Yes, "Calories In, Calories Out" dictates your weight. If you consume less than your BMR you lose weight, and vice versa. This has been proven time and time again.
But that doesn't make it healthy. If you want to actually be healthy and control your weight you need to consume good calories in reasonable amounts. This is REALLY well established science.
Also HFCS(55) isn't really any worse than sugar, they're almost identically chemically. HFCS55 (the most common form) is 55% fructose and 42% glucose. I think the remainder is galactose. Sugar is about 50/50.
None of the shots McGregor landed seemed to hurt Mayweather, but the success the Irishman experienced was more than many boxing pundits thought he could enjoy. Mayweather stayed composed throughout the fight and gradually turned up the heat beginning in the fourth round
Until you can find a professional analyst who claims McGregor "looked like a joke" we'll just have to agree to disagree.
Maybe it's not as simple as which macronutrient you eat? Maybe it has to do with the fact that people eating 77% (!!!) of their diet from carbs aren't eating whole grans. It's 64oz Thirst Busterz filled with Coca Cola. With that said, I think 30% fat is good amount of fat to have in your diet along with 20% protein and 50% carbs. Seems reasonable from my experience.
The reality is he went 10 rounds with one of the greatest living boxers. No legitimate voice in the professional boxing community is calling him a joke. In fact, it's just the opposite. Every real boxing fan is surprised by how well McGregor was able to do against a real boxer like Mayweather.
That's my impression exactly. Most people on Slashdot have their entire self worth wrapped up in being the "smart guy". Once they get in another room (or slashdot comments) where they might not be the smartest or have the best idea, it really affects their self identity and value. That's my guess, anyway.
Mayweather was just executing his game plan which was not to expend any energy and he did it perfectly. Conor performed surprisingly well. Certainly a far cry from looking like "a joke". That's absurd. He went 10 rounds with Floyd Mayweather. Suggesting otherwise is ludicrous.
Conor won more than one round, as many as 3-4 by some estimates. Conor was also never in danger until the 10th round when he got tired. Everyone knew going in that conditioning would be the big question and Mayweather did exactly what he needed to. This is a FAR cry from making him look like a joke. Mayweather could didn't land anything significant until probably the 7th round.
It's not just Musk, it's anything outside the comfort zone or cutting edge technology. Slashdot is very different than it was when it was new. I think the average age of user on here is much older than it used to be.
I've been visiting slashdot since the late 90s and it's been like that as far back as I can remember. It's kind of the asshole attitude of "if I didn't invent it, it's a stupid idea and it won't work." The question is just what percentage of the slashdot community did it represent.
Honestly it's just long been considered "cool" to trash new things or different ideas. Slashdot and a certain portion of the *nix world (especially the older part) was very insular, cliquish and incrowd-y. And I say that as a full time linux user. I think that's probably true of a lot of communities or groups of people. Outside people and ideas are bad. Again, not agreeing with it.
In view of the recent story about Samsung TVs being bricked by a firmware update
I don't get it. Don't connect your TV to WiFi and ignore all the SmartTV features. Put the TV on the input from your A/V receiver and never touch it again. What's the problem?
Probable cause is a level of reasonable belief, based on facts that can be articulated, that is required to sue a person in civil court or to arrest and prosecute a person in criminal court.
Being in possession of copyrighted media is not illegal, especially as there are a number of perfectly legal ways that media could have been obtained.
Depends on the material. If it's material that you would have obtained via the circumvention of copyright protections (ie DeCSS) that is illegal.
It is the act of unauthorized reproduction or distribution that is copyright infringement
The question is would that be enough evidence to file a civil suit in court. Considering that they've been able to use IP addresses connected to torrents to file lawsuits, I think I'll error on the side of caution.
I'm also a long time Plex user. The great feature of Plex is a central server to store your library and inexpensive players (in my case, Roku) attached to each TV. This allows you to carry your playlists and watched status between devices. My problem with Plex has always been that it's closed source and they're continually making changes to the Plex Pass paid for product. For me this was just a good excuse to cut ties with a product that already didn't really respect my rights. So yesterday I bought a Kodi capable player (NVIDIA Shield) and I'll be testing Kodi with a shared SQL database to share library information. I'm also looking at Emby and UMS to see how they might fit into a solution.
I will really miss the ease of Plex, but I think it's worth the "hassle" in the long run.
I think having a huge collection of files that just happened to have identical filenames to movie files would probably be "probable cause" to search the actual data. I don't think any judge would think it's a little unreasonable to claim you just happen to like to name your personal cat movies the exact same name as actual movies.
Not sure about everyone else but for me what replaced winamp was mpd with ncmpcpp on my desktop and laptop and Google Music on mobile. This let's me access my library either locally with mpd clients or remotely by pushing it all to Google Music and using their player.
I haven't really used winamp since the early to mid 2000s. That's when the iPod hit and then I used Songbird which USED to be able to sync media to your iPod. Then I jumped from that to Google Music around 2011 and mpd for local access at home. If Google decides to "pull a Reader" and discontinue Google Music I'd probably switch to Subsonic (good mobile apps) or Shoutcast or something.
Yet, after a decade and a half, and at a cost of about $12 million annually (around one percent of the state's education budget), Maine has yet to see any measurable increases on statewide standardized test scores.
So what you're saying is we've managed to move children from paper to using laptops, which will actually prepare them for the future as adults, without any negative impact to learning? Sounds like a massive success to me.
Gotcha, so it's just basically a dock for any phone. That makes sense, I can appreciate that. Not that plugging in a cable was really that awful, but it's definitely easier to just drop the phone on a dock and not fiddle with the cable.
I guess I just imagined something more dramatic from hearing people talk about it. But I guess if you've not used a dock it really would get rid of the hassle of cables.
But I have a dock, I just sit my phone on it. I don't even really look, you just get close and slide it in (giggity). Takes a fraction of a second and I only do it once a day. What's the difference?
Can you explain this because I've never understood the excitement some people have over wireless charging. You have to put it on a pad, right? Every night, I take my phone and I place it on the dock next to my bed (at 50-60% battery remaining), because it's also my alarm clock. I wake up and it's at 100%, obviously, and I lift it off of the dock.
In your use case, how does wireless charging help? I'm especially interested because you describe it as "the greatest thing ever" so I feel like I must be missing something.
which even the authors of the studies he cited called his conclusions wrong
I saw that article, too. You should read it. It doesn't draw the conclusion you think it does, nor what the headline would seem to imply:
Schmitt told WIRED that while this isn't his area of expertise, the assumptions made by Damore were unwise. "We should rely on rigorous evidence for making claims in this area. And I believe there is good evidence of both sexism (including sex stereotypes) and real psychological sex differences (some of which may be evolved) to be causes of the gender gaps across occupations," he said.
"people with an XY chromosome are more likely to be good in technical fields than people with XX chromosomes." Couple that with the fact that Google does have diversity hiring quotas, he's heavily inferring that at least some of his female peers don't deserve the job they're in.
Incorrect. If only say, 10% of female engineers are "good", but Google only represents 0.1% of the total amount of female engineers, then it's entirely possible that every female engineer is "good". To assume he is implying some female Google engineers are "bad" is simply an incorrect assumption based on a misunderstanding of statistical distribution.
Later on it was backed by at least 6 experts in the fields of biology and psychology, citing scientifically accepted causes for differences beteeen groups of people.

