That works the other way too -- if you can increase your metabolism you can lose weight without eating less.

Strength training is one way to do that for example -- more muscles, more food burned just by sitting there.

Getting back to the perfect analogy with debt -- you can spend more or less money and control your debt that way, or you could make more, or a combination of the two. Which way is likely more effective in your case is what varies.

Saying that controlling debt is as simple as spending less than you make is both true and too general to be useful.
> Unfortunately, it doesn't work quite the same way in international diplomacy.

However, the "traditional" way doesn't work either. Case in point: EU puts tariffs on a wide variety of US goods -- tariffs that have been in effect for decades. The EU, even before Trump, charged a 10% tariff on US cars, while the US only charged a 2.5% tariff on European cars. The EU taxed US apples at 17%, grapes at 20%. Clothing, and all sort of other products are and were heavily taxed. California and other American wines are taxed at double the rate of EU wines entering the United States.

"Trump invented tariffs" is the the current media narrative, but it's not even close to being true. The EU taxes the hell of US goods. Try to ship a spare part of a child's stroller from the US. I paid a $40 tax for a part that cost me $25. Duties, tariffs and other taxes are oppressive and the US should fight back. If the EU doesn't want tariffs -- they can eliminate the taxes they've historically put on US products. But they only complain now because Trump is trying to play their own protectionist game.

So Trumps's "real estate" approach is a pretty novel one -- and one that has actually forced the EU to negotiate in good faith, unlike the decades were US products were taxed unfairly. The EU has tariffs on almost everything -- I'm not sure why Trump is the bad guy in a trade war here. Trump is just the first president to actually stand up to the EU when it comes to trade.

Why the hell the EU can get away with decades of tariffs and doing things like subsidizing Airbus illegally[1] is beyond me. Trump is the "bad guy" because he actually cares about American interests before those of the EU? How crazy. The EU member leaders are welcome to look after the best interests of their countries as well. There's nothing radical about that.

While I agree with you that this is not a major effect, it is an effect nonetheless and it's due to changes in hormones. Dr Fung has a blog where he discusses it using an analogy https://idmprogram.com/how-to-control-the-body-weight-thermo....

I'm not the OP, but I'm also not convinced that the set point exists. Regardless, fasting is a better way of losing weight than caloric restriction IMO since it lowers insulin, but to each their own. Either way, the laws of thermodynamics haven't changed, it's just how your body responds, and we're all unique in that sense. Whatever works for people, so long as they're losing weight if they're obese or overweight.

If I had to make a guess the users comment aims at the American system where a privatisation of religion in combination with unrestricted free religious speech has mostly let to radicalisation.

The alternative would be models like the UK, Germany or Denmark, where although churches have state representation, the reverse is also true and the state has effectively securalised and reigned religious institutions in.
Good point about others (not wearing headsets) not being able to see your face properly. I hadn't considered that.
The goal of DevOps is to get code as developed to testing, staging, production. The deeper objective should be transfer of context- what is being deployed? do we know how? does it work as tested? and the who. As much DRY to reduce surprises and increase precision all through dev to deploy cycle.

Some of the best open source projects have CI included- thats the right approach to DevOps -- its not an alien, bolt-on after the fact practice, its code that takes care of code.

>The thing is FB is not fact checking leftist videos the same way they were doing with the right.

Can you please provide data that supports this statement?

>Untrue facts about guns for example are never pointed out.

Using absolutes such as "never" in a statement like that can often be a bit of a stretch. Like my last question, do you have proof that Facebook has never fact-checked a single gun video?
This. I have started exercising a lot (6 times a week, with a trainer) and I have only gained weight (both muscles and fat).

Turns out there is a consensus that exercise is the best thing you can do for yourself. It will do wonder on many aspects, but it won't make you thinner.

Eating less will.

A couple of years earlier, I did some small changes to my alimentation :

- always have an healthy breakfast (instead of just drinking a coffee). I generally cook some muesli. It is delicious and I can use one batch for almost a week.

- control the quantities I eat. I was brought up to always finish my plate. It is polite and in theory it avoids waste. But in practice I have been eating too much just in order to finish some arbitrary plates (I was buying lunch around work these days, no control over the portions). I decided to just stop eating once I had enough.

With these 2 small changes, I lost 15 kgs (from 84 to 69 kgs for 1.90m).

Now that I work out, I am back at 77 kgs, but a way healthier one (and there is still some progress to be made, both in building muscle and losing fat).

The whole "exercise so you can continue to drink coke, have burgers, etc" sounds a lot like companies wanting you to do everything but what would hurt their bottom margins.
Abortion was long considered a settled issue due to the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision many years ago. However, a lot of attention has been directed at the current court, which has insinuated that they're interested in overturning the ruling, which would be chaotic and deeply controversial.
> I only know the 150 range to be for deep sea oil guys.

