I found something similar too -- and I'm nowhere even near that thin.

I successfully lost 50 lbs a few years ago doing keto and brought myself to exactly the middle of normal BMI.

While I was losing the weight, keto was easy -- I always had energy (more than ever before), felt great, wasn't getting sick.

But once I hit my target weight... all of a sudden keto became miserable. I had brain fog all the time, except for about the window of 2-4 hrs after each meal when my digestion seemed to peak. I started getting colds all the time.

Once I switched back to eating carbs, I felt great.

My theory is that your body burns fat proportionally to the amount of fat you have... and that it's fine to fuel yourself until you just don't have enough fat anymore to keep it going to even things out between meals.

I was pretty bummed actually to discover that keto doesn't work for me anymore, when I'm already at a healthy weight. I just loved the constant energy. But for however my body's built, it's just not an option for me anymore.

At first I thought you were talking about Yarvin himself. It's a bad sign when someone left a project due to their virulent racism and you have to be like "wait, which one of the two people related to this story who did that are we talking about?".

I'm sharing my personal experience. Authenticity doesn't come from any motivation. It is not transactional. It is more about being vulnerable, and less about being right.

> creating a new image from clipboard with the canvas at the right dimensions

Creating an image from clipboard: Ctrl+V. Makes an image the size of the image on the clipboard. Cut to taste.

If you want to paste the image on a larger canvas, Ctrl+N, select the canvas size, fill it with color or leave transparent, Ctrl+V to paste from clipboard, move the pasted layer around.

I don't see how that would be more efficient in PS.

In spite of jamming as much junk food down my throat as I possibly could, I struggled to maintain weight on the Appalachian trail. You can definitely outrun a bad diet. (Not that it's a healthy way to live either.)
If you believe yourself to be an ethical person then you want to build companies like those yourself rather than stop, since you can be sure that you'll do your best to handle data properly while providing the world with that service. In the case of the Big 5 there are not many companies I know of that are providing the service as proposed in the article so you would have a chance to set standards and expectations around what is or isn't acceptable.
That might actually be more concerning, it suggests that much of the industry doesn't give the topic much thought.

I'm still interested in more feedback on Oil (e.g. does it still work on the latest version of shell-script-library? :) )

Politicians simply can't reflect the will of the voters, because voters aren't a homogenous blob. Here, they represent the wishes of a very slim majority, and go against the will of the greater majority quite frequently, since this is a representative democracy, not a direct one.

What we should think about is whether it's a legitimate use of power to limit what an entire city can do with its property. The nice, dense areas of the world didn't start out that way, they grew over time as new replaced old. We've stopped that cycle here, and the politicians are trying to freeze things as they are. We do indeed have a lot of home owners resistant to all change, but those aren't the majority. I'm a grey haired home owner here, and I go to council meetings to support increased density, increased property rights, etc.

> What next? A publicly available ML web crawler that analyzes speech and belief patterns, triangulates them with metadata, and returns someone’s identity with 99% confidence?

Close but no cigar.

But seriously, correct me If I am wrong but if I were to propose a solution to defeat this `ML web crawler' confidence in it's results, then the first thing I would do is to feed the internet with invalid data. How does ML-based analyzers deal with this kind of data set?
When you say not much it's hard to agree or disagree, who knows what much is.

Numbers can be added, about 80% is common for cruise altitude.

The performance equations are not linear. One example another pointed out is that thrust goes up as you go faster, you point out that thrust goes down as density gets lower, it's both.

There tend to be max/min points where the influence from one effect is overtaken by another.
You're arguing against evolution. Not only are we deeply wired to function for long periods of time without food, but when you haven't eaten in a while your mind becomes focused and alert since your body thinks it needs to find or hunt food.

Chip and PIN is technically possible in the US, however the issuers have generally decided not to support it. Apparently they think that customers will forget their PINs, and so they would rather just deal with the fraud.
I am currently not using it, but it appears my local cable company offers a purported "940+ Mbps" for $110/month.

But I couldn't care less - what I want is something as cheap as possible, irrespective of speed.

They seem to have an option right now for 30 Mbps for $15, but I'm assuming there's some catch. I did think the low cost option was only available for people on public assistance or something.

I used to have a cable connection, and it seemed slightly faster than cellular, but it didn't really make a difference to me, and since I can't do without the cellular, it made more sense to get unlimited data for that, than paying more for limited data and cable service.

More bandwidth only encourages websites to add more advertising, anyway.

It's not much different in the "West". We already plant crops for yield, and in winter, we eat crops grown for yield and shipability. Out-of-season crops will cost substantially more than what cost in-season.

