A lot of research on these topics assumes the existence of metabolic syndrome / syndrome x, which is a hypothetical syndrome that is the supposed to be the common cause of obesity, diabetes, etc. Metabolic syndrome used to be very mainstream but I'm not sure it's taken quite as seriously in the scientific community recently.

However, if you do assume the existence of metabolic syndrome, you can pretty much justify a link between anything that could potentially be its cause and obesity. For example, if seed oils cause some sort of metabolic dysfunction resulting in metabolic syndrome, then that would then result in obesity.

Obviously, if you assume that obesity is just caused by excess consumption of calories, and that obesity is then the cause of diabetes, and that there is no separate metabolic syndrome it becomes harder to justify this kind of theory.

That link doesn't explicitly use the terms "metabolic syndrome" or "syndrome x" but it seems like it is probably implicitly assuming its existence.
The study you have cited was entirely confined to 255 patients, all of whom required mechanical ventilation, 70% of whom died by day 90. That's severe COVID, not "prophylaxis."

ITER is generally expected to work, even though it's not an economically practical design. Since ITER was designed, better high-temperature superconductors have become available (Rebco tape), which makes smaller, cheaper designs with higher power density possible. Another new technology is FLiBe, a molten salt used to capture the energy from the reaction.

The MIT Sparc and Arc projects are one group's attempts at coming up with a practical design. They seem to be making steady progress.

A more persuasive argument would be something like:

Concede the point that the CCP has motivation to perform these acts, has the capability to hide these acts, and a reason to attempt to deflect any investigation which might reveal the acts. Maybe the CCP has provided free and unguided access of independent western journalists to these supposed camps, where they discovered nothing more than a shoe factory. That’s didn’t happen.

Unfortunately, without the free press investigating, the CCP opens themselves up to criticisms, that, based upon their historical actions, is hard to defend.
Fun fact. On export first gen Camaro you could save a few bucks by ordering them with seat belt delete (A48 option).
I don’t think criminalizing the victims recovery attempt is the best way to solve this.

Compare this to a street crime: One might say that muggers would be deterred if it were illegal for their victims to cooperate; if you have to fight back instead of handing over your wallet. But, at what cost for the victims?

If we don’t think that companies are doing enough to protect their systems, then we should pass laws that require certain demonstrable standards at all times. We shouldn’t wait for them to become a victim before the law requires them to do anything. It’s too indirect and situationally unaware of a solution.

I think laws should be written so it’s easy to know when you’re in compliance, and easy to know when you’re not. “Don’t get hacked” is basically an impossible moving target, particularly for small organizations. “Follow these best practices” is a much more reasonable standard. And we already have government organizations that put together standards for this, all lawmakers need to do is cite them.

Governments lied to people on health topics so many times already, so why should people trust them - from cigarettes, through lead gasoline, to saturated fats. We all get the theory of mRNA vaccines, but we tend to oversimplify the most complex system in the universe - the human body. There is evidence that these spike proteins don't just get presented on the surface of the cells but circulate in the bloodstream, cross the brain-blood barrier, and cause myocarditis. So, they are not exactly what we thought about them a year ago. Also, here on HN, several times was hypothesized that a retrovirus could indeed turn the RNA into DNA; although the chance is slim to none when you vaccinate billions, it will happen.

Note: I'm fully-vaccinated with Pfizer, but got severe palpitations for days after the first and second shots (which are symptoms of myocarditis), my wife had the same plus a pretty rapid heartbeat for 3 days, and I also got some never seen before skin issues (extreme dryness of certain areas of the skin.

Fully-vaccinated people still an spread the viruses, just not as well as unvaccinated, and people who went thru the course of the disease probably should not get vaccinated as they get a better protection (immune to more than the spike protein), and should spare the doses for the billions still unvaccinated. The drive to vaccinated people who had COVID-19 was an economical and political, not scientific. Removing the face mask mandate early is also non-scientific, but political and economical. So, why should we blindly trust authorities? The vaccine manufacturers have no liability, their practically have emergency use authorizations, not approvals either.

Using certified masks (like in some European countries), getting adequate Vitamin D3 (along with vitamin K), and zinc with zinc ionophores should have been #1 priority, but this basica and benign prophylaxis has been totally underplayed, which also contributes to the lack of trust in the government.
Cacao: Building native macOS (and iOS) Apps in Rust
In all of your comments here you're being pretty ridiculous - you've read some books and articles, but are painting stories here in such a credulous fashion that makes me think you haven't actually done much work with cells and viruses. I was a genetic engineer for 20 years and engineered plenty of viruses for therapeutics, including plenty of retroviruses.

The existence of reverse transcriptases in nature does not imply that there's a plausible path to an mRNA vaccine reverse transcription event, even the presence of a known reverse transcriptase in say, an HIV infected cell - they'll have radically different priming systems, etc.

