Pre or post-tax?
At first, yes, we were definitely in the wrong. according to this directive we weren't aware of. We didn't have the low bitrate stream. But after we got rejected the first time, we fixed that and continued to be rejected. Once we got a hold of someone real at Apple they admitted the mistake and that's when we found out that they were trying to test our streams and giving us the form-letter rejection.
Alright, I phrased this snarkily, but let me expand on it: Who do you tax? As you said, the tax contributions funding this cannot come from those making the minimum; accordingly, they must come from those making more than the minimum. Just as, currently, those who make a lot of money owe taxes while those who make very little money do not owe taxes.

If we wished to accomplish the basic income purely through income taxation, all we would need is some function f mapping pre-tax to post-tax income such that over the whole population, income and f(income) have the same average [for convenience, I am separating out for now all other income taxation we may wish to engage in; consider it to be applied before or after this tax], while f is everywhere increasing (so there is always an incentive to work) and f(0) is the basic income we seek. We likely would also want our taxation to be progressive (as in the current system); this amounts to asking for the differential of f to be decreasing. Within these constraints, there are a multitude of choices we can make.

(Yes, this is simply a form of redistribution. And why not, to the extent we can afford it? As already argued, this particular form of redistribution could unleash a host of societal benefits.)
They didn't test a low fat diet in the study. 30% of calories from fat is not low fat. Also, it appears they used low saturated fat (<7%) and high PUFA. That's pretty much backwards as it's well known that PUFAs have antimetabolic effects.

All these experiments ever confirm (over and over) is that plenty of protein is helpful in the context of a reduced calorie diet, and that restricting food choices results in spontaneous calorie reduction. Protein has very high satiety and thermic effect. As for low fat or low carb it doesn't matter much. It's just that carbs and fat go great together and it's very difficult to overeat without the combination. A plain stick of butter and a large bowl of plain white rice are equally difficult to overeat on, whereas ice cream with its combined hit of sugar and fat is easy to gorge on.
In addition to the heart benefits listed in the report, I've read reports which conclude that a low-carb diet is also very beneficial for regulating blood sugar levels (and reducing diabetes risk).

However, I think it might have been interesting to read more about the risks of a low-carb diet. For instance, some studies have shown that low-carb diets can reduce testosterone levels in men and I've also read that it could hurt short-term cognitive skills.

It is also unclear if the study involved (mostly) refined carbohydrates or complex carbohydrates. Obviously, the effect of complex carbohydrates is very different.

There are a number of studies regarding low-carb diets but most of them tend to focus on a subset of the results that one might see from a low-carb diet. So a smart strategy would be to read many of these reports and then decide what makes sense (though it isn't going to be easy for a layperson to read a wide range of different reports and draw the best conclusion on what is good for them)
In the USA at least, a lot of factories can give tours if you have a friend who works there. For example, you could tour the SpaceX rocket factory in Hawthorne, CA, which is AWESOME.
True, nuts were a good choice. Unfortunately the cashews and almonds supplied at my office were all unsalted and I couldn't be bothered to buy my own for the brief trial.
Hi Teddy!

I’m curious what evidence you have that ties these login attempts to the CyberVor (1.2bn) hacked credentials database specifically?

Given that (to my knowledge) none of the data from this database has yet been leaked publicly, couldn’t the credentials being used for these attacks be coming just as easily from any number of sources, or previously-disclosed databases (Adobe, LinkedIn, Forbes, etc.)?

Just trying to distinguish “what we know” from “what we suspect”, here. Thanks!
Pretty much. You could probably come up with a diet that says you're not allowed to eat anything starting with a letter in the first half of the alphabet, and anyone who stuck to it would lose weight, because all of a sudden they'd be thinking carefully about what they ate rather than eating whatever took their fancy at any given moment.

Sticking to these diets is the hardest thing. I spent a few months on a paleo diet and got a bunch healthier, but it was really hard to find things to eat, and pretty expensive as well. I don't think dietary changes are worth it unless you can reasonably stick to them for the rest of your life, and anything that says "no X ever again" is likely to fall into that category.
Be great if there could be the data rates / current speed on the graph > traffic view. That's one thing I am missing - takes too long to figure out which app is doing something.

