I've studied nutrition out of my own curiosity for more than ten years now. When I opened this article, one of the first things I did was ctrl+F "potassium" -- the most underrated nutrient. Average potassium intake is below recommended levels and resolving this may lead to significant reductions in mortality[1]. Potassium may also reduce the severity of osteoporosis[2], although I (male) don't need to worry about that. Improving potassium status is also associated with simply feeling better[3].

Good sources of potassium include fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, milk, yogurt and eggs -- or, in other words, anything except meat, cheese, grains, and overly-processed crap. (When cheese precipitates from milk, most potassium remains in the liquid phase. I am not sure if the same happens with tofu.)

I haven't ever really tried to lose weight, but I've always had very strong motivations to maintain low body fat:

- my mother's family has a history of cardiovascular disease (grandfather d. stroke at 67, aunt d.m. type 2)

- my father's family has a high prevalence of obesity

- I have scoliosis with associated back pain

With these factors in mind, I've spent a lot of time combing the USDA nutrient database: http://fdc.nal.usda.gov/ . I don't use an "energy out" calculator -- rather, I keep track of my intake and habits and correlate these to changes in my weight.

The strategies I use are mostly quotidian: every meal must have some dietary fiber; avoid snacking -- drink water first and choose foods with fiber if you must; stay active etc. Possibly the most valuable thing I've learned, though, is how many things -- particularly vegetables -- you can prepare using nothing but an oven and aluminum foil, without making more dirty dishes. This is invaluable for continuing to make healthy choices when it's late and you're tired, or improving a meal that already requires substantial effort. Fatigue is your most formidable enemy, and "lazy cooking" techniques ward it off.

I'm French (and incidentally a doctor,and my post is not judgemental in any way, this is not the point).
Everytime I travel to the USA, I'm puzzled by how difficult it is to "eat normally" (= by my own standards).
You can find really good junk food everywhere, or pay a really high price to eat in high-level Italian restaurants for example, but it is very difficult to eat standard meat-with-vegetable-without-sugar-added, except in Asian restaurants (and even there, food is often sweetened). Of course it is biased because I have no access usually to a kitchen when I travel.

I think sugar is the main problem (not fat) and I'm not convinced calory count is key. We did not evolved to eat processed sugar, which is not easily found naturally in the environment.

My 2 cents:
- eat as much vegetables as you want (learn to cook them, with a little bit of olive oil)
- eat as much fish as you want (no need to cook! Low temperature baking, 1h at 70-80°, the best cooking you'll ever have)
- eat meat in reasonable, "as-if-you-had-to-hunt-it-with-a-bow" quantities
- ban every processed food, sauce, appetizer.... If you would not eat a spoon of every single ingredient of some food, don't eat it.
- ban all added sugar, except (real) honey in reasonable proportions.

This implies to know/learn how to cook (not so hard but this is easier when the local/family culture allowed you to learn passively).

It looks like this is hard to do in the USA: you don't easily find, for example, yogurt without sugar added. (Or I didn't look at the right place, once again this is not judgemental).

Generally speaking, it is easy to find online high-level cooking courses, but hard to learn the basics of how to cook your onions or tomatoes in different ways in everyday life, or make an healthy meal with what's left in the fridge; this could be interesting to have.

I can't find the article again that uses an analogy for "revolutionary" change vs "incremental" change: that of slowly climbing a mountain in a fog (roughly knowing which direction the peak is and going there) vs launching up into the air to randomly land somewhere. The takeaway is that if we've made it far up the mountain of progress, a revolution is more-likely to land us somewhere far below the progress we've already made.

Anyone remember anything like this? I'd love to find the blog post again!

I agree to an extent. I'm one of those people that believes corporations are more likely to function and government intervention is likely to deepen disfunction. However, I don't share the same laissez faire attitude that many share about big businesses.

As stated by Buffett in Bray's article, anti-trust enforcement has fallen so far into the favor of large corporations the past few decades that the average age of public companies has increased. One would think that public opinion should reflect the swing of the pendulum, but this hasn't entirely been the case.
I've had a similar DEXA experience. My last scan put me at 30% fat, whereas my scale estimate 16% and a 3D external scan estimated 18%. My appearance does not match typical pictures of someone at 30% body fat. In fact, at 30% I would be in the 99th percentile of % fat mass for my height and weight--something I think unlikely. Like the author, I was in a fasted state of ketosis at the time.

