Excerpt:

So the scientists looked for which processes were being most notably intensified in their PGC-1alpha1-rich mice. They found one in particular, involving a substance called kynurenine that accumulates in human and animal bloodstreams after stress. Kynurenine can pass the blood-brain barrier and, in animal studies, has been shown to cause damaging inflammation in the brain, leading, it is thought, to depression.

But in the mice with high levels of PGC-1alpha1, the kynurenine produced by stress was set upon almost immediately by another protein expressed in response to signals from the PGC-1alpha1. This protein changed the kynurenine, breaking it into its component parts, which, interestingly, could not pass the blood-brain barrier.

I imagine this is hardly the whole story, but it is interesting that they were able to identify a specific component. Something else that I would think is relevant is that the lymphatic system is dramatically sped up during exercise. It is pumped by you working your muscles rather than by your circulatory system, even though it is kind of part of your circulatory system (because lymph is basically fluid from the blood but with major blood components removed). (Though the brain has a separate mechanism: It moves lymph when you sleep.)
I didn't think the NSA would be hopelessly humiliated by a lone syadmin currently residing in Russia to protect himself from a lack of due process, but here we are.
You say "Google sees your real credit card number".

(I'll address the rest later)

Somebody sees the credit card number, even in token based systems, even if it's only for a moment to acquire a token.

In other words, either Apple stills sees it while it acquires a payment token, or someone does to issue the payment token, as it's the only mechanism that identifies the account number to get a token for. The tokenization specification has a whole section on what identification and verification should be taking place to ensure the "primary account number" (credit card number) that the payment token is replacing is one the user has authorization for.

So let's focus on the "stores and charges". Yes, Google stores and charges your primary account number. This is just because Google happens to be the one doing the payment processing.
Even in a token based system, again, somebody on the other side knows what real primary account number (credit card number) this token links back up to so they know what to subtract money from. The token based stuff is not an full anonymization protocol, it's mainly a way to securely avoid transmitting and storing credit card info to/by random merchants. In that respect, the virtual credit card numbers provide the same protection. They are one time use, and interception or storage by the merchant can not harm you.
Secondarily, the payment tokens are also a way to reduce the number of networks your credit card number goes over, when used properly. The virtual credit card numbers perform the same function here too.

The person who knows in either system is usually your payment processor (though in case it isn't, it's possible for the tokens to be used there too. however, nothing in Apple Pay currently guarantees this happens with the tokens). Since that is google here, it makes sense they would have the primary account data to do the lookup.

If you are expecting tokens to replace credit card numbers all the way to the issuing bank, you are sorely mistaken. The lookup happens much earlier than that.

The TL;DR is that virtual credit card numbers are in fact, a method of tokenization. The only reason they went with "token" is because they don't have to be credit card numbers, and because not all virtual credit card implementations have the same guarantees.

In any case, if you want fully tokenized systems, those have existed too, just not en masse.
Sure maybe there are things that you hate about certain exercises that are unrelated to intensity or hard-work. But I was mostly responding to how the original commenter said running was boring. IMO it is virtually impossible to be bored with running simply because the pain involved is too high.

I find that the people who say running is boring are people who never pushed themselves to the intensity required for effective exercise/running. They probably ran a mile and got bored. I tell them run at least 5 miles on hilly terrain and tell me if you're bored when you're done.
I would second Private Internet Access. They have a shitty billing system (need to cancel your current account if you want to switch to a yearly plan), but it I've found it Just Works(TM). Really happy with their service.

Divine Revelation of God's Holiness and Judgement by Michael Sambo-Chapter # 1
My distant but intense interest in the future of hybrid apps just took a nosedive. Do you know if any of the major players (Phonegap, CocoonJS, etc) implement the web server approach? It doesn't seem too difficult, but it sure must be a hassle.
No, the tokenization spec has just been released and Apple Pay is the first (large scale) implementation. Tokenization is a combo of a token bound to a device, a one-time signature made through a secret store in a non-readable chip, and a personal authentication of the person through a non-static code.
This is very true. A corporate trainer once told me there's specific kinds of learners. They've actually identified each type, and which specific methodologies you need to reach each one. The best teachers find a way to synthesize it all into an effective single presentation. (This may also be why tutors are so helpful -- they can customize their material to the audience...)
I believe that math is something a lot of people can learn and become effective at using, way more than Americans currently believe about themselves.

