I am quite sure that carbs is the most satiating macro, not fat. :) j/k

It's the energy density and palatability, not macronutrient content.

http://jn.nutrition.org/content/130/2/268.long

"In studies of satiation, it is important to match the palatability of the foods when they are compared. If it is not, the fact that one food tastes better than another could override any effects of the nutrient composition on amount consumed (Drewnowski 1998). In addition, to study the specific effects of macronutrients, they must be manipulated independently of energy density."

"These three studies indicate that the amount of fat in the diet did not influence satiation when the energy density was held constant."

"These results provide clear evidence that the energy density of food can affect satiation independently of macronutrient content and palatability."

IIRC the seeding ability was intentionally bred out of cultivated bananas because the seeds themselves were large, inedible, and comprised a significant portion of the fruit itself.

I'll hopefully have more to add to the conversation after I try this game in a language. At face value, I am not at all clear on how this will take 90 lines of javascript. That just seems extreme.

Yes. The real message is the motto's first sentence.
Todays grains are actually a highly-processed food that you can't really digest when they're raw. There's no one simple rule for food on paleo/primal, but one rule of thumb is "feel free to cook, but only eat things you could eat raw."
While it may be mathematically impossible for the server to give you hostile code with no way at all of you detecting it, in practice you are not going to check the JavaScript you download each time. Nor does the browser have any way of doing version control for you, or of verifying what's actually running.
Looks like they removed the "capiche" from the page and corrected the other thing to "e adesso?".

Just to add to your last sentence, successful projects have to pay for projects not yet ready to release as well as unsuccessful ones (whether due to them flopping or lack of critical mass.)
I think you're mistaken in both directions.

On the one hand, you do not have a monopoly over land in the sense of copyright. Sure, you control the use of the particular piece of land, but if someone else wants to copy it by reshaping their own land to have the same topography as yours, you have no recourse. Also, if someone wants to make a derivative work, like a map, they are free to do so. In this sense, the land is in the public domain.

On the other hand, you already have indefinite government granted monopoly of creative works in the sense of land ownership. You can write a novel, print it, bind it, and put it in a drawer. As long as you just have the one copy and don't give it to anyone else, the government will protect your right to exclusive usage and ownership of the work. In this sense, the book is protected property like land.

Where the equivalence falls apart is when you want to sell or transfer the property. If you sell your land, you have no say in what the new owners do with it. If you sell a book, you expect to be able to control what the new owners do with it. This is why this comparison is not very useful.
> It's not just a malicious server

The author effectively dismisses the point being about a malicious server: especially with "Just use the SSL", because, well, if you're landed on the server, SSL means squat.

The author is concerned about:

- the unavailability of secure functions necessary for crypto (as simple as RNG, as useful as an AES call, or as complex as a full-blown PGP API with transparent, ad-hoc key management) in browsers

- the unavailability of a secure, non-monkey-patchable runtime environment for JS crypto code to execute in, guaranteeing one can use the aforementioned functions as intended

- the vulnerability of the code as content in the channel itself (when not using SSL) or in the browser itself (XSS and all)

All of those being legitimate causes of concerns (IOW in crypto world, gaping holes rendering client-side JS crypto untrustable)
Programmers read a lot of blogs and use reddit, and paleo bloggers and /r/paleo are much more popular than vegan bloggers and /r/vegan. Of course the causation could go in the other direction, so I'm just guessing here.
For practical purposes, the better question is what resolution is the digital intermediate. That's effectively the highest resolution you are going to get without spending a lot of money to redo work. And for a decent chunk of recent history, that's going to be 2K.

* 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.

The servers don't have to remove the perks, they just have to give them to everyone.

What's pretty clear in all this is that Notch does not want Minecraft to become some kind of pay-to-win game (which would inevitably damage the reputation of the game). I think he is absolutely right to stand by this. He also has stated numerous times on Twitter that Mojang doesn't care about server admins getting money for the service (if anything to pay for the hosting costs), as long as any gameplay modification that is distributed is available for all players without paying.
Requiring a 55" screen to tell the difference is still outside the realm of the VAST majority of home setups. I don't even know anyone with a screen that large other than a single friend of a friend with an expensive home theater room with a full-screen projection setup. And it doesn't do 4K.
your parents don't have to use key signing. they can just mail each other their public keys or upload them to a key server. that covers the encryption aspect of pgp. they can verify their identities by sharing secrets but I would expected them to easily notice right away if they are talking with the wrong person...
> Because it's waste.