Oil has made a lot of progress in the last 3 years, with a few releases every month.

http://www.oilshell.org/releases.html

The goal of the project is to replace bash!

If you know shell and Python (or C++), I maintain a "help wanted" bug label:

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aope...

It's almost there, except for speed, but it needs more testing from users. The "should-run-this" label has some ideas:

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aope...

There a lot of project updates on https://oilshell.zulipchat.com/ too (requires login)
I'll admit, it did appeal to me in that way. But the other part of me just felt like it was snake oil. Being intentionally vague in order to not reveal some crucial flaw.

I've learned a bit more about it from these comments and I don't think it's snake oil, but it is 100% not what I was expecting from the language used in the copy.

So yeah, seems like a good project that foregoes familiarity in order to create something cool albeit niche. But anyone who isn't on board with the vague descriptions will definitely feel mislead.

Commodore had the advantage in the price wars but don't forget the Atari 8 bit home computers. They got into a long battle with Commodore. Then Jack sold his Commodore stock to buy Atari and make the Atari ST while Commodore bought Amiga to make the Commodore Amiga 1000 then the 16 bit wars happened.

I have seen plenty of people that work on existing products like Chrome, Gmail, etc. get promoted. I also have witnessed people successfully going from L4->L5 as SWEs without launches.

I do work for Tlon, if that wasn't obvious. I also find the "computer" terminology misleading, so I'm with you on that.

Why would you want to use Urbit? The same reasons you want to use the modern consumer internet, which Urbit intends to pave over and replace with something better.

How is Urbit better? Because you'll have all your data and programs on one machine, which you control, using an open source operating system. You can build a peer-to-peer twitter or facebook clone on Urbit in a day or two, because the OS handles more of the distributed systems and identity problems that have killed most peer-to-peer projects in the past.

It's still in alpha, so it's a bit slow and buggy, and a lot more work has been put into kernelspace than userspace so far. What will make you way "wow this is cool" varies widely, but some good candidates are:
- an internet experience not predicated on surveillance capitalism
- no ads
- control over your UI
- a minimal aesthetic
- interesting people to talk to on the network
- lack of the twitter "thunderdome" feel
- if you like to write programs, the Urbit system is fascinating to work with; I've learned a lot more CS from working on it

The other thing that's cool is that this new world isn't yet fully settled. You can write a little talkbot or something and still have a big effect on the culture.
It’s a personal server OS. MS-DOS was emulated on mainframes before it was run directly on hardware. Urbit wants to do the same, starting by being emulated on traditional computer OSes, and eventually moving to bare metal.
No it doesn't.

First off, people with hyperthyroidism generally have increased appetite because of an accelerated metabolism, not reduced appetite. So half his symptoms already don't match.

Secondly, don't try to diagnose people over the internet based on half a symptom and today's weather. Suggest them to see a doctor and leave it at that.

Just because you happened recently read of one random disease out of millions doesn't mean everyone has that now. You'll cause more harm than anything.
But once you automate the backchannnel, it becomes impersonal. If someone is vindictive they can ruin careers through such a system. If you dont actually know a person, how can you trust their recommendation?
I have seen several instances of CVE-2017-11882 malware attachments.

I'm mostly commenting here to be able to find this guy again later.

But now that I have listened to him he is 100% spot on about most things.

The only problems this guys has are:

1) He's biased for nuclear because it feeds him. Nuclear cannot be built without hydrocarbons and toxic nuclear waste is not something you can dig down into the ground without hydrocarbons, even if the radiation is only hazardous for 1000 years, we're not going to have enough energy to handle the waste.

2) He does not understand money enough yet. Fiat money cannot have value without hydrocarbons. GDP is 99% debt because today money is 99% debt and therefore neither has value. Money is something humans have arbitrarily invented without being inspired by nature, it does not exist!

3) He does not understand that some things run and use energy whether you use them or not. For example the routers on the internet because processors are synchronous. The solution is async. processors, but our economic system doesn't encourage energy saving research, at least before it's too late, which is now.

That said, if the energy density of uranium is 1000000x that of oil, which in it's turn is 1000x more than batteries; this guy for president?

"I became increasingly unhappy that Clark was writing for the blog in 2015. That unhappiness was a result of a number of factors, including the content he wrote here, which I felt reflected badly on the blog and on me, both in terms of quality and content. I was concerned, for instance, that if my clients encountered the blog they would question whether I was hostile to them based upon their ethnicity or religion. I became embarrassed he was a co-blogger."

Not everyone can. Genetic factors and how your body handles insulin determine almost everything about how your body will gain or lose weight and in what conditions.

