Sure there's other ways. Calories are what control your weight gain or weight loss, so eat anything while counting the calories and making sure they're low enough and you will naturally lose weight. But then you'll be a skinny, slightly flabby guy with no muscle tone, and still not happy with your body.

Vegetarians don't have it easy when it comes to losing weight, since some of the most common vegetarian foods can be high in natural sugars and carbs and low in fats and protein. But you certainly can lose weight this way. I usually have a mix of fruits, vegetables, starches, fats and proteins in the meals I cook for myself, or if i'm lazy go for a reduced-fat peanut butter & jelly sandwich on wheat (substitute banana for jelly for a healthier alternative).

It's getting trite at this point but you really should include a steadily-increasing weight lifting regimen to shed fat and gain lean muscle, in combination with the healthy eating. It doesn't even have to be as expensive or hard as the OP describes. My gym has a set of machines that target specific muscle groups, and a numbering system that lets you go down the line using each one in sequence. They also have small instructions for the number of reps and how to change up each rep. This is not the same thing as "lifting" weights, but combined with some actual lifts like the deadlift and squats, can be very effective at growing specific muscle. Which will help you lose fat quicker :)

Digital Economy Act's anti-piracy measures are delayed
* The heavy regulation is just providing a minimum base for that competition.*

In the case of the medical system this is actually explicitly not how the system was designed. There was a theory going around about when Nixon was president that the reason the Soviet system was superior[1] was that they were able to prevent "wasteful competition", so the right thing for the US to do to keep medical costs down was to prevent competition in medicine. So we got a lot of laws that, for example, required anyone proposing to build a new hospital to get the permission of all the existing hospitals they might be competing with.

[1] People believed this at the time because the economic statistics published by the USSR said that the USSR was really awesome, and because the idea that central planning works is pretty intuitive.
Three Reasons Japan’s Economic Pain Is Getting Worse
It seems to me that Nintendo was somewhat blindsided by the rapid consumer adoption of HD televisions. They've really dropped precipitously in price over the last few years, and as a consequence the Wii has aged very rapidly, perhaps more rapidly than expected. I for one would probably be in the market for a Nintendo system but the chance of my buying a non-HD console in 2012 is approximately zero.

I'm sure they are rushing to get the new system ready and when they do it'll be back onto the gravy train for Nintendo.

Thanks....I may try an AMD. I don't need 3D support either, but I do need compositing support (does no 3D mean no compositing? Not sure...).

Not having compositing on the linux desktop these days means you're a second class season. Both Unity and Gnome3 require it to function...if you don't have it, you have to fall back to Unity2D (incomplete user experience) or Gnome 2 (no longer supported. KDE actually does the best of the bunch when it comes to Xinerama so far, but I really prefer Unity or Gnome3.

I've read that if you buy two similar Nvidia cards (same GPUs), you can get compositing across three monitors, but I've not spoken with anyone who can verify. If anyone reading this can, please provide your vid card model.

Do you know if this Radeon HD 6450 will support compositing across three monitors? $60 is cheap to me to get this.

Thanks!

Google then proceeds to say the exact opposite in the next paragraph: http://i.imgur.com/dqGgk.png

Quote:

Ignoring the fact that paragraph 1 and 2 directly contradict each other, I supposed what they want to say is:

1. By default all your data belongs to us.

2. We generously narrow the scope in the TOS for some of our services.

Personally I find this inacceptable.

The default should be keep their hands off my data. If individual services need more rights then that should be in the TOS of the respective services.

Support as in "can process ipv6 traffic?" Or support as it "can process a volume of ipv6 traffic with performance and practical feature characteristics on par with its handling of ipv4 traffic?"

If you mean the former then sure, but that's not the point. The latter is what hampers adoption and I assure you, most hardware produced in the last 10 years does not support ipv6 to the degree that it does ipv4.

Good point, however it is, I think, still unclear wether a patient would benefit from less or more regulation. It, again, looks like a more general discussion of left vs right. While people tend to take sides, we still have about equal numbers of economists in favor of either free market or regulations.

One might argue, that competition is in the best interest of the patient. And that what is currently regulated, should rather be advised. This looks reasonable, however I wouldn't advocate it until this is actually tested.

I once saw a TED-talk by an economist who said that it is trial and error that politicians should advocate, not particular strategies that they "know" are the right ones. That is, I believe, an ultimate solution to many problems, including the medical market.

True. He does have about a lot more data over a 40x longer time interval, so the noise smoothes itself out more.

Unless you also mean I should have formatted the matplotlib graph better? Mathematica actually has quite nice plotting in general. I also wanted to use d3.js but that sort of defeats the purpose of personal data.
I'd love the opportunity to invest pro rata with angel groups, TechStars, Y Combinator, and many VCs. The "gimmick" factor would depend largely on the structure and presentation of the opportunity.

As it stands, it's exceptionally hard to buy the startup market. The closest thing we have to an Index fund is Ron Conway, and he's not selling shares of himself. This is a huge missed opportunity.

HNWIs and institutions have varied and limited access to deals, and are constrained in the number of investments they can make. This exacerbates the problem that early-stage angel investing has sickening variance unless you're able to build a sizable portfolio.

The general public can't get in on these deals at all.

