Well... yes and no. 5000 calories is a lot, even in high-caloric foods. I think you would poop a lot and you wouldn't WANT to eat that much food because you wouldn't need to. The calorie argument is a red herring - it is a piece of information, but only a small one.

But I can tell you this. After eating high-fat (animal fats, butter, coconut oil, olive oil), no grains/legumes and virtually no sugar for a year, and not counting calories at all or exercising any more than I normally did, I lost 15 lbs and 2 inches off my waist. Actually that happened in the first 3 months, but I tracked it for a year. I went from 170 lbs to 155. If I were overweight, I would have lost a lot more. I have been eating this way for 4 years now, and after increasing my non-grain carbs a little I am at 160 with no effort. And I feel better than I ever have. There are other great effects of eating this way, such as reducing inflammation.

A year or so ago I did track what I ate and measured the fat/calories/sugar for a week. It was typical, and I made no adjustments to my diet.
The daily average came out to 2300 calories, 54 grams carbs, 186 grams fat, 18 grams sugar. I actually expected the calories to be higher, but that is what I found. I did actually think for a moment "oh no, I'm not eating enough... the average male should consume..." NO! That is generalized hogwash for the masses based on old information (I can't even call it science). Watch this video by Dr Peter Attia on Vimeo who talks about how our Dietary Guidelines are what they are. I know.. it's long, but it's really interesting. He has some really deep info on his website about how our diet and fat affects our cholesterol. Another fun fact - high cholesterol isn't bad. Another fun fact - half of all people who have heart attacks have normal cholesterol. Cholesterol is simply one thing, one factor in the grand scheme... but you know what doctors say... you need to lower it, I want you to take statins. (which are at the top of the most prescribed drug lists, in quantity and in dollars) But I digress...

I think it would be hard to eat 5000 calories in a day. I can see where someone doing vigorous work all day would require more food, but that is not saying the same thing as "just eat fewer calories and you will lose weight". I can only explain so much... I referenced some good books that go into far greater detail on the topic. Your body operates on hormones, and what you eat directly impacts that process. Calories do not. It's really that simple. But please, don't take my word for it, find those books and read them. The information is out there.

It's not a meme that a substantial portion of Mad Max Fury Road was shot on greenscreen. As much as any other big blockbuster like The Avengers. The only difference is that many Mad Max Fury Road (which I loved) are in plain denial about the extent of the CG in the film. There is a reason it was nominated for VFX.

Oracle has to defend its business and it would be stupid for them not to go after the ginormous megacorp Google if they didn't see a chance of making a PR splash with the public and the shareholders.

I suggest you watch this extremely insightful BBC documentary called "F**k You Buddy". It largely explains how the above type of viewpoint gained ascendance in certain circles. The short answer: much of our current economic ideology is based on the game theory work of paranoid schizophrenic John Nash. The implication of Nash's work can be described in the "Prisoner's Dilemma", where cooperation is negative, and the only way to reliably win is to betray your neighbour. Nash's ideology puts forward a hypothetical version of humans where we are all out to betray one another for our own selfish gain. However, I would put forward the fact that Nash's mental illness may have coloured his worldview. His schizophrenia caused him so see paranoid conspiracies everywhere he looked. The worldview implied in his game theory ideology reflects this picture of humans as selfish backstabbing automatons. I would say that although there is some reality in this view, humans also have undeniable altruistic characteristics that contradict his cartoonish view.

It took some digging, but there was a video released as part of the announcement.

Not rick-rolling - it actually does have Dean Kamen sitting in the new chair.

Vimeo's guidelines reject certain categories of video entirely.

• "Upload only videos you created yourself" rules out videos created by a minor child or videos uploaded by someone acting on behalf of an author without unmetered or at least 100 GB/mo broadband.
• Users may "showcase your creative work" but not "upload videos with a commercial intent". The guidelines don't make it easy to tell where Vimeo draws the line between the two.

But some older restrictions appear to been loosened:

• For six years (July 2008 through October 2014), the Vimeo guidelines also stated "No screen-captures of video games or gameplay videos", which meant video game reviews must be posted to a service other than Vimeo.
• Until recently apparently, users of iOS and Android were blocked from viewing the video unless the uploader subscribed to Vimeo Plus at the time of the upload.

You mentioned plural "more options out there". Which of said "more options" fills these gaps in what Vimeo allows users to post?

