Is it really a surprise to anyone that if you restrict almost any of the variables of diet, you can make a study showing it'll lead to weightloss?

>Precisely how a time-based eating pattern staved off weight gain and illness is not fully understood

Really? It's not fully understood how, if you give less time to eat, you'll eat less? It's not like mouse-stomachs are infinitely big
> Remember, corporations ARE ALLOWED to be criticized for their business practice choices and that's OK. Really.

Sure they're allowed to be criticized. But that doesn't make every criticism good or well-founded, and this one is neither.
Part of me hears stuff like this and just goes "let's get Curiosity to motor on over and..."

I am kind of hoping that at some point we'll drop a high-speed rover of some sort on Mars. Even if you took 6 months or a year, being able to cover a decent chunk of the planet would be a heck of a capability.
What's next for Google Glass?
I'm not sure there IS anyone like Google. Apple is all walled garden, but they don't offer all that many services that make sense outside of their platform anyway -- they don't offer anything like Maps or YouTube. (Well, I guess iTunes, but... Apple gonna Apple.) Amazon is outright weird about supporting non-Fire Android, but they've finally got Amazon Video available on other Android platforms, and stuff like Kindle readers are available for any platform imaginable. Amazon Video is also on the Xbox, Playstation, Wii and Wii U, Roku and all kinds of smart TV/I guess smart BluRay devices. With the weird exception of Xbox Video, Microsoft is pretty much falling all over themselves to be on every platform -- Xbox Music, Xbox Smartglass, Office, Outlook.com, OneNote... they're all on iOS and Android.

Google has a Google PLay app for Roku, at least. They offer some stuff on iOS, but not as much as they do on their own platform. But they're not on Xbox. They're not on Playstation. I can at least reason out why they don't want to be on Windows Phone or such, but... Google isn't competing with the Xbox and Playstation, and they're kidding themselves if they think they are. Why not a Playstation app for movies?
Because his kids were enthused about going to a comic book store. Notice that his little boy found plenty of material for him. The point is, his daughter clearly got it: that stuff is not for her. An entire comic book store, and none of it for her. That doesn't feel good.
Agreed. Expecting cultures to change and adapt is for suckers!
Tabs being treated like apps is definitely annoying. However, you can fix that by going to the chrome settings and turning off the "Merge tabs and apps" switch.

Why "on" is the default setting is beyond me.
I've been doing this in India for the past 10 years. At this point I've basically set up my burningman camp on an organic farm on the edge of Bangalore. I run a code school where people learn web development online and encourage other techies to stop by and work on their projects for awhile. Cost of living including food and internet is about $100. Americans get great visas to India. Check us out http://jaaga.in
That assumes that you can make enough consumers with these (relatively) older devices care loud enough for any "pressure" to be applied to the manufacturers.

Security updates aren't sexy and don't get applied unless they include shiny things along with them.
The jury selection process is so skewed... hell, the juror creation process (growing up in the United States, watching hundreds or thousands of hours of cop/courtroom shows), that you can't make any reasonable predictions about what will happen.

There could indeed be real doubt, they'll convict anyway (I didn't like the way his eyes looked... all criminal-y).

There could be no doubt, but they'll acquit.

If you must have Android, you should look at the Moto G. It's inexpensive, has a small (by today's standards) 4.5" screen, and is fairly powerful for the price. I'm not a Motorola fan in general, but I think they have a solid phone with this one.

You're correct. When Buffet talked about "coddling" the super rich, I realized that word describes how we treat physicians. We coddle them. I work with physicians on a daily basis, and you have to treat them like children. You can't talk bad about them, you can't imply they are doing something wrong (they have to come to that conclusion), you have to act like you think they know everything. For a group that relies on hard facts and science, you can't just say to them "You guys don't wash your hands, here is the data". They will literally get up and walk out of the room.

I realize that I am just as guilty, but we coddle physicians.

