I think part of the issue is that it is on the OS level rather than browser level on a specific website but I agree, they are all shady.

I don't think it solves everything but it is why I like the concept of B-Corps. I think the growth at all costs concept is at odds often with other important factors but we can adjust. I think B-Corps are a good start at re-aligning ou

I don't know if the density part is really relevant. One the whole, they are comparable. Country to US it varies, and States (US) to other countries it varies even more [0]. I have lived in several very densely populated cities and the

I agree entirely with how you described the search experience. I would often try three or four ways to get a website I wanted back in the day. I am finding myself learning what search engines I like more for specific types of searches. Some

It is a concern that they also hold. They are working on some sort of fix [0] (I warn you their website is annoying). One quote from their website: "The LEGO Group aims to send zero waste to landfill by 2025, and in 2018 recycled 93%

Places like that do exist but I agree they should be more common. DC food halls often double as market places, but other cities do seem to lack that side of the hall.

I think that there is for sure an aspect of underdeveloped skills. That could come from lack of interest, background/culture/environment, or any other number of reasons sure. But I think a bigger aspect is how psychologists often

Not OP but I think some people think that Microsoft might make it more difficult to use other services with GitHub rather than just streamline it for Microsoft. I don't think strengthening Microsoft + GitHub integration is a problem an

I find WSJ's coverage of physics is generally bad. I don't have super concrete examples, but most WSJ quantum articles I read jump right into misconceptions or generalizations to the point of false statements, or are so vague and

Carbs and sugars are (almost, but obviously with nuances) interchangeable in the way I am using them, from the bio-chem sense. I do see what you are saying and see where this back and forth is coming in. No, there is absolutely no reason t

Nutrition is a field, from the science perspective, that does not work in absolutes. It is too complex of a field for us to really pin anything down for populations or individuals. That is why we as individuals have to find a way to tune i

You can (and should) say the exact same thing about sugars as you did about fats. There is a healthy way to eat sugars, fats, and proteins. They are all important and what it usually comes down to is the age old saying "all things in

I actually think that is pretty solid variable naming. dependentVariable_flatTax_agree_wave1 isn't the worst but also the researchers are looking at this so long it makes sense for them to shorten. I think pretty vs usable code is on
