Links to things I found interesting but didn't want to do a full blog post about.
- How a ‘fatally, tragically flawed’ paradigm has derailed the science of obesity. "People don’t get fat because they eat too much, consuming more calories than they expend, but because the carbohydrates in their diets — both the quantity of carbohydrates and their quality — establish a hormonal milieu that fosters the accumulation of excess fat."
- Portland, Oregon, Is Ground Zero for Violent Culture-War Clashes. And It’s Spreading. "The Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and other far-right extremist groups have turned the city into a proving ground."
- A Mathematician's Guided Tour Through Higher Dimensions. "The concept of a dimension seems simple enough, but mathematicians struggled for centuries to precisely define and understand it."
- Federal court greenlights TekSavvy’s appeal of CRTC wholesale rates ruling. "Wholesale rates and internet bills are a key issue in the 2021 federal election." This is potentially good news for Canadian internet users.
- Dark Energy Could Be Responsible for Mysterious Experiment Signals, Researchers Say. "What if a bunch of liquid xenon under the Apennine Mountains found 68% of the universe?"
- Porsche and Siemens Energy break ground on low-carbon e-fuel plant in Chile. "Electrolyzed hydrogen is combined with CO2 to make methanol, then gasoline."
