I had a very similar experience doing this too. Lost about 21kg in 2-3 months and went from 98kg to 77 kg in 3 months which is a lot for a guy who is 5'7. 16/8 IF(Intermittent fasting) , mostly plant based and one day was a cheat day.Didn't exersise at all for the majority of that period and even when I did the intensity wasn't high enough to put a dent in caloric deficit coming for eating less.

I did this 5 years ago and am still doing it and haven't gained my weight back. But I'll say that retaining my weight is harder now.I was 22 when I did that and stabilized at 71/72 kg for couple of years but now at 27 I am stable at 76/77 kg.Although exercising more and maybe having gained some muscle mass might account for that extra weight.My body fat percentage (assessing only visually) seems lowest than it has ever been.

I like this method. I think there’s something about IRC that’s just hard enough to use that it filters out a lot of people.

If you described IRC to me, I wouldn’t think it would work. But almost 30 years later, I’m still using it. I think it’s another example of how protocols are better than apps for sustainability and true “value,” as opposed to fundraising.
The SO guidelines are that voting is about the question, not about the author. Everyone who has a rant about SO shows that is not universally agreed on, to say the least. But for you to say "people should be kinder and more empathic", for downvoting within the rules of the site, while you go on a rant calling people unwelcoming snarky abrasive asses, is amusingly hatey.
Because writers invest time into using the right words especially since they're going to be published somewhere. You can surely see the difference between this and texting, which is supposed to be quick.

There's no amino acid provided by meats that you can't get from plants. Soy is a complete protein.

Now, to be fair, soy _does_ have a low level of tryptophan. Leafy greens are the best way to boost that, if that's your concern.

Why not? I mean why reject it a priori?

Who said it will be difficult after the first few months? And what if it has beneficial properties?
> You also have to fill the card to begin with.

Any bank card works, so does Apple/Android pay. Even the prepaid card can be purchased from a self-service machine in less than a minute and topped up via an app.

> There are surely existing regional taxes.

The only broadly administered regional tax in the UK is the council tax. This only covers property owners. There is no other regional taxation - certainly not one that is broader. You also vastly underestimate the public opposition to taxes versus fare increases.

> Professionals working in the inner city don't pay different transit fares than janitors working in the inner city. ...and you don't want a pricing signal...

People pay different rates based on how close to the centre they commute to. Typically professionals commute further because the white collar jobs are located in the centre, blue collar workers on the other hand tend look for work close to where they live and are more likely to travel outside of peak hours.

As for the price signal, it plays a hugely important part. It enables fares to change depending on demand in order to spread out congestion rather than having everyone commute at rush hour (infrastructure cannot support unlimited travellers and public transport is most certainly a scarce resource that requires rationing). The price signal also provides a strong incentive to cycle/walk by imposing a marginal cost on each journey. This incentive would be completely lost if you'd already been taxed, leading to over-consumption and environmental costs.

Your plan would also mean that residents would effectively subsidise the travel of all outsiders - which for cities like London (which get huge amounts of tourists and external commuters) would impose an unfair cost on the residents.
I think it's best to say it the way they did. It's one thing to be faster per dollar but it's another thing for to win on performance as well.

From single core to same number of cores to having more cores the 7742 wins in each case and still comes out on top. That's far more amazing than being 5x cheaper. Everyone has known Intel has charged an outrageous premium for a long time but it was also the best so people dealt with it.
I too do this daily.
Wish HN had a similar thing. Downvotes can mean a bunch of things, including:

1. "This isn't welcome here." Should be flagged instead, and often is.

2. "This is factually incorrect but I won't comment as to why." I view this as lazy at best, and giving cover to #3 at worst.

3. "I disagree with this." Frankly this is the worst use of the downvote. If you disagree, say why (respectfully)!

Tags in Stack Overflow are pretty common (while they're not here) so I'd expect this approach to work better over there (first).

Quite happy to see entropic gravity discussed here. One thing I really like about EG is that it ought to be very testable. For example, there are a few observations of very diffuse galaxies that exhibit very little if any dark matter behavoir. These represent a direct challenge to EG, as gravity ought to emerge from any concentration of mass, whereas under DM we can say there simply aren't any DM particles there (of course why this is the case is still very important).

