Nutrition researchers know a lot about diet. Or at least what constitutes a good diet. The reason you think “they don’t know” is a media ecosystem that hypes weak minor contrary results that usually disappear in further research and an entr

I don’t believe we are seeing the investments necessary that would indicate this will happen. Memory makers, for example, have sold out their inventory for several years, but instead of investing to manufacture more, they’re shutting down t

That’s not a misleading statement for what they’re trying to say. They wouldn’t disagree with what you say. The point they’re making is we don’t know. Maybe 92% of the remaining money is being spent usefully towards programs and 0% as overh

My issue with this post isn’t so much the post itself but with what it demonstrates about culture today. 20 years ago one would have written the same post on Blogger but the odds are it would have been framed as “here’s how you can clean up

If the U.S. is losing talent to anywhere else in the world isn’t it losing a relative advantage or increasing a relative disadvantage with China, even if China is not the one benefiting from the lost talent?

You’re right. The only reason you see Indians is because Indians knly hire Indians. It can’t be anything else. Completely unrelated, have you walked into a non nuclear/biomedical engineering engineering department in any IS college in

Hey, when American workers decided to spend the 3 years or so they had leverage over their bosses after the pandemic to insist that, well, actually, there is no advantage in working together and in person, and that there is no advantage to

The assumption here is that clothes are being thrown away because they are worn out. Except that’s not why the majority of clothes are thrown away. The real reason they are thrown away is because of size changes and fashionability. HN proba

That clearly means it’s not required. How does Google know whether or not the sender has a valid reason? They cannot know that so for them to reject an email for it means they would reject emails that have valid reasons as well.

Because this makes it harder for future administrations. As long as this was the court approved status quo (this has been through the Supreme Court before) a future reality based administration could re-implement it. However, now that they’

Democracy != Direct voting. It’s never meant that. So people can “believe” in Democracy just fine and still think direct voting is bad. Also, Democracy doesn’t even mean “if a majority of people believe X, therefore X”.

So apparently you get one chance to sign documents while you are being forcibly detained with no access to legal representation. Lol. Yeah, that sounds like a great way to run a country.

Do they also lock you up on the property for 5 months while they figure out how to remove you from the property? People’s inability to comprehend the need for basic legal rights like Habeas Corpus is incredible. We literally have leaders wh

We need to get away from the NOVA system. It’s terribly broken, which is unsurprising since it was never designed to do what it does, and ends up placing healthy, non addictive foods under the ultra processed category 4, while including hyp

Not really. Saudi Arabia and Iran struck a China brokered deal several years ago and have been meeting regularly since. In fact, they recently met and put out a statement condemning Israel’s attacks on Iran.
