Can confirm, regularly ate 4,000-5,000 calories/day from ages ~13-22. Did some weight lifting for part of that time, a little bike riding, but wasn't a serious athlete, certainly. Was slim, at my slimmest drew comments sometimes because my face was so gaunt people thought I might be sick.

... Then all changed very abruptly (there was little transition, on the order of weeks). Basically had to get used to being hungry most of the time, to keep from shooting toward obese territory. Sucks. I mean, the stuff I was eating as a teenager was going to kill me early in life anyway so it's good I don't do that anymore (so much pizza, snack food, fried food, and soda) but I'm not sure I appreciated, at the time, how special it was to be able to down a large pizza, a couple orders of fries, a couple liters of soda, a bag of chips [edit: and not a single-serve bag...], a snickers, plus a pile of toast or eggo waffles, day after day after day, and still look quite good at the swimming pool.

Carbon Credits are a thing, but the fundamental problem is that one 1 of carbon credit isn't used to pull 1 ton of carbon out of the atmosphere. Instead they're like brownie points that politicians arbitrarily set the price on.

If there were some large scale way to scrub carbon out of the atmosphere then the market could work, but in their current state they are a joke.

The article mentions how important it is to keep availability status accurate:

Before I get into the solution, I should explain why
these renters have such persistent trust issues.
[...]
Because messaging/applications/leasing were all
on-platform for us, we could know when a lister was
unresponsive or a lease was signed. That insight naturally
allowed us to reliably prevent stale listings. Critically,
however, new renters to our website didn't know that. And
they wouldn't believe us when we said it. We were in a bit
of a pickle.

That is an ODR violation, although there are variations on this pattern that are not required to be detectable. Template instantiation is an easy way to get a silent ODR violation.
Yup, that's it. Every time you get hungry drink a tall (TALL!) glass of water and usually the hunger goes away and you end up being content with an appropriate amount of food.

Just being able to take your Apple device to a local repair shop, have it diagnosed and repaired while you wait, instead of driving through half the country and having to give up your device for days/weeks because Apple authorised repair centers are not allowed to keep spare parts in stock and have a whole backlog of repairs to perform.
> The libertarian viewpoint on this is that all initiation of force is criminal.

What count as initiation of force? If I walk into your house and take your things, am I initiating use of force? If I want to live somewhere where that is not the norm, how am I supposed to find that place? It seems very idealistic to me that such a place could exist without it being enforced somehow.

> instead seeking a place that honors private property and or paying for protection services as needed. Everything the government provides, a private entity can as well.

If that private entity makes that provision through the use of force, do they not then constitute a government of sorts? If they do not use force, then how do they manage to make that provision at all?
You're not going to feel the same, but I don't think anyone's ever shown that there's a meaningful difference in energy content in calories of different types.

So I think they'd have the same effect for weight loss, but maybe not health, and probably not quality of life (I think the person eating candy bars would feel pretty lousy).
Why is the propagation different during different times of day?

On that page, it says

> WWVB radio controlled clocks should be able to work in most places in North America. The red areas on the coverage maps below show where a WWVB radio controlled clock should be able to synchronize. Note that the red area is largest at night, and smallest in the daytime (click on the map to see a larger image). For example, 0600 UTC is about midnight in the central United States.
A simple ferrite rod antenna is the standard if you're in a covered zone. If you want to pick up distant signals you'll need something better. I've previously heard some amateur radio operators use many meters of random wires around one's backyard, that was what I imagined to be a "large antenna," so I didn't look further. But I just found an ARRL article [0],

> A long wire sometimes works if directly connected to the antenna jack on the transceiver. In reality, a 500 foot long wire is a very short wire (less than 0.1 λ) on 2200 meters. A preferable option is to use a small loop antenna and a preamp. These loops are generally about 2 meters in diameter, and a number of designs can be found on the LF Web sites. Unlike any practical wire antenna an amateur can erect, a loop will not take up much real estate and can be made directional to reduce interference. Once you have your antenna up and can receive commercial longwave stations such as CFH and DCF39, you have sufficient receiver sensitivity and you are now well on your way to receiving amateur signals on LF.

