I think you are missing the point. I don't read this article as an argument AGAINST going to the gym, rather as a comment on the fact that if you want a healthy population, it is not gym membership which is the primary solution.

For me going to the gym is primarily about being healthy, and the does affect your happiness. Being unhealthy is bad for your own quality of life.

I have not been particularly good at going to the gym however, the last years. I remember finding it easier to get into in while living in a society which made natural exercise happen more regularly. E.g. when I lived in the Netherlands I biked about 1 hour of day, because that is often the made mode of transport and it is easy and convenient to do.

That has a positive re-enforcing circle. You feel better, which makes it easier to get to the gym as well. When your health goes down, going to the gym becomes mentally harder to do. It may be more expedient but doing almost anything benefits from feeling good and positive.

There would need to be some sort of emulation later in place at some point, because traps into the kernel would need to be intercepted by the application and this just isn’t possible (at least, to my knowledge) in any application that just straight up runs unmodified native binaries. So it really doesn’t matter whether the author emulates x86 or ARM because there’ll be a performance hit either way.
This is why remote work is going to become increasing necessarily, and why bosses/managers/CEOs need to give up the whole 'everyone in the same building between 9-5' idea once and for all.

Software engineers, marketers and other folks with similar service jobs do not need to be in the same building as the rest of their team.

That'd fix a few issues right away:

1. It'd fix Silicon Valley's housing prices, since tech workers wouldn't be buying all the houses/apartments. This would remove a pool of people making hundreds of thousands a year from the equation, and ideally causing prices to drop down to an affordable value.

2. It'd mean the actual workers who need to live their work (teachers, nurses, retail staff, etc) would likely be able to afford more, since they wouldn't be competing with software engineers for the same properties).

3. It'd give people an incentive to move to smaller towns/cities/not end up crammed into a single area. Does that mean sprawl? Not necessarily, it could mean other large towns and cities in the UK and US could benefit from a higher population rather than the likes of London/New York/San Francisco sucking up new residents by the million.

4. And in future, maybe it could kill off the idea of immigration/emigration too, at least for the most part. The fact you have to live in a wealthy country to get a high paying job is one of the things that makes stuff like the H1B scheme so lucrative.

The idea employees have to be watched over in the same building like prisoners or school students is one of the reasons these house prices are so high and everything is becoming so centralised.
Shredding isn’t sufficient protection, unless the shreds are truly tiny.

Some explosive or easily burning material beneath the seal could thwart attempts at using heat to remove the seal without breaking it. You could also use the technology of a match box to put the letter on fire if opened in the wrong way, or use small glass containers that wrap around folds like paper clips do, and, when broken, release a chemical that destroys the letter (killing the culprit trying to read it without knowing how to open the letter also would be an option). Another option is a device that cannot be opened in an oxygen-rich atmosphere.

The challenge, of course, would be to seal such a letter, and to safely transport it (big seals already can be a challenge there, as they can easily break)

H1B visas are a hot topic here, and always lead to heated voting.

I will just point out one thing:

1. How many immigrants come (total number per year)

2. How they are selected (merit or family)

3. Where they come from (the wisdom of country caps)

Are three separate issues that need not be conflated. People tend to give a mixed solution based on their personal experience.

I quit tobacco and moved to vaping, and it still took me about six months to totally quit. Once I did, my body decided to punish me.

It started with crazy canker sores all over my tongue and a few pimples. The timelines I read were fairly accurate (e.g. tastebuds coming back, etc), but the biggest struggle was breaking the pattern.

Vaping just wasn't the same from the ritual side, but I'm glad I quit tobacco itself. Unlike many, I have no plans to quit nicotine. For me it takes the edge off -- and I think a lot of people with depression and anxiety are in the same boat.

People who haven't quit smoking will never understand what its like to quit smoking -- but the same goes for any addiction.

I don't really have much comment to make on most of these but
"18/ In Britain for example, it's now pretty clear that ICE vehicle sales growth peaked in 2016. The total UK market is declining for a second year in row, down 8.9% this year through October. But EV are going the opposite way, and will reach above 6% market share this year."
I'm not sure that the ICE sales drops are down to EV sales. At the very least they seem to be over egging the pudding.

I'm having a hard time trying to work out some of the authors points (this is basically a list of tweets), but I'd find it interesting to hear about the supply demand interplay when oil use starts dropping.
Ie oil use falls leading to lower prices leading to static usage at lower prices? Or lower investment, lower supply, increasing prices, and a rapid death spiral.
Maybe it’s just the catalogs that offer that? I remember from childhood my mom ordering my dad shirts from Lands End using those measurements.

What Happens When a Founder Is Fully Vested?
I commented earlier in this thread, but I think one of the toughest aspects of quitting smoking is breaking the ritual.

I had so many friends who smoked, and our independent desires to quit were definitely not in sync. I don't doubt that this was one of the major factors in me drawing out my quitting process.
>"fraud product" - Do you mean the product that has been FDA approved for 6 years? Is the FDA "in" on the fraud?

