My wife has t1d and when we were dating we backpacked the Lost Coast trail. She was pretty paranoid of bears, so made sure we didn't have any food in our tent and did a good job of hiding our bear canisters some place where any bears couldn't move them around if they got to them. She'd had a bad experience with bears pushing bear canisters off a waterfall.

So she had a low in the middle of the night, in the middle of nowhere. She was still verbal, but barely, and sent me to get her some snacks out of the bear canisters. However I didn't know where she'd hid them. After looking in the dark for a while I had to go back to the tent and try to get enough of an explanation out of her to find the hidden canisters. Fortunately she was abele to give me enough context that I was able to find the canisters and get her something to eat.

After that, I kept my own hidden stash of snacks in the tent and make sure she told me where the canisters were.
Yeah, I don't really disagree - I think the realistic future is IPv6 - even though my ISP doesn't do dual stack on its business circuits.
ImageMagick I think has more institutional momentum. PHP's imagick extension for example uses it.
The last part isn’t true, at least unless there has been a grave accident. Many pee on themselves during races, but most of the Number 2 is done at port a potties along the way with an assist from the team car or peloton to get back up to speed and get back into place. You might be surprised at how little someone might need #2 when all their calories are from highly digestible into energy food.
I've read the book. That chapter talks about what kind of environment initially "trains" the immune system. It does not say anything about viruses such as the ones that common cold being ineffective in doing the same. Please be careful when extrapolating from what's written in a pop science book.
Faster, please.
The reduction in mass undoubtedly makes it easier to complete the remainder of the stage.
Those are anecdotes and I have one of my own that really has me questioning this;

I’ve lost 85 lbs since the beginning of May. I lost 40/85 just since the beginning of December through today.

When I exercise I clearly lose weight more quickly. Since December I’ve been running like crazy, at least 5-10km 5-6 days/week. When I lift weights I drop pounds even faster.

Edit: Makes me wonder, though, — if I walk in the morning and solve puzzles on leetcode, would I burn more calories? When I run at night if I solve random math problems in my head will I burn more calories?
Well of course I now have to ask how long it takes in node after running the script a hundred times
if I had 5k to burn I'd get a nice ebike, the view is fine from down here, thank you
It looks like they already do, at around 14 days.
Perhaps rephrase it as "the expected value vs expected effort never sorted that to the top of the backlog".
The Iraqi SCUD killed 28 US soldiers. Raytheon failed to prevent it.
I agree that striving for (let alone expecting) perfection is fraught. But a business's goals in commissioning software development are related to but distinct from a developer's goals in delivering it. If you write software for a living in the 21st century, and you don't find a way to incorporate constant learning and improvement, and strive to refine and master your craft, then you're definitely doing it wrong.
Lucky for you both to have a good manager!

Okay, but the other commenters are saying that fuel is around 6% of the cost of running a fission plant. Do you really think fuel availability will be a decisive factor in say, the next 60 years?
Has anyone considered that every N years a scientific “discovery”in a given field invalidates a previous one?

Commonly in more theoretical sciences like nutritional science, psychology, and astrophysics?

In other words, is anything really truly reliable in these domains?
I'm absolutely going to try this. The amount of time that I get blatant copies of Stack Overflow posts, only with the formatting stripped, is infuriating.
Correct. Think of low-lying coastal property as a disposable luxury good that we choose to subsidize, like large cars or air travel.

In a few wealthy regions like SF and NY I would guess that Dutch-style defenses will be economically feasible to protect home values.

In other places my guess is that property values will crash when the federal government eventually admits it cannot afford to keep NFIP solvent indefinitely. Though even in that case I wouldn't be surprised if wealthy coastal landowners still manage to finagle a taxpayer bailout out of it.
What causes low grade inflammation? Generally Fat, what is fat and is anyone measuring what else is inside the lipid like fat soluble vitamins, hormones etc?

> He calculates that the ceiling for an 85-kilogram man would be about 4650 calories per day.

It still doesnt look at the what the short and long term effect is, he doesnt quantify it with this person can consume 4650cal but be dead next week does he?
Its just a throw away statement, it means nothing and his ego/beliefs/followers are getting him into print before a larger audience. Because we are not able to quantify his statement properly, the media could be complicit in murder/manslaughter depending on what people know and remembered at the time.

