> No, I'm saying that it is the cause.

Well, then I disagree. There's people getting no diabetes even though eating a lot of sugar and I bet there's also a lot of people getting or having diabetes without eating any sugar.

> This constant caloric surplus is what leads to obesity

I don't think that's how it works. Point in case: if I eat two same things, once having sugar, the other one not, then I feel full quicker and longer by the one that contains sugar. That does not mean that sugar is healthy, I believe it's the opposite, but you can't just say that sugar is _the_ thing that leads to obesity. If anything, it is a surplus of calories in general, but that can happen without sugar and it also doesn't explain how it even comes to this surplus.

To me it honestly feels as if you are just trying to make your life easy by finding an "easy" solution.

> The added sugar is why the food contains so many calories. If you remove the sugar you remove the additional calories. You don't need to tax everything. Just the sugar.

Replace sugar with fat and the same is true, no? So tax added fat as well? How about protein then?

> Because people eat until they are satiated and unfortunately sugar does not make you feel full

Oh, as I said, it definitely makes _me_ feel full though. Maybe you meant "doesn't make you feel as full as other things"? Well then I might agree, but here it becomes complicated - if you are actually consequent, you would not tax sugar, but things that "make you not feel as full", don't you agree?

> This is not a gut feeling. Sugar is a high caloric food and the consumption of too much of it causes spikes in insulin that can lead to insulin resistance that in turn causes the pancreas to produce more insulin

You just said something very important: "too much". But what is too much? That question can't even be answered in general, because, for example, it is different for someone lying on their couch the whole day and someone doing extreme sports.

The thing I love most of these is how ridiculous the “company culture” looks on those abandoned walls. Like the awards and recognitions in the cabinets that no one bothered to take with them.

How utterly useless those are to company culture is made evident by how pathetic they look now, just left behind and meaningless.
That is because Apple cables suck. They don't do strain reduction properly (which many people tend to solve by adding it themselves using shrinkwrap or the spring of a ball pen).

Other manufacturers don't put design functionality over styling and therefore add propper strain reduction even if it looks less elegant.
> it's absurd to think you have, or even deserve, to use someone else's property for whatever you want

How you read this into my comment is beyond me. An employee cannot use the company-provided resources in whatever way they like. If they do, that's grounds for termination.

German labor laws recognize that total surveillance is not aligning with the values of a free society. Life does not stop at work, every company event should tell you that. Instead there needs to be indications that the employee is acting in bad faith, then the employer can "surveil" the employee in a limited fashion, like read work emails (not private emails) or search their desk. The same as police cannot search you whenever they like without reason.
There are still chargers with various types. They are slowly converging onto Type2 / CCS, but it's still not a given.

True, I consider those things to be established to this day.

Regarding cholesterol and dietary levels to serum levels, it's curvilinear. If you have a low baseline, dietary input has a strong impact on serum output. If you are eating a standard American diet that has a relatively high baseline cholesterol level, the relationship weakens to being statistically insignificant.

And sure, you can get fat without eating fat, and you can create high fat diets that don't increase visible body fat, but those aren't healthy diets.

“Nalgene subsequently adopted Tritan, a BPA-free copolyester made by Eastman Chemical, as a substitute.“ - From the Nalgene Wikipedia article.
It's a huge security risk to add a keylogger. It's also a deep invasion of privacy and compromises the ability of employees to conduct private one on ones, which are important for the mental well-being of a company of people. Imagine working from an office with a microphone attached to your desk that pipes everything you say to your boss, your boss's boss, all the way up the chain. People need to vent. Sometimes people need to waste time and shoot the shit about things unrelated to work. People need to be able to discuss things in private without fear. Otherwise the culture will descend into a constant state of paranoia and dysfunction.
This is the worst kind of article. It lays on the fear porn thick:

"Your child will just not get on the ventilator, your child will be CareFlighted to Temple or Oklahoma City or wherever we can find them a bed, but they won't be getting one here unless one clears"

The article falsely makes it seem like children are dying of covid, when their hospitalized and the actual claim being made is that if you're in a car crash your kid won't get the treatment it needs.

It states 11,000 hospitalizations in the state, and then berries at the end that there's 323 open ICU beds. Elsewhere talk to this article is the gem that it's summer and people are going on vacation, nurses and doctors, and so this is actually a managed shortage, and doctors and nurses can come back from vacation early if there's actually a problem.

Nowhere does it State how many unstaffed beds are available.

And all from a judge.

I don't find it contradictory at all; in fact I would be surprised if it were any other way. There is a single unbroken thread of policy positions linking white paternalistic slave owners[0], to white paternalistic parts of the abolitionist movement, to white paternalistic policies of today. You can argue that this is outrageous and unbelievable, and look, I wouldn't disagree except that when you look at the world through this lens you will no longer be surprised by the policy and behavior of this group, only saddened.

"Diversity and inclusion" is, shall we say, the happy side of that movement; the part of that movement which is prominent throughout the intervening years in between abolition and whatever the fuck is happening this century. While diversity holds its memetic ground, I have not heard "inclusion" used in reference to a policy position in many years.

His achievements are great, but the only reason why he could this without a cleanroom and with less pure chemicals is that he succeeded to find on eBay a batch of silicon wafers with the MOS gate oxide already grown on them.

Growing the MOS gate oxide without extreme cleanness has no chance of succeeding.