You are quite correct.
Another perspective is that Google found a bug through which they (and other businesses) can be owned, and ms is saying "fuck you" to google by not fixing it for months. Without this disclosure strategy, google wouldn't have any leverage to get bugs critical to their business (and to most other businesses) fixed. If your company is using windows, google is doing your company a favor.
Apple is contractually forcing developers to not discuss the contract, in what way is that good for users?

Apple can still have a walled garden without contractually requiring developers to forgo their right to jailbreak their own device.

DRM does not benefit users at all. It is not necessary to have DRM to have a walled garden.
I feel like he went to the wrong comic store. Or something.

Superhero comics don't interest me in the least (with the exception of the Watchmen, which I really enjoyed). But there's a ton of more "literary" comic books out there that are awesome.

In fact, the last comic I read was "Annie Sullivan and the Trials of Helen Keller" -- and it was great! Something a young girl might find really interesting.

This in practice a redelegation of the zone.

If you redelegate a zone to a new owner, that owner owns the domain for every intent and purpose, including generating signed TLS keys from pretty much any CA.

There are legitimate ways to delegate a zone, including selling it to someone else. It's not really an attack, and it's definitively not something you can protect against.
I wouldn't be so quick to declare the work done in OpenBSD as hand-waiving, especially when the FreeBSD developers you've been talking to are just as uninformed as you are now.

As the parent mentioned, if you go to Japan, you'll see a thriving market for manga that appeals to girls of varying age groups. So, this would lead one to believe that the demand exists now, it's just completely untapped here. (Ignoring possible cultural differences.) Do you know how you create a large comic book market for older girls / women? Get them hooked when they're young on age-appropriate material, treat them well, and you'll create that market.

Consider 'normal' books. Kids (including girls) have a wide variety of age-appropriate books in a large amount of genres to choose from. I don't understand how there could be a demand for these books, and not those same books with added pictures in them.
I've been in comic stores that are going hard for the 16-year-old male demographic, and I've been in comic stores that are very friendly. (The latter even has adult stuff, but it's up high or in the back.)

A very good rule is to look in the window from the outside. If you can look in the window, that's a good sign.

How does this work for people who regularly burn 500-1000 calories in a workout (bikers, swimmers, runners, skiers, etc)? I'm genuinely curious, not so much from a weight loss perspective but from a mortality/longevity point of view.
First stage rockets likely break into pieces upon hitting the water and sink to the ocean floor. Higher stages burn up in the atmosphere.

Debris from a successful launch are usually not worth worrying about. Failed launches, on the other hand, could contain unburned propellants, hypergolic fuels, radioactive or toxic payloads, and may come down as a blazing fireball on top of something that otherwise would have expected no more than a speck of metal oxides.

Silly question; how common is this class of bug? We're talking about an application that lives on the local system, and is probably only exploitable via social engineering bugs (i.e. we convince the user to do something stupid).

I can count the times I've been owned through an app that doesn't run content from the internet (either accessed by or being a server for) on zero hands.

What is the problem that sandboxing every app into a homogenous set of thou-shalt-not's solves?

Kind of an aside, but it's sometimes not even worth doing the shortcut, again unless you're in a very low-tax country. I am eligible for the foreign earned income exclusion but purposely don't take it, and instead take the foreign tax credit, because excluded income is not eligible for IRA contributions [1]. It's entirely excluded, so doesn't count as earned income, and since you can't contribute more to an IRA than you have in earned income for the year, if you end up excluding all your income you have no basis for a contribution. But the foreign tax credit doesn't cause the same problem, because it's just a credit against tax owed, not an exclusion of income.

Even if the same amount is eaten, it differs depending on if it's in a time-restricted window or spread throughout the day. That is not intuitive and indeed goes counter to the prevailing advice of eating many small meals throughout the day.
From the sounds of it ("detection equipment") this appears to be the use of detection vans that was done for decades prior to RIPA, but that now is being done subject to RIPA because RIPA covers that activity.

RIPA is an awful, awful law for a lot of reasons, but the article seems to sensationalise it in that RIPA does not appear to have suddenly allowed the BBC (or rather TV Licensing, which is a separate organization) to do something they weren't allowed to do before in this case (unless something much worse is hidden behind the "detection equipment" name).

