Most people eat too much or way too much. Eating disorders resulting in eating too little are rare in comparison and they stem from well known mental issues. Like, I don't even know how you could come up with a hypothesis that counting calories
increases risk of eating disorder.

The argument that most anorectic people count calories so there is correlation doesn't even work because most obese people don't so if anything "not counting calories increases risk of eating disorder" is a lot plausible observational hypothesis as there is way more obese people then anorectic people among those who don't count calories and way more obese people who don't count than anorectic people who do (both % wise and in absolute numbers).

To be clear - the generators didn't winterize, they "passed" the new ERCOT winterization rules. Texas Monthly briefly addresses this, but the new rules are mostly a checklist of readiness actions designed to ensure that generators can perform in what they consider a 'normal' winter.

Phase 1 at least includes such amazing winterization requirements as, "Attest that you repaired everything that broke last February" and "Inspect your insulation". There are more useful requirements like adding temperature monitoring, wind breaks around components, etc, but there is literally no enforcement mechanism yet so it's all basically on the honor-system for now.
Daily Step Count and All-Cause Mortality: A Dose-Response Meta-analysis
The study is looking at whether it has an impact on mental health outcomes or the development of eating disorders. Not if calorie counting has an effect on weight loss.

Regarding sugar, simple refined sugars consumed on their own causes large fluctuations in energy levels, but not all sugars. Complex carbohydrates/sugars consumed with fibre are much more preferred overall, unless you're doing heavy exercise where your body needs more glycogen.

Triggering the bodies' insulin response is normal and isn't necessarily a bad thing, afterall it is always being triggered. Unless you continually eat highly processed simple sugars that isn't accompanied by movement (e.g. chocolate bars and lollies), you wont have a problem. A good example is moving from eating white breads to multigrain or rye breads which reduce the glycemic index of food, in combination with appropriate toppings.

I 100% agree that dietary education is extremely important, having been lucky enough to study nutrition in high school it has helped me greatly in life.

> Nearly all of Texas' electric generation units and transmission facilities have passed the state's new winterization rules

That is very slippery language and the rest of the Yahoo/Reuters article reads like a puff piece.

According to Texas Monthly's investigation, sounds like there's fuckery afoot:

> When Schwertner sent his bill to the House, the legislation also created a committee to map the gas-electric supply chain and determine which gas facilities were critical to the operation of power plants. It authorized the Railroad Commission to use its hundred new employees to inspect and, if necessary, fine gas companies. When the bill returned from the House, though, the language had been revised: only companies “prepared to operate during a weather emergency” were considered critical. This created a troubling loophole. Once the bill had passed, the Railroad Commission was responsible for implementing it, and the agency proposed a rule allowing gas companies to exempt themselves from winterizing simply by paying a $150 filing fee and claiming that a facility wasn’t prepared to stay operational—a dizzying bit of circular reasoning.

This is sooo very true. I had an experimental math curriculum in the 6th grade that had special sections in the book that covered (in an age adjusted way) things like axiomatic definitions of numbers, extending the field of integers to rationals, limit sequences as definitions for real quantities, fields and rings and some other topics. I was sooo revved about that class and so bummed when the next school thought math meant doing sets of 50 long division problems each night.

But the excitement didn't die off. I had a great 8th grade math teacher who noticed that I did all of the exercises in the book during the first two weeks of class and diverted me into a more advanced class (algebra) and eventually got me into correspondence courses (trig and geometry) and late in the same year into the high school calculus class. By finishing calculus that year, I was able to branch into languages and other topics.

Branching out early is a great motivator for the right kids. More interesting material can lead to explosive levels of interest in kids.
Question from genuine interest, how is Go's type system weaker than Java? Is it just the (until recently) missing generics.

I know that casting to interface{} is the equivalent of casting to Object, but Go 1.18 should hopefully avoid most of that.

Just wondering what else you're thinking of, asking as someone who knows Java well and Go okay.
I think this sums up the pragmatics well. Brian Cantrell discusses in one of his talks what they did at Sun to ensure they were writing safe C. This was a substantial amount of tooling they had to build up. Type systems bring you this tooling in a well founded, logical way. And as you say, it's a good place to start, even if it's just to know how the puzzle pieces of your code fit together.

There must be more to this; places like Nigeria, India, China, Japan all make more feature films compared to the US. Countries like Spain, France, Germany, UK make about half as many. Mexico, Brazil are in the top 15..

