From what you've posted in this thread, I gather that you have not taken the time to understand insulin, what it is, and how low carb diets affect insulin, carbohydrate cravings and cell metabolism.

First link briefly covers the insulin response second link is general information regarding insulin.

mountains of contradictory research

Not really. There's mountains of research and then public policy officials and non-scientist nutritionists that have let the food industry provide guidelines and cheap foods that aren't really good for us.

As Gary Taube points out in the video link, the science is old news. The puzzling thing is why the science has been ignored for so long.

I think that's the most important lesson learned from this tale.
Sure, funding free software democratically as a public good is rational. There's no law of physics which makes you choose between directly compensating people, and their work being open. Books, music and movies could then also be open.

I recall this has been advocated by Lessig and Stallman. Go far enough in this direction, you end up with ideas like Participatory Economics. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Participatory_economics)

Unfortunately, to people in non-democratic countries (who, for example, can't choose to stop allocating their taxes to prisons, drones, armies and surveillance), taxes are some awful thing. But in a saner culture, people would rather enjoy deciding on collective purchases.
And all engineering software is useless because it allows you to plan out your design ahead of time. I'm glad I know that now. Thanks for your insightful hyperbole.

Keto is not a "fad diet" and is not about eating lots of fats. The core of what it's about is recognizing fat is not bad for you, and that the 3 main legs of what we eat are carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Reduce the amount of carbs to a minimum and make up for it with increased protein and fats.

Keto is backed up by a ton of science and real-world success. Just visit the keto subreddit and spend a few hours perusing, http://reddit.com/r/keto.

Yes, but they do...

Here, schools are obliged to teach that who abolished slavery was Princess Isabel, like if she was some sort of heroine and the emperor had nothing to do with it, also all the other anti-slavery laws he passed, are usually dismissed (for example, one of the laws the emperor passed was prohibiting the slavery of children of slaves, schools here dismiss that law by saying that it is so impratical that noone would obey anyway, without even giving proof if people obeyed or not).

Also, several of the things done in the first years of the republic were for example rename streets and parks that had any relation to the monarchy or slavery (even if it had to do with slavery abolition)...

During the school I (and everyone else I asked) was taught that Emperor Pedro I independence was shit because he did not abolished slavery with it, and thus if existed non-free people the country was not free at all and still a pawn of Portugal (as with one thing had to do with the other), and all school books give much emphasis on how slavery was not abolished during the independence... I even saw one book that teach (Wrongly) that during US independence they abolished slavery, as a sort of "proof" of how true republics are inherently better because they get rid of slavery.

Also, NONE of the history books mention slave demograhics, and only teach about plantation slavery (that was really akin to US slavery), I don't found a single school book that mentions other forms of slavery (like voluntary indentured servitude), or urban slavery (that in Brazil was the majority, despite most of the free population living in rural areas), or that only 1% of the slaves were actually chained into the infamous "Senzalas" (plantation slave barracks) that he books teach so much about (all history books explain of all evils of the "Senzalas").

Also, not one single book mention who broughts the slaves here in first place (it was not white people... the brazillian first generation slaves were almost all war prisioners or imprisoned criminals that africans came here to sell... Yes, they came here, many people believe portuguese bought the slaves at Africa, this of course happened, but was not the normal course of action, black slavers came to Brazil in portuguese ships, bringing the slaves they wanted to sell here).

Also most school books here don't talk at all about Pedro II technology achievements for example (even in Campinas where I lived most of my life, people don't know that most of public colleges there were made by decree of Pedro II, neither they know that Campinas was the second city in the world to have a telephone system, that Pedro II in person brought there after visiting Mr. Bell in the US during his vacation).

ctrl+f "gluten" and "paleo" yup, circle jerk is on.

I'm sorry to be negative but it seems such a fad people convince themselves and others gluten is equivalent to cyanide. We've been through the Atkins junk he even died from it. I know people with Celiac and it's a daily struggle it's not a trendy disease if you actually have it, you can't even have pepper since most commercial pepper is dusted with wheat flour.

Can't we all agree to valid nutritional information from independent double-blind studies nothing with "supports" or a pil helping your immune system (an extremely complex...you guess it a 'system' not one thing that can be affected by one molecule.)

I weight more now than I ever have and I know why it's because I started working shift work, stopped going to the gym, drank energy drinks and went to Starbucks daily. To get back to being healthy I reverse what I did wrong so back to eating buckets of gluten and carbs but be active.

I'm all for health and good nutrition but these days it seems like nothing is good unless it's some extreme diet. US and Canada beverages are extreme, food portions are extreme, exercise is extreme (bootcamps jogging? bah!), vehicles are extreme now diets are extreme.

> Everyone gets caught in the end.

