You may be right, but the reason I put that in the title was because it begins by siting a bunch of other research evidencing that “short-term fasting ...can protect healthy cells against a wide variety of stressors, including chemotherapy”, because in the trial they were able to omit dexamethasone with no negative effects, and because “chemotherapy-induced DNA damage in T-lymphocytes“ was “significantly curtailed”
I view it as looking out into the audience while saying what I have to say (in the case of blog posts), or paying attention to who I talk to and using the best strategy when doing door to door sales.

Do people put on a mask when they open a door for a stranger or when they go to the market?

This kind of knowledge is strategic for both people that want to be heard or to make a sale. Each kind of person requires a different approach. Being observant doesn't require consent.
I posted the same comment since I hadn’t seen yours. Just to add to this, some brands do have an extra plastic piece that will ostensibly turn it into a child safe bottle.
I am terrified of a hurricane knocking out power throughout Florida followed by even a mild heatwave. Nursing homes could barely handle keeping their staff from going to the bars and getting Covid- are we to believe they are prepared to deal with hundreds of cheaply built old-person dorms turned into sous vides?
Thank you that makes sense
I skimmed it, like most "articles" about articles that suggest that SARS was either intentionally or inadvertently released from a lab, and after a bit determined it was propaganda, not legitimate science, and did not continue.
Shame, this would be very useful! I am not that handy with stuff, it would be cool to buy a complete solution.

Totally agreed. I regularly introduce myself as a doctor to new acquaintances, since I occasionally visit the pharmacy to fill some prescriptions. It totally pisses me off when they insist on asking me what medical school I went to, and elitist crap like that!

Semi related but in the opposite direction:

I know a PE who worked for a local trash disposal service* many years in the past. He always put something like "waste disposal and processing engineer" on his resume and mads it sound like he was dancing around the fact that he was a garbage truck driver. His clients would always ask about it as if he was a truck driver since it looked like an oddball in the context of his resume and he loved saying "Well no, I actually designed the facilities."

*Turns out low margin industries employ a surprising number of PEs so they can rubber stamp all their facilities projects in-house without getting bent over by whatever PE firm(s) is buddy-buddy with the municipality(s) they're operating in
Is the goal of civilization that all people should be 100% protected against 100% of threats 100% of the time? I have a statistically higher chance of dying in a car accident in the 2.5 hour drive to visit my parents than I do of dying from Covid-19. The restrictions we're placing people under over this virus are disproportionate to the harm it's doing to our civilization.

If the goal is really to protect people, then we shouldn't stop at isolation. We should ban all of the things that could potentially harm people: alcohol, tobacco, fast food, sex (protected or otherwise - there is too much risk), and driving. We should remove all peoples' liberties to protect them from all threats.

The following two things can both be true:
1) The short sellers exist to build bad press to drive down valuations so they profit by short-selling and engage is very shady practices to do so.
2) Fraud has occurred at Nikola.

Unlike Tesla and the never-ending $TSLAQ "Tesla is nothing but fraud", it appears that they really have something here with Nikola, even though my knee-jerk reaction to the short-sellers is one of mostly disgust.
All this drama reminds me of the business culture of Japan, building walls around their gardens, growing stuff with seeds from public parks while having unethical work policies for gardeners.

The entire problem of Japan is that they specialized in perfecting what others invent, which can only take you so far.

If companies want to fork Zig and distribute it commercially in such an early stage, then Zig is doing something right.
Arm's Mali GPUs don't seem very important in the grand scheme of things. They're the choice for SoC makers who don't have anything else. Qualcomm has their own Adreno, Apple has their own thing, NXP buys GPUs from Vivante, Samsung is now going to include AMD Radeons in phones..
I think the argument is very clear. The bare minimum to call yourself a developer is if you wrote a line of code.

Everything else are degrees of skill/competence.
I’m not suggesting doing it yourself...I’m suggesting the exact opposite. What I am advocating for is redundancy.

But thanks for playing.
>What tools you use following that are up to you

For most, they're up to your employer. If everyone I interview knows AutoCAD because they all learned AutoCAD in college, I'm probably going to purchase AutoCAD. Companies provide those steep discounts to students because they want to condition you, not because it's good PR. And it's such an effective strategy that you never even have to consider that other programs exist, let alone that they could be worth your time.

