How could you possibly eat 75% whole-food plants on a low carb diet?

Most of them (grains, legumes, fruits and nuts to a certain extent) would fall under high carb when eaten in those quantities

For me (and generally I'd say), low carb is <50g of carbs per day.
Concerning the spelling reform, is there any language that recently underwent a successful spelling reform? And by recent, I mean in the last 10 years.

The thing is that with the widespread usage of the internet it seems harder to successfully reform the orthography of a language. Every language is, nowadays, in one way or another decentralized and uncontrolled by language authorities.
It's less common but it happens. My dad was diagnosed in his thirties. I remember him going from being slightly overweight to essentially a skeleton in just a few months.
Of course the bay area does hire tons of state university hires. I'm one of them. My first job was a fang. My undergrad wasn't in the top 100, my grad was maybe in the top 50, not sure but probably #50 ;-). I did a lot of programming in school, I practiced interview questions before I went. I've always been puzzled why other people run into this wall and can't break through.
I work in deep learning, and I'm very dubious of the benefit of terse code. In my experience 90% of novel deep learning models can be coded with base layer classes from tf/pytorch/keras + maybe a few hundred lines of 'new' code. For this code I feel like you will avoid mistakes and make things so much easier for the reader (probably yourself in 6 months), if you modularise, write it as clearly as possible and explain what each part is doing.

I have used code from the fast.ai codebase and personally I find it horrendous to work with - I find the way they structure and name classes consfusing, they use wildcard imports everywhere, they use tiny variable names for everything - it's all extremely reader-unfriendly, which for an educational tool seems completely bizarre.
Just Gramscian damage:

Unless your priority date is earlier than 2012, you are a minimum of 10 and a maximum of 30 years away from your green card. The backlog between 2009 and 2012 is around 40k people or 80k green cars so around 15 to 30 years
Best is to try. If you have an Oculus Quest handy you can give supermedium demo a try. Your feedback would be super appreciated. With a headset you get better ergonomics: resize and position a display at will and don’t have to hold anything. For comic books in particular, mural scale pages give you an appreciation of the art not possible on a traditional display. Notice that physical input is still available via controllers: similar to a TV remote or gamepad and also tracked in space enabling more subtle interactions than “traditional” input. Tracked physical keyboards will be eventually available too. I agree wearing / removing a headset is additional friction. We consider it a feature, not a bug. Hard to focus these days with so many distractions. Once you put a headset on you’re committed to the task and it removes all the noise. We see VR as a tool for focus, like shutting the door of a super fancy and private office.
That's what I'm saying - if Figma wins (it's still a considerable if) - it's due to great execution, not some grand insight.

I'm not dissing Figma, I'm disagreeing with the article about what makes it great.

> Now do the following: search the threads you provided for "Trump".

Okay then. The first two links have 8 occurrences of the string "Trump":

1. "Meaning while Trump is trying to make other country buy more Boeing planes?" I don't think this person is complaining that Trump is trying to support American businesses, but in any case they aren't saying that he shouldn't have opposed Huawei.

2. "... Trump only says pleasant words [about trade] which is completely legal in both countries?" This seems to be a defence of Trump.

3. "Trump considered [purchasing Greenland]." A criticism of a different Trump policy (in the context of an article about the Faroese prime minister).

4. "I think that Trump's move with banning Huawei is bad for the US in the mid and long run." An actual criticism of Trump's Huawei decision, based on fear of retaliation from China. Two child comments support Trump, while one supports the criticism.

5. "Trump's trade war with China, as many contract manufacturer move out of China, will prove none of that supply chain myth is true within a year or two." A comment supporting Trump's approach.

6. "These things, and I'm not passing judgment on them, are simply pushing the Chinese to be self-sufficient on everything. Stroke of the Trump pen and X chip for your hardware is denied." A comment trying to look at the long term consequences without being critical of Trump.

7. "I'm sure that the EU/australia/the west is breathing a sigh of relief that Trump did this instead of forcing them to make up some more draconian law..." A comment supportive of Trump.

8. "FYI: Trump says U.S. "wants to be the leader' in 5G development" A comment potentially trying to explain Trump's actions, but not critical of them.

If that is an accurate analysis of a random sample of comments, I would say that most posters agree with Trump about Huawei. I don't know where you get your "easily 90%" statistic from.
You are right. The cops’ behavior over the past few weeks was truly despicable.

