My understanding is that the body will convert protein to Glucose when needed, but it is very carefully regulated, and will prefer ketones for cells that can run on them. However, some cells require glucose, and gluconeogenesis is important for that if you're eating low carb/in ketosis.
That depends. If the cost of production can be reduced with mass production, or the efficiency increased, so that it becomes energy positive, if the energy source required to make these windows is variable, for example by using any thermal energy source, or if it displaces the energy required to make normal windows, it's worth continuing to research in that direction.
Passive cooling is great but I am only at nuc level. Surprise to see it might work with 1050 ...
"The alternatives are worse" tends not to be a good refutation of "this option is bad".
Why is that worrying? They consider FC support to be an Enterprise feature which I'd say is a pretty fair assessment. They are in the business of making money and their way of doing it is by charging for certain features. If you don't want to pay, build your own freebsd nas from scratch and enable FC. I don't understand why that's concerning.
They also used email, zoom and phones!
Unlikely. Quantum dots are currently manufactured at scale and solar panels based on them reach decent efficiencies.

That being said they can't beat regular crystalline silicon solar cells on cost. Their major advantage is that they can be made transparent and lend themselves for usage in multi-junction solar cells.
Well, presumably that was why they didn’t put up as much of a fight when the American states wanted freedom. Compare with what happened in the other colonies. It is silly to think they would have continued a multi-century high-effort enterprise at a continuing operating loss.

EDIT: multi-century. Yes, governments sometimes do stupid things (on shorter timescales), but it’s also a great opportunity for each new government/generation to pin the folly on the old, and do better.
Can you?

What does China tell us about Republics, given that it is the Peoples Republic of China? What does North Korea tell us about democracy and repulbics, given that it is "The Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea"?

No? But we are willing to take at face value oppressive regimes using "socialist" language?
In this case, that "...it is difficult to do harm because by preventing a concentration of power, capitalism prevents people from committing sustained, serious harm." Specifically, that capitalism is effective in preventing the concentration of power.

From a perspective shaped by a strong commitment to an ideology and also by the Soviet Union being, in 1977, still a going concern, I can see how someone could err in this way. But that's no reason why we still need to take it seriously, four decades on.
The undergraduate and Masters degrees typically don't have the research component; that's why PhDs are necessary. At the same time, I completely agree about their poor pay and not a lot of freedom.
Most of the billionaires are assholes and/or criminals with a couple of noteworthy exceptions. So maybe not being an asshole will get you ahead in the middle but it won't get you all the way to the top of the foodchain.

So this is solid advice, but unfortunately the role models are exactly those people that didn't follow this sort of advice. Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Apple, Google and Facebook all would not have been as large and would not generate as much money for their founders if the founders had been nice guys. Fortunately we also have Woz and a couple of others like him to balance things out a bit.
It is also a fact that both meterorites and rain fall from the sky sometimes, but that doesn't mean the "chance" of a meterorite hitting my head are the same as a raindrop.

You're only going to get actual, reliable and useful numbers about failure rates between competing products by doing actual studies and analyzing the aggregate results. Anything else is meaningless. And as a buyer, I'm more worried about things like warranty and technical support quality, frankly, if I'm going to buy a prepackaged system anyway, which are easier to gauge from afar.
Yes, my understanding is that it will only convert as much as it needs to support the parts of the body that actually require glucose to run.

For me there was a optimal caffeine intake for peak leet code problem solving, the biggest thing is that coffee makes me perform better but if that disturbs my sleep that day, then the next day more coffee would make me more wired but much slower at problem solving. So peak leetcode for me is good sleep and adequate caffeine but not too much that it destroys sleep.

I am also waiting to see a study on the final serious/fatal case rate on the Diamond Princess. Since that was a heavily monitored population given a high standard of care it should be a good indicator of what western countries are in for. Since the ages of the passengers will be known, they can age-weight the statistics to better compare to the general population. 706 infected passengers is a reasonable sample size.
I don't see how that changes anything. Sure, the alternatives might be worse (which I disagree), but that doesn't mean the current system is good.
first of all, I think that's a weaker approach. I learned in highschool that if your accuser doesn't state how they know you did something, they often don't actually know for sure and are hoping you'll incriminate yourself. my guess is that opening leads people to just deny it until your show a bit more of your hand.

but my main point is that, unless the behavior happened in a very public place, the offender is likely to assume the victim reported it themselves, whether or not they actually did! the risk of retaliation probably needs to be weighed when deciding whether to confront the wrongdoer at all, unless the offense was so severe that they can be removed from the environment immediately.
That sounds kind of nifty.

Any pointers to online info for people interested in finding out more, and/or setting up their own gear for this? :)
Meaning is subjective no matter the economic system. Trillions of dollars spent in advertising also misleads people into valuing the wrong things. I see this as a problem of capitalism.
Walmart is not a monopoly.

