That doesnt make sense. Ukraine isn't part of NATO. Also NATO is a defensive alliance.

It seems some countries don't want their neighbors to defend themselves?
Wow, it gets even worse -- the new tab page has been reinfested with "news" (something I specifically had turned off a long time ago).

I give up... if they're going to treat me like an ad-viewing commodity, I'm just going to switch to FireFox.
I don't think willpower has anything to do with it.
The new apple silicon is so good though for performance and battery life.
For me, carbohydrate consumption and appetite are massively correlated.

When I reduce carbs below 30g/day, my appetite is naturally suppressed (or avoids over-stimulation). Food feels much less addictive. It's easier not to snack in the face of stress. Keto probably added 10+ years on to my life expectancy.

YMMV.

Untrue. The vast majority of people in rich countries are overweight.

I haven’t run Linux desktop for a while but the inconsistency in keyboard shortcuts was a drag, maybe it’s gotten better? One of the best parts of macOS is how consistent keyboard shortcuts are across the system, and how easy it is to customize them with the built-in preferences, or via karabiner-elements if you have the accessibility challenges of being a power user.

I shared an office with the nice, modern gentleman who wrote this:

Another of my office mates was a barista. To me, this is like reading, "Shop class is soul craft" because coffee is definitely art in the hands of an experienced aficionado.

After a decade of personal experiments with coffee devices you'd recognize, I've settled on a cheap and simple Mr. Coffee burr grinder and Bodum pour-over. I don't pre-soak my filter, just grind-and-go with a Sumatra bean from Fresh Thyme.

My experience has been that coffee is phenomenological to the point that it seems to resist attempts at empiricism, similar to audiophile pursuits; like software, it's prone to Heisenbugs!

I assume that is minified and compressed. That's quite bloat. I wonder if they try https://github.com/johnthagen/min-sized-rust ?

You’re free to like what you choose, of course. I do want to talk about application & window management on MacOS.

On Windows, and on desktop Linuxes that I’ve used, a running program is inseparable from its windows. E.g., if you open notepad.exe and then click the “Close” icon, notepad.exe shuts down. (This is true commonly but not always).

If you open another document you will often get another window for notepad.exe. If you click the “Close” icon on the second window, the application will keep running, since it has the first window open still.

MacOS does it differently. Most applications run separately from their windows. Open TextEdit.app and it stays open until you tell it to quit. You can have many or few windows open and the application will keep running.

This plays better with another different in MacOS, which is that a running application controls the menu bar at the top of the screen. In Windows and Linux, those controls are specific to each window of each running application. So if you have 3 copies of notepad.exe running, you’ll see three menus for it, one in each window. In MacOS you’d see the TextEdit.app menu at the top of the screen, and the editing windows floating on the desktop.

Switching between these two metaphors is hard, regardless of which direction you go. There isn’t an objectively right way to do it. Changing from one metaphor to the other wouldn’t be as simple as changing the function of “Close,” though — many features and patterns are inextricably linked to this choice.

Lastly, FWIW, there are multiple ways to close an application on MacOS: using the Dock, as you describe; Command-Q almost always works, both from the application and from the task switcher (Command-Tab); Menu > Quit works. I personally hide the Dock, and use these other methods.
"Rules for thee, but not for me" may actually be the oldest trick in the book. Google's hypocrisy here is disappointing, but not surprising in the least.

Perhaps the weight loss would be more permanent with the higher doses that are being approved for the weight loss use case?
> some people need a bit of a push to kick bad habits like overeating

I think this is the real culprit - the idea that overeating is the root cause and not a symptom, and that a little bit of a push makes a difference.
Cost is not the only variable. Efficiency and charging/discharging capacity and time are also important metrics.

Basically storing heat and converting it back to electricity, you are going to lose quite a bit of energy. And that's before you consider cooling effects. Heating up a large mass is not particularly fast. It takes some time. And then getting a lot of energy out rapidly is also not really that easy.

A lithium ion battery has probably well over 90-95% efficiency. It keeps its charge. And you can charge/discharge rapidly. Basically, you cans switch them on fast enough that switching from the grid to a battery when there's an outage, you probably won't notice the switch over.

Both have their strong and weak points and there is probably going to be a use for both on the grid.

An oft-repeated argument, but usually not backed by any evidence or math.
> It only takes one member unwilling to join cartel to ruin them.

It only takes one member in an enviroment protected from all other actions of the cartel to ruin them.

If all economic actors only interacted in the marketplace itself, then, yes, cartels are unstable. But businesses are not spherical cows in a vacuum.

In practice, cartels can exert all sorts of forces to insulate themselves. While most don't go to the extreme of drug cartels which you should note are quite adept at maintaining their stability, they can still to plenty without resorting to violence. Off the top of my head:

* Economies of scale, barriers of entry, and other Econ 101 stuff that privilege large entrenched actors over upstarts.

* Threatening to stop giving contracts to builders if they work with the competitor.

* Threat of social sanctions since many of the people who run these businesses all know each other and play together. Pretty awkward to break up a cartel at 10am and then go to your regularly scheduled golf game with its owners at 4pm.

