It's very difficult for elderly people to build and maintain lean muscle mass because the endocrine and digestive systems become less effective with age. After about age 70, progressive muscle loss is unavoidable (at least without heavy use of performance enhancing drugs which cause other negative side effects). So, if you want to live a long life without falling down the stairs and breaking a hip when you're 80 then you need to build up some extra muscle when you're young. That means eating a relatively high protein diet (but not a caloric surplus unless you're underweight).
Actually it looks like the US is already on the way of demotion from a global superpower to a regional power. There is no single country which comes as a replacement, but a multipolar world order instead. Many countries, mostly asian are emerging.
David Parnas coined the phrase "Software Aging" to explain why software tends to get more fragile over time. The references in the wikipedia entry on it might be a good place to start.

I'll probably try a Teensy or something that can also emulate a USB sound card to the connected host, so you can "play" anything from a pc/smartphone into the device as if it were a normal speaker and have it recorded onto the SD card. And a passthrough so you can hear what's being recorded... multi-device sound output has always been a nightmare for me on any OS (funny how it's so simple to mirror a screen, but not an audio device?)
I think of a soda stream as an entry level device to get your foot in the door. You'd be hard pressed to convince many people to drop 200$ on soda water equipment but if you let them buy a 50$ soda stream and they love it to death. They might upgrade. You can retrofit sodastreams to use those CO2 tanks too.
Trendon Shavers operated the first Bitcoin based Ponzi scheme out of Texas and it folded in 2014. When he defaulted he tried to claim Bitcoin wasn’t money, he wiped or lost all his records and access to the AWS hosting the scam, he perjured himself and claimed to have fully repaid “jcpham” under deposition.

Liars gonna lie. My deposit and withdrawal addresses and the blockchain kinda shows no, I wasn’t made whole

It takes awhile to come to grips with this and actually see yourself as victimized- I mean, a really long time. The overall personal lesson is don’t give strangers money, especially if it’s too good to be true.

Feeling depressed thoughts and guilt over the greed of seeking interest takes awhile to move beyond.
Kind of a tangent, but uh, this is my personal favorite argument for why Bitcoin et. al. aren't needed (yet): the diameter of the Earth is small compared to the speed of light. Maybe when we colonize interstellar space we will need blockchain.

Shifting gender roles probably played a part as well.

I'm sure there are sitcom examples from the 50s/60s as well but look at even a show like The Flintstones. The guys are down at the lodge while the women look after the kids. Yes, it's just a cartoon, but that sort of working class lifestyle wasn't fabricated out of whole cloth.

My very limited exposure to such places in recent times--for a time I played in a work softball league at a Knights of Columbus location--was that they were very past their prime.

Having enjoyed DF immensely, for free, in the past, I bought DF on Steam to support the Toady One and Three Toe. The UI changes make the game much more approachable. It still has a steep learning curve. But, I don't need to run a dwarf job manager alongside the game. The one thing that I would love to see added is the ability to create and reuse blueprints. Third party macro tools did this job in the past.

Congratulations on your much deserved success Toady One and ThreeToe.
Something silly off the top of my head... We bought a “dog backpack”. We have a pretty small dog but love longer walks or strolling through smaller shops. With the backpack, he can go with us anywhere and it has been a really fun experience.

Also our dog hates walking in rain (he will refuse to move). Now he goes in the backpack, we put a scarf / other clothing over it and we can go on for a bit until we find shelter.
I can very well get to define what art means to me.

Process is actually very easy to infer if the art is made by a human, since the emotions that are being conveyed by the humans behind the screen are displayed directly on screen.

I don't deny that I might get moved by a piece of AI art, but even so, my first thought goes to what human art was used to generated this specific piece that inspired this emotion.

An AI can't feel emotions, but the humans that made the art powering its model can, and that's the only way AI art can make you feel anything, when it isn't just a garbled mess.

As usual, it's always about the humans behind the screen, not about what's on the screen itself; and the people working on these models fail to understand that that's what people are really looking for: human interaction via creativity, not an instant "product" to be displayed on screen; and that's why AI art will always be relegated to the niche of 4channers generating AI porn and enthusiast devs generating nightmare fuel logos for their projects.

For once, I would absolutely refuse to consume any AI-generated content, and I'm happy in the knowledge that I'm not the only one taking this stance.

I also trust that legislation will eventually catch up with the insult to human creativity that are AI art models.
Here’s an empirical example.

yah, i bought 100 flat black hangers a few years ago (~$15 at ikea back then) so i could hang all of my casual clothing (rather than folding, which is more time-consuming). the flat ones allowed me to hang like 50% more stuff in the same space. my fancier clothes go on wooden hangers (also ikea) so they have more room to breathe.
With single sentence examples, it's hard to tell whether this handles informational prosody, e.g. the given/new distinction, or infamous "John called Bill a Republican, and then he insulted him" where the accent means that the antecedent of he is Bill, not John, which further implies that "calling X a Republican" is an insult.
Well, that's a tricky one. It's arguable whether it was actually produced by Crowley.

