trueismywork··on US repeals EPA endangerment finding for greenhouse gases
Despite this, since 1980, US, EU and Australia have been the biggest polluters since 1980 when climate change was first known to be man made. (Read my other comment)
trueismywork··on US repeals EPA endangerment finding for greenhouse gases
China was an offender at the time yes. But even so, since 1980, when effects of climate change were first known, US has emitted 250Gt and China only 263 Gt, which in per capita terms places US at 690t/p and China at 185 t/p. This is despite China having one child policy since 1979 (which by the way has been heavily criticized by the US).

In all, the case for US being the real villain here keeps getting stronger and stronger.

trueismywork··on Jury told that Meta, Google 'engineered addiction' at landmark US trial
You do go to restaurants for food, you do buy books (story books at least) to be enchanted. And even then addictive substances are banned from food.

Not everyone goes to social media for entertainment, and there's no way to maintain hygiene apart from just going off it.

PDE can simulate Kelvin helmhotlz instability and if you want to go even smaller, you can go to particle in cell methods. And the distribution thing you are talking about is similar to lattice boltzmann methods.

Very cool, but I must say the best way is still a paper with master password in a bank locker. May be distributed it if needed gor additional security.

trueismywork··on How London became the rest of the world’s startup capital
Depends on the market size. If the market is 100M, then a 500k profit effectively means your product will be inferior and poorly placed to evolve. If the market is 500k, then by all means go ahead. Startup are designed with explicit purpose of designing a product to capture that market without having to worry about the revenue during the time the product is being made. But of course capture does mean capture quickly because of the first mover advantage.

trueismywork··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Startups but definition have no revenue.

Its also a chicken and egg problem. Having a revenue means having a company and vice versa. Unless you're in very old fields, which explains lack of new tech companies in Germany

I have created a python program for exactly that purpose. Its nothing fancy. A yaml file of ingredients, another yamk fole of recipes and a yaml file for nutrient target and then some optimizers and some constaimt enforcers. I can now decide what I want to eat that day and the program tells me what quantity I should eat, what ingredients I need, what ingredient I need to buy, how much time it will take for cooking and how much meal prep boxes etc Extremely helpful for weight loss

trueismywork··on Exercise can be nearly as effective as therapy for depression
The same routine for good things can turn into being a bad thing. Brcause it can make you inflexible. So there's a trade off there.

For me, it was when I was in a situation where I had to work 80 hours a week to keep my job. I had to get rid of my routine for 8 months and I am happy I did it otherwise I would he poor today.
