OT, yes, but the struggle is real. When I really wanted to gain weight and I was lifting with good intensity I ate over 1000 cal surplus. But as far as wellness I assume that sort of excess is good for gaining muscle quickly but very bad for my long-term health so I doubt I'll eat like that again.
Could I tell what anyone is watching by monitoring for this signal outside their house?
Your comment depends on the interpretation of the word 'free' in 'free market', and it's why many economists would argue that anti-cartel legislation that makes actions like this illegal is necessary to protect the free market.

ie. A market can become less free through bad government regulation which limits competition, but it can also become less free through the collusion of some market participants in a trust which limits the ability of other participants to truck barter and trade.

I know this is kind of a throw away poke at Steve Jobs, but its very believable as well.

In fact, the selfishness that Jobs displayed repeatedly in his life helps you understand how this whole thing happened. I can totally see Steve Jobs says "damn it, I'm trying to make cool stuff and these 2-3 other companies get stealing my guys. Stop doing that so we can go back to making awesome stuff!"

But that's the problem and my broader point. These companies acted to reduce churn of top talent and possibly secondarily to save some cash. I can see this seeming like a good idea. But the broader ramifications of their actions are insane.

You don't have to have head-to-head data to claim your drug is superior to existing therapies. Yes, head-to-head data is the best way to show it, but if you have two separate trials, each comparing to a placebo, you can draw conclusions about relative efficacy. It's not perfect, but in the case of Gilead, their drug blows away anything else currently on the market.

If I said "The Unabomber's Manifesto", fewer people would read it just because of the stigma attached to the name. On its own, it's a legitimately interesting piece of writing with salient points about the topic at hand.
I thought I was perfectly clear in which points were not yours. My point with including the whole list of standard arguments against DNSSEC, not only yours, was that they are well known to DNS implementors for over ten years.

1. Since you decide that the whole of DNS is "government controlled" (which is a statement of a kind that are useless to discuss furhter), you must also accept that "a race to the bottom in CA pricing" means certficates generated without human intervention. That would mean a very complex and error prone to implement the same security model as DANE gives you, where domain ownership is cryptographically assured.

2. That is only because "government controlled" is a meaningless phrase. ICANN is not more government controlled than any other organization operating in a jurisdiction. They have a mandate from the US Department of Commerce but that does not mean they are "controlled" by them. It could certainly improve, but the proposals for a multi stakeholder model has so far been thinly veiled attemts to politicize ICANN. That does not mean it can not be done. The fact that they root zone has a spotless record of political meddling so far should count for something.

3. This last statement is incorrect. DNSSEC is not RSA-1024 for the forseeable future. Implementating an alternative way to secure DNS with more modern cryptography is many orders of magnitude more difficult than switching algorithms in DNSSEC, which is completely supported.

4. Again a statement so general it holds true for implementing any world wide standard. If you want every software under the sun to handle lookup failures correctly, that is expensive in itself. Is DNSSEC more expensive than any reasonable alternative? No, probably less so. Failure modes are well understood.

Since the rest of the points weren't raised by you directly (but then again, many times by others) I think we can concede them from any further discussion.

The linked FOI answer contains the sentence "I can confirm that TV detector vans do exist". Admittedly that's a claim rather than evidence, and it's not inconsistent with them being fake vans. Again, unaccountable surveillance.
> "64,000" people were not effected. Those numbers are just the work forces of the companies involved in the lawsuit.

But the class is defined as just the employees of these companies from 2005-09. This has two implications: 1) the proof issue is much easier--you don't have to get into a calculation of economic damages for the sector as a whole; 2) the settlement release theoretically doesn't preclude people who weren't employees of these companies from bringing a different lawsuit based on the indirect injury.

Don't underestimate the significance of (1). You're talking about a battle of economic expert witnesses, where your burden will be to prove that the defendants' conduct actually suppressed salaries during a time period when engineering salaries were skyrocketing. Whether or not that theory of the case is true, I don't know if its winnable.

Also, using 64,000 employees as the denominator is a bit misleading. Some people might have gotten a lot more money over the time period by taking an offer that was prohibited by a no-poaching agreement. But other members of the class may not have gotten those calls anyway, and so weren't harmed.

EDIT: 'gojomo and 'harryh hit the nail on the head. The theory is certainly plausible, proving it is very ambitious.

Drug development costs are not that high now, compared to twenty years ago. Most of the money goes in marketing.

That is entirely false.

