>Surely you’ve seen a person lose weight before. Never a single one who did it sustainably and never regained weight in 5-10 years. Just because yes, metabolism stays crippled, endocrinal consequences of obesity never go away, and fat ce

On the other hand, a lot of people hit FIRE in these fat Covid and post-Covid years so can just continue doing same, but without working.

Agree with this line of thinking, however with dating sites, i just don't agree. They are working as designed because their paying users are men who want to hook up, competing for a very small number of very picky women just because fe

What's missing in the story is when did she buy it and how much she spent... Maybe it was an expensive purchase at that point already, like in 5 digits, and she invested a considerable portion of her savings?

I think this is mostly religious thinking. Gluttony is a sin and an attempt to "hack" it this way is subconsciously perceived as an abomination of God. I can't explain it in any other way. You can't fix "lifestyle c

GLP-1 isn't new and was used by ~10 years by diabetics - health of which is extremely fragile almost by definition and if it was in any way dangerous, we'd have lots of deaths a long time ago.

True, you take them for life, given multitude of other benefits, what's the problem about it? No one is claiming otherwise. Problem used to be the price, but now they are cheap. Negative consequences of quitting gym are even more sever

I wonder why is that research even being done anymore. Isn't obesity solved for good with GLP-1? Why do we need to return to this, aren't there more pressing health issues to resolve?

It seems to have become a taboo topic. There are too many people who voted for it and now realise it has been a mistake and want to forget about it, anyone who reminds them, will be seen negatively. It also can't be reversed anyway so

Because people have developed "AI blindness" by now much like they learnt to ignore ad banners 20 years ago and then learned to ignore ANY images on sites when they all got to be AI-generated 2-3 years ago. "AI" is now j

This is same that i meant myself. Local gang so established, it is seen as a government itself, runs the place and national laws do not apply, resulting properties being from perspective of law, illegal - can't be officially sold or mo

Indeed, exciting times! What looked like science fiction in Reagan's era (brilliant pebbles)? now seems almost too banal and simple to even build.

Yes you are right, but it doesn't contradict my statement. Of course big companies are necessary and big companies are where the moats and thus wealth creation is. But it doesn't mean they need to hire the best people (market cont

Logical approach i think here, is to develop and first deploy tech in a less regulated country, just pick based on where regulation is the weakest and/or corruption works better in overcoming it. Use VC dollars to buy the officials to

It's regulated everywhere it's just that corruption networks are so dense in the countryside, no one gives a damn about things being done legally.

But this is how it should be. Very best of the best start their own startups. Second best, start their own consultancies. Next on, work independently. Next on, are principals in small firms - they are the irreplaceable singular employees th

Problem with this approach is someone who follows it will find themselves doing something totally useless almost all of the time. "Just doing the thing" means that usually you are merely doing a hobby - most of the time, being una

The latter point is awful and the main reason of why i don't take this shit. Taking it wastes whole day and you have to begin in the morning or there's no chance to properly sleep at night. Who needs a drug like that.

No, it is the fact that they outsource their IT to the lowest bidder and surround their work with ridiculous limitations our of the false hope of savings, that both destroy productivity, and make accountability impossible. It's fine, m

It is not common and as you could have figured from the rest of this arrangement, it's just yes, this organisation is broken. Which is usually a good thing, broken places are usually to make money off that's why they remain broken

They won't, GLP-1 has almost no direct effect on skinny people. Many women with BMI around 22-23 are trying them to lose weight to match beauty standards and usually end up disappointed, not able to drop more than 1-2 kilos.

by anovikov 1y ago
Someone has to start a study where they give GLP-1 to skinny people and see what happens. Why it hasn't been done yet?

One problem about it is that without growth, there's no way European pension commitments will be paid. Growth was baked into these promises and we don't have any.

Western political systems, by design, are aiming to make government incapable and gridlocked, in order to prevent dictatorship, and usually do the job quite well - as it seems from the last by-elections, even a very determined would-be dict

This. The guy should forget about the bullshit jobs he could get in the CS field and just do that same thing full time. He could be the next Cory Doctorow. He actually writes better.

Which, given times we live in, makes them look like a great investment. Just look at which stocks made enormous gains in the last 10 years! Perhaps the only large company that did the real thing is SpaceX but you can't buy their stock.

It's simply a company that operates in a rare industry where safety and reliability is more important than time to market or cost. Which makes risk-averse, hyper-conservative and consensus-seeking European culture at a relative advanta

I meant to say: this is a new sleek tool to make people compete more intensely against each other in the race to exhaust a limited resource. Just like freelance sites made life of everyone miserable while extracting cash out of them, simply

This is such a bunch of nonsense! The ROI of using a diesel-powered pump isn't so high so few farmers have one. It means, they work well and those who don't have one, still get some water for their fields, too. A solar pump is man
