Maybe, but if we continue to build over what we don’t destroy outright, maybe not. Farmer’s fields used to be wild land, along with highways, cities, suburbs, clear cut forests, mines, office parks, etc. Those same birds also have to cope with dwindling insect populations, toxic runoff, pollution, loss of biodiversity, along with habitat loss. It’s sort of like saying that gulls should be able to thrive without trailing fishing boats or stealing our sandwiches, but of course that ignores how overfishing has crushed their food sources.
I like to create. To have an idea and make it into something - is often an exercise of my talents in addition to creativity. It also gives me purpose and direction in the face of a long bout of unemployment, which helps keep me sane.

I'm building a MTG card sorting machine, an emoji dashboard, writing a childrens book, and learning piano, in addition to various little one-off projects like arts & crafts. Some things are quick to bang out, others take many months or years. It's like designing a garden - it's good to have a bunch of things flowering at different times.

When I was a pup, I would tinker to see how things worked, or to fix them, or to make them better.

“Final” rejections are poorly named. All they really indicate is that you will probably have to submit a request for continued examination—-and pay a hefty fee—-to continue. Ironically, a lengthy and contentious application process can make the patent more difficult to challenge later, in a more sophisticated setting, because the presumption that the patent is valid is the strongest with prior art that the examiner “considered.” (IAALBNYL)

My point is actually that the poster I was responding to does not believe it is impossible to restore a cryogenic patient. If that person did believe it is impossible then they would be ambivalent about guessing which person was restored to life (the cryogenic patient or the mummified Emperor from antiquity).

You're correct that thought experiment I posed cannot offer analytic insight - it doesn't tell us anything about the mechanism for restoring life to frozen people or allow us to update our beliefs as to the likelihood of this being possible. The thought experiment does offer an introspective insight into beliefs that you already hold though - specifically that you believe there is a non-zero possibility of cryogenic enabled resurrection occurring.

Let's work through the thought experiment with my answer (M) and the answer of an imaginary interlocutor (I).

Experiment: In 100 years someone long dead is restored to life. Is this person a mummy or a cryogenics patient?

I: Could be either with equal probability. I believe that both are impossible and therefore I'm ambivalent about the choice.

M: I'd guess the cryogenic patient. While I think the odds of both are low, the odds of the cryogenic patient are better in my estimation. Because I believe that the odds of the cryogenics patient are greater than the odds of the mummy, I logically cannot believe that both are zero.

In other words, if you aren't ambivalent about the choice, you cannot logically hold the belief that both are impossible. If you are ambivalent, then you are free to think that both are impossible. Because I suspect you have an intuitive reluctance to claim ambivalence, I doubt you really think that the odds of cryogenic resurrection are zero.
But doesn't this same principle apply to everything you eat? Too much vitamin A, too much sugar, too many preservatives, too much caffeine, etc... Some things are detrimental to the body, and are not food, some things are food, but are only detrimental at large quantities. (what isn't?)

But, your argument seems like a evasion of the truth, salt is actually food. (unless you want to argue that salt is not food, then your argument would not really apply in the same way)

If you are going to claim "too much salt" = "salt is bad", "because science", then don't you have to argue how bad water is as well (in the same manner), because the renal system also gets rid of excess water too...

Hear hear. Also I'd bet that a given quantity of salt sprinked on french fries raises the blood pressure more than the same amount dissolved in a glass of water accompanying unsalted fries. Wonder if anyone has tested this (or similar)?
I've eaten one meal a day for years. I don't do it because I'm on a diet though. I do it because I like to eat big meals. A big dinner is much more enjoyable than a tiny breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I don't get hungry at all.

People apparently think this is strange but I'm equally baffled by the assumed need to eat three times a day. Like, you'll be okay, lol.
So many confident comments in this thread. Why not make yourselves aware of the many big studies which all point in the same direction instead of just regurgitating what little pop science you are aware of?
I’m perplexed by the use of “honest” and “greedy” as the opposites...
That's exactly how it works. But regulation is there for years or decades. Sometimes "types" might be something too generic to be valid for so long. You will invariably end up with things that shouldn't be allowed but (arguably) are. That can be really bad. Or things that should be allowed but aren't. That shouldn't be that bad since you can get an exception.
In this case the regulation probably says: You are not allowed to put any type of thing on a sidewalk that doesn't belong to you unless explicitly permitted by the owner.

The only reason we're discussing it is because the title is clickbait. Might as well have been: Person breaking rules is stopped.

AFAIK, butter is still worse then no butter (and more calories from whole plant foods instead).

Margarine may or may not be worse than butter (I think it is worse). It is better to avoid/reduce all refined fats (oils), except maybe for a high DHA omega 3 supplement.

If you want to eat for health, look into WFPB, they have a lot of science on their side.
We don't know what's been lost because they were kept secret. The patent, being a publicly accessible description of what was accomplished and how, increases the understanding by anyone who reads it.

Let's take Google's PageRank as an example.

Until PageRank, search engines tried to decipher the content of a page to decide the value of that page in a relevant search. PageRank took the value of page links as THE defining metric of quality and the result was a much better search engine.

Had Google kept this a trade secret, we'd still be guessing at how they accomplished the goal. Knowing what they did, and how they did it, means that the knowledge is available to everyone.

For a non-search related project we are doing, I directed on of our team members to read the PageRank algorithm, as it is somewhat informative of a potential solution to one of our problems.

