I have been turned down for a half dozen grants in AD research I think could impact millions of lives, and see them funding bs and no impact projects.

Are there still people on "wholesale" billing plans since Griddy blew up last year?
Two things to know as well. WIC only pays for certain sizes for formula[0] purchased at retail because they're afraid that poor women will stock up on formula or resell it. Also women have to pay part of the cost of the formula for the same reason.

Project Warp Speed was originally proposed by non-political civil servants and then approved by the Republican administration. It was one of several proposals to deal with the pandemic. Most of the others (such as a plan to provide masks for all Americans) were rejected, for better or worse.

IMHO, the civil servants that do the work of government don't get enough credit. Without them, our elected officials wouldn't have options.
I don't have much use for KDE Connect currently but I've used it in the past. It can be quite handy. It was very useful for replying to text messages when my phone wasn't around, for example.

I do like to see KDE software propagating outside of the KDE world (KHTML is a great example of that).
I've lost a lot of weight before and obese -> overweight was relatively straightforward but I find getting from overweight to 'normal' weight a challenge. I've done it before with pretty austere fasting (many multi-day water fasts) but to loose some pandemic pounds I'm trying a more conventional wegightlifting+cardio+deficit to try and preserve more muscle. Even with a fitbit reporting I'm burning 3200+ calories a day and running a supposed 1-2lb/week deficit and I'm still pretty much plateauing. I'm at like 40%p/35%c/25f% macro split - higher protein is at least good for satiety.

This article tries to dismiss metabolism but I think it's actually a hugely important factor. Your body is a magical machine that has a huge capability to adjust energy spend so you need to extract the most fat-burn out of each % deficit as possible. So optimally have to start at a 'bulking' surplus for a few weeks and then slowly nudge the nose down until you plateau and only then nudge further. If you just immediately go to -2lb a week or whatever you lose initially but after a few weeks invariably adapt and then you're kinda screwed, going further starts to get pretty bleak.
I hope this supports Shortcuts, that would make it even more awesome.

I have Shortcuts on my iPhone that issue commands over ssh and perform HTTP uploads and requests (works out of the box on both iOS and macOS), but if I could send e.g. results to a non-Airdrop desktop or would be even better.
> If it is available in any quantity then needing a prescription keeps it from being used for infants that don't need it.

Ah, I didn't realize you meant waving a fiat wand so that everyone had to get a prescription for it.

If that were the case, then I imagine we could do the same with bottled water, gluten free grains, alcohol, vitamin supplements, coffee, CBD, and more, and solve so many problems!

Alas, the FDA has certain authority over drugs, and certain authority over food. It does not have the same authority over both, and infant formula is a food, not a drug.
You ignore that AT4 is fired at the main armor, while drone dropped munitions hit the top armor that is just a few centimeters. The impact point makes all the difference.
Or gas loyalty discounts, or really anywhere you need a throw away phone number. It just works. And if you have to deal with a human, especially one over 40 years old, you might get a wry smile, a wink, or even a chuckle.
Ironically, on the same page, "Tokay is inspired by awk, but follows its own philosophy and design principles. It might also serve as a general purpose scripting language, but it mainly focuses on processing textual input and work on trees with information extracted from this input."

And, "If you like awk and sed, you should take a look into Tokay ...."

So it "focuses on processing textual input" (sounds like awk), but it's "not intended ... to be a replacement for awk". It "might serve as a general purpose scripting language", but it's not "intended to be a general purpose programming language." If you like awk, you might should ...

Oh, I give up!
Although the linked article does not address it, the FDA is certainly working to mitigate any fallout from the plant closure. Much of the complexity is that WIC is administrated at the state level, so the FDA must work with each state individually to address the shortage.

Of particular note:
>more infant formula has been produced in the last four weeks than in the four weeks that preceded the recall, despite one of the largest infant formula production facilities in the country being offline during that time.

> But you don't need to pick a team with all the tribalism that's involved.

Sometimes labels are just easier than a "wishy-washy" "yeah I'll do something in that general direction". That doesn't need to involve tribalism; pretty much all vegan and keto people I know are fairly pragmatic about it.
Cryptocurrency was a massive asset bubble two weeks ago. Also a year ago.

But if anyone took the time to read about the history of tech startups and the culture around them over the last 50-ish years, or ECNs over the last 25-ish years: it would become immediately apparent that there is nothing new here!

Most of “crypto” circa 2022 will wash out. Most of it is tulip-mania bullshit. And in fact, the well-traveled chestnuts (e.g. “when your shoe-shine boy starts asking for stock tips, hold, when he starts giving them: sell”) date from the last time the robber/renter class kicked out this many rungs on the prosperity ladder and tried to paper it over with expensive bonds. As a society: been there, done that.

But there is true innovation hiding in little corners: Parity has figured out how to roll an update to every nginx box in the world as the price of serving a web page via WASM! That would be huge news in any other context. And I wouldn’t count the IO-HK people out just yet on beating dumbass Algorand PBFT.

