Meatless is the new “low fat” boogieman.

Coincidentally, industrial food producers have discovered that it is cheaper and more profitable to sell ground up peas and plant oil as “meat”, water rinsed through oats as milk, etc.

All of the “problems” with meat are market issues. Animal welfare issues are due to industrial farming practices, which will get worse if the industry declines. Land use and environmental issues are all about the market conditions, which are literally putting sustainable meat and dairy business out of business.

The “solutions” of fake substitutes are PR driven narratives.
I take processed meat to mean deli meats, bacon, and cured ham. Additives are one of the things that make them damaging.

Is a filet mignon, ground beef, or chick thighs processed? Sure. But i don't think that is what we're talking about here.
If you eat almost exclusively red meat, and not the things that commonly go with it, it’s quite hard to get fat. Meat is very very satiating.

I doubt it. The WHO recommendations are based on extensive research linking red meat consumption to increased risk of colorectal cancer. This article explores the association of meat consumption with various non-cancer conditions.

Isn't it more "eat red meat if you want, just don't BE fat?"

I mean a person can eat a hamburger a day and still be thin, in my experience it's the fries, coke, twinkies and pop tarts and stuff that make you fat.

The Missing Piece in DevSecOps
I'm just gonna say it: epidemiological studies suck and we need something better.

Humans and their lives are just too multi-variate, even with nearly ~500k people in a study.

All you end up with are correlations – I've basically never seen a study like this that manages to demonstrate causality convincingly.
Good study! Results aren't terribly surprising, but verification needs doing too!I for one applaud it!
People say Bitcoin, but really they mean the success of cryptocurrency. There are more mechanisms than just proof of work.

Stop Being so Polarised all the Time
Right... I was thinking the other day, crypto ain't no solution for everything, so is no gold and fiat is just bad in long-term. The entiry economy is so broken, corrupt and one big scam and only the rich get richer and the poorer get poorer. I'm in crypto since 2015, so with gold and stocks. Made tons of money and yet I still think that the economy is one big scam. I don't trust money, I don't trust gold and neither do I trust crypto, and whilst we can say that these resources are very secure, they can be manipulated with very badly.

Crypto would possibly be great, not until the big players got in and now it no longer is money but rather investement thing. (Hold for 5 years get rich!) wtf?
Right, I also hold bags, but it has just taken very different approach.
Perfect example of Dunning Kreuger! To answer your question you could get a physics textbook. The numbers I provided you are the official numbers. 610 pascals, or 0.088% earth pressure. A stuffed bear with a normal parachute would hit the ground at terminal velocity with only 600 pascals of air buoyancy.
It's the role of science to be as accurate and precise as possible, and the vast majority - perhaps even all of them - fail to take into account enough variables to make it actually relevant; e.g. observational studies that target red meat being eaten don't usually differentiate from a healthy diet with red meat, high fat vs. low fat meat consumptions, nor account for what else a person is eating - e.g. ketogenic diet, if no sugars/carbs, etc.
Here in Czech republic / Slovakia it's enough to read the label - if it says fresh meat, it's unprocessed meat. If it's processed, the label cannot say fresh meat anymore, it has to say meat product.
Lets follow this logic - are mobile phone providers free to deny service to people that critisize them publically for traking their movemwnts and selling data? Can they collate a blocklist of people they don't like and make sure you get no service anywhere?

Can Banks, insurance firms, water and electricity companies do the same?

Can they phone up your internet provider and offer to pay them twice whatever you pay just to terminate you internet connection? Doesn't the internet provider have the right to choose whatever is best deal for them?

I can confirm this. I literally had zero natural aptitude for dreams and when prior to achieving my first consciously induced lucid dream, thought for a long time that I stopped having dreams (in reality I just was not recalling them).
The biggest problem with the way we list the last price of assets is that the price listed is only the price of one unit. In reality, if all bitcoins were sold, the money recouped would be considerably less than last price * num coins. Perhaps this is already a solved problem via some metrics that I'm not familiar with.

Because we only use last price to evaluate assets, small changes in demand and last price can have considerable effects on overall valuations, even though (I think) the total value of the asset is not much different.

