Sure. It's not "purely mental" for many people -- and even if it was, that doesn't mean we should disregard psychological causes of overeating, under-exercising, or body dysmorphia.

Predisposition to fat gain may be due to maternal influences during gestation including malnutrition; genetic and epigenetic factors; sleep deprivation; poor coping mechanisms for stress and anxiety; childhood weight gain (hardly the fault of the child); complex glandular disorders such as polycystic ovarian syndrome; and many many other factors possibly including infection.

Plus anecdotally we all know that some people simply put on muscle more than others. There will be plenty of research on this, I suggest trawling PubMed.

The notion that some people are overweight or obese simply because their will power is less than others' simply doesn't fly any more.

One of the features of the command line ftp client is that (most of) its internal commands are full words; but as long as they remain unambiguous, you can abbreviate them as much as you want. Why more systems don't adopt this approach, I don't understand.

How to hack int'l conferences, hackathons, and world travel in college
I recently wrote a Medium article to reflect on the various international tech conferences and hackathons that I’ve been able to attend in college without having to pay for travel, accommodation, and other fees. They’ve been incredible experiences that have left me with many lessons learned and a global circle of inspirational friends. Hope to share these resources for students still in college to take advantage of these amazing opportunities.
If you are interested in grouping the tabs, have a look at this addon:

It allows you to use your tab-list in a hierarchical way, sort of like a filesystem. I group things under obvious roots, and then collapse it till needed.

In tandem with looking up the data, I also recommend broadening your social circle by meeting a former alcoholic or two. They're not hard to find. Alternatively, you can read their memoirs, which are even easier to find.

I don't recommend the alternative of seeing some of your friends or relatives drink themselves to death, even as their own closest friends fail to see what's going on. But you don't always have a choice. Sometimes the anecdotes find you.

Anecdotes aren't data, but they are what human beings are designed to believe. If you have trouble envisioning evident facts that are backed by piles of data, perhaps you need to collect a wider range of anecdotes.
On wage negotiations: the big corp offer and your current wage as per negotiations are unrelated. You can use the offer as a datapoint as you estimate your own worth but you cannot use it as a rationale to ask for a wage increase. You can always ask for more.

I'm not sure what the situation with the big corp offer is but if you want to move I would use the initial offer as merely as an anchor point and ask for more (as much money that the decision to move does not feel wrong). Negotiate, point out your value.

I don't know where your salary would rise faster. Be aware that some big corps keep people tenaciously on the wage level they are at.

As per future career prospects - signaling that you are smart and get things done is always a good bet. This means that you should have a brief description of what you've achieved at your current project at the end of it. This means if you can't describe your experience as "achieved x at y which delivered value z" it's time to try to change your current assignment. If this red flag condition is not met then careerwise you could be doing worse.

A well known reputable name in a CV creates a sense of positive familiarity, no doubt about it.

It sounds to me you need to figure out what you want to do, formulate a plan how to achieve it, and observe at yearly intervals have your goals changed and is your plan working. Figuring out ones career is an empirical and personal thing - the most important thing you can do about it is to be proactive and have a plan (that probably needs adjustments at intervals).
It depends which process crashes. Usually and rare a sub-process crash which means a few tabs need a page reload. If your main process crash (which should be very very rare) then I would suspect you have a faulty memory module in your device or you have little free memory or your operating system has not optimal scheduler (e.g. server OS on a desktop).
Isn't "not" upvoting same as "downvoting"?

Your issue is that you're misunderstanding the parent comment's claim. Izacus didn't claim that Windows laptop trackpads weren't bad -- the only claim made was that Apple trackpad drivers were worse. I've used a few friends' windows laptops, and while their trackpads certainly weren't good or perhaps even adequate (to borrow your term), they were without a doubt better than the Apple-laptop-running-windows combination, which I would classify as far below "adequate".
Yeah, I've seen it. Looks pretty good, but I wasn't fond of the DSL it had. I wanted something simpler.
When downvoted comments are no longer greyed out and pushed out of the discussion maybe we agree that they are not a punishment.

The problem is that at present they are a bully pulpit. I have had comments that went negative days after they had been upvoted - surely if the comments were so bad they would have been downvoted right away?
I don't think he was equating the two. Just comparing them.

Many of us have experienced cruelty. That doesn't mean anything less severe than what we've experienced is not cruel (although I wouldn't describe getting downvoted without reason to be cruel I understand where OP is coming from).
People in the industrialized world probably get way too much iron, to the point it's implicated in disease. So personally I'll skip the iron fish.

Who knows, maybe software will decide that their energy is better spent doing other things, and leave menial tasks like writing software to humans while they pursue more intellectual and creative endeavors.
My Google results are noticeably worse for me logged-out (or through DDG) than logged-in.

This suggests that search is in fact such a hard problem that my search engine literally needs to know more about me than I know about myself to do a good job for me.

Which explains why Bing has such a hard time unseating Google - I'm always logged into GMail, so Google has known it's me doing my searches for the past eleven years.

Also: get greyed out often enough and end up [dead]. I understand why this is (continuously disruptive trolls etc.); It's just that it can also be "voice an unpopular opinion often enough".
There is a lot of old cruft in its web engine "gecko" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko_(software) , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XUL , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPCOM).

IE7 or IE8 introduced multi-process sandbox in Vista (not on XP). Afterwards, Google did the same with their first Chrome release.

In both IE 8-11 and Chrome 1+ there are several tabs per sub-process. Chrome comes even with its own "Taskmanager" where you can see which tab sits in which process and how many resources it takes. You can find the Taskmanager in the Chrome's "Tools" sub-menu.