I, and millions of other Americans, shop at alternative grocery stores and department stores every day.

In fact with online retailing and hyper competition things are cheaper and easier and choices are more plentiful then at any other time in the past.

The problem faced by smaller retailers is that people really don't like going to them. It's charming and romantic to think about small hardware stores and local grocers, but the reality is that before Walmart came along and before internet retailer a lot of retail shopping was extremely expensive and downright miserable. Stores took advantage of people's lack of information about goods/services and lack of alternatives all the time.

The growth of internet retail and big box stores and big grocer chains like Costco/Walmart/Kroger/etc have actually done a lot to keep prices low and keep the economy healthy.

So, no. Picking on Walmart in this situation is pretty much proves the exact opposite of what you are intending.
It's a shame but not that surprising. The market for electric skateboards is only so big, only so many people are comfortable with the risk and in a place where they can ride them. Nothing about Boosted really stood out, and I heard rumblings of them cutting quality in recent years to attempt to repay investors.

The jump into scooters was probably ill advised as well. It wasn't really their target market (long board riders) and the scooter market has a saturation already.

Personally I ride a OneWheel, but am actively waiting for a company to make a knock off of it that works as well. Future Motion has been locking down their parts more and more recently which is a shame because of the price.

Yeah, a former colleague of mine told me they used to regularly drink a pint of beer with an evening of coding, until on one occasion they introduced a subtle bug which took them two days to hunt down.

They were working in C, which makes it a lot easier to introduce subtle bugs than most languages, but I certainly think twice about coding while under the influence since I heard that story!

Good point, and we need to recognize that every so-called free market still relies on governments to enforce the rules (to enforce contracts, to issue currency, to protect against fraud, etc). If governments disappeared tomorrow, we would not have a free market utopia spring up in it's place. Instead we'd have a no-rules situation where the powerful could take advantage of the weak. Some other system, potentially worse than what we already have, would fill the power vacuum.
The Strongest Evidence Yet That America Is Botching Coronavirus Testing
Multiple theories, explanations etc. SF city spends almost 1 billion dollars a year to manage its homeless population of estimated 10,000. (City contests that the number is much higher because a lot of people aren't counted as homeless because of the programs).

According to a piece by the Guardian, SF has exported about 50% of the homeless population they have.

SF shows a couple crisis that are both local and national: health coverage for mentally ill people, and intense drug addiction. The city also spends a lot of money paying the local hospital (UCSF) to give treatment to homeless people and provides free heroin needles. Also the public library is basically a place of prostitution and crack all day long, right in front of city hall.

SF has probably one of the worst housing policies in the country coupled with some of the most lavish programs to sustain and spend in name of the homeless, and still has cash to spare to build a 1.4 billion dollar bus station that was closed for half a year due to construction issues.

California as a state itself has a homelessness crisis because some of the bad housing policies are state-level. This includes regressive property taxes, and extreme construction regulations.
Agreed. This has been my experience as well. I've mostly pair programmed over the last 15 years. Very similar schedule. Same pros & cons. There's a counter intuitive key element to Pair Programming - you're slowing down in order to go faster. You make fewer mistakes and correct them an order of magnitude faster when you do. You spend less time "thrashing" on something. You're less likely to loose the better part of an hour going down an implementation rabbit hole. Once you let get of the illusion that you can be better long term "by just going off and cranking this out on my own" (e.g. cowboy coding / hacking / JANGIT - Just Add New Garbage Ignore Testing), then the value of pairing really shines. 18 months into a project, you're looking at something that is still high quality, still manageable, and you still actually want to work on because you're proud of what you and your team have done.
No, what's produced is what the system wants people to think they want. Nobody wants 100 slightly different brands of the same thing. That said, I'll concede that sometimes we don't know what we want (the iPhone for example was a net positive).

Out of curiosity, how often do you use Photoshop, and for what tasks?
The court order is that a judge rules there has been trademark infringement and asks namecheap to take it down. If facebook would like to pursue suing for infringement then, they get another injunction with a court order, and the judge asks namecheap for the name associated with the infringement.
They would be mostly be old though. I would imagine very few people under 50 were on that ship. And the virus is known to be worse the older you are.
CDC’s lackluster response is absolutely confounding. One could suspect political involvement, but I can’t see who would stand to benefit.
I'm in touch with the dose because I tend to nibble pills. It's weird to me how often people consume caffeine uncritically, skipping days, having arbitrary massive doses, etc. I'm clean right now, but if I were going to start up again, 66-100mg would be all I needed to be flying. The 200mg in the study is odd to me, because that kind of dose only makes sense for someone who is already chemically dependent.

Cold turkey is the only effective way I've found to lower my dose. My personal caffeine withdrawal timeline is about 4-5 weeks (starting from say 400-500mg/day). The first few days are bad, the next few days are better. The second week is terrible. The third week is worse. Then it slowly gets better.
Anyone looking for a challenging read should consider Milton Friedman's book "Capitalism and Freedom". It's short, but very dense. He covers topics like a negative income tax (which you've heard of) and ideas you've probably never considered (like school vouchers, elimination of occupational licensure, and elimination of tariffs).

