> Our digestive systems do not extract 10% of available energy from all consumed food, and the amount we do extract varies based on a number of different factors including microbiome, expression of certain hormones (e.g. insulin), etc.

Do you have a citation for this? Here's one saying almost the opposite:

> Carbohydrates, protein, fats, and alcohol—the dietary macrocomponents—are the sources of energy in the diet. Under normal circumstances, more than 95% of this food energy is digested and absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract to provide the body's energy needs. Studies of normal and overweight subjects have not shown any significant differences in the proportion of food energy absorbed. In some underweight subjects, however, malabsorption of nutrients is an important factor.

Wouldn't it be more accurate to ask how many people, who have had children, regret it because of the climate crisis?

Most people are afraid to have kids (even those who ultimately decide to take the leap) - it's a big decision! And we know people are prone to rationalize their PoV using any plausible device necessary. So it's kind of hard to take this at face-value.

Hi hugs!

I've been working to document everything I've done with Gridbeam, and related tech here: https://wiki.replimat.org/wiki/Main_Page

I lived with Phil and RJ Jergenson for a couple years around 2012, tried to learn from their experience and mistakes. They weren't happy with 1ft lengths in every project, even though they were an improvement in reusability over all lengths free-for-all. I've since moved all the replimat designs to use lengths 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 only. Which allows for center pivots and divisible-by-two lengths whereas the Jergensons could only divide by two. We also hit countertop height a little better. Little tweaks.

I try to communicate with everyone listed in the "Friends" section on the right hand side of https://www.replimat.org/ regularly. I'm excited that things seem to be gathering steam for all of us.
People doing CICO don't assume that all which is why "your number" where you lose weight varies person to person, diet to diet, and changes over time. CICO just says that a number exists where you'll lose weight.
Policy strategies for value-based technology standards
Thanks for taking the time to write down your thoughts! I deeply appreciate it!

My bad I was not concrete. What I've meant by "this/that" the entire "find the docs - read the docs - program/generate your client using the docs/OAS - maintain your client forever" when we can have application that will do all this without our intervention.

> I'm never not going to need API documentation because it's not just syntax. It also tells me how the vendor's object model works. It tells me the right order to make API calls, how to know my rate limit, and how to choose permissions for my API keys that are as narrow as possible.

Ideally, you should only need to understand the business logic of the API and not how to achieve it, that part can be figured out by your app.

Self-integration approach does not force you to harmonize the offerings. It just abstract you away from the APIs using the business layer (as you are already doing using you classes).

You might try to harmonize some of the vendors if that is what you like, but that is not the gist. With Some vendors and in certain domains it might make sense - that's why we see domain integrators. With others, it either does not make sense or it is not commercially viable. Either way, you can have your app integrating on the abstraction level without you caring about the technicalities.

The sad truth is that vendors in the first place don't want their offerings to be interchangeable. But that is for another discussion.

Also, it is great to hear that codegen from OAS works for you!

> losing first-party support from the API vendor and having yet another layer to have to debug

1. if your app self-integrates you will not loose that
2. you have this layer already in your hexagonal / clean architecture wrappers, what is worse, everyone is bikeshedding, writing this part over and over

I think social media companies need to build two graphs:

1. interest graph
2. s(he) spends money on graph

There are A LOT of things that I am interested in that social media companies cannot monetize on. But there is also A TON of things they can. While number of companies are fairly great at #1, absolutely not a single on is even remotely decent at the #2.
> It's my understanding they dropped a lot of gifted program material and are adding this.

This is false on many levels. Th concept of industrial-style tracked education is generally falling out of favor and being displaced by individualized curriculum adaptation with ad hoc, temporary, subject-specific shared learning groups of similar ability, and in math particularly there has been a recent and controversial change both implementing that change in methods and a change in focus for advanced learning toward deeper concept mastery rather than rushing through more concepts. Which certainly can be (and on HN has been, though people want to seem to rehash it in this thread with no new arguments) its own debate, but is not deleting material and then adding this.
So an EU commission thinks google should not be allowed to show you results from their specialized product search at the top of a results page when it thinks you're comparison shopping because rival comparison shop services can't do that? Because:

there would be a risk that a company once dominant in one market (even if this resulted from competition on the merits) would be able to use this market power to cement/further expand its dominance, or leverage it into separate markets

I mean -- yes. This is how many/most businesses grow. They leverage their existing dominance in one market to fund their entry into the next. Lather, rinse, repeat. I don't have a problem with that at all.

