Should we trust the government to decide what food is “healthy”? Absolutely not. Just look at how many times the “recommenced diet” has changed in the past few decades. There’s no reason to expect that the current evidence against sugar is more correct than previous (now debunked) evidence against fat.

What’s more, what’s healthy depends on who you are. People with eating disorders, for example, need easy access to caloric foods, including sugary foods, to weight restore and eat healthily.

Instead of focusing on trying to figure out what is and isn’t good for you, we should focus on making sure people have access to foods we already know are healthy by eliminating urban food deserts.
> I disagree that a studio apartment is _extreme_ frugality. Not many years ago, it was standard for people to live on much less space per person than these days.

And I also disagree; I have lived in a studio before.

But in this context -- owning a 4 bedroom house yet deciding to rent out the remaining rooms to live in one of the bedrooms -- it is indeed extreme frugality.

> Yes you would. If your financial goal was to have enough money to put food on your table, you'd care less where that table was located.

So you think that there are people out there who own a 4 bedroom house and have a 7 figure (?) household income and yet struggle to put food on the table??

Or do you just have trouble sticking to context?
I'm not familiar with EU laws on this but I highly doubt it. You don't define speed limits assuming a capable driver in an M3, you define them for a questionable driver in a Renault Clio.

Overeating on just fat and protein is actually something your body can handle and even leverage over time, though.

Also let's not overlook how alcohol could contribute to obesity either.

"Yes, cycles was used for everything, though our version of cycles was modified (with stefan's embree core, and crypto-mattes which were beyond valuable for compositing). The version of blender we used was the studios own dev version (which I believe was using blender 2.78 as it's base?)"

We have plenty of poor folks in our urban areas.

this is cool, but I have to wonder how much of this is ZFS and how much is the hardware. don’t get me wrong: it’s impressive, but to make the claims about ZFS you need to have a scientific approach that would involve a control group, various types of motherboards, memories, power supplies, etc + thorough reproducibility of the conditions.
> People with eating disorders, for example, need easy access to caloric foods, including sugary foods, to weight restore and eat healthily.

What is refeeding syndrome?
the second is not a good source. The title is misleading as the article itself says experts don't agree.

I don't think it's clear what is an "addiction", as addiction is part of how humans (and all brains) work. reinforcement of reward is necessary for normal function. The most discrete sign of addiction would be the molecular switch DeltaFosB which is manifest in behavioral and drug addictions. However, for things like sugar things are more nuanced.

The two are also hard to compare side-to-side because alcohol addiction is like 50-70% genetic, and the effects tend affect other people more severely while sugar basically harms the person who eats it.

any religious group that considers your occasional absence as a crisis is a group i'd stay away from. but fortunately not all religious groups are like that. if anything, for things like scouting and sports groups, or any kind of group where you learn something together it is more important that members attend regularly.
> If you eat stuff with a lot of sugar it makes things without sugar actually taste worse.

You can still eat less sugary stuff in general (which is what most people do). Changing your taste is not addiction, it's a reasonable shift in preferences.

Society may care more about alcohol addiction because it tends to affect people other than the alcohol consumer.

Personally - more options, more modes, more control.
In Poland the speed limits are certainly more like "minimum required" signs and only very recently a law was introduced that you lose your licence for going 2x the speed limit....but only in towns. Outside of them you can be going as fast as you like and you can't get a ticket higher than 1000PLN(€250). I think at least bribes are either less common now or completely gone, I haven't heard of anyone successfully bribing their way out of a ticket for years now but my dad used to say that he would always get out of them by leaving a 50pln note in the documents.

But yes, in my experience if you happen to be driving at the speed limit(or god forbid - below!) You will have people driving 50cm behind you and overtaking dangerously while beeping.
I think you mean 'intersection'.

This is ranging on hyperbole. Even in the case of a meltdown the result wouldn't be another Chernobyl. The latter was an unshielded reactor.

Shrug; I'm honestly just grasping at a straw there to form a plausible hypothesis of how someone else's sugar consumption affects me in the way that cigarette smoke does. Since I have to pay taxes and forced public health insurance premiums (that are based on my income rather than claim history or health), that's what it must be. Anything unhealthful indulged by a large segment of the population is increasing that burden.

The issue is not that high calorie vegan and vegetarian foods don’t exist, it’s an issue of convenience. Fast food restaurants, for all the hate they get, are really important sources of food for people who are too busy to cook. Unlike normal people, vegans can’t just stop at a chain restaurant and order a filling meal. Most vegans I know have to be exceedingly deliberate to make sure they eat enough because it’s so hard to find affordable vegan food unless you cook it yourself.

