> Most cavemen didn't live to see 40,

Didn't they? Is that based on the median age, or the average? Because the average age tends to be skewed by infant mortality.

> , and there's the little thing called evolution, too.

The central argument is that our bodies haven't changed significantly in the time between "cavemen" and present day. So evolution is central to the argument of its usefulness. Whether it is correct that the evolutionary forces is relatively insignificant is, perhaps, up for debate.
Paleo Diet is not really a best name to the describe this diet. Better name would be "hunter-gatherer diet" but that's not too marketable.
The whole premise of this diet can be summarized as this:

- eat what you can kill

- eat what you can gather

- eat only stuff that can be eaten raw (that includes meat and fish)
Fruits and vegetables. Starchy roots are heavy on the carbs, and so are apples and strawberries. Primal allows dairy if you're not intolerant, and milk has lactose (a sugar).
As is common with articles that end with a question mark, the answer is by default a "No."
Those groups are horrible and dangerous but they exist only in their regional contexts and so are hardly relevant in the U.K. There are Muslims in the West that sympathize with them, but they are (a) in the minority, and (b) fools who couldn't organize themselves out of a wet paper bag. Get three of them together and the third forms a splinter group. Which is why the over-focus on them is sensationalist nonsense; you could find 'shocking' views similar to theirs by trawling local pubs.
"Now, should you eat mostly vegetables, a little fruit, lean protein and some healthy fats while skipping the processed foods and sugars? Yeah, but stop acting like you're getting back to something from the "cave days.""

Literally none of that is true, these are just old diet fads that have become folk knowledge.

People have managed to survive for thousands of years in the arctic circle eating nothing but fatty foods, people have survived in the fertile crescent for thousands of years eating nothing but cereals for thousands of years.

The human body can adapt to just about any sort of food.

What people nowhere have adapted to do is sit in a chair for 14 hours a day and not move.
Working conditions in FC's have been criticized in the past. Is there any consideration in the optimization process of minimizing human usage/energy, or is it just all "get as much stuff into a space as possible and then out the door as quickly as possible, however it needs to be done?"
This is the same principle that makes a knuckleball drop unpredictably and very, very difficult to control. The way that a great pitcher can control a baseball is amazing to watch.

My most recent purchase is a 900$ Bosch dishwasher that is saving me so much time (and time is money) and saving money indirectly because I am cooking more often at home as I don't find washing dishes to be taxing any more. Home cooked, all natural food is healthy in the long run. The sink is empty and it makes me feel less cluttered and more efficient. So it is a chain reaction and the effects are compounded. One thing leads to another. There is a 10000$ difference between a 500$ dishwasher and a 900$ dishwasher.
This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4tGaoSz14g) at 3:20 has a good summary of how the concept works in cricket. With a ball that is equally worn on both sides it is the seam (like the latex band) breaking up the air flow that causes the ball to curve the wrong way ('reverse swing' in cricket).

edit: and the position of the seam is obviously important in directing the force, which is why you will see this more often in football free kicks when the player can position the ball before taking the shot.

The banana needs a little more energy to produce more Vitamin A, so the plant will yield fewer bananas and these bananas will be more expensive.

While it is true the banana would use more energy, there is no evidence for lower crop yields.

The banana has to take the Iron from the soil, unless it’s a very rich Iron zone, so you need to use a fertilizer to replace the Iron. This also makes the bananas more expensive.

The gene they are using is from the soybean plant. Since there is a significant amount of iron in soil to begin with, I doubt fertilizer is required to supplement the soil with iron.
Pay attention to this if you have really nice bike(s),. They aren't going to be covered under your homeowners in the U.S.. Just like jewelry, expensive camera equipment, etc, you'll have to get a specific insurance rider to establish value, etc. and they'll charge you a nice premium for this.

It doesn't cease to amaze me how fast people dismiss the actual complexity of tasks they don't understand. As you pointed out, there is a lot going on that most people overlook when it comes to managing inventory.

I am in distribution, we have many interconnected systems to manage our inventory, whether it is in stores or distribution centers. Within each there are many places and item can and cannot go, whether because of size, weight, volatility, or toxicity.

Who processes are dedicated to having large volume items readily available to minimize trip times for stocking and fulfillment.

I am curious if Amazon relies on separate system for each location or centrally managed. There are benefits to both
As someone who actually runs a Minecraft server and has developed several mini games and around 50 plugins, I'd like to clarify a few things to people who aren't involved in Minecraft.

* Minecraft is pretty expensive to host. The top servers are paying tens of thousands a month in hosting. Only a few servers make enough to cover wages. Most just barely scrape by. DDOS protection is pretty much essential to any server over a certain size, which increases costs significantly.

