While -- as several responses have pointed out -- it is trivially true that diet will help (in that a calorie deficit will always result in weight loss), the real issue with certain thyroid issues is that without a very carefully selected diet and exercise regime, attempting to achieve a calorie deficit in ways that would be easily manageable for a person without metabolic challenge will either leave you completely nonfunctional for life activities (an unacceptable result) or just drop your metabolic rate so that you don't have a calorie deficit.

Weight loss with thyroid issues (and, especially, with other complicating metabolic issues which often occur alongside thyroid issues) is not a simple thing.

People with metabolic issues do need diet/exercise balance to lose weight, but finding the right diet component that allows weight loss while maintaining health and the ability to function can require considerable expert assistance that wouldn't be necessary for a person without those issues.

"Maintain a calorie deficit" is easy to say, but can be very hard to do in a way which actually works.
$903, right?
You didn't like the term temporary?
I understand that conventional smoke detectors can be irritating, but I still don't see how an experience like that is worth an extra $110. I suppose the calculus is different for people with far more money, but for most people, I don't think that smoke detectors pose a large enough annoyance to warrant buying the Nest.

Overall? Less sales more concerts - and musicians earn bigger percentage of money from concerts - so there are more musicians and a little bit better earning.
Could be. What locale are you using? It's fine on "British English"
Well the problem with trying to counter the argument that piracy is killing the music industry is that we are talking about potential sales that would have happened in a universe where no piracy existed. I doubt the graph will help much. They can still claim that with the trends before 2004 the total revenue should have exceeded $100 billion so they still lost $40 (imaginary) billion.
Bluetooth keyboard does wonders for iPad. It's quite a comfortable environment for emails, text editing, etc.

My old retina iPad did quite well as an occasional SSH terminal.
> To be sure, the industry hasn't enjoyed the strong growth it saw in previous decades. Revenues are down slightly since the peak about a decade ago. But there are still plenty of opportunities to earn a living making music fans love.

So, yeah, that'a a big caveat. Notice how the graph, on the left side, cuts off where we see the end of a steep upward slope. How steep was that slope for the previous 20 to 30 years? That's kind of relevant to the argument.

The one in my last apartment was electric, but I believe still had a backup battery. And still chirps like the devil if that goes out, but you can't even just remove it, because then it'll chirp at you for not having a backup battery in place. And there's no way that I know to turn that chirp off.

See how that might be annoying in the middle of the night with high ceilings in the first place, and no replacement battery available?
Hmm, the text was cut off. To continue the question:

I also use knockout.js in my application and was hoping to use karma test-runner or a similar javascript testing framework.

Which tests should I use and which are not worth the time? What is the right combination?
The only that's missing are a couple of quotes from Glengarry Glen Ross
The nature of email is that the government's methods would simply collect all users' data, regardless of whether it was the target's or not. This would be true regardless of Lavabit being designed with user protection in mind or not, unless specialized methods such as those Levison offered to write were employed. Such methods would necessarily vary from provider to provider, because each provider is set up differently. The government simply defaults to massive collection in all cases so they don't have to write that or pay someone to write it. He offered to give them a means to get only the data they asked for, but they turned that down.
>has very strict anti-drug laws.

I mentioned this in a reply below, but I'm an American who lived in Croatia for a little over a year. I lived there with a few other Americans. I'm not sure if any of this is true, but we were told Croatia has very strict anti-drug laws. We were told that if we were caught with any amount of drugs whatsoever we would be instantly deported, no questions asked. I wasn't sure if it was a "you better not do it" exaggeration warning or it was truth. Either way, once a police officer stopped a few other Americans I was living with on the street out of the blue and flat out asked them if they were carrying any drugs. I wasn't with them at the time, I only heard the story when they got home. They were obvious foreigners because they were speaking English to each other while walking down the street. I believe the officer also checked everyone's IDs and the papers we had to carry that showed we registered our address with the local police. Yes, as foreigners staying in Croatia we had to register with the local police.

If they have the private keys they can go back in time 2yrs ago and match up every transaction on the blockchain by asking major exchanges like mtgox, bitstamp ect for records. I'm sure there's a few who directly pulled out bitcoins to a service that has their identity documents and IP.

>> Also, I would think in-app purchase pricing would be relatively inexpensive. I guess I don't see who they're targeting... the target company would need substantially-priced in-app purchases to justify the cost of even traditional advertising.

