> T2D remission was achieved in 10/23 (43%), and weight changes were concordant with the RCT.

And yet so many modern doctors claim that T2D is "for life".

If you browse this "health sphere" on eg twitter you will find many, many such cases.

For some it takes longer, for some shorter, but even if some T2 diabetics don't go into full remission they atleast greatly reduce their insulin dosage.

In general the "secret sauce" seems to be weight loss and/or fatty liver/fatty pancrease healing/remission.

The funny thing is that this can be done both on a high-carb low fat AND on a high fat low carb diet (but fats and carbs must be MUTUALY EXCLUSIVE and NOT MIXED).

This is a point of much argument between vegans who claim that a high carb vegan diet cures T2D and keto/carnivore people who claim that low-carb diet cures T2D.

What they fail to see is that BOTH diets can work if you DO NOT MIX FATS AND CARBS (vegans are for a high-carb low-fat diet while keto/carnivores are for a high-fat low-carb diet and they're too blind to see that it's the MIXING of fructose and fats that the issue lol).

Obviously low-carb is the way to go since it's carbs that cause severe blood sugar spikes.

Fatty liver is primarily caused by large amounts of fat + fructose eaten at the same time, which is why T2D didn't exist until the last ~50 years until we started consuming so much sugar and fruits (since the modern sugar bomb fruits abominations didn't exist ~100 years ago).

This doesn't mean that fat is the issue, it's fructose.

Remember: agroculutural revolution was 10k years ago: before that there WERE NO sources of high carb foods, which means that until 10k years ago we were all eating a low carb diet.

If you’re referring to the paper USD is printed on, it’s cotton rather than paper.

But even if there was a shortage, I doubt that on a country level USD (or any currency, for that matter) is bought in physical form - it’s just credited to the country’s bank account.
Not what I was suggesting. I was directly answering a question from the parent poster:

I wasn't aware of his other actions. The comment I was responding said "How about becoming dependent on known bad actor Russia for gas, and having an ex-Chancellor on the board of Rozneft?". I felt the person was placing the blame on the government for what a private citizen did and that they put pressure on him once the war started.

However I didn't take the time to look into his background and how that relationship with Russia started (that led him to being on the board). It's also obvious that it wouldn't have happened suddenly and Putin wouldn't give him a position solely for his business advice.

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.

--------------------------------------

Wasn't the green party moving to the center in order to gain power? This required them to hold more moderate positions[1]. I'm not saying "gaining power" is a noble goal but it's different from being cowardly. They also have other goals they want to promote, like LGBT. Correct me if I'm wrong about who they represent in Germany.

As for nuclear power:

So the deathblow for nuclear power that you are talking about is the SPD/green agreement 20 something years ago to shut them off in like 30 years but actually 2022 because of technical reasons. This was extended slightly by the CDU/CSU a few years later [3]. Wasn't that agreement and the position of the Green party in line with popular anti-nuclear opinion at the time? Seems like anti-nuclear has a long history in Germany that picked up steam after Chernobyl. In fact 10 years after that agreement Fukushima[5] which boosted the Green party support.

"Polling done by the newspaper Der Spiegel [in 2022] shows similar trends. According to their survey, 41% of Germans are currently in favor of building new nuclear plants. In a similar poll done 33 years ago [1989] only 3% of Germans thought the country should build new plants." [3].

If sentiment changed with the public post agreement isn't it difficult to reverse course on new reactors or an energy strategy? Again noting that Fukushima is only 11 years old and kind of bumped anti-nuclear support in Germany.

Wages in IT are high for the same reason that rents in these neighborhoods are high: demand is far greater than supply.

It feels great being on the supply-side and getting crazy money, but it feels bad to be on the demand-side and having to pay crazy money. And everyone will say that one of these is perfectly fine and the other is outrageous.

I actually joined Twitter, because I wanted to have a front row seat to the story as it unfolds. Twitter was never that interesting before, but now it's a madhouse of humor, revenge, and right wing zeitgeist. It's amusing AF. I think it's likely Twitter will eventually collapse under the debt burden as interest rates rise and stay high for some time. It will be a lesson for the ages, where eventually the phrase "Musk Buys Twitter" will reference legendary cluster f*cks of enormous magnitude.

Video games are dopamine machines like few others. I fear they might cause us to waste more mental capacity than older pastimes.

I'm inclined to think of it as stealing too much of people's brain power for too little return, like TikTok etc.

Doesn't it sound almost undeniable that we would be healthier as a society if people were forced to do sports, read a book, create something, or talk to their friends in order to relax instead?

