The healthiest people in the world include people on high fat diets, people on high carbs and daily smoking, people on lots-o-fish and others. The correct response to "Oh no I fucked my metabolism on a western diet and now I'm fat" is not to follow a 'healthy' diet like the Inuit or the Tokalus, because it doesn't work. The correct response is to know what is broken and to work around that defect. That is why low-carb works for the western fatties like me.
If we didn't break our metabolisms with three generations of mitochondrial damage inherited through our mothers and bulk sucrose and wheat in childhood, the primitive diets might work, but that is not the situation we live in.
It isn't as secure because the entropy gathering and processing all takes place in memory, subject to memory and software attacks of various forms.
The point of putting the entropy extraction, OHT, BIST and CSPRNG behind a fips 140-2 compliant boundary was so that it wasn't subject to those attacks and the random numbers would be delivered directly into the register space of the running application.
You can mix sources all you like, but if you're increasing the attack surface while you do, then you have made things worse.
That email chain is full of paranoid bullshit. I and one other person designed the random number generator hardware behind RdRand. It's not got any back doors. The NSA doesn't have one. I don't have one. It's been through audit by someone else who probably isn't in bed with the NSA: http://www.cryptography.com/public/pdf/Intel_TRNG_Report_20120312.pdf .
We built that RNG in order to stop the platform entropy problem that plagues computer crypto systems and to encourage others to do RNGs correctly. So by refusing to use the one reliable, built-for-security true random source of entropy in a processor and instead scrapping around with interrupt timing and disk head timing while claiming it is more secure is as stupid as it appears to be.
If the phones used an Intel SOC, with the RdRand instruction, this would not have happened, because the phone would have over 100MBytes/s of cryptographically secure random numbers from an on chip TRNG, available to software through a single instruction.
ARMs are limited in ways other than just being slow. When it comes to security, these things matter.
That study contains a bit of truth that you can use to inform your decisions. Namely all the benefits people claim for antioxidants in food are bogus. You piss them out after half an hour and any raise in serum antioxidants is uric acid generated by your body to counter the poisons in the food you ate.
The antioxidants in your blood are regulated by your body and generated by your body. The antioxidants in food are for the benefit of the plant, not you.
So berries are just berries, they are not 'superfood'. This is also known as common sense, but now we know why.
Actually, my email was in the code. It was crypto code. Nothing special, but I go for simple interfaces which is what made the code useful.
I got an email. I emailed back, a lawyer called asking politely if they could use the code, I said yes, I emailed them saying they could. This happened that way 3 times and some other times there wasn't a lawyer, just a couple of emails.
In the end someone wanted to put it in a linux driver, so I GPLed it.
Not making a big deal of things that are not a big deal is a good way to proceed. If I cared deeply about the code, I would have licensed it accordingly.
Cancer followed humans around as they adopted agriculture. It's no coincidence that the earliest documented cases of cancer were from the Egyptians who were also expanding their society by being early adopters of agriculture.
In the China Study data, the strongest univariate association is between wheat consumption and cancer. I don't think the cancer is causing the wheat, but it might be the other way around.
Paleo dieters would not be impressed with my diet.
I'm not getting sucked further into this discussion. I could gather a bunch of links to papers that read, but Hyperlipid's links are more comprehensive than mine and they come with sound interpretation.
the only Argentinian I've discussed this with (I'm British BTW) said he'd never heard of the Falklands or the Malvinas until the miltary government decided to start a war over them. Ditto me in the UK. The populace in neither country knew or cared.

Don't let the science get in the way of dismissing a good bit of work.
What makes you think it is bogus? It works for many people.

This study tells you nothing useful. How much more confounded can you be than with the lifestyle choices that associate with coffee drinking?

and this.. attach boilerplate rodent metabolism warning though
Wheat may be part of the problem. I don't know if the franken-wheat is significant. I've seen no data either way on old wheat vs. franken wheat.
Not if your POMC cells in your ventromedial hypothalamus are messed up.

>I'm not quite sure how slapping a BSD/MIT or GPL statement on your code is a "big deal".
I think I stated the opposite. It wasn't a big deal.

You could call the author and ask permission or do a deal.
That is exactly what several companies did when they wanted to use my code.
You are welcome to the Falklands, but I don't think I get a say in the matter.
I'm with him on the arrow keys thing.

Grains are an easy source of cancer.

They get in the way of eating nutrient dense foods. Some are toxic.
Most vitamins are fat soluble. You want vitamins? Eat fat.
I've watched high-level Speed/Blitz chess.
Speed/Blitz chess is nothing compared to lightning chess. One minute for the entire game, that's where it's at.
That's nothing compared to GigaHz Chess. One billion moves a second. That's where it's at.
I do the high fat thing. YMMV.
I have my local Starbucks trained to put heavy cream in my latte.
