It's the manufactured scarcity which helps them make money most of the time. They have to create hype and desire and exclusivity... and repeat it indefinitely. They could change out of that cycle now that it's actually scarce... b

Sounds like bs. Traditionally, vaccines have been tried out in the poorest countries first... because it's easy to do if all you have to do for masses to show up is bribe the leaders and give hungry people free food. If things go wron

Yes, sprouting does waste away some of these proteins which are not good for us. Then, we're left with carbs which we can process much better, and fibre which we don't process but it's mostly OK to eat. But, overall, I think

No, we didn't co-evolve with plants eating their seeds. We found out ways to process them to make them edible and domesticated them, much later and have been doing so for a very short time. Most of the ones we eat are still toxic to us

Plants usually don't like their seeds eaten (unless of course they're sure that you'll not digest it or somehow still help them reproduce). And we didn't co-evolve with grains much. We domesticated them fairly recently.

Ethan doesn't know them personally. He's just speculating for comedic effect. I remember VERY SIMILAR stories that started circulating in the news when Chromebooks started to take off.

Your laws, which seem right to you, are only right to you because of your cultural values. So, ideally, companies should follow laws of governments they operate in. But we have seen over and over through history that companies bring their v

Those who are desperate enough and don't have a choice? Also, overwhelming amount of people have blind trust on vaccines, thanks to the PR efforts undertaken in the last decades to sell flu shots. So, many more people will take it than

Well, almost every industry could use more technologists. I don't think the energy industry has any more or less difficulties than anyone else.

When CentOS came about, Debian and Ubuntu were not serious competitors. Neither were Arch or openSUSE. There was no Amazon Linux either. Now, mature and much more popular alternatives have well established brand value.

Do you mean the arm version of Windows which runs on Surface Pro X? That can be virtualized. If you mean the regular x86_64 version of Windows, forget it. Docker Desktop uses qemu, which is the only way you can run an x86_64 OS on an arm64

Firefox made a mistake of getting paid by Google and getting too comfortable with it. I think they won't have much happening for them. I mean something could still happen, who knows? Maybe Huawei or Xiaomi or Canonical or IBM will see

I doubt how successful this will turn out to be because of the following reasons: - The old CentOS had a brand value, which Rocky Linux has to earn back all over again. - The old Red Hat was nice to CentOS or at least wasn't particular
