A great video if you want to understand more on obesity - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKC3hiyLeRc

Most of the lifestyle diseases like obesity, diabetes, heart ailments are a manifestation of carbohydrate intolerance.

However, everyone has different tolerance to carbs so the pattern is not uniform, but as recent studies and data shows, most of us are not that lucky

It's hard. You can keep curries and meat appetizers. Although you'd need to add greens which most indians don't consume regularly like kale, broccolli, spinach etc

How is it a propaganda and what would they gain from it ?

Carbs are the most commercially profitable food to produce - sourced from subsidized corn or wheat and have a high shelf life.

Being an Indian, I was raised on a diet with the major macro-nutrient as carbohydrates (wheat and rice), it was hard to switch to a low carb ketogenic diet. But once I switched the health benefits were tremendous - 30lb weight loss and prediabetic symptoms gone.

Also, ketogenic doesn't mean you completely give up on carbs. I take about 2-3 cups of green vegetables everyday. These veggies have very low amount of carbs < 10-20gms. Rest is fiber which has no glycemic load. Also, once you are keto-adapted, all the craving for carb goes away as your brain is well fed on Ketones - much cleaner fuel when compared to glucose.

What's so great about Ben Horowitz to spend 20$ ?

+1 me too

Always been curious about this - wont nuclear plants increase thermal input of earth ? True for fossil fuels too which were never burnt in such vast quantity

These energy sources are outside of solar energy so how much more can they warm up the earth ?

I don't need to invest anywhere. My company invests for me in 401k and by the time i retire i will get $401,000 as the name suggests :)

Time Warner stock price closed at 89$ on Friday. The deal if 109$ per share.

Newbie trader question - If if buy the shares for time warner on monday morning, would I be able to make profit ?

The author is just gaga over google. He presents no comparison, no benchmarks and no mention of alternatives except docker swarm.

I use Webpass. Get 600mbps on my wifi AC router. It's amazing and I'm super happy with it. Hoping with google fiber speed gets even faster.

But wait, how did it happen ?

I have used this tool multiple times for taking interviews. I like it

We mostly had a ruby stack. It worked for most stuff albeit being slow. We stayed away from java until clojure came in.

Also starting with elixir - taking inspiration from functional clojure for networking stuff.

I know the author personally, having worked with him for some time before he left. Brilliant guy. He pretty much brought Clojure into our tech stack :)

We created our microservice router in Elixir. It is rock solid and even the deployment is a breeze with exrm.

Even though I am the only one in the team who picked up Elixir, but soon we will have more. Elixir and its tooling is a welcoming change.

What happened to the HP memristor ? Are they going to launch ever ?

At least it's not all the conditions in a single line :)

Have you tried Logstasher ? https://github.com/shadabahmed/logstasher

Asking because I wrote it .. giggle :)

Yes . .16 quadrillion seems closer

I am still skeptical for this . . the basic approximation formula gives a ballpark .. and when I put 159 million in the formula it gives me 12640500079500000 which is 12 quadrillion ... http://www.tools4noobs.com/online_tools/number_spell_words/

Reason I say this is - let's assume all 159 million bangs are expanded then 159*159 millions = 25 quadrillion

Do you have the exact number for the 8th iteration ?

Awesome . .even I was close to 150 million but never the exact number anyway .. thanks for this

Thanks :) This is my first article to break into HN top 10 and also got me max upvotes

Not confused .. I had initially only had the image and not XKCD link until someone asked me to credit them .. I added the link without noticing the text. .removed the link now :)

haha .. that is so funny :P I did warn, though about not running it for the 7th iteration unless you want 125 million bang bangs in your history file :)

Yes .. only sh and bash ...in zsh, the series does grow but not so explosively

Yes, this is a company policy. The method just a way to subvert that

Here's a 1 liner port in ruby :

(l = ->(n,s=',o=0,c=0){ puts s and return if s.length == n || l.call(n,s+')',o,c+1) || o<n/2 && l.call(n,s+'(',o+1,c) if o>=c }).call(6)
