For colitis, it doesn't seem to simply be the nicotine as studies using nicotine patches saw little or no effect. This suggests the smoke itself may have some effect. There is a summary at https://www.crohnsandcolitis.org.uk

Realistically, only a small proportion read entire Wikipedia articles of such length. Most users would scan the introduction of the old version and come away with the belief he was some sort of noble hero, rather than a crackpot.

Is 'widespread social unrest' an euphemism for the pogroms and riots such as the 1391 massacre of Spanish Jews, culminating in (a century later) all Jews being thrown out of Spain with little more than the shirts on their backs?

If you use the rclone sync command it will alter the destination directory to look like the source. If you use the rclone copy command it will do the same but without deleting anything. There are flags for eg skipping files that have a newe

It's the principal/agent problem. If the director is an agent of the shareholders then conflict of interest IS corruption unless you have some sort of safeguard to stop it affecting your behaviour.

That's not a grey area at all. If you are a director and you are pushing your board to drive business to a company you have a significant stake in, you MUST disclose that. A grey area would be more like whether you should offer to leav

The London Stock Exchange doesn't allow such dual class share structures for exactly this reason. That's partly why it has become so unpopular with tech companies. They are considering changing the rule but many of London's b

That's exactly the point - sleep states and efficiency is indeed 'byzantine' and I don't see how you expect individual purchasers to understand it. 'Byzantine' complicated things are exactly where regulation is

Lookups in excel are fine, at least now we have XLOOKUP but there's something depressing about an excel model which contains multiple massive grids of lookups. I find such things are much easier in a real join, where you can get your d

That book isn't so much about R weirdness. It's more about teaching data scientists to consider the implications of practices like copying a huge table in memory on every loop iteration.
