fulmato, you were hellbanned after your first comment saying "this is bs". Not a great comment, but hellbanning for a single comment is quite extreme. Posting your useful comment here:

It's a great resource for a more scientific explanation of what happens to the metabolism when keto-adapted and on the effects of carbohydrates and more importantly insulin.
Less and less needed from wrapper Apps these days.
It may be #2 perpetually in many cases because the boss will not listen when you insist it's important. For many it then starts slipping down the list, as what is best for the company is often not best for the employee: For many it becomes a reasonable (for them personally) risk to take to bet that they'll do better from keeping the boss satisfied now rather than spend time on backups to avoid a major disaster after they've left. And yes, that means gambling that the major disaster won't hit while you're still there.

I'm not saying this is how it should be, but it is how it often becomes if the sysadmin or whomever taking on those responsibilities don't report to someone who also see the data integrity as priority #1 for the sysadmin.

I've worked in places where the CEO's e-mail client configuration is the #1 priority for the guy that should have been focusing on server backups, for example, and where prioritising the backups would be a bad career move for the person in question.

(Yes, that is a huge warning sign that it's best to find a different job)
Just change of company, you're in the wrong place.
How Cloud Can Be The Safest Place To Store Your Data
In some ways it is skipping breakfast.

As vidarh mentionned, you also have to take into accounts macros (carbs/fat/proteins split) and having to eat 3500kcal in 2 meals can be tough sometimes (in the weekend i often do a 6h or so).

I've eaten that way pretty much all my life so it was easy for me to adapt (it mainly consisted of more proteins and alternating more carbs on workout days/more fat on rest days).

I made a quick calculator the other day if you want to see how it would look like http://vincent.is/working-on/leangains (github https://github.com/Keats/kCalculator if any angularjs dev want to review some code of an angular newbie!)
This is a bit of an unfair request, but it would be interesting to have you break down the engineering groups you think exist at Twitter and estimate their size.
Three main approaches:

1) The moral/ethical/etc. concerns. I might be different from a lot of HN people, and maybe similar to your friends, in that I'm pro the foreign military/intelligence spying, but I'm anti the normal-people and service-provider spying (US or domestic). Everyone has to make their own decision there, and I personally think this is the worst argument to make, since people will either fully agree or won't ever agree.

2) Practical/personal concerns. NSA is a closed community. If you work there, there's some sharing internally, but you can't participate in the outside community. Back when NSA was the only game in town for crypto, sure, but they're certainly not the only game in computing, development, or even in exploits. Ghettoes suck. It's not good for your professional development.

3) Negative-sum/emotional. Basically, NSA is preventing bad stuff from happening by doing bad things. Working with that for your whole career is kind of shitty and depressing, and you end up locked into that forever due to #1 and #2.

I've done DOD/USG work, and actually wanted to go ROTC and NSA in college, but ended up not doing so because of these reasons (and that under Clinton, and post-cold-war, NSA/USM/USG seemed to be moving toward irrelevancy; they were technically incompetent, too. I couldn't predict 9/11.)
Pretty certain that he'd at least be wary of the man who's practised 100 kicks 100 times each. A singular focus can create myopic vision
It's what always kept me away from these systems. So many of them are hopelessly over-engineered to the point where it's often easier to write custom solutions.
Also, you've inverted my chain of causality.

I don't claim that in order to work at <set A of companies> you should do open source. I only claim that doing open source will help you get a job at <set B of companies>. Those two sets are not the same.
Not op - My experience is that all grains (corn, rice, wheat) make me bloated and puffy, regardless of caloric content. Wheat is by far the worst offender, also making my breath shorter about 30-60 minutes after eating, lasting a couple of hours, and corn not having an immediately noticeable effect, but causing bloating that will stay for days.

Not celiac, and not anything life threatening, but definitely a huge effect. After dropping wheat, I lost 30 lbs in one month, and it stayed off for 18 month without wheat (but some came on again after a week of eating mostly corn products - which is how I discovered that corn is evil too)

The best way to determine if this is relevant to you is not to read books or articles or consult with a doctor: rather, take a week or two off grains (much harder than it sounds - wheat and corn are used as fillers in many products), and then adding them sporadically and keeping a journal (what and when you ate each day; and whether you felt good/bad the next hour/day)

Not easy, but well worth it and not expensive.
Perhaps, but I suspect the regret is around where they focused their effort rather than how much of it.
This is not really a new thing. In India, fasting is a like a culture. More common with females though. Some of them fast like once every week. There are festivals which are based around fasting. Like Karvachauth, in which girls fast for their husbands etc (we are not very feminist yet). There are festivals during which people fast for straight 2-10 days! (chath, durga puja, somwari etc).

