Some, but sarcopenia caused by rapid weight loss is a well known phenomenon. I think the tie to ozempic is a little overblown, but is is a real issue. In a “traditional” weight loss strategy, you paired calorie deficit with an increase in p

This doesn’t use multicast. Using multicast is essentially impossible unless you are the ISP or you just want to run it on LAN.

I don’t think Netflix has a fast lane anywhere. 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

But it is apples fault that they let the alternatives stagnate and refuse (until recently) things like RCS that would make SMS suck less. It is clear that Apple considers iMessage a significant network effect and is not interested in having

I thought that is essentially what LLM's do? They learn what words/topics are associated with each other and then stream a response. In some ways, this is proof that Gemini isn't cheating... It is just doing typical LLM hal

The usual answer is that it gives time for the market to digest what was released before making knee-jerk trades on it. Most brokerages (even Robinhood) allow you to trade after-hours. But the volume is lower so it can be more volatile.

I think you would see the opposite. You would incentivize going to grad school for a few years under a student visa. Universities could name their price.

Nvidia Shield is Android TV. Netflix doesn't build for the Nvidia Shield in the same way that they don't build for every TV model from every manufacturer. They have an SDK that the manufacturers integrate.

250k is conservative for employee cost. A staff engineer at Google can reach 1 MM total comp. And add in all the overhead a company has (real estate, free food, perks, taxes, etc) 500k-700k is a little more realistic. 1500 employees across

It is consistent when the apps are consistent. 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 n

Typically, it means that if you put the TV in a dark room, it is calibrated to the same specifications that the monitors used in post-production used. Therefore, it is what the directors "intended" the video to look like since the

A few reasons I like them: 1. The goal is to come up with a workable solution - not to try to fold your brain inside out to optimize them like leetcode. They feel a little more "real-world" (though still firmly in the domain of pr

I don't understand how opening iMessage would sell existing iMessage data to anyone? 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

It is also illegal for them to strike without going through mediation, etc. Pilots are allowed to vote to go on strike at any time (and they can have picket lines as if they were on strike) but they cannot stop showing up for work. Pilots a

The Inflation Reduction Act was a massive piece of legislation. I'm curious which pieces would have this short-term (< 1 year) deflationary impact. My gut says that the Fed interest rates and natural cooling of the demand curve post

The interest rate pause and the loan forgiveness are different policies - one can exist without the other. The interest rate pause was not declared unconstitutional today - and it will continue until the loans are scheduled to be started ag

He/she is likely referring to iMessage. If your friends are on iPhone, there is social pressure for you to get an iPhone so everyone can use iMessage. Otherwise, iPhones drop to very basic SMS/MMS support.

No. The $1B breakup fee is only applicable if the deal falls apart for very specific reasons (trouble getting financing, regulatory concerns, etc). Musk cannot just wake up one morning, decide to not buy Twitter, and pay the breakup fee. He

Do you mean Horizon Forbidden West? Zero Dawn didn't have the greatest animations, but Forbidden West was a huge leap forward.

Non-cynically, it probably does introduce some issues in these legacy telecom systems. For example, if you run out of data for a month, many carriers will continue giving you access to the internet APN, but then block access to "extern

Thanks for the link. It looks interesting. I would be willing to pay $10 if the solution wasn't so hacky... Maintaining a system solely to run unsupported software (in a way that I would have to imagine is against ToS somewhere) is jus

RCS does not use MMS so attachment limits do not apply. RCS is its own technology. If everyone in a chat uses RCS, SMS and MMS are not used at all. It is like iMessage - but based on an open standard

It is solved if phones use RCS. RCS allows many of the features you love in iMessage - e2e encryption, typing indicators, large files, delivery receipts, reactions, etc. And it is all standards-based and backed by the carriers. Android phon

Yes. I prefer Android phones, but I don't want my choice of phone to impact the communication between my friends and family. The only reason I consider getting an iPhone is for iMessage. I would gladly pay a monthly fee so I could use

That is a strawman argument. Of course WebView should update. The question is whether the structure of incentives contributed to a risky release. If you "play the game", an error budget causes your releases to become riskier and r

Thank you for the perspective. Assuming you are correct, is there a way to reset expectations without blowing up the department? Not that we shouldn't be striving to be ethical, but it is clear that Google doesn't like the directi

But it is acting as if it wasn't a mutual agreement. Maybe "resignation" doesn't meet your criteria. But "firing" implied that the employee wanted to keep their job but the company ended it. Would you accept &q