Because that’s what you meant right, since the only violence was emanating from the police. The moment the curfews ended and the police stepped back the violence magically ended.

(With the small exception of white supremacist groups which were armed and shot a bunch of people including cops).
I can't find the exact quote, but George Carlin had a great bit on this. It goes something like:

"Before you start taking powerful psychoactive medication for your depression, anxiety, or other neuroses, do a quick head count of the people around you. You know, take a quick poll before you pop the pills. Make sure that everyone around you isn't just a complete asshole."
That claim is no way incompatible with Silicon Valley having a large, prosperous, and essential H1-B workforce.
No you aren't missing anything. "could of" (and its cousins "would of" and "should of") are common mistakes made (interestingly) almost exclusively by English-as-first-language speakers (my observation, so don't ask for citations I don't have any), since they sound similar to "could have", "would have" and "should have" particularly in "native" English accents (I'm thinking North American and UK especially).

I've never seen "could-have" (hyphenated) though. I don't think that's right either.
At the moment, I think QUIC has a lot more benefit for many small requests, rather than for one very large streaming request.

QUIC would have the advantage that you could maintain that one stream and multiplex both video data and control information over it without the problems you'd encounter doing so on HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2, but that definitely isn't worth the performance loss you'd get by deploying it today.

I think it makes perfect sense for you to wait for QUIC to be more heavily optimized. Once optimized, I think QUIC has the potential to be even faster, but it isn't there yet for your use case. (For that matter, some of that optimization is work you've put into optimizing existing HTTP and TCP, so it isn't surprising that your existing optimized stack beats current QUIC.)

Those are amazing! It's striking to me how much better my language knowledge is than his (for example, confidently distinguishing different languages from their scripts) but I'm pretty sure I would do much worse overall.

I feel like he could benefit from ten minutes to two hours looking at

because it could greatly improve his speed and accuracy on that part. :-)
I would say exactly the same thing, about this comment.
> How could you possibly eat 75% whole-food plants on a low carb diet?

It's basically not possible.

If you really want to eat a low carb plant based diet, you'd have to eat almost exclusively processed food like olive oil and Seitan.
Sure, but that's them having a competent (well, less incompetent) ISA and microarchitecture; that they've made better use of the transistors available, not that they've achieved better feature density than what would be expected from where they are on the Moores law curve.

Also Intel and AMD have not delivered higher performance via more cores; they delivered lower price for (say) 64 cores worth of performance, by putting them all on the same chunk of silicon (edit: or at least in the same package). (There are some slight improvements in inter-processor interrupt and cache-forwarding latency, but if that's a performance bottleneck, the problem is bad parallelization at the code level.)
It is very strange that people in this comment section shout "nationalism, BAD" when someone says that skilled people should stay in their own country and potentially help these countries to grow out of poverty, and statements like the one you just made - essentially rob these country of talented people and bring them into US - is somehow not nationalistic and good.
I am not an expert, but some sources on meditation describe states of extreme emotion, as intermediate steps towards enlightenment. In Wikipedia, the first and second jhana are described as "rapture and non-sensual pleasure" (with or without internal speech respectively). So the proper path to balance seems to lead through mastery of the emotions, not suppressing them.

I think the idea is that you are not your emotions, and you don't have to be ruled by your emotions, but rather the emotions are something that happens to you, and something you can control. Doesn't mean you have to turn them off, it just means you have the option to do so if necessary. Or perhaps you feel the emotion, but are not compelled to act on it.
Truth be said the consultancy companies barely make any or in fact lose money with the H-1Bs and they make way more margin on offshoring. But customers want people near them for various reasons and the offshoring doesn’t generally work well without boots on the ground.

So the H-1Bs are loss leaders with actual money being made in offshoring instead.
This is my experience as well. High pay, accommodating working conditions, and great benefits are clearly not the right motivators.

I suspect, contrary to many people’s desires, this is ultimately not a conversation about economics but a conversation on absent discipline and self motivation.
As a programmer I used to take the ability to manage my workflows as I saw fit for granted. It is amazing how much value there is in providing some level of programming capabilities to the average user. This post is essentially describing a workflow management system for designers. It's amazing Figma has unlocked so much value.
The way you frame the third choice as "and/or fat" is disingenuous and undermines the whole comment.

Yes, vegetables are less calories dense. That doesn't mean meat/cheese/bacon have to be eaten. Just an easy example, avocado's are extremely calorie dense, and yes this means fat.

