Another related source of information is The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholz, Erin Bennett. It goes deep into pretty much every major nutritional study from 1950-2005 and shows a lot of how soybean and many other seed/vegetable oil was originally founded on poorly constructed studies and how there is likely much more harm from them.

Highly recommended. It lines up well with this article.
I tried it and found it was way too aggressive in its default settings by blocking things like intros, recaps, things they think are off topic, and the timings were often not exact so it would jump back in mid sentence. I'm sure there are ways to adjust these to my liking but it was just easier to uninstall it.

That's an ideal world, but we don't live in an ideal world. Politicians do things not just to get reelected, but also to build their own wealth and power. To say that they only care about being reelected is a gross and inaccurate simplification.
Under article 5 of NATO our red line is an attack on any member of NATO. This has to be enforced for the alliance to mean anything.

Putin is attacking before Ukraine has this protection, I think no one wants hot conflict with NATO including NATO members.
Taking account that this is unproven in humans -- it's enough for me to avoid soybean oil, as cooking oil choice is not very important for my palate.

That said, which oils would you use for frying and baking? Most high smoke point oils are, like soybean, polyunsaturated, so I'd guess that they could have some of the same (proposed) negative effects. Bonus points if the alternative is widely available (I see potential options like avocado oil and ghee, which may not be in my local stores).

Edit:
To clarify, the following oils are ALSO very high in PUFAs and thus might have similar issues to soybean oil: grapeseed, safflower, sunflower, corn, walnut, cottonseed.
Somewhat lower but still fairly high in PUFAs: sesame, canola, peanut.
Finally, some oils are low in PUFAs but not suitable for the same uses as soybean oil. Olive oil is one of these.
I will let other readers of this thread judge for themselves.
No. Virtually all seed oils are terrible for you.
Because it is a young child
Someone above said that it's usually marketed as "vegatable oil".
The article specifically mentions, following that cited part, on Linoleic acid:

> the research team has not yet isolated which chemicals in the oil are responsible for the changes they found in the hypothalamus. But they have ruled out two candidates. It is not linoleic acid, since the modified oil also produced genetic disruptions; nor is it stigmasterol, a cholesterol-like chemical found naturally in soybean oil.
The post itself includes a caution against applying this information directly to humans. It is a sign further research is warranted, nothing more (as opposed to completely pointless).
Hustle and hype: the truth about the influencer economy
?

Did you perhaps get taken in by "We are evolving from a video game retailer to a technology company that connects customers with games, entertainment and a wide assortment of products"?

Everybody and their grandmother is claiming that they are evolving into a technology company if they aren't already one. Doesn't actually mean they are. "Connecting customers with games, entertainment and a wide assortment of products" would have been a reasonable description of gamestop's business since I first went to one in the 90s. I can't read the following 4 points after that statement, which go slightly into specifics, any way other than "we're going to keep doing what we've always done, but even harder".

So yes, their strategy seems effectively unchanged to me. Not sure how all the pablum about their financial juggling is relevant to their change in strategy, or lack thereof.

What significant change to their business model did they announce + demonstrate the value of around the time of the stock price explosion to justify the increased price? I see absolutely nothing. GP seems obviously correct in the assessment that it's hype. Everything you quoted seems like irrelevant corporate speak malarkey to me.
Italy's GDP is $1.87T.
Russia's GDP is $1.48T, down from around $2.3T in 2013.

Russia's economy is dependent on fossil fuels. While the decrease in Europe's use of nuclear power has been a gift to Russia, the future for fossil fuels is not bright and Russia's kleptocratic government has starved the nation of economic innovation.

I don't know what "extremely significant country" means here, but Russia is objectively a country in decline both in terms of economic and cultural power.
> In my country (not Spain) our government broke many laws (violated the constitution) in the name of covid restrictions. They decided it was ok because of public health. But laws are pointless if they can just be ignored when the government wants to. So in the sense of discussion, I think "illegal" is probably appropriate here, otherwise "in violation of post-enlightenment liberal democratic norms" maybe?

Because elites live under state sponsored anarcho-capitalism.
It's only illegal if you're found out and then only if you find someone to prosecute you(cash only verdicts don't count for obvious reasons).
I suppose the knowledge graph is a step towards this. But people will always want to read more about a subject and share a link to other people, so this seems like the logical next step!
> is it actually possible?

I don't think you can. It is too volatile to be used as a currency.

> Can I pay < .1% fees like I would with fiat and can I buy physical goods anonymously?

No. It is not anonymous and the fees are just as high.

> Or is it really just that I can send money to someone else? I've tried some googling but certainly not found anything definitive. If I don't want to "invest", why would I get BTC instead of cash for personal spending? Or is that not what it's for?

It is meant for peer-to-peer electronic cash. Using a wallet on an exchange defeats the purpose of 'peer-to-peer' and so does waiting for hours to send Bitcoins from one address to another which is slower than 'fast bank transfer'.

