It may be the case that timing of meals affects how your body stores the resources from them. Anecdotally, I've also felt that if I eat the same amount of food earlier in the day, not right before bed, that it doesn't stick as eas

I don't agree with this comment at all. Skepticism isn't denying the claim or advocating an alternative one, it is promoting thoroughness and responsibility. The uninspected claim is quite a bit more dangerous.

Don't bezels make it easier to hold without touching the screen? Thin bezels on a tablet just seem uncomfortable.

When you put it that way it makes it sound like an organization that just strongarms others into joining it, rather than it maybe actually being in their best interest.

Then perhaps this is not the appropriate metaphor. Which is why I clarified with choices regarding food and shelter.

It should not be up to individuals to decide whether to buy an apple or invite someone into their home? Your rephrasing is not only hyperbolic but also just a theory. Obviously people would answer no. You might assume people are dumber than

Whether vaccines work or not may have a scientific answer, but it is still up to individuals to choose to use them for themselves. Similarly, people make the individual choices to purchase an apple or invite someone into their home. EU part

The problem isn't that it's leaked, it's that it's taken as true without further regard, despite changes since then or even untruths contained within, because it is what some people want to believe to be true. The "

EU is more than just a trade agreement and there is nothing preventing trade agreements between the UK and the EU from being developed post-brexit.

Haven't we seen from the steele dossier that these things can essentially be made up, outdated, or inaccurate, and then be leaked to a salivating press to push an agenda? I feel like this is a tired plot by now. There's no reason

Most people use those handful of companies, so it holds a lot of water.

Why do US trade deals always seem to involve agriculture? I'm in favor of fair/open trade, and in my mind that would seem to come down to just trying to remove barriers, restrictions and tariffs for all products and industries equ

According to this person's deviantart that they linked to above, they're from Germany, so prices might be different there?

People might be different, I feel the actual opposite of this. I can easily eat a steak and feel craving for more. A mixed plate that is 1/3 meat and 2/3 carbs satiates me much more completely. I'm often amazed at just how mu

Could be. I don't necessarily think it's fluff to identify what fascism looks like. Identification is interesting and you can learn from it. But I guess you could say that simply knowing what fascism is, is insufficient for figuri

Having only read the subtitles for each section, it is interesting to me to see how this could easily be understood by either political party to vilify their opponents and find things that they do that fall under each. Some categories seem

I think the point is that even if such a service were completely decentralized, there would be the same calls to action against it. The point being made in the article is not so much about the companies themselves, it's about how peopl

Re #1, my other comment below: > I think if the author were calling for censorship to be lifted, his first and loudest argument would be for it to be removed from existing networks. But his ultimate judgment is that the existing networks

Switching costs are low. People use YouTube, Telegram, Slack, Instagram, Snapchat, and Reddit all day. Countless smaller forums are wildly popular for specific interests. If they fell, whatever platform is next in line would start receiving

It does come off that way at the start, but I felt that about 1/3 of the way through, the undertone shifts in a way that presumes censorship is desirable. I think if the author were calling for censorship to be lifted, his first and lo

What is really being asked to be broken up isn't a monopoly, but the way people interact with each other and organize themselves, which so far has manifested as large corporations because it has been the most efficient expression of ou

Is it? There are more forums on the internet than there have ever been. It's not like FB and Twitter are the only 2 platforms that exist. I'm skeptical that "breaking them up" would really do anything. People would conti

I was sort of with it until it seemed to pivot abruptly into poor reasoning for breaking up big tech companies. The article seems to make contradictory arguments that (1) censorship is good, (2) big tech is the only way censorship can be en

Definitely true, but also besides the point. The comment in question was suggesting government control/influence, not familial dynastic influence. Also just because much press internationally is political doesn't mean they share t

This is silly. As a US citizen with the internet, you have easy access to foreign press as well. Just go look at that and see how much of an alternate reality we're not in regarding this topic.

I thought this too but there is an embedded video on the page and I guess maybe that is what's being linked to.

You're conflating miners and brokerages and they don't operate nearly anything like each other. Miners do not custody funds. Large miners that control a farm can't run on empty, they need to pay for space, hardware, and elect

The utility is not just in it's function but since it's money, also in it's purchasing power and it's network. Your analogy is more like getting the Facebook database and spinning up 100 clones of it, all with 3 billion