But just so the ground rules are clear: you want some inflation. Just ask the guy who bought a pizza for 1BTC in like 2013 or whatever. We used to kill each other and try to enslave continents over a limited supply of gold. The Spanish were especially good at this. Look at them now.

If your roll is maintaining or increasing in value you have no incentive to back some profitable venture with it.

Inflation out of control is a problem. Deflation is knights with swords fighting over mud.

God I wish people read books.
I absolutely love Sneakers, but I think you're writing Hackers off too easily - my experience is that it's widely loved within the infosec community, not because it's accurate in any way (it is extremely obviously not) but because it captures what people want hacking to be.

The slight bias against Canadian shows is that if they have Canadian-specific content (e.g. city, backstories, characters) that are an important part of the story, then the larger American audience will be much less likely to find it interesting.

The inverse is not true however -- the article is correct that Canadians are exposed to (almost too) much American content from an early age, leading to the Canadian Radio-Television & Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)[1] to adopt (read: mandate) minimum ratios for Canadian-specific content to be aired.[2]

Then the parties injured can bring claims with the actual damages in hand. If the courts get clogged with such cases, we’ll have the evidence with which to legislate.

It is arbitrary. But he worked really slow. And it stood out to me that someone who claimed to have been doing this for years wouldn’t have muscle memory yet. It was one of the things that made me think he had lied on his resume, but I didn’t judge him for it until he had undeniably proved that he wasn’t going to be productive.
I have friend who was at nursing school, and she'd get them prescribed for the few occasions where she had to do a presentation, as she would get extremely nervous. She never took them after. Maybe she could've addressed the issue differently, but it worked for her, and she never got hooked. But milage varies, and so on. She also told me that at the hospital, benzos are readily available and they kinda hand then out like candy to manage patients (there doesn't seem to be any rigorous bookkeeping about them).

I also tried a few many years ago, but they didn't really do anything for me. I think they only work if you got anxiety or something, so some underlying issue which -if chronic- is probably not a good fit. Never had any cravings since.
I've done ketosis for 5 years, and now on and off for 2 years later. I had a full blood lipid panel done and it went well.

Some supplements are basically unregulated medications.

I found out the hard way that L-Theanine does not mix well with bipolar disorder. I suspect it inactivated the mood stabilizer I was on.
My family was addicted to benzos by a quack doctor who hands them out like candy. He has many seniors on it long term for "anxiety" and though seniors are at particular risk and are not supposed to use more than 6 months.
I have the exact same experience with hunger. I’m only “hungry” for 10-15ish minutes max before the feeling disappears and the next time I eat is also to stave off the physical weakness.

I put “hungry” in quotes because what my overweight friends describe as feeling hungry I have only felt under the influence of marijuana, and what I describe as hungry is what they feel like all day other than right after a meal.

I haven’t found any literature on what drives human appetite that seemed non quackery science, but I’d be very intrigued whenever someone figures out what causes these different experiences

Tasks are all handled as the same kind of object, but I'm going to call any task with a subtask a "project," and any task without any subtasks just a "task."

The way I would do this would be to basically treat "move the container" as a project and "empty container" as the first sequential subtask.

If you have:
- Move container (sequential)
|
--Empty container

empty container will show up in the "Next" list because it's the "first" (only) subtask in the project. As soon as it's completed, the parent task, "Move container" will automatically show up on "Next" because it's now a task in its own right, not a project with subtasks.

This matches my intuitive way of thinking about how tasks relate to each other (do the parts, and when the last part is done, complete the project), but it's not done by naming something a "blocking" task.

Edited to add: I've not tried using it collaboratively, but I don't think that functionality exists. GQueues might be a better fit for that.
> One extra piece of cake a week

So… I was never predisposed to put on weight, but as I got older I got less and less fit than I used to be. My doctor told me my cholesterol and triglycerides were up and suggested that I just stop eating desserts and candy entirely. It seemed impossible when he suggested it, but I’ve been able to stick to it for almost two decades now. When I made the decision that I just wasn’t going to have any more desserts, ever, it was much easier than it seemed it was going to be.

Yeah for this reason a mix of cardio and weight training is essential. Or at least time your runs. When I eat poorly I can still do my usual 5K with no trouble, and I often don’t even feel any slower, but the timer doesn’t lie…
To begin with, getting rid of land ceiling laws which results in farmer suicides (but that’s not the reason why it should be removed, they should be removed because they make agriculture very inefficient by putting an artificial limit on how much land a farmer can own).