I do admit that I find the "anti-business" citations pretty strange from the context of developing a programing language. I can understand this mindset if you're doing some work of art and don't want it corrupted by corporate drones, but for a technical tool I don't really get what could go wrong.

What would a corporate sponsor of a programing language want? A clear release schedule and roadmap, stability, practicality and efficiency. Those are all positive things IMO. Unless the original author wants to maintain Zig as an ultra-experimental toy language I don't really see the problem.
Populism does seem to get used as a bit of an insult, but there is a definite tendency towards the idea that big, complicated problems have simple solutions that the evil government is just refusing to use for malicious reasons that fits the term and this seems like a good example.

For example, Gates insists that people should be able to get test results within 24 hours no matter what and that it is unbelievable and inexplicable that the US isn't encouraging people without symptoms to get tested. There's an inherent trade-off between those two things - push people without symptoms to get tested and it overloads the testing capacity, impeding access to testing and contact tracing for everyone - which can't easily be fixed by expanding testing. There's an extremely limited global supply of everything needed to carry out testing, the US already has pretty much the biggest testing program out there excluding a handful of really small countries, and the availability of further supplies is not being helped by the fact that Europe is having major outbreaks right now and is trying to expand testing there up to US levels. You wouldn't know this from the article, which just makes it sound like the big bad government is doing these things to make this worse because they're big and bad.

(There also seem to be some pretty fundamental limitations as to how useful testing potentially-exposed people without symptoms can even be in the first place. Test them too early and it'll likely give a false negative. Test them too late and you'll only find out they're positive after they've been contagious for some time, plus they may also test negative too. I've also seem it claimed that the optimal time to test people is about 3 days after the peak in infectiousness, which probably doesn't help - though without symptoms it's not like there's really any way to tell when the optimal time is anyway. This really fundamental reason why what he's calling for wouldn't work as described is just ignored, even though the CDC's literal stated reason for discouraging it is that it would lead to false negatives which would cause people to think they're in the clear and go out and spread the virus.)
I address this in my write up. There are important use cases for getting the data off the bottle top.
That's pure self-contradictory nonsense. Not proof of fraud though, just proof of ineptitude.
Exactly my point. If you're still doubtful about impact of max speed on fatality rate, check out the EU stats per 100k vehicles, bikes vs mopeds in different countries:

https://ec.europa.eu/transport/road_safety/specialist/knowle...

So I guess it's q.e.d that limiting max speed saves lives - but no biker will passionately advocate for this solution?

When did I ever say most people have this issue? Of course most don’t. But there are many that do: an hour of lost sales a few times a year can easily justify the very easy efforts of running two CDNs. You’re vastly overestimating the cost (human and financial).

We have a substantially (96.2%) similar virus with known killing potential (3 out of 6 miners who caught it). It is discovered in 2013, but isn't added to any databases (despite the deaths making it very notable) until late January of this year.

The mine samples came from Yunnan province, but the research was done in Wuhan which is in Hubei province (Those provinces aren't even adjacent) at a lab which just so happens to be rather close to the seafood market where the first cases allegedly happened.
At least from my perspective this has been an ongoing problem for many years now and I would refer you to Godwin's law.

There is this weird sort of mystique about Hitler and the Nazi Party that keep people entranced that it was "pure evil" rather than a decade-plus political process taking place in a very unique time of history with many other actors in play. You can't use any sort of "slippery slope" argument because of course those don't exist. The fact that you can trace elements of both WW-I and WW-II to at least the mid-1800s in terms of holistic world upheaval doesn't even get mentioned. There doesn't seem to be many students of history these days.

Instead what we get is almost fantasy horror and when you try to make serious political arguments they are just dismissed. I mean, it can't happen here because unicorns don't exist either. I also find it troubling that many people have no appreciation for Marx, Lenin, Stalin, and Mao in light of the millions lives that were destroyed after WW-II. Some very horrific acts occurred in the 20th century and debating rather than dismissing these issues seems like not only a good idea, but probably essential if peace and humanity are truly desired.
I think consumers and companies should go their best to shift to them too.

Most of our digital world is built on free code not proprietary crap.
I don’t know when this interview was, but I’m surprised to see no mention of sputum testing as a replacement for Nasopharyngeal RT-PCR.