* Buying smaller competitors outright before they defect.
True, but the practical reality parallels the regulations mentioned above: the rules are not being enforced fully, and there do not appear to be enough real-world consequences to prevent individuals from breaking them.
Unless you're ready to spend about 1000 bucks (at least 500 on a brewer and a similar amount on a grinder), IMHO I wouldn't try to replicate espresso at home. There's no real cheaper shortcut to getting real espresso--lower cost options can't evenly extract a puck of coffee and will give wildly different (and usually unsatisfying) results with every brew. IMHO I'd get an aeropress, moka pot, or similar setup for brewing good cups of coffee at home.
>That's a strawman argument for this study, which is not anecdotal but a large scale study with a statistically significant cohort.

I never said it was anecdotal. Quite the opposite. Do you know what p hacking is? The number of methods to distort data without detection is too many to count. It's just a fact of life if you're exposed to enough studies on nearly any subject. Appeals to authority are just that.

>How do you know until you try? What makes 5 days the optimal number? It's just some historical compromise we settled on with no scientific support, which is the aim of studies like the one in the article.

Why not 6? Or 8? Or 2? 1? Define scientific support in this context. Going with a blanket approach to say 4 days a week should be the norm for every industry is quite unscientific. 4 day work weeks for any on call industry would be absurd.

>The argument is less time at work = (greater morale + similar/better business outcomes)

Then why aren't the businesses that already employ it outcompeting fortune 500 companies? Why isn't there clear evidence in the business themselves (being more competitive in their fields)? Why is it only the studies that come up with these results?
This seems useful. However, some people, both inside and outside medicine, believe that negative consequences' education can be a solution to the overweight/obesity issue, even though after 40 years we've seen near no positive correlation. We've seen some positive outcomes from interventions (e.g. mental health treatments, actionable plans, etc.) but the funding/resources for those continue to be scarce. So the trend keeps falling back to education in the professional setting or bullying in the social one as a "solution" because it is free, ignoring the lack of efficacy.

I actually think our "personal moral failing" thinking is a large impediment to actionable solutions for society, because instead of looking at WHY even 18-year-olds have gone from below 20 BMI in 1879 to over 26 BMI in 2022[0] we just go around and around in circles about how it is a personal responsibility issue not a systemic one, while the data continues to show that it is across all of society. We continue to subsidize sugar substitutes (corn turned into HFCS) at the production side but sugar taxes to offset the subsidies are seen as "attacks on freedom." The US's overproduction of HFCS has even lowered the international price of sugar indirectly.

Because sugar is so cheap, and so addicting, in our capitalist system the manufacturer willing to exchange other ingredients (e.g. fats, proteins, etc) for sugars may be both cheaper AND taste better, even if ultimately it isn't satiating. So we have a bunch of foods which are high in sugar relative to historical norms or that simply never existed because they exist to act as a "sugar delivery system" (e.g. soda).

After the UK introduced a soda tax (SDIL), we can see that due to both manufacturers reformulating their drinks AND changes in consumer behavior it resulted in lower calorie intakes that they did NOT make up by buying alternative sources of sugar (e.g., candy)[1]

If anything your examples show that aggressors don't care about diplomatic compromises as long as they believe in their total military victory.

Depending on how US elections go, NATO can be no longer a meaningful project anyway. So yes, they are absolutely going to invade if encouraged to do so. Eastern Europeans clearly understand that.

Right, except for the models I'm interested in, and hopefully for less than $270.
The VAB CAD interface is materially worse than KSP 1, it’s basically unusable. It has modes that make no intuitive sense and you can’t break out of the modes. The flight interface is difficult to use - it’s hard to know what altitude you are, which was up at the top of the screen and clear before.

I know it’s early access but it’s disappointing that it’s a UX regression when the UX was so obviously hard.

Edit:
There’s no way to establish fuel priority, so celery staging appears impossible. You can’t seem to bring up fuel left by tank. Heat overlay seems to be missing. I’ve yet to figure out maneuver nodes. Yikes. This really is an early access, they’re not even near parity with basic controls.

Edit2:
All this said with ksp 1 it was unplayable when it came out. I then picked it up 2 years later and it was great. But just hope they improve the UX.

The dirty secret is that unhealthiness is demonized. Health has been adopted as a moral responsibility.

You’re not supposed to say out loud that you smoke, drink, or overeat because you enjoy it and have accepted that you might live a less long life and/or one with greater medical needs. You’re supposed to say that you’re ashamed and you can’t help yourself and that you know you’re supposed to be healthy.

This is the moral trap that makes people try very hard to find proof that X or Y is ultimately healthy. In Christian moral language, it’s like being handed a biblical passage that supports that thing you want to do. If being fat is healthy, you don’t have to wallow in shame, you just have to convince everyone that they misunderstand the facts.

It’s hard to make social systems like universal healthcare work when people are openly and unrepentantly unhealthy, but the fact is that health is no more universal a form of piety than faith in some specific God. Some people will just want to eat a lot of ice cream and hamburgers because they’re yummy.
Uyghurs in China certainly enjoy a lot better lives than indigenous people in US do. Meanwhile, you appear to be confusing your ability to scream into the void with being an actual stakeholder in the political decision making process.

