>I was always very slender in my life

Have you ever considered that some people are genetically predisposed to being overweight, just like you are probably genetically predisposed to being slim? I'm not saying that's the only reason--obviously exercise and diet play a huge role--but not everyone is starting from the same baseline here.

I would guess probably the biggest reason for people being overweight in the US is the abundance of cheap and delicious food and alcohol. It's simply really easy to become overweight living in the US.
> The drug, semaglutide, works by hijacking the body’s own appetite regulating system in the brain leading to reduced hunger and calorie intake.

So the same weight loss can be accomplished by simply eating less.

Intermittent fasting is great for that[0]:

> I prefer the daily method: Fast for at least 16 hours per day. The aforementioned New England Journal of Medicine study was based on an 18:6 structure: 18-hour fast, six-hour window.

> "16:8 is a great place to start," Stephens says, "but it may not be a weight-loss window for many people. That's because fat-burning ramps up between hours 18 and 24 of the fast. 19:5 was a great weight-loss sweet spot for me, and I lost at about a pound per week when doing it. With 19:5, you fast for 19 hours a day and have an eating window of five hours. Your sweet spot may be different from mine, of course. Maybe it will be 18:6 or 20:4." Experimentation is key, she adds.

It's easy to dismiss people as gluttonous slobs, but the reality is more complicated. Metabolic rate is a big factor: we've all known people that ate with no limits and didn't work out yet were always in shape, as well as people that always watched what they're eating, tried working out and still couldn't lose the pounds.

It takes a lot more willpower and self-control to stay healthy if you're in the 2nd category (Source: I'm fat and lazy).
That's what I'm trying to understand, and how it's the majority of people.

> The most important one is the wrong optimization for promotion.

As a CEO, it is literally his job to ensure that promotions are aligned with company goals. At Google, VPs have final say on every single promotion. If there were people who were getting promoted under his command for stupid reasons, he was literally the person who could stop it.
Sadly I totally agree with you, it is true.

There is a social element to that equation though, which is why management in this particular type of situation has the tendency to so often turn into a "cool club" of people who do everything together, hack on the weekends together, drink after work together, etc, and thus the work/life balance only gets worse as the cycle repeats and new managers are initiat...I mean, hired. Because it's in their personal best interest to keep up this culture.

If a genetic factor leads to increased sensitivity to hunger or feeling hungry more often / being less satiated by food, then isn't that a genetic factor that is likely to directly influence a person's choices vis-à-vis food intake? Note I don't know whether that is the case.
No, Apple has been pestered to make the iPhone an open platform from day one. They’ve consistently said no.

I bet you’re right about the motivation for this silly outrage: People claim the iPhone is a PC because they wish it to be, because the cognitive dissonance was so great when “Open didn’t always win”
Bupropion gave me a psychotic episode, and to be clear I have never had anything like that happen before or since, which made it even scarier. The straight razors I had in my house were calling out to me, so I threw them behind the refrigerator so they couldn't get me. Then I had to call my mom and cry in a ball for three days before I started feeling better. It was absolutely terrifying.
Ha, thank you!

> Re: recipes

You don't have to use recipes. Recipes simply package a number of manual steps into a single automated command. Recipes let you install a library without looking up the install docs.

Recipes are roughly "install dependencies + codemods". So for example the `chakra-ui` recipe installs the needed dependencies and adds the theme provider to your app root.

There's currently zero coupling with recipes. The end result is exactly the same as if you did everything manually.

> Re: API-only

Currently you can do that. You can use the API routes (which give you direct access to Node req, res objects. And don't add any pages (or just a few, as you want).
On a traditional PC, or on a Mac with System Integrity Protection disabled, there isn't a lot Epic could do to prevent installing mods. The user can inject whatever code they like into the Fortnite process. They can rewrite data in memory, and even control the kernel if it comes to that.

Epic could try to make life difficult for modders, but a lot of PC games have tried that over the years, and it generally doesn't work when players are dedicated.

For the record, I am not one of the people downvoting you. To address your question, this is not a U.S. problem. This is a modern dietary problem. Some countries are just late to the game and the stats have to play catch-up. People are eating a lot of sugar, processes foods, alcohol, excessive carbohydrates, basically sugar sugar and more sugar. This spikes insulin and eventually the cells in the body become resistant to the hormone. It take a while for this to reach the stages of metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes or diabetes. Because of the time it takes, people do not associate the bad behavior with the bad outcome. Most are either unaware or in denial. [1] The report is from 2017, but this problem is only getting worse and it is not limited to the U.S. It is also not limited to people that are overweight. When people have any of the previously mentioned conditions, the liver becomes fatty. Eventually the liver starts putting fat into other parts of the body. Sometimes it is super obvious large belly but sometimes the fat is stored around the internal organs. This is actually very dangerous, not because of weight, but because of the increased risk in cancer. Working out is a great thing to do, but it will never account for more than about 15% of weight loss. The rest is related to environment and dietary intake, or lack thereof. So many are in denial or unaware that even talking about this in a public forum quickly becomes taboo and results in emotional responses.

There are some foods I just can not stop eating. The Lindt chocolate balls are a prime example.

The only thing I can do is keep unhealthy food out of the household, which was easier when I was single. Now that I'm married, with kids, and a wife that likes to bake, it's much harder.

BUT: I get that "I find it unbelievable that people find it difficult to watch" feeling when I watch an alcoholic polish off a bottle of booze, or when I see someone with a substance abuse problem polish off a bag of an illegal substance.

