Yes, yes -- this is a good comment.

shoots your comment into the all-consuming hellfire of the sun

A radio icon; a fixture of my weekends growing up. Rest in peace.

Again, the police are never there to help you.

By riding the coat tails and blatantly copying Apple.

Trolllolololol?

Doesn't surprise me that this was in Fremont, California at all.

~hacker news "moderating"~ strikes again

Simply staggering.

IBM is a professional services/consulting company. Not software or hardware or technology.

Why did this get reposted/ why was the previous hidden?

Most people don't have the time to move.

If you want to change your body composition, you can do it entirely with the time you already use - eating - without having to do anything else.

I find fixing people's diet habits -- then pushing them into fitness once they have clean eating down pat as a habit, is much better than "just run it off"

What's your body fat percentage?

That's not true at all in my experience.

Blood sugar spike = insulin response = insulin is a fat storage hormone = fat

Agreed. The Four Hour Body's "Slow Carb Diet" completely changed my life. I was insulin insensitive and game from an Italian background of low-protein high carb.

I lost 30-35lbs in 3.5 months. It was unreal. The weight came off, without exercise, every day.

When I plateaued, I cut diet soda as a treat and the weightloss continued.

I got to 150lbs at 6'0 -- too skinny. Now I eat more Paleo, but still low carb and still eat some legumes (lentils!)

I don't subscribe to the calories in calories out model at all.

Everyone seems to discount body composition.

Someone eating 2,000calories of carbs is going to look AND feel a lot different than eating 2,000 calories of protein and carbs bound with fiber.

I hate the crowd here that subscribes to some sort of human body perfect thermodynamic engine. It's complete bullshit.

It comes through in their cars. Anyone who's owned a german-built car knows.

God DAMN Apple's product pages are unparalleled.

I joined the beta at "2" and it's been incredibly stable on both of my Macbook Air's. Excited for the final refined release.

I personally believe iOS 8 has been the exception, not the rule.

Yosemite, including the Public Betas, has been rock solid.

Someone care to explain what's going on here?

In a nutshell?

- Injections - Prednisone Course - STRICT Paleo (low inflammation diet) - Supplementation: Cissus, Vitamin C, Tumeric, Ginger - Lost 20lbs (muscle, I was not overweight) - FOUNDATION TRAINING - Google It - Movement & Mobility Physical Therapy (not traditional PT) - Posture correction - Standing Desk - Upright posture sitting in car - Minimized sitting - Strength program (Crossfit)

6mm L5-S1 sequestered herniation and L4-L5 bulge. Strong sciatica pain, calf and glute atrophy.

Total time: 1 year.

This happens all the time with spine/back and discs. I was told I had to absolutely have surgery.

I didn't; I'm doing 95% better. I'm happy I didn't get a microdiscectomy

Bart is supposed to be a figure 8 loop in the bay, or at least a full loop through San jose and up the peninsula.

The rich will never let this happen in Palo Alto, atherton, etc.

Agreed completely, but look at what is systemically rewarded in SV.

Google X hasn't shipped a product. Let me know when they do. I won't hold my breath.

I mentioned Tesla. Unfamiliar with Rosa.

I am being judgmental, because if most of us are honest with ourselves it's what is the motivation in the Valley.

Where do you live, where do your kids go to school? East Bay? East Palo Alto? Doubtful.

I think it's clearly seen in the focus on design details, software flows, abstraction of technical configuration, focus on Music, Art, Media, etc.

I know many on here will discount that as marketing bullshit, but it really is woven throughout their products.

You do realize that white, male, educated -- are usually the ones with the money, right?

You're missing the point.

The problem is, we're focused on trivial bullshit. Parking, car services, groceries, housekeeping.

We're blessed with the most powerful software, hardware, all infinitely scalable and at the lowest cost ever (open source, AWS, cloud, whatever) and we're building bullshit lifestyle apps.

We're a long way off from the 70's and 80's. Steve and Woz's "bicycle for the mind" - Google's "information instantly for everyone" - we're building toys for the rich.

Make no mistake, Uber is for the rich. Taskrabbit is for the rich.

Average household income in the US. Remember, HOUSEHOLD. Is something like ~52K.

Do you think what you're working on will help that $52K household? Because Uber won't. Taskrabbit won't. Your new social network won't.

I know there are outliers. Theranos. 23andMe. Tesla (once it trickles down).

But most of us on here? We want a gadget, some sort of highly-viral network effect app that nets us a liquidity/exit event.

We don't care about income inequality, sexism, or the (middle) class. We want our stupid fucking house in Palo Alto, our Tesla S, and fuck all for anyone outside the bubble.

Maybe step back and decide if you're just selling digital sugar water or if you're actually going to change the world.

"for some reason"

Yeah, cars should only come in one color, right?