Even in Islam, during ramzaan people fast everyday for 30 days . They eat before dawn break and eat again after dusk.

But how much of not achieving something worthwhile is about how hard we work and how much about what we choose to work on?
Do they, really? Unless it's "so world changing people will remember me long after I'm gone" kind of accomplishment, I doubt it.

I think it was a combination of issues:

1) If I eat a carb rich meal, I will happily go for a nap. Anecdotal evidence, had spaghetti carbonara with garlic bread at the weekend. Fell asleep watching a film for the first time in about a year. I can create the same effect with potato or rice. I don't like it. It wastes my time.

2) After eating a lot of bread I can feel extremely bloated and uncomfortable. I potentially have a gluten intolerance however I find the same when eating a lot of sugar. It could be yeast related. Through experimentation I've found that the white 'gacky' sliced bread is particularly bad.

3) I don't think we are designed to eat modern wheat. I switched from beer (ale) to cider and find I have no morning after 'bowel' effects.

4) I avoid sourdough bread. Who am I kidding. Best bread in the world. My crack cocaine. Thankfully there are some awesome artisan bakers in Bath, UK. However when I buy a loaf, I commit to a 20+ mile cycle ride.

5) If I eat a carb rich meal, I will get hungry quicker. I can feel 'fuller' for longer by avoiding carbs. It makes me avoid snacks.

A lot of the above is about feeling mentally alert at work/home. In the winter it means I cook up big pots of high protein stew, freeze them and take them to work and zap them in the microwave. Summer is all about big boxes of salads, heavy on the meat/cheese/dressing.

At work we have lunchtime Dirty Burger Wednesdays where we grab nasty takeaway food :) Like I said it's not about being religious about not eating wheat, just generally trying to minimise intake. I know what a high carb diet makes me feel like.

One proviso. I cycle to work. The morning is almost a free wheel 2.5 mile down hill ride. The evening is a 2.5 mile climb. It used to be a real bitch. Now only the last 0.5 mile is a bit nasty.
It's rather simple, I think. An unfinished, but still very entertaining game will be better than a beautifully polished boring game. The "finished parts" can out-weigh in entertainment an entire competing game.
Yep. You can do both but 99% of the time if a business has to choose it will choose money.

The problem is that if quantum computers are viable in 20-30 years, then we need to start using quantum-resistant algorithms today.

The NSA has already admitted that they are especially holding on to encrypted data for longer periods of time (and after the Utah data center, probably forever). In 20 years time they can start decrypting all that data with a quantum computer.

Think about it. Today's 20 year olds, could be tomorrow's 40-50 year old politicians. All sort of juicy data could be abused then to discredit, or worse, blackmail those politicians.

Right now the best weapon against it seem lattice-based encryption, so we should start working on it, so we can start using lattice-based cryptosystems within 5 years, which is a pretty small amount of time to verify this type of encryption and make it very usable, but I don't think we can afford more than that.

Homomorphic encryption using lattices is something companies like Google should already be researching and trying to implement, if they really care about user privacy (and they should, because I predict an increasingly hostile movement towards Google's data mining in the future, and they need to take steps to "fix" all the privacy invasions they are currently doing with their data mining).

Finland is nearly completely fitted with Abloy rotating disk locks for anything worth locking down, and this was a nerdly disappointment when I was a teenager and got interested in how to pick locks. There weren't meaningful, pickable locks to play with.

The older Abloy locks from 60's/70's can apparently be picked if you're really skillful but it takes a lot of time and effort, and this was never common knowledge.

