Here's some more reading about reversing type 2 diabetes naturally. The current paradigm that one requires chronic disease management for the rest of their life is entirely false.

"Although treating type 2 diabetes complications is of utmost importance to protect organ damage, it is now increasingly recognized that even the more ambitious goal of diabetes remission may be possible [6]. Thus, while there is little doubt that healthy lifestyle habits are the cornerstone of prevention of type 2 diabetes, they could also be used as an effective treatment to even potentially reverse type 2 diabetes. In this regard, the interesting narrative review published by Hallberg SJ and colleagues [7] has summarized the evidence that type 2 diabetes reversal is possible with the use of three different approaches: bariatric surgery, low-calorie diets and carbohydrate restriction."

Or rather late seating. Last year I got injured 1 day before flying and end up asking for assistance because I was alone with my kids and carrying a heavy hiking back pack while using crutches that I borrowed from family and were too small for me.

Airline just told us to sit in a chair next to the gate and they would call us and help us at the very end of the boarding phase. It was much more comfortable for me and my daughters to stay in the lounge in a comfy chair than boarding early and have to wait ages on a tiny economical seat while being sometimes smacked by other passengers bags and stuff while they were looking for their seat.
It has always been what I have observed (used to be a buy side analyst covering pharma among other things in a previous career) but good to see a big bank say so openly.

My favourite example is ulcer drugs. Big pharma has found many drugs to control it, lifelong, but a critical cure for many cases was found by doctors with limited funding https://duckduckgo.com/l/?uddg=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nobelprize....
When i read these implementations, one thing I think about is the British post office scandal, also known as Horizon IT scandal[1].

These technologies are probabilistic with some nonzero chances of error which can't always be easily detected. These are implemented by people with some knowledge of the tech used (and hopefully the understanding of error), but are to be used by people who expect the output to be 100% true. I do not know how they would deal with tech errors which do not look like errors, but feel like there should be more cognizance about this and expectations should be set accordingly. Same goes for any facial recognition tech deployed by authorities.

Or, California just needs to increase its battery storage capacity some more. (This week they announced storage systems now already have over 10,000 megawatts in capacity — "about 20% of the 52,000 megawatts the state says is needed to meet its climate goals.")

> Carmakers build what sells.

Eh, they build what makes them the most profit.

That's a much more complicated can of worms than what sells. It includes tax policy, rebates, financing rates, mileage standards, engine technology costs, etc.
I've heard from random podcasts (do your own research) you need to make sure you exercise, and perhaps eat high protein, while on drugs like this, otherwise you lose a ton of muscle mass. Could be deadly for seniors, where falls are a leading cause of death.

I drive a 3000lb Honda Fit. A 2002 Camry, which is a perfectly reasonable family sedan, tops out at about 3300lb. The 2024 is up to a beefy 3600.

The answer is none of your options, emphatically. I want to see extreme taxation (to the tune of the fourth-power of axle weight) and increases in liability for operating a vehicle over 3999lb.
Perhaps according to that. But my body fat percentage is only 26 according to the latest DEXA scan I took in February.

But smaller cars tend to have weaker brakes, and less weight that means less friction against the road in braking.

Brakes are "sized" for the car they're in. Bigger cars have more powerful brakes.

It would be a major safety issue if heavier cars couldn't brake as quickly as safety required.

So no, smaller cars don't have any general advantage in being able to stop earlier and therefore avoid accidents.

It’s not that there are no other interventions for obesity, it’s just that this is the cheapest and most effective.

If taxing sodas had the effect of reducing body weight by 1/3, then I’d be all for it.

But behavioral interventions are really hard to stick. The reason ozempic is taking off is that it works given the systemic issues we have.

It’s the equivalent of saying people shouldn’t take anti-depressant meds because we can just change systemic factors they cause depression.

We can do both, but it’s not like we’d discourage food deserts instead of ozempic. We need to do both. And cynically, I think ozempic will work to reduce obesity.
The article leads off with: "Frank C., a U.S. Army veteran, was admitted to Willard in 1946, at the age of 35. Following a single outburst at a restaurant in Flatbush, Brooklyn, he was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia."

Army vet, likely suffering from PTSD, gets involuntarily committed after a single incident in a restaurant. An injured soldier who had a bad day, not a homeless crazy.

Surely there a better third solution available here, somewhere between being involuntarily committed after being injured in service of your country, and being abandoned on the street after being injured in service of your country?

The problem is that the Community Mental Health Act closed the giant asylums without actually providing the funding for the promised local mental health treatment centers. So instead treating people in any way, we abandon them on the streets.

What would have been cheaper, funding the community mental health treatment centers by paying higher taxes, or dealing the the societal costs of widespread homelessness, unemployment, and substance abuse?

Once the world is annihilated, where does it land? What do the occupants do? Such a strange concept.

