Yes, but that is related to the total concept of being obsessed with the wrong things (money/time). And yes, that's easy for me to say and I appreciate that. But I think that's easy to say for many people here.

For others; I used to make a crapload of money in the Netherlands but I hated the life and the stress. I moved to Spain where I can live of a literally less 1/10th of what I made in NL, and live like a king (big house, car, pool, dinners out). The obsession with money and time are in your head ; you can live like a king in a lot of countries in this world for the rest of your life. That you 'need' a villa in the most expensive city in the world is your mental issue, it's not a 'real' thing. That's what I realised about myself anyway. And luckily I realised that before I was 30 and not when 60 like many...

Then they shouldn't have cheated. This is the same company that didn't do anything to stop it's network being used to wreck GitHub for a week (and yes, it's possible to avoid the GFW injecting JS onto your site - buy space in a non-China DC).
Long posts, the ability to embed media, and the simple, granular way to group contacts (friends, family, random people I'm "following" a-la Twitter, integrated live text/voice/video chat, etc.) are all things I prefer about it.

There are definitely negatives but so far the largest one I've found is that it was positioned as an alternative to both Facebook and Twitter but since none of those platforms are built on any open protocol (nor is G+ for that matter), it requires creating and maintaining yet another profile and platform for users. For the vast majority, that's just too much friction and it would require more than a nicer interface and a few features to see any large-scale adoption.

The trending or 'hot' algorithm is a bit different than the "top" algorithm.

I believe you're referring to the 'hot' algorithm which is meant to take velocity into account. Velocity tries to abstract away contextual factors like subreddit activity, number of votes, etc. and represent how quickly, relative to number of participants, a post is 'rising'.

The 'top' algorithm, however, is purely a factor of total vote (up - down) + time.
I would respectfully disagree. There are a great many foods which can have substantial short-term effects on blood sugar well outside the range that the body has the capability to process effectively.

This is a classic example of an underdamped control system leading to oscillations. It happens because the bandwidth of the control system isn't sufficient for the bandwidth of the input. As an engineer if I faced this problem I typically would try and increase the bandwidth of the control system to solve the problem. But that's not really an option in the human body (yet) so the only real solution is to try and control the bandwidth of the input.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_system#/media/File:Seco...

The more you control the input bandwidth (excess sugars) the less you're going to end up with oscillations and I suspect that those oscillations are what help people really put on weight. Eat too much sugar, it gets stored into fat and a sugar crash. That sugar crash presents as "false" hunger, so you eat again. Probably you eat too much sugar again, and so the cycle repeats.

There's probably a lot of variation from human to human on the insulin control system bandwidth, and there's a lot of variation in the diet different people choose to eat. So if one person has high bandwidth and generally good diet, perhaps it only makes a difference like you've suggested. Someone with low bandwidth and a terrible diet might see substantial improvements by doing nothing more than cutting large quantities of high GI food from their diet.

>"The point is there's a lot of ways to lose weight and there's no "best way" that works for everyone."

Incorrect. Eating at a consistent caloric deficit over a significant period of time will result in weight loss [1].
Any diet which incorporates that will 'work', different strategies of adhering to the deficit will allow different people to be consistent, which is the key to prolonged weight loss.

I didn't say that counting calories won't work, I just said that it's not an optimal solution.

There are ranges of protein, fat, carbs that is possible to lose weight on. Some of them are just more effective than others.
> I'm not saying github will be around forever, but I highly doubt they'll make the same mistake sourceforge is making now.

Github could be sold, just like Sourceforge was sold, and the new owners could behave very differently from the current owners.
There is usually a polite solution, though:

* The doctor: if your time is important that day it probably means you aren't taking sick leave. Politely cancel the appointment on the spot and book it with another doctor.

* The client: bill them for the 15 minutes that they were late, bill them for the extra time. If they want to extend the meeting make them sign for the extra cost before proceeding.

* Your mother: I'm sure she wouldn't mind taking the phone call later in the day, unless it's absolutely urgent - in which case the rest of your day is likely a write-off in any case.

* Your boss: after every meeting show them the result of this equation: <your hourly salary> x <number of people in the room> x <length of the meeting>.