* Most Minecraft servers are no longer vanilla Minecraft servers. The Minecraft server software is pretty bad in both functionality and performance. Most servers use Craftbukkit or Spigot, which has a plugin API (Spigot is a patched version of Craftbukkit with mostly performance fixes). Craftbukkit is open source, but is a legally gray area as it contains the decompiled code from the Mojang server. There is an API for writing plugins called Bukkit which is totally separate from the craftbukkit server implementation.

* The large servers have tried to work with Mojang to get a set of rules they can work with. Mojang listened to them and actually added clauses prohibiting some of the things they said they needed to even have a chance of this working for them.

* While Mojang claim their EULA never allowed servers to make money, their first one actually did. They've also granted written permission to some servers. Last year they had a panel at Minecon were top server owners actually talked about how their server makes money. Despite what their EULA says, Mojang has been basically telling servers it was fine to monetize up until now.

* Their new terms force servers to remove perks that have already been sold to players. Many server owners are objecting to this as it forces them to "steal" things that players have bought.

* Bungeecord is a proxy system that allows players to switch between multiple servers without logging out. The Minecraft clients multiplayer server list support has barely improved since Alpha. Mojang's new EULA treats a bungeecord proxy as a single server. This means that although they allow owners to charge players to access a server, it's pretty much impossible to do without inconveniencing players.

* The Minecraft network protocol is not patented. A number of open source server implementations exist which do no use any Mojang code. Since these changes have been announced these projects have become much more active with disgruntled developers starting to contribute. It is believed that the EULA cannot legally be enforced on these servers, although one Mojang developer made a statement to the contrary.

* No final draft for the new EULA has actually be made available, but a date for compliance has already been set. 1st August 2014.

* Mojang released their Realms hosting service worldwide just before making these changes, prompting many to accuse them of trying to eliminate the competition. However, they could simply stop releasing their server software if that was their intention, so most people don't believe this to be true.
My problem with Paleo people is the dogmatic language they use. They draw some very convincing conclusions but then turn their speculation into rigid rules. It's hard to have a conversation about the diet without throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Plus most sci-fi stuff such as hyperdrive is old news. Clarke, Asimov and most hard scifi are from 1950ies. Some stuff such as antigravity goes back to Wells and Kepler.

I have the opposite view.

Artists contribute to world culture. George Lucas may own Star Wars in a narrow technical sense (something something disney, I know), but from a cultural standpoint, he can't take it away. It has become part of our culture, part of our written and visual language. A vast amount of energy and derivative art has been spent enjoying and celebrating Star Wars. It has outgrown the original author, because that is what all human artifacts are: derivatives, copies, reinventions, reimaginations.

If copyright were 40 years, Star Wars would be up in 2017. That's more than enough time.

I have been grain free for 6 months. 25 pounds down and within 4 pounds of dropping below 25 BMI. (55 yr old male) I am convinced that the best way to "eat less" is eliminate all grains. Within three weeks I lost all cravings for carbs. I can walk into a Starbucks at the airport and not even look at the pastries. The breadbasket before dinner at the restaurant invokes a meh response. It takes about three weeks to get over what feels like a carb addiction. Read the first chapter of Wheat Belly for inspiration. Read Grain Brain next.
You're eating it for the protein (52g) and the taste. Not fair to compare a chicken breast to carrots in terms of nutrients. And the saturated fat isn't a big deal, that's the fuel your body uses when you're on the keto-diet, as I learned from my own switch to a keto-diet 4 years ago.
1. The weakness of plain Diffie-Hellman is that the data you receive (the other part of the key exchange) can be from someone you can't trust. You shouldn't use plain Diffie-Hellman if your attack model includes active attackers on the network.

The weakness of JS crypto is that the data you receive (the JS crypto library) can be from someone you can't trust. You shouldn't use JS crypto if your attack model includes active attackers on the network.

See what I did there?

2. Under the attack model of the passive eavesdropper, the assumption is that the crypto works because the passive eavesdropper does not tamper with JavaScript. Was this not clear from my previous posts?
This would be freaking awesome, right now we just use a playlist.

This thread is incredibly depressing.

All the people complaining about this diet being a fad are just regurgitating the fads from their childhood as facts. Vegetables and fresh fruit needn't form anywhere near a majority of a diet for you to be healthy, there are enough traditional societies for this.

The problem for the modern diet is that we have the appetites of an animal that should burn about ~4000 calories a day yet only expend around ~3000 on average.

