Yet how many of our jobs wouldn't exist without advertising ... I'm not saying it's right or wrong just a fact. Advertising is foundational to many modern industries, especially digital ones. Social platforms, media companies, search engines, news, free apps, podcasts, streaming tiers. A ton of your daily internet exists because ads bankroll the whole mess. Without advertising, half the tech economy collapses into subscription-only fiefdoms. Unfortunately if advertising vanished tomorrow, lots of companies would die, tons of jobs would evaporate, and the economy would contort into something unrecognizable.

As an atheist if I saw this (levitation) in person I would very quickly become a believer. That said the lack of any real evidence is telling considering this would be the greatest marketing material for recruiting new members.

As an "eligle" (yes, you need permission to be spoken to in English) anglophone,born and raised in Quebecistan, relocation is becoming a real consideration. The amount of resources wasted on language issues while so many other more pertinent issues need addressing is unconscionable.

I'm ready to pay for a service like this that can let me use my own openai key, can maintain privacy and work with OAuth.

>> To build muscle, you need to eat more calories than you burn. You need to have a net calorie surplus.
>Not true, can be done, you can find examples on the internet.
>There is no need for a caloric surplus to build muscles. Muscles are build from amino acids, not "calories". The body "eats up" muscles LAST: it will go through your fat first.
Per the latest science, discussed at length in this podcast, and despite any anecdata, this is false. You cannot synthesize muscle without adequate protein (aprox. 1gr per lbs of bodyweight) and a caloric surplus unless anabolic steroids are used. If you have sources for your claim of body recomposition other than ancedata please do provide it.

Came here for advice but gotta say I'm disappointed so few comments mention any scientific sources. Something I would expect on HN.

Born and raised here 40+ years ... The language laws are ridiculous and getting worse, the roads are horrible and getting worse, traffic is horrible and getting worse, salaries are not on par with the rest of Canada and our winters would be considered apocalyptic to anyone not used to it. If you're listening North America, nothing to see here move along. I would move in a heartbeat if my family roots weren't here.

Unlike glucose, fructose (sugar from fruit) is metabolized by the liver, and then converted to fat. Maybe fruit eaters were simply able to store more energy as fat which supplied the nutrition and/or extended survival required to evolve larger brains.