A simple example of the idea is this: I have 100 ecoins and I want to sell them. They are the only ecoins in the world. I sell the first for 100; the next, I have fewer buyers, so I settle for 99... etc all the way to 1 for the last. The initial valuation, based on last price, would have been 100*100 = 10,000. The actual cash recouped was 5,050. Obviously volume has an impact, and in reality prices are generally more stable and the whole process is much more complicated but you get the idea. But if bitcoin / gme / tesla have taught us anything, it's that price can remain irrationally high indefinitely because of the way wealth and money can be moved around and there's no urgency to use it (due to lack of taxation).

Artificial inflation/manipulation of assets seems like a great argument for wealth taxation. It would discourage tying up liquidity in bad assets and encourage better investment.
People were saying the exact same things about the heavy industry boom of the 1950s and 1960s yet a lot of the technical advances of the time underpin our life today.
It doesn't change your argument indeed, it helps it.
There’s really nothing stopping one developer from pushing a commit purporting to be from another developer. You can put any name or email address you like in each commit. However, that’s something that should be caught during review, so it’s not much of an excuse.
That makes no sense. Current tax systems assumes that only people are taxed at the end - taxes such as VAT are in practice paid only by end consumer. Company taxes disincentivizes "taking profits" out of the company by not taxing expenses - wages, investments, costs of doing business. And they should properly exclude personal tax dodges, such as creating fake company to buy house and live in it.
In what jurisdiction(s)?

Right. It's forward looking, based on data available and projections. Doesn't mean it's always correct.
And even with the confounding factors the increase in risk is 7% to 44% (with means for various diagnoses varying from 15% to 31%). But the study summary doesn't indicate what the rate of those diseases in the study sample population is; i.e. for example an increase in the rate of diagnosis from 0.1% to 0.12% probably isn't going to bother most people.
It's great to see more PDF tools.

Many times I just want to clip white margins from PDFs so that it is easier to view on tablets or phones. Most viewers don't have a way to force the clipping of pages, so when you change page the zoom is lost and suddenly all the content is squished to center.

Last time I found cli programs to do it aprox. five years ago it was really difficult to find good tools to edit PDFs like that.

It's actually not trivial task, as sometimes pages have different margins, e.g. odd and even pages has different margins on folding side of page.

I've really taken to writing a lot of Hy [0] -- somewhat irresponsibly, since Hy is maintained by a ragtag band of brilliant mavericks; but `hy2py` works great if you `eval-when-compile` most of your macros. Anyway, Hy syntax is

```

rather than

```
with open(file,'r') as f:

I switch [1] to Python (often to write tests in a language the node.js crew will be able to skim) and the one thing that trips me always is the wrong ordering of the `with` statement in straight Python. You don't say `for range(10) as x`...

I'm Venezuelan, for me, getting paid in BTC is orders of magnitude easier than any other alternative.

Paypal closes your account (after letting you deposit some amount which they will hold for 6 months before letting you wire it out to some other normal bank account) if you're Venezuelan.

Transferwise doesn't even serve Venezuelans and when they decided to stop serving us, a friend got his account blocked (he signed up before they banned Venezuelans) and unlike Paypal they just kept the money with no option to withdraw it.

Venezuelan bank accounts cannot receive international wire transfers.

Colombia/Brazil, the nearest countries (a round trip could cost you less than $200 pre-pandemic) don't let Venezuelans open up bank accounts unless they got a residence card.

This is in part due to USA sanctions, but the Venezuelan government is also at fault too (currency exchange controls, etc).

Ironically, USA is where it's easiest for a Venezuelan to open up a bank account. But pre-pandemic you had to spend more than $1000 (now it's more) in travel and accommodation to the USA to accomplish this. Not to mention you need a Visa.

It's also relatively easy and cheap (less than $1k) to remotely open up a business + bank account, again in USA, and do business through there which is what people are starting to do now (even though it's been possible since years ago if I'm not mistaken).

This is what I'm about to do in order to be able to do business (i'm a freelance programming contractor) with my clients easier, but it's still more expensive and harder than just set up a wallet + a localbitcoins account.