before the end came in round TEN .
Many had the bout much closer than a near shutout, especially in the earlier rounds.
https://www.si.com/boxing/2017...
For the first few rounds, Conor McGregor, the UFC fighter, looked like a boxer. A competent boxer. Dare we say, even a good boxer. He looked like he might even do what he had been telling us heâ(TM)d do for the last three months: beat Mayweather at his own sport, outbox one of the best boxers of all time. In the first round Mayweather threw five total punches. McGregor charged forward, looking like he wanted to make good on his promise that heâ(TM)d drop Mayweather in the first round. He put his arms behind his back, taunting Mayweather. He threw jabs and landed them. He countered a Mayweather attack with an uppercut, something that very few professional boxers have ever done. The vastly pro-McGregor crowd broke out in an olé chant, thinking their hero was going to do the impossible, again, just like he told them he would.

It's become the "cool thing to do". To shoot down ideas that aren't yours or anything that the Group Think hasn't already predetermined is "ok".

Going 10 rounds with one of the greatest boxers in history, and winning rounds, makes you a "complete joke" ?

It is Samsung, at least they didn't explode.
Are you me? I've never seen someone describe it so well.
Firstly, 'Probable Cause' only applies to criminal cases not civil cases.
Actually ...
Probable cause is a level of reasonable belief, based on facts that can be articulated, that is required to sue a person in civil court or to arrest and prosecute a person in criminal court.

There is also a paid for Pro edition which further enhances the possibilities of sharing content in your connected household.
You have to pay to get something as simple as auto-playing a movie split into multiple files or the web based media player. I'll just go back to Kodi.
