Obesity is a separate morbidity. 30% of obese Americans are not actually ill. But 40% of non-obese Americans are sick with metabolic syndrome. So, more than are obese and sick, by the raw numbers. Obesity is a big problem in the US, but metabolic syndrome is a bigger problem, and suffering both is worse than either alone.

Pakistan has as much metabolic syndrome as other former UK colonies, but remarkably little obesity.

Metabolic syndrome is a product of excess fructose in the bloodstream, itself a product of sugar consumed without enough accompanying fiber. Beverages are a particularly concentrated source, but other stuff packaged as food can be as bad.
Can host which is not properly set up slow down the WP?

In the past year, every WP website my company did became too slow, even I noticed it when using admin panel for adding new features, I mean it's barely usable, constantly throwing 404 errors.

Also, the clients started complaining heavily, but I'm unable to come up with the solution since on test server everything works perfectly. I also had some suspicious that's because of the bad host, because it effects every project done with WP, but the company owner claims differently since he's 'really good' at working with servers.

Same, I did an install with OpenSUSE Tumbleweed and the latest KDE desktop environment with all optional packages and goodies, and after a fresh boot into KDE with Konsole opened, the RAM consumption was from 580MB to under 760MB, similar to XFCE.

I don't know how the author got those huge numbers but I fell like something is off with his FreeBSD installation/configuration and is skewing the results.

I'd take those results with a huge boulder of salt.

Python is great because you can make it as OOP as you want, or avoid objects all together.

You can make it strongly typed with type hints and MyPy type checking, or you can avoid it all together.

You can do imperative programming, or functional.

And best part, you can do all of that in one code base depending on what the use case is. And the debugger is great.

Quoting from that article:

> However, skilled immigrating workers can bring capabilities that are not available in the native workforce, for example in academic research or information technology. Additionally, immigrating workforces also create new jobs by expanding demand, thus creating more jobs, either directly by setting up businesses (therefore requiring local services or workers), or indirectly by raising consumption. As an example, a greater population that eats more groceries will increase demand from shops, which will therefore require additional shop staff.

If that's the "fallacy" then it's not much of a rebuttal. The UK has an immigration system that allows in quite easily the kind of people who do academic research and information technology. How that has any relevance to low paid workers in far more precarious professions (or no profession at all) who have to compete with low skilled immigrants who are unlikely to know their rights, thus pressuring conditions downwards, who are likely to find the low pay better than they could get back home (or worse, taking lower pay out of necessity because of their illegal immigration status) which again, pressures downwards the pay levels, you'll have to explain.

One of my friends is from a Baltic state and wasn't claiming for money she should've been paid, which suited her employer just fine (this story[1] turned up a week after I learned about this, about her industry and mirrored her situation) - do you think there was a reason my friend said all her colleagues were foreigners? I'll give you the two best reasons I think for that:

a) The company wanted to hire foreigners because it would be easier to scam them out of money and rights

b) Locals would be less inclined to put up with that kind of nonsense

How is any of this helpful to a country, the locals, or the immigrants?

A blockchain is relevant in cases where there needs to be an actual chain. But in any case, you're focusing too narrowly here. Instead of honing in to try to disprove that a given technology is the proper solution, it's smarter to try to understand what happens when such a solution is widely deployed, and what pre-conditions are present today to help predict if, when, and how it will happen. Regardless, Bitcoin-like blockchains are already dated technology even within the cryptocurrency space.

I seriously hope this doesn't catch on.

For cars with internal combustion engines, the company tends to get constant income via service thanks oil filters, other filters, and a whole bunch of stuff that needs to be replaced (assuming people take it to authorised service centers, which I assume most people do when the car is relatively new).

With the transition to EV, those avenues dry up because EVs need lesser maintenance (as per my understanding).

So, are they trying to create new recurring income sources due to the possibility of existing such incomes drying up?

Social media addiction isn't "bad" unless you are spending time on social media that you should be spending doing other things, like your job, spending time with family, exercising, e.t.c, or its measurably making your mental health worse. If you are full-filling all your regular obligations, and rather spend your free time browsing SM, there is nothing really wrong with that.

