I'm not just talking about benzos, but also anti psychotics, amphetamines, statins, and basically the whole gamut. My brother is a pharmacist, and is constantly shocked by the prescriptions that healthy people bring in to get filled. The medical field has been unjustly given too much prestige.

No politician needs to listen to them for this to be effective. Having state-sponsored groups to attack DRM among other technical measures to produce cracked content can make them drastically harder to block. It may also help with winning over the hearts and minds of the people in in the coming years. Russia has a history of playing both sides when it comes to manipulating western politics, supporting both far-left and far-right groups in order to destabilize western countries, so this may well be a part of their strategy.
Part of it is the exact federal poverty line depends on the family size. An income that's just over the poverty line for two adults would be under the line once it's two adults and one kid. Something like a third of adults in poverty would not be if they were childless. And then of course their kid(s) are a statistic.

Spoke to a psychiatrist on this one. He was saying The Lancet longitudinal study was bunk and that Xanax use was not one of concern.

I'm not saying he's correct, but he literally laughed at my objection to Xanax, including it's now very long history of use with an average dose of 6mg/day.
I’m not saying that they cannot both true.

I’m asking what happened, which is an indication that… something changed, or was this an anomaly, or that the article is glossing over something

Why are people attempting to read the least charitable interpretation of things today.

HackerNews is usually more intellectually honest than this.
> Exercise was uncomfortable until I had lost weight, now I can do 15+ mile hikes with a 60l backpack.

A simple walk on an incline (5km/hr @ 5% incline) can help you burn 400+kcals/hour. You can probably eat at 1500 kcals and start your day with a walk like that on the treadmill while watching some TV show :).

> .. but it is possible to lose weight by calorie restriction alone.

Indeed it is! :)

If you're obese or severely overweight, it's best to just do a PSMF to lose weight as quickly as possible. Btw, at 230lbs you can easily do strength training which will help you with body recomp (stimulating muscle growth while burning fat).

A good rule of thumb for a PSMF is 9.7x[protein intake]. For example: given 1.6g/kg*104kg = 166g of protein per day we get: 166g * 9.7 kcal/g = 1610 kcal. So your daily calories are at 1610 kcal max, and you need to eat at least 166g of protein (the rest of the calories can be filled with carbs/fat). I suggest min 50g of fat per day for men.

It's not too bad. Loved the aesthetics of Spain this year too
> I felt safe and drivers were respectful and patient when passing.

A large part of this, from what I've observed living in Canada and the Netherlands, is the different perspectives borne out of each culture.

In the Netherlands, everyone grows up having been a bicycle commuter. It's how every child gets to school. So everyone has been a bicycle commuter for at least some period of their lives and can sympathize with other bicycle commuter.

In Canada, it's less common for children to ride bicycles to school. Busses are far more common or parents dropping off their kids at the kiss-n-ride. When kids do ride bicycles, it's for sport.

So if a Canadian driver sees a person riding a bicycle, he or she does not see that person as an equal; someone who is also using the road to commute. They tend to see the bicycle commuter as someone who is intruding on their space, using the road (which is for commuting) for sport. And there is some small proportion of self-appointed citizen police who will decide to "teach them a lesson", much like you have with drivers who go about break-checking. It does not take many of those experiences to instill a sense of terror for those who try to commute by bicycle.

Additionally, in the Netherlands people who drive to work still frequently ride their bicycles to run errands. Need a carton of volle melk from the Albert Heijn or Jumbo? Just hop on your bicycle and ride 5 minutes. In the Netherlands there are very few food deserts [0] and small, well-stocked grocery stores are close at hand for every neighbourhood. That's often impractical in Canada, where we have shifted to large RC Superstores and Walmart "Supercentres", often located distant to residential neighbourhoods, often located along stroads which are inhospitable to anyone but car drivers.

In the Netherlands, it's much easier to think, "well, that could be me tomorrow", when driving past a bicycle commuter. In Canada, car drivers see the bicycle commuter as an invader or alien species, "the cyclist", whom is different and perhaps even unwelcome. In Canada, I feel lucky if the car drivers just tolerate my presence on the road; In the Netherlands I felt seen as an equal.

I don't quite understand the push for pronounced minority caricatuarization as a display of nobility, nor the dominance of bald macho man covered in blood as a protagonist in some subgenres of games.

A lot of anime, JRPGs and mobile gacha games are built around the concept of a fictional, prominent group of teenagers of audiences' sexual orientation saving the world, and that passes Bechdel tests, and seems to almost perfectly fit into "the" criteria. Teenage girl quantum physicist scantily clothed talking democracy and sacrificing their life, for a reason miles away from a dick but for a true greater good? I think those are just clicks away if that is what you want or what you need more to correct the world we are in.

