The debate around "A calorie is a calorie" relates to the whole "calories in vs calories out" concept for weight loss/gain.

Examples like "500 calories of twinkies and 500 calories of lettuce are equivalent" focus heavily on the "calories in", but forget to consider the "calories out" aspect. What I mean there is, when someone says that the body processes different macronutriets differently, a lot of that has to do with how it affects "calories out"

If you eat 500 calories of a food that your body will only process a small amount of, and expel the other 450 calories as waste, that 450 is part of the "calories out". That's only a net "calories in" of 50.

On the other hand, if you eat 500 calories of a food that your body chooses to process/store most of, that's 400 calories in, and only 100 calories out.

To clarify, I'm not talking as much about absorption, more-so about things like how a macronutrient affects insulin sensitivity.

Carbohydrates decrease insulin sensitivity more than protein and unsaturated fats would. Decreased insulin sensitivity means increased insulin resistance.

"Having insulin resistance means that the walls of the cells within the body that need to take in glucose for energy, have a much-lowered sensitivity to insulin. This makes it harder for the cells to receive the necessary glucose through the cell wall.

That glucose then remains in the bloodstream, resulting in high blood sugar levels, which the liver then has to manage. When this excess sugar reaches the liver, it is converted to fat. The fat cells leave the liver via the bloodstream and cause weight gain. If left unmanaged this can lead to obesity."

The calories out part of the equation isn't just the energy you expend per day through movement/metabolic processes/etc, it's also the calories that are expelled as waste because the body didn't store that macronutrient.
TDEE = Total daily energy expenditure. How many calories you burn in a day.

RMR = Resting metabolic rate (aka basal metabolic rate). How many calories your body burns just to sustain itself. If you were in a coma this is roughly how much you'd burn.

TEF = Thermic effect of food. Your body burns a small amount of calories just digesting your food.

EAT = Exercise activity thermogenesis. How many calories you burn while exercising.

NEAT = Non-exercise activity thermogenesis. How much you burn on top of your RMR but isn't exercise. For example, walking around a retail store burns calories even if it isn't categorized as exercise.

These are the four components of your metabolism (TDEE).
The article is saying that weight loss can happen without reducing calories, and no weight loss can occur while reducing calorie. Skipping the 100 call snack is not equivalent
You don't understand! Their website uses fancy German fonts and neon color gradients, clearly they know what they're doing. And check that out, I can pay my $7,000 tuition via Apple Pay! Be right back, I'm going to go cancel the rest of my semester.
Yeah and that's because nobody (from the browser vendors to the game engine providers) has bothered to create decent tooling for real-time 3D and game developers to be able to effectively deploy HTML5, with a specific focus on reducing build sizes via a combo of compression and a lazy loading asset fetching system.

This is what our startup has been focused on for Unreal Engine 4 to target WebGL. We've achieved scenes that are sub 10MB that load in up in two seconds in the browser on most devices.
This thread is well timed, I was just about to pick a wiki solution and was leaning towards confluence. But search is really important to me.

What’s the prevailing wisdom these days on the best solution for an internal knowledge base/wiki platform?
> If you eat 500 calories of a food that your body will only process a small amount of, and expel the other 450 calories as waste

Does this much lack of absorption ever actually happen, though, outside of exceptional cases like if you get food poisoning?
a law API makes sense to me because laws are updated all the time, especially when you take into consideration all the various jurisdictions. A Quran or biblical text API makes less sense to me because it is essentially unchanging static text until the religious doctrine is amended.
I'm new to this, but looks like you need to start in their irc chat and get to know people to receive an invite. #lobsters libera
I agree. The caloric intake models are often terrible for groups like stress eaters. Eventually IMO there will be equally bad, but also subjectively-useful methods for treating things like overwork and boundaries-crossed situations as numeric models which can be examined alongside caloric intake models. Like a TDEE which better incorporates what we'd now consider subjective psychological stress.
"civil asset forfeiture laws". It's plain legalized stealing, no fancy wording could change that.
As someone who rides more miles a year than drives, I appreciate that you framed this as a personal opinion. If I avoided one accident for every time someone told me that I shouldn't ride I would probably live forever. Their uncle, or uncle's friend, or brother's coworker, or someone always "had to lay 'er down" to avoid tree clippings on a straight street, or rain, or whatever.

