I misremembered, it wasn't during an election it was actually when we heard about the initial voting about chatcontrol, or one of the encryption breaking propsals that preceded it.

Either way, yes I was able to just call their office numbers listed on their websites and get through. I also in some cases got personal replies to my e-mails from individual MEPs.

If you call their office most likely someone else will answer the phone but in some cases, if you're lucky, you can just ask if the MEP is available.
My mnemonic is that the parentheses are a following sidenote that can always be skipped by the reader in normal writing. The hyperlink to follow for more information is the parenthetical.

Then the brackets are literally bracketing the text that should be styled as a hyperlink.

I don't think 10% body fat is going to be achieved through self-regulation/calorie cutting alone.

10% body fat is an EXTREMELY low %. I don't think that is realistic for most people outside very athletic folks. Reducing to 10% body fat requires a significant change in diet, not just reducing consumption, but actively changing your macro mix AND keeping a fairly strict regimen of strength training and cardio to keep the fat off.

I think losing weight as most folks (including yourself I think) agree with is reduction of calories. Then optimization of calories / lifestyle / workout regimen seem to be the next areas.
At least when they give themselves the time to be concerned with privacy. They played data privacy extremely fast and loose during Covid response.

> It basically rains in winter, and does not rain in summer. Like, at all.

You needn't have moved so far from southern Germany to experience that! Lack of rain in the summer is a defining characteristic of the Mediterranean climate. You would have experienced the same a few hundred miles south. :-)
I loved reading the article! How the body breaks down food into energy. Looking at life as energetic electrons finding a place to rest. I got goosebumps reading about mitochondrial membranes producing electric fields akin to lightning waiting to strike. The clockwork machinations of the human body as it breaks down complex organic matter into protons and electrons restless for a reunion, and then into a common currency of energy.

I have a disinterested high-schooler's understanding of biology. My field is electricity and physics and computers. So seeing this complex process explained thus was very, very engaging. Very well done!

Also, using metabolism to explain cancer was very enlightening.
The only answer to this is lowering overall bodyfat percentage. Each individual is predisposed to store fat in different areas across their body.
A friend of mine in Spain bought a masia, but was not allowed to tear down the old building to build a new house (protected heritage or something, even though it was junk). So the way around it was to do it in steps. Replace it whole building part by part. So now he has a new house (but it looks like the old one in shape), but there's nothing left of the original.

> It’s political. When will we learn?

Since most of academia is liberal, aren't practically all the byproducts of that sphere inherently majorly biased? And no, the Stephen Colbert "reality has a liberal bias" line is a cheap and slimy holier-than-thou cop-out. If we use any of the standards that left-leaning people cleaved to for the entire pandemic and even before, i.e. how society is systemically (evil from) X or Y, how is that the most powerful institutions completely ignore their own flagrant systemic bias?

Shakespeare had no lawyers, and that's kinda why we ended up with this system. Shakespeare's work was regularly published without him getting a penny in royalties. He himself never got anything for his plays except what his theater paid him.

The official Folio edition was published after he was dead. The quarto editions made during his lifetime are riddled with errors because they were made from people's memories of his plays, not the manuscripts. The manuscripts were kept carefully guarded, and the actors given only "sides" containing their own lines to prevent them from running off and selling them.

Actually, Shakespeare did have lawyers; much of what we know about him comes from legal documents. (Including lawsuits. He was kind of a litigious bugger.) But he didn't have lawyers to protect his works because there wasn't any such thing. And it was precisely that which caused the copyright system to be created.
Let me commend you on this effort. I would definitely consider using it in a situation where markdown did not suffice. It does require nim and nimble to be installed but that doesn't bother me.

If you re-invent the wheel and try to use it as a component of a more complex system, by far the most likely outcome is that you'll discover that your novel wheel has some interesting failure modes that you hadn't considered.

Hence, if you need a simple database for your desktop application, using sqlite is a better option than trying to cobble together something similar using your own special hash tables and b-trees. However, trying to do the latter will certainly help you understand a quite a bit about database architecture.