A few ideas at random:

- could be neat to have the ability to send OSC (i.e. send the same values that you're using to generate the music i.e. limb position / angle / velocity, etc.) so that computer-based synths, video softwares, Max MSP, etc. could ingest it in real time as well

- it would be fun to have different synth "presets" or "patches" which connect limb movement to different parts of the audio generator -- i.e. connect right arm with LFO rather than the oscillator pitch for instance

- just curious, does it support multiple dancers?
An excellent film, should be part of any computer science curriculum or at least some homework. Never noticed or knew that Hollywood went into such details with the "Easter eggs" back then so next time watching it will look out for them.

As also mentioned here, its up there with War Games, Tron and The Lawn Mower Man when considering the biological & chemical knowledge we have at our fingertips today.
That's almost certainly psychosomatic. The sugars in the two are basically identical, and the creamer presumably has some fat in it, which would actually make it have a lower glycemic index (meaning the crash would be slower with the creamer).

This is mostly what the article calls the "halo effect". People assume that "natural" things are lower calorie or healthier, which is sometimes the case, but fructose is fructose. It doesn't really matter if it's from corn or honey. Honey arguably has another couple marginal benefits, but it's absolutely not useful in losing weight. It's something like 90% sugar by weight.

What I'd actually suspect is something closer to: all diets work. Almost every fad diet works, even when they're completely counter to nutritional science because the simple act of paying attention to what you eat has positive effects.
I found it really useful to cycle single doses between 5mg/10mg and ocasionally skip it entirely, when I know it wouldn't be essential. (Usually the skip sorts itself out when I forget I have them. You'd think lingering processing deficiencies would be obvious enough to remind me, but apparently not.)

I've been avoiding higher doses because this setup works well enough that I don't want to disrupt the status quo and I keep hearing from friends that build a dependence and even one who went off them entirely after adverse reactions on very high doses.

Fortunately I have a doctor who agreed this was a good idea and writes me prescriptions for different strengths.

> the term “America” has drifted in meaning over time to colloquially refer to the USA.

Only in English speaking and non-American countries.

All of the Spanish speaking American countries are happy to call what everyone else calls "americans" "united-stateans", i.e. "estadounidense" in Spanish. Because of course it's stupid to call gringos "american", when the entire continent is called America.

This is also happening to Europe, in a lesser extent (for 2 reasons, first of which is that the EU isn't a country, and the 2nd is that most of European countries are in the EU). "European" is more often used to refer to an inhabitant of the European Union than it's used to refer to an inhabitant of Europe, the continent.

> This is just a terrible, terrible argument, that leads to a continual ratcheting up and broadening of the definition of "transphobia".

I don’t follow. While people not understanding racism is a very real phenomenon caused by the fact that white people in the USA are the dominant group and considered “raceless” and the “default” while non white people get all kinds of subtle discrimination regularly. It makes sense that non white people would be better judges of racism than many white people. Why would this not also make sense for trans people?
I'm not sure that was the intention or not, but from my perspective, your experience reinforces that people are still quite cheap.

What's really hard is building a product/service that solves a big enough problem, is marketable and you can sell.

If you don't have those skills, it's quite expensive to develop them. Way more expensive than salaries, even well paid engineers.
Well you obviously don't issue metrics queries over arbitrarily large datasets, right? The Prometheus architecture reflects this invariant. You constrain queries against both time and domain boundaries.

The McDonald's Theory - https://jonbell.medium.com/mcdonalds-theory-9216e1c9da7d
Yes I need to seriously try low-carb.

BTW, I have (controlled) hypertension, (controlled) high cholesterol, high triglycerides, low HDLs, and a large beer belly gut (just like my dad, but unlike my brother)... but I have hba1c on the low end and high insulin sensitivity. Doctors used to insist I was on the path to diabetes (25 years ago), but now they are mystified. I chalk it up in part to fasting and drinking a lot of coffee, and my revulsion towards sweet tasting food (I love fat, starch and salt... but not sweet).

So I have a lot of doubt about insulin-related explanations given my well controlled blood sugar. But I still think hyper low-carb might work.

As an aside, long-distance running works to a limited extent. I drop weight without trying and my hunger does not increase. Other forms of burning calories, however (e.g. bicycling), have not had the same effect.

Amazingly potent. I considered finding applications for it, but alas, I had no use for it.

This is evil shit you’re saying (I’m being a bit dramatic, sure). Healthcare is made more expensive by all these rules about IT. Life or death depends on keeping costs down and making it seamless for doctors to share information with one another. It isn’t some catastrophe if a breach happens. They’ve happened before, yet people have not been getting their private health information published in the local newspaper.

The case for consolidation
Certainly, yes! I am sorry if I didn't make that clear. Not only should you actually be in love/want to marry to avoid fraud but also for your own well-being.

The United States has an adult population of 258.3 million, so it's likely you'd find someone to fall in love with if you're really looking.

I have some experience here, I have a double digit amount of family members who came to the US to marry into my family, including my brother-in-law. With one exception they are all very happy marriages, the longest lasting 3 decades. There were some who were definitely were looking to marry Americans to immigrate, but the relationship is still real.