About 2/3 of the accidents are caused by rider error [0]. I've heard several references, but [1] says that 27% of motorcycle fatalities involved a drunk rider. Cars about to turn left in front of me are generally visible and avoidable (the intense focus needed is part of the fun for me). All that is to say that some factors are controllable, others are not, and risk tolerance is subjective. I accept my odds, but I also know that none of my Harley-riding neighbors have any interest in training or improving skills at all.

With the <1 year old bike I spend the most time on, I find it worthwhile to reduce my CO2 footprint the small amount that I do. Not all motorcycles are much better than a larger car pollution-wise, and not all people think taking a personal risk (or any cost) is worthwhile to reduce pollution, but if everyone did the situation would be improved. I find that compelling. My Harley-riding neighbors… uh… definitely don't.

Personally, the joy of riding is part of what makes life livable. Of course I could decrease my risk profile (indeed, so many people seem to think that I ought to do just that). But as my wife cares for the dying elderly at their bedsides she tells me that they never celebrate their decreased risk profiles, but rather wish they would have taken more chances and opportunities that they had been presented. In my mind, to ride pecks at the question of why we do anything.

Please don't. The housing market is fucked in EU urban areas now too. Without an inheritance you can't afford to buy anything decent around a developed city with jobs even on a tech salary.

As selfish as this may sound, the last thing we need is more foreign competition on the housing market with bigger pockets.

It would be fair that if people from the US want to buy property here with their foreign megabucks, we should also get unrestricted visa-free access to the US labor market. Tit for tat. Otherwise it's just unfair to Europeans to be outspent out of their own housing market.
Apparently, Fb is on the rise again do you use it?
Over 41% of travelers were part of a Facebook Group with other fellow travelers before their trip to understand entry requirements, quarantine & insurance rules as well as get insights into open attractions. Amongst people that used community to plan their travels, 96% indicated Facebook as the preferred tool with the rest relying on Reddit.
OK but this is not actually happening. Young, well-educated people with high incomes are the only types of people who continue to flow into California. They are driving out poorer and generally less-well-educated people, because of course that is how it will work in a competitive housing price market.

From a christian perspective it's more that these stories are framed from a point of view.

'“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Much attention is focused on how to reconcile Genesis 1 and science. But this is the wrong debate. Genesis 1 should be read not against current science books but against other stories of origins, especially the stories of the cultures surrounding ancient Israel: the Babylonians, Canaanites and Egyptians. Genesis 1 is best read as a polemic against these stories. Beneath some superficial similarities the Biblical account presents a profoundly different understanding of God, the world and humanity.'

Good advice, and keep in mind that calculating TDEE is complicated and often unintuitive, in particular:

"a long-term increase in activity does not directly translate into an increase in total energy expenditure (TEE) because other components of TEE may decrease in response" [0]

However, this is all happening in the margins - overconsumption of even a couple hundred extra calories a day (that's like, two to four Oreos) will result in packing on a dozen or so pounds per year, regardless of activity level.

But I'm not a scientist, so feel free to correct me.

I figure if you are actively managing your account, then most of it is short term.
You can turn them off for the most part. I have.
why can't you have programmatic access to local data though? Store the data in a sqlite database if you care to. there are all sorts of different clients that interact with local or embedded data
To be clear, I meant 1p as in Confluent -> Kafka; not AWS -> Managed Kafka.

Despite Yandex (who originally built Clickhouse) offering a managed solution, a substantial investment outlay from the VCs does come off as a huge vote of confidence in the founders.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. This is the theoretical prediction based on simple microeconomics. By example, I believe NY rent controls were ineffective to the point where rents outside of controlled areas went higher than they otherwise would have and within rent control areas there was (and is) scarcity of housing.
Most of the comments so far are missing the point. The paper points out that the energy available from food, for doing work, creating fat, or any other process, is not, and can not be, equal to the energy content of the food: it is reduced by thermogenesis. Because the reaction pathways are different for different types of food, a calorie of protein does not provide the same usable amount of energy as a calorie of lipid, for example. A greater portion of the protein calorie goes to waste heat.

