The book, "The Switch" (Clement) is a nice synthesis of recent research on metabolic health. It presents a case that managing metabolic state can mitigate most of the risk of cardio-vascular disease, cancer and mitochondrial damage. Concretely, the book suggests: 1) keep insulin and IGF low through diet, 2) eat a 4:1 or lower ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats (to keep cell walls permeable), 3) do a fasting mimicking diet (FMD) every couple of months to trigger autophagy for cellular cleanup.

You can google FMD - the idea is to induce autophagy. This can be measured during the diet with some efficacy by measuring your glucose-ketone index. In theory, the body has the tools to clean and repair cells, including mitochondrial damage, through autophagy.

In addition to FMD, there are a number of autophagy supplements being tested following the 2016 discovery of the role of the cellular mTor switch. To me, the safety and science behind Spermidine is quite compelling. NAD+ plus precursors are compelling. Rapamycin, Metformin and other solutions that target the mTor pathway are also gaining funding and beginning more experiments.

Ketosis is important to the formula. Juv Labs recently introduced a di-ester exogenous ketone that is intended to promote ketogenesis in the liver, and produce endogenous ketones as well. Eating lower glycemic index foods (ie, down-regulate insulin) for a couple days while taking these supplements is a nice way to experiment with how your body adjusts to a ketogenic state. On the other hand, mono-ester exogenous ketones are more for exercise performance.

Lastly, the Bulletproof podcast is a surprisingly consistent (and understandable) source of biohacking and longevity information and discussion. Check out the recent discussion about NAD+ as an example. Rhonda Patrick's Found My Fitness is also an amazing resource.

A perspective :
Incentives, social proof and momentum are powerful things which might explain why this could still be applied in 2021 (I have no connection to Amazon or know anyone there so this is a theory). What do I mean?

Imagine you are a newbie who just joined a project that has successfully done what Jeff said in the memo. The success of undertaking that would have meant that your colleagues will want to continue doing this (threat of firing or not :) ) and pretty soon you'll get sucked into it and hopefully see the rewards of such design.

Soon, another team notices your team consistently getting things right and getting rewards so they have an incentive to follow (social proof). This becomes department wide next and so on. This is where momentum comes into picture. It is 2015 (let's say) and there are a dozen new departments. All of them reasonably want to get going quickly so they take up patterns that worked for other in the org. 6 more years pass by with more successes and there's no real incentive (at-least org-wide) to do something different to the one that works. My educated guess: The memo is still followed.

Thank you. That was amusing to read and I never actually realized there was so much about the pronunciation, I've heard a few different ones. but I always took it for regional dialect differences not something done intentionally. I may have sounded sarcastic, but I was genuinely serious, I really do enjoy the interesting factoids spawned by sometimes the most innocuous comments on HN. HN really does have a lot of people knowledgeable about a huge range of things.

https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/~axs/ and https://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/cogaff/ -- AI philosopher Aaron Sloman's ("disorganised") web pages. Brilliant examples of the charming mess that was so easy to create with 1990s plain html'ing. Impossible to navigate, but I still always want to go back, although I know next to nothing about AI.

Also, his sub-section titles like "Separate file listing main contents of this site" or "CONTENTS LIST (BELOW)" are hilarious in this context.

Oh, okay, this must be the real gem:

"APOLOGIES FOR MESS

This page badly needs reorganisation

My web pages started soon after the internet began, around 1992. Available tools were very primitive for a long time, and later I was too busy to do anything about reorganising the pages. An attempt to get external funding to help reorganise it was unsuccessful.

So here it is (above and below), and here and here and here and here and here and here and here and here."

Gotta love 1992 and prof Sloman's sense of humour!
I read that in an interview with Henry Ford, the interviewer tried to get Ford to justify why his labor costs were higher than other automakers and Ford stopped him and said his labor costs were actually the lowest, per unit.

Also same article said the pace of work in Ford factories was brutally unsustainable. Which might also be why he went to an 8 hour work day.