I've read about these "saturation divers". Guys that go down inside a diving bell for weeks at a time and breath a mix of helium. Only highly skilled divers can do this (ie, lots of experience), and if I remember correctly, have to stop by age 40(ish). So there's this narrow window of time where they can make that kind of money. But these guys could make $175-$200k.

Obviously this is a tiny, tiny fraction of welders for only a portion of there career. I just found it really fascinating how the whole process works. Living down there for days or weeks at a time.
If flipping the table over never produces a net positive result, it never becomes an acceptable action.

I'm having trouble imagining what positive result could come out of this that outweighs the downside of fracturing the global postal system.
> However forcing someone to carry a baby to term is also morally problematic

There are plenty of pro-choice arguments, but this is not a very good one.

Coercion is often justifiably used when lives are at stake. For example, the government might "force" sick people in a quarantine given an epidemic outbreak. What you want to show is that the fetus is not a person and, therefore, doesn't have the same rights as the mother. This is difficult, but not impossible -- although there are some concessions that need to be made along the way.

Is Trump and his group declared anti-abortion? Would this gain more votes the one lost?

I was thinking that our politicians would use a technique to say or do something controversial at convenient time so all media and public would be distracted from the actual thing happening. This smells like such a thing but it is probably what you said;
Why the founder of Apache is all-in on blockchain
Unborn babies are always biologically distinguishable from babies that are already born. Unborn babies haven't yet taken a breath, have not been exposed to light, and still gather nutrients from the placenta. Inflation of the lungs happens immediately after birth, among a cascade of other events that happen quickly following birth, clearly distinguishing an unborn baby from a born baby.
Not to mention the psychological trauma of carrying a child that can be "safely" birthed but will immediately begin a slow, painful death after leaving the womb. This is the typical case for most so-called "late term abortions" that everyone clutches their pearls over.

Anyway, I find people's thinking around the morals of abortion to be quite fluid . The termination rate of pregnancies with chromosomal abnormalities far exceeds the percentage of people who identify as "pro choice" and cannot be explained simply by pro-choice people being more prone to fetuses with such conditions.
I think all berdon is trying to say by "not simple physics" is that even though CICO is true, it's not helpful to people trying to lose weight because there are many other conditions (e.g. a virus) that can affect the body's metabolism - to a limited extent. This particular virus seems to make you fatter even on a precise calorie controlled diet, which implies it must reduce your metabolism.

For the record I disagree with this - I think CICO is a helpful way to think about weight loss, because it implies that if you aren't losing weight on a calorie controlled diet, you simply haven't cut enough. (Though serious problems might be indicative of some medical condition, in which case you should consult a doctor to see if it can be alleviated to make CICO easier.)
> Your inflammatory pseudo-counter-argument doesn't change the fact that abortion in cases of non-life-threatening births remains morally problematic.

Says the person who has the need to argue about what women can and can't do with their bodies while not having a uterus himself.
Part of the issue with fact checkers is how charitably they are interpreting the words. For example:

Weather Reporter: The sun will rise at 6 AM Tomorrow

Fact Checker: False. The language talking about sun rise is implying that the sun rotates around the earth, and that has been known to astronomers to be false for centuries.

In her video, Lila Rose is saying that abortion as defined as intentionally killing the fetus is not medically necessary.

From the captions on the video: "Now, you could perhaps do an early delivery if she's experiencing or she has a very severe condition that you need to deliver that baby early, but in that situation you don't go in with a needle or forceps to destroy that baby before birth. You give that baby a fighting chance, and that is not an abortion."

She is saying that the baby may die as a consequence of early delivery, but the goal is early delivery, not the destruction of the baby.

Fact check says "Certain medical conditions such as placenta previa and HELLP syndrome can make abortion a necessary medical procedure in order to prevent
the mother's death."

My guess that Lila's response would be that that it is the early delivery that is saving the mother's life, not the abortion. The mother's life would still be saved if the baby survives through appropriate medical care.

I don't know if Lila is Catholic, but a lot of her reasoning seems to fall under the "Principle of Double Effect."

http://sites.saintmarys.edu/~incandel/doubleeffect.html

"Classical formulations of the principle of double effect require that four conditions be met if the action in question is to be morally permissible: first, that the action contemplated be in itself either morally good or morally indifferent; second, that the bad result not be directly intended; third, that the good result not be a direct causal result of the bad result; and fourth, that the good result be "proportionate to" the bad result. Supporters of the principle argue that, in situations of "double effect" where all these conditions are met, the action under consideration is morally permissible despite the bad result."

The argument is that doing a delivery with intention to save the mother's life is good, even if it has the consequence that the fetus dies, since the death of the fetus was not the intention, and thus would not be called an abortion, since the fetal death was a secondary effect and not the primary intended effect.

The issue with the fact check is that the fact-checkers were so eager to label something they disagreed with as false, that they did not appreciate the nuance.
IMHO no newspaper is independent. Each has an owner that most of the times has a political agenda they try to push. So the best strategy is to read most prominent ones from different countries and create your own conclusion.