Whose media is the question. A bit under half of the votes went to Donald Trump 2016, and I bet few in this demographic are listening to NPR just like few who voted for Clinton are watching Hannity. There is this narrative among the right that the vast majority of media is left leaning, but given the numbers and viewership of conservative voices on cable news, talk radio, the internet, and the fact that nearly half the voting block of this country consumes this media and votes R, I don't buy the argument. A lot of the supposedly leftist major media articles I encounter read as firmly centrist or even center right to me at least.
>...They often brought up to deflect discussion, but simply operate at a order of magnitude smaller scale.

That is simply not correct.

>...In the 2016 election cycle, private prisons gave a record $1.6 million to candidates, parties and outside spending groups.

90% of that came from one company (GEO Group).

https://www.opensecrets.org/industries/indus.php?ind=G7000

Now compare the private prison industry to the prison guard union in CA CCPOA(California Correctional Peace Officers Association).

>...These dues raise approximately $23 million each year, of which the CCPOA allocates approximately $8 million to lobbying.

This is just the CA prison guard union and it is $8 million a year.

From the same article:

>...many of [CCPOA’s] contributions are directly pro-incarceration. It gave over $100,000 to California’s Three Strikes initiative, Proposition 184 in 1994, making it the second-largest contributor. It gave at least $75,000 to the opponents of Proposition 36, the 2000 initiative that replaced incarceration with substance abuse treatment for certain nonviolent offenders. From 1998 to 2000 it gave over $120,000 to crime victims’ groups, who present a more sympathetic face to the public in their pro-incarceration advocacy. It spent over $1 million to help defeat Proposition 66, the 2004 initiative that would have limited the crimes that triggered a life sentence under the Three Strikes law. And in 2005, it killed Gov. Schwarzenegger’s plan to “reduce the prison population by as much as 20,000, mainly through a program that diverted parole violators into rehabilitation efforts: drug programs, halfway houses and home detention.”

https://californiapolicycenter.org/the-role-of-the-prison-gu...

Besides lobbying for more incarceration, they also lobby to prevent accountability:

>...Between 1989 and 1999, 39 inmates were shot to death, and 200 more were wounded. Not one district attorney in the state prosecuted a correctional officer for any of these assaults. ... Local district attorneys have good reason to hesitate before taking a position against the CCPOA’s interests. Greg Strickland, former district attorney in Kings County, home to Corcoran state correctional facilitity, attempted to take a brutality case to the grand jury. The CCPOA fueled his opponent with $30,000 in the next election, leading to Strickland’s defeat. A similar scenario happened in Del Norte County and in Susanville.

You’re missing the point. The issue is that the underlying layer is more complex than it needs to be, not that the company needs to use that underlying layer to solve business requirements.

Adding native image lazy-loading to Ghost with a Cloudflare Worker
The policeman is a trained and vetted, albeit imperfectly, professional standing in a venue, the likes of which you've encountered many times. That policeman's goal is (highly likely) to keep order at the venue and collect a paycheck.

Contrast this to armed anarchists, anti-fascists, whatever, occupying city blocks as part of an organization that's connected to street violence and looting. The CHAZ guard, hasn't been trained and vetted and you don't know what his goals are and you haven't experienced it before.

As others have noted, it's a bit of a false premise to ask "Why are we scared of these people but not those other recent protests?" Because, of course, you assume people weren't scared by the other protests, which is not necessarily the case. Imagine someone who worked in one of the government buildings that the end-lockdown people occupied, there are now a hundred guys with masks and rifles occupying the building - is that imaginary worker scared or disturbed, and can you see why "But you aren't scared of the armed courthouse guards" isn't exactly equivalent?
How to Add Swagger to Quarkus
I have a long history of back pain going back to college (32 now). As I've gotten older (and a bit bigger) I've started to get knee pain in addition if I run a lot. So I recently switched to biking which has honestly been way more fun, opened me up to exploring more parts of my city and the surrounding area than running did, and I haven't really had any associated pains since starting roughly a year ago.

I still drink way too much so losing weight is an issue, but I do feel healthier at least.

This is what I would call hypocrisy. The US has a long history of bullying companies from other countries (see the Iran situation for example), but now that they are not the biggest kid on the playground, there is suddenly outrage that other countries do it as well.