The issue I have is that you just categorize meat, cheese and fat together as if the only way to get fat is via those items, or as if fat itself were unhealthy. The second is just a myth, the first is a myth the person you are responding to is directly opposing.

It's not a great surprise that a diet restricting one of the three food macros will lean heavily on the other two groups.
Did you follow the references to other papers? It seems to be well researched, and much of the information seems to resonate with my own experience.

I wish I could learn the technique through a course or something because I have seen how valuable the skill is.

I mostly skimmed the article, but in my experience I have seen some excellent bullshitters have high social status. I can recall two CEOs (one guy, one woman) with glib tongues: he is smart and successful, and I never understood the woman (but she cycled through multiple companies so she had external validation).

Another female friend bullshits successfully at work and within her peer group. My friend doesn’t use bullshit words but instead there’s a kind of Teflon irrelevancy to a lot of what she says (she is also well smart, with an intuition that works).
Both the Kindle and the Kobo have "experimental" web browsers, but it you try to read any webpage that was made after the year 2000 or so, the site is nearly impossible to navigate on them. Even freaking Wikipedia mobile pages are pretty annoying to read on my Kobo. I end up saving the page to Pocket if it's particularly long due to the headache of e-ink redrawing on longform pages.

The hardware isn't enough. The modern web itself resists being displayed on single-purpose devices.
This is particularly alarming:
"A study conducted in 2009[12] said that food production will have to increase by 70% over the next 40 years, and food production in the developing world will need to double.[13] This is a result of the increasing population (world population will increase to 9.1 billion in 2050, where there are just 7.8 billion people today). Another issue is that the effects of global warming (floods, droughts, extreme weather events, ...) will negatively affect food production, in such a degree even that food shortages are likely to occur in the coming decades.[14][15] As a result, we will need to use the scarce natural resources more efficiently and adapt to climate change.[16] Lastly, some things (such as the increase in agricultural production for 1st generation biofuels) has not been taken into account in FAO's forecast.[17]"

Unless there is a breakthrough in carbon-free fertilizer (something fertilizer manufacturer Yara is working on for example https://www.abc.net.au/news/rural/2020-06-19/pilbara-yara-en...) that 70% growth will likely come with considerable emissions on its own, exacerbating the problem.
It doesn't require every cop to be "huddled together plotting". One leader making that decision unopposed would be all it takes for the bunch to become spoiled

Also, the impact of that psychological warfare is what you may have heard described as "generational trauma"

This is particularly true for anything of a political nature, such as your example and things like the PATRIOT act. It’s named intentionally so that people can call you anti-democratic/anti-patriotic/whatever without even thinking and just pointing at the name. Things may even start with good intentions, lose sight of their goals given enough time, but cling to a name to divert criticism.
A common thing one hears from some Americans is "I'm not opposed to immigration; I'm opposed to illegal immigration". I have come to learn that this is almost always a lie; often these same folks will jump at any chance to hurt legal immigration as well.
The North Face is the biggest brand yet to join Facebook ad boycott
I think this is called the single lump of labor fallacy where there is a fixed number of jobs to compete for and by allowing immigrants to come in and take some of them the citizens are collectively poorer for it.

In actuality additional workers demand lots of things themselves that create net jobs. If more people within the carrying capacity of the environment/structures decreased economic prosperity every country in the world would be looking to shrink their birthrate as much as possible so that the decreasing population could have an increasingly large share of the fixed prosperity. We know of course that the reverse is true.
I think we are in agreement here. The technical solutions exist but are excluded for emotional reasons.
I an struggling to understand what is wrong with the phrase "water isn't wet, it just makes other things wet". Can you explain?
I mean the company is 20,000+ people and there hasn't been one story of anyone saying they were not allowed to get out of their NDA, nor any stories about being fired or treated poorly after being released. So either, no one took him up on the offer (highly unlikely given 20k people), or there was no issues when it happened.
Not to single you out and I assume you had innocent intentions, but we shouldn't keep standing silent when people describe degradation of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as they would House of Cards or Breaking Bad. Our loss of freedom and rights is not a TV show and it's absurd and alarming to keep talking about it that way.
great point to balance out the hype! This should be mentioned by article authors! I appreciate that comment.
> MPTCP definitely exists and has been deployed, which also encompasses handover.

I wouldn't be surprised if many stacks and networks are able to deploy QUIC more easily than MPTCP.
Single-threaded doesn’t imply IPC can’t go up or go above 1. See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superscalar_processor.

