I've been practicing intermittent fasting for close to 2 years, with a 2-6 hour eating window each day. Most of the time the fasting period has been around 20 hours a day.

For a month now I've switched to one meal a day (OMAD), only eating dinner with the family. I only eat home made low carb meals. Being 50+ I've been able to keep the weight in check, BMI now 22.3.

Hunger or lack of energy is not a problem, it's more the I sometimes out of "boredom" want to eat to pass time. But since I do not want to break the routine, it keeps me from snacking.

I always feel a state of "serenity" during the fasting periods.
>a benevolent dictatorship doesn't exist, because no benevolent person would survive the process of getting dictatorship.

Singapore is the first one that comes to mind.

See: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Benevolent_dictatorship

Additionally monarchies are essentially old forms of dictatorship with slightly different customs and titles. It's one and the same and plenty of good kingdoms exist. I have PLENTY of examples:

The Pharaohs of ancient Egypt;
The Byzantine Emperors;
The Habsburg Monarchy in its various incarnations;
The Capetian Kings of France;
The Tsars;
The Tang, Ming and Qing - my three favorite Chinese dynasties;
The Incas.

If you’re looking for something more present-day, I’d look into Bhutan, Lichtenstein and Monaco.

Tibet it also an example. A little iffy this one, it's actually not benevolent but the West has definitely painted them as such to use as propaganda against China. Chinas actions against Tibet were quite horrific and wrong but even still... Tibet was not an example of a benevolent dictatorship... more of an example how a dictatorship can be PERCIEVED as benevolent and how your perceptions can be easily influenced. Tibet and China is an example of evil acting on evil to simplify the situation, but again I want to emphasize that the actual reality is not so black and white.

You may also want to look into the term enlightened absolutism.

Also China is an example of a benevolent dictatorship despite all the bad things they've done (TBH China is more of a mixed bag, and by mixed bag I mean both benevolent and self interested at the same time... but then again so is the US).

You cannot deny that the rise of China has been unprecedented. The amount of people lifted out of poverty at such a velocity has never been seen before in the history of human civilization. That is benevolence. While of course what is happening in Xinjiang is not benevolence; blinding yourself to the good because of the bad is irrational. You must acknowledge both.
An effective homeless program probably has to include rehab, occupational therapy, and related services, yes.
I have sometimes joked that there's a kind of "socialist" whose politics seem mostly to be centered around the notion that in a post-capitalist socialist utopia they'd somehow just be able to stay home and not participate in anything.

This is a joke, but I do wonder if there isn't a kind of person who, whether we call it introversion or whatever, just isn't at all happy in the kind of modern environment where you have to interact a lot with strangers, where you have to be in a customer service or large office environment everyday, where you constantly have to be moving forward and mingling and so on.

They just want to...coast.

And they get the sense, somehow, that capitalism is to blame for how they feel, but, I don't know, maybe it's modernity itself.
For long term survival you need to get off your planet, for which you probably need intelligence. Earth has around half a billion years left until it starts feeling serious issues with our sun. If our evolution took something like 10 percent longer things would be tricky
Thank you! I completely agree. I certainly don't think people should give up using Jupyter because of the frustration of keeping code quality high enough to port to other environments.

The amount of money spent on fusion research sounds large but it's really not that much in the grand scheme of things. And most of it is really being spent on efforts to improve things that have widespread application outside fusion, like material sciences and superconducting. It's really likely that a lot of major advancements will come of this research, in line with the space race advancing technology at an accelerated pace for a while. At least fusion has, from an optimistic perspective, an inherently worthwhile goal besides climbing an absurdly tall virtual mountain to go with it.

Anyways, at the scale of international project budgets, "killing fusion to increase money spent on other green projects" is, at this point, like not buying a daily coffee so you can afford a car.

Even pessimistic estimates of ITER's cost are still under $100B for a 5 decade long project. Or, put another way, less than $2 billion dollars a year. There are highway interchanges that have cost that much. And the EU and the US alone of ITER's contributors have a combined GDP of $35 trillion.
Yeah, looks like it was the real deal.
I'm Keto and have done a considerably amount of researching into oils. Saturated fats are usually the best, but in order of preference

- Bacon fat
- Avocado Oil
- Butter
- Coconut oil
- Olive Oil

If it's not one of these (or some other form of meat fat), I skip it.

