There are various techniques in order to approach a "Stoichiometric combustion" while burning woods. It's indeed very difficult to reach due to various factor (e.g. partially wet woods or mixed woods). The major risk when you have incomplete combustion is the generation of formaldehyde. That's indeed a critical risk but the combustion for "mass heating" is targeting a fast and quick combustion (the opposite of the common "recreational" fire place") where you can limit the risk. Regarding the "carcinogens" and especially the short particles, this is a shared issue among all combustion and the gasoline/fuel burning is also a major source of particles.

So my point regarding this article, you cannot draw risk conclusion without comparing the various combustion techniques.
All of the ships that I have been on have the overlay feature on the ECDIS turned off. It tends to make the screen too crowded in busy ports. If the mates need to look at someone's name they just compare the reported position from AIS to position on the RADAR/ECDIS of the ship they are trying to contact.

Also, the AIS data is self reporting so if they forget to change the information then it's useless anyways. I've seen 'anchored' ships driving away at 10 knots.

Unethical is a strange term of eating animal products. I don't think this "ethical" diet is going to work for me.

However, missing sleep and then driving (a rather common occurrence) is incredibly dangerous to the person doing it and others. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleep-deprived_driving) In fact, I think it's fair to argue that sleep deprivation plus daily activities (work or otherwise) likely puts more people at risk than burning wood, many of them without their consent (as they are not the sleep deprived ones).

1. Your mom's comment was hilarious.

2. I agree with your point about the standard top comment on most Hacker News posts being contrarian. It can be very annoying, but having a strong dissenting voice also helps keep BS posts in check. I have noticed a lot more jokes as the top comments within posts though. I'm not sure if that's good or BSD. The first example that comes mind is a post titled 'You have a 0.000007% chance of becoming a billionaire'. The top rated comment was the common Reddit joke 'So you're saying I have a chance'.
You are not being consistent:

[1] If it had worked fine, it would never have been added in the first place.
[2] Sites like Google are VERY aware of the CV list & the modes they're rendering in; it's not a surprise to them.

Those 2 together are suggesting Google knows problem all along and you have been working with them but they didn't fix the issue.
It's ironic how this post is also number 1
For those of you who think you need a "good server" to be on the front page of hacker news, you're wrong. My blog hit #2 on HN and landed on the front page a few times in the last six months.

I have a Rackspace 256mb ram slice hosting Wordpress. No caching at all, none.

I also run, on the same server, a teamspeak server for a friend that still plays games.

I peaked at 290 simultaneous people reading my post. Teamspeak server was still working fine.

It makes me happy that there's some technical discussion on this thread. One thing I'd like to add is that linear power supplies are better for AV systems because switching power supplies have a lot more RFI and electrical noise, which can be a problem when you're dealing with small analog signals. (This noise is also why cheap wall chargers can cause your phone's touchscreen to malfunction, since they have very small signals which can be overwhelmed by noise.) So they aren't using linear power supplies just to make the AV box more impressive, but for functional reasons. (See www.ti.com/litv/pdf/snaa057b which explains why unregulated linear power supplies are good for audio systems.)
Fullscreen is there and yes, it will be open source.
I don't know too much about it but when I was looking at sweeteners to see if they would work on my keto diet I found that they are very high carb generally.

im interested to see what changed now that MS "fixed" it. was the UA string mismatch updated? or did they just remove it from their compatibility list
There's also a third category, in which I seem to fall- not rejecting evidence, but ignoring it on purpose. As in, "Yes, you are pretty much right, but I don't want to change my ways so I am going to stop thinking about this".
Both bugs are fixed now.
Other than ethical reasons, what's the issue here?

Not being snarky; just legitimately curious. I would love to see some hard science and longitudinal studies behind the ostensible benefits of a vegan diet, or the drawbacks of a diet high -- but not overly high -- in animal protein.

I realize cooked animal protein and preserved/processed animal protein contains carcinogens, and that too much protein (regardless of source) can cause a variety of problems ranging from kidney impairment to gout. But plant-based sources have their costs as well (phytoestrogens, antinutrients, oxalates, etc.).

I've never felt better in my life, and my various lab stats have never looked better, than when I went on a Paleo-esque high fat, low carb diet that was quite rich in animal sources, but which also contained a healthful amount of vegetables (and no fruit). I took the diet as far as ketosis, and after breaking through the ramp-up hurdles, I settled into it and got into fantastic shape.

Anecdotal, yes. But I've struggled with "skinny-fatness" for much of my life, and this particular combination made a remarkable improvement on my physique without any changes in my exercise routine. Maybe my caloric consumption shifted a bit, but if anything, it probably shifted north.
"HFTs are tilting the balance in one way (helping the rich getting richer) "

WTF are you talking about?

1. HFT's are full of math and computer science people, which are usually drawn from the middle and lower classes.

2. Before HFT's, the people on the floor were inbred... That's right. There was a lot of passing down the torch since it was the type of job that you can learn by doing it. Oh, yes, and to claim that they were selecting by some "meritocracity", they were selecting for "street smarts" Haha! That only gave them carte blanche to hire their relatives
I didn't see anything in there advocating overabundance on either side, simply the irony of selling an alternative to one overabundance to a mass of people willing to engage in an equally or similarly harmful overabundance of something else.

