihood one will overeat.

I also like vegetable-heavy diets. Clearly good for you. But to say kale smoothies have "super nutrients" is not scientific. While it's tempting to confer special properties on the foods which have helped transform your life, most likely these are just methods to reducing over-eating.

Congrats again.
Without the US (and the UK), Iran would still be a democracy and the situation would look very different.

As far as I'm concerned, the US is dealing with a mess of their own making. As they should. And I don't have to like the way they're going about it either.
How to Lie with Statistics
> Please provide sources.

This is sometimes even lazier than not providing sources.

There's always waste. If not I'd been a lot fatter than I am because at times I ate much more calories than I burned.

What is true is that a steady calorie deficit will cause weight loss in the long run, and can to some degree be calculated and predicted.

Calculating the effects of calorie surplus on the other hand is a bit harder.

You will have trouble finding anybody who would agree that being born rich equals success. Being born rich and then not blowing it is success.

Families that have been wealthy over generations have figured out how to do this, while the "noveau riche" often fail after one or two generations. There's many stories of famous actors or musicians or lottery winners who went from rags to riches and then right back to rags.

100% agree with the VG (Vegetable Glycerin) recommendation, you will have to add a small 20-30% percentage of PG Propylene Glycol to decrease the viscocity (or alternately use pure VG and cut with small amount of normal saline but it won't make as nice a vapor) and then can use it in any actual vape device used for nicotine as these are meant to use water-based not oil-based mixtures.

For marijuana/hemp you can make a water-based tincture using VG as the solvent just using dried plant matter. A magical butter machine can do it, putting it in a bottle and shaking it up every day for a few months, there are likely other methods. It's similar to making a CBD/THC oil but instead using VG as the carrier.

Making your own tincture from decent-quality dried plant matter is the most economical and surefire way to know that it unadulterated and limited in contaminants.
Make sure you have a close friend or family member, that you fully trust, when you try psilocybin or LSD. I also recommend you start with a smaller dose and work your way up. My first LSD experience was 50µg, and my second one was 100µg, and that second experience made me happy I'd chosen to respect the substance and not consume it alone at that level - I felt that I would have been really susceptible to being pulled into a "time loop" had my friend not been there and been assisting in providing me a source of continuity. I think I'd be open to a 50µg trip (or lower dose as well) by myself, but that's about it.

Psychedelics also have different effects on different people. My psychedelic experiences have manifested in largely time-related ways. With approximately 40-50mg DMT, I experienced the sensation of being dragged kicking and screaming, so to speak, through a time loop that began at the point of consumption, and ended at what was "now", and the sensation of being ping-ponged back and forth. My 100µmg LSD trip was much more subtle, almost feeling like I was a sinewave oscillating around the "axis of time", and at the points where I was perfectly in sync, there were no visuals and a perfectly clear mind, while at the "out-of-sync" parts, I felt like every moment was a "flutter" of time, and I felt like I was gently being "tugged" back to the aforementioned axis.

Highly subjective, and largely our brains interpret these experiences based on our already lived life, and the experiences that have shaped our psyche.

Be safe, be careful, be respectful of these substances, and they can teach you quite a bit about yourself and about reality. They can also help you dig deep and find potential solutions to psychological issues (but if care is not taken with regards to set and setting, those issues can be exacerbated).

Technology is already making a difference. $30,000 watches and yachts on Instagram are revealing corruption and tax evasion all over the world. Police violence is being recorded and distributed. Secrecy is harder than ever - Russia sent agents from the middle of nowhere to kill someone and from low-quality photos the internet pieced together their identities, ranks, where they lived, their career paths. We're not far from it being impossible for one parent of a child to remain unknown or unaware, that's going to be a funny one.
The story of the expedition in the Russian Far East to find the natural quasicrystals is very interesting. I was fortunate enough to see Steinhardt detail it at a colloquium at MIT 5 years ago. Unfortunately I can't find a video of him giving the talk anywhere although I imagine most of the story must be written down in some article.
Skipping breakfast is so damn effective because in the morning blood-cortisol levels are quite high, making it easier for your body to store so energy, energy we provide by breakfast but generally don't even need at that time.
>Generally speaking 1 lb = 3,000 calories. What you're essentially arguing is that the caloric measurement of vegetables is wrong

A pound of kale has around 227 calories. Spinach is similar. You are off by an order of magnitude.

“Kilograms” of green vegetables are absolutely below a typical 2000 calorie diet.
Absolutely a valid observation, every idiot needs a large multitude of enablers. But those never seem to be in short supply. Come to think of it, neither are the idiots.
Not on questions, though.
I found that my body started to crave vegetables. It is really weird because I used to get sugar cravings, and now my body has completely flipped to vegetable cravings! My experience is that I felt more in tune with my body, and I could 'hear' what it wants, or doesn't like.

Another thing I didn't put into the original post is that I struggled with a blocked/stuffy nose since I was a little kid. Two weeks into my diet change, the life-long symptoms were gone (and continue to be gone). "I can now breathe through my nose" might not seem very miraculous to most people, but it is to me.

Having had a life-long diet of meat and processed food, I don't really miss it so much as I now actually love healthy food and I can 'smell the roses'.

