It’s likely a lack of calories. You’ll need a surplus to gain any mass. Keep in mind that you will gain fat and muscle at the same time - if you’re already lean then you’ll gain relatively lean too. But understand you will get “fatter” too

Sounds like if you workout already and aren’t seeing results you probably aren’t eating enough. But your workout might also not be ideal.

For things diet related Alan Aragon is a decent resource. If you’re visual Jeff Nippard on YouTube isn’t bad.

For calculating your daily intake requirements: https://tdeecalculator.net isn’t terrible.

As it sounds like you’re an ectomorph, I’d suggest going higher carb.

Using the linked calculator, you should be given a macronutrient split and total calorie intake for bulking.

Try following that for 4 weeks.

I’d suggest picking up a scale that measures body fat too. They aren’t completely accurate, but better than nothing. Something like: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N1UX8RW

You should get a couple of baseline readings from this in the mornings now. After 4 weeks of bulking get a couple more.

Once you start to plateau, increase your calories by 3-500 (try to keep the same macronutrient split).

Repeat this process.

Decide what amount of body fat you are ok with and bulk until you reach that. Then decide what you’d like to do from there

You should plan to bulk for 3-6 months at a time to notice a real difference.

I’m sure you are already, but drink plenty of water. 2-4L of fluid per day (water, milk, etc). Keep in mind that your body can only handle around ~800ml per hour - so if you’re behind don’t try to “catch up” because you’ll end up dehydrating yourself. I’d post a source for this, but I’m on phone

Make sure you eat enough fiber, don’t overdo added sugars, etc

As for should you use protein supplements:

Only if you cannot (for whatever reason) eat the required amount from food.

I use protein supplementation, but I also get a lot from milk, meat, eggs, etc

Protein supplements are not harmful and you shouldn’t experience side effects. Just don’t rely on them heavily (I use at most 2 scoops a day) and choose quality brands.

There’s a lot more to gaining mass than I’ve posted here, but what I’ve posted isn’t a bad start.

Make sure you’re working out with intensity, giving yourself adequate rest, sleeping enough, reducing stress, not training to failure all the time, and progressing steadily in your workouts.

As others have stated, adding mass and eating more is taxing to the body in the long run. So staying lean and eating less might be more beneficial for you long term
I suppose I decide on a whim or follow inspiration. Among the list of interests is at least one that's practical/money-making. On the other hand, the job took up the entirety of my life while I was working many years ago and was absolutely pointless. In eating up all my time, there wasn't any left to do anything else. I worked during 2008-2010 and it was so bad there wasn't even time to go to the grocery store. If such a situation can be avoided, then you may be able to make it all happen.
I have about 400-500 open tabs spread between three browsers on three systems which I'm using simultaneously.

> Are you confident that 100% of the devices you own use privacy addresses and do not leak non-privacy addresses?

I've heard stories, but I've never seen a modern operating system without privacy extensions in the wild. Maybe XP, but did XP have IPv6 enabled by default? As far as I know it didn't.
In school, usually the only talent noticed is "they do well in (some part of) my class." And the only real advice most teachers can give at that point is "you should go to college (and most likely study this same subject)." Most teachers are not aware of even a fraction of the opportunities that would transcend that kid to a better life. Given the adversities some kids face, the advice to even go to college could fall on deaf ears.
When an economic system can no longer be sustained except by its members being on drugs, it’s nearing the end.
Right, let me clarify. Let's define three realms of experience for the sake of conversation: (physical/material), (emotional), (intellectual). For simplicity let's assume that all human experiences may be categorised thus.

Now, what can money buy? Only things on the physical level, that is, _sense experiences_. Sights, sounds, smells, tastes and touches. That's it. Money can't buy love or knowledge. Maybe a library, but not knowledge :)

So even in a naive examination money has limited uses which apply at the physical/material level. It's useful to note that happiness/wellbeing is largely a state of mind and thus you might find someone who is equally or more happy than you despite not having the generator. How is this possible?

The point is that as inherent motivation money just isn't good. People who are incentivised inevitably want greater and greater compensation or they burn out. In contrast, those fired up by a higher ideal (which, of course, includes the wellbeing of the family) are motivated by an initiative to work which is not dependent upon something external.

So, make your money, and install that generator. But don't make the mistake of thinking your wellbeing/happiness is dependent upon XYZ externally.
So storing data remotely is now a security nightmare? It doesn’t really help to exaggerate like this.

Thanks, I misunderstood that Unison had any sort of 1:M sync - seems like that part is a hack using multiple pairs in a star topology.

