  • I wonder if they would have bought it had the dev priced it at $10k/year

  • It wouldn't take much google-fu to get a worked example of good authentication in whatever language. She can't have tried, she must have just gone "programming 104 covered how to SQL, I can use that"

  • We lived upon glaciers last ice age (except for tropical people and probably those in the southern hemisphere) if we weren't hyper carnivores then we couldn't have lived in Europe, we couldn't have crossed to the Americas. We ate animals that could eat the plants that could grow on the ice and the mountain tops poking through the glaciers, there was no fruit, no grain, no root vegetables, no beans, no cruciforms. There hasn't been enough time since then for us to become herbivores, though we inherited much ability to eat many plants from the herbivorous apes we evolved from

  • They did that with guinea pigs in testing for vitamin C content in food (if the rodents got scurvy, the food had no acerbic effect)

    Unfortunately when they were fed beef they starved, so beef was recorded as "not tested" USDA still records beef as "not tested, presumed zero)

    I have eaten only beef (every day), eggs (a dozen two weeks in 5), yoghurt (Greek style) (1kg monthly at most), fish (twice a year on holidays at the beach), wine (three occasions in four weeks) and occasionally beer (a couple of litres once a month) for 3 years - none of which are recognised as having vitamin C. Scurvy sets in in a month or so without vitamin C, and kills a few weeks after untreated symptoms, so were my foods actually devoid of the vitamin I would be years dead. I guess I'm a better guinea pig than a guinea pig is for acerbic testing.

  • There are millions of people who would disagree.

    It seems to me that anyone whose ancestors were in Europe during the last ice age is well adapted to an entirely carnivorous diet because we've only had 10k years to have winter access to plant based food, which isn't enough time to adapt to a plant based diet, let alone to lose the diet that we conquered the world with

    Vegans do badly without supplements, most carnivore diet followers don't take any supplements other than salt, and many don't take salt.

    How does your model of metabolism deal with living on a glacier?

  • I live in (not tropical) Australia, so there are practically no animals that are dangerous (camels and big roos might do you harm if you got them at speed in a car)

    No lions, tigers, wolves, or bears here. No hippos, no elephants

    We have crocodiles way up north, but even they won't go after you if you stay out of the water

    Spiders, octopuses, jellyfish and snakes:

    Harmful spiders are redbacks (which are the same spider as black widows) and Sydney funnelwebs, neither of which chase you or seek your shoes (do check under the dunny seat for redbacks though, but it's not an issue in indoor toilets). Don't dig up web lined holes with your hands and you won't be bitten by a funnelwebs

    The blue ringed octopus is the only dangerous octopus and it tries to keep out of your way. If it is trapped in a small tidal pool don't pick it up and you won't be envenomated

    Jellyfish - don't swim in the ocean where there are signs telling you not to swim in the ocean. Box jellies and irukandji are regional and seasonal and the beaches they threaten are well signposted (that's also in the tropics and just south of the tropics)

    Snakes - Australian snakes aren't dangerous. They are highly venomous but they don't want to risk tangling with humans; humans eat them, and have for 40,000 years (that's 4 times longer than humans have had bread). Give them room and they'll move off. They pretty much won't bite unless you corner them, try to catch them, or step on them.

    In most of Australia you could sleep unprotected, with your food in an esky at your feet

    Australian parrots are big on getting hammered on fermenting fruit

  • BODMAS or BOMDAS in Australia since we call ordinals ordinals

    Brackets have pretty much always been needed to disambiguate precedence between addition and subtraction (which is really all addition) and between multiplication and division

  • Australia and the US have a reciprocal agreement which makes it so any Australian who wants to emigrate to the US can, and quite a few Americans can easily move to Australia. On the America to Australia side it is always oversubscribed, so it's moderately hard to get to Australia. I wonder if timing the application is important.

  • The sensor is no guarantee. Quite a few low carb dieters use constant glucose monitors (CGMs) to identify which foods they should avoid

  • It used to mean that. First World was US aligned (or at least US friendly), Second World was Soviet aligned, Third World was not aligned

    Now though, First World means developed nations, Third World means poor nations, Second World has fallen out of use

  • I don't think anything is preying upon gorillas, the biggest predators for chimps are chimps and humans, though young ones are taken by birds too

    Humans in the wild are prey to crocodile, big cats, bears, wolves and young ones from an even longer list

    Humans and chimpanzees are definitely predators. Humans who lived through the recent ice age outside the tropics were pure carnivores as no edible plants grow on glaciers; all the big animals and most of the dangerous ones went extinct just after humans got to an area

    Bonobos eat fruit. Not much eats them

    The apes are all pretty good at defending themselves and are their own worst enemy

  • Other theories are for depth perception for getting at fruit in trees, another is the first but they need depth perception because they're bigger than a squirrel

  • Gorilla are pure herbivores, chimpanzees are predators which mostly eat plants, I don't know about Bonobos, all that's talked about them is their seed life, and homo varies from pure carnivore (in cold places, those with few edible plants) to scavenger to omnivore (especially in the tropics and places with fruit) depending on environment

    Homo, of course, has been lying to itself about what food best sustains it, we can't live happily on the excess grain we've been producing for the last 10k years

  • Unmitigated capitalism. The rest of the capitalist world voted for mitigation like safety nets and public healthcare and anti monopoly laws and their enforcement.

    The cyberpunk genre is only a little more unrestrained than the US economy