(I play lots of video games myself so I guess I'm just theorizing here)
As mentioned by others, a Turing machine doesn’t/can’t use infinite amount of memory, even if all it does is to step right and write a 1, it will use n bits of memory in n steps, so I don’t see how would our “finite” universe be a limiting factor here that would force our computers to be FSAs.

My point regarding the heat death of the universe is that ad absurdum you can only use that amount of energy for your calculations, if every “Turing machine”-step takes a fixed amount of energy, which will indeed be a final number, and thus the O notation applies to that, making everything O(1), QED. But.. I don’t see why would the Turing machine model break down as an analogy to existing computers, programs, hell, real life (as it is one way to represent everything computable).
This is a fascinating concept to me. How granular should we get? Say.. in original Star Wars, should we add "Contains scenes of hand mutilation" or "Character may discover he is not, in fact, a child of a loving parental unit"?

I get what you are getting at, but I am curious how much of that profile should be fleshed out in your view?

As I've pointed out in the MR, this only allows compositors to communicate to windows a scale factor (how many framebuffer pixels to send for each logical pixel of window size), but does not switch window sizes and subsurface positions/sizes from integer logical pixels to fixed-point logical pixels (rounded to integer physical pixels) or integer physical pixels. So Wayland is absolutely not ready for pixel-precise window resizing and positioning in the presence of fractional scaling.
I guess I meant specifically in the case that the other marriage is hidden from both and it is not something that was agreed upon.

Indeed. With the nice addition that now the posts are biased towards small companies that still have not figured out that going single-vendor for online payment is a terrible idea.
IBM's promises, largely delivered to this day, that their System/360 computer hardware and future generations would be compatible, as was that line of computers except for the lowest end special case? All the effort IBM put into emulation of their older machines in the microcoded models (all but two high end ones)?

Some time before then it was realized we had a "software crisis" as outsiders put it, and IBM realized they were spending too much money supporting many different designs, some evolutionary with minor changes?

Many ideas behind systems like Linux go back to the 1960s as well, see Multics, the primary inspiration for UNIX but ultimately a closed source dead end.

For the original question we have to realize how very small many old computers were. UNIX started on small DEC minicomputers, it would have made almost no sense at all back then to allocate more than 32 bits when your maximum data address space was 56KiB and your CPU was 16 bit (the PDP-11 family where UNIX became big following an incompatible DEC predecessor).
"For people saying that this is a sign of the dollar dominance ending consider this ..."

I think you are mistaken.

The technical fungibility of dollars/gold/oil is irrelevant.

The requirement to sell other assets to buy dollars in order to settle oil is not a minor detail - it's the whole point ...

... and it would, indeed, be a sign of an erosion of US currency and trade dominance ... which is why it's not going to happen.

I have the complete opposite logic. I have to drive my gas guzzling suv to get Kleenex and a few other items OR the person delivering Amazon packages can drive a few minutes from the house down the street that is getting an Amazon package.

What you're missing is that the Protect our Future PAC only participated in the primary campaign cycle, meaning intra-party elections. POF did not participate in the general election in November.

If you look at donations based on when they were made, the GOP was the overwhelming recipient of FTX money for the general election in November, i.e., the election that mattered.
Exactly. If I'm going to warn people about content, it's because of what those specific people might struggle with. It was something I understood better once I found a piece of pretty ordinary media traumatic. And here I should say: content warning for cancer and death.

Some years back my mom was getting treated for a brain tumor. It was a glioblastoma, and as one of her surgeons explained, "This is the thing you will die from." Median survival time, 14 months.

I was very involved in her care and it was draining. She was still fighting hard at that point, but we knew that a moment would come when we'd have to decide to stop treatment. So when I saw that a local theater was having a triple feature with one of my favorite directors, Edgar Wright, I immediately bought tickets. At last, a light and fun evening.

What I had forgotten in the years since I had seen it was that in Shaun of the Dead, a zombie rom-com I adored, there is a scene where the protagonist's mom gets bitten. That protagonist, played by Simon Pegg, struggles with what to do. When his mom turns into a zombie, he is forced to shoot her. At that point I was about a month away from having to pull the plug on my own mom, and the scene was just devastating. I had to leave the theater. A decade later I've still not been able to watch the film.

I should be clear here: I'm not saying Shaun of the Dead should have had a content warning. I had seen it! And I think that sort of need is better served by things like https://www.doesthedogdie.com/ . But I am saying that it was a profoundly shitty experience. In the same way I'm going to avoid literally stepping on somebody's toes (because that hurts!) I'm going to avoid retraumatizing somebody when I can.

