Can you detail this more?

I've been studying the metric Protein Per Dollar for the last 3 years. Some conclusions(feel free to google or check my profile for the link, didnt want to self promote)-

>Lentils and Beans are the highest Protein Per Dollar items, (~100g/$), Flour technically is among this as well

>Chicken Breast and Milk(likely because its government subsidized) are around 50g protein/$. Some pork(around 2$/lb is competitive)

>Eggs, ground beef, and tilapia are closer to 30g protein per dollar

After that, protein gets expensive.

>20g protein per dollar is pretty good for fast food, try the dollar menu.

Most protein powder is crazy overpriced. I found Myprotein Impact and Cytosport are 60-50g protein per dollar.

We eat for 20$/week per person, and we both lift heavy weights.

As mentioned, I have these studies on my website if anyone is interested http://efficiencyiseverything.com/food/

Post an average day of eating, someone(or I) will calculate your protein/day.

I consider myself pretty normal(although I do lift weights), and I have meat protein with every meal. Protein Per Dollar, you can get chicken breast at 50g/$, making it very affordable.

That is the 'obsession' being discussed.

If you have lived in Europe, you know how absurd this sounds.

My suggestion-

Go home and do a C++ project.

Try turning on stuff with an arduino, then try making it useful.

Or try building a program for yourself.

Right?

The moment my programming abilities changed was when I had to write a complex database.

One day I was doing some python job automation and decided I wanted to store the data in a database. I found sqlite existed, now I'm an addict.

This guy knows his byzantine general's problem.

If POS worked, great.

I wouldnt trust it for a half decade of use.

Source? Is this true? I've seen apple users say this, but none of them are out of college, or they are STAHMs.

Does enterprise use this? Any big companies?

>So as long as the assets of the world make enough to service the interest on the debt things will keep chugging along. The real problem I suppose is how much of the world has to work to service the interest bill.

I worry that this is the case. Our best economic leaders have been wrong(or told to do wrong policies for political reasons for ~200 years).

Tasty candy today can spell a stomach ache later. Given the numerous times our grandparents generation has pushed off problems, I wonder if government debt is a short term political win, with long term ramifications(looking at Japan).

> that government debt is consumer surplus and not inherently a bad thing, and also that printing fiat currency specifically to pay for programs does not itself increase inflation

Sounds like when cigarette companies funded studies to 'prove' cigarettes were safe.

They even went full 'USA Freedom Act' by throwing the word Modern in the title.

Those are two non-political red flags. I'll save my personal ideas on economics as this gets into politics.

Really suprises me that a company would go out of their way to make software for Apple products exclusively.

No B2B, customers are likely pre-college grads, and the pool of customers are tiny.

Anyone like to hypothesize why a company would be exclusive to Apple?

>His sculptures, about 15cm in height, often represent a social stereotype as a critical observation on capitalism, power and bureaucracy.

Ahh the good ol artist commenting on capitalism.

Reminds me how I got hate for getting my wife a new non stick cooking pan for christmas, and some college hipster commented it was sexist.

Grow up, be an adult, and realize- We just wanted to cook eggs. And my wife asked for it for christmas.

That said, super impressed by his abilities-

I'm just trying to get my first programming job.

I cant seem to get past HR. My resume has that I'm a Chem Engineer BS, Industrial MS, 7 years in engineering, 2 years of Electrical Engineering.

The first page of my resume is my 10 years of non-career programming experience. Built a Dishwasher(embedded C++), full stack app(RN JS, Mysql PHP laravel), and smaller projects.

I cannot get past HR.

Every real life programmer I show my work to, knows I'm capable. Heck even some got me in touch with HR. Nothing came of it.

This was awesome.

Wish I knew the most interesting/popular of these.

My first virus/worm(one that wasnt adware from freeware games) was the Conficker-

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conficker

Think I got it for sticking my USB in college and HS computers. Back then having a USB full of cool things was a big deal. I probably infected hundreds of computers.

Apple users have the need to defend Apple at every turn.

Android users enjoy bashing Google at every turn.

Just like I bash M$ despite loving windows 10 and Excel... (actually I've gotten better about this)

Anyone else feeling like there is a resurgence in web?

Apps were the hot thing for a while, but now that major players have an app, they have figured out it matters little.

I dont do my shopping on the Target App. I'm sure they are getting economic indicators that web on mobile is just as effective.

>I'm not really sure how you can arrive at the conclusion that Apple are holding back; they seem clearly committed to improving privacy as demonstrated by their continuous work in the area.

Given the Apple phone was successfully hacked in the FBI case, I'm not sure why HN seems to think they are the bastion of privacy.

Given the other anti-consumer and anti-developer practices at Apple, I wouldn't trust them to protect privacy(today, and in the future when their stock price takes a hit).

>Notice that by adjusting how the fire propagates up, wind can also be simulated. I will leave that as an exercise for the readers who had the courage to read up to here.

This is what I cared to see.

The rest was not a mystery and seems like a pretty simple math/logic problem.

Although, now that I type this out, I am thinking the wind would be simple too...

Can anyone explain why the interest? I imagine there are college kids who do this type of logic.

My worst teacher bragged about how great of a teacher she was, and that she rightfully deserved 120k/yr.

She had a PhD, Masters, etc...

She would teach 2/5 days a week, and tell us to read the text book the other 3/5 days.

And her answer to anything libertarian was- That's fine, you can just build your own road, and put out your own fire.

Looking back on it, and believing her overly simplistic answers, I think a youtuber could have done a better job.

Wrong place to post this.

HN loves their government regulations.

As someone who went to a University you never heard of, I'm the highest paid in my group. I wont forget this in the future for my children.

Your skills are more important than the prestige of your school.

Interesting how they decide to remove features like 'seen' and 'online' in an effort to prioritize the actual message.

Offtopic- I hate those features to begin with, but I know I'm the product not the customer, and those features are to keep people on the app.

Post a city please.

It would be helpful to see real world executions.

re Diablo 3 HC-

Just focus on Vitality, pick a low difficulty level, and slowly grind the game.

Never died, had 1 close call due to Frozen.

Wait- your USB on your computer stops working?

Is this true for every component you plug in?

I imagine this is your stereo power supply.

I oddly would love to hear more.

Exactly my thought.

A cocktail of capacitors could do the trick.

This was brought up in Adam Ruins Everything, and his Automotive episode was so misleading that I don't trust anything he says.

>I don’t get why cities are built around cars.

Sure there is a fantasy that we could have cities that don't require roads. However our modern 5,000,000 population Metro areas wouldnt exist. Instead housing prices would skyrocket, and the lowest income people would be forced to live in rural areas.

> In densely populated cities cars should be banned outside of major roads

>I’d love it even more when there was no car sound

These are short sighted.

EDIT: I'm sorry to kill the fantasy, but wouldnt you rather hear why an idea doesnt work? Or maybe this is another case of 10%ers that care more about quiet streets than societal impact.

Do not criticize Apple for being Anti-consumer and Anti-developer.

Don't enjoy capitalism either.

Dont use extremes like I'm using. That isnt allowed.

Wait- 'This is satire'

Something I dont understand-

Play a 2$ steam game or spend dozens of dollars on card games.

Anyone care to explain?

>how to get beyond the pure showmanship.

That was the lesson.

Put on a show, and people will spend money.

Real life example- Cousin got a Macbook Air for Christmas, was shocked to see it had 0 USB ports.

She was uninformed and bought a product she didnt want. This is Apple's target demographic.