However, many people who say 'don't re-invent the wheel' are really saying 'you're just a worker bee and so you don't need to know anything more than how to operate this here machine' - and that's a trap, as you're then not developing your skills and knowledge to a higher level.

> I switched to my first iPhone last year and for me the determining factor was not feeling I had to constantly be on the upgrade path. I've has my iPhone SE (2020) and haven't been happier with a phone.

Indeed. I am on my fourth iPhone, an 11 pro now three years old that I expect to keep for at least another year. More would be nice, but that probably requires a battery change. I had my two previous phones for four years each, no problem. I really don’t understand people who just have to get a new phone ever year or two (or three)!

To expand on the hivemind, it was pushed by an Apple-sponsored tech blogger while Apple was continuing their push to market their laptops to frontend web developers. A bunch of Apple laptop developers then started embedding it although the spec had weird issues. The best substitute was Asciidoc, and it also made a few strange choices and is nearly too complex to justify using over HTML. So, with no good light alternative, Markdown won.

They should make the global Twitter read-only + opt-in with warnings, and allow EU to have their own EU arena with real identities tied to users (and restrict children to EU-only space). Then give regulators the direct controls to censor tweets within the EU arena as they see fit and let regulators make the decision of how to shut-off global valve if they want.

A form of this system already exists on German Reddit, I believe.

The tech-savvy can continue to use a VPN as usual.
Sir, lawyers identify the possibly loopholes to lobby into, write the laws that are lobbied, and work the loopholes that exist.

They are 100% culpable at every step. They do it for money, and the broad culture is one of scoffing at ethics or honesty, which are seen as weaknesses.

Guns aren't conscious. Lawyers are (at least on some level).
Yes, this was a "test the waters" type of post, and I will be elaborating on my ideas.

If we're at the inflection point of changes in how we work, which I think the explosion of remote work may suggest, then we have to completely reconsider what we "know" about work.

So, to answer your question, "how?"

We need to question every current assumption about work. The system is currently in a malleable state, but that won't last. More questioning assumptions, means more experiments, means more developments.

I have my hypotheses, and I'm working on those experiments. I hope to bring together more people that are interested in the same.

This is pretty much exactly how I feel - the camera you have with you all the time is better than a better camera that may be sitting on the shelf at home when you want to take a picture. That said, for vacations and stuff is where I really miss having a really nice camera, and while the phone does ok, there are shots I have that I can see where a better camera would have made it that much better.
Riiiiiight
Looks very much web-based, and not cleaned properly. I conclude that because digits are pretty rare in a normal corpus, much rarer than x and y. The English list also has some punctuation included, and half of the Greek alphabet. The counting didn't exclude proper names and formulas, I suppose. So if you want to identify the domain of a Wikipedia page based on 1-grams, this is helpful; otherwise, less so.
You don't and if Twitter does the same they wouldn't have to check either.

Probably everybody operating a website is in violation of a law somehwere around the globe.

If you want to sell to European customers you will find that (depending on your size and business) you will have to comply with some laws in order to continue in this Market.

The bigger your business the more rules and at a certain size laws will be created to regulate you in particular. This is what Twitter and friends face.
The answer to this can be easily found online, so I'll just

There is a nuanced point to be made for Xi's alleged concern for the welfare of ordinary folk rather than the elite, but that's not it.

If you're feeling generous toward the world's most powerful autocrat, you can extend the benefit of the doubt that perhaps Xi's policies may turn out to benefit China's poorest and the ecology. But there is no doubt that Xi's anti-vax zero-covid policy has inflicted significant damage to the economy of China's middle class.

