That is one of the reasons I decided to leave the US after I moved there. I found it WAY to hard to live healthy there. Sugar is added to so much stuff in America. Not only that but it is usually added in much larger quantities than I am used to at home.

I also think there is too much exposure to sweet foods in the US. You are offered sweets things so often. It is just part of the culture it seems.

It is 15 years now since I lived in the US and I steel struggle with a sugar addiction from just living one year in the US. I never had any particular desire to eat sweet things before I moved to the US.

While I agree with that sentiment, when over a quarter of US electricity generation is derived from coal, it's still clearly about competing with coal to drive it into the ground. Between the US, Europe, Japan, China and India, there's about $23 trillion in economic activity that depends on coal. Certainly all the generation growth and replacement going forward is contained in that war between renewables and NG.
No, power generation and use are definitely not out of sync today. Generation is very very tightly synchronized to usage and has to be for the grid to work at all without storage. Quite a bit of effort goes into managing generation output in real time to maintain proper voltage and frequency.

The solution is storage, but at current pricing the amount required for a full renewable grid would be obscenely expensive. Luckily battery prices have been dropping quickly for years and continue to do so.

Which leaks a lot of implementation details through the public API, preventing changes without breaking existing clients. Which in practice means that you can't change anything anymore once you have more than a handful of customers. At least if you don't have the market power of a facebook who can say "Adapt your client code or it'll stop working. We don't give a fuck."

Another big issue is that it forces the client to understand a lot about how your application works. While an API can abstract that and conveniently offer various computed properties which output what the client needs.

> ure there are pretty generous payments to most members of society, but there is still some petty crime and different social classes and lack of major mobility.

By most metrics, Denmark has one of the largest degrees of social mobility in the world. The US usually comes out worst or second-worst in the developed world (the UK is gaining on it lately).
I have argued for the same as well, but not many cares.

However I don't believe in minus housing cost, as everything is relative. We should simply have housing cost / wages shown at different distribution level. Median, 60% and 80%, etc.

Although I am glad the world has finally caught up to the housing prices problem. Hong Kong people has been crying about it for decades.
That kind of metric would not be comparable across cities with different costs of life. Dividing by housing cost is a good normalising factor. You could divide your metric by housing cost, maybe.

Climate change is not all about electricity or fossil fuels though.

And the need for more/better agriculture is definitely driven by the growing world population.

As a Flemish speaker, the original tekst seems to be closer to German than (modern) Flemish.

Expressions like "ganz allein" seems more natural to German than "gans alleen" to Flemish.

But our language also evolved a lot, so probably this should be some study of the old language that was spoken here before they emigrated to Poland.

Interesting none the less.

On the other hand "mjer" was translated to "sea", which looks totally wrong from Flemish standpoint: zee=sea, meer=lake. If you say "mjer" to me, it sounds like "meer"(=lake), not "zee"(=sea).

You need to tackle this stuff early on. Here in Norway sweets are banned from pre-school and school in lunch boxes, including for birth days. There are no pre-school or school celebrations involving sweets.

The kids get involved early in learning about healthy food making and we get a cook book about what sort of food one should make for children when they start school.

This is something so serious for people's future and life that I don't think one can focus enough on it.

I had Lasek/PRK 4 years ago with one of the UK's top surgeons. Happy with the results.

In my understanding, Lasek/PRK is the method whereby instead of cutting and lifting a 'flap' to laser beneath it before replacing the flap, the surgeon basically obliterates the surface of the eye, which then heals up over a week.

With Lasik (flap method), you're supposed to be back to normal within hours, which makes it a more popular method. Lasek/PRK had me in bed for a week and virtually blind for the first 3 days while the eyes were healing.

Nonetheless I have 20/20 vision, 4 years later, with no complications. I went from -9 (severely myopic) to perfect vision.

Best decision I ever made and I'm so happy I didn't go with the more popular Lasik option.
Edit: I seem to be in a mood today, sorry for the rash response.

- add ability to subtract shapes.

- add ability to draw 2d shape and rotate it

- add ability to indent whatever shape is (imagine a box, i press something, new outline of smaller rectangle appears on side of a box, i click, new box appears except it lets you subtract from original box. so i can go from 3d cube to empty box. sketch used to do something like that.

You are probably right, and that this is the rational and pragmatic approach, but for sake of argument: Isn't this a rationalization borne from the premise that sugar already is everywhere?

If we were discussing something not yet introduced into our lives, would your conclusions be the same? Like starting now celebrating a birthday with... huffing paint? Smoking a cigarette as a non-smoker?

Sugar, like some drugs, isn't particularly appealing the first time you try it, depending on the delivery method. Or more statistically probable, the first time after a period of absence. We get used to it, and then we "crave" it.
I don't really buy this. A really, really obvious counter-example; Germany. Germany has pretty cheap housing by Western European standards, but also a low birth rate by Western European standards. On the other hand, Ireland has the highest birth rate in the EU, and some of the most unaffordable housing.
I think the UI needs a bit of work, but you can already subtract shapes and also extrude 2D shapes. There is a draw tool in the bottom left menu. There is also a subtract button in the tools, it works by subtracting the selected shapes from the unselected ones.

If one's aim is progressing along the Kardashev scale [1], then the single metric to optimize is the cost, including of externalities, of energy. Rooftop solar seems doesn't seem to scale as efficiently, both in measured and externalized environmental costs (e.g. installer safety and carbon consumption), as utility solar.

