Looking at "animal protein" as a broad category is dumb. The interesting health questions are specifically about muscle meat. Eating a lot of muscle meat, to the exclusion of organ meat and collagen and dairy protein, probably provides too much iron and too much tryptophan in the amino acid profile.

Furthermore, you can't just talk about "meat". The distinction between fish, pork, chicken, and ruminants matters. The question of quality matters enormously. Are we talking about really cheap meat fed on moldy corn slop and handled improperly after slaughter (aged, dyed, pumped up with water and chemicals), or totally fresh grass fed beef?

Op is an essay, which is a written passage seeking to make a point through convincing prose. Its not a research paper, nor a documentary. Its emotional pleas to think of things the author's way.

Its not very convincing, except to those already convinced. It compiles trite phrases you can remember and regurgitate at a cocktail party or wherever (do they even still have cocktail parties?) and sound smart. If you like to rant, then here's plenty of material for you.

But reading it, as a person neutral to cryptocurrency, I'm unconvinced, even slightly. The guy doesn't like bitcoin, I get that. But the arguments are so tangential (its slower than cash in person? Until I get an app I guess) I smell a rat: he's got nuthin.

If I wanted to criticize cryptocurrency with hard facts, I'd use this one: it burns energy (and carbon credits) for imaginary points. I'd call it cynical - burn the ecosphere because you don't trust anybody to be an issuing agent for your currency. I've never heard that one promoted in an essay, and I'd like to.

I'm not sure it's a photo she or Newsweek took. If this was a print article there would be a photo credit. Maybe she found it somewhere?

In the article she says she only saw him once with the cops, and then had a very very short discussion with her when cops were present.

If the photo implies (as it did to me and apparently you) that he consented to an interview he didn't actually consent to, that's misleading journalism.
A determined attacker (the kind that needs worrying about) would find Satoshi even if Newsweek hadn't posted a photo of the house or license plate in their article.

"Researchers doing observational studies have much the same problem. They try to think of all the differences between two large populations of subjects so that they can statistically negate them so that only the observation in question – the vitamin C level in the example above – is different between the groups. Problem is they can never possibly think of all the differences between the groups. As a consequence, they never have a perfect study with exactly the same number, sex, age, lifestyle, etc. on both sides with the only difference being the study parameter. And so they don’t really ever prove anything. In fact, we would all probably be a lot better off if all the researchers doing observational studies had followed my lead and fallen asleep mid study."
This is the reason many SEO companies have rebranded as content marketers recently.

Content marketing is a relatively easy sell, and it's almost the entirety of ongoing SEO work (as opposed to the technical improvements, which obviously you can't complete over and over again!).

Few businesses are interested in where the content comes from, the research that goes into setting it up, so it's content marketing for most of the larger companies. I like the broad skillset 'SEO' implies, though, so I thought I'd highlight that.

EDIT: Also I suspect that if you're on Hacker News, you'll be more likely to have a much more technical skillset that fetches a higher price in other niches than SEO. There is, of course, more to the world than marketing!

Hopefully the links and general tone get some people interested though.

This is what the Nakamoto family now has to worry about. It wasn't a random killing. There were at least 6 people arrested in connection with the murders. Apparently the robbers had people inside the bank who they were paying to alert them whenever someone withdrew large amounts of cash.

People get killed over money a lot. It's probably not paranoia. I would recommend you watch the video to understand the gruesome nature of what Nakamoto now has to live with.

Topic other than discussing the irresponsibility of "outing" a guy using the clever tricks of using his name and public records look ups.

> A libertarian, Nakamoto encouraged his daughter to be independent, start her own business and "not be under the government's thumb," she says. "He was very wary of the government, taxes and people in charge."

> What you don't know about him is that he's worked on classified stuff. His life was a complete blank for a while. You're not going to be able to get to him.

Growing up and living in the D.C. area, I'm constantly surprised at the paradox of the deeply conservative anti-federal government types who work for the government - directly or as a fed contractor. Who'll rattle off about privacy issues before hopping on the bus to their job working on an NSA contract at a Fed contractor...that sort of thing.

I've even pointed out point-blank that their salaries are paid for by the same taxes they rail against incessantly and are met with blank stares or wry grimaces before they launch into an extended soliloquy about "values" or personal responsibility or some such. I've even had folks in the military swear up and down that some military benefit program isn't a result of tax payer dollars but mysteriously appears out of some kind of pay differential sacrifice they've made instead of working in the private sector.

