It’s a study with Walter Willett and Frank Hu, who are probably the most highly regarded nutritional researchers working in the field.

Here’s a great video about how these researchers are using big data to reveal insights into nutrition: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8JQtwLNKXg

Have you tried uv? I switched to it from poetry a couple months ago. It’s not perfect but I’m enjoying it a lot more than poetry.

I could switch and plan to evaluate it soon. :)

> the US essentially subsidizes the entire drug research industry

This isn’t entirely true. The US does pay more for drugs but a lot of this money isn’t spent on research. In fact pharmaceutical companies spend far more on advertising than research:

Nutritional studies are notoriously difficult to conduct. You either have to isolate subjects and monitor everything they eat and when. Or you have to rely on self reported data and people do an atrocious job of tracking food, estimating portion size, etc.

This study did the former:

> The duration of the study is 7 days including 3 days with controlled diet and 4 days (including 5 nights) in a metabolic chamber at the Institute of Nutritional Medicine at the University of Hohenheim.

I imagine it was prohibitively expensive to have more participants.

With the way that Apple prevents you from reusing Apple IDs, does it mean that if my Apple ID is blah@mydomainname.com and I migrate mydomainname.com (currently using G Suite free) over to iCloud that I can't set up blah@mydomainname.com?

You can. However, if you switch your Apple ID to a different address before you set up both the domain and the blah@mydomainname.com address to route to your account, you won't be able to set up blah@mydomainname.com for any account under your iCloud subscription for a year.

I see. Thanks for the response! Great article too.

There are a bunch of mypy configuration options to disallow certain things like --disallow-untyped-defs. There’s also --strict which forces typing on everything.

Man, developing python with pydantic and "mypy --strict" (I follow pydantic's config [0] where I can) is such Type 2 Fun. It feels like a totally different language. Yeah it takes a little more time at first but then type inference and autocomplete starts to kick in and then you're screaming fast. And you "compile" it and everything just works. No hunting down edge cases or tracebacks cause you forgot to catch a None. I find it super satisfying. Much easier to stay in flow state when you aren't having to stop every few minutes to test stuff and dig through tracebacks.

And don't pronounce PyPI as pie-pie. It's pie-P-I.

Ah. The fat detective.

it was much easier when it was just called the cheese shop

I was considering upgrading to an iPhone 12 mini. Does it have these issues too?

It does but a lot less. Go for it, it’s a great phone.

No

Does your roof generate electricity though? A solar roof is a roof + solar panels.

It's not going to cost 34k to install solar panels on his roof. Tesla's claim seems disengenous at best.

It's comparing apples and oranges. Presumably the OP is not using premium concrete (terracotta) tiles on his roof. Tesla is cheaper than a premium roof with solar panels and the details of said comparison are laid out on their site.

The comparison on Tesla's site still looks misleading.

"comparable price of a typical roof + solar panels"

Having premium concrete shingles isn't a "typical roof". They also use small greyed out text to say they are comparing it to concrete shingles, but use big black text for the higher price, and hide the fact that the Solar Roof is only cheaper because of tax breaks behind a "See More" button.

For a ~10kW (AC) system you're going to pay about that much, I just had it done.

It's misleading to look at the price of the panels alone. You also need (micro) inverters, you need to have it hooked up to the the grid, you need several inspections (construction + electrical). Getting all those panels installed on your roof and wired up is quite labor intensive as well. The installation cost is significant.

Just out of curiosity, what happens to the engineers that work on these projects that get shutdown by Google? Do they get laid off?

Lord no. My thinking was "I wonder what high-priority project required the talent that was working on Hire that they had to reorg the teams to it and kill the product."

I don't think Google has ever had any layoffs. (The use of contractors allows many companies to downsize without actual layoffs, but I don't think even that strategy has really been the case during Google's history so far, which has been growth heavy and cash rich for the most part.)
