'60s but yes. The last innovation was the invention of chemotherapy, which I won't tell you about since it's not very pleasant but you can find the whole thing in 'Tripping Over The Truth' by Travis Christofferson.

If you look around your an find lots of graphs like this:

http://medicine-opera.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/cancer-...

which show that rates haven't really changed since 1930, give or take.

The variance you see in the graph is things like lots more people smoking then not smoking any more, the prevention methodology of either finding cancer early or preventing high-risk people (e.g. mastectomies). But the actual chance of death hasn't really changed.

Compare and contrast to things like surviving anything else (heart attack, stroke and so on) and it's night-and-day.

Not OP, but FYI people do this all the time on /r/fasting on reddit.

Most people feel worst around day 2/3 when transitioning from glycogen to ketosis, after that you feel great.

Why should you fast if you eat healthy and have no extra weight? Two reasons:

1) What most people think is healthy is killing them. Even if someone eats paleo or keto, which are much closer to our ideal diet than anything else, they will still do things like eat a corn-fed steak. Corn-fed meat and fish is low in omega-3 and high in omega-6 and both of these things are very bad for you (omega-3 deficiency is the root dietary cause of depression as just one example). Yet, people think "I'm eating healthy".

2) Metabolically challenged cells are a definition of cancer cells. When doctors think your cancer may be metastatic they give you a PET scan. A PET scan measures the emission of positrons out of some radioactive glucose you're given. The glucose is disproportionately taken up by cancer cells for a couple of reasons, one is that they can't process ketones. Then they show you cool pictures of where the positron-emitting glucose is in your body, which is where the tumors are. If you fast, your glucose is low and those cells don't survive since there is no glucose. See 'Cancer as a Metabolic Disease' by Seyfried.

[warning: The above is not medical orthodoxy, but then medical orthodoxy hasn't made any progress on cancer in ~60 years]

Most people think (like I did) that because they think a sugar crash is the same thing as hunger. Hunger doesn't feel anywhere near as bad. Once you're in ketosis, which is the 72 hour mark (give or take) of water-only fasting you actually feel great. And if you do a keto or paleo diet you won't feel bad in the first place.

My longest fast was 9.5 days and I felt great the whole time and lost a ton of weight amongst various other benefits.

Remember, humans used to fast all the time and it was just normal because either food was unavailable (there didn't used to be unlimited pop tarts for everyone) or for spiritual reasons. Both what we eat and when we eat were all invented in the last few hundred years for the most part (chicken was about 100 years ago, breakfast was 2-300 years ago depending when you count it). Most of these inventions have been a bad idea.

Come join us on /r/fasting and /r/keto on reddit, or read Dr. Fung's books on obesity and on fasting, or Gary Taubes various books, or Dr. Wahls books, or Prof. Seyfried's textbook.

If you have Mathematica, the ML is insanely automated and easy to use to prototype with.

A Mathematica license is $99 or something.

By design :-)

Trying to make this better with open GeoIP data over at http://browserlocation.co/

webtask is pretty neat

As the website says - "Run code with an HTTP call. No provisioning. No deployment."

Just run javascript at an endpoint. Done. It was built to make Auth0 run and the whole thing runs from the cli.

Then add them to the map? :-)

I've been building exactly this:

I have a JS library coming also for use when the w3c geolocation fails. The data is open and downloadable with cities etc (CSV right now). There's a mailing list for updates, and anyone can contribute just by opening the website in a browser!

This. Read "Tripping over the truth" by Travis Christofferson and "cancer as a metabolic disease" by Seyfried.

I'd start with a 3 day water-only fast and then stay low calorie keto for a long time.

Presumably it was Stapleton airport that was ruled out but these days DIA would be fine? Super extra long runways, land and all that is now available?

This isn't a rational decision, this is war.

Google screwing with phones, Apple will screw with search. Apple isn't running out of money or smart people, so they probably have a shot if they want it.

I've been an evangelist and hired them in the past. It's hard and expensive. Then when you have an evangelist, you have to pay a bunch of money to fly them around to conferences. They burn out. And then, when you go to a conference, most of the people manning booths aren't super excited or inviting.

So I figured, why not offer evangelism as a service? Help man your booth, plan great talks, run and attend meetups, help with online evangelism. Maybe you just want to know what's going on at conferences.

It's not a replacement if you want a full-time person who truly believes in your product, but it's a way to fill out your team or hire someone to do a conference for you here or there, far cheaper than hiring someone. All feedback welcome, especially ideas on how to reach the right audience.

Well, kinda. A lot of the coding and early work was done in Cambridge but the first node I think was in Regents Park.

Nobody would use scissors to fulfill a kickstarter project.

It was based on the $4.50 cost in the comments from the reseller plus looking at alibaba. I'm not claiming it's super accurate.
