Paleo diets happen to be high protein and low carb. Protein is the most satiating macronutrient and carbs are the least. This type of diet is effective because macronutrient ratio it makes it easier to have a calorie deficit and not be hungry.

Not a scientific benchmark, but I have a linode that has 8 cores before and after that just finished its upgrade. Previously it was consistently using just under 5/8 CPUs and is now using a ~2/8 CPUs with the same in/out traffic.

Focus point of the large camera should be the exact center of the image. The center of the ball is a little out of focus as the center of the image is the top left of the ball. User Error :)

Google has hired the developer of SynthCam, which is IMO the most interesting computational bokeh app. Combine that with the ability of the mems system and a fast image sensor to capture images at every focus point and estimate depth based on what is in focus in each image. You can then pick what you want blurry and what you want in focus and even how blurry you want the blurry parts to be. I hope they can make this all seamless in the nexus 5.

iphone battery size isn't much compared to android phones, but they are constantly on top of the web browsing battery life tests in spite of this. disappointing that the 5s was a small step backward here.

Thanks for your feedback.

I realize this won't ever work perfectly for every type of dish. But the dishes I have tried using the given ratios have all come out much better then my previous unaided versions of the same dish.

The ingredient database I am working with definitely needs an overhaul. The original focus of this db was matching ingredients broadly, and that is now becoming a major problem.

I think the ingredient database you are looking for is http://www.ingredientpairings.com/. This brings forward more of the broad matching ingredient problems though. When I redo the ingredient database this should be more useful.

The server is under more load than I expected. I wish I could fix this is the near term, but if you try again later it should be much faster.

Your comment to my response is too deep for me to reply, so I will reply again here.

Thanks for submitting the reconsideration request. I just added Disallow: /iframe.html?q= as suggested.

Hi Matt,

Thanks for responding.

The point of the site is to find items of a particular price that qualify for free shipping on Amazon.com. If you want I will give you access to my google analytics to show you that this is a site people want and use.

I guess I should not let people link to the search results page?

http://www.filleritem.com/index.html?q=hacker+news and http://www.filleritem.com/index.html?q=anything+that+is+not+... returns the same thing as if you did a search for $0. I will fix the bug so it returns an error. These are pages that no one has ever linked to as far as I know.

I included an image of my adwords account. The ad had been running for years(albeit infrequently due to very low budget), and I had not touched it since creating it.

I checked after this all happened, and there were several warnings from adwords, but nothing from webmaster tools. I simply ignored the adwords warnings as I was not actively using the account and figured they were just disabling ads. If I had know these were the consequences, I would have just deleted my adwords account.