But Anglo countries like Canada or Australia or New Zealand make many fewer. UK makes slightly less than the US.

Population size probably matters more and gdp less but having some unique to say helps.

> In my whole life I've known like two people with eating disorders (the not eating enough kind).

I bet there were a lot more than two! Anorexia is extremely common. It’s also extremely easy to hide from friends and family (and to a lesser extent bulimia, at least for me).

I’ve struggled with anorexia and bulimia for about 20 years (since I was 14 or 15). I’m pretty sure this is the first time I’ve said anything publicly about it. Prior to me starting to talk with people other than my wife or a handful of other friends about my eating disorders, there were fewer than ten people who knew or could have possibly known that I was dealing with such things.

Anecdotally, I definitely knew more than five people who had told me about their eating disorders before I told anyone about mine, and since doing so I’ve found that a lot of other people have them.

Personally, I would like to see more discussion of this sort of thing, and would especially like if a little more attention could be paid to the occurrence of such disorders in boys/men (though it certainly doesn’t seem to affect them nearly as frequently and/or as severely). I honestly think it would have helped me get help earlier if I’d known that anorexia was something that boys dealt with too. For a long time I had myself convinced that I didn’t really have a problem, and I think that’s mostly because I’d always seen anorexia framed as something only experienced by girls/women.
I thought Vault covered both use cases. Thanks!
Honestly it's kind of a wash. Yes, rates are dirt cheap right now. Basically every asset out there is priced (high!) with this in mind. If rates were to rise, asset prices must naturally come down as people can afford to borrow less.

If you don't have an emergency fund, now is the time to build one. Breaking inflation is a painful process that will eventually lead to a bad recession. Things will get worse before they get better.

Few in this thread mentioned immersion as an issue. Subs are fine for comedy and drama, but I don’t understand how I could watch an action spectacle or travelogue and feel like I’m there when I’m looking away for floating words. Same reason I don’t want a movie audience to draw my attention and remind me the screen is fake.
It's interesting that you mentioned Max Martin. I immediately thought of the new Adele single Easy on Me as a counterexample to people wanting 150-200 production tracks on a single song like you'll find on Max Martin songs. What's interesting is that Max Martin worked on the album 30 but is not listed as a producer on that song, and I think it shows. It's stripped down and you can hear the rawness, squeaks, and rasp of Adele's voice. Contrast that with something like a Max Martin produced Ariana Grande song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBDJDZAo41c) or Katy Perry, both who can sing extremely well on their own, and there's a stark difference in production taste. Something like Rihanna's (ft. Kanye West and Paul McCartney) FourFiveSeconds would be impossible for Max Martin to produce (yes it has vocal and instrumental processing and tuning on it but it is very stripped down).

Max Martin certainly has a nose for hits, but it's almost self-fulfilling. When he's producing everything, he sort of dictates what people "like" and other producers follow. I quote like because what's played on the radio is not necessarily what people actually like, it's what they're made to like through various marketing schemes. So I sort of balk at the notion that people want Max Martin style music. It's just what they're given.

It's also a bit misleading that people have been recording this way since the beginning of pop music. Yes, lots of takes and doubles, but these Max Martin and similar production style DAW sessions have literally hundreds of tracks that actually get mixed down into the final song.

I wonder how many were considered “winterized” before last year? This article doesn’t tell us what the delta is.

The “cold snap” terminology is also confusing to me. Is Texas expected to have one this year, and if so, at what point does a “cold snap” become part of normal climate?

(I am a Texas native and never experienced anything like last year’s “cold snap”. I was living in California last year, and now I’m worried about another “cold snap” this year)

Yeah my work is promoting ecosia internally. But I feel it's more of a scam. Ecosia is just like Google but a bit of the ad revenue goes to planting trees.

If they really cared so much they could easily donate tens of times that amount to planting trees directly. Because we're talking cents per user per month. That they don't bother at all makes it look to me like virtue signalling without having to actually spend any money.

Considering the late stage of climate change it's too late for this imo. And this kind of initiative only makes people rich while giving companies a reason not to really do something to contribute.

The same way the airlines around here give you the option of 'compensating' CO2 through some fancy commercial scheme. On my last 4000km round trip I could compensate it for 1.57 euros. Most of it will not make it to the trees but stick in 'overhead'. Eh yeah right.. If it was as easy as that we really would have fixed the problem by now.
"A Scanner Darkly" is dedicated to his many close friends that suffered or died as a result of drug use. I think there is this heartbreaking dedication at the end of the novel, with the names of his friends and how they ended.