Sometimes it doesn't work. My sister still calls me during office hours to chit-chat - having exhausted the polite option I am forced to rudely terminate the conversation after 5 minutes: "I can't chit-chat at work." That being said the polite option not working is a very rare exception.

You can work on it, it doesn't mean its going to happen.

Many things in life are inherently unpredictable. The number 1 cause of lateness is probably commutes. if your commute has a range of 50 minutes, to two hours. The only way to avoid being late is coming in hour early everyday. That's a massive cost.

Other stuff that can happen like, your webcam not working for an internet meeting, and so on.

Or an important client holding you up, before you before a meeting.

People aren't inherently being dicks, they're struggling to cope unpredictable nature of the world.
Impossible. Anyone who introduces regular exercise to their previously sedentary routine will almost invariably lose weight. I am sure that someone could do a contrived lab rat experiment where this is not the case, but the point is that regular exercise WILL lower weight.
Don't diet, but eat a healthy diet. By this point I'll get burned at the stake for this, but there is something to the Paleo diet. Our current diet is a nightmare in terms of not just weight, but health in general, more specifically, the rise in auto-immune disease. Research shows that a leaky gut is a _prerequisite_ (but not only factor) for developing auto-immune disease. One thing that causes leaky gut is gluten. Grains and seeds contain stuff that hurts your gut, why? Because grains and seeds have developed a defence for digestion because they need to come out the other side. I'm not a fad-following hipster, I just read literature on this, and I've seen first hand what gluten does to someone who's not even gluten intolerant. My wife has Grave's disease which is auto-immune. Her options were taking meds that devastate the thyroid and liver, or operate her thyroid and in the process likely develop the opposite of Grave's: hypothyroidism. She tried every other option, including different kinds of diets, until we read about the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP), which is a strict version of the Paleo diet. Her symptoms (constant 100-120 bbm heartbeat) went away within days. We've pinned it down to gluten as the main factor.

Counting calories is an extremely simplistic world view, and while it's very comforting to have a simple rule to follow, I believe it's a very bad idea to not care what you put in your body, as opposed to just how much of it.
Why the "native" adjective? Aren't all databases native?

No... no, it's not. Terribly antisocial would be to have it at lunch time. Let's not make it worse than it is, 9 o'clock can be inconvenient for some, but it's not "terribly antisocial".
I think that the point was that she had been routinely this late for a decade. At that point it's not something "running over" but rather bad time management/lack of respect for your customers.

This would only be a reasonable analogy if your late delivery had, literally, kept them waiting unable to otherwise occupy their time.

I've had a Twitter account for years but the only times I've used it were for customer service (harder for them to ignore public complaints, dedicated "social network" reps are probably better supported than the people staffing call centers), and for local "breaking" news (following demonstrations and riots here in Baltimore).

Otherwise it's always seemed to live up to its name and feels like a billion voices "twittering" about everything and nothing at the same time.
Well it's not the being on time itself, but because everything is punctual, the whole concept of being late gets stressful. And this is not 'just me' if you see aggression in traffic because people 'are late', if you see people running in supermarkets and sweating waiting in the cash register line. If you see people running in sweaty suits across London to make some meetings; you cannot tell me you get nice and relaxed by that. Yet most of us do it.

Top 5 Benefits of Roof Coatings – All Roofing Solutions, DE/PA Roofer
>"Impossible. Anyone who introduces regular exercise to their previously sedentary routine will almost invariably lose weight."

False. Say you're eating 3000 calories a day and you exercise for an hour per day and burn 500 calories, but your caloric maintenance is 2300 calories.
So you're at 2500 calories but you need to eat less than 2300 to lose weight. [1]

If you do not know how many calories you are eating, and your maintenance level you will not be able to ascertain the correct level to lose weight. You can exercise all you want, but if you're eating more than you're burning you will not lose weight.

Let's not get pedantic here, mr spock. Of course you need a caloric deficit, and yes, if you do start walking/exercising for an hour a day and follow that up with a few big macs and chocolate shake you'll gain weight. In reality, if people introduce exercise and keep their diets roughly constant, THEY LOOSE WEIGHT.
There are other tools that are free. And in my opinion better than this. I've used both RegExhibit and Reggy. Both appear to be Open Source, though development has appeared to have stalled on both. They are at least both worth looking at before you spend 14.99 on an app.
