I can scarcely find any powerful entity interested in opposing social media. It clearly expands the reach of American influence in the world, so the state must be happy. It’s good for advertising, so pretty much all businesses are happy too

Background code analysis in Visual Studio grinds my windows VM to a halt after every few keystrokes. Yet they spend time speeding up colorization of bracket pairs, which worked just fine for the last 10 releases or so.

FWIW, my reading of the tea leaves is that fat alone is fine, sugar alone is bad, and sugar+fat maybe worse. The basic logic of the anti-sugar sentiment is this: Excess of blood sugar is toxic and so it triggers a shot of insulin, intended

The term came from https://www.thecoddling.com/ but here I refer to a specific aspect: Suppose your reaction to discomfort is to retreat or isolate yourself from it. Having done so you will find that your calibration of com

- Sugar. - Social networks. - The coddling of the mind. I think you will find that all three have vicious cycles built into them.

SEC clarified that the program must not be launched or a lawsuit will follow. As to why - apparently SEC is collecting information to provide a guidance. You don’t want to rush guidance.

I have to say the boogieman that is "inflammation" is a bit sus. Inflammation, as I understand it, is the body fighting against perceived infection. Why should it be the root of all evil?