However, from their Figure 2, you can see that the effect of even large changes in dietary composition have a small effect on the energy available from food. You can drastically reduce your carbohydrate consumption, while maintaining your 2000 calorie intake, and that amounts to only about a 100 calorie reduction in available energy.

The conclusion: to a reasonable degree of accuracy it really is CICO. To lose weight, eat fewer calories.
So... sort of like the inverse of crop monoculture problems?
GDB has a GUI (TUI). Several, in fact...
One note, is that bank loans are not taken from deposits anymore, that story we were told as children does not reflect modern banking. There's not even "fractional reserve" so much anymore, just "stress tests." So banks really do own a printing press when it comes to money, which is sometime called horizontal money, as opposed to the "vertical" money that comes from a monetary sovereign.
Extended fasting is widely prevalent in many cultures, but I wouldn't consider those parts of the world as having eating disorders. Starvation in a bigger sense is a prolonged deficiency in nutrients and energy needs. Fasting doesn't have to be a set number of hours/days either. You fast every time you go to sleep.

One thing I've recently been thinking a lot about is how much of those calories the bacteria in your stomach may or may not use and how that translates for different people and how the chemistry in your guts can use said energy.
Nice article! I thought they did a great job building up to explaining Hausdorff dimension and the Koch curve.

I do wish they'd done a better job discussing time as the 4th dimension, however. It seemed shoehorned in at the end and wasn't really connected to the rest of the writing.
If it’s mistaken, it should be easy to explain why. Otherwise I’m inclined to believe it’s merely an uncomfortable truth.

Would your employer pay you to HN all day? If not, precisely how much of your day are they comfortable with you HN’ing? Are you sure it’s officially approved?
We don't require Yandex CLA:

Anyway, Yandex CLA will be removed in the upcoming days (it should be already removed).
Then keep looking. I'm a liberal, minority techie living on a farm: one of my base requirements for moving here 15 years ago was at least a minimal amount of wired broadband.

This summer the phone company has been pulling fiber all over the place. I was told that it's not going to be put in use until next year, but at least they're planning ahead.

Especially after the last year and a half of distance learning and working from home, there is a big push all over the place to get faster internet connections because the people already living out here are demanding it.
Where do you store private photos
My wife and I have some intimate photos. They're actually pretty tame, but nothing we'd want anyone else to see. I'd rather not store them on any cloud service, anything online has the potential to be public.

I tried using a USB flash drive that encrypts itself when unmounted. It has a physical keypad to unencrypt. However when using with an iPhone the photos become corrupt as there is no "unmount" method on the iPhone.

Any other ideas?
This is great thank you.

Show HN: Screenr – Block Recruiter Spam Effortlessly
Screenr blocks job spam and hides your email address. It’s perfect for everywhere you used to list your email, like “Who Wants To Be Hired?” You can also add your own custom questions that you want companies to answer upfront. Too often companies avoid giving concrete answers about job offerings or double back on vague promises later. Screenr eliminates this ambiguity — if you want to know what the minimum and maximum salary range is, just add it as a custom question to your Screenr. You can use Screenr on resumes, Hacker News profiles, or anywhere you would otherwise share your email. If you want to add a brief bio and your full name you can do that too. You can use Screenr to fight back against vague LinkedIn messages, or even use it as a first response to cold emails.

Try out the product here:
https://www.screenr.app/

Here’s a sample Screenr profile:
https://www.screenr.app/?id=mkcMfL

Please try out the product and let me know if there’s anything you’d like added. You don’t even need an account to use the product and making your own Screenr takes less than 60 seconds. Responses to your Screenr’s will get emailed directly to you (small note, I am working on getting SES sending out of sandbox but Amazon is being slow so responses are getting forwarded from a previously production approved email blocktimize.io from a previous side project), I’ll move it over to info@screenr.app once that’s approved but the sending email really doesn’t matter.
I didn't really get the "why" from this article. Some language at the end suggests it's related to climate initiatives, in that, if European countries move to cap prices they will risk failing climate goals.

