You "hope he dies lonely" because in a comment thread about a joking reference to boobs in hex constants, he wrote that "men are not the only gender who appreciate breasts"?

I hope you understand that your comment shows a disturbed personality and/or horrible person.

Now, it could just be that you didn't have your morning coffee yet.

But in any case, the hate you spread with that comment is far worse than any (probably immature) reference to boobs or dicks or whatever.
I'm just chaining in case that doesn't work for some reason

Just generally, and very simplistically.... buy this or we scare away your customers.

Errr, um, sort of.....well.... Mafia protection racket, yes?

Put it this way. What is the first thing that springs to mind when some one is scaring off your customers demanding, sorry, politely implying a payment to stop?

Yes, yes, yes, I know. Security, user safety, lots of lovely logical arguments for it, Im sure there are plenty. But strip it back to basics and, well, there it is. I presume since MS is a big huge "evil" business which probably funds some political rodent its all cosy and legal.

Its more complicated, right?
SpaceX is an excellent example of outsourcing working well.

But G4S had the incentive of a £300 million contract, and their CEO gets £830K/year, and they still couldn't get it right.

by "low carb diet" I am specifically referring to carb-restriction type diets like atkins that advocate eating an extraordinarily low amount of carbohydrates.

carbohydrates are an important macronutrient. the problem is not with carbs, but with bad carbs.

go visit some third world countries where they eat primarily carbs and find me the obese people. (hint: you won't find any)
Sorry, suggesting that credit card fraud isn't a real threat to people is just completely out of touch.

From the first hit for 'credit card fraud' on google (the wikipedia page):

'The cost of card fraud in 2006 were 7 cents per 100 dollars worth of transactions (7 basis points).[2] Due to the high volume of transactions this translates to billions of dollars. In 2006, fraud in the United Kingdom alone was estimated at £535 million,[3] or US$750–830 million at prevailing 2006 exchange rates.[4]'

You can say what you like (the page does note that the incidence of fraud as compared to other types of fraud has gone down), but credit card fraud is extremely destructive and is here to stay for quite a while. Dealing with it is not cheap, or easy, or fast.

Credit card fraud is also an enormous threat to merchants due to the fact that chargebacks result in large fees and, eventually, merchant account termination. Merchants have to compensate by being extremely zealous about fraud and actively filtering out customers (legitimate or not) based on heuristics and data to try and avoid processing fraudulent payments - so for the 1% of your payments that are fraudulent, you probably have to throw out 2-5% of them, just to avoid processing the bad ones.

>Big boobs are universal.

Not only that, but the whole fucking reason of progress, for example, is not to be so fucking sensitive about commonplace things.

WTF, people, have we merely exchanged the prudish, religious police with the politically correct police?

Yes, America was built by puritans and religious nuts sent away from Europe (literally, in the beginning), but can we fucking move along?

The rest of the world could care less about such moral outrage over a hex joke.

I am referring to extreme diets like atkins. My contention is that most "fad diets" aren't tailored to anyone's metabolism. What they're tailored to is profit.

Each of us needs to figure out a healthy ratio of carb/protein/fat.
No it is not perfectly justified to break the speed limit if you are going to visit a dying relative. That's ridiculous. Think about it. If I was going to visit a dying relative (who you have never met) would you be happy for me to drive at 100mph along the street where you live?
OK, that's more understandable, since I guess that glue has to be pretty solid and has to cover the entire surface. And that's also bad from a servicability perspective (have to buy the entire display assembly).
This particular article doesn't try to tell you "X good, Y bad", it's saying eat less, exercise more, or more specifically, if you want weight loss, as long as your diet leads to a caloric deficit, it doesn't matter _what_ you eat.

Because Wikipedia aspires not to have such biases. If Wikipedia was linuxdistropedia then no-one would think it was odd that it was focused on obscure distros and didn't care for articles about embroidery or the history of Islamic jurisprudence. But it aspires to be a universal encyclopaedia.

Sometimes outsourcing works, sometimes it doesn't. Highlighting a few examples in which it has failed does not lead to the conclusion that it never works.

So the author seeks to bridge the gap by identifying a fundamental flaw in the concept of outsourcing, in this case by noting the divergence of objectives between the two parties. Although true, this isn't the fundamental flaw the author is looking for. It simply identifies the importance, for outsourcers, of making their suppliers' objectives coincide with their own.

I wouldn't say the G4S case is one in which the government has failed in making objectives coincide. G4S will, in all probability, be found in breach of contract for failure to fulfil their obligations, and the government have already stated they will be seeking to recover costs from G4S, such that there will be no additional cost to the taxpayer for this debacle.
Cheap is not "dead cheap".
My great-grandfather ate white bread regularly from before 1910 and stayed thin all the way into his 90's. He spent his last ten years or so living with my family starting about when I was in middle school, so I remember it well. AFIK, he'd been eating the same kinds of stuff for 50 years -- cornflakes and whole milk for breakfast, sandwiches for lunch and meat and potatoes with a few veggies for dinner.

