I suppose that for any given action, there's likely always someone who will do it, but in any case a bag of oranges has significantly different nutritional properties than a bag of chips. How many oranges are we talking about, and what size oranges?
I could too... if I wanted to. For me at least, oranges are not the type of food that inspires me to binge. Do you seriously not understand why people tend to binge on certain foods and not on others? In any case, 5 oranges is at most maybe 400 calories, very low fat and sodium.
> I'm not obese.
Which is my original point: "Who is getting obese from fresh fruit"
Compared to our hunter-gatherer ancestors, we have a practically unlimited supply of fruit, but I don't think thats really the problem.
Sperm whales arguably farm by always dedicating at the top of the water column and measurably increasing the fertility of the seas they swim in. It seems possible that is deliberate given how much of their time they spend in the depths.
China turning the corner on emissions has far more to do with their desire to get out from under the possibility of an oil blockade locking up their economy than green pressure from the west. They also organically have an environmental movement, though not one that they are willing to kowtow to at the cost of growth.
Another factor for China was their cities choking on smog. One of the anecdotes I remember from Covid was that mask wearing in Asian cities was just another thing you did depending on that aspect of the weather, except in 2020 it had another reason behind it.
Since the financial crisis the US economy has kept on trucking, while the EU has stagnated. This isn’t all because of the euro, but it’s definitely a disaster and I think it is reasonable to hold the euro at least partially responsible.
Take a long term view the US has done a lot better in the period it has had a common currency than the EU has done in the period it has had a common currency.
Even in recent decades the US has done much better economically than the EU.
Because the US is structured in a way that makes a common currency workable. It has direct federal taxes, and a very large federal budget. The EU budget is a tiny fraction of total EU public spending.
There is a huge difference between EU states and US states.
Since the pandemic, enforcement of traffic laws has fallen off a cliff, with a corresponding increase in traffic deaths. That is the result of a specific policy choice. Women who get pregnant experience potentially fatal complications somewhat randomly, just like victims of driving accidents are killed somewhat randomly. You probably can’t eliminate either category of death entirely with policy, but it is clear that there are policy levers that could reduce deaths in both categories. They actually seem almost exactly equivalent.
Yeah reconnecting from different terminals is a pretty tricky problem to solve (and in fact can't be solved in general because of potential skew between the terminfo db on the client machine and the remote machine). The big problem is that once you launch a shell, there is no great way to change environment variables from outside that shell, so you can't change the value of TERM for a running shell. I have thought about trying some LD_PRELOAD tricks to try to be able to call setenv() from within the shell process itself, but this always struck me as something that would require a pretty big hack.
You can definitely use it in production, it is deployed internally at Google and we have a bunch of users. It doesn’t currently work on MacOS, but one of my colleagues is currently working on a port to Mac.
