>Normal exercise will not cause weight loss

What do you define "normal exercise" as? You cannot break the 2nd law of thermodynamics: if you calories in is less than your calories burned you must lose weight.
There's a pretty big perceptual and practical difference between environmental hazards and sentient, active, adversaries.
I'm an immigrant (Europe) and I don't have issues with US not making it easier for me to immigrate. Neither I nor my ancestors built this country, paid taxes (well, until I came here), etc., so it's hard to blame the country for anything that it didn't do for me.
A good friend participated in what I think was a pilot program for this a year ago. The Italian govn't sponsored an incubator in Trento, invited entrepreneurs from all over the world to come participate... and then promptly fumbled the visa and business paperwork so badly that a good number of participants packed up and went home early.

I can't remember the details exactly but apparently the visa troubles and business registration red tape made the whole program something of a joke
Some things he says in this video bug me.

1. "Printing money doesn't always cause inflation." --
Printing money causes inflation under all cases unless money is literally destroyed at the same rate it is printed.

A loan temporarily inflates the economy until it is paid off. By replacing credit with printed money you turn the "temporary inflation" into permanent inflation.

2. "Increase your productivity faster then your income." --
Are you kidding me? I can't speak for everyone but most people in society want to be rich and well off. That means achieving income that is far greater then what is humanly productive. Even Elon Musk as hard working as he is cannot achieve his level of income off of his own productivity alone. He had to build his wealth off the shoulders of others (aka employees). By telling people to be productive for less income he's basically telling people to work harder and don't ask for a raise.

If you're not being paid an income equivalent to the amount of work you do, then the extra value generated by your work will, of course, go to your employer. This increases income disparity and decreases consumer buying power.

Here's what I advise instead: Increase your productivity but demand that your income increases at the same rate. Be paid what you're worth. It helps the economy.

3. He fails to elucidate where income comes from and thus fails to model one very important aspect of the economy: The money cycle. The economy isn't just income coming out of thin air to facilitate transactions of product and services. Money moves in a cycle, it flows from employer to employee as wages then back to the employer when the employee pays for products. The total amount of money cycling through the economy would otherwise be fixed if it wasn't for loans and money printing.
My company works a four-day week, and it's excellent. Note that the transition from five to four days has the most pleasure impact (+50% weekend) for the least work cost (-20% work). The next two transitions – 4->3 and 3->2 – would be a lot harder. But I'd love to make it to three days a week, when you work fewer days than you relax.
Yeah, it also seems to me people hear "diet and exercise" as if the second part was somehow optional :(
Could you elaborate on that? Switzerland is not part of the EU, so how would that help?
When your doctor is untrained, and you might do as well a job (or better) yourself, the conclusion is not to do the job yourself, but to get a competent doctor. Sure, that might not always be an option, but you should follow this principle as long as you are able.

Anyway, you’re talking about individual doctors; I was talking about the medical establishment as a whole, and in particular the FDA (or their local equivalent) and the medical scientists who do the studies upon which the FDA’s decisions are based. I have more faith in these sorts of institutions than any single random GP doctor – I don’t let my views on them tar the whole system with doubt.

> It should be no surprise that smart and motivated people can, in specific and limited circumstances, do better than that very low bar.

Yes, there are exceptions to every rule. But everyone believes themselves to be the exception, so you can’t trust your own opinion.
journaling generally interferes with dump(8). It seems odd that they would be using dump to do backups though, since they are virtualizing the OS.

The parent link to gjournal is weird too, since gjournal is not the same as softupdates w/journaling (SU+J). It makes me wonder if they actually disabled softupdates too.

Offline access, and multi account support for both POP3 and IMAP accounts - one interface that is well designed and much faster. Saving tons of time - speeding up the process of emailing with features like quick reply, quick compose, in-line reply, speed reader, linkedin lookup for business relationships and the apps are awesome. And I can just turn on the ones I want - so it is also customized for my email usage needs to foster a productive work flow.

Yes, good point. I would certainly lead a 5.14 knowing I'd fall before I'd lead a 5.11 with a 40' runout. :)

To answer beachstartup's question though, I'd say confidently that all else being equal, a 5.14 climber is more elite than a 5.11 climber who has good mental fortitude.
Always be careful in these types of situations. Do you remember signing a non-compete with your current company?

If you see value ie. through a monetary sense OR another, I would speak to a employment Lawyer to make sure you can't get in trouble. Last thing you want is being sued for what your company lost in revenue + all other expenses.

You must have some great talent id this other guy wants you as co-founder, keep up the good work.
And again - "appear to".

They appear to? There's armies you could lose in the gaps of interpretation words like that allow.

'Appear to' covers everything from "NSA and DRBG mentioned in same document" to definitely not a statement like "the Dual EC-DRBG private key has not proven sufficiently useful in recovering useful intelligence and we're discontinuing the program" or some such.

