Wait, why would having a non-Apple store being allowed in iOS affect you? If people want to install non-Apple approved apps from their own devices, it doesn't imply you have to do the same.

Actually, engineers in big companies have more control than it seems. After all, privacy is not only about intent, but also execution, and care needs to be taken at every level. Privacy requires engagement from all levels, and I'm this

Let me doubt that assessment. That would be true if (1) the 50-to-1 was true (doubt it); (2) what we feed the cattle is human-grade food and (3) 1 calorie of a plant was as nutritious as 1 calorie of meat.

Not because of deforestation, but because threats to orangutans. Most of the food animals eat is not human-grade, and a big part of it are by products of food for human consumption it would not be used anyways.

No, even if most of livestock feed was soy (I am pretty sure it was corn, but whatever), most of the food they are feed as dry matter is not edible by humans: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/

It does not make any sense, no matter how you look at it. Sure, you can see those "articles", but don't forget that those are going to be based on IQ tests, and those are correlated with intelligence and... wait for it... edu

Most of the benefits you mention come from weight loss, and almost any intervention that can cut weight during the first years would report similar improvements. Plenty of people lose weight, drop blood sugar and drop blood pressure by goin

As unethical as eating soy from a deforested area. Or eating mostly anything with sugar, canola oil or palm oil. But people don't ask those to be in non deforested areas, and they don't ask to increase the price to make sure soil

And we know how that has worked in royal families across Europe. In any case, your analogy was not this one in the first post, unless you are saying that higher caste meant higher IQ from the beginning.

That's a false analogy. Genetics can beat training but discrimination cannot be overcome without intervention. I'm a strong believer in equality of opportunities, but I feel that's constantly misunderstood. If your family can

The Onyx Boox 3 max is great for that. the main function I use (articles and books) is the split screen with notes in one side and book/article in the other. The main downside is the price (~$800). It is also bulkier than other options

And if you run a 400m once, you will have PTSD when you are on the blocks getting ready to run the next.

I'm not the OP, but I mostly agree with his comments. I have trained track and field for years, and bad running technique is highly correlated with injuries. I don't understand this mentality of running longer and longer distances
