CICO isn't useless because so many people don't believe it. They think there is some magic bullet - it used to be to eat less fats, nowadays it's to eat less carbs, or do Keto or Intermittent Fasting (IF).

All of these are valid approaches and can work! But you have to first know that CICO is what matters, in order to appreciate your (very correct) statement that "Successful dieting is about managing the sensation of hunger."

If someone thinks that IF works regardless of CICO, they're going to get it wrong. I know, I was there many years ago before starting to count calories and losing a lot of weight. (Though counting calories works for me, I don't necessarily advocate it for everyone!)

One other small point: While managing the sensation of hunger is a big part of it, other people "overeat" for other reasons. E.g. I have far less issues with hunger, than I have with just liking novelty in foods - I like to try a lot of different things, and lately I've started to cook a lot. That is a bigger source of problems for my dieting goals than feeling hungry, personally. Other people eat for stress, or to stay awake, etc. Hunger is a big part of the equation, but not the only part.

I've never heard of tinnitus in relation to breathing techniques, and it sounds like something I should be aware of, before starting with the Wim Hof method.
In Denmark I received English copies of various work / housing contracts, with a very clear disclaimer "in case of any disputes, the Danish text applies". I believe we did the same in Italy with foreign clients - Italian binding text, English courtesy non-binding copy.

Such a copy is good enough to use for 95% of the negotiation process. Then, if it's a serious business contract, you get a sworn translator to check its accuracy before the final signing.

(In my case, since the Danish ones were standard contracts, I just checked that they didn't differ from the publicly available texts).
In California, the heat pump will win, partially due to the mild climate, and partially due to natural gas somehow being even more overpriced than electricity.

> The problem with suspending withdrawals for crypto firms is the market interprets it as your exchange is insolvent

That’s a problem with suspending withdrawals, especially by individual institutions, generally, I think, which is one reason why government deposit insurance is the better solution, in practice. Even the 1933 Bank Holiday in the US, a government-declared suspension of banking, probably only succeeded because the government established temporary emergency deposit insurance during the break.
>The electricity to run a heat pump that moves heat where you want it is cheaper than the gas you need to burn to make an equivalent amount of heat. On the very coldest days the efficiency of a heat pump can drop enough for this not to be the case, but over the course of the year an electric heat pump will save you money over burning gas.

I am not arguing any point you're making other than this. This statement is heavily dependent on how cold your winter is and the relative costs of electricity and natural gas. Some years it might pencil out, but some years it won't . I'm not sure without looking at historical data I could say the ratio between the two with certainty, especially given the typically very cheap natural gas over the last decade (although recently of course this calculus changes!)

I'm just arguing for some nuance - the linked article is breathlessly claiming things that I think we should charitably say are bending the truth a bit. If I had to install a heat pump tomorrow I would do it and it wouldn't impact me, even if it cost a few buck throughout the year. I think most people on HN are probably in that same class. There are a large swatch of people, on the other hand, for whom a few dollars is very meaningful and a temporary tax credit is great and all but when they expire if we are asking those people to shoulder the cost of this decision we should do so carefully.
It's a fixed 16 color palette. On most 8 bit machines a lot of these effects were actually easier, because their "GPUs" were more powerful, or rather, tailored towards making games, while the IBM PC, or more specifically the CGA, was very dumb and limited.

What do you mean by “function independently?”

Why do you immediately separate eduction by wealth?

I suspect you mean that the purpose of eduction is to ensure that an individual can be gainfully employed and not be a burden on the state. One of your aims would be heading off any poor students pursuing a less lucrative degree (liberal arts).

This seems like a rather sad view of education.
ARC was a specification, more like Open Firmware than specific implementation. NT before 6.0 can in fact boot only using ARC - the NTLDR code is responsible for emulating ARC on PC BIOS systems.

It originated on MIPS, iirc, and SGI MIPS machines used a related firmware.

On Alpha, there was AlphaBIOS firmware (first as an option that you needed to reflash, then as single mostly integrated package with SRM) which fulfilled the ARC standard combined with BIOS-like setup program.
> (but it is true that often there is no snappier software that does what they need)

I think this is the key phrase. Given the choice between snappy but doesn't do all they need, or does it slowly. They will rearrange their lives and use the slow/bloated software that does what they need.

