Carnivore and keto diets are pretty much how much of the world ate until the 40s or so. Carnivore works for me, I did that for a few years some time back. I've been keto with a carnivore slant for four years. My blood work is similar to yours.

I don't care what anyone else eats, have at it. But if you pay attention to those A1C commercials that are all over the place, cut down on the sugar a bit, would you?

I really like C# and have done a bunch of work with it in the past! But I also love Python for reasons other than just static vs dynamic typing.

To be honest, I think a lot of Python [or arbitrary dynamic language] developers can be quite sloppy, throwing dictionaries around everywhere because it's easy and leading to some really hard to read code. Type hints guide people away from that sloppiness while still allowing access to most of the features that make dynamic languages so useful and expressive.

Ask HN: Anyone else is tired of all the corporate bs?
I'm working as a data analyst/scientist for two years and I'm already tired. In theory everything is amazing, the math, the algorithms, until u get a job. Useless and endless meetings, useless requests, arbitrary and weird decisions to make the boss and customers happy. We end working 40+ hours/week but the job could be easily done in 30 or less, that is another thing that kills me inside. We all could be living our lives in those hours that we pretend we're doing something. I know it sounds like I'm depressed and all that but I love life, my problem is with the state of things in the corporate environment, the faking and pretending that all is perfect in the way it is, and in the job but in the end everyone is unhappy and feeling like shit and waiting for friday. I just dont know what to do because it sounds to me that every company is the same. Does anyone else feels like that? What do you do to overcome this feeling?
> Monocropping is far worse for the environment

The "monocrops" in the United States are largely corn and soy, which are used as food additives, instead of being eaten as food, and as food for (you-guessed-it) animals we use as meat.

If you want to avoid monocropping, eat vegetables.
> it’s probably closer to historical diets of Hunter gatherers.

One thing I’ve noticed about hunter gatherer societies today, at least from various films and documentaries, is that they tend to be smaller both in height and mass than say, the westerners documenting them. That being said they seem to have significantly more stamina and incredible physical skill (watching a guy stand on the edge of a cliff and hurl sticks to knock flying bats out of the air was mindbending)

I would guess they eat a higher percentage of meat, but probably less in total.
>Even the CISSP is just a test of memorization - The ISC2 cert prep book is 10 miles long, but only about 5 feet deep (if that makes any sense).

Except passing the (broad, but shallow) test isn't the real reason why CISSP is a decent certification.

Passing the exam is just the first part. You then need to document at least five years of professional infosec experience[0] and have one or more current CISSP holders recommend you[1].

Experience and the approval of your peers are much better predictors of value/knowledge than a test.

That's not to say that every CISSP cert holder is a rock star, but it's a lot more than just passing a test.

This brings about an interesting question. If I've got $1000 in cash, that's valuable because I have it now and I can spend it now without many strings. When we talk about billionaires we look at the 21 billion musk has in Tesla and just extrapolate that $1000 in the pocket but to $21 billion in elons pocket. But in reality, he doesn't REALLY have 21 billion because he can't actually spend it all.

A clean metabolic panel is an important but insufficient signal of good health. Meat is jam packed with vitamins and nutrients, so it would be strange if he was severely lacking in any of the important categories.

The real question will be what will the results be when he gets a colonoscopy at 40. I have a family friend who has been a long term meat-only person, and he is 50 and has a very bad case of diverticulitis as well as gastric reflux. Maybe he would have gotten them regardless, or maybe if he tried eating a little fiber he could have avoided it. I personally would be taking something like psyllium husk if I was going on that kind of diet(which I did when I went keto, but I was just doing it for fun and not weight loss, so it was hard to stick with).
i would rather use a VM and not to deal with any of those issues.

Being in an already extremely unhealthy position is not the standard with which we should judge a particular diet.

Analogously, getting your stomach stapled would be bad for you if you had a health BMI but might be a good idea if you are 170lbs overweight.

Also, your basic premise that red meat is the only way to lose weight is false. There's no reason that an appropriate weight loss diet that excludes red meat could not be crafted.

No.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleistocene_human_diet

tldr: Homo habilis ate some meat, and Homo erectus was more of an omnivore, eating tougher-to-chew/digest foods...and even later, started to cook foods...both meat and plant-based.