Similarly, with EG there should be testable pedictions at smaller scales. Microscopically under EG, there should be no gravity ever between fundamental particles, no matter how massive, for the same reason that a single atom cannot be warm.
IF is great, and it's something that doesn't take that long to get used to (I'm rarely hungry). I follow a similar fasting time period 12-8 or 9 depending on my schedule that day. I workout everyday when I wake up (and sometimes again at night) and always have plenty of energy. I'm also not very strict on my diet other than mostly avoiding sugar. I lean towards meat and veggies with every meal, but am not militant about passing up a good tasting carb.

I ended up losing ~15 pounds over 9 months w/o weight loss even being the goal.

Peter Attia has discussed fasting for cancer patients (and pre-surgery) on his podcast multiple times. He posited that it could have positive effects on patients, but understands how long it takes existing dogma to shift. It's great news this study was done and will hopefully lead to more research.
In case of post on meta, the downvotes means "I disagree with this proposal", not that the question isn't good.

> its useful to be able to break down complex queries into parts, step through with a debugger to follow the logic, don't see how the functional style of Lisp aids in doing any of that

In Clojure normally rather than a step debugger one would use an editor with REPL integration to aid in exploring and developing program behavior. E.g. you may capture inputs to the function, and then quickly and iteratively decompose the function and evaluate the building blocks. This type of workflow is often called REPL-driven development.
Instead of not providing reasons you don't agree with, it would be better UI to provide them but if selected deny the action with an explanation.

I think I saw this done on TripleByte's website during the sign-up process where they filter applications outside of the US (and a few other criteria) with an explanation and a promise that they were trying to fix this.

That form of UI is unusual but very friendly.
At 7,500 calories per kg you would therefore lose 82,500 calories in one month to lose 11kg. Assuming a generous 31 day month this is 2,661 calories per day. Therefore the required caloric deficit for the day is larger than the total calorie intake meaning no calories would have to consumed to achieve this weight loss.

So how could this have been achieved? It could partly be inaccuracies in weighing, difference in body weight from food contents in digestive tract, water contents etc. The alternative is an increased energy expenditure which could partly account for it.
Of note, generally consuming less than 1200 calories a day regularly is thought to be harmful on the basis that it is difficult to get minimum necessary nutrients in this time.

If I have made a mistake in my calculations, someone let me know.
It seems obvious in hindsight. Inuit can travel 100km a day in an ocean-going kayak. It would be incredible if historically they didn't ever think of going down the coast to see what was there.

Not advising you should take that much of course. Or even suggesting you take it again. Just saying if you feel like it, you can up the dose a quite a bit, put a blindfold in a cozy bed in a safe and quiet room, and the result may differ.

I haven't used SO in a while, and one of the reasons I abandoned it was because all it took was for one malfeasant to tick the downvote button on my questions without providing a reason why and nobody would take my question seriously. It seems like everyone just assumed that a question with a -1 vote wasn't worth addressing.
No offence taken :-)

I'm not a professional, and I didn't track anything except my body measurements and weight during this process so I don't know exactly where all the results came from. I wasn't chugging bottles of Coca-Cola, but I was having processed sugar in my multiple cups of coffee every day.

As for calorie counting, my research indicated that calorie counting is a myth (see The Obesity Code by Dr. Jason Fung). Certainly, I always struggled with a calorie-restricted diet, so I knew that if I always felt hungry, anything I did wouldn't work. I know it sounds odd but during the 16 hours I am fasting, I just don't feel that hungry. If I feel a little hungry I just drink some water and I feel fine.

I think the key was satisfying the ghrelin by eating as much as I liked during my 8-hour feeding window. I know it sounds crazy that you can eat as much as you like and still loose weight but it happened.
People deleting questions after they have been answered is one of the reasons I stopped contributing. It's so energy draining to take the time and explain something to somebody and do it in a way that others with the same problem can understand & apply it as well only for them to delete the question for some reason.
> all of the salespeople have little stickers to take credit for when they help a customer find something

I was in Fry's recently and they seemed to do the same thing. After asking for some help they asked me to print a "quote," which meant printing out a receipt at a kiosk on the sales floor with their name. They pulled it up when I checked out. I kind of understood what they were doing, but the process seemed a bit awkward--especially when my question was more along the lines of, "Do you have more stock in the back? When you do you think you'll have more?"

Yes, 20 cents is astronomical.