Trying to see if this Saas management idea makes sense.
In other words is this a problem / does a formal solution aside from an ad hoc one exist?

Let's say a company (SMB or even enterprise) has at any time users signed up for several diverse SaaS solutions, all expiring at different times often not being used but still auto renewed (or being used but by less users than initially thought). Would it be useful to have a subscription management system which would:

1. Manage expiry and renewals
2. Contain relevant info on price, contract details, terms etc..
3. list specific users
4. track usage by outgoing server logs. Granted it would not be all encompassing but just to check for non use.
5. If #4 shows non use then poll the users listed on that service
6. Track price changes and other bundles offered by the Saas including competing ones as well.

As a vendor I notice that like gym memberships these services are under used and Saas companies benefit from auto renewals etc...

Yes, this can be done in-house, but I was thinking if building a dedicated solution to offer would be worthwhile (and would managers, accountants pay for this).

I would appreciate any comments, experiences, further ideas... or if this even makes sense.

Thanks in advance.

Is Apple experimenting with Android-style sharing on iOS?
Um... maybe get a real life and real friends instead of being addicted to social media?

It's surprisingly doable - no one has ever died from not have a facebook account. No one has never not climbed the corporate ladder from not have a facebook account (the opposite is very true). No one has ever had a family disown them, forget about them, get confused who they are from not having a facebook account. Real friends will still call, get together, do things, and go places all without the "help" of facebook. Email of any flavor still works, as does SMS, and gasp snail mail. And of course that old faithful, realtime communication either by phone or in person is still oh so wonderful.

So put down the facebook koolaid and get a real life - it's amazing what can be done in the real world.

I seem to have a panel on the left that is obscuring about half of the text. I'm sure that can't be the intention - is it yet another case of incredibly poor design?

There appears to be no way to dismiss it, and it doesn't move. In short, I can't read the article, because someone wanted to be clever.

Added in edit: It becomes visible if I reduce my text size, rendering the text visible, but difficult to read. Interesting trade-off.
In theory if they can find it, it can be DDOS'd. But not hosting public facing servers makes it much less likely to be a problem.
Did he actually manage to change your mind about scientific morality though? That seems to be the one area where he's met with a lot of resistance from the secular types.

Specifically that science can quatify the morality of various actions and doings. This is what his last book is all about, "The Moral Landscape". He talks about it here on a TED talk: http://www.ted.com/talks/sam_harris_science_can_show_what_s_...

A lot of people are unconvinced, but he's definitely the guy to be making these arguments, considering he got his PhD in neuroscience.

It's worth putting this in context. Hetzner provides really beefy dedicated servers for ridiculously low prices [1].

You get great support (always had phone calls answered pretty much instantly and emails answered within a few minutes and all the techs I've dealt with knew what they were doing).

You can issue automated hardware resets and even get a remotely-controlled KVM attached to tweak the BIOS or regain access to your machine if you messed up the networking config (usually only takes a few minutes to get the KVM attached).

Orders for new hardware are also really fast - dealt with within the hour and often in under 15 minutes.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. If you host at Hetnzer, you have to be aware of the reasons why they're so cheap, namely:

1) The servers are 100% unmanaged. They'll install new hardware for you if you ask them but everything else is up to you.

2) A lot of their hardware is desktop-grade, e.g. Intel Core i7 CPUs and non-ECC RAM. They do have some server-grade hardware in their high-end range however.

3) Their servers are in Germany. So you get quite a bit of latency if accessed from Asia or the West Coast of the US (see [2]).

4) They don't have any DDoS protection. In case of a DDoS, your server will get null-routed (but they tell you first). Again: 100% unmanaged. Up to you to deal with it. I've been lucky enough to not have to deal with a DDoS but my first port of call would probably be CloudFlare it it happened.

Provided that you're happy to do some sys admin, Hetzner is brilliant for a personal server, a CI server or even a prod server for a bootstrapped startup.

For literally next to nothing, you get a really powerful machine that will easily handle big traffic spikes without a breaking a sweat. And dedicated machine means that you get excellent and consistent CPU performance and disk I/O. If and when your startup takes off and you get funding, you can then choose between hiring a sys admin or moving to a more expensive host that offers a more managed setup.

32/36 after getting my score the only question I had was: "what is the probability that I can read people's emotion correctly ?"
Everyone's an expert on food. If I ate what all the different experts told me to eat I'd be on a different diet every day. I bet a different group of nutritional scientists would take a look at these studies and find a completely different conclusion (and likely have). There is nothing special about Sweden to make me believe they know more about food than any other country.

It's great if you feel good with your diet, as it's your body. But it's a single data point. Trying to build a diet that works for everyone is like trying to find a single programming language for everyone. A diet that works for you over a few months isn't enough time to discover its true benefits, just as a terrible diet's effects aren't obvious potentially for much of a lifetime.

There are plenty of people around the world's whose diet is not high fat, low carb (the Mediterranean for one) but still remain healthy so that isn't a great indicator that there is strictly one way to eat.