Xi has also consolidated political power for himself without setting up any form of succession. He's overseen construction of the most advanced surveillance society that has ever existed. The Chinese people enjoy less freedom now than they did twenty years ago. Maybe history will prove him right, but the historical record for these policies aren't encouraging for China.
I have similar but not so extreme inclinations towards fan noise. I settled to build my desktop with a simple NZXT case, intel 8th gen CPU running Arch Linux with CPU governor set to Performance. The pSU is an ATX power supply that is rated for 750W, while I could barely get to half that with full load(which means PSU’s fans almost never need to spin up). The CPU is cooled by an oversized NH D-15 Noctua air cooler with two 15” fans that are set in BIOS to only spin up when temps get quite high(which never does unless I run synthetic benchmarks).

I have been so happy about this system that I almost never talk about it. It is a tool that does its job well to my needs and gets out of the way.
Short answer? Very.
>We manage several storage servers which see intensive usage, and usually at around 5 years we start to see disk failures.

Which begs the question of how old the drives actually are. If intensive usage would result in lots of disk failures after 5 years, then a 9-year-old server would surely have a bunch of new(er) disks inside it? Or do they just reduce the amount of cache space they have with every failure?
Why don't we have a public domain standard to discuss colors the same way?

I started with Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (by Norvig). I know it has nothing to do with the current trends of machine generated images and videos based on textual input... but I don't care.

Why do you think we don't have ATP running in the bloodstream instead of requiring each cell to produce it's own ATP?

As in, why don't we have an "energy organ" which runs the Krebs cycle and outputs ATP for the whole body?

Removing the Krebs cycle from each cell would be a ultra-fundamental change, so hard to evolve, but adding the ability to supplement ATP from the bloodstream seems doable.
The general impression, which I haven't really seen challenged, is that these lab employees take precautions while in the lab, or maybe while leaving the building. I think the default sensible stance is that they're not sufficient, now that we've seen how the world is capable of reacting to an outbreak.
I don't see any of these comments. Could it be that you are disingenious? pro-EU sentiments seem to attract the biggest turds. I say this as an unfortunate member of our bureaucratic european union.

Seing how freedom is a human construct, it makes sense only in context of the human condition. So treating it as something separate from outcomes for people isn't helpful.
Yeah, compatibility for x86 is much better. If you want a cheap fanless sbc-style setup then the best options today are likely Celeron N5105 or Pentium N6005 based systems (e.g. MeLE Quieter3 or Odroid-H3+). They are around $300 and far more performant and much better connectivity (i.e. they have 8x PCIe-3 lanes) vs similarly priced ARM systems.

The closest ARM systems in price and performance are the new RK3588 based ones like the Khadas Edge 2 or ROCK 5B, but those really are only practical if you really need the NPU and MIPI camera inputs they provide. They carry only a minor power efficiency edge (max draw around 12W vs maybe 18W for the x86 boards), are compromised in software compatibility, and are limited in IO (i.e. either PCIe-2 only or PCIe-3 but with only 4 lanes).
If you are in Tokyo, it's more like 3 minutes.
While I agree with everything here, I want to commend on the keeper ratio based on my own experience.

Whenever I shoot on film I definitely have a much higher keep ratio, but a much smaller overall keep volume.

It's simply not practical, either time/money/physically, to shoot on film the same amount and things that I do digital.
> 3. Hostile countries such as Russia, NK, Iran will be completely banned. Analysis to be done and if a country's engagement on the platform is more abusive than good, it also gets banned.

1) Do we really want social media corporations arbitrarily deciding which countries' citizens have an online voice?

2) Isn't it possible that allowing everybody from a "hostile" country onto Twitter will spread dissenting ideas faster? There's a reason that North Korea, as an example, basically doesn't allow most of their people any outside Internet access.

This is the real story behind Pantone colors. I've blocked / downvoted all those "experts" on twitter who are saying "here's a chart of hex equivalents."
12% inflation over 3 years is not normal. The previous time it was 12% over any 3 years was back in the raging inflation years of the early 1980s.

Finally, it's not even 12% -- if you look at the 3 year chart here, it's 16% over 3 years, even less normal:

This article has a huge flaw: it only talks about glucose metabolism but completely ignores the fat metabolism.

