padwanon Coronary heart disease is a chronic inflammatory condition

"Cholesterol levels" is a blunt term to use, there are HDL, LDL (with different particle sizes) etc. Correlation != causation

"The total body of evidence suggests that attention should be shifted from the harmful effects of dietary SAFA per se, to the prevention of the accumulation of SAFA in body lipids. This shift would emphasise the importance of reducing dietary CHO, especially CHO with a high glycaemic index, rather than reducing dietary SAFA"

"A meta-analysis of prospective epidemiologic studies showed that there is no significant evidence for concluding that dietary saturated fat is associated with an increased risk of CHD or CVD"

padwanon Xkcd: Encryptic

That's not salt.

"Since DES only encrypts in blocks of 64 bits (8 bytes) then encrypting and keeping the length of blocks means that you actually get a very good idea of the length of the password - that is, anything with only one block is a password length between 1 and 8 characters, with two blocks between 9 and 16 characters etc. In addition a password of "1234567812345678" would encrypt into two identical blocks."

padwanon Show HN: Weekend project, Intro.js

Something like that yes :)

Maybe step 1-3 is on "start.html" and step 4-6 is on "anotherpage.html". So when the user clicks next from step 3, he should be redirected to anotherpage.html and the intro continues.
