“While the low carb, ketogenic diet did not lower total LDL cholesterol, it did result in a shift from small, dense LDL to large, buoyant LDL, which could lower cardiovascular disease risk.”

Low carbs diet also increase HDL.

I have this mentality.

Sure M-F, 9-5, most work gets done, but there are times where nothing is happening at 4PM and there are times that I'm needed Saturday morning.

The future will be defined by roles at big companies rather than hours of attendance.

>all the major crises are followed by radical political transformation

Personally I think the last economic crisis was major, but there was no great political upheaval after it. The bad actors were propped up with bailouts, the advisers that really drive politics remained in power.

Which makes me think the next crisis will be even more major, because we haven't solved any of the underlying problems. This is kind of like with a bug caused by technical debt. We implemented a workaround that will cause much bigger failures than the last one instead of refactoring.

The boundary between air and water makes the simulation much more difficult. While you can neglect the effects of air on the water, not having a well defined boundary for where the water simulation ends means that CFD 101 level techniques aren't enough anymore.
Throttling performance pushes people into replacing their phone just as much as a worn battery. Probably even more so, since a phone shutting down rapidly and randomly is much more symptomatic of a worn battery, and might entice people to replace the battery instead of the entire phone.

A battery getting old is not planned obsolescence. A hard-to-replace battery is. Apple is a pioneer in that area.
Yeah, I remember reading about a startup a couple of years ago that was going to have a quadcopter carry a hydrogen fuel cell and a compressed h2 tank. It wasn't complete BS, but the tank was at something insane like 5000 psi if I remember correctly. So it sounded extremely dangerous to me. Anybody remember what this company was called?
There's already a PSA from "obama" about deepfakes out there, so that'd make for a nice response, although I suppose for some folks a PSA from "trump" would carry more weight.

> Which are the cases where consistency is compromised then? If a client of the log needs consistency, it needs to ensure that it has seen all previous updates to a log before making a new update, which implies a read.

Consistency in a more general sense than just read-modify-write consistency. If you have sequencers active in several epochs at the same time accepting writes, the records may end up being written out of order, and there would be a breakage of the total ordering guarantee.

Why? We subsidize solar and wind because we realize it'd be politically impossible to force internalization of the costs of goal and gas. Why put nuclear at an artificial disadvantage?
"the rise of Trump was and is based mostly on rednecks blaming the loss of their jobs on immigrants"

Please stop calling them "rednecks" and please don't assume that all his supporters were simply anti-immigration. While "redneckism" was a part of their campaign, Trump was elected by college educated, white suburban women too. Personally, the Trump supporters I've talked with are mostly well-off (small business owners), and mostly disconnected from world news. They don't identify as rednecks, and live in a very blue state. The usual justification goes like this "I worked for what I have, I don't think others should get hand outs" and "Politicians are all evil, I like that Trump is 'shaking things up'"

To be clear, I'm not defending Trump supporters but rather advocating for looking at them with a broader view. While my state is one of the most liberal in the nation, 50% of my neighbors identify with GOP messaging.
Curiosity is a great thing.

Sadly, to expect that mainstream corporations embrace it in any way is pretty much a pipe-dream. You can't hire for it, it doesn't appear on the "deliverables" time-line of derpy project managers, and it won't be recognized during the ordeal of annual performance evaluations, EVER.

If corporations really wanted to act on "the business case" for curiosity, they would have to do the one thing corporations suck the most at: let go-- ease off on controlling stuff.

That said, curious people are everywhere in spite of today's typical corporate environments. They just exercise their curiosity in "out-of-band" ways on projects or in the background during interstitial times. There are benefits for the corporate overlords, they just don't recognize it.

I get the feeling, however, that there's going to be a comeuppance for the ever-increasing data-driven performance management BS that seems to be out of control these days. At some point, employees are going to be performance-managed to the point where it is no longer possible to just satisfy your project managers and then have the luxury of exploring stuff on your own. When that happens, motivation will plummet among the most creative and productive workers and they will either rebel or quit.

WikiLeaks docs show Assange bid for Russian visa [in 2010]
Gell-Mann amnesia effect is the same with movies or other information that is packaged for mass consumption or pop culture, getting details wrong might be a simplification for understanding and consumption, or a first impression that might not give the full picture but allows mass consumption of the idea to get closer to the truth.

In movies, if you are in a field portrayed in the movie, you see how much was wrong regarding that field or subject in the popular or surface level understanding of a subject. But then go on to believe the suspended or simulated reality the movie portrays on other fields or subjects that may also be off base but in the general direction.

Communication sometimes has to be a simplification or a surface level knowledge set that is understandable or consumable by all people or the target market, especially people that might not know about a particular subject. So you might read an article or see a part of a movie that is wrong, but the general gist is correct or the view represented might be people's first take on a subject, but the more detail one knows it might skew farther from that initial idea.

Similar to the way hackers are portrayed in movies, hackers do things with machines and software that are amazing in real life, but it is a cartoon version in the movies. Space travel movies are also usually guilty of this. The Martian was lauded for the more scientific and reality based takes on aspects of the movie, but also it was still packaged for consumption to get a point across.