I'm assuming the parent was referring to something more similar to like when you need to go to the bathroom. Overall the urge is there, but on an hourly basis it comes and goes. If you don't go to the bathroom and hold it in, after an hour you'll probably forget about it, and then it'll come back a few hours after that. This has been my experience with fasting where I'll get really hunger, then my body will get over it, then a few hours later I'm hungry again.

Seems like it's your body going through cycles of burning fat stores or something. Like oh you're not going to eat? Better start burning a bit of fat to tide us over, then that energy runs out and that's when hunger strikes again until your body goes through another breakdown cycle.

> I wish I could see one for myself, as I wish I could see the Virgin Mary floating above the yellow roses in my backyard. When I said this to my neighbor, who runs a blog called I Saw One Too, he shook his head sadly and said, “No you don’t. You really don’t.”

The one time I thought I was seeing something unexplainable out on the highway at night (thankfully revealed, after ten minutes or so, to be the oddest atmospheric occlusion of the moon I’ve ever seen), the one thought on my mind was “man, I really don’t want to be one of those people who’s seen a UFO.”
I might have misunderstood what you meant, but it seems like you're saying his problem is that the required deficit to lose that amount of weight in that time is more than a typical daily intake?

If that's the case, it could just mean that his starting intake level was 2*(that deficit), for example. Lots of people just overeat. Apologies if that's not what you meant though.
Well, the accepted answer means that the solution proposed worked for the asker, then there are the votes and comments to evaluate whether or not this is a good answer.
FYI: Some (most?) sites on the StackExchange network don't have this culture of violent downvoting and put-downs. Instead, the veterans use comments which are mostly constructive, and are much more likely to reward newbie efforts with upvotes.
I’m the same and it’s a lot better since they added reactions to messages.

If there are a lot of messages, I scroll straight to the bottom of the page, then slowly scroll up until I find a message with lots of thumb up or checkmark emoji reactions.

> I never expected the mental benefits to be so pronounced. Indeed it is fair to say it has had a nootropic effect.

People can define normal how they want, but if you were eating lots of refined products, I suggest considering the way you are now as normal and that those products were making you sick.

I had to look up nootropic. To say fruits and vegetables act like "drugs, supplements, and other substances that may improve cognitive function, particularly executive functions, memory, creativity, or motivation, in healthy individuals" (quoting Wikipedia) suggests how much those products hurt you.

Maybe I'm a minority, but I don't consider fruits and vegetables drugs or supplements. I don't consider my memory and cognitive skills when I eat them enhanced. That's regular life. It sounds like life before was suffering and I don't know how else to say the opposite of "improved cognition function" other than dumber.

Glad to see you post-change. Were the refined products worth it?

Because their income is discounted, they are more likely to receive social assistance and they send money abroad, in the short-medium term their economic effect is similar to offshoring.

Long term, they bring their family over, raise families in the host country, get better jobs and integrate (culturally and economically) so the offshoring effect disappears.

The main problem is, especially concerning the rise of populism, when the short term effects become too severe, the long term outcomes don't matter to those who have been affected by lowering wages during their working years. And it's not every industry, perhaps not even a majority who are affected, but for those who are, they feel as though their social contract has been broken, and they vote for whoever promises to fix it.

This forum is mostly IT workers. For awhile, wages in this sector in the US were suppressed by things like cartels and H1B visas, and subsequently action was taken to enforce proper employment laws and increase the wage requirements for H1Bs. That was 1 sector, not even that much immigration, and wages showed a noticeable dip. People here were outraged too, but it was before the Trump years so the whole conversation had a different tone.

Anyhow, I don't think immigration is bad, but there are pros and cons, different effects on the economy and people, and these definitely need to be accounted for.

It's _very_ strange that my comment above was flagged, while the comment it replied to was not.

I didn't say "I don't like Elon because he's a big stinky doodoo head", I gave legitimate missteps he and his company have made, some of which came at the cost of human life.

And it wasn't non-sequitur, I am replying to a comment about his detractors and thought it plenty fair to show my rationale for being one of them

If anything the comment it's replying to attempts to denigrate a large group of people in the hand-waviest way possible. I mean "they have the same blocklists on Twitter", really? This is the level of discourse that's acceptable while my comment is somehow unacceptable?

And to be clear, I don't think any comment in this thread should be flagged, it's silly the parent post to that comment is also flagged. People often say "We're all adults" to imply somehow no negative commentary should exist. To me "We're all adults" means we should all be capable of reading a comment with a negative tone without having a meltdown. Especially if the negatively toned comment has actual objective content.
