Not sure what comment you're replying to, I didn't say anything about snacking or not eating fat.

Absolutely yes people are. I'm active in weight loss communities to support my own weight loss, and yes we are careful about our fat consumption. The health difference is large for someone trying to lose weight. A tablespoon of butter

Fat is calorically dense. If you're trying to lose weight, you need to be careful about eating calorically dense foods. And if you want to eat more protein to maintain muscle while losing weight, there is a zero-sum trade-off between f

> The only way to have a sustainable government is to have strong checks and balances I don't think this viewpoint can be supported empirically. The US government has much stronger checks and balances than most parliamentary systems

> There's something incredibly poetic about Citizen Kane being remembered more for its influence on a game than anything else - which, I think, would delight the character. Spoilers!

If that was the case, you'd think they'd make their airport less miserable. They have some of the worst food options I've seen at an airport in a long time, presumably because any restaurant would take away precious real esta

I dunno, people always invoke it in situations that are similar, but not quite applicable.

People are reaching for expense, but I think that's the wrong explanation, it's cost/availability + palatability + caloric density. Olive oil has maybe one or two of those, but it's missing the key ingredient of palatabi

Fruits are not calorically dense. A huge ripe pear can be incredibly delicious and sweet, and only has like 100 calories. The best peach you've ever eaten is like 60-80. It would be pretty challenging to eat a calorically problematic p

Why? And what are "all the problems with self-driving cars"?

I would like to see legislation mandating greater transparency, but my impression is that these systems are already safer than human drivers.

Where do you find the complaints?

I've had this feeling in general for music, it seems like genre walls are dissolving, and a lot of music is more of a blend. Some of it still classifiable, but almost all of it borrowing elements from other genres.

Starbucks has lost several cases related to NLRA violations. You can find more information searching "Starbucks NLRA", but here are a couple https://www.hrdive.com/news/starbucks-how-we-communicate-pol... ht

At a startup, you need people who are excited to make the product a success, not just someone who's gonna churn through tickets and tick off boxes. They were probably looking to see if you were going to commit at that level. Totally ge

What would you use it for? I kind of like it conceptually, but hard to imagine how I'd actually use it.

It would be a rare thing that someone would actually be streaming or recording on them, unless you agreed to make a video. Technically someone could record your every conversation with their phone in their pocket or on the table, but no one

I think a big reason that old-school server-side rendering (i.e., templates) isn't popular anymore is that templating languages are horrible and stuck in 2005. An underrated pro of react [1] + typescript is that you get to write your U

Sure, but I doubt many people will be throwing them in the washing machine.

I learned recently that microplastics are primarily from fabrics. Our polyester/synthetic workout clothes shed them in the washer and they end up everywhere. Plastics also generally have a pretty low carbon footprint, ironically.

I think the interesting thing about this comment and the other reply to it is that there are actually several different subgroups of people who all will have different takes on this. I meant cultural elites the way bluefirebrand described i

Ehh, I feel like if you broaden the system slightly, it still works. TLJ: cultural elites liked the whole burning the sacred texts thing, normies hated it. (NB: I only vaguely remember this movie and don't have strong opinions about it

Apollo had a successful app for years that would never have existed without reddit. It's unfortunate it didn't last forever, but it's not like their efforts were wasted.

How so? Shopify has many competitors and is clearly not a monopoly.

I follow Natália on twitter, and she's repeatedly tried to get them to address her criticisms, to no avail as far as I've seen. It's not a good look for a supposedly scientific blog, especially given that her criticisms are d
