The Proposition 8 campaign was actually successful in re-prohibiting gay marriage in California for about four years before it was overturned, meaning four years of legal limbo for already-married couples and four continued years of second-class-citizen standing for gay couples looking to get married. It also pushed out some incredibly offensive TV ads, claiming the marriage equality movement wanted to use schools to turn children gay and other nonsense. You can understand how someone affected by that proposition, and the decades-long fight before it, might not be so quick to say "oh, you rascals, let's let bygones be bygones;" even if marriage was legalized in the end.

I honestly don't know where I stand on Brave. I hate our current ad-supported world, and it's an interesting alternative to that. On the other hand, I loath Eich and have no interest in supporting him financially after what he has done. Mostly I just stay silent; my feelings aren't strong enough to actually oppose other people using it, but I won't use it myself.

Note that I never said anything about Brave one way or the other. My response was simply that Eich's donation was not simply "free speech," it was a sincere and successful effort to enforce his personal religious views on others, and that it's perfectly fine to oppose that behavior.

"Calorie restriction is proven to help you live a longer life."

Flatly untrue. The article linked to "in proof" is about primate studies that suggest -- perhaps even strongly suggest -- that caloric restriction can slow the process of aging. This does not, however, rise to the level of proof, and certainly does not provide conclusive indication of what caloric restricters can expect more generally. The author is apparently willing to make this grandiose claim to a susceptible audience with nary a word about its limitations, which should set our alarm bells ringing.

If you want to calorically restrict, do it because you've thought long and hard about the consequences of a truly significant choice -- not because it's a tech industry fad.

> Except suppliers can engage in their own fiat prices, as the OP demonstrates.

Those aren't fiat prices by any stretch. Aside from the fact that there is a competitive market of providers, patients don't have the obligation to pay the entire billed price (a key point which this article does not mention). That's neither a monopsony nor a monopoly.

Medicare, on the other hand, is a legal monopsony over its patient population and does set its prices by fiat. (There is no competitive market; patients can opt to receive their Medicare benefits privately, but they cannot opt out of Original Medicare entirely. Similarly, most providers cannot legally opt out of accepting Medicare, in practice).

I have been doing intermittent fasting (IF) on a 16/8 or 18/6 schedule for the last 6 weeks. In combination with keto/LCHF food, keeping my daily caloric intake under 1550, and weight lifting 3x weekly, I've been losing 2.5 lbs/week on average.

IF fits my lifestyle really well, since I only end up eating twice. I feel super energetic and focused while I'm fasted, and the lack of insulin spikes when I do eat have helped too. Besides losing weight, my overall health seems better. Cuts and injuries heal faster, less facial acne (I didn't have a lot to begin with though), and all of my stomach/intestinal issues are gone.

IF works really well for me, and I highly recommend that people try it for themselves for 1-2 months, to see if it works for them too.
>> Really difficult to deal with.

On that I can agree completely. I had a family member going off the deep end, and there was no convincing them that any of the crazy talk (and some of it really was nuts) was unreasonable. Later when they were more normal someone asked "why did you think xxxx" and the answer was "I don't know". It can be really difficult and I'm not sure there is a "right way" to handle it. I still think there are wrong ways though.

>> And I really regret that me and other family members didn't know enough about mental illness at the time.

Define "usable frequencies". You are making pretty ridiculous sounding claims btw. I would rather believe that we can max out cell tower wired connection bandwidth, than completely saturate radio frequencies. Obvious solution, as non-professional, is to use more towers/higher frequencies. Give more information, if you want people to believe you.

> The US already has single payer for a good fraction of the population

No, we don't. Medicare is not single payer, though it has (for a subset of the services covered by Medicare) a default public option; it also has private, partially-public-subsidized pland; Medicaid, at least in many states, is not single-payer, either, even at the state level, even before considering overlap with Medicare and other insurance.

My experiences as an on site contract worker don't always line up with that.

I do get your point in cases where companies are misclassifying actual workers as contract help. I think we just disagree that this is the case here. It seems obvious to me that they are employees of the food service company, and should be.

Fwiw, I have been a low paid factory worker in the past. It's not a matter where I don't empathize.

No single payer in California is blocked by 40 years worth of voter approved laws and constitutional amendments that tie the state's hands in ways that make it impossible for the state to raise the revenue necessary and direct it solely to healthcare.

I'll call it "the lesser of nightmares".

"Calorie restriction is proven to help you live a longer life."

This is essentially false for anyone reading the article. The studies that showed mice living longer lives from calorie restriction were restricted from birth, and thus their growth was stunted, and smaller creatures live longer (think about dogs; big ones die earlier).

Studies of animals where the calories restriction was started mid-life all show increased mortality. The immune system and wound healing are compromised.

