These are not great sources. Your first link is mostly anecdotes and doesn't differentiate between "necessary" and "sufficient". No one is claiming that fiber alone will solve all of your health problems. There are also many types of fiber, even within the 'soluble' and 'insoluble' categories, with different properties.

You likely have a point since anything in excess can be harmful, but those references don't really support.

One thing to keep in mind is that you shouldn't switch diets drastically - you can't expect your low fiber/high sugar microbiota to be able to handle a large dose of fiber all at once. Think of your microbiota as something you need to cultivate.

By the way, there's increasing evidence that in the absence of fiber your gut bacteria resort to chewing back your own mucus, whereas if you give them some complex fiber to chew on they leave you alone (https://sci-hub.tw/10.1080/19490976.2018.1513765). This is temporary however and in the absence of fiber you can maintain barrier function if you simply make more mucus. But that requires more energy so you probably have to eat more. Everything has tradeoffs.

And other that just giving you the farts, many byproducts of fermentation like short-chain fatty acids (i.e. butyrate, propionate), are able to keep other bacteria at bay while simultaneously feeding your colon cells and keeping them in a non-inflamed state (https://sci-hub.tw/10.1038/s41579-019-0213-6 [Box 3]).
> limit population growth where it is exploding

How do you propose to do this? Genuinely interested in the answer, as this is probably the most practical if we can figure it out. Especially considering that nations retain sovereignty over their own policies, what's in it for them? They would lose economic growth.

> limit mass migration to countries with high per capita emissions

Again, can you clarify? Are you going to tell people they must remain in third-world undeveloped poverty? That's how you get wars.

> ask people to forgo affordable energy

Again, good luck. Most people aren't amenable to the idea of returning to a stone age.

Africa still has yet to industrialize, but it's coming, and with it a huge population boom. It would be a massive challenge to stop this, especially since it would likely economically cripple an already poverty-stricken continent and prevent or seriously inhibit economic growth. They are arguably the biggest concern here; not sure what we can do to stop it. Much of what you're saying seems premised on the "I'm-king-for-a-day" way of thinking.
I think if you live near public transit downtown it's easy to change jobs without a commute.
Ah ok, I see where you are coming from. Thank you for clarifying that.

Yes, if humans have adopted an ecologically vital role as an apex predator in certain spaces (like with hunting deer, boar, or fishing certain species), we shouldn't artificially remove ourselves from the ecosystem.
Facebook’s digital currency may force central banks to create their own
Hi, black software engineer from Chicago's West side. From 1st through 4th, I attended a community elementary school where my older sister and I were the only students who could effectively read at all. The entire school was participating in a remedial education program where all the textbooks, 1st through 6th or so, broke words in sentences down by syllable. They barely practiced math, they were so focused on just getting the ability to read to be set in. This created immense ostracization for my sister and I. She graduated after two years whereas I stuck around for another two through fourth. To give you an idea what some of the parents were on, once a bunch of classmates, whom I somehow got grouped into, were held for detention after school in class in third grade because they were ruthlessly making fun of a girl. As we all mandatorily stood with our hands on our heads, I watched as her father walked her MUCH OLDER MALE COUSIN into the class, after school hours, and proceeded to order him to beat each of us up one-by-one for making fun of his daughter. I was second to last for a beating when my third-grade teacher finally returned to the class and stopped this assault. Mind you, my mother worked at the school and this older cousin knew this and knew her as well. I've also seen kids smacked around and chastised _in front of the class_, by their parent, for failing to fight back in a fight (which is kinda important to learn, but that ain't the way to do it).

After years of this someone finally took notice and transferred me to a school in a historically Jewish neighborhood on the north end of the city where I was finally surrounded by children that were my academic peers, on a hour or so bus ride each day early in the morning. My first day of class in my new school was when I discovered there was this thing called cursive writing.

I don't think enough people understand the situation for a growing child in the tougher areas of Chicago, this was just all in the 90s, things are worse now.
Tech is not a choice, especially when there are evident benefits from the tech. Like for instance was agriculture a choice, yes maybe for a small while after it was invented. After that it was no longer a choice. Now it's not a choice at all. AI will be much quicker.
You can run your own matrix servers and they address most of the issues you can find with IRC. It's true that for a short while Matrix had some privacy concerns, and I'm relieved that they're being answered within a reasonable timeframe.

IRC's network architecture only survives because people tolerate it. Even slightly animosity from the community brings it down hard every time.

I think what's valuable is the chatroom model, which is largely dead outside of Telegram (which is, I agree, unusable from a user privacy and control standpoint). Part of the reason I'm passionate about this is that I want the model to be robust and well-maintained. I am nostalgic for the model, but I view the underlying legacy implementation as an obstacle to the preservation of that model.

