I wonder how they establish a control group. Most people regularly consume caffeine, so this is most likely measuring the effects of caffeine withdrawal, since the control isn't necessarily people who never consume caffeine. I guess you could test on Mormons for this.
Yeah and not everyone really wants to move to California either due to cost of living or other reasons. Always found it a shame tech is so centralized in a few cities. But it seems even places called the next Silicon Vally like Austin, all the tech people moving there has raised the cost of living too. So similar effect California is struggling with. Seems Dallas is more affordable but not sure if it will go up as tech comes there too and also sounds like you need a car too. I think I’d be cool if some warm paradise walkable, live somewhere close to the office and restaurants and shops. Seems less stressful and also probably be healthier if you are more active instead of driving everywhere.
It's the only thing that most SaaS things charge for now-a-days. Slack, Dropbox, Github Enterprise, etc. They know that regulated businesses have requirements to have SSO and things like this, so they can charge out the nose for it. You can go for a very long time with paying little to nothing for most of these services until you need SSO.

Just reading the abstract makes it pretty obvious.

> "A total of twenty-two healthy subjects (ten men and twelve women: age 23 (sem 1) years, BMI 22·1 (sem 0·5) kg/m2) received an isoenergetic high-protein (30/0/70 % of energy from protein/carbohydrate/fat) or normal-protein diet (12/55/33 % of energy from protein/carbohydrate/fat) for 1·5 d in a randomised cross-over design"

It wasn't the increase in protein that stimulated GNG. It was the reduction of carbs. Without sufficient dietary carbohydrate, the body must maintain minimum glucose levels via GNG.

So far he's probably out $100k+ in legal fees and looking to spend $100-200k more in the new personal lawsuit. The original note was for $250k. I don't think he's ever going to recover the full amount of money he's put into this (not to mention also his and everybody else's time as well as opportunity costs).

I haven't seen any discussion here of the actual virus risks in these large gatherings, so I thought I'd bring up the question. I admit I haven't read too much about this particular virus, but my belief is that the average demo day attendee is much more likely to die in a car accident on their way to the event, than from a virus caught at the event itself.

I'm personally doing plenty of traveling this month, taking advantage of discounted flights and hotels while lots of people rebook.

The Bristol postcode is the letters 'BS' followed by a one or two digit number, so it's not particularly good for finding a service provider in a large area.

UK postcodes are somewhat more useful when you want to narrow a search to a small area, especially for small towns and London districts where the number is a useful identifier and the area itself might have multiple or non-unique names
I've seen comparisons like that doing the rounds. They're just plain wrong. The 500 number is the number of patients that had been tested by the CDC about a week ago, excluding state and local labs, whereas the 100 confirmed cases is a newer figure and a lot of those cases were diagnosed by the very state and local lab tests that aren't being counted. From looking at an old version of the CDC web page, at the point when diagnosed cases hit 100 the CDC alone had tested about 1,500 patients. At one point the CDC pulled the number of tests from their web page to try and stop people making this error, but everyone just started comparing the old and increasingly outdated number from before they did this to the number of confirmed cases in the latest news headlines.

The stuff blaming it on Trump firing the part of the CDC that deals with pandemics is untrue too. (Though sadly, the testing might have rolled out more smoothly if he had culled the CDC a bit... their in-house facilities seem to have really screwed things up.)

The problem here is that guests are never told that 5 stars = normal stay. This leads to problems. If AirBnB was more up front about expectations it would make their review system a lot better.

They’re not entirely explicit about it, but to leave anything less than 5 stars AirBnB you have to leave a text explanation of why you did. So it becomes clear quickly that 5 is the norm and less is for an actual problem.

I don't understand this HN obsession with remote work. Productivity wise, sorry, we are social species. Labor rights wise, yes it's good to be away from the boss but you are also away from your coworkers.

Basically, rather than ending up with a utopic remote work coup d'etat into some sort of of distributed co-op, I imagine programming becoming yet another gig work job. And if tons of people do move to lower cost of living areas, well, wages will go down. (You need the majority/expectation of non-remote work to prevent that.)

If power is what you lack, household cost cutting in the form of remote work won't get you there. Put solidarity before your individualist paradise.
But what does that have to do with Huawei and 5G? The Equifax exfiltration exploited bugs in an internet-facing Java application. Likewise for previous incidents, such as the exfiltration of data from the Office of Personnel Management. In both those cases and others the U.S. government publicly fingered China. Publishing technical details wouldn't have created any additional political turmoil, and in fact some technical details were published.

The U.S. government could divulge credible information about a particular Huawei attack, especially if it were as pervasive as they seem to claim. I can think of many reasons why they wouldn't do this (e.g. exploits make more than just Huawei look bad, such as other American suppliers), but few that bolster their case against Huawei as a distinct threat to telecommunications security.

Rather, it seems their beef with Huawei is two-fold: 1) generalized national security interest in preventing China from dominating the telecommunications market (i.e. concern over relative tactical and strategic positions of China and U.S. SIGINT capabilities), and 2) protecting the profit margins of Qualcomm and other American suppliers.

If you stopped using facebook it would have an effect, but I don't think deleting your profile does. Your still tagged as the same user, every fb pixel still sends data back about you, and all your transaction are still linked to you.