Is there kind of a slippery slope fear here? That if a business takes this to the extreme that they will swallow up all the other companies and then consumers will have no choice but to subject themselves to the abuse of this one company that has no incentive to treat their customers well?

Maybe that could happen, but we've never been close to that in the western world as far as I can tell. Until we get there, can we hold off on yanking the "government" ripcord? It seems to me whenever we've done that in the past, it's almost always lead to entrenchment of a particular business and not to more competition.

Also, have you taken a look at other comparison shopping sites? I mean, google shopping is far from great, but these other sites are just downright awful. Perhaps they should spend more time on bettering their product and less time schmoozing EU bureaucrats. And if they didn't do that, then certainly those EU bureaucrats have some more important issues to focus on that actually matter to the citizens they serve than inventing imagined "crimes of monopoly" that have zero victims.
> take a look at earning reports

Aye, I think that’s the point I’m making. Earning reports are for public companies. The company is part of society’s communal wealth if it’s publishing a quarterly earning report. Check out the companies not posting quarterly earning reports - because they aren’t publicly traded - and not building towards a public offering; I don’t think you’d find this same “culture.”

In your scenarios, the public communally purchased shares of future growth, priced in against the stated goals - and the public’s confidence the company would reach those goals.

What other outcome would you expect? If you think this is the market being irrational, you -personally- can buy at the “failure” price. If you’re right, you’ll do well over a long time horizon.
>I don't imagine it was hard, the police in the UK spend an awful lot of time dealing with people with some kind of mental illness.

Yes, its unfortunate they have to spend so much time dealing with their colleagues and lawmakers.
Not ironic at all. One of the arguments against WebSQL and for IndexedDB was that the web platform should incorporate a lower level API and that the library ecosystem could then experiement with how to interact with that API at a higher level.

> In retrospect, I wish Rust had adopted something like this since it took a lot of inspiration from Haskell anyways

Aside from the traits (typeclasses), most of the inspiration actually comes from OCaml/ML rather than Haskell. The philosohpy is also way closer to the pragmatism of OCaml. I think Rust wouldn't be as popular as it is right now if IO needed a monad, like in Haskell. This would have been too much for a single language. I also don't think that monadic IO is the way. Maybe effects system will bring a more usable way of typing effects (Koka, OCaml soon), but I doubt that they'll come to Rust.
I have the opposite experience.

Eating high carb / junk food triggers cravings and overeating.

Eating protein, greens, etc... Makes eating the correct amount of calories much easier, as I actually feel full.

That said, my sister has the same experience as you. She can lose weight eating Pizza, as long as it's the correct amount of Pizza.
Doesn't appear to have a payload in the picture. That would add weight & power draw.
It's sad, but... nothing.

The things that I do find interesting are usually expensive, which crushes any interest. I hate my job and mostly see technology as torture due to it. Even if I want to work on an idea, I don't feel like staring at a screen after working my regular job.
Only 3 weeks, only 36 people, mixing men and women, all already lean. I don’t think any result here is relevant to any generalized conclusion, only to inform further research.
The classic CS route for readiness to take ToC is programming+data structure (which if you are asking about taking ToC course, you probably have under your belt)

Then algos which is usually the first time a student encounter asymptotic analysis (but like baby steps, its usually like only the first 3 weeks of the course and then the students use those skills during the course, like practice.)

Some schools offer a discrete math course which I think helps everyone get up to speed on the math required, but, depending on your background can seems like a lot (I still remember it feeling like a lot to me, and I took it mannnnnny moons ago.)

So I would call both of those "post" courses.

To answer your question about C v C:

As a first pass, it is fair to think of a computation as a calculation because they are the same thing many times! But I wouldn't, for example, consider controls (like a for loop) as a calculation but it is very much part of your model of computation (or if you are doing functional, a for-loop is not part of your model.)

The two sentence elevator pitch for ToC is "You rigorously define and learn three increasing more powerful models of computation, then you find out that there are many more models, but they are not more powerful. So then you quantify and analyze what that condition means and how it effects our ability to compute actual hard problems."
Yep, if you rely on exploiting your physiology and eating totally different foods to lose weight and maintain then it's going to be a struggle if you ever want to go back to normal.
This is very cool. Shame to see the original website is down though.