1. Why would you include marketing in the cost of developing a drug? They don't market it until it's launched.

2. The cost of drug development is not lower than it was 20 years ago, even by a long shot. FDA approval requirements have gotten more and more complex each year. 20 years ago you could run a trial on a few thousands patients and call it a day. Now the FDA would require a 10,000 person trial over two years for approval. That costs money.
Author here. Questions and feedback very welcome. This is my first real blog post so I'm quite curious if people like the format of this, if there are any big problems that stand out, or if the people here are actually even generally interested in the content.
This is false:

"The caloric intake for all the mice was the same."

"By the end, the mice eating at all hours were generally obese and metabolically ill, reproducing the results of the earlier study. But those mice that ate within a nine- or 12-hour window remained sleek and healthy, even if they cheated occasionally on weekends. What’s more, mice that were switched out of an eat-anytime schedule lost some of the weight they had gained."

I do this. I actually live in a large, ocean view condo in Panama City. I rent half of it on AirBnB which covers all my fixed expenses other than my mortgage. I work remotely for a Swiss company and I legally pay no taxes. I don't have a degree, and I've only been working since I was 26. I'll be worth half a million before I'm 33, partly because my condo has risen in value. I married a beautiful local girl who probably wouldn't have given me the time of day in my native Canada. Here I'm taller, handsomer, and richer without having changed at all, just because the local men lower the bar for competition. The city is full of things to do, and it's more modern and interesting in some ways than many Canadian cities. Good beaches are 1-2 hours by car, so sadly I don't code on the beach (when I go, coding is the furthest thing from my mind.)
He's talking about UNIX, not Linux, and he's 100% right. Look at the BSDs some time, or the Solaris forks.

The disconnect between the Linux kernel and basic userland has been a criticism of UNIX traditionalists for years. It's part of the reason why BSD has a few forks and Linux has hundreds of distributions.

Or does it mean something else?
Also it could be that they are going for the profit maximising price curve.

$129 is worth it; if you would use the functionality a lot. And they must be selling enough units at that price to make it worthwhile for them.

Without knowing their cost structure it's hard to say; if their production capacity is limited there may be no way to make enough to meet demand at a lower price.

The wiki page is interesting read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Profit_maximization
Many of the non-superhero comic books in the U.S. end up being adult themed for various reasons. Even many notable French artists are only known here for their work in magazines like Heavy Metal.

One I grew up with (that I probably shouldn't have had as a child) was the Conan the Barbarian comics. Definitely not a superhero title, and definitely skewed towards the adult demographic.

Asterix has tried to penetrate the U.S. market several times, but the style says "newspaper comic strip" to Americans and that's where it got stuck.

Prince Valiant is also an American comic, shown mostly in newspapers.

Spirou et Fantasio looks excellent, I don't think there's ever been a concerted effort to translate the title into English.

Same with Gaston.

I personally think there's a deep well of wonderful French comics that have yet to really make it into the American market: Valérian and Laureline, Blueberry, Arzach, etc. Where the artwork and writing are wonderful. But then again, I think Arzach and other Moebius works ended up here under the Heavy Metal books, which are widely known among late-teen early adult readers.
Because it is more complicated than this. One point is where is the causation in this correlation (calories vs weight). Everyone who doesn't want to think a lot about it think that your consuming of too much calories makes you gain weight. But evidence is that you having too much weight demands you to consume more calories - and it is very difficult to escape all the tricks your brain and body have to make you do what they want. The same happens when you burn calories, your body demands you to consume more calories.

So how to loose weight if your overweight or overexhausted body will keep demanding you to eat excessive calories? The trick is to consume different kinds of calories, and this is where consuming less carb and more fat enters.

A good analysis I heard here in HN once (sorry, don't remember the author) is that just saying is calories in vs calories burn is like explaining why a Super Bowl stadium is full of people saying: "Because more people got in than went out". It is not an useful analysis, it is not actionable and it shows that you know nothing about the dynamics of this particular phenomen.

sebsd and selinux were and continue to be difficult to write policies for. I'm not even aware of anyone other than Fedora/RedHat and then specific appliances that even ship policies. If I understand correctly, even RedHat only ships targeted policies (not a comprehensive system policy) that usually need tweaked by the end admin for the situation at hand (which seems to lead to people just turning off selinux in Fedora/Centos/RHEL).
They do "exist", in the literal sense of the word. You can see a picture of one on the wikipedia page about it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Television_licensing_in_the_Uni...

