Right, and their economy is in free fall. I'm not saying you can't do it, but that cost to doing it is ever-increasing.
Think of it this way: High BP can lead to strokes and general damage to the vascular system, and that in turn can lead to dementia.

It's not that it does, or doesn't exist. It's that the whole common sense notion is literally incoherent.
I believe that more "artisan" work or traditional professions does not have an schedule. Also, if you work for yourself you don't have a schedule neither.

A carpenter, for example, will work in projects and probably doesn't have an specific schedule (I believe this applies globally).

A policeman or a nurse will work in work shifts...

But this I can tell you, practically nobody will have a three hours stop in their typical work day.

In the retail industry it's a bit different and you can find small shops owners that usually close from 14:00 to 17:00) and people working in big companies like "Ikea" or "MediaMarkt" that are being forced to have strange daily workshifts with 4 hours working in the morning and another 4 hours in the afternoon... But they are usually young people that hate that and usually goes to the gym with that extra time...

I've got a 2.5 day a week job as a developer in the south east of the UK, but got it by originally working there full-time and then later applying for flexible working (I have kids so had a legal right to request flexible working, although employers are allowed to turn down such requests on certain grounds). I do suspect that word of mouth would be the only way to get such a job from scratch.

Why should GM invest in new cars as opposed to returning capital to investors who can perhaps allocate it more efficiently? Why should I believe they can do a better job than anyone else?

This is a long-standing debate over who should allocate capital. I don't think there's one exact answer. Clearly some companies, like AOL were terrible at reinvesting money, they tried and tried but wound up blowing tons of cash on worthless companies.

Other companies, like say Facebook were able to make smart investments like buying Instagram.

Clearly investors price stock based on whether the company can make smart investments in its own future, which is why AOL nosedived and Facebook rose. The market isn't always right but I'm not convinced that an alternative would be better
I though that fats cannot be broken down into glucose, but ketones.
People around here tend to look down on "Agile" practices, but having a dedicated time for honest retrospectives on a schedule (rather than when things break) eases situation. If you can get the team together (physically or otherwise) on a regular basis to evaluate how things are going, pride and nerves tend to fall away.

In general, I try to stick to very solid, objective things which could have been done better. If there was a missed opportunity to leverage existing functionality or libraries, mention this. If a decision was made by a developer with negative consequences, identify how that decision was reached. Often, it was due to a lack of collaboration with other developers and/or a set of assumptions which were incorrect.

There are bad developers, but often there are bad processes which allow bad developers to make situations worse. If I were a developer, and every retrospective involved me explaining why my code blew up or project ran late, eventually there'd be an epiphany. Or I'd get frustrated and leave, which may be for the best as well.

Even "good" devs make mistakes. Part of getting good is having made a few mistakes, and either identifying them yourself, or having a caring (senior) dev point them out and guide you. Some folks are capable of course-correcting and improving, and others are not. It could be that they're a lousy coder, but handle support or QA or some other tangential role with ease.

Regardless, you have to deal with the situation, or the whole team will start to lose motivation. This will become a thorn in the side. The more experienced and capable devs will tire of having their work corrupted. Their quality will decline and they'll leave. Morale will take a huge hit over one person on a team. Better to make a decision about a person earlier rather than later.

Nobody regrets letting someone go too quickly. Everybody regrets letting someone go too late.
A clock for transactions. Since this produces verifiable data every minute, you can use that data as to sign any transaction and be able to verify that the transaction did not occur prior to the publication. However you can not verify that the signed data was not modified or even created after the publication of the data. Any thoughts on how this concept can be useful then?
As long as this data was signed by NIST, and we trusted NIST, there should be no need for TLS.
You're missing the point of the low-carb theory. It's not claiming that you should eat above a deficit. It's arguing that a pure energy-deficit view of dieting is wildly impractical. Longitudinal evidence of dieters over 2-20+ year windows will routinely point out that people cannot stick to calorie-deficit diets, cannot estimate calories, etc.

Modern nutritional science is also showing that the way food is digested and metabolized in the body is strongly influenced by a complex hormonal interchange -- and whether organs like the liver or the gut are predominantly responsible for macronutrient metabolism has a significant effect on, for lack of a better word, "effective calorie counts" in foods. The macronutrient composition of what we eat clearly affects our hormonal reaction, which clearly affects feelings of hunger and satiety. To ignore these feedback loops in favor of strict energy-deficit reductionism is a bit like saying that anyone not programming in binary is wasting his or her time.

> we have no idea what really did the magic here, we can just assume

...which is true of most of medicine. Most indications (e.g. diseases) are named after their symptoms rather than causes, and a lot of treatment is just creating / improving the environment in which the body can do its job.

