The reason why I'm pretty sure is that

1. there seems to be a consensus about what a generally healthy life style is (see health organizations guideline), but no evidence that dosing the right vitamins and vegetables is going to make a significant difference. In that regards, this guy is basically experimenting some recipe on himself.

2. just by experience, we've all seen huge variation of life expectancy around us, some people die at 95, other at 75, and lifestyle didn't seem to be the only factor. There's so much randomness with genes, social relations, accidents.. that we'll never know whether his protocol provides any benefit

IMHO, this guy is just a snake oil salesman, and it works because of an illusion of control bias.
The human body is not a car. The same genetic material in your cells can produce a brand new infant who lives another full lifetime.
I'd much rather the OS have a "report spam" button on notifications, and if more than 5% of app users report spam then the whole app gets all notifications blocked by default.

Both Apple and Google have strong controls on the apps identity, so it won't be like email spam where the sender can just send from a new email address to get around the filter.

Umm isn't that the point of trying to reverse aging ..to look normally youthful not look so unusual that the look isn't youthful at all just unusual. Look at all the comments here that agree some saying the look is that of a vampire. Thats what the majority thinks and wishes for when it comes to reverse aging ..to be and look 20 again yet with all the wisdom and wealth gained over the years.
> + 31 year age reversal in grey hair age (80% reduction in grey hair)

I'd be a lot more interested in this if I still had hair. But what's surprising is that the man I see in all the pictures and videos like one linked in another comment [1] clearly dies his hair. That's a very interesting choice for a someone who appears to be naturally blond based on the childhood photos in the video, and with 80% reduction in grey hair.

Being healthy was never easier if you're rich enough to afford the healthy lifestyle (it may be a lot cheaper than $1.6k/mo but still expensive). It's good that we know what it takes to be healthy but if it can only be available to a few than it won't bring a health revolution.

A report from the FBI on "active shooter incidents" from 2022 indicate between 30 and 70 occur in a year. In 2022, there were 13 that met the Federal criterion for a "mass killing": 3 or more killed.

https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-incidents...

The reason these statistics are so different from what GVA provides is because the FBI is looking at the kinds of incidents that present a risk to a member of the general public, otherwise going about their business: they exclude self-defense incidents, gang wars, drug deals gone bad, and domestic disputes.

GVA, however, defines any incident with 4 or more injured or killed with a gun as a "mass shooting", which technically includes even some gun range accidents. Many of the incidents they report do not involve any deaths at all. Most of the incidents they report are criminal conflict, not the kind of terrorist attacks people are thinking of when the term "mass shooting" is used. The risk profile of criminal conflict is very different from that of a terrorist attack, generally, since being involved in crime is a significant predisposing factor.

Using GVA statistics to get a sense of one's likelihood of injury from guns in the USA, as a basis for a comparison to natural disasters, greatly overestimates the likelihood of firearms related injury (unless you are a gang member or regularly engage in robbery, burglary, &c).

I agree, procrastination to me seems like an emotional problem, it's not a time management problem. I see a lot of young people these days seem to think they need the right app or secret system to fix there issues, I see them asking questions on reddit blaming the todo list app they are using for not getting things done.

The thing to me seems, that doing anything has a high cost, that the mind wants to protect us from that, doing nothing is safer, I think it's that system that comes in to protect us.

If we do something, it might be disappointing, it might not be as we expect. Even small things, order something from amazon, you have to wait in to get it, the delivery might get messed up, it might be the wrong thing, it might not work etc, doing something requires more doing, it increases the changes of frustration/annoying things to happen, when doing noting often seems like it doesn't cause much issue. This is perhaps why even the smaller tasks are an issue, because the downsides of not doing it are less apparent. It's no wonder we want to procrastinate.

The trick I think is to meditate on the idea of momento mori, as the stoics did, remember your time here is limited and also reflect on the negative of not having done or achieved things, because the mind automatically considers the negative of doing something and wants to protect you from that.

after using piped and newpipe for 1.5+ years, it is not good enough to fully replace youtube app for me. although i believe it has been mostly on the server side and not as much on the client (besides random crashes that were happening when opening a "new" type of video in recent past). currently, most new videos of my subscriptions (manually added) do not show up on time. they often pop up in retrospect, maybe after another person has watched that video on the piped instance.

on ios yattee allows use of both invidious and piped instances and the difference in reliability is night and day between the two. i truly hope the project makes further strides in and achieve a stable experience.
> Many many services ask for phone number as a proxy for "this is a unique human".

