Leaving starchy foods to rest for a decent amount of time after cooking results in some amount of the starch converting into “resistant starch” which the body can’t convert into glucose. So a given portion will be less blood glucose spiking than a portion that hasn’t had that rest.

The overall effect is modest though, the whole thing doesn’t turn into resistant starch. It makes it better, but I don’t think it would make a big portion of potatoes suddenly safe for a diabetic.

IMHO you're overthinking it.

It is as simple as a mismatch in situational awareness.

First: When the GP said 13,000 containers, I presume that's TEU (twenty-foot equivalent unit). A double-stack rail car holds 4 TEU. That means that you only (!) need 3,250 cars to replace the ship. That's a really long train.

What's perhaps more reasonable is to replace it with maybe 20 trains. You could maybe run such trains on a 10-minute headway, so 6 trains an hour, so 3 1/3 hours.

That's to replace one ship.

But it's also if you only have a single track rail line. You could build N parallel tracks along the same route. (This is far more reasonable than trying to build something where you can stack the containers 10 high or something, and then wide enough that it would be stable, and then you have to worry about the load-bearing ability of the track.)

But even if you build all those tracks, then you have the problem of unloading the ship at one end, and reloading a different ship at the other end. You can build enough tracks to get any rate you need, but can you get the load/unload speed?
the thermal cycling causes resistant starches to form. actually you are best off heating/cooling it twice, and minimizing the extra water content. instead of being broken down into sugars they get fermented into fatty acids deeper in the gut. pasta is eligible for this effect too idk how the final starch compositions vary between them tho.

> For Taubes, dietary fat wasn’t a problem at all. Instead, the real danger was carbohydrate, he asserted, sparking a backlash, and fuelling the ongoing conversation about what constitutes a “healthy diet”

I've successfully lost 80 pounds in the past year after 10 years of yoyo dieting with low carb and counting calories. I did not become a healthy weight until I was counting calories on a HIGH CARB and HIGH PROTEIN diet and doing a significant amount of exercise 6 days a week. Meaning, 1 gram of protein per pound of lean body mass, 1 gram of fat per 1/3rd of your weight in pounds and as many carbs that fit in your calorie budget and at least 30 grams of fiber.

Note, I'm not giving advice to people with diabetes but the reason there are so many people with metabolic disease in this country is not carbs. It's lack of exercise (and walking) and processed high calorie food. Those french fries you are avoiding, the reason they have so many calories is not because of carbs, it's because of fat.

If you want to lose weight and you plan to also exercise, going low carb will hamstring you. The difference between running in the morning fasted and running after eating a single banana is the difference between feeling like you are being tortured and being able bounce around like a bunny.

I was literally lying in bed all day with 0 mental energy on my diet because I went low carb. I failed my diet 3 times over 10 years because I believed the low carb bullshit. Go look around at how many people successfully lose weight, they all believe the same low carb stupidity.

I'm running 30 miles a week and lifting 6 days a week, if I went low carb I would be tired in bed all day. If you don't have diabetes or some other metabolic disease, don't go low carb.

I don't think I understand your argument. Your claim was that if someone wasn't already racist and xenophobic, then their epiphanies about that subject on psychedelics is irrelevant. However, a very common experience people have on psychedelics is the feeling that everything, including the entirety of humanity, is part of the same thing, and that anything other than love for all of it comes from an artificially limited perspective. I think that's extremely relevant to having a different perspective on racism and xenophobia and their absurdity, even if the person wasn't racist and xenophobic going in.

Does that NuPhy QMK codebase include the wireless code, or are they doing the old trick of running QMK on one microcontroller and the wireless stack on a separate microcontroller? QMK has very limited wireless support so AFAIK wireless QMK boards usually use the dual MCU arrangement, and the wireless MCU firmware is probably still closed even if they release their QMK source.

The post makes sense and is good.

> Lossless ones are basically just ZIP,

Let's go down one more level of abstraction, it's crucial for understanding why it's byte-level patterns: Deflate, not ZIP. See http://www.libpng.org/pub/png/spec/1.2/PNG-Compression.html.

> image compression algorithms are generally terrible at finding patterns.

The core of deflate is pattern recognition, inter alia:

- Duplicate series of bytes (a pattern of repeated bytes in series).

- Huffman coding (a pattern of high frequency repeated bytes that could be replaced by another repeated byte string)

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflate

> There are certain patterns that PNG can efficiently detect, like repeating pixels from the line above

PNG uses deflate. General byte-level patterns. It does not do bespoke image-specific stuff.

> This is certainly entirely explained by the chosen (in this case, default) compression level of the ZIP file and PNG files.

Probably.