The "paleo" diet is what happens when a bunch of jocks get high, watch the Flintstones and decide to base a diet off what they saw.

> My understanding is that this is not true, or at least extremely unlikely. The majority of hunter-gatherer societies seemed to have subsisted mostly on plants, with meat being a minority of their calories, possibly more of a special-occasion food.

As with every statement about hunter gatherers or hunter gardeners it varies. If you’re living in the far north like the Inuit, Eskimos or similar your diet is going to be almost all meat, maybe some berries for two months of the year. Neanderthals and anatomically modern humans living in the far North of Eurasia would have had more plants but not a lot more. Humans can live on diets of 80% plus gruel, on potatoes with some milk, rice and beans, on noting not meat (as long as you eat organs and fat).

Humans are really varied. We can’t eat pure vegan without deficiency diseases but there’s a lot of variety in human diet.

See this is precisely why I am bearish of Elon's companies, he's a savvy businessman, not a technologist, precisely why my opinion is that he is an idiot not a savant - PayPal is known for having been a flaming dumpster fire, it succeeded because of early market penetration (banks unable and unwilling to produce online payments systems in lieu of pushing credit cards). Ironically it is most useful now in traditional payment systems online, there are now reasonable more up to date payment systems available which largely supersede PayPal.

Again, Tesla is known for creating more hype fewer cars, expensive messes and underdelivering on promises - he has stimulated the market into considering alternative fuel sources, which is good but in a lot of ways showmanship not vision, more top down execution and spectacle than forethought or planning.

SpaceX is the most evident of these, Musk is busy taking tax dollars and building efficient rockets, which I guess is good but not about getting us to Mars.

So I think you are right to call out pandering for sales, it's what musk does best, not tech or vision.

Cunningly the bizarro world I live in is not the US. So I can only tell you what works here - without using tax subsidies.

So let me be clear, because I think you somewhat misread my point. I am in favor of competition, be that Muni or collectives or whatever. My point is that the factors that make it hard for an isp to enter a market should be "made easier" - and I don't think you need tax subsidies to do that.

Could a Muni provide capital to say lay fibre, absolutely. Could they effectively create an income stream from leasing that fibre to ISPs, absolutely. Perhaps in some rural areas they may even provide a subsidy to consumers (regardless of isp) because of cost /density reasons.

So let me tell you about the bizarro world I do live in. Over here, while there are still regulations, it is possible with relatively little hassle to lay fibre. Literally under the road. For years we've seen trenches being dug next to roads.

The folk who lay the fibre are not the isp. The isps run on top of the fibre, and compete. I have about 20 to choose from - it's easy for a company to enter the space, and it's easy for large incumbents to play as well.

The one I chose went bust, I switched in 30 minutes. (I was offline for about 24 hours before customers collectively realised they were gone.) The fibre provider confirmed they had been turned off for outstanding bills, and at that point I switched to another isp.

Separating the physical wire from the service over that wire is the best play. I don't need a choice of wire, but as it happens in some neighborhoods there are 2 cables laid, by different providers (to the same neighbourhood).

Could munis lay fibre, or WiFi, or whatever infrastructure they like? Sure. And clearly they can use tax money to do that. Just don't grant any monopolies over that wire, and you foster competition. You don't need ongoing taxes to be an isp, you just maintain the infrastructure just like a road or water or whatever.

Cows naturally eat grass, cows convert grass into protein and fat that humans can consume. Humans can’t consume grass directly.
Congratulations! The latest studies suggest that a plant based whole food diet is equally if not more effective at weight loss than a keto diet. The most important thing is paying attention to what you eat! In a head to head study between keto and plant based, participants in both categories lost weight. It seems that a controlled reasonably healthy diet is the key.

That said there are many anti-cancer fighting properties of a plant based diet. Consumption of meat and animal products seem to lead to higher cancer risks.

I’m currently losing weight on a whole food plant based diet combined with modest daily fasting (10 hours eating, 14 hours fasting per day).

> Carnivore and keto diets are pretty much how much of the world ate until the 40s or so.

