I'm not sure I can follow the math, but as presented in the article posted, the explanation doesn't really persuade me. They seem to explain it as a conflict of two opposing factors, some cells slowing down and losing function vs. others accelerating and proliferating eventually becoming a Cancer, so defending against one necessarily promotes the other. Then again there are other multi-cellular organisms that live longer than us [1] which should serve as evidence that there are ways to live that much longer
LOL yes, it seems they've found a way to game it. There's still the smell test, I hope. The point still stands, it's easy to tell by the pink color when tuna has been frozen.
"Superfreezing is a relatively new technology that was developed in the 1990’s that drops the core temperature of a 500 pound tuna to minus 70 degrees below zero."
Found this part interesting. I worked for a short while in fisheries in the mid to late 90s, and graded fish for Sushi. There/then fish was iced, not frozen, as soon as captured to slow their metabolism, reduce any after-effects of stress, a cut is made so they also bleed, and die faster and as peacefully as possible. They are kept long enough to allow for rigor mortis (I guess what this article refers to aging), so when it ends it results in soft, melts-in-your-mouth meat. But no, not frozen, not for the "No. 1" destined for best clients. Lesser (cheaper) restaurants yes, frozen, older, lower quality fish.
This article refers to the US, and yes most of it is far, far away from the coast, and only way is to freeze it to distribute it such long distances. Unless flown in, obviously making the product much more expensive. So sure, as title says "Most sushi fish isn't fresh". In the same way, most sushi isn't the best sushi. And in many cases it doesn't really matter, if you want a quick and still yummy meal.
For tuna you can readily tell, even if you haven't trained your sense of smell, by the color. Most tuna here in the US you can see it a matte pink, instead of deep, alive, blood-like red, and you know right away it's been frozen.
Anyway, it seems to me the article gives the idea that freshness doesn't matter at all for sushi. I disagree.
I have to apologize. What actually came to mind was that I know some probably couldn't make the mental leap to again divide by the other factor when they see the multiplication symbol there as written, then reaching for the calculator. I totally see now how it appears I was attempting to be condescending, sorry.
LOL why bother with a calculator? 16 ÷ 8 easy! I always think of RPN as somewhat akin to using VIM (editor), once you learn it, it becomes unconscious, automatic. I for one don't see how the RPN form relies "on a more extensive cook".
Right, where RPN really shines is in more complex operations where other calculators need parenthesis to group sub-operations, whereas you can just push stuff up the stack, and it in turn can be rolled, swapped… definitely a nerds' tool of choice
Sadly in Phoenix you'll find the streets entirely free of people year-round. Even when the weather is nice (Oct-Apr). I am one who walks, and often wonder if I'm just crazy when I notice I'm pretty much the only human not inside a car just walking about. I also not wonder but know it's true when I realize that hey, it really is too damn hot some days and being outside is just nuts.
And there are, of course, counter-examples: el águila, el ala. I believe the rule should just be "it sounds right", as to say "la águila" is well, a third 'a' in there, two or them consecutive, and is just harder to even pronounce.
> …but I was very surprised to find a Chinese-Mexican restaurant in Florida…
Here in AZ there's Chino Bandido that attempts this fusion, and many seem to like it. Personally I, a mexican, was not particularly impressed. On the other hand I thoroughly enjoy the Jap-Mex Sushirrito. Then again the whole of Mexican food here in the US is at least somewhat americanized too.
What Science is making is a new reality for which our ethical and legal frameworks may not be best suited, and we need to ask ourselves questions about how best to address the inadequacies of our current standards. It's not enough to just throw our arms up and say "views obsolete", they have after all served us well for the entirety of history. Yes we need to reconsider them now, so… "questions remain".

You're obviously peddling the phone (your username, 2-hrs-old account). But I want to know, how you have Android 7 on the G4? mine has 6.0.1 and there are no pending updates. Other than that, very happy with this phone.