No, but something can be both FDA approved and fraud, e.g. snake oil. It just can't be particularly dangerous.

My hope is for more diversity and experimentation in rethinking the browser paradigm.

An example that comes to mind is Beaker Browser (https://beakerbrowser.com/), that simplifies exploring and publishing on a peer-to-peer web.

Another example, that I just came across today, is Polarized (https://getpolarized.io/). It seems to embed (or integrate with) a web browser as a feature in a larger personal knowledge base system.
It says something about the incentive structures affecting politicians. I'd be willing to pay crazy high money for a shiny bauble that I'd get to brag about to all my friends and coworkers, too, if I didn't have to use my own money to pay for it.
Pointing out people in blue zones are consistently active even if they don't run marathons or go to the gym is a very weak argument against marathons and exercise. Instead of the tortured analogy the author could have tried looking at data directly related to the topic:

Lol Nice try and your calculus is 100% right for this benchmark under the assumption that only the zen ipc will increase (and new rumors say it could be higher).

7nm will allow higher frequencies too which should make the difference. If Intel still lead in single thread it would probably be negligible.
> reflections on the problem that every endpoint is `application/json` and not something more specific to the intended use case.

This is a feature, not a bug. If a JSON decoder can interpret the format, then it is by definition `application/json`. The alternative is to go back to miriads of incompatible data exchange formats, and each dev writing his own buggy parser, or installing yet another dependency to his application.
without knowing anything about the book, i believe it is possible based on many videos by dr. gregor of NutritionFacts.org. Many nutritional changes, such as eating berries and other antioxidants and cutting saturated fat and cholesterol, and adding whole grains and beans have measurable improvements om the hourly and day scale increasing serotonin and decreasing anxiety. Add a few forms of exercise, fasting and supplements and your mind can be very clear and powerful.
I have nothing to do with the slide-deck but the statements

> The OP has a problem: The algorithms don't give any significant, meaningful results.

and

> The OP is too eager to work with a Gaussian assumption.

demonstrate strong mischaracterization and were supremely superficial. If I may be a little blunt, given your specialization and comment history I have come to expect better.

Compared to real estate of the slide deck that was spent on non-parametric methods Gaussian was just a passing mention. This slide-deck is supposed to be a resource to get acquainted with the topic -- not a technical publication. Of course there are no proofs but there's a list of references at the end which I presume do have the proofs. Although I have not personally verified each of them from the description of the techniques in the slides its not that hard to imagine how one can give performance guarantees in a non-parametric setting to many of them -- for example the nearest neighbor based methods are bog standard in this respect.
>In the end it's up to personal preference, and you're certainly welcome to prefer a house. But don't assume that everyone has the same preference as you.

Why is it absurd? The green card application queue is several million along the only way for it to be shorter would be to just let them all in.

You're almost right in the way you describe the market, all you have to do is replace "weird people who bought ..." with "people who will buy the next generation of Apple hardware no matter what who bought ...". They might grumble about missing ports, bad keyboards, a buggy operating system and a multitude of dongles which they need to keep around but, and this is the essential part, they still buy the next iteration of the product line as long as it has that party-eaten apple on it. In this sense Apple has achieved something quite remarkable in that they seem to have been able to reverse the common diction of "it is hard to gain trust, easy to lose it" into "it is easy to gain trust, hard to lose it". For that, I applaud them but I also vote with my wallet by not buying their products.
Exercise is very important. I wouldn't recommend looking at it as something that is optional. It's funny you mention willpower, as there is a book called "The Willpower Instinct" and the author claims that willpower is indeed finite and exercise is one of the best things that can lead to a greater amount of willpower over time. So exercise may be a short term willpower cost but if this author is correct, exercise would lead to a net gain in willpower over the long term.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle is easier when moving is built into your daily activities. You might go to the gym and run marathons in your 20s and 30s but it's nearly impossible to keep up with that routine for 30-40 years.

The title of the article makes it sound like walking is better than gyming and is misleading, just like most Quartz articles these days. Sigh, I live in a world where Quartz is becoming Buzzfeed, and Buzzfeed is becoming Quartz.

To the second point, maybe, but I would think it's similar to nerds/geeks and a lot of scifi or fantasy books/movies/tv. A lot of any given story might work just as well in Victorian or Edwardian England, but throw a spaceship or a wizard in there and we'll watch it.

As for the statins... Doc said we had to treat my high cholesterol and triglycerides.

My triglycerides 300+ -> 115. It turns out that lovastatin was identified as one of the key molecules in the ancient Chinese remedy.

So that's my one data point, and the only one relevant to me regarding statins.

Soon we'll see the beginnings of the death cycle for ICE vehicles. Lower sales means fewer:

Gas Stations

Car Dealers

Advertisements

Repair Shops

Which in turn limits the appeal (or increase costs) of an ICE vehicle.

Governments worldwide need to rush to figure out how to pay for roads when there is no gas tax revenue. We will need a system that tracks where and when cars are used, like the London congestion charge but on a much bigger scale.