It's rather bizarre and I guess to Nakamoto's credit, he actually did something about it in a sense.

edit meta-response to the replies indicating that perhaps his close contact with the government is what motivated him to develop bitcoin, I think that's plausible. What we don't know is if he developed this philosophy before or after working with the government.

I'm curious though, in the general sense about people who have a fundamentally anti-government philosophy, then take roles supporting and building up the same government they clog their facebook feeds rallying against.
Why everyone should learn to program (not become programmers)
I used to play rock-paper-scissors with my child. Could win every time. You could see on his face his simple logic.

You can learn to take tests - I did that for the GRE, got a 99% but hadn't ever studied 2 of the area tests I took. There's a logic to test questions, you can learn it.

There was no understanding involved, I can assure you. Just a recognition of what is considered a 'fair' question, which lets you eliminate answers that are too convoluted.

Languages never get simpler as they age, and Scala is certainly proof of that rule.

If anything, advanced features that make up for good academic papers have priority over fixing bugs and streamlining the libraries.

Paul Phillips, a Typesafe cofounder, recently left the company and went on a tour explaining why he thought Scala was headed in the wrong direction:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4jh94gowim0
That isn't, strictly speaking, true. It's certainly his right to refuse to comment, appear on camera, accept interviews, etc., but it's also Newsweek's right to say what they want about his life and his work. As long as they aren't writing falsehoods and don't cross the line into harassment, they're free to publish.
He's not the first person with 400 million or more.

I guess he'll have to adjust to living like a millionaire/celebrity.

The owner of the company I work for has thirty times the money Satoshi allegedly has, and yes, he has a bodyguard at most times.

That said, I wish they'd protected his privacy more. It seems he didn't want to be outed.
Linode vs. Digital Ocean: WHY CAN'T I ADD CORES?
Had a lengthy debate with Linode over why I can't get more CPU core priority and RAM without buying storage and transfer I don't need. Now I'm left with a need for a more concurrency capable virtual machine provider.

Linode says they simply will not adapt right now, as a matter of choice to offer exactly the packages they currently have available. They claim their infrastructure is so premium and their customer service is so awesome I'll be sad if I go leave to get what I actually need. I'm already sad to be leaving on the customer service side.

I am considering Digital Ocean. I am wondering if anyone in the HackerNews world has a better provider with Pacific Coast based data centers who are concurrency friendly.

Is there an awesome provider of cores and RAM I'm overlooking, compared against Digital Ocean?

Right now, I'm just looking for a powerful dev environment with +8 cores and +8gb RAM, without sinking 600-1200 USD into a physical machine. If I like the provider, I'll move completely off Linode for production too.
On the other hand, the type system being very static and expressive, the compiler does the kind of work for which in other languages you'd need to run more specialized tools or to write more unit tests. When I'm doing time comparisons, I take into account the whole development workflow, that's why the compiler's speed doesn't bother me as is - I mean, what's slower, compiling code with Scala, or running unit tests in Ruby?

In Scala you get things like this:

scala> Option(3) match { case Some(nr) => println(nr) }
<console>:9: warning: match may not be exhaustive.
It would fail on the following input: None

Or like this:

val stillAMap: Map[String, String] = Map("hello" -> "world").map {
case (key, value) => (key, value + ", Alex")
}

val iterOfInt: Iterable[Int] = Map("hello" -> "world").map {
case (key, value) => value.length
}

And because immutable sequences are covariant, it has no problem in doing this (i.e. in Scala types usually have a natural flow, no need for explicit castings or shoving round pegs in square holes):

val iterOfAny: Iterable[Any] = iterOfInt

Actually, traits can be used as tags, so say you wanted to model the states of a state-machine, instead of having something like this, which is error prone:

trait Foo {
def isOperational: Boolean
def isDispatched: Boolean
}

object Available extends Foo {
val isOperational = true
val isDispatched = false
}

object RampUp extends Foo {
val isOperational = true
val isDispatched = true
}

object Fault extends Foo {
val isOperational = false
val isDispatched = false
}

// ...

You could do this:

trait Foo

trait IsOperational extends Foo
trait IsNotOperational extends Foo
trait IsDispatched extends Foo
trait IsNotDispatched extends Foo

object Available extends IsOperational with IsNotDispatched
object RampUp extends IsOperational with IsDispatched
object Fault extends IsNotOperational with IsNotDispatched
// ...

And then you could have a pattern matcher definition, for you know, convenience:

object IsDispatched {
def unapply(state: IsOperational) = state match {
case ref: IsDispatched => Some(ref)
case _ => None
}
}

Question: what would be the inferred return type of the above unapply function? That's right, it's Option[IsOperational with IsDispatched].