Unlike a railway train, trucks operating in fleets assemble and disassemble easily, without stopping, when their routes converge or diverge. They also can operate with a number of other vehicles between them.

Rails are a more efficient interface to wheels, but also more demanding, and less flexible. 10-lane freeways are widespread, but most railways have two pairs of rails at best, and one pair in many places. You can't effectively use them without strict scheduling.
Ya, 787 quality issues have been publicized for a few years now, especially at the South Carolina facility. I also remember the DoD temporarily stopping deliveries of planes from Being due to quality, possibly last year or the year before.
They mandate a way to view the backup camera. I suppose at that point it incentivizes auto makers to add additional functionality to that screen. There is only so much room on the dash after all.

I'd also be surprised to learn auto makers aren't doing this sort of thing because it tends to sell better. Similar situation to phones getting larger every year despite some segment crying for smaller phones.

Ah I misread your comment — thought you were suggesting measuring A1C at home, which wouldn’t get you anything. Re-reading, you definitely meant measure blood glucose itself.

I do wonder if A1C remains a useful metric though, as perhaps it better captures the actual damage done by consistently high blood glucose. Would be interesting to see if there is research showing that CGM area under the curve is a better (or worse) predictor of clinical outcomes than A1C.

I believe they meant "not searchable from an external search engine", which is a serious issue in many people's view (including mine). I would also suggest that it's a problem that chats are not browsable, because if you're new to a particular problem, you may not know what keywords you need to search for. With a forum, there are categories you can browse and usually discover the keywords you need much easier.
> Truck or cars are not strictly required to operate in all conditions in the current system: roads, entire freeways close when the conditions demand. Or demand that vehicles stop and put on chains. There is precedent.

I think you're confusing things. Weather changes midway anyone's drive, and all drivers are required to drive safely and reliably even during sudden extreme meteorological events.

For a road to be closed, it takes an administrative action that reflects a decision that's largely arbitrary. Until a third party makes that decision, any driver is required to drive safely and reliability, regardless of the weather.
If someone who wasn’t racist says they took LSD and found themselves one with all races, and ended up continuing to not be racist, that doesn’t tell me in any way that LSD is “great” for dismantling racism.

All I’m saying is that if someone is to make extraordinary claims “this drug is great against racism”, they should be able to back it up with more than “well I wasn’t racist before, and I’m still not, and besides we’re all one so why would someone else be?”

There’s outdoor cats and there’s indoor cats. Some cats thrive being inside and love it, others are miserable when inside and will frequently try to escape.

I agree that they’re mini serial killers and have an impact on local ecosystems, but let’s be honest, in most cities, the local ecosystem is just full of invasives (rats, pigeons etc.).

Ultimately look at what your cat prefers and let it do what it wants. That’s the only way to ensure longevity.

Not entirely. 3rd-party search engines still can't reach these, thus reducing discoverability.
That would essentially be a virtual road train. It's a great solution because you can reduce the distance between the trucks, which improves the fuel efficiency - especially for European-style trucks.

The problem is that they are an absolute nightmare when it comes to highway merging. You really don't want third-parties in-between elements of the convoy, so it essentially becomes a single really long vehicle for merging purposes. On most highways that's simply not a realistic option.

Is that because the generation is nuclear and hydroelectric and so lower cost than natural gas like Alberta?
It depends on which traffic rules you are watching for. Car drivers are vastly more likely to break speed limit rules than bike riders are; in fact it's a minority of drivers I see who don't break speed limit rules (which leaves me wondering why they are still considered to be rules at all, in a supposedly democratic society; but that's another conversation) while it's a rare bike rider who is even capable of the athletics necessary to do so.
> However, they are based on the unproven assumption that no two fingerprints, even from different fingers of the same person, are alike. This renders them useless in scenarios where the presented fingerprints are from different fingers than those on record. Contrary to this prevailing assumption, we show above 99.99% confidence that fingerprints from different fingers of the same person share very strong similarities. Using deep twin neural networks to extract fingerprint representation vectors, we find that these similarities hold across all pairs of fingers within the same person, even when controlling for spurious factors like sensor modality. We also find evidence that ridge orientation, especially near the fingerprint center, explains a substantial part of this similarity, whereas minutiae used in traditional methods are almost nonpredictive.

Interesting. I actually had assumed that your fingerprints weren't like each other, and so your pinky couldn't be matched to your index finger, say. Apparently not.
Potatoes have a GI of about 70, comparable to white rice or white bread (pure glucose is 100). So pretty bad.

The “potato diet” will only lead to weight loss if you’re eating fewer calories than you’re expending, same as anything else. You could eat nothing but bacon grease and you’d lose weight if you were eating below maintenance.
