Agreed. Also, which definition of 'win' is agreed upon here. Win by efficiency? Win by market cap?

I can't believe that people are so shameless that they will actually complain when they attempt to rip off a company and their trick is discovered. I can kind of sort of understand making the attempt in the first place, but surely one should have enough human decency to let it go once you get caught.

Edit: the points history on this comment is interesting so far. Up, then quite a bit down. I wonder what you're downvoting. Do you just dislike the straightforward language of calling a spade a spade? Do you actually somehow think that it's OK to rip off a company like this?

I lost interest in Chipotle pretty quickly and had begun labelling it Chipsaltle when family or friends wanted to eat there. So the sodium data was interesting to me and validated what I felt after eating there (parched a few hours later)

I'm not for or against fast food. I just think Chipotle has wonderful marketing and has really tapped into what people _want_ to believe or have. I want all the conveniences of fast food without feeling like it's unhealthy or responsible for big agriculture. I don't think it's going to end well.....
My stepson is 11 and we've bought many sets for him over the years. We have one of those 5x5 Ikea shelves just packed with sets that never get touched. They're more like models than toys. But some of them are also my old pirate lego sets from when I was his age, which I also never touched after putting them together (hence the fact that they're still intact today, though some have been disassembled and reassembled).

A few years ago, however, we decided to just buy him a few of the big bucket sets. So he's got buckets of bricks that get played with, and shelves full of models that collect dust.

We also have a pretty big collection of Duplo blocks, which my 2 1/2 year-old daughter has little interest in, although she loves the Lego.

Airlines make less than a dollar per traveler per flight correct? They expect little year-over-year growth, and likely see little more than the baseline return on their marketing spend.

If that's their worldview, I can't see how they would ever justify such a large comparative loss for a little PR bump.
>make users switch to something that nags them less.

Or perhaps even worse, conditions them to bypass any nags automatically without thought as to if they should or not.
Not necessarily "horse shit". We know sugars produce insulin responses. We know insulin causes growth/weightgain. We know carbs most directly convert to sugar, followed by protein, followed by fat. So in theory you may be able to eat more fat and protein without gaining AS much weight. Now if you are at a calorie deficit you aren't going to gain I agree with that but I can consume more calories of high fat / low carb and still lose weight.

The bottom line with dieting is find something that works for you.

An average generation was probably about 40 years for most of that. So I'd say about 200-300 generations. It's not much, but I still kind of feel that as a species we haven't done very much at all in that time. Personally I prefer to think we're in our teenage years as a species.
Think of it as a CDN for energy.

The grid will become less reliable over time as utilization increases, and in many cases we have fundamental limitations that make broad-scale robustness difficult to implement.

~30kwh is the national average for daily use. 120 is crazy high unless your blasting an AC or heat all day. At 12 cents a kilowatt hour that's a $438 monthly bill.

If your $12k a year pays for you and your family to live in a spacious villa, and a full time nanny for the kids whilst still leaving enough left over to be able to save up for a biannual new MacBook, you're going to get a rude shock when you realise what $120,000 before tax actually means in San Francisco, especially if you don't intend to leave the family behind.

In that context, staying at home suddenly looks a lot more attractive, especially if you're aware of just how rich by local standards you'll be if you manage to build enough reputation as a remote contractor to triple your rates in future.

Describing calories as "empty" is not really a useful way to think about nutrition. Carbs are not "empty," they are your primary energy source.

In fact, as you point out, Jared lost weight primarily by removing fats from his diet, not carbs.
Nana tells me a rude joke
> "As usual, Iranians chanted "Death to America" and also denounced Israel."

The "As usual" should tell you that it is nothing new. It started back in 1979 after their revolution; and you must admit that the US did some really shady things in Iran leading up to the revolution (including the overthrow of Mossadegh).

I would really recommend you watch Rick Steves' trip to Iran. The people there are much more liberal than almost any other middle-eastern country, and most don't harbor ill-will towards America; despite the fact that we did everything short of active combat for Iraq in the Iran-Iraq war! No one can estimate the number of Iranians killed based on US intel and US support.

And while you do quote "death to america" repeatedly, how about all the threats that everyone from McCain to Bush to Obama have hurled at Iran? "All options are on the table" ... "military force can be used" ... etc. etc. And what about the sanctions? Nations would be within their rights to consider sanctions an "act of war". And Stuxnet? If Iran did the same to us? Obama has stated explicitly that a "cyberattack" would be considered an act of war!!

