This has always bothered me about these claims.

Is 'ultraprocessed' a matter of physical processing? Chemical? Or is it actually about superstimuli, which may or may not actually experience a lot of processing? Cheese is a great example: all cheese is chemically processed milk, pasteurized cheese is also heat treated, aged cheese has more chemical changes, and finally "processed" cheese is also emulsified. Where's the line?

The article gives us "industrial food formulations made up mostly or entirely of ingredients... that are not found in a similar form and combination in nature." So a wedge of aged Parmesan is clearly ultraprocessed - even the natural lactose is gone! Somehow, I don't think that's what they're blaming obesity on.

It also references "frosted snack cakes and ready-to-eat meals from the supermarket freezer", which is one of the least helpful examples I've ever seen. Frosted snake cakes probably date back a few hundred years, but this obviously means to include Ho-Hos and exclude what you'd get at a tea shop. Ready-to-eat stir-fry can be normal stir-fry tossed in the freezer, perhaps with a stabilizer to sell it in stores. Or you could have a TV dinner with chicken nuggets, fitting exactly the same description.

The study described is interesting, and does control for some suspects like energy density. But "ultraprocessed" is not a chemical, or even a defined term. It's hard to see this as anything but preliminary work showing that there's a problem somewhere in a large set of foods, which now needs to be narrowed down.

>Having a critical mass of uninsured people is the foundation we need to resolve the healthcare crisis in America.

Thats actually exactly what I think the thought is for most people who advocate this...remove employer provided insurance and there will be so many uninsured that someone will have to do something. I think the hope is that something would be "Universal single payer healthcare coverage."

That may be right, but we already had 50 million uninsured american's and Obamacare barely passed and was pretty insurance friendly. I just don't see the political will to get it done, then we are just stuck with 40% of the currently insured uninsured.

For example on a computer you can use algorithms like lrzip, which search for very long distance redundancies (i.e. not in small data windows like traditional algorithms). This usually achieves a decent compression even on normally incompressible files, e.g. on collections of movies or on collections of PDF files, because it may find repetitions at least e.g. in the headers of the files or of the file sections. If there are similar files, then there are chances that lrzip will find repetitions between files, even if a traditional compression would not find repetitions inside a single file. If de-duplication is possible, then that would also be much more efficient than enabling the compression option of the tape drive.

A month ago my wife and I passed a business while on vacation to a location we frequent. She remarked "oh it looks like they closed down, that's too bad" Upon closer inspection there were in fact open, the two employees present had parked in the back, leaving a completely empty front parking lot.

The parking location is not all to blame, but at the time I remarked "the employees should really park out front to help it appears as though there are customers".

Obviously if your lot is frequently full this isn't an issue. This was in a rural location where most likely that never happens as it was a large lot, and not a business that would see surges of customers.

I would like some evidence of this. I've read and heard many people confidently pin the high cost of health care on: too much administration, greedy doctors, undocumented immigrants, over use of tests, over prescription of drugs, too much paperwork causing inefficiency, and probably others I'm forgetting. They can't all be the primary cause.

Probably. Larry Ellison always seems to find a way.
Another drawback the article doesn't mention is tight component coupling removes the ability to treat the components as separate pieces. This can make repair or upgrades extremely difficult. This might be desirable for companies against the right to repair; if it's illegal to use software to prevent repair, making it sufficiently difficult by hardware design is a possibility.
I don't really see it. Hunting for survival and social game-playing to pass the time and hang out with people are different motivators. Game playing as a social activity has existed in many different cultures throughout history. Think about the popularity of simple dice and card games as recreational social activities throughout history. Most people who played those games didn't care about the game itself, it was just something to do with people and maybe they would win and get a bit of a thrill (or some cash when a gambling element was attached).

