What you describe is "reduction", not "moderation"

You are correct on nearly all points, and the parents is wrong in nearly all of their points. However, I believe they are technically correct that we "are here because our ancestors ate carbs". This is not to say that carbs are he

Yes, this is a great post. I've known many in the keto community who have a dismissive attitude towards the calories in calories out mentality. Too often they simply say "CICO is nonsense!" without explaining what they reall

Not everyone changes their diet exclusively to lose weight. Some people would rather prevent medical issues, and or increase their well-being. This fixation on the calories in - calories out ignores all of this and is detrimental to people&

The ways that foods can harm our bodies goes far beyond whether or not you consume too many calories and gain weight. You could get most of your calories from table sugar and not gain weight if you do the math correctly. But this diet will

He's making a statement about the biological need for certain macro-nutrients as such. He's not making a statement about your total calorie need. The balance of your calories could come from other sources, however there is a minim

[The] statements you make above don't actually address the claims he made. While a certain diet/lifestyle may be controversial, the specific claims he made about carbs are well established by medical science, and are not controve

I've known many marathon runners that eat keto specifically because shifting to fat burning gave them incredible, and consistent, stamina. On the other hard, weight lifters have complained that being keto has diminished their peak capa

There is a large number of ways that one can turn an exclusionary diet into an unhealthy diet - by what you choose to include. This doesn't make the exclusion unhealthy, or the excluded food necessary. Most ULC dieters I know are LCH

This really is a shame. We could improve the quality of many people's lives, extend their lifespans, and save money on health care if we treated sugar addiction as serious social problems, the way we do alcohol, nicotine, and harder d

Exactly. Moderation is relative to thresholds deemed 'extreme', and there are usually no objective, culture-independent standards on which the extremes are based. Moderation can be whatever you rationalize it to be.

It's amazing that the hospital has the authority to deny the parents the ability to bring the child home. They may be tending to a vegetable, but unless they endanger anyone they are entitled to this. More importantly - hospitals can m

The parents statement is literally correct. You seem, to me, to be assuming motive and wrongly accusing the parent.

I don't understand the question "how they dealt with it." You deal with it the same way you deal with being attracted to a married person. You ignore the attraction. It seems to me that every decent person must have urges&#x

I've enjoyed some comments you've made elsewhere, and don't want you to run afoul of HN rules and culture. I believe that discussing the fact of the downvotes is strongly discouraged on HN.

This is absolutely wonderful to hear. Constant harrasment by angry police officers (as I've seen in other locales) can be very damaging to the psyche if those who already have so much to deal with.

There is nothing wrong with seeking cost effective solutions to problems. It is worth noting that many homeless people in SF did not become homeless in SF. They became homeless elsewhere, then moved to SF because circumstances there favor h

This is a rather absolute statement: "There's just one good and true advice" People are different. Some of the advice which you say is bad, is actually wonderful for some people.

I agree, emphatically. This experience of relief is so great, I think this may be why I'm postponing learning Spanish. I absolutely love the ease with which I can tune out conversations in languages I don't know.

When you decide that comments are "trolling" by their effects, rather than only their content, you give censorial power to people who respond poorly.

The problem in recent years was the project leadership. I'm not sure if that has improved more recently.

This comment contributes nothing, but insults another for their worldview.

Your comments are far more useful to me than the article itself. Thank you.

Yes. I'm offended by restrictions on speech. Therefore restricting speech to avoid offending people is logically impossible.

"all other" ? Dell does great work with Linux on some XPS laptops. Ubuntu may not be what we want, but the foundation is set for other distros.

I don't think this needs to be a zero sum game (they can improve macOS' many problems and also work on self driving AI), but your point stands. Apple doesn't seem to care about certain classes of users.

Now that they have the adjective, they could start spelling any noun they wanted.