Gary Taubes book “Why we get fat,” is a great read on this subject.
Chip-and-PIN (EMV) requires the card to be inserted into the payment terminal. The PIN can be verified online or offline (using the cryptographic hardware on the card). On a recent trip to the US, most places I saw had the requisite hardware, but they almost always still swiped my card.

A lot of low value transactions are now done by Contactless in Europe (adoption varies by country). Typically there is a limit per transaction (€30 in my country) and per day. Above this amount you will be prompted to enter the PIN (without inserting the card). Most banks also require you to enter the PIN every X transactions. As I understand it, almost all new terminals support Contactless, it's just a question of whether that merchant and their issuing bank have it enabled. The same hardware can be used for Apple/Google/Samsung pay as well.
The CoC is for contributing and working on the project not for using the tool. And having made this they probably don't think batch searching for public profiles is bad or doxxing.
Is this a hit comment? The piece is certainly critical. It's certainly from 2017. Why makes you think it's incorrect?
Revving the engine? Sounds 6E.
It's because it's a system trying to pitch itself as a product. The system being a top to bottom rewrite of the stack in such a way so as to sidestep the client/server relationship entirely. A lot of services rely upon positioning themselves as the server, as the big computer you have timeshared access to, and they monetise your usage. For things like photo storage, or basic communication, or permissioned access to your files, this is pointless. Any computer could do it, but the internet is itself based upon asking a server for something and getting it. And running a server sucks.

Any other peer to peer solution is partial, and therefore not able to compete with the internet as is. Urbit basically plans around an identity system that prevents spam and abuse; a hierarchical packet routing structure for those identities that doubles as a de facto governance model (due to having a vested interest in the network, the higher up you go); a kernel designed to freeze, and its entire OS on top a series of event logs that mark down computations and new states; a functional language for this "internet where every computer is a database", and the encrypted networking protocol that uses UDP while still ensuring packets always find you.

So if you wanted to, say, have a group of people set as a peer list that others can subscribe to or join, or build or use applications that lets that peer list join chats or see a set of files based upon some arbitrary marker (like giving you $5/mo?) ... you don't need a million services to spread the load, one task per service, each person joining each service. You can just use your own computer. It's a personal server platform for a peer to peer internet. It's an internet designed to resist bad actors, and to resist AOL, to resist Facebook and Google — an internet that facilitates and preserves a Usenet-esque model of small communities doing stuff together on their computers.

It took me a good year of giving twitter a second chance for it to begin to be useful to me. I started by following all of my podcast and youtube follows.

bcachefs looks pretty cool but who knows how long it will take to get upstream.
Lets say it costs $3 to acquire a customer on average. And your margin is $30. That sounds good.

Now do an experiment. Stop your ads.

Do your sales go down 100%? In that cost the $3 cost was definitely justified.

Do your sales go down 50%? That means you actually paid $6 to acquire a customer, not $3. Still sounds like a reasonable deal since you still make $24 profit, but other channels might be more profitable.

Do your sales go down 10%? Then only one in 10 customers actually converted because of the ad, and you are paying $30 to acquire a customer and it would be better to stop the campaign. Google is just showing ads to people that would buy your stuff anyway. (Side note: I think this is a big problem with retargeting. You are paying to show ads to people that are already very likely to buy your stuff -- or even worse, who have bought it already. But conversion rates are really high!)

(To be fair, this is speculation and not based on experience with adwords. My only experience with adwords was a $100 campaign I made a few years back with promotional credit that resulted in no conversions)

I've always been amazed that very few organizations question why Google Analytics is free. Sites are literally handing Google a list of targeted visitors their competitors can advertise to.
At a colo or location of you own you might hire two upstreams like CenturyLink and GTT, and since your (purchased) addresses would be reachable via either you would need to announce via BGP which requires an ASN. At AWS the only provider is AWS and are typically single addresses (even if you special requested 256 you might not receive a /24), further I don't know that AWS will issue an LOA to allow to you to announce their space via other providers.

An HE IPv6 tunnel is as permanent as you like, but they reserve the right to phase out the terminal you are using which sometimes means your prefix would change, and they expire unused tunnels periodically. IPv6 has builtin handling of prefix changes though it does not deal with related DNS updates, which you'd have to arrange.

An HE IPv6 assignment is from their allocation so you'd call that PA not PI, i.e., you can't take them elsewhere. To get addresses of your own you would need to apply to an LIR or RIR for an allocation -- generally easy to get a /48 without any/much documentation with a /40 generally requiring documentation but that's not free (250/yr for an ARIN allocation).