Our lifespans are limited by the traditional domesticated foods we eat, ie farm grown foods. However now that we are seening labgrown foods like fungi meat replacements and lab grown meats, the questions with those are do they contain enough of the chemicals to be good for health or not?
You only need a few chemicals to grow cancer lines in a test tube for example, but cancer cells are not that functional in the scheme of things are they? They are just cells which have lost their normal function in the body.

And I'm not qualified in anything, I cant even say if my GCSE are accurate because I never got my exam papers back to check my answers again the study books!

This is very depressing. I find it incredibly difficult to lose weight dieting. And now it's telling me I just wasted all this money on a treadmill (and the effort it took to get it down into the basement).
DOJ Amps Up Crypto Scrutiny, Naming Veteran Head of New Enforcement Team
The alarm fatigue is no joke, and CGMs get less accurate the lower ones blood glucose goes, so false alarms on the low end are common.

My wife has a Tandem T:Slim and Dexcom G6 and she can't turn off the urgent low alarm. The alarms drive her totally crazy.

Though I'm happy to know at least the system will disable her basal rate if she's heading low.
I'm not sure what it's like in the USA, but in Australia it's rare to see police on freeways, because traffic enforcement is done with cameras these days.

When I drove from Melbourne to Brisbane and back, a 3,500 km round trip on mostly dual carriageway freeways, I didn't see a single cop outside of built up areas.
> On the other hand, if they can interbreed, then its likely their offspring will inherit glowing gene

Many domesticated species will revert back to their wild genes, or revert very closely. For example, when goldfish go ferrel they end up looking mostly like wild carp, except for some minor differences.

But goldfish aren't genetically engineered. They are deliberately inbred to to preserve recessive colors and patterns.

I think the big question is, what happens when glowing fish go ferrel? Are the glowing genes dominant? Are there non-glowing genes in the population?
Yeah... I don't know that it is that simple. In the summer when I bike twenty miles a day, I am eating far more, and still losing weight.

Don't get me wrong, I know that the easiest way to lose weight is to limit calorie consumption. I also know that a buffet of 1800 calories going to a bike ride helps a ton.

The underlying story is that, in a world where Snowden's revelations were nearly 9 years ago, and stories like "$GigaCorp was hacked, umpteen million customers' personal information stolen" are a very regular thing, reporters are still utter simpletons about security, and should not be trusted with any secret hotter than the location of Santa Claus's North Pole workshop.

These numbers don't jive with my understanding. It's about a factor of 2,500x higher.

Not sure what was your starting weight. But 5 kg is within the realm of normal weight fluctuations over a week for an average American.
How does it undermine credibility?
Generally, the people who the site was built for have nothing to prove, but everything to learn, and optimize accordingly.
Driving those trucks is identical to driving a bus. In fact, thats how a lot of these truckers pass the driving test: by driving a bus.

Now, the city bus service in Ottawa, also has heavy tows, that can pull a double-decker bus, or a semi tractor.

They could've been doing this a long time ago.....but they didn't.

Why? They had all the tools.
They probably are. But the clone sites are designed specifically to avoid being blocked by google.
From my read of the article the data is heavily biased towards running as the exercise of choice, probably because measuring CO2 is easy and non-intrusive to do on a treadmill. They do mention utilizing doubly labeled water but don't say if they only used that for sedentary participants or measured a wider range of exercises.

Given I have always heard/read how efficient humans are at running if they didn't account for the differing exercise methods the conclusion being offered in this article may be flawed.
Well, they're here now, right?
How MSFT Squandered the opportunity they had with Skype, remember when Skype was used for everything by everyone way back... any broadcast on CNN or the like that involved a VC with some expert in far away lands had the skype logo on the VC. It was a lightweight app and you could VoIP just fine in terrible internet conditions. Something happened when MSFT purchased it - from that point on it just go progressively worse I don't think I remember them improving a single thing, then they came up with MS Teams... screwed it so bad and opened the door for an entire industry that wouldn't have existed at all if they didn't screw it over so bad.
Have had mine for several, don't use it as much as I used to because I prefer the sound signature of my phone speaker for spoken content but still love it for music. Reccomended it to my extended family and still get thrown for a loop when I see them using it all the time, like a piece of my home in their's.
There's no current threat of being priced out, the major oil producers are too busy trying to get market share on low cost oil.

