Lean meat is has around 100 kcal per 100 grams. This is similar to most fruits and veg.

More fatty meat sits at around 230 kcal per 100 grams.

You'll find that carb sources are around 200-350 kcal per 100 gram and sweet process foods are around the top of this level.

So when the OP says that the calorie density in meat is low, they are correct in the case of lean meat.

> So if you give them $1, the bank can now lend $5 (without actually having it) and then make many times that $5 in interest

Sigh

This is not how it works. (It’s a common misconception, however.) Loans create deposits, not the other way. Most money is created by banks, not the central bank or mint [1].

From a consumer perspective, imagining a bank as taking your $1 and lending it out five times is okay. But systemically speaking, it’s a misleading model. The truth is the bank created $5 in loans, and through that $5 in deposits. About $4 of those deposits were then spent and ended up in other banks or bank accounts as deposits.

The loan always comes first. The BoE has a good primers on this [2].

If Germany switched back to the Deutsche Mark tomorrow, their currency would instantly shoot up in value relative to the rest of the EU. That'd make their exports less competitive and make the exports of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy more competitive.

It's not just the currency though. The "German model" has been to keep wages depressed. That's also how their exports are "cheaper". Make no mistake the result has been to enrich German capital at the expense of labor (even German labor).

The whole point of keeping all that cash in the bank is to avoid risk. Few people can deal with exchange rate risk.

In fact the EU fiscal crisis came from people basically doing what you said: putting their euros in Greek and Spanish banks that paid higher interest than German banks were. They assumed they’d have no exchange rate risk (they didn’t, except at a macro level) but also assumed they’d have the same bank regulation and guarantees they had at home. Oops!

There is a difference - the money that’s stored in the bank is not just sitting there. It is lent out with an interest to people who need to borrow money and earns the bank an income. The banks want your deposits because it lets them earn money. To compete with one another they offer interest bearing deposit accounts.
Although a corporation is soulless entity, the people working in an organization are not. I'm fairly certain that the corporations I've worked for technically had only shareholder value optimization as an objective, but that doesn't mean that the managers treated me unkindly. I was given leniency with partial days off, working from home and leisure time when things were slow. The managers wanted to make me happy because they wanted me to continue to work there. Also my job consisted of problem solving which required a creative element that cannot be extracted by force. The same is true for the corporations I do business with (e.g. fast food restaurants have to obligation to give me free water)

For that reason, I don't think there needs to be an explicit statement of maximizing stakeholder well being.

I'm not surprised that many managers and business owners like this idea, as it gives them more flexibility, but that's not necessarily a good thing. It allows them to finance pet projects, grow bureaucracy and overall be immune from business concerns.

I'm not sure it's possible to have liberty without prosperity. If the only way someone can provide for their needs is to conform then they don't have liberty.

Even though certain economists and politicians know better, they ultimately reflect the political will of the people. So while at an individual level it doesn't matter that someone saves all their income and spends nothing, if that becomes the "culture" then it influences politics (which it has). Even the leftist parties in Germany don't drift far from this orthodoxy.

The great thing is that negative rates are self-correcting. While the story mentions the German finance ministry is considering making it impossible for banks from passing on the negative rates to depositors, so clearly they're going to try literally everything to keep the delusion going, eventually after putting their banks at risk and realizing the negative rates aren't going away they'll figure out they need to actually spend on a national level.

The article, ahem hit piece, basically reports on surveillance commonplace along the border.

But, by picking a border reservation, the exact same surveillance is falsely setting CBP up as a bogeyman apparently racist towards natives - all of which is left unsubstantiated by the article.

The origin of surveillance tech is of no relevance, other than to malign Israel. What would change if the tech were from, say Canada? Nothing but the outage channeled at Israel.

Here's the entirety of the article without the undercurrent prodding outrage:

Surveillance towers capable of infrared tracking of humans for upto 1 mile are common along the border. Some borderland overlaps with Indian reservations.

Well, I think asking a Gentoo guy if the compile times are worth the performance boost is quite valid (I used Gentoo for several years).

But just because you are using Linux, doesn't mean you have to spend a lot of time customizing. Actually, customizing can be a lot quicker on Linux than on Windows for example (due to the well-integrated package managers).

That said, I do think that some customizations help with productivity, but you should know your limits. If you are trying something completely new, which nobody has done before, you are unlikely to find huge productivity boosts. But if you cautiously follow some best practices you might find some productivity treasures.
The reservation is roughly 60 x 60 miles and roughly squarish. So it appears that the surveillance is a few mile deep strip along its southern border.

