I agree with you “Processed foods, excessive simple carbohydrates and sugars are the main evils in the kitchen, but there are a variety of reasons to eat less meat too.”

I like to eat red meat two or three times a month: tasty and I think some red meat is healthy for me.

I avoid any packaged food except I am too lazy to always make homemade bread. +1 for shopping for fresh vegetables, fruits, berries, whole grains, beans,…

Really, the main center parts of grocery stores where everything is in plastic or boxes really needs to be avoided.

As a substitute for packaged deserts, making a pancake and berries is pretty good.
Here's what CEOs are going to think:

If Twitter stays operational with a skeleton crew: it's confirmation to them that engineering is overstaffed and Twitter was bloated.

If Twitter starts breaking down: it's confirmation that Twitter was so overstaffed it became too bloated to produce reliable, resilient software and instead relied on its outsized headcount to keep things running rather than doing things "properly"
Gosh, for all the bluster in this comment section of supposed technical folks nobody seems to be highlighting what appears to be a very compelling methodological advance in the Burden of Proof methodology [0] used to produce this result.

> "Here, we propose a complementary approach, in which we quantify the mean relationship (the risk function) between risk exposure and a disease or injury outcome, after adjusting for known biases in the existing studies. Unlike existing approaches, our approach does not force log-linearity in risk functions or make additional approximations, such as midpoint approximations for ranges or shared reference group"

Yes we live in a globalized society, everything is linked. Now what?

This is wrong. You seem pretty shallowly convinced so i will just negate you and provide just as much evidence. As far as i'm concerned, i will be happy if this conversation made you actually look up some evidence (to support your point). I'd bet a lot that you will be surprised by what you will find, but hey, everybody deserves to believe what they want when they don't know. Respect (honest). Now i'm out of this thread, it's starting to get out of hand.
The state of food research science is so ridiculously bad. We got paper after paper, and badly written news article after badly written news article, contradicting each other on everything about fat types, coffee, milk, meat, wine, anything else that's edible or drinkable you name it.

It's as if we know exactly zero information about the relationship between food and health, because for every fact, there'll be another contradictory fact.

I have no trust in food related scientific research. Give us properly conducted experiments with large enough (millions?) sample sizes and all the necessary blinds, publish it, and ensure we can STICK with it, don't leave openings for papers with the opposite opinion to be published, by making your experiment good enough to be indisputable. Thank you.
Sure looks like it to me!
And then if they need you specifically then they offer you more $ and then may offer more flexibility along with that.

Doesn't need to be a conspiracy, just misaligned incentives. That said, I do agree that customers aren't clamoring for upload bandwidth and p2p, because the software for selfhosting is still way too complicated and insecure for the average user to set up and run. It's a chicken/egg problem, and IMO the software needs to get better first (which is what I'm working on).
We've already got a replacement that's owned and administered by users, with no ads, that can't be bought and ruined by billionaires: Mastodon.

Yes, there's definitely more UI code (roughly 20% of the total is engine code). But it's also a much, much easier code to write than the engine code which has to be threadsafe, has to perform no allocations as far as is possible, comes with various graph algorithms, etc

It's a very dark but interesting calculus.
Most ecosystems actually need more predators, not fewer. One of the negative effects humans have on ecosystems is killing predators like wolves, which wrecks the rest of the ecosystem.

But again, as I said above the effects of these predators on this ecosystem is not necessary someone that was well-thought-out by these people.
For attempting to kill 5 people and for indirectly dealing in some horrible drugs, counterfeit money, and illegal guns... 20 years seems reasonable.
Your heart is in the right place, but you are incorrect. The made up political term in the US is "assault weapon", created when the "Assault Weapons Ban of 1994" was enacted into law.

"Assault Rifle" is very much an actual term for an actual classification of military firearm, and is a literal translation of the German term to English from the original assault rifle, the Sturmgewehr 44 created by the Germans during WW2. Moreover, the reason an MP5 is called an MP5, is that the MP stands for Maschinenpistole which literally translates to "machine pistol", and is the next closest type of weapon in German parlance to an assault rifle. In fact, the StG 44 derived from the MP44, which fired a smaller cartridge.