I get what you're saying, but surely there ought to be some limit on how unsafe a rental property can be, right? For one thing, at some point it actually won't even be true that "it's better than sleeping on the street." When the cheap electrical wiring causes a fire that burns down the apartment building and kills a few dozen people, that probably wasn't better than if the victims had slept on the street that particular night. So if your landlord is selling you a nightly probability that you'll be safer than if you had slept on the street, this "better than the street" sound bite sounds a little less appealing. Not to mention that the rentees probably aren't properly informed of these probabilities.

Secondly, I think it's a false dichotomy in practice. I find it very hard to believe that basic safety codes alone cause the difference between SRO-style buildings and "luxury" or even "middle-class" apartments. What percentage of that $800k was spent on the GFCI outlets in the kitchen?
Ukraine signed a Budapest memorandum [1] where US, France, UK and Russia guaranteed its territory integrity in exhange for the 3rd in the world arsenal of nuclear weapons.

> They shut down Nordstream 2, which he knew would happen

I heard that the German president's speech mentioned Nordstream being done. He didn't specify Nordstream 2 as expected. I read somewhere that referring to both Nordstream 1 & 2 caught Putin by surprise.
Good info. But why is this bad policy? Is globalization really just better? Because "the consumer" (whom is usually also an employee/business owner and a citizen) may be able to buy stuff for a bit less?
Well, it's more like 300,000 years.

Anyway, even if that always happens, that seems a bit too large a hill for evolution to notice it's not a global peak and route around. Unguided genetic evolution is scarily efficient, but not that much.

(Funny thing that memetic evolution may be able to make that decision, but if you are right, it's the problem by itself, so it couldn't fix it.)
If you want to find a way to not defend an ally, you'll always find one :)

NATO treaty itself does not talk about rapid response forces, joint bases and so on. All of that comes beyond the treaty. What stops key states from retreating back to basic treaty and then finding an excuse when Article 5 comes? E.g. if Russia comes as non-marked „rebels“?
> if a NATO member is attacked, then member states are obligated to come to the member's aid. It's essentially tantamount to saying, if you are at war with a NATO member, you are at war with the whole bloc,

This is the deterrent—and it also rhymes with the Triple Entente v. Triple Alliance tensions that set off the Great War.
Oh wow, they're using Pepe the Frog: https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2016/09/28/pepe-joins-ec...
Basically if EU/US forces engage Russians directly it's ww3. I think that's going to happen anyway, but mismatches in tempo are common and rational in the early stages of a conflict.

Point being those algae are eukaryotic. The article is about an unusually large bacterium (prokaryotic) which has some eukaryotic features.
A substantial number of bugs I see where a method is called on nil are business logic errors that result in something not being where it's expected, and those bugs would just manifest differently at runtime with static typing. Every web app I've ever seen in a statically typed language has plenty of logic relying on "unwrap nullable or raise error" mechanisms.

Mutually assured destruction means that his entire ass is destroyed - there's a lot more of NATO than there is of him.

The Budapest Memorandum. 1994 wasn't that long ago...
So we wait until they're doing this in Poland? I think I've seen this one before. Doesn't end well for anyone involved.

Better to hit an enemy when they're not expecting it.
Poland is a NATO state. An attack on Poland would trigger World War 3 because the whole alliance is set up to jump in.
No as it's completely based on users reporting if an issue exists. If a user doesn't report the outage, then it doesn't get caught.

Try ThousandEyes Outage Map -

https://www.thousandeyes.com/outages/

The map is free and it's updated every 5 minutes showing ongoing and recently detected outages.

ThousandEyes actually monitors servers of cloud networks and popular applications for disruptions in activity, which is a lot different than Downdector's reliance on user sentiment.

Neat! Interestingly Ada has had this feature since its inception around 1983 (use in action with CPUID - https://gist.github.com/AdaDoom3/6466215).
Simple fact is western powers don't have the capability to maintain any sort of airspace over ukraine or other nearby countries.
Russia is not a weak country that can be deterred by a no fly zone.
> Who and literally what army would stop them?

