I had a company rip off my work last year (Udemy) and sell it to 12,000 students and I didn't see a dime of the 2.4 million they supposedly sold it full price for. Even though I know they didn't make that type of money, I had a legitimate claim for damages. Even still, attorneys will not talk to you for free. I was the number one story on Reddit when this happened and still, attorneys cost money and it's much easier to get what you want via the pitchfork mob to be honest, that's how my viewers took it to Udemy and they immediately took action. In this case, nobody in the industrialized world should be okay with the way China deals with trademarks.

The issue with Windows Phone was that it was a Microsoft venture, and Google was already paying MS around $5 in license fees for every activated Android device [0]. They weren't in any hurry to make WP more competitive by offering a Youtube app. I had a WP device in 2011, and there were third party apps (MetroTube I think) that were like Newpipe in that you could watching and download YT videos for offline viewing. Not surprisingly, Google changed their APIs and broke the download capability.

That said, Google didn't build third-party YT apps for BB10 or WebOS either.

I'm with you. I'm not convinced it will happen because we can't get our shit together on Earth. We're screwing this planet up, and I'm not convinced we'll ever even have the opportunity to screw up another one before some sort of massive extinction-level event of our species.

That being said, read The Night's Dawn trilogy. The undercurrent of those books is that we settled many planets specifically due to social/racial differences that we couldn't settle on Earth, but that aren't such a problem in space. It's an interesting take on the whole mess.
So, that “huge undertaking” is exactly what LineageOS is, isn’t it? So couldn’t Huawei fork that?

All other factors equal, the faster your body is able to absorb calories from what you consume, the worse it is for you.* Blending your food more can make it pass out of your stomach faster so your body will absorb calories from it faster, spike your insulin harder, and then you'll be hungry again sooner.

Some people do study this if you want to dig through papers. Here's one I found after a few seconds of googling: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19110020

* - Worse means different things in different contexts. If you drink a cup of oil, you'll probably get oily diarrhea instead of absorbing the calories. I'm not sure which is worse in that case.

I think that's fair to say. If you wish to incur risk and put some of your savings to work, then I would recommend the rental property game. I think it is the most effective way for a white collar worker to amass wealth in a single working lifetime. You must also take advantage of compounding savings in the market.

The mix of these 2 is dependent on the risk the person/couple is willing to incur.

All 'Android' phones sold in China did not rely a tiny bit of those Google stuff, as Google's existence in China has been negligible since it was blocked.

All major 'Android' manufacturers in China somewhat customized launchers with unique UXs. Notification services were always chaotic and every platform provider woke the phone up to checkout pending notifications and drained the battery. And this list of abyss easily expanded to App Markets and other features.

So blocking Huawei from Android might create some troubles but it would definitely not be around these proprietary features where other proprietary counterparts existed, at least in China, Huawei's home market.

> though with a worse nutritional profile

Based upon the requirements they have on display - I don't think so. All they are measuring is the calories and protein. There's not comment on the other nutrients, nor on the salts or sugars (you'll notice that flour is the best protein/dollar ratio).
Don't you find any moral issue in the state using its power to modify behavior?

Is the citizen subdued to the state, or does the state work for the citizen?
Yeah, that's why it ought to depend on how many resources are available.
The AHA recommends a maximum added-sugar intake of 25 g/day (6 teaspoons/day) for women, and 39 g/day (9 teaspoons/day) for men. Similarly, the WHO recommends that no more than 10% of total calories ("ideally less than 5%") should come from added sugar, which works out to 25 grams for a 2000-kcal diet. For comparison, the average American consumes roughly 70 grams of added sugar per day. [1]

I can't find a specific source for a ceiling of 5 g/day, but it's pretty uncontroversial that more added sugar is never better. The lower you set your maximum intake, the harder it is to maintain, since sugar is added to so many foods.

5 g/day is a somewhat arbitrary cutoff that's lower than official recommended maximums, but this doesn't imply that there should be no limit. Pick one. Or start with "as little sugar as practical," log how much sugar you end up consuming under this plan (using a food diary, food scale, etc.), and adjust as needed.

Maybe because natural languages are a useless analogy for this in the first place.

Apple basically found a way to game the system and ended up with a design that had fewer compromises and lower cost (on this front). I've heard several interviews on ANTIC The Atari 8-bit Podcast with various designers of the Atari computers who were very frustrated at being compelled to design their computers like a tank while Apple largely, in their view, just ignored the FCC and got away with it. Wikipedia has a more generous take on the situation, but even Wikipedia concedes that Apple was exploiting a loophole in the regulations.

Later, the FCC did relax its requirements, but by that point, Apple had established itself as the dominant player.

It's perfectly possible, and not that insane. Much more possible than most people likely think. The primary pain point is mostly web browsing - for a long time Elinks was the only halfway-viable web browser, and it has a lot of pain points. But maybe brow.sh is better these days - I've never tried it (although, arguably, running Firefox through a shoddy GUI inside a terminal doesn't really count as a "GUI cleanse".)

It's worth doing, purely for the enlightenment of freeing you from the busted, "macho" notion that a GUI is inferior to a command line. GUIs are awesome.