Mechanically, both assault rifles and machine pistols operate similarly, the primary difference is the cartridge. Assault rifles fire intermediate rifle cartridges (smaller than a battle rifle cartridge) [e.g. 5.56 NATO (.223 Remington)], and machine pistols fire pistol cartridges [e.g. 9MM NATO]. Machine pistols in the US are classified as sub-machine guns. The history of that is equally interesting, but irrelevant to this sub-thread.

There are no civilian owned Assault Rifles manufactured after 1986 in the US, except when held by a Class 3 FFL (federally licenses firearms dealer), or purchased by a police department or specially licenses corporate security organizations (think PMCs). They are considered to be exclusively military weapons that do not pass the "sporting purpose" test enacted in the Firearm Owner's Protection Act of 1986 (ironically named, since it didn't do anything of the sort). This is especially ironic because the entire reason shortened barrel shotguns being illegal in the National Firearms Act of 1934 was upheld in the US Supreme Court (Miller v United States) is due to it not having a military purpose, the purpose of the 2nd Amendment being that US citizens have an innate right to possess, train with, and utilize military equivalent arms. So taken together, in the US a firearm must have a "sporting purpose" and also be military equivalent in order to be legal... luckily that contradiction does not completely eliminate most firearms.
If you rely on naming function to know if things can be mutated you're doing things wrong. The only source of truth is the type received.

Forced or otherwise, yes. This is the whole point of the "making the world safe for dictators" thing.
I was gonna say, there's plenty of modern analogues in the human meatspace.
I'm sorry, but this is a silly article.

Yes, key changes went away in US pop music at some point a few decades ago.

But the idea that this has to do either with hip-hop or with digital music production is frankly ludicrous, and the author presents zero causal evidence here except that all three things happened very roughly around the same time. And the proposed explanations make zero sense.

The real answer is simply that the shifting the key up in a dramatic energy-raising fashion just went out of style, like a thousand other things in music. As the author themself notes, they're "heavy-handed" and "trite". I could add corny, old-fashioned, and overly earnest to that list.

Everything in music gets overdone and then fades away to make room for the next new thing. There's no more reason needed for this than people just got tired of the old thing -- which they always will.

Claiming it's because of hip-hop or digital music is just strange.
One contributing factor is that many studies are funded by the people selling you the food being studied

Agreed. I have seen some disturbing stuff on Twitter where people say things like “why are you arguing with the smartest man alive?”, “this person invented modern rockets”, “you should just do what your boss says”, and more just complete falsehoods parroted by followers who seemingly have no upside to doing so. It’s weird and bothersome.
I visited the article only to make sure it mentioned the novel "The Universal Baseball Association, Inc., J. Henry Waugh, Prop." by Robert Coover.

I was thinking about that book just yesterday. I find something about the way it goes "all in" on a tabletop gaming system deeply appealing. Probably for the same reasons I find pencil and paper RPGs and programming computers appealing.
As a layman, it feels like studies which are not specific to individual genomes (and expressions of those genomes), and don't usually consider differences in areas we seem to be learning more about every hour (e.g. gut biome), are going to be antiquated as we continue to learn more in those types of areas.

Said the other way, getting to the individual level will have a massive impact on how we approach health and medicine.

Am I too optimistic? If and when we can get to this individual level, are we each still a very complex system with too many unknown unknowns - too many interdependencies and unknown relationships between cause and effect (even when they do exist)?
Bank of Japan owns over half that debt.

Take out that debt and Japan's debt to GDP ratio falls below the US's. Now factor in how Bank of Japan's active surppresion of interest rates occurs by buying debt. If Bank of Japan keeps the 10 year at 0.25% then the net government debt will continue it's free fall.

Its irrelevant how much it will cost in the end. Moving fiat inside the same currency space is rather trivial, its just balances on a server in the end.

Moving currencies across borders between different jurisdictions and currencies that is actually where the problems start and thus this is not cheap and not fast.

