* Vegetarian Adventists consume fewer “doughnuts, coffee, and eggs” than omnivore Adventists

* Vegetarian Adventists tend to have similar health outcomes as Mormons, who are not vegetarian but do abstain from alcohol and drugs and have strong sense of community

* Recent re-analysis of the Adventist Health Studies show the fish eaters – not the vegans or vegetarians – have the lowest relative risk for all-cause mortality (0.78 versus 0.89 for lacto-ovo vegetarians)

* Study found that non-vegetarian Adventists eat more doughnuts, drink more coffee, and eat more eggs than the vegetarians

* Researchers’ conclusion: “Among Seventh-day Adventists, vegetarians are healthier than nonvegetarians but this cannot be ascribed only to the absence of meat.” “Associations between diet and cancer, ischemic heart disease, and all-cause mortality non-Hispanic white California Seventh-day Adventists” by Gary E. Fraser, American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 70 No. 3

Please, let's get rid of the saturated fat bogeyman:

This is the part conventional “wisdom” doesn’t get: saturated fat in the diet doesn’t directly translate to saturated fats in the blood. It’s all how it’s metabolized. Saturated fat levels in the blood are influenced by the prevalence of carbs in the diet and the subsequent carb-generated lipogenesis process. -- http://www.marksdailyapple.com/saturated-fat/

1. If your metabolism and energy level is crashing throughout the day, change your diet, not the frequency. Look up intermittent fasting, and learn that this 6-8 meals per day is a myth: http://www.leangains.com/2010/10/top-ten-fasting-myths-debun...

3.

Why drop red meat? Eat more fish sure.

White bread -- get rid of the grains altogether. And, no, whole wheat bread isn't better for you:

So if we compare white bread to table sugar sucrose, white bread raised blood sugar more. If we compare a whole wheat bread to white bread, whole wheat bread raises blood sugar higher than white bread. And so much higher than table sugar, and by the way, much higher than many standard candy bars. So a Snickers bar is far better for you from a blood sugar standpoint than two slices of whole wheat bread. So the reason for that is the unique structure of carbohydrate in wheat. -- Dr. William Davis

Soda -- drink Tea, or water. Eat fruit. Fruit Juice isn't any better.

Peanut butter -- Replace it with actual nuts or nut butter if you must.

Sugar... Hey, we agree on something.

You saw the 100 foot radius bit, but ignore the sentence before. It's an opt-in solution -- If you don't want it, don't opt in.

First, you need to turn on auto-payments for each individual store where you’d like to use it—it’s impossible to tell Card Case to turn on auto-payments for every store in San Francisco.

I don't know why tristan_louis' comment is dead, but they bring up very good point, far more egregious than either the social sharing changes or the design and screen real estate issues:

The first thing that struck me is how much slower this reader is. There seems to be a refresh on every new move forward, which was less noticeable on the previous version, if at all. There also seems to be a substantially slower response time, on the order of a couple of seconds.

Reader is now painful to use, imo. I'm constantly waiting for it to catch up to my actions.

The problem with that mode is that the content area becomes way too wide. With a 1024-1280 px wide browser window, the sidebar makes the content area an acceptable width for comfortable reading.

That was my exact reaction -- barely usable on my 1280x800 screen. Until there's a better user style out there, this css makes the theme much better for me, by hiding the search bar and the feed toolbar:

    #top-bar { display: none; }
    #viewer-header { display: none; }

After breakfast? I would include breakfast as well. My energy levels after a breakfast of bacon and eggs is far steadier than after any breakfast cereals, toast, muffins, pastries, etc. Avoiding any large carb intake (post workout _possibly_ excepted) is key to steady energy levels.

For a more rational book, try Robb Wolf's "The Paleo Solution", which also has an extensive chapter on sleep and cortisol management.

I guess then, it depends on execution. If you're combining both of these numbers into one single metric of "goodness", then you'll just be accomplishing Pahalial's point of "legitimizing 'poor taste'". If, however, you can expose this information separately and well, then perhaps it will add value.

Personally, I'd like to break down the "rewatchability" metric into more components, to really get at the heart of the matter, like others here have commented. Pace, quality, fun, emotional impact, length, genre -- these are the things that really matter. But now we're getting into movie geek territory.

Speaking of movie geek -- I can't believe you left out the most interesting thing in that blog post. Where can we see a breakdown of what movies are where in that scatter plot? I want to know what those outliers on the high quality / low rewatchability scale are!

