   I only know what I just read on wikipedia about her, but it seems like she has been heavily doxxed — I'm guessing she requested this information about herself be excluded? If so, I'm not sure I'd classify that as censorship.

   If I help seed this DWeb and it turns out it has some copyrighted materials in it, will I be potentially held liable?

   Surely you realize that kidney pie sounds utterly revolting to those of us who haven’t acquired the taste.

   I think the trope is that British cuisine , that is, dishes that are uniquely British, are bad. Not that there isn’t good food there. Being a rich country, an empire, and part of Europe means you can have many, many different cuisines ther

   I’m definitely saying “Costco’s” from now on; that’s hilarious to me.

   I’m not an expert but I’d be surprised if they didn’t capture and utilize nitrogen from urine.

    Bury the nitrogen rich stuff in carbon rich stuff, like fall leaves.

    BMI is a screening tool with high sensitivity and low specificity. It is useful for selecting patients for further, more specific tests, such as waist measurement. But when talking about how the average BMI of all Americans has gone up, it’

    But at a population level (as the article uses it) it’s mostly fine. Unless the sample skews tall or muscular like the Dutch or bodybuilders.

    So you agree that noone is telling anyone to "fear fat".

    Here are the guidelines so HN readers can judge for themselves: https://www.dietaryguidelines.gov/sites/default/files/2021-0...

    I think personal responsibility is a great thing to talk about at the individual level, but when a whole society has an obesity epidemic it's time to look at systemic issues.

    I've read the guidelines. They don't say to "fear fat". They say to "limit foods and beverages higher in added sugars, saturated fat, and sodium, and limit alcoholic beverages." The 50% number comes from the fa

    I never denied that they are criticising the high carb recommendation, I'm just saying that is irrelevant to my original comment.

    I find it hard to believe that only the grain and sugar industries have powerful lobbyists, and the poor red meat industry has none.

    The direct quote that I pasted is clearly criticizing the refined grains and added sugars recommendations as well as the 50% carb recommendation.

    Carbohydrates from whole grains are different from added sugars and have completely different effects on the body.

    I also think it’s telling that the guidelines for added sugar and saturated fats are exactly the same: limit them to no more than 10% of your calories. But the authors frame this completely differently when it’s about sat fat (“unfounded ho

    I feel a leaner company would better survive a downturn, though. Fewer layoffs and disruption.

    In the article it's actually used as an example of direct-marketing jargon.

    They wouldn’t have to be joke applications, just worse than the ones that were accepted.