> I'm curious to this as well. I recently got a desktop computer to supplement my MacBook, and am now using Ubuntu as my more-or-less primary OS.

I have used macOS as my primary OS from 2007 to ~2017 (before that BSD and Linux). I am now mostly back on Linux, though I also have a MacBook Pro that I use every now and then. Primary reasons for switching back to Linux:

* MacBook hardware limitations: too few ports, keyboard problems, expensive upgrades.

* Competitive hardware prices for Linux. I got a NUC8i5, which was somewhere between 300-400 Euro and has the same quad core CPU as my 2000 MacBook Pro. I added a 500GB SSD I had lying around and 16GB RAM. I have more resources for a fraction of the price, and can always bump up the SSD or memory relatively cheaply.

* Nix. There is package/system management before and after Nix. I actually started with Nix on macOS, but being able to manage your whole system declaratively is awesome.

* The subscription disease on macOS. I am fine with buying good applications. Overall I have probably spent thousands of Euros on licenses for macOS software. But I will not use an application with a subscription model. Period. [1] It transfers a huge amount of control from me to the software vendor. Unfortunately, more and more macOS applications are switching to subscriptions.

* Linux is generally faster than macOS.

There are also things that I like about macOS: Apple's strong push for security (including sandboxing of applications, T2, etc.), fewer issues with drivers and random paper cuts, better support for hardware decoding throughout applications, traditionally strong 3rd-party applications (OmniGraffle, Little Snitch, LaunchBar/Alfred, Things, OmniFocus, etc.), integration through AirPlay, handover, et al.

Well, I have leather hiking boots. Heavy but highly functional.

It always seemed crazy to me that leather goods, while functionally inferior in most cases, are considered the ”luxury” versions. Some sort of Vleben reasoning I suppose.

Well, at least it’s biodegradable unlike most of the alternatives. That’s a big deal too.
I assume from your username that you're in your mid-30s. If that's so, then it's a largely generational thing.

The generations in Western Europe who are 45-50+ have considerable wealth and thus have been able to save. For the generations below it's not really possible, on a macro level, to save money. They need all their money for housing and what's left to try to keep up the pretense that they're as successful as their elders.
This is a very interesting idea that I hadn't really considered before.

Under this system would it still be possible to fire people without cause? Would there be some mechanism to share profits with the employees? Without those I think it would still be a situation where some of the stakeholders are more "first class" than others.

Who do you think managed to maintain the Euro as a going concern?

And don't forget Germany suffered quite a lot after the introduction of the Euro, and it didn't really have anyone else to bail it out.

Edit: In the first paragraph in referring to the aftermath of the financial crisis, when PIIGS was an acronym, and France wasn't looking too great either.

And in the second paragraph in referring to immediately after the introduction of the Euro. The Euro appreciated, German exports lost competitiveness whilst it lost the power to devalue its currency. It managed to increase its productivity per worker though and has reaped the benefits since. It too has seen the downsides of not having control of its own currency.

Broader interest rates are low, too. The revenue potential for banks is limited. Particularly European ones.

European banks have failed to compete for investment opportunities. Negative rates push that onus back onto savers.

That seems like a semantic distinction only. Extolling the benefits of something is not advocacy, at least not how I understand the term advocacy. Advocacy means representing a normative view of what ought to be the case, and suggesting that others should take certain actions. It necessarily requires an aspect of asserting a moral stance about the rightness or wrongness of adopting or failing to adopt certain actions.

The economy is hardly white-hot, especially for people below the top decile or so – the median American worker made 5% LESS in 2018 than in 1979 (https://fas.org/sgp/crs/misc/R45090.pdf) – so I’d be surprised if this wasn’t basic economics: for a long time, leather was a premium good and cost more, so companies focused on using less of it and the large fraction of consumers who favor low prices rewarded them for it. It’s easy to hit a threshold where cutting the remaining usage entirely is a good marketing move since it removes a type of material from your system and attracts buyers who avoid animal products.

Prices may be low but they’d have to stay lower than the equivalent synthetics for a long time to get manufacturers to invest in redesigning and changing their supply chains.

> they ultimately reflect the political will of the people

That requires some proof. The German public loves to save, the German state doesn't. The German public hates bailouts with tax money, the German state loves them. Germany isn't a good example for "individual interests form policy".

> Even the leftist parties in Germany don't drift far from this orthodoxy.

Why would they, leftist parties love generous state spending and high debt. The somewhat surprising part in Germany is that the conservatives love spending and hate saving, too.