Because of this, I'd love to see top investors accept, as a limited partner, a crowd-sourced, retail-accessible "Fund of Funds" that operated on something akin to the Vanguard business model, charging a fairly minimal fee to buy the startup market. If that existed, I'd joyfully invest in it.

edit: this would also provide an interesting benefit the startups, particularly if they're consumer-facing, as it would dramatically increase the number of people who have a reason to care about them, their product and their continued success.

This article says nothing. I get what you're trying to say here, but this is premature:

"Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram is doing the same exact thing for the next generation of entrepreneurs."

Oh yeah? The "next generation of entrepreneurs"? Who are they? Where did you hear about them?

"Now, entrepreneurs see a startup that was novel and completely pre-revenue, and see the opportunity that they too can have a billion dollar exit in less than two years."

They do? Poor guys. Did you personally speak to any of these "entrepreneurs"? Did you read about them somewhere? Or are you just pulling this mystery group and their M.O. out of nowhere?

I don't see it. In fact, more than a mass exodus of a generation of blind hopefuls you're referring to, I've seen a mass bandwagon effect of blog posts and articles milking Instagram for every angle and non-angle (case in point...) possible.

This post didn't present any new ideas or facts. Just a half-thought out ramble on a dead horse, and the word "Instagram" in the title.

Wow! Great feedback! Thank you!

Now for the answers:

1. my bad. I was doing some optimizations on the web server (via http://gtmetrix.com ). Now it should work

2. true! received same feedback yesterday. will change.

3. just thought it would look better. but that doesn't mean better experience. will change them (for bigger images just click them)

4. originally KeenSkim was built for RSS feeds. After starting the alpha testing we pivoted to the webpage bookmarklet. It works so well that we didn't improve the RSS part. To be fixed in the next weeks (opml support)

5. Not yet but great idea! we'll do that

7. It's not social (not built with this intention in mind, but could be). Social auth and simpler login are in the top 3 priorities after stabilizing the summarization algorithm

8. will look on that

9. the cookies are for the site, not the bookmarklet (cross-domain calls). It's mainly for login (standard Django). Does it bother you in any specific way?

10. mainly a freemium approach. the exact business model is not clear (we'll test it after we get an idea about usage, costs, growth, ...). Do you have anything in mind?

About the results: there are pages on which it work good, on some pages great and on some really bad. The problem on this article is that it has several story-lines and KeenSkim doesn't work well on that (interviews, lists, tutorials won't be properly summarized)

EDIT: There is still space for improving the service. That's priority no. 1

Where there other news that you read?

Thanks again!
Generally I agree, but the topics of his books (SPDY, Dart, and backbone ) are all extremely new technologies. Like they have all been released only in the past year. Very few people have a ton of real world experience with these.

So I think the book reader probably will know that the author doesn't have years of battle tested experience but understand that the book is meant to be a good way for a beginner to get up to speed and get going with the topic.
Sure, it's a provocative title, but the post is clearly not about comparing languages as languages - he's using programming languages as a grouping variable for people and their websites. It's a terrible post if you're trying to learn something about the two languages, but a great post if you're interested in seeing examples of how design aesthetics might correlate with chosen programming language communities.

To all the people criticizing the post, please realize this has little to do with computer science and is almost entirely sociology. It's not a particularly rigorous "study", but it's not really trying to be be.

It would be much more interesting to see the numbers as a percentage of total "How" and "Why" submissions that made it to the front page.

Another method to "tricking yourself into being awesome" (also called learning) is to jump right in and start working on a project. Like the author, you'll come up with loads of questions that need answering, and if your project is going to be successful, those questions must be answered. Otherwise your project/startup will die.

That's closer to my approach. I thrive when given a never-ending stream of unique problems to solve, as I work through a project. But sitting down and going through some structured course or book or whatever can quickly become very boring to me. I like to just jump in with both feet and sink or swim.

That said, both approaches have value and I think it's more of a continuum than a binary dichotomy.

Are you seriously arguing the analogy?

As long as they are producing testable hypotheses and gathering new data to (in)validate their predictions, they are doing science. And if their theories make accurate predictions, it literally does not matter if those theories came from computer modelling, mathematical proofs, inspiration or divination.

If we could make accurate predictions about the function of the universe by casting chicken bones, that would be science. Even though we wouldn't have the first clue what mechanisms might make it so.

There's no shortage of such situations in science, where theories produce useful results despite no understanding of the underlying, clearly complex systems that drive them. e.g. The Placebo Effect, Gravity, etc.

You seem to be arguing that every time science approaches a complex situation, which it doesn't understand and can't explain from first principles, that we cannot apply the Scientific Method. And that is patently false. That is exactly how we have come as far as we have. By creating falsifiable hypotheses, testing their predictions and refining those hypotheses.

Your hand-waving doubts and fears about complexity and methods is fundamentally anti-science. You are not only a 'climate skeptic', you are apparently skeptical of man's ability to use science to investigate and understand the universe at all.

Sorry, I thought everyone knew this, I didn't pay attention to the connotation of "cancelled", since it was still cancelled. (Like, if a band's show is cancelled, it's often because of them). What I was getting at is that Seinfeld had a phenominally long TV-show run, which is extremely demanding of anyone, let alone its eponymous main character. He did not then do another long-running TV show, which would have simply been this unthinkable commitment. (This is how I'm interpreting it).

I'm not saying one causes the other, but Seinfeld was very good with his system, it led to a very, very long-running TV series, and he didn't follow it up with another series.

How or whether this has any effect on any projects you might do you have to decide for yourself.