For organizing files I can suggest a combination from meaningful folder structure and tags. Mac OS offers a great way to organize files with tags, but it is limited only for the Apple world. There are bunch of tools offering organizing files with tags, but most of them are cloud based or use databases for storing the tagging information. Both ways are locking your files in a third party systems in some way.
A tool for organizing local files and folders with tags lacking these limitations is TagSpaces. If is open source and freely available from https://www.tagspaces.org
> 2. Non-technical people have a hard time (read: bordering on impossible) remembering their usernames, let alone passwords, and by using the phone number as both identification and authorization, the problem is sidestepped.

In Signal it's a requirement and not a convenience: I would like to avoid using the number, and I'm able to configure it, but I can't, because the apps don't allow that. Just the same like I have to use it for a new Google account etc.

The real reason is: both the spy agencies and the ad companies really like to be able to easily identify everybody.
Why don't we actually ask the question from a perspective of a user.

Do people want randomly scattered , unmaintained information containers which are not accessible via unified interface, but still vulnerable to theft and abuse ?

Or the desirable functionality is an easy to use, secure, organized knowledge repository ?

My answer is:
As a user, I want to be the only one able to search my own information, and I want to do it conveniently and securely.
I'm a right handed American, but apparently sort of use left handed European style--I hold the fork in the right hand and the knife in the left hand, and they stay that way for both cutting and conveying to mouth.

I say sort of because that says European style is tines down, and Wikipedia tells me that tines down is used in that style even when using the fork to lift something that isn't impaled on the fork, whereas I do the sensible thing and flip to tines up for such tasks.

I do not understand either American style or European style with the fork in the left hand, but maybe I don't eat anything that requires great knife dexterity to cut at the table, so putting and keeping the knife in the less dexterous hand seems the logical approach.

Are there common foods that are sufficiently challenging to cut at the table that the knife needs to be in the dominant hand?

The cutlery question that I want an answer to is why the heck do my steak knives have a sharp tip? I don't stab my steaks. I cut them, which would be fine with a rounded tip. The only stabbing my steak knives ever do is my hand, by accident, when I'm loading or unloading the dishwasher.

PS: I was completely unable to recall or figure out what my knife and fork style was while reading this thread. I had to go to the kitchen and actually get a knife and fork, and actually go through the motions with them in hand to see what I did.
This is a reference to the baby milk scandal [1]. Nestlé would market their powdered baby milk in developing countries as being better than breast milk, even though it's not. Worse than that, they would give away samples to new mothers for free or a substantially reduced price, who would then lose the ability to lactate because they're because they're not actively doing it. After that they would be forced to buy the powder, and not all of them could afford it.

This was at its worse in the late 1970s, but it seems the practice hasn't entirely stopped even today

To put in blunt terms, the difference is between science and social science.

In economics the outcomes are always modeled with one or few input variables: something went up/down because something else went up/down etc reality is rarely so trivial or well understood. Add that with the ability to impact geopolitics you get schools of thought and cult like following.

Nobody outside of theoretical physics cares about rivalry between string theory and loop quantum gravity perhaps not many within. However lot of people care about their economic schools of thought and it standing in academia/public discourse, as many regulatory/ political decisions are made (justified at-least) with some economic/sociological theory or other.
I use an app I made called ghostnote which basically allow you add attach notes in context of what you are doing currently working on. But I like your idea of using messenger or something like that as a, even more, laissez-faire approach

I’ve not done any real finance programming, so is this a reasonable explanation?

Currency is stored as a count of cents (millicents if being fancy). Therefore the two main features of floats are not useful:

- Support for very small numbers is not needed. Floats dedicate approx half their range to numbers between -1 and +1, this is wasted when counting whole cents.

- Support for very large numbers at the expense of precision is actively bad, as the precision must always be down to individual cents.

So the useful range of floats is much reduced when using floats for counting, approx 54 bits out of a 64 bit float are used. Instead ints (“counting numbers”) are much better for counting cents than floats (which approximate the continuous real numbers in a finite number of bits).
For those on iOS with a device that supports 3DTouch, there’s an option to add a new card in the menu that pops up from the Trello app icon on the home screen. Granted that 3DTouch features are not easy to discover though.
Possibly because they charged more for static IPv4 addresses and wanted to continue to receive that income with IPv6.
Just because something is social signaling (which it undoubtedly is in Theils case), doesn't mean it isn't true, and that you shouldn't follow the advice.

Only the encryption layer of the protocol is the same, they are not really compatible otherwise.

I assume it's a design trade-off when you have E2EE and don't store any messages on the server. With Signal (and I assume Wire) you have to register each device and each device needs to manage its keys. Every message is send multiple times, once for each device, and each device has an independent message queue on the server. That's why you only get the messages from after you registered the device.

Whatsapp doesn't have to do any of that and can just keep the keys on one device.

