In a “traditional” weight loss strategy, you paired calorie deficit with an increase in physical activity (cardio, resistance training, etc). This increased physical activity helped protect you from muscle loss (your body tended to recognize that muscle was important so it burned fat at a higher rate)

With ozempic, people can lose weight without changing their sedentary lifestyle. Since your muscles are not needed, your body is free to grab energy from wherever it can. In some studies, almost half of weight loss can come from lean tissue.

Is it better to for an obese person to lose weight vs not lose weight? Absolutely. But it would be even better if they also changed their lifestyle to protect their muscle mass.

Netflix does offer to give servers to ISPs to put in their datacenters. So if your ISP is seeing congestion on the IX links, it is entirely possible that Netflix still works fine (because the traffic doesn’t leave the ISP and is therefore not hitting the congestion). But that is not a “fast lane”

It is clear that Apple considers iMessage a significant network effect and is not interested in having feature parity between iOS and non-iOS

In some ways, this is proof that Gemini isn't cheating... It is just doing typical LLM hallucination

Most brokerages (even Robinhood) allow you to trade after-hours. But the volume is lower so it can be more volatile.

500k-700k is a little more realistic. 1500 employees across all domains (engineering, marketing, product management, customer service, etc) isn’t a huge number

But it will not appear if the app opens the webpage as its own View (instead of opening Safari). In that case, there is no button and the user has to hunt for how to go back. And the user has no way of knowing whether an app will open Safari or will open the webpage itself.

iOS requires users to build muscle memory in learning how to use each app. Android requires users to maintain a back stack in their head to remember what came before. Switching between the two is very jarring.

However, if your room has even a little light in it, the settings would make the TV too dark.

It will also disable any effects the TV has that aren't "map video to screen 1:1" such as motion interpolation, upscaling algorithms, etc

IMO, they are a fun community programming puzzle tradition. I would still turn to leetcode for interview practice. But AoC is awesome for me when I don't want to grind leetcode for some interview I don't want right now.

Today, if an iPhone user sends a message to an Android user, that message is sent via SMS. If Google wanted, it could already scrape the message. What would change if the protocol was open and the message was sent to the Android device using iMessage?

There is no expectation for Apple to give Google read/write access to the iMessage database (not that it exists, but still). What is the downside of users being able to interoperate and use the protocol?

Pilots are one of the few professions that are covered under the Railway Labor Act, so federal mediators have lots of power to reach an agreement between airlines and pilots

My gut says that the Fed interest rates and natural cooling of the demand curve post-Covid-lockdown is more impactful. But I would love to learn more.

The interest rate pause was not declared unconstitutional today - and it will continue until the loans are scheduled to be started again in the next couple months.

Musk cannot just wake up one morning, decide to not buy Twitter, and pay the breakup fee. He has already agreed to buy Twitter and cannot back out.

That is why the bot issue is so important. If Musk can prove that Twitter made false claims to the SEC, he is allowed to get out of the deal. But if not, he must buy Twitter