Yep, it is so hard to actually START doing something. Sometimes I "prepare" myself for multiple minutes, then get too overwhelmed in my head about it and end up procrastinating.

But once I'm into it it's not that bad. It's crazy how aware I am of this behavior, and yet always fall back in it. I've tried every single advice I could find on the internet, but none of them worked because in the end, the only way for me to do something is to start doing it. It sounds easy, but it is so, so, soooo hard.

And the worst thing is that people sometimes associate it with lazyness. I don't think I am lazy. This honestly feels more like something is broken in my brain, and I don't have much control over it.

I'm not giving up tho, still try to fight it daily. Sometimes I spend a whole day with a foggy head, trying to start do get things done, but I just can't...

I've been mildly curious about this question as well. I appreciate that not all people can or are comfortable wearing contacts. And glasses are a pain for a lot of active pursuits, at least for me.

But I've been wearing contacts for decades and they're still improving. (The type I was wearing for ages stopped being manufactured a couple years back and I switched to new highly permeable lens. What I had been wearing was fine but the new ones were even more comfortable.)

The only downside for me is that I now need reading glasses when I'm wearing contacts--which I don't when I'm not wearing them. May look into multi-focals next time I'm getting checked.

Grid battery storage is a pretty mediocre solution to variability in supply from renewables except in a few cases (e.g. where pumped water storage is readily available). It's expensive and inefficient.

Market driven demand side flexibility is not very well tapped, doesn't require any technological leaps and there's a lot of room for improvement there. For example:

* Aluminum smelting plants that vary their usage depending on spot cost (actually already happening in Germany).

* Smart electric storage heaters that turn on when electricity is cheap.

* Smart electric vehicle chargers that take electricity spot price and current charge levels in to account when deciding when and how much to charge.

* Hell, even bitcoin miners.
no i just made a snarky comment for no reason, even though i do the same thing
I found when I was studying Psychology, that it's very much focused on pragmatics rather than intellectual rigor. i.e. if an explanation helps provide an effective therapeutic model then it's considered "good enough".

I'm not saying it's right. In fact in terms of evaluating the field "as a science" it's wrong. I guess that's why it's a BA not a BSc ... probably also why various other more rigorous subfields such as neuroscience have split off to become their own disciplines.

I think most people who have studied psychology will get this, and critically evaluating all the bullshit around you should be one of the fundamental skills that you learn. Unfortunately though, things are taken far more literally once they get "out into the open".

Maybe I'm just not that well versed in GraphQL, but reading your comment left me confused.

What would the UI data requirements have to be? Aren't they often arbitrary data fetching driven by the user? Aren't the requirements of views what data the user wants to see and handle? Depending on what user chooses, the fetching of data will have to go deeper and deeper into the data store.

I seem to remember, perhaps mistakenly, that GraphQL came as a solution to fetch arbitrary data structures that the view needed instead of having to mix and match multiple RESTful endpoints.
There are so many articles on productivity on the internet that I'm starting to wonder whether there isn't a deeper problem at hand here.

It's kind of the other way round. Insulin is a hormone that is produced as a response to high sugar levels in the blood, but it is the insulin level that determines how much fat is stored, not the blood sugar level.

Someone with insufficiently treated type 1 diabetes can have very low insulin levels, sky-high blood sugar levels, and be losing weight (and seriously unwell).

> competing with coal to drive it into the ground.

Good choice of words, in that what we need to do with both coal and oil is leave it in the ground; which means that the people who've invested in its extraction need to be overcome somehow. Whether that's buying them out, making it uneconomic, or something more coercive.

Yes, I also find it extremely annoying and it’s definitely a thing. I always end up googling the title to find the actual publication and hope that the date is there.

Does anyone know why academic papers do not include dates in the paper? Surely there must be a reason?

Edit: StackExchange [0] cites uncertainty of the delay between writing and publication as the typical reason for omitting the date. This seems fair, but at least including the year would be nice. If you submit for review at the end of the year, probably safe to increment it by one. Even so, presumably there might be later drafts after review, so those should include the date.

Picnic - Amsterdam, Netherlands | ONSITE | VISA sponsorship | https://join.picnic.nl/ Picnic is the world’s fastest growing online supermarket with a simple mission: to make grocery shopping quick, easy and affordable for everyone. Our unique tech-driven approach enables us to work towards a greener and more sustainable future, with our fleet of 100% electric vehicles delivering fresh products from our warehouse to customers daily. Picnic is growing fast. We're a tech-first venture, where you ship code that either gets used by thousands of customers (and growing fast!) or runs our supply chain and is used by our hundreds of warehouse employees, where efficiency is key. Few places offer the chance to impact (good and bad!) so much with the code you make. Extra fun parts: we're a grocery story at the core, with total ownership of the supply chain. That means we have cool things like our own electric delivery trucks that you can drive. We also have warehouses which operate on the code you write, so you can go see how it affects the whole company right on the work floor. We're looking for Java Developers!

Also one still needs to include the impact bad wheather conditions, where Tesla's AP is not to be used either. Then there's the impact of "incompetent" drivers on the statistic. As a toy example, consider a world where competent drivers cause 1 death per 100mm miles. AP causes 2 deaths per 100mm miles. However, 20% of all human drivers are driving while drunk and/or sleepy and cause 10 deaths per 100mm miles. This gives an average of 2.8 deaths per 100mm miles. Clearly, AP has a better average but you should only use it while you're drunk.
