I can definitely see how that works. I'm a cyclist and often ride 60-100 miles on a weekend day, plus 3 days pf 20-30 miles during the week. That should be a lot of extra calories. But, after those long rides, I usually need a nap and don't do much else (maybe grocery shopping, but definitely not woodworking or other serious projects).

That said, at the peak of my training (12 hours/week), I can definitely consume more calories without putting on weight. Like, a giant bowl of ice cream most nights. But, if I continue that diet during recovery periods, I'll put on a few pounds. So, it's not that exercise has zero impact, but possibly quite a bit smaller an impact that one might assume.
It's easy to think you have a lot of rights until you try to do something unpopular with them. I left the west for somewhere where I have a lot fewer rights on paper, but I feel so much freer now, no longer constantly worrying about what the mob thinks of everything I say.

I won't defend the UAE, but the level of freedom you have in actual daily life is surprisingly disconnected from what's written in a constitution or what the government is doing.
Ironically, if you had a Bitcoin mining set up in your home, you’d be more worried about keeping it cool. But you raise a good point - heat is another potential positive externality/resource of Bitcoin mining. Imagine if instead of heaters, we all had decentralized mining rigs to warm our houses?

The article you linked basically answers your question. The standard model for defense companies isn't VC-friendly -- you're either building hardware with a limited ceiling, or you're building a consulting business that bills by the hour. Those can be fine businesses, but they're not amenable to wiring $10m and getting back $100m 3 years later.

Defense buyers aren't inherently irrelevant, though. I'm working on a defense-related project at a VC-backed company, and plenty of our peers are. We're selling a standard SaaS model, and that continues to support our business model.

The real challenge is that most tech companies scale up before going after defense, so they can absorb the costs. If you're small, you're going to have to figure out how to scale quickly in the defense world. If you can crack that, I'm sure you'd find a VC or two.

Sorry I must have missed something how do you link Kelloggs the cereal company with circumcision?
The number of partners does in no way tell you much about the amount of sex people have. A person could have a single partner their whole life but bang every day. Compare that to a person who hooks up with a new person once every two weeks. The first person has 14 times more sex than the second but the number of partners would paint a very different picture.

HN is what reddit used to be like when it first started. Links to interesting Tech, programming and science stories and high quality discussion compared to something like Digg.

Thankfully HN hasnt dropped in quality on that front unlike reddit. Its still so good I dont even click on the link I click on comments to get a HN summary which gives me a pretty good idea if its worth reading or not. Most of the time the comments are even better and more informative.
I say this as somebody who lived in one of those Middle Eastern countries for a good period of my life. I'm not a white person and at that time I didn't have a US/European passport, so I didn't lead an extra privalaged life there.

Here's what you can hear about the USA.

1)Endless suburban sprawl, resulting in massive environmental destruction. Illegal immigrants heavily involved in the construction industry, leading to mass exploitation

2)Structural racism

3)Human rights on a sliding scale, with rich white rapists getting no jail sentences, and poor black people and immigrants going to jail for minor offenses.

4)Rich consumers pushing environmental and human rights issues to poor countries where people are exploited to build your $1000 phone and $250 shoe.

5)Lots of places where if you go and say "I'm an Atheist, Jesus is not God" will likely result in violence against you

6)Corrupt legal system, heavily favoring corporations and rich people

7)Absurdly hot in parts of it, Absurdly cold in other parts of it.

>I can't believe anyone would voluntarily go there, seems like hell on earth.

Lots of people probably feel that way about the USA based on the news.

UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi), and other countries in that region, have a lot of issues. I'll be the first to admit it having had second class status there. But I can't help but feel that a lot of Western news outlets love to bash that part of the world because it plays into how a lot of people like to feel like the rest of the world is a shithole.

Um, not really? A single mechanical engineering prof trains thousands of mechanical engineering grads in his career because there are thousands more ME jobs than tenured professorships.

> What one would need to do is to train less PhD students and have more scientific staff instead. Maybe one should even get rid of the current structure altogether, and just hire people as "scientists" and/or "lecturers" after their master's.

As long as those jobs were proper jobs, with appropriate pay, job security, and genuine opportunities for advancement, yes. I wouldn't even mind if they all got PhDs if people were honest ahead of time about typical career progressions.
Between Stellaris and Endless Space, I'm not sure how much creativity would be available to a new space-based 4X game. Spice Wars is interesting to me because the setting and mechanics look pretty novel for a genre that can admittedly get samey.
The distinction between online and offline has always seemed weird to me. You can do destructive things in both, just as you can do beneficial things in both.

Instead of going offline for X days I try to have healthy online and offline habits. Reduce the twitter doomscrolling and increase the social interactions over text chat or zoom. Reduce the TV watching (is TV watching offline or online??) and walk more and read more books.

That's overly complicated. You can't look at someone and say "Yep, he watches porn." It's more likely people satiate their primitive needs with porn, and realise they don't need all the emotional extras/burdens with relationships.

