I don't know if they made additional profits from this. I think they hid their holdings to prevent bad press for the LDS church. Not to give them a market advantage. This appears to me to be a slap on the wrist saying "don't

We had a paper that had one 8am lecture a week. Without fail we went through questions that would later be in the exam. The same numbers and everything. Of the 50 or so in the class under 10 showed up to that 8am session.

Yes but not all criticism is shaming. There is tremendous value in learning how to take negative feedback without letting it get you down. It's not easy but it's valuable. I'm surprised in the direction we've headed. Ins

As someone who is fat and unhealthy I don't think it is. You're not rejecting me to tell me I need to lose some weight, you're suggesting you care about my well being. I don't understand the modern idea that you must cel

That's an interesting question. I doubt we'll ever be able to answer. I do wonder if some of the increase is a shift in how people perceive their own gender. Perhaps some in the non binary would have used different language in the

I don't think the original question conveyed anything negative about homosexuality or transgenderism. Only that they were interested if chemicals could have altered human sexuality. It was asked without the care one would normally use

One form of obvious lying is the modern headline. Now that clicks drive revenue many story's don't even come close to what the headline suggests. I do think this is maliciousness, they're telling a lie to draw you in to make

Yeah it's possible that I'm conflating correlation with causation. But her dentist seems to think it's a factor. They coat her teeth with a fluoride paste and it seems to be working. On the flip side her late 90s grandmother

My wife grew up in Vietnam. No fluoride in her water (she grew up on bottle water). The dental work is expensive and regular.

We use F# and Excel as our main tools. This seems like a product made in heaven. But this would never fly for us. The pricing model could not be sold to management. What would work is if it was something like $5k for a year of updates. We&#

In New Zealand we have anti conversion therapy laws. The way the law is written it may not be legal for a trained councilor to suggest that a child is not trans if they present as trans. I don't know if it's possible that 100% of

F# fable Elmish is really nice and similar. I've heard good things about purescript too. I love using the SAFE stack in F#. You get the Elm architecture, and the same language front and back. You can even have shared code between the t

Yeah, then when the half baked thing you've rushed out falls over it's your fault. Despite the customer asking for exactly that level of quality. When bugs appear it because the engineer is an idiot not that they wanted to write t
