One of the selling points or main assumptions of the keto diet is that dietary cholesterol doesn’t contribute to circulating cholesterol. Not saying I defend that argument, but it can’t be both safe to eat endless amounts of cholesterol because it never affects your cholesterol levels and the lack thereof causing low cholesterol (probably/these are chaotic, nonlinear systems we’re taking about.)

Having said that, correlation is not causation. Maybe people with depression have a correlation with other things that also correlate with factors that lower cholesterol (ie poverty and poor food choices).
He shouldn't and the fault is with the chat app. Why doesn't his chat app have a setting that allows him to set his availibility?
Yeah. In Germany it starts with regular assault/battery ("Körperverletzung"). This is a fine up to 5 years imprisonment. But if you do the assault in a group or with a weapon or really any tool or it's a "sneaky" attack or the way you do it life-threatening it them becomes a "dangerous" assault ("gefährliche Körperverletzung") which has a prison sentence of 6 months to 10 years (3 months to 5 years for "less severe" cases) but it never ends in a fine.

If you slap somebody, you'll likely get a fine, which is issued as "so and so many day's rates" (Tagessätze), which means e.g. you can get a fine of "20 day's rates" i.e. you'll have to pay the equivalent of 20 days worth of income, calculated based on your monthly net income divided by 30 days and capped at 1 EUR to 30000 EUR per day.

A prison sentence can be issued as a suspended sentence if it is 24 months or less, which is up to the discretion of the judge(s). You only have to go to prison if you receive another prison sentence for another crime in a time frame specified by the judge, or if you violate any of the additional requirements a judge may issue. If I remember correctly about 70-80% of all prison sentences below 24 months are issued as suspended sentences, and only a tiny fraction of people end up going to prison because the suspension is lifted later for some reason.

However realistically even the "dangerous" variant quite often ends in a light sentence of a couple of months which is then usually issued as a suspended sentence. This depends on what happened, the level of involvement and previous criminal history if any and whether you confess and show remorse. However, the suspension of a sentence is usually contiguous on you paying everything you owe, from damages for pain and suffering to the court fees.

FWIW I had a similar behavior on my (work) MacBook pro for a while. I'd unplug it from my screen for the weekend and find it overheated with a dead battery.

Turns out I kept bumping the Bluetooth mouse which kept waking it up, and it would stay awake for a while, even with the screen closed. Disabling the permission for Bluetooth devices to wake it fixed it, but I had a couple of Mondays where I couldn't do anything for a half hour while the machine charged up enough to boot.
The fat bad and cholesterol bad is also based on "linear thinking" - the problem is metabolic systems are decidedly nonlinear and have feedback loops which is 100% incompatible with linear system modeling.

Well, do you “believe in science”? or are you persuaded after reading thousands of boring papers? which contradict each other? Philosophically, if you have an opinion, then it’s not science. More pragmatically, if science converges with an ideology, then the probability is high that both the researchers and the filtering networks have enough bias to invert the results to match the ideology.

As an amateur, I read everything I can about why the US's current nuclear construction attempts have failed, and my conclusion is exactly the reverse. The problem is a lack of scrutiny and attention to detail, poor planning, bad logistics, and general incompetence.

The NRC reviews only the safety of reactors, not if it's a constructible design. If somebody had held Westinghouse to the standard of having constructible designs, in addition to safe designs, maybe the disasters at Vogtle and VC Summer might have been avoided.

That's super awesome for that data scientist, but the question for a business is can/should you structure yourself in such a way that you NEED employees with that cornercase level of joint expertise.

The answer is you really can't. Individuals have awesome strengths that they developed for reasons particular to them. Use those strengths when you can. But the business has to rely on a common denominator of a role or else it'll never fill it when their unicorn leaves to go backpacking in Europe.
I absolutely consider xdg-decoration to be the common ground because it gives behavior similar to Windows, X11, macOS, BeOS, and just about every other platform out there. If someone’s X11 WM doesn’t give them window borders, that’s fine: they probably have a lot of apps with no window borders, that’s probably the point of their WM. Sorry, but GTK 3+ apps will look wildly out of place in any tiling WM whereas apps using xdg-decoration will be just fine.

