240 -> 195 in three months with portion control and no snacking. For me, I charted what I was eating and when for three weeks before starting. Then I broke down the calories in my diet by origin.

Then I rebalanced slightly by adding more green vegetables (I was eating virtually none), and reduced the portions of each other category by around %30-%50, bringing me about 500 calories below my basal metabolic rate. One slice of pizza, not two, half a sandwich rather than a whole, a salad once every couple days. Even without removing snack foods, changing the amount I put on a plate radically altered my caloric consumption without me really noticing. Now that I'm at a healthy weight (I should note I'm very tall so a healthy weight is 190-205ish for me), I brought consumption levels back up to slightly above BMR, and will probably increase more as I start weight training.

On a side note, soda and Doritos were regular staples in my diet. When I stopped I noticed that there's a sort of "withdrawal" when you stop eating these hyper-engineered processed foods. Might be the brain not receiving the expected jolt of positive feedback from a high caloric treat. Either that or something in processed foods really affects my body chemistry. All I know is that for weeks in the middle the sight of a bowl of Lays made me feel both tempted and queasy.

It seems to me that it is a mistake to describe this as "open source" given that the license[1] has a commercial use restriction. The de-facto definition of what constitutes "open source" - The OSD[2] - explicitly disallows "field of use" restrictions (see clause #6).

It would probably be more correct to call this "shared source" or something.

I might concede that this is the case, but only if we first agree that this doesn't mean you get to choose some arbitrary number in the middle and pretend that this is the "average loss".

I know of no economic science that can provide a reasonable number, either. You'd be lying if you claimed you knew of one.

> They are probably missing out on at least several hundred dollars worth of revenue

This would be the very extreme edge of the maximum. They're probably missing out on several tens of dollars.

And for this, they've hijacked the criminal justice system with bribes to congresses and parliaments, extended copyright protection so much that it now lasts a duration best measured in centuries, bankrupted innocent people with million dollar judgements, and sent people to prison for what shouldn't even be misdemeanors.

They want us to all pay, through our tax funding of the criminal justice system, for these minor theoretical losses. Why should I have sympathy for that?

Games companies specifically have broken their own works so thoroughly that it's difficult or impossible to get games just a few decades old to run. This is stealing from the public domain.

>If every politician is a liar, then why don't you run for office? If all of the honest people that complain that politicians are dishonest actually got off their butts and started taking over their local governments, then you wouldn't have that problem.

In the off chance you see this (since this post has been flag-killed), I'll answer this question for you.

I worked on the tech team of a well-known political consulting firm for a few years out of college. While I was not a consultant myself, nor have I run for office, I have seen up close what it takes to get elected.

First of all, by far most politicians are egoists to the point of being sociopathic. This is not a coincidence, this is who our current political system favors. It's not necessarily all the fault of our forefathers, however (who definitely had the right idea, just the wrong implementation). It's the particular combination of two-party democracy with mass media that has led to this state of affairs. To get ahead in this environment, it's a huge help if you believe that you are dramatically smarter, better-looking, and more charming than the next guy or gal.

Rational people, who are able to quantitatively and honestly say to themselves, I'm pretty smart, but X and Y are better analytic thinkers, and Z and W have better social intelligence, are at a distinct disadvantage in this kind of system.

And then, there are a handful of true idealists who have succeeded in this environment. Without exception, and regardless of party, all of these people have compromised at least some of their core values, and few of them are able to even accomplish the smallest of tasks to further their ideals, because of all the moral and ethical compromises that they have made to get to where they are.

And then there are a very small handful of idealistic people who hang on to most of their ideals, and manage to gain a respectable number of followers. When they move to make big gains, the system crushes these outliers. I give you Howard Dean and Ron Paul as examples of this phenomenon on opposite ends of the political spectrum.

So no, individual honest people, by their very nature, have very little chance at winning elections in this kind of system. Collectively, they have no chance.

The system is fundamentally broken, and the sooner smart, intelligent people are able to admit this, the sooner we can fix things.

Edit: I will add one thing that you're absolutely correct about. Local (county and municipal) government is the last bastion of honest people (and the only elections I still vote in), because it's the one place where traditional campaigns are not run. Particularly in small counties and cities, people are elected on their actual reputations instead of how they run a campaign.

But when they try to move up to Congress, they have little chance against a well-funded politician of the type I describe above (and absent self-funding by a wealthy candidate, the dishonest politician will inevitably raise more funds, since it's easier to raise funds if you have no moral or ethical boundaries about who you accept funds from, and how you raise them).