Imagine an alternate track where our electronics had been developed on a tiny scale, but there was this burning human desire to increase the scale over time so we could walk beside and through the individual components. If anyone made anything smaller people would just shrug and say, "What's the point of that?" There would be electron theme parks where you purchase units of charge to propel you through the rides. The thought of a clock strapped to the wrist would seem uncomfortable or disgusting... to discover the Time rational people make a pilgrimage to a Clock. Also imagine that in place of countless tiny mass-produced things, there was but one of each type of thing in the world, and folks would geographically converge to perfect it.

What if football, baseball, basketball and all participation sports are evolved from games devised by the ancients as a means for human participants to engage in simple algorithmic operations to compute the solution of some larger problem... with resulting regional and global metrics of the tournaments to be fed into some other apparatus (which has been lost) that compiles the partial results and alerts when the problem has been solved? What if the apparatus has not been lost, but we simply gaze upon it, having forgotten its function?

What if the Universe itself is the machine? No 42 jokes please.

There is evidence that an ancient civilization attempted to up-scale their electronics, perhaps with the help of aliens only Ljuba Stojanovic can now communicate with.

Most of the dietary advice we have been fed (pun intended) in the last 50 years or so is not based on any real science.
I could go into details, but I am not the expert. Listen to people much smarter than me. Watch this video as a primer: https://vimeo.com/45485034

Then go read Good Calories Bad Calories, and The Primal Blueprint.

Personally, I have been grain and grain product free for 3 years by following the principles put in the above (and some other) resources. No low-fat BS, no whole-grain BS. No fad diets. I won't preach, just do a little research on your own. Once the physical addiction to carbs/sugar was broken, my body doesn't want them anymore. I'm in my 40s, and I only wish I could have done this earlier in my life.

Given the latest research described in this paper I think futurama is actually predicting the future.

who see hard-core environmentalists as a bunch of hippies who are constantly yelling that the sky is falling and want government intervention in everything.

No, we rightly see them as ignorant about environmental stewardship and actually promoting "green" agendas that hurt our ecosystems and economies. Theses hard-core nutters are regurgitating baseless propaganda and haven't even examined the facts. They are useful idiots for the federal appropriation of land to meet the UN Agenda 21 and UN Agenda 2030 goals of global population control and forced reduction. Go read those documents, they're not conspiracies they're actual "agendas" -- Of course the "environmentalists" are mental, they're uneducated as dirt about the issues they're screaming about. They haven't even read the insidious plans for global manipulation that are driving the narrative they "hard-core" promote. These morons refuse to even acknowledge or consider, let alone accept, any information other that the easy to believe propaganda that's being used to influence their actions against the interests they claim to promote.

If I told you that the KKK was a great group of people who are promoting racial equality, would you fucking believe it and never read anything other than KKK propaganda to reinforce your beliefs? Or would you look to multiple sources and then come to your own conclusions? The "hard-core environmentalists" have done the former, and thus are as radicalized and sometimes even as violent as the KKK.

The problem has always been its use as a whipping point to socially control the populace. Just like prohibition was at the turn of the century in the US.

Before Prohibition of Alcohol there was much competition between gasoline and alcohol engines. You could either pay others who extracted and controlled the supply of gassoline or just make Alcohol with yeast added to anything with starch and/or sugar via fermentation. People were making their own fuel, and Standard Oil did not like this. Hence, the propaganda of "drunkards are abusing women and children" was used to politically brow beat the politicians into accepting prohibition. This created a huge market for the newly illegal alcohol, which you could formerly just make yourself. Once standard oil had the fuel game in the bag, the prohibition was lifted, but not without harsh laws to restrict the production of non-licensed alcohol distillation. Even today you can make beer in many places, but not whiskey or rye/grain alcohol (which you could use to power your car and avoid the gasoline oligopoly).

Of course you only ever think about the human consumption of booze when you talk about prohibition.... Even though there are still drag races on the racing channel featuring cars that use clean burning alcohol fueled engines. Talk about fucking ignorance.