It's exactly the same question answered as "should we improve performance or add a feature" that we ask users all the time.

> they hate it and reorganize their life if necessary to use it as little as possible

My particular software is of the kind that all users use it 100% of the time (i.e. 40h a week more or less). So there really isn't any way to use it more or less. They just get N dollars of work done in a week and that N will beat any amount of frustration, apparently.
Reminds me of the account on Reddit that used to get huge karma and tons of top comment claiming to be an expert on everything, but everything they commented on was a different subject and in every comment they claimed a phd or master from a different university and some years of experience studying X. It was actually very entertaining to look at their comment history of every comment having thousands of upvotes because they started it out with a completely phony “I got my PhD at ______ in _____ and spent ___ years working for the largest ______ researcher…” In order to build fake credibility and it totally worked. Hundreds of thousands of karma from that and insane amounts of bad information as top conments.
Why would a contract for an international deal not be in English?
Hmm. Perhaps I should get my notes into shape and publish them… I'll think about it. I would need to force myself to post them to HN without looking at the discussion, though.
Burn-in is very possible. It is ink particles inside a solvent. Drive it the wrong way and you'll damage the ink or the solvent. Just like LCD where if you drive it the wrong way, the liquid crystal gets damaged. The difference is LCD voltage waveforms are built into hardware and are much simpler since there's no moving components.
Yes, I get it. But on the other hand I tend to think that the reality of getting people to use public transport and cycling en masse is comically naive.

You can see how defensive people get about the marginal adjustments that swapping from a ICE to an electric car would mean. Basically just that journeys of several hundred miles become slightly more painful, oh and if we're being fussy it's not clear how towing would work with an electric car yet (the impact on range rather than their ability to do it is the issue).

> But even when cars are necessary, they tend to be massively overengineered - does every car need to be 1) a five-seater, 2) 500KM range (300mile range), and 3) capable of driving at 110KM/hr (70miles/hr)?

I'm with you on this but it's slightly worse than you say. Most of the popular electric cars are large sedan / SUV sized rather than small city cars and hatchbacks. Cars like the VW E-up and the Honda E are exceptions. Admittedly they still have 4/5 seats but the market demand is a problem for anything less (people are irrationally attached to the ability to transport 4+ people, even if they never actually do it).

It's hard to hack on projects when the rent's due, after all. It is demoralizing to think of all the lost works (not just software) our society loses due to the 9-5 grind for most.
> Point being, people like to spew out CICO as if fat people just don't understand thermodynamics

That is certainly what some people do, and they're wrong.

But CICO as a model is incredibly important. Mostly because a lot of people don't actually believe it! For years, I had the vague sense that I wanted to lose a bit of weight (for context, I wasn't obese, just a bit overweight.) And for years, my kind of underlying assumption was that I'd have to eat completely differently, mostly have to cut out carbs, etc.

Today, people talk about all sorts of different diets - Intermittent fasting, or Keto, low-carb in general, etc. Those are all legit! They all can work for some people. But understanding that the way they work is by making you consume less calories (and most likely making you less hungry) is a critical part of their success, IMO. Otherwise you'll do as I did- I started doing IF, lost a few kilo, then get used to consuming all the sweets I otherwise would've had late at night, but right before my IF window closed. Not helpful in the slightest, and just made my day less flexible.
The issue is the lack of law enforcement especially for smaller scale spammers. Also, the law against spam in USA is fairly weak (cold emails are allowed in mass, in general, with some requirements and restrictions).
Any spam I get, I never unsubscribe. Too risky to instead get confirmed as active mail. Instead, those get blacklisted/reported as spam (though I recently found out that this can also leak your email address, fun edit: apparently that’s only an issue with the web.de and gmx.de services).

American companies are great of subscribing you to their spam mails without opt-in.
Few years back I saw a documentary on BBC UK on how after world war two the UK government used it's propaganda might to project "UK values" to outsiders.

But seeing now what is happening in the UK, I think the "Americanisation of UK" has started. Big examples of this you see is the TV dramas made by local producers, and the news channel GB News(which actually sounds like Fox News of the US). UK was very good at making spy, political and comedy TV shows. No one came close to making the quality-level and substance of these type of shows across the world. Same is the case of News channels. The UK journalism, if done without constraints, is very good. But unfortunately I have seen both TV and News going the American-way, may be due to profit and or politics.