Ooh, ze plot thickens. We call that little cage a 'lekegrind'.

Førskole is a bridge between kindergarten and primary school - typically a few hours a week for the last few months in kindergarten.

We've been pretentious at least since I attended førskole some 35 years ago! Hah! :)
Ah, makes sense. 30 minutes is a very slowly walked city mile for me (25min at a casual, unhurried pace, shaving a couple minutes off that for a 22-23min time with a bit more bounce in the step but still not jogging or even speed-walking) so I figured it was either round-trip or the slowest speed anyone capable of walking anywhere at all would attain—seems it's the latter.
Love that route. Also, on a train the ride is so much smoother - no starts or stop or dealing with traffic.

The pricing is nuts, though. A one way train ticket for that route is $36. The same trip via car takes about the same amount of time and $20 in gas. The train is a nice luxury for one person, but for the whole family it becomes very expensive.

Passenger rail in the US is absurd.
>Very real environmental issues aside, I'd question how many consumers ever actually repair their laptops.

Actual consumers? Very few. But a repairable machine retains much greater tradein/resale value reducing the chances it heads straight for the landfill. Witness the mighty 2012—2015 MacBook Pro and the resale value it commands to this day.
The original system was NTSC monochrome video. The screens were all multiplexed as analog cable channels, and any display could access any screen. Note the "TV Channel" number display to the upper right of the screen. Other locations on site also had a cable connection and could view all the screens.

The system was built by Ford Aerospace. The same system was used at NORAD at Cheyenne Mountain, and at the Blue Cube in Sunnyvale, the USAF control center for their satellites. Into the mid 1980s, which was kind of embarrassing.

Setups where any station can view any screen are common in command and control. Everybody can view the screen where the action is without hovering over the person controlling that station.
Note that the medical industry chose MRI because it hides a word that is so taboo they don't even want to see it mentioned anywhere: "Nuclear", from Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, even though it has nothing to do with radiations in this particular case.

Local homeless population rises as addiction, mental illness grow
Sounds like a horrible place
Not to worry there will be a big war/virus that wipes out a large population. Failing that a large population will die of climate change related pressures.

This will prompt certain genes to be more present in the remaining population. This will allow our kids/kids to survive.
Does Hydra follow the OAuth Security BCP (https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-oauth-security-topics...)? I do not see PKCE or mix-up mitigation mentioned, for example.
Then your posting was pure mockery and not only necessarily recognizable as such, but also not adding anything to the discussion. If you had made a clear statement about what you disagreed with, it might have improved the discussion.

And I don't think that the posting you answered was wrong. Apple calls this machine a "Mac Pro", so any professional users should be targetted by it - they don't have any other machines for professionals who require a desktop machine. Instead, they should have called it the "Mac Hollywood", as this seems to be the target audience.
I think the lack of social interaction from the office is a good thing because it's healthier for our friends to be outside of our work
Yep. 30% upfront.

But actually, once you show the customer what's involved, and give them a realistic estimate, it might reduce the chances of cancellation. The discussion might be steered towards what they really want, or prioritization of deliverables.

A mockup (and multiple iterations thereof) might be necessary as well.
I just round up. If I get pressed I round up higher.
That's just a technical problem that new infrastructure can solve by abstracting away the name. Instead of visiting 1e873645-1f68-4b48-9eae-934ec717229b.com/foo, you're just visiting "bar/foo", where 'bar' is their name. Click on the URL and the full hashed version is revealed for proper sharing.

In the same way that nobody memorised Facebook's UUID of a person, they can just remember their name.
You're right I think (about the "supernatural", not the "uselessly long-winded" bit, although I feel ya.)

Here's the thing that bother's me: both the superstitious people and the enlightened (in the sense of disenchanted) people are missing the point.

There is always a boundary between the known and the unknown.

(Just to pick a wacky one at random: there is no scientific evidence one way or another that "ghosts" are or are not made of "dark matter".)

I am not a scientist, but I am an amateur: I love science. Carl Sagan is a hero of mine. So one day I attended a Reiki session. What's Reiki? (Spoiler alert: NO ONE KNOWS! But I'm getting ahead of myself...) Reiki is the name given to a kind of healing energy (apologies to any physicists reading this) that can be channeled by people to engender healing effects.

So, I'm sitting in this chair, and this person is waving her arm at me from about a meter away, and damned if I don't feel something "filling me up" as it were.

Now I've felt e.g. high voltage fields, I'm no stranger to the Van de Graff generator and it's potential (no pun intended) to enable various party tricks.

This wasn't an electric field. For one thing I could feel it within the volume of my body and (somehow) extending into the space around me. For another it heals. I don't want to get into the personal details, but it accelerates or engenders healing on mental, emotional and physical planes simultaneously.