But it's not what everyone wants, if not a polar opposite, so I don't understand why it's talked this often.
That's why I always drink my coffee black. The amount of calories in sugar and especially "Coffee Mate" is amazing (in a bad way). A serving size of Coffee Mate is actually 1/5 of what I see most people actually put in their coffee. It only looks "low-ish" calories because the serving size is so small.
>I think they would find neighbors very welcoming - even the toughest cities and neighborhoods are mostly friendly people - but the culture would be unfamiliar and the newcomer would have to adjust.

Sure, I agree, with emphasis on the newcomer adjusting.

>I'm not sure where that is in many cities, other than suburbs. You can't escape the richness of large cities.

To clarify, I just mean locations that attract people of a wide variety of backgrounds. That is not to say those locations are 'un-rich' or anything. I just mean that interactions there are governed more by mainstream American culture than by anything specific to that city or neighborhood or the people involved.
Back when you had to actually give the number to the cashier and they would read back the first name to confirm (or maybe it was if multiple accounts were tied to the same number, I'm not sure) I would always use this number with the local area code. Older cashiers would just put the number in and move on, below a certain age threshold they would say "Jenny?" and I would nod.
"I'm big boned" - show them an MRI or cat scan of a morbidly obese person and you see a tiny little skeleton surrounded by what looks like a giant, puffed up cartoon balloon body.

"I have a low metabolism" - obese people actually have a high 'metabolism', because moving all that extra weight takes a lot of energy

"Being overweight is not unhealthy" - weird then that they are having trouble getting pregnant and/or miscarriage regularly, need a machine to breathe at night lest their brain not receive enough oxygen, their knees and hips and eyes are that of someone several decades older, they're likely dependent upon insulin injections to live, and substantially more likely to develop cancer, etc.

Yes, there are a lot of negative attitudes towards obese patients in the medical community. That is partly because obese people think they know better than medical science, and are more interested in screaming about how they're being discriminated against thanks to the patriarchy and unrealistic beauty standards....than actually doing something about their weight...like accepting a referral to a nutritionist and accepting the advice to engage in more activity and weight-bearing exercise.

When someone needs a machine to breathe, artificial joint replacements, hourly/daily insulin, and Star Trek levels of intervention to reproduce, maybe they just need to shut the fuck up and lose weight.

You know what's really infuriating? Maintaining a healthy weight, getting exercise, making an effort to eat a balanced diet that hits lots of nutrients....and seeing these people cost my insurance company several orders of magnitude more money to keep alive than I do.
SSRI-like drugs and drugs like buspirone are considered the gold standard for anxiety disorders now. They do not act like benzodiazepines at all in the brain.
The argument actually understates the work Shaq put into becoming an elite player. Shaq's physical gifts obviously give him a huge advantage, but there are plenty of 7-footers in the NBA that don't do as well as him. Shaq learned actual skills (shot-making, agility, footwork) that other big men tend to ignore because they can get by on their size.

The main problem with this year's broadcast imo that the hosts are not speaking _that_ good english. The whole thing just doesn't feel natural, it really comes across they speak a foreign language.
Not really, but I am also not too bothered about those corporations anyways.
The only way to lose weight (other than amputation and the like) is to take in less calories than you burn. If what you say is correct it just means that in those cases the intermittent fasting causes higher energy expenditure.
Is IQ connected to genetics somehow?

That could maybe indicate that lower percentile IQ are just as - or more – successful at leaving descendants nowadays than before.

If we consider the world spent half the century in large scale conflict, maybe that was an IQ “filter” (since, for example, academics wouldn’t be drafted to the front lines), but now humanity doesn’t face the same pressure?
It's also incredibly common for mothers not to have sufficient supply regardless of formula use. This results in a negative spiral where the baby won't be fed enough, and the mother isn't able to sleep, resulting in even less supply. Formula allows the mother to sleep, and the baby to be properly fed, even when they mother wants to breast feed.
Can you be a little more specific? Wikipedia seems to mostly say that the science is still a work in progress, and at least I don't see much support for the claim that it reduces weight while allowing for the same calorie consumption.
Nvidia no more moved toward open source than Google with the play store. It still depends on binary closed source blobs.