Going forward, will this ever be an issue? Peak oil is coming from societies moving away from oil and adopting renewables. By the time OPEC et Al start raising their prices, they will be irrelevant to most US consumers
Even stranger, in many legal scenarios, verbatim reporters actually own the transcripts and license/sell copies to courts. Some of those transcripts are sealed or otherwise private.

If you have good relationships in the courthouse you can luck out with complex cases that result in appeals.
In the end there is no perfect solution because the whole thing is gamed too much. Eventually spam sites will start paying popular users to like their spam page.
So use no IPv4s at all? Well that still falls under "all the addresses you assign to machines are real global addresses"

Two examples to explain what I mean.

1. I had my own consulting business (small, 2 of us plus some outsourced support). I didn't like the sales part of the business. Met a client who loved selling and needed support in other areas. I wrapped up my business and took a role as it was more focused on what I love.

2. Currently working with an individual whose business closed during Covid. They think at a high level and are helping with BA work, documentation, client comms etc. It's not so much a hire/employee and more an understanding that they can add value with less direction. They get paid a contract rate.
some would argue that running a marathon isn't exercise and shouldn't be considered as such.

Whether any one in particular subscribed to that school of though or not, marathon running is an outlier event, and isn't what most people would consider as part of a regular, healthy, exercise regime that one might do many times a week.
> Combining this with the fact that Everest climbers are apparently eating 10K+ calories a day and then up to around 20K on summit day, I have to wonder how these facts jive...if they can really temporarily push the limit, for how long, etc.

An interesting source here is the Fiennes and Stroud expedition to cross Antarctica in 1992. Stroud (a physician) actually tested how many calories they were burning each day using the doubly-labeled water method, and at one point (ascent to the polar plateau) it was up to 11k. So it is definitely possible to temporarily push the limit - as the article acknowledges - but these are exceptional circumstances.
Interesting, thanks! I guess both perspectives can be right: the prices are in some sense real, but at Audible they function mostly to tell you what a good deal you are getting (in return to committing to a subscription).
That’s the part that’s at least slightly exaggerated, or giving a misleading impression. Exercise absolutely burns more than 0 calories, and I definitely was burning some. Calorie burn from exercise is straightforward to approximately measure, and many people walking around with iWatches and FitBits and heart monitors are doing so. What’s well known to many people is that exercise burns far fewer calories than you wish it did, and less than it feels like. ;) The article points out that aerobic exercise adjusts your RMR and it becomes more efficient over time. However, it does not become 100% efficient, even though the article seems to suggest it and doesn’t bother with any fine print. It doesn’t bother to differentiate between running and weight lifting either, and we adjust to those differently.
Some friends and I are currently doing a thru hike of the Appalachian Trail, and only ten days in the four of us clocked 7, 8, 10, and 17 pounds lost... But we're hiking 6+ hours a day with heavy packs. We've been eating easily ~3000kcal each daily. I think at the extreme edges, nutrition science is a lot less well understood. We were very surprised to see we'd lost anything at all, as we're stopping to eat 300 calories almost every waking hour.
There's a lack of searchable blogs and recommendations for how many buckets you need, and how much stuff belongs in one.

Got any recommended literature?
It was. My bandwidth isn't usually very bad. If it wasn't for the syringe animation, I would not have known it was going to load and would have missed it entirely.

Nobody is forcing you to work in that particular industry.

And you can put your spoken word content on eg Spotify or Youtube, too. There is competition.
I don't know much about medical research, but I've looked into some of these trials. They are generally being done by startups and not the established players who sell the diabetes management stuff.

So think disruptive tech. A new player comes into the market with something that obsoletes the old tech, and maybe destroys a whole market. But that new player makes their own money off it.

So yeah, maybe Tandem, Dexcom and Medtronic don't have a big incentive. But someone else can make some real money if they can find a cure or novel treatment that obsoletes all those others things.
To make a concrete argument here: If Mozilla has the sweng resources to devote to their frequent frontend redesigns, they can keep the encoding menu working. And the encoding menu has a significant, difficult-to-replace function to serve for people from non-english-speaking nations who want to consume content in their native language. For reference, I worked on Firefox.