I agree with your general point that it should not be the responsibility of the website to change to make a search engine happy.

I disagree with your specific point that Google should fix anything. Google can choose their own behaviors and motivations. Users can choose to rely on Google or trust them at all, or not.

Remember when Google was a successful business competing against the likes of Yahoo and AltaVista? Back when it was ok to be a successful small business? When you didn't count a millions users as a failure?

Nobody seems to believe anymore that you can operate a successful search company without having a trillion dollar war chest. Few people are willing to give alternative engines a try. They'd rather stick to Google like glue.

I'd like to declare the 28th as "Try something different day." On the 28th of each month people should try a different browser for the entire day. Or a different search engine. Or a different tooth paste. Every month, one day a month, take a different route to work, or maybe even a different mode of transportation. Use a Colemak keyboard. Go to a different church. You don't have to do the same different thing each month. Just start building some experience with shaking up your routine.

When you try something different and it turns out ok, share your positive experience with others.

I have not used Google search or Bing for years and it has worked out pretty well. I started with DDG, but have had good experiences with other search engines, too. Some may argue that DDG is not different enough. So perhaps next month I should try qwant.com for a day.
Isn't the worry that Ozempic is only "effective and save" as far as all the other weight loss drugs being utter predatory bullshit ?

Last time I looked into it the "loss" is only happening while taking the medication and you get back to normal once you stop, regardless of how long you’ve been taking it. So if stabilizing at a thinner state is your goal, the drug would be mostly useless or you should be ready to take the rest of your life.

Going only a tad too far, it feels like recomming meth for its energizing and diet effects, that's not something we want at wide scale.

Most dietary changes fail, I don't think that's a good example actually.

In any case, yes I have, but the only time it has worked was when I changed my environment (stopped slouching at home bored with a full pantry) and my impulses (filled my days with activities so that boredom hunger wouldn't strike). Only changing one would make me last a couple of weeks max

What about safety? I have an ebike too similar to yours, I bring both my kids (it requires some serious efforts on steep hills with both kids though), but I fell down once in the rain that gave me a decent scare, especially since my wrist is taking so long to recover and I could have hurt my daughter (lucky, nothing happened)
That's not the case in Europe though. Lots of people in Europe have exactly two preferences when purchasing a vehicle: low price, and good fuel economy. All of Europe's best selling cars in 2022[1] fit either or both of those criteria. Europe has a strongly revealed culturally-ingrained preference towards economical cars.

Yeah, we had a very compact car. Drove my firstborn home from the hospital in it, surrounded by monster vehicles. Then traded it for a (smallish) SUV.

The Sci-Fi Writer Who Invented Conspiracy Theory
Both of your examples are stateful systems from the outside, given a suitable choice of timeframe, the latter one is just how purely functional systems represent state. Theoretically they can simulate each other, and the endpoint you use to access Actor will still reference the latest Actor. The only reason you're calling them different is because you insist on using a specific timeframe to exclude considering one as stateful, and I'm pointing out that that isn't strictly necessary.

I'm not aware of any plans to do so, not least because while cards have overtaken Oyster for pay as you go, Oyster season tickets / travel cards still remains a very significant use case. As do free / discounted children Oyster cards.

Neither has a credit/debit-card based viable solution at present that'd be tolerable.
Yeah, I've been wondering if any of this is coming from Texas grid operators behaving hostilely toward renewable power?

"State utility regulators shot down efforts by ERCOT to impose new rules on large-scale battery sites, siding with operators who decried the grid operator’s rules as costly and discriminatory. The unanimous decision by the Public Utility Commission of Texas came after five months... It was touched off by a report from the grid operator intended to show grid-level batteries were unreliable without stricter rules. Texas battery operators, seven of which wrote letters ahead of the meeting opposing all or parts of the proposal, weren’t the only ones not buying it..."

The big deal I'm assuming is the ability to fold. An ebike requires a surprisingly complex parking spot, because it needs to be secured, more so than a car. It's a giant pain. I wish I could use bike everywhere.

Many Google layoffs were just teams shutting down and employees had 2-3 months to team match.

This is the type of article I find useless.

It would be great if Eaton went to the trouble to explain what exact conditions the two UPSes need to fulfill to be successfully daisy chained, which would probably put people away from doing it anyway.

But it would also be a much more informative article, and also positively framed, which is always a much better read.
that seems unconstitutional and also terrible precedent to set. why do any research if you can just piggyback on others?

Oh, and also, if I choose to permanently live in the UK, or EU, the path to citizenship is deterministic with a known timeline.

> Carmakers build what sells.

This is only true when carmakers are sufficiently experimenting and letting customers decide what sells, but when they all make extremely similar products in each category, it isn’t true. For examples look at the truck category - in North America at least, there is effectively no way to get a truck that is not loaded with electronics and silly features as the makers stopped competing on anything else. There is no “light weight, utilitarian build” truck that can be bought. And magically they all have super high hoods and massive interiors.

