Yes, what you said is correct. If you could control your appetite, or response to it, you could lose weight on a calorie restricted diet of "fattening" foods. While I'm not a proponent of Jason Fung or his book, I have read i

Which platform should I target for my new game? Do I need to make my own propriety gaming device? If I want it playable on a phone, do I need to make my own phone? Or because Apple/google don't really make games, it's okay to

Not defending them, but I think they were capping high current draw performance to prevent low voltage shut off, which seemed to be an issue with aged batteries in certain, now older, models, which was perhaps a reasonable way to address th

I get that you're probably trying to leave it as an exercise to the reader, but the word "frequentist" doesn't even appear on the wikipedia article for Decision Theory, nor the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy. I can&

I hear that constantly, but it's my favorite remote. I did, however, buy a sub 10 dollar silicone case for it, with a strap. It's easy to grip, comfortable, doesn't slide, and it is always obvious which way is up/forward

Apple's "Bedtime" isn't a sleep tracking app, really. It's more of a "convenient" way to set bedtime and waking alarms, so it's not a great comparison. In answer to the OP, I actually used to use a Z

I agree with your sentiment and like your example, but in fairness to "the people" criticizing him, it's probably different people in each instance of criticism. We personify groups of people, and then treat them as fungible

Indeed you can, so long as you assume governments (and countries) aren't fungible.

Ah, so the sisal rope is just a simple filter, and not a "continuously self-cleaning" filter? I presume it's eventually fouled and must be disgarded? So this must not have been to which the ancestor was originally referring

It only seems reasonable to be tongue-in-cheek mad. But, we, who hoped that the early reporting that Apple had done nothing to address the contaminent ingress issue may now be quietly relieved.