Removing something like the encoding menu is a choice, not a necessity.

The protest appears to be about a number of things.

Its not mass to orbit (though it helps) - it's $ per kg to orbit.

If Starship hits its mark, it will have a lower $ per kg to orbit then any other rocket in history.

And that's big: most technological innovation happens when we cross economies of scale in the price of some underlying service - or in availability. The existence of computers revolutionized a lot of things - but putting one on every office desk, and then in every home, and then in every pocket - that's what's led to a lot of other capabilities now being viable.

Orbital access is the same trajectory: we probably can't even conceive of the types of business models that will happen once certain cost/availability thresholds are breached. You see this every day in your home - really sit down and think about the logistical chain that means you can use aluminium foil the way you do. The type of resources and logistics which make that possible - all of which didn't have the goal of making home aluminium foil readily available, but who the existence of solves problems without us even thinking out.
Ousting of Biden’s science advisor shows that sensitivity trumps expertise
The business I work for has the same, it is branded "Naked pings suck".
"The White House is now searching for a new science advisor to replace Lander and resume the task of launching Biden’s anti-cancer moonshot. The top two candidates, according to Politico, are—you guessed it—women. Alondra Nelson is a sociologist specializing in racial issues. This kind of expertise, unfortunately, gives her zero qualification to understand cancer immunogenetics, select genomic approaches with clinical promise, or indeed to deal with any other of the many technical issues that cross the science advisor’s desk."
Attendance Policy
The modern CGNAT version is. This very week I tried to play an old game with a friend and had trouble.
Decades ago, I had an SBIR contract with NASA, the contract monitor being in Huntsville. After I briefed him, I went to see the Saturn V. At that time, it was resting horizontal on a long concrete pad. The briefing went really well, and I was in good spirits.

So there was no barrier between the vehicle and visitors. You could walk up and touch it, which I did. Then I walked to the engine end of the first stage and climbed up between two of the F1 engines. I was able to climb into the center F1 and stand up at the end of the expansion bell.

I didn't even come up to the center of the bell. It drove home the titanic size of the machine in a way that nothing else had.

I had to climb down when a moderately pissed-off guard saw me after a few minutes. It was a wonderful experience.
Your energy estimate is off, but also ~10kg of helium is ~56 cubic meters or ~2,000 cubic feet that’s several large helium tanks which run around 291 cubic feet as that’s a serious pain to move around without a hand truck.

Actual fuel fuel estimate: “a 1000 MW coal-fired power plant requires 2.7 million tonnes of coal per year, a fusion plant of the kind envisioned for the second half of this century will only require 250 kilos of fuel per year, half of it deuterium, half of it tritium.” https://www.iter.org/sci/FusionFuels

“Global electricity consumption in 2019 was 22,848 terawatt-hour”

22,848 * 1000 / 365 / 24 = 2608 different 1GW reactors each producing 250kg of helium per year. So 652,000 kg/year if all the worlds electricity was made from fusion or ~3,650,000 cubic meters or ~130,000,000 cubic feet of helium.

PS: Efficiency numbers could wildly change those estimates, but that’s the rough ballpark for electricity let alone stuff like transportation or home heating etc.
I think there's also some other physiological action that trigger defecation as a response during long duration high intensity exercise like marathons and bike races.

Edit: here

"It’s related to the fact that during periods of physical stress, the body shunts blood away from organs that are not necessarily critical at that moment,” Michael Dobson, D.O., a colon and rectal surgeon with Novant Health in Charlotte, North Carolina, tells Mental Floss.

You should work to reform your local parking enforcement so it can’t overwhelm poor people with tickets and boot their cars.
Right, because people definitely read each thread in emails and definitely don't read each message in a thread. It's incredibly easy to link to a specific point in time in Slack, where you can contextually read the discussion from there. Quoting email replies is not the same.

> most people

Based on what number of people in what context?

To put it another way, I don't go back very far when opening an email. Slack, on the other hand, I make sure to read each message.
What should be done is charging fixed rate fee per IPv4 address. Maybe there's a problem that developed countries are too rich.
