Not all CI are stored as fat.
Not all CO are burned from fat.
Obesity specifically, is about excess fat, not bioavailable calories.
Imagine, as the article mentions, a person that has a daily calorie excess of exactly 10kcal per day from a potato chip. CICO with a 100% fat conversion dictates that person will gain 8lbs of pure fat every year.
Yet this isn't how it works in practice, so we need a better understanding of fat accumulation and loss if we want to address the crisis.

Any sufficiently drastic calorie deficit will result in weight loss, and eventually that loss will get to your fat stores. This is how the Twinkie diets works.

Most folks, myself included, would like to just stay at a healthy weight without thinking too much about 100 calories plus or minus their perceived BMR.

And for lots of folks that works, but clearly for an increasing majority, the 100kcal are stored as fat immediately, and the small 100kcal deficit doesn't burn the fat that was stored. Death by 1000 cuts.
Wouldn't it be interesting to discover why that might be and address it directly?
If I answer this by saying - well, it's complex - what does that tell you?
Evernote and remarkable 2. Evernote captures raw data very well, let's me format and search, and let's me copy and paste from the rest of the computer.

Remarkable replaces paper, which is what I used when writing to think. It does a great job.

The thing that really surprised me about Rust is the significance of a semicolon at the end of a function body. E.g.:

fn foo { 1; }

Returns unit while

fn foo { 1 }

Returns 1. This reminds me of nothing so much as the infamous JavaScript ASI footgun where this returns undefined:

function foo() {
return
2;
}
Infantry were semi-viable in C&C1 because it was a slower game, but became comically useless in RA
The view is that most emails are becoming centralized to come from a few places. So email hosts like microsoft and google take shortcuts to stop spam by untrusting any IP they haven't seen sending emails for 5 years (this is just a random number, no one knows what the real filters are).
First - yes, I did read the entire essay reasonably carefully. I've been reading this same essay from Taubes/Ludwig for at least 5 if not 8 years. [Edit - Make that 10 years - according to Amazon, I bought "Why we get Fat" in Feb, 2011 - and remember it being revolutionary] The thing is I agree with them wholeheartedl, and have from the first time I read stuff from Taubes 10 or so years ago.

Saying that weight increase is a result of excess caloric consumption is in some ways a distraction, because of course that's the reason why weight increase occurs. The real issue is what does drive caloric consumption, and the side issue is what impact do dietary components have on insulin reactions, metabolic reaction, satiation, etc....

What kind of drives me nuts is how they have an issue with that fundamental, never disproven in a single controlled clinical-condition study, statement of "An excess of caloric input over caloric output will result in weight gain. " It's fine to start off with that, and then move onto the more important questions.

I mean, they could start off by saying, "This statement may be true, but it's only relevant in a laboratory, and mostly irrelevant in free-living scenarios." I would agree with that as well. I think it was Taubes that once wrote, "Our (predetermined) weight determines how much we eat, not the inverse" which I thought was quite clever and backed up with a lot of studies.
Org mode in emacs.

I will write markdown files in the repo for a project with some big picture things.

For learning stuff will do a test.c/cc/py/go/sh/Java file in ~

I use paper for very formless thought about more complex stuff that I am wrestling with.

With org mode I keep maintaining the file (lot of stuff is todos). The markdown files keep getting edited and linked to during the life of the project. Paper notebooks I have about five from 25 years of work and stack them in a drawer or so on. When I want to reminisce about some old cool thing I will leaf thru them, impressed at my cleverness and naïveté.

Before I got into org mode i would use Mac yellow stickies app, and delete when they went out of scope.
Not the person you replied to, but I still prefer Konqueror, which was built from the ground up as free software and it shows in the quality IMO.
Pre-restriction would have to disallow running javascript in that case. Otherwise an app could save data to localstorage, refresh the page programmatically (or wait for the user), and then transmit.
Yes, I meant a straight adapter only; of course it is useful for a Thunderbolt dock to have a DisplayPort output, among other ports.
Functional programming isn't popular because the talent pool for experts in languages like Haskell is

* tiny

* composed largely of insufferable snobs who will insist on reminding you that they're smarter than you and understand computing on a deeper level

Whereas the talent pool for jalopy languages like Javascript and Python is full of easygoing can do barbarian hustlers who will do everything wrong but make your prototype work well enough for you to get the next round of funding. And if you really need heavy duty people who are still pragmatic, there's always the large and deep C++ talent pool

If you're not morally comparing Facebook to oil companies & toxic polluters, why do you constantly analogize them to Facebook and describe their memory holes & ruined ecologies & the burning planet as if that's comparable to what Facebook is doing? Where does "unqualified disaster" even come from?

