This is an opinion piece by an unknown author that references a lot of nutrition papers that are heavily controversial. For example their evidence for the claim that meat "isn't bad for you" is the very anecdotal following pa

That’s interesting. What type of reasons are typically accepted for getting access? I’m assuming if you are attempting to commercialize a domain website or project they may give you access?

Politely disagree. I ride a bicycle as a means of transportation around Seattle and the exhaust from vehicles is so unpleasant that it makes me consider either not going out, or also driving a vehicle instead to get around. Further, it'

I'm sure they are inundated with people trying to game the system and they can't keep up with it. Still, they should have an escape hatch for sellers like me who are highly motivated to fix these issues and willing to go to great

Yes; I would not be so adamant about supporting this idea if it weren't for my own personal experience. I'm not sure if there are any serious proposals on the table on how they should be broken up; but I could imagine different co

Yeah. I often call them actually. It's nice to finally be able to get someone on the phone, but they're really unhelpful unfortunately, even when asking to escalate. The general answer is "the team that handles these matters

Maybe silly question and probably OT but do sellers have any rights to sell on Amazon's platform? I had been selling for years and seem to have some benign error which has caused my seller account to be deactivated (Yes literally a ben

That would be an awesome feature for this plugin to include. Hoping they add it. I'm using this plugin now and it's very pleasant.

Woah, this is a big deal. On a weekly basis I find myself trying to dig deep into research and data on a health abnormality that I'm experiencing and often am greeted by a paywall. It's just not practical for me to pay for access

But this would only make it unique on the CENT blockchain, no? What if another blockchain becomes the standard offerer, wouldn't that devalue everything on the CENT blockchain? Further, wouldn't we expect multiple blockchains to b

You're saying you can embed all the SVGs onto one page, and then reference them on other pages/domains by using xlink.href? I haven't heard of this? So what you're describing is having site.com/page1 which has marku

I do personally for color control. You can see my heavy use of SVGs here at a site I'm in the middle of implementing [0]. For example, if you look in the :root {} you will see a lot of CSS variables that are declared and which manipula

I wouldn't have a problem with that, but the messaging that they're sending me should be consistent. They should tell me that my account is banned in these marketplaces for the QC issue years past and leave it at that. Instead wha

Amazon's automation and lack of accountability towards sellers is mind-deranging. I have a popular product on Amazon US that had a QC issue in 2017. Despite having it been resolved later that year, I am still banned from selling my pro

Crowdfunding on Kickstarter changed my life. I was just a kid with an idea in college in 2014 and decided to try a project that became a business that I am still running today. I think there are gems to be found here and there, but it is de

When I started this I was too dumb to know better. It was incredibly difficult and all of the money I raised on Kickstarter went down the drain due to bad suppliers and inexperience. Without the upfront investment of many people, I probably

Oh that's interesting. A range hood that recirculates? I didn't know that was even a thing. Must have a very powerful HEPA filter in there or something; not sure how safe I would feel with that. I suppose I'll just be more pr

Do you have a source for NO2 being difficult to direct out of a house with a range hood? My range hood is maybe ~3 feet from the source, I'm wondering if it's enough or if I should do something more proactive.

I find this to be highly unlikely. I took statins for about two weeks and started getting weird muscle pains and aches which resolved within 2-3 days after ending treatment. I didn't even know that muscle pains were a potential side ef