>Then the game added a bit more fire and stuff.

the 97 movie version of the novel 'Parasite Eve' had tons of fire, too. Pyrokinesis was a major thing in the movie (and in the game); maybe the game wanted to portray a similar visual continuity to the movie?

The New York setting of the game was a lot more interesting than the back-woods Japan 'BioLab' style setting of the movie.

For fun, the US is at 127%. Equity, debt, fiat, just rows in a database. If it doesn’t work out, what’s the worst that happens? We go back to few more hours a week? But if it does work, it’s time work evolves further.

They maintain value because a Sienna that's had an easy 100k miles with by the book maintenance is in much nicer shape and inherently has more life left than a Pacifica that was rode hard and put away wet over the same time period and distance.
The diameter of this asteroid is estimated to be ~160 km, which is 21.7 times less than Moon with d=3474 km. Assuming similar density, the mass of the new asteroid is 10000 less than Moon and it's unlikely to affect much.
I feel like anything the Japanese government does that only disincentivizes employees from overwork, without disincentivizing employers from expecting overwork, will only result in employees finding new and creative ways to overwork to appease their employers.
Lots of breakcore artists use trackers.
Only an owner would feel that way. Without significant equity, what's the point?

The worker gets nothing except less life and more stress. The owner sucks up all the benefit.
Different times. There was a time you needed hands on deck; you needed many many people doing hard, mechanic work.

This is a time where you need minds on deck. The "knowledge worker" as some places call it. You stretch them too thin and you get less for you money and time.

Is a 4 day week better? I don't know. But I know it's not the same context as it was too years ago.

> Nor do countries have an obligation to allow Apple access to their markets if Apple refuses to respect user freedom, should that be legally required.

Well, yes. Go look at China[0] and see just how far apple is willing to bend over backwards to stay in a market (although for China they pretty much had to unless they wanted to lose access to their entire existing supply chain). My point is that I should be able to purchase a device completely locked down and Apple should be allowed to make that device. People who don't like that can purchase something else.

I think more companies should (and probably will consider) 4-day maybe even 3-day workweeks as technology makes us more productive. Especially in industries that require deep thinking, the output doesn't necessarily scale with # of hours a worker puts in, not every hour is the same. I think 10 hours of highly productive work is much better than 40 hours of busy work.

Anecdotally, I managed to accumulate almost 300 hours of vacation time and now switched over to 3-day weeks at a big tech company for a while and even though I really enjoy my work, I feel much better this way and roughly at the same productivity, but a lot happier.
> Whether you keep the "real" item to wear or wear a counterfeit is inconsequential. The real value of the item passes along with the NFT to the new owner. The remaining item whether is real or not has vastly less value.

IE, it assumes that attaching an Hermes NFT to Birkin bags would cause Birkin bags to become worthless.

The reduction in incentive to counterfeiters is in direct proportion to a presumed reduction in value of the bags themselves.

I think the more likely outcome would be that the NFT is mostly worthless, but wherever things wind up, it remains as two seperate markets.

Hermes could probably get someone to pay for NFTs they create. Pretending they’re tied to their other goods just adds reputational risk.
Beyond Radical Candour
I second this. What i recommend: Paleo / Keto diet. Physical exercise. No sun screen in your face / around the eyes - get some direct sunlight for at least 10 minutes per day on your eyes. Throw away your sunglasses. Try it out. If you don't feel better after a while, go back to your old habits if you want.

>I don't buy this. It is simply a competitive advantage enabling those systems,

Someone like you was probably saying the same thing about ABS on a BBS back in 1996.

These features get implemented in the higher end segments of the market and then adoption plateaus.

Most people are not going to spend thousands of dollars to have a marginally better chance of a avoiding a "less than once in a lifetime" type accident. ABS is even more useful than that and its adoption plateaued before the feds mandated it.
In France there is a mandatory "map" where you can only send your kids to the nearest public schools.

