Harry isn't perfect, but sometimes he could do with a few more flaws. I never saw him as an idealization of the author, but it's not an invalid idea.

All of these issues are especially apparent in the early books.

Once again, I recommend The Laundry Files, if you're looking for something a bit darker, and a bit stronger written (it still starts a bit weak, but not to the same degree...).
The point of putting butter in your coffee is to extend your natural faste. The faste that you enter every night during sleep. It is done in tandem with also skipping breakfast on keto.

The reason you put butter in your coffee instead of a spoonful of say, sugar, is that fat takes a long time to digest and even a fairly small amount of it (a table spoon of butter in your coffee) takes a while to digest. During that time period your hunger sensation is suppressed.

Coffee also promotes weight loss because it speeds up your metabolism. The idea behind buttered coffee is fairly simple. Put enough fat in your coffee so that you don't get hungry and eat a meal and you help extend your natural faste - and your morning coffee helps speed up your metabolism.

There are good reasons for drinking buttered coffee even if you're deliberately trying to avoid weight loss i.e you are following a net neutral or net positive caloric intake diet. When you're fasting your body isn't spending energy digesting food which means less of your body's immediately available resources aren't spent digesting food.

Even if you're getting calories from your coffee it doesn't impact your weight loss because you're still eating less calories than your body needs to maintain the weight.
Given the current state of computer security, a government program that fines companies for poor security practices could easily pay for itself.
So keto is all or nothing?

I won't experience any benefit by just increasing fat calories and decreasing carbs?

People are different. Not everybody cares about colors. I tend not to make the effort to move off of white. My wife has painted many rooms. Neither of us is wrong or right, just different.

When we were last looking for houses, I visited a couple of houses for which a beige makeover would have been a legitimate improvement. One house had a living area that was Post-It Note yellow from floor to ceiling, unbroken and undifferentiated. Perhaps it didn't look so bad when it was furnished but even with my diminished concern for color I can't imagine it could ever have looked good to me. Presumably it worked for them, though, since it had clearly been that way for a while (i.e., not a recent makeover just to sell the house).

Something that clearly was a makeover just to sell the house was the kitchen in the house we ultimately ended up buying. Good news... it wasn't beige! Bad news... my wife hated the color. Even I mustered up a signficant dislike for it. Salmon, with fairly light wooden cabinetry. Fortunately, we saw past the color and simply painted it fairly soon after moving in, but it's not hard to imagine that impacts buying decisions. (The house had several other bold color choices. Most of the rest were nice enough. We've since painted over all of them, but perhaps rather it would be more accurate to say we've decorated over them, with decoration themes that were incompatible with the original colors. The only thing in the house that we painted over was the salmon in the kitchen.)

Neither of us watch HGTV but we happened to once catch an episode where some professional designer did exactly the kitchen we ended up with, salmon with light wood cabintry. If it wasn't the episode they got the idea from it might as well have been. Still blech, professional or otherwise.
I for one enjoyed spending 70% of the time reading about how JS sucks. It's good to be reminded now and then. If I'm chopping wood for years with a dull axe, I get really strong, and good at swinging a dull axe, and at performing superhuman feats of adaptation - adjusting myself and my attitude to using a shitty tool. Maybe even, like Stockholm Syndrome, I come to enjoy it.

Do I resent the guy who comes by once a year and reminds me chainsaws exist? No I do not.
This isn't unique to Amazon's couriers. I've had UPS leave a package "at loading dock" in a similar row-style townhome with street access. I still have no idea where that one ended up.

Not sure that I've ever had a package delivered by Amazon, but if I did there weren't any problems. That UPS incident is my only personal shipping issue in years.
> Sure, that's one thing that it was when McCarthy started developing it, but the original Lisp paper doesn't say "only" and you don't know how McCarthy's intentions developed as the language developed.

McCarthy later did not care too much about Lisp development and direction himself, since he was working on core AI topics then.
But the field of AI caused massive investment into Lisp during the 70s and 80s, until it died out in the early 90s. We are talking about something like 2 billion USD.

