One thing that is glossed over in this paper is the insulin-carb cycle, which affects obese people differently. When sugars are free in the blood stream, body fat gets preferential treatment in absorbing the extra blood sugar and converting it into more fat over everything except the brain, heart and lungs. Quick Edit: Muscles that currently have glycogen depletion seem to have precedence over fat cells

This makes sense as in a normal body it's more akin to recharging the batteries so that you have energy on standby once your muscles burn through their glycogen stores.

But, body fat in obese people is more like a parasite than an energy store, and since our body never destroys the fats cells it has created, even losing the weight means carrying around a hungry parasite that will feed itself any excess that you consume and will make you want to consume excess all of the time since insulin disrupts the Ghrelin hormone that indicates satiety.

Its why you can put weight back on so much more quickly if you were previously fat than if you were trying to gain weight.

Any form of diet and exercise alone will not resolve this issue. The only thing we have for now is to use liposuction or RF modulation to kill or remove the excess fat cells from the body, surgically excising the parasite from you.
The US has spent considerable time and money to add backdoors to any piece of software & hardware that exists out there. So, i'd imagine, VPNs to be high on the list because of their nature.

I would not trust VPNs for any kind of serious privacy, at least not the popular ones. Maybe some small niche VPNs can fly under the radar.

I largely agree about the book: I think there might be something there, but the case is far from being made. One small correction: the rewriting systems he proposes are not deterministic.

As for how non-local entanglement can occur, I'll just offer my current speculation, having spent about a year working on this kind of approach. You'll have to give up SR in its traditional sense. There will be a preferred reference frame, which is the rule application order that the automata uses in any particular history. The challenge becomes to explain why it is not observable and you have approximate Lorentz covariance. I think this will be less hard than one imagines -- even in Feynman's lectures you see explanations of SR that involve an aether (or a global frame if you prefer) and clocks defined by light bouncing between mirrors moving in this aether. Of course all physical laws have to be covariant, and explaining how this happens requires you to know how the physical laws are "microphysically". But the graph itself in graph-automata models is a good candidate for an ether, with particles being e.g. topological defects. Somehow covariance must reflect how a dynamical account of defect behavior changes as one foliates rule application order, mysterious but not inconceivable.

Now, entanglement: one imagines entanglement is implemented by long-range connections, which in graph-type models could take many forms. This is a kind of discrete version of the "ER = EPR" proposal. But they will have to be such a limited form of connection that they do not permit signaling, and I think they way they can do this is via some sort of knot-theoretic braiding. Only be comparing measurement outcomes classically will it be possible to deduce the way the braiding was effected by measurement and confirm you had e.g. a GHZ state.

Now, QM is more than just entanglement, but in the words of Jaynes: "QM is a peculiar mixture describing in part realities of Nature, in part incomplete human information about Nature - all scrambled up by Heisenberg and Bohr into an omelette that nobody has seen how to unscramble." When scrambled, all the ingredients look inextricably connected. I think the unscrambling will seem beyond hope until one has the exact recipe to recreate the omelette.
More accurately: both Hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin have been tested. And in both cases, they suck at treating COVID19 (roughly equivalent to placebo and/or weaker than current standard of care).

I listed the ivermectin review in my post earlier. HCQ is reviewed here by the NIH: https://www.covid19treatmentguidelines.nih.gov/tables/table-...

The fact of the matter is: HCQ and IVM have been extensively studied. They've been fully rejected based off of evidence. When a treatment works (ex: cheap corticosteroids like dexamethasone), the NIH announces and the hospitals start using it immediately.

----------

Vaccines, dexamethasone, and monoclonal antibodies all work. So all hospitals are offering these services to any COVID19 patient.

IVM, HCQ and other "alternative treatments" are snake-oil bullshit.
1. I could be against abortion but I would try to convince someone to not do it. Never force them.
2. this is a trick question in the sense that it is true we can damage others. But it is also true you can damage yourself with a vaccine right? So I do not see a reason for anyone to force u. There is a reasonable risk here on both sides. What I will not do is to get aggressive if someone does not let me in somewhere. After all it is a fact I havr higher chances of transferring the disease and due to my conscious choice I try to not damage myself but also not actively damage others.

3. I do not think a person with a severe allergy would not inform the crew or just avoid the flight or set herself in special and guaranteed conditions. We are not kids. We DO know better than all these paternalist governments that treat us as idiots what to do.I have far more confidence in people than in people who has to dictate coactively to others what to do with no consequence all the time.

Freedom is responsibility my friend.

If you want paternalism you can pay yours I can figure out how to deal with my stuff and not damaging others on my way.

What you cannot do is to try others realize your view of the world. You convince them or leave them alone and let them do their own way. I think it is the more fair position by far.