That being said, its of the utmost importance to realize that most of the stuff you read on SM is fiction, until strongly proven otherwise. And arguing what is right/wrong in fiction is a pointless exercise.

I could probably sell it for $18-20k today. (Four-door,five seatbelts with tons of leg room.) But you're right that it wouldn't make sense for apartment dwellers. And that counts a lot of people out.

> I was talking about video quality, not that other stuff.

I covered video quality too

> This is actually significantly worse now, since most households lack the ability to "tape" anything.

It’s definitely not worse now. Or at least not in the U.K. Regular broadcasters all have on demand / catch up services (like BBC iPlayer). These services are neatly integrated into nearly all smart TVs via Freeview Play and have been for roughly a decade already.

Then you have purely streamed content that has all of the benefits of the above minus the drawbacks of following a TV schedule. Which is great because the 30 to 50 year olds (yes, I actually know these figures because I’ve worked in broadcasting) generally prefer binge watching content rather than weekly instalments.

Then you have younger generations who prefer streamed content like Twitch and YouTube. Both of which also support rewatching previously live content.

In addition to all that, for households that don’t have good internet, there are still PVRs available free with premium subscription TV like Sky+/Q. And just to be clear, you absolutely do not need a Sky subscription to use a PVR. My mum has one hooked up and she only has access to terrestrial TV (Freeview). Some TVs even have PVR software built in and all thus you need is to plug a USB storage device into in.

Finally, for us nerds, there are a plethora of additional options available like Kodi, Plex, AppleTV plus convenience protocols like DLNA, ChromeCast, AirPlay, etc.

It has literally never been easier to consume video content and catch up on missed TV. And the fact that terrestrial TV viewing figures are dropping rapidly (again, I’ve worked in the industry so have seen the actual statistics on these things) is proof that people are choosing to consume TV in different ways then they did back in the days of VHS. (And there’s literally nothing stopping anyone from still using VHS if they really wanted to).
I personally don't have issues with languages that have incomparable values, just with languages that have a generic equality and incomparable values.

If every type has it's own equality operation (e.g. Number.eq) then I have no issue with it being weird in unexpected types (e.g. Number.eq(NULL, NULL) =false)

For example in JavaScript almost every use of === should be replaced by Object.is.

The comment you're responding to tells you why it shouldn't be banned: because then it will be held by criminals (by definition) instead.

matter is energy and energy is matter. the false vacuum state is where the energy comes from (which is at every point in space-time). even in the universe right now the vacuum expectation value of any field is nonzero since virtual particles are being created and destroyed spontaneously at every point. the false vacuum is similar. when the symmetry is broken that energy is released everywhere.

since energy is matter i assume that means that the energy really is "stored" in a quantum field, so a particle of some sort. the vacuum expectation value of that particle must be large, so that when symmetry is broken those virtual particles decay and create the shower of matter and energy which drives inflation.

Thats news to me
Spite? He signed a legal agreement to buy Twitter or pay $1B to cancel the deal or at least that's the amount I've read was in the contract. Elon was given the opportunity to investigate any concerns he had before he agreed to buy Twitter, just like with any corporate acquisition, but for some inexplicable reason waived due diligence and signed anyways. He had the opportunity but gave it up. Don't know why, seems incredibly reckless for a deal of this size but he did. Then after the fact he claimed he wasn't given data on the number of bot accounts even though he waived his right and could have requested all this data beforehand. Even still Twitter complied.

Now Elon is claiming that still isn't enough data? The data is inaccurate? I'm not exactly sure what's he claiming, it all seems vague. But whatever the reason, Elon is claiming it's somehow in violation of the contract in order to walk away from the deal without having to pay the agreed fines. In what other situation could you do something like that? If you signed a contract to buy a house as-is after waiving your right to inspect it, well guess what? You just bought that house regardless of how you feel about it. If you agreed to pay fines that allowed you to back out of the contract after the fact then you owe that money. That's just the way contracts work. Why wouldn't Twitter sue?