There are better cryptocurrencies and stable-coins suitable for that purpose.
The obvious answer would probably be the size and the dip formfactor. Sure you can get more capable BGA packaged chips, but how many hobbyists have the ability to properly solder in a BGA?
I doubt they'll ever truly win, but they already work. You don't need to be as big as twitter to be a successful social media platform.

I already use mastodon. Not in a "someone needs to be first" sense, but just as a platform I like.

Peertube doesn't have the content to be there yet, and the model is a bit more difficult (as hosting video is just more expensive than hosting small bits of text and pictures, even with p2p features). There is some good content on there, but (for me) not enough to make it a social platform like YouTube. Also content discovery still isn't there yet. I recommend fedivideos@mas.to as a good resource to find some nice things.
Interesting, thanks!

Good thing I didn't compare fusion to perpetual motion, then. I was pointing out that his too-simple approach could be easily misapplied, and picked an especially obvious negative example to counter his especially obvious positive one.

At this point we just don't know whether fusion is like airplanes or whether it's like perpetual motion. Unless you are proposing building an actual star, the existence of stars tells us approximately nothing about whether a fusion-based power plant is economically achievable in our lifetimes.

I think it's an interesting idea and I'd love to see it happen. But I think it's important to be realistic in our discussion of it.
Isn't something like 1/3 of their GDP energy exports though? Presumably most of the customers are European.
What did you move to? I'm moving away from Google and considering alternatives, but Fastmail seems to be the most "reputable" and it's hard to know who to trust.
An MCU is a chip in a package that just cannot interface with anything your consumer PC or notebook comes with. You'll need an adapter in any case.

That said, lots of current MCUs come with UART, I2C and/or USB bootloaders allowing to erase/program (if not disabled). This bootloader is typically included in factory ROM, not to be programmed by you or a third party.
The UI designers I had worked with do not have much experience working with the web platform as a user or developer, are not aware of capabilities default controls provide and almost never use the products they've designed. Additional exposure of UI compared to under-the-hood stuff begs for additional bikeshedding and micromanagement by people who understand this even less, like management. Maybe I never met good a designer or worked in a company with sane process.
But how do you tell which sides are the Nazis. I know it's controversial but hind sight is 20/20 and here both sides claim the other side is authoritarian. I don't think we can just assume the next Nazis will use the same name as the ones before. They however will certainly grow out of hatred. The world nations buried a seed of hatred in German heart through reparations post WW1 and the whole world reaped the horrors that grew out of it.

The current leaders should always remember while kicking the weak ones today. How much bitterness and hatred am i sowing with my actions and who will reap the horrors. Same goes with the people on either side that cheer whenever authoritarian actions take place. They could be cheering their own destruction or of future generations.
I keep a lot of notebooks of general problems I run into and ways I think problems can be solved. I sketch out a bunch of ideas in a notebook and let it sit. I might do some research to see if it's been done before, and if so how, and if that solves the problem. If I keep coming back to the idea to add things, or see where it can be used, it goes in my queue of "things to do".

I prototype with basic materials (post-it notes, notecards, paper, etc.) to see if the idea is fleshed enough and has legs. I do this because a lot of my "failed projects" were just really not well-defined enough to proceed. It also helps build out the idea and helps illustrate deep-ends you should avoid in a prototype, and what an MVP might look like. Simple material prototypes help demonstrate the sorts of capabilities your program will need.

Once a project receives enough attention, I consider actually coding it up. I boil down the idea to the core of what's to be done, and try that. If it fails, maybe it wasn't a good idea, so try alternative approaches if I have any sketched out or any lessons learned from the initial attempt. I try to build up knowledge around the area of the project in-case it deserves a return in a few months or years.

If a project does actually work out, then I justify further development based on effort vs. what I need from the program.

In most traditional contexts, risk is defined as severity x probability.

You outlined the severity of NATO intervention. That is to say, you only described half of the equation. It could very well be that Russia assumes the probability of NATO intervention is disproportionately low, meaning the risk calculation is also low. Maybe they think that balance outweighs the economic risk.

> [Domestic support] doesn't really matter though, what matters is that they are there illegally. A lot of Germans supported the invasion of Poland as well to gain some 'lebensraum'. That did not make them right.

You’re moving the goal posts. You suggested that the Russian people could or should stage mass protests. I responded that you’re naive for thinking that Russians are going to stage mass protests against this because there’s large public support for the military actions here. Now you’re saying it doesn’t matter if there’s support for the war because it’s still wrong and illegal. Well, no shit?

So which is it? Is it Putin acting as a dictator against the will of his people in a desperate attempt to retain power, or is it just that the Russians support those in the Donbas region?

> In all likelihood, it is not healthy for humans.

I'm sure their mouse studies are showing them something, but this is the kind of bold claim that wants to be tested anthropologically as much as bio-pharmacologically.

