Well, my company Drifty (http://drifty.com/) was largely that (we are 6 people now), though I don't use the term lifestyle business. Not that I don't think it's cool, but it doesn't fit what I want out of the company (I'm addicted to growth).

It's not really about just being a lifestyle business though. The point is that there is so much opportunity out there right now that you can just be a few people, with no outside capital and make way more than $20k/mo. I would think followgen was one example of that. I'd be surprised if they weren't doing way more than $20k by the time they shut down the v1 service.

Even if you want to go it alone, this guy is going to making way more than $20k a month soon, if I guess right: https://www.baremetrics.io/

The Carbohydrate Hypothesis of Obesity: a Critical Examination:

http://wholehealthsource.blogspot.com/2011/08/carbohydrate-h...

Basically debunks the carbohydrate hypothesis:

"I hope you can see by now that the carbohydrate hypothesis of obesity is not only incorrect on a number of levels, but it may even be backward. The reason why obesity and metabolism researchers don't typically subscribe to this idea is that it is contradicted by a large body of evidence from multiple fields. I understand that people like ideas that "challenge conventional wisdom", but the fact is that obesity is a complex state and it will not be shoehorned into simplistic hypotheses."
Obviously that's not what they're saying.

> Meat and fish rich in fat, along with nuts and olive oils, should form a large part of a healthy diet, while the consumption of pasta, potatoes, and white bread should be reduced.

Key word: reduced.

To be fair, the article never says you can eat 10,000 calories and lose weight.

I know a lot of people think low-fat = healthy, and that fat makes you fat, which isn't really the case.

This article just seems to be confirming that "simple carbs" should be moderated, which is commonly suggested in health and fitness books.
They most certainly would not have to 'borrow it from China'. If for some reason they wanted to do this, they would just have to sell some securities, most of which would be bought by U.S citizens, the main holders of U.S. Government debt.
Of course. Most icons packs include trademarks and servicemarks of companies without worrying about the legal implications. I'm a little paranoid of legal quagmires and that's why I didn't include any of them in my Clear icon pack http://appzgear.com/products/clear-icons.htm The understanding is that anybody who wants to use the trademarks can do so by downloading them directly from the companies' websites.
This is silly, you are using an extreme exaggeration and saying that the article is wrong. Those who cut carbs and and continue to eat a moderate amount of carbs while keeping their calories in check will lose weight.

They will lose weight faster than those who continue to eat carbs. I don't think it's even an argument anymore that cutting carbs helps to lose weight. By saying "eat food, not too much, mostly plants" you are agreeing with less carbs..?
Javascript... FOR SCIENCE
My company does the open-office thing really well. The building we're in used to basically be all offices so everyone has an "office", but most of us share a room with someone else. This leads to "just enough" exposure, for me, to other people while still leaving me time to get work done. Rarely are people coming into my office to talk about things that don't pertain to me. When that does happen, I happily put on headphones. There's also a large common area with couches and bean bag chairs you can sit on, if you want a larger place to work, and we have a whole wall of ideapaint if we need to do a big meeting of some kind.

This is in sharp contrast to my last job, a fully open office where it was pretty much one gigantic room and everyone was LOUDLY talking over one another. Pretty much had to have the headphones on the whole day just so people wouldn't bother me. I'd even have them on without playing music just to signal to people not to come around...that's how annoying it was. It was truly interruption-driven development at that place.
I'd love to hear from this audience what parts of our architectures would be most interesting to put together technical posts about first.
An Opinion Piece On A Controversial Topic
When people ask me about this, I like to start off by telling them that of the three macronutrients, carbs, protein and fat, only carbs are non-essential. We literally can't live without fat and protein, but we would do just fine with out carbs.

Most people don't know that carbs are not required to live. We've been sold a bill of goods on carbs and it's been hurting us for 2 decades.

And further, there are certain people who should be no where near carbs.

* Diabetics and pre-diabetics

* cancer patients

* the obese

* people who don't workout

Carbs aren't evil, they should just be used strategically. Namely, to gain weight. Bodybuilders and powerlifters have known this forever. To gain weight, eat everything but mostly carbs. To lose weight, keep protein high, fill the rest of your calories with fat and limit the carbs.
I think it's just a marvelous pun!

Thanks for the picnic idea. It's not fair on my part to assume entirely that she would pay on her own, but I would not take her out to an expensive restaurant on that assumption alone. She was capable of paying and threw a fit, I left.

