We don't suck up all calories from what we eat. We know this because our fecal matter burns. What you have on dietary labels are dietary calories, which is what a typical human body can absorb. Not the "fuel" calories.

I think the understanding about dietary calories comes from the agricultural world where calories are much more involved in the economics of animal growth and weight gain. So we might not even be that sure that what we consider dietary calories are accurate for humans.

Assuming they are accurate, each individual digests a different % of all calories they ingest and it depends on many factors. It's a very imprecise science.

If you want, you can eat a given number of calories each day of just one meal (like Huel or Soylent) for a month. Then, for the last week of the month, you can see how much weight you gained or lost over 7 days. You will also need a medic to estimate your basal metabolic rate and you would need to stick to your daily physical activity habits consistently. And then you can arrive at some number of what % of dietary calories you absorbed for that particular food with those particular eating times, exercise habits, and so on.

I think it's a very impractical test. Maybe it might be easier to do in a very controlled environment in terms of energy expenditure, like in weightlessness. But then the weightlessness is a factor in digestion, too.

If someone found a way to accurately determine what % of dietary or fuel calories humans really absorb, the data would probably be as impactful in our understanding of diets as the Minnesota starvation experiment.
It's actually a real problem here, considering the cost of medical care here in the USA, and how insurance is generally via employer.
That description just sounds like regular news and social media.
Crash aside - this is very well-done and cool map. I wish Google made maps like this more easily searchable / discoverable.
Having dabbled in a couple different exercise disciplines, I’d encourage very small updates to your priors from this study.

Every bodybuilder knows that you have to push to failure and rest a lot between sets. The term for low-intensity or unrested lifting is “junk volume.”

Every runner knows that 80% of your volume should be easy. It’s called “80/20 training.”

Every CrossFit bro knows you need both intensity and volume - and maximizing that over time is what’s important.

They all work, but in different ways + for different reasons.

There’s lots of studies that try to break the mold. Usually, they’re limited by the impracticality of a large N, or perfect adherence, or exogenous factors, or avoiding hype. It’s a limitation of the field. It just means things will go slower. Don’t worry too much about any one study.
I find many companies rejecting Google voice numbers, calling them VoIP services (which is kind of funny, most mobile is VoIP these days)
The argument that security through obscurity isn't security is that when it is open there are more eyes that can see security flaws within the code and get it fixed vs. just the people attempting to exploit it. Not having access to the source might obscure potential vectors from attackers, but at the same time, those vectors might be fairly discoverable without the code, or they might be quickly fixed if more people were looking at the code.

I don't think anyone in this comment thread has the data to truly argue one way or the other. The open source world is obviously the easiest example here - there have certainly been plenty of exploits that people started using in the wild before any of the "Good Guys" caught it. But there's also been huge numbers of security bugs quietly fixed because some random person saw it and contributed a fix. And plenty of the highest visibility exploits over the past decade have been found by security researchers unrelated to the projects utilizing the open source code was part of their toolkit in finding issues. If it was closed source, would the "Good Guys" have found it before the "Bad Guys"? Who knows!

You'd need to actually compile and analyze all this data to have a strong argument that isn't just people going off of what sounds the most logical to them, and there's also all sorts of confounding factors that would need to be accounted for, like value of the potential target, overall popularity of the codebase, etc.
People's obsession with diet is very strange. There are other things that are important for health. like sleep and work-life balance. And I think these are more important than eating vegetables.
I would think that goes the other way, as a benefit to automation. People are a lot more volatile than machines, so scaling up and down in periods of high and low demand is more predictable with machines.
> Your worth is determined by supply and demand.

Supply and demand works in a world with no information/power assymmetry in Econ 101, a.k.a. freshman's dream. Even in the most basic case, when a sack of flour is being bought and sold, the buyer wants to buy a sack of flour, the seller wants to sell a sack of flour + a variable number of bugs in it, and the seller's profit margin goes up with the number of bugs. That's why there is a third party necessary which fixes the maximum number of bugs to be included with a sack of flour: otherwise this whole "free market" falls apart or starts killing people.

My issue with motors is that all of their problems seem mechanical in nature to me.

I don't think anyone will really have a problem wiring up an H-bridge or whatever to run a motor.

I'm personally wondering how to use the physical properties of a motor to like, move Magic The Gathering cards around, or other real world tasks.

It very quickly becomes a mechanical levers / pullies / motion kinda problem, rather than electrical. And I have no idea how to study mechanical engineering.

-------

Like: how does a damn printer pick up just one piece of paper? Yeah yeah, there is a motor involved, but it's not the hard or interesting part.

There has to be little rotating mechanical fingers, the shape of the basin, the winding path the paper takes internally. Who designed that? How do I study that stuff?
It depends what he does. Maybe he's living a lot less than a lot of much poorer people. Maybe his obsession with death stops him living at all.

