Does it seem plausible to that a system that is intentionally, systematically, algorithmically optimized to keep your attention and drive engagement really has so little affect on us?

I have no knowledge of DNG, what I was suggesting is that someone should devise a some kind of extensible, self-describing format that can be used in place of RAW without losing any sensor data as with JPEG/HEIC/etc.

"World ending" is not the only valid security metric. Lots of viruses, worms and security vulnerabilities have. This is increasingly untenable as more of people's lives are in data.

That seems a little melodramatic, particularly since your only other options are that every untrusted program can access every authority like capturing every keystroke, or all programs are effectively neutered.

Does the study not literally refute the claim that fluoride's negative impact on IQ is lacking in evidence, contrary to the original claim? What exactly do you think needs to be updated?

The source of fluoride is irrelevant, the effect of fluoride is cumulative. If you're getting half of the "harmful dosage" just from your water, you're much more likely to pass that threshold than if the water had no flu

Maybe apply some critical thinking and notice that the water levels from fluoridation add on top of any other sources of fluoride people ingest, eg. toothpaste, food, etc.

by naasking 2y ago
The source of fluoride is irrelevant, the effect of fluoride is cumulative. If you get 0.7mg/L from drinking water and then add toothpaste and other sources, you could easily surmount the level where harmful effects occur.

This also has issues with security fixes, unfortunately.