And regarding values of freedom, if that is really what you care about maybe it would be a good start to stop supporting despots worldwide and overthrowing democratic governments because they don't favour American businesses.

"Lifted out of poverty" sounds nice but tends to mostly mean that people who were formerly peasants have instead worked in sweatshops and horrible factories for decades or centuries.

Right, so lifted out of poverty. Just because you think their new job is a "horrible sweatshop", doesn't mean their lives haven't actually improved.
Last year I went to Europe for a two week vacation. I stuffed myself like a greedy pig for two weeks, but I barely gained any weight on my return to the US. The next week, I went on a staff retreat for only 3 days and stuffed myself again. That time, I gained more than twice what I'd gained in Europe.

I'm convinced that the quality of European food is, on average, vastly superior to what's available in America.

Ask HN: Why is the bandwidth on the big 3 cloud providers insanely expensive?
0.08 per gb is... insane? Are they out of their mind? Maybe I don't get this but whenever I chose a provider, I always look at the bandwidth pricing in addition the the compute costs.

Bandwidth on DO, Vultr, Linode etc is priced reasonably at 0.01 per gb, though that can be decreased further now.

Such is the case with mongodb atlas (their cloud DBaaS) because they only provide their offering at those providers I can't use them.

Or am I missing something here?

A strategy of "small wins" has been what Henry Spira has done during his tremendous work with animal rights (documented in "Ethics Into Action", a book by Peter Singer).

As examples: his year-long campaign was the first in history to end an experiment on animals: specifically an experiment in which the Smithsonian was (via taxpayer dollars) mutilating cats to see the effects on their sex lives.

Compounding on his concrete wins, he eventually got makeup manufacturers to design tests (that ended up being better than before!) that did not require the use of animals.

Per arrest to one year of driving: you would have to be arrested ten times in a year for your risk from the police to match your risk driving a car that year.

Per arrest for violent crime (where most of the deaths occur), blacks are safer than whites.

I’ve been reviewing the footage from Seattle — and protestors started every instance of violence by first getting forceful with the cops.

Show me any evidence that there’s an endemic problem of violence — because nothing I can find in either statistics about harm or footage from protests suggests there is.

That’s an empiric conclusion: studying the statistics about how often police harm people and comparing them to other sources of risk — which show they’re relatively minor.
I agree this works on an individual level. But if other people few insecure by your confidence, security or success, they may try to sabotage you. You still need to be aware of this dynamic so that you aren't blindsided people jealous or angry over your success and their own relative failure by which they are comparing you to even you are not comparing them or judging them yourself.

Exactly this. I had started my own reply and refreshed and saw yours, thanks.

The other benefit of the concurrent design (versus the single-threaded version) was that it was actually much simpler. This was critical for our field because that system is still flying, now 12 years later, and will probably be flying for another 30-50 years. The single-threaded system was unnecessarily complex. Much of the complexity came from having to include code to handle all the state juggling between the separate tasks, since each had some dependency on each other (not a fully connected graph, but not entirely disconnected either). The concurrent design made it trivial to write something very close to the most naive version possible, where waiting was something that only happened when external input was needed. So the coordination between each task just fell out naturally.

You still have to care about locking the system up, but in our case because each process was sufficiently reduce to its essentials, this was easy to evaluate and reason about.
In fact, essentially all new development in the highest-paid financial, HPC, CAE, telecomm, aerospace, and ML fields is pure C++. Rust is not a blip in any of them, and will not be for years to come. C is dead there (except in aerospace and telecomm), Go is nonexistent, and Java is mentioned on rare occasions.

To suggest C++ usage is in decline is, objectively, nothing short of delusional. For Rust, C++ will the one to beat in ten and twenty years, provided not too many have already skipped onto some new hotness.

Rust is an objectively better design than anything else that has arisen in 30+ years. That doesn't guarantee success.

I used to hope a better language would displace C++, and for a time thought Rust might be it, but that better language turned out to be C++ itself. Nothing else is even on the horizon.

You're complaining about indulgence! You're saying that this change won't help people as much as something else. This is a fair criticism. Changing some technical term is probably not a optimally utilitarian use of resources.

However, while you may be trying to live an optimally utilitarian life, the rest of us aren't. I can only speak for myself of course, but evaluating all my life's actions on only that axis is too strict for me.