Toxic waste companies engaged in the conduct you described and had the impact you described and they were condemned after we found solid evidence that they were doing so. Do you have any argument or evidence whatsoever that Facebook is behaving similarly? If you want to argue the moral equivalency, argue it. Don't spin an evocative narrative about the disasters of the oil industry in the same breath as Facebook's moderation policies then disclaim it "I'm not saying that...".
These days some do. I have a Pixel 4a 5G. I bought it in Japan, but I don't believe it's a special Japan model in any way, and obviously doesn't have any special firmware either since I installed vanilla LineageOS on it. Worldwide models intended to be sold in Japan are starting to have the feature.

As long as the hardware FeliCa secure element is there, all you have to do is install the relevant apps from the Play Store (the apps themselves might be region locked; I do have my Play Store account set to Japan)
> What is lost if DeFi were more heavily regulated or outlawed? What is lost if shipping were more more heavily regulated / outlawed?

Getting people to agree on "low-hanging fruit" is very difficult. Even on here you'll see people that are fine with using energy on crypto. It'll be an even taller order convincing folks that shipping should be outlawed or tightly restricted, especially folks living in rural car-dominated areas of Anglo countries. Then you'll have to mount a new fight to convince people to heavily restrict the bath and restrict shower usage. Oh and keeping your lights on all night. Then start a campaign to restrict running the AC. There will undoubtedly be folks who'll try specifically to find holes in restrictions as well, such as buying a propane stove on areas where gas stoves are banned, then you'll need to amend all of these restrictions and burn ever more political capital.

Much simpler to tax energy based on emissions. If that means PoW crypto will never be profitable, then they can pound sand. That way you also won't have lobby groups grandfather weird exceptions on restrictions to preserve their precious market.

log.txt

I KISS with just a text file. I've tried other methods but only this one stuck. I like Sublime and VS Code b/c hyperlinks can be command+clicked to open. They've also never lost a single character of information, which I cannot say for any other editor, even vim.

Here's how it's formatted:

#TODOS:

one line per item

try to keep this small

once they're done, move to end of file (cut line, cmd+down, paste)

#STICKY:

short reference, stuff you would normally put in a sticky note on your monitor. keep this very small.

#LOG:

09-13

Reverse order log

Think "captain's log" from star trek"

What's a TODO vs a LOG varies.

If a topic gets large enough, it gets put in its own txt file, like interview questions or collected notes for a single project.

[So here is where you would add stuff]

09-12

This would yesterday's notes.

09-09 Some days only deserve one line

09-08 and that's totally fine

[and here would be all your notes. This can be thousands of lines]

#BACKLOG:

Intentionally put this down here, if you run out of TODOs, then come down here

#DONE:

Tasks are moved down here once they're done. In case they need to be pulled back or at performance evaluation to remember what you've done!
Civ2 added some absurd hidden bonuses to AI units to give them a chance in the endgame. My veteran armors will never forget getting mowed down by knights.
In society not everybody is equal, however in societies with rule of law, the idea is that everybody is at least deemed equal under the law. That this unfortunately often fails in practice is very different from explicitly and intentionally having separate rules
You are absolutely spot on. Big tech snuffs out anything contrary to globalism and wokeism. Few days back I mentioned the shift in govt focus to “domestic terrorism” vs the “jihadi terrorism”, the comment was taken out on HN.

While at the same time big tech acts as activist and cheerleader for “domestic terrorists” in India. Supporting a Jan 6 style riot to overturn thr Modi govt disguised as now 18 month long “farmer protest” funded by western globalists.

Bottom line it does not matter what the issue is, the big tech including HN does not tolerate dissenting voices at all - particularly if they are articulate. Let us see how long this comment lasts- 2 mins max.

Is this true? Everything I'm reading online says that the animals will naturally "dry up" after the young have weened, and it's only by humans manually prolonging the lactation period that animals are able to give milk long after having given birth.