China is the leading consumer of soybean oil. It's been a dietary staple since the 11th century.

Any claim it's generally unhealthy has to reconcile with the fact that it's been used for 1000+ years. Perhaps one could claim "not optimally healthy," but it's not a novel chemical.

I'm sure they think "we dont want the usa puppet masters anywhere around here". Which is exactly what Putin is writing in his speeches about. Have you read the speeches on the Kremlin's website? There is an english version that explains pretty much every reason that a pro-Putin Russian would gobble up as gospel.
Trump has consistently parroted Russian propaganda over his own intelligence while in office, and has not stopped since leaving office:

The oil and gas pumping you mention started under Obama, and responding to an attack on American forces with lethal force is an incredibly low bar. The other state department actions don't change that his administration was vocally pro-Russia.

More information is required to answer that question, but I can imagine two countries that both have a policy of "no first use" could have a conventional war, including an invasion, without the conflict becoming nuclear. Losing a conventional war might be much better than "winning" a nuclear one.

> Among other things, almost all trees are cospectral

This does not really mean that the spectrum is not interesting, does it? Only that all trees have nearly the same spectrum. Sure, there's not much variability inside the class of trees, but almost no graphs are trees. After all, the matrix associated to a tree is basically a permutation of the identity.
Have you ever kept a log of the food you eat in a day? Admittedly I come at this from a very different perspective being obese, and having been much more obese in the past, but actively logging my food and retrospectively calculating calories gave me a much better sense of how much I was actually eating.

When you've recorded some data on that it would be productive to calculate your basal metabolic rate, which are the calories your body uses on the daily (so any exercise adds on to that). Comparing those two figures might be productive.

Of course there may be genetic factors going on but perception is so powerful it's the first thing I'd question
It is hard-down for me
Nor should we want to! I have spent a week trying just to make my forms screen-reader-friendly and it is very hard, especially if you're using a library already to build the components. But the reason I know it won't work is that all my changes look like weird hacks and are bound to be immediately broken by the next person to work on them that's not using a screenreader.
I wouldn't be so sure. Taiwan is different in that they have TSMC which is definitely of extreme strategic interest to NATO.
Your "better comparison" finds that error codes are slower than exceptions? It's right there at the top in bold even if you don't want to read the whole thing:

> TL;DR On modern 64-bit PC architectures, C++ exceptions only add unreachable code with destructor calls into functions and their effect on performance is below 1%, but such low values are difficult to measure. Handling rare errors with return values requires additional branching that slows down the program in realistic scenarios by about 5% and are also less convenient.

Also I see you "cherry picked" your counter example using the sqrt test, which is less influenced by per-call overhead. Using instead the fib test, which is basically just a test of call overhead, we get instead:

12ms-14ms (exceptions) vs. 22-23ms (boost::LEAF)

Both the paper & your link are in agreement - exceptions are faster than error return values.

> 5% cost to using error codes. In exchange for that 5% you don't fall off a performance cliff if you hit a bunch of errors unexpectedly, and can confidently use them in hot paths and on CPUs with multiple cores.

You also get more fragility since error handling is now manual. I'd rather have performance and reliability, which only exceptions can provide. They don't provide that today thanks to the global mutex, but the point of the paper & related explorations is that that both can be fixed, and that fixing it provides a superior performing solution. And a more reliable one.

Unless you're arguing that it's better to just always have a 5% performance tax & manual, error-prone error handling? We shouldn't attempt to fix the toolchain at all? The paper isn't arguing that people should use exceptions today. The paper is arguing that exceptions should be fixed so that they can be used in the future.

It's really not about Russia, it's about Putin desire to be a famous dictator like Stalin and Hitler.

He already got high-score as a billionaire dictator of Russia with gigantic palaces and whatnot. He already did some 'small' wars and expanded Russia's territory.

Now he wants to play big and defeat a major country and be considered a major player like USSR was.

There's no profit in it.
"Vegetable oil" seems to usually be all or mostly soy bean oil. I believe margarine is also made largely from soy, as well.

Mice strike the best balance for science of animals who are decent proxies for humans, are inexpensive to breed and genetically manipulate, and who don't trigger much ethical backlash.

It seems to me though that the extent to which mouse biology and behavior translates well to human biology and behavior might also be the extent to which it's totally immoral. "Yes, but think of how many future lives I'll save by vivisecting this sentient or semi-sentient being..."
There is plenty of research done on the harmful effects of seed oils.

It’s not a stretch to assume this is yet another study demonstrating this in mice models.
Interestingly enough, soybean oil is virtually non-existent over here in Germany - at least not as oil that you can buy (here the dominant ones are canola, good ol' sunflower and olive - the latter not for frying though), and I also haven't heard of it as an ingredient in industrial foods, but I wouldn't vouch for that.