Before 80,000 Hours started, there was Giving What We Can - which gave me meaning in my life. It reminded me of how incredibly fortunate I am to be where I am: earning even $50k/year puts me in the richest 2% of the world! https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/get-involved/how-rich-am-i/

This means giving 10% of my income to cost-effective charities that help other individuals is entirely within my means.

Over the years, within the Effective Altruism (EA) community I have met amazing people - devoting their lives to solving important, neglected problems, people who give 50% of their income to help others, and more. I'm consistently inspired by them to do more - and it makes life a thrill.

In theory, theory and practice are the same thing. In practice, they are not.

The first two books of Gormenghast are probably my favorite bits of writing. I am incensed that copyright law is hindering me from spreading those books with more people, and it really hurt to have my hopes raised when reading this fine article.

Also, as a technical matter, I'm only able to make recommendations from books I have actually read - Peake was perfect. Kipling didn't have the same ability to capture a scene in words, and I havn't really heard of most of the other authors you mention. Allowing that many other writers from the early 20th century were very, very good at writing, I'm only going to be reading them in large number if I am actively structuring my reading around trying to reduce the damage of copyright law.
Maybe it's working through a quirk, or maybe Firefox team writes better code that handles a wider range of drivers. I choose to use Firefox because the team behind it cares about my needs. If Google can't afford to make a browser that works with open source drivers, I will simply choose not to use it and encourage others to use Firefox instead. This is precisely why having alternatives to Chrome is important.

I assume they removed it because they don't want anyone to use old insecure code. The RedPhone server hasn't been used for years now and was replaced with a better implementation.

You're right there's no official support on their server, but there are some unofficial guides on their community forums on how to set it up. Also, GCM is not a hard dependency. On Android it will fall back to using only websockets (and no GCM) when Google Play Services is not installed since some time. What other features have they removed without replacement?
I've never minded when my employees do this (and can't imagine why I would). I've also done it myself fairly often because of the PTO rollover limits.

>they now can't admit that it was "absolutely nothing".

It may or may not have been an attack but what’s the explaination for 24 embassy staff members randomly experiencing the same symptoms and all showing brain abnormalities?

I think it’s a lot more likely intelligence agencies know exactly what caused it. Public releases of sound clips of strange sounds claiming to be the cause, later publications proving those sounds to be crickets and nothing Nefarious all reads like something out of an intelligence playbook to misdirect the public and other governments. Unless you are intimately familiar with intelligence operations it sounds like conspiracy theory, until you come full circle to 24 staff members with brain abnormalities. At minimum that doesn’t result from absolutely nothing.

I beg to differ. Some ideas related to training methods of deep neural networks e.g binarized neural networks, asynchronous SGD are used in datacenter infrastructure see https://research.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/hpca-2018.... Some of the companies that I built in the past in Montreal uses SOTA research for sound event detection, a dropout method that friends and I co-authored were used in production at an NLP company (that I cannot disclose).

How was it ruled out. Did they find physical damage in the brain or other organs?

In a lot of cases it was self reported or stuff people could fake if they wanted "oh look, I am losing my balance and falling".

Another point to consider is that a lot of the staff were CIA emoyees working in an embassy that was probably going to be closed or have staff reduced because of the current administration's stance regarding Cuba. And one thing CIA employees do professionally is make up cover stories. If they could make up a cover story to retire early with extra pension for injuries in a high profile case, I can see some taking that route.

For instance last time we discussed a story in the New Yorker about someone who went through this and surely at the end they said they might retire early because of the injuries received. That for some reason made me skeptical too...

That's widely inaccurate, as far as I know. After you spend your glycogen reserves and then fat, then and only then the muscle tissue is broken and eventually used as energy. That happens if you have no other source of energy (starvation? or something), so this is definitely not normal behavior.

Not sure why you are down voted. I think not is a fantastic question. I've seen raw intelligence in some high schoolers and near zero motivation. What about their lives and environment prevents them from stretching and self-motivating?

I think part of it is environment: they don't see others who they can emulate that they can relate to or others that support them in their peer group. Part of it is innate - and this is the part I relate to. For me, I did not know what I was going to do after, but I knew that school/university was the only way I would get there. I put my efforts towards that. My passion was to not be in the situation(s) my parents were in. That meant waking up at 4am in highschool to do homework or study to help get the eventual near-fullride scholarship to a university. Some of my cohort would rather just play videogames or do other things to escape their reality.

Citation needed, because this isn't really true.

Even if one concedes your (unspoken) idea that only financial transactions aren't "academic" (which also isn't true), in the real world financial transactions will typically include currency conversions, and those will have all sorts of weird non-decimal factors.