Because if you don't take that in to account, you only played enough attention to validate a worldview in which capitalism justifies unbounded exploitation.

Capitalism operates within specific bounds outside of which the axioms on which it is based cease to produce net positive effects for the health of the societal framework in which it operates based on it's tendency to inequitably partition the fundamental means of exchange without active measures in place in order to ensure that the majority of capital continues exchanging hands instead of languishing in accounts chasing after opportunities for growth rendered nigh-impossible to find once a "winner" is established by conservative investment strategies in most industrial verticals, and that winner optimized beyond the reach of meaningful competition by new entrants.

You'll then end up in repetitive cycles of boom and bust as too much capital chases too few opportunities for growth; all the while with the financial industry converging toward whatever form is most able to avoid current regulatory controls.

No it wouldn't, for software to be "Free software" it must be GPL-or-other-copyleft-license licensed, which aside from being trivially impossible in a world without intellectual property laws, also has different outcomes than placing the source in the public domain. For example nothing prevents me from taking some public domain code and including it in my closed-source application, but the GPL forbids this.

i agree generally (that urban areas are more efficient), but i also think that rural and even suburban areas represent immense reserve resources that protect against unforeseen (and admittedly unlikely) catastrophies, and there's value in bringing accessibility infrastructure--electricity, communications technologies, roads--to those areas (for everyone, including urbanites).

I've lived on both continents (and one extra for good measure) and I'm afraid I can't agree.

What I see is that there's plenty of innovation in Europe but it's rarer for companies to become the monstrous beasts that are so well known in America, which might make it harder to see.

Also some of the companies you've listed are genuinely innovative (Google produced the best search engine, SpaceX made reusable rockets work, Tesla made electric cars work, Apple made PDAs work) but others are large because they have limited competition due to being in an expensive industry (it's hard to build a fab and start producing CPUs like Intel or to buy as many distribution centers or datacenters as Amazon) or because they blatantly flaunt the law to the point where they likely couldn't have started in Europe, where regulators have teeth and use them (Uber, Airbnb).

Another difference might be that in America you get one enormous company that does many things while in Europe you get small companies that do one thing each. Google does email, photos, search, YouTube etc., Amazon does retail and cloud and Facebook owns most major social networks. In Europe there are smaller companies that do all of these things, they're just not unified in one enormous organization. That doesn't mean there's no innovation, it just means you have to look in more than one place to find it.

To give some examples of smaller, successful, mission-focused European companies: Spotify does nothing but music, Skype did nothing but voice and video calling (before being acquired), there are a few email providers like Protonmail and Mailbox.org, a few major cloud providers like Leaseweb, Hetzner and OVH, Criteo, a huge AdTech company, Mikrotik which produces networking equipment, uBlox which produces GPS modules. Those are just a few off the top of my head.

Catastrophic. BTRFS failed twice with a large raid array when one of the drives started developing bad sectors (two different drives at two different times, same result, entire raid array unrecoverable).

Title companies or title insurance is one piece I've never fully understood.

Are title companies basically just insurance companies that do a lookup in public / private records on that property to make sure the person selling the property is actually owned by them. And if they did poor research or the records were wrong, they'll pay for fees. Is that accurate or am I missing something?
Chernobyl is particularly relevant though due to the similarity of the potential failure modes (control rod thermal failure preventing full insertion leading to meltdown).

Like Chernobyl, AGR reactors do not have secondary containment: the idea was that as they are gas cooled (no water to phase change) and have enormous cores (so much more time to deal with heat build up), they are safe enough to not need it.
BTRFS is the only filesytem that failed and was rendered unrecoverable in all my life ( after a hard reset ) .

That's an anecdote sure but that's enough to never use it ever again for me.

I wish I could talk about our recruiting funnel numbers. It is the farthest thing from efficient.

Our current food supply is dominated by industrial farms and imports. Neither of these are likely to be affected.

This is why my dad installed battery-backed solar in 2008. The power lines would have been 18k, whereas the solar system was 22k IIRC. Note that this quickly stops being a viable option for an actual farmer/rancher, it only provides enough power for a small hobby farm. Regardless, it's entirely feasible for the only utility to be wireless internet via RE, pripane/wood heat, well & septic. None of this is cheap though.

OH, and the reason the power lines were so expensive is his neighbor had paid 30k to run the line, which was within 1/4 mile of my dad's place. There was a period of maybe 10 years where any new customers connecting to the line would pay a portion, which would be refunded to the neighbor who originally paid.
