>Alternate day fasting (ADF) is a subtype of intermittent fasting and is defined as a continuous sequence of a fast day (100% energy restriction, zero calories) and a feed day (ad libitum food consumption), resulting in roughly 36-h fasting periods.

I'm interested. So on fasting days you consume water and absolutely nothing else? Or maybe tea or black coffee? I suppose there are some other zero calorie things that can be consumed, but I am betting that zero calorie sugar substitutes could be problematic because they can still cause an insulin response.

[Edit] here it is, I guessed right about the diet drinks.

>ADF group: Subjects are asked to refrain from eating on the fast days and to eat ad libitum on the days between the fast days. On fasting days, subjects are only allowed to consume water, flavoured carbonated water, unsweetened tea or coffee. Furthermore, diet sodas or so called “calorie-free” meals or beverages are restricted.

Two reasons it shouldn’t sound crazy:

1. Just grammatically, managers need some verb to use. If he said “I managed Engineering,” it would be really difficult to argue that isn’t what an engineering manager does. But good managers lead, so they prefer the word lead over manage, even though the meaning in context is quite similar.

2. You seem to be implying that managers suck and don’t know anything about engineering, so how could they claim leadership?

Speaking from my career path, most eng managers come out of engineering and are pretty technical. At Atlassian (where I’m a front-line Engineering Manager), you have to earn your way to Senior Engineer before you can join the management track, and the managers for several steps up the ladder are accountable for technical outcomes.

It’s very common in our office for the front line managers (aka Team Leads) to lead whiteboarding and pair a lot during the early phases of a project to make sure it’s built on a sound design, and to be similarly involved throughout projects to ensure they’re tracking to completion on schedule and hitting our quality bar.

My understanding is Stripe works very similarly. So, yeah, I buy that he “led” engineering teams there.

Trying to solve this through purely technical means is futile. If you block it at the user-agent, sites will share data at the back-end to create a super-profile.

Right now it's really convenient for advertisers to run an ad auction right in the user's web browser because all the context is there -- take that away and you'll see user data aggregated on the back-end instead.

Absent some type of regulation and enforcement, I really don't see how this puts a dent in the "reads a lot of articles on NY times about dogs, sees a lot of ads on cnn.com for dog food" profile aggregation.

Having thought about this issue a lot previously, I think it's important to not overgeneralize based on vague value statements.

Optimism can possibly mean anything from not blocking new initiatives through year-long corporate approval processes to cult-like you-have-to-drink-our-kool-aid internal communication that shuts down any and all critical voices and oversells what a company is doing and where it is currently at even to their own employees internally.

For me personally, optimism is a good thing when it means not taking issues as set in stone, genuinely believing that the future will be better than now and that one has some amount of control over that, and trying things out that might not work instantly - all while retaining one's critical thinking and being honest about the facts.

I have never met anyone who works at stripe or heard an inside take, but from the interviews with the founders I've heard, they don't strike me as the kind of people to push the delusional kind of "optimism" and shut down critical voices.

It’s interesting, under your definition whether something is vegan depends on who is making it.

If your family just happens to make a 4-bean salad without meat, then for you that’s omnivorous.

If I make the exact same salad, but my family growing up typically would have put bacon in it, then that same salad becomes “vegan food” because for me it’s a contrivance.

It’s a relativistic definition of what’s vegan and what’s not.
What Killed Smalltalk Could Kill Ruby, Too (2009)
I won't deny that there is some regional variability in the carbon intensity of energy systems. As mentioned elsewhere, France uses nuclear power to run nuclear fuel enrichment and reprocessing services, where some places in the US use coal. Thus, nuclear in France is lower-carbon than nuclear in the USA.

Given that increasing nuclear's share would proportionally decrease nuclear's carbon intensity, and that nuclear at worst is ~10x less carbon-intense than the current average energy mix, I say it's OK to use the median values from that table for basic energy system comparison purposes.

Note also that utility PV max is 180, and hydro max is 2200 (2x coal's median!) because of uncertainties in biogenic methane. So if we compare the max of each in this table, we make roughly the same energy system decisions as if we compare the median (again, except for hydro, which we'd have to phase out rapidly if that max is realistic).
You refer to this as the "Walmart" strategy, but I don't think that's a standard interpretation of Walmart's strategy. From what I can tell, Walmart is more focussed on the long term, contracting with supplies in ways that allow them to keep prices low enough to prevent competitors from ever entering the market. Can you find any examples of Walmart actually following the strategy you suggest?
I bet with a bit of engineering it could be pretty flexible. You could have a folder containing modules and then folders in there for submodules. You could then get JS to pick out specific modules and submodules on specific pages.