Consider the following: any compositor can choose to support xdg-decoration and get automatic support, apparently including for libdecor. It is definitely defacto common ground, because every other compositor becomes a special case.

I will grant you that I didn’t know libdecor supported xdg-decoration. I attempted to read the source code once and entirely missed it, possibly because I was focusing too hard on the plugins aspect.

Anyways, this is going too far off the deep end now. Yes I understand that Dolphin will never look as native under GNOME as Nautilus. However, it is not even close to how ridiculously non-native Nautilus looks under KDE; it’s simply no contest. It looks like a funny VMWare Unity Mode demo rather than interoperability.

I’m also well aware that Wayland is built to not require something like xdg-decoration, but we’re at an impasse because you view that as a feature and I view it as a bug.

>Clearly, the next step is to create a fake origin tracing firm.

The possibilities for disruption are endless.

One of the factors that influences international trade is the way a successfully loaded cargo can then change hands during transit or be diverted to a different destination port according to market forces.

The middlemen in this process have strong incentive to conceal the true cost per tonne of the wholesale material from the inquisitive beancounters of the ultimate payers.

The true origin may or may not be handled accordingly, depending on how important it is to avoid having the consumers begin sourcing the material more directly from the manufacturing facility, thereby bypassing some middlemen who could become disgruntled.

It might be a better business proposition to not swim against the flow of cargo ships.

It could be more lucrative being the firm which issues the best fake origin documents rather than the one revealing the true source using advanced scientific techniques.

It's always paid to expedite cargo and frowned upon to introduce any delays.

Don't ask me how I know.

Then again you could take it one step further and have a completely fake firm . . .

Looks like the stock would be worth about $200k today. No regrets, I got to listen to New Order on the bus.

Much the same, one year carnivore as of last week. Physically I'm greatly improved. Mentally I'm happier and less fragile, and I've been particularly productive at work.

But my cholesterol has risen and my doctor wants me on statins. Brain fog is a common side effect of those. I declined. I don't believe my higher cholesterol is dangerous in a carnivore context, but even if it were, I would tend to choose a clear mind and a sudden death over a fogged mind and longer life.

I also have extended strict vegan experience, and stopped partly due to brain fog.

> there‘s often a point where it starts being bothersome

My team and I have been using Python for web, scripting, and ETL development since 2007. I don't recall the last time Python wasn't "fast enough" for anything I needed to do. I'm sure it's legitimately too slow for plenty of use cases and classes of programming domains. But for a general purpose language that makes our developers incredibly productive (which is what we optimize for organizationally), I've not "often" found the point where it becomes bothersome. On the contrary, I'd say I've rarely found it. And in those cases, the workaround to make it fast enough is there.

That's not to dispute your experience. I just want to provide a counter example.
The notion of program optimization here is rather odd, as programs can refer to other programs in a single instruction. For example, the program for the prime numbers is

seq $0,6005 ; The odd prime numbers together with 1.
max $0,2

and if we go down the rabbit hole, we find that the program for A006005 uses the instruction

seq $0,98090 ; Numbers k such that 2k-3 is prime.

where the A098090 program in turn uses

seq $3,10051 ; Characteristic function of primes: 1 if n is prime, else 0.

and this pattern continues with 4 programs containing instructions

seq $1,80339 ; Characteristic function of {1} union {primes}: 1 if n is 1 or a prime, else 0.

seq $0,38548 ; Number of divisors of n that are at most sqrt(n).

seq $0,94820 ; Partial sums of A038548.
seq $1,94820 ; Partial sums of A038548.

seq $0,132106 ; a(n) = 1 + floor(sqrt(n)) + Sum_{i=1..n} floor(n/i).

Where at last the program for A132106 doesn't use the seq instruction.

There also seems to be a danger here of creating cyclic definitions.

That's not true, considering that "Peter Daszak, despite coming out forcefully against the lab leak theory, and purposely downplaying his involvement with the lab in so doing, and being inexplicably selected as a member of the WHO team to investigate the lab origin theory, completely neglected to mention having made this proposal a mere two years prior", as well as myriad other deliberate misinformation from Peter.