How would you know if they didn't?
I am arguing only that you suggest harassment is the worst that will happen. There is much much much documentation that the worst is far worse than harassment. I am not disputing the potential (not at all as certain as you seem to think) of getting damages even. Merely that arrest and court is far beyond harassment. I agree with the normalizing of the circumstances aspect of your argument.

Basically I am saying the fact that you haven't been arrested does not in any way (logically, evidentially or even anecdotally) suggest that this the case one should prepare for.
Yes, who has legal reasons to ask, wouldn't ask about it here probably
It gives a pretty good estimate of the error involved in the descent rate reporting. Probably accurate +/- 200 FPM or so.

The airspeed encoder is probably from the same system that displays the pilot instruments, indicated airspeed IAS. I thought it odd that the analysis of conditions didn't think 125 and 98 were ridiculously low airspeeds, but claimed that an approach around 130 knots was a "fast approach". However what little I know about the 777 from the flightsim and real pilot community is that a typical approach is around 150-something slowing to a bit above 130 at flare. I've read some claims from actual heavy pilots that under really light conditions a Vref below 120 is theoretically possible.

None of us know the weight and balance calcs so its impossible to determine if the pilots were doing the correct thing, although it is possible to determine they were flying a flight path implying they thought they were very light indeed. Now why? Who knows. Maybe because they were right, they were light. Maybe because they were low-ish on fuel. Maybe they didn't trust their IAS instrument. Maybe their IAS was actually broken and comparing their visual approach with instruments, well, its just a really strong headwind today. Maybe they made a math error. Somebody overcontrolled?

He could have found this info by violating the copyright of numerous google-able flight sim forums, and forums with real genuine 777 pilots talking about their experience with the 777. Instead he violates the copyright of a picture which we've all already seen, oh well.

Yes an no. YOu can't access it directly, but if you call toString() on a function you'll get is source code as a string so you can parse it.

Prototype do that to handle the special $super parameter [0].
But most modern minifier rename function parameters and local variables, so it's not a good idea.

“Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food”

As for myself, I don't know whom to trust anymore, but there are a few common themes:
- varied diet is better
- raw food (not processed) is better. You haven't evolved eating processed food.
- use very little or no sugar. It's related to be above, really - humans used to be unable to get so much sugar.

> "Thinking he was about to be robbed again, he fired through the door"

Yeah, that appears to be a pretty foolish thing to do. What if it were firefighters who noticed a fire through his upstairs window? I don't think that they would just ring the bell and wait for an answer. I know that this a hypothetical situation, but it just seems a really stupid thing to just blindly fire at whatever is behind the door.

The only people who claim that the police did not first knock on the door are the friends and associates of the victim. One of the two groups is lying, and both can be lying to cover their asses. I have too little information to know whether this is an actual case of police brutality, sorry.

Edit: As a correction, the victim and his friends don't need to be lying. Perhaps the doorbell was broken, perhaps they didn't hear the police officers pounding at their door. I don't know, why should I jump to conclusions?
It's so ironic that people compare terrorist deaths to car accidents and bathtub deaths in the same sentence as they talk about the chilling effects of surveillance.

It's being used when needed. When not needed, pilots use the opportunity to practice landings. It's important to not get over-dependent on automation.
It looks like this was an unstabilized approach right down to the ground. It would be interesting to see what the company SOP is. Any safe airline has a no-fault go-around policy for unstabilized approaches, and you'll actually get in trouble if you continue with an unstabilized approach and you don't go around. From what pilots are saying on the message boards it seems that a lot of Asian airlines have pretty much the opposite policy - you get in trouble if you go around for any reason, and they would prefer you to salvage an unstabilized approach to save money.

Entrapment laws are a defense from prosecution, and they're different in every state. Normally it's only entrapment if the cop is enticing someone to break a law he wouldn't have broken otherwise. In this case if the guy was betting on games every Sunday the jury probably would have taken a dim view of an entrapment defense.

The shooting is another issue. The cop is saying it wasn't deliberate, and that's probably true.
I think it's interesting - Proust talks about this, an intonation to show detachment.

As he spoke I noticed, what had often struck me before in his conversations with my grandmother’s sisters, that whenever he spoke of serious matters, whenever he used an expression which seemed to imply a definite opinion upon some important subject, he would take care to isolate, to sterilise it by using a special intonation, mechanical and ironic, as though he had put the phrase or word between inverted commas, and was anxious to disclaim any personal responsibility for it; as who should say “the ’hierarchy,’ don’t you know, as silly people call it.
Actually I believe that our brains are wired to work from anecdote to theory, not from statistics to theory.

In a small group this is a pretty good strategy. Where it breaks down in life is that the odds that we hear about an anecdote depend on the anecdote. This leads to all kinds of bias.

I know the limits of my conscious analysis. I therefore have come to accept that there is value for me in filtering out "something that happened to someone I directly know" from "something I heard about". Since this happened to someone I directly know, it affects what I think.