It's an offense to watch or record transmitted television stations in your home without a TV license.

But it's perfectly legal to own a TV and use the on-demand portions of iPlayer (everything apart from viewing the currently-being-broadcast channel streams), Netflix, Google Play, 4od, Demand 5, DVDs, Blurays, etc etc.

This is what I do. The TV Licensing website has a page where you can provide them with your reasons for not owning a TV license. This page explains (implicitly) all the things you can do sans license. And, hopefully, filling this in makes them less likely to pester you (I haven't had any contact from the licensing people).

Here is the text from TV Licensing:

You need to be covered by a valid TV Licence if you watch or record TV as it's being broadcast. This includes the use of devices such as a computer, laptop, mobile phone or DVD/video recorder.

Note how the second sentence arguably introduces confusion. You don't need a license if you use a computer but don't "Watch or record TV as it's being broadcast".

Keep in mind they also claim he was conspiring to murder, but haven't bothered to charge him with that.

The likely explanation here is that they exaggerate everything to some insane degree for exciting press conferences (and to subtly poison potential jurors).
I caught it. But it looks like smacktoward did not.
I guess it was to gain traction. If they pushed all of these requirements upon the OEMs then perhaps Android wouldn't have been as tempting.

So now they're having to lock the gate after the horse has bolted.

But if you want to compare it with Windows, the early versions of Windows didn't have an automated update process in place either.

There's a google-made youtube app on xboxes and playstations.

An article in Nature, that mostly highlights the view of scientists from the University of Western Australia, argues that the threat of a major 'ocean calamity' is oversold. I'd rather be safe than sorry and given the evidence, we can almost definitely conclude that we are changing (and most likely harming) the ocean environment with our activities.

I'm right there with you. Sadly, the best support is found at Apple, but I've owned two iPhones and I just find them obtuse. They are certainly nice devices, I just don't care for iOS. So that leaves me with Windows Phone, which I love to use but Microsoft is all over the place in deciding how much support to offer; and Android, which I don't care to use daily, but the power of the OS can't be denied.

You phrase it like a fact. In practice we're seeing quite the opposite. Firefox clearly sees a fully validating client as the only reliable way to implement TLSA.

At this point I've read 2 stories that had little to nothing to contribute past those two tweets that Elon Musk wrote. They don't even link to the actual tweets so that I can read what other discussion might have happened/click the link that he has in his second tweet.

These types of stories are extremely frustrating, they're basically TMZ for tech. I feel like there are very few publications that are willing to publish real stories any more, not just the minimum work that will get clicks. I used to think the BBC was one of them.
The first stage recovery was essentially bonus points. They were trying for 120% of the contracted, revenue-generating mission goals and only got 101%.
One thing to note, more and more of what constitutes the android user experience is being pulled into the Google Play Services app which is closed source. A big part of the reason why is that it gives Google a better negotiation tool to use with carriers as they have to license the use of the Google Play platform and that isn't really optional in modern Android right now. AOSP has been left behind not in support but in more and more features of "Android" being closed source. Another huge benefit is that tons of bug fixes that would have required coaxing carriers into supporting a software update on the phones can now be applied just by patching Google Play Services and rolling it out as an app update.
This is really really cool. Thanks for posting. I'm especially interested in memory usage right now. I wrote a way to generate load and measure memory impact on your app: https://github.com/schneems/derailed_benchmarks

Comparing the two, it looks like this app only uses heap size for memory and doesn't take into account memory that isn't being used but hasn't been freed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/679sd83gqlkligk/Screenshot%202015-...

From `ps` i'm seeing about ~ 200mb RSS usage where rbkit is only showing ~50mb. I wonder what we could do to increase the accuracy here without having to shell out (very slow).