Typically when you use "quotes" it means you're using the same exact words that someone stated. I didn't say you were "whining", I said you were complaining. And you were.
You can just vary the intensity. The general approach is go as hard as you can for brief bursts then back to a comfortable pace to recover, then burst again. Your peak burst may be pretty slow at first, but if it gets your heart pumping, then you're doing it. That peak should just go up as you train and build your strength.
They solve their problem by paying me money. I'm fine with that. You don't have to get paid if you don't want to.
Yes, large companies execute layoffs en masse by location, function or group, regardless of individual qualifications, in order to avoid discrimination lawsuits.

> It's also a little bit pathetic how some of the ultrawealthy seem to have the hardest time confronting their own mortality.

Putting one's resources to best use isn't "pathetic".

If you do anything to maintain your health and longevity, proportional to your resources, then you are doing the same as a rich person with a private doctor.

I expect natural biological death won't be so inevitable long before the end of the century. Sometimes rich people are like everyone else, but living just a little further into the future.
Along the same line and even smaller is the DAN A4-SFX, just 7.2L internally.

They might have some involvement in python libraries or tooling to interact with excel files from python apps, but the default programming support within excel is still VBA. They did add a javascript API, but getting that up and running is a job geared more for a dev than a data analyst.

What I think they should do is not just make a python API, but replace VBA with it, and expose it to end users where VBA is currently exposed. Python should be the language of macros and user defined functions.

> It hasn't aged well.

You’re wrong, it’s aged quite well.

Just take as one important set of examples the new mobile operating systems since this piece was published. Even the most thoughtfully designed and locked down (even with hardware, various uses of encryption etc) continue to have vulnerabilities at the base layer year after year. Bug hunting looks every year more and more like just an expensive sport for condescending security experts who think little about the broader context in which they operate. As much as we all appreciate the whack a mole.

Where there has been genuine security improvement is where we’ve taken the structural, locked down approach advocated here (see also djb’s paper about qmail security). iOS and Android apps (particularly the former) seem genuinely more secure than most desktop apps because they are structured to have very limited permissions from day one. The app environments on those systems looks like they were designed with many of the principles from this post expressly in mind.

The lessons for the OS layer seem obvious. Qubes and in particular Joanna’s post about “Qubes Air” point in one very promising direction.

> Everyone else is a health crisis away from bankruptcy

But that's exactly why we have bankruptcy. You know the word doesn't mean "losing everything you have", it means "discharging debts you're never going to be able to pay", right? You can do it once, and it ruins your credit for a long time (7 years IIRC), but it saves you from dying of starvation trying to pay off debts you don't have money to pay.

This game was fun and made me wonder: have I ever seen a damn flag in my life? Seems like a simple thing, then you get in there and don't know most of them.
I guess "exercising" is a relatively new thing in human history. Normally, calories are something you want to save, not something you want to lose. People worked out by doing actual work, training or playing.

If you think about it, the idea sounds completely ridiculous. Doing a minute of painful of physical activity with no practical use because you are too busy not moving. If you go back in time with this idea people will probably ask you what crime you committed to deserve such punishment. For it to make sense, you need an unnatural combination of abundant food, sedentary work and little free time, which only recently became a thing for commoners.
I'd keep in mind that if you make it risky to hire you, you're less likely to get hired.
Be the change you want to see in the world. Provide us with an alternative analysis.
One day you wake up, put on your glasses, and they don't work. Most people will get used to the idea it'll sometimes take their eyes a few minutes to boot. Even with glasses. Even with eye drops. They won't like it, because it's completely absurd, but they'll learn to live with it.

I'm not sure sure about this guy.

But maybe his absurd ideas will counteract just enough of the absurdity of reality, at least in his own mind. Nevertheless, I think his income taxes are too low.
You're unlike most people in that regard. I'm signed into services on at least two or three devices -- a desktop, a laptop, and my phone.

Also, with your setup, what happens if the computer with the browser containing all of the saved passwords is destroyed somehow?

I don't know if this has changed, but a few years ago the stored passwords in Chrome were stored unencrypted in a sqlite3 database. (on Linux, at least) I'd use an audited service such as Bitwarden or roll my own Keepass thing before using the browser's saved password feature. All it would take is one RCE exploit in a browser to expose your passwords.
s/var/let/g and you're good. This is the entire reason "let" was added in the first place, to correct this historical mistake. It's supported pretty much everywhere even by extremely conservative standards, and it's even the same number of letters. Literally no reason not to use it.

I personally dislike JavaScript. Even modern JavaScript. But this is a bullshit reason to hate on JavaScript.
You also have to look at productivity: if you lay people off you will have disruption and lower productivity with the remaining workers unless it’s something like a fairly isolated subsidiary being cut loose. It can also make people hesitate to take a job with you in the future.

In general, it’s better to keep people if you’re profitable even if you want the margin to be higher. Google’s problem is more their management – in a less rudderless environment you could come up with things for people to work on but when you’re mostly sitting around hoping the ad words money fountain keeps running it probably is true that you can’t figure out what to have them do.

Agreed. Getting back into shape or higher shape is often focusing on the part of your body current letting you down. A simple loop is you sprint, your legs gas out... Squats or other exercise. Legs strong now, you can't breath hard enough... More core... Now your core is stronger than your legs are. Legs again. Then consider stabilizers (I'm currently unable to squat more till I strengthen those).. etc etc. As I get older I'm learning more and more about stabilizers and tendons don't strengthen as fast as they used to.
One of the biggest things that became evident after the debate on this reform started is that no French politician wants to risk angering the most monolithic, powerful voting block in France, which is the middle class+ retiree.

