I think the issue with salt and eggs is that we talk of humans in the aggregate. For eggs, there is some small percentage of the population that passes the cholesterol into actual high levels of serum LDL. For salt, there is some small perc

This reasoning is great. When black churches are being shot up, that is not an appropriate time to criticize Uganda's action as a country. When South Americans are being detained in cages at the border, that is not an appropriate time

Arguing this topic is a waste of your time. Eat delicious healthy meat, lift, and let these people enjoy their metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and dementia. It's not your problem.

It's worse than this, though. You pay whether the doctor killed you or not. Roughly a quarter million Americans are murdered annually by preventable medical errors, and nobody cares. Furthermore, your estate gets full billing after the

As long as it's running, anyone can exfiltrate your key material from SDRAM. And even for a few minutes after it's running, if they can dump them in LN2 quickly enough. There are kludgy schemes to make this harder, like Schneier&#

As an aside, I've seen poor results from (2) and (3) a few times, regardless of gender. Junior marketers who run a litany of extremely expensive campaigns, generate a lot of revenue at the cost of negative ROI, and act shocked when los

Plenty of organizations in which the marketing or PR department maintains the company blog, not their core IT staff. This is likely their "good reason". Unpatched WP instances full of vulns are also rampant for this reason.

That's a good point. It's pretty easy to construct and maintain fission reactors without fossil fuels. I bet enriching uranium was a snap in the 18th century, too. It will be even easier even getting to the enrichment phase in the