ZCash is controlled by a privately-owned company in the U.S., who gave themselves founder's rewards.

It's also designed in a way to allow "poison pills" - i.e. those in control can force a single transaction on a block, thus giving a vector to deanonymize someone.

You may ask, "Who would do something like that?" and the answer would be the U.S. government who can compel privately owned organizations via secret court subpoenas. Monero is more private than ZCash, and has a record of not acting on self-interests.

> The only time when e2e is meaningfully different then https is when the server you're talking to (i.e. your personal matrix homeserver) is compromised.

Only if everyone's running their own personal homeserver, which seems pretty unlikely for regular people. You could've said the same thing about email (it's not meaningfully different unless your personal email server is compromised), but in reality the NSA ran mass surveillance on gmail and picked up a lot of data that way.

Same analysis error. How many beds are there total in a given hospital is the right question.

Looks like _all_ community hospitals in the US have about 100,000 beds (including all types of ICU beds, even pediatric for example) https://www.aha.org/statistics/fast-facts-us-hospitals

Spread this out to cover the entire number of community hospitals ~5000, and that means if 5 families
of 4 people get sick in any community, the hospital will be "overrun"

Politicians get blamed for taxes. Middlemen are a safe hidden tax that has the bonus of padding their campaign funding.
This isn't a unifying standard, which is what the XKCD comic is about. It's not attempting to take other standards and develop the One To Rule Them All—you know, like the first panel of the comic describes—but rather building a different tool that's a better fit for some specific use-cases.

Honestly, if the internet had been around when the screwdriver was invented, the Hacker News commenters of the time would have been linking to XKCD 927 along with snide comments about how hammers and wrenches already exist.
Now if only Taubes had written this essay with the same clarity and conciseness that your analysis of it just did, it would have gotten a lot more traction with me. I mean, he can at times be a great writer - "Why we get Fat" was a book that I and a lot of friend bought and debated at length - it was revolutionary (to us).

It's not about having them, it's about how they're using them.
Agreed - although w3techs says it's only the top 10 million websites - this must be skewed heavily by Wordpress? I know the developer community is somewhat an echo chamber, but I doubt that Node, Rails, Go, etc are this much of a niche for web servers?
> However, when you really grok the paradigm you will get those a ha moments. The same is true of other paradigms too, but there is a particular satisfaction that comes with deep understanding in this domain that I can't explain. It's kind of beautiful to a certain mind I guess...

Right but you understand that 90% of developers can't bend their brain that way so does make maintaining functional code very difficult.

I don't think I've ever broken a USB-C cable. How is everyone destroying them?
Of course people don’t say those words exactly. But pushing for the ability to smoke indoors for example is basically saying my right to smoke should trump your right to have smoke free air. Ditto for fracking. My ability to profit off the oil I get trumps your right to have clean environment. I don’t really understand how these can not be seen as “I should be free to profit regardless of harm to others.”
> like healthcare and schools operate quite differently

I'd argue the reason you don't see much Guanxi in the America is because the best healthcare or school are already run by the private sector.
> Forcing the use of franchised stores meant that the dealerships are owned (always?) by local people so they can't just move away.

Local people close down their local businesses all the time, though. In fact, the manufacturer, because of vertical integration, is more likely to make profit than independent dealer, and so less likely to close down.
Hi!

I'm the author of the Java KDL library, https://github.com/hkolbeck/kdl4j. I'm currently overwhelmed by other things and unable to do the work to get it up to the 1.0.0 spec. I'm looking for folks willing to help me. DM me on Twitter at the same name if you're interested.
In a way, because the physical keyboard was so much better for typing. But typing text was all I did with my blackberry. Now my phone is so much more general purpose that a BB form factor wouldn’t suit me.
Dependent types are not totally orthogonal of FP. They generally require immutability and function purity to work well and become extremely difficult to work with in the absence of those features.

It actually looks pretty similar to GraphQL but without parens around argument lists. I wonder whether the author looked at it as well (might be interesting to compare).

