Someone who is highly active can consume a lot more fructose-containing sugar than someone who is sedentary, and in fact fructose-containing sugar is more efficient at restoring liver glycogen than straight glucose. The problem comes when the liver's glycogen stores are full, and primary pathway for disposing of that fructose is via de-novo lipogenesis.

Like anything, the problem is consumption to excess. Unfortunately, excess in this case (for the typical sedentary person) is quite a small amount.

How a Cryptic Message, ‘Interested in Data?,’Led to the Panama Papers
> However, the "shift" that I do see happening, that this article underplays, is the cooperation of dozens of news organizations to independently and securely investigate a big data/document dump, something made possible by today's technology and cloud hosting systems, and agreeing to an embargo date. This "distributed investigation" paradigm is very new in journalism, and I hope to see a lot more of it.

I find it horrifying that all major journalistic outlets are colluding about what they will and won't report, and when. It shouldn't even be possible that they're all that chummy and editorially identical. Realistically, they're all just small parts of the same hedge funds, but it still bothers me.
If you're a victim of identity fraud, you're supposed to be able to freeze the accounts for free.

It's not free in all states:

>The cost to place and lift a freeze, and how long the freeze lasts, depend on state law: In many states, identity theft victims can place a freeze for free, but in others, victims must pay a fee, which is usually about $10.

Big Beverage fruit juice may have added sugar. Regardless, fruit juice (which is fruity sugar water with no fiber), is terrible for us.

Fruit was given to us in a high-fiber package, and should be consumed that way. The fiber also ensure we don't over consume. You might be full after 1 apple, which is like 1/8th a glass of apple juice.

So eating real fruit, you'll get less sugar, and the fiber helps with digestion and getting the other nutrients that are in fruit.

I am not sure why you just quoted stats for average lawyer salaries immediately after I just said the average lawyer is not what the OP is referring to.

Lawyers does not automatically mean "partner" in the US, hence why I said "in this context". The OP is saying the majority of the 1% of income earners are things like doctors and lawyers. Not that "lawyers in general" are 1%ers.
Great selling point, except when you happen to live within earshot of a racetrack. Which is literally a radius of miles, easily enough to house half a million when you put the track in a densely populated area (which is increasingly rare, but still exists).
Robert Atkins published Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution (possibly the ancestor of all the modern low-carb diets) in 1972 and credited a 1958 article in The Journal of the American Medical Association by Alfred W. Pennington. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atkins_diet So I don't think one lone researcher figured this out in 1972.

I'm admittedly ignorant on this topic.

Have there been studies detailing the efficacy on these methods to obtain information that lead to the saving of lives?

E.g. if X people were subjected to waterboarding, what % of X revealed information that lead to derailing terrorist plots? And then we'd need a control group as well that wasn't subjected.

Edit - downvoted for what, trying to quantify this topic and weigh the pros and cons? Christ.
Sorry for the mixup of terminology. While I will agree it's not an infographic it's a representation of the ideas being explained in the context of that portion of the film. It's not a "cartoon" by any means and it does represent, at a very high level, the distinct notion of the original content of the thread. Money yields power and power yields legislation that yields money.

My point is that I found it interesting Chomsky has succinctly been defining these problems for quite some time.
Strictly speaking, he wasn't comparing people who "opposed" waterboarding to birthers or truthers; but rather "interrogation deniers", or in his own words:

individuals who hold that the enhanced interrogation techniques used against CIA detainees have never yielded useful intelligence.

Still, the juxtaposition of operative viewpoints is... fascinating, to say the least.

On the whole it sounds like waterboarding has been added to the list of things the CIA continually swears it would "never do" -- like, you know, assassinating foreign leaders; getting into bed with torturers, death squads, drug runners and mafiosi of various stripes; spying on not just on American citizens, but on rival branches of the U.S. government itself -- but of course has kept on doing, and doing, and doing anyway, since its very inception.

Indeed, everyone is different, and should consult a doctor before starting a diet.

Keto is a very tough diet.

However, scientifically speaking, keto will help pretty much anyone lose weight, it really works at the core level that our bodies work... In terms of how and why we burn body fat.

It's certainly not for everyone, and you have to keep a really close eye on your macros, nutrients, vitamins, minerals...

Why does this line of investigation happen with British leaders but not in the US? Australia has also recently had a lot of media coverage of misuse of government benefits by political leaders. I feel that US media is awash with coverage on the presidential race, immigration, wars etc, but the integrity of politicians in congress isn't explored as deeply.
Indeed. Just that somethings are easier to eat in access than others.
I think it feels irrational because these high protein, low carb diets are really meant up be weight loss diets, not the diet of an active human with healthy fat and muscle levels. In that case, whole grains and vegetables, fruits and the like along with the supplemental meats and nuts are normal. If you're genetically disposed, throw in some whole fat, no sugar added dairy.