I sincerely believe that he channeled something that called itself Aiwass. And about channels... basically, for a bad computer analogy, it's like having the hard drive of your consciousness changed out with another hard drive, for a time. Depending on the type of channel, you may or may not remember. Lets just say.... I have experience in this matter.

And if this was a channeled work (which I believe it was), then even though it was physically written by Aleister Crowley's body, it really wasn't written by Crowley. It was written by an entity that called itself "Aiwass"... whatever that is.
I don’t see why being a farmer is implicitly linked to waste.

Not surprising at all. It reflects a shift in science to one-two people endeavours to group work.

If you use someone's lab, or you take up time they are paid for or that uses a grant they need to be able to reflect that in publications.
The American state by the mid-1800s was not that same as the one in the early 1800s. America grew into a major economic and military power by then, the point where it was untenable for Britain to maintain direct control over Canada, or to even maintain a major military presence there. The British were ostensibly kicked out of North America by America.
The first person rules forever is almost the worst possible model. Assigning modship randomly would be better.

This is bullshit: past returns aren't indicative of future returns. You can't predict the next catastrophe. "Zooming out" is the perfect way to loose money, even better than CAPM or similar stupid things.

Edit: Since I'm being downvoted, go read: "The misbehaviour of markets" by Mandelbrot or "The black swan" by Taleb, or just reflect on what "zooming " really is: averaging to keep out outliers.

Edit 2: to put it in less salty terms: yes, now it's down 23% from the previous year, so probably it will go up and you will make a profit, as long as US economy doesn't collapse. But you don't know the probability of such an event, since the distribution of returns in markets is unknown (we're not yet at the limit at which the central limit theorem holds). Not knowing that probability, you may die before you see your return. Or, as said, US economy may collapse, your bank or broker will, etc. Meaningless risks? Perhaps in a world of gaussian distributions, not our.

The British Raj succeeded the East India Company, a London-headquartered enterprise that had effectively ruled most of India for the previous 100 years, and fought numerous wars - usually successfully - in India in the century before that. The Raj was actually a reaction to Indian rebels failing to achieve independence and more power being transferred to the British Crown as a result.
> what really matters in art is the process, not the result; intent, not content

in the fine art world, for now, that's been whats driven value. and when I am in that world to move cash around reliably, thats what I consider and I almost don't consider the aesthetics at all.

outside of the fine art world, there basically is no art market and it is purely aesthetics. the process and intent is irrelevant, only the result and content. I just want cool looking things.

Since it is not possible for you to invalidate my view, then its also what really matter.

A back roller, like this:

I've had lower back pain for 10 years now. Rolling on top of this for a minute once per day was painful at first but after 4-5 days it felt fine and I've had no back pain since. I believe it realigned my vertebrae. Now I roll once a week or so to keep things aligned.
No, it doesn't, because all Ponzi schemes will always unravel. Keeping quiet isn't going to help you.

What this does is it creates an incentive to not invest in a ponzi, period. Without this rule, it makes sense for me to invest into something that I think is a Ponzi, as long as I believe that I'll be able to cash out before it collapses.
I love Dwarf Fortress and it's the inspiration for many modern simulators (and I put my $30 for Tarn with this release), but I do think that Oxygen Not Included, Rimworld, Factorio, et.al. have surpassed it.

My main issue with DF is that the main challenge of the game, combat, is pretty boring and rife with issues. For example, let's say I'm new to the game and want to put some XBow dwarfs behind a few fortifications in my base. Will the dwarfs intelligently do this when a siege happens? Is there a specific way to tell the AI that specific spots are where the Dwarfs should stand to defend? No and No.

Instead I will either have to painstakingly set up individual zones / burrows for each individual defender or the dwarfs will just ignore the fortifications, even if they are in a burrow! And they'll just sit there and ignore invaders breaking through your kill zone unless you specifically micromanage them into 1-wide spaces with fortifications facing the kill zone, and even then they might just run outside your fortress on the other side of the fortifications so they're close to where you ordered them to.

Rimworld on the other hand, (for all of its flaws around random and explosive damage), will at least let you draft a pawn, order it to stand behind a wall, and the pawn will get a significant cover bonus even without fortifications. They're smart enough to lean out and attack on their own too.

I say all this not to criticize DF but to say that the genre has come a long way, and I hope that with this success they're looking at weaknesses like this in the gameplay loop so that folks don't just take 20+ years of goodwill as a replacement for the possibilities ahead.

