I heard from a friend that executives in the Auto Industry were taking Zoom meetings from their boats early on in the pandemic. The bad PR from this pushed people back to the office.
In February and March in the SouthEast, I'll occasionally tune into listen only all calls, on the dock or the pontoon boat (this seat and table works well as a short term desk for some fresh air)
This is the resource I wish I had in 2018. Every grad school course had a Linear Algebra review lecture but never got into the Matrix Calculus I actually needed.
I just finished my first year in an AI bachelors, we saw Linear Algebra with basic matrix calculations and theorems, so much calculus that the notes take up 3GB space, physics, phycology and very outdated logic classes and basics to python which left many of the students wondering how to import a library
I had a college course use Lulu to print the notes into a textbook. The quality was good for a paperback. I think you're limited to black and white though. The formatting of the TeX notes could have been better, but that's probably on the professor to have fixed.
I don't really think of soda as being a serious component of someone's diet. I mean, it's totally optional, just drink water lol.
The main issue with sweeteners it seems is that people use them to justify eating/drinking non-foods. I wonder if the same effect comes up when people have like, roast chicken with a sweetened sauce rather than honey or equivalent.
I think you vastly underestimate soda consumption. There's some folks who legitimately almost don't drink water, and only drink soda instead. Switching to diet soda can easily be 300-800 calories gained back.
It's the same thing with beer, which is roughly the same calorie count as a soda of equivalent size. Folks switching from a 'regular' beer to light beer or (even better) liquor can easily drop weight due to the difference in calories between the two.
A pound of fat is ~3500 calories, so gaining 1 pound only requires you to eat (or, rather drink) ~24 sodas or beers over your maintenance rate of energy consumption.
Ah, you mean diet in the 'weight loss diet' sense. Yeah, I'd agree that generally if you're actively trying to diet full sugar soda is likely not going to be a main component.
Although, I will say that many MANY people have extremely poor education in terms of dieting... so there may not be the knowledge there.
I kind of just mean in general. Because weight loss for most people isn't about a diet that you do for a month or something. It's about what you eat forever.
You might be able to get away with drinking a ton of Coke if you're bulking and lifting in the gym or you're an avid cyclist, but for your average office jockey trying to get 2000-2500 calories in, if you get 500+ from soda you're really limiting what you can eat to meet your protein, fat, micronutrient needs.
Sugar is in lots of processed foods, not just Dr. Pepper. When the latest diet fad encouraged cutting fat, the brands turned to sugar. It's not just in food you think of as sweet-- check labels on yogurt, for example. It's often in bread, and BBQ sauce, ketchup, etc.
Definitely! You can tell that the idea of what constitutes high-tech changes over time. Alphaville (1965) has letters that look like they're made of stiff wires and The Terminator (College Roadshow Version) (1984) uses a 7-segment display style font (with plenty of liberties taken). Both of these look old-fashioned in retrospect but at the time probably evoked very modern imagery.