Also as a note if the gem install fails, on a mac I needed to run this:

$ brew install msgpack
$ brew install zeromq

Then it worked fine. Thanks again! Projects like this get me really excited for a future with faster applications and better informed developers.
There is one contender that's been getting some traction with a significant minority iOS designers; Sketch - http://bohemiancoding.com/sketch/

It's nowhere near an entire replacement but it has a very different take on the UI which arguably makes it better suited for app UI design and it appeals to the "cool kids" ... those starting out their design careers with app related projects as best demonstrated by this book / tutorial - https://designcode.io/

And that's probably the only way to unseat Photoshop - with a generational change.
Regarding this particular issue on AOSP issue tracker, it is a software bug in AOSP that kills voice calls. Filling an issue report would seem prudent.

Yes, however, the bug report is very terse and the far majority of the comments do not add any useful data points. Only 'me too!'s and junk like

IS GOOGLE TURNING INTO MICROSOFT??!!

If you follow the Android bug tracker you see that many issues are flooded with such comments of people who think that the issue tracker is a poll or some social network.

I can't blame them for closing such issues.
Gimp is good for basic photo editing and manipulation, but it sucks as a professional-grade tool. Gimp can't handle raw images. It can't handle more than 8 bits per channel, no CMYK support. None of the Photoshop CS5 features (like content-aware spot healing) are there.

Yes, it's better than most Photoshop alternatives, but it would never be a satisfactory replacement for, say, commercial photographers. I mean, I've only casually used Photoshop for random freelance work over the years (for clients who don't want to hire a real designer), and in my limited experience I've done things with Photoshop that Gimp literally doesn't have support for.
Rushing technology development opens up for increased possibility for failures or mistakes. There's no rush to develop the Hyperloop.

Photoshop was the first I learned true, but I try to be fair, I guess many people (especially here) learned different paradigms and can abstract over their own history.

For instance I've learned to appreciate and love Vim even though I've learned Emacs first (and is my daily editor). I won't dismiss it because it's superficially different (names, layout, bindings) or because it breaks my habits.

I have some kind UX abstract grid in mind where things could make better sense without being the Emacs/my-preferred way. GIMP had too many wtf in a row for me to keep trying, and ends up making me want to write imagemagick scripts in Emacs instead.
Wait, I can't quite parse your last statement... is it legal to watch BBC on demand and Netflix/DVDs without a licence, or not? (I suspect the former, but then I know nothing about this law.)
I'm a bit surprised by all the people here who think that the best way to object to a corporation's contract offer is to just avoid working with that corporation. If that's all we do, how is the corporation supposed to know what it's doing wrong?

Make a public complaint, and (a) you provide better feedback, and (b) you maybe convince other people to join your boycott, which improves your chance of modifying the corporation's behavior and making the world a little bit nicer.
Ok so I have a daughter about the same age, and recently introduced her to comics (I was never a comic person).

I randomly picked up some weird Disney themed comic books at a flea market and showed them to my daughter who kept them in her bed. She ended up liking them, and so I casually started searching for comics for younger children.

In the city I am not, so my shopping started at Amazon.com - where I easily found a comic appropriate: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1401216684/

So yes, there is a large segment of comic books that is marketed towards horny teenagers, and overgrown horny teenagers and yes, you local comic shop probably doesn't cater to the under 10/female crowd. However, the content is easy to find, and it doesn't involve exposing your children to your creepy local comic store.

I think there isn't a good Photoshop replacement because it tries to do too much. For example, it's used by both photo editors and web designers. The crossover of requirements there is really quite small - so I'm quite happy to see smaller apps hacking away at a subsection of what Photoshop does.

For example, I work almost exclusively on web UI stuff, and I love Sketch. The UI just makes so much more sense to me.
Thanks for clarifying! I have followed many of the discussions in which you participated talking about this issue, but this is the most concise way this has been put.

If I may suggest something, the article talks a lot about the implementation flaws in DNSSEC, giving the impression that if only it was designed better, or even redesigned, that we could actually have a secure DNS.
I think you're missing the point that in other parts of the world people (kids, adults, men, women) do read comic books. In those other parts of the world, where comic books are read by all sorts of people, they are not so overtly sexualized as those in the USA.

Maybe you're right that non-young-male-Americans are genetically incapable of liking comic books as a medium, but it seems more likely that Americans are no different from Europeans, and would like comics if they just made comics for them.