None of which should be taken as denigration of amazing achievements in the medical field!
Infants are also good at working around losing half a brain. If one loses it early enough the rest can develop to become a fully functional adult of normal intelligence, which is pretty amazing.

Ketogenic foods are very energy dense. But once you are in nutritional ketosis, you will naturally have a moderated appetite.

Yesterday, I ate 4 eggs fried in butter (~500 calories), and three cans of sardines (spot across lunch and dinner, ~1000 calories). I also walked about 20,0000 steps, about 10,000 of those was weighted with 30 lbs.
But that wouldn't work for the 'victim chain' of the fork. In this case the idea is that 90% of the miners fork, while 10% remain on the original version.

I don't know if non-miners also check the difficulty or difficulty calculations, but if they do, even the minority chain can't fork without affecting existing users.

In that case everyone would need to fork in which case you're back to square one: what to do with the users that can't or don't want to fork. And if you need to fork anyway, it makes little sense to go with the minority chain.
This is correct. Several private companies built their own mesh networking protocols on top of Bluetooth, and multiple silicon vendors also offered their own mesh technology built into their stacks. If I recall correctly, one company essentially donated their mesh networking protocol to the BT SIG, and this became the basis for the official BT mesh. Within the SIG, there are multiple efforts to bring mesh networking to the standard, through various workgroups.

I think most of this is a response to 802.15.4 meshes, which have been around for a long time, but are officially getting formalized into specifications or product offerings. Thread, Zigbee, Z-Wave are all gaining momentum, and the BT SIG is trying to not lose marketshare to these products.

Interestingly, Thread is the only mesh network of those I mentioned that supports IP, through 6LoWPAN.
Wow, this story is absolutely horrifying! For those of you who didn't click, I really thinks this needs to be known:

>A month ago, six African-American teenagers drowned in a single incident in Louisiana, prompting soul-searching about why so many young black Americans can't swim.

>When 15-year-old DeKendrix Warner accidentally stepped into deeper water while wading in the Red River in Shreveport, he panicked.

>JaTavious Warner, 17, Takeitha Warner, 13, JaMarcus Warner, 14, Litrelle Stewart, 18, Latevin Stewart, 15, and LaDarius Stewart, 17, rushed to help him and each other.

>None of them could swim. All six drowned. DeKendrix was rescued by a passer-by.

>Maude Warner, mother of three of the victims, and the other adults present also couldn't swim.

Then amazingly

>"Fear of drowning or fear of injury was really the major variable," says Prof Carol Irwin, a sociologist from the University of Memphis, who led the study for USA Swimming.

>In focus groups for the study, Prof Irwin said many black parents who could not swim evinced sentiments like: "My children are never going to learn to swim because I'm scared they would drown."
I was tasked to write a restart function for a desktop application. At the time I was straight out of college with no idea what I was doing, so I asked the lead for some direction.

He told me to:
-write out a script that waits 1 second and then runs the application
-run the script in a separate process
-kill the application

I bet that code is still there. It works, but damn is that cringy.

I'm not sure "getting rid of your AIDS" counts as a "lifestyle change"...
Anecdotal I know, but I have plenty of friends who have lost weight on a high-fat, low-carb diet.
I think you're reaching a little here. The parent comment stated that r/politics uses shill comments and down votes as a control measure to align with a narrative.

If that is true, supported by the articles you referenced:

-- r/politics has over 3 million subscribers, with an average of 30 - 40 active users during the daytime.
-- if every one of those users was a "shill" commenter then every single one would have earned $0.30 for their efforts. That's not counting other forms of social media.

I have to admit some skepticism toward the assertion that the entire subreddit is a controlled narrative. Instead, it seems that there will be those who adamantly support the people they're paid to support, and that those users are in the minimum. Instead I think it's just a general consensus what the popular ideals are in there vs. r/t_d. Besides, not sure if you've been around there much but I certainly don't see much love lost for HC.

It's really really tough to achieve or maintain 0 carbs in a day's food intake. This is one of the reasons why you'll not come across many who have done it.

On a keto diet, one can attain < 20g carbs per day with some struggle but to cut it out entirely is really hard without missing some other essential nutrients - because at least some carbs tag along with other things.

My tip: whenever you crave carbs, eat a hard boiled egg. The protein will make the craving stop for a while.
I would too, but that's very difficult to pull off, especially when you factor in things like retail store availability. That's why an entire society switching would be so interesting (and so unrealistic).
What is so annoying about articles like this is that they start out saying 'calorie intake has nothing to do with obesity! lol all you idiots! look at how enlightened I am!' and then go on to say that carbs mess with insulin levels so that it becomes hard to not eat more calories. Duh, that's what all those others say too, but just not highlighting that aspect as much.