For example all interstates in the US. I guess a significant proportion of trucks spends more than half their time on interstates. And if the driver can relax there, they are more alert again when driving in the city for the last miles.
The author's assertion still applies though. If you talked to an estate agent, they'd tell you "paint it beige". But you wouldn't have that hammered into your brain unless you talked to an estate agent. Her thesis is that the media added a lot of pressure for everybody to conform to advice that applies mostly to prospective sellers
Why not just repaint it in more market-friendly colors when you decide to sell it?

Exactly. And Amazon doesn't even have to reach all of its customers. They can target high density areas, and use traditional shippers to deliver the rest.
This is unfortunately quite common. Facebook won't even let you use TOTP unless you have a validated phone number to use as a fallback.

You're confusing two things. Before 1971, the US Dollar was worth exactly 1/35th troy ounce of gold. Foreign central banks could redeem their dollars for this amount of gold. The USD gold price did not vary back then. The USD gold price only started floating after 1971, which is just a fancy way to say that the market (surprisingly!) didn't consider a 0% haircut acceptable for a defaulted debt obligation.

Oil being traded primarily in USD doesn't make the USD backed by oil, just as the dollar is no longer backed by gold even though gold is primarily traded in dollars.
I misunderstood what you were uncomfortable with, I thought you were uncomfortable on your friend's behalf that FB was showing his other friends that he liked an article.

But I'd like to better understand where you're coming from, because personally, I wouldn't be bothered by the relationship between the site and FB while I was logged into FB. If FB's algorithm knows I visited a specific site and uses that to improve the relevancy of what is shown to me in my feed, then everyone benefits. Help me understand what's creepy here?
This has been getting progressively worse for me. I suspect it is a known problem at Amazon but I'm confident this is actually an "innovation" of the delivery men. It wouldn't surprise me at all if they are gaming the system by dumping a street or apartment's deliveries all with one resident. They're all so stretched for time that they have to cut corners to meet their targets...

For Amazon they need to find a means of setting humane targets and then finding a way to accurately measure performance of staff...
all this in mind, it takes a lot of thought to imagine a world not reliant on oil

that has so many implications
> There is certainly an enormous inflation of the money supply

Of M0 or 'narrow' money, yes. But the broader money supply was shrinking as loans defaulted. Arguably QE was an attempt to equalise the total (broad) money supply, and price inflation can be expected if QE money is not withdrawn as new loans are made, or rather, as the total amount of debt increases, creating broad money through fractional reserve banking.

As I recall it, beige was the standard PC color -- even for Apple kit -- until well into the 1990s. I remember rows of brand new beige Dells running NT4 one place I worked in 1997.

Colorful iMacs hail from a time when Apple was a computer company. These days, PCs are a secondary concern for them.

My experience is different and was vastly better than Fedex (UPS/USPS I generally don't have issues with). They have consistently come after business hours so I'd be at home fto receive the package. They even called me once to schedule a time to deliver the package.
At least this site has an orange top bar, which is more color than the average house has anywhere.
Amazon doesn't need to compete directly with UPS and Fedex to win. Instead, I'd argue that they need to take over deliveries to easy deliveries (eg, cities) and continue to outsource the harder deliveries.

I'd suggest that this would remove the profit-producing deliveries for UPS/FedEx and leave them with those that they do at a loss.

How do you tell the difference between a router and some device sitting behind the router?
The United States Department of Health and Human Services, whose motto is "Improving the health, safety, and well-being of America", which has a budget of just over 1.1 trillion dollars, and about eighty thousand employees.[1][2]

For comparison, the largest pharmaceutical company in the world is Novartis, with annual revenues of approximately forty-seven billion dollars.[3]

The pharmaceutical industry is one of the most, if not the most heavily regulated industry in the United States. This industry is also affected by various government interventions into research and development, both in funding and restricting options. If you believe there is a problem (and I think there is), it seems difficult to believe that it is due to a lack of government involvement.

I suppose it is possible but you'll get additive blending. It'll look unrealistic, but sometimes that's a feature.
Imagine that you have hacked a bank. You could try to transfer money directly from the hacked customers' accounts into yours (or one you have set up for that purpose), in which case the account that the funds have been diverted to will instantly be passed on to law enforcement, and any attempts to move money out of that account will result in a SWAT team showing up in your location and arresting you. Remember that banking is double-entry: any debit from an account is a credit into another account, with an audit trail of exactly how the money has flowed.