Looks like a small, 2-meter magnetic loop antenna paired with a preamp should work well. Perhaps I should give it a shot one day.

Of course, to transmit a signal (2200 meter is 136 kHz, which is an amateur band), it's a completely different story.

It really is that simple, as you said in your post. Your metabolism (rate of burning calories) is not constant. Your actual consumption of calories versus your actual burning of calories dictates weight gain or loss (barring degenerative diseases).

If you are 800 calories, and burnt 1100, you would lose weight slower than if you ate 900 and burnt 1300.
In terms of weight loss that is literally all that it is. Some ways of acheiving a calorie deficit are easier to maintain or better for your health but it is always the calorie deficit that causes the loss of weight. Take the example of this man who lost 27 pounds while only eating junk food.

> For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. To add variety in his steady stream of Hostess and Little Debbie snacks, Haub munched on Doritos chips, sugary cereals and Oreos, too. His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most -- not the nutritional value of the food. The premise held up: On his "convenience store diet," he shed 27 pounds in two months.

Don't use services that lock you in. Instead use a layer that abstracts that. In the past I think I have heard of people using Presto for similar operations and that can be self hosted. I would never build a company on top of tech I can only get from one place. Regardless of the layer in the stack.

If it's abstracted behind an agreed upon industry standard protocol (MySQL, pg, mongo connections or S3/NFS storage, etc)? Sure. If it's special sauce? No way.

My $Job-1 is migrating the stack I setup from Azure to GCP and it's been fairly painless from what I heard (only taking a few weeks to make an account, test, then move everything over).
Life-cycle emissions accounting is useful if we're considering technology options or feasibility assessment for a specific project. But the linked article isn't talking about any specific project. It's talking about whether geothermal is a good tech in general.

In that context the lifecycle emissions stats are less useful because the calculation assumes a rate of indirect emissions (due to construction, mining, refinement, containment, etc.) based on the incumbent power generation tech.

In other words, if geothermal power was more ubiquitous, then the indirect emissions for a new geothermal project would be lower.
From your first link:

>Con Edison urged customers across New York City and Westchester to conserve energy as much as possible, in an effort to avoid further outages due to equipment failure.

I can't speak to California as I don't live there, but your original statement about rolling blackouts in New York was flat wrong.

The recent issue in New York during the heat wave was about aging infrastructure and equipment failures, not "green energy" or the closure of Indian Point.

That might change in the future, but your statement that New York experiences "rolling blackouts" is just false.

In fact, there have never been rolling blackouts in New York. Ever.

I wholeheartedly agree that nuclear should be part of the mix and that in the absence of viable grid energy storage, solar and wind energy can't provide base load[0] power generation.

I had read somewhere that holding the boor close button along with your desired floor button will override the que in many elevators, taking you directly to that floor.

> Losing weight is just consuming fewer calories than you burn.

Of course. And your body is a dynamic system that changes how and where it uses and stores energy based on the source of the energy. Your body responds differently to 100 calories of table sugar compared to 100 calories of nuts.

I _lost_ weight by increasing the amount of food I was eating. Obviously this means that I had to start burning or otherwise shedding more calories otherwise we broke physics. It is important to note that "losing weight is just consuming fewer calories than you burn" is not the same as "eat less and you'll lose weight" since eating less can cause your dynamic system to require less calories.

Okay, that's just neat.

The wannabe electronic engineer in me cringes at all those wires connecting the 72-pin edge connector on the NES mobo to the 72-pin slot connector that receives the cartridge. At the signal speeds involved, any stray inductance and capacitance from such a setup probably doesn't matter. But, IMO, it would still be better to more directly connect the edge connector to the perf board, and then use the perf board itself for a shorter and more consistent wiring scheme. Or better yet, now that you know the spacing, draw up a mask and etch your own board. Such will reduce the likelihood of frustrating intermittent electrical gremlins in the future.

A lot of social circles live flat out in denial of the simple truth of weight loss and perpetuate the idea that it's not this simple, but it really is.