Waste of what?

> Because if not every font implements it, what is the usefulness of it?

Most fonts only implements a fraction of unicode, is unicode a waste? Is cyrillic in unicode a waste? Is Cherokee? Braille symbols? Buginese and Meroitic cursive?

> Did you ever visit websites that use glyphs your font doesn't know?

Yes? The software will fall back on a font which does provide the glyphs, or display a block with the codepoint if it doesn't have any.

> How would you use those pictures on a website, when you can't even guarantee the style of the picture, because it may be implemented differently or not at all.

How would you use letters on a website, when you can't even guarantee the style of the letters, because it may be implemented differently or not at all?

Not only that, but unicode is not specific to websites for fuck's sake, not only will somebody find a use for them on websites even if you can't, somebody will definitely find a use for them outside of websites. Most (or all?) of the new emoji are inherited from windings[0] and webdings[1], they don't come out of nowhere.

> It just looks like a big waste for no good reason.

Again, a big waste of what?

What's that Google is working on, and it's a much better environment. The code lives on your computer all the time, and you (in theory, assuming the proper browser settings) can make sure you are using a constant version of the code that matches up with what other people are using and auditing.

You can't lock down JavaScript at all. Your browser should (in theory) tell you when a plug-in is asking to be updated and give you the option to say "nope."

In theory, you could even walk up to a brand-new (assuming uncompromised) computer and reinstall the plugin. But you would still need some way of knowing that you were installing the same version you decided to trust earlier. Recognizing checksum pictures, I guess?
Virgin America's new booking experience
So it’s expensive and hard. So what? Doesn’t mean scummy play to win bullshit is something to be proud of, especially when targeting children.

I mean, what Mojang now permits I consider just barely ethically acceptable. Do know that these pay to win schemes are extremely disgusting and that you are far from behaving ethically if you use them. If you can live with that …

The legal discussion is kind of boring to me in that context, since it seems so obvious that the behaviour of many server owners is so disgusting. I’m happy that Mojang is trying to crack down on that and I hope they don’t fail. Maybe they will, but that doesn’t change anything about how wrong these pay to win schemes are.
I'm both excited and worried about it shipping as a standard WordPress plugin. What failsafes are there to guarantee that this very plugin shan't itself break after a particular update?
I presume they would have to move rooms, same as if that type of room were fully booked out and they decided to extend their stay - they'd be required to move to a different type of room.
Not just: any attack that can inject arbitrary code in a web page (e.g XSS attacks), and other crypto oriented attack due to lack of serious primitives being available (e.g timing attacks or attacks on the RNG)
Hey man, I loved that article, I read it a while ago. It seemed like it had a pretty simple takeaway: JS crypto by itself is laughable, and JS crypto on top of real crypto is pointless.

I do have a question though -- you say that 'you can deliver the JS crypto with SSL, but then it's irrelevant because the connection is secure,' so I'd like to know, what's your opinion of blockchain.info?

It adds JS crypto on top of SSL, and provides a signed browser extension, for reasons that seem to make sense given its use case.

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.

Depends on location, I think. In the United States, yeah, that might be the case, but in other countries (I'm thinking parts of Africa), it is a distribution issue, particularly when dealing with corrupt governments.
Huh?

Again, this is the misconception that game developers can only ever do one thing at a time. True for one or two person developers, not true for Mojang. They can afford lawyers. Developers will have nothing to do with the implementation of this policy. They are working on the modding API, just as before.

Also, this was triggered from the outside. Someone asked for clarification on the policy, Mojang looked over all the feedback and came back with this response. It’s purely reactive, not an initiative.

You are talking nonsense. Plausible sounding nonsense, but still nonsense.

Interesting little tidbit - They switched from the funky Euro Pricing for their LongAccess Photo Albums to (presumably) US dollar pricing for their Cold Storage.
There's a lot of people working on the "distribution" issue. There's no reason not to attack the problem from another angle. This is one of the things that makes Gate's foundation so great. He's bringing a pretty radical new perspective to charity. An approach of "Get the most good for his buck".
Why would you find that hard to believe? The NSA has been putting their own hardware in other people's data centers and requiring their SSL keys, for example. So it certainly happens in the US.
How about the argument that although browser crypto won't render your communications reliably secure, widespread adoption could make it significantly harder to transparently implement mass surveillance?

