Played TOW, FF7R and DG. Yes all are games, but that's about it. They don't compare to each other, let alone to Cyberpunk 2077. Lets go with TOW as it is the only first person game. How can you compare the dialogues in CP 2077, where you can walk away and move around to those fixed camera frames of TOW?


Except that Linux usage on Azure has surpassed that of Windows a long time ago...


And I was talking specifically about Microsoft products like Office365, Exchange, and Sharepoint.


Microsoft's interest in on-premises business with these products is waning, just as the market share for them is also waning. They most assuredly aren't trying to win the war against Linux on the server. That war has been won (by Linux) and MS is off chasing other revenue streams that are growing.


Hacker News has a paywall problem.


How did you answer this question: Do you take her to be your wife? Do you promise to be faithful to her in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health, to love her and to honor her all the days of your life?


That's where it all started... After answering that question with "yes" and realizing what was coming his way he swore to always answer with "no" from that point forward.


Yeah, because being married makes you a slave, especially now with women having rights and all that?

Seriously, this stupid meme needs to die. Marry if you want, don't if you don't. But stop perpetuating these stupid clichés.


It’s not only about spirituality but about health. Sure, a hot core power class gives you flexibility for that time because breathing more makes your body alkaline. But afterwards you crave acidic food to balance the body. The food you crave is high in protein, table salt, processed, leaches calcium from your bones and makes you stiff in the long run and for the rest of your day.


Food does not leech calcium from the bones. High protein foods improve calcium absorption and increase calcium in your urine as a side-effect. No bone lost there.

Can't find the study, but they made people eat irradiated calcium, and those with higher protein just peed out the irradiated calcium. Bones stay intact.


Let me summarize what I took away from the study you posted:

> One mechanism by which high dietary protein could induce bone loss may be related to the metabolic acid load engendered by such a diet. Meat and fish, which are high in sulfur-containing amino acids, generate appreciable fixed metabolic acid loads, whereas fruits and vegetables generate little acid and, in fact, may under certain circumstances generate more base than acid.

> Paradoxically, when fracture is the principal outcome, low protein intakes are associated with lower rates of fracture in most epidemiologic studies

My point about craving processed food high in table salt and sulfur-containing amino acids—which ought to be also high in protein—after an alkalizing high intensity training is still valid.

Here's the study I was looking for. It's all radioactive calcium.

There might be an effect on muscle tissue but it's still quite unresearched as to how does the body counter the acidity.


If you care about the environment the best you can do is to stop using bitcoin and become vegan. And don’t use the Internet. Every single human wastes energy. Make something more efficient and it will gain currency, thus harming the environment even more. Technology and environment just don’t mix. You can talk as much as you want, but unless you become a full fledged Amish, that talk will always be hypocritical.


It seems the MIT lives in a world were only Bitcoin and Ethereum exist. Seriously, who besides Vitalik Buterin himself considers Ethereum as one of today’s most efficient cryptocurrencies?


There are exceptions to the rule though, Donald Thomas jumped higher at his 7th attempt at high jumping as a basketball player (not measuring his run-up, shoes without spikes, arms behind back to land on the mat as if breaking his fall), than years later at the olympics. Sometimes natural talent beats all the science of the world.


Thanks, this is an interesting story I wasn't aware of. Having said that, I think it only partly suggests that 'sometimes natural talent beats all the science of the world.' After all, even when he first tried high jump, it sounds like he was on a collegiate basketball team, where he'd have been going through closely monitored training. (Not as precise or dialed in as an average Olympian, but still, probably pretty solid). To me his subsequent decline in high-jump suggests one of two possibilities:

1) He was gifted at jumping, but got exceptionally unlucky with timing in that his natural abilities were at their peak when he first tried jumping and basically declined constantly thereafter.

2) High-jump training is far from optimized (at least for all athletes), and potentially has a lot to gain from adopting basketball training techniques, since clearly those worked better for Thomas.

In either case, I'm not sold that this story is representative of a general trend whereby the science of the world can only take you so far - simply because those with incredible natural talent, more often than not, also have incredible science already backing them these days. At the elite levels, my strong belief is that it takes both.


Must have been really tough for the Spanish conquistadors being greeted as gods by the people of the New World :)


You don’t rationalize on hopium.