YMMV, and if you follow my rule, definitely should. But you'll at least understand why I might come to different conclusions than you do.
Ghostery is definitely the issue.
Because the G10 Act contains safeguards that the BND is required to adhere to, but the NSA isn't.

- The BND has to immediately delete all records except the ones that are relevant for an enumerated set of purposes and has to document this deletion. Per the parliamentary commission's reports [1], the remaining messages are generally a few hundred annually.

- The BND can only share them with law enforcement for the prevention and prosecution of an enumerated list of serious crimes. Using them for other purposes it not allowed, and evidence obtained as the result of such illegally shared information is to be excluded by the courts [2].

- The BND has to notify anybody whose messages have not been deleted immediately that some of their telecommunication has been intercepted. This has to occur within 12 months, unless the G10 commission authorizes a deferral of the notification. The annual report of the parliamentary commission lists how many people were and were not notified.

The BND is subject to these constraints, the NSA isn't.

Furthermore, if the BND breaks the law, remedies are available; Germany does not have any recourse against NSA actions.

Reset Glitch Hack
It's hard to comment on this post considering how many times we've seen the "HN-is-dying" meme, but for me this time it really resonates.

What has made HN interesting is the fact that it was boring to the vast majority of people on this planet. The topics were generally speaking on a very specific set of subjects that you largely had to be in the technology world (and of a certain technical disposition) to relate to.

The relative boringness of these topics led to comments by folks who found them particularly fascinating, setting a high community standard and discouraging soapboxing (comparatively speaking, of course -- I'm under no illusions that HN was ever the most pristine and idealistic place). For a long time I thought PG did a good job of enforcing that culture by shutting down off-topic conversations and keeping the focus fairly intense.

The problem with political posts is that they are often extremely relevant to hackers, especially these days. But everyone finds politics interesting, and everyone (myself included) believes their political beliefs are equally valid. Watching snarky posts and soapboxes get rewarded does send a message that this is how to get noticed. Long-term, I fear this fundamentally coarsens the level of discourse by making it easier to dismiss the beliefs of others and making it easier to participate in situations where I feel ignorant.

Unfortunately, I think there's only one way I know of to stop this -- which would be for PG and/or the moderators to take an active role in enforcing the "no politics" rule that's already in the guidelines. But I think they're perhaps legitimately concerned about censorship -- anathema to hackers -- and have kept a loose hand. Beyond that I'm not sure what they can do.

That's the purpose of key signing. The author--like almost all PGP users--has gotten his key signed by third parties. This means that its integrity can be verified. E.g., if a man in the middle were to intercept the HTTP response and change the contents of the key, it would lack the signatures.

Still, I suppose it's possible for an adversary to work around this as well. If you can find enough people who are 1) willing to falsely sign a key, and 2) trusted by others, you can have these people sign a spoofed key. But then these people would be putting their reputations on the line, and the probability of being exposed is high. Thus the cost of the attack is high.

The lesson being: If you're emailing info that is valuable enough to warrant such a costly attack, verify the key through some other means. Meet the message recipient in person, for example. And consider a thorough security audit of everything in your digital and physical life. You're obviously operating in a far more dangerous world than I do. There are probably many vulnerabilities available to attackers that have nothing to do with your email.

Of course, you're entirely correct in that :)

My warning was truly an aside, and given the nature of a large group of visitors, of course a handful might not follow best practices and verify the signatures, etc.
This is so, so true. So often when people ask questions like this, they seem to be overestimating the value of having access to the code that they're interested in, and underestimating the expense and risk of open sourcing it.

Very few companies would be willing to just throw the code as is to the world. Usually they're going to want to go over that old code line by line to make sure it's fit for public consumption and doesn't contain intellectual property that they don't have a right to open source. All of that stuff costs money and engineering time and probably legal time as well.

They would also have to have some reason for doing it in the first place, something more than that it could be hypothetically interesting to hypothetical people. That's a leap of faith that few companies are willing to make, and the larger the company, the more people have to make that leap and sign on to it.

Having said that, I also wish that more companies would open source their old code (for academic reasons if nothing else). I just think the reason it doesn't happen more often is for really practical and predictable reasons, and not because those companies are totally oblivious to the idea or because they're evil or anything.
> Because a t-shirt with cola and burger residue is what characterises a hacker and an independent spirit, right?

Preferring a t-shirt doesn't mean you don't care about food stains on your clothes.

I wear high quality t-shirts, jeans and sneakers that look, fit and feel great (to me). They aren't fancy, but niceness seems pretty subjective. My wardrobe is nice to me, maybe not to anyone else.

Personally I gauge the niceness of my desk and car by their utility and enjoyability, same with my clothes. There are certain utilitarian requirements for each, it's pretty much about personal opinion after that.
