I think yogurt is a great example of the problem. In its more natural form it is healthy, particularly as a probiotic with live cultures and enzymes. But that’s not what the majority of yogurts sold in stores are, they are heated and paste

Yes it has been quite the ride, not everyday I become the owner of the IP for a brand that was once acquired for ~$4B. Fact is Meta, TikTok, Amazon (Twitch), X and YouTube all protected the trademarked accounts on their platforms and that s

There is no adversary. YouTube & X are not my adversaries any more than Meta, TikTok, Twitch were. The difference is I was able to speak with actual people with decision making authority at Meta, TikTok, and Twitch. Whereas, X & You

Yes it’s possible to eat small amounts of certain fruits (not sure about apples specifically) and not be thrown out of ketosis. When in ketosis I tend to avoid fruit, sometimes I’ll have a small amount of blueberries in a smoothie balanced

I’ve personally done both vegetarian and vegan keto diets (a couple months each). From my normal keto diet it basically meant I stopped eating eggs/bacon and meat. Vegetarian was easier than vegan because I could still eat eggs. Ketos

Most “keto friendly foods” are part of the Mediterranean diet, the main difference is really a matter of cutting out foods that spike insulin and managing the marcos for ketosis. So the emphasis is on fats from the Mediterranean diets like

Life is funny, just last week I learned about a bug on some blockchain explorers where they display certain emojis in code point in base 10 though I think it’s: &# Got to enjoy these kinds of coincidences and happy accidents.

I know on Twitter/X the hashtag emoji isn’t a functional link, but curious why implementing functional hashtag emojis on Bluesky is considered a bug. Sort of related, I’d been waiting like 6 months and finally gained access to Bluesky

Regarding the other post I am lucky to know neiman personally. Neiman is a PhD in mathematics and idealist. The solution he wants goes beyond just hosting a decentralized blog. As far as ENS, I’m a fan. Though it’s too bad someone registe

The cool thing about Vitalik’s blog is that it is decentralized. The blog uses decentralized storage (IPFS) and uses a decentralized ENS domain (vitalik.eth). If you use a web3 browser like brave browser vitalik.eth resolves natively in the

Oddly I was always under the impression that eyes were the most commonly harvested organ from organ donors. Apparently I was wrong and it wasn’t the entire eye but the cornea. Cornea transplants can successfully restore eyesight in certain

I wouldn’t have thought so, but apparently even here on HN people aren’t familiar with the Period of the Kings, the Roman Republic & the Roman Empire. Ancient Rome is all just the Roman Republic.

That is one of the great ironies of the meme… Most people self-identifying that they think about the Roman Empire don’t seem to know the difference between the Roman Republic & Roman Empire (much less the period of Kings)…it’s all just

I don’t think it’s ironic, it is acknowledged by the Supreme Court that hears and rules on affirmative actions cases with some regularity. The reason they take these cases so often is because affirmative action must be narrowly tailored and

Just to play devils advocate… Foster children are not a protected class under the law. Perhaps foster kids could or even should be a protected class, however unlike most protected classes that have faced historical systematic discrimination
