Cash loses value every year. This has been true for every currency. We don't have late 20th century inflation but people who know basic personal finance do not want to hold too much cash right now.

This has been true ever since cash supply was controlled by central banks.

Nvidia is selling hardware. What the buyers are doing with it doesn't change anything about Nvidia. A company selling knives is not considered a butcher or cook, despite the main uses of knives being just that.

Let's qualify spreadsheets as software: critical software should not be made by a non-technical person that doesn't know software engineering principles. I guess Google Sheets invalidates some of my arguments, but Excel certainly

The question is not whether it works or not. It's that it becomes the bottleneck of your infrastructure. Those users are accustomed to doing their work in a spreadsheet so it makes it harder to automate the process. Spreadsheets are am

A spreadsheet doesn't scale, is easily lost or corrupted or stolen, doesn't have security and people that tend to use it don't add data validation and don't care about atomic properties or data consistency.

Your body does not need a lot of salt to function healthily. Sure it makes everything tastier, but salt added to every dish is a danger to your health. Where I live you would get almost all your daily recommended intake by your usual portio

Then, in your opinion, what qualifies as a bad diet? You just removed the two biggest factors.

It tastes bland because our taste buds have adjusted to our salt consumption. I eat with no added salt and my food tastes just fine since I adapted. Over-salting is one of the causes of the most common way of dying. I couldn't say for

Natural sweet things are healthy (fruits are an example). Processed food where sugar was added to make it addictive is not. I would argue most pastries are not healthy but you can make them at home and remove 50% of the sugar if you really

Okay, sure it's been studied for longer but until very recently it wasn't really in the debate—or rather, in the average Joe's mind. Go to a nutritionist and they will tell you to eat less than you consume despite it being mu

Funny that you say it, but I think Japan doesn't eat any healthier than the average European country. Coming from the USA, I can see how the conclusion might change. I come from a country that isn't well-known for its cuisine but

Alcohol (and tobacco) is bad for you even after one sip, though. Not sure you can have a vegetables or fruits overdose or even be addicted to them, but you cannot have too much of those. And to drown yourself by drinking water, you would

Good point. My point still stands that it's possible to have ad revenue with unintrusive ads. For instance, I'm fine with video creators having sponsored sequences because I can skip them if I want. And there's no way for the

I think it's a good change. I'm not necessarily in favor of prohibition, but drinks—at least sugary ones—are engineered to be addictive. And no, diet doesn't cut it.