Not sure what you mean. Why does in-app purchase pricing have to be inexpensive? Why does it matter if it does? Traditional advertising is substantially more expensive than mobile advertising.

The reason a company would be interested in this is because someone who has your app installed (say Uber, to take one of the apps that enables transactions on my phone as an example) is one of the highest value customers you can reach in terms of likelihood to make a purchase (they installed your app, so it's akin to someone entering your store).
One has to wonder when our surveillance overlords will hack into torrent sites and steal user information so that they can easily score hundreds of high-profile arrests for "IP Theft."
The amount of support for Levison and ire toward the government in this case is absurd. The FBI followed the Constitutional process of obtaining a warrant for the information of the "one user".

I suspect that the only reason anyone cares about this case is because Lord Snowden the Infallible deigned to grace Lavabit with his email traffic.

Would the internet outrage be the same if the targeted user was found out to be a Goldman Sachs executive or a Westboro Baptist Church minister?

The article says it pretty well. There are no horrible chirps, it'll alert you in a humane way that hey, your battery is low and you need to change it.

They've clearly found a problem (current alarms suck) and have made a solution. Just because you don't see the convenience doesn't mean other people don't, as is clear from the comments here. Once you get burned by regular smoke detectors in the middle of the night, you would pay good money for a product that actually fixes some of these issues.
Agree. It's great to have that energy source. Storing it is a whole different thing.

Short answer: Yes.

We interviewed one of the first graduates from http://www.makersacademy.com/ and we were blown away at how much potential he showed after only 12 weeks of training.

We made him an offer however he ended up taking a role with a company that required less of a geographical upheaval.

From what I recall, he had three offers from three different companies, all above £30k and he was worth every penny.

As wikipedia notes on Bertrand Russell:

> His work has had a considerable influence on logic, mathematics, set theory, linguistics, artificial intelligence, computer science (see type theory and type system), and philosophy, especially philosophy of language, epistemology, and metaphysics.

Plus he won the Nobel Prize in Literature!

For a very approachable overview of Russell's complex life, I highly recommend the graphic novel "Logicomix"

Well, margin: auto is how you center things horizontally. What? You want something like align: center instead? Well, that's just semantics. It's a legacy issue built on extending instead of improving.

Here's a fun one, make a div display: inline-block and then use text-align: center on its parent. Why the hell does the div center when the rule is for text? Is it badly implemented or is it badly named? Without reading the actual spec it's a mystery.

I use CSS extensively nearly every day. I learned CSS before IE6 existed. You don't like dirty hacks? I've likely forgotten more dirty hacks then you'll ever be required to know about. Compared to how things started, CSS is a godsend to us today. But I'm not going to yell to you to get off my lawn, because the fun has only just started and you should feel free to join in.

The problems you listed that you have with CSS, you do realize that's mostly because of how browsers implemented CSS and some related technologies right? CSS isn't a dirty pimp, he's actually the guy down the street that knows all about fashion and design but everybody keeps wanting him to build cars.
The only thing I have to contribute is that I've noticed that making fun of people is often assumed to have a hateful undercurrent that isn't necessarily there. I mean, the two often go hand in hand, I'm not denying that, but it's really not necessary to hate someone or have contempt for them in order to find their appearance humorous. I feel like that assumption is a little bit too automatic, on both sides.

And if you are chiding others for their cruelty, do you not ever laugh at the appearance of another? Really, never? We are all human, and it would be good for each side of this issue to come to understand the other a bit better.

"Why do you think that's funny?" is a good question for someone who laughs at fat people out of hatred and self-superiority. For someone who is just laughing, though, there is no answer. The effect of explaining a joke is well-understood.

He shouldn't have any "cred" when it comes to security or availability. Maybe with sticking it to the man, but that doesn't a secure service make.

The system did serve sider encryption and decryption. Lavabit has, in the past, complied with court orders for data. They have access to the data. This is the fundamental problem with Lavabit.

It's rather unclear why they didn't comply with the initial court order in this case which was just for data on Snowden's account, but it's clear they could have complied (though maybe not as quickly as the Fed's wanted) and that they have in the past.

So, if you are contemplating using Lavabit II, keep in mind that sooner or latter it will get a lawful court order for data from whatever jurisdiction it's in. Either it will comply with it --- in which case it's street cred is worthless --- or it will refuse with the same apparent "fuck the police" bravado everyone likes , leading to the same set of escalations that happened here. The end of that is either/all of 1) the service failing because of computer seizure/the founder being held in contempt so he can't maintain it 2) Him caving and handing over keys again or 3) him shutting down the service to prevent 2.