So you've got "good" ones and "bad" ones depending on the neighborhood. So, yes, the best high schools are public, in areas with high rents and property prices.

Additionally, the best high schools select their students on academics, proof of residence, cover letter, letters from former teachers, etc. [1]

I believe it, I remember reading an article saying that there were 3 times as many small businesses in the 70s than there are today.

It makes sense. There are many requirements and licenses for to start hair salons, barbers, wanting to garden, etc the system is set up to support the established elite today. At least IMO.
You don't because there is a very very competitive market for counterfeits of these products. For some shoes there might be five or six counterfeiters competing so they may distinguish themselves with higher quality and uphold a reputation that way.

Then there is a whole community of people that evaluate which batches are of higher or lower quality. Personally I don't buy counterfeits at all, the hyped shoes nowadays are just reskins of old designs and aren't that comfortable or imo look that exceptional.

Certainly, don't buy counterfeits that plug into mains though, unless you really really really know what you're doing.
You're free to purchase something not locked down. If there's no market for a device like that, then you're out of luck.

Not a business owner, but I have a household.

There's always more stuff to be done and it needs to be done faster to keep up.

However I can't just expect everyone to keep "working harder" without sacrificing the household itself.

Just letting things lapse, optimizing for speed through technology, and lowering expectations (un)surprisingly end up with a healthy household.

Many companies would agree if you offered them to work 3 days a week for 60% of your salary. I've done it.
They're trying; they already punish employers whose reported timesheets show employees working above 40 hours/month overtime, and/or whose employees don't report taking off at least 5 days/year. This has certainly reduced reported overtime; the extent to which it has reduced actual overtime is disputed.
> In a two-body system it doesn’t matter what you do;

Two-body systems do not exist in reality.

Energy is also conserved in 3 body problems. When you utilize the slingshot effect, some of the energy of the orbit of the body you are swinging around orbiting is transfered to you. The transfer of this energy does not depend on the closeness of the sun, but rather on how deeply you descend into the gravity well of the object you are slingshotting around.

> which is a pretty safe assumption 11 AU out of Saturn doesn’t come close

No, it really isn't. The "safeness" of the assumption entirely depends on your margin for error. The existence of the naturally captured saturnian satellites clearly indicates that you are simply wrong about the relevant margins for error.
AWD vehicles need to have the same tread depth on all four tires to avoid differential damage but if the other three are still in good condition you can get the replacement shaved down to match. I have used that service from Tire Rack before and they do a good job.

It's an open secret at least in the tech world that absolutely no one is putting in a productive 40 hours of work a week. This was true well before the pandemic and is more pronounced than ever now. Everyone needs to be "present" for 8 hours a day 5 days a week, but spends their time in pointless meetings, preparing documents and powerpoints that no one will read, faux social/teambuilding events, hour long lunches, goofing off on the internet, all to maintain the pretense of office culture.

Companies that shuffle things up to prioritize productivity over simply showing up will be set to succeed over the next generation.

I loved my Metro. Got it for $500 and put $100 into a cylinder head rebuild. The sound of that 3 cylinder revving up is truly beautiful.

They definitely weren't set up for racing -- the whole front of the chassis would bend under hard braking. That hasn't stopped anyone from trying, though.

Perhaps the most inpressive group ever to race a Metro is the Knoxvegas Lowballers, who race in the 24 Hours of Lemons. They swapped a V6 from a Ford Contour and made the car rear engine and rear wheel drive. There aren't very many cars on the track who can keep up with a car with that power to weight ratio. It's a beautiful machine.

I think "pretty much everyone" is an exaggeration. Google's pronunciations (British and US) are both the 'anus' version -- though the British one has a secondary stress on the first syllable, rather than the schwa of the US version.

Growing up in Australia, the British 'you-ray-nəs' (i.e. not quite 'your anus', but only because of the first vowel sound) is the pronunciation I was familiar with. Lately I've heard 'you-rə-nəs' fairly often, but not exclusively.
