This is in itself misleading. Carbs are the fundamental nutrient required for energy production (specifically for glycogen). So much so that without them the body undergoes glycogenesis. Carbohydrates might be “empty” in that they aren’t filling / are higher calorie per gram, but they are no less a nutrient.

False pretenses have become very common in the past 15yrs. We often roll it up into the idea of constant change and private individuals being free to change their mind on a moments notice, or withhold majorly important caveats.

The idea of a true pretense and the trust that used to go with it, has been pretty firmly buried.
COM (a) requires dynamic linking underneath and (b) uses C interfaces underneath, or at least used to.
Ascientific Nonsense. Trace elements or the lack of them are detectable via drill core samples, drone footage and satellite footage. And in the harvest itself.

And they are routinely re-added while working on the fields. All it would have taken is a visit to a online fertilizer storefront for farmers.

The problem is the rising efficiency of photosynthesis with higher carbondioxid in the air. Means, faster growth, more sugar, less everything else.

In addition I want to express my deep disgust to the "blood and soil" nazi ideology most back to natural farming people push as soon as you drill down on the consequences.

Because there's a lot of foreign investments in Canadian (and USA) real estate that lobby to protect their investments.

Also the pension system relies on mortgage backed securities which never really decoupled from 2008 and with that comes an incentive to keep home prices higher because their tied to peoples retirement accounts.

Owning a home shouldn't be an investment.

Also adding is interest rates. The low interest rate era of the 80s to 2020 contributed significantly to home price rices. You don't see much demand by investors today because of the high rates and cracks in real estate are starting to form.

Global warming is not caused by waste heat. It is not caused by energy use per-se (indeed, energy is never used, but always conserved). It is caused by a shift in the equilibrium temperature, at which the amount of energy radiated by the Earth equals the amount of incident sunlight. The surface of the Earth gets hotter to radiate the same amount of energy (picture an incandescent light bulb), because greenhouse gasses form an insulative barrier. Burning fossil fuels releases CO2, which increases the amount of insulation. It does also release heat, but that hardly matters; if that were all it did, the heat would ultimately be radiated into space as infrared. The problem isn't "energy use". Nuclear, for example, wouldn't appreciably increase planetary temperatures (I say this not to be a booster for nuclear power, but just because it adds heat that does not come from the sun without creating greenhouse gasses, so it works as an example.). The problem is greenhouse gasses.

Toy ODE model:

dx/dt = -k x + a + b.

Here, x is temperature, a is solar heat input, and b is heat input from human sources. I'm dropping some coefficients that would make the units strictly work. We have a >>> b. The coefficient k says how easily the Earth radiates heat. Adding greenhouse gasses makes k closer to zero.

At equilibrium, dx/dt = 0. Solving,

x = (a + b) / k ~= a / k

Again, b is tiny relative to a. So almost the only thing that matters is k.

That doesn't jibe with reality. Tech companies are making record profits at the same time they're laying off workers by the thousands.

Companies have been using "macroeconomic" conditions as an excuse for increased prices and job cuts, but it doesn't hold up to the most basic scrutiny. Their profits have been increasing far beyond inflation. Whether it's FAANG or Big Egg[2], the fix is in.

failing and looking like a hack is what would make the show insanely popular. the only challenge I see is that people might think it's scripted and/or would not have the depth of knowledge to understand why something is happening. both of them can be addressed (so what if people think it's scripted - remember man vs wild? + you could introduce a few "expert" commentators that dumb it down and explain things to the peasants while the action is going on)
The fact that something needs to be maintained is not evidence that it’s not an asset. Perhaps the maintenance should be expensed.

The only really important and surviving part of COM isn't the "component model idea", but that COM enables versioned interfaces and dynamic linking with a stable ABI for high level languages that usually don't have a stable ABI (like C++) by defining a standard of how high level language concepts can be tunneled through a regular C API.

Ok part 1 solved! People did layoffs exactly as econ 101 predicts, because of interest rates increase. Glad I got you there.

Now on to part 2!

> Who made them overhire?

If interest rates being high, causes companies to do layoffs, well then we should also be able to figure out that interest rates being low (as well as injecting large amounts of money into the economy, like what literally happened), causes them to overhire.

Part 2 solved! Exactly as Econ 101 predicts.

Search "background extinction rate". Wikipedia:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Background_extinction_rate

Very 1st reference has this in its description:

"By the most conservative measure - based on the last century's recorded extinctions - the current rate of extinction is 100 times the background rate."

So basically, humanity is 'helping' species to go extinct >100x faster than normal (when considering timescales of millions of years).