I'm not sure if this argument is actually flawed, or just anathema to grown up cryptographers who prefer hard maths to wishy washy politics/economics?
The weakness of JS Crypto is that you cannot authenticate the source of your crypto library so you cannot make sure it works properly. The problems are equivalent. All your ranting against what I'm saying is also directly applicable to plain Diffie-Hellman. Both simply are not secure under the active attacker model. That does not disqualify plain Diffie-Hellman from having some use (although not under most attack models), and that does not disqualify JS crypto from having some use (although not under most attack models).

I'm going to respectfully decline discussing what attack models are and their use in security protocols on HN, as you unfortunately appear to not understand what I mean (which is probably my fault) or what attack models are used for in security research. You also appear to be confusing security research and cryptography research. You can mail me if you want to discuss this further.

I admit that in practise you're not going to check the Javascript. But from the point of view of someone trying to get their hands on private material, the difference is huge. If the private material is on a server, a simple court order (or not) can give you access to potentially millions of customer records. But if you wanted to do dragnet collection when client-side crypto is in use, you now have millions of small but non-zero risks to get exposed.

[EDIT: spelling]
>The top servers are paying tens of thousands a month in hosting.

Are you just speculating? This seems extremely high. I've hosted a couple Minecraft servers and even with a mild constant population (~30) it wasn't even breaking 100/mo.

>DDOS protection is pretty much essential to any server over a certain size, which increases costs significantly.

I've had many dedicated servers in my day, and this has never been the case. Not sure where you're getting this data from.
Reconstructions of what medieval people ate indicate they were often downing over 4500 calories a day. And their food was probably a lot more nutrient dense than ours in terms of minerals and vitamins.

I think with typical modern foods it is somewhat difficult to get adequate micronutrient intake on a sub 3000 calorie diet. This is where the calorie in/out idea falls down. If you undereat you are going to tank your metabolism and also have some deficiency problems.

Not only are we made to be walking around getting exercise for much of the day, it is critically important to realize we are made to be doing it outside. Sun light exposure is a huge deal for health. People who spend time outside live longer. Just light exposure on its own boosts metabolism.
Nope. See 'proprietary DRM' and 'vendor lock-in'. You can basically use specific Sony/LG/Samsung TVs and that's it.

Or pirate it after it's released and watch it the way you want to.

I am not in favour of widespread, unaccountable surveillance of UK citizens.

Don't you think Tempora constitutes widespread, unaccountable surveillance? Also why the UK citizens qualifier?

During my time we disrupted a number of exceptionally serious terrorist operations.[1] [2] are public knowledge and there are a few others that are not open source at this time.

Most people would applaud you for that work and support some level of targeted spying, overseen by the judiciary, that doesn't mean spies should have carte-blanche to spy with impunity on everyone. Judicial scrutiny would make life more difficult when surveilling terrorists, but we have a limited justice system because it is fair and moral, not because it is maximally efficient.

Neither I, nor any of my colleagues, were instructed to keep any files on individuals to be used as political leverage or "for dirt" at a later stage.

If information is kept on everyone, you wouldn't need to be. The information is stored, ready to be used at any point in the future, and your boss doesn't need you to access it. The concept of keeping files seems a bit quaint in an age when massive datacentres are built to store our data, and every communication, no matter how mundane, is being logged for future use.

I would also note that British intelligence and police have on multiple occasions spied on individuals for use as political and economic leverage, and given Tempora, they wouldn't even need to spy on individuals specifically, so your assertion here rings a little hollow.

It's not all about us or some perceived intrusion, it's about power and the very real threat to a democratic and free and open society that universal surveillance and unaccountable spy agencies pose. Also interesting that you bring up the IRA and the attacks of the 90s - that violence wasn't settled by surveillance and repression, but by compromise and self-rule.

None of that requires JavaScript. You basically just described the Lavabit model, where user passwords were used to derive key material that was never stored on the server. If you trust the server to give you good client-side code barring exceptional cases, you might as well trust them to discard your password after use.
No, each new work gets its own separate copyright period. Many individual elements of the BBC series are public domain, and as such could be used in other works, but the work as a whole is covered by copyright.

The x86 Android build provided by GenyMotion (cited in the article) performs at the same speed as the x86 iPhone simulator.

It has two major issues:

- The UI is quirky (but usable)

- It's expensive

- GenyMotion devices have no Google Play by default. Want to test how your website runs in Chrome? Spend ages hacking Google Play onto the Android device.

Google could fix all of these things easily.