Now my first reaction, after the awe waned a little, was, "OMG let's do science to this!" But neither the Reiki practitioners nor the scientists that I have met are interested.

If someone were standing here in front of me I could affect them with Reiki "energy" and demonstrate a "supernatural" phenomenon at will. As you said, it is just "more natural, more stuff with causal powers". But in my experience the intersection on the Venn diagram of "Science People" and "Reiki People" is very sparsely populated.

The Fountain That Earns over 28 Times the US Minimum Wage
The longer I stay in this industry, the more anecdotes I accumulate that suggest that software development is not exclusively software development.

Software development is solutions development; but for a large subclass of problems, custom-built software that automates the tedious, predictable, and repetitive parts of the solution has been and always will be a competitive way to solve them. It's synecdoche, a metonymy for "software development [and other assorted disciplines of problem-solving]".

Software is the hammer in the toolbox. Things that look like nails get hammered. The hammer is so useful to organizations that have many nail-like objects sticking up, that handypersons who only have a hammer in their toolbox can still work continuously, and may never need to do anything else but hammer things. This may become common enough that folks who also keep vice grips, screwdrivers, hand saws, duct tape, and penetrating oil in their toolboxes are forbidden from using those tools. They were hired for the hammer; they should use the hammer. And what's all this nonsense about non-hammer tools, anyway? We've never needed anything but hammers here, and that's the way we like it.

Agile is about advising organizations with strict rules and style guides for nail-hammering to loosen up and let the hammerers determine how to wield their own hammers, and possibly also choose the length and width of the nails.

Despite the amount I actually get paid, working upstream of the problem far enough to eliminate both the nail and the hammer--possibly using a more appropriate tool--is apparently above my pay grade. Agile never fixed that. It never even suggested that a non-hammer world exists. Even the CTO position might as well be chief hammering officer. The 'T' restricts the domain of authority. An organization that is agile instead of just Agile needs to have someone around that can meaningfully restructure the company itself, such that the assumptions already built in to its organizational hierarchy are not inevitably replicated in the processes of all of its subdivisions. That's why Agile never fixed anything. The CEOs still kept telling their CTOs to take charge of all the hammers and pound something out. Those companies founded to be Agile put different assumptions into their organization. When that changes, going through the motions of Agile won't help them any more.
> the petroleum industry gets billions in tax subsidies yearly already, so this would be a leveling of the playing field

Well... this is Norway. The oil industry isn't subsidized by the government, the government is subsidized by the oil industry.
> The sad part is that to a lot of scientists and researchers, software/software engineers isn't something worth paying for.

I have to ask how you came to this conclusion. Did you have anecdotes from them supporting this or did you just conclude "they are not paying for it therefore software is not worth paying for to them"?
I own a Cube, it’s 18 years old and still runs. The problem with the Cube was that it cost too much - it was basically a low-end PowerMac at a high-end PowerMac price. Turns out there wasn’t a market for it.

Still the best looking computer ever made in my opinion.

After considering everything I've seen and experienced about Apple products, I just can't help but feel like there really is nothing substantial to them these days, and it follows from that that I find it questionable people still buy them. I wouldn't quite use this to call people intellectually bankrupt. Maybe there really is to something to them providing enough value to be worth the markup to some people but I doubt that's the case for most.
So just kill the whales and let them sink to help the climate then?
There's no ruling forbidding this. The SCOTUS case in question was a developer suing a town over zoning ordinances, claiming that they violated the 14th Amendment. That was resolved a long time ago. The hypothetical lawsuit here would be a town suing the state, claiming that the state doesn't have the power to control local zoning regulations. But I don't know where you'd even begin to argue that -- local land-use regulations are considered a delegation of the state's police power. Under current SCOTUS precedent, it would be totally legal for a state to outlaw all local zoning ordinances and mandate their own.
As I understand the point about Go complaint is to parse actual real world robots.txt. For which you don't need to behave exactly as this library does.
I really wish I could restore functionality to a MBP by changing the way I hold it, but alas, the situation seems far worse than even antenna-gate.
Direct cash payments to not have children, with the value based on lifetime carbon emissions next of kin would’ve emitted (regardless of where you live in the world). Eventual goal is funding from carbon markets.

Disclaimer: I am funding a non profit startup to bootstrap this. We are working very hard to ensure it’s operating as ethically as possible.
“Because the REP was only a de-facto standard for the past 25 years, different implementers implement parsing of robots.txt slightly differently, leading to confusion. This project aims to fix that by releasing the parser that Google uses.”

The amount of arrogance in this sentence is insane.

Because Google way is the only one true way?
