Something I think that contributes a lot to how much weight you hold naturally is how insulin sensitive you are. The more insulin sensitive you are the less weight you'll put on and there's a huge range between optimal insulin sensitivity, average, and diabetic.

I also suspect (although I'm not an expert) the reason some people find it easier to lose weight while doing OMAD or keto isn't just because they're eating less, but because they're far more insulin sensitive and two of the best ways to increase insulin sensitivity is to fast or to eat less carbs.

Another reason I believe this to be the case is because as I've aged I've noticed my friends are holding more weight despite little change their diets or physical activity. I'm sure some of this is related to a slowdown in their resting metabolic rate, but I also suspect it's got something to do with the fact that as people age they become less insulin sensitive on average -- especially if they don't eat well or eat too often. This is probably why as a kid you can eat a tub of icecream without putting on any weight, but as adult you would. It's not just that kids have higher metabolisms, but that they're more insulin sensitive and less likely to be diabetic or pre-diabetic.

A question to ask here is why are people with low BMI's are less hungry? Could that be because they're metabolic healthier and their bodies are therefore better able to enter ketosis during periods without food? From personal experience with fasting and low carb diets I've experienced how significant it is when the body adjusts to burning fat as a primary fuel source. Although, you still feel hungry you don't feel like you need food. Similarly, you know when someone isn't metabolically adapted when they go too long without food because they become irritable and physically feel week.
"Let's not get nuked" isn't moralistic or insane, in my book.

A hot war between EU/NATO and Russia is not something anyone should advocate for, nor is letting Russia just take countries it wants on the edges of Europe. The current situation is a direct result of ignoring a long pattern of Russian aggression and expansionism in Georgia, Moldova, and Crimea.

This. I stopped trying to be smart-ass with such jokes because when you read things people believe in, it is disheartening.

I am not even thinking about religion or homeopathy, but even benign things they read on Internet and apply to their everyday life. Nobody (exceptions exist) checks them before adding them into their routine. It is enough that Aunt Mary said that (she is an engineer after all), or your typical celebrities gazette added it to their "Did You Know That...?" section.

Overcoming addiction sucks. If your heroin dealer is arrested, maybe it’s a good time to consider stopping heroin. Withdrawal is going to be awful at first, but after a while, you’ve overcome it and you can move ahead with a better life.
But here we're talking about giving data about the citizens to private entities in a completely different country.

I can see there being some argument for eliminating the whole idea of "classified information", but that is absolutely not what is being discussed here. This is about the private data of the people of Denmark, and keeping it private.
Yeah this is the first time cryptocurrency is being tested in an inflationary and potentially very high interest rate environment. It’s clear that it’s all just another risk asset, whose price goes up when credit/money is cheap and plentiful, and down when it’s not.

A big question is, can Bitcoin miners (and validators on other blockchains) survive? Going to get some useful empirical evidence on that question over the next few years.
Natural gas cannot be replaced by nuclear energy (or any other source of electricity) for many applications, at least not in the short term. For example here in Germany, many homes use gas boilers (heaters) for heating space and water. You would need to rebuild a lot of infrastructure to use electricity (which Germany plans to do, but obviously this will take years if not decades).
Hmm. I’d better steal that guy’s lunch before some meaner kid does it.
I eat all the time. I run hot. I also fat.

I also think BMI is not a good measurement, not just because it says I'm morbidly obese, but also because it skews in favor of those with smaller frames for their height.

Show HN: Daily Crypto Investment Game
Update: I was asked to create this as a Show HN thread rather than Ask HN. It's really a bit of both. It's far from complete and I'm looking for ideas/feedback/contributors.

As a fun side project I built a daily crypto investment game. It randomly selects five of the top 200 cryptos each day and users can compete by investing 100k (fake money) into the tokens of their choosing. The following day users can see if they made the leaderboard for both biggest gains and biggest losses as well as play again.

Site: https://cryptable.club

The site does not require email or registration to play.

I'm running out of new feature ideas but I'm not ready to let this one go. If anyone has any ideas/feedback, please let me know.

So you don't have to visit the site, current features include:

- Dark/Light Mode

- 7-day Spark graph of each currency

- Summary section showing how much you made/lost per coin

- Leaderboard showing biggest gainers/losers

- Share to social

Possible features I've considered:

- 1v1 Challenge - Allow players to challenge friends for the day. Show the results in a separate 1v1 widget showing who won and how much profit/loss they both made.

- Email daily recap. If the user chooses to register, we could email them their daily recap which would show how much they made/lost on each of the five coins.

Tech stack:

- DynamoDB

- Lambdas running NodeJS to get price updates from the CoinGecko API every ~3 minutes, also for generating the leaderboard after the cutoff time

- Vue/Vuetify for frontend

This is, unfortunately, somewhat similar to the use of "crypto" today.