I think it all comes down to making sure people understand the actual abstractions and concepts rather than formulas and rote learning. The advantage of math is that you can figure stuff out using what you already know, without having to learn every little detail - while that's impossible in other subjects, such as history.

The missing piece is, in fact, granularity and feedback. And real world studies support my position:

> Who are we to make such decisions?

We have to make these decisions all the time whenever we vote or suggest perspectives to influence friends and acquaintances about one public policy or another. If we don't make the decisions, someone else will, and it matters for things like how we respond to acts of terrorism, road safety laws, funding for the treatment of diseases, and so on. And ignoring the moral weightiness of the decisions doesn't remove the consequences or our responsibility for ourselves as a society.

> On a personal note, I don't believe in this "removal of empathy" idea that's been tossed around by a few psychologists. If psychopaths are effectively those people who lack empathy, then who shall we become if we throw it to the wayside?

The author suggested that cultivating compassion for others without choosing to imagine the experience of suffering their pain may be a better way to help other people. He uses some examples of Buddhists who choose to devote their lives to helping other people--they avoid experiencing empathic attachment because it burns them out, which would defeat their entire purpose. So if we throw empathy to the wayside, we might become more like Buddhist monks, if you want to read into it that way. The author proposes moderation more than extremes one way or the other, though; he recognizes that some degree of empathy is health in relating to other people.

Anecdotally, I agree with the author's perspectives because of my own experiences. For the past year I had a close family member who was hospitalized and continuously in pain. It was really impossible to allow myself to empathize strongly with her every time I saw her, because it would have been too psychologically exhausting to continue visiting on a regular basis.

Anyway, I always just uploaded a screengrab of what I wanted anyway.

A business like JPMorgan will have a large number of systems, with different segments of their data copied around, synchronized (sometimes poorly), partial data dumps to the marketing department, etc. I imagine that the systems containing sensitive data were better protected than the ones that are known to be compromised, with no known vector of attack from the compromised system to the one containing the information.

For example, at a small financial institution where I worked we had a mainframe doing the important financial calculations, and then we had a bunch more data in MySQL for doing reporting and analysis.
I think freelancing equips you with other skills (knowledge of the Big Three financial statements, ability to work independently, relevant laws, how to value a company etc) that will prove beneficial when it comes time to start a company.

I'm glad to see the article, but if you're interested in the effects of physical exercise over the brain in general - not only depression, but brain development, neuronal growth, memory retention, degenerative brain diseases - you should read "Spark: The Revolutionary New Science of Exercise and the Brain" [1].

It's a great book, summarizing all the studies and discoveries around brain health and the link with body biochemistry and exercise over the past 50 years. Not the typical common wisdom of "exercise is good for you", but a more serious and deep analysis of why it is good, and what exactly it does to your brain, at a biochemical level.

As a person that always knew how much exercise is important for the body - but always hated exercising - this book gave a reason to pause and re-think my priorities.

If you care about your brain, read at least the sample chapters and see if you like it.

This is the first time I have seen the KiCad library on github, that would presumably make sharing generated footprints and parts easier. For the board I produced of in 2011, I shared my library on sourceforge as a zip with no clear installation directions. I mostly learned KiCad from David Jones nice tutorial[1].

I'll check out KiCad in a few days to see how easy it is to share a design with someone else, to see with the latest version if library parts can be easily shared. Thanks for the links and helpful suggestions of consulting the IRC channel for support, I wouldn't have considered the IRC channel.

To the OP, have you seen Pictureframes.com? I ask, because if you spend a few minutes here:

http://www.pictureframes.com/personal-frame-shop/set-size

... you can quote a custom frame for a 20x16" print, with no mat, a black wood 7/8" frame, and "standard glazing" (which by that, I presume you mean acrylic) for $61.55.

If the effort is just to be inexpensive, I think long-time online custom retailers like pictureframes, and related (whom I've been buying my frames and mats from for years) may be able to beat you there. Certainly, if I switch to a metal frame, the price starts dropping.

Now, if you're focusing on a better user experience, that could certainly use some improving with existing sites, but I don't know that you're really disrupting the price of online custom frames?
Tim here. I figure HN is the best place to post first about Loggur, given that without HN, I would not have made it this far. I also hope you all see the usefulness of Loggur as clearly as I do.