Among several others, the United States military. Which, contrary to claims made elsewhere in this thread, is a pretty formidable defensive force. In fact, it even has aircraft carriers that can move under their own power.
There's no NATO forces on Ukrainian land. But there are Russian ones. And they have already occupied large parts of Ukraine - and trying right now, right this very moment, to take more. So you can "think" whatever you want, but the facts are completely opposite to your claims.
This is an avoidable problem though. We invented this by racing to the bottom and assembling “food” with substitutes for real nutrition. The goal is to educate humanity so that we can start making more conscious decisions about what we eat and move away from this.
I think there is still uncertainty as to how long the "natural immunity" lasts. I haven't seen any data that backs up what you've claimed. From what i've seen its pretty inconsistent person to person compared to the vaccine.

Considering how easy and available the vaccine is, i don't understand the issue with requiring the vax over natural immunity. While its healthy to debate about the science, the reality is that a lot of the covid discussion is just the american culture war, and thin scientific data is being co-opted to prove some point du jour
Scorched Earth. Ukraine decides the only tactic left is to deny its enemy use of the area++.
I agree with the premise that using a google-like AI to "detect someone who looks like a criminal" is a terrible idea; but I also think that if you're out in public you shouldn't expect privacy. Loads of people think if they go shopping at wallmart it is illegal to look at them and say "Oh hi Joe, how's the family?". I'm pretty sure the universal expectation of privacy is more harmful than taking a balanced approach and interacting with reality on reality's terms.

The best outcome here is for cops to get bored, ask the city to offer a tax incentive to businesses to scan for known criminal faces & report 10 seconds CCTV before + after a hit is found, and now the police have a statistic they can use for policing. The big scandal is when "known criminal faces" start to contain "just alleged that X did Y", at which point it's merely political. If you are X, wait for the arrest and sue the city when you're proven innocent.
>In fact, the US has had to tread very carefully simply to place missiles that are capable of carrying nuclear warheads in Poland, which is a neighbor of Ukraine.

according to Putin that treading is a major motivation for his current actions.
Part of the challenge is that governments tend to come and go on 4 or 5 year cycles, so their priorities tend to be focused on issues likely to (or certain to) happen before the next election or other democratic event.

Governments often assume (wrongly) that businesses have incentives to handle long-term risks, since they want to exist for a long time and remain profitable. The reality though is most are more focused on their share price and dividend than handling strategic risks.
That's highly relevant! China may spend 1/3, but they are more efficient. We probably waste 1/2 or more of our spending. So it's possible we are closer to parity than it would appear if solely comparing budget.

How is demanding the end of NATO via an outside party having veto control over membership "negotiating"?

It's very obvious that his demands are impossible. Putin is really a master at playing people. It's kind of shocking people are _still_ falling for it.
That sounds like a proposal for just not de-carbonizing until fusion is ready. Is that what you mean? When do you think we could have say 5% of the worlds power coming from fusion reactors?
Putin escalated to nuclear threats already. There's ww3 potential now.
But at say 10 bar of pressure, flight would be much easier...

Is there any evidence for or against the surface pressure of earth being higher in the past?
As someone who's quite interested in the anti-seed oil discourse/slowly forming movement, my endgame is simply having more people aware of what's in their food. We've accepted what's been handed to us for so long, without a significant percentage of the population stopping to look at exactly what's on the plate.

The more people that are stopping to read ingredients labels. analyze their diet, and think critically about their consumption, the better.
This isn't a Ukrainian or Russian perspective, but an alternative perspective.

John Mearsheimer gives a popular alternative perspective. He has a realist foreign policy perspective suggesting that the US and the west provoked Russia by trying to push Ukraine to join NATO and by intervening in the protests/coup in 2013/2014. Russia has a legitimate security interest in ensuring Ukraine does not join NATO and become militarized.

If you somehow could swap the US population with the Swiss (times 30, of course), I imagine our homeless problems would evaporate within a few years. I believe homelessness represents a social issue in North America, not a political one. I live in New York and I don't think any amount of affordable housing, handouts, or government intervention solve fix the problems of the people I walk past every day, nor will they stop the pipeline of people soon to be in the same position.
Errrrr.... so you mean you'd rather have the bug, thank you very much? :)
Why not just "export RUSTC_FORCE_INCREMENTAL=1" in your env and hope for the best then? :P

You are forgetting the fact that the odds are heavily against NATO, in a RAND wargame it was found that russia can occupy the baltic States within 48 hours while nato would be still warning up
IIRC soybeans help add nitrogen back to the soil and are highly subsidized.
I believe russia has already fully integrated the idea that this will shift to a guerilla war once they have complete ownership of all the country. Nor is Ukraine (or Russia's way of maintaining control over a country once they occupy it) is really analogous to either of those countries.
The idea that the (in)stability of a nation can legitimize military incursion by another nation is plain absurd. At what point exactly does a war become legitimate? Is it okay to attack a country when they are entwined in civil war? What percentage of the country needs to be involved in the conflict? What if it is an unarmed but still major internal political conflict?

