There have been a few small scale trials in the UK where type II people are put on diet of around 600 to 700 calories a day for a couple of months. Indications are for about 40% of those who took part they returned to normal levels - i.e. no longer had diabetes.

Anecdotal but a 50ish year old friend had Type2 and went to stay with relatives on a farm for a few months. He spent 10-12 hours a day helping out and when he came back he'd lost weight and also was no longer diabetic.

The market cap of tokens can be deceiving. But is it inherently broken to suggest that there is fiat to backup each USDT?
Sure, but the private sector has its own equivalent vehicles of waste, such as corporate executives getting paid insane salaries and bonuses even for average performance. You don’t get that in government because salaries are capped.
You keep implying that somehow, sexism is the cause. What if the wages simply fall as more people enter a field? Then, maybe men become more demotivated to work in that field, and seek other, better opportunities? To me, that's the simplest explanation.
When I'm using the app-based version of this kind of system, I find myself much more likely to put an item back on the shelf when I see the price come up in the app (or when I notice how high my total bill is getting).
Being surprised at the total spend after visiting a supermarket used to be quite common for me, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that experience!
Of course Amazon are well aware of this psychology and only send you the bill after you leave the store...

But yes, you can draw a line of history through Peterloo, Croke Park, the Troubles, the Miner's strike, and the wider colonial policing such as the Amritsar massacre. And between the Tory party of those days and the Tory party of today.
German unions always start with big first offers. This is just anchoring. Then they settle for less. Last year they also asked for 5 or 6%, we got 2%. In an industry with more than 10% year-on-year growth for the last 5 years that's paltry, especially because there were no raises during the downturn.

The problem with unions isn't the raises. It's rather that it makes people lazy. You need to hire more people not because there's more to do, but because most people are very comfortable in not getting fired. They just wait for retirement.
> An error doesn't bring down your VM. It gets logged, you can see it, and apply a hot patch and fix it if you need to.

It won't bring down your VM, but it will impact any end-users of your service. Not all errors can be solved by restarting a process or retrying a request (but I recognize the argument that you should aim to catch those types of errors in tests because they are part of the core business logic).

Also just wanted to note that hot-patching has serious costs. Code upgrades/downgrades can be difficult to write and the upgrades themselves also need testing (and this often doesn't get the attention it needs).

35-38 hours pers week is the observed reality in Germany, though. 90+ hours is virtually unheard of here. As is working on a Saturday. In fact 60+ is already seen as inhumane. As soon as you work 50 hours in any given week, the employer will have to pay you much more money. Hence, at my employer I literally am not allowed to work more than 48 hours per week and only Mon-Fri, unless the project is in extremely bad shape. And even then I would have to put in an application and the worker's council might or might not approve it on a case to case basis.

We also have a law in Germany that forces employers to allow employees to reduce their hours. I believe down to 30 hours per week. This entails reduced pay of course, but still a growing number of my colleagues are opting for this or are seriously considering it. And I'm talking about people in their thirties who are in the prime of their career. You can have a very comfortable life working 30 hours on an engineer's pay grade.

> For example, companies that get a monopoly will rip you off, but only by so much.

Sounds like a rare victory of the good over its old nemesis, the perfect. I believe that a social environment that can pull this off will have a clear edge in many different ways, e.g. government can work so much better when it can be trusted that power abuse, if it happens, won't be excessive. Much better than pretend-saints who really aren't.
This doesn't really make sense. They would be paying out the same before taxes, just spread out over more years. What you get as an employee might even be higher because taxes are progressive.

This is of course assuming a European social system where health insurance etc. is taxes, so they're just a percentage of salary, not a fixed cost.
Really interesting, thanks for sharing!
Gene editing will probably have negligible impact on human evolution, unless it ever massively scales, and we're definitely not there. Meanwhile, there will be a big demand for genetic engineering, because that's where medicine is going, and nobody is against medicine.

I've worked with a few designer/developer hybrids, like myself, and this almost always turns out to be the case.

Even when it doesn't, you find yourself doing more of one than the other for a prolonged period of time, and suddenly you find yourself out of date. I used to be handy with Photoshop, and I still am to some extent, but gone are the days when I could build a full site design in a PSD.

The only place I've found where this doesn't turn out to be the case is as a freelance/contract resource. Being able to handle the whole lifecycle yourself is great if you're marketing yourself directly, and assuming you're not taking on huge clients on your own you'll always be switching between your skills.

Most of the people being against the EU are against it because they only ever hear the bad sides? They never realize that most of the bad things "the EU" did were actually things the council did. Which actually just means that the heads of states of all EU nations agreed on it. If you end the EU, all power goes to these negotiations, and you'll only see that bullshit.

In turn, almost all the advances in civil rights that the EU courts and parliament have given us is attributed by the media to the national governments.

Start off with replacing this propaganda, and you'll have broad support for the EU very soon.
Sky-Fox Deal Not in Public Interest, Says Regulator
Setting aside the tu quoque argument, there's a fundamental difference between Youtube/Facebook and Bitcoin:

For Facebook/Instagram/Youtube, the incentive is to lower the power use. Google pays directly for the power used by their servers which host Youtube, so lowering their power usage immediately benefits Google. They also have indirect incentives to lower the power consumption on the client for their video/audio codecs.