> These studies just reaffirm tribal and racial differences between Americans. If you were Russia or China, eagerly awaiting the strategic downfall of America (which can only come from within), you'd happily champion and fund these sort of studies.

It's worth noting that this isn't the only dysfunction that will likely lead to the "the strategic downfall of America (which can only come from within)." It's just another instance of the broader problem of a comfort with (and even preference for) disunity and the inability for factions to come together and compromise for the greater good. Another recent instance is the debt-limit brinkmanship. I think what underlies is it a lazy assumption that America's position is forever secure, so internecine ideological squabbles can take priority.

Facebook optimizes the content from the social graph to try to make the derived interest graph better.

I would love if Facebook pruned my social graph. I still have a ton of FB friends from 2008-2010 when I joined FB and was active. But most of those people don't matter to my life much anymore. Why does FB think they do? Because they haven't pruned my graph based on my interactions.

So FB becomes less useful to me.

That said, I think any network with a monolithic graph (or incentives to have one) will run into the problem you outline (where you need to supplement the network with external tools/solutions).
The part that it gets right, though, is that way too many people are lying to themselves about how many calories they are actually consuming. It's not like the average overweight-obese person is sitting at 2000 calories a day and can't figure out why they aren't losing weight. They're eating 1000 calories a meal, drinking soda, eating snacks.

Sure there are metabolic outliers and everyone loves to bring them up. They are, however, outliers. Horrible diet and a sedentary lifestyle are the main culprits where calories in/out very much holds.
Welfare in 21st century: the impact of climate change and the cost of policies
The right valuation is determined by people rejecting job offers (or leaving current jobs) and accepting job offers. Repeated cleared transactions is what allows a market to determine the price.
Right, because society itself evolved where societies that promote too much violence don't survive and those which do not do, thus the societies that are extant and have survived for a period of time have accumulated wisdom stored in their transmitted values, beliefs, moral codes, and customs.

Including the basic wisdom of understanding that having at least a replacement level of kids is a requirement for the society to survive. Societies that lacked this wisdom aren't around anymore.

So both genetic and social pressures point the same direction, which is why there is both biological pressure as well as social pressure to have kids. I have yet to see any traditional society that discourages children. Deviate from this learned wisdom at your peril.

How Partytown's Sync Communication Works
Am I wrong in thinking alternative architectures could make it harder to develop software, and a lot of boneheadedness is a result of backwards compatibility? We already have ASICs for very specific processing applications, so I'm not sure society is suffering a huge opportunity cost. That said; I'm not a computer engineer or architect, or even anything close. Also the 'oopsies slow paths' thing is actually business horse shit, and I have heard that rumor substantiated by quite a number of people.

I'm down for open source architectures, but our manufacturing technology is not ready to support DIY processors yet, even at low speeds. Solving the manufacturing process could go a long way to spurring competitive processor architectures.

> That's still hypocrite. You block off every ads on the internet, but still display your own. Your business model is still based on the "watchtime" but you forbid actual content creators to benefit from it. It was the same thing with adblock plus. Having a stance against ads is one thing, relying on them while blocking the whole internet of their revenue is a dick move.

That's a different accusation after you tried to state your lie. Brave has an opt-in text notification rewards program.

It's common to run ad blockers in other browsers because ads have become so intrusive. Yes you should subscribe, donate, etc. if you frequent a website, but you shouldn't have to view ads against your will.

Brave has that adblocking built in for the user foremost. The rewards network is to allow those who need to block ads to donate to the website owner instead. When you use FireFox and uBlock, you don't have the option if that site owner doesn't have a PayPal etc.

> They accept donations for creators without their consent. It is now clear on the module when a creator has no account yet to receive the tips but at launch it wasn't the case. They lured users into donating and used this money to contact creators and try to leverage the generosity of their community to bring them on board. That's quite a low growth hacking tactic.

> They accept donations for creators without their consent.

If they don't create a wallet and accept the funds are returned to the donor, Brave doesn't keep it.
The problem is over consumption, and shiny, new, must-have electric cars just encourage more of it. The majority of a cars carbon footprint comes from its manufacturing, so it's actually more carbon friendly to run your old ICE car for as long as possible, rather than trade it in for a new EV.
