Had a colleague who went from near-obese to slim in about 6 months. One tip was to eat small amounts throughout the day, and stuff like bread that fills you up, not stuff like salad that will leave you feeling empty. From my own experience

Your body needs fuel (nutrition) to sustain its activity. If you take in more fuel than your activity requires, your body will convert it into excess fat. If you take in less fuel than your activity requires, your body will burn fat. What e

Definitely! As thrilling as the first novel is, when I think of the Dune universe it's content from the sequels that first springs to mind. Great balance of speculative fiction, philosophy, character development and action.

“this article isn't great” From your description, that seems like an understatement. If you cherry pick starting points to make s graph look dramatic and leave out crucial context so that readers will assume the worse, that’s not just

In Christianity, you admit that you are flawed and wicked, but you can repent by accepting Christ as your lord and saviour, and by helping the poor and needy, and then carry on with your business, providing you publicly pour scorn on the un

But do you actually believe the official version of events for Salisbury?

I think the reason for writer’s block is when the complexity of the plot of the story (or the architecture if the software you’re writing, or...) becomes too great. To write another page it’s not enough to just come up with some new ideas.

Because it will use the incredible technology known as hyperlinks. The point is to collate publically available information into an accessible single location that will allow easy discovery of hidden agendas and conflicts of interest. You d

Someone should make a press transparency database/site. Keep it factual: list of a reporter’s previous articles and institutions; other affiliations; topics they have covered repeatedly; stakeholders/owners of the institutions; co

When someone uses the word “privilege” it’s a good indicator that the rest of the discussion is going to be a waste of time.

The far more likely explanation for all the evidence cited in the article is that Shakespeare got to know many interesting people who could tell him about faraway lands and aristocratic life, which fed into the settings of his plays, and Ba

Are you being deliberately obtuse? This document evaluates whether the extradition request is legitimate: do the allegations amount to crimes, are they faithful characterisations of the accusations, does the request come from the proper aut

This is just to save face and make it look like the whole thing wasn't driven by US pressure from the outset. There's no chance he will end up standing trial in Sweden, unlikely they could even bring such a flimsy case to court, a

It may interest you to know that this lawyer was a former government minister and then a named partner at Bodström & Borgström, the other partner being both the justice minister who once presided over the illegal rendition of two terror

Why would he be worried about standing trial in Sweden? There's no way the accusations can be proven. Explain to me how the prosecution would work? If Sweden has a remotely sane legal system the case would be thrown out of court.

by Tycho 7y ago
That's what the Swedish authorities are saying but for all we know the alleged victim is not even standing behind these claims. Since the Swedish authorities just want to 'interview' Assange there is no downside for them to

I doubt it. Look at Gary Mckinnon. I would rather be in the UK than Sweden. But regardless, he was on Ecuadorian soil.

It is not established that he 'fled' to the UK, versus leaving with permission, and obviously if they really wanted to they could have stopped him leaving. It's not clear what exactly the accusation is or what the injured par

He was hiding from extradition to the US. It's incredible that this is not obvious to you.

Yes what they did is totally 'normal' if you ignore the elephants in the room that Assange had a legitimate claim to asylum from US persecution (and that they refused to promise no extradition) and that the case was ridiculous in

We’re talking about management all through the layers of the company. Vast majority of managers don’t have so much wealth that they are indifferent to the many years of future earnings.

But it’s not given unconditionally, they can be fired at any time. Highly paid employees typically face a huge switching cost and have every incentive to do whatever ensures they will keep collecting the pay cheque, long term, letting them

It’s not so ridiculous... an organisation will want the decision makers to be the people with the most skin in the game, and the easiest way to achieve this is pay them more money. Maybe the answer is for more people to work as contractors

The case was ridiculous. The way they pursued it was ridiculous. The way Sweden pursued extradition was ridiculous. The only lens through which it makes any sense is when you realise it’s a ruse to limit or remove his freedom, because he cr

He never had much support once the smear that “two women accused him of rape” was intentionally leaked and broadcast. Most people don’t dig into the details, and no one wants to defend “a sex offender.” And, since the British high-brow medi

What a disgraceful episode for our governments, the media, and the public who seem to have fallen hook, line and sinker for a blatantly orchestrated smear campaign. I don’t understand what the hell goes through people’s minds when they see

Does anyone have more info about this or know of similar projects? We lean on the many of the statistical and mathematical libraries (numpy, scipy, ruptures, pandas) to help automate the analysis of 1000s of related signals when our alerti
