I think the problem is as much in the ownership as it is in anything else.

In China, where housing costs are skyrocketing as well, there are protests when enough housing is built to start to make it affordable again.

Putting the majority of a person's life savings into their house is, in the end, a pretty bad idea.
The problem with calorie counting and fitness trackers is that they assume all bodies are equally efficient, a calorie is a calorie but a person is not a person. It’s like driving for 2 hours and trying to estimate how much gas to fill for the next 2 hours without overflowing the tank, all this based on the mpg of a standard car.
Most search engines are pretty bad because the developers of most search engines don't do any work to improve relevance.

This methodology works

https://ccc.inaoep.mx/~villasen/bib/AN%20OVERVIEW%20OF%20EVA...

and I used it to tune up the relevance of a search engine for patents to the point where users could immediately perceive that it worked better than other products.

After I worked on that I wound up talking to the developers and/or marketing people for many enterprise search engines and few of them, if any, did any kind of formal benchmarking of relevance.

People at one firm told me that they used to go to TREC conferences because they thought it got them visibility but that they decided it didn't so they quit going.

A message I got repeatedly was that these firms thought that the people who bought the search engines didn't care much about relevance, but they did care about there being 200 or more plug-ins to import data from various sources.

In principle the tuning is unique to the text corpus. One reason for that is that there is a balancing act of having a search engine that prefers small documents (they have spiky vectors that look more like query vectors) or large documents (they have so many words they match everything.) Different corpuses have different distributions of document sizes, not to mention different distributions of words that appear.

Few organizations are willing to do the work to tune up a search engine (you have to decide about the relevance of 10,000+ document hits), but I've had the experience that you can beat the pants off the defaults even using a generic tuning. For instance that patent search engine was tuned up against the GOV2 corpus instead of a patent corpus. A small patent corpus showed us we were on the right track, however.

> it's that that diet / food selection is meaningless as food containing one calorie of potential will always evolve to one calorie's worth of metabolic energy through some metabolic process or another

Maybe that's true evolutionarily over tens of millions of years, but it's definitely not true that cellulose calories are remotely equivalent to fat calories -- not unless you're already a ruminant, anyway. Similar issues may present themselves with other types of calories. Just because in theory we could evolve to optimally use all potential sources of energy in food doesn't mean that we actually have yet.

The good news here is that the Confluence API is actually really good, and very easy to integrate with.

I wrote a custom search engine that worked by running on cron, pulling in all of the content from Confluence and writing it into a SQLite table with SQLite full-text search enabled (using https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#...), then sticking a https://datasette.io/ interface in front of it.
>I had this very argument with an MD who was trying to tell me that if you operate at a sustained caloric deficit you'll eventually stop losing weight.

Depending on the definition of "sustained" (I assume the MD meant sustained absolute calories per day, not sustained calories below metabolism) it could be true, because as your body shrinks it reduces its metabolism partly because there is simply less of it.
They do this since the 90s. Disinformation is a crime.

Sorry I am blending terms. Copay as your % of the insurance premium that your work buys you.

Example: Plan cost $2,000 per month. You have a $400 a month copay.

In retrospect, that is a bad term to use here, because copay means something totally different in insurance plans. There is also a copay for treatmeat, but not what I was talking about.
Back in the day they never bothered chasing up the modems even though they had wording in the contract they could charge if the equipment wasn’t returned, the equipment was never given to the customer but loaned for “free”, they were more pissy about their TV boxes, when I left them they kept sending threats to charging me for the boxes, I kept asking them to either collect them or send me pre-paid postage and I would send them back (was always “well mail one out” and they never did). One day I was in a pissy mood after another treat, drove down to the regional head office (at the time it was about 4 miles away) slapped them down on the receptionists desk with the threat letter and demanded a receipt.

Never heard from them again.

BT do the same these days with their hubs (or at least were planning to, dunno if they changed their minds after the backlash), BTs excuse is to reduce electronics waste. Not that we’re going to reuse the gear themselves more that they would recycle it.