The same is true in every category I have looked at.

Yep. Sounds like you have true 3-phase service, whereas most places in the US just get split-phase.
I think the tourists argument is rapidly fally, but not children (though they are available in the UK via providers like Go Henry). Credit/debit cards also won't solve the season-ticket issue.

The overwhelming sentiment is still negative towards Texas and it's energy management decisions from many people who you'd assume cared the most about efficient energy generation and it's effects on the earth. It turns out Texas is ahead in a lot of trends that are related to efficient energy usage, but for mostly practical reasons in combination with a willingness to try something new -- and people seem to have a very "not like that???" attitude.

That said, investing more in the infrastructure is something that seems to have been put on hold/not addressed appropriately in the past in Texas so the Houston Chronicle running a story to bring this to the forefront doesn't rub me the wrong way either.

> Ryan Quint, a former NERC engineer who was the primary author on nearly all of the organization’s reports on the issue, is now a consultant working with Clearway Energy, one of the developers. In comments to ERCOT, Quint wrote that nearly 90% of the resources can address their issues with commercially reasonable fixes such as software upgrades, including the vast majority of solar issues in both of the Odessa events.

So just a little software is holding Texas back? Well that's gotta be inexpensive! What could software cost these days -- surely a couple 100k engineers and a month or two?

(the above line is a joke)

In all seriousness though, I do wonder if the unreasonable distribution of talented engineers to... trivial (but profitable) pursuits negatively effects some more nuts-and-bolts industries like this.
> Money is not the issue - getting access to production lines is

You don’t think having the heft of the U.S. government behind one of those parties will help with that access?
> Invert this point ("SUV or a pickup colliding with a smaller car was 28 percent and 159 percent, respectively, more likely to kill that car’s driver.") to get that one is less likely to die in a big vehicle.

That's not how inversions work. If you're in a small car and get into a collision with a large truck, you're likely to die. But if you're in a truck and get into a collision with another large truck, you're still likely to die, because you still got hit by a truck. Meanwhile truck collisions are more likely given the same drivers because they have more surface area which provides less margin to avoid an impact.

If they hit someone who had a green or walk signal, I don't know what happens to them, but it doesn't seem to be enough of a deterrent.
How does that work with paper tickets then? Couldn't you do the same thing of buying a cheap ticket then stepping onto an expensive train? Or is there paper ticket infra that's rolled out everywhere to prevent this?
Go low-tech.

Indoor plants can bring your indoor CO2 levels way lower than ambient (which I submit is way healthier than ambient).

Devote 10% of your interior planview space to indoor plants. This used to be commonplace in the 20th century and for some reason just lost popularity.
That's the same thing said with more words.
Don’t worry, that’s probably one of the real reasons for 100 camera systems. As someone else pointed out, you don’t need 100 cameras to act as a policy enforcement and deterrence, but if you wanted to get constant surveillance of vehicles and people movements, recorded in public, you would want 100+ systems.

You can’t (currently) ticket people for crimes like speeding, but you can use it to ticket for other non-criminal violations like other parking violations, i.e., replacing meter maids.

> Make it harder to life an unhealthy lifestyle

Well, and that's exactly what these drugs do: they either make you uninterested in processed foods or make you ill if you consume them. Considering how many people's dietary habits are formed in childhood, and considering how many people learn dietary habits from their parents, I could see GLP-1 agonists having a generational effect where the children of people who take them never get hooked on bad food to begin with.

Although for what it's worth, you're absolutely right about food deserts and income, I sadly just don't see those things getting tackled head-on unless political winds in the US shift dramatically. On the other hand, making junk food less profitable to its creators might actually force some change, as backwards as that is.

It's the tariffs making americans buy SUVs, european cars are too expensive!

Then they complain that a tax increase on SUV owners in DC was opposed?

They clearly don't want Americans to have cheaper cars - just force people to use the cars they think are 'correct'. Gotta save the environment, who cares about the consumer?
My point is that it could use 2l/100km if that would be the optimization target. Golf 8 is nowadays a few classes above what the Golf 1 was. It's also a rather big car compared to the Golf 1.
Let’s say I do have two UPSs lying around though, and a soldering iron.
There's also the fact that consumer surge protectors are incapable of determining if they're any good or not. There's a small component in there that eats the surge--a severe surge and it's destroyed, it's obvious. However, there's a range in which it no longer functions but is not destroyed. The next surge goes on down the wire.

I really wish someone would come up with some surge suppressors that have a string of field-replaceable suppressors. Periodic maintenance, replace the suppressors.
Do you see the US government wanting to disrupt these industries, many of which are political donors?