With my view you can have all these things you wish and I do not need to participate in them. I do not want any of those benefits either. If I want one, I can pay for it or join.

With other views this is not even possible. So this way of doing it is just superior in my view.

But I see many people afraid of letting people choose. Instead what u have is a small amount choosing for the rest with evil incentives on top of it. A much worse alternative in fact. And one where people always blame others of their own problems.
Horrible argument. Textbook guilt-by-association, and in this case, the "association" is particularly weak.
But you could continue to be happy: you're being paid what you were happy being pad, and now you have information that you are worth even more, which you can now leverage.

What Arab countries that were dictatorships at the start of the Arab Spring are now democracies?

In Syria, 494,438–606,000 died a violent death, 6.6 million became refugees and 6.7 million became internally displaced -- and Syria still has the same dictator.

Are you sure you don't want to concede that the Arab Spring's negative effects outweigh its positive effects?
I'm curious who oversees these expenditures, and what their qualifications are.

Governments typically have sub-par IT and software engineering (when done in house). When it's venture capital, investors are playing with their own money*, so there's a good incentive to be right and pick the right people/tech. But here, it seems like it's bureaucrats that are going to be deciding what to invest in, isn't it?

DARPA got it right a couple of times in the past, so I could be wrong.
I agree that Democrats need more seats, but the problem isn't the structure of the senate. A decade ago Democrats had the Rust belt and many other sparsely populated states were swing states, but they decided to go out of their way to alienate rural voters with extreme and unnecessary prejudice. Doubling down on identity politics from 2015-2020 only sealed the issue. Democrats have the better policies, but they pick completely unnecessary and counterproductive fights.
There are many ways to solve any problem. If I reviewed every PR with the standard "is this exactly how I would have done it", I too would be destroying every PR I review. And I'm not even that good at coding - I'm the type of generalist who cares about things like the business beyond the code base.

What really matters is whether the code is solid and whether it will actually cause problems. Just because a PR isn't character-for-character how I'd write it doesn't mean it's bad. Based on the author's experience with the fired employee's replacement being just as bad, my guess is he was over defining goodness and raising the bar too high.

Bad PR to me means: bad runtime complexity, bad formatting, bad security, bad memory use, bad understandability. If it meets all those bars, which for a crud app is usually easy, then it should probably pass. I'll sometimes leave a "I would have done _x_ differently" comment on matters of taste _if I think it will help the other developer_.

Personally, I doubt the blocking of app updates is due to failed acquisition. Yes, let’s admit the facts are Apple tried to buy FlickType, the attempt failed, FlickType is blocked from issuing updates, and Apple released keyboard for Watch 7. But let’s think from a different angle, Apple is a large corporation, all these steps were performed by different teams under different organizations.

I can image when acquisition happens, the keyboard team under software org will need to have some sort of requests to M&A(?) org, and then let them negotiate the details like price and make decisions. And app store review team is not involved in this discussion process.

For the M&A (I don’t know the actual name) org, IMO there is no incentive to block an app update due to a failed acquisition, they handle acquisitions every day and turned down offers are normal to them.

For the keyboard team, do they really want to block the app updates for a revenge? It’s possible but I think unlikely, they’re not competing with FlickType. Yes, they sherlocked the FlickType, but they don’t have the pressure to increase adoption because the native keyboard will have better experience (may not fair to developers if no API provided), and only available on watch 7.

Let’s say the keyboard team do want a revenge. Then some manager under keyboard team, which is a few levels down the tree of software org, needs to talk with another manager in app review team, which is also a few levels down of marketing org, for the blocking of updates for a specific app. Why would the manger of app review team accept such request? Imaging you’re that app store review manager, someone down the line of another org ask you to do something not only hurt the reputation of the company, but also yourself either externally or internally. Will you accept that request?

To be clear, this is my guess, and I don’t know what’s really going there, I could be wrong, and this is indeed a revenge. But my point is things may not connected as they look like.
I also find journaling for even five minutes in the morning helps clear my mind. The benefits seem to last all day too. My problem was that I would forget to journal many mornings. I solved this by piggy-backing on an existing habit, checking my email. I built a morning journal via email that sends a template similar to the article’s every morning. It has built in tagging so I can go back on Sunday evenings and see all the times I mentioned a certain person or topic. If this sounds like it might be helpful for you give it a spin at https://mymomentjournal.com it’s free for 3 weeks so you can see if the habit sticks.
i have been on an ever onward journey to try to find the balance:

- is a developer making the same set of mistakes? send them information on a better strategy to try overall

- how bad is this mistake? Is it just something that I know how to do better, or legitimately a broken way of thinking?

