Twitter kindly gave me a heads up on the UK CO2 shortage a few days ago, maybe on account of the algorithm being aware that CO2 is one of my interests.

This carbon dioxide shortage, experienced by a beverage company, is caused by fertilizer plants shutting down, on account of natural gas prices being too high, on account of the wind not blowing and the weather turning cooler.

The real CO2 storage problem will be with the lack of CO2 to slaughter chickens and pigs.

I speculate that food grade (clean) CO2 is easier to source from the fertilizer factory than by capturing it from the flue of a power plant.

I've seen it only once. One manager, not in my department, had a high turnover. Staff were either fired, quit, or transfered. Senior management eventually stepped in and discovered this guy was pretty toxic. But they couldn't simply fire him. Since he was well-connected in the industry they gave him time to find another senior position.

> The people advancing the CICO idea have obviously never struggled with their weight.

...I've lost over 150lbs and am a staunch advocate of CICO as really the only thing that matters for weight loss.

> there is nothing I could ever do to be as "skinny" as the skinny people I know, all of whom eat and drink way more than me, and usually don't exercise at all.

Let's be fair here: you can be as skinny as them, it'll just be extremely hard and very unpleasant. I get where you're coming from though, it is difficult not to harbor an extreme amount of resentment for these people and the universe that didn't favor you in the same way. I have literally said to some people like this that, if I thought it would work, I would eat them to gain their power. For people like us, it is incredibly difficult to pull off.

> CICO is not real advice, it's telling people to develop eating disorders, i.e. starve themselves. And for what? To bolster the ego of you and the ~60% of people who are naturally less likely to accumulate body fat, who like to believe they are just smarter or know something about nutrition that people like me don't. But it's exactly the opposite. I know more about nutrition than any of my skinny friends. Social pressure has demanded that I do so. It doesn't actually help, and the smugness of commenters on HN doesn't either.

CICO works, and yeah I'd definitely say that for people like us it amounts to developing an eating disorder[0]. I'm also continually frustrated by my skinny unable-to-gain weight friends and workout collogues who, mistakenly, believe they know something I don't. Some of them have hyperthyroidism, their experience of food and weight gain is a completely different reality from minie.

Without special efforts metabolism decreases naturally with age (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/8361073/)

Even with special efforts, it’s only slowing/delaying the process, so progressively eating less is natural anyway.
It's a matter of scale. You can perform opportunistic small scale mitm attacks on wifi. Maybe that is a concern for interactive websites. But servers that only host static content, why do they need encryption?

And how would you find out if a cdn was misbehaving, especially in the context of gag orders? And even if we did find out, it's out in the open that Facebook and Google is doing all this really invasive tracking, yet nobody seems to be leaving them in any hurry.
I may be wrong, but I believe one caveat here is apt may not always have some version of packages available. I believe only the latest one in each `deb-src` is available.

I think it is worth pointing out that the Lucas-Penrose argument goes beyond Gödel's disjunction: apparently Gödel himself could not rule out both sides of his disjunction being true, but Penrose, expanding Lucas's argument[1] to book length, thinks he can. It seems, however, that most experts now find their arguments inadequate[2], and the speaker in this video is prominent among them.

Wikipedia has a short summary of some of the objections[3], and I think Minsky's is particularly to the point: as humans can believe false ideas to be true, human mathematical understanding need not be consistent and consciousness may easily have a deterministic basis.

Where are you getting that number from? "something like" makes it sound like you're just guessing.

Just the differences between men and women alone account for 500cal/day, so it would likely be substantially more at the 5th and 95th percentiles.

"they eat twice as much as me and don't gain weight while I do" seems 100% possible if you compare a 100 pound woman with a 300 pound man.

It's all performative and a distraction from the fact that the Met Gala is literally an event for rich people to show off their incredibly expensive clothes that will only be worn once. Unmasked while the servant class is masked, helping them get ready, carrying their dresses and serving them food and drink.

Tax the rich is a fully coopted slogan and is in fashion among the ruling class. Wearing a dress that reflects their fashion is not storming the Bastille or making them uncomfortable at all. They loved it and it worked great, considering how many peasants are defending their largesse during a pandemic. Get back to me when Senators worth $50M and the attendees who paid $35,000 for a ticket are actually getting taxed.

I think the missing pole in the tent of weight loss is that we don't acknowledge the psychology of it. Everyone who is overweight knows that they should eat less and move more. What always gets lost is the how. How do I consistently do this in the face a stressful life and constant time pressure? Everyone can walk past a tray of cookies once at the beginning of the day. After a stressful meeting where you were yelled at by your boss? No so easy and you may even eat two.

Like you said, exercise is important for overall health but is a horrible way to lose weight. We are going to eat cake at lunch because we claim we will workout later (but then don't). Exercising takes time to do, to change, to shower, to travel. People are likely to overeat after exercising because they feel famished even though they burned a fraction of the calories they think they did. I think people are probably better served with intermittent fasting and trying hard to control their grocery shopping to keep binge-able foods out of the house. The challenge here is if you are the only person in the house trying to lose weight.