Especially when looking at my own ancestors (all of whom were thinner than me 3 generations back), I tend to discount any sort of "oh they were just genetic freaks" kinds of arguments. None of them really dieted or deprived themselves, but they were used to pretty bland monotonous diets. I clearly remember ordering pizza in high school and they tried eating it with forks and knives and said they weren't big on "Italian food". The truth is it's the more recent generations who are the freaks. We're used to access to pretty much any kind of tasty, convenient food whenever we want it.
Nokia's Downward Spiral
The problem isn't with carbs, protein, fat or subcategories of those, the problem is with more calories being eaten than calories being burned.

caloric intake > caloric burn -> weight gain

caloric intake = caloric burn -> weight stabilises

caloric intake < caloric burn -> weight loss

You can alter your caloric intake by changing the amount and type of food you eat. You can alter your caloric burn by changing the amount of exercise / labor you perform.

What I like about the Economist is that they are not afraid of changing tack mid-way through if it turns out that the facts or circumstances have changed, making their position untenable.

In Europe, particularly the UK where the Economist is from, they are considered Liberals (classical Liberalism) and much of their social and fiscal agenda is nowhere near as "right" as the "right-wing" in America; in fact, they're probably more left than even the Democrats in many ways. Humanist, indeed.
"Dr. Rudolph Leibel, now an obesity researcher at Columbia University, and I took people who were of normal weight and had them live in the hospital, where we diddled with the number of calories we fed them so we could keep their weights absolutely constant, which is no easy thing. This was done with liquid diets of exactly known calorie content."

Wow, how much does one get paid for agreeing to take part in something so terrible sounding?
no, Digg killed digg.
They didn't listen to the community and they lost user data and did nothing to recover it, at least that was my experience after loosing several thousand diggs on my user account and then being reset to 0. You can't imagine the piss off.

There is no thing as better Twitter
Simply you cannot do a better Twitter/Facebook/Google/E-type/Mustang/GTO/Coca-Cola/Pepsi... Your new creation may look like the old thing. As long as you have a new idea, your product will feel different if you succeed. The brands I just wrote are good examples of this view. I'm sure HN community know these examples very well...

Twitter was viewed, at the start, like a microblogging tool but Twitter was Twitter, not a microblogger. Our "New Twitter" is exactly like the Twitter with a few (hopefully) well placed features, even simpler and easier to use. Tusulog may look like Twitter, feel like Twitter or function like Twitter, Tusulog is not Twitter. I'm writing this post before we're done with this redesign-completely-thing because of the latest meme by Dalton Caldwell which is trying to offer a new paid Twitter.

If you try Tusulog and send your opinions here I'll be glad...
BitTorrent's popularity leads to mass copyright trolling
They don't take anonymous outside contributions, as least, not without putting their name in the byline (rendering the anonymous bit incorrect); they do publish their articles under pseudonyms -- like Babbage, Bagehot, etc. -- or initials only, as they feel the article and author represent the entire magazine and not just the views of the journalist who wrote the piece.
If Apple really felt their product was superior, I'm sure they wouldn't need to worry about their competition enough to sue them.
I think the snarky response would be that "in dieting unproven criticism of published scientific studies is no substitute for research."

I think it's fine to come up with such criticism as long as it leads to looking at and questioning the result and defining further studies, but......

One of my hobbies is history and archaeology. It's what I studied mostly in college (computing was just a hobby). One of the fascinating things is that diets where the primary calories come from carbs is associated in the archaeological record with both more dental problems (due to changes in the bacterial flora of the mouth) and shorter life expectancy than are lower carb diets.

So a diet where your main sources of calories are essentially a curdled milk, and dried fish with butter, and where your primary source of carbs (and use of grain) is from beer has a longer life expectancy, and a much lower dental problem rate than a diet where grains and breads are the primary source of calories.

One of the interesting things you can watch in the Scandinavian archaeological record is that during the conversion, grain production went up, life expectancy went down,and dental caries became far more common. Moreover the spread is sufficiently high that it cannot be accounted for by infant mortality. Average life expectancy at birth in the Viking Age (according to Else Roesdahl) was approx 45, though this probably did not include infanticides which poses some selection problem. But in France at the same time it was 20. Moreover the average life expectancy at age 20 in France at the time was only 35.

This doesn't mean that there weren't other factors involved such as changing standards of hygiene, or population changes that might not have had some impact. However I don't think one can say that diet had nothing to do with it.
Lots of the bitcoin hacks have been security amateur stuff. E.g. MtGox was just storing MD5 hashed passwords. Unix added salts to passwords decades ago. The people making this sites don't know about security.
That's not really the point.