BE (before they were brought out by o2) would send you out a “cat trap” modem on the condition you returned it if you left (so they could give it to ant or customer as a cat trap) but didn’t really give a crap about the primary modem.
I think there is an issue with that logic - it doesn't account for the ever accelerating wealth inequality. People are working a ton right now - and creating massive amounts of value. It's so freaking easy to get consumer goods delivered next day that we're all forgetting that this service would likely cost fifty+ dollars in the early 90's - there are similar trends across the economy.

The issue is that a lot of that created value is being isolated out of circulation and is pooling in investors that can, at a moments notice, pull the rug out of a number of great companies if they sense a panic. Wealth inequality creates the opportunity for instability in the form of extreme sudden market rushes alongside reducing the purchasing power of most folks. We're in a rough spot.

Still insane scale of project. Let's say you can spread 10m wide line, you can fit 2000 of these in 20km square each 20km long. At reasonable 40km/h speed it would mean about 1000 hours. ~41,7 days per pixel... Not counting logistics of getting the material ready and so on. And how many pixels you need? Also 10m wide spread might be optimistic, considering moon isn't easiest thing thing to navigate at this scale.
That income tax statistic is misleading. Most Americans do pay social security payroll taxes, which are income taxes, they’re just not called “income tax.”
> it's fair to ask (as another poster suggested) whether or not the machine in the paradox can ever exist.

Here's something interesting to think about: assuming the machine could exist in some possible world, how does causality work in that world?

To be certain about your future behavior, the machine would need a "time oracle" that allowed it to view the future. The machine consults its time oracle, it sees you making a box choice, and it puts money in the boxes based on the choice you made.

But this is literally you having causal agency over the machine's decision, isn't it? After all, it acted because of what it saw you do.
Yup, in the UK the local butcher started selling flour in clear plastic bags with a hand written sticker on it.

One of the major reasons Ruby didn't take off [outside of web] is because of the library availability. Ruby was pigeon holed by Rails while in Python I can reach for a library for pretty much any usecase and scenario from Genomics to Web.

The thing is that is an issue of community, because Ruby does have an FFI and there is really nothing stopping people from building libraries similar to how they're done in Python, calling out to C. They just didn't.
Agreed, but the fundamental problem is that inventory is so low. Super low inventory and vacancy rates cause far more problems in addition to prices being set by a wealthier percentile.

> The explanation I'm told makes sense is this: US medical boards are unwilling to train more doctors because that would increase supply and reduce overall MD earnings. So they have a small number of openings each year,

That "explanation" might be plausible if "medical boards" were in control of the size of residency programs or hospitals' decisions to run them. Except, they're not.

> Why would the hospital restrict residency spots because of funding? Residents are wildly profitable, so that wouldnt make sense.

This is an example of a logical fallacy known as begging the question[0]. You are assuming that "residents are wildly profitable", and then trying to use that to disprove the statement that "residency programs are not profitable".

A better way to reason about this is by contradiction. Assume that hospitals are greedy and avaricious profit-seeking entities who will do anything that increases their bottom line. If residency programs were profitable, these greedy profit-seeking entities would open them (the hospitals that don't currently run programs) or expand them (the hospitals that do). Except, they choose not to. That provides a contradiction between the logical conclusion of the assumptions and actual reality.

It's much simpler to resolve that contradiction by rejecting the premise "residency programs are profitable" than by resorting to contorted explanations that hinge on objectively counterfactual assumptions (such as "medical boards control residency programs' decisions", which is objectively incorrect).

(Your explanation also falls flat when you realize that your logic actually provides US doctors and medical boards with a strong incentive to increase the number of medical school slots, because that would actually preserve earnings for domestic doctors. But that's a subtler point, and the topic at hand is residency programs.)

The surrounding discussion is an interesting hypothetical. The problem occurs when people use unsettled science like "not all calories are created equal" to change their lifestyle (e.g. "all X diet"), then fail at making substantial change because they made it too complicated.

You can do very well believing "a calorie is a calorie" even if it is technically inaccurate, and you can do very badly believing "not all calories are created equal" even if it is technically true on some level.

Effective weight loss is simple (note I didn't say "easy"):

- Calculate your TDEE. TDEE is ((RMR + TEF + NEAT) * Physical Activity Level).

- Eat fewer calories than your TDEE in order to lose body fat or eat more to gain body fat.