People already use crypto as a bridge currency today to transfer "functioning currency" aka fiat.

If you are in lets say Europa and you want to send money to Mexico You buy crypto send it there and sell it there for the local currency (Mexican Peso). This takes only a few minutes if done manually and you get the exchange rate of the market not some bad rate from a bank or payment provider.
People do this since many years now circumventing banks and payment providers who would take a huge fee.

It is a tax on an assumed return on assets, determined as a set percentage of wealth. "Vermogensrendementsheffing" means a "tax on return on wealth", not on the wealth itself. In name it is not a wealth tax, but in reality it is, since the assumed return that is taxed has no relation to the true return. This relates to the recent decisions declaring this partially unlawful, see e.g. https://www.tilburguniversity.edu/magazine/supreme-court-net...
I don’t assume anyone is a javascript programmer by choice really but anyway. Of course it matters; if you want to be in the office, why count your travel hours? Your choice. If you need to be in the office, that’s another case.

If it requires more than 20% - 30% of your staff to sustain operations then you've implemented it wrong. So sure, you should be able to keep operations going having sustained large staff reductions, but you aren't going to be doing anything to expand your business opportunities. Maybe Musk doesn't think that's required, but if they lose too many key operations personnel then they may be screwed.
Twitter's longest standing and most valuable users access it solely via 3rd party smartphone apps, which use an API that's not been updated for many years and have zero new features from twitter in that time.

The service is identical to 2009 or something as far as I'm concerned, and still appears broken as far as video embeds go to this day. It's one of the heaviest and slowest loading sites I can think of.
I think the company should just count the travel hours as work hours if office presence is mandatory.
I have no doubt this what he is trying to do. Whether it will work is another question. I worked at a start up that got acquired and went through the same thing. First most people left, and then the whales (I was one of them) left too because life is too short to work in unhealthy environments. Pretty soon he had no one but the people he brought in and the tech debt just got worse as there was no one who understood the problems left to help fix them.

Can it be done? sure. Is it a smart business decision? open question.
It is frustrating that many times when someone asks a question about crypto instead of an answer there is a comparison to something else that is irrelevant using a metaphor based on a misconception.

Good. All-caps for constants would make no sense in a language like Go.
The main issue to me is that according to what I've read, employees were not given severance agreements nor employment contracts to review before making their decision to stay or go. It's unreasonable to force someone to make an important decision like this without even knowing what they are agreeing to.

I indeed don't know how research is conducted in this field, and I'm sorry if I made the wrong point due to that. But we're getting papers with opposite opinions now, so something is very wrong with how it's conducted now. Either do it properly, or be honest about the correctness/p-values/... to avoid articles on "red meat is bad", then articles with "red meat is not bad", or "coffee causes cancer", then "coffee has antioxidants and is good against cancer", etc...
Yeah, I'm not a gun guy. Looking up MP5, I see that it looks like what they were carrying. To me that's not any kind of "pistol", but I don't know the correct terms.
No, Hotz said in public while arguing with some other person on Twitter that he is willing to do 12 weeks at twitter for just cost of living in sf. Then Musk dropped in and said "you're on".
They are fine for startups where you can expect a bootcamp for a chances of making it big. Here it seems to be a bootcamp just for privilege of working for his majesty Mr Musk for regular salary and uncertain future. Only idiots would slog for free.

It'll happen over overlay networks for other reasons, like the Internet being a dark forest hellscape where anything public gets attacked.

Edit: one more piece of detail about upstream bandwidth at home. 30-40mbps/sec up is a DOCSIS cable system limit. That's the only reason for that really. Cable was never designed to be bidirectional and the stuff they do with modulation to get shared upstream is heroic. It's also related to why cablemodems tend to use a lot of power. They have to blast spread spectrum pretty loud to get it to the CO. Fiber will save energy.
I may be naive, but I think that Elon was able to run SpaceX and Tesla this way because they both were companies with optimistic visions and by far the best (if not only) option for people who wanted to effect change in those respective industries.