There would be a lot involved and probably wouldn't be worth the effort when more dynamic solutions are already out there, but I think it would be doable.
How’s the one the article mentions?

> A pair-instability supernova happens when the core grows so hot that light begins to spontaneously convert into electron-positron pairs. The light’s radiation pressure had kept the star’s core intact; when the light transforms into matter, the resulting pressure drop causes the core to rapidly shrink and become even hotter, further accelerating pair production and causing a runaway effect. Eventually the core gets so hot that oxygen ignites. This fully reverses the core’s implosion, so that it explodes instead. For cores with a mass between about 65 and 130 times that of our sun (according to current estimates), the star is completely obliterated. Cores between about 50 and 65 solar masses pulsate, shedding mass in a series of explosions until they drop below the range where pair instability occurs. Thus there should be no black holes with masses in the 50-to-130-solar-mass range.

People who visited my site don't seem to understand my idea.

Also, people who signed up don't understand how to use the app (like how to complete a course or how to apply for a task)

So, how can I explain my idea more clearly to visitors and how do I inform my users on how to use my app.

Except there's a stubborn minority on the other end - people who want a meat offering. There are a good number of people who actually want to eat meat, and there are a few who don't want to go places without it. I feel like this will somewhat bound the growth of restaurants with only these options, though those with veggie alternatives can still grow. Not every one is okay with just rabbit food, though.

>The company responsible would also have a clear incentive to alter/destroy any damning evidence gathered in telemetry.

Not saying it doesn't happen. But now you've gone from a product liability case which rarely has individual criminal consequences to actions that clearly do.

If/when we get to this point, it will be "interesting" though. Outside of maybe the medical area, there aren't many examples of consumer-facing products that, when used as directed, kill people because sometimes "stuff happens." And people generally understand that's just the way it is.

It's not out of the realm of possibility to imagine government-approved autonomous driving systems that insulate everyone involved from liability so long as they're used and maintained as directed. See e.g. National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program. I'm not sure it's likely but it might become a possibility if manufacturers find they're too exposed.

You're absolutely correct, and that distinction is why the problem is so hard to solve algorithmically. The addition of the angle, "never ask the user to categorize something, always intuit it", is what makes this a hard problem.

Most places have a far wider, and more creative set of vegetarian and vegan options than only a decade ago. Indian takeaways have had the wider range far longer, of course.

Not that TFA mentioned either, but semi- seems a helpful shorthand to me, to describe changing habits, as we increasingly don't want meat every meal. Even if most people choosing those meals probably never think to describe themselves as semi-vegan yet. :)
> A better idea would to put a public key on each gold bar so that anyone can verify the authenticity

Specifically:

- Each gold bar has a unique ID, on the bar

- A digital signature is made with the private key

- The digital signature is placed on the bar

- Everyone has to "know" which public key belongs to who

(If you put the public key on the bar, then the criminals will just generate their own keys or copy someone else's key.)

I agree in the sense that small problems which have technical solutions should be pointed out and overcome. However, in later-stage startups and in larger companies, trying to change the direction might not be the wise thing to do. This highly depends on your position, but as an individual contributor and even as someone in the lower management lane (manager, director), your job most of the time is implementing the CEO's vision, whatever that is. If you find yourself disagreeing with that vision, it might be best to change jobs.[1]

In smaller startups, where you might be able to steer more aggressively, you should still ask yourself whether the company is clearly in the wrong direction only from your perspective or if there are factors which you don't have any insight into (no matter how close you are to founder(s)) which would re-contextualize the issue.

Not disagreeing, but these are some caveats which I found useful to keep in mind.

So the police requests access to the footage for a specific time, the homeowner has to agree to it, and then Amazon/Ring hands it over? If the homeowner declines, then the neighbor agrees, the police can still (most likely) see what they were trying to see. This has got some creepy implications that basically means the more of these Ring cameras are out there, the more power the police has in terms of surveillance. The homeowner's permission is completely useless since there are likely other homeowners in the area that will agree.
It's not really random citizens that have the footage though, it's Google. I don't want to slippery slope too far, but we've been shown time and time again that data in private hands is essentially also in government hands. You only have to look back at whisleblowers/leaks in the past decade to see that this is true. Worse yet, with techniques like parallel construction, it could be many, many years until you know the truth.
In my experience, it is easier to automate a workflow using command line applications. The GUI versions of tools have to try and predict every possible workflow, while terminal applications can be easily combined in scripts.