It seems unlikely we'll ever put a price on coal's impact on people's health (and therefore the cost of healthcare) and on the environment. But the very least we could do is cut the subsidies, and let it compete fairly against solar and other renewables. Eventually we'll chase it out of the market, because solar ill keep getting more cost-effective.
Reverse-Engineered Final Cartridge III Source Code
My problem is that I actually don't know how to do 'outsourcing'.

How do I look for a dev that speaks my language? How do I pay them? Are there any legal obligations on my behalf? How will my accountant deal with paying an international employee? Am I going to have to pay a consultant to get questions about outsourcing answered?

There are too many unknowns for me, as a startup.
1) If you're aware of the BB_n hierarchy, you've outgrown the need for recursion tricks. Instead, talk about halting times of programs that can make calls to the oracle F(n,m)=BB_n(m). That leaves any Ackermann-like approach in the dust. I leave it to you to come up with an even better approach (yes, it exists, and then there's one or two levels after that). Please don't say "I'll just use Ackermann on top of your idea", at that level it's the moral equivalent of "your number plus one".

2) For each individual BB number, there's a program that prints it. But there's no program that prints the whole infinite sequence of BB numbers one by one. All finite sequences are computable, but not all infinite sequences are.
What's up is that most people don't want a big breaker panel in a room they spend time in. It's ugly.

Sticking the panel in a closet doesn't work, because it generally violates codes twice, once for the fact that all the clothes/random junk in the closet blocks access to the panel, and a second time for the fact that even empty, most closets don't provide sufficient clearance all around the panel to meet code requirements.

If I were building a new house, I'd consider putting the panel on the main floor and just hanging a big painting to hide it (which still violates code, but it's pretty trivial to take down a painting).

The insulin response absolutely does not cause excess weight gain by itself. Many people are confused about how it contributes to weight gain. The only significant effect it has is behavioral: for some people it can cause you to feel like you need to eat again sooner. But if you stay calorically balanced, for the purposes of weight management, it really doesn't matter how much of your diet is made up of carbs.

We in the US eat too much period. It's not about which macronutrient we overeat, though carbs tend to be easier to eat a lot of than fats or proteins, and are cheaper to create. But again, the focus needs to be on caloric intake, not on specific macronutrients.

Many things are simply complex and there is no way to 'dumb it down'. QM is probably the best example where the 'every man' description has almost nothing to do with the underlying theory.

>To store 5 kW * 24 hours (barely enough to power my house's essentials)

So based on 5 kW average, your electric bill is… 3650 kWh/mo? That's about 4x the U.S. national average for a household (903 kWh/mo).

Is this correct, or is 5 kW an overestimation?
Human metabolism is a (set of) complex process(es). You are not just burning the plate of food in a furnace.

Of course if you eat less calories than the bare minimum needed to sustain life, you will loose weight no matter what, but that is an unhealthy way of doing it and no sane nutritionist will risk advising you to do so.

On the other hand, it is actually possible to gain weight by restricting calories just a little. Humans did not evolve in an environment where superabundance of food required voluntary abstinence to keep in good shape. When you just cut calorie intake your body enters "starvation mode": metabolism slows down, non essential processes get suspended, you tire out more easily, etc. The result is that if you do not overcompensate with will force and do exercise, you will end up undercutting your calorie usage below your reduced calorie intake, and grow fast.

The body is wise: it knows when things begin to go bad, they always can get worse.
A More Open Enterprise
In the mid 80s, I had (and still have) a Sperry PC, an 8088 IBM PC clone with a crazy "hi resolution" graphics adapter that was two full length cards with a bridging cable and more memory than the motherboard. Doing all my programming in assembly language at the time, and not having the money for an 8087 math coprocessor, I bought the Mark Williams Let's C compiler to have a floating point library to draw Mandelbrot sets.

I quickly decided it was a shame to let a perfectly good compiler go to waste and learned C.

Most 640x400 images were taking 25-32 hours to produce, depending on where they were. I started writing a fixed-point library, and then found Fractint and just wrote a graphics driver for the Sperry adapter. The same images generated in only 8 minutes.

> Why wouldn't most companies try to get employees to use Libre Office instead of MS Office? Shouldn't it be sufficient for most people?