Now if you want to be healthy as well as skinny instead of lowering your calorie intake you're much better off increasing your exercise.
Same thing happens with a baseball. Most professionals prefer "fresh" balls so they can have better control.

I put fresh in quotes because all baseballs are rubbed with what's colloquially called Mississippi Mud before every game.
Copyright law would not prevent us from creating derivatives of Steamboat Willie, but trademark law probably would. We could still sell Steamboat Willie on those dirt-cheap DVDs, though, as-is. For what that's worth... it's really of primarily historical interest, I doubt modern audiences will find that much to be terribly entertained by in it.

I don't have a problem with this. While it's not likely to any of the tastes of anybody reading this sentence, since Mickey Mouse right now is mostly being used to entertain those too young to read, he's still actively producing things. (And while Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is hardly a masterpiece for adults.... there's much worse out there to have to listen to ad infinitum.) The offensive thing about infinite copyright extension is locking up things that the creators are done with, and have been for decades, but won't let anyone else do anything either, thus essentially killing the cultural artifact in question.
Off topic really but check out Google Scholar for a fair number of papers showing that anthocyanins (colored fruit and vegetables) work positively in terms of eye function.
Looks interesting! I already use Git to manage version control for my WP sites, so it's probably not for me, but it could be very helpful for those who aren't tech-savvy enough to use Git directly -- i.e. 99.999% of the WP-using population.
Hostile attitude towards poor? I don't think so. Most of us are just busy trying to make a living/career, raise a family etc. There is not enough free time to go around. And whatever free time that is left is sucked up by TV/internet.

I doubt they can apply more hardware design engineering talent that the whole ARM ecosystem can; they certainly haven't as of the last time I checked (which was a while ago).

I also doubt the "beat them once" thesis. In general, to get "everyone" to switch you need a 10X superiority over the competition, and I seriously doubt that's in the cards. The ARM ecosystem is also extraordinary rich, and I can't see how Intel could replicate it. Finally, I seriously doubt the big players, some of whom have their own chip designs, and at least in the case of Samsung manufacture them, would be happy to move from the ARM ecosystem to an Intel monoculture where they'd be at Intel's mercy forever after.
As a long-time Emacs user, I find the presence of package managers somewhat disturbing. I'm not all that excited about fetching an elaborate dependency graph of third party plug-ins to make my editor of choice operate the way I'd like. My personal solution has been to integrate a few good packages into .emacs.d, manage that directory with git/github, and then cull out the stuff I no longer need as aggressively as I have time for. It seems to work fairly well, and has resulted in a manageable and cross platform installation.

Maybe this is just me being stuck in my ways....

The most important thing to recognize here is that bananas used as crops do not exhibit genetic drift (they are sterile). We clone new bananas from existing plants. Many of the bananas today, including the Cavendish, are thus very vulnerable to diseases like the fungus mentioned.

Genetic modification is one of the few ways we can keep the bananas we like while adjusting them for more recent diseases and pests. The only other way I know is to go back and find the ancestral species, and try to breed a fertile banana cousin.
I had the exact same question pop up in my mind after seeing the emoji's. I understand all characters can be considered nothing but pictures, but a thermometer, really? Is this used in any widespread language to be of significance to Unicode? Is Unicode trying to also offer some kind of clipart capability?

I think we've seen our fair share of derailed projects in IT. Unicode is certainly a very critical project, which makes its focus even more important.

I have the feeling the paleo diet is more popular among programmers / nerds than for example a whole foods vegan diet (which I'm following). Why could this be?
I think "distribution" in this context is just a nice way of saying that poor people can't afford better food from elsewhere, they have to rely on what is cheap and can be bought from the local market.

If they're already buying bananas as a staple food, then I presume that the fix would be for the government to go to the local growers and either give the better banana plants for free, or at a discounted rate, or some other incentive. If that's what the growers grow, then that is what will eventually be available at the market.

If they're growing their own food then that's a bit harder, but you could probably come up with some sort of incentive scheme to get people to switch. You could try charging the same amount as normal, but tell people that the new ones prevent blindness and anemia in children.
How exactly can he do that when all the traffic is encrypted via SSL?

And to address the quote from the article that you don't need JS Crypto if you're using SSL/TLS. It's a wrong assumption, there are still uses for it. It adds more security to the user data which is encrypted before it hits the server. A hacker owning the server at some point won't be able to get the data. He could, in theory, plant a exploit to collect user passwords (as they log in) but it's unlikely that it wouldn't get noticed very quickly.

It's not always about trust. Sometimes it's more about the burden of having the keys.
mega is a good example of why client side encryption is used. They don't want the burden / liability of knowing what is stored on their server. (they probably know it anyway, but the idea stands).
