We can imagine all we want, but that's up to the markets to decide, not you, advertisers, or anyone else. Advertisers just want to have an audience they can make money off of. If reddit scares away what it's trying to sell to adve

It's also not "obvious" due to the fact that this whole uprising started with the firing of a female employee. If this demographic of over 160 million users is in fact made up of largely "women hating teenagers", wh

For all we know, calorie restriction is effective because it is ketogenic almost by definition. It wouldn't be surprising considering how much overlap there seems to be between the benefits of ketosis and calorie restriction in gener

While that is true, it's also good to take into consideration the fact that the rationale/hypothesis behind a diet plan doesn't have to be right in order for the diet itself to be useful. Personally, the paleo hypothesis has

It appears I'm in the minority here somehow, but I am a strong auditory learner. Like to the point where I sometimes suspect I'm borderline dyslexic, but I don't have any of the usual symptoms of it. Meanwhile, I can listen

That may be true, but all it would take for OP's argument to be valid would be for much of the rest of society to share the same misinformed beliefs about these fields as well.

Yes, and even compared to ES7, Dart still fares rather well. Most people that doubt this seem to not have actually tried the Dart workflow and core libraries. The productivity gain from those two features alone makes it compelling against a

Why would there be a monoculture? JS would still exist for a good while after that, and if anything, it would've likely inspired more competition to flourish in the browser space. Secondly, while the language may appear similar, a larg

> I don't consider dha/epa and carnosine to be essential nutrients We're at a point where we don't even know what we don't know about nutrition, so it's fair to have "beliefs" like this I suppose.

Not really, considering the nutritional profile of insects. There are some nutrients you can't readily get from plant-based foods, or only in poor amounts, like DHA/EPA, carosine, lysine, etc. Not to mention all the things you&#x2

From my own experience and observing others, that indeed seems to be the logical conclusion of it, and it's something that I see happen a lot. "Analysis Paralysis" a friend of mines likes to call it. It can be mildly annoying

If the industry does publish mostly men, then reading books mostly by men in that genre is inevitable. And if that is true for the industry, it could just be that not enough female authors are actually looking to get published. I have exper

Nothing probably happened to "all the other authors", they most likely just haven't existed in that sub-genre yet very much. It would take a long time for enough people to become interested in writing books for certain fields

A lot of calls for discrimination are also jumping the gun in assuming that what they're witnessing aren't just expected statistical outcomes. I have yet to see someone making claims of bigotry in cases like these actually compare