Yet the book is full of subtle humor, and a profound understanding of individuals' tragedy at the same time.

There is a great movie made after the novel, with the same name. The movie does capture the spirit of the book, even as switching the medium, a noteworthy achievement.
The article also has a very nice email from the Garg. Such I nice guy. It is obvious that he is a fantastic leader. And great communication skills.

If you were dictator for a day, and the only thing standing between you and your enemies was one "neutral" country, and your two choices are to either invade and consolidate, or let them ally with your enemies.. then one outcome is obviously more of an existential threat than the other.

"legitimate" is a loaded word, but the game theory strongly supports one of these options.
Not claiming that the study itself is useless, it's important to understand how interventions affect completely healthy people, but my worry would be that it triggers eating disorders in high-risk group, that would affect wether we want to widely encourage calorie counting or just recommend it to those who specifically need it. The thread OP helpfully points out the fact that this study doesn't do much to answer that question.

This quote from Ubik perfectly reflects how I feel on a regular basis.

I think it's quite situational, but I quite agree. I also find that when you do this and get into a conversation with somebody who does this, the back-and-forth also just bloats up and gets bigger and more multi-faceted as the conversation progresses.

I find that it's much better to just address the general argument and maybe the very major points specifically if necessary. I think bad-faith arguments on the internet have made a lot of people really defensive and aggressive, though. I've seen a lot of people smugly arguing past each other about how they aren't discussing things properly ("you didn't even address all of my points"), and the discussion always devolves to just arguing about arguing.

The article would be far more convincing if it argued that AI could end foreign-language dubbing. Distaste for poor dubbing only partly explains the demand for subtitles.

They didn't do it after 2011. I don't see why 2021 would be different. These once-a-decade events cost very little compared to winterizing. TX is on year 23 of a deregulated essential utility experiment.

There is no way to verify that somebody else is delivering truly random data, or that they aren't spooling off a copy of whatever they hand out.

But there is no need ever to get your entropy from somebody else. The low bits of pixels in every camera in your gadgets provide a constant supply of high-quality entropy nobody else has access to, either to face or to copy.

When gathering random bits this way, it is usual to recommend flipping every second bit, to eliminate bias. XORing it to a stream cipher bitstream is also a good idea.

But hardly anybody needs much entropy, except to stay warm.
You're not supposed to read just the title, you need to read at least the abstract. It clearly states in the abstract what the conclusions are:

"Conclusions: Among dietary self-monitoring naive undergraduate women with low-risk of an eating disorder, dietary self-monitoring via MyFitnessPal for 1 month did not increase eating disorder risk, impact other aspects of mental health, or alter health behaviors including dietary intake. The null results in our study may be due to the selection of a low-risk sample; future research should explore whether there are populations for whom dietary self-monitoring is contraindicated. "

Science is not easily summarized to sound bites that you can share as an image macro on social media. This is doubly true for something as difficult as nutrition.

Wow, it is a lot of fun to play with that visualization. It made me wonder what the probabilities of orbits changing would be, on various time scales.

Asian cultures are aware.

In China for example, tofu is one of the cheapest possible protein sources (think in terms of a massive pallet of it sold for five dollars) but people are generally aware that it is poisonous in some weird ways that won't kill you. Males are generally urged not to consume it.

This could be a knowledge of just the upper class, though. An unspoken suggestion to leave the tofu and soy for the poor.

Ever stop to wonder what triggered the change in Russia's force posture?

https://www.newscientist.com/article/dn11014-us-anti-missile...

In the early 2000s they were entirely focused on counter-insurgency in the Caucasus. They had restructured their military to be brigade-based, so they could deploy small formations easily. What convinced Russia to re-focus on larger, nation-state threats in their near abroad? There was a really good article on the subject which I can't find now, written when Russia reformed the 1st Guards Tank Army in 2014. That reformation meant they assessed a serious risk of a peer conflict from their Western border, and needed a powerful combat formation optimized for such a fight. Russia has eaten 3 nation-shattering invasions along the Western axis of approach to Moscow (1812, 1915, 1941), where there are few natural geographic/terrain barriers. Do you see how sticking weapon systems in their near abroad that undermine their nuclear MAD deterrence, while expanding your military alliance ever-closer to their territory, might make them paranoid?
I have no authoritative knowledge here, but the typical answer is they eat mostly fermented soy. I personally have no idea if that actually matters, but that's the answer I've heard.