Basically Scala is the type of static language with which you can enforce correctness of the business logic with types. Yes, the compiler is slow, but it's slow because it does so much and IMHO, that's time well spent.

Now I also like dynamic languages and on the issue of static versus dynamic, I think David Pollak said it better than I could - static type systems work better if the shape of the data you're working with is well defined, whereas dynamic type systems work better if the shape of the data is not well defined. So usually people are on either side of this debate depending on what they are working on ;-)
I wonder if Leah McGrath Goodman would like photos of her home published and members of her family identified against her will? I wonder if she thought about that, or the man and his family's safety, before choosing to publish this information about him?

Reading the description of the man and recognizing the value he placed on privacy and anonymity, I'm genuinely sad for him. I also fear for his personal safety and that of his family for the reasons others have stated.
UX: The little details that makes CloudMagic search snappy
I just pin a tab in Firefox. Keeps me from compulsively checking my email, while still letting me know when new mail has arrived.
Haha, typical Internet analysis. The guy blogs about an experience in his life honestly and you come up with some characterization that he's not good at saying no to people, that he's not conflicted about where he wants to go (you know, complicated, like humans are, not simple black-and-white, like your straw man humoids are), and oh? the guy also has a neurosis, too? And irrational. Splendid. Can't you for once read a nicely written anecdote without trying to offer half-baked advice about it?

Is there a good definition of processed food anywhere? All the ones I've seen have been made by examples (eg. Processed foods like hotdogs, bologne, etc.). Is it any food that have anything added to them for preservation or enhancements (eg is oj enriched with vitamin D considered a processed food). Many articles are confusing and seem to make processed food to be wholey bad w/o really defining what makes it bad...
> What gets me is this piece comes across as very defensive. Why deride the man missing his elevator when he's on his phone (maybe he's not in the moment because he too is working on a problem) ? Why deride a hoodie at an office party? Why deride Dan for having a different social pattern than you ("Talks too much") especially when it's in line with his career?

Because he's human and he thinks like that and the article isn't self-censoring to appeal to everyone?
Their money can't be irretrievably sent across the world instantly. You'd have to hold them hostage for at least a few days, make them sell all their shares and other holdings, wait for those transactions (which may well have tanked some stocks, leading a dozen reporters to your hostage situation) to clear, wait for the money to get into the bank, wait for the bank to transfer it to another account, and hope that at no point in the process anyone gets suspicious that a billionaire is liquidating everything and sending it to Eastern Europe.
Yeah this lowers the bar to the level that any random person that is dumb enough to rob a bank or gas station could find the guy.
You can use Server-Sent Events with ELB already.
> "Dorian can just be paranoid," says Tokuo. "I cannot get through to him. I don't think he will answer any of these questions to his family truthfully."

What the hell, if many family members are so eager to forward questions from the press to him and spill anything they know, I can totally understand Satoshi doesn't answer them truthfully. I also feel very sorry for Satoshi's position in which he doesn't seem to have anyone to talk to truthfully :/

> Of course, none of this puts to rest the biggest question of all - the one that only Satoshi Nakamoto himself can answer: What has kept him from spending his hundreds of millions of dollars of Bitcoin

Isn't it obvious? It would destabilize the market and begin a huge frenzy to find out who he is, and he knows it. Now the latter is a moot point, but I can totally understand he doesn't want to backstab his brainchild.

Besides, who says he didn't mine other coins early on anonymously for his own use? Wasn't the point of Bitcoin that you can't know who's who? If he did this and got some money, he totally deserved it.
You're right, they really did not think about the consequences did they...
The use case is for marketplaces (and maybe crowdfunding sites). An escrow service is a means to increase trust for both the buyer and seller sides. Funds are paid up front but held in escrow until goods are effectively exchanged or services rendered.

I realize that it is a major feature and requires more than just code, but I'd love to see another major player in this space that isn't PayPal. Balanced Payments and MangoPay are great but they aren't household names (that customers are likely to recognize) like Stripe is fast becoming.

If there's a confounding variable, it's likely that it is affected by retirement. For instance, a high protein intake in someone who's fifty might signify junk-food lunches, whereas the same thing in a retired person might be a sign of a more affluent lifestyle in general.

To be honest I agree with you that there quite a few red flags about this article. However, short of Newsweek outright making everything up, isn't the lack of a denial in this instance tantamount to an admission?