When it comes to news and facts, incorrect details are bad when articles are wrong or get detailed parts incorrect, but many times first impressions are wrong or first takes on subjects are off base slightly, ultimately the truth comes out or is refined to closer to correct. Journalists might not fully understand a subject enough or may be missing parts to fully get all the details correct, eventually through more work though these ideas are corrected. The journey to truth and fact is iterative.

People simplify to get to a point where they can understand something to then find out the truth through more discovery, it is a work in progress, kinda like finding out about our place in the universe, initially people thought Earth was the center of all that is. The pursuit of knowledge and fact is getting a foothold to climb closer to the truth bit by bit, unless the bias is intentionally to mislead or spread disinformation.
Job wise passion can be defined as: mastery + control + status + money (but in relative terms: a really successful guitar instructor is not going to make as much as a Big 4 CEO)

Someone talked about some senior manager he knew that was not passionate at all.

I've met some senior managers that weren't passionate about their jobs too. Problem was, they had money, status and mastery, but they lacked control. Their decisions were just a mirror of what the higher echelons expected, not what they thought the company should be doing.

Another example could be the "enterprise Scrum" which is bashed all the time in here. Why is that?

#Money: are developers well payed? Yes.
#Mastery: Can they develop mastery working this way? Probably not.
#Status: do they have some status inside the org? No
#Control: have they any control left over they jobs? No.

Funny that while I was writing this I was participating in a remote daily meeting. What were the participants doing? They were trying to boss around. Why? Because they lacked status and control. That's why!

This reminds me of employee work reviews in Germany when they leave, that are mandated by law to be positive (not kidding).

The result is that it spawned a new code language for HR people (there are dictionaries) that "translate" the review.

Everybody is polite..

For instance the level of praise in with the various points indicates a scoring.

Here are a few examples:

He showed understanding for his work. -> He did not do anything.

He did all the work with great diligence and interest. ->
Eager, but not very efficient.

He tried to do his job justice.	-> The will was there, more unfortunately not.

He has used his skills.	-> He did what he could. That was not much.

Here is a Google Translated page about it:

Repairability as a goal or standard recognizes that no product is perfect, and that if or when something inside it goes wrong or needs servicing, it should be easy to do so. Batteries are a wear item for example, and should be easy to swap out with spares available freely. They aren't. Screens and glass backs are prone to cracking and shattering - not an issue in a desktop monitor or a TV, or even a laptop, but a bigger issue with a daily use item meant to be carried in your pocket.

I'd be happy to see some kind of legislation put easy access to spare parts as a priority.

Limits placed on capitalism, through regulation, might be an example of letting society (the system) sort itself out.

If limits aren't introduced, the gap between rich and poor becomes too vast. It become futile for those who have little to even try to adjust their situation.

I do believe in capitalism, but left to its own devices, it becomes obscene.

Nuclear plants over their lifetimes pay into trust funds (from their own revenue) to pay for their decommissioning: https://www.desertsun.com/story/news/environment/2017/07/14/...

Until 2013 they also paid into the Nuclear Waste Fund, which currently has $46 billion. Since politicians killed Yucca Mountain and didn't come up with an alternative, a federal court in 2013 said they have to stop collecting fees until they come up with a use for them. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_Waste_Policy_Act#Nucle...

Regarding insurance, I'm in favor of internalizing costs if we take a rational approach to actual damage. Specifically, if something happens and causes radiation levels that occur naturally in cities with normal cancer rates, then don't evacuate the city. If cancer rates are unchanged after an accident, throw out claims that particular cancers were caused by the accident. In general, reexamine the linear no-threshold hypothesis, which is looking increasingly shaky. (However, some GenIV plants look so inherently safe that this might not be worth fighting about.)
When does that distinction end? Writing code for targeting? The code for mixing gas chamber chamicals? At what point do you stand up and accept you are doing evil, and take corrective action?

Sure, working for Boeing or Google doesn't make you evil. But where is the line when you are asked to do something, perhaps trivial, to advance a project that denies humans rights, or life? When do you take your spine and walk?
Materials informatics should help with accelerating improved or novel materials discovery (therefore accelerating Gen IV power plants readiness for deployment) but irradiation damage models are complex and probably non generalisable in a bottom-up approach, that is starting from the underlying physical process, up to microstructures and finally to the properties we wish to improve. We will see.

Yes, I think that sums it up nicely. History is full of big businesses that were invulnerable and could get away with anything, until they weren't and couldn't. History is also full of big businesses whose senior management seemed to be the last people in the world to realise when one situation was slowly but steadily turning into the other, often because they were focussed on short term plans and quarterly reports and somehow failed to see the wood for the trees.

Boss: Look, revenues are way up! Q4 last year was huge! Best. Christmas. Season. Ever.

Consultant: That's true, and congratulations. But be careful, the majority of your recent growth looks like it comes from segments outside your core online store business.

Boss: I know. Isn't that great? Our retail marketplace services are making twice what they brought in just a couple of years ago!

Consultant: That's also true, but it does seem the customer experience of your online store has been adversely affected because the marketplace aspect is confusing them and causing problems with poor quality control and fake products, and that online store still brings in the largest part of your revenues.