There's some saying that using a metric for control causes it to lose all useful correlations. (Ie you can only optimize what you measure, but once you optimize, you can no longer trust the measurement.)
Nuts are hardly our saviors. Most nuts are expensive & environmentally unfriendly. Which is not to say you shouldn't eat some nuts, but they can hardly step in as a global staple.
i have worked for a start-up and feel like I was taken advantage of. However, if I could extract a reasonable paycheck I would love to work at one for ~6 months (if it was a decent opportunity) because you learn so much that if I could survive on the paycheck, the learning experience would be worth it as a first job. You also work on multiple projects so you have a few deliverables to point to on exit. Instead of saying, me and 5 people made a trivial change to some widget you get to actually contribute a lot more because there is a low power distance between supervisors, and a lot more work to go around with many less people to do it.
Yup, and apparently everyone has a degree in nutrition and go on to tell you that what you're doing is wrong and what they think you should do is right.

Isn't that what a maquiladora [1] is?

I know this is just anecdotal coincidence (and not really that interesting to most people other than myself) but today when I weighed myself I had my ideal body weight for the first time in my life. This is after following a low carb diet for six months and losing 50 pounds... so throw another vote in the "yes, low carb seems to be effective" bucket. The findings in this article are certainly music to my ears.

(Here is the version I followed http://fourhourworkweek.com/2007/04/06/how-to-lose-20-lbs-of...)
Once it stops getting software updates, its life is effectively over- that long-life PC's life ended years ago. People keep going with old hardware for different reasons.

If they enjoy the challenge of maintaining old machines past their expiration date and don't mind dealing with the annoyances, then that is a total geek thing for sure (not that there's anything wrong with that). People doing this understand and accept the challenges of doing this, and usually don't go around complaining about it.

If they can't afford a replacement, there's always the "just put Linux on there" option, but it's unfortunate that they can't just get a new machine. This rarely seems to be the case in these discussions though, at least on HN.

The most common non-nerd reason for clinging to unsupported hardware seems to be self-defeating stubbornness or cheapness, where the person feels a compulsion to keep it going "for the principle of the thing", where it's almost like they're doing it out of spite. If they want to do this to themselves, fine, but it doesn't make it any less self-inflicted.
100 calories of nuts or broccoli costs a whole lot more than 100 calories of bread or rice, and this is reflective of the greater agricultural demands of pretty much everything else versus bread and rice.
Man, unsalted cashews are delicious! Try getting used to the lack of salt.
Here's the original article instead of the blog:

http://www.popsci.com/article/technology/mysterious-phony-ce...

It's equally devoid of content that doesn't consist of telling us how CryptoPhone 500 [tm?] is awesome because it can detect these false towers.
Sadly, that only clears device errors. Tried it with no change.

Those are just stingrays though, right? It's unclear as the article says towers but doesn't say whether anyone has actually seen a tower, only that they've detected attacks through their secure android phones.

If this is just a report of stingray use it should come as no surprise that they are in widespread use & that non-targeted phones latch on to the signals.
Both ssh and mosh use a ptty on the remote device, but this doesn't provide scrollback itself, just a fixed size window where you can see some previous commands. Scrollback is a property purely of the local terminal.

Though after doing some research, it seems mosh skips some intermediate states when large amounts of lines are printed, causing them not to be sent to the client. This would cause the observed behaviour of no scrollback in the local terminal.
How do you think the existence of the very poor who don't work affects the poor who do? Useful dimensions to consider are wage expectations, bargaining power with employers, the rational fear of being fired or branded a troublemaker and its consequences and so on...

It probably doesn't benefit "the rich" but it sure benefits those specific businesses relying on cheap labour with an interest in driving its cost down.

It also benefits those getting very rich indeed from the illegal drug trade, like JFK's Father did when alcohol was an illegal drug (which is what bootlegging is after all, drug running/pushing where the illegal drug was alcohol). Such people care little for the social consequences of gaining their wealth.

The illegal drug trade also entrenches corruption in politics and legal system. Such corruption and the acceptance of it does not work in favour of those without resources. Those with resources and flexible morals it does benefit.

Curious if you could name one food that was particularly difficult to cut out.
I hate hierarchical filesystems.

A lot of my older files, sadly, are stored in "SORT/Sort Me/To be sorted/Old computer/Sort again/Miscellaneous..." and the like. My server has an mlocate index, so I'll use mlocate, and I'll use find sometimes. I make sure to preserve metadata like last-modified/created dates, so I can use that to narrow things down.

Newer stuff, I try to keep a bit more organized, but I still have lots of unmanaged stuff floating around. For big projects, or big files, that's easy enough; my photos are sorted into a Y/M/D hierarchy, my VHS digitization projects are fairly well organized, some other things have their own structure. For my scanned documents, I just dump them all into a mess of folders, but then have a custom Django app with a management command that indexes them and gives me a nice "document management" website, and then I just search based on OCR'd text or title or date.

