It's not clear they're referring to Sarvecchio. Some people think Sarvecchio is as good as real Parmigiano.

Oddly enough, I think someone like the author (self-taught background but perhaps lacking fundamentals), would thrive at a top computer science university. Of course, the difficulty is getting in. My experience at Berkeley is that all of

That's not really a mark against your school's curriculum. Web frameworks are still changing really fast. No university or community college is going to keep up. I did some web dev give years ago and I already feel pretty out of t

The programming-as-a-trade niche is filled by bootcamps. There are longer term bootcamps, if you think three months is too short. Bad signaling/reputation is the main negative about bootcamps and why many people prefer to go to a unive

The US government is already investing billions in carbon capture. Oil companies are also investing in this area. Coal companies are probably doing the same. I would guess Saudi Arabia is very interested in this area as well. I don't t

Same reason you would need it in California. Some people don't have insurance, against the rules.

There are a lot of decisions in dentistry that are subjective. There are a ton of borderline cases of cavities where you ask 5 dentists what they think, and 2 say to treat and 3 say to wait and see. This is what I'm talking about where

Yeah, but these same arguments apply in favor to the diode laser treatment the original article talks about. There is biological and chemical reasoning behind it. There are favorable vitro studies. And a couple of the systematic reviews lin

I've looked into this myself and one negative is that students still have some pressure to overtreat because students have graduation requirements (e.g. must do a certain number of fillings, crowns, etc.). Granted, having to run everyt

I mean, some things that dentists believe in do have strong evidence, like water fluoridation and fluoride in toothpaste. And some things dentists believe in don't, like flossing.

Wait, this is definitely news to me. I'm pretty sure secondary coverage becomes primary if you don't have personal insurance. I re-read the Amex terms and conditions and it says nothing about requiring primary coverage ( https:&#x

You should finish reading the article, the author's reasoning for each automaker is listed at the end, and pretty much addresses your points IMO.

That is mentioned in an update at the end of the article (so the article was last updated a few weeks ago).

If you think inflation was 20% over the past year, that's equivalent to saying someone's salary going from $100k to $119k in a year has resulted in them being poorer. That just doesn't pass the common sense test, IMO.

This epidemiologist points out several major flaws with that website. For one, the website selectively picks the best result from each paper, which results in the website aggregating a bunch of unrelated measurements, including measurements

I would caution against anyone supplementing with NAC for general health reasons (e.g. other than a specific condition like bronchitis). In mice, very high doses of NAC causes tumors to form. https://www.science.org/content&
