I don't know exactly what you mean by market saturation in this case, as your logic seems to imply that each book has a finite market of N customers, and enough of a subset of them, M, are willing to pay $1000 (or whatever), such that M(1000) > N(5).

The error in your logic is that the size of the market for a given book actually depends on the price of that book. There's millions of books out there. Why would I pay $1000 for one when I can get so many others for $5? By lowering the price of books, Amazon increases the market size of each one.

There's also some behavioral economics involved, as I would assume people are far more likely to make a $5 impulse purchase (and look at that, Amazon has "one click send to Kindle!") than a $15 one.
I'm not attacking Sisson's framework. I haven't read much of his stuff, but the Primal Blueprint does seem to base a lot of its information off of assumptions about what Paleolithic hunter gatherers are supposed to have eaten.

The article above makes a pretty good case for why building your diet from this foundation may not be the most reliable framework. If Sisson is using the latest scientific research to develop his system, then fine. But this is hardly a "Paleolithic" diet then. Why not just say "Avoid processed foods because they have been shown in numerous studies to have negative effects?"

"as fast as physically possible on your CPU architecture" is a ludicrous phrase full of misunderstanding.
This was the first thing I thought about when I saw this was released. It will be interesting to see if that goes anywhere.
I am thinking about it, actually. My wife's mother died from a head injury in a car (in the 90s with no air bags). I hadn't thought about wearing a helmet in a car much until reading this, but my car is also equipped with air bags both in front of and beside me. Most of the statistics in this article were before side curtain airbags were as common, and the pie chart is from the 70s when air bags were not very common at all. So I have basically purchased a vehicle that has a lot of the helmet functionality built in. I would guess wearing a helmet with full air bags is probably more dangerous than not wearing one.
Clojure core.async and callback hell
He also cites an Australian study, which concludes risk of head injury per million hours travelled: Cyclist 0.41, Pedestrian 0.80, Motor vehicle occupant 0.46, Motorcyclist 7.66.

So if you want to be consistent you should update your comment to:

If you are cycling or driving wear a helmet.

I'm trying to gain 10 or 20 lbs, because I'm on the slim side. The problem, weighing yourself once a week is open to random fluctuations.

For example, let's say I'm trying to gain 15 lbs this year. That's 0.28 lbs per week, or 1.25 lbs per month. My weight might go up and down a couple of pounds throughout the day, depending on the amount of water in my system, when I use the washroom, etc.

So, I weigh myself today, and let's say I had a little extra water in my system. Now, I weigh myself in a month, and I'm slightly dehydrated that day without realizing it. I might have reached my goal and gained 1.25 lbs that month, but the scale is showing I weigh 1 lbs less than when I started.

That's a problem, because I stuck to my goals, my routine, and I get slapped in the face with results that say I'm going in the opposite direction. I might incorrectly make changes to my calorie count, that don't need to be made.

This is why tracking is useful. You step on the scale on a regular basis, and you can see the overall trend over time. In the above scenario, I can see although the scale shows 1 lbs less, it's an off day, and looking at the forecast, I'm on target and did average a gain 1.25 lbs that month.

Now, I don't even have a scale, but that's why I'd like to get one, so I can step on it throughout the day, and see a graph to better summarize what's happening.

I can definitely see potential in the color correction idea, but usually that involves keying ona fairly narrow range of color so I don't know how it would hold up under a wide variety of lighting conditions - although it's not like you're scattering money in every scene unless it's a very very bad heist movie XD

Okay, how's this :P

Cars have other safety equipment that make them unlike bicycles. These include airbags, seatbelts, crumple zones and the like.

If you are a driving, you should employ those safety devices when you do so.

It's not DRM that prevents you from owning the book. It's the licence. The DRM just makes it easier for the licensor to enforce the terms of the licence.

I 'buy' DRM-free books from O'Reilly. The lack of DRM means that O'Reilly won't ever be able to remove my ability to read those books on a new device. However, I still don't own the books, and have no second-sale rights.
Wow! I totally did not know this. Just went through a few Wikipedia articles too.

A question I have is what would happen if I cut down carbohydrates, but not increase fat either! I discovered through accidental self-experimentation that cutting down on sugar is helping me, while my diet barely included rice, potatoes, etc. anyways. I used to consume some pasta, but will reduce that too now.

What is the purpose behind increasing fat in diet when doing this? Is it to just compensate for calorie loss? Is it to control cravings? One one hand, it is saying that ketogenic diet will help burn body fat, and on the second it says go increase fat consumption!

I'll need to do some research to understand how to get carbohydrates to just 20-25 grams per day like you have mentioned. A "Pure Protein" bar I just consumed by itself had 17g! Would it work out if I can get to within 50g of carbs (which is still much lower than 300g you mention for an average American), together with cut down fat too? Or that defeats the whole purpose?!

