No problem, I know the feeling :) it can be hard to avoid responding emotionally if you see something that is aggravating even if it might be a misinterpretation (as I sincerely think it is here.) I should not have made the 'smart arse

It's not worth responding here really so this'll be the last - you assume calories in and weight out are perfect measures of energy conservation in a closed system. Here's an experiment that refutes your position despite your

I couldn't agree more (see my comment interactions in this thread.) It surprises me how ideological people get about it in several ways: 1. You must feel ashamed for your laziness and greed - anything other than humble capitulation to

again the smart arse comments... How about, instead of lashing out questioning/attacking what I said in a civil way? Is it so hard? Would you talk to someone this way in person and expect a good response? This isn't YouTube. Anywa

I'll reply to all the dissenting comments just here to avoid duplication and since you were actually civil about it. Yes that is the most likely answer I agree, however it doesn't make it the ONLY one. I have dieted using a '

Do you think this is a civil way to respond to a point? Would you like me to talk to you like this in real life? How would you feel if I did? Or how might you expect me to react to you if you spoke to me that way? I used to hold HN to a hig

Are you sure about that? The body is not as simple as you assume, and weird stuff happens that makes literally no sense based on a simple energy in/energy out equation that can't only be explained by self-delusion. It's funny

Ah yes! The sanctimonious blame game. So very common with this problem. I do have to ask though, did you read the article at all? 'For example, men with severe obesity have only one chance in 1,290 of reaching the normal weight range w

Great :) I am glad there was something at least somewhat constructive in there, I did intend to debate the points rather than you or anybody else personally if that wasn't clear. The irony is that I am not _hugely_ that interested in W

>Wow. You must love recursion. I like to discuss, but please make specific points. Like I did above. I made points, a number of them, not sure what you're saying here? And how is it recursive? I am responding to you, that's how

And? This bears no relevance to the point I made. What I said was: '...then interjected the piece several times with discussion about their political research website product' If you're making the comparison in that Wolfram i

Tip for these kind of discussions - don't get personal unless it's relevant - my feelings on this (which you misinterpret actually) are irrelevant, and this just sounds like a bit of an underhand dig whether you intended it as suc

So it's not ok to point out blatant product placement in an otherwise great article on a historic figure? If somebody wrote a piece on Abraham Lincoln, then interjected the piece several times with discussion about their political rese

How would you feel if you read the same piece on a microsoft site with constant interjections about how you can do amazing stuff with excel now? Would you find the comments here 'tiresome' and make a passive aggressive comment abo

Sure, but what about private state in the unikernel? If I exploit it, I have access to everything inside it without restriction, I could even change the way the drivers work totally transparently to the rest of the software. Is the idea tha

Yeah this frightens me too :) and things like rowhammer [0] are surprising in this regard. Nothing can be trusted, but you can have a little more faith in some things. [0]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Row_hammer

How secure were these devices? How much work was put onto application developers to maintain isolation? I mean it wasn't feasible back then since we didn't have MMUs (ifaik) This argument is pretty poor, since we've done a lo

I think I'll get downvoted for this, esp. on HN, but I think the main surprise people have with this kind of thing (+ what you're missing out with the comparison to men frankly) is the significant biological difference between men

This is in large part why I am so impressed by the fix. U9 arguably one of the worst games ever released, though largely because the series is otherwise so great (8 wasn't great but after patches wasn't _terrible_.) Not many peopl

And given MS's business practices in the past (seem a very different company these days) it's actually pretty believable at least some of this was on purpose. Certainly when you take into account all the undocumented API functions

Perhaps Microsoft's recent move towards open source might might thinks easier - as far as I can tell there are far too many copyright issues with the _entirety_ of the windows source code for a complete open sourcing there, but they co

Yeah this is exactly what I mean by a certain kind of logical thinking. It's made worse by these tasks seeming a lot more simple than they actually are, before you even think about accidental complexity. What's frustrating is when