Why would only having been with three people change how much sex you have had?
I think this makes a lot of sense. Management is not "better", it is simply "different".

And in terms of actual value delivered to the business, I doubt that a low/mid-level manager delivers significantly more than an experienced and productive individual contributor.

Organizations need both good managers and good individual contributors. Clearly managers of technical contributors need enough technical experience to make sound management decisions. But that doesn't seem like a good reason to constantly promote people upwards, nor does it seem like a reason to always pay managers more than ICs by default.

However I think in some cases managers end up subject to extra risk if a project goes bad, so they are probably entitled to some increased "hazard pay" for that. (The risk/responsibility structure might be inverted at some toxic dysfunctional organizations, but that's beside the point.)

I don't understand this complaint. You want separate logins for every service? You can't even argue that there are privacy issues - these are now all part of the same company.

Separate logins incur a cost to both the service operator (who has to run multiple secure identity systems, build multiple 2FA systems, manage multiple customer service teams, etc) and the client (who has to remember multiple passwords). Consolidation of identity services is natural. One secure login is better than dozens of insecure ones.

Before you yell "password manager" admit that the average person doesn't even know what a password manager is. "Every user changes their workflow" is not a practical solution.

Yes, a checkbox is one way to allow users engage with this feature. There are other changes I'm considering as well (e.g., increasing the length of the generated passwords, avoiding characters that look like other characters such as 0 and O, etc.). You have the right idea, but the new experience needs to be designed holistically.
I don't think they are suggesting that the reason is because humanity has evolved past our sexual desires. People still want it. They just aren't doing it.

One thing I like about OpenBSD as a desktop is that it's extremely focused. Yeah, it's not a good system for playing games, but neither is the laptop I want to run it on. Yeah, there aren't a lot of wifi chips that it supports, but when a wifi chipset works, it just works. None of that Linux ``yeah it kind of works, but you have to jump through all these hoops...'' nonsense. It either works, or it doesn't.

Yes, there are many things you can't do on an OpenBSD system, but those are things you wouldn't really want to do on an OpenBSD system anyway.
seems easier to burn energy on a bike than other forms of exercise

I'm not sure this is true. Cycling isn't weight-bearing (you're sitting down) and only engages the large leg muscles. Running and rowing likely provide more calorie burn for a given RPE (rate of perceived exertion) over a fixed time period. Running because it's weight-bearing; rowing because it engages more muscle groups. That said, you can probably cycle for more hours total, if you have nothing else to do.

Well, you can get a headstart on what is planned by looking through the rather tiresome WEF's website. Here is an example of what I mean:
https://www.weforum.org/reports/advancing-digital-agency-the...

"With the integration of screenless technology into everyday life, the data ecosystem is growing increasingly complicated. New ambient data collection methods bring many benefits, but they also have the potential to amplify mistrust between people and technology.
In this Insight Report, the World Economic Forum’s Taskforce on Data Intermediaries explores the potential to outsource human decision points to an agent acting on an individual’s behalf, in the form of a data intermediary.
"

This is talking about have a trusted intermediary between you and your data.

Its plainly a bad joke - morally, its unambigious - you own your data.

But that cannot work with the planned infrastructure, so we have to go through a charade of building trust etc with google, Apple, 3-letter agencies, etc.

Question: who will own/run those purported 'trusted intermediaries'? Government and business will provide leadership here...

That doesn't make me feel all warm and cozy, no.

Only a handful of other worlds are described beyond a very rudimentary amount of detail though, no? So there would have to be an extreme amount of extrapolating.
My comment is less about the aggregation and more about the future. Right now diagnostic health test results are a larger concern for you, but that is likely going to change as technology advances sufficiently to take advantage of massive DNA surveillance. Let's say for instance that your DNA could be used to essentially derive your health results today and accurately predict outcomes into the future, surely that must be a concern for you since you are explicitly concerned about health test results. Maybe its not even the DNA on the swabs that gives it away, but instead something else in your mucous?
Puritanism regarding sex is trending down and has been for a long time. Puritanism regarding indulging the brain through other means is also trending down.

If circumcision had even the most tiny sliver of anything to do with it you can bet your ass that there would be an associated stereotype that's older than the US.

Teenage sex isn't vilified. It's all over in pop culture. See all the bottom of the barrel high-school drama shows that Netflix puts out for example. We don't talk about this because it's hard to reconcile with the "you're too stupid to make decisions because prefrontal cortex" message we bombard teens with at every opportunity.
I deliberately mentioned Startpage, since it is a privacy focused search engine which gets it's result from google. https://www.fastcompany.com/90437058/this-alternative-search...

This could never beat Dune 1 from 1992.

What I really loved about this game was the shifting gameplay from strong story-driven 1st person adventure to map-based RTS.

Obviously, this is my personal recollection from 30 years ago.

