If it is true that frequent, brief, moderately intense exercise is that beneficial, I can see several ways that office workers can fit that into their workday.
If you work in a multi-floor office building: when going to the restroom, walk up stairs to a restroom on a floor above the one you work on; if you go out for lunch, walk to lunch, then walk up the stairs when you get back; if you are going to a meeting, leave you desk a couple of minutes early and walk up and down the stairs before going to the meeting room.
All of these ideas have something in common: walking up stairs is as close to HIIT that most people get during their day.
When I was about 13 years old (60 years ago) I discovered a programmed instruction text that taught machine language programming. Not assembly language, machine language. It would have a page of explanation, followed by a multiple choice question. Your choice of answer would direct you to another page in the book. If your answer was correct, you'd see the next page of instruction. If you were wrong the page you landed on would give an explanation that would hopefully clear up your misunderstanding. I gave a book report on the book which cemented my nerd cred for the rest of my time in high school.
It was another 4 years before I was in college and was able to run a program on an actual computer. An Algol program on a Burroughs B5500 mainframe, complete with punched card reader and line printer. After I graduated I got a job with a defense contractor, and spent the rest of my career working for defense contractors. At one of my jobs I worked on the flight computer software for the Air Force C-130 cargo plane and I would never fly in one of those planes, but that's a story for another day.
One of the things I spotted in my casual looking around is this statement: "Therefore, as part of the FDA approval process, Gilead was required to develop an alternative form of the chemical — known as a “prodrug”— that could be taken by mouth." [1]
If Gilead agreed to develop an alternative drug that had fewer adverse side effects in exchange for FDA approval of their preferred (more expensive) drug, then I think the lawsuit has a great deal of merit.
My first job after graduation was programming and running a PDP-8 in a Psych lab (my degree was in Psychology with a minor in Computer Science). Data transfer was interesting from today's perspective. I would have to print out data to a teletype machine with the paper tape writer turned on, then take the paper tape to the computer center (where the Burroughs B5500 lived) load the paper tape into a teletype machine connected to the mainframe, and after that the mainframe would output the data on punched cards. After all the typos were corrected on the punched cards, the Psych Grad students could run their data analysis using programs also on punched cards.
One interesting episode I remember to this day was when we got some error messages from the PDP-8. I ran a diagnostic that said the one of the boards in the computer was experiencing intermittent errors. I ran a diagnostic which said yes one of the boards was failing. We had a maintenance contract, so I called DEC and they sent out a repair person. He ran the diagnostic again and confirmed that a board was failing. I expected him to just replace the board. But No! He pulled the board out of the computer, unsoldered a transistor, and soldered in a new transistor. After running the diagnostic to confirm that the problem was fixed he went on his way and we were back in business. Nowadays if you get a hardware failure you have to replace an entire Motherboard, or a memory board.
I'm wondering whether they could ship the film masters to the Internet Archive. They might even pursuede the Internet Archive to pay the shipping costs.
I recently signed up for Prime after resisting for years. The only reason I signed up was for the rapid shipping. I was doing a lot of traveling and I needed to be able to get some stuff quickly. After my current trip I will almost certainly do whatever is required to cancel.
This reminds of what happened to a Mars lander when one software team was doing calculations with the metric system and another team was using English measurements.
I really liked this article until I went out and looked at how much Leica M2s cost. The project may only cost $100 in Raspberry Pi parts, but it looks like acquiring a Leica M2 can cost thousands of dollars.
Yes, people do make mistakes; often. Airline pilots have long checklists of things they have to do before taking off, and more checklists for dealing with problems that inevitably crop up.
The Copyright Office has decreed that AI generated content cannot be Copyrighted. If these books have a copyright listing then they are a violation of the rules. I doubt if the "author" is at risk for legal repurcussions, beyond not being able to sue for copyright violation.
I remember reading this quite a while ago. My elaboration of this technique is to write the last sentence in my head, but only put the first part down on (paper) the end of the file. If I'm lucky, when I come back to it, I can read the first part of the last sentence, and memory will tell me how the sentence ends, I can just keep going.
I have the Freestyle Libre system. The probe that "pokes through your skin" only happens once every two weeks, and my experience is that inserting a new Freestyle sensor hurts less than the average finger stick blood test. Before I got the Freestyle Libre I was doing finger sticks 4 or more times a day. With the Freestyle Libre I am checking my blood glucose an average of 20 times a day, and if I download the data from the Reader I can see glucose readings every 15 minutes, 24 hours a day.
I'm 72 years old and diabetic. There are significant limits on what I can do. My wife and I will do 30 minute walks 5 to 7 days a week. We go fast enough to get my heart rate up to the lower end of the aerobic zone. I also do strength training at the YMCA 3 or 4 days a week. I use the machines rather than the free weights. I worry about getting injured using free weights. I can't do many of the exercises other people have described here, but I do what I can. My weight is in the middle of the Normal BMI range, my diabetes is reasonably well controlled, and I think my strength is good for a 72 year old.
My recommendation would be to find an exercise that you enjoy doing, do it often enough to improve your health, and take your time; don't rush it. If you injure yourself it'll set you back to the beginning.
Opening more warehouses would require hiring more people. I remember reading that turnover among Amazon warehouse workers is exceptionally high. Sooner or later Amazon will have to raise what they pay these workers, which will drive prices for products sold on Amazon to increase.