None of these are good. If the court order is targeted at you, there is a decent chance your data is handed over. If it's not, there is a decent chance your data is still handed over or the service goes under.

Oh, and lastly, if your worried about the NSA's dragnet surveillance, they can just hack a foreign server.

I think the difference is that now innocence has been lost. SR seemed so invulnerable. I think the biggest revelation out of the whole thing is that people for a long assumed that just because they got their vacuum-sealed drugs that they weren't, in fact, being "caught".
Is insider trading a trumped-up charge? I didn't hear the internet outrage about Enron's CFO being indicted for the same charge.
Yes. Ever since I got the thermostats, I've wanted add-on sensors for other rooms. The placement of the thermostats in my house is not great for setting the temperature in the rooms I actually care about, so it would be great to have additional small sensors in the primary living areas. It seems like they could make it an all-in-one device -- a Nest extension that works with both the thermostats and the smoke alarms.
Killer feature for travel. Not only is this thing extremely light (lighter than the small air and zenbook), but you can save weight and space with a small usb charger and cable. Even if it is slower, that is a decent trade-off. I wonder if you can charge devices from the USB ports.

With that and the fanless design, IPS display, etc. This is looking pretty good. If could run a "real" linux distro without the hacks, it would be awesome.

EDIT: Although it has very few ports (no ethernet, HDMI) and a glossy screen, so that sucks

I would assume that many behaviours (including language itself) are inherited - and yet have nothing whatever to do with genetics. How would you control for this?

Only last week, we had an article on here about how vocabulary in very young children was a function of how much parents talked to their children - with marked differences between economic groups[1]. There are many many systematic errors in this kind of data, and I have no good (ethical) suggestions in how to eliminate them.

It seems odd that they aren't leveraging an additional temperature reading. Some detectors have a heat alarm (not this one). So perhaps a firmware update will bring this. We'll have to wait for the ifixit teardown.

Also, does anyone know how successful WiFi jammers are at negating current systems like this?

Not really, you can buy CO2 sensors COTS for HVAC guys to prevent "stuffy" rooms. Its industrial grade product and price and you won't be buying them at walmart but the UI is very HVAC-dude oriented. Also if you sell dry ice you're supposed to own a permanently wall mounted one even if you officially keep the stuff outside (depends on local building code and licenses and regs I'm sure)

There's a different UI for combustion gas analyzers, most any HVAC guy owns one if he does furnace work. They're about an order of magnitude more expensive and the ratio of CO2/O2 tells you quite a bit about the level of draft (and they usually have a CO sensor too which only comes into play when draft/mixture is tremendously rich)
The thing that draws me to Nest is not the product value but the design. They are beautiful, well thought out products. I probably won't buy a Nest Protect, as my pain point isn't that high, but it's sexy as hell.

Smoke/Carbon Monoxide detectors have been an enormous issue for me.

Many of the detectors that use a 9V battery backup have a poorly designed chamber holding the battery. Often the battery doesn't make good contact with the metal contacts inside the detector. This results in constant false positives that the battery is low. When it actually does run low, I'm forced to start this cycle over and over again of: find "new" battery, alarm still chirping, is the "new" battery really low or is it the battery chamber misaligned again, etc.

The dog loses another 3 months of her life from stress whenever this happens. I've never seen an animal so scared of a constant chirp.

So when these things start chirping at 2am, and I can't tell if the batteries in the drawer are brand new, instead of dealing with a scared dog, and possibly buying yet more new batteries, the detector comes off the ceiling and ends up in a drawer of blankets to dampen the noise as the chirping takes awhile to die after the detector is removed from power and battery removed.

Additionally, I help with many things around our condo association. I'm constantly changing batteries in these detectors. But first I need to find them. You hear a chirp that the battery is low, and now you have to find it somewhere. Maybe it's in the common hallways of 3 floors of units, or maybe it's a unit owner's. This involves me walking around the building trying to catch one in action of chirping.

I've been a loud detractor of Nest in the past because of their use of Facebook ads spamming my friend list, but I welcome an intelligently designed detector and am going to gladly spend the money to buy at least two of these and will hopefully get the condo association on these. The dog is going to be very happy. :)
