To see that a society with low levels of physical activity and high intake of sugars (of all kinds) and other highly processed foods results in some measurable poor health outcomes?

by stetrain 2y ago
I think the issue is less about corn syrup sugar vs cane sugar, gram for gram, and more about the subsidization of corn and low cost of corn syrup creating an incentive to use more sugar in processed food products.

Seems like a company operating in the US according to US employment standards to me. We’re free to increase our employment standards, we just have to outbid the American oligarchs for political power. Did you know that there is actually no

In the last 5 years the only real service my EV has had is a 12V battery replacement (done under warranty), cabin air filters, wipers/wiper fluid, and tire rotations. And those can pretty easily be done DIY or at a local tire shop. I c

You said they are "doing the absolute minimum to make the thing work is the way they want to go" which is a strange thing to say about offering a free adapter for DC fast charging for their existing customers. Maybe it makes sense

In the US especially post WW2 we implemented a zoning system which mostly groups the same type of building (residential, commercial, industrial) together. In a place with residential zoning you can't just build a pub without getting an

What's the privacy issue if I use a third-party passkey manager like Bitwarden or 1Password and the passkeys are unique for each website?

by stetrain 2y ago
Their post actually says "face, fingerprint, or PIN" When you set up a PIN in Windows it can either be numeric or a full text password, it's your choice.

by stetrain 2y ago
With a password manager storing unique passwords, your password is still being sent over the network to that website each time you log in. With a password manager storing passkeys, your private passkey is not transmitted as part of the webs

The Windows PIN is just a local password that isn't tied to a cloud account or ever sent across the network. Mine is a full text password, it doesn't have to be numeric. I haven't tried it but it should also work with "W

If redevelopment is the assumed outcome of the zoning change, then that means the single-family suburb is existing in spite of market demands, held back only by such zoning laws preventing denser development. I don't know the specific

by stetrain 2y ago
If zoning allows a multiplex to be built on your lot, and you decide to sell it because the market values redeveloping it more than you value staying, then I think that's your decision. In the big picture, if you want single-family sub

That's still a copy, just one where both copies remember their life before being copied and equally think they are the original. The original will still experience aging and death.

Yeah, I had to follow the link to another referenced article and read an image caption to find out that this seems to have just happened on November 11, I assume this year. Usually a date and year are useful details to include in a story.

Right, but high sugar content isn't better than high HFCS content. Both are bad. The main issue with HFCS seems to be how cheap and subsidized it is which leads to being a major ingredient in a large number of products that should just