It's a brilliant game. The Amiga soundtrack is still one of the best out there.

My prediction is that within foreseeable future, ownership of general purpose computing machines will be illegal for the general public (on the usual arguments of terrorism and protecting the children).
I like this solution, and agree it would be much better for most cases.

C# is beginning to suffer from over-complexity at the language layer, and this solution of making it trivial to reference embedded text files avoid adding more complexity.

That said, it's actually pretty easy to reference embedded text files already, not trivial but easy enough.

I like the name. In 4th grade I presented the argument to my PE teacher that skipping was better exercise than running and he let me skip around the track while everyone else ran.
Well I don't know about Endless Space but Stellaris is very focused on exploration and economic growth. I think that a good thematic Dune treatment would be well served by focusing on politics and plotting - after all, the book is much more about courtly intrigue than space warfare.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Harvey_Kellogg#Views_on_s... is a solid tl;dr. He invented cornflakes thinking that that was a food that would inhibit libido and cause people to have less sex.
I don’t think that’s fair. You don’t know why I’m here and calling me an entitled prick is laughable because of your base assumptions. Maybe I’m here for humanitarian reasons and am trying to improve the lives of many.

I’m not infatuated by anything, I’m simply raising a nuanced opinion about a country that has many faults, but has some successes which are never acknowledged. And that’s fine.

Just thought it might be interesting to hear a viewpoint from someone who actually lives here rather than blindly reads the news and maybe has visited a few times. Labeling me and calling me names doesn’t help or bring anything useful to the conversation. If you can’t name a single positive thing the UAE has done, then to me, maybe it’s worth it to do some further investigation on the topic.
The obvious follow up I was expecting that wasn’t in the article was “do people who exercise have less stress response to stimuli?”.

They talk about a “caloric balance sheet” so this makes sense to me.
When I say BSD doesn't support Flatpak, I mean literal Flatpak. I want to go to Flathub and install any piece of software. Yes, not possible because BSD is not Linux, but as a user I don't care. Flatpak has solved packaging and installing software across distros, and I'm not willing to give it up.

This comment is wrong on so many levels.

But to tackle the main one, gaming on Linux is in the best position it's ever been in. It's not getting 'worse' due to anti cheat, in fact the steamdeck and valve are actively bringing compatibility to linux for those things.

What can you possibly be basing your claim on there? Are you aware of proton?
Maybe there are more users now?

There's the Dune Encyclopedia you could reference, that collates a lot of the worldbuilding notes that Frank Herbert created.
This necessity of eating after you overate but mis-treated is one of the worst feelings in T1. You know you screwed up and you know you're going to pay for it, because you'll probably spike later and you don't know if it is the big meal you just ate or the snack you ate to keep from going low first.

The article itself mixes results of studies with strong opinions like:

It's not just sales, it's figuring what to sell, and when to pivot. It's all well to have a solid tech stack but the market changes and companies need to see changes coming and adapt. Having the most optimized compiler isn't going to help if you're trying to sell something nobody wants.

Even tech companies don't just depend on elite programmers plus an exceptional sales guy. You need good design, good customer service, good marketing, and so on. Yes, there's a lot of bullshit in those fields (not that programming is free of it), but there's real value there too when executed correctly.
This is the most “i read it on the internet” explanation I’ve ever seen.

Why accept a proprietary network in the first place? For the good of all EVs everywhere it's better to go with the open standard.

Europe standardized on CCS Type 2 Combo. Tesla switched to it a few years ago and now they are (finally) starting to open their chargers to all EVs just like all the other charging networks:

https://electrek.co/2022/02/14/tesla-expands-access-supercha...

Europe's getting it right on EVs. A step in the right direction for North America would be for Tesla to switch to CCS like they did in Europe.
Steamdeck ships with Linux. You can install Windows if you'd like.
Have you come up with a process, or an idea for a process to ensure this doesn't happen?

For instance when they create a provisioning request, are you able to set an extremely low threshold? When they say that won't do, the cost increases and their able to see/understand and start to care about the actual lifecycles of what they're creating?

Surely there is a way to project and monitor the cost of their resources over time, and deliver them an invoice on a regular basis? In other words something like a cost attribution model? That way when the bills start to increase dramatically overtime, pinpointing the heavy hitters becomes trivial, and when they come knocking on your door to "do something about it" you can just say "go talk to Bob".

I don't mean to sound like I'm trivializing the problem (honestly I can relate as I've gone through it myself), but I'd love to hear how anyone else has dealt with this issue effectively.
That's the wonderful(?) thing about profit motive: Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) are making a handful of people ludicrous amounts of money, and it's easy to ignore just about anything that falls out of that as long as the gears keep turning.

When people succumb to that kind of profit motive, it becomes our responsibility as disinterested outsiders to make a non-compromised evaluation of the state of affairs. That's the evaluation I'm interested in.
