IF is great. IF + low(ish) carb is even better. IF + low(ish) carb + eating calorie amounts matching your healthy weight is amazing.

There is more than one way to lose weight just like there is for gaining weight. Minimize as many of the offending behaviors as possible. Consistency is key. Don't pick something you cannot consistently repeat unless that limited time run is all you're after.

Of the different IF schedules people pick -OMAD, 20:4, 16:8, 5:2, etc-, start with anything that you can do initially without getting frustrated and giving up. You will be able to increase the fasting window over time. It just really works.

Don't get discouraged by words from people that tried and failed (or gave up too quickly), or not even tried but talk out of prejudice. Listen to the encouragement from so many that successfully do it.

Best of luck!!
I remember, without having googled anything additionally, studies where Malaria infections and lead exposition had a negative effect on final IQ, whereas deworming treatments and longer school attendance had a positive effect.
Ask HN: How do you feel about Slack?
Slack (and its contemporaries) have dominated the last 5+ years of my professional life. I also see it becoming pervasive in open-source projects.

I am not a fan, I think it has reshaped our communication to our detriment -- repackaging our availability as a feature.

What has been your experience? I'm particularly intereted in hearing from people who value it.
Really? Stable-coins as a concept have existed for years, and in practice have blown up in trading volume and circulation the past 2 years.

USDC stable-coin [0]($34 Billion in circulation) is arguably the most trustworthy in terms of having a 1 to 1 exchangeable backing through a regulated centralized custodian (Circle/Coinbase primarily but also BlockFi and other entities that hold USD reserves for exchange).

Many of these entities (as well as "DeFi" decentralized finance platforms that use Ethereum or similar smart contracts to decentralize the process) allow for various forms of deposit and lending accounts that provide a whole range of yields way way above traditional banking deposits. On top of this, some of these custodians add an additional layer of payment ability to these deposit accounts. Crypto.com[1] for example has a Visa debit card that ties into your USDC/stable coin deposits that you can transact from, in theory avoiding needing to use fiat at all. As well as "CD-like" 3-month lockups where you can get 8-12% yield.

There are also many decentralized stable coins that have various forms of over-collateralized crypto-asset reserves backing the coin and algorithms to stabilize the value by buying or selling from these reserves, trading off possible volatility and uncertainty around peg to avoid centralization and KYC and other regulations of 1:1 backed coins.[2]

Enjoyed reading this. As much as I feel guilty watching YouTube I do at least feel I am doing something slightly more proactive than watching legacy TV or streaming in that I’m having to search for stuff that solves a need for me at that time, or at least judge how effective the YT algorithm is. I’m lucky to have the BBC and value it as an impartial news organisation but I haven’t watched one of their (or ITV or others) programmes for at least 5 years, even on iPlayer. It’s all YouTube for me and I don’t begrudge the Premium subscription at all - it’s changed my life so much for the better.

> Aren't illegal immigrants doing jobs that natural born citizens don't want to do? Farming, low pay contract work, etc.?

No, illegal immigrants are doing jobs that residents don't want to do (or can't do) at that price. They can afford to work for less because they're often working in order to send remittances, not to live a fulfilling, sustainable life, which is what they're hoping to do after they get back home.

> Businesses can't hire illegal immigrants on the books. They can't be waiters, retail workers, or other types of labor that the lower class depends on. So how does this impact America's poor and middle class? Absence of these workers should push prices higher.

Absence of those workers should push prices higher because it pushes labor costs higher - meaning that the effect you're noting here is evidence of the opposite of the claim you made immediately before. Absence of those workers should raise costs (which may or may not be reflected in prices), and also raise the salaries of people who work. Inflation is rising prices, rising wages, and falling debts.

Legalizing those workers and encouraging them to migrate their families here too would have the same effect, giving them the means to negotiate.

> H1B immigration [...] has never led to a decrease in the salaries of skilled workers. Software engineers have never made so much.

You're just making up the first part, and the second part is irrelevant to whether H1Bs lower salaries.

> More people working and living in the US will create more productivity and consumer demand, increasing the strength of our economy.

Lower wages = higher productivity. Lower wages != an increase in demand.

> Why all of the vilification?

Immigrants aren't the villains, the villains are these rationalizations for exploiting the precarious and brown for the sake of stockholders and owners. A quick an easy path to citizenship is just as objectionable to these people, because citizens have rights and can organize.
I also used (and loved) CrashPlan for years before they went in an odd direction!
The "stable" refers to the absence of massive short-term volatility. The purpose of stablecoins is "banking the unbanked" - in other words, allowing people to spend money who don't have bank accounts. At least I think that's what they're for. It allows people to use USD in the wild, wild west.
numbers:

> Burton cited data from France on males ages 12 to 29. It showed there were 13.3 cases of myocarditis per 100,000 people for Moderna’s vaccine compared with 2.7 cases per 100,000 people for the Pfizer vaccine.