Turns out that a lot of people have issues with self-control. I guess I'm lucky that my self-control problems are just food. Could be worse.

A great book I read called Bad Buying by Peter Smith covers most of the issue. If you want success, you need to ask the right questions, define success criteria, contract properly etc.

On the one hand it is good that they recognise that big wins often involve big risks. On the other hand, it is important that they decide how to tell the difference between great potential and milking the cash cow.

As long as they have an independent ethics group who can make sure nothing untowards happens, it might be OK!
Well there doesn't seem to be much data, hence my original comment. My assumptions are based primarily on my own anecdotal observation. I work a relatively low wage job with a lot of relatively low wage coworkers. Most of them make a deliberate effort every day to do as little work as possible, to the point that it occurred to me that they might be engaging in more effort than if they just did their jobs anyway.

I'm not minimizing wage theft. It's a real issue. I'm just casting some doubt on the claim that it's the biggest form of theft by bringing light to a viewpoint most people haven't even ever considered.
Residential steam boilers are pretty rare these days. Generally hot water heat uses circulation pumps (which draw less than a forced air blower, but still have a non-trivial continuous current draw)

just a little bit more detail:

miners are timestamping machines, which main function is to order (!) the transactions. That's it!

The is the whole point, everyone/every node verifies the rules, but the network has to agree on some ordering, as they could be many possibilities to order the transaction, and the network wouldn't know who to listen (everyone has his own opinion about the best ordering). So the "lucky miner" extends the blockchain effectively ordering the new transactions.

If the miner increases the supply or doesn't follow any other consensus rule, other nodes won't accept it. So the miner has not much power. He orders transactions
I personally find it unbelievable that people don't understand how complex of a topic this is.

For example, you cannot explain why people are overweight people by saying they are:

- generically stupid

- ignorant

- lazy

- self-deprecating

- biologically inferior

- weak willed

Clearly there are other more fundamental issues involved. What psychological needs and stress are involved? What environmental factors are present (or missing)? I think that to a degree you can generalize this to things like drug consumption and addiction.

I believe people have their agency and I greatly admire those who start and sustain significant health improvements of any kind. There is a reason there are so many self-help charlatans: the real key to unlocking success is complex.
>defamation lawsuits

>copyright

>local city's taxi medallion scheme

Arguably the three areas of law where special protections & privilleges got expended so far, repeatedly and over decades, as to create ample opportunity for easy arbitration. Especially in case of copyright and taxi medallions, mafia-like structures were created through very one-sided markets; the only distinction from mafia being that those were gradually introduced through layers upon layers of legislation.

The fault, if any, lays with the legislators. The tangible result of tech businesses is cheaper music for the consumers and cheaper transportation for the consumers.

>special protections for local businesses online

Good luck with that./s France also tried similar legislation, targeted specifically at extracting more tax revenue from Amazon under the guise of "protecting local bookstores". That's neither moral nor productive.

Nope.

How exactly is Elixir "a worse Lisp than Python"?

Elixir is a functional language and it even has Lisp-style macros.
More than that even... I spent 4 semesters learning scientific computing in FORTRAN in school. As soon as I graduated, my go to language for prototyping stuff and frankly 99% of projects became and is still python (or c++ for microcontrollers).

The reasons are simple:

1. Lots more help and examples available online for python compared to FORTRAN.

2. Python is performant enough, 99% of the time if you make even a vague attempt to appropriately vectorize your code and/or use the right libraries and techniques.

3. Solving a well defined problem in any language is easy enough. What's hard is getting to that well defined problem, and that often involves playing and tweaking with things until you wrap your head around the problem space. Python saves me a lot of time so I can iterate faster by avoiding stupid errors and having much lower boilerplate overhead where stupid errors can really propagate into hard to follow error messages down the line.

Python just is a lot more intuitive. I don't have to waste nearly as much time on off-by-one and other stupid errors because my indexing was fucked up. So I can spend most my time on thinking about the stuff that really matters rather than implementation details.

That said, I can write some lean and mean FORTRAN if I really need to, and I'm ok with c++ when I need to be too. In reality though, most of my workload isn't that computationally intensive, and even when it is, most of the hard parts have been outsourced to c++ behind the scenes anyway. I can't even remember the last time when my computational need was bad enough that I considered writing my own fortran.

Microcontrollers are a different story. Trying to use python for that seems like a dumb idea, but I know MicroPython is a thing, though I'm skeptical of the whole concept to be honest. You're so close to the metal at that point that why would you want to abstract it away?

Not a designer, but by digging around in the Twitter thread, it looks like Facebook adopted this visual style in 2017 [1], and pretty much everybody else followed suit.

It's always like this. Some company puts out a new, carefully thought-out "look and feel" that feels fresh. Then the literal rest of the world, instead of actually studying why the new thing works and how it can be adapted to other context, starts flooding the world with quick copycats. See, e.g., BMW's "flat design" logo [2], or the "Web 2.0" aesthetics of pointless reflections and glassy UI elements.

Working in a corporation where I’m already adequately challenged by the work, is there any other goal to strive for except promotion and compensation increase?

Once you are at the level where your compensation covers everything you want, it’s more of a game to increase it than necessity.

It also makes me feel better since a lot of people I don’t respect earn a lot more than I do, so increasing relative compensation is righting something in the world :P