The same thing happens with "climate change" -- an over-exaggerated scaremongering used to manufacture consent for a global tax on all products, dubbed "Carbon Tax", in order to fund the next phase of the new world communist regime. Meanwhile rare earth mining, which is essential for production of clean energy, is kept suppressed in the west under "nuclear proliferation" laws because Thorium is found in proportion to any rare earth minerals, such as neodymium or dysprosium. This keeps the west dependent on communist china who has shit environmental regulations, and prevents the clean energy and non-volatile Thorium Salt Reactors (which actually consume nuclear waste) from being a threat to oil, gas, and coal. See also: Fukushima scaremongering used to attack the nuclear industry worldwide -- which produces cleaner lower carbon footprint energy that releases less radioactivity into the environment than even wind or hydroelectricity once you factor in the environmental impacts of construction, transport, and mining of materials. You don't have manufacturing in the west because it's cheaper to manufacture near your source materials, so this is why the western economies are being gutted: anti-Thorium anti-nuclear scaremongering. TL;DR: The cleaner Thorium energy is being suppressed by every other dirtier energy and hurting our environment and economy.

See also: the ecological scaremongering, which actually hurts the ecosystem and economy all so that, as Hillary Clinton's emails reveal, our government officials can promise our federal land's rare earth mineral rights to foreign countries such as Russia and China.

TFA is propaganda. They are reinforcing ignorance by shaming anyone who questions the "accepted" narratives as "ignorant" rather than just skeptics or scientists with contrary evidence. A true scientist knows all scientific "consensus" is always wrong, that our established beliefs should be questioned by new and contradictory evidence is paramount, not "ignorance". If you don't know the things I've posted herein, you are being kept ignorant by the very people who claim to be educational on the issues that we face today.

Notice how all dissenting views get modded to -1

Frankly I think it's wrong even trying to divide the world into "dissenting" and "assenting." At least, it's not a very scientific way of looking at it. The author of the paper has a good discussion at the beginning of this paper.

You shouldn't mod people up based on whether you 'agree' or 'disagree' with them. Rather, mod them based on whether they've read the paper or not, and the quality of their analysis. Scientific thought should be respected.

The author of the paper is Richard Zeebe, his main focus is drilling ocean cores. Here is a nice video of the guy, he seems like a straight-shooter and a reasonable scientist.

http://re.jrc.ec.europa.eu/pvg...
Selecting Berlin, for a 2-axis tracking mount, a 1kW panel outputs on average over the year 1300kWh, or 15% or so of nominal expected power.
This is questionably above 900kWh (11%) for a non-pointed much simpler static mount.
However.
7776 'solar cells' - these are not solar panels.
The pictured thing looks very much like a simple fixed vertical panel.
This would come out to 700kWh or so/kWp of panel.

If we assume they talk of germany - 'up to 30000kWh/year' would mean you'd need 42kW of solar panel.
This would be around 230m^2.
Checking https://vimeo.com/154154924 - it gives dimensions of 25*5.5m. This is 137m^2.
This sort of vertically oriented panel is relatively insensitive to position on the earth - as it gets worse as you go towards the equator.

Ew. I think I see what they're doing.
If you cover a vertical panel of 25*5m in solar panels, and point is south/north, then you get 17000 out of the south-pointing, and 4290 out of the south.
This is (in Berlin) 21300.
If however, we put this in the sunniest part of Spain, we get about 28000, which could hit 30000 with optimistic assumptions.

It's a truly terrible design though from most aspects.
If we take 50kWp of solar panels in this design, and simply lay them out flat pointed southish and inclined, we get not 21000 in Berlin, but 48000.

Putting it in the sunniest part of spain gets you 78000.

The numbers for this also work for '7776' solar cells. Conventional solar cells used in panels produce about 6W for the cream of the crop.

Because it can still help with traffic flow.

Today when 4 cars approach an intersection from all directions at about the same time and all want to go straight, the current protocol would be for all to slow to a stop and wait in turn to proceed based on who stops first. But if they communicate, there would be no need to come to a complete stop... the vehicles would speed up and slow down in such a manner that they would avoid collisions.

Here's an example with an intersection of two 12-lane highways. All directions flow with just a slight reduction in speed compared with no intersection.

And, communication at a higher urban level could spread out traffic volume in order to produce the most optimal traffic flows. Increasing traffic flow helps to reduce the time it takes for each vehicle to reach its destination, and can also save quite a bit in fuel costs.

Unless you happen to live in an area whose best home ISP is Google Fiber, the Internet as a network works without Google. But one still needs an alternative to the applications on the other side of the network.

Search: In my experience, Bing search was not nearly as effective. The last time I tried Bing It On, Google beat Bing on 3.5 out of the 5 queries, probably three Google wins, one Bing win, and one draw. So what search engine "works fine" in your opinion?