The downside is, if you find his arguments convincing, it will leave you feeling even more angry about the current role of government in society.
That's interesting! Thanks for the link. It only proves my point further. From your link, 34,200 people died from the Flu in the US last year - and not a single person is panicked about those numbers.
Either way, the seemingly (and prospective) increased actual production is what impresses me, as an illustration of a private-sector solution.
That's what bothers me about all the adoration "billionaires" are getting lately. These guys got where they are by taking advantage of whatever they could, not by being generous or nice.
There is some correlation between the benefits of "time-restricted eating" and full-blown fasting (autophagy, etc), so it makes some sense to talk about them similarly. There are many benefits to full water fasts, even for 2-3 days (and it's much easier to do successfully if one is already in ketosis). See the work of Dr. Jason Fung: https://thefastingmethod.com/

So the solution is to abolish capitalism right? Assuming you're right with your "lobbying" claim, how can you solve this by increasing government involvement in the economy? won't it be the same corrupt politicians who would be more empowered to pass laws to benefit their cronies?

Criminal justice reform or simply decriminalizing drug use will eliminate this problem entirely.

Afaik there is no top athlete on keto when performing: they are all on high-carb.

Keto is the "burn your body fat" mode. Staying in keto by eating high fat low carb is a trick. Humans never had such easy access to fats as today. Before we made settlements we got a large part of our calories from fruits (which contain short carbs), not unlike the other primates.
Can anything actually realiably get you to that top though? Even though a lot of asshole are there, I would doubt that being an asshole is a pre-req, and that in fact it's extreme luck - these people are > 6 sigma outliers when it comes to a lot of things. And it could very well be a learned behaviour of being that rich. Either way, it's pointless to aim to be one of those people - you just can't without the stars aligning in so many ways you can't control. Instead you're just an asshole who wants to be a billionaire, which probably makes you more of an asshole.
I'm fairly confident if we started testing everyone with Flu-like symptoms, we'd show numbers even lower than the 0.75% in South Korea. It's just not as deadly as was initially reported.
That is the point of the article, yes. But it doesn't offer evidence that that is a financially better strategy.

It is self-evidently morally better, of course. And it may be financially better too. But the article just flatly claims it in a number of single-sentence paragraphs without communicating any real data.
DNS is fairly lightweight and if you have one local on premises, it might be less noticeable, especially if latency is not critical (in previous places I worked that was the setup, we still had a local cache on every host and I would encourage doing that, it increases resiliency). If latency is critical, not having a cache adds extra round trip on every connection initiated.

If you have hosts on public cloud and use DNS server that is also shared with others the latency typically might be bigger and on high number of requests you might also start seeing SERVFAIL on large number of requests.

I can't find the forum post anymore, but people who had applications that were opening large number of connections (bad design of the app imo, but still) had huge performance degradation when they moved from c4 to c5 instances. It turned out that this was because of the move from Xen to Nitro (based on KVM).

Side effect of using Xen was that the VM Host was actually caching DNS requests by itself, from which all guests benefited. In the KVM, all DNS requests were going directly to the DNS server.

Free markets are NOT a zero sum game.

If I buy an iPhone from Apple for $1000, you'd think they "accumulated resources at my expense", but I got something -- an iPhone.

That iPhone is worth for me more than $1000, otherwise I'd keep the $1000.

For Apple, it's worth less, otherwise it would raise the price or go bankrupt.

Both parties are better off.

What people call "late stage Capitalism" is not Capitalism at all -- it is Cronyism. It is the private sector buying favors from the government. Capitalism prevents that by definition.

True capitalism may as well make people very rich, and although I've not verified it, I am willing to concede that it widens the wealth gap. However, poor people in capitalist countries are far richer than they would have been without it.

Why would you care about the gap? Care about how you are doing.

I've gone to a supermarket before. In fact when I was young I was forced by the system to work as a cashier at one, and to this day, a decade and a half later, I can't think of a worse feeling than sitting 8 hours a day doing absolutely nothing. It was a small town, so there weren't many customers, and all I could think while I looked at the shelves full of useless products was that I'd much rather be doing anything even slightly intellectual stimulating. This was around the time when I started getting into programming, so you can imagine how miserable I was that I couldn't spend that time learning / producing.

It's easy to see this from the perspective of the customer only, but think of how many lives and brilliant minds are being wasted away in the system.
> Sugar consumption has actually been in decline for years now and obesity keeps climbing.

Do you have a source for this? Because it seems like unless you cook your own food, it's nearly impossible to avoid foods that have _added_ sugar these days. Maybe sugar consumption has increased, but it's less obvious now.