I think the more pertinent question is: why do we downvote?

If the answer is to signal to others that the comment is not worth reading (by greying it out, dropping it down in the rankings and eventually preventing people from reading it at all) then the reason is sort of immaterial.

On the other hand, if the goal is to adjust behaviour I feel like a downvote (including a downvote-with-reason) is needlessly punitive. Consider the dubious value of a bad-performance-review-with-pay-cut as a behaviour adjustment tool.

While there might have been a time when you could politely correct someone's behaviour in the comments, as HN grows it starts to feel less like a quiet word and more like calling someone out on stage. For that reason I'm very reluctant to do it.

It would be good if there was some way to privately reply to a comment. (Essentially your proposal minus the necessity of downvoting). I'm not sure if there's any way to do that without it being a vector for abuse or disrupting public commentary, but if there is I would definitely use it.

Maybe you could let the recipient of a private comment make it public? And it's not possible to reply to a private comment otherwise? That would be a way of enforcing a certain don't-say-anything-you-wouldn't-want-repeated niceness in private comments, and also prevent them from turning into a mechanism for shadow discussion that takes away from the main comment thread.

Anyway, I definitely agree there is something missing in the HN toolkit for this kind of problem and I hope we can find a way to improve it.
It depends on your diet. People who eat a lot of red meat are going to be fine though, as mentioned in the article, it is possible to be anemic from a B12 or vitamin A deficiency as well which could result from a poor diet even if it is high in red meat, the fish won't help with those unfortunately. If your diet doesn't include red meat or has very little of it you could very well become iron deficient.

Anyone who lives in an industrialized nation would derive more benefit from eating a balanced diet if they can afford the time and money to do so. However, if you have very little time and money you might wind up in the same pot as the poor Cambodians. Poverty knows no borders after all.

Let me guess, it's a process like Flash that kills all of your tabs?

That's why having proprietary technology in browsers sucks because you can't really implement it the way you want to (as a browser vendor).
Nonsense. Iron deficiency is common in 1st world countries, especially among young girls who started to have their period which makes them lose a lot of iron. In general, starving yourself to meet the skinny beauty ideals (which is widespread) will lead to a host of problems, among them iron deficiency.

You're right, unixprogrammer; real hackers write everything in the venerable C.

On the other hand, there is a fair bit of negativity in this thread, just because it is C. That might not be in the hacker spirit, so to speak.

Sounds like you'd need something like this:

I use it all the time whenever I get to 10-15 "idle" tabs I don't need that day anymore.
Right, it definitely would break a lot of existing scripts, so I understand why its not a default. The thing is though, that really proves the argument that some parts of Unix have a bad out of the box user experience! I personally love Unix and find it amazingly powerful, but I've made the same mistakes as everyone and killed entire boxes, and really with some simple UX changes that could be fixed in the bulk of cases.

As a long-time HN user I completely agree with you, but it's worth mentioning that pg specifically stated that it's perfectly fine to use downvotes for disagreement (if I find the comment where he said that I'll edit my post and put a link to it). So, while I don't think that downvotes should be used for disagreement, if the person that created this site says that it's ok, then I guess it's ok.

Compartments are not quite what I'm talking about.

I'm more talking about metadata / caches. There's a fair bit of stuff that can be global with a single process that cannot be with multiple processes. Sometimes you can use shared memory tricks, but not always.

No, you don't really want to know why you are getting downvoted. Every time I got an explanation on Reddit it was annoying and more aggravating than just some stupid downvotes.

Redshift seems like a great fit for Adhoc analytics. Just a shame you can't run it in your own data centre (some of us can't use the cloud).
Usually the reason why posts are being downvoted are pretty clear. But, those aren't always good reasons, because we're dealing with a group of people who have a very strong tendency to be know-it-alls (myself certainly not excepted). The vast bulk of my downvotes so far came from a thread where I pointed out a few obvious flaws (massive civil and potentially criminal liability) with the prevailing conspiracy theory about how the leaked Game of Thrones episodes were leaked by HBO themselves, as part of their secret plan to get people not to use HBO Go. I'm not especially bitter about it, but I do find myself self-censoring more often to avoid arguing with groupthink.
And yet if you read the comments in this thread there are still people arguing against its necessity.
I find it hard to believe any rationale person would believe ANYTHING the government has to say. I'm not sure if it has always been this way but now-a-days, and even with as bad as the media is, it's perfectly clear that the government will lie about anything it feels like. It's not just fiction and movies, we KNOW this from recently recorded history. Further, we don't even know if the "whitehouse" is blatantly lying or if they are being lied to by the intelligence organizations because we also know now that they will lie about ANYTHING to other parts of the government including the executive. So any time people start immediately pointing fingers at the POTUS and "whitehouse" I can see what their agenda is. It's so messed up there is no telling where the lies are originating from. Maybe the CIA/NSA should change their missions statement to "provide the truth". Whatever else they are aren't they supposed to be "intelligence" organizations? What good are they if they provide bad information?!

Be carefull, onliners are usually dowvoted here. (I usually donwvote dummy oneliners, but I didn't downvote this.) (Luckily your comment is black again.)

I guess I agree with you, but I' difficult to know without a longer explanation. I'll write my longer explanation:

If HN does this, it will look like http://hackernews.stackexchange.com .When I visit stackoverflow, I notice that there are many comments just to explain upvotes and downvotes. I think that it adds too much noise and moderation to the discussion. I prefer the HN style, were the meta discussion is as small as possible, so it's easier to follow the main discussion.
