They talk about the people achieving full mental capacity with less sleep, but are there any studies on physical recovery in people with FNSS? Do they also experience improved rate of exercise recovery and muscle growth during sleep?
From biochemical similarities, the chirality of certain sugars and amino acids, dna similarities, etc. the evidence for a single common ancestor of all life on Earth is fairly strong; however we don't really have evidence that there never were other lifes that simply were outcompeted at their very early stages.
The seeds of life, but the next step, their germination so to speak, is the hard part. All life on Earth is part of one grand tree, so out of those billions of years the step from complex organic molecules to life only was completed successfully once as far as we can tell.
The whey isolate is also a super processed food product. I think the key is to ask "why was this processed?" Whey isolate is processed to make it easier to get quick digesting protein, Doritos are processed to make them more addictive, more shelf stable, and cheaper to produce; only one of these products will contribute to a tendency to overeat.
The amount of "processing" or "chemicals" is a red herring and it really comes down to prepared meals and snacks that have been engineered to make people want to eat more of them. We've gotten so good at this that it seems to override the natural hunger/satiety system which causes people to gain weight.
I eat a mostly vegetarian diet with lots of protein, massive amounts of sugar in the form of fresh fruit, and lots of whole grains.
They knew which configuration would be sent for the tests because IIHS required it be the most "commonly sold" config, so they picked a specific supercrew model that made up about 70% of their sales to bump up the safety on.
Another thing I forgot to mention about consumer preference is in amplifier design. Consumers prefer overall loudness over absolute fidelity, so Class D stereo amps are what's available.
I'm surprised the "Actual vehicle tested may be different" section didn't mention the alleged fraud Ford engaged in with the 2015 F150 where they welded in extra crash safety bars only on specific configurations out of the factory... that just happened to be the exact configurations that were being sent to the IIHS for crash testing.
The physics of building a speaker have changed very little over the last several decades and companies give consumers what they want. Unfortunately for people that want great audio most consumers these days want smaller sizes and sub $500 price points so that's what the market is currently full of. There are some good options out there but not as many as in the past. Consumers want $100-200 soundbars so that's what there are hundreds of.
Sadly I think the most cost-conscious way to get truly great quality audio these days is to buy/restore used vintage equipment. There isn't really as much of a market for high end but still affordable for mere mortals audio equipment as there was in the past. Prior to the invention and proliferation of home video playback which started in the late 70s and later the proliferation of home video game consoles people used to spend most of their home entertainment budget on audio equipment. The budget you'd set aside for buying a large TV, a few game consoles, etc. instead would be spent on a stereo so there was a much bigger market for audio equipment in what would be the $1-4k in today's dollars range.
Personally I use a set of big box speakers made by Bozak in 1958.
So now they get to sell way lower end products with their newly purchased McIntosh logo slapped on with a huge markup! Everybody wins except the consumer!
This seems silly, a Hello World package benefits no one. Programmers make the conscious decision about whether they're developing a program or a library and not everything is suited to a library. Why would a game developer want to allow you to import their game as a package?
My takeaway was that Han's problems were intrinsically tied to the both the architecture and code in ways that made it difficult for others to contribute and fix. The artist's influence on the art caused its ultimate demise.
It's funny that this phrase has had such staying strength, while the key word in it, "powerhouse," has fallen out of fashion. The more modern American English way to phrase it would be "the power plant of the cell."
So if a sweet spot exists where dedup is widely beneficial then:
Is there an easy way to analyze your dataset to find if you're in this sweet spot?
If so, is anyone working on some kind of automated partial dedup system where only portions of the filesystem are dedupped based on analysis of how beneficial it would be?
Sort of meta-question: why do nutrition takes from grifters and quacks like this spread so well particularly among the Hacker News community while I see few articles about normal science-based nutrition?
When I dip below around 8%ish my appetite goes through the roof, all self control goes out the window to the all consuming signaling in my brain to eat eat eat
Note that body fat percentage is notoriously difficult to accurately measure. The linked calculator uses the navy circumference method which gives readings ±3-4 points for most people and even further off for some. It gives me 3.5% which would be insanely low (I'm probably somewhere around 8-10 right now) because I have an unusually wide neck. To get more accurate readings you'd have to pay for a DEXA scan or a bodpod but even those can be off by a couple points.
But it seems that progress requires innovation, and some innovations will fail while others will succeed, driving the "evolution" of technology a la survival of the fittest. Ideally anyways, as just with real evolution "fittest" doesn't always line up with our human perception of "best".
This is a pretty good idea but I feel like it exposes some of the shortcomings in our modern UI stack and file browsers. Users using the tools the OS provides to solve problems like this should be encouraged, however the separation between the file browser UI and the web browser UI feels like it creates a certain amount of inertia to using such a solution. If my UI had enough customizability that I could easily do something like attach a slide out drawer of a file browser view to my web browser windows, I feel like I'd be much more free to experiment with mixing and matching the various tools at my disposal and using my own solutions to problems like this.