This hasn’t been true since the dawn of agriculture. People mostly ate some kind of grain or tuber. Sometimes as gruel/meal, sometimes as bread, sometimes as mash but most people have been peasants since the dawn of farming and peasants eat carbs.
Interesting facts about the tool, we created the parser with speed and efficiency in mind, it is able to process ~5M queries in less than an hour, since many of the SQL statements are associated with scheduled pipelines, I came up with a way of normalizing them and generating a signature we use to skip them if they have not changed, that saved a lot of processing when parsing.

We also created some other datasets that tell you how the tables are normally joined and another team created a ML model that now we use in an internal tool that automatically recommends the best join keys when you join 2 or more tables (since we have lots of historical info on that already stored).

We also had to create a very efficient table profiler to evaluate the candidates, because in some cases there are columns that are widely used in equi-where conditions, but their cardinality is very high, making them bad partition columns.

One guy created a parser that actually gets the most common values used to filter each column, I guess we could use that in the future to materialize some views; my original vision of the project was to continue with partial aggregations for common computations. The thing is there are several pieces of code that are pretty much copy/pasted and reused in many pipelines, so why not materialize those and rewrite the SQL of the subsequent pipelines to leverage the materialized version? huge savings there.

We are planning to present it in VLDB or a similar forum, there are some aspects of it that we need to 'clean' if we want to open source it.

Other parts of the system include the candidate evaluation and the module that computes the expected savings for the best candidate selected during evaluation; this system in particular has a lot of specific Presto and Spark logic that might need to get more general if we want to open source it.

Thanks for writing! Really valuable rebuttal imo.

I’m not a statistician but I do have some basic training in psychometrics. It might be interesting/helpful to point out that your priors about self-assessment seem more reasonable generally but also put a lot of faith in the test’s validity as a measure of skill.

I’m relying on intuition here, but it seems a little problematic that the actual score and the predicted score are both bound to the same measurement scheme. Given that constraint on some level we’re not really talking about an external construct of skill, just test performance and whether people estimate it well. Which is different from estimating their skill well.

Maybe someone with more actual skill can elaborate or correct haha.

I adore Tcl, and always have. Funny that you mention Lisp, because I've always considered Tcl a kind of "close cousin" of Lisp; both in it's code structure and the ability to build new control structures and the like. It feels more Lisp-y to me than it does C-y.
No it's not the tooling, unless by tooling you mean mypy. The issue is that you can write code with type errors that mypy doesn't catch. In what I usually think of as static typing, that would be impossible: type errors are simply not allowed, even if that means the compiler rejects some otherwise-valid code.

I think mypy has to let some potential errors through because otherwise it would spew 1000's of spurious error messages on perfectly good, unannotated legacy code. Something similar happens with the Erlang dialyzer. The same thing applies to tools like Coverity, that aim to find potential bugs in legacy C code.

You could instead imagine a version of mypy that makes no concessions at all to legacy code, and insists that your code be 100% free of type errors, even if that means that some older constructs and styles no longer work. Would that be a good thing? Probably not: we have Haskell for that. Mypy's leaking errors is probably a practical necessity in retrospect. But, I wasn't expecting the leakage, so it surprised and disappointed me when I encountered it. I had thought I was getting something more like Haskell. Mypy still has attractions, but it's less great than I had hoped.
In the 90's Java did have technical merit because the Tcl of that era didn't have a bytecode interpreter. It wouldn't have been practical for the sort of low level embedded devices Sun was aiming to support with Java processors. The resources needed for dynamism is also a handicap for such platforms.

Security pro here. I came pretty close to falling for the “this is the power company and we are cutting off your power unless you pay the bill in the next 45 minutes” scam. It was late in the day during winter, so I knew if it got cut off, my small children were going to have a miserable night; and I was on a crowded bus and unable to get out my laptop to log into the website. I also knew my credit card had recently been rotated and that maybe I had forgotten to update it on the power company’s site. So I had a couple reasons to believe the situation could be real. The only thing that tipped me off was that they suggested the best way to pay quickly was to go buy iTunes gift cards and read them the numbers over the phone. If these boneheads had a way to take credit cards over the phone I might have been sunk.