I assure you that Nvidia is not going to lose market share to Intel in the GPU race. Even Apple is creating chipsets Thad trounce Intel in graphics performance.
yah, the need to always be planning is definitely a drag, and it dampening the deisre to step away is completely understandable. it totally makes sense to me that parents often choose the hybrid approach (of supplementing with formula) because of this.
Blame NBC, the local broadcasters decide if they want to block it or not

NBC is not the "local broadcaster" in the sense that the BBC is the local broadcaster for the United Kingdom, or ABC is the local broadcaster for Australia. Broadcasting in the U.S. doesn't work that way.

That said, NBC does air American Song Contest, which is Eurovision production, and receives very poor ratings. Because of this, I surmise that Eurovision doesn't air in the United States because none of the broadcasters will pay for the rights if it's not going to bring in enough viewers to make up for the fee.

If Eurovision really wanted its program to be seen in the U.S., there is no shortage of small networks, cable/satellite networks, LPTV networks, or OTT providers for getting its program seen. It just has to offer the show at a reasonable rate.

I don't think this is a case of the usual HN cliché of "Evil company blocks me from seeing something for no other reason than to be evil."
I wonder if they would get in trouble for making hundreds of random VoIP calls, especially if they intend to do this on a regular basis.

But I suppose we wouldn't be getting so many spam calls if people actually got in trouble often, maybe that's what emboldened this person to try.
The TLDR really is that counting calories is the only way to truly know. If you have a very regular diet it’s not too hard. For example I eat the same breakfast every day, and a handful of different lunches. So it’s easy to know what my macros are for those meals.

Incidentally at one restaurant I like, I always get the salad, because it’s one of the highest-calorie options they have.

I’ve never been on a calorie deficit and not been hungry.

Calorie deficits are always a little unpleasant imo. It’s just suffering through that to get to a place where you want to maintain (which is much easier).

I’ve lost 73lbs, 53lbs, 35lbs (different times and gained weight over years in between). Each time the calorie deficit sucked. There is a 3 day hump and two week hump of misery until you get kind of used to it sucking, but I wouldn’t say it’s ever great.
And how does he know they are healthy?

AFAIK, oldest popular art would be the 1964 CDC 6600 and it's peripheral processors, designed around the idea that memory speed >> cpu speed (at the time, true).

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDC_6600

An electrical engineer looks at a computer design and says "If only we had faster switching transistors!" A computer scientist looks at a computer design and says "If only my compiler could optimize code better!"

A computer engineer looks at state of the art across the board and says "This architecture will allow us to maximize performance with currently available components."

If networking or IO is being held back by the CPU (or vice versus)... there's performance to be gained by doing things differently.
>I know roughly how many calories it is, so I barely have to think about anymore.

This is key for me. My wife loves variety and so she struggles with counting calories.

I prefer simple and known-to-be-delicious, and so I know about how much each of my meals is going to affect me. I came to hate calorie counting pretty quickly, and with that I came to hate eating out, because it's the hardest to count. And I'm not yet convinced that I've ever actually counted enough calories for any meal when eating out. There's so much self-deception involved, both my own and the people who are supposedly reporting the calories, both officially and unofficially.
Getting many things wrong by the Eurovision observers is part of Eurovision. BBC is the worst (or should I say best) in this regard.
It really is this simple. I never do explicit diets because changing food AND calories can lead to quick failure. I just continue getting the same food and reduce the amount--small fries instead of large. Next time, half the small fries. Introducing healthier foods and exercise should be done separately IMO

Yes, over one tablespoon is more sugar than an adult should have per day. (Not to mention all the added sugar these days.) Maybe an ice cream on the weekend.

I usually combine with a Almond/Coconut milk and it is fine without sweetener. May take a bit to get used to if you have habits to break.

My problem with semijoins is that the semantics of "what exactly does a SELECT evaluate to inside an expression" are sometimes murky and might vary across databases.
This is great! I'll have to think about how to combine "storing deltas within the list" and "storing deltas of the list," but there should be some significant gains available
IIRC they didn't not break it.
> If goto is easily available in the high level language then creating a state machine is trivial I guess.

It's still painful, because whichever state you're in probably cares about different data. Some data only needs to exist during some states. Factoring states into separate functions means each gets its own scope, and can explicitly pass only data needed for the next state forward.