Boss: Experience, exshmerience! Look at our quarterly numbers. Our main online store is still growing.

Consultant: Well, yes, the main online store is still growing. However, it's been close to saturation in a lot of markets for a while. Part of that revenue growth is because you've been relying less on undercutting the competition and started pushing prices up. But that leaves you more vulnerable to competition again.

Boss: Well, it looks like our customers love us and they'll keep coming back anyway.

Consultant: Perhaps, but consumer shopping habits often change slowly. Brand loyalty is slow to build, and that goes for your competitors too. But it's built by good customer experiences, and sometimes lost all too quickly after bad ones.

Boss: As I said, experience, exshmerience. Look, revenues are way up! Q4 last year was huge!

Fair enough. I still think he shifted the goalpost a little bit but didn't want to make the impression of not accepting the criticism. It's a fair criticism from the perspective of the OP.

Maybe you and the OP have different conceptions of what news are, though, because I have definitely no problem discerning factual statements from opinions or framing and in my book only the former constitute news. That every news source is biased and in fact every person on earth is biased, that is journalism 101 and has been known and accepted since the first newspaper was published. Likewise, you can learn at every photography course that every picture also tells a story about what's not on it.

I really don't get why people make such a big fuzz about these truisms nowadays and suspect that many of the critics have a hidden political agenda themselves. (Not meant as a statements towards you specifically, just as a general remark, as the description of a tendency.)

Agreed - I loved gnome back in the 1.9 days, though I bounced between that and ratpoison a fair bit. Remember with Ximian was a thing, solidly making Gnome not only better but (to me) an appreciably better desktop? Until Yorba tried to roll out a bunch of things a few years back, I hadn't really seen other similar movement in the Unix desktop space.

For me the biggest issue was always the GTK. Writing GTK code in the 2.x days was like pulling hair and things were pretty fractured. It got to the point that I was doing a lot of dev in QT-land that ultimately resulted in my giving in and KDE-ing for a long while. While I don't have fond memories of NeXT, it's nice to see people bringing back history.

France is one of the leaders in nuclear tech and they got there by partnership between the state-owned power company and governement research. Private nuclear companies benefited from that and they export nuclear reactors to other countries.

Yet they still have a strong regulatory burden, but the difference with the US is that they have a vested interest in not hampering nuclear tech, whereas here nuclear tech is not high on national priorities. I guess it's another case of #followTheMoney :)

"For that matter, how many people even change their own brakes (one of the easiest DIY tasks, IMO)?"

Most poor people, middle class (what's left).

Although rental agreements, and section 8 leases prohibit working on any vechicle on said properties.

The average person should know how to repace at least the front disc brake pads. (Jack, torx, or 12-13 mm socket, c-champ to push fluid back into reservoir, and pads. 2 hour job.)

Yes, a manual clutch is another story, but if you have access to a garage, or lot, it's a weekend job.

Still it's two jacks, socket set, 3/8 torq wrench (most shops don't bother torque), flashlight, jack stands, clutch pack set, with includes plastic clutch alignment tool. It's a long weekend job. It goes quicker if you have a friend who's done one before, or a strong young person who's been under a vechicle at least a few times.

So yes, there are so many of us who just don't have the funds to hire people to do things.

I am one of those people. Hell, I still cut my hair with a vacuume cleaner?

Poor people are in a bind when trying to fix their jalopy because rental housing is so restrictive. (In other parts of the country, I imagine it's not so bad, but in the Bay Area landlords usually have 42 pages of cant's.)

My point is so many Americans just don't have the luxury of having someone else do the work anymore.

In my world, the repairability of a product is of utmost importance.

Then again, I am stumped over anyone spending $1000 for a dumb phone. Giving money to a company who builds their products overseas, and can't figure out what to do with their profits.

I do give them props for security though. I guess if I was important enough, iron clad security would be worth a lot more than a grand?

I will use my three Apple products until they die.

I will then rely on the surplus of perfecly good products discarded by the wealthy, or people whom think things will will always be ok.

Sorry about the rant. There's so many products that are unfeasible, or impossible to fix. It's like the government forgot The Sherman Anti-trust Act? I feel weird about bringing up the Act? Why? Because we are talking about a phone. A dumb phone? It's not so dumb when you can't get schematics on on the electronics in your boiler, or can't get repair codes off your vechicle.

> A 2007 2L Passat

Turns out my SO got her hand on a second hand '06 New Beetle which has a TDI engine with a CO2 production of ~146g/km. The car has 300000km on the clock.

> 600 kg co2

How did you get there? I seem to miss something to make sense of this value.

Over the 12 years the car has been on the road it emitted:

300000 km * 146 g/km => 44 metric tons

The equivalent engine today is the 1.6L BlueMotion and emits ~85g/km. That's 40% less, about 18 tons saved.

But such a churn is quick at first yet soon enough has diminishing returns, as the low hanging fruits get reaped until we reach minimal ICE emissions or even zero emission, then (environmentally) you'll soon want the longest living cars, so this phenomenon should only be temporary.
