> What would a control group consist of?

It would be an equivalent population who weren't asked to change their diets.

There are multiple reasons the patients in this study might not be comparable to participants in other studies or to the general population. Age, gender, average disease severity all need to be controlled for. And if nothing else the simple fact the patient knows they're being monitored could have an impact on all sorts of behaviors.

Yeah, these are interesting results, but without a control group you can't say for certain what is causing an effect or, actually, if an effect exists.

Canadian Antispam Law Whips Up a Storm of Last-Minute Messages
What is this company? The linked blog post does little to enlighten me, and even after reading the chumby.com homepage I'm still unsure. It looks like they sell hardware? For what purpose?
The wireless 360 controller requires a separate adapter which is not manufactured anymore and is shoddy at best, even installing the drivers can be difficult especially for a non technical person.
The use case for chumbies was intended to be different than Android apps in the sense that you have "channels" of rotating information (photos, tweets, whatever) that you can consume in a non-interactive manner (most of the time) which doesn't really map well to Android apps.

While I'm an avid Android user (phone & multiple tablets and even do Android programming as my current "day job"), I still think there is room in the world for the chumby "vision" though if it were to work long term it would be better served by eventually moving the system off of Flash and decoupling the service and apps even more from the existing hardware (it would be better as a software platform that ran on whatever, including (for example) raspberry-pi boards which are in some ways spiritual descendants of the chumby hardware).

disclosure: I worked for chumby until it died.
Isn't everything in the media designed to manipulate our emotions? I mean, those commercials to sponsor children in Africa, trying to make you feel guilty, and how for just the price of your morning coffee you can keep Timmy off the streets, and eating well?

You can argue FB relies on user content, but then I can compare that to reality TV shows, and how they'll take real-life footage, and manipulate it to trigger emotions.

For example, American Idol will paint a picture of someone struggling their whole life, and how this is their one opportunity for success after being fired from McDonalds and having their cat pass away. Then just as you're feeling sorry, they light up the stage, and you rejoice. Meanwhile, they forgot to tell you that person had professional training twice a week for the past 10 years, they won two other singing competitions earlier in the year, and live in a beautiful neighborhood, but that doesn't play into the emotions they want you to feel, and that doesn't get you to watch next week.

Or a show like Survivor, and how they'll take footage, and try to fabricate relationships and drama out of thin air. This way you become angry towards one character that'll be in the finale, and are likely to tune in to ensure they don't win.

Why can't Facebook do the same? Why can't they analyze and manipulate user emotions to increase business?
Half of the time it doesn't even work.
I find it frustrating that the blog post does not explain what a Chumby is.

Neither does the chumby.com homepage.

Incredibly, neither does the item description in the Chumby store.

I'm sure that this announcement is great news for someone, but is Chumby supposed to be a well-kept secret? Why make it so hard to discover what a Chumby does and for who?

"This study had several limitations. First, it included self-selected, very deter- mined patients. Without a control group, it is challenging to establish causality and as- sess how much of the observed changes are specifically due to the diet. Only some of the observed beneficial outcomes may have been due to the diet. This study was not pro- spectively randomized. Nevertheless, this fact does not detract from proof of concept that major cardiovascular events occurred in probably <1% (and certainly <10%) of the entire adherent cohort, compared with 62% of the nonadherent cohort (TaBlE 2). These data convey a strong message of patients accepting empowerment to be the locus of control to arrest their disease and confirm that patients will adopt a significant lifestyle transition to plant-based nutrition to halt and regress what we believe is a largely food- borne illness.

The past several decades have witnessed a substantial and sustained reduction in CAD. Nevertheless, CAD remains the number one killer of women and men in this country. Thousands of stable patients having stents experience no reduction in major cardiac events.6 While drugs have some effects on disease initiation and progression, these in- terventions do not address disease causation. Not surprisingly, most patients experience disease progression, more drugs, more im- aging, repeat interventions, progressive dis- ability, and, too often, death from a disease of western malnutrition, the cause of which has been largely left untreated. We have in press several patient experiences that exemplify the repeated failure of present-day cardiac drugs and procedural interventions, and that confirm the capacity of whole-food plant- based nutrition to restore health in “there is nothing further we can do” situations.36
In summary, the present cardiovascular medicine approach tested beyond 40 years can neither cure the disease nor end the epi- demic and is financially unsustainable. The safety, diminished expense, and prompt, powerful, and persistent results in treating the cause of vascular disease by whole-food plant-based nutrition offer a paradigm shift from existing practice. We think the time is right for a controlled trial. But in the mean- time, the data are sound and strong enough that patients should be informed of this option."