No, this is poor investment advice. The closer you get to retirement, the more your money should be in extremely short term, non-volatile investments like T-bills. You should not be invested in the stock market, because the risk is too high that you could lose a lot of your savings just before you really need it.

I hate tipping. Just tell me how much a thing or service a costs and let me pay that amount.

I hate tipping for Uber. I hate tipping for grocery deliveries. I haven't been to a bar in a couple decades now, but I hated tipping bartenders for tending bar.

Just include an automatic x% in the price up front, and route that to the service provider as my tip, whether they did a good job or bad job. I can rate them using the app's rating system, tip be damned.

> One barista in Colorado told me that he’d watched a customer contort his fingers on the tablet to make it look like he was tipping 20 percent when he was really selecting “No tip”; far from being offended, the barista said he now deploys the tactic when checking out elsewhere.

This is a silly dance that nobody likes: at least nobody on the tipper's side.
The context here is that Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX and a number of the other executives (Caroline Ellison and Brett Harrison) were previously traders at Jane Street. This video is from 2017, a couple of years prior to the FTX launch. It makes you wander if any of them were in attendance.
Kagi founder here. I am of the opinion that things are not and do not have to be perfect. We do not want to market Kagi as a perfect product, without flaws. What you see is what you get. We have a lot of work to do. Google, a trillion dollar company with nearly 200K most talented employees, still gets many things wrong in their results. We are a ten people bootstrapped team, and the web is a vast problem, just to align expectations.

I am personally not bothered by small errors here and there, it is important to get the big picture right - alignment of incentives inside the search experience. Overall, I believe we also have superior results to Google, please try it for a few days and share your thoughts.

Kagi is in some ways broken and flawed and it is what makes it feel more humane to use.

If there are things that particulary bother you feel free to share them on kagifeedback.org. We are not ignorant of these, just limited by our current resources.
Put another way, a mars colony that is not mostly self-sufficient is a death trap, because the lead time on any supply shipments or rescue attempts is monumental even if funding is unlimited. There will be ever-present pressure to increase self-sufficiency. If complete self-sufficiency is technologically achieved (and there aren't inherent, unavoidable issues with propagating humans on mars or obtaining resources/energy), earth-based corporations and governments have virtually zero leverage over mars, so independence follows naturally.
When I used to mine cryptocurrency, I ran the miners as my space heater too. Now with gaming PCs and GPUs pulling up to 1.5 kW as well, I just use my computer, running GPU tasks, plying games, etc, when I need some warmth. It works well and at least the miner and computer were doing useful work rather than simply shedding heat.

I've always wondered, why do American investors get to benefit from companies like Apple? Why does Apple choose to be a U.S. company? We're obviously in competition with other countries globally in terms of getting companies like Apple to give us their tax dollars.

Natural snow is more of an “icing on the cake” in the northeast.

I really think you should test drive one. It doesn't have a huge battery and ice engine, it has a small battery and a small engine (at times frustratingly underpowered if out of battery). For short drives, the small battery saves you from hauling an extra 500 lbs of battery. For long drives a PHEV is still my preferred option over a BEV, because refueling every 300 miles is faster than recharging every 300 miles, and I'm not looking to have a spirited drive anyway.

The thing is that your personal information doesn't just subject you to targeted ads. It also makes you vulnerable to propaganda, behavioral modification, and all sorts of psychological manipulation. Advertisers have known this for decades, and the internet has given them the perfect delivery method.

While you can't be entirely invisible online, you can certainly make things more difficult for adtech by changing some of your tech usage habits. Avoiding psychological manipulation is a worthwhile and achievable goal.

I think you and the op are wrong (or maybe right?) for different reasons. Positioning it as a new category with less oil was right initially to get the thing off the ground but now it's maturing into a broader market with an installed base and that installed base has produced a ton of content, most of which is not for use as a less oil fryer, it's for use as a quick oven for when you aren't making enough of a dish for a family bigger than 4 people/aren't making something that will have leftovers for days.

The next wave of people buying these things are not going to be fryer junkies looking to cut oil, it's going to be people like me that looked at it and realized instead of waiting 20-40 minutes for my oven to heat up I could throw enough food in the air fryer to finish a dish in 7-12 minutes, which changes the dynamic of how I live my life culinarily for the better by a large margin. With the airfryer I can plan meal timing way less, have less pressure to be in the kitchen earlier, have flexibility to cook something like a roast in the oven on lower heat while polishing off fancy veg or multiple fancy veg (because the run time to cook is so low) in the air fryer, plus I save a lot on cleaning at the end because there aren't multiple big dishes to wash.
