It was on my bookmarks for a long time. I thought it would be nice to share with you guys.

There are so many times I do searches on HN to recall about some nice things I've seen oh the web... Quite often, the comments are the gems!

I've started Tim Ferriss diet on May/2013 and went strictly on it (no supplements, aka, PAGG) up to September/13 when I reached my goal (97->82kg). I did a body check-up (mostly on blood and urine tests) on November/13 and everything was fine. I never came back on milk+bread on breakfast and I got used to go low-fat 6 days a week. I'm not so strict on Tim's diet anymore but I'm still low-fat-oriented. I'm turning 40 this month. So far, this diet worked greatly for me. BTW: I got to know about Tim's book here in HN.

I must recall that the low-carb diet from Tim is focused on food with low glycemic index. The idea is to avoid the conversion of the carbs you eat into fat stored in your body.

I didn't have associated the idea of "printing" to a "human organ" yet. Very interesting. I wonder if, in the future, printing an organ would be easier than making it grow somehow until it gets functional for transplant.

I remember watching "Pirates of the Silicon Valley" some time ago. It was nice to see the battles between Gates and Jobs in the beginning of the PC era. That movie ended even before Apple's re-birth.

Kind of Screwed 15 years ago

I was thinking about this. A 'famous' work nowadays is something that is extensively copied, remixed, rebuilt and virally spread. Many previous century minds think they have to gain something by their re-crafted work being in the spotlight again. They should be satisfied with a citation and happy they were remembered.

I believe today's works are more complacent about this. The artists understand that their work is supposed to pay them one time, that is, they receive their payment as agreed before starting it. If their work suddenly goes far beyond its initial goal, they will get bonuses of fame but rarely direct payments of their work showing up everywhere. Not-artist people usually don't even care.

When it was released 224 days ago (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1870473), I remember this "mimics your brain" idea but it never bothered me. I did not feel invited to compare it to mind-mapping products. I took Workflowy as a nice dynamic lists software. I like it because of that. It really helps. It was made with the principle that Almost everything you create on Google Docs is a list, so they made Workflowy[1].

I also find mind-mapping studies fascinating. Many times I find myself starting to write in the middle of a sheet of paper and then making connections. I know this is not Workflowy. Can you give some good suggestions on mind-mapping software?

Today (1 dat after) the record/play button started to work for me. I guess they decided to make it available in other countries too. I finally could listen to your compositions.

Happy IPv6 Day 15 years ago

Today, big Internet portals are supposed to resolve to AAAA (IPv6) DNS queries in their main site. Thus, if your computer is enabled, it should try to access it using IPv6. It's also a good chance to see if AAAA responses to any machine (IPv6 or not) would cause any trouble in their OS or applications.

It's also some type of marketing to make the crowd aware about it. Many companies may have started on IPv6 because there was a day dedicated to test it.

So much ssh for native IPv6. That could only mean we - few tech people - are more concerned about using it. In the future, with dual stack, I hope people will use IPv6 without knowing it. Maybe someday we will think about IPv4 the way we see IPX today: obsolete, nobody uses it.

Some sites that don't have AAAA DNS today:
