Fundamentally, the concept that your computer can actually look at your screen and is context aware is going to become an important modality for us going forward.”

Since I don't feel the need for ambience nor multi-modal experiences in my OS, considering the implementation of that "modality" I'm afraid that even as a long-time Windows user I'm going to have to switch to another OS that closer aligns to my needs.

How often do you go?

I like my phone too much to risk it in a hot sauna.

LiPO batteries don't like high temperatures and it will likely degrade their charging capacity, so that's very wise imho!

I really should start going to the sauna, it sounds really relaxing and the benefits sound great too.

Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

The association is funded by a number of food multinationals, pharmaceutical companies, and food industry lobbying groups, such as the National Confectioners Association. The Academy has faced controversy regarding corporate influence and its relationship with the food industry and funding from corporate groups such as McDonald's, Coca-Cola, Mars, and others.

...

During fiscal year 2015, the organisation received $1.1 million in corporate sponsorship's from companies like General Mills, Coca-Cola and Pepsi Co via donations, joint initiatives, and programs.

Emphasis mine. As always, it's important to view all organizations in the context of their relationship with other larger and more influential organizations.

If there's a game that ever needed stringent anticheat, it's Battlefield.

This factor alone must confound so many studies that try to reduce "caloric intake" with regards to some health outcome. Makes sense that the other way around would be better! Try to overfeed the subjects and see what happens. I hope more studies are done that way, but it looks like the subjects become very uncomfortable over the course of the study haha

Thank you for sharing this very educational video.

Personal Fat Threshold and Genetic/Ethnic Variation: Each individual has a personal fat threshold determined by their ability to create new fat cells (hyperplasia). Once this threshold is surpassed, hypertrophy and insulin resistance ensue. Ethnic differences, such as the smaller, more numerous fat cells in Caucasians versus fewer, larger fat cells in South Asians, explain why some populations develop diabetes and metabolic disease at lower BMI. This insight demands personalized approaches to obesity and metabolic disease risk.

A long-held view that I had was that metabolic health in Japan was better than other parts of the world on a Standard American Diet, but after listening to this lecture I've been forced to reconsider this view entirely, because it's entirely possible to be pre-diabetic and in very poor metabolic health without looking obese at all. I was the same way: although I merely looked "chubby" I had NAFLD. I'm really glad I decided to do something about it...

Those pesky ethics committees...

It is remarkable that such physiological changes occur even after a comparatively short period of only twenty-one days. Having tried all three also, my experience has been consistent with this in general; however I do not have asthma, and I was noticeably much more irritable on low-fat and very-low-fat vegan.

I'm curious as to how he "reset" his body state to keep the starting point consistent for the study. It would've also been interesting if he'd also adopted a high-fat animal-sources-only diet as part of this trial.

The limitations of this study include just one subject was studied, and he was generally in good health and exercised regularly, so these findings may not apply to a individuals with medical problems. Additionally, these results may not extrapolate to ALL types of low-carb or low-fat diets, as there is a wide range of food choices within each of these general diet descriptions.

I also appreciate that the limitations are clearly stated. Interesting study!

I love the writing style, she described the effects of the diet in such an amicable manner. Her improved mood shines through her writing. The coffee ... ah, fixation, yeah... three weeks in, I haven't needed that.

256 = 200 + 56, initially they only wanted 200 people in a chatroom but decided 56 more was even better, so it's very oddly specific indeed.