I read about hackers who were picking locks in the USA, or just outside of Scandinavia, and how pin tumbler locks work, and realized that those would indeed be plausibly pickable but I never had access to them in practice. I think probably could've found some if I really, really wanted to but nobody was using them for anything serious so learning to pick something considered as toy locks wasn't very motivating.
It probably varies from person to person. I read all the blog from start to finish, although usually I don't read long texts, or read the start, then somewhere in the middle and maybe see what's in the end. So for the inpatient type like me it seems to work.
Note that in ramadaan they also don't drink any water during the day; and many who can afford to, flip their schedule to sleep through the day so they can eat at night.

Also, according to superfreakonomics, this wreaks havoc on gestating babies. Seems like all harm and no benefit fasting (which, perhaps is the idea - Jewish fasting on Yom Kippur is specifically spoused to be a soul-torture/soul-searching experience - both translations are valid - although it is often not experienced as either)

I prefer the fax method of buying a car, or eBay.
The fax method is anonymous and you save thousands.
eBay only for used cars, sleepers , et cetera.
I've saved so much money and even have flipped ones that were not my style using these methods. The only reason to go to a dealer is to talk to the mechanics.

Can't wait to listen to this though.
Please please do this. It's what I did. If you find similar affects, this can be life changing in a very very beneficial way.
The real disruption is occurring in the MVNO space. The things the major telcos are doing pale in comparison.

For instance, our family and parents share 5 phone on 1 plan on Ting. There is a flat $6 monthly fee per device, and our charges are based simply on the amount of minutes and data we use. The rates are cheap (about $0.02 per minute for voice calls). You can use almost whatever Sprint-compatible device you want (we use some cheap Nexus S phones we bought used from a reseller) and can add, remove, or swap devices at anytime through their online interface. If your outside of Sprint's network, voice calls will roam over Verizon's network at no extra cost. You are free to do whatever you want on Wi-Fi at no cost, and there if no charge for tethering, either.

Their customer support has been superb. We've called them a couple of times when we had some issues activating a new device (mostly my mistakes) and someone knowledgeable picked up the phone immediately. No waiting, no transferring between CSRs.

Similar innovations are occurring with other MVNOs like Republic Wireless. Why people are sticking with the majors I don't understand.
That thought has crossed my mind, but I think the advantage of being well connected might not be enough.

A scenario: Imagine a powerful politician being approached by some shady guy in a trenchcoat who does not officially work for anyone. Shady guy produces some kind of material that, at best, is deeply embarrassing and personally damaging, and at worst, embroils said politician in a scandal that would cause professional damage, possibly even result in legal issues that this politician's power isn't enough to withstand.

Considering such a scandal is there to expose, said politician is probably not a paragon of virtue. Would this politician not bend to will of the shady guy? Even if he knew that shady guy is NSA, he could probably not prove it and exposing this knowledge would cause the damaging material to do it's job and only cast suspicion on the NSA.

I think the reason why the NSA could easily use information to blackmail politicians is that secrets are by definition kept hidden to as few people as possible. As such, these collectively powerful individuals can still be privately vulnerable, and are likely to opt for keeping their secrets over fighting some 'faceless' organization.
Suicide is always an unreasonable decision, unless you face something which is literally worse than death.

A lifetime in prison is not worse than death. At least you can still talk to your family. You can acquire new skills. There is the chance you get paroled early. Etc, etc.

He didn't say everyone was responsible. But even if we were it would not follow that no one is since responsibility is not something that depends on others not having any.
If they had the same films available to stream as they do to get on DvD, I'd pay for netflix.

I cancelled the free trial in about 30 minutes for this reason. I still think netflix owns for series, but I didn't need it for that.
I have, I should've mentioned that as an option. But I find it much easier to think in Scala than in an SQL-like language.
Here's a good article on the "54 attacks" line, which was actually cited in the "likely unconstitutional" ruling: http://www.propublica.org/article/claim-on-attacks-thwarted-...

The Obama 100%/100% thing is correct but privacy is a right. The line is not an excuse to take my privacy away without asking me. You can't drop my percentage without giving me opportunity to dissent or without my knowing about it. To do this is to make decisions about me and for me that reduce my power, it means i'm not free and becoming less free.
Possibly it's not about the baked-in gameplay anymore. But both day-z and minecraft have rich metagames (is metagameplay a word?) that have developed as a result of both the restrictions and freedoms given to the players.

That's one of the reasons that some of the commenters here "don't get it". They've looked for gameplay, and found it lacking, whereas what they should have been doing is creating their own games within the worlds provided.

