> "Placebo effect caused me to not want a nap in the afternoon?"

No, it was probably the adrenaline being pumped due to the caloric deficit — without which you wouldn't have lost weight — or at the very least your diet being eucaloric, because eating too much does make one sleepy ;-)

> "Not being hungry until meal time?"

This can be attributed to — (1) extra proteins compared with your regular diet and (2) eating foods that aren't highly palatable. (speaking of which, high carb diets made of whole plants also have the advantage of fiber and volume)

There is a lot of evidence in the scientific community for these claims, while there is none for any specific effects of the keto diet. This isn't about anecdotes, although keto proponents sure seem to have a lot of them.

Good for you, I lost 55 pounds too (not on keto), I know how challenging losing fat can be. And I'm genuinely glad to see other people succeeding.

If you feel good, keep doing whatever it is you're doing. If not, then know there are plenty of other options.
Works fine for me. Only issue is that the Picasso video driver isn't in 4.19 shipping with Debian 10. Text mode works though, so it is easy to build and install the latest kernel.

How is that remotely comparable? The main purpose of the gulag system is plain enough: punishment, control, and only secondarily, slave/forced labour for economic gain.

The colonial system is precisely the opposite: the main purpose is to extract value, through extraction, trade, industry, etc, from the colonies to the mainland.

You can't get thousands of variables with all to all connectivity on a quantum annealer. The noise will kill it. I.e. you will never have such a device with reasonable coupler precision.

The techniques for decomposing a problem and solving the sub problems are a big (exponential) overhead because of frustration effects which require you to look at the entire problem at once.

And for context the PUBO -> QUBO mapping (high order to low order) + topology embedding can blow up the number of variables by an order of magnitude or more. The solution space scales exponentially with the number of variables so a naive solver will again deal with a messy overhead.

I've encountered two types of people who attempt the asshole strategy: A) those stick around in town and after about 10 years, eventually build a bad reputation that they can't shake, and B) those who have to move every 2 to 3 years to keep ahead of their bad reputation.

The first group finds they eventually have to move to get back to progressing in their career (hopefully learning from their mistake). I've known guys who moved and did change, running into them again and finding them to be completely different people, settled into family life, and quite happy. I've known guys who moved and didn't change, found themselves needing to move again in 10 years, all while cursing the world for being against them.

The second group just never progresses in their careers. You see them try to move into positions that seemingly fit such behavior, like "serial entrepreneur" or "SEO consultant". They never really grow, always behaving like they're still in their early 20s. By the time they hit their 40s, they can't pick up chicks at bars anymore and it hits home that they've wasted their life. Unfortunately, I've never met anyone who changed and turned it around.

It does come around. It just takes longer than internet scale time.

Your English is fine.

However, your first two papers seem to state ACE inhibitors makes ACE2 worse in terms of COVID-19.

"Losartan increased plasma levels of both Ang II and Ang-(1-7), as well as cardiac ACE2 mRNA and cardiac ACE2 activity"

The last one does nothing except say, "someone should look at it."
I totally agree. A business school professor of mine, Stuart Diamond, wrote a book called Getting More about using these ideas in negotiation. His theory is that you should always be leaving money on the table. If you're not, you're playing the short game.

upregulation of ACE2 means the mRNA that is responsible for the code to make ACE2 protien is being transcribed.

this does not mean the ACE2 enzyme activity or concentration is increased
That seems like more of what WolframAlpha caters to. Personally, I don't like assuming an engine has interpreted what I'm looking for correctly - I'd prefer to maintain some of the load of personally understanding the source of information and it's context. So here is what I do:

>> distance from Los Angeles to New York

!m los angeles to new york

>> Joe Biden age

!w joe biden

>> knives out cast

!imdb knives out

>> capital of South Africa

!w South Africa

And that last one is a really good example of why I don't want to trust an engine to interpret what I'm looking for, because Wolfram Alpha just tells you Pretoria, and if I hadn't spent a large part of my life there I wouldn't know that's probably not what people are looking for. Economically? They probably want to know that Johannesburg is the largest city. Just like how people are sometimes surprised when they learn that New York City and Los Angeles are not state capitals, even though they're really important cities. Politically? Well the roles of the government is split between 3 cities and that's not a simple thing for an engine to comprehend. And I didn't even know Bloemfontein held that kind of status until I just read it on Wikipedia. Neither I, a former citizen of the country, nor WolframAlpha, was aware of that.
I think the bigger question is what is the difference between a Minsky moment and an inverse-short squeeze (a long squeeze?)?