"Artificial colors, preservatives etc... There's no good reason to eat these ingredients"

Sure there is. Artificial colors make food more attractive, which is an important part of the esthetic experience of eating. Don't believe me? Try blending all your meals up into a gray goo and see what that does for your eating enjoyment. Nutritionally it would be the same, but esthetically you'd be eating something that looked like vomit.

Preservatives keep it from going bad, which is a major health issue in most of the world. The "no preservatives" lifestyle is a luxury that is, in general, only available to those with high-tech western lifestyles. Other than very locally and very recently, people have been eating food with loaded with preservatives (including, most prominently, salt, but also sugar, nitrates, nitrites, lactic acid, benzoates, smoke...) for a long, long time.
It's like owning your 10th or 15th laptop when many are on their 3rd to 6th.

That should be illegal, plain and simple.
unless they have a 0% stake, your point is moot.
And that should be obvious, too. Mercenaries aren't supported explicitly by any state, so they only fight where they're guaranteed to win, and they tend to be prosecuted for offenses official soldiers will not be prosecuted. They're not covered under most of the Geneva conventions, either.

Also, most of the people being labeled mercenaries these days aren't mercenaries. There's a big difference between people you hire to fight a battle and people you hire for base or convoy security.
I think he/she means that normal exercise, or rather the typical amount of exercise that people do, is insufficient to burn the calories in a normal diet. So while the exercise you do is healthy, you shouldn't be expecting weight loss, though at the same time you should expect less weight gain (which I wouldn't consider as weight loss).
The most important part of this whole presentation is that credit drives everything. If you know how credit is coming into the economy you can anticipate credit cycles. Credit cycles are the only thing you have to keep your eye on in order to keep from getting destroyed in economic crashes.

The credit cycle stuff is well explained by Austrian Business Cycle Theory[1], but that's a brain bender and once you get it will make you totally unable to have an economics conversation with anybody who doesn't understand it either.

Private armies aren't new. The very term "company" was originated as an organized, private, group of men under arms.

I haven't read _The Modern Mercenary_, but it sounds a bit myopic. For example, calling out potential actions in africa ignores 50 years of PMC work there. As far as proliferation in the last 25 years ... I suppose we've seen in increase in "market share" of defense dollars spent. Off hand I'd have to say mid century african bush wars and the 1990's "executive outcomes" era were notable for having tangible results. Most of the 2000s mid east work seemed like cash grabs shrouded in "outsourced logistics" work.

I'd definitely recommend PW Singers _Corporate Warriors_ for a thorough history of private force. http://www.amazon.com/Corporate-Warriors-Privatized-Military...
Step 3: Turn ignores UIDH headers originating from non-Verizon IPs and Verizon replaces any user-generated UIDH header.

Your solution is not going to fool anyone.
Your body can regulate your appetite and your calorie spending to a certain degree, e.g. people who exercise often eat more afterwards, which negates the calorie burning effect (but it can also lead to changes in body composition: Fat is replaced by muscles).
C++ Complexity and Testing
I grew up in Farmington and lived in Las Cruces and Albuquerque. Spent some time in Ruidoso as well, as my uncle is a pipefitter and helped redo the Inn.

It's still hard to explain to people what living in a place like Roswell or Farmington is like. Both places swing up and down according to oil prices. both are big enough to have just barely what you might want or need, but not much more. More importantly, they are their own big cities. And that's the thing that people don't get: When the nearest (modest) cultural mass is at least three hours away, you don't live anywhere near an interstate, and every other town is an order of magnitude smaller, everybody tends to stay put and things get insular (not necessarily in a bad way though) and weird.

I've gotten in arguments about this before from people who claimed they grew up in smaller towns, but the key difference is those small towns aren't their own isolated islands. I liked growing up there as a kid, but I'd take a small town of 2000 people an hour away from a major city over the Ruidosos and Farmingtons in a heartbeat.

On the other hand, the desert was literally our playground as a kid, and that's an amazing thing to grow up with.

BTW: Lots of great astronomy still happens around Cloudcroft if you ever get up there.
I didn't really visit the old Digg but I visit the new Digg daily and I know of a few others in the same position. Might not be your thing, but it's clean and regular/predictable so I can see how it would attract a new audience.

If you are referring to B2C startups, that is because users are far more valuable than code.
Of course you can do things like macros, but it's ugly and becomes unreadable the more you add to the code. Structure initializers grow and expand more gracefully than anything c++ has.

What does this line do?

Widget *w = new Button("Press me", true, true, false, 0, 0, 0, NULL, callback, 10);

Yes, you can fix that by defining special true/false enums for each of the options, or you can do something reasonable:

struct Button b = { .title="Press Me", .enabled=true,
.visible=true, .expand=false
.x=0, .y=0, .width=10, .z_index=0,
.handler=callback };

I love the array ones, but they're most useful for static look-up tables, and those are usually size constrained:

void (*command[256])() = { ['H'] = command_help,
['S'] = command_start
['s'] = command_stop };

I like that a lot but I definitely use it less than the structure initializers.