In the end, it's still calories. I get it, these people have books and speaking engagements to sell, but please. If they'd just say 'not eating carbs makes it easier to stick to a low calorie diet', it'd be fine. It's the deliberate obtuseness that's so annoying.

I mean, if it's not about calories, please:

- show me someone who can eat 1000 Cals a day and not loose weight.
- show me someone who can eat 5000 Cals of bacon a day and not gain weight.

Until then - meh.

I will say that there's interesting research surfacing that is implicating insulin as the big nasty, not specifically carbs. Which would mean to me that if you consume foods that have a more moderate insulin response coupled with regular physical activity and other hormone balancing behaviors that kind of lifestyle would be okay.

Our addiction to convenience as mediated by oil and refined carbohydrates doesn't ground people in their bodies, causing the acceleration towards extremes (obesity or ascetic diets like keto--which I personally follow).
>But this is not some kind of endless quest. We're dealing with a machine in the end with finite complexity and eventually it will be understood fundamentally.

I'm guessing you don't work in the medical field (I have). First their's the emergent complexity of scale (after all the universe consists of a finite number of a small number of fundamental particles). Second, the human body (and all the pathogens etc) are object code highly optimized over billions of years. We understand almost nothing about how it all works. We can transcribe most of a human's genome but barely understand how even a tiny part of it works.

> I don't think I would be surprised if the most common diseases were eliminated in the next 100 to 200 years.

The most common causes of death have been pretty much eliminated in the wealthy world over the last 50 years. People still die, just of a wider variety of less common reasons. In the limiting case, each person will die of a unique cause.
Two topics I rarely see addressed in the context of nutrition are moderation and taste, both summarized in the notion of savoring.

Full disclaimer: I'm part French. But that's a traditional notion in French culture (and many others): food intake is not just some mechanical action we do before getting on with better things in life; it's an art to itself.

When viewed as an art, moderation is actually a form of balance. We balance quantity with richness and intensity of flavor. I am always amazed at seeing someone who can devour a giant bowl of noodles probably totalling about 1,500 KCal and yet devoid of taste. Mediocre wheat flour topped with sauces made with various commoditized (and bland) ingredients, spiked with sweeteners resulting in an overall bland dish.

Contrast with some real Italian pasta in a small proportion, made with good ingredients and assembled in a way to maximize the taste, as if to assemble a work of art. The nutritional analysis per 100g may be worse than the previous bowl of noodles, but two things stand out: (1) the portion is way smaller and (2) the taste leaves you satisfied. You also consummed that dish slowly, paying attention to the taste and eating it slower than that large bowl.

Now of course everyday life is not made of high-end culinary adventures—most of use can't afford that. But even at a modest scale, one can pay attention to the quality of a simple tomato, a simple loaf of bread, butter from cows grazing fields... eating items slowly so as to appreciate their taste.

Then it's no longer about numbers or labels, it's about taste. Eat your hamburger, but make it with good ingredients and savor it. Eat your fries but slowly and look for the taste of the potato itself. Can't find it? Use better potatoes.

As for soda? Sure, enjoy it but sip a reasonable glass of it like wine, over the course of a meal instead of gulping a large amount with a straw. Of course once you get in the habit of sipping it, you might move on to other beverages that taste better when sipped... :)
Staying off them is hard if you have an abundant source of temptations around you. The hardest part of following the keto diet, for me, was to avoid so many things I love to eat - when they are present around me. If I came across a freshly baked baguette, the temptation to buy it and gobble down the whole thing was immense. Likewise for many other things.

Ultimatley, what kept me on track was the improvements I was seeing in the gym. I did, however, always acknowledge that was fighting the temptation to cheat quite often.

Wear hearing protection?

You don't need to wear hearing protection 24/7, because the world isn't loud 24/7. But if you go to concerts or play music, or work with power tools or construction equipment, hearing protection is a no-brainer. I bring earplugs almost every time I go to a concert, jam session, and when I go to clubs.

The connection with dementia does not surprise me. If you can't hear what people are saying, you won't be able to use those big chunks of your brain for language processing. They say that the first sign of hearing loss is that your wife starts mumbling.

(Yes, gendered language—men tend to be more at risk for hearing loss, and hearing loss starts with higher frequencies, and women speak at a higher pitch. So for many men, they'll start complaining that their wife mumbles a lot, and the real problem is hearing loss.)