As opposed to? I read this the same as "circles, and round circles in particular...." Is there any other kind?
As someone who works professionally with large Fortran applications - the last thing you want to do is put Fortran anything on the web. Everything, and I do mean everything, is such a pain in the ass with Fortran. To the point where large scale applications are riddled with trivial overflow, race condition, and injection bugs because the language actively fights against doing things the right way.
since it's mostly labor and installation cost (presumably those are about the same cost no matter the size), I feel it makes a lot of sense to go a little bit bigger than you need

No, if all you want is detecting which one of 20 websites a user is browsing to, which you can by checking how much power it uses, you can definitely do that from traffic patterns even if the traffic flows through a vpn.

And this ‘leak’ assumes a user has his phone on a charger while it is already full, there is no guarantee it works.

What AI products do any of these companies produce that's actually good?

Siri is awful, Google Assistant doesn't seem like it understands basic sentencr structure, Google Search is terrible. YouTube recommendations are a disaster.

It honestly seems like most of these are very extensive keyword-matching algos that are sold to us as "AI".
Its not offensive, just any FP post brings out the FP snobs who often dont like criticism.
"Could be" is doing a lot of work in that sentence. Maybe this is actually the most efficient politically doable way to grow the middle class with those dollars.

It depends on the audience background/worldview. From Christian moral tradition: "modesty is a virture". From modern rational thought: a self-assemsments like this are not reliable (see for example Dunning-Kruger effect) and the fact that author does not realize this erodes trust in the remaining of his argument.
Even if it happens like you suggest, things will simply return to status quo, and the Native Americans won’t be worse off than they had been before. In fact, they will benefit during the period from the free trade zone set up to when the state/federal government wreckers figure out how to screw them too. This is still better off than the status quo, where they simply never benefit from it at all.
Yeah, I think people seriously underestimate the abilities of the JVM
> However, to lament programmers not eking out every megabyte of payload size is nonsensical - in my opinion. Why waste a scarce resource (labour hours) optimising the use of a cheap and plentiful resource (bandwidth/storage).

I'll give a counterpoint to this example; MineSweeper on the Windows Store.

Last time I took a look, the installation size of this app was more than a 'functional' install of the entire Windows 98 OS, including a slightly-less-colorful version of the same game.

Or, for a more 'Business' example. Autocad 2013+; it became bloated, frustrating to work with, and expensive.

> Imagine a world where fusion energy was the most commonly employed energy source and the cost of electricity in both environmental and economic terms was negligible. Should we still have energy-star rated refrigerators? Why? What purpose would it serve?

In a 'happy path' fusion scenario, the best refrigerator design would be one with the lowest ozone depleting and/or greenhouse gas emitting setup, so long as the energy consumption was overall sustainable on the grid a lot of them were hooked up to.
Optimized for smugness, and often very poorly explained. But there's some interesting ideas there if you get past those barriers.
You said “It is considered bad form to share the contents of a termsheet with other investors” and “You do not want to be seen ‘shopping around’ your unsigned termsheet”.

The benefits to a founder of shopping around seem clear, so could you quantify the downside risks? Do the risks matter for a “hot deal”?

PS: Thank you so much for your awesome article: it is especially gratifying to see something that isn’t from the valley (I am in NZ).
My work has a lot of JIRA tickets moving at various speeds: same day quick fixes, some questions that can be turned around next day, some projects done in a week or two, some taking a month or two.

Most notes go in the ticket, but for file management and private notes I create a folder on the desktop with the ticket title. Notes go in "notebook.txt", and usually consists of organizing my thoughts on how to attack the problem, maybe some draft editing of comments I want to post on JIRA, maybe a SQL query, the raw data of any big, important result I find. (e.g. "You can see here this data could not proceed further because X was invalid.")

Most sql queries end up in queries.sql or something in the same folder, along with screenshots when troubleshooting, datasets, etc. If the number of interior folders starts getting disorganized / out of hand / long-running, usually I'll start creating daily folders inside the main folder (e.g. Desktop/prevent-salem-witch-trial-mode/2021-09-13_prevent_moldy_bread )

Rarely do I need to refer back to it, but about once a year when I have a long-running problem that gets passed off to someone else, I'll organize notebook.txt for them, write down a summary of my thoughts, and send a zip file of the folder to them with my summary and recommendations on how to proceed.

After my desktop fills up a bit I'll move them to archive them to an archive folder e.g. Archive/2021/prevent-salem-witch-trial-mode

Nice in that I generally only need just the few places where my data is going to be, and grepWin lets me search for keywords anywhere in the folder.