Having total control over your own phone doesn't resolve the more fundamental problem that, in order to do basic tasks such as make calls or send text messages, you are dependent on a cell phone provier who then, through ordinary usage, is able to collect a terrifying amount of data about you.

They can triangulate your location whenever your phone is on and connected to their network (24/7 for most people), and have a full record of your calls, text messages, as well as all the data you send through their network.

Forgive my sense of humour, but just on the title alone....

....When is magic a substitute for science?

I mean, I read the title, and my response was, "Yeah, I know. And why is it prefaced with 'in dieting'?" Does it need further reading?

To be serious, from what I can tell, the problem is people in general will always look for the easy out. No matter the science or logic, if some one presents a "cure pill", they want it. Deep down they know its more hope than anything else, but because it looks easy, they are only too willing to part with cash. This article wont change that, it just reinforces those who already agree.

Are you using only the previous word as the input for the chain? I wonder if it would be better to use something like the previous 2 words. I think that's how Mark V. Shaney managed to be so convincing.
Yes, a child being preyed upon by a paedophile. Nothing would stop it happening in real life, why is that relevant? Kids can die from drinking too much water, but using your reductio ad absurdum, you'd accuse me of wanting to ban water. Obviously there's a reasonable balance, which you continue to reject.

People have obviously found that online fora are perfect to groom children, because you can approach a child far easier than doing so in a playground. You can also repeatedly try with different children without your likeness being plastered on a wall somewhere. Since it's an obvious target, and checking it can be automated, why not police it in a balanced way? Again, you only see one side of this.

Similarly, in real life if you had a cheap, automated way of highlighting interactions that have been proved to have a higher chance of leading to children being molested while still balancing that with the human rights of the adult, most would find a balance between "do nothing" and "be hysterical". We don't have such an automated mechanism, and I'm sure your cameras-every-five-metres idea is on the hysterical side of balance, so even using it is obviously a straw man argument. That doesn't discount more rational approaches for those who have more than one principle in mind.

Yeah, unlike policing and health, SpaceX's activities are not necessary. Don't get me wrong, what SpaceX is doing is fantastic, even inspirational, but not an essential service. So, if it goes wrong, even badly wrong, it really does not matter.
The hotspot also passes data back to the handset, which can identify it individually. If the hotspot location is previously known that gives you coordinates. In dense areas like New York, you're within range of multiple AP's on a fairly constant basis, allowing for real time triangulation. This is why google maps prompts you to turn on wifi to improve location, even though you are not connecting to the Internet through the AP's.
That's reading a bit too much into it.

Apple's lawyers have always been busy. In the "PC era", Apple sued businesses that dared to use an apple as its logo.
The only people who are going to write articles for free are going to be emotionally invested in the topic. Otherwise there's no payoff for them.

Editors on the other hand, have a very simple payoff: power.
The article is too one-sided for sure, but the fact that the cash that doesn't go to the workers goes to the shareholders' pockets is practically a truism: That cash is called profit, and shareholders (rightfully) expect it from their investment.
Apple should focus on competing on the quality of THEIR product. Not rely on lawyers and back room deals to cripple the competitions products.

There doesn't seem to be any information stating whether or not Apple made any attempt to tell retailers they could sell these products again after the injunction was lifted.

This is as anti-competitive behavior at its worse. Before we know it Apple will have formed the OAAA (Only Apple Association of America) and be lobbying congress to force consumers to pay a fee just for owning non-Apple products.

I can't really see how you could spend £21k per person on security for an event lasting a couple of weeks.

Do you really think the excess after expenses is going to wages rather than to shareholders? How can they not have enough people if they're paying £8k+ per week. Have they asked TA members if they'd take 3 weeks off work to earn a years wages?

The $0.10 minutes that come with that aren't especially competitive with other prepaid services. I'm not sure they will activate a phone everywhere.

I remember reading in a 1st Circuit (I think) opinion that something like 60% of challenged patents are invalidated. This strategy strikes me as quite dangerous for Apple. They risk losing on average a bit over half of the patents at issue, and they could lose everything. Worse, even if they win, the patents at issue will be worked around and it will be a temporary setback. Apple really gets very little out of this fight.

So yeah, given that reality it would probably be smarter to try to focus on, well, actually trying to dominate in the marketplace rather than in the courtroom.
This makes me wonder why Brits prefer to courageously make jokes at Putin's regime (with which I'm fine, they're deserved), instead of just going to the Big Ben palace and giving a boot to the same kind of governors sitting there.

That really cool stuff nestled deep in a propiratary binary, Odds are its not really that neat or cool. Thats not to say the people who made it aren't really smart and good at what they do, but odds are its been done before. By refusing to learn from and give back to the development community all they have done is made sure no one ever learns from something they might have done differently or better. Meanwhile the experts in the field are the ones who have taken whats been done, understood it, and built upon it. My point is a majority of those people _are_ giving back in the form of public discourse.
