Some, but sarcopenia caused by rapid weight loss is a well known phenomenon. I think the tie to ozempic is a little overblown, but is is a real issue.
In a “traditional” weight loss strategy, you paired calorie deficit with an increase in physical activity (cardio, resistance training, etc). This increased physical activity helped protect you from muscle loss (your body tended to recognize that muscle was important so it burned fat at a higher rate)
With ozempic, people can lose weight without changing their sedentary lifestyle. Since your muscles are not needed, your body is free to grab energy from wherever it can. In some studies, almost half of weight loss can come from lean tissue.
Is it better to for an obese person to lose weight vs not lose weight? Absolutely. But it would be even better if they also changed their lifestyle to protect their muscle mass.
I'm curious how is lean mass measured and why do we think what we measure is actually lean.
I'm not denying that under some circumstances like in the case of severely obese patients their bodies might think protein is better energy source than fat but in people with normally functioning bodies it shouldn't happen a lot especially if they get enough protein in their weight loss diet.
Netflix does offer to give servers to ISPs to put in their datacenters. So if your ISP is seeing congestion on the IX links, it is entirely possible that Netflix still works fine (because the traffic doesn’t leave the ISP and is therefore not hitting the congestion). But that is not a “fast lane”
You're missing the point. Netflix is fast in these situations because your client can access the server in the ISP's data center and video traffic remains local to the ISP and doesn't traverse the congested link to the IX.
I think you would see the opposite. You would incentivize going to grad school for a few years under a student visa. Universities could name their price.

That's a significant change in immigration policy that's not covered in 'pause H1B'. I agree in principle that if you align the incentives like this, it would work out.
Nvidia Shield is Android TV. Netflix doesn't build for the Nvidia Shield in the same way that they don't build for every TV model from every manufacturer. They have an SDK that the manufacturers integrate.
250k is conservative for employee cost. A staff engineer at Google can reach 1 MM total comp. And add in all the overhead a company has (real estate, free food, perks, taxes, etc)
500k-700k is a little more realistic. 1500 employees across all domains (engineering, marketing, product management, customer service, etc) isn’t a huge number