So if the theory is that men just like games themselves, and that the social element is not a big factor in frequent game playing - then better comparison then would be to compare gambling habits between male and females. One study showed that among people with gambling problems, men were more likely to participate in sports betting, poker, and casino games - all games with a high social element and where it's possible to have a network of regulars you befriend and play with (and which in most casinos I've been to, those games have a social environment that is male-dominant). Meanwhile, women gambling addicts were more likely to be use single-player machines (poker/blackjack machines, slots) while gambling [1], which seems to indicate they are more likely addicted to the games themselves and rush of winning. I could be missing something and maybe women like go out playing with a group of friends and chat while playing - but every time I see people playing video gambling, they usually seem pretty enthralled with their machine.

But then there's also a big difference in the number of women who gamble and rate of addiction to gambling between men and women (with men more likely to play and be addicted in the first place). So again, I'm not disputing that there are differences and that some men are genuinely just obssesed with games themselves - but I do think that the social network factor and "stickiness" factor of that social network is hugely important to understanding why many guys spend such a disproportionate amount of time playing video games vs social media or other social activities, and why it's not necessarily so different from other social activities.

Yeah, it was pretty awful that you could buy a $5 item on ebay with free shipping from China. That kind of subsidy is anti-competitive. On the other hand, leaving the union all together would have been extremely disruptive to international shipping to/from the US. I'm glad a compromise was reached.
Didn't the terminal fee UPU agreement happen in 1969? China was considered a third world country back then and got favorable rates. Isn't all of this due to how in the last 50 years, the rates have not been updated to reflect how countries such as China have grown in the e-commerce era?
It is more about giving people less reasons to be annoyed with using your business.

Not quite the same as actively delighting the customers.

This is one of the little things that add up and eventually cause customers to go elsewhere, consciously or not.

I'm really skeptical of lower TCO for electric cars. My gasoline-powered car is worth $5k. All electric cars with decent range cost more in depreciation alone than my TCO. I think in a few years a Bolt will have a competitive TCO, and maybe a Model 3 will a few years after that.
>That is exactly what it means

So I can't criticize law enforcement because I'm not a LEO? I can't criticize a politician because I'm not in politics? I can't criticize a woman because I'm not female myself? I can't criticize a parrot owner because I don't own a bird? This is an absolutely ridiculous line of reasoning

>People without children have absolutely no idea what they are talking about and have no means of acquiring that knowledge except by having a child

So a male doctor can't be a gynecologist because they have "no idea what they are talking about and have no means of acquiring that knowledge except by having" female genetalia? I can't have any idea what it's like owning a parrot except by owning a bird? Again, this is absolutely absurd. Having a child does not enter you into some elite class of individuals that no one else can understand, and it's perfectly acceptable for me to criticize you despite not having children myself

> I’ve been wondering what they both share in common

confirmation bias about "feeling better"?
Yes, exactly: there were plenty of carbs available to both groups, but those with the highly processed variety ate more of those carbs than those without, suggesting that it's not the availability of the carbs but rather the degree of processing that makes the person eat more of what's available.

Though I would agree that this evidence leaves the possibility that carbs in general are less sating, but that highly processed carbs are even worse, and so the degree of processing would still be linked to weight gain.

It's not clear if that's because there's some sort of stomach-brain "signal" that's getting confused, or because highly processed foods are designed to taste maximally good versus less processed and so people eat more.
There will be billions of people doing good work. Many will always be overlooked. So your problem is people from average schools not getting fame ? On average it's the top tier schools that produce top level prize winning / field defining people. Compare the number of those people from NCSU vs an Harvard or an MIT.
Can you please explain how that appears to be the case? What mistakes am I making? What bias do I have? Everything I've alluded to is drawn from data. I never had a pre-existing dislike of ALAs lol.

FWIW, I'm personally fond of tea dust for cold brew, too. This summer I've been very much enjoying gyokuro dust steeped overnight in the fridge as my morning beverage. Not only is it less expensive than the whole leaf stuff (essentially free vs. some of the most expensive tea I own), but I think that works better with that brewing method, too.

