Non sense... There were not a particularly big stigma about being obese 50 or 70 years ago. Socially stigma were more about gender roles, sexuality etc...etc...

As every conversation with weigth management/obesity treatment, there are still people thinking that just more willing power / better habits is what's needed. To those people I suggest you run an experiment : what ever your c

And yet most obese people are no more addicted to food than you are addicted to oxygen... It's so bizarre how many people will pretzel their way into moralistic non sense to find a solution to what is clearly a medical problem. Obesity

"Telling people to eat less" doesn't work the same way telling people to relax doesn't work. It assumes that relaxing is under voluntary control. To bring it back food, the issue is not the eating, the core issue is the

I am not sure about being the best, but one book that really felt special and still does is : - The beginning of infinity by David Deutsch. This book really ignited my love for epistemology in general, and the nature of scientific progress

There is nothing wrong about the concept of ultrabook. Just terrible implementation.

It's been said many time and the correlation between ISA and power efficiency have been debunked many time. ARM is power efficient because most ARM implementation are power efficient. Right now x86 AMD strix are about on par with qual

> AMD does offer custom x86 Not the same thing. On X86 you have to pay AMD or intel to design something for you. In arm, you get to decide who design your chip or even have your own in house CPU design team.

Not quite. I think we need to split the value of ARM the instruction from specific implementation. 1 - In term of pure efficiency, nothing magical about ARM. Looking at AMD latest strix laptop platform they are about on par with qualcomm ne

Same. I never quite got the collective hate against unity. It always felt more driven by an anti canonical sentiment than anything else.