I took enough biochemistry and nutritional chemistry classes in college to know how complicated our processing of food is, and how difficult it is to make guidelines for how people should eat.
This sounds about right. Though I've gone through enough self-improvement cycles that my "emotional death spiral" aren't as drastic now - mind you, they still suck and do contrast strongly the feeling and productivity when in the creative energy bursts. The more pieces of life I have figured out the better too. I almost found a permanent counter-balance, a woman, who I thought would end up inspiring me permanently - though that opportunity never ended up not being possible.
You can cross high fat and MSG off your list :) Sleep well.

Startup School 2013 Notes
As my other comment said, it's very hard to build any diet that works for everyone. But that doesn't stop people from trying.
As long as you get enough protein and fat. It's a lot harder to get those sources of protein and fat when you exclude meat (do-able of course but you're a lot more restricted)
He has a good, larger point but this article is plagued with those little, annoying inaccuracies and misprepresentations which, for me at least, completely ruin it.

> Here is what we know from a scientific point of view: There is no amount of wood smoke that is good to breathe.

There is no way to make a value judgement "from a scientific point of view." This is just the first from a collection of his moral convictions (we should live as long as possible, affecting our neighbours as little as possible). Nothing particularly wrong with having those but why dress them up in science?

> many other things are just as natural—such as dying at the ripe old age of thirty.

People may have on average had life expectancies in the 30 years range but that was because of child and infant mortality. Adults weren't dropping dead at 30.

Ethical reasons are enough.

That would be true if FPGAs were just arrays of undifferentiated transistors, but that's far from reality. FPGAs have DSP blocks, embedded memories, and other hardware elements that make a big difference in how they are programmed. It's not ridiculous to postulate that a hypothetical order-of-magnitude-better FPGA programming environment might benefit from or require hardware changes.
Genetic similarity is more precise than a generic toolset. We can tell relationships based on how similar their genes are (assuming you don't deny paternity tests). Genetic evaluation tells us that dogs are 100% descendant from wolves, not wolves and coyotes like previously thought. Genes also tell us that we are distant cousins to chimps. Genes are passed on through descendants and you can trace genes back through their family tree.

Animals on islands are completely unique. That's because they've been cut off from the mainland for millions of years and evolved completely differently. 100% of the mammals native to Australia are marsupials (excluding bats which can fly), and 100% of all marsupials are native to Australia, evolution took a different branch there. Galapagos and Madagascar also have animals that are very different, but they are most similar to the animals closest the island, and those animals are most similar to the animals geographically close to them.

Yes, the fossil record is incomplete (as we should expect), but it completely supports evolution. If you want to disprove evolution, find a single mammal fossil below the Devonean layer. Find a single human fossil that is 10 million+ years old. Why do we see the progression in the fossil record at all? Why are there no vertebrates beyond a certain layer?

Macro-evolution is what happens when micro-evolution has millions of years. They aren't as distinctly different as you seem to think.
Sounds like a good meal, I regularly eat those foods. When I was losing the most weight, for dinner sometimes I was eating 500g fried mince meat, covered in about 100-200g of cheese. Very filling lol! Diet food can be delicious and grimy.
'How much suffering am I going to reduce from a low carb vegan diet?'

I don't know.

'How well does this diet work for someone like me who needs 3400 calories to build muscle?'

Well.

'Unethical is a strange term of eating animal products.'

I don't find it strange to call the slaughter of animals and mistreatment of animals unethical.
Wow at the low-carb comments. Way to reject a dogma with another dogma.

I have a daily intake of 400g of carbohydrates. According to you I'd be overwheight and dying of diabetes, cancer, metabolic syndrome and whatnot.

Exercise daily, provide adequate protein intake and watch out the calories. That's it. No need to blame food but yourselves.
Ah, didn't see that since I'm actually at the event. But, tchat.io is actually better than the Twitter widget on that page. It updates in real-time, and if you sign-in you can tweet, reply, and quote in-page without opening a new window.
By "Fat that you eat can be converted into energy" I meant that just because you eat fat doesn't mean it's going right to your belly or hips.

And a lot of people are terrified of consuming 5 grams of fat, but think nothing of consuming 400 carbs in the form of bread, pasta, and sugar. I'm advocating an approach based on whole foods, less sugar, carbs only from wholesome sources like oatmeal and whole grains. I'm just trying to say people focus too much on fat.
It's easy to get enough protein and fat on a vegan diet.

We're still in the beginning. Removing the "witnessing the carnage" part could still be accomplished one day.

Yep, I grew up without a fireplace too. I have no problem giving it up.

Now, if you made a similar case for computers, I would be in a different spot.
I think it's actually different for different people. My understanding is that someone with a high body fat percent can sustain quite a bit of an exercise regimen for a while with low carbs, consuming their fat for energy. But eventually as their body fat percent comes down, they'll need to supplement their diet with carbs to maintain their energy level for the same exercise.

The P90X diet program is based on this idea, with 3 phases of the diet with very low carbs in the first phase, medium carbs in the second phase, and more carbs in the third phase.

So maybe you're both right...