That's called an extenction event. For which there have been very few in Earth's history that equal what's currently happening.

In other words: humanity has an impact on biodiversity of similar magnitude as supervolcano eruption or dinosaur-killing meteor strike.

> Like why do people think these numbers matter to normal people?

Because the savings would be less than peanuts in the grand scheme of things that the government spends money on.

Because the Left would be galvanized by a million blog posts and academic papers (basically the same thing these days), arguing that it's racist because people of color are more likely to be underbanked and use cash. Yes I realize that's nonsense, but it wouldn't matter.

Because the Right would probably be galvanized too, by complaints that the government was meddling too much in the familiar and somehow ripping people off. Yes I realize that's nonsense, but it wouldn't matter.

It's not corruption. It's what I'll call the interest-group problem.

Pennies are an issue a few people care deeply about and most people don't. It's electorally thrifty to accomodate those few, and so electeds do. It's an easy win, particularly in a partisan environment that punishes consensus building as betrayal of one's base.

Put another way, keeping the penny won't piss anyone off enough to get one primaried. Killing the penny might.

Of course nobody will work on it until Apple fixes their restrictions, but I wouldn't be so pessimistic as the authors of the website.

Somewhat related-- I remember tracking a bug to a poorly documented commit in a codebase. The dev had changed the memory allocation routine to multiply the requested size by 8 in order to fix "a crasher."

Removing that "fix" immediately triggered a series of crashers that led like breadcrumbs to the part of the code which contained the actual bugs being papered over.

Instead of Chesterton's fence, this is something like "Chad's bandaid." If you immediately strip these away the real problems stick out like a sore thumb and you can properly fix them.

I was wondering about the usefulness of spaced repetition for language (both natural and programming). I thought of analyzing a language for how frequently tokens appear in it (or vocabulary for a human language) and then prioritizing those cards first, and making them appear more frequently... then I realized, reality already does that for you, automatically!

(On the other hand, Pimsleur is great, and taking a systematic approach to "100%ing" the "core" of a language is probably a great idea.)

Google's messaging is misleading, too. The data is likely encrypted, but it's impossible for it to be encrypted "end to end" like they claim.

> You can encrypt and upload a copy of your Timeline from this device to your Google Account, in case you lose your device or need to switch devices.

You can recover the data after losing your device (which would be the only "end" in end to end encryption), which means that the data isn't actually E2EE, and thus Google or anyone with access to your Google account can still access it.

The marketing material is misleading / naive. Cops routinely ask for ids at traffic stop and take them to their vehicle to verify the driver details in their system.

One of the biggest problems is many homeless are too mentally ill to make good decisions for themselves like seeking treatment. That's probably obvious given their life situation, but the law doesn't allow anything to be done for people too sick to help themselves. We need compelled treatment and high-quality facilities which are not jails but where people are not free to leave until they have enough momentum in their treatment to improve their lives. This seems heavy-handed, and probably is, but most people would thank you eventually.

The massive illegal scraping of data on the internet is "only done once" type deal. After platforms have learned of the abuse OpenAI has engaged in, content platforms are now gated and under access controls. You can't access NSFW content on Reddit without logging in, for reference[1]. You could before OpenAI Buzz existed. The point of the illegal scraping is the first mover advantage. Subsequent scrapings will not be as easy. This is also the reason why we could send FBI agents to OpenAI to bust their servers and delete the training data. After wards, gathering this said data again would be much more harder, thus delaying any kind of LLM "progress" in future. For LLM skeptics, this is a dream. Jail the executives, send in feds to light the server rooms on fire.

> So, no true highly intelligent, highly motivated, skilled retail investor will lose money?

> The point I'm making is that good, safe gun ownership and gun storage practices only mitigate very specific parts (and not even the largest parts) of the statistical observation that people who live in a home with guns are considerably more likely to be killed or injured by gun violence. A person can very carefully follow the basic rules of gun safety (treat every gun as if it's loaded, don't point it at something you're not prepared to shoot, etc) and still use it on themself. Or their kids. Or their spouse. Or their roommate. These are not mutually exclusive. That person can very conscientiously store their (unloaded) firearm in an appropriate locked cabinet, with trigger locks, away from their ammunition, and still do any of those things. So I reject completely your initial claim that being a "safe" gun owner makes you somehow an exception to the observed phenomenon.

The point being made is simply one of statistics. "On average," retail investors will lose money. This "average" is taken across the entire population of investors. There are subpopulations of investors, however, who tend to be better educated, motivated and so on, and who do not lose money "on average." It isn't a no true Scotsman fallacy.
