Relys··on Vegan takeaway orders quadruple over past two years
I bet you $10 they are a forced-birther.

Under His Eye. Blessed be the fruit.

Relys··on Vegan takeaway orders quadruple over past two years
Eh, there's a lot of "dirty keto" diets out there. I think it's more important to eat whole foods (unprocessed) and source most macro nutrients (and healthy fats) from a plant based diet + the occasional fish and chicken.

"The question really comes down to whether or not you consider the opportunity to experience life, even a particularly difficult life, as a blessing."

A life born of slavery, torture, and slaughter is not a life worth living. An animal doesn't really have the idea of a bloodline or legacy (just the primal urge to reproduce). The rationalization that a life of suffering is somehow doing the animal a favor is just asinine.

Relys··on Super Mario 64 has been decompiled
That makes a lot of sense as it's not like they had a lot of 3D engines for the N64 during launch lol. Wonder if Pilot Wings (for example) also shares similar rendering pipeline.
Relys··on People love working remotely
The TV show is pretty recent. Which reminds me I need to catch up on it (only watched the pilot when it aired).
Relys··on Insured price $2,758, cash price $521
Exactly! Nobody seems to realize that we already have a shitty (for-profit) form of socialized health care.

Relys··on Scooters, Segways and Skates: Latest Vehicles That Solve the Last-Mile Problem
I've owned a Boosted Board clone, an M365 scooter and a OneWheel XR. The XR is by far my favorite ride. I would also recommend taking a look at EUCs (electric unicycles) as they have longer range, faster top speed and are easier to carry.

Relys··on Sorry, keto fans, you're probably not in ketosis (2018)
ding ding ding.

There's a lot of industries set up to loose money the more people wake up to learning about modern nutritional science. Regardless of motive people in general love to hear that their bad habits are totally ok so they can rationalize it for themselves and continue their behavior.

John Carmack is a goddamn national treasure.

I literally just attended Natalie Silvanovich's talk at Infiltrate. Very interesting work.
Relys··on Ask HN: I feel sad about my life and job, and do not know what to do
Yeah I was raised similarly (in addition to being a Vegetarian), but let myself slide down the rabbit hole of laziness (desk job) and poor diet (fast food) in my early 20s.

My wife actually learned about it while studying for medical school. It's much more rooted in actually science about how the body actually processes nutrients as opposed to a "woo-woo" fad diet. The goal of Keto is to shift your metabolic process into ketosis so that your liver produces ketone bodies to burn healthy fats as a source of energy once your have depleted your glucose storage.

Basically what researching Ketosis has taught me is that you shouldn't just avoid sugars, white bread, etc. but also limit certain types of fruits, vegetables and whole grains that are high in carbohydrates as they are ultimately converted to glucose and trigger an insulin response. There is some fallacious logic that just because something is a "whole food", "natural" and "not processed" that it is good for you.

Honestly, all you really need to know is that you just have to limit yourself to under 50 net carbs per day to achieve the metabolic state. I highly recommend trying it even if your goal isn't to loose weight as it can lead to better mental performance, reduced risk of heart disease and higher energy levels (as your body burns fat slowly throughout the day as opposed to getting some carbs and then crashing repeatedly).

Relys··on Ask HN: I feel sad about my life and job, and do not know what to do
I know you said "avoid popular diets", but I highly recommend researching the ketosis metabolic process. I lost about 20lbs in 3 months and I have much more mental and physical energy. A lot of other hackers I follow on Twitter have had similar results.
Relys··on U.S. to ground Boeing 737 Max 8
Why was a safety critical system (which was really only needed to place a bandied on retrofitting bigger motors on an older frame design) being sold as an "optional package". You need at least 3 redundant sensors in any safety critical system. This is just basic rocket science. Boeing and the FAA are negligent and should not be trusted.

Isn't that the same stuff that's in Turkey and 5-HTP?
Relys··on Ghidra, NSA's reverse-engineering tool
Pretty much all of the seriously talented reverse engineers I've met started out hacking video games as teenagers. Also, IDK if you remember me from back in the day, but hi! ^.^

Relys··on K-Cup creator John Sylvan regrets inventing Keurig coffee pod system
I have a Gaggia Brera Super Automatic which has a bean hopper and grinds the beans fresh for each shot. All you have to do is turn it on and press a button. Every few days you just add more beans, refill the water reservoir and dump out the grounds collection unit. I paid $400 for it 3 years ago and the only maintenance it requires is running decalcifier through it every few months. If you're a regular coffee drinker, I'd say it's a worthwhile investment.
Relys··on Lime and Bird are growing rapidly
Yes, because in the long term electric vehicles consolidate fossil fuel emissions to a single large point (coal in this case) which can be eventually replaced with a clean energy source (i.e. solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, etc.).

Fellow red teamer here. I've got a proxmark3 and a keysy! :D Unfortunately I don't get to use them much, but they never fail to impress whenever I give a demo.

Relys··on A guide to building a fast electric skateboard at home
Haha, I thought of "mall grabbing" too when I read his post. Electric Longboards are a totally different application. It's like comparing apples to oranges. FYI I come from a background with experience in Snowboarding and Wakeboarding and that's what an eboard feels like except we're not restricted to water/snow anymore. This is great for people like me who have office jobs/family and just want to shred for a few hours after work to chill out. I also had a traditional trick Skateboard when I was younger, but was never very good and was always afraid of hurting myself. When I go to my local park where everyone goes for downhill skating I always laugh at the guys on trick skateboards and penny boards who look like they're going to eat shit at any moment. I often see some nasty bails and think to myself "well that's going to eventually turn into arthritis down the road". Hell, even traditional longboards look scary in comparison to my eboard (which has regenerative breaks). :) I can bomb step hills (and also climb them ;p) without worrying about getting pancaked by a car at the bottom. I can literally go anywhere a bike can go with my eboard. :D I like it better then my bike because I can instantly switch from "bike mode" to "pedestrian mode" and can drag it into a store/restaurant with me as opposed to worrying about locking it up and getting it stolen. I also build/fly drones too, so eboards are a great transportation method to enable that hobby.
