Really on point here. Having worked at a company where our VCs demanded we "do what Google does" and then had to adopt the entire "design system" approach, it ends up robbing UIs of anything fun, because all UIs become &

A far, far higher percentage of pedestrians than normal are blind/visually impaired in Crystal City. I lived there for several years, in a high rise that had numerous blind people living there. There are several offices/agencies

Completely unacceptable. See my other post in this thread talking about the high concentration of blind/visually impaired pedestrians in Crystal City. This is far more dangerous than if done in other places. I doubt the knucklehead g

I lived in Crystal City for several years (in the high rise right above the Buffalo Wild Wings on 23rd and Crystal Drive). This is actually a pretty big deal, and far more so than in other urban areas. Why? Because Crystal City has a far hi

There are too many variables to assume containment was the primary driver here. Obesity is a massive contributor to death, and we all know that no country in Western Europe is remotely close to the US in that category. Sweden took the oppo

There are a lot peer reviewed papers on this topic. Feel free to research them if you'd like. A few studies to google: CDC's January study, although that wasn't peer reviewed since it's published in MWMR, and those aren

Have you ever been to New Zealand, or Australia for that matter? I have. It's hard for most people to understand how utterly isolated they are unless they've traveled there. Countries like the US with land borders aren't able

You're exactly right. Public health in general has not pushed juice, but what I should have stated is they have been complicit in not condemning it and pushing for prominent labeling on juice. They've sat back and allowed it to

An adult can choose to eat it or not (I'm ignoring the addictive nature of concentrated sugar), but our public health establishment has been foolishly stupid (combined with industry marketing) at making people think that fruit juice is

It's pretty insane. I was born in 1981, and near as I can tell, I'm likely a bit luckier than most other Americans my age because I grew up in such a sparsely populated, rural area. Still, there's no question that even peop

This stuff should be banned outright. Fatty liver is a big deal. Insulin resistance is as well. Both lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, and Type II diabetes. The impacts on our health care system from these conditions dwarf anyth

What is the line here? Isn't the entire thread, including comments I'm responding to, political? I've had an account for 10 years. I get the sense that whenever I'm in any thread where many others are making similar, p

Trudeau is so odd to me. He speaks in this syrupy, soothing voice that makes me think I'm listening to NPR (it's the public news radio here in the states, infamous for its sleep inducing qualities). But that NPR voice is saying i

I think you are forgetting a few key details: 1.) You are taking a government's word for it. As a US citizen, I can tell you that you should never, ever do this. My attitude with any governing entity is to trust but verify. If they

Telling businesses that they have to fire people who aren't vaccinated is basically the government forcing people to get vaccinated.