However you seem to act on your own assumptions, so save your judgement for when it matters.
Doing some personal research a while back revealed to me that diet studies in general have ridiculously low standards. The vast, vast majority of them are volunteer, self-journaled data based that would be laughed out of any other scientific context.

Controlled group studies are almost entirely non-existent and are typically limited to very specific conditions and goals, such as diets for epileptics.

I hope at some point we'll sit down and do a proper broad study on different diets where all meals are controlled for x amount of time and get a range of data that you could further divide and conquer and figure such a crucial part of our existence out.
I don't think the package manager matters to be honest.

Your statement betrays a complete ignorance of the complexity of metabolic pathways and exactly how, on a biochemical level, the process of lipogenesis is initiated. Even if you don't plan on doing the high fat, low carb thing, I highly recommend reading The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living by Drs Phinney and Volek - you'll learn about how carbohydrates in any form are a major metabolic challenge for most people and how fatty acid metabolism works. If you want science, read that book.

Seems that the fracfocus list is incomplete.

Looking at Haliburton's own listen of chemicals in their CleanStim fluid, I see maltodextrin listed but it isn't listed on fracfocus. I'm not enough of a chemical engineer to say if there is another name for maltodextrin that is listed, but I didn't find any hits for "mal," "dext" or "trin" either.

pfSense is awesome. It won't help a lot with this specific problem (without a lot of manual work). But it's still a great solution. I've been using its multi-WAN capabilities on a Soekris box for a few years now.
I have long suspected this to be the case. I have observed the association of obesity with "impoverished" Americans. Think about the kinds of food poor people buy. Macaroni, Ramen noodles, bread, soda, McDonald's (fries, bread), candy, cereal, etc.

I also suspect that lower proportions of protein and nutrients play a role in carbs not being handled well by the body.

Turns out it's food that leads to obesity: http://examine.com/faq/what-should-i-eat-for-weight-loss.htm...
Here are a couple of things the article says:

An influential Swedish health organisation has recommended a diet that is low in carbohydrates but not low in fat for people who are overweight or obese or have diabetes.

...

“...When all recent scientific studies are lined up, the result is indisputable: our deep seated fear of fat is completely unfounded. You don’t get fat from fatty foods,” Nyström said.

Those are both pretty solid endorsements for eating A LOT of fat/fatty foods. If they meant "A diet consisting of a calorie count appropriate for your body size should have a higher proportion of fats to carbs to make your target weight loss more efficient." But they didn't. They simply said/implied 'don't eat carbs but don't worry about how much fat you take in'.

Pollens advice is good and common sense.

However seems people are really bad understanding what's healthy and following common sense when it comes to eating. Many people have grown up with that butter is unhealthy and vegetable oils or cereal are healthy.

Also if you eat lots of carbohydrates you're more likely to feel hunger and loss of blood sugar every two hours, and you eat more. When you eat mostly plants, meat and fat, you feel satisfied longer and don't eat extra snacks, calories or other things, which makes eating sane amounts of food and calories easier.

I don't think the obesity or health problems are completely going away by changing the macronutrient ratio but probably anything is better than high-carb & low-fat advice. In the end people need to learn moderate and balance their diet.

Practically all of the symbolic computation done by Mathics uses Sympy. It depends what your interests are. If you're interested in Symbolic computation I'd suggest Sympy. It's a really nice pure python package and it's easy to get started.

If you're familiar with / interested in Mathematica, I'd suggest helping Mathics out. The Mathematica language is massive, and there's heaps of low hanging fruit left in Mathics.

"So I could eat 10,000 calories of fat per day..."

Try it. No carbs, just fat & protein, 10,000 calories.

Seriously, try it. Just one day. Won't hurt you.

It is possible to consume 10,000 calories of carbs in a day. Short of physically stuffing it in, you will find it effectively impossible to eat 10,000 calories of fat and protein. You'll probably find it a challenge to go beyond 3,000. (Though if you switch to a high-fat, high-protein diet you might manage in the first couple of days before your body adjusts fully. And I'm assuming you're average; a large man might get 4K, but again, that'll be a challenge.)

Calories are not fungible. And once you accept that, it's frankly hard to look at the evidence, the biochemistry and how the hormones work, and not end up fingering carbs as the source of the obesity epidemic, not fat.

You may find it interesting to note that carbs all come from plants. (But not all plants, of course.)

I worked in a hybrid environment at Apple (we had this office / common area setup in Infinite Loop). It was a great working environment, and I got a lot done. You could leave your door open and join in the conversation, or close your door and shut out the world for a while.