Since I started cutting down on sugar drastically, I have noticed though my craving for sugar has increased (though I am still able to control). Diet soda seems to be helping with these cravings significantly though I am not sure what are the side effects. (I have come across many conflicting studies against soda, so have never been sure!)

I am moderately exercising too, gradually increasing.

Eggs seem to be recommended in these diets. As someone with borderline cholesterol, would eggs still be recommended?

Thanks!
Why would you hope to see it reposted here? Especially since it sounds like you've already read it.
An interesting case. If wearing a helmet when walking becomes half as socially acceptable as wearing one while biking, I'll seriously consider it.
[offering] Full-stack marketing and business development mentoring : mentors
I'm extremely skeptical of this viewpoint, if only due to the fact that the energies involved in car crashes are an order of magnitude larger than those involved in bike accidents.

Intuition says that a car might be traveling (on average) double the speed of a bike--which puts us at 4x the amount of stored energy in your head which can dissipate. Unfortunately, bicycle helmets are almost definitely useless at this speed.[1]

It's also unclear if the same mechanisms for brain injury apply, though I don't have any statistics on this matter. My impression is that strict blunt force trauma is no longer the prevalent mechanism for injury in cars---you're more likely to get whiplash or some sort of quick rotation that puts you in a coma due to the brain sloshing around. Helmet or no helmet, it's difficult to protect against rotational modes.

So even if we went with this article's suggestion of wearing helmets in cars, there's a large possibility the numbers wouldn't look any better. I wear a helmet on a bike because it maximises my protection given the amount of inconvenience it gives me. Nothing about car statistics invalidates this trade.

Then again, that was an argument made against Adwords when it first debuted. But that worked out pretty well for a Google (admittedly, it's debatable whether users are entirely clear on what's a sponsored result and what's not).

Here's a related question: what's stopping Facebook, or any company for that matter, from making its own App Store? It could list both Android and iOS apps, and simply link to each app's original listing in its native App Store. The problem, of course, is that if this was in the form of an app it could not be part of the iTunes App Store.

But the search experience in both major app stores is sorely lacking, and if some other big company with reach wants to improve on that -- desktop or otherwise -- it would be a welcome improvement.

It seems Amazon is effectively the entire market: customers, distribution, payment.

If Amazon were worth only 10%, it would be irrelevant and publishers would go elsewhere.

If the combined value to an author of a publisher and Amazon were only 30%, they wouldn't rely on either so heavily. But here we are.

You didn't give me an example. The UK attempted example was for anonymity, not a complete shut down of the press.

A small percentage of the media may be involved in gossip, but when it comes to political corruption, we need to have complete transparency, without any compromises. Using the threat of economic consequences is a horrible reason to enable politicians to usurp power from the free press.
That's a fascinating article. It does mention that they weren't particularly useful though:

_Over Japan, bomber crews soon discovered strong winds at high altitudes, the so-called jet streams, but the Norden bombsight worked only for wind speeds with minimal wind shear. Additionally, the bombing altitude over Japan reached up to 9,100 metres (30,000 ft), but most of the testing had been done well below 6,100 metres (20,000 ft). This extra altitude compounded factors that could previously be ignored; the shape and even the paint of the bomb mantle greatly changed the aerodynamic properties of the weapon, and, at that time, nobody knew how to calculate the trajectory of bombs that reached supersonic speeds during their fall_
He runs a really, really right ship. Off the top of my head I think the SaaS budget alone at my companies is larger than that.

That said, by the standards of physically extant businesses, it is ridiculous how far you can get on $1k or $2k a month.
It should also be noted that cars have a number of safety devices which bicycles do not, airbags, seat belts, crumple zones, and so on.

Cars also travel under different conditions from bicycles as well (certainly not many highway bicyclists), and as such i would presume that motorists would be involved in many more high speed crashes (although data on that would be interesting to see).

So comparing injuries on bikes to injuries in cars definitely seems like an apples to oranges comparison at first blush.
Thank you for that link! Here in Finland we only got tiny selection of American Whiskey and that link pointed out that I still have so many American Whiskey left to experience :) And seeing as the Buffalo Trace is one of my favourite Whisky I think I'm not going to be disappointed when I have the chance to try out one of the more "rarer" ones. Only if our local stores had more American Whiskey selection (Eagle Rare 10yo is "rarest" pre-order bottle for 60$)..
This tool is absolutely amazing and a great idea… but has a big caveat: you can't sandbox it because it extends prototypes, so unfortunately it's entirely 100% unusable in node because it breaks module encapsulation. Node allows multiple versions of the same package to exist simultaneously, so if one package depends on sugar@1.0.0 and another on sugar@1.5.0, the version that is used to extend the prototypes is entirely determined at run-time – and could even change at run-time.
Are you suggesting that Flippiness should use those services or are you saying that a person can use those services for free without paying?