But if I had to trust one, I guess it would be a The Guardian or DW(Deutsche Welle).

DW is particularly interesting as every household in Germany has to pay a radio free(~17 Euros per month) that also in part supports DW(Along with their documentary series which as far as I can see don't hesitate to criticise the government or BND(secret service)).

It is not a tax and as a result the German Government would have a hard time pushing its agenda to it.

> This is pseudoscientific garbage.

This seems unnecessary. The rest of your comment does not support this assertion. And it's inflammatory, which is contrary to the HN guidelines.

To this point:

> There is also definitely nothing magic that happens at the 6 month mark and the absurdity of this should be enough to make it clear that this is garbage.

There doesn't have to be anything magical. I would have to read the book to be sure, but pretty sure 6 months describes the general point at which the continuous process fades into noise. Nothing about the body has an on/off switch, but that doesn't mean we can't describe biological processes in general terms.
This harkens to some of the points some other commenters have made in this thread. Earning $7/hour in 1970 for a welding job is equivalent of $95k/year in 2019 money.

Similarly, getting a start and sticking it out is just as difficult for women today as it was in the pre-war era. The post war period has been ingrained as the normal baseline in our collective imaginations, though it is anything but normal.

I am willing to wager that Rosie the Riveter isn't the norm for the US and if she or your aunt was trying to make it as a welder, they both will not find the supportive environment that existed post-war
Most (many?) leftists don't support banning guns by the way. At the very least it's widely debated on the left. The term you're looking for is "liberal" or Democrat.

People can’t agree what devops is, sure. But I feel like it’s extremely easy to tell what devops isn’t. If you don’t have any confidence in your releases before you’ve done extensive ad-hoc manual probing you aren’t doing devops. If your using oracle and Delphi even though none of the developers would chose it because “that’s what management decided” you are not doing devops.

The rest of the story is just about the tooling and management decisions that support getting out of those pits. You use micro services because it allows developers to use whichever tools they want as long as they solve the task. You use automated tests and deployment pipelines so the team and organizational procedure to be confident in releases shifts from becoming “talk to Tom and get his blessing after he’s spend a week probing everything” to “well if it passed all tests and deployed then it’s a go.

It’s not like the technical issues suddenly disappear. You need to set up your tests to a level where you are confident in the pipeline. You still need to spend the time and resources making sure your microservice infrastructure is working.

But at the end of it you’ve removed the power of the gits who where previously controlling the techs allowed and the releases, and your letting teams move forwards through proving their work rather than constant audiences with individuals who are gatekeepers because they spend 20 years in the same organization and feel that everything invented in the last decade is scary.

Considering their population has already stopped growing and will start to shrink starting in ~10 years and the US has population growth projected through at least 2050, I don't think that outcome is likely.

Heidegger's mysticism has been critic from a number of angles over the years. Theador Adorno's The Jargon Of Authenticity attacked him from a Marxist and so "continental" perspective.

It's notable that Heidegger isn't simply "continental" but specifically taken to be within the "existentialist" branch of philosophy and thus he's been critiqued (and taken up) by a variety of other perspectives.
For what it's worth, with my account logged in to Google geolocated in India, my results are almost the same except BBC and Guardian instead of CBS and NPR. This is for Google Search, not Google News, as the other commenter pointed out.
Good point about the thermal/night vision thing. We effectively do this already with nightvision goggles. It'd be super amazing to use pass-through stereographic ultrasound images for diving in murky waters (or smoke?). A potential game changer in some instances.

Imagine directly overlaying a "4D" ultrasound in realtime with careful sensor position registration... it'd make all manner of medical procedures a lot clearer. You could immediately see what way a baby was turned (without training, even), for instance. I guess in those cases, you wouldn't even need conceptually seemless immersion, just precise enough for eye-hand coordination.

My old man taught wood shop in a high school. Year after year, there was less and less demand/attendance. To stay securely employed, as he was getting closer to retirement he pivoted over to teaching drafting and then CAD which had tons of interest and were supported by administration. By the time he retired the wood and metal shop classes were gone for good. Pretty sad and worrying to think that since then an entire generation has gone through that school with no opportunity to learn how to actually make a physical good with their hands. We have YouTube now if we want to learn, and it’s a great resource, but it’s hard not to think something has been lost.

> I am not from US so can someone explain why the antiabortion thing seem rise in this last year?

There has been a shift in the Supreme Court with the appointments under Trump, particularly the replacement of Justice Kennedy, widely regarded as having been the “swing” vote on the issue, which makes it widely perceived to be more likely that existing precedent sharply limiting permissible government restrictions on abortion would be struck down, should a case involving the issue reach the Supreme Court.

Consequently, many state legislatures that are dominated by the faction opposed to abortion are implementing sharp restrictions on abortion in state law in an effort to get sued over them, get the case to the Supreme Court, and have the existing abortion rights regime abolished.

There's some more, but that's the single biggest factor.
