You think they planted evidence? What makes you believe that?

This is exactly why I said, “I have not seen compelling evidence of this, but I know a lot of people believe it.”

I have been eating only one meal per day deliberately for many years. I have fasted for up to 4 days. I seldom fast for more than one day. When I was doing keto, I never experienced the keto flu that many complain about. If these are the sa

Have there been proven benefits beyond weight loss? I am responding to "I believe that everyone, even the skinny folks, should be on GLP1 drugs for the longevity effects" and assertions about "longevity markers". I am no

Fasting does help me with weight control. I generally eat only one meal each day and I find this has many other benefits. I am not considering these drugs. I responded to "I believe that everyone, even the skinny folks, should be on GL

Can you elaborate on that? Or is it a gut feeling?
668.
by mcculley 4y ago
I have a lot of experience with fasting. I have never experienced those symptoms as a result of restricting calories.

I did not forget that. I am not going to risk brain fog for three months.

I think I will wait for some version that does not cause "strong nausea, extreme fatigue, brain fog, and constipation".

This reminds me of a question I have asked of those with more biology knowledge and not gotten a satisfying answer: Would there be adverse outcomes if we somehow killed all viruses?

The DEC Alpha had speculative execution. I found lots of bugs porting code to it. It was my first 64-bit platform.
673.
by mcculley 4y ago
What hardware/platform was this? I worked on AIX on POWER a long time ago and it had to map the zero page read-only just to support speculative execution of dereferencing the NULL pointer, if I remember right. If you were on a platform

I meant "only downside" in terms of how to design the API parameters and return values. I did not say it is the caller's choice nor that it is equally reliable. It is a system composition decision. It is a system that is some

Yes, there are downsides to distributed systems. In some cases, they are still necessary. This approach allows us to make the decision to be distributed at runtime instead of at design time. For our services, there is never a single point o

by mcculley 4y ago
You don’t have to necessarily decide one way or the other. I have systems where the decision to put the module in the same process or to call it via RPC is done at runtime. Java’s dynamic proxies help with this, but it can be done in any la

I agree that new ways of doing things are possible. I’m not convinced that anyone is helped by limiting options for who can own a building.

On what are you basing the assertion that America is "crawling with predators"? Do you think it is worse than before? Worse than other places?

One of the reasons that I currently rent an apartment instead of owning a single family home is that I want someone else to handle maintenance. Maintenance issues involve more than just "agreements with fellow apartment owners". T

I live in an apartment unit in a 25 story tower. I rent it from a corporation that owns it. Would that still be allowed in your plan? Would the restrictions on who can own housing only apply to single family homes?

Steve Jobs was a very different kind of asshole.

No, I don’t. They must be too focused on their job to be tweeting like a petulant child. Maybe Tesla should hire one of them to run things.

I responded to a proposal with no apparent thought behind it.

by mcculley 4y ago
No, I don’t want a corporation. I am trying to imagine how renting would work in dense cities with restrictions on ownership. It seems it would be a less liquid market.

These details seem to make the idea unworkable to me.

by mcculley 4y ago
I am wondering about the details. Would you prohibit anything that could be used as a residence? Office buildings would be permitted? I live in an apartment unit in a 24 story tower. It is owned by a corporation and I lease it. Would only c

I currently lease my apartment unit in a 24 story tower from a corporation. My friend leases a single family home in a suburb from a corporation. Should both of these use cases be eliminated?

by mcculley 4y ago
I am trying to imagine how such a proscription would work. Would there be a list of things corporations are disallowed ownership? Who would the seller be required to determine if the entity is appropriate? Or would the local property tax cl