If latter, yes we could use those but we don't know how frequently they update their prices. If there is a mismatch between their prices and source prices, our data will be inaccurate. We get prices continuously in a cycle for all books that we have (almost a Million). This ensures we remove stale records.

If you meant Former, the issue is a person can't manually check prices for a lot of books every day. Even if they did it will cost them more timewise than our membership dues.

Won't this mean actually the reverse?
Ok that leaves pedestrians, who have twice as many head injury's per km. Most likely due to being hit by cars - perhaps cars should have airbags on the outside too...

Well, to be precise, the author is frustrated that other people are taking it much too seriously. I'm inclined to defend this: The time to stop being dismissive of a stupid story is when everyone else around you is holding it up as prescient.
I couldn't get past episode 3. The many sex scenes seemed completely unrealistic and out of place, and the characters were almost entirely unlikable.

I'm glad there's open source software for this. That means there's at least "a chance" that seriou bugs will be stamped out. But I'm not overly optimistic. E.g. OpenSSL bugs existing for years, Apple having "goto fail; goto fail;" problems.

It doesn't really matter if you're just having an affair with a married co-worker. Nobody cares. But if you're in Iran, Syria, Iraq, Russia, Ukraine, Gaza, etc., you literally are betting your life on the quality of your encryption. That's not a situation I'd ever want to be in.
I think what pekk is complaining about is the “as fast as physically possible” - unless your CPU is on a rocket heading to the moon it is not physically moving as fast as physically possible.

As for a suggestion how about just “as fast as possible”.
All I see in your argument is preconceived opinions with speculative statements and nothing to back them up. Sorry but you did not add anything to this discussion, not even in the form of new questions or pointing out flaws in the post's arguments using evidence.
I'd like to see strong evidence too. Where I live there have been a far larger number of pedestrians seriously injured by cars than cyclists - but you're right far more time is spent walking.
Thanks for the answer.

1) I don't know enough to talk about resource limiting that Linode might do. There might be a reason they don't want to or can't use it with their infrastructure.

2) I agree, they could publish some guidelines for resource usage, but this is hardly baffling. I'd guess most of the customers just don't hit this problem, so there's no need to list all of the limitations.

The movies with giant robots tend to have vastly higher budgets than the ones involving suitcases of money, although these days 'invisible' FX are the norm even on lower budget projects.

But I think it's more to do with departmental splits. ie if you're the prop guy and you turn up with a pile of orange money saying 'just CG it' then you're offloading part of your job onto a different department and messing up their budget, which is a big no-no. Producers always prefer the person who makes things simpler over the person who makes them more complicated.

Bear in mind that the majority of people work together on a per-project basis so organizationally film production is more fragmented than you might expect. Even on big productions you typically don't know many of the people you are working with at the start of a project and you only meet each other a few days or weeks before shooting starts. Like any other organization, different departments guard their budget allocations jealously.

The article doesn't mention any of the downsides to this approach, the biggest being style of C code. From Dave Cheney[0]

- Using C code is inherently unsafe, not just because it unholsters all the C footguns, but because you can address any symbol in the runtime. With great power comes great responsibility.

- The Go 1 compatibility guarantee does not extend to C code.

- C functions cannot be inlined.

- Escape analysis cannot follow values passed into C functions.

- Code coverage does not extend to C functions.

- The C compilers (5c, 6c, 8c) are not as optimised as their companion Go compilers, you may find that the code generated is not as efficient as the same code in Go.

- You are writing plan 9 style C code, which is a rough analogue of C89.

"So we're starting from a position of believing that wealthy people are inherently more intelligent and, by extension, deserve their wealth. This link between intelligence and wealth is perhaps the most dangerous idea of the film and pretty quickly slips into advocating for some form of soft eugenics to build a better world."

Statically, isn't that true? Corruption and heritage might make this not true, but I don't think that's totally inepte to think there is a link between intelligence and the actual wealth of people.

Re: "suppression"

I generally fall into the same anti-paranoia camp as you seem to, as in "how bad can they really be?" But then I read articles like one posted here a while back, which I'm having trouble finding (anyone?), that described massive, tens-of-millions-of-dollars government research contracts ostensibly to "study the Arab Spring." The article talked about the discomfort of researchers, who were surprised to be pressured by the Pentagon into focusing their efforts on "potentially disruptive" American groups like the Tea Party or Occupy Wall Street.

Again, I can't find the article, but I remember my takeaway from it was that the Pentagon is actively pursuing research into how to identify, control, and suppress grass roots movements and protests in the US.

So, maybe we haven't seen evidence of suppression yet, but I suspect that's because there has yet to be an adequate trigger event in the US, or an "American spring" of sorts. When that happens, which I'm sure it will at some point, we will see the NSA putting their data to use against American citizens.
