Type 2 diabetes can be reversed through diet. The evidence comes from medical practitioners and scientists, not from quacks making outlandish claims (although they exist too).

Some links:

The Diabetes Code by Jason Fung: This is a best-selling book by a Canadian Nephrologist (care and treatment of kidney disease) that explains type 2 diabetes in detail and recommends diabetics switch to a low-carb diet.

Counterweight Plus low-calorie diet plan: This diet was run as part of a scientific trial and showed promising results for obese patients with type 2 diabetes. Nearly half of the 300 patients in the trial reversed their diabetes. Note: the diet was run under the supervision of medical professionals and is not suitable for everyone:

The Truth about Carbs: this is a BBC documentary from earlier this year which is unfortunately no longer available to watch on the BBC website. It featured NHS doctors who ran a two-week low-carb diet plan with type 2 diabetic patients. All patients reported improvements to their health, but the most impressive result was a patient with type 2 diabetes for 17 years who was now in part-remission.

Here is a thorough write-up of the programme:

Seriously. I've been on stimulants for ADHD for almost 25 years. The price I've paid is a few root canals due to dry mouth and I'm on beta blockers for a mild, benign arrhythmia I developed this spring.

Beats the living hell out of my alternative: on the streets, in jail, or 6 feet under because ADHD is hell. It's a price I'd pay every time without hesitation. It's a price I think EVERYBODY would prefer I pay cuz like yo, I ain't safe to drive unmedicated, this a public safety thing.

I have been paying attention, I've known that story for well over twenty years, and I fear I might have to listen to rehashes of the same damn old story at least every couple of years for the rest of my life, thank you very much.
What's irking me is that the older the story gets the more irrational and extreme the ongoing deification.
I say if the UX and tooling where that godlike as some are wont to make out, you can easily have that without the need for an actual lisp machine, just port the damn software. I maintain that 90% of those who irrationally praise that old system this much did never even work a single hour with one of them, so where are they getting their delusions from? How would they know it's not just as inefficient and frustrating at times as any other system? They don't, but they just can't keep from creaming all over any forum where the LISP machine is mentioned at all. Darn I need my morning coffee, I'm cranky.

That is a huge point. I was in a total depression when I was with my wife. It was the most painful thing I've ever done to break up with her, but in the end (hindsight is 20/20), it was lifesaving for both of us.

Cosmology Is in Crisis Over How to Measure the Universe
Neither party has done anything significant to counter climate change in the 30 years since James Hansen's testimony before the U.S Senate. Look at the numbers. Whether this is because of limits to what can or can't be done just further proves my point. Neither party is going to do any better than the other.
Thank you for that, interesting like branching before and after git (and all), if something is easy and effortless you do it more.
I think it is the type of people in your circles. Social elite, east coast, etc is where I hear that sentiment.

I grew up poor. The only one-upsmanship I recall was in story telling or joking.

Now as a well off adult, my social circle is much smaller, and since I just moved, it is about zero, but I've not seen this competition from my cohorts at work.
I've worked with both materials, although not in acoustics; I don't think they'll ever sound alike. CF sounds "light" compared to bamboo, when thin, and dull when thick.

Personally I think it is awful, it really puts the person on the spot and under pressure to come up with something interesting. It will basically lead to dead air while they think. Open ended questions are great but the answer should be in a second. That question is designed to for the person to subconsciously think the person asking is expecting something.
"He also noted the unexpected finding of longer lifespans among the exposed male rats. “This may be explained by an observed decrease in chronic kidney problems that are often the cause of death in older rats,” said Wyde."

Why do you think they wouldn't? What an odd default assumption – that a country wouldn't enforce its laws.

Keep in mind that official enforcement isn't the only concern. Illegality can make people feel justified in taking matters into their own hands, and there have been anti-homosexual mobs and attacks in countries that recently criminalized homosexuality.
Ita the same in the US, except for windfall gains over $250K/person (x2 for married couples), a vanishingly small fraction of inventory.
That is called a standard. You want it to settle down.
What I actually care most about a file manager is how they perform on mounts with low IOPS and how gracefully they handle time outs and other exceptions.

RAM is cheap and any file manager will be snappy on an SSD. But edge cases are where most file managers fall apart yet are situations where you might need to depend on your tools the most.

However now I understand the point of this project was purely to optimise against memory usage, I can better understand the arguments you were making.

> or doesn't that count as contribution?

Not in this case, no. You published it, so you’re still ultimately accountable for it.

You cannot request figures then play the “nothing to do with me guv’” card when someone queries the benchmarks that you subsequently published. At best it comes across as an unlikely story; at worst you’re still complicit.
Ironically, if the U.S. had national healthcare system for which the government had to pay directly, it may not have been basically the only country on Earth to reject climate change.