For Bitcoin, however, the incentive is to use as much power as possible. If a more efficient miner is manufactured, the incentive is to use more miners. The only ceiling to the amount of power used by Bitcoin miners is when the price paid for the power gets above the expected average block reward.
To be fair, and without denying all the crimes and exploitation made by European countries in their colonies, we don't have to forget that a lot of those places had tribes/clans/countries that were waging wars again each others and the European countries profited of this by allying first with one side to defeat the other. When the colonies were disbanded, the tribes/clans/countries often resumed fights what were interrupted. When a country was really united, it had its chances to oppose an invader : look at Ethiopia who won against Italy in 1895/1896 and would have won again in 1935/1936 if Germany hadn't come to win for them.
So yes, the British and French mostly drew lines based on french/english negociation, sometimes based on the geography, sometimes just for geometrical and area reasons, and that played its part in the later wars once colonies were over, but that is hardly the only reason, and it is not even the main reason I think.
At the moment, in the Middle-East, the fight between people is either for religious reasons (Sunni vs Shia mostly), for clans supremacy and oil (look at the Qatar situation now), or for "I was there first"/"God is on my side" reasons (Israel vs Palestine). The borders created by the colonists played their part, but the mix of population in my opinion is such that those points above would have triggered wars wherever borders had been drawn.
So in the end, I agree with you: one cannot "create" a federal state. It is incredibly difficult with countries in peace and having strong relations (like Europe), and the other successful examples are based on war : the first emperor of China united through war by defeating the warring states (and China, even if an authoritarian state centralized for politics is quite federal regarding other aspects), the US created themselves by invading the native tribes state by state. Had Napoleon succeeded, maybe Europe would have been a federative state, at the cost of many wars and deaths also.

>The main problem with regulation is that it's too easy to capture by various corporate lobbies.

This is like saying "the main problem with laws is..."

In fact, this false dichotomy between "more regulation" and "less regulation" is mainly an artefact of corporate lobby groups (plenty of examples in their propaganda of this).

It dumbs down the issue to a childlike level and lets them play two political blocs who might have fundamentally similar interests off against one another depending upon what particular legislation they want introduced or repealed.

If I'm trying to automate a system to fool their captcha, I'm probably getting a lot of bad results. Or I could just be intentionally feeding them bad data, the fact that not being allowed through captcha keeps letting me make more and more inputs would enable someone to do that as long as they would like to.

I don't know, maybe I'm missing something.
When you print money you devalue existing money, if the holders of the existing money keep holding it, keep trusting it, the devaluation is much smaller.

It’s not really a trick. If you’re an exporting country and you sell a lot to the US, you’re going to end up with a lot of Dollars. Either that or you’re doing something very wrong.

In any case, China hasn’t been significantly manipulating its currency at least for the last decade. Such charges had some validity in the early 2000s, but that’s old news. Since then China has largely diversified its currency holdings and it’s not really an issue, see link below, but there are stil votes in China bashing.

The article below from 2 years ago on this also sheds some useful light. At the time the dollar had recently rapidly appreciated against most other currencies, but the Yuan was at that point fairly strong and then stayed stable rejecting an opportunity to depreciate along with everyone else. In hindsight the articles analysis has proved to be remarkably prescient. The European banks accumulation of Yuan is testament to the increasing credibility of the Yuan, as it predicted.

Tell me about it. I live in the UK and it's a similar story. People rave about Byron burger for some reason, but it's pretty bad in my opinion (soggy onions, mediocre patty) and also costs well over 10 quid. My favorite in the UK is probably GBK, but it's easily 15 quid for burger and chips. I really miss In-N-Out. Epic Burger in Chicago is also really excellent, but hitting $10 territory.

JOYSO: A hybrid-decentralized exchange. Pre-sale is live
The first problem is most places are not pet friendly at all. Then when you find a place that does accept pets, they almost never accept large pets. And even the places that supposedly accept large pets are always going to choose the tenant that does not have a pet, even if you offer more money. In SF, where there are multiple bidders on everything, it's almost impossible to find a place if you have a large dog. As someone who's lived with large dogs his whole life I have always had this problem, but not nearly as bad as it currently is in SF.

I've been so frustrated with this lately I actually tried to think of a way to solve this problem from a business perspective, but haven't come up with anything much better than being a super niche insurance company which would have an incredibly hard time getting buy-in from landlords (who hold all the power already). There's no doubt in my mind pet owners, or would-be pet owners, would be willing to pay more for their loved ones - but how to create a market for that when the landlords hold all the cards is something I haven't figured out yet.
I'm Russian. And while I agree that we have a propaganda, I can't say that the situation is any better in the West.

When I was living in UK for a while, I was amazed by how some really smart people have 100% level of trust to national media, so that they can't even perceive another point of view. All arguments were based on the fact that their media is historically old and never lies because it can't risk its reputation. And all Russian media is propaganda and controlled by Putin. It was 2014 and I can't say how much I was asked what I think about Putin. Honestly I didn't know what to answer because I don't like to talk about politics.

But since that time I know that if you look around the world you will notice the same BS but in different boxing. And people are equally vulnerable to buy it.