> there were 86 breakthrough cases per 100,000 people for the Moderna vaccine. That compares to 135 breakthrough cases per 100,000 for Pfizer’s, he said

Are the differences meaningful? Assuming the data is real, Pfizer does seem quite a bit safer!
I do use Tarsnap for this reason.

That said, Tarsnap isn't free software, and doesn't come with the ability for me to self-host backups. Thus, I am somewhat at the mercy of Amazon.

Still, the advantages of Tarsnap currently outweigh the disadvantages in my opinion.

The claim fits with supply-demand curves.

If you're missing 2 million people who would happily take low wage jobs, and there are as many of those jobs to do, the price paid for that work has to go up.

That said, I suspect that the great resignation has a whole lot of impact as well. Again, reduced supply causing an increased price. (The ones who walk away from bad jobs into good ones not being as impactful as the ones who took early retirement post-COVID, accelerating a worrisome demographic trend of having lots of old people and few working age people.)

Mirroring doesn't deal with this because there's always a single target, elimination of which disrupts the whole system, since some time will pass until yet another person puts a target on his back, and there is the problem of finding out which one is legitimate in case if there are few successors.

The usual studies for disentangling genetics and environment involve twins raised together: they get basically the same shared environment -- this is a feature, not a bug -- but identical twins are more closely related than fraternal twins.

For example, say you're trying to find out how much of adult height comes down to genetics (in a modern, non-malnourished environment). You measure the heights of a bunch of twins and compare: how much more similar are the heights of identical twins than the heights of fraternal twins? Do a bit of calculating and you've got a number for heritability.

I've found that when I've structured things that way in the past I do have some performance issues if the grain is very small.

more importantly to me is that those machines dont really compose that well over larger scales - that is to add a new component I need to look at the overall scheduling and connectedness of the existing components and need to rework them to order to handle a new control flow.

it is a nice model. i think it isn't appropriate for some things, so I tend not to reach for it by default.

I agree with your last, which is very unfortunate in that if we could figure a way via research to shift upward the effectiveness of cognition (for which IQ is a proxy measure), I think peoples lives overall would be improved.

Some of these are interventions that we’ve already found to prevent wasting of ability (as you cite in another comment); others might be nutritional or environmental changes we could make to better support development in utero or as children develop.

Giving everyone 5% “better brains” would be a huge win for the world, but the sociological factors you mention preclude widespread scientific study.

This quickstart assumes some context that not every person starting to use Restic has. It could be improved by offering some more context for each line:

# RESTIC QUICKSTART FOR LINUX

# Choose were you want to save your backups

MYREPO=/mnt/mybackupdrive/somefolder

# Initialize a new restic repo at your chosen backup location

restic init -r $MYREPO

# Backup your files to the newly created repo

restic backup /my/files -r $MYREPO

# To restore a backup, first mount the repo

restic mount /mnt/backedup -r $MYREPO

# Browse the latest backup at /mnt/backedup/snapshots/latest

ls -la /mnt/backedup/snapshots/latest

# Copy the files you want to restore out of the repo

> Whether the problem is worth solving or the goal worth pursuing given the required energy is subjective, but beside the point.

No, it's very much not besides the point - and I'd argue it's one of the core issues with PoW and the reason why people are so appalled by it.

Yes, everything expends energy, but the special property of PoW is that the energy cost is intentional. Therefore it's fundamentally impossible to reduce the energy cost as that would defeat the whole point: If someone manages to find a more efficient way to mine, this is a threat to the network and has to be counteracted by raising the difficulty. Conversely, the amount of energy that can be expended for mining a single block is potentially unbounded, in contrast to other problems ehere the energy actually perform useful work.

This leaves belief whether or not the problem is worth pursuing as the only measure about the energy cost of PoW. And this belief is influenced by all kinds of factors from technical to financial to psychological. But it is generally not influenced by the amount of energy already spent.
This seems to have been public for quite a while. It's also how Userify.com imports public keys from Github.com for years (and also imports from Gitlab.com, which copied Github's approach.) For some reason, Userify itself doesn't also allow easy export of its users' public keys.
Azure is Microsoft's cash cow, and probably saved the company after its low point in the 2010s. Basically any tech company that doesn't want to use AWS (i.e. anyone working with retail) or Oracle (i.e. anyone who values their mental health) is going to use Azure for their infrastructure.
Yeah but this can extremely plastic. Snacking is something you do, not who you are :)

I ate 5 or 6 times a day for 15-20 years. I would eat 3 meals, a snack in the afternoon, and then something before bed. And probably more than that to be honest. I was as much of a snacker as anybody.