I don’t know the precise number, but probably at least a dozen of these spit tests have been developed at Universities and approved by the FDA for emergency use. Some even use the LAMP protocol as opposed to RT-PCR, which saves on time and reagents.

Another thing I always think of is how we didn’t adopt the contact tracing protocol that Google and Apple developed. Obviously it was a trust issue, and maybe some logistical shortcomings, but contact tracing as we’ve implemented it is largely ineffectual in reducing spread. The serial interval in young people is likely less than the time it takes to get back a test, and certainly shorter than the time it takes to get a test and complete a contact tracing interview.

The US response to Covid is obviously a polarizing issue, but we’re all wrong to assume that we couldn’t have done better.
A fairly substantial portion of your comment history, and 2/3 submissions appear to be finding some way to shit on Tesla, SpaceX, or Musk.

Exactly. If a stodgy old tenured professor doesn’t understand how to use the tool... he won’t.

You can’t expect the guy who has dedicated his career to the ancient Egyptian papyrus scrolls about floods in the Nile contributing to the growth of Mesopotamia to also just poke around with this new web-based tool and figure out how it works so he can transfer all his students over to it. He’ll just keep going with the printed page like he has for 40 years of teaching.
>> So they will have to learn those non-free products. And given that only minority learn the concepts not what exactly which button to push, there will be a lot of unhappy people in the offices.

If your standard for educational institutions is to learn how to push specific buttons and be unable to learn new software, then they will be failing miserably. And not just because, as you point out in your comment, not every company uses the same office suite. By your standard, using MS Office is already a pragmatic failure for students who go somewhere where they use Google Docs.

Where is the evidence that a 15 day fast is dangerous?
Overabundance of choice is not always a positive, however.

However awful they may be, at least with a proprietary software vendor I have one throat to choke. I don’t have to try to track down someone who can help me.

Theoretically I can always find the programmer to help me fix my problem with an open source application - practically the odds of me being able to actually do so are not on my side; hence the continued flourishment of proprietary software.

If the open source community would spend more time on solving issues like these that are brought up instead of insulting people who tell them why they don’t use open source software, more people might actually use open source software.

Cool project, but the issue is rather that the US has pill bottles at all. Pretty scary, especially for overdoseable drugs. Other places have moved on blister packs a long time ago.
Advertising is a type of hypnotism. I'm sure you've heard that you can't hypnotize someone into doing something against their will. The trick is, most people are unaware of what their wills actually are. We make choices quickly and unconsciously then retrace the decision making process after the fact. A suggestion that contradicts your natural tendencies isn't likely to affect your behavior. But there's a range of ways that hypnosis and advertising can nudge your brain into thinking a particular way and you'll come up with a justification for it that doesn't acknowledge the outside influence.
Do you build your own chips though?
Why make people search instead of quoting the relevant section?

"The human fasting mimicking diet (FMD) program is a plant-based diet program designed to attain fasting-like effects while providing micronutrient nourishment (vitamins, minerals, etc.) and minimize the burden of fasting. It comprises proprietary vegetable-based soups, energy bars, energy drinks, chip snacks, chamomile flower tea, and a vegetable supplement formula tablet (Table S4). The human FMD diet consists of a 5 day regimen: day 1 of the diet supplies ∼1,090 kcal (10% protein, 56% fat, 34% carbohydrate), days 2–5 are identical in formulation and provide 725 kcal (9% protein, 44% fat, 47% carbohydrate)."

"Subjects in the FMD cohort consumed the provided experimental diet consisting of 3 cycles of 5 continuous days of FMD followed by 25 days of normal food intake."
To say that close to 99% use it is plain false. Having done research on the topic while writing a report for my old company when we were switching CAD packages, I can safetly say that Fusion360 and Solidworks make up an overwhelmingly majority of the market share. Some others include CATIA (used almost exclusively in the Aerospace sector), NX, BobCAD, Vectric Aspire, and Rhino3D. That's not to say AutoCAD (Autodesk are the company that makes the software afaik) isn't used; it's just dishonstest to imply that learning AutoCAD is all you need.

"Comparative advantage" has always embodied, to me, the difficulty with electoral politics. It's a fairly easy concept, taught fairly widely, yet almost no one really understands it and views the world through that lens. Most voters are operating without an understanding of comparative advantage.

Now apply that to dozens of other concepts in other fields. Same situation. It's depressing.