Probably the main reason I don't use Lipton instead of the good stuff when I'm making cold brew is that I dislike all the packaging waste. Between the brewing method and the serving temperature, I don't necessarily find the taste alone to be enough better to justify the higher price.

I think getting a driving license should require everybody to qualify for motorcycle, bicycle, truck and regular car at once.

it's telling that you're still willing to put up with all of this despite what appears to be several really, really angry posts about it.

you have tons of complaints in this thread about google's "bad behavior" but you continue to put up with it to by patronizing the company and their tools, without even apparently asking the question, "do i really need chrome?" or whatever. have you asked yourself why you keep their software on your computer if it's such a headache?

i'm sure i'll get the typical "but there's nothing better!!" response and there may not be, but it's telling of you personally that you are willing to get so upset with all of this and then... keep on keeping on.
> I don’t understand your comment. If the company is large it is likely self-funded, so it is taking on the risk, whether they are doing it in house or hiring a benefits consultant to do it for them.

Because they partner with a larger provider for the doctor / hospital / pharmacy networks and specialist support. This is a very common pattern insofar as I'm aware.

Has your experience differed?
I think you're confusing the term "novel" with "impressive", "complicated", or "hard." Indisputably, there is software that checks those other boxes. But it's not novel.

Software is fundamentally a mechanism that maps inputs to outputs. We've had a similar mechanism for a while now, mathematics. And we decided that - as complicated as mathematical theory and equations can be, there is no justice making a particular instance of math a novel, patentable, encumbered creation. It's all a derivative of the concept of mathematical manipulation, same as all software is a manipulation of a state machine.

Saying "this particular combination of state transitions is novel" is non-sensical to me.
Sure. I've been on the wrong end of people like that, and it's not a good place to be. But that's a separate question, I think - that of whether or not to accept help, vs. whether or not to offer it.
>For some things, an abstraction suffices, but it's far from a universal solution

Fair, but the ORM covers 80% of what you need. Mapping to objects, autoloading associations. These are simple selects and joins and make up a large portion of most information based systems.

When something needs performance and the ORM isn't optimizing appropriately, sure, drop to raw SQL and optimize away. Even then, what did you gain? Shaving 100 seconds off a 200 second query, sure that's worth it. But if you optimize and manage to shave off a mere five seconds, was it worth it? Maybe. Maybe not.

For most systems where you're displaying information, you just need good enough, an ORM that feels productive and doesn't get in the way (e.g. ActiveRecord).

I've been here (in the US) 3 months now, working in a near identical environment.

1) Sweet things like muffins or cakes are generally unbearably sweet to me in comparison to what I expect in similar products in other countries (Australia, EU)

2) The cultural integration of the consumption of these foods appears to be higher in the USA; donuts at morning meetings, krullers and bearclaws on desks and tables for all-hands, quarterly meetings, etc - feels very high given that I am working in a culturally and socio-economically comparable environment relative to my home countries.

Of course, commonwealth and european countries have their own culture-driven consumption patterns (cakes for birthdays, croissants, scones for morning teas in Australia/NZ/UK) - but it doesn't appear to reach a similar level of 'saturation' as in the US.

Just another limited anecdote, of course.
I don't see how. WeWork would need to be a large player for this to work out. Landlords in office parks will rent to anyone. WeWork can threaten to walk, but the landlords can just offer the space they left to someone else - they might not supply beer, but rent is cheaper so you can bring your own and still save. Or they can offer beer if that is what customers demand. There is nothing WeWork is doing that a small Landlord cannot. Or at least nothing that I can see.

I sometimes feel like companies have used the guise of "protecting novice users" as a means to take away our freedoms and increase their power (e.g. Google forcing updates on Chrome; Microsoft forcing updates and telemetry on Windows; Apple prohibiting non-app store applications and iOS downgrades). Of course, Linux and BSD exist, but many people don't want to deal with them.

The whole situation is just depressing to me.