In April I switched to eating 2 meals a day. I was very hungry for literally 1 or 2 days, and then I just got used to it, and started to like it!

Before that I was on a pretty strict diet for ~4 years. But I relaxed the diet after changing the schedule, and lost about 5 lbs. So the heuristic of just eating twice a day turns out to be easier to maintain than a diet.

Go figure! It was kinda shocking. I do think "3 meals a day" is a relatively recent thing. Millions of people lived for thousands of years without eating 3 meals a day.

Some downsides: I eat bigger meals, and I notice a bigger "tired" crash after dinner. But I think that's better than feely slightly groggy multiple times a day. I definitely am more aware of the fact that eating "slows you down". I do think there is something to the "alert, fasted" state, and I would call that pleasant.

Also I might have slowly gained back the 5 pounds but I'm still under my target weight ("normal" BMI which is like 20th percentile). I think after 6 months your body probably gets used to it, and maybe I relaxed the diet a bit too much. I'll continue to tweak it in the future.

An upside not to be discounted is that I spend less time and money on food, and traveling is a lot easier as a result!

You can estimate it decently by looking at SAT scores, which most professors will have taken at some point. Your error bars will be larger than if you administered IQ tests to everyone, but it's a lot easier.
It's interesting, but what's the use case? I'm concerned about leaking secrets, since all command output is logged, and I'm concerned about denial of service, since it's easy to generate arbitrary amounts of output which would then be persisted (and I assume I could run bash within bash 10 times to 10x multiply my log output).

This is a rather elaborate con that is being poorly covered in a lot of media, largely because it is complicated to understand if you haven't been following it closely.

Both sides in the case before the courts here agree that Craig created Bitcoin and mined the Satoshi coins - the question is if he was in partnership with (now-deceased) Dave Kleiman and if the later is owed 50% of the ~1M Bitcoin.

The trial won't do much to "unmask" who Satoshi is since that isn't really what they're probing (the judge presiding has said as much)

Timeline of the Wright affair:

https://mylegacykit.medium.com/faketoshi-the-early-years-par...

My own post from when Craig first made these claim:

https://nikcub.me/posts/craig-wright-is-not-satoshi-nakamoto...

tl;dr on how we got here. Craig had a number of companies in Australia and made tax refunds against R&D investment, sales taxes paid. The tax office queried those refund and concession claims since they were so large (larger than what Google make in Australia and they're notably the largest). He couldn't provide hard receipts of the investment/spend in real dollars so claimed the money spent was in Bitcoin he mined because he created it.

He claimed that he purchased two SGI supercomputers using Bitcoin (he even faked Top500 entries for them (!)). SGI deny they sold him two super-computers but said he may have purchased them on the grey market. He never had a straight answer on where the super-computers were located.

The tax office didn't believe him, raided his home - he left Australia for the UK. Craig telling a small number of people he was Satoshi steadily leaked to more people (intentionally or not). He then through his network managed to convince somebody to purchase his "rights" to Bitcoin for $1.5M and they started a company called nChain around that. nChain wanted him to "come out" as Satoshi and provide proof. That all fell apart (despite convincing _some_ notable Bitcoin community members) and he backed away and started his own fork - Bitcoin SV

I expect the trial will award to the Kleiman estate since there's an entire paper trail of Wright claiming to have mined together with him. Question is how the award is handled with present value of Bitcoin, past value, if it's in USD etc.

There's a whole lot more - it would take a long book cover it all.

In 2004 I was traveling around Europe as a 20 year old. Spent my debit account down to my last $20. I had a flight from Barcelona back to Boise and the airline had supposedly issued a paper ticket, not an e-ticket. Long story short, if I couldn’t produce the paper ticket, my flight was going to leave without me. I didn’t have a credit card and I knew I was out of money but I said what the hell, try my debit card to purchase a new flight. Lo and behold, it went through! I came home and a week later my account was -$5,500. Wells Fargo had taken the last charge, the $900 flight, reordered it and I accumulated $4,600 in overdraft fees. I’ve never been so angry in my life. They did not fix the charges, and I got bailed out by my mom. I plead my case over and over but everyone, including my mom, just drew it up as an non-responsible college kid.

Every time I tell this story it makes my blood boil.