However, they have never been used for enforcing TV licensing. They are entirely a publicity stunt / a myth put about by the BBC to scare people into buying a license.
The inevitable HN comment on the topic, even though the article explicitly contradicts it.

Sigh.
> anti-terrorism laws like this in not-so-advanced democracies where there is little protection of the average citizen from the abuse of state power.

Ummm... This is about Northern Ireland, which had an undeclared low simmering civil war for much of the late 20th century, with abuses by state powers (imprisonment without trail, soliders shooting protesters on the streets), active paramilitary groups killing civilians and state actors, and undemocratic processes (gerrymandering of votes).

I think we know what happens when the UK/NI state wants to abuse one part of the population.
As a father of daughters, I'm waiting for the series of articles that will help me understand the proper way to have a conversation with them about the fact that their boyfriends, when they are old enough to have them, do not have the muscular build nor the attractive looks of common comic book characters such as Batman, Superman, and so on that they constantly see. Never mind when they see movies with all those overly attractive male stars.

But all I get are articles about how certain comic books, that they probably shouldn't be reading anyway, gives them unrealistic expectations of what their bodies should look like. Plus the fact that will somehow prevent them from getting a career they want to have.

Anyway, I often take my daughters to the local comic book store that I feel has an adequate range of comics for all ages and gender. I let them loose to get what they want. The older one goes for things like Monster High and My Little Pony. The younger goes for those as well as TMNT and Transformers. I just let them decide for themselves what kind of comic book reader they want to be. I feel they'll mostly work it out for themselves. Some people shouldn't worry so much over such details because in the end it only stifles your kid's growth as a person. Trying to shield them from the world they live in doesn't help them in the long run.
Ya, my comment was too brief. I was mostly reacting to the HN posters that basically were saying "Microsoft evil" by gently pointing out that other companies are leaving bugs in for longer than Microsoft. For example, someone posted "Other companies fix such bugs in days." Well, there are counterexamples, aren't there (OS X at the moment).

I think what Microsoft is doing is really hard. I don't have insight into their process, having never worked there. So yes, we can speculate that they could do things much faster. But can they? I find it rather tasteless to just assume so with no evidence and to then go on and call them names. I dunno, maybe they are falling flat on their faces internally, or maybe the team is performing heroics at the cost of personal lives, or maybe it is just business as usual.

But, it was also an honest question. Maybe there is evidence out there that Microsoft is just failing, and I haven't seen it or my reading comprehension failed me and I saw it but didn't register it.

But mostly, I am tired of the hurl accusations and drag people&companies through the mud meme that happens here, and this seemed to be more of the same (again, open to evidence, not claims, to the contrary).
That's also a speculation. If decision to kick out Greece comes, Euro might just end up a bit stronger.

I don't see why they would bother with the internal dev ticket for a report with so little information. Hopefully they would keep track of how many "audio stops working" reports they were getting, but it doesn't rankle me that they would essentially disregard the first couple dozen (people make stupid complaints).
It's common in many countries, but done in slightly different ways. In Ireland, one must have a licence if you own a TV that could recieve broadcast signal, regardless if you want it. Otherwise people would claim they don't watch live TV and not have to pay.

The links you provided debunk the notion of weight loss being impacted... but health seems to still have some potential links.

"The last point that Dhurandhar brings up is an important caveat: There are very good studies that suggest that skipping breakfast does influence our health in other meaningful ways. For instance, it’s well known to affect metabolism, since it forces the body to stay in a fasting state for a longer period of time. Last year, a study found that skipping breakfast was linked to coronary heart disease, presumably because the extra time fasting leads to a rise in a group of factors that together increase heart risk. “Prolonged fasting,” says study author Leah Cahill, “leads to increases in diastolic and systolic blood pressure, blood concentrations of insulin, triglycerides, free fatty acids and LDL-cholesterol, and to decreases in blood concentrations of HDL-cholesterol.”"

I think that what we are finding out though, is that our perception of "calories in" is not always correct. In other words, "calories in" is more complex than the number on nutritional label.
The funny part is that a common criticism of the pharmaceutical industry is that they don't want to create cures because they make more money with drugs that have to be taken chronically.

So a drug company releases a cure for a disease and everyone complains about the price. Ironic.

He is saying that a trait of the Unix systems was the development in a single repository. In that particular aspect, a fully integrated DOS clone might be more Unix-like than, say, Linux. This is a response to the people who mistake the "Linux way" for the "Unix way".