This is how we end up with personal accounts as an admin of Facebook ads of fortune 500 companies, and the like. By not allowing multiple accounts, you prevent partitioning of life/business, you prevent abused spouses from creating a secret identity to seek help through, you prevent whistleblowers from blowing the whistle, you prevent people from being able to have conversations about part of their life they don't want associating with their identity.

> Strong identity should be the default

People can have multiple passports! They can choose which passport to show when entering a country. I have a US ID and a Dutch ID, a US social security number and a Dutch one, a US phone number, and a Dutch one. Why should I have the privilege to have multiple accounts while you do not, simply because I moved to another country?

> Lost an hour at the Verizon store trying to get my mom a new phone for the holidays only to learn she needs a DL.

Why should only people who have driver's licenses be allowed to get a phone? That seems ridiculous.

> You get one shot and if you blow it and don't play by the rules your account is banned

Since I've moved to the EU, I have many friends who get banned simply because their written English is bad enough to be considered a bot. How does identity prove they are a human and not a human running a bot? Please tell me this. I'm quite interested in this.

> In the actual implementation the user is issued a selection of credentials with varying claims and can choose which one to present to any given service. The user only reveals the minimum information they're comfortable sharing with any given service.

How is this different than what we already have? I can choose to give a service as little true information as I want. Do you just want some cryptographic user/pass that is attested via a government? What do you do if a government revokes a user's id (aka, deportation, lost id, etc)? Can they still log in? What if it expires, is it still valid for your service? My US driver's license is long expired, but it still asserts my identity even though I can no longer use it to prove I know how to drive.

I don't think this is very well thought through, nor is it realistic once it hits any sort of common edge case. I really hope nothing like this ever happens.

people consistently overestimate how many calories they're burning and underestimate how many they're eating.

i don't know where you pulled the data about 10k steps, but even if it was accurate, it would depend a great deal on how much weight. At my weight, running (!) for 30 minutes burns a mere 200 calories.
> fewer calories might also make you less productive at work. Might affect your reasoning and executive skills. They might also reduce your sex drive.

Fewer calories doesn't mean starvation. We have evidence time-restricted feeding decreses fat mass without compromising musculature or strength while reducing inflammation [1]. Curiously, while "resting energy expenditure was unchanged," basal metabolism did go down.

I don't think the solution is everyone time-restricting their feeding. But there is something here that suggests a broad quality-of-life improvement for many Americans.

It turns out not to be that common, after all: https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/active-shooter-incidents...

When you look at a source like Gun Violence Archive, they report many incidents where there is no loss of life as "mass shootings", and they also report many incidents of criminal conflict as mass shootings. The reality is that if you are not involved in criminal activity, you are vanishingly unlikely to be shot by someone else in the United States.
Would love to see something similar for Switzerland. This page (referred to in another thread): https://maps.vasile.ch/transit-sbb/ is NOT a live map, just an animation based on timetable data.

There were a couple of instances last summer where SBB went belly up (remember that day when a locomotive caught fire while standing still at Altstetten station?), and total chaos ensued. It'd be nice to see which trains are late (in realtime) and which routes to take to avoid problem spots. Around Zurich you usually have at least 2-3 options between points A and B, so people could just be rerouted to the next best route.

I think there is more to be said about the topic that organically sticks to you.

I have realized that this depends a lot on what you are "up to" at the moment.

In my experience, I have a really hard time internalizing information about a topic that is far from some topic or work I'm engaged with at the moment.

This means, I think:

1. That you can to some extent influence what you are "up to".

2. That you should probably organize your reading and other learning activities around the seasons of thinking themes in your life [1]

[1] E.g. to me, that often means I'm into quite different themes during work days versus weekends, where I'm often exploring some slightly different topics.
It's the BoM site, in Australia.

As a site its considerably less authorative than you seem to believe; people get weather warnings here in Australia from the TV, from the radio, from apps on their phones, from looking outside and seeing weather fronts rolling in.

Few people actually directly visit the BoM site, those that do are generally long time users familiar with the site using the usual array of adblockers and noscript, unlikely to fall for "Click here" injection attacks, and more likely to have a direct fibre | line connection to a major ISP to BoM with little chance for malicious injection in any case.

The risks are understood and doomsday scenarios have yet to occur after nearly 40 odd years online as a non https site.