I think all this confusion arises because what is good to eat is different between an obese person who works a desk job, a bodybuilder, a skinny 5-miles a day runner, and everyone else. People advocate one diet without considering how it'll interact with someone's standing fat and muscle levels, cardiovascular health, and insulin sensitivity.
Same here. It has zero appeal for motorsport fans. Maybe there is some new audience for this in the future, but right now it's probably more about technology demonstration.

I mean, they asked for my login information to search my Facebook. I declined, but they still ran through all the public information and connections I had.

Guitar and mandolin player (well, and a bit of fiddle from time to time, played poorly) here. That same mentality exists elsewhere in the wooden instrument world, more so with mandolins than guitars.

Though you didn't ask me, what are my thoughts? The burden of proof is upon the ones making the claim. Prove it instead of causing endless debate on the internet. No one has, of course, just like no one has proven that a $1500 ethernet cable makes your sound system sound better. IMO, there are a lot of things that can ruin an instrument. Dry environment (causes cracks in the wood). General neglect, fiddling with bolts you shouldn't be fiddling with. But being played by a novice is not one of the things that can ruin a wooden instrument. It's all smoke and unprovable subjective opinions.

Let me put it another way: the best mandolin I own sounds better when an expert player plays than when I do. Not just the skill of the playing of the piece (the expert and I can play a scale at a slow tempo for this demonstration), the actual sound of the instrument. Did the mandolin suddenly transform its sound because it knew a good player was holding it? No, of course not. What we have demonstrated, however, that an instrument doesn't have just a sound. Lots of things contribute to the sound, including who is playing it.
How expensive is it? I mean literally. A lot of these alternative diets seem to work but be far more expensive than eating crap, unless all you eat are veggies (which few like).

> That only really works in a world where all of the users on the machine that can run Python also can write to shared library directories.

Far from it. It's up to the system package manager to generate the .pyc files for the globally installed version of the libraries. __pycache__ directories allow this to be done cleanly for any installed interpreter that supports them. It has all the information it needs, and users need not get involved.

Unless the user is running a copy of Python that wasn't installed by the package manager, there should be no need for them to cause the .pyc files to be generated. Besides, .pyc files are an optimisation so that parsing and bytecode compilation doesn't have to repeatedly happen, and aren't even strictly required: the result is slower startup, but it couldn't prevent the code from being run.

> it doesn't provide a method for running multiple versions of libraries between different apps

Indeed, and I pointed that out in my comment in the addendum. Virtual environments are still pretty much the state of the art in that regard, unfortunately. It's possible that some PYTHONPATH magic might help with that to some degree, but that would be messy.
The good thing about broccoli is it contains nutrients that the body can use, for example, to enhance its ability to manage sugar levels.

> As you’ll recall from page two of your Building a Multithreaded Kernel textbook, when a high priority thread waits on a lock, it’s supposed to gift its priority to the lock holder to ensure progress is made. We (I) never quite got around to implementing that, and for several years it seemed we just might get away with it. The history of rthreads is pretty much maybe tomorrow, maybe not.

It sounds like OpenBSD has gotten away without having priority inheritance for most (all?) of it's history.
I found (2) really fascinating. I read a story recently about a study where they paired two people, gave them the exact same diet for a few weeks, and used continuous glucose monitoring to determine their glucose curves. It was striking that different people could have extremely different reactions to eating the exact same thing.

They speculate that it may be due to differences in gut bacteria, but still aren't sure why people react differently to the same food.

> With the Citizens United decision, that's no longer possible without either a Constitutional Amendment or the Supreme Court overturning their own decision - neither one is very likely.

Citizens United has implications for campaign finance, but the demise of publicly financed campaigns that GP is referring to began before that.

In fact, it began with Obama's first election (2008), in which McCain agreed to take public financing. Obama, on the other hand, broke his earlier promise to take public funds, becoming the first candidate in history to do so[0][1]. Because accepting public financing means limiting total spending, Obama vastly outspent McCain by November. Obama won the popular vote, spending $10.94/vote, whereas McCain spent only half as much total money (amounting to $5.97/vote in the end.)[2]

Might be better to just curb the craving for sweetness. Study after study shows no effect of diet sodas vs regular sodas.

While artificial sweeteners have a low glycemic index/load, they stimulate the release of related hormones like insulin and GLP-1. And insulin, if you recall, signals fat cells to suck up the energy and grow.

So if you drink a diet soda, it might have no calories itself, but it's more likely to convince your body to turn more of your lunch into fat than otherwise.
It's going too far to say "has no value". It may be true that its value is not immediately obvious, though.

In my opinion, Lisp is more attractive than any other language because of its Condition System -- though macros rightfully get more attention -- what it lacks is libraries.