Loggur honestly took entirely too long to build, and I can't take any of that time back now, but I've always felt in my gut since the beginning that this is one of those cases that requires it to work well from the beginning. Otherwise, it stands no chance of succeeding.

I imagine many of you will disagree with my approach, so don't hold back. Any and all constructive criticism is welcome. That's the only way it can improve.

I also apologize for the lack of documentation and how unintuitive it probably is to most people. After working on it for so long, the primary goal over the past few months was getting it out the door. As I mention in my first blog post, the next goal is to help developers see how easy Loggur really is, but I will of course need feedback to make that happen.

I'm also interested to see how everything holds up under real world load, so if by some chance this hits the front page and the server buckles, I'll make a typical technical blog post explaining the ins and outs of what I do to fix it. The server's only purpose is to act as a RESTful (probably debatable by many) API using only Node and Redis with Primus + SockJS, nothing else. Everything else is handled on the client. I also haven't yet really done any real optimization, as that would probably fall under premature optimization, so yeah it should be interesting.

Last thing: Please check the "Suggestions" link in the footer to see what all I'm currently planning on working on. And feel free to add your own.

"claims that make no sense like "it may very well be the safest way to make any type of credit card payment" yeah, except those dozens of other identical systems we already have, and have had for at least a year!"

Pause for a second and believe me when I say that you are very wrong.

Virtual, one-time use credit card numbers are very different from the EMVCo tokenization specification that Apple Pay implements. These differences have important security and privacy implications.

Apple Pay is literally the safest way to use a credit card today. Read the specification if you don't understand why this is true.

The amount of nasty personal attacks I've attracted for the mistake of asking a question on HN has ensured I won't be making it again for a long time. Personal attacks are not allowed on HN, but that hasn't stopped you from calling me a person who is being obtuse and disingenuous. Did you ever stop to consider that I am ignorant of these matters, as I have said at least three times now? I don't know if you're having a bad day or what.

Imagine if I had asked a newbie programming question, after admitting to and apologizing for being a newbie programmer, and you'd responded as you did here. Would you be okay with that? Just because the topic is politics, suddenly it's totally okay to insult?

> Real Exercise isn't about finding something you simply enjoy and love.

Unless you find exercise that you also simply enjoy and love. That's even better. I love rock climbing and do not consider it boring. Climbing is painful, especially when I climb with friends that encourage me to push myself, but pain does not prevent it from being interesting and fun.

> It is very intense work

Yup

> and something that you need to learn to love; kind of like programming.

I didn't need to learn to love climbing just like I didn't need to learn to love programming. I did need to learn to push through the boring parts of programming (such as fixing my build environment which I should be doing right now) but the fundamental act of programming (building something out of logic) has always interested me. Just as I push through the boring parts of programming I push through the pain of climbing.

I think those of us who aren't a fan of "memorize/repeat" is that it is extremely inefficient. And you lose as many people as you gain.

The classic example is long division. In elementary school I did a thousand long division problems, but I never understood it. I just knew the pattern. I didn't really know the math. It wasn't until much later did I learn how and why it worked. Having done those thousand problems didn't really help my understanding at all. And honestly, it's not a skill I use today.

Rote learning is useful when what you memorize is useful in itself. Learning what 2+2 is useful, but because adding 2 to another small number, including itself, is something you do a lot.

Addition/times tables are great because the scope of numbers is something you will run across a lot of day to day. A thousand long division (or multiplication) problems is just rote work for little benefit. It's better to teach the concepts, and then build on them.
This should be the norm for a couple of reasons:

* There are still people that believe free-of-cost software cannot be high quality, which is likely a result of the well known relationship between price and perceived quality.

* If open-source developers are paid for their work, there will be more open-source software.

Interesting recent discussion on reddit about this: https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/2hvtuc/dear_gnome_i_...
I recently (naively) dug into it to try and understand where it's magic comes from. I was under the impression that it also gets strength by flipping back and forth between F2 and Z+. Where AND and XOR are linear in F2, they're nonsense in Z+, where addition in Z+ is nonsense in F2 (not to forget the whole mod 2^32 part).

Is that actually true or did I just bs myself?
Wow. Thanks for that tidbit