We have plenty enough evidence for core molecular cell biology processes to call out some ideas as radically improbable.
APL’s verbs are geometrically suggestive. They are little pictures that represent what they do, and how they are related to each other. For example, ⌽ reverses an array along its last axis; you can see the array flipping around the vertical line. And you will know what ⍉ does without looking it up, I bet. These symbols are so well designed that you don’t have to memorize much, because they document themselves.
Apple juice is actually a clear example of the problem. Industrially produced fruit juices aren't at all like fresh-squeezed juice; the production process eliminates the actual juice flavor, requiring it to be manually added back just before bottling. If you see a juice bottle that lists "flavors" as an ingredient, that's what happened. You can find a bunch of articles on this (e.g. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/orange-juice-moms-secret-ingre...), although they tend to discuss orange juice as the example.

I don't want to claim that the popular concept of "ultra-processed foods" is super coherent, because I do agree there's not much sense in which a Twinkie is more processed than tofu or cheese. But there is a real problem that it seems like the researcher here is pointing at.

Changing and updating our beliefs as evidence comes in is a fundamental ability that underlies numerous activities from scientific research to debugging software to driving on a congested road network. Why is it a problem for public health officials to update and change policy as we learn more about the virus?

Would it really be preferable if policy remained frozen to whatever people thought best on day one?

You are sitting on a trillion dollar marketing opportunity here.

The problem is that our culture does not strongly encourage consumerism during work hours. Beyond a couple of decorative trinkets on the cubible walls, people don't spend much on or at their workplace.

Capitalism teaches us we must fix that glitch.

The right solution is to create a culture of "office bling". You don't want to be the only person in your office without a gold throne, do you? Are you really writing on the whiteboard with a fucking Expo marker from Office Depot when you could show your worth by using the new $17,000 Montblanc Whiteboard Excelsior?

I’ve never used Elixir, but when I saw piping into case statements I was confused as to why it’s appearing on a ‘do not use’ list. It does seem awesome! The key thing for error handling is to be able to do it inline, without introducing nesting, like those withs are doing. Maybe you don’t get that with case either. Does elixir have a return statement?
This is reporting 283 diagnosed cases versus 10-102 expected which is still a very small number relative to vaccine doses distributed. Also, causality is still not proven. Given the sample it could be that at least some of these are steroid users as that is also associated with myocarditis. Investigation is still very much just beginning, and in any case the numbers are so small that the vaccines still appear to be quite safe and very much safer than many other activities such as driving.

It seems like this is more of a critique on the tax-code than anything else. By not realizing any gains, and taking a small salary it seems like an exception to the tax code wasn't meant to handle. I think we can all agree that the tax code if full of cruft, and could use some refactoring.

Additionally, I would wager any amount of money that Bezos outsources his taxes to professionals. So his name is only used for click bait.

I also am confident Bezos paid sales tax, property tax, and other taxes during this period.

So if we as a society are not happy with our federal income tax code, we should revise it. (Wouldn't it be amazing if it worked more like an opensource project, where we could git blame and do some root cause analysis)

Sorry to hear about all that. I know it can be incredibly anxiety-inducing having any heart related issues, particularly at a young age when it's the last thing on your mind.

Frustratingly, it sounds like you've done everything you can. The ECG is extremely sensitive to any change in heart function so that's positive if it's showing normal results (was the only indicator for me - other than an MRI). Obviously you're still experiencing some symptoms, but between the ultrasound and stress test, they'd have seen if there were any structural abnormalities or any issues with function, valves, blockages, etc - so perhaps that's some reassurance.

Not to belittle from your experience in the slightest, but I wonder if you've considered other causes? Easy to think the worst but a surprising number of people end up in the ER suspecting heart attacks with only bad cases of heartburn (acid-reflux). Panic attacks are another common one. I only mention these as I think the anxiety and panic I experienced due to the stress was probably worse than the actual condition.

I think that's an unreasonable assumption, cup noodles sure, but for chips and frozen pizza it's obviously a question of quantity and people who work long hours end up forced to resort to these to just get calories in at the end of the day.
I'd say it's more than messy, it's a disaster. There are reasonable solutions to internet+sales tax, but the current situation is not one of them.

If you collect the tax, you need to remit it. The transaction/amount limits are the limit where you should register, collect, and remit. And usually this is a one-way affair; once you're registered, you'll need to keep filing even if you fall below the threshold.
It may not be a bad candidate for writing the rust part in python and then running it through py2many to generate the rust.
It seems that they were combating phishing sites. A comment from the field trial's code:

Why is this not on the frontpage anymore?
From the bug:

> we'll have study participants exploring the prototype in lab/survey studies, and we will also roll it out to a small % of real Chrome users to understand if it helps protect them from phishing. If the results show that this simplified domain display does help protect users from attacks, then we'll make a decision about whether to ship it to all users, balancing user feedback with the security considerations.
> The mRNA vaccines don't have any impact worse than a sore arm.

Lets not go too far with statements like that. People with history of allergic reactions are told to not take it, and the Pfizer–BioNTech mRNA has a rate of about eleven cases per million doses of vaccine administered.

As with any medicine, there are a risk/reward aspect to it. If you take a over-the-counter pain pill there is a small but detectable risk of getting a serious side effect. Most people still take it because the reward out weight the risk.

I would rather go with the carrot then the stick when it comes to getting people vaccinated. Getting a vaccination protects against some of the really unlucky consequences of covid, including permanent injuries like decreased lung capacity. The risk involving the vaccine is to my understanding much lower, so the math comes out in favor of the vaccine.