Unfortunately, this sort of thing is a soft skill and doing it well requires a lot of expertise. It's comparable to being a good interviewer, which is also a rarity.

You can't just ask hard, probing questions baldly and expect to get accurate answers. More so, you can't expect to do that and expect it to not affect your interviewer's appraisal of you as well. You need to build up a rapport first and then you need to ask some leading questions that give your interviewer the opportunity to reveal some perhaps unsavory truths about their workplace. Granted, it might be hard to generate a rapport, or they might be too wary to tell you anything of substance or anything negative about the company, but that alone provides a lot of information regardless. If you have a hard time connecting with interviewers then maybe culture fit would be a problem. And if they won't open up about problems then that might be a sign of a dysfunctional corporate environment that discourages honesty and openness.

A great historical summary. I tend to agree with the opinion stated about the US's vulnerabilities. I probably have the minority opinion here, but in different ways the US and China look fragile. If China has severe problems maintaining the economic growth required for social stability, the effects on the rest of the world will likely be less when the US dollar is phased out of being the world's reserve currency in favor of SDRs.

This was some years ago now, but I saw the PI of the Nurses's Health Study [0] (I don't remember if it was Speizer or Willett; probably Willet) give a talk at Harvard. This was just after I read The China Study [1] -- a book recommended by Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease, which was given to participants of this study. The recommendations of the NHS [2] seem to disagree with the more extreme diets of TCS and this study. I asked about this in the Q&A. The speaker dismissed TCS, saying that the their data did not in fact support their conclusions. It seems Willett and Campbell have had an ongoing exchange [3] in the literature.

edit: Here are two critiques of The China Study:

Thanks for including that.

In other words, they conclude that diet can impact CAD and some people will be willing to change their diet. No surprise there. The fact that the study was for plant-based nutrition holds very little relevance since there was no control group. It could simply be that people transitioned to a healthy diet. We can't know for sure without proper controls.
Tell HN: “Troubles at Grooveshark” was deleted by its submitter
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7974727 was posted an hour ago
and quickly went to #1. It's gone now because the submitter has deleted it. We didn't touch
it, and we don't know who wrote it or whether it was true. Since the
post would otherwise be at #1, I thought some people might be wondering. Normally I'd post this as a comment in the thread, but there is no thread.

For the curious, "deleted" is like "dead" except users can't see it, even when they have "showdead" turned on. We never delete posts, except on rare occasions when users have a good reason for asking us to. The most we ever do as moderators is make a post "[dead]", and those are always visible if you have "showdead" turned on.
I don't think it's that common - I've only seen it a couple of places, but it happens. Most places in Europe I've been, there's car traffic going in parallel with the pedestrians.

The most "famous" example in Europe of all traffic being stopped at once, I suspect is Oxford Circus in London, where they changed to start doing this a few years ago.

The reason to do it there, though, was to allow pedestrians to walk in any direction (diagonally as well) across one of the busiest crossings in the country. This BBC article refers to it as a "Japanese-styled system":

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7997569.stm
I don't know if it's highly flawed, though it does have the flaws you mention. The numbers may be true, but they don't smell right to me. 90% adherence for a significant change in diet for the long-term of three and a half years? Even for people who've had close shaves with death and those who have 'every intention' of following through, this seems absurdly high.

Similarly the marked difference in effects between the groups - two thirds of the non-adherent group versus a single case in the 177 adherents, in terms of having another event? It's not like the benefits of vegetarianism all arrive the following day - I would have thought there'd likely be a few more in the adherents group that had an event while they were still 'in transition'.

It may all very well be true, but it does smell a little funny.
If users sign up through a social site, their account is still identified by email. So as long as their email addresses are the same between sites, it doesn't matter which social service they use, so they won't have to remember. Twitter doesn't provide an email address, however, so that could be a problem.
Yes. It's a useful endeavour. Things like Datalog, regular expressions or applicative parser combinators come out of it.