I think people already do that pretty naturally with things that are widely seen as disturbing. E.g., I was visiting a friend and went to pick up a textbook on his coffee table. He warned me not to open it, as it belonged to his brother in law who was studying to be a hand surgeon. I was grateful for that warning, as I can't unsee that stuff. To me content warnings are just extending that courtesy to less common horrors.

Yeah I'm not disputing that stuff like this wasn't on TV, but you mostly stumbled on it unless you'd been specifically reading the TV guide and you could only watch it again if you recorded it on a VHS tape, otherwise it was gone forever. If you're a young kid now and this video finds it's way into your feed, you can not only watch it again but you can click through to the channel and watch hundreds of hours of construction documentaries on this channel alone, let alone any of the other channels YouTube will likely recommend to you. Even with the pandemic limiting schooling, Gen Z and Gen Alpha by all rights should turn out to be a bunch of super geniuses that out perform everyone based on the fact they've got such a headstart when it comes to both access and depth of information compared to any other generation before them. Unfortunately I don't think it will work out that way because, like you say, far too many people are content to just zone out at the end of the day with shows and video games.

I'm not saying those things don't have a place (in fact they are some of my favourite things to do and I would quite like to be involved in making a show one day) but there does seem to be a massive opportunity for bright and motivated kids who are interested in any subject imaginable to get up to speed in it to an almost professional level before they've even left school. This just wasn't possible on such a wide basis before. However passionate you were, you would have been limited by either whatever materials your local library had or the depths of your parents' wallets.

I remember my friend's older brother was super into maths and used to go to all the different libraries around the town taking out any maths textbooks he could get his hands on. He ended up going to Cambridge University to study it and during his first year he only went to third year lectures because he had already taught himself everything that was covered in the first and second year lectures and found them boring. I imagine that if he had access to all the Maths content and lectures that are available now it wouldn't have been third year lectures he would have been attending in first year but grad ones. He might have even ended up being one of these people who go to university early and graduating before he even turned 20. I can see that becoming a more common occurrence for sure.
> Landlords can’t charge more than a market-clearing price and they won’t charge less.

I think your posts are great, to the point, a no-nonsense economics approach to the question, and I largely agree with them.

However, I'm wondering in this beautiful free-market world ---

What value is being provided by RealPage?

The costs to the landlords I could find online seem low, but with startups it's hard to tell what the "profitable equilibrium price" of the service would be. For only $10/month it would seem to be nothing more than saving a few hours of labor for each property. (Which might be better seen as ~$100+/rental event or something, since the leases are probably lasting at least a year, but still...)
> I may be wrong but I simply cannot image that a bird with the inate intelligence of this currawong would let itself be a surrogate for raising a cuckoo's young.

Big grain of salt: If cane toad populations actually grew at anything remotely close to 70,000X per generation...it would take less than 6 generation for the descendants of one male/female pair of cane toads to have a larger mass than the planet Earth.
Well, Evans and Vernons books use OOP. And when I was interested in the topic (actually it was event sourcing, which seems to be near 100% married to DDD, if you search online resources), I found only blog postings using OOP.

I found it funny, too, because IMHO event sourcing is fundamentally data driven, so FP would be a more natural fit.
>LinkLonk supports comment notifications ... can mute/follow individual branches

Great!

>how you would like to see it working

That's a difficult question. My primary focus is on the availability of discussions. Nevertheless, integrating LinkLonk in both directions with Mastodon should help with growth. There doesn't seem to be an algorithmic timeline, which LinkLonk could provide. Establishing LinkLonk as an integrated RSS Reader and ActivityPub Client could attract a bigger user base that makes calculating suggestions easier.

What ActivityPub can bring to new social networks like LinkLonk is the ability to share the comment section with various other providers. E.g. RSS readers or annotating browser plugins can pool their comments in one place to have an active discussion even if each tool has a small user number.

However, pooling discussions is generally avoided:

1. When there is a dupe on HN, the discussion in the old submission is not continued.

2. There exist various aggregators like lobste.rs, reddit.com/programming or tildes.net, that almost discuss the same articles as HN, but they are different communities.

3. Twitter and Mastodon could pool the replies to posts of the same url, but they don't.

The trivial approach for LinkLonk would be an integration with lemmy.ml and all Mastodon posts that discuss the same URL. That way, most posts would come with a discussion and LinkLonk instantly had a vibrant community.

With the pool-avoiding behavior in mind, some adjustments could be needed but I haven't figured out what that could be.
