The latest figures point to 1/3 of people in the world will die due to cancer, and the statistics always have been close to that. Where are you getting the 50% figure from?

Sucralose (Splenda) has been linked to cancer quite convincingly last week. It's the only artificial sweetener that I used, and now there are no options except sugar alcohols. Monk Fruit has also been linked to cancer.

Yes, but hasn't there been also a big increase in certain cancers such as colorectal in young people, and researchers don't have good guesses at what could be causing them? The studies that I read ruled out screenings because it i

Calorie counting is a great exercise whether you stick to it or not. It's shocking to see how calorie dense are some processed foods and how easy it is to overeat. You get a feel for the portions you should be eating. Another cool thin

It sounds like an artificial hurdle to pass to get to the genuine article to reduce support/teaching costs. The only difference is that this hurdle is actually helpful some of the time.

I've always been intrigued by higher math, but I never got further than Calculus III, differential equations, and proofs by induction in discrete math. Do you have a suggestion on how to get into real math? Could taking a class in Abs

While I agree that Mac trackpads are fantastic, there's still a need for variety. For some reason, I don't feel at home using a trackpad in certain programs, such as Photoshop. The Magic Mouse feels better in that scenario, like I

The definition of toxic matters, because finding completely normal behaviors as hurtful might be indicative of a disorder in need of treatment.

> I don't know how cargo culting figures into this. Hosting email at big provider as a default option because it is "well known" that self-hosting email is unviable can be considered cargo culting.

That's the problem with the weak popular vocabulary. 'Toxic' can mean just about anything.

Is it really a problem or cargo culting? I certainly thought it was a problem, but I know a sysadmin that runs two small businesses's email on prem and he says that deliverability, even to major providers, has never been a problem, as

This is one area where LLMs will help tremendously. I've always hated the Save operation, because it forces you to think about a name that describes what you're working on, even though the idea isn't fully formed yet. I'

That wouldn't make sense. "Let's have a conference strictly for developers, but let's speak to a completely different audience in the keynote."

Why were you impressed by that? WWDC is a developer's conference. I bet many developers would have been offended if they were told AI is some enigma.