Video sharing: What site other than YouTube for public sharing of videos works "just fine", especially if they're in categories that Vimeo chooses not to accept? Vimeo's guidelines ban use of video game footage, such as in a review of a game, and are unclear about what makes a production company "independent" or where "showcas[ing] your creative work" ends and "upload[ing] videos with a commercial intent" begins. Or are people instead supposed to lease a virtual private server and learn how to install something like MediaGoblin? In that case, how do you go about getting other sites to federate with you for automated recommendations?

Sponsorship: Without AdSense, how should a small site go about attracting sponsors to pay its hosting bills?

Federated login: When a website offers a choice between "Log in with Facebook" and "Log in with Google", which is less evil and which is more likely to do the right thing?

Mobile operating system: Is Amazon's Fire OS substantially less evil than Android with Google Play?

"My employer owns my work machine and supplies the network it's connected to. I accept that the employer's right to monitor his own equipment and network.

However, that's a FAR cry from accepting internet surveillance. "

Except your employers are behind it... big business (elites and their corporations) fears people waking up. The internet is a threat to all institutions of power (aka the rich and their corporations). The free flow of information is detrimental to their goals and aims (profits and control over us).

"who else would there be to ensure contracts are enforced and not just useless words on paper? without courts, who would determine if people have been injured or mistreated and ensure justice for those people?"

Sorry to tell you but the real world is very much not like what you just stated. When corporations can strip of us of our rights to own shit and have been doing so for roughly 200 years now.

... they fear us, that's why they are trying to lock down everything. They are trying to strip us of our rights and control us, via the payment and information channels we engage each other with because they are at their weakest.

The (mass surveillance) by the NSA/others and abuse by law enforcement is just more part and parcel of state suppression of dissent against corporate interests. They're worried that the more people are going to wake up and corporate centers like the US and canada may be among those who also awaken. See this vid with Zbigniew Brzezinski, former United States National Security Advisor.

They are getting rid of state sovereignty with trade agreements and basically constructing kangaroo courts for the corporate world.

"For all man's accomplishments, we're still largely at a tribal stage where we will instinctively protect the in-group even when it makes no rational sense to do so"

No it's because our mind is bad at reality and we are constantly lied to.

And here's the thing, everyone gets to choose their boundaries with everyone else. Complaining someone's boundaries are wrong or unfair is you saying you do not respect their boundaries. And that's when behaviour starts getting into the creepy zone.

Well, no, not everyone sets boundaries which are reasonable to respect. Some people set boundaries which make simple things like saying "hello" or simply being looked as one passes in the hallway "creepy". These are not respectable boundaries.

If you are merely ignorant and want to find out more about such things, then you may find this an enlightening read:

Interestingly, the place to look for UHD content is YouTube (and recently Vimeo, as well). The flexibility of the 'amateur' video producer and that of the internet as a distribution platform really show in this area.

There is some beautiful and awesome stuff out there:

Given that the high-end smartphones are outputting UHD movies now as well, there is going to be an onslaught of UHD content.

"Fake capitalism"

I don't think you know much about capitalism's real history in the US.

Book - War is a racket

"The following quotations from the book are intended to summarize it:

"I helped make Mexico, especially Tampico, safe for American oil intersts in 1914. I helped make Haiti and Cuba a decent place for the National City Bank boys to collect revenues in. I helped in the raping of half a dozen Central American republics for the benefits of Wall Street. The record of racketeering is long. I helped purify Nicaragua for the international banking house of Brown Brothers in 1909-1912. I brought light to the Dominican Republic for American sugar interests in 1916. In China I helped to see to it that Standard Oil went its way unmolested." [p. 10]

"War is a racket. ...It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives." [p. 23]

"The general public shoulders the bill [for war]. This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones. Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Depression and all its attendant miseries. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations." [p. 24]

General Butler is especially trenchant when he looks at post-war casualties. He writes with great emotion about the thousands of tramautized soldiers, many of who lose their minds and are penned like animals until they die, and he notes that in his time, returning veterans are three times more likely to die prematurely than those who stayed home."

Watched the clip from the film. Several small signs betray the supposed interviewee as a not-very-good actor reading a script. So either that script consists of emails from the actual RipSec guy (in which case that fact should be stated more clearly in the disclaimer at 0:09), or this is a complete fake. Documentary makers - be honest about your little dramatic flourishes, or your whole story becomes suspect. YOU become suspect.