CTs are uncommon in family medicine offices. They'd need to forfeit square feet that could otherwise be used for several exam rooms. The offices that do have them probably opt for really low-end ones. So "never"?

>people do care, but are currently under too much financial and day-to-day stress to simply drop everything and participate meaningfully in lots of political causes

I used to believe this was the case, but now I wrestle with it. I'm not sure what people think any more, but I find that a core problem is that too many don't tend to think critically or independently and are thus far too easily led.

It's partly implicit in the other points of your comment (e.g. the way the narrative around Mr. Swartz redirected away from the relevant discussion), but the whole of it is difficult to explain. It's very Matrix-like in that they seem to want to be misled, bury their heads in the sand, and pretend that everything is OK.

Maybe this is why people spend an inordinate amount of time on utter distraction, and seem to prefer that to addressing real matters, even when those matters directly affect them.

> Swartz faced nothing resembling 35 years, because federal sentencing does not work by simply adding the counts up for every charged offense. Like charges "group", and the convicted are sentenced according to the most severe of those charges.

The Federal Sentencing Guidelines work that way, but the federal sentencing guidelines are not mandatory (due to U.S. v. Booker) and sentences which exceed what the guidelines allow but which are within the range specified in law for the specific crimes the defendant was convicted of are issued and upheld. So unless there is some mandatory requirement outside of the guidelines for concurrent sentencing or grouping, the maximum potential sentence is, in fact, not the maximum supported by the guidelines grouping rules, but the maximum supported by adding up the punishments for the individual offenses.

The most likely sentence may be one within the range provided by the guidelines, but that's not the maximum potential.
> This is part of the author's larger point: your title does not limit your contributions. You don't need permission (a title) to act a certain way. Titles, then, are an acknowledgement, not a license.

While it's true you can do whatever you want, titling generally functions as a way to control or punish the output of a worker. I have seen folks with lesser titles do something that a manager doesn't agree with and then been censured for it being outside of their job duties. I have seen people with high titles be chided for doing small work that someone felt was below them. I have seen managers become untouchable by anyone below them because the manager title became a shield against any other non-manager's criticism or input.

Titles service to reinforce the employee hierarchy that most business utilize. All the usual problems with that hierarchy are expressed through titles.

Right, Swartz. Moving onto more important matters..

I don't agree with your general overtone. Is it fair that they can make an example out of us, but we can't make an example out of them? Should my ire really be with the law (a tool) or the person executing the law (using her tool) to aggressively vilify an innocent, bright kid? We're humans living amongst humans; let's not forget that.

Your assertion that "the larger issue is that the law is broken" gives us nowhere to go, no way to express our discontent, and really just supports the perpetual armchair bravado. How is the law going to change if no one does anything about it? Do you think having an intelligent debate right now will solve anything? As if some senator is going to catch wind of our discussion, and think he's found himself a calling. No, the government doesn't do anything unless you make a scene; I learned that from Aaron and SOPA.

Ortiz is not just some innocent victim who was blindly following the law. She made this her case and went after it vigorously. Ortiz is the representative we use to express our hatred on because it's impossible to "make it about all of them." There's plenty of good prosecutors out there who aren't scumbags who want to see a genius rot in jail to prove a point or make an example. What're we going to do? Point our finger at all prosectuors and say "Look what you did to Aaron!" No, there's one person here who's most responsible and all eyes are on her for a reason.

I argue we want to use Ortiz the way they wanted to use Aaron. We make an example. Hopefully then, people will actually work on changing the law.

EDIT: For what it's worth, I did still find your post very enlightening and informative. I'm just not convinced Ortiz is not to blame.

The biggest takeaway of this article is that effective security comes from proper threat modeling and analyzing the cost dynamics.

Most media companies in that era attempted to build an "uncrackable" system which always got cracked in short order because the mechanism depended on one tactic. By acknowledging that all protection schemes eventually get figured out and acknowledging the adversary's strengths and weaknesses, the author could then employ defense-in-depth techniques to maximize the cost of cracking the system.

Remember that every adversary has a budget.

> even if there is a signal we can't find it

Yet.

Although I love the notion of "neutrino noise" there are always clever tricks. Twenty years ago I designed a reactor neutrino detector that suppressed the fireball neutron background using a variety of signal processing cuts, and we could actually tell when the reactor was on after a week or so of data collection despite the raw background being three or four orders of magnitude larger than the signal.

I'm sure the people working on this have thought of the obvious (neutrinos from the sun have directionality and a particular spectral shape) but anyone familiar with the history of experimental physics won't say it's impossible to beat this limit. Just that it's a problem we haven't solved. Yet.