Even though I pay 5x the price for electricity as I do for gas, a heat pump will be cheaper?

I just saw it's about 640k in the last week. That's nice, but Twitter has over 250M daily active users.

Going from a signup to a DAU is a pretty rough game, but even assuming every signup became and stayed active, that's 40 more weeks of non stop momentum and growth at the same pace to meet Twitters numbers.

Sorry, I wouldn't be betting on it.
> GmbH took 5 months due to international founders

> No wonder there are hardly any startups in Europe

Please remember that the process is different in each country. AFAIK the equivalent process takes less than a month in my country, and that's mostly waiting for the paperwork to go through and registering for VAT (which is technically optional, but almost always necessary). There are also companies that will do all this for you for basically pocket money.

the way arrays work and that they can reallocate on append is clearly visible by the fact that it returns the pointer to the new array.

It is something you learn very early, because the syntax is indeed a bit peculiar, and kind of a footgun. However it implicits teaches you to not try to play with the memory backing the array (which is something go programmers are very happy not doing).

Is it? In practice that's what your education system leads to. It always did.

Not as a matter of politics or culture, but of necessity. People who have wealth to fall back on can take more risks. Get completely "worthless" degrees for example. Those without wealth have to aim for more certain outcomes, or put themselves in danger.

Hence the college debt crisis. If many of the same people went to vocational schools, they could have been dept free and better off. This problem is apparent even in more generous public funded school systems.

My country guarantees free tuition and housing stipend to all college aged for their bachelors and masters. But I have too many acquaintances that are now working in positions they are very much overqualified for.

This would have been Ted Dabney (not Al Acorn, who entered the scene to do Pong). However, that you could have a simple pattern generator with segments that moved relative to the rest (by so-called slip chains, which counted relative to main counter chains determining the position of the cathode beam on the screen), the sprites, seems to have been Bushnell's insight. But he did ask Debney, if it could be done digitally. Bushnell did serious engineering, this was not Jobs & Woz. And, BTW, there was no software, this was pure, digital hardware only.

Some statements on the matter by Ted Dabney:

> The “slip counter” as he calls it was a joint venture between us. I breadboarded it and controlled it with toggle switches but Nolan engineered it into the game so it could be controlled digitally.

> [Bushnell] converted a bedroom as a lab and developed a prototype of the game that was later sold as Computer Space.

If the exchange is not trading against its customers, and it is only custodying customer funds and collecting fees, how does it regularly acquire 20 million dollars of shitcoin exposure?

Here's one way a crypto exchange could work:

- many users deposit coins and fiat

- some of those users are market makers

- the users trade with each other

- the exchange just custodies the coins and fiat and collects fees

- the exchange does not need to send customer funds to another exchange because it is not assuming twenty million dollars of directional risk

Can you explain your understanding of how it should work instead?

Do you realise they publicly admitted to sending $400m of Ethereum from cold storage to another exchange "by accident"

That means at best their internal processes are terrible
Perhaps it’s best to avoid attribution at all when presenting scientific and mathematical ideas themselves? There are many contexts when priority claims are messy (colonialism and not) and are fundamentally an oversimplification of an incremental process that involves many people. I do think there is an important place for describing the people who did the work, perhaps in the context of history of science and math.
Funny how the Americans don’t even realize how absurd that looks for the rest of the world.

The reason for this is that the company must pay any outstanding debt before it can shut down - and you need to give creditors a window to write their invoices. And you’re legally allowed to write and collect on invoices for work (or deliveries) that date back up to three years.

So what happens when you liquidate a GmbH is that a notice is placed in the register for all your creditors to see if you have an outstanding debt with them - and then you just have to wait.

Conan O'Brien once introduced a running gag with the explanation that if he mentioned a fake website on the air, the network (NBC) was obligated to purchase and operate that website and it had better not exist already. (You could hear them mentioning "FaceSpace" on Law & Order sometimes.)

Conan decided that he was gonna make the most of mentioning a fake website, so he had them pick up HornyManatee.com, and for the next several months/years, the show developed "Horny Manatee" bits to show on the website and on the air.
