It's his formal training, he is a licensed acupuncturist. The man has absolutely no business talking about heart disease, especially with an experienced cardiologist. The problem of putting someone with acupuncture training debating a

That is highly unlikely, such a mundane job as a sysadmin compared to having your own online business. If he liked it that much, then probably he wouldn't have started a whole side project that must have consumed evenings and weekends

He does have some shared responsibility for the accuracy of what gets said on his show and the guests that he invites. When he invites a guest he gives them a platform, many people hear what some of those quacks have to say and take it at f

There is not much financial risk involved in his case, and it looks like he already has the skills needed. He already makes over 10 times his salary. In one year of employment, he spared the equivalent salary of 10 years. I think people exa

You don't have to work for someone else and be an employee your whole life, it's not the only way. There are other choices available to you. You can also be your own boss too and have other people working for you, or at least help

There are a couple of huge differences. You don't have financially anything to gain by that, and you are not influencing the opinions of a huge number of people in the process. There is already so much scientific ignorance in the gener

That was just an example among many. Anything from alien landings to Atlantis to god knows what is fair game to Rogan. He will gladly give his huge platform to the most complete wacko as long as it makes a good story and gets him his clicks

Be careful, because his podcast is a bit of an echo chamber. The other day he set up a debate on nutrition where he covered the topic of heart disease, and he put a cardiologist (Dr. Khan) with 20 years of experience debating with an acupun

I think a lot of applications will be built without the need for developers, significantly reducing the number of professional developers needed. Also, testing will be fully AI automated, other than some initial configuration there won&#x27

I was working in Lisbon straight out of college in a consulting company, and we were 300 people occupying 3 floors in one of the city's major office areas. Things were already going downhill, but then 9/11 came, we had a building

So going on 10 billion humans don't have anything to do with it? A large part of the habitable land covered in agricultural fields, polar caps melting, forecasts of 2 degrees increase in temperature by the end of the century, its just

Yes, I can already see all the articles saying that the meltdown of the ice sheets is "not that bad after all", even though the melting is on record levels in the last few years. This is why even in the age of the Internet, it&#x2

Even if current levels of radiation are harmless, it does not mean that the same applies to 5G. Studies funded by the 5G industry are 10 times more likely to say there are no side effects on human, which is suspect and an indication that is

The article is a bit suspect, the author seems to have a personal dislike on the guy. The author works for the American Council on Science and Health which is a nonprofit, but I couldn't find the sponsors. The article uses personal ins

Anything about him worth mentioning? After a quick search online, at first glance, he looks like a reputable researcher. Does he have industry ties that we should be aware of, reputation issues, conflicts of interest, something else?

Due to the exponential rise of the human population, which shows no signs of slowing down, it might go quite fast. There are many geological processes that get triggered in an exponential way and can radically change the ecosystem. For exam

I think this is also a likely cause, the odds that life even develops beyond the microscopic level, plus the fact that civilizations probably don't last that long combined with the scale of the cosmos and the light speed limitation mea

For example, we are now moving away from nuclear due to the dangers associated, so we only have it for less than 100 hundred years. The half-life of uranium is 4.5 billion years. Let's say civilization of earth is wiped out and someone

The thing is, Amazon in its privileged monopoly position in practice forces you to choose between publishing exclusively on Amazon or self-publishing, at least for new authors. This is because unless you agree to exclusivity, you will be de

I think the whole comparison of imgur with a blank page with an image is a bit silly. It's not just the image, its a whole application with comments,image galeries, video playing ability, and of course a ton of iframes with ads which l

No wonder with Amazon taking 70% of the sales price if the e-book goes even one cent above $9.99. If the e-book is sold below that it's "only" 30% - those are absolutely exploitative conditions! I'm glad that more books