Countries that have to pay for healthcare have a strong incentive to keep its population healthy to reduce healthcare costs. The U.S. doesn't because it doesn't pay for it directly - it's the citizens themselves that have to pay for it.

Ultimately, the U.S. economy is still negatively impacted by an unhealthy population/workers, but since it's not a direct impact for which the government has to pay out of its tax funds, it doesn't care nearly as much about that impact.
This is a fantastic idea. Ignore the negativity, particularly from the "what about the men" comments.

Super cool!

That's something millennials & later won't understand: 2000 was a mental barrier we couldn't really think past. Objectively, people may have addressed the next millennium's dates, but we just couldn't deeply believe we'd be living in what was always colloquially called "the future".
In order to have people cure something though diet, you have to convince them that they can control their own fate. The powers that be don't want that, they'd rather scare people with talk of insulin shortages.

When Cameroonian president does it, it sounds awful and worth reporting, however when US President spends $1-3 million for his Maro Lago visits almost every weekend - nobody seems to care. A similar headline can be written regarding the US president - "While his country grapples with gun violence, opioid crisis, homelessness, US president spends $1-3 million on weekend visits to his Maro Lago resort."

A professional teacher is different, particularly at the primary/elementary level. Of the teachers I know and have worked with (I also have a few in my family), they do it because they enjoy teaching and would not choose to do anything else.

Business coaching is something you do after running a business.

Teaching at a secondary you will often find people who previously worked in industry. My high school chemistry teacher for example previously worked as an industrial chemist which put his level of expertise way above what was required.

And at the tertiary you will get a mix of academics and tutors, who are either actively researching or working in their field.

Which is why mentoring groups with other business owners can be a lot more beneficial than a coach.
The LMI software could have been ported to a 68020+custom MMU instead of the K-Machine but wasn't. I suspect that they didn't have enough staff with experience of low-level coding to be able to see different options, they seem to have been reluctant to do much to extend the microcode (equivalent to assembler) to support things like new ethernet cards, later drivers just worked by read memory word/write memory word function calls from Lisp.

Lots of the features of the software only work because everything is in the same address space, working out how to do similar things across multiple address spaces for a modern operating system is much harder.

I have talked with RG on Skype but not about historical stuff.
Im sorry, I just don't trust the people who got us into the Iraq war to tell us anything about foreign policy from three war monger countries being funded by US imperialism.

Iraq, libya, afghanistan, vietnam, laos, cambodia, korea, all based on lies which corporate media sold to us. That's only the tip of the iceberg too.

I am skeptical, and so should everyone else. If we aren't skeptical, we'll be going "why the heck did we do this?" in 8 years.

>This is a country that regularly reaffirms its Fatwa calling for the murder of Salman Rushdie. In 2016 they even increased the bounty for his murder.

Saudi Arabia just killed a journalist with no reprocussions, is bombing the absolute shit out of Yemen (civilians!) using US weapons and intelligence. Democracy Now! had an episode this week about Israeli, US, & Saudi targeted assassination programs.

It's easy to see that the corporate media is selling this potential war. How do you trust it?

In my opinion, the rest of the world should be stopping US, Israel, and Saudi from continuing their global terrorism programs and ending imperialism.
Just ask it politely, softly, with a smile and a genuine interest. Only Ron Swanson-esque people who see an order/demand in a friendly request would get offended. And if someone gets offended and thinks this is arrogant/belittling by such a polite request as this, then it's a bad sign that they aren't going to be able to handle conversations with me where I encourage non-PC exploration of tough issues.

How fragile is someone's sense of self and ego if that is a powerful trigger? It's a great weed-out for PC individuals honestly, if you think that's belittling then I probably don't want to talk further with you.

I take issue with the statement that since 2005 rents in London have only gone up by less than 4%. This is personal data but In 1998 I was paying £650 a month for fully furnished. In the same building but on the top floor unfurnished is £925.

I bought in 2000 and sold in 2015 for three times what I paid. The main people buying where I lived in East London, were from West London where rents were so high it was effectively cheaper long term to buy in East London. Number 47 on this page. https://www.rightmove.co.uk/house-prices/E10-6QB.html

My son-in-law and his wife had moved back in with us a year or two earlier because rents in East London had gone up. In 2015 a typical 2 bed flat in East London was £1,400 per month, West London around £2,500.

There's a simple reason why house prices and rentals in London have gone up. Demand due to mass migration. Back in 2015 London's population was at an all time high, numbers not since seen 1939 apparently. https://www.trustforlondon.org.uk/data/londons-population-ov... Many properties were bought-to-rent though that got hit by changes in law.