I cannot possibly believe that deleting your fb account removes all the info about you in their identity graph. It would just convert your active profile to a shadow one.

Tangential: I know Sam Altman has expressed interest in the real life phenomenon. Recently I was thinking it had to do with human perception. Video is a substitute for authentic cues of reality.

A solution that would be up your alley for experimentation is getting curved LCD display and putting it on a humanoid^.

I think getting some sample audiences would allow for iteration to a decent remote solution. It may be awkward at first, so bringing back cohorts may help them adapt to the robot.

^I think it would have to be more nuanced, but it is a start to engaging with real depth perception.
I am really trying to use DDG more but I dunno, it's not very good in my experience.

* Sometimes non-personalized results help me find something outside my bubble

> A case fatality rate (CFR) is calculated based on confirmed cases.

This is not true[1]. CDC projects the numbers and estimates total number of cases, because almost all of the actual cases are undiagnosed. So no, COVID-19 is not "more-or-less 10x deadlier" than the common Flu.

Let's be clear. The media frenzy around COVID-19 is not grounded in science, and it purely designed to get panic people, resulting in clicks and eye-balls. Nothing more.

I switched for a month and went back to Google.

DDG is about 95% there for me, but that missing 5% is the crucial on point results for technical questions I rely on.

In these cases DDG point me at useful stuff, but not as useful as Google, and that edge costs time spent traversing and sorting information.

I’m happy there is a good competition here and I’ll try again, but for now I’m happy with Google results even with the ads.

>Yes, athletes do suffer an adaptation

You admit and acknowledge an "adaptation" in this comment, but in another reply to me where I talk out the keto adaptation, you replied:

>everything you're saying is a complete myth. Define what it means for the cells to adapt for "running on ketones".
There's no such thing.

As previously provided:

A ketogenic diet (KD) involves using fat, a high-density substrate, as the main source in daily calorie intake while restricting carbohydrate intake [21,22]. In this way, the liver is forced to produce and release ketone bodies into the circulation [23,24,25,26]. This phenomenon is called nutritional ketosis [27,28,29]. Over time, the body will acclimate to using ketone bodies as a primary fuel, which is called keto-adaptation, an element of fat-adaptation [30,31,32]. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6410243/

>Several days of dietary carbohydrate restriction to levels < 40–50 g/day, with moderate protein, results in increased circulating beta-hydroxybutyrate (BOHB) by an order of magnitude. When maintained for several consecutive weeks, the metabolic state of ‘nutritional ketosis’ awakens a dormant set of genes and metabolic programs that counteract insulin resistance and manifest in several positive health outcomes. This process, referred to as ‘keto-adaptation’, is characterized by accelerated rates of whole body fatty acid oxidation, while glycolysis, insulin concentrations, insulin receptor activation and signaling, constitutive inflammation and oxidative stress are all decreased. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S24682....

>Here's a list of studies on this subject — all of them showing a dicrease in performance:

I think most agree for high level athletes in anaerobic sports ketosis isn't going to be the best diet for athletic performance, but these studies don't really support what you claim

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2279002/

>In conclusion, in this study we have demonstrated that VLDL-TG made a significant contribution to fuel utilization during exercise after adaptation to a fat-rich diet. The increased total fat oxidation observed after fat diet adaptation originated from both a higher plasma FA oxidation and utilization of VLDL-TG, and thus circulating VLDL-TG should be included among the lipid fuels that may be utilized during exercise.

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/14967870

>Adaptation to a 6-week HFMP diet in non-highly trained men resulted in increased fat oxidation during exercise and small decrements in peak power output and endurance performance.

- https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4113752/

This is the most supportive of your position, but it still acknowledges the benefits of ketosis

>It can be concluded that long-term, high fat diets may be favorable for aerobic endurance athletes, during the preparatory season, when a high volume and low to moderate intensity of training loads predominate in the training process. High volume training on a ketogenic diet increases fat metabolism during exercise, reduces body mass and fat content and decreases post exercise muscle damage.
Once you have a large enough userbase the thumbs up / thumbs down method might be the best option. My favorite example of numbered rating systems failing is metacritic where almost every user score is either a 10 or a 0. They have a weird dynamic where users will give a 10 to counteract a low score or a 0 to counteract an inflated score. Giving a 0 or a 10 makes your vote more impactful so why would you score any different?

At the end of the day most people just want to know if people think a service, movie, driver, seller, etc. is worth it or not * . If you need more info you are going to read the reviews anyway.

* An exception might be niche user review communities like myanimelist or rateyourmusic
I don't own a business, but I have encountered these behaviours at a smaller scale.

Now I think about this situation as a variation of the prisoners dilemma. If both parties play nice, each one gets a smaller payoff. If one is an asshole and the other is nice, the asshole gets a bigger payoff (by shafting the nice party). This article proposes that being nice is beneficial for all parties in the long term. That holds true also in the prisoners dilemma, if the game repeats over time.

Now, why do people still act that way? One option, as this article presumes, is that people are simply not aware that is the best option in the long term.

The second, most insidious option, is that they are aware, and do it in purpose. Maybe the world is still big enough that you can play a first game with different people until your fame catches up. Maybe the payoff for being an asshole is so high that a single win is enough to retire.