And of course China offers this. Here is the footage of Tianamen Square 1989 as reported on television in China https://web.archive.org/web/20200604205421/https://www.youtu...

Interestingly enough this footage was removed from youtube recently, which leads to the question of which government is actually practising censorship here.
International law is for client states.
> It's a failure of self control.

Disagree. The root cause of the problem is that you can't apply to more willpower if you don't know how to actually fix it, and we don't.

There are currently 0 known methods to lose fat sustainably. Yea, you can starve yourself for a few weeks in a thousand ways, but none of them lead to lasting fat loss. Neither does any kind of exercise.

We need to find the true root cause, or this will not change.
I’ve always found it fascinating that most (white) Americans I know seemingly manage to find crazy (often highly aspirational) justifications for owning 20mpg giant cars: the alternatives exist, they’re great, and yet a lot of people decide to drive monster SUVs and trucks even though they’re objectively worse to drive.

It’s obviously the same people who are always in debt and never understand why, despite their incomes being 2-3x what’d they earn in any other country, they never seen to be saving any money.
It isn’t in the instructions for some reason, but some people put the plunger into the Aeropress first, flip the whole thing upside down, and then put the beans and water in what normally would be the bottom. It makes more sense to me, although it is probably just silliness. Some water escapes before brewing if you go filter down!
DuckDuckGo has made it very clear over the last few years that they don't have multiple products—they have an all-in-one solution. You can dislike their bundling and wish you could pick and choose the component parts, but that isn't what they're offering and it's reasonable of them to view this as a tutorial instead of an ad.
> Sure, but do they also not collect any analytics for their ads?

Configurable.

> Will that last through a financial crisis if advertisers offer them more money?

Will Brazil win the 2090 world cup? I'm not sure I get your point...

> Supporting them as a temporary solution just means if they succeed we have all the same problems when the same incentives come into play.

Internet services are run by ads. Unless we can transfer to a model which is publicly funded or subscription based (even free software needs to pay for servers and employees -- the money has to come from somewhere) then the best we can hope for is an ad-funded service which allows you enough control to turn everything off if you want to.

Do you have a better solution and are you willing to start working on it?

Otherwise, you are making 'perfect' the enemy of 'good'.
I would be more worried about the Caucasus's. Chechnya is run by a dictator with Putin's backing. I have a feeling that Ramzan Kadyrov will have the be very careful moving forward. I can't imagine he's well liked in Chechnya.

tbf the Hario V60 can be exacting, and is sensitive to technique. It makes repeating from cup to cup difficult - more so than the Chemex. I've used a V60 almost every day for the last 10 years, and I admit that I've gotten some very tasty brews - and utterly dull (yet drinkable) cups the next.
I haven't seen one of these in person, but I know they are a thing. They are especially popular as retirement communities in the sunshine states.

For those struggling, controlling your diet is the single most effective thing you can do to make progress on obesity.

Much easier to say no to a 300 cal donut than to run 30 minutes.

Cutting out the daily donut for two weeks is about a pound of fat.

Maybe we need a “just say no” to junk food campaign like we had in the 90s.

Lean meat, tofu, tempeh, seitan, veggies, low calorie sauces, limited fruits, protein smoothies (watching the sugar/fat)

Do a few pushups, a light run, increase slowly.

Make it sustainable, not a flash crash.
Good thing you dropped the archive link as now it's not just a paywall but a 404. I find that quite strange for something like WSJ; either leave it up, or issue a retraction or editor's note in it's place or at the top. Major journals shouldn't take down stories.
> how fucked the food supply chain is

Oh great, and there's me thinking it was only an amusingly trivial contribution to the nation's woes. Now I've got this whole calamity to worry about.

And by the way, the idea that supermarket meat is inedible is absurd. A fillet or sirloin from Tesco, and I'm sure others, is perfectly delicious.

Techniques for Scaling Applications with a Database
It’s far cheaper to get them delivered than to drive myself when you factor all the costs of a car. They also don’t deliver them in a car, they deliver them in a refrigerated small truck which makes multiple deliveries to the same street/area in one trip. Often a few to the same building as me.

I’ve regularly evaluated the cost effectiveness of getting deliveries/Ubers vs owning a car. And owning always comes out massively more expensive. Most of the stuff I want is within walking distance anyway.

Ah yes, censorship makes people unable to see whether their lives are good or not. A real genius argument you've mustered here. You should also let people like Manning and Assange know that they shouldn't be worried about being sent into an interment camp.
He's also been really clear on considering Ukraine to be a mistaken creation of the Soviet Union whose sovereignty is only possible if shared with Russia, and on formally integrating partially conquered regions into Russia, so I think we can probably disregard him being really clear about not wanting to occupy the country his armies are currently occupying large parts of and only acting in self defence...
I love the meta irony of this article, taking the (somewhat satirical) journal article and playing along as an example of overblown science journalism with the headline "Breakthrough research reveals parachutes don’t prevent death when jumping from a plane".