Where I am, a town is pretty much anything over 5K people. We jokingly call the nearest large village with 2K people a 'town' too.

I increasingly use swish in shops too. Just recently Swish QR codes have been plastered to tills everywhere. Its already ubiquitous.
Norway did well because its resources didn't exist, from a technological standpoint, for most of human history. The country was already highly developed and functioning as a cohesive culture for millennia before the North Sea oil had begun to be commercially exploited. This foundation allowed the population to assert some political influence in the development of the resource.

Africa, on the other hand, is a very different story. Tropical diseases, terrain, and other features of the continent have made it difficult to form stable, cohesive nations. Now you throw in the discovery of resources and only an elite have the power to exploit them.
How can you talk about irrationality when it's obvious that you've never worked on a Lisp Machine and are thus totally projecting and making up things?

Then of course you accuse the Lisp advocates of suffering from what you so clearly represent. If you had a clue, even a minimal one, you would never write 'just port the damn software'. This statement - and your previous comments - portray fundamental ignorance of what you are trying to argue against. May I suggest further education - Lisp Machine emulators are widely available - so as to stop making a fool of yourself.
> "RFR levels ranged from 1.5 to 6 watts per kilogram in rats, and 2.5 to 10 watts per kilogram in mice.". So, they put them in a microwave.

Not sure how you reached that conclusion. Microwave ovens often range from 600w to 1200w. So no, that's not anything close to that. Not to mention the animals would die quite quickly and there would be no experiment to be done.
> ...you need to manage your diet and drink kefir to consume the intake sugar...

For others wondering, drinking kefir does not "consume the intake sugar" as in consuming all the extraneous blood sugar, though there is a statistically significant but still smallish effect upon Type 2 diabetics. What is actually happening is not precisely known yet, but the conjectured mechanism is beneficial alteration of the gut microbiome [1]. Like general fitness, the "manage your diet" part is the key. Fix satiation issues (physiological and psychological) surrounding that intake of calories, and then it does become "as easy as" CICO. As an aside, this study came out of Iran, which is good to see in our over-polarized world geopolitical situation.

Is there anything we can do to stop being lonely?

Over the past few months, I have made great progress on developing habits to fight my depression. I wake up very early, hike, work on my side projects, and go to communal hacker spaces sometimes.

However, I and many others still feel very lonely, it's like we all live in seperate bubbles and can't connect deeply. I have no idea what causes this divide. Have humans always felt like this?
The original Radarange (microwave) cooked at either 500 or 800 watts, the upper number of which is the upper range in the study (10W/kg), where a human might weigh 80kg, = 800 watts.

My late uncle was in the US Army in Desert Storm. During that period, it was always hot, even at night, and the most comfortable place to sleep at night was on top of the humvee's hood.

But one night the radar got left on overnight, and he literally got cooked from the inside out (when it's 100 degrees outside, it's hard to pick up on that sort of thing).

He had health problems for the remainder of his life and died young (never found out how, but cancer would be my first guess). I really liked him.
Ah yes, the infamous “entry level” position that requires 3 years experience of Java|C++|C#.

> What I understand from it, and the parent comment, is that you're simply stuck in the beliefs of "diversity has ruined men", men have it worse, etc

No, don't put in my mouth words I never said.

I never said "diversity has ruined men". There is nothing in what I write that is even close to that. That's even a meaningless sentence for what I am concerned.

I also didn't say that men have it worse. They don't.

You are the one claming that women have it worse. They don't.

Some people have it worse, and they happen to be men and women. Some people have it better, and they also happen to be in both categories. So do people that face discrimination.

I am simply refuting is your claim that women are "underpriviledged". That is not true in any measurable way.

> If you want to have a men-centric platform

I don't. Where did I say that?

I only said that you provide narrow, politically-correct categories. The opposite of that is not reversing them and privilege another group. The opposite of that is to give everyone equal treatment, which you don't.

> I'll ask, how many women, people of colour, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities and many other groups do you follow?

Why should that even matter? Do you want to follow more women? Great, go on. Do you want to make a site for people that want to follow your specifically discriminatory categories? Please, have a go. But don't claim it's something else.

The ratio between the men and women I follow on Twitter, for what matters (which is 0) is pretty even. I follow them because they are individuials that have something interesting to say, not because of their gender or their skin color.

Why should I follow more (or less) people of color? Do you think they are different from white people? Do they all think the same to justify me following them just based on their skin color? Isn't that racist?

LGBTQ+ people and disabled people are a small percentage of the overall population. Why do you think they should have a higher number in the people I follow? And again, do they think differently from people not in those groups?

You can discriminate all you want, but you can't seat on the side of the "underrepresented".