For reference: fat metabolism is equally important, or maybe even more important than the glucose part of it. It should not be ignored, it should be taught.

Otherwise a reader may get a wrong impression that glucose is _the_ energy and then will go to a shop to grab the usual candy, thinking that sugar + oxygen is what makes cellular ATP. But this is only one half of the story. The full formula is:

sugar + fat + oxygen = energy

But there is a trick. Sugar suppresses fat metabolism and vice versa. This suggests that eating sugar + fat is a bad idea, and it is. But what the average Joe does not know is that:

fat + oxygen = even more energy

For example, 1 molecule of glucose leads to production of 32 ATP molecules, while one fatty acid molecule produces 48 ATP molecules. ATP is the energy currency in our bodies, so the more we have it the more healthy and energetic we can be.

The catch with fats is that they are slow to get going. Glucose action is instant while the fats need tens of minutes to be engaged in energy production.

Another catch is that fats can be relatively easily damaged rendering them unhealthy. For example, the production of refined vegetable oils uses high temperatures to "squeeze" the oil out of the seeds. This process inevitably damages long chain fatty acids breaking them into shorter pieces and oxidizing them along the way. Such trans fats cannot be consumed by our bodies: their chains are too short to be correctly processed and are too big to pass the mitochondrial membranes. This will gradually lead to a metabolic dysfunction while filling the cells with unprocessable "junk".

But if you consume high-quality fats as a part of a daily low-carbohydrate diet it makes miracles: no belly, better cognition and you don't need so much food anymore. For example, the following products are considered as the sources of high-quality fats: avocado, fatty fish, extra virgin oils, nuts, European round cheese.

The thing is that people don't know this until they hit a health condition that makes them vulnerable and sensitive. We live our lives eating tons of sugar and thinking that this is the right diet because "sugar = energy", but it is not. Articles like this fuel this wrong impression. As the result, we gradually loose our metabolic flexibility and may become seriously sick at some point of our life.
One part of that is higher caloric demand, but the other part is your capacity to burn calories. As you become more fit, your body can draw on more calories in a given moment. Fit people can burn more calories per hour, usually by a large margin

All my support for not giving govts more power. Better to leave and keep credibility.

Now the digital currencies are coming (CDBC). They are really dangerous.

Let's start to make conscious decisions. I think freedom is in play with these movements and now it is the time, at least in Europe.

We have a ton of regulations for Data protection, yet later they want to use CDBC so that you cannot use your money for what you want, your money could expire as your phone balance, will tell you what you use it for, and... and all transactions will be known by them! They want to make the physical money disappear.

More encryption, more privacy and hands out from govs on us. Things are getting very bad in the latest 15-20 years. In the 80s, mid 90s til beginning of 2000s (talking about Spain) Spain was a much more free country and with fewer taxes.

Now we have both (more taxes and less freedom) and things are NOT better. In fact, GDP for Spain is getting nearly 45% public BUT salaries are stuck the last 15 years when discounting inflation. :( I am really worried about my country.
If you're printing CMYK you wouldn't really use a Pantone color anyway. The value of Pantone is that you can get a specific color with just one printing pass. If what you're printing only has black, and forest green, then instead of doing a cyan pass, a magenta pass, a yellow pass, and a black pass, you can do a black pass and a Pantone 17-0230 TCX pass.
I would've assumed the left one was the correct version, as it has more weight on the bottom.

For most humans, it feels natural to have negative space/light colours above (air, sky etc) and content/dark colours at the bottom (earth, gravel etc).

Having all the weight at the top of the piece makes it feel imbalanced - like a top-heavy object ready to topple over (which was maybe intentional, in this case)
Figma was never a competitor with Adobe tools so far as PANTONE colors are concerned.

Anybody working for Figma is working for screens or they are using an ordinary CYMK printer.

Pantone is for high-end work using spot colors. The vast majority of Adobe tool users are going to use common process colors, it's a very specialized thing that very few people need.
