The zeitgeist has pushed the idea carbs/grains and sugar are terrible over the last 40 years on and off, so that seems to say more about the medical industrial complex, than anything. That's fair, but if that message has been push

Wouldn't the side effects, combined by the accompanying lifestyle changes key to making this medication most effective, show its not a panacea or cure-all? The fact there are these second order effects with such incredible impacts wou

The main factor that you fail to mention is living cost, and not the internet, which made it possible and desirable to frequently move in search of opportunity. It didn't mean there weren't people that lived long-term in communiti

Is that more Orwellian than say anti-theft camera systems or red light cameras at stoplights?

I mostly agree. However, I think it has more to do with the market power MS has across multiple domains.

Did you read the article? That is not the case whatsoever... They labeled them all as containing whiskey but none of them did. Just whiskey flavorings. The rational consumer should find this deceptive because it says it has one ingredient w

~$60k for a specialized tool makes sense However it's clear we are years and years of development away from this actually being relevant over conventional tools. It really seems like were just giving money to Microsoft for developing w

You either didn't get to the end of the article or really missed the author's entire point. She doesn't remotely seek to conflate her brother's mental illness to climate change. She is simply juxtaposing a personal exper

Super relevant. None of the OP even has to do with the author's average day so it's doubly disingenuous

It has actually rebounded to 1 percent less than it was prepandemic, and health risks were legitimate reasons for people to not work for a period. Really it shows since 2002 the rate has gone down fairly consistently, show overtime it'

The article specifically mentions how all the datasets their study used were NOT self reported, but measured. It's one of the biggest arguments for why their study was more trustworthy and why the assumptions/accusations were spur

It's unfortunate how this conflates a lot of confounding things with sensible ideas. "People first" language is a concept I'm actually a fan of; here it's used arbitrarily in the most ridiculous ways. This type of t

Wouldn't that be more related to parallel processing power and throughout capabilities than feasibility? More data in any situation where bandwidth is already maximized will lead to entropy and noise. However, if the capabilities were

Why? Because reality. Since the advent of motor vehicles, I would argue risk has generally scaled with the efficiency and power of vehicles. At the minimum, for 70 years we have known that danger to both pedestrians and safe drivers is ever

For most businesses, cash is a far more likely point of failure. Taking in large amounts of cash is ripe for robbery. It's also why a lot of places don't accept $100's after a certain time and etc because it gets really risky

This article is a repost from RT, as mentioned in the tiny italic footer. Even with that in mind, the authors themselves state these are "alleged" accusations lacking any sources or evidence. They mostly just claim over and over

You gotta love how a roughly %3 decrease in year-to-year revenue leads to a %97 decrease in the stock price and an increase in the net loss from ~$30 million to ~$300 million Despite the concentration of highly intelligent and educated folk

I find this post and your original comment quite elucidating. It illustrates the main dilemma I have with Alan watts' and western new philosophy. At the least bit, it's all incredibly ambiguous to the point of losing most meaning