No war is legitimate.

Comparing this incursion to NATO "protecting" their national interests in Syria or Iraq is perhaps defensible, but the only logical conclusion is that these interventions were/are equally condemnable.
Interesting. I suppose a resolute response to the first violation by Russia might have helped.
I don't think they have a problem recognizing those that subscribe to the warrior cult mentality - notice how often our politicians publicly call Putin a "thug"? It's dealing with it that's the issue. You literally have to change a culture - how does one do that? Clearly sanctions are a blunt tool and often backfire. And violence is supposed to be the last resort for those of the equality mindset, whereas it's the first for the warrior mindset. It's tricky.

I've tried to map this model onto Afghanistan but I think that's a bit of a different beast. America was 100% foolish to invade, I agree. But an equality mentality and a warrior mentality are not the only cultural philosophies. Religion alters the picture in yet another way.
Why would a mandate depend on employment? Shouldn't a public health issue be dealt with by public health measures?

The reality, as we have now seen, is that vaccine mandates of an experimental approval drug are unlawful at the federal level.

Thus attempts to have companies do it in a patchwork fashion were an attempt to end-run the issue (yes my employer does a huge amount of government related business).
> Today there's a lot of tough talk but there's no indication that Ukrainians will put up a fight and die en masse

There's no evidence to the contrary. It has just begun.

I think back in Ye Olde Days it was harder for people who just had a scrollbar, and weren't necessarily all that familiar with that, either.

There has never been a technical need for it. The "Home" keyboard button when pressed on a web page has taken you to the top probably since the very first web browser was released. But there's a lot of computer users for whom that entire complex of keys off to the right of Enter on a standard keyboard is The Outer Hinterlands, Where There Be Dragons, except for maybe the arrow keys. Also the entire line of function keys. Not everyone is an expert.
The ATtiny85 is a rather small 8-bit microcontroller, and controllers in that size range generally don't have peripherals on the complexity level of USB. So no, there are no 85s with USB programming support built in.

Truth be told, the 85:s are a bit old now, it was released around 2005. But even the more modern "[012]-series" [1] don't support USB, it is kind of the point. The linked Wikipedia page says:

ATtiny microcontrollers specifically excludes various common features, such as: USB peripheral, DMA controller, crypto engine, or an external memory bus.

> But then I read about the history of the conflict and see that Ukraine has had separatist states and civil war for years.

Ukraine voted 90+% in favor of independence from Russia back in the 1991, with 82% of the electorate participating: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_Independence_of...

Since Putin came to power, he's worked hard to expand Russia's influence outside of it's current borders and back towards it's former USSR or Russian Empire borders. This includes propaganda, instigating rebellions, etc.

The "civil war" in Ukraine, started after a pro-Russian President was ousted, and without direct influence over Ukraine, Russia has been fighting a proxy war in the separatist regions.

> It isn't like Ukraine is a stable, peaceful, and unwitting nation, like, say, Denmark.

Russia is claiming that the people of Ukraine are Russian speaking and historically belong integrated with Russia.

It's like Mexico saying they want the Southwest US back. Historically it was part of Mexico, has many Spanish speakers, etc.

But where does this stop? What if Italy wants to recreate the Roman Empire or the UK wants to re-establish the British Empire? It's really bizarre to look backwards in time, as there are 30 year olds in Ukraine with kids of their own now who were never alive during the USSR and know nothing but Ukrainian independence.

Ideally as a world, we allow people the right to self-determination. But every superpower I can think of throughout history is guilty of influencing (or attacking) foreign countries for political and military advantage and manufacturing any reason imaginable to justify it.
This is not the reason.

Pure and simply Russia needs people, its dying.

Low birth rate, high death rate, little immigration to make up the short fall (who wants to move to Russia :)), and to top off a weak economy that will struggle to support a small less active workforce. Interestingly Ukraine has pretty much the same population problem.

This will be increasingly common problem for countries as population growth slows.
