The basic problem is that meritocracy beats every other political system. The reason meritocracy took over is not because it is morally better, but because non-meritocatic societies fell by the wayside under the boot of meritocracy.

Hopefully in the post-scarcity society coming we can come up with a better approach not focused on people’s productivity.

You should read Stephen Guyenet to challenge what you've heard about sugar, both his twitter and his blog. He's a Ph.D. neuroscientist who studies the connection of the brain to fatness for a living.

A recent tweet from him:

Most comprehensive analysis of macronutrients vs. lifespan, fatness, health in mice. High fat + high carb + low protein = highest body fat. High fat + high carb + high protein = highest insulin. High carb + low fat + low protein = longest lifespan.

https://twitter.com/whsource/status/965330116468502529

There is an air of certainty about low carbs permeating our culture right now that is not justified by the evidence at all. The Kitavans today get 70% of their calories from potato and have no diabetes or metabolic syndrome.

Look up Ray Peat for a good argument in favor of sugar. Plenty of people are thriving on high sugar diets.

For my own part, I've consumed 1300 or so calories of sugar a day for 20 years and my biomarkers are 99th percentile. I'm very consistent about resistance training and I don't overeat, both factors likely dwarfing my sugar intake.

Of course, obviously that's an anecdote, but I would caution anyone who automatically judges someone else for their sugar consumption. You might be wrong about sugar and, more importantly, you might be wrong about sugar paired with a particular person's genes or other lifestyle factors.

Because of my high sugar consumption, I eat relatively low fat and protein. What if that's better for you, assuming you don't overeat?

Guyenet is somewhat in favor of the hypothesis that sugar increases fatness, but he thinks it's because humans are susceptible to the "unnatural" increase in food reward that adding extra sugar induces, not because sugar is toxic in and of itself.

An interesting aside for the unfamiliar: Eve Online's server is a monolithic app built in Python 2.7 [0].

Reading again, it does look like the installation is limited in some way if you choose to use public keys and your user doesn't have the privileges (without sudo) necessary for some of Cockpit's commands it tries to run.

Note that when a user is authenticated in this way [public key] the authentication happens without a password, as such the standard cockpit reauthorization mechanisms do not work. The user will only be able to obtain additional privileges if they do not require a password.

Yes, I found as you get older (if you start when you are older at least) it might be a good strategy to bump the weights in lower increments. For example, instead of adding 10lbs to the bar every workout which works well for younger folks add 5lbs instead. This is not a sprint, but a marathon. Slow steady progress is what you want.
Apple's statements to the press about this have repeatedly said [1]:

>Apple has strong data privacy and security protections in place and no backdoors will be created into any of our systems.

iMessage is end-to-end encrypted and has never been blocked in China, while services like WhatsApp are [2]. During the FBI brouhaha, the national security establishment water holders started writing op-eds on blogs like Lawfare suggesting that Apple was being hypocritical in opposing the FBI, alleging that they had already given the jewels away to China [3]. The DoJ basically parroted this in their filings to the court, accusing Apple of this outright (whether or not the op-eds were co-ordinated with the DoJ is unclear). Fortunately, this led to Apple responding to these accusations in their own filings to the court [4], including this declaration from Craig Federighi under threat of perjury [5]:

>5. Apple uses the same security protocols everywhere in the world.

>6. Apple has never made user data, whether stored on the iPhone or in iCloud, more technologically accessible to any country's government. We believe any such access is too dangerous to allow. Apple has also not provided any government with its proprietary iOS source code. While governmental agencies in various countries, including the United States, perform regulatory reviews of new iPhone releases, all that Apple provides in those circumstances is an unmodified iPhone device.

>7. It is my understanding that Apple has never worked with any government agency from any country to create a "backdoor" in any of our products and services.

>I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States of America that the foregoing is true and correct.

Assuming Craig Federighi didn't perjure himself, why has China seemingly made an exception for Apple when it comes to iMessage (or iOS or iCloud)? The answer is that Apple is the only tech company that actually has leverage with the CPC in (indirectly) employing millions of workers in China. People have criticized Apple for taking down the NYT's app or VPN apps in the App Store in China and for not resisting it, but Apple is rightly picking their battles to protect the crown jewels.

This is actually a great heuristic, reminiscent of what's used in video game addon APIs to ensure untrusted code can't run on its own but only when activated. A Soundcloud or Youtube embed can associate a user-initiated play with your account (and add it to your recently-played history), but not a page load; same with a Facebook like, a Pinterest pin, etc. So it's much less impactful on user experience than blocking third-party cookies altogether. If it gains widespread adoption, though, it will have an interesting effect on advertising - will we see a shift back towards ads designed to promote clickthrough rather than just brand impressions? Will the value of embedded ads drop relative to closed-platform ads?

The most important factor in maintaining fitness for life seems to be how long one can maintain the exercise activity. This is a major reason why I am a transportation cyclist. I don't own a car, am too cheap to use ride-sharing frequently, and dislike buses, so I have no choice but to ride almost everywhere.

No excuses are valid. Don't feel like it? Doesn't matter. I don't want to ride most mornings. Cold weather or rain? Too bad, no choice still. Sick? Take a day off for your health.

Several people I have met seem to think riding as often as I do requires superhuman willpower. But I am no more successful at maintaining other exercise in my life. I used to run more regularly, but I haven't had the time for a while. So I understand how difficult maintaining an exercise habit is. That's why I leave nothing to chance.

If you can organize your day such that exercise is unavoidable, do it.