This is almost certainly getting cause and effect backwards. That is, South Korea has been testing a large number of people because there were a large number of likely cases to test, mainly due to that one cult inadvertantly spreading the coronavirus to so many people. You can see this in the number of tests that turn out positive: it's hovering somewhere around 4% in South Korea and slowly dropping now they've got through the really likely targets, but was in the high single digits earlier. Back when the CDC was only testing the most likely cases, their number was around 3%. A lot of the media reporting on this is dubious and might lead people to believe that the US had South Korea-level numbers all along and just wasn't spotting them due to not testing, but that's unlikely.

Show HN: Generate phishing alternative domains for Handshake
hello everyone,

https://github.com/stagas/hns-phish-gen

this is a small node.js project i've made in an effort to demonstrate the absurdity of using a government controlled, suppression-enabling centralized domain system (ICANN) when an alternative and superior technology (Handshake) is solving the same problem in a decentralized and secure manner, where the key holder has actual ownership of the domain, rather than it being provided by a private company as a service, which can, and therefore will be, revoked, when it is seen as economically hostile to some random dude's interests

it will only display domains that have been rolled out by the algorithm and can be registered right now at namebase.io (not affiliated)

Risking going off on a tangent...Regarding the first one with the time issue. I've always felt uneasy about all the ambiguity in the components of the time structure. People can easily get confused about the offset, the tz, and the dst flag. Are they independent? Do you add all their effects together when you calculate the UTC time? Are they redundant, so you can only use the offset? No surprise that it's interpreted in many different ways.
Oh. I assumed oats and other grains were naturally yellow-colored plants, since that's how they're always depicted, but from checking Google I see that's not true.

I'm pretty sure it's not that nobody bothers, it's just that there is well over a decade of research and literature strongly suggesting that it's either (a) impossible to do this kind of direct productivity measurement accurately, or (b) gives the wrong idea, creating wrong incentives that generally fail to improve outcomes (or worse, that the measuring directly hinders many positive outcomes.)

Outcomes are hard to measure, so we measure productivity instead. At least that's how it goes in my organization (and it does not turn out well, as suggested by the literature.)

This article is irresponsible. The federal government has been forthcoming about the problem with one component in the test kit they released. They provided a work-around quickly and have updated the test protocol and are releasing updated test kits. At least where I sit in New York State cooperation between our Democratic Governor and the Federal Agencies has been a good example. New York can now produce test kits and are quickly ramping up to 1000 tests per day.

I would note that this was made possible by scientists with federal (and state) funding to obtain the structure of the virus quickly and that these results helped guide the development of test kits.

If the query engine cannot recognize that nothing in "filled torus" indicates anything remotely close to a desire for porn results, then it's just not good.

A DDG search for "full prison" with safe search off returns, in order: xvideos.com, pornhub.com, xnxx.com, xnxx.com, serco.com (holy shit something actually about prisons sort of), xxxparodyhd.net, pussyspace.com, fox.com/prison-break, youtube.com, youtube.com

That's ridiculously bad. I'm not sure it could be worse if they tried.

If there's one astoundingly obvious way that Google's results are superior, it's that apparently they first ask themselves "is the user looking for porn? [Yes/No]" and then proceed from there.

Basically the commercial version was initially called "FreeNAS Pro" but because of the "Free" in the name it was not treated seriously in the enterprise, so it was renamed to "TrueNAS". So after the merge, they still don't want to use word "free" so they took the commercial name and added "Core" to it.

I think a lot of people confuse "being an asshole" and "playing the game." If you ever play poker with people who don't know they're doing, they'll often accuse you for "being an asshole" for making an optimal decision. The point of the game is to make as much money as possible, so it's a bit silly to be upset when someone is leveraging every advantage they have as long as they aren't cheating.
Looking at Table 3, it seems like there is a consistent improvement in divergent problem solving, but it's well within the standard deviation for each row. So it may actually help with that and we just need many more data points.

The other thing is, for me caffeine results in more ideas bubbling out of my subconscious. This can be great for brainstorming-type creativity or getting unstuck while working on a creative project - but it's like operations research where you're solving the problem by adding another variable. It's not useful for more specific, constrained problems like the "divergent" tasks in the paper.
I was under the impression that on average the brain/body needs around 9 days of no caffeine consumption to get back to its natural baseline. I can't seem to find the source of that study right now...
