The problem is that overweight people are more likely to come from lower socioeconomic levels. (i.e.: obesity rate are high among poorer people).
So you're putting additional financial burden on people who are already struggling financially.

I agree on the "cultural" problem part, though my own impression is that the insane-level of car-centricity also plays a role.

contrast: I also have a high education and a computer desktop job. I do spend 1 hour commuting each day by bicycle. Here around it's much more bike-able than in the US. Lots of parents here around have cargo bikes, kid seats, etc. to bring their kids (and I'll probably invest into something similar once our daughter is old enough for after-school activities). Whenever my wife plays tennis, she travels to the sports terrains on inline skate. Cars do exist here around, but they are absolutely not a necessity.
(and not exactly car, but still same philosophy: my university building is not a skyscraper, it has a mere 10 floors in total from basement to roof-top cafeteria, so climbing stairs up and down when going to other floors is trivial to do).
Whenever I am not at the keyboard I am moving.
Whenever the titular 70% US adult is moving, it's just a couple of steps between their desk and their car.

If anyone had been listening to what he was saying, they would have had no idea what he was saying? The grandiosity masked the complete deficit not merely of ideas, but even of reason and coherence? They elected a mean-spirited moron.

Is it April 1? Or is this another manufactured moral panic?

Xi is a lot of things, but a tinpot dictator he isn't. I despise everything the regime running China stands for, but if we're going to look at the PRC's ability to maintain itself and even expand itself economically and scientifically. Xi may die tomorrow, but the PRC isn't going anywhere. If progress is measured in research, have you paid attention to how much basic research is coming out of China these days, as compared to the West, which seems bound and determined to decimate academic capacity, or hand it over to a bunch monomaniac billionaires.

You made an unfair comparison and then declared victory. I mean sure, if I plug my MacBook into a $20000 battery backup UPS I can probably get a few weeks out of the fucking thing, but that's not really any kind of rational comparison at all. Out of the box, MacBooks having some of the best battery performance of any laptop. You're comparison was the equivalent of "Oh sure, your Mustang can go 200mph, but if I take my Honda Accord and weld a rocket engine to the back, I can beat the sound barrier!

I think actually charging him and putting him in prison would have been better. But the Biden administration, and Garland in particular, were cowards and were afraid of creating a civil war. While Trump behind bars may have been able to win an election, and his imprisonment may have caused some sort of general MAGA uprising, the US Government has literally crushed and burned to the ground entire states that were in rebellion, so this all comes down to Biden, Garland and the DOJ being cowards, and not meaningfully taken Trump to task, and leave it to states to try to pick up the slack while they dithered.

I'm so very confused. I thought NPR was the fakest of fake news, a left wing Pravda outfit deliberately spreading misinformation to hurt Donald Trump... and thus America.

It's almost as if MAGA is comprised of morons and liars, who literally said anything to get Trump back into office, and deflect from his, and their, lies.

So basically, if you sacrifice hardware capacity, you get more battery life, as opposed to the pretty damned phenomenal Apple battery life out of the box.

And you feel this is something to brag about...

Not anything. I'm sure when Federal troops take over the State Capitol and Newsom is put in prison for unspecified but certainly horrible crimes, the military governor that takes his place will make sure none of this kind anti-corporate nonsense continues.

Fuck off you illiterate moron

I have a plain Debian image I can pop in about 90% of the machines we're removing Win10 from without any hassle. When the hell is the last time you installed Linux?

It's Powershell, it probably takes up 2gb in libraries.

Well, that, and they're likely to start harassing their coworkers, because they have be inculcated with the belief that every utterance that comes from their is not merely profound, but their absolute right to blurt out.

What I hope is that some large enough entity (and the EU and its Digital Service Act (DSA) seem a good candidate for that) will force OpenAI to always clearly mark ads and promotions (similar to how sponsor segments are required to be marked in online video content made by streamers and youtubers).

Because of course OpenAI will try hard (and sell it so to advertiser) to make the advertisement sneaky and seemingly "organic recommendations" (as a reference point see how Ads on Google search results evolved from clear ad boxes on the side, into trying as hard as possible to mimic search results and have the people accidentally clic on them). And of course OpenAI will try to bullshit their way into publicly saying it's hard to track what though process drove the chatbot into recommendation something, while at the same time the marketing pitches to advertisers will be guaranteed perfect blending of ads into the chat flow.
