OK! I was under the impression that it had tangible health benefits like better cardio-vascular health regardless of diet, better well-being/mood.

In other words, I assumed that IF is not just good for weight-loss or weight maintenance.

I read a lot of good things about intermittent fasting. Is there a good canonical resource if I want to try it?

Note that I am lifting weighs 3 times per week. Is IF still a good idea...?

I don't feel confident that this is something that I can lift with my GP, as it is not part of their standard set of guidelines (?)

Makes sense, thank you!

I am not trying to come across as patronizing, but the US is, in my opinion, the greatest country in the history of the world.

I am sorry that you feel that way about your country as a fellow human (I am not being sarcastic), but my positive view on American exceptionalism has nothing to do with you personally, just your culture.

Independently of where one stands politically, we Swedes are lucky that our government can import expensive medical treatments from large evil US corporations that do the work for us.

What is this a reference to?

Reading materials.

Are there other good business resources like this for tech entrepreneurs?

Is a ton of people really leaving Twitter? It seems more like a political statement by certain people (that's not necessarily acted upon).

Do you think tech employees have ever been treated too good? This is the reality for a lot of working adults.

Elon Musk would probably suck as a middle manager for the reasons you state. And probably as the big boss too.

I believe his opinions are correct. But I wouldn't necessarily want to work for him. He is a machine.

What do these presumably highly-paid C++ developers work with exactly? And what is their background? How much do they make in London?

I have a degree in mathematics, am ~36 years old, but only worked as a web dev.

I'm thinking about taking courses in mathematical statistics or physics. I want to "get out" of web dev. This type of job would be a huge step up for me. Just unsure how to begin a career change...

Thanks, I'll definitely bookmark this page

What advice can you give on becoming better at small talk?

I lost 35 kgs since February this year, up until now in October. I want to lose 10 kgs more, then I'll have 10% body fat and will look fit.

Yes, it's all about ability to self-regulate.

"We" have freedom of speech, sure. There is however a high degree of self-censurship in my humble opinion.

Sweden is not the type of country that I would dare voicing my opinion in. It's simply not worth it.

How would that contractually work in practice? Can you give an example of what you mean?

Can anyone recommend a good book/primer on "concurrency models" (is that a term?) for a self-taught programmer?

While I am self-taught, I'm used to (academic) books that strive for completeness. It is also what I prefer. Rather than something more pragmatic like a blog post.

It doesn't mean I want to read overly complicated prose on the subject, which I'm sure is possible.

Why are you insulted by such a claim if you know it's naive and false?

Any good resources for anything related to nutrition, cooking, and a healthy lifestyle? Backed by science.

There's a podcast by David Sinclair available on YouTube for example.

Would like to find a community around these topics without it turning into a unhealthy obsession.

I've lost maaany kilos this year, and I _basically_ don't know how to cook properly.

"It has been found in studies from Europe, Scandinavia, [...]"

Is it common to differentiate between Scandinavia and Europe like this?

Is it legal to parodise in an official document (?) to the US Supreme Court like this?

So where can I read up on how modern central banking actually works?

Like, what book(s) or curriculum do I need to study?

Genuine question.

Great initiative! Yes, such a post please.

If I say: Then attention becomes more valuable under Capitalism, so a siginficant portion of people will choose to have low screen time? Think of a "Deep Work" Movement or so.

I don't intend the above to be read as a would-be theorem in economics ("if-then"), I just want to know how you reason here.

Is it common for children to have imaginary friends in general?

Thank you! I'll make sure to check these out first.

I want to self-learn physics from scratch. I have a degree in mathematics, but my understanding of physics is embarrasingly shallow.

Is Fundamentals of Physics by Halliday et al a good starting point for me?

> I'm a huge geek, with mental health symptoms that could be mistaken for autism and ADHD but are actually due to trauma from having terrible parents who I removed from my life decades ago.

I have a similar background. Can I email you?

Reminds me of French philosopher René Girard's (whom Peter Thiel talks much about) mimetic theory:

Setting up regular 1:1s just to chat sounds good. Though if I were new at a company, I'd feel forced to have a work-related/productive reasons to schedule these meetings...

What do you title these 1:1s so that your coworkers will accept them, and so that your manager won't lift and eyebrow?
