dalore··on Court: Suspicionless Searches of Travelers’ Phones and Laptops Unconstitutional
From the article:

> But the problem with that argument, the appeals court ruled, is that courts have long held that police cannot be on the hook for property damage caused in the process of trying to make an arrest.

dalore··on It’s Okay to Store Data in Apache Kafka (2017)
If you consider the log streams as backups then GDPR doesn't apply.

According to France's GDPR supervisory authority, CNIL, organisations don't have to delete backups when complying with the right to erasure. Nonetheless, they must clearly explain to the data subject that backups will be kept for a specified length of time (outlined in your retention policy).

You can do it in chrome dev tools. Just pick which one or put a custom one in.

Not very conflicting at all. Harvard nutrition is known for it's conflicting ties to industry like Monsanto. They even have a fellowship. Once you see it in that, light it's safe to ignore most of the noise coming from Harvard.

The recent red meat study was a very rigorous one (as they knew people would try unpick it).

How is anyway a frozen steak classified as processed?

Processed food, as explained, would be the industrial processing of bleaching the flour etc.

Also the seed oils which are used is highly processed.

Yes you can make a non processed pizza. Use real ingredients.

Yes the term processed is irksome, so use real food. Real food is easy to identify. It's food we good eat and make easily before the industrial age.

You can define real food as non processed food with minimal (usual one) ingredient. Pizza is usually made from processed flour.

Animal products have more active and bio available nutrients than plants. Eat nose to tail, why not include liver? There is nothing you can't get from animal products that you get from plants. One can, and people do live on meat alone. But you can't live on plant alone.
dalore··on Obesity Is Weighing on Education, Productivity and the Economy
Low carb is the only diet know to reverse diabetes. Previously type 2 diabetes was thought uncurable and only a managed disease. But Dr Unwin has been helping to change NHS policy and reverse type 2 diabetes. Over 60 patients to date!

https://www.diabetes.co.uk/in-depth/whats-at-the-heart-of-he...

We know the cause of diabetes, it's elevated insulin over time. We know what elevates insulin, it's carbohydrates. We know fat doesn't raise insulin.

That website, nutritionfacts.org is quite wrong in several places. I read some of the articles, it's not that good I'd avoid it.

> A whole food plant-based diet is the best diet identified by science so far in terms of treating obesity

Citation?

I think the best diet science has identified in treating obesity is cutting out processed foods. Whether it's processed plant or animal food.

Heart disease and diabetes comes from sugar and carbs, all of which are plant based.

Yes you can survive, and I did say people have lived off animal products. There are no vegans cultures from hundreds or thousands years ago. The vegetarians still had to consume animal products to get nutrients.

You don't have to eat the cow, but it would be a waste to give it to the dogs when it dies. And you would thrive more if you did eat it.

Vegetables are getting less and less nutritious as the topsoil is being ripped off with each harvest. We only have about 60 left https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/only-60-years-of-...

And comparing nutrients, animal products have far more, in better format, and more available then vegetables. For example liver is about 20 times more nutritious than fruit by weight.

Vegetables have less nutrients than meat. They are also in a less bioavailable form, so not as easy absorb. The link to cancer is from association studies which have confounders. A big recent meta analysis of these studies have shown that the reduction in risk for not eating meat is not worth it.

One can live on pure animal product alone and not need any supplements, yet one can't do the reverse. If you eat only plant food you must consume supplements.

There are plenty of nutrients found in meat and not found in plants.

B12 is the big supplement not found in plant foods, and the supplement was invented in 60s. So no true vegans could exist until then. Vegetarians existed, but they ate some animal products.

Plants also have no Vitamin A, only carotenoids which is difficult for our bodies to convert to Vitamin A.

The vitamin D found in plants is inferior to the vitamin D in meat. Most of us don't get enough sun for adequate vitamin D.

Vitamin K2 is also severely lacking in plants.

Heme iron is also only found in animal products. You need heme iron. For most people iron overload is not a worry, you need some genetic disposition to absorb extra iron.

We can't eat grass like a cow, but we can eat that cow.

You've made some claims without an examples. Can you give me an example of nutrients that are found in plants and not in animals?

Also the definition of an "essential nutrient" is a nutrient that we can't synthesise ourselves in our bodies. So no we can't make any essential nutrient because that's the very definition of the phrase.

Of course a huge steak would help, that is real food, not like the pizza and soda. Steak is healthy don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
dalore··on Dog Ownership and Survival
So how do you explain the 35% risk reduction for people who just live with a dog, not owners? Owners had a smaller risk reduction.
dalore··on Apple Hides Taiwan Flag in Hong Kong
This type of localization/internationalization is common place. I remember doing locale files that contained timezones for Nokia phones for Hebrew and Arabic. Notable the Hebrew files didn't contain Palestine for example. China didn't have Taiwan etc.
dalore··on Summer heat killed nearly 1,500 in France, officials say
It doesn't make sense to have AC preparedness when it's only used for 1 week out of a year.

Also the environmental impact of everyone having an AC, that's not good.

In France and the UK hardly any has an AC because it's not really needed. Your suggestion is that they spend billions of dollars for this? Who buys everyone the AC?

I lived in PNG which is near the equator and hot. It's not the temperature that's the true problem, but humidity. We stayed cool by using the fan, resting, removing clothing, swimming.

Survivorship bias. Those that discovered a way lived on to tell about it. Those that did not, died.
dalore··on Why All of Our Games Look Like Crap
You say they, but it's only one guy as explained. It's not that he sees art direction as a waste of resources, he sees it as a risk to his future. To expend resources in the art direction he would have to hire more people, and try and ensure the same art style. Which would mean he would need more sales. Plus he would have to upfront these expenses and he might not make it back.

It's an extra risk he doesn't want to his lifestyle that has worked for him for 25 years.

How much TV does the average person watch? Around 4 hours daily. If you only watch Netflix then it's easy to get 1-2 hours a day. That's only 2 shows a day.

Buy a car in the UK now have these special loans where it's not a lease, not a purchase but somewhere in the middle. You buy the car but you can't drive it more than X miles a year. And after a few years you have to pay a lump sum to have the car or give it back. So it's kind of like that.

dalore··on Netflix’s biggest bingers get hit with higher internet costs
I don't think you use a lot of bandwith, seeing as you never had a complaint.

I had a complaint from plusnet that I was in the top 1% of downloaders. I complained back that there will always be a top 1% of downloaders even when you get rid of them as that's how percentages work.

dalore··on Upgrade your cargo cult for the win (2017)
No where in the article does it mention New Guinea island. New Guinea is also not a country but an island with 2 countries. The eastern half is PNG (Papua New Guinea). Whilst the western half is owned by Indonesia.

What makes you so sure they are talking about New Guinea island with the term stupid savages?

Cargo-culting happened in all of Melanesia. I can't see any reference to cargo cults in west of New Guinea island. A few mentions of it in PNG, etc.

dalore··on How I tried to compete with YouTube and Google with Livevideo.com
Yes, MySpace wasn't making any money if I recall and so had no real business plan. Sounds like the same like the guy complaining. They don't have real business plans to make money except an exit strategy to sell it to someone else. Their revenue was going to come from adsense? And he's complaining about google cutting him off. He should have been thinking how to make money, like his own adsense.

He thinks that News Corp should have paid more for myspace? Because they got so much value from it.