Seems like there should have been much more investment in nuclear...
I’m switching to a Linux phone but recently upgraded from a Gen 1 SE to the newer models and I’ll be purchasing another SE as a backup phone instead once I make the leap because I personally think the no headphone port and larger screen (even on the Mini) is a very powerful phone but also worse to use in many ways. Long live Gen 1 SE.
Great read. For those who enjoyed reading this, you might also enjoy this [1] short video series on dimensions math (direct link to the YouTube playlist [2]). The videos encompass some of the history of the mathematics, along with a number of animations to help the viewer get an idea how one can visualize a higher dimensional object in a lower dimensional space.

The creators also have a series on chaos math [3].

Just out of curiosity, assuming your internal batteries are charged to the max (e.g. after a sunny day), about how long can you go if it starts snowing or is very cloudy, before you need to start pumping in natural gas?

Maybe my understanding of how it all works using your own solar panel and the neighborhood's gas lines is too simplistic, though, to answer.

I'd expect this policy to tank the real estate market, causing rents to fall along with it.

It's the same in Germany.

Yep, indeed. Especially once they realize it's the developer they are writing with, not a support agent. I always have mixed feeling about it, because I don't deserve to be better treated than the frontline workers of our company.

So maybe it's a western thing after all?

Stocks and equities in the US have been going up for 10+ and the infusion of "trillions of extra dollars" wasn't present for all of those years. Canada has had increasing home prices, barely slowing down in 2008, and it hasn't had QE.
Something that's a stark difference between US-style healthcare and British socialised-style healthcare is I don't get a yearly checkup in the UK - it's just not a service they offer. When I ask about this some people say it's not needed any way... not sure if that's right or not.
I really like the bottom tab bar in Safari; however the screenshot is very unfortunate, it shows a website with the mobile hamburger menu icon at the very top. Looks like the need to reach the top part of the screen is still there. I wonder if this will be the reality, at least for a while.

good explanation summarizing my critique as well
On one level that's great and I'm certainly glad you made it work.

On another level, and bearing in mind that Confluence is a paid product, this absolutely should not be necessary and competent search is something that Atlassian should provide out of the box.

(Yes, I have beef with Confluence, but in my case it's primarily due to the historically awful editing experience.)
Initial Safari design was quite different from what shipped today (beta process worked!). The main differences were: all the buttons where crammed into the address field, dropping the toolbar (shipping design returned the toolbar), and the address bar was floating over content, detached from the bottom. This caused many sites to break.
Even though social security is administered as a pay-go program, the amount of social security you can withdraw is based on how much you put in. This makes it much more like a forced savings account than a tax.

I think it's easier to approach higher dimensions without talking about spatial dimensions at all.

For example - Darts in Higher Dimensions, 3blue1brown and Numberphile - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_yU9eJ0NxA

Or even more trivially, you can think of a table where every row is some entity and every column is some attribute associated to it. For example, make a spreadsheet where each row is a person and the columns are age, height, weight, salary, and years to retirement - then you can think of each person as a point in 5-d space. And some properties are intuitively obvious - for example as you keep adding more columns it becomes more difficult to find people who are similar to each other. It's a pretty accessible way to introduce high dimensions without talking about tessaracts.
While I understand the fear of nuclear, especially in Europe where Chernobyl took place, I find it kind of silly that countries like Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Belgium, etc are shutting down THEIR nukes, while bordering France (and other countries) who aren't shutting them down.

Do they imagine that the radiation / fallout from their neighbor's catastrophe would respect national borders?

> 1. In a very very infinitesimally unmeasurably minor manner.

Great point. And to explicit what you're alluding to: we live in a world where factories around the world are running 24/7 producing trillions of items with infinitesimally small values relative to global wealth. But none-the-less, these goods at up to real value.