Ask Perplexity.AI to explain what Kurt Vonnegut's "Timequake" (1997) computer program Palladio is capable of [spoilers follow]:

>Here's the thing: Frank went to the drugstore for condoms or chewing gum or whatever, and the pharmacist told him that his sixteen-year-old daughter had become an architect and was thinking of droping out of high school because it was such a waste of time. She had designed a recreation center for teenagers in depressed neighborhoods with the help of a new computer pogram the school had bought for its vocational students, dummies who weren't going to anything but junior colleges. It was called Palladio.

>Frank went to a computer store, and asked if he could try out Palladio before buying it. He doubted very much that it could help anyone with ihs native talent and education. So right there in the store, and in a period of no more than half an hour, Palladio gave him what he had asked it for: working drawings that would enable a contractor to build a three-story parking garage in the manner of Thomas Jefferson.

>Frank had made up the craziest assignment he could think of, confident that Palladio would tell him to take his custom elswhere. But it didn't! It presented him with menu after menu, asking how many cars, and in what city, because of various local building codes, and whether trucks would be allowed to use it, too, and on and on. It even asked about surrounding buildings, and whether Jeffersonian architecture would be in harmony with them. It offered to give him alternative plans in the manner of Michael Graves or I.M. Pei.

>It gave him plans for the wiring and plumbing, and ballpark estimates of what it would cost to build in any part of the world he cared to name.

>So Frank [the "experienced architect"] went home and killed himself the first time.

I have already been cited, myself, by Perplexity.AI [when I asked "How many transistors does the new Mac Mini M2 Pro have?" — I had provided this citation into the Wikipedia page "Transistor Density" — and this was strange because I know nothing and am now "an expert" (I am not — I just enjoy reading and talking).

When I ask http://Perplexity.AI "What did Vonnegut determine 'what most women wanted'?" and it spits out the perfect Vonnegut answer: A WHOLE LOT OF PEOPLE TO TALK TO [this is a perfect response; Vonnegut spends pages discussing how having had two daughter and two wives still limits this, but if you force him to answer, it is exactly what Perplexity deduced.
In the first couple of years I would worry about this, but I haven’t in a very long time. The only occasions when I’ve had a gap between contracts is when I’ve chosen to take a break. I manage my finances to ensure I have several months of equivalent income saved.

My process is that 60 days before the end of my current contract, whether my current client has said they intend to renew or not, I start seeking other contract opportunities. If my client finalizes the renewal, I halt my job search. If they don’t, the 60 day window has consistently been long enough to ensure I have my next client lined up before my current contract ends.

Most of my contracts are 12 months long. I don’t take contracts any shorter than 6 months.

I should note that I’m in Canada and so I don’t have to worry about healthcare coverage.

Depends on the type of paper.

If it's in the model of a STEM style paper, then read abstract, read intro + conclusion, see if findings are relevant or interesting or significant. If they are, read the whole paper while recreating the logic/experiment/problem in your head. Question, question, question. Actively read and constantly question the findings or nature of the experiment.

If it's in the model of a humanities or argumentative paper, then read the abstract with a focus on the central thesis or argument, it should be clearly stated. If it's not, then the paper might be poorly written, or too vague to be very useful. If it is, then judge if it's relevant or interesting or significant. If it is, read the intro section. Decide if you should continue reading. When you read the rest of the paper, always refer back to the argument and thesis in your head (which should be clearly stated and summarized in the intro section). Actively question the logic and steps of the argument, evidence, analysis. Assume they will address counterarguments; if they don't, be savage and see if pulling on the thread of a counterargument undoes the whole logic of the paper. Take notes but don't just copy, note your reactions to the paper.
I just wanted to continue the pattern in the thread :D
Yeah even if there were modern browsers for earlier iPads and iPhones, they wouldn’t be pleasant to use because modern mountains-of-JavaScript websites are too much for the ARM CPUs in those devices to handle. The average Core 2 Duo PC handily outstrips early tablets and smartphones in terms of raw power, which is why they can manage the modern web better — in comparison browsing the web on e.g. an early iPad is like doing the same on a PC from the era of Pentium 3’s and 4’s and PPC G3s and G4s.

How easily one can lose weight seems to be more than calories in and calories out. Women with PCOS struggle mightily with weight. Having said that, I'm sure if you put a person in a box for 21 days without food you will observe a net weight change, but I'm sure the speed at which weightloss occurs or is observed will include other factors beyond calories in and out.

As someone missing a thumb, I messaged her asking to buy one as well to try and see if it could be assistive. Never got a reply, so I emailed the researchers she worked with, and they said that she holds all rights to the design so they are unable to provide me even with plans to build my own, and I would have to get her permission/access to it.

Overall it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth. It's been like 7+ years since it was first advertised by her and still nothing but PR and no attempt to interact with anyone who might NEED one, let alone those who WANT one.