- what is worse, a slightly inefficient or unpretty algorithm, OR someone researching the problem / solution

Point is, 90% of my comments were meaningless. I really comment when things look wrong -- Did they misunderstand the intent of the ticket, did they verify everything with product because this looks weird, did they check the edge cases, did they forget about this other behavior, etc. All that I just mentioned is the real meat-and-potatoes. Code-fu is important, but less important than the other stuff. And if you are a calm, trusted, and mentoring team member, those same people will come to you to up their code-fu voluntarily.
I feel like we're inching our way toward waking up one morning to find North Korea wiped off the planet. Perhaps not as drastic but I can't imagine they're going to withstand a barrage of counterattacks.

But I'm not a military person whatsoever so what do I know.
Controversial opinion: the United States and South Korea should have gone to war with North Korea during the 1990s, when North Korea was at its weakest, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union. North Korea did not have nuclear weapons then. Doing so might have cost the lives of thousands of South Korean civilians, but North Korea would not have nuclear weapons today, or an army of cyber criminals, and the future peril of war with a nuclear armed North Korea would have been staved off forever. The US and SK could have handed over NK to China as an industrial colony for all we care, as long as NK ceased having a national government and armed forces of its own. Most reasonable people will agree that having one fewer nuclear power would be a gift for global peace and stability.

They say to give peace a chance. Maybe, in some situations, it is war that should be given a chance.

I was in ~2010 or so in the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, CA. There was some exhibition related to Enigma there or maybe Enigma device on display (I don't remember what was it exactly now).

The person who toured us around was telling us a brief story of how the Enigma was broken, starting with Bletchley Park. Me or maybe my friend asked who was the first to break Enigma, and he immediately answered that it was Turing, then noticed our puzzled face expressions, and added something along 'ah.. yeah.. and Polish did some minor work too' :). Just an anecdote.
Of course there are thresholds for competency. But if you find yourself having to destroy every PR from a developer you're probably toxic & insufferable.
Bipartisan bills still happen, but when it comes to climate change or improving our health care system or reforming election laws or changing the tax code so the extremely wealthy pay effective rates that are in line with what the middle class or moderately wealthy pay, there just aren't any Republican votes for those things.

Bipartisanship is a nice idea, but if two parties are ideologically opposed then sometimes no compromise is possible. The options in the U.S. to move legislation then become: use budget reconciliation and 50 votes plus the vice president, get rid of (or seriously reform) the filibuster, or wait for a 60-vote Senate supermajority. The latter happened in 2009 and lasted for a couple of weeks (it took a long time for Al Franken to be seated, and then Ten Kennedy died), and may never happen again in our lifetimes.

Simple Object Access Protocol...

Simple: by the end I was dealing with self-signed bodies and validation, version hell, framework hell, and namespace super-hell.

Object: um, not really. It was request/response. Nothing really "OOP" about it at all.

Access: didn't really help much with access, that was all HTTP

Protocol: There were so many protocols and frameworks attached to those protocols and versions of the protocols that ... in the end of the day, it had no protocol.

Thanks for the link! I'd be curious if you know about other information-theoretic approaches to understanding phenomena even in say classical mechanics (let's put aside statistical mechanics where the connections are already well understood). I'm dimly aware that there are fields like "symbolic dynamics" but not sure of the best entry point into that literature, or where to find the most powerful perspectives it offers without getting stuck in the weeds.

I distinctly remember hearing how southern Florida would be underwater by now in class in the 90s. People have been making arguments for decades about climate change and while I generally believe the trends, I don’t think it’s as clear cut as saying a country of people will die within the next 80 years. Prior climate change predictions have not been accurate enough to inspire much confidence, TBH.

YouTube Channel Polymater had a video about how NK would basically follow a' eternal cycle of "firing missiles to annoy everyone" / "get sanctionned" / "negociate with the Us by promising to stop launching missiles" / "get sanctions lifted" / rinse and repeat.

The cycle would go on forever, as long as China would not ditch support for NK. And of course, China would never get rid of such a powerful way to annoy everyone else.

NK would never actually attack, as it would kill their bluff and give everyone a good reason to convince China to wipe them out.

So this would be yet another episode. It's not "Mutually Assured Destruction", but "Perpetually Assured Annoyance".
Everyone that owns (is "enrolled" in) AAPL is "incentivized to get other people to buy" Apple products, just like BTC. These were the only 2 reasons you've ever given for why BTC is a "pyramid scheme".

You've said that both apply to Apple. So Apple is a "pyramid scheme" right? Or does the No True Pyramid Scheme fallacy mean Apple is excluded?

Is there a reason you can't explain the difference between pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes, other MLM schemes and market manipulation? The most reasonable guess would be that you don't understand the difference.

This is not an argumentum ad hominiem, it's an explanation for why you're so wrong, and why BTC's not a pyramid scheme.

> I’m curious why would you take it as a personal attack

We're discussing BTC, not me. It’s easier to discuss this if you stay away from ad hominem.