Chef smells over engineered from the get go. Try salt stack, or ansible. I've settled with Salt, but I believe they are both equally good solutions. Puppet is also OK, even if we moved away from it (towards Salt) because of poor performance (on a deployment of about 100 physical servers plus the VMs running on top of them).

Speaking of history... I notice a great deal of arm-chair anger all around me combined with a strong lack of faith that anything can change. Most of my friends, even those with some political engagement, consider things like protests (peaceful or otherwise) completely ineffective and keep any kind of moral change limited to their personal lives. Do you have an idea of how common this kind of situation has been in the past? Is it a natural step in a growing anger, or is our situation somewhat special?

Slavoj Zizek seems to mention this issue in some form or other quite often. He argues, as far as I understand, that a big difference between 'us' and previous generations is that we seem to both disapprove and accept the status quo to an unprecedented degree. I've also heard others claim that we are a 'silent generation' that just kind of tries to be different in the private sphere, and leave it at that.

I don't know if this is true, but I do know we often consider our situation unique when even a cursory look at history shows that it isn't.
Look at e.g. Instagram or imgur or reddit or HN for a lean team. It's hard to compare without intimate knowledge of what either team faces, but without considering alternatives, many things that shouldn't look plausible actually do, e.g. The $5,000 hammers the army supposedly bought, the (incorrect, but oft repeated) space pen story, or the clusterfuck that is US healthcare.
Chipotle for lunch

How did you do Chipotle? I'm guessing you just went with beans / meat / vegetables and skipped the rice and tortilla?
I eat some fruit in moderation, but avoid juices and carbonated drinks which use high-fructose corn syrup.

IIRC Fructose is processed in a similar way to the way alcohol is processed in your system. It's not an energy source that can be used by your body without processing. I also believe it's one of those energy types that is readily stored as fat.
After I stopped, and started eating regularly again, I found nothing different at all. One of the side effects, is that you're really susceptible to alcohol. One beer, and I'd be really feeling it. Whereas before, I could drink 3 without really noticing. After I stopped, my tolerance was still pretty low, though it's fine now. I don't know if the low tolerance afterwards could be the diet specifically, or just whether I'd not really drank in 4 months.

I stopped because it was just too awkward. Living with my girlfriend, it was annoying that we had to cook separately (she only believes in low calorie, zombie cardio 5 days a week). We could only go out to dinner at certain places, which got a bit tedious. And to be honest, I'd done pretty well, and was back to the sort of weight I wanted to be at. The toss up between the cost/awkwardness, and the amount of weight I still had to lose, it wasn't worth the hassle.

Though, if I ever need to lose weight again (hopefully never), I wouldn't even dream of anything else.
I met a guy who used to check fire extinguishers for a living. Frequently in places that weren't staffed. Rather than wait, he said he'd sometimes just pick the lock (with prior permission), check the extinguisher and go on his way.

As some others have noted, white flour products and other high-carb, high glycemic-index foods tend to lead to hunger in the short term and lethargy ('food coma').

Anecdotally, I've noticed that if I eat a small breakfast high in protein - e.g. 3 eggs - then I don't get hungry for several hours. If I eat a large breakfast high in carbs - e.g. pancakes or waffles - then I am hungry much sooner.
Hi Randall,

If you need any help in Europe then please let me know. I've got a great deal of experience in this area.

Same in Australia - we also have a maximum 38 hour work week for full time employees (the employee can choose to work reasonable overtime but if an employer was found to be forcing them to, there are penalties).

That, and the lack of an affordable healthcare system (I pay less than $1000 a year for private health insurance but if I couldn't afford that I could get healthcare free of charge - the main difference is longer waits for elective surgery) mean that working in the US really isn't that appealing despite the startup scene being more exciting.
They have a pretty decent nutritional guide[1] on their website, my usual was the salad bowl (big lettuce), no salad dressing, no rice, no beans, fajita veggies, double meat steak + barbacoa, the green salsa (has the fewest net carbs), sour cream, cheese, guac. That leaves you with this: http://imgur.com/WZBEczv, 14g net carbs (net carbs = carbs - fiber). My target was <30g per day. Breakfast gave almost 0, dinner would be 10-15g.