I hear people tout default values as a real important feature, but I've worked on large projects where backward compatibility was important, and it was almost always possible to encode the value in such a way that zero meant "default". This allows you to add new members to structures easily and anyone that doesn't set them gets the default value. It may sound hokey but it works extremely well in practice. I never once wished for default values when I was doing large C99 projects.

> I would say obesity implies inactivity

It most definitely does not.

You can be obese and active if your body weight setpoint is off - after activity you are simply very hungry and eat.

The two things have some overlap but one does not imply the other in either direction.
Mercenaries don't fight pitched battles. Mercenaries will go home or even switch sides if it looks like they may take nontrivial losses, which is why nobody likes to rely on them.
Hmm... garbage doesn't work beause they override the UIDH as a MitM. So maybe this fact could be exploited in the opposite direction:

Start using the X-UIDH: header for some prominent but non-mission-critical feature in a format that is obviously not related to this tracking number. When Verizon rewrites the header, that feature breaks, and you can make a fuss about it in the media or sue Verizon for breaking your webpage.

(it sounds good on paper; this may not work in practice)
That on-leave out-of-office tip seems completely wrong to me. That's the culture you are trying to "save"?

If someone needs you badly enough to interrupt your hiking trip, then they probably know your phone number already, and can judge whether it is important enough to interrupt you, contact someone else, or wait.

Generally when you get back from leave, your inbox is full of ephemeral out of date crap, and it is totally inefficient to wade through it all.

A friend of mine used to have in his (internal) out of office reply:

I will delete all my emails upon return except for those with the word "RELEVANT" in the title. If I need to deal with this upon return, please re-send it with "RELEVANT" in the title.

If it was important enough, people re-sent it. A little extreme, but it worked for him.
What to do after having taught yourself programming in ten years
OK, I can think of a few ways they might do this (DNS tricks and per-user IPv6 addresses, <src ip, src port, dst ip, dst port> => user mapping). These all seem significantly more complex than HTTP header injection though.

Jekyll Snippets
Thank you. I agree that they are both similar and different at the same time so I don't find it strange that someone would think it's like Meteor. It would still be interesting to hear his/her reasoning though since I suspect it was due to the lack of real information on the homepage.
I'm a doctor and former software programmer, so let me offer a counterpoint:

I would disagree with your statement that medical people have a fatalistic passive attitude. In this case the decision is between 1) watching and waiting to see if the tumor grows and 2) acting immediately to take it out. The tumor in question is a meningioma, a relatively common tumor of the skull (meninges, to be precise) whose natural behavior is unpredictable (some are essentially benign, others are highly malignant). Sometimes high-risk features can be identified on MRI imaging (brain invasion, areas of tissue necrosis, rapid growth) and these will always be treated with intervention. I work at UCSF, one of the top neurosurgery programs in the world, and I can guarantee you the radiologists don't make the mistake on sizing tumors mentioned here (well maybe they do, but it is out of carelessness rather than a problem with there software. it is not hard to find anatomic landmarks to ensure you are measuring at the same level). I would argue that a small meningioma without worrisome features should definitely not be operated on because the risks of surgery are not negligible! These surgeries are no joke, they are extraordinarily complex and they are mucking around next to structures which can cause significant morbidity, neurologic deficits, and even death sometimes if they nick the wrong artery.

It is well accepted practice and backed by evidence (see the WHO:tumors of the CNS publication) that the best way to decrease overall morbidity is by watching and waiting with these types of meningiomas. This is because MOST meningiomas are low-risk/benign (they are often found incidentally during autopsies for other reasons) and the risk of adverse surgical outcomes would be high if you subjected each of these people to invasive procedures when the incidence of high grade meningiomas is low. It is a population based strategy and unfortunately on an individual level you can't predict the outcome, but that is unfortunately a problem with this data. Fortunately lots of new technologies are emerging that can tease out individual differences (the so-called personalized medicine technologies)

That being said the new techniques to map out anatomy to aid surgeons is very cool! And to be fair, it sounds like the patient in this article did not get great care and that some of the doctors were not following the standard of care (1 year between imaging is definitely too long).

And for those sites, you can always use HTTP pipelining and avoid the whole SPDY can of worms.

Looking at the facts, it seems pretty obvious that whatever theoretical gains you can get in select scenarios with SPDY, this super-minor gain is not worth it compared to the associated complexity cost.

Not to mention I don't like the idea of Google now not only running the worlds tracking units, the worlds most popular browser and most popular websites, but now also dictating internet-protocols without taking input from other parties.
> Note how recently polities have taken away the freedom of restaurants to choose to allow smoking, selling certain sizes of drinks; the freedom of parents to choose their children's education and so forth.

Terrifying. And it has been going on for a long while. Remember when shops in the US had the right to sell their wares to whoever they wanted, back in the good old days before the Civil Rights movements? Those were the days. </sarcasm>

More seriously, regulation takes some freedom away, but you have to look at the big picture. Smoking is harmful, even second-hand smoking, and public health efforts to reduce its effects should be applauded and not lamented.