Wow. As an outsider, a lot of the immigration/illegal-alien discussion makes a lot more sense now that I am aware of that detail. And I can't say I'm surprised that it's been such a huge, contentious and problematic issue with that kind of grey-area.
Thought it is a Uber as you say yu-ber in English. It sounds different if in German?
Ya but you're probably taking certain things for granted that the author is not. The author thinks Figma really is amazing because it enables what they called "loop stacking" in the article. For programmers this is no big deal, programmers work with dynamic workflows and loops all the time. So if you're a programmer then I can see why you'd think it's overhyped but for most people it really is an amazing tool because it's an improvement over what they're used to.

I'm not a designer so I don't know how good it is and I only skimmed the article but the high level concepts in the article around managing design workflows make sense, e.g.

> Figma solved this problem. Designs in Figma are not just stored in the cloud; they are edited in the cloud, too. This means that Figma users are always working on the same design. With Dropbox, this isn’t true. The files may be stored in the cloud, but the editing happens locally—imagine the difference between sharing Word files in Dropbox vs. editing in Google Docs.

It sounds like Figma reduces friction in the collaboration process by clever use of cloud based and browser coordination. It's not innovative but it's a good application of existing technology to the design space.
Hypothetical billionaires and conceptual entrepreneurs are potentially good candidates for the president seat.
You are replying to something not stated.

Why is there such a shortage given the high wages, population size, access to education, and so forth?
This is not getting through...

If you are consuming your 2000 calories diet, and it is coming from plants, you are still ingesting 2000 calories worth of carbs.....

1 kg of feathers, and 1 kg of iron, weight the same....

The feathers will be large and take more volume, while the iron will be small and more dense.

Same with foods.... if your plant based diet you are consuming 2000 worth of bio-available calories, then that is still mostly carbs...

It is healthier for sure than consuming 2000 calories through processed foods such a muffins, chips and other crap. But, still your 2000 CALORIES will come through CARBS, but they will be digested slowly due to the fiber.

But if you are ingesting 2000 bio-available calories through plants, it is most likely mostly carbs (plus some fats and protein). Insoluble fiber just goes towards your poop, and it is usually not counted under 'carbs'.
I never said that the police were in the right. Did I?

I was talking about Antifa themselves since that's what I was replying to. It's good to know that Antifa are the sole arbiters of what's facist and not. For example shutting down Ben Shapiro events.
Your thoughts are right on but the right thing to do is make it trivial for people with sought after skills to become citizens so we can benefit from their expertise at the same time as eliminating H1-B exploitation instead of trying to fix said exploitation in some complex fashion that itself is likely to be gamed.

If you make the knowledge worker that any country ought to want a citizen he will naturally demand a market wage.
You absolutely do not say you-ber in english
I think it's somewhat useful. Salary matters, especially in economic conditions where other forms of compensation can decline precipitously.
The term "balance" is meaningless unless we know what kind of values are ascribed to "too much" which is exactly what we are trying to sort out.

No one talks about eating a "balanced" amount of high fructose corn syrup, in terms of nutritional benefit.
I don't assume it would fix all problems. I just assume it would force Apple to move to a slightly more developer/consumer friendly model.

Also, in a lot of cases, the choice is 100% of 0 sales because Apple just won't let you in their store.

For an example of what a third party app store would look like, check out Cydia app store (the main way to get apps on your jailbroken phone). There are a ton of useful apps in there.
> but are somehow unaware of the its cruelty

Maybe not all, but I think many of them are. The "cruelty is the point" to quote Adam Serwer.
Interesting. Listening to it in a NZ accent I can hear it.
The existing Muni lines would be sufficient to transit a large capacity of the Outer Sunset residents into downtown if they were given signal priority. The recent proposal to create a dedicated 2-3 car Muni subway line which Sunset residents have to transfer into at West Portal station is itself a huge improvement. Studies have shown that a large majority of Muni delays can be explained by the fact that trains share road space with cars that often obstruct them (and increase railway maintenance costs). Surface trains going into the subway make the problem worse, because an effective subway relies on reliable and precise train timings, but surface rail is unpredictable like a car because it shares space with cars.

The building likely doesn't have a roof deck because code and planning make that a very expensive proposition. Due to more recent planning code changes, roof decks under some circumstances count against the number of floors of housing you can build, so a builder is trading off units they can sell with the amenity value of a deck.