> If it's not then the compiler should be able to do TCO with jumps/gotos in the output asm or transpiled code

It's nice to be able to indicate explicitly to the compiler (and other developers!) that you expect tail calls to be optimized, rather than crossing your fingers and hoping that nobody else comes along later and accidentally adds something after the call. Scala optimizes tail recursion by default, but it also has a `tailrec` annotation that causes the compiler to throw an error if it isn't able to respect that intent.
>Eurovision doesn't air in the United States because none of the broadcasters will pay for the rights if it's not going to bring in enough viewers to make up for the fee

NBC bought the rights https://eurovision.tv/story/peacock-eurovision

After that it's up to them blocking the Youtube stream or not and they did block it

>I don't think this is a case of the usual HN cliché of "Evil company blocks me from seeing something for no other reason than to be evil."

No it's the case "we bought the licence and we stream it on our streaming platform and you have to watch it here"
On its own maybe. But add large fries and a soda and it’s ~1300 calories. Way more than half most peoples daily requirement.
> My brother is a pharmacist, and is constantly shocked by the prescriptions that healthy people bring in to get filled.

While I definitely agree with your general point, how does your brother know that they’re healthy or don’t need to take the medication? I’ve never had any discussion with a pharmacist (in the US or Canada) where I’ve revealed this information.
> You're Not Losing Fat Because You're Eating Too Damn Much (Even When You Don't Think You Are)

I read through the whole article, it is true, but the headline is wrong, you are not losing weight because you feel miserable. If it was just an issue of calorie restriction with no other effects, yes, this would be the reason.
I'm coming over to your house! Party on, dude!
Dude if you live in Texas and aren't a recent transplant you'll know it's not weird. When it's 90+ for the entire time the sun is up the A/C is running plenty just to keep it at 78.

78 is quite comfortable during the day, especially if you spend even 5 minutes outside for any reason. When you come inside 78 will feel quite cool under your ceiling fan.
For folks who don't want to drink their coffee black, erythritol and monkfruit powder make fine zero calorie substitutes. For a lot of things, actually.

Modern zero calorie sweeteners are really impressive. We've come a long way from the days of saccharine.
Could it be because of the fact they are Italians? Or are you assuming the whole world must speak the perfect English?
I won't fact check the rest, but your understanding of the lockdowns suggest a larger ignorance not worth dealing with. Lockdowns were about allowing existing hospital capacity to work as effective as possible.

They're a buffer. No more not less.

Overrunning the buffer means greater harm. Most of modern society has moved past where you seem to conceptualize social care.

The goal of the best in practice social care is harm reduction, not elimination.
Same, it sounds like a smart statement to make to garner some popular support. Though, judging by the current situation on the fronts, they probably have bigger things to worry about.
I dont understand?
Back in the mid-1980s PC world, it would have been hard to avoid at least one of the many competing One True Ways. But the majority of what became my personal ideas of good design came from Phil Burns of Northwestern University, who posted the sources for commercial-grade programs as freeware.

Pib's style was probably evolved from his time teaching programming, and was seriously old-school even then.

A) define the problem set

B) outline a solution set

C) break the solution down into logical, preferably standalone or reuseable, modules

D) write detailed interfaces between every module

E) wrap it all in a main execution loop

This not only broke what might be an overwhelmingly complex program into smaller pieces, but was practically a self-hosting test framework to start with. And being highly modular, it was suited for splitting modules across different programmers.

I've watched many-many styles go by since then, but what I learned from Pib and NWU has always worked well for me, even when programs evolved to where most of my actual "programming" was just calling outside APIs, frameworks, or classes.

Completely OT, but what does this website do? I tried to find out in the last 15 minutes and got more and more confused. Why are there only GAN-faces? Doesn't that clash with the subheader "Accountable Posts"? Or is this satire?

What music is being played to get tokens[1]? And what tokens, like blockchain-tokens? Or is it a internal server-side currency? Why is the music reversed? Why this weird combination of a music-listening website with "public soap box"?

What does "proof of music"[2] mean? Especially this part:

> With this token, you can vote for laws, elect politicians, change personalities, swap images, mate people, chat, stake, buy stuff and more. The world is constantly expanding.

... "mate" people? Like... "mating"? Does that also have another meaning I'm not aware of, like "become best friends"? And "change personalities"? What does that mean?

I'm very confused. No offense please, but is this satire or maybe an art project? ^^

American society is basically brainwashed as to what is and isn't healthy. It takes actual effort to become well informed.

So many food products are marketed as "Fat Free, Organic, High In Fiber, Heart Healthy" and so on, even though the products are just a bunch of processed low quality crap. Even beer is frequently marketed as "Low Carb". In reality, there is no reason in include any calories for alcohol in any diet where the goal is losing weight.
> Among other things, it empowers the other person to turn me into someone I don't want to be.

That's the problem, yes. Considering all input is reasonable. Giving every troll you meet power over you is not.
