What else did he eat? Sugar will raise your insulin level, which directs more blood sugar to fat cells. So it's not just a case of calories in calories out.

Who has better connections with Trump? Sadly to say, that is not an irrelevant fact anymore. Trump is clearly the kind of president that would reach in to legal rulings he's paid not to like.

I think the GP was serious. I totally agree with you. It took years for South Beach / Ballpark in SF to become anything that remotely resembles a neighborhood. I remember considering it, briefly in 2008, but my gf decided it wasn'

Good points, but we are still running against the age old problem of a designed environment vs a natural environment. Perhaps an argument could be made that, this time, architects have finally gotten smart about the failures of designed spa

Also the T is the least well served line. Shadows of racism because of where it ends up, but still. The neighborhood ends up being filled with people rushing home after work, and since it isnt a mixed area, ie: not many families, the after-

The problem is zoning. If zoning didn't outlaw the type of cities they are describing, then perhaps it would happen. This is why people are now becoming skeptical of new construction, new neighborhoods in the Bay Area. For a San Franci

That's fair - random person on the internet, I get it. I have common usernames on the various services you know and love, so feel free to dig about. As for transparency, there is a big push to increase the trust in Google Cloud. We&#x2

As an engineer on cloud, at Google, that is very extremely patently false. First, all your data at rest, on disk, is encrypted. You can even supply your own keys if you wish: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/d

Exactly - when the weather report says "its dangerous to go outside" and "exposed skin will freeze in less than 1 minute", there's no amount of clothes that'll save you.

This reads like the "internet scare pieces" that were common "back in the day" (lol), circa the late 90s. The summary is: People are doing things they used to do in person, only now on the internets, and its bad for some

Air Canada isn't a global company. It's a flag carrier for Canada only. The rest is wishful thinking. Building an industry isn't just top down (all the braggy stuff was about top down), the bottom up stuff is critical and imp

I came here to to vote and post my respects to an essential part of geek, computer and hacker culture. However, that this isn't on the front page already if a significant sign of the bias of hackernews. I could imagine an alternate rea

Google isn't a 'happy fun startup self', but it is a pretty decent place to work. And people do care. Also, they are de-emphasizing sodas, but what ones are there are free.

It isn't even so simple as "work with others" - the other people involved here aren't even thinking at this level. Leap seconds are an ugly hack that were inserted without any thought as to the impact on computer systems

Additionally there is no discussion about selection bias here. For example, we know that since it's an internet survey, everyone on the survey has the internet or an ability to use the internet (eg: public library access?). That rules

I read/skimmed about half of it, I didn't see much discussion about selection bias. When I first saw "internet survey" I was instantly skeptical. Selection bias is massive, the types of people who take these polls tend

By design, right? The other bets are exactly that - bets. The point of Alphabet is to surface visibility as to how much these bets cost. Not to showcase their profitability.

That's why yubikey is important - it does it's own verification of the site. You can't MITM it.

2 factor authentication is key here. The ubikey is a gold standard for business - no one should do serious business without it! For everyone else, I think the new 2fa Google App approach is better. When you go to login, your Google App pus

It's quite well known that rich people are the least affected by policies like anti-LGBT. Thiel may not personally have much to lose if gay marriage was banned, but for many people it makes a huge difference. For example child rights