(And it doesn't need to be cycling. Walking to work is good too, though much more time consuming and lower intensity. I also think doing exercise in a group with social costs for skipping out is good, though not as unavoidable as transportation cycling.)
I just finished my second week of my first cycle of 531 Triumvirate + FSL and I'm loving it. In the next week or two I'll probably start tacking on some conditioning(prowler/ropes/kettlebells) after cause I still feel pretty good.
As an example of how simple, as I think people tend to see gc as complicated and scary, a simple tri-color mark and sweep gc in pseudo code:

push_registers_to_stack() // Simplifies dealing with roots - you can now ignore registers
// These are the roots:
// (grey objects are directly referenced from a root, but have not yet been scanned for pointers)
for_each_stack_value { mark_grey }
for_each_bss_variable { mark_grey }
// We then keep iterating over grey objects, scanning the values of those objects for further
// pointers (which we mark grey), and mark "finished" objects black:
while (ob = grey_list.shift) {
for each pointer in ob {
if white: mark_grey(pointer);
mark_black(ob)
}
}
// Now any objects you haven't touched are still white (and unreachable), and thus garbage:
for_each_object {
if white: free
else: mark_white
}

The above is inefficient, but it takes very little space to implement. If you know precise object layout and takes it into account when scanning, it's also precise, if not it's conservative (it may leave garbage if values in memory looks like pointers). Downside is that it is "stop the world", so if your heap is big, it'll cause noticeable pauses.

Simple GC's are easy.... Fast/good/efficient GC's on the other hand...

I would much rather Mozilla be investing money in breaking the global Google monopoly than bothering with some regional peasantry like the carriers. Particularly with initiatives like AMP (and now AMP4Email), we are in a very serious place where one company is dictating the standards by which the Internet works... while simultaneously refusing to make them open standards with governance outside of Google.

Obviously, they're using their Search and Mail monopolies to push those formats, and speaking of search, we've been talking a lot about where our information comes from online and how accurate it is. A better Internet means we need to do better at that, and we need alternatives than a global centralized search engine operated by a corporation with a significant political agenda.

Yes, generalizations can be very off. What is risk and what is return? From a genetic or cultural propagation and growth definition of risk and return, I think it is pretty clear that in 2018 America there are few activities where risking physical destruction (death) can pay off. You might agree that this is an unusual situation(last 50? years) in the history of humanity?
It's quite possible that one of the times I listened to Peterson talking about this subject he cited Viktor Frankl but I didn't recognize the name.

To be generous this sentence could be interpreted as meaning the humanities need to take notice of what science is finding, not the other way around.

This can lead to a fundamentally misconstructed comparison. Cost savings recovered can be estimated but you can't really estimate what customer costs it headed off. If it cost $1M of compliance, but successfully caused banks to avoid behavior that would have cost $100M to customers, that would be great. But, you only get visibility on recovery from violations. So you have at least a three term cost balance, for which only two terms are even visible.

I think the core issue uniting all of these recent concerns about Apple and China (or any other country) is how critical structural incentives and capabilities are when it comes to individual free, privacy, and security, and in turn the fundamental danger of centralization. I've seen a lot of criticism towards companies for "folding" to oppressive regimes or orders, comparisons to people or organizations being party to atrocities in the past, etc., but I think those often miss the point. It is generally unreasonable to expect companies to directly oppose powerful governments. By design they are not in fact governments themselves, mostly for better (though maybe rarely for worse). Conflicting laws and norms between sovereign polities can be directly opposed, and there is rarely a bright line for "worth giving up everything for." In general, I don't think it's that fruitful to expect humans not to be humans.

So it's a lot better if they just plain don't have the power (or at least not total power) in the first place. It's just like in infosec in general: the most secure information is the information that you don't ever have, you cannot be hacked for it or leak it. That's the only surefire way to avoid not merely abuse but even pressure for abuse, and it's here that I think Apple has made a big blunder even vs the rest of the tech industry. Yes the cloud is a big deal nowadays, but Apple's business model is uniquely well suited to supporting full non-cloud distributed usage models in addition as a differentiator from where so many other offerings have gone. It's fine if Apple has their own iCloud and App Store as the core principle source, but if they simply gave individual users and organizations the full and ungated ability to replicate that (in features if not breadth) locally then Apple could simply wash their hands of some of this without hassle (it could even let them get pickier elsewhere since there'd be a separate release valve).

Apple used to be great at this too, back in OS X 10.5/10.6 at least Mac OS X Server had a lot of interesting potential. Easy full mirrors of Software Update, Network Homes and NetBoot/NetInstall were awesome, etc. It's not hard to imagine them having gone further that route, and it's too bad they've kind of half-assed gone the other way despite being weaker at network services then their competitors anyway.

Legislatively from an American perspective this would also be the right way to try to fight back against authoritarian regimes: require American tech companies by law to offer decentralized options for owners of devices, like side-loading. If that's available then it would make the job of authoritarians significantly more challenging.
But for many people "caring that strongly" and "doing something about it" means choosing another option. As opposed to essentially writing a new language.

Good defaults do matter, and I would also echo the feeling that the parentheses get in the way, and that a non-small component of my thinking or polishing process is how to responsibly reduce parentheses. I find that it's generally a modest but palpable boost to visual ease. I do wonder whether there's a better way to denote nested lists?

My point is that those competitors ARE classified as overweight by BMI.

Don't forget that muscle is denser than fat - a flabby 169lb is going to have more body volume than a fit 169lb.

Any muscular sprinting/non-endurance athlete is probably going to be classified as overweight.

Here's something to think about: spindly Usain Bolt is 6'4" and 207lbs - which puts him at just over edge of "overweight" which is 25 BMI.