That being said, I've been using a system basically like Leangains since March for the purpose of losing weight. It's just cutting calories and I find that two meals a day plus a big plate of vegetables for dinner allows me to fast from Noon to breakfast the next day with minimal hunger.

But this is a calorie deficit/weight loss strategy because I'm overweight, not a lifestyle thing I'm going to keep up forever. And so far I've lost 29 lbs since March, so that's nice.

There are benefits to fasting occasionally I think, but that's not calorie restriction. It's just giving your body a 24 hr period to engage in autophagy and clear out some of the junk; you make up the calories on the other days.
Unfortunately, rent controls and frozen property taxes prevent this sort of thing - changes in living situations reset the ratchet, which means that the terms of trade are going to be extremely unfavorable.

Over the history of Malware I suspect the largest vector was simply machines connected to the internet. Going back to the OS 7/8 days is kind of irrelevant because worldwide computer adoption was so low. So, for the average person what they are going to remember is the unpatched exploits / zero day attacks simply because they affected vastly more people.
Is this sarcasm, or are you suggesting that the same institution which set up these perverse rules has done such a great job that it should be given control over the funding of health care for 99% of the population?
I think the phenomenon is poorly understood and studied, but it's likely not the calorie restriction itself, like you claim.

Apparently it has to do with autophagy (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autophagy), which your body seems to enter when you restrict calories. IF apparently stimulates your body to perform autophagy due to the fact that you're timing your meals.

TBH, I still need to do my own research to see how much of this is real vs. pseudoscience, but I've noticed an improvement to my health. Whether that's placebo effect or not, remains to be seen.
I have heard this was a problem for Top Gear. They'd include a music clip like The A Team jingle in a clip because the BBC would have a licence to broadcast that.

I agree, and this can be applied to every single diet fab that's been talked/tweeted/click-baited about in the past 10 years.

I do IF, but that's because if I try to eat anything within 3 or 4 hours of waking up I feel nauseous and sleepy. I also find it easier to manage caloric intake by limiting my "feeding window" to 8 or 10 hours. There are also some fringe benefits such as refining my ability to self-deny indulgences and be more thoughtful around food choices. Simply put, if I tell my self "no food after 8pm" I won't binge eat two pints of icecream before bed.

The only diet that matters is that one you can stick to.

Yes, I'm proposing that the high level of complexity and ambiguity involved (which originates from the intersection of the technology, organizations, politics, finances and people) in the US healthcare and health insurance system is the root cause of the problem. It is another giant machine, like the military industrial complex, for example.

I don't want to go so far as to say all huge institutions have problems like this, but I am thinking along those lines.

Some have proposed simplifying health insurance greatly by running a "single payor" system, where the emphasis is on a single health insurance entity that covers claims for every person in the US. While that might seem like a simplification in terms of process, procedure and organizations, it is very unlikely to happen in the US, and I'm not sure we could even administer that well either.

If you look at other countries that are closer to single payor, maybe say, the British NHS system - even in those countries, private insurance still exists and competes. The NHS does provide care for everyone and eliminates some issues by having a stricter control system, but the quality, availability and timeliness of that care is often called into question.

In the end, being able to dictate quality, access, and affordability (and preventing fraud) comes down to control vs. morals/ethics. Many are vying for control, for many different reasons and this often tears apart the basic industry, while morals/ethics are difficult to maintain.

I've started work on an evolved markdown version called text with instructions (.texti) [1]. Anyways, what's broken in markdown? The image links are ugly e.g. ![](fail.gif). Why not {{pic.gif}}? Almost everybody incl. Wikipedia markup is using = for headings e.g. =Heading 1=. Why not also in Markdown? Another good reason is that # is the "universal" comment marker in the unix world. If you mix and match yaml front matter / back matter (meta data) with comments - why not use the same comments? Did you know - there are no comments in markdown. And so on and so on. It's time to fix (evolve) markdown. Cheers.

"It's just giving your body a 24 hr period to engage in autophagy and clear out some of the junk; you make up the calories on the other days."

Very true. People don't realize that calories don't "reset' after the day ends. Net calorie gain/loss is best measure on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. If you stay under target for 3 days then binge two full pizzas, you aren't actually going to lose anything.
> 2/3 of prostate cancer occurs in men over 65. That's the results of being on Medicare, the largest single payer health care system in the world.

First: no, the England branch of the NHS is still larger than Original Medicare (~53 million in England compared to 46 million on Original Medicare).

And that might be a reasonable way to interpret the data, except that two-fifths of Medicare patients (and growing) are not on Original Medicare - they use Medicare Advantage, which is privately run. Coincidentally, Medicare Advantage outperforms Original Medicare on medical outcomes across the board, including cancer treatment.

So no, the fact that the US is drastically better at keeping prostate cancer patients alive cannot be explained by the claim that Original Medicare is so phenomenally better that it accounts for the difference.