Google patenting PageRank has meant that we get the value of knowing their process, but are unable to use it to compete with them.
Less work for kidneys? Any side effects before excess salt is dumped? Like with anything too much of a good thing could be bad.

It’s not that different today the vast majority of actors today are not rich or even well paid.
A list actors are and that hasn’t changed at all.

Historically “traveling” actors were often looked down on not that differently than say street performers or your Hollywood “acting waitresses” that gets a few gigs a year as an extra.

However the historical equivalent of A list actors would be acting groups like https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Chamberlain%27s_Men or
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Strange%27s_Men.

And even in the 16th century many famous actors became very wealthy take the likes of Edward Alleyn and William Knell for example.

During the heat wave in France this summer, messages to old persons were to drink regularly (which sometimes they forget)

So a quarter of medical consultations related to elders and heat was for a lack of salt [0]. From Google translate it’s call hyponatremia.

So as stated in other comments, moderation, may be, lack, bad idea.

I’m actually in Ireland. They seem to have taken the salt part very seriously, as everything need to be resalted (for me and my family).
But everything is over sugared.

I guess just eating what you like and enjoy your life is the only sensible advice you can get.

Don't exaggerate with anything: sugar, salt, alcohol, have them in moderation, like exercise and you'll be fine.

Also a must: stop reading nutrition science.
It seems you either missed the point of my comment or disagree with me on the fundamental level (to which degree an individual owns himself in a society). Society has absolutely no right to you working a certain amount in my opinion. The healthcare argument I also see very often, which I see quite differently. It begs the question "Why should you pay your neighbor's healthcare?". Instead of adding all these layers of socialization and externalities to address the unfairness inherent in the socialization, why not skip both? Hence why private health insurance is an effective form of measuring that externality in non socialized medicinal systems, and asking whether you are a smoker or non-smoker is the first question in the sign up process, drastically affecting your rates.

This is getting off topic, and say what you will about America's atrocious healthcare system, but the fact that it is not fully socialized is NOT the problem. Real problems: artificial non-market based demand created by partial socialization (medicare and medicaid buying programs) raising prices for the non-socialized group, oppressive FDA (costs 1 billion usd on average to push a drug through), oppressive occupational licensing (very high barrier to entry to becoming a doctor), imbalanced IP system (especially for chemical/drug patents), and plenty more. Eliminating these problems would go a long way to making America the world's best healthcare system (it already is in some regards -- do some research on where all the prime ministers of social medicine countries go for their important surgeries since their systems haven't incorporated the American medical tech yet).

There are still issues to consider with emergency care (where there is typically not market-based selection of your healthcare) but I think government incentives aiding a market based system (similar to the incentives created by Singapore, arguably the best current system) would create a system so superior to any other country's medical system, that it wouldn't be such a central political issue.

I stopped eating potato chips by switching to salty pretzels. I don’t feel an urge to overeat pretzels, they’re low in fat, and still give me the salt-crunch I’m looking for. I also find vegan/vegetarian cooking a lot easy to accept if it’s properly seasoned. When you take something out of a food, people tend to replace it with something else because (surprise!) they like appealing food. Take out fat, add in sugar, and that’s no good. Take out salt, add in fat and potassium, the fat isn’t great, and the K will screw over people with bad kidneys,

Be wary of “that one bad thing” which is then summarily replaced.

Yeah, moderation, diversity too, read that processed foods having a narrow spectrum of molecules may lead to poor gut flora (or excessive selection of some families)

Correct. There is no simple answer.
It's true that the Kardashians are in high demand. It does not necessarily follow that we as a society should allow them as a consequence to accumulate disproportionate wealth and influence. The incentive argument in particular falls apart here. Do we really need to pay the Kardashians a boatload of money to incentivize them to do whatever it is that they do? Or would it be OK if we taxed the shit out of them and took the risk that they would quit as a result? That seems like a no-brainer to me (in every possible sense).

Yes, and for the same reason we can have such a thing as "undefined" (that means more than merely 'not specified') in informal mathematics -- because both English and informal math are informal. But we are talking about formal languages[2], which do not have such a thing.

It's not an exaggeration to say that "virtually none of the climate-change deniers have a clue about the underlying science". I mean, next time you have a conversation with one, ask them to discuss, in broad terms, the Earth's heat budget. Ask them to describe the roles played by CO2 and H20, and to explain how they're different. In my experience, mostly people are just spewing bullshit that they've heard. They're driven by ideology and religion, not data and sound models.
Now whenever I see a result like this I have to wonder who paid for the study?

And more importantly, who paid to have the other x studies buried that found a different result?

The article isn’t that biased either way. And it looks like many commenters haven’t read the article.

My understanding from reading the article is the lower threshold is higher than we think. There are still negative effects at what we consider high levels of salt intake.

They also mention same team who did this study published a previous study that met a lot a criticism and they apparently failed to address the criticisms.

So you should probably moderate your salt intake still.
How about between butter and sugar? Which is worse?
Why specifically wouldnt you be happy he/she was consulting on the side?

Many would dispute this if you're alluding to it being heavy in saturated fat which there's heavy dispute over.

> Margarine may or may not be worse than butter (I think it is worse).

Doesn't seem consistent with your logic of less refined is better.

> If you want to eat for health, look into WFPB, they have a lot of science on their side.

So basically veganism. Pretty much a non-starter for most people.