Even while the chumby service was down I would often pull these out to use as special purpose devices (eg. mpd servers for net radio), they are still pretty good small linux boxes that go great with Go development.

It is illegal for certain people to post certain things at certain locations on the internet. Posts aren't inherently illegal and I think you are missing the nuance more than the eff is.

What kind of question is that. It's like

This post needs to be higher. Note the weasel-words about this being an adjunct to normal cardiovascular care:

>These patients with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) were interested in transitioning to plant-based nutrition as an adjunct to usual cardiovascular care.

In other words, this study cannot establish that the statins these patients were already taking didn't account for their perceived health benefits.
And why would you wonder so? Some insight please.
Seconded. We've changed the url to that from http://www.jfponline.com/articles/editor-s-pick/article/a-wa.... We've also reverted the title. The submitted title ("A 99.4% effective way to reverse Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).") seemed pretty editorialized.
I'm wondering how this same argument would pan out if this was a website for the "community" of drug dealers or child abusers to allow discussions of their "problems" and protect their anonymity.
You are right on all three points!

The most interesting item in the article, was this, "We referenced the plummeting death rates from strokes and heart attacks in Norway during World War II when the German occupying forces confiscated their livestock, limiting Norwegians to plant-based nutrition.15"

I didn't know about this. This might be the only reliable
evidence of the efficacy of plant based diets we have so far? I don't know the mindset of Norwegians back then
concerning health, so I don't think the Placebo Effect played much of a role in final statistics, and they must have been under a lot of stress. I couldn't find the footnote 15, but will look harder.

Dissecting the 128-byte raycaster
I think the key is that Tor should only be used with HTTPS connections. Anyone that's like "zomg, my HTTP connections are being recorded by Tor exit nodes don't use Tor!" is kinda being a bit silly. I know personally people the have designed hardware for major ISPs to specifically record HTTP traffic for non-benign purposes.

I don't trust Tor for a completely different reason: you become a threat. Just by sending Tor traffic from your home, you're flagged as a potential active monitoring target, and I don't really need the additional heat.

I have always wondered about that. What if I completely switch all my network traffic to Tor continue using all the services as I currently do? What are the implications involved here?
I think studies which measure traffic congestion in the US based on road building over the last couple decades IMHO are flawed.

That is because I believe how and where you build the road is more important than how much road you build. For example, where I live the main roads in the city proper haven't been upgraded in the last 40 years. Yet, new roads funneling drivers from farther and farther out are being constructed all the time. This simply means that the first 1/2 of many drivers commutes involves sailing along a new road until they hit the old roads, and then puttering around at 5mph (or worse) for the last 5-10 miles of the journey.
But here are a couple of things to consider.

1. If I make more than approx $106k a year, I cap out on paying FICA.
2. As far as I know, everything I buy at places like Amazon costs the same regardless of where I live (with in the US).
3. Many financial incentives are provided as a percentage instead of a raw dollar amount e.g. 401k's are usually matched by percentage, raises are often a percentage increase.

I Was Wrong – Proving LZ4 Exploitable With Less Than 4MB
We did produce a chumby Android app prior to the company going out of business, I think it still exists.

Putting it on iOS was a no-go because of iOS' refusal to support Flash. Even today it would still be kind of iffy on iOS unless it was all based on HTML and JavaScript since AFAIK that's the only way (via UIWebView) that Apple will allow any app to be as dynamic as a real chumby control panel app would have to be, which then becomes a bit of a problem as far as backward compatibility to existing chumby hardware goes since they are pretty CPU/RAM starved for web stuff.

But you're right in that (as I mentioned in the other post) the system would be better served by being a multiplatform software play in the future rather than being stranded on old ARMv5 devices running Flash Lite.

Well, you make a good point and I speak half in jest regarding athletes and actors.(Although famous actors do make a lot of money).

I guess I just noticed this a long time ago in large companies. A guy at the top makes a lot of money. He often provides a symbolic role, a bit of (often bad) strategy, much ass covering, credit taking, bus pushing and ladder climbing... but the real services the company provides are actually carried out by people making much less.

So... I maintain, that the actual importance to society of task performed is often inversely correlated with earning.