I really disagree with the premise of this post. Emotional impact (United 93), psychological impact (Black Swan), intellectual demands (Primer) all equate to a lower rewatchability score, since watching the movie takes a lot out of me. However, the more of an impact a movie makes, the higher my opinion of a movie. Because something is light and fluffy doesn't make that movie "better", it just means it's easier to watch.

Rating films this way may do a good job of the "so bad it's good" camp (Snakes on a Plane), but will do an incredible disservice to movies like Black Swan.

Did you not read the next 1.5 sentences?

Perhaps my http://hckrnews.com will suit you, since it archives anything that makes it onto the homepage (without crawling against the 'More' link).

I've resisted putting RSS feeds on hckrnews, because I think RSS feeds are a poor match for the format. Number of points and number of comments combine with the link to provide information that you don't get with an RSS feed. Often the utility of a link is not obvious from the source and title only.

For reference, a link to the hn thread discussing the session as it went live: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2988407

This article is extremely poorly written. If you look at the top graph, 0.05% of the 10,000 websites make use of the header. Of those, 61% had a value set to " * ". 0.05% of 10,000 is 5, so 3 websites had that header set to " * ". I guess 3 is just not quite as scary as saying 61%.

hckr news has data going back just over a year. I've thought about exposing the data via a ui other than 'get next day', but frankly have never had the need. Whenever I've wanted to revisit an item, it's been within a few days -- for anything more, there's hnsearch.

Your reasons given for building this are exactly why I built hckrnews[1], and why Peter Cooper built hackerslide[2].

Food and Health:

Music and Entertainment:

Anvil! The Story of Anvil (2008) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1157605/ Talk about never giving up on your dreams.

Metallica: Some Kind of Monster (2004) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387412/ The other side of fame.

http://hnresources.com/ is one.

Everyone who reads an article in the press about health and nutrition should be required to watch this video, Science for Smart People -- a presentation by Tom Naughton, who wrote and directed the movie "Fat Head". It is a brilliant deconstruction of bad science and the bad journalists that report the bad science, in the context of health and nutrition.

One of many points he makes is the ridiculousness of reporting on miraculous health claims that have only been shown to work on rodents.

In other words, someone bought the domain, and pointed it to the same IP. It's been mentioned before, but pg should do a redirect to the correct canonical domain, since there is nothing stopping the domain owner from hijacking, or doing otherwise bad things with it.

antirez -- looking good. But may I ask why the name 'redis-trib' -- what does the trib mean? Short for contrib? Tribune? All I see is the nsfw definition, but maybe that's just me.

Very true. Actually, unmentioned here yet is "The Social Network (2010)" which has one of the most realistic scenes of coding I've seen. The problem is that it takes David Fincher and a script by Aaron Sorkin to make someone sitting at a computer both realistic and interesting.

Primer (2004) - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390384/

Classic entrepreneurs hacking in the garage, with some unanticipated science fiction side effects.

In addition to the other comments, this is not how you would implement the code in node. Since node is single threaded, and the isPrime function is not asynchronous in any way, there is no point to writing it as if it were. Simplifying it shows it running in 2/3 the time.

I was curious about this as well, as it looked to me like a ripoff of "The Flavor Bible", by Page and Dornenburg (Same method of using bold all caps, then bold, etc for showing the important ingredients). However, from the book link, apparently: The data for this book was obtained by programitally[SIC] examining just under a million publicly available recipes.

That method of acquiring the data shows in the less useful results. For example, with basil, it includes in the top pairings SALT, GARLIC, ONIONS, BLACK PEPPER. Which, of course, would be found in pretty much any recipe involving basil. Yet, it misses the more classic pairings like mozzarella cheese, eggs, lamb, pizza, etc.

My recommendation -- buy "The Flavor Bible".

I am quite sure that is done deliberately. I can't find a good resource to point to, but this article by Mark Boulton describes why you would do that with bulleted lists. I would assume that the same applies to ordered lists:

> With the advent of desktop publishing it became suddenly very easy and cost-effective to produce bodies of text. The problem was these bodies of text work within a box. Every character in this box had to be within the box, Hanging Punctuation requires characters to be out of the box. This was a problem for the software and as a result was ignored. An important aspect of typesetting just swept under the carpet like that. It’s a great shame.

And:

> A ranged left body of type is pretty much destroyed, aesthetically, when punctuation isn’t hung. The eye looks for straight lines everywhere, when type is indented in this way, it destroys the flow of text.

I love node, but can we please stop submitting every minor release? Anyone interested in a minor release is already following node.
