> I do take one "testosterone-boosting 'supplement'" (the main one). I've been running a test level of around 900.

That's basically a PED for your condition. That + protein + muscle load from lifting means you will be gaining muscle and losing fat as long as you engage in a progressive overload ( which is much easier to do with T boosters ).

We have a reasonably decent understanding that "abundance" state is bad for longevity. This is a decent overview:

People over self-diagnose insomnia instead of addressing lifestyle choices:

It down regulates mTOR.

Muscle gaining requires quite a bit of protein. It is not very difficult to constantly get enough protein in a non-vegan diet while consuming only 1500 calories even on OMAD. It is far more difficult to accomplish with a vegan diet on OMAD or IF cycle while only consuming 1500 calories.

All the energy needed for non-exercise activity i.e. eating (edit: muscle movement needed to eat such as lifting a spoon, not the process of digesting), scratching your head, typing on a keyboard, yawning, etc

> If your body fat percentage is high enough (25% or more for example) it is even possible to gain muscle on a calorie deficit. Many studies have shown it's possible to lose fat while gaining muscle for such individuals.

Being a vegan it is very difficult to get enough protein needed to maintain the existing muscle mass, not to mention grow muscles at 1500 calories per day. That's below base for most men even with a lifestyle that does not include anything other than NEAT.

That's not really true. I consulted for two companies that provided payment processing services for... non family friendly websites. They were making out like bandits charging ~30% fees. The blended charge back rate for this side of business was about 5%. The blended charge back rate for the family friendly side of business was around 3%

> Furthermore, it's not that simple. Lots of other factors affect metabolism, hunger and energy levels, all of which have huge effect on weight loss\gain.

It is that simple: people simply are looking for an excuses why they aren't willing to do it.

I'm going to again plugin this guy https://hubermanlab.com/how-to-lose-fat-with-science-based-t... because his lectures are amazing and he breaks down the actual scientific consensus on these topics rather well. He is neuroscientist and tenured associate professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the Stanford University School of Medicine who has made contributions to the brain development, brain plasticity, and neural regeneration and repair fields.

> It wouldn't be much of a metabolism trick at all if it doesn't work in ketosis or fasting. If you can burn fat, it should still work.

Body will always switch to burning mostly fat after a prolonged period of physical activity which studies suggest for moderate level of constant physical activity happens somewhere around 90 minute mark. There are no magic bullets.

... which works as long as one does not consume more calories that the total amount of calories one burns (i.e. is in a caloric deficit). The real issue is that individuals who suffer from excessive weight tend to be in a caloric surplus

> Do calf raises have a similar effect?

Unlikely as untrained person would have a very hard time doing 50 calf raises

I think this is going to end up being an overblow over-editorialized headline.

This looks to be an example of NEAT movements, which engage muscles and therefore of course increases energy requirement. The effect of NEAT on energy requirements of a body is fairly well studies and fairly well known. It would have been far more interesting if it lasted for over 4 hours as that would at least in theory pass the 2nd level signaling.

The funniest thing was that we got about a million in CAF bucks from them to go contract and move more stuff from AWS ( our monthly was low triple digits thousands ) and their AMs still messed everything up.

I have dealt with Google and AWS under 4 different companies that spent between low double digit to high triple digit a month.

General view:

* AWS - Great customer service. Steak house level customer service when moved from cc billing to contract billing.

* GCP - terrible service regardless of spend and regardless of dynamic or contract billing. AM do not know products. AM's are equivalent of BOA branch employees that solve a problem by calling the same number the customer calls and give the phone to the customer who came to see them in their branch, except that the customer service phone is the same opaque process the customer is subjected to. The only GCP product that had good customer service was the original App Engine, supported out of Germany ( I think ). We could get in touch with engineers responsible for it over video chat.

Blazingly fast serialized access to the shared data structures over the network by multiple writers and readers.

It suffers from the same problem as all other Android forks: no updates to binary blobs that actually make phone a phone.

I don't understand why this is a surprise. Is it that no one from FAANG upper management visited HN? HN general position is:

* get a job at FAANG

* do nothing, other than show up and do some minimal work

* collect mad money

* when bored go to another FAANG

Compared this to startups:

* get a job at startup

* work work work work work

* collect OK money

* go back to work

HN advice? Get a job at FAANG!

Jared is not a rando who built an ISP. He is someone who forgot more about networking and running NSPs than most people know.

If only shopify could fix the god damn Chrome issue.

This is missing vc - Volkov Commander - written in assembly. It was tiny, had amazingly complete functionality and was blazingly fast.

While this is a comedy, the actual fried rice is excellent, including the tricks that most Westerners don't get - for example re-purposing stale rice.

P.S. The owner of the shop also makes the fried rice so you can compare the two slightly different approaches.

Maybe they could assign some remaining people to fixing their god damn issue with ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE issue with Chrome that has been happening on and off for years

And with this single change Visa just ensured that no one other than Apple and Google has a chance of making a significant dent App Store fees.

Ok, I will play.

What is the instance that will compile Linux kernel 100 times in sequence fastest? Not an abstract handwavy "the biggest one" but what is the exact instance?

Thanks. Is there a way to get the list of say top X fastest instances?

And there are other applications of shitcoins than fleecing public.

You are missing a critical piece of information here: what is your yearly income and what is your family size?

The vast majority of people playing "experts" have never engaged in any business transaction hence they don't know.

This is the actual reason why multinationals move headquarters there.