Should be, but when it comes down to it, it just isn't Microsoft Office. Kind of like GIMP isn't Photoshop.

> Btw, are there some features that you feel that you're missing?

As a Mac user - full integration into the desktop experience. We get the same from Microsoft Office, but, of course, it's Microsoft Office and we're used to it there.

Look, I'm not going to claim that it makes sense. However, if you're going to beat Microsoft Office, you have to be far, far better than it. No almost-there, not equal, but demonstrably better.

And not on moral grounds, either. Most users aren't going to give a damn about moral grounds.
You can try, but you realistically will never be able to convert all the finance/analyst type folks off Excel. Their workflows are too ingrained in how Excel does things (vbscript, proprietary extensions, even simple vlookup tables that need to be converted to work with Calc). Hackers will (rightly) complain that a lot of that is abuse of Excel and should be done in a proper programming language--you can either try to change the rest of the world or you buy some Office licenses and continue building your business.

I don't want to look up a source offhand, especially since it would require some reading between the lines, but, 56% of NFL players are obese (97% are overweight), according to BMI guidelines. Going on the same "that doesn't sound right" criteria, saying they're less healthy than a skinny, sedentary person just because they have more muscle (and possibly more fat, but after all, BMI doesn't distinguish) doesn't sound right to me.

> "executive director" at many companies means "director who will never get promoted to VP".

That's somewhat obnoxious, because "executive director" has a fairly well-established general definition that is equivalent to "CEO".

> Also, if they worked at a bank, "vice president" means nothing. Nearly everyone working at a bank is a vice president

...and if they worked at a B2B software company for which banks are a major set of customers, almost the same thing happens, because the customers think "if you aren't at least a VP, you aren't anybody."

The quality really cannot be understated, they last forever. When I was growing up, my brother and I had a mix of "modern" (early 90s) kits and my dad's legos he had growing up in 1950s and 60s Germany. Now my cousins' kids have inherited both and are mixing them with 2010s kits. The 50 year old blocks fit precisely with the blocks made in the past year, and when you throw them all in a bin together you can hardly tell the difference.

It's rare to think of a toy that you can play with as "heirloom quality," but I have no doubt my kids will inherit a portion of the family set when it becomes time, and their kids just might too.
I just started a remote job in November -- I am in the US working for a US company, but this advice still applies.

When I was looking for a job, the best source of remote jobs was StackOverflow careers. If you need an invite, write me. There was a large variety and many would hire from Europe (some were in Europe). The place I work, Trello, hires from Europe.

There are other remote job sites (weworkremotely.com) to check out. They weren't good for me -- but, they may be good for front-end/UX.

You should ask the place you apply, but anywhere with an established remote-friendly environment will set things up so your taxes are as close to possible to what it would be if you just worked for a local place. This is something to work out with their accountants and yours, but it would be a good sign if they already had German employees.

The biggest impediment to you being hired remotely is that you don't have a track-record (I assume) of working remotely for others. It would be good to prepare an answer to why you would be disciplined enough to do this for your interviews -- it will come up -- in any case, you should bring it up, because they will be thinking it.

Not at all similar. This absolutely requires nation state budgets.
I usually eat a Chipotle burrito for lunch on work days. According to their site's calculator, my burrito is 970 Calories, but given that I'm a regular they usually make me large burritos, so I estimate the Calories to be closer to 1200 or 1300. But I exercise regularly and only eat two meals per day, so it's honestly the best thing I could ask for: tasty calories with a lot of protein, made of seemingly real food, that I don't have to prepare for myself.
There is no 83(c) election. At the moment of vesting the amount is considered regular income (no RSU * market price on that day) and you pay taxes on that. A portion of shares is withheld and sold to cover taxes but you may owe more. When you sell you pay capital gains tax on the difference, short or long depending on how long you kept it.
There is no work around, you just keep in mind taxes when calculating your grant worth.
Does that just happen with stock options or normal stocks as well? It would seem that if there are 100 shares and I have 1, then it should be worth 1% of the company no matter how successful it becomes. I can understand how options might be subject to tinkering, but if stocks are as well then the whole thing sounds like a racket.

I just mean that the idea of dilution suggests to me that the original company has been dissolved and reconstituted somehow. That sounds like something seriously in need of regulation...