"Revisionism" has been used in academic historian circles for decades and does not carry the negative connotation that is widespread today. That came later. You've got the changed meaning backwards.
atoi is a classic example of the sort of bad naming C has long been infamous for. It's not a word, it's an initialism, and the common documentation for it doesn't even say what the initialism actually means. It's relatively easy to infer what it means from the description of what it does (ascii to integer), but can easily be incorrectly inferred ([character] array to integer.)

C kind of gets a pass for this stuff because C was old and in the early days they were limited by token size. But to still be using this term today in a new language seems fairly derisible.
Same here more or less
To get some perspective why this is such a hotly debated topic - just got my heating bill for the last year - just a small 2 person flat in a small town - most flats in Germany are heated by gas one way or another - 700€/year with 5.2ct/kWh for 2021 - current market is more like 15ct/kWh and will probably rise. With the rise in rent prices in the last years this could push quite a bit of poor / lower middle class people into poverty/problems which is the majority of the population.

Furthermore gas is used in almost every chemical process in some way or another - it's difficult to just disable a single industry because the network effects are not really known.

So this will be a shitshow because industry/lobbyists groups and regulation will probably collide at the expense of the tax-payer.

Still me and all of my friends are still fine with this. There is no alternative anyway - Russia is a fascist totalitarian state that declared war against Europe and is using gas as a weapon. After reading https://osce.usmission.gov/response-to-moscow-mechanism-repo... as just as a single example I just hope we can cut off Russian gas/oil as fast as possible.

edit: Looks like I was wrong on the burning of gas for electricity: https://energy-charts.info/charts/power/chart.htm?stacking=s...

edit: Damn'it just took a quick look at the calculation of the whole house and took a wrong number it's not 1600€/year but 700€/year - still triple that and it's still a problem.
Oh there probably will be, but the timing is very much in question.
This reminds me of something Gabe Newell famously said about Steam.

> "We think there is a fundamental misconception about piracy. Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem. If a pirate offers a product anywhere in the world, 24 x 7, purchasable from the convenience of your personal computer, and the legal provider says the product is region-locked, will come to your country 3 months after the US release, and can only be purchased at a brick and mortar store, then the pirate's service is more valuable."

I'd almost never pirate a game that was available on Steam. There are games I want to play that I don't see myself playing (unless I can be bothered to pirate), just because they're on some ugly, useless, slow, cumbersome and frankly worse-than-literally-nothing "launcher". I'd rather play a game through Steam than just through an executable, but I can't say the same for literally any other launcher/game service.

The whole Ukraine/Russia conflict underscores how poor the strategic position of Europe and the US is with respect to Europe.

The question was mostly rhetorical, intending to point out that getting investment advice from a home improvement contractor is no different than getting investment advice from a software developer on Hacker News. There was an implication that, since a home improvement contractor works with his hands, he's as stupid as a shoeshine boy.

That's true, but OP did ask a question "How come...". Your answer is that the Rust ecosystem is to blame for encouraging micro-dependencies, like Node.js, and not the author. I think that's a pretty reasonable take! But it doesn't mean that there's not a problem.

The research I've seen "debunking" this have failed to start with people capable of HIIT, failed to prove they are going anaerobic, or failed to strictly follow the "Tabata interval" regime that was originally proven to work.

https://www.elevaterope.com/tabata-intervals/

When I originally came across Tabata in mid 2000s, nobody said it worked for BMI adjustment. The research was around whether you had to exercise for hours to build endurance. It was reasonably conclusive you could build endurance using this mechanism. The contemporary research suggested the endurance came from different metabolic processes becoming accessible, and that Tabata style HIIT kicked that in.
Not sure why, but the fever thing is special I think. A common symptom of the flu is chills even though your body is at scorching temps.

I "run hot" as my partner says. She'll touch my arm and it boggles her mind how hot I feel. I have to keep my room at 67F at night or I can't even use blankets. My sleep suffers from how hot I run.

I don't feel cold in the least.

I agree, at least turbines have relatively small footprints. Tearing up farmland for solar would be a disaster, imo.

Increasing insulation and installing and building more heat pumps are obvious ways to save on gas. Italy used some big EU subsidies to pay 100% of people's home and house renovations. Would something like that be possible in Germany? 50% subsidy for insulation renovation. Run all the styrofoam, rock wool and glass wool factories nonstop in three shifts. Found new heat pump factories. Train employees.
The operative word was "couldn't". If they didn't eat as much, they could lose weight

I really hope that in the (near) future we figure out a system of governance to better resolve inter-national conflict. I assume these conflicts will only increase as we increasingly interact across national borders.
I can only reliably lose weight when I increase my level of exercise. If that weight loss is 100%, I suspect it breaks down as:

* +40% - weight loss from burning more calories

* -20% - weight gain from eating more due to doing more sport

* +40% - less snacking from being away from food sources for more hours

* +20% - being more conscious of fitness and weight and being more disciplined about food
For decades Sichuan pepper was loosely banned then required to be heated to import in to the US (and likely other countries) because of a fear of citrus canker and the heat killed the numbing chemical. That has changed but you still need properly prepared and relatively fresh husks to get the effect. I've eaten Sichuan food my entire life but never had anything numbing until I went to China.
It’s a funny thing I’ve noticed about scripting languages: they’re generally easier to get going with yourself, but they’re horrible for distribution/deployment, and if you have to integrate code written in other languages (even C libraries with Python bindings, or similar—things like wxWidgets or GTK), that rapidly escalates to a nightmare. Meanwhile, ahead-of-time compiled languages like Rust and Go are simply a breeze to distribute/deploy.
> couldn't lose weight ... they were also eating a lot

So really it's that they weren't losing weight because they were eating too much... exactly like most people in modern western society. And really the moderate amount of cycling was irrelevant.
They deny this. I suspect we will know soon. If they really go against their word, drones are hard to hide.

I'm not recommending to have a nuclear war over who gets to collect vodka taxes in some East European town. I am pointing out that these people let moral foreign policy run their entire trade block and foreign policy choices, and not a cold rational calculus of any kind. All the self-sanctions have come to nothing: they have not and will not materially affect the end result of the war.

They've made me, as a citizen in an EU country, pay out of my nose for their moral betterness though, when we are not even a party to the war.
an elaboration.
Lots of thin people look good and thin wearing clothes, but if you could see their body you'd find they are mostly made of flab anyway. Colloquially referred to as skinny fat. Very little muscle.

You can't easily discount culture and habit, nor can you easily account for it in studies. Cross-country comparisons are often surprising, but even then they blur within-country heterogeneity (is $country fatter on average/mode, or does it have a looooooong tail on account of a slightly higher rate of rare genetics?)
There is nothing about security - a goto platform of sorts.
There are solutions, just unpopular and require a political class that is not fickle and weak.

Solution #1. Capitulate to Putin and treat Russia as a regional power that can gobble and punish its neighbors when they stray too far.

Solution #2. Forget about the climate for the next 5 years, turn on all coal, nuclear powerplants.

Solution #3. Put the Euro printer in overdrive and pay whatever price needed for the little natural gas that's out there and the expense of transportation.

#3 is probably the worst, but also - the easiest for a fickle and weak political class to do. So, that's what's happening.

Won't be surprised if we get hyperinflation in the EU in the winter. The ECB barely functions in good times with its one monetary policy, but different budgets nonsense.

Did you ever try fasting for an extended period of time during any of that? I've never gone more than ~48 hours but from what I've watched and read, people seem to stop feeling hungry after say four or five days. I wonder if that could maybe act as a sort of hard reset for the constant feeling of hunger you experienced.
Title is a bit misleading "talking about pay" makes it sound like talking about her pay with other workers (very clearly a labor law violation). The actual event was for asking management about getting holiday pay. I don't know where the law stands on that.
Republicans have centrists too, that isn't unique to one party. Representatives will generally take on the ideological positions of those they represent, and the fact is West Virginia is nothing like California so we shouldn't expect the representatives to be the same ideologically.
Is there a difference between the kind of gas used in power plants and the kind for residential use? If not, couldn't nuclear plants reduce the need for gas in power plants, allowing that gas to go to heating homes instead?

I know that this wasn't the main point of your post, but palm oil production has actually become substantially more defensible in the past decade (i.e. deforestation and worker exploitation are by far the exception instead of the rule).

All that to say that the moral thing to do might change with time.
So I basically have two concerns with that:

1. A much bigger issue is NTSC composite. Making it look like a CRT is a much smaller part of the picture than what NTSC composite effects do. For example, If you were to hook up the RGB headers on an SNES (yes, the SNES has RGB headers on the board) to an actual CRT it would look awful because SNES games were designed with NTSC blending effects in mind.

2. There are scanlines and there are good scanlines. Most artificial scanlines look like garbage and not at all like an actual CRT's scanlines. There are some good filters out there, but you really have to do your research. If you see the words "slot mask" used to describe the filter, it's probably good. This is one of the reasons I'm a fan of the CRT-Royale reshade filter, because it does an excellent job at emulating the look of a slot mask.
We tend to underestimate how complex even pre Bronze Age kingdoms were. To rule them, our ancestors came up with an intricate way to let different combinations of symbols represent abstract thoughts.
That sounds like Raynaud's.
Historical memory is politics. History is fully embedded in the past.
Sichuan peppers are also not spicy at all. They have an intense herbal/mineral/fruity flavor that's hard to find comparisons for but it is nothing like the "heat" you get from any other foods considered hot like chili pepper, black pepper, ginger, raw garlic, etc.