The fiber is whole fruit makes it much safer to consume. There are dietary exceptions, but sugar alone has 0 nutrients and causes unhealthy spikes in blood sugar (this includes fruit juice). The fiber in whole fruit helps smooth things out. Studies have been completed to test very high whole fruit consumption. I'll let you look them up because I get flamed every time I post a source because .... The Internet. The funny anecdote from these "super high fruit consumption studies" were massive, massive poos.

How to Enhance or Suppress Memories
What's wrong with showing someone the likely long-term consequences of using a product? How is that humiliating at all?

I cannot understand your problem at all, except that a government agency has placed certain restrictions on a certain type of product packaging, which seems entirely non-controversial to me.
How juices ( orange, grape, etc ) became a "healthy" is just as ridiculous as cigarettes being "healthy" at one point. Misleading ads via industry and regulator collusion is why we have terrible diets and health issues as a nation.

Sure a glass of orange juice may have "health" benefits like vitamin C or may be good for your heart, but only if we ignore the globs of sugar in it. The liquor industry has to get better PR people. They could be selling vodka and orange juice screwdrivers as a health drink.

It's the power of industry advertising and media. I bet most people today still think fruit juices are healthy and even encourage their children to drink "healthy" juices.
> Oh how I wish we could stop reinventing this same stupid wheel badly. And change the "wants" framed as requirements into something more reasonable, so that we could get away developing less bumpy wheels, perhaps even use one off the shelf.

They kind of actually already did, like all the chinese companies. Because CCP banned google from chinese market years ago. Banning all CCP related corporations should have been implemented as a part of opening to china. or at least as an answer to CCP's censorship protectionism, etc.
Because of the fiber in fruits and vegetables, your body digests them more slowly. Thus, the sugar enters your bloodstream more slowly.

It's kind of like the difference between drinking a beer on a full stomach versus an empty stomach.

In this case, 25g of sugar entering your bloodstream quickly is quite unhealthy.

(Related: If you want to understand this better, stop consuming refined sugar for about a month. Then go eat a peep on an empty stomach. You'll feel an intense sugar rush.)

Also pure egg whites.

You get a lot of protein per calorie and they're often reasonably priced. A 750mL or 1L carton is often around $6. (Sorry, speaking in CAD)

If you measure your usage, then two whole egg whites is equal to about 60mL or a quarter-cup. (at least for the brand I buy).

Over a carton that's between 24 and 30 large egg whites. The economy is pretty good.

Usually in a week between my girlfriend and I go through one carton of egg whites and maybe a large carton of eggs (18). We both love eggs. And I make a scramble every morning after the gym with usually between 2-4 whole eggs and 2-6 egg whites (w/ red pepper, green onion, spinach).

If you don't like the flavour of eggs, I can understand... but I love them. If you do like them, I recommend egg whites as very easy, economical protein. Egg whites might even be suitable for people who don't care much for the flavour as they're much milder, and easy to mask as well.
If you’re chewing the fruit as throughly as advised I doubt your stomach sees much difference between a smoothy and a fruit.

It would be very difficult to build a new Saturn V just because any product of any complexity is inherently embedded in the economic ecosystem it came from. If the plans specify a #5 Widget and nobody has made a #5 Widget in the past 30 years, then you’re kind of stuck even if the vastly superior #8 Widget is currently available in any hardware store.

What you say is true but it’s not correct to frame is as a step backwards as is often done. The Saturn V would be hard to build today because technology has moved forward a great deal.

This is an important distinction because it means that building a new rocket with the capabilities of the Saturn V is still very much possible. SLS and Super Heavy are two rockets in active development that will exceed the Saturn V. SLS is taking forever but that’s just a matter of not putting resources into it. It’s expensive, but Saturn V was too. Super Heavy is a little more speculative but it looks promising and its capabilities will blow Saturn V’s out of the water if it actually flies, and for far less money.
My parents both worked full-time (40h per week) when I was a kid in Germany. My mother cooked fresh daily, she just dropped by the supermarket on her way home from work, in and out in 10 minutes max. We went out to eat maybe twice a year. This was in the 90ies, but it is still very much the norm in Europe to cook at home, daily, especially if you have kids. To be honest, with the expection of frozen pizza, I wouldn't even know how to cook processed / pre-prepared food, we don't have a microwave oven in the kitchen (my parents had one in the 80ies and 90ies and only used it to heat milk).

There is a phenomenon that happens when things scale. A certain level of detail begins to fade into static fuzz around the edges.

Think about the difference in terminology between a coach and players. When a coach takes a team through a play, they usually don't tell the players which hand they need to dribble with or which foot to plant first when running, they use much broader strokes and leave the implementation details to the player.

Let's take the example of... perhaps a Jamaican bobsledding startup. In the early days, you don't know what you're doing so everything matters. You scrap to purchase airfare to get to key industry events so you can be where the players are. If you mess up almost anything, it's game over. But you make it there, and you perform like you knew you could. You pick up sponsors. Expenses like airfare are now no longer a problem. What before used to be a mad scramble to organize and scrape together funds and make sure you have a good pitch for the big meeting is now a smoothly oiled proven machine with accounting and assistant cogs. Your jerryrigged home workouts are now streamlined by an Olympic training facility. Your mind is now no longer occupied by what has become minutia to you. You don't really worry about grocery shopping because you have a team nutritionist. You don't care about how efficiently or inefficiently the process of grocery shopping and cooking goes down now, just that it does and is on time.

You no longer make music with an instrument. You conduct an orchestra. Your mind is now thinking in bigger blocks.