That's interesting, you've repeated this in a few comments. I am not american, but living in the US, and it's always been my observation that while true, americans seldom travel outside their own country, they do travel, a lot, within their own continent-sized nation. In fact, almost everyone I know here is quite frequently taking little trips, both business and pleasure, be it to see relatives (families are very dispersed) or friends, or just sight seeing. In my experience just about everyone has been to New York or San Francisco, or the Bahamas, Hawaii, not to mention LA, FL, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Chicago, New Orleans, etc. At one point or another, just about everyone takes the proverbial road trip across most of the US. And I'm pretty sure that any one point in time, there are more airplanes, packed, flying over the US than on any other part of the world, probably combined. Of course, it may be my own distorted vision of reality.
Thanks for recommending that essay. Reading through it I found myself first agreeing, every other attempt sings about Lisp's wonders without showing you the what/why/how, only woo. Then, here I was halfway through this essay also not yet knowing what the fuzz is about, and when the author finally gets around to it I end up not really sold on it. I have given Racket and CL my time before only to end giving up, not having found "enlightenment" or even the motivation to keep at it. Another day, with more free time I expect I'll give Beautiful Racket also a try.
> fired up Access. In the spare time I had here and there I put together a database everyone could use at once, input once… until Access became too limiting (I honestly can't remember why now)…
Didn't Access have a 20-or-so-simultaneous connections limitation? I guess it depends on how old the version. Yes, I tried using Access on a website once (Lowers head in shame).
Notice that is because Mexico and Croatia are expected to have a higher rate of improvement towards 2030, vs. the U.S. only improving by a couple of years. It's not that U.S. life expectancy will decline (although it did last year for the first time), just that others will improve more.
Ah another reminder I am old, and thankful I got to learn the lost art of using my senses, and appreciating food that although not useful for winning photography awards, it was still yummy. Yes, I'm one of those that gets frustrated when I see someone throw away a banana because it had a softer spot on one end, or "ew, too many freckles". I am from a past that will never return. While I'm here, I'll miss it.
EDIT: I should mention that I prefer buying non-packaged food, so I still trust my senses better than any "sell by" or "best before" labels.
When O'Reilly mentioned Putin, the person, being a killer, Trump answered that the U.S. (not a person) isn't so innocent either, which yes true, also clearly deflecting and avoiding saying or acknowledging anything bad about Putin. What immediately came to my mind was O'Reilly could have followed up with "is the President of the U.S. a killer?". I thought missed opportunity, but of course, that could have never aired.
I have vscodevim plugin, currently 0.5.2 and it's decent, it's been making progress, yet still it has little things that definitely detract from the experience, like motion keystrokes do not take the key auto-repeat. Actually it works moving by block ({}) and line (+-) but not with character (i,j,k,l) or word motions (wW,bB,eE) or next/previous occurrence of search (nN). Annoying. At least now they've fixed the issue where I had to re-enter a search term when switching buffers. So there's progress, and it will eventually be just as good.
It might be my not being American, also not on the left, but what I am reading (perhaps erroneously) is: yes, "we" (you and GP) have been called racist, homophobic, misogynist, etc. for so long …and from being called those words there's no introspection as to whether one is perhaps factually so disrespectful of the basic dignity of other human beings that it would be decent to reconsider?
Maybe it will indeed be really hard to recover. Then again, my determination just got reinforced.
Really? From my perspective those words do carry a lot of weight. And that a President of the United States, or anyone really, is ok with brandishing any and all of those tags makes me sad and really pessimistic, also determined to make those epithets count again, it's a line I will push back from.
I don't know man, I've been more-or-less following this discussion of the last several days, and keep seeing all this "nothing compares to MacOS because... Woo". I work on a fucking mac all day, every day, impatiently waiting to get back home to my Ubuntu desktop. Oh yes, I dislike laptops with their small screens and toy keyboards. I carry this macbook from work back and forth, only to plug it into real peripherals when I actually have to use it. Because no, Photoshop on a coffee shop is not realistic, it's dumb. Also this "Nothing works right, on any of them." Funny, that is what I think of MacOS. I'll restrain from ranting. In short, I absolutely, completely, strongly, disagree with you here.