The difficulty of this process has caused a delay of many decades between the time when the MOS transistor was first imagined (in 1928 by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, then also in 1935 by Oskar Heil) and the time when working MOS transistors were made for the first time, around 1960.
Do you not use motions? I use stuff like `dfXa` where X is the character I want to delete to, for example. I could do 23x, d6w, or d/foo<CR>, depending on the information I have, either way this is light-years faster than what I can do without motions. Macros and programmability are great, but they are more for boilerplate stuff than just one-off mangling text fast. You can also hit the arrow keys in sed mode to reuse old commands, a lot more painless than recording and storing a macro in my imagination.
Years ago, when I perhaps more naively believed in the benevolence of Google, and that wisdom of the Elder True Nerds who worked there would lead us to The Future, I might have applauded them throwing their weight around doing something like that. Possibly with a condescending paternalistic attitude like, "dragging the unwashed masses kicking and screaming into the the future they're too stupid to realize just yet that this will be better for them."

I am no longer so young and naive. Now, there is no doubt in my mind that such a move by Google or the other tech giants would not be made out of benevolence, but because by doing so, somehow, would net them yet greater control over the flow of information across the world. Whether out of an authoritarian desire architect society the right way this time, or chasing their profit margin as far down the asymptote as they can measure, the resultant 1st through Nth order effects would probably be the same for the rest of us.

And if those are all that's left that meet your criteria for a non-abusive platform, then... well, that's what you've got to work with. Maybe try to improve those non-abusive platforms.

I'm rapidly heading there. I'm pretty sure I won't run Win11 given the hardware requirements (I prefer keeping older hardware running when it still fits my needs) and the requirement for an online Microsoft account for Win11 Home (NO, and it's pretty well stupid that I have to literally disconnect the network cable to make an offline account on Win10 now, and then disable the damned nag screens).

If Apple is going full in on this whole "Your device is going to work against you" thing they're trying for, well... I'm not OK with that either. That leaves Linux and the BSDs. Unfortunately, Intel isn't really OK in my book either with the fact that they can't reason about their chips anymore (long rant, but L1TF and Plundervolt allowing pillage of the SGX guarantees tells me Intel can't reason about their chips)... well. Hrm. AMD or ARM it is, and probably not with a very good phone either.

At this point, I'm going down that road quite quickly, far sooner than I'd hoped, because I do want to live out what I talk about with regards to computers, and if the whole world goes a direction I'm not OK with, well, OK. I'll find alternatives. I accept that unless things change, I'm probably no more than 5-10 years away from simply abandoning the internet entirely outside work and very basic communications. It'll suck, but if that's what I need to do to live with what I claim I want to live by, that's what I'll do.

"I think this is a terrible idea and I wish Apple wouldn't do it, but I don't care enough about it to stop using Apple products" is a perfectly reasonable stance, but it does mean that Apple now knows they can do more of this sort of thing and get away with it. Good luck with the long term results of allowing this.
> For the businesses paying FAANG salaries, its not true, or they would be paying lower salaries and accepting not getting quite at the top of the human talent pool.

Maybe, but the FAANG interview process is pretty noisy, also not everyone at Google works on search, there's plenty of basic/repetitive work. In any case, AI coding will probably accelerate the bifurcation of compensation that we already see today - a small percentage will have even higher compensation but the majority will see lower compensation and higher competition.

> But when you are automating programming, that transfer is (on a broad scale) something of a no op.

I don't think this is quite right. Every rung of the ladder up the abstraction stack - from punch cards to assembly to compiled languages to interpreted languages - is qualitatively different. Even today there are separate people doing assembly on embedded devices vs web dev, and there's almost no overlap in skills.

AI coding will be another step up the abstraction stack, and I'm predicting that it will be qualitatively different as well. ie. there will be a different group of people who excel at this type of coding, once the syntax becomes irrelevant. What it means to be a good coder will be different in this domain as well, probably with more focus on soft skills.

Public auctions (which they didn't use) are currently in the $45-50 per IP ballpark. At that price it's $247.5 million worth of IPs.

At auction the larger networks tend to go for less money per IP since there is a smaller market of people who want and can buy them (you have to be approved by ARIN/RIPE/etc. for the allocation size), which drives the price down.
Problem with CGNAT is the costs involved in bookkeeping for law enforcement.

Where an IPv4 solution for your clients only needs change-logging on IPbinding-to-client level, the CG-NAT requires you as an ISP to log every outgoing IPv4/port combination with timestamp to client mapping.

Which requires A LOT more storage and much more expensive equipment.

Going rate per IPv4 is up to $40 nowadays, selling of your v4 block might not be cost-efficient.
I thought ISPs were actually doing pretty well? Big corps are moving slowly but I think it's mostly limited to internal NATted networks, which frankly nobody has an incentive to upgrade. We're getting there... slowly.

The biggest problem with these sorts of “cloud agnostic” approaches is that one is limited to only fairly basic architectures on broadly monolithic apps. The second you want to do something more in depth or customized then this model falls apart quite quickly and you’re back to square one real fast.

If you really just want a basic website and that’s all you’ll ever do this might work but outside that pick a platform and build natively to get the full benefits of that platform. People like to talk about wanting to be cloud agnostic so they can switch workloads quickly etc. In practice few really do that since the pain imposed by building to the least common denominator is vastly worse than the “benefit” of mitigating some perceived “risk.”
What's the cutoff for larger networks where the price starts to go down? Would say, a /16 count? Or does that effect kick in as low as, say, a /20?

That's a common and probably valid in general way to look at westerners. However another reputable source said something to this extent: people in Asia have the right culture, the right mindset, but they have it too easy and their progress is so slow; westerners, on the other hand, are so immersed into materialism, their mind is so busy with shiny things, that they have no time for things that matter and their society is unsuitable for anything spiritual, but it is for this reason any achievement on the west counts as many on the east.

My opinion about this meditation thing is that there's something in it, but telling people not to try because it may accidentally destroy their mind is laughable. By the time one develops will so strong and concentration so stable that it may cause issues, one must already be knowledable enough.