I really hate hierarchical filesystems. After using computers for this long, I'm convinced that hierarchy-optional, metadata-driven stuff is the only future I'll be happy in. I long for the ability to save things without really having to say anything about where it's saved, and still be able to find it... So, sorry, I don't think I have a satisfactory answer for you, as I don't think there's a good solution to this problem as long as we have filesystems where the organizational primative is a hierarchy. Even with tag-based systems that build on top of that, it's usually clunky and you still fundamentally have to figure out where to save something "first", even if you plan to access it via tag/metadata later. Such a pain.
I found that losing weight using a low-carb diet was pretty easy. After the adjustement period of about two weeks you suddenly start feeling much less hungry and the portions you eat become smaller. You are essentially losing weight without feeling hungry at all which is terrific. The only problem is that a very strict low-carb diet can be a bit monotonous with the type of foods you are "allowed" to eat and can be hard to follow if you don't have the time or patience to actually cook food for yourself.
How healthcare hackathons are returning medicine to its roots
Its weird that this pops up on HN because I have been trying a low carb diet for the last 2.5 weeks (with quite a bit of success). I have run into the same issue as you in regards to snacking. The best snack I found was flavored almonds. They are about 4 carbs an ounce and come in a bunch of flavors (coconut is my favorite).

I have had a huge sweet tooth my whole life but I find the thing that I crave the most is fruit (I know fruit is sweet but not like ice-cream and candy). I've always ate a ton of apples and now that I can't I am craving them like crazy. Also, no bread is really hard, especially since good whole wheat bread seems so healthy and is so satisfying, and it limits your options for most meals like pizza and sandwiches.

I hear a lot of knee-jerk reactions about the diet saying how it must be awesome to just eat steak, chicken, etc. all the time, but it gets real old real fast. Without bread/buns, bbq source, and common high carb toppings, it become really repetitive. Cheeseburgers are amazing but they are a hell of a lot less appealing with no bun, onions, tomato, or ketchup.

All this being said I do not see keto or whatever you want to call it as a long term diet/lifestyle for me. I have been convinced that I used to eat way too many carbs, but I think I just need to balance my meals more and do some portion control. Eating no more than like 20 carbs a day is really hard and for me it affects the quality of my life too much. But, I totally understand that there are people out there where this diet is basically the only thing that works for them, so I think it's awesome that more people are at least trying it.
My initial thought after seeing this is Windows support is interesting, but the real value is in making bash friendlier. Something that brings syntactic sugar to bash is welcome in my mind, as I always find myself putzing with Google to find solutions to even slightly non-trivial scripts.

Perhaps I should just master bash scripting once and for all (I know it's not that complex), but I generally find it unpleasant to do anything that requires control flow or traditional "programming language logic" in bash.

A simple way to bootstrap the compiler with the script itself would be especially nice. Basically, an embedded batsh compiler. Might be an interesting avenue for an enterprising person to look into.
People often recommend nuts and jerky, but I don't find them to be satisfying and I'm hungry again fairly soon. For my daily snack at work, I really like Chocolate Brownie Quest Nutrition Bars. They are high in fiber, and if you eat one with some water it keeps me going for 3-4 more hours. I've tried a lot of alternatives, and these are the best I've found: http://www.amazon.com/Quest-Nutrition-Protein-Chocolate-Brow...
> That's important, but nothing we don't already know.

There is a lot of people who debate this point, having a study back it up is useful.
Even rice is a substantial improvement in glycemic index over refined wheat and sugars. If it does turn out that empty carbs are a major public health problem, there are incremental improvements that can be made all over the world regardless of poverty.
I've did low carb a few years ago to lose some weight and I'm on it again now to burn off the effects of free startup food over the summer. Here's what I've found as far as snacking is concerned:

Jerky: a standby but actually it often has more carbs than you'd think -- one 3oz package usually has 12-15g of carbs, which is around 3/4ths of my ideal consumption for a day.

Nuts: almonds are the best, but others work too.

Cheese: cheese sticks make a great on-the-go snack, you can find them in a lot of gas stations. I also will do cured meats + cheese when I want an easy dinner, though it's a tad expensive.

Pork Rinds: good for when you're craving something like chips. I sometimes dip them in salsa.

Veggies: some low-carb folks have success snacking on celery and carrots, but I have difficulty at times.

But, to be honest, a lot of my problems with eating in the past involved snacking. I eat when I feel like eating, rather than when I'm actually hungry, and so my eating habits become tied to emotions rather than biological needs. And once I start eating sweets, I don't stop until I feel sick. Having fewer options makes it easier to abstain, as you said. However, did you actually feel hungry/need to snack often when you were eating low carb? I rarely feel hunger between meals like I did when I was eating carbs regularly.