We can have that discussion separately. The beauty of this article is the simplicity of its argument. If you're calling for the extermination of Jews (or any protected class), you're in a category of your own.

> userland processes that can take your sshd port over maliciously,

It doesn't need to happen maliciously. The result is the same: You might be locked out permanently.

> if you have sshd that likes to die a lot, you've got bigger problems already

It doesn't have to die, it can also just happen during startup.

Let's say you initially configure port 2222, restart sshd, everything works well, so you remove port 22, restart one more time, and stop thinking about it.

Then, on your next reboot, it turns out that port 2222 is actually the preferred port of some other automatically starting service that just happened to not be running during your experiment, but which is now racing sshd for port 2222: That's bad.

> rsync uses ssh process under the hood, and that will pick up my shiny config and go brrrrr.

And just as many applications including an SSH client won't pick up the config from .ssh/config (for example because they can't read that directory because they're sandboxed).

Pavement/asphalt is actually pretty good for running beginners because the movements are much better controlled (predictable, stable, flat surface) which reduces sudden moves that can cause injury.

But training in an uneven terrain will, over time, strengthen your other muscles and tendons that do not get much workout on pavement. It is important to understand if you want to move to running in uneven terrain you have to reduce your volume initially, pretty considerably, to give time to adjust.

As to your problems with inflamed muscles and joints -- I have some experience with this I can share.

First is that your aerobic capacity develops much faster than your joints and tendons, especially if you are older. It takes years of regular running to get your joints and tendons to be able to accept daily high mileage running.

There is no other way than to start small (say 1-2 miles every other day) and slowly, slowly build it up and react every time you have any problems (by stalling your build up to get time to catch up).

Connective tissue reacts best to high, non-repetitive loading. The fastest way to improve your tendons and knees is to start lifting heavy shit. That's why all pro runners are also going to the gym to lift weights. Not because they want to build muscle (you don't want muscle especially in legs because you need to move that mass back and forth) but because it strengthens joints and tendons and makes your legs more resilient to stress. Also, stronger core muscles help maintain good posture throughout long run preventing injuries.

Personally, I found walking is an excellent supplement to running. Walking long distances regularly will also strengthen things with less chance for an acute injury. I have even started walking with a loaded backpack (read up on rucking).
But isn't this one of the points of all this. Figuring out which thnigs work and which don't? Which can be thrown out and which can be "condensed"?
Neonicotinoids and decline in bird biodiversity in the United States (2020)
> A fat person works harder exercising than a fit person.

Primarily because of improper muscle activation, and from their body weight making the exercise more intense.

Athletes increase their cardiovascular and metabolic throughput (i.e., allowing them to burn even more calories and thus work even harder), and repeating an activity increases muscle control, allowing more coordinated and balanced movements (e.g., keeping themselves and external weights balanced without erratic, wasteful compensatory movements). They might also have a diet that absorbs better, as athletes try to absorb absurd amounts of calories.

A larger person does have a higher base energy consumption, although this is not caused by inflammation - it's just that any tissue need energy. If this was not the case, even just a few kilocalories overeating would cause unbounded growth - instead, energy requirements for a person lie on a curve, and slight overeating for one body weight just means that you reach equilibrium at a slightly higher body weight, with any combination of food intake + activity + body composition having some (although possibly absurd) body mass equilibrium. Of course, being morbidly obese does introduce high risk of certain diseases that have an energy cost and waste (e.g., mismanaged diabetes and sugar in urine), but I consider that somewhat separate.

Caries in = calories out is a thermodynamic problem. Thermodynamics account for inefficient processes. If you take fewer calories in, it always means that your body will be doing less or taking its energy from elsewhere. The body has plenty of ways to do this, including reducing base metabolism at certain costs. The sheer number of backup plans the body has available for any particular function is fascinating, but they are generally all costlier than the primary ones.

However, do not let that deter you from exploring this further. Collecting data on health outcomes of human behaviors is almost impossible without massive datasets - can't exactly cage people up in labs to test them.
From Wikipedia:

An earworm or brainworm, also known as sticky music or stuck song syndrome, is a
catchy or memorable piece of music or saying that continuously occupies a
person's mind even after it is no longer being played or spoken about.

The word earworm is a calque from the German Ohrwurm. The earliest known English
usage is in Desmond Bagley's 1978 novel Flyaway, where the author points out the
German origin of his word.