We need a better life hack to lose weight in the 21st century. We are going to lie to ourselves about what we will do or why we didn't. This is actually the brilliance of the Planet Fitness pricing model. The majority of their customers barely go but for $10/month you can lie to yourself that you are "trying" and it is cheap enough to prevent cancellation. I think this is why people have initial success on WW or NutriSystem because it takes a lot of the mental load away. Don't think, just follow instructions.
Well, the latter point also does concern the PRC, which still exists, I'd guess that's why.

Well, I agree with that, but I think this implies that the article is disinformation. The author knows that millions of dollars spent on climate policy advocacy is pretty good compared to a lot of businesses; she writes "their engagement is almost nonexistent" not because that's an accurate assessment, but because she was paid to frame it this way by a climate policy group (https://www.theclimatepledge.com/us/en/Signatories) which four of the five companies haven't joined.

> the only reason I had to fire someone was because WE screwed up in the interview process.

This is a very important realization. Firing someone is bad all around. They lose their job, they probably quit another job to join, they feel shame' etc. For the company: you not only need to go hire someone but the person you fired was probably not productive so it’s a double whammy. And you didn’t manage to somehow (if it was even possible) give this person what they needed to succeed. Bad bad bad all around. Hiring someone is a responsibility not only to the company but to them; terminating someone who can’t be productive is the right thing to do but is the company’s failure.

The converse to the “don’t joke about firing someone” is, when firing someone don’t mention how you feel about it; also be unambiguous and don’t accidentally give false hope.

Anecdotal reports here: I got diagnosed with Type II diabetes in the spring, after many years of being overweight. I've had a lot of success in losing weight (about 10 lbs a month), and while it is too early to make any claims, here's what I've found:

- The continuous glucometer has been very helpful. I've made a big effort to keep glucose down around 100 most of the time. For me, anyhow, this will almost automatically cause weight loss -- I just don't find it possible to eat enough of non-sugary foods not to lose weight.

- Fiber makes a huge difference. Fruit results in much slower glucose rises than, say, bread.

- Walking about an hour a day, on average, also helps. I don't think it's primarily because of the calories used (modest) so much as it keeps blood glucose in control, and that reduces the insulin spikes that create hunger.

All of this makes me think it might be controlling insulin spikes that really matters. It's not a "keto" diet, per se, but controlling blood glucose has somewhat of that effect.
I guess it's all stars now if updated anyway, so not super interesting.

I stop reading articles like the parent when it goes into "spending time with other people". That's not me. I have no interest in a social life, and when a social life intrudes on me, I usually have to work hard to de-socialize my life.

I could write a similar article about "How to use a social life in a healthy way", which for me would be to minimize it.

My life might be "limiting", but that's when I'm having the best time: I work and work out (a lot) and adventure on weekends and that's about it.. Mostly with my son, sometimes with my partner, frequently alone, and almost never with other people. When I do it with other people, I never have the deep dive experience that I want in those endeavors. They detract from it, for me.

For other people, it's the exact opposite. My partner doesn't like to do any of those things alone, and often seeks out others for them.

Different strokes for different folks, but my buttoned down, limited life is exactly what makes me happy. That said, I don't push it on others, but I do like reading material about living the solitary life, or the goodness of being alone, or quiet.
Real World Database Latency
I think it is also affected by the slight increase in ground effect as the wing flies closer to the runway surface. so the pitching down is somewhat offset by the increase in wing efficiency--and probably a set of other interplaying factors. The G280 has huge barn-door flaps that extend well below the wing, so reducing the distance between these flaps and the runway may result in an appreciable increase in lift (the wing is affected by ground effect if it is <1 wingspan from the ground)

It's subjective, but that doesn't make it nonexistent. I pay $10/mo. for Spotify. I'm happy with that. I think I get great value for that money spent. If someone came out with an $8/month streaming service, I'd scrutinize it fairly closely before contemplating switching.
From experience, updating constantly is a pretty great way to break things anyway. This way at least I am able to keep my system stable and working the way I want it to for longer, until I'm ready to deal with it potentially breaking.
I wish more creative people of all types had the backbone to say this in public. Too many consumers are entirely too entitled and think they have the right to make demands on people who create what they only consume.
"Adopting Google's engine" is an interesting turn of phrase. There's still more Apple-contributed code at the core of Blink than Google code. It's not like Google did a full rewrite when they forked Webkit to create Blink.

When you think about it, at this point the Chromium project (including the Blink engine) has "contributions" in some sense or another from Microsoft, Google, Apple, and KDE. Certainly, it's a project mostly run and stewarded by Google employees in their off-hours; but there are actually a lot of interests involved! (Especially now; I expect Microsoft has likely switched their Edge browser engineering team to to writing PRs for Chromium.)

But all of those factors are included under "body uses less energy", no?

UPDATE: But I do understand what you're saying. Exercise can lower your BMR as the body tries to conserve energy. If that reduction is not met by a reduction in calories consumed, it stands to reason that you can actually gain weight after starting exercising. So gotta watch out for those lethargic days after lots of exercise.

> not to mention "eat" some of your nonfat muscle mass.

From my unscientific experience, for most people that should be accompanied by reduction in fat, too.
