Much of it is possible , sure. I don't think most of it is feasible, or likely. Prioritization of classes of traffic is and has been a thing for a long time, and consumers broadly benefit from it (we all want VOIP traffic to have be

So far, every "day of action" banner I've seen has basically been pitched at mock "you've hit your bandwidth cap" or "your throughput has been limited" messages, both of which are in place today and

That doesn't make sense, though, because if your buying power remains stagnant, but you suddenly don't need to buy health insurance with that buying power (because it's handled in the form of pre-takehome compensation), then

Indeed. In fact, the footnote for that chart acknowledges that: > Income differences narrow when all taxes and transfers—such as health insurance and in-kind government benefits—are included https://www.minneapolisfed.org&#x2F

Seconded. ES is honestly one of the lowest-maintenance products I've ever deployed. It has a few quirks, but for the most part, it Just Works.

Losing weight is honestly just about developing good habits and being aware of what you eat. Over the past year I've lost 65 lbs calorie counting on an IIFYM-style diet, while lifting. Once the routine is established and you have a go-

This would be a lot more useful with information on distribution of scholarships (and more generally, the distribution of all means of financing among these groups). For example, the data points showing that that men receive more help from

$80k is a substantial amount of money in, say, Houston (4th most populous city in the US) or Phoenix (6th most populous city in the US). SF's COL is 51% higher than Houston (ie, $80k in Houston ~ $121k in SF), and 73% higher than Phoen

Might raise too little revenue. But in general, if you want to tax capital, you should tax capital, rather than taxing companies (which do a pretty good job of offloading tax incidence onto labor.)

Go to McDonald's and watch what people are eating sometime. The quantity of food they're putting away may surprise you. Pay special attention to the number of times they go to refill their drink.

Yeah, in days gone past I would eat that much (and more) on a regular basis. I've noticed that when I'm used to overeating, it can take a lot of food to hit that point where my brain says "okay, I'm done". When I&

Eating 4k in a day is a chore if you are used to controlling your intake and eating clean. It's not hard if you eat poorly. There was once a time that I could put down a Costco box of Goldfish crackers (7400 calories) in an evening of

Now add a 32oz coke (320 calories) and a large fry (510) and you're at 1,652 calories for what many people would consider a "small" meal. Throw in a 510 calorie McFlurry for dessert and you've just blown past 2k calories

The problem is that your body is highly adapted for survival, and it frickin' loves calories, and we have a food industry that has perfected the process of putting as many calories into as small a package as possible, with a composit

Fats are also a primary component in hormone synthesis. It's very important to get enough - they're just also 9 cal/g, compared to 4 cal/g for protein/carbohydrate, so they can be easy to overconsume if you're

Performance is the big one. Win 10 - when it's good - feels like a super-polished Win 8. They fixed the "metro" app stuff to not be awful. It does a good job of getting out my way and letting me run what I want to run. It&#x2

So get some extra fiber and pop a Colace if it's really bad. Adding another prescription medication seems like a pound worth of solution for an ounce's worth of problem.