- Most of the population are Sedentary or Moderately active. Many also overestimate their PAL by one level (i.e. you aren't "Vigorously" because you hit the gym twice this week for 20 minutes, you're Moderately).

- Exercise to improve overall health (mental, sleep, immune system, etc). Don't "double count" exercise calories, just set your PAL level and that's it.

- Don't eat less than 1500 / 1300 calories for men / women respectively and try to get some nutrients.

Ignore everything else, it is just adding complexity. Weight loss should be "Simple but hard." "Complex but easy" doesn't exist unfortunately, at least not in the medium to long term. Instead, you'll just burn out faster. So K.I.S.S., make it boring, make it a habit, eat whatever you want below your TDEE.

PS - Starting new exercise (or periods in women) can cause short term water weight increases in the order of 1-6 lbs. This is caused by inflammation. It is completely normal and will go away on its own. Just be patient.
My company uses Coveo [www.coveo.com] for their intranet. They have a native connector for Confluence, it works MUCH better:

It's been a long time since I worked at Google but when I did (10 yrs ago), the search system for the intranet was notoriously awful. Part of the reason was that PageRank tends not to work so well in places where things aren't heavily cross-linked, which is a hard place to get to if you search system already sucks.

Right, but that's a pretty recent change, at least in the non-rivalrous care sense. Which is to say that "I deserve free care" has been a thing in ostensibly conservative camps, for a long time, but the notion that everyone deserves free or at least affordable care has only really started catching on recently.

As recently as the nineties, a serious attempt at reform failed in a way that seriously hampered a Presidency, and the ACA is, while a significant improvement, also pretty compromised. The idea that UHC is a reasonable political platform, within the bounds of "normal" American political discourse, is pretty new.

The go-to-market for games without an app store (ios or android) is so bad that most game devs were rather get 70% of something rather than 100% of almost nothing... and that's probably why more people aren't talking about it.

This is cool - I've built a simple version of this sorta system before Rollbar et al existed and just stored the aggregated events in memory. I'd just keep the most recent occurrence only - not every event - and the times the exception occurred so I could see how often it was happening over the last N seconds (hours, days, etc).
You would be surprised how many otherwise serious people have advanced to me the notion that you can get more than a calorie from a calorie of food, mostly in service of the notion that weight loss is impossible and you shouldn't try.
They're not always quite the same, often arxiv have doesn't updates reflecting changes during the publication process (not including formatting). Can be annoying, the can be subtle differences and people aren't really careful about which versions they use or cite.

I still wanna know what my body was doing with the extra ~2,000 calories/day I was feeding it from ages 14-22, a period in which I put on only a little height and, by the last half, only gained maybe a pound or two per year.

The credential matters – until you get your first job. A few years from now no employer (at least in tech) is going to reject him for not having a college degree when he has "Software Engineer at Facebook" on his resume.

I was recently looking to switch jobs and actually removed the "education" section from my resume because it was taking too much space. Prospective employers care much more about work experience and other relevant projects than the college courses you took a decade ago.
Even Apple's mobile device security update lifespan is pathetic compared to desktops and laptops. If you bought a computer with Windows XP when it first came out, you got 13 years of support, and even more if it could upgrade to Windows Vista or 7. And if you're willing to run Linux or BSD, you can easily run supported software on decades-old hardware. This is the standard we should be holding mobile device manufacturers to.

It might be helpful to take a deeper look at the housing markets of Toronto and Vancouver - both are urban centers with a lot of employment opportunities and homes owned by regular folks - but they've also both been ravaged by a plethora of investment properties which, in a self-fulfilling manner, are driving demand through the roof thus justifying more investment.

The one with all the generalizations
Just one year ago I lost 12 excess kgs I gained over the previous year by doing nothing but counting calories. Took me 2 months.

Was really easy except having to say no to your desires to eat some more of that tasssssty food or sweeten your daily cup of tea with a chocolate bar. But I overcame myself because I have willpower.

As I understand the the calorie issue, unless the laws of Thermodynamics are proven wrong, titles like 'death of the calorie' are nothing but attention grabbing attempts. If the amount of your inbound energy (in the form of food) is smaller than your energy expenditure, the deficit energy is taken from storage, and there is NO way around it AT ALL.