Right, the iconic look of the buildings in Paris is entirely a result of a regulatory loophole on building height and the Parisians “maximizing profit” in that environment.

If I'm interpreting this whole discussion properly, it seems that the fact that "modern web development" is bloated as hell, means that the messy table-based layout on HN is a-okay, because you really can't expect people to learn from history more than a single step back, or something.

Yes indeed, the shit that web developers were trying to get rid of around 2005-ish, is actually better than we have today on many pages.

Who are all these programmers that like bloat so much??

Huawei chairman calls for European ecosystem competition with Google and Apple
I think this is a fair argument but not what the top comment was arguing.

He associates fasting, kale and "super nutrients" with this lifestyle transformation -- when it's just about reducing calories.

If his argument was, "It's hard to count calories, if you stick to this approach you'll automatically cut your take without having to journal every sip of OJ" -- then yes, I wholeheartedly agree.

There is some evidence that fasting can be good but people are so different it's hard to generalize-- others will over-eat in their feeding window. For some micro-meals throughout the day is a better technique to managing their hunger and keeps their metabolism up.

There's no one-size-fits-all technique. My main point is, when reading about "How I lost weight, it's so amazing" is caveat emptor.
Definitely. Coming home after traveling to the US for more than few days means constant hunger and snack cravings for a week or so.
The last few times I’ve been trying to limit the unnecessary sugars from sodas and other sugar rich food since you get so much more sugar than in Europe in the regular restaurant food.

The idea is that you can use it anywhere you need to make a decision about proportions. It's not complicated. Designers know that it's no use if you need a proportion close to 1:10 or 1:1, but there is often enough flexibility to use it (say when designing a window or a floor plan.)

That's the easy part of your regime. No meat, no dairy, no refined carbs is the hard part.

Actually no meat is easy, the other two are harder for me.
This binary "inequality is bad/good" is a straw man. In the 1960s when the average CEO made 20 times the average worker, that's still inequality, but when it grows to over 300x as it is today, it doesn't seem inconsistent to me to argue that is a problem.
Same with me. I do sometimes answer questions if they fit into a niche I have some particular knowledge about, but on the whole I've found it to be a mostly negative experience contributing on SO.

There's no need for a he said she said. Techcrunch got the report, in which the border guards focussed heavily on the image.

Techcrunch looked into the image:

>It was an image from 2009 of a child, who had been murdered and mutilated. Despite the graphic nature of the image, TechCrunch confirmed the photo was widely distributed on the internet and easily searchable using the name of the child’s murderer.

The border guards did not do any examination of the image, and appear clueless as to how Whatsapp works. Anyone who's used it knows that it autodownloada images by default.

Further, anyone familiar with whatsapp usage in south asia knows that viral whatsapp forwarding is common there.

Nothing there relies at all upon the story of the man turned away. It's all in the border report + techcrunch's search of the image.

This is relevant for travellers who use whatsapp. Any meme forwarded to you could be grounds for visa revocation, even by a loose connection.

Honourable mention is shrimp, which only has 1/4 the Omega of salmon, but is usually the easy option at BBQs (and avoids the annoying conversations about how not eating meat isn't manly).

I make sure I go for wild fish, and also buy it fresh (never in packaging unless I'm absolutely desperate).

Accountability is very relative in a time where the fabric of the real itself is beeingcalles into question by deep fakes and exteemely potent tools to synhesize images and voices.

We will have to find societal responses towards these technological shifts or they will find us. And it is already happening: young people comparing their mirror image to the digitally optimized selfies they see of influencers they like. And then they figure out how to fake it themselves, but their parent generation believes everything they see online: a gang of foreign dark skinned men tricking the state wellfare into giving them 8 grand a month each, while the local people have to fear about beeing thrown out of their houses? outrage!

No, online media is a double-tripple-edged sword and we need to find solutions to this that are not censorship or thought police. I’d opt for education, but I am afraid we’re a bit late to start that now.
> It's amazing to me how someone can (almost) exclusively eat vegetables and enjoy it.

I think this is a common misconception. Vegans don't eat only vegetables, they eat every type of food, except animal products. It's very likely that most of the dishes you enjoy have a vegan version that tastes great. If you live near a big city, try out some of the vegan restaurants to see what chefs are able to do nowadays.

Also, tastebuds change and you'll eventually get the same steak dopamine hit by eating something else. I, for instance, used to hate Indian food, and now Chana Masala is one of my favourite dishes.

> I cannot even fathom doing that FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE.

That's not a logical way to think about things. When I go out for a run, I don't think "I have to run every day for the rest of my life otherwise it's worth going". I don't think anyone would ever exercise if they followed that logic.
I think its fair to say that the results of this paper/study are entirely unsurprising.

Yes, there are differences in how different regex engines work - anyone that has ever used regular expressions in more than one programming language will already know it. Yes, this impacts what text matches and performance.

And yes, many programmers don't care or don't want to waste time on it (be it learning regex properly or thinking about a suitable expression for their requirements) and so just copy and paste expressions from elsewhere without caring too much about compatibility or performance. (Sometimes it is justified - "don't reinvent the wheel" and "premature optimization" and all that.)

I personally don't think we needed a paper or study to tell us this, but if it raises awareness, then I guess its a good thing :)