Or, you could take the names, addresses, social security numbers, occupations, and income levels of all the bank's accounts and sell them on the black market. Your customer could then open credit cards in the name of the breached accounts, adjusting the billing address to an insecure mailbox nearby or hiring local kids to rifle through your mail when not home. (Or just steal credit card numbers.) They can then intercept the resulting card, charge a bunch of purchases to it, and ignore the bills. They won't be found out until the target checks their credit report and notices a bunch of cards they never signed up for, possibly a year or more in the future. The target is responsible for clearing up their identity. The credit card company is responsible for the financial losses. The only way to track the criminal is through their string of purchases, and remember that's not the guy who hacked into the bank in the first place (who is probably sitting on a beach in the Cayman Islands), it's the guy who bought the data.

Not a hypothetical scenario. Data breaches of this type have been reported against Mastercard [1], Bank of America [2], JP Morgan Chase [3], and others, and the mailboxes of both of my previous apartment complexes have been physically broken into.

That's not really the point, though. Being in the market for a new house I can say that I really have to fight certain biases to look past a home that has hideous color choices (subjectively speaking). I tend to then find more faults in these houses. Houses that are relatively neutral are much easier for me to envision what I'd do with them differently and so I find myself picturing my family living there. As a seller I would want to maximize more of the latter obviously.

Edit: I should also add that since we will be selling our house we recently painted the rooms that were "our colors" to more neutral ones to make it easier to sell.
I might be wrong, but I thought that 1970s house design was pretty similar to today, except with orange and brown everywhere instead of beige. There are few McMansion features as tacky as popcorn ceilings and dark brown fake vertical floor-to-ceiling wood paneling.
What kinds of car people use is irrelevant as long as the power grid is predominantly powered by fossil fuels. The number to watch is percentage of "green" power generation, which changes far too slowly to respond to market lurches like this.
> What if I drive 5x better and safer than the "average driver"?

Then don't use the system?

You are giving thresholds - 50% to 2x better, 10x better. Before what? Before we ban manual driving? "10x better than the best driver" might make sense. Before we allow it on the road? Why not "better than the worst drivers we allow on the road"?

The most relevant point for Musk is probably "before the marketing works out". The market of people who consider themselves "substantially below average" drivers is much smaller than the market of people who consider themselves "not all that much better than average".

It has to do with our legal system. If you're a defendant, it's extremely hard to sue your plaintiff to recover legal fees, even if you win the suit.

That's why there are so many frivolous lawsuits in the US. If you can make a halfway reasonable claim that you're not being malicious in filing the suit, and your lawyer is working on a contingency basis, you really have no downside, whereas the guy you're suing has a huge downside.

It's about differing incentives.
Instant Cash Club Honest Scam Review
That's the point of the article. (You have to read the whole thing to get to it though.) Instead of decorating our homes the way we want to live, we started decorating it for resale, even if we had no intention of selling. This was caused by the TV telling us, "This is how you decorate your house." But the TV is focusing on flipping the house, not living in it. So now everything is beige, as if all our homes are about to be sold off at any moment, because people don't ask questions when they watch TV. They just do whatever it says to do.

How Mission critical is your project?
This confirms with a lot of my observation, also. For example, the modern interview process has tricked interviewers into believing that (armed with the right set of questions and/or hoops to be jumped through), they can "size up" the candidate. When at very best, all you can "measure" is the intersection of your backgrounds.

And about preparation -- it's not so much that they ask pretentiously hard questions sometimes. It's that their own level of preparation, correctness of execution and general forethought will only very seldom even roughly match what they expect the candidate to deliver. As in, they screw up all the time -- everything from picking the problem to stating the problem to stating true expectations (these are basically almost never stated) -- to simply listening to another person's perspective on it... to just watching the clock and their body language and tact in general. Yet candidates are almost always expected to deliver near-flawlessly.

As to big companies: I've found the solid majority to be quite considerate about others as human beings, generally (abstract questions about their company's impact on society or the environment aside). But as a general rule, the larger the company, the more the "not giving a fuck about this company" measure approaches 1 - uniformly and geometrically.