My goal with low carb is to get my habits back to the point where I no longer eat because I'm bored or because it's in front of me. I'm also cutting out artificial sweeteners this time around to try and reduce my sweet tooth (last time I drank tons and tons of diet soda, but I'm finding that seltzer/club soda is an acceptable substitute) (I also heard that sweet tastes produce an insulin response regardless of actual sugar content).

I'm not sure what the possibilities of your particular system are, but GNU/Linux systems, i my opinion, do a a fantastic job of letting all kinds of systems use the latest and greatest browsers. I remember running Debian on a tangerine clamshell iBook a couple years ago.

Looks like even the latest Debian 7 is supported.

Hi amarcus, an interesting point on the pricing.

We felt that pricing based on data usage was a more effective means of managing cost than amount of feedback, but we will definitely review this internally. Thank you.
So are we really supposed to install OCaml and compile it or do we use it as a hosted service? I can see that you just post a batsh script and specify your output, but I don't know if that's intended for public consumption. Otherwise this just looks like a POC.
Refined carbohydrates are not a problem. Sugar, potatoes, properly prepared white flour, and white rice are excellent food choices. In fact they are superior choices to foods like whole grains and beans, which tend to have allergens and antinutrients like phytic acid and trypsin inhibitors.

Anyway, any apparent epidemiological advantages to avoiding animal products in the industrialized world come down to two things. 1) The meat is mostly garbage; you have to consider only grass fed. 2) People are eating large amounts of muscle meat to the exclusion of the organ meats and connective tissue. This results in a chronic excess of tryptophan and a major deficiency of glycine. Iron overload is also a problem with eating too much muscle meat. A diet of steaks and chicken breasts without eating the rest of the animals is totally unnatural.

Dairy doesn't have these problems of low quality meat and too much muscle meat. Vegetarian with high dairy intake is an excellent nutritional choice.
The reddit thread, you mean? Are we calling those articles now?

The vegetarian thing does not folow. Just because keto/atkins/paleo works, doesn't mean anything else works. Nothing is better than the low calorie diet.
At any rate if the FCC doesn't get involved we know who to point the finger to.
Stingrays and private-owned devices. I suspect some are responsible for the text ads that pop up occasionally on my handset.
What does the proprietary secure phone do to detect these things? Can I get an app to alert me if I connect to a stingray-type device?
"Keto" and "paleo / low carb" are different. Keto goes to the extreme, allowing almost zero carbs, to induce ketosis in your body. Paleo is more "no grain, no dairy, no legume", but fruits are still allowed and encouraged for providing natural, sweet-tooth-satisfying carbs.
I've lost about 130 since last September and I took a 2 month period off from a low carb diet to see whether I could maintain my weight. Am now 30 pounds from my goal weight and I weigh less than I did after my freshman year of college (which was over a decade ago). I don't see carbs as necessarily the enemy, but it's a bit disheartening when you start paying attention to nutrition labels and see all the foods with added sugar. I tend to avoid the middle aisles of grocery stores, but even the outer aisles have products full of hidden sugars.

> Cheeseburgers are amazing but they are a hell of a lot less appealing with no bun, onions, tomato, or ketchup

This is true, but honestly the only one of those you really need to cut out is the bun. The onions and tomato add up to 2-3g of carbs, and the ketchup is another 4g, so the whole burger in a lettuce wrap would be 6-7g of carbs, not at all bad for a meal! For reference, I use myfitnesspal to keep track of my food consumption and to research carb/calorie counts.

> Eating no more than like 20 carbs a day is really hard and for me it affects the quality of my life too much

Would 50g be more sustainable? Or 100g? From what I've seen, the 20g limit is mostly an introductory phase. 50g is still a huge reduction from what most people consume on a daily basis.
One of the advantages of being a total nobody is that I don't have these sorts of problems with Twitter.

You can have saturated fats on a plant diet: coconut and palm oil, for example. (These are even used in infant formula, incidentally).

There are animals that eat plants rather than other animals: they are called herbivores. Herbivores somehow develop muscles.

We can't eat exactly like herbivores. Herbivores eat grass and leaves in huge quantities and have the digestive system for it: they can get enough protein and overall calories that way.

Still, we can achieve a given number of calories and a desired fraction of them from protein and fat, using vegetable sources.
Yep, and there will never be a world where we all eat the same thing. Let the poor eat wheat.

Paleo is pretty affordable at the lower-middle class, if you're willing to put the effort in and cook. My biggest hurdle is how easy unhealthy stuff is.