Genetics and medication might affect your appetite, metabolism, water retention levels, fat storage areas, ect., but at the end of the day one only needs to know one number and follow one rule to lose fat:

Number: Daily caloric expenditure

Rule: Consume items with fewer total calories than the above number

Measure weekly for best results.

Daily caloric expenditure can be approximated with heart rate data over a day and your height & weight.

The exact weight lost if it's only fat will be 1lb per 3500 kcal deficit.

You must consume 2g of protein daily per lb of muscle (approximating this requires calipers) to not lose muscle mass.

Water weight will vary, but over a week the number ought to go down if you're eating at an actual deficit.

You'll see the results in the mirror after a month if you actually do the above.
It's kind of miraculous that wristwatches can pick it up at all given how little space they can dedicate to an antenna. I live at the very outer Northwestern edge of WWVB's coverage, in the Seattle area, and my similarly equipped wristwatch reliably gets the signal -- but only at night, and, curiously, only if I'm wearing it! My theory, which I've never done any research on, is that the conductive metal backing of the watch allows some of my own body to serve as an antenna.
Or any other options for "small" batch sizes?
I think it would be a meaningful statement if 90% of advice about saving was some variation of “how to save money without making a budget!”

People seem to desperately want some trick to losing weight that isn’t “eat less food.” It won’t be forthcoming. You can’t trick your body into losing weight. We are adapted to scarcity, but food is not scarce.
Timetrack is a web application to handle an organization's employees' time keeping data. It is designed so that some employees will use their ID card to scan their clock-in and clock-out times. Others will be able to enter their time-in and time-out using the web interface directly. The system is designed to have two level approval process. The first is the group manager approval then the final approval is the director approval named 'Payroll Process Approval'. Currently the application handles two weeks pay period.

Edit: I started to wonder, isn't time keeping a solved problem with many commercial vendors and maybe even established open source? Why would a city roll their own? Does that make them more of a hack target (internally developed software weaknesses) or less (not being part of a monocoulture of zero-days)? What are their plans for long term (20+ years) maintenance?

It's important to keep active, possibly more active than you normally are. Make it a lifestyle choice so you can replace old habits.

Remaining fully sedentary and running a 1000 calorie deficit isn't maintaining a diet, it's starving yourself. You'll get the weight back as soon as you call the diet a success and go back to your 'default' lifestyle.

(This of course doesn't apply to everyone: medical reasons, disability, etc.)
You might be surprised how many people were helped by internalizing this simple noncircumventable truths.

I'm very interested in this. I think I'm the target customer and the loom demo made me think, "I need this." I work for a big company and have many meetings with many different stakeholders, and I love the incremental adoption where I don't have to persuade the company to buy something, I can just get it and plug it in for myself.

I have a blocker on plugging it in, though: we're a Microsoft Exchange shop. Now, it's easy to sync Exchange to my Mac calendar, but it is not easy to sync Exchange to Google calendar. (Googling, seems like the most reliable way is to PUBLISH your calendar... something I don't think my security / IT folks would appreciate.) I could also use Zapier it looks like, but I'd quickly run over the 100 tasks/mo in the free tier.

I have nothing against electron—power to you for solving a real problem I have, and using javascript to do it quickly. But I do think popping open EventKit to hook into the system calendar would be a solid next feature. Then people like me who are locked into Exchange will be able to use your product without ugly/brittle/security-degrading hacks.

Why is the propagation different during different times of day?

Welcome to the wonderful world of radio propagation. Different radio signals at different frequencies "bounce around" the world in different ways. LF (low frequency) which is where the WWVB beacon operates bounces off the ionosphere (refracts) and can bounce very long distances.

But the bouncing depends on conditions in the ionosphere which are affected by day/night cycles and sun cycles.

Dehydration can cause sugar cravings.
You're getting downvoted but the basic premise is correct. Eat less, lose weight. The problem is that most people do not have the mental/physical fortitude to follow-through with it, and I don't blame them because it is hard to change your lifestyle. Most of these weight loss programs, if they aren't outright scams, are just essentially giving people a framework for their weight loss journey because forming a habit for lifestyle change is the most important thing to staving off weight gain in the long term.