I work in an open space plan at Valve now, and it's pretty decent. The thing that makes it decent is that desks are mobile; there is no assigned space (want an office? find an empty one and move in) so you can very easily choose who to work next to. This cuts down a great deal on interruptions caused by people interrupting the people /next/ to you, which I found was the actual source of randomization in most cubical environments.

Also, stuffing more than a few dozen people into a shared area is probably bad. Don't do that.
Funding is overrated.
It's astonishing how much "responsive design" gets thrown around as a buzzword...however, unlike a lot of buzzwords, "responsive design" actually means something

Unfortunately, it is one of those technical terms that is now so widely misused by people who don't know what it originally meant that it is becoming diluted to the point of uselessness. The original principles of responsive design as outlined by Marcotte are one, but only one, useful set of tools for adapting web sites/apps to support users with different devices.

These days, any web site whose CSS says @media somewhere is getting described as "responsive", which makes it difficult to have intelligent conversations about alternative strategies, such as those that don't use flexible grids or techniques for adapting media other than static images to different viewing/listening situations.

What Was On Alleged Silk Road Boss' Laptop At The Moment of His Arrest
As someone who struggled to lose weight for about 1 year, but after that was able to defeat the extra 35+ pounds gained after marriage, I concur that the key thing I've almost completely removed from my diet was carbs & sugar. The weight disappeared. I purposely seek out whole milk, cream on top, and eat a bowl of Erewhon organic raisin bran[1] pretty much nightly. Simply avoid rice, bread, pastas & sugar(especially corn syrup). Now I don't wanna get into a big ol' argument about corn syrup vs. regular sugar, but I don't gain weight anywhere near as fast if I have an occasional japanese snack[2], versus a western candies such as the typical items at a 7-eleven[3]. Authentic Japanese snacks never seem to contain corn syrup, afaik.

The issue people take is that when people talk about this they frequently make it sound like carbs are what make cause obesity (eg the title of this post). However it's not that carbs cause obesity it's that carbs allow you to easily consume lots of calories and excess calories cause obesity.

It's funny because most of the "carbs are bad" and "carbs are fine" people agree that in reality it's calories that make you fat. For some reason when they talk to each other that point gets lost and it turns into two people talking past each other who agree in actuality.

It's worth quoting the introduction to give context to that conclusion:

"I'd like to begin by emphasizing that carbohydrate restriction has helped many people lose body fat and improve their metabolic health. Although it doesn't work for everyone, there is no doubt that carbohydrate restriction causes fat loss in many, perhaps even most obese people. For a subset of people, the results can be very impressive. I consider that to be a fact at this point, but that's not what I'll be discussing here.

What I want to discuss is a hypothesis. It's the idea, championed by Gary Taubes, that carbohydrate (particularly refined carbohydrate) is the primary cause of common obesity due to its ability to elevate insulin, thereby causing increased fat storage in fat cells."

Aside: if I only had time to follow one blog on nutrition, it would be Whole Health Source.
I really liked this. Although I prefer to work with Ember.js, Emblem and EmberScript (as the latter addresses some of Ember's syntactical faults), Angular seems very interesting when you view it as more of a toolset for building your own framework than a "complete" framework in and of itself.

When you bring the entire Ember toolchain into the mix, outside of the already-complete framework, it begins to smooth Ember's rough edges in development. It's just the same with Rails, I'm a Ruby developer and we're used to dealing with dependencies already, so it's not really a huge leap outside the box for us to be using tools that will compile down to HTML/CSS/JavaScript to build the frontend to a Rails backend API application.

I still understand Angular as a toolchain/framework/whatever for people who do not understand JS to the point where they want to begin extending it. Angular is a "safe zone", something that frankly JavaScript as a language (without Ember's additions to the object model and such) needs right now. When you write apps in Ember, I feel like a deeper understanding of how JS is working is necessary before you begin to abstract that portion away. Is this still a correct assumption to have? I'm not trying to insult anyone, frankly JS is a pretty screwed up language so I feel like it's a natural tendency to want to just get what you need out of it quickly and safely and then move on to more fun projects. In my opinion, it's simply a different way of doing things, not better and not worse.
I would bet that the highly-blocking in-canal earbuds are actually less damaging than cheap ones that sit on top of your ear. Reason being that without any external noise, you can turn the level down on the music and get the same perceptual loudness.

I know for a fact that when I got some nice etymotic earbuds (-20dB of outside sound), I was able to turn the level down from my average of about 70%, to more like 40-50% on my ipod.