Yes, my aunt isn't going to buy bread with bitcoin, we all know that, but thanks to bitcoin her daughter can get paid as freelance Graphics Designer by her clients. Lots of remittance going on through bitcoin too.
>In almost all cases the rental income will be higher than the mortgage payment

60% of Australian landlords claimed a rental loss in FY17/18 and that's not an outlier. [0]

In jurisdictions where rental losses can be written off against ordinary income, landlords are happy to collect the tax benefit and just do the capital play.

[0] https://www.theguardian.com/business/grogonomics/2020/jul/21...
Rent controls provide a strong disincentive for people to move, which prevents people taking jobs they might otherwise have taken. It's hard to estimate the overall economic cost of this, since the effect is diffuse, but it is likely significant.
Well, that is a different statement than what he is saying.
Watching a friend go through the process of attaining tenured position in Economics recently has taught me to never listen to Economists. They are all focused on impressing each other MUCH more than progressing Economics. And that's not even considering the Ergodicity crisis there.

Once you see the sausage being made, you realize "peer review" is a way to project power in academia, it is not about science.

Eric Weinstein has been talking about this lately, something he calls DISC "The Distributed Idea Suppression Complex". Some of his first hand stories are shocking, but are exactly the kind of thing those I know in academia tell me they face every day.
I just ran into Power Automate for the first time yesterday. The UI looks glitzy. I think many users are going to be vastly underwhelmed and frustrated when they start interacting with third-party software by way of hand-puppeting the Windows UI, though. The quantity of brittleness and sensitive dependence on runtime conditions that this tool is going to generate will be supreme.

A Customer (who frequently creates macro-laden Excel contraptions and byzantine nests of "linked" workbooks) was trying to automate some workflow between a third-party application and Excel.

The third-party application is a bit of a "platform" (a "let's re-invent Microsoft Access" data roach motel type application) and uses lots of owner-drawn controls masquerading as common controls (with no keyboard shortcuts). He was struggling to get the UI automation functionality to do what he wanted.

Having spent a "former life" writing VBScript automation code using "SendKeys", etc (and using various other macro automation tools) I explained that he was descending into the hell that is other people's Windows UI behavior, and that it often ends in frustration.

I expect that this platform will end up, like so many before it, being used to create inscrutable edifice in many companies. That edifice will be abandoned when the knowledgeable party leaves a company and nobody new wants (or knows how) to figure out how the junk works, or will become wildly mission-critical and have massive amounts of money poured into it to keep it working, lest civilization collapse (e.g. "The Machine Stops").

That means that a substantial proportion of the increased risk is explained by a higher BMI. Unfortunately the summary doesn't say how much "substantial" is.

As many have pointed out the majority of the debt goes into home ownership in the nordics. At least in 3 countries that I have lived.

And the prices are eye watering high for what is offered. In the main urban areas Stockholm/Helsinki/Oslo it is easy to find house blocks consisting of buildings with soviet style looks costing close to 500k USD. Weird floor planning and "dry" walls are the norm here.

One of the apartments I had did not have a window in the bedroom. How is that okay to build it that way? I don't know. Yes, there are laws against this but it does happen.

The construction, while not shoddy, does not justify the price alone and it seems construction companies are doing quite well between the pre-built structures and hiring immigrants to do some of the less qualified jobs.

If you can make a parity between salaries price of apartments/buildings in Southern Europe, Portugal/Spain/France, and in the Americas are better built than the ones here. And they come in other colors than brown or beige.

>IT people hate Excel because normal people can get work done

This is arguably more a business problem, but there's real issues when people coming/going and then having to get familiar with dozens-hundreds of spreadsheets. Maybe if they're good at Excel, they just pick it up easily, I dunno, but I've rarely seen stuff like confluence documentation and edit history and other supporting docs for spreadsheets that are critical to the company. It kinda feels like they rely more on tribal knowledge than devs.

Nothing about our languages or tools constrains devs to necessarily do this too, we've just got a culture of doing that stuff because we know how awful life is without it. Maybe it's different for spreadsheet people though. I could just keep the business code on a single hard drive and deploy by copy-pasting over a network share or through email, but you'd rightly call me mad.

Fresh meat can be processed by injecting it with water + various salts to bulk up the weight/volume by up to 15%. Depending on the legislature, it could be legally still considered fresh meat in some countries. See plumping: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plumping
